The Minimalist Babe: Tidying-Up Your Whole Life review

“Minimalism is about living life with only the things that are truly essential for you.” So says Lola Marie, author of The Minimalist Babe: Tidying-Up Your Whole Life. The world has just shown us what is truly essential: good friends and family, good health, and toilet paper.

There was a time when I’d ha...
