haha It's funny how everything is based on perspective. I think I have a good amount of things. You think I'm very minimalistic, and I've had a bunch of comments on this video saying I have too much stuff to be a minimalist. It really makes you realize everyone views life a totally different way.
iron wolf theres actually different types of minimalism. Its not one size fits all, so it really does depends on personal preference, lifestyle and perspective. I can see that this isnt the type of minimalism where there are a few necessary items only, but the type of minimalism where she has everything she is using there and then and no clutter.
iron wolf she is a minimalist by her standards IDC IDC IDC IDC! and that's all that matter..there is no debate. If this isn't for you go watch someone else...
Ironically that bookshelf that you find useless, is what keeps your most essentials, that would end up scattered around your apartment if you wouldn't have it. Never under estimate practicality!
Wow!!! Beautiful apartment. Im actually planning on downsizing so I can save more/and travel the world (my dream). Everyone around is doing the complete opposite and trying to upsize and upgrade...Glad to see more people taking control of thier own lives and living on what they REALLY need.
That's awesome! there is a whole world out there to see. The hardest part will be the people in your life. Don't let them discourage you in any way. Try to find supportive people or just live your life by example and maybe others will follow.
Danielle M. It's all about what you want, man. Other people's goals are other people's goals. If upsizing is what they want because they truly want it - nothing wrong with that. But if you want to downsize or if you don't mind downsizing to help reach what you really care about - go ahead! Disregard what society says you _should_ want and _should_ strive for - you don't need that since you already know for yourself. :)
I'm on my journey to zero waste!! So far, I've been doing a LOT of sewing. I've made muslin and mesh bags for buying bulk and produce, muslin coffee filters, cotton "unpaper" towels, flannel handkerchiefs, and have started shopping my farmer's market and bulk foods. I would REALLY love to see a video on worm composting! What I need, how to do it, where to put the container, what I can put in it, etc. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful content! I'm so excited to be part of the positive change 🌱👍🏼
That's awesome! I'm not great at sewing. I asked my mom to make me most of my bags. I no longer compost with worms, but I will shoot a video on composting options with pros and cons. I can also give tips and suggestions
This is so pretty, but I have a few questions I've always wanted to ask a minimalist. To me, your space is so.. lacking in personality. There's nothing there that could spark joy or reminiscence. Do you keep tickets to movies or concerts? Pictures of you and your friends? Do you have a passion, a hobby, like art? I would be so sad in such a space, without my passion within reach and nothing to remind me of joyful times. I applaud you for such self-control, but it seems like such a miserable lifestyle, at least for someone like me, who is used to clutter. I get not wanting a lot of space; I certainly wouldn't want so much space I didn't know what to do with it. Why search for something smaller? Is it like a goal, to get the smallest studio? You certainly aren't the most 'minimalist' person i've seen, but these questions still stand. If any of my inquiries seemed rude, that was just my intention. Just a few questions from someone who is very, very not minimalist! That daybed is really cool, by the way!
Especially the monochromatic colour scheme. I can understand it for clothes, no one will notice you keep wearing the same stuff or it's easy to mix and match. But I don't get having no colour in your homespace. Unless the don't spend much time at home.
Great questions/ points! I was a sentimental hoarder at one point but I moved abroad a couple times so I had to leave all those memories and birthday cards behind. I realized that those things didn't make me happy. It was the actual relationships with people that did so. My current appartment ( not this one) has bit more color. However, I found a lot of joy in the clean white space that I lived in previously. It was incredibly calming. It was missing a painting but I never came across the right one. Ultimately, for me, minimalism taught me that it's not the things that encompass joy but the actual experience. My hobby is rock climbing and I climb with friends. I spend most of my day outside my home. I work in coffee shops instead of by myself. I don't think you have to let go of all the things that spark joy but that change in mindset is important. So for now, I will continue to spend more time outside my home instead of accumulating more stuff or looking at old photos. Not that that's wrong, just my personal preference. Thank you for reaching out to learn more 😊
That's so interesting! I like being able to compare our lifestyles and personal preferences, because I'm a homebody who loves sentimental stuff, enjoys crafting and painting, and a somewhat messy person lol. I have been trying to get into a good, clear mindset that allows me to let go of stuff but it's quite difficult! To touch on how you said that the actual experiences make you happy, I can totally agree. I just like having pictures, souveneirs, and tickets/ticket stubs so that I can glance at them every once in a while and remind myself of those experiences. Thanks for the discussion!!
agree completely, Devan. I really admire the ability to reduce possessions but this space felt devoid of... life, to me. Particularly the kitchen and living area. It looked like a time share where strangers come and go each week.
