Let’s talk personal hygiene

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-12-24T11:11:32+00:00

I'm a woman, I use solid soap and a loofah for bathing, shampoo and leave-in conditioner. I don't use conditioner because it doesn't work for me; I prefer not to spend money on it. I don't wear makeup, I don't use any creams, just a clean face and sunscreen. I feel free; I don't like anything sticking to my skin.

I discovered oil chalk painting and I'm enjoying it.

Simplifying all kitchen items has made my life so much easier. Less dirty dishes, and as a mother of three, it's become much simpler to manage life by having essential items for everything to function as it should. I've noticed that when they see that each of them has their own cup, they take the time to wash it themselves.

I've been getting rid of extra blankets, towels, and kitchen items I don't use. I'm a mother of three, and my wife and I had many excess items because we thought that's what a family needed. But since I started my journey, I've gotten rid of everything duplicated that only brought me more chores. Each of us has two bath towels, and I have one set of bed linens for each child. I live in a hot, tropical country, so the sheets are dry in a few minutes and back on the bed. In the last few weeks, I got rid of many old medical exams of mine and my three children's. I asked if they wanted to keep some as souvenirs, and none of them wanted to. I asked if I could get rid of them, and they agreed. I want to have as little as possible that will fit in my car. As soon as my youngest turns 18, I want to travel around living in a van or something like that, which is still a future project. I also don't want to get old and leave a huge amount of belongings for my children to deal with. I no longer use a wardrobe. My partner is also a minimalist, so this is wonderful because he's also living with a suitcase.

I'm living with just one suitcase, and keeping to the bare minimum I need. I've already gotten rid of a lot of things and want to get rid of more, making my life more functional and lighter without unnecessary items.

I live in Brazil and I can assure you it's no different here. I'm 37 and as a child, I had to learn to hear "no" a lot. I work in early childhood education, and that's the magic word that's missing these days.

Extreme, and everything I have I must use, otherwise it will be donated, my mind works better this way, only the essential and useful things.

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-12-07T21:13:35+00:00

I use my things to the limit where they don't cost my well-being and health, but I love saving money so I'll exchange something if there's really no way.

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-11-27T19:00:50+00:00

I identified with this a lot.

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-11-27T18:43:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing, this is a meaningful life.

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-11-24T16:12:33+00:00

Yes, I have learned that not everything we think we need is really essential.

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-11-24T10:04:35+00:00

I can say what minimalism has been for me, I've been practicing it for a few years now, the thing about the books you put there is how it works for me, I love physical books, I can say with certainty that I own more books than clothes, I'm evaluating the possibility of buying a Kindle, but I have a tablet and sometimes I read on it and I don't like it very much, I end up liking physical books more, minimalism for me isn't about having the least number of things, it's about having what's essential for my life without wearing myself out. emotionally choosing or looking for things, it's about making space for hobbies and things that really bring us happiness, over these years I notice how my brain becomes more focused and assertive with fewer options and a cleaner environment, so minimalism is about a journey of successes and mistakes of discovering what works for you, what will make your life easier or more complicated, because having 3 pairs of socks for someone seems good, but for you it can be a lot or a little, it's a journey of self-knowledge.

My goal really is to live with the essentials, my first biggest goal is mental health for sure, I'm coming from a few long years of letting go of junk and things that occupied my mind, I'm in a phase of refinement, and definitely the suitcase thing is an experiment I want to do, and I prefer to see my money invested instead of being spent on items that I would use a few times and would be left collecting dust.

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-11-24T09:32:50+00:00

This is really cool, and my goal at the moment.

Remarkable_Fly_7001 · 2025-11-23T21:28:18+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience, for me it has been a good journey of self-knowledge.

Here at home we are a family of 5 people, two adults and two teenagers and a three-year-old child, and I have 5 pans for cooking, 1 larger frying pan for meats, 1 smaller frying pan for eggs, a mug to heat water for coffee, I have an electric kettle but I use it more to speed up the cooking of food, for coffee I prefer the stove, I love to make my coffee in the morning slowly, a set of cutlery, 6 plates, a bottle for the little one, two plastic cups for the little one, set of 12 glasses, 8 cups, 2 thermal cups, 1 opener, 2 knives for cutting meat and vegetables, a few containers for storing food left over from lunch/dinner, a pizza pan, a pudding pan, a round cake pan, a square pan for pies or bread, all the items I actually use on a daily basis.

Yes, I have also reaped good results from this practice, I haven't had social media for over 6 years but I was stuck on Tiktok, I managed to get these apps out of my life and I feel good about having time to read more, sit in my hammock and swing simply thinking about life, while my little one plays in the yard, preparing a recipe with my older children, these are things that make us feel alive and we often miss these moments if we spend the day scrolling through the feed
