Have you started decluttering yet? What are your tips
yes! This year I've been trying to get rid of the things that give me a looming, dreadful feeling of "what will I do with this?" lol. Whenever I find myself ruminating on things that are only giving me negative vibes/memories, I try to find a new use for it or toss it to avoid falling into the pattern of allowing that stagnation to sit in the environment (or I truthfully will.) If I really can't get rid of it, it goes in a special box for sentimental stuff- out of sight, out of mind until I'm in the mindset to revisit it.
I declutter bit by bit all year round. I have to pace myself as I have a health condition which means I have very little energy. Also I dont make New Year resolutions. My word for this year is 'slow' as I have to put my health first. I dont have any goals (shock, horror). I am tired of seeing vloggers banging on about how we all need to have goals. I understand we need to have goals for our work especially if we are self- employed but its become an obsession. I am 68 and just appreciating life and Nature and living in the present. I am not stiving any more. In Buddhism the striving for more all the time is the essence of suffering. The ego is never content. Meditation and mindfulness is to help to calm the mind and stop the endless striving.Thank you ladies. Love your conversations. ❤❤❤😊z
I hate it when we go to the council recycling centre and see people throwing away perfectly good household items. I always think they have never struggled financially. I hate waste. We go for a carvery sometimes and the chef doesnt use the legs if the turkeys. We asked what they did with them and they said they just throw them away. I think that is immoral. My partner stopped smoking a few years ago in January. He had smoked for about 50 years and just stopped. 😊
Thanks Ruby for making me laugh. That was so funny.😂😂
@@lizzieh5284 hahaha I am glad you liked it - Ruby

So lovely to hear from you, we love our growing community BB Cindy
Oh Ruby I laughed so much when you were describing you and Tom on the floor 😂😂😂
@@AlisonGreenValleyCrone hahahaha I’m glad you did, honestly it was so bad, my legs just wouldn’t work 😂 - Ruby
It was a good chuckle 😅 I'm glad you could chuckle about it too Ruby! 💚Ayesha
LOL, I love the way Ruby tells a story, BB Cindy
HI happy to see you back !! I rescued an African Violet it was so sick and looked half dead it cost me 50cents I planted it by the window gave it water and care and it become the most beautiful violet I have ever seen ! It had literally small sparkles on the petals and it has given my to big blooms of flowers it is just lovely
@@laurakm991 ohh that sounds so lovely, thank you for being a plant saver too - Ruby
African violets are so lovely, I love how it's possible to grow a whole new plant from one leaf 🍃 so great you were able to rescue it 💚 Ayesha
Oh lovely! I,m worried about mine atm, it looks like I may have overwatered it BB Cindy
It’s always so lovely to see a new vlog from the three of you - a time to cosily sit down with you, to listen to your easy, comforting chatter and enlightening stories - you always draw me in and make me feel as though I am there, and that you are real friends that I know, in person. Hard to describe, but you are so natural and unaffected - simply, delightfully yourselves, speaking from the heart. A real gift! ❤
That's so kind, we just show up as authentically as we can , BB Cindy
Hi ladies! I have been clearing out clutter for the last five years. I'm a single 65 yrs young single woman. It amazes me how I still had stuff from when my children were young. So out with the old and in with clear, free air. Just wonderful!😊
Great to harness the energy of SPring and embrace letting go! I've got a lot to clear out in the next month and I feel conflicted, a lot of stuff has potential to be transformed into something magical! BB Cindy
Hello ladies. Imbolc is soon upon us! I’ve been dreaming of my garden and planning the making ! I just took down most of my Christmas decor…slowly. I think many people are taking a slower approach to living which is good. My favorite decor is Shabby Chic mixed with Art Nouveau and Cottagecore. I have been adding those elements and donating items that don’t incorporate. So I’m actually in transition ❤ I live by the Wheel of the Year. The old ways are best imo. Love your talks…thank you for sharing your thought and ideas. Blessed be
Yes I'm definately noticing people slowing down, or am I just tuning into it more. Following the wheel of the year makes me more aware of this. Must get on with planning the garden too! 💚 Ayesha
Thanks for joining us round the table, I cant wait to get out into the garden again. I stand at the window and think about what needs to be done BB Cindy
One thing I have learned over the years is that just because I like something doesn't mean I have to have it. It's like enjoying a scent of a flower without picking it! Lots of love to you ladies 😊
Lovely observation! Iwent to the woods for the weekend and didnt bring a single stick bACK, major achievement! BB Cindy
A great place to donate, especially women's & childrens clothes, is a women's shelter. Many women flee dangerous situations with nothing.
This was so fun to listen to, thank you! ❤❤
I agree and would love that. I will look up how i could do this 💚 Ayesha
Thank you for that reminder! BB Cindy
I loved the green witches' clothing. She looked so put together. I would totally wear that style today! Love to laugh with the three of you!😅
Yes me too BB Cindy
I have things that are only meaningful to me, so as I’m confident my memories are sticking, I have a ceremonial burning of : my baby blankets, toys, cards, letters.
