Truthfully, I believe minimalism can definitely have a positive impact in all areas of life, not just in a material sense. I'm also working on a minimalist diet, fitness routine and my work. Nice and simple apartment.
This really makes me think about how much I have and how little I actually need. I'm in the process of decluttering our family home so this was very inspiring. Thank you. Rachelle, Australia 🦘 xo
I really enjoyed seeing how you organize and the amount of things you have. It’s very inspiring! I’m still on my decluttering journey in California so watching minimalist videos keeps me motivated. Thanks for making your videos!✌️😊
Hi Lisa❤️ I’m so glad I can help you feel motivated to keep going in your decluttering journey! 😇 I post at least 1 minimalist home tour/minimalism video per week, so plenty of vids to help you along the way hehe. I loved visiting California, what a beautiful place and beautiful beaches🏖🏝 Thank you for your comment & have a wonderful day! :)
This is exactly what happens. I went today to recycle store where they sell stuff for cheap to poor people, and I gave them another bag of stuff I haven't touched in months. It feels so great, you are becoming more and more free. Now it seems everything I have, I use with multi purposes if possible. For example my water bottle I use outside is also good water bottle when I sleep in my bedroom. I don't need any additional glasses for that. I still don't have extreme mindset when it comes to living, but I will give anything with no use.
I love looking at these minimalist spaces. But it's easy to make it look like that when you just moved in. It's the accumulation over time that screws it up. Hope they fixed the hole in the wall!
Thanks for sharing everything with us. I don't have much staff, but I see every time, that there is something to declutter. I try to sell everything what I don't really need.
You’re welcome, I love to share this aspect of my life with others :) I know what you mean, there’s always something to declutter (or at least make more efficient) when we pay attention & as we grow as people. If you can sell anything you don’t need that’s best case scenario! I don’t like to invest too much time into selling things so I usually just donate or throw away, haha. Thanks for commenting & have a great day!
I really like your new apartment!! and your futon is so pretty! We got a few things from Daiso too when we moved to our new apartment. I love that store everything there is practical and cute at the same time:) I look forward to seeing more videos in your new place:)
Hi Jennifer!🥰 Omg I had no idea they had Daiso in Seattle!! They really have so many cheap/cute things. I totally got re-inspired to try futons again when I watched your recent home tour with Japanese futons :) I saw on your Instagram you uploaded a new video, gonna watch it in a bit - so exciting😇 Have a wonderful day! Xx♥️
Cada ves que veo tus vídeos siempre más minimalista eres y eso me gusta mucho eres un ejemplo para mi.un saludo desde Alemania soy Simona ya te sigo da mucho tiempo
I'm a huge fan of minimalism videos although I'm not a minimalist myself. I'm more like a simplicist and essentialist, if it's even a thing. 😁 And I'm so happy I found your videos! You're soooo pretty and your English is easy to understand (not so fast for me). Keep posting good videos, please. Annyeong, Joy-a!
Hehe that's totally a thing! I think any amount of being mindful of possessions is great, no matter if we call it 'minimalism', 'essentialism', etc. :) Thank you so much for your comment, it's making my day! I'm glad you don't think I talk too fast because I think I do.. haha. I will keep making videos for amazing subscribers like you! You bring flowers of happiness ;) Have a beautiful day! Annyeong~!^^
Thank you so much! I’m glad my video can help with your decluttering process. It’s always so much fun to see how other people approach things like minimalism and decluttering. Have a great day😊🙏
It's much better for you than your previous house tour. Less space, more filled, even at same or less stuff you have. I'd even live myself in that as I'd need to donate and sell more. Right now there is no need, as my rent is cheap and I have 400 sq ft. If I move for less, there is usually much more rent in my area, so I stay in my cheap rent. Are you renting your house, how much rent?
Hi Rento! As much as I appreciate all the places I’ve lived, I do prefer having less things :) I think you’re being smart in keeping the rent low in a good area. It’s extra money you can save to put towards better investments/goals. My rent is around $400-$500, depending on utility usage, which I think is super affordable. How much is rent for you? Take care🙏😊
@@gallerybyjoy Hi, my rent is 500 dollars. I could lower it to 400 easily, but I'd need to over to less populated places of Finland. I prefer to live next to opportunities and in Finland this kind of a rent is really rare at these places. Most people here are "owning", but they are just renting it from their bank. Thank you, enjoy your house!
