🌱 Get more videos & support my work: https://www.patreon.com/SimpleHappyZen As a minimalist, I try to be intentional about my purchases. So I made a list of 20 things I'm not buying this spring and summer season (+1 bonus item). Using a no-buy list can be a great exercise to be more mindful and intentional with our purchases, so we can simplify our home, our life and our spending. Plus, it's kinda fun. 😄 Enjoy!
