- Am I a minimalist? Can I as a person who owns more things than can fit into a suitcase still be allowed to say they're minimal?

I’m an “I want to be like Benita” minimalist. However anyone labels it, you have a beautiful way with spaces, and with words/video, and I’m grateful to your for sharing your lifestyle. It’s very inspiring! 🌻
Aww, you're so sweet, thank you!
This is so true, Penny. Simply love your channel Benita. It's like browsing an heavenly catalog. Greetings from South Africa.
I agree with this so much! So inspiring. I always looking forward to her lovely videos 😍
Me too!
Me too
“A space that doesn’t keep adding to my to-do list”. THIS really stood out for me. Thankyou for making me realise where my stress is coming from. 😘
Managing stuff is never a great feeling.
Hahaha I agree with you, here myself us the same , confirming where stress comes
I’m a green, gradual, practical minimalist as I used to be a hoarder and the impracticality of it hit me when I got sick. So I gradually sorted one box at a time from my bed until it was done.Then I made deliberate choices about my food n self care and got myself out of bed. The green aspect of understanding the amount of resources it takes to make my clothes, or the fossil fuels it takes to make plastics made me not re-hoard. Then I let go of painful relationships etc… when my life hurt less I started to regain my health, it’s a journey
Grey/white for decor, wool and wood for warmth, green plants for a touch of life.
Oh one more thing for warmth, that is "lighting"😊
Yes, here in Sweden ambient light at this time of year is really important!
Benita, I love what you said, "In my book you're a minimalist if you choose what you have around you intentionally." That is also my conception of minimalism--and, like you, I'm a gradual minimalist. You're far more advanced than I am, and very inspiring, thank you! 💕💕✨
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
Who would give this a “thumbs down?” Sad these people are so mean spirited. Benita, you are a Joy to listen to and your lifestyle is so calming and peaceful. I always look forward to your videos! Please ignore the negative ones….
I do try to ignore them 😅
@@BenitaLarsson some people are just jealous or???? Keep doing what you’re doing. You are inspirational ❣️
On the bright side, a thumbs down still increases the chances that someone will see your video. They count as engagement with the video, so little do those eejits know, they're still helping your channel!
“…not at all minimally inclined.” Very diplomatic way of saying “clutter bug”. Great video as always. Thank you!
Haha, yes, trying to be the diplomat 😅
So am I now that i turning 48yrs which 3 sons! My poor husband doesn’t understand how much hoarding and piling up of papers around our home - is depressing to me 😌. Thank you for your videos from here in Luanda city Angola 🇦🇴
I so understand the difficulty of living with someone who doesn't share your wish to minimize. All I can say is try to compromise. Maybe you can figure out a way to organize the papers together, if they can't be recycled.
Dear Diana (may I?) you cannot belive how much i understand you! I have a type of husband like the yours is...it is "encombrant" - he collects everyting, you can imagine....
@@miloslavahavelkova3794 Thank You so much ! Muito obrigada for appreciating and understanding what it feels like to live this way 🥰which my 18,15& yr old sons whom To make understand why I need my day’s to be as minimal as possible ! And yes please of course You can call me Diana 🇦🇴Boa noite ! From Africa
Thank you so much Benita for your response 💕I truly appreciate it . As a woman who was born in Kenya 🇰🇪, raised in Tanzania🇹🇿 (parents from both countries ) , gave birth to me boys in South Africa 🇿🇦and now live in my husband’s country of Angola 🇦🇴
I've always been a less is more person, even when my husband and I lived in our large country home. When we became empty nesters and decided to move into the city into an urban condo we definitely downsized. We got rid of 90% of everything we owned and slowly brought in only what was needed and or loved. We love our new home with its high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows , light wood floors and cool coloured interior.
It's definitely easier if the you live alone or your partner is on the same page as you and want to reduce and minimalize. We couldn't live any way else now, it's just such a comfortable easy way to live, so much less stress!!!
Love your channel 😊🍁🇨🇦
That sounds so lovely!
I am 31, no kids and 2 kitties. I fall into many of these categories of minimalism as well. When I spend time away from home and come back to my minimalist space I am always grateful. I’ve been enjoying your shorts of the fall beauty of Sweden. Would love to see a long “slow tv” one of Stockholm during the holidays!
