i wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the overwhelming love and support on my last 2 videos. this has been a really transformative time for me and I am learning so much about myself through this process. i'm looking forward to pivoting my content on this channel and opening up conversations about so many other topics i have been wanting to discuss. your support means the world to me and always me to do what i love to do
Thank you for this video. Much needed❤
Nikki you the best
Would you be so kind to donate 5 chanel and other bags. We do the same social by helping children who cannot afford tuition fee to enter college
Great video!ignore the haters
@@alphansakumarie3kumarie105just stop 😂😂😂
Ladies think 2x before doing this. We all go through phases an you should not be buying luxury items for investment or competition. You buy those items to enjoy them.
Exactly!
Absolutely....had this phase too and glad i didn't get rid of things...
Those are some very nice bags that you are getting rid of. Once this "quiet luxury" trend is over, influencers will be rebuilding their bag collection.
Amen!!!! SMH What a load of BS!
exactly!!! they will come back with another trend called handbag renaissance. eye roll!!!
lol hope not
nah these bags arent even beautiful
Hi Niki! Just rediscovered your channel. Love your transformation ❤. But wanted to tell you to please be careful not to go from one extreme to the other. Having a healthy balance of everything in life is amazing! For me I only have 4 designer bags bought years ago & I love them but don't have any desire to indulge into luxury shopping any more. Hope you can find your own balance and live the happiest life with your lovely family 🌟
Definitely agree with you. I'm a true believer of everything in moderation, no chasing, just enjoying what we have, whether it's luxury or not or just adding a few thoughtful items that spark joy.
Clunky logo display is just tacky.
Agreed!! Great tip
There is no competition in the fashion industry. These imitations have reached a whole new level *preluxscom*
@@bikerultimatesuper tacky. Wanna be vibes 😂
This seems to be a "trend"...high-end influencers having their awakening and getting rid of a lot of their stuff.
Well, it’s a positive trend.
I've been noticing this too. I wonder why.
@@staceyyvonne9854 For some of them, it's because prices for luxury items have gotten so high.
Yup
Yes they probably inspiring each other and I love this trend. Better then other way around. Consuming so much stuff makes you feel empty.
Ive said before that this seems disingenuous. Its the trend now to be a minimalist
For the riches
Im with you on this!
Same not buying it all !
I have to agree. Why doesn't she sell her huge home that seems way too big? A house is also a status symbol after all.
I agree. I hope it doesn’t lead to some “new age spiritual” content like Jay Shetty (who is a fraud!)
If it makes you happy to rid yourself of these items that’s great. I own mine because I enjoy them an acquired them late in life because I enjoy them. They aren’t a sign for me.
Agree100%
I think she put her worth on those luxury items. So that’s she is taking her worth back in this way
Same. I own four Chanel bags; the classic, a tote, the latest medium kelly, and a woc. A well dressed woman needs at least those for functionality. I prefer Chanel because ten years from now, my granddaughter can enjoy them, as I keep them pristine and they are all classic black.
Totally agree, I have purchased items I probably didn’t necessarily need but I wanted them and I enjoyed my luxury items for me ❤
This is another way of influencing just the opposite of what influencers do. Why announce it if you weren’t trying to influence others to do the same. I believe everyone knows that designer items does not and should not define who your are. Buy whatever you like because you like it. At the end of the day it’s all vanity just like all the other tangible things in this world.
100% agree.
Agree
1000% Agree!
Content is the reason.
Well said. The ones complaining are shoppers who are clearly struggling with addiction and complaining because they aren’t bold to do the same. Misery loves company.
I love this so much. It's not what the woman is wearing, but rather, the woman. Simply. The woman. We are more than enough! Our true value is within. Congratulations lady You have evolved ❤
yes. yes. yes!! thank you so much for your beautiful comment
So true ❤
LAMEEEEE
@@Becky1945 I appreciate your efforts. 😘
I'm doing the same. I stopped buying luxury things. I felt guilty after i bought designer stuff. I stay home most of the time now with my family.
a bit ironic that you are selling these and your target buyers are people exactly what you no longer want to be
i think you missed the point. i am doing what aligns with my authentic self. i don't have "target buyers" and i am not influencing anyone to buy or not buy anything they don't want to. i'm simply talking about my journey in the hopes of inspiring others to live their best and most authentic life.
