Yesss...sometimes I feel like I need to drink if I'm partying but ever since having my baby..or getting pegnant...going back to alcohol only made me sleepy and dehydrated and felt crappy the next day. And I always felt the mom mode wouldn't let me loosen up...at least not with alcohol

I really love the balance you bring. I used to try changing too many things at once, and it was overwhelming. Now I still buy paper plates for the days I feel overwhelmed, but we don't own a tv.

Please, let me explain; nowadays, we see and hear so many wonderful adults talking about choosing the live a simple life and choosing to take action (or not) about this and that but...they are older and to hear what a younger person has to say and think, it a real joy; it is charming, adorable and motivating.

Thanks Madi for being such an inspiration!! The pressure to conform to society can be overwhelming sometimes. It’s so refreshing to watch you living differently & thriving. I also love, love, love when you share resources. I’m always picking up tips from you. Curious about your stance on essential oils. What resources do you have on this?

@MadisunGray Год назад

Hey Hannah! Thanks so much! I went deep reading about how essential oils are super estrogenic when you diffuse them cold/ inhale them and have long exposure - for hours at a time. I struggled with low progesterone for a while and that’s one of the things that I changed. I still use essential oils like as perfume or as an acute treatment on something like a fungal issue from time to time.

It can get worse. I'm trying to phase out noisy battery powered toys for my 2 year old. I allowed it at first, but I noticed he loses interest easily, and he likes to mimic adults. Montessori types of toys that mimic real life work the best, but people will still give electronic toys. The pressure to give gifts on birthdays and holidays results in giving electronic or even cheapy toys that break easily.

I don’t have any problems with my skin but am wanting something non toxic. I have used coconut oil and really like it so I think I will transition to using that. I am wanting to give up coffee but haven’t gotten there yet. I love peppermint tea! I appreciate your simplistic way of living!

Hi, I really get a lot of value from your content! Thank you. Could you speak to how you discuss minimalism with your kids. I have a 4.5year old, a 2 year old and a baby. At home we are very minimal, but when we are out, the oldest asks for anything and everything she sees. I know she doesn't always really care about the item in particular, she just wants me to buy her SOMETHING. It's hard, I feel like a mean Mum. Things we've tried are... -keeping her out of shops (not always practical - having a wish list ( this feels ingenuine as I don't plan on buying her 99% of what she puts on there) - giving her a shopping fix. for example, when she grows out/wears out an item of clothing, we go out together to choose the replacement. But it doesn't stop her asking for a million other things. I don't really have any friends that are on my level of minimalism. So I'm curious how you talk to your kids about this stuff? Thank you 😊

I believe that more is caught, than taught. But honestly sharing with them why we do it is very helpful.

I stopped buying haircoloring products. Because I noticed how awefully my hair is right after the coloring. Plus it never felt like me anymore after the coloring. So I'm done with it. I even cut my hair into a pixie to get rid of most of what is left and now I'm trying to get my hair my natural haircolor, or finding a natural way to get some highlights later on. And I need to stop buying a lot of things but makeup and products that I think I will wear/use but is just not me at all and never will be. No matter how much I would love to be that woman who does use makeup and looks good with it. I use 2.5 makeup products and thats it (eyebrow powder because I have very blond eye brows, nailpolish and occacionally mascara). Same with face cleaners, toners, whatever. I sometimes buy it because I think I will use it, I use it 3 days in a row, forget about it and stop. So its not worth the money. Also; magazines. I have a few subscriptions, but I barely find the time to even read them. They fill up so much space and they end up in the trash. Which is just a very big waste of money. So after the subscriptions end, I want to stop with buying them at all.

I don’t buy trash bags for regular daily use. My husband bought a box about 8 months ago and I’ll use them occasionally for a specific need.

