I love my printer 🤣 Essential when the kids were in remote school, great for printing pages to colour instead of buying colouring books, etc. and mine also prints pictures that I’ve used to share photos of the kids with the grandparents/ great grandparents and swapping out pics in frames to update them every once in a while.
I dont buy liquid soap- because of the plastic. No water bottles. I don’t buy any cleaning products - I make my own. No fast fashion - only second hand or from fair fashion brands. I don’t buy any clothes with polyester. I try to purchase only clothes with linen, cotton, hemp etc. I also don’t purchase any scented candles, gift wrapping paper or decor pieces. Can’t think of anything so far. Greetings from Germany ✌️
Thanks for sharing! These are some aspirational goals for me because I really do hate all of the plastic bottles. I would be more than happy to bring a glass bottle to the grocery and just refill it when it's empty (plus that would probably be a good thing for brands to save on production and have more repeat customers for the refills). Come on, brands!
I don't buy dryer sheets or softener. I have always found the tumble dryer softens my clothes just fine and if you pull stuff out and fold it right away, with very few exceptions, I probably would not need an iron, either. I also use woolen dryer balls. I have fine hair which I color. I no longer need conditioner. My hair dye comes with a little tube and I have filled an old conditioner bottle with them because I use so little of it. And I still have like 8 tubes ready to go in the bottle.
I totally forgot about an iron! I haven't owned one of those in many years. I've been interested in trying one of those dryer balls- heard great things about them!
You are my hero, Mia! I live in Germany and the topics really vary here. Living a minimalistic and healthy life is still more easy in northern Europe, compared to most parts of the US. I see my American friends and all the choices they have (which I had when I lived with them) and I just have to spread the word amongst them. Your channel, your thinking, your opinion really makes a difference. I hope, that many more followers are to come and find you. Keep it up, you rock! 😘
I like the majority of these suggestions - however, I do buy moisturizing eye drops for contact lenses because I wear contacts and have pretty dry eyes, so they help a lot! Also, I keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the laundry cabinet because it removes blood stains. That's all I use it for, but it's super effective! I also have a few car accessories - a hammock style seat cover for the back row because I have two large dogs. I also have a charging plug for my cell phone (I live in Alaska and drives can be LONG when going out of town), and an organizer in the trunk for car cleaning supplies and my road safety kit. A lot of great suggestions to help me reconsider what I personally need in my home.
I bought labels and folders hundred year ago and still using them, they are handy! Printer - I use it cos I’m old school. Pictures, notes etc on the cellphone take space that you have to pay for monthly!
I decided I don't care if my legs are hairy and just don't buy anything related to hair removal. Besides that, I have lots of sewing pins because I like to sew, and two clothespins: one for cleaning gloves, one for random stuff that could need hanging. Also I have three handbags because I like to look *fashionable* and other kinds of bags depending on occasion, like a laptop backpack and a fanny pack
Living in the frozen tundra of Minnesota, hats and mittens are as must have. As well as fall/ spring coats and gloves. Big coats, choppers and snow boots are for -40° temps
I had bad experiences with Keurig machines. When my last one died (2 in 5 years) I decided to just use my regular coffee making devices. It tastes better and stronger and is much less costly to make.
I don’t buy one-time use plastic baggies or cling wrap. I have Stasher bags in two sizes that work great and Bee’s Wrap. I went back to using my chafing dishes to bake with, so no need for aluminum foil, either. I no longer have paper napkins or paper towels. Cloth all the way. We still generate a lot of trash, but these things are not in there. It’s great!! :)
Instead of sponges, we also have the thing with the scrubber on the end, but we do use Dobie scrubbers on dishes. They are inexpensive, and dishwasher safe. The dishwasher really does get them clean-they smell fine.
i had to buy a printer due to having teens in high school, but i was very pleased to see that they now have a system that refills from a larger bottle, instead of those tiny cartridges that are a massive rip-off. hopefully the one set of bottles we purchased will last us a year at least and i won't feel much pain.
I was totally confused the first time I heard someone refer to a hat as a toboggan, like you, that was always a sled LOL! The things we learn everyday, huh?
I wonder if you might have some advice for higher maintenance women, who have a large collection of shoes, makeup, haircare, etc. and it's a permanent part of our profession and lifestyle? I admire you for being so minimalist but it's not something every woman can adopt. Love your videos!
Lol about the pantyhose...I only wear dresses and skirts because I hate the way pants feel on me! So in winter I need a way to cover my legs. I wear thigh highs exclusively...pantyhose is so uncomfortable! Thigh highs are awesome, and they make them in sheer, opaque, and sweater knit...basically every thickness you might need like wearing long socks.
That's a great list of stuff not to buy. Now that you mention it, I haven't bought a CD in probably 15 years or even longer. Other things on your list I stopped buying years ago also, but don't even think about that stuff anymore, it's just been so many years without it.
I got my Keurig fir $17! Back in the day when target used printable online coupons and gave out more of the gift cards for certain purchases, I saved all of them for a whole year. I finally had enough for most of a Keurig, but then the purchase of it offered a gift card for $35 that week. My final next cost was only $17! Again this year I am saving the gift cards for the whole year. That will likely be the vast source of Christmas money this year again.
I buy panty hose but I only have 1 pair. I have sensory issues and not much of a thigh gap so I get tights or panty hose to make it so my thighs don't rub together as I walk in skirts. But I only have 1 because I wear skirts at only special occasions normally only a couple times a year. So I have 1 for when I need to wear my black a line skirt and that is it. I don't buy high heels ever because I have a disability that makes me go between a cane and a wheelchair depending on the day and I know I need shoes I can tolerate for a while with my cane so I always get flats. I have found your content helpful though as I'm trying to simplify my life to make it more accessible with my disability. I have enough random gear for keeping tabs on my health that looking at the value things in my life has helped me to get real as I start to get rid of things that I won't need because I can no longer live on my own safely. Also I try to make sure everything sentimental has a space and a purpose. I have a hippo that was part of my Nana's (grandma on dad's side) hippo collection. I got a stuffed hippo because I was one of the youngest grandchildren. That hippo holds onto my jewelry and hair accessories so that they don't get tangled up and I can easily get to them. It also fits the memory as my nana frequently wore lots of jewelry and got her hair done every week up until she got the cancer that killed her.
