10 Things I

Don't Buy Anymore

Minimalism and zero waste share several core tenants, one of them being BUY LESS. So, I wanted to round up 10+ things that I don’t buy anymore.

How I Reduce Waste With What I Don't Buy

Instead of mindlessly consuming, I take time to make sure that I’m bringing items that I truly need or absolutely love and bring joy into my life.

What I Don't Buy Anymore

1. Plastic Water Bottles - Carry a reusable bottle. 2. Keurig Pods - Switch to reusable pods. 3. Pads And Tampons - Use a reusable option like a cup, cloth or Thinx underwear.