So interesting to read this discussion and see how different everyone is. I personally LOVE the white minimal look, with no paintings or anything else. It's the kind of home I aspire to and I want my future apartment to look just like this.
Getting there. Mom and I put all of our furniture on consignment. Now we're purging our home for only what is functional and useful for everyday. I love your bed. Oh the ideas I got from watching your video. Thank you for sharing🤩🥳🍿🥰
Your bed is sooooooo frickin' cool! :D IKEA really knocked it out of the park with that one and it's so great for a small space. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this bed or beds like it in the tiny house movement.
I love the Devil's Ivy plant on the stool. Life also gets a lot cheaper when you DIY with cleaning supplies, deodorants & toothpaste. I've saved so much money by switching to Baking Soda, Vinegar, Peroxide & Essential Oils for cleaning. I love the storage under your bed! Loved the video, very inspiring!
(I just saw this video, thanks YT for the suggestion, lol) While I've never been much on "stuff", I lost everything I owned in 2007 to an EF5 tornado. One thing I tell people - those things I was keeping for "sentimental" reasons? ALL those memories I still have... they were in my head and my heart, not in the programs, and ticket stubs, and not even in the photos. I love how calm your apartment is.... too much stuff and too much color makes me feel sort of "wired", and I like my home to be calm and soothing.
Thank you! I definitely try to have few things, but I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I went to move. WOW, it took forever. My goal in the future is to have only a suitcase.
Very cute. I love to see people doing a nice job with simple things, it´s affordable and inspirational. Sometimes we see so much videos showing only expensive things, unrealistic lifestyles that makes people feels the need to shop more, to be more luxurious and it kind of makes them unhappy, so for me it is very important to show more alternatives, this lifestyle looks so healthy and a happier way to live. I just started to see videos about minimalist and it is so interesting. Thanks for sharing :D
LOVE your presentations, Gir. Ilived in one room in an old brownstone in Brookline, MA when I was 17. Then moved to a studio on Commonwealth Ave. just around the corner from BU. So I love your small space living. My house is small, 1400 sq. ft. So on with the show m' lady.
Fun fact: Devil's Ivy is also known as Golden Pothos; they're amazing plants. They can grow in really low lights, but if you put them in well lit areas the leaves get yellow/white streaks! Super pretty plant.
(I'm just spontaneously sharing my personal preference in mininalism, just because. I'm sorry if it doesn't fit the video. :D) I'm not really a minimalist, I'm just average. I've always lived somewhere where stuff was already there. But innerly I'm something in between... I really want to have my own place before I marry someone, just once, just for like two years or something, and make it my own from start to finish! I'm only minimalist to an extend, so my home would be mininalist in certain aspects and only to an extend. Not for the sake of minimalism itself, but: *1. I want to be mindful of what I own.* I want to not need to reorganize things each year or so, let alone declutter - that to me means too many stuff. I don't want repetitiveness or things that just stay there and _never_ get used, but also _never_ get looked at for joy or sentiment. I want everything to be *either a necessity or something extremely meaningful* /cool. And I want to always have a *mental overview* of all that I own. *2. I want to move in and out easily.* *3. I want cleaning to be less demanding.* :D *4. I want space and sunlight!* *5. Simplicity calms me* and to a certain extend it feels *cozy* and feels *clean.* *6.* I want to have *a decorated home, but not in a volumpturous kind of way.* :D I'm more into *flat things.* :D Paintings, pictures or simply different colors on the furniture, but not anything too strong. I want flowiness. (For example lights on the corners between the walls and the cealing or a pattern/shape of lights on one wall is something that doesn't take much space, but it doesn't serve a purpose other than "I like it" either.) *7. I want to be organized.* The less stuff you have and the more easily they fit into categories - the easier it is to organize. And not just organize, but actually remember everything about how you've organized and what you own. *8. I want to change things up easily.* Move the couch, the pictures on the wall and the lights and VOILA, an impactful change, a different kind of cozy, and achieved super easily because there isn't anything to get in your way. That's how I view it! Anyone else with similar preference? You feel minimalist, but only in certain ways?
very real (not following the trends concerning interior design that seem to follow some kind of fast fashion movement) and simple and light and clean. beautiful!
