Oh good, I’m so glad you’re drinking your coffee while filming, because I’m sitting on my deck, watching your video, and doing the same☕️ Can’t believe some of negativity out there😱I appreciate all the work and thought you put into your videos. It’s a big JOB to put even a small, intelligent TH-cam video together. I think you need to know how much these videos help me stay focused and moving forward. Thank you🥰
Wow the tissues were a shock. As someone with severe allergies who has a tissue box in every room in the house (even in the kitchen!), it's hard to imagine a reality where someone wouldn't need them 😂 I love how we each adapt these lists to our own needs and lifestyles!
💯 I love that people are sharing what hits their list and what doesn't! Not a shame game, but rather here's a sneak peek into my own personal selections!
DVDs and Blu-ray’s are essential for preserving old or out of print films. Not everything is streaming online and even those are not forever. A disk is, tho.
What I most appreciate about your list is that you know who you are, what you like, what you'll follow through with and you're good with that. So many times we buy and do things because others are. That's why I love minimalism. A big part of it is knowing who you are and getting rid of what isn't the real you, right now, today.
Well said! I've been working on the topic "Minimalism isn't what you think" and I think a lot of people think we just fall in the same carbon copy box... which we don't. We might have similar values, but minimalism isn't about being the same-- like you said, it allows you to get rid of what isn't the real you! Thanks for sharing!
I just realized that my thoughts on these types of videos have changed! When I started watching these 50 things videos three years ago, I felt like it wasn't much, but now I had the feeling "isn't she up to 50 things soon?" when you pass 30 things 😂😅
I love that you were like my daughters buy these, or if you buy this/like doing this continue! Like you were so respectful and understand that people have different needs and likes
There are so many things that I agree with you about. And most things I don’t want unless someone buys it for me. 😂I make due with the things that I have. 👍🏻
I have a tablet that is so old I can't even update a lot of apps, (or even the operating system, I don't think) anymore. Some apps aren't even compatible anymore so I deleted them. I mostly use it for ebooks at this point and will probably replace it for that reason, but the Libby app still works so I'm not doing it yet. I agree with you on hair stuff. My hairdresser doesn't even ask if I want hairspray anymore because I always say no. Whatever she does use before blow drying it I almost always wash out before I go to bed because I hate the way it feels by the end of the day.
Wow! I have stopped buying or using all 50 of those things in the past decade or two. They are all such a waste of money (in my mind). I don't know if you mentioned it or not, but I don't subscribe to hard-copy magazines or newspapers either. I don't buy lottery tickets, except occasionally for charity. Instead of buying new, I try to follow the three Rs - reuse, repurpose, and recycle. Makes me feel good! Btw... love your channel✨❤️ from 🇨🇦
Welcome! Thanks for the kind words. Newspapers + hard copy magazines are definitely another one... they just take up space! I too like to have multi=purpose/functioning items.
we have too many gadgets. Can you make a video on multi usage items/ tools/ equipment / any object that have multiple functions to reduce the amount of gadgets in our home❤❤
Great suggestions you made here Mia! I love to hear what people can live without and why. I'm totally with you on the cleaning supplies. You can easily get by with only five, for some people it might even be less. I usually use dish soap and vinegar, sometimes I need a little soda. The only special cleaning supply I use is a cleanerfor glass. I use it for mirrors, window and screens. I didn't get the hype about tablets either. For me, they feel redundant. I much rather use my laptop. I don't have a blowdryer. I wash my hair in the evening and let it dry. It often takes two hours, because I have thick and long hair, but I hate the loud sound of a blowdryer and I would be bored big time if I had to blow dry my hair for 20 minutes straight. We also don't have a dryer for our clothes. It's not common to have a dryer in Germany, especially when you live in an appartment, even though the clothes need two days to dry during the winter. I just hang our clothes and let them dry. I find it less overwhelming to put clothes away when they are hung instead of a giant ball I pull out of the dryer. It saves a lot of energy and electricity. Additionally I don't use any streaming service. I am not into films and get bored after a couple episodes of any series. I just read books or watch something here on TH-cam if I want to consume some media. Otherwise I go for a walk, do some voulnteer work or meet up with friends and family. I don't have a service for music, either.
