After living a simple, minimalist lifestyle for over 10 years, one of the things I love most about it is that it helps me to save so much time. I’m talking hours and hours on a weekly basis. We can use that time for things that are truly valuable to us. Like in my case, doing online classes to learn to speak Spanish! 🙂 In today’s video
Lots of love,
???? Vera

Hi Vera. I enjoy watching your channel. I was just curious, what is your first language?
I decluttered a lot. I find that with space, rooms etc I prefer empty, easy spaces. (But one thing I gave up and really missed was my fun clothes and makeup. I don’t care that I have a lot of clothes, nailpolish, eyeshadow etc. Getting ready and playing dress up everyday makes me so happy and I’m not giving that up. I feel like minimalism is a great tool for organisation, but if you have something you love like a lot of books, designer bags or any other collection that makes you happy don’t give that up. Yes throw away random useless things that you don’t use, but there is a balance and you shouldn’t give up your personality for utilitarity
The backlog items definitely resonated with me, I had so many arts and crafts projects that I bought which I had for years and never got around to, so I recently donated them to a community cafe in my area that does arts and crafts classes. My art area has more space now and my mind feels so much less cluttered as a result!
Thank you for this very nice video! I have quite short hair and am thinking about going back to long hair because you need to wash/style short hair every day and get it cut every 6 weeks or so ???????? the Social media and phone game thing I'm very guilty of… maybe I'll do a little digital detox upcoming week and see how that goes????????‍????????
Where did you get your periwinkle sweater
Good morning here in Canada. The topic of the gel nails and even just nail polish – a nurse at the foot clinic I go to said that your nails are an organ on your body as well and they need to be able to breath so if you put anything ie: gel nails or nail polish, etc on them -that's not healthy for your nails. Really that makes sense.
Hi Vera, congrats on the new apartment and good luck with the move. ????????????
All great tips as usual, I found the high maintenance part refreshing. I've been following some minimalist channels and they're all about the highest quality you can get for durability, especially for clothes. But when I look at the videos of how they care for their clothes, I get tired just by watching. Can't imagine putting in all that effort myself.
So it's nice to see someone looking for a good compromise. ????????
For example I stay away from wool and cashmere sweaters because they require so much effort. I've gone with 100% cotton knit which is machine washable. It'll still last years without having to hand wash with special detergent and dry in a special way.
For my home I've also picked slightly cheaper items for things like coffee table and tv stand where I know I will have friends over, families with kids. I don't wanna stress about someone damaging something I spent a lot of money on. I invested in our bed, mattress etc because I know we can take good care of them and they will last.
Tu español es muy bueno! Saludos de una suscriptora de España ????????????
I have cut social media a lot. I don’t keep the apps on my phone. If I actually want to see social media things I have to log in. This way I’m not tempted to clicking the app out of habit. It has worked for me.
