I’d say my number one minimalism rule is to never buy anything that I didn’t ever think of before. When I see something and think “omg, I can totally use that for x purpose”, I pause and ask myself if I’ve ever missed this item before. If yes, I might get it. If no, I definitely won’t get it and observe if I’ll miss it in the future. If I actually keep on thinking about it, and keep on coming across situations where I’d use it, I’ll maybe get it. Works so well. I save so much money and space without these things I don’t actually need. It doesn’t work super well with things I can use up, like things to eat. But for the most part!!
I felt that way about one of those hard boiled egg makers (the dome like one) never thought i wanted one, then one was on sale about 8 bucks, I was like I could use that, is less than a sandwich in some places. Boy was I wrong I've used it almost daily lol so 🤷
So hard to watch this video knowing you’ll be leaving UA-cam ! I will miss your new videos popping up on my feed but SO happy that you are finding a new happy path to go.
@@ginkobaum30she will be back if she wants to be back. Not everything in life is about money. She’s doing what she feels is right for herself and her family :)
I am amazed at how similar my outlook is to yours. So much common sense. I understand your decision to leave UA-cam but I have to say that I'll miss "seeing" you. I'm sorry to see you go. I think you've had a very positive impact on young girls and women alike. The fact that you take pride in your home, that you love being a wife and that you respect your husband, and that you love being a mom is such a positive role model. It's taken a lot out of you, but thank you for making these enjoyable videos.
I've always heard that you should put money into the things that come between you and the ground. Things like shoes, beds, and tires are worth investing in!
I really like your commitment to fair working conditions with the items you buy; I encourage you to co sider how this translates to spices (like with the meat you buy). The spice trade can be very grim, and responsibly sourced spices are a smart choice. The flavour might be similar, but they last longer and you can trust they were grown and harvested fairly.
I am a student and moving all the time I realised I always had too much stuff. I discovered charity shops and stopped supporting fast fashion, I hate waste and only buy the amounts I need from local fruit and veg shops. I stopped buying skin care and loved myself more and more and I must admit I like spending on my hobbies, kayaking and cycling gear. When I discovered your channel I realised there are some really good people out there like you, I stopped watching others and you have really inspired me!
I feel this. I’m always shocked by the amount of stuff moving back and forth and I’m really trying to pair it down and be smarter about spending money so I can splurge on things I REALLY want and know I’ll use for years to come
I am pregnant so my emotions are all over the place. I was embarrassed because a couple days ago my husband saw me crying, and was like “Oh my god what’s wrong?” I responded with “my favorite UA-camr is leaving UA-cam!” That’s how I know I’m definitely pregnant.
@Nikita Sora💋 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Jesus was crucified, buried and then rose again on the third day. Believe in Him and you will have eternal life. Repent of your sins, turn away from them and turn to God He loves you.
I’ve found the more kids I have (pregnant with our 4th) the more I have naturally inclined to become a minimalist. I don’t want to waste time on things and rather invest in my family. We always, always buy on sale! Thanks for inspiring us with what you’ve learnt along the way! You’ll be missed here on UA-cam!
Absolutely! Part of it is that once you buy multiples of things it adds up so, so quickly. I have three - so, 20 toys per kid becomes 60, and $100 for anything becomes $300 once all the kids get a chance to participate. (Not my real numbers, to be clear.)
You have really inspired me to be more minimalist and intentional with everything that I bring into mine and my husband's house. As well as decluttering. And my husband has noticed that since watching your videos I have someone who inspires me. We are moving house soon and I realised that everything we own in the house has it's purpose and nothing need to be be chucked out, which is really exciting as that it because of your inspiring videos. Thank you xx
Things i don't buy are mostly any more clothing/bags/shoes.. like I can't remember the last time I've bought a clothing item. Must be over 4-5 years ago. I only buy when i NEED, and one comes in another has to go. Things i splurge on are my hobbies like Travel, art things, my yearly journal and stationary (mindfully also). Any other thing i just buy food for sustenance and definitely get a good deal on it. Love from Egypt ❤️
I’m so sad you’re leaving UA-cam, but I am so excited for you to start this new journey in your life! It is going to be so good for you and your family, I think. You’re amazing and even though I just found your channel not too long ago, you have changed the way I look at life and helped me focus on the important things! You are amazing!
It's amazing how you've changed through the years. I discovered your channel when I was learning about makeup and trying to get enough knowledge to do my own wedding makeup. And now, the things you splurge on are so much more different and I love that. It gives me hope that I can reach that minimalism place someday. Thank you Sarah 😊
Please do a house tour before you go! And also, if in a couple of weeks or months you feel better to come back please do, even if it's one random video every few months, we will always watch it! In case you don't, good bye hope you guys are well!
I’ve been working towards minimalism for a year and a half because of your videos! Very grateful to you and appreciate all the effort you’ve put on this channel! Life forever changed in more ways than one. Know you’re making a difference with your content and are appreciated 😌 i will definitely be rewatching ALL of your videos to stay encouraged on my minimal journey and encouraged in my new wife/mom life.
I just re-discovered you recently and you inspire me so much to seek freedom from all the clutter and mountains of clothes. I've been decluttering since Dec 2019. And almost HAPPY where I am now. Best wishes on your YT free journey! Enjoyed you so much, now following on IG. ♡
As another mama commented, I also find that the more children I have, the more I'm able to clarify in my mind what we don't need, and what is WORTH spending money on. For example, kids' shoes - my five children each have two pairs of season-appropriate shoes, one for play, one for church. I've found that it simplifies our season-to-season/year-to-year wardrobe prep for me to find THE brand that makes the exact style of shoes that suits us in a quality that can be handed down from sibling to sibling, and ultimately, the more expensive shoes SAVE us money in the long run. ;)
I started to appreciate minimalism because of your videos! They are so inspiring to me even though the transition was hard at its beginning… Things I don’t buy (or I do buy way less than in the past): disposables and goods in plastic containers I save money on: anything I can stock on (detergents, toilet paper…) and my go to stuff are biodegradable and/or compostable I put more money on: haircut (curly hair needs professional hands) and shoes I’m gonna be missing your videos/vlogs!
