Reusable items may seem more expensive at the beginning but you soon will notice how much money you save and you will be amazed 😱 + less clutter
Add some white vinegar to your load of wash with the sponge. Extra sanitizing and a natural fabric softener!
I’m loving your content lately. ☺️
Thank you 💕
You are putting out such great stuff lately! Love seeing so many videos
Linette Arroyo sameeeeee
These are actually great ideas. I’ve already switched to reusable makeup removing pads and a microfiber mop that you can wash, I’m slowly but surely switching to reusable everything
I love all of the reusable things. I would suggest having separate cloths for napkins, or aka "paper towels" from your face, dusting, and other cleaning. Reducing paper products seems hard but it can be a lot easier in so many ways!
How did you fight the want to buy stuff when you started your journey to minimalism?
I'm obviously not Kyra, but I had to find other things to do with my time. I usually shopped out of boredom/stress, so I replaced shopping with better and FREE activities. Working out.. reading a book.. etc. My go to was always shopping, but I stopped making shopping a hobby and that helped a TON.
Charity knitting. I'm limited on space, so I only buy $25 worth of yarn for specific projects and on sale. Reading and audiobooks from the library is a good distraction. I listen and knit or clean.
I stopped going to Homegoods (my ultimate weakness 😂). Stop going to stores "just to browse". Opt out of texts/email/house mail services advertising stores' latest deals. Do other activities with your family and friends, than shopping. Watch lots of TH-cam vids on decluttering, minimalism, and saving money to keep up your motivation. Put together a vision board (mine is virtual on my computer) of the life that you want. If you mess up and buy something non-essential, just go back and return it the next day. I'm closing out my 3rd "no/very low spend" year next month. I've also been decluttering during this time. I'm not a minimalist yet...but it's because I was a borderline hoarder before...so I've actually come a very long way. It all just takes practice.
@@ModernMinimalistMom Yes, seriously. This helped me as well. I'm not a minimalist, but it really helped me get into a better habit with my budget and now I don't care about shopping other than wanting/planning to buy a few things here and there. I couldn't care less about clothes like I used to. I bought a used mountain bike, got it tuned up, and now I'm obsessed with biking instead.
I've had my white cloth shower liner for 10 years and it's still in beautiful condition: all white, no tears. I wash it at least once a month. I originally bought it for $25 at Bed Bath and Beyond. It was a random, unplanned buy that is continuing to pay off 👍

YESS to all of these! I just switched to a cotton shower curtain- I will never go back. We use tea and kitchen towels in my house as napkins too. We actually use just one during meals that everyone shares; my kids just wipe their fingers with them and sometimes their face. I don’t have a reusable sponge like you do. We use the natural loofah and ayate cloths to shower with; and when those are worn out I wash them, boil them and then use them to wash our dishes.when they get extra ratty then I compost them in my backyard. I also have a stainless steel scrubby for messier stuff. I’ve been wanting a silicone baking mat, that might be my next purchase, we’ll see.
I like how your content isn’t only about minimalism, you seem to be on the zero waste train too, I’m really enjoying it!
I use the reusable bamboo paper towels and the washable dish sponge!! Love them!! Love your videos, Kyra!! Thanks!!
All are such great ideas!! I have been super conscious of what non-usable items I use everyday since I saw your video haha. Will definitely be buying some of these items as I finish what will hopefully be the last round of non-reusable items I have - like paper napkins and dryer sheets! Thanks for sharing!!
So many amazing products I'll have to check out! Thank you for this helpful video as always Kyra!
Love this! Great video on being zero waste/low waste!
Absolutely love all your content!
Great ideas! I love the dryer balls. I’ve used them for years and love not having to buy dryer sheets anymore.
i also meant to say this earlier... but I've been searching for a video like this! there are so many "zero waste swaps for beginners" videos. I'm past beginners stage and i want to progress to like an "intermediate" level of zero waste if you know what i mean
I just ordered the sponges! So excited!
love seeing your generation so intuned and aware of the Environment
Love love love 💗 your videos! They literally make me better ☺️
Awww Thank you so glad you enjoy 💕
Been using cloth napkins for years.I buy the big pack of white washcloths for my cleaning cloths.And no fancy mop for me.I take my cleaning hand towels,clip one around a broom,and it works! Take off,and throw in wash.
My DH bought a big package of terry and microfiber shop rags at Harbor Freight and I use those for cleaning, too. I guess I can use them as face cloths, too.
finally got a 4 ocean bracelet ❤️ love your videos!!!
My bf and I use washcloths as napkins!! It’s so convenient
I crochet some washcloths and I love it. Thanks for the sponge idea. ❤️ and all your great ideas.
Johanna Kemp I got some crocheted mini wash cloths about the size of a scrubbie from the thrift store and I LOVE them. They look like miniature washcloths but they are so much easier to hand wash dishes with than a big regular sized washcloth.
Small crocheted rounds are good for removing makeup as well ☺
I love your videos!
I bought those cupcake liners at a garage sale once. Found out why they were selling them. They are sooooooo hard to clean after baking cupcakes or muffins in them. You have to flip each one inside out and scrub in the grooves really well for each. And if you make a batch, well, that’s 12 times of doing that. Instead, just forgo the liners for cupcakes and muffins and oil the cups in the pan instead. It’ll be fine, I promise.
