Tiny minimalist lifestyle adjustments that improved my life
I think it’s natural to want to take things to the extreme to see big changes in our lives. But in my experience, it’s been the tiny and subtle adjustments in my lifestyle that made the biggest difference in achieving a minimalist life. I hope you enjoy the video :)
By the way, happy holidays to every single one of you!
I hope you were able to spend quality time with your loved ones.
I am grateful for everything that happened in 2022 and excited to see what 2023 will bring. Take care and stay warm guys ❤️ big hugs

Thank you! I moved from my country Peru to the US 3 years ago and without realizing I became what I most hated, a materialistic shopping addicted person 😔. I have boxes of things I don’t need and spent SO much money in them. I could never save money because I spent it and make up and clothes. I feel so guilty right now, but I’m trying to change and I will thanks to you ❤

In my opinion, your video and insights show the most honest and logical way of living a minimal and peaceful life. It has been unsuccessful for me trying this lifestyle before but I gained a deeper understanding of it now. Thank you for sharing these.

This is why the winter season is so good! I love decluttering and having the cold weather & longer nights as an excuse to stay inside and focus on whats important. Allowing myself to approach what no longer serves purpose in my life 🧡
This is the BEST video I have ever watched about minimalism. You are living a life of charm and beauty. The most impressive part of it is that you made it happen for yourself. Phenomenal!
I couldn’t agree more , yes we have to steer away from short term gratification things and focus instead about our education relationships and learning new skill, for me I started being minimalist two years ago and I am extremely satisfied and I am investing on myself to learn English language. Everyone should work on themselves to thrive.thanks malama merry Christmas

It’s so true that we forget that we can alter our life to make it look and feel the way we want it too or at least closer to the life we want it to be and that’s something I definitely want to focus on next year so thank you! ❤ love this little reminder to live life a little fuller
And this is why I love you and your channel Sophie - you're real and create content with depth and meaning. This is in stark contrast to all the superficial and trivial things you see on YT and social media. Thank you for all the inspiration! Hope you have a wonderful 2023 ♥
What a beautiful reminder to review whats important. You are living a dream life for me - since I am still in the routine of working the 9-5.. altho I did change it to work from home permanently and I am super grateful for that. I visited Portugal in November and watching this video brought back so many memories of that beautiful trip. One profound takeaway - which I will remember is to review my purchase before I make it.. by asking myself is this the life I want to be living. Thank you for this impactful video. Much appreciated.
I love the scenes of Portugal, the market in Lisbon, Obidos. I miss the "bacalao" and the smell of "castañas" on a cold winter night. Thanks for taking me back!
I find your content so relaxing thanks for sharing❤. The thing is I am the complete opposite of a minimalist I am a shabby chic maximalist when it comes to my decor. My home is full of treasures that create happy memories and a warm cosy space. I could never not have a Christmas tree but then again I had 14 Christmas trees😅. My home still has space and feels light and bright even though it's full of many treasures and is small. I find joy in sourcing pieces of pretty decor that bring joy to my life but I don't spend much money doing so. We also have a caravan called Dolly and a self build camper my husband did called Bluebell so we love traveling in those to bring joy to our souls. I also live by the beach so don't have far to go to relax and unwind. I guess everyone is different and that's what makes our world so interesting. Xx
Just what I needed! I never owned a Christmas tree since I live alone, travel often and don't want extra stuff... I rather enjoy seeing trees in nature. I felt a little sad seeing everyone with Christmas decorations on social media and felt lonely since I'm not living in Hawaii anymore I'm far from family and friends. So thank you for this! (I went to Portugal in September and loved it, I had my first meal at Time Out!) Happy 2022 2023!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. And boy, this one hits home...BIG TIME! Thank you for sharing this with us. Your calm demeanor and down to earth explanations on minimalism are inviting and easy to understand why for me, this is the way I want to be going...slowly but surely. When I look at everything in front of me...I feel like David (me) and Goliath (everything around and in me! LOL) however, as you mentioned, 1 thing at a time. At 61 years young, I have been going through a very devastating time in my life the last 6 months; however I know that if I can be patient with myself and not be in a rush, seeing what is beneficial for me and my life, I will be A-OK. Thank you again for these important adjustments you have shared with us. They truly are on point 🥰 To you and your husband and beautiful fur babies, happy happy new year! 🌟🌟
I'm so grateful that I got to discover your channel last year. You're one of the reasons why I love minimalism sooo much. Thank you, Sophie! ❤️
Every time you post a video I can feel myself relax and it helps me get myself together! I always find that during the holidays and after Christmas is when my decluttering is at an all time high and needs to be done asap (that'll be tomorrows job!) and your videos always inspire and motivate me to get started and to slow down, and realize what's important like the small things. Thank you
Happy New Year Sophie ! 🥰 Thank you for sharing your experience. It wasn't adopting minimalism, but when I start something new I tend to get really anxious out of hurry ! Hearing your story gives me confidence that small changes I make is enough : ) Your videos are so soothing ❤
I agree adjustments happen a little at a time. Nothing can be rushed. I’ve started decluttering a little and it helps to clear up space. You make a difference in my life and I appreciate it. Have a Happy New Year and may it be a wonderful year for you!
Honestly watching these videos is refreshing...thank you Sophie
Hi Malamalife, thank you for creating so many excellent videos. I started watching your videos since May 2022, and watched all of your other videos since then. They’re so meaningful, and have influenced me to pursue a slow, minimal & intentional living, and remind me to love myself more. Living in the moment is always easier said than done, but your videos give me motivation to execute it and live my life better. Thank you!!! It’s end of the year, wish you all the best and look forward to more inspiring videos from you in 2023!! ✨😇
Yayyyy I'm so happy to have you in this world. You bring so much peace in my chaotic life. I've learned and applied from so much that you've shared with us and I lead a healthier life now. Thaankyouuu. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year Soph💕☃️