I just discovered reusable makeup remover pads like last week and i immediately picked them up!!! Im glad it was a good investment cause i wasnt too sure!
Thank you Mia, your videos are so inspiring❤ I really appreciate the detailing and the effort you have put in every video, it is definitely one worth watching🎉
I’m all about getting rid of clutter, but after hearing some of the things on this list, I’m sure I wouldn’t want to be a minimalist. Some of the things here, I do agree with, however.
I use to use plastic containers for work, but at the time my place had a dishwasher, it started to get the junk from the dishwasher soap stuck on it. I recently got some high quality glass containers, they are so worth it. I also cut down from 10 plastic cheap containers to 3 glass nice containers.
Thanks Emily! I decided a long time ago to stop living by everybody else's rules and start playing by my own. You can't make everyone happy-- might as well make yourself happy 🤗
Same here! I additionally sewed several from old bed sheets from my great-grandmother. I use them for several things and they carry me through every cold.
If you dry off your razor blade after use, they can last a really long time. I have a 3 blade razor my son accidentally left at my house after a visit 3 years ago. I'm still using it on my legs with the same blade in it. 😅
I’m with you on 41 of the things you said. I would add paper towels, paper plates and forks etc. And we bought a bidet so we don’t buy toilet paper very often.
Learned experience! Its also been fun reading the chats and learning from others experience too... some things have been mentioned here that I agree with that didn't make the list 🤗
I am with you most things of your list I don't buy either. But I like my minimal holyday decor. I wanted some Xmas dishes so bad I could not get myself spending money on it. then a friend gave me 4 dishes and I was so happy cause is enough for our family of 4 and I won't buy more I will just use these for all month of December just for us. If we have family over I use my white ones. I dont buy make up cause I never been a fan of it or bags like you said. one backbag will just do .
@@ispawndemons3977 I have to agree because I didn't take prenatal vitamins and, at the time of birth, my acne cleared right up and my hair and nails were at their best as well.
I got a can opener (no electricity required, it's manual) from my mom when I started living on my own. I haven't used it once in ten years. I still keep it in case I have a can on which the pop top lid breaks. It still hurts to store it, even if it's small. Normally I would never keep something that I haven't used once in three years max.
I don’t buy conditioner, body lotion, make up wipes, cotton pads, tampons, or maxi pads, and I don’t buy coffee, lattes or teas out. I make from home and take with me. 😊 or hair dye
Really enjoyed this video. I have also been in the market for new pans because my experience with my Teflon pans has not been great either. I have been leaning toward caraway pans also..and I think you've just sold me! Thanks!!
I love them! And I can't get over how new they still look after all this time. I question how long I've owned them and can't always remember 😂 I have a discount code in the description you can claim when you're ready!
Seriously want to try a metal razor myself but I did swap to an electric razor, I have plenty of jewelry so there isn't as deep a need or want, and for water, I want to start carrying a metal water bottle (eventually collect rainwater). We don't need cable. We've survived without before because it's definitely not necessary. I'm trying to convince the parents because it's weighing on their finances more than the apps they use for streaming. We reuse holiday decor. Almost everything on that list I never get anyway and never understood.
I'd like to hear deeper reasoning into why we don't buy certain things any more. Some of it is just conditioning. It's likely that you didn't make a strategic or philosophical choice to no longer buy physical media. But like 99% of other consumers, we find ourselves just conveniently taking the constant offers of streaming. I don't think we should surrender previous or traditional means of doing things, simply because they aren't 'new'. Sometimes the convenient new item or service comes with a significant loss in quality, reliability, or more importantly- freedom/privacy. "Free" apps are a great example of this. It's understandable why most people wouldn't shop for new physical media- but think twice about releasing what you already own. There is more freedom and lasting value there than you may think.
I hate lotion too but I have to use it on my hands sometimes so they don't crack and sting. People think it looks funny how I put it on because I rub the backs of my hands together to avoid getting it on the palms.
Prenatal vitamins are likely what gave you those strong nails, not sure exactly which vitamin or mineral it is, but it really is your solution. give it 6 months you will know by then.