Amen to curly hair needs 🙌 I'm 19 I've been going to the same hair dresser sense I was like 3 or 4 and the times I've had to go to a different hair dresser has been my worst haircuts of my life! I travel and hour and a half just to get a hair cut😳
I wish I could just like stay with you for a week & watch how you do everything and take notes/learn.😂 I’m pregnant with our first kid, and I’m so excited to have a big family like you God willing.
I have loved all your videos for the last 3 years now. You have inspired me to live more minimal and simple and to get more organized. You are always so encouraging and bright. I would save your videos for the weekend so I could clean house and listen. Thank you for sharing pieces of your life with us all. I'm sad to see you go, but also glad you will have more time with your beautiful babies. God bless Sarah!
The only thing I use paper towel for is cleaning up after a sick pet. For me, it's one thing to use a towel on a mess made by humans, but it's gross to do with dogs and cats. As clean as we think our fur babies are, they have different germs and bacteria that I feel gross about not just tossing if they've been sick...
We are very similar in a lot of ways! My rule is that if I see something I want, I have to sit on it for atleast three days. But I also full time travel in a tiny home so another rule I have is 1 thing in, 4 things out. If it doesn’t serve a purpose or many purposes, it doesn’t come into my home. Another mindset of mine is quality over quantity, my yeti water bottle for instance, it’s not like any other brand I’ve ever tried but it was expensive. I don’t own a lot of things, but all the things I have either bring us so much joy, or serve us in multiple ways
Just a friendly fyi: be careful about "saving" dying plants from the store. Many could be infected with a disease or parasite that could, in turn, infect your other plants
I am really convicted about your comments on "fast fashion". I realize that where I live doesn't offer many options for clothing, and I felt that I was excluded from shopping at thrift stores because I could "afford" other stores. However, I have began to realize the negative impact that fast fashion has on so many lives. I also know the impact my local thrift store has in my community, especially in donations and other outreach programs. I am excited to step out into thrift stores and see it as a community effort for recycling clothing. Thank you so much for this video, Sarah! ❤️
I remember watching my first video for you years ago when you were newly married and you were like: "Marriage is AWESOME" and I remember being like: "wow this girl sounds really cool I like her!" and since then I've been watching every single video you upload, talking about you to literally everyone I know! I am more excited to having kids because of you! you have touched my life in a lot of ways, and it is so sad to say goodbye! but you do whatever is best for you and your family! God bless Sarah Therese! Love from the other side of the planet.
Hi Sarah! I just wanted to say thank you so much for your inspiration on minimalism. I'm a 21 year old student and you inspired me to keep my life organized, healthy and put together! 💌
I'll miss you so much Sarah. I'm a mother aiming for minimalism as much as possible but I find it difficult with kids. So you're the only one I'm subscribed to on that note. Please keep your videos in UA-cam, please don't take them off!! Love you lots
Thank you very much for your content. It really helps me to be a better wife and mum, to spend my money intentionally, keep my house clean and decluttered and so much more. I'm a Buddhist but if God exists, He for sure uses you to make lives of other people so much better. You practise what you preach. Wishing you and your family all that's the best!
Im so sad that i found your page near the end 😩 but so thankful I have old videos I can watch. Hope your new journey is a blessed one ❤️ Currently 5 months pregnant and ive LOVED decluttering and minimizing my life
growing up, we got our winter gear at a nearby ski resort's the labor day (US thing) sale. they would buy and sell high quality second hand winter gear . *chef's kiss* i still wear/use some of the items after 8+ years!
This is so hard realizing this is one of your final videos. 🥺😭💗 but I am literally so dang proud of you!! I have really been enjoying your Instagram posts and stories, always makes me smile. I really cherish you and you welcoming us into your life. 💗 I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you’ve given me a different perspective on marriage, life, and being a mom. I love you so much Sarah. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 😭😭💗💗
I got so emotional watching this video because the first video I ever watched on your channel was the "50 things i no longer buy" and it was 2 years ago. I'm gonna miss your smile and your good mood Sarah. Take good care and good luck on your next adventure ! I am forever grateful for your content on YT. I think you helped a lot of people, including me; not just to feel better but you actually teach us a lot through your videos! So thank you again. Can't wait to see you last videos. Cheers from France !
I thirft everything I wear clothing wise. I buy for cheap toiletries and loations and other items. I spend money on our trips out and holidays because that is what brings me joy. Thanks sarah for all the videos and good luck
For me with mascara, I find that most mascaras really clump up in my eyelashes, so the brand that really works for me in regards to being not clumpy, is 30 dollars, but it is natural and not filled with chemicals so that's a plus. But it's Nude By Nature's mascara. It's the best. Even the Burt's bees clumps too much for me
You are such a breath of fresh air. You will be missed but I am happy for you that you are pursuing what is right for you and brings you joy and contentment. All the best wishes to you and your family! :)
I have learned SO much from your minimalism videos. it was through watching them (and even re-watching them) that I really worked on a minimalistic lifestyle. so thank you for these, they’ve really been pivotal in changing how I live ❤️
This is great! I do want to make note though that fast fashion is not the only source of unethical production. Even from ethical suppliers most times there's no telling where that company sources their thread, buttons, fabric, sewing machines etc. Unfortunately there's no completely ethical consumption under consumerism BUT buying a few staples at a decent price and wearing those down before mindlessly buying more does so much better for the environment and those in those conditions. First choice would be thrift shopping but if you need a very specific item (i.e neutral colored tank tops) and do buy it at a fast fashion store, you shouldn't beat yourself up too much as long as you make the best usage out of the product.
My husband and I find joy in what we can find on sale at the grocery store! It has been an easy way to decide our meals for the week and save money. Love the tips about saving money on kids clothes, etc. for our future family!
