If you need to declutter books and toys, buy a puppy. My daughter bought a dalmatian and now, eight months later, I can honestly admit to decluttering 1,247 books and 2,553 small toys that the dalmatian chewed up. She has been a great help!
I love the idea of unfollowing temptation. I’ve done that in the past, unfollowing makeup channels because I kept buying more makeup (and I rarely wear it as it is). Helped tremendously. Brilliant video. Thanks for the tips!
I find one of the most useful tools I use is making games of decluttering. I’ve played the minimalism game several times.....declutter one thing on the 1st., two things on the 2nd. etc. I find that a great challenge and you declutter a lot in a month. Also timing yourself and see how much you can declutter in a certain amount of time works great. If I feel like if it’s a challenge I’m more likely to succeed and of course then you feel more motivated. Of course videos like yours and other minimalists has really started the ball rolling.😊💖🙏
Such a great video ! I decluttered almost two years ago, I now know what is in every closet and every drawer, I only buy something if I donate something of the same. It’s been life changing . Keep up the good work ☺️
You've got this!! Just declutter things into a "maybe" box so you don't have to commit to getting rid of it if you're not ready...just live with less and see what you think!!
You're right about the clutter-free zones. The more you create them, the more you want each room to become yet another clutter-free zone. I'm down to two rooms now that are not clutter-free zones and I plan to "someday" conquer those. Lol.
I so look forward to your videos, i found out the source of my anxiety was just the clutter, so much stuff every where. Life is better now with less stuff
I have nicknamed you the "happiest minimalist". You just seem happy everytime you to a video. It seems like your journey as something that brought joy to your lives. You have a great attitude about this as a way of life and not something that is a "fad" I believe that we waste less when it comes to shopping once a week and I have a day I call errands and it helped on running around which ends up finding something to buy or eat. I gave up on coupons long time ago because we buy things not needed or didn't really like. When the machine spits them out at the grocery store I tell the clerk give them to next person in line. I get more thank you's from that small act of kindness. Thanks for sharing Miss Happiest Minimalist!
I bought those hangers too. But I bought 60 😬 and still ran out. As a kid living with a super minimal mom I guess I over did it as an adult. Now I’m pairing down! On another note, I just unfollowed target and dollar tree haulers. If I don’t know what’s in stores, I don’t “need” it. Eliminate temptation! You hit the nail. Thank you for the tips
Great tips! I love your videos. The clutter-free zones idea has really worked for me. About three weeks into my decluttering journey, I realized I was craving a space that was cleared, something to validate for myself all the hard work I was doing throughout the house, a place to clear my mind and relax, a place to let go of the clutter AND the decluttering for awhile, a place of peace and calm. So I did that for myself. I cleared out one room and called it my own. I use the room throughout the day, but I keep it tidied up. I put things away. It is my respite room. It is my training room...training me that I can easily tidy and maintain when I have less stuff.
I love your energy and it's always fun to watch your videos. When I receive a coupon from a store, I usually first think about whether I or my family need something. If not, I'm thinking of someone's birthday soon who might need something from the store. If not, I'll let it be. There is no reason to buy something unnecessarily once you have become a minimalist. Not to buy it for someone else eather.
I love your videos: #1 awesome tips and information #2 House goals - I look at your house for inspiration to keep working on mine, and #3 You are such a sweet soul - your attitude of helpfulness and kindness are such a wonderful respite!
Grocery delivery has saved us hundreds of dollars over the last year. I no longer wander aimlessly checking out the deals. We are in the process of remodeling and decluttering and would rather spend the money on simple furniture or some new plants.
I've been decluttering a lot, and still have much to go. My bedroom is TINY, I'm happy to have one window in here at the least. No closet, and it is me and my fiance in here. Our room is needing a lot of work 😂 I love this video, great advice. Thank you ❤️
Your last comment is so true! All the Extrabucks and coupons for drugstores plus watching videos on makeup and skincare had me purchasing all these "deals". When I moved into a tiny house I had 9 boxes of makeup, moisturizers, and shampoos and nowhere to keep them all. I started selling them (for a loss) on Poshmark just to get rid of them and recover something. Love watching you!
Free app's are a really good option too. Instead of a financial planner or paper habit tracker, there's an app for it. Also, I love my kindle. I can buy as many books as I want and its not cluttering my house :)
This is an amazing video, so useful! Will definitely take these tips and use them in my life! Thank you so much for your videos, your ideas really motivate me in my own space 😁
Thank you for sharing . You always have an abundance of good tips . I’ve been very guilty of putting down and not away like I use to recently ..and it shows 😔.
Hi Candice. The food thing is so true. Last year, we overbought food when we couldn't get a supermarket delivery slot because of C*****. The queues were 25,000 people long and even after that, you couldn't book a slot. We are still working our way through it now. 😩😩😩
The 'do not buy it unless you know where to store it' tip is the best... I had in mind to buy a new jewelry case for myself bc i need it... the problem is it is very large and I do not have enough free surfaces to put it on top of...
Hi Candace 😜 I was really good at putting stuff away as soon as I was done with it and then I got married LOL. I don’t like picking up after him because he should learn but how do you get your hubby and kids to do that?? Or do you just pick up after everyone all day?? I’ve picked up on his negative habit of messiness/lazy...what do you do?
Clutter catcher containers mentioned are a great idea that I may consider. I just thought it was very unfortunate that she brought them up immediately after telling us to unsubscribe to pages that encourage us to buy things (obviously I don’t have any “clutter catchers” and would have to buy some). Otherwise, this was a helpful video.
I love your tips and tricks that you share. This is not a criticism but it might make your videos more interesting if you change the locations of where you film instead of always in your bedroom. Just a thought.
What do you do if the grandparents (my parents) see gifts as expressions of love and get hurt and very much want to continue bringing lots of kids clothes toys etc into your home that you don't want or need?
I have a MIL who loves to spend money in general and is always buying my kids things they don't need. I have tried talking to her but I get the excuse that they are her only grandkids and she can buy anything she wants for them...so frustrating!
I would love money instead of physical gifts. That way I can pay bills, pay for a mani, pay for a haircut, instead of an item that I may or may not use

