I've Changed |shopaholic luxury minimalism minimalist designer collection haul unboxing decluttering

- Happy 2022! Apologies for my voice in this video, my throat had been sore for days. In this video, I revealed why I transitioned from a shopaholic to a luxury minimalist. If you'd followed me from the beginning, you'd know I used to do luxury unboxing and designer haul videos (I know right?!). It might not exactly be a shopping addiction, but I wasn't at all intentional with my purchases, which led to many shopping mistakes and expensive regrets. Fast forward to now, I'm decluttering more than I'm buying, and I'm at peace with my curated luxury collection. Many of you have asked me how I am able to stay so consistent with low-buy and no-buy, so I thought it'd be useful to share with you the reasons for my transformation. Truthfully, I might have stopped shopping (excessively), but my life is more abundant than ever xx

Thanks for watching the video about the reasons why I embraced luxury minimalism. Never had I thought decluttering and low-buy would have bought me so much joy. If you want to build the perfect minimalist wardrobe, be good with money, and avoid FOMO, luxury minimalism is the answer xx
Someone once taught me, "If you are smart, you learn from your mistakes. If you are really smart, you learn from mistakes of others." Thanks for sharing 💕💕
Love that! xx
Very smart advice😘
“Living below my means is a form of self care.” This is a beautiful statement! 💜
Thank you xx
This video is SO refreshing to hear from someone who CAN afford to splurge but chooses to do it much less often. Thank you for realizing that materials are not everything.
Thank you! xx
I'd rather carry a cheaper bag to a job I want to do, then an expensive one to a job I wish I didn't have to do. Loved it! So well put😆 I have to say it again, your videos helped me last year (already a new year, wow!) to stop with the luxury nonsense. Small sustainable brands for me now or second hand. And I'm slowly, slowly getting out of debt. I have a job I love, but in a place I dislike, so I can relate to your smart statement 😉
Sending you lots of positive energy! We'll be cheering you on to being debt free xx
"They just became another thing in the background." Yes ! I completely agree. I had 19 bags and was looking forward to 20, and then 30, and fortunately I snapped out of it and sold 14 of them and am down to 5.
I would love to keep 5 too.What did keep and what colors?Happy New Year ♥️👩🦰♥️
Wow! I have 17. I admire you for being able to downsize to only 5. I’ll be working on getting there myself. I have gotten to the point of not buying anything these days.
I share this sentiment completely. For a while I had around fifteen bags - but was, actually and realistically, only using about three or four of them. When I found that I had to remind myself to use the others, I realized that I was holding on to things that I don’t actually need but don’t want to let go of because of whatever reason. So now I’m working to give away or sell those that I don’t need - I’ve boxed them up and gotten them ready, and I am down to four bags. As Eileen mentioned, it’s actually liberating to have very few … because now what I have I look forward to using without having to force myself to do it!
Wow that's impressive, Gary! Thank you for sharing xx
That’s great Gary! Huge congrats 🎉
Keep up the great work, advice and encouragement for all of us to join in on Luxury Minimalism. I’ve sold most of my collection during the last 4-5 months and have a few more pieces that I’m thinking about selling. I can’t tell you how freeing it is both mentally and financially. I’m actually disgusted at how these fashion houses keep increasing the cost of these bags. Truth be told, the pandemic was a blessing in disguise. It truly put things into perspective and made us realize how ridiculous we’ve become with massive consumerism. Cheers 🥂 to a New Year with less stuff, more experiences and time spent with loved ones.
I agree! While 2020 was definitely a stressful year, it changed the way I look at shopping and spending a whole lot xx
Great points!! Financial freedom is the greatest feeling in the world. No handbag can compete with that. I've collected bags in the past and haven't sold any so I absolutely do not need any more bags or luxury goods in my lifetime lol. Live below your means and you can't go wrong.
So true. Time is the most valuable good we have and beats any material thing. Noone lies on their deathbed thinking, "Oh, I wish I had bought another Classic Flap. :( ", but plenty of people pray for a bit more time.
Freedom is the ultimate luxury xx
I salute you and totally agree with you for what you said .. I seriously feel very stressful when I watched those tons and tons of luxury stuff unboxing every week especially during this pandemic time and so many people are dying from losing job, not able to meet their end of month and etc but there are vloggers out there doing luxuries unboxing every vlog, this is really so unhealthy and not helping at all!!