Hi :) all my clothes are in that white basket on top of my suitcases! Some summer clothes are in the rosegold suitcase. This would be a great video actually now that I think about it - thanks always!😇🙏
I love your place so much, it looks so minimal but comfy at the same time !!! I was just wondering where you got your foldable daybed from cos I'm looking for something similar?
Hiii Anastasiya! :) Thank you so much, I love how minimal and cozy it is too - though I do miss having a view and some privacy that highrises give…hehe. I actually got it from a local marketplace - but you can search for ‘japanese style futons’ to find something similar. Hope it helps! ♥️
Nice apartment! I moved to a new apartment and it is very similar to yours but it's also very messy right now :D I feel like I need to get some plants to liven up the place, but I'm so lazy so probably wont happen haha. My number 1 reason to having less things is because it makes cleaning super fast and easy.
Haha hi, yes I am all about things being low maintenance and easy to clean, so I relate 100% 😆 Thanks & congrats on moving into a new place! Have a great day~
Idk if you are against overconsumption, so it may not fit you, but there are few items which can be switched to reusable (for example, instead of toilet paper for the kitchen, a washable cloth or an old T-shirt would do the job and cut your expense even more, also, it would take less space than the entire tube of paper toilet. It seems like the razor is a disposable one, there are reusable ones (which you only need to change the blade) and electric ones, which don't need to be changed (again, more of a cost thing in the long run) Same with the disposable sponge, there are washable version of it. Also, there are multifunctional bar soap, which can be used for body and hair, if you want to give it a shot. I guess you reuse the disposable bag ? GG for the minimalism !
Hi, thank you for such a detailed thoughful comment! :) I'm definitely interested in combating overconsumption if possible, so it's always nice to see others who do as well. I like the idea of using reusable cloth for cleaning! I guess I could wash the rag after each use. Only thing is, I have a skin condition on my hands that make my skin crack up badly if I touch water too often. That's why I avoid handwashing anything, and I don't wash rags in washing machine because I also have to do work laundry in there as well. I do try to limit using too much toilet paper by using my blow dryer to collect dirt in one corner & only use toilet paper to grab the dirt. I can always use my kitchen gloves to wash the rags though, although it seems a bit daunting at the moment, I'll definitely consider it, thanks! As far as razor goes, I don't know if electric one can be used in certain areas of the body. I wonder if replaceable blades are any more environmentally friendly than the razor I use now. My sponge is reusable :) I did try to use multipurpose soap before! I talked about it in some of the earliest videos. I have to use disposable garbage bags that I purchase, because it's part of our garbage disposal law here. Hope I cleared up some of the things you were wondering. Again, thank you for suggestions & hope you continue to enjoy videos on our channel :) Cheers!
I think you will need a regular chair n regular folding table to stretch your knee right. It will be too much bending om your knee not to have a chair n table. Just a suggestion . I guessed because I have a bad knee on the left side. .
Hi :) Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t have great knees either(too much running and standing😅), so I know what you mean. That being said, I rarely sit around at home. I do love a good couch though so who knows maybe someday I’ll have furnitures again. Have a great day😇
Hello Joy! I am new to your channel and I must say that you are amazing! You are so organized and positive....you shine your light to your viewers! I would like to see a video on purdging clothes ( without indecision and guilt.. which is me!) Thank you for your kind guidance!!
Hi Maureen♥️ My, what a wonderful compliment, thank you so much! :) I will be sure to make a video soon about purging clothes with less guilt for you, stay tuned🥰 (p.s. that’s a beautiful last name🌹). Have a wonderful day!😇🙏
Hi Missy Fox! 🤗 I’ve not even thought about my bathroom tiles, so cool you noticed them & love them! I gotta look at them closely when I get home today.. hehe. Thanks & have a great day!❤️
Hi! Thank you😇 This seems to be the common sentiment among people who are married and/or with kids, so you are not alone. I’ll make a video talking about this soon :) Have a wonderful day💜
Thank you!! I know many folks have asked me for the purchase info but I got it from a local traditional marketplace T_T....I think you can search for 'floor bed' or 'japanese futon' to get similar designs :)
Does the fridge make a lot of noise? That would be my one problem having the fridge in the living space as the noise would irritate me., shame it doesn't fit into the kitchen.
