Hey everyone! It was so nice to collaborate with Ria from The Whole Happy Life today :) Don't forget to check out her video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnyac3xse5iohas

[@Havanah2006]

Love your vidz 💕💖

[@jyotib354]

Both of u are my favourite KZbinrs . Love ur content . Love from India 😍

[@kerryirving2949]

I’ve subcribed to rias Chanel today 😊

[@aimamatin1944]

Hello! It's private. How do I gain access?

[@NiceenoughDMV]

I got rid of negative people in my life,. I stopped calling them. I unfriended them on FB. I've deleted and blocked them from my phone.

[@Bloombaby99]

Way to go!!!! You have one life. Live it well.

[@ReneeBenes]

I love that she mentions this! This was such a hard step for me to take!

[@pshi701]

Same here. After I blocked them, they were like : OMG you changed so much, youre so antisocial ,... Glad I blocked these fake ass people😁👍

[@kishinaheaggans523]

@PepeCommander racist much??! That was rude as hell😒

[@julieblackstock8650]

I did this too even with family members.. I feel so much happier. Now I only see and speak to who I really want to.

[@chandaharkins4418]

To satisfy my shopping bug, I put things in my Amazon cart (or whatever website), then I just wait. Most of the time, I delete them a few days later.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Love this! Great idea :)

[@413riley]

I thought I was the only one! It wasn't an intentional trick, but rather a byproduct of my ADD brain and getting distracted mid-stream. At some point I realized that my online shopping was at least 75% impulsive. Parking things in the shopping cart has saved me thousands of dollars a year.

[@ReneeBenes]

Yesss. I do this all the time!

[@redpilled5830]

great idea! Better than actually shopping and then leaving cart in-store(guilty)

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

I do this in real life. Mum taught me the trick years ago. She called it "carrying around". You get the temporary feeling of ownership, and then when you are finished, just put back all the items you don't really want.

[@joanneastham8359]

You're TERRIFIC! you're not only soft-spoken, but calming with your ideas and demeanor ... you're welcoming without the loud excitable gestures too many sites include ... THANK YOU THANK YOU ... you've won me over! How can I NOT subscribe? Can't resist your professionalism! Love you!

[@brightpurpleviking]

I’ve simplified by getting rid of “duplicate use items”. If I have a lotion that is all purpose and then have another one for just my hands, I just keep the all purpose. A body wash that doubles as a shampoo...I don’t repurchase shampoo. I buy a cleaner that I can use on multiple surfaces, not split them up into multiple one for counters, one for mirrors and one for the tub. A mid size garden shovel that works for most things instead of three different sizes just in case. Etc.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Yes! Duplicates are another huge one! Love the points you mentioned. xx

[@ReneeBenes]

I love all of this! I always tell people to ditch those duplicate items! It makes life so much simpler!

[@breve711]

i swear i always watch your videos when i need them most. was feeling guilty about not going to a work dinner this friday night, but don't really want to spend time with work people in my free time. just going to let that go and not feel bad about it :) thanks

[@mariaziarnik6909]

Hi Megan, I am coming over from Ria’s channel! I am a newbie to your channel. Love these minimalist topics! Keeps us on check of being realists with items we own.

[@meghanborrasca3900]

I loved this! This is such a refreshing “minimalism” idea, more about non-physical stuff rather than the typical physical list most minimalistic youtubers talk about ☺️

[@monajones6748]

Your videos help me start a MAJOR declutter of my closet. Thank you!

[@TheImogenRose]

I’m so glad I found your channel: I learn more and more about what I can do to create a more simplistic and minimalistic life- thank you!💕💕

[@meghanlivingstone]

Yay! I'm so happy to have helped even just a little bit :) xoxo

[@hads5279]

The way you speak is very calming. I’m trying to get rid of somethings and get out the feeling that I need certain material items. I’m a shopaholic because for one minute I feel like it soothes my depression, but the consequence now is debt that fuels my depression and anxiety way more. Ugh vicious cycle.

[@whatlauralikes.]

Such good advice which I’ve already been implementing in life, without realizing it. Minimalism is life changing, and it’s definitely not only about physical things.

[@oraclebloomton5962]

You seem like a really good and kind person..... Bless you mum!

[@user-nm4hg1fx9p]

Thank you for your videos! Very helpful.

[@chrischabre9382]

What a joy to listen to your conversations!

[@mamabeargina.birthdoula]

What a great Video... I’m going to go through my what if stuff right away😃 thank you for the tips

[@MarielaMerino]

I got happy when I saw both your videos show up on my feed! i need to work on the limited beliefs I have about myself. great video xx

[@meghanlivingstone]

Mariela Merino awww 🥰 limiting beliefs are definitely not fun to have. I’m always working at overcoming them and I’ve come a long way over the past several years! ❤️

[@ReneeBenes]

I absolutely love how you tackle a variety of things to get rid of. Not just material items! Thanks so much for this video!