I know you already planned videos but would you be able to do a video on plant care? I've been struggling trying to bring plants back to life and would love to know what you do!
so crazy that Focus on the Family has Adventures in Odyssey subscriptions! When my sister and I listened to them (maybe 10-12 years ago) we had a big cd case of 12 cds and we listened to them over and over and OVER lol
I get the paper towels thing and that's cool. My sister-in-law does that but it's really awkward because the rags she uses are her husband's old underwear so I'm really hesitant to use them 🤣🤣🤣
Oh I know, she's gone a bit weird on instagram now with not wanting to show her kids faces after showing their births and doing many sponsorships with them , I don't disagree with her decision just a bit odd with drawing on her kids faces coz she doesn't want to show it on the pictures lol
@@isabelakatrina7385 i know I just created an instagram and weird as it might sound but i honestly did it for her bc I love her videos here on UA-cam and she did inspired me to being a minimalist and take more care od the planet and all that but im just seing her posts on Instagram and she has change a lot promoting brands she doesnt use, but hey money moves people So sad to know because she did seem very genuine person and very straight forward
I think it’s super inspiring! People like Sarah, Stephany Gretzinger, milena ciciotti and many others make me realize that there’s a bigger picture in life and Jesus + family are more important 🫶🏼
lemme just say this thumbnail speaks VOLUMES!!! I am striving to be more minimal this year, Sarah, but the struggle is real for me! Saving this to watch later! Also, very sorry to see you go, you have been inspiring me since you first started... like way back when you were a kid filming at your parents! I've been watching your content from the start
@@SarahTherese hi Sarah! Can't wait to try the epilator, is it pain free? 😬. Also the knix bras I wanted to order the one you said was most comfortable, which one would that be, thanks and God bless you and your family 🙏❤️.
love you Sarah! You are like a good friend to me! I follow your journey since Calvin was born and I grew close to you over the years. You will be missed from youtube 🤎
Try using more spice if they're not noticably changing the flavour of your dish. Most people in the west are too cautious on spice. Also do not overcook your spices, say you are using smoked paprika, cook out the rawness for 30 seconds or so in oil max.
I do not spend money on getting my nails done professionally (except on rare occasions). I am always surprised to see so many women getting weekly or biweekly manis!
I know you've planned out your videos already but I just thought of one more, or maybe something for insta. Could you do a plant mom 101? I really want to have more plants in my home but don't know where to put them or care for and I would like some that don't need to much light. Just an idea 🤗 Going to miss you soo much, again thank you for all the work you have done , you've been such an inspiration for me and I will always be thankful ❤🤗

Similar to your scrub pads in our house we use reusable, washable bamboo sponges. I think they come in a 4 pack on Amazon and I’ve maybe thrown out 1 due to wear and tear/grossness in 2 years!

I wish i can be more like you! I switched shopping second hand in bazars but here in Slovakia they are so poor with storage, but you can find treasures here and there. I wanna switch to menstrual cup but not brave enough yet, switched to better products at least for now, trying to reuse everything i have, sell it gift it or so and live as minimalistic as i can from start. Do not buy anything i wouldnt use as much as i would wear it or use it more than 10times over and over You are such inspiration
Have you ever tried soap nuts instead of laundry soap? No chemicals and lasts way longer than a jug of detergent. Like a year or more for a big bag for soap nuts.
sad that you are leaving youtube but understand you need to do you. Will miss seeing you and I also am very happy you are giving us a last few videos and notice. I love thrifting. Most of my clothing, dishes, home decor ( I don't have much) and a lot of furniture is thrifted. Helps the environment and saves money and most is better made then the new stuff.
I am so with you. I am 65, and I lived my life exactly on this values. Thank you Sarah for your advices for Young women, who would not listen to 65 year olds, that could tell them the same. How about making a Video where you tell what you spend your time on in a typical day. Do you start by reading the bible first thing in the Morning?
This just and just made me realize that you'll be leaving just by seeing the thumbnail.. It just reminded me of the first video that I watched from you, and I truly agree with the ladies here that it's hard to watch this video
not sure if you have read the book Laundry Love by Patric Richardson, but it COMPLETELY changed the way I do laundry and the products I use, much greener and cheaper
Loved this video. Very insightful! Also I don’t know what it is but you look stunning in this video girl 😊😍 idk if it’s the color tones your wearing but it suits you 😊 keep glowing and growing 🤍
Always keep in mind the size of your house along side the size of ur family. We have a very small apartment in New York City. It’s 4 room, so 2 small bedrooms a living room and the kitchen. But I have 3 children, and a 4th one on the way. So even if I have only what I need for the kids it would still look crowded 😂 I remind myself of this because I want so badly for my house to look spacious and clean like Sarah’s, but i simply don’t have space to have empty space if that makes sense. Love this video tho 🥰
@@chelseasigur4190 I’m extremely relieved to see someone agrees 🥲 we are doing a good job with everything we have or don’t have 👏🏻 happy healthy kids is what matters most! ❤️
My two biggest questions: -What shampoo/conditioner and body wash do you use? -What laundry detergent and stain remover do you use? I’ve been on the search for ethical, sustainable, and natural and I can’t find anything I just love. Okay I lied, third question. -Can you PLEASE make a cook book?! I follow you on IG and subscribe to your newsletter but I can definitely say I’m going to miss seeing new videos from you. I understand why you are leaving and I’m so happy you are doing what’s best for you and your family ♥️ I will be rewatching all your videos for my Sarah soul touching moments. Your videos truly make me happy 😊 thank you for all your advice and tips to making my home a happy one. God bless you Sarah!

I don't buy nail polish!! I grew up in a house where we always had an ENTIRE basket of nail polish, but since I've been married I've just stuck with the three colors I've been gifted over time because thats all I really need!
I am sooooooo sad that you leave You tube!!! But i totally understand that you need to spend time with your beautiful family! God has a Plan for everything! Let me Just Say you did a fantastic job to do all of this.... Lots of love and kisses from Italy!
