1 Year, 2 Million Views: Story of The Healthy Minimalist Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2020
- One year ago, we uploaded the Healthy Minimalist Home Tour. It's one of the first few videos that we published on Thoughtworthy Co's channel, and arguably the one that started it all!
Here's a little background story behind our home, and the video that accidentally went viral!

#minimalism #minimalisthometour
August 15 marks the one-year anniversary of our home tour video! Not 100% sure what the point of this video is 😅 but we just wanted to honor the video that started it all. We hope you learn something new and interesting about Thoughtworthy with this :)
ANNOUNCEMENT!
We started a newsletter, the Thoughtworthy Quarterly! If you haven't, make sure you sign up for it here:
thoughtworthy.co/quarterly/ Good day!
in answer to the question of why they were successful is:
-the quality of editing and content was excellent
-In addition, the topic you discussed was fashionable but you gave it another approach, more interesting, speaking about things that few had spoken
(Sorry for my bad English, I hope you can understand me)
Native English speaker here- I understood your comment, and completely agree ^^
High production value makes videos much more palatable to watch through!
Minimalism has been a trendy topic, but HL and Glo have presented their home in a way that feels both more accessible and personal.
Basically, it's real Thoughtworthy.
Like Tiffany said, your English is just fine! Thank you both, we greatly appreciate it 💕💕
Very well said Francisco :)
I clicked on the minimalist home tour video because it looked "refreshing": the design felt familiar yet distinct. Minimalism lacks the bells and whistles of more luxurious homes, but it's more achievable and functional, too. I think we as consumers crave relatable content, and seeing a different, feasible design was compelling because of its accessibility.
Although you called the video work sloppy, I was impressed by how deliberately each shot was cut, and how clearly delighted you and Glo were with your space. That pride is infectious, and I've kept clicking on all of your content since :)
Thank you for sharing your stories, and cheers to more to come!
Thanks Tiffany, as always :)
Guess as the creators, we kinda look at our work (especially the earlier ones) a little differently (haha)! We'll keep them coming 💪💖
The perfect life i am looking for.
Healthy happy and humble life.
Congrats on your success. ❤️
You are showing us a completely different way of living. Your style, your way of being is absolutely unique, incredibly refreshing and powerful. Your focus is on happiness, creativity and love. Two beautiful human beings, on the inside and outside :)
Thank you, you're too kind! 🙏💖
It's so refreshing to watch you live meaningful lives, even when society tells us we must always have more and want more. Finding your channel has helped me think more intentionally about my own path, and I'm super grateful for that!
So glad to hear that :) We hope to keep creating quality, thoughtful videos. Thank you! 💕
This video really shows how you two have a healty relationship and made the correct choices together never stopping. I'm so happy for both of you! You can explain very easily your style of living and it's very aspiring :) Good luck on your journey together!
Thank you! Good luck and have fun on your own journey as well! 💕
I look at you and see that you truly live what you preach. There are too many faux minimalists in Social Media. You can see the truth throughout your entire life.
Your voice is so soothing. I think you guys should do a podcast!
We are thinking about it! :)
I don't know about others, but I clicked on this video because the story behind your channel relates to me so much as a Singaporean. It's one thing to go minimalist in your lifestyle choices in a country where it is more widely accepted, and another thing to do it in Singapore.
As a fresh graduate who just can't really find any sense or meaning in the socially accepted 9-5, 5.5 days a week job, your pursuit of happiness on your own terms and your journey to define success for yourself really inspire me. I've decided to dabble in different part-time jobs, occasionally juggling 2 or 3, to meet that perfect balance of job satisfaction (in one of my jobs), work-life balance, and financial independence (in another). I know what I want for myself in life, but it's hard to maintain that rhetoric when it's so new to the people around me, and most of them think it's just 'a phase' I'll grow out of. That's why, your channel is so reassuring to me. It echoes exactly what I want, in the context I'm living in, and it assures me I'm not alone in this lonely pursuit of the unknown, everchanging 'happiness'.
