Alex is the most charmingly sarcastic guy. You both seem so happy together and it makes me smile! 😄
I enjoy watching decluttering vlogs..gives me the motivation to clean up! You did a great job sorting through your bits and bobs! It’s a privilege to receive PR goodies.. these companies honour you and feel you are a great ambassador of clean, vegan products.. can I be cheeky and say..you can always do a PR goodie box giveaway! Would love to receive these!😊
I think I will do these more regularly!
Influencers are like editors, it’s their literal job to share new products with their audience. It’s not comparable to a personal collection. It’s work.
Very true
You’re not a terrible person for getting PR. It’s part of your job. ♥️♥️
I am a senior senior and dropped a size. I expect this trend to continue, so must go through clothing frequently. I tossed my old summer socks and undies and replaced with fresh new ones. A basic supply of new shorts, jeans and tops were in order as well, so the ones that were falling off were all donated. Zero jewelry or make up, media, I keep only essential documents . Photos are all distributed. I had a meeting with children and family heirlooms are written down. I have read as much as possible and went to an estate attorney to avoid leaving children with work. I know this sounds sad but is a positive relief for everyone.❤️
Hi Jeanne - As a daughter who is currently sorting through a mountain of paperwork, possessions and doing all that is involved when there is not a Will with one of my parent’s estate.... I think that it is so thoughtful and loving of you to have all of your estate sorted for the future. A wonderful gift for your children.
Maddie - so many people said it….your declutter videos are inspiring! They remind us #1 that it should be done more often & #2 how to do it! Blessings & Hugs! 🧡🌻
❤️❤️❤️
Your favourite videos of mine are your decluttering videos, what I eat in a day/week videos & your daily/weekly vlogs plus any thrift hauls you do!
Thank you for keeping it real. A lot of times we get the impression that everyone else has their home tidy and decluttered and it’s so refreshing to see your honesty!
So lovely to see Alex as usual - a real pro at the decluttering!!
We love your videos thank you 😊 your so honest and always cheers me up 😃
On the topic of skincare, as you said it helps your work and relationships with brands which is completely understandable. Could you offer bundles for people to buy at a lower cost than normal so they could try something new that may be unaffordable normally perhaps? Just an idea! ✨. Love watching your videos! Xx
Lovely idea! I will keep this in mind x
I always appreciate your perspective and acknowledging both the privilege and burden that can come with being an influencer. "Sustainability" is such a trend these days that I see so many influencers hopping on the bandwagon who are not thoughtful or reflective on this at all. The amount of times I see the words "sustainable" and "haul" in a video title is ridiculous. To me, these things are basically mutually exclusive. That is why I so appreciate you saying that certain things you need to do for your job are not "normal." I think so many influencers neglect to address this, and leave the impression on their audience that we can buy our way out of climate catastrophe. It is not a human right to continue consuming to the degree we do, and I feel like so many people act like it is! Especially when so many green-washed companies are not very sustainable at all!
Love your videos. They are really relaxing especially when I’m anxious
This makes me very happy!
This was so soothing to watch. You seem really content and in a good place right now Maddie and I'm really happy for you
Thanks for this video. I spent the whole weekend decluttering and it feels amazing!
these are my favorite videos ever thank you!!! sending you so much love madeleine i hope you are well. thank you for inspiring me everyday
I can’t believe how little product you have. I have seen other influencers with closets full. I love my Nordgreen watch. I’m hard on my jewelry and it looks as good as the day I bought it. The band selection is fantastic and the idea of having just one watch with so many looks is sustainable.
Ahhh that’s so cool you have one! I’m excited to wear mine out and about now!
If you don't want some of your skin care products and toys family members dint need it why not donate some to a woman's shelter I'm sure they would really appreciate it it will give confidence where there may not be any we do have one in gruel redruth area I'm sure of it love sue camborne xx
I love your explanation of the skincare decluttering. I can’t imagine the anxiety of randomly getting a bunch of things all the time while trying to be sustainable! It’s nice to watch these types of videos while decluttering myself, to keep me company and motivated :)
My friends and I did a home spa night recently, where we brought all our skin and hair stuff, swapped stuff around if it wasn't working for us, and gave each other facials and it was SO NICE. And I learned a lot about proper skincare routines which was great too
Thankyou Madeline great video figuring out how to organise is the hardest.
