Minimalism to me is about contentment. When I am content with what I have, I am at peace and do not feel the need to add to my space. Having said that, I also believe quality is important. Frugality is very important to me, so I will spend more an item I know will get a lot of use and that I will need for a long time. I also will pay more for an item with multiple uses, rather than spend less for a few one purpose items.

I needed to tell you. You videos have literally changed my life. I started watching you quite some time ago but being a very “minimal” you tube watcher they were interesting but not what I thought of as life changing. THEN I learned more about minimalism. I have been an over the top consumer. 5 years ago I moved to Florida with nothing and was soon bursting at the seams. I started to declutter and your style gave me a craving for a cleaner more minimal aesthetic and lifestyle. Fortunately my furniture was all white or white and natural wood and I could eliminate or minimize the color easily but the AMOUNT OF STUFF! I think the greatest revelation for me though was realizing “I can’t take it with me” when we pass from this earth love and memories are all we carry with us and now my focus is on experiences not things and people not possessions. Thank you Christine. I’ve even started gardening and collecting plants. You have truly helped me change my life!!

as far as color palette for me, people have said for years how they always notice that warm, autumnal colors compliment my complexion and look best on me personally. i definitely tend to lean more towards those warm, natural colors with hints of pastel blush pinks. my home decor, makeup, clothes, etc. all follow the same color palette and it's so calming for me when i see tones that are very warm, neutral and natural! colors that stress me out just by looking at them would be hot pinks or reds, bright colors or neons, and almost any sort of purples. so i definitely feel you when it comes to color psychology!

Minimalism for me has turned into a lifestyle. I have decluttered my house to only have items that serve a purpose in my life. It has made such a difference in clean up time & laundry. I am much happier with just the items that I need. I make a list of things I "need" if there's something that comes to mind. It stays on that list for a bit until I am absolutely sure I do need it, in order for me to bring it into my house. Teaching those same habits to my sons, so that they can also live intentionally in their future homes.

I'm not a minimalist and find that whatever I get into, I become a bit obsessed. it's good to understand a spectrum of viewpoints. A huge part of life is experiences. I subscribe to: Mindful buying, find your definition of minimalism, one in and one out, embrace space. Decluttering and organizing my space always brings clarity and reduce stress for me. While I will always love skincare, makeup, clothes, one major change we incorporated a few years back was to stop shopping at Costco or buy in bulk. Our grocery list is just for food we'll be cooking for that week so by Friday night, our fridge & freezer is nearly empty. It has been such a struggle to get my husband to buy items that are on our grocery list- he's got a little hoarding problem.

Sage Green and a gold accent, (along with monochrome warm greys) makes me feel safe, calm, and decluttered both mentally and physically. I can't handle bright or really light colours. It's too stimulating and busy for my brain. And especially certain colours or bright hues paired together are hard for my eyes to tell apart-- like it's weird, not colourblindness, but for example if I see hot pink writing/image on a lime green background it blurs and becomes like visual TV static that I can't read or discern. It's the weirdest thing. I'm glad to have come across your channel. Thanks for this! I needed a reset. :)

Great video. Since you asked; my color palette is dark walnut furniture, golds, green/blue's and gray. I also try and go for a midcentury aesthetic with the colors I like. In other words, the furniture pieces need to have a particular look and style in addition to color. Red, oranges, and yellows in home decor give me a cluttered anxious feeling. I also had any sort of wood that is lightly colored or has red/orange undertones. I only like wood that is really dark and tone-less.

You are so right. Skincare from the inside out should be taught in schools; it's that important. I use all-natural products for my skin, which can get pretty expensive for most. But, for me, it's more about watching what I put in my body. This works so well for my skin that when I do use the expensive all-natural product every day, I need very little in portion size in each tx. I love all-natural earth tones in my home with a single pop of color here and there. I like white, terracotta, cream, browns, and gray-blue and sage green tones in my house. During the fall, I love to surround my self with the fall colors. I am very attracted to Burnt Umber. I seem to change with the season, now that I think about it. I am brand new to your channel. I just happened to come across it by accident. A happy accident, of course. I really like what you have to say and find that we are like minds. I am a late bloomer compared to you as far as minimalism goes. It is something I always wanted but I didn't know that's what was missing. I have had that something missing feeling for a long time, and ironically it was that not enough was missing. The less I have the more at peace I am. I think more clearly and I am more creative. I have a craft room that is not minimalistic at all. LOL. But it is very organized, so it seems minimalist. Beading and weaving is my weakness.

My color palette is blue (light or dark), white, grey, lavender and cream, earthy tones! White make me feel light and cloud like, and blue for the ocean and the night sky soothes me!

I love greens and peaches. For me they are calming and cozy colors. Think soft peach walls and lots of plants. I like to feel cozy in a space. On another note, I have stopped plucking my eyebrows. I have naturally full eyebrows and have spent the last thirty years over-plucking them. I decided that my eyebrows are perfect for my face. I don't pluck them anymore. Now when I see overly plucked and painted eyebrows I think they look so fake and unnatural. I swear to God it set me free.

My color palette....I'm not sure about colors in general (I like a lot of random colors, darks and lights), but I at the moment have a color/style palette for my living space. White, black, greys, and dark wood tones, with pops of color (mostly metallics and greens and blues). I figure the metallics are almost a neutral. Basically it's rustic, with medieval and industrial vibes. Woods, ceramic, metals, anything that looks like it could have been made by hand (vs plastics). (Like that wooden side table next to your bed--my eyes immediately went to it, I love it)

I became a minimalist a few years ago and it’s so liberating.

I love number 4. As an educator my minimal clothing needs to possibly be more than someone who might not work outside their home and workout clothes. But minimal amounts as needed that are quality.

All of your points you’re making are spot on!! This year I am focusing on all of this!! I’ve been getting more away from color and using and loving more of the natural elements and lighter tones! My closet is my focus in Feb, along with the bathroom and closet! Declutter! I just got married 2 months go, so this year is the year of ORGANIZATION!! Thank you for all of the advice!!!! Have you written a book?! You are amazing! Love your style. Thank you! You have a new subscriber. ✌🏼Christina

The colour point is so interesting. In New Zealand many modern homes are black, the black highlights the natural dark bush more and seems really enlightening. But, as soon as I move to a city the idea of all black becomes so depressing. So when living out of the NZ native forest I gravite to the polar opposite, white.

Your videos have really inspired me on my view of buying and cleaning. I stopped buying clothes because they were on sale or impulse buys and now I tell myself do I really love this, do I really need it, and will it last long! Also putting items in my cart and waiting a couple days on it to see if I still think about it and want it. My colors are definitely soft muted tones. I love light/blushy pinks and soft pastel purples, blues and greens. I also really like pearly off white and light grey! For sure a more pastel person! My mom on the other hand loves neon and deep colors but I do not like deep purples and red at all!

Very good tips. The basis of it all seems to be mindfulness. Thanks!
