Hi Canna, I thought I would let you know that yesterday I was able to pay off my student debt that I had for years. I chose yesterday as my deadline because it was also my birthday so I thought it would be a good date to start with better habits. I was so inspired by your videos about getting rid of debt that I have just worked hard for it, I had to force myself to focus and step by step I was able to "find" and collect money for it. I am incredibly happy now and feel like I have a little bit more control of my life. I want to thank you for the inspiration, I would not be able to do it this fast without you! xx
+Foxyzuzi Oh wow, that is AMAZING! I am so proud of you, you deserve a big congratulations and maybe some fun this weekend to treat yourself for reaching your goal as you set out to do. Thank you for letting me know. xCC
I think it's possible to be minimalist and still have a small stockpile of certain items. If I'm maybe on my last toothpaste and I see toothpaste half price or buy one get one free I'll buy a couple at that point so i know I have one for when I run out and another spare and I only paid for one. Currently I'm halfway through a deodorant and I always buy the same one, today I saw it half price so I bought my backup today rather than wait until it's almost done and have to pay full price. I also buy cruelty free as much as possible and those brands are on offer less frequently so when I see them reduced I always consider whether I will need those between now and the next time they may be reduced in price. I don't do this for everything but products I use regularly like toothpaste, handwash, dish soap etc and like I say, only if I think I'll need it before it will be reduced in price again (usually 2-3 months)
I'm with you on that, Diane! I often buy in a stock for a few months etc and I'm OK with that. I never buy stuff just for the sake of it anymore - it has to be something I really use.
minimalism doesn't mean not to have staples of products that you are sure that you will use eventually! minimalism means to avoid buying things that you DON'T NEED and you won't use. just don't buy too many staples if things are going to expire. cheers :)
I just bought some cruelty-free products for my next home (I'm moving in a couple weeks) like cleaners and dish soap. I will end up refilling the containers when they're empty either with my home-made cleaners or big jugs of dish soap, but I find their spray bottles hold up longer than the ones from the dollar store. The one I'm currently using (refilling the eco-friendly bottle) is starting to lose it's spray after nearly a year. Before, using the dollar store ones, it would barely last 3 months (IF I didn't drop the bottle, as I'm a klutz.) Anyways; I'm all for practical stockpiling on frequently used products! And yah cruelty-free!
Minimalism is such a journey...I have embraced my make up, books, etc declutter while embracing how much I love my handbags! they are now displayed so I can/see enjoy them even when I am not using them. It is about what I need and what brings me JOY....if your make up brings you joy and makes you smile thats all that matters. I do find it interesting that you got rid of the dog collar....I would not have....I would have framed it or something. Alot of minimalists feel they need to get rid of sentimental things and I really dont understand why.....my grandmothers cookie jar is also on display...brings back good memories
I stay stocked on things I use regularly. That's more simple because it saves me time. And my regular weekly shopping list stays simple. Plus necessities are good for emergency preparedness.
I agree. I think the "thing" is to put those stocks away, so you don't see them, they're not in the way physically and MENTALLY. It's all about not being cluttered, physically as that will affect us mentally and emotionally.
I think a better approach to items like toothpaste is actually to stockpile them only when they are on sale. Toothpaste is an item you need and use at least twice a day so stockpiling 3 or 4 when the price gets low is a better way to "save money." This is just how I see it though. It may not be minimalist, but it's practical! By the way, thanks for all the great information you provide with us! I'm a 20 year old student in the US and I enjoy a lot the knowledge you share with us!
For me, stockpiling simplifies my life. By stockpiling on non perishables and smart eating on the fresh produce like fruit and vegetables (we eat produce that have shorter lifespan first), I am able to limit my grocery shopping to once every three weeks. Saved me a lot of time, money and sanity! ^__^
Protecting yourself is important. My grandma still asks me why I would want to live without a TV and offers to help me find one every time I see her when I have not missed it ever since.
I now embrace being mindful around a pared down life that is very anti-consumerism, slow paced, honoring myself and the people, plants and animals in my world and beyond. i am a woman and I am older and have raised kids, had careers, unexpected divorce, have had to make peace with some big things and have felt loss, deeply.I have served others my whole life but not myself, always waiting to take care of myself at some point, later. It takes a lot of effort to turn away from all the business in life and turn towards yourself. That uncomfortableness, alone with yourself, quiet, thoughtful is what I am striving for now. it is wisdom I seek. I appreciate your thoughtful message.
