Finally someone genuinely and who actually has a cluttered home unlike a lot that barely have anything and make everything look so easy. You make it look real.
First, thank you for being so transparent! Not everyone would allow strangers into their bedroom. I wash my sheets every Sunday, as well. It feels amazing to get into sheets that smell and feel so good. I spray bath & body works room spray in between the sheets and blankets-smells so awesome!🌻
I've been working on my decluttering for about 3 years now. After my youngest daughter moved out to college I started being able to get more done. With 3 schedules that affected when I can vacuum, get trash out or use the 1 car for the house and my health issues it has not been a quick process. Sometimes I just get 1 thing moved to where it needs to be used. But. I don't give up. Each day I try to do something.
I love that you wash the bedding, then your husband makes the bed! Great video, but that was the icing on the cake! I'm so happy to hear of the sweet things that spouses do for each other. Mine is a bit challenged since his stroke 10 years ago, every once in a while he surprises me and it blesses my heart. I pray for the energy you have to keep on keeping on! Thank you!
I too started a weight loss journey last June. I’m 60+ pounds down. I’ve learned some behavior modifications. I kept one shirt to remind me of where I was and how far I’ve come. I am one year from retirement and wanted to enjoy it. I do regret all the years I skipped out of photos with my kids because I was embarrassed of myself and how I looked. I agree, I would never judge others. It’s not easy but small steps. 😉. I love love your cash envelope system. We’re in the home stretch of this season of life and I want set us up for success. I have spent this weekend binge watching your channel. Love it!
I am binge watching decluttering and budgeting videos because I need the motivation to do the same for my own home. Thank you for inspiring us. I agree with the saying tiny efforts adds up to massive results. Bit by bits it adds up and by the time you knew you will be done cleaning and decluttering.
I have the same vacuum. It’s great for a quick clean. My husband helps me make the bed. He also washes the vacuum when I use it and puts it outside to dry. Your doing a great job.
I absolutely love your videos. You are so real and transparent and i enjoy watch real people clean as i can relate more to you than a lot of youtubers.
I love watching you declutter. So inspiring! I had the same plastic makeup holders that I did not use so I passed them down to my daughter. (I did purchase the lazy Susan’s you used in your bathroom from last week for use in my bathroom - love them!). I’ve gone through a weight loss journey also and gained some back. Like decluttering, it’s an ongoing journey and I am finally starting to see the weight come off again! I wash my sheets on the 1st and 15th of each month. I live alone so it’s just me (and the cat) and like you, I love the feel of the fresh sheets. I’m hoping to go through my dresser drawers and some cube storage I have with my workout clothes. I still have too much but I continue to get rid of things…it is so freeing to get rid of things, isn’t it? In 2020, I am focusing on my home, weight (self-care) and mindfulness. Wishing you the best on your trip and at the wedding celebration!!
Oh yay Stowie I’m so happy you love the lazy Susan’s for your bathroom too ❤️ Those are my FAVORITE organizational items I’ve purchased! You are so right! It’s definitely an ongoing journey. So happy for you that you are back on track 👏👏👏 And thank you so much
Thank you for telling us that your work on the bedroom did not happen all in one day. I spent a lot of time today cleaning my enclosed back porch and was very disappointed that it didn’t look better. Then I remembered what you said and felt so much better!
I lived in a camper with 4 golden retrievers and 1 teen , myself and my husband for 9 months while the house we were building at the time was being built..let me tell you that I learned so many organization ideas and tidy ways to do things , nothing will get you organized like tight quarters..lol after it is was all done I had it down pat, I still use so many of those things I learned. I honestly missed that time in our camper after we moved out.
I have been binge watching your videos because I love decluttering and seeing your progress. But I'm most loving all your stories. Congratulations on your weight loss.
I've seen a few other people say this, but I too love your transparency! Thank you for that! I have a shark vacuum and I love it! Safe travels this weekend and I hope your daughter has the day of her dreams! :)
I love your drawers!! That was so neat and you can see what you have!! You have done a great job in your room!!! You have a wonderful hubby and he’s always doing those little things.
OMG I am the same with you on the sheets. I need to get better about washing them more often. I have gone litterally months without washing them. and I am ashamed to admit it. but it does feel amazing when you change the sheets. Thank you for your transperancy hopefully you will inspire me to wash or change them more often.
So glad to see someone else putting laundry detergent in and washing the top. I've made Monday my cleaning day. I have to make the bed. We sleep on top of the bedding with individual blankets. Go figure. I fold clothes but he's responsible for putting his away. Looks good.