Agree. I bet a lot of them don’t keep it. They either sell it off or return!
@@xmochix604 or they only wear them the time of an Instagram photo or display them in their huge walking closet on their youtube videos...
So glad you found my video relatable xx
Having collected Chanel and selling them off, I agree with Eileen. It’s stressful having so many bags on your shelves. I have been aggressively saving money. For a 40 year old, networth is over 1.5 million. :) All due to saving and investing money. I want to be wealthy and have freedom as well. Btw, I still drive my old car too. I may not have the super nicest stuff, but I have fat accounts, food to eat, a very nicely decorate home, travels, family, and health. It’s all I need. 💗🎉🎊 My plan this year is to save money + Invest twice as much as I did in 2021 and I’m ready!
ETA: I do have a few Chanel. I just don’t buy excessively. I buy one, sell another. It’s how I do it.
Congratulations 🎊
Aww that’s amazing! I’m going to do the same thing wish me luck
@@noyyuniar6445 you got this!! 💗💗
Just wanted to add, I am not depriving myself. I still have a few Chanel bags. I just manage my money and don’t buy excessively. One in and one out is what I do when it comes to buying.
Congratulations, goals 👏🏾
Absolutely love that! Thank you for sharing xx
As someone who’s a recovering shopaholic, literally an actual addict, I find your channel really does keep me in check! I used to spend thousands a month specifically on luxury bags to a point I was living above my means, I finally had my “enough is enough” moment and honestly it was the best thing to happen to me. Less is more and I truthfully don’t find the high I would get from luxury shopping as much as I get a high from saving and mindfully buying ANYTHING. We need more people like you in this world to give us a realistic stand point to life and finances. Keep up the excellent work! 💗
I'm so happy to hear you've found the joy of owning less! xx
I changed my shopping life because of you, I already told you here about it! And I save a loooot of money and I have a freedom inside me ~ I have also a handbag channel but I do my best to do a minimum collection
Yay! Thank you! xx
I prefer to watch your videos over luxury unboxings and am very grateful that you are creating these videos and inspiring others to embrace luxury minimalism. I find myself nodding my head and even saying “yes!” out loud! I can relate to so much of what you are saying.
I'm so glad! Thank you so much xx
Happy New Year! Great video as usual. I would add that your comments apply to all of us, even when we don’t buy luxury items. Even if purchasing things at a lower price point it all adds up to thousands of dollars in the long run. That is money we could have saved towards our future.
So true
Every little helps, for sure xx
Honestly, your channel for me is a tool to balance my lifestyle. I know I love luxury stuffs, and "luckily" I'm not a person who has money to buy all I want at once ---I have to work hard first! 😃 Your videos are constant reminder for me, to learn to be happy and content with what I have. Beside, same like you, when I see my handbag collections, I have enough handbags for any occations.
Btw, I agree to wear more low key handbag to office. For about a year, I change my work bag from LV Delightful into an Fjallraven Kanken messenger bag. I know it's far from luxury, but 'm so happy with my decision. It's durable and fit my laptop. 😊
It's such an honour to hear that, thank you! xx
Your videos are so good because you express your thoughts and reasoning so clearly - no wasted words - lots of wisdom. 🙏🏼💙✝️
Thank you xx
Great info video. I am sure many people will become minimalist with these new price increase in 2022. There will be another price increase soon and the cost of living is extremely high right now. Hopefully many of us could make better decision with our money, including myself. Happy new year Eileen.
Happy 2022! xx
I find your outlook refreshing! If I'm honest, I'm starting to get very tired of some of these RUclipsrs who are doing unboxings constantly, the overconsumption has reached the offensive point. I don't think any of those folks actually ever enjoy their purchases or fully appreciate them.
It was a revelation to me -- enjoying what I have a lot more when I stopped buying mindlessly 💛
As someone who loves luxury but always was a minimalist in my approach to it, I really appreciate how grounded you are and your videos. I think you have an important message, practical tips, and thoughtful antidotes. Thank you for sharing and happy 2022! May you have health and happiness this year and beyond.
