ABOUT THE CLASS
Learn how living with less can unlock a life of more-more energy, more savings, and more time to do the things you love!
As a recent grad on a tight budget, Erin Boyle furnished her first apartment through a mix of ingenuity, crafting, and making do without. She soon discovered that living simply was not only more affordable but also more sustainable for her happiness and the environment.
Since then, she’s developed an approach to minimalism that’s accessible and beneficial to everyone-whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or ready for a change you can’t quite pinpoint.

ABOUT ERIN BOYLE
Erin Boyle is the writer and photographer behind Reading My Tea Leaves. She’s a minimalist with a penchant for a good story and a soft spot for an aged patina. Her approach to living simply is one that acknowledges that life isn’t always simple, but the curtains can be.
Past work in historic and cultural preservation informs her desire to cherish what is beautiful, useful, and meaningful. Time spent living in an apartment with a footprint of just 173 square feet taught her to reevaluate everything else. Erin’s first book, Simple Matters, came out in January, 2016. It’s 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.
Erin embraces the notion that “living small” is beneficial and accessible to us all-whether we’re renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house. Erin lives in New York City with her husband, James, and three children.

Hi

[@bloomandaura]

Early!!

[@AdnanSardarYousafzai]

@Boyle great concept/philosophy. P.S: how about simplifying your acting a little bit? It's making me uncomfortable. Great Work BTW.

[@zOYAlove215]

So is color a point of discomfort for you? Geez so much beige and white lol but to each their own

[@nileshupadhyay13]

Minimalism, from where it started has completely lost its core values.

[@lhdr5955]

how so?

[@nileshupadhyay13]

@@lhdr5955 the idea was to live with minimal things. But these are just simple organisation tips. The no. of crates she has is non-minimal itself. Eg; don't keep so many books, either pass it on or buy digitaly.

[@lhdr5955]

@@nileshupadhyay13 Minimalism is all about owning only what adds value and meaning to your life and removing the rest. So it is different for everyone.
And i mean this is a DIY video about decluttering your home. Not how to minimise.
