Join me on my journey over the next year and let’s see where we end up at the end of the year.
Good things are coming in 2025 😌
Wow this is awesome thanks for sharing this ☺️👏
@@Cali_Collector75 thank you for watching this is going to be a hard project, but I think in the end I will be better off.
Book looks interesting thanks again 😊
@@Cali_Collector75 it’s a really good book you should check it out.
Hey Aubrey, I am watching this, it takes courage to do what you are doing, I am very impressed, I would encourage you, if you feel like it, to continue in that direction, so many people are in this situation. 🤗❤👍
(Do you know how to eat an elephant? I was told....one bite at a time)
@@lgeorges1 thank you George my husband and I have a agreed that once I get thru this process we want to stop spending money on stuff and start spending our money on experiences. But we have to get to that point first. 🥰
👍💯👍💯👍💯👍
@@ilciclistaabdel2 thank you so much. I got this. 💪🏻
Decluttering isn’t just about things, it’s about creating space for growth, peace, and joy. Thank you for sharing the book and your process with such honesty; it’s a gift to those watching and may inspire many to take similar steps in their own lives. Wishing you all clarity, strength, and endless breakthroughs on this new path!✨
@NextInnerLevel thank you so much. That is my hope that I can take this journey and not only help myself but also help some others along the way. It’s crazy how stuff can give us joy one minute and then anxiety the next. Excited for what to come out of this journey. 🥰
Hello 🙋 Thanks for sharing! Interesting content! Happy New Year ❤
NICE!! May your plans come to fruition. 🙂👏 Wishing you a wonderful day! ❤👍
Great idea to clear the year and recap some things.,, I'm glad you getting it together over there...✅
Thank you for choosing to share. It sounds like it is going to be a really good journey for not just you...but for all of us as we travel it with you!
@@noexcuses_beliefinmyself thank you and yes it will be a journey. I have been watching you go thru some of your stuff over the past year and it really motivated me to find something so that I could start getting rid of things. It’s hard for me to let go of things, but I think in the end I will be in a better place.
Love this Aubrey! I look forward to watching your journey through the year. Emotional attachments to items make it hard to get rid of them for sure.
@@angelasmith5765 yeah I totally agree for sure Angie. I have such a hard time letting things go so hopefully this will help me let go of some of the things I just don’t need anymore. It’s going to be an interesting year for sure.
Clutter is in my room so much toys lol
@@Cali_Collector75 lol yes it can take us over at times that is for sure
I know not everyone has an extra bedroom in their home for a wax room, but that helped me so much. Having it all in one room really made me appreciate how much i have.
@@maggiejl99 hey Maggie yeah I am trying to get everything into one place. I think it will be helpful to understand what I have. At one point it was all in one place and as the collection grew it started getting out into any little free spot I could find. So working on getting it all into one place again.
I appreciate you being vulnerable here! I think the year to clear is all about how our external world reflects the internal. I am enjoying this series - maybe next year I will try working through it!
@@stephisalive9889 Steph I totally agree. It really is a good book and I think that I do this for a year I can stop this cycle of constant purchases. It’s going to be a very emotional year, but I really would like to do this before I turn 50. 💜
Long-term goals are great! Haing so much stuff, even home fragrance, can get overwhelming and take the fun out of actually using the product. I know I have seen my collection and thought Hmm this is a bit much and adding more will just make it worse. Can't wait to see how it goes for you Aubrey!
@@MeetMsMarie thanks Marie, that is exactly what I was thinking when I started this. I love all my home fragrances, but man lately it has gotten out of control and I really need to get it to a place where I can actually use what I have. It’s going to be a long journey, but I feel I will be in a better place if I just stay focused. 🥰
It bothers me when I buy stuff and don’t use it ❤
I hear you, I know it’s not easy to be raw . I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and feelings! I struggle, I truly do . I honestly will follow along . I will see if I can find it on Audible because I can’t read physical books , I can’t focus on what Im reading. Not to say I do much better with Audiobooks .
Clearing my stress, my mind, and emotions. I have a friend that I thought I could trust with my thoughts but I have recently learned that I can’t. So, I revert back to keeping it all locked up! Thats not helping or healthy for me.
I definitely want to follow your journey Aubrey💜 I will encourage you along the way !
Oh my goodness… Yes … the highs and lows it’s a struggle for sure. Oh yes, people in my life know Im stressed but usually its alot all at once… because I keep alot inside.