Thanks for the suggestion! Great one!
Hi April
You’re absolutely right. For me, minimalism is synonymous with “make life easier”. Also, love the kitty closeups. 💕
Wish the kitties would want to appear more 😊
The whole suitcase minimalist started in the advent of social media. I've been a minimalist for over 30 years. It ebbs and flows. When I was single, yes I fit everything, minus furniture, into a duffle bag and backpacks. I married and I had more when my son was a baby and I needed a few things. Family life required a few more things but I also kept it decluttered and simple. He is older now and I moving back into a more curated but comfortable with a lot of frugal. LOL I am an artist, but my medium changes, so do the amount and type of supplies I use. I am an avid book reader but no longer have the shelves upon shelves of books, simply because I am moving a lot with my new job. At one point, I had 7 pets, because I could and it was where I was in my life. I now have just 2 cats. I started at minimal white everything, moved into some color in my 30's and now in my 40's, I am just piecing it together with what I absolutely love, and it's my own aesthetic. I also have had 3 different careers, so my wardrobe and lifestyle has moved with where I am. My biggest take away is do not be afraid to try something new, as long as you learn and grow from it. Be in the now, the rest really is just stuff.
Thank you so much for sharing!
The cozy part is what makes a home warm and inviting. You have to have that if your home is to be your refuge.
I totally agree with you!
The beautiful shot of the tree with red leaves 😍
Loved this calm video.
So happy you enjoyed it!
I am a frugal, practical, environmental minimalist. I seek to spend and own as little as is practical to be comfortable. I grow a garden, compost, reduce waste & shop second hand for all most everything. I am definitely not an into the minimalist aesthetic, as I LOVE color!!
I am also into a simplistic lifestyle. I keep my home, schedule, finances, eating and so much more as simple as possible.
I think minimalism is practicality. I like to look at my things but not all at once. .❤❤ I only buy things I love. I KEEP what I love.
Thanks Benita!
Marie
So true, love that!
Yes! I have finally reached the stage where i feel like there is still too much stuff. But i love those things. So i have a shelf in a cupboard where i am putting the extras, and i will change them out every now and again. I can't appreciate my nice things if there are too many of them together.
Well said! ❤❤
When I saw the notification I said "yeeeeah" I love your videos, they calm me down and they also bring a sense of balance. I am more and more fascinated with minimalism, it saves you from toxic things/habits/feelings and even people. Take care😍
Im so glad you enjoy them!
Your videos are very calming and very useful, Benita. Thank you for sharing with us
Glad you like them!
You are definitely a minimalist 😄 The perfect one in my book. Cozy and minimalism at the same time it’s a great combo.
Aww, so sweet of you to say, thank you!
I don’t like visual clutter but my husband does like rooms with character and colorful so it is either an eternal battle or just compromising. I fulfill my internal minimalist by cleaning up and keeping everything organized. Happy husband, happy life.
Compromise is key!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you have just one room the way you want it? That's not too much to ask, surely. It could be your bedroom, or the room where YOU spend the most time, or just a room where you can go to relax.
@@thatswhatisaid8908 sadly on a small 1br 1bth London flat it is difficult to have my own space that nobody touches. My desk is organized and minimal 🙂
Your opinions are so intelligent and well balanced. Some videos about minimalism make me anxious. Yours are calming and truly inspirational. Thank you so much.
I recently discovered your channel and have been happily binging on your videos. It's refreshing to see a content creator of a similar age and circumstance. I've been been slowly paring down items from earlier years and have had several epiphanies along the way of why I feel I need to keep things. It's very cleansing to have less. I think one of the simplest and so painfully obvious things that helped was getting over my need to keep "extras". Why do I need an extra bottle of shampoo, tube of toothpaste, dish soap, tins of food, etc. when I live a 15 minute walk from an area where I can purchase as I need it? Once I had that simple revelation, that spurred me on in other ways. I make a pie maybe twice a year. Why keep a pie tin when I can borrow one from a friend or family? Once I recognized much of my keeping of things was around misperceived scarcity, saying goodbye was so much easier.
A long way to say, fantastic channel and I look forward to your upcoming content. :)
I can’t imagine being an extreme minimalist. So I love this way of thinking about minimalism.
Me neither. I would miss having some comforts.
