Do you feel guilty for things that bring you joy? I'm for example passionate about makeup and have more makeup then I'll use or need, but since getting into sustainability I feel guilty for these things. I would want to try new things, and think about certain items for months, and still don't give in to buying them even tho I know I'll enjoy them. It's a constant battle. What do I do with it?? I have no clue.
Great video thanks! I was wondering when you started calling yourself a minimalist? I started minimalism a few months ago, went through my house but I'm still learning what works for my family and I know I'm a long way from where I want to be still. Ha I feel like a minimalist imposter :/
On a previous video you mentioned choosing more low-maintenance plants, and I'm also a plant lover but looking for those that are easier to care for. Can you tell us which you have?
Haha oh my gosh I feel like so many of us can relate to that! In my opinion, if you’re in the process of simplifying, call yourself a minimalist! It’s way more about your mindset and intention than exactly where you’re at in your journey 🤍
When friends and family ask me what gifts I'd like to receive, I've sometimes asked that the donate to a favorite organization of mine instead. Again, allowing them to show their affection, while redirecting the actual gift into something that is much more meaningful to me. :)
Especially if those people are gift givers, too. Maybe stop giving that person an object gift for a while; that could slow down the other person giving back. It’s like Animal Crossing, sometimes people feel the need to give back out of obligation or since they’re touched by it and want to return the favor. But if you don’t give it as much, they probably won’t give much either?
I saw someone else comment this but I love the idea of a video about how to organize certain spaces like your kitchen, closet, bathroom, and other things like that!
I love receiving consumables as gifts. My family knows and respects that I do not want gifts at all but if they insist they will give me food items or a bottle of wine etc. Also have received gift certificates for a favorite restaurant. I get more joy out of giving gifts than receiving them. BTW your paintings are very good!
I would like to see seasonal routine videos. I know for me personally I have a harder time getting up and doing things when it gets colder and the sun sets sooner.
My goals with minimalism are more peace, less anxiety/stress, saving money and to finally tackle the tasks I've been too busy cleaning to get to. I was a hoarder. Having all that stuff weighed me down so much and I just need to move on. It was hard to go through the stuff as a lot of it striked up bad memories, but that's the main thing that got me to these videos about minimalism. Decluttering has already helped me so much with my mental health alongside therapy. It's like learning to process these things that happened and letting go of the physical reminders went hand in hand. I'm still not done though.
Just an idea for future vids.....xmas decor......I am going through holiday decor soon, and at this point I'm loving my minimalism journey so much that I want to get rid of most of it, downgrade to a smaller tree since its just me and the hubs......just curious what you guys do :)
If you have a meal planning system, I'd like so ideas. As a single person I find it hard to plan meals. I'm also diabetic, so I HAVE to be intentionally, but I'm mostly not. Thanks for sharing your ideas and information
I would love to see a plant and bullet journal "routine" how you go about doing it. And maybe an updated make up routine if there has been any change to the last one!
Heyy your amazing by the way! I'd love to see a video on how to control impulse spending i think id find that so helpful and also how your organise your space routines such as wardrobes, bathroom, kitchen etc 😘❤🧡💛💚💙
I spent part of the morning organizing my papers and filing my important documents! I feel lighter and satisfied! Side note I do struggle with impulse buying after decluttering because I feel I need to replace a piece of clothing I got rid of or a piece of decor to make me feel temporarily happy..
i want all of the routine videos haha - weekend routines or sunday night routines would be great - as well as maybe laundry routines or fall-related routines. I found you through your evening routine videos so I think they're my fav for sure
You strike me a such a sweet wholesome person, and I LOVE your videos! I'd be really interested in videos about minimalist beauty (clothes, skincare, etc). I know you already have some like this, so maybe a video just about how your beauty routine/style has changed since becoming a minimalist? Do you think it's better, are there things you miss at all?
