What is in Jenny’s Purse
- TISSUES -For the ‘sniffles’
- PEN
- POST ITS-It’s easier to keep a couple post its versus a bulky mini-notebook
- CASH-I give myself a cash allowance this helps me stay within my budget and remain disciplined
- KEYS
- MINI-COMPACT
- GUM
- CARDS (driver’s license, library card, etc)
- HAND LOTION – my skin dries so easily in the winter time
- LIPSTICK/LIPGLOSS – I like to carry 2 different shades and 1 lipgloss to keep my lips moisturized against the cold bitter Chicago wind
- DIGITAL CAMERA (not in the picture) I love taking photos so that’s why I love bringing my camera along whenever I possibly can
I like using a smaller bag versus a larger bag because I end up ‘hoarding’ stuff with a larger bag.
A little about Jenny
Minimalism Defined is a blog about my writing regarding the minimalist lifestyle. I talk about how minimizing stuff can help maximize your life.
I have learned a lot in life and I share this information in my posts. My posts can be grouped into either of these categories : life, health, finances, and of course minimalism
Here are the reasons why I consider myself the authority on Life, Health, Finances and Minimalism:
LIFE – I am a survivor of sexual child abuse as well as a brutal rape in my 20’s. I coped with my traumatic past by using cognitive behavioral coping skills that have in essence saved my life.
FINANCES – We got my husband out of $40,000 worth of credit card debt. We now have zero credit card debt and no car payment to boot! Did I mention that we also have a rainy day cash reserve as well?
HEALTH – I’ve suffered with endometriosis and I’ve now been diagnosed with PTSD. I’m transitioning to a vegetarian and fish diet. This is hard to do especially if you have a Filipina mom who loves to cook beef and pork!
MINIMALISM – My husband calls me the “little bulldozer”. I have donated over 47 bags containing clothes, housewares, electronics and the such to Salvation Army and the Purple Heart. I have pared down all my clothes and can fit it into just ONE suitcase. This has made a ton of room in my home for the things that really matter which is spending quality time with my family and friends.
