- Hoarder to MINIMALIST| 4 Years of Decluttering Before and After Today, we are going to take a look at the last 4 years of my minimalist journey and see my home's before and after. Since decluttering around 85% of our family's possessions, we have seen incredible benefits!! Our home is easier to keep clean, we save money, and have more time for the things that matter most to us, to name a few! What's most amazing to see, however, is HOW I approached decluttering, WHAT I chose to get rid of, and WHEN I felt like I started reaping the rewards of decluttering. Thanks for joining me!! I hope you subscribe!
HOARDER TO MINIMALIST| How We Got Rid of All Our Stuff
• Hoarder to MINIMALIST|... - Навчання та стиль
Decluttering is harder than you think because of good memories, health at the time, other commitments - so well done. Decluttering is an ongoing process which really never ends. 82 year old minimalist. 😁👍
I've spent weeks and weeks cleaning and decluttering my elderly parents' home. It's hard to part with things, but please don't leave your hoarding and clutter for someone else to deal with. Most likely, they'll have to deal it with during one of the worst times of their lives: when you've passed on, and they are in mourning and already emotionally overwhelmed, and it will become their responsibility right at the one moment when they have the least time, energy and emotional fortitude to do it. It's tragic and exhausting and it hurts!
This times x 1000! It took me years to go through my late mother's things. I even stored her belongings in a storage unit for a year, paid movers to bring them to my house when the unit rent increased, and guess what? Ended up donating 99% of it. What a waste of time and money! Lesson learned. I am determined not to burden my adult children with the same.
However, Dad (due to Depression era mentality) had 55 years of easy-to-trash stuff: periodicals, articles, maps, account statements, tax returns, photos of no one us kids recognized. The rest we auctioned or donated
Tip: buy enough bins to fit the space, pull out 1 item at a time and pop it right into a bin or trash
My sis and I spent a month decluttering my parents’ condo after mom died. Dad fought us every day. It was as a horrible experience. I’m trying to get rid of as much as possible so my kid will not have to deal with it.
Thank u for sharing ur journey. I love how u say it doesn’t matter if it takes a week or today. Bc sometimes time is not my friend. So thank u. The stuff u said helped me a lot. Not to beat myself up. Which of course I do all the time. I’m a single momma and work all the time. So it seems somedays we got home just in time for bed. So cleaning is out the door. Today going to grocery store then cleaning while kids r at their dads😆
My cookbooks are long gone. It is so easy to find great recipes online. I did create a recipe holder 3 ring binder with cooking dividers. For the recipes I truly love, I print them, slide them into a plastic sleeve and into my binder. It’s my best system ever
I do this too. I tend to like recipes from other places. American food is unhealthy and boring to me.
I do the same!!
Enjoyed this video immensely. But i especially like the honesty of admitting to being overwhelmed and then recognizing if it takes a week to do, so be it. Im in my 70s, overwhelmed and doing a little every day. I get discouraged because i see little progress. You give me hope!
I'm 68 and I know what you mean. I've been finding that as long as there's any clutter in a spot, it doesn't look like much is happening. Then when it's finally clear, the change seems sudden. It's taken me over a year, but I'm finally seeing a noticeable difference.
You have beautiful quilts!
=I love the look of items in cannisters, but what do you do with the sugar or flour that is left in the original packaging? Isn't that storing the item twice?
Keep plugging along… 🥰🥰
3 new bins ..just for cans. What happened to the 2 old blue ones?? It may be minimalistic..but it it’s not sustainable… which (for me) is way more important.
I don't agree with some of the pantry organizing methods: 1. The canned goods are in bins so you can't readily see what you have. Do you want to pick up each can to see what it is? 2. If you decant dry goods into jars, don't forget to cut the instructions out of the box and slide it into the jar so it can be read. 3. Organizing doesn't have to mean putting items into bins or jars or whatever. It is possible to be organized with things just sitting on the shelf! It's not all about making it look pretty, it's about function.