There should be another category for your cosy grey throw blankets - cat lure! 😊 Love the video Benita, thank you!
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Mini has the most beautiful shade of orange fur; so intensely bright! I enjoy seeing both of your kitties in your videos.
Your kitty wrapped in that blanket is just too cute!!! I also kiss my kitties heads, they love it. I really like the white squash for decor next to your candle. Thanks for another great peace inducing video. xx
Bonus much prefers if I don't make the bed, he loves the doubled up duvet 😊
My minamilist apt keeps me calm. Everything I have I love! I’m really so glad my life has become calm and peaceful. It really is from owning less This was a nice video. Thank you
Tack så mycket Benita for your lovely videos! For me, in addition to the definitions here and on Ashlynne's video, a minimalist is someone who enjoys decluttering and simplifying their life and spaces, who is repeatedly and naturally just drawn to that process, and for whom the letting go of no longer wanted items is (maybe even unusually) easy and pleasurable. Greetings from Finland!
I moved to another state and after 25 years of accumulation of things, it was so FREEING to release many, many items to others who would enjoy them and having them go to a new home. I am still working on my minimalism and I like how you said you're a minimalist if you intentionally choose what to have in your home (paraphrase). That's where I am right now. :D Always enjoy your inspiring videos and look forward to them! Thank you from Colorado!
Agree!
When we moved back to my home state of NJ from Florida is was GREAT way to minimize! That was my real starting point of learning to let go.
Moving is such a great opportunity to give your belongings the once over and decide if you still want, need or love!
Same thing here. Texas to Michigan. Plus no longer in the babies/toddlers/preschoolers stage. I let go of so much.
Hey, I am from Germany and so happy, that I can understand you better now because of the subtitles. Thank you, I enjoy your content 😊
I will forever appreciate this channel. You've helped my family a lot,since the pandemic till now your advices and lessons are inspirational and helpful to us.
My husband and I have been able to be minimal, conscious in spending,saving and lnve,sting wisely. We have able to earn on a weekly basis and it helps the family a lot. You're such a blessing to this generation. We all love♥️😊. I'm so happy to join you today too
Aww, I’m so happy if my channel has been helpful!
Since my colleague introduced me to this channel, I've never missed a content and I'm happy and I'm proud of myself because I've learnt and taught my kids a lot. I'm happy for you dear keep it up👍
Woah! I'm so much inspired. this channel is genius and well known am happy I'm used to her contents as well. Can you please share some tips on your weekly earning. I will be glad to learn from you
@@maureenchatterjee285 I can share some that helped me
1. Plan towards it
2. Be frugal an minimal on spending
(Don't buy what you don't need)
3. Save to (lnvest),it's a proven way to get richer.
Very important to financial success
@@hartbradley9795Yeah,I know you're speaking of lnvesting,How can one start a Great and profitable one?
Love to see u well Benita! I'm still on my way to the final point of minimalism, not so easy with 4 kids, but i get to resonable point of a manageble house. This is the most important for me in my minimalistic goal. Your video is a calm in the middle of a rainy day right now. Greatings from Italy
Ooh, 4 kids!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for your inspiration and energy refill, on a wet, dark and chilly October evening. I think “simplist “ is a good word in many ways. A more simplistic life is what I am aiming for. I don’t mind if it takes some time, I’m kind of enjoying the process, and it also gives me time to do my priorities. And your life can not constantly feel like a project, sometimes you just have to live your life like it is, in this very minute. And then you’ll find some inspiration, like this film, and you make another (or maybe two…😊) adjustment, and then you continue living your everyday life, and so on. It’s a lifestyle you choose, you will never be “finished “, it’s a lifelong process. Someone might be rather daunted by the thought, while I’m quite intrigued by it. It’s good for both brain and body (and sometimes your wallet…) to change your habits. Enjoy your evening!🍁🍂🌻
Simplist is a great word!
I really enjoy your way of minimalism. Thank you for your channel. It motivates me a lot.
Thank you so much!
