Everything I Own || Extreme Minimalism 

I must have a million things. I keep getting rid of stuff but people keep giving me stuff. Today I went to the mall because I needed makeup and I walked around and I saw two handbags I loved. My weakness is handbags. But I made myself walk away. I bought my makeup product and they looked like they had a lot of new items but I told her that was all I wanted. Walked out and left. So proud of myself!

I love that you kept a lot of skin care products because it was important to you. You did an amazing job. I have struggled with minimalism for years, trying to get to my "happy minimalist point" with no luck. Sitting at my desk, it's pretty safe to say that I have over 139 items in this area alone though I have purged several times and even downsized my desk. Sigh. The struggle continues. Awesome video and motivation though.

Minimalism is not about getting rid of everything you own it's about getting rid of the things you don't need are you never use that are cluttering up your space.

"Camera, lol" My favorite part

I know its non of my business but please please please don't use tennis balls for dogs - the fibers on a tennis ball often is made of glass fiber or nylon it picks up sand and when the dog catches it carries it and chew on it, it is SUPER abrasive to the teeth often you can see on older dogs that the enamel is all gone on the top of the tooth essentially exposing the tooth bone - I know they like the tennis ball but the fun they have now they will pay with tooth ache later in life if their toy is a tennis ball...

Being a wife of a new pilot, I'll be moving fairly consistently for the next 5 years. I'm so sick and tired of packing and unpacking all this stuff. I know that I'll never be a "true" minimalist as I have a lot of hobbies that require a number of possessions like crafting, but I'd really love to be able to pack in a week instead of 1+ months. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos on your channel. You just got a new sub. 😊

I lived in rural India this past summer and it was a great experiment in extreme minimalism! I had brought only a suitcase and a backpack with me, and actually didn't end up using half of what I brought (clothing - most of it ended up not suiting the climate or culture)! I thought I had pared down a lot before going to India, but when I returned I had a huge pile of things to get rid of that I had left in storage 😊

i'm up for minimalism... but.. being extreme is not the path. just keep it simple, not overly cluttered. imho

'hey can i come over' 'yeah just bring ur own plate and cutlery'

I love how you know your priorities such as skincare! :)

I don't understand why you refer to yourself as 'the bad minimalist.' maybe it's for comedic purposes but you are very good at maintaining the lifestyle and have much discipline. keep it up 👍

wow it is great that you included such things as kitchen utensils, laundry or even your car 😂 very honest and inspiring❤️

Completely off topic from the whole video, but your makeup is AMAZING! You look beautiful!

that dog is adorable oh my goodness

this was a very relaxing video to watch! I moved to a new apartment recently and your channel is really inspiring honestly because it's not like those channels that put a lot of effort into the asthetic of minimalism does that make sense? like it doesn't come across like you're flaunting minimalism which makes it super relatable and sweet :)

When I check how many things my pet (dog) has, I realize he only needs 3 cloth: a raincoat, a thundershirt, a pajama LOL. I realize how shame the human being needs some many clothes!! 139 things seems much but not really. Normal people have thousands of things they even don't realized until they actually count it like you do!

Couldn't watch the entire video before first telling you how CUTE Gertrude is!! What a sweetheart! Interesting video!

just found your channel and I'm sooo motivated. I love that you have the things that you tend to splurge on (total wise) and it makes me so happy. You're the greatest bad minimalist ever and I'm so glad I found your channel. sooo rad!

It was really good too see your update now after the challenge. I have managed to down-size about 90% of my stuff (I used to be a hoarder)... So it's so enlightening to still see how little you own and how much I could downsize even more than I already have! I recently made a minimalist wardrobe tour with 44 items. I still didn't include my shoes or coat - so i still need to downsize even more! I think I need to just do the challenge again :P Thank you for sharing your minimalist journey and inspiring others to live a simpler life :)

Well done! I love how you organized everything for filming. Makes it logical to see and emulate. Thank you!

Did you not have a hair brush? Or any kind of hair clips or ties?

Love the video, it seems like an interesting experiment for everyone to try! I'd consider myself a minimalist but definitely not "an extreme minimalist'. I'm not exactly sure what my item count is at but I know I can fit everything into my small car trunk which definitelyyy comes in handy when moving. It's kind of cool to see more and more people rejecting consumerism/hoarding, collecting or living a high waste output life. I know a lot of people diss minimalism for whatever reason, but for me it's severely helped my OCD and has helped me focus on more important things in life. Thanks for sharing!

