I have a tissue 'hack' for everyone (it's not revolutionary or anything but...). If you have an old tissue box or a reusable tissue box, you can place a roll of toilet paper on its side in the box and extend the paper through the box hole. Then you basically have the appearance/ convenience of tissue but you don't have to buy separate tissue. lol
For anyone who loves candles but also gets those stains on the walls- those candles unfortunately are super toxic made out of paraffin (petroleum) which causes the black spots on the wall and also very damaging to health of people and pets too. Soy wax is much more natural 😌 ditch the big box store candles and find a local candle person or small town shop, they know what's up 😊
Great idea, I have done a “multi Purpose item” video in the past but it would be nice to combined all the reusable/multi purpose items I use in one whole video👍🏼. Thank you ☺️🤍
Tip: Shave with fragrance free conditioner instead of soap...less drying. The brand Desert Essence has one that I’ve been using for years to shave wherever 😀
Yes! I m the same but I do have a salad spinner and love it! I can soak the greens in it, spin it to dry it so my dressings can stick to the greens better (cuz nobody likes wet greens in salad) and then I use the same bowl to eat my salad. Minimal dishes and delicious salad.
Kyra you have helped me so much I do not buy paper towels anymore we use kitchen towels and I do have about 40 because it's either I have to wash them so much if I don't have a lot or I have enough so I don't waste so much water. I also use the reusable liners and the reusable sponges I love them. The shower curtain that I do not have to buy a liner for. I love the wooden brush and combs , I also been filling my sink up with soap and water to wash dishes instead of letting the water run. Thank you for all the great tips on money too!!
If you don't have a handbag. How do you carry your menstrual products if you are going somewhere waiting for your period or just when it's a longer day where you have to have more stuff?
I’m never out and about like that. And most of the time my period underwear can hold up for over 8 hours if I’m ever in a pinch like that. But ever since the virus hit I rarely go out for no more than 20 minutes. Usually for grocery shopping or if I need anything. As for chapstick I keep that in my car at all times and my keys, wallet and phone I just put in my coat pocket or carry it with me. It’s never bothered me ☺️
Hi Vera, thank you 🤍 it’s crazy how the marketing companies target us woman so much on that one topic but not men 🤔. I always thought, maybe us woman are more gullible to purchase products we don’t really need.
YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!! I was so excited when I saw you posted another video. This video was great and it made me rethink my obsession with candles. It's hard sometimes especially since I work at Marshalls but I really need to stop buying so many. Thank you!
I have tried to strip my house of unnecessary items, especially electronic items. Plus unnecessary kitchen items. Really enjoyed this video. Very inspiring.
Love this video and all your content. I’ve been subscribed for a while now and originally subscribed for your minimalist content but I’ve also been loving all the food videos lately! I totally agree with the knives. We have a big knife that my husband uses but I’ll just stick to my paring knife
Hi Kyra, you always give the most sound advice. You feel like a sister. I don’t have an older sister (I’m the oldest of 3 sisters) and when I watch you I always learn something new from you. Thank you for the amazing content!
Question, do you carry your car keys around in your hand as well? I’d love to declutter my handbag but I find my car keys and my wallet can be a pain in the butt to carry in my hand.
Yea I normally carry my keys and my wallet in my hand or coat pocket. I rarely go out so it never bothers me as much. I use to hate having a purse lol I swear I was carrying that thing around for looks only because it was always empty. 😅
I've gotten 4 free Google Homes and Mini's. I listen to A LOT of podcasts daily so I have them set up in the bathroom, bedroom, and living room and it's amazing. You can connect them all through the app and have surround sound so no information is missed! And I can't stand silent showers, lol
I have a google mini in the bedroom (for podcasts to go listen too before bed) and a google home for the kitchen - watch TH-cam / listen to podcasts while I cook! Love these!!
I am old enough to be your grandmother, but I am curious about something many young women do. I do not quite understand why some shave their pubic area. About the only thing I ever did was trim my bikini line when wearing a swimsuit, it is completely normal to have hair in that area and it does have a purpose, I don’t know if they do it for hygiene or what. Years ago it was done when you had a baby, but they even stopped doing that. I just never recall any of my friends who shaved their pubes, so I am just curious.
