Hi! I'm Lydia. I'm an 18 year old from the UK currently studying Marketing at university. I thought it would be a good idea to create a blog to gain some experience, and thus 'The Optimistic Minimalist' was born.

I've had a few blogs in the past, and in reality I've been blogging since I was about 14 (5 years now!), so it's not like I'm completely new to this, but my blogs were usually about fashion/beauty, but I've decided to change it up a bit and focus on lifestyle posts!

I decided to name my blog this because I wanted it to focus on positivity, productivity, and minimalistic lifestyle posts, as well as posts on student life and my experiences. A lot of blogs like this have helped me in the past, and were really useful and motivating for improving my overall day to day life, so I'm hoping I can do the same!

I hope you enjoy this blog! If you do, I'd love for you to leave a comment and let me know. :)
