    I did the previously impossible yesterday! Yesterday, on the way to visit my MIL she asked for some ginger ale and floss. The only thing around without adding a ton of time - was a Target! So I went inside telling myself not to get sucked in to anything else and while I noted some adorable Easter decor and some very unhealthy snacks- neither my husband nor I gave in to temptation! We had zero buyers remorse hours later which was a first after leaving a Target. I credit this channel for the strength to stay away from the dollar section. No remorse, no extra money spent, and nothing in my house I would end up giving away anyway. Thank you!!!

    We are a non toxic household, I do not have high heels but I would actually like a pair of plain kitten heels. I do use a clear nail polish, since nails are thin, children are way grown, I like the scents from my herb garden. I cut Hub’s hair and trim mine, learned during Covid, never diffused, do not burn candles. I cannot wait to return to the gym. Since we are senior seniors , it was an important part of our life. No sugar drinks for us, we make all foods at home, we like it better. We do buy in bulk, since we live in a remote area in Montana. I use what i buy, and buy what we use. I am very pleased with how well we plan and save money. I purchase only basics. We are both tall and thinnish senior seniors. I use warm flannel nightgowns. Eucerine is a good product, great in our dry climate. Since we mask, I have not used any makeup. We use natural elements to celebrate seasons, no craft store cutesy! We try to keep our consumerism to the absolute minimum. I have bought all white linens for many years.

    I just found your channel and I really like it. I am going thru my house like crazy, and giving away lots of stuff. It has amazed me how much stuff I kept in case I would need it. When I go into a store now, I am much more aware of how they are trying to get me to buy lots of cutesy, but unneeded stuff. I am much more careful about what I buy, and I realize that shopping was sort of a hobby thing, Buying something new was a bit of a thrill. But it is so temporary! I am also "undecorating" my house, so it has a less cluttered feeling. It really makes a difference! I always felt I had so much work to do. Now I wake up and everything looks peaceful, light, and clean. Wow!!

    I've had two friends whose houses burned because they used candles, so no candles for me! I learned that the ingredients in nail polish actually harm your nails, so stopped wearing nail polish of any kind and found that my pathetic nails became strong and beautiful all by themselves! Nice list.

    On high heels: more than 30 years ago I "declared" (to anyone who would listen!) that I would no longer wear high heels. They were uncomfortable (for me), and I had seen too many pix of women's worn/injured/awful shoes and the damage they often caused . I remember reading one particular article detailing these maladies that literally made me cringe, and vowed from that moment forward NEVER to be one of those women or own any of those feet! Yet somehow, I have gotten successfully thru life!

    I have found essential oils to be healthier to breathe than many candles and they can purify the air. The key is to not over buy or buy what you don't need. 🍊🍋🍈 Simply getting lemon, lavender, orange and peppermint with a diffuser may be all someone needs if they are working on minimalism.

    You can always use baking soda to get scents out of carpets, especially in the car. Or wax melts, the left over wax from a candle. Put it in a glass container, in your cup holder. As the temperature rises, it let's out some of the scent from the wax. As it cools, it will solidify, but next time it's warm, you use it again.

    Just watched a couple of your videos and subscribed! I love your energy! We are slowly becoming empty nesters (4 girls) with only a 17yo who just graduated. We moved twice last year and have been going through boxes and bins - getting rid of things and decluttering, keeping only things we are actively using. As we pull out seasonal items, we are going through them, still have lots to do and we still struggle in a lot of areas, but we are getting better at it all the time. A few years ago, I started making more of our snacks and baked goods in order to decrease our sugar intake so I like to make my own lower sugar/gluten-free snacks and baked goods, greek yogurt, homemade jerky, peanut butter, and mayonnaise. We grow our own herbs and some vegetables and recently got chickens (we'll see how that goes!). I cut/color my hair and the girls' hair when they ask. I am working on decluttering tables and shelves with the idea of 3 items or fewer on a table or surface. I just switched to Laundry Detergent Eco Sheets (no big bottle that cannot be recycled) and we have used wool dryer balls for years. We recycle and compost as much of our trash as we can. We love to craft and knit, so that is a major area that I need to declutter and organize better. I did make a promise that I wouldn't buy any more yarn until I start working through my supply on hand.

