Started this video as an excuse to clean my makeup brushes. And then while I was cleaning my brushes in the sink, I realized I need to clean our the whole bathroom, which lead me to then mop the floors in my entire house. It was one of those very needed cathartic cleans. All that to say, thank you Alex for cleaning all that nastiness out with me and making me feel super productive. Deeply satisfied and grateful to not take that dust and dirt into the new year. 😆
Ugh those are the BEST cleans, happy to have been part of it ☺️❤️
Please don't feel like you need to apologise for having a private life and not wanting to share everything. You do share a lot! And also who doesn't love a reorganisation video?😊
Happy New Year to you Alex xx
Agree. The prevalence of content creators oversharing is not cool.
Yes, this! We support you, girl and are always grateful for the hard work you put into your content!!!
I have been so into organizing and decluttering videos lately, this is like a dream come true to see you post one. i get sick of hearing a lot of people talk, but it's like chillin with the bros watching your videos 😂
😂 I love them too!
Totally random, but has "bro" become gender neutral, like "you guys" and "dude"? I learned recently than even casual baby boomers are shocked when their Gen X employee (me) says, "duuude, the governor is visiting tomorrow." Apparently he was worried I'd "dude" the governor, too. I assured him I loathe the governor, he'll get no "dude" from me...
Dude yes!
I didn't think I was going to sit through 30 minutes of you cleaning your desk, but it was actually engrossing hearing you speak so openly. 🙏
No need to apologize. We’re all trying to navigate this crazy world. Thank you for all the amazing content in 2023 and Happy New Year Beautiful! 🎉❤🎉
I love how you draw boundaries with what you share and don’t. It’s very refreshing. As much as I love hearing your thoughts on things, you are allowed to have your privacy, and I 100% support you in that. Thanks for what you have shared, I’m definitely in the same boat as you in the sense if working with the expectations I have for myself and others. We got this!
I cannot agree more with your take on things. We are becoming overwhelmed with too many choices too and personally I feel that I cannot fully concentrate on one thing. I am 58 and thought I was above getting caught up in social media scrolling but I am equally susceptible. I hate New Years resolutions, but one that I have is to not spend so much time on social media or at least just watch the people that I truly enjoy. You are among the people that make my day!
Totally agree, I'm 53 and as I look at my priorities, time scrolling is eating way too much of my time. I've gotten too "into" skincare and makeup and find it just eats too much time. Also overwhelmed by decisions. My son is about to graduate college but is living in town while student teaching, so I'm helping him get his "stuff" for adult life, and how to manage that stuff with the least effort. Trying out very simple versions of capsule wardrobe (not getting "strict" & keeping my larger closet for now), capsule makeup, capsule outerwear even (with 8 months winters, you end up with A LOT of outerwear lol), capsule fridge & meals, the whole 9 yards. Reduce decisions, speed up my daily basics, create time & space to get back into dating and get my biz off the ground. Enjoying a NYE binge before I severely limit my feed to people like Alex, who do not trigger my desire to purchase or acquire constant "new." I've stocked up & set purchase subscriptions so I can limit my shopping effort to fresh food weekly & replacing basics. Hoping that I can stay focused on my priorities!!
Good luck! AND lets not be perfectionists about this, we are aiming for a C minus, a pass, and somedays the best we can do is to be kind to ourselves and try our best again tomorrow@@montananerd8244
Agree 100%. I'm 55, and I used to be waaaayyy more involved, creating for and running 3 facebook pages. I've pulled dramatically back. The trolling and negativity, the rush and demand and constancy of people's expectations... it's all too much.
I am a senior citizen who found you during the pandemic and I think you’re terrific. Keep something of yourself for yourself. You don’t owe any of us anything…other than your terrific videos and take on things. Just sayin’!
Wishing this wonderful community a very happy new year! I hope 2024 brings you only the best. Also don't forget to like this video!
Please do a jewel toned Victorian inspired makeup look!
