Things I Only Own One Of | Minimalist living

As a minimalist, I understand that there are no strict rules to this lifestyle, so I urge you not to pause this video and begin tallying the number of possessions you own. Minimalism encompasses much more than just owning fewer items. However, I do want to take a moment to explain why I choose to own less on certain items.

I'm not a minimalist, but I am interested in living less of a consumerist lifestyle. This is pretty much how I plan on starting... Using up everything I own and then keeping only one of things instead of having duplicates. 👍🏾

DONT EVER FIX SOMETHING THAT ISNT BROKEN. This is my favorite thing to live by, don’t keep trying new products if you know the ones that work. Dont purchase things to replace that don’t need replacing if they do their job. This alone can save you mental strain and so much money! Love you Kyra!

Hi Kyra, I’m a 53 year old black women I have been following you since your minimalist journey. I have learned so much from you. I haven’t listened to your videos for a few years but I want to say I’m so proud of you. You make the best out of what you have.

It's great seeing others are waking up from the overcosumerism nightmare and realizing minimalistic life is the life to live.

So here's the thing. I believe like you say minimalism is not about how much you own, but things that add value to your for me, sometimes it is about how much of something. I live in a very small cottage style home, v about 700 square feet. My partner and I share this home. I can't have alot of furniture because b there just is not enough space. I have to be so careful what I bring into my home, even if I feel like it adds value to my life, my home quickly looks cluttered. I'm realizing less is more not only from a minimalist standpoint, but also to keep a small home looking filled up, cluttered and stuffy

Great list of items! I've also only got 1 shampoo and conditioner! Same with all of my skincare. Like you said, it expires! What I've found is how long these things last. I only need to replace my moisturizer two or three times a year. A little more often with shampoo. Thanks for sharing.

The wired headphones are so underrated. The mic is fantastic!

Your satin pillow case is also a great addition to your hair care system.

You are so beautiful!!!

I think you're doing the right thing. In Ukraine, many people drive cars that are 30, 40, 50 years old because they cannot afford to buy another one. It shocks me that Americans treat cars like socks. This is such a waste of money and resources!!! A year ago, I also embarked on the path of minimalism and started my first no-buy year (it ends on August 1, 2024). Last year, I spent $500 (over 20, 000 UAH) on hair care products (some of them were very expensive for me) because I decided to stop straightening my hair and grow it. My hair was very dry and frizzy. And so, in an attempt to do something with it (because I went to work every day) without straightening it, I bought about 70 hair products in 3-4 months: shampoos, masks, balms, creams, oils, gels... So I didn't buy anything for a year, I also wash my hair twice a week, and managed to use about 17 products during that time. In general, I decided to start the second no-buy year right away on August 1, when my first one ends. Thanks to this, I saved money, used a lot of existing products, read a lot of books, and decluttered a lot of clothes and other things.

This one might be a little odd…I only own one pen!
When I started university 10 years ago I bought an expensive pen (it also has a pencil) and I just buy refills..usually 2-3 refills each year!

This year I’m getting through everything I have to avoid getting things I don’t need 😊 great video 💚

I went to the thrift store and bought sports bras as I went down in sizes. So helpful to try them on and do the actual jump test in the change room

[buidieulinh]

Same as you, I only have and need one phone case, one lip balm, one lipstick, one set of shampoo and conditioner, one sunscreen which is organic and vegan ^^ I do agree with you as a minimalist. Thank you for your meaningful videos.

[Neverknewitall]

Speaking to a reduction: best decision I ever made for myself, my self esteem, my body, and my confidence. I highly recommend!