[@meghanlivingstone]

You're so welcome, thanks for watching! I definitely wanted to shed some light on non-material "things" for this video :) xx

[@AllThingsFrugalAndFabulous]

I love all your videos ❤️ very inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@katiemynette4285]

Hi Megan. I've gotten rid of purses, clothes, art work, books. I'm a musician and composer and I have a piano and many other instruments that I need to keep. Katie in Kentucky.

[@lisakrushinski9436]

I love your videos! Your second, third, and fourth points (things that are not serving me, impulsiveness, and limiting beliefs) really resonated with me! Such wisdom in parting with these 3 intangible items! Your calm and happy manner always blesses me! Thank you! -Lisa

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hey Lisa! I really wanted to touch on those points today -- so glad you resonated with them. Doing my best to 'get rid of' those sorts of things have made a huge difference in my life. xx

[@lisakrushinski9436]

Meghan Livingstone I’m happy for you!

[@1284Erin]

Aww I’ve been following both of you for a little while now! ❤️❤️

[@meghanlivingstone]

Yay! 💓😊

[@meghanlivingstone]

[@alishamakkar5330]

Loved both of the videos! Thanks for the collab:)

[@meghanlivingstone]

Alisha Makkar thanks for watching!! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@pattyatrumdycreations134]

Very good info! Meghan, lately I've been having the worst time get out of bed in the morning. As soon as I wake up my mind goes right to everything that can go wrong or how hard this day will be. No matter how much I try to tell myself everything is ok, it makes my whole morning routine a mess. Any suggestions that could help? Thank you for all your great videos especially the ones on minimalism and healthy food.

[@debrastewart6714]

Hi Meghan, love watching your channel, you are such a lovely person . You have such great ideas xo👍😀💕🌟

[@EmmaTara]

I love the shopping tip. I have been doing this for a while now and it really works 💖

[@meghanlivingstone]

It literally does!

[@meganb.6057]

Meghan, I love your videos. You give such wonderful information with a beautiful aesthetic. I watch your videos to help me feel calm and relaxed, lol. Thank you, Megan

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aw thank you Megan! I'm happy to hear that :) Hehe xx

[@brittneykristina2487]

Your videos are so calming :)

[@suecathcart4687]

I already subscribe to the whole happy life and she is good - as always a beautiful and uplifting video - thanks

[@Bloombaby99]

Newly subscribed. Love you ladies!!!!!

[@greengrass1775]

Love your lifestyle

[@meghanlivingstone]

Thanh Thao Truong interesting!! Well thank you for watching and for being here 😊

[@pjtaylor9492]

Thanh Thao Truong I have lived in VN for more than a decade . I don’t think minimalism is for most of them. You want to simplify your life but for them you are poor when you don’t have lots of stuff : furniture, clothing, cookwares, etc. Simple zero waste minimalist life is for you a choice, for them you just cannot afford things, you are not someone who is interesting 😉

[@greengrass1775]

PJ Taylor Please read my comment again carefully. I mean “ there is seemingly no Vietnamese youtuber making videos about minimalism”. Do I say all Vietnamese people have to live minimalism Do I say they have to declutter all of their stuffs? => No. Please be careful and be nice before writing or answering something.

[@AswathySreekumar]

Love your content always Meghan!!😊 I've binge watched all your videos from the beginning 😄 And I liked Riya's channel too have subscribed to her as well 😊

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aswathy Sreekumar Yay! And that’s awesome you’ve watched through a bunch of my videos haha - thanks so much for bein’ here! 😊❤️

[@jessicahern5244]

❤I still want a pillow of the little red truck with the 🎄 Christmas tree on it! (been thinking about it since end of October.) But the effort to go out to get it it too much!!! 😴

[@anitac.9411]

Love your videos, so relaxing :)

[@MandyGood]

Recently I just got rid of just in case stuff and I have bags and bags of this stuff and It felt great to get rid of it for good.

[@johannamyfengshuiapproach8871]

Hi Meghan. I was wondering about that salad at the end. Is it from one of your vids that I might not have seen yet or don't remember right now, or could you share it? It looks lovely!!

[@tiashadae1143]

I love when my fave channels collab

[@KianaDAnno]

Waiting helps neutralize impulsivity..thumbs up Removing junk food is the best idea it gelps regain mental and emotional clarity. Have you always been so sweet?

[@jaimezuniga4702]

I am a subscriber of Riya’s and likes this collaboration. I will subscribe to you as well as I love all topics on minimalism and health and nutrition.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hey Jaime! Thanks so much for stopping by and for say hello :) Really happy to have you here!

[@mugil767]

Thanks Megan

[@taniawali9220]

Thanks.👍👍👍

[@deepakdharne6292]

Your eyes is so enchanting that i ramain hooked to them while watching your videos.

[@kerryirving2949]

How do you know what do get rid of & how do you make that dision & stick to it? I have a mental liness & one of the traits is finding it hard to make disions & sticking to that certain dision. Also inpulsivitity is a trait of my mental liness. Also you you have a video on what foods to avoid if you have ibs?

[@mckenziehine6257]

When I need to kick a shopping bug I go to the library. Can browse for as long as I want and get all the books and movies I want :)

[@jessicaschoen403]

What is that salsa that you made at the end?? Would love the recipe!!!

