Please show your minimalist wardrobe! Would love to see it since you’re an aspiring actress in Paris ❤️
Hey! Yes it is on my list of vids to do, I will soon!! ☺️❤️
Your personality is so cute. Less is more. I've been minimalist for about 10 years. Its just such a feeling of calm and freedom.
Haha thank you Melanie! 🌸
Yes it is and I’m really happy that people are more and more interested by minimalism!
Buy loose leaf tea instead of tea bags. Better taste and more infusions because leaves aren't too broken up.
Taking a shower everyday is overrated. One, it really dries out your skin. Two, it gets rid of your healthy oils and friendly skin bacteria that helps you fight germs. Your “cat wash” is ideal. 100 years ago they used to have wash basins, like a fancy porcelain bowl and pitcher, and that standard was very cleanly and hygienic. There’s a great TH-cam video about it.
💯 💯 🙌
I would love to hear more about your transition into an ultra minimalist lifestyle! I'm a bit of a hoarder so while I'm getting better about not introducing new items into my life, it's hard for me to let go of things i already own
Great idea! Noted 😉 I really think the key is baby steps. I’m an ultra minimalist but I’m still declutterring and letting go of things and for some things it takes time and it is completely ok ☺️
Have a good day / night 🌸💜
Be gentle with yourself. It is an emotional journey. 💜
Really inspiring 😊 I'm super intresting in the laundry detergent recipe.
Thank you Annie for watching! Will do the laundry detergent recipe next week 😉
Can you show your wardrobe and how you tend to pick pieces if you shop
Yes it's planned 😊
Cute video! By the way, I love your apartment, it’s so cosy.
Thank you Patrizia! Yes I really like it 🏠☺️
I agree Exploravore has a great channel.
Would love to see a minimalist skincare and beauty/makeup routine! New subscriber and really like your channel ❤
I did a beauty / skincare routine already please check it out 😊❤️
I'm gonna try the tea tip from now on! ❤ Lovely video!!!
Yay! Thank you! 🤩
Good morning! You remind me of myself except I am 65. Your natural beauty shines. For many years I have surprised my friends by not having a refrigerator or stove/oven. They are both unnecessary, take up space, and harm the environment in multiple ways. Ty for posting!
I'm not an (ultra) minimalist but I try to be intentional with what I own. I also only carry a small bag with my phone, my earbuds, a small wallet, my keys and some tissues. Can't imagine carrying around a heavy bag every single day.
Being intentional is the most important!
And completely agreed with you 😉
Great list, very inspiring, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I use loose tea in a teapot and so it stays strong for 3 uses; I wear a nice backpack to keep my hands free. In it have small wallet, readers (glasses w/o prescription), phone and keys. For decades, I have no TV. I only use cloth napkins again for decades and never bought paper dinner napkins. I think it is healthy habit to watch my water bottle at least daily. I love taking a daily shower and prefer heat over wearing a lot of clothes in the house. My house is shoe free. I am a semi-professional artist but don't hang any of my paintings and have mostly bare walls mostly hanging scrolls from In China & Japan and Buddha statues from India. I wash plastic veggie bags and reuse them until they rip. I am not a minimalist per se, but I do not like clutter or being wasteful.
Thank you Céline for sharing your way of life! Really inspiring too. I never buy paper dinner napkins too and use the veggie bags until they rip off too. 😊
I grew in the island and water is very much my favorite thing to drink, swim or shower. Cleaning my skin morning and bedtime is essential for me 👩🏾🦱
Brilliant ! I am an old grandfather and as such I must take the Liberty to say I am proud of You and wish All the Best for Your Career and Future. 😊
just found your channel and now you have a new follower 😂❤ yees pls do a laundry detergent. Can you also do a video about your bathroom beauty items and how you eat according to minimalism ?
Hello and welcome 🤗 The video of the laundry detergent is just published 😄
And yes I will do these videos, thanks ❤️
@@louisefroideval thank you 💖💖
Never thought of myself as a minimalist yet I do all the things you mentioned. I wear my pajamas for three nights before washing.
Awesome - love what you are doing 💯
Thank you 🙌
Hi :) I really love your videos and could also declutter A LOT in my life 😂
Hi Anna! Thank you really much and a little tip for your declutter : start with one room / or only the clothing for example, take it step by step makes it way easier! Take care 💕✨
Just stumbled on this. Not really ever heard anyone talk about being a minimalist. How interesting! Thanks for sharing.
To be honest I have so much stuff I don’t need. I’m not exactly a hoarder but we are having clearout soon and redecorating so might try and bear minimalism in mind.
