  • This is my list of 20 things I don't rebuy or need. Over this past year I have been working on living with more intention and at a slower pace. Finding contentment in what I already have and joy in the small things.

    1. Besides not having the cost of buying paper towels and paper napkins, you also are not adding to the trash in the landfill.
    2. Wearing heels and pointed toe shoes will destroy your feet. You can be fashionable and still comfortable with thousands of other choices.
    3. When you cannot find a book at the library that you want, you can ask to do an inter-library loan. This is when your library requests that book from an entirely different library system, either in another county or state. The only rule is the book must have been published 12 months ago or longer.

    I would say you have a pretty nice system going for yourself. Just don't deprive yourself too much if you want to buy something. You live once so live your best life.

    I just love watching your videos, they are so inspiring :) I am new to the minimalist movement, and I am feeling so free, and I notice I typically wear the same things and switch them up every week, I am 46 years old, and I have been doing this all my life. I am also loving the savings that is happening and I love that my daughter is watching what I do so that she will be this way when she gets older. Please keep making videos :)

    Congratulations on over 5K subscribers! 🥳
    I don't want to know how many thousands I've spent on essential oils and diffusers that I rarely diffuse. I feel awful about how certain trees have become endangered due in part to that industry too. I haven't bought anything new in years and don't intend to buy more either. I've given away plenty and I'll try to give away more soon. They do oxidize and go off eventually so it's about time that I use them or lose them!

    • @minimalease
      @minimalease  Před 8 měsíci +2

      Thanks you so much 😍 yes, I am right there with you! I had good intentions buying the oils but now I never use them and they just stare at me and make me feel bad 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Tbh I think it's kind of a dick move to go to a book store (or any store for that matter) to browse what you like with the Intention to get it somewhere else anyway (be it borrowed or thrifted or whatever).
    No hate, maybe I'm pedantic. I found this video very infornative otherwise.

      To each their own what works for me won’t work for everyone. I don’t feel guilty about using Barnes and noble getting a hot chocolate here and there or a children’s book but browsing around adult books without buying

      @@minimalease Fair enough, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I usually buy my books at a small Local Shop that's been Here for Like 75 years and when you mentioned it I thought "If I was the owner of that Shop and I knew about people doing that, I would be mad", that's all.
      I wouldn't lose sleep over these big companies making a little less money though, so I agree.

    Excellent video! I do a lot of what you do and it works for me too👍 I don’t keep things that I don't need stored away in furniture or closets. I get rid rather than store. I think it's better to declutter than to buy furniture to store. During the past 3 yrs. I decluttered all areas and donated everything including a hutch and dresser😊 Smart getting your sweet daughter to create cards❤ I've never wanted to buy a diffuser and won't 😊 Rosie 👩‍🦳 74 🇨🇦
