    What areas of your home do you need to reset? Next i'm going to do my dreaded etsy cupboard it's madness in there!
    Happy weekend everyone! Hope you've all had a good week 🥰 I have a new day in the life video for you tomorrow to start your Sunday off nice and cosy ☕️💛

    I minimized my closet to only owning 40 clothing pieces, it makes chosing what to wear very easy.
    I have ALL notifications shut off on my phone. I check it from time to time instead. I found the constant noise made me anxious. I also removed all social media apps. I have to actually log in which causes me to be more intentional about the time I spend online.
    I did a no-buy 2019, a low-buy 2020 and am now doing a no-buy 2021. It gives me a clearer definition of needs vs wants and gives me a better perspective.
    Resetting the home at night was a game changer for me when I started doing it. It is now a part of my daily routine and makes mornings so much easier!!

    Im not a naturally tidy person, I would love to be... But I'm not. So I have to focus a lot on bringing less into our home, decluttering that which we do own and resetting the spaces that just won't stay tidy. It's constant but the more I release from our home the better I feel

    Love the relaxed vibe of this video :) whilst I want to be more minimal and create easy routines, I also want to work smarter, not harder. That's why I do my dishes in the evening and put them away the next morning whilst waiting for my coffee to boil. Letting them airdry saves me a lot of time and a soggy towel :)

    I’ve given up a handbag and now use a wicker basket, I think it’s great.. just a few basics inside and then plenty of space for shopping x

    It’s so nice seeing your videos and your Instagram. I’ve been struggling recently and seeing the things you post has made me feel better. Your Instagram posts have given me a lot of happiness that I haven’t felt in a while. Thank you❤️

    I've stopped using a purse and I just use my phone as my wallet because I only have one card that I use. The only time I take a bag is to carry my shopping bags, and even then it just has my hand sanitizer, mask, key and a spork as well as the shopping bags. My wardrobe is quite minimal at the moment. I write myself a little to do list every day so that I feel like I've done something productive in terms of my home or my self care practice 🙂 Echo is getting big now and he is just so cute 😍

    You have such a calming voice! Love the tips, too. My next area to focus on is my junk cabinets. I've organized them once a few months ago, but it didn't stick and they need to be done with a little more thought this time.

    • @Livingthelifeyoulove
      @Livingthelifeyoulove  3 года назад +1

      Thank you so much! 😊 Oooh yes, we all have those kind of places! They start to get out of control and you shut the door as quick as you can so nothing falls out 🙈😂 it'll be so worth it!

    Lovely ideas, however I find that stuffing my pockets creates poor lines in my outfit, so I have a small cross body bag to hold my phone, cash, keys and mask. Simples.

    • @Livingthelifeyoulove
      @Livingthelifeyoulove  3 года назад

      That’s a great idea, I do the same on days where I don’t want bulky pockets ☺️

    Hi hun, just stumbled on your channel .... probably because I've been watching alot of minimalist videos lately ;) Anyway koodoos to you, your list has many that are different from the standard ones I"ve seen. I stopped your video and adjusted my notifications on the spot lol. I did have my phone on silent while at home for the last while ... mostly because, since my doggie is now a senior different noises seem to affect him - the sounds that come from my phone make him shake terribly (I keep changing the sound but didn't help). Love the idea to 'carry less'! For me it's my art room (14' x 24') that I'm having trouble to clear out and minimize...good grief, I get overwhelmed when I go in and have tidied many times, but I know things have to go ;) Big Canadian hugs, Sunshine
