      Seriously, be mad at that because even with expiration dates, most of those products are made with unhealthy chemicals. Look for simple, pure, beauty applications for natural ingredients. Like Rosehip Oil is awesome. And then there's lots of natural recipes on Pinterest. And I had a friend whose grandma even taught her how to make her own Almond Oil. Is was like a right of passage in their culture. What all of the real beauty of beauty are we missing out on because we are expensive cosmetic aisle consumers?

    Okay,hear me out. I was crestfallen when she said in a previous video about making a guest room out of the doom room.😢 Realistically,she needs a storage room because she has ALOT of items that aren’t used on a daily basis. My suggestion: get two of those sturdy,metal restaurant shelves and put them against the wall that has the bump out at the bottom.(This will allow for necessary airflow) Designate one for all of the camping gear and the other for the Xmas box,art supplies,cat carrier,etc. Keep all of the fans and vacuum where you put them,another fact of life. I would LOVE to see two of those big white cabinets (if two would fit) replace all of the small,open storage in her kitchen! Talk about calming the chaos,one could be for her food,the other for pet food,leashes and a bag of shopping bags.(Maybe even backup toiletries if needed.) She would then have room to use the various kitchen furniture in her bedroom and living room if so desired. Lastly,this would make room to put the clothing racks on that side of the storage room so that she has ONE ,HUGE WALK-IN storage closet but her bedroom,living room and kitchen will be calm,organized and pleasant LIVING SPACES!🙌🏻

      The issue with having a room for storage is that it just gives you a reason to keep buying and keep hoarding. "Oh I can just put it in the spare room." It's a massive container that they think won't ever fill up, perpetuating the mental problem of "I've got space/I can make space" endlessly.
      I've dealt with this from my last two SOs. They see the extra room as storage and keep buying things we don't need or use OR refuse to get rid of items that have been in boxes for the last 20 years because "we've got the space". I'm trying to use the room for our kid, and he's shoving boxes of kitchenware into the closet! We don't have the space, and maybe I want to put clothing in the closets, not boxes of 1980s figurines 😂 When we moved in, he was so excited "look at this big extra room!" Honey. It's 9'x9' (3mx3m). It's not that big 😅 "we can fit the bed, crib, recliner, and shelves in there!" No... no... not even close!

      @@valeriaswanne I absolutely get what you’re saying and am sorry for your experiences. I may be wrong about the future of this idea but since she truly doesn’t have any other storage,I think it would be sufficiently full ALREADY with her CURRENT necessities,like the camping gear, pet cage,cleaning supplies,fans,etc. along with the clothing racks from the bedroom. Especially if she views it as “the storage/closet” and not “the spare room”. In fact, I actually think that a more empty space like a guest room would lead to MORE room for random stuff.

  • @darleneh608
    @darleneh608 Před 3 měsíci +50

    Food for thought: the reason the doom room got so out of hand is that the stuff that was legitimately supposed to be stored there (camping gear, seasonal decor, etc) was just dropped there in piles rather than being stored in an organized way.
    If you put the storage stuff on shelves, and smaller stuff in tubs that are clearly labeled, you can sort each category into its own zone and make it easier to get at. Plus, on a shelf you're using some of the height in the room, so that will help maintain access and open space in the rest of the room.
    When your intentional storage items are stored less haphazardly, it makes it harder to add to the problem by just dumping a few more things on top of the same pile.

    Dani is so strong and mature as a person. My partner is adhd like her. He is overwhelmed with mess/clutter but also cant help creating it. He loves to be kind and give things to someone who needs it but cant really organise that practically. I am inspired by April's approach with Dani because she stops her from feeling bad. She doesnt treat Dani like she is different or defective for forgetting where stuff was kept or poorly organising the home. Dani is kind and creative and she must be a great teacher. My partner also likes to teach... I want to praise his skills and creativity more, and will not criticise his messiness after seeing this series of videos. I have been inspired to change my attitude and not to shame or belittle even if I am frustrated by mess. I will no longer say things critically.
    Thanks Dani for telling us you are Adhd in the first episode because this is a very positive awareness-raising and educating poing for viewers like me ❤

      I fully empathize and maybe my recent breakthrough will help in some way...
      My ADHD clutterbug partner is so stressed by any amount of pressure to declutter, so after too many fights, we finally decided to move to a slightly bigger apartment (850 sq.ft. 2BR) where he could have an office space to himself with his own clothing closet - to serve as a dedicated "container" for everything he's working through letting go of.
      Now the pressure is off, I only help when asked. We were able to use the moving truck to empty his storage unit as well, so overall rent is similar.
      Was it frustrating to pack up all that junk for the move? Yes. But is the entire rest of the house now clear and calm? YES. And with that, he is understanding what a fully functional space can bring to both our chaotic lives.
      Wishing you both harmony in this process ❤

I know you have good intensions! Me too. I want to cook with those things but for some reason, I don’t. You want those lovely clothes and make-up…
    Recently my son came for a visit, I’m older and he helped me declutter my pantry. I couldn’t believe how much stuff we got rid of. Boxes, boxes, boxes and more boxes and bags of food, ingredients cooking tools, etc, empty jars, boxes, boxes, saved shopping bags in piles and piles put in the trash. And what is nice and surprising is that I don’t miss those items! _I feel good!_

    Wow she is very unusual to declutter so well. Good dream client to video because we all are watching and wanting to see her let go and declutter and have a big transformation. It's the clients that won't let go that it's actually very anxiety and frustrating to watch this is going to be one of your best video series.

    I decluttered two bags of clothes while switching to my summer clothes. I donated to my former daughter in law who is a teacher to high risk kids. They have a store at school they can shop in with pounts for good behavior.