This is an odd request, but I’m actually starting from scratch. I only own my backpack for nursing school and my computer. Nothing else. What’s a good list of things that you think would be valuable to have? I want to be minimalist in my approach to living on my own and STAY that way
Infp here. Thanks for the video :) impulse shopping is what has kept me in a not so healthy way toward minimalism esp online shopping. There is for sure a rush that comes with it. Always a work in progress but happy where im at. Thanks!
Would love to see a video on impulse buying as well as how you handle Black Friday. Do you participate in Black Friday or just avoid it all together? Thank you for always providing a new perspective on things. I have always seemed to be a natural minimalist, but after watching your videos I have been really trying to make more intentional decisions🙂
I love watching Harry Potter movies in the fall time too. It always reminds me of the time when I excitedly waited for a new movie to come out because if I remember correctly, almost all HP movies came out during November-December. By the way, my tip for dealing with impulse buying is that when you're in the shop, ask yourself if you really need that item and think about the purchase decision. Wait at least 15 minutes while going around and shopping what you actually need. When you're about to leave the store, if you have not thought that item even once while shopping for another items, you don't actually need the item you were about to buy because of an impulse. If you think about that item while shopping for your needed items, it means that it might actually have use for you. If you're unsure about it, leave it to the store and if you are thinking about it when you're at home, it's ok to go and buy it.
I love giving and receiving gifts! I love the creativity and effort to find something that you know they will love. I appreciate the details and the effort, no matter what it is! It’s so much fun!
Okay I’m an October baby too and everything you said in this video I feel the same! I LOVE fall and doing arts and crafts as a hobby and my boyfriend and I just watched through the Harry Potter series! So funny!
My family and I started giving “shared experiences” to each other many years ago. I cherish having a day with my family member one on one over a gift that I will not use.
To the question how to stay motivated: it’s a journey. Start with a small area and just the obvious things. Eventually go back thru the areas and you will be surprised how many more things you will find - and at some point you will keep going thru the same areas ... so just don’t over do at first ...☺️ (I did the 30 day declutter - where day 1 you eliminate 1 thing, day 2 eliminate 2 things; day 30 eliminate 30 things - I took longer than 30 days but I kept track of the things daily until I was done - I loved it lol )
I've found that since being out of quarantine (and now being in school online), I want to add in a couple new [offline] hobbies and prioritize what other hobbies I want to step away from. My blog has been on hold for a while (with the exception of two reviews I want to post), and at some point, I may just scrap it all together because of where I'm at in life now. Perhaps you could do a video of the different hobbies you've started and how they've evolved with you? :)
Ashlynne! I'm an INFP, but I'm basically in the middle between extroversion and introversion, leaning a little towards introversion. We're almost the same personality type! :)
I ask my family what they want as well. It just makes my life so much easier. Most people that know me know that I adore coffee mugs and scarves so those are always safe gifts for me however, I realized yesterday that I have received 3 candles over the past year and I'm not at all a candle person. I'm still struggling with decluttering.
my family uses giftster! It is really useful. Its online wishlists we can all add what we like in the app and see what others want too. we do secret santa too so each of us is only getting from one person.
Experiences as gifts... those are the only gifts I give, and only when I am sharing in the experience so we spend time together, which is the best part of the gift. Also, the experience has to be very special. something we would not ordinarily do. For example, instead of buying holiday gifts, my girlfriends and I got together for a lavish, expensive brunch at the Four Seasons or the Ritz (pre-pandemic). We each paid our own share, but this was a treat for all of us, because normally we could not afford this routinely. Bonus fun, all year long we debate which lavish place we will dine in for the brunch. Also, and this is golden advice from a mother, for all you newly married ladies out there, there is one gift you can give your mother-in-law. Let her son treat her to lunch/brunch , just the two of them. I do not need more stuff, But I would love just a few hours a year, to catch up with just my son. I spend lots of time with them as a couple, but rarely with my son alone. Also, about candles, most are carcinogens. For decades there has been lots of info out there about their causing cancer (lungs), but the link below is from Stanford University. Precautionary, I use only real soy candles, cotton wicks, as a rare treat, instead of constantly. large.stanford.edu/courses/2016/ph240/lee-m2/
My love language is receiving gifts but I’ve become a minimalist for the last 4 years and have cut down on random gift giving and receiving from friends but I do miss it. But then almost everything I get I know I’ll declutter it. I’m referring to the candle, picture frame, around $5 type gift where you can’t really ask for an experience or something that would cost more. I’ve started trying to use the item (like mug or something) for at least a little while.