@@SolisIlanga I have trimmed the long ones too, and I do recall when I had periods the hair created a problem, but then I would just bathe. It was just something girls didn’t do, and I don’t recall anyone talking about it.
I think it depends on personal preference as well. For me personally, I prefer the feeling and look of a full shave. As someone else mentioned, it also feels better sexually in my opinion. Also, when I was younger, if I didn't fully shave my skin/area down there would become extremely itchy and irritable. Once I started shaving fully the irritation stopped completely. More recently I've transitioned from shaving to just doing at-home IPL laser hair removal - I love that the hair doesn't grow back coarse/thick or hurt/irritate my skin anymore
I also live in an apartment and I’ve seen a couple futuristic doorbells and I don’t get it lol you need a key to get into the building, I imagine all it captures are residents bringing in their groceries
OMG right lol. Some people in my building have the same and I was always saying the same thing you just said to my bf. I guess it’s safe to say that we are all very different on what we spend our money on.
Assault, robbery and theft are at an all time high. Cameras are great ways to capture evidence and deter shady people. I live in a luxury, key access building with security, and all residents have Rings. Cant be naive to people sneaking in.
Make a video about your bedding. I have a hard time trying to stay minimal on this. I put decorative pillows on and then I take them off. Sheets duvets. Comforters. So much out there. Whats best to keep to really stay minimal on bedding?
I live with my boyfriend and for our bed we have the fitted sheet, the extra sheet, our blanket and two pillows. Sometimes I wish I had this fancy looking bed but then I think about it and I’m like ughhh making it is already a hassle, I’d rather keep it simple and comfy for us 😊
This one time I wanted to make my bed look pretty or" luxurious " ended up buying a comforter from target. When I tried to wash it my washer wasn't able to hold the weight. It was the" heavy weight" type. Never realized that there were certain weights on blankets too... too much work to take to the laundry. Got rid of it. But now I feel my bed looks so plain!
@@jaylennrosales6711 oh no what a bummer!! We have a pretty thin one. He layers up with a softer one because he gets cold quickly and honestly sometimes I just cover up with the thin sheet cause I get hot quickly lol! How about some sheets and light comforters with some cute designs or something ?
Ahh so I would make a video on that but it’s just too simple so I guess I will just tell you now lol. We own 2 fitted sheets (I swap them out every 3 days) only. And 2 queen sized comforters (the white one is mine and the tan one is my boyfriends) we like to have our own at night since he saids I hog all the blankets 😅🤫. Then we have 2 pillows along with 4 pillow cases (I swap those out every 2 days due to sweat and break outs). That’s about it’s☺️ I keep it very VERY simple. I know it doesn’t look extra fluffy like a spa or a fancy hotel but hey that’s ok to me 🤷🏻♀️👍🏼. I swear some people decorate there beds and couches like it’s a work of art of sometimes when really the Main purpose of them is to relax and sleep🤔 not to over think about which throw pillows should I get or which throw blanket should I grab this month.
We use the Schmidt’s natural bar soap in fragrance free. Sometimes I will use those Whole Foods soap as well if there made with no perfumes and if there on sale like buy one get one free. I don’t use anything from dove since they still test on animals 😢
I don’t own tissues or napkins. I grew up with them but since I’ve been on my own I haven’t bought them. I just use toilet paper as tissue and paper towel as a napkin.
Lady I have missed you ... lol I got into minimalist then went crazy shopping again n now I’m back lol I couldn’t find you n I couldn’t remember your name but finally found u again 💕🥰
The wooden comb I have is from amazon as well but I’m not sure what brand it is. I always have everything I talk about linked in my amazon storefront located in the description below the video ☺️
I can definitely agree with most of what you said expeshly candles 🕯 they are a waste of money. I try and not buy anything that doesn't last so I don't buy bath bombs or wax melts, or tissues etc. Great video again can't wait for more lots of love xxx
One yass I couldn’t agree more with them damn bath bombs 🤦🏻♀️. They always made me so itchy in the past even the ones that said for sensitive skin 🤷🏻♀️🤔.
