In Defense Of Staycations

In Defense Of Staycations

Have a summer trip planned? You’re not alone. For many, traveling has become more lifestyle than luxury: in the time it takes you to read this blurb over 2,000 people will have arrived in a foreign country and a quarter of a million dollars will have been spent by Americans abroad.

Staycations are emerging in popularity as a hassle-free and environmentally friendly way to holiday. And if you need more convincing, today’s conversation with podcaster Chris Christou outlines why being a better tourist starts at home.

Here’s a preview:
[8:00] Connections between the tourism industry and late stage capitalism
[10:45] Eco-tourism is an oxymoron! (And other greenwashing examples)
[24:00] Airbnb’s cultural consequences
[31:00] 3 research-backed tips for making the most of your next staycation

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!
