Everything I own as a Minimalist (99 Things) 

I appreciate your honesty! It's quite common to have that realization after watching a video on minimalism. Recognizing the abundance of stuff we accumulate can be eye-opening. Take this opportunity to evaluate your belongings and let go of what no longer serves you. Remember, minimalism is a personal journey, and it's all about finding the right balance for you. Embrace the process of decluttering and be open to the positive changes it can bring. Wishing you clarity and a lighter, more intentional living space!

Aww thank you 🫶 Why not making it look cute when we anyway need it hehe

Absolutely! Our wardrobes often become a reflection of our personal journeys, carrying pieces of our memories, passions, and stories. Sentimentality and hobbies indeed play a huge role in what we hold onto. Regular reflection and decluttering can be enlightening, helping us discern between cherished treasures and what we can let go. It's all about finding that perfect harmony in what we own and what resonates with our heart. Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful insight!

Oh, IKEA trips! They have a way of making us discover things we never knew we 'needed'. 😆 Don't feel bad, it's all part of the experience! Here’s to spreading the sparkle of simple living, one less thing at a time. Stay joyful! 💛 - Carmen

I couldn't agree more! Watching videos showcasing what other minimalists own is like a treasure trove of inspiration and ideas. I'm thrilled that you found it fun to watch!

Creativity is such a gift, and it's okay to have tools that support your passion. Maybe it's about finding a mindful approach to storing and cherishing them. Remember, the goal isn't to have the least amount but to have just the right amount for you. Stay sparkly and inspired! ✨

I reckon this! I love seeing Minimalism video's. Only which I would be able to downsize that much, but I love (most) of my things. Currently in the proces of loving all my things and getting rid of the ones I don't ;-)

@@carmensegattini thanks for the input it helps

@@anouktimmermans yes that's what I'm doing too.

I am a minimalist with my personal life but not with my crochet/sew/writing stuff.

Thank you so much for your kind words 🫶

Oh, I totally get it! 🌼 There are some things we simply can't declutter - looking at you, toilet brush! 😂 Embrace your journey and find joy in every item, big or small! 🍀

I'm so glad to hear that you found the video helpful! Decluttering and adopting a minimalist lifestyle can be a transformative experience. It's all about creating a space that reflects your values and brings you joy. Thank you for your kind words and for joining me on this minimalist journey. Remember, every step towards simplicity counts. Have a wonderful day filled with lightness and positivity!

I'm thrilled to hear that you found the video inspiring. Keeping track of everything I own has been an important aspect of my minimalist journey. It helps me stay mindful of my possessions and ensures that I only keep what truly adds value to my life. I'm glad you appreciated this approach. Wishing you a joyful and intentional minimalist journey as well!

I commend you for recognizing the need for minimalism in your life. Embrace the journey and take it at your own pace. Remember, every small change contributes to a more intentional and fulfilling life. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Embracing minimalism has allowed me to curate a wardrobe that truly reflects my personal taste and brings me joy.

💫

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you loved the video. Counting your things is a great step towards simplifying and finding more clarity in your life. Wishing you a fulfilling path towards a more intentional life!

Thank you so much! Embracing the joy of minimalism is a journey, and I'm thrilled to share it with all of you 💫

Every hair type has its unique needs, doesn't it? Embracing what works for you is the true essence of minimalism. It's all about finding what fills your joy-cup and making it work for your lifestyle. Keep shining with your beautiful curly hair!

You bring up a valid point! Living in shared apartments often means that certain items, such as household dishes and pots, are communal resources rather than personal possessions. That's why I didn't count them. As for my career transition, after being a hairdresser, I decided to pursue a new path in marketing in a digital consulting firm. It was a shift driven by my urge to work remotely, and I'm grateful for the growth and fulfillment it has brought to my life. Change can be a beautiful opportunity for personal and professional development! Thank you for your thoughtful comment!