It doesn’t matter.
@@NikiSky you are “inspiring” people to follow suit, yet you made this into a whole advertisement platform to sell the things you are getting rid of. Irony lost here?
@@NikiSky what a joke
@@NikiSky just stop
In this world that is only materially oriented, it is wonderful to see this kind of spiritual upliftment. I want you to live every moment of your life filled with love and awareness. Keep going! ❤
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again this is the next trend and step towards “quite luxury”! You’re just framing it in a self awareness type of way! If this is what makes you happy then so be it! I have never purchased anything in my life because social media said I needed it! Designer items do not define who I am and never will! Best of luck to you.
Agree!
Ah, I get it. It's a marketing campaign! Slimy, however very clever
It’s about how you feel. It’s not a crime to Wear designer hun.
Don't think she's accused anyone of criminal activity
Loving the new changes. Motherhood has a way of punching you in the face and showing you what you actually care about.
Not just motherhood. It is becoming mature.
@scubacop2345. You are so naive.
Being a mother doesn’t make you better… growing as a person makes you better
I DONT THIS CHANGE IS LAME ... AND ITS HORRIBLE
Yes, it definitely makes you realize your priorities ❤
People complaining because this is a new trend... and if so, what? This is the message influencers precisely have to communicate to us all. Bravo Niki, I support and celebrate your transformation. Your example is big inspiration for many girls out there.
Influencers are not policy makers
These are the people who told you how great logo LV monogram was, then how that was tacky, and you needed to embrace quiet luxury. Now it's purge my closet.
Yeah let’s sell our bags for nothing. In a year there will be a new trend - to buy luxury. So we gonna run and buy the same stuff, but after a few price increases. No, thank you.
Well said. The ones complaining are shoppers who are clearly struggling with addiction and complaining because they aren’t bold to do the same. Misery loves company.
Hahahahaha! SMH
It’s admirable that you are reassessing your priorities and deciding to part ways with something that no longer brings you joy.
Im proud of you, isn’t it weird the luxurious things that one time made us feel amazing or superior are the same things drowning us, getting rid of the things you don’t need is liberating❤
So, this is the new trend, quiet luxury and we are selling all our Chanels and LVs and buying The Row, etc., and becoming more mindful while doing our skin care? 😝
Ha! Exactly! 😂
i had no idea this was a "trend" when i started this transformation process but sure
Haha yah! Back then,logo mania was a trend!Its just a cycle.
New sub and I am here for it. New ones will come.
@@NikiSkyyeah ok!😂
Blah blah ! She is an influencer so luxury is no longer trendy so she switches her channel to be purest of them all. It is for likes and subs but since she caters to young and naive she will have followers:(
huh? lol firstly, when i started this transformation, i had no idea this was even a "trend". secondly, i am sharing my journey. i am not telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do. it is up to them to decide. and if i can inspire others to live more authentically, that is my only goal
Agree luxury is no longer resonating with their subscribers at this age and time, hence why so many influencers are now following this trend.
Some people have awakening
Touche! Did Niki’s choice just slap you in the face? 😅😅 maybe make that change too.
Let her live. New subby here and I’m here for it
Brave…. But my question is why did this come about? Who or what happened to flip the switch? Will you tell?
The power of a spiritual awakening! The same happened to me this summer and im so happy to live a life free of the illusion society fed us. Meditation changed my life forever! Thanks for sharing this video and being authentic! Its rare nowadays love❤
why selling everything when you can keep them for your kids ? Or grandkids? Is an opposite extreme from over purchasing with a similar reason. Buying to feel happy and then selling to feel happy. None of this 2 extremes solves the problem. In both cases the person is relying on manipulation with material items in order to get rid of a deeper feeling. I went through both stages being in therapy. Holding into items that you already have and focusing on the feelings can be an option. I regret getting rid of some items being in this stage. It didn’t solve anything but I lost things that brought me memories.
