- After my latest Wardrobe declutter a few days ago, I've been feeling super motivated to continue my decluttering journey. Over the last 4-5 years I have decluttered an enormous amount of stuff, and combined with completely overhauling my shopping habits, I've been moving from a messy to more minimal home.
Hope this video spurs you on to do some decluttering or organisation of your own!

Over the last few years, I've come to the realisation that whilst a certain level of material things do add to your life, more stuff will not necessarily make you happier. This realisation hit me when I looked around my home that was filled with stuff (so much so I felt I needed a bigger house) and couldn't say I was particularly happier than when I lived in Spain (in 2008) when everything I had with me fit in one large drawer and a very small wardrobe.
These days I prefer to adopt a buy less, buy better approach, with a focus on quality over quantity, removing the clutter, adopting aspects of minimalism, and utilising my money in the best way possible.

Oh my. You really were a shopaholic. I hope streamlining has given you more joy than overspending ever did. I really enjoy this sort of content, thank you 👍
Shopaholic combined with never wanting to let anything go 🤦♀️
My no buy year was genuinely life changing, stopping shopping mindlessly has taught me an awful lot about money and myself. 😊 Thanks for watching Kerry x
I NEVER let things go! I’m 33 and have clothes from college still in bags in my garage or hanging in the spare closet that don’t fit I just can’t part with. Or products I bought that weren’t great I just keep thinking I’ll eventually use them as to not waste the money. It’s an annoying habit of mine lol. So I get how it can appear to be like your shopping a ton in excess if you never declutter!
@@hollywilliams04 ha ha I know that trouble, I hate being wasteful. Yes some of the clothes I have were purchased 15 years ago - some I still wear, but there’s been a fair bit to let go of!
Wow lol, I feel better after watching , I think I need more clothes
Thank you Kirsty, another great video🥰 I too have just done my shoes and handbags, things which have been hard to part with in the past. Like you I have got rid of half of them both. Declutting something each week has really helped me and can honestly say every couple of weeks things are going to friends, family or charity shops🥰xx
You know I really like what I refer to as slow decluttering, little and often. I feel like you are more able to push past all those feelings that make us hold on to things - guilt, sunk cost fallacy, etc etc - doing it all in one go would never have worked for me. I also think it can be like a muscle, you’re weak at first and can’t part with much, but over time, and with practice, you become stronger and can let things go. 😊 xx
Excellent inspiration! I love that you try to reuse things whenever possible. Thanks for sharing. ♥
Its amazing how much can be reused for other purposes! Thanks for watching x
That was a great declutter Kirsty well done, and there’s more to come !! It feels so good to streamline your things every now and again and have a good sort. Forgotten items can feel like new purchases without the cost.
Absolutely. I dug out some of my handbags recently and have been making a point of using them. I don’t know why Id stopped reaching for them - they’re so lovely!
hello girl i would like to suggest the konmari method for folding is very efficient.
Yes I’m familiar with Kon Mari, and have read The Magic of Tidying Up some time ago. I’ve tried it before but didn’t like it. It actually wasted space as the drawers are deep. Thanks for the suggestion though! X
Thanks for the inspiration ☺️🇦🇺
Thanks for watching! xx
Super inspiring💕
Thanks for watching 😊 x
Fun Fact - The sticker is still on the bottom of my stage boots as the style name is 'Giona Fange' and the childish part of me just found this to be really funny so I kept it on. 😂
Reminds me of Phoebe's 'Regina Phalange' on FRIENDS! 😝😝😝
@@DazzleDust32 yessss!
🤔 Stage boots? Stage boots?! As in dancing? 🎶😍 I do hope you've busted some moves to the Copacabana in past times 🙏
Speaking of decluttering, I need to sort my own this weekend! Super video as always Kirsty 😁🌞✨
👋 Hi Coco
@@rubysausages ha ha yes, I used to be a full time singer many years ago.
@@KirstyKirby you're full of surprises! Our very own Linda Ronstadt.. 🎶✨🎤
Great video x
Thanks for watching Alison x
On the stage?!! Need to know more! Sorry if you’ve explained previously. Thanks for the video it’s getting me inspired to do the same 😀
No problem - I used to be a full time professional singer/dancer. Started professionally in my late teens and had a blast living abroad in my early 20s. :)
@@KirstyKirby wow exciting!
u r so pretty i love ur videos
That’s very kind of you to say
Hi Kirsty
Hope your doing ok💐
My husband is the bloody hoarder,he has 2 sheds and I still have stuff in the garden
That’s he won’t use but keeps “just incase”🤬
Why I didn’t think of this before I don’t no….now the kids have left home
I have my summer clothes in my wardrobe,and winter in my daughter wardrobe
So swap them over and get rid of stuff on the change over!!
