Hi guys, I'm Eileen. In this video, I shared about how luxury minimalism and low buy have changed my life. I used to think happiness was about visiting Chanel, scoring an Hermes bag, or getting a Cartier bracelet. After embracing minimalism, I find joy in the simplest things in life. Just a little disclaimer, this video isn't meant to propose anti haul. Although I've done a no buy year (2020), I still enjoy luxury items. Having said that, I'm now a lot less obsessed with chasing after the next thing on my wish list. In fact, I have a long list of things I no longer buy 😄 If you're new to minimalism, please join me on the path of wanting less, you'll never look back xx

Thank you for watching this video about how luxury minimalism and low buy (it's pretty close to no buy for me now) have changed my life for the better. My happiness no longer relies on a trip to Dior, a bag from Chanel or any designer hauls. I am truly happier and more fulfilled xx
I did a high buy year in 2020 and it gave me multiple LV bags and not an ounce of added happiness. In fact it gave me a heaviness feeling. I sold 70% of my LV bags this year and haven't bought a new bag. My closet is emptier but my being is happier. Thanks for the wisdom.
I'm so happy for you, Gary! Less stuff, more happiness for sure xx
I did the same thing with Chanel. Sold recent acquisitions from boutique and paid off my high end SUV, instead. Over it.
As we ages and circumstances becomes different, couples' love language for each other changes. Spending quality time with family is of priority to me than any hermes bag xoxo
Thank you for another great video, Eileen ♥️. I agree with you and I also try to minimize shopping, but sometimes I can’t help wanting to buy and it’s really hard to stay strong. This year I managed to cancel all my credit cards and get debt free in March, and that was a real game changer for me. Plastic money was so easy to use! I sometimes ended up paying four digits credit card bills by the end of the month, and that needed to stop. I now buy much more intentionally, seeing my money go away at the very moment I decide to buy something, and I no longer owe any money to my bank, which for me means freedom. I have also opened a separate savings account. But sometimes I feel in the need of new clothes or shoes and I don’t know how to stay stronger and not obsess over it. I panic with the idea of Black Friday and Christmas excitement to push me to the dark zone and spend thousands and kill my savings 😥. Could you maybe do a video with tips to skip this kind of feeling? I would love to hear your thoughts on how to avoid temptations in such a hard time of the year. Thank you and have a lovely week! 😘😘
Thank you for the suggestion! I'l definitely look into it xx
Such a good point! I recently went to Paris for a long weekend and after half a day of shopping, in lines, got a wake up call. I was in Paris and in a shop I could be anywhere in the world, while I could instead enjoy the city and people. Like you, I have decided to cut out shopping while travelling.
Love that! xx
You are really a breath of fresh air, Eileen. We are bombarded with luxury hauls that sometimes it does not just make sense. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much, Frances xx
When you spoke about all those stuff about buying stuff overseas, expecting your husband to buy you an expensive present during special occasions and so much more, this described me to a T!! I’m going to slowly control my spending on 2022!! Thanks for pointing this out to us!!
I'm so glad you found inspirations from my video! Wishing you a successful low buy year in 2022 xx
This is such a breath of fresh air Eileen. We are bombarded with so much on social media that encourages us to spend and buy more and more. It's is so easy to go down that road. I appreciate your voice reminding us that less is more -- really, how many designer bags do we really need? Wonderful video as always.
Thank you so much! xx
As humans we were never designed to be materialistic. In fact, our souls need human interactions and experiences that trigger all our 7 senses. That’s why people with “things” are never happy, and they keep chasing the next thing, hoping to fulfill that emptiness that only another human can provide. Materialism only masks the emptiness and loneliness one is experiencing. If one shops because of boredom, then you need a hobby, preferably one with people. We have all fallen into these bad habits, but identify what is missing and look to fill that void vs buying things and chasing that high of buying. The last 2 years has taught me more about myself then the last 25 have.
