I’m seeing more and more people talking about slowing down of late, but sometimes there seems to be some confusion around the difference between minimalism and simple living. In fact, for lots of people they are one and the same. Today I wanted to share my thoughts on what I find the differences to be, and why I lean more towards one than the other. I’d love to hear your thoughts as well!
As someone who talks about slowing down and simplifying a lot it might sound odd that there are things I want to do more of this year. But never fear, they are all still in the vein of having a more fulfilling, meaningful year. I’d love to hear about anything you want to add to your life in 2018 as well!

If you want to simplify your life then decluttering is so important. Here are 6 things not to do when decluttering that will help ensure it is a success! I’ve been on a gradual decluttering mission for quite a while now, so I’ve definitely learned the hard way on some of these things. Hopefully you don’t have to as well!
I’m not going to lie, I can be quite the people pleaser and as a result I don’t like feeling that I might be letting people down. This makes saying no to requests at times rather difficult for me, so it’s something I’ve been working on lately. Today I thought I would share some tips I’ve learned for saying no, and I’d love your thoughts as well!
