Hi friends!
If you're wondering how everything held up after the first year, you can watch the update video here! ua-cam.com/video/AkrcY9jrfBY/v-deo.html
Peace!
Is the video private now?
Oh, no... The video is private now 😭😭
You guys are so smart to do this now, while you’re young! I’m nearly 70, trying to clear away forty years of stuff my deceased husband and I collected. I think we just shopped because we were bored! It’s so overwhelming to work my way through all this stuff! Anyone who reads this, try to do this now, while you’re young and your body doesn’t hurt when you lift all this stuff. You’ll be proud of yourself.
When I did paper I also went through my inbox-unsubscribed from a bunch of newsletters and etc. I unfollowed a bunch of people on social media, artwork/sketches that weren’t doing me any justice.
I love this idea!
Great idea
Really cool idea! Thanks for the tip
I need that too!
I've been doing this for the last week and god it feels good!
Can I direct your attention to how he looks at her, its so special...
Coreen Benadie ❤️
That's nice, I got a heart from Andie herself, I hope she sees it too now.
Oh my gosh 😍😍
I agree this whole video is so wholesome
It’s adorable. They’re adorable
I recently got out of a toxic relationship and seeing your cooperation on the project and hearing your partner's "happy to help" makes me want to cry
You are worthy and you will find someone who’s happy to help one day. ❤️
Just keep working on yourself.”If you build it,they will come”.😉
Hey, sis! I wish for you happiness and health.
Same.
yeah but also it's a shared effort & saying "happy to help" implies that it's one person's job & the "helper" is only helping..
First video in a long time someone actually does the method as described in the book and not just whats convenient for them. Thank you!!!!
Yes! One of my recent pet peeves is youtubers claiming to konmari their belongings when they're really just using a couple rules and/or going through the steps half-heartedly.
@NorthernLights Yes you should definitely declutter using whatever method works best for you. 100% agree with that.
My issue is that people have been riding the recent popularity and using "KonMari" or "Marie Kondo" in their video titles and then disregarding the entire process.
I agree with that as well,@NorthernLights.
Personally, it seems to me that a lot about this method is actually rather wasteful from a planetary perspective. At the very least, a lot more possessions could probably be donated, re-used, re-purposed, recycled, repaired, etc. Along the lines of "One person's trash is another person's treasure'.
There is so much need in the world, and in our affluent Western society not many people seem to bother to donate even good, usable items .... it is just too much trouble for them. Just look at all the things that end up in our landfills.
I like the decluttering idea, but lets put it in a larger perspective.
.
@Syra Games Have you ever been to The Container Store? They bought A LOT of stuff. It's easily more than 100$.
@Syra Games Yeah, but JefferyK referred to The Container Store where they bought their containers, and you referred to his comment.
So the prices of random stores that sell containers are not relevant, in fact.
In the show, she was clear about how some things have a purpose and that is enough for "joy."
I hope I'm explaining that well enough. Like... Cookware wouldn't bring me joy, but there's a purpose, so I should keep it?
I was wondering the same thing about your Jean jacket - you wear it, do you like it when you wear it? I think that's joy.
I think more of it as maybe cookwear doesn’t bring me joy, but a fresh cooked meal for my family does bring me joy :)
Exactly 🎯
Yes, don't get rid of things you use all the time. Not everything has to make you feel blissful. It's wasteful to get rid of good things that you use.
I'm not religious anymore, but I had a great pastor in my childhood who often preached that joy has many forms, not just an ecstatic high, but also a deep, calm well of contentment. He said we had to cultivate both not only in our relationships with God and faith, but in other areas of our lives, because highs cannot sustain us alone. So when I declutter, I don't feel conflicted about keeping things like cookware which provide a means to achieve contentment or fulfillment, even if the object itself does not spark joy. That being said, most of even my tools and stuff do spark joy. I have an ordinary, $10 hammer which genuinely sparks joy because it has nice lines and fits so well in my hand. Why not keep an eye out in thrift stores for a Crockpot that does spark joy for you, if your current one doesn't? You never know!
I love that.
The KonMari "thanking things" comes from Shintoism, where objects can acquire a kind of soul or intelligence depending on energy absorbed, or can have a native soul or energy if it's a natural item (like bamboo or cotton). Her numbers come from Japanese life, where spaces are typically quite small.
