How are you? Hope everyone is in good health and conditions.
Since 2018, I’ve started my journey as minimalist. Now, at the end of 2025, I’m heading to back to a basic lifestyle, reducing expenses and living an optimum lifestyle.
I try to make something useful from every container, box, bottle and reuse it for other purposes. One of it was eggs container which I feel is very useful and filled my needs.
Living in a small home in town, had opened my eyes to cut some expenses, and I started from my groceries.
Making a seedling pot from eggs container 🪴
1. Cut into 2 for the normal eggs container and put the cover under the eggs container as per in the photo.2. Make a little hole on each of the bottom for the eggs container as per in the photo above. You can cut a little bit with a scissor/blade and use pencil/chopstick to make a small round hole.3. Put 2/3 of mixed soil into the container like this and put each of the containers with seeds, onions, and ginger (whatever you want). I’m using chilli, tomato, ginger, and garlic as these are normally I use for cooking.4. Then, cover the rest of the container with the same mixed soil and water it.5. This photo is after 5 days I’m watering it. As for now, I can see garlic and tomato started sprouting from the seeds. Can’t wait to see the rest soon 🥰❤️
If you have a landed property, it will be awesome for this activity. Please pray for me to have landed property soon, so I can make more diy project to recycle things I have at my home. 😇
Wollaa…what’s up, Everybody? It’s been ages I didn’t update my blog. Sorry guys, been really busy these days, weeks, months and about a year. haha!! 😃
Well Well Well, it’s just around the corner, we are about to enter year of 2024!! Hoho!! Time flies so fast…and now the world is ending…hurmmmm.
Well everyone, I’ve successfully managed to live a minimalist lifestyle for about at least 5 years, to be honest, I really love the lifestyle and bring a lot of positive vibes. especially when I stopped buying junk stuff, and selling my junk stuff. Keep my environment clean n tidy.
As for now, I have a new things to unlock, where I’m looking forward a place to settle down and built my own sustainability and zero waste house. Yes!!! U heard it correctly and clearly. I wanna built a family with sustainability and zero waste home. Then, I wanna have my own farm and a run a restaurant. But before hand, it required a loooooooOoooot of research, the risk and impact to each item I wanna unlock moving forward 2024 and onward. WeehoooOooo!!
Babe, to be honest..the minimalist lifestyle makes me having some extras, where I can proceed my future goal on the next level..which is..sustainability and zero waste. Hihihi!!!
So guys, stay tuned! Looking forward for sustainability and zero waste residential and restaurant for the new achievements. Insya Allah 🥰❤️🥰
Hello everyone!! Happy Awal Muharram to all Muslims out there. 🤗
Yesterday, I installed my new Bar Chair as I’m buying some little things for my 1st home. My tenant for past 7 years has moved out from the house. They said, they had been transferred to their hometown in Kedah. So, last Friday was the last day and they handed over the key to me.
I think it’s not a right time to sell the house yet, so I’m gonna rent it out with higher rental fee due to raises in OPR for the house loan. I did some calculation, to include all hidden charges like taxes, and maintenance, so I’m gonna have positive cash flow and not suffer later.
I will post out the make over for the house in next topic, supposely to go by today to measure the curtain and paint the furniture, but I fell sick and having terrible fever. Maybe in upcoming Saturday, if no plans.
So, this is the Bar Chair, and I really don’t know what the extra wood for. Some extra woodTadaaaa…I have my existing craft stuffs, jute, ribbon, burlap etcThis is the wood. it looks white coz the covered it with plastic. I really dunno why. hahaha. So, when I opened the plastic, it looks like this.I have random jutesome place ribbon n jute ribbon, I guess the name was 🤷♀️Fake pearl for decoration.Just newly bought this at RM 2.40 @ecoshop.
In the making of Aesthetic Wall Frame 😃🥰
1. First, we need to do the tassle. It’s super easy. Just wrap your finger multiple times, I did here using 3middle fingers with 10 loops. 2. After done, put a pencil like this, and tie the tassle. Make sure it won’t open. I did glue the tassle, so it will keep in the place. 3. Then, I’m testing out using which ribbon/jute for the frame. Nah, it’s not nice using same color and pattern for the rope.4. So, I’m ended up using the ribbon, with different colors (brown and cream) 😃😃😃5. I glued all the ribbon onto the wood, and measure it accordingly so all gonna look symmetry for both side. 6. Tada!!! this is the final product. I’m gonna print out some quotes and glued it here. In my house, I have most quotes rather than photos. hahahaha. I cant wait to go and do some touch up on the interior.
So, that’s all my mini diy project for now. I can’t wait to do the make over for the house and rearrange everything. I’m budgeting everything to be rm3k, including water heater, ac, TV, curtain etc.
