Living better, but with less
I’m ashamed. I let life get on top of me a little bit, I’ve updated my wardrobe and I haven’t cleared anything out. I’m now struggling to close drawers and find things in my heaving wardrobe. I honestly can’t believe I’ve let things get to this point. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been lacking in motivation…

One thing I really do not like spending money on is gift wrapping. Wrapping paper, ribbon, gift bags, gift tags, cards…you name it I don’t like spending money on those items. These are the items that in my opinion can be soooo overpriced, especially when sometimes (let’s be honest) the cost of cards and wrapping…

We recently went to Singapore and I did something totally and completely not minimalist. I bought four pairs of shoes. I know from the beginning of my journey I’ve always said that I’m a minimalist except for shoes but of all the shoes I bought reallyyyyy I only needed one pair. My sneakers have holes…

Anyway, I’m due to have some friends over shortly for a catch-up, however the house obviously needed a really good once over. During my clean, I attempted to tidy the cluster of…

Last night I went to a disco themed party and you know what that means – dressing up. A dress up party, depending on the theme, often involves having to purchase an item of clothing or an accessory in order to fit in with said theme, because let’s be honest and say that a lot…

I recently invited a group of friends over to my house for the first time. My partner and I immediately panicked when we realised what this actually meant. The house was a mess, clutter everywhere, stuff strewn across every surface etc. I know, I know…that’s not exactly minimalist which brings me to my main point.…

Seeing that I was the one who moved in with my boyfriend, it meant he was the one with the house and everything that went along with that including furniture, artwork and you guessed it, kitchen utensils. I’ve always struggled with using his can opener. I don’t know what it is about it but it’s…
