With a 2y old at home I like to rotate toys instead of buying new ones. When it comes to clothes I only keep essentials and the most loved ones. Everything else will be donated or given away to family and friends directly 😊

I buy good clothes even new ones from opportunity shops for a few dollars when it's worn out or I am tired of it I toss it out I only spent $3_4 dollars so I can replace it with another item for $3_4 bucks it's interesting what you find in opportunity shops I will give it away to friends we swap items too

Yes. I find clicking the “like” button really helps me to limit impulse purchases. I let the item “sit” in my mind for a few days. When I go back to review my “likes” if it’s gone, sometimes it’s a relief! If I’m super disappointed I can usually go on the hunt to find it again, especially since I almost exclusively buy used. I also discuss my potential purchases w/ my friends/family there. Hope this helps! Your channel rocks, Christina.

When decluttering my clothing, knickknacks, books and accessories, I give my things to friends. A couple of times a year we have a "swap" at my house. I get rid of a lot of things, I see my friends enjoying them, and occasionally I get something nice for myself... all free. This has changed my life and my friendships, leading to deeper appreciation for each other, and more fun occasions when no money is exchanged.

I wish I had friends I could trust that way, but the last time a friend gave me things she didn’t want. They were under arm, stains from deodorant, and worn out elastic. I don’t even keep things in that condition. My friends don’t put much money or thought into clothing like I do so it wouldn’t be a good match I’m afraid.. same thing for household items. Their’s are old And not likely anything I would want. As I am redoing my house, I’m a bit particular at the moment.. not everything they have is old, they have a lot of beautiful, newer things, but they won’t get rid of those.

November 22 I decided enough is enough and that I needed to let the fantasy self go. I started posting my unused and unwanted items (clothes, shoes, bags) on second hand platforms. The goal is to have a wardrobe which fits into my life, declutter and use the sale money to pay my debts (these purchases are the reason I got into the debt) So far, I sold 80 items and even managed to pay a big chunk of my debts. Still more to be sold. I learned a lot in this process.

For most of my life, I never vacationed, I always said, why go to "X" and have a "memory" when I can have "Y" that I can touch. Years later, I had so much CRAP that I never used and yearned to visit Hawaii, Europe, etc... After stopping buying stuff, I had the money to travel! Europe is awesome, the Bahamas amazing, tons of great locations at home in the USA. I travel, travel, travel because I have the money and I am a more interesting person as a consequence. People literally seek me out and "live through me", it is nice being the person at work, lunch and parties that everyone wants to talk to and I get invited to places by people because they want me around to hear my stories. LOVING having less stuff!

The one-in-one out stopped working for me when I was so detached from things that I would get rid of things and say “okay now I can go shopping and get 7 things” then I started spending more on quality items and now it’s high stress to get rid of things because I love everything which is exactly what you want. To keep what you love and to STOP shopping

The wish list has worked wonders for me!! I prioritize it, so when I go to add something new I can see that there are 15 things ahead of it that I actually want more. It really gives me a LOT of perspective. Eventually I end up removing most things from my wishlist because I realize I didn't want them that bad

My whole family has pretty much switched to food gifts since once you get established most new stuff either becomes clutter or causes existing stuff to become clutter, while food gifts are fun, used up, and don't require worry about who kept/liked/hated/respects etc the gift and what to do with it if you don't use or like it.

I was going to Australia for 5 months and we agreed on 2 suitcases per person. This include Christmas, new years, and a side trip to NZ. Challenging! While packing, I’d pull out something (of the correct season) and think…nah…maybe…or yes! Then it occurred to me: if I don’t want it for 5 months, why keep it at all??? Came home me to a much emptier closet! 😊

I also inherited this house from my parents, so there are memories there also. I am overwhelmed and recently found myself with ADHD. It’s a fun challenge but it’s also a financial problem.

I have 2-parts wish list. “Nice to have” and “need now/soon”. For example, I have one Mascara and when I start scratching the sides, it goes to wish list but with high priority. But new lipstick that I wanted to try was on a wishlist for over a year, because there were things with higher priority. I do this because I am a high earner, and could buy whatever I wish immediately. But I was not “born this rich” and I do not think would be healthy for me to just buy buy buy because I can. That is not a mindset I want to teach my son.

Been watching you for a while, and you're honestly the only minimalism (or intentional living(?)) related channel I need. Your advice is always so grounded in reality, and your openness about your own experiences and struggles makes you so relatable and trustworthy. I'm so happy that you share your tips with us. Whenever I want to declutter, I remember your advice, and I feel like it helps me not make mistakes both with keeping too many items, or getting rid of too much (which might lead to more clutter down the line, with replacing etc...). I like that you don't advocate getting rid of everything that you don't immediately love ("sparks joy"), but encourage storing and such. All in all, thanks a ton for sharing your experiences and knowledge!