I agree. It is about balance not extremes.
thank you for sharing your story. for me, it is a lot deeper than just getting rid of "Things". this is only a very small part of it. i have changed many other things in my life to be in alignment with my authentic self and i plan to talk more about these things in upcoming videos. everyone has their own journey and process. i feel content with mine.
@@NikiSky Thank you for your answer. I absolutely agree, everyone has different journey. Is just a thought that you may want to think about keeping something for the future generations. Having a purse or a beautiful dress my mom or my grandma was wearing would be much more valuable than a new one. 🤗
That's because it's for content, they are selling "lifestyle". First it's luxury lifestyle, now it's minimalism lifestyle.
I see why you’re doing this purge because you’ve consumed quite a lot of luxury items for your channel it seems..but don’t project it onto others by saying that we are in competition with other women . Some of us just like what we like and don’t care about what others think 🤔.
Agreed! I have some pieces, a curated collection of luxury items which im so proud of and enjoy but in no way shape or form do i compare, nor want to compare myself with others!
She didn’t project it to all of us, if it triggered something in you then that’s a you thing
Wonder if you’re going to downgrade your home too? The house is probably the biggest status symbol one can own today. And any luxury cars of course.
Doubt it!!!!
Why should she? It’s a home for her family and her…not a bag
Yes but a home is actually an investment…bags are not.
I have always wondered about people who crave that lifestyle. Would they have anything interesting to say or can they bring anything to the table in intelligent conversation. Yes, I do have high end bags and etc. I love maybe 5 of them. I have sold one of my Birkins. I did feel proud of myself when I didn't grieve the loss of it. Hahaha. Anyway, I love this post. It's very inspiring. Let's see what kind of personalities we can nurture without being fed a bunch of crap about luxury being a necessity
I've been following you for ages Niki but never left any comments, I always find you so beautiful inside and out, and this honesty will definitely give a shake, rattle and roll on social media, do whatever makes you happy in your heart and soul. Sending you much love and support!
What goodwill or thrift store did you take them too?Or did you resell them?
This woman has a luxury lifestyle Home, car , holidays at Yet she is removing some of her luxury items and now is insightful.
Must be nice to be able to afford to just give all of your things away! It was just SO brave of you. SMH
I hope this isn’t stepping out of bounds but I think you should also consider moving to a smaller place or maybe even away from the city.
Hello, I just subscribed not even viewing this episode yet.I just want to thank you. I watched the most vulnerable episode you made when you encouraged us to read the radical awakening, and it was 5:30 in the morning when I did.I sobbed uncontrollably .I am from the Caribbean and the expectation that was instilled in me killed me every day as a grown 44 years lod woman now.I just now am taking my control and I found you.Again ,thank you ❤
ahh this comment truly warmed my heart!! thank you so so much for sharing that with me and for being a part of this amazing community! i appreciate you so much
New subbie here told. Jamaican bred.
🎉❤please share which bags u sold and which ones u kept and why! Xoxo
I’m confused, why are you wearing VCA and Cartier while making this video? That’s highly recognizable high end jewelry saying you have arrived… 🤔 I have never said a negative comment in my life on KZhead, I am asking because it looks like a contradiction.
One does not have to het rid of everything to find more balance and inner peace. If there are pieces that hold a sentimental value or if she just loves them, let her !!! Don’t judge others but look at yourself and where you are in life. Where can you grow and what can you give others to make them aware of who they are. A truly authentic balance person is not only a blessing to them but to others even more so. Peace ☮️
@@user-po3ko9yb5wSorry its contradictory
May be you want her to give it to you 😂. So many people coping.
Kudos to you for it takes a lot of courage to do this! 👏🙌🏻
YASSS. Love witnessing this shift for you, and excited to see how you grow and expand from here
This is awesome! I needed to hear this!! Thank you!