I also love your other video which speaks about how you almost quit Thoughtworthy Co in the past. It's intimate. It's honest. And it resonates a terrifying amount with me. If I could, I would love to see more of such videos about the realities of choosing such a lifestyle in SG - the brutal, the ugly, as well as the pleasures on the other side of it. Like, did you ever think about "What if" you have any children? Or "what if" your priorities changed in the future? Or getting a part-time job to get by, in the months when Thoughtworthy isn't doing as well? Your retirement plans, and back-up plans in case this doesn't work? These are all thoughts that fill my mind as I enter my 2nd year of fumbling around post-graduation. I would appreciate such videos, but if these are all too intrusive, by all means, you don't have to answer them. I just want you to know how much your videos are supporting me just by being there. :)
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment! It means a lot to us to know our content resonated with you and has made a difference. We'd definitely love to talk about some of the things you mentioned, so we'll be keeping your suggestions in mind. Really appreciate this; hope you have a lovely day :)
I shared it in a minimalistic group in Singapore! I was watching minimalist home so UA-cam recommend. I like how you do the videos!
Thank you Emily! :)
Been supporting your channel since you uploaded a year ago. Hope you get more subscribers! The content in this channel is A+.
We really appreciate the support! Thank you 🙌💖
Your home is beautiful. Simple and full of love. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words! 💖
Thank you for your positivity.. I've watched all of your videos. My fav are: healthy minimalist home tour, and minimalist wardrobe. I've watched more than 20 times for each video. So many lessons from you two. Thank you so much. 😊❤️
😲 20 times!
Thank you for your positivity too! 💕
I just want you to know that I'm very thankful to found Thoughtworthy on UA-cam. You guys inspired me to live minimalist. And I want to have minimalist home too. Now on I'm still progressing to live minimalist.
I bit jealous that you both perfectly match each other and share the same vision. Luckily. I hope can find someone whose share the same vision to live minimalist. Greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I drop a tear at the end of this video :') ...You are definitely an inspiration for me and for many people. Don't stop! Greetings from Merida, Yucatan, MX
Thank you! 🙏
I've watched a few of your videos in a row, and I've subscribed because in each video, I've gotten this wonderful impression of peace and genuine sincerity. You're friendly and goofy and earnest, and I've simultaneously felt respected as guests in your home, and welcomed as friends. You two nailed it in terms of video presence.
Thank you for all the kind words, we appreciate it so much :)
Have a wonderful day! 💖
imma singaporean myself addicted to minimalist apartment tours and am quite proud to finally see one from sg garnering so much views & attention since majority of the ones i watched are from us (nyc, la etc) so kudos to yall 😌
Im not a fan of minimalist until i saw ur videos n im a fan of u guys ever since. Thanks thoughtworthy 🦾. Wishing u guys making more contents ahead n having more wide audiences. Worth every seconds 👍🏻
Thanks so much for that, it means a lot! Take care and stay safe 🙌
Such a great channel, basing success on health and happiness. What a way to live! Much love from Africa -Kenya
Thanks for the kind words :) Wishing you lots of health and happiness 🙌
Amazing! Your home looks just plain and simple. We like it here. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thank you! Best wishes from Singapore 👋💕
Your home tour video has a special place for me when I first watched it.
I feel many self help channels over time lacks and losing their connection and feel of humble everyday people with flaws and imperfection.
What connected me the most was that sense of connection with u guys, (maybe because I'm also from an SEA country) therefore I'm super glad that your core values are very much aligned with what I had felt from the first video that I watched.
I hope that you guys would reach higher heights! Cos your videos are what the world needs right now. Humility and connection to humanity.
Thanks Andy! Your words mean a lot to us. We'll keep doing our best, best wishes to you :)
THANK YOU FOR EXISTING!! :) Spreading wellbeing one video at a time
Thank you, you're too kind! 💖
Funny how youtube randomly suggest videos. This time they got it right!!! Subscribed!
