  • The reason why you haven't seen a Fall/Winter 2018 Capsule Wardrobe from me is because I decided to buy only linen garments and eliminate all synthetic fabrics. . . . Linen is considered to be the world's strongest natural fiber. Pure 100% linen which is made from flax is... ▪️30% stronger than cotton keeps you cool in the summer and if layered unexpectedly warm in the winter ▪️hypoallergenic ▪️very breathable ▪️absorbs moisture easily and dries quickly ▪️uses less water and chemicals to manufacture ▪️gets softer with each wash ▪️very comfortable ▪️lasts 2-3 decades versus cotton lasting only 3-5 years . . . Although linen is the most environmentally friendly fabric out of the bunch in my opinion, this isn't the only reason I've decided to do this. It's the healing benefits of linen that's got me sold plus a few other reasons that I couldn't ignore. . . . Read more on minimalistbeauty.com! #capsulewardrobe #minimalistbeauty
  • 🕊 Sometimes you just have to indulge in something insanely delicious to remind yourself that everything is all good. This Açai Superfoods Bowl from @cafegratitude was the something I needed. 🕊 The selfless service that some of you mothers spoke of when I had my son has been weighing on me. I'm sure all mothers feel it differently. The whole point though is "selfless" service. I'm so grateful to learn how to fully serve another. Being stretched isn't always a great feeling, but it always has incredible pay off. 🕊 #minimalistbeautyeats
  • I've boasted the benefits of using henna for years on Minimalist Beauty. If you're going to color you hair, I believe that using organic henna is the BEST way to go. The damage I've experienced using traditional hair color in the past just isn't worth it. 🍂🍃🍂 Unlike traditional hair color full of toxic chemicals, organic henna strengthens your hair, and adds radiant shine while conditioning it. 🍂🍃🍂 Recently I shared 5 Tips For Coloring Hair Naturally With Henna on the @mountainroseherbs blog plus My Two Favorite Henna Recipes (one with henna + conditioning herbs and the other with henna + indigo). There are detailed instructions on how to use both recipes. Read more on minimalistbeauty.com! 🍂🍃🍂 #henna #naturalhair #naturalhaircolor #minimalistbeauty #mountainroseherbs
  • Sorry I've been seriously M.I.A. on Minimalist Beauty lately. I've literally just been trying to hold it down at home between the baby (now toddler), the blog, and my product line @iamazuha. It has been nonstop!!!!!.... in a good way. 🕊 I am so GRATEFUL for all of the support with my new business AZUHA and also hearing how it has been helping so many of you. The abundant positive reviews has been a blessing and so encouraging. 🕊 Please know I do have more goodies coming to the blog soon. In the meantime, please let me know what topics you've enjoyed the most on Minimalist Beauty below in the comments and what you might be interested in having more of. Big hugs and best wishes! 💞Dawn Michelle
  • You can never create a lasting memory around your search and purchase of material possessions. 🕊 I never thought the simple act of decluttering + intentional living could completely change EVERYTHING in my world, but it has. My home is much neater and cleaner even with a little one, and I've joyfully downsized my wardrobe and personal possessions more than I thought was possible. Yet these benefits are only superficial. 🕊 4 Amazing Lessons From Living Light 🕊 1. Happiness has everything to do with who is around you, not what is around you. 🕊 2. Internal values add more beauty to life than worldly values. 🕊 3. Time is irreplaceable. 🕊 4. Avoiding distractions at all costs improves the quality of life. 🕊 It takes self reflection and the true desire to make changes in how you do things every day to be intentional. Living intentionally is a cultivated gift you give to yourself. Read more on minimalistbeauty.com. 🕊 #livinglight #intentionalliving #minimalistbeauty
  • Before 300+ Items, Now A 10 Item Wardrobe 🕊 In order for me to go FROM DESPISING 300 items in my wardrobe TO LOVING a 10 Item Wardrobe, I had to analyze what I had, and BE WILLING TO LET GO of everything that I didn't love no matter how much it cost. 🕊 I know that beginning a capsule wardrobe can feel daunting at first. I never thought I would have such a small seasonal wardrobe. With time IT BECOMES EASIER, and you will figure out exactly what works for you and why. I LOVE having a 10 Item Wardrobe because it keeps life and laundry day simple. Plus getting dressed is easy and I enjoy my wardrobe. More on minimalistbeauty.com! 💞
  • So it's up! My Spring/Summer 2018 Capsule Wardrobe 👗 I always get so EXCITED when I can finally push "publish" on a new article for the blog. ✨ It's because my life is so different now and I literally live in toddler town. 👶🏽 I'm amazed when I can get anything non homemaking or @iamazuha related done. 🕊 There are two things different with this one compared to the rest... 1. #10itemwardrobe 2. It's #modest 🌸 How is your summer going? #capsulewardrobe #minimalistbeauty
  • Hey 🕊LOVES 🕊 I found this gem at The Discovery Shop (a consignment store which supports The American Cancer Society) a month ago and have been using it nonstop. I DESPERATELY needed something that didn't scream "MOM" 👶🏽, yet was large enough for my things and my son's. This one fit the bill including being a zero waste option. MAJOR SCORE!!! 🕊 OK, I know I've been M.I.A. on the blog, but I did need the break although it wasn't planned. I feel refreshed now and am almost finished with my S/S 2018 Capsule Wardrobe blog!!!! Yes we are well past spring 🌸and already in the midst of summer☀️, but what can you do? Regardless I've taken my time preparing this one and it has come together pretty well. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you. I'm hoping to have it up next week. 🕊 Have a great weekend beauties! 💞Dawn Michelle #zerowaste #capsulewardrobe #springsummer #simpleliving #minimalist #minimalistwardrobe #minimalistbeauty
