Outstanding Minimalists Blogs in no particular order.
Effortless Skincare.
✨"Growing up, I bet a lot of us didn't know the grammar skincare routine, but we did great with our skin. Many times, people have asked me the things I use for me skin and they think I am secretive when I say nothing. I really do not have the best of skin, but trust me when I say it's good except for the spots on my right hand courtesy of oil splashes when frying." @george-dee
SAVORING EACH MOMENT
✨"Well, I’m happy that I have the ability to accommodate people, if not for anything, I’d say I’m really mindful in that regards but then, lately I have been craving a lot more for my space, just me, myself and I." @hopestylist
Peacefully living, one day at a time.
✨"See, I had a very long history of overthinking things, carrying grudges for as long as I could, and crying from happenings that had changed my life in some negative ways. But Sarah Beth would say, “when your mind is wandering to the past or the future, remember you’re here now, and that’s where you should be”." @storygoddess
My Vicinity and I
✨"The environment I found myself in emphasized on this thing called “oppression,” where we’re constantly made to judge ourselves or think we aren’t doing well for ourselves, or think we’re not enough, because of a life that we can only view from our devices. A life that may not even be real. But we take to it as the truth about our ourselves, and let it shape every belief we have." @jhymi
Purposeful Packing
✨"I make sure everything in my bag has at least a reason to be there and most importantly could serve me more than one purpose. I always have three constant things in my traveling bag; my pair of palazzo pants and shoes and then my girlie essentials which are all neatly arranged in a little pouch." @abenad
What if water run out on earth?
✨"Humans barely take our dear Earth into consideration in the things we do or how we live our lives. We can help in any way we can to maintain the Earth by not allowing it to cry out due to excessive usage of its resources, as it is currently crying, and by making it clean." @kingsleyy
Essential Offloading
✨"There was no changing the past, so brooding over it was doing nothing but slowing me down. All along to me, the glass was half empty. It took embracing what I was graced to attain to fully be grateful and move on to even greater things." @olujay
Are All Minimalists Eco-conscious Individuals?
✨"I was trained to be very eco-conscious but my parents and tutors used the tag “etiquettes” or manners if Imay rather than eco-consciousness. Hence, I wouldn't say the environment was a major determinant in my decision to adopt the lifestyle of a minimalist; rather, the lifestyle has helped me improve on the way I view my environment." @wongi
UNPACKING THE WEIGHT: RETHINKING RESILIENCE
✨"This simple illustration has helped me understand better the importance of those little things and how to focus more on them before I get too comfortable with them and find it hard to know when to let go of them. I still have quite a lot of things I have to offload from my mind and I’m just going to keep doing that until I feel really light as I go on this journey." @hopestylist
Clutter To Clarity: Traded My Suitcase For A Backpack
✨"My mum will say, of course you'll need it there until you get there and realize you can actually buy to use there or can do without it. I didn't grow up with mum but from phone calls and our few Meetups about my travel plans, mum would always disagree with my cluttering habit." @merit.ahama

Some additional tips
🔸 The community encourages authors to engage and build rapport with other team members by leaving meaningful comments.
🔸 If possible we recommend that authors try to use original photos taken by you. Photos count toward the possibility of your post being curated.
🔸 Just a reminder that the weekly #KISS Blog Ideas is presented with ideas on topics to write about and to help you to structure your blogs, they are not meant to be questionnaires for you to list information and publish.
🔸 The presentation of your blog goes a long way and sharing aspects of your lives and your personal stories and experiences should be a lot more than a list that can be found in various places over the web.
🔸 You do not need to wait or only blog in response to the prompts provided. You're free to share any aspect of your minimalist lifestyle at any time.
