I Keep Finding More…Inspiration

by

As I continually clear out what I no longer need, use, or even want to have any more I am surprised that I keep finding more things.  My home is cleaner and clearer than it had ever been.   I have noticed that I have become more sensitive to clutter since joining the minimalist journey.  I also no longer desire to head toward the mall when stressed for “relief” or even search things to purchase online or on my way home from outings.  I don’t buy cosmetics or beauty products just to try something new anymore, because I love what I already have.

Another thing that I continue to find is more inspiration to continue on this path.  I’ve always loved the home that looks unlived in.  It probably has something to do with visiting model homes with my family on Sundays when I was young.  I usually went home and cleaned my room up immediately afterwards.  Maybe odd to some, but I’m starting to get why minimalism attracts me so much.

I’m loving the freedom that minimalism has created in my life.  No longer am I controlled by consumerism and I’m watching as this freedom has entered all areas of my life.  It is a wonderful feeling to be free!

  2. Hi Mark,
    The minimalist journey is truly a lifestyle. I think it is important to give yourself credit for what you have already accomplished even when there still is more to do. This is also a great reminder for myself, and I think it will continually help to fuel this process of creating a life of freedom.
    Best wishes,
    Dawn Michelle

your life as beauty from the inside out

  • I never thought I would actually say this but, I'm really enjoying the bare walls of our new apartment. After the stress and chaos of moving our family across the country, I've noticed that bare walls allow me space to think. 🌿 We're constantly bombarded with information, and some of it we create ourselves. It's all much more than I can comfortably handle. 🌿 Just sharing some thoughts on minimalism and decor on the blog today. Pictured is part of my son's creative space. Hope you're having a great week! 🌿 #simpleliving #minimalistbeauty #minimalistdecor
  • Moving is always challenging. No one is exempt. Our family of three (plus our dog) recently relocated from Los Angeles, California to Raleigh, North Carolina. We made a stop in Virginia to spend time with family as well as recoup from the first part of our move. We then planned what we could for our new location. 🕊 This entire move has been a true testimony of faith since I’ve only been to Raleigh once as a teen, and we chose our apartment online sight unseen. 🕊 More on minimalistbeauty.com #simpleliving #extrememinimalism 🕊 (FYI... @iamazuha is available again!)
  • We're currently selling and donating 95% of our things and relocating. 🕊What has surprised me more than anything else is when we decided to donate and sell practically everything, our possessions no longer had the same value to us. 🕊I'm extremely excited for this new beginning. 🕊Read more on minimalistbeauty.com. #minimalist #minimalistlifestyle #decluttering #newbeginnings 🕊(FYI... During this transition @iamAZUHA will be on a summer vacation for a few weeks beginning Wednesday June 19th. So if you need to restock on the AZUHA Red Raspberry Skin Elixir go for it.)
  • Yes I did it again. I was planning to grow it long, but things changed. I blame it on being a busy mom, but I've been eyeing this cut for a few years now. All the details on how I cut my own hair in a very simple way is up on Minimalist Beauty... Linen dress by @cottoncandy_by_romana #curlyhair #naturalhair #curlybob #linenlover #linendress

  • The first thing that dressing modestly does is free you from any and every body issue you may have had in the past. Today on the blog I'm sharing my modesty journey and how this spiritual conviction has been so freeing in many areas of my life. Now mind you, in the beginning I felt CRAZY. Thank God that part's over though. 🕊 Vintage linen dress @shopflax
  • Finally PLASTIC-FREE Packaging... 🕊When I first started my organic skin care line @iamazuha, I reused packaging materials instead of purchasing specific items to create less waste for my customers. I even reused left over plastic bubble wrap my husband had gotten from a moving neighbor. 🕊To make my company more sustainable, I'm now using as little plastic materials as possible. The AZUHA Red Raspberry Skin Elixir is already packaged in a recyclable and reusable glass bottle, and now will be wrapped in a beautiful high quality burlap bag with tissue paper instead of plastic bubble wrap. Although I'm still sealing the bottle with a plastic based tape, there may be a way to use a more environmentally sound material with that in the future as well. I've already been using paper tape and of course a recyclable box for shipping, yet look forward to creating even more environmental choices down the road. 💞Dawn Michelle