It's so hard to let go of those sentimental things, that does sound like you found that freeing 💚Ayesha
Thats a very brave thing to do! I know I would struggle with burning some things xBB Cindy
@ after the things I’ve seen in thrift stores, there are beloved things I never want to end there
Our youngest has finally found a place of his own so the timing of my decluttering worked out well as he'll need things for his place now. Even the attic got cleared out.
Ahh perfect timing! And they will have all those lovely home memories to start their own home 💚 Ayesha
Awesome well done, suuch a sense of achievement I can imagine BB Cindy
Blessed Be❤
and to you brightest blessings! Cindy
Really enjoyed this video! Your collective laughter brightened my day which is what I dearly needed. Thankful for all three of you! 🙏🏼
Sending you much love welcome around the table! BB Cindy
So funny! I just spent the last three or four days going through my whole house cupboards, closets, and drawers Etc and just clearing everything out that I really have no use for and don't need to hang on to anymore. It felt so good to just let it go! the energy in my house feels so amazing, organized and just a genuinely good peaceful feeling ;-) and I'm like you Cindy I'm taking everything to the thrift store because I just don't have time to try to sell it online etcetera. I smudged real good and blessed the house afterwards and it just feels wonderful!
That sounds very satisfying! 💚 Ayesha
It does doesnt it, I;m decorating my craft room atm and I feel so overwhelmed cos I dont have a space to create in and because everthing is speard all over the rest of the house! BB Cindy
I really enjoyed your conversations and the laughs!. I sometimes make leg warmers or hand warmers out of old socks. My favourite socks I will wear until they are so thin on the sole that I can't mend them, so that's when they get a new life!
I love that idea! The best I could come up with for old socks was stuffing a draught excluder, but I know they'd just get in the way 😂 💚Ayesha
Good idea BB Cindy
I am celebrating a one month event at a new job❤🎉🎉
Wonderful! BB Cindy
I love your videos! Your camaraderie and flow of conversation is at once inspiring, hilarious, and heartwarming…Thank you! For me I am working on building a foundation for the future. I don’t know if you are into numerology but this is a 22 personal year and my life path happens to be a 22 as well so I am leaning into that. Building a better financial foundation, decrease debt. Building a habit of moving and stretching my body. I am 54 next month and I feel your pain, in the knees etc. I did have therapy for the “peeing when I don’t want to.” But I still make sure I do not have a full bladder before I jump on my rebounder. And I am spending more time on my creative and artful pursuits. Which is vast, due to my ADHD which I have only known about for a year. I also have a shopping, thrift shopping issue. It brings me such joy that I struggle with stopping. So I want to look at having an Etsy shop or something to move stuff out, earn some income and continue to do what I enjoy. Also some inspiring declutterring channels I enjoy and would recommend The Minimal Mom, Dana K White, and Clutterbug! Love and Joy to you all!
Oh I can relate so much to all of your message! Decreasing debt, moving stuff on, making time dor creativity, working on the not peeing at inconvenient times 😂😂I watch the minimal mum too. I don't understand how she still finds things to declutter!
Thanks for joining us here too 💚 Ayesha
OOO, thanks for those, I'll take a look! BBCindy
I really enjoy these talks! Thank you! ❤
@@jensummer3549 thanks for watching Jen - Ruby
It's so lovely for you to join us, thankyou for your lovely comment 💚 Ayesha
Thank you for joining us BB Cindy
I have been decluttering and sorting stuff most days in January. Got a pile of stuff that needs to go to charity shops ( which is gradually reducing). I find just having separate marked boxes of drawers for things is good to helping things not get out of control. As someone who msles a lot of stuff from recycled material I can easily have too much stuff for art and craft projects.
Yup totally get that, BB Cindy
Here from northern Ontario, Canada! Listening while I clean up my place after a hard few days ❤️ hope you all are well 🧙🏼♂️

Hi ladies. Mallow is good for sore throats and coughs.❤❤❤😊
I've just seen a recipe video for making marshmallows from the mallow plant root, good for soothing throats and digestive system amongst other benefits. And a yummy way to do it 😋 The leaves are mucilaginous too. I have a mallow in my front garden but not actually used it ...yet! 💚Ayesha
@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 Im drinking Mallow tea at the moment. Ive had a dry cough for weeks and it really helps.🙂❤
Thanks BB Cindy
BHF do home collections locally - I have arranged a few times for bags of clothes, furniture etc to be picked up (which I need to with not having a car). There is a minimum which I can't remember - something like 6 bin bags worth but the local shop has a number you can phone - they have specific days for each area so you have an idea when to get things ready 😉
OO I need 3 pieces of furniture collected BB Cindy
Are there any organizations around you that help settle refugees? They always need decent used furniture. Or a group that helps unhoused people get a place? Just thoughts for that used furniture.
Oh, the audio is good!!
There are a couple here in Lancaster
Thanks ladies I will look those up. 💚 Ayesha
Yes there are , I have donated to them before BB Cindy
British Heart Foundation charity, they collect the second hand furniture and electric.
I love going in the BHF furniture shops! Thanks fir the reminder that they collect 💚 Ayesha
Thanks BBcindy
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 your very welcome. Just check online. I know that they furniture and electric departament. Check as well Alice's Attic. They do as well. Best regards :)