I started minimalism accidentally! When I moved to university, I could only bring 2 suitcases so I brought the essentials. Then I only bought things that I needed because it was all I could afford. Every year at uni, I've had to move accommodation so I had to go through and pack up all my stuff at least once a year and it was so easy to get rid of things that way. I didn't even realise this was a lifestyle until I watched your videos but minimalism comes so natural to me now. Only applying to possessions at the moment though, not food or my broader lifestyle.
Oh god, I wasnt expecting to cry about your dog. I think I get too overly attached to my pets. I could never do that but absolutely applaud you for being able to do so.
Thank you for these great tips. I second your "just in time" technique. I only buy an item when I need it, regardless of the fact whether it is on sale or not. This really helps and I never end up buying things that I do not need. I am looking forward to incorporate minimalism in my life, being a minimalist photographer for a long time.
The thing I am not minimalist about is my pantry. Because of my food restrictions, it's important for me to have a lot on hand to make everything from scratch, and I was discovering that if I waited until I needed a certain kind of flour to buy it, I would just stop eating that other grain source (which has detrimental effects to my health). What I try to do, to balance this out, is to make sure that I *only* have things in that pantry that I enjoy, that are good for me, and that I actually make use of. I consider this kind of a KonMari compromise. Yes, I keep a well-stocked larder, but I also eat everything there. I very rarely have to throw anything out, and I'm generally good at predicting what I need. It's also helpful because it saves me a lot of stress, elsewhere. If something unpredictable happens with my work hours, I can eat out of my pantry for a week or two at a time. I also don't have to shop as often except for things like produce, which limits my exposure to other parts of the grocery store, where I have to face impulse purchases. And because it is limited, I can also usually visit smaller groceries that don't shock my system as much (I am an Aspie and often face sensory overload at stores).
I love your minimalist videos and I love this lifestyle. I haven't told many people either and sometimes when I go shopping with them they are so surprised that I'm not spending a lot of money and they are 😄 I just buy what I need and make sure I really love and value what I buy. It doesn't mean I don't get tempted sometimes but I feel so much better just thinking things over. It also helps to check your wardrobe and write down what you really need and take a list with you. I used to go shopping and get so overwhelmed and forget what I actually really needed and buy the things that I didn't really need. And you shouldn't punish yourself if you do get tempted and buy something that you didn't really need. As long as you totally love that item. Setting a budget is really helpful and you can make sure you don't over spend for the month that way you don't feel guilty either. Xoxo
I agree and definitely setting up a budget makes a huge difference... You have a strict guideline then and it makes you work out what is really important to you, do really need that new top or shouldn't you be stocking up the fridge for the week or putting your savings towards your credit card debt and so on... xCC
I love your videos and your channel! I haven't found any youtubers like you! I can not wait for your next videos to come out! Great channel, real inspiration
The only tip that I would have difficulty following is only keeping photographs of sentimental objects. Of course, like you mentioned, you have to find the minimalistic approach that best suits you! Great video!
I'd love to see a make up collection video and every day make up tutorial too. You always look so well in your videos. It would be nice to see your must have make up products.
I am so glad to see and appreciate others who are very similar in perceptions. Time for living, loving, serving and appreciating life! God bless you sister!!!
Cannaaa! I always look forward to your uploads! I would love to see your makeup collection and makeup routine! Also, your skin always looks impeccable, so it would be super helpful if you talked about your skincare (and makeup) from a minimalist's perspective! There is such an overload of information on youtube regarding makeup & skincare, with there being a new 'obsession' almost every week claiming to yield miraculous results. It would so super helpful to narrow down an existing collection and to limit future buys. xoxo
I stock up on things like toilet paper, toothpaste, soap, lotion etc,. More important than saving space is saving time. So on that point I disagree. I also do store some extra food as an emergency preparation.
We all have our own take on minimalism... it's one of the reasons why I love it so much! You can adapt it to any or all areas of your life and figure out what best works for you! Thank you for sharing what you do! xCC
8 лет назад
I'm clearly at the beginning of my minimalist journey and I do love this video. So clear, simple and sincere, I like your energy very much and I wish you the best!