Hi! Yes to painting the dresser. Try Dixie Belle paint. It is awesome! No crazy sanding or priming needed. Also, thank you for sharing your experience about weight loss. How did you do it? Where did you start? I really love to see anyone that makes progress to feeling better a priority! Go you!! Your drawers look so tidy. Marie Kondo would be proud.
I recently went from 230 to 213 (more to go) for health reasons. I was quite content at my heavy weight, but my arthritis was so impacted. Decluttering my closet this month and getting rid of a ton of things I've kept and not worn in years.
I couldn't help but smile😄 when I saw the fan and the water bottles!! I have those in my bedroom also. It is great how diligent you have been with your decluttering!! Hats👒🧢 off to you!!!
I must say I have been very impressed by you being honest about what the rooms in your house are truly like as well as how you are working on decluttering each area. You are definitely giving me motivation! Also, I completely agree with you concerning your clothes! I know I have way too many clothes (mostly tops) but, like you, I have to take care of it myself. I have to get rid of items at my own pace and on my own time.
Hey Jodi! You did great! I would wait to chalk paint the dresser. You never know you might get rid of enough clothes to not even need it. The drawers under you bed might be enough and would make more room in your bedroom. I chalk painted a vanity and it has held up well. Kudos! Thanks for the motivation. 💜
Thank you for always being so REAL! I appreciate knowing that I’m not the only one who doesn’t move my nightstand to vacuum each week! I love your advice one drawer at a time. As much as I’m trying to take one step at a time, I’m not feeling my progress is adding up. But I know one day it will.. and I absolutely love my Shark vacuum. It’s pet something 🤣 I loves it so much I bought a cordless upright that also has some nifty attachments! (Can maybe help with your fan 🤣)
Crystina I better move the nightstand, jewelry armoire and take apart my fan more often 😂😂 they were so dusty!! I’ll have to look at the shark vacuum. Thanks so much ❤️
I bought a dyson on clearance, after I said I would never buy an expensive vacuum! It has turned out to be the best one I have ever had. I will definitely replace it with another the time comes, even if I have to pay full price.
I had to sike myself up to do my clothes. They are by far the most difficult thing I decluttered in the beginning. Now it’s not as hard. I find myself going back to it again and again and decluttering more and more. Don’t worry how many times you go back to it or not, you’re doing soooo good!
I wash the sheets every Friday when I clean house. I call it Friday night torture. My husband works odd shifts as a truck driver so I have always kept the weekends free for family time.
I love that quilt! My Mom made all five of my siblings a quilt. She passed away before she could ever make me one. She passed when I was 7. Fast forward 40 years later my daughter makes me one for my birthday. Best gift ever!
You are my favorite cleaning and decluttering channel! I don't have a specific recommendation for a vacuum, but my dad always seems to find good ones at yard sales. I feel like you may have luck there, and for cheap too! Love you so much, Jodi!
I bet you didn't know that I nominated you to be my personal motivator, lol!! OMG! You are awesome!! This past Thanksgiving we had all kinds of family over and the whole time I had my husband on high alert making sure our bedroom door remained shut since it was such a mess, lol!! After watching this you helped me make up my mind. My next project will be tackling my very much dreaded bedroom😊 Have a wonderful time this weekend!! Looking forward to another great video when you get back!
We painted our teenagers bathroom vanity with regular SW emerald paint in satin the paint held up fantastic zero issues over 6 years. Covid hit and I was like I'm going to chalk paint the two master vanities. Piece of cake, I've watched so many videos it's super easy and I don't have to sand. NO! Total pain it took me months to finish 2 single vanities. We are slowly fully remodeling our kids bathroom everything is being replaced except their vanity that was rough sanded and repainted again this summer SW (emerald line) Naval.
I adore you. You just make me so happy every time I hear your sweet voice and infectious laugh. Just started watching and going through your wealth of videos. Working on my own crazy cluttered house, starting in the basement with your videos! 😀❤️
Shark is amazing! Good price and works amazing. I have 3 dogs and one cat and I am a neat freak! Believe me when I tell you it is good and meets my clean freak standards. Got it from Sears years ago and still works like a champ. They sell at Costco and qvc as well.
