"Back in the day" I thought that was funny when you said that in reference to old photos and double prints. I remember in high school my best friend and I would take lots of pics and we thought it was fun to get doubles so we could each have a set! lol It's hard to think that it was "back in the day" but it sure was! I got a laugh out if it. :D Also, I have been decluttering cardboard boxes in my basement. You would think that I run a mail order catalog business with all the stuff I have to ship and pack with! I got rid of not just the boxes but the dog hair and cobwebs that were stuck to the boxes! WIN!
Glad you are back and glad you had a nice break, I took a break from social media almost 2 months ago, except for YT and it was so freeing that I went ahead and deactivated the accounts and now I have more time to myself, my pup, nature, food prep, watching influencers like yourself that give me tips for a better quality of life. Ty for your dedication and sharing your knowledge with us. ✌🌱👑💚🌻
I’ve gotten to a point where I am fairly minimal in most areas of my life. Some areas I just am not motivated to buy new items so I don’t find I need to declutter often. One area I am not as minimal is skincare and makeup. I love to own and use these products. I am more intentional in purchases, however I know I have a lot more in these areas than other people. However, I found that keeping an inventory of these items with a goal in mind for each item type (ie eyeshadow, lipstick, etc.). This inventory that I update a few times a year, help me to pinpoint those items that didn’t work (for donation) and also promotes me using up products. I’ve done fairly well with this system in keeping the # of products down so that I feel I’m coming closer to my goals.
Welcome back. Have missed you. I love decluttering. My Son gets married in September and can’t wait to get his room sorted as he has the most stuff in the family. Will miss him though. Peace and luv Pammy
Thank you so much...the suggestions and way you broke them down were so helpful and simple. I am only halfway through the list and was able to get rid of quite a few things.
We are just heading back into lock down for six weeks from tomorrow. I have started labelling the things I have decided to keep in the hobby area. One of my reason to minimise is so I could find time for projects I enjoy. 18 months in, I still didn’t have time so last week I managed to set aside a day! Finished four chairs and a sofa (upholstery). Sorted the shed and garage before hand! Made my house bigger!
I had no idea you were back, I didn’t get the notification even though I have the bell turned on. Anyway, great ideas for decluttering this month - I’ve done some but not all. So glad to see a new video from you!
It’s so nice to have you back! I really enjoyed listening to the peaceful, relaxing music that you posted last month. Waiting for your future videos eagerly...
Glad to see you back! Project Beauty Share can be a great place to donate beauty and body care products! There are restrictions, of course, so check out the website, but it can be a good source to donate body care products that you won't be using but are still good.
Great video Sarah! Glad to see you.... I am relaxing in front of the fans today. It is so hot. I will work on decluttering tomorrow by adding to my bag of paperwork I started on.
Really enjoyed this video, Sarah! I'm glad to see you back in full swing, and the ideas you mentioned in this video are some that I've tackled myself. Thanks for all your hard work
Sarah, great suggestions for finding 15 items to declutter this month! I am on it! Also, loved feelings of accomplishment as many of the areas have been addressed and it is easier to revisit them now. Being more minimal than loved ones and friends, your support means so much to many of us 💕🎶💐
I like to take photos/magazine pics and create cards or tags instead of buying them. I even repurpose cards I recieve for cards or tags...people love them! 🙂
Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful, refreshing time away. Great ideas here-pots and pans is a really good one for me. Love your top, by the way-very flattering.🌷
I've decluttered my place. The only thing I have left is books. I was donating them to my neighborhood library, but it's been closed since March. I'm thinking of calling a senior center or assisted living facility or nursing home.
Also schools, if the books are kid friendly. We will return to the classroom (I'm in California, USA and we are starting the year distance learning) eventually! The other thing I do is we have a lot of those little neighborhood library boxes, I don't know if you have them where you live, but they're great (even though I usually come away with other books in return!)
Hi Sarah. Good to see you 💙 Comfy is best 😊 Your magazines in school reminded me that I donated some supplies to a primary school that used them for the wee ones to make cards etc so worth asking them. Thanks for sharing.
Sarah, I am a new subscriber from Indonesia. If you don't mind, please add subtitles in your video. So I can clearly understand your vlog. I am afraid if I take it wrong. Thank you, sarah. And I love your videos anyway. Keep the good things.
Hi Lisa! I'm so glad you enjoyed the music I posted! At this time, I don't think I will continue posting since I have other topics I would like to prioritize, but I could see myself doing more someday!
Hi Sarah! I do not know How you spell your name, sorry. I am new to your channel & wanted to say it was exactly what I was looking for!!! I have been working on minimalism in my life since 1990's. So, I am going threw All your video's starting today 8/23/20. 😃
Unfortunately I am married to an “over buyer” and due to my health challenges he does most of the shopping. This causes me some anxiety. Ugh! I think I’ll keep him and live with some extra “stuff”.