Intento vivir con menos y deshacerme de aquello que no me hace sentir bien. Estoy teniendo el hogar y la vida en orden y soy feliz, pero todavía tengo que mejorar mucho. 🤍🤍
*I Have my own style of minimalism as well, the neutral colors I have as the base in my home and than I add pops of color, texture and wood. It's still minimal and clutter free but it's my aesthetic, while being practical, gradual and intentional.* 😊💕
I think it means something different to different people. I also think that those who go to the extreme are missing out on lovely comforts life has to offer. A home should be lovely, warm, cozy, inviting and a place you and family and friends look forward to being in. tfs 🥰🎃🍃🍂🍁🎃🌞🌛✝️🥰🎃🍃🍂🍁🎃🌞🌛✝️🥰🎃🍃🍂🍁🎃🌞🌛✝️
Everyone gets to decide for themselves!😊
I'm not a minimalist, but I love your videos. I used to do an annual 'cleanout' of things that I no longer use or don't use regularly. Your videos do make me look around and think that I need to clear some things out.
I love an annual clean out!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love how when you have a calm unified palette things like the bowl of confers and the green plants shine out.
That’s how I like to add color😊
I love the way your videos just radiate contentment Benita. That’s the key benefit of living your life in the way that suits you and not worrying about whether or not you fit some particular category or if you are making the same choices as everyone else. Every other Tuesday it’s a dose of loveliness.
I am not „minimal“ yet, but I have decluttert a lot, so almost every item has a home now.
It is really soothing 🥰
Love from Germany
That’s so great!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Benita, I love your stuff and I’ve looked at other minimalist sites but only yours seems to chime so well. I think I’ve figured out it’s because you are around my age whereas most minimalists that I’ve come across are so much younger and I struggle to relate to them. So enjoy your walks around Stockholm, seeing your cats and of course all your tips and tricks. Have a good weekend.
your versatile duck brings me so much satisfaction weirdly enough, haha, like the way you keep changing it.
I love that thing!
there is nothing better after a long and hard day at work than to come home and watch your latest video while eating in bed!
Thanks so much for watching!
I would call myself a wannabe minimalist, certainly not a maximalist. I love white walls, but I want color injected with some of my furnishings and decor. Like you, I want to feel calm when I enter my home. I achieve that by having stuff put away. One thing I struggle with is the paper clutter. When I take care of it right away, I then don’t have the burden of having to look at it later. One thing that will help me with this, I know, is to have companies remove me from their mailing lists and to have other notices be sent to me electronically. It’s a work in progress for me; I’m not giving up, though! I want calm, order, and a chance to do other stuff besides get my stuff in order. Thanks for your channel, I love your content, you inspire me so much!
Thank you for THIS video, I think that becaming a minimalist could be a calm and long process,but for me it's finding the balance between nice and pratical. And most of all feeling well in a confort place.
Bises aux chats et à vous 🙏👍😘
Yes, balance is a good thing!
I love your videos, sometimes I wish they were longer, I look forward to them each week! Love from Tampa, Florida.
So glad you enjoy them!
I can listen to you all day. I never understood why to buy staff and put it on shelves and never use it . Clean and staff free home it’s my thing .
I agree with you, I didn't live a minimalist life all the time, I mean for many years, I was quite maximalist....Now, my life is different, I am different too. So I think I have became a gradual minimalist, going practical and probably little bit aesthetic, but my ultimate goal is to downsize as much a possible, because a simple life is better under my point of view and that doesn't mean I count daily how many items I have, it means that I have what I need and like...and everything has a place. Good video Benita!! Good to see you!!🌼🙋🏼♀️
The wooden bird is adorable! 😍
So far the best definition of minimalism for me...thank you....
Ännu en fin film att titta på. Så behagligt innan man ska sova. Lugnet. 🙏 Bästa minimalist filmerna som finns.
Tack, så kul att du uppskattar!
Great video! I think I was a minimalist before I knew the term itself. Happy to find like minded people and videos now. Bonus not giving up his spot on the douvet, best thing ever 😂☺️
I agree, visual clutter makes me uneasy. And i love grey too.
Artful, tactile, edited = Benita 🧡🍁☕
Aww, thank you so much!
YOu're the first minimalist I subscribed too as I love these categories! I am definitely leaning towards gradual, practical, and aesthetic by removing the clutter. I've finished my living room for now and I feel so at peace when I get home until I walk into the other rooms in my apartment..LOL
I think it’s about having a carefully curated space where there are no unnecessary things, just the items you need for a comfortable and practical home. The number of items isn’t important, that they are useful or make your home attractive is the key
Hi 👋
Yes, I agree completely!
