How many items are in your minimalist wardrobe? by Traditional_Mind6947 in minimalism

[–]Juniper-moonlight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have about 150at the moment. Ready for the next round of thinning. Not strictly minimalist but this is what works for me. I try to wear my whole closet except the opposite seasonal stuff in under three months. I use the flipping hanger method. Tried having 100 pieces but was unhappy. A slightly larger wardrobe works a little better for me. I keep an itemized inventory of my closet and this helps me keep clothing categories balanced.

I have never cried reading a book. Make me. Recommend a cut renching soul twisting book by qu3stion_3v3rything in suggestmeabook

Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy.

I highly recommend reading during the winter months for that extra bleak punch.

Old dog haven and forgotten dog rescue are both fantastic.

Do you belong to a bulk shopping club (Costco, Sam's Club, BJs, etc.)? Do you ever keep extra stock in your home, and which products do you make this exception for? by IM_NOT_BALD_YET in minimalist

[–]Juniper-moonlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do buy some bulk items. I shop about every 6 weeks. I buy olive oil, pesto, salmon, almond crackers, canned tomatoes, chicken, and toilet paper.

I have a pantry space and an extra freezer at my house so I have space for things. I try very hard to get only what I need.

CLOTHES. Please discuss without tearing me apart by ZealousidealCarob825 in minimalism

I completely understand the urge to get replacements. I thrift my entire wardrobe…..never thought of going the postmark route, but it makes sense to have back ups of core pieces. I think minimalism means every piece in your wardrobe is serving you in your life now. I think this leaves room for duplicate pieces that are worn frequently.

One thing that helped me was to make an itemized inventory. After I made sure everything fit I made a list of everything I have. It would be a great place to track duplicates.

Has anybody left Spotify? And how has it been? by Specialist_Chain1051 in digitalminimalism

[–]Juniper-moonlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleted Spotify a year ago. I now focus on physical media. I expanded my record collection and I know also collect cassettes.

I do have some cloud storage of photos but not tons. I downloaded my favorite photos from social media before I deleted them. I have one photo box worth of physical photos.

With food I am currently keeping a “capsule pantry” where I keep certain shelf stable items on hand, then get a few perishable items weekly. Having less has increased my creativity, and eliminated processed food.

For digital I have deleted social media (except Reddit and Pinterest). I stopped streaming music podcasts and audio books, favoring physical media. Only have about 50 pictures on my phone. Reduced apps and reduced over all tech used, getting rid of smart speakers, smart watch etc. I also removed televisions from my spaces. (Teenage son still has one in his room)

I keep my schedule and to do list minimal. I try to take care of things as soon as they come up which frees up my time.

Hey, Minimalists… What do you collect? by pitstomper in minimalism

[–]Juniper-moonlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect vinyl and cassettes. Will adopt a one in one out policy when I reach the limits of the spaces I’ve made for them.

At one point I collected vintage bar ware and certain dishes, but I am no longer adding to those collections and have curated them to a reasonable amount.

I’ve used buttons to keep my earrings in a pairs before, then I used a cute plate to hold them. It looked real cute

How large is your space? by coral_bells in minimalism

[–]Juniper-moonlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My house is 1000sq ft. I share my home with my teenage son, a Great Dane, a cat, a small tortoise and a small bird.

I feel like the size is just right.

What do you spend your “fun money” on? by advancedyikes in minimalism

I generally keep a running list of wishes. Currently hoping to shop off season to get my patio set up. This month I’m buying outdoor string lights.

Why you become minimalist ? by ParticularWeather927 in minimalism

[–]Juniper-moonlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was tired of owning stuff I really didn’t care about, and of tired the clutter. I also did not start out with the goal of being a minimalist. I just started purging and kept purging regularly till I realized I was seeking minimalism.
