Take back expired meds to a pharmacy so they don’t end up in our water. Take batteries and technology to an eco center. Decorative pillows can get a new cover to change our decor. I love your book idea!

I agree with you about the wardrobe. I used to believe the same for books until the time I noticed some of my old books had book mites. That was disturbing. After that I have no problem throwing away and giving away books 📚

I have the same.. On both books and some of my wardrobe. But also my music instruments and my cars.. They will never go. ;)

Dull knifes can be sharpened again if it good quality knife. And canned food can be good after expiration date. It depends how it was stored. If lid is popped up it is bad even if not expired yet.

Less is more. I got rid of so many unnecessary things in my whole house after watching your video..And the result? I feel more productive and I have a much healthier environment. Thanks, Erika!!

I spent the whole Sunday afternoon cleaning and decluttering my apartment. I found there are many makeup or other items no longer spark my joy but they have taken up my space for years. I finally throw them away or intentionally use them to give them one last chance. I feel much happier and mentally fresh to start everything again.

Dates on canned foods aren't actually expiration dates, they are best by dates. When it comes to best by dates, you're not gonna get sick from consuming the item. It may not taste its best but you don't actually have to throw it out. However, if the can is damaged, disregard the best by date and throw it out. Also, you can resharpen dull knives - rather wasteful to just throw them out.

It is so therapeutic to declutter and minimalize. Great video.

I’m playing the 30 day minimalism game and it’s been so fun!

I use my bluray player almost every day. Checking out DVDs and blurays from the library for free is cheaper than paying for multiple streaming services to watch stuff. And expired teabags can be brewed and used as a cleaner for wood floors.

You're a breath of fresh air, all these youtubers saying "minimalism is dead" because their channels aren't cool no more need to take note

Can't wait to declutter as I will be backpacking all of 2022! Thanks for the ideas

Great tips for sure. It’s so satisfying eliminating unnecessary things at home.

Great advice I spent all day yesterday doing some of your tips in my apartment. Appreciate the content

For the knife people, I personally recommend sharpening it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one. You can easily sharpen your knife with a mug. You don't even need to have a sharpener.

Yes, throwing things you can repair easily and buying new ones is not minimalistic.

How do you sharpen a knife with a mug?

Thank you Erika!! I used to be a minimalist... I plan to go back to that now because of your video!! Thank you!!! 💕💕💕

I am glad to discover your channel. It changed my life little by litter into better. Thank you.

This video gave me the jumpstart to clean out the closet I was procrastinating! Thank you!

Glad you are back! I missed you! Erika ..I have old things that I have thrown out! Recently I spent hours throwing away old stuff & recycle plastics & metal things! ..anthony .Gary, in. You Rock always! You are so nice! That is hard to find with people these days!

We sold our home of nearly 20 years and went through this filtering process. It felt so good to donate/sell/toss things that we’d simply stored because we could. Now we rent. This is an intentional plan to retire early. While we are glad of the things we’ve offloaded, there is still so much more to go. Thank you Erika for the inspiration and great advice!

My grandmother had stuff in her attic from 60 years ago. She never threw anything away.

I did about 60% of this stuff... Moving towards a minimalist lifestyle feels great 👍

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you not only for the information that you are providing but the way in which you're providing it. 50 years old my life money, financial planning and fiscal health always seem like a language and puzzle I just couldn't penetrate. You are that rarest of commodities and I feel like I just can have that secure pot of silver working for me...

Thanks for sharing your tips!! I’m not a minimalist but I definitely need help decluttering and there’s at least a few key things in here I need to revisit (eg, souvenirs, clothing, and cards!)

Recognizing that minimalism is one the keys to long-term income. Great video, Erika!

Why don't you sharpenen your dull knifes instead of throwing them away. This seems wasteful which would be counterproductive.

Thank you!! I need this!!!

The tip about photographing your knick-knacks was very valuable to me! Thanks, Erika!

Thanks for the great advice, am in the process of decluttering now & there were a couple of things in this video that I had not thought of doing. Really useful...thanks. 😊

I'm having an existential crisis. Do other people say "cup-board" or "cubberd"? I'm definitely the second one and now I'm questioning everything

ERIKA!! Love the new video ❤ YOU ALWAYS INSPIRE ME TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE ❤ Btw, I arrived in OKINAWA and URUMA LAST NIGHT:) Going snorkeling today, haha

This is the best!

I am doing all of this all the time. And I use the 12-month rule too :) I even buy the same shoes and jeans now. If I like it, I just buy one or two more, so I don't have to spend time looking for new clothing. And I have a digital list of clothing that I like, with links where to buy it again. Saves soooo much time. My friend was watching me doing it and now he starts doing the same thing. And he is so happy about it. :) But thank you for the video. It was nice to know other people, doing the same thing. :)

Excellent advise

Difenitely an important reminders 👍thanks

when you have a dull knife or scissor, sharpen it. there are small devices to use - easily, to sharpen.

Recently gutted my wardrobe and everything is still sitting in bags to go on eBay, but I was honest with myself about what I was and wasn't wearing, and to be honest, I can't even remember what's in those bags & don't miss the clothes. I should probably get rid of my Blu-rays too because I don't think I've touched them in 2-3 years and I'm also guilty of holding onto cards......I definitely need to declutter my life more. Thanks for the boost Erika!

DONATE what is useable.

I love this, i’ve been a minimalist most of my life because it’s just less clutter physically and mentally. Hope my future wife one day has the same mindset because I hate so much clutter in the house lolol

Maybe not much throw away as more recycle, rehome, give away, sell, properly dispose, etc

Just sharpen your knives with the knife sharpener wand

I’m in love with this girl

Shot Glasses...were my thing too...I have that same Eifle Tower statue...

You are so smart I wish my children were look like you .

Some expiration dates are just non sense. It is just marketing to convince the consumers to buy more.

👍👍👍 awesome

Honestly a convertible porsche will always bring fun on a drive

LOL, my friend sends me his unused technology! I have two small boxes with cables and odds and ends.

When I travel, I take lots of pics, then buy magnets as souvenirs. They don't take up space and look fun!

Was this directed at me personally?!? Lol

Am I the only one that continues to use souvenir items afterwards, and remembers the trips that they come from?

overwhelming!

I’ve never heard anybody call it a cup board before :)