Not sure I can be as hardcore as you but it’s really interesting. I also carry a big backpack. Maybe I don’t need to anymore 😂
I’m glad you enjoyed my video even if you’re not a minimalist yourself! 😊
I have not always been a minimalist either, but since I saw the documentary « the minimalists » on Netflix it changed my perception of material possessions and made me realise how many stuff I had. I highly recommend it 😄
Good luck for the new redecoration and everything! 😉
Oh pleaaaase look into the world of minimalism! It has changed my entire LIFE in the last year! I'm so much happier, free, and less stressed!
The Minimalists, Joshua Becker, Gabe Bult, The Minimal Mom, Clutterbug etc!
I would like to see the video about your wardrobe and clothing. You are so interesting and inspiring person. Thank you ❤️
Yes a wardrobe video is definitely on my list!! Thank you so much for your words 🥹💕
Love your comments with minimal clothes washing and bathing I feel the same. you’re funny also. You have a nice accent too. No purse wow just a banana bag 😂
I enjoyed your video very much. I look forward to your laundry detergent, wardrobe, and mall bag videos. I do about a third of what you do on that list. Not weird at all .. just being mindful, intentional, and not wasteful.
Maybe one day I'd love to see your dog. I have one too and I always love seeing furry friends on videos❤
Thank you Fiona 🌸 My little daughter-dog is on my firsts videos if you want to check it out but for sure she will be on more videos, love to see furry friends on TH-cam too haha! 🐾❤️
Unrelated to everything, but your hair is so pretty! Also blue is a good color on you, it contrasts the hair and makes it stand out even more :)✨✌️
Thank you so much!! And blue is my favourite color 🧚🏼♀️🩵
What a great video! I wish more people do what you do. I gave my TV away several years ago, as I felt it was a waste of time. I also don't have subscription of any kind. Like you, I wear the same pair of socks for several days, unless I go running. I have more kitchen dishes than you because I cook at least two dishes for each meal and sometime invite friends over for a meal. So I need more than two bowls.😊I do have couple of artworks on my walls. They are my paintings, not posters from my travels. Simplicity is the best!
Hey Thomas! Thank you for sharing! Hopefully this channel is going to inspire people to live more simply, that’s my goal! 🌍💚
Nah, I love showering so I wish not to live like her.
Excellent video. Lots of good tips.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Mary! ☺️
I am an aspiring minimalist. My goals are more moderate but this video is inspiring. ❤
You can do it! Baby steps is the key! Thank you ❤️
I enjoy listening to you ❤🇦🇺
I liked the sharing Louise, and didn't find anything particularly weird, although I found it shocking that you weren't learning Portuguese. ahahah
Woh same for socks, tea bags, Tv and stuffs. It's funny to find ways to have/do less. Maybe this minimalism instict is generational 😂 Old times are clearly an inspiration !
Now I live in a big house with a lot of stuffs that the owners left so I tend to use more objects that I normally do, so I don't have to throw too much away 🤷♀️
I wear compressions socks made with wool and love them for my office job since I sit for long periods they are also great for when I take my breaks and exercise! Wool is lovely and naturally odor resistant I can wear one pair for 3-4 days before washing. 😊
I find it very cool that you are a model and actress and are a minimalist! A lot of people in those jobs probably are not and full of materialist desires/items. I would love to know your detergent recipe!
Yes I talk a lot of minimalism when I meet my « coworkers » of the day and usually they never heard of it and couldn’t do it haha! But I’m always happy to spread the message of a more intentional and simpler life, even in a world as superficial as acting and modelling : it is possible 😄 Thank you Magdalena ! 💚
I'm in Sweden and looking out the window - it snows. ❄❄❄
I live in England and last year energy was so expensive I’d just warm up some water and take my hot water bottle with me everywhere 😅 it was honestly fine and I’ve saved so much money just by doing that
I feel you! Great tip! When I’m cold I use my hot-water bag that I use initially when my period is painful, it does wonders to keep me warm 🥰
I recently learnt that a few ultra minimalists use only pasta bowls, instead of side plates, regular plates and bowls. I thought that was so coooooool! Even if you had 6, that's still the same as 2 people owning 2 of each. No awkward stacking in tight spaces either.
Great video on 14 ULTRA MINIMALIST good job
Thank you! 🙏
This is like listening to a description of my life ! I have children at home and I am minimalist but they are not. We have only four bowls, no plates, a cup each and I make laundry detergent as well. I work with animaux and only wash socks every three days and never ever have the heating on. No handbag either ! No tv,no 😊subscriptions Une belle vidéo, merci beaucoup Louise pour vos efforts
Ps les gants de toilettes en anglais ça s’appelle à flannel.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire ☺️
Great video, lots of good tips. A lot van be learned from our ancestors, yes. My grandma lost everything in WW2 but always lived minimally while many of her generation saved every scrap of paper. Maybe she knew that when it really came to it, it was futile to hoard stuff.
