I want to buy a house in london any suggestions

I assume that you don’t pay rent

Glad to see you!

You look cute!

Looks like a good time.

Wow, lovely food, great to see you back and happy birthday 🎉

Hey, good to see you again! I hope you're doing well these days. That food looks amazing.

Surf and turf. The presentation is beautiful.

Your channel is heaven. ❤

I own 270 things 😊 Love the video ❤

I know this is an "old" video, but i'm here, getting inspired to go to my no buy year (2023)!! I already dont buy lots of things you've mentioned: dental floss, mouth wash ahah, coffee, perfume (same reason, i forget to wear it!), high heels (they're like torturing devices, arent they?), etc. My problem is with clothes, bags and books, i adore to read, but i dont have the space to store them right now. I really like those items... So i'm trying to get my inspiration going and try to (commit to) a no buy year (specially on the clothes department). Your chanel is awesome and i'll be visiting often to gather some strenght to not buy into consumerism this new year ;) Thank you <3

I’ve been using Glysomed hand cream lately, it’s great and not greasy.

Living with your parents is a big money saver.

does the macbook pro 16 inch fit into the bag?

I really like your channel. It’s very inspirational.

Hi. I really love your videos and can't wait to see your next one. 😊

It is useful advice for beginner minimalist! Thank you! 😊

Finally a capsule wardrobe or minimalist style without neutral, pastel colors. I was fed up with all these same looking wardrobes.

omg! i HAVE 15 FACE SKIN PRODUCST!! KKKKKKK🤣

I have learnt over many years that simple living is the best way forward for me, less is more. i no longer buy things like shampoo/conditioners/toothpaste/deodourants etc in bulk those kind of items to say 50p, i am not a shop and once i get low i re buy, i was storing multiples for nearly a year, same with food and then it goes off, or worse how many preservatives are in those things to cover long shelf life very scary. , its ridiculous, and we kid ourselves its to save money but actually i was buying more and storing it away, i am not squirrel thank you for your common sense approach and hope all goes well with your motherhood. i read an article from cate flanders on storing things and how long a tube of toothpaste/shampoo all of the above lasts etc before needing to buy another that was a hugs game changer for me, and i think if you wait for something if it starts to bother your skin etc then you havnt bought 3 bottles to waste, and i also learnt it makes you more frugal. Gosh thats a lot to take in hope its all helpful. xxxx

Love this video! I want to free up my time from the seemingly endless decluttering, donating, washing, sorting, and containing of my items. I’m now consistently investing my time into people and activities that I care about. Videos like this keep me inspired. Bravo for your journey! 🙌🏼🙏🏼🥂💝

Sound advice. Thank you.😊 (my minimalist reply!)

How is the quality of the Knomo bag, still thinking if I get this or the Pacsafe 😊

You're beautiful. Love the simplicity.

Hello excuse me,,, nice to meet you and I am rifai al in Indonesia, I really like the content and I immediately click the subscribe button and I will continue to support your channel, and I will help share your content in my community, the Indonesia TH-camr community, good luck always and God bless amen.

Thank you!

how can you have just one pair of trainers and wearing them all the time not destroying them? I have to buy 2 or 3 pairs every two years, they break down even though they are not the cheapest, nike, puma etc...

Interesting Simantha, thank you. Reading the comments, we all have a different idea of what “essential” is. The concept is great, we don’t need stuff that is not essential to us….

I always enjoy this topic, and I thought this was a very fun video. It's so interesting to see how and why people choose to live without common items and to consider whether I might not need something on the list. What really made me laugh, though, was when you mentioned your "weird" habit of warming up your water. I do the same thing because I hate cold water. You definitely won't find any ice cubes in my home!

Some of these ideas are great, calendars, watches - definitely surplus. But keeping your cards with your phone spells disaster (or at least major inconvenience) if you lose that entire unit. Especially if you don't then have cash... And you wouldn't even be able to call & cancel the cards! And I didn't understand not having real plants which assist with air cleaning etc - if you're then going to have artificial ones which take up the same space - & even need dusting so also require maintenance without any return?! Thanks for sharing, am on a minimalist video binge! 😄

I don't know, belts and calendars are pretty essential items, at least for me. Also, I think it's good to have a landline as a backup in case you misplace your cell phone or some other issue arises where you can't use it. You never know.

I looooooved this! I'm sure it's quite time consuming to film and edit a vlog so I understand it would be challenging to do these often, but I love this style of video. I also find it reassuring that even a minimal household deals with messes and clean up! I get overwhelmed and stressed when things are in disarray, too. Today's mantra: Okay, Self, take a breath and just straighten up.

Oh no, two weeks to wait for a video! Also disappointed, also understand how busy you are and will still look forward to hearing from you 💫🌟

"All of her socializing…Party animal 😆"

I'm disappointed, of course, that you're cutting back to twice a month, but I'm not surprised. You have so much going on in this period of your life that I understand that you can't justify spending a lot of time on this channel. I will continue to look forward to your videos, and I wish you great success in getting to a place where you feel more financially secure. Much love from the US!

Thanks, Simantha! This video gave me some things to think about. I've been using the reward card tip for years - I put absolutely everything on my credit card, immediately pay it off, and then get "free money" back each month (which I promptly spend on something I probably don't need...hmmm...should work on that).

> live with parents whomp whomp whomp

Very inspirational, thanks Simantha. Reminded me to get going on eBay again, I’ve made well over £2k selling items on there 💫

I'll add writing a book of some kind to this list. That's what I'd like to do, but I'm having trouble with getting motivated.

I really liked this style video, I enjoy seeing a glimpse into real lives, especially when they are realistic

I really enjoyed the vlog-style video for this topic. It was so much more interesting than just hearing about how the money was spent. Love all your videos, Simantha!

Loved your video. Question-you didn’t mention a wallet, do you carry one?

It's nice to see a vlog video from you again. Feels like old times with the food shots and everything lol.

Shame about those leggings, they looked so nice on the hanger! Whilst spending is massively increasing whether we like it or not, salaries have been more or less at a standstill for years. A friend pointed out that 20 years ago she was an account manager earning £25k. And when she looks at those jobs now, they are still around the £25k mark.

1) Consistency: Not important at all! 2) Content: Anything you feel like talking about! I really enjoy how honest and open you are, so vlogs and resets and productivity content all sound wonderful *especially* if they aren't polished. 3) Congratulations on making such great progress on your goals! These are things you accomplished on top of taking care of your daughter and job and all your family/household responsibilities and anything else you do! Really inspiring! ❤

Love your bag! I carry almost nothing around with me, but I do have a car bag that contains a lot of the "potential necessities" like tissues, paper and pens (<-plural! lol), snacks, etc. I'm just catching up on your videos. Off to watch your goals update!

Very organised Simantha! You inspired me ages ago to declutter and I did my bag then. I now do it once a month to keep it tidy 💫
