I have enough. This is my wardrobe. I find it useful to have a poster and combine outfits with it

We can’t let people’s words or actions affect our moods. Yes, we habitually feel it, it’s ingrained in our body, But we can’t let it Control Us, either Let it go or Feel It Fully, until it disappears

routine skincare TRES minimaliste

Je voulais savoir si j'étais la seule à avoir VRAIMENT une routine skincare tres tres minimaliste??

Pour commencer, petite description de ma peau:

  • j'ai 33 ans
  • peau grasse. Je parle vraiment d'une vraie peau grasse qui luit partout et meme sur le haut de mon dos et décolleté.
  • j'ai plusieurs problematiques de peau dont: peau deshydratée, peau tres sensible et reactive, peau a imperfections avec boutons parfois + point noirs et tout le tralala de la peau style acnéique.

Donc, voici ma routine:

Le matin:

... Rien du tout. Je ne nettoie pas mon visage, ni ne le passe sous l'eau, ni creme hydratante.. RIEN. Oui je sais cela a l'air incroyablement fou. Mais ma peau a besoin de ses huiles. Cela la protege car j'ai une peau sensible. Et j'aime en fait avoir cette peau grasse car justement je me sens protegé et je n'ai encore pas une seule ride ou truc de vieillissement cutané en raison de ma peau grasse.

Le soir:

  • SI UNIQUEMENT je me suis mis une legere bb creme (le teint creme la roche posay) alors je vais commencer par me démaquiller avec l'huile démaquillante skin prep du laboratoire filorga.

  • nettoyant doux avene la lotion gélifié tolérance pour peaux sensible et réactive.

  • 1 fois semaine maximum, lotion exfoliante bio flash de karine joncas.

  • ma creme hydratante le gel creme reparateur cica daily d'uriage pour peau déshydraté. c'est une creme legere parfaite pour les peaux grasse déshydraté avec plein d'actif comme l'acide hyaluronique entre autres.

  • Je n'utilise aucun sérum. Avant j'utilisais le sérum uriage mais ce sont les memes actifs que ma creme donc c'est inutile. Sinon, je ne prend aucun retinol ou vitamine c ou creme contour yeux ou whenever car je n'ai juste pas de signe de vieillissement (merci peau grasse).

Je n'ai jamais pris soin de ma peau. Je viens de commencer il y a 3 semaines tout ces produits. Et c'est magique ce qu'est devenu ma peau en juste 3 semaines.

LESS IS MORE.

Receiving gifts that are what the gifter wanted.

Idk if its because I’ve entered a minimalist mind set but has anyone opened a gift from someone and its kinda felt like: when they purchased it “for you” you could see them in the store kinda just impulsively adding on the little kick knacks, or gizmos. So then it feels like those gifts are something they actually thought was cool in the moment but couldn’t justify buying it for themselves so they justified the purchase by saying its for me. I’m definitely guilty of having done this myself before becoming minimalist and even during at times and i’m trying not to be like that, it’s just an interesting experience I’ve picked up on the past few years, and wondering if others relate?

My minimalist bedroom - Need advice

Hi everyone, so this is my bedroom, and I want to improve it without making it look overcrowded. My room is extremely small. I have a small window so no sun light access. I don’t want to add any artwork above the bed or remove any piece of furniture. What are your suggestions?

How many items do you think you own?

From clothes, to kitchen wear (not food) to skin care products.

I know theres no correct number for anyone but I’m curious to see what the average number would be, i’m trying to gauge how reasonable my end of year goal might be.

How many dresses is it normal to have?

For party and formal occasions. I have 2, 1 I bought in 2010 in cotton (doesn’t feel like a party dress actually) and one I bought 2 yrs ago that is silver metallic.

Being a minimalist is very boring sometimes. Others coming in new dresses every year (not everyone). Im not attending parties that much and I can wear a nice pant and top as well. But when a formal party suddenly happen I stress look for dresses so Im just looking now. Its hard actually to find the one I really like.

How to deal with and stop unwanted holiday gifts?

Hi everyone. To some I will sound like a Scrooge but I think this crowd will empathize.

Post-Christmas tends to make me feel yucky as I look at all the unnecessary, cheap and unwanted objects I received from people who probably felt obligated to get me something. I am very grateful that people spent money on me and took the time to wrap a gift, but I am actively trying to avoid accumulating objects and live a sustainable lifestyle. Usually I don’t want to keep >75% of the gifts I receive.

My birthday is coming up in 2 months. For all future birthdays and Christmases I’d like to send some sort of message to my immediate and extended family, but I’m not sure how to best do this.

So, several questions:

  1. Have you set boundaries with extended and immediate family on gift-giving? What are they, if so?
  2. How do you deal with unwanted objects? Do you donate or regift? Any specific method?
  3. Do you suggest alternate options to physical object gifts? I.e., I was thinking to tell people to donate to a given charity or something.

Minimalist parents: How do you handle toy clutter/waste as your kids grow?

I’ve been exploring ways to help reduce the clutter and waste that comes with kids’ toys, especially during the early years when they outgrow them so quickly.

Do you find it difficult to maintain a minimalist home with young children?

How do you approach toys in a way that aligns with minimalism?

Would you consider a service that helps reduce toy clutter while also being sustainable and cost-effective?

I’m in the early stages of developing a project to address this issue and would love to hear from minimalist parents about their experiences and perspectives!