Canna I love your approach to life... you are so in tune with what is going on around you and so mindful of the choices you make. I have been watching your videos for a while and can feel your approach sink into my thought process... I am such a hoarder so have been trying to de-clutter what I have but also avoid bringing un-neccessary things into my life! My family thought I had gone crazy throwing stuff out but it really has made me feel so much calmer and I really love the pieces I have now! So I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your videos, you have been a great inspiration to me xxx
By far, this is one of the best videos I enjoyed, ( & I like many of your videos) . However, Your no. 9 Tip about learning to be" present in the moment" and about self discoveries, realizations, growing as a person, well it really resonated with me. It actually brought me to tears, but that's a good thing. As I'am getting older there is so much more I want out of my life, and simplifying my life is "one of those things". I have always liked and appreciated simplicity. However, I've had my share of too many kitchen supplies (pots/pans/etc) and holding on to clothing as well, that i just didn't wear. It just brought on so much anxiety. I have been culling/ purging and I feel liberated and I have to say it is "life altering". I was feeling down and out and this simple act of discovery and my journey has been very "uplifting". So thank you, for making note of that, and about not allowing the negativity that comes with the judgement of others, whom simply do not understand. And in my book, that's alright, because I am taking care of me, and this journey has brought me an abundance of happiness.
Mayra T congratulations on your discovery! It feels good doesn't it! Stuff still gives me anxiety but staying committed to my passion of Minimalism really has helped me stay centred xCC
I couldn't agree more, I buy everything that I need and nothing at all that I don't. You may imagine how far I get with this. Pretty far and I enjoy it, only this. Usually whatever I once got for a certain price I refuse to pick up more expensive next time, unless emergency, it becomes a life principle after a time...those who should pay more than $160 on a return ticket Europe-Dubai and this keeps them from the trip don't know how to travel. You can get a whole lot for your money if you care.
I loved loved this video. You are so articulate and clear! I am interested very much in minimalism and definitely feel "lighter" when I clear things out that no longer serve me. Thank you!
Thank you for pointing out various ways to practice minimalism that aren't just "having less things." I learned that I already apply minimalism to my commitments. I hadn't thought of it before. Now I have an extra boost of confidence going into the 30 day minimalism challenge. Thank you again!
I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses.

Great and original video, loved it. I would also like a minimalism video on makeup and skincare - this is the one area I can't seem to apply the minimalist approach!!
Thanks for your video. Some great tips there. I've been trying to get rid of all the useless crap I've collected over the past 30yrs. Slowly been getting there but still so much stuff!! Then last September my mum passed away aged 80 & it's my job to sort out her lifetime of hoarding & collecting. She was a shopaholic all her life & ive such a huge task ahead of me. Any tips sugar momma PLEASE lol
+MrPaulztube Maybe tackle one area at a time. Or maybe spend 10 or 20 minutes each day working through it. Take photos of sentimental items and don't be afraid to let things go....xCC
Great video. I needed a little reminder. By the way, did you ever meet your personal goals and get the coat back from your parents? :) We are all waiting to see this famous coat.
Yes, I actually got it back last weekend when I had been invited out for a special lunch. I'm really glad I waited not only after reaching my personal goals but also to wear it to something meaningful... It made it all the more special! I will show it in my next capsule wardrobe video. xCC
I love your videos. So genuine. Thank you, from over in the US. Also, your makeup is absolutely beautiful and natural. Would love to see what you use :)
Hi Canna, I love your channel a lot, I think you are one of the best you tubers out there i would love to see your channel grow even more! As an advise on what you could improve would be to take a picture and edit it and put it as a thumbnail on your videos, and not just a random image from the video. It would make your channel look more professional and put together and i think it would draw a lot of new views. Your content is amazing by the way. I love you! :)
The Minimalists podcast expands on most of these tips in helpful and engaging way - I recommend it to anyone who started their journey and wants to know what to do next!
Great tips! There has been some solid cleansing going on in my house lately. I wish my husband wanted to head more towards this lifestyle, he not only wants to hang onto everything, he wants it easily accessible too (so he's not even keen on putting things in the roof 😐), any tips for this kind of person?
It can be very tricky when your living with someone who wants to hold onto everything and you want to let go of everything... I would start with your things that you know you can give away or sell... that way you aren't going to effect your relationship and maybe somehow come to a compromise with everything else you share. If your husband doesn't use some of these items you are wanting to get rid of then it should be a rule that these things have to go... if he can prove that he needs the other items then they are allowed to stay. xCC
I would love to minimize (get rid of) cc debt. Once cc debt is gone we will go from living on $6,000 including cc debt for a family of three to living on $4,178 without cc debt for a family of three. That extra $ will be able to go to saving for a safe but cheap vehicle.
+Sugar Mamma I completely understand. I was watching a 'More Melody' video and seeing her kitchen set up was a real eye opener about how little she felt she needed to live with.
The first tip on not stockpillling is kind of dumb. It doesnt save any money casue youll buy it in a week if you dont right now, its just putting it off. And as for the saving of space if your that low on space that you cant store extra toothpaste then maybe you should focus on the other 9 tips cause that ridiculous.