Thank you ☺️ The older generation was living simpler that’s for sure!
Love your ultra minimalist content ❤
Can you please share your DIY detergent recipe ?
Thank you ❤️ Yes it is coming soon!
Very nice i achieve the same tipe of minimalist ❤
thanks for sharing this video! very interesting and not so weird I think! I understand a lot of things you said😊😊I do have a question though; you said you don’t have a big bag, but don‘t you sometimes carry a waterbottle or your laptop around to go to work or uni or a cafe to work there? and if so, how do you carry these things then?😅🥰
Hey Lucie! Yes I just use my little bag with me most of the time because there’s always drinks and food on set where I work! But usually I just take my waterbottle in my hand if I’m going on a walk for example. And I almost never use my laptop haha it’s always at my home! ☺️❤️
Trop contente de découvrir une minimaliste française ! ❤
Oui on est peu j’ai l’impression ! 😅❤️
1. Same
2. No socks for me
3. Laundry detergent from the swap meet
4. No tea for me
5. How is that minimal
6. I don’t like purses
7. I only have 1 bowl, 1 saucer bowl, and 2 plates
8. Electric is very expensive. I try to minimize use.
9. I don’t like television. Only TH-cam premium.
10. Healthcare worker
11. I HATE clutter.
12. If I have excess I use until completion and stop buying.
13. I don’t watch television
14. Damn girl you’re strong for the email thing. I don’t take pictures often.
Minimalism or maximalism depend on how our mind works, according to our past experiences our limits and our fears... nothing right and nothing wrong... our job is to find our personal equilibrio...
Completely agreed with you! 😊
Heating is important for the bulding substance. Not only for your comfort.
For example mold can grow easier if a building is not heated correctly. Most leases have a heating clause, where tenants are responsible for heating in an adequate manner and can face repercussion if damage occurs due to incorrect behaviour.
I am using heat in December and January. But I am pretty sure I am the only one cutting it in February so that’s ok 😉
Exploravore is great! Recently discovered her too.
She is amazing right??
What do you typically eat in a day and do for exercise? Could you also show a video?
Noted to the list of videos to do! 😉
Hi Louise how cold does it get in your apt ? If I tried that here in Canada my pipes would burst and it would be a very expensive disaster
Hi Shirley, of course we can’t compare French weather to Canada weather 🥲
It is usually 19 degrees in my studio right now, but I would definitely not not using heat in Canada haha 🥶
Plastic bottles are very toxic. Also you should wash it every day. Bacteria grows quick. Hopefully you use a glass bottle.
Yes I will wash it everyday from now on, I will replace it with another glass one when this one will be broken 😊
@@louisefroideval A proper bottle brush really helps a lot to clean it, otherwise it's frustrating.
Now I know why some people are always asking for a tissue, an intimate wet wipe, an elastic for the hair, a bandaid, a nail file or sooooo many other things in case of accident...
I have tissues on my bag and I never ask for those things, but even so it happened, it won’t be the worst thing on earth to ask for help. I sometimes give a tissue to a stranger if someone ask me and I’m always happy to help if any way if I can. 😊
What kind of glove do you wash yourself from the sink with? I am very interested, thank you.
Just a regular flannel ☺️
@@louisefroideval Thank you.
Oui, la toilette de chat!
We call it a 'horse bath' here - midwest, USA.
Think cat bath may sound better!
Okay! Yes cat bath sounds cute indeed! 😃
Whats better a metal bottle or a glass one?
The glass is recycled infinitely so I would say glass 😊
Can you show us your small purses?
Yes will do! 😊
Hello Louise, nice to hear about your choices. Your lifestyle. I agree with what you have said. One superficial question, do you use lip balm or lipstick? I use only simple only simple natural products .. thank you for sharing
Hello! Yes I do use a lip balm, I will make a video about my beauty products soon. Thank you for the nice comment by the way ☺️
Enjoy your videos..thank you again.....
It's good for your health to sweat really good once a day. Make it a habit and you will thank yourself in your old age.
Thank you for this advice! ☺️❤️
if you don't have subscriptions, what do you do to listen to music? 😮
I listen to music on Spotify but I’m not paying for Spotify premium 😊
I've never seen eyes that colour before 👀 💕 😄 ...My parents are maximalist too - drives me nutz! Life is much better (and easier) with less 😌
Thank you ☺️ My family are maximalist too and yes it can be difficult, it requires a lot patience and understanding to make them understand that they don’t need so much stuff, it is a long journey 😅
@louisefroideval Absolutely - though I struggle a wee bit with the patience sometimes 😂 the funny thing is, the clutter actually frustrates them!
