All the “minimalists” throwing shade at you aren’t real minimalists cus they are hoarding some serious amount of salt. 😅🤭

Are there any who throw shade at him? Wow! Insane. Smh.

I sit thru all ads so jasper gets the best treats

[@justjoelee]

he thanks you

[@cjsachi4663]

I feel the frustration with the “minimalist community” weird standards and counting items. Everything I own fits into a studio apartment with room to roam but because I love tapestries and have a lot of posters my friends with full houses of stuff tease me that I’m not a real minimalist. Its easy to brush it off one or two comments, but over time I feel the frustration. Everyone’s journey is different and there should not be a weird pressure to only own 100 items or whatever

[@justjoelee]

yes! you do you!

[@kioshekat7931]

I totally get that lol I have a lot of movie posters from my job but I like them all and I enjoy switching out my posters and get use from them aesthetically

[@AndSoWeLaughed]

Looks like minimalism to me. I thought minimalism was about functionality anyway, it's not just a trendy lifestyle but to actually help you maximise efficiency and prioritise easier? Looks good!

[@Victory_n_Jesus]

sweeping I enjoyed how you pointed out that minimalism is about focusing on investing what brings you joy. People often forget this. Mine is gardening and natural healing supplies :)

[@MementoVivere.]

I just wanna throw it out here that if you made a Patreon I would 100% support you just for you to be able to create more content and I’m sure many would agree.

[@justjoelee]

appreciate that!

[@MarielaMerino]

omg jasper in the rain coat.

[@justjoelee]

so cute 😭

[@golden_zebra]

HOnestly, seems pretty cool. You still have 'less' material things than most people although not as organized as other minimalist but, really, I can see that all your things are either essential or you love it! What non-minimalists (or fake minimalist), what gives them away, is mostly how sometimes they don't know what most of what they own or they just consider most of their storage 'messy' (or they have junk JUNK drawers but hidden away). The most important as a minimalist, in consideration for the things they own, is their system. If everything has a use and has a place then that's all that matters, not the number of things they own.

[@user-mw7qs3nt8p]

“I’m and immigrant, I’m not very good at English” I felt that 😂😂😂

[@paulbourke6215]

Great video, to me minimalism isn't about having one cup, one chair. For me it's about what bring joy into your life and intentional living.

[@LenaMaeYT]

Wait a second. I can eat a brocolli stem? Wow, my uneducated self didn‘t knew that. Thanks Joe

[@justjoelee]

Yesssss!

[@cavidn7856]

The best part. U can eat it raw too, like a carrot. Just get rid of the skin, it is tough and not edible

[@jeibodega7467]

Cavid Nadirov I legit JUST threw away a broccoli stem and you and Joe just helped me so much for next time

[@KarlaTheMichelle]

Yep, I just realized this recently too and I’ve been chopping them up & cooking them in chili/rice!

[@maritaandreahansen7138]

yas! love that you are jest keeping it real, and showing that minimalism does not need to be this perfect amount of items that you own. quarantine is way more entertaining with your videos, so keep up the good work! (and plants are in my opinion a necessity, it is for the mental wellbeing XD)

[@justjoelee]

glad I could make quarantine a bit more enjoyable 👌🏼

[@riaanvanmaastricht9594]

I love how expressive you are when you taste food and your emotions take over, keep up the good work!

[@ethan2bart]

Sunski for sunglasses! Made from recycled plastic :) I just got a pair for myself and a pair for my boyfriend!

[@stephaniecasper7578]

For the potatoes, if you have an oven, put them on a tray with olive oil, garlic salt, pepper, and rosemary. I think they go in for 15 minutes on 350 degrees. They taste delicious.

[@annawaiq6360]

With that video in mind I am going to leave my desk now and organize my entire kitchen. It is time

[@ronnie-lynn]

I say your totally a minimalist. Just because you have a decent wardrobe, after all we are living in Canada. We have 4 strong seasons that require proper attire. Granted now your in van winter isn’t as harsh but still. You totally kill it with basics that are functional for your lifestyle. I love your plants and your approach and attitude. You rock dood! I’m a girl and I watch your clothes hauls and all. Great insight for even females for gifting partners or anyone else. You rock Joe. Your inspiring 🙌🏻

[@sierrabouchard3147]

Love your view on minimalism! 😍 That's how I identify too - I have "a lot" of stuff (relatively speaking to that idealist view of minimalism) but I value each and every one of my things!

[@justjoelee]

so awesome!

Hi @JustJoeLee! It would be cool to see an updated vid like this now that you live with Ryan. I’d love to see how you guys keep things minimal in a shared home. Thank you. Enjoying your content!

thanks! Ill look into em 👌🏼

[@leahs1126]

Panda sunglasses are great! Made of bamboo, lenses can be recycled! And all their glasses are polarized- I highly recommend! They’re super light and comfortable too.