A splurge for my husband and I: coffee and coffee supplies. Coffee is a passion hobby for my husband and he has high standards, so we have the espresso machine, the expensive grinder, we buy nice local coffee beans, syrups, etc., and when we are traveling we do buy nice lattes from local coffee shops because we enjoy it and my husband likes to learn about their techniques. However, long term it saves us money to have our own equipment and my husband is a barista and may open his own shop one day, so it’s investing in his career as well. As far as saving, I don’t buy multiples of makeup. I do like to buy from friends who sell for brands like seint or mary Kay, so sometimes I buy full price and sometimes I help them out and save by hosting a party and getting rewards to use to buy my makeup.
Hi Sarah! I am so excited for what is to come for your family! You are my all time favorite UA-camr and I am excited to go back through your videos! I have such a hard time finding jeans at a thrift store! Do you have any recommendation on where to buy jeans that are sustainable?
You were saying how you are gifted certain things you use otherwise wouldn’t buy and it made me wonder if there are things that you buy full price as a gift for someone else or if you shop how you would for yourself (no fast fashion, no books at full price etc.) to buy gifts? Sorry if that didn’t make sense lol.
oh man its SO HARD to give up nic nacs....I love mid century pottery and sculpture. also washcloths...I would have to do a run of the laundry for a single washcloth and that bothers me immensely, if I use a washcloth in the kitchen I will try to wring it out to dry and every time it gets wet again and very quickly it smells like terrible dry rot. I clearly don't know how to use kitchen washcloths I guess...maybe I need a drying rack like installed high on the wall or on the underside of the cabinets?
Have you thought about only uploading a video every month or couple months instead of leaving all together? You have impacted me so much in my life, marriage, and now new motherhood!
So inspiring to see all your minimalism ideas 💡 in all your videos! Thank you for sharing those parts of your life with us! Will miss the videos!! God bless you and family always.
Well, I am super sad because I just found you... on your last video. But, I will totally be watching all the old ones! I am also a homeschool mom (older, though... my baby is in 9th grade) AND a fellow plant rescuer!! Woo hoo! I love my plant babies!
I've made fabric baby wipes for my niece. She already 1 and my sis still use them. They are super soft and easy to wash. She has never used disposable wipes. The same for cotton and pads. I am not at all minimalist (yet) but I wish to apply some on these ideas on the future. It's cool to pass by a full isle on supermarket and think "I don't need that!"
Loved the video and I agree with shopping for food on sale! I usually buy my oat or almond milk bogo, we will occasionally splurge for some food items like an almond milk icecream. We have saved big time with many coffee items being gifted to us and also thrifting some Pyrex bowls for to go lunches
Just started using dissolvable tablets for my cleaning products and glass spray bottles so far so good. Less plastic, less chemicals, less money.. so might be my new thing..
YES to rescued plants! Most of the time it is simply changing the watering! Like I have two gorgeous succulents that i bought for less than a (US) dollar and I only quit watering the one until it had dried up a little and the other looked dead, I gave it a good watering and within 48 hours it was literally three times as tall (the leaves had all curled up really tightly!) , lush, and Gorgeous leaves! Always rescue plant babies!!!!!!🤩🥰
The only thing that I refuse to thrift is underwear. I know its been washed before it's put on the rack, I know I'm gonna wash it when I get home but I can't get myself to buy something that has been up close and personal like that with someone else!
I love all of your videos so much! You are such an inspiration and I will miss your UA-cam content. So glad you are doing what God calls you to! You are such an inspiration to SO many, Sarah Therèse! ♥️♥️♥️

Even though I generally agree on the store memberships part, there is one exception that I have and that is with pet food. I have two dogs and a bunny so I buy pet food and other pet products on monthly basis. Where I live, I can sure go to the pet store and buy one bag of dog food for more than 50 dollars (not counting the money I spend on gas) and I also have to carry the 20 lbs of dog food through the parking lot to my car .. when I can have it shipped from an online site straight to my house for like 45 dollars total. And this site also provides a membership account (that you pay around 10 dollars per year for) and it gives you 5 - 10% off every order. So for the past year not only has it paid for itself in the discounts but ordering the products there also saved me allmost 200 dollars. That"s like 4 extra bags of kibble. Not too shabby if you ask me. So in cases like this, make the exception, just do the math first!
I don’t buy paper towels anymore (I buy the pack of 2 for pet messes only, but we use unpaper towels for everything else) I honestly try not to splurge too much on anything, but I do splurge on things that will give me a return over time (ie. unpaper towels, espresso machine and things to make nice coffee at home, nice quality cookware, jackets/outdoor equipment, furniture items unless we find something second hand for cheaper).
I’d say my number one minimalism rule is to never buy anything that I didn’t ever think of before. When I see something and think “omg, I can totally use that for x purpose”, I pause and ask myself if I’ve ever missed this item before. If yes, I might get it. If no, I definitely won’t get it and observe if I’ll miss it in the future. If I actually keep on thinking about it, and keep on coming across situations where I’d use it, I’ll maybe get it. Works so well. I save so much money and space without these things I don’t actually need. It doesn’t work super well with things I can use up, like things to eat. But for the most part!!
I felt that way about one of those hard boiled egg makers (the dome like one) never thought i wanted one, then one was on sale about 8 bucks, I was like I could use that, is less than a sandwich in some places. Boy was I wrong I've used it almost daily lol so 🤷
So hard to watch this video knowing you’ll be leaving UA-cam ! I will miss your new videos popping up on my feed but SO happy that you are finding a new happy path to go.
I thought she left already 😅

She will back when she runs out of money
@@ginkobaum30 She makes money from Instagram, & will start making more on there as she focuses more on it than youtube
@@ginkobaum30she will be back if she wants to be back. Not everything in life is about money. She’s doing what she feels is right for herself and her family :)
I am amazed at how similar my outlook is to yours. So much common sense. I understand your decision to leave UA-cam but I have to say that I'll miss "seeing" you. I'm sorry to see you go. I think you've had a very positive impact on young girls and women alike. The fact that you take pride in your home, that you love being a wife and that you respect your husband, and that you love being a mom is such a positive role model. It's taken a lot out of you, but thank you for making these enjoyable videos.
