Hi Karen! I think the shoulders pads that are sold separately are the ones that already come with my laptop Kånken, as I haven’t seen anything else! So sadly, I won’t be able to make them more comfortable, but thank you for the suggestion! 🫶🏼

Cute doesn’t matter when carrying isn’t comfortable. Keep the weight down and it’s tolerable

Hi! 100% agree! It is a shame though if you like the style of a backpack and it isn’t as comfortable. For me weight is not an issue as I don’t pack heavily. Just comparing it to my Targus which is much more comfortable, I always will choose it over my Kånken. Thanks for the input! 🫶🏼

Hi! Thank you! And they’re definitely there on the clothing section 😊🫶🏼

Hi! Thank you so much! 🫶🏼

Hi Julie! Thank you! 🫶🏼

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion, but I have been using my nose strips for around 5 years and have no problems with them! I always moisten the strip before peeling it off. I also searched Intake breathing strips and the price is way too much for what it is ($39.99 for 15! Mine are 310 for $26.99), thanks also for watching! 🫶🏼

Hi Karen! Thank you so much for your continued support and to see that you’re still enjoying my videos! 🫶🏼

Hi Myra! Awh thank you so much for your lovely comment, it means a lot to have your support! I’m happy to know that you’re still enjoying my videos and I will do a handbag collection soon (even though it’s not much haha)! 🫶🏼

Hi Katie! I’m glad my video was helpful, have an amazing time in Daytona Beach! 🫶🏼

Hi Maeve! Thank you! And yes, I still use my Vardag pocket, I am actually planning on taking it with me to Crystal River this month. It’s a great bag for my more active, outdoor vacations and also to city vacations where I am happy to be very casual. So yes, still love it! 🫶🏼

Hi Brooke! That’s a great tip! Thank you for watching 🫶🏼

@@MinimallyAnnabel ❤️

Hi! Thank you! I’m glad my video is able to help you with your travels, enjoy Toronto! 🫶🏼

Hi Deborah! Here is the link for the pots on Amazon: a.co/d/055vXrig hope that helps! 🫶🏼

Hi! Thank you for the lovely comment! As for the e-reader I actually don’t know anyone that owns one to borrow! 😅 I also find it funny how a lot of viewers like to push this upon me, but I am truly happy with carrying a book. My iPad has other purposes I need for a trip so I would not swap out one for the other, meaning that I would have to carry both an e-reader and the iPad anyway, so I’d rather just have the book. Thank you again for watching! 🫶🏼

Hi! Thank you so much! 🫶🏼

Hi! This is the exact backpack I’m also interested in… I may have to take the leap and get it at some point! 🫶🏼

Hi Joselyn! I have considered a more expensive backpack with better “features”. But having a cheaper one means that I don’t have to be too precious with it. It goes on the floor on airplanes and in airports, so I don’t see the need to get something expensive. We will see how long this backpack lasts, I have been eyeing up a Tom Bihn but the price tag is hard to justify… 🫶🏼

@@MinimallyAnnabel yes I have an eye on a t Tom Bihn for many many years but it is pricy.

Hi! Here is the Amazon link: Wavytalk Mini Flat Iron 0.7 Inch... www.amazon.com/dp/B09CGK36WN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Hope that helps! 🫶🏼

Hi! Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, I never weigh my bags but if it’s easy for me to carry I can guarantee it’s not going to be that heavy… 😅🫶🏼

Hi Antoinette! Thank you! I’ll keep that idea in mind! 🫶🏼

Hi Laura! Thank you! And I’ll try to make the collection video soon, I know keeping a small collection can be VERY tricky, I still struggle internally with bags (my 2nd weakness to skincare products) haha 🫶🏼

@@MinimallyAnnabel oh no hurry on that video, just saying it would be fun to see. And I certainly relate, bags for me was harder to pare down and still is as I used to be into designer bags a lot more than I am now and it’s harder to part with those. Shoes and jumpers were my other big category but my mindset has shifted a lot through minimalism.

Just ordered the Cuyana in Cappuccino!

Amazing! I hope you like the bag as much as I do!