Hi Cindy! Ah yes, honestly it is difficult to be as minimal as we’d like if you’re living with someone else who’s not a minimalist. One trick is to create your own ‘bubble’, by challenging yourself to be as minimalist as you can be with your belongings and routines without expecting anyone else to change/join you. That’s a lot more difficult but also quite freeing when you realize you can be 100% yourself regardless of others’ willingness to help. You can do it❤️🔥 Wishing you the best luck xx😇
There’s a shower head in the bathroom, it’s funny because another subscriber also asked this question in one of my recent hometours too🤣 I forget to film it, because the showerhead is mounted higher up on the left side of the wall 🤭
I feel like minimalism has just become an aesthetic so now I see house decor with a bunch of stuff that are white and they call it minimalism. So this video is refreshing
Hi, thank you :) Yes minimalism is much more than aesthetics, although one can indeed practice minimalism when it comes to aesthetics too! Have a great day😊
I could - except I don’t want to buy a big furniture like that then have to worry about moving it when it’s time to go. I did buy a ‘furniture’ recently, you can look for that video title in my latest videos🤗
That was such a nice minimal apartment and lifestyle! Thank you for sharing it with us. Do you think you will be changing to dressers/boxes for the clothes or will you continue with the suitcases?
Thanks! :) I actually added a clothes rack to my 'furnitures' for wardrobe, but ended up keeping off-season clothes still in the suitcase! Clothes I do wear regularly are on a small clothes rack and a basket these days. You can check 'em out in my latest videos :) Have a great day!
Hi Grace! Actually it's cool you asked about my bowl - because I wanted to talk about how it fell apart a bit when I kept it in water for some time. Anyways, it's around 20-25cm in diameter :) I'd recommend getting a bowl that can serve both as a place and a soup bowl - and big enough for the dish you'll most likely eat in it. Hope it helps!
Interesting to see a small apartment in Korea. Is there a lot of problems with bugs there? As I have seen many videos that talk about spraying, bug bombs etc. You must have a market close by to buy food you need quickly? What do you eat for breakfast/ lunch. Do you drink tea or coffee? You have no utensils for making those. I could live in a shoe box, as long as I had a coffee maker :)
Hi~ No problem with bugs as of yet :) Yes I have some videos that talk about how I eat & living close to the market. I do drink a lot of coffee but only at work. I talk about the coffee machine briefly in my most recent live video. Couldn't agree more about the coffee :) Have a great day!
I really like the simplicity and how you did downsize to essential. I am on my minimalist journey as well, since I was 15 actually (I am 30 y.o. now). There is only one thing I feel I need to point out. Not as a critique, just trying to challenge you even more (if that is possible). Do you think it would be achievable for you to reduce your non-organic trash? I saw some disposable items and plastic packages, so I was wondering if that would be a goal for you as well. Thank you.