Thanks!! 🙌
Your story is truly inspiring! I have to remind myself that you don't need a lot to be happy. A lot of my happiness comes from experiences and travel rather than material things. Looking forward to future content :)
Beautiful story, so glad that you decided to share it with us through this channel. You two are a great inspiration!
You guys are one of my biggest inspirations. I was already a minimalist before i found your channel a year ago and when i did, i loved being one even more. ♥️♥️
Your videos are so great, compact, yet full of what it means to chase happiness trough living simple. Thank you for inspiring other people, including myself 🙏
Thank you for appreciating our content! 😁💕
I love your home tour and some ides like the dining table that can be stored away. I am so grateful to discovered Muji's floor chair. You have a lovely home. :)
less is more. i've been watching your videos and i really like what you guys are doing. fantastic!
this is beautiful, simplistic and uplifting. i aspire to have such a lifestyle. thank you for this :)
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING !!!

I loved watching that video. I recall being an early adopter/subscriber and have felt so inspired by how you live out and inspire through your minimalist lifestyle. you model so much joy it makes me want the same thing
Thank you for the support the past year! It means a lot to us 🙏💕
How wonderful. Congratulations, you two. Here's to another great year of making your own happiness.

I remember watching all of your videos the day that one popped up on my recommendations. I subscribed because I love the quality of content, short and simple videos, and what I take as a slow and steady approach. I enjoy your channel immensely.
🥰 Glad to have you!
You both introduced your version of happiness, and it greatly resonated with me ❤️☀️ keep it going!

Happy Birthday Thought worthy 🤗👌
Congratulations! I love your home and have a secret dream to live just like you do, in a home filled with movement and easy to handle furniture.
Thanks for sharing all these with the world
This channel deserves more subs.
Thank you! 💖
Thank you for once again a very inspirational video x
Hi Thoughtworthy! First time I watch your home tour video I was HOOKED.
I always want to be a minimalist (yes I am still working on it). I search for many many inspirations on youtube, but yours was the most relatable, at least for me (and maybe another 71K+ subs too!). Your video is simple, easy to understand, and realistic. The video take was excellent and you two are so cute together! I currently also are in a commited relationship, and I set your apartment and lifestyle as references for our future. Oh, and also I learn a lot of relationship advice from you!
So, I'd like to thank you for the videos, and I hope this channel will grow beautifully and soulfully, just like you two!
Thank you for being so kind :) Best wishes to you and your partner as well 💕
Congratulations and thank you for sharing your stories with us.
It's our pleasure :) Thank you for watching and listening to our stories 🙏
Good Job guys! Thank you for your inspiration and explanation for your aparment design. I am fond of your home decoration, because it is simple, cheap and fulfills all your needs and I believe 2 million people love it, because they see your happiness in combination with simplicity and that is brilliant! No fancy wardrobe or couch needed. Just you two and creativity in a simple manner.
Thank you! Greatly appreciate it :)
Thank you 🖤
You rock.✨
Much motivating 🥰
Love you guys😍❤️
You are awesome 🤩
Thanks for giving me the best approach of minimalism..🙏😊

Wow i am really impressed by the words and definition of success and happiness. I really like all of your videos because they are simple but very effective at the same time. I would say you should upload more videos. Keep up the work, Best of luck.
Thanks! We will do our best :)
❤️ from Argentina. I love your channel.
Really appreciate it! Thanks and best wishes from Singapore 💖
I really liked this video because the minimalist apartment video was the first I saw. And I watched it various times because I think your apartment is great and I liked that you were really coragous in stepping out of the "normal". I like minimalism and I am trying to simplify but I am a mother of 3 kids and this means stuff, but I have already achieved some things here in our home and I am going to continue. I think you guys are great and the quality of your videos as the content is really good. You deserve all the sucess and I wish you the best. When I start watching your videos I hit right away the like button because I know that it will be good!
Waiting already for the next video or your quarterly (no pressure 😉)
Greetings from Portugal.