Wow! I have been feeling this way since the covid started. I haven't used my designer bags since 2020. I haven't purchased anything expensive lux ever since. I am not into showing my stuff anywhere...I also quit Instagram. I feel so much better without looking at those nonsense Instagram ads coming at me 24/7 urging me to consume more and more...
I’d love to see the end result of your wardrobe! What you’ve kept, how you’ll be styling your clothes etc xx
thank you so much for the request, and i will definitely talk more about this (and show) in upcoming videos xx
Same here!!
Amazing message , I totally feel aligned with you.
How much are you selling the door bag.
Hi Niki Thank you so much for this video. Truly inspiring.
I believe that you will make your own brand for new mamies and young women…
Bingo!
You did so much work to get your listing ready. I'm so happy for you
Are there people who really believe you?
Where did she throw those items?🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Where is your black shirt from? I love it! Do you have a vlog about your new closet/style?
Thank you for this video ❤️✨
Can you share where did you sell your bags please?
wether 10$ or $10,000 bag is a bag, it's just a bag! to me they look similar and do the same thing!
Another level! Amazing!
Glad you think so! thank you so much for watching
This is soooo beautiful!
Great job Niki 👏 thank you!!
thank you so much for watching
So refreshing! Thanks for sharing your awakening and opening others eyes! Kudos!
thank you for watching xx
I have quite a few luxury handbags and I feel the most comfortable and free when I wear something simple like my longchamp mini backpack. I don’t have to worry about damaging the leather or scratching the hardware and I can enjoy myself with my kids more. At the end of the day material items don’t make us happy and we won’t take any of it with us when we pass.
I feel the same way especially after seeing what is happening to the people of Gaza! The strength they have when loosing EVERYTHING made me look at life differently and appreciate the simple things of life like my kids my family the food I’m able to eat the safety I live in!! Such an eye opener for me!
Im totally agree with each point of your video! Love it Nicky!
thank you for your support xx
I LOVE THIS ❤❤❤❤
Where is your simple t shirt from?? Love it.
I thought you enjoyed your items...and your collection...that you have fun with it...trying different styles and combinations or was it just work and for your channel? Anyhow enjoy your new journey. From time to time a change is needed.
This is women empowerment ❤❤❤❤ letting go of our strongholds... This is so amazing.. respect 🙏🏽
thank you for the kind words
Love this so much
i'm so happy to hear that
Subbed! Love this! Thank you for the inspiration
Just subscribed! I came across your channel years ago and didn’t subscribe, but today I just felt the need to hit that button!
What kind of car do you drive? Land Rover, Mercedes, Porche, Jaguar, Lexus? Will you be swaping it out for a non-luxury brand without a logo? Will you be selling your luxury home which is also a status symbol?
i drive a tesla because it's the safest car for my family that gets me from point A to point B. i'm pretty sure all cars have logos on them. we will be selling our home when it makes financial sense to do so as it is an investment.
Btw, You’re beautiful and don’t need any of these luxury items to make you more appealing. Personal style has become so underrated while luxury has become so overrated. Ironically, I blame social media for this!
Amen!!!!
Be careful not to dump too much too fast or you will have regrets. as women mature (and some never do, but I digress) most learn that materiel things are just that, things. Things you can not bring with you when you die and may not have any value or meaning to those left behind. Keep ones you love and use them
I love it and so, so proud of you
I hope you are keeping the things you love even if they are designer.
You could have just kept the ones you already own and not purchase anymore but i get you.
Perfect. This creation has a huge and deep meaning. THANK YOU.
Thanks for listening and i'm so happy you think so
Speak for yourself 😂 I’m gonna continue to LIVE and not worry about what others think and buy and rock all my designer bags 💼
i think what she wanted to adress was that at the end of the day a bag is a bag. designer or not
@@yygg9786 while wearing designer jewelry 🧐 she’s full of it 😂
Im pretty sure she is indeed speaking for herself.
@@ananasvostel she’s trying to project her thoughts on others, save it 😂
@@DivaStylez. And perhaps you are projecting your thoughts on her?
I love this awakening💞💞💞
Love the meaning of this video ❤
Where can I buy them?