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Shark pet pro - Got one for my daughter! actually on behalf of her doggy Hazel....LOL...so told my daughter now no complaints...all u do is vacuum LOL
8:00 p.m. and I am trying to relax and here comes Jodi...makes me get up and declutter my armoire. Well atleast it is done but can you post while I am actually working lol.
Thank you for sharing how you declutter the real life way 😍. Progress not perfection. I have cats as well and find toys all over the floor all the time. I leave them since they end up back on the floor 🐱
Kenmore Cannister Vacuum is the only one I use. Having a long hose, several attachments to clean everything is great. Plus, the Beater Bar for the Carpet. I also have a make-up table and I love it. I couldn't get rid of much that my husband has given to me, but that is me.
My sister and I have a quilt that our Grandma made from from the scraps of leftover fabric from clothes she made our Mom when she was growing up. We both love it! I try to wash my sheet every week but I do change them every week. Purging our clothes can be so difficult. I frequently take a medication that causes instant weight gain so I have clothes in three sizes and just accept that I need them.
JODI! You are doing such a great job with all that decluttering! BRAVO GIRL! I totally understand your connection with your clothes! I too just recently lost a large amount of weight and just can't get myself to face my old clothes.....it is a different process for each of us~ Thank you for sharing your story~xo And OMG! What a great story about your grandpa! Wow! How incredible! And how special that t-shirt is! Thank you so much for sharing again today and for always giving such positive inspiration! Take good care this weekend...and congrats to your baby on her big day! Sending big hugs! Cat from Colorado
I love your transparency. ❤️ I switched to konmari folding method and that worked for me amazingly well. Now I have more clothes but more space in my closet 🤭 another thing I love is my velvet hangers. They are magically making room for more. I too still on my weight loss journey. I attempted to lose weight for several years unsuccessfully. So I feel you when you try hard but not able to get the achievement you want and the feeling that drags you down. Last march I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and it turns out I have gluten sensitivity which flares my illness. Now that I'm gluten free and lose weight more easily. For the vacuum I recommend Dyson. Yes, it's pricey but it helped me to cut off my asthma medication. Looking forward to see your new wall colour. Lastly happy belated birthday your younger one and congratulations to your eldest. ☺️
Funny story: on no particular day this summer, I sort of did what you did, I got my room nice and tidy, changed the sheets vacuumed the floor and dusted. I was so happy, it looked and smelled so good. I left the house and when I came back several hours later, I walked into my room and there were feathers everywhere! One of my cats evidently caught a bird and brought it in through the cat door. I had to do it all again, including changing the sheets and vacuuming.
I’ve watched many of your videos after discovering your channel but realized I’ve never said hello. So hello from Texas! I love your real life content. I too have been doing a whole house declutter and I totally understood what you meant when you said how easy it is to put things up when you know exactly where they belong. Can’t wait to see your bedroom transformation.
I always put my makeup on in my dining room! I stand in front of my full length mirror and have hair creams and a makeup bin in there and everyone thinks it’s so weird but it’s our home so we can do whatever we want!
Your hubby makes the bed 😳 Wow that would be such a treat!! And I totally giggled at “real cats live here” and your hubby’s multipurpose luggage/nightstand. Yep we all do what works for us and have those quirky things. Nothing wrong with it 😊Keep up the awesome work Jodi!! 🥰❤️☀️
I absolutely love your decluttering style and your saying "real people live here"!! I like my shark vacuum lift away. I don't have pets indoors but I live in West Texas, lots of dirt.
I got one a few weeks ago. It is really quiet. I am able to work from home when someone else is using it. My last vacuum cleaner left me feeling ill with the pitch of the noise
My husband mentioned that his mum and sisters would always put make up and do their hair in the kitchen. there were 4 women in the house and only 1 bathroom so it made sense to them. we had 4 women also in our house growing up but we had 2 bathrooms and floor to ceiling mirrors in our room so it worked for us to be either in our room or bathroom. everyone does what works for them.
I love how honest and open you are. No judgement, I started laughing when you said "we use this cardboard box for our dirty clothes. It works for us." It's true. I hated small garbage cans for the bathroom so I use umbrella holders for my bathrooms. I wash my sheets, mattress pad and quilt about every week and a half. I love the feel of freshly laundered sheets. Keeping my night stand decluttered is a constant challenge. My receipts end up there to scan into Fetch, etc.
Thank you so much Jody. Your videos are so inspirational. I find myself decluttering after I watch your videos 🤗. I love how you say to do it little bits at a time because it can become very overwhelming and sometimes I just don’t know where to start
I bought a refurbished Dyson in 2007 or 2008 and it is still going strong. I've had as many as 11 cats in my home at one time (fostering), so it has taken a beating.