You look like a young Fiona Apple (one of my favorites).
You demonstrate how little is necessary to live on... and happily it seems to me... so often we spend for not being satisfied (instead we feel overhelmed).
Yes! And it is a process of understanding that if we don’t feel good we just need to take some time alone to figure things out instead of buying mindlessly new things, because it is a never ending circle 😌
I don't understand how there are people who see your extreme way of life, I analyzed each point you said because you explained them with argument and frankly it all seems very sensible to me, and that the extremists are all the accumulators who don't even have space to store the things that continue buying. I wait for the moment when the planet forces us to see your way of life as something inevitable, we are leaving mountains and mountains of garbage, destroying everything because we find it very useful to change our telephone every year, our furniture every 5 years, our washing machine, cars... and that people who bathe daily and even take more than 15 minutes, know what it means to ration water because there is not even enough to drink in many places on the planet, it is shameful that it seems extreme to them to live consciously, and live without carrying a ton of things that destroy the future of those who remain. Thanks and congratulations
Amen to all that. 🙌 Thank you for this comment 🤗
@@louisefroideval 💗
Take me a cat bath, then a cat nap. 😊
All I can say is that you have a Mindful way of living ❤
Thank you ❤️
Use menstrual cup instead of tampons. Saves a lot of money, it is healthier and it is better for the environment.
Agreed 💯🙏
How do you stay thin? Is it genetics?
Diet 🥜🍏🥕🥦🥑
@@louisefroideval great ,thanks
✨💖🙏👏🖐🙃👍🎉
New subscriber ❤. Much love from our channel 6breakingloose 🇨🇦
Hello and welcome ❤️
Hi sweet lady🎉 I do not shower every day. It's so bad for my skin. When i travel, i pack minimalist. It's not as minimal as you🎉 My most things is makeup! 🤦♀️ Have a great day!
Hi!! Thanks for sharing, there is no « right amount » of minimalism, the most important is to be intentional with what we have ☀️ Have a good day/night too ❤️
I wear two pair of socks a day, my feet stinks 🤮
Haha we are not equal in this subject!
Lycka till med svenskan!
Tack so myckett! 🫶🏼
Your minimalism is too extreme for me.
Ultra minimalism is not for everyone that’s for sure 😊
@@louisefroideval True.
@@louisefroideval I inspire to your level of minimalism, but it'd be far too hard for me! You must feel sooo light and free!! 🎉❤
For me, this "extremism" is great, we would be less harmful to the planet, unfortunately we want more comforts than necessary
I am 60 and working towards this. I’m so tired of stuff. I do love my laundry to smell
Delicious. lol
I think it's kind of cheeky to talk about women carrying too much in their handbags while at that same time, asking to use one of the things that they are carrying in that handbag.
Hello ! I’m not sure if I follow you here but everyone thinks differently on the subject and that’s ok 😉
@@louisefroideval If you want a tissue, get your own tissue. Carry your own tissue. Buy you own tissue. Weave your own tissue. Use a leaf. But don't ask the woman with the big bag for a tissue that she is carrrying in her big bag and then talk about how nice it is for you not to carry a big bag around with you.
@@Smithpolly You are completely out of my point. If I don’t carry something on me it’s because I do not need it. But it wouldn’t kill anyone if some day for example I hurt myself and ask for a tissue. On a daily basis I have my tissues on me, and I’m always happy to help if someone ask for one. It is called mutual aid. Again, you’re completely missing my point, I’m not blaming anyone for caring a big handbag, I’m just stating that I personally don’t want such a thing and I wouldn’t change that 😌
@@louisefroideval You may not have said it directly, but you certainly gave a strong vibe of it being crazy for them to carry that much stuff. And frankly, you're right. It's kind of crazy that there are so many women going around with large , heavy "mutual aid" sacks while other people are carrying a light "mutual aid" tissue , if that.
Hi! Have you always been a minimalist ?
Hi! Not at all! I explained everything in my video « how minimalism changed my life » ☺️
Oh ok thanks! I'm gonna check that :) @@louisefroideval
Seems like you are romantizising scarcities of past hard times while at the same time condemning the behaviors that keep people safe, like having extra soap
I am not romantizising or condemning anything or anyone, I just share what I do and like, « live and let live » 😉
everyone understands from their own level of consciousness 😊 《live and let live 👏👏👏👏👏》
Your minimalism not suitable for middle eastern families ahahaha
That’s for sure that it is not for everyone 😆
Most of the tips r kinda disgusting.
It is your vision, not mine 😉
