Very helpful as I’m an impulse buyer!

I can totally relate with “getting bored with everything” and I think that has a lot to do with why my house is a cluttered disaster, as well as shopping for retail therapy, shopping for boredom and not being able to resist a “bargain”. I’m a typical Gemini and get bored so easily and need variety and “excitement” in my life. But as I’m a single mum, with two teenagers and a 5 year old and no social life, no relationship and haven’t travelled overseas for years (which used to be my passion) I guess buying new things is the way I do it! I mostly buy things to try and improve my life, make it easier or more organised. But it’s just cluttering the house up more and making life worse and then because I get bored I buy a new version of something I already have and get rid of the old. It’s a vicious cycle. I would assume you are someone who doesn’t need variety or crave newness, being that your house is so minimal and cupboards so bare of food and you mentioned eating the same thing over and over! Food is another thing I have an abundance of because I never know what I will be in the mood to eat or want the kids whinging there’s nothing to eat so we have a lot of food waste and things open and not finished before they go stale or off! Clearly I need therapy for more than one reason! 😂 As I mentioned in another comment I’ve been decluttering on and off for many years but you’ve inspired me to really make it happen this time and I want to do it to an extreme level as I’m an all or nothing person, moderation doesn’t work for me! 😅 Thanks so much for creating your channel! Looking forward to learning more about you and what your life was like before you went extreme minimalist!

Hello 👋 from the WestCoast of Canada. Just recently found your channel and I absolutely adore your content. I am a solo parent with one child as well and learning more about minimalism. Thank you for being you. Have a wonderful day. 🙂

For the first one, the 'treat shops like an art gallery' helps me most. Though I probably look werid going into TKMAXX and smelling all the DWHome Candles haha. ❤️

Hi and hugs from New Zealand. Good to see you again. Enjoy your content. ❤

The most helpful one for me is “where will it go” do I prefer that space to be empty? Usually the answer is yes ❤

This video was great!! You brought up so many topics that we all face-the annoying chargers, buying an item just because it is on sale or may look good in a space you currently have (but may not have forever). I really like how you organized your questions, and really needed this just when we are all soon to be bombarded with 4th of July or “end of summer” sales here in the US. Thanks again and I am looking forward to you next video❤

A very interesting and informative video, many thanks 😊

Thanks for this video! I adore your simplicity and clarity!

Totally resonated with what you said. Unfortunately I am a minimalist with a shopping addiction, and a lot of it does end up in a charity shop 😔

Proud of you ❤

Always love your content! Inspiring to me to only get what I need thank you 😊 ❤❤

Great tips x

This was really thorough and great advice. Adding to saved videos so I can rewatch it when I need it! LOL I just decluttered 5 times out of my Amazon shopping basket while you were talking about fantasy selves. They were all for my fantasy self. 😂

Yay new video, missed you❤

Great video and tips! I use alot of them as well.

Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I find them very helpful and inspiring. You keep me focused on the benefits of a minimal life. I hope you find the time to share even more of your thoughts and ideas :-)

I am very happy to see you back with a new video 🥰 thank you for sharing this, even though I live pretty minimally I have to admit that many times I still impulse shop. These questions that you shared definitely will help me to be more intentional with what I bring in my life 🥰

I like to ask myself if I want to have to clean, dust, or take care of this item?
