I always hate to see your tip videos come to an end because you always have so many great tips and I get a glimpse of your beautiful home. 😊

Wow. That vase-turned-candle-holder is brilliant!

Bonus, the most kissed cat in Stockholm. <3 Thanks for the video, Benita.

11:20 When you empty the detergent pouch as much as you can, there is still enough detergent residue remaining for a load of laundry if you carefully fill the pouch halfway with water and massage it to mix. It's helpful to do this when you're over the washer with the lid open in case of a spill. My mom taught me this trick, that manufacturers create packaging that traps some of their product and you have to work to get it, because that's part of the volume by which they price.

Great ideas! I loved the smooth jazz background music and, I always enjoy watching your channel — it’s one of the most elegant ones on YouTube. 😊

Benita, you are the GOAT of living beautifully, simplicity! You are my inspiration. Could you do a video describing how you organize your daily time and next steps with projects? Do you use an analog planner or digital? How about with daily to-do lists? Thank you !

Just when you think you know it all (lol) Benita shows us some new tips & gorgeous ways (that candle…) to do things, while relaxing to some great tunes. As always thank you from Canada. :)

Another use for corks is to cut them up and use as top dressing for your potted plants. Helps to keep curious cats from digging. Great suggestions.

[meowunboxing]

Oh Bonus...I miss you. I am watching this 8mo after release. You were one of my favorite parts of your mama's videos.

The idea of using spent corks as floor protectors and the candle wall light were my favorites. Absolutely loved the video! Looking forward to more! Love from India!

[liberatedturmoil]

Absolutely love the last tip - candle hand-made wall light! But I also observed myself that I do and/or know almost all of the tips from this video by now - how much I've learned from you already. Thank you immensely, dear Benita!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the timed battery candle idea! I have long used these candles for my only concession to Xmas decoration to make my home feel inviting and warm in the winter months. This idea will work well year-round in a windowless hallway instead of electric nightlights. Functional at night, more stylish by day, and not dependent on outlet placement.

So many other thoughts to consider here, like the catgrass solution, giving the next-day outfit a place near the shower, and having a "crafternoon" date with a friend. Such a wonderful way to motivate yourself to sustain the most-healthy-for-you routine.

Loved the idea of cutting the Silver cleaning cloth! 👏 amother classy video! ❤

[otta-le]

I just ADORE your videos, thank you 💙 I love that the way you speak about space, functions, etc, this changes the way to look at objects and environments. Your minimalism is functional and rational, and it is always soothing to see the calm beauty that your approach generates. Also, it was refreshing to "return" to your apartment after "visiting" your summer house. Autumn is coming, and there's a wish to return "inside", to get cozy at home. Thank you very much ❤️

Love the artwork over your bed, so pretty. I learn something new every time you offer these fixes. I especially appreciate the sand paper tips. I'm doing small things around my house, painting the hallway, touching up baseboard and cleaning, sorting my kitchen. If the weather cools down, 96 today, I can do more! Love the updates on the summer house. It looks like it's becoming a welcoming second home.

[annedunn]

I always look forward to these videos and you never disappoint!

Great tip on using spent corks! I live in Northern California’s wine country and we are always at a loss what to do with corks. I’ve seen them used as a sort of decorative mulch in planting beds. It’s fun. Thanks for this new tip!

[FrogeniusW.G.]

I haven't been around for a while, but I just love your style and your home. ❤

[Marzumur]

Great video and nice pace as always! I like the clarity and joy you seem to have at home.

[lindayo]

Your tips and ideas are wonderful. Especially like the wall light inside the hanging vase
