Write down if you’ve watched till the little cuteness at the end 👀😻

"I'm comfortable with my look". That's 90% of living a happy life right there. Good for you Vika.

i find it very hard to accept my 'minimalist' beauty when we see so many 'influencers' on the internet. it's refreshing tho to find someone like you :)

Can we take a moment to appreciate how cute you are and how well is red suiting you?

Your husband and daughter are both so cute. You are perfect the way you are. I can't believe the amount of money wasted on make-up and beauty treatments that don't work.

I absolutely love your approach, simplicity, and freedom from all these garbage that media and fashion created for women. It’s only business, we’re talking about gazillion dollars/pounds/whatever. You broke free from all of this, well done real human being ❤️😀 and let me tell you, you look beautiful and pure

When I was young and married , I gave everything away and we traveled the western United States . So I packed a bag and gave everything else away . These decisions came when I was 18 . Now I am 70 . This thinking served me well . When you move or travel your stuff is staring at you , what do I need , the rest has to go .

I love to hear this from a young person! I was about 50 when I stopped wearing makeup. I'm 68 now and have my 30 year old daughter wanting to take me for botox and do makeup on me. My hairdresser daughter-in-law offers me haircuts and dyes. I've said no to them so many times. I'm more concerned about who I am and not what I look like. You go girl!

You are a naturally beautiful woman and you have a heart of gold. Your English is excellent.

Being a woman comes with so much pressure... let's take that off our shoulders. Thank you for your videos! You're so inspiring!💕

You are a natural beauty! If only a lot of women realised that they look more beautiful without layers of makeup.

"I'm probably the only one who cares how my face looks" - Amazing way to put it! I stopped wearing make-up too, except for like a bit mascara occasionally at a festivity, but this sentence of yours gives me an interesting new perspective on that topic 👍😊

I do believe I’ve found my soulmate. So many things on that list I also don’t do. It’s also refreshing to see someone who doesn’t wear makeup (especially a KZfaqr).

You don’t need anything.You’re just beautiful, as you are. And your family, too.

You have so much wisdom! I don't like makeup or wear trendy clothes or high heels, either. Cheers from The Netherlands!

I don't wear makeup or jewelry or fashionable clothes. I do sometimes get my hair cut but at cheap hair cutting places. I also don't use beauty products or hair styling products. I don't even style my hair, I just brush it. It makes life so much simpler and cheaper. I love your channel and your family is adorable!

I agree that the fashion industry makes women feel they need to follow a lot of meaningless rules. I only have eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner/lipstick for special occasions. It all fits in one little bag, I have friends that have a whole suitcase of makeup! No judging, just different preferences. You're daughter is so cute! My little one is 8 months old, having a baby has helped me be more minimalist for sure.

This is like watching a video about myself. Ive always been this way. I love being a minimalist because I dont have to worry about possessions or the trappings of society. I can let them go. You are a kindred spirit to me.

Vika you are very mature and wise for your age. You are comfortable in your own skin...something most women are not. I am 67 and live in California in the United States and probably am just now getting comfortable with myself. We live in this society that doesn’t want to age and will do almost anything to avoid it. I congratulate you for not falling into this sink hole!!!!!

Your English is fantastic! Very few average Americans even use the word 'seldom'..I was impressed that you used it so perfectly, it sounds more 'proper' and it just sounded very natural when you said it. I wouldn't normally mention anything about it, but I have studied foreign language my whole life and know how difficult it is learn a second language..I know it's really hard work. :) Thank you for sharing your minimalist tips, it helped me feel more comfortable with making these choices even though sometimes they are looked down upon by other women.

I relate to everything you said !! great video, I finally feel like I'm not the only one who tries to embrace my natural beauty.

