I love Shannon Torrens. She has such an easygoing style, and seems like a genuinely nice person.
Who do you like to watch?
I’m quite enjoying Nicolas Garofola’s content. I am seeing an increase in sponsored stuff in recent videos though so have started to become mindful of any mentioned products. In general though I like his stuff. Very chill.
I used to like Jenny Mustard, but unfortunately at this point she’s a minimalist in name only. I get that her fashion content caught on and she’s pursuing that, which is understandable, but her older content was a lot more interesting to me personally.
I really liked that she was willing to explore ideas, for example she did a great video on why she doesn’t want kids. She just kind of did her own thing without worrying too much about doing what she was “supposed” to do, which I appreciated.
Also liked Messy Minimalist, even though it was more decluttering than minimalism. She was unique in that she wasn’t the 10000th minimalist youtuber with a completely white and barren London apartment and an unrealistically staged life. She just kinda went on decluttering missions around her house with a bit of a minimalist touch. Kind of addictive to watch and definitely more down to earth than some.
Watching less of these but still enjoy following:
- According to Nicole Canadian minimalist with interesting videos about lifestyle design, (FIRE, Minimalism, Stoicism, etc.)
- Simply Fatima Amiri- Kenyan rural minimalist, really interesting videos, different culture but many similarities, particularly in outlook
- Aki (Samurai Matcha)- A minimalist who is a school teacher living in a small village in Japan
- Joana Almeida - Architect who lives an productively minimalist lifestyle.
I’ve posted a list of ‘Extreme’ Minimalists on this site too.