Hola!!! cómo estás? How are you? Hope you are all in good health, insya Allah 🥰
Today, I wanna share with you, the changes on myself after being a minimalist since 2018, so here we go…
1. Starts love being at home more than outside – busy cooking, clothes laundering, room cleaning, organizing clothes etc
It started from the pandemic, when everyone been lockdown and be at home 24/7. I spend most of my time, cooking a nutritious food, spending time doing my laundry and folding my clothes right after dried, then straight keep it in my wardrobe. I also, found myself at home, busy wiping dust in my room, sweeping the floor and also maintaining my bedsheets, pillow etc. I’d found myself, always decluttering my wardrobe, until I have few empty hanger. Im really excited achieving this and I feel happy and self-content on this changes on me, for over 4 years being a Minimalist ❤🥰❤
Making a simple and nutritious big breakfast. I eat the fruit first, before others. So, stomach will full of fiber first as it’s good for digestion system.I became addicted to Cleaning and Organizing stuffs 😃
2. Earning some extra cash money – selling unused items to buy gold
Okay, another thing I sort of knowing Im align with Minimalist is that, I earn some cash money from decluttering my unused items!! 😃
Yes! You hear it right! Those unused items, I took pictures and sell in online. Hahaha!! Sound funny, but hey!! I got 1 gold ring with the accumulated money I sold!! So, those unused items, you may donate if you want, or just resell it!! Sell it with cheap price, coz in the end, you won’t use it too, and its kinda some sort of charity coz you sell it cheap. But, in return, I got 1 ring gold!!! Hahaha! I’m proud of it, Alhamdulillah 🥰
Some Betta Fish set that I no longer use. Total cost spend about RM 100++, but I sell it for RM 35, the guy asked for RM 30, I just accepted it. So, it’s somehow doing charity + get some money too 😃😃😃
3. Having more extra time, as reducing time in maintaining daily routine – laundry, wiping/cleaning room
Okay next thing is, I’m having more extra time for myself as my things had reduced for clean up. My weekly dirty clothes reducing too, as before being a Minimalist my weekly dirty clothes usually pile up full or more than 1 big basket. But now, I have not reach 1 normal basket for 1 week clothes. Then, washing and drying clothes time reduced as well because I don’t have much clothes to wash. Extra those time I have, I will spend by folding the dried clothes and put it into my wardrobe nicely. It looks nice in the wardrobe too, as less clothes need to be displayed and can put it into a proper hanger.
Im happy to see more hangers than clothes in my wardrobe 🥰
It was easy to maintain my room now, as more of stuffs are gone and only left empty floors. I love it so much, as it was easy for me to sweep and wipe my floor. Haha!! I did wipe my floors by hand, and Im not using mop 😃
I have more time to spend vacuuming my bed. Yes! I vacuum my mattress, quilt and pillow. Haha!! Surprisingly, there are some dust too, eventhough its under the bedsheet, and pillowsheet. So, it is recommended to either vacuum, or hang those under the sunlight 🥰
Vacuuming the mattress, quilt and pillow biweekly basis 😀
4. Having more space and my room looks cleaner most of time – in wardrobe and room
Yes, absolutely. When I let go most of my things, absolutely I will have more spaces. I love and admiring empty spaces more than spaces with lot of unwanted stuffs. I had once, stayed alone in my previous home, and when my parents came over, my mom always complaining that why my home is “Too Empty”? Hahaha. I enjoy less stuff most of the time coz it is easy for maintaining and cleaning job 😃🥰
A clean floor, if I have my own new house I will have a robot to keep it clean most of times. Little helper required 😍
5. I’m now addicted to Organizer – Organizer is More than my Stuff
I’m now addicted to Organizing Videos, Organizing trick and tips and busy organizing everything including my medicine, car, clothes and stocks.
Yes, this is absolutely time reducing to find things in my room. I don’t frequently changing my organization location, and I love to maintain my organization time by time. Meaning to say, I love maintaining my organizing stuff, especially my stocks such as Shampoo, Body Gel, Toothbrush, Toothpaste etc.
My beauty and cleaning stocks, I organized it into 2 boxes, and kept it in my wardrobe, on top shelf 😃Inside the wardrobe and on top of the shelf 🥰Another example, is my First Aid. I keep all medicine in this kit, so I no longer need to find plaster under drawer, oitment in wardrobe etc. Everything will be in this First Aid box. 🥰
Hye Everyone 😇 Happy Friyay, guys! Hope you are all in great vibes. 🥰
Today, Im gonna share how I combined both my hobbies into something new makeover. Hahahaha!!! Yes!! I’M DECLUTTERING WHILE MAKING DO IT YOURSELF PROJECT DECORATION!! 😆
Okay, first thing first, I need to get rid/declutter my previous business items like ribbon, sponge, burlap etc right. So, I was thinking. My dustbin is so dull, and it always flew away whenever there are heavy thrash inside because the dustbin is too light in weight.
