The point of this article is to see what I’ve purchased versus what I’ve decluttered in the month. The ultimate goal is to see, if over time, I’m bringing more into my life than taking out. Also, if the things I do bring in are adding more value into my life in the long run since I’m documenting when it’s arriving.
Last month was very impressive with soooo things being removed from my life since I was moving. This month… Not as much.

This September wasn’t much of a month of pretend I care about minimalism or whatever. You may notice that most of the items that are coming into my life are pretty large and/or should last a long time. So I’m hoping you won’t be seeing me replacing or decluttering them anytime soon.
