There's an important part of minimalism, that maybe we don't talk about enough: mindset. After about 10 years of minimalist living, the 'not buying things I don't need' part of it has become easier and easier for me. And I think it's because I've learned to want less. So in today's video, I share with you how this happened, and how to live with less consumption (and save money in the process).

Lots of love,
🌼 Vera
