Definitely get a new vinyl player. The point of minimalism is to have the things that bring you joy and serve you. You said it yourself that you love music! ❤
I'd get another vinyl player! 😁 I have been a minimalist for over 20 years and one of the things I like most about it is how much more I enjoy the few things I keep!
I live in the U.S. and I quit buying breakfast cereals. They were expensive and loaded with additives and empty calories. I seldom buy any prepackaged foods at all and i've saved a lot of money!
Totally agree with fabric softener! Nobody needs something like that. For me, it's a completely superfluous product - bad for the environment, bad for the washing machine and bad for your clothes. Apart from that, there is nothing that smells better to me than laundry that has been dried in the sun.
How can you keep clothes and towels soft without using fabric softener, I use fragrance free one, I honestly wish I could skip this step but my clothes get static when I do so and my towels get rough, Please help : )
I have lovely paper calendars that bring me joy! I use them over and over…you need 6 or 7 total, even for leap years, when you might start with one and switch to another on March 1. Ignore the year!
Minimalism is about focusing on what is important to us. Music has been and still is a huge part of my life and I don't plan on letting go of my turntable and lp's. My vote is to replace the turntable. Also congratulations on quitting smoking. Best decision ever!
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Firstly, very well done for giving up smoking (it's one of the best things I ever did, for both my health & my pocket) & secondly, without question, buy a new turntable!!!
8:30 Get another vinyl player! The beauty of having physical media is that YOU have control on what you curate and own. I almost sold my turntables and records (former DJ) when I was decluttering. What stopped me in the end was the realisation that many of the records I currently own that are close to me are either not available on these music streaming platforms or they can be removed at anytime and you can't do anything about it. Yet you're paying a subscription to listen to it. Many people are realising its not worth paying monthly, so there has been a resurgence of buying physical media which is starting to drive the prices of this classic technology up. My turntables are worth more now second-hand than when I bought them new 20 years ago.
I also quit smoking this year. I also quit energy drinks and fast food like mcdonalds. It got too convenient when tired from work but wasnt helping with the fatigue long term.
This whole video is so relatable, this is exactly how I've been living my life in the past decades. I'm planning to retire around 50 and live off the money I've saved up. 😁
Massive one you don’t mention is alcohol. Another is, when you do need to replace an electrical item, such as a washing machine, go for a basic one without all the fancy additional features x
Quitting drinking also has a similar financial benefit. 😊 also, best thing about making your own cleaning products is that you can instantly refill a spray bottle and never have to worry about running out in the middle of cleaning.
Good on you for quitting smoking. Find another vinyl player. It brings you joy. Plus it’s cheaper to own physical media than subscriptions and you own it instead of leasing it. As a book and music lover this is something I struggle with as well.
Definitely do what’s true to you. This video feels like a breath of fresh air for me, setting an intention and be real about it. Thank you for sharing!
For your hair get balayage less often. Twice a year is great, spring you get full balayage and fall you get face framing and bigger sections in between the spring ones. My take as a hairstylist.
Great video. I'm on a no buy for clothes, shoes, handbags and jewelry. I gave up an expensive Starbucks habit years ago. I have a multi use old fashioned looking piece that pla6s radio, vinyl, cassettes and CD's. Don't use it much because Netflix is my new addiction.
I stopped reading actual books, and that was the biggest mistake I’ve made. I’m going to invest in getting books again because there’s nothing like happening in your hand and stimulating your brain so that one for me was actually my mistake to give up
If quitting a habit feels hard and you keep falling doing it again. Just don’t stop. For example I used to smoke a lot. I did try to quit many times, but couldn’t. Then I made a decision that I won’t ever quit it again. I just decide not to smoke this one occasion. So I can smoke if I want, but I just decide not to. So I’m still smoker, but I have decided not to smoke for over 14 years. First 5-10 years were harder, but I still managed to get through them without smoking. For me this goes with everything.
Yes, I very much agree with this! I'm just not successful when I tell myself I can't ever do something again. It's too restrictive and I will sabotage myself. I used to smoke all the time, and about 5 years back, I chose not to smoke this one time, and the next time, and so on. Gradually, the time since my last cigarette got longer and longer, but I still carried a pack and a lighter on me, should I decide to. The day I threw out a mostly-full pack, which had gotten crushed and stale from living in my purse for an entire year, was the day I knew I had taken back control. So yeah, I allow myself to smoke, I just rarely ever do it.