For smaller gifts like that, I love making a habit of gifting consumables! Food, fun drinks... those can be great and meaningful gifts that don’t add clutter 🤍
October bday here also. The experience I will ask the bf for will be moving my refer and stove to clean under it and attaching my new headboard. Getting things done you are unable to do on your own means more to me than a trinket. Happy birthday.
New subscriber to your channel. :) Have you ever thought about doing monthly budget videos especially since you’ve talked about buying a home in the future?
I know I won't make myself many friends by saying this but you don't need to put yourself in a box with those personality type things, since they are not psychologically /scientifically proven and personality is way too complex to be classified like this... Do it for fun but know that your personality is always changing, never fixed and that that is a good thing and you can learn! I've done the Myers Briggs test 4 times the last 4 years and it said something else everytime and everytime I felt like yeah this is me. Because I change! We all change. I know these tests are super fun but please don't take them too seriously. OK bye...
Haha nope, totally agree with you! I think that they can be helpful in understanding yourself and others, but it’s really important not to take them to far or to let them define you. Personalities change and we need to be flexible to allow that! ☺️
If anyone asks what kind of gift I want, I ask for a personalized card (just a reg card with a simple msg). If they really insist, I suggest a coffee card (Tim Hortons/ Starbucks coffee shops, etc.) Those I def use because I'm addicted to caffeine.
My partner and I have been moving a lot the last few years and are now in the process of moving into a new place for a at least a few years and want to start minimalism. What would be the things to keep in mind to not go overboard with new furniture/decor/ideas - it sure can be overwhelming.
Honestly that hugely depends on what is important to you and what you would use! Encouragement that would be to focus on key, versatile pieces that you’ll get a lot of use from 🤍
@@AshlynneEaton i know that sounds creepy but i like only few people i guess i am minimalist in making friends n u become one of my favs .... Wish u luck n more success
I love the sweater you are wearing, but online it looks more yellow than rust color. How is it in person, more like your video or like it is online? I am so torn.
i've noticed that i frequently find myself buying things in order to achieve a certain minimalistic aesthetics i see on pinterest or instagram. Do you have any suggestion? may be stop using social media and don't pretend to live a perfect life sounds good :-) thanks for sharing and greetings from Italy
I've seen some youtubers holding an empty cup while talking and I think they forget and tilt the cup to the front of the camera and all the way to the sides that if it had any liquid it'd be all spilled, it looks silly
@@AshlynneEaton haha ok I love coffee and tea too... it just reminds me of Friends when they would say at the Central Perk with empty cups lol... btw, I watch all of your videos but I'm not a minimalist or want to be, weird, right?!
Did you have a question that I didn’t get to here? Comment it below and I’ll answer as many as I can! 🤍

On a previous video you mentioned choosing more low-maintenance plants, and I'm also a plant lover but looking for those that are easier to care for. Can you tell us which you have?
I don’t really! But if you have concerns, maybe try opting for more sustainable makeup brands? 🤍
Haha oh my gosh I feel like so many of us can relate to that! In my opinion, if you’re in the process of simplifying, call yourself a minimalist! It’s way more about your mindset and intention than exactly where you’re at in your journey 🤍

LOVE that idea Jessica! 🤍
I say cash money is what you can get me
Also would love an updated morning routine! X
Planning on filming this soon! 🤍
It can be difficult for people to understand that you really don't want gifts! Some great advice Ashlynne, thanks for sharing!
Especially if those people are gift givers, too. Maybe stop giving that person an object gift for a while; that could slow down the other person giving back.

