- it's time for another in and out video! I traveled a lot in August and didn't read as much. And after pricing minimalism and underconsumption for many years I am surprised how much still changes about my stuff every month. I also talk about the books I read and linked their good reads pages here for you:

I read “ we should all be feminists” too and I like it a lot.
I completely agree about the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo! I saw it in stores many times and wasn’t intrigued at all until a friend recommended it and I really enjoyed it!
Love your 'in and out' videos!
Just wanted to say that I appreciate you talking about what books you're reading/have read. I have ended up reading a lot more books because of you! I plan to check out It Ain't Over Til the Bisexual Speaks because it sounds really interesting 😄
You've convinced me to read the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. The title also made me hesitant, despite everyone recommending it. Happy belated birthday!
I agree i hate that underwear doesnt last long. Its hard to find comfy ones. Sometimes sucks being a woman, i wear 1 in day and 1 in night often.
That photo of you diving in Switzerland is brilliant!
I think how one wears clothes matters. I have been wearing the same clothes for many years and none have holes or are ripped. Just go easy on them and you would be pleasantly surprised. 😊
Generally yes, but how can I go easy on clothes?? Like yes, I should not rip them on thorns and slide down hills on my butt but other than that I could just move less and that is not really a solution...
@@ecofriendlia Thank you for your response, and there is no easy answer on "how to go easy on clothes" because I don't know your lifestyle. Speaking for myself, I go running every other day and I wear gym clothes. Once I am done, I wear normal clothes just like everyone else. Washing does cause wear and tear and I only use washing machine for large pieces. I hand-wash some and I don't wring them, just squeeze and then put on hangers. Other than that, I have no secret. Some of my clothes are more than ten years old and are still in great condition.:)
Just when I think I have nothing more to declutter, I still find more stuff lol. I found a lot more to get rid of both physically and electronically this month
Garments should last Three years for Adults.
Unfortunately most of us want new garments every season. We have huge collections of seasonal clothing. That we wear sometimes only once .
Maybe if we had an all year collection that we could layer up and down. Dress up and down it wouldn’t be so bad .
I don't know if Pansy Co ships to Germany (or if they'd be your style) but I've had two pairs of their briefs since 2018 and they are still going strong. When they do finally die, they're fully compostable.
Funny you should say two years. I just discovered holes and fabric thinning in my two years old jeans. I think it’s totally acceptable!
I’m surprised you did not use the bag & Upcycle ♻️ it for cleaning rags😊
Sometimes tote bag material is too rough/water resistant for that reuse.
Plus we just have more than enough cleaning rags. But just so you know: I always collect all the fabric and clothes stuff that can't be used anymore and keep it in my apartment for a while and sometimes if I have an idea or just need a piece of fabric to clean or to upcycle I get it from this pile of "trash" 😊 so I always reuse as much as I can use and try to recycle the rest which is harder than it should be for fabric...
I also have been decluttering - some clothes I no longer wear so best to donate to charity 🙂
Lia, you look a little tired (I feel it myself just now, many stresses going on for me) I hope you can relax into your everyday life
Poor book, it was stabbed! A cabin in the mountains? That sounds amaizing 🤩 I got rid of a few books i'm never going to read again and some t-shirts in bad condition. I am already getting in the no-spending mood for my next trip. I need to remind myself "stop buying crap" (and by crap I mean useless souveniers)
Oh I personally don't find Decathlon to have really shit products! I really really like some of their stuff. I find that its good quality for the price, for certain products (like not socks, and not their entry level cheapest stuff. But the middle/high range). Of course I live in France, so everything I want to buy from them I have easily found on Vinted, maybe if I bought it new I would feel like the price/quality wasn't worth it. But I have an expensive lightweight puffy coat, and a decathlon mt 100 puffy coat, and the decathlon one is warmer and more durable and i have worn it on all my hiking trips.
I own underwear from Schiesser for more than 5 years or longer (I can't even remember). I highly recommend this brand.
Yay. I love these.
My undies last for an extremely long time.
They are from Victoria's Secret, made in Sri Lanka, and most were gifted to me. I have way too many, because they last so long. Lol
Hi ! About Decathlon, i totally agree that it's not a sustainable option...! They do have amazing customer service though, so i'm pretty sure you can return it if you're not happy with it :)
I got a passion for camping/hiking gear and i guess that thermarest is probably the best option as it's made in the EU and you have a life warranty. Also, i guess you know but when it's hot you have to deflate your matress during the day so it doesn't expload.
Also, i feel sorry for you about the pants...you don't seem that emotional, personnally i always regret a piece of clothing that was just perfect uniform for me.
Have a good week ! thank you so much for your work.
Yes, we always deflate the mattress during the day because it has happened too often 😩 but this time, that wasn't enough I guess and it wasn't a Thermarest mattress. We have some Thermarest mattresses though, and are glad they have a life long warranty. But the ones we zave sadly take up so much space.
I think I wasn't too emotional because I have seen it coming for a few months now that the pants will have a hole soon but I agree, it's pretty sad because it is so hard to find these "perfect" pieces 😊
Love you in/out videos. Thank you. Do you mind me asking who recommended Evelyn Hugo as I loved that and would like to hear more of their recommendations. Thank you.
I think it was @jack_edwards like 90% sure and I usually love his recommendations
I’ve found that “men’s” underwear are much better constructed ☺️
I love your channel and your perspective !!
always a great inspiration
This is the first video I watched from you. Curious; you like books but isn’t a reader an option? Taking less space etc. Lot to choose from.
I have one! My partner is using it at the moment and I just use both, physical books and ebooks 😊
I love physical books… honestly there’s a difference.
Try washing underwear in a delicate cycle or hand wash and they will last for a very long time
Thank you, I need to do this.
the hole through the book was likely to hang it up for display.
The hole in the book😅 somebody was angry with literature😊
Ich hab mir impulsiv einen Laptop gekauft und das war eine sehr gute Entscheidung. Hatte nur ein Chromebook und hab jetzt Microsoft und kann jetzt meine Bachelorarbeit schreiben. Das Chromebook kann vieles nicht, vor allem viele Programme und auch Office nur reduziert
Wear Jockey underwear (Elance briefs) and usually get 5+ years.
Have you thought turning your pants into a bag?
I'll think about it! 😊
Instead of “routine” I try to put it in a possibly positive frame by calling them Rituals.
Alway enjoy your posts. TY🩵
I love this! That totally reframes it for me and sounds much more like self care and self love