Wishing you a wonderful 2022 too xx
OMG!! You are very realistic. It is true. I have an obsession with handbags but do not even have the place to wear them. Nowadays, depending where you live, it is very scary to walk around with a very expensive handbags. It makes me happy to wear my handbags even though no one at my work understand them. It is a self fulfillment. It is a cure for depression.
I love your channel and your philosophy on what is important! I am with you 100 percent. A person can only use so much, therefore less is truly better! I also believe with the economy being the way it is, it is a good time to save some money and perhaps declutter the things that are not necessary in your life.❤️
Totally agree! It’s always good to stay grounded. Hopefully the economy will recover soon xx
I can so relate to this video and your comments. Especially about what is really happiness and luxury. And watching your son and what really makes him happy is the time you spend together and being present in the moment with him. That he learns not by your words but your actions. I also have bought a lot of luxury items and in reality there is a time when enough is just enough. We don’t need excess.
Will keep supporting your channel! xx
I am shopaholic now(FOMO and all that stuff), You help me change it. I agree with all things you say in videos, but in concious mind, need fix my subconcious now. Kisses from Poland. Nice job!! Thank You!!
“Not because I need to, because I want to” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you xx
Your vlog changed how I approach to the shopping. I was shopping because I was covering my deppression and anxiety. I deal now with the problem. I spent over the years thousands of pounds instead to save them. 2022 I am planning shopping free. No more prisoner in my own skin.
Love that! Wishing you a smooth no-buy year in 2022 xx
Hello Eileen, I agree with you on focusing on what really matters in life. Luxury is nice but I don’t enjoy watching these channels where people unbox one thing after another. It reminds me of a child holding a delicious treat in front of another child and saying, ‘look how lucky I am to have this treat and it is mine!’ Most people cannot afford luxury. I am reminded of the lengths people will go to as in looting stores to resell these coveted items. What does it say about us as a culture? Anyway, happy new year! You are such a sweet lady and so pretty, too 😀
Happy 2022 xx
you are a breathe of fresh air. thank you again, Eileen.
Thank you xx
I was put off initially by the change but was still curious so I didn’t unsubscribe 🤣 the last few months I evolved when it came to spending frivolously. Mindful spending/spending less on luxury goods is definitely the smarter and peaceful way of living
Way to go glad you stick around 🤣
@@xmochix604 haha me too. It’s really a change in mindset. When the blinders are off , one realizes how stressful all that “collecting” and “accumulating” is …no matter how pretty it looks on the shelf. I rather sit pretty in real appreciating asset accounts
Glad you like the new direction of this channel! Let's cheer each other on, it really is so liberating to want to have less xx
Your personal finance and life videos are very much appreciated!
Thank you xx
I like your content it is great video to share to people who need to learn before making mistakes. As we always wanting more and more non stop so I found Buddhism teaching has help me to understand more about life balance and happiness.
Blessing you and family 🙏 happiness
Such a great video! Thank you for sharing❤️ The key to happiness is being grateful for what you already have🙌
Love this Eileen! You hit the nail on the head. It’s so much better to have a few treasured items that you use and love than to waste money on multiples or keeping up with others. I have bought and sold a number of bags and have realized the same thing. Happy for you! Happy New Year!
Happy 2022 xx
I’m glad i found your channel. It’s so relatable . I was going down a rabbit hole . SMH
I’m really glad my content helpful ❤️
When one is limited to where you can go & what you can do because of what one owns & wears, then luxury becomes a self-imposed prison. I witnessed this firsthand in my circle. People who get upset when their expensive designer clothes & bags get dirty or damaged so they stop doing normal, everyday activity with their families to bond (cooking & eating together, example). They worry of being robbed so they just stay at certain places and don't explore the beauty of the world. They are concerned that their expensive items will stolen at home when they are away, and so they spend more money on "protecting valuables". I even observed that empathy for other people die in their obsession of accumulating so much personal luxuries in life. Vanity & selfishness which are the roots of narcissism. What's more, these things/inanimate objects that one invests their emotions & money on cannot help you when you are in dire trouble or if your life is in danger but they serve as a reminder on how they have become "idols" to love and worship but they are only objects that don't love you back in return .
