My thoughts. Example: If you own 4 plates and 6 cups then make them nice. Why not? In the end you still have 4 plates and 6 cups but they are nice. The only difference is they will be esthetically pleasing. There is nothing wrong with owning nice things. You can still be a minimalist. A minimalist with nice things.

But it's against minimalist mindset to replace a functional piece with a more pleasing one just because. Certainly once a plate breaks a nicer one, or better quality one can be bought to replace it 😊 Sadly many of the minimalist youtubers I see just replace their functional tupperware with mason jars etc. for the aesthetic alone and create more unnecessary trash in the process

Very wise advice. Here's a good piece of old-school advice that still works. It came from Amy Vanderbilt, who wrote an etiquette book many years ago. Her advice about fashion was to find a style that suits you and then to simply replace pieces as they wear out. It's what I do, and it has worked well for me for many years -- well, since the old school days. LOL

I've been living a minimalist lifestyle for nearly30 years now - I'll be 74 in a couple of months. I built my own tiny house back in 2014, the entire inside is finished off in native yellow poplar wood cut and milled less than a mile from where I'm located. The tiny house is not wired for electricity, I use kerosene lamps and small solar lights, I heat and cook with a woodstove, I use a non-flush composting toilet, I use two of the garden pump-up sprayers for my pressurized water (a stainless steel one for doing dishes and a plastic on for washing hands and taking a shower). I haven't owned a motor vehicle since 1998, I own three mountain bikes and a recumbent trike that I built back in 2005. I have a large raised-bed garden and raise quail. I only spend approximately $300 per month, I do not have any bills everything I have is paid for. I wouldn't ever consider going back to the rat race, consumer driven lifestyle that I used to be a part of.

You are so sweet and such a breath of fresh air. You inspire me to be more thoughtful about what I actually need as opposed to what I think I want. Thank you so much for sharing with us! ♥

One thing saddens me however, the lack of music in your life! Music is not only for entertainment. It can be inspirational and uplifting as well as calming and soothing, especially if you sometimes feel overwhelmed by things as you mentioned. You didn't mention if your little treasure Agatha doesn't have access to music, but it would be heartbreaking if that were the case! Being minimalist shouldn't mean that you cannot access the beauty that is around us in the world and music is up there with some of the more beautiful things.

@@BeeBee-gi2zr Like she said do what you want but she does not need to be like you. How do you know she does not have music for her daughter. Maybe she sings to her instead.

I recently was going through sentimental childhood type stuff and came across a heavy stack of like 20 magazines and after ripping out my name on quiz pages and having a quick trip down memory lane at which i was mostly horrified at the sort of materialistic self obsessed sexist nonsense inside the magazines i realised i was happy i kept them so i could see and feel how much id changed from when i was 16 and had genuinely loved and enjoyed that rubbish! Poor teenage me im glad that awful stuff didnt rub off on me and im even more glad that ive changed so much that i can more than happily run to the bin and gleefully watch them go inside the icky bin where they belong. 😂 if i ever have a daughter or even son theyre not going anywhere near such horrible media at the very least until i teach them how to recognise the manipulative degrading marketing and when theyre already sure and confident in themselves teenagers especially shouldnt be seeing any of that toxic stuff. My mother is the type who reads magazines herself so she had no issues with me reading them i wish she had but at that age i probably wouldnt have listened anyway! Haha

I think everyone had to go through a period of stupid teenage magazines to become mature and wise😂 Don’t even want to remember these🙈 But the interesting thing is that Ive been buying very good quality magazines for the last couple years so I’ve been talking more about them. Something like Kinfolk style. And It was quite sad for me to realize that I don’t really read them till the end and never go through them again😒

Recycling them would be good.

Your perspective is so refreshing! I'm so glad I found your channel - subscribed!

I just found your channel. It really hit me...I have things I don’t use and in my way. You inspired me to let things go. You have a beautiful family.

Bringing back special food on trips is such a good idea!

@@VictoriaTerekhina And now more than 55 000 subscribers! WOW! You`re my INSPIRATION. I`m going to start my second channel and it`s all thanks to YOU! THANK YOU!!!

I just stumbled across your channel, it is refreshing to see humble content! I have become minimalist myself and also enjoy second-hand stores. One of the most popular stores here in the States is Goodwill. It is satisfying knowing I (the consumer) don't spend more for the fancy, eye-appealing decor, ambiance! You have a sweet little family...continue to enjoy life's simple pleasures and counting your blessings with a cup of tea!

I just wanted to say...I love you and your channel!!

Your English is outstanding. I love your videos and especially enjoy seeing your family. Keep up the great work.

You already have 4500 subscribers. Congratulations!

I am VERY interested in both Russia AND minimalism. You post what ever you feel like posting, so far every video I have seen has been interesting.

Love second hand stuff! I started buying in second hand shops 10 years ago, when I was backpacking in Australia, and I totally understand the joy of finding something useful and unique 😃

I'm slowly getting rid of almost all home decor, my home decor is live plant now. :) It's my new hobby now. I collect houseplants.

Love the content and your vibe ! Keep sharing amazing content with such a great attitude! Kiss from Paris !

I'm so not a minimalist lol. If I want it, I buy it XD. But it's interesting to see some people be minimalist!
