Altho I like this video I think its a lil unrealistic for most ppl - no TV, airpods, no drinking or eating out. Its refreshing to see that you seem happy with this very grounded lifestyle. Keep doing yo thing!
Amazing video, great information, you have great pace/volume/speed/accurscy when you speak, pleasant voice, you are pretty, authentic, engaging and genuine, thanks for sharing of yourself to the world:)
Instead of getting traditional souvenirs, when I’ve traveled I’ve gone to local thrift stores and gotten a piece of clothing or home decor second hand, and instead of clutter I have items I actually use/wear and remember the story of
I agreed on 100% of your things until I had children. In school, they only allow plastic containers because of accidents with glass. Also, a TV is an essential thing here. I have an autistic son and he calms down with some shows. I think that children are a big game changer when you want to be a minimalist!
I kept my small toaster oven and got rid of the toaster. Its not so big as to be cumbersome and take too much space on my kitchen counter. I use it far more than a regular toaster. I can do more bread to toast, single pizzas, and other several things than a toaster. It is a multi task multi use for many things versus just a toast a slice of bread. I dont keep 1 use item, its multi tasking or its not in my kitchen.
Multitask machines are the best! I literally don’t have space in my kitchen for either one and i don’t have a ton of storage space either, so i just choose not to buy a toaster or toaster oven. Thanks for watching!
Interesting video. I understand your mindset, but I'm definitely not aligned with it. I have so many 'time wasting' activities that bring joy, community and are affordable. Videogames are a great example. I have one game that cost around $15 and I've played for hundreds of hours with my husband and friends. I'm also an animator for games, so I'm a little biased on media 😅 Totally agree about clothes and anything 'trendy'. I think a simple question to ask with any purchase is 'why am I buying this?". Is it for image or is it practical? Anyway, thanks for the perspective!
Thanks for watching! I don’t expect anyone to align with my lifestyle choice… it’s not an easy one lol. But I agree that it is all about what brings you joy!
The only things I own in this list are air fryer , my husband and our oldest love fried stuff and I wanted to try to make it healthier, but it was a flop because they prefer fried in the pan anyway, so I somewhat regret buying it but we still use it daily as my husband defrosts bread in it daily (less electricity than the oven). Second, not sure if relevant to that list (because single use kitchen ustensilt), a peeler. I use it for more than just skin removal though, I got rid of my spiralizer and now use the peeler to make vegetable "pastas". Then I have two subscribtions that are linked to work, my husband and I are musicians and my husband regularly has gigs where he plays solo with background chords or drums to music for workshops (basically he´s his own DJ) and for that he needs illimited mobile data and youtube premium...
You totally have valid reasons to have what you have, especially since you use them. I have a peeler too but I’ll need to learn how to spiralize vegetables like you do, that’s a great idea! And i have a background as a musician too so I totally get that you need subscriptions and such for your work. Thank you for sharing your perspective and for watching my video. 😊
Its always weird to me when people don't watch tv, listen to music and don't play games. Like what the heck do you do for down time. I get in another video you said you had a side hustle business, but for someone like me who doesn't want to work / be productive every single second they are awake, its just strange. Vibing to music, especially while working out and playing games are my main hobbies. Secondary things would be watching anime on my phone / tablet and reading on my kindle. Every time I see minimalist videos it feels like they all have the opinion that any time you're not working or focused on some sort of political movement for "the betterment of the planet" you're wasting time.
I get asked this question all the time, what I do since I don’t have a TV. I spend so much time in front of a computer with work and business, I don’t want to spend downtime in front of the screen. I read a lot of books, do outdoor activities, grow plants on my balcony garden, mess around on my drums and guitar, I can go on and on. But of course, I occasionally watch my favorite UA-camrs or documentaries on UA-cam if I feel like watching something. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned on my UA-cam channel that I’m all about being productive all the time. I try my best to maintain balance.
What a strange question to ask when there are a million things one can do with their spare time. Did you know that all these audiovisual entertainment you mention did not exist some decades ago? How old are you?
using you oven to toast or warm up stuff doesn't save money lol I'm not saying you need a toaster or a toaster oven but you are definitely not saving money by replacing either with your oven.
If your every video is very demanding and deserves lots of organic results. You need proper on-page and off-page SEO and optimization.I can explain or show you where to update it and how to solve it professionally. Do you know about SEO and how to work it for top search results?
I think it’s cool that you have trimmed down your lifestyle but I think this video sounds a bit judgemental of people who do buy all those things. You kept referencing all these people you know who buy the thins you don’t want -- I’d be concerned that these friends and acquaintances of yours watched this video and had their feelings hurt by some of your comments.
All I do in my videos is share one perspective based on my personal experiences, and the things I say should never be taken personally. I have told my coworker to her face, who does Botox and have lip fillers, what I think of it, and she didn’t take it personally. She laughed, even joked about how her forehead doesn’t move, and all is well at the end of the day.😉
Yes! NOW I know that I am not the only one in the world that finds Alexa creepy... hahaha
Omg yes it’s sooo creepy! When i dog sit for my brother, i unplug his Alexa’s lolol
@@JoanQuinto lolol

