My slow life vlog journey with a hint of minimalism, capsule wardrobe and sustainable fashion.
Organize My Minimalist Living Room with Me - Decluttering When You're Procrastinating & Overwhelmed
I was procrastinating…
When I started my TH-cam journey at the beginning of June, this year, I said I would be decluttering my life and bring you along with me.
And I did start... But I very much was procrastinating on the decluttering videos.
Here's what I did to stop procrastinating and start decluttering.

What simple living means and how it changed my life for the better
มุมมอง 807หลายเดือนก่อน
Living a simple life is not automatically easy... It may not be easy at all, to be honest. In this day and age, it is an idea that goes against the very nature of the economic system we built for ourselves. But it is possible to break the cycle, slow down, and start to make our choices more intentionally than big corporations and marketing agencies would ever like us to do. A simple life can me...

How decluttering helps me in moving on with my failed slow fashion business
มุมมอง 1.8K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
You can declutter your life in many different ways in many different areas. It is not only the phisical belongings in your home that need a good sorting through every now and then. There's a lot more to an intentional life than that. This summer I'm slowly looking at my things that surrond me at home, but also I'm thinking a lot about my work life, which is my little business, my relationship w...
Organize and declutter my minimalist bedroom with me - how to start decluttering
มุมมอง 7K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm going to declutter my home this summer. I don't have a plan. I'm just going with it this time. I've been doing this more or less for 8 years. So I feel it will work out just fine. But if you are doing your first big decluttering, it is a good idea to have some sort of a plan or structure that you'd like to follow. This process can be very overwhelming at first. And a plan can help you get t...

When you're feeling lost and tired... Start to declutter your life! And this is exactly what I'm going to do now. :) To be able to lead a slower life, my first step was to declutter my home. My initial big minimising was about 8 years ago. I've done a lot, I've learned a lot during that time. First and foremost I know now, that decluttering is not a one time thing, it is a lifestyle. Let me kno...

