Minimalism and Simple Living

Minimalism or simple living is something I am passionate about and I apply in my daily life.

These may include, for example, reducing one's possessions or increasing self-sufficiency.

Anything from decluttering your home and mind and reducing shopping to the minimum to savouring the moment and the simple things in life.

Even more unsettling messages stare at me from the billboards and shop windows: “It’s the perfect gift for her”…
