She tried minimalism for a week. 

i think this is such a healthy partnership/marriage, respecting each other's principles and being open to each other's choice of lifestyle.

I practise minimalism every day - it’s called being poor.

About 6 months ago I went through my closet to get rid of stuff. I gave myself 20 minutes to do it so that I wouldn't overthink each item. If it was stained or too small or I just hadn't worn it in the last 3 months, it got pulled out. I gave myself about 15 minutes to do my dresser drawers. When it was all piled in my floor I didn't fold it and neatly bag it. I stuffed it in bags and put them in the front seat of my car (which would force me to donate them to a woman's shelter or else my kids wouldn't fit in the car lol). I knew if I sat and folded them, some of them would have ended up back in my closet. I HAD to set these parameters because I def get overwhelmed with the task of decluttering. Minimalism has really fascinated me the last 7 or so years.

Natalie's smile is the essence of contagious happiness and I wish I had that in my daily life. What a ray of sunshine.

The intro screams "If Matt were a girl" God, I love Natalie. She's hilarious

Am i the only one who actually wanted them to show us the actual days going by as she enjoys or dislikes this lifestyle, not just the decluttering process?

Natalie is so ... Soo.. it just made me very happy to watch her energy. She didn't like doing this but atleast she wasn't complaining all the time. Like I would have. She is the kind of person who uplifts people around her!

Honestly, the "decluttering is a chore.. who wants to do a chore? Oh wait, you do" is soooo relevant. I'm also a minimalist/organizer and a while back my husband was answering a question about what I like to do and he said "you like to organize" and my immediate reaction was "no, it's a necessity!" but I kept thinking about it and... I realized... I *do* like to organize O_O It's such a refreshing feeling to reset your space or optimize your routine (which has inevitably shifted or changed in some way over the course of a few months)!

What you really means is: “She tried Matt Davellism for a week”

I like how Natalie’s character is quick paced and Matt’s is calm and cool. They are complete opposites yet seemingly perfectly compatible.

I love how she places her face in Matt's palm every time he extends it :P so endearing

Best video ever!!! Nothing will convince you more of decluttering and changing eventually to minimalism, than seeing a person wade through all of her stuff and then reflect on your own stuff. I am so happy, that I have started about a year ago.

I like how "no" in natalies accent is "nuoawr"

I like how Natalie is sitting in front of the 'Sydney' poster and Matt in front of the 'New York' poster while talking to e/o. Kind of symbolic...

Her: I have 11000 unread emails Me with 82k: you gotta bump those up, those are rookie numbers.

I love love how she didn't succumb to the trends and had herself pretty sorted on what she wants and needs. She sounds and seems so smart and confident❤️

That intro is like a minimalist horror film. The black swan or something. Or an episode of the office...

I found it extremely cute when she landed her chin into your palm. So cute

When natalie said "which means I have room for shopping" HAHAHAHA it got meeeee so good😂

YES! Picking out outfits genuinely brings me joy too Natalie! Clothing is a way to communication non-verbally and a form of expression.

This is the type of content that's fascinating to watch. I would love to see someone who's a minimalist try out materialism

This was a weird episode of black mirror.

I loved this approach! Self reflection and learning are the best takeaways in any experiment.

the cut is soo amazing! love the first minute and the "shooking looking you" inbetween moments

13:36 Natalie: "Which means I have room for shopping." Matt: "Wait! What? Turn this thing off." Natalie: "Hey?!"

Natalie is so refreshing! Although minimalism and self development is important and improves the quality of many who practice it, sometimes people get addicted to looking for something sub par in themselves. I love how Natalie is so unapologetically confident in her characteristics and it's refreshing to see an example of someone who is happy with themselves. Thanks for brightening up my day, you guys are awesome!

I absolutely loved this. Your wife is fun and I enjoyed her chipper personality and seeing how patient you are with each other’s different views.