I've always heard that you should put money into the things that come between you and the ground. Things like shoes, beds, and tires are worth investing in!
Good rule of thumb! :D
So hard to watch this as it get closer to an end but also grateful for all your time and effort put on youtube 🙏🏻 you are forever role model ❤️

I really like your commitment to fair working conditions with the items you buy; I encourage you to co sider how this translates to spices (like with the meat you buy). The spice trade can be very grim, and responsibly sourced spices are a smart choice. The flavour might be similar, but they last longer and you can trust they were grown and harvested fairly.
I am a student and moving all the time I realised I always had too much stuff. I discovered charity shops and stopped supporting fast fashion, I hate waste and only buy the amounts I need from local fruit and veg shops. I stopped buying skin care and loved myself more and more and I must admit I like spending on my hobbies, kayaking and cycling gear. When I discovered your channel I realised there are some really good people out there like you, I stopped watching others and you have really inspired me!
I feel this. I’m always shocked by the amount of stuff moving back and forth and I’m really trying to pair it down and be smarter about spending money so I can splurge on things I REALLY want and know I’ll use for years to come
I am pregnant so my emotions are all over the place. I was embarrassed because a couple days ago my husband saw me crying, and was like “Oh my god what’s wrong?” I responded with “my favorite UA-camr is leaving UA-cam!” That’s how I know I’m definitely pregnant.
I felt like crying and I’m not even pregnant 😢
@@janietaylor2703 anyones welcome to join me in a good cry haha
I'm so grateful that you are making this goodbye videos for us! Thank you for this journey! 😍
@Nikita Sora💋 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Jesus was crucified, buried and then rose again on the third day. Believe in Him and you will have eternal life. Repent of your sins, turn away from them and turn to God He loves you.
thank YOUUUU ❤️❤️
I’ve found the more kids I have (pregnant with our 4th) the more I have naturally inclined to become a minimalist. I don’t want to waste time on things and rather invest in my family. We always, always buy on sale! Thanks for inspiring us with what you’ve learnt along the way! You’ll be missed here on UA-cam!
Absolutely! Part of it is that once you buy multiples of things it adds up so, so quickly. I have three - so, 20 toys per kid becomes 60, and $100 for anything becomes $300 once all the kids get a chance to participate. (Not my real numbers, to be clear.)
You have really inspired me to be more minimalist and intentional with everything that I bring into mine and my husband's house. As well as decluttering. And my husband has noticed that since watching your videos I have someone who inspires me. We are moving house soon and I realised that everything we own in the house has it's purpose and nothing need to be be chucked out, which is really exciting as that it because of your inspiring videos. Thank you xx
Things i don't buy are mostly any more clothing/bags/shoes.. like I can't remember the last time I've bought a clothing item. Must be over 4-5 years ago. I only buy when i NEED, and one comes in another has to go.
Things i splurge on are my hobbies like Travel, art things, my yearly journal and stationary (mindfully also).
Any other thing i just buy food for sustenance and definitely get a good deal on it.
Love from Egypt ❤️
I’m so sad you’re leaving UA-cam, but I am so excited for you to start this new journey in your life! It is going to be so good for you and your family, I think. You’re amazing and even though I just found your channel not too long ago, you have changed the way I look at life and helped me focus on the important things! You are amazing!
It's amazing how you've changed through the years. I discovered your channel when I was learning about makeup and trying to get enough knowledge to do my own wedding makeup. And now, the things you splurge on are so much more different and I love that. It gives me hope that I can reach that minimalism place someday. Thank you Sarah 😊
Please do a house tour before you go! And also, if in a couple of weeks or months you feel better to come back please do, even if it's one random video every few months, we will always watch it! In case you don't, good bye hope you guys are well!
I’ve been working towards minimalism for a year and a half because of your videos! Very grateful to you and appreciate all the effort you’ve put on this channel! Life forever changed in more ways than one. Know you’re making a difference with your content and are appreciated 😌 i will definitely be rewatching ALL of your videos to stay encouraged on my minimal journey and encouraged in my new wife/mom life.
I just re-discovered you recently and you inspire me so much to seek freedom from all the clutter and mountains of clothes. I've been decluttering since Dec 2019. And almost HAPPY where I am now. Best wishes on your YT free journey! Enjoyed you so much, now following on IG. ♡
As another mama commented, I also find that the more children I have, the more I'm able to clarify in my mind what we don't need, and what is WORTH spending money on. For example, kids' shoes - my five children each have two pairs of season-appropriate shoes, one for play, one for church. I've found that it simplifies our season-to-season/year-to-year wardrobe prep for me to find THE brand that makes the exact style of shoes that suits us in a quality that can be handed down from sibling to sibling, and ultimately, the more expensive shoes SAVE us money in the long run. ;)
I got my honeycomb mitt because of this channel and I am ETERNALLY grateful!!
RIGHT ON!! 👏🏻
Me too!
Also a FOREO
LOVE this and LOVE your honesty, as always in regards to sweat shops, chemicals, etc!!
I started to appreciate minimalism because of your videos! They are so inspiring to me even though the transition was hard at its beginning…
Things I don’t buy (or I do buy way less than in the past): disposables and goods in plastic containers
I save money on: anything I can stock on (detergents, toilet paper…) and my go to stuff are biodegradable and/or compostable
I put more money on: haircut (curly hair needs professional hands) and shoes
I’m gonna be missing your videos/vlogs!
Amen to curly hair needs 🙌 I'm 19 I've been going to the same hair dresser sense I was like 3 or 4 and the times I've had to go to a different hair dresser has been my worst haircuts of my life! I travel and hour and a half just to get a hair cut😳
I wish I could just like stay with you for a week & watch how you do everything and take notes/learn.😂 I’m pregnant with our first kid, and I’m so excited to have a big family like you God willing.
I have loved all your videos for the last 3 years now. You have inspired me to live more minimal and simple and to get more organized. You are always so encouraging and bright. I would save your videos for the weekend so I could clean house and listen. Thank you for sharing pieces of your life with us all. I'm sad to see you go, but also glad you will have more time with your beautiful babies. God bless Sarah!
