Kyra, I would like to thank you for your amazing content you provide us. As someone who has been battling depression, anxiety, and borderline hoarding- due to the traumatic loss of my fiancé 2 years ago- I cannot elaborate enough on how your videos have helped me. Your tips and “clean with me” videos have helped me feel happier enough to get up and clean, and enjoy my tidy space. Helping a depressed person is a wonderful gift.. so I would like to thank you, once again🙂
Hi Jamie. I’m 52 ans have been dealing with sadness and depression for about 30 years. Trying to live more minimally and in a tidy environment helps me a lot. If I may I’d like to offer some additional advise, stop watching the news everyday, there’s no sense exposing yourself to bad news which will only make you feel worse. Get off or greatly reduce time on social media. Seeing how fabulous everyone else’s lives are does help your mental state and self esteem. Lastly walk in nature. Be it a park near your house or a hike in the country. Get out of the house and take the time to experience nature. Good luck to you!
Makeup tip: use your bronzer or blush as an eyeshadow! Simplifies SO much your makeup and really unifies your whole face and makes it look more natural😉
I just want to thankyou. You’ve changed my life completely, I’m now a vegan and an aspiring minimalist! I’ve also saved nearly a grand since I started watching your videos. Thankyou so much kyra ❤️
Britt _ I made a separate account for savings and put a set amount of what I made into there right at the start of the month. I also cut down on spending massively as I used to spend about £60/£70 shopping every month for clothes/makeup and now it’s about £10 if that. I also stopped buying things such as coffees from Starbucks as they’re very overpriced so I just make things like that at home. Anything I’ve had spare by the end of the month I put in there too. Hope this helps?
Kyra, your videos have helped me immensely with my anxiety and depression! You have a way of sayin things that stick and make an impact on me and many others! One of your videos talked about how you clean every day (or something like that) and it never even dawned on me to do so, been making my life and decluttering much easier!
It's so funny how much I love your posts Kyra. I am a teacher and much older than you (46!) but you have the best advice for me! I am always trying to find ways to make my home AND classroom more minimalistic. I teach resource for grades five and six, which is for students who need extra help in reading, writing, and math. Keeping the classroom decluttered and prioritizing our tasks is helping my students focus and make a lot more progress. Turning off my non school related notifications was something simple that had never crossed my mind before. I am starting to think-what would Kyra do? LOL Thanks for all of these helpful vlogs and I love the frequent uploads. The story about the crazy neighbor was THE BEST !!! I would never acknowledge her again either. It's not about forgiveness-it's about CRAZY and there's enough of that out there without purposefully letting it into our lives. From Your Number One Teacher Fan!
I am OBSESSED with your videos and you have definitely changed my life for the better! I’ve bought most of your recommendations (your comb, earrings, dryer balls, necklace, etc) and I can’t wait for the video of your reusable pads so I can feel confident to buy them too 🙈😅 keep doing you Kyra, I’m sticking for the long run❤️
Davit Aslamazishvili she paid me nothing. She never does paid sponsorships, in case this is your your first video. Learn to have more respect for others in order to receive respect.
@@tatimartinez468 Well that was obviously a joke it was just a little bit funny how you wrote that comment saying that ur doing everything like she said buying this and that now you are defending her and i got no idea why i dont think that i said something bad about u or her u are talking about me showing some respect why is that? i dont know anyone of u u might deserve it u might not the only one person i respect between our trio is me since i know what kinda person i am and i know that i would never allow myself to offend women so calm down
I lived without a TV for three years and I agree. I liked having my living room not oriented towards a TV. I do have one now, but I bought it one to be able to play games on a PS4 and two, I can cast my computer to it so I can do editing on a bigger screen. But not having it for years had me in the habit of not using it regularly which is a great habit to keep.
I have a tv and I don’t use it anymore. Even my daughter doesn’t watched with on it as well. She loves reading books after school and me, I am so caught up with work and family time and I don’t have extra time to sit and watch tv.
I think Old Navy flip flops are good quality, at least for indoor use, which is what I use them for 99% of the time. I bought five pairs at the $1 sale a couple of years ago and I’ve only used one pair, because it’s still in good condition. It was just $5 total, but there was no point in buying five pairs. Maybe if I used them to walk around outside they’d wear out sooner.
Love your videos!! I got lucky with dollar tree dishes lol.... I purchased about 50-60 plates(The turqouise color ones) when I got married 5 years ago and we still use them... I passed some of them to family as well..
Love your videos. Just a quick thought. Keep your health ins card in your wallet. If you are in an accident and hospital is treating you while you are unable to respond your insurance card is a huge help to you and your care givers. Its called a "wallet autopsy"