  • @smz5302
    @smz5302 Před 3 měsíci +8

    Dani - You're still young. I have friends who have been buying and buying into their 70's with no decluttering along the way. You are so very fortunate to figure this out now! Here's to a new future...and more $$ in your bank account...or toward vacations...whatever you love. Congratulations!
    PS: Everything I buy now, I think things like, "Do I have space for this?" And always, always...one in, one out. I just got a beautiful, new jacket. My oldest jacket went into the donation box. New slippers? The old ones went into the trash, as they were beyond donating.

Thank you Dani for sharing your journey!!! You are helping so many people in the exact same position, I promise!

    I have to admit I’m just guilty with beauty products. I subscribed to years ago to Boxycharm and Ipsy and I have literally boxes and clear containers full of products. I plan on this summer to go through my two closets and get rid of so much. So much waste but I did at least cancel my subscriptions a year ago. It’s just embarrassing and frustrating that I allowed myself to do this. I also have a purse and wallet hoarding problem. I just don’t understand why I do this.

  • @KACn5582

    I certainly understand the whole process of accumulating "stuff" I just decluttered about 50 pairs of pants. Plus size also. Each one was a journey to find the 'perfect pair'. Maybe they fit at one time. Maybe I thought I could slim down and fit them. Before the sorting etc I was actually looking on line for more. I have ... 20 left. I feel ya Dani!!!

    Its okay to grieve the things you bought and didn't use- its easy to get caught in the spiral of being angry or disappointed in yourself about wasting money... but what you're doing now is going to change your life! And it's bought some of your buying and storing behaviours to light, what an encouraging and uplifting way to learn and take control of your space and the things you own ♡♡♡

    This is so eye opening. For most of my life, my mom has shown me to be really sensible with makeup purchasing. Her daily makeup fits inside a ziploc bag. A compact powder, a concealer, and some eyeshadow and eyeliner/brow pencil, and she doesnt wear much on her lips besides lip balm. Still beautiful and strong at age 59. ❤

    I totally relate to Danni. I love these videos and listen/watch them when needing to declutter. I’ve just spent the day getting some of my piles and drawers stuffed full of clothes together to see what I can move on and found 5 pairs of black linen trousers. All different, some to wear more casual or dressed up or cigarette style and wide leg. I now know I definitely don’t need to buy black linen trousers for summer. Good to do this before we start thinking we need to buy summer clothes. Managed to reduce three big piles to smaller piles and fill two charity bags full and bin old underwear. Drawers are more organised and all my tights are now together too 😊. Thanks for inspiring us ❤

  • @tonimika7900
    @tonimika7900 Před 3 měsíci +15

    Do you really need to get rid of expired makeup? Sure, if it smells bad and is a cream product, I can see that, but honestly I would have used many of the things she threw away. I don’t trust corporations that say makeup expires so quickly. I think it is a ploy to get you to throw it out and buy more.

    • @nolasavedmysoul
      @nolasavedmysoul Před 3 měsíci +5

      If it’s kept in a cool dry dark place, powder products can last YEARS after the “expiration”. You can also sanitize it with spraying rubbing alcohol. But you’re right about cream products…those gotta go lol

    • @theladynextdoor313
      @theladynextdoor313 Před 3 měsíci +4

      Agreed!! I just made a comment saying the same thing and then I saw yours. So glad that some people do know this. As a former MUA, as long as the powder products are in a cool dry place and sanitized every so often they will last YEARS!

    • @jenniferpearce1052

      Year's ago I watched a Canadian program where they took their old cosmetics to be tested. Mascara, which "they" always say to discard after 6 months had almost no bacteria in it. If you have an infection, sure it's going to be gross. But unused stuff should be fine. Korea is humid though. The mold that was a problem behind all the stored things could be an issue.

    • @taraa3456

    • @hollydingman7455
      @hollydingman7455 Před 7 dny

      In an earlier episode I believe she said something about not wearing makeup on a regular basis except for mascara - something like that. So it really doesn’t make sense for her to hoard out of date products that she’s not going to use anyway.

    I needed this declutter, it's so wonderful to see others help others out, God gave up hands to help each other up not push others down and this is truly beautiful. I'm a minimalist but it's because I'm afraid of owning too much or having too many belongings, I grew up in foster care homes and some where hoarders and it ramped my OCD up to extremes, now I have only a few of things, like I'm too minimal on clothing but I do laundry 3 times a week and everyone in our house has their favourite sweater at all times. So we keep our favourite things. ✌️ 💛 🇨🇦🕯️💪 So proud of you Dani, it's not easy, proud of you each step at a time. You rocked this declutter wtg ladies. ✌️A clear space feels so good and shows your hard work.

    Don’t throw away powder products that are new in packaging! Many powder formulas are just fine. They only put those dates on there to cover their rears for the one random obscure thing that may never happen. Unless it’s a special formula much of that stuff is fine. The old stuff that gets dicey are when people are constantly using products or dirty brushes and never sanitize them or their products. I’m using UD palettes from 2015 and they perform just as well as they ever did and I am just fine. But I’m OCD about sanitizing. Those dates are part of them making you believe you need to throw away stuff and buy more from them. Cream or liquid products are a different story though because those harbor bacteria after a year or two, those I wouldn’t put on my face.

  • @valerinaDREAMER

    I recently did a declutter pass of beauty products, so I can definitely empathise with the waste of unused/expired products, and cost.
    Also thanks for the calm and kind way you show and explain things. It’s definitely been helpful to know that it’s ok to declutter in multiple passes and calm the chaos as I go. All super helpful when tackling a big area on my own that may take longer than just one day.
