I have 9 children, 8 still living at home, so frugality is important! We do a lot of the things you do, and some we don't. We don't have a tv! We do watch videos occasionally on the computer. We love to read, so we utilize our local libraries or buy used books. We take advantage of "free days" at local museums or zoos. We hike and bike a lot. We rarely eat out unless it's a special occasion. Homemade meals, although I'm not as great as everything organic or homemade bread, etc. We don't use essential oils either, but we do use vitamin supplements as well. I love L'bri skin products - my splurge. I do free you tube workout videos. Rarely buy coffee when I'm out, would have to be a special date breakfast with my husband. We pretty much buy all our clothes brand new, etc. A big splurge for us is putting out kids in a good Christian school, that is a priority to us over other "stuff." Just a few things I thought of. I have enjoyed watching a few of your videos I recently came across. I especially enjoyed your testimony of coming to Christ, praise God! I was born again when I was 18 years old, was a nominal catholic until I came to true faith in Christ. Saved by grace through faith!

GOLD! This video is absolute gold! I feel like we have such a similar mindset! Thank you for all the inspiration!

Yes on the essential oils! They aren't actually good for us. Loved all of these!

Love this !!!

These were good!! I agree about the candles. I quit using them because they’re aren’t good for your hormones.

Love this list and I relate so much to almost all of it! One of my favorites to not buy is brand new clothing, thrift stores and thredUP are my go-tos for the whole household ✨ Merry Christmas friend!

Thank you so much for this!! My husband and I have been chatting recently about how to be more frugal, and were honestly not coming up with many things. I’m excited to share with him the ideas you gave us here! I’ll also definitely be checking out Deep Nutrition as the health of my family has been at the front of my mind recently. Thanks again, Kyrie! Happy New Year!

Hi, I am a new subscriber over from Hiliary of Old World Home. I found this vlog very interesting. I have eliminated some of the things you mentioned. Here I thought i was doing well with the seed oil like canola ect but wondered what oil you use for baking. So many recipes call for vegetable oil. Look forward to watching more of your vlog.

New clothes for children were a rarity at our home when my kids were young. Between children’s consignment shops, thrift shops and kids sales one can find great high end brands at a fraction of the cost! My trade-off was I purchased well-made shoes from a quality manufacturers.

I have really been trying to consciously live this way too. I just want to be a great steward of what the Lord has blessed me with

Its so nice to see posts like this! So many mamas my age around me are astonished at the things I wont buy or spend money on lol

I think you would enjoy the book Salt Sugar Fat. Completely changed the way I look at the food industry and how/what I eat!

Love this and I’m same love plants can’t keep them also I love your paint colour what shade is it please ?

I would like to know what do you use for body and laundry “fragance” if not even using essential oil 😢

I don't buy napkins! Lol We don't pay for cable tv.

Yes! Sunscreen and sunglasses are excellent ones! We MUST get that vitamin D naturally and getting sunlight in your eyes is absolutely essential!

Wow, this was a lot! While I really like you and have enjoyed the videos I’ve watched of yours and subscribed, this one gave me an uneasy vibe. I am older, so I know it has a bit to do with that, but I think it would be good for you to rewatch this video and notice the passion with which you are expressing your commitment to nontoxic ingredients and frugality, etc. Maybe you’re just a huge perfectionist by nature, but I’m uneasy by hearing how much you have thought about these things and how important they seem to be to you. I have heard other young women on KZfaq expressing similar ideas(maybe not to this extreme), so it probably doesn’t stand out to you. I think it’s great to want to try to keep your family healthy and save money. I don’t think it’s healthy to be so committed to it, though. It’s hard to express what I mean, but anything taken to extremes can be unbalanced. I think it’s admirable that you don’t use sugar as a rule, but a little here or there isn’t going to hurt anything. Idk, many young women these days are so obsessed with physical health that it has almost become a religion and it seems one feels pressured to out-health and out-frugal the next. I like you a lot, but you may end up making your kids twitch with your intensity about all these things, feeling like they can’t breathe for all the attention to every detail of every. single. thing. Maybe relax a little?
