"We are all essentially looking for the same things and that is to live a more simple and happier life" Love this line that you say at the beginning... ❤
no matter who we are or where we are from, I think that's truly our commonality right? : ) thanks Patricia!!
🌿 Although I am not a traditional minimalist I utilize minimalist philosophies in my own life.
You said it so well! I feel exactly the same. I think we place too much importance on how a minimalist lifestyle "should" look instead of the philosophy itself.

When we die we don't take with us not even our own body...so why stress about material things? I think the right balance is achieved when we stop stressing or worrying about material things. Hence, a functional minimalism that would work for everyone. Such a relaxing and on point video. Mahalo!
Mahalo for watching ❤
Thank you for this video! Recently we had to sell my childhood home, which I've always been emotionally attached to it. It seems like selling away part of my childhood. But my mother was wise enough to remind me that everything is just a temporary gift to us, they don't belong to us, what's important is the experience and the present.
I can imagine how tough that is! but your mom is so right. It is the memories in that home you will keep forever
So amazing to hear someone talk about the middle way! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 😊 I think more than ever the concept of middle way is needed in our lives. Aw thanks for the comment!
By the way, Sophie! Your videos are very well produced! Beautiful and engaging. A pleasure to watch!
Thank you so much Walter. I am learning videography and storytelling, so your words are definitely encouraging. I hope to get better for future videos!

Well, Sophie, I think you’re doing a great job of applying what you’re learning ... yet, I suspect your own natural talent (and presence) is what makes your work shine! ☀️
Thank you so much, Sophie. I start almost every my morning with your video. It makes me full and more calm. 10 minutes with you help me to remember my one rhythm. Watching your video I always send you thanks from my heart 💚
Thank you so much Galya 🥰 I appreciate you so much.
This is so inspiring and thought provoking! I love this concept of practicing minimalism with moderation. I have been trying to adapt this mindset too and have saved a lot of money doing it! thank you for another great video Sophie
Thanks Katie! I'm not an extreme person so I love the concept of practicing minimalist habits in moderation. I'm so glad you liked the video :)
Nice video. I am drawn to both minimalism and Buddhism in similar ways you mentioned. Even when I read other content I always come back to buddhism some how. The idea of peace with oneself is comforting.
Couldn't agree with you more. Buddhism emphasizes cultivating a mindset of letting go to be in peace with oneself and I am so drawn to this idea. Thank you for your kind comment :)
I'm in love watching your videos as I want to pass through my life with slow living, peaceful mind and calmness which is exactly the same that you are currently living in Maui. I wanna visit Hawaii one day to feel the true nature of our beautiful land. I will live simply and act simply with peaceful mind. Thank you so much for the videos. It's been a huge blessing for me to have a chance to watch your videos in this crisis time. Please upload more Sophie.
Thank you so much for watching🥰 and for supporting my channel. I hope that you will visit Hawaii one day. To wake up with the sound of the birds and to have abundant nature as my surroundings has been a blessing :) I am happy to share through my videos.
I am also drawn to buddhism the moment I learned about it and when I started to travel to countries who practice and believe this. This indeed help me in my well being and mindset.
I always felt drawn to Buddhism. Such a humble and peaceful view on life 🥰 thanks for watching.
Science and Magic, one is about complicating stuffs with logic while the other is mainly about simplifying things with emotions. I tried to put some Magic in my life, and 95% of my stressful headaches vanish unlike some mechanical equations I have put in life. By the way, the color White represents Simplicity and symbolizes for Purity. Maximally and minimally, I need my life to be as simple as possible, the simpler the better. Thank you a lot, Sophie♥️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Definitely not alone 👍❤
Hi Sophie ,
Just want to thank you for your beautiful spirit! You have help me to look at life a lot more different. Keep up your videos i need them. God bless 💞🥰💞
🇬🇧 I’m into Buddhism too, I’ve been to Thailand twice now (beautiful place and people) my one goal out there was to get blessed by a monk and I achieved that, after three years I still have the sacred thread around my wrist. I find the way of life so interesting and also have become a vegetarian. I have lots of buddhas around my home, I find them so calming.