I love that story, Laura! Sharing the pictures with a friend is a great use of those doubles! Congratulations on all of your progress!
I feel like I've decluttered so much it's hard to find items to get rid of! But it feels so good so I keep trying. Thank you :)
I remember that feeling! Hopefully this video series will help!
fighting blind I feel the same way, I find I look in closets and drawers, but I am so decluttered
Same! :))))
Same! But I’m still able to find 1-2 things each day to declutter if I look hard enough
I guess that's a good problem to have!

The make-up and skincare inventory is a great suggestion! Thanks for sharing, Alexandra!
Welcome baaaaaack! ❤️ Thanks for the list. As a dedicated declutterer, I still feel like there's so much more to do.
Aww, thank you! Keep plugging away!
Yay lovely to see you back 😁 have missed your content ☺️

Great video Sarah! Glad to see you.... I am relaxing in front of the fans today. It is so hot. I will work on decluttering tomorrow by adding to my bag of paperwork I started on.
Thank you, Jenny! It is pretty hot here, so sitting in front of fans sounds like a great plan!

Happy your back, you have been missed 😊
Aww, thank you!
I've decluttered my place. The only thing I have left is books. I was donating them to my neighborhood library, but it's been closed since March. I'm thinking of calling a senior center or assisted living facility or nursing home.
Congratulations, Marsha! A senior center would be a great place for book donations!
Also schools, if the books are kid friendly. We will return to the classroom (I'm in California, USA and we are starting the year distance learning) eventually! The other thing I do is we have a lot of those little neighborhood library boxes, I don't know if you have them where you live, but they're great (even though I usually come away with other books in return!)
Hi Sarah. Good to see you 💙 Comfy is best 😊 Your magazines in school reminded me that I donated some supplies to a primary school that used them for the wee ones to make cards etc so worth asking them. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sandra! I bet those magazines were very helpful for those young students!
Loved your video - for out of date liquid soap & shampoos instead of binning I do floor or car washes
Thank you, Sharon! That is a great option for liquid soap and shampoo!
Hope you got some well needed R&R. Welcome back!
Thank you so much! It was a very restful time!
so happy to have you back 🥳🥳
Thank you! I am excited to be back!
Sarah, I am a new subscriber from Indonesia. If you don't mind, please add subtitles in your video. So I can clearly understand your vlog. I am afraid if I take it wrong. Thank you, sarah. And I love your videos anyway. Keep the good things.
Thank you💜 Welcome back
Thank you, Meloni! I am excited to be back!
I sit in the hairdressers and go through my email inbox and unsubscribe from emails I don’t want, it feels great!
That is a great strategy!
Hi
I’ve really been enjoying the music you’ve been posting. Will you continue doing that? It has been nice to have in the background while working 👍😀
Hi Lisa! I'm so glad you enjoyed the music I posted! At this time, I don't think I will continue posting since I have other topics I would like to prioritize, but I could see myself doing more someday!
Now I have to go through my purses.
Sord of in a buying state right now because when the pandemic hit it made alot of things nice to have impossible to get like an extended camping trip.
I totally understand that!
Welcome back!!
Thank you, Kristen!
Glad you are back! Hope you had a restful time off :) looking forward to seeing your new content!
Thank you, Jaclyn! It was a very restful time!
So happy to see you again!
Yay! Thank you, Lindy!
Yay. Love these vids!!!!
I am so happy to hear that, Trudy Ann!
Hi Sarah! I do not know
How you spell your name, sorry. I am new to your channel & wanted to say it was exactly what I was looking for!!!
I have been working on minimalism in my life since 1990's. So, I am going threw All your video's starting today
8/23/20. 😃
Hello! Welcome to the channel! I really happy to hear that!
Unfortunately I am married to an “over buyer” and due to my health challenges he does most of the shopping. This causes me some anxiety. Ugh! I think I’ll keep him and live with some extra “stuff”.
Haha I'm sorry, Alison! Maybe store pick-up could be option?
Alison Eichler I have the same problem what do we do, I want him to get rid of so much but he hordes and hordes
The first thing i decluttered in my journey to minimalism was my husband. It worked for me, but i do realise it's not for everyone. 😉
I clicked so fast