This was really interesting and informative, thanks for sharing :)

Great job! I think your items are a more realistic goal for me to acheive at the moment. My husband and I are both trying to minimalize our material items and your video inspired me very much.

I'd be happy if all I owned was Glossier! Great job on paring down to just the essentials. Good luck on your minimalism journey!

Skin care stuff for you is kitchen stuff for me. If something gives you joy it's important to keep around! Thanks for sharing.

Great job ! You and Gertrude have worked so hard to get here !

I'll never be an extreme minimalist but I like to watch the videos because they can show you whats possible beyond what you think is possible.

Neat video! I am experimenting with the minimalism lifestyle and I think people taking it to the extreme is really interesting. Are you going to make a video after this one sharing your thoughts and what you have learned while getting down to under 140 items? Keep up the great work!

Awesome! I love the extreme minimalism!

Love Gertrude so, so much. Hah so adorable. Great work!

i love how simple this is

i loved it when you said about skincare that its a lot but you dont regret it.

Gertudes stuff..so cute..reminds me of when i put up my cats stuff to vacuum n they swarm around to make sure im not taking it away😂

This is extremely inspiring to me! You rocked this challenge & your eyebrows are on point! 😁✨💖

i ALWAYS come back to this video for motivation

Wow, I'm really impressed! Well done girl!

You go girl. Inspirational!

I have more items than that on my bedroom floor alone... Well done on being able to get down to the essentials, it's not easy to declutter!

You:“Living with 140 items” Me: *looks at bookshelf* *looks at video games* “Well... Well shit”

Looks pretty minimalist to me. Good job! Your place is pretty awesome.

Same razor! :D Love the thing and the blades are so much cheaper and less wasteful! Love your shoes looking into a pair! :D

i missed that razor...hahaha😆...used it when i was 13yrs old...after 30 yrs...surprise to see it as they are still selling it...loved your video....yea me too..trying to get rid of many things and also not to buy if i dont need it....beautiful simple make up...lovin that😘

This would be so hard for me, I get so bored by everything, and keeping this little stuff would kill me. I can't deal wearing the same stuff every week or even looking at a bare room all the time. This is very impressive. My strive for excitement is strong

I enjoyed the video, the doggy at 1m36 was such a cute surprise 😍 I'm a minimalist too but I don't consider myself an extreme one, but this can be very different for everyone. 😊 Grtz, Vera from Simple Happy Zen

LOVE THIS!! I needed to watch this. Thank you for making such an inspiring video:):) Newest subscriber!

I feel like a messy hoarder by comparison. I'm actually meticulously organized. I wouldn't even bother with reducing stuff if it wasn't for my need to travel. Relocating means packing stuff. It's annoying. You're got this! I still have too much stuff.

Thank you for sharing. This was very interesting. Like you, skin care is my favorite form of self-care. I think that I spied the Glossier Jelly Cleanser and the concealer. I'm going to check your channel for reviews, as I've been curious about their products.

I love your videos, you seem so raw and real! You're also very pretty!

Minimalism is deffo easier for a lot of us guys because we don't have all the make up and skincare crap to consider! For me it's shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, dove soap or shower gel (though i do like to have both), deodorant, air wax and a hairbrush and that's not me trying to be minimalist! That's just all the stuff i need to maintain myself in a decent manner and not smell like a shepherds pie when i leave the house!

I want to start purging all the things I have so I can have less clutter. I find that lately I have a hard time concentrating because of the clutter that constantly surrounds me! Haha I'm an artist and I love books so I have tons of art supplies and books, I also have a lot of make up ad make up brushes too. ah! and clothes! goodness. Haha It's going to be tough.

Oh and I love your dog. I wouldn't even think of counting all my dogs stuff.

This video was so cool & interesting, thank you for sharing :)

Love this video! thank you for sharing your lifestyle

this challenge sounds great!!!!

