Hello Vera. Interestingly, after a lovely lunch with my brother in a BIG fashion mall yesterday, we strolled the mall. We had fun trying on sunglasses and I found a pair of high-brand sunglasses that looked amazing on me. I was not in the market to buy and hence, I just took a photo of me wearing them. When I browsed photos from yesterday’s trip, I compared the photo (unintentionally) with a photo wearing my current glasses, I realized that my current glasses look just as amazing. No need for a new look.

I usually bring food or dessert as gift. This way the recipient would consume it and not add to the clutter. Thanks for the inspiring video, Vera!

It's good to know, I'm not a freak for wanting less stuff in life...my house was broken into and the thief left a message on my mirror "poor people's house" and I'm thankful they won't be back ever again 😉

Great video. Something I heard from YouTuber Abundantly Minimal is to realize that everything we own will eventually become garbage. Before buying something new, we need to think about how we will discard things when they no longer function or we no longer want them. I cringe at the realization of how much garbage I am already responsible for! Yikes!
Thanks again, Vera!

I have been on my minimalist journey for almost 2 years. I have decluttered/ purged a lot of stuff. And I think one of my best tips is to keep a NO BUY list in your phone, post it on your fridge and in your office. I am currently in the process of going through ALL of my personal belongings and making a note of what I dont need any more of. And I do the same for my children's belongs, and household goods.

Im wanting to start this lifestyle.
Im 23 years old and recently divorced after 1 year, lost my job, and car broke down.
I see how expensive and stressful life is. And i want to make a change, have only thing i need, and live life instead of worrying about tomorrow.

I love to window shop, but I leave my money home to ensure I don't make a purchase. I just take emergengy $10 and leavevit in the car. I donate free stuff that I do not really need.

I have the one in, three out rule. It has really helped me cut down buying new things because finding three things to get rid off is really hard after I've decluttered my house

[littlebluefish]

I like to give grocery store gift cards. Everyone has to eat so you know it’s useful and helps out on the budget.

Vera, you’re a breath of fresh air, my dear❤️

YouTube hack: click the top right corner for the "..." menu, playback speed 1.25 - you can watch videos quicker, without it being too fast to keep up.

I usually avoid shopping like the plague now. I make a short list, walk in and make my few purchases and then out the door I go. I keep my list extremely short because I believe that the longer you are in the store...the easier it can be for them to bait you or lure you to make unnecessary purchases. Since I like to walk everywhere, I just walk to the store for present needs and then walk my few items back home. It keeps me minimalistic and healthy fit as well.

The beauty of minimalism just astonishes me everyday. My parents raised me to appreciate the simplicity of not keeping clutter and I am so grateful for that. I only have things that bring value to my life, whether joy or necessity. You make it so much easier to understand this wonderful lifestyle for beginners, and I thank you for that. Stay lovely. ❤️

We have moved a few times in the past 6 years and I actually keep notes on what we have learned from every specific place we have lived in. The places we have lived in have actually taught us a lot. Things we never even knew abou ourselves and our preferences. And that way we know some very specific ideas about the house we want to build one day and how so many little things relate to our personalities. Lovely channel !

I have a tendency to be an emotional and impulsive shopper but my husband and I are now living in a tiny house so Quality over quantity and not impulsive shopping is key along with decluttering. Thanks for sharing Vera. I am literally taking notes so I can see the tips and plan

[wayfarinstranger]

Yes, this is why I now wear dresses, because it is pretty much a complete outfit and I do not need to worry about what to match it with. I recommend picking out 15 favorite complete outfits and hang them in your closet as such. Have 15 outfits for cold weather and 15 outfits for hot weather. Pick 1-2 pairs of shoes for each hot/cold season. 1 lightweight jacket and 1 heavy parka.

I appreciate the simplicity, beautifully video recorded episidodes. Very easy to follow your message and inspiring to watch. Thank you for sharing your insights and for your artistic talent 🌿

[shehnazahmad]

I so agree with you. The shops they do anything to get money out of our pocket.

I unsub to emails.
I stopped paying for box. Because, all mails were bills. Never bern used for friends or family cards. Because, we all use whatssApp.

Thank you Vera ❤