I would totally just get rid of the dresser, you can store everything in your closet and your under bed strorage. It will open up the room so much and you can buy a bracket to mount the TV. I can't wait to see your room painted. Great job decluttering and on your weight loss journey!
Hello hello hello! New subscriber Binge watching your videos and I LOVE your enthusiasm & positivity. Your laughter & your smile are so contagious 💜 I laughed so hard when you said you wash the sheets then husband makes the bed 🤣. I think this is awesome ~~ that's a great guy 👍😸
I have the same fan- it's even the opposite of righty tighty lefty loosey. I figured it out somehow and my Honey was impressed when he saw it clean and reassembled. He said that's cool that you figured that out. Awh shucks lol.
I am in the same place as you with clothes. Still working out my own best way. I hate it when others try to 'help' as I would go crazy not knowing where things are
Love watching your videos! Yes,definitely chalk paint your dresser..throw some new hardware on it and it will look brand new! I love my shark navigator...I've had it for 8 years now no problem
You are such a beautiful soul and an amazing source of motivation and inspiration! Binge watching this channel. I have been following your coupon channel for a long time.
I totally agree with you everyone has different things that work. I personally own so many tank tops (I live in Texas) I found hangers which I believe are for scarves maybe. But thats what I use one for plain and one for design. Otherwise I may need two drawers 😆. Thank you for sharing these videos one of these days soon I have to do the same. Love seeing what your doing and giving me ideas. I have a dresser that I want to redo it was my grandma's but the drawers don't work well. Can't wait to see what suggestions people give you.
I've enjoyed your decluttering videos. I've been watching silently. This is my first time commenting. I went through a paparazzi phase too. I decluttered and gave some away. I still have a few.
Hi Erica 🤗 Thanks for commenting and so happy you have been enjoying my videos. Oh my gosh I bought so much of that jewelry 😂 It’s so cute and cheap it’s hard to resist
I’ve done so many chalk paint projects for years. I did it so much I’m burned out. That being said the dresses is solid and would look beautiful with paint. Or keep it original and just polish it up, put some new hardware on it and put some kind of modern decor on it. Loving those drawer dividers. I think I will get some.
Hey love your story! Your videos are great. Been binge watching since the fist hall closet video haha. You should give the conmari method of folding clothes a go. It’s really fun and perfect for dresser drawers.
Chalk paint is really easy to deal with! Just painted shelves in chalk paint and used chalk paint sealer, super easy to do and very pleased with the results! Also love shark vacuums, they pick up allllll the dog hair over here!
Jodi, this was my favorite video of all of your videos on both channels. I was so moved by it. I was 220 lbs on a 5'2" frame IN HIGHSCHOOL. I was miserable in that body and it eventually lead to my eating disorder. Going from a size 22 to a little girls size 9 and back up to a size 6 has been so emotional to me and the clothes are so hard to go through. So, I push them into bins and forget about them. Sigh. I totally get makeup in the kitchen! I stand at my kitchen counter to do my nails and my family thinks I'm nuts. Better lighting and I'm usually baking something too.
Wash my sheets every Monday when I clean my bedroom and bathroom. I feel you on the decluttering clothes,I have done my closet twice this year and still have way to many clothes that I don’t wear but can’t bring myself to part with. I’m going to do it again in January and they are gonna go!
I don’t know why the clothes seem to be the hardest to get rid of 🤷♀️ Wow twice already this year! That’s amazing. It definitely gets a little easier each time ❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 I retired early 5 years ago and still have all my school clothes,shoes etc. I don’t need them but hang on because they were expensive,I might wear it again …..my new daily outfit for years has been yoga pants and a tshirt! Not sure who I’m trying to fool! 🤣
I wash my sheets about every two weeks. I use the Tody app to track my cleaning so I know what is due when 😆 You are kicking ass on all this decluttering!
It looks great, Thank you again for letting us in your home. I change my sheets also on Sundays 😊 Congratulations to your daughter, enjoy your family time away ❤
Jodi, I get you on keeping clothing mementos! I'm down from a 28 to a 20! I was all the way down to a 16, but covid came, and brought extra stress pounds!! I've re-started my downward journey again just recently. I'm not into straight sizes yet (haha, it seems so silly, I lost over 100 lbs, and I'm still plus size!) Your room looks fab! Have fun at the wedding!!