I’m glad you are doing this for yourself 💜 I get what you are saying. I am going to follow along . I may go slower than you but I will share over the next few days . I need to face my fears too and yes, it makes so much sense. I’m going to need my husbands help with projects for sure.
@@melissaferguson3464 Melissa, I can totally relate with you. I have always been a person that keeps to myself and not share too much. However I really have this some though and I was like, you know what I know I can’t be the only one with these struggles. Maybe if I just start talking others will start talking back and we can support each other. I have no idea how this is all going to play out but I hope I can get some answers for myself and maybe I can help others along the way. I am kind of a mess, but hey the first step is to be honest with myself and others. I also hope I create a group of people who feel safe in my environment to speak freely. No one is perfect and no one has all the answers, but collectively maybe we can figure this all out. I love my stuff but I think I have gone a little overboard in some areas and I want to get back to a place of appreciation, not anxiety. So glad you are going to follow along, I think it’s going to be a year of highs and lows for many of us, but hopefully we can help each other thru the lows. 🥰
@ You are so right , no one is perfect… But I love the idea of being able to help each other figure it out. I love the idea of creating a group where everyone can speak honestly and openly and know that they will not be judged. I know personally I have shoved so many things deep down and have not truly dealt with them . initially, I think the primary reason the bearing things deep down is because being a mom, a wife and a friend… Knowing other people need me to be strong. My husband has been incredibly supportive, but you know, I will tell you what I experience is men generally want to fix… And sometimes as women when we are struggling, we just want to talk about things. Or at least I feel like that’s me, but I have to get to that point where I feel like I just can’t take much more! And then my husband is looking at me like… okay I had no idea! 🤷
I agree I know personally it is going to be a year of highs and lows. I love the idea of helping each other through the lows, but also cheering each other on with the achievements and breakthroughs! 💜🥰💖
@ awww Melissa I love that, cheering each other on during the highs as well. Yes this will be a place of support and no judgement. I agree with you on the mom, wife, friend issue. We feel like we have to be strong for others and we forget about ourselves. Hopefully we can spend some time in 2025 focused on ourselves for at least a little bit. I have been surprised in the last week I have gotten so many comments about people being excited for this journey. This just confirms that I am not alone and there are people out there who want to talk about all these issues. 🥰
Good job thank you for sharing ❤
Hello 👋 Aubrey , here watching ❤❤
@@budgetwithfatima6530 thank you Fatima I appreciate your support especially on this journey. 🥰
Everything Is most def connected❤you can do it thank you for sharing you personal experience🎉🎉
@@TerricoFernando thank you for the words of encouragement. You are very correct it’s all connected.
Great video my friend
I think this is a great idea. I have so much stuff, it’s like I need to have multiple extras of everything. I would love to use up and get to a point of only having a couple of back ups. Me too no poker face when it comes to being stressed. I definately need to lessen those days.
@@ErikaJohnson23 yeah I struggle with no poker face as well, when I get stressed it’s pretty obvious that I am stressed out. Less stress days and a happier me is definitely a huge goal for me. We got this I hope you follow along with me Erika and we can do this together. 🥰
Thanks for sharing, Aubrey.
@@maggiejl99 thanks for watching. It’s going to be an interesting year. I think I have just gotten myself into a pickle with all my stuff and I need to figure it out. My 1400sqft home can’t handle all my stuff. 😆
Hi doll, good to see you, Happy New Year! Sis, I'm so proud of you!🤗 May the Lord continue to bless on this part of your journey. Praying for you always, I'll always be here for you!. Endless hugs, prayers, and love. ❤To❤
@@SOFwT2020 awww thank you Theresa, I was so scared to post this, I literally was shaking, but I was like I just need to face this and make it a journey. I miss seeing you on TH-cam. I hope you are doing well. 🥰🫂
@thefragrancefairy aww, thanks sis, I miss you too. Sometimes we just need to jump into the deep end trusting God to be the loving God that He is. See how strong you are! You're abilities are endless! Your journey is about self discovery and time, something many have a hard tome reviewing. I'm well doll, God is so faithful! I'm posting shorts, and preparing to start posting Bible studies soon. Thanks for the loving hugs and for being you!🥰 ❤️ To❤
@ you most definitely are a blessing in my life Theresa. 🥰
@@thefragrancefairy Aww sis I so thankful the Lord brought us together! Back at ya, you're a part of my heart for sure!😉Have a wonderful day doll!❤To❤
Hi Aubrey, new sub here and I relate so much to this video. Thanks for sharing something so personal.
