Minimalist pro tip: Keep as much clothing as you need! Keep as much makeup as you want! Basically just get rid of things you don't appreciate :)

The Minimalists actually _said_ to keep the things you appreciate. She clearly loves clothing and makeup, so she should have stripped down her wardrobe a bit less and kept at least a full set of everyday makeup. Think of it in the same way as the journals. She put away most of them but kept the one she wanted to use. If she's not comfortable not wearing makeup then don't do it. Minimalist doesn't make you go commando either!

This is unfair to minimalist! Minimalism is about living a clean clutter free lifestyle not being a slob and wearing dirty clothes. It's not about living a poor lifestyle either It's about only having the nice things you actually use.

I don't really get your point. She was advised to keep only what was essential to her and so she decided not to use makeup, because there were other items she found more essential. Also, as the minimalists said this is something that is constantly changing, so maybe, had she continued to follow a minimalist lifestyle, then she would have felt the need to start using some essential makeup products.

The biggest mistake was putting away all the makeup "because it's not essential" How is it not if you're USING IT daily? You're not supposed to get rid of everything, just the stuff you don't actually use, like with the journals. There was no reason to get rid of the makeup.

I think that flaw in the original plan came up because the two minimalists she initially spoke to were guys, who might see makeup as 'totally frivolous and non-essential', something which they imparted to her during the interview, but she realized when talking to the lady at the end that it wasn't the case. Just because we use something every day doesn't necessarily make it 'essential' to our lives, but the way the woman at the end phrased it, about only having things she appreciated/loved, seems to make a lot more sense for female minimalists than the way the two male minimalists probably phrased things to her when she started

Minimalism only has two rules. 1. Does it serve a purpose. 2. Does it bring you joy (Do you love it)? You don't have to throw away all of your makeup. Keep the necessities and what you love. Setting strict guidelines for yourself is setting yourself up for failure before you even begin.

you got this all wrong. minnimalism is not about owning the least amount of stuff (although it does usally end up that way) but keeping what you need. yes you obviously need a laptop and a stove and pair of shoes. but that doesnt mean you cant keep stuff you enjoy. if you want to be a minnimalist and own 20 purses that it totally okay as long as you put them to good use and value them. minnimalism is not keeping that dress you havent worn in a year or keeping old wrapping papper in the off chance youll need to wrap something that size. minnimalism is keeping ONLY what you need to live a healthy happy life. and if 20 purses makes you happy go for it

the point of minimalism isn't to get rid of everything... just things that you don't use or appreciate. You can keep your clothes or your make up you just should donate the unnecessary things and also think carefully before you buy something.

I've always lived like that without giving it much of a thought, I just get an all purpose shampoo, deodorant and toothpaste for cleaning up but I've never thought about it as being minimalist, more like I was just that lazy. I enjoy being able to be lazy, I enjoy the relaxation it lets me experience, and therefore it is the reason I've always prefered to optimalize my life that way. I honestly don't think every people can live like that.

Yes. Minimalism is a privilege thing. People who are poor can't just get rid of things because they think they won't use them in the next three months and haven't used them for the previous three months. Minimalism is another way for people to delineate between classes. When poor people had nothing, opulence and excess were in fashion. Now that poor people have access to a lot of material items, being able to live with very little is what wealthy people do.

I disagree, i grew up poor and am still fairly poor (being a student) but I find the minimalist mentality very helpful to my life. I have never had a hard time letting go of things I think that is more of a personal issue, minimalism can work very well for those who struggle financially as it encourages focusing on neccesity and things that impact your life. Plus the great thing about the internet is that things you don't need can be sold which can be very helpful if you're struggling financially.

You don't have to be "privileged" to get rid of some stuff.... Anyone can try to be a minimalist. You don't have to throw away everything. If you have more clothes than you wear, which a lot of people do, You can sell the items. You're not supposed to get rid of things you use all the time. Just "extra" stuff you don't love. Rich people hoard stuff too. If you're poor & sell items you don't need anymore, then you will end up with more money. Some stuff people own for no reason. If it's in your home you should really *love* it, Or need it because its functional.

I grew up with a hoarder mother and so I hate hoarding, but my husband grew up very, very poor. Because of this he has trouble letting go of things. At least he is aware of it and we are actively working on it. People might disagree but I do feel like it is very hard to be a minimalist if you are poor. There are things that I don't use for years, and then one day find a use for them. If I apply minimalism, and I earn a decent salary, I do not need to store items for in case I might use them one day, but can instead buy them as needed. A good example of this is cloth/material. I enjoy making clothes and hoarded heaps of extra cloth for years, only getting rid of most of it now that I am an adult and earn enough money to buy material as I need it. Someone who won't be able to afford that, will regret giving it away when they have a need for it after a year or two (which happens all the time, especially with making clothes.)