[@cinthyapalmira3181]

Really Nice and good 💛👏😊

[@lonn_3333]

you look really healthy. l really appreciate it

[@elisamartinez381]

Hei Meghan My name Is Elisa Gomez I Like waching your vidoes It inspired me to do things I have it done in my life I am From Pleasantion Texas

[@dannydanny9875]

Impulse Purchases are my Weakness!

[@meghanlivingstone]

[@mariamnader2016]

Thank u so much meghan🙏💛i enjoy all ur content 💜

[@VINTAGELIKE]

Very pretty .u look healthy.good for you.love the channel

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

My two favourite KZbinrs. Talented Canadian women in my backyard.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aww this is so kind of you to say 😊 xoxo

[@purnaprawerti]

Hi meghan, months ago i got rid off my 'just in case' laptop bag (a small one that i didn't use for quite long time)... but yesterday i found myself that i actually need that bag to carry my laptop. How do you deal with this kind of situation?

[@woolypuffin392]

I get rid of small cluttery things, but i wont throw away beauty products if i have doubles. I rather use them up.

[@gracecortese3177]

ik i'm late but where is that purse from?😍

[@hcat7606]

During the Covid crisis how about to pivot to what u need

[@doinagavrilov5436]

You’re so beautiful inside and out ❤️

[@equipo1557]

Excelent

[@pshi701]

I got rid of negative relationships. For example there was a boy, who I really liked, but he did not respect my and my feelings. So I blocked him. First it was heartbreaking, but now I feel so good. I also blocked other people, that weren't good for me, we didnt had the same interests etc. And after I blocked these people, they were like : OMG u are so fake, u've changed, I dont care bout your feelings, u hurt me ... but they didnt spent a second bout thinkin how they hurted me and how they disrespect me. So : I'm glad I got out of relationships that weren't good for me :)

[@meghanlivingstone]

Honestly, sometimes one of the best things we can do is walk away from people that don't lift us up. So good for you for standing up for yourself!

[@abundanceintheson_467]

Misleading title which says 10 things to get rid of. Otherwise, a great video! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@pavelsmom1089]

Hhmmmm...happened upon your video on accident and watched it. I am a new subscriber. Thanks.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Happy to have you here!!

[@lirpacheth1346]

[@Lady_dromeda]

Ooh, where in Canada are you from? I’m in New Brunswick

[@meghanlivingstone]

I'm in Toronto! :D

[@ghostfacesslutt]

I've been eating healthy but I've had to much coffee lol

[@SSBMA1994]

Im intrigue by the idea of minimalism. Its not a new concept, its always been a popular thing in Islam and christianity, Im sure. In islam, minimalism is know as 'Zuhud". Its sort of living a humble and simple lifestyle with purpose. I love shopping, I love window shopping. Sometimes you work your ass off and you canf help feel like you want to buy something selfish for yourself as a gift for your hard work. Or sometimes you had a sad depressing day and you want to cheer yourself up with a new makeup, chlothes or gadget etc. New purchases always give that momentary high and excitement. It make my feel like I renewed myself. Or this is a chance for me to renew or rebrand myself. Motivates me to be someone better of sort?? Idk But I want to try mjnimalism out see how it goes

[@cmeeki4]

How do you entertain without a sofa?

[@hamdimohamed6625]

Iam new subscribe from whole happy life

[@betsyb1374]

Felt like you were staring into my soul when you said too much sugar haha. Great video and tips! Btw were you born with a cleft lip?

[@thenormallife1138]

I impulsively grab all kinds of junk when I'm in dollar tree. I haven't been in there in 3 months just so I won't grab something crazy. I'm going through an apartment Declutter before we move so I can't risk going in there. Lol

[@sourabhidas]

You look like Victoria from how I met your mother

[@meghanlivingstone]

I've been told that so many times!! Haha

[@TheDIONYSEE]

I feel like the just in case stuff is like 80 percent of the clutter at my parents´ house. Growing up in a post-socialist country, everything was valued and throwing away things you might use one day is frowned upon. Cant wait to set up my own minimalistic home :D

[@TheDIONYSEE]

also, thank for the videos! always love learn something new about minimalism, healthy living, etc. and your videos have such a calm vibe! it helps.

[@joanneastham8359]

Thanks for recommending Ria, you're right she's excellent ... but her videos have sub-titles which take up too much screen space. Thus, they're are both distracting and scree-grabbers ... I'll subscribe to your site if you refrain from sub-titles ...

[@peartfaldo]

im getting rid of my mortgage;-)

[@ralphlaurence593]

I think I love you

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Even if you DO BUY IT you can RETURN IT! Take it back when you realize it! It will save you money and after awhile you will learn to stop doing it on your own.🙄

[@Steve1000ish]

God, you're so beautiful! I want to paint you like one of my french girls 😝.

[@ekatatandukar9819]

Junk food makes me feel good :'(

[@flowerworld2054]

You have a happy face

[@themanintheblackchair3745]

Hello? This video is titled "10 things...". I've only seen five. I am feeling ripped off :-)

[@Lu-du8bh]

There is another 5 in the ria’s video. She has mentioned it :)
