@@rm1558 Whew, you worked hard! Thanks, I will add this as the chapter list later. 🤗 I was meaning to go back and fix my old videos, so this was great. 👍
I can’t stop watching your videos. You’re so down to earth and very helpful. I was a sentimental keeper of things. Once I found minimalism I was finally able to let go. Thanks for sharing your story! I seriously love that you’re a real person being a minimal mom instead of trying to fit into a box
I appreciate that you added in that little screenshot about the lasik thing being untrue. There’s nothing wrong with being mistaken about something but pointing out that something you said was inaccurate is super important and not something that’s done nearly enough. As a person of science, I really appreciate that. Love your content by the way :)
Yes about the children’s books. I think its incredibly important to nurture a love of reading. Plus I don’t want to have them on a screen to read books. Studies have shown children retain and learn more from physical books.
Marissa: Make sure Lasik is the best method of correction for YOUR eyes. I almost got Lasik but stumbled on to some info the ophthalmologist didn't fully discuss with me...I have very pronounced astigmatism (my eyes are shaped like un-cracked eggs) so Lasik wouldn't have corrected it much and could have actually made my vision worse. I'll be having Cataracts removed later this year; it won't get me perfect vision (nothing will) but the weight of new glasses will save my nose : ) It sounds like your vision is really poor as well so I would hate for something to possibly make it worse. My best to you Marissa : )
Having lasik gave me dry eye really bad. I’ve been living with horrible dry eye now for 15 years and my astigmatism has came back about 5 years ago, so now I can’t wear contacts because of the dry eye and I’m back to wearing glasses. I regret getting it
yes, absolutely, I loved the library membership as a child and we only had to pay something when we returned the books too late (I believe you could keep them for 4 weeks). That barely happend since I've been quite frugal back then already 😅
I had glasses starting at age 8. I had super thick lenses and was paying a fortune for contacts. 4 years ago I invested in PRK laser surgery ($3500)! BEST DECISION EVER!!!! I HIGHLY recommend looking into it! Although it was expensive it paid for itself in less than 2 years for me!
I had LASIK done in 2008, and I definitely remember the smell of my eyes being cauterized. I ended up with 20/15 vision, but my night vision was shot for 4 years before it healed. I was warned that I would need reading glasses in my 40's due to aging, but that hasn't been the case as I'm about to turn 50.
Great video! I have slowly been changing my lifestyle to be more minimalistic! Definitely still important to spend as a minimalist! Loving your content :)
If you want to try more international food. Try finding a Malaysian or Indonesian restaurant, and try this dish called Rendang. Its delicious. And sambal.
I don't know if you will see this but invest in a Berkey water filter. The filters can last up to 10 years and the water is way purer than normal fridge and jug filters. It's also a gravity filter so no electricity etc needs to be used.
Great video! And yes those trolleys are life savers in Europe. What I'll never stop buying is the Method daily shower cleaner. My husband uses soap and I cannot stand the soap scum build up. This baby keep sthe shower super clean. I reuse Method spray bottles. Love Castille soap dilluted in water ..use for countertops,wood,furniture,counteracts, and vegetable /fruit wash. Also use the dillutable lysol to disinfect. Got this multi purpose spray from trader joe's from a friend as a gift and got hooked..it cleans glass and mirrors like no other so i do not buy window cleaner anymore .
Lasik is life changing. I had it done 10 years ago , my husband had it done this year. Sure you smell a funky smell for split seconds but you will be on Valium so it won't bother you 🤣
Marissa, those bags getting broken- it can be solved ;) there are non plastic, thick material type bags, the 9nes from Lidl or Aldi are very good and long lasting. I have mine for at least 3 years now, and you can also wash them :) no plastic materials involved so a win win. The only thing is they are a bit larger after folding, not big at all tho ;)
Don't be scared of lasik. Its the best thing I've ever done. I also started wearing glasses when I was 8 and at 26 I had the surgery. No pain or discomfort whatsoever. Obviously its a strange experience, but it is a VERY short surgery. And i didnt smell any cooking eyeballs lol!
Welcome! I’m definitely not the first person who has done this kind of video, if you run a search for “things I buy minimalist” I bet you will find others, cheers! 👏
Totally agree on the children's books 👏👏👏👏👏👏😁, I listen to audio books, but I will happily buy my daughter books, always have and always will. She is 6 and in first grade and loves reading, she reads so well that she is allowed to go to the second grade classroom and choose from their book selection. She reads in English and in Portuguese.
You made really great points here, loved that video. One exception i make is buying childrens books - my daughter also loves books, but because of that, we go to the library instead of buying them - it is so much cheaper and we always find books we would never have thought of buying. Especially in germany you can find a lot of excellent libraries in every city, maybe you check these out.
Great video!! Amazon Prime is the way lol. My kids are avid readers too. We borrow like 10 books a week from the library and if there any that they really enjoy and want to read over and over then we most likely buy it for them.
You could take the kids and introduce them to the libary and they can learn to take care of the books be read it in time which is generous and also they can or could use what ever THEY LIKE and CHOOSE .... and than again it is FREE to millions of books to discover along with kids activities
You are cuuuuuteeeee. Thank you for this topic. Qualified. Inspiring as always. Thank you for sharing. Going towards minimalism is not easy, especially with the kids. But I am happily running into it. In this vlog. I agree with you. To my opinion. I would include plants as my shopping list too.
Shut the front door... that’s such a good idea with kids! We recently moved to Germany as well and I’m going to do that with our Netflix. “You can watch some tv but it has to be in German.”
good funny on eyeballs...love your ideas and suggestions...how do you handle books? I love to read and have too many...and you have answered that question...:@) thanks!