I have a phone case that has my cards, ID, and small amount of cash. It works great and no need for a wallet. I did awhile ago when I got tired of dealing with old receipts and junk in it, plus I would forget it a lot too.
My dishwasher is my dish rack as well. I had a dish rack before but there's never a good spot for it so I got rid of it. I do run it sometimes just so it cleans the drainage. Love your content and love your accent! 🥰 wouldn't be the same if the accent was gone.
I think it may be the fat in the icecream that slows down the digestion, so the caffeine is not dumped immediately into your bloodstream to make you sick. I know if I eat oatmeal with only fruit, I get a bit jumpy, but if I put nuts in it, I don't. Just a thought;) Love your videos, thank you! xoxo
I wish I could get rid of T.V.'s in my home. I am just not there and not sure if I ever will be. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the one from my bedroom.
Haha I think I made a video like this in the past but maybe not. Idk I lost count after the 200 video I made lol but if I didn’t do that yet then I sure will because it sounds like a great idea 🤍 thank you so much Donouska
The point on the dish rack is so true. Whenever I do my dishes I prefer to finish the whole task rather then leave the dishes to dry and then putting them away, it just makes the kitchen look cluttered anyway. For me it's one of the easiest tasks in keeping my kitchen organized and clean.
i dont know how you can live without a purse, i cant, but i only have three purses, a back pack and a over the shoulder purse and a fancy wrist bag for special occasions. i agree with most of your unnecessary items. its a waste of time. simplicity is always nicer and peaceful. however, i definitely couldnt live without a tv.
I live in Florida Maria and for some reason I’ve noticed a growing trend with women not using a handbag. I’ve asked a few and they said that because of their jobs, they did not want to leave their handbags in work lockers for fear of theft so they’re used to carrying their wallet, phone, keys in their pockets and no longer need a handbag. I personally carry a backpack and keep a phone purse crossbody for when I run into stores because I don’t always use pants with pockets and I don’t like having my items in separate pockets for fear of losing them.
Haha my sisters are the same way they hate purses. I feel like when I had a purse it was something else to lug around all the time, I like to be free of any material possession. I swear once I became a minimalist it changed my whole perspective on owning things and certain things owning me. TVs have never been my thing maybe because I grew up in house where we couldn’t afford one so I guess I kinda grew up in a way of knowing I don’t really need one and it’s just an item for entertainment only. My laptop and my phone have been the items I always watch movies or documentaries on. My boyfriend is the same way, he was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and having a tv was a very luxury item nor him or his family could afford one so he grew up with not owning a tv as well.
*Doorbell* I've been debating on getting one for a long while now (& maybe put it in our mailbox)... our street level door auto-locks & the only way to know when someone is here is for them to call/text us. It's really annoying. There was once when my phone was broke & my spouse was gone that my dad ended up throwing rocks at my living room window to try to let me know he was here. Lol
Yea they weren’t really my friends though. Thank goodness I learned that later on. I agree though, I feel like the more feminine products someone uses it can cause a weird odor balance.
I own 1 handbag. It stays in my cupboard, I use it like once a year... i have never used feminine hygiene products, doctor's orders. I have 1 box of tissues, in the lounge, we have had for about 2 years now. If you have people over you don't wanna offer them toiletpaper... I have 1 knife set with 5 different sizes, I use three of them regularly, 1 more now and then, the other... meh. I have 1 coffee pod machine, I use it about 5 times every day...🤣 I have 1 clear phone case. Also use a wide tooth comb 🤣 we have cameras, our intercom is part of the complex we stay in. We do not have a doorbell. We have 1 large coffee table. My son uses it all the time 😁 we have our wedding photo up and when my son was born. We don't own candles. I live in South Africa, we have plenty of powercuts so we invested in UPS globes that stay on when the power gets cut. I also have no dishrack.
