TOEIC®??????????600???????iKnow!

Keep it simple this week. Be kind to yourself and to those around you.

Minimalist gift giving - does such a thing exist? I'm sharing how I approach the holiday season as a minimalist and “slow living” enthusiast. I don’t think what I do is particularly revolutionary but I have found that it helps to stave off a lot of the panic and anxiety that this season causes for a lot of people.

In this episode - is it possible to have a mindful Black Friday and Cyber Monday experience? Plus, I'm sharing what I’m planning on buying on Cyber Monday this year. Gasp - I know! A minimalist looking for a deal during one of the craziest shopping days of the year? Who even am I??? https://www.tinyambitions.com/tinybites39

Apologies for the tardiness of this episode! I mulled over several topics earlier this week that I wanted to discuss for Tiny Bites, but none of them felt right. Which, incidentally, is how I finally decided on this week’s topic. When I started to think about why nothing felt right for this week’s episode, I realized it was because I’d fallen into my bi-annual seasonal funk. That funk is the lovely time of year when the seasons change and your body gets thrown all out of whack. www.tinyambitions.com/tinybites38

As promised in the last episode of Tiny Bites, this week’s episode is another listener request. When I put out my call for topics, fellow blogger and friend Penny from She Picks Up Pennies, asked if I would talk about the next steps in the decluttering process, for people who are deep in the middle of it and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel (my words, not Penny’s). When Penny suggested this topic, my wheels immediately started turning because I’ve been out of that place for a couple of years now. So, what do you do when you hit a decluttering roadblock?

As you can probably guess by the title of this episode, it was International Podcast Day today! If you’ve been listening to Tiny Bites from the beginning, you know that I accidentally created a podcast while making an Anchor account. But, I ran with it and I’ve really enjoyed making Tiny Bites episodes for over a year now! This week’s episode of Tiny Bites is going to be all about the process of creating your own podcast. Or, to be more accurate, the process of how I went about creating Tiny Bites hopefully for the benefit of anyone out there who wants to start your own podcast. Even if you don’t want to start your own podcast, I wanted to cover this topic to demystify the process a little bit.

In this week's episode of Tiny Bites, I'm waxing poetic about the lost art form of fermentation and why I've been loving it lately as a gateway into slow living. Fermentation might be a weird thing to be super jazzed about, but I've been digging it these last couple months as a new tool in my DIY toolkit.

Welcome back to Tiny Bites! I can't believe it's been two months since season one ended. Time sure does fly! In the inaugural episode of this season, I'm sharing my first-ever virtual reality experience and all the messy philosophical questions it left me pondering.  Leave a comment over at tinyambitions.com/tinybites33 or email me directly at tinyambitionsblog@gmail.com.

It's the finale of the first season of Tiny Bites! I've decided to give myself the summer off from podcasting to recharge and come up with more awesome content for the fall. Before I sign off though, I'm having an existential crisis about seeing my life all packed up in boxes. Happy listening! https://www.tinyambitions.com/tinybites32

Today I want to talk about creativity and how it can be helped or hindered by minimalism. Spoiler alert: I think it can be both sometimes.

Remember that time, back in January when I started doing a shopping ban? Well, it’s been five months and I haven’t done an update in a while so I thought I would do one for this week's episode of Tiny Bites. Plus, a message from a listener on last week's episode of Tiny Bites, about minimalism and practicality. https://www.tinyambitions.com/tinybites29
