After finishing The Crown (SO GOOD!), I decided to try Minimalism, "a documentary about the important things". It was created by two guys who left successful (but unfulfilling) careers, wrote a book, and went on tour.
I loved it.
I'd scrolled past it a million times, and have no idea why I didn't watch it earlier. I have A LOT of stuff, and I've been consistently trying to get rid of things I don't LOVE, dating back to (at least) August 15, 2010.
I was so inspired, I jumped out of bed and emptied a dresser that has always bugged me. (I bought it in New York and just couldn't find a place for it in this house.)
Turns out, I could not only get rid of the dresser, but also about 90% of the stuff in it. (YAY!)
The next day, though, I started thinking...
Can I justify running a retail business that sells STUFF, and support the concept of minimalism?
Yes!
The point isn't to just get rid of material possessions. Instead, it's about getting rid of the excess, the stuff we don't LOVE.
So, I'm trying to get products in the store that I think people will love - high quality, reasonably priced, and (as much as possible), products that are somehow sustainable, recycled, cruelty-free, environmentally friendly, or do something (anything!) good for the world and won't end up just taking up space.
So, keep an eye on lili as I continue to add new products, and check out The Minimalists if you need a little inspiration to clear out your excess stuff!
And if you have Netflix, watch The Crown and Stranger Things too!
SO GOOD!
