  • 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

  • ZERO WASTE With A Baby... Uhh Not Exactly 👶🏽 I’ve seriously struggled pursuing zero waste since my son was born. I'd actually been offered two speaking engagements to present my zero waste lifestyle at an expo and for video for a large online publication. I declined both offers. I didn't want to be a face of the zero waste lifestyle with a baby when I was having such a difficult time with it myself. 👶🏽 Caring for my son had to take precedence. I would continue as many zero waste practices possible such as shopping thrift and consignment and using my zero waste bath and body products. At the same time I had to become flexible about others.

  • So often when I am in line at the grocery store, I see mounds of plastic packaging or plastic bags around produce in shopping carts that will end up in the land fill before the week is over. Just by using reusuable produce bags, shopping loose produce, and taking advantage of the bulk section in your grocery store, you have completely eliminated unnecessary plastic food related trash. ----- This picture is from MOMS Grocery Store in Virginia when I was visiting my parents. I'm seeing more and more bulk options at stores even when I'm traveling. Shopping the bulk section has so many benefits. Let me share 5 with you. ----- 🍉 1. No marketing distractions 🥑 2. Only buy as much as you need 🍅 3. Only pay for the product, not packaging 🥐 4. You save money 🍇 5. You will eat so much healthier (as long as you aren't buying bulk candy). Now mind you I just posted a blog on zero waste while having a baby. The next pix will share a bit more. #zerowaste #minimalistbeauty

  • “Eat your fruits and juice your greens.” Dark leafy greens have gotten a huge push in the last decade plus for adding abundant nutrition for a healthy diet. The problem is you can always eat enough of them easily and sometimes too much cellulose can be difficult to digest. So juice them! 🍃 1. Vegetable juices contain much less sugar than fruit juices. 🍃 2. The nutrients in vegetables can be cooked out of them while juicing vegetables keeps them intact. 🍃 3. Juicing makes absorbing these nutrients so much easier for the body. 🍃 4. You can juice more vegetables than is possible to eat in one meal. 🍃 5. Vegetable juices are extremely alkaline which is incredible for balancing the body’s pH, fighting off disease, and relieving stress. 🍃 A simple recipe... 1 bunch of organic kale 8 medium organic carrots 4 organic apples 🍃 Always use organic fruits and vegetables when juicing and wash them well. Much love! #minimalistbeauty #juicing #beautyfromtheinsideout