"organised hoarding" total truth right there.

Don't limit yourself to 2 pairs of underwear and 1 jumper because your a "minimalist" no that's not what this is about.

Weird interpretation of minimalism. Like the first guy said, it's not deprivation.

I really, really hope to start living this lifestyle. Growing up, I watched my parents collect tons of "stuff" that just sat on shelves or in closets or in the basement. Unused and totally pointless. When I got my own place, I kept it very simple and minimal; just some furniture, my clothes, a few personal touches like books or posters. I really want to get back to that. I hate being in a cluttered space, I crave bright, open, airy rooms! I would much rather *do* things than *have* things.

A lot of people criticize minimalism because they think it means they have to get rid of all their make up or all of their artwork or games, which is not necessarily the case. If it brings you joy, it is arguably serving a purpose and is essential *to you*. The point is to get rid of the things that are not essential *to you* like that stack of dvds you may not have touched in ten years or that gift someone got you that just sits on a shelf in the closet, or all those clothes that you don't wear anymore. Extreme minimalism is getting rid of practically everything and it's very commendable but there are way less extreme methods that are still both practical and beneficial.

"If you haven't used something for 90 days and not planning to using it in the next 90 days... probably get rid of it." So she got rid of her makeup and pants which she uses every day, not sure if she was listening.

The point is if it’s not a complete necessity (makeup is more of a luxury), you don’t have to keep it. She was practicing a very extreme type of minimalism that only keeps items that serve as a necessity in her life. The 90 rule I feel is more relevant when you want to declutter but don’t know what to get rid of, and obviously you don’t have to follow that one rule in order to declutter.

I wont take up minimalism but really I changed my mind about what to keep and what not to... So thank you for this video

I work in storage, and it's probably the worst investment anybody can ever make. Most people pay to move stuff in and by the time they actually vacate the unit, they paid more in rent than what the stuff in the unit is worth. Definately time and money saving to just minimize the amount of stuff you have.

Jack Hemsworth That's a pretty common misconception, but it's just not that simple. It's not how much you put on your face, it's the composition and quality of what you put on your face. She might regularly get a pimple or two at certain points in her cycle, regardless of what products she does or doesn't use. And for some people, if they 'let their skin breathe' as you suggested, they'd be covered in really nasty cysts within 2 days. Also, she got the pimple after she cut all the skin care out, not before. So yeah, common idea but not really an accurate one.

PaulMike19 Same. "This shirt should last a week"

This video came out in July of 2017 and I am writing this comment in July of 2020. I am not writing this comment because I just now found this video, but because even after three years I still think about this video. I am the opposite of a minimalist and I will never be a minimalist. However, this video showed me the benefits of minimalism and gave me a new perspective on life. Sky Cowans helped me see that if something is not adding value to my life, I might not need it or even want it. I like how she shows that minimalism is different for everyone. I got to see someone who simplified their morning routine by getting rid of things that are not essential. Minimalism isn’t about wearing no make-up. However, by getting rid of all of it for one week, Sky showed that not having an excess amount of anything will help simplify your life. She also showed that having less stuff can be refreshing and I realized that having a lot of stuff can be overwhelming for me. After I watched her meet Jim, I had to ask myself if my possessions were getting in the way of experiencing life. Essentially, was I living life intentionally? If I am being honest, my stuff does get in the way, but I am happy to say that I have less stuff than I did three years ago. Plus, I think more about what I will regret more… not watching another movie or not spending time with my family? When she needed to do laundry earlier than she planned, it reminded me how minimalism is different for everyone because no two people have the same lifestyle. When she went on the date without makeup, it showed me that if something makes you feel better about yourself then it could be important to you, AND THAT’S OKAY! While some minimalists are extreme, you don’t have to be. You can have some minimalist habits without being completely minimalist. If you like picking out outfits to wear and that makes you happy, then those clothes are adding to your life. Melanie showed that as long as you are intentional about the items you own, you’re moving in the right direction. You have to make it your own! Sky is right when she says there is no “right” way to live a minimalist lifestyle. Thanks for this video and for helping to change my perspective!

This is one of my favorite viedos I watch it all the time, just to remind myself that how and why I'm trying to minimize my stuff

I am curious if she went on a date with Jim the man living in his van. I think she knew him before... who does that. "Yeah, so I saw a guy living out of his van and he offered to take me for a ride around the block"..... girl. Nope.

