As a person with very sensitive hearing I always say that a decent pair of good quality headphones pay for themselves within a week because it gives me valuable personal physical and psychological comfort. Sometimes monetary value of a thing is off-putting at first but the value it adds to your life once you acquire the item is so much more than the money that was spent

Ana, you can knit or crochet covers for your old Sony headphone foam pieces. Then the broken surface won't pill on you. I did that with my son's headphones.

You are one of those persons! Thanks for another inspiring video 🥰

Спасибо за видео! Тоже заметила, что когда смотрю типичные минималистские каналы, как-то не прикладывается no buy к нашим эмиграционным реалиям, вот совсем. Стараюсь в последние месяцы наоборот покупать вещи, которые могут сделать жизнь проще, и которые я склонна надолго откладывать (что не приводит к экономии, так как деньги все равно в итоге утекают). На прошлой неделе доехала до Декатлона в Белграде (а Черногории его нет) и наконец купила мягкой уютной и удобной одежды для дома. После полутора лет в том, что под руку подвернулось)) кажется, что важно, если работаешь из дома, специально уходить от майндсета "дырявое и с пятном? Для дома сойдёт", потому что тогда в дырявом и пятнистом проводишь 90% своего времени.

They're called lazy readers, but instead of wearing them to read or watch TV in bed as the designers intended, I wear them sitting up when I knit or crochet. No more rounded shoulders or neck misalignment from looking down. Crafting is now actively and easily improving my posture!

I am on a no buy this year for any makeup items and a low buy for any clothing items. So far I haven’t been tempted at all to buy makeup!! I’m so happy and motivated by that. For clothing, I’m committed to focusing on high quality, and taking my time. Often, when I feel the urge to shop I notice I’m unsettled or anxious and need something to soothe my mind. I’ve been trying to do other things like take a little walk or listen to a podcast. And this has helped so much and usually makes me forget about shopping. I also love to knit and crochet, and want to get better at it. This activity truly kills the shopping habit. I love your videos and your personal style. 😊

There is something about the texture of corduroy that is very appealing, I love the colour you chose. I made one spur of the moment purchase but it was a practical one. I ordered an oversized, graphic tee made of thick cotton. It is the type of tshirt I wear often around the house when I clean and garden, the oversized fit makes it suitable as a nightshirt as well. The two I have already are starting to develop small holes from wear and tear.

I just want to say congratulation on all your purchases. It is also inspiring to see you making wardrobe items that you find comfortable, and which fit your lifestyle. Your child's blanket seems like a good addition to your household and I am glad to see it is working for you. Minimalism, in my opinion, doesn't mean deprivation. I recently found a minimalist who touches on many subjects, including de-cluttering; Robert L. Banks. This morning I saw an 11-month old video regarding 2 questions to ask ourselves as we de-clutter. At this point in time, I am not a strict minimalist nor have I been serious about de-cluttering - the attitude and thoughts that Banks expresses are encouraging me to get started on the de-cluttering I have been procrastinating about. Your video about clothing reminded me of another video I saw today. Joe Dispenza was talking about being sure the close we wear match the energy we are working on creating. Do I think it was a coincidence that I saw these two videos back to back? No, I call it synchronicity, and I look on it as the Universe giving me suggestions that can assist me in making the changes I desire, IF I am willing to allow myself to move beyond my current state of stuckness. Those things you recently purchased, are important to you for you health, safety, comfort, and because they assist you in feeling better about yourself, which helps you move through life more easily. I could go on, but I will stop for now. Peace & Blessings to you and Brian. 🙂✌👍🙏
