6 Things I do first in the Morning - Living Minimally

1. Open the windows and Tie the curtains. Its a lot better to feel the fresh air first thing in the morning and to let the light from the outside enter your room fully. 2. Drink a glass of water. It awakens your body and soul and your digestion. 3. Make your bed. A messy bed gets into your head. 4. Clear out your desk. It doesn't mean that you have to keep your bedside table/study table/work table empty but you have to organize your table by keeping your papers, pens, highlighters and others into their place. May it be inside an envelope or a folder and inside the pencil case. This is very easy to do but sometimes people think its complicated. If you mastered this, you save your suppose-to-be messy day! 5. Look around and put things into their places. Maybe you forgot to fold that sheets last night after changing. Maybe your pair of socks is everywhere. Maybe you forgot to hang your bathroom towel and that dress you wore yesterday because of too much tiredness. 6. Go out

BASIC BAGS - Living Minimally

Image
So I'm sharing with you my Minimalist Items, my Basic Bags. Years ago, I started collecting Ladies Bags only because of the idea of "I am now a Business Student. I need those bags for my Corporate Attire days!" Turns out I realized those bags will not last until I graduated. Five years after, I'm regretting the amount of money I spend on those purchases. Like they are Branded! Huhu. Now, I realize I ONLY NEED this 3 Items to save my everyday look. As you can see, I have this Black leather Backpack that I love the most. I use them when going to my review and its capacity and space just reminded me that I only need a few things to bring with me. If I was the old me, a Travel Backpack is what is best to bring because I have lot of things I would bring with me only to realize I didn't use much of them. I only bring a powder and lipstick instead of a pouch full of makeups to take up most of time retouching in the bathroom, a handpack of tissue and a small c

INBOX ZERO - Living Minimally

Image
So I am practicing the Inbox Zero for like 2 months now and I can say that it is so much well and organized than before. I only left those things I can hardly memorize or just in case, someone bluff me that they send me something I really don't know, I have a proof. It was not easy on the 1st month because I admit I'm a hoarder of sweet messages and memorable conversation with everyone in my social network but I had to let go. After then, I had realized that the most important things/events/memories remains within you. You don't have to read it again and again just to feel what you've felt once you read them. I can still feel them once I remembered them. And sometimes, deleting your old messages HEAL. Yes, some of them are from acquiantances,old friends and ex-lovers. I'd love to read those messages because I was hoping I could still rebuild the relationships. There were regrets and pains after reminiscing the exact moment I received them but once I decided to

My Minimalist Wallet and Coin Purse

Image
So over the years, I had an obsession with long wallets and coin purses. I have this urge to look for them whenever I'll go in a department store. Most of my travels includes purchasing a coin purse embedded the name of the region. Unknowingly, I already got a collection of wallets and coin purses in different colors and sizes. This is actually my self-challenge for the last 3 months - to NEVER Purchase one. It's really hard for me since I live in the city where all the malls and department stores are just nearby. I think it is the idea of having money that leads me into this purchases. At the moment, I keep this two with me. It's either I will have the coin purse or the wallet depending on my agenda for the day. They are so classy and neutral. My kind of taste that I already decluttered the colorful ones. It also fits my cards and bills and I usually flip my phone inside the wallet in between.

DEPRESSION - A SURVIVOR

I'm writing this after tears. I'm writing this inspired by Ms. Andii Rodriguez after watching her latest vid regarding mental health. No, I am not triggered by the vid. I AM A SURVIVOR. A survivor only few knows about this journey. I can count exactly 6 people who knows about this, only the trusted ones for its sensitivity and for my own privacy. Yes. I am the strong, independent and smart woman of today. And still on the process of accepting all my past insecurities, doubts and pain. Only few knows how a simple break-up triggers the foundation of my being to a total breakdown. It was in year 2015 when I finally admitted that I am suffering from depression. It was also in February 2017 where I get myself to a hospital due to severe bleeding and had my check up, only to found out I was sick. I lost all my control. It was like my life is that bricks in Jingga, one wrong pull and it all break down into pieces. And this blog was made intended to heal myself. To be