That's ridiculous. If you buy things only when you need them, you'll waste your most precious asset: TIME! Toothpaste hardly takes up any space at all, but buying toothpaste will cost you at least 20 minutes, possibly more.
Someone ridiculed you for having fewer kitchen utensils than other people? Kitchen utensils? Really? REALLY? You should be ridiculing THEM for attributing so much worth to forks and ladles! My gosh... *rolls eyes*
Hi Canna, I thought I would let you know that yesterday I was able to pay off my student debt that I had for years. I chose yesterday as my deadline because it was also my birthday so I thought it would be a good date to start with better habits.

Well done!!!
so elated for you, nice post.
I have spent months studying ways to de-clutter easily and discovered a fantastic resource at Nilah declutter tips (check it out on google)
Foxyzuzi so awesome I am working towards student loans being paid off
I find it very therapeutic to go through my things and get rid of items I don't need or appreciate anymore 😀
+Amy Povey One of the best feelings, ever! xCC
I think it's possible to be minimalist and still have a small stockpile of certain items.

Diane Bishop soap too. Id much rather buy a five pack or so of bar soap. I use it all and i dont have to buy more for a long time which is nice
what deodrant do you use?
I just bought some cruelty-free products for my next home (I'm moving in a couple weeks) like cleaners and dish soap.

Living a minimalist lifestyle is a work in progress but refreshing. You are such an inspiration!
I want to try this, excellent video! Thank you.
Could you film your closet organization? Or tips to organize ones capsule? :)
Yes, I have had many requests for this and I promise I will do one. xCC
This youtuber is straight to the point not babbling just like others.
Thank you for watching xCC

Love your video, thank you! I am a huge fan of minimalism! I'm on the minimalist journey myself.
How very enjoyable was to watch this! Thank you! X
Very much enjoy your tips and videos.....your son Rocco is such a doll...and your babies...
I couldn't agree more, I buy everything that I need and nothing at all that I don't. You may imagine how far I get with this. Pretty far and I enjoy it, only this. Usually whatever I once got for a certain price I refuse to pick up more expensive next time, unless emergency, it becomes a life principle after a time...those who should pay more than $160 on a return ticket Europe-Dubai and this keeps them from the trip don't know how to travel. You can get a whole lot for your money if you care.
I couldn't agree more... Thank you for sharing some great info! xCC
I loved loved this video. You are so articulate and clear! I am interested very much in minimalism and definitely feel "lighter" when I clear things out that no longer serve me. Thank you!
Cara Corson My pleasure Cara. xCC
These tips were great! I'm really getting into minimalism more and more.
Thank you for pointing out various ways to practice minimalism that aren't just "having less things." I learned that I already apply minimalism to my commitments. I hadn't thought of it before. Now I have an extra boost of confidence going into the 30 day minimalism challenge. Thank you again!
I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses.
Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *Jenny Pamogas Canaya,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner..|
I've come across several positive endorsements of Jenny Pamogas Canaya on various platforms, including RUclips channels, seminars, and more.
Thanks to these recommendations, I successfully located her online profile and have already reached out to her with a message!
"It's quite a surprise that you're acquainted with her as well. I've had the privilege of gaining significant profits while learning and investing under her guidance for the past few months. JENNY PAMOGAS CANAYA truly stands out as one of the most exceptional mentors and traders I've had the pleasure of collaborating with in recent years. Her expertise in navigating various market situations is truly remarkable."
Great and original video, loved it. I would also like a minimalism video on makeup and skincare - this is the one area I can't seem to apply the minimalist approach!!
Another great video
Thanks for your video. Some great tips there. I've been trying to get rid of all the useless crap I've collected over the past 30yrs. Slowly been getting there but still so much stuff!! Then last September my mum passed away aged 80 & it's my job to sort out her lifetime of hoarding & collecting. She was a shopaholic all her life & ive such a huge task ahead of me. Any tips sugar momma PLEASE lol
+MrPaulztube Maybe tackle one area at a time. Or maybe spend 10 or 20 minutes each day working through it. Take photos of sentimental items and don't be afraid to let things go....xCC
Love your lifestyle videos Canna, in particular the minimalism and manifestation based ones. So motivating - thankyou! xx
Thank you Tastytulip... These are my favourite topics as well.... Obviously besides finale of course ;) xCC
HOT MAMMA!! Thank you so much Canna!! xoxo Tammy
+workoutmama Haha thanks Tammy! xCC
Great video! 😀
Great video. I needed a little reminder. By the way, did you ever meet your personal goals and get the coat back from your parents? :) We are all waiting to see this famous coat.