I really love the aesthetics of your home🌸🌸
Hi Benita,
you explained in a very simple way what the types of minimalism are. For me, being minimalist means separating myself from all that is not needed. I share everything you say. I always follow you and each video is more and more interesting and beautiful.
You are a perfect minimalist. kisses from Italy
Thank you so much!😊
Loved the video, and it was great to see the beautiful shiny conkers at the end. I used to live in England and as a kid would love hunting for those at the park. Thanks for the memory.
You are clearly a minimalist. Anybody who questions that should be ignored.
Wow, I like it!! Pretty cool to reinforce this great ideas. What I want is to have a peaceful home environment.
Your space is beautiful and peaceful
A few weeks ago we had someone come out to spray for spiders and ants and we were asked to pull everything away from the walls two feet for them to spray the baseboards. So my husband piled all our stuff from the garage into the middle and after the spray dried, he went to move it back and I told him to just leave it all there instead. Every day I have been setting my timer on my watch and I go out into the garage and spend one hour going through boxes and things and loading them into the car to drop off at the thrift store. It's been interesting because by leaving it there in the center, it gives me incentive because we can't pull our car back in unless the stuff moves, and as winter approaches, that's important. I also notice that an hour of actual purging, breaking down boxes, etc is enough for one day mentally. After an hour I notice that I start having trouble making decisions about what to keep and what to donate, and that's time to call it quits and go relax awhile. I also am putting every box I have filled with donations directly into the car and have been dropping them off as I go along. I have a few items I keep dithering over and I have told myself if I get rid of it now, I never have to deal with it again. That's usually the thing the spurs me on, like Benita I realize that the more stuff in my space, the more on my to-do list and I want time for other things.
What a great opportunity for decluttering!🙌🏻
Your thoughtful content has inspired me to reduce the amount of clutter in my home. I am working on it one room at a time, and pause to reflect the idea of "whether or not I really do need this object in my space." It is really working for me, and at the same time, decluttering allows me to appreciate the space without all the visual clutter. Your quiet demeanor and your voice are the perfect accompaniment for the valuable information you bring to your channel. Thank you Benita! I look forward to your videos every week!
I enjoy all your videos so much… but this one is special to me… we think very similar. My apartment has my identity too. It’s minimalist, but I like to mix a little with brazilian kraft and italian design and antiques that my family brought when immigrated from Italy… this made my home a quirk place, but the good thing is that it is cozy and people feel good to be here… love from Brazil! 😘❤️🌹
That sounds really lovely!
I would love a resource for your dishes and silverware. Beautiful, calm table setting.
All home sources can be found here www.benitalarsson.com/sources/where-to-get-it
@@BenitaLarsson thanks. I did look there but did not find dishes or silverware. Perhaps I am not looking in the right category. I know you hear this all the time but you really have a gift for showing, speaking, living calm. It’s an essential quality so many people crave. Thank you. 💕
I agree, it's about intention. You can have 300 books and still be a minimalist in my opinion. So long as you are intentionally keeping all of them, and they add value to your life.
I love all of your videos. Many of them, I've watched several times, including this one. Love your definition of minimalist!
You are right! It's so much easier to clean the house! Having enough is all we need! Simple, happier life! 💚 Thank you for this video! Have a nice day! 🤗
Thank you so much for watching!😊
Minimalist goals! ❤️
I love your video, the kitties, the cozy vibe, and your explanation. So many labels people want to stick on you if you're not fitting in the white, black and empty space minimalism. I use strong colours, furniture from all over the world, don't have an office but a huge table. Pillows for the kitty cats, love plants, books, lots of electric candles to add to the coziness. Still the big house all my kids fit in. Yet I am a minimalist. Living with maximalist XD
Living with a maximalist!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I would LIKE to be minimalist inclined and I AM working on it. I've realized (at my age) that I just don't need all this "stuff", and especially when ya die... nobody wants to deal with all your stuff! It just makes things easier all the way around. Thanks for another great video, and I love that pair of living room chairs!!
Wanting to is a great start!🙌🏻
Simple yet cozy.☺️
Lovely cats, eyeglasses and candleholder!
I agree, I want to be a minimalist like you. It looks very pleasing.