Thank you Natalie for the support! We hope to produce better content (videos and quarterlies), and more frequently too 💕 Best wishes!
Bravo and keep on keeping on mates :)
Love everything about u guys...bless...xo
🙏💕 thank you. Best wishes 😊
Beautiful channel, nice attitude. You’ve reached ... us!
Thank you! 🙌💖
But thats exactly why I absolutely love your home, its simple and yet so specific. Can you make a video about the benefits of sitting on the floor for work?
They actually have a video up titled "Why We Sit on the Floor"!
Thank you!
Here's the link to the video Tiffany was referring to: ua-cam.com/video/lk6iBopDPgA/v-deo.html
Here's an IG post of ours with some information too: instagram.com/p/B1gdUl3Hvrx/
I think what drew me to your videos were two things: content and style.
On the content side, your videos are informative and thought-provoking, with no "filler" content, as I call it. I can only speak for myself, but I would much rather have one or two uploads a month with good quality content than one or two uploads a week with meaningless content. Part of this is that I think that when UA-camrs upload every week, there is simply less time to make good quality, engaging videos, while I know that with your channel each upload brings a fresh perspective and ideas worth listening to.
I think it's the style side, however, that really makes your videos shine for me, and even the small things like the title make a big difference. Your video titles are concise and informative and the formatting gives each video a clean and professional appearance. Whenever I see a title in all capitals, I immediately want to close the video because, to me, these videos often have a clickbait-like feel and provide little value.
I am also a big fan of the presenting style, with the video coupled with a voiceover, rather than talking directly to the camera, which I think works excellently for the types of videos you produce and creates a really soothing effect. It means you can make videos which are coherent and professional while still making them feel personal, without the egocentricity that can come across when talking to the camera. It also means that, if you do decide to make a video where you talk directly to the camera, it feels that much more impactful and personal.
I am really impressed by the quality of your videos, and I know that when I click on a new upload from you, I will come out of it feeling calm, refreshed, and having learned something new, and that makes it such a wonderful viewing experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! We're so glad that many of the things you mentioned are exactly what we strive for our videos to be. It means a lot to us, and it pushes us to want to do so much better in our future videos. Thank you! 🙏💕
This was beautiful:) I would like to ask you if you could include in the future some suggestions about books or readings on this "philosophy of life" you embraced (not really sure how to define it). Thank you:)
Thank you, and thanks for the idea! It's quite a huge topic, our "philosophy of life" is influenced by so many things (and not necessarily books/reading), let us think about how we can make it work :)
I love your channel, especially because there is a real drought for mature lifestyle content here in Singapore and I was wondering if you had recommendations for other Singaporean youtube channels (they don't have to be fellow minimalists) it is just hard to find other Singaporean creators here on UA-cam.
keep producing more thoughtworthy content! :)
We will! 🙌💖
Please upload more regularly! ☺️
We'll try our best!! 💖
I like the thought design the place »like having achieved nothing at all«. Brilliant. How did you get to that thought?
❤️
Love from India ♥️
can you do a run through of your husbands wardrobe, I really like his shorts
Congrats dear🖤🖤🖤
Thanks! :)
😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can anyone tell what those seats and tables are at 5:12?
Where did you guys purchase those floor tables? I prefer sitting on the ground too but unfortunately, don't have many of those options in the US!
Ours are tables from IKEA that we shortened the legs of. Check out www.thoughtworthy.co/favorites for more info :)
Hello you two, i like your videos very much and it’s very inspiring to me. I would like to know which plant you have in your flat and would be happy about a feedback.
Kindly regards from Berlin,
Max
Thanks for your kind words! What you see in this video is a fiddle-leaf fig, philodendron and calathea plant. The former two are fairly easy to take care of, but the calathea was a little finicky and sadly no longer with us. We've added a chinese money plant, snake plant and several others since then!
wow I watched that video on Oct 2019
🙌
So cute guys. #Goals
😊
❤❤
💕💕
Where can I get that floor desk?
