Minimal Monthly

Hello, hello!

During the raging fire earlier this month, a woman from L.A. wrote in to me, asking about a picture of some metal bento boxes she had seen on Tidymalism. She was putting together a bug-out bag in case she had to be evacuated.

She struck me as being incredibly calm. I had a hard time finding the right words to respond to her in such a situation, but I let her know where I found the steel boxes and wished her good luck. I hope she's okay. I hope you're okay.

If you want to help the folks who lost their homes in the wildfires, there are a few ways you still can.

New on the Blog

• The fourth and last installment of last year's book reading challenge has a run-down of some good non-fiction books in the areas of small biz, personal development and philosophy. Most of the titles are available on Kindle. You might find some inspo in this series for your next read!

Cool Stuff

• Have you checked out Pantone's colour of the year, Moccha Mousse? I didn't care for it at first glance, but I'm starting to see it everywhere now and it's growing on me.
• In 1974, this Japanese photographer snapped a pic of his wife every morning when she left the house for work. It's a cute series.
• ​How to pick up a person in an emergency. Very literally speaking.
• This artsy home is totally maximalist and very different from what I usually surface, yet I love it. Those high windows are just 😍.
• Here's a five-minute mini-workout that helps battle all the aches and pains caused by sitting in front of a screen all day. 👍

Be well. ✨
