    Good Job Sophia! Yes I have a hard time getting rid of stuff because of what I spent on it too! However, I try to look at it this way… I don’t blink and eye about going out to dinner and spending $50, $75 or more. I ate it, I enjoyed it but I do not try to hold on to the dinner forever! It’s goes down the toilet literally lol! Why do we (including myself) beat ourselves up about getting rid of stuff we spent money on? We enjoyed it for the time we used it now we need to let it go. We most likely got our money’s worth of it by now! I’m still working on that one but it’s becoming easier. Also use it or lose it is a good motto! 💜👍💜👍💜👍💜👍💜👍💜👍💜👍💜

    No! Not the beaters! My mom has that style and has for years. Those little guys NEVER die. It's way better than the new black and decker that I have!

    garage sale those glass pyrex. without lid people use them as mixing bowls, serving bowls & put stretchy lids on them.
    you did so good! my husband keeps telling me stop moving stuff!! from decluttering/reorganizing the kitchen.

    It’s hard to turn loose of the pretty things! You made a lot of decisions. I don’t listen to the “money wasted” comments. One could say that about any purchase that you eventually declutter. But, it really depends on what your money did with each particular purchase. Made you happy? Taught you a lesson? Who cares? It’s better to turn it loose than to store it. Great video! 👍🏼👍🏼

    First I have to say I love that you use your China. And you finally let go of the Temptations! (Yes I have been watching your videos for a long time 😊). The onion method seems to be your style of decluttering (in layers/over time) and it works really well. I also loved how you talked your way through this process. All very valid points ! And I’m also a big fan of CorningWare ❤️

  • @patkern185
    @patkern185 3 роки тому +3

    You're right: it's about the process, not the event. I think you did a darn good job discerning what serves you and your family. I'm going to rewatch this when I go through my kitchen cabinets because I know I've got items I loved and used at one time but don't any longer. Thanks for the nudge I needed, Sophia! 😘

    To be real: my Mum bought me a lovely Villeroy & Boch set for my marriage that was in cupboards for years. After my divorce I said: no… I am using it now. I love it and it reminds me of the most beautiful person on earth so I want the positive vibes every day. And the other stuff… it’s slowly getting out of my house instead of making me feel guilty of having it and not using it. Ça suffit… if I love it and I use it it has purpose to be in my house, if not it will have a purpose in someone else’s life. Way to go Sophia… t’es notre championne!

  • @68graceful
    @68graceful 3 роки тому +3

    You are so right I had bought so much stuff when I was younger. I have found out that I really only need to keep what I use. I think it’s awesome that you are letting people know it’s a process and it’s your decision no one else’s.

  • @kamelijaatanasovska933
    @kamelijaatanasovska933 3 роки тому +5

    My opinion is if you are not at least 80% sure on something keep it for the next decluttering ... It doesn't matter what someone else is saying.. it's all about how you feel

    Re your conversation at the end,all of the factors that you mentioned are true,plus it depends on the stage of life you are in. For example newlywed entertaining,young children,empty nest,retirement,widowhood. I’m 63 and I’m done being the one to host all of the showers,etc. It’s time to let the 35 year olds do it,I’ll even give them my punch bowl!😅😂🤣

    It is amazing at the progress that you have made in decluttering. I have watched you agonize over things that I would have quickly thrown away but you needed to hold tightly to them. With each declutter you breathe easier. So nice to see your growth.

    Great video Sophia! You made some hard decisions but cleared lots of space. I loved the TED talk at the end...lol! Also... GOOD ON YOU offering to help the entrepreneurs that watch your channel and giving them a boost. More of us should be so willing and eager to give others a hand! 👏🏻👏🏻

  • @juliem8450
    @juliem8450 3 роки тому +3

    Hi Sophia, you did a good job 👏 it's difficult especially if you liked something, I agree if it's not been used why keep, however I feel its a waste of money if not used and just sitting in a cupboard so definitely pass it on to someone who will use it 😊

    @Joybug_51 3 роки тому +3

    I decluttered when we had a new kitchen installed in order to create space without stacking too many items. Now, three years later, I am going through my cabinets again to remove items we really do not use anymore. Most of our large family events are now held in my daughters' homes so not so many serving pieces are necessary, but I am keeping mainly clear glass items for serving.

