Something my DinL OFTEN says when she visits my house is, "your house is so peaceful." I believe what she's really noticing is the clean kitchen surfaces, the lack of clutter throughout & the calming effect created by having an easily maintained home. It pleases me, for her, that she has found a place of respite. ♡
My lovely DIL says the same! They have given us two beautiful grandchildren with another on the way. Whenever they visit, she always says how peaceful our home is, and never wants to leave! We love having the family over, and giving them all a restful place❤️🇬🇧
mmmm....good points, but I feel the same about towels as you do about dishes. White only, they always match, love that they can be sanitized, and no, they don't have stains, some I've had for years. When they become well worn they become cleaning cloths or rags for vehicle maintenance.
When I turned 40, my make-up turned on me! I broke out in a rash that sent me to the doctor (and yes, I had new make-up) A switch turned on in my body and I became allergic to the ingredients in most make-up. I'm too cheap to buy the $50/bottle foundation that doesn't cause hives and itchy skin! So! Bye Bye make-up! Ditto to candles, wax melts, etc. For some reason, now they cause headaches. The plus side is I no longer spend money on these items, nor do I have warehouse them in my home! WIN!
I did the same with white towels. They look beautiful.....for a short time. Gave them to the animal shelter years ago and bought color towels. They still don't need replacing.
I realized awhile back that I'm using hand towels from the 60s or 70s. They came from my great grandmother's house, and then I also have my Grandmother's hand towels that are at least 90s if not 80s. The ones that are older than me are starting to show wear, but the ones I've bought fell apart a long time ago.
Just a tip: Make sure you can reach your shut-off values under your sink, and never put anything under the sink drain. When your plumbing fails, you will lose your items.
Great video I hardly wear makeup and I really don't miss it. You really don't need all that stuff when you travel. If you run out of something you can go get more. There are stores when you go places. We don't Tra El got rid of all our luggage when we moved
I stopped wearing make up about four years ago. It was such a waste of time. I don't miss it. I'll put a little bit on maybe for a wedding but that's it. Really simple skincare routine too. Just Trilogy cleansing facewash in the shower at night.
I’m glad you got rid of that old pool table. I definitely wouldn’t keep that if you felt like there was something off with it. I think you were listening to the promptings from the Holy Spirit for you to get rid of it. It’s important to keep our homes free from things that invite bad feelings. Thanks for your video! It’s a great reminder for me to keep going in my decluttering journey. I think I heard you are in UT. I’m about 30 min south of salt lake! We should be friends! You’re awesome.
Great ideas! My problem is finding Where to go/store the declutters things? Don’t bag them until you can go to Goodwill/wherever? Or do you box them? Where does it go until you can get it out of the house?? That’s my hardest thing with decluttering!!! Help! 😮😊
Keep a donatable donate box/tote. When it's full or when you can, you take the whole thing to donate. Meaning the box/tote itself is also to go, so you won't go through it again. Please also remember that going to the donation place is worth your decluttering time and energy. Good luck! ❤
I store all the decluttered items in the trunk of my car in black trash bags. I try and take a load to the donation at least every month so my car doesn't get too full. With 5 in our family, we have to keep up on the decluttering on a regular basis! If you live with just yourself or fewer people, you will probably only need to go every couple of months!
@@WorrierKitten that’s just it, I can’t stand a box sitting around a decluttered room I worked so hard on! But thanks, ❤ Oh and storing it in the garage or something like that just gets shoved to the back 😢 I’m a mess! 😂
@@danacobb2229 I completely understand, I was like that too. Give yourself some grace and be patient, knowing that this is a process that you have to go through and it'll be better in no time! Now I manage to stick them into my now fully decluttered and empty cupboard or in my also fully decluttered laundry room if it's a bigger stuff. I try to donate twice a month so it won't take much room for too long.
I have to say, with your minimalist aesthetic, it’s surprising me that you took five pieces of luggage to Europe. I just traveled to Europe for two weeks with a carry-on only. Granted it was just me but five seems excessive.
Hey Simply This Life, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
This sounds good if you don’t have a hoarder husband.. you wouldn’t believe how many electronic cords and chargers we have that fit nothing we have, but “you never know “.

Both of you must be such good souls as well as fortunate to have such wonderful relationship with your DinL.. ❤❤
OHHH dear lord wow i did this too and let me tell ya i just threw everything away and i was soooo much happier and my home is so peaceful and calmer

My skin is SO DIFFERENT now that I'm almost 40. Suddenly everything emphasizes dryness and fine lines!!
Try n get steam on face as home facial once or twice a week, it will cleanse the skin and naturally nourish it..

Yes, I sage old items I bring into the house if they are old

Hi! I was wondering what is the jewelry hanger thing in your closet?
OHIO??? What does that stand for on you daily TO DO list?
Only handle it once!! If you pick it up, you have to put it away ❤️
I wondered the same thing! Thx for asking.
Id be overwhelmed with even what u cut down to.
Great ideas! My problem is finding Where to go/store the declutters things? Don’t bag them until you can go to Goodwill/wherever? Or do you box them? Where does it go until you can get it out of the house?? That’s my hardest thing with decluttering!!! Help! 😮😊

@@FancyThatwithCandice that’s a good idea! Then it’s not still in my house or garage!! Hmm maybe that will work 😊. Thanks

What is in your cleaning/dusting spray?
I love using the mrs meyers sprays. Their seasonal scents are SO GOOD!!! I also use the Thieves spray by young living