There is even a word in Japanese for specifically collecting books that you bought, spent your money and time earning that money on, and ... never read. Ever. It gives constant anxiety and guilt to see them and think of how much you spent on them and the fact that you "wasted" all that by never reading them. So "keep only ____ books" comes from that. However, if you're a bibliophile and they make you genuinely happy? KEEP THEM! Mari approves!
Folding things her way isn't even about doing it her way as something special. The idea here is to learn uniformity: a Japanese sense of "-do", like Nintendo (the way of second Heaven), kendo (the way of the sword), etc. A specific idea or method to approach harmony, perfection, and expedience. Really, it doesn't matter if you fold your underwear or not. What matters is are they stored neatly? Do you do it the same way every time? Doing it the same way every time means you no longer have "little anxieties" over how to do something each time. It's already decided for you. Doing it the same every time helps you do things by muscle memory when you are too tired to want to go on.
So much this! Thank you 💗💗💗
L M thx for the explanation.
Thanks LM especially your last paragraph because for me, if I don't know where the discarded stuff will go, that in of itself is stressful to me. Please list more places items can go. What about selling online? I don't know if it's worth it since I don't have much space for storage. I probably would need a video explaining how to do that.
A final thought...it's about what "sparks joy" which could be a lot of things, but the key is that everything needs its own space. That's where I might have trouble. I have art supplies all over the place. Another issue besides having a small place, is that I don't have any closets. I live in the upstairs of an old house (someone lives below me).
So helpful to go through the exact intricacies of each action and hope it helps in the day to day and impacts us
And then Marie herself is named Kon-do!
Marie Kondo advocates using cardboard boxes and things you already have for containers. Just wanted to say that for anyone thinking this is expensive.
Yes! Thank you! It's not supposed to be expensive lol
Cardboard containers are a nightmare if you by any chance get a silverfish in your house.
@@yuliangeorgiev Yup! There are a lot of insects and rodents that feed on cardboard and the glue that holds them together.
One can tweak this to work for their life.
Melanie Boyle I was JUST about to say the same thing! By the end of decluttering your house, you should have PLENTY of empty boxes and stuff. Also, the Container Store is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE!!
God I loved the way they reassured each other, especially when she hit a wall, and he reminded her of why they were doing it. You guys are so cute, and lifting each other up. This made me so happy. 😁😁
It's very important to not buy any storage solutions until you've finished the method. That should be the fun part at the end and you'll also recognize that you don't need that much storage solutions anymore.
Yep, the best advice I ever got was... Don't buy more storage items for your stuff. Get rid of stuff so you don't need storage space.
The best part I think is when you minimise so much you can get rid of extra furniture like a chest of drawers, a wardrobe or a bookcase.
Your boyfriends hair is something dreams are made of
I'm jealous every day. Those natural curls!!!
or nightmares.
@@catherinebronte3645 yeah looks fucking gay.
@Sid Sidney Pff even if i am Gay his hair still looks gay and stupid. Every maroc 14 year old has this hair cut.
Reminds me of Lyle Lovett......only this guy is way cuter.......but still.....
Stop buying. Sleep on it and think do I really need it.
Or support your local library and check it out there.
Agreed. I used to make impulse buys all the time, but now I stop and at least think about whether I really need it at the time or not. Helps save some money for sure
Wait...are you suggesting we steal it? you have to buy it to bring it home to sleep on it. It would be awkward to sleep on it in the store.
@NorthernLights Agreed! I Looked at a teapot for 6 months once before I bought it because it was fairly costly and I wanted to make sure I really really wanted it.
A lot of times I get something and sit with it for a few days and then return it if I don't decide it's worth it. I hate leaving something to sleep on, deciding I really love it, and returning to find it gone! DX
"Outer order is inner calm", i don't remember where I heard it, but it stayed with me
Outer order, inner calm by Gretchen Rubin
Zero waste chef said that, that be don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly, but thousand of people doing it imperfectly.
My favorite adage is "Progress, not perfection."
Yes! Exactly. I try to use less plastic, recycle more and be more energy efficient. But I dont let myself stress over it. If everyone did as much as I did this world would be great. Some people do it WAY better, others don't do anything at all.