Yes, I actually got it back last weekend when I had been invited out for a special lunch. I'm really glad I waited not only after reaching my personal goals but also to wear it to something meaningful... It made it all the more special!
I will show it in my next capsule wardrobe video. xCC
I love your videos. So genuine. Thank you, from over in the US. Also, your makeup is absolutely beautiful and natural. Would love to see what you use :)
+Susanne Dyal I will do a makeup video soon I promise! xCC
Really great tips! Could you please share what tshirt brand and model this is? It looks sooo high quality and it’s hard to find a good white tee.
thank you ♡
AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing!
+NinaBae8 My pleasure. xCC
These tips were super helpfull
Hi Canna, I love your channel a lot, I think you are one of the best you tubers out there i would love to see your channel grow even more!
As an advise on what you could improve would be to take a picture and edit it and put it as a thumbnail on your videos, and not just a random image from the video. It would make your channel look more professional and put together and i think it would draw a lot of new views. Your content is amazing by the way. I love you! :)
The Minimalists podcast expands on most of these tips in helpful and engaging way - I recommend it to anyone who started their journey and wants to know what to do next!
+Wendy H Oh great, thank you for sharing Wendy. xCC
This talk is so valuable. ..Thank you!
My pleasure Jenny! xCC
Absolute “Yes” or “No, Thank You!”
Love your minimalism videos 💕
Great video, thank you! I love your channel
always love your ideas 💖💖💖💖
Tip 8 🙌🏻
Well said! 😁
Great tips! There has been some solid cleansing going on in my house lately. I wish my husband wanted to head more towards this lifestyle, he not only wants to hang onto everything, he wants it easily accessible too (so he's not even keen on putting things in the roof 😐), any tips for this kind of person?
It can be very tricky when your living with someone who wants to hold onto everything and you want to let go of everything... I would start with your things that you know you can give away or sell... that way you aren't going to effect your relationship and maybe somehow come to a compromise with everything else you share. If your husband doesn't use some of these items you are wanting to get rid of then it should be a rule that these things have to go... if he can prove that he needs the other items then they are allowed to stay. xCC
Loved the tips!
Another awesome video. Thanks Canna 👏🏼 BTW what foundation do you use? Your skin is glowing!
My favourite at the moment is Ellis Faas foundation. xCC
When I come to Australia I would like to meet and learn from you, also teach you something else.
Just joined this channel and im happy!
tikea p welcome!!! xCC
I would love to minimize (get rid of) cc debt. Once cc debt is gone we will go from living on $6,000 including cc debt for a family of three to living on $4,178 without cc debt for a family of three. That extra $ will be able to go to saving for a safe but cheap vehicle.
Wishing you all the best in squishing that debt once and for all... Keep us up to date on how you are going with it. xCC
6. makeup. many women buy several lipsticks almost the same color. If we stop to notice this in ourselves, we can now discard some duplicates.
That is exactly right! xCC
Can you do a house tour to show how little you have left in your cupboards and drawers?
Hi, I can look into this for you but it might be a little too personal showing all my belongings if you can understand. xCC
+Sugar Mamma I completely understand. I was watching a 'More Melody' video and seeing her kitchen set up was a real eye opener about how little she felt she needed to live with.
+Max W thanks Max. xCC
Can you do a video on your wardrobe?
Yes, I will be doing one very soon. xCC
can you write tips down in info so I can review without watching whole video. Where are you from? I like your accent.
I am from Australia... I'd prefer my subscribers to watch my videos all the way through because that is the whole point of my channel... xCC
You could double for Naomi Watts.
The first tip on not stockpillling is kind of dumb. It doesnt save any money casue youll buy it in a week if you dont right now, its just putting it off. And as for the saving of space if your that low on space that you cant store extra toothpaste then maybe you should focus on the other 9 tips cause that ridiculous.
you are cute
That's ridiculous. If you buy things only when you need them, you'll waste your most precious asset: TIME!
Toothpaste hardly takes up any space at all, but buying toothpaste will cost you at least 20 minutes, possibly more.
Someone ridiculed you for having fewer kitchen utensils than other people? Kitchen utensils? Really? REALLY? You should be ridiculing THEM for attributing so much worth to forks and ladles! My gosh... *rolls eyes*
Hahaha love it... thank you for the support! xCC
law of attraction? do people really believe in it?
Yes! And I will be going into this on a deeper level in future videos! xCC
thank you ♡