@@MinimallyAnnabel thanks! I’m hoping it’s my staple everyday I’ve been searching for, I have a toddler so I have to be able to bring basics and then expand for him on some days 😂 I also try and do 1 in 1 out at least

Hi Dina! Thank you for your continued support and yes, I’ll keep trying to make videos! 🫶🏼

Hi Myra! I just checked out ‘The Horse’ and they have some very lovely products too, thanks for letting me know! And thank you for watching again! 🫶🏼

Hi! Yes, I think I could definitely squeeze it in if necessary! Thankfully, Spirit has been pretty relaxed about me having a tiny purse so far… 😅🫶🏼

Hi! Great to hear from you again! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed this video too, I thought the bag deserved its very own unboxing and I’m excited to use it for my future travels! And yes, I will do an update on it after some time. I also prefer my packing/unpacking videos too haha more fun make and hopefully more interesting to watch 😅🫶🏼

Hi Laura! I’m glad you liked the video! I sold my LV Petit Noé on eBay (I always sell my bags there, both in the US and the UK), it does however take some time. I always make sure I use their authenticity guarantee service too and there is a commission that is deducted. Hope that helps! 🫶🏼

@@MinimallyAnnabel thank you, very helpful I will give it a try! Enjoy your upcoming trip to NY

Hi Pippi! Thank you 😊 the watch is by Seiko, I think the style is called ‘Essentials’ here is the link on their website: seikousa.com/collections/essentials/products/swr054 🫶🏼

Hi Maeve! Oh no, that is a shame! But thank you, it felt good to post again! 🫶🏼

Hi! I believe they’re beige 🫶🏼

Hi Tanya! In my video I pack some loungewear (aka PJ’s for me). It’s just an oversized t-shirt and shorts. 🫶🏼

Hi! It’s the 15” laptop backpack and it is 18L. 🫶🏼

Hi! Some people have asked for the weight, but honestly in all the travel I have done I have never been asked to weigh my backpack! I don’t have a device to weigh it but I’m pretty certain it is under 15lbs/7kgs (the usual weight restriction). Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼

When flying within the US there is no weighing your personal item or carry on. As long as it fits the size requirements it can go on the plane

Hi Maren, thank you so much! 🫶🏼

Hi! Had this comment multiple times! 😅 Unfortunately an e-reader is still not for me, but thanks for the comment! 🫶🏼

Hi! It’s the Citizens Corso watch, I absolutely love it and it is Eco-Drive so it is powered by light. My wrists are really small and so I prefer daintier styles like this one. 🫶🏼 Here is the link: www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/product/FE1082-05A.html?cgid=womens-corso

Hi! I personally did not like the shape and the lack of structure. But I’m glad you like the bag, many people do! Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼

@@MinimallyAnnabel I resolved the problem using a "organization bag". It's helpful when the bag don´t have structure (like tote bags). You can try with a small bag (like the black Kanken bag).

Hi! Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🫶🏼

Hi! Everyone is different and have different needs! Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼

Hi! The internal capacity between the two is significantly different, 13L and 18L. Also in my next video I go down to one Kanken. Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼

minimalism is not about owning little but about not owning clutter that doesnt serve a purpose

Hi Rachel! I have an iPhone 15 Pro 🫶🏼

Hi Karen! Yes, this backpack is really great for short or long trips! And thank you, I feel much better with my reduced toiletries haha, it took some time to get there 😅🫶🏼

​@@MinimallyAnnabel It's inspiring to say the least :)

Hi Jessica! I always stress that minimalism isn’t about having nothing or carrying the least amount of things possible. I personally used this crescent bag as it was something I already had (as a minimalist I don’t purchase things unnecessarily) and I knew once I had eaten my snacks I would be left with a rather empty bag. I like the message that you’re sending here. I think it’s important that people do what’s best for them and KZbinrs like myself are just here to share what we do, but by no means want people to think this is what they ‘should’ be doing as a minimalist. Minimalism is not black and white, it’s a lifestyle that’s supposed to help people focus on the things in life that are more meaningful than just things. I know it has helped me but not delusional to the fact that it is not for everyone. Thank you for your comment! 🫶🏼

​@@MinimallyAnnabel This comment wasn't directed at you, as you know. I do hope it helps someone shift their perspective, or gives them a moment of pause, if they find themselves trying to cram too much into a tiny bag. It can be dangerous in many places to take your credit card/passport/money/phone out of your bag unnecessarily. I hope everyone is very gentle with themselves as they adjust to a level of minimalism that feeds their soul. My comment is for whoever it resonates with. I hope it helps someone!

Hi Myra! I had considered filming some videos during some of my trips before. But I find that it takes me away from the moment and I just want to enjoy my vacations and not worry about getting content. So unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be sharing that in the future, but we’ll see! Glad you enjoyed this one too! 🫶🏼

Hi! For me an extra pair of shorts wasn’t necessary. Thursday I wore my jeans and we arrived in the evening. Friday and Saturday I wore my shorts. Sunday there was a cold front and it was the day to leave, so back to jeans again. Thanks for watching and your comment! 🫶🏼
