Years ago, when our family moved into our current house, I thought I had done a good job of getting rid of stuff so we wouldn’t be moving things unnecessarily. We had true friends that helped us move, and it was a huge effort, so I still feel grateful to everyone for giving up a Saturday to help us out.
But as the day wore on, I started to feel a little bit of shame for the amount of stuff we were moving.
That same weekend I read some stories from my family history about my ancestors that came to the U.S. in the mid-1800s with little more than the clothes on their back. I couldn’t help contemplating why the boxes from my bathroom alone were more than an entire family had to start a new life.
I still wrestle with this. My bathroom cabinets are filled with partially-used and long-forgotten hair and skincare products that I don’t necessarily use, but it seems wasteful to throw them away. When I do go through and get rid of things I’m pretty sure I won’t use, I feel terrible throwing away all the plastic containers.
Many of you have probably heard about Marie Kondo by now, and perhaps her tidy minimalist message resonates with you. Being a sentimental and emotional person raised by parents who lived through the depression, I have an inner conflict with her message. It might even make my chest tighten.
What if everything really does spark joy for me? I’m not dead inside - of course all this stuff sparks joy. But when I struggle to slam the bathroom cabinet door before the ensuing avalanche, I realize there might be some balance I could find.
There is a continuing trend toward minimalist beauty and hygiene routines, reducing the number of products and packaging used, and using products made with natural and organic ingredients. Consumers are becoming increasingly conscientious about what they put in and on their body, and how they might leave less of a footprint.
Social media “no makeup challenge” trends from mid-decade made way for minimalist skincare terms like “skip care”, “skin fasting”, and “skinimalist”. People all over the globe are looking at the products they use and asking themselves if it is necessary or of value.
Going natural and tidying up seem like great solutions to a lot of the noise and clutter in all aspects of our lives. But, it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start.
Lume’s got you covered with this easy start.
Dr. Shannon Klingman developed Lume Deodorant, Lume Deodorant Wipes, and Soaps to be compatible with the most sensitive skin. Our products are honest, simple, and straightforward. Lume creates high-quality products that have multiple uses and will last you a long time. One stick of deodorant will last about 3 ½ months!
Depending on how (and where) you use Lume Deodorant, Deodorant Wipes, and Soap, you could replace or get rid of:
You don’t need a different deodorant or deodorant wipe for all the different parts. You just need one that is safe and effective at controlling all odor. Use Lume Deodorant on your armpits, privates, feet, skin folds, and whatever else stinks. Same goes for Lume Deodorant Wipes: Use them anywhere you've got odor but wish you didn't–they really make staying fresh a breeze!
Lume is one great formula that works for ALL the people you know. Lume works for women, men, and even children. Dr. Klingman believes in honesty in marketing and, since Lume works for all, we don’t create separate packaging to target different groups.
If you are using your fingertips to apply Lume, you can even share a tube or a stick. So the next time you pack for a trip, just throw in one Lume tube, and the whole family is covered.
