The Atlantic podcast about the decline of fabric quality was so interesting and easy to follow along. Thank you for sharing! Will be sending to friends too
The clothing issue has been on my mind too. I live in a remote area and pretty much have to order everything online. It’s so hard not to be able to touch the fabrics before buying. I also go back and forth between feeling ok about spending $278 for a dress and then feeling awful about it when I see something similar for $150. I am a minimalist really … I barely shop, so when I do, I want it to count! I would really appreciate a roundup of labels that do a good job both from the ethical and quality standpoints (just in the comments, I mean!).
I love the link round up this week! I’ve been so frustrated with the decline in clothing quality— it’s been particularly noticeable to me the last few years (even with organic or more sustainable brands), although the trend has obviously been going on much longer than that.
Your herb garden looks great! And terracotta pot-swoon! All my pots are terracotta that I've collected over time. Someone recently asked if I get bored of them, never! I find if my cinnamon rolls don't rise, they still taste good.

Re: Phones - I literally just read this before seeing your post: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/03/teen-childhood-smartphone-use-mental-health-effects/677722/ Totally worth the read.
The post about Katie Britt provides a lot of food for thought and is well worth reading. Thanks for sharing!
The essay by Sarah Aziza was so powerful. Thank you for sharing.

so so many recs in the minimalist wardrobe pieces I wrote on reading my tea leaves!