I am a musician. And although I tend to be quite minimal, I will never not collect my music scores and music books. They bring me joy. If you feel the same way about your vinyls. If they are not just for decor, and you actually listen to them and appreciate them, then I think I you should get a new one!
Congratulations on quitting smoking! 🚭 Most of these are things I've done all my life. However, if you have a collection you love, that brings great memories or happy thoughts don't let being a minimalist stop you. Thankfully my collection is small, I've collected pressed pennies for years and love being able to go back and remember where I was when I made the pressed penny or the person who thought of me when they saw a pressed penny machine and brought it back to me. As for your vinyls put them in a closet for a few months, if you miss them keep them, if you've forgotten them sell them.
I don't buy clothes or shoes other than underwear. If you take care of your clothes and shoes and they are of good quality, they will last a very long time. I don’t buy new dishes, I have enough of them and I simply don’t need new ones (although sometimes I go to such stores and look at beautiful plates, but that’s where it all ends). Instead of a bunch of cosmetics, I now only buy good quality skincare products, because... I have rosacea. I haven't bought souvenirs for a very long time. And I stopped (almost) buying indoor flowers; if I want new ones, I exchange them with other flower girls. What I haven’t stopped buying yet are self-education courses, quality food and water, skincare products. If I were you, I'd buy a new record player. This is your passion. It brings you pleasure.
Hi Irina! I would say self-education courses, quality food and water isn't really a spent but a great investment. I'm with you and I would do the same 🧘♀️ Thank you for your insightful comment 🥰
Congratulations on quitting smoking! My vote is to sell your vinyl. A really good upgrade for music to my ear is speakers with wooden housing. Hard to find, but the sound is warmer.
Fabric softener also decreases the lifespan of a lot of fabrics so it's a double whammy. I would say though unless a mattress is designed to sit on the floor (most western ones are not) a proper bedframe extends it's lifespan by several years. Apparently it causes it to sink more rapidly and keeping it on the floor will often void the warranty!
As a mother of 4 I do most of these, apart from what I need as a parent. I need a car, a dryer when kids are sick and we need to wash and dry sheets and blankets. We have an iron and ironing board for my teenage sons and husband. I still have my hair straightener but won’t replace it. I cut my hair but my kids go to a barber. I try not to buy them junky toys. We do have Netflix and Disney for the kids. All the rest, I do in our home.
Thanks for this very helpful video. Keep your vinyl, get a new player. I honestly think music sounds so much better on vinyl. Congratulations on quitting smoking. I gave up smoking many years ago (coffee got me through!). I have recently given up buying convenience & processed food - I try to cook from scratch now. Best wishes from Sydney Australia
You are a joy to watch, and inspiring. I am working on a more simple life. Going thru my things and getting rid if items I don't need. Thanks, Theresa from California
I’m getting rid of so much stuff right now and losing patience with marketplace waiting to get rid of it. Ut be piles up so it’s stalling my getting rid of stuff. So much stuff is from hubby bringing it from other places as it was given to him or his bad shopping habit. Great for you to have quit smoking. It’s been 10 years for me and it was death waiting to happen.
Ever considered henna to dye your hair? I'm practically 100% grey now and I used to dye my hair with chemical colors, but lately I started losing a lot of hair and it was really damaged also. So I decided to try henna and oh my god, I will never go back! Since the first application, it did really good to my hair, which is now much thicker and very shiny. I've been using it for almost 2 years now and my hair thanks me! Yes, it takes much longer but it's so worthy, and it's much more environmentally friendly. I truly recommend it.
Great list. Enjoy your vinyls! You love it. Check buy nothing or used to see if you can get lp player. Most I do but loved cloth towels, things on sale, out to eat and drink unless it's a cultural or live music event. Smoking is a HUGE savings especially in the US
Organic is not a marketing scam, it contains less pesticides and doesn't produce as much vegetables (for example) as non organic, which is why the price is higher. Buying organic is better for the environment and our health. That being said not everyone can afford to buy everything organic, including myself.
There are places where you can get organic products that taste so much better than their non-organic counterparts, such as farmer's markets or the producers themselves.