You look beautiful without makeup and it seems your hair did itself. I've been a minimalist for about 8 years now. My family moved a lot, so I can had to pack and unpack every time. Kept seeing things I packed that were so unimportant I didn't bother to unlock them. We originally left our home state to go to NC, leaving everything but what could fit in a car in a storage in VA. I had two suitcases, that's it, nothing else. 7 months later someone delivered​ what we left in VA. Stuff I didn't need for the last 7 months. 4 years later my family moved back to VA and left most of what we had in NC in a storage shed. 1 year and 6 months later we brought all of our stuff from NC and moved in to a new place in VA. I went through my stuff, most of it I didn't want anymore or couldn't fit. The storage unit costed US WAY MORE than if we had just put that money to replacing it all. Plus I didn't want to wear what I was wearing years ago, could have a new wardrobe. Storage units are only good if you use it for a month or so. Otherwise​, just let the stuff go.

Amazing video, thank you, love from Mexico 💖

Everything can be tried for a week or less.. That how you learned if you liked a sport or not; the cloth you wear were worn about 2-3 minutes before you made a choice and this work for everything in life. In fact, what you said sound like: "You need to eat only cereals for at least 2 years to know how it feel like to eat only cereals" "You need to live a few lifespan to know what is living" "You need to have at least 100 penis inside your body for at least 10 hours to know what a penis feel's like" "You need to live a life of materialist to know how it is" All those statements are just as untrue as yours. You can get out of the city and go for camping for 2-3 days and you will understand nature and minimalist... This is how even you make all your choices.. You try something for a short delay and decide what you do with that situation.

@@VirginMary1.0 I am getting your point that you can try everything. But basically, you can not compare minimalism to eating only cereal for 2 weeks or so. Minimalism in fact is more than a lifestyle or a habit: it's like a philosophy. Getting to a point where you only own the things you feel are necessary for you takes a lot of time and effort. It is not just about decluttering once and giving everything away you want. It is about consciously going through your whole life and trying to get rid of everything that is overloading or stressing out for you. Minimalism is a process. It takes one years and years to downsize their belongings and in the end be happy with the few things they own.

Modified Miss I don't think she paid any attention to The Minimalists. If she would feel better with makeup on she should wear makeup. Just not own hundreds of pieces of makeup that she doesn't use or care for. Minimalism is about owning items that add value.

Two things: (1) I don't think minimalism is something you can do "wrong". She tried one more strict approach, but realized and stated at the end that that's not necessarily the ONLY and RIGHT way. (2) One thing we that are experimenting with minimalism need to discuss is the waste we produce by donating so many clothing items. I did the "purge" too in the beginning only to find out that all that donated clothing rarely makes it into the hands of someone in need. So while we are "decluttering" our own spaces we could be cluttering and polluting someone else's. Worth a thought.

Donations usually go to those who need those items so if they don't get it from someone else, they might get it brand new. It's still a win in my opinion.

I lived on a boat for a few years so I can relate. It was such a weird thing to walk into a mall and not need anything... You have nooo room so you prioritize your favourite and most necessary stuff. Like living in the van.

I decluttered my wardrobe last year and since then I feel like I understand my personal style more. I still have a long way to go before reducing what I have to the necessary though 😁

I do live like a minimalist but that's probably cos I'm poor🤔

Vanilla Unicorn Just because you're poor doesn't mean you don't have any electronics or expensive items, it just means that you don't have a lot of them. A lot of poor people save up to buy items like phones, laptops, and TVs. Sincerely, A poor person

The internet is very accessible these days. yeah if you're homeless or in some rural undeveloped area, you'll have trouble accessing it, but you can be poor and have a house and a free library card or find free public wifi to watch KZread or a cheap data plan. There's different levels of poor.

rhea vania I know that some poor people can hoard too, and my comment wasn't even about that, I was referring to my ways of living. 🙂

You can use makeup and be a minimalist! Just don't over clutter and and try to get the necessities

Yea just like one concealer, one foundation, one mascara and a lip product. I would say that is it.

I think downsizing is really an evolution vs. a 'jump in both feet' journey. I have gone from a 1400 sq ft home by myself to a 650 sq ft apartment. I got rid of more than half of my stuff. What was a service for 8 is now a service for 4. Two of every pot/pan and kitchen gadget is now one of each thing I use. Mr. Coffee that is 25 yrs old and still works. One travel mug. 4 coffee mugs for me and company. Bristro table vs dining table with 4 leafs and 8 chairs. It's really more about being realistic about your life vs what you think life should be. I host one big event each year at my place. It's fun and it's crowded, but we do it and it's about the experience. Set a realistic expectation and you'll be amazed at how much stuff just falls away.