Thank you Sofia 🤍 I do take vitamins ☺️ I have them listed in there own folder on my amazon storefront located in the description box along with the wooden comb I use 🤍
I don't have a car, use douches (who does?), no TV, don't shave my twat, no tissues, no box cutters, no echo or Google home or whatever that is, I have one device - pre paid phone, one kitchen knife, no salad spinner (what is that?), what is a sound bar?, no projectors, computers, screens of any kind, no Bluetooth anything, no speakers, no phone cases, no Combs only one brush, no doorbell, no cameras, no locks, no intercoms, no coffee table, no bureaus, no framed photos... interesting vid. Thanks for posting....no dishwasher either
Omg I just recorded a clean with me kitchen edition. I have to still edit the video but I’m hoping to post it next week 🤍. Those clean with me videos and Vlogs take me hours and hours to edit 😅🤦🏻♀️ but I know it’s worth it
I have a cell phone wallet. I love carrying everything in one place.I only carry my phone, license, debit and credit cards, a chapstick and my keys. No purse needed unless my dress doesn’t have pockets. LOL!
Kyra all body shapes are great but being lean is a sign of good health and your face is has gotten lean but not toolean just right! Have u lost weight? Your also glowing ! Share ur secrets! Looking good!!!!
Ahh you just made my day hun 🥲🥲 I honestly have been eating less. I was eating way to much mostly out of boredom. I really need to start working out though because then that’s when I start to really see results.
I have been loving these satin pillow cases since the summer 🙌🏼. My bfs sister told me it would be better for my hair (shes a hairstylist) when it comes to frizz and breakage. And I have to say she was so right 🤍🤍. Best $10 I ever spent.
Just want everyone to remember that everyone’s lifestyle is different and will go through different phases in what they may end up needing or not needing. For example: I stopped wearing a handbag and only carry a small wallet for a year until I ended up needing to go to the ER recently after falling down the stairs. I wished I had a handbag to put all the important stuff in there 🤦🏻♀️ now I just purchased a backpack to carry essential items while using my crutches.
Thanks. I appreciate. Just one thing… With much respect, toilet paper easily gets fecal matter on it. Plus, Did you know that *the toilet is STill pumping for Two💦 hours(!) after EAch flush? Not kidding and… not placing my nose👃🏽 nor my guests’ precious noses (!) near toily paper. (Sorry, Ky. Guests just don’t react too well when I offer them toily.) And… There are lots of TV📺 shows online. (There are also TVs that can be put away and cabinets that can hide them, no matter what the size.) There are special “glue-less” glue hooks that do Not harm walls. Avoid tapered candles and scented ones too (unless from a high quality health/wellness store). You can’t go wrong w the tiny tea lights in your saucers instead. …Cats? Ooooh. Unless the tea light + saucer is placed on top of a fridge or extremely tall cabinet… *Sigh*. ***I WILL check out un-paper towel.*** Thank you🙏🏽 again. Will continue watching your vids. Cheers.
I feel you too; I have no microwave ( for over 8 years), no tissue, no coffee table, no dining table ( we use tv trays and folding tables for guests), and no echo or doorbell. I don't care for extra electronics.
Yea I know ☺️ that’s why I got rid of all of my other plants. I had about 60 plants back when I started my channel, it was fun while it lasted and I sure do have a green thumb. But now I only have 2 monsteras, I know there toxic but that’s why I will be keeping them in the bedroom with door closed or if the future cat goes in the bedroom i have to have eyes on the little guy or girl at all times. I don’t plan on having our cat sleep with us due to all the health issues that comes with that. Our local vet said it’s best to let the kitty sleep on it’s own never together in the same bed with humans. He suggested that with any animal 🤷🏻♀️ he said it can cause numerous health problems.