Unopened, expired stuff from the kitchen may not necessarily be bad and someone who is hungry would love to have it. Sometimes we buy multiples of stuff on sale only to find out we do not like it, those as well can be donated to a local food kitchen. Let's not unnecessarily fill up the dump while helping out our neighbor.
@@kathyaldridge7171 yes! anything worth doing is worth doing badly. it's better to brush your teeth for a few seconds than not brushing it at all, or working out in just a minute is better than not working out at all!
who said they threw what they want in the garbage. Most of mine went to Goodwiil, Value Village, Home for Rehabitats, etc. Even all my old sheets and towels were taken by the Humane Society.
My daughter kept her favorite t shirts and made a blanket out of them. It’s super cute and useful.
Such a neat idea! I was going to frame mine and have an art collage wall, but that's cluttering walls I don't really have and then they've just been collecting dust 🤣
That man is a whole nother level . PERIOD
Kalie Bucco Everyone praises the man. But no one seems to praise the woman. 😳
That's in the movie TWILIGHT. LOL.
For my anime t-shirts I've turned them into pillows,cause they tend to not fit over time,but I'm still in love with them
Wow!
We should do KonMarie method with friends and family. 😬 Say thanks and goodbye.🙋
Agree
This is one of the absolute BEST KonMari declutters on the internet.
this feels like another episode in the netflix series that was never added.... absolutely LOVED this!!!!
You are so lucky to have such an amazing partner to do this with. I think most of the guys would think this was unnecessary and silly girl stuff. He is so great for actually getting it. ❤
I usually end up doing all our house by myself. I have 5 kids. I tend to give up and lose steam after a couple of weeks. My office is in desperate need but I cannot bring myself to do it.
@@sabatham Wow, you're truly amazing for even trying. I'm sure you're doing the best you can. That's all any of us can do. You shouldn't put pressure on yourself. Take the time for yourself too. It's important. All the best to you and your family!
@@AMTO1834 thanks! I loved seeing her husband work alongside her. My husband probably would as well if he had time. Declutter videos are so fun to watch, but so nice to see a partnership like in this video!
@@sabatham Yes, then it's even more enjoyable.
Alex BePositive that’s what I’m saying ! I need s man like that in my life
I'm too poor for this method but I do use it as inspiration. I love her show. I can't afford to throw away makeup so when I went thru my stuff, I got all the stuff I didn't really love and have started using it all exclusively and not buying anything new unless I need it, like mascara and foundation.
With my clothes, my walking shoes don't spark joy but I can't afford to buy ones I like so I keep them cuz I need them.
My hygiene stuff was getting out of hand as well. IDK how to acquired so many samples. So I started only using my samples to wash my hair, face, body or lotion and such. I've gotten so much space back now that I've been doing this. It really helps.
Yes. I agree with you when I was on a low income I had to keep stuff... But like you say there are some things that are possible. I didn't buy lots of storage used what I had and covered cardboard boxes with wrapping paper. Good luck. Xx
Use all that you have first. Don't buy anything before finishing off all that you current have. Then buy only the ones that you love and will use( ☝make up).
Keep what you'll need. Sort out the wants. And buy less in general.
I live off the hotel samples my dad gives me from his business trips
I understand, I am disabled after an acute stroke and my #SS is 6,000 a year. While, I see we cannot afford to go buy the organizational stuff...if we are not using certain makeup items maybe we feel guilt in wasting money but we weren't using it anyways. We cannot replace like others because of our incomes, but in some ways I think for those that are low income it makes even more sense for us to do this because we don't have a disposable income like the rest of the population does.
Such a great idea!
That mans hair is on A-WHOLE-NOTHER LEVEL 😍😍
ya the second floor.
Catherine Bronte nuh uh, the attic
That man is a whole nother level . PERIOD.
The clothes blew me away.....I have 38 pieces of clothing (plus underwear/outerwear/footwear). I just can't imagine having to go through all that stuff! I started decluttering my home a year ago using a different method. I didn't really own a whole lot to start with but was still able to remove several boxes of stuff. My place is very simple, very organized and easy to clean. I can't even imagine how you guys must feel as your transition was so drastic!
