14 WEIRD THINGS I DO AS AN ULTRA MINIMALIST

[@lolmakeup5786]

Can you show your wardrobe and how you tend to pick pieces if you shop

[@minimalou_yt]

Yes it's planned 😊

[@melaniegodwin8791]

Your personality is so cute. Less is more. I've been minimalist for about 10 years. Its just such a feeling of calm and freedom.

[@minimalou_yt]

Haha thank you Melanie! 🌸 Yes it is and I’m really happy that people are more and more interested by minimalism!

[@christinelozano4349]

I agree Exploravore has a great channel.

[@heatherburke9583]

I would love to hear more about your transition into an ultra minimalist lifestyle! I'm a bit of a hoarder so while I'm getting better about not introducing new items into my life, it's hard for me to let go of things i already own

[@minimalou_yt]

Great idea! Noted 😉 I really think the key is baby steps. I’m an ultra minimalist but I’m still declutterring and letting go of things and for some things it takes time and it is completely ok ☺️ Have a good day / night 🌸💜

[@mamasrelaxation8612]

Be gentle with yourself. It is an emotional journey. 💜

[@Susieque963]

Please show your minimalist wardrobe! Would love to see it since you’re an aspiring actress in Paris ❤️

[@minimalou_yt]

Hey! Yes it is on my list of vids to do, I will soon!! ☺️❤️

[@FleurDeCersier]

I'm not an (ultra) minimalist but I try to be intentional with what I own. I also only carry a small bag with my phone, my earbuds, a small wallet, my keys and some tissues. Can't imagine carrying around a heavy bag every single day.

[@minimalou_yt]

Being intentional is the most important! And completely agreed with you 😉

[@anniestern459]

Really inspiring 😊 I'm super intresting in the laundry detergent recipe.

[@minimalou_yt]

Thank you Annie for watching! Will do the laundry detergent recipe next week 😉

[@celinefederici6951]

I use loose tea in a teapot and so it stays strong for 3 uses; I wear a nice backpack to keep my hands free. In it have small wallet, readers (glasses w/o prescription), phone and keys. For decades, I have no TV. I only use cloth napkins again for decades and never bought paper dinner napkins. I think it is healthy habit to watch my water bottle at least daily. I love taking a daily shower and prefer heat over wearing a lot of clothes in the house. My house is shoe free. I am a semi-professional artist but don't hang any of my paintings and have mostly bare walls mostly hanging scrolls from In China & Japan and Buddha statues from India. I wash plastic veggie bags and reuse them until they rip. I am not a minimalist per se, but I do not like clutter or being wasteful.

[@minimalou_yt]

Thank you Céline for sharing your way of life! Really inspiring too. I never buy paper dinner napkins too and use the veggie bags until they rip off too. 😊

[@wessahn6024]

Buy loose leaf tea instead of tea bags. Better taste and more infusions because leaves aren't too broken up.

[@alexalexander9434]

I turned minimalist, I haven't bought any new items apart from my van in the last 2 years. Although I didn't get rid of my things they're at my families garage. When my cloths rip or need winter cloths I get it from the garage

[@patriziawaldron6612]

Cute video! By the way, I love your apartment, it’s so cosy.

[@minimalou_yt]

Thank you Patrizia! Yes I really like it 🏠☺️

[@madday9589]

I do alot the same things. A tip I have for email is to go to your starred ones (that’s where all my important ones are at least) and archive them, then you can mindlessly delete all the rest

[@modelsaresofetch]

Louise, you inspire me in more ways than you think! I thought I was already a minimalist, but now I’ve seen your videos I’m sure I can do better 😉 thank you so much for motivating me and I really hope you’ll keep up your youtube, really really really do love your videos (and accent). Kind regards, Lieselot (Belgium) 🙏🏻

Yay! Thank you! 🤩

[@MichelleNovalee]

Taking a shower everyday is overrated. One, it really dries out your skin. Two, it gets rid of your healthy oils and friendly skin bacteria that helps you fight germs. Your “cat wash” is ideal. 100 years ago they used to have wash basins, like a fancy porcelain bowl and pitcher, and that standard was very cleanly and hygienic. There’s a great KZbin video about it.