That's amazing!! You've been a minimalist for so long, I can only imagine how much it benefited you in your life :) Yes, I do want to get closer to zero waste living eventually and reduce non-organic trash. However, my goals of minimalism & where I am at the moment make things bit difficult to do that. For once, I must cut down my spending to keep my business afloat, while not compromising on my health or waste time - the best option for me at this time is buying packaged rice. I think none of us can be perfect at all times, and I like to tackle the biggest challenges I have at the time first before I try to focus on being less wasteful. Thanks for reminding me where I could improve even further :) have a great day! xox
@@gallerybyjoy Thank you so much for answering me! 😍 I feel you on the expenses and time management for sure. Also, it is not as easy to do as it may seem, right?! I started my minimalism path mainly because I was dealing with mental health issues since I was a child. I found the concept in a magazine and it made total sense to me because I needed clarity, decluttering my thoughts, so doing this kind of intervention first in my space (at the time, only my bedroom) had a great impact. But like you said, nobody is perfect, so it has been a journey with ups and downs for me. Thanks a million! ☺🤍
@@maggiemargaridaapolinario6098 I looove your comment Maggie! Yes! It’s a constant maintenance when it comes to time/expenses management - but that’s why it’s also wonderful because in life we can always work on being better every day! Not a single dull moment hehe😁 I can relate to you to some degree Maggie! I know just how much minimalism can help us with our mental state in general - like you said, more space and more clarity😇 Im happy to hear that you have been on this journey and that at least you started with your bedroom - sometimes even working on decluttering even a smaller space can offer so much relief! I have nothing but respect & love for you sharing your story, thank you!! Hope you keep going and wish you continuous growth in your life! :) xxoo🤗🤍
Hi!! This is bought from a local traditional market so I dont think they sell it online🥲 what you could do is actually search for a ‘floor bed’ or ‘futon’ and try to find a similar item. Thanks for commenting 😊
WOW very simple and minimal lifestyle. Where do you got your blanket? Like the points pattern. Enjoy watching videos like this to inspire my downsizing journey to less. Blessings from Germany
haha that mattress is so popular - everyone's been asking where got it! I got it from a local traditional market here in Korea, so idk where to find exact copy :/ I recommend searching for 'floor futon', 'floor matress' for online shopping and you may find something similar. Hope that helps! ^_^
I would love to live like this. But I have a scarcity mindset. I'm a low income person and am having a hard time letting go of stuff in case I need it. Things are expensive right now in my country and I don't always have extra money to replace stuff after bills.
@@katybileto4382 Hi Katy! I understand that so much!! I think it’s perfectly normal to want to keep things around just in case. As you said if things are expensive in your country then it makes more sense to buy in bulk & keep stuff you have. I think you have right mindset as you are looking into minimalism :) if you watch more of my videos you will see that I actually believe in everyone’s lifestyle being diverse & minimalism should serve and support your life, not the other way around🤗 Thank you for sharing your story, I hope minimalism can help encoursge you to continur to design a life you want. Best of luck with everything & have a great day!☀️
@gallerybyjoy thank you joy. I absolutely love your channel/ videos and will continue to watch. Maybe eventually I'll let go of my scarcity mindset and fear of not having enough and can live a more simple life.
@katybileto4382 Thank you so much Katy! I just saw notification for your comment right now for some reason hehe. You will be able to overcome scarcity mindset if you keep working on it, I promise. Small progress is still progress! Hugs😊
I have now got to a point where most is minimalised. Now I go day by day and everything I touch I ask, "do I need this?" If not it is moved out of my life - thrown away, sold, donated. Anything I have not touched in one year - the same.
Hi Carl, that's wonderful to hear! I should do the same actually, if we pause to ask ourselves - REALLY ask - "do I need this?" more often than not, the answer is "No" actually. I'm glad you're already exercising in this regard. Have a great day! :)
@@gallerybyjoy - you too. Thank you for your replies. It is wonderful to realise - gentle positive communication costs nothing, uses no plantetary resources and builds so much positivity.
Oh I love this question - I prefer the view and overall feel of my first place a lot! I like this place because it has less non-fixable issues like broken tiles/window(giving me less subconscious stress) Also, I love how this place is so affordable that I can save money for my other important goals. In a way not one place is better than the other, so I’d say I’m perfectly happy to be here😇 Thanks for a great question! Have a nice day🙏
Hi :) Thank you so much for your kind words as well as constructive feedback! I’ve definitely improved sound quality of these hometours & always experimenting with editing(you can check out the most recent hometour I posted and could you maybe also give me some feedback there?). Have a wonderful rest of the week😊💜
I ordered a lot of delivery food but thesedays I do cook at home :) I have an umbrella in my backpack. Check out the latest videos I uploaded and you’ll have the answers! Thanks👍🤝
Oh! Those suitcases and white basket are my closet - yes I have so little clothes😂 Check out the video I posted right after this one to see my ‘closet’. Have a good one! :)
Truthfully, I believe minimalism can definitely have a positive impact in all areas of life, not just in a material sense. I'm also working on a minimalist diet, fitness routine and my work. Nice and simple apartment.