I agree almost on everything, but the salad spinner is needed when you want to quickly dry your leafs to store them in the fridge in an airtight container so they don’t go bad. So, I don’t think tossing it around would serve the same purpose 🤔
I just carry them in hand, I’m never out much, mainly for grocery shopping. It’s like same thing when guys carry there stuff wallet and phone in hand 👍🏼 or in pocket. Very simple
Oh no I’m very reasonable and kinda paranoid lol so I never leave my personal stuff anywhere. My whole 13 years of having a wallet and car keys not once have i misplaced them.
I have a tissue 'hack' for everyone (it's not revolutionary or anything but...). If you have an old tissue box or a reusable tissue box, you can place a roll of toilet paper on its side in the box and extend the paper through the box hole. Then you basically have the appearance/ convenience of tissue but you don't have to buy separate tissue. lol

As of 5-6 months ago I started using a menstrual cup and it is the best thing ever! So much more comfortable and environmentally friendly
Where do u shop for clothes
This may be a repeat question, but do you use q-tips/cotton ear swabs? If not, what do you use in place of them?
@@ourminimalfamily3908 what were their reasoning for this? Tfs🤍
don’t use those they are super bad for ears just get ear drops

WOW!! That makes so much sense Cassi 🤔 thank you for watching 🤍🤍
I don’t own a microwave! We had one when I was growing up and I thought it ruined the taste of food. No regrets …
Google home not sure what the point of using one
I mean I don’t personally need one but I know a lot of people like them so to each his own I guess.
@@Living.minimal they do come in handy sometimes
Omg. SOOOOO REFRESHING to hear someone finally agree with me on the whole TV thing 🤣
I wish I could get rid of T.V.'s in my home. I am just not there and not sure if I ever will be. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the one from my bedroom.
love your videos ♡
Thank you Kaine🤍 it’s always a joy to see you I’m the comment section ☺️. Thank you for all of the love and support!
I think the disclaimer here is “this might change in the future” haha great video btw
I completely agree, they are either dust collectors or a waste of money
🙌🏼🤍☺️
I love love your videos! They are so helpful.
Aww thanks hun 🤍☺️
Candles are also a hazard to your health, good video ❤️
May I suggest a video : 10 things (more or less) that I will never buy or invest money in ☺️
Haha I think I made a video like this in the past but maybe not. Idk I lost count after the 200 video I made lol but if I didn’t do that yet then I sure will because it sounds like a great idea 🤍 thank you so much Donouska
Not liking coffee but liking coffee ice cream makes total sense because I'm am the same way. Coffee chocolate chip ice cream...YUM! Coffee, YUCK!
Right lol😅
The point on the dish rack is so true. Whenever I do my dishes I prefer to finish the whole task rather then leave the dishes to dry and then putting them away, it just makes the kitchen look cluttered anyway. For me it's one of the easiest tasks in keeping my kitchen organized and clean.
i dont know how you can live without a purse, i cant, but i only have three purses, a back pack and a over the shoulder purse and a fancy wrist bag for special occasions. i agree with most of your unnecessary items. its a waste of time. simplicity is always nicer and peaceful. however, i definitely couldnt live without a tv.
I live in Florida Maria and for some reason I’ve noticed a growing trend with women not using a handbag. I’ve asked a few and they said that because of their jobs, they did not want to leave their handbags in work lockers for fear of theft so they’re used to carrying their wallet, phone, keys in their pockets and no longer need a handbag. I personally carry a backpack and keep a phone purse crossbody for when I run into stores because I don’t always use pants with pockets and I don’t like having my items in separate pockets for fear of losing them.
Haha my sisters are the same way they hate purses. I feel like when I had a purse it was something else to lug around all the time, I like to be free of any material possession. I swear once I became a minimalist it changed my whole perspective on owning things and certain things owning me. TVs have never been my thing maybe because I grew up in house where we couldn’t afford one so I guess I kinda grew up in a way of knowing I don’t really need one and it’s just an item for entertainment only. My laptop and my phone have been the items I always watch movies or documentaries on. My boyfriend is the same way, he was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and having a tv was a very luxury item nor him or his family could afford one so he grew up with not owning a tv as well.