I was having a rough day but this turned it right around. Thank you for being you
Same! So glad to come home from work and watch this before dinner ✨
I love it when you and Alex do videos together because it makes me laugh at how similar me and my partner are to you guys 😂 Literally, Alex's humor and mannerisms are IDENTICAL. I love it
Hi Maddie we had a little chuckle at Alex when it came time to declutter his clothes. Love his sense of humor. The watch is beautiful. Looking forward to part 2. ❤
Thank you! Xxx
Madeleine your vlogs makes me so so so happy and I really really enjoyed watching your vlogs so so much you inspired me so so much and I wish you reach 600K Subscribers very very soon!💓😊😊
I’m so jealous of all the beautiful skincare products you have decided to keep. I have been really into skin care the past year it really has become a self care thing for me too! I get where your coming from it’s so enjoyable and makes you feel good! So why not! ❤️
It really does! Happy for you ❤️
Loved watching this video. You say things in such a nice, honest way. You are a pleasure to watch. So down to earth…. Keep it up!❤️
Aww thank you so much!
Hi Madeleine. In a way, I feel that content creators/influencers should just own every part of their jobs: yes you get PR, yes it's very cool when it's stuff you love, yes most people would do the same as you. I think you don't have to keep justifying yourself and your job. People have to get it now, or move on, you don't have to keep reading awful stuff, and (in my opinion) you certainly don't have to keep explaining/apologizing for parts of your work/life. We get free content, we can move on if we don't like something, we can be adults and stop inflicting upon ourselves the apocalyptic viewing of baskets full of skincare products (sarcasm). Keep doing you Maddie, love the video, always very inspiring, thank you!
when i hit 30 my body did quite a few changes...but what stood out the most was my skin started to break out, which was out of the ordinary. I am still trying to get it figured out tbh...and it's been 10 years. You're very lucky to have the skin care arsenal you have! Don't feel bad about it, and thank you for sharing the variety of products you're gifted.
I really love you, I actually burst out laughing when you said not to say anything naughty about what you have. I love all of the stuff, it's so much fun using this and being a girl. I totally understand how hard it would be to go through things and to weed them out. You're very blessed that you get these things as an influencer, but I know from watching you that you're very conscious of keeping things sustainable and real. God bless you 💜💜💜
I love the Evolve Bio- Retinol + C Booster. And I just want you to know that I love your youtube vlogs especially the declutter and minimalism ones, it always gives me new inspiration to declutter 😊
Thank you so much! And thanks for the recommendation
I just decluttered all my stuff, I had so much because I thought it a waste to throw things away even though I never used them. I'm bad a skin care routines haha. But now I used an app to scan all my products to see if they contained micro plastics. And I'm finally ready to let them go! Feels really good though! I get that you get send a lot of things, also unsolicited, that's just how it works.
Hi Madeleine! Just wanted to say I love your videos. ❤️🌸👋
Good job done!
Beautiful watch
If I’m being honest, It’s hard to not judge influencers that have an enormous skincare pile in their bathrooms, not specifically you but one influencer I watch. Especially after watching a cleaning or decluttering video of yours, I watch hers and I’m like “why doesn’t she just cancel all these PR subscriptions, it’s all such a waste even after giving things away”. thank you for giving me that reminder to stay mindful and remember that our lives are different.
.
I watch a London blogger who does that! She has much more stuff.
I totally understand. It’s a tough balance and I am not perfect. That’s why I’m making a difference this year by saying no to most PR. It is a learning curve and to be honest very exciting when awesome brands what to send you lovely things. But also it is how we make our money, and it’s just part and parcel of it. It’s how you build relationships with brands. I’m finding my balance a lot better now because it really is getting too much.
Wow so satisfying the declutter of skincare and all the power to you!! Totally get it with your job it isnt the same for those who do not do what you do lol i wanted to ask what brands do u use for the reusable period pads? ^^
Very pretty watch!!!!
Did you change your diet lately or have any more processed food that might be causing the breakout? I love a good decluttering! Working on my own cluttered mess right now! Thanks for the additional motivation!
Alex is so funny, thanks Madeleine 😊
So glad we got to see which beauty products made the cut to the cabinet 🙏🏽🥳
Cheat sheet: so from what I’ve learnt from warching too much derm youtube (Hyram, Cassandra Banks, James Welsh) basically never ever layer any of these: retinol / vitamin c / aha acids.
