7 Minimalist LIFE HACKS that still work

[@Nonoitsnotme]

Cash back apps sound really smart. Does anyone know any app to scan receipt and get cash back in Europe? I couldn’t find any🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Living.minimal]

Hi hun I'm gonna pin your comment so others can help you out with this particular question. Sorry about that I wish I knew some apps for you.

[@Nonoitsnotme]

@@Living.minimal thanks a lot Kyra💛

[@michelleneubauer5099]

Hey girl! In germany as well as Austria Theres PAYBACK but honestly its not even close to US apps. It only works with very few stores and i find the deals n benefits to be a joke. Sadly i haven’t found anything similar to ibota etc yet..

[@melodiya1583]

I love the idea of putting perfume samples in your closet! Never thought of that. My mom has taught me to put strong smelling soap in my clothes for a good smell.

[@Living.minimal]

Ooh that’s a good one as well! Thanks for sharing hun 🤍

[@Ramidra]

I do that too. But not like strong smelling ones, I choose scents that I like. Funny but my fav is Jonsons lavender one.

[@winterdreamy]

always love the dramatic Kyra-talking-to-Kyra clips, it tickles me big time. (especially so when it resonates)

[@Living.minimal]

Haha I'm glad you like it. I try to add some humor in these type of sit down videos.

[@dmg912008]

“Share instead of hoard” I love that!!!

[@LuxLightning.]

Kyra you are so beautiful lol That was my first thought when I clicked on this video. Thanks for inspiring some of us to go natural/clean makeup

[@Living.minimal]

Aww thanks a ton hun 🥲🤍

[@theashleybclay]

I've found it hard to do a large purge from my closet, and I really do have TOO many items that I can't even wear all of them each year. Over the last several years, I have given away items in small groupings, to different people as they have mentioned they would want some of my items. I have also sent many items to ThredUp, which has been a great experience. I'm finally getting to a better place with the items that I have and it encourages me to continue to get the items down even more when I'm able to see everything that I have better.

[@Living.minimal]

That is awesome to here hun. It’s ok to declutter at a slower pace I actually advice to do that. This way your not getting rid of items you might want or need a couple of weeks or months from now.

[@theashleybclay]

@@Living.minimal Yes! My thoughts exactly. I’m always worried I will want something even when I haven’t worn it in years. So, I tell myself that if I haven’t worn it in years and am wearing other items, I have those and don’t need the item that I’m not wearing. 😁

[@eleniprovia7667]

Kyra, I do the same with perfume samples! I use them in my wardrobe, between stacked bath towels etc. Loved this video, as always, very useful! Love you girl 🙏🙏🙏

[@Living.minimal]

Love that! Thanks for being here Eleni

[@sanja7489]

Love this..I have never tried it but sure I will. Thanks Kyra 🙏

[@reallygoodatfolding]

I live in Australia and we air dry everything here, it’s rare to use your dryer (usually only for an emergency in winter)

[@Ari-ze8wm]

Ibs I’m having a flare up and watching your voices are helpful and feel distract from my pain . I switched to toothpaste tablets I’m obsessed with them . My teeth feel cleaning and look brighter.

[@Living.minimal]

Aww I hope your doing ok Ari

[@justagirluwu]

Hey Kyra! Would you think about doing a video or a part of a video where you name tv shows or movies that you’ve been enjoying lately? I feel like minimalism can apply to the things we watch online too and lately its so cluttered on Netflix and hulu and all those channels that i never end up finishing what i start. Maybe you have some tips! Thanks for making videos for us, I always enjoy them. I took a break from KZbin and I was binging your vids today that I hadn’t seen 😊

[@kaatiiin]

Kyra, thank you for being genuine. All love from Philippines.

[@Living.minimal]

Aww thank you for being here Kaatiiin🤍

[@embraceintentions]

I have never thought about the perfume samples hack! What a great idea. We usually use lavender from the garden in spring and summer, but now I have something to try in the autumn and winter when the flowers don’t bloom 👍

[@slideinalldirections718]

Thank you for the reusable tips! I started using reusable eye make-up remover wipes a few years ago and I feel much better knowing I'm not chucking 1-2 disposable cotton rounds per day in the trash anymore. They're small but they add up over the years for someone like me who wears eye make-up most days. Plus the reusable ones are small enough to include in any laundry load that I'd be doing anyway.

[@TheSweetlisag]

Cannot wait to see your video. Just sitting here with my tea latte and listening to your soothing voice is a great Monday. Thank you.

[@Living.minimal]

Oh WOW thank you so much!

[@rootingforyou]

Your perfume hack is awesome! I love the idea of freshening up your clothes with designer scents. What hair mask do you and V use? Your hair is stunning!

[@Living.minimal]

Thank you Jessica, I will be showing all of the products I use in an upcoming vlog 😉 so stay tune.

