    I’ve been a silent followers of yours for years! Since you were at your old apartment working washing dishes! Your content gives me comfort. Over the years, you’ve always stayed true to yourself. Not trying to jump on trends or the hype for the money. Sure, it may hinder your financial success & growth of your channel. But your morals are worth more. I appreciate your transparency & authenticity. It’s a rare gem these days especially with the other social media platforms taking off. Your channel is so underrated & you deserve more recognition. I’m always rooting for your success girl! Stay thriving Kyra!

    I want to do my best this year to not spend money on makeup! This is definitely my biggest struggle! I wanted to buy everything I could have! But I urgently need to stop buying makeup!I want to do like you and focus only on what is necessary!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      Laila, you've got this! I faced a major makeup challenge in the past, so I completely empathize with how you're feeling. A helpful approach is to categorize your makeup into three piles: trash, keep, and donate. Ensure you dispose of expired items, as makeup has a short shelf life, and it can accumulate bacteria. When donating, focus on unopened items to avoid any potential adverse reactions. For the “keep” section, prioritize products you genuinely enjoy and use regularly, ensuring they align with your current preferences and needs.

    I'm a retired dentist in UK firstly your teeth are perfectly white enough, whiter doesn't equal healthier. Also most USA white strips are illegal in Europe as have too much hydrogen peroxide to get a safe medical licence. It is a fact that even when whitening is done professionally that 20-30% of people still experience sensitivity. If your teeth hurt when having iced drinks or biting into icecream you probably can't deal with whitening. Don't use abrasive toothpaste. Thebest factors for staining teeth are smoking drinking black tea and coffee red wine and foods with lots of artificial colours in them. Save your money kyra. You need a decent toothbrush changed roughly every 3-6 months and toothpaste and floss or tepe ( not sure what they are called in America) brushes for the gaps. Prevention is better than cure and cheaper so an annual check up is fine. Unless you know you have gum disease in which case more often.

    Kyra! Have you considered writing a minimalist ebook or paperback book? So one thing I did last year and this year was publish my own cookbooks on Amazon to pad my income. I just have two but it’s a start. I don’t make a lot per month but it definitely helps. Every bit helps. If you publish a minimalist ebook I would definitely buy it! Who else?! lol

    Honestly getting some thrift store jeans in actual cotton (stiff material) was so helpful as I lost weight. Wearing leggings and joggers during the pandemic made me not even realize I was going up 20lbs. Dressing with a little more structure helps with posture/healthy weight management and overall confidence.

    I believe we were doing the minimalism journey about the same year. Been watching you for a long time. I related to you coz I was once a dietary aide. I've come a long way with this journey and to be honest, I think it's a forever journey. I am a recovering shopaholic so I've had slip-ups 😮‍💨 but watching videos like yours helps me keep in check. I've decluttered soooooo much and it makes me sick the amount of money I wasted over the years.

    i feel the same lol. i guess when we get our sensitivity returned back after all sorts of detoxes from the society, we all come to not need the same things. my changes happened after i went vegan its when i realized what i really need and want vs compulsive desires and what i can live without that doesnt improve my life quality. now i can live without working or doing things that i dont want to just to make the money or get the means to do things that dont make me happy. also I agree so much with the waiting. they usually always have a reason!

    • @Kyraann.
      @Kyraann.  6 месяцев назад +1

      So lately I’ve been using the dryer with dryer balls when it comes to large loads of laundry. We personally pay $2 to wash and $3 to dry our clothes since the washers/dryers are shared by every tenant. I would suggest a drying rack if you have the space for one especially when it comes to special clothing items that can’t go on the dryer. This might help your electric bill issue, also unplug things your not using such as phone chargers, laptop chargers, coffee machines etc. This might help as well.

      I personally don’t eat out these days only if it’s a special occasion like a birthday. But when I do I give what I can. This is one of the reasons why I eat more at home due to how expensive it can get with eating out, theres the gas you use to get to the restaurant, parking expense, over priced meal and a tip. It’s just too much 😩
      But I do always leave a tip because people find it very rude here when you don’t and most people survive off there tips as a sole income.