I have 3 piercings per ear lobe and two I got at the same time and are the same earrings that I got pierced with, hahah. I’ve never changed them, totally relate.
have printer because kid will need something printed at 8pm on school night due tomorrow! also handy for friends kids in apartment also. Just got a car after 20 years without so just poping over to the library to get something printed was a walk or bus ride away. bus stops at 5:30pm. Now that I have a car seat covers for sure. My car is 1995 and the person took real good care of the inside. I have big dog and a 22yo with lots of friends, little trash can in back. I never bought makeup, and only clear and black nail polish back in the day. cat litter I use big ol bags of wood pellets way cheaper.
Don’t like picture frame too, or not for photos! But I print photos, because we don’t look at it when it’s digital and I’m always scared to lose it. I have scrap books for it, take no space.
YES!!! Welcome Elle 🤗 I am so happy you're here. Must be a thing... a couple of my team members have nose rings too... Let me know if you have any questions as you pop through the videos or any insights they help you come too!
those cheap flipflops are SO bad for your feet. and for years I thought "no way would i ever been seen in birkinstocks". until i tried them out. now i own 6 pair and that's pretty much my go-to shoe (i live in the tropics).
I LOVE nail polish and makeup, so I have a designated container for each and if it doesn't fit, I can't buy more. I try to purchase only the colors I know I love and will use, so that I don't have to declutter them later.
I love my nail polish and have it in a pretty box that all fits perfectly, I love it. And nothing more can fit, so it’s stopped me from buying more which is great.
Good list for people getting started. I'm not a minimalist (yet?) but live from more of an eco-friendly and/or health point of view. Without that frame of reference, I'm not sure of the point of 'minimalism'. Why use a Keurig or similar machine? Unless you have refillable pods? A french press or espresso machine that uses fresh grinds eliminates the daily waste and makes much better coffee. 'Room sprays' or any chemically perfumed anything (cleaning products, candles etc) are so toxic with VOCs....aside from the environmental impact, people shouldn't be exposing themselves to them (especially with children). You don't mention paper towels, paper napkins, disposable dishes/utensils etc but I've never purchased any of those. Same with all the single use wipes, cleaning supplies, dryer sheets etc. I've noticed those are things that the typical American household needs education on ....much more so than some of the items you list here.
Love my French press and have a stainless steel spray bottle that I fill with water and few drops of lavender essential oil to use as a room spray on occasion. There’s so much waste people can cut down on 😩
idk if youve dont this before but a home tour would be interesting to see :) thank for all the tips! it's refreshing to see things from a new perspective.
I have to admit- the magic erasers are amazing. I do keep a few of those on me now. I never considered them a "sponge" but I guess they technically are. They work SO well on walls and baseboards :)
I can go along with much of what you say but wearing shoes without panty hose while wearing a dress? I cannot bear to put a bare foot into a dress shoe. It doesn't look or feel nice at all.
Just found your channel. Would you let me know the name of your zip up file system. I need one of those…. Also, I totally agree on sponges. I never liked them.
I'm mostly the same, but pantyhose? I guess you live somewhere warm? Or never wear dresses or skirts? 😅 Where I live, up north, if I want to wear dresses or skirts one needs pantyhose because of the cold. I only wish they would be more comfy, less synthetic... 😒
I don't have any specific links to share... but you could try looking for a supportive bralette that supports you, there are options I know for larger chested ladies. 🤗
I use peroxide for tough laundry stains. Gets out most bodily stuff and is esp good at getting blood stains out. Also is enzymatic and breaks down urine (such as with pets etc). Ha ha. My adult son got hold of my Jeep and got all this bling for it and yes...loving the subwoofer tho. I wouldn’t spend the money on it tho ha ha. May as well enjoy Bcuz it’s free. Lol. Mostly he was just getting mom back to the 21st century. I didn’t have anything modern at all such as Bluetooth etc. lmao.
@@MiaDanielle Lol. I am terrible about low tech. I avoid new tech mostly Bcuz I get so frustrated trying to learn it. 😅😅 I’m 53 and l love my rap music and how that thing thumps my whole car. Pretty sure I’m quite the anomaly in my social group. Lmao. 😅😅 Awesome tho once I finally learned how to use the car phone speaker with the maps and the Apple Music. Coolest thing ever. Ha ha ha. Lol. He’s 24 now.
If you watch Dr Dray on RUclips she’s a dermatologist. She actually recommends putting pure petroleum jelly on a cut or womb or a regular bandage after cleaning. She said the anti microbial gels don’t really work and cause super bugs and allergic reactions. Not sure what video but…a heads up.
i actually bought a tub based on one of her vids, and then laughed when i went to put it away and found i already had a tub! oops. will give one to out-of-home kids. My latest superpower is: give it to the daughters! ha. at their stage in life they will take anything.
They actually end up CAUSING contact dermatitis (sometimes-not always). Love Dr. Dray! She’s a minimalist as well. 🙂. At first I didn’t understand but now I’m seeing the light!
I love my printer 🤣 Essential when the kids were in remote school, great for printing pages to colour instead of buying colouring books, etc. and mine also prints pictures that I’ve used to share photos of the kids with the grandparents/ great grandparents and swapping out pics in frames to update them every once in a while.
Souvenirs- HA! My mother in law brought us back a Sombrero from her cruise a couple years ago. What in the world am I suppose to do with that. 😆😬
Hahaha to funny
Use it as wall decor?
@@nohomo4774 not a bad idea but why should she feel like she needs to use someone else’s souvenirs from a travel she was not part of as decoration?
Donate to a HS Spanish instructor?
Lol.....so true!