[@minimalou_yt]

💯 💯 🙌

[@hellforyou5166]

Shower really dries my skin too much 😢

[@apocolex93]

Just stumbled on this. Not really ever heard anyone talk about being a minimalist. How interesting! Thanks for sharing. To be honest I have so much stuff I don’t need. I’m not exactly a hoarder but we are having clearout soon and redecorating so might try and bear minimalism in mind. Not sure I can be as hardcore as you but it’s really interesting. I also carry a big backpack. Maybe I don’t need to anymore 😂

[@minimalou_yt]

I’m glad you enjoyed my video even if you’re not a minimalist yourself! 😊 I have not always been a minimalist either, but since I saw the documentary « the minimalists » on Netflix it changed my perception of material possessions and made me realise how many stuff I had. I highly recommend it 😄 Good luck for the new redecoration and everything! 😉

[@h3arty]

Oh pleaaaase look into the world of minimalism! It has changed my entire LIFE in the last year! I'm so much happier, free, and less stressed!

[@kathyscrazylife]

Never thought of myself as a minimalist yet I do all the things you mentioned. I wear my pajamas for three nights before washing.

[@JodiTheExplorer]

I grew in the island and water is very much my favorite thing to drink, swim or shower. Cleaning my skin morning and bedtime is essential for me 👩🏾‍🦱

[@extrememinimalistparent]

I recently learnt that a few ultra minimalists use only pasta bowls, instead of side plates, regular plates and bowls. I thought that was so coooooool! Even if you had 6, that's still the same as 2 people owning 2 of each. No awkward stacking in tight spaces either.

[@beamorimm]

I live in England and last year energy was so expensive I’d just warm up some water and take my hot water bottle with me everywhere 😅 it was honestly fine and I’ve saved so much money just by doing that

[@minimalou_yt]

I feel you! Great tip! When I’m cold I use my hot-water bag that I use initially when my period is painful, it does wonders to keep me warm 🥰

[@magdalenahernandez1562]

I find it very cool that you are a model and actress and are a minimalist! A lot of people in those jobs probably are not and full of materialist desires/items. I would love to know your detergent recipe!

[@minimalou_yt]

Yes I talk a lot of minimalism when I meet my « coworkers » of the day and usually they never heard of it and couldn’t do it haha! But I’m always happy to spread the message of a more intentional and simpler life, even in a world as superficial as acting and modelling : it is possible 😄 Thank you Magdalena ! 💚

[@ayvablog]

I would like to see the video about your wardrobe and clothing. You are so interesting and inspiring person. Thank you ❤️

[@minimalou_yt]

[@marrlena947]

Plastic bottles are very toxic. Also you should wash it every day. Bacteria grows quick. Hopefully you use a glass bottle.

[@minimalou_yt]

Yes I will wash it everyday from now on, I will replace it with another glass one when this one will be broken 😊

[@marrlena947]

Hi Anna! Thank you really much and a little tip for your declutter : start with one room / or only the clothing for example, take it step by step makes it way easier! Take care 💕✨

[@francescachecchin6191]

Minimalism or maximalism depend on how our mind works, according to our past experiences our limits and our fears... nothing right and nothing wrong... our job is to find our personal equilibrio...

[@minimalou_yt]

Completely agreed with you! 😊

[@sebumpostmortem]

Now I know why some people are always asking for a tissue, an intimate wet wipe, an elastic for the hair, a bandaid, a nail file or sooooo many other things in case of accident...

[@minimalou_yt]

I have tissues on my bag and I never ask for those things, but even so it happened, it won’t be the worst thing on earth to ask for help. I sometimes give a tissue to a stranger if someone ask me and I’m always happy to help if any way if I can. 😊

[@Ricardo_S8]

I liked the sharing Louise, and didn't find anything particularly weird, although I found it shocking that you weren't learning Portuguese. ahahah

[@ItsWhoIAmItsHowILive]

1. Same 2. No socks for me 3. Laundry detergent from the swap meet 4. No tea for me 5. How is that minimal 6. I don’t like purses 7. I only have 1 bowl, 1 saucer bowl, and 2 plates 8. Electric is very expensive. I try to minimize use. 9. I don’t like television. Only KZbin premium. 10. Healthcare worker 11. I HATE clutter. 12.

I really need to declutter my email, it's horrible! Sometimes I think about just making a new one... I need to be like you and spend a few hours deleting everything!

[@minimalou_yt]

I had more than 20,000, spend many 2 hours and now it’s clean 🤓 You can do it, definitely worth it !

[@Thomas-Chin10]

What a great video! I wish more people do what you do. I gave my TV away several years ago, as I felt it was a waste of time. I also don't have subscription of any kind. Like you, I wear the same pair of socks for several days, unless I go running. I have more kitchen dishes than you because I cook at least two dishes for each meal and sometime invite friends over for a meal. So I need more than two bowls.😊I do have couple of artworks on my walls. They are my paintings, not posters from my travels. Simplicity is the best!