My mom taught me this over time as I started working as a teen. I’m now a little older and I am thankful for everything she’s taught me in organizing and shopping. I go shopping when I need or want something but not impulsively. Like the other day, I went shopping and spent over $100 but, I saved for it. I saved and had enough to buy another want/need of mine. I still need to get rid of some old clothing now that I think about it, but I’m so proud of myself for knowing to save for something like this.

My biggest problems are: 1. If I can't see it, I forget about I have it. 2. I hate seeing it aka clutter all around. 3. It's hard for me to get rid of things unless I sell them. Even if I only get a few bucks. I need to feel like it wasn't a complete waste of $. On the path to minimalism is harder than I thought because I'm a visual person. I've definitely stopped shopping so much so now it's the getting rid of stuff. Loved this video. It was inspiring. Thanks !

When it comes to donating, where it's going is important too! I like to either give items personally someone or if I don't know someone who wants it, I'll donate to a non-profit organization instead something like a goodwill. I feel much better knowing that it's either going to go to someone who needs it for free or at a very low price from a place that is actually trying to make a difference in the community!

Thank you for this video, I am currently trying to spend less money on clothes for the sake of saving money + the amount i already have is very overwhelming to me (and i still feel like i have nothing to wear). Every other video I watched on this topic never really resonated with me because I could sense that those people don’t really like fashion like I do and it never really mattered to them in the way it matters to me. I was feeling so torn because I didn’t want to give up on this part of myself.

They love collecting things and making new things, creating and playing, making mess, which is ok to a certain degree. And where is the partner? What is she/he doesn't care about the minimalist ideas at all? He/she can be reasonably ok with cleaning but not liking the idea of having less. Any thoughts? Is minimalist living mostly for those living alone or having families sharing their views (and without young children)?

Lmao ‘you don’t put things away & you leave doors open’ …. My husband says that too esp bout the doors! 😅 Letting go is really hard and lately I’ve been decluttering & nesting! These videos inspire me to let go easier. Thanks!

I actually use the one in two out rule. It has helped me get so much stuff out of my home that I do not use or need.

I decluttered my closet about 3 years ago and need to once more. The issue is I’ve regretted getting rid of some stuff. I thought “ well, I haven’t worn this in a while” but, since then, I’ve wanted to wear those gone items on multiple occasions 😅. So, what if I get rid of something and then I realize that I actually had use for it once it’s gone?

You can make a purgatory box and if you need something you can grab it out but If you forgot about everything for at least 3 months or so just donate or gift the box … hope this helps 😊

I tried out Tru Earth a few years ago, but it gave me contact dermatitis. I'm using Dropps now and am very satisfied! As someone with a dust mite allergy (read: endless laundry, not-so-eco-friendly doctor's orders to use hot water) who lives in an apartment, I'm so envious of your in-unit W/D! Congrats on the new place. Love the emphasis on curation and focusing on reducing inflow to reduce outflow. It's not clothing-related, but I bought Less Litter stainless steel boxes for my cats so I'd stop generating litter-related plastic waste, and I brought food that they'd rejected to a local cat rescue recently so it wasn't languishing in my apartment just in case they suddenly decided they didn't hate it. There are so many ways to pay forward with things we aren't going to use and to reduce waste!

I used a phrase a friend told me about…the Poop Rule! If the item had Poop on it..would you clean it and keep it still? Or is it a toss out? This simple rule clarified what really mattered to me in my wardrobe and items!

When I feel like something needs thinning out, I will make myself eliminate 3 at the least. I literally force myself to make 3 decisions, and it's the 3rd that is the hardest. It's a challenge but can be playful at times.

My first step is staying out of the thrift store. I can always find a treasure there and because it is just one item I feel like it's OK to buy it. But it all adds up quickly.

My go to question when deciding KEEP or NOT is “would I buy again today at this size and condition?” If answer is No - it’s easy, it goes out. If it’s a YES- then decide if you are comfortable wearing it today, like to a grocery store/ school meeting/ class/ office? If it’s a No - it goes out. Also I don’t throw away clothes- I donate it or recycle at H&M

Also we travel a lot and what I love doing is I bring clothes to vacation, but then donate it whilst on vacation. And bring home almost empty suitcase. Love doing it with kid’s clothes- since next time we go on a beach vacation all kids summer clothes will be too small for them anyway so why even bother bringing it back😅

it wasn't mentioned but I put things away at the back of a closet or cabinet. If I don't miss, look for or pull out that item it most likely means that item is just taking up space and I don't truly care about it.