I'm from another generation and the amount of clothing and "things" in general people have is mind blowing. I'm guilty of spending excesses when I no longer had dependents and felt I deserved to "treat myself", but soon realized stuff doesn't make me happy, but weighs me down emotionally. Plus, every $10, $25, etc spent impulsively adds up to taking thousands away from living the retirement I wanted. I'm much happier now with less and having people and experiences to fill my life. Just sayin', as they (used to) say, kids. :-)
I dont have a lot of clothes bc I go through it and get rid of stuff. But I also have a husband and 4 kids so I cant imagine going through all the clothes in the house at one time lol
And out of ALL those clothes, she chose to keep those ripped jeans. 😂
Hi, I'm a single mum and have been decluttering all on my own... I hit a wall, like you did and your vlog has really helped me to keep going. I enjoyed watching, too... and I recieved my free two month with skill share. Thank you! Xx
Ysemay Frampton yay I love to hear that!!! You’ve got this!
I love purging my house. My husband gets scared when I get the urge to do another sweep 😁. Now if only my parents would set me free in their house.
Yessssd! I adore doing this💗
Actually, the first time is always the worst. thats why i chose to do the big decluttering in steps and the more often i did get rid of things again and again (no buying in the meantime) the more joy it does! Now its smtg i love, because its actually easy with the amount i have.
I myself felt overwhelmed when seeing how much stuff they had before decluttering. Lol..Well, personally, I think this is the most satisfying video on decluttering I've ever watched. You've just inspired me to let go of stuff that I don't need without mercy. Thank you!
Yes, I get totally overwhelmed just looking at the thumbnail. Exhausted, too. I couldn't handle messing my house up to do the process. I ended up starting a slower method. Visible surfaces in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom first. That already felt satisfying. Then, each weekend I take on a hidden area. Just one. Honestly, when I had aimed somewhat at this method before, I end up with stacks of things all around my house for a month and get so shut down that I ended up looking like a hoarder. When I do it slow and steady everything stays in its space and I do a more minimalist process from there.
For anyone looking to do this type deep declutter, please look in to your local emergency shelters/homeless shelters. Many of these places will accept open bath products such as soap, shampoo and lotion for their clients in need!
It's interesting how some people are very sentimental and some are practical. Good job girl!
“What are you doing... living under a rock?” 😂 😂 😂 The fake rock was hilarious.
Yes, and today is my first day of .....ever hearing about this. Its not for me but interesting that it's even a thing
I love how they look at each other. It’s cool to see two people that you know are best friends in a relationship ❤️❤️
Your little dog watching all the action surrounded by all the clothes......i cant even....so cute. He was like " they have all lost thier minds". Lol
This is what consumerism looks like.... thank God you both did conmari method.. the earth will love you !!
This is by far the most realistic (real life, real struggle) decluttering video I’ve watched. You guys are someone I can absolutely relate to in every way and I feel ready to make a change and tackle my own clutter! Thank You!
I prefer buying storage containers from The Dollar Tree, Menards, Walmart, Target, and Amazon. The Container Store has a lot of great stuff, don't get me wrong, but it tends to be much pricier. The end result looks great though, so I'm not trying to minimize your effort. Just a tip for the future to help save money.
Nicole LaFevre or even a tip for others trying to organize on a smaller budget❤️❤️
"Sustainability" = taking care of what you have and doing without unless it's absolutely necessary. A lesson our forebears knew all too well. But then they called it "stewardship" or "practicality", or separating out the important from the unimportant. Some lessons are axioms, and good ones never die, but resurrect in different forms. Enjoyed your video.
Some years ago, mid 1980s, I was in the middle of laundry when my parents visited. My mother was under a lot of stress as I ironed all my shirts - she never had to sit and do nothing to help. As I checked each shirt I found the collar and/or cuffs worn through completely. So I dumped it on the floor. The pile grew as I inspected each shirt. Seventeen shirts later and not one ironed! Poor Mum - her instinct was to mend them. She used to turn the collars on working shirts and cut back and mend damaged cuffs. Some shirts even came with spare collars in the 1950s!
As I cycled through my clothes everything had given out at exactly the same time. After that I decided to have only three shirts. The cycling through is faster. They wear out faster and I get three new ones. I also reduced my colour choice to white only. Classic cut, white, collared and smart. Wear with anything and for any occasion and one less puzzle what colour combinations to pick.
Little steps.