I wish I had more willpower and discipline like you! Great job.

wow this was enlightening! I am going to count all my stuff now haha :)

Coconut oil is a miracle item. Works as a moisturizer, wrinkle cream, mild sunblock, makeup remover, leave in hair moisturizer,....ect

Wow! Good job that's awesome

the wool runners r so cute

This Video was so cool I Love your dog😍

I've been interested in minimalism not only because the aesthetic (I have an 8x10 room that even the slightest clutter makes it look like a huge mess) but also because I have so much stuff. I easily have over 150 pairs of underwear (thanks to working at Victoria's Secret for almost 3 years) and just a ton of stuff that I didn't even know I owned. Do you have any tips for decluttering for someone like me who finds a reason to keep EVERYTHING?

Such a cute doggie!

Wow this is really neat. ❤️

Love it! Thank you!

I like this kind of video. And I like this video. You do very good at live with only what you need. I admire you. 😍

WHAT A CUTE DOG

If you're counting every item, what about kitchen utensils, trash can, dish soap, sponge (or equivalent), sheets, shower curtain, cleaning supplies, furniture, art for the walls (or do you like bare walls), lights/lamps. Most people need bigger wardrobe for work. I'm just trying to understand the desire to not own enough to have company over (furniture, kitchen items, etc). I'm talking about Western countries or at least America where we have thrift stores and Dollar stores.

This was really really interesting to me wow 😌

Your dog is so adorable 😊

I enjoyed this video. I heart minimalism. : )

Your dog is sooo cute, her face, her whine. I'm in love. I tried to find more videos with her. Can you make one?? Maybe about being a minimalist with a pet? Is she a dachshund? (oh also, I'm here, because I live in a 300sq ft place (upgrade from 120 sqft) but constantly trying to minimize for similar reasons)

Nice job!

Super interesting video!! How often do you have to do laundry, if you don't mind me asking?

great video!!

I would never be able to do this! I have like a thousand things and that's after cleaning out haha

Amazing!

Cute doggie!!

plzzzzz do an updated everything i own video!!!

Wow I didn't know this challenge was a thing! I'll keep it in mind

I've never heard of this. Only the 30 day challenge by Rachel Aust. So I actually love this. After I move house I'll be giving this a go that's for sure. I have subscribed. 😊

I basically do this already tbh. I only use like 20 things out of my entire house. My bed n shit. A closet and 7 suits of clothes that I mix and match, 3 hats. 2 pairs of shoes. My phone and charger and headphones and school stuff. No more than 20 I use regularly lmao. Not counting stuff like bathroom things because my siblings also use those.

My hobbies: drawing: paintings, pencils, brushes, colors, easel, paper music: guitar, piano, notes, cd's, amp cycle sport: shirts, pants, jackets (both for winter and summer) can i still be a minimalist? XD

New sub! I am catching up on your channel but wondering what started you down this path. I’m striving to minimalism.

I was wondering through out this video why you dont have a hairbrush. I know its none of my buisness but how do you keep your hair so nice? Xx

Hi, vey cool! I know this old but just curious if you stayed extreme and if not how your belongings developed after this and where you are on your journey today? Cheers!

I really want to do one on these videos. Im borderline obsessive about decluttering...its a thing!

u go girl

Your video made me realize that I am an extreme minimalist 🤣

Hi! I really want to get into Buddhism and well I would like to live a minimal lifestyle but I have so many things! The hardest thing for me is that I emotionally attach myself to everything I own. How can I let go of my items without destroying who I am?

Honestly this looks like a reasonable amount of personal items for a human to have.... it is somehow very soothing to see.

Your scissors are really cute

I'm hoping one day to get down to like 500 items or less eventually.... I'm probably at about over 1000 right now

I'm new to minimalism. I've always thought it was cool but didn't understand that it didn't have to be extreme and also never had a big enough want to go try it. I started my journey around the middle of April this year. I'm not even half way to my goal of having less clothes/accessories. My weaknesses are shoes, t-shirts, and bags. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Wow a Great video.

Skincare isn't really that necessary you can just use aloe vera gel and that's all you need trust me

Don't need don't buy. That's my madow. And this way I'm never broke. 😊

Try kaia naturals deodorant ! No aluminium or any bad stuff in it! Learned about how bad some ingredients in one's deodorant their is..which is so scary!

Très inspirante, merci !

Ok... these are actually many things. For certain categories, I have less things and I don't even care about minimalism (I just found out this is a thing). Also, I have many cooking tools, as I am European and we cook our own food here.