@@AdrianaBerlanga1207 thank you so much, I think many people struggle with this so why not get a conversation started about it. The suggestions coming my way from this series has been so helpful. Thank you for joining my small community, welcome. 🤗
Excellent dear friend♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👌👌
@@Sevda_recipe thank you very much. 🥰
It is really hard to ask for help! I have the same problem, I’ll just do it myself. ❤. Sounds like a great goal!! Searching for happiness is an endless journey. You have to learn to appreciate all the great things you have, remind yourself of those things often, and you’ll find happiness. We all have our demons. I am trying to eat well and work out, it’s been 4 weeks at this point! but it is so hard! I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and it’s always so hard, I’ve succeeded and failed, gained weight back again, at some point, I give up! Then I get a wild hair for a bit, with no results. I really want to stick to it this time!! I’m no spring chicken either! I can’t give up this time! I’ll try and help you stick on track, if you will try and help me!! Just ask me from time to time, did you work out? Still making lunches? I can ask you questions from time to time to help keep you accountable as well!! Thoughts? What an honest open post! ❤ Amazing!
@@SheriRussell-e7d you know how will check the n on you. I think that is the hardest part is getting to a point where it sticks. Your weight loss my need for crap I am just not using, but have to have because it’s on SALE. It’s horrible, but I think think if we both focus we might just be able to get thru this and be happy with our results. We got this girl 💪🏻
Good luck hope you achieve your goals
@@TheStephensonGrechFamily thank you so much really hoping I do. 💜
I love your Microsoft shirt!! You should put everything on your channel that is part of your life! I suspected you might have some 'decluttering' issues when you talk about how much wax you had. Thanks for sharing this with us. I think if you can tell your viewers, then that is part of the way to improving things. Aubrey, I saved a lot of things for computer -- with all sorts of old technology hanging around. My ex was more of a hoarder. She store piles and piles of thins in the basement. I tried to tidt up on two separate occassions. I was accused of throwing things out the first time. To me, it was all just junk. There were more than 80 stuffed animals for example. So, I fely like I was never forgiven. The send time, I cleaned up -- put kelp each thing in garbade bags to be sorted by each person. They never sorted through their own stuff. Again it was outgrown toys and scrap papers, etc. I always felt this was a big issue me ex will need to deal with some day. I think it is a very common thing! Thanks for bringing it up! Take care.
@@TheShamusOfSlots shamus, this story you just told nailed it. We have so much stuff that we just sort thru over and over and try and clean around and it just becomes a viscous cycle. I am sorry you had to go thru this with your ex, it’s no fun. I watch a lot of TH-cam and honestly I feel the people who give off the best happy vibes are the ones who are doing things. I think those of us with too much stuff are stuck in some sort of cycle. This past week I have watched so many videos of people who are doing no but low buy because they have enough stuff to last them a lifetime, me included. My hope by the end of this year is to get this situation under control. Thank you again for all your support and kindness. 😀
I think everyone needs to do this
@@PretirementDays it’s hard to do, but I am going to do this and I think I will be in a better place at the end of it. 🥰
Aubrey, I'm so excited for this 🙌 what a brilliant concept and I'm so thankful you introduced me to it ❤ It doesn't go unnoticed how brave it is to share this process and I'm so proud of your vulnerability 🙌 you're gonna help a lot of people ❤ btw im commenting from my personal account not my business helpful home account as I'm on hiatus as you know 😂😘
@sundaydawn3377 yes I hope you are enjoying your time off and getting some quality time with your family. Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It’s scary to out yourself out there, but I do hope that others join me on this journey. It’s going to be an emotional year, but I feel at the end of this journey I will be in a better place. If even one person joins me and gets something positive from it than all the work is worth it. 🥰
Hope 2025 is starting off well for you. 🎉
@thefragrancefairy yes having a lovely Christmas break with my family ❤ still on heavy baby watch here 😂 grandbaby coming any day now 🙏 i really did enjoy your video so much and found that even though you felt some discomfort cause that much vulnerability is new to you, you were inspiring as well as relatable which is a rare combo 🙌 i think you're gonna find that the thing you're looking for to add more fulfillment or the thing you may "love" that adds something to your life may be helping people with your journey here ❤ I'm already invested and considering joining in and don't forget that tiny tidies is an open playlist if you wanna join in while on your decluttering journey 😘 we'd love to have you ❤ ill be back feb 1st but Melinda is hosting while I'm gone
@ eeek so exciting new grand baby. 🥰 oh my gosh I would love to join the tiny tidies playlist. Excuse my ignorance o am still learning how TH-cam works a year in. 🤦🏼♀️ how do I join in? I was just watching all your videos. Awww thank you I was shaking during the video so your kind words made my day. 🥰
@@thefragrancefairy oh no worries hun Michelle from my everyday wife life talked me through a lot of this playlist stuff when i first started out 🤷♀️🤣😘 it would prob be easier to wait for me for first week of February since it's a guest host running the playlist til then but if you don't wanna wait I can get in touch with them and get you set up sooner probably 🤷♀️ we share the playlist through Instagram chat group and you just copy and paste it into your description box each week 😌 it's all easier than it sounds honestly and when I get back after baby and mama are settled i can talk you through all details no prob ❤️ ill just walk ya through it easy peasy 😘
@ okay that sounds perfect. Waiting for February will also help me get some content together. I absolutely love your channel so connecting with more people like you sounds so fun and inspiring. Enjoy the rest of your time off and I look forward to seeing you and chatting with you more in February. Thanks again for your kind words and encouragement.
