Decluttering and Organizing My Bathroom
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Hi everyone!! I won't be vlogging this weekend because I'm planning to record some standalone decluttering videos instead. :)
In August, I embarked on a little something I dubbed "Decluttering 101" - basically, I try to declutter for at least 10 minutes and let go of at least 1 item every single day. I have been loving the results but I still have a long journey ahead.
Last weekend, I spent 3 hours decluttering and organizing my bathroom. I didn't end up actually making too much space, but I did fill 2 shopping bags full of old and expired products. I am finding it very difficult to let go of products... I really hate the feeling of "wasting" products but life's too short to use products you don't love so I'm slowly adding old/unwanted products to the trash/donate pile.
As I get used to the idea of letting things go, I'm going to be looking into donating some of my unused & gently used beauty products... if you know of a place that accepts donations in the Toronto area, please let me know!
Lots more decluttering to come!! Hope you all have a nice weekend!! :)

Bathroom declutters are always hard for us women, you did great :)
why is it so difficult lol?! thanks so much. :)
Wow FANTASTIC job decluttering and organizing! I loved this video and I am now inspired to go sort out my collection :-) XO
thank you so much!! i have to do makeup next but i'm nervous..... xx
I can't believe you started decluttering so late in the evening! You got so much done in three hours. Can't wait to see more decluttering videos! Keeps me motivated to get my lazy butt in gear.
haha... i thought i'd be done in an hour so i was pretty tired when i was still declutting 2+ hours later!! i will definitely do more decluttering videos... it's motivating for me as well because i usually can't believe my eyes when i edit the video and see how much i have.
Well done Leslie on decluttering your bathroom. You've motivated me now to do something about my bathroom too. Cheers!
thank you so much!! it's amazing how many things we can hide in out bathroom cabinets! hope you're having a great weekend. :)
I've been trying to do this to my bathroom as well. It's so overwhelming! Great job! It's nice to see a video like this where the after shots are still quite a lot of product. Feels more realistic and more attainable!
thank you - your comment made me feel better! i was feeling a little disappointed that i didn't let go of more. it's very overwhelming but feels good to have everything all organized. :)
Great video, to clean my bathroom cabinets I usually just stop buying products (unless I don't have any) for 3 to 4 months and use what I have, then I do a massive cleaning which usually takes only 1 hour since I depleted my stash of extra products.
Sieressa Woods i have stopped buying products for about a year and a half now but i have so much that it's taking me a really long time to make a dent in my collection. i can't wait to get to the point when i have used up my extra stash of products!! hopefully soon... :)
I'm on a path of decluttering too and it's so much fun and so satisfying! I'm also trying to use up my products instead of constantly buying more stuff if it's on sale or something. I also got so sick and tired of all the plastic grocery bags you buy when you're grocery shopping because there were so many of them! So, I bought some re-usable ones from ebay and now we won't be spending money on grocery bags! Because it does add up.
+Diidada - i totally agree - it's so much fun to declutter and it feels so good! we usually use re-useable bags too and we actually go to a point where we ran out of plastic grocery bags (we had a huge pile of them and used them as garbage bags). i am much more picky when i am shopping now - i too don't buy stuff just because it's on sale, which is a huge change from how i used to be!
petitepearstyle It's so nice to see a change in yourself for the better! We still have a bunch of plastic grocery bags but I'm trying to get through them, they can take up so much space!
i love watching these videos of yours! makes me motivated to clean up my stuff haha
winniethepoohpiglet haha thanks so much!! i'm glad you find the videos motivating. :)
Wow! Very impressed that you started so late in the night! Great job in the end it looks great! I know myself that it is not easy to clear out products I have myself so many and it can certainly feel overwhelming but the result is there! :)
Love these videos on decluttering it motivates me I would have so many clothes to give away..!
Take care xx
thanks, rachel!! i will have to do a little better at getting old products out of my home and not "stocking up" on so much. these videos help because it's a little embarrassing to show how much stuff i have and it really motivates me to stay on track!! clothes were/are difficult too... i donated a lot the last time around and now i find i'm more critical of what i have and it's easier to let go. :)
Yah I guess by doing it more and more often it gets easyer to donate more stuff. But I think we are all like that we accumulate stuff and products and at some point it becomes too much! I myself moved in a smaller space a year ago and it motivates me to declutter and find more storage options! Love this serie! Please continue with it! :))
That was a late night but so worth it. I was able to get rid of a lot of sample products by going on a 2 week binge of just using up samples.
definitely worth it!! it felt really good the next day to have it done, and now when i reach for stuff in my cabinet, i know exactly where everything is! :)
@KathleenP- thanks so much! i'm a bit of a night owl. :) if i didn't have to work, i'd probably stay up until dawn every night! my bathroom cabinets are still too full for my liking but baby steps... :)
@Melly Pink - thank you so much! :)
dang grl thats a lot of stuff! lol so glad ur decluttering you will feel more peaceful promise!
+Natalie Ayala oh yes, decluttering has been very rewarding so far but i still have a long way to go!
ive switched all my commercial products with natural products and now that's starting to clutter me up lol of course I stopped myself form buying another until I fully used up a product. That has helped the most to make sure I dnt get more clutter. Like, why do I need 3 shampoos? five body washes? or four skin cleansers?
Agh! I need to do this! Great job girl!
Lisa Stevens thanks so much! :)
Can you do a hair routine on this hairdo? I love it! The waves are perfect! Wow you have a ton of storage in your bathroom! Haha I always take on projects at night too! I'm the same way I have tons of products that I need to use up! The end result was great...this motivates me to organize my stash too:) XOXO
thank you so much! i am planning to do a tutorial... will do so soon (before my hair grows lol). such night owls! :) xx
Yes always been a night owl haha! Looking forward to your hair tutorial
I am doing decluttering practically every day! Maybe one day I will finish! :)
me too! i am setting a firm deadline to be "done" the bulk of decluttering by jun 30/15... i'm going to do a bunch during the holidays. :)
The first purging takes long time, maintenance will be easier! I would like to save money in 2015, changing my shopping habits buying less makeup, less chlotes, less useless things... I hope to reach the goal!!! :) Happy New Year! :)
happy new year to you too! those sound like great goals... mine are very similar and i hope to reach my decluttering goal as well. i totally agree that the first purge takes a very long time. i'm looking forward to the maintenance stage... i hope it comes soon! :)
Love these type of videos! :-D
thank you!!
Good job! You hair looks amazing
thank you so much, melissa!! :)

Sidney Pruitt thank you very much! :)

Lesley, check you local women's shelters...they often are happy to accept beauty product donations.....great job in decluttering...I need to tackle my bathrooms too.....like you, I am procrastinating....I need to get some storage bins first. I must ask, did you sleep in after this job? Lol.....happy Saturday Bella! 💋
i looked at some but it seems they want more body wash, toothpaste, etc. versus makeup... i will keep looking!! i can't remember if i slept in but probably not too much. i usually wake up between 8-10am every weekend regardless of when i sleep!! last night, i slept at 5am and i still woke up at 10am this morning lol. :) happy sunday!! x
Great job, you have a lot of shit lol I always am doing this to my bathroom storage as well and of course around the same time :)
it's way too much!!! i need to learn to let go lol. :)
