Hi I'm Delala, thank you for visiting my channel! On this channel I post videos about minimalism, slow living, sustainability and more! I'm in my twenties and live in The Netherlands. I have a super cute dog named Rambo who makes many appearances in my videos. So if that sounds good to you, make sure to subscribe! :)

I agree with you on movie and series topic sooooo much! I wasn't watching anything for a while by the accident. And when I started again eventually my anxiety lvl went up immediately. I think we are not designed to watch and know so much on a daily basis. Also on the news agree too! I quit in 2022.
Love your advice and its great that you said you only do certain things and then finish off that room another day, I have been doing that, if I am overwhelmed then I never do a job properly if the list is too much but if I am very tired I think a little job is better than non at all. Take care hugs
Hi Delala Been following your channel for a long time and just to let you know Yorkshire tea is awesome but then I would say that since I am from Yorkshire, Gods own county haha, lovely to see you back again you were really missed.
So much fruits just sitting in the vase is definitely not minimalism in Russia. They are expensive. I haven’t had fruits or berries for maybe 3 years now.
This is so weird just came across this video while munching on cheekpeas and was wondering if I should keep the liquid from the can Synchronicity at its finest 😮
Equating minimalism with weight is disgusting. Some people have hormonal issues which cause excess weight. Others have parts of their body that don't work properly (like thyroid) which cause weight gain and make it extremely hard to get weight off. Minimalism isn't about being ableist.
I agree with all the points except the nest. When I force myself to dump a lot of stuff, I never feel bad about it, because empty space feels so much better than shelves full of stuff. But his book is not a bible, it is a guide.
Loved this video! I wish I saw it years ago…I had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer (100% fine now) and had implants put in. Wearing a bra was extremely uncomfortable and painful at times so I gave it up..however because I😊 was so self conscious I developed a terrible slouch, always hunching over (didn’t want to stand up too tall and be like “hello tits!) I have recently decided to not give a F*ck at this stage of my life, stand up tall, back straight and be me! Your video was a much needed boost to my new confidence. Thank you thank you!
Ik herken je overwegingen. Ik vermoed dat ontspullen en minimalisme ook een soort verslaving kunnen zijn/worden. Zelf ben ik opruimcoach, ik vind opruimen en spullen wegdoen heerlijk, maar zit nu op een punt dat het niet meer gaat om kleine dingen maar om de meubels en dan komt er toch een zekere twijfel om de hoek kijken. Wat als ik de bank, mijn kast, enz wegdoe, en ik blijk ze toch nodig te hebben? Ik heb wel eens gedacht om niet meer spullen te hebben dan ik altijd meeneem op vakantie: een bed ,stoel, tafel, kookpotje op gaspitje, een lamp wat boeken, een koelbox, kleding en je phone. That's it. Misschien is dat voor jou ook een goed uitgangspunt. Ik ken dat fijne gevoel als je in je tent zit en zo lekker blij en tevreden bent met het weinige wat je hebt meegenomen. Aan de andere kant, thuis heb ik ook gereedschap, in de tent niet, ook geen administratie. Tja, misschien stap ik toch over op een multitool, dan kan al mijn gereedschap weg. Dilemma's, maar wel een mooi proces. Succes!
Opruimcoach, wat leuk!! 😁 ik begrijp je overwegingen over de meubels helemaal! Kamperen in een tentje is zo heerlijk, ik krijg er helemaal zin in nu je er over begint haha 🏕️ Dankjewel voor de leuke comment! ☺️❤️
I came across Goodbye Things book and your channel. Do you have any tips for dealing with paper clutter? Study notes, documents print outs I want to keep it all! and I don't.
Very impressive your piano playing! Wow in just three months!!!🎉. I’ve thought about taking the artist way course…now maybe I will. So good to see you again.
Thank you! It was such a bliss after days of rain and hail! 😁 I did not use a specific recipe for the soup. I just use whatever I have on hand. Usually it turn out alright, but sometimes it does not 😅 In this soup I used: Onion, garlic, leek, celery, carrot, brown lentils, vegan “meatballs” and veggie broth. 🍲
I’m so happy you’re back again. I missed seeing you and your affectionate and devoted little animal friends. I aspire to live a calmer life and you’re lifestyle is very inspiring. Take care. ❤️🌹
Watching you go about your daily activities has left me feeling so positive and reminded me of the beauty and value in living slow and simply. The Artist's Way sounds very interesting and I really like advice to stand up to the negative voices (internal and external), and to do things for yourself that you enjoy. I tend towards introversion and have suffered from depression when I start feeling that I can't meet standards that I set for myself or think that others expect. Minimalism is a great tool to help us discover what is important and to find simplicity but sometimes it brings out negative thoughts, perfectionism, an idea that if you control, organise and reduce more your life's problems will all be solved. The key is to focus on the joy and appreciation of what you have and what you do. Thanks for the reminder.❤
Love this video, it's great to see your lovely animals and the things that you get up to in a day. Love the Yorkshire tea😊! The creative course sounds like it has been very helpful to you and made you happier. I find that being creative always makes me happier too! Lovely to see you again 😊x
I bought this book for my son perhaps secretly I wanted it for myself. I don t think he even opened it so I asked if he wants to give it back to me for my birthday! I shall be starting it soon. I loved seeing your ginger cat tea cosy sitting on the table ❤
And once again, it’s always amazing to me how your videos time perfectly well with moments in my life. This “artist’s way” definitely sounds interesting, particularly the part involving silencing the inner-critic. That’s always been my problem for most of my life: Low self esteem combined with negative/fearful thoughts. Though I will say I’ve also been recently doing something I came up with that I call “Thought Bubble-popping”. Basically I catch myself having a negative thought, self-criticism, reminiscence of a long-forgotten moment or regret, etc… then I “Place” that thought into an imaginary bubble. I imagine the bubble floating up near me, where I acknowledge it as only a thought. Then, I take my finger and “pop” it - allowing me to go on with my life without the thought being there anymore. :P Curious to see if I can combine your AW method with mine in some way. Thanks again as always! ^_^
Awww thank you so much!! I also love you thought bubble popping! I can imagine visualizing it that way really helps! Thank you for the continuous support! 😁❤️
I make just under 50k a year, but I feel rich because I moved back home, started investing and started saving a lot of money. Yes I buy things sometimes, but only if I need it. Simple living and gratitude is how people should live not just bigger and better.
Hello Delala. You look gorgeous in the white top at the end. I wish you had worn that throughout this entire video. I've gone braless for the past several years. I love it! 😊
Love that you can do this. And a woman without makeup is impressive. It says a lot about your confidence, and having those chemicals in your skin can't be healthy. We are stuck in the 9-5 work to live game and hope to get back to simplicity.
