40 things we GAVE UP for a simpler life | MINIMALIST LIVING

[@jennyjenkins877]

Carleen absolutely is a natural beauty and it's so heartwarming to see C'jon express that. He's a beautiful man and you have a beautiful family. Love your videos!

I keep my grocery store bags. I use it for trash bags. It works, and I haven't bought any plastic trash bags. It helps. I keep it tied in a knot inside qn empty tissue box. You can fit 100 of them in there.

[@mamat1213]

Thanks for this tip!!!

[@LinJMartinez]

I love this. I even love how i heard the kids in the back. It shows your regular people sharing your everyday life. Thank you. Nothing fake about this...

[@ChristysChannelYall]

I understand why you don’t keep the grocery bags with little kids around. I will tell you though, I’m not sure how you manage the kitty litter box, but that is what I use the grocery bags for, scooping the box. I’m a minimalist like you guys and I also adopted a sweet kitty a couple years ago ❤

[@jessicajohnson3196]

Glad I’m not the only one with kids that knock over folded laundry🤦‍♀️ I go through phases of folding kids clothes and just throwing them in the drawer.

[@jaybatemen4497]

I am so listening to you guys. To the minimalist living and saving time for me. I used to get upset when family with children don't show up, These people are busy, I'm busy trying to figure out which room to tackle 1st. I have generational stuff in my home my parents left behind. I don't need a kitchen full of pots and pans, spoons, folks etc. I'm learning and doing.

[@madredetresmocosos9088]

Great video ❤ you are absolutely real 🙏 I'm the same with clothes, and you are right no one cares what I'm wearing they are just happy to be with me ❤🙏

[@ss-ht6uz]

Thanks for adopting instead of buying ❤

[@alexajacques4020]

Congratulations on the latest family addition(fur baby). Thank you adopting and in sharing your content which I find so encouraging.

[@sct4040]

For a while, I used paper tissue boxes, and vegetable plastic packaging from the supermarket to organize with. Free‼️

[@jaybatemen4497]

I even feel more relaxed listening to you two.

[@linalorenz9434]

Love how you two talk about all these things sooo relaxing, it’s inspiring 🙏🙏😃❤️

For Christmas we have our tree and special ornaments, stockings and a wreath, I think I have fairy lights also and a couple nutcrackers (my grandma loved them) I have one tote and everything besides tree has to fit otherwise it needs to be decluttered

[@lauralonati7048]

I just started this video and I was AWWWWW on the kitty!!! I watched one of your other videos this am and spent my afternoon decluttering my car and cleaning it all up and I feel so good! But now I have to do inside my apt! Love you guys!

[@JustReadTheBible]

Love your channel. So much great advice here!! You’ve both been instrumental in my minimal homemaking journey. God bless your family.

[@DavidDavisDH]

When I had my apartment I use to have 6 foot tall X-Mas tree, it was so bulky. I was gifted a tiny 2 foot tree that fits on the kitchen table, it was so much better.

[@Stovetopcookie]

Hello I just found your channel today. The saying yes to everything is very important point to bring up. I too struggled with this. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is. Thank you for bringing it up.

[@conkodo]

I feel like there are a lot of good budgeting tips in here

[@thetravelingboulderer]

For Christmas, I just like buying the tree. I put 1 ornament on it, it was a gift from a friend, and that's it!

[@stephanienoble2926]

I loved this video! I’m still decluttering and simplifying my space especially with baby number 6 on the way! I’ve learned a lot from your channel! Your kitten is so cute! We just actually adopted some kittens too, I’m curious how do you keep it simple and minimal with pets?

[@olgaortiz746]

You are so right , GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, N THE NEW ADDITION ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@leebradford6283]

I am basically the absolute same way. Funny how also when we stop the clutter we can actually renovate our homes cheaply! And live much better. I learnt the same ways and things. Now it’s about being a bargain hunter! X

[@holasipotes4225]

Such a beautiful couple! That man is worth a lot for he loves his wife without make up. That shows how pure is his love towards her. ❤

[@MAL1GNANT]

Taking free things is GOOD. If the goal is to be utilitarian, then start a compost bin and take whatever waste biomass you can and incorporate it. If it is going to waste, then you can profit from it.

[@LinJMartinez]

My husband and I have 1 towel each. 1 comforter, 1 throw blanket. 2 pillows each. We downsized so much and we are happy

[@ksk881]

I just discovered your channel, and I'm binging on them. I agree with you about social things. I will only go if it is a family requirement like a wedding or funeral. Even then, I'll get out of it if I can. I'd rather stay home with my cats and read.

[@Mmolesy]

We dont decorate for holidays aside from our 4ft Christmas tree. I dont iron unless absolutely necessary I dont match socks or fold underwear We dont drink, dont have cable, buy dvds and cds second hand or heavily discounted Dont have a lot of toys and i dont wear make up, beyond mascara and coconut oil on my lips when we go to a wedding or funeral. Which is rare. We dont socialize.we use empty boxes to carry groceries and burn the boxrs off or repourpose them.

[@conkodo]

Some of the recommendations seem out of reach for me presently but their logic makes intuitive sense to me

[@dorisochoa116]

Christmas is the only holiday I like to decorate for and same, just the Christmas tree is enough storing for me lol Good to see you both 😊 thnx for sharing!

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

excellent tips i especially liked the tip regarding not rewarding the kids with a toy all the time, and microwave food, yes all amke sense, thank you for sharing

[@normasubia6807]

Love your work I’m tired of moving one box of stuff to that corner and moving it back to another part of my house sooo!!! out the door it goes THANKS ❤

[@happylovejojo1763]

Thanks!

[@Michelle-yq2pe]

@TheArmsteadFamily you guys are cool, I like to listen to you. You’re just simple and real

[@maddyrichards7881]

Love this guys

[@casn3424]

Thank you for your video! 🤩

[@HealthAtAnyCost]

I stumbled across you two and adore you already! Your mindset and attitudes align with mine perfectly even though I'm not a minimalist in the technical sense. How I wish I had known these things when my kids were young. Now, my kidlets are minimalistic and are modeling the behavior to my grandkids, things I wish I had done. So proud of them! I subscribed to your channel and look forward to much more! _heading to your other videos_

[@catwomanarizona]

Great video! You might wanna keep the grocery bags( hide them) for kitty litter!

[@TrangHuynh-hz9vb]

Everything but folding the clothes, lol .I learned how to fold it into a square block it's stay like that way even though I knock it down. I used to hate it, but now, like a hobby to they neatly fold .May I'm the only one who thinks like that 😂.

[@sandyc.5017]

I 100% feel you on the coffee mugs.😬

[@strongfanbase17]

[@sandycheeks1580]

🎉😮Don’t throw out perfectly good shirts due to fading. Use black rit dye & woolite for darks.

What is the Air purifier you use.

[@jennyjenkins877]

Air Doctor was the brand mentioned in the video but they meant to include a link so I'm sure that will follow.
