I have been following your channel for awhile now and I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I appreciate how real it is and every point you made was something I totally needed to hear right now. Thanks for the inspiration! Spring cleaning, here I come!
Girl you are PREACHING in this video!! Gonna go declutter my entire house now 💃🏻💃🏻
Thank you Kendra. Gives me that extra push to declutter and truly enjoy the items I use!
I loved this video, and I love watching voice-overs of people cleaning and decluttering. Please do those!
Loved this! Yes more organizing/decluttering videos please!
Thank you, Kendra. Your videos are so much fun to watch.
This was such a great video. It’s so freeing to get down to your basics and be honest with yourself about what you truly use and what is just there. I’m an army wife so we move often. I hated finding boxes that we hadn’t opened in 2 years, I mean clearly we didn’t need the things inside if we didn’t open it!!! I finally made a huge purge and this past month we received our stuff and it was so easy to unpack since we didn’t have a million boxes!!! It’s also easier to clean the house and keep it clean!!!
Awesome video Kendra! yes please more videos on decluttering and organising 💗
Loved the video! I am just like you and LOVE to organize and get rid of stuff. It makes me really happy. Having tons of things and crap just weighs you down. You’re right, you always feel so much better getting rid of things. Such a weight off your shoulder
I love this video! Looking forward to the next one. This is just a good reminder for me and reinforce things I’m already trying to do.
I loved this! It makes me want to go through my closet now... More please!
Thanks Kendra! Would love to see more videos like this.
Love this video Kendra!! Can’t wait for part two!! 😊❤️😊❤️
This video totally motivated me to get rid of all the clutter I hate and stresses me out every single day! I have so much to get rid of, but sometimes just been so hard for me to let go. I’m gonna do it! I’ve already watched ur staying organized video. I’ve bought so much to stay organized so I need to de clutter now
Loved it so much!!!! Can't wait for the next one
I honestly loved this video! Thank you Kendra!
This video got me off my ass and decluttering areas I've been avoiding during all my spring cleaning! Something you said that helped me in my process was that if someone has served its purpose it's okay to get rid of it. I went thru my laundry room, junk drawers and my hubby's closet. I still have my stepsons room and the hallways closet but I'm feeling better about my environment!
Love this video! You make me want to go through my whole house!
Love this and excited for the next video!
I LOVED this video. I have been absolutely needing to de clutter my makeup and clothes lately and keep putting it off. But I will be doing it ASAP after watching this!
I love all your tips. I totally agree about the lipglosses. I’m going to declutter mines today. Thanks
I really love this video. I have been trying to declutter because it’s just “stuff “. Thank you for all your tips!!
This is just the motivation I needed. The toy accumulation is overwhelming 🙀 Thank you!
I noticed that having so many items overwhelms me! It’s been a relief to get rid of items. It’s crazy how the mainstream beauty industry makes us feel like we need new everything.
Love these tips
Awesome video Kendra! This made me want to get rid of all my stuff lol! I think I am going to go do some decluttering right now! Do more videos like this please!
Thank you for this ❤ we moved from an apartment into a 25ft motorhome recently and it is SO much harder than i thought to downsize. Very helpful!!
glad you liked it!
Good point on a lot of this! Motivation for Sure!
Except books.. lol I'm a re-reader.
Ahh love this so much 🙌🏻💛
This is one of the most unique USEFUL videos I’ve seen on CZcams, great job Kendra! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Maria Smythe wow thanks!
I relate so much to this video!! Thank you! I have got rid of alot of stuff in the past few months and it feels so good! :)
Loved this video! So helpful!! Thank you :)
LMAO I didn't realized my husband was listening and the entire time, he was " Uh-huh. Yup...she's right. You need to start getting rid of those stuff you don't need" 🤣🤣🤣 My husband is a secret fan 😉😂
Kate Sanchez lol!
hahaha that is hilarious!
Love this!
😂😂
Yes, more videos like this! But I still love vlogs with those babies!! :-)
Love her podcast. Watch her snaps as well
Wow, this was reálny amazing video, you are very wise girl Kendra! Have you ever thought about being bit more minimalistic with buying a new stuff? Please more videos like this ;))
Love videos like this but would like clips of the things you decluttered when you decluttered them added in.
Kendra, could you share which style Levi’s shorts you like? I feel that same way about all my short shorts!!!
Check with your local PK programs to donate your used toys!! Coming from a teacher, we don’t mind them used!!!!
Good stuff girlfriend! I definitely feel motivated to go through my stuff again! Thanks girl. :-)
thanks for watching!
Kendra Atkins no problem! I love watching your videos all the time!