Lol
Lol...
Or a Husky 😊
😂 hilarious 😂
I bought that headband, when I went to look for the strand of pearls 😀
I love how you decluttered instead of buying new hangers
Target has the CUTEST headbands and they are KILLING it in jewelry! I have loved the gold layered necklace look!
@@FancyThatwithCandice I am so into the headbands, I know in the summer, they will be my best friend
Target had some great layered necklaces, I agree

I love those decluttering games!! They really are so helpful!
All good tips. And you’re correct in that we declutter but we don’t put systems or limits in place to continue that clutter free life.
Yes! Limits are KEY in successfully living clutter free!
I always look forward to your videos. I like the idea of setting boundaries for stuff. That was a light bulb 💡 moment for me.
It makes ALL the difference!
CZcams has definitely been the reason why I have bought a lot of stuff!! No joke!!
Such a great video ! I decluttered almost two years ago, I now know what is in every closet and every drawer, I only buy something if I donate something of the same. It’s been life changing . Keep up the good work ☺️
YES! Life changing is exactly how I would describe it, too!
I was literally just walking into my room thinking that my room is ALWAYS cluttered even though I'm ALWAYS cleaning. Thank you for this video!!

You are a ray of sunshine🌞
I really appreciate your content!
Wow, thank you!
I so look forward to your videos, i found out the source of my anxiety was just the clutter, so much stuff every where. Life is better now with less stuff
Oh girl, how I RELATE!!! My anxiety got SO MUCH better after I decluttered my home!! Glad it had a positive effect on you, too!

Great video! Love all your tips especially the one about putting 10 things away in one min rule!!
Yes! Thank you!
I bought those hangers too. But I bought 60 😬 and still ran out. As a kid living with a super minimal mom I guess I over did it as an adult. Now I’m pairing down!
On another note, I just unfollowed target and dollar tree haulers. If I don’t know what’s in stores, I don’t “need” it. Eliminate temptation! You hit the nail. Thank you for the tips
Where did you get the hangers?
I would have to declutter to get down to 60 as well... 30 seems impossible to me!
Great tips! I love your videos.

Hey girl hey, I’m new here and I’m so excited to be here. I’m doing this declutter thing NOW 🤦🏽♀️. Thanks so much for your help with this 💕

You are so relaxing to watch. New subscriber, Hi thanks for the tips. Love your esthetically pleasing Decor. 🐚
Free app's are a really good option too. Instead of a financial planner or paper habit tracker, there's an app for it. Also, I love my kindle. I can buy as many books as I want and its not cluttering my house :)
Some great advice. I have been decluttering for a year now and it’s going good.
It took me a solid year to declutter the main part of my house! Decluttering is the most freeing thing!
This is an amazing video, so useful! Will definitely take these tips and use them in my life! Thank you so much for your videos, your ideas really motivate me in my own space 😁
Glad you like them! And thank you for watching!!
I feel like I’m always getting rid of stuff. It’s the best feeling when you de clutter your home
I love your videos but I really need sunglasses to watch most of them. Very bright 🌕
You're so joyful. I love watching your videos!
I love your clothing style, can you share what stores you shop at?
Thank you for sharing . You always have an abundance of good tips . I’ve been very guilty of putting down and not away like I use to recently ..and it shows 😔.
Love your declutter series! So motivating! What is the paint color in your bedroom? It looks so light and pretty!
Great advice about the hangers.
Helpful Video. Thank you

I got one tip from you, that will help me down the track - don't buy things if you haven't got a place for it!! Thanks xo
The 'do not buy it unless you know where to store it' tip is the best... I had in mind to buy a new jewelry case for myself bc i need it... the problem is it is very large and I do not have enough free surfaces to put it on top of...
Getting all much needed new flooring in prep for a sale. It is going to be crazy. So glad we are minimalist but will be a mess for sure!
So much gold in this video!!!
I love all your videos, very interesting.
Glad you like them!
I love your videos. 😘
Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thanks for being here, Ana!

You are lovely lady!!
Love your videos!
great tips! tfs!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! Can you please tell us where you buy your blouses/tops?
Clutter catcher and Using blanket to hide stuff!! 😂 so going to use this!

Boundaries rock! 😁
Love the white LR, it wouldn't stay white 60 secs here
Good video
I have a MIL who loves to spend money in general and is always buying my kids things they don't need. I have tried talking to her but I get the excuse that they are her only grandkids and she can buy anything she wants for them...so frustrating!
Instead of toys, you could ask grandparents to contribute to your children college fund anually or every month.
Where did you get those clothes hangers???
I would love money instead of physical gifts. That way I can pay bills, pay for a mani, pay for a haircut, instead of an item that I may or may not use
If I put things back after using them my house would look great.
