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.
Ana, you have such great style and I wish you could be my fashion consultant 😉 I’m 68 and comfort is a priority for me also when buying a new clothing item. I want to chose something stylish and different, like your corduroy pants. They are so cool. Some people just have a knack for putting clothing items together and looking funky and unique. You are one of those persons! Thanks for another inspiring video 🥰
It is great joy to listen to you discuss new wearing apparel and home purchases rather than subject matter that has to do with terror, running for your life, and not know where you are going to be next week, next month, next year! I rejoice with your peace and stability. That frees up HUGE amount of creative energy. I look forward to future videos of experimentation, discovery, and change that give us both surprise and pleasure.
Those corduroy pants look like they were made for you! And the handmade tops are gorgeous! It sounds like maybe you are in a more bustling area now in Georgia? Funny how some people absolutely thrive on the energy of being in a crowd, and some of us can feel so claustrophobic. The headphones were a great purchase!
Hi, Ana. That purple sweater you made is **beautiful!** It looks so ethereal. And I imagine it is fun to wear as it will look different depending on the color of the shirt beneath it. So pretty.
I really enjoyed this and am amazed at your thoughtful intentions. You are a very talented knitter. I wish I could knit! Your sweaters are very beautiful.
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.
Hi Ana, thank you for sharing this video. The pants, top and high tops are fab,and look perfect on you. Your two handmade pieces are beautiful, I enjoy a similar style.. Aaaawh and your comfort blanket is really cute. I am so happy to see you feeling positive and happy. Sending love and light and regards to Bryan. Gale x
I recently bought some large throw pillows for our sofa and have really been enjoying "cocooning" myself in with them and a couple of knitted or crocheted blankets I've made. After reading in the evenings, I almost hate to get out of my little nest to go to bed! And I love all your new purchases, especially your handmade ones. ❤
@@anagoldberg my pleasure, Ana. Thank you for your videos. I follow you since you lived in Russia. Your videos are a realm of peace and beauty in middle of so much nonsense and ugliness. I am from Spain (northwest, Galicia), and my husband is from Iceland, a real viking! 😅We work for the University of Liverpool, and our area of studies are Latin American Literature. I wish you and your husband the best for your future. I will continue waiting and enjoying your videos. If you visit England, you have your house in Liverpool. 🥰
@@angelaromeroastvaldsson2567 I'm so glad to meet you here, Angela! Thank you for telling me more about yourself, I love learning about people who are here in our shared community. Sending love to Liverpool ❤
hi Ana, you know, I have a baby blanket too! It's very plush and soft, and I use it at night to help keep my legs warm when I watch TV. I also have a small stuffed bear (named Riley, not Teddy) who sits next right next to me to watch TV too. These items bring me some comfort and keep me company. I was so happy to see that you also appreciate how helpful these items can be. Also, loved seeing your new purchases. They are beautiful!
Love your presentation. I is very gratifying to buy things that made our daily life more enjoyable and fun. I am learning to buys more conscientiously and not as an act of impulse. Love all your clothes specially your purple sweater . I learn a lot form your videos. Thank you for sharing
Oh those red pants look so good on you 😊 I love cudory pants too and they suit you well. And you really have a talent for knitting 😍 that thin purple knit sweater and that top look so good 😍😍😍😍 even if you have a minimalist wardrobe (I have way more but also lots of second hand stuff) I totally love your amazing style and how you make so much from so little 😊 you are one of a kind and your style is just perfect 🥰🙂😀
Purple sweater is so beautiful. I have a no buy year but I allowed myself to get a used sewing machine so I can learn a skill. I am going to take a class. ❤
I love your beautiful handmade sweater and vest. I am knitting my very first sweater and it feels so good to be making something with my own hands. I love your videos. This was a fun one. 🥰
I smiled when you mentioned your blanket. I always like to have a blanket for comfort. My cat (Jet) unfortunately also loves it and sleeps on it whenever she can. It"s funny competing with a cat for the comfort of a blanket
Hi Ana, All of your items work very well together. I needed to buy shoes as well. I have one recommendation for you. Get a can of waterproofing spray for your shoes. I do 3 layers, letting each layer dry, paying attention to where the sole and upper connect. No more wet feet when it rains or snows.
I just followed you, I like the content. I love the purple sweater! I maybe would like to knit after my studies. I just bought a refurbished iPad, an Apple Pencil, and the cheapest cover. I felt so bad at the beginning but now after 3 days is being the best purchase I’ve done. It works for my career and saves me time, it also helps to have a better work flow, but instill thing its so expensive and that university should support students with a technology fund. Now i done have any money but my priority its university and be a better Landscape Architecture student at the moment
Hi Ana I loved your purchases & handmade items alongside the explanations of your intentions ❤ you are so talented which is a blessing! Hope you are settling in well 🙏 love from Sharon in Israel 🇮🇱 ❤
I love your cozy purple sweater! I also knit and crochet a lot, and something I purchased from Amazon that I'm trying out for the first time today is a total game changer for me. 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. 😊
