Der Wunsch wäre dagewesen, alleine am Willen hat es offensichtlich gefehlt. Aus meinen zwei Low-Buy-Versuchen im Frühjahr und Sommer 2021 ist leider nicht viel geworden, mir fehlte fürs Durchhaltevermögen offensichtlich der Druck der großen Geste. Nun ja, hätte ich mir auch irgendwie denken können, war schließlich nicht das erste Mal, dass Vorsätze dieser Art mitten
As you may know by now, I'm a fan of grand gestures — at least when I have to start something new that might not be that easy for me. Back in early July, I wrote about wanting to start another Low Buy because I hadn’t reached my savings goal yet. Spoiler: Several months later
Ich weiß nicht, wie es bei euch so aussieht, aber in meiner kleinen Bubble ist Minimalismus Queen – und das schon seit mehr als drei Jahren. Angefangen mit ein bisschen Pinterest-Inspiration und ersten Buchrecherchen kam mein Einstieg dann mit Lina Jachmanns Einfach leben, ein wunderschönes Buch voller Anregungen für Verkleinerungen das Alltags in allen möglichen
I’ve written about my interest in minimalism because of my ADHD and also during my Low Buy Year, when I worked on my obsession with retail therapy. What started with an inspiring (German) book — Einfach Leben by Lina Jachmann — roughly three years ago grew to become an approach to life, at least in
I've already written about life after Low Buy, so we know by now that it didn’t always work out as I wanted it to. Though I spent more money than I hoped I would, I mostly stuck to my wishlist and didn’t escalate. However, there is room for improvement. Now being early July, the first
Nun ist es bereits März 2021 und ich habe es verabsäumt, mein Low-Buy-Abenteuer 2020 auch auf in der deutschen Version nochmal Revue passieren zu lassen – shame on me. Mein letztes deutschsprachiges Update stammt vom Sommer 2020 und ist damit schon mehr als eine Weile her. Da gilt es einiges aufzuholen. Denn mein Leben nach
I’m so sorry — I owe you Low Buy updates for November AND December. I was deep down the rabbit hole of PhD/thesis work for the last few weeks and days of 2020, so I didn’t find the time and energy to write a proper blog post. My first draft is now finished (more or
The last few weeks were definitely not good for blogging — I’m sorry. I had a lot going on and time was flying by. Besides, I felt sick, spending my spare time napping and reading instead of doing something productive because I felt exhausted a lot. But hey, it’s nearly mid-October and I’m finally coming
Mea culpa! I neglected this lovely little corner of my world for much too long… Time flew by the last few weeks and things got complicated on the way. Let’s just say that this Low Buy Summer did not go as planned. My Low Buy July July was a quiet month filled with preparations for
(Deutsche Version) So this month was not as quiet as I expected it to be. Living and ‘shopping’ under total lockdown until mid-month brought excellent results — I ordered two books online and, apart from that, all I/we bought were groceries and toiletries. Hence, my Low Buy April had huge potential. But spending so much