I swapped out a formal laundry basket and now use a storage cube, smaller neater and a colour which blends in. I also switched to a insulated water imbottle for the bedside better for the environment and one less bit of clutter and the water remains cold
Finally someone genuinely and who actually has a cluttered home unlike a lot that barely have anything and make everything look so easy. You make it look real.
Thank you Adriana ❤️
First, thank you for being so transparent! Not everyone would allow strangers into their bedroom. I wash my sheets every Sunday, as well. It feels amazing to get into sheets that smell and feel so good. I spray bath & body works room spray in between the sheets and blankets-smells so awesome!🌻
Thank you T 🤗🤗
I love bath and body works. That’s a great idea
I was about to say the same! So much bravery and transparency and I am here for it ❤️ it’s a breath of fresh air to see your honesty and positivity.

Yes ❤️❤️❤️

I wash my sheets and clean my house every Saturday. It's been my routine for years and I love it.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
I bought a dyson on clearance, after I said I would never buy an expensive vacuum! It has turned out to be the best one I have ever had. I will definitely replace it with another the time comes, even if I have to pay full price.
Oh thanks Tonya ❤️
I love my Dyson definitely the BEST!
When you said "I was so ashamed that I couldn't figure out, why I couldn't figure it out." omg, yes I felt that. Proud of you
Thank you Jenni ❤️❤️
I love your optimism in your voiceovers! They make me laugh when you laugh! :)
Thank you Cammy ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on your journey to improve yourself. Can't wait to c your bedroom makeover.
Thank you so much Norma ❤️

Your husband was so cute making the bed 🛌 Your bedroom looks great!!
Thanks Cynthia ❤️❤️
I love that quilt! My Mom made all five of my siblings a quilt. She passed away before she could ever make me one. She passed when I was 7. Fast forward 40 years later my daughter makes me one for my birthday. Best gift ever!
Awe!!! What a sweet daughter you have Kimberly ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great Job!! you are so encouraging love watching praying for safe travels for a;; of y'all!!!
Thanks so much Sonya ❤️

We are slowly fully remodeling our kids bathroom everything is being replaced except their vanity that was rough sanded and repainted again this summer SW (emerald line) Naval.
I have chalk painted tons of furniture, I love it! Some times I use matte polyurethane to seal it and sometimes I use wax.
Thank you Tamera ❤️❤️❤️
I feel the same way about clean sheets, I remember my grandmother ironed her sheets.
Oh my gosh my grandmother used to iron everything. I don’t even own an iron 😂
I adore you. You just make me so happy every time I hear your sweet voice and infectious laugh. Just started watching and going through your wealth of videos. Working on my own crazy cluttered house, starting in the basement with your videos! 😀❤️
Thank you Sara 🤗🤗
Oh that’s so awesome!! Decluttering is hard work but soooo worth it ❤️
Shark is amazing! Good price and works amazing. I have 3 dogs and one cat and I am a neat freak! Believe me when I tell you it is good and meets my clean freak standards. Got it from Sears years ago and still works like a champ. They sell at Costco and qvc as well.
Shark vacuums are the best!!
Thank you so much Dawn ❤️❤️
Looks like several recommendations for shark so it must be a good one.
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Shark pet pro - Got one for my daughter! actually on behalf of her doggy Hazel....LOL...so told my daughter now no complaints...all u do is vacuum LOL
8:00 p.m. and I am trying to relax and here comes Jodi...makes me get up and declutter my armoire. Well atleast it is done but can you post while I am actually working lol.
Paula 😂😂😂😂😂
Yay I’m so excited for you!!! It went fast too right and you got it done 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing how you declutter the real life way 😍. Progress not perfection. I have cats as well and find toys all over the floor all the time. I leave them since they end up back on the floor 🐱
Denise they end up everywhere 😂
Kenmore Cannister Vacuum is the only one I use. Having a long hose, several attachments to clean everything is great. Plus, the Beater Bar for the Carpet. I also have a make-up table and I love it. I couldn't get rid of much that my husband has given to me, but that is me.
Your laughter is so cute, so warm 🥰
Thank you so much ❤️
My sister and I have a quilt that our Grandma made from from the scraps of leftover fabric from clothes she made our Mom when she was growing up. We both love it! I try to wash my sheet every week but I do change them every week. Purging our clothes can be so difficult. I frequently take a medication that causes instant weight gain so I have clothes in three sizes and just accept that I need them.