The only thing I use paper towel for is cleaning up after a sick pet. For me, it's one thing to use a towel on a mess made by humans, but it's gross to do with dogs and cats. As clean as we think our fur babies are, they have different germs and bacteria that I feel gross about not just tossing if they've been sick...
We are very similar in a lot of ways!
My rule is that if I see something I want, I have to sit on it for atleast three days. But I also full time travel in a tiny home so another rule I have is 1 thing in, 4 things out. If it doesn’t serve a purpose or many purposes, it doesn’t come into my home.
Another mindset of mine is quality over quantity, my yeti water bottle for instance, it’s not like any other brand I’ve ever tried but it was expensive.
I don’t own a lot of things, but all the things I have either bring us so much joy, or serve us in multiple ways
Just a friendly fyi: be careful about "saving" dying plants from the store. Many could be infected with a disease or parasite that could, in turn, infect your other plants
I am really convicted about your comments on "fast fashion". I realize that where I live doesn't offer many options for clothing, and I felt that I was excluded from shopping at thrift stores because I could "afford" other stores. However, I have began to realize the negative impact that fast fashion has on so many lives. I also know the impact my local thrift store has in my community, especially in donations and other outreach programs. I am excited to step out into thrift stores and see it as a community effort for recycling clothing. Thank you so much for this video, Sarah! ❤️
I remember watching my first video for you years ago when you were newly married and you were like: "Marriage is AWESOME" and I remember being like: "wow this girl sounds really cool I like her!" and since then I've been watching every single video you upload, talking about you to literally everyone I know! I am more excited to having kids because of you! you have touched my life in a lot of ways, and it is so sad to say goodbye! but you do whatever is best for you and your family!
God bless Sarah Therese!
Love from the other side of the planet.
Hi Sarah! I just wanted to say thank you so much for your inspiration on minimalism. I'm a 21 year old student and you inspired me to keep my life organized, healthy and put together! 💌
Definitely will miss your videos, but I respect you doing what is right for you. I wish you peace and happiness.
I'll miss you so much Sarah. I'm a mother aiming for minimalism as much as possible but I find it difficult with kids. So you're the only one I'm subscribed to on that note. Please keep your videos in UA-cam, please don't take them off!! Love you lots
I have just realized how much I will miss you - And on the same breath Happy for your new way.
Thank you very much for your content. It really helps me to be a better wife and mum, to spend my money intentionally, keep my house clean and decluttered and so much more. I'm a Buddhist but if God exists, He for sure uses you to make lives of other people so much better. You practise what you preach. Wishing you and your family all that's the best!
Im so sad that i found your page near the end 😩 but so thankful I have old videos I can watch.
Hope your new journey is a blessed one ❤️
Currently 5 months pregnant and ive LOVED decluttering and minimizing my life
growing up, we got our winter gear at a nearby ski resort's the labor day (US thing) sale. they would buy and sell high quality second hand winter gear . *chef's kiss*
i still wear/use some of the items after 8+ years!
This is so hard realizing this is one of your final videos. 🥺😭💗 but I am literally so dang proud of you!!
I have really been enjoying your Instagram posts and stories, always makes me smile.
I really cherish you and you welcoming us into your life. 💗 I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you’ve given me a different perspective on marriage, life, and being a mom.
I love you so much Sarah. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 😭😭💗💗
I feel understood Sarah especially about the paper towels I just use cleaning rags and wash them less waste !!
I got so emotional watching this video because the first video I ever watched on your channel was the "50 things i no longer buy" and it was 2 years ago. I'm gonna miss your smile and your good mood Sarah. Take good care and good luck on your next adventure ! I am forever grateful for your content on YT. I think you helped a lot of people, including me; not just to feel better but you actually teach us a lot through your videos! So thank you again. Can't wait to see you last videos. Cheers from France !
Proud of you for continuing on your journey! We’ll follow you anywhere ! 💛
I thirft everything I wear clothing wise. I buy for cheap toiletries and loations and other items. I spend money on our trips out and holidays because that is what brings me joy. Thanks sarah for all the videos and good luck
For me with mascara, I find that most mascaras really clump up in my eyelashes, so the brand that really works for me in regards to being not clumpy, is 30 dollars, but it is natural and not filled with chemicals so that's a plus. But it's Nude By Nature's mascara. It's the best. Even the Burt's bees clumps too much for me
Bless you for mentioning the importance of eating high quality meat, thus also supporting local shops!✌
I’m gonna miss you so much. ❣️ you’re amazing and I love your videos and dedication to your family
You are such a breath of fresh air. You will be missed but I am happy for you that you are pursuing what is right for you and brings you joy and contentment. All the best wishes to you and your family! :)
I have learned SO much from your minimalism videos. it was through watching them (and even re-watching them) that I really worked on a minimalistic lifestyle. so thank you for these, they’ve really been pivotal in changing how I live ❤️
This is great! I do want to make note though that fast fashion is not the only source of unethical production. Even from ethical suppliers most times there's no telling where that company sources their thread, buttons, fabric, sewing machines etc. Unfortunately there's no completely ethical consumption under consumerism BUT buying a few staples at a decent price and wearing those down before mindlessly buying more does so much better for the environment and those in those conditions. First choice would be thrift shopping but if you need a very specific item (i.e neutral colored tank tops) and do buy it at a fast fashion store, you shouldn't beat yourself up too much as long as you make the best usage out of the product.
My husband and I find joy in what we can find on sale at the grocery store! It has been an easy way to decide our meals for the week and save money. Love the tips about saving money on kids clothes, etc. for our future family!
I know you already planned videos but would you be able to do a video on plant care? I've been struggling trying to bring plants back to life and would love to know what you do!
so crazy that Focus on the Family has Adventures in Odyssey subscriptions! When my sister and I listened to them (maybe 10-12 years ago) we had a big cd case of 12 cds and we listened to them over and over and OVER lol
I get the paper towels thing and that's cool. My sister-in-law does that but it's really awkward because the rags she uses are her husband's old underwear so I'm really hesitant to use them 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂
We use old tshirts as rags
I would definitely bring my own hand towels to her house…🤢😂
Dude can she not just use regular rags?? Lol but ew!!
