Thanks for coming by the blog!

My best posts are located here, this is a little bit more about who I am and why I chose minimalism.

Please consider subscribing to my RSS Feed or visiting my second blog: Fabulously Broke in the City (a lifestyle blog with a little money talk).

If you have any questions, comments, tips or ideas for future posts, please don’t hesitate to contact me using the form below.

Or if you want to ask it Anonymously you can do so here.

My most emailed questions:

Question #1:Where can I buy a Japanese futon?

Purchase a Japanese Futon HERE at J-Life International!

Someone I know very well purchased one from J-Life International, and she loved the shipping and service.

They are based in the United States but they will ship to Canada and the United Kingdom. Please contact them for any other shipping areas.

And in the spirit of full disclosure, I get a 5% referral commission if you do.

Question #2: Do I take guest posts or solicitations for product/site/blog reviews?

No. All requests will be politely ignored.

I will write guest posts for you on your personal, non-commercial blog, but I don’t accept any guest posting for my site.

I am also not interested in reviewing products, sites or blogs.

Thank you for asking!

    Is Serena still writing here? If she is tell her Luke aka FatStupidAmerican is wondering what she’s been up to and she should shoot me a message at the email that I had to provide to fill this out.

    I would LOVE to hear from people (when they are back to ‘normal’) who either rode out Sandy or had to evacuate–what did they take with them/miss? It would be a great addition to ‘save in a fire’ type posts now that there has been a major disaster in the recent past.

    It’s easy to give up meat and dairy and seafood, even if you love them tons and tons and think you wouldn’t be able to stand it if you thought you could never eat them again.

    Hi,
    I was going to send you a message, but your contact form does not work without  Really Simple CAPTCHA. Anyway, I was wondering if you like to get to know our minimalist fashion style? We produce independent designer fashion for woman. We are based in Hungary and UK. You can check out the NUBU style on http://www.88style.me

    Cheers,
    Sylvie

     I started to be a minimalist, but am finding it tough. Any advise for deciding what stays, goes… and advise on making it easier to part with “stuff”
    My place is tiny, so I need to cull!
    Love the blog and how you got out of debt, created your own career, and are now enjoying travel.  It will take me 10 plus years to get “out of debt”  and no where near the income you earn in your 20′s , good for you!  Now write a book to encourage others… a friend I know creates doodle books, and I am put you together if you like?  Your info and her insightful drawings would make a great team?  

    Best,
    Robin

    Just came upon your blog through Pinterest (ironically enough!). I read several of your tips and articles. They are great! Thanks so much. I look forward to reading some more when I have a little more time.

    I’ve gotten a message the last few times I’ve tried to visit the FB site saying that the site distributes? malware. I know you are in the process of selling the site but wondered if anyone else had reported this issue or if you knew anything about it. Thanks so much!

    Got a chuckle from reading your blog posts. Interesting, wise and timely.  We had started the Minimalist Group back in 1999.  It has evolved into our Poor Man Survival.com site and blog which addresses becoming more self sufficient, having less government intrusion and a more frugal lifestyle.
    Keep the pace!

    I didn’t find the form either so I’ll just post my question here. I would like to know your opinion on some product I have designed. My intention was to keep it (and the website) as minimalist as possible: http://www.cleaneverything.com/

      Thanks for the note, but as I said before — to each their own.

    Hiya. I can’t see any form on this page. My question is, if you have a futon, table and chairs as your only furniture… where do you keep your clothes?

    • http://www.everydayminimalist.com The Everyday Minimalist

      I keep most of them in my suitcases in packing cubes :) <– Am trying to pare down right now as we speak.

      They get all rolled up and stuff and are kind of wrinkly, which SUCKS because I have to iron them.

      Also, I rent apartments… and places. They usually have empty closets which have hangers and I only hang up pieces I hate ironing a billion times but wear a lot of.