You are a natural beauty. Your beauty comes from within and shines out of your eyes. As I get older I find myself caring less and less about what others think, and finally feel the freedom to go without makeup more than half of the time now. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many! You have a beautiful family. ❤️

I totally related to this video! Used to wear lots of makeup, nail polish... not anymore. Natural beauty is much more healthy and gives me more freedom! Thanks!!😊

You can tell your husband is very happy with you he stands behind you sometimes when you do you're podcast and just smiles 😃

I use makeup and nailpolish but I do everything myself (nails, eyebrows, haircuts...). I'm working on feeling comfortable without makeup. Its sad that I don't feel pretty enough even if my boyfriend likes me best without it. Its good to see more women like you feeling comfortable and pretty just the way they are

Your very unique, your very pretty without makeup. And I love your mindset on spending money by not buying things you don’t need. Plus you have a beautiful personality. Love watching your channel.

I’m older than you and I’ve recently doing less to no makeup and my skin looks so much better and I actually get so many compliments

I feel like I finally found someone that has a similar mindset like me!😍 I always feel like I'm so left out, like all the girls are so pretty and wear girly outfits, make up, do their nails and go to salon. I literally lied to my real self to follow the society's standard. I think I want to start practicing embracing my natural beauty and live my life based on my own comfort. I'm really glad youtube recommend your video to me, maybe it's a sign from God ❤😊

The three of you are the absolute cutest!!!!! I must just say, you are sooooo winning to be so at peace with your own beauty at such a young age! And you are gorgeous; I particularly love your hair and eyebrows.

I've just come across to this channel after watching some Russian live cams just gotta say I really admire this young lady for what she is and says what an inspiration for women

The nail thing is so true! A lot of people think women who do not do their nails is due financial problems. For example, I used to do my nails ALL the time! I used to go get a Russian manicure which costs about $80 depending on who you go to. I stopped when I realized I was spending way too much money on my nails! So I learned to do them myself 😅 I love this channel, you got a supporter over here 🙋‍♀️

Hello Vika. I am so happy to find your video channel. My name is Michael and I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am 63 years old, retired and a pianist. I started watching your videos a couple of days ago and I have to say that you have a new loyal follower. What really touched my heart was your last video that I watched, '"7 Things I DON'T Do as a Female Minimalist". That showed me that you are a real woman, and not concerned with the opinion of society, and then one that I watched before, "Am I beautiful enough?". from what I have seen, you certainly understand what beauty is and you are truly beautiful. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have a passion for all things Russian. If I wasn't Catholic, I would believe that I was Russian in another life. I love Russia and anything to do with her. I spent a month in Saint Petersburg in 2012 and I have longed to go back again. You and your husband are living a dream. If you have a look at the photograph on the video. "A Day in The Life Of A Russian Family", what a perfect picture? It is so perfect in every way. You have found the answer to a perfect marriage and life as a human family. Nothing from this Earth can add to the love that God has given to a Husband and Wife in marriage, plus your beautiful little girl. Vika, you are so much more than beautiful enough. You, your life, and your marriage are perfect. I know a little about the beautiful Russian language. I would love so to speak it with someone. I hope to hear from you. Yours, Truly, Michael.

I completely agree with you! This video was so validating for me! Not only in secular society, but In my religion, there is a group of people who think that women need to do all of these things to be feminine, and it always made me feel so scrupulous like I was “bad” at being a woman or Christian, because I didn’t enjoy wasting the time, energy, or money on any of it! If God has made us the way we are, though nothing wrong with makeup or anything, but I’ve never understood why we feel we NEED to change anything to feel presentable. Thanks for such an amazing video!

I just found you and I’m loving your content. I’m currently binge watching all of your videos. Thank you for opening your world to us 😊

I love your sweet non judgmental way of approaching these things! It’s so important that we discover what works for us, and that we not judge each other.

Agree wholeheartedly. I am much older than you, but I am the same as you on every single point. I've done all that stuff in the past, but no longer do it, and haven't done all those things in several years. Good for you, figuring it all out at your young age!

I like that one of my daughters wears no makeup and the other sometimes wears makeup and she is happy both ways. I like makeup for me because it evens out my skin and defines my eyebrows and eyelashes.