Hey, horticulturalist here. Organic containing less pesticides is actually a common misconception. Organic labelling has no regulation on pesticide amounts, just that only organic pesticides are used. Organic agriculture uses around the same amount of pesticides as conventional agriculture, and often organic pesticides are worse for the environment because they are not selective and will kill everything rather than only target species.
more than organic, I prefer to buy from my local farmers at the farmers market, i do believe this makes a huge difference. Farmers market produce tastes a trillion times better.
For the record player. Have you look to see if any store near you offers repair services? I find some tasks to be easier to do for me when I have the option of music. Like taking a bath or washing dishes. So If vinal music brings you joy, then get out an replace or repair your player so you can get back to enjoy the small things again :)
Definitely! But unfortunately because there aren't a lot of people specialised on it, especially in Portugal, the cost for fixing is much, much higher than replacing. There's of course the environmental impact to be considered here too but maybe a nice cozy cafe might use is for decor or someone for props. Loved the "for the record player" 😂 Thank you for the laugh!
@@BeaMinimalista I hope in the future that it will be easier and cheaper to repair our quality goods :) But until then, we can have a bit of fun (and a lot of frustration) trying to find the items that fit us the best. Good luck on your record player hunt
Great video- thankyou! I prefer ultrathin pads and period pants. I hate the feel of tampons! I only have 2 very small boxes and a bag of Christmas decorations. I love driving so car stays. 😊 You've given me food for thought though on how I can cut back.
Hello Bea! I just loved this new video, it's never cliché and the part about quitting smoking is so valuable, not every minimalist on the web speaks about this (and I watch a lot of videos about decluttering). It would be amazing to know your cleaning product recipe ;) Can't wait for the next video!!!! Great job!!!
Another vinyl player. It’s possible to buy second hand and imusic is naturally a great way to lower stress, increase oxytocin, dopamine,serotonin. Whilst sat here listening, I cleaned up my social media. I rarely use, and only keep it for managing a volunteers group. I did turn off all notifications to everything so the desire to see anything isn’t there. I also removed the icon from my screen, now I’ll need to go searching for it. I’m very intentional with my tv, not watching any. However I play games at times and use Netflix more than I now plan too. I’m happy to say I live very minimal. Your video on lowering sensory intake seeded this comment. Oh, I also deleted all my UA-cam history, so the algorithms will not present temptations. I’d love to see how you manage your finances, as in structure. How many accounts, how you track, what ways you keep that minimalist, like credit cards etc too. When you have free time and the temptation is to do screen time, do you have a list on the fridge of preplanned things to do so there’s no thought, just pic and do it? Love your videos.
Thank you so much Ruby! Such a nice comment and tip on UA-cam history! Gonna start doing that as well. Those are very relevant questions and I will try to answer them in future videos ✨ thank you for your feedback. It means a lot 🥰🍀
Thank you for video, I understand your struggle with vinyls. I myself torture between collecting new books for library (they might be sold out or get more expensive later.. so when I'll be old I'll just read them and give to my grandchildren 😅)... And being minimalist (books are bad for trees 🎄, I'll probably only read it once and then it will collect dust and occupie places, and they're hard and heavy for moving from one flat to other, I don't even have my own house 🏡...) So yeahh I'm torn appart and try to get some advices in minimalists videos 😅😊
I quit drinking alcohol 14 years ago, quit smoking 13 years ago and quit drinking coffee 2 years ago. I drink water or red tea (coffeinfree by nature) instead. I feel so free 🌿🌺 I have been a minimalist for 7 years. The sad thing is that my adult kids and my other relatives do not agree with me. They have turned their back on me.. think I am crazy. But I feel good anyway
It looks like you have been through quite the journey to intentionality. It's ok that not everyone sees things like we do. What matters is that we live a life that makes sense for us 🙏❤️
@@BeaMinimalista Yes. The attitude of my relatives/s k friends, made me buy ticket and book room in south Europe. Been out for 2 months, came back just to have a pointment with my doctor. Next month I travel south again - staying the winter season. All I ever own now, stays in 2 suitcases... Maybe getting rid of more stuff, before leaving
I love this video. I also do not buy 99% stuff from your video. I really need tampons. I cannot live without them 🙈🙈. I have capsule wardrobe so I do not buy clothes very often. I have a problem with grocery shopping. I will buy food for 7 days but...after dwo days I want to buy some snacks or takeout. After that I am angry about myself becouse I spent money for food I do not needed. 🙈.