I try to keep it simple but there is no right or wrong way to be a minimalist. It's about finding your own rhythm and focusing on the things that truly matter. Thanks for watching!
Don't use baking soda, my cousin brushed all her enamel off and had to get veneers. Bentonite clay or activated charcoal with coconut oil is much better.
Using baking soda is ok. You won't scrub off your enamel. The common toothpaste has an RDA of 70-80. Whitening toothpastes 100 and above. Baking soda has an RDA of 7. The RDA tells you how abrasive it will be on your teeth. (the higher the more abrasive it will be) But never use baking soda with lemon juice or something like that. THAT will ruin your teeth. (same reason you're not supposed to brush your teeth right after eating) IIRC the options you mentioned are good alternatives though. :)
OMG walking into paradise! no seriously i wish i was this consistent i really like the empty white space. Its exactly what i want cause i have ADhD and stuff is just distraction.
I found the bed idea perfect.. Okay, so my Sister will move out soon and she will go to a studio apartment.. And i am looking at videos. And when i saw your bed i was like, no my Sister wants a big bed and that is small, but then when you said it opens up to a King i was like.. Thats so smart.. And the fact that it also has drawers is so good. ♥️
I know! I love it. It took me forever to find something I liked. I wanted to have a lot of space in my apartment but I also a large bed because #adulting It was in the kids section of ikea.
being minimalist and vegan in long island new York is close to impossible. I love seeing people like you on here it's the only thing that keeps me motivated that my happiness in my lifestyle choice is all that matters. socially here it's very hard to find people to connect with and for them to understand
Really?! Wow, I guess I always saw New York area as progressive. Seek out people online! I didn't know a lot of people with similar interests until I looked for them. There is probably someone in long island feeling the same way you are.
I'm thinking about moving into a studio next year so this was cool. However I do have a ton of books so hopefully wherever I move has storage for that. I'm trying to minimize other things now though.
I personally loved it! I just moved into a 2 bedroom and so far I feel like I spend at least an hour a day cleaning whereas my last place took 15 minutes
Do you have a link to where you found your bed? I have been trying to find that exact bed that pulls into a king or queen. All I can find are twin and full.
I filmed a video on how I buy my food, ruclips.net/video/VsWUN9ekyL4/видео.html As for what's in it basics mostly: beans, lentils, rice, chickpeas. And then smoothie toppings: pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, etc.
Kinda reminded me of my tiny apartment in Dubai. minimalist living is the way to go. wayyy too much things in the home also means less flow of energies (if you believe in that). Oh and BTW. on the map, you missed out India completely. Do visit. It is a lovely place.
+Kalpesh Patel it's definitely on my list! I'm fascinated by Indian weddings lol. I'm praying my Indian friends get married in India just so I can go experience it for myself and eat all the food!
I loved having a space to get ready! I plan on doing a new tour! It's a very large space, and between my roommate and I we have a lot more "stuff" but we are making it feel like home ever so slowly.
Love how bright and plain that kitchen is! Will you be moving to another studio apartment. I live in a 336 sq ft apartment with my boyfriend and two cats, honestly I can so without the whole hallway lol so I know the feeling of not being able to find a small enough place! oh and I think that"s a pothos plant, I had two that I killed ( you really have to be something to kill that plant)
No, i'll be moving to 1000+ sq ft apartment 😂 . I moved in with a really good friend and that's what we found in the area I wanted. It's so empty so far, but getting filled up quickly which stresses me out haha. This chapter, I guess, is a whole new adventure in finding a balance and reaching compromises.
O my that's embarrassing, when we moved it died shortly. That's lovely, you will be making videos on that as well and I'm very much looking forward to that. I know if my partner and I ever moved it will be a bigger place, two people aren't allowed to live in a studio anyway in my state so I know we'd have to get a one bedroom :C
You're too sweet! I will try! I used to be really good at documenting travels and now I find that I hardly take pictures. But i'll attempt next time :)
okay im moving on my own, and want to choose a studio apartment but I was incredibly worried about the living/bedroom situation. The way you go about this is amazing. but where on earth did u find a bed that converts between a day bed and a king? sooo handy.