How large was her family & how often does she shop for groceries?? I have a friend with a very small kitchen, so she goes 5-7 times/month, between her & the cat running short. I try to go 1-2x/ month & have dedicated a linen closet to my storage, with no pets.
I put everything in bins. I love it. It looks clean and neat. I have some labeled incase I dont want to look through it.
But, cans in bins cleans up the area so much!
Cans are ugly. Lol so put those away.
You are the one who constantly looks at it, and you pretty much know what you've bought.
I think all the ideas are great!
I think so. I have to spend much money on the organiser boxes. They are made from plastic and not good for the environment
My style of storage is a bit different, but this video really motivates me! Now I want to declutter my kitchen and bathroom storage closets even more. I have a piece of furniture in another room with a lot of paper work in it. I want to clear it out, keep only what I need for taxes, file that stuff in my office, and use that space for candles that are used in that room. Your journey helps me dream of a home that serves me better. Thanks for being vulnerable and keeping it real.
@@trinitywahyu8740 NOT hing we do as consumers is good for the environment 🤷🏼♀️ I've been trying to get ppl to listen since 1980 but everyone said for me to calm down 🤔😒❗️Well now it's to big & to little, to late for individual consumers to have any impact at all to many of us would have to change which would only fix the REAL PROBLEMS anyway, drum roll please 🙏 well mega corporations OF COURSE. So we need to force our governments to understand it's by the ppl for the ppl & corporations are NOT REALLY PEOPLE, WTGDF❗️
I am not a minimalist to this extent. But the magical thing about minimalism is, things just stay organised. Effortlessly. Because there is not that much to create a mess - and they are easy to put away fast, because there is actually space for them in the cupboards.
When I first started decluttering, it is actually shocking how much junk I was storing, that I never used. And now that I have less (I think I got rid of about 50% - I didn't have a specific goal in mind), I enjoy opening every drawer and closet. I enjoy cleaning, because I don't have to think about what to do with all the clutter first.
It is not so much about having as little as possible - it is about having the appropriate amount of things for the space, and a functional system to keep it organised.
This video really shows how minimalizing is a layered PROCESS! So helpful to revisit spaces over time and with gained experience! I love your channel!
Yes!!! Peel away the LAYERS of your home a little at a time! So happy you enjoy my content!

She still owns a ton. Having kids isn't minimalist, it's a real problem, especially with the climate crisis. People in the imperialist core shouldn't be breeding. Check out Small Changes, another "minimalist" but with a shit ton of kids. But her house is the most minimalist I've seen for a "family." The "nuclear" family is so fucking capitalist. Read Engels on the origin of the family and private property. Booj as fuck.
@@FancyThatwithCandice some of us did it all at once.
I just came across your channel and this is just what I need right now. My mom passed away 2 years ago and I have been in depression since then. My house is an absolute mess and needs attention desperately. Seeing someone else go through being overwhelmed is a great help. Thank you for being vulnerable.
I feel this. I’ve been here, too. Wishing you peace and happiness.
I promise it will be okay. Just start somewhere, anywhere to begin. A junk drawer is good or whatever you decide. Don't let others deter you either. Just keep going. 💜
I'm right there with you.
Funeral homes can take expired makeup if you still have some to get rid of❤
Thank you for letting me know that!
Years ago when I first realized I needed to do better in organizing my house with 4 children that were born in 5 years. You took me back instantly when you said, "nothing on the floor". My actual first step was "nothing on the table" Day 2 was "nothing on the floor". Sad to say 2 took me weeks. But I'm so glad that myself and my children were able to build that life skill. Love your channel. Minimalism has been a lifelong journey for me. I'm glad to have found a friend along the journey.
With 4 kids you only took 2 weeks to reach 'nothing on the floor' That is a 'miracle' . Two months would have been amazing. You are Super Woman! Well done
@@margaretgreene1929 Sorry, you miss read what I wrote. It took me longer than 2 weeks. I will say that my skills improved after teaching for over 30 years. Just remember that relationships are more important than cleaning skills. But I have learned that children love to please and they thrive best in a safe, structured environment.
