Protected: For Earth Day, the why in Manuma
I realized recently that my fashion schooling was punctuated by several significant events– disasters, really– that mark the intersections of my values system as a citizen of the world and as a fashion designer. They were landmarks on the map that lead to me to build Manuma.
People, Planet
I started classes at Parsons in Manhattan in September, 2011.…
KonMari
I’m really happy with the way my home has become lighter. Things that caused me anxiety or were somehow connected with guilt or stress are mostly gone. I spend MUCH less time on cleaning, and somehow gravitate towards hyggelig activities which I have neglected for years.
I actually (re)discovered HyggethroughKonmari.
Konmari is about comfort, not minimalism. It’s about a wholesome home that inspires you to live well. It’s about having the right amount of things that make you happy. It’s about removing the rest of the stuff so that your favourite things can shine. Also I found the books soothing, and even though the approach is Japanese and not nordic, it’s still very hygge.
For the uninitiated, Konmari is a method of going through your possessions in a specific order, and keeping only those that spark joy (give you a good feeling in the gut, which means that they are aligned with who you are right now and with how you want your home and life to be).
What does not spark joy is stuff that you own because of attachment to the past or fear of the future. The method is explained in the books The Life Changing Magic Of Tidying Up, and it’s follow up Spark Joy.
I’m getting really into minimalism lately. I have always loved a good house purge but these days I feel like I want to go deeper with it. I feel a need in my stomach to get rid of things and only keep the things that give me joy.

What’s So Great About That: Episode 26
Kondo-Culture: The Fall of the House of Stuff
The recent decline of objects goes beyond decluttering, so why are we suddenly so keen on getting rid of things? And what role do objects play in our increasingly digital world? This essay follows the rise and fall of ‘stuff’, through art, philosophy and Marie Kondo.
hello friendly reminder that you do not need a special occasion to use nice things! if you wait long enough your nice bath bomb won’t be as fizzy! your favourite fruits will go out of season! candles are meant to be burned, not looked at! you’re not enjoying your special tea if it’s just sitting in your cupboard! you’re allowed to have nice and special things on completely ordinary days! heck, it might just make that day special!!
The book fairy visited me twice last week. I love that when my friends heard I’d been laid off from work, their instinct was to send me books! (And Oreos, and Japanese KitKats.) Thank you so much @sarachicazul and @kristiecolon1! You ladies have helped keep me steady this month.