Mine is skincare I have a ridiculous amount that will be my next job.
That sounds like a good system, I know I certainly need to let go of some colder weather items, but don’t feel like I can until the summer is gone and I’ll get a better idea if I will wear these things.
Good luck! Skincare and associated paraphernalia was something I used to overbuy in the past and I decluttered a few years ago. It can be so easy for things to creep back in though so have to keep on top of it. Xx
As I’m getting older,I just cannot wear heels anymore. Luckily comfort brand shoes are much cuter than in the past.
I'm definitely embracing a flat more than I used to. I think many of my friends are similar - lockdowns and so on over the last few years meant we got out of the habit of wearing them. I don't wear them much day to day so I think more will have to be decluttered in the end.
Hi Kirsty. I can't believe you ever wore some of those heels - you must have had constant nose bleeds! :)) Well done for letting go of so much stuff though, it's not easy. I hope your finance videos aren't gone for good - I really enjoyed them. Your prediction for UK inflation to hit double digits before the year-end came true today - no surprise but, still, miserable news for so many. Best wishes.
I’ll try to keep some in from time to time, I found that they drew a lot of odd comments and trolling so I just couldn’t be bothered (well at least with the headline roundups). I did enjoy doing the recession video though, and I must admit I feel very vindicated being right when at the time of filming all the media were saying it wasn’t on the cards. Like you say it’s horrible situation though, one I continue to be concerned about. Xx
You have lovely classic style 💜 and you really remind me of the actress Jill Halfpenny!
Ooh that’s a new one. When my hair was shorter I used to get Davina McCall a lot. I’ve also got Suranne Jones and Kirsty Gallacher before. I must have one of those faces - Dark haired British actresses and presenters seem to be my type of people!
@@KirstyKirby oh yes I also see Davina McCall and Suranne Jones now his mention them! 😄 hahaha you sure do 😆
More finance and money videos please. They are very enjoyable. 🙂
Hi there, I will try to add some in to my content, I'm probably not bringing back the cost of living crisis round up videos though as they brought a lot of trolls to my channel so I just cant be doing with the hassle! (I'll never say never though), but I'm sure I'll do other things. For me the decluttering has been a large part of shaping my relationship with money so that's one of the reasons I include them in my range of content. :)
Loved this video, found it very useful. Really enjoying your personal finance tips. Are you are good at healthy eating and do you have any tips on that haha? X (I’m actually serious 🤦🏻♀️)
Hi Laura, interesting you should ask, I'm normally really good (after years of struggling with a bit of binging/disordered eating at times), but although my diet is probably still better than some, I have let things slip a little recently.
Starting back on track on Monday with a view to be back in all the clothes that now feel a little tight - was thinking I might document the process of doing it healthily and then share.
The horrible truth is the basics that we don't like are the answer - reduce sugar, reduce or eliminate processed foods, good quality sleep, stress management, plenty of water, regular but realistic exercise (I genuinely think resistance exercise is brilliant for women, have always been in some of the best shape of my life when I included it, despite being someone who is not ordinarily a gym rat) etc etc - not sure if that helps! x
@@KirstyKirby this is really helpful! I’ve recently started open water swimming which I enjoy, but could work in some resistance training along with cutting down on sugary foods x
Hi, is there a specific reason you put your jeans inside out? Never thought of doing this, maybe I should?
Hi there, I tend to wash them inside out to reduce fading. When they have dried I've just not turned them the right way out.
I really like your videos but I'm not keen on the music you use and have to mute it!
Sorry to hear that. Funnily enough I did consider this myself yesterday, that it wouldn’t necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea and that something more laid back might be more inclusive, although this type of music is quite common place in vlogs/declutter videos and so on. Unfortunately I'd already uploaded by the time I thought more about this so it was too late to make any changes. I’ll never be able to suit everyone’s taste though sadly even if I try really hard to do so! I went for something upbeat as some of the super mellow stuff people use in some videos seems oddly out of place. Really appreciate the constructive feedback though.
What is your shoe size?
Why would you ask?
@@KirstyKirby just curios. Because i look at your videos for some time