Awe April that is so so special ❤️❤️❤️
Jodi, you have a wonderful laugh! Makes me smile every time you giggle 🤭
Thank you Judy ❤️
JODI! You are doing such a great job with all that decluttering! BRAVO GIRL! I totally understand your connection with your clothes! I too just recently lost a large amount of weight and just can't get myself to face my old clothes.....it is a different process for each of us~ Thank you for sharing your story~xo And OMG! What a great story about your grandpa! Wow! How incredible! And how special that t-shirt is! Thank you so much for sharing again today and for always giving such positive inspiration! Take good care this weekend...and congrats to your baby on her big day! Sending big hugs! Cat from Colorado
Thank you Cat 🤗🤗
Congratulations to you!! That is so awesome and so exciting 👏👏👏 you will face those clothes when you are ready ❤️
I love your transparency. ❤️ I switched to konmari folding method and that worked for me amazingly well. Now I have more clothes but more space in my closet 🤭 another thing I love is my velvet hangers. They are magically making room for more.
I too still on my weight loss journey. I attempted to lose weight for several years unsuccessfully. So I feel you when you try hard but not able to get the achievement you want and the feeling that drags you down. Last march I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and it turns out I have gluten sensitivity which flares my illness. Now that I'm gluten free and lose weight more easily.
For the vacuum I recommend Dyson. Yes, it's pricey but it helped me to cut off my asthma medication.
Looking forward to see your new wall colour. Lastly happy belated birthday your younger one and congratulations to your eldest. ☺️
Thanks so much Zeynep 🤗🤗
Oh yes a good sensitivity or allergy can do so many bad things in the body. So happy you found out ❤️❤️
Funny story: on no particular day this summer, I sort of did what you did, I got my room nice and tidy, changed the sheets vacuumed the floor and dusted. I was so happy, it looked and smelled so good. I left the house and when I came back several hours later, I walked into my room and there were feathers everywhere! One of my cats evidently caught a bird and brought it in through the cat door. I had to do it all again, including changing the sheets and vacuuming.
Debra oh my gosh 🤦♀️😂😂😂
Your kitty was bringing you a prize for all your hard work 🤣
Yep, sheets get washed on Sunday. Great video
Omg!!! The water bottles…that’s me!!! We love Dyson! We have Australia shepherd…Dyson works so great!
Thank you Liv! I’ve had quite a few recommendations for Dyson and shark. I appreciate you sharing ❤️
Love your energy Jodi! Can’t wait for more life videos! Clean sheets are great I try to remember to them every 3-4 weeks.
Thank you so much Leah ❤️
I’ve watched many of your videos after discovering your channel but realized I’ve never said hello. So hello from Texas! I love your real life content. I too have been doing a whole house declutter and I totally understood what you meant when you said how easy it is to put things up when you know exactly where they belong. Can’t wait to see your bedroom transformation.
Hi Megan 🤗
Really appreciate you saying hi ❤️
And so so exciting you are decluttering!
I always put my makeup on in my dining room! I stand in front of my full length mirror and have hair creams and a makeup bin in there and everyone thinks it’s so weird but it’s our home so we can do whatever we want!
Exactly Deisi ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your hubby makes the bed 😳 Wow that would be such a treat!! And I totally giggled at “real cats live here” and your hubby’s multipurpose luggage/nightstand. Yep we all do what works for us and have those quirky things. Nothing wrong with it 😊Keep up the awesome work Jodi!! 🥰❤️☀️
Yes I love when he makes the bed Shine ❤️❤️
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗
I love it when u say it ur video real people live here that is so true that's how I feel abo
Love your talks while you sort things out. So great 🥰 well done on all your achievements 🤟🏼💜✨
Thank you so much Samantha ❤️
Ohhh, I love the drawer dividers!!! 😊
I absolutely love your decluttering style and your saying "real people live here"!! I like my shark vacuum lift away. I don't have pets indoors but I live in West Texas, lots of dirt.
Oh thanks so much for the suggestion ❤️❤️
I have the Shark cordless vacuum, I love it! Having a cordless is a game changer. I definitely vacuum more often now. 💜
Yay. A cordless vacuum would be awesome! Thanks for the recommendation ❤️
I got one a few weeks ago. It is really quiet. I am able to work from home when someone else is using it. My last vacuum cleaner left me feeling ill with the pitch of the noise
My husband mentioned that his mum and sisters would always put make up and do their hair in the kitchen. there were 4 women in the house and only 1 bathroom so it made sense to them. we had 4 women also in our house growing up but we had 2 bathrooms and floor to ceiling mirrors in our room so it worked for us to be either in our room or bathroom. everyone does what works for them.