So, I decided to make some DIY Project, to decorate my dustbin. Yay!!! 🥰
My Dustbin before the decoration 😕
All You Need to Have….
These are the items needed, plus Jute rope and emptybox. Missing in the photo 😌Tadaaa!!! After the decoration 😇
Let’s Do It! 🥰❤🥰
1. First of all, trace the bottom Dustbin onto the empty box like below picture 👇
2. Then, cut the lines. Glue the circle box with Burlap, and keep the Burlap 1 inch around the circle box to glue later.
3. Put the Jute rope onto the circle box and glued with glue gun. Then turn circle the jute rope and repeating the process until finished.
4. Glue the circle box onto the bottom of the Dustbin. Then, continue turn circle the jute until finished.
5. When the jute finished, I continue by taking out jute from bigger size. Hahaha..just using whatever I have 😉
6. Then, I glued the Burlap and Jute with Glue Gun. Kinda much I needed for the Glue Gun.
7. Then, I take out and open my new sponge for the ruffle. Haha 😃
8. For ribbon, I just simply cut n paste with Glue Gun. You can fold nicely, but I like easiest way and look neat 😃😜. Check this out 👇
9. After cut, paste, cut, paste and cut paste, the final product will be…..TaaaaDaaa 👇!! 🥰
Good afternoon everyone!! Its Thursday, guys!! 1 day to goo…before we meet weekend again!! Weehooo!!! 🥰
Well, I just want to share with you what are my hobbies as a minimalist, to feel content and keep clutters away in a better way. ❤
So, here we go…😉
1. Making A DIY project.
As I being a minimalist, my characters are slowly change. I spend most of my time sitting home, and maintaining my things at home. One of my fav things to do is, to redesign, and reuse existing things I have. I have Burlap, Ribbons, Wrapping papers, Sponges etc at home, from my previous business plan. Why am I buying these stuff? Well, I thought when pandemic happened, I will loose my job. However, it turn out that I got more job offers. Alhamdulillah 🥰, so I have never starts my business. So, here all are the stuff,s that I need to get rid by making a D.I.Y stuff ❤🥰❤
Before decorating my dustbin 😕After decorating my dustbin 🥰
2. Strolling the park.
Another what I like to do is strolling the park. I love nature so much, especially forest. It calms me when I have anxiety or problems. To go forest alone, is very risky. So, I choose to stroll the park whichever has little/mini forest nearby 🥰
I climbed up 3rd floor of the watch tower. Its so relaxing. Next time, Im gonna bring hot tea/black coffee with me 😃
3. Explore new recipe in kitchen.
I love exploring new recipes on internet. First trial, I will try the original recipes, then for 2nd and 3rd trial I will modify the recipes, and jot it down all the modification I made. 🥰 i love creating my very own recipes according to my own taste bud. ❤
I cut the dumpling’s skin into half, coz its too big. I cut into small bite sizes 😃🥰
4. Decluttering own room/space.
Well, this is like a ‘ritual routine’ for me 😅. Most of time, I will take a plastic bag and walk around the room, stand by if I can throw anything into it 😂. Clearing out my wardrobe, my workspace, my bathroom etc..and Im really enjoying it. I enjoy clearing my room, clean and tidy my space area 🥰.
Make up my bed every morning is my mandatory ‘ritual routine’ 😂
5. Sell off unwanted items.
Yes!!! This is sooo cool. Previously, I just throw every of my unwanted items. But now, thanks to my Mr Love, he suggested to sell it off. Since I started, I think in end october or early november, I made around RM250 of my unwanted items and plus ++ I cleared my space. Weeee!!!!~~ Its fabulous 🥰🥰🥰
Someone gonna pick these from my room. I have 3 aquarium 😂 another one to let it go..🥰
Okay guys, I think thats all for now. Im sharing with you what I usually do to declutter my things, and keep myself content ❤🥰
Hello Everyone! How are you? Hope you are sounds and safe. Covid 19 cases has increased in my country, so stay safe guys!
In this post, Im gonna share with you how I refurbish my organizer..check this out 😉
Last time, I had bought undergarment organizer. But, it doesn’t work on it purposes. So, I thought to check out to see what’s the cause and why it doesn’t serve it purpose as organizer.
