So refreshing to see someone who’s minimal these days. Everyone seems to be consuming like crazy
I am not minimalist, but I don't consume that much either! Balance is everything!
I’ve stopped buying excessive groceries that just go to waste. Not only have I lost weight but, I’m also saving money!
Since I’ve watched you I’ve cut down on smoking a ton I’ve gone from 6 to 2 a day which may sound like nothing but it’s a lot of progress for me, I’ve stopped buying things I want but don’t need. I’m going through the process of decluttering I really do owe it all to you kyra you’ve opened my eyes x
Omg congratulations hope you get rid of that habit soon
Girl since I was inspired by you I was trying to purge things in my room today and I was so overwhelmed!!!! Clutter was giving me anxiety and I couldn’t believe I had so much crap. I can’t wait to get to your level one day.
Bar soap lasts a lot longer too!
I’m also glad to see you did not get rid of your desk 😊
Cold brew tea is so good for You! Put tea (loose tea or tea bags) in a mug, fill with water and put in fridge(6 hours), in the morning you have cold tea that is less acidic and more antioxidants
🖤
Omg since i become a minimalist i stop buying ;
Make up
Hair products
Nail polish
Perfumes
Jewelry
Those are just few ..
P.s love you videos girl.
Same 💚
Mrsdarkness I stopped using those things and haven’t bought any in a year...! My skin, nail and bank account thank me...!❤️❤️❤️
Can't stop with the nail polishes... I just hate not having my nails done, I don't have much though, and I try not to duplicate them... But have to have some.
i'm not sure if someone in the comments has mentioned this already but you can always use steel or tin containers which are entirely plastic free
Try ginger when you have a tummyache/nausea!
Canning jars can be an option for tuperwares if you want a completely glass container with a glass lid. The french brand Le Parfait is really sturdy. I use it to store my coffee because they're airtight.
I prefer homeremedies when I'm sick in a cold. I experience that a lot of people don't allow themselves to be sick and get well naturally. I want my immune system to work and not be dependant on medication.🙃 thank you for the video Kyra❤ you are the best!
I saw on your Instagram story that you updated your vision board and one of your goals was to have 20k in your bank account. Could you please do an updated video on how you save money. I absolutely love your lifestyle!
You saved $50 a month on pads/tampons? Danggggg lol how often do you get your period or what kind were you buying lmao. The average price is like $7 for a lot of them which last a good two months
Right?! I was like What the heck? I spend maybe $10 if I need to purchase pads and liners, but usually one or the other carriers over into 2 months.
Meera Al Batayneh lmaooo girl idk i was pregnant and forgot how much pads and tanpons were🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like she runs through them quickly or she changes them often 🙋🏽♀️
Val Vega seriously I buy mine at the dollar tree lol
in a year I spend €22.68 on pads. guess it's really cheap in the Netherlands
Kyra, the glass containers I use have glass lids and seal with a rubber ring and metal clips. They are Weck brand. It’s a German company.
You can gargle warm salt water for a sore throat. Works every time for me!
Kyra thank you so much for your work and sharing your life with us. I watch your videos, feel refreshed, and feel great energy. I have been cleaning up more thanks to your videos. You inspire and energize me and I love your vibe and energy. You put me in a great mood😊🙏thank you.
I can’t wait for the videos on the pads! It’s something I’ve thought about for awhile,I need to switch over ASAP x
You won't regret it, I've been on cloth for 2 years and have no regrets.
I have the same reusable pads!! I have 3 years with them (maybe more) and they are still good, no stains or anything.
You are teaching me so much, thank you.
Your very welcome 💕
just in time for my study break! I LOVE YOU!!
YAYYY🙌🏼 love ya to hun💕
New closet tour please!!! I am trying a go at a minimalists wardrobe. I love to see closet tours. Hope all is well!
Se posted one Video about it one month ago.
You are so inspiring!! Im starting to make small changes myself. I use to surround myself with to many things(makeup, clothes and beauty products) I've downsized sooo much. Now if I can just get myhusband on board lol
I stoped buying plastic water bottles,i have a reusable one.
