Thinking about documenting a no buy challenge for this year. Let me know what you think :)

You are an amazing influencer. You influence people to buy less and be more mindful. Thank you for bringing in so much peace and calm 💓

I learned this same lesson as a child in foster care that moved from home to home frequently. It’s actually helped me to understand the higher value in relationships and rich experiences

We tend to buy things out of boredom, that momentary thrill but is a transient emotion. We tend to fill a void by buying things instead of truly asking ourselves what we want? What makes us happy? Do we accept ourselves? What are we trying to change or hide/suppress in our lives? I was born in a communist country in Eastern Europe. My family did not have much back then, and even when the country became a democratic regime our lives were not that much different. As a child I used to have a pair of snickers and wear them until they will be too worn out or I would outgrow them. When I came to USA about 15 years ago I was fascinated by shopping...especially clothes which I lacked as a child/teenager. Learning about the minimalist movement has helped me perform a long-overdue introspection. Now I focus on quality items, that support a cause or are ethically made vs. buying mindlessly like a zombie. I got rid of many bags of clothes and other items I have not used in years. It has been a cathartic process for myself. Sorry for the long comment. I appreciate your videos and thank you for sharing them with us!

Your voice is incredibly soothing 👌🏼

Every time i scroll through social media and see everyone buying stuff, i think about how glad i am to have stumbled upon your channel because you have helped me be able to resist impulse buying. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Would love to see your wardrobe and would also love for you to do a Q & A. 🌸💕

Good one, Sophie! I've put efforts into a minimalist lifestyle for a long time. It takes discipline, and yes, it is a mindset shift. Unfortunately, our (well at least my own) wants tend to resurface; so, remaining minimalist requires continual renewal of the commitment to keep things simple. Videos like yours inspire and refuel that commitment. Thank you! 🌷🌞

So interesting, everything you say is so true. The effect if material things fade, sometimes very quickly. But the memory of spending time with a loved one, at home or on a trip away, the effect of those things lasts a life time, stays with you, and can start a lovely conversation about your experiences.😊

You have become a huge influence in my life lately since I found your channel. Thank you and I will continue to support your channel. 💕

I had to remove social media especially iG from my life during my growth/spiritual journey. I don’t wanna attach myself to “things” anymore. I’m ready for a more simple lifestyle now. No more clutter. I admire you for living this way, and I feel like this is true happiness.

Thank you! You beautifully articulated what I have been struggling so hard to express over these past few months.

I have just found your channel yesterday...it seems I needed a calming side of our minimalistic lives...I've been there myself and it took a long time for me to leave the guilt behind on my past spending....LOVING YOUR CHANNEL, THANK YOU

Good message... Im heading toward the same path... Trying not to buy anything unless I "need" it.

I have just started watching your channel in the last month and I can't get enough! I'm always looking for video posts I haven't seen/heard yet. Your advice and your delivery are so spot on and calming. Thank you 💜

Hello, I'm enjoying your videos and channel. Your gentle kindness prevails throughout your presentations making your message and shared wisdom very inspiring & impactful. Thank you for sharing 🌻

I feel you! Been ultra conscious of buying last three to four years.. really helps you narrow down what matters

Gayle and I are finding this to be a struggle too. 1) We try to think twice about buying more things. Do we really need this? 2) Being home now, gives us a chance to go through what we have. 3) it feels good to find things we thought we lost, and organize it! 4) it feels good to find a home for the things we no longer need, (which fits well into the repurposing idea) Especially to someone who would really use it! Win-win.

This channel deserves to be recognized.

Hi, I just found your channel and I really like your videos. I am now binge watching lol. I love the relaxing music, your relaxing voice and your beautiful home. So soothing...it is like minimalism/meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️ Thanks...now on to watching more.

You are trully Divine! Love it! I feel I have been absorbing/catching this minimalism bug for the last 3 or more years in my own personal life - so I can relate to you.. and it's making me do things differently, than previously in my life... I really hope that this new trend - "of less" is a real huge thing right now! well :) it is for me anyway. Best wishes!

WoW, buying our value - so true Sophie!
