Is “this” minimalist?

Today let's talk about why it's hard to make concrete rules when it comes to minimalism. Instead, I'll share the criteria I use when decluttering and simplifying to decide if something stays or goes. (And even then there can be some grey area!)

When we remodeled our bathroom I had them put an outlet in the cupboard so my husband could charge his shaver & electric toothbrush there instead of having it on the counter.

[@Jessica_Jones]

Ooh great idea!

[@cm-nj]

I know I've commented on this already, but I cannot tell you enough how the inventory concept changed my world! I don't want to have to manage anything extra! It was so freeing to, then, say no to things people want to pass on to me or gift me. It's completely changed my desire to add to the house. I'm sooooo much more content with what we already own. It's been such a help in paring down holiday décor over the course of this past year. Thank you!!!

[@lmnav8r]

HONESTLY, I have cleared all my counters, tables, etc and while I LOVE how neat and streamlined my home looks, after a few weeks it started to feel really impersonal. Like okay my house looks like a hotel room so I have begun adding just one framed picture of like the kids, or grandma, or our family picture or just a nice picture I’ve taken with my phone in a simple frame and I like it so much better. It still feels minimal and always makes me smile when I look at them so no stress 😎 about “not being 100% minimal”

[@carolgeorge6409]

How can I message you. I would love ti have someone to face time and say work on the bathroom counters together etc!

[@marysimpson8457]

Your message was such an eye opener for me.I applied this to the set of canisters sitting on my kitchen counter. I have used these out of habit for over ten years, but store the portion I can't fill in an airtight container in the pantry. For years, I have dealt with grease splatter from the stove nearby or flung batter from the mixing bowl, floured hands touching the clamp to open, giving me more work of wiping them down....polishing the lids...and moving them to clean underneath. Why have I continued to do this, when it is just as easy to grab the airtight container and measure with a scoop?

[@suzie2080]

I was in Wal Mart yesterday and saw some plants and thought, "that would be nice to have on the kitchen counter". I then thought of you and knew that was an impulse buy also. I'm glad I didn't get it. I'll have a garden to plant soon and that will be enough plants. Happy Sunday!

[@T.T.M.60]

Gardens are great, aren’t they?...we will be planting soon😀👍❤️

[@AMcDub0708]

I was in Target yesterday and saw their cute advent pillows in the dollar spot. I thought “how cute for the kids and how cute in the living room!” I walked maybe 3 steps with it in my cart and then panicked and quickly put it back. In those couple of steps I remembered all the things Dawn taught me: it’s now Inventory, I’ll have to pack it away and store it off season, I’ll have to find another Xmas thing I own to get rid of to welcome this item, it will be ANOTHER pillow on my couch (ie more visual clutter), AND it would cause a Diderot effect bc my living room actually doesn’t match those colors so I would need a few “extra things” to pull it all together. 😨 I feel so relieved not bringing it home!!

[@ilanabailey9402]

For my friend, becoming a minimalist meant buying candles and burning them. Because for years, she’d have this candles but never felt like she could burn them. So when she became a minimalist, she realized she COULD and SHOULD use the candles for their purpose, which is to burn and give off light. So now, they’re a great gift to give her. Her mom just got her four candles and candle holders for her mantle that look AMAZING. And now she’s able to enjoy them for what they are. Interestingly, candle light is huge in Hygge because the lower light is relaxing.

[@jonap5740]

And for some reason, candle light reminds us of life.

[@schoo9256]

I have a similar-ish story. I'm not becoming a minimalist but I AM Konmari-ing everything I own, and I'm finally accepting that sometimes i will buy things with the intention that they will be in my life for a season, not for forever. I have a couple of self-help decks of flash cards I am using to work through current problems that I have, and I am guessing I will probably get five years' use or so out of them, but after their purpose for me is fulfilled, I won't need to keep them anymore and I can pass them on to someone else. The old me would keep them forever anyway, but the new me is just going to joyfully use what I need from them and move forward.

[@Kate.West.]

How about a “getting ready basket”? Put all your creams etc in a basket that you take out of the cupboard and put it on the side when you use it, and then straight back in the cupboard when you are done? And then it’s just the tooth brush that’s out on the side the whole time.

[@andreamiracle8402]

I started doing this when I couldn’t keep my makeup or skincare products in my vanity because of a very curious toddler. I use an art supply bag with handles (it’s got a big compartment in the middle and has six smaller pockets around the outside). I put it on an upper shelf in a bathroom cabinet and I love it! I pull it out, use whatever I need, and then it’s super easy to put away. I’ll probably keep using it even when I no longer have to.

[@jodythomas1159]

I’m going to do that today!! I tend to leave my stuff out (all over the counter). Then each time I walk in the bathroom, it just feels so....yuck. I’ve thought about a morning and evening basket to then keep under the sink. You post is my affirmation to do it! 😉

[@mizzezjones]

I was wondering about using a nice old baking dish to store the curling irons. Then they can be put away they are still warm.