@@gailfirenze4760 I’m so happy you are here!
I have a big bedroom with a single bed, desk, a nightstand, a bookcase with 2 shelves. My own bathroom with a shower and a laptop and a ps4 and Nintendo ds
Your kitty is so sweet! And your living room looks lovely and peaceful. I don't like having to declutter all the paper that comes into my house, either, but it's so great when it's done! Keep going!
@@saandersons Thank you! ❤️ How did the minimalism challenge go for you and your sister last month?
@@KelemenNora Well, sadly, my sister quit after the first couple of days. But I made it to the end, and it was great! Now I am going to declutter one item per day during September. Our home is becoming more and more peaceful -- like yours!
@@saandersons Sorry to hear that you sister did not make it through the month! But you are awesome! I’m so happy to hear that you even go further this month in a slow and mindful pace! Sounds great!
You have a lovely home. It looks so calm and neat. Greetings from Canada.
Oh, thank you so much for watching from far far away! I would love to visit Canada one day!
Love this! 😊
I'm so glad you liked the video! Thank you so much for watching! :)
It’s a great point about decluttering activities too… I have had the same issue with books where I bring home too many from the library which I can’t finish, and I already have books… it becomes too much to finish and I feel guilty. So I will avoid the library at this time too. Thank you for your insights Nora
This sounds great! I planned this for the summer, but to be honest, summer is almost over and I still have many books to read at home! But I'm planning to get 1 and only 1 at a time fall-themed book from the library soon because I'm really much looking forward to autumn!! :)
What a well said message! It really resonated with me, and I will share your video with my family and friends. Thank you!
I'm so happy that you feel this way! Thank you for sharing! It means a lot to me! ❤
i am so glad I found your channel , and appreciate your wardrobe ideas and also your messages about how one can source fashion sustainably
Thank you so much for being here, Shannon!
You have the brightness of bright spring! especially at 4:13 you look very bright and light! Deep autumns/winters are usually not this light. Interestingly, one thing I can point out that regardless of your age your features maintain a level of brightness and lightness that is really uncommon within deep autumns. I would even put you in warm autumn before deep! regardless, if you find that the deep autumn colour palette makes you happy, then that is the only thing that matters. The reason I say this, is because seasonal color analysis is my special interest and I get so passionate about it. Thank you for this video and your hard work!
Thank you, Lia! You see when I wear bright spring colors, I just feel like they are way too much on me. They tend to jump out and put my face behind, just like with bright winter colors. I'm not sure this makes sense, but this is how I kind of feel about them. And also I feel that too bright colors don't really match my personality, which absolutely doesn't have to do anything with skin tone... it is just my observation. :) To be honest, I still have a feeling that I must be a tricky color type because autumn, winter, and spring can have a good argument in my case but just from a different point of view. But one thing I'm sure about: autumn is the one that looks the most natural on me. Only summer colors are an absolute definite no in my opinion, as they look mostly very strange on me.
@@KelemenNora Thank you for your pleasant answer! If you feel confidence in autumn, then there must be a reason. One way verify if someone's season matches them, is to see if their sister seasons do. If you find that deep winter colours suit you but deep autumn is more natural, then you're definitely a deep autumn. I can see why you feel as if summer colours don't match you - their too cool and soft for your brightness and warmth. Do you feel like you are in harmony with the level of darkness, depth or the slight warmth? Out of all of the sub-seasons which season(s) do you feel it's the easiest to "borrow" colors from? I believe you can pull of tomato red, turquoise and teal from bright spring. As you can see I am very passionate about this, and while that's great I come off as invalidating, or discrediting. I hope that my comments don't make you feel like you that way:( I almost never comment but look what your special interest can make you do hahahaha 😆
@@liyasmoon Haha. No problem at all! I totally get it! ;) I'm not sure about the dark winter colors in general, as I don't have many things to test on at home... But I will look out for those colors to try out! I really like them!
@@liyasmoon Sorry, I accidentally sent my answer. I wasn't finished yet. So from the dark autumn season, I feel like the most important to me is the depth of the color. I feel if it is deep enough, or dark enough, then I can't really go wrong with it. :) With warm colors in general I experience that they make my face softer and younger. Cooler colors bring out my lines and black circles much more than warm ones. :)
@@KelemenNora Thank you again! An interesting thing that happens to a lot of people is that sometimes, your personal sub-season or season in general will 'conflict' with your kibbe body type. The kibbe system was developed by David Kibbie around the 80's, and introduced in his book 'Metamorphosis'. I don't want to bore you with the details, so I'll just get to the point. If someone who is a romantic (like Marilyn Monroe) and say her season was bright winter. She may struggle with wearing her colors, as romantics tend to look best with sofer colours, as well as it's kind of hard to find draped and soft fabrics for romantics in bold and bright colors. The point is, like you mentioned, say your color season was warm autumn instead, but you felt like, through your body type, you loved the darker, sharper, colours of deep autumn, as they enhance your lines better. An even better example, imagine your features were very sharp and elongated but your season was soft summer. What I am trying to say, finding the balance between honoring your lines and your colors is really important. Some people may type themselves incorrectly because their features are too soft or sharp for a season and they like how another one makes their features look, but in reality it's too dark, light, soft or bright for them. Hahaha that is my possible explanation for why you might gravitate towards a certain season. It's really fun talking to you as it feels like we are both passionate about the same thing! Regardless, if I at any point make you feel invalidated or if I sound condescending please let me know, It is absolutely not my intention and I am sorry I make you feel that way:( In the end of the day the colors that make you feel the best are the colors you should wear! That is the thing that matters the most.

