[@emilykochco]

Please please do a video soon on budgeting I do our families budget and I can't get anything to stick and I really want to follow a budget.

[@superfacch]

For the hair ties all over the house, I solved this issue by placing ring dishes or tiny jars in places where they tend to accumulate. Boom, no mess and your hair ties don't get lost anymore. Also a great way to remember to take your pills or vitamins if you don't have a pill case

[@camelia261]

I put them on my deodorant spray or on my hair oil bottle. It works on any bottle…

[@francy-mv6zt]

Mine are quite similar (not in order) coffee, motor jacket, wireless earphones, budget app, hair diffuser, sweatpants/leggins, hair ties, mobile phone, smartwatch and sneakers.

[@ferrisd7566]

I drink my coffee black with cinnamon too! Fresh ground every morning and into my French press. I buy decaf beans and regular, so I do about 50/50.

[@kathrynp7595]

Sunscreen is a must, been wearing it since I was 16 yrs, now 56 yrs with no age spots and very few wrinkles 😁

[@Christinamychas]

Yessss ☀️

[@Hello-Stoiko]

When I was a teen I got hives from wearing sunscreen so just completely stopped for years due to not knowing what ingredient was causing it. But my teen has been forced to wear mineral sunscreen since childhood so hopefully when she is 56 yo she’ll say the thing as you.

[@goodvibes4527]

This might seem kinda random but I have extreme fear and anxiety about growing up. I’m turning 22 soon and every night I lay awake in fear of growing old. What is it like? How can I not be afraid? What was life like?? Sorry. If this is weird you don’t have to respond

[@MalamaLife]

Our list is so similar. coffee, high rise denim, and eyebrows :)

[@Christinamychas]

🥰🥰

[@thenopedetective]

This would be off topic, but would you ever talk about your tattoo(s)? Of course, some love theirs or hate them or it's overly personal, so only if it's a comfortable topic. I'm going for my first (at 28) in a couple months!

[@cecilereyna]

Your video editing has improved a lot, you can notice the work. Great video as always!

[@Christinamychas]

Thank you so much! Practice makes progress 🥰

[@annasoko-sapikowska4353]

we support so many refugees in Poland and ready for more! Almost 7.000 people died during 7 days 💔 Thank you for supporting Ukraine and using your influence and for this purpose. let’s help our Ukrainian friends 🇺🇦💛💙

[@mariajosefernandez2568]

Poland is doing such a great job !!

[@olgasulaeva2845]

Thank you so much for your support❤

[@sangvinka]

I would like to write something to support people of Ukraine but all my words sound kinda pathetic. I’m from Russia and I’m against the war. Just couldn’t go by…

[@olgasulaeva2845]

Thank you for your position. Olga from Ukraine.

[@Christinamychas]

They are not pathetic. Every word and gesture of support matters. Especially when they come from Russia. We know what’s at stake and what it means. Thank you for your support 💙💛

[@jlb101]

Love this! I cant live without 1) coffee 2) dark chocolate 3) my knitting 4) sunscreen 5) brows 6) monstera plant- if this ever dies, i die 7) phone 8) running/workout shoes 9) waterbottle 10) pearl earrings- I never take them off.

[@khalilahd.]

As a novice minimalist I love this idea! I personally can’t live without my favorite urban outfitters jeans and my iced matcha 😅💜 also I thought I was the only one who had hair ties lying around the house everywhere 😂

[@Christinamychas]

Everywhereeeeee 😂😂

[@BubblyViolin11]

I attach mine to a jumbo hair clip when I don’t use them so that they’re all in one place. Haven’t lost one since!

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Lol. Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, and comfy pajamas!

[@luvlost03]

Ditch the cigarettes they ain't cool anymore

[@holleyjay1122]

Me watching this with my AirPods in wearing align leggings while I draw in my eyebrows after drinking my coffee 😆

[@Christinamychas]

Lol you get me 😂❤️

[@hellohannahjennings]

AMEN to never going back to low rise jeans 🙌🏼😂

[@gabrieladoleckova8046]

[@cavianguardian]

[@poppycros5901]

[@alyxxa6182]

Lulu lemon fabric contains hormone altering micro plastics. Highly recommend switching brands

[@tired_buthappy]

Bamboo bedsheets, a short haircut, iPhone, Nintendo switch, bidet, electric toothbrush, AirPods, Leslie Sansone walking workouts

Please don’t hate me, but if you can, take a look at the ABH situation right now… I think it’s something of interest for you! 💛💙

[@Christinamychas]

Sorry what’s ABH? Thanks!