    So proud of you! I'm hoping your smart decisions will rub off on me for my hard decisions. For some reason your videos have been more inspirational for me than other people on UA-cam. So I'm watching a few of your videos then I work on things in my house then I go back to your videos and then over again.

  • @joanb3907
    @joanb3907 3 роки тому +5

    My rule is if I haven’t used it in a year thenI probably never will. That goes for clothing as well. Unless its an heirloom that I love. My uncluttered home is more important to me than things I don’t use. 🥰

  • @hipposdontgohungry
    @hipposdontgohungry 3 роки тому +4

    I think decluttering the way you do, a little at a time, is more thorough of a process. You have more time to make decisions so you avoid the decision fatigue of decluttering a lot whole room at a time, plus more time to weigh your options.

  • @patriciaconiglio6717
    @patriciaconiglio6717 3 роки тому +4

    Another great job. You are very wise to use your Corningware and get rid of the Temptations (QVC). Corningware is a vastly superior product. The newer Temptations are such poor quality as they are always crazing, cracking and breaking. If you have the metal racks that came with the Temptations they can be used with the Corningware so you can use hot Corningware with the Temptations metal serving rack on a table and not need a trivit. I bake chicken thighs, onion, carrots and potatoes in my large Corningware bake dish and I use the Temptations metal rack to not damage my tabletop to serve my Corningware.

    Oh Sophia I LOVE THOSE OLD WORLD items. I have been a subscriber for decade or more. And those dinner wares
    ARE TO DIE FOR.
    I looked high and low to buy those but every time I think of buying I am always short of money. But whenever I have the $ The priorities were not there.
    I am sad that you letting it go. I even saw you used it during thanksgiving/s.
    Haaayy.... I am just sad that it wont be a part of your meaningful holidays.
    But you are doing oh so well with de cluttering. You are really awesome

    You are fun to listen too as you go through all the things. I really like that about your channel.
    The green serving set sure is pretty. I would put it somewhere else in the house and just use it as decor. Well, I wouldn't, my space is too small. But, I would be tempted. 😁
    Cheers.

Lots of people use those stretchy covers on bowls and Pyrex glass is sturdy! We just had a sale last month (twice) and I am ALWAYS surprised by how much and what actually goes.

    i completely understand your wanting to use the metric system. I grew up in America but I am in the medical field. After I learned metrics and practiced for so many years, I am sometimes annoyed by the inaccuracy of the Imperial system. Thankfully, my training involved learning these equivalent measures. I must say though I love recipes (especially baking) that give the gram/milliliter measurements for ingredients.

    Oh, Sophia, don't feel like the Lone Ranger for cooking measurements...I grew up in the 50s and 60s in the US, so was taught the non-metric [crazy] measurement system but also studied math and science in school through university, so metric only with all that; then teaching chem, physics and math since 1968 [until recently] was mostly metric, but trying to operate my own home in non-metrics has been an experience of conflict, confusion, and quite frankly insanity!
    The good thing about having to function within both, I can convert any units to any units [without Google] LOL.
    It helps me to visualize amounts when in common applications. Example, while nobody in my childhood or own home drinks, we do keep the supplies to serve guests, so have two 'jiggers' or shot glasses, that traditionally hold 1.5 fluid ounces or 44 ml each.
    And for things where exactness are not critical, estimation is good enough, such as water bottles with 950ml or apprx 1 liter capacity, are close enough to a quart for my uses.
    I always admire your tackling, and winning, at any project you take on!!!!!

    Keep the Corning Ware and sale the Temptations. Corning is worth a fortune and you have so many. Love Corning Ware. You gave me so much inspiration over the years that while I'm decluttering I can hear your voice saying I'll get rid of this. Ha ha. While watching this video I was thinking about stuff I could get rid of in my cabinets. Love your videos and it seems good to know I'm not the only one going through decluttering all the time. Thanks for sharing. 💜

    I have the Pyrex dish in a dark green and use it as my marinating dish with the lid upside down and holding a fork to move the meat around while it is refrigerated. Granted it cannot be dish-washed, but I like it for the job. I have a bunch of the Pyrex round containers with the plastic tops. I hand wash the tops, which I don’t mind, but square and rectangular would be nice.