This shows how most of us had to go though many decluttering trips to get to where we are :) It is not often you can go from a big house full off stuff to a small studio with almost nothing, it is a process that teaches you what is imported to your life and your life alone
I don't usually like signs with writing but your "Laundry - Good Clean Fun" sign IS adorable!!!!!!
I ❤ this video!! I love how real it is. With kids waking up in the middle, with stuff falling on the floor. But especcially the beginning clips of the areas look just like mine and i'm sooo happy to see not everyone has this perfect minimalist, organized home...
Your 4 1/2 year ago self was so inspiring! Can you imagine going back and having to start from scratch like that again? Thank you to you from that long ago for beginning the process and not giving up! (Even with a couple burnout breaks). Imagine if we all just started now, we could learn, grow, and get better at it over time, and eventually end up in a place that is perfect for us!
I absolutely love my cookbooks!! Even with my journey to be more minimalist I refuse to give them up😊 I love thumbing through the pages looking at recipes, it’s therapeutic to me! Enjoyed looking back and seeing how far you have come! Wow! Great job! Everything looks amazing!!☺️
I like bins. It helps with adhd, and “pantry blindness.” My kids can go to the snack bin, bread bin, breakfast bin, whatever, and see what’s available without being distracted by the whole of the pantry. It’s also great for sticky things like syrup or honey to be in those clear bins. And lastly, a lovely pantry is inspiring and peaceful. We all need inspiration and peace.
I’m so proud of you.
My mom lived with us for 10 years. She moved into senior citizen housing in March and I’m now free to declutter and discard things she pressured me to keep. I’ve been on a decluttering journey for 6 months. I’ve taken at least 4 pick-up truck loads of items for donation. I have a box in my pantry and I’m constantly putting items in it. Once it hits the box then I don’t invite it back and I drop a box or two off every time I’m headed to the city as we live in a very rural area.
I’m constantly touching new areas in my home, garage and barn. In the past 6 months my garbage can has been full every week but two. We are on a journey to use up cleaning and personal products. In the end, the stuff didn’t come to our farm overnight so it will take a period of time to clean it up.
I'm not seeing quite hoarder level, but I appreciate the great transformation!
I was thinking the something! She is definitely not a hoarder!
Actually, as I have gotten older, I find it hard to reach the things that are overhead. I cannot believe your bins for the children's clothes that need to be washed are over the top of the washing machines. Getting up on a stool is dangerous as you get older. And sometimes, we shrink as we get older which makes reaching overhead more of a challenge.
She's at a different stage in life than you. Things that work in our 20s might not work in our 40s; things that work in our 40s might not work in our 60s. Part of organizing entails adjusting for current needs and abilities.
"It's not about beating yourself up, it's about moving forward". Wise words my friend ❤️
Real life moment that I loved: When you went back into the kitchen and showed us your cute little girl on the floor in the pasta! Real life is messy, that's why we're constantly cleaning! My husband never got that until I was so sick, I had to stay in bed for 3 days. He kept the kids and dogs alive, so I'm good with that. But oh the mess my house became! He realized that I spend a LOT of time every day cleaning up! And he became thankful! Great video! I feel inspired to finally tackle my crazy pantry! It is crazy tall (I think my house was built by Amazons), and very deep shelves where products go to die! I need to devise a better plan! Thanks!
It took time for me to work in my clothes closet but I never made a pile. Now it's simpler for me to pick out what I'm going to wear. I don't like having a lot of clothes. I've been decluttering since January 2023 and it is definitely a process. I would never recommend making a pile. Smaller chunks is easier to deal with. I'm 60 years old and I need life simplified and I don't want my children dealing with a bunch of my belongings after I'm gone. Decluttering has been so good for me. I'm even downsizing what I hang on the walls, less for me to dust 👍I know there is more I can do; one day at a time.
