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.

A Whole Day with Buddhists...

✨"For the first time in months, I felt no pressure to justify my presence. That absence of performance startled me. I saw how often I flood rooms with words just to prove my existence. In that circle, stripped of chatter, I felt uncovered and relieved at once, as if someone had lifted the mask out of my hands." @chris-chris92

He who grasps at too much loses everything.

✨"There is a saying that goes, ‘He who grasps at too much loses everything.’ I used to think that this phrase didn't make much sense. I believed that the more things I did, the better my life would be and the more successful I would be. With this belief, I chose a degree programme that had many subjects and trades, but as such, there was no specific branch for me to specialise in. So I learned without delving deeply into the many trades of vocational education." @liyuxiexie

PIMP MY STYLE

✨"While this particular bag cost me more than the others, I was really happy with the purchase because it is a bag that will last me for a really long time, and besides that, it has improved my overall style of clothing. I still wear my old clothes, but the touch of this handbag changes everything. It makes me look more feminine and classy, no matter the dress I’m wearing." @hopestylist

How easy it is!

✨"Countless times, we are advised against careless digestion of social media’s contents, and I’ve always had that in the recesses of my mind while scrolling. I didn’t even realise the toxicity laced in her opinions early enough till it became so glaring that literally everything she talked about now revolved around the same topic she talked about decentering earlier. The irony!" @oluchi31

A Minimalist’s Wardrobe Story.

✨"In my wardrobe today, you’ll find trousers of three plain colours jean and palazzo alike with multiple tops I use to pair with them, casual joggers, and hoodies because this is very comfortable for me, few corporate wears in case I need to attend corporate events, and outfits I can wear to parties where there are no requirements for a uniform style." @storygoddess

Basics: comfortable and versatile

✨"Since I was very young, I have liked fashion, and there was a time when I would buy according to trends. But today, far from that consumerist mindset, I prefer to buy and wear garments that last more than one season or month, of good quality, and also ones that make me feel comfortable and are not truly problematic to wear. Sometimes, I even prefer quality over quantity, even if quality means paying a few extra dollars." @nancybriti1

May life fit into a couple of suitcases, and freedom

✨"Something wonderful that I am fortunate to have is a life partner who sees the most important things the same way I do. This has allowed us to share many of our goals and set new ones together, and we both feel happy and satisfied with them. One of the things we agree on, which has saved us from awkward situations and other problems, is our relationship with material things (in general) and freedom." @

Laid Back

✨"I was the girl who would have a romance or crime or mystery novel in hand up until the very night of a school exam, and on some exam's eve, I’d read for 40 minutes, and go back to my novel for another two hours, but I was always among the top five best students in class. So, yeah, academically and otherwise, I’ve just managed to scale through, most likely because of genetics, but that’s about it." @jhymi

Pay attention to the details 🧐🥰

✨"The minimalist lifestyle also helps me pay attention to the details of my life so I can enjoy the good things, which are usually the smallest, and manage my emotions when I'm going through difficult times, to balance myself as quickly as possible and resolve to have more. The minimalist lifestyle trains you and gives you tools to be happy in a chaotic world." @abisag

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.