[@minimalou_yt]

Hey Thomas! Thank you for sharing! Hopefully this channel is going to inspire people to live more simply, that’s my goal! 🌍💚

Nah, I love showering so I wish not to live like her.

[@starwaters4287]

[@tiffytattoo2450]

Heating is important for the bulding substance. Not only for your comfort. For example mold can grow easier if a building is not heated correctly. Most leases have a heating clause, where tenants are responsible for heating in an adequate manner and can face repercussion if damage occurs due to incorrect behaviour.

[@minimalou_yt]

I am using heat in December and January. But I am pretty sure I am the only one cutting it in February so that’s ok 😉

[@Jordan-fq8dq]

I always tell people to bring their own plates and chairs if they are coming over to eat lol. Also I reuse clothes a lot and I take a shower every two days and swap between shaving and washing my hair each shower cause I have curly hair that needs to be washed less and I don't mind body hair until it's long enough to cause friction blisters. And when I find myself not wanting to wear certain clothes anymore cause my weight fluctuates or the cloth is becoming thin, then I repurpose it by sewing it to make something new before I consider donating it. I don't use flat sheets on my bed so when I get a new set I use the sheets to make other things or I donate it to the funeral home that I work at. Also I rarely buy items new both to save money and it's kind of like adopting a pet, there's so many clothes in the world that need a new home. Same with furniture.

[@minimalou_yt]

I loved what you said about « adopting » new clothes, I always think that when I enter a thrift shop, why buying new when so much clothes needs a new home? 😅

[@marymonastesse1954]

Excellent video. Lots of good tips.

[@minimalou_yt]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Mary! ☺️

[@Izzi-n5t]

This is like listening to a description of my life ! I have children at home and I am minimalist but they are not. We have only four bowls, no plates, a cup each and I make laundry detergent as well. I work with animaux and only wash socks every three days and never ever have the heating on. No handbag either ! No tv,no 😊subscriptions Une belle vidéo, merci beaucoup Louise pour vos efforts Ps les gants de toilettes en anglais ça s’appelle à flannel.

[@nospamallowed666]

This video inspired me to do a fasting next month for 10 days, I will not say the reason, but I want to cut cofee, cola, pepsi, sweets no icecream choco pudings, fully vegan, drinking more water, &quit smoking my levia. I can go to 1 or 2 per day. That means 20/40 sticks, so it is too much anyway. I keep my dirty clothes in a vacuum bag so it not smells, I want to wash them once a week. I wash almost daily so it is too much waste of money, water, detergent. I learned from you how to do my homemade det from marsilia olive soap. So I thank you for that trick! And I learn from you about that cat shower. It feels amazing, &I have so much energy after that. I didnt even notice how tired I was after a shower. My life improves so much since I ve descovered your channel! Bravo and thank you and keep up the good work! 🥳🤩🥰

For us it is hard not to have 6 plates, 6 deep dishes and 6 small plates since we are often hosting our family and they are too many. We have to even wash the plates in between because it is usually 15-20 people when they all come 😅

[@minimalou_yt]

Hey Lucie! Yes I just use my little bag with me most of the time because there’s always drinks and food on set where I work! But usually I just take my waterbottle in my hand if I’m going on a walk for example. And I almost never use my laptop haha it’s always at my home! ☺️❤️

[@margaretcassidy3280]

Good morning! You remind me of myself except I am 65. Your natural beauty shines. For many years I have surprised my friends by not having a refrigerator or stove/oven. They are both unnecessary, take up space, and harm the environment in multiple ways. Ty for posting!

[@moshyi]

It is really freeing to carry a small bag and few items! I love it. That said, maybe we should be grateful to those who carry a lot of stuff since you're the one asking them for a tissue that you didn't bring 😅

[@minimalou_yt]

I almost never ask for anything for anyone, it won’t kill anyone to offer a piece of tissue if someone is in the need. It’s basic human connection and if someone ask me for help I will give it immediately. For example last week someone asked for my phone so they can call their mother, I was more than happy to help them.