❤❤❤❤
@@123Tao-4 thank you very much. 🥰
Amazing Sharing
@@Healthandlife716 thank you so much. 😌
Aubrey the hardest thing in life is asking for help! Do you use mindful meditation? I can say it helps. You drop into the present moment "the here and now" Also getting older / hormones/ identifying as a mom and your kids get older and then you have to find yourself again. Its all hard. My goodness i know all this. CLUTTER will bog you down. Oh girl i cant wait to see your journey ❤
@@jeanniefarley Jeannie I do not do mindful meditation, but I will look into that for sure. I think hormones has a lot to do with this as I have never really felt this way before it’s so new for me. The clutter really does not help with this situation, this is the year to clear and hopefully at the end of this year I will be in a better place. 🤞
@thefragrancefairy ❤️❤️❤️ I will definitely be on your side and hoping for the best for you. I know you can do this.
@@jeanniefarley thank you so much I really appreciate it, I think as this gets harder I will get inspired to keep going because of people like you who are cheering me on. Cause you know there are going to be things I have to organize that is not as fun as wax. 🫠
Like25 my dear friend..very nice sharing❤❤❤ new friend is here✋ done subscribe 🙏🙏🙏
Contenu intéressant
@@افكارواصلاحاتمتعددةوهادفة-ظ5ل thank you very much. 😌
I’m the same way with not reaching out to family or friends to talk. I also hold it in nd say I will/can figure it out nd my family tells me all the time tht I am NOT alone nd tht I need to reach out & talk with them instead of keeping it all inside and to myself🤦🏻♀️I do need to get better at tht asap.
Omg! Tht man tht I married says the same thing abt his clothes “stinking” bcus they smell like my wax🙄I don’t hve warmers in our bedroom anymore bcus of tht bcus I dnt wanna keep hearing him complaining lol🤣my kids say their friends always tell them they smell like “baked goods”🙄lol-my reply is…”well then you smell delicious😋lol
Great video Aubrey😉keep your head up hun💕🫶🏼tfs
@@TheWaxFiles1007 thank you so much. I went back and forth about putting this project up on TH-cam, I was really scared but the amount of people that have reached out has reinforced this was a good idea. People are so helpful and funny thing is, not funny haha a lot of people are struggling with the same issues as me and people want to talk when they feel safe. I am hoping to help myself and possibly a few people along the way with this journey. At the end of the day we all really want to be happy, so now I am putting in the work to try and make that happen. Girl talk people really want to help. It’s hard I know I really know, but there is something freeing when you just open up and stop holding it back. Cheering for you as well. 🎉
@ I agree! There are a lot of ppl going thru the same thing tht someone else is going thru and if just one person speaks on it, you nvr kno who it culd be helping in tht moment🤗the wax community is amazing🤩we all hve at least tht in common (the love of home fragrance) but we’re all human nd deal with everyday stresses & it’s ok to talk abt it🫶🏼hope ur doing well Aubrey♥️
@ I love the wax community. It helps me feel normal especially with my wax collection. I am doing well, the start to this journey has been a little difficult, but I am going to keep moving forward. 💕 Hope you had a wonderful weekend. 😃
New sub here from fellow TH-camR lets grow and connect ❤
@@pamelafiyane5655 thank you so much. 🥰 May 2025 be a great year for all of us. 🎉