I LOVE your hair!!! How did you get it to grow so long? Sorry I should mention This makes so much sense, especially as someone who has been chasing minimalist for the past few months. Thank you.
I've seen people use glass(1 or 5 gallon) jugs as water refill bottles. One person told me they thrifted their 5 gallon bottles and another mentioned some breweries will sell the containers as well. Yeah, we switched to filtered water, too. Only descale our water boiler(4 liter machine) a couple times a year.
Hey 😃Great content by the way. For Books we go to our City Library. They have a lot of Books for children. We go there one or two times a month. Greetings from Munich
@@katrinm9286 Yes and we mostly stay home as much as possible right now! There are a lot of projects I have paused because of the pandemic - stay safe and healthy! 🙏
I had Lasik done 4 years ago, I did not smell my eye ball cooking, the surgery went well, I have thrown away my eye glasses and had great vision since.
Hi, for the children’s books you can find every book in a public library and it’s free. You can get the books for a week and them you take them back and get more.
I personally really love Pimsleur, I was gifted Chinese and German by a friend and I used it to teach myself Chinese, and now I am using it for German -- now they have reading lessons, but I didn't have those previously! amzn.to/3AcLxpX I am also exploring online programs right now to find something that might be more interactive. :) Cheers and good luck!
Lasik surgery was the best thing I have done. If you have insurance it may pay for part of it. Has saved me so much money on contacts and solutions. You can take meds to really relax you and it was no problem.
Have you ever tried hard lenses? You have to clean it every after use and if you do so they will be okay for up to two years. They are compatible with dry eye, but you will feel it more. Have to get used to it 😅 Best one day lenses are the "Dailies Total 1" from Alcon. An alternative to Lasik is set a lens into your eye. But my opinion is, every surgery can bring complications. No replacement for eyes. If 10.000 will be fine and only one goes wrong - I will not be the one 🤔
OMG eye ball cooking, you killed me LOL funny i just cleaned my oven the natural way, it's SO easy to make your own cleaning supplies ;-) I hear you when you say we don't go out too much, why spending money on dish you can cook at home ;-) See ya Marissa i posted a bunch !!
Contacts - I've never been able to wear them! Even though my eyes feel just fine, I do not have enough of a tear layer and the contacts would end up being glued to my eyeballs! My eye doctor told me that would eventually result in blindness! Um....no thank you! Only glasses for me!
I got my first pair of glasses on my 10th birthday 🤓. In 2010 I had LASIK surgery and it is amazing, have a consultation and see if you are a good candidate for the surgery, not every case is. It's not cheap up front but it quickly pays for itself.
Das Beste für die Augen sind harte Kontaktlinsen. Du solltest diese einmal testen. Aber sie sind Anfangs nicht wirklich angenehm zu tragen. Man gewöhnt sich aber daran.
Marissa darling my tip to you is drink a can of V/8 every day and your eyes will be much better off! Personally since 1986 I've had to pay for a new pair of glasses every year at a great expense to me because my eyes get worst and worst, but now that I drink V/8 my eyes are great! I can read the finest of font easy without glasses and I'm 61 year's old baby please drink your veggies! Green smoothies are also very important but don't give up on V/8 also take V/8 ... Amazon has great deals on V/8. I get 11.5 ounce cans of V/8 for 50 cents a can on Amazon. com! God bless you and yours!
Also my son used read books and as you I never say no to a book. My stepfather had a book's shop and my son was always welcomed in it. Then the covid arrive in our lives and we were obliged to buy him a smartphone. He was twelve and he was the last one in his class to have it. Now he's therteen and I consider myself lucky if he still read manga ...where have I failed? Italian mom
I would be really interested in recovery from emotional hoarding and how you manage the habits of a lifetime and not buying too much stuff again. How do you change for life! Do you have a video on this already please?
Hey friend, I have a video diving into hoarding disorder tomorrow, in fact, and I DO have a video on minimalist shopping - remember this has been a long process for me. 🤗
Absolutely love 💕 you videos.. I’m prepping to move from a much too large home into a smaller apartment. At almost 71 I no longer need stuff . I started in 2020 and plan to sell my home in 2024 so I’ve given myself lots of time. I don’t have clutter but too much stuff as the home I felt needed stuff. I no longer have that need , I want simple. I love all these fabulous tips … Thanks 🙏🏽 so much ..🙏🏽
Amazon prime is a must for moms! I love the fast shipping and it saves me so much time by not having to go to the store! Also, books are so important to us too! We buy books and go to the library often! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I don't think it is the age of your house that decides if it has closets or not. Houses in many (Northern) European countries have no built-in storage. They're just empty rooms. :D
Mine too. I got it done when I was in my early twenties, had a baby at 32 and my eyes really changed. Still way better than before the surgery but it didn't hold.
@@professormustard75 darn those babies hahahaa jk! What’s funny though is my hubby got it and had 20/15 vision for a while. He was even bragging about it. But now he’s like worse than me at like 20/100 🤣🤣🤣
Me too. had lasik 15 years ago, about 6 years later My astigmatism came back so I’m back to wearing glasses, but got bad dry eye side effects and can’t even wear contacts.
@@Raec123 oh man!!!! Sorry to hear that! I was debating whether to get it again but I have to pay full price bc so much time has passed. I guess I wonder if I get it again would it just digress over time once more or would it work better this time since I’m done having babies lol
@@AtoZenLife i still buy myself or others books. I like to change out bedding or decor every few years since my style is eclectic and I like to switch like you would an art museum.
Amazon is a terrible company though. Not to hate on you, it's just that I think that if you care about the environment and human rights, you should not give them money. There are a lot of online book stores and environmental-friendly stores for "family goods" in Germany.
Why don't you just buy (or get for free from somebody who already has a billion of these- which is basically everybody) a few jute bags? They Last forever and if they don't they can be fixed easily. Plus they look way nicer

