My mom taught me to wash everything before using it (clothes, kitchen items, linen, towels, etc)
I so happy to learn I am not the only one that washes everything before using them.
I was taught by my grandma to wash everything brought home from any store or yard sale. I want the things clean and to smell how I want them to smell.
Ewwww yes team wash everything! I cannot imagine using bedsheets straight from the package 🤢
I wash everything I get from the store before I use it too. I just picture people manhandling stuff. Lol.
Me too. LOL
I am with you. Anything i buy i have to wash before i use it. You never know what other people have on there hands.
Yes, I wash everything! It's something that I recall as a kid hearing that you have no idea how long or where store items have been but most likely some dark, dirty rodent infested warehouse. (yuck!)
I absolutely wash all dishes, jars, kitchen stuff AND clothes. You are NOT crazy to want to know things are clean before using!
Oh, definitely! 😅
I would always vacuum the cabinets first before wiping them, less messy and you can just use a dish cloth rather than wasting paper towels xx
As someone who work in retail for a long time, washing things before use is a must! When I work on truck (processing and stocking new stuff) everything smells really strong of chemicals when it comes it, also a lot of hands touch your stuff before you buy it. I wash everything even things like home decor.
New subscriber. Your videos and talking about anxiety and depression are so helpful. I'm with you 100% about washing new things. I don't know how or why people don't wash new items. Think about the process at a sewing factory, how many hands work on sheets, clothes, towels, etc. Things get thrown in boxes or carts and passed to the next person to sew their part, handled to pack them, and how many people in a store touch, try on, take home, and return things, plus as you mentioned, dyes, chemicals, and new fabric. Anything fabric gets washed twice at our house to remove all these things and make things soft and fresh. Anything kitchen goes through the dishwasher just like you did.
Hi Debbie! Welcome to the journey and the community here! Thank you for subscribing! Yes I agree with all that you said. It gives me goosebumps thinking about all of that. I have to wash it or I itch. lol! Stay Mighty & God bless!
Love how you basically gave yourself a new kitchen by just cleaning up and reorganizing what you love and use all the time! A day well spent!
We keep the seasonal dishes and mugs with the seasonal decor. That way we don’t forget to use them
Thats a great idea!!♡ TYSM for being here Kelly!♡
Do you watch The Minimal Mom? She talks about the “onion method,” peeling away at the inventory in your home a layer at a time.
Yes, that's my favorite decluttering method! How to get your Sh*t together on UA-cam calls it the wave method.
Well, I have a huge bags of onion. Hahaha
@@jamiepan7650 🤣
Yes i love the minimal mom!
It’s all about that analogy of peeling of the onion with minimalism. Once you get deeper it gets so much harder, but the feeling of relief when you declutter the hard stuff is even more amazing than the first layer, if that makes sense 🤪
And once you're true all that, it gets easier to keep up with everything!
@@JT-yc7ud Exactly! It’s just maintenance
Everything you are, I can totally relate. It’s so true that you’d gotta put a lot of effort to keep going. We’re mommas so no matter what we have to be stronger mentally, physically and emotionally because it would be much more exhausting and suffocating to be surrounded with mess for depressed and at the same time OCD individuals like us. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, gorgeous! We got this! 🤍
I wash everything from the stores as well. Good habit. Germs are everywhere. From a Registered Nurse.
I'm on my minimalism Journey too...so far have organized and cleaned my room, closet, restroom, laundry room, pantry...and now I need my kids rooms and rest of kitchen cabinets. Sometimes I feel discouraged but then remember all the progress I've made.
I love how the spice jars look at the end! So chic! I really needed this motivation to do my spice cabinet... we'll see if it happens.. lol
lol Mrs. Whisk ;)
Hi kim!
Hey bestie! 😀😀😀
I declutter about every 5 years, because my life changes. To prevent regret, wait about a month before giving everything away. With many things, you can always buy them again.
I like using the quarantine box for that. If after 30 days I haven't pulled it back out of the box, it can go.
Decluttering is ongoing. What I really enjoy now, may change in the years to come. If you love those coffee mugs, keep 'em & enjoy them!
I love all the things you are saying. Having the items who bring me joy and memories and to hold them in my hands is so healthy for me. But I also love there to be air and space around the items. It makes me feel calmer and it lets the item really shine and be seen.
I love that you create a moment for yourself when you have your tea and pick a mug that goes along with it.