Yes I saw cute little Agatha and her daddy at the end. Great video! I bet being a minimalist frees up so much time and lessens anxiety, too!

I just discovered your channel and it is so nice to see such a down to earth person on this platform. I am excited to see how your channel will grow in the future.

So refreshing to watch in comparison to a lot of other content on fb! Love this!

Wow! Thank you! I don’t do much with my hair because it suits me to keep it simple- but sometimes I am hard on myself about it...No more! You have INSPIRED me to EMBRACE how my beautiful hair looks just the way it is- the color, texture, everything. Thank you ♥️

Whew. I I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks like this or does/does not do these things. For what it is worth, I feel very reassured that my attitude toward “fashion,” and makeup, etc is not so unusual. I’m just across the Bering Sea from you in Alaska (👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻) thank you for taking the time to make your videos.

During the corona, I haven’t used any makeup. I also didn’t buy new clothes. Today, I think about my spending differently. Corona changed my mindset about what I really need and how I dress or beautify myself. I no longer feel the need to create an image of myself that is valid for others.

You have a very naturally pretty face and your hair looks so soft! Don’t change a thing!

This is how i understand the counsel : LOVE YOURSELF 💯 Thank you for showing me/us the right example of this love!

You are naturally beautiful. The only products I suggest for your face is a sunscreen and a moisturizer. Perhaps all in one product. Your skin will stay healthy and maintain its natural beauty.

Loved these! I'm the exact same. Glad to know I'm not the only one :) also, you're very pretty! You definitely don't need all the extra "beauty" routines. You're gorgeous just the way you are! Also your daughter is SO cute! 💕

I love this outlook, the best thing is to be comfortable in your own skin! It’s also a great influence for Agatha, true beauty comes from within and she will see that from her wonderful mother! :) keep being you

I personally do not spend money on nails, or someone making my brows or eyelashes and stuff. Nails go bad looking so quick and I am happy with the brows and I can easily shape them at home. I go to hairsalon to cut my hair and once went to beauty salon to get face treatment. Maybe in future I might go beauty treatment sometimes to treat myself, and hairsaloon twice a year, to keep my hair healthy. I have curly hair, so it can be harder to cut myself, and I love to just sit down and let someone else to take care of me.

I am in my sixties and had always done my nails myself having only gone to a nail salon maybe 4 times. I thought it needed to be done to look complete but actually it was only because others were doing it I do believe. Now I've not polished my finger or toe nails for the past couple of years! What a time and money saver for much more important things.

I like that you share your way of thinking with us but you make it clear that you accept other people's ideas. That is great and I think the way you look at things is inspiring.

I love how you embrace your natural beauty! I just discovered your channel and I’m loving the content.

My KZfaq algorithm brought me to your videos, I am watching these for a few days now and I am impressed! They are all so interesting and you and your family are so down to earth! This is very pleasant to watch in times like instagram and stuff......You can definitely be a role model! So, thank you for the inspiration and I wish you all a healthy and happy life!

I love the way you talk so calming and I love your approach accept yourself as you are and don't waste time, money and energy on things which really don't matter. Our goal should be to simplify our life and enjoy your doing that and that is the essence of joyful living. Thank you

I'm trying to become more of a minimalist over the last 4 months and beauty is one I've had the hardest time with as a 30 year old woman in America. I'm not big into makeup or clothes but skincare is my biggest problem I was using about 7 or 8 products a day including sunscreen spending probably $1,000 usd a year and my skin looked no different than my husband that only washes with warm water in shower in evening. So about 2 weeks ago I decided to only use face wash, sunscreen and a moisturizer and I'm so happy to have such a simple routine and to start saving money, time and space.

We are so the same :)) I also don't do or wear all what you said,no make up,no nails,no heels,no eyelashes,no jewelry or others :)) I never liked them and I thought I am the only one,because sometimes my sis or mom or grandma would say why I don't wear them and I said it's not my thing and I don't feel comfortable with them and I'm not a minimalist but they're just not my thing. You are great! ♥ :') Keep going!