I’m loving these chatty videos, I can relate to you about retreating, you don’t need to apologise, I feel you have more integrity and I respect you for it ❤
An organizing video?!? Heaven! Thank you!!!
Started therapy about 10 years ago. You are SO right about finding the right person. Mine has helped me lean into my true self, being more confident & not apologizing for who I am or how I handle things. Type A people pleaser here 🙋♀️
Sometimes I go regularly & then other times I'll go months without & then go in for what I call a "tune up".
Can't recommend it enough! Glad it's working for you...the initial stage can be uncomfortable but worth it in the long run.
Thanks for sharing! 💕
16:33 As a kid we had to clean the house on Saturdays and to do a good job, finish, have lunch, then play. That was the 80s and 90s for me. Now, because I don’t want to do it on a Saturday to do it all, I’m more relaxed BUT anxiety creeps up because at times it’s not getting done. Then I’m extremely overwhelmed it’s my internal dialogue that I’m trying to change “just do one room” or “just unload the dishwasher” or “just do two loads of laundry”. I hear you Alex and that you for opening up about this ❤😘🇨🇦
Yes, loved this video. Happy to listen to you share and watch you organise makeup 🤩
Also thanks for sharing how hard therapy is! Everyone says it’s good to do but forgets to mention exactly how hard it is to do the work, and keep doing the work regularly 🌸
Yes please, more organizing videos! I like to see the process from people like you who have a million of the same thing and can go "this is for my every day section, this is special/weird section, this is bulk category..." it's also very helpful to see you quickly and easily identify what you're getting rid of. I dwell on things too much. Plus I don't even use it if I can't easily get to it and put it back quickly. I like to see the "boring" bits, like HOW do you store the things, what cups/trays/drawer dividers whatever do you like for what types of things. Mind blowing to even see a dirty vs clean brush cup system, that's pro level status
I do really love these "chill and talk about random sh*t" videos so I am definitely up for more!
The honeymoon phase of social media is largely over for me, too. The amount of time I put myself out there is dramatically reduced in favor for just being in the moment. I love the declutter videos and would enjoy hearing more about your process for keeping / giving up items in your collection.
ive been following you for a few years now, and the reason why your audience is so chill is bc you're so chill!! like you're no bs, fun and just very real and thats why you're one of the 2 UA-camrs that I binge watch / keep up with. you're just very real man
Everclear (yes, the alcohol) works great for removing anything with adhesive. Especially stickers, bandages, medical tape residue (and those horrible sticky things at the hospital that they stick to your body that take your EKG). It works for cleaning a lot of things. I keep mine in a spray bottle LoL it works, just try it once & you'll see.
I LOVED this. I have ADHD and always need body doubling to do organization tasks (unless I'm in a super hyperfocused mode - but that's hit or miss). I opened and shredded 18 months worth of credit card offers, took out trash and recycling, paid a bunch of random bills, and did all kinds of tedious stuff that I never get done. Listening to you talk while I worked was PERFECTION.
Does she have ADHD as well?
Yes. Yes. Loved it. I sat and cleaned some brushes while I watched. I have been debating going to therapy. My husband died in 2019, then c#vid hit. Still so down. This was a great talk for me. ❤❤
Thanks for posting this today, Alex! I'm doing some New Year's cleaning, too! I hope you amd your loved ones have a wonderful New Year! 🎉 And I wish everyone here in the comments section a blessed New Year as well! 💖🥳
I LOVE these kind of videos. I always watch you and Bailey Sarian while I’m getting ready so the longer+more ramble-y the videos, the better! You have the most calming energy+I’m just a big ball of anxiety so that helps tons lol I very much appreciate you and the effort you put into makeup+educating us about it!🫶
I really appreciated this chat. You share a lot and it’s completely reasonable to pull back and protect yourself. It’s basic internet safety!
Your therapy journey is very similar to mine as I worked through different adverse experiences in my life coupled with undiagnosed ADHD. The perfectionism, the arbitrary goals that were hindering me…
It’s been hard work but work well worth it :) you got this Alex!