Lmao!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like you are a solid argument about why procreation should be a privilege and not a right. Toothy
Who think she'll be back on you tube by the end of the year? 😅 🙋♀️
She hasnt come back and its been a year that she left
Oh I know, she's gone a bit weird on instagram now with not wanting to show her kids faces after showing their births and doing many sponsorships with them , I don't disagree with her decision just a bit odd with drawing on her kids faces coz she doesn't want to show it on the pictures lol
@@isabelakatrina7385 i know I just created an instagram and weird as it might sound but i honestly did it for her bc I love her videos here on UA-cam and she did inspired me to being a minimalist and take more care od the planet and all that but im just seing her posts on Instagram and she has change a lot promoting brands she doesnt use, but hey money moves people
So sad to know because she did seem very genuine person and very straight forward
@@sandovalrm she just posted a video
I think it’s super inspiring! People like Sarah, Stephany Gretzinger, milena ciciotti and many others make me realize that there’s a bigger picture in life and Jesus + family are more important 🫶🏼
lemme just say this thumbnail speaks VOLUMES!!!
I am striving to be more minimal this year, Sarah, but the struggle is real for me! Saving this to watch later!
Also, very sorry to see you go, you have been inspiring me since you first started... like way back when you were a kid filming at your parents!
I've been watching your content from the start
THANK YOU, so thankful for you being here ❤️❤️ way to go 👏🏻
@@SarahTherese hi Sarah! Can't wait to try the epilator, is it pain free? 😬. Also the knix bras I wanted to order the one you said was most comfortable, which one would that be, thanks and God bless you and your family 🙏❤️.
love you Sarah! You are like a good friend to me! I follow your journey since Calvin was born and I grew close to you over the years. You will be missed from youtube 🤎
Love the beauty category! I save money merely cause I don’t but makeup haha. But I will spend a pretty penny on skincare items.
Those Skoy scrubbers are the bomb!! I found them via yt, I don't think it was you. I sing their praise everywhere
Try using more spice if they're not noticably changing the flavour of your dish. Most people in the west are too cautious on spice. Also do not overcook your spices, say you are using smoked paprika, cook out the rawness for 30 seconds or so in oil max.
I do not spend money on getting my nails done professionally (except on rare occasions). I am always surprised to see so many women getting weekly or biweekly manis!
I know you've planned out your videos already but I just thought of one more, or maybe something for insta. Could you do a plant mom 101? I really want to have more plants in my home but don't know where to put them or care for and I would like some that don't need to much light. Just an idea 🤗
Going to miss you soo much, again thank you for all the work you have done , you've been such an inspiration for me and I will always be thankful ❤🤗

Similar to your scrub pads in our house we use reusable, washable bamboo sponges. I think they come in a 4 pack on Amazon and I’ve maybe thrown out 1 due to wear and tear/grossness in 2 years!

Just seeing you gives me inspiration and enthusiasm.
I'm so sad I'll miss you especially that I don't have an Instagram.

I wish i can be more like you! I switched shopping second hand in bazars but here in Slovakia they are so poor with storage, but you can find treasures here and there. I wanna switch to menstrual cup but not brave enough yet, switched to better products at least for now, trying to reuse everything i have, sell it gift it or so and live as minimalistic as i can from start. Do not buy anything i wouldnt use as much as i would wear it or use it more than 10times over and over
You are such inspiration
Have you ever tried soap nuts instead of laundry soap? No chemicals and lasts way longer than a jug of detergent. Like a year or more for a big bag for soap nuts.
I agree with the frozen food thing! I buy berries fresh on sale and then freeze half of them and eat the rest before it goes bad!
sad that you are leaving youtube but understand you need to do you. Will miss seeing you and I also am very happy you are giving us a last few videos and notice. I love thrifting. Most of my clothing, dishes, home decor ( I don't have much) and a lot of furniture is thrifted. Helps the environment and saves money and most is better made then the new stuff.
I am so with you. I am 65, and I lived my life exactly on this values. Thank you Sarah for your advices for Young women, who would not listen to 65 year olds, that could tell them the same. How about making a Video where you tell what you spend your time on in a typical day. Do you start by reading the bible first thing in the Morning?
This just and just made me realize that you'll be leaving just by seeing the thumbnail.. It just reminded me of the first video that I watched from you, and I truly agree with the ladies here that it's hard to watch this video
not sure if you have read the book Laundry Love by Patric Richardson, but it COMPLETELY changed the way I do laundry and the products I use, much greener and cheaper
Loved this video. Very insightful! Also I don’t know what it is but you look stunning in this video girl 😊😍 idk if it’s the color tones your wearing but it suits you 😊 keep glowing and growing 🤍
Always keep in mind the size of your house along side the size of ur family. We have a very small apartment in New York City. It’s 4 room, so 2 small bedrooms a living room and the kitchen. But I have 3 children, and a 4th one on the way. So even if I have only what I need for the kids it would still look crowded 😂
I remind myself of this because I want so badly for my house to look spacious and clean like Sarah’s, but i simply don’t have space to have empty space if that makes sense.
Love this video tho 🥰
Sooo nice to hear another mama say that🥲
@@chelseasigur4190
I’m extremely relieved to see someone agrees 🥲
we are doing a good job with everything we have or don’t have 👏🏻 happy healthy kids is what matters most! ❤️
Thrift books is another great place to get used books for cheap!
I would LOVE a blog post about how you rescue plants! I'm not great at this but would love to get better 🙂
Love this video. I think it's very cool that you rescue plants!!!
My two biggest questions:
-What shampoo/conditioner and body wash do you use?
-What laundry detergent and stain remover do you use?
I’ve been on the search for ethical, sustainable, and natural and I can’t find anything I just love.
Okay I lied, third question.
-Can you PLEASE make a cook book?!
