What’s inside my bag?

Since I’m feeling a little bit disheartened the past days because I still have to work despite the current situation these days, with no signs of getting an off I supposed for the next two weeks (even with the news that starting tomorrow, 26.03.2020,  all the retails and industrial shops will be closed) or even shortened period of working hours at least, just wanna compensate myself to feel light-hearted by removing the stress and worries out of my heart/ pass the time by going through my bag (ha-ha!) and write this.

So, I opened and checked to see what’s inside my bag these days:

1. Labello cherry-shine lip gloss.

2. Maybelline clear smooth all in one BB cream- my daily foundation.

3. 4 different shades of Maybelline lipstick- a regular lipstick, super stay ink crayon, 2 sensational liquid matte which I used alternately.

4. Superstay powder foundation, (my daily face powder)

I love Maybelline products and I’ve always been a Maybelline user since the beginning as I do not like any other brand on my face.

5. Hand sanitizer- during this Covid-19 time, it is a must to have this on your bag.

6. Vicks inhaler- coz I always have allergies.

7. My Celine wallet.

8. My Sunnies specs- can’t work without the specs.

9. My super old hair comb.

10. A pen- always in the bag.

Not to mention that I have 2  surgical masks change every day as we need this for going in and out of the office and in the street, I got used to the masks btw, and couldn’t go out of the flat without wearing one.

There it is, at least I’ve consumed a few minutes of my time worry-ing less. 🙂

Minimalism- Be more with Less

Understanding the word “minimalism” only depends on how you apply this to your life. I, myself have this unique practice of minimalism according to my preference since I do have a lot of personal belongings at home like women stuff and I do buy things always in a pair in case I ran out of the other one.

I believe that if you are happy with your 1000 personal stuff and belongings and it makes your life better and served the purpose, then no need to get rid of them. It’s actually just a matter if you are no longer happy with these clutters and stress and consumerism, then you have to break free and get rid of the valueless stuff.

My Online Life: 

I practice minimalism in a way that I do not add random friends in any of my other social media like FB  and only those I personally know or at least having interaction with.

I don’t follow many people on IG, doesn’t even reached 100 (seriously) since I could always use the search tool if I want to check something or anyone. I do even remove some of my posts and photos whenever I get the feeling it’s way too much and crowded.

I tend to unfollow people on FB (but won’t remove them from my friends list) if they are super active I always find them on top of my newsfeed for no reason at all, (but hey, let me just remind you that I have nothing against that since it’s their prerogative but if their visibility started to annoy me, then I will simply unfollow, bitching inside, some people deserved to be unfollowed, haha), kidding.

My Real Life:

Getting rid of valueless stuff. I do de-cluttering on a regular basis to get rid of the things I don’t want anymore and donating these items on the donation boxes found everywhere on the streets here like clothes, shoes, bags that is still good and reusable.

I don’t buy things on impulse, not unless I can’t live without it, haha. I always think before I buy.

Be happy. Be content in everything you’ve got not to mention save and invest. This will definitely help you in the future.

Detaching my Personal life to my career life. Yeah, that may sound odd but it helps a lot. I go to work mainly with a purpose to work only. It may sound rude but this is the best way not to drag yourself with people who don’t have anything to do with your real life.

Having one partner in life, immediate family, few real good friends. What else do you need? 

This lifestyle requires a lot of responsibility and commitment. But with this, I get the privacy and the freedom I’ve always wanted in life.

Remember, fewer people, less stress, fewer things, more appreciation, simplified life, happier life!

There you go my simple ways of practicing Minimalism at it’s best. You may give it a try.
