I do 😁 obviously I am so thankful to get anything. It was a dream of mine 5 years ago. But it is a big reason my bathroom gets cluttered so fast and why I have the pile of items to give to friends/family.
@@MaiZimmywould you ever consider giving away PR products (even used is fine) tbh some of us cant afford products and would legit be happy to even try used ones, online ppl sell used products like on mercari ive seen girls sell 20% full foundation or even empty bottles or 5% left lol just cuz someone out there wants to try some and wants it for cheap! you could sell them as used in bundle deals like even 20$ for a buncha left over random products lol i'd buy that!
Hi I wanted to comment and tell you thank you❤️. I went through a divorce 4 years ago and its still raw and painful and was an obliterating experience to say the least. But over time the pain has subdued and I see the light after years of putting one foot in front of the other and living on survival mode. Your videos are beautiful and therapeutic and have helped me just feel joy in basic things such as cleaning shopping anf organising our nest. You are beautiful, empathetic, extremely smart, deep anf genuine person - decency shines through in your videos❤️. Thanks for helping in ways you may not fathom. God continue to bless you anf your family. Well done🥰❤️
I got a hysterectomy at 42, two years ago, and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. Surgery was not a big deal and now no periods no debilitating pain and I don’t have to worry about any cancers. Pure freedom 🎉
I had an ablation! In July 2021 and have not bled a drop since 🙌 my gyn does it in office. They knock you out in the stirrups for about 10 mins and laser the uterine lining. After waking up I went home with prescription Tylenol and was told to sleep the rest of the day. I couldn’t because I had to pee so much from the IV fluids lol. It did feel like my uterus was cramping and burning but just that one day. Next day I was fine. You have some discharge for a few days and then voila period free!! It is not considered 100% birth control. An egg can still fertilize and try to implant in your tubes or uterus and if that happens it’s very dangerous for you and the embryo will not survive. So either use a form of birth control or your partner gets a vasectomy. Once he’s no longer fertile then together you’re considered sterile. I still have regular pms symptoms and every once in a while will get a cramp, but so far it’s been wonderful. Why have periods if you aren’t having more kids?!? I say do it!
I think you’re referring to an endometrial ablation. It’s a process where they burn off the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus. It’s a permanent and non-reversible birth control procedure, but it has something like a 10% failure rate. Most people who have it have lighter periods after but some have no period and some have periods that are the same. So if your primary motivation is to not have periods anymore, it’s unfortunately probably not the best option.
I had an ablation due to heavy cycles and it was the best thing I've ever done. I highly recommend for anyone who is sick of having their cycle no matter their flow level, but especially if anyone out there has heavy cycles. I never really had problems with cramps, so I don't know if ablations help for that. I had mine in 2018 and I've spotted like once. It's nice not having to go through 2 boxes of superplus tampons a day, and haven't been anemic or needed a blood transfusion since. 🙌🏽 Edit: and yes, you need to be done with bearing children. The ablation scars the lining of your uterus, which keeps it from shedding. Also means an egg couldn't attach, ergo no more pregnancies. Hope this helps.
Ablations are life changing! I’m speaking from experience and I have 2 friends that would say the same thing. No pain… just took me a couple days to recover from anesthesia
I got the ablation done over 10 years ago. I wish I had done it sooner. No more periods, no symptoms, no side effects, no pain. And I am well past when I should have started menopause, and I've had no typical symptoms. Best thing I ever did for myself.
On the ablation: I haven’t had it done but my mom did and she swears by it. She recommends it to all women who know they’re done having kids. She said she had mild spotting and cramping after but otherwise, she was fine. I had an iud after my son and haven’t had a period since. Highly recommend if a permanent solution or a surgery isn’t for you.
@@hollylaureano2860 it’s not a perfect solution everytime. Some people’s anatomy isn’t conducive to them. Sometimes they shift and become less effective
@makaithreads2261 you can make your own choices with your reproductive system and I will make mine, kay? “Leave your body alone” is straight up not an option for a lot of us, myself included
@makaithreads2261 girl, you worry about your reproductive health, and I’ll worry about mine. Mai asked and I know someone with personal experience. If birth control isn’t for you, great! “Leave your body alone” isn’t an option for a lot of us.
I had an ablation and it was WONDERFUL. I had it April 4, 2023, haven't had a period since. I do still have ovulation type pains but life is so much better. I was getting anemic bc in my late 40s was bleeding for weeks on end. It has helped me so much.