I found the silicone reusable liners work really well for bento type lunches though! Put dry things like pretzels, raisins, grapes, etc in a cup that you don’t want to touch your other food and it fits really well! Then just rinse or wipe out to clean.
These are great ideas!
Ok I love reusable items too great video I have that k cup filter and baking sheets already love them!! I also got the dryer balls u recommend I’m really looking at getting reusable produce mesh bags because I just hate the little plastics everywhere around the house. Im in California so I use reusable grocery bags not only because they charge but since those bags were all over the house. However I’m not happy that they still will sell u the plastic bags and they’re are very thick plastic so it can be “ reusable” totally defeats the purpose. I know so many ppl who just pay for bags every shopping trip☹️so much for plastic bag ban ugh
I love all of these idea's! We follow most of them but I would love to try the bamboo paper towels, face cloth (mine is too rough) and the notebook. If you do get the notebook please tell us how well you like it. I love listening to you! I miss the east coast!
You can get those exact same dryer balls at the Dollar Tree. That's where I got mine and you get 2 of them for a buck. The way I don't forget my reusable bags is once I put up my groceries I put the bags by my front door to put them in my trunk when I leave.
I’ve been waiting for a video all week 😂
Yea I have been struggling with uploads since TH-cam was giving me a hard time lol it’s like nothing would go live , but finally it’s working now 🙌🏼
Your doing good. I’ve just started my minimalist journey and you motivate me thank you🖤
i have some tennis balls i rarely use so i started using them in the dryer!
@@user-sq1gk3fr4i OH MY. THANKS FOR TELLING ME
You inspired me to get the bracelet from 4ocean! It's good to know I'll be helping the ocean! Thanks for sharing :D
Yayyy 💚🌊 no problem hun
My husband is an engineer and has to take a lot of notes for work and loves his notebook I got him a couple years back! it has a app that you can scan the page and it transfers everything to your computer after it’s erased:)
Love!
We love long videos from you ☺️
Your channel is really great
Use foil and make them into balls to reduce static from your drier x (about 3)
my country banned plastic bags at stores, since the new year you can only buy bio-degradable bags at the register but even though they are cheap, people don’t want to buy them and I am sooo happy to se that 9/10 people bring their own bags😍 now they are also starting to sell reusable bags next to fruit/vegetables and many people don’t take the small plastic bags!! I bought bags for produce made from old curtains and they are so handy and nice-looking😄 yesterday I was in a shop near me that is completley plastic-free, you have to bring your own containers if you want pasta, legumes, shampoo, soap.. I am doing as much as I can even though I’m a student on a budget😄💪🏼
What do you do for trash bags?
My walmart started giving out reusable bags for free :) Target also sells reusable bags now
Love the video always helpful 😁
How do you go about shaving like your legs? If you do shave, I’m tired of using the plastic razors
I wax
CandyCandy like the hard wax?
I used those kinds notebooks for work. Its not too bad.
What do you use for a reusable razor? Thanks!
Safety razors work great 😁
What camera do you use?
Wool balls they work too

Great video. I use the note pad on my phone. Download for free
Did you purchase the notebook, interested in knowing if it works?
What about detergent
where do you buy your clothes from?!? as i get older i am noticing i go for brands w no names/logos on them too!
I normally shop at tj maxx or thred up, Ive recently been looking at fashion nova ( normal clothes not the crazy fast fashion stuff) clothes and they seem really nice.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing.
In my city they stopped using plastic bags a couple years ago, thankfully where I am, people love to do things to save the planet ☺️.
get a clear vinyl shower curtain and then put a pretty one on the outside
Noooo essential oils can catch fire in the dryer. Wastefreephd on the gram ( not affiliated just follow the acct) has a post on essential oils. I’ve been looking for better shower curtains; thx for the link! I have reusable straws, steel water and coffee cups, bags (they started charging for the new thick plastic ones and they are awful) and I’ve been trying to use more cotton cloths instead of polyester to avoid the micro plastic thing. But then cotton takes a toll on the environment... sigh. Trying to do the best I can :)
Those reusable sponges are actually dryer safe btw they will not catch on fire :)
Oh yes I figured that out years ago 😅 I still have those same sponges till this day.
Do you wash the sponge with your clothes?
I wash mine with clothes or towels, its never effected anything.
Can you please do a tech gadgets video. All the technology you use and how you benefit from it. I have an Apple Watch but recently I stop wearing it.. I just feel like it’s to distracting
A keurig is for the person who drinks 2 cups a day. Buying in bulk is cheaper.
Why would the sponge catch on fire if put in dryer!?
the material seems like It would be easy to catch on fire so I guess I'm kind of paranoid lol. also I feel like it'll last longer if I let it air dry.
Also they seem to shrink and bunch in funny places and then be forever wonky and lumpy if you put them in the dryer
Paper is a renewable resource. In America, paper companies plant and harvest trees just like farmers plant and harvest corn and lettuce.
Paper is also biodegradable.
I use paper towels AND toilet paper. 😉