Thank you so much!😊
Gracias por la expresión de minimalismo cercano a la realidad. Intento vivir de forma simple con personas y cosas que me den paz, armonía y tranquilidad. Estoy aprendiendo a tener solo lo que necesito para llevar una vida plena.🤗
So happy to have finally been able to add subtitles!
Great video as always! I hope you are well!
It is my fav youtube channel! I specially love clothes, shoes related videos. The less things I have, the cleaner my house is. In spanish I say constantly “no quiero un trasto mas” which means I don’t want a junk object anymore!
Really love this one. And now I go and watch Ashlynne Eaton.
Thank you Benita, your videos are both very informative and very aesthetic to watch, the images are superb. Thank you for your elegant and very inspiring videos . Merci Benita, tes vidéos sont à la fois très instructives et très esthétiques à regarder, les images sont superbes. Merci pour tes vidéos élégantes et très inspirantes .
Lovely video Benita 🤍 This made sense to me. It is imperative I feel good in my home space. When I do not feel calm, I remove, move or change something in my home to keep it in balance. Calm again 🤍
Decluttering and tidying definitely has a calming effect on me too!
So inspiring! Thank you for talking and taking me through this. I would love to go minimalist too. Wish me luck!😊
Your minimalism type is truely insipiring, Benita. I think I'm learning great lessons from you. Thank you.😊
I’m so happy if you find my videos useful!
I am working at it. A work in progress. Bob in USA.
I am gradually getting there, it’s taking a while to undo 20+ years of non-minimalist life though. I am very environmentally conscious so I am using things up, selling things, etc which makes the process slower. It’s cathartic though and it teaching me patience. I am really enjoying fixing things as well. Just had two pairs of Birkenstocks resoled at the end of this summer so the are ready to go for next year.
Me encanta tu estilo minimalista tu hogar 🏠 luce elegante y a cogedor y relajado 😌 y los animalitos sirven de terapia a mi me fascinan gracias Benita 🍁🍂🙏🥰
Thank you so much!😊
I believe I'm the same type of minimalist as you Benita. Everything I have in my space must serve a purpose and be practical. I don't like a stark/sterile environment so having an aesthetically pleasing home that is cosy too makes me happy.
I noticed you replaced your old rug. I just love the new one. 💞
To have a good vibes II always to watch your video 😍 greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
What a nice and useful video…it allow us to be where we are in the process and also why we’re doing all the changes. And it’s true that if you were a maximalist because of the needs of the family or our parental heritage there is more to do and declutter. My father use to have more tools than the biggest hardware store of the region and he had the squirrel syndrome too.I grab it from him I think and when he died, I was the only child and with my mom the stock he had cause us some headache. I love my father a lot, but because of his life story and behaviors I catch that ´ missing something is a kind of threat’´ When I became a single parent mom with my autism son It was such a big time to go to the groceries with him and i began to bought more food to minimise the trips to the groceries., and so on. I really proud of my process to becoming a practical, aesthetic, mix in frugal and green (stil in process) but I like the way it goes for now and the futur. Benita you are inspiring and I love this video so much and thank’s to let us know the adorable girl and his catégories of minimalist those are more inclusive way to see the concept.
Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Nicely done, Benita!
Thank you so much!
This was so beautiful and relaxing to watch. And listen..
Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I think I am yours plus green. Also untidy lol. I feel better when my space is tidy but I struggle with this! Also I love that little wooden bird, and the little lamp in the windowsill at the end. I’ve watched Ashlynne for awhile.
I also feel much better when I'm in a tidy space so I keep it that way!
Even if m not fond of pets , i still enjoy watching your vlogs , thanks
Oh my god you made my day pulling the bed cover with the kitty - sooo cute!!
I have a daily struggle making my bed 🤣
“A home that calms me down and allows me to be just me.” ❤️
I appreciate this video because I wasn't sure if I fit into the minimalist category, but hearing you explain it shows me that I am on my way. A day by day journey of loving just what I have around me. Loving my home and getting rid of anything that takes away from that. Your home looked cozy, inviting, and clean!
Lovely video, Benita. I did laugh out loud as you pulled the comforter up and the look on the cats face seem to say " This wasn't on my agenda"!
Yeah, Bonus would rather I never made my bed 😅
I absolutely love our videos! Such a source of inspiration in my journey towards minimalism.
gradual, practical, cozy, minimalist-so far 🙂
