MINIMALIST LIVING | 15 Things I Don't Buy Part 2

MINIMALIST LIVING | 15 Things I Don't Buy Part 2. Hey my friends! A few months ago I made a video called “15 Things I Don’t Buy” and this one got a lot of response from you guys. In today’s video, I share 15 more things that I don’t buy or spend lots of money on, since switching to simple living / minimalism.

Decluttering can be such a great thing, but it also makes us think about the things we DO bring into our home. And, in what areas of our lives we can save money, or stop spending money, in order to have more left over for the things that truly matter to us. Here are 15 more things that I’ve come to be more mindful of since adapting a minimalist lifestyle.

Can’t wait to hear what you guys think and how YOU simplify your life, share your thoughts in the comments!

Lots of love,
♥ Vera

I don't buy beauty products at all 😊 and have gone a whole year without buying clothes/shoes. I also don't buy accessories, books (I use a library), magazines. I pretty much just buy food and petrol, and household utilities. No decorative stuff or furniture. I just keep what I have and don't add to it.

Life's so much easier with less stuff around. Thanks for promoting more conscious living, it's not only good for people but also for the environment!

[dhelgalido]

Thanks for this video...Feels great not buying anything not necessary at all. I'm so inspired being minimaliat... Life gets lighter . God bless

Great video Vera I totally agree with the flowers, such a waste of money for something that will last only a week, I no longer buy different types of cleansers, I pretty much DIY it with vinegar water, baking soda tea tree oil, i used to spend so much money on cleansers and it used to trigger my Asthma on top of that, now since I don't use chemicals my lungs are clear and amazing

As a man, I am totally into minimalism too. I have said to my partner 'no more perfumes as gifts'. I still have three full bottles and really I like to just get down to a day scent and an evening scent. That's enough. I have also stopped buying flower but buy small flowering plants that generally live a lot longer. I think it's nice to give a gift that is alive than something dead.

Hi, Vera, very nice video, I have shared your links with all 3 of my sister in law s, n they have started decluttering, we Indian love to collect so many things in our houses, mostly decoration pieces, statues etc . Minimalism is something new for my sister in law. N they are enjoying it.

We're currently in the process of moving and ran out of paper towels a couple weeks ago. Money is tight and paper towels can be expensive buying repeatedly. Not having them in the house has taught me how dependent we were on them. Now it's small washclothes for everything! Separate ones for cleaning. But atleast when we blow thru them they just end up in the laundry with the other stuff! It's actually refreshing!

I have stopped purchasing new clothes till I have one to discard. That way my cupboard is always organised

[JOGESH]

I regret buying exercise equipment...I don't use it and I like going for long walks instead..And same with my hair accessories...I realised I like my hair open and not tied ...regards on hair accessories..

Nice job! I am enjoying your videos. You get the info across without all the unnecessary hoopla. I'd say that's truly minimalist. I also love the beautiful scenes that you add into the message. Thanks.

[claireedghill]

Perfect! My spouse and a I live this way also. Besides my house is a lot easier to keep clean. All these tips are totally us. We keep things very simple. I will only spend a little more money on skincare, which is important to me. I don't wear much makeup. Amazing how much we have saved. Thank you! Excellent!

[anniegabriel]

Hey, great video! I'm new to the world of minimalism and while watching your video I started listing things I no longer buy and since you asked for us to share, here it goes: I no longer buy paper towels, cleaning supplies (I make my own at home with a few simple ingredients), bottled water and no longer pay for cable. That's all I can remember right now. Thank you!

[shehnazahmad]

I love all your videos incl older ones❤

[fredswartley]

I don't buy these things either. I use vinegar to clean my whole apartment, and even for laundry. It works great!

[themeadowsosteopathclinic-]

I no longer buy bin bags! The bathroom one only has dry material in it and I make an origami paper bag from newspaper for the kitchen bin... Or go without and just wash it out. X
Love the point about data, I might look at my plan and check what I use!

[georgiannmaloney]

Bed stuff. I used to have lots of pretty pillows and comforters for my bed. Not anymore. Just a nice white set of sheets and fuzzy blankets. Many different colors to go with bedroom. Easy to launder. Easy and cozy 😊

[brendawhitenett]

Hi, I just found your channel today and I'm enjoying it. I also don't buy paper towels or bottled drinks. The sticks in the bottle home scenting device is called a reed defuser, I don't buy those any more either. Instead, I run lemon and orange peels down the garbage disposal when I have them and they scent my kitchen nicely.

[carolineromay]

I’m so amazed .. you lift up my .. daily living.. thanks!!

[thanujaz]

Love this Vera - we're similar in most ways here except for flowers and some extra kitchen appliances. I'd love to use more baking soda and vinegar for cleaning myself ❤️