That purple!! Just gorgeous. I love how you shared your checklist for justifying a purchase. And I hope you also sometimes allow yourself acquire something a little frivolous for pure joy....which checks the mental health box, perhaps? So glad you're finding ways to stay cozy and that at long last you can relax a little. You've come so far, and I'm grateful for all the ways you share your story and vulnerabilities. 🌟💖🌟
Love the pants!.I.wear shorts all year-end. Year-round, nice blouses/sweater,.I lean towards preppy and it is boring. I think I'm I could find some women's pastel ties,/knit.
The purple sweater is beautiful and looks very light and cosy. I have a blanket that I crocheted from gifted remnants of yarn, which I love to put over my legs and feet to keep any chilly draught away.
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.
Your purple sweater is simply beautiful and the neckline is wonderful. You have such a talent. :) I love to see this inspiration, it gives hope that not all people live by the fast fashion machine.
Your intentional buys are wonderful, as your eye for details and style. I wont think the burgundy pants be so chic and go with some many things but they do. And look great on u. Beautiful homemades as well. And it's good to hear you two were able to use the $ to buy noise canceling 🎧 & they are so useful 😊❤
My intention for the new year is to listen more and talk less. I hope I'll stick to this intention all year long and beyond. I find your videos always extremely inspiring and this one makes no exception, of course. Sending love ❤️
I believe that you underate your knitting skills Ana.Both the purple jumper and your vest are truly beautiful.I am now buying classic items of clothing that don't date and can be mixed and matched to save money and prove to be versatile.Thank you for your work...l enjoy your posts very much 🌈
I like your new wardrobe. I like that you are moving away from earth tones; the pinks and purples are very becoming. And I think you deserve comfort items like the earphones and the baby blanket. I hope those things help you. Much love Brian and Ana.
Hey Ana, you seem to be so happy at the moment, lots of smiling and good vibes. It‘s wonderful and suits you! I love the dusty pink t-shirt, it’s one of my favorite colors. I have a lot of dusty pink fountain pen inks! I‘m really glad that you guys are settling into your home. You look well!
Dear Ana, I am a knitter as well and I like your handmade sweater very very much. Two days ago I thrifted a cool green mohair wool☺. When I saw your beautiful Knitter I thought I just reach out to you to learn with which needle size you knitted it. Lots of greetings🙋🏻♀
Thanks for sharing your special items and intentions, Ana. I love your style. I especially liked the purple jumper - such a beautiful colour. I'd never thought of how items align with intentions so it has really made me think about my own purchases. Best wishes to you!
I have a 'safety'/travel blanket. too! : )) For the same reason you describe and to bring something that makes a place a little bit of a home instantly. Mine rolls up very small and fits in any travel bag.
Noise cancelling headphones are a game changer Ana! I do not care for my over priced ear buds. Over the ear wireless headphones I have too. Yet I really do enjoy the cord plug into my phone better than the wireless headphones. It seem the annoying long thick cord gets a better sound and cancels out more noise for me in the headphones. I have made peace with the wires finally. I enjoy watching your joy you share and the clothing is sweet Ana! Peace & Love as always my cyber friend. XO
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. 🙂✌👍🙏
Ana you are beautiful inside & out ❤ I really love the red sweater that you are wearing and hair looks so cool - suits you beautifully. I like how looks high waisted pants, but oh boy how uncomfy they are :D May you both find joy and fulfillment in the new place. Thanks for sharing!
As someone with narrow, long feet (size 11 and AA narrow) I will say that I am loving barefoot shoes from Xero shoes (their snow boots are the best) and Vivo shoes. The Vivos are a bit expensive, but last forever and are sustainably made.
Noise canceling headphones are one of my most valued possessions. I use them almost every day, sometimes even without playing any sound, just to block the noise in a crowded space! Enjoy! Curious why not use credit cards first all purchases? If you’re disciplined with paying the full balance monthly, you get to enjoy whatever rewards the card offers.
I love your red trend in clothes 😄I recently bought trekking shoes because my son took mine!!! I love them, I'm happy with my choice. I always wear white sneakers (with handmade wool socks, just like you!), anyway a good pair of trekking shoes can be very useful from time to time!
I have just bought three kitchen towels😢 although I had decide a no buy year 😢😢 but I am traveling with my motorhome , no laundry possible and so need them...
I love the colors of yarn for the sweater and pullover. 💜 The blanket is so cute and whimsical! I'm currently debating on purchasing one more piece of workout equipment. It is between a TRX straps or a pilates ball like what you showed. The TRX straps use body weight which I like, but they can range from high to low as far as cost. Still deciding... Thank you for sharing! I just absolutely love your videos. Take care 💜🌸
Hi Caroline! Sports equipment is something I never regret buying because I'm excited to use it almost every day and thus take care of my physical self. This investment is worth it! Sending love ❤️
I really like your additions to your wardrobe.As a knitter I am curious, do you knit from patterns? I love the vest, I have been looking for a vest pattern for ages. I love your color choices and the end results.
The purple sweater is such a gorgeous color on you! Your face absolutely glows when you wear that sweater. I bet you feel joy every time you wear it. (or even every time you look at it).
The sweater and the slipover are really beautiful. For the slipover did you follow a pattern or did you make it up. I haven't made many things this year as I've been overwhelmed with work but I really want to go back to creating things. Love from France.
This purple sweater is BEAUTIFUL! 😍
Thank you, Katarzyna ❤️