The only acids that’s ok to layer would be hyaluronic acid and then if you have a cleanser with salicylic acid (like the inkey list) because that washes off, you can get away with that too! I like to do vit c serum and moisturizer with spf during the day and at night I give myself a break and don’t necessarily use any active ingredients and then the next day I swap out for something else.. but everyone is different and a lot of people actually tolerate actives in their am and pm routine 🌞 Hope this helps 🌈😘
Nice watch
I use Ikea SKUBB organizers in my draws for clothes, in the bathroom and in the kitchen... They are great
"annnnndd I don't want to hear it" Laughed so much! Loved it x
I love your honesty, and I am sorry people are so critical! Thanks for the video. :-)
Hi Maddie, thanks for sharing the other side of the camera in full honesty. I fully understand that you cannot say No to companies you love - why should you? - and I also see and acknowledge that you're passing on things (and also skin care) you sorted out in a sustainable way. It's just important to decide at some point of you are using it or passing it on before the products are around for years, turning bad and then are useless for everybody and have to go to landfill. Don't ask me why I know 🙈 Regards Stephanie
Also as well as remembering family and friends when passing items along also consider places like homeless and domestic violence services, nursing homes and disability facilities, places that loan out clothing for interviews..
The watch is lovely.
Love your videos! You can always donate some of the skin care etc to a shelter if you have some you don't want. Can't believe all you've done to your house already. Just beautiful.🐱
Ooooh I recently discovered typology and love their retinol. Their concealer is super too!
to be really green, use small/med boxes cut down to hight for drawer organization. i use them to sort, .....
Someday is going to come when everything will be decluttered from your house until nothing remains. 😂😂
I totally understand you like getting some skin care parcels for brand you love. I would also really really love it, haha 😆😊🥰. I think in this case the important thing is, as long as products aren’t getting waisted and you or you’re family and friend love and use it, there is notting wrong with that! Everyone uses skincare and I wish I had a basket like that. Would make me so happy, so totally understand! ❤️
With regard to breakouts seemingly coming out of nowhere at this time of the year, you may want to consider hay fever as a factor. I only developed hay fever in my late 20s and most of the time my main symptoms are irritated, inflamed skin (in my case: breakouts and redness) and headaches. Same for my dad (eczema and headaches, first time in his mid 30s). I only mention it because I know that this side of allergy is often overlooked or not well known bc people only associate it with runny nose or itching eyes.
Hi lovely. I collected loads of stuff for charity and the collection date ended before I had managed to take it. I was left with sooo much skincare and so many toiletries in the loft and it took me ages to sort. In the end a local food bank took most of It (they made gift parcels for people). Don't know if you have anything like this locally or a Superdrug drop point. Just a thought and in no way a criticism xx
The watch is beautiful 😍 I don't think you have that much stuff, considering it's your job. I think my bathroom cupboards are way worse! Partly as I can't bring myself to throw things away that only have a tiny bit left. I need to get over it though and have a declutter myself.
I had break out too, since I had coved. Maybe the body way of getting rid of the virus. I had covid in jan 2020 my daughter had it twice now .
Ok I love the watch OMG
it is so fun to see all your stuff, i have 0 skin care products, i have one bar of soap and one shampoo and conditioner. that is it. nothing more. ( i do make my soap, working on making shampoo bars)
I would take all the things 100 %. Get it girl !
Haters are always gonna hate maddie regardless of what you do or don't do....you'll never win with everybody...try and ignore them and keeping shine bright little one 💖💫
For skin treatments like retinol and acids, use one at a time and see how your skin is doing! The main thing is that all of these active ingredient products have the possibility of irritation, and the more u use, the higher the strengths and the frequency of use, the higher the chance of irritation- which can ironically cause breakouts and put Ur skin in a much worse condition than when u started!
Really nice video👍
I personally find that anything with vitamin C breaks my skin out! Love your declutter videos ❤
Thanks for sharing! I wanted to make a suggestion: you kept saying you had decluttered and it was messy again. Have you tried KonMari folding? It takes a little more time on the front end, but since I started using it a couple years ago my drawers never get messy and crazy. Thanks again for sharing! I'll be back because non-US accents are so nice to listen to!
I really like Paula's Choice clinical 1% retinol treatment :) it's fragrence free and really great!
Where did you get your Baskets from that you use in your bathroom
Madeleine, you are absolutely stunning. I hope you know this. I know you’ve mentioned how your body has changed as you’ve gotten older (all of ours has). But you are absolutely gorgeous. Please never think you are anything less than fucking BEAUTIFUL!!!! 😘
If you get swag and it's more than you can use, donate it immediately, unopened. That way it doesn't expire before someone can use it. Food banks will often accept toiletries for their clients.
The last time I had surprise breakouts in an unusual place (for me) it was my shampoo. Another consideration is if you have changed laundry detergent. Good luck finding the culprit😊
You really are so stunning. Alex is a lucky chap!
