Last year, I started reading some articles, and also did my own research about a certain movement. I knew the word “minimalism” was related to art and design. However, the minimalist lifestyle got my attention when I started to really understand it. The concept of living with less. It didn’t seem too appealing to me at first. I thought the term was related to wearing the same every day and not using any cosmetics at all, but I kept doing my research and ended up discovering that minimalism could be applied to every person in a different way. It’s true that in general, more minimal lifestyles deny excess and clutter.…