Your pants and handmade sweaters look so beautiful together. I hope that their cool luxurious tones make you very happy.🌷
Thank you, Michele ❤️
I think everybody wants that purple hand knit sweater! 💜
Jewel tones are definitely your colours. Deep reds are incredibly flattering on you. Love your knitted pieces too.

We live in a quiet area, but on some days neighbors do a lot of unexpected and long drilling sessions 😅

Glad you treated yourself, once in a while it's a good feeling. I love the purple sweater, I too have one in the same color. Take care 🙏

Hi Ana,
All of your items work very well together. I needed to buy shoes as well. I have one recommendation for you. Get a can of waterproofing spray for your shoes. I do 3 layers, letting each layer dry, paying attention to where the sole and upper connect. No more wet feet when it rains or snows.
Thanks for the tip, Sandie! ❤️
All the things you bought and made are Beautiful, I loved your red pants, I have one like this but in dark green, All the best to you and Bryan 😃
Thank you so much, Yahima 🌷
The purple sweater is so amazingly beautiful 💜 so are you!!!
You're so sweet, thank you! ❤️

I do feel this, Christiane! It's so amazing how colors affect our mood.

Hej hej Ana, thanks very much I'll try the needle size suggested by you❤. Best wishes from Germany🌟

I spent last year replacing the earth toned clothes with cool toned clothes as well. I feel much better in them. Good choice 😊😂

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. 🙂✌👍🙏
Thank you for your thoughtful sharing, dear Willowbei! I read some books by Joe Dispenza and find his ideas quite interesting.
Ana you are beautiful inside & out ❤ I really love the red sweater that you are wearing and hair looks so cool - suits you beautifully. I like how looks high waisted pants, but oh boy how uncomfy they are :D May you both find joy and fulfillment in the new place. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for being so kind, my friend ❤️
I looove the red blouse you’re wearing today 😊
As someone with narrow, long feet (size 11 and AA narrow) I will say that I am loving barefoot shoes from Xero shoes (their snow boots are the best) and Vivo shoes. The Vivos are a bit expensive, but last forever and are sustainably made.
Always enjoy your knits!
Noise canceling headphones are one of my most valued possessions. I use them almost every day, sometimes even without playing any sound, just to block the noise in a crowded space! Enjoy!
Curious why not use credit cards first all purchases? If you’re disciplined with paying the full balance monthly, you get to enjoy whatever rewards the card offers.
Credit card rewards don’t really exist outside the US 😅
I love your red trend in clothes 😄I recently bought trekking shoes because my son took mine!!! I love them, I'm happy with my choice. I always wear white sneakers (with handmade wool socks, just like you!), anyway a good pair of trekking shoes can be very useful from time to time!
I have just bought three kitchen towels😢 although I had decide a no buy year 😢😢 but I am traveling with my motorhome , no laundry possible and so need them...
Hello Anna ❤❤❤
Ana I like you ❤ loved your video and you look amazing in burgundy ! Not materialistic subject at all. Sending love from Brazil 🇧🇷
I love the colors of yarn for the sweater and pullover. 💜
The blanket is so cute and whimsical!
I'm currently debating on purchasing one more piece of workout equipment. It is between a TRX straps or a pilates ball like what you showed. The TRX straps use body weight which I like, but they can range from high to low as far as cost. Still deciding...
Thank you for sharing! I just absolutely love your videos.
Take care 💜🌸
Hi Caroline! Sports equipment is something I never regret buying because I'm excited to use it almost every day and thus take care of my physical self. This investment is worth it! Sending love ❤️
I really like your additions to your wardrobe.As a knitter I am curious, do you knit from patterns? I love the vest, I have been looking for a vest pattern for ages. I love your color choices and the end results.
I knit from patterns as I'm not super experienced to draft my own patterns, but I would love to learn one day
The pants are awesome
😊
Can you show some thrift stores there?
❤
Lovely Tank top ❤
The purple sweater is such a gorgeous color on you! Your face absolutely glows when you wear that sweater. I bet you feel joy every time you wear it. (or even every time you look at it).
The sweater and the slipover are really beautiful. For the slipover did you follow a pattern or did you make it up. I haven't made many things this year as I've been overwhelmed with work but I really want to go back to creating things. Love from France.
❄️💙.

What time of knit is the purple sweater? I love it!
It's a hand-knit simple raglan sweater, I used thin mohair yarn and 6 mm needles 😊
💜💙💚❤
Is it possible that minimalism can come from trauma? Of losing something that caused such pain one never wants to go through that again?
I think traumas can be the cause of almost every human action or choice. So it's quite possible!