@@Christinamychas Anastasia Beverly Hills! Sorry 😅

[@tanakribbs3583]

I’m with you on jeans. I love jeans. Everytime I say I’m not buying anything else. I am going to work my wardrobe. I get rid of things. I’m learning to mix and match but I can’t get rid of my blue jeans and if I see a really good price on a pair that I love, I’ll buy another pair. I am obsessed

[@Breanna.HouseOfCorgis]

my dogs and caffeine would be top two - Id really have to think on the others

[@Christinamychas]

🐶 ☕️ 🥰

[@sirendipitybritt]

I love your things! I would be comfy in your life :) great taste 🤗

[@nikobeadsua]

Героям слава 💙💛

[@olgasulaeva2845]

Ми переможемо!

[@camelia261]

Get your eyebrows done with ombre powder technique, it would be great for you as it saves time, better than microblading. Works for all skin types

[@resi2120]

I could never live without my cozy blanket 😍😍😍😍

[@MrsButtercup26]

Hi Christina... great video!! Did you get the chance to do the video on explaining your way of doing bugeting?

[@MrsKore20]

Ok, tbh I created a list while watching: Coffee, book collection, long black dresses, mascara, bullet journal and pen, chocolate, watch, chunky boots and probably a hair clip.

[@Christinamychas]

How could I forget chocolate!

[@simoneastewart]

Hi Christina, thanks for this. Very much enjoyed this video. Thinking of you and your family at this time. Sending you kind thoughts.

[@simplylovedandused]

Yes to the budget video!

[@sablisland]

I love my budget!! I have to use a spreadsheet alongside my app because sometimes I can’t tell what went wrong and I have to compare the app figures with my bank figures - there’s a whole process. I remember talking to a friend of mine who said she didn’t budget and I couldn’t imagine winging it all the time!!!!

[@maryellen21]

Personally, I would find it really useful to see how you use your budget day to day 😉

[@bstrong5016]

Can't live without... my family A hair elastic, floss, uggs- both boots and slippers, a beautiful handbag, Birkenstocks, My diamond ring, my dogs and cat, my Mac Book and phone, a black cashmere sweater, black jeans, black sunglasses ;)

[@lhendriks]

I cannot live without the 3 'c's' = coffee, cats and chocolate, but as well books, plants and my favorite perfume and very practical my ear plugs.

[@Christinamychas]

These are very important C’s 😍

[@laurenmw9629]

Definitely ear plugs!

[@onimendez7735]

❤ 👏 Much love Christina 🇺🇦 💙

[@marystewart1292]

Love the Chaika personalized emoji on the EarPods pro ❤️

[@Christinamychas]

🥰🐶

[@VanessaGoins]

I'm with you on the 12 year old overplucking! I had my brows done a few years ago (need them redone).

[@katrinastacie]

This inspires me to think about my list and maybe make a vid as well! thanks for the vid and for donating 💛💛

[@l.l.lekens6610]

I can't live without raw chocolate, my EarPods, my leather pants & pencil skirt, my herbal teas, red lipstick and flowers

[@Nicole-jo6vz]

Your videos are truly my favorite! So inspirational 💛 especially nice to watch them in the mornings

[@rocioiribe5841]

3 years ago i got sprayed by a skunk while out on a walk, i washed and washed my aligned leggings, letting them air dry and everything and i could not get the smell out of them so i ended up throwing them out. by that point they were 2 years old, so i did get my money's worth. but my legging game has never been the same, no amazon dupe has come close. i really need to just buy another pair.

