What are some habits you’re starting to simplify your life? ❤
I removed my credit card information from shopping sites. It seems like a tiny step but it really helps.
@@ros8986yessss! More friction = less impulse buys!
I feel 1000 things that I have learned from you. You quickly became my fav youtuber (& will tell people all about your content when ask which yt persona I like best) when I found you a few years back.
Don't know why it took me so long to comment but Thank You for all the inspiration.
Not buying back ups of products and making a list and then reevaluate if I need it or not at a later time.
@@spookyvillevideo 🥹🥹 thank you for being here
🎉 I'm on a "use it up" mission this year. Funny little book of matches - great, put it next to the candle and use it instead of the lighter. Loads of samples in my suitcases... Great, let's work all the way through them and spa day it, every day. Half bottle of bathroom cleaner lurking at the back of the cupboard... OK, I hear you, let's scrub the taps. I'm hoping to move to the other end of the country later this year, so I'm challenging myself to use up all the "scraps" in my life and only move with great, favourite things ❤🎉
I love this idea!
I am also looking to use or give away - fortunately I have a neighbor who is happy to receive the groceries I am not going to get to. On Moving, Gayle Goddard has some great videos on moving, she is a professional organizer who has helped many people prep for moving, and also worked with clients on the unpacking and organizing at their new homes (there are videos on both)
Me too!
Me too!
Awesome idea!
I pick out my outfit for the next day every night before bed. And yes to packing your lunch before bed. These two tips have transformed my morning from hectic to smooth 😊
I do this, too but most times I wake up and don´t feel I want to wear what I chose the night before... which annoys me a lot.
@@elisabethhagspiel3695me too that's why I get 2 outfits ready and see how I feel in the morning to pick one 😂
I do that when I have to go to the Office the next day. Lay out my outfit, pack my bag, have my food prepared etc. This way I can also sleep a little longer😊
I’ve started picking my outfits for the week and meal prepping all my lunches on Sunday and it’s become a total game changer! I get to come home and relax rather than getting stressed about what I’m going to wear or eat
Same here!!
I'm simplifying my life by deciding that I'm not gonna be a gym girlie lol for a long time I thought that I should go to the gym but I realized that the barrier to working out at home is just that much lower. All I need to do is put on my workout clothes and cue up a workout video. By now it's a habit to just immediately put on workout clothes when I wake up. Sure, maybe I don't "properly" work out each muscle group with weights or whatever, but I'm moving and that's what matters.
Exactly this! I’ve been working out from home for the past year and I’m more consistent. I have the resistant bands and few dumbell I need and I still experience DOMS as bad as I did going to the gym. So it works out!
I, too, workout from home. The gym is too difficult to get motivated. I get up each morning and put on my workout clothes, do my weights and aerobics or abs.
Love this example of simplifying life
I do the same since 2020
I've always liked your content because you are very balanced and healthy with and about your stuff. I never feel like you're chasing after the minimalist aesthetic like so many other channels.
Thank you! I used to but realized jt was not authentic to me and kinda toxic lol - happy in the middle!
I get decision fatigue easily. To help, i have designated a color for each day of the week in my wardrobe. Its like having a mini Monday capsule wardrobe. It reduces my clothing options to 3 at max. Bonus: when I need a reminder if it's actually Thursday, I can peak down and know for sure 😉
So fun!
Wow, that sounds really cool! Thanks for this tip! I have something I call my work clothes, but I really like the idea of colors according to weak days
I’m also minimalist-ish. I gravitated towards it for more than one reason. I downsized from a house to an apartment, and , although I’m not at death’s door, I don’t want to leave a ton of stuff behind that my son will have to deal with when I die. I do still have way more clothes than a minimalist has, but I wear them, and I do closet clean outs at least once a year, sometimes twice. My non-clothes closets and kitchen and bathroom cabinets are not overflowing any more. My aim is to have every single thing in my apartment be useful and regularly used, or bring me happiness by looking at. The hardest thing for me so far has been getting rid of a lifetime of Christmas decorations. I am down to an amount that fits into the entry hall coat closet….with room for coats. I’m still not up to dealing with family photos and personal papers, cards, etc. But I’ll get there. I’m amazed I’ve come this far. Getting to a point where your possessions do not possess you, is definitely doable. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I lost 60 lbs last year and I was shocked when I went through all the clothes that I didn’t fit into and dragged around with me for 10+ years thinking…these might fit me someday. Well now they fit me and I let most of them go because I know I’ll never wear them. My closet is now filled with clothes that fit me and I know I’ll wear. If I go an entire year without wearing something I’ll get rid of it because there’s no excuse that I might be able to use it….someday. I want to implement the 10 minute reset for sure. Looking in my closet when I want to buy clothes - I usually buy the same thing over and over so being able to see my wardrobe is a reminder that I don’t need another blue sweatshirt. Maybe even take a pic of my closet so when I’m out I can look at that when I’m tempted to buy another black hoodie. This was a fantastic video!