I had an ablation only because I’m perimenopause and I was have having some issues for several years. Yes it stops your periods forever and they state you shouldn’t get pregnant after having it ever again. I had no issues with the procedure, it was a breeze for me but unsure if it’s for anyone just not wanting periods anymore or for those having issues.
I have (or had) oily skin prior to using grape seed oil on my face daily for at least an hour prior to showering. I know, I know, it doesn't make sense to apply oil to an oily face but it works and I no longer have a shiny, oily face.
I had an ablation at the age of 34 and I had the same period the very next month. He said it doesn’t always work on younger adults. I would not recommend you can never carry a baby afterwards bc they burn the lining away.
I moved in with my sister and her partner and my sister and I share a bathroom….I love helping keeping it clean and organized….slowly but surely we combine what we have and use it up….we will never need perfume or lotions or body wash ever again! lol! I have tons of little samples that I use up quickly….and those hotel things….well I use them too…. we have lots of stuff! Enjoyed your video! ❤❤❤
I’ve missed you. I had the uterine ablation done 15 years ago. My periods caused me to hemorrhage for a month at a time. It was horrible and totally affecting my life. Hello ablation, buh bye bleeding.
Thank you for sharing everything that you do. I love your cheerful disposition and that you try to make the best of things. I started a blog a while ago and it is hard to balance how much to share and how much to keep private.
I'm like you! My Irish father is sweaty and had acne. My Asian mother is hairless and has never had zits. I would have preferred getting the best qualities from my parents (no body hair, pimple free, tall), but I have zits, sweat like crazy, and need to shave my legs.
WOWWWW..U DID AN AMAZING JOB ON DECLUTTERING UR BATHROOM 😊 GREAT JOB 👍KEEP UP THE AMAZING JOB THAT U DO THXS FOR SHAREING 😊LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING UR NEXT VIDEO ❤ MUCH APPRECIATED N MUCH LOVE ❤
I had an ablation, it was a breeze. Sadly it didn't help at all and I had a hysterectomy . Loved it!!! Prior to that I was on massive doses of iron 3 times a day. Ugghh
Great video!!!!! I also have a small mountain of stuff in my bathroom lolol. This was the best thing I could have watched ❤❤❤. Hope you're doing well, girl you are soooooooo beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did some research for us, it’s called an Endometrial Ablation and it destroys the lining of your uterus. It’s used for people with endometriosis and it can reduce the amount you bleed or completely gets rid of your period! 😃
This was legit motivational + I'm always happy to see that I'm not the only person on earth whose skin is like an untapped oil field lol. (Your skin looks lovely, and I know those blotting sheets are a godsend.)
I tried that, I’m waaaaaayyyyyy too oily 😅😅😅😅 probably works for normal people. But for me I get through a quarter of my face before it’s covered and just spreading oil haha
I had it done for medical reasons I was a heavy bleeder every two wks. If you are healthy keep your periods ,you have a period for a reason . I had three kids and I went through a grieving period after because I could not have any more kids. It didn’t hurt but you had to take it easy for two wks after I had it done I found out my hormones were out of whack so if I knew that before I would not of had it done. It isn’t meant for birth control
Bought a reusable menstrual disk and period underwear few years ago. I haven’t bought any tampons or pads ever since. I feel liberated from the financial and environmental burdens simply because of the fact that I menstruate.
Ablation: you have to be totally done having babies cuz you can’t after having it. BUT I was sent for medical reasons to discuss this option and my OB said if you do it too young it can heal and you’ll get you’re period back again. They prefer Doing it closer to menopause
Period Never came back and I was nowhere near menopause at the time. What they tell you is it is not birth control, but I had had my tubes tied at 21, so I was good to go.
6:38 Hope this isn't intrusive but I've tried a bit of stuff for helping with oily skin and I would recommend using niacinamid daily in your skincare 🙈 And idk about that laser thing but I love my menstural cup! I never liked tampons so I was skeptical at first but oh my, Idk how I lived before. I used constantly worry about leaking 🙃
8:20 don't worry about the aluminium! It annoys the heck out of me that everyone just jumped on the bandwagon with this lie because your body really doesn't absorb that much of it through deodorant 🙃 Using aluminum foil on your food actually introduces more aluminium in our system than that, and you'd still need to eat foiled food all day every day for weeks to be in any danger 🙄
I'm 74. I use only soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner. I use baking soda instead of deodorant. That's because I don't want to find out later that X causes cancer. Tina, Al's wife
I had so much clutter before I divorced. I think mental clutter breeds physical clutter and vice versa! When I cleared out my head and my life it was easy to clear out the clutter!
How you answer your own question.. "I don't know why these cancer-causing ingredient filled Secret deodorants give me rashes"... Tons of alt options here! Primally Pure, Crunchi, Beauty Counter, Kora, Ilia to name a few

