6 Things I No Longer Buy

Minimalism

“You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.”

-Vernon Howard; spiritual teacher, author, philosopher

There are 6 things I no longer buy. Living a simple and sustainable lifestyle has changed so much about the way I perceive everything. There is nothing wrong about buying things without thinking too much about it and certainly don’t judge anyone for living life in a way that feels right to them, but I had a realization that it was no longer for me.

I didn’t understand the level of excess in my life until I stripped it all away. When I feel particularly tempted to buy something that I don’t need, the one thought that always makes me pause is knowing that I don’t buy things with money, but with the hours of my life that I spend working for that money.

1.    TRENDY STUFF

I don’t waste money on super trend fashion. I buy practical clothes that don’t easily go out of style such as T-shirts and jeans. Know your style and stick with it.

2.   HAIR PRODUCTS

I no longer buy hair masks and other miracle hair products. I only use shampoo and conditioner as hair treatment.

3.   NAIL PRODUCTS

I stopped using nail polish last month as I no longer see any purpose using one. Farewell to nail polish, welcome gorgeous and healthy nails.

4.  THINGS THAT I CAN ONLY USE ONCE.

I love summer dresses but I just used it once. I stopped buying unless the purchase make sense for my needs.

5.    SUGARY DRINKS

They are harmful to our health how about fresh real fruits.

6.    SHOES

If your old shoes condition well why buy a new one.

In a world of wanting to have more, I am now trained to have less.
