Why I stopped caring about minimalism (life update)
Hi everyone! It's been a while...
In today's video I am sharing an update on why I stopped caring about minimalism/UA-cam, how the principles I have practiced over the last few years helped me to get through this difficult time, and some scenes about what I have been up to the last 10 months.
I hope you will stick around for all that is to come, and I will talk to you again soon.
**I apologize it’s a bit echoey in this room! Still learning the best spots to film in the new house, and hope to upgrade my mic as well :)
6:45 - The last 10 months

Is minimalism realistic?
Переглядів 2,2 тис.2 роки тому
When you think of minimalism, you might think of stark white walls, empty cupboards, nomadic living and a monochrome wardrobe. This might feel unnatural, unattainable, or even unrealistic to you. I am here to tell you why that does NOT have to be your version of minimalism. Minimalism IS about: - Being intentional (with our time, purchases, choices, etc.) - Identifying our values - Creating spa...

    I am slightly opening up to second hand but it seems like online is the way to go. Just bought a refurbished iphone 14 pro max and saved around $240 versus buying brand new. I like the brand Travis Mathew but their polos cost around $90-$100 each. They go on sale but the particular design I wanted was very hard to find and at best I could buy brand new for $50. I was able to find a used one on ebay for $30 with shipping. I can afford new but with the savings I am able to get more stuff I want versus having a few stuff new.

    Nice but I would call it modernist, not minimalist. There are lots of stuff which make the owner comfortable and happy, which is probably more important than minimalism just for the sake of it.

    Oh my goodness, I got so much joy out of this video! It's so reassuring to hear that you have had feelings over a life event that you didn't expect and struggled to deal with them. It's easy to feel lonely about those feelings, so thank you for sharing your experience. Your house is beautiful, and I stopped and went back to see your gorgeous cat and lovely pink flowers on the table - swoon! And the otter - wow!! 😄🥰 I love the shot of the hot cup of coffee on a cold morning. I'm thrilled that you're back. 😊 Thank you for this beautiful video! ❤

    Oh Kyla, I have had the same experience. 10 years ago I moved into my in-laws big beautiful home after my father-in-law died. I knew the move was coming but I had an emotional meltdown I had not anticipated. I didn’t feel like myself for months. We too had to renovate and the chaos and loss of routines was so hard on me. It was like I totally lost myself. Well it did return and now I absolutely love my house and life but for a while I was sure I had made a big mistake that I couldn’t change. Some of us are very sensitive to our environments and our homes are an extension of our selves and it just takes time.

I think change, even the kind one has longed for and is eager to experience, can be difficult at times. But it doesn't mean that it won't be something positive in the long run. I wish you all the best in your new home and am looking forward to watching more videos. By the way, your home and surroundings look breathtalingly beautiful!

    Your home is very nice! When I search for home tours, I am always looking for a home that is a little bit better organized and a little bit more minimal than mine. Even before I discovered the author James Clear who popularized the “one percent better” improvement plan, I realized that some homes were unreachably empty and others were stressfully cluttered to look at. We all need a spectrum of examples to look at and internalize on our way to whichever level of minimalism we want to park ourselves at. Your home is lovely and beautiful and perfect for where I am at right now. Thank you for sharing.

      Hi Lara, thank you so much for this kind comment! I completely agree, I have always viewed minimalism as tool that we adapt to suit our own lives, not an empty destination we need to arrive at. I am so happy that my home resonated with you and appreciate you taking the time to comment <3

    I'm late to comment, but thank you for this inspiring and helpful video. It is just what I need as I attempt to change some of my thinking patterns in a more constructive way! As a little aside, what breed is your cat and what shades of Mac lipstick are displayed in the video? Rhubarb is my dream kitty--what a doll! :)

    • @kylapreto
      @kylapreto Рік тому

      I am late to reply, but I am so happy you found this video helpful! While my low buy was not entirely successful in 2022, I am okay with that as it definitely changed my outlook on shopping and consumerism. Best of luck with yours! The shades of lipstick in the video are "twig" and "d is for danger", and Rhubarb is an adopted kitty so I am not sure what breed she is. The rescue told us "domestic long hair". She is my dream kitty as well! <3

    • @aeb5055
      @aeb5055 Рік тому

      @@kylapreto Thanks for your reply! You look gorgeous in whatever shade is featured in this video, btw. :) We had an adopted kitty (who we sadly lost to old age after 16 years of wonderful companionship) who looked similar to your sweetie. A vet thought ours was a Norwegian Forest cat. Maybe Rhubarb has some...Forest...in her, too? :) My low buy wasn't very successful either, but I am (similar to yourself) experiencing new insights (your 3 lippies is beautifully thoughtful.) Hope to see more of your videos if it feels in the flow for you!