Most of my mugs I can't get rid of, & it's because Adam's mom bought them for me. 💜 I don't drink coffee anymore, but I still use them. Every single one. They mean a lot to me, since they were gifts from someone who is gone. 🥰
I always wash everything that comes from the store! Cups, utensils, pota/pants, towels, bed linens, you name it! Thats how my mom did it, so until I was an adult I didn't realize that there are people who don't do it 😅
Yes, of course you are NOT crazy!!! Wash everything new!! I keep an ongoing declutter and my son who moved out a year ago comes by to visit and go through the declutter to see if there’s anything in there that he can use for his new home. The rest I donate to the church or to the blessing box for other people to use.
I'm loving how real you are with depression and axiety and how honest you are with how your house look keep it up mama your doing great you definitely got me cleaning with you.
For holiday/seasonal stuff, store it with your seasonal decorations! And like everything. If you have seasonal clothes like an ugly Christmas sweater. Or fall kitchen towels. Then when you go get out the decorations, it’s there and ready for you to use, but not taking up space in the spaces you use everyday.
Yes!! I heard this idea before, and I love it! I don't have much seasonal items, but even so, I love having my Christmas mugs with the Christmas decor. That way I don't forget to use them😊. And when I clean up after the holidays it's so easy to store everything in one tote😊
Hello Mighty Mamas & Mighty People! I am back with another Messy to Minimal! I know so many of you have been requesting for these videos! I plan on bring more of them and more often. I am sorry I couldn't get this one posted earlier today. It just didn't go as planned. I hope that this video meets you this evening or early Monday morning to kick off your new week with motivation to clean, declutter and organize your spaces with me! Be sure to watch through to the end for the satisfying result! I am so happy with how this spice cabinet turned out. Thank you all for being here! I am praying for you every day with my devotional time. Stay Mighty & God bless! xo
I'm so happy to see another messy OCD person. I struggle with it so bad. I procrastinate because I want it perfect.
I’m on team wash! I love that you show how you do things, for instance lining the shelf. It is so helpful.
I keep a few Christmas mugs stored together with the Christmas decorations. That way they're not taking up space in my kitchen the rest of the year. But I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping memorabilia if it's something you look at often or use. To me, minimalism doesn't necessarily mean owning the minimal of absolute everything or only own stuff that matches each other.
For a larger work area, remove as much as possible from your counter top. Stack your individual coffee containers in a box in the fridge.
The no music -asmr is way better in my opinion. I usually end up muting the volume on videos that play music because it's just a little too much overstimulation for me! 😆🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for your feedback! I like it too. And I can understand. I try to play more relaxing music on my videos because I am a person who is easily overstimulated by noise as well. Thanks for being here for me! Stay Mighty! xo
I moved in with my best friend in October, into the home she'd been living in with her father who passed a few years ago. The first thing I did was decide we had to go through all the cabinets to get rid of anything old, expired, unused, etc, and clean everything out. We then embarked on a cleaning/decluttering spree, that is, when we had the time and energy lol. It's made a huge difference and the more that gets done the better I feel. :)
Yes! Must wash everything when brought into the house before use.
Hang the decorative tea saucers on the wall. Hanging racks can be found online.
When going minimalist remember, it's okay to try things in different places. It's free to move and live on a bit and if it doesn't work out you can put it back! No harm, no foul. Try stuff...you might like it.
I’m exactly the same way…. Wash everything! Few people know this but clothing, well actually all material goods contain formaldehyde to prevent bugs infestation during overseas shipping. So with that being said…. Ummm definitely wash everything before you wear it, sleep in it, do anything with it. You are not alone and you certainly are not crazy!!! 😍😀👌
I was soooo happy when you said you keep several mugs. I use several things depending on my mood, time of the day, season, ... and therefore find it impossible to keep on to just one or two cups. I simply cannot live like that! Yes, it takes up more space but I have it all organized and neat in the cupboards. Sometimes, when I need something from the back, it can take some time, but I don't mind.
With scissors, take one long swipe at a time - fewer jagged edges. Especially with fabric.
I had the same desire to line up my labels! I ended up putting clear tape that lined up with the top of the bottle, and then put the label precisely under the bottom edge of the tape. Removed the tape, and voila, they are all perfect!
Great idea!♡
I love how you talked about your coffee mugs. I feel the same way. Thank you for your kindness and keeping it real.
