    Hi friends! I hope you enjoy this video - I’m so excited for the rest of this series & to finally get all of things I’ve putting off for YEARS organized!
    I did plan on the next video being the closet organization, however it may be a hurricane prep video as that is what we are focusing on this week. I do not think I will be able to finish the closet this week.
    With that being said, I will be posting updates on my Instagram if any of you are on there be sure to add me and say hi. I just posted an update a little bit ago. My handle is @melissairenecleaning
    If you are in the path of this hurricane, my prayers are with you. It went from a tropical storm yesterday to a category five earlier. Be safe! ❤

      @@tamarap387 hi Tamara! I get it - sometimes ppl are just organizing (and that’s fine) - but it’s not the same as decluttering! I’m glad you enjoyed the video - be on the lookout for more coming soon in this “series”. My closet is next. I’m excited but nervous bc it’s a hot mess! 🥴 Thanks for watching! 🧡🧡

    Hello, I wanted to tell you your videos are awesome. You're doing great. Decluttering is a hard process. I started decluttering about 6 years ago. I have done several passes through each area over the years & it gets easier each time. My emotional attachments to thing have lessened. The more I get rid of the less I have to manage & take care of & I see the real benefits of living with less. Its freeing!!!!!! Living an uncluttered life is worth the work you're putting into it now. I promise it is.

      Aw thank you so much! 🧡 it is quite overwhelming for sure at times. I am noticing like you mentioned it’s getting easier the more and more I go through. So much easier and makes me so grateful I took the time to organize it. There are some areas that I haven’t touched (like the cards) and I’m looking forward to those areas being easier to manage. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! 🧡

    I was so excited to find a decluttering video where you actually get rid of stuff. I have just taken another box to the thrift store and I am already thinking of a few more things I need to get rid of and I have been decluttering for about ten years now. It never ends lol.

      @@Melissa_Irene you are very welcome I really like watching decluttering and organizing videos and seeing what everyone uses to organize and make the space better they also give me some ideas for some of my spaces we live in a 5th wheel RV with No closets so all our clothes are in totes and we are on a fixed income so we don't have the money to get any closets or hanging racks and I have trouble seeing what all I have so I was wondering if you had any ideas on how I could make it easier for me to see what I have?

    This series has me excited! I'm so happy you started with the bathroom. We have so little storage in our master bath (it always makes me wonder what they were thinking). I need to come up with some ideas to store the bath towels, hand towels etc (we have no cabinets, no linen closet and only 3 small drawers). I keep a mini vac in our bathroom too! It's super handy for the corners of the bathroom where hair likes to collect, we also have our washer and dryer in our bathroom so it comes in handy to vacuum the lint trap out.
    I've never met anyone that use gloves for EVERYTHING like I do! I feel seen lol! We order them in bulk lol! I can't wait for the closet declutter - ours is so bad! It's the catch-all for everything! I need the picture organization too...and it's worse now b/c my mom died 2 years ago tomorrow and I inherited all of her photos too (along with everything else). 🖤

    • @Melissa_Irene
      @Melissa_Irene  Місяць тому +1

      Having no storage in the bathroom is so frustrating - sounds like you have even less. What about one of those cabinets w shelves you can place over your toilet? Maybe not the best but it’s better than nothing. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Lol yes girl w the gloves - I go through so many. I do have a reusable pair I use but for the bathroom I like to use disposable lol!! Thank you so much for watching!! ♥️♥️♥️

      @@Melissa_Irene I’ve been thinking of a set of ikea cabinets above the toilet (about the only wall we have). Since it’s over the toilet I want something closed off for towels. I have no wall space because we have this massive 4 person tub in our bathroom, huge walk in glass shower, double sink and laundry room. The tiled the walls from floor to half way up the walls. Free space is above the toilet. I’ve tried so many other things and nothing works. We store our towels and bathroom stuff in our closet which is handy at all lol.