I overcame being a hoarder by getting 2 things a day out of my 3 storage lockers, basement, and garage for 7 years except in the most brutal winter months. It doesn't matter if it is a chair or a pillowcase or a pain absolutely every single day I have to get rid of two things I no longer have any storage lockers I have an empty basement and an empty bedroom I don't even keep things in the closet I just use a coat tree.. I just have about one-third of my garage. Anybody visiting my home would think that my home is actually quite normal...except that all but 1 small cupboard has anything in it..The others are all empty... I'm on my way to becoming a minimalist😅
I used to live alone and I was never an organized person. Everything was pilled everywhere, it was hard to clean, I couldn't find anything. But everytime I tried to declutter, I couldn't get rid of things. I had a box with a bunch of papers and broken stuff because I told myself I would repair, I could use later for this and that. I had so, so many clothes, and I couldn't let them go. So I moved with my boyfriend last year, but the thing is that we lived like 30 minutes apart from each other and neither of us have cars, so we had to move stuff by carrying (either walking there or taking a bus) or paying someone to carry it for us (and we are broke students, so....). What this is means is that what was and wasn't important got clear really quickly, becase the more stuff I wanted to keep, more 1h+ trips were needed to be taken. I can't remember half of the things I got rid of, I never missed them. This opened my eyes and made me focus on what is essential.
So nice to see your honest situations when you first started this journey. I totally agree about the Marie Kondo method being so overwhelming! I knew when I read her book that I’d lose my mind if I pulled everything out of my closets. I do much better taking bite-sized approaches.
Great video! As I was watching everything that went into the trash bag, I started thinking about everything in my bathroom that needs to be trashed and it makes me sick to know I spent all that money on stuff I rarely used! I’m slowly but surely gaining motivation and mindset from your videos, just gotta put it to work!
Don’t let that stop you - it won’t bring back the money. Just give yourself permission to let it all go and now you’ll make better purchasing decisions.
The money is already gone, keeping the stuff wont get ur money back. Use it up now or just toss it and lesson learned when deciding if u want to buy more stuff
I felt the same but make myself look at it every 4-6 weeks, asking myself “if you still haven’t thought about using this, can you agree it’s time for trash?” It helped a lot.
Even hair products etc can be useful at thrift stores, esp the little volunteer/cause kind
Just put in the trash 2 items per week.......
The thing I really liked about this video is that it shows how we progress. You were doing the best at the time and now you are doing even better. Truly inspirational 💜 Ha! My new favorite part is baby snow angels in the macaroni!
I love physical books, and currently have two completely full bookcases of cookbooks. I rarely cook from them, but I like looking through them, lol.
Canned goods don’t expire. The date code is only a sell by. So long as there’s no dents or swollen cans, you are good! Love the video. Motivated me to keep going. I’ve been decluttering the past 3 yrs. Not minimalism, just not wanting to be a maximalist anymore😂
Agree 100%, the dates on tins are best before dates, not use by. I have a section where I keep out of date food and I use it asap, applying the system from my childhood. You examine it, if it looks ok you sniff it, if it smells ok you taste it, if it tastes ok you eat it. Once a tin/packet is opened, follow the above steps before deciding to bin it! I rarely have to throw any away, the exception is ones packed in flimsier plastic that can sometimes taste stale. If the tin is in good condition with no dents or rust,the food inside is usually perfectly good to eat.
Have you ever eaten anything with sauce that was there for years? Trust me they do expire and they're dangerous to eat once they do too
It was the title for me‼️ Motivational indeed! I have been decluttering nearly a year. I am a single empty- nester. I live in a 2 bedroom 1.5 bathroom townhouse. I struggle with invisible chronic illness. So the stairs and all have become too much! I applied for a 1 bedroom apartment. It will be a huge task getting rid of things accumulated over 15 years. Not to mention that my daughter left quite a bit of her things that she didn’t want. This video was just what I needed‼️
Whenever someone asks me to fix their pantry or linen closet or whatever space, I take out one or two things at a time and put them in designated spots. Then, when the messy area is empty, clean. Then once I can see how much there is in each category, I can see how to put each thing where it goes. The big piles of mess is too overwhelming.
