Minimalism can feel like a buzzword that only the most committed can attain. Our guest today, Rachel Bright, made living a more simplified lifestyle seem like both a worthy goal and also a realistic one. Paris and I are both feeling inspired to clear out our excess in order to make room for calm, clean, and intentional time in our homes.   Recommended Books:   - Outer Order Inner Calm by Gretchen Rubin   - The Joy of Less by Francine Jay   - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up & Spark Joy by Marie   - Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne and Lisa Ross   - The Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies   Other tips not mentioned:   - Rent or borrow when you can before you buy something! (Ex: power tools, library books, even clothing rental )   - It is easiest to do my closet after I’ve gotten something new that I loooove—this helps because I can compare all my other things to the new item   -On Holidays start with your focus on the other senses first before you buy decor! Holiday candles/oils, food menu, music, etc.   - One-in-one out! If I get a new toaster I’ll donate the old one   - It is important once you’ve finished to put systems in place so that others can maintain what you’ve done—like labels and clear categories   You can see more of Rachel on Instagram @rachelmbright.
