I started doing this challenge because of your other 30 day minimalism video! I’m halfway through, but I can’t wait to share my video ☺️ I’m excited to have all of this stuff out of my house!
I count trash when I do this challenge. If it is in a cabinet or drawer and taking up space unnecessarily, it counts, IMO. An empty toothpaste box is trash but if it never leaves the cabinet then it isn't yet trash, it's clutter. I don't know why so many are hating on you for counting "trash".
Awe! Thank you so much!! 🥰 I will check it out!! I am so glad you guys took on the challenge!! I’m excited to watch yours!! Thank you for watching!! ❤️🤗
This is an awesome video and helped motivate me to go through and reorganize our kitchen. I got rid of food we will never eat (passed to family who will enjoy it) and expired food that was hiding behind things. I'm looking for more natural makeup and was wondering what brand you use?
Hey Sarah! Thanks for the motivation for the last few days of the minimalism game. I am playing it this month with 6 other youtubers. We are almost done. Kudos darling!
Hey! Thank you so much for asking! I come from a family of 11 kids! Do not worry! None of it went to waste! I was able to bless my family with it! I did mention this in my video as well! Thank you for your concern! I promise I did not waste any of it! 🥰 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I'm not Italian but I eat that Costco 'made in Italy' pasta almost everyday. Sad seeing that all going. 😆🤣 Just a little note: I'm a minimalist; next time you do this, don't count garage items as declutting, just throw those away; unless you're a horder who keeps garage around for years then of course you can count them.
Hey!! I promise all of that food went to tummy’s that would love it! Mostly my family. I have a big family... So, I was planning on doing a huge elimination diet to see what was going on with me. I got pregnant soon after and that plan went out the window. I had extreme nausea and some days all I could eat was a little bit of ramen and broth... healthy, no. But food is better than no food! Haha 😂 Also, with decluttering, due to how much I had and knowing what motivated me I saw nothing wrong with counting what I did because it kept me motivated to keep on going. Everyone is going to have different set of standards that will help them through a decluttering process. Someone who has a lot might benefit from bigger categories. But, I also can see your point and will keep that in mind as I create future content!! Thank you so much for your comment and suggestions!! I always want to be improving! I hope you have a great week!! 🤗
Counting trash and newspapers adis not what I count as decluttering unless you keep it long term-though I have seen some other videos where they count trash. usually.. 500 items is a lot. What are you going to cook with after this?
Hey! Sorry for my delayed response! Thank you so much for your comment! 🥰 I think that decluttering can look different for every single person! Due to the amount of stuff that I own being very minimal, it made perfect sense for me to count those items. But, just because I did doesn’t mean you have to. Do whatever keeps you motivated to take your house back!! ❤️ Also, I have struggled with Eczema and Perioral Dermatitis for a little while now and I was going to do a full on elimination diet to see if that was adding to it. Then I got pregnant and some days all I could eat was a little ramen. I actually got a test done, and there were no allergies, but I could still have some sensitivities. All of that is on hold so that I can focus on growing my baby. Again, thank you for the watching and for your comment! I will definitely keep that in mind as I create future content! I hope you are having an amazing week!! 🥳🥰
For the most part, I don't really purchase much at all. My family has a group that is called Trash to Treasure on Marco Polo. This is where we quickly ask if anyone needs anything that we are decluttering before we send it off to donate. I generally only take hand-me-downs for my girls. I also any keep 8-12 outfits for my girls in each size. I don't like to spend money on stuff that I don't need. So to answer your question, I don't think I bought anything other than food during that time! Thanks for your question! I am always trying to improve! Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions!! 😊
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🤗Decluttering looks different for each person. This is what the challenge looked like for me and my situation. I am proud of what I was able to Declutter. Thank you for commenting and for watching!
OMG you buy too much foods. And a bit wasteful especially the one already opened. A bit disappointed . I know you need to declutter to start your minimalism journey but you also need to be mindful to not be wasteful.
Thank you for your comment. We did have a little much. Last year was so crazy that I started picking up a couple items each time we went to the store on top of a bigger Costco trip. This resulted in a little bit of overwhelm and stress. I have had some problems with my digestion and a face rash and so I decided to change up my diet to see if it would help. Therefore decluttering things that did not align with that change. Soon after I became pregnant and got pretty sick for the first 21 weeks and I could barely eat anything. I even repurchaced a couple things like some ramen because that was all I could stomach. The amount of food isn’t wasteful if you make sure you eat it. I like to keep track of dates so that I make sure to use them up before they go bad. In the past, I have gone periods of time without going to the store and we make food with what we have on hand. With that being said, I definitely had way to much inventory for my small space with everything else I have to keep track of. Another quick note that will hopefully ease your mind is that I have a huge family and I sent the food to a couple of my siblings and my parents. So, I was not wasteful. Yay!! I was able to bless my family! I hoped that cleared things up! They were super happy to receive the food! Feel free to ask me any other questions that you may have. Again thank you for taking time to comment and give me your feedback. 😊 I am trying my best to be aware of what I purchase to avoid avoidable waste in the future. I may not be perfect, but I will try my best!! Thank you for input!! I really appreciate it!! 😊
Great declutter, totally enjoyed it 👍 ❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Yay! I love seeing you do these. It helps to see things I wouldn't have considered letting go of.
I totally agree!! I love watching what others Declutter too. It definitely helps me stay motivated!! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰❤️

That is awesome!! 🙌 Since December, I have been using mostly honest beauty. They usually have sales around different holidays! 🥰
@@SimplifywithSarah thank you! I'll look into it!
Wow! Great job! Such a good way to declutter day by day!
Thank you so much!! It definitely is a fun way to challenge myself to Declutter!! 🤗 Thank you so much for the support!! 🥰❤️

That is amazing! I am excited to check it out!! 🥰 Thanks for letting me know!!
i realize it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?
Well done! Time to let go of those items cluttering your home. 🙌🙌
Yas!! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment!! 🥰❤️
@Simplify with Sarah I also make videos about slow and simple living in Australia. 🙂 I hope you can check out my youtube channel. 😍
What did you did with all the food? Oh my gosh that’s a lot of money and good food that you may not want but others might

Do you stop your buying during the declutter process???
For the most part, I don't really purchase much at all. My family has a group that is called Trash to Treasure on Marco Polo. This is where we quickly ask if anyone needs anything that we are decluttering before we send it off to donate.
I generally only take hand-me-downs for my girls. I also any keep 8-12 outfits for my girls in each size. I don't like to spend money on stuff that I don't need. So to answer your question, I don't think I bought anything other than food during that time!
Thanks for your question! I am always trying to improve! Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions!! 😊
A lot of what you are decluttering is trash, that doesn’t normally count in the challenge.
