Excellent job, Tracy! Here's a tip...keep a jar of wooden toothpicks in your kitchen cabinet. They are so helpful for cleaning little corners and crevices on stovetops, windowsills, faucets, etc. So, maybe you can have clean kitchen on one week of the month, the 2nd week put bedroom, 3rd bathroom, 4th living room, outside. You get the idea. It really helps to revisit these areas once a month. You see things to declutter and things that might need to be cleaned that you didn't notice before. Even if you think something doesn't need to be wiped down, wipe it anyway....trust me, the cleaning just goes faster this way!
Very satisfying cleaning and de-cluttering video. You (and Tina) handled business. Today, I finally got off my duff and cleaned my bathroom (ok except for the shower LOL). It really needed it-the floor was awful. I also mopped the kitchen floor-it needed it LOL. I forced myself to vacuum and finish dusting too! Tiring but it feels so good. I know you feel much better too getting back on track. Looking forward to the next video.
I just recently discovered your channel and I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying it! You are so down to earth and relatable and funny and creative,too! I have really been down in the dumps lately and your videos really inspire me! Thank you!
That’s so awesome! Welcome😃 I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying my videos😊 Thank you so much💗 New vid (big declutter!) coming this weekend! Probably Sunday🤩
Must feel good to sleep in such a nice clean space! You did a great job with the washer, dryer, and window! Always love seeing Tina. 🙂 And your kitchen looks fabulous! 🌺
Thanks! Keeping my bedroom clean feels so much better! It is definitely way more calming of an atmosphere to wind down at night. Tina loves to be seen😆🤩👸🏽
Hi, I’m hopeful that you’ll be posting more videos. Meanwhile I’ll just keep watching and listening to your old ones while I clean or while trying to get myself to clean. I’ve purged a bag of garbage clothes and a bag of donate-able items from my bedroom while listening today. Thank you. Hope you are well.
@@TracyAkamine you just made me so happy. I play a lot of your videos over and over as I am cleaning these days. The way you just say it like it is is working for me. Plus, I like the Tina spotlights too.
I loved this video! And I learned a new word too, lol. I've always wondered what the glass shades were called! I'm going to look for any excuse to use "jalousies" in conversation this week. I thought you did a really nice job of getting to things before they got out of control. I still wonder in your bedroom if you could downsize on furniture...maybe 1 dresser instead of 2, or 1 nightstand instead of 2? I know you've talked about needing the second for the CPAP, but to my eye you could put it on one nightstand. I just find that less furniture = less places for "things" to pile up. Can't wait to see what you and Tina tackle next!
🤣 They are also called “louvers”. Re: Bedroom - I was just thinking that I might try moving the smaller side table into the corner by the couch & see how that goes. I don’t think it will gather clutter there because it will be out of the way but will be convenient if I’m sitting on the couch working on something. The dressers will stay but they are only 1/2 full. I need to organize at some point & see if I can utilize my spaces better.
Btw - can you tell us your favorite cleaning products? I’m gonna try the Pink Stuff and I saw you using the vinegar/baking soda/Dawn, but anything else? I go to Daiso to pick up rags & stuff, lol. Your windows look like my second floor windows here in Central O’ahu!
I like the Pink Stuff the most actually. I use Simple Green too because they have big jugs of it at Costco but I prefer the pink stuff spray. I can’t stand the Mrs. Meyer’s sprays. The smell is over powering & they leave a sticky residue. Scrub Daddy Power Paste is great for cleaning the bottom of pans & getting rust off of stuff. I have The Barkeeper’s Friend in the cabinet but haven’t tried it yet. Hope that helps!
Fantastic that you haven't bought any clothes for such a long time ☺️
I know!! It’s amazing 🤩 I used to be such a shopaholic

Thank you for the tips! It definitely is easier the more you stay up on things isn’t it?
I like how you scrub out your sink before you do dishes. It's definitely worth the effort!
It really is! I like it clean before I clean😆
I do think organizing and having a specific place for everything makes cleaning up easier! You have really come a long way since you started!👏💜🥰
Thank you so much! It’s amazing how much I’ve progressed. I forgot sometimes how bad it originally was.

You are right about me feeling better now that I’m back on track! It’s so much easier to keep things clean when you actually DO clean isn’t it?😆

TRACY !! Wow, you did great. Everything looks great, and you did a lot 😊 ❤️
Things are getting better & easier😃
Great job. It's all about progress and taking action when things begin to get out of control, so it'll take less and less time to tidy up.
So true! I’m getting better at tackling things before they get too outta control. 😃
So glad your back with regular content! Missed you :) You're doing great!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I’m back too! And so grateful you’re still here to watch💗💗💗💗
Great video and editing! Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@MsArtistwannabe I’m so happy to hear sharing my journey has been helpful ❤️ We’re not in this alone!
Great job. You can take the blue plastic film off your washing machine for an even better look.
😆
Yay! Great job😊
Thank you! 😄

You accomplished so much!🎉
🥳🧽👍🏼
Tina was awesome 😂
I would really like to see your organizing, yes!!
It’s about time I think but I’m a little intimidated by the thought of the project. Guess I better take one section at a time😬
First ! Let’s go !
🥳

Great cleaning and organizing. You must be saving so much money not purchasing new clothes
I’m saving tons of money not buying clothes OR art supplies! 🥳