They’re not saying “where’s that coffee cup that I gave you two years ago...”
yeah, you don’t know my mother in law 🙄
hahaha!
You just inspired me so much, Kendra!
This video deserve a million likes. Organizing and ducluttering makes me feel so good. Love your tips and I'm going right now get rid of some stuff I do not really need.
Thank you! Amazing message!
Love this! I've just started spring cleaning and this has given me some motivation to get rid of that extra "stuff" !
great!
I love seeing more videos like this because it's so true. Things are just things but loved one and experiences are to forever cherish. ♡
Loved this video! Superrrr helpful tips. Thank you so much, Kendra!👍💗
rotating toys works well too. put some away then take them back out and put the others away. The toys are like new again.
Anne Vasquez we started doing this in our house and just made the boundary of only two totes to rotate since we have three boys between 2 and 11.. it’s worked really well for passing toys down and not having to really buy any new ones for my 2 yo. Also we only bring toys back in that they ask for or we will test it out and if it’s not played with we donate it.
Yes that is something I've tried as well!
Kendra Atkins for me, I don't care too much about toys. It's it's when my littles get in my papers or a bottle of soap or the refrigerator that is upsetting to me.
Love this video! It’s so useful! I even took notes for the next time I’m decluttering haha. I’m looking forward to the next video of how to maintain organization.
Yes please do more videos like this you've inspired me to de clutter my makeup
Excellent advice!! Even tho Im an avid declutterer I still enjoy the “pep talk” with good reminders. Im off now to get rid of some old beauty products I don’t even use!
Awesome video and just at the right time for me. I'm feeling a desperate need to declutter! Going to apply these principles over the next few months and really sort out my home😊 thanks Kendra xx
We all love our “stuff!”. It accumulates and takes over our house and our life.
Great video!
I promised myself I would spend the Summer decluttering.
We live in Florida and it gets so hot.
I find myself saving almost everything baby related because we want one more. I know you want more kids too. Are you saving stuff (at least one “set” haha) for the next kiddo or are you planning on starting from scratch? If I have a girl next, I’m gonna have a TON of adorable stuff to sell/donate. 😂
I loved hearing you speak on content like this! I was decluttering my makeup while I watched this and it helped me with all the good reminders. Good stuff mama! xo
This was so helpful! I find decor in a storage room in my basement and I'm like WHY do I even have this?! lol. PS you look amazing! 🌸💕
thanks!
Preach it girl 👏
My husband is slowly getting there with letting go, he falls into the “it’s still useful why should it go” category. Ironically when we lived in tiny 600sq ft apartments, we had soooo much junk. Now we have a much larger home and I can’t stand seeing an ounce of clutter. I am addicted to the wide open spaces.
Great video!!!!!
I loved this!! I think we're on the same path to living a better life with less, it was nice to hear it from someone else. I used to be the queen of having the most stuff - the most clothes, the most shoes and bags and make up and you name it. And I felt terrible. All of that stuff weighed me down, it took up so much headspace trying to keep the clutter under control. In the past few years, and more in the past year, I've really tried to let things go. Things that no longer bring me joy or don't serve a purpose in my life leave my home whether I sell or donate. I've been investing in good quality pieces that will last for years with proper care. It's funny what happens when you do this - buy one item you really, really like and you no longer give energy to finding the next best thing. I'd love to see how you keep your office organized, that's one area I still struggle with.
Yes everything you said is spot on!
Loved this video, I’m gunna go throw out some stuff I don’t love 👍🏻 xx yes please do more! So inspiring xxx
yay!
I have two coat closets on my main level, 1 by front door and the other by garage. I hate opening them because of the clutter inside, this video couldn’t have come at a better time.. you’re making me feel responsible to finally tackle it. Kendra, you are awesome 👌🏼
wahoo you got this!
Very wise K! I've learned over time I'm about experiences like say a trip, outing. I'm not about stuff, at all. X
This spoke to my soul 😂😂 you’ve convinced me to get rid of some junk Kendra thank you 😊
I love this video!! I am the same way. I am not one for having tons of stuff.
More videos like this!!!
A few weeks ago I was cleaning up my sons's closet and I asked him if I could give away his small clothes and the answer made me laugh. "He goes nope I am saving them for my kids lol.
that's hilarious!
Very helpful! Love from Macedonia♡
love from california!
Love it
Cracking up at 7:30 when you are talking about your velvet mini dress! LOL “where do I think I’m going?” 😂🤷🏼♀️
Holly Williams haha!!