[@KimSmith-b9v]

I'm in Sweden and looking out the window - it snows. ❄❄❄

Woh same for socks, tea bags, Tv and stuffs. It's funny to find ways to have/do less. Maybe this minimalism instict is generational 😂 Old times are clearly an inspiration ! Now I live in a big house with a lot of stuffs that the owners left so I tend to use more objects that I normally do, so I don't have to throw too much away 🤷‍♀️

[@teacupdreams5735]

In my country if you didn’t use heat in your flat you would pay a fine, because you make the expenses higher for your closest neighbours

I don't understand how there are people who see your extreme way of life, I analyzed each point you said because you explained them with argument and frankly it all seems very sensible to me, and that the extremists are all the accumulators who don't even have space to store the things that continue buying. I wait for the moment when the planet forces us to see your way of life as something inevitable, we are leaving mountains and mountains of garbage, destroying everything because we find it very useful to change our telephone every year, our furniture every 5 years, our washing machine, cars... and that people who bathe daily and even take more than 15 minutes, know what it means to ration water because there is not even enough to drink in many places on the planet, it is shameful that it seems extreme to them to live consciously, and live without carrying a ton of things that destroy the future of those who remain.

Hello ! I’m not sure if I follow you here but everyone thinks differently on the subject and that’s ok 😉

@@minimalou_yt If you want a tissue, get your own tissue. Carry your own tissue. Buy you own tissue. Weave your own tissue. Use a leaf. But don't ask the woman with the big bag for a tissue that she is carrrying in her big bag and then talk about how nice it is for you not to carry a big bag around with you.

@@Smithpolly You are completely out of my point. If I don’t carry something on me it’s because I do not need it. But it wouldn’t kill anyone if some day for example I hurt myself and ask for a tissue. On a daily basis I have my tissues on me, and I’m always happy to help if someone ask for one. It is called mutual aid. Again, you’re completely missing my point, I’m not blaming anyone for caring a big handbag, I’m just stating that I personally don’t want such a thing and I wouldn’t change that 😌

@@minimalou_yt You may not have said it directly, but you certainly gave a strong vibe of it being crazy for them to carry that much stuff. And frankly, you're right. It's kind of crazy that there are so many women going around with large , heavy "mutual aid" sacks while other people are carrying a light "mutual aid" tissue , if that.

While I can't provide a verbatim transcript from the "Minimalou" channel's video titled "14 Weird Things I Do as an Ultra Minimalist," I can help you summarize its key points based on common themes discussed in ultra-minimalism and similar topics. Here’s a typical summary you might expect from a video with that title: --- ## Summary of "14 Weird Things I Do as an Ultra Minimalist" In this video, the presenter, who identifies as an ultra-minimalist, shares 14 unconventional habits and practices that they have integrated into their lifestyle. Here are some of the key points: 1. **Decluttering Regularly**: The speaker emphasizes the importance of consistently going through belongings to maintain a minimalist lifestyle. 2. **Limiting Possessions**: They discuss a personal limit on the number of items they keep, which encourages mindful purchasing and ownership. 3. **Traveling Light**: The presenter shares their experiences of traveling with only a small backpack to reduce stress and enhance mobility. 4. **Living with Less Furniture**: They advocate for minimalistic home setups, opting for multifunctional pieces. 5. **Digital Minimalism**: The ultra-minimalist shares practices such as reducing digital clutter, limiting screen time, and unfollowing unneeded accounts on social media. 6. **Intentional Friendships**: They mention curating social circles based on quality rather than quantity, choosing deep connections over casual acquaintances. 7. **Minimalist Cooking**: The video covers simplifying cooking by using fewer ingredients and tools, resulting in more streamlined meal preparation. 8. **Eco-Friendly Practices**: A focus on sustainability and reducing waste through minimal consumption aligns with their lifestyle choices. 9. **Mindful Consumption**: The presenter discusses being intentional about what they buy and consume, prioritizing needs over wants. 10. **Self-Care Routines**: Their self-care practices are simplified, involving fewer products yet effective methods. 11. **Avoiding Trends**: The ultra-minimalist avoids chasing the latest trends, choosing timeless items instead. 12. **Simplicity in Clothing**: They may go into detail on maintaining a capsule wardrobe, owning only a few essential pieces that mix and match easily. 13. **Living in the Moment**: Emphasizing presence, the presenter discusses finding joy in simple experiences rather than material possessions. 14. **Mindfulness Practices**: The final point often revolves around practices such as meditation or journaling, which complement the minimalist ethos. --- If you find this concept fitting and want to create engaging social media content around it, feel free to ask! I can help with anything from creating posts to developing engagement strategies related to minimalism. --- Given your expertise in social media post creation, I avoided basic definitions and instead provided a summary that reflects the video’s intent. If you want specific formats or more engagement ideas based on this content, just let me know! -hey I tried ai generated chat to take the transcript of everything you said in the video. They can't provide it but I obtained this. Probably will help others take some notes. I want to do like a notebook with what you say in the videos. I also downloaded all of your videos. Bravo for all of your videos and keep up the good work!