I can totally relate to that 🤗 I myself own so little but I do currently live in the apartment of my boyfriends grandmother and there is such lovely old stuff like records, cameras, etc. and I actually appreciate it 💖 I think the key is to find the amount of belongings that best serve your life. I personally don’t like to own to much because I don’t really want to care for it as it takes a lot of energy and can get exhausting. But as long as you appreciate your items and like to take care of them that’s amazin💖 Still, looking at a minimalist, reduced place can be a calming experience for everyone. Sending love 🥰

Thank you, beauty! 🌟

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Congrats on adapting a minimalist philosophy in your life even at your young age. That’s amazing! I feel like generations are different, our parents maybe grew up having only little, so for them it’s the best thing to live a maximalist lifestyle. I personally grew up having lots of things that made me feel distracted so I was craving to live with less. All the best with your journey ahead, you are doing great 🫶

I get you. I am not that young but still I am only 21. However my parents used to live in time of big inflation where the whole month pay if you mennaged to be on time you could buy only one pack of cigarettes, literally. They gone to the job while they been bombarded. The only reason why most people are still alive it's because they had their own things , their field and animals to have food. People that lived in apartment starved. So now when they have money , for years they have so much unnecessary stuff. Like we have around 14 closets and some stuff are in something similar to garage . And we have 4 rooms like that. It full of clothes and stuff that weren't touched for 15-20 years . And if I try to move them they are angry at me and they just don't wanna move them less to toss them. So I constantly get rid of my stuff so that I have space for my stuff. I am slowly becoming minimalist. But that is bc I live in a room with 3 closets, one is full of dead grampas clothes (he died when I was 5) , one is for grandmas and random stuff and the third one is where are all my clothes , accessories, cosmetics,games , everything is in one closet and we live in 2 floors house. Sometimes you just need to look at why are you in situation that you are in . Mine became hoarders bc they didn't have anything and I am trying to be minimalist bc I can't breathe because of unnecessary stuff.

That’s absolutely a different situation! I am sure you need much more clothes 🫶

Thank you for the love! Sunglasses are shown in the video, while toothbrushes and beauty products are consumables. As for blankets and pillows, they belong to the space i live in. So glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for the love! Oh, the pink sweater is one of my favorites too - it's actually my boyfriends sweater from back when he was in boarding school 🙊 Your essentials list sounds wonderful. Each item has its own story and purpose. Keep celebrating the little joys in life, one essential at a time!

@@carmensegattini That's cool about the sweater and that you adopted from your boyfriend!

yes exactly !

Absolutely! Taking inventory can be such an enlightening experience. As for consumables like perfume and lotion, I haven't included them in this list. The idea is to focus on long-lasting items and evaluate consumables separately 💫

They are definitely amazing! They are from the brand OYSHO 👌

The epilator model I used in the video is the Philips Satinelle Essential. It's a great choice for smooth and hassle-free hair removal. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it interesting. Thank you for your kind words!

@@carmensegattini thank you for replying, dear! Buona notte!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it inspiring! When it comes to items like candles, I view them as consumables rather than possessions in the traditional sense. They add a delightful ambiance to my space, but once they are burned and depleted, they no longer remain in my possession. Keep up the decluttering efforts, and remember, minimalism is a personal journey that unfolds at its own pace. You're doing great!

Thank you ❤️

They were second hand and unfortunately fell apart so I don’t have them anymore and can not check the label for you. But it was fast fashion, no known brand. They look nice here but weren’t the best steel so nothing you missed 😅 sorry I don’t have a better answer for you tho 🤗 Thank you for watching!

Thank you for asking! The bra top I'm wearing in the video is from OYSHO. It's a comfortable and stylish addition to any minimalist wardrobe.

Update 190 tings now.🥰 proud. Could be less but I need some things to live like my special bed for my bad back and kitchen tings because I want to be Able to cook 🎉🥰😎

Congratulations on downsizing to 190 things! That's a significant accomplishment. It's important to prioritize our needs and make room for the things that enhance our daily life, like your special bed and kitchen utensils for cooking. You're doing a fantastic job of finding the right balance for yourself!