Awesome! You inspired me on an old video to have just one car, our children are out of home now so we don’t need two, plus my husband works from home. Thank you! Would you do a hair video as I need that. I need to get my hair condition back but it’s so fine and over messes with. I have so many greys now but not ready to do the full grey 😅❤

Definitely on my list of future videos ❤️

Volume is much better. I was commenting when you took the video down yesterday when there were only two comments at the time. . .and it wouldn't let me comment and the video was unavailable, so now I am back to respond. I am soooo similar about what I do/don't buy or use. Each of my family members has one mug (so we can all have cocoa together - which is the only thing other than water I drink at all). There are so many things that many people love and use all the time that you don't need, but while you or I may not need them, maybe they find more value in them. I'd love to hear more about using coconut oil for the babies instead of all the other things. My baby shower is coming up soon and I told everyone how I curated my list very carefully and don't need a lot nor want a lot (especially in my very small home). . .I really hope people don't try to add on to my list. It is probably one of the easiest and smallest lists to buy from too (even if people are like, "What are bamboo diapers??" or "What do you mean you don't like plastic?") I don't have an instapot at all nor physical books as well. I do have a couple streaming subscriptions (and share them with family members like my parents and a sibling and his kids, etc). I really do love my essential oils haha. Been using them since the mid 1990s (I used to burn it with tea lights rather than having a diffuser). LOVE YOUR LIST. This response could totally be so much longer, but I am trying to limit my responses a slight.

Wine mom culture is so true yeah. Great video. I have also stopped buying all those things, and stopped using shopping and browsing as leisure. Just don’t need all these things in our lives. Simplicity is so freeing x

You are so right!

@americanmover3934 Год назад

I really enjoy your video and would love to see a video of what you do with your hair and products you do use

@MadisunGray Год назад

It’s on my list!

Thanks Madison, where can we find the high quality clothes you wear? Did you mention the brands anywhere?

@faithhomeschool2789 Год назад

I am so with you on saying no to wine mom culture. Being drunk and bashing your family is not cute. We have made so.many changes over the last 6 years. We still need to do more.

What is wine mom culture?

@jess6512 Год назад

Loved this list! We are also not drinkers. I’m not against it just not our thing. I wish we could go down to one car. My husband travels for work. But when one of us retires we are definitely down sizing. So many things on your list I am there with ya!

Hi Jess, my husband and I are older I’m 72 and he’s 63 so we’re not in the thick of raising kids, that does make a difference, that being said,we’ve been a one car family for about 6 years now and I love it. My husband is semi retired but still works 2 or 3 days a week. I love having the excuse to not go places or do things I really don’t want to do because I don’t have the car. I’m an introvert and love being home. I find plenty to do that I enjoy and I’m understanding more about ‘slow living’, it’s nice.😊

Would love to hear about how you got off thyroid meds! I also have hypothyroidism and I’m on low dose levothyroxine that I would love to get rid of.

@KN-qq1gm Год назад

🤍 What type of coconut oil do you use for skin and hair? What I have solidifies in the colder temperatures and so I need to warm it up before use. Is there one that is made specifically for skin and hair to replace lotions? Thank you so much! Love your videos! 🤍

@spiicyliime22 Год назад

I used the stuff that hardens on my babies as well. Once it's in your hands, it starts melting, so I never bothered heating it. (I'm in Canada)

I consider getting rid of my old straightening iron and embracing my waves since I only straighten it like maybe 4 times a yr ...I do have one of those silky scrunchy hair curling sets

@HighLadyoftheSpiteCourt Год назад

I always think about getting rid of my hair dryer but I do, on occasion occasion, end up needing it. I still have a toxic 1-2x weekly relationship with my straightener haha

We are about to no longer own a tv!! I am also one of those that no longer uses traditional medicine! I love your channel it is by far my favorite! No need to apologize

@leastidyworld4365 Год назад

Do you miss your holiday decorations? I have a small box full, really not that much; I wonder if I could do without but it took me so long to find Christmas decor that I actually like that I don’t wanna get rid of it. Any suggestions?

@alexandriaescue2783 2 месяца назад

I would LOVE to know what oils you use to replace lotions and things or advice on dry skin (if you’ve read somewhere what causes it.) I would love to ditch the lotions, but my skin is soooooo dry my knuckles crack open. 😅

@TheLightHouse7 Год назад

Agree!

Me wearing a tshirt from a place I went and drinking coffee from a cup I got somewhere I visited. 😂 I could save so much money if I stopped buying shirts, stickers, and coffee mugs.

I just found you, so I’m playing catch up with your videos but how did you get over not having tv in the background? I’m the same way, I like it because I feel less “alone” - it’s definitely my comfort! But I also want to get away from that so that my daughters don’t have that same dependency.

@rmm4123 Год назад

So question, since you don’t buy the “holiday baskets” and the like, what DO you do for those holidays to make it special? Other traditions? Curious. 😀