Question your whole channel was base on fashion and telling others for YEARS what bags/clothes ect to buy, now since you are a mother you a different person.
Thats ok. People grow and change. She is being authentic.
Come on you can’t be a mother and wear Chanel and Jimmy coco that BS
@@daniellekirsch5402No she’s not at all but you’ll see
Drawing upon personal experience, there may be occasions when you may have feelings of insecurity and face the temptation to revert to familiar habits. Prepare for these moments and remind yourself why you're on this journey. Often, with lifestyle change, you'll find you need new friends as you can no longer relate and share the same values. Usally, the change is for the better. " MATERIALISM WILL NEVER MAKE YOU HAPPY. IT KEEPS YOU JUST FRUSTRATED ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE YOU BUY MORE." - JEAN SEBASTIEN MONZANI
Isn't it great that I could've just been at this point already when I was broke 😂 what was I thinking
I’m so happy for you ❤
Happy that you are clearing things out that you no longer want in your life! I love my bags like I love my flowers. But you do you, obviously you don’t like these items and they don’t make you happy. ❤
Wow! What a revelation… light bulbs moment… thank u 🙏🏾
Bravo!! Thank you so much for the Gift of this profound message.
This is an excellent video!!
Sometimes you have to get through something, bevor understanding it's useless! Important is to understand sooner or later that immaterial values are more important.
This is so great! It also can be stressful to have a bunch of expensive goods that need to be protected and maintained. I really just don’t want to have tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of luxury goods at home. I’d be constantly worried about theft, house fires, floods, etc.
I hope it’s not a new trend where you owe nothing and feel happy :). Although I agree that to feel and look beautiful you don’t need to own millions worth of luxury and brand name stuff. The stuff doesn’t define who you truly are
this is certainly not a trend for me. i also don't plan to own nothing.
i love you so much! I recently just found your nkuwan and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
I love love this!!!
Wow your refreshing videos are so inspiring.
Love this video !
New subscriber since I saw the change in your content! I was waiting to see a shift in the overconsumption of luxury for few years now and I am so happy to this happening. I am happy for the spiritual transformation you are going through and using your platform for this! 😍 as a new mom myself I can relate and I had to get rid of a birkin and a kelly and a chanel flap, because they were not matching my lifestyle. I got these from years ago, and were collecting dust and when I would force myself to wear them, the Hermes bags were so heavy, I regretted many times buying them. Now I am just for bags that are comfortable and fit my lifestyle and experiences like traveling with my family and creating precious memories
I was skeptical at first....yeah, right...but now I see it's true. It's also a huge safety issue for street wear. I recently sold my entire LV luggage (8 pieces) collection because it no longer serves me and has been sitting in a closet for 11 years.
I love this and I am so happy for you! We are all evolving and I love that you acknowledge what used to resonate for you no longer does.
My mum did something similar many years ago, clearing her closets, keeping two bags for me. As I liked them I wear them occasionally they are battered and well worn, and very beautiful. I’m not precious with them. My mother wasn’t. I have never bought a designer bag for myself.
So true I love bags but I love this perspective it speaks to my soul it is the truth
I love this so much
Does your journey include downsizing your home?
I only recently in the last few months saw the creators showing their recent luxury purchases... and the first thing that came to my mind was as a middle income adult, "who the hell would care" about such frivolous and non-essential stuff!?! As if to say our lives as are nothing without this stuff... how sad that their fulfillment in life would be "to acquire things" instead of doing all they can to help humanity. You are a refreshing breath of fresh air and I'm grateful for your truth ❤
Love this
I love this so so much! Been following you for years not because of brands you advertised but because of your own personal style, you energy and a very authentic way of being. Glad to see you embracing more of who you really are and I hope to see more videos like this! It’s pure gold ❤️ thank you for being so courageous 🙏
Beautiful! Congratulations on finding such incredible clarity and enlightenment! ✨
Understanding everyone has there own journey...can you address other luxury KZheadrs are saying these types of luxury purging videos are for views and subscribers. Thank you
