as erin boyle’s blog title might suggest, Reading My Tea Leaves is a lovely lifestyle blog celebrating a practical and purposeful approach to a simple, sustainable life. and now erin has written her first book, Simple Matters: Living with Less and Ending Up with More — a beautiful and thoughtful message of simplicity, paring down, and living with what you love. For anyone (like me!) looking to declutter, organize, and simplify, simple matters shares practical guidance and personal insights on small-space living and conscious consumption. At once pragmatic and philosophical, erin’s book is a nod to the growing consensus that living simply and purposefully is more sustainable not only for the environment but for our own happiness and well-being, too — and embraces the notion that “living small” is beneficial and accessible to us all.
Filled with personal essays, projects, and helpful advice on how to be inventive and resourceful in a tight space, simple matters shows that living simply is about making do with less and ending up with more: more free time, more time with loved ones, more savings, and more things of beauty. here’s a sneak peek at some of the pretty imagery.