Oh gosh yes 1 bathroom with 4 women. They definitely had to use other spaces ❤️❤️
Love watching these videos! You’re doing a great job. And, I see all the water bottles on your night stand, mine looks the same. 🤣😂
I get thirsty at night 🤷♀️😂
I love how honest and open you are. No judgement, I started laughing when you said "we use this cardboard box for our dirty clothes. It works for us." It's true. I hated small garbage cans for the bathroom so I use umbrella holders for my bathrooms. I wash my sheets, mattress pad and quilt about every week and a half. I love the feel of freshly laundered sheets. Keeping my night stand decluttered is a constant challenge. My receipts end up there to scan into Fetch, etc.
Umbrella holder….never would have thought of that! Genius Michele 👏👏
Ahh the dreaded receipts. They have taken over my house at many points 😂😂
Thank you so much Jody. Your videos are so inspirational. I find myself decluttering after I watch your videos 🤗. I love how you say to do it little bits at a time because it can become very overwhelming and sometimes I just don’t know where to start
Awe Cindy I’m so glad to hear that! Yes one spot at a time. It can get very overwhelming!! Appreciate you friend ❤️
Awesome job! :) Have a nice weekend and I hope the wedding of your daughter will be blessed!
Thank you Prym ❤️
I bought a refurbished Dyson in 2007 or 2008 and it is still going strong. I've had as many as 11 cats in my home at one time (fostering), so it has taken a beating.
Oh that’s a long time!! Thanks for sharing Adrienne ❤️
Yes I chalk painted my chest of drawers. I changed the knobs to hand painted ones. It looks great.
Thanks Christine! Did you have to sand it first?
Hi Jodi, Not on mine I didn't.
I would totally just get rid of the dresser, you can store everything in your closet and your under bed strorage. It will open up the room so much and you can buy a bracket to mount the TV. I can't wait to see your room painted. Great job decluttering and on your weight loss journey!
Hello hello hello! New subscriber
Binge watching your videos and I LOVE your enthusiasm & positivity. Your laughter & your smile are so contagious 💜
I laughed so hard when you said you wash the sheets then husband makes the bed 🤣. I think this is awesome ~~ that's a great guy 👍😸
I have the same fan- it's even the opposite of righty tighty lefty loosey. I figured it out somehow and my Honey was impressed when he saw it clean and reassembled. He said that's cool that you figured that out. Awh shucks lol.
Laura what a pain that was figuring out 😂 good job to you 👏👏👏👏
I love that you are sharing your journey. Thank you.
❤️❤️
I am in the same place as you with clothes. Still working out my own best way. I hate it when others try to 'help' as I would go crazy not knowing where things are
Yes Ali. We all have to work things out our own way ❤️
Love watching your videos! Yes,definitely chalk paint your dresser..throw some new hardware on it and it will look brand new!
I love my shark navigator...I've had it for 8 years now no problem
Wow 8 years?? That seems like a long time for a vacuum! I’ll definitely look at that one. Thank you Stephanie ❤️
Your dresser drawers look amazing, keep going ,you are doing great.😊
Thank you Kay ❤️
You are such a beautiful soul and an amazing source of motivation and inspiration! Binge watching this channel. I have been following your coupon channel for a long time.
Thank you so much Penny ❤️❤️
Hey 👋 I agree with you about the clothes when I'm when I figure it out and that's when I know what I'll do with them so yeah!!👍
Hey don't you think your daughter might want to use it maybe?
Yes ❤️❤️
You’re doing a great job with your cloths. By the way I change my sheets every Sunday no matter what.
Thank you Karen ❤️❤️
I totally agree with you everyone has different things that work. I personally own so many tank tops (I live in Texas) I found hangers which I believe are for scarves maybe. But thats what I use one for plain and one for design. Otherwise I may need two drawers 😆. Thank you for sharing these videos one of these days soon I have to do the same. Love seeing what your doing and giving me ideas. I have a dresser that I want to redo it was my grandma's but the drawers don't work well. Can't wait to see what suggestions people give you.
Thank you Jennifer ❤️
Good job Jodi. Congratulations also on Gracen’s big day. ❤️
Thank you Sharon ❤️
I've enjoyed your decluttering videos. I've been watching silently. This is my first time commenting. I went through a paparazzi phase too. I decluttered and gave some away. I still have a few.