Great video! I recently went shopping for a new office chair. (I bought one last June for less than $100). Needless to say you get what you pay for, especially if it is something you use alot. I found the one I wanted for $300 at Office Depot. I came home and looked at the reviews and decided it is the chair for me, however I really didn't want to pay $300 for it. I then looked on Amazon, they had it for $200, Office Depot not only price matched but let me use a 20% coupon. I walked out paying less than $200, including warranty and assembly! Never purchase on impulse!
Not all stores will let you return if you only have a photo of the receipt. I tried that once with Walmart and they wouldn’t let me unless I had the physical copy
DIY CRYSTAL it is becoming more popular but if an emailed receipt is not an option, I wouldn’t recommend getting rid of your physical receipt unless you know the stores policy if they would accept a photo of it
Vanessa Tucker yes that thing they accept this. But like you said every time check the policy Now the technology it’s really advanced now you can use too phone number, for return items
Yeah you are absolutely right ... I have been living without TV since 2017. And now it's really boring to watch TV for me. .. Actually it's not that difficult to ditch TV.
I haven't watched tv in over 2 years and don't miss it. Olive oil is another good one for hair.👍👍Also, if you air dry your clothes, it helps with humidity in the winter. And good for your houseplants Kyra😊
Hi Kyra, I love your videos and you inspire me a lot, I rarely follow RUclipsrs but you are one I do because I love your content. But I have to say that from the point of someone studying cosmetology and really interested in beauty products, I have to tell you that natural isn't always better. Don't misunderstand me, I'm a huge fan of natural beauty but you have to know what products are you putting in and how
Great tips. I was once warned never to pay rent (not talking mortgage just rent) ahead of time. It’s great to secure the money ahead and keep it ready but not to actually hand it over. Heaven forbid there’s a fire or some reason you need to leave immediately you want that money in your own possession for whatever living expenses you may need. Also you’d collect any interest vs sitting in your landlords account collecting interest. Just something I never really thought about.
I actually thought I have to carry my insurance card with me in case of an accident so the emergency staff could find out what insurance I am on. No idea.
Also to save money get rid of cable you watch only a few channels anyway. And get Lowcast if you have a fire stick. Has the basic cable channels and it’s Live TV!!
White bath linens + oxy clean = game changer! I buy all white linen for oxy clean reasons, they just look cleaner. I have t-shirts for my hair and cotton pads for my face, so I don't care if they get dye or makeup on them. Have you tried oxy clean?
Yea I try my best not to use chemical cleaners :( when it comes to whiten my whites (clothes wise) I use vinegar,lemon and water. That method works best when it sits in the sun for awhile 👍🏼
Not me unfortunately :( one time the flip flop part (the part that goes between your toes) ripped right off while I was out walking around 🤦🏻♀️ it was so embarrassing. And that wasn’t the first time that had happened to me.
Do you have a video on how to go about things that have sentimental meaning to you? It’s so hard for me to get rid of things that were given to me by someone special to me!
A good tip for coins is converting the change in your wallet to cash consistently (every week, or every month, etc). This way collecting coins in your wallet lowkey motivates you cus you know at the end of the week it’ll turn to actual dollar bills :)
I disagree on the old navy slippers. When I bought mine it lasted 2 years until my cat chewed on them breaking them and then I bought a replacement and that lasted me another two years as well with the results of my cat biting it again. But they didn’t break on their own. Probably could’ve lasted much longer.
April Wenz she changes her shampoo and conditioner after every bottle (me too) because after a while, your hair starts getting used to the product and isn’t as ‘affective’ if that makes sense. I can’t stick to one type of brand unfortunately
I'm shook, I guess I'm an actual minimalist now cuz my lifestyle checked everything you said. However, for the part about reading the reviews though, it can be tricky sometimes as it doesn't mean the product is as bad as some people said and sometimes they didn't have many reviews to be rightfully evaluated. As you know, reviews are also opinions, and opinions are influential. For my tips, limit yourself buying the stuff online, instead, spend some time to see it in person, touch it and feel it, then read the reviews. You should have your own opinions on the stuff first, as the reviews can be subjective. Last but not least, is there any way for Canadians to dry their clothes in the winter without using the dryer machine? This is a serious question though.
i carry cash still i'm old school. some of my family members make fun of me but when we go out and some places take cash only they know i come thru with my cash
I recently ordered baby pink towels and hand clothes and I discovered it was not a good decision because it shows any extra makeup leftover when I use them lol I also don’t have my tv on unless I’m watching it. I can’t stand the extra noise, it keeps me from focusing on other things I need to do. You’re not a forgettable person! Forgetful, maybe lol
I really want for you to have and my money.a washer/dryer.It would save you time and money. laundry mats are very expensive. i used to go to them and now i got my washer and dryer and will never go back. wastes to much of my time
Save your coins. My boyfriend saved up all his change for a few months & he ended up with about $150. I'm not sure if this is a hack or not but this is something I've been doing for years.
Hi Ate Kyra! Can you please make a Minimalist Make-Up, or something about Make-Up for us (minimalist) Pretty please. Thankyou ♡ btw I miss you haven't open IG for months.