You really don't need to apologize, take care of yourself, we'll be here! It was such a nice video, I'm now actually motivated to go do some cleaning lol
Hey, Alex! I have been watching and learning about makeup with you for a while now, but I recently decided to try to interact with you and everyone. One tip that I always do now is hold my blending brushes farther back, and it makes a huge difference. Thank you so much! I also loved your show where you talked about using y'all. I grew up in Chicago, moved to Kentucky with my man, then got married and we graduated from Murray State University together. We moved to Western Colorado (not a lot of jobs in KY in the 1990s,) and lived there for a long time. We moved back to KY about 10 years ago. I said " y'all " and one of my relatives looked at me funny. I replied that since I have lived in KY for so long on and off, that I am allowed. As a Midwestern-Southern-Western-Southern girl who thinks you are extremely cool, I'd like to invite you to say, "y'all " anytime! Thank you for all you do! Lili
I love these. Organize that huge bag of makeup and bring us along.
The mirror tilt...I don't wanna look at myself.....sooooooo relatable 😂😊
This was very therapeutic. You also just gave me the motivation to clean and organize my makeup. Thank you. Happy new year!
Happy New Year Alex!!! Thanks for making our life more beautiful all year long!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤
Love decluttering/cleaning/organization videos. It’s something I’d like to do myself more often!
Alex, you’re amazing. Thank you for sharing. I can totally relate. We appreciate you so much! Happy New Year! ❤🎉
Ooo I neeeeed to clean TODAY. Been working a lot. The laundry piled up. I allowed myself (finally) to not do much the past two days. Literally needed to rest my eyes because they got swollen, my under eyes even more sunken in and I looked sick. I finally feel more rested. Anyway…
I love this kind of behind the scenes content. It’s real. So genuine. Just share what you feel comfortable sharing. More eyes on you do mean more scrutiny from an audience who wouldn’t really know YOU.
I will say that we’ll always be here as your audience whenever you post. The pursuit of perfection is one we’ll always chase but rarely, if ever, truly achieve. I looked at my mess in my room and felt a moment of defeat. But simply starting in one area at a time and going from there will move things forward.
Happy New Year!!!!
Alex doing her once a year desk clean, cool 😋 Happy New Year Alex, wishing you a joyous and productive 2024🙏
No one has a right to your personal life! It’s easy for the crowd watching to forget there are very real boundary lines. It’s not all of us, but there are some who seemingly want to hold hands all day every day with content creators . To me that speaks of deeper issues within themselves. Keep doing what makes you happy in ways you feel safe and comfortable! ❤❤
I love the boundaries you set for yourself, even though I’m nosey AF too. Don’t feel bad about keeping them.
This is one of the best videos ever! So thoughtful and self-reflective, I paid attention to every word while painting my nails ♥️
Plssss do more of these 😍 love organizing/cleaning videos and with makeup it’s even more fun
What a perfect time to do this! End of the year. Clean work area, organize, refresh your work space and your mind.
Oh how I love watching and listening to you, Alexandra! Wishing you a grand and glorious New Year. To think that my dark under eye circles brought me to such a thoughtful artist. Keep doing you!! ✨💖✨
Same girl! Watching this while doing some year-end purging of a little of everything! Happy New Year 🎉
Happy new year!
NYE 9PM: watching Alex cleaning her desk. It doesn't get any better than this! ❤ Have a fantastic 2024 with lots of love and in great health, big hugs from the Netherlands 🎉
Love declutter/organizing videos! It always inspires me to do the same!
It made me feel better and I hope it made you feel better as well. I love a good reorganization video and of course the declutter doesn’t hurt either. Happy New Year 🎉
Love the happy videos and engages myself to clean my only messy makeup station. Thank you for bringing you!