Please do more videos on Buddhism. x
I would love to in the future! My grandmother was a devote Buddhist and I learned so much from her. Her philosophy and way of life was admirable. What a wonderful experience you had in Thailand. I'm sure it is unforgettable.
i found wabi sabi some years ago--and was happy to see i felt and lived (or was learning) that it was ok to be flawed--and imperfect--i have never been interested in a perfect anything---thanks that i found you and your view of acceptance--deatra
:)
Frugality: match price with value
Cheap: everything is overpriced!
I love this :) yes there is a HUGE different between being frugal and cheap. I'm definitely willing to pay for value.
@@MalamaLife channel looks great! Im jealous of you being in hawaii lol
@@samspraguefinanceformula3519 Thank you so much!! I'm happy to share some of Hawaii's gem through YT lol
@@MalamaLife please do lol
This was special. Great editing
and superb footage. Thanks.
You are so amazing! I really appreciate you watching the videos. Thank you and glad you liked this one too.
Thank you for this video Sophie. I love your videos on wabi-sabi, Buddhism, and minimalism because it leads me to a state of mindfulness. When international travel opens again I would like to visit Plum Village in France, Thich Nhat Hanh's meditation center. After watching your videos I often think about going there.
Timothy, thank you for your kind comment. It is my dream to go to plum village in France. I've heard nothing but amazing stories about the retreats. I am so thankful to you for following my journey and supporting my channel :) thank you!!
Malama Life ❤️
Buddhism and Wabi-Sabi resonates strongly with me.
By the way, I like the content of this video a lot and feel it's a wonderful complement to your "Why I Stopped Shopping" video. Thanks, again, Sophie! 🌸🍃
Thank you so much Walter! I am so glad you enjoyed this one too :)
Also would love some day in the life vlogs!
Aww I appreciate you taking an interest Ashley! I didn't think anyone would be interested in the daily life vlogs :D but I'll plan it out for the future!
I’d love that! Thanks so much for taking time to respond!
Taking away the daily “ crutches “ ,will eventually help us stand better .
Hey! So great content but this last year I got the amazing opportunity to visit your amazing island of Maui and I think I spy the lavender fields in your shots! SUCH a beautiful area. Very calming, very beautiful. Love the idea of a middle road for the approach to minimalism since I don't enjoy constantly doing laundry cause of the lack of clothes lol
love the lavender fields :) I hope you enjoyed Maui
I love the story of Siddhartha. He went through the extremes first. I wonder if its the path to realization.
Yes! I could relate to his experience so much
What a great channel .... you are doing an amazing job at living and learning
It’s been great to watch your videos so far and see your progress in finding who you are and what you want to be
As an INFP personality type I totally relate to you and the process you are on and find your growth very relatable
I’m excited to see your journey xx sending you love 💕 xx

Hi Sophie. Could you share the following routines??
what you eat in a day/week
What your daily/weekly exercise or fitness routine is?
Your haircare, makeup and skincare products and routines?
You are so amazing for giving me all these great ideas!!! I am taking notes and definitely will use these ideas for future video ideas. Thank you Ashley!
I’d just love to see! (:
In the mean time can you share some of the answers? I’d still love to see videos for them
@@ashleyhudson6888 For food, I cook almost everyday. We eat try our best to eat whole foods (meat, vegetables, grains, fruits) unprocessed as much as possible at home. Whatever makes us happy most of the time. Of course, we go out to enjoy thai food, sushi...etc. For fitness, I do yoga everyday 20 min, swim once a week, and walk my dogs 90 min. My haircare, I wash it only twice a week and use coconut oil at the ends. That's it. I use the bun method to curl my hair instead of using heat. Coconut oil for skincare as well and spf because the sun is crazy here on Maui : ) I hope this helps!