How true! I don't want to be upset if I loose a scarf or if my pants get dirty. I don't want to be upset with my guests if they break a glass or a plate!!! I only spend on things the amount that I can afford to "loose"
I definitely remember the time when someone nearly spilled some hot soup on my Chanel bag in a restaurant, my heart stopped for 10 seconds. Having too many expensive things definitely can start to feel like a burden xx
I too stop designer shopping completely in the last two year and will continue this path..I will use what I had remaining and enjoy them everyday to the fullest 😇
One thing I learned from young was to never spend as if money would always be coming in. We always need to save for a rainy day as things do happen in life that we’re not prepared for. My dad was never a well man but in his forties he was diagnosed with heart disease and eventually couldn’t work. He received long term disability benefits but it certainly was not the money he was used to making. My mother had to work otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to stay in our home. In my early twenties just one year after having my first full time job, I got very ill and was hospitalized and was in and out of hospital having surgeries over a three year period. I had bought a car prior to this and had to keep up the payments. Luckily I received long term disability benefits as well but had I been living on my own I don’t know how I would have managed and would have had to move back in with my parents. We were fortunately not a family who were big spenders and were very good with our money. Years later my husband and I are in a much better situation than my parents were but we still think the same. We certainly can afford to buy luxuries but we also are very practical and have been putting money into investments rather than just spending aimlessly. I like to think of myself as a luxury minimalist as well. I still love to buy beautiful things but they are always well thought out and not over abundant. As usual Eileen an amazing and insightful video.🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this, Debbie! I always hearing your story xx
@@ColourfulNoir it’s nice to find like minded people and share our stories.🥰
Love watching your videos. I've been debt free for years, now a stay-at-home mom. I've collected 30+ designer handbags, got into luxury jewelry (VCA, Cartier,..). Over indulged the last 2 years, even got my dream bag (Hermes Kelly). After getting the bag, I realized that's not my lifestyle anymore. I had accumulated so much, bags were sitting on the shelf never used, jewelry never worn, clothes still had tags. Started a minimalist approach after watching your videos. Downsized my collection, sold the Hermes and most of the bags at a loss, expensive lesson learned. Now only keep 10 bags maximum. Being more mindful of what I buy, appreciating what I have. Instead of spending $ on material things, to save and invest. Trying to live below my means. Focus more on self care, my health, and time with loved ones. =)
I have to say, having finally reached a place where I can afford the latest it bag or thing, has been somewhat stressful as I’ve found myself wanting things that cost more and more. I’ve always said, my goal is to be content with what I have and focus on living below my means but I’ve also always loved nice well made things. Your channel is where I turn whenever I want something new but I know I don’t need it. Hearing you speak about time and financial freedom reminds me what’s important. So thank you, Eileen. You have made such a positive impact on me in the short time I’ve been subscribed to you. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I feel so honoured to have made some positive changes in your life xx
Happy New Year to you, Eileen! I always enjoy watching your videos. Stay true to yourself.
Thank you so much, Donna xx
Being a luxury minimalist has been the best choice for me! I have a small wardrobe, handbag, jewelry and shoe collection. Becoming a minimalist in all parts of my life has brought me so much contentment and now I focus on activities and experiences that do not focus around acquiring more.
Your videos consistently are a breath of fresh air. Every time I fall into the urge to make a spontaneous luxury purchase (aka while passively online shopping), I watch one of your videos to remind myself of everything you mentioned in this one.
Aiming to do a low-buy year in 2022. And you weren’t kidding - selling things is such a pain 😂
Glad my videos are helpful xx
Thank you for sharing your story. For 2022, I am doing a low buy year. I would not call myself a minimalist but I am not planning on spending much time at the mall. I am still happy for people who do unboxings and I can watch without immediately putting things on my wishlist. I for instance I am in love with a LV bag from the mens collection but I am loving it from afar. For 2022, I plan on getting one handbag towards the end of the year and a pair of sunglasses and that’s it. You look lovely today btw. Happy New Year!!
That sounds like a very curated wish list, love it! xx
100% agree! I embraced it four years ago and the impact on my net worth is incredible. The truth is ‘where are we carrying all these bags to?’. I realized that I didn’t want to carry designer bags to work lest they think I am overpaid. When you are a parent, you tend to reach for functional backpacks and cross body bags that you don’t mind getting wet, scratched or scribbled on. So these expensive beautiful bags are just sitting on the shelf like art. Instead of the money being invested to multiply. It is also a big lie that these are investment bags. I have sold many bags and lose all the time even when the bag is in excellent shape. Only very rare Hermes bags appreciate in value. You are on the right track. Pls continue to stay true to yourself 😘😘
Thank you so much for sharing! Luxury minimalism has completely transformed my life and the way I think, there's no turning back lol xx
I loved the way you talked about how your son has changed your outlook on life. also very funny how your husband had wanted you to shop a bit as you were changing!
thank you posting these really positive messages and being honest about your own journey.
