Take a walk on the minimal side of life.
To say that life has slowed down during the pandemic might be the understatement of the year. But, having gotten used to the past few months, we’ve found ourselves embracing a less hectic pace of life. Turns out, this has been the perfect opportunity for us to reevaluate our priorities, declutter our lives and move towards a more minimalist lifestyle.
Wanna give it a go? Here are some seriously easy tips you can use, even if you’re about as organised as a magpie with a penchant for collecting. Plus, our favourite minimal finds from Muji are now on sale till 9 September 2020, so we’ve included our picks below – it’s easy to make minimalism a part of your everyday life when Muji has all the essentials you need!
Stick to no-frills skincare
We do love testing new skincare finds, but we’re also fans of a pared-down skincare routine that doesn’t take an hour. For a minimalist lifestyle, sticking to a cleanse, tone and moisturise routine is your best bet. (Just add SPF in the mornings!) And now, Muji’s skincare series (10% off) has everything going at a discount – so snag what you need, stat.
Invest in must-have basics
If a capsule wardrobe is your goal, ditch the seasonal trends and keep those wear-with-everything basics. Haven’t gotten your staple pieces yet? Muji’s latest sale has got you covered. We think cotton is the ideal fabric for staying cool in the tropical heat, so the Xinjiang Cotton Washed Oxford Shirt (10% off, U.P. $29 – $39) is going into our cart. For guys, we’d say the classic polo t-shirt (20% off, U.P. $29 – $39) is an essential that’ll keep you looking dapper even for those last-minute video calls. You can also grab a new pair of room slippers (20% off, U.P. $9.90 – $19.90) in the sale!
Keep to functional home essentials
Because we can’t talk about a minimalist lifestyle without bringing up decluttering, we’re glad to see home organising essentials in the sale. We’re eyeing the stackable modular file boxes (any two for 10% off) that can store anything from paperwork to random knick knacks – perfect for decluttering the home office. Another functional pick for our WFH sitch: the low noise USB desk fan ($35/ $45, U.P. $39/ $49), a godsend for sweltering days.
Fuel up with wholesome eats
Natural, nutritious meals don’t have to come with a hefty price tag – or an arduous prep time. Our tip? Just chop, cook and douse your ingredients with Muji’s instant curry. It’s so easy, even amateur home chefs can make it. If you’re a meal prep fan, get some sealing containers (10% off, U.P. $7.90 – $33.00) to store your meals. Alternatively, leave it to the experts and order a healthy deli set ($12.80, U.P. $14.80) from Café&Meal Muji. You can also order your fave dishes via Capita3Eats (available till 9 September 2020)!