Hi enjoyed this lol 😍you look lovely 💖
Hi Sharon, thank you so much ☺️🤍
*Doorbell* I've been debating on getting one for a long while now (& maybe put it in our mailbox)... our street level door auto-locks & the only way to know when someone is here is for them to call/text us. It's really annoying.
There was once when my phone was broke & my spouse was gone that my dad ended up throwing rocks at my living room window to try to let me know he was here. Lol
I really like the way you say ‘poofy’ lol
☺️🤍
omg your friends 😂 feminine products cause odor in my opinion.
Yea they weren’t really my friends though. Thank goodness I learned that later on. I agree though, I feel like the more feminine products someone uses it can cause a weird odor balance.
@@Living.minimal tmi but if your man hasn’t said anything I think you’re doing fine. 😂
It’s self cleaning and does not need those special products
This is the way of life in South Africa. The only thing that almost everyone has is a TV
I hate doorbells, I got rid of mine because I hated the sound of it 🙉
Haha I can totally see why 😅
Can you please make a video about how you get your teeth so white? I can't think of a way to achieve it without wasting a lot of money🥺
I own 1 handbag. It stays in my cupboard, I use it like once a year... i have never used feminine hygiene products, doctor's orders. I have 1 box of tissues, in the lounge, we have had for about 2 years now. If you have people over you don't wanna offer them toiletpaper... I have 1 knife set with 5 different sizes, I use three of them regularly, 1 more now and then, the other... meh. I have 1 coffee pod machine, I use it about 5 times every day...🤣 I have 1 clear phone case. Also use a wide tooth comb 🤣 we have cameras, our intercom is part of the complex we stay in. We do not have a doorbell. We have 1 large coffee table. My son uses it all the time 😁 we have our wedding photo up and when my son was born. We don't own candles. I live in South Africa, we have plenty of powercuts so we invested in UPS globes that stay on when the power gets cut. I also have no dishrack.
I’m a big fan of your videos !!! ❤️ Do you take any vitamins ? And where did you get the wooden comb👀
Thank you Sofia 🤍 I do take vitamins ☺️ I have them listed in there own folder on my amazon storefront located in the description box along with the wooden comb I use 🤍
I have that come from your Instagram! I definitely want to check out that underwear you use
8:37 so adorbs ♡♡♡
☺️🤍
Summer eve strips the good bacteria all that is a no no lol
I don't have a car, use douches (who does?), no TV, don't shave my twat, no tissues, no box cutters, no echo or Google home or whatever that is, I have one device - pre paid phone, one kitchen knife, no salad spinner (what is that?), what is a sound bar?, no projectors, computers, screens of any kind, no Bluetooth anything, no speakers, no phone cases, no Combs only one brush, no doorbell, no cameras, no locks, no intercoms, no coffee table, no bureaus, no framed photos... interesting vid. Thanks for posting....no dishwasher either
It would be great to see some new cleaning videos 😉
Omg I just recorded a clean with me kitchen edition. I have to still edit the video but I’m hoping to post it next week 🤍. Those clean with me videos and Vlogs take me hours and hours to edit 😅🤦🏻♀️ but I know it’s worth it
@@Living.minimal i hear you girl, you're a hard worker, and trust we definitely see it love
I have a cell phone wallet. I love carrying everything in one place.I only carry my phone, license, debit and credit cards, a chapstick and my keys. No purse needed unless my dress doesn’t have pockets. LOL!
Yass 🙌🏼🤍 thanks for sharing Kristin
My fav video
Yayy!!! So thrilled to hear your enjoyed the video 🤍
I want to stop being dependent on caffeine 😫
Kyra all body shapes are great but being lean is a sign of good health and your face is has gotten lean but not toolean just right! Have u lost weight? Your also glowing ! Share ur secrets! Looking good!!!!
Ahh you just made my day hun 🥲🥲 I honestly have been eating less. I was eating way to much mostly out of boredom. I really need to start working out though because then that’s when I start to really see results.