I couldn’t agree more :) That’s great you are working on applying minimalism to every other aspect of your life!
And thank you. Have a great day!🤗

I addressed this very thing you’re talking about in my ‘Messy Minimalist Home’, check that out😄
As far as the towel is concerned, try looking into 100% cotton towels. Not bulky, fast drying, and lightweight.
Yeah! Due to having eczema, 100% cotton usually is best for me :)

One trick is to create your own ‘bubble’, by challenging yourself to be as minimalist as you can be with your belongings and routines without expecting anyone else to change/join you. That’s a lot more difficult but also quite freeing when you realize you can be 100% yourself regardless of others’ willingness to help. You can do it❤️🔥 Wishing you the best luck xx😇
Thank you for your video! Could you tell me how you shower?
There’s a shower head in the bathroom, it’s funny because another subscriber also asked this question in one of my recent hometours too🤣 I forget to film it, because the showerhead is mounted higher up on the left side of the wall 🤭
I feel like minimalism has just become an aesthetic so now I see house decor with a bunch of stuff that are white and they call it minimalism. So this video is refreshing
Hi, thank you :) Yes minimalism is much more than aesthetics, although one can indeed practice minimalism when it comes to aesthetics too! Have a great day😊
I wish I could live like this! Having a husband and kids makes it difficult but I try! Lol. Great video! Subscribed :)
Hi Carly
Amo tus videos y amo tu casa 😊
Graciassss :) Have a lovely day!
I want one too, in the future.. keep going on producing..
Thanks! Good luck to you!
You could buy a closet unit to store your suitcases/backpack.
I could - except I don’t want to buy a big furniture like that then have to worry about moving it when it’s time to go. I did buy a ‘furniture’ recently, you can look for that video title in my latest videos🤗
Thank you for sharing. Just curious how you wash your hair and shower?
Thanks! I do have a bathroom if you watch more :)
That was such a nice minimal apartment and lifestyle! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Do you think you will be changing to dressers/boxes for the clothes or will you continue with the suitcases?
Thanks! :)
I actually added a clothes rack to my 'furnitures' for wardrobe, but ended up keeping off-season clothes still in the suitcase!
Clothes I do wear regularly are on a small clothes rack and a basket these days. You can check 'em out in my latest videos :)
Have a great day!
Trying to get a wooden bowl so wonder what's the diameter of your bowl?
Hi Grace! Actually it's cool you asked about my bowl - because I wanted to talk about how it fell apart a bit when I kept it in water for some time. Anyways, it's around 20-25cm in diameter :) I'd recommend getting a bowl that can serve both as a place and a soup bowl - and big enough for the dish you'll most likely eat in it. Hope it helps!
Love it🌹
Interesting to see a small apartment in Korea. Is there a lot of problems with bugs there? As I have seen many videos that talk about spraying, bug bombs etc. You must have a market close by to buy food you need quickly? What do you eat for breakfast/ lunch. Do you drink tea or coffee? You have no utensils for making those. I could live in a shoe box, as long as I had a coffee maker :)
Hi~ No problem with bugs as of yet :) Yes I have some videos that talk about how I eat & living close to the market. I do drink a lot of coffee but only at work. I talk about the coffee machine briefly in my most recent live video. Couldn't agree more about the coffee :) Have a great day!
I really like the simplicity and how you did downsize to essential. I am on my minimalist journey as well, since I was 15 actually (I am 30 y.o. now). There is only one thing I feel I need to point out. Not as a critique, just trying to challenge you even more (if that is possible). Do you think it would be achievable for you to reduce your non-organic trash? I saw some disposable items and plastic packages, so I was wondering if that would be a goal for you as well. Thank you.
That's amazing!! You've been a minimalist for so long, I can only imagine how much it benefited you in your life :)
Yes, I do want to get closer to zero waste living eventually and reduce non-organic trash.
However, my goals of minimalism & where I am at the moment make things bit difficult to do that. For once, I must cut down my spending to keep my business afloat, while not compromising on my health or waste time - the best option for me at this time is buying packaged rice.
I think none of us can be perfect at all times, and I like to tackle the biggest challenges I have at the time first before I try to focus on being less wasteful.