You guys are such a cute family! I currently do my makeup almost every day and I go to the salon for my nails and hair. It is kind of expensive but I don't spend a lot of money on other things. In the last year I have gotten used to not buying things and I feel better about it. I also find the less expensive cosmetics that work as well as the expensive ones. I have had times in my life where I didn't do any of these things and maybe that will come again. It's important to me to feel my best when I am out in the world. I see lots of people and we are all different. If people are happy about themselves then they feel better in the world. You are beautiful and confident and those are the most important things!

You do ‘you’ a lot of people & women bow down to ‘peer pressure’ love your blogs/videos x

I love seeing women reject the beauty industry and live their best lives! I personally do a lot of beauty stuff but I don't go to salons or professionals...I'm more of a do it yourself girl lol On a side note: it just occurred to me that her house would be the worst house to rob 😂

Also, I love your very conversational, calm style. 🙌🏽

I think so many young ladies can learn so much from you. Good job.

Great share Vika!💖 Very inspiring vlog! Your daughter is so adorable!😍💖🌸 More blessings to you and your family🙏🏼💕

I just found your site today and I love it. Even made the breakfast you showed with cottage cheese, egg yolk and flour. I sautéed little spoon fulls and served like you do; sour cream and jam. So delicious!

Great video! Keep being awesome, the way you are. I think this could be an inspiration for a lot of women (and men) who believe in simple living like you but due to social pressure and stuff can't get away with it. Thanks for sharing!

I love how you don't care, in a positive way. Live your life girl 😘 More power to you! I'm 38, and never ever had my brows done by a professional. Or make up.. High five 😉

Hi girl, love your channel and your videos they are so relaxing and calming 💛🌻

I so agree with you ! !! Refreshing 💗 - Thank you !

I am a 21 year old female, struggling with things in my life and you have inspired me to just be happier with what I have!! God bless 🤍 I love your channel by the way!

It's so good to hear and see. I hope a lot of people see this and understand that you are beautiful just the way you are. You have such a healthy perspective. And I don't mean to judge either. But girls, and boys too actually who are insecure and feel the pressure to look a certain way or do certain stuff to fit in. And you really don't want to do this, but feel like you HAVE TO... I hope you people see this. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Be yourself. And if you feel pressured by friends and media.. don't listen to it. Your body or persona is yours. Don't listen to the media, and if you have friends you feel you have to do certain things for to fit in. Maybe choose different friends... or be strong and be yourself. You might even get surprised and get support because you show its ok . Really nice video. Healthy. I'm gonna share this for sure 😊

I have only recently discovered your channel, and I'm enjoying it very much. You're lovely.

omg I wish I had myself HALF as put together at your age! You are a star and your family is adorable. You are so far ahead in life already with this attitude. Best wishes from Canada.!💖

I love your channel and the morals that you live by. There should be more people like you in the world x

You don't need any of those products, you are a natural beauty 🌿💕 thank you for the good influence, as a woman with acne it took me many years to accept my skin but finally I'm there and I'm proud. God bless you and your family!

Apart from having bags I don’t do any of these things either! I love your videos so much 😍

I actually buy/use most of the things you just listed...but I really liked the video and your explanations why you don’t! You seem like such a sweet person 🥰

Highly relatable! I don't do most of that either, though I found some aspects. I don't wear any makeup daily either, but I do have a single concealer stick that I sometimes use when I happen to have a spot on my face while going to give an interview due to work or similar. I think it give me a peace of mind, because I do look a lot younger than I am anyway and having spots would not help that impression (but I need people to take me seriously). I also have used nail polish a few times a year, like sometimes on my toenails in the summer. It's usually too much trouble on the fingers, but I kinda like it on toes, feels somehow happy and shiny. I haven't bought any cosmetics for very many years though, just have these still around from whenever.

