Moving into a small Brooklyn apartment encouraged Boyle to examine her lifestyle, purchases, and priorities. The blogger behind Reading My Tea Leaves shares what she's learned about -decluttering, decorating, beauty, wardrobe, cleaning, cooking, and entertaining all with an eye toward purchasing and keeping essentials that are healthful to her family and the environment. The fewer than 100 color photographs focus on the details of her decor, yet what is visible shows light-filled interiors with pared-down furnishings. For each topic, Boyle provides a list to aid with the simplification steps, such as where to donate items, suggested beauty compounds, basic items for cooking needs, and recipes for self-made and natural cleaning products. VERDICT Boyle's accounts about how she achieved a -sustainable lifestyle will provide inspiration to those wishing to do the same. © Copyright 2016.
