RTM: Decluttering Clothes

Road To Minimalism: Decluttering Clothes

On my journey to minimalism I only want to have what I love and get use out of. When it comes to minimalism and clothing some people can find it daunting but it really isn't that hard if you break it down.

1. What is your style?
I personally like things to be functional, cute, and comfortable. I like athleisure, so it can double as something to wear to the gym or just give that type of vibe. I mostly like the fit of my clothes to be one piece tight and the other more loose. Like a fitted shirt and more loose sweatpants or a loose sweatshirt and fitted highwaist leggings or pants.


2. What I got rid of:
I gave away ill fitting clothes that were too baggy on me. I gave away clothes that I never wore because it didn't fit my lifestyle. I gave away clothes that were colors that didn't go with my theme/vibe. And of course I threw away clothes with holes or irreversibly stains or discoloration.


3. What I kept
I kept clothes that were blue, black, grey,  mauve, and olive green. I kept my cropped hoodies, t shirts, highwaist pants, workout gear, and functional outerwear.


4. What I learned
I learned that not every cute item looks good on my body shape. Even if something does look good on me, I may never wear it because I don't like a life that is accustomed to those types of clothes. I also learned that it is better to have clothes that go together than have one really nice piece that I couldn't make an outfit with the clothes that I already have.

Conclusion
Putting thought into the items you wear really makes a difference in improving your style. And knowing exactly what you have helps you know what you should and shouldn't buy. Also having a clear idea of what your style is helps when making outfits and buying clothes. But most of all having clothes that you love and are tailored to you and your style is better than having a shmorgishborg of random clothing.

Updated skincare routine | May 2024

Good morning, ladies! So last time I posted about the skin care routine it was BYOMA set that I found to see if I'd like the brand. Since then, I have gone to buy full size products, and this is what I have in my routine today. (I put this in order of how I use them) I start off with creamy jelly cleanser and tri-ceramide complex, licorice root, and green tea. It's a great gentle cleanser so it won't be able to take off all of your make up in the first go. It has a good lather and doesn't have any irritating fragrances. Next, I go in with the hydrating serum it also has the Tri-ceramide complex but with this one has squalene and glycerin in it. I like this one because it goes into the skin really easy and smooths on real quick. It makes this nice hydrating layer. I really love this specifically in the winter because it was just incredibly dry here in Colorado.  Onto the real moisturizing product, the moisturizing gel sunscreen it also has a tri-ceramide complex but t...

Running & Cardio | My Fitness Journey

-
Image
Running and cardio has become a very integral part of my fitness routine. I run three times a week and then use the Stairmaster at least once a week, usually. I used to be horrible at running. I used to be incredibly slow. When I first started, the goal was always to run 2 miles, but it was also to run 2 miles quickly. When I started, I would run two miles in 23 minutes and some change, but my goal was to run two miles in 18 minutes and 30 seconds. It took me two months to hard training and injuring myself, but I eventually got to do it. For years after that, I still hated running, but I still had to do it. It wasn't until I took matters into my own hands that I was able to get better.  For years, I was made to train in groups who led the training based on their own abilities and just assumed that everybody else would be able to do it. A lot of people got injured but eventually we all just kind of were released into the gym and made to train whatever we needed to train. And I was v...

Supplements | My Fitness Journey

-
Image
When I started my fitness journey, I would try supplements here and there, but I wouldn't stick to any of them. I wasn't really keen on why I would need them and what they were good for. I would try protein powders and not like the taste and the kinds that we had were not even the optimal for me. And when I would try pre work, I would try them just for fun. The flavors were okay enough to be like "I can take this", but I never added it into my routine until years later. The first supplement that I would stick to somewhat is protein powder because I knew that you needed to feed the muscle for it to grow. So, I would add that in to help when I wasn't eating enough. More years later when I had issues getting the energy and the motivation to workout, I would add in some pre-workouts and there are a couple ones that I've tried that I liked and then there's some that I really did not like. In the end I had to experiment a little to figure out what I liked, and I...