I follow you on IG and subscribe to your newsletter but I can definitely say I’m going to miss seeing new videos from you. I understand why you are leaving and I’m so happy you are doing what’s best for you and your family ♥️ I will be rewatching all your videos for my Sarah soul touching moments. Your videos truly make me happy 😊 thank you for all your advice and tips to making my home a happy one. God bless you Sarah!

Please. Just one more what I eat in a day video before you leave. I'm going to miss you so so so so much. God bless you queen. Love from Egypt ❤
I don't buy nail polish!! I grew up in a house where we always had an ENTIRE basket of nail polish, but since I've been married I've just stuck with the three colors I've been gifted over time because thats all I really need!
I am sooooooo sad that you leave You tube!!! But i totally understand that you need to spend time with your beautiful family! God has a Plan for everything! Let me Just Say you did a fantastic job to do all of this.... Lots of love and kisses from Italy!
A splurge for my husband and I: coffee and coffee supplies. Coffee is a passion hobby for my husband and he has high standards, so we have the espresso machine, the expensive grinder, we buy nice local coffee beans, syrups, etc., and when we are traveling we do buy nice lattes from local coffee shops because we enjoy it and my husband likes to learn about their techniques. However, long term it saves us money to have our own equipment and my husband is a barista and may open his own shop one day, so it’s investing in his career as well.
As far as saving, I don’t buy multiples of makeup. I do like to buy from friends who sell for brands like seint or mary Kay, so sometimes I buy full price and sometimes I help them out and save by hosting a party and getting rewards to use to buy my makeup.
The plants!!!! Brilliant!!
I'm thankful that you've been doing last videos on all the topics I asked for. Thanks Sarah 😘 gonna miss your videos so freakin much
You should definitely make a blog post about how you bring your plants to life or how you take care of your plants id love to know!!
Hi Sarah! I am so excited for what is to come for your family! You are my all time favorite UA-camr and I am excited to go back through your videos!
I have such a hard time finding jeans at a thrift store! Do you have any recommendation on where to buy jeans that are sustainable?
I know that Sarah and Delilah LOVE Everlane for jeans!
You were saying how you are gifted certain things you use otherwise wouldn’t buy and it made me wonder if there are things that you buy full price as a gift for someone else or if you shop how you would for yourself (no fast fashion, no books at full price etc.) to buy gifts? Sorry if that didn’t make sense lol.
oh man its SO HARD to give up nic nacs....I love mid century pottery and sculpture. also washcloths...I would have to do a run of the laundry for a single washcloth and that bothers me immensely, if I use a washcloth in the kitchen I will try to wring it out to dry and every time it gets wet again and very quickly it smells like terrible dry rot. I clearly don't know how to use kitchen washcloths I guess...maybe I need a drying rack like installed high on the wall or on the underside of the cabinets?
Have you thought about only uploading a video every month or couple months instead of leaving all together? You have impacted me so much in my life, marriage, and now new motherhood!
So inspiring to see all your minimalism ideas 💡 in all your videos! Thank you for sharing those parts of your life with us! Will miss the videos!! God bless you and family always.
Was gonna ask for a video on how you grocery shop/plan but then I realized …. 😭❤️
Well, I am super sad because I just found you... on your last video. But, I will totally be watching all the old ones! I am also a homeschool mom (older, though... my baby is in 9th grade) AND a fellow plant rescuer!! Woo hoo! I love my plant babies!
I've made fabric baby wipes for my niece. She already 1 and my sis still use them. They are super soft and easy to wash. She has never used disposable wipes. The same for cotton and pads. I am not at all minimalist (yet) but I wish to apply some on these ideas on the future. It's cool to pass by a full isle on supermarket and think "I don't need that!"
Loved the video and I agree with shopping for food on sale! I usually buy my oat or almond milk bogo, we will occasionally splurge for some food items like an almond milk icecream. We have saved big time with many coffee items being gifted to us and also thrifting some Pyrex bowls for to go lunches
Just started using dissolvable tablets for my cleaning products and glass spray bottles so far so good. Less plastic, less chemicals, less money.. so might be my new thing..
YES to rescued plants! Most of the time it is simply changing the watering! Like I have two gorgeous succulents that i bought for less than a (US) dollar and I only quit watering the one until it had dried up a little and the other looked dead, I gave it a good watering and within 48 hours it was literally three times as tall (the leaves had all curled up really tightly!) , lush, and Gorgeous leaves! Always rescue plant babies!!!!!!🤩🥰
You make so many good points. I have followed you forever. This 61-year-old will miss you when you retire from you tube.
The only thing that I refuse to thrift is underwear. I know its been washed before it's put on the rack, I know I'm gonna wash it when I get home but I can't get myself to buy something that has been up close and personal like that with someone else!
I love all of your videos so much! You are such an inspiration and I will miss your UA-cam content. So glad you are doing what God calls you to! You are such an inspiration to SO many, Sarah Therèse! ♥️♥️♥️

Even though I generally agree on the store memberships part, there is one exception that I have and that is with pet food. I have two dogs and a bunny so I buy pet food and other pet products on monthly basis. Where I live, I can sure go to the pet store and buy one bag of dog food for more than 50 dollars (not counting the money I spend on gas) and I also have to carry the 20 lbs of dog food through the parking lot to my car .. when I can have it shipped from an online site straight to my house for like 45 dollars total. And this site also provides a membership account (that you pay around 10 dollars per year for) and it gives you 5 - 10% off every order. So for the past year not only has it paid for itself in the discounts but ordering the products there also saved me allmost 200 dollars. That"s like 4 extra bags of kibble. Not too shabby if you ask me. So in cases like this, make the exception, just do the math first!
I don’t buy paper towels anymore (I buy the pack of 2 for pet messes only, but we use unpaper towels for everything else)
I honestly try not to splurge too much on anything, but I do splurge on things that will give me a return over time (ie. unpaper towels, espresso machine and things to make nice coffee at home, nice quality cookware, jackets/outdoor equipment, furniture items unless we find something second hand for cheaper).