Definitely enjoy a chill clean and chat video. Would love to see and hear more ❤
I love cleaning/organization videos. More please! ❤
Loved this and I feel so relaxed now. Loved the book and podcast recommendations also! I would probably watch a vid like this from you on a regular basis! Happy new year! 💖💞
This resonates with me so much and you put it into words perfectly. Thank you
Thank you for a wonderful year of content that has helped me in more ways than i can express. You are a true gift and im so grateful you share your talents with us! Happy New Year's!
Love this kind of videos. And I like to clean and organize my place before the new year starts ❣️❣️❣️🥳
Happy New Year Alex! Thank you for the makeup decluttering - you actually inspired me to start doing mine on the kitchen counter whilst listening to you. Love your work & pls only do however much you want to keep yourself content. Always happy to watch your content, no matter how often or not it pops up.
Happy new year Alex! 🎉 Here for all of 2024’s new organising content 😁
Your desk is dope! I love the cleaning/organizing process and the randome chats are the best. Lets see that bag get some love❤😊
I’ve been organizing since thanksgiving I’d love to see more and happy new year🎉
Loved this, Always so soothing to watch some else cleaning and clearing up areas also listening to a good old Chat ❤❤❤
I like ur chatty videos lol. Happy to see u thriving n sharing things that have worked or is working for u. Happy New Year 🎉
Happy new year Alex, and everyone!!!
This video is GENIUS! I absolutely love makeup organizing videos but ones where you can hear all the makeup sounds lol this video had both the makeup sounds as well as your beautiful voice ❤️🥰 I will be watching this a lot just fyi LOL it's so calming
Loved this video, would totally watch any length of video of you organising your makeup!
I absolutely enjoyed it! Love videos like these, please keep them coming if you feel like it☺️ happy new year Alex🫶🏻✨
I listened to this while folding sheets and sweeping up dog hair. I would use an 'organizing your makeup' video as background noise while cleaning. Go for it!
I concur
I so relate to what you were saying and enjoy your videos so much. You've inspired me to organize my stuff. Please do more. Love ya.
Happy & healthy New Year!! Many blessings for a year full of love, laughter and joy!!!🎊🎉🍾💖💖🙏🙏
I love your channel! Happy new year!❤️
I love makeup organization videos they are sooo soothing please do one if you feel like it, I always loooove your content
This is such a great video. I am with you on not wanting to socialize when not feeling 100%. I struggle with that.
Its always nice watching your videos, and this one u really enjoyed. Please yes, i'd love to see more like this one. Happy New Year. 💜
Love all your videos! Happy New Year 🎉
Happy New Year’s! Yes please to the organizing and random chats video!
please film your organization/ declutterring! this was so good to have on while doing laundry and unpacking from holiday travels 🤎
Thanks for sharing your journey with us 🙏
You never know how you can help someone who is going through the same thing.
Thank you for helping us with make up in 2023!
May 2024 bring you many Blessings and wisdom! 🙏
Great video Alex. It's nice to know we're all the same and enjoy at chat whilst cleaning in our comfy clothes. You are all of us and there is a reason we keep coming back to you. Happy New Year and good luck with your therapy journey. And thanks for being so open with us!!
Timely video; new years is such an uncomfortable holiday for me. I’ve been cleaning and organizing to take some control of it. We appreciate you! 💕
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. I appreciate you and I totally understand you want to keep your some of your personal life private. You continue to be you and we all will respect and enjoy your videos. YOU ROCK! 😉💝
I don’t usually comment on your videos but the points about social media and content really spoke to me. I will say the constant negativity is definitely why Ive deleted social medias. It’s so tiring and draining; deleting it definitely has made my mental health better. Im glad Im not the only one who feels that way.
LOVED this! Did my nails while watching since I didn’t have to catch every second like I do with the tutorials! More please! Would love to see ALL the makeups!❤
Love this style of video to put on in the background while I do stuff I’ve been putting off doing
This is legit so motivating lol I genuinely need to clean and organize my bedroom 😭
I will watch any kind of video you want to do. Happy New Year Alex!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these types of videos from you. I watched your longer chatting video completely in 1 sitting just doing my nails. But I'm the type of person that loves to listen to podcasts, so I'm the perfect audience for this type of content. I just find your videos so relaxing
We enjoyed it girl! Muah, happy new year!