At 1:24...what is the brand of the red blouse tied at elbow? Thank you!
@@que2h.690 That is a 2nd hand dress I found on Vinted. ☺️
Please do a video highlighting the brands you purchase from.
That's a great idea, thank you, Sarah!
❤great video! i find it really hard to find brands that are truly sustainable and affordable at the same time.
Thank you, Anne! Slow fashion can definitely have a higher price point. But also the unrealistically low prices of fast fashion have a big role in this, and make us expect too low prices sometimes. However, lately, I found that on Vinted I can find sustainable brands 2nd hand at a really good price. Maybe that is something worth looking into for you too. Hope this helps!
Love your style ❤😊 What is your favorite sustainable brands, Nóra?
Thank you! 🥰 Oh, I have many... Someone suggested to me in the comments to make a video about the topic. I think that is what I should do! Stay tuned! :)
Our bedroom is a mess and needs a thorough de clutter before we can renovate the room. We are slowly doing up our home and only have three rooms to finish off but lots of de cluttering xx
Oh, renovations take so much time and effort! It is a big thing one can do for oneself in my opinion. Dreaming and making the home that we love is so worth it! It gives back so much to us! I hope you will be able to declutter and get to your renovations soon!
@@KelemenNora yes we are mortgage free so invested inheritance into the house. Done the garden and downstairs plus bathroom, nearly finished guest bedroom just two bedrooms and entryway to complete and decluttering as we go along xx coz it was the family home there was and still is so much stuff that belonged to husbands parents, uncle, hubby’s old flat from his first marriage and his brother and ex sister in law had lived at the house too so there’s stuff in the loft that doesn’t belong to us at all xx
@@angelakneller2880 Wow, then you really have a big project on your hands! I hope you get over the declutter process quickly and painlessly!! :))
@@KelemenNora it will be painlessly for me but not so much for my hubby but the loft won’t get done any time soon. Got what was my hubby’s dads room to declutter first so that it can become a spare room and hubby’s man cave do I can get him out of the guest bedroom xx
Hello Nora from the uk. I’m in process of de cluttering but I’m not a minimalist at all. But I do want the things I keep to have meaning and purpose and have a home xx enjoying your videos so far xx
Hey Angela, Thank you so much for being here!! What you described 'things have meaning, purpose and a home' is all I want as well for myself! Great to see we walk the road together! :)
The baby blanket you could frame or turn into a cushion that you would use or a soft knitted toy maybe x that way you have found another use for the blanket and can justify keeping it not just as a keepsake x
I love the idea of finding a purpose of things that we don't use anymore but want to hold on to. Thank you for the great idea! I'm sure the right idea will come to my mind once it is time! :)
Your English is wonderful. Question for you..Does your partner have his passion/dream occupation for his work? Or does he simply just work because he has to? It’s an interesting topic with men and women differences. My husband knew his interests and passions early in life and I assisted in him reaching goals. One important thing I needed to declutter is the idea that all of us have these wild dreams to reach. I adore the simplicity of life and helping my family shine and am honestly good at it. I never knew why I didn’t dream big enough to other people’s ideas but had typical jobs over the years.🇨🇦
@@Amanda-yd2ey Thank you so much Amanda! I’m so so so happy to hear this! ❤️❤️❤️ My partner is an electrical software engineer, and weirdly (for me 😅) this is what he always wanted to do for work. So I guess that is his dream job… or at least it is pretty close. I don’t think that everyone needs to put so much emphasis on work, like I do these days. So many people is happy with a job that they like and can totally not care about it once they get home. Which is really nice in a way for me, as I’m kind of always thinking about it. Or if now always, at least a lot. Because it is more like a passion to me. I kind of always wanted to change the world with my work I think, just a little bit… Those who are wonderful homemakers are, in my opinion, changing the world for the better for sure. I am tring to be decent of that as well, but to be honest, it doesn’t come as naturally to me, as my “business” side.
Szia Nóra, I enjoyed this video very much!! So nice to see a fellow Hunagrian slow life advocate here on TH-cam ☺️🌸🍇🩷
Hi Evelin! :) Thank you so much! So happy you've found me! :))
Your kitchen looks so cozy and small😍 most kitchens I see on TH-cam are so large and have too many cabinets
@@julieknull2241 Thank you Julie! 🥰 I really like it! But to be honest, when the 2 of us cook here at the same time, it can be chalenging! But we can absolutely make it work. ☺️
I have had a failed online business as well, and then finally decluttered the things / websites that went with it. I think a lot of women have gone through this. Don't give up! The right thing will come for you. I have a digital piano, too! And, your English is excellent!
@@saandersons Did you find your right thing? About my English, thank you so much this means a lot!!! ❤️ And how is the decluttering challenge going?
@@KelemenNora The challenge is going great -- I'm winning! My right thing -- still looking, but no longer worrying about it. Trust the timing.
@@saandersons Both sounds great! ☺️☺️☺️
love your place and your work area! its good to reset someitmes and i believe in you and your great business
Thank you so much! They say we need a big reset at least in every 7 years. So I guess, that is natural, but doesn't make it easier... 🙂
I am very much a like-minded person with strong interests in fashion design that is sustainable, small, slow fashion entrepreneurship, and the practice of minimalism! Will be watching your channel with great interest, so glad you are posting in English!
I'm so happy that you are here!!! We really do care about a lot of the same things!!