[@Anna-2]

I love the aligns too! It always bothered me though that they say it's for low impact only. It's true they will pill easily with abrasion, but I personally wore them for Brazilian jiu jitsu, so underneath a thick gi, and they pilled a lot on the bum BUT they are so stretchy and like another skin, like you said, and so they were perfect for BJJ. When you have a split second to shift your body positioning just before someone dumps their weight on you (side control bottom for anyone who knows :D ) you don't want leggings that restrict your movement. So if you don't mind the pilling they can work for higher impact/ abrasion exercises :)

[@ChristineG707]

So glad I happened across this video! I can't live without my electric kettle.

[@MelMel328]

Ah! We pretty much have the same “must haves” but I would swap the eyebrow pencil for black mascara and the eye mask for my fluffy and coziest robe 😄😄😄 oh, and by the way, your “wish list” spreadsheet has been such a huge help!

[@myrnaj4502]

🙋🏾‍♀️❤

[@Christinamychas]

🥰🥰

[@poppycros5901]

love this video ❤

[@apparently_sonam]

I don’t know if a budget has a need on a desert island, but that’s just me….

[@Christinamychas]

Lol fair! 💰

[@stephc836]

Love your videos!!! Just curious what brow pencil do you use and shade?

[@Christinamychas]

I used to use ABH brow whiz but I switched to Jones Road Beauty!

[@BafoofaSniclefrits]

Yes budget video please!

[@coffeeandcorgis8491]

Coffee and YNAB. That's how I start my day. :)

[@Christinamychas]

Love it!

[@stephaniejensen1644]

Hooray for budget!

[@kerstinr8940]

Yes to coffee! ☕️ I go to bed looking forward to my cup of coffee in the morning. It is my ultimate me-moment, when everyone else in the house is asleep. 🙃

[@barbarasoutas4510]

Yes! Glad to know it's not just me

[@clover-lv8px]

yes to the budget video!

[@jessie9653]

Oh have you tried the align joggers I think I'm actually like them even more than my align leggings 😁

[@Christinamychas]

I have! They’re great!

[@emilyv2728]

For me: sunscreen, my thermals/undergarments, English breakfast tea, comfortable sneakers, my menstrual cup, electronic toothbrush, comfy cotton socks. Haha!

[@gwenj5419]

Libby & kindle, coke zero, chocolate, tea, jeans, fabric & sewing machine, tablet

[@shannoncharron]

Coffee in a french press is my favourite way of making coffee. Mostly because I don't have the patience for pour over, so good on you! And black coffee is the best. :)

[@Christinamychas]

Haha it’s my fave! I find anything in it other than cinnamon is too creamy 😱

[@carriegabbert5645]

Vừa vào đã nổi cả da gà 藍giọng a Phúc hayyy quá, mong sẽ tiếp tục cover ạ ❤️

[@margek]

Coffee for sure.

[@lisadougherty5999]

That was fun! ☕

[@capdevielle976]

I really like your channel and I watch most of your videos, but I’m kind of sad to see that - as a minimalist (or at least to consume only what you really need and want in your life) - you accept sponsorship by the most consumerist company in the world 🥲 I know that most minimalist/slow life person doesn’t link this lifestyle with being « green ». But I wish I could see more of that kind of content online… especially with the minimalist movement growing ! Anyway, don’t know if it’s important for you, I wish it is and hope to see this kind of content here 💕

[@lauragill5422]

I seriously vibe with your videos, but can we also talk about your Simpsons love! I’m 30 and not ashamed to say the Simpsons are my absolute favorite so thank you for combining that with minimalism it really speaks to me 😂😂💛💛💛

[@Lesh004]

Levi 501 were the best jeans ever! Nothing under 99% cotton. I miss jeans like that. lol

[@333fancynancy]

Great top 10! Such lists can hightlight a person's personality and priorities. 😁 My top 10 must haves are : black coffee (we are not psychopaths!) 😅, moisturizer, sunscreen, all black outfit, analogue watch, earrings, lipstick, water bottle, and shea butter.

[@raym.4342]

I have been wanting to try lululemon, but I’m a diehard fan of the new 24/7 perform leggings by everlane. I wear them everywhere!

[@nataliab.4262]

HI any chance you would do videos on how you make your videos? I really enjoy your editing and cute, I feel like there is so many tools out there I'm getting a bit overwhelmed 😅

[@bernadettemary2135]

cant live without - my lenovo thinkpad, such a good laptop !! - hair tyes ' - hot milo (not healthy but so yum) - my iphone - a good set of bedsheets - moisturizer - cameras, whether on iphone or film - dresses of any kind ; just so easy to style!

