Ooof, this got me right in the sewing machine.
😂
Girl I got two and can’t use either one!! My grandmama was a Home Economics teacher so I really wanted to learn. It’s even baby blue from Sears but right now it’s just in a closet collecting dust.’!! 😂
For me its a sewing machine and serger....NOPE I MAY need those someday. 😂
Damn, she peeped in my house 😂 that sewing machine and pillows is me 😢
Haha, funny.
I was like nope no random print or pillows 😎THEN you said the sewing machine 👀 nooooooo 😫
😂 I actually use mine
Me too!!
Noooooooo! I MAY need my sewing machine and serger (that is about 8 years old still brand new in box!), I will hang onto those.
@@amatullah1510 I used to use my sewing machine constantly making teddy bears a out 15 years ago. I refuse to get rid of it even though I haven't touched it for a good 3 years or so.
Same here!!!😂
My sewing space is the problematic space 🤦🏻♀️
The “impersonal” is the key word for me ❤
Yes!!!
The dusting is enough to make me get rid of everything fast. If I have to keep moving crap and dusting it, it's going lol
Yup!! LOL
Not my sewing machine! I swear I will learn to use it! Soonly...
@@thatswhatisaid8908 how 🤔 many years has it been now?
@brianwoo8877 I'm not sure...maybe 13 or 14?
@thatswhatisaid8908 We had guitars 🎸 for years, because one of the siblings may learn how to play. None ever did. Wasn't 13-14 years, but atleast 10 years.
@brianwoo8877 well, you never know, right? Also, it's crossed my mind to get rid of my old sewing machine, and my old food processor, because IF I ever want one, I could go buy a nice shiny new one. But they do not make things like they used to. Things were once built to last. But not anymore.
😂🤣
Was just about ti get rid of my sewing machine. But just last night I accidentally tore a hole in my pants so now I gotta use it. 😂
Glad you had it then! :D
Nobody talking about HOW gorgeous she looks?
Thank you
I feel called out 😂😂😂 great advice!
Dusting....what is this thing you speak of?? 😂
LOL Right! I live in AZ so dusting is a MUST! LOL
@@charlottesmom dust is an interesting thing 🤔.
Mine is my children's toys/clothes and pillows galore. I wish I had an attic & basement. Living in a small apartment forces me to become a minimalist.
Figure out what your most important items are, and make space for them. :D Minimize the other things.
My sewing machine gets used, weekly. It goes, NOWHERE. Better suggestion: mindful purchases. Questions to ask, before buying something: do I need this? Can I use something else, I already own? Wait a week, do you still need it? Probably not.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I' m keeping the sewing machine, too.
You’re absolutely bea-UTIFUL !!! And Ty for this I can imagine how much crap I’ll be able to get rid of right off the bat!
Wohoo!!! 🤗
@HeyItsKayJayBae We are in our 60s and have just started this journey. I'm excited 😊 and scared 😱 sometimes. Mostly it is a combination of... giving to adult children, trash 🗑 or donate.
I have I guess you would call "sentimental items" that I just want to get rid of. I mean the wine bar/bakers rack is beautiful but it needs to go. Even though it was a memento from my wedding. How I look at it is of my house burned down tomorrow. What items would I save. Those items would be pictures and other irreplaceable things.
How has your decluttering process going? Right now I am uploading a big group of videos (over the next week) for a full house downsize and decluttering. Then I will upload my series on Sentimental items. Let me know what areas you need support on the most right now. :D
I have 6 kids. I have never bought prints or throw pillows. My problem is books (lovem and hatem) and piles of papers and crafts and school work. I'm making progress. It's really hard.
Keep going!! :D
In this stage now! I'm beginning to understand mindful purchases, but I still have the unmindful ones cluttering my house and I don't know what to do 🤣
I’m like girl come to my house and show me how to do it! It really is easier said than done when it comes to my bedroom but I have got to take the time, get brave and get a soundtrack to tackle my bedroom. Thank you for this short!!!
Here, here !! Agreed 👍 I have frozen french bread sticks that didn't fit so they're in the frig. Tic Tacs were FORTY CENTS each for the Big container !! THEN they rang up 25¢
The list continues And I'm still working on 3 months behind on my home payment... No emotions attached to that information, just awareness 🙃
Check out my playlists and podcasts. They walk you thorough how to do this. Let me know what your number one issue is and I'll make a video for that area. :D
You are very welcome. I just started uploading my Full House Declutter and Downsizing series. Hope this helps. :D
Do you have tips for cleaning when things get unmanageable? I have 3 autoimmune diseases and when I have flares it can last a few days or weeks and when I come out of the flare my apartment looks trashed. I try to go through and put away dirty dishes and garbage but I’m still left with a lot of clutter and medication and things I don’t need to have out daily but will forget it exists if I put it away. It’s overwhelming and idk where to start
Use a timer. 10 Min bursts of cleaning, tidying, or decluttering are your friend. You may be surprised how much you can get done in just 10 min! 🤗🙌🏻🔥
I admit I have a lot of clutter but I get rid of black garbage bags of stuff to donate. I feel like it's not enough theses garbage bags are full too. I am trying so hard to declutter but I feel like I still have a long way to go. Any tips to make it go faster and seem like there is a dent 😂
Donate the bags you have collected already. Then make a donate box or bag to keep in a central part of your home. Everyday, put at least one or more things in it. A goal is to full the box each week. Wohoo!! Slow and steady.
