Word of the Week #minimalism

The new year is a great time to reassess our values, take stock of the previous year, make plans and set goals for the year coming up. In the spirit of being grateful for what we have this week's word is minimalism 

minimalism - the art of living with less

This blog will be dedicated to thrifting and thrift stores, but consuming less is as important, if not more so, than consuming consciously. Adopting a minimalist lifestyle is a great way to reduce the amount of things that are brought into your home and space. By reducing the amount of things in your home you are better able to appreciate the things you do have. Not only that, but you reduce the amount of trash that is sent to the landfill by way of packaging or when an object becomes broken. 

I challenge you to bring a little minimalism into your life this New Year. Go through your closet and home and find some things to donate to your local thrift store. Take it a step further and commit to not buying anything for a week, and then try the rest of the month.
