a minimalist lifestyle -- where should I begin?
there are no steps/rules to follow if you want to become a minimalist.
to become a minimalist, i thought about the aspects of my life that i needed to declutter.
what i did from the beginning of my journey until now: accept minimalism and reject consumerism, clean my closet, make my own all-natural toiletries, change my diet, edit what's in my backpack, declutter my laptop and social media sites, digitise my life, clean every room from my bathroom to my kitchen, fix my desk, choose 150 items to own, and write about reflections on life (happiness, toxic friendships, anger, etc.)
if there's an aspect of your life you would like to read about for ideas, search for it below! (sidenote: i like to plan my posts ahead which is why some post titles don't have links yet. i decided to keep the post titles on this page so you know what to expect next!)

i switched to a more natural lifestyle to avoid spending on commercial products. after reading about all the terrible substances in toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc., i decided to make all of my own toiletries. my rule is "if you can't eat it, don't put it on your body"! if you want to know how to make the toiletries i make, my diy posts are for you!

as i was cleaning my itunes and spotify libraries, i decided to make playlists with the songs i wanted to keep. music is a significant part of my life and i enjoy sharing songs! that feeling you get when you hear an amazing new song? i want my playlists to give that feeling to anyone who listens to them. ☺