Just organized my rags while watching this. I don't know what to do with all the extras! :(
Another great vlog. I wish you could come round and declutter my gf wardrobe 😂
The Ordinary - retinol is good and the company is ethical
Would you be able to raffle some of those unused products to your lucky viewers ?
watching this to motivate myself to declutter rn
Think you’ve set up a rough day with many tasks…
That would overwhelm me & I’d freeze. Smaller goals sequencing by area is meow doable for me.
Good luck!😘
lové💗
Oooo where is that orange stripy shirt from please? 😍
All the toiletries etc, it’s part and parcel of your work. I’d be overwhelmed if I received it too. What else can you do except share the bounty, if I was your friend I’d be delighted to be a secondary benefactor xxx
Yes you have a lot (it's your job and it's understandable) but compared to me everyone has a lot of skincare products :D I only use 2: avocado oil in the morning and aragan oil for the night and it has been amazing since I started using few skincare many years ago, my skin cleared out and even wrinkles have stopped (I'm almost 50). One thing one french influencer used to do and I find it really wonderful is that 2 or 3 times in the year she would give everything to a women's organisation or charity (don't know the name in english) then they give the products away to women who have really difficult lives on the streets or because they are ill, or to single mothers who can't afford to buy skincare. I really like that and I was always hoping she could have the biggest amount of products everytime from companies to give to those who want them and can't pay them. So maybe it could be an idea.
I guess we all have seen how many products a brand releases in a year and even if you are just working with a handful of the companies, it is a lot for one person to handle. Many influencers are overwhelmed and try to say no to brands and their pr, but they send them their stuff anyway. It's insane that one person recieves all 30+ shades of a new foundation, but it seems like this is how the system/industry/work flow works. So I get it and I would assume that you say no to a lot of brands that don't fit your criteria. Otherwise it would be much more. Thanks for your honest words about this topic. Sometimes, even if we all know, the audience needs to hear things like that.
hi! could you tell me where your sweatshirt is from? it would be the perfect gift for my sister :)
I didn’t know you could get reusable pads!? We’re do you get yours from? I would love to see a video about your period recommendations (that sounds weird, but I hope you know what I mean 😅) as those patches look really cool.. plus we need more open talk about periods 💪🏻✨
The black dress you wore is gorgeous, where did you find it ? I'm looking for nice dresses to wear this summer, I've been decluttering and I'm always miserable trying to wear anything in summer.
Linen fox :)
I'm enjoying all of your videos (specially the house ones, I'm in love with your house), I just miss some nice lil subtitles sometimes 🥺
Another fantastic decluttering video Madeleine. Alex needs to donate to a charity shop or sell what he doesn't wear because someone else could wear it. It's annoying when products have excessive packing. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕❤️ Madeleine & Alex.
What happened to your Votch watch?
Thanks for sharing! I wonder if you could donate any unused items to a Ukraine hygiene supply appeal or something similar? x
I would to have that much skincare especially as it didn’t cost you anything.❤️
If you’re enjoying skin care you’d enjoy getting a copy of Caroline Hirons book to answer those few questions you were having. You mentioned one product was vitamin A… I think that’s essentially retinol
I would recommend Avene' Retrinal . It is wonderful for sensitive skin!
I second that :)
Now you have a “smart” watch and a “smarter” watch 🤪🤪
Nice sharing
❤❤❤
Amazing, and to think you don’t really need any of that skin care stuff. All I’ve got is a bottle of jojoba oil and a bottle of witch hazel. 🤗
One way to mindful is to avoid products that contain palm oil.
I'm going to need to know more about this "cuddly toy" you sleep with . lol IS that code for Alex?
I would love to know how you handle brands’ expectations around the product they send you. As a smaller influencer myself I know it’s not really “free stuff.” Sometimes they want a lot of work in exchange for something very small.
Never give your services away for free! Unless monetarily it adds up to a significant amount of money that would match your fees, only accept gifting on a no obligation basis. A lot of brands unfortunately take advantage of smaller influencers. Been there and done that! You have to weigh up how much you actually want what they’re sending you. Realistically if it’s a face wash that costs £15 that is not worth hours of your time.
@@MadeleineOlivia Thank you! I very much appreciate your response. I will try to stick to your advice! Unfortunately the situation hasn’t gotten better over the years with more and more new influencers all the time.
Alex doesn’t seem very enthusiastic about stripping his wardrobe 😂
You could donate it all to a women's refuge or homeless charity ❤️
Hi olivia just a thought if you have any thing un opened maybe could donate to womens refuge or some thing like that .lovely video im decluttering too.you both got alot done .them creams sound amazeing i realy like the sound of the facial cleanseing oads x
