Contest is... CLOSED.
It's been great fun having everyone spill their secrets. Alas, all good things must come to an end, which brings us to our winners' announcement. But before we get to that, a word from our other MINIMALIST initiatives.
#KISS (Keep It Simple & Smart)
Some of you may be familiar with our #KISS initiative. Each week, we encourage our wonderful minimalist community to share their thoughts on a specific prompt. We're big fans of the weekend, so we can guarantee a new #KISS every Saturday!
So if you enjoyed this little contest, why not continue to share your minimalist practice, journey, struggles and whatever else you've got on the subject through our latest #KISS?
It's got a few less rules than Cleanin' Out My Closet. Of course, no spam, only minimalist-related posts are welcome, and we do appreciate original photos and content that's a bit on the longer side.
You just need to make sure your first tag is #KISS, and you're in. Sounds neat, huh? So check back regularly, and you're sure to find a prompt that sparks your creativity.
Daily Weekly Theme
...Say what?!
A while back, we kicked off a Daily Minimalist Theme, focusing each day on a specific topic (i.e. mindfulness, travel, etc.). Well, we enjoyed those prompts so much that we decided to stretch them out a bit.
We still wanna hear all about your mindfulness, travel, your battles against waste and your transformative experiences. But with a twist. Instead of running them on a 24-hour basis, we've expanded our themes across an entire week.
This week, the theme is #WasteLessWednesday, and you can read all about it here. Take it as another invitation to get creative and have some fun, while also maybe sharing practical experience living life as a minimalist.
And now.
The Cleanin' Out My Closet Winners are...
First Place: WINNER NO. 1
This entry shot straight to our hearts. While we all have stuff we can't seem to get rid of, it's not always accompanied by such a powerful and long-lasting emotional backstory. Besides, don't we all feel a little tempted when we see a really nice notebook?

Second Place: WINNER No .2
Devices can be a particularly tricky territory in minimalism, as for many of us, they still signify something of great value. So we think twice about throwing old tech away and even then, as in the case of this entry, we sometimes just can't let go.

Third Place: WINNER NO. 3
We loved this one because who can resist a bit of leftover fabric? Besides, there really is nothing like those first steps towards honing a new skill.