Congratulations on your 4 years!!! I just celebrated 17 years as a minimalist! It is so great that you were able to find what works for you. My linen closet in my old apartment looked just like yours before I became a minimalist! I am sorry you had a period of burn out. Your closet now looks so pretty!!!!! I love how you organize. I love seeing how you originally organized under your sink and how it is now. I have a tiny container of make up. I've never been a make up person though, so I am sure that was a tough one to organize when you were very into it.
Loved the pantry work. What a huge closet you have!! Mine is itty-bitty.
I do not have cookbooks. The ones I used to have, I made copies of my favorite recipes and put them in a binder. My binder has all my favorite recipes from online, cookbooks, and family recipes! I need to reorganize it, but I use it constantly and am always going through it of things to make each week. I probably need a bigger binder.
It's great you can look back at how things looked before decluttering. Your house looks so fresh and simplified now. I wish I had taken pictures. Sometimes I feel like I still have things to get rid of, but having simplified is great and I'm maintaining it. Great video. You are inspiring. I like that you remind not to shop for things I don't need.
Your attitude, personality, laughter, and smile are infectious. You stay sooo upbeat & positive even in the mist of hiccups. We all like to feel we are not alone in our struggles so thank you for sharing your journey.
Just a note for the future... those little makeup pods have Soooo many other uses if not for you, other's. Stud earrings or small jewelry holder. Making your own natural lips gloss. Sorting beads or findings if you make jewelry and endless other crafter uses. I know it might take a minute, but if you poke a toothpick in dry makeup it will all fall out (I use junk mail envelopes). Then donate and all that plastic will be useful & not in a landfills. Thanks again I'll be back for more tutorials. 💜
I love and appreciate your openness about being easily overwhelmed and needing to break it down into small pieces, but continuing. Your personality makes me happy ! You’ve inspired me to keep on and my home feels great ! Thank-you !
I would have suggested putting the guest stuff in the guest room closet or under the bed. I ended up turning my extra spare room into a multi purpose room after my daughter finally moved out. The guest bed is in living room, I have a sleeper sofa. I just put the sheets and blankets back on the bed after I wash them. I’m thinking about getting some pillows and putting them in vacuum sealed bags and storing them on the bed also. My husband and I each have 2 towels apiece and I’m still trying to figure out where to put guest towels. Mostly, it’s just my grandkids using the bed and towels.
Re the pantry. I prefer to be able to see what my canned goods etc are. I’d be inclined to add shelves to fit the products rather than put things in baskets. I’ve also put all the things like raisins, rice, beans in clear jars so I can see what they are on the shelf.
Your pantry is amazing!! Love that you get yourself pretty containers for the things you do keep. Its how I reward myself too 😊
I’ve been decluttering for almost a year. Finally got to the garage. Decluttered over 200 items! I still declutter 21 or more items per month. I’m not a minimalist, but simplifying my home.
I found your channel today! I’m so excited to really start my journey! I have been decluttering a lot. I really appreciate you showing where you started a little over 4 years ago and now. It has me so motivated! I can’t wait to be at the spot where I am no longer always cleaning.
Love this video! So helpful and so motivating! We’re moving, so I’m currently drowning in boxes 😂, but you have me motivated to declutter & declutter when we unpack (I’ve decluttered as I’ve been packing boxes but I know there will be more to declutter) and then put in simple organizing systems for the new house 💗
For the bathroom (accessories/ tools etc)and hall closet (office/school supplies)I use an over the door shoe holder-Cruise ship travel hack for saving space
I love the longer videos!! You have worked so hard on your home, and it is beautiful and immaculate! This video is inspiration for motivating me to whip my house into shape, thank you so much!!!