The best things in life are often free xx
I’m so tired of TH-cam and Instagram bloggers setting unrealistic expectations of how many luxury purchases one should make, all those unboxings and hauls just create FOMO and hype around products, just like the price increases. Also it almost seems like luxury fashion became fast fashion, every week/month there are new releases, constantly looking for the next best thing… so tired of keeping up with this broken fashion system. I just wonder when the blogger has a collection of 30+ bags, when does she have time to actually get the use out of them? It’s not possible to properly review an item, if you have been wearing it just for a few days. I have 10 bags right now in my wardrobe and I’m already so overwhelmed of switching between the bags and figuring out how to use all of them, so this is why I’m downsizing my collection and giving some bags I no longer want to wear to my mom and sis… but these bloggers just have all these expensive items collecting dust on their shelves…
Also I noticed that most of the bags I like to own are not the ones that are trendy at all or that have been influenced somehow by a blogger… most of the luxury bags I own are out of the radar of these so-called fashion bloggers, there are few reviews on them if any, I mostly enjoy the functionality of the bag and its design, rather than falling into the “fashion victim” trap of buying something that everybody “needs” to have
I have been enjoying your videos and happy to see you becoming a luxury minimalist. You should be so proud of yourself. Could I please suggest that when your video is sponsored, it might be a good idea to make your disclosure upfront instead of midway like this very one. I hope you don't see this suggestion offensive. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips! I will consider taking that on board for sure, I just though it'd flow better if I introduced the brand into my talking point seeing they were relevant xx
Low Buy also allowed me to learning about actually investing which for me is way more fun. After 2 years of this I discovered i could afford multiple mini vacations and by summer 2022 We will be heading for the Maldives effortlessly. My bucket list is being truly met all from not mindlessly shopping for things I would be bored with within weeks. Experience achieved comfortably trumps things.
This year I’ve actually went to my husband and ask him to show me how to invest. I sold a bunch of bags in 2019-2020 and just had the funds sitting there. The results have been amazing.
I can relate! When I slowed down on shopping, that's why I really took the time to look into other areas, like investing and learning xx
@@tippytoe1250 a woman after my own heart. I started small with a platform in Canada called Wealth Simple Trade and being long term minded hold my stocks etc accordingly. Now I am about paying attention to companies and economic shifts. Start small and you would be amazed over time how that snowball compounds itself by bring consistent whilst having a solid portfolio. More power to you.
I like how open and realistic you are. You admit your faults and what you have learned along the way I love that you don't seem fake. It's a calm channel SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you for your support! xx
OMG, thank you so much for sharing this. While watching the video, all my bad shopping habits and impulse purchased instantly played back in my head! Really needed this. This will be a great MOVE for me for the year 2022 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad I could help! Wishing you a successful low buy in 2022 xx
I have never heard of "Low Buy" or "Low Buy Challenge" before. This is all new to me. But I agree, precious jewelry far supersedes custom jewelry. One thing I've always done was to purchase for longevity. I do Not enjoy buying things over & over. Wishing you the Very Best in your 2022 adventure with SkillShare... you'll be Amazing.🌻
Aww that really means a lot, thank you! It's quire nerve wracking for me to embark on this new adventure but I'm looking forward to it xx
Thank you for your videos. It’s really helping me with my journey to luxury minimalism. My friends and I are actually planning on having a no spend months in January-February 2022.
Wishing you a smooth no-buy year! xx
I am starting to appreciate this philosophy too. Thanks for sharing, Eileen. ❤️
Thanks for watching! Minimalism has been so life changing for me, i hope it does the same for you too xx
I went through decluttering my luxury items in 2018, basically sold 70% of my bags & SLGs. It's been so easy to maintain. I have a 1 bag a year rule, but I haven't purchased for many years now, it's not even a thing I think about anymore. Clears up a lot of physical and mental space for me.
That's one serious decluttering! Kudos to you xx
Thanks for sharing 😌. I believe the trick to a more minimal or minimalist life is to 1. Be confident in yourself and 2. Each piece you own sparks joy and/or has a function and home.
Absolutely!! Thanks for sharing xx
It is always rewarding watching your videos.
Thank you so much, Renee xx
Hi Eileen, just to share that my best friend and I have decided not to buy any gifts for each other on Xmas and bday. This decision came about as she recently quit her job due to overstrain on eyes (side effect fm over work) and hence diagnosis with glaucoma, hbp and anxiety. Then she also realised that once she slow down, she realised she already have so much and there is really no need to continue to buy. Thus breaking the cycle of long hrs of work, stress with work, shop shop shop, work again.
I’m going to go on a No Buy Challenge on 2022. I think it will be a breeze!
I'm sure you'll nail it xx
I absolutely love your channel. I’m not a minimalist, but I’ve started declutter in my life big general, and I’ve jumped on the low buy bandwagon this year. I’m looking for to the outcome.
Love that!xx
I totally agree with you buying Apple desktop, our back and neck are 100% first priorities. My best purchase in 2021 is new expensive matress which cost four times more than the one I had before, and not one second I regret buying it. My back and neck when I wake up morning never better!
We splurged on a fantastic mattress as well-- it's truly one of the best investments xx
I had a laugh when you spoke about having to send stuff home when you were on holiday. I have to do that all the time as I am passionate about history and everywhere I go I manage to collect piles of books from museums, palaces and other historical sites and they get very heavy and have to be posted home several times. Then when I return to those places decades later they have a whole gift shop full of new ones that I can’t resist.
This is like a real life confession of the shopaholic. I can totally relate 💕💕💕
Love your shirt, suits u a lot!
