About This Class
Learn how living with less can unlock a life of more—more energy, more savings, and more time to do the things you love!
As a recent grad on a tight budget, Erin Boyle furnished her first apartment through a mix of ingenuity, crafting, and making do without. She soon discovered that living simply was not only more affordable, but also more sustainable for her happiness and the environment.

About the Instructor
Erin Boyle is the writer and photographer behind Reading My Tea Leaves. She’s a minimalist with a penchant for a good story and a soft spot for an aged patina. Her approach to living simply is one that acknowledges that life isn’t always simple, but the curtains can be.
Past work in historic and cultural preservation informs her desire to cherish what is beautiful, useful, and meaningful. Time spent living in an apartment with a footprint of just 173 square feet taught her to reevaluate everything else.
Erin’s first book, Simple Matters, came out in January, 2016. It’s a nod to the growing consensus that living simply and purposefully is more sustainable not only for the environment, but for our own happiness and well-being, too.
Erin embraces the notion that “living small” is beneficial and accessible to us all—whether we’re renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house. Erin lives in New York City with her husband, James, and three children.

About The Instructor
Founder of goingzerowaste.com, author of 101 Ways to Go Zero Waste, and the spokesperson for plastic-free living for National Geographic, Kathryn Kellogg breaks down zero waste living into a super simple process with lots of positivity and love!
A breast cancer scare in her early 20’s prompted Kathryn to experiment with a more holistic lifestyle. This was the spark she needed to realize how intrinsically linked health and wellness of the self is to the health and the wellness of the planet.
Kathryn started her blog to help others improve their personal health, improve the health of the planet, and most importantly realize that their choices matter. Big or small, the changes we make as individuals add up to a huge positive impact.