[@arianedesjardins8775]

Hmm for me it would be my 100% cotton pyjama, underwear and bedsheets. I get all sweaty when these aren't in natural materials. I'd also add my bike because it's essential!

[@melissa4896]

Coffee, a good pair of leggings and sweat pants, my crocs, my dogs, make up, a nude color nail polish, my king size bed, a razor, my bath tub, and lots of hair ties too.

[@obscurity7]

Camera equipment for me might be close to #1. You could put me in the middle of the woods for 6 months, but as long as I have electricity to charge my camera battery, and a laptop with Adobe Lightroom, that's like 90% of my non-food needs.

[@thenopedetective]

I was drinking black coffee for years! Then I was gifted a frother from my brother and it is so fun and I've become an oat/soymilk person in the morning 😅. I don't know who I am with this changed coffee order!

[@ashhaley85]

I cannot and will not live without chapstick and ponytails. Great video btw😊

[@LorreneRomanic]

I just recently started using the free version of Every Dollar and really like it.

[@creative_by_oksana]

The align leggings are so good aside from the pilling! I wear a knee brace a decent amount of time and bulky pants are not my friends.

[@angellawalker4948]

Honestly the only thing I cant live without is food and water🤔🤔

[@adenafritz9547]

And snarky comments 😂

[@Christinamychas]

Lol fair 😂

[@melliezle]

same with silk scrunchies & high rise jeans (:

[@victoriajohnson3034]

I have always be a person who hates and rebels against routines and am ocd organized. My new life focus is on learning to be more intentional with the choices im making. Turning off auto pilot!

[@rahniamersereau]

I saw you’re linking to the abh brow pencil, which I also have used for years and loved. Unfortunately, the situation in Ukraine has brought to light that the founder is pro-Putin and also follows/supports a lot of American alt-right politicians and thought leaders. With this in mind, I can no longer support the brand. I am of course going to use up what I have - no sense in tossing a perfectly good product - but am on the hunt for alternatives.

[@Christinamychas]

Oh wow I had no idea - removing the link right now!!

[@kudzaishe7285]

I love motto jackets too

[@OkieDokie294]

I love your earrings!

[@debsmith80]

What sunscreen do you use? 🙂

[@cherylsimmons4540]

Enjoy your videos. I notice you wearing a pair f jeans with a side folded frontage. Could you provide info on these please and thank you 😊

[@Christinamychas]

Agolde criss cross jeans! Size down!

[@leda6454]

Would love an in-depth video of your budgeting process! I hope your family is safe and you've been able to take care of yourself the past couple of weeks.

[@Christinamychas]

Thank you 💙💛 and I can do that!

[@lonenugget4301]

Really like the bold (hoop?) earnings you have on! Where are they from?

[@Christinamychas]

They’re the Jenny bird arlo puff earrings!

[@TGYtco]

This was fun to watch. 😉

[@wlachappelle]

I love jeans too

[@Nini-tj6se]

Do you lighten your eyebrows, JW because im considering on doing that as a brunette for a softer look

[@Christinamychas]

I don’t! 😅

[@britneywalker5302]

Love this! My top 10 definitely feature some of the same things 1) hot shower 2)coffee 3)hair ties - I have silk mini scrunchie type ones and they are great 4)Sunscreen 5)Audible or KZbin premium for my commute 6)water bottle 7)meal prepped lunches 8)my budget 9)reformer pilates 10)nature

[@Christinamychas]

Omg KZbin premium has been a best purchase lately!

[@mf3610]

I love using EveryDollar, I use the paid version

[@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj000]

Wow--I'm actually surprised that we have quite a few of these in common--the hair ties, the eye mask, the jeans and the lulus (oh, and the iphone). I'd have to add glasses (both sun and vision), my bicycle, leather chacos (it's hot here), a good swimsuit, and a book :) Fun to do these types of lists! I also decided to try the budgeting app you mentioned--I have heard good things about YNAB but I like the cost of *free* even though I don't like supporting Ramsey.