Get the vynil player! As someone who declutterred all my records because of the “convenience” of new tech years ago, I’m now recollecting my records. Huge regret! Not to mention you never truly own the digital music or ebooks.
What I've discovered from this video is that Women live in a different world to men when it comes to stuff. I'm a 55 yo male and I'lve always lived like this.
Hi Bea, I jusr found your channel and loved it. Id like to know, you in another video that you used to work in marketing so what do you do now? Are you a full time content creator/youtuber or do you have another job? I just wonder because of your point about people usually cant sell their car that easily, becausr they have to go to work and dont do it from home. I really would love to sell my car, since most my expanses come from that, but its seems impossible when the office I work at is far aways from my house and the public transport here in my town (in Brazil) is terrible.
Your clip is on my feed randomly on the time I'm trying to declutter all my stuff.Your video makes inspiration! But only one thing I can't stop buying is Beer! hahaha :) .
First of all I loved your channel. +1 sub. Me and my wife are on the same vibe, when we moved to another country two years ago we packed everything in two bags each. Some things are harder and we tend to get attached, I used to have a 200 movies collection, it's kinda useless on those streaming days, so I got rid of it, it was like your vinyl's collection, at first I thought it would be harder but it wasn't. Almost forgot, congrats on quitting smoking 👏👏👏👏
How often did you listen to your vinyl before your player broke? If it was at least a few times a month, I would say replace it. If not, I might declutter your vinyl (although even just typing that hurts!).
🤔 What things did you stop buying and doing to save money? 💰👇
Buying Starbucks coffees
Giving up smoking is the best thing you’ve done for yourself. Congratulations 🎉.
Thank you so much! 🥰 It really was a hard one to declutter 🙃
That's a big one. Well done!❤
@@BeaMinimalistayou’re my best friend I really like you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@BeaMinimalistayou’re very pretty
I love the "storage bins are just coffins for your clutter" that's so real. Great video!
That may be easier where you don't have vast temperature fluctuations... in Canada we need winter clothes for real.
Definitely get a new vinyl player. The point of minimalism is to have the things that bring you joy and serve you. You said it yourself that you love music! ❤
Don't ever give up your records. You NEED your music!
Never 👩🎤
I'd get another vinyl player! 😁 I have been a minimalist for over 20 years and one of the things I like most about it is how much more I enjoy the few things I keep!
Minimalism doesn't mean you can't enjoy things you really love, so go ahead with that new player❤
That is very true 😌
I live in the U.S. and I quit buying breakfast cereals. They were expensive and loaded with additives and empty calories. I seldom buy any prepackaged foods at all and i've saved a lot of money!
That's a great one actually. I haven't quit but also replace almost entirely with other breakfast options.
Never get rid of things you love, replace your record player♥️ Greetings from a new subscriber and fellow music lover👋
Of course, if you love and use, keep it.
But... You can also love things without having to possess them 🤭😇 Just a thought.
Totally agree with fabric softener! Nobody needs something like that. For me, it's a completely superfluous product - bad for the environment, bad for the washing machine and bad for your clothes. Apart from that, there is nothing that smells better to me than laundry that has been dried in the sun.
Agree 😊😊
I use vinegar in my rinse cycle.
How can you keep clothes and towels soft without using fabric softener, I use fragrance free one, I honestly wish I could skip this step but my clothes get static when I do so and my towels get rough, Please help : )
Try adding baking soda to your wash cycle.
@@TammyB-x2h does it damages the machine? I had to replace it once before and its really expensive 😵💫
I have lovely paper calendars that bring me joy! I use them over and over…you need 6 or 7 total, even for leap years, when you might start with one and switch to another on March 1. Ignore the year!
Congratulations on stopping smoking. ❤️. I wish my mom had. She’d still be here with us.

Most of these are things I've done all my life. However, if you have a collection you love, that brings great memories or happy thoughts don't let being a minimalist stop you. Thankfully my collection is small, I've collected pressed pennies for years and love being able to go back and remember where I was when I made the pressed penny or the person who thought of me when they saw a pressed penny machine and brought it back to me.