[@dallasdowell2508]

I just watched a video before this about people keeping sourdough starters in their house. I don't know if you're really into baking but they talked about keeping sd starters like it was a living thing. And since you like plants and dogs then maybe this would be up your alley too!

[@justjoelee]

👀 very interested

As long all the items u own serve u a purpose and no extra useless items store in a box or closet than you are a minimalist. Great vid.👍

[@nicole-su8dl]

spooked because i started this video on my kitchen counter while taking my potatos off the stove 😯 also your approach to minimalism is very marie kondo-ish. i like it, it’s so much more doable and enjoyable than forcing yourself to live the life of a monk.

[@Chanelle0006]

Love how clean and neat everything is 👍🏼 ... one of my goals for 2020 is to get rid of items/clothing that I do not use or need. Thanks for the videos Joe! ☺️

[@whatelsewouldyoudo]

Wow your apartment is so clean

[@drewbdarby]

Curious about your review of Cuts over time. I LOVE how mine feel and fit, but I'm seeing some serious piling and wear after 6 months. Being careful and washing them only when needed, as instructed, inside a garment bag...but still.

[@justjoelee]

will mention in the video!

[@valeriah.4048]

I‘d love to see a video on the ‚issues of zero waste‘. Because zero waste mainly focuses on waste, but not for example on CO2 emissions and its implications. This is probably even more important than simply not producing any plastic at all.

[@justjoelee]

awesome topic!

[@theblablablubberbla]

Love that your are using the Vitamix as decor

[@januarywaterchild7521]

Joe. I think that you’re Absolutely correct. The Minimalist life choice doesn’t have to be numbered. I’ve downsized on “stuff” that just took up space. Now I live with intention. My items now either serves a purpose or brings me joy. I’ve stopped counting my plants after 124.

[@justjoelee]

gotta do what works for you!

[@atlasraedanger]

Joe out here making me feel better for having a buttload of plants. They make me really happy and there's something about taking care of a living thing and keeping it alive and happy that makes me feel useful and happy (especially since I'm not allowed to have a pet at my parents' house lol)

[@carolinerock835]

Curious if you keep any stuff at your parent’s house, or if you have any sentimental items? Like diplomas, cards/letters, important documents?

[@albertsantana031]

Bro, boil the potatoes, store them and then cook the potatoes on the pan. I do that for meal prep.

[@justjoelee]

I ran out of containers 😂

[@swicheroo1]

You can also simply bake a bunch of potatoes, if you are baking something in the oven. I did baby back ribs in the oven this weekend. Didn't want to waste the oven space. So, I baked potatoes alongside. Now, I'll have some breakfast potatoes at will!

[@thechroniclesofkweencoth]

For the jars (if you’re looking to replace the old broke ones 😹), you could just reuse food jars that you get from the shops. Been doing that since uni, saves recycling waste and money. 😅 (yes, i drink out of them... as in for wine too...) or use them to grow out plant cuttings / grow water based plants too / keep your herbs a lot more fresh and alive / grow your veg scraps (for the roots to grow out). Self isolating low waste activities :D and for decluttering the jars, you could message the bulk / refill store if they would take them or not. (Especially with the virus going around right now.) Would suggest to sanitise them first before donating, it’s one less shitty thing to do. 😏

Other than the towels which I feel he has too much of (but granted he just got sent them, and are sponsored and he would not purchased them himself). I don’t think his clothes is that much and still quite minimal. He stays in Toronto which can be quite cold. And to take note all those clothes are inclusive workout clothes, daily wear clothes, pyjamas and formal wear. PS Jasper is totally adorable. Please let him be a lap dog and print out a photo of him in his yellow raincoat.

I once find it stressful to throw away my collections as well, but when I realize that I adapt to this lifestyle for my happiness purpose, it was way better. I kept things that I like, or things that are too expensive to throw away hahaha (asian, ya know), I find it as a way of living and it should be practical.

[@Alesanascreamokid]

You are DEFINITELY a minimalist, no idea how any person can say otherwise. I have more than 300+ clothing pieces, which drive me insane sometimes. They're a collection of everything from approx. age 15 to now. I am 26. Should really get rid of loads of stuff, but I find that throwing away = waste, and donating is a bit hard because organisations already have alot of clothing they can't get rid of... plus I don't own a car to transport all of this. I am striving for an 'essentialist' lifestyle, which is working quite well for me in all areas except for clothing (obviously). I made some huge progresses esp. buying organic, vegan, zero waste, natural (🙄) products. Long way to go, wish me luck, ya'll :)