The second thing I stopped buying is liquid soap and now I have one bar soap. it saves me a lot of money and yes it is great for the environment.
You’re such an inspiration 💗
Awww thank you 💕💕
Kyra- I really enjoyed this video g/f! I SWEAR you're such an inspiration! I swear! I'm cleaning out my closet right now and I'm like WWKD (what would Kyra do) HAHA! Anyways, I enjoyed listening to your favorite current items! This is awesome! I NOT take a lot of medication either! I believe in the nature way too g/f! I enjoy your videos so much. I re watch your videos a lot while I am cleaning to make things easier for me to get rid of! I appreciate your time and your videos! Good luck w/ your vehicle issue. Stay positive! Much love from Kentucky g/f!
I love your videos and its really inspiring. Im thinking of personally reducing the use of plastic. I would definitely use reusable pads instead of disposable.
Omg thanks 🙏 for the lemon 🍋 tip I go through so much pepto and emetrol for my nausea and I have a lemon tree this is gonna save me a lot of money
My therapist and I share a common interest with your videos! 💓✨
How do you change your reusable pads if you’re at work or out?
Perfect timing for me and this video. Need to get pads and I have been trying to find alternatives.
Also never liked wearing mascara
Also agree with the medicine thing. My go-to for when I don't feel well is fasting. I simply stop ingesting any food and drink plenty of water with some apple cider vinegar
Hey hun, peppermint tea is also very good for upset tummy.. ginger too.. use rose essential oil mixed with any carrier oil (sweet almond/grapeseed) if you ever have mood trouble/shock it also protects against viruses , liver and stomach infections ect...it's expensive but extremely worth it.. you can mix with milk and bathe in it too or as a foot bath... smells amazing too xx
Great video! Check the Weco glass jars with glass lids. Those are one good option too.
No tox life is the best. I used to live down the street from the store. It’s a very small neighborhood store with the best stuff! I highly recommend. Great people as well.
I also stopped buying all pharmaceutical products 2 years ago. I'm all about the natural route! Colloidal silver, oil of oregano, elderberry syrup, and herbal teas work wonders
Love your videos♥️
I feel the same way about mascara...no need to apologize for not wearing it!!! Thanks for your trying to be more zero waste. I think that's great !!
Wow i guess i was minimal af lol i only started buyin stuff i typically didnt....makeup wise...but PLZZZZ explain how u can not run outta the reusable pads especially for someone who had baaad periods....is this really something doable i feel like id hafta buy 100s of dollars worth cuz id run out...
I use a regular bar of soap. I don't like loofahs and liquid body wash.
I would love to replace my plastic hangers but I just can't replace them do to budgeting reasons. I got rid of all my wire ones coz they were awful.
I love your hair can you do a video on what products you use and a hair care routine.
I'm glad you talked about pads. I made my own years ago and the savings are huge I just can't figure out how to get them to stay in place. Diva cup is great too. The dish block soap is neat never heard of it. Those wooden hangers I always see in thrift stores, super cheap.
Jacalli you can try using thight underwears also try to put buttons on them if you dont have them that works for me
@@rosasantiago5872 how do you do buttons? Are they on the pad or underwear?
Every mascara I have ever tried made my eyes itch.
I really want to try this with not purchasing pads I think it's gross, but I'm scared how do I clean them?
I own my tupper for 25 years now and they still are in perfect condition... how much energy and environment to recicle good glass containers had it cost?...
Love the chia seeds tip. I usually soak chia seeds in water overnight and drink them in the morning just plain. They're ok but I’m kinda bored with that. I'm gonna try the chia seeds in almond milk.
Oh definitely try it. All sorts of flavour combinations you can try. Mixed berries. Peanut butter. Using a flavoured milk is good. I use yoghurt sometimes. Love it
There are glass food containers which have wood/ bamboo lids and they only have a small silicone trim on the lid for the seal. I've seen them on Pinterest, Shelbizel the TH-camr has them ( maybe she has them on a recent kitchen tour video). IKEA might have them.
