What's something YOU quit to simplify your life? I'd love to hear from you 💛

@Darin08 2 месяца назад

unsubscribing from Apple News emails. 1y ago when i was 15.

@amysmith6504 2 месяца назад

I stopped bulk-buying. For some larger families it can make sense, but now I find I know exactly what I have in the cupboards and what I need. I also quit food shopping in person - online only gives me more focus and I have a list of frequently bought items so I don’t overbuy or spend too much time browsing for things I don’t actually need.

@caelynmeier1365 2 месяца назад

You should try a flex disc for periods. Game changer. You don’t have to remove to empty every time

@courtneyharrel5500 2 месяца назад

I got rid of house phone finally!

@ros8986 Месяц назад

no clothing that is only for sleeping in - All my clothes are comfy enough to sleep in. Also I have not ironed in decades (except for occassional sewing projects). I haven't given gifts for special occasions in 40 years or more.

@Simpleisbetterformetoo 2 месяца назад

I simplified everything in my life ❤. From working to shopping, friendships, wardrobe and lifestyle. Absolutely everything, and my life is more peaceful and meaningful. I agree with lots of points in your list 😊

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Love that. Thank you for watching 😊

@bettinak.4 Месяц назад

I also quit watching the news and I'm still functioning. You're so right about that.

@madelinevlogs Месяц назад

Great that it’s worked for you too! 💛

@jacquelineathersmith5342 2 месяца назад

For Christmas for my boys we do the four presents 1 is a want 2 is a need 3 is a wear 4 is a read Research has shown children are overwhelmed after 16 toys The less they have the more that they play with what they have!

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

That's such a cool perspective. I have found less toys actually worked so much better for my kids too. Thank you for watching 😊

@DivineHala 2 месяца назад

I like this

@turtleanton6539 2 месяца назад

Yes indeed🎉

@AyeshaShaSha 2 месяца назад

Literally screenshotted this to remember for this year... such a good way to look at getting presents for your kids!!

@nicolesheaffer4988 16 дней назад

I use to keep hand me downs for YEARS bc my two boys are 8 years apart. But by the time I would get to them I either didn’t like them or they didn’t hold up as well. I kept tubs of clothes and ended up never using most of them. Now I keep a small container with only the next size up. Not years up.

@Chrissyhappy Месяц назад

I agree over shopping deliveries. Gave up going the shop in person years ago. A lot easier to budget and I struggled to manage with my daughter. I’d forget things or get overwhelmed. I order the ingredients for meals then decide what day I am cooking them by the dates supplied. I also stopped using different skin care. I just use almond oil now. Body. Face. Hair. A lot easier. Once you let go of a habit and get used to it it’s a lot easier.😊. Good luck to everyone one their journey.😊

@soumiabenrochd1396 2 месяца назад

I don't watch the news either, for the same reasons. And you have every right to keep your sanity and mental wellbeing, not just for your family, but for yourself in the first place. Good tips there! Keep it up!

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Absolutely, it can affect us so much. Thank you for watching 😊

@vsn5474 2 месяца назад

I'm doing mostly the same things, I love being more minimal. I saved a lot of money and time with that. Glad to see I'm not the only one 😊

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

So true, saves so much time and money. Thank you for watching 😊

@chris-ci7ch 2 месяца назад

I like using my credit card but I pay it off every month. I use the 5% cash back for X-mas and buy things that I do need. I love your list idea.

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing 💛

@KrissyFaith 11 дней назад

As an empty nester for 10 years - I finally only by enough food for ME to consume. I have ONE kitchen cabinet for pantry items. No large pantry, no buying bulk, no memberships and for the most part minimal packaging.😅

@madelinevlogs 6 дней назад

Sounds like you’ve got a great system, Krissy 💛

@extrememinimalism 2 месяца назад

i like how some of your ideas are completely new (to me at least), one thing i did to ease my life, was to use the same shampoo/conditioner/shower gel as my toddler and feeding him the same breakfast and snacks everyday.

