I admire your and Conor's willingness to make this kind of change, to not be attached to a fully mobile lifestyle. It's not always our stuff that holds us back, but sometimes our living situation. This is some of what makes the two of you so interesting to watch, that you're constantly thinking about how to refine what you're doing instead of getting into a rut. I also like that you're moving in with just exactly what you need, and then deciding what else you want to be doing and buying things for that, instead of buying what you "should" have. I love that you're already free of all that. The joy of minimalism!
Ms. Brittany, I only came here to thank you! I've been watching your videos for months and months while on bed rest. You've commented on my comments before and honestly that makes me SO happy. I'm living the best life I can right now because of the things I've seen through you. Last week, that best life happened to be me lying in my bed and crying/screaming in pain because my illness sucks so much. But I took time out to realize how lucky I am to have a friend in my life who helps me through those moments and, you, watching your videos makes me smile. I'm doing ok today and have received an offer to help start teaching some ballroom classes. I'm absolutely terrified. I'm overweight and out of shape and no amount of health or diet planning will ever get me back to where I was--this is just how I was built. But you gave me CONFIDENCE to try to do something I once loved again!! You are an incredible spirit and I hope to one day stop by and bring you a fruit basket or something and a big hug. Austin is pretty near here. Love and hugs,. Liz.
love how you guys are still 100% intentional with the available space and not feeling a desire to buy things just to "fill" the space. definitely looks like a fun space to play in that leaves plenty of room for creativity!
I also love the "we've-just-been-robbed" look, no sarcasm intended. You can run around in there and vacuum to your heart's content. No obstacle courses. LOVE.
You are a naturally talented presenter !..really impressed by your presentation skills...if I didn't know otherwise,I could be watching a TV documentary !..really loved this tour of your bright and spacious living space 💜🍉🏠
Sarah, your messages always feel ridiculously good to receive! Thank you so so much! I'm really glad that I come across this way for you. And I'm so happy you enjoyed this tour! It was super fun to share with you all!
I LOVE your new apartment and it's so clear that you are getting so much joy from it. You look so happy. Whenever I have a down day, I think of you and it lifts my spirits. Much love pretty lady.
Sherri, your messages are such a joy to receive!! Thank you so much. I love that my happiness in life and around this space shines through. I love that I can play a role in lifting your spirits. That feels truly magical. xoxoxo
hahaha, yep she did! Thanks ;) Conor and I actually have some funny sex toy vids on our other channel if you are in the mood: ua-cam.com/video/vH9IZ_v4lJI/v-deo.html
Oh geez I love your life, I have my dogs to start this life but would be so cool to have a soul mate. In the process of selling everything and getting a van....I'm so very very scared. 40 years old and in the UK....not the country I want to be in but it's a start, who knows where I'll end up. Can't stay in one place I'm so bored and skint paying for a house and bills. You're helping with my confidence, love to you both x
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing! Every time I watch one of your videos, I tell myself "Ok, time to get rid of some stuff! I have wayyy too much junk!" Much love from Canada! 😘
Oh my gosh! This was my apartment for a year haha. Not that I'm living with two other people there is more furniture. We tend to bump heads a lot over it because I feel furniture is access anxiety. And I don't own a lot! I don't even own a brush! It's great that you guys are both minimalist! I love watching your videos and encouraging messages to keep changing :)
This is such a nice reflection. Thank you so much for sharing a bit of your life here! I can really understand that feeling that furniture is excess anxiety! I love that you don't own a brush. Me either! Sending so much love your way. Thanks for the support!!
When you said that you have a walk-in closet I was very surprised, and then you mentioned something like "I feel like we could basically live in here" :D So cute! Besides, your hair looks good :)
I love your new home set up!! I really love how you keep your countertops and living space clean and de cluttered and rather store everything away in the cabinets and closets! Makes for such a great look! I'm inspired to make my home more spacious by doing this! Such a simple thing that makes a huge difference! Also I adore that fruity coexist shirt! I just might have to add it to my wardrobe 😍 I love you Brittany!
Briana! I love you and your comments! When do I get to meet you in person!? Thank you so much for watching and for sharing these thoughts. Yess, the open, clean surfaces feel really good for me. I agree about a simple thing making a huge difference. And that shirt is so great, right!? Plus, Annabel is a badass and I feel inspired wearing something she made :)
