Outstanding Minimalist Blogs in no particular order.
Mindful, Simple & Sustainable.
✨"I opened up to my mentor, a minimalist who went through the process of letting go of the hate that was burning in me, and it was then that I experienced peace again. The type I last felt in 2009, and from that day, minimalism became a lifestyle. It taught me to focus on what truly matters, to be more intentional, creating space for meaningful experiences and growth." @george-dee
Making The Most From Little
✨"I’ve never been one to waste things especially when it comes to crocheting or sewing or even my daily life but ever since I got to know that for every mouth fed, there are three more mouths hungry, I’ve come to love making use of leftover foodstuff no matter how little they are.
I’m also beginning to realise that it’s been helping me gradually become very resourceful in the kitchen now. And oh, guess who can make bean fritters now? Me! (Leaps for joy)" @abenad
Mindful choices.
✨"I find time very precious because once it's gone, we can't retrieve it anymore, so I don't have any reason to waste it. If there is a way I can trim down my possessions further, I know that I am getting more time for myself in many ways. Cleaning my house, doing my laundry, picking my outfit, and other things I will do at home wouldn't be as time-demanding as they are." @lara-bee
S.O.S -All this is in my room 😱
✨"Undoubtedly, living with less has improved my existence in many aspects, especially emotionally. I have experienced a lot of tranquillity, and I do not feel pressured by any kind of trend or advertising; I simply keep my essence and my minimalist lifestyle. However, there are many things that I have not been able to let go of, not because I don't want to, but because they are not mine, and this makes me feel a weight in my head, especially when it makes it difficult for me to rest visually." @abisag
In Perspective...
✨"I’m not an outdoorsy person, so most of what I wear are indoor clothes, which I could easily own fewer of. But then I think of law events, court sessions, corporate meet-ups and compulsory dinners, and I’ve come to realise that unless I choose a different profession and career path, there’s no hope for me keeping as few clothes as I’d like. I could keep them simple, but not exactly less." @jhymi
THE 3 MUSKETEERS
✨"The second adjective that characterises my minimalist practices is CLUTTER-FREE. This is something I try not to overlook at any point. Sadly, I do sometimes, but interestingly, when I do that, I only choose by myself not to do so much because it slows me down mentally and even physically. So most times, no matter how tired and busy I am, I just find some time to create space around me and keep everything where it belongs." @hopestylist
Simple. Intentional. Peaceful
✨"I try not to burden myself with so much news, especially the bad ones. I know bad things always happen, but if we keep putting our heart into it, it becomes a burden. So I also try to keep it simple in that aspect. Also, I try not to pry or gossip about other people's affairs." @madilyn02
Life Saving Possessions
✨"Possessions are not always evil, as many thought. In fact, in some professions, some possessions are necessary for you to get clients and be entrusted with some projects. I remember how I discouraged my friend, an engineer not from getting a car sometime ago. He, however, enlightened me on the importance of possessing it. At that time, he was lobbying for a project from the state government. So, he told me no one with entrust you with a million naira project if he keeps hopping on bikes. They will just think, he's just a poor novice. I, however, saw reasons in what he was saying. " @ainajane
Material possessions aren't everything
✨"I believe that balance is the key, because we can cultivate our spiritual wealth without leaving aside certain normal needs that we human beings have to possess certain things. For example, I have always said that I really like video games, and that I would quite like to have consoles to play them, so do I stop thinking in a minimalist way?" @gabrieladifazio

🔸 If possible, we recommend that authors try to use original photos taken by them. Photos count toward the possibility of your post being curated.