Oh wow the same so far! I never buy razors. I use my epilady if i can be bothered, but otherwise I just have hair - no biggie. Never buy water. The water where i live is artesian so we drink out of the tap. Nails - I hate manicures because I like to be able to use my hands for knitting and typing. Jewelry I hate. I don't even bother with my wedding and engagement ring as I got fat and never got round to resizing. Weve been married for 20 years and pretty sure we don't need to be wearing the wedding rings all the time to remind us. Id never heard of travel toiletries. Seems like such a waste of plastic! I have office supplies that ive had for years. I used to like nice stationery but my favourite store closed down (Kiki K) so sad 😞 no exercise machines or equipment as i have no car and walk everywhere. Party gear we bought some that we reuse too. No to holiday decor. I think that's a North American thing. No cotton rounds as don't bother with make up. Oh yes hate perfume! I prefer fresh air 😊 i really want to buy a printer! That's the one thing i disagree on. Ours died and ive had to get so much stuff printed down the road. It's so annoying. Oh handbags - no way! I love backpacks as hands free ☺️ i like getting a fridge magnet or patch from travels. Argh yes no for hairstuff and hairdryer (just use a towel to dry my hair) and straightener (sold mine as only used once in 15 years and hurt my arms to hold it for ages). Yes! We love that versatile glass stuff! We can't use teflon pans as we have pet birds ( budgies/parakeets) and the fumes kill them. We got Green Pan and love it. I keep thinking fancy cleaning tools will make my home tify but they rrally don't! Agree re dispoable cutlery and plates - bad for the planet! Yup only buy clothes that are easy care too. I may buy a new pillow sometime as have had mine for years. Never buy tissues! I use little mini cotton facecloths (reusable nappy wipes) and they're amazing on a runny nose! So soft! Kleenex is horrible! It's rubbing paper on a sensitive nose! No to eyelashes and brows. I tweeze the middle of my eyebrows but that's it. Fun going through this list with you😊
I have hand lotion in every room. I’m obsessive about lotion as I can’t wash my hands without it. I wonder if you had better nails while you were pregnant because of the prenatal vitamins so maybe taking extra vitamins would help. I have also tried the bamboo face rounds but find I use a lot more product on them than the cotton. I got some good ideas from your list but overall I think I learned that I should find what works and stick with it rather than continuing to try to buy something else to try.
I love that we can all inspire each other about what's on our list and what didn't make it! I've definitely seen a few responses that resonated with me! And yes-- switching just for switching doesn't really help anybody...
Do we really need it? That's such a great question. This takes character take a bow! (Take a look at scripture, there's a mine of info. You'd be surprised!) We are so consumed by consumerism - me too! It's not easy to recognise, you can do better without many many things! 😀 Great video btw!
Thanks for asking! I actually use Aura frame (it's made features in past videos). It's been a game changer since we manage it from the app and allows us to really just have 1 central picture frame. We upload new photos when we take them, swap old ones out, and family and friends can even drop their photos into the frame via the app. So it makes for a fun + fresh rotation and a gift that keeps on evolving!
16:31 I like your storage system for your Caraway pans and lids alot! Do you by any chance remember the name or where to buy these two storage systems?
Aren't these pictures frames in your background? I own two picture frames, one i had for years the other one I bought recently and I'm on the fence with getting rid of it again. I like bare walls. Do you also have your walls bare or what do you use for decorating if not art in frames? Thanks ❤
Great question- and call out! The difference to me is that I have intentionally chosen a back drop that I love for some art and that it's been there for several years that I don't swap out multiple times a year based on the season. They're just there, all the time! AND with that, I don't buy the frames for actual photos. It's the buying frames specifically for photos that stopped making sense to me (how can I just pick the one to display, and will I now need 20+ frames in my small condo to display the ones I love?😅) Hope that helps clarify!
@@MiaDanielle thanks for an honest answer to an honest question. In my mind frames for art and for pictures was all the same. Probably I just didn't knew that buying new pictures frames for new fotos all the time was a thing people do. Maybe it's more in the US as I'm from Germany and although I can relate a lot to your videos there are sometimes things that puzzle me.