Thank you for all those videos ! I think I'm going through the most difficult time of my life and you're helping me a lot !! 🥰
Hi, my family of 3 shifted to the beautiful coastal state of Goa in India from a fast paced big city and seeing so many christmas trees I too wanted to buy one but refrained...i thought why not admire all the wonderful trees here on display everywhere instead of buying one. Goa was a Portuguese colony till 1962...
I would like to explain the christmas tree tradition. In cold countrys (snow, rain, cold wind) people got lung infections in winter. The tree has ethericsl oil that heals that and helps with the bad air in the home. like coughin the viruses out or the smoke from the fire place made the air dry and full of viruses. The tree helped people to breath basically. It cleaned the air in the sheds.

Thank you for sharing this! When we think about changing habits, we often think about doing the most drastic measure to get to success quicker, but the reality is that change is a process. At times we forget that this is the beautiful part of change.... to be present in the process.
So much fun watching you enjoy life in Portugal! Hope you had a great holiday season, and wishing you a Happy New Year!
I am so enjoying your calming voice. I have watched so many of your videos as inspiration to continue on my minimalist journey. We are about to make a big move within the country we currently live and I am editing everything again. It feels so freeing to have less. Thank you so much for these lovely, peaceful videos.
Thanks for sharing your time. I’ve been enjoying your videos and I’m appreciating your clarity on your journey. I’ve picked up some valuable tools to help me with my journey 🧞♀️💕. Thank you 🙏🏾
Simply beautiful, clean, neat, clutter free kitchen. Well done
Corno manso blessings to your new life experiences in Portugal, for that is the way of the meek horn. Good luck to you Sophia! 💖
I love your videos. They provide me a moment of calm that I follow with my own moments of self-reflection. I really resonated with the comment about enjoying something without having to own it. That is my resolution for this year. I want to learn to appreciate things without that need to take it home, where it will be mixed with my other stuff and the beauty of it will be dimmed by all the other things around it.
Hi, Youre voice is so nice and calm(ing). I love to listen to you and you are a great inspiration. Thank you for charing your toughts and pieces of your live.
Happy New Year! Binge watching your videos again... Not super healthy habit, I know, but this is what I need to see/hear these days, it seems, while trying to re-evaluate & re-adjust my life. Thank you for bringing such beautiful, meaningful and peaceful content to this world of glorifying hustle and living in the name of "better, faster, harder".
Dear you, you became my teacher who introduced minimalism to me. After watching your videos, I made my mind to change from greedy one to minimalist one. Every time I think about my minimalist dream, I'm so happy and excited. I'm just 20 years old but I became mature cuz of minimalist mindset. Thank you. I feel like I found my real life ✨
Thank you for your lovely videos. They are so refreshing and calming each and every time. I have started to become more minimalist and more mindful of my purchases and it has been the best decision. I have you to thank for inspiring me.

In regards to minimalism also being defined as _essentialism_ i recently stumbled across the line "winners give up all the time" - on all the things but their most valued goal/s, anything not essential for fostering progress. _REALLY_ got me thinking and shifted my perspective ... just like your videos. 🙏🏻 thx for sharing and helping us to gain clarity and focus 🌱
you are the sweetest! i love you, sophia! 😍
In your video you created magic cozy and calm atmosphere, that make you feeling soul harmony. Thank you, dear!

Oh good, I am not the only minimalist who doesn't buy a tree. It truly saves me money each year (and space from storage of ornaments) to not get one but I don't tell people I don't get one. I love how you went to look at other trees to admire instead. That is so beautiful!! I hope you enjoy your sailing lessons!!

I love your thought process. ^^ Thank you for changing my perspective. I love the idea of making our lives the best we can with it ~ elevate ~ make the experience more joyful. The word "effort" is stuck in my mind too, I've been taking a lot of things so lightly just because I think I don't have time for it ~ like the food I prepare. I eat to get through and not to enjoy haha! my bad, I'm gonna work on it. Thank you dear, you are lovely!