    Having many serious allergies, I find that I can’t even go into someone’s home if they use/have scented candles, air fresheners, Febreeze, hairspray, scented laundry items, diffusers, diffuser sticks, body sprays, non-natural perfumes, scented cleaning products (especially spray cleaners), lots of improperly-stored books, or mold. If I do go into such a house, I could likely leave via ambulance. There are more people like me than you might think, and if a toxic home can make me dangerously ill, it stands to reason it can make everyone else somewhat ill.

    I can’t bring myself to cut my oldest son’s hair. It’s so thick and curly but I take him to the cosmetology school in our town. It’s super cheap for a hair cut ($10) and it gives the students the practice and hours they need to graduate. Double win! I also have invested in gym clothes and go to PF. I’m an avid weight lifter so until I can save the money to buy the really expensive bars, machines and equipment, it’s worth it to me to pay 23 a month to use the gym four to five times a week.

Then the little tiny clothes pins to pin them to your air vent in the car. We put 3 on a little thread that had a little tassel at the end. Looked cute and smelled great! You don’t need many drops at all. It may not seem it still first, but the scent can be really strong once it’s closed up in the car.

    We used to take advantage of after Christmas sales. But I found that we often ended up getting too much or getting something different for people instead of what we'd bought after Christmas, thus ending up with bins full of gifts that went to no one. Also, wrapping paper and gift bags. I donated some of the items to the thrift store in January. I didn't want to overload them with Christmas items in January though, so I put a note on the remaining bins: Get rid of by Christmas 2021. And then my hubby went to a sale and bought stuff for nobody in particular for next Christmas...baby steps. I put it all in my bins with the rest and I'm going to consider it items we can donate.

    For the car smelling better...My husband and I have a no eating in the car policy which helps. But with littles make sure all trash is taken out at every stop or each time you get home. Vacuum up bigger messes immediately and maintenance vacuum weekly. Put windows down when parked once in awhile for air circulation. These tips might help to lessen odors. 💜

    I haven't worn heels since my wedding 7 years ago...I do still have 1 pair of black heels that I keep because I'm sure sometime in the future I will need them.
    I burn candles too! I got rid of my essential oil diffusers because they can be harmful to pets. I don't want to risk it. Love EO scents though they are lovely.

    I have a couple of pairs of shoes that have little heels on them. I can't stand high heels and that junk.
    I do like my wax melts, defusers, and candles. Food cans can be used for so many different things: weights for working out, weights for holding something down. My mother had to be in traction and we had one at home she used. We used canned goods for the weights. I too am a homebody. I only go out when I absolutely have to. One of those is going to work. I use my Snoopy Halloween and my Rudolph Christmas mugs, year round. I wear some of my holiday clothing year round. I will wear them under other clothes for extra layers, and even as sleep wear.

    for car freshner, use rechargeable bamboo charcoal bags. it absorbs smells. I used in my house to get rid of dead mouse in wall smell and it worked great. I bought mine on amazon.

    Thank you so much for the Lavanila perfume recommendation! I have been on a quest to find a perfume that I absolutely love the scent of, and also one that doesn't gives me headaches. I tried out the grapefruit vanilla scent and it smells absolutely beautiful! I tried some on and asked what my husband thought of it. He said " It's good! You smell like an ice cream parlor." Haha - that's just what I was going for - a scent that is soft and sweet. 🍨

    Oh, I totally agree about seasonal decor. It's so trendy to decorate for every single holiday and season. I generally find it such a waste of money.

      Yes!!! And I have noticed that too much decor just feeds my anxiety

      @jjjks5 Před 3 lety +1

      I agree! I have a tiered tray in our kitchen and I have a few little seasonal things for it that I rotate out occasionally. But that’s it. I used to go nuts with decorations for all of the holidays but I’ve learned it’s a waste of money and causes me stress too.

  • @cozywitchcrafter
    @cozywitchcrafter Před 3 lety +2

    I make my own lower waste/cost laundry booster with Epsom salt, baking soda, and light essential oil (optional) for scent. It works better than unstoppables and so much more affordable.