+The Girl Gone Green yay that means more videos! Im hooked too. I thought I would make one or two just to see what it was like but its so much fun I don't think I will be able to stop anytime soon :) x
I need to de clutter more of my stuff. Ice already gone through my things 3 or 4 times and gotten rid of a lot each time. Its a process. Especially as I had enough stuff to furnish my 3 bedroom house and now I'm in a much smaller house. I'm trying to get myself to not shop except occasionally.
+Tristian Green I recommend you watch my how to be a minimalist video. I talk about how important it is to find your "why." It'll help you from having to Declutter so often
thank you for sharing. I just subscribed to your channel a couple days ago. I was watching the minimalist ninja and noticed you made a comment I love her Channel also. I currently live in a 280 square foot area and I am making changes to minimize my life. I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I moved in here. I have stuff in the garage about 25 boxes in storage and several in my living space yikes.
SAME! I just moved from this apartment and omg I have so much stuff. Hopefully one day, I'll have just a suitcase of stuff, but for now, I'll haul my stuff around to each apartment. Thank you for subscribing 💚
Wow, this is the most beautiful minimalist apartment I've ever seen! so inspiring. and this is the biggest "little" kitchen in the world :D btw I love your dress :O
I absolutely love your dress!!! Simply perfect.Btw I got to your video from a video on sleeping on the floor. Maybe in your next level minimalism video you won't have a bed in the room :) it's definitely part of my plan.
I love your videos. I live in a studio too and I found this very helpful. Could you please tell me where you got your pull out bed from? I love how it pulls out as a king and also saves so much space.
you were NOT joking by minimalist
haha It's funny how everything is based on perspective. I think I have a good amount of things. You think I'm very minimalistic, and I've had a bunch of comments on this video saying I have too much stuff to be a minimalist. It really makes you realize everyone views life a totally different way.
iron wolf theres actually different types of minimalism. Its not one size fits all, so it really does depends on personal preference, lifestyle and perspective. I can see that this isnt the type of minimalism where there are a few necessary items only, but the type of minimalism where she has everything she is using there and then and no clutter.
iron wolf she is a minimalist by her standards IDC IDC IDC IDC! and that's all that matter..there is no debate. If this isn't for you go watch someone else...
@iron wolf how is she not a minimalist? I don't understand.
Ironically that bookshelf that you find useless, is what keeps your most essentials, that would end up scattered around your apartment if you wouldn't have it. Never under estimate practicality!
It does hold my essentials, but I would just put them away in appropriate places if I didn't have it. But yes it was useful haha
The best minimalist apartment I've seen so far. You've won my vote lol.
i guess you liked this bc its not that minimalistic xd bc i am like a total minimalist but this is not for me
I love how open and airy your apartment feels!
awesome Tour!
Thank you, Marie!
my dream is to own a kitchen with nothing on top of it haha lovely apartment!
It's a very calming way to cook. It takes discipline to put things away after using them but totally worth it!
You’ve made a medium-size Studio apartment look like a large apartment by being so minimal...
love this video
Wow!!! Beautiful apartment. Im actually planning on downsizing so I can save more/and travel the world (my dream). Everyone around is doing the complete opposite and trying to upsize and upgrade...Glad to see more people taking control of thier own lives and living on what they REALLY need.
That's awesome! there is a whole world out there to see. The hardest part will be the people in your life. Don't let them discourage you in any way. Try to find supportive people or just live your life by example and maybe others will follow.
Thank You!!!
Danielle M. I'm doing the same. People actually think I'm crazy for wanting to get rid of so much stuff. 😐
Danielle M. It's all about what you want, man. Other people's goals are other people's goals. If upsizing is what they want because they truly want it - nothing wrong with that. But if you want to downsize or if you don't mind downsizing to help reach what you really care about - go ahead!

Not everyone is into travelling and staying at nasty hotels. Travelling can also be considered a waste of money to some people.
I could see myself living here. Very nicely done!
