This compilation is presented to help shine the spotlight on the selected posts, with the hope that you will take a look at them in case you missed any.



Outstanding Minimalist Blogs in no particular order.



Closed, yet walking the path awake


✨"I should say I’m 45. Life at this age isn’t lived the same way as when you’re 20. Lately, I’ve felt more alive, for instance, than I did 25 years ago. And I can picture you raising your eyebrows, waiting to hear what I’ll say next to back that up. It’s nothing extraordinary—it’s just that I’ve gathered a bit more wisdom, and I think that allows me to value and live life in its proper measure. One more thing: at 45, I’m also freer… and perhaps that’s why I feel more alive." @nanixxx


Versions of My Reality


✨"A simple, minimalist life, for me, would look like slower mornings. Not necessarily waking up at 5 a.m. to meditate (because, let’s be honest, I probably won’t), but mornings that don’t start with panic or rush. Maybe lighting a candle. Maybe journaling for 10 minutes. Maybe just sitting in silence and letting my thoughts settle before I open my phone. Or perhaps even opening my phone and doomscrolling for at least 10 minutes." @whatmidesays


My Minimalist Hair Resolution.


✨"Braids are exquisite and versatile, and I hold nothing against them. When made right, they offer convenience, protective styling and endless creative expressions. However, late last year, I made a resolution to carry my natural hair more proudly and frequently. By doing so, I stepped away from always masking my hair under braids." @wongi


Living Small is Living Big


✨"Everything else is a distraction. Spend too much time focusing on work and how much money you've got, and what happens to your marriage? The more we're married, the more we consider each other above all other things. I always think of that photograph of otters drifting in the water holding on to each other so they don't drift away, or at least that's how I anthromorphise it." @riverflows


Simplicity is its own kind of wealth


✨"Living a simple life reminds me that happiness doesn't come from having excessive material possessions but from being content with what we have.
And it is said that where a person's treasure is, is also where his heart will be, so if there are too many treasures, it becomes difficult for him to focus and he ends up being distracted. Also, it's difficult to keep up with everything he owns, the maintenance for them all and everything else." @madilyn02


A simple and minimalist life


✨"True crises bring change. They produce real transformations that make us reorient our lives, rethink our priorities, and even choose our environment more carefully. I feel like I had that crisis about 10 years ago, after my father's death and with the economic crisis in my country, Venezuela. Those experiences shook me to my core and made me search for better ways of living, lighter and less ostentatious, if I wanted to survive and not fall into a hole of hardship and sadness." @nancybriti1


Priorities of priorities in a simple life


✨" Without health, we cannot do many things, and being sick is one of the most complicated things there is. Because this is important to me, even though it is extremely difficult, if I may say so, I do my best to be mindful of what I eat, to be aware that my body needs movement, and my muscles need exercise. I feel that this is somewhat problematic for me, but I try hard." @jemima1996


Three purposes


✨"First, to live the rest of my life harmoniously and calmly. I put this purpose first because everything else depends on it to a large extent. I know it is a difficult priority to fulfil, especially in this hectic and unnecessarily complicated world we live in. However, even in an “unstable balance,” it is essential for me to feel that I am living in tune with myself. In this sense, embracing a daily life guided by what is essential, leaving aside the superficial and superfluous, is a fundamental conscious step." @josemalavem


Peace Over Pressure


✨"Living life one step at a time by enjoying the present and worrying less about the future is the third priority I’ve put in place, and honestly, this has especially helped this learning phase that I’m in. It doesn’t matter that I’ve been out of school for a while, yet still unemployed. I believe in my journey, and through the lessons of minimalism, I am enjoying the process so that by the time the results come in, I will soak myself in gratitude for persevering and living the moment." @storygoddess


What Is Essential for Living According to Albert Camus


✨"There is a rhythm inside The Minimalist community that reminds me of that clarity. We do not gather to preach scarcity, but to explore proportion. Each story there, each post, feels like a mirror of someone trying to live on purpose, without hiding behind appearances. I found myself reading about others who let go of things they once thought defined them and suddenly saw the same act of rebellion that Camus described. To resist the noise, to choose less, to make meaning from the ordinary, this is a quiet kind of revolt. Hive is not about showing off perfection but about showing the process of becoming lighter. " @chris-chris92


Peace Over Popularity


✨"This is what I'm chasing—to be financially free, to live off the troubles of finance. Not to be absurdly rich, though, just to have enough money to make my life easy. But then, I don't want to be announced with show-offs when the money comes; I want to continue living simply, just like the man I mentioned in the first paragraph. Living an extravagant life is not my culture." @kingsleyy


Minimalism as my peace keeper, love language and anchor.


✨"If there is anything I prioritise more, it is PEACE. A clear mind achieves its goals as though it were magic. Sometimes it's hard to maintain that peace because of distractions here and there. I tend to lose focus and then battle with both mental and physical clutter. I have learned that living simply frees me from possible clutter." @ginika

Some additional tips

🔸 The community encourages authors to engage and build rapport with other team members by leaving meaningful comments.

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

🔸 Just a reminder that the weekly #KISS Blog Ideas is presented with ideas on topics to write about and to help you to structure your blogs; they are not meant to be questionnaires for you to list information and publish.

🔸 The presentation of your blog goes a long way, and sharing aspects of your lives and your personal stories and experiences should be a lot more than a list that can be found in various places over the web.

🔸 You do not need to wait or only blog in response to the prompts provided. You're free to share any aspect of your minimalist lifestyle at any time.



Thank you for checking out the #MoreOrLessTheBest Curation Compilation presented by The Minimalist. This is the new official community account, where the weekly #KISS Blog Ideas and all community events and activities will be published.
I invite you all to get involved and share your stories about minimalism, and perhaps you would like to invite someone.