As for your vinyls put them in a closet for a few months, if you miss them keep them, if you've forgotten them sell them.

I hope you got yourself a new (refurbished?) record player...! You deserve it. :)
For the record player. Have you look to see if any store near you offers repair services?
I find some tasks to be easier to do for me when I have the option of music. Like taking a bath or washing dishes. So If vinal music brings you joy, then get out an replace or repair your player so you can get back to enjoy the small things again :)
Definitely! But unfortunately because there aren't a lot of people specialised on it, especially in Portugal, the cost for fixing is much, much higher than replacing.
There's of course the environmental impact to be considered here too but maybe a nice cozy cafe might use is for decor or someone for props.
Loved the "for the record player" 😂 Thank you for the laugh!
@@BeaMinimalista I hope in the future that it will be easier and cheaper to repair our quality goods :) But until then, we can have a bit of fun (and a lot of frustration) trying to find the items that fit us the best. Good luck on your record player hunt
Money isn't the main driver for me just like you but I enjoy almost every thing you said and do it too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sue 🤍
Great video- thankyou! I prefer ultrathin pads and period pants. I hate the feel of tampons! I only have 2 very small boxes and a bag of Christmas decorations. I love driving so car stays. 😊 You've given me food for thought though on how I can cut back.
That's great! We should always have what brings us joy the most.
Happy that it gave you inspiration 🥰🥰
Buy another vinyl player. A good one is pure joy to listen to.
It's about using reason in the best way possible. Just a way of living intelligently.
🥰
4 years 4 months smoke free too. 🎉 congratulations!
That's amazing 🤩💪 congratulations on letting go of smoking too!
Thank you for these inspirational thoughts, minimalism at its best.
Hello Bea! I just loved this new video, it's never cliché and the part about quitting smoking is so valuable, not every minimalist on the web speaks about this (and I watch a lot of videos about decluttering). It would be amazing to know your cleaning product recipe ;) Can't wait for the next video!!!! Great job!!!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Uhh, that would be a cool idea for another video :)
Another vinyl player. It’s possible to buy second hand and imusic is naturally a great way to lower stress, increase oxytocin, dopamine,serotonin. Whilst sat here listening, I cleaned up my social media. I rarely use, and only keep it for managing a volunteers group. I did turn off all notifications to everything so the desire to see anything isn’t there. I also removed the icon from my screen, now I’ll need to go searching for it. I’m very intentional with my tv, not watching any. However I play games at times and use Netflix more than I now plan too. I’m happy to say I live very minimal. Your video on lowering sensory intake seeded this comment. Oh, I also deleted all my UA-cam history, so the algorithms will not present temptations. I’d love to see how you manage your finances, as in structure. How many accounts, how you track, what ways you keep that minimalist, like credit cards etc too. When you have free time and the temptation is to do screen time, do you have a list on the fridge of preplanned things to do so there’s no thought, just pic and do it? Love your videos.
Thank you so much Ruby! Such a nice comment and tip on UA-cam history! Gonna start doing that as well.
Those are very relevant questions and I will try to answer them in future videos ✨ thank you for your feedback. It means a lot 🥰🍀
Get another vinyl player. You can’t skip out on music. It’s so important in life.
Thank you for video, I understand your struggle with vinyls. I myself torture between collecting new books for library (they might be sold out or get more expensive later.. so when I'll be old I'll just read them and give to my grandchildren 😅)... And being minimalist (books are bad for trees 🎄, I'll probably only read it once and then it will collect dust and occupie places, and they're hard and heavy for moving from one flat to other, I don't even have my own house 🏡...)
So yeahh I'm torn appart and try to get some advices in minimalists videos 😅😊
I buy books I know I will want to read again (Carl Sagan. Doug Adams. Terry Pratchett!). Everything else comes from a library or doesn't get read.