Thanks for reminding me where I could improve even further :) have a great day! xox
@@gallerybyjoy Thank you so much for answering me! 😍 I feel you on the expenses and time management for sure. Also, it is not as easy to do as it may seem, right?!
I started my minimalism path mainly because I was dealing with mental health issues since I was a child. I found the concept in a magazine and it made total sense to me because I needed clarity, decluttering my thoughts, so doing this kind of intervention first in my space (at the time, only my bedroom) had a great impact. But like you said, nobody is perfect, so it has been a journey with ups and downs for me.
Thanks a million! ☺🤍
@@maggiemargaridaapolinario6098 I looove your comment Maggie!
Yes! It’s a constant maintenance when it comes to time/expenses management - but that’s why it’s also wonderful because in life we can always work on being better every day! Not a single dull moment hehe😁
I can relate to you to some degree Maggie! I know just how much minimalism can help us with our mental state in general - like you said, more space and more clarity😇
Im happy to hear that you have been on this journey and that at least you started with your bedroom - sometimes even working on decluttering even a smaller space can offer so much relief!
I have nothing but respect & love for you sharing your story, thank you!! Hope you keep going and wish you continuous growth in your life! :) xxoo🤗🤍
Hello from Brazil! What is the name of this bed? I am trying to buy one of those minimalists beds, but I am not finding them on the internet...
Hi!! This is bought from a local traditional market so I dont think they sell it online🥲 what you could do is actually search for a ‘floor bed’ or ‘futon’ and try to find a similar item. Thanks for commenting 😊
love it!!@!!!
Hehehe thank youu🥰🙏😇🥰
Your sweater is perfect!
Hehe I know right? I like it a lot, even though it was a total impulse/luck buy😇 Thank you so much! 🙏♥️
WOW very simple and minimal lifestyle. Where do you got your blanket? Like the points pattern.
Enjoy watching videos like this to inspire my downsizing journey to less. Blessings from Germany
Hiii danke! :) I got it from a chain mart called Emart in Korea ^^ Thank you so much & wish you the best in your downsizing journey🤗
Beautiful home
Thank you Loi🤍
I love how small and compact your kitchen is 😊
Thank you! I like my small kitchen too hehe
awesome apartment
Thanks! :) Have a wonderful year!
@@gallerybyjoy you 2
Cool 😎
Where did you get the mattress?
haha that mattress is so popular - everyone's been asking where got it! I got it from a local traditional market here in Korea, so idk where to find exact copy :/ I recommend searching for 'floor futon', 'floor matress' for online shopping and you may find something similar. Hope that helps! ^_^
I would love to live like this. But I have a scarcity mindset. I'm a low income person and am having a hard time letting go of stuff in case I need it. Things are expensive right now in my country and I don't always have extra money to replace stuff after bills.
@@katybileto4382 Hi Katy! I understand that so much!! I think it’s perfectly normal to want to keep things around just in case. As you said if things are expensive in your country then it makes more sense to buy in bulk & keep stuff you have. I think you have right mindset as you are looking into minimalism :) if you watch more of my videos you will see that I actually believe in everyone’s lifestyle being diverse & minimalism should serve and support your life, not the other way around🤗 Thank you for sharing your story, I hope minimalism can help encoursge you to continur to design a life you want. Best of luck with everything & have a great day!☀️
@gallerybyjoy thank you joy. I absolutely love your channel/ videos and will continue to watch. Maybe eventually I'll let go of my scarcity mindset and fear of not having enough and can live a more simple life.
@katybileto4382 Thank you so much Katy! I just saw notification for your comment right now for some reason hehe. You will be able to overcome scarcity mindset if you keep working on it, I promise. Small progress is still progress! Hugs😊
@@gallerybyjoy thank you for your kindness. 😄
Where do guests sit when they come?
I don’t usually have quests over🤭 But the ones who do come can sit on the bed/floor
A plant is nice at the bedroom
Can you link the bed?