Also, for me I like to display my fotos similarly as art. So they are art to me, although very personalized. How do I pick and choose the pictures? I chose those that are aesthetically the most pleasing and fit in the color scheme of my room. I don't display pictures for sentimental purposes, that's too personal to me and depends too much on my mood if I want to see them on a given day.
My nails were stronger while I was pregnant and someone told me it was because of the Prenatal vitamins I was taking. Not sure if that was true or not but I guess it makes sense.
Your eyebrows could use a little nicer shape, they seem really thin, but I kind of get it is a hassle to pay to get them done. I am working on my brows too.
I like that there are different eyebrows shapes on different people. Social Media and advertisement makes us think everyone should try and match some shape that's supposedly ideal or trendy right now, I find it extremely boring and irritating to the point I struggle to tell actresses apart when watching a movie - sometimes there are three or more blonde woman with age and appearance so similar, it makes it very difficult to follow the plot and understand who's who 😂
I love keeping my hair soft and touchable too, but living in FL it's easily damaged. I switched to coconut oil instead of conditioner and argon oil instead of styling products. Between that and protective styles it completely changed my hair! Figured I'd share Incase someone else can use it. 🫶🏻
@@MiaDanielle lol yup it is! And funnily enough I just finished explaining to my friend that's why my hair doesn't look greasy: I use way less oil than I ever did conditioner. When you find the right stuff, you need way less than you thought. Goes for everything from hair products to baby clothes 😆

I am 62 and left home at 17 and have never bought tissues
Nothing wrong with toilet tissue instead of buying extra
Haha same!! My nose is stuffed like 200 days out of a year lol

There are so many things that I agree with you about. And most things I don’t want unless someone buys it for me. 😂I make due with the things that I have. 👍🏻
Trying to have others not give me gifts I won't use, like alcohol!
I have a tablet that is so old I can't even update a lot of apps, (or even the operating system, I don't think) anymore. Some apps aren't even compatible anymore so I deleted them.

Writing letters by hand is one of the great pleasures of life!
I agree! There’s nothing like a personal handwritten letter from a friend.
Wow! I have stopped buying or using all 50 of those things in the past decade or two. They are all such a waste of money (in my mind). I don't know if you mentioned it or not, but I don't subscribe to hard-copy magazines or newspapers either. I don't buy lottery tickets, except occasionally for charity. Instead of buying new, I try to follow the three Rs - reuse, repurpose, and recycle. Makes me feel good!

This must be a joke right? You don't buy toilet paper? LOL. Even if you have a bidet you still need toilet paper. LOL.
@@germainedeperalta1812 Actually, we very rarely use toilet paper. We use rags to dry off. And we still use some toilet paper but not much.
The bidet in our home has definitely decreased TP usage!
Love this list and your reasoning as to why you don’t buy those items
Learned experience! Its also been fun reading the chats and learning from others experience too... some things have been mentioned here that I agree with that didn't make the list 🤗
A long list, but I think the same about most things. There were only about 7 items that I do buy and use on this list.

Prenatal vitamins might be why your nails were strong during pregnancy. Keep taking them and see if your nails improve again.
I came here to say this too
It's the boost in hormones from making the baby that strengthens nails and hair, not the Prenatal vitamins.
@@ispawndemons3977 I have to agree because I didn't take prenatal vitamins and, at the time of birth, my acne cleared right up and my hair and nails were at their best as well.
My mom left a Teflon pan on her stove and the fumes killed her pet birds.
oh my gosh. That's really scary... I am glad I ditched the teflon for something safer...
You have to be careful of fumes and smells around pet birds.
I only buy cans with pop top lids so I don’t have to own a can opener at all. Tomato paste comes in a metal tube.
I got a can opener (no electricity required, it's manual) from my mom when I started living on my own. I haven't used it once in ten years. I still keep it in case I have a can on which the pop top lid breaks. It still hurts to store it, even if it's small.

Nice video. There is no such thing as glass Tupperware though! It is the brand of the original plastic storage containers.
I don’t buy conditioner, body lotion, make up wipes, cotton pads, tampons, or maxi pads, and I don’t buy coffee, lattes or teas out. I make from home and take with me.

I love that we can all inspire each other about what's on our list and what didn't make it! I've definitely seen a few responses that resonated with me!
