Today we're talking about my minimalist newborn essentials! OPEN ME! ______ Babies and minimalism? Two concepts not often associated. Now, I'll be the first to tell you that when you have a baby there will be stuff. Babies do need stuff... and if you're a new parent, you're going to need stuff that you didn't need before. (And, yes, there may even be more stuff than you have room for... *gulp* ?) That's a lot of stuff. Stuff, stuff, stuff. But, that being said, there are some ways you can avoid being overtaken by copious amounts of... stuff. Read on. How to Be a Minimalist Parent? Above all, the first thing you shouldn't buy is the hype. Don't buy the hype that you need all the gadgets, dealies, and baby paraphernalia that everyone on the internet tells you you do. (This goes for my essentials, too, btw. Chances are, something that's been super essential to me, might be superfluous for you.) Being a mindful mama is about really analyzing what you and/or your baby truly need... and maybe that's not 20 blankets. Maybe it is, but most likely not. Secondly, if you'd like to avoid getting overloaded with the extraneous, you must ask yourself som pertinent questions about your lifestyle. So, for example, if you walk more than you drive, you'll need fewer baby accessories for the car, and maybe more baby carriers. Also, how often do you like doing laundry? If you're a do-a-load-every-day type of person you're not going to need nearly as many baby clothes (or linens) as our put-off-laundry-until-I'm-on-my-last-pair-of-undies friends. Doing this preliminary lifestyle analysis will really help you to avoid getting caught up in the "everyone else seems to need this, I must need it, too" frenzy {...} ?

Today we're sharing our top pieces for creating a Spring Capsule Wardrobe more mindfully! {Nos amis francophones, cliquez sur le petit CC à droite pour les sous-titres.} – Chloe and I have been talking about our style icons. Not imitation but inspiration. Chloe is currently geeking out on Audrey Hepburn – graceful and classy. And I've been enjoying playing with a sort of half Katharine Hepburn, half Debbie Harry thing – elegant trousers meets rockstar. We've both been loving the pared down accessories – because we're continuing with this whole 33 item wardrobe thing – and practicality... easy flats, boots, and booties. And after having done our first #Project333, we've learned loads about what works and what doesn't with our bodies and lifestyles. So wait... why are we talking about clothes again? It may sound counterintuitive, but we actually encourage you to think less about them, by paring them down. We're reveling in this newfound freedom, ease, and fun, so we're hoping to inspire you, reader. ?We Love #Minimalism, We Love Capsules Now, just really quick... When starting a capsule, it's helpful to select your key pieces first. Choose pieces that you love, and that go with (almost) everything, and then from there, you can mindfully add in other pieces to match your base pieces. As such, today's video is all about our fave pieces that we're using to start build our capsules! xo Ann & Chloe ?Cover photo by the fabulous Katie Donnelly: http://bit.ly/2EDjhS4 #veganfashion Mentioned: ?

Today we show you a day in the life + a vegan Paris tour guided by the lovely Thomas Tieyre! {Nos amis francophones, cliquez sur le petit CC à droite pour les sous-titres.} Chloe and I love it when our Veggie Magnifique activities involve eating, cake, and especially being out and about in Paris and, above all, not being on the computer. Obviously we understand the importance of devices (after all you are reading this on one), but the challenge we, and so many others, face is how do we do what we do without becoming screen zombies... or wanting to chuck the whole kit and caboodle out the window. It's delicious outings like these -- with real people, treats, and leisurely strolls -- that recharge our human, real-life batteries, and remind us why we do what we do. Community and the love we have for a kind lifestyle that brings people together, saves the animals, our planet, and... our souls. We hope you enjoy this "day in the life" blog where Chloe and I eat our way through the 11th arrondissement with Thomas Tieyre of Vegan Culinary Tours. xo Ann & Chloe ?
