Outstanding Minimalists Blogs in no particular order.
That Misunderstanding
✨"I understand the concept of minimalism enough to ignore them but for someone who doesn’t, this is where extreme minimalism stems from. From my point of view, people who take less is more too far are mostly those who don’t understand the concept of minimalism. There are “minimalists” who wear really old shoes and clothes, oh and even starve sometimes while they have money, all in the name of consuming less." @abenad
Just Another Unapologetic Minimalist.
✨"The worst of my consequences so far happened a few years ago, and it had to do with my oldest childhood friend. We schooled together and bonded well until I embraced minimalism. He is a social person, unlike me, but for the sake of what we shared, I always made sure I did things to make him happy, which included attending late-night parties." @george-dee
I go at my own pace
✨"When I do not sleep well I am a real prisoner of apathy that prevents me from carrying my day with joy and freedom. Ironically, when I am very tired I find it very difficult to sleep, I toss and turn in bed and far from falling asleep what I do is stress myself to the point that I feel like running away and when I finally get to sleep I start dreaming a lot of incoherent things. The truth is that I do not rest at all." @abisag
Nude Tones & Minimalist Vibes: Embracing Earthy Elegance!
✨"Every morning, I naturally gravitate towards neutral shades as I choose my outfit. They're effortless, timeless, and versatile. Whether at work or running errands, these tones make me feel put together without trying too hard. It's not about standing out but feeling at peace in my style.
At the office, I like to keep a few personal items that reflect this minimalist approach—a simple beige mug, a brown leather notebook, and a neutral-toned pen case. These small touches make my workspace feel more personal without adding clutter." @missellimac
The Line Between Minimalism, Restriction & Deprivation
✨"There are so many ways to choose minimalism. It can be in day-to-day life such as choosing to wear a monochromatic well-ironed outfit over an excessively patterned or textured cloth. Aside from the fact that this choice fits well into a minimalist’s personal preference, it is also a more functional wardrobe essential because styling monochromatic looks can be well suited for both formal and informal events, you don’t have to draw unnecessary attention plus the fact that you look like, “I dress how I want to be addressed, like a well put-together clean and easy person” …and that, I believe, is the essence of minimalism fashion." @whatmidesays
Partners to release negative emotions
✨"Unexpectedly, these kittens somehow brought me back to the present. As I stroked them I smiled sincerely, thinking that something so small can be part of something as big as the mind. After a while of just keeping me company, they started trying to play with me and convinced me. The idea that was holding me in its grip passed to the background and I could only think that everything is never as bad as we think it is." @jemima1996
Like A Bird
✨"I worry too much. And worry is like a rot eating into your mental, emotional and physical health. Worry is like faith but in a negative way. Worrying is like believing that things could go wrong, believing negatively without proof or evidence that things could go wrong. And fear is the constant companion of worry. I can't count how many times I have self-sabotaged because of worry. Quitting before even starting something because I worried I would fail at it. Cutting off emotional ties early because I worry that I would get heartbroken later." @terjix
Freedom through boundaries.
✨"Saying no to family is tough. Some people set boundaries effortlessly, but for me, it’s a constant battle. The guilt, the second-guessing, it makes me hesitate. But sometimes, saying no is the only way to protect yourself and gain freedom from unwanted responsibilities.
Recently, I had to ask my cousin's sister to leave my house. She was entitled, ungrateful, and unwilling to take responsibility for her life. I had spent months supporting her, hoping she’d change. Instead, she took my kindness for granted." @ginika
BEYOND THE MINIMALIST MYTH
✨"Sometimes, as minimalists we have to learn to be accommodating of people’s excesses because a little wrong action taken by you as an individual (one who practices minimalism) might cause someone to see every minimalist out there in the wrong way. Being a minimalist doesn’t stop us from giving help when needed. It doesn’t stop us from letting people into our space. I mean, if you want others to see the benefits of being a minimalist, you have to first draw them closer to yourself but always be open to them about things because they will do things that you won’t like." @hopestylist
Minimalism: Deep and no turning back
✨"Imagine if I am always looking for ways to buy a high-quality, long-lasting item rather than going for a flashy, easy-to-spoil alternative, and someone tells me I am overdoing it—does that make sense?
Last year, I wanted to buy a new pair of shoes, and the best decision I made was tagging along with a neighbour who shares the same minimalist lifestyle as I do. The plan was to spot a very original yet affordable pair. We moved from one boutique to another, but I couldn't find one within the price range I had in mind." @kingsleyy