Greetings from Germany ✌️
Thanks for sharing! These are some aspirational goals for me because I really do hate all of the plastic bottles. I would be more than happy to bring a glass bottle to the grocery and just refill it when it's empty (plus that would probably be a good thing for brands to save on production and have more repeat customers for the refills). Come on, brands!
What do you use to wrap gofts?
@@MiaDanielle I"ve just been seeing reusable aluminium bottles for shampoo/ conditioner/ body wash. The refill comes in pouch( sustainable?).
I have fallen in love with shampoo bars!
@@vanessaibarra185 Many people will use whatever newspaper that already comes into their home. Or, some people just don't wrap gifts.

Dryer Balls are the bomb! Takes less time to dry clothes (not sure how that works), and clothes feel good.
I love my silicone dryer balls. Works great.
You are my hero, Mia!

Definitely so important to factor in where you live! Living in Minnesota won't require the same winter gear as living in California...
When I retired in 2006, I swore as God as my witness, I would never wear heels or panty hose again!

So sad that we still use printers when everything can be scanned and read online
I have never heard of a hat being called a toboggan. I thought that was for sledding. I learned something new today.
Haha, you know... I call them beanies usually but I've heard that some locations use that word for a sled!
I grew up in the American South, and we always called beanies toboggans. Only when I got older did I realize most people use that term for sleds!
I was totally confused the first time I heard someone refer to a hat as a toboggan, like you, that was always a sled LOL! The things we learn everyday, huh?
The opinion on Keurig needs revising. They are junk now. Mine had less than daily use, and only lasted 18 months!

Good list for people getting started. I'm not a minimalist (yet?) but live from more of an eco-friendly and/or health point of view. Without that frame of reference, I'm not sure of the point of 'minimalism'. Why use a Keurig or similar machine? Unless you have refillable pods?

@@MiaDanielle Lol. I am terrible about low tech. I avoid new tech mostly Bcuz I get so frustrated trying to learn it. 😅😅 I’m 53 and l love my rap music and how that thing thumps my whole car. Pretty sure I’m quite the anomaly in my social group. Lmao. 😅😅 Awesome tho once I finally learned how to use the car phone speaker with the maps and the Apple Music. Coolest thing ever. Ha ha ha. Lol. He’s 24 now.

Thanks for sharing! Is that something that's working really well for you?
Funny I don't buy any of the crap she said. I just wasted my time watching this video lol
If you watch Dr Dray on RUclips she’s a dermatologist. She actually recommends putting pure petroleum jelly on a cut or womb or a regular bandage after cleaning. She said the anti microbial gels don’t really work and cause super bugs and allergic reactions. Not sure what video but…a heads up.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
i actually bought a tub based on one of her vids, and then laughed when i went to put it away and found i already had a tub! oops. will give one to out-of-home kids. My latest superpower is: give it to the daughters! ha. at their stage in life they will take anything.
They actually end up CAUSING contact dermatitis (sometimes-not always). Love Dr. Dray! She’s a minimalist as well. 🙂. At first I didn’t understand but now I’m seeing the light!
