  • Things I only own ONE of » MINIMALISM & Simple Living // Hey everyone! Let's sit back and enjoy a new minimalism video. :) In this one, I share an update on the "Things I only own one of" video I made about one year ago.
    When it comes to the things I only have one of, things have definitely changed. Some things I now have more of, some things I have a different one, and some things I've decluttered altogether. That's one of the best things about minimalist living, if you ask me. That we can use it and apply the tools of simplifying and decluttering in any phase of life. :)
    What are some things you only own one of?
    Lots of love,
    🌼 Vera

I can wear it backpacking in the wilderness or in the city. The bag is an Osprey a lifetime warranty, I just sent it in for repair and they repaired it for me so we can continue to travel together.

So I'm back:) Sometimes we get too ruthless in our decluttering, letting go of things we find value in, just to own less and in this case, free up more time. But I find that your tips add value to my life, so I will continue to enjoy tuning in!

    I’m a curly girl too and I actually hated the Denmen brush too so I decluttered it! Finding good curly/wavy hair products is so tough I’ve fallen into the trap of buying recommended products and I just find my hair is just not like the average and I have to be careful not to waste my money- same thing with diffusers they don’t work for me! Anyway I loved this video and over the last year you’ve helped me minimize my home and create more space for things that really matter like focusing on my three kids, moving slower and intentionally, having less social media and digital clutter and being more sustainable! Thanks so much for all the great content!

      Kathleen Hill , sorry to hear about your Mom. If you don’t know what to do with your Moms jewelry, there are so many things you can do. I wrap bracelets around my plant containers and hang necklaces around bottles or candlestick holders. My Aunt decorated a small Christmas tree in her Moms jewelry or I have seen inside wreaths decorated with jewelry. People don’t always see when you do that but you do. People are surprised when they actually look around because its not adding one more thing but adding something to what I already have. Take care and be safe out there!

It's known as Raw Sugar Lip Balm and there are a few scents; my personal favorite is Coconut Mango. It feels lightweight, moisturizing, and I've never noticed any unpleasant traits about it. Hope this helps!

    Things I would love to learn how to declutter but because I looove them, it's hard to know what to do: bags/purses/backpacks. I love these and find it really hard to let go of them. (By the way, I LOVE your pinks backpack and purse!!) Notebooks are another difficult category because I absolutely love notebooks and nail polish is the third thing I find hard to declutter.
    This video gave me real food for thought and there are some categories I know how to work on now. The three difficult ones will have to wait unless you have some good tips for me... Thank you for the video :D

    Thinking on it, I have multiples of just about everything, but fewer of them. Someday I will be able to declutter drastically when the items become unloved clutter. When the time is right, I will act accordingly, but learning and time are the keys to the process. Rushing in before I'm ready will only lead to set-backs, I know. Thanks for being part of the equation.

    12:03 *whisper* you can even turn the little purse into a wallet to carry in your big bag as needed, and then just snatch it out if you need to go light! Just keep the important everyday stuff in the little one.
    I use this hack sometimes for little purses like that, especially if the big bag has a handy inner pocket for it 🤩

    We are a South African family and public transport is not easily accessible. We used to own to cars (small hatchbacks) and have recently traded these in on one family car that comfortably meets the needs of my family of 6. I also only own one small wallet (in South Africa we call it a purse) and one backpack. Since watching your video last year, I have also decluttered down to one vase, one pair of boots (we only have 4 months of winter anyway), one winter coat and now on a plight to reduce the number of bottles of perfume that I have. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming : )

    I really enjoy watching this type of thing because it helps me validate everything I currently own! Thanks Vera! Why do we need to own multiples of things anyway when the world is so quick in delivering you new products? Also questions the quality and care of the products you have - maybe you keep replacing them because you're not looking after it or it's poorly made? Love how thought provoking this type of video is.

    Hi Vera! A tip from someone with wavy/curly hair, you don't need a brush. I own one comb (a feather rake comb) to brush my hair after I've washed it and that is it. I don't bring the comb close to my hair once it's dry - I would only brush my fingers through my hair when I get up in the morning. Love your videos.

    • @SimpleHappyZen
      @SimpleHappyZen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks so much! :) I think I'll get a wide tooth comb.. right now I brush my hair with a detangling brush when it's wet (in between the steps of rinsing out hairmask and applying condtioner), and I don't brush it again until I wash it again. But still, my hair gets really tangly really fast.. Maybe that's also because I haven't been able to get a haircut in so long haha.

    I don't think I own "only one" of anything but I am working my way to significantly reduced the amount of stuff I have. I have done a decent job on clothes and shoes. This year I am focusing on beauty products with the objective of not buying anything until I am out. I have soo many extras of lotion, make up, moiturizer etc etc that I probably won't need to buy a single thing for months. It is working so far and I am enjoying it. I like watching your videos for inspiration, not that I aspire to have only one of anything but to simplify my life in a meaninful way.

    I just wanted to add a little side note to the blanket topic. I'm a knitter, and I know many vegans don't use wool. I think it's important to know, though, that shearing sheep is extremely important, otherwise, they would suffer more easily from bacterial infections, which can be dangerous for them. If the shearing process is done correctly, the sheep doesn't suffer. Clearly, I'm not talking about the mulesing process (which is deprecable), nor about intensive animal farming.
    The topic is huge and I'm not here to preach, nor convince anyone. I just wanted to give a different point of view about the material, which, if sourced and chosen consciously, can be a precious resource.
    This video is really inspiring :)

    Hey Vera, thanks for your work, I really enjoy it a lot. I wanted to share a recent discovery regarding lip balm. I don't have one any more because I use the same oil I use for my face (jojoba)! I put it in the morning and the evening during my face cleaning /hydrating routine, and don't need to put any during the day. I drink a lot of water (this helps). So no need for lip balm anymore, but still have a great way to replace it without buying one. Hope this works for you or someone in your community. Have a nice day!

    Hello new to your channel. I'm not new to minimalism oh, I just called his poverty LOL. That doesn't mean I didn't have a lot of clutter. I have a funny story when my partner moved in 14 years ago he couldn't believe that I only had one spoon.. I left alone, so I told him I didn't need more than one. But he, was brought up in a family of excess stuff. The only thing I would change about your having one of everything would be the notebook. I'm a writer and I need multiple notebooks for different things. One for my writing, one for my TH-cam channel that I started on my 70th birthday by the way and 1 just because I like them.