I love videos like this. The houses aren’t necessarily dirty it’s just clutter.
Its so awesome that you have discovered these methods at your age and have such cooperation between yourselves to accomplish the tasks needed to have order and simplicity in your lives! Congratulations!! This will follow you and will continue to apply in many areas of your lives. AM proud of you both!!!!! You are a lovely couple!!
Anita Smith ❤️
You did a great job with sticking to the actual KonMari method. A lot of “KonMari” decluttering videos don’t even following the method at all. And you guys work together so well. Great teamwork!!!!
-- Moves onto Papers
-- Sees car & student loan payments, taxes, medical bills...
-- "Does it bring you joy?"
Garbage can -- 👁️👄👁️
Shred that stuff first!
WinterCamryn Good point. Answer: Heck No. Shredder time once I have the final paperwork that shows the debt is paid off.
Hahaha
Recycling bin maybe? If you have recycling services available. Also paper scraps are compostable ❤️
I was saying "yeah! yeah! oh yeah!" and then it came to books.... NOPE! I LOVE my books, they bring me joy lol... all of them lol
I just want to say that you don't have to buy a single container to do this, it's nice for the final "optimization stage", but especially if it's a lot of money at once you can skip it.
I watched a lot (and I mean A LOT) of this type of videos, and yours' definitely one of the best I've seen :)
Angelina Kharsun thank you thank you!!
You guys are adorable, very suportive and you two work great together! You are an amazing inspiration. Best wishes!
It is really nice that not one of you but both of you were committed to it, u went through every decluttering together... And I think it made declutter way easier than it could have been ...
I keep re-watching this video because it really inspires me when I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Man the mental anguish that our belongings cause us just proves how necessary this process is! Every single one of these that I've ever watched there's a definite mental wall people hit a certain point. The pile of stuff is just completely overwhelming to deal with. The best analogy I've heard to push past this is "If you saw a brain surgery half-way through, it would probably look like a mistake as well."
I have watched this no joke 20 times. I put it on when I clean/declutter/do stuff in the house and you two are such nice company
If I can say one thing to anyone trying this is: get your partner involved ! My husband and I did KM almost four years ago when I was super depressed. There were days I didn’t feel like continuing to do it and my husband was like get up, we said we’d do Medicine today we’re doing medicine. It was so critical to not do it alone and that way we tackled our entire house and were on the same page about what stayed and what went.
KonMari literally cured my depression that year because I am a stay at home mom and my space was DEPRESSING. It took us a year to fully finish KM but it was so worth it
Nowadays, i declutter to reduce stress and a lot of people say “it’s not that messy” and I’m like “oh yes it is, do you not know what this could become !?!?”
You should’ve seen how I lived before 🎻🎻🎻😱😱
All that to say I’m so glad you did this with each other !!! 🥰🥰
Also I love KM folding my clothes. Some things from her book I didn’t keep (though I tried every suggestion for two weeks to see how I liked it) but KM folding is the bomb. And I’m legit triggered when I see rolled up sock balls in ppls drawers now !
It was so worth it. Andie did such a good job.
This is amazing. I have been so overwhelmed for years living in clutter after a break-up and inheriting my parents stuff. It's nice that you are normal lol and makes me feel it's possible. Thank you xx
Finally!!! A KonMari related video that is HONEST. I never understood those videos of people who were acting like they were overwhemed, in an already clutter free environment ! I believe my amount of "before" clothing is closest to yours, so now I believe I can actually succeed ;) Thank YOU!
I just wanted to say thank you for posting this video! I think you both are so brave to show such raw footage of what your home looks like and you both did a wonderful job!
And if you are wondering why this post is happening now...it’s because I was living under a rock. I did not know who Marie Kondo was until yesterday but I am excited to report that you and Marie kondo have inspired me to konmari my room!
This video is amazing! I had started my KonMari journey, but got so overwhelmed just doing my clothes and took a break, and didn’t finish.
You video has inspired me to get back at it so I don’t feel suffocated trying to find an outfit each morning.
I love her man and how he is so into this process! Most men are NOT into it. My bf is super uninterested and actually really grumpy, not playful about these things, not having it...which is why I can’t live with him.
i like how Doggie is sitting in the midst of the clothing pile being entertained and enjoying the process.
