Recently, one of my favorite Youtube makeup guru Xteener got rid of a lot of her make-up to a minimal and she said she was much happier. She cleaned out her drawers and baskets worth of make-up in her room and all is left are the few items she need and uses on a regular basis; the real name of Xteener is Christine; she is a Vietnamese American living in Atlanta, Georgia; she started doing make-up tutorials on Youtube in 2009 and has devoted to making videos since then. She does make-up and fashion videos which aim to help young women to look better and to express themselves in a better way. I have watched her videos for the past six years and her beauty and fashion advice have never failed me a bit; her style and way of putting on make-up are functional and can be applied to many situations and at any time and day in the year.
Christine rarely posts Vlogging videos but she decided to put one on today. The video chronicled her weekend: what she did over the two days, what she ate, etc. In one clip, she described how she finally reorganized and cleaned her make-up cabinet and got rid of many products; she stated her hoarding of the make-up was not healthy and cleaning it up to a minimal created a happier mindset for her. This clip taught me how being minimal makes you happier and that having less helps us to focus more on the important things in life. We can apply this rules of thumb to any arena in our life, such as in our romantic, personal, and professional relationships. Maybe having more is not the answer to our struggles, maybe it's being minimal, maybe just have what we need is more than enough to fill in that empty gap we have in our hearts.