Glad you liked my video xx
Words of Wisdom! Funny how Age teaches us Life Lessons, isn't it? You're right about Minimalism! I'm 72 & my husband & I are doing some real "Clear-outs" of alot of things we've kept over the years! Best that we do it BEFORE our Children have to later! The Pandemic has taught us ALL lessons on what is Really Important in Life! During the height of the Pandemic, I found myself less drawn to the sites that merely focused on Luxury Purchasing & Collecting of Handbags, Jewelry & Clothes! It seemed so inappropriate to Focus on that when ppl were dying in virtually every Country from the same thing! Time spent making Memories with those you do have is the Best "Collection" you could make!
Definitely! I now value experiences and learning way more than things xx
I love how you framed financial freedom as self care! I’m new to luxury and am really drawn to the idea of luxury minimalism… investing infrequently in classic pieces that will withstand the test of time. Thank you for your channel!
Thank you xx
Hi Eileen, I have seen your very 1st video and since then I followed you. I love and personally owned a “few”pieces of luxury items and they are very well used. I’m glad of the direction of your video on luxury minimalism. You jus made me feel I’m a blessed person💝
I'm so glad to hear that, Maria xx
thank you so much for your videos! im 27 and this is a pivotal point in my life to hear these things you are preaching. there was a point where all these hauls were making me feel like i didnt have enough, when in fact i do! i am not only embracing luxury minimalism, but i am applying the mindset to all areas of my life too.
Wonderful! I'm now very intentional with everything I buy (including inexpensive everyday items), and it's truly life changing xx
I love your channel 💖💖💖
Thankyou for sharing your wisdom ✨😘
Thank you so much xx
True words, Eileen! 👍👍👍👍👍
I joined your channel only once I realized that you were NOT unboxing things anymore on a regular basis. Embracing luxury minimalism IS the way to go!
Thank you so much for your support xx
Thank you for inspiring me! Sold over 25 luxury purses!!!! Now I’m changing my chanel towards luxury minimalist! You are my inspiration!
Love it!! Well done for selling 25 handbags! xx
@@ColourfulNoir I can’t even believe it!!!!!!!
Thank you for being direct and your honest thoughts. I, too completely agreed with you. Sometime less is more. Knowing your capability and limit is freedom. I bought my first Chanel bag since 1987 and have over hundreds of luxury bags. Today I declutter and minimize my collection to just a few. Still a good number of bags but just the best of the best and classic enough to last a life time.
Lovely video Eileen. I really enjoy your messages and content. Glad I found your channel!
It's lovely to have you here too, Andrea xx
You are one of the only RUclipsrs who make sense and not a slave to the latest. I love your channel! =D Enjoy life with things we want, but limit yourself with that. It's not that serious. Keeping my eye simpler adds so much more happiness. Plus, I'd rather go on a memorable luxury vacation than chase an Hermes bag. lol
Thank you so much xx
I love your luxury minimalism approach. I have a few designer bags and it’s not in my budget to constantly buy bags. Plus, I have found the bags I love and very few others appeal to me enough to actually purchase. Right now I’m focused on adding a few pieces of fine jewelry to my wardrobe. I do need to replace a few articles of clothing and my thought process is “does this look like something Eileen would wear?” because I love your classic style.
Aww thank you! xx
I appreciate the fact that you point out that part of the reason is that you actually have a really good collection of designer items. Everyone's wishlists are going to vary, but you more or less have something of most cult favourites - Hermes, Dior, Chanel, LV etc, and maybe you today would be perfectly happy to not have any of them, but I think in part your contentment comes from in fact having these things and valuing them.
Agree! I think the fact that I know I have my dream pieces, helps me to stay content xx
Thanks for sharing Eileen! I love that you can really appreciate these luxury items but you're still grounded enough to understand that at the end of the day, it's still just stuff you don't really need
It's lovely to have nice things but life is much more than just shopping and accumulating bags and shoes xx
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience in the past! I listened and watching your videos often. 😊 I really like it! Great advice, the key to a happiness is to appreciate everything that we have.
