L'Art de La Simplicite: How to Live More with Less | 
I am always intrigued by books about slimming down clutter and simplifying -- because our outer environment reflects our inner one, so I started this one (French edition) to refresh my language skills. But I eventually came to a part where it was suggested that I would need to toss out all my wardrobe, beauty products, handbag, etc and buy new trendy stuff. I didn't proceed.
#simplicity is a process rather than a destination! @darklunarose
Darklunarose Simplicity is what makes your life easier, throwing away lots of stuff is not going to do that for many of us. Also a lot of people can not afford (literally can not afford) to throw things away Willy Nilly 3y
LindaLappin @Darklunarose it's also a process in which you observe yourself, habits, and attachment to things, people, attitudes, to see what you really can let go of and what you truly need. different parts of yourself have different needs--and those can change over time. in a way it's like weeding a garden I suppose. 3y
LindaLappin Loreau's point was that if you have good quality multifunctional basics in everything from clothes, house furnishings, personal care items, kitchen gear --the paraphernalia of the quotidian --your life will be easier, you'll save money--you'll be more satisfied. & have a healthier impact on the planet. not bad advice --but I can't afford many of the products she recommends either. 3y
Darklunarose That is very spot on! 3y