I really enjoyed your video! Found you today! Thanks for brightening up KZfaq with your normalness. Love it 😍 Sooo refreshing! I like to try to not wear makeup. By eyebrows are very light and I like them a little darker so I shade them slightly to frame my eyes somewhat. Other then that I like to use a nice moisturizer and cleanser for my face. Yes sometimes I also doll up more, but then I always come back to feeling good and yeah, better without the makeup 😎

Letting go of wearing a full face of make up feels sooo, so good! And it’s much better for your skin. Regarding your eyebrows, they’re amazing and the thickness and darkness is exactly what’s in fashion right now so you started doing it before it went mainstream 😊

Oh my gosh you have such a lovely family xxx Thank you for choosing to make a KZfaq 💛 you have very similar values to myself although I’m not as far in my minimal journey. I do enjoy going to the hair salon but up to two years ago this was very rare for me . I now have made it a 4 times a year retreat to relax and have time for myself. (last year due to pandemic I have only been twice) Irish hair salons cannot reopen until May 2021 so this year I may only go twice

I love this channel! What a sweet and lovely person you are 🌟

You don't need makeup,you are beautiful as you are .keep doing what you are doing,so refreshing.x

I am far from minimalist but I came across ur channel for some reason n I really like ur content. Good job!

You are absolutely beautiful just like God made you !!! I'm a 74 year old American great grandmother married to a Lithuanian for 54 years. It took me years to get to the place you are already. Wearing what YOU like instead of whats popular. Wearing simple hair style that doesn't require alot of fuss and trouble . Leaving makeup and nail polish behind because it DOES take alot of ttime and money. I wish I had figured it out when I was your age. My husband always liked the natural look. God bless you and your lovely family. I enjoy your videos so much. 😀

I feel like I used to do a lot of these things (or NOT do!) but have gotten a bit too into the routine of wearing a lot of makeup again. Thank you so much for this video. It’s really reminded me of what I find important and what I don’t find important. You have lovely clear skin and seem very kind. What products do you use on your hair? Thank you again for being very inspirational

You have the best eyebrows ! I regret plucking my eyebrows so much when younger

Love your style! You’re just beautiful. Completely agree with the part about makeup and beauty saloons.

I do at least half of the things you do and omg maybe I am on my way to minimalism 🤩😍 keep the videos going, you and your family are the cutest 👨‍👩‍👦

You go, girl

I really appreciate how you feel. I have too many insecurities to not wear makeup though. I don’t wear a lot of makeup but I guess enough to feel fresh!

Of course 💗 you are! And it shows, minimalist or not! You have a lovely family. Best wishes from Texas.

I'm similar to you! I don't do salon treatments, nail polish, hair styling and have the same type of bag as yours! I wear makeup 2 days per week, have one pair of heels that I only wear for special occasions, and the same earrings, ring and necklace that I wear all the time. Love your channel🥰

I like the girly things but I have no patience to get them done, to sit there for a long time or even to do them myself, therefore I became a minimalist too.

I've watched your videos since subscribing recently and I'm very impressed with how genuine you are. So it makes sense to me that you also prefer an, in my opinion, honest appearance. As you said too, I'm not judging but you've been gifted a natural beauty as I'm sure your husband would agree 🙂 so there's no need to put a different wrapping on. 😁. And I saw the cute family scene at the end. 🙂

I like your way of thinking, I too am a minimalist & it works for me

Great vid and very courageous of you to break the mold and stereotypes of your country (and more or less, the world). You're glowy and beautiful just as you are, so no need of anything else if it doesn't make you feel happy :)

You are a treasure! I am very much of the same mindset, keep it simple!

Thank you for this video! You inspired me to reflect about the industry of beauty 😊

Found your youtube channel now as I randomly browsing videos to watch. I am from the Philippines and I love your practical ideas on minimalism. God bless 💕

I love makeup and heels! I also appreciate minimalistic living! We all just have to be true to ourselves. Great channel

Like that you are so young and wise ! All also hate hairdressers, beauty saloons etc and always have. Used make up when I was a teenager, and put lipstick on when I started to work because everybody did and I felt it was sort of requested 😂