It's a very calm and homey space
This is exactly the way I want to live, brilliant video!
It's a great way to live! Highly encourage it :)
I like minimalism. Clean, clear, light and airy spaces. Having only what you need. Wonderful!
Thank you! I was a great space
I'm on my journey to zero waste!! So far, I've been doing a LOT of sewing.

That's awesome! I'm not great at sewing. I asked my mom to make me most of my bags. I no longer compost with worms, but I will shoot a video on composting options with pros and cons. I can also give tips and suggestions
That would be wonderful!! Thank you so much! :)
A razor being so close to a toothbrush is going to keep me up at night
hahah
Love your apartment!
Thank you! 💚
i cannot get over how much natural light you have ! i love it
I know! It was the selling point for me

OMG i freakin love this.. it 'feels' so good with a minimalist environment..
best get decluttering!!!
It is a very calming environment. Good luck decluttering!
this aesthetic is my everything
Aesthetic is life 💚 haha
hey there Lonan haha (: and same
Love the wall map, I'm always meaning to make one of these!!
+Keen Runner it was super easy to make! I just found a print and mounted it on to cork and glued the wood sticks to it
This is by far my favorite minimalist apartment tour. It truly is minimalist! And so beautiful. Looks amazing
Thank you! I definitely try to have few things, but I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I went to move. WOW, it took forever. My goal in the future is to have only a suitcase.
I was waiting for the storage room...but your storage is what a true minimalist would have. Lovely place 😁
Very cute. I love to see people doing a nice job with simple things, it´s affordable and inspirational.

very real (not following the trends concerning interior design that seem to follow some kind of fast fashion movement) and simple and light and clean. beautiful!
Now THAT'S a minimalist apartment!
Oh i love your curtain! I know it's just plain white but it made all the difference. And the ivy plant! I gotta copy that!
Thank you 💚 It does make the difference
THIS is real minimalism
I try to keep it simple but there is no right or wrong way to be a minimalist. It's about finding your own rhythm and focusing on the things that truly matter. Thanks for watching!
There are some really cool world maps that you can scratch off the places you've been. If you get tired of stick pins.
I've seen those! They look pretty cool
Don't use baking soda, my cousin brushed all her enamel off and had to get veneers. Bentonite clay or activated charcoal with coconut oil is much better.
Using baking soda is ok. You won't scrub off your enamel. The common toothpaste has an RDA of 70-80. Whitening toothpastes 100 and above. Baking soda has an RDA of 7. The RDA tells you how abrasive it will be on your teeth. (the higher the more abrasive it will be)
But never use baking soda with lemon juice or something like that. THAT will ruin your teeth. (same reason you're not supposed to brush your teeth right after eating)
IIRC the options you mentioned are good alternatives though. :)
I don't live in a studio apartment anymore, but this kind of thing is fascinating for me!
OMG walking into paradise! no seriously i wish i was this consistent i really like the empty white space. Its exactly what i want cause i have ADhD and stuff is just distraction.
I like your apartment it looks like its never messy. Thats what I really want.
+Tristian Green it's super easy to clean and everything has its place!
I found the bed idea perfect.. Okay, so my Sister will move out soon and she will go to a studio apartment.. And i am looking at videos.

And the fact that it also has drawers is so good. ♥️
love the natural light and your magic bed.
I love this! I have slowly but surely been trying to get rid of things I don't need or that are taking up space.
Your bed is soo cool! And I love the plants, which bring a little bit of colour in your apartment.
I know! I love it. It took me forever to find something I liked. I wanted to have a lot of space in my apartment but I also a large bed because #adulting It was in the kids section of ikea.
I’m not even a minimalist (yet) but I love this 😍
Glad you liked it 💚
Yes I loved it. Pls post more small space arrangements.
loved your tour. your home seems very peaceful 😊
you are GOALS. Thank you! I was getting annoyed with all of the (not) minimalist apartment tours.
💚💚💚 Thanks
baking soda and coconut oil can make a toothpaste? i must try this! thanks for the recipe.
being minimalist and vegan in long island new York is close to impossible. I love seeing people like you on here it's the only thing that keeps me motivated that my happiness in my lifestyle choice is all that matters. socially here it's very hard to find people to connect with and for them to understand
Really?! Wow, I guess I always saw New York area as progressive. Seek out people online! I didn't know a lot of people with similar interests until I looked for them. There is probably someone in long island feeling the same way you are.