good cleaning, I loved your video I hope you upload more about cleaning, it's motivating, new subscriber
Welcome to the channel!! 😊 Thank you! Well, there are plenty of cleaning to do around here, so this is definitely not the last one 😉
I agree that the bedroom needs to be a calm place -- especially for people who are very sensitive to light / sound, etc. (like me). I am impressed with the calm, the beauty, and the minimal, light feel to your home. Lovely! I am still working on mine. Fortunately, my husband is totally on board with decluttering now -- finally! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️ I’m a senditive person as well, so I totally feel you… Kudos to you husband!! It is not always easy to get family on board with simplifying. 🙈
Decluttering is so difficult 😣! I’m always so attached emotionally to my belongings so I don’t really throw anything away completely, we just take them in boxes to our rented storage space😅. It’s a hassle but we have space at home this way and I don’t have to get rid of precious items that don’t really fit in our apartments. Such a wonderful video though, I love the way you set the bed as well! Like in magazines ❤❤❤
Thanks! ❤️ Maybe decluttering is difficult only, when we never practice it. What do you think? ☺️ I feel it is something that can be learned. But I know we all are different… How often do you take back things from the storage to your home though?
Good job working on getting rid of suff. I'm actually using a journal called Throw It Away by Guru Notebooks. I get too attached to stuff emotionally I guess.
What a great idea this journal is! I haven’t heard about it before, but now I looked into it and sounds really good! Why do you think you are more attached to your belongings, than you’d like to? Maybe it would be interesting for you to look into it.
Such a lovely home. Happy I found your channel!
Thank you so much Kathryn! ❤️❤️❤️ Happy that you are here!
hope you have fun on your journey :) I declutter every so often. Mostly books that I don't want to read again or some clothes, that I havent worn in a year or so.
Thank you Lea! ☺️ These are good rules you have in place! Do you have any other decluttering rules in your life?
I am happy I found your channel. I like listening to your views on life. I am on my own minimalism journey.

szia Nóra! legközelebbi videókhoz javaslom, hogy ne "hátfényben" vedd fel, mert így nagyon rosszak a fényviszonyok a videón, hanem az ablaknak háttal a kamera, te pedig az ablak/fény felé fordulva, úgy sokkal láthatóbbak lesznek a dolgok (főleg egy ilyen színekkel foglalkozó videónál különösen fontos szempont ez szerintem). esetleg a pakolós részek alá (mikor nincs narrálás vagy beszéd) mehetne egy kis nem jogdíjas zene, hangulatnak:) nem rosszból írom ezeket, csak elég sok videót nézek, és ezek így egyből szembetűnők voltak nekem. amúgy nagyon király lett a videó, hajrá a továbbiakhoz is! :)
Köszi Lilla! Igyekszem tanulni a hibáimból folyamatosan. Meglátjuk meddig jutok velük 😊

I think dark gray looks good on autumn
I just saw a picture today on Pinterest with 2 dark gray colour recommendations for autums. I gess it is always up to someones own preference, which colours they accept for each season… Anyway, I love my dark grays, so they are definitely keepers in my wardrobe! ☺️
🤍🤍🤍
❤️ Annyira köszi, hogy még így is belenéztél, hogy angolul van!
Wear warm colors up near your face. The bottoms dont matter
I really like my light blue bottoms, I’m keeping them for sure and will experiment with darker, warmer colours on the top ☺️ I also think it will look quite nice. 😍
Also, your muted stack was mostly of the summer season. Summers do very well with most shades of denim. Summers are soft, blue, smoky, and rose which matches that aspect of most denim.
Now that you say… Yes! They were mostly summers. ☺️
❤ loved that content (as you speak though and think)my fellow Hungarian- only thing I would keep and wear those colors on my bottom half which are not in my color palette- like the light blue jeans.
I’m definitely keeping those! And also many other things as well… 🙈☺️ I find that makeup is a good way to level up colors that are nor the best. But we shall see how I feel about those when I actually wear them. ☺️ I’m glad you liked the video!! Thank you so much for being here! 🥰
I'm going through a big cycle of de-cluttering to shift energy as our household enters a new chapter of life. I am not a minimalist (I have FAR too many clothes-very many hundreds or more??), but I practice the art of minimalism to better my life. I find decluttering super helpful to shift energy, gain clarity, boost creativity & beautify the spaces.
I very much agree! Getting rid of access is a great tool for all of those for me as well! And I believe, when we really put in the effort and attention, we feel what is the amount of things we are happy to keep. It doesn't have to be too little. Too little is not enough. I feel if we strive for enough for our own life and standards, that is good enough! :) I'm happy we're kind of doing our decluttering together... :))))
I wouldn't count black as an autumn but rather winter colour so that might change the result a bit. I'd say the autumn equivalent of black is a chocolate brown. Nice concept of a video and really interesting to see that you went with your gut and against your false colour analysis result. I'm a (self diagnosed) autumn, I think warm but also a little soft. I read somewhere that gray is the worst color for an autumn so I tend to stay away from that.
I loved light gray for a long long time, but in the last 1-2 years it became obvious that it is not really my colour… I think this comes out with aging even more… So I definitely will look into warm rich browns, as there will probably be a piont when black will not suit me as well as it does now… 🙈☺️ In my understanding dark autum is warm, muted (but not so muted) and dark. And from the 3 thing for me the darkness/deepness of the color is probably the most imprtant. I think this is why black is good for now. ☺️ Thank you so much for watching the video! ❤️