Thank you for addressing not wanting to add to the waste stream, because that is a BIG deal for me! I needed that perspective--that the dismay I have at my wastefulness right now is what is changing how I do things from now on.
I had a similar problem with my mother and her boyfriend, who served time in the military. He had a bunch of friends who passed away. Being that, he also accumulated a lot of memorabilia from his fallen comrades. I suggested that he clean the place once, but gave me a look that I won’t forget.
Shortly thereafter, during a small stint at a reunion for fallen soldiers, I called for the services of Jux Los Angeles, a garage and attic cleaning / reorganization company, based in southern a California. My mother’s boyfriend wasn’t pleased with what I had done at first. As a week passed by since the renovation, much to his chagrin, he had to tell me that the place looked so different and that now, he has a place where he can honor his brothers and sisters; in his garage ( I made it extra special and hung up some uniforms his comrades wore on the garage walls…)
Shoe boxes, and believe it or not, the clear boxes salad greens come in, big and small, work beautifully!
I saw a comment about how certain bugs/rodents eat the cardboard/glue in shoe boxes so they're not ideal for storage if your area has those critters, but the plastic of salad green boxes and other foods which I never thought to keep would also work great and likely not have that problem! Thanks for your comment ♥
I like the fact that both of you work as a team! Great job!
This is so cool that the guy (husband/boyfriend? I don't know as it's my first time watching this) participates in the process. And he is so supportive.
This is my 5th time watching this while I clean. This is the beat konmarie clean on UA-cam!!
Wow! What an amazing declutter. One of the best Kon Marie declutters I've seen and I watch them all. Hee Hee.. You two are adorable together. I subscribed today and can't wait to see the entire tour.
You are so underrated, I don’t know why
Thalia Tolentino she’s seriously the best and all we can do is keep sharing her content til she takes off. 😍
Honestly I like this video so much that this is now the 10th+ time that I'm going to watch it, Marie would be proud
All I can think of you should go to dollar tree for storage containers would save so much money lol
Good Will usually has baskets that would work well too
I have a bunch of huge bins from Goodwill. Love them!
I have gone to Family Dollar and couldn't find containers that were strong. I have Bella containers that broke easily and container store containers have not become broken.
@@effytraveler6155 really I organize my whole house with dollar tree stuff I don't have an tissue...I guess depends on what you put in and the types of containers.
Or just use old shoeboxes or something.
I started doing this but I started to get anxious as well looking at all the clothes. I quickly realized there are certain clothes I wear often and others I have because I got a good deal on them due to thrifting. After watching this video I am motivated again😀
Danielle Sanders that makes me so happy! It’s definitely NOT an easy process and I wish more people were talking about that. But if you can get through it, it’s SO rewarding!!
Wow that closet transformation was inspiring.
Great teamwork, u 2. If I may say so, your doing great. I'm quite a bit older than u & I appreciate how u "do it". You said it before, use boxes & what u have instead of buying "more stuff". Anyway, it's done, it's over...I'm proud of you both. Good job.
Honestly I love you guys' energy so much
Thank you for this video! You made yourselves so vulnerable and that is brought to your viewers at a cost to you emotionally and physically. Just wanted you to know it's appreciated and beneficial! Thank you @It's Me, Andie!
Diane Anderson thank you for your kind comment! ❤️
Your boyfriend is so handsome and have a nice smile. Good on you ❤️👍🙆🌄
The way he looks at her ... that's real magic guys 😍
Couple goals right there. You two are so awesome together and compliment each other so well. Congrats on the incredible Kondo-experience. You make it seam so worth it while still being realistic and authentic. I just got another level of appreciation for the content you give to us. THANK YOU 😊
11:11 I like those yellow school lockers behind them, so cool 😄✨
I nearly had a nervous breakdown trying to declutter before packing up my stuff and moving to another country and having this on in the background while sorting through my stuff really helped. Thank you!
I don’t know how old or new this video is but perfect timing for me to see it as I’m having to de clutter my home ready to downsize for health reasons & it has been/is an emotional process for me & my poor daughters who don’t live in my city but have each come to try help me they all are different how they have gone about it & I have been a wreck but hearing some of the things you talked about echoed my words & ive watched your video all the way through & am ready willing & hopefully able to get up & tackle the rest of it thank you for sharing
I don’t know how this one has differed from the other declutter videos I’ve watched but this one actually inspired me to do it
Aurora D. Yeah, they have a lot of stuff like I do. Takes a lot of courage.