Hi Erica 🤗
Thanks for commenting and so happy you have been enjoying my videos. Oh my gosh I bought so much of that jewelry 😂
It’s so cute and cheap it’s hard to resist
Shark vacuums were great I swear by them
Thank you Kathy ❤️
I’ve done so many chalk paint projects for years.
I did it so much I’m burned out. That being said the dresses is solid and would look beautiful with paint. Or keep it original and
just polish it up, put some new hardware on it and put some kind of modern decor on it. Loving those drawer dividers. I think I will get some.
Yes I think changing the hardware will make a big difference.
Those drawer dividers have been an amazing buy ❤️
Hey love your story! Your videos are great. Been binge watching since the fist hall closet video haha. You should give the conmari method of folding clothes a go. It’s really fun and perfect for dresser drawers.
Thank you Naomi ❤️
Chalk paint is really easy to deal with! Just painted shelves in chalk paint and used chalk paint sealer, super easy to do and very pleased with the results! Also love shark vacuums, they pick up allllll the dog hair over here!
Thank you so much Bethany ❤️
It’s Jodi day!!!!!! Woooohoooo!!!!!
❤️❤️💃💃
I like the dividers. I have not had any luck with the compartments
Yes I love them ❤️❤️
Jodi, this was my favorite video of all of your videos on both channels. I was so moved by it. I was 220 lbs on a 5'2" frame IN HIGHSCHOOL. I was miserable in that body and it eventually lead to my eating disorder. Going from a size 22 to a little girls size 9 and back up to a size 6 has been so emotional to me and the clothes are so hard to go through. So, I push them into bins and forget about them. Sigh.
I totally get makeup in the kitchen! I stand at my kitchen counter to do my nails and my family thinks I'm nuts. Better lighting and I'm usually baking something too.
Amy it truly can be such a struggle! I appreciate you sharing your struggles with me and I’m so happy to have you in my life ❤️
Great job👍👍👍👍💐🌼🌹🌸🌷🌺🌻🦋 I wash my sheets and clean my house every Saturday its been my routine for years and I love it 💜💗💛💚have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Wash my sheets every Monday when I clean my bedroom and bathroom. I feel you on the decluttering clothes,I have done my closet twice this year and still have way to many clothes that I don’t wear but can’t bring myself to part with. I’m going to do it again in January and they are gonna go!
I don’t know why the clothes seem to be the hardest to get rid of 🤷♀️
Wow twice already this year! That’s amazing. It definitely gets a little easier each time ❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 I retired early 5 years ago and still have all my school clothes,shoes etc. I don’t need them but hang on because they were expensive,I might wear it again …..my new daily outfit for years has been yoga pants and a tshirt! Not sure who I’m trying to fool! 🤣
I love my Dyson vacuum❤️ But I use my cheap stick cordless vacuum everyday….it’s been a game changer for me.
I wash my sheets about every two weeks. I use the Tody app to track my cleaning so I know what is due when 😆
You are kicking ass on all this decluttering!
Thanks Wendy ❤️❤️
It looks great, Thank you again for letting us in your home. I change my sheets also on Sundays 😊 Congratulations to your daughter, enjoy your family time away ❤
Thank you so much Mely Ann 🤗❤️
Super late to this but awesome job Jodi! I loved the makeup vanity 😍 but totally get gettingbrid of things we do not utilize.
They have crackle paint that looks great to do on older furniture. It's easy to do and seriously nice after it's done
Oh thanks Shelly. I don’t think I’ve heard of that
Jodi, I get you on keeping clothing mementos! I'm down from a 28 to a 20! I was all the way down to a 16, but covid came, and brought extra stress pounds!! I've re-started my downward journey again just recently. I'm not into straight sizes yet (haha, it seems so silly, I lost over 100 lbs, and I'm still plus size!) Your room looks fab! Have fun at the wedding!!
Wow Caryn WAY TO GO 👏👏👏👏👏
That is truly incredible and impressive ❤️❤️
I’m rooting for you 🤗
Try to not focus on the size. Celebrate your accomplishments🎉
I swapped out a formal laundry basket and now use a storage cube, smaller neater and a colour which blends in. I also switched to a insulated water imbottle for the bedside better for the environment and one less bit of clutter and the water remains cold
That’s awesome Hazel 👏👏