This is what I need. I am minimal, but before I got my spring clothes out I had it in my head I needed a new pair of blue shorts. Was looking for some but decided to get the box out first and check. Sure enough I didn’t need them. I had only nine things in that spring wardrobe and didn’t even recall one was blue shorts! So you’re right. I think I need to take photos of what I have too! 😊
@@Chrissyhappy it’s worked a couple times so far! Not for anything specific, but seeing how much clothing is in my closet is enough of a deterrent. I hope it works for you!
Good on you for losing the weight. I have managed to lose 40 and am on the verge of the closet purge also. I feel a lot better, how about you?
I'm the same! So much of my clothing I find that I don't end up using, so I just get rid of them and donate them. You never remember any of the stuff that you give away because you don't really need most of the things that you have. It's just a consumer mentality and the idea that you "might need this" at some point. So I'm constantly going through my stuff and getting rid and only going to keep a certain amount of clothing items because I don't like having clutter. Clutter leads to a cluttered mind and anxiety because you can be overwhelmed by all this stuff that you *think* that you need, but you don't really need. So I prefer to just keep what I actually use, and then that means I do less laundry loads, as well. I also think that the minimalist ideology can apply to other areas of your life... keeping the good friendships, the people that really elevate you and improve your life versus just having a bunch of acquaintances you don't really vibe with.
2024: working my closet by pulling things from the back to front, wearing my undecideds one more time to make a final decision, and using the hanger method on this current season capsule.🥳
Yes! I call it “auditioning” my items. I wear it (or use it) to see if it gets A role in my life. My real life....not the fantasy one in my head. If the audition is successful, yay, there is a part in my life. If not, time to pass it along because there is likely someone else who would like to have it.
Prepping for my next day has been a huge game changer! The night before I'll load up my coffee maker so all I have to do in the morning is hit the on button. It's a small thing, but saving even 5 minutes in the morning has made it much less stressful 😊
Yeah doing it all the night before helps so much….i usually pack the gym bag, my lunch and breakfast and put my travel mug right by the nespresso…i hadn’t thought of putting the actual pod in there the night before til I saw your comment…so now I am going to put the pod in place so that’s one less thing to do in the am.
I have always picked out my outfits the night before and usually try to prepare my lunch then as well. Over the weekend however, I downloaded the Indyx app and just cataloged about 15 items. By doing that I have already made 3 different outfits out of one pair of pants and just a few other items including shoes and jewelry. I have a feeling that this will be my new favorite thing to make sure that I am maximizing my cost per wear and actually seeing what I do and do not need in my wardrobe. 🥳 I figured out that my shopping was an actual addition about 6 months ago and have since made tremendous strides to knock out that bad habit thanks to watching you. I made myself sick when I went back and actually tried to track all the money that I had spent in a year; something about having to type all those numbers into a spreadsheet and watching that number grow is horrific and quite eye opening. I am never going back!!
Isn’t it SO fun! It’s like a game! I find it so relaxing to make outfits too!
I agree with everything except automatically getting rid of things you forgot that you own. I just had this happen to me yesterday and it was pretty shocking to me that I forgot, TBH. I decided to keep the item, use it, and replace a worn out similar item with it that was in worse shape. I guess I'm suggesting discretion when deciding what to toss. Thanks for a very helpful and encouraging video!
I bought a cute pink rolling chair at Marshall’s for $70. The wheels sucked but I thought I was now or never. A month later I found a really comfortable brown rolling chair that rolled like butter for only $10 bucks. The looks of the chair didn’t really matter as I always throw a blanket over it because I have cats. Functionality won over looks. And something old won over brand new.
Thank you for reminding me to pass on something that is not perfect for me in every respect.
I like what Josh Becker says about minimalism. Just eliminating everything that does not serve you. I will never be the person who gives all my possessions away. But I will edit and remove things that don't serve are redundant or simply are broken, tattered etc. So this was helpful to show ways of maximizing your time and money. I'm here for it in 2024? 🥳🥳
I never thought I would go so crazy in my nobuy month. So I started investing time and energy in doing crafts, with things I already have. Doing good so far. Also working out more often, intending daily . Thank you ❤
I like that you use BALANCE! "A toothbrush & two pairs of pants" LOL 😆. As I'm getting older, I want less in my closet, home, and makeup drawers. A saved list is THE BEST for curbing impulse buying 👍🏾. Thanks for another great video ❤✌🏾
I take pictures of things I want to impulse by. If I remember to look at the picture days or weeks later, I’ll consider treating myself (within reason). 99% of the time, I forget about the picture and therefore, forget about the item. If I *really* want/need something, it wouldn’t be forgotten.
Even before the 1st minute of this video I've liked it literally lol. Thank you for letting us know that we can live like a minimalist without being an actual minimalist.