I see that satin pillowcase! 👀 I used to think only black people used those, glad to see more people are using them
I have been loving these satin pillow cases since the summer 🙌🏼. My bfs sister told me it would be better for my hair (shes a hairstylist) when it comes to frizz and breakage. And I have to say she was so right 🤍🤍. Best $10 I ever spent.
Just want everyone to remember that everyone’s lifestyle is different and will go through different phases in what they may end up needing or not needing. For example: I stopped wearing a handbag and only carry a small wallet for a year until I ended up needing to go to the ER recently after falling down the stairs. I wished I had a handbag to put all the important stuff in there 🤦🏻♀️ now I just purchased a backpack to carry essential items while using my crutches.
I don't own a hair dryer
Same 🙌🏼 I honestly suck at using those things lol. I always end up looking like a poodle when I’m done 😅🐩
@@Living.minimal 🤣🤣🤣glad I am not the only one.
I dont own or buy napkins, paper towels or tissues. We also don't own coffee table
Thanks. I appreciate. Just one thing… With much respect, toilet paper easily gets fecal matter on it. Plus, Did you know that *the toilet is STill pumping for Two💦 hours(!) after EAch flush? Not kidding and… not placing my nose👃🏽 nor my guests’ precious noses (!) near toily paper. (Sorry, Ky. Guests just don’t react too well when I offer them toily.)
And…
There are lots of TV📺 shows online. (There are also TVs that can be put away and cabinets that can hide them, no matter what the size.) There are special “glue-less” glue hooks that do Not harm walls. Avoid tapered candles and scented ones too (unless from a high quality health/wellness store). You can’t go wrong w the tiny tea lights in your saucers instead. …Cats? Ooooh. Unless the tea light + saucer is placed on top of a fridge or extremely tall cabinet… *Sigh*.
***I WILL check out un-paper towel.*** Thank you🙏🏽 again. Will continue watching your vids. Cheers.
I feel bad that you’re trying to change your accent or say some words differently 🥺 anyone who drags you for it can just leave 😤
I feel you too; I have no microwave ( for over 8 years), no tissue, no coffee table, no dining table ( we use tv trays and folding tables for guests), and no echo or doorbell. I don't care for extra electronics.
Yayy I’m not alone 😅. I mean we still have a microwave but that came with the apartment🤷🏻♀️.
No dining table?
Some plants are toxic to cats. Please check it out. Our cats are so dumb they try to eat my plants all the time 😂😂
Yea I know ☺️ that’s why I got rid of all of my other plants. I had about 60 plants back when I started my channel, it was fun while it lasted and I sure do have a green thumb. But now I only have 2 monsteras, I know there toxic but that’s why I will be keeping them in the bedroom with door closed or if the future cat goes in the bedroom i have to have eyes on the little guy or girl at all times. I don’t plan on having our cat sleep with us due to all the health issues that comes with that. Our local vet said it’s best to let the kitty sleep on it’s own never together in the same bed with humans. He suggested that with any animal 🤷🏻♀️ he said it can cause numerous health problems.
What's your accent?
Boston ☺️
I agree almost on everything, but the salad spinner is needed when you want to quickly dry your leafs to store them in the fridge in an airtight container so they don’t go bad. So, I don’t think tossing it around would serve the same purpose 🤔
Where do you put your wallet and keys if you don’t carry a bag?
I just carry them in hand, I’m never out much, mainly for grocery shopping. It’s like same thing when guys carry there stuff wallet and phone in hand 👍🏼 or in pocket. Very simple
@@Living.minimal your not scared of leaving it somewhere? Or someone pickpocketing you?
Oh no I’m very reasonable and kinda paranoid lol so I never leave my personal stuff anywhere. My whole 13 years of having a wallet and car keys not once have i misplaced them.
@@Living.minimal have you ever thought about a keychain wallet cuz that’s what I use when I don’t carry my purse
Where did you get your small wallet?
Girl are u a Taurus ?
Cancer ♋️
@@Living.minimal ☺️we seem compatible ☺️
Asians be like 'girl this is how we live for decades and hereafter'
Oh wow really, that’s awesome ☺️🤍 I love learning about other cultures and how they live and what they eat.
