    I still watch the 2012 Declutter series when I clean. I repeat less stuff less stress when am decluttering. It’s been a great mantra to remind me.

    I admire your minimal style Christine. I've never seen a woman decide not to have even one dress or skirt before! I like the way that you do you. Women use clothes for emotional fulfillment, but it's never ending. The less I think about clothes, the more peaceful I feel.🌼

    So great to see your organization and declutter videos and yes, more please! :) You have always been my favorite from way back in the days of your "less stuff, less stress" videos! You were way ahead of the times with doing minimalism before it was a trend! Love and appreciate you Christine! xo

      Thank you so much for all of your support over the years, it means a lot to me! I know these little habits and mindset shifts have changed my life, it's exciting to see it working for so many others now too. And yes, absolutely I could do an entire new updated series of declutter/organizing/minimizing videos like these. 🥰

    this was a lovely and calm video for doing something we all need to do.....also I find that these tips are very helpful for me.....I do tend to hold onto items because of good feelings associated with them - even tho I don't wear them anymore - so this reminded me that its okay to let them go....thanx for this! ♥

    I, too, will go back to your first few declutter videos. The best part of them is your inner dialogue that you shared with us. You were frustrated then disgusted by all that you “collected”! You broke the internet and started others, including me, to let go of the madness of keeping all this stuff!!!

    I was in my early twenties in college and drowning in stuff. My family would make me feel so guilty for letting things go even if they had no use of anything I no longer wanted. I saw your decluttering videos, the “Less Stuff, Less Stress” series, and everything just clicked. I let go of most of my stuff and only kept what I loved, and I’m so thankful. My husband and I are more minimal and intentional with our belongings, and it’s made the biggest difference in terms of moving apartments, cleaning, and even what we purchase. I know this is a dramatic comment, but I am so thankful for your content and advice, and you inspired me to go vegetarian and cruelty free as well. Thank you for being you!

    For the colder season, I had only black pants and jeans. I finally got some tan pants I'd wanted. I then divided my fall/winter stuff into stuff that wd go better with tan and things that wd def' go best with black. I have 2 very narrow closets, so now I can 'closet shop' in 2 dif spots. It's made things so much easier!

    I love how you have an all year around closet, I'm over seeing seasonal small closets that would actually be hugely full of similar stuff if all stored in one space there could be 10 similar black T-shirts like 3 for summer 3 for spring 2 for winter 2 for fall and realistically it could be cut by half if not more.

    My first declutter round was huge. My 2e was big and the next ones are still bigger then I expect. If I knew when I was younger I defenetly would made sure I had a lot less items. Not nesesairly clothes but just stuff and sentimental items.

    Haha so many I thought "no that's cute keep it or give it a try". Thought that bright minty top would look great with white pants or shorts too. Personally, I keep old stuff that have some small holes just to wear around the house, for PJs, or for cleaning. I get attached and can't just toss quickly without thinking lol.

  • @luisafoodadventure5294
    @luisafoodadventure5294 10 місяців тому

    Thank you for this video. Best declutter video I have seen in a long time. I get demotivated early in my closet challenge and I just realized it is decision fatigue. T
    Early today I declutter my bags and although I eliminated some it still felt overwhelming. Now I know is because I did not really have tangible step. Did I use this bag in last year? Simple but brilliant.
    I was asking do I love it? Of course I love them. I bought them. They are beautiful. But i don’t use them. Some over 2 or more years. Some never used them because they are not practical. Mentally I was going through them in my head as you spoke and I surely I can go back and eliminate at least half of them. Will do that first thing tomorrow…follow your process.

    This is one of the best closet decluttering videos that I have ever watched and I have definitely watched more than a thousand - no exaggeration here😅 (they are my favs). It includes the best tips for the decluttering process and helps reminding oneself of why you don’t need to buy more clothes. And it is also very aesthetically pleasing to watch and I also like your calming voice☺️ Thank you so much for it!

    talk about serious cut throat no BS de clutter. I have a ton on clothes I don't think I can do this. my husband had no idea how much clothes I have until we moved to a new house and we ended up using the same closet. I always claim the biggest closet so he's never really seen the amount of stuff I have. the closet is huge but i somehow managed to take 90 percent of the space and a few more bags laying around in other rooms coz it won't fit anymore. my husband was shocked at how much clothes I have. he kept telling me it would take years to wear them all at least once. I have a ton of shoes too. great video!

    Hi Christine!
    Believe it or not I have been watching you on and off since 2012! I am curious, I know this is a very different question. How in the world do you keep your white clothing white? Watching you Declutter your closet I literally got rid of half of my closet after this ha ha ha ha! Please keep doing exactly what you have been doing.❤️
    God bless