This video popped up in my feed out of the blue, and I've just gotta say it was such a joy to watch! Your dynamic is adorable! ☺️

Nat is the cutest thing, everyone deserves someone as supportive as her

Matt: Do you use all these condiments? Natalie: Yes. Matt: Do you get value out of all these condiments? Natalie: Yes. Matt: You can keep the condiments. Natalie: Yay! My favorite part of the whole video.

The beauty about being a minimalist is that everyone can have their own version and pace. You don’t need to have just 1 thing but even smaller cut backs are progress.

ooooh my god when all the screenshots stacked up, that was the most satisfying thing ever. Kinda got chills lmao

I think Natalie is already a minimalist because she only has stuff that she finds joy in 😄 Minimalism isn’t about having the least things possible, it’s about only having stuff that “sparks joy” ☺️

I didn’t choose becoming a minimalist, my bank account did

I find it so interesting how a minimalist and a nonminimalsit can live together seemingly harmoniously. I love it! I assumed that Matt as a minimalist would be super agitated by Nats things around him at all times. Do you just kind of block them out since they are not yours?

omg the beginning cracked me up. I just love your videos! Always brings a smile to my face, thank's Matt!

Matt's stomach: "You can keep the condiments."

What you need to look like Matt: *Grey T-shirt, Black Jeans, Beanie and Glasses* .

Love your videos Matt. They are so organized, informative and funny all at the same time.

Love Natalie's energy and how positive and honest she is❣️

*I'm not forcing her I just told her I really want her to or else...*

When Matt said "call in a favor and ask an expert" I was legit expecting Marie Kondo for a second.

Love the experiment! So fun to listen to ❤ we need more Nat!

I loved your video and edition, Matt! Very well done! Great effort, Nathalie!

I'm impressed with how much Nat is honest with her feelings about minimalism

6:43 *Hygge* - Hygge is a Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment.

Love the channel Matt. Definitely keen on trying the minimalist lifestyle!

i really love the aesthetic and humor in this video 💕 I'm thinking about minimalism, but like in a simple and personal way...because I'd still like to keep personal things from my childhood, but I get easily distracted and anxious when i see a messy room...i even always think i have got too much clothing....I'm definitely going to consider it 😍

Normal people when they want to film someone's reaction of a prank: >record them with phone Matt: >fkg giant RED camera

He wants to back up because he's scared of losing files. She doesn't want to back up because she's scared of losing files.

This was definitely fun to watch! I tried minimalism too and I relate to Natalie. I love my stuff! I enjoy life more with it. I got bored with only a few make-up items and outfits. I do like food minimalism however because when you have too much, some of it gets forgotten and expires. Plus, I try to only keep fresh foods that I know I will eat because I hate wasting food. Therefor, the fridge looks bare, but it contains only what I know I can eat in a couple of days. And then I shop again :).

Your relationship is so sweet! I can feel your care, warmth and connection! Awe...

IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE NATHALIE

“Hey Siri... huga definition.” “Hygge: noun. A quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).”

I love her self-confidence and that she is so completely at home with what she likes. But also great that she took on the challenge. :)

My girls and I loved this one! Natalie is awesome. We loved how she tried it but did not like it. I respect both of you so much for respecting each other's differences. Way to go. The Stanton Family

"What might look like absolute chaos is a very organised system in my head" - I definitely could relate to that 😅

Dauym... she got a lot of personality. Maybe so much that she needs her own channel!

She’s so cute! “I thought it was like the TikTok challenge”

this was sooo sooo amazing ahhhhhhhhh thank you soo much for creating this !!!!!!

If Natalie hasn’t already, she should start a channel.

When she said, “11,333 unread emails,” I was like, YAY!!!! FINALLY, overstuffed email inbox validation! I thought I was all alone! I paused the video to check and see how my inbox compares...and...oh. I am indeed alone. 125,316 unread emails. 😒 Minimalism, I hear you now.

I almost DIED when you two started going through her computer and phone. That's my husband to a T. His desktop gives me actual heart palpitations (and that is not hyperbole). He has over 6,000 unread messages in his inbox. At least his phone isn't a total disaster. I'm the minimalist. Oh, and I'm OCD. It's... a challenge. :) You two are a hoot. Thanks to Natalie for sharing. Love your work, Matt!