All questions are welcome 💫 The pink one is from Luli Fama Swimwear. The other one I don’t know, it was very old and I just substituted it for a white one from Leonessa Lingerie 🌼

@@carmensegattini thank you! I really enjoyed this video 😊

Hello, lovely! 🌟 So glad you enjoyed the video. When it comes to sleepwear, I must confess, I have a penchant for borrowing my boyfriend's t-shirts. They're the coziest! ✨

That’s cheating! 🤣☺️

I don’t! But I will not it and maybe in the future I can make a minimalist essentials list 🙌

Hi! Sentimental items hold a special place in our hearts, don't they? Instead of keeping physical mementos, I've adopted a more minimalist approach. I focus on cherishing the memories and finding creative ways to honor them, like creating digital albums or writing heartfelt letters. It's about finding a balance between letting go and holding onto the essence of those moments.

@@carmensegattini Watched your video.again.So inspiring. Did you keep your Zeugnisse? As well which documents did you keep?

Hello, lovely! 🌟 You've nailed it! Currently, I'm living in my boyfriend's apartment, so most of the furniture belongs to him. When we officially move in together, I'll surely add some of my own touches to our shared space. And yes, you're right about the toothbrush - it's essential but since it's disposable, it doesn't make my personal belongings list. It's all about finding what works best for each of our minimalist journeys! 💕

Most of my clothes are lightweight and fast drying, so I tend to hand wash them on a regular basis rather than waiting for it to bulk up 🙏💫

Totally agree. The competition part is a general problem of the internet though, not necessarily a minimalist-only problem.

Haha thank you 😻

I do not have my own apartment so I don’t own any of this items. But just last week I bought three plants that burst glitter in my heart 💜 As for hobbies I don’t own anything but rent or borrow things whenever I need something specific 💫 Remember, it's not about having less for the sake of it, but about making space for what truly matters. Keep seeking the joy in the little things!

That’s great, I also try to use it less and go with my natural curls 🥰🙌

I currently don’t live in a permanent apartment, so I can use this stuff from the apartments I live in (boyfriend, family or friends) 💫

Thank you for your thoughtful questions! I wash my underwear by hands every other day + I live in Switzerland in summer and in the south of France in Winter, so wearing bikinis is probably a bit more common to me than for someone else. There is rarely a week without a bikini day. As for sleep, I steal my boyfriends t-shirts! Minimalism is about finding solutions that work for you 🤭 And don’t worry, I was seeing this problems in the past as well. But once I started a more radical approach I realised, that reality is way easier than expected. Lots of love to you!

Wishing you a touch of fairy magic in your own minimalist adventures. Stay sparkly!

@@carmensegattini ✨💖✨

I guess they belong to her boyfriend. :)

Hi, beauty! 💫 I totally understand the curiosity. Life's chapters have taken me through furnished apartments to my boyfriend's space. When the time comes for my own space, I'll definitely be intentional about every kitchen item, from fork to ovenware. Thanks for being on this journey with me! 💖

Thanks for sharing your book recommendation 🫶

If you love them that’s great 🫶 everyone is different ❤️

Fair point, luckily I always live in furnished apartments so I don't miss out on that :)

@@carmensegattini 😄👍

I love your floor! Got rid of all carpet! Home feels so fresh and clean without It. I find everything dust, hair etc sunk down in carpet no matter how much you vacuum!

Good catch! I gave it away last year. It served me nicely for years but somehow I stopped loving it. It wasn't so practical for the daytime and then at night it was somehow not chic enough. I wanted to keep loving it for a long time but I found myself just putting the stuff in my jacket/vest instead of carrying that bag. Life changes I guess :)

Don’t worry, every item has its story. If ever you feel the need to simplify, I'm here with all the sun-shining vibes to guide you. Embrace what brings you joy and remember: it's all about living with lightness. Stay sparkly! ☀️ - Carmen