I'm also trying to style more and utilize what I have. Recently I realized I don't need a yoga or gym outfit per se, I can wear soft T's and other non-workout tanks when I exercise. I'm also experimenting with wearing more casual tops under a blazer or cardigan, for work. My favorite tip is spending more in the categories important to you. Where is your green duffle bag from?♥
My top tip is to, for each item or group of items, think in detail how much maintenance time/energy does this item require - dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing, folding/hanging/ironing/dry-cleaning/laundry-sorting, etc. For me, I wash all laundry together, and except for a few items (hang dry), it all goes in the dryer on medium together, then it all goes in my 'clean laundry' mesh basket together.
🥳 Good list. This morning I was watching a video talking about French Girl clothes for 2024, so I started shopping for "burgundy" on my favorite thrift store online website, while listening to the video. I spent a good half hour in "burgundy," didn't find anything I liked, went on with my day. LATER, much later, I realized: I already HAVE a burgundy wool beret FROM FRANCE that I'm not wearing enough. It's a little snug, and needs to be stretched, because it's authentic French wool, and my hair isn't very accommodating of this style at the moment. Now I have to figure out how to WEAR IT finally and make it work with my life, because burgundy is "in" now.
Oh yeah -- and that Herman Miller chair, right on. I bought one (not like yours, but Herman Miller nonetheless) and it's awesome. Yours is absolutely gorgeous. You're going to love it for years. I bought a Honda Element in 2010 for the same reason: practicality and cost per use. I still have it and it just rolled over 320,000 miles. People are shocked that it has that many miles on it; it hardly looks used at all.
I actually miss my 2006 Honda Element. I regret trading it in
I’m finding planning a weekly capsule wardrobe over the weekend simplifies, saving time and energy in the dressing routine. I feel the intentional planning time brings appreciation for the clothes I have and love - i launder, I mend, I declutter, and this time allows for experimentation and styling within my closet. Thank you Christina!❤
🎉 thanks for all of the great tips!

Useful video❤. I really appreciate what you’re doing
Great reminders!!
Will be using the 5-4-3-2-1 tip, especially in the winter when it can be so hard just to start something! But you are spot on that when we get over the hump of actually beginning something, we’re always happy we did.
Super helpful tips as usual. Thanks Christina! 🥳
🥳 Thank you for a great video!
I love all of your videos Christina! Love from Greece❤🥳
🎉 thanks Christina!
🥳great ideas as always. Thank you!
I think my husband and I have nailed it by now but it took us some years. Some things that we do: only open and use one bottle/tube/container etc. of something (one bottle of shampoo, one lipstick, one pack of coffee), use up before replacing, only having one item of its kind (one whisk, one pan, one pair of black jeans), buying quality over quantity, mending before discarding, having a "work uniform", watching your cost per use/wear and get it as high as possible.
🥳 Love the tips!
Always thought provoking and inspiring! Thanks Christina ❤ 🥳
Thanks, Christine! Loved this video. 🥳
🥳🥳 love your videos, so many great ideas
❤i follow many of the rules you are suggesting and my life is sooo relaxing!!!plenty of money and time to relax and do what I really love.A hug from Sicily,Italy
Yayyyy!!
I find myself always looking for something to purchase. Usually clothes. Why?? Because it makes me feel good( temporarily)and its arrival is something to look forward to
Now i realize things dont make one happy. And i should be looking foward to seeing my grandkids graduate,finding that perfect mate,and mine and my husbands 57 year anniversary. Happiness comes from within,not inside a box.
I loved this video Christina! Some great ideas for 2024! I’m in Hamilton, so not too far away from you and it’s been so cold! Hard to get motivated in this weather. But your video has definitely helped. I’m going to start the 5,4,3,2,1 today! 🥳
Always food for thought. I'd started doing a couple of this to simplify grim winter mornings but putting clothes together also helps sift your wardrobe. 🥳
🎉 you rock, Christina!
🥳 great video! Thanks for sharing
🥳 Thank you for some great ways to implement!

🥳 thank you for this video! I can’t wait to start using the wishlist method and styling what I already have
🥳 Thank you for awesome tips! I plan to make a little extra food at dinner time so I have extra for lunch the next day at work. I’ve failed with full on meal prepping so I’m curious if this helps! I’m also implementing the 1 in 2 out rule for purchases. I’m hoping this will help me decide how badly I really want an item. I already use the waitlist idea and it’s amazing. I definitely agree with your intentionality mindset!
Great tips.

I love your video! I have become more conscious lately of the circumstances surrounding the goods I purchase. At the same time, I have embraced a vegan lifestyle, and it's wonderful for me. It is therapeutic to know where my clothing, food, and all other purchases come from. I vote for kinder future, that is the kind of world I am supporting with my choices. Peace to all earthlings.☮

🥳Thank you for sharing these great tips.
🥳 great content thank you.
Every time I watch your channel I do a clean out haha. It makes me realise how much I hold onto and how much I am obsessed with one thing for a week then I forget about it. 😂 I found your channel because I was looking for ways to organise a then very small shared closet space. I’ve found the content really valuable and thinking more about style and shopping in terms of overarching values (also a mild shopping addiction related to how im feeling emotionally). thank you for the work you do! ❤
Great reminding tips for me so that I can work towards becoming minimalish.
🥳 it was great!