lynncrf Awesome!!! 😄
I actually use my eyeshadow as a blush because my blush was huge so i passed it on to a friend and i use a light pink eye shadow on my cheeks
I do this all the time and it works like a charm
I just want to thankyou. You’ve changed my life completely, I’m now a vegan and an aspiring minimalist! I’ve also saved nearly a grand since I started watching your videos. Thankyou so much kyra ❤️
What helped save you all that $
Britt _ I made a separate account for savings and put a set amount of what I made into there right at the start of the month. I also cut down on spending massively as I used to spend about £60/£70 shopping every month for clothes/makeup and now it’s about £10 if that. I also stopped buying things such as coffees from Starbucks as they’re very overpriced so I just make things like that at home. Anything I’ve had spare by the end of the month I put in there too. Hope this helps?
Kyra, your videos have helped me immensely with my anxiety and depression! You have a way of sayin things that stick and make an impact on me and many others! One of your videos talked about how you clean every day (or something like that) and it never even dawned on me to do so, been making my life and decluttering much easier!
1st tip is already perfect, I always feel bombarded by notifications

Great tip about the notifications. And I dyed all my towels black a few years ago - one of the best things I ever did!
I am OBSESSED with your videos and you have definitely changed my life for the better!

How much did she pay u for that comment
Davit Aslamazishvili she paid me nothing. She never does paid sponsorships, in case this is your your first video. Learn to have more respect for others in order to receive respect.
@@tatimartinez468 Well that was obviously a joke it was just a little bit funny how you wrote that comment saying that ur doing everything like she said buying this and that now you are defending her and i got no idea why i dont think that i said something bad about u or her u are talking about me showing some respect why is that? i dont know anyone of u u might deserve it u might not the only one person i respect between our trio is me since i know what kinda person i am and i know that i would never allow myself to offend women so calm down

But not having it for years had me in the habit of not using it regularly which is a great habit to keep.
When she was talking about makeup, primer, foundation, etc., It sounded like painting a wall but on your face.
It really does lol thank goodness I no longer wear that much makeup anymore
I have a tv and I don’t use it anymore. Even my daughter doesn’t watched with on it as well. She loves reading books after school and me, I am so caught up with work and family time and I don’t have extra time to sit and watch tv.