    I can’t remember the last time I wore heels. Probably my wedding almost 17 years ago. They’re just not comfortable for me and I’m clumsy enough with my feet flat on the ground lol

    For your car: Have the rugs shampooed! We did this and were amazed the difference it made. Also, use those essential oils you aren't using in your house anymore. You can get a clip-on for your vents or just put a little with some water (probably not vodka) in a small skirt bottle.

    Something I don't buy anymore is all-purpose cleaner in a spray bottle. It's like 90% water so what's the point. I buy a big bottle of concentrated all-purpose cleaner, pour a little amount in an empty spray bottle and fill up with water, and I clean everything with it (floors, counters, surfaces, etc)
    P.S.: I just found your channel and I love your videos! You give so many useful advices and you're so friendly and nice! ^.^ Best wishes 😊

    Dryer sheets leave a residue on clothes...they were originally made to stop static cling but most people think they need them all year round when dry climates or winter months are when the are to be used..

    I burn candles - I worry that the defuser will ruin my furniture.
    I use Mrs. Meyers to clean our home and love the lavender scent.

    I love the smell of the orange carpet powder sprinkle. Glade maybe? You just sprinkle some on and wait and then vacuum it up. Something like that might work for the car. I also use the glade oil things. I add a bit to the mop water in my fave scent (which is cashmere woods lol). Tho I think any oil would do (could be used to wipe down the car for the scent or just take off the top and let it waft around in the car only when you need it). I still like my heels. Don’t wear them much but I still love looking at them in my “closet display.” Tho I’ve gotten down to a dozen pairs of shoes overall, including slippers, sliders and flip flops (which for me is a miracle. I used to be a total shoe fanatic lol). I’m new on the journey to “I don’t buy anymore” but my first order of business is to stop the random thrift store junking that I once was so fond of. It’s so easy to just buy so much and wind up with massive clutter when it costs next to nothing anyways.

    I love my Planners by Blue Sky, but they do come out with 2 for each year and you have to be mindful of which one you get and wait for it to come out otherwise 6 months is wasted with the new one instead of waiting a month or two more for the official one....I think its year vs school year....so of course...school year atm...I love the 8 1/2 x 11 format with whole month view and then the weekly pages ---- but ya need to get a fave that works for you!!!!
    Dryer Balls!!! LOVE THEM!!!! got mine off Amazon!!!!
    Can't use essential oils as I believe they are harmful to cats...love Love LOVE my candles and only burn SOY ones now, as those BIG BRANDS leave soot all over my house
    DON'T BUY ANYMORE
    -no more Ziploc....for something we use and usually end up throwing away I stick with Target brand which is JUST as good or I opt to put whatever in a container.
    -no soda (pure sugar we don't need)
    -Big expensive brand TP = target brand is just as fab
    -Expensive brand shave cream - hidden secret...Mango shave gel from Trader Joe's (orange tube) hubby can use it too for his face (best stuff EVAH!!!)
    -NO more DVD's Blue Rays (stuff comes out so fast and with streaming etc an oh the library
    -Big Brand purses - I used to have a Vera Bradley love, but its changed and instead I have a local to me last who makes amazing bags and I always ALWAYS get a compliment on them!!
    -Big Brand Name jeans (best jeans ever Maurice's)
    -Heels --love shoes, but they don't love me and heels are the WORST thing for your back...I let my virtual toon have an amazing shoe wardrobe and it works! LOL
    -Ironically, with covid online shopping has curbed my "frivolous" spending in places like TARGET -- I can purchase online and have delivered and spend less and get what I need without going to the store and spending time and money and gas by going TO the store...
    -Magazine subscriptions (I can't tell you how many unread magazines I had)
    -Newspaper subscriptions
    -plastic ware -- learn to use a glass and wash a glass (of course, when the little one was little -- she had her set)
    -no more extra drink bottles (Contigo best one out there imho)
    I am sure there are more...LOL

    I only buy white bath towels and washrags. I have red and white dish towels and dishclothes. I have patterned plates, but if I ever need to buy new, I will buy solid white, so even if I changed decor the plates would work.

    I figured out as well its not worth buying bulk in the long term. Plus it gets in your way of freely choose what you want to eat since you are just forced to use them up. Made me frustrated.