Yes! I missed this kind of content from you! Glad you feel better
You inspired me to finally declutter my excessive makeup collection. Got rid of over 100 items. I feel so much better now!!

I guess that's a good sign that there's not a lot of clutter to go through anymore 😂

Decluttering is so therapeutic…. divorce is not fun but it looks great on you. You are always smiling.❤
It's nice to see you truly happy!!
Ablations are life changing! I’m speaking from experience and I have 2 friends that would say the same thing. No pain… just took me a couple days to recover from anesthesia
I don’t like anesthesia because I couldn’t breath and felt everything that they did and I woke up catching my breath. I will new do anesthesia again.
Here’s the deal, we can declutter all we want, but if we don’t break the addiction to buying, we’ll stay in the same cycle.
I totally agree with you! Or , at least, why don't we use everything we have before buying something new?

I had an iud after my son and haven’t had a period since. Highly recommend if a permanent solution or a surgery isn’t for you.
My sister had a baby with the iud and when then baby was born it was on his head. But this was along time ago.

The cryoablasion is amazing had it done twice made my cycles to a normal flow not super heavy. Done in office very little down time no pain
Yes! I had Ablation a while ago and it was the best decision. Talk with your doctor about it but for me it was awesome!
Man! I feel you on the hair and sweat! My mom is Indian, no hair or sweat, my dad is Irish… and he gave me all the hair and big pores.
Thanks for the motivation. Cleaned my bathroom at the same time 👌
I def think you should paint your cabinets a light grey or white! ❤

Spray the towel in sted of the mirror
Amazing declutter👍
Loved this video!!!
Had an ablation due to hemorrhaging for over 3 months. I haven't had an orgasm since the ablation, 6 YEARS AGO. I think the nerves are desensitized.
It's been awhile so I don't remember when , but I had my uterus removed, no more periods, best decision ever!
I love doing masks especially the bubbly mask because I relax.
Instead of blotting paper, try the volcanic rolling stone to blot your oil. Lasts a lifetime, less clutter, and much more sustainable.
I tried that, I’m waaaaaayyyyyy too oily 😅😅😅😅 probably works for normal people. But for me I get through a quarter of my face before it’s covered and just spreading oil haha

Yep seems more than half continue having a period
76% success and they can re-ablaze if needed

You are doing the right thing by not showing anyone for their safety. This world is strange if you know what I mean.
I used the depo shots ever 3 months and it stopped my period for years.
Please keep everyone anonymous I enjoy it here 😂😩
Awesome
Hi, don’t get an ablation because it has some possible bad side effects that you will not like later in life. I had one in 2013 and I regret it now.
OMGOODNESS I had the ablashion operation. One of the best things I have ever done. But you may want to have more children. Another to think about ❤
laser ablation is usually for women who have super heavy periods, at least that is my experience with it and why I did it.
