I respectfully disagree about underwire bras….it’s all about the fit. I get mine from Soma, and they are so comfortable, I don’t feel the wire - they don’t dig into my rib cage at all. I wear 34DD, and have never found anything that gives the lift that I need. I’m team Properly Fitted Underwire!💕
Wonderful tips as usual! (Thank you.) As to canvas/cloth foot wear; when brand new I give them a good spray of indoor/outdoor, fabric/upholstery protector which can help to protect against stains etc.
This video was more helpful for you than you could ever possibly know.... I'm a chronic pain sufferer and have ended up with a weight fluctuation problem. I have 3 sizes of clothes in my closet due to this along with various shoe widths for when my feet swell. Just recently I jumped from a size 10 to size 14! I have ended up with a closet so full of clothes and shoes that I can't even walk in my closet. It's ridiculous.... It may take me for the rest of my life to empty it and organize it but I need to start doing that very soon. Thank you for always being so encouraging.
Hi Heather, you are so right, I’m in Pa and it’s starting to get cold so I moved my summer clothes out and fall and winter clothes into my closet. I have so many clothes that I haven’t worn in at least 2 years and to be honest I will never wear them again. I am going to box them up and donate them, it will give me so much room in my closet. Thank you for all the tips.
I agree with many of your suggestions especially with cosmetic shelf life. However, good quality sweaters that are stretched out or shrunken can often be saved, just do an internet search on how to do it safely. There are also ways to restore yellowed clothing. Of course, if beyond hope of restoring it may be best to upcycle or repurpose. Thank you for your suggestions!
This was a great video, Heather! I get so stressed going through my clothes closet. 😩 I'm not even sure why. But, all the tips were very useful. No more underwire bras for me; I got a horribly angry rash from the friction, and it was a good brand. I'm going through my makeup stash and cleaning my vanity table today in hopes of simplifying. I'm good with tossing old mascara,even though I don't wear it daily. Next up is the clothes, now that fall is here. I usually do donate to women returning to the work force, as you mentioned. Also, there is an organization that takes unopened health and beauty products for the same cause. This was a very inspiring video..TFS. Hope you three have a fun autumn weekend! 🍁🌻 Rosemarie 💖
I send cosmetic/body care samples to our food pantry. They put them in a big bowl and when people come in for food, they can take a few samples from the bowl.
Thanks for the nudge! I have so many face cream samples that I need to toss as well as eye shadow palettes that I'll never use that are years old. I also have bras that must go.
Hello Heather So funny! I started to fall clean my closet yesterday! It does feel liberating!😆 It good FengShui to make order in your closet ! Yes! And fun fireplace clothes you got rid of...I am more on the giving to Charity side...it always comes back to you anyway and help people! Laughed a lot when I saw your umbrellas! Same problem with me! Thk you! For video! Have a great week end! Sending you sunshine!🌞❤️☺️
Ugh I go through my closets all the time . I gave 4 big bags to the church full of clothes and coats, some with tags. I gave brand new stuff to my nieces and sister in law and I still have too much. If I actually get rid of all the stuff I'm not wearing my closets would be half empty. I have to just do it!
@@lovingourage I am an law enforcement officer and I have 2 lockers that I recently cleaned them out because when I opened one of them everything fell out and I couldn't close the second one lol!!!
Good advice Heather ! I recently did a big clothing clean out and went through everything and got rid of several bags of items ! So yay !!!!! It is really nice to go in your closet and know that everything fits ! I have tried the no underwire bras and find that they seem to ride up under the girls and I am always tugging on them to get them back into place. Therefore I do prefer underwire and I always find them to be more comfortable for me. If I do go wire free I will wear a good sports bra and I don’t have any trouble with those riding up. Thanks again for the great advice and you guys have a great weekend ! 😘😘😘
Ladies...there’s a Walmart bra called Secret Treasures (t-shirt with underwire). it is the MOST comfortable and supportive bra I have ever worn. 10.00 USD.
This was an awesome video Heather! After viewing I went into my drawers and closet and started tossing what I no longer wear! Donating some and trashing some! Blessings!
This was a good video. Let me share a bra I recently discovered... it truly is amazing! The brand is Evelyn & Bobbie and the ones I LOVE are the Defy and the Evelyn. Once you try them and adjust to what a bra feels like that actual fits you will NEVER wear anything else, I promise!!! The company is very supportive and responsive... give them a try! 😊
Oh my gosh, i have so many unfortunate stories about delinquent undies! It only took me this many years to get into the habit of taking them off & chucking them out instead putting them in the washing basket. 🤣
I have a lot of clean outs and most go to the op-shop animal shelter and I then wear my old clothes for cleaning up the house. They then get thrown into the bin when no longer wearable.
Very good content. I hate been going thru my closets. Put put on covid weight. Going thru make up. I had an infection with paralysis in my lt eye So bought new mascara. The eye paralysis was 2 years go. Very scary!.
Heather. Listen to this tip. When my mascara needs to go I wipe off the wand really well. Then I put the wand ( spoolie ) into a plastic throw away cup with micellar water overnight. The next day I have a nice new clean spoolie. You're welcome. Lol
Yes, about the shoes, ...I do look at peoples' shoes ! Lol. .....I was chuckling a little, about the underwire brassieres... I started wearing them when I was in High School, lol. I don't like most other styles, since I feel they don't really keep the " girls up as well ", so I respectfully disagree on that. ... but that's my own thoughts . I may wear the " lounging bra", without underwire, certain times, but I wear my Underwire Undergarment almostv every day, no issues. Many of the ones today have the" Comfort Underwire". I read the comments about Soma, and she's absolutely correct ..... worth the investment , they are very comfortable and fit so well. ( I even had several people ask me if I had a breast lift , because of my age - I was in my 50s- and I said "No, I just wear good undergarments all the time...." lol. ) It's actually good Feng Shui to go through items,get rid of things and that can bless others, if the items are still in good condition. There's the Loan Closets, as you mentioned and just giving things to those who need that particular item is a Blessing to the one giving ,as well .
Thanks for sharing about the bra. I agree that giving to others in need, especially when a woman needs a job and an interview. We are blessed when we give.
Great tips! You're so right about ditching stuff that just isn't up to par. Crappy stuff makes you feel crappy. You are such a beautiful woman, but I gotta say, you went a little overboard with the bronzer today. 🌞
I have been great at cleaning out my closet. I need to do it again. I have way too many white t shirts. I’m going to go through my closet this weekend. I had a sample of mascara,it was brand new. One of my granddaughters asked if I had mascara she could use. I gave her the sample. I’m sorry, I’m related to her, but I don’t believe in sharing mascara. Maybe when I was a teenager I did the same thing. But not now. I’ve had too many styles and eye problems myself. I don’t wear nail polish. In fact, I had a gel nail polish kit, with the light an everything. My nails keep breaking, so I gave it to my granddaughters. Of course, my nails are looking good this week. But after I’m done cleaning they will be a mess again.
My dermatologist confided to me that there is an OTC product, Dermanail. It is a nail conditioner. I bought mine from Walmart. It conditions dry, cracked, nails that have ridges in them. And its good for moistening cuticles.
Sorry but I have to disagree with your request about getting rid of underwire bras because I’m a 36J and majority of bra companies don’t carry that size.
Thanks for watching my newest video (some of the "good" items to keep are below)