The transformation is awesome - well done! Washing before first use is usually recommended, but I rarely bother. Yes to ASMR - this was funny too - no to howling music. Yes to thinking loud about decluttering, no to lengthy background stories.
Also, I buy a mug at every city I visit ( London, Paris...) and I love using them, because, just like you, it puts me back to the place and triggers memories. I display mine on the dining room side board.☕
There are a lot of decluttering videos on UA-cam, but your channel is one of the few that really comes across as someone going through a real life journey. Thank you for sharing, and I'm rooting for you with every small decluttering step you take! It really does make such a difference for peace of mind. Looking forward to following the rest of your journey.
Hey Jackie! Thank you so much! You made me smile today! I appreciate you so much!♡
I’m in mighty momma video heaven as usual 😂 💗. I must add that you have an awesome hidden talent I see. The way you used double mugs to measure to the next cabinet shelf and watching you move a simple cup up, down, around lol. Very smart woman you are and I’ve never doubted that in you 🤗 💪. Still watching 😂, need these ideas. I always relate to your words and daily flow. Enjoy your day!
Your channel is literally helping save my life😭🙏🏻 Thank you
My husband is like you with the prewashing before use of anything. I’m not as sensitive and I can use things out of the package. No, you’re not weird. 😊
Absolutely wash everything new, you never know where it has been or what it has touched (or been touched by). I would recommend you write the expiry date on each jar with a sharpie, you can wipe it off with rubbing alcohol when you refill and write the new date.
i have been on a purging/minimalist/simplifying mind set for almost a year. I have done 3 passes in my closet and 2 in my pantry and I'm sure there will be more passes to come. Let's not try to be perfect, just less cluttered and allowing our brains to be more comfortable and at peace in our living space. Keep it up!
There is 100% a difference with "hoarding" items, and keeping sentimental items. I myself love mugs, I get them gifted to me for holidays etc. Coffee mugs are a weakness lol. But this minimal experience is to make you happy. And if it hurts your heart to get rid of things then don't push yourself to do so. Revisit the idea in a few months etc. You've given me so much motivation with my minimalism journey!
I do love to listen to ASMR while I clean 💕 my favourite is ATMOSPHERE - the creator has built her own world and it’s pretty amazing.
I also have to wash everything when it's new. LOL. I'm so glad to know someone else does that too!
You did a fantastic job. Who doesn’t want their cabinet to look like that? Your kitchen is very 😊 nice.
I also clean, wash or disinfect everything brand new before using it. My mum always says that you never know how this item was treated before, who touched it or how clean the machines were that made it. So same here! Especially everything that I or my family wears or sleeps in.
So true!
Just know, true minimalism isn't anything to do with an aesthetic. It is about keeping only the things you use and love. If those things are colorful and "nonaesthetic", that's ok! Definitely let go of excess, that extra inventory in your home is causing you more anxiety than you may realize. You will appreciate that more the longer you practice it. Keep up the good work! You've got this!
I've been stuck at home in quarantine so I have been tackling mini projects here and there. Cleaned the back porch, cleaned out two totes in my closet. I found the manual I was looking for.
I'm a mug snob too 🤣
I'm so particular about what I use for my morning coffee, truly a vibe of the day choice. Lol
But my hubby also brings back mugs from his work travels so there are definitely special ones to me.
While I was watching your video, I paused it long enough to clean out my mug cupboard, and then my spice cupboard. They weren't too bad, but had gotten a bit messy. I threw away one empty vanilla bottle and a few pepper packets from some salad kits that I new I wouldn't use.
Yes - I wash everything too... You just never know. The spice rack looks amazing. I keep eyeing that set off on Amazon since I cleaned out mine in a recent decluttering video - but I haven't bitten the bullet.... I don't know what is holding me back? lol. They look great. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤️ Mel in Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨
It looks great! Thank you for sharing. I’m in a rental apt and have 2 single cabinets; not much room but being a minimalist will make it work.
Hi! Thank you so much for being here! Wow! 2 cabinets! I would love to live that way! You are inspiring! Stay Mighty & God bless!
I am in an apt as well. I just ordered a narrow kitchen cart on wheels and solid doors to have more room for items that are taking up my counter space. I also got over-the door hanging shelves for the coat closet by my front door for other things. Suggestion.. use a level and exacto knife and slice the labels so they are even.