I quit drinking alcohol 14 years ago, quit smoking 13 years ago and quit drinking coffee 2 years ago. I drink water or red tea (coffeinfree by nature) instead. I feel so free 🌿🌺
I have been a minimalist for 7 years. The sad thing is that my adult kids and my other relatives do not agree with me. They have turned their back on me.. think I am crazy. But I feel good anyway
It looks like you have been through quite the journey to intentionality. It's ok that not everyone sees things like we do. What matters is that we live a life that makes sense for us 🙏❤️
@@BeaMinimalista Yes. The attitude of my relatives/s k friends, made me buy ticket and book room in south Europe. Been out for 2 months, came back just to have a pointment with my doctor. Next month I travel south again - staying the winter season. All I ever own now, stays in 2 suitcases... Maybe getting rid of more stuff, before leaving
I’d buy another record player. So great listening to vinyl records!!
I love this video. I also do not buy 99% stuff from your video. I really need tampons. I cannot live without them 🙈🙈. I have capsule wardrobe so I do not buy clothes very often.
I have a problem with grocery shopping. I will buy food for 7 days but...after dwo days I want to buy some snacks or takeout. After that I am angry about myself becouse I spent money for food I do not needed. 🙈.
Get the vynil player! As someone who declutterred all my records because of the “convenience” of new tech years ago, I’m now recollecting my records. Huge regret! Not to mention you never truly own the digital music or ebooks.
congratulations on five year of smoke free!
Thank youuu 🤗
I was in Portugal many yeas and not everybody drink short coffee :)))))
Also did you get another record player?
This was a brilliant video! Even giggled a couple of times :D
Congratulations on living a smoke free life. I quit over forty years ago. Horrible expensive addiction.
Oh wow! That's so inspiring! Congratulation 💪
Congratulations on 5 years. Well done.
😊 thank you 🙏
Great ideas on saving money. I am with you for a lot of these. Definitely get a new vinyl player!
Ooooohh.... I'd get another record player; no question. I could never live without music and the sound on vinyl is.... incomparable.
It sure is 🥲🥲🥲
Excellent list. I would love to see a home tour.
Uh, that's a great idea for a future video! Thank you 😊
What I've discovered from this video is that Women live in a different world to men when it comes to stuff. I'm a 55 yo male and I'lve always lived like this.
Thx you you are imasing!❤ can you please tell me where your closet is from?
Hey! Would really love to hear why you don’t buy organic food..
There's a really nice video and channel explaining a bit of the why:
ua-cam.com/video/8PmM6SUn7Es/v-deo.html
Hope it helps!
I think you should definitely keep the vinyls and get a new player. 😊
let's see 🥺
Get another vinyl player! Music sounds so much better on the organic vinyl verses digital media. It’s worth it!
I agree ☺️
Hi, do you know if there is an app for a capsule wardrobe?
Hi Bea, I jusr found your channel and loved it. Id like to know, you in another video that you used to work in marketing so what do you do now? Are you a full time content creator/youtuber or do you have another job?
I just wonder because of your point about people usually cant sell their car that easily, becausr they have to go to work and dont do it from home. I really would love to sell my car, since most my expanses come from that, but its seems impossible when the office I work at is far aways from my house and the public transport here in my town (in Brazil) is terrible.
Your clip is on my feed randomly on the time I'm trying to declutter all my stuff.Your video makes inspiration! But only one thing I can't stop buying is Beer! hahaha :) .
Aww, thank you so much 🥰
Eheh, I also relate a bit when it comes to craft beer 🤭
Hello. I´m writing on a borrowed phone. Keep improving and you´ll get there.
First of all I loved your channel. +1 sub. Me and my wife are on the same vibe, when we moved to another country two years ago we packed everything in two bags each. Some things are harder and we tend to get attached, I used to have a 200 movies collection, it's kinda useless on those streaming days, so I got rid of it, it was like your vinyl's collection, at first I thought it would be harder but it wasn't. Almost forgot, congrats on quitting smoking 👏👏👏👏
Just get a second hand vinyl player that works 😉👍
Congrats on 5 years!!
Thank you Tasha 🥰
How often did you listen to your vinyl before your player broke? If it was at least a few times a month, I would say replace it. If not, I might declutter your vinyl (although even just typing that hurts!).
I think this is exactly the right question to make here ☺️
Love your channel! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 🤗🤗
The straws 🤣🤣🤣
Keep the vinyl! 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶
I quit smoking 20 years ago just do it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ buy your player you will enjoy it
Congratulations 🎉👏💪
Please keep the vinyl... please!! Luv, Nige from South Wales x
🎷🎺
Vinyl player and my favourite albums are better than spotify subscription :)