Loved the effort that was put into the video! 11:26 Her expression is so cute! ❤️

That opening sequence might just be the greatest thing you’ll ever make!

I'm just shocked that I haven't found one single person commenting about how huge that cactus is.

I love this video. Perhaps one of my favorites! Wish you would include Nat in more of your videos!

I really really love your videos and you guys as a couple, thank you!

I love that you guys are so different than each other. It’s kinda cool.

This was me and my husband 6 months ago... he has found it help his anxiety and stress. Also the house seems lighter and brighter which really helps our home vibe and atmosphere :)

I love this video ! The way you speak, the way you videotape, the way of thinking ! Niceee And I do see minimalism being good for me because I get overwhelmed by everything! But I don’t think I’d be as minimal ... which is ok👌🏼 the whole point is to keep what you really use and do away with what you don’t ... and when adding something new you take and do away with the old 🤗✨♥️👍🏼🤘🏼

I've just moved and have been thinking of using quarantine's extra free time to apply some minimalism principles in my new place. wish me luck! ps: you and nat acting together is EVERYTHING TO ME 🤣🤣🤣

4 minutes online, and so many comments. Insane Matt, i must say, i do miss your podcasts. I used to drive to work with them.

“I guess I don’t need glitter eyeshadow” 🤣

You and Natalie are so adorable! That intro, I cannnooot 💛💛

13:25 the most genuine reaction i have ever seen throughout my youtube watching history Also one of my most favourite parts other than her Nooooourrrhhhhs 😂🙂

sometimes i envy people like Nat who can have a lot of stuff and also actively enjoy it. people whose lifestyle would def overwhelm me but they can easily navigate it like it's "their" mess

2:47 - The Australian "no" is one of the most difficult sounds for an American to make. My wife and I routinely practice this with little to no success. Is it a "n'yo"? "nehro"? Who kneyos.

I love the art above their heads on the couch they were talking on.

Happy shopping Natalie!!

For everyone wondering what "Hygge" means: Hygge is a Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment.

Project 333: 33 items for 3 months Me: having less than 33 items for the past 3 years cuz im broke

13:25 that was the cutest thing I’ve seen for long time. Don’t know why 🥰🤪🤪

Congratulations on your engagement!🎉

I love how this demostrates that you don't have to be with a person that has the same exact taste or enjoy the same things as you do. That's love, man/woman. Gorgeous

I swear I enjoyed this video so much, never laughed that hard in one of your videos. Natalie is so cute and the tik tok challenge thing was one of the best part. Love your dynamics, loved the pranks, loved the intro and I loved the video. I hope you keep doing RU-vid until I get old, your life advices are honestly so helpful and great. Thank you so much

This is honestly inspiring me, this might change my life lol I love your videos smmmmm❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I haven't watched a Matt's video in a longtime...i am a glad that I watched this ❤

In the end : )))) Natalie : I found all things I don't use anymore so I have room for shopping. Matt: Wait... What?? hahahahaha

Next week: Introducing the Matt D'Avella Store! Buy the D Kit: beanies, glasses, gray shirts and coffee equipment to get you started on minimalism! New "Feeling Extra Hygge" merch! Biceps not included.

You are awesome guys! Great video

I loved it when Nat put her face in your palm. You two are sooo cute😊

When he said he'd call an expert on decluttering I went: MARIE KONDOOOOOOO

That intro made my day. Honestly Nat is like the cutest person ever. DONT TOUCH HER STUFF!!!

Such a good video and a lot of entertainment! Keep it up Matt & Natalie

That intro made my day! :) Love you guys!

Did Matt D’Avella just call himself not an expert in minimalism?!!

Beautiful video here, minimalism makes everything so much calmer. this is not only physically but also internally! Get rid of the thoughts and clutter inside that are bogging you down!

Thank you for posting :). I practice minimalism as well and picked up a few tips.

33 items is very doable during quarantine. I only used the same 3 items when going to the grocery.
