Having pets can be very expensive, but the profound joy animals bring to our life is worth it. My chihuahua is 14 years old, he made me so happy all these years, he filled my life with love, I can't put a price on that, and I am a proud minimalist...

I think just living more thoughtfully is the goal . Thoughtful about all our choices and their impact . Thoughtful about the quality of the life we live , to our environment around us and to our fellow humans we interact with . Always being mindful how we can make “our little bubble” better, while finding joy , peace and contentment along the way 😊

I have been "restricting" my budget those last few months for the unnecessary purchases or outings. I'm traveling to Japan in less than a month and I know I want to spend my money on that trip. And in the meantime, I don't even feel the need to go shopping or eat out because the simple thought of that travel keeps me grounded and happy.

Hi, Sophie! I'm from Portugal and when I found your channel a few weeks ago it spoke to my heart, because I identify with you in the need to use/have/buy less and be/live more. That's when I found out that you lived in Portugal for a while in the beautiful village of Cascais.🥰 I know that you returned to Hawaii and just saw in the news, that Maui is having a lot of fires and is being evacuated. I don't know if that is the island you live in, but I pray everything is okay with you, your husband and your sweet dogs.🙏 Paula

There’s a motif of selectiveness in minimalism that applies to how we spend our time and money. A journey of learning to be choosy with our limited resources. I love that your videos cover both spectrums. It’s aspirational and refreshing to know other people share similar values.

I agree with everything you said minus returning books you purchased and read. As a friend to a small bookseller this happens all the time and really hurts their business. Many small bookstores have buy back programs instead where you can get some of your money back and that now USED copy can be enjoyed by someone else. Even if you buy on Amazon many times you are actually buying from smaller sellers that need those profits to maintain their small business. Beautifully made video and loved hearing about your panel boarding experience as I have been considering purchasing one all summer.

your style of minimalism is similar to mine. I limit my belongings to things that are useful and sometimes just special to me, but I buy very intentionally, and I generally stick to a one in/ one out, so it really makes me think before buying. I have no need to fit my entire life into a suitcase, I just don't want my things to be a burden rather than a joy. I love paddle boarding too!

Loved this video! I enjoyed seeing the other side of your minimalism journey 💚 Jewelry, shoes, and clothes are things I don't mind spending extra on, especially the shoes. Once I tried on a pair of Duckfeet, I realized I can't go back! 😄 When you were talking about how you used to buy several items of clothing with $100 versus just one item, I instantly understood. Often, the $7 items at the thrift store reel me in, but I noticed recently that I actually don't have a lot of what I thrifted in the last year anymore. It was surprising to notice that, and now I want to consciously building my wardrobe 💖

It's been a long time, Sophie - I how you are doing well. Great video. The money I spend nowadays is on experiences rather than materialist things, I have reached a point in my life where I no longer feel I need to compare myself to others, I am very grateful for what I already have. I like to invest in others too - simply because it makes me feel good. (Am I being selfish?). For example, I have a VA from the Philippines who I pay triple the salary - which sounds like a lot, but is really no more than equal to minimum wage here in the US. I know I am investing in her future which makes me all the more happy.

Agree. Sometimes the Yoga studio is nice, but I stopped (before Covid) because they allowed too many bodies (ex.6:00-7:15 am). People would arrive late, and they were still allowed to join, and it was already somewhat tight.😶 Rather than become annoyed, I continue in my home until I find a more adaptable yoga studio.

I passed my final exams a year ago. I set myself up for the fact that I would succeed, studied a lot and rested a lot. I just knew that in the future in my life I was going to have a lot more difficult moments than exams. I was a little excited at the exam (this is normal, in such situations the brain works better). As soon as I was given the test, I turned myself on at full power and started! After the exam, my head hurt a lot, but I was glad of it - so I did a good job :) I passed the way I wanted - almost perfectly. I advise you to focus not on the fact of the exam, but on how many exercises you can perform and how, repeat what you have learned, important points in the exercises. The most important thing is to maintain physical health - you need to have a good rest with such loads! it was difficult to fall asleep before the exam, but I slept 5 hours (I usually sleep 8), everything was fine If I were preparing now, taking these final exams, I would pass even better, because I became more concentrated, disciplined, calm and confident. Then I just wanted this period to end with good results :)