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

That’s cool. I feed my toddler pretty much the same breakfast everyday too, porridge and some fruit 💛

@sinkintostillness Месяц назад

We as a family now use the same shampoo, shower gel/soaps and toothpaste which has really helped keep our bathroom tidy and minimal. My daughter does swim regularly and has a special swim shampoo and conditioner for those days but they live in her swim bag. I've simplified cleaning products too, one antibacterial multisurface cleaner is sufficient for 90% of jobs.

@ActiveMuse 2 месяца назад

Great video! I'm just starting my minimalism journey, and I'm happy to see that I haven't even done half of the things mentioned. 👏

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for watching 💛

@GabeBult 2 месяца назад

great list!

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Thanks, Gabe. I appreciate it! 😊

@rachelmodd9436 2 месяца назад

Wow this video was so interesting. Thank you for sharing. I've actually been thinking about quitting gifts between my husband and I but fet guilty. You explained it perfect. Just once in a while is fine

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

So glad it was helpful, Rachel. Thank you for watching!

@elizabethsofia2016 2 месяца назад

If I would ve known minimalism earlier, I wouldn't ve bought so many toys for my baby. It was the worst spent ever

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Same, we had way more toys with my first when he was a baby and we definitely didn’t need them all 💛

@heididobbins1904 2 месяца назад

Loved your video. I do many of those things. Working at simplifying my home and feel these are great tips to spill over into my lifestyle.

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much, Heidi!

@willow9790 2 месяца назад

I keep a credit card for any online buying for protection if something goes wrong. I then clear any debt each month so interest payments

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Great that you can keep on top of it. Thank you for watching 😊

@lisav018 2 месяца назад

We do the same. We actually use our card for all every day purchases, then pay off monthly so no interest. It’s my way of simplifying because I can track all of our spending in one place on top of the additional protection. With all of the ways they can scam you these days, also for travel there are additional benefits, protection from fraud, insurance, low or no exchange fees.

@bohobellevintage 2 месяца назад

I don't watch the news either and it has made a huge difference in my mental health. My husband and I exchange gifts, but we have decided not buy cards for each other anymore. A card for every occasion adds up, so we just write notes for each other. I also only shop at thrift stores and buy groceries online to save on impulse buying. I loved your list! 🩷 Great tips!

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Lovely ideas, thank you so much for sharing 🤗

@ros8986 Месяц назад

food containers - I swtiched to Ikea containers for everything - freezing, pantry, fridge, etc. they nest, rectangular/square shape very economical on space.

@madelinevlogs Месяц назад

Sounds like you’ve got a good system 💛 Thank you for watching!

@shelleywood4117 2 месяца назад

I realized that the “hunt” for, or acquisition of, hobby materials was more satisfying than using them. I have amassed a huge supply of stuff for future use that I may never get to use. I stopped buying all but consumable goods. My hobby is stamping greeting cards. I stopped buying stamps but will buy cardstock, adhesives, and inks as I need them.

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

So true. Thank you for sharing, Shelley!

Cancelling tv on demand subscriptions like Netflix, Disney etc. Save money as there is no time to watch them all and guilt that we pay and don’t watch but don’t want to cancel eaither 😅

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing 💛

@rachelmodd9436 2 месяца назад

Hi you mention a show in a video but I never heard the name. You said they have people move al items out for time period to see how they feel without it all. Can you tell me the name of show and where I can watch it? Thank you!

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

It's Sort Your Life Out on BBC. It's amazing, they take all their belongings into a big warehouse and they sort through it all.

@beij7639 2 месяца назад

Great tips. May I ask where do you get your leggings from? 😊

@madelinevlogs 2 месяца назад

Mostly Lululemon or Adanola. Love the quality. Just a tip, you can also find them on Vinted for a bit cheaper 💛

@kathyesargent9088 2 месяца назад

A credit card is good if you spend wisely. Use the credit companies money for a month and then pay it off.

@elizabethsydnor5247 Месяц назад

That sounds sad that you don't buy gifts for each other

@jazzenthuiagirl 2 месяца назад

As someone who has been through 13 rounds of IVF and still doesn't have a child after 5 years of trying... THAT is infertility. If you have 2 kids... you had trouble getting pregnant quickly. Yes, I'm tired and bitter.

@madelinevlogs Месяц назад

I’m so so sorry you’re going through this.