I bought it from a local traditional market sorry 🥲 I know everyone asks me about it but I have no idea where they brought it from
Music far too loud! I had to turn the sound down, but then couldn't hear the commentary so well 🙁🙁
Oh my bad. I’ll edit better next time
İçim açıldı resmen ❤❤
Üzgünüm, yorumunuzun ne anlama geldiğinden emin değilim. Google çeviri yardımcı olmuyor.🥲
@@gallerybyjoy I wanted to say that as I watched the video. I felt relieved.İt was a very nice video 😍❤️🍒🌸
@@gallerybyjoy I watched many videos about minimalism from Turkish UA-camrs(İ'm Turkish) but I think your video was the one I liked the most.
Ahhh okay I see😊 Thank you SO much!! I’m happy to hear that you liked my video🥰💐 Have a wonderful weekend!! Teşekkür ederim❤️
I have now got to a point where most is minimalised. Now I go day by day and everything I touch I ask, "do I need this?" If not it is moved out of my life - thrown away, sold, donated. Anything I have not touched in one year - the same.
Hi Carl, that's wonderful to hear! I should do the same actually, if we pause to ask ourselves - REALLY ask - "do I need this?" more often than not, the answer is "No" actually. I'm glad you're already exercising in this regard. Have a great day! :)
@@gallerybyjoy - you too. Thank you for your replies. It is wonderful to realise - gentle positive communication costs nothing, uses no plantetary resources and builds so much positivity.
Nice place I could live here
Thanks! I like living here too haha. Have a great day😊🙏
good to have less things, like me. not all is needed. whats about plast?
Thanks! Having less stuff is the best :-)
Nice. Place. Do you like this place better than first place you upload on youtube ? :)
Oh I love this question - I prefer the view and overall feel of my first place a lot!
I like this place because it has less non-fixable issues like broken tiles/window(giving me less subconscious stress)
Also, I love how this place is so affordable that I can save money for my other important goals.
In a way not one place is better than the other, so I’d say I’m perfectly happy to be here😇
Thanks for a great question! Have a nice day🙏
Très inspirant ! :)
Merci🥰😇🤗
Hello ❤ un saludo grande y un abrazo
Muchas gracias, un saludo y un abrazo para ti tambien! ♥️
love how you talk and explain things. Just the music is too loud for me, would rather have it simple and concentrate on your voice and what you say
Hi :) Thank you so much for your kind words as well as constructive feedback! I’ve definitely improved sound quality of these hometours & always experimenting with editing(you can check out the most recent hometour I posted and could you maybe also give me some feedback there?). Have a wonderful rest of the week😊💜
What do eat no food,also no bag or umbrella ?😮
I ordered a lot of delivery food but thesedays I do cook at home :) I have an umbrella in my backpack. Check out the latest videos I uploaded and you’ll have the answers! Thanks👍🤝
Why is the music soo loud?
Take a guess!
Türkçe altyazılı olmasını isterdim 🇹🇷
Hi~ :) Otomatik İngilizce altyazıları vardır. Ama üzgünüm Türkçe bilmiyorum. Yine de izlediğiniz için teşekkürler!🙏
👍🙌👍🙌👍🙌👍🙌
😇♥️😇♥️😇
Minor correction, Diaso is Japanese.
Oh right! Thanks😊
Closet please
Oh! Those suitcases and white basket are my closet - yes I have so little clothes😂 Check out the video I posted right after this one to see my ‘closet’. Have a good one! :)
Hello sweetie, I don't know how environmental is the bio kill :(
Yeahh wish bugs didn’t bite but c’est la vie!
You don't need a razor (now there is a challenge for you!)
Haha I disagree - I do like shaving. Maybe someday I will declutter it, we'll see. Thanks for suggestion though
@@gallerybyjoy - you are welcome
Ily
Right back at youu🥰😇
10:06 you have a ghost in the room

한국에사세요??
저는 단순함을 좋아합니다
Simple life is great! :)
Like a prison cell.
You must be one of those obsessed unchosen incels pretending to me a woman🤭
to be* oopsy😂
How can I contact with you? What is your email?
I don’t feel comfortable handing out contact info. Thanks!
☺Yay I'm so happy for you ! I love the new place 💗 also do you have an Instagram account?
Hii :) Thank you so much! You’re always so kind💜 Yes I do have instagram, it’s @gallerybyjoy 😇 Have a great day!