Im just glad to hear you donate things instead of just throwing it in the garbage
Oh my god! I love the video! I am going through the same stage now as I am so tired of my clutter! And I have told myself not to think about the time it will take! If it takes several months, so be it! ❤
I have to say you probably need a tea bag organizer. I love mine and I can easily see what I have.
Also, depending on the food it probably was fine to eat. Shelf stable foods are good way longer than they say they are on the package. Even the FDA says they aren’t a true indication of time.
I ❤ the idea of using a set of tongs to assist with laundry! What a great idea for reaching items in the bottom of the washer! I have a long handle "gripper," and I use it constantly. I'm a big fan of anything that makes my life easier! 🥰
Nice thing about glass jars you can see through them. And then you can go and save money and buy the food bulk.. So much more attractive
I'm not seeing quite hoarder level, but I appreciate the great transformation!. I'm not seeing quite hoarder level, but I appreciate the great transformation!.
I like your video but not everybody can’t afford all those bins. I started trying a few bins but after spending $30 on 3 Walmart bins I decided I couldn’t go that route.
It took me MANY years to be able to afford bins that would work in my space...maybe 7 years into working for youtube. I made due with dollar tree bins in the meantime. They were not perfect, but did make the space better!!! Do what you can!
U DO NOT need bins, i dont use them at all except a couple in the bathroom and my bedroom to keep all the small items together like my makeup or hair buckles, i do not keep food, towels, etc etc in bins, thats what the shelves and cupboards are for
My nan taught me to organise with carboard box's. Some she wrapped in floral contact paper to make them look prettier but its not necessary for it to be useful. Just cut the tops off them 🙂
I could afford nicer now but still reuse cardboard boxes.
I stumbled upon your channel & find it really helpful in my own decluttering journey! One of my favorite parts of this video is your sweet baby girl, making “macaroni angels“ on the kitchen floor from spilled macaroni!😄❤️
First of all, you are such a bright, happy and positive person. Your very honest approach to hows and why's of decluttering and minimizing is so very realistic and do-able! Please do make more videos on clothes, kitchen & store room declutter and minimization. Thank you very much. Keep your smile on.😊
I rally loved that you shared the reality of decluttering and organizing in the kitchen, that’s what I’m doing today, my kitchen really needs it. Thanks for the video, I love your energy and positive attitude.
You should be proud of yourself that you have learned from your mistakes and that you are sharing it with the public
Amazing! I love this video where you show the the three stages because I am somewhere between your stage two and three and I really really appreciate seeing this!
glad im not the only one that get overwhelmed easy.
I needed this. I can relate. It’s overwhelming. And the difference between minimizing first round to later rounds years later is exactly how it’s been for me and it was so REFRESHING to see your progress and updates!!!
I went from living single to having a boyfriend, my brother and 3 nephews, 3 cats and one large dog ALL live together over the last few years. We have so much STUFF. This is so helpful to me to know it’s ok to do in stages. THANK YOU! ❤
I just started using the pantry check app to help keep an inventory of all the food in our house. It takes some getting used to going in and deleting and adding things, but I’ve loved it. It helps you see what’s about to expire and I use it to meal plan around that. It holds 200 items for free, after that is a paid version, but I’m doing a free trial for like 2 months before committing to it and you don’t have to enter credit card info for the free trial.
Loved seeing the before and afters!! I was super impressed by all of the make-up that was decluttered!
I love that you show real life of decluttering with kids!
💕This was so fantastic!!!! Love the before and after and years later. Such great content!!! Thank you!💗
So happy this was motivating!! Thanks for watching!
Clear containers is better. I realize you are doing it on a budget. Good Job!!!!!!
I like that you broke down your work in chunks and peaces. The first thing I recognized as I did this with our flat (and I am still not done)is, that it is overwhealming and frustrating to pile all and then going through it. So I start every time with a corner (or as you said „a project“) and work through the topic until I am satisfied. And it can be that it takes several days. But that does not matter as long as I see progress even in little things. The good news are: the often you do this the more you will get a routine and a view for what you really need and what has to go 😀
So neat to see all the progress!
