I’m very excited to introduce a new series called Minimalism Myths! I take a common misconception or complaint about living a minimalist lifestyle and help you work through that myth. Think of these “minimalism myths” as obstacles on your path to living more intentional life with less. This week: Minimalists Hate Stuff.
Whether you are renting an apartment or own a house, your home should reflect the style and needs of the people living in it.

My husband and I lived in a small studio apartment for the first 10 years of our marriage. Most of the time I was happy with our little place. It didn’t cost a lot of money and it was easy to clean.

We’ve been told we need more – more stuff in our house, more commitments in our day, more things to remember – almost relentlessly. Minimalism has taught me to say “no” to more than just clutter! Which has given me the best benefit of minimalism – space.

I lived for Prime Day every year. I would hold off on purchasing new items just so I could buy them at a discount over a 48 hour period most likely in June or July. But in reality, I probably didn’t need these things. And an even harder truth is that most of these items aren’t really that much cheaper than they are normally. So what are the best deals this year for Prime Day?

Stings a little, doesn’t it?
But if you need feel like you need to browse through all the Prime Day deals, I’ll give you a few tips on how to do that without:
