Ok, I love that you are a no nonsense girl. You’re confident. You’re straight into the video; you value your time and everyone else’s. Great video!
ETA: Milo is so cute in the background ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙌🏼🤍
Hi Kyra, these kinds of videos are so fun to watch and a great reminder that we don’t always need what we’re “supposed to” own. Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Thanks hun for being here 🤍 I love doing these kind of videos as well🙌🏼
I've been trying to implement my own version of minimalism in my life and seeing these videos really open my eyes to things we don't need in life. I don't deprive myself from my daily rituals like I still wear makeup which lasts me forever, I still like to have a variety of outfit options but I'm very selective, and I drink coffee every day of my life but I have eliminated ordering coffee out for example. I honestly do keep things for a long time and take really good care of my belongings. I will sew clothes and not throw things around like they're disposable. Learning one day at a time 🙏🏼
This is me too!❤
It does pay to be low maintenance!! That’s right girl 💜
I love love love this type of video, it helps to narrow down things I’ve already been on the fence about.
Truly does 🙌🏼 and thank you Diana 🤍
Decor. Yes I agree. It would be nice to have a few things to make the house looks nice but too much makes the house look cluttered and dusty.
Totally agree Dina 🙌🏼
I started using period underwear because of the zero waste period you made a while ago, I remember my mind was blown, I didn't even know such a thing existed! The brand you mentioned does not ship to my country but I absolutely love the ones I bought
Yayy!! I’m so happy to hear that Rosario 🙌🏼 I always try to convince my sisters and they still think I’m nuts when it comes to the period underwear. I swear my period seems lighter and just simpler, if that’s even a thing lol, ever since I switched to reusable period items 5 years ago.
@KyraAnn717 Can you please share what brand and where you get your period underwear? I don't comment much but I will now. I am sort of a silent follower of your channel for a while, and I have to say I love your content! Your authenticity is inspiring and your simplicity is beautiful! We need more people like you im this world :) Thank you for creating your videos!
@@Kyraann. I managed to talk a couple of my friends into wear them only overnight, what convinced them was how much easier their laundry became if you know what I mean🫢
I've said it once and I'll say it again. You are so wise since so many people are broke in an effort to impress other people.
Thank you Melanie 🤍🥹 and your so right!!
This is a wonderful video. Years ago, I read a book about Martha Matilda Harper. She created her very own identity from what happened in her life. She became a business woman. Her hair was to the floor! It is one of the 4 books I will never get rid of. I read it twice over the past 18 years.
Wow that’s amazing!! Thank you for sharing that 🥹🤍. We have a ton of free books in the lobby at my apartment and sometimes I always look if there’s something spooky for free 😅. Then once I’m done with it I can just put it back down stairs.
@@Kyraann. There is a spooky free movie on youtube called "The Canterville Ghost"
I love your videos. Pure, raw experience spilled with honesty. Thanks for bringing them to us ♥️
Excellent video! It's good that you've worked these things out so young, and I hope these things stay with you for life. I am just starting out on my minimalism journey and I hope things never go back the way they were. Videos like this are really helpful and challenging, as I am seeing so many areas of my life that I've let succumb to having too much of everything available.
I love your comments on the brand names being on your clothes and how you can wear your own brand. FACTS!!
Loved this Kyra!
I am so grateful for your channel. I have learned so much and I have saved money thanks to your advice. And... I always love seeing Milo in the background, chilling on your bed. He is precious!
Awe, thanks Eleni 🫶🏻 for always showing love!! Your the best hun 😊🤍
As someone who isn't minimalist and wants to start doing business with handmade decor, I would say buy decor, but only from local artist who do it with love and only things that match your personality or interest ❤
i have fridge magnets that I have collected from my travels and i love them, i agree on most of the things in this list but my fridge magnets make me happy and bring nice memories! Plus is only souvenir I buy myself and they always the cheapest !
I just adore your attitude! The cat toy thing cracked me up! They play with everything but their toys!
Bras--ugh. I feel you there. I have 3 bras and I am not even amused with getting another one. Love your channel!
Wicked good!
Kyra, I really appreciate how you are getting straight to the point of the video, instead of starting with a veeery long introduction :)
Love your "down to earth" approach in your videos
You can use vinegar as a fabric softener as well
You’re literally my role model! I’ve learned so much from you, thank you for being you 🤍
Awe 🥹 thank you so much Zahra for your kind words 🫶🏻
Loved this! Thanks for telling us.
You are so welcome Jessica and thanks for watching 🤍
Brilliant ❤ loved this content so much - many of the things you mentioned I don’t do too lol 💖 also great to see Milo 😻
Thank you Sharon 🫶🏻 love seeing you in the comments!!
Will implement some of these into my new year! Thank you!☺️
Yayy love to hear that and you are so welcome 🤍
U mean in 2024 😑
@@nikiwexulu2424 ewwwwwww
I totally love this video it goes straight into the point yes! You earn a subscriber now ☺️
I bought one of the Revlon things. Turned it on low and knew it would be too hot. After hearing you, I'm glad I never used that
Really enjoy your videos! ☺️💞
Thanks Stephanie 🤍
Hello Kyra and Everyone 💕. Yes….. you’re on it! Very Smart Lady👍🏿👍🏿
It's funny that I buy/own many of these things but still consider myself a minimalist. I do agree with some of the items you mentioned, tho!
😊 I guess we all have our own way of being a minimalist. The jewellery, books, clothes and shoes that I have are gifts over the years. Great quality and use for years! I don't care about fashion. I don't need anything so now I ask for a yummy dinner or outing for birthday & Christmas presents as I don't like clutter.
I'll try the vinegar for my car windows, thanks for the tips! I don't do most of these things. I've been a minimalist since 2021!
Hey Kyra!
I love these minimalist videos! Any advice on how to live with a partner who isn’t quite on the same level of minimalism? Thank you!
Also a minimalist, love that you go with no make up, beautiful 🥰
Tank u for sharing I love these videos
Love your videos 💖
I love all of your videos I had stopped wearing foundation I only wear eye brightener mascara and lip balm and I've stopped dying my hair as well I've learned that we are all beautiful without all that unnecessary items. but I am having a hard time of letting go of perfumes but the ones I use are vegan I'm trying my best to no longer purchase them anymore.
Love this wow. U inspired me. Acctually I was like this when studying/working, no nails done (just by myself), natural hair color. Now, nails done, hair bleached in beauty salon, im paying alot. I want to go back. Im tired of all the trends etc.
I use the hard floor setting on my vacuum for the tiled floor in my house and it works way better than the broom.
YASS!! Works like a charm in my kitchen area 🙌🏼
@@Kyraann. Thank you for everything you do! Your videos are so motivating for me!
Kyra I liked that clip at the end. You should try camping. You can make it as affordable as you want and the clips are relaxing.
HI KIRA CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ABOUT SELF LOVE OR HOW YOU PRACTICE SELF LOVE AS A MINIMALIST ! I HAVE A FEELING YOU WOULD DO REALLY GOOD ON IT !
Ahh I wish this video would be perfect for me but lately I’ve been so down when it comes to my weight gain and I’m trying to learn how to love and respect the new body I’m in. Once I get myself together I will definitely let you guys know what helped me out.
I am just now realizing I am a low-key minimalist wow, I don’t purchase a lot of things but purses 👜 are my guilty pleasures I buy 1-2 vintage pieces in like 3 months….girl pad is a must for me chileeee
Hello from Arizona!! I love your channel, I hope you never go away because legit you are like the only person I watch and look forward to, feel like I have a friend across the country :) Just love your videos!
Just wanted to share a bit, sorry for the super long comment.
3. I have a Live, Laugh. Love pot holder I got as a gag gift for my boyfriend so we can be that cheesy couple that has all these inspo quotes. Its funny everytime I pull it out but it is so like everyone else.
5. I am militayr, and before some of the grooming policies considered hair and nails. inthe grooming standards I would paint my toes and do clear polish or tips just so I felt feminine. Its a bit more lax now. and I'm learning to get away from the polish but its just a thing I do. ONe day I'd love to be a glass file gal.
6. Recently started decluttering my makeup, SO FREEING!!! I still wear some every here and there but it is like. asandwich bag size full of makeup versus a whole show box full.
10. Whenever you do have a little one, get a backpack/use a backpack if you already have one. Diaper bags are such a pain falling off the shoulder or slinging it everywhere, I found a backpack soooooooo much better.
15. I use my local library for books, and since my boyfriend is an avid reader/audiable junkie we share an account if there is anything I really wnat to listen to or read I pull it up on the kindle app.
18. Another thing I do because it just makes me feel more feminine in the military, but I do wear stud earrings. I don't have to though, and they were purchased in surgical grade steel because I am sensitive to jewelry.
19. Kids are the same, don't go down the rabbit hole of toys. They play will all your things, boxes, remotes, anything. But I was a new mommy once, a toy or 3 is fine but don't go crazy. I know you won't but just in case no one tells you dont get your little(s) hella/any toys.
25. I have this thing that slides under my bed and hangs on the side, put my kindle reader, chapstick, and inhaler in there. I hate nightstands, its a junk collecting station and been happy the last 2 years without them.
28. Super guilty of fridge magnets. Its another military thing, I never wanted my stuff lost becuase of moves so I buy a magnet for places I've been. They're like my nick nacks. I hate having a lot of things anyway but I did want to have something from my travels. Magnets are easy and I have a whole fridge to fill.
33. My mom drinks coffee so. I bought a tiny french press. Makes one cup of coffee, I just tell her to bring her own cream, coffee, and whatever else she likes in her coffee. Its takes up so little space I don't mind having it (along with her coffee cup that doubles as my tea cup). It is also good at making chamomille tea (I use the loose herb not the bag) without needing like a little tea infuser so I give the french life for my needs.
EDIT: I know you don't have a purse, but once the backpack/diaper bag isn't needed a wristlet to hold your phone, wallet (or cards) and little extra's your kiddo needs. I just got rid of my purse and got a small coach double wristlet at the outlet. Holds my phone, 6 cards, inhaler, keys, childrens allergy/pain pills (2 each) some folded up wipes in a baggie, 2 bandaids (because boo boos) and chapstick (we both have dry lips). I thought I could never get rid of a purse and need to have snacks and an extra comfort item but I don't. Finally free of the purse! I will say anythng that involves hands (roller skating) maybe spring for a fanny pack instead of the wristlet. I still have my purse (which is small) so in the future for activities I will just throw the wrsitlet in it so I can be handsfree.
Have a great week Kyra!
Awesome video
Thanks Ari 🤍
@@Kyraann. I’ve been downsizing my makeup and buying low waste makeup. Your videos are so helpful.
I aspire to stop buying makeup like you Kyra! and focusing more on treating my skin. I will only repurchase lip tint and mascara in the future (I look so dead without lip color 😅 so can’t live without it yet)
Yass!! I feel like everyone should give the whole “no makeup” look a try. It truly helped with my acne and confidence when it came yo my natural features.
Can you show some of your outfits and how you shop for your outfits and pick out things if you buy something new?
I love the library!!! Other than books in Mass we have library of things not sure in other states. But there’s libraries that have Rokus with streaming services like Netflix’s, dvds and dvd players, projectors, games, kitchen stuff, Nintendo switch and games and more. Never buying my daughter a game again unless I know she’ll play it very often which is highly unlikely since I limit electronics.
Edit: also I feel like logos all over your clothes is kind of tacky
I love your videos, I am saving so much money because if your videos ❤
Aww I love to hear that!! 🤍
Love these videos always keep me motivated/reminded to not buy things 😃
Hi Tia 🫶🏻 I absolutely love doing these type of videos as well!
@@Kyraann. ❤
Wait.. do you have carpet in the bathroom and kitchen too??? 😮 Or is it a small area of linoleum/laminate it tile that you can Swiffer?
I use my steamer for the kitchen and bathroom, they both have tiles.
I thought I was the only one without a TV. I use my laptop or listen to music or (free) podcasts. I can watch TV at work in the break room, lol.
Hey Kyra, can you pls tell me if you use any acids or actives to take care of your acne prone skin?
Oh know I only use the pacifica face mask I believe it's called the charcoal detox. It works amazing for acne, but always test a patch on your skin first before doing your whole face.
@@Kyraann. thank you Kyra, you’re obviously doing something right! You look amazing!
One of the things i don't buy anymore are fabric conditioner. It doesn't do anything. I wear perfume anyway
Need to know about your glass cleaner towels! I can’t find on Amazon. 😢
Ughh I hate when the links disappear over time 😰. I’m going to try and find a new link for you guys. Times like this I was I could just come up with my own reusable products and do that as a side hustle.
Waitttt! I know you said it before but as a big chested girl myself, I need good minimizer bras. What brand are the ones you got?
I purchased mine from Soma/Wacoal
Here’s the link to the ones I own
amzn.to/3GL5sRT
Kyra, what are your hobbies and what do you do for fun? Besides minimalism, saving or Milo, people or family. What makes you happy ?
I wish I knew But I honestly don’t have many hobbies besides what I show in the channel. I think maybe plants 🤷🏻♀️ but I’m pretty simple when it comes to relaxing, just give me a good scary movie some chocolate a comfy blanket right beside Milo and I’m good 😅
@@Kyraann. relatable. Most hobbies also require money… even the “least expensive “ of hobbies .
Be careful with period underwear. Two brands - Thinkx and Knix - use PFAs. There is a class action suit with Thinkx.
Good to know 👍🏻
Love it
Thanks hun 🤍
Can you please link the bra you spoke about?
Jis it while vinegar you useand does it make the clothes smell funny?
11:18 WAS SO ICONIC
😆 I just had to do it to them 😅
Milo is so cute on that bed chillin 😂
He’s too cute!! Every time I set up to film these kind of videos he’s running to bed 😅
Can you show how you’ve been trimming your hair? And maybe do some what you eat in a week videos?
So I actually just “dust” my hair, I think that’s the proper term for it. I’m basically just trimming the split ends. I’ll show how I do it in a vlog one day.
I don’t miss cable
I make my technology work for years before buying new
I try to do make up one in one out.
I have been using the same phone case for 11 months AND it’s compostable
Oh my gosh I have so many random skincare stuff ugh
I figured out which bra is my favorite and only buy that
I only put fridge magnets on the side where people can’t see it
I am so guilty of owning too many phone cases..I used to collect casetify and VC for my 6s, then got pissy because they deteriorated (duh) over time..after I started monitoring my daily expenses, I managed to stop the online shopping for a few months..but recently I was gifted a new phone for my birthday and I got down that rabbit hole ordering cases from aliexpress, justifying them because they were less than $5 each 🤦🏻♀️ of course, it added up
Ahh I was to in the past, aliexpress use to be my go to site for fake MK purses and LV purses 🤦🏻♀️ so embarrassing on just thinking how much money I wasted back then on trying to look cool and fit in. Thank goodness for the minimalist lifestyle 🙌🏼 literally changed my perspective on life in general.
Here we are worrying about things to not buy… and Milo living his best life sleeping❤😄 the good life hahahah
OMG I know right!! I want his life 😅, absolute no worry in the world.
I love your cat
link to the bras? thank you!
Yes makeup makes a person old and its exspensive such a waste i paint my nails and use lip gloss only and believe in a good moisturizer.
I’m trying to live a more minimalist lifestyle not sure if you talked about this on your channel but how many bras and underwears are you supposed to have? 😅
So I stay away from counting everything because everyone’s lifestyle is different along with the place you live, the temperature outside plays a huge role also when it comes to how many or what kind of clothing items you own. Personally I have a ton and I mean a to of socks and only 2 bras and 1 sport bra. But I do plan on purchasing more sports bras down the line because one isn’t enough these days. Like I said just to what fits your lifestyle don’t worry about the number too much.
Where did you get your phone case and magnetic thingy from?
I have it linked my Amazon storefront
Here’s the link for those items Check out this Idea List on Amazon:
a.co/icYP3Yc
heavy on the less is more on the skincare
I saved so much money by having blood work done to see what vitamins I was deficient in and only buying those. B1 vitamin and vitamin D. If I got more sun, I’d only need one. 😊
Yasss!! Getting blood work done is so easy and takes less than 2 minutes. Crazy how we can all over do it when it comes to the vitamins because there’s just far too many to choose from these days.
Interested in knowing which period underware you use.
These are the ones I use hun ⬇️
amzn.to/3HdP0Li
SIDE NOTE: size up, they run really small.
@@Kyraann. thanks! But maybe its because im in canada the price is $95 for 3. Are they really worth it for that price? Ive been thinking about getting thinx but hoping to find a cheaper option.
I like this video :) i like the list
Great job Kyra!
Thanks Patricia 🤍
🌱
What kind of bra did you buy?
I want to see a room tour video 🥺
Here’s the link hun, still looks the same till this day.
czcams.com/video/ysp9dwndtcM/video.html
Just commenting for the algorithm! 😊
Thank you Mai 🤍
what is her instagram? I can't access it through the link in the description 😢
I actually will be talking about this situation very soon 🤍😰
i love magnets 😂
Period under wear my daughter loves them
Kitchen is carpeted?
No that has tiles, bedroom and living room has wall to carpet. Bathroom also has tiles.
A friend used to paid to have ears cleaned, a doctor recommended him to do it because is better than q tips and last a long time
Definitely 🙌🏼 q tips are the biggest enemy and can become very addicting.
I do have one question on the jewelry thing. When/if you and your boyfriend get married are y'all gonna wear wedding bands? Genuinely curious about this.
We actually don't plan on ever getting married, it's just not our thing. When I use to wear rings back in the day my fingers always swell up at night so the rings would cause me to have so much pain our my fingers, that's why I can't wear any type of rings. I totally forgot to mention this.
❤️🐈⬛
I heard perfume can cause depression and fertility issues
Not for everybody but if you're sensitive or it gives you a headache, don't use it? 🙃
Not necessarily but do be careful when it comes to perfume since it’s a free open market. A lot of companies that make perfumes don’t have to show the full ingredients. Even if they have a law suit against them. I learned about this a couple months back. It’s pretty crazy how some products we consume regularly are a free for all when it comes to ingredients.
I agree with the period underwear!!! They’re amazing, and I also use a “cup”. I’d never go back.. it’s just a waste of money doing anything else.
If you’re afraid of using the cup, or something similar, at least use period underwear instead of a pad/liner they’re really great!
Ving decor sucks cause of having to dust all that junk
I need my night stand pretty much just to put my glasses on. Only reason I have not gotten rid of it. 🤍 also I had a breast reduction when I was 22. I’m now 37 and it was the BEST decision I made for myself in my 20s