Thank you! xx
Excellent approach! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! xx
Being able to live below your means is true luxury.
Agree 100%! xx
I feel that your changes make you happier and calmer. As a matter of fact, when you stop crazily craving for the next stuff, and the next stuff, and the next stuff, you kind of find peace in a way, and everything gets more real and authentic ! Happy new year my dear all the best to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy 2022 ! Thank you so much xx
Happy 2022 to you and your family 😍😍😍
Happy 2022 to you too xx
I LOVE THIS VIDEO AND YOUR OVERALL PHILOSOPHY. That's why I sold all my Hermes bags. I don't need to be or feel someone who I am not. I love the craftmanship, but NOT AT ANY COST.
Your videos are always so calming to watch, they are much needed 😌❤️
Glad you like them! xx
Thank you for being you!! And doing all these videos! I’ve found them helpful to not overdo my luxury shopping. I’m striving to achieve financial freedom soon~!! ☺️
Please keep us updated about your financial freedom journey xx
@@ColourfulNoir thank you for replying!! It motivates me even more ☺️☺️☺️
You make some wonderful points in this video, we all need to enjoy what we already have instead of chasing the next fleeting exciting feeling 💕
Happy new year 🎆🎈🎊 girl .
Now when I get a luxury item from my husband as a gift
The joy lasts much longer than when I was shopping 🛍 like a sick person .
I really turned it down, your videos and therapy helped me out big time.
Happy 2022! xx
Thank you for sharing. I am entering this phase of my life.
You got this! xx
You are the reason I have turned to luxury minimalism! Thank you!!! xoxo
Honestly I'm so flattered! Thank you xx
Happy 2022!! Thank you for continuing to be yourself and share your experiences and perspective. I always look forward to your content because it's relative and also, it's an important message for others to hear before getting caught-up in the many unboxing videos and feeling left out.
Thank you so much!! xx
I so love your videos, Eileen!!! It's a breath of fresh air in a world where unboxing weekly on Instagram and RUclips is the new normal. I am just starting my collection and sometimes, it's hard when I see almost everyone being able to afford chanel, dior, lv on a weekly basis. It makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong or not making enough lol but truth be told, I don't have a credit card, no debt but I have saved money instead. This year, I can already afford a Chanel mini flap without putting a dent on my savings. But I'm not buying one because I don't intend to work forever. I'm instead reinvesting it to live comfortably.
I actually kept watching your videos because you stopped having shopping as your main content. I don't own any expensive designer bag or shoes only minor ones like Longchamp or Coach (2nd hand!) but that's ok! I buy quality in my price range and adopt the minimalist approach: quality over quantity and wearing everything I own because I love all the pieces! I always enjoy your well prepared videos and the way you express yourself!!!
That really means so much to me, thank you! xx
I'm so glad I found your channel. It was a recommendation from someone in a rep sub on Reddit, and I have been watching your videos for 2 months now. I enjoy every single one you upload. The ambiance of your videos is just so relaxed, and the content is incredibly relevant. Happy new year to you and your family, I'm looking forward to following your journey!
Welcome aboard! Thank you for your support xx
Happy New Year Eileen! I'm working my way to luxury minimalism. It is so tempting to keep on buying. So I really appreciate your videos - they remind me to stay the course toward minimalism and enjoy what I have already, rather than constantly wanting more. Thank you - you really are thé voice of reason and maturity in this space.
That means so much, thank you xx
So refreshing! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it! xx
I love your videos so much, they’ve made me think so differently - I need to use and enjoy what I already have ❤️
Another great video! Thank you. This year I plan on doing a no spend year and really save hard. Thanks Eileen 😊
You can do it! Sending you a lot of positive energy xx
Great talk. I believe I am now also a luxury minimalist😍 appreciate precious experience and time with family more☺️ and the price increases...really turned me down on luxury items! Thanks for that lol🤣
Love that! xx
Well said my friend! Going to follow minimalism myself this year. More power to you.
Sending you loads of positive energy xx
I can't value your chanel and content enough. Agree 300% .😊
the bigger problem is some people even dont enjoy the shopping,the force themselves.