I love your minimalist place :) I saw many minimalist video on youtube, they just have to many stuff. This is a good amount of stuff that I need
Thanks 💚
Very nice and cool your Apartment ! I like it :-)
Thank you! I've loved my little home. Definitely going to miss it
Love that music! What is the name of it?
I'm thinking about moving into a studio next year so this was cool. However I do have a ton of books so hopefully wherever I move has storage for that. I'm trying to minimize other things now though.
you are really cute! lol! i am inspired...i lived in a studio before...trying to figure out if i want another one...thanks for the inspiration :)
I personally loved it! I just moved into a 2 bedroom and so far I feel like I spend at least an hour a day cleaning whereas my last place took 15 minutes
I’m very interested in your videos so please make more. Truly a fan ❤️
OMG!!! I love your vanity area! SOOOO CUUUUUTE! Pretty spiffy!
I love your minimalist apartment!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour I love the simple Ness decor
Thank you for watching!
loved it! can't wait to see the new apartment. and I definitely want to learn more about living in a small space and minimalism
Yes! I'm excited to show you guys. It's a much bigger space, and I have more stuff because I have roommates but I'm working to make it my home
Do you have a link to where you found your bed? I have been trying to find that exact bed that pulls into a king or queen. All I can find are twin and full.
Forever Wild it looks just like the daybed I bought from Ikea.
Omg love your apartment! It's so simple and aesthetically pleasing
Wow! Beautiful apartment :)
Thank you Leanne!
i loove that sofa-bed...really cool
This seems sooo easy to clean. I could never go full minimalist though, I have too many pets lol
finally something thats actually minimal
could you do a video where you show what food you have in your kitchen (including what's in your mason jars) and where you get it?
I filmed a video on how I buy my food, ruclips.net/video/VsWUN9ekyL4/видео.html
As for what's in it basics mostly: beans, lentils, rice, chickpeas. And then smoothie toppings: pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, etc.
Kinda reminded me of my tiny apartment in Dubai. minimalist living is the way to go. wayyy too much things in the home also means less flow of energies (if you believe in that). Oh and BTW. on the map, you missed out India completely. Do visit. It is a lovely place.
+Kalpesh Patel it's definitely on my list! I'm fascinated by Indian weddings lol. I'm praying my Indian friends get married in India just so I can go experience it for myself and eat all the food!
This is the lifestyle I’m striving for. I’m starting with donating everything I don’t need and going from there.
That's a great step! Start small so you don't get overwhelmed
So cool that you journal
Love the mason jars
that was more minimal than other ones on youtube thanks for sharing and making the world greener=]
Thank you for watching! I'd love to take it a step further and one day only have a suitcase of things, but for now I'll accept my ikea furniture haha
The vanity is such a cute idea! Your space is wonderful and I love your bed. I hope you do a tour of your new place=)
I loved having a space to get ready! I plan on doing a new tour! It's a very large space, and between my roommate and I we have a lot more "stuff" but we are making it feel like home ever so slowly.
That's lovely, I will be checking out the rest of your channel and subscribing=)
Such a beautiful place!
Thank you!
To save space, hang shoes on coat pegs on the lower wall or your closet.
I have the exact same DE razor - Merkur 20something long handle. Very nice.
Yes! It works wonders for me
Awesome ! My boyfriend and I are moving in a new apartment, and we're going to try our best to make a fresh clean new start !
Yes! Good luck on the move 💚
Mandy Moore
That's me ;)
Hey, just a heads up to rotate those succulents, they're etiolated (straining towards the light)!
Thanks for the tip!
Love how bright and plain that kitchen is! Will you be moving to another studio apartment. I live in a 336 sq ft apartment with my boyfriend and two cats, honestly I can so without the whole hallway lol so I know the feeling of not being able to find a small enough place! oh and I think that"s a pothos plant, I had two that I killed ( you really have to be something to kill that plant)
No, i'll be moving to 1000+ sq ft apartment 😂 . I moved in with a really good friend and that's what we found in the area I wanted. It's so empty so far, but getting filled up quickly which stresses me out haha. This chapter, I guess, is a whole new adventure in finding a balance and reaching compromises.
