ONE WEEK IN

It has been over a week since our family started our journey towards minimalism and sustainability.


What an eye opening journey it has been!


I have learned more about the impact of plastic on the earth and animals.
Check out "A Plastic Ocean" on Netflix. Heartbreaking!!

I realised that I have a spending habit that needed to be broken.
After going on a spending spree at Lush, I realised I couldn't keep buying new things because our journey is towards sustainability AND minimalism. This has led me to look around the house and use what we have. It means I am mixing and matching, but it also means that my wallet is happy and we aren't surrounded by more "stuff"!


I have become really good at using the food in my pantry and whipping things up from scratch. Sometimes they turn out kind of funny, but most times they are delish! It's been a fun creative outlet that I wasn't expecting!




I'm excited to share a bit more about what exactly we did to start our journey. That will be in a future blog post.