Girl your highlight is POPPIN in this video 😍😍😍
This video is so satisfying btw lol
Thank you!!!! BECCA Champagne Pop, girl!!
I loved your video! Really funny and simply explained too! Its so good you mentioned the part when you are really struggling because most of the time you just get to see the part where people clean and they are really happy afterwards. Its important to know its really a project and maybe if you dont feel at your best health you should chill with the decluttering until youre feeling better 👍
I am also learning from watching Joshua Becker and the Minimal Mom is to always stop when you are feeling completely overwhelmed. If I push myself too hard, I shut down and say “to hell with it”. So stopped and recharging has helped me a lot!
They are also very gentle like Marie
Also, I LOVE the container store, but Walmart or even the Dollar Tree are excellent places to buy organizers too 🌹
"Contemplates Life". Currently cleaning my office and I felt that to my core. Awesome job guys!! 😍
Throwing stuff away because it is expired. That’s a hard one to hear on so many videos. And, i still love watching these videos, so inspiring! 🤗
Very nice video, very satisfying. And I love the way he looks at her, we can feel the love through the screen! You are adorable together :)
I’m always amazed how many clothes people have......like wow!
PS- The kitchen looks awesome
I know that this is 7 Mos ago, however, I am just watching and SOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU TWO.. I was ON "VACATION" and got rid of over , well over 600 items. Thank you all . Trust me , I still have a ways to go , but I feel AMAZING!
A Terrainye Hicks thank you!!!!
I don't know what you did just there but magically a pile of books just disappeared off my bookshelf into my 'donate to the local library' pile. There are more to follow. Thank you.
Wow this is beyond amazing. I have to do this soon.
I really enjoyed your process. Thanks for letting us in on the journey. I watched it on our big screen with our 19 year old son, and we really wanted to hear what your man has to say. We feel like by min 20 he said 4 complete sentences. Your man didn’t get a chance to say very much. And that was very uncomfortable to watch. My son said it’s called “bulldozing” He also said, “well this is her Chanel and we know that he is mostly an accessory.” And also asked me why it mattered so much. And I said, maybe this means I am not letting my husband speak as much as he can and I actually want him to because he has so much gold to say, when I let him. So thank you for helping me see the areas I need to update and change in my life. Along with the Konmari.
cleaning together is always the best
Loved this video so much! I cleaned out my clothes over one year ago and it really changed my shopping habits, now I know what I have and what I need 😍
Really good job.
Write expiration dates in chalk marker on your containers.
Also, I love my spices being in alphabetical order, it makes it so easy to find something.
I did it, I took 9 car full and I mean full, to the tip, books were my hardest to let go, but I did, also cleared out furniture. X
I always think that I have so much and then when I see other peoples homes, I see that I don’t. But no matter how little you have ,you still have to go through this, so thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it.
I wish you had DIY'ed dividers or repurposed boxes like you mentioned instead of buying them but overall I really liked the video.
Have you noticed how much BETTER you both look? Like you now care for yourselves or something. Skin, grooming, weight, eyes. purging works on SO many levels. sweet
I so appreciate you including the moment in the bathroom where you said "I am going to start this right now" and then sat there a few minutes. I'm in the middle of cleaning my room that I let go wayyyyy too long and I definitely feel that feeling.
The two of you are definitely amongst the cutest couples I have ever seen! Absolutely adorable! I JUST finished clothing and I was mortified at my pile, but your pile was epic! It's really good that there's two of you to bounce off of and uplift each other. It's harder on your own, but STILL DOABLE! Cheers on your efforts! First time watching! I'll be back!
I am a fairly organized person and did the Konmari method a few years ago and have been able to maintain it. I still like to look at Konmari videos (weird, right?) and they keep me motivated and give me new ideas. I watch a lot of them and I have to say that this is my favorite! I just love you two and it was fun watching this. Hope to see more content like this from you (ie: your process for changing out the furniture you are talking about replacing, keeping up with the tidying, etc) Great video, cute couple!
wow his beard is so perfect😍
This is by far one of the best "Konmari Method" videos I have seen