I'm moving from VA to ATX in 3 weeks and have had to simplify my "stuff" so much for the move. Thanks for sharing your simple space! It gives me more courage to let go of my stuff. I don't have carpet in my new place, but love the idea of not having a couch. I think I might play around a little with that idea:)
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing this! I love that we live different lives. So fun to get to learn from one another! So much gratitude and love to you!
Wow thanks for sharing! I never heard anybody say that they don't really like furniture. Do you also prefer to have a meal on the floor, or holding the plate in your hand? I got a dining table recently and I enjoy having the back support of the dining chairs, and not having to hold my plate, so I'm curious x) Would you reflect more on your process/relation with furniture? (Like in the " why I don't..." videos, I love how you talk about your relation with things like body hair, what it meant to you in the past and how that changed) Also, do you think if you ever intend to stay longer in a place, you would value furniture or decoration more? The place reminds me of my places before moving out, but in places where I think I'll stay more I tend to invest more, for example by painting the walls.
I love the simplicity! Thanks for showing us around- it's really interesting to see how little is actually necessary. Ps, those purple shorts were amazing. :)
Very cool house! I like how it seem perfectly clean and neat, I'm a minimalist too but I have a small studio and seem too crowded as I keep here also my business stuff ;/
haha. I'd love to share it! We talk about some of the new ones we got in this unboxing vid! ua-cam.com/video/kw2KOY47T-Y/v-deo.html Or about how had to throw out some of our toys in this one (funny story): ua-cam.com/video/vH9IZ_v4lJI/v-deo.html
Thanks for asking! We specifically want a lot of space. While it may look like we aren't using most of our space, this is actually how we use it, lol. We do a lot in the big open space in the living room with acrobatics and handstand training, plus having people over. And it feels important to have a separate room for sleeping for us. We wanted two rooms, not just one big room. Thanks for the opportunity to reflect more on this! I've come to realize how much I'm enjoying open, bright, spacious spaces lately!
I loooved the intro, Brittany. I watched it three times in a raw. Then it struck me that you went on the side for the camera to come in. I felt like coming to you, like for greeting. Haha. You mentionned later your sex toy bag. Would you go through its content in a vid and tell us the hows and whys ? As for températures, we share the same. After three days we tend to get used to it. The main problem being having enough renewable air in flats. Also, I can see that even in the US, the bike storage has not been thought of when they design buildings. I wish it would be compulsory as they are almost never included. Take care and see you Brittany.
Just by curiosity ... Since I don't live in the states (I live in Montreal, Canada) I have no idea of what is the average rent price in Houston, TX... so I was wondering if 1050$/month is in the average or so? :O
haha. Buena pregunta. Un dia de estos! es que...tengo un poco de verguenza... y ya que tengo anos sin hablar diariamente, quien sabe lo que pasaria! xo
She does her own UA-cam channel, but she’s very much not a minimalist by any means.XD But she’s super nice, if you still watch other UA-camrs she’s defiantly worth checking out.
Great question. With the solar panel we have now we don't get enough power for that, however we have a friend who lives in his RV in Austin and his roof is covered in panels and he just about gets enough to do it! Although he says during the heat of the day, the AC doesn't help much.
Brittany Taylor that's good to know, I'm trying to figure out how to design my van so that my dog will be okay. Does your friend have insulation in their van and reflectix in the windows?
hahaha. But now I've become a total snob- All I could think about while I edited this was how much the lighting sucked as I changed spaces! You rock. xoxo
hahah welcome to my world! it's a great insight. more observation, more to love! Also, i thought the lighting was great! very natural, can't wait to tell you about then next thing for ya!
haha I'm not sure! I imagine it's different for everyone. For me I'm always changing and growing. It was my highest delight to live in an RV for a while. Now it's my highest delight to have more space! I think being in nature is calling me next, but who knows!
Thanks for asking and thanks for the helpful comment back, Kristin! Carmen, if you are interested, I talk more about that here: ua-cam.com/video/W2P_6houkNQ/v-deo.html
Carmen Benitez it's way better for you to wear no shoes. Earthing has tremendous benefits. Not to mention the issues shoes cause for our physical alignment.
i am all for less stuff. i get having just what you truly need but i can not understand the lack of color in all these videos. you can have less and still love color. i also never see any window coverings, curtains or blinds. just because you have less shouldn't mean you have no privacy. that might put some people off.
LOL, that being said, very inspirational so thank you! I'm moving in two weeks and rn I'm in the process of getting rid all of my 'extraneous possessions'. I cant wait