Great Channel! I just found your Channel today and I absolutely love it!
Thank you, Cynthia ! Glad you enjoy my content xx
I would love to see what books you've read!
I'm definitely going to make a video about this! Recently I've finished the Kaizen by Sarah Harvey and am reading Think Like A Monk by Jay Shetty xx
Thank you for this interesting insight! What I would like to know is, if you would buy all your Hermes pieces (handbags in particular) again or would you rather buy from a reseller. Because you have to pre-spend quite a lot to be offered a bag. What to think about it?
Hi Nadja, I think I would still buy from the Hermes store seeing I do enjoy their other pieces xx
Great video! I did a no buy for a few months, and it completely changes the way you look at things and consuming material goods. I really like your message of intentionalism in general. You're a breath of fresh air in this hyper-consumption world.
I'm a minimalist myself, and love to only purchase things that are extremely high quality (yay to Cashmere sweaters! I personally love my Merino ones.) and will last me a very long time.
Thanks for sharing! One of the best things about doing YT videos is to meet people who are like-minded xx
I plan on doing a low buy year in 2022. I have not been too bad this year but I have slipped up with makeup and perfume this year. I have enough fragrances even though it is always tempting to get a new scent. I need to use the perfumes I have. I am focused on saving up for travel. Your hair looks beautiful 💖
I’m with you on the perfumes 😓 how many do you have if you don’t mind me asking ?
I used to love perfume too but I'm now done to Hermes Twilly and Chloe xx
@@NavadineAntoinette I have seven perfumes. 😔
@@ColourfulNoir only two perfumes wow ! Eileen ? I really feel you’d love Kayali’s Musk or Dejavu white flower 👀🤭 based on the scents you have - and you’re personality , they’re so soft and beautiful (vanilla is beautiful also) and you can get beautiful little 10ml samples for £23 so you don’t feel overwhelmed and are not spending a lot on a huge bottle 💕
@@Lifeisbeautiful-ri2tb only seven ? 👀🤭
I have 38 😓😩 and I love them all 🥺 and this is after getting rid of some (maybe 20)🤭
Total agree with you non each point!
Thank you xx
I share the same value, to buy good quality products, that last longer and look classic. Most mid tier brands now offered clothes of low quality fabric that has short live span, we throw these after 1 year. It is not environmentally friendly. Quite disappointing.
I always enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing.😊
Thank you for always showing up xx
What surprises me is there are still youtubers vlogging designer luxury hauls when we are experiencing INFLATION. They seem unaffected by the cost of living.
I agree, or snapping multiple Chanel or other designer bags before another price increase as if these are Zara bags and not items that cost several thousands of $…
This is how they get paid.
I love your videos. I think luxury minimalism is far better than the conspicuous consumption we see so much of on social media.
One thing I’m curious about in your videos though is your use of background music. Is it something TH-cam is adding or are you able to control it? I’m not sure why my ears seem to hyper focus on it in your most recent videos.lol!
Thank you so much for mentioning! I added the music while editing so it's not possible to remove on YT now, but I'll make sure to lower the volume for future videos xx
@@ColourfulNoir I really may be the only person that hears it. So, as much as I would appreciate it being lower please do what makes you happy! :) Your music is not as loud as another person I follow...I think her music is relatively new so I was becoming curious to learn if TH-cam was adding it somehow.
I love all your points all true shopping suction the most time from family.
It definitely takes up a lot more time than I realised xx
Fantastic platform
I absolutely loved this video and your message that time with loved ones is much more special and important than materialistic things. You have such a wonderful peaceful aura about you. I'm a big reader too. I'm always reading at least 2 books at one time.
Thank you so much, Wendy! xx
Thank you for sharing this video! Very inspiring. Love your top by the way.
Thank you so much! xx
Right on, Eileen!
Trying this!
I'm sure you'll nail it xx
@@ColourfulNoir thank you, Eileen xx
Thank you such a wonderful example you are! ❤
Thank you for your support xx
Isac is adorable!!! ❤
Aww thank you! He's really a little sweetheart of mine xx
As I get older, I don’t need as much. Thanks for sharing my lady. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy
You teaching in Skillshare--how exciting!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this video, I love it!
Your son is so cute!!!😊
I agree about buying fine jewelry (diamond, real gold & sterling silver) rather than designer jewelry and buying quality non-designer items. I keep telling myself to low buy for 2022, but I still have a few more items on my wishlist 🙈.
I'm sure you'll nail your low-buy! Sending you a lot of positive energy xx
What you are sharing is aligned with saving Earth's resource, I hope more people embrace minimalism to reduce wastage and exploiting our natural resources.
I've just finished watching the new film Finch, it really makes you think how our planet is so precious and it deserves more care and love xx