I can listen to you talk about anything, you are always so honest and relatable. Your content makes me feel normal and relieved in knowing I’m not alone in how I interpret life and my own priorities; we are all not perfect and that’s ok. One day at a time and breath. Thanks for another year of sharing your expertise and unique style. Thanks for being open and transparent in saying what you need to say, I get a good chuckle at times. I look forward to more of your videos and learning about make up tips and all the other general details you offer to us.keep being you. Happy new year!!
Omg! I LOVE organization videos! And, I organized along with you!
Also, thanks for showing us what it’s like to have a healthy relationship with the socials… I mean, I guess we’re all trying to figure that out but you sharing helps me personally learn what limits I can set with my interactions!
I appreciate you and all your videos!
PS- although I don’t always comment, I’ve been following you for years. Even my husband knows your voice from the other room! Thanks you! 🙏
Therapy really works for chronical guilt feeling.
It really worked for me
I think is healthy that you set the boundaries of what you want to share with perfect strangers.
I love your content and the kind of good person you are.
Happy New Year Alex. I wish you a 2024 full of enthusiasm, creativity and trust in the nice person you are ❤
I loved this chatty, cleaning up stuff video! It was all really great! Happy New Year, Alex! 🎉🎉❤
I love recent long chatty videos and I hope to see some more from you. And I think you share just enough with your audience, no need to feel pressure, we love you and your videos as they are. Wish you a happy new year, Alex ❤
Loved the random chat and can't wait to see what goodies are in that big black bag lol 😆 I'm ready whenever u are ♡♡♡ Much love and appreciate u very much xxx
OMG, Alex, you are such a boss and this is the exact vibe I need today! Currently crushing it with a winter soul + house decluttering and taking a break to watch you do the same is giving me liiiiiiife. TY!!! 🏖 🔥 🩷 🔥 🏖
Glad we could clean together! 🩷🩷🩷
I just started watching your videos and I enjoy your creativity but I also admire your honesty. I started reading the book and recommended it to my sister who is struggling due to depression. I developed PTSD and anxiety at the beginning of the pandemic. I just finally started feeling like myself again. I think this book will help me in my healing journey. Thanks again. Oh and I am a sucker for organizing things all the time so I love your video. In fact I was cleaning my bathroom while watching 😂
Loved this video. Had it on for motivation to clear up my makeup xx
I really enjoyed this vid! Thanks Alex♥️
Honeymoon period might be over, but your channel feels like a marriage that only mellows with time and the time spent progressively becomes more comfortable ❤.
Even it somehow shows on your videos that you now love your followers more than you did several years back.
Totally agree with having a feeling of calm after therapy appointments. This has been my year of starting therapy too. I have had a few short term therapists through benefits stuff from work, starting with a new therapist next week that hopefully will be indefinite
Thank you for sharing what you shared about your therapy journey. It can be draining and it can be super relieving. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and finding some help and healing. I think that’s beautiful and strong and vulnerable and powerful. I have sooo much respect for you just as a UA-cam creator and person. I support you!!!!!
I know I'm like a week late, but this was exactly what I needed! I spent the whole time cleaning my desk (that I've been putting off FOREVER). Your makeup videos are always awesome, but I definitely wouldn't mind more these organizing chat sessions! Hope your year is off to a great start!
This is just the content that I need to move me to organize my bedroom 😍 Love this type of content!!
I really did enjoy this. normally I don't watch these kinds of videos but it was nice to spend time with you in a more personal way. It was nice to hear you talk about what you're doing off camera as a human. I've been putting off therapy myself and maybe now I have the motivation to finally make the call myself.
I am so glad that you have made it possible for me to have you in my life. I love watching your videos because I find you to be a very nice and interesting person so it feels like I'm hanging out with a great friend. It is something that I truly and genuinely appreciate.