And yes-- switching just for switching doesn't really help anybody...
Do we really need it? That's such a great question. This takes character take a bow!
(Take a look at scripture, there's a mine of info. You'd be surprised!)
We are so consumed by consumerism - me too! It's not easy to recognise, you can do better without many many things! 😀 Great video btw!
Hi! How do you shave if you don’t buy razors?
I have a metal razor :)
You have a 16 year old daughter? You look 16 yourself! ❤❤❤😊
I like your videos Thank you for sharing God bless you Greetings from Panama
Thanks for watching! 🇵🇦
I would like to know what you do with your photos? Do you only have it digital? I love to do photobooks, especialy for my kid. How do you manage that?
Thanks for asking! I actually use Aura frame (it's made features in past videos). It's been a game changer since we manage it from the app and allows us to really just have 1 central picture frame. We upload new photos when we take them, swap old ones out, and family and friends can even drop their photos into the frame via the app.
So it makes for a fun + fresh rotation and a gift that keeps on evolving!
Wonderful video ❤
Thank you 🤗
16:31 I like your storage system for your Caraway pans and lids alot! Do you by any chance remember the name or where to buy these two storage systems?
They're from Caraway! Unfortunately, I am not seeing how to purchase them without purchasing the set.
Thank you.
Hey love ur videos all the way from kenya
Welcome! Wow all the way from Kenya. Glad to have you here 🤗
Aren't these pictures frames in your background? I own two picture frames, one i had for years the other one I bought recently and I'm on the fence with getting rid of it again. I like bare walls. Do you also have your walls bare or what do you use for decorating if not art in frames? Thanks ❤
Great question- and call out! The difference to me is that I have intentionally chosen a back drop that I love for some art and that it's been there for several years that I don't swap out multiple times a year based on the season. They're just there, all the time!
AND with that, I don't buy the frames for actual photos. It's the buying frames specifically for photos that stopped making sense to me (how can I just pick the one to display, and will I now need 20+ frames in my small condo to display the ones I love?😅)
Hope that helps clarify!
@@MiaDanielle thanks for an honest answer to an honest question. In my mind frames for art and for pictures was all the same. Probably I just didn't knew that buying new pictures frames for new fotos all the time was a thing people do. Maybe it's more in the US as I'm from Germany and although I can relate a lot to your videos there are sometimes things that puzzle me.
Also, for me I like to display my fotos similarly as art. So they are art to me, although very personalized. How do I pick and choose the pictures? I chose those that are aesthetically the most pleasing and fit in the color scheme of my room. I don't display pictures for sentimental purposes, that's too personal to me and depends too much on my mood if I want to see them on a given day.
very nice
My nails were stronger while I was pregnant and someone told me it was because of the Prenatal vitamins I was taking. Not sure if that was true or not but I guess it makes sense.
Prenatals + additional hormones!
It was only 49? lol

Your eyebrows could use a little nicer shape, they seem really thin, but I kind of get it is a hassle to pay to get them done. I am working on my brows too.
I like that there are different eyebrows shapes on different people. Social Media and advertisement makes us think everyone should try and match some shape that's supposedly ideal or trendy right now, I find it extremely boring and irritating to the point I struggle to tell actresses apart when watching a movie - sometimes there are three or more blonde woman with age and appearance so similar, it makes it very difficult to follow the plot and understand who's who 😂
Or you could just hush and keep your comment to yourself? Or is that too hard for you? ;)
So instead of adding to the conversation you decide to offer your unsolicited advice about such an IRRELEVANT and unrelated subject??? WOW
I love keeping my hair soft and touchable too, but living in FL it's easily damaged. I switched to coconut oil instead of conditioner and argon oil instead of styling products. Between that and protective styles it completely changed my hair! Figured I'd share Incase someone else can use it. 🫶🏻
Thanks for sharing!! oil is so versatile and has many amazing benefits... less is really more here!
@@MiaDanielle lol yup it is! And funnily enough I just finished explaining to my friend that's why my hair doesn't look greasy: I use way less oil than I ever did conditioner. When you find the right stuff, you need way less than you thought. Goes for everything from hair products to baby clothes 😆