when i was nine, my mom got me a library card. o man i loved checking out books. we never could have afforded that many, i like to believe

I love turtle bags string bags, they take up no room are biodegradable- eventually because I have had them for years and they are as good as new xx
Get better quality reusable bags and prefer the natural fiber ones! These nylon things just end up as microplastics in soil and bodies of water.
New sub here! I have the same sofa - same color just the loveseat version. It was gifted to me brand new from a previous job.
I don't know if you will see this but invest in a Berkey water filter. The filters can last up to 10 years and the water is way purer than normal fridge and jug filters. It's also a gravity filter so no electricity etc needs to be used.
I hope she sees this, because I was going to say the same! We recently got a Berkey, and LOVE it. So much cheaper in the long run!

Try ICL procedure. It’s reversible. But doesn’t help dry eyes.
i love your bed!! may i ask where did you get it? also loving your videos! ive been listening to them as i declutter my space . ☺️
Maybe change the brand of your reusable bags? I've been using mine for years and never had issues with my bags. Jute bags are pretty good too.
I’m using cotton reusable ones washable fixable if needed the best
You could use bags made out of cotton. I like these ones in "DM" the moste..colorful an stabil.
And don't be afraid of the basic operation. 🤓

Lasik surgery was the best thing I have done. If you have insurance it may pay for part of it. Has saved me so much money on contacts and solutions. You can take meds to really relax you and it was no problem.