That was cool to see the progress!
Thank you for the laundry room before and after. I’m not exaggerating when I say my laundry room is the same as your before photo. Same size, same shelf, cans of paint, step stool, cleaning products, light bulbs…same!
The most eye-opening thing you showed me is that a normal sized laundry basket cannot work in a laundry room this size! I have the same teal boxes in my garage…same! I will move them to the laundry room! I am so excited about this and looking forward to my laundry room not being a mess! Thank you so much!
Okay, to say u were a hoarder is a huge stretch. This is a true mental disorder that shouldn’t be taken lightly. However, ur lack of organization and then slowly “getting it together” process was great and encouraging to watch. Thk u for sharing ur journey.
Watch Joshua Becker! He does short videos on how to do it so you don’t get burnt out & make it a permanent sustainable life change versus just a phase.
😊😊
But watch Joshua Becker! He Changed my life with just a few sentences. It’s about creating a peaceful space but also helping your budget. Almost everyone has excess funds, they’re just spending it. For example, ladies if you have as much nail polish and makeup as the lady in this vidoe, you’re wasting money. Beaty products expire before we use them all. Whatever you run out of
I have a few cookbooks, and a lot of printed out recipes. I also hate using a device for reading, and planning ❤
Love that new linnen closet!!!! 😊
Luv your declutter ideas thanks for sharing.💜
I have been watching since the beginning of your minimalism journey and you have inspired me so much! So much hard work has gone into your journey. Amazing!
I can so relate to your video.
I am on the journey to get organized / declutter and get upset with myself . Just recently I have been realizing this is a journey not an immediate fix. I also have ADHD so my new way of dealing with things is to do 1 area or category at a time example jewelry. This seems to work well for me.
Thank you so much for your honesty
Even if you do not want to you tube still take a photograph of the area at the start,it is reassuring when you take progress photos that you have decluttered or organized
lOVE IT, SO GLAD THAT I FOUND YOU
You have come a long way, Candace! What an awesome transformation you have made through the years. I never saw your old footage from your makeup days. Wow! Just think of the money you save now.
Great job! I love when FORM meets FUNCTION. BTW you’re makeup is beautiful
Wow! So proud of you with the makeup, thats great!!
This was so great and motivating to watch.
Real and very inspiring. Loved your honesty.
From overwhelmed to satisfied.
The end result is beautiful.
A wide-mouthed canning jar funnel, sold in large hardware stores with the canning jar supplies, makes it easier to pour items into the jars. I use mine constantly, worth having (and I'm not a shopper.) Call the store ahead and see if they sell them.
I love this!! This is one of the only decluttering videos I've watched that genuinely reminds me of my house and the way it looks when I'm sorting stuff. Thank you for the honesty xxx
Thank you so much for this…very inspiring! I’m in the process of decluttering and to me it feels as if I didn’t even make a dent! 😭 I still have so much stuff to go through and get rid of. 😫 You give me hope!
I feel you. I found that as long as there was any clutter in a spot at all, it just didn't look like I was making progress. When the last bit was finally gone, the difference seemed sudden.
I use trash night before trash goes out in morning to get a box ready of trash recycle and keep so I'm doin something to get what I need to get out. I get done a few things out of thr refrigerator and then if I didn't clear the kitty litter clumps I'll do that knowing trash is Tuesday morning
I’m so glad you made this change. Makes life easier. Great job!
The toys and linen closet is so inspiring ❤
OMG, YOU ARE THE BEST!!🎉
I think I have more build up of clutter. I lost my mother to Brest cancer this last summer and we fought hard for a year and a half before hospice. Almost a 2 year fight we lost but I’m grateful for that caring time I had with her. I made alit of purchases in that time and got rid of nothing so I have a huge task in front of me. But small projects are better for me. Thanks for the tips cause Mari condo way it too much for me
