🌿PURE SIMPLE LIVING {including Minimalism}🌿
Uploads every Wednesday @4pm

My way back to simple living walked down a path of minimalism…

Where I taught myself about extremes and absolutism along the way…

I learned peace and calm can be found in the quietness of buying, having or owning nothing…

But there is a stillness away from ā€˜stuff’,
and the discussion of ā€˜stuff’,
which I think feels much more pure & simple than a mere absence of belongings…

It feels raw, real and instinctively right.
There is a serenity in that which I continue to explore as a lifestyle and simple way of living…

This is not just a way back to simple life but a looking glass for us all…

So we may reflect upon, what simple living was once upon a time and where it could arise once more…

Simple steps on the forest path that leads us back to the natural world…

Wishing You all a Very Happy New Year! In Tonights video I announce some significant News. Given it’s New Year’s Day Tomorrow & I want to start 2026 as I mean to go on…

At a time when many people are setting productivity goals for the new year. My biggest goal is to learn how to rest properly in 2026…

So I may come back all the more stronger for it.
This is Glad Tidings Truly…
I’m here to stay on YouTube & I’m here for the long hall on my corner of the internet…
This is my ā€˜sage life’…

But every now & then, a space needs abit of rest… a dusting off… as a form of cleansing & sage-ing…

so I may start fresh and well rested on this next leg of my minimalist journey.

I hope everyone had a great Xmas. I’m making some upgrades to my channel page. We’ve slightly changed the name from SAGELIFE MINIMALISM. This does not in anyway mean we are no longer discussing minimalism on this channel. I will be discussing reasons for the name change in an upcoming video… I am still very much a minimalist 😊 Here is our most recent minimalist home tour for anyone that missed it šŸ‘‰https://youtu.be/LR26pDaWHss

For everyone in the comments of my recent video asking how they can help me with the hype button. But not being able to find it, thank you so much, that’s so sweet of you all 🄰
The easiest way I know to do it is to keep your phone vertical with the comments half open. Where you see the share arrow you just slide that bar to the left. To reveal the shooting star icon. If you press the hype - shooting star, It helps push my video up the algorithm, even more than a like would. Although that is still much appreciated 🄰

The hype has been made by YouTube to help smaller creators get more impact in the algorithm. Thank You to those that do this for me. (Apparently it’s also only available on videos that are under 7 days old.)šŸ’« Here’s tonight video linked below if you want to go give it a whirl šŸ‘‰ https://youtu.be/TexwDWVBtPg

I thought I better clarify for anyone confused about what I have said in Thursdays & Fridays videos this week…
This channel will always remain a predominantly minimalist channel about minimalism. I was simply saying I am now factoring in more topics within that niche. It will not only be about minimalist home, decluttering and organising. It will also feature some minimalist lifestyle and simple living tips. I was trying to say that it’s a positive. It may mean more videos on this channel as a result. I don’t intend for new topics to replace minimalist videos but rather be extra videos. I said I was doing this, as now my 2nd channel was to focus simply on travel. So I still wanted to be able to make home interior videos on this Sagelife channel.

Basically, consider the Sagelife channel about all things ā€˜home’ along with minimalism. Then consider the Bare Necessities channel to be all things ā€˜Away’. Such as, travel, nature, exploring and even home design around the world.

I hope that is clear 😊 Here is tonight’s extra video about minimalist tips šŸ‘‰https://youtu.be/cfWvKm9yyVY?si=nwvEB...

Extra Video Today at 10.30am šŸ‘‰https://youtu.be/b4NB2ai_zB0?si=Rg1JU...
All about what I’ve learned after furniture free living…

& why I’ve decided to create a cozy minimalist home with minimalism & design as a core value.

Reminder: these videos were all filmed considerably further apart for myself than how you are viewing them. I wanted them to be released as a 3 part series. In reality it’s been just under a month for us. Which was a good trial period. With several different phases throughout. As you will see in today’s video 😊
