ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.
Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones — and $25,000 of debt — to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and — best of all — wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.
My mission is to help you conquer your clutter and simplify YOUR way to a happier and better life. HERE'S OUR STORY: atozenlife.com/about-a-to-zen-life/

Do you have any thrifting secrets to share? 🤫 Comment below and if you want to see an empty house tour, you can comment with the word HOUSE or the 🏡 emoji. Thanks for watching :)

Sometimes the charity shop has to be appreciated like a museum. You see beautiful stuff, wonderful items that evoke memories, but you don't have to bring everything
-
"if something is not 100% yes, it's a no".. that's a good one 👌
-
🏠 Of course I want a house tour. Can't believe you even asked. 😅
-
I'm a thrift store shopper, and my rule is what I call one in one out. For example I saw this mid century modern end table and I could not leave without it because it matches the aesthetic of my house. When I brought it home I removed the old end table out of my house to be given away for free to whoever may need it.
-
Regarding people taking things from your cart when you're trying on clothes: I would definitely try on clothes first thing when you get to the store while your cart is empty. That way there's nothing to "steal".
-
I put stuff into my cart and do a final sort before I pay. Sometimes, I find things that are better than what I picked up first. It's also too easy to get over enthused about the bargains when you begin.
-
There’s something to be said about completely redefining the way you go about appreciating things. Maybe the memory of the jello molds lives on in the space they occupy in the store. You refreshed the memory by holding them and creating a new memory shelf of them in the store. You don’t need to move them into your interior space or exchange money for that. Maybe this new memory shelf is healing, or heartwarming, in a new way.

What a great episode! I am a minimalist too, and now, when I go to a thrift store, I am OK with spending an hour in the store and walking out without having purchased anything. Thrifting can be so relaxing; cheap therapy. 🌷
-
The "fantasy self" is so real! I've tried so many times to try nice shoes that I end up giving up after wearing them for hours, making my girl friends very happy. It helps to make peace with your looks and body type
-
I love to shop thrift, but I'm A-OK about leaving empty-handed. It's something of a challenge that I set for myself, going home with a Fabulous Find - or nothing at all. 😊
-
I think one of the best de cluttering/minimalist things to do is if you are going to a thrift store take some things do donate. An item for an item. Esp. if its a charitable thrift store. If you have a list of 5 items you want to buy go around your place and look for 5 items you can live without.
-
I love this format 😊. Great info and I would definitely love an empty house tour! 🏠
-
I would have loved to see your husbands expression about either what you bought or how much you saved. I liked the cups you didn't buy, but the color was very old fashion classic stoneware. It would have been hard for me to pass up if I needed them - but I don't. It's shocking how ruthless and competitive other thrifters can be. Fun Video!

I met three sisters a long time ago and they were expert thrift store clothes shoppers, following in the steps of their mother and grandmother. They could identify every stain and knew how to remove it, and were mending and restore queens. One of them got her beautiful, pure silk wedding dress from the fifties for 30 dollars, years before she even knew her husband. And her sisters all wore the same dress with tweaks they all did to it to make it different. I'm sure their daughters will wear that same dress.
-
You totally scored on those Container Store desk sorters. I love thrift shopping.
-
I’m amazed no one has taken such a nice large canvas bag out of your cart - the cover-up bag, I mean. !
-
Congrats on your house Marissa! so happy for you. Yes, would love to see a empty house video. Thanks for all you do an share!
-
🏠🏡🏠Definitely in for a house tour!!!
-
Looking forward to the series. I would like a haul video of what you buy for the new house and YES to a house tour. I will never be a minimalist but I am decluttering and learn a lot from you. I won't buy upholstered furniture or throw pillows or suitcases because of fear of bedbugs.