[@Caffeinatedmuggle89]

This is what I do! I have a morning and an evening bin ☺️

[@poodlegirl55]

@Kate Weisenborn My friend has a small bathroom and all family members have a small plastic tote with a handle full of their stuff in the closet in the hall. Three kids and they all put the totes away, even the six year old.

[@pnwflipper2089]

Maybe Diana could use a metal waste basket for her curling iron so they don’t melt if she puts them in hot.

Me too. I often go back to the collection and make something in the fall for my son, scarf. Since I am doing more cleaning up the junk, I have not got time to do it but I will though. So sorry, I will keep mine in the basement. And I get 2 totes. It is a hobby that I will keep doing and getting back to. Unless someone I know can use it immediately, she can have some. I will quarantine them a little longer.

[@DH-qz2so]

@@carolynnicholls7551 I am a quilter whose KZbin feed sent me a Crochet Tutorial 2 years ago... Yes,... I now have fabric AND yarn! So here is my view: if your hobby is something you do on a continuous basis... weekly, and is somewhat 'seasonal' (I crochet more in the fall/winter than in the summer) which also determines how often/when you do your hobby, you do need a stash to do projects... 2020 showed me that...for all the reasons we all know!... So here are some ideas: Keep the yarn that you love and have patterns for Crochet once a week to get back into the groove Join (when we can again) a Guild or a Knit group at your local library Find a super easy fast pattern for scarf making, and when you watch tv/Netflix at night... do a 1 row repeat pattern - donate these scarves to Shelters/Homeless/Church charities for Missions trips etc. If you just don't want to "yarn' anymore, donate to a local Knit and Stitch Club or goodwill and be done with it... look on Craigslist etc. to see if people are looking for yarn for free and donate!

I’ve been flooding God with my worries over a couple of my granddaughters, but not feeling the peace. I needed reminding the HE has this, and I can thank Him for taking care of it, then rest in His peace. 🥰

[@lk1869]

“Leviticus and Numbers” LOL! Same! 😂

[@pattiharrison1211]

Have you ever tried the audio version of the Bible (KJV) read by Alexander Scourby? I have found listening to these readings so much more effective, because he can pronounce every name, every place, every word with such clarity and his voice really brings every sentence to life. It’s free. I think he recorded it in the 1970’s, and it is truly a gift to the world. Another thing that I was reading on Wikipedia was that he recorded this specifically so people to hear for free. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend it. ❤️

[@loriolsen5785]

I love the point about making REST part of our lives. We focus so much on what we need to do. I personally keep going until my body quits each night, which does not ensure that I get enough rest for the next day. Part of my reason for going down the path of minimalism is to reduce my workload so I can rest and enjoy my home and family. Thanks for the reminder that we need to take care of ourselves too!

Years ago, my husband encouraged me to find my "Season of Colors." So I did a session and found out that I look very good in pastel colors and neutral off-white. It helped me so much to never buy anything that didn't look good with my skin, even if it looked good on someone else. It makes so much sense because you can shop more practically. The good Lord made beautiful colors and I enjoy them so much, especially the spring flowers!

Mind blown!! You ladies are wonderful! Sabbath rest available to us any time. What a blessing! No need to wait until Sunday and then collapse.

Love how freeing your definition of minimalism is!

Needed this message this week. Lots of chaos and very little sleep with a toddler and newborn during this season of my life. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Diana is so well spoken. I love to listen to her!

[@nicoleolney3238]

So glad to hear you gals talk about the importance of rest! It’s so true how “altered” we can get when we are tired. Irritable, frustrated, quick to anger and our focus shifts to things that waste our mental energy. I have Narcolepsy so unfortunately I never truly feel rested and rejuvenated, ever. Thankful to others like yourselves for sharing your truths about tiredness. Maybe one day it will help the general population understand a bit what’s it’s like having to live in that kind of mental state every single day. Thank you, love you both. You are always inspiring.❤️

Love your hair, Diana! The new colour really suits you! You both always look great though 😊

That darn Aldi aisle-we’ve all succumb to “that” aisle 😆

[@annayouells2859]

The aisle of shame....

[@heathernunn495]

Love the cleared countertop. I opted to go down to one sink so I could have a custom linen tower that matches the vanity. My Waterpik shares one of the seven shelves with our face cloths and hand towels 👍

[@RosieMontoya]

I'm a new subscriber and love your videos! I'm minimizing my life stuff even more and you inspire! In just this past week Gods been telling me to take that day of rest each week and then here you girls are today with confirmation of that. Loved the prayer at the end too. Many Blessings! 🙏💞

Good Beautiful Morning to you both. Thanks for the video. My feeling about sleep as an older mom, myself, is that we tend to stay up late after the babes go to bed so that we can get things done, and we wake early to get alone time... AND we NATURALLY stay alert throughout the night to listen out for our little ones incase they need us. I'm so guilty of not getting enough sleep. BUT we definitely need to remind ourselves that we need to refuel by sleeping and to make that a priority for ourselves, our children, and our God. Thanks for the reminder!