I’m a big fan of decluttering. I do every couple of months. It is the best feeling. I have zero problem giving away things, and of course donating. It feels good to cleanse, ya know. My husband and I make a whole fun day out of it. You wanna laugh? I paused this video and went and did some decluttering in my closet and storage closet. Granted I did it not long ago, I felt the need to do it again 🤣🤣🤣
That's so good to hear! Ya I de-clutter like allll the time!
“Where do I think I’m going?” 😂😂
This video has made me go on a decluttering rampage 😂
My clothes and the ‘what ifs’ are the absolute hardest!! What if I lose 5 lbs and my pre baby clothes fit again? Also being a new stay at home mom I have tons of office clothes that I don’t wear but are still in great condition and I so I am having the hardest time getting rid of them! Thanks for the motivation!
start a poshmark account and make some money off them!
Kendra Atkins thanks!! I have one but need to add these items!
With babies its hard but I’m decluttering and my #1 thing is do I love it or use it regularly. I love to declutter and organize so it’s pretty easy for me. With my baby I do keep clothes for future babies but I limit it and same with toys bc it’s not that expensive to replace down the road and it takes money and time to store it.
yes so true, all of that!
This is the best video ever! I already am passionate about living with what I LOVE and need. But you did such a great job explaining how to do that. Thanks for sharing amazing content! You are the best.
Yay so glad you enjoyed!
Home decor is my weakness and it’s hard to get rid of stuff from last season. I have tackled my wardrobe and makeup but home decor is something I have to work on. My make up drawer is one top drawer and my rule is if if fits (not stuffed) it stays and something always goes out if something new comes in.
that's a great rule to go by!
Do you have any favorite donation organizations? I often donate to goodwill but I don't really know of others.
Hahaha, it's hilarious 😂 I just cleaned my husband's closet and boy it was a mess. Ever since I became pregnant with twins I have been sick a lot so I haven't been very productive plus my husband would not let me do much... he wasn't home today so I did some cleanup!!!
What style of levi shorts do you like?? I've been trying to get new levi's
They are sold at nordstrom, but i get them off the levi's site because they usually have sales
I'm also curious which style of shorts they are?
There is a word in dutch 'keuzestress' which translates to 'choice stress', and that's what happens when you have to many options that you feel stress making a choice. Like that little bit of stress what you have choosing a lip gloss.
Michelle Bennett yes completely!
Hi Kendra! This was a really good video. We're moving and some of these tips I need to follow to avoid taking crap to our new house! I have a question regarding baby thing things... how do you decide what to keep for a future kid? I have twins too & I have a super hard time getting rid of things. We acquired all this stuff so fast- swings, rock n plays, etc. and before I knew it they were grown out of the item. It went so fast that I feel super sad when I think of getting rid of these things. Logically I know I should at least get rid of one because I'm sure I won't need two swings ever again in the future. I don't know how to let go!
I actually got rid of most. I figured in a few years I'll probably want something else in a different color maybe. Especially if we have a boy because all our stuff is pink. I saved one infant car seat and I'm saving some of their clothes that I really liked, but not really doubles of anything.
I sell most of it!
Oh and an add on question- have you ever gotten rid of something your girls have never even used? Like for Easter they each got 3 stuffed animals- so 6 new stuffies to add to our huge pile of stuffed animals we already have! They don't even like stuffed animals yet! Idk what to do with them.
Good question I also ask myself is would I buy this again?
great question!
"They are not gonna ask where that coffee cup is that i gave you 2 years ago" - you have not met my grandma :D
so funny I keep hearing people say that!! haha
Ha ha yes! Both my mom AND my grandma :)
OMG I’m going to show this to my boyfriend. He’s just like andrew and wants to hang on to everything but I’m the purge queen! We’re moving soon and I asked him to purge and you would have thought I asked him to kill a puppy 😒
Did anyone else think of Gilmore Girls the Revival when she said the "Does it bring you joy" rule? 😂
Going to declutter...NOW! Ha
Rachel B good luck!!
Why did you consume so much to then just throw it out? I think this is really a third world problem and you should not buy all those things, if you end up not using them. Other people would be happy if they had a few lipglosses to choose from or ONE nice make-up bag, but you act like everyone has a dozend and doesn't use them? That makes no sense to me. But in general it is a good inspiration for spring to declutter, thanks!
In my case, a lot is sent as PR from companies. So I'm not buying a lot of it. That's why I do giveaways for all the products that I don't need for others to use. Ya I totally get that not everyone has 12 lipglosses, but that's just part of my job. The other great thing about de-cluttering is seeing the things that maybe you wasted money on. This way you can be smarter the next time around and only spend money on things that you really need! Hope that helps!