Love the simple spaciousness the only thing I would add is plants but you guys already said you aren't going to be staying in one place for very long
I LOVE your new apartment and it's so clear that you are getting so much joy from it. You look so happy.
Whenever I have a down day, I think of you and it lifts my spirits.
Much love pretty lady.

That's a gorgeous apartment! Love the spaciousness, I absolutely love the open space & simplicity.
yay, thank you so much!
That was very cool and inspiring to see Brittany! Thank you for sharing your living space with us. 🌺
Oh geez I love your life, I have my dogs to start this life but would be so cool to have a soul mate.

I also have a chalkboard fridge and I swear it's changed my entire life. Amazing space girl!
Right!?? I totally feel you! Thank you!
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing! Every time I watch one of your videos, I tell myself "Ok, time to get rid of some stuff! I have wayyy too much junk!" Much love from Canada! 😘
haha. I love that. I'm honored! So much love to you in Canada! xoxo
I love how you practically own nothing but have a Vitamix and two bikes :) great video, we truly don't need much to be happy.
I love this!! So simple, spacious and easy!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!!

You and Conor are such an inspiration! Much love from Southern California
Thank you! This feels amazing. So much love to you in Southern Cali!
Thanks for sharing Brittany! Sometimes spreading out a little and having more openness and space feels amazing! 💙
Yes, I totally agree!
I love your new home set up!! I really love how you keep your countertops and living space clean and de cluttered and rather store everything away in the cabinets and closets!

hahaha. Word efficiency indeed! I like that
Jappy1981 I
Great video !!! love the simplicity!!! I tried the link to the mat..but i don't think it works maybe??
Love it! Thanks for sharing! You live very differently from me and that's why I love your videos.
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing this! I love that we live different lives. So fun to get to learn from one another! So much gratitude and love to you!
Thank you Brittany. To you too!

You are glowing Brit, beautiful apt!
Awww, thank you so much!!
Johanna M I think she is glowing too - wink wink!!!
hahaha. not yet... ;)
"This is actually our bag of sex toys" I LAUGHED SO HARD
hahaha. So glad you enjoyed that :)
Thank you for the tour! Could you do a video on your wardrobe? I know you did them before, i am curious how much more clothes you have now (and why)
Yes! I'd love to do an updated wardrobe vid. Thanks for asking!!
Really cool though, I'm starting to try and go minimalist and this was really nice to see 🤙🏻
Love those cute acrobatic shorts!
I love the simplicity! Thanks for showing us around- it's really interesting to see how little is actually necessary. Ps, those purple shorts were amazing. :)
haha, right!? I love the purple shorts. Thank you so much for sharing this reflection! It was great to share the tour with you all!
Do you feel you are wasting less food/produce now you have a fridge and freezer? Is it helping your food budget to have a full size fridge?
Welcome back to Austin!
Thank you!!
Hey, you're wearing a *COEXIST* t-shirt! A *Living Life Fruitfully* Annabel supporter!
Ha, you mention that later in the video. Should have finished watching it first.
haha, yes! She is so awesome!
lol no, I like that you said it right away! xoxo
I love the casual, "This is our bag of sex toys." Yes, yes, yes!
Very cool house! I like how it seem perfectly clean and neat, I'm a minimalist too but I have a small studio and seem too crowded as I keep here also my business stuff ;/
Hi Brittany, this is Michaela. You're apartment is beautiful.x
Thank you so much!
Goya products in the freezer are Cuban products although they sell it in Mexican stores
OMG would love to see the toy stash.
haha. I'd love to share it! We talk about some of the new ones we got in this unboxing vid! ua-cam.com/video/kw2KOY47T-Y/v-deo.html
Or about how had to throw out some of our toys in this one (funny story): ua-cam.com/video/vH9IZ_v4lJI/v-deo.html
Fun! Thanks for the tour :-)
Thanks for watching!!
Love your hair today!
I was just wondering why you didn't go for a studio apt. You aren't using most of your home and the rent is so high. Just curious
Thanks for asking! We specifically want a lot of space. While it may look like we aren't using most of our space, this is actually how we use it, lol. We do a lot in the big open space in the living room with acrobatics and handstand training, plus having people over. And it feels important to have a separate room for sleeping for us.

thank you for explaining
It's so my pleasure! Thank you for asking!
I do love your content and respect if you are ever sponsored by gym shark one day in the future.coz girl you were rocking them leggings 😘😘😘😘😘
haha, thank you so much!!! That feels amazing. And I'd loveee to be sponsored by them someday! Weeeee!
Such a simple apartment, it's so refreshing to see! :)
Thank you so much!
I have the same monkey!
haha, I love that!!!
She really just said our “bag of sex toys” 😂😂 I had to rewind that like hold on say whaaaat?!! Lol salute to that.
haha, yep!
I did the same thing
Please do an updated house tour of your new one or reply if I just can't find it and you have one up already heart

