Choosing & Using

Being a minimalist is all about choosing & using. It's a concept that was new to me. Only buy when your certain about and will use. So in the process of minimalizing my belongings I should choose too. One of my biggest handicap is skin care. I have so many creme's and bottles with fluids. So one weekend I took out my daily skin box.

Be cation because most skin product are quite expensive and it's no fun to be trowing away money. That's why I love samples. Whenever I go in the store and I see sample of a product that I might use, I pick up 3 to 5 of those sachets. You may think that a sample is just for one time usage but to see or feel the result it takes more than one time appliance.

What is a little bit a shame is that there is less free samples in the store. Whenever a new product launch like the new schwazkopf shampoo there was just one store that offers free samples. Seriously, try before you buy. I mean that new shampoo cost about €4,50 and I find that a lot.

Now back to my skin box. I have a aloe gel and a vitamin E for under my eyes. I love them both but two is just to much. I needed to decide about which one to sacrifice. Luckily both bottles has been used and the price was reasonable. But I decided to let go of the aloe gel because at home I have real fresh aloe plant. This was an easy job. Goodbye aloe gel and it's a pleasure to keep you in the box vitamin E.