So, here you go. This undergarment organizer I bought it online, but as you can see, it’s all smashed and not stand still. 😕
I rethink over and over again and remembered…hey!! I got some extra Burlap, Ribbon and variety sizes of Jute Rope 😃
Multiple sizes of Jute Rope I have. I bought for it DIY purposes, keep it for recycle, redesign, reuse items. Its time to use it now 🥰
Things you will need to have, to refurbish your organizer:
Glue gun with the refills
Jute Rope
Burlap
Ribbon
Scissor
So, I do take a closer look on it. The reason is, the base is not attaching makes it not a strong enough to stand still. So, I’m modifying it according to my own taste. Ha ha ha 😃
Firstly, I started glue the base to strengthen it. Glue gun was my best buddy in everything diy stuff I made 🥰
A weak base, is not attaching 😕So, the base needs to be glued with glue gun.Tada!!! This is my best buddy 🥰Arghhh…it looks hideous!! So I need to cover it up, to beautify it 😍🥰I cut the Burlap, according to the size. Then glue it on the net, to cover up the hideous looks 😃When completed the Burlap, I glue on top with Ribbon I have. In this pic, there is A gap between those Burlap. So, I just cover it up with cute Ribbon ❤🥰This will be the final product. Tadaaa!!~
That’s all for now. I still have another pending project, which is Coins Container 🥰
Hello!!! HellOoooooOoo…hello!! Everybody! How are you? Today, I got a lil time for myself..so I made some diy items.
My room is super duper dusty lately. I’d bought dust mite vacuum, but unfortunately the parcel was lost during shipping. I bought it again, and hoping it won’t lost again.
Because of my room sooo dusty, so I was thinking to cover up all my baskets. You really can’t see with your eyes the dust on fabric, but its there 🥲
So I do some research on how to diy it by using recycle things I have now – boxes.
Things you need to make this lid are:
1. Scissor or cutter
2. Glue gun
3. Marker pen.
4. Ruler.
5. Big empty box.
6. Wrapper paper.
7. 10mm jute – optional
DIY basket’s lid 😃🥰
1. Make a measurement of the existing box. Well, u can measure using the ruler, but I prefer easier way. Just put the basket like this on the box, then line it 😂
Cut the box, line it with pen.
2. Then, u make a straigh line with all points with thicker marker pen.
I make few points on the box, then straight it with ruler and thick marker pen.
3. Cut all the lines!! I cut it with blade first, then cut it with scissor because the box is soo thick 😀
Straight cut
4. After cut all the lines, I glue the lid with glue gun. U need to wait for quite some times before applying the glue, to ensure the glue is smooth, coz we want a smooth surface for the glue. Until, its liquid state, then only u apply it on the box. Or else, it will easily tearoff and not glue properly 🙂
Cut the lines, and glue all the edges, make a rectangle lid.
5. Once u can see the lid shape, wrap all way with wrapping paper. I prefer use whatever I have now. U can do ur own creativity to decor your box.
Glue all the wrapping paper using glue gun 😁
6. I glue it all the way. At the both ends of the box, there are some extra paper. So I fold it and glue nicely.
Cut it then glueMeasure first and make some fold. Then fold it into 2 like this..And…fold like this…i glue the end and glue it all the way…hahaha. Im glue here…glue there..glue here..glue there and glue all the way…haha..gluing while singing the song!! 😂
7. Tadaa!!! My box’s lid is DONE!!! Just a finish touch up to make it a smooth finished product, I glued jute rope at the edge of the box.
Glue gun all the wayyy…yeppie!!! 😆😆🥰Tadaaa!! Okay, u need a lot of patience when gluing this. U can’t do it fast, because it will smear or glue wont stick longer. U need to do it, slow and steady..then u will have a smooth nicely glued jute rope 🥰
8. ALL DONE!!! 😍 My basket is a flexi material. I can bend it to fit the lid 😂😂 Doesn’t fit? Just make it fit right there by force 😆
Jeng jeng!!! The finished product is here. Now dust can’t easily go into my things in that basket..hahahaha. Problem solved 😆
Hey everyone! What’s up? Hope you had a great weekend.
Today, I got a new plant for my mini-Aquarium. Yay!!! I bought 4 plants for my little bettas 🥰
Tada!!! Light off 🥰Tada!!! Light on 😘
So guys, I only kept my girls in the mini-Aquarium. Because the guys didn’t get along with the girls.
I’ve been thinking for quiet sometime, how to make the mini-Aquarium didn’t look so messy with the cutie’s food everywhere. Coz, I’m using the Oxygen pump, and it scattered the food everywhere.
So, I’ve looking at the thrown straw in the dustbin, then I’m thinking…shall I try to use it something similar to the floating pool noddle?
This has been thrown into the dustbin for few days…then suddenly the idea came..😇
Hey!!!!! I can use the straw do make it as floating pool noddle for my bettas!! 😃
DIY food feeder using straw 😃😁
1. You will need 2 straws. I’m using the small one, coz my aquarium is really small 😄2. Then, you pinch the bottom of the straw like this.3. At the pinched bottom, you do bent the end into 2 like this.4. Then, you put the bent bottom end, into the upper one. Something like this..tadaaa!!! 😃5. She’s curious about this floating pool…😅Here you go!!! They all know now..”Hey!! Its food!!” Yummy 🥰