Totally get that! You’re so welcome! 🥰
100% agree with you. sometimes gifts or presents just go to ‘sell’ or ‘donate’ box
I saw someone else comment this but I love the idea of a video about how to organize certain spaces like your kitchen, closet, bathroom, and other things like that!
There will definitely be more content coming soon on this!! 🤍
I'm an INFJ and like structure, planning, organizing. So interesting how one letter different (INFP) makes a big difference.
It is really !!
I'm an infj too
Completely!! 🤍
I’m an INFJ too!
I am as well!
@@AshlynneEaton How do I find out what my letters are?
I love receiving consumables as gifts. My family knows and respects that I do not want gifts at all but if they insist they will give me food items or a bottle of wine etc. Also have received gift certificates for a favorite restaurant. I get more joy out of giving gifts than receiving them. BTW your paintings are very good!
Love this! Consumables can make great gifts! 🤍
If you get non-consumable gifts, you can always re-gift those items during the holidays since gift giving is your passion :) or donate them?
Please do a sunday routine video or a fall routine one 😍
Definitely can do that!! 🤍
Love it!! I really enjoy your chanel, you are awesome. Xoxo from Mexico ❤️

It’s really all about taking small steps towards simplicity 🤍
I really wished to have u as a friend but i know thats not possible specially in this fast life right
@@AshlynneEaton i know that sounds creepy but i like only few people i guess i am minimalist in making friends n u become one of my favs .... Wish u luck n more success
I love the sweater you are wearing, but online it looks more yellow than rust color. How is it in person, more like your video or like it is online? I am so torn.
I’d say it’s definitely more rust than yellow! 🤍
Where did you get your bedside tables? I can't find any that I like as well as those.
Target 🤍
No need to get paper bills. Change all to electronic billing delivery and auto everything. And boom. No more worries.
Hi Ashlynne! Can I ask what size Everlane sweater you’re wearing for a point of reference?
I’m wearing an extra small! 🤍
Thank you, that’s very helpful! :)
i've noticed that i frequently find myself buying things in order to achieve a certain minimalistic aesthetics i see on pinterest or instagram.
Do you have any suggestion? may be stop using social media and don't pretend to live a perfect life sounds good :-) thanks for sharing and greetings from Italy
I think the big thing is just realizing that minimalism isn’t about an aesthetic and learn to be content with what you have 🤍
@@AshlynneEaton thanks for your quick reply Ashlynne, 100% agree
I want to see a daily chores routine
I actually just recently posted one of these!
What is a “minimalism game”?? I want to play!
I’m going to be playing it in October! I’ll explain it then and you can play with me! 😉
Ashlynne Eaton 🙌🏼
Also, I totally made a mistake on this. It’s going to be November. But I’ll be making a whole video on it! 🤍😉
15 plants? 😂 I live on my own and have 45... 🌱 slightly obsessed lmao.
Haha love that!!
Impulse buys are the worst...very guilty of it. Swear I will use the item and guess what it sits collecting dust.
It can definitely be challenging! But with planning + effort it definitely can get better!
When I became a minimalist I told my family no more gifts. If they wanted to give me something make it a gift certificate.
I love that Cathy! 🤍
I sell my gifts on facebook marketplace & am very happy if I am able to get a few bucks by selling off useless gifts
Travel.... 💔
I got tired of my teenage mutant ninja turtles pjs so I asked my father to find me a new pair of pjs to adore 💕
I've seen some youtubers holding an empty cup while talking and I think they forget and tilt the cup to the front of the camera and all the way to the sides that if it had any liquid it'd be all spilled, it looks silly
Haha there was definitely a real tea in there! It just got drank as I filmed 😉
@@AshlynneEaton haha ok I love coffee and tea too... it just reminds me of Friends when they would say at the Central Perk with empty cups lol... btw, I watch all of your videos but I'm not a minimalist or want to be, weird, right?!
At this point im older im just like spending time with me you can give me or nice card and you make it.
Love that so much Cynthia!