I've had one of those plants since I was a little kid. How did you kill it ?! I never even water it haha
O my that's embarrassing, when we moved it died shortly. That's lovely, you will be making videos on that as well and I'm very much looking forward to that. I know if my partner and I ever moved it will be a bigger place, two people aren't allowed to live in a studio anyway in my state so I know we'd have to get a one bedroom :C
Minimalist Vegan Lifestyle wow. What state do you live in? In Los Angeles illegal immigrant families live four, five, six to a studio apartment.
LOVE IT! The natural light and plants are beautiful :) :)
Thank you! Yes, i'm obsessed with plants. If I wasn't worried about killing them. I'd probably have an jungle-like apartment
The Girl Gone Green Exactly, I have the same fears :) :) Thanks for your reply!
That's minimalist!
Wow! You are amazing. You should also do a video on your travels!
You're too sweet! I will try! I used to be really good at documenting travels and now I find that I hardly take pictures. But i'll attempt next time :)
I love how beautiful your place is! Keep up the videos.
Thank you!
My dream apartment!
okay im moving on my own, and want to choose a studio apartment but I was incredibly worried about the living/bedroom situation. The way you go about this is amazing. but where on earth did u find a bed that converts between a day bed and a king? sooo handy.
IKEA!!! the heaven of handy things
Foreal she was not joking this is exactly what I understand minilast means !
Love this please do more. Been following you on Instagram for ages and only just found your youtube channel but so happy I did.
Thanks girl! I only recently started making them! i'm hooked haha
+The Girl Gone Green yay that means more videos! Im hooked too. I thought I would make one or two just to see what it was like but its so much fun I don't think I will be able to stop anytime soon :) x
I need to de clutter more of my stuff. Ice already gone through my things 3 or 4 times and gotten rid of a lot each time. Its a process. Especially as I had enough stuff to furnish my 3 bedroom house and now I'm in a much smaller house. I'm trying to get myself to not shop except occasionally.
+Tristian Green I recommend you watch my how to be a minimalist video. I talk about how important it is to find your "why." It'll help you from having to Declutter so often
First video I've watched of yours and love it.
Thanks for watching 💚
thank you for sharing. I just subscribed to your channel a couple days ago. I was watching the minimalist ninja and noticed you made a comment I love her Channel also. I currently live in a 280 square foot area and I am making changes to minimize my life. I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I moved in here. I have stuff in the garage about 25 boxes in storage and several in my living space yikes.
SAME! I just moved from this apartment and omg I have so much stuff. Hopefully one day, I'll have just a suitcase of stuff, but for now, I'll haul my stuff around to each apartment. Thank you for subscribing 💚
Wow, this is the most beautiful minimalist apartment I've ever seen! so inspiring.
and this is the biggest "little" kitchen in the world :D btw I love your dress :O
Thank you 💚💚
For sleeping, try a roll-up floor mat and a sleeping bag.
Thanks for the tips!
I absolutely love your dress!!! Simply perfect.Btw I got to your video from a video on sleeping on the floor. Maybe in your next level minimalism video you won't have a bed in the room :) it's definitely part of my plan.
Love how those mason jars look - I need to do that! 😊
I know I love how clean and label free it is
Inspiring, envy your lack of 'stuff', every time I try to declutter it's so overwhelming I put it off.
It can seem very overwhelming. I recommend tackling one small area at a time. For instance a drawer. Whole rooms are too much
Try the 30 day minimalist game! It’s fun and will help you get rid of 465 items in one month.
I love your videos. I live in a studio too and I found this very helpful. Could you please tell me where you got your pull out bed from? I love how it pulls out as a king and also saves so much space.
Thanks for watching. Yes, it's a Hemnes bed from IKEA
This was so soothing and inspiring! Loved it!!
Thanks Nise! I'm glad to hear it inspired you :)
I fall in Love with your chair
Great 👍🏻 video,
Neat bed, I lov the way you have your bulk foods.
I love that! can you tell more about how your apartment looked before you went minimalist?
I didn't live in this particular place before minimalism, but I've always had a lot of knick knacks
Lovely apartment!! So many ideas with this ❤️