Thanks for watching! It is a lifestyle that I chose that not everyone can get accustomed to. But we all have our versions of minimalism. :)
I don't have a TV, drink or have air pods. So there's more people like you than you'd think
I don’t have a car and can walk to work so I can save a lot of money in that category but pay for other things like eating out.
I love my toast. When the toaster is cool, I just put it away in the cupboard.
Thanks for watching! Maybe when i have a bigger kitchen, i can make space for one hehe.
Amazing video, great information, you have great pace/volume/speed/accurscy when you speak, pleasant voice, you are pretty, authentic, engaging and genuine, thanks for sharing of yourself to the world:)
Thank you for the kind words 😊

Those are great ideas too! Useful souvenirs. Thanks for watching!
You are incredibly intelligent. I think your husband is very fortunate to have found you.
Aww thank you! 😊
Hi Joan 😊 where would you look for sustainable clothing? This is something I'm wanting to do but not sure where to look.
I agreed on 100% of your things until I had children. In school, they only allow plastic containers because of accidents with glass. Also, a TV is an essential thing here. I have an autistic son and he calms down with some shows. I think that children are a big game changer when you want to be a minimalist!
Absolutely, circumstances change and adjusting is a must. Thanks so much for watching!
You are me and I am you😂 I just love to keep things simple

I agree on the TV. However Toaster ovens can be really helpful if you're just looking to warm something real quick.
Thanks for watching! Toaster ovens take up space in my tiny kitchen.
I’m pretty aligned with all of these and do t have all of these either. However, I will say clothing is my weakness and I’m working on that!
Thanks for watching! I feel you though, I’ve been decluttering my old clothes regularly and I’m always tempted to replace them!

Hi there, how’s it going great sharing. Very interesting. O wow. Excellent sharing
Thanks for watching!
Im pretty much with you on everyday except for water bottles and video games
Absolutely, we all have different lifestyles and minimalism looks different for everyone. Thanks so much for watching!
I really agree with you. Less is better and Def easier to clean
and find what you look for. 😂
Yess! Less time doing silly things like looking for misplaced stuff and cleaning. 😂 Thanks for watching!
I don’t own a television, microwave or clothes dryer. The dishwasher is broken and I use it for a drainer.
If you don’t need it, you don’t need it! I have not had a TV for over 10 years now. And I hate dishwashers lol. Thanks for watching!

Except for the smart watch , watched an episode on crime investigation the smart watch the victim wears helped solve the case.
You had me until the no facial cleanser LOL I wish but my skin would break out so bad
Fortunately my skin seems to do fine with just oatmilk bar soap lol. Thanks for watching!
Wowser 😮
Oh my if I washed my face with bar soap my skin would be sooo irritated 😢😢 you’re lucky bar soap works for you!
I use an oat milk soap that’s pretty gentle on the skin. :)
I heard young people think it's gross
i use my air fryer as a toaster haha
Good idea! Thanks for watching!
love your videos >>>Auto Subscribe 🤩
Aww thank you so much! I appreciate you being here 😊
My new oven has an air fryer
Multifunction is the best! Thanks for watching!
I suffer from eczema so I need medicated ointments and moisturizers.

Agreed to all of these!! Still poor though lol 😂😂
Thanks for watching! Don’t say that, you will make it through! We all can figure this rat race out! 😉
using you oven to toast or warm up stuff doesn't save money lol
I'm not saying you need a toaster or a toaster oven but you are definitely not saving money by replacing either with your oven.
Thanks for watching! The toaster is in regards to not having to buy them and also not having that extra clutter in my small kitchen. ;)
Smart watches are dumb ( it expects me to recharge it?!).
😂

Thanks.
I hope your moisturizer has sunscreen in it.
Absolutely!
