When it comes to minimalism, intentional spending and living in a clutter-free home, it can really help to know if something is a 'want' or a 'need'. Product marketing and social media often try to convince us we need things, that we really don't need. So here are 50 common things you just don't need. My hope is that this list can help you to save money and have less clutter, as well as live a simpler and happier life.
Lots of love,
š¼ Vera

I stopped buying womanās magazines because the message is āyou arenāt good enoughā āyou need to changeā āyou need to buy thisā.
Would love to hear your thoughts on aging.

I do have a bath mat. Its advantage over a towel is that it doesn't slip on the bathroom floor. So, for me at least, it feels a lot safer.

As a dietitian, I really appreciate you talking about detoxes. They're not only completely useless but also can be quite harmful. Not to mention expensive as heck.

Iāve been married for over 20 years to a man that wants to have every new gadget. He is an IT professional so I guess thatās part of the occupation. I consider myself more like Vera, a minimalist. Whilst some of the gadgets we have in our home can be convenient, I think it is terribly unnecessary. How lazy have we gotten that we canāt get up and turn off a light switch? My husband also has a smart watch so he is always looking at that if heās not looking at his phone. All of these things distract us from a quality life in my opinion.

At age 36, I decided to not spend any time, money or energy on my appearance that stresses me out, makes me tired, or I only do out of SHAME. For example, shaving or waxing my legs and arm pits. I only do it when I feel like it, for a summer wedding party for example, but not to just go outside. I was super scared at first, but people care less than I thought. I don't dye my grey hairs either. I don't care and don't want to spend my precious energy on it! I really feel that I am the sane one, even though society makes women that don't adhere to this crazy standard look like lunatics.

I actually love purses (not high end) but I listed a bunch on eBay, andā¦ nothing. No interest. Iāve concluded that most things we buy, five seconds after we pay full price, its new worth is ZERO.

It's nice to see someone else who doesn't do TikTok. I also don't do Instagram. :)

Iāve had the same water bottle for years. Does the job! I never go for trendy clothes, decor, etc. I like timeless things.

Thought, if you really want a "coffee table book" there's probably one (or 10) second hand at your local thrift shop. Or better yet see if your local library has any large art books available for checkout. If they do you can get a new one every few weeks and actually enjoy them. Final idea, buy an old atlas. Then you can at least add your own updates and notes as the world changes.

Fun fact: Yes, an air fryer is just an oven with a fan, but most ovens in USA don't have fans. I know that's different in some countries in Europe. The fan is what makes air fryers so popular in the USA, because it cooks food differently. šššµš·

Cleaners! Oh my, there are people with cabinets full of different cleaners. I use a spray with vinegar, water and a few drops of dish liquid. I have peroxide on hand that I soak our toothbrushes in once a week, I have rubbing alcohol on hand to remove things like permanent marker, I have an oxygen powder that goes in my mop bucket and i use for cleaning the bath tub or as a boost to my laundry detergent. That's all I ever need.

Love the video! :) You're right about shopping on Temu etc.If a price seems too good to be true, it often means that someone else paid for it, either with their freedom or at the expense of nature

1) Beauty products - I used to spend a fortune on moisturisers and cleansers for 'sensitive' skin and still had a lot of trouble. During Covid lockdown, I couldn't get the products I usually used, so used nothing as I didn't want to risk trying something new. After a few days of sore, tight skin, I suddenly realised that my skin felt better than ever before - I've used nothing but soap and water on my face since, yet my skin looks far better than it did when I was using all these expensive moisturisers!
2) Coffee table books - I love photography and art, so I do use these. I have half a dozen that I rotate - one is a souvenir from my trip to NZ and the others are from second-hand shops - so I never get bored and visitors always have something to look at too.
3) Reusable bags - I use surplus bags to fill with decluttered items to donate to charity shops!

Pillow spray; great for helping anxious people relax at nighttime for bed if they find certain smells helpful in relaxing, like me. I make my own though, it's a few drops of lavender, neroli, ylang ylang and jasmine essential oil, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to emulsify the oil, and the rest is distilled water. I spray on my pillow before I go to wash my face and brush my teeth and when I come back it's dry enough to sleep on and nicely scented. I've started associating the smell with time to sleep and I drift off faster.

I truly appreciate smart devices and smart leak sensors. A few weeks ago, someone opened our mailbox at night after 9 pm and I was alerted and I had a short video so that I could see who it was. The leak sensors were installed after we had water in our basement on a few occasions.

The AppleWatch has a fall detector. This is a heck of a lot more minimalist and freeing than a Lifeline box in the home, which requires a landline, has a substantial rental fee, needs countertop space, and only functions within the confines of a small space. The watch doesn't require any of those expenses or cluttter. It doesnāt even require cell subscription, but uses service from your cell phone. You can go anywhere your phone is, and it will call emergency services automatically if you fall over. This gives you outdoor freedoms in safety. At a fixed price (the cost of the watch). With a tiny footprint, i.e. a space on your wrist.
The Watch is about as minimalist per benefit as you can go, and itās a life saving device.

This was really helpful! I stopped buying a lot of processed foods and started making my own, like bread, granola bars, etc. It is an extra time commitment, but so worth it in quality and taste!