Me with the old blanket in my closet that i loved but switched out bc its torn 😓 you got me I'll do it
@@alexisnicole8118 wohoo! 🙌🏻
How about the 900 books I've collected while home schooling my kids?
You could donate them to a homeschooling collective that way more people will benefit from your collection.
The thing that's working for me is that I got a storage unit and stuffed all of my non-essential stuff in there and I'm only going to pull out the things that really sparked joy... All the rest I am donating, trashing, or selling. Mainly donating because I'm too lazy to sale. I'm keeping the storage unit only for 2 months to give me enough time to live without it and if it's not missing for my life then I know the answer.
OMG!! I just love this!! You are so smart just donating things. People rarely get their money back with resale of regular items. Wohoo!! I'm so excited for you!!
@@FloraSage❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I CANT THOOOOOOO WHAT ABOUT MY ARTWORK THAT NEEDS TO BE HUNG UP CUZ I WORKED SO HARD BUT LOOKS HIDEOUS AND I WANT TO GET RID OF BUT CANT😭. Am I becoming a hoarder? Help
Try donating one piece and see how that feels. :D
Yup.... that's truth!
We're supposed to dust every week? No wonder i cant breathe at nigt
Also, try vacuuming and / or sweeping several times a week. That really helps if you have allergies.
decluttering my room is something I've been avoiding for weeks so I guess youtube is worried about me
I am uploading new videos / shorts, that walks you through a whole house declutter. The bedroom is the first room we cover!! Check them out and let me know how it helps.
😂 thank you for reminding me of the pillows I will throw them out now
Thank u for this
You are very welcome. :D
Yep I have 4 different sewing machines and an embroidery machine. I don't use. 😏❤
W o W _-_
thank you 😭
You're welcome
Good advice ....you HAVE to have NO mercy on all this stuff
Agreed!
@FloraSage Another good thing is to go through each cabinet and search for expiration dates and such and ask yourself, are you going to use this stuff ?
Exactly!! @@frankesposito2182
All I can see is how beautiful your eyebrows are :-). How??!!
Honestly, no clue! LOL. I over plucked so much in the 90's
Beautiful eyes
Thanks
You're very welcome. This clip came back into my feed, and I can say it again, beautiful eyes.
By the way, thanks for the info in this clip. I'm decluttering right now. I have so much random non essentials as you mentioned.
Thanks again. You're a star 🎉😊
😂 I can't figure out what a random chachkey(sp) is?! Lol Do I have them all over my house, I don't know?!😮
trinkets and knick knacks... things you have to dust (besides the tops of furniture)
You lost me at dusting.
LOL - I live in AZ... Dusting is a must here.
Your eyes... sorry I'm here to declutter!!
Thank you
Oh no... not the sewing machine! Anything else but that!
A client of mine had three in her closet... they didn't even work. LOL
I dont think ive dusted in the 5 years ive lived in this house
My allergies would eat me up! LOL. I live in AZ so Dust is an everyday thing in the desert.
Or the random mail that never Ends📩📩📩📩
Mail is my biggest problem I need to Invest in a paper shredder
Yes, there is a website you can go to that will allow you to opt out of Credit Card and other mail like that. Do a quick search and you'll find it.
Yes!! My paper shredder is my friend. I have a paper decluttering series. Check out my playlists.

Does anyone have tips for decluttering books? I have WAY too many and I don’t ever have the time for reading and I don’t wanna keep spending money on books when I don’t have the time or money for them. But I’m like addicted and I have so many they pile up all over the floor in corners I need help

Please let me know if this helps.
@@FloraSage Thank you so much, that sounds pretty simple, I’ll have to try that! 😀
@@hardearnedliving5907 wohoo!! You’re welcome 🤗🙌🏻
Books?
Books can be time consuming and many can be sentimental. I do not recommend beginning with books.
With that said, if your home is over run with books, then yes. 🤗
Remove? Meaning? Remove? Put in another room? Sell? Give away? Trash? What do you mean? You are calling them "non essentials"
The things you don't use - remove from your space. (remove meaning - sell, donate, toss, recycle. It depends on what you want to do with it) Some rent a dumpster and toss it all. Others have a yard sale. While others just donate all that they don't use.
It's not that easy for neurodivergent people because they attach emotional ties to everything even if somebody did not give it to them
I am also Neurodivergent, but not sentimental for most things. Being sentimental about things is something that ranges from person to person.
Omg who has time to dust every week 😂
When you live in Arizona and it's dusty everywhere... I make time. LOL
One of the reasons I have very little Tchotchkes. (or knick knacks)
What's Cha chi
Tchotchke or knickknack. Basically random souvenirs or things that are displayed that you have to dust. These could be a collection of things all the way down to just random stuff that you’ve acquired over the years.
@@FloraSage ty good morning from Texas
@@AimmerSu good morning ☀️
Lol dust every week
@@chosen1854 when you live in Phoenix a.k.a. the desert where it’s very dusty you need to dust every week. 🤣😂🙌🏻
We will be moving from Nebraska to Arizona in a couple of years. I best invest in feather dusters. Lol
@@chosen1854 Wohoo!! You will love it here!! And Yes, LOL :D
