      So amazing!!!! mid video I started grabbing stuff out of hubbies closet and holding it up to him.. "stay or go" (he's still in the "i may need that" mentality, we're working on it) but he let go of about 15 items. So proud! Thank you for the motivation!!! you guys rock! and has anybody ever told you that you look like julia roberts. When you put on the glasses I had instant pretty woman vibes 💚💚 new subscriber

    😂 kathy, I’m so glad to see you pulled out the scarf for the video! You look so adorable. It’s really inspiring to hear the thought process behind why/how you choose to declutter each item. I hope you always do these videos. ❤

    After watching your video I went into my closet and pulled everything out and threw them on the bed. I tried on everything and I’m donating 6 bags of clothes that doesn’t fit, no longer want or there just worn out. I only have 14 dresses left, and 20 shirts left. Still have to go through all my pants. It feels so good to get rid of things I can’t wear. I can’t believe all the clothes I’ve accumulated.

    Girls, you're SO motivating! This video gave me guts to throw out that silly crystal bowl that eats my cupboard space but has never been used in... 30 years or so. Why didn't I do it earlier?

  • @audrey5941
    @audrey5941 10 місяців тому +6

    The idea of revisiting spaces you’ve previously cleaned makes me think of “gleaning.”
    Many years ago I was picking raspberries for a family member and once I’d been down the row I doubled back and picked berries that looked ripe that I had missed. The relative told me that they aren’t really ripe they just look like it now that the ripe ones are gone.
    Though that strategy might not work for picking berries, it seems to work in declutterring.
    Love you guys, you are so fun. ❤

    Glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't care for a backpack as an everyday bag. Me, backpacks are for kids. I'm a grown woman and I want a purse, and that purse must have an outside pocket for my keys/phone/lipgloss or it stays at the store.

I was ruthless… I declutter regularly, ( thank goodness to Flylady)….. so nothing was painful…. But I’m very tired tonight 🤗🤗🤗🌸

    I've gotten rid of sweaters like new because I am not a sweater wearer; why did I buy them then ? Sometimes you have to let go and realize who you are. I also wait about a yr before ridding myself of things, just as a caution against making a rash decision. But usually, I'm right when I put things in the 'to get rid of box'.

    I love these videos every month! I’ve been tallying everything that has been decluttered in my house this year. So far 159 items have left in only two weeks! Clearly we aren’t minimalists, but we are on our way.
    Thanks for your motivational content, as always. 💜

    @sherylstretcher1973 10 місяців тому +11

    Thank you for giving reasons for the items you are decluttering; you both remind me of items that I should also go through in my own home. Please tell your mom that the colors in her scarf look quite pretty on her. From previous videos I know that she does not typically wear scarves, so I wanted to send along a compliment. And whether planned or not, your outfits both coordinated so beautifully. Thanks for yet another interesting video, Shannon.

    Shannon and Kathy, I just LOVE your videos. You both make me smile and inspire me to declutter. I am a new subscriber and am thrilled when a new video pops up! I think I have gone through and watched all of your videos at least twice. Thank you for making the decluttering process easier and less stressful. I started this journey when I started trying to help my mother clean out her clothes closet, dishes, and knick knacks. It is still very difficult for her to let go of things and I may never reach the point that I would like her to be at when it comes to all her stuff but I am taking baby steps to make sure she doesn't get upset. One of her problems is the "just in case" idea and she has kept things that she wanted her grandkids to have, which they do NOT want. Times have changed....no interest in china dishes or knick knacks. But my mom just can't bring herself to donate the items that no one wants. Helping her has motivated me to declutter and streamline my own things in my home. I am glad I found you, and a few other influencers, to motivate me as I clean out my own home and slowly help my mom through this process. THANK YOU!

    I enjoy your videos so much, I've been seriously decluttering for years and am now a cozy minimalist, but as i change and things change I can always find this or that needing an exit. I was close with my mom too and enjoy watching you with your mom.

    This motivates me to declutter yet again! I’m overwhelmed with “cool clutter” that is so hard to get rid of…also sentimental or family items are tough to get rid of… or things that have value that have no sentiment but you don’t have the energy to sell them! I miss eBay consignment stores lol

    Good for you. Every time I've saved clothes because they might fit "one day," I've never wound up using them again, and always give them away. I need to do it the minute I realize they don't fit anymore , large or small. But I sure hope you kept those HULA SKIRTS!!!! 🙂

    Love your videos Shannon. Been watching your older videos too. Have finally gotten the last donation bags and rubbish bags declutter out of the house over the weekend. It feels so good having decluttered 2023 and now we just have what we truly want, need and value. The decluttering process has saved us money, made us more mindful what we spend and tidying up the house is a breeze now. Like you do I'll make sure to always keep a check on any clutter that comes into the house and stay on top of that. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 😊

    STOPPP!!!! You two are painters...so am I. Don't get rid of that devil egg plate. I have one that is white and I use it to mix my watercolors on. I put the paint blob at the top and still have mixing room. The clean water can sit in the center too. It has become my favorite pallet. Try it at least once before you get rid of it. I enjoy your videos when both of you are on. Always a few laughs. I am closer to mom's age and I can understand why she held on to much. I am working on the process too!!! Closets and drawers first!!! I am surprising myself of the clothes I am letting go of ...even though I know I will never wear again. .....and some I NEVER should have bought. Yes! on the decluttering but I do like a decorated home and I am NOT going to live with echos!!! Give the egg plate at least a one shot before you get rid of it!!! Keep up the fun videos!!!
