030: Pet Parenting Done Right

 

Is your home overrun with hardly-used dog + cat toys, like mine?

Do you find yourself wondering whether there’s an eco-friendly alternative to those plastic poo bags?

When it comes to pet parenting, it’s easy to buy All. The. Toys. It’s easy to forget about sustainability, too.

That’s where today’s episode comes in.

My guest is Kim Almon. She’s a blogger, animal-lover + expert on sustainability + minimalism as they apply to our furry friends. On today’s episode, we: 

– Answer the pet-related questions YOU ask ME most, including reuses for dog food bags, the most sustainable litter box practices + more, 

– Outline pros + cons of pet subscription boxes, and

– Detail Kim’s eco-friendly pet movement, #take3forthetrees, so that you, too, can participate. 

Enjoy!

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:

[5:30] Identifying exactly where and why capsule wardrobes fall short

[11:00] Why doesn't buying more clothes solve the problems associated with getting dressed? Conversely, why isn't decluttering the singular solution?

[16:00] Say goodbye to capsule wardrobes and hello to your 20 outfit wardrobe

[20:00] Getting to the root of our cultural reverence for bottomless closets

[28:00] The trend cycle is not your friend, so hop off that bandwagon!