I'm sick with laryngitis and watching your videos are so calming and relaxing. Best way to wind down 💕
This video is awesome. I’m starting this type of lifestyle and some things I’ve already started implementing. I’ll be subscribing
I'm a new subscriber and have been really enjoying your videos. It appears I've been living as a minimalist in sooooo many ways for my entire life.

Maybe you should do a video of what your aspirations are for the money you save? Just give us some ideas
This is a good idea. Share your goals!
I believe she just wants a savings not necessarily for anything but it’s like to know too
Not all stores will let you return if you only have a photo of the receipt. I tried that once with Walmart and they wouldn’t let me unless I had the physical copy
Vanessa Tucker something like Burlington they ask you if you want this email. This started be popular in many stores☺️
DIY CRYSTAL it is becoming more popular but if an emailed receipt is not an option, I wouldn’t recommend getting rid of your physical receipt unless you know the stores policy if they would accept a photo of it
Vanessa Tucker yes that thing they accept this. But like you said every time check the policy Now the technology it’s really advanced now you can use too phone number, for return items
Vanessa Tucker for Walmart get their app you can scan in the receipt 🧾 and toss it.
"The phone is like one of our organs..." 😅🤣😂
That was really well said 👍
I use my taxes to pay bills 6-12 months
Yeah you are absolutely right ... I have been living without TV since 2017. And now it's really boring to watch TV for me. .. Actually it's not that difficult to ditch TV.
Some stores say they need the original receipt as it has certain info but the photo would have it. They tell me even debit or credit won't suffice.
Love This Channel So Much!
Thank you 💕💕
We treat our phone like it's "one of our organs"😂😭😭true!
Never been slapped that hard before
😂
Makes me cringe to think that....she is right.
I look forward to your videos all the time, and we are both from Mass🤟🏽 One of my favorite RUclipsrs

Even better than turning of notifications is deleting all social media apps from your phone!
Do you have a video on how to go about things that have sentimental meaning to you? It’s so hard for me to get rid of things that were given to me by someone special to me!
Take a picture of it and put it in a scrapbook or portfolio
My family has the rule to put all phones downstairs by the end of the night which helps me from going on my phone a lot
Great advice on the shopping questions👍👍👍👍
Yes getting rechargeable batteries for my daughters toys and for my remotes

Great video! I found some great dishes at goodwill that were originally from IKEA.
Kyra, what can we do to help the channel !? Trying to purposely play your videos more and like any videos I already haven't.
I disagree on the old navy slippers.

Grew up without t.v.. so grateful
I don’t have a TV for more than 6years

Hey Kyra. What do you think of checking reviews for apartments that you want to move in to? How important do you think it is?
I love the use less make up products
.works perfectly.
What projector do you use??? Please link for us some options
Can you link the projector please? Our TV broke and I am considering not getting a new one.
Maybe if we have to take a picture of the receipt don’t get the thing?
What kind of projector do you have??

Ditch ur TV, have ur boyfriend buy a projector. When u break up, have ur next boyfriend buy one.

I have an ultra mega minimalist wallet ... don’t even keep money or cards in it .
You need your insurance card on you in case you have to go urgent care or the E.R.
Most E.R’s in Boston have records of you if you give them your social security 👍🏼
If you win a Million 💵. Will you be a minimalist also ??
Yes 🙌🏼 theres a bigger picture to minimalism, and it has nothing to do with money
@@Living.minimal Good to hear this, Each person has his own happiness, Wish you the best💜
Tap some blush/eyeshadow on your lips, looks sooo flattering!
You give the best advice ❤❤❤surprised you dont have millions of subscribers 😃.

I found a good drying rack on offerup for 5$
I really want for you to have and my money.a washer/dryer.It would save you time and money. laundry mats are very expensive. i used to go to them and now i got my washer and dryer and will never go back. wastes to much of my time