Thank you xx
Thank you for this video 🙏🏻 This is exactly what I need.
I ❤ your channel and you have definitely helped me. Used to feel I was less than because I couldn't purchase designer handbags whenever I felt the need. After I purchased my one and only Chanel handbag. I said goodbye to luxury shop for awhile. Because if I spend that kind of money again it will be for a one and only Hermes handbag. Then I will be done purchasing luxury handbags.
Kudos to you for being intentional xx
Thanks for the video! I’m aspiring to be more of a minimalist. Hopefully will keep to that resolution this year!
You can do it! xx
I love your videos! I am graduating and will start working in my profession this year. I will make sure to continue saving and using what I have before spending.
Wonderful! You're at such a good place to be intentional. It'll save you a lot of money and heartache xx
i totally agree with you! I'm like the past you right now, I need to clean up my things, I was proud I downsized from 53 luxury handbags to 20 last year, but now im back to 22 smh . my dream size is about 10 handbags or at least down to 15 this year. wish me luck!
All the best! 53 to 22 is still a massive achievement though so well done xx
Happy mew year, Eileen! I am also into luxury minimalism. I have made same mistakes just like you have and now I am getting out of the declutter. I am just one person who repeats wearing same clothes, shoes and bags. I am not an octopus who can carry multiple bags. Just a few nice stuff will do and I do not need more as I know I will always go back to my favorite things. I am buying a crossbody bag soon as I sold all my old crossbody bags that show wear and tear. I buy what I need in my life but now I buy very slowly to make sure I only buy something I really need and will enjoy everyday.
It's really nice to have a small collection of everything you love, rather than a big wardrobe of things you don't reach for xx
This shopaholic really needed to hear this 🙋🏻♀️. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! xx
Happy New Year, Eileen! I truly love your RUclips channel. It’s the most inspiring I’ve found and having your videos every Monday morning helps me to start the week with the purpose of not shopping just for the sake of shopping, but look around and prioritize other things - even a walk in the park can bring more joy than spending my paycheck on another handbag (it used to be the opposite, so that’s why I am so thankful every time I think differently than I used to). Keep up the good work and have a lovely first week of the year ♥️✨! Sending a big hug from Spain.
It really means a lot to have your support and to be able to bring some healthy messages to this space xx
Love your videos and Happy new year to you and your family as well! Your videos are really helpful as I am trying to be more minimalist
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you xx
Amen Eileen🙏
You’re a great motivation while I’m working on my online store!
I’m ready to let go💫
Happy New Year Eileen! Your channel helps keeping us realistic in a luxury world where everyone seem to unbox luxury goods every week. I love your channel, old subscriber here (since you reached 3k) :) it helps to view luxury from a different perspective and spend wisely my money on items I can wear for many years to come and not worry about the latest trend or Black Friday deal.
Aww thank you so so much for your continuing support! xx
I have learned to value and appreciate the freedom I currently have these days. I’ve actually stopped shopping. I feel at peace.
Being selective feels so liberating xx
Happy new year Eileen. Good to be back watching your videos again
Lovely to have you here too xx
Appreciating what we have! Yes girl!
Gratitude is the key to happiness :) xx
I've 'only' got 3 luxury bags - a Chanel WoC, an Alma BB and a YSL camera bag (all saved and budgeted for - thankfully before the crazy price increases!!) . Although there are many bags I admire and could probably afford, I don't have any desire to own them and would rather appreciate and use what I have. For me, working towards paying my mortgage off early and having savings feels far more rewarding than having the latest 'it bag'. Looking forward to your new direction 😀 Happy New Year 🎉 PS I'm.Coach all the way for everyday bags - and they make me feel just as happy if I'm honest 😍
Financial freedom comes first before any luxury bags for sure xx
Its a wonderful video! Thanks for sharing! 🌻
Amazing video, Eileen! I really needed to hear this! ✨👌
Glad it was helpful! xx
Happy New Year Eileen 🎉

God bless and stay safe!

Great message as always. Perfect jump start for the new year.
Happy 2022 xx
Loved this video. Honestly you can see it’s an addiction with so many people. Nice to have nice things but that’s not what life is all about. 👍😀
Absolutely!! You've put it perfectly xx
Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for your support xx
