My minimalist vegan skincare.

Hi all. A couple of years ago I was obsessed with makeup and cosmetics, I had to try every single product in the market, spending thousands of Pounds  every month for products that didn´t work for me. I have a lot of cleansers and soaps open at the same time, wishing that any of them will make a miracle (I have had acne my whole life), I have tried million of moisturisers, not to mention I was the queen of toner, exfoliators that I never used, and a couple of mask that when bad or out of date before I managed to open them. A complete disaster, and my skin was really bad even thought I expended that money on all those products. Then I changed to a vegan lifestyle and let me tell you that my skin has improved a lot, not to mention I downsized the amount of products to the basics. Those are the only products that I use on a daily basis, all are vegan and organic. Pretty simple but so effective! My skin has never been so good before.  I always begin and finis...

Minimalist haul in London

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I went to London for a couple of days. I can say that London is one of my favourites cities in the world, I try to go several times a year. Is always fun, you always have something new to see, places that you have never visited before... And a lot of shops! We all know the deal. As London is such a special place for me, I always tried to gather something that will remind me that trip. A piece of jewelry, a decoration, toys, etc. As I go several times a year, I don´t need to tell you how many "memories" I have from all my trips. But this time was different. For the last year I have been trying to minimize my life and  my material staff as much as I can. I want to be a real minimalist, as I have found such a peace and relief since I started. Is being a long process and I still have a long journey ahead, but I am really proud of how I have achieved. So of course when I went to London this time I was really into visiting new places, goi...

Decluttering my life.

Hi All! While I am in bed recovering from a terrible throat infection, I decided to write about my favourite topic, decluttering and getting rid of things that at the end of the day, we don´t need. It`s been two years since I moved to a flat on my own, no more share houses, FINALLY!! My flat is pretty big, but I never felt that I had to fill it with a lot of furniture and decorations, when I moved in, I expended almost two months with just a mattress and a "table" I made with cardboard (the kitchen and the bathroom were already furnished). I was proud of my little home, but my friends and family differed. They started given me a lot of furniture and stuff. I was really grateful for that, it saved me a lot of money, but I reached a point that I was not happy with my flat. It was then, that coming out of nowhere, I started watching videos of minimalism. I am way far from being a minimalist myself, but I do enjoy and share the values of the "movement". I st...
