All-Things Eggs

There’s lots to consider when buying eggs. What does “humanely raised” mean, exactly, and are free-range eggs actually worth the extra cost?

As it turns out, there are many misleading claims on egg cartons. On today’s short and sweet episode I’m answering listener Lauren’s question about intentional egg purchasing. My goal is to arm you with facts – not marketing gimmicks! – so that you can confidently spend in ways aligned with your values the next time you’re at your farmer’s market or grocery store.

  1. Hi Stephanie –

    I am a septuagenarian with minimal cyber skills. Sorry, I couldn’t find how to give you a thumbs up or a review. I did enjoy this discussion of eggs, and I’m glad to see that I basically buy my eggs from the farmers market, or from the same farmers, who supply our small organic grocery store.

  2. Correction to my previous comment: “glad to say” (not “see”) !

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

[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!