I literally just came back from food shopping, and put the vegan yogurt in refrig...
I’m going to make the chia pudding now
I saw someone post reusable ziplock bags that you can buy on amazon. I thgt that was great Bc I use ziplock bags quite a bit when I cut my veggies or fruits to freeze for later. So they are in my amazon cart😀
These reusable pads honestly look so comfortable!! Although they cost 7€ =7,78$ / month here.. I’m very intrigued to try these pads
I've stopped buying bottled water, vegetables wrapped in plastic or plastic bags (we have to pay for them in Poland) I didn't know that lemon juice can help with stomachache and I'll try this for sure. We used to take painkillers here for everything... And I'm very curious about all that period stuff.
What do you do about bad stomach cramps? I never used to use medicine either, but the older I get the worse my cramps get advil is a MUST for me!
Look into ORGANIC OLIVIA products, she does have a product for PMS
can you freeze food in glas? will you ever exchange the plastic tops of the food containers?
Yes you can freeze glass containers
So true about the hangers! I'm donating a bag of them to the local charity shop.
Another great video! And you don't need makeup anyway. You're beautiful as you are 😊👍
For the glass Tupperware you can use Mason jars and they are really inexpensive and come in different sizes
Ok, so what about emergencies? Do you have a bug-out bag, or a 72 hour back-up kit? What would you do if there was a horrendous snow storm and you lost power for 3 days? No gas, or electricity? Or if there was a black-out during the summer, or earthquake, etc? What is your plan for safety in an emergency?
I have a backpack burner which I have 5 gas cans. But my landlord already told me that if the power goes out there’s a back up generator (just Incase) so there’s no need to worry. Not sure what I bug out bag is or a 72 hour back up kit is 🤷🏻♀️.
@@Kyraann. a "bug-out" bag is a bag that you would take with you if you had to evacuate your house or neighborhood due to an emergency like a flood, chemical spill, earthquake, etc. You would have to shelter with friends or family outside of the "danger zone" or go to a local school, or church to seek shelter until the conditions are safe(check out footage of shelters in Houston during the last series of floods, and ask yourself if you are prepared for that possibility). A 72 hour kit is basically similar, but usually is a collection of things including food that you would use if you had to shelter in place for 3 days. As in, you could not leave your house due to extreme conditions. I know these things are not fun to think about and the excess seems to crash with the minimalism idyll. However, none of us are exempt from emergencies and natural disasters. You should spend some time researching what you might need in certain situations and figure out what and how you would be prepared for multiple situations. I'm not suggesting you run out to the local camping store and stock up, but just having some extra canned and packaged foods on hand just in case is pretty smart. Also, a bag with extra clean clothes a blanket, flashlight in your car is smart too.
Thank you 👍🏼
Two words for concentrated immune-supporting benefits: elderberry syrup. Look into it. I take it about every other day as a preventive during cold and flu season. Would take more if I had cold or flu but I haven't had either! Sambucol is the brand I like which claims to be vegan. Or you can make it yourself. Love the video!
I know you are young but the plastic container are just that Tupperware is REALLY a thing that last forever...I'm only mentioning this because my daughter who is 28 also say Tupperware 😍😍
I find with plastic containers you have to buy a good brand that lasts. I use Lock & Lock or Sistema.
U lost me at mascara 😂 I have to have it
That idea about not buying medicine is so smart, I might need to start doing that cause I usually don't take it. Plus there are super small travel versions of things like advil that I could buy if for some reason I really need. I have so much medicine I haven't used I just bought cause I feel like I had to.
I do think everyone should have wound care items like bandages and cause and neosporin at least. Most everything else can be bought in smaller sizes if they are really needed.
i’ve never used medicine either for anything, not even allergies. i like it that way.
Yass!!! I’m happy to see that I’m not alone 😁
I never use medicine either. I try the natural stuff first. I use oregano oil vcaps for an antibiotic, camomile/ mint tea for stomach aches. I have a ton of Remedios from my grandma.