I like hearing the real noises of kids and home life :) my house is crazy loud with little ones and I like hearing other people’s too so I don’t feel so weird lol
I always wash brand new clothes and used from thrift store. I always wash new linens too. If you read packaging it say wash before use. So you aren't crazy.
I absolutely wash everything I get from stores as well. You have to think, these things come from factories or go through many hands and then sit in a store or warehouse. Who knows what has touched it. Happy to know we’re not the only ones that are like this!
EVERYTHING gets washed before using them. I am like you. Plus I've worked in retail and there are certain things packed with clothes and such to prevent bugs. So yes it is highly recommended to wash everything you get first.
Great video. Yes, I wash everything! Even the cans of fruits, veggies, etc.....you never know what might have been crawling on them, then as you open them the liquid seeps onto the lid......yuck.
Very well done 👏 .. I loved this cabinet makeover ❤️ would love to watch more declutter videos and new makeover of each part of your house 😊God bless you always
I am on this journey with you!!! It has been amazing making my home feel better. So one thing that you can do with the mug that you don't want to part with you can do a quarantine box for the ones you don't use and if you don't miss them after a certain time then you can donate them. Also another thing that has helped me is having a box for every one in the family for the sentimental items that you can hold on to it.
In one of my cabinets, I reduced the number of shelves from 3 to 2 - to get them the right height for my items - and it works great.
Great video as usual! Thanks!
Oh! You did that too!
Lol! Yep! I loved the result! Thanks for being here!♡
The cabinets look so nice. I am sure you feel pleased everytime you open the doors. 👍🏾❤❤❤
Mighty Mama very proud of you!
Amazing job! Blessing's in your day. 🙏. You're doing good! You're doing great!
One nice thing about having pretty spice jars is that you can then refill them at a bulk shop! It's helped me to reduce my plastic consumption
The spices look so good. I’m fixing to reorganize a spice section in my pantry when I get back from Texas. Yesss to the turntables. They are the best!
I too love the wizard of oz. I tell my son that my cheezy movies are just “classic”.🤣
I so enjoy watching you sort out and declutter xx
I am so enjoying your guidance & wonderful comments. You are inspiring me to continue my decluttering processes. Just moved & it is a huge motivation. I am just now working on my spice shelf. YEEHAW to you!!! :)
Re: spices, I am lucky to live near stores that have spice bulk bins so no decanting (I bring the empty jar to the store, weigh it, fill with amount of spice I want, then weigh it again. The cashier uses the weights to remove the weight of the jar in the final price (remove the tare). It's very economical and no stash of containers to refill from. I used jam jars with round labels from $tree that fit the lids. I like to cook so wound up with 60+ jars. Definitely not a minimalist kitchen. I really like the uniformity, too.
The struggle is SO real! I thought it would be so easy to throw away stuff and voila! my cabinets would be magically in order. I was so wrong! Just deciding what to get rid of made me hyperventilate!
you could use a marker crayola or dry erase and ruler to make a line to follow then wipe off or use masking or washi tape
Thank you so much for what you are doing on your channel! It is amazing to be able to see a real house as it is transformed but also see the effort too. I've been dealing with the trauma & anxiety of losing my mom suddenly last October & it has been nice having someone put words to why I can't seem to get myself motivated to get things in order for so long. I'm thankfully on my minimalism journey & am motivated & am hopeful to even help my Dad go through some of the things at his house too. Also, I have done the spice decanting & I do find myself going back to just look at it every now & then. Keep up the amazing work & thank you for everything you do. ❤
Hey girl! Thank you for sharing your heart and being here for me too! I am deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom when I was 8 and its a whole that can never be filled. I miss her everyday of this difficult life but they qould want us to press on and be happy. I will pray for you and your Dad. Great job staying Mighty and getting things done. Don't allow the enemy to use your sadness to hold you down. Keep moving forward and with every minute that passes you will find more strength through God. He will carry you through if you keep that faith! I appreciate you being here. I need you all to keep me motivated on this journey as well! The struggle is real but I know the less we have to manage the happier we will be! I jabe a lomg road ahead but I am all about Real Life Minimalism. And what that actually looks like from the start. My minimalism may be different from the typical minimalist but the end goal is to have less and feel free from clutter! We can all create our own result as that suits our needs and likings. I am just here to help motivate those who need it like myself. Thanks so much for being here! Stay Mighty & God bless! 🙏💪🦋🤎
@@MightyMama ❤❤❤❤
I so get the mug thing. Some of mine are good memories, seasonal or certain drinks. Keep what you love
I get where you coming from I’m the same way with my coffee mugs what I do the season mugs I keep in my season containers and the one that I’m attach I keep in decor wicker basket on top of my kitchen cabinets it works for me good luck on your journey I’ll be watching all step of the way supporting your channel and getting inspired 😀
I wash everything. Even new clothes. Im with you girl
Great job with the spices - what a huge difference. Congratulations. I follow your clean "one mess at a time" guideline, it works!!! Thank you.