[@alexqtea]

Can you maybe show us using those money-saving apps whenever you shop? I tried one before (forgot which app) but kept forgetting to download coupons before shopping & idk, i kinda stopped trying. Would love to see you use them in action I guess 😅 (this was also when i didn't really plan my shopping trips/things i was buying) so maybe i'd be better using those apps now😁

[@Living.minimal]

Sure thing Alexandrea! Lately I’ve only been using fetch rewards since it’s beyond easy and kind of addicting lol. Ibotta is more of a process and i normally only check what’s on sale there or what’s free, if I need it.

[@Coco-rw2qx]

Love your channel so,so much Kyra 🌸 These hacks are so smart!!

[@Living.minimal]

Thank you Coco 🤍🤍

[@cassierae96]

Loved this video Kyra! Do you have any advice about getting bored easily with items? No matter what I purchase, in the moment I thinks it’s what I want but then after a few days/weeks I want something new. It’s a big reason I follow minimalism to get away from this mindset, but I still struggle. Any advice is appreciated 🙏

[@kilinka007]

I used to have that same problem! One thing that’s definitely helped me was my 1-month-rule… so basically if I want something (clothing, tech etc.) I won‘t purchase it right away, but instead wait about a month. If I‘m still thinking about that item I will get it, if not I probably have forgotten about it anyways 😂

[@mariah660]

I’ve been using Nuuly and I really like it. You rent 6 items from top brands for $88 a month. I know it’s spending money, but I just found that I was spending so much on new clothes and this helped me wear new items every month and then return them after a month. You’re not collecting anything, just switching up your wardrobe every month using the subscription.

[@jacks9816]

@@kilinka007 yes! And to add on to that, you could consider making a wishlist with the date…wait a month (or more) and once the time comes write in the resolution. It will be satisfying to see you no longer felt the urge to buy it! Or if it’s still something you want, then you know it was more than just an impulse 💛

[@jacks9816]

Basically it’ll help you be more aware of your patterns and be more prepared to say No to yourself quicker in the future. Or to be more confident in the things you say yes to.

For some reason I haven’t seen any of your videos!! For mths!! Finally one popped up.

[@Living.minimal]

Yea I heard that this is a big problem with small content creators like myself. No one has been seeing our videos lately 🤔I wonder why?

[@Nikkiilss]

@@Living.minimal I’m not sure it’s weird because I’m subscribed ? I’ll see if I have notifications turned on as well.

[@dianaramirez3487]

Fetch Rewards is the greatest. A friend turned me on to it. LOVE IT!

[@JT-gc9yx]

Yea I think it’s weird some families have like 10 different soap shampoo conditioners shave creams & everything for each person lol at our house everyone used the same thing. & yes we all have our favorites but we always shopped by price & sales because it all gets the job done lol & yes now that we have kids I just wash a full hamper every few days instead of separating.

[@Living.minimal]

I think in the US we are taught to just have things for us and us only. Idk why but I’ve notice how selfish I was specially with my products back then. My sisters and I could’ve easily shared clothes, shampoo etc but we where taught not to and what’s mine is mine 🤦🏻‍♀️. Such a weird thing to teach kids but anyways it’s true a family of 5 or 10 can use the shampoo and conditioner as long as it doesn’t cause any irritation or hair problems. I also wash my clothes with everything mixed expect my whites, those I need to wash separately.

[@Hazeleyedbushytailed]

Loved this video and loved seeing that you’re almost at 100k! Go Kyra!

[@arlenevillanueva7585]

I stopped using the dryer when mine broke down years ago for the millionth time and got rid of it but I didn't have babies any more. Tiny clothes is a hassle to line dry.

[@asanta2023]

Kyra, I seen the link for the paper towels you use in your kitchen. Your link leads me to the website. Can you let me know which specific towels you purchased and how much? I want to get the same ones you have and the same color. Thank you so much in advance. Great video hun!

[@Living.minimal]

Hi hun, here's the link for the exact ones I have, let me know is this helps. if not I can always type in the exact ones, Oh and I own 2 orders of the 24 pack.

I don’t mind using the dryer for larger items like comforters but if I do dry them in the dryer it has to be on low heat only.

[@wonderwoman5158]

Kyra when you said fetch was addicting I was like sure it is . And before I finished your video I downloaded it and already scanned like 12 receipts 😂😂 it’s addicting and the noise makes it much more fun to download. I like Ibotta but I feel like fetch is faster with talking points unlike Ibotta if I’m being honest. Some apps are worth having like store apps such as Walmart/ Home Depot/ lowes etc if you frequent them often since it helps you finding an item without help and you scan items to check prices or if it’s in stock etc. Love it . I do dry certain items and others I dry on the rack since it’s more effective to dry heavier bulky items . But beware because in smaller places it can cause a lot of humidity and cause mold so make sure to air out your place . Your sisters should look into electric company programs like equal pay and low income help . There’s a lot of programs that help lower the bill for gas/ electricity even cable or internet service. Saves you a bunch and some still offer fridge replacement for an energy saver fridge at no cost to the customer. We only have electricity where we live right now and our bill went to $320 and I about died when I saw it because it’s the most expensive I’ve ever had a bill and this was just one bill. But luckily I was able to get the equal pay and I have one solid payment each month and end of year they charge me if I over used electricity which is fine because it’s one bill unlike $300/$400 a month . I now pay under $200