I’m sorry I don’t have allergies but I would google that maybe there’s some awesome remedies for allergies on Pinterest 👍🏼
@SMILE LOTS You can try homeopathics...they are pills but not technically "medicines"...also there's NAET treatments, acupuncture, and shots from your dr. I struggle with allergies and am constantly on the lookout for non-medicinal help, too, so I'm curious to see what everyone else says too.
I agree with everything except for the fact that you should buy new stuff like the clothes hangers. Yes, the wooden ones are nice but it would be more environmentally friendly to search for second hand ones; usually, thrift stores have a lot left over. Also, and here I don't know if you meant throwing them out completely, plastic containers that you don't want to use for food anymore can be used for other storage purposes. I like these kinds of videos because they are a source of information and inspiration but I think it's important to mention that switching to a better version of something does not necessarily mean throwing the old one away.
Yea next time I will be more invasive for the ones that don’t understand what I mean.
Good job ♡
Thank you 💕
Can you do an updated minimalist wallet if your carrying one still please ?
I was going to do that video but I only carry 2 things around which is my license and my credit card, so I felt like it people wouldn’t be that interested in that video since I don’t carry much.
Kyra Ann we always enjoy your content. I did notice you in a video recently having a wallet, but wasn’t sure. Maybe a video relating how your life is better without a wallet then?
And i use glass too for everything i hate plastic i do need to eliminate my spring water bottles tho but im soo picky i cannot drink nething but spring water inwas thinkin of gettin one of those big jugs u pump water outta
I’ve been using bar soap since I was a teen I hated the harsh body washes that are so popular. Unfortunately my husband loves his body wash with exfoliation but I’m trying to switch him over haha!!
Also glass Tupperware keeps food from going bad as fast/keeps food fresher
Love your “yeah sure! “ 😂😂😂👌
I agree with the medicine thing. We are indian so we always have home remedies. I'm actually sick with a sore throat so gargling warm water and tumeric helps your throat!
I am wondering what your thoughts are on vaccines?
Well... my period comes only ever 3-4 months sometimes 6 months and i still have a stack but i only found out about this type of pad today 🙊
I need to use pads coz my flow is just too heavy! Plus cramping 😭😭😭🌊🌊🌊🌊😩😩
Same here girl
I bleed heavily and cramp horribly. But since using a diva cup, I've notice my cramps are less painful, and the cup is amazing because I don't have to switch things out as often. Give it a try!
They make glass containers with bamboo lids x
I'm with you girl on mascara! Never understood why bother using mascara. :-p
Lmfao the mommy dearest reference 😂😭😭 I don't buy wire hangers never have never will 😂
😂 glad you caught that one
I wonder if they will make reusable baby diapers like they make reusable feminine hygiene under garments. Or do they already do that?
This is a thing already, here in Brazil we have some alternatives.
@@natassiatavares4568 lucky brazilians!!!!
I havent bought any menstrual products this year. I use reusable pads now. Im never putting plastic down there again 😳
My sexuality is now comprised of how you say “mascara” 😍
Ain't she cute !
I use the same containers
Kyra, does your boyfriend have the same minimalist lifestyle as you? if not do you live well with that? 😘🇵🇹
Tamara Costa Great question I was thinking the same thing I hope she can read this and answers us?
Thats a great question, so when it comes to my lifestyle I guess I'm considered a neat freak/minimalist. When he's a minimalist but not as crazy as me when it comes to the neat side. Don't get me wrong he's neat and clean and I'm above and beyond. We both have a ton of things in common specially when it comes to what we put in our homes. We both don't own a tv and agree that if we want to watch something we can just watch it on the laptop. So needless to say he is a minimalist but in his own way. I'm ok even if he wasn't into that because at the end of the day I love him no matter what.
for me instead of ditching mascara I rather didn't replace my brow pencil cuz I realised I could use my mascara for both my lashes and my brows. once the mascara is done I'll prolly just use my brown eyeshadow
We need more people like you
😂😂 Those Dominican remedies, gotta love them
🇩🇴💕 the crazy thing is that they really work to, I’ll always have love for DR and the amazing people there. I swear it’s my second home.