Do you eat 3 meals a day and snacks and desserts?
Is 90 minute walk daily? Or how often?
How do you wash hair only twice a week? Do you use dry shampoo? Do you wash morning or night?
For skincare so you only use coconut oil and spf and that’s it? You have amazing skin!
What do you use for foundation or concealer :)
Sorry for more questions. But what shampoo do you use? Do you use conditioner or does coconut oil replace conditioner. And do you use blow dryers (:
I am Buddhist too ☸ lots of love from sri Lanka.
🥰 thank you very much for watching. Love from Hawaii
Sophie, who makes the belted linen dress you’re wearing in the still of this video? I love it.
amazing content.
Thank you so much 😊❤
Brilliant video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it :) thanks Michael
@@MalamaLife Your welcome 🙂👍
I thought you had said "Castle Wardrobe" and I imagined a gigantic wardrobe with a drawbridge hahahahah.
From Moldova 💚🙏
superb!❤️🇮🇪
Sophie is ❤️
I choose middle way
Hi Malama,
Hope not too many questions.
Has depression or anxiety ever been in your life ? And if so, how did you handle it ?
Thanks again
I haven't had depression, but frequently deal with anxiety. Maybe my video will help: th-cam.com/video/yOUAkQgM_RA/w-d-xo.html
@@MalamaLife
You’re lucky that you figured things out. or were wise or self aware. or all of those things. whatever way one wishes to look at it really.
Like your videos dear beautiful lady God blessing you and good luck
Thank you so much 😊
Eastern Orthodoxy has similar thoughts.
My inspiration is in Jesus Christ the son of God. Yes I need to slow down and let go of things. I have let go of a lot of things.
Nice
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching :)
Do not covet or worship things, but look toward the one that created everything, Yashua, the God of the Holy Bible. Only he can give eternal life, through His son, Jesus, the Christ. Budda was just a mortal, and never claimed to be even a God. Just a guy with words. Its more than just words. More than just a fleeting feeling of calm. It's knowing you are known by our God personally, you are loved, you are valued, demonstrated by the sacrifice of His son to pay for our sins. He believes in you, do you believe in Him? Confess your sins, ask for forgiveness and make Him the Lord of your life. Only then, will you have true confidence in who you are, without fear, for you are saved from condemnation. With a hope of a future when this world finally passes away. Then, you will know what true calm is. The hope of yet to come.
Oh gosh. I’ve got this one so wrong. jeez. always found letting to be something very traumatic.
it can be different for different people
@@MalamaLife
yes it certainly can Malama
"天下為公"。。。nice. In Honolulu?
I love on Maui 😊 thank you for watching
Can you say that you are a minimalist if you prefer money more than things? That you prefer to do what you want when you want and how you want it? I have almost 60 books in my Audible library. I don't even know where I would put them all. If it was real books. OMG! I think I prefer to stick to Audible. I bring them with me.
Love audible for that reason too ❤😊
how she beautiful.. because his life style
I know that Diptyque candle is expensive 😂
Some people capitalise on fools like me, by putting "different" catching titles on their Vlogs and simply by fabricating and showing some legs to allure viewers to their videos, just like the Snake Oil Salesmen back in the days! There are plenty of these TH-camrs with no whatsoever useful contents. Their aim, to wow you into their lifestyle, at the same time to appear vulnerable and innocent. Ironically there are plenty of my kind out there too!
Tho I'm a minimalist and I have everything less I just *can't* just let go of my books
For me too. books are one of the hardest ones to let go. Especially the ones I've had for a long time. I donated some of them, the really special ones, I sent it to my parents house. I noticed I don't miss them as much as I thought i would. I hope you find a way!
Absolutely phenomenal! This content is amazing. I encountered something similar, and it was mind-boggling. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
Women practicing minimalism is like men practicing celibacy
Nice tips. I invite you to read the Quran. And to explore Islam. And its perpective on life. May God guide us to the Truth.
Become an Orthodox monk. I saved you 9 mins.
