I started a low buy year! In this video, I want to share my rules and thought for this low buy 2021 in order to save money, live a minimalist life, and also consume sustainably. Coming from the background of living minimalism for many years, this challenge will not change my shopping habits a lot. But I am very excited to track my purchases and spending to establish a good financial foundation.
I’m addicted to my phone. It’s the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see before I sleep. And now, I end up spending 4-6 hours on my phone every single day. 🌒
I knew this was a problem for a while, but now, I want to be more intentional about how I use my phone. So, in this video, join me as I discuss how this all started and the steps I’m taking to implement digital minimalism in my life. 🌀

We’ve all seen what I don’t buy because I’m minimalist, now we’re gonna see what I DO buy! I’m human, I buy things, and that’s completely fine! Being minimalist isn’t about owning literally nothing; it’s about only owning things that bring you joy or value, and these things are exceptions because they do just that! (most of the time)

the property is really of good or really high quality so yeah let’s just appreciate the place
uh good thing about this property is that you are just in la pullapu city so it’s just really around
major establishments so you have malls near this place you have schools both private and
public schools you have churches around you have a lot of scenic view around you so you have shrines
the Mactan shrine and you have an access going to Mandaue City and Cebu City which would also
be better in a few years or in a few months as the Cordova Cebu City link or the CCLEX will
soon open so traveling from Cordova or the island of Mactan to Cebu City would be very
much easier or more convenient for everyone so thank you once again and always be safe