I love my notoxlife bar
Girl that’s the main reason I don’t wear mascara anymore because I hate washing it off I feel you
You are so inspiring..
Is that your natural hair color?
No, I dye my hair black once a year
How come you never wanted to try the diva cup? I use tampons right now and have thought about trying the diva cup
I was never a fan of tampons :( so I feel like it’ll be the same method. I rather using the pads/underwear. I’m just not comfortable with tampons and the diva cup.
There are now literally 100s of cup choices out there, gals! I have a Diva cup and I can't feel it if it's in properly, unlike tampons which I always felt and always leaked on me anyway. If I were younger, I'd spend some time researching cups for myself, but since I'm nearing menopause I'm more interested in the underwear.
Lots of people love the mentrual cup....but I have a very tipped uterus and could never get a proper seal and it was painful. I tried for a whole year. Finally gave up and threw it away.
Have you read the book A Life Less Throwaway by Tara button?
I have not 🤔 but sounds very interesting
I just found out about buymeonce.com for good quality sustainable products and the book which I will be checking out at my library🎃
Those are the ones we just got from Sams Club!
what's the problem with diva cup?
I never liked the feeling of tampons so I was very iffy on the diva cup, it’s not for me I prefer pads or the reusable underwear.
@@Kyraann. There are now literally 100s of cup choices out there! I have a Diva cup and I can't feel it if it's in properly, unlike tampons which I always felt and always leaked on me anyway. If I were younger, I'd spend some time researching cups, but since I'm nearing menopause I'm interested in the underwear, so I'm looking forward to your period video! =)
I dont live the cup either, its not for everyone
YESS my mom is a seamstress and made us these pads now her, my sister, and I use them and i even got my friend to too
I hope some days we have period underwear in Bolivia!!! I really want them
I too hate mascara
Didn't you used to buy the black velvet hangers from Dollar Tree?
I did :) and underneath the velvet was a plastic base, some broke from me putting my jeans on them (to much weight I guess) but the ones that survived I gave to my bf and he just puts his dress up shirts on them
@@Kyraann. lol.....i haven't put jeans on mine yet. Thanks for the heads up!
$50 every month? My goodness, I just bought $50 worth of underwear, socks and a sweater for my boyfriend for the next couple of years and I felt guilty for spending that much. I can't imagine on pads. (I only get my period once a year so I can't relate on buying pads/tampons every month)
Yea my period lasts about 5 days once a month. I never missed a month. My sisters get one period a year to but they have a thyroid problem :( so it cause then to only have there period once a year. They hate it. Trust me I wish I would’ve switched years ago to these reusable pads, I would’ve saved a ton of money by now.
Kyra Ann It's just upsetting on how much we buy to hurt our enviroment even more. But luckily we have people like you to share alternatives. Thank you ☺️ By the way, i'm a minimalist in the making thanks to you, i've been on Low/ No buy for 2 months, have saved soooooooo much money and my boyfriend has hopped on board as well because he has definitely seen a transition not just in our bank account, but in our cleanliness, moods, etc..
I also don't buy more pads , for my healthy and my money 😊
Do you use tampons also
No I was never a fan of those.
wow and you do not need the mascara at all
I don't purchase foil, shampoo in plastic bottles, new clothes, paper plates, paper towels, tissues, tampons, new furniture, decor items, excessive gifts, and processed frozen foods.
$50 a month for pads? I go through maybe 7 pads per week.
My period only lasts me 5 days once a month, that’s probably why.
Maybe I'm mistaken but I think the point was how can you spend so much on pads per week. Where I am from, a 10-pack of pads is about 1 - 2.5€, how is it possible for it to cost so much.
Topple oh well I was stupid enough to change them every 2 to 3 hours 🤦🏻♀️ that’s why I went threw so many and spent so much money. Growing up many other woman told me to change it every 2 hours or so. And that’s what I did, I’m happy I made the switch though. WE LIVE AND WE LEARN 👍🏼
Before I switched to cloth, I spent maybe $50 a year...
The ad I had before this video was for ziplock bags 🙄🙄🙄