This motivated me to get up and rearrange my mug cabinet that was a big cluttered mess.. thank you so much! now it looks much nicer. I also loved how your spices turned out..
Eagles fan here but who doesn't love the "85" Bears!!! Just found you and love watching ur videos!! 💚💚
you're doing great!! Ive been having your videos on while I declutter my stuff...so thank you!!
clean in 100% theraputic for me. i am a minimalist at heart! for my mental health if there is no use of an item to my house or doesn't make me happy I get rid of it immediately. all of my purges go to goodwill because I do not have the patience or mental compacity to sell the items.
The mugs spark joy! Keep them all and enjoy them
You are doing such a great job, so motivating! Thank you
I love how you added the clip about the sentimental items. I have my mom's bread maker I don't use but I can't get rid of it. I have a small kitchen so I tend to just keep it on the baker's rack maybe I can use it and solve that problem lol.
I really love your videos and so relatable. I have been struggling with major depressive disorder and minimalism helps me with stress and anxiety on keeping my house clean and tidy.
Hi Lyndie! I am so happy you found me! I understand your struggle and yes minimalism is very helpful in relieving the anxiety from the stress mess as I call it. Thanks for being here for me! Welcome to the journey! Stay Mighty! God bless! xo
What a great job you have done!! I love the spice rack and enjoy watching a mom who likes to get organized!!congrats!!!
Everything looks so nice! You just inspired me to order the spice labels. I will tape 1” painter’s tape across the top of the spice jars and place the labels up to the edge of it, then remove the tape. My motor skills and patience are not good enough to eyeball it!
I feel the same about my mugs. Certain mugs give me certain feelings too🥰
Now I wash everything I buy new but when I was a kid l really liked to wear new clothes for the first day of school😊Great job on the cupboards, that liner is a nice choice!
Thanks for sharing!! Stay Mighty!
Love your approach to minimalism and keeping it real, i also have things close to my heart.
I was working on minimalism but idk what happened. Clutter and mess gives me anxiety and I will really overwhelmed when it’s too messy. Thankyou for your videos!! I like to do this little challenge with my sisters where randomly one of will say get a garbage bag and toss out 100 things (stack of the same thing counts as 1, trash, broken items/ toys, things you don’t use) you’ll be surprised how quickly you can get rid of 100 things. We do have a place for things you want recycle and donate. It makes a difference.
I just redid my kitchen cabinets and it feels so great! There were so many expired spices! Ahhh!!! I love your channel!! 💕
The Wicked mug makes me sentimental/emotional. Keep it as long as you can or need. Repurpose it on desk, or counter for Halloween utensil holder, makeup brushes, mascara etc.if you want to or have to. My sister has been missing for years, and your mug is giving ME feelings! So special n ok 100% aligned with konmari method, even if you’re not trying to intentionally. You are doing so well with your process, and giving your all to thinking about hard things, and listening to your heart n your spaces! I’m so happy for your clarity n deep investment for your vision of YOUR life.
💚lisa
What I did I went to lowes, we have lumber in the front of the lumber yard for cheap I had them cut down and I just stacked 1 then 2 and I got the boards so that the small spice jars like you have just fit on them. Lowes does straight cuts for free and the scrap lumber you can get for a really low price. Just FYI
Yes, it's best to wash everything if possible.
Also , I'm right here with you, I got started later due to just having little time and just barely being home. I didn't go for color scheme I'm like if I used it I kept it if I didn't I let it go and the funny thing is it ended up being mostly the same color or style when It came to dishes.
you did an incredible job...it looks so great. Decluttering and organizing really does help with easing anxiety.
I love your end result with the spice cabinets 😍, so happy for you and very proud 🥲. You rock girl 💪!!!!
Wow, that looks fantastic! Thanks for the great ideas!