such a beautiful apartment! love how you are storing your bikes, so neat! 💃
Thank you! haha, yes that's a fun one ;). xo
Love the tour! Does your apartment have air conditioning?
Yes indeed!!
I am a pack rat, still on my mission... ah to look at your space feels niiiiice! Rock on, you two!!! ;b
xoxoxo
i love you guys and your videos :DD
yayy! Thank you so much!
Just by curiosity ... Since I don't live in the states (I live in Montreal, Canada) I have no idea of what is the average rent price in Houston, TX... so I was wondering if 1050$/month is in the average or so? :O
You guys are awesome :)
Thank you so much!!
Brittany!! Cuando vas a hacer un video en español?? Me encantaría :)
haha. Buena pregunta. Un dia de estos! es que...tengo un poco de verguenza... y ya que tengo anos sin hablar diariamente, quien sabe lo que pasaria! xo
Lol. Nice video. But when i heard the intro, i thought it was the breakfast club
Can you please make a video about your teeth care routine ? and explain the benefits of using all the products
Thanks for asking! I did this video here: ua-cam.com/video/YQ_ennPO1o0/v-deo.html
Is it just me or does she remind you of Graveyard girl aka Bunny? I love the apartment.
haha, I've never heard of her. So glad you like the apartment!!
She does her own UA-cam channel, but she’s very much not a minimalist by any means.XD But she’s super nice, if you still watch other UA-camrs she’s defiantly worth checking out.
Oh cool! I'll check her out!
Are there any plans to use solar panels on Winnie to provide constant AC?
Great question. With the solar panel we have now we don't get enough power for that, however we have a friend who lives in his RV in Austin and his roof is covered in panels and he just about gets enough to do it! Although he says during the heat of the day, the AC doesn't help much.
Brittany Taylor that's good to know, I'm trying to figure out how to design my van so that my dog will be okay. Does your friend have insulation in their van and reflectix in the windows?
$1050 a month?! I am living in the wrong area for reasonable rent. Thanks for the tour!
Do you have plates and silverware?
she's so pretty
You you guys still like your Thai mat?
Yes!! We love it! We have a link to it here and highly recommend it! conorandbrittany.com/recommended-products/
You need to trademark the "Shack" Shelf Rack (TM) stat!!
how did you get such great video quality?! :)
hahaha. But now I've become a total snob- All I could think about while I edited this was how much the lighting sucked as I changed spaces! You rock. xoxo
hahah welcome to my world! it's a great insight. more observation, more to love! Also, i thought the lighting was great! very natural, can't wait to tell you about then next thing for ya!
Thanks, Jeff. You are so awesome and inspiring. I'm so excited to learn the next thing from you!
Brittany Taylor right back atcha
what's oil pulling?
brit...the bed is polyester.also check out nondisposable life on instagram.love you.we must work on co2 levels.
Please watch luke storey on you tube...the video with Dr.jack kruse on light.it is good.all love.
how much does the apartment cost?
$1050, everything included.
1050 for a one bedroom....Austin is a little on the expensive side.
Yes, it's definitely gone up in pricing over the last few years.
why is it that most people that say theyre so happy living in a tiny place(200sq ft or less) end up moving into bigger places...!??...hmmmm😏😳😞
haha I'm not sure! I imagine it's different for everyone. For me I'm always changing and growing. It was my highest delight to live in an RV for a while. Now it's my highest delight to have more space! I think being in nature is calling me next, but who knows!
no shoes?
Carmen Benitez she rarely wears them. Talks about it in other videos
Thanks for asking and thanks for the helpful comment back, Kristin! Carmen, if you are interested, I talk more about that here: ua-cam.com/video/W2P_6houkNQ/v-deo.html
Carmen Benitez it's way better for you to wear no shoes. Earthing has tremendous benefits. Not to mention the issues shoes cause for our physical alignment.
Where do Conor's other girl friends live?
The other lovers and friends we have live all around the world! Many in Austin, in their own spaces :)
Is that a joke? Lol
1. Melons. 2. Bag of sex toys? 3. Handstands?
haha, yep!
Did she say 10.50 a month?
$1050 :)
The opposite of a hoarder.
Indeed :)
Did you say $10.50 a month?
Minimalist On A Mission lol I'm assuming 1050$.
i am all for less stuff. i get having just what you truly need but i can not understand the lack of color in all these videos. you can have less and still love color. i also never see any window coverings, curtains or blinds. just because you have less shouldn't mean you have no privacy. that might put some people off.
Girl..........
Did she say hella. Lol
lol yep
Please fix the white board, its crooked
haha, will do!
LOL, that being said, very inspirational so thank you! I'm moving in two weeks and rn I'm in the process of getting rid all of my 'extraneous possessions'. I cant wait
haha, thank you. Ooh, rock on! That's super exciting!!
Dude, you could have gotten a gym membership for $20/mo
That's a great option for sure! I'm desiring to have my own space to live in just like this one right now.
And also, it's not about the money for me.
This is my sex toy bag