I wear 34F and love my underwire bras.
I agree with you. I'm large chested as well. I have never found a wireless bra that supports & holds the girls up.
Yes I agree if you are big busted you have to wear a under wire bra. Believe me I know. 42DD
Some doctors claim that tumors can form along the wire.
I bought Warner's No Side Effects with the underwire. It actually rubbed against my skin so badly, it was almost a cut. No more of those for me.
Wonderful tips as usual! (Thank you.) As to canvas/cloth foot wear; when brand new I give them a good spray of indoor/outdoor, fabric/upholstery protector which can help to protect against stains etc.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Heather. Very good advice. Sometimes we hold on things too long, best to donate or toss if they are too worn. Kindness, Teresa
So true Teresa!

I'm in Ohio (10 miles from PA border) and I just did tue same thing
It's such a feel-good feeling to not only to clean out but also donate. Thanks for sharing Cathy.

Thanks for the input Sheryl!!
Really good advice, Heather! I am guilty of keeping stuff around that is way past its prime! Need to start doing some tossing! Have a great week!
You are so welcome! Good luck on the tossing!!

Thanks so much for sharing Rosemarie, you make a lot of great points. I prefer to donate and I will have to look into the skincare & makeup donations!
Good afternoon so grateful for your channel 🥰
Thanks so much for saying that Jolene
AMEN TO THAT.
i wash my cloth sneakers. spray dirt marks first, wash on perm press setting. do not put them in dryer.
Thanks for sharing!
I just went thru my clothes and discarded 10 tops. I will donate them. Didn't go thru winter clothes yet.
Thanks for sharing. I love that you are donating them!
Very informative video, thanks for the tips
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Heather 🙏 you are such an inspiration 🌹
What a lovely thing to say, thanks Verena!
I needed this video..I’m cleaning tomorrow and now I will be ruthless..all good advice👍👏
Yay!!!
I have a beautiful beaded dress too !!
It's a shame to let it go, but it's time, especially since it will never fit me again
Great motivational video ! I did a purge 2 years ago, but maybe time to do it again.
Every year is good for me!
Thanks for the nudge! I have so many face cream samples that I need to toss as well as eye shadow palettes that I'll never use that are years old. I also have bras that must go.
It's so liberating when you have clean spaces and get rid of stuff you don't use. Thanks for sharing
Hello Heather
So funny!
I started to fall clean my closet yesterday! It does feel liberating!😆
It good FengShui to make order in your closet ! Yes! And fun fireplace clothes you got rid of...I am more on the giving to Charity side...it always comes back to you anyway and help people!
Laughed a lot when I saw your umbrellas! Same problem with me!
Thk you! For video!
Have a great week end!

Enjoyed your video-it's amazing the things we hang on to!... I will doing a "purge"... I usually donate my things to a local charity. Stay well🌺
Thanks for sharing. I'm so happy you are donating to a charity.

I know you're not alone with this situation. Glad you are chucking the bad ones now.
I've got a big bust so can't really do without underwiring. Nothing else gives that level of support 😕
Thanks for sharing, I'm hearing this from many women
I have a lot of clean outs and most go to the op-shop animal shelter and I then wear my old clothes for cleaning up the house. They then get thrown into the bin when no longer wearable.

Heather you can donate bad clothing to fabric bins. 😘
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing!
What are fabric bins? Is that like the rag man who used to come by years ago? I guess they made rag rugs, etc.