Have you ever tried hard lenses?
You have to clean it every after use and if you do so they will be okay for up to two years. They are compatible with dry eye, but you will feel it more. Have to get used to it 😅
Best one day lenses are the "Dailies Total 1" from Alcon.
An alternative to Lasik is set a lens into your eye.
But my opinion is, every surgery can bring complications. No replacement for eyes. If 10.000 will be fine and only one goes wrong - I will not be the one 🤔

Personally since 1986 I've had to pay for a new pair of glasses every year at a great expense to me because my eyes get worst and worst, but now that I drink V/8 my eyes are great! I can read the finest of font easy without glasses and I'm 61 year's old baby please drink your veggies! Green smoothies are also very important but don't give up on V/8 also take V/8 ... Amazon has great deals on V/8. I get 11.5 ounce cans of V/8 for 50 cents a can on Amazon. com!
God bless you and yours!
You need more omega 3 fats for your dry eye. I take a good quality krill oil. It saved my dry eyes. No eye medicine for me.
I have a Berkey water filter and love it. Tons cheaper than a Brita. Check it out.
Also my son used read books and as you I never say no to a book. My stepfather had a book's shop and my son was always welcomed in it. Then the covid arrive in our lives and we were obliged to buy him a smartphone. He was twelve and he was the last one in his class to have it. Now he's therteen and I consider myself lucky if he still read manga ...where have I failed? Italian mom
I would be really interested in recovery from emotional hoarding and how you manage the habits of a lifetime and not buying too much stuff again. How do you change for life! Do you have a video on this already please?
Hey friend, I have a video diving into hoarding disorder tomorrow, in fact, and I DO have a video on minimalist shopping - remember this has been a long process for me. 🤗

And 50 things I no longer buy...good luck! th-cam.com/video/Sj6u8qJ-TWU/w-d-xo.html
@@AtoZenLife I read your mind 🤣 thank you so much.
@@choppysocks Psychic! 🔮🤔😁
Absolutely love 💕 you videos..
I’m prepping to move from a much too large home into a smaller apartment. At almost 71 I no longer need stuff .
I started in 2020 and plan to sell my home in 2024 so I’ve given myself lots of time.
I don’t have clutter but too much stuff as the home I felt needed stuff.
I no longer have that need , I want simple.
I love all these fabulous tips …
Thanks 🙏🏽 so much ..🙏🏽
Amazon prime is a must for moms! I love the fast shipping and it saves me so much time by not having to go to the store! Also, books are so important to us too! We buy books and go to the library often! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Enjoying your videos. Please avoid saying “Oh my God” as a surprise expression. I have replaced it with a simple wow.
Fo you use the public library in Germany?
Hey! You sound different ( you sound younger). Also when did your hair grow so long! It suits you so well!
Oh wait! This is an older video 😅. Well you're still gorgeous but there was just a small difference!
I don't think it is the age of your house that decides if it has closets or not. Houses in many (Northern) European countries have no built-in storage. They're just empty rooms. :D
I did LASIK and it was great but then I had kids and now I’m 20/40 which is still good compared to being 20/400. Your Bad Hat parody was amazing.
Mine too. I got it done when I was in my early twenties, had a baby at 32 and my eyes really changed. Still way better than before the surgery but it didn't hold.
@@professormustard75 darn those babies hahahaa jk! What’s funny though is my hubby got it and had 20/15 vision for a while. He was even bragging about it. But now he’s like worse than me at like 20/100 🤣🤣🤣
Me too. had lasik 15 years ago, about 6 years later My astigmatism came back so I’m back to wearing glasses, but got bad dry eye side effects and can’t even wear contacts.
@@Raec123 oh man!!!! Sorry to hear that! I was debating whether to get it again but I have to pay full price bc so much time has passed. I guess I wonder if I get it again would it just digress over time once more or would it work better this time since I’m done having babies lol
I have the same list except number 6 and 9 that don't apply to me.
Anything fun NOT on the list you would like to add? 🤔
@@AtoZenLife i still buy myself or others books. I like to change out bedding or decor every few years since my style is eclectic and I like to switch like you would an art museum.
Try a Berkey water filter, even better 👏🤫🤣

Amazon is a terrible company though. Not to hate on you, it's just that I think that if you care about the environment and human rights, you should not give them money. There are a lot of online book stores and environmental-friendly stores for "family goods" in Germany.
If you have children & don't buy bulk supplies you're not frugal 💝
Why don't you just buy (or get for free from somebody who already has a billion of these- which is basically everybody) a few jute bags? They Last forever and if they don't they can be fixed easily. Plus they look way nicer
What the heck did you say about eyeballs?
We don't use Amazon
The video can be minimized by half going straight forward to 1,2,3 ...
Amazon is an awful wasteful corporation
Ditch Prime. Not a good thing for the planet.
And you still think 🤔, you are minimalist
