Scissors! They’re just one of many things I want one of on at least every floor of my house, if not in every room. Scissors, basic screwdrivers, cleaning supplies, even WD-40 - If these things weren’t readily at hand, I’d procrastinate more on chores and/or the item wouldn’t be returned to its proper place.
I couldn't find my purple scissors, I have another pair of the blue ones, and another in gray in the garage (that I couldn't find). They'll turn up. I did not include my pinking shears though - we don't cut normal things with this!
I am working on a less is more lifestyle and it feels so good, for example using up all my beauty/hair/bath products, I had such a tendency to over buy, I am working on getting my products down to a few'
Yes, by and large less is more. And I'm also trying to empty all those partials we accumulate! Even when I try to buy less it's easy to get sucked into a great sale or limited editions. Thanks for stopping by! 💜
I love how your personality comes through in this video. 😊 I also need scissors everywhere. And while I'm not a makeup person, or someone who would just look at color groups, your explanation of the palettes made perfect sense. I like that for things you've decided not to minimize, you've been really thoughtful about why. It will help to think that way about my stuff.
Yes, I like calming colors in certain areas of my home, but the sad beige thing is... depressing. Thanks for stopping by - I hope to see in other comments (I still respond to all comments on older videos too). 💜
I enjoyed this video! I love your humor and your love for your kitties! I do the same with my my dogs, so many blankets and sending them over the rainbow bridge with their favorite is comforting to me also.
💜 Thank you 😊 At least I'm not alone in that one. I was actually just getting upset over it again because I'd found a small one I crocheted that I wished I'd sent her with. I know logically it doesn't matter, but emotionally it does.
I keep my hobby (art, music, photography) supplies, but I'm trying to figure out how to better organize them. I actually just got rid of a bleep load of scarves. They were taking up a whole drawer, and when I honestly looked them them, there were only about six that I ever wore. It was freeing, and now I have the remaining scarves neatly folded in a fabric box instead of all chaotic in a dresser drawer. - As far as scissors, I'm with you there. I use scissors practically every day multiple times. When I worked in an office, it was a thing to take other peoples' scissors - and that was before the TV show.
Hi again! Yes there is freedom in ridding ourselves of excess. I just felt like there are things that I can keep more of without feeling like I'm drowning. But I can tell you totally get it! Thanks again :)
crying right with you on the fluffy blankets...our buddy cat crossed over wrapped in hers.....the one thing i am not decluttering is my wardrobe of clothes until i have lost my weight....lost 2/3rds so far but this last 3rd keeps going up and down but i will get it off.....and then major decluttering of the clothes....
Awww... Gypsy was my loss in October and she was my soul cat - which I didn't know existed until I had her. I only keep clothes that currently fit in my closet. That's said, I do have vacuum bags of all of my favorite pieces in each size down to mediums. There are some random piles of clothes I need to go through though...
CRAFT SUPPLIES - I work for my local renaissance festival, making my own costumes and a few items for my husband too. Foam, felt, fabric, beads, glue, fancy trim, bedazzles, ribbon… I’ve got a little bit of everything! First time watcher :) 💕
Thanks for stopping by! I agree. I also occasionally will take very specific commission work so I can't get rid if that yarn. Hope to see you some more!
I probably will give you a run for your money on the throw blankets. And I live in TX. I do understand your rationale. I’m with you on the scissors too. I have a pair in every room (not the garage, but thanks for that idea!). Linens in general I don’t declutter. I might have to cover plants in the winter, use for drafts in windows, etc.
There was one blanket that I debated if it qualified as a throw blanket but I didn't include it because it's either full or queen. And I really only use it as another layer on the most frigid nights on my bed.
I can relate to this video I have been decluttering & reselling items from my house for 2 years on & off hoping to downsize & move to smaller home. I still have too much. The most items I seem to keep is pottery/ceramic items some I use some I just keep for decorations. But we have to feel good that we have let go & are decluttering better then before. I figure once we find a home we want to move too will be going through all these items again & will let more go I hope lol
Oh man! I have so many planters and pots - I have been taking them to the garage so they didn't jump out as a category. To be fair, I was considering if I wanted to go through them before I have a yard sale so not sure that would qualify!
Plus, it's not cheap to replace - especially if I have sweater quantity of a particular yarn. I have not bought very much in the past few years BECAUSE I have built a great stash to knit or crochet from.
I was waiting for you to say plants! I love seeing your greenery, it feels so fresh. My category of overwhelm right now is yarn - yikes, we won't talk about that today. My category of profuse delight is bath gels and salts and scented soaps. I have some from 30 years ago that are still good (I check) and I am slowly working my way through them bath by bath. I have room for them and they are organized (one of the few things that are), so they are not going away until they are (or I am) used up! 😀
I get it - my dad proclaims he's got a black thumb so I don't gift him plants - unless they're faux. Even then he usually just picks out his own. I just get antsy after a few minutes in the tub. I'd probably feel differently if I had jets!
Hmmm, I was wracking my brain to think of a category until you mentioned plants. They make me happy, I love caring for them, and they bring life to the house. 🌿🌱🪴
I did go a bit overboard once I was fully moved in and went over my threshold to be able to care for them all. But overall I am happy keeping more plants than most people I know! And yes, I'll replace the sad pink syngonium - I legitimately don't know why she decided she hated her life.
i love having scissors in arms reach. i have a pair dedicated to each room in my tiny apartment lol but i refuse to part with embrodiry floss or thread, i never know when ill need a lime green thread but i have it lol also board games and video games, i regret so many that i got rid of over the years and i miss them and they are too expensive to replace on a whim
Oh yeah, because I own an old gaming system I don't get rid of games. And I definitely miss a few from childhood that I'm sure we traded in at some point. I did accidentally declutter a cord once which will come up in a future video on things I regret decluttering!
I still struggle with old photographs. But I have room because I decluttered so much else. Also sports equipment. I have not been back to play sports since the pandemic because of some health issues but it is part of my identity and I hope to go back to playing sports regularly. And again, I currently have room.
Oh yeah... I definitely still have my weights and weight bench. I'm surprised I didn't think to include those even though I'm not using them these days. But every time I think to sell them I feel very edgy and resistant. So for now, it's not time to let those go.
I don’t think I have ever decluttered a blanket just for the fact I have enough……even if I don’t use them all, I cannot find any reason to declutter them lol and plants….I have literally kept dead plants before hoping they will come back to life (and sometimes they did!) but even if they die I give them ample time to try and come back so yeah I don’t declutter plants either unless they are for sure for SURE goners haha
Oh, for sure. The crispy one I'm still trying to nurse back because there was a tiny bit of growth I noticed one day so... I haven't thrown in the towel quite yet.
I have roughly 500 colored pencils and about 300 gel pens. Ahem. And, I'm pretty sure I have more scissors. At the same time, last week, I decluttered so much that a maintenance person in my building ran up asking, "Are you moving?!" No, just lightening up my life. A life that loves making art. PS: I have one of those skirts and need more. Any recommendations for where to find them?
Nice! We still need hobbies that feed our souls. Yes, I love them - the majority came from Darn Good Yarn - the Facebook group for them is very dangerous but great deals in there. Be sure to also do the rewards program www.darngoodyarn.com . There's another lovely lady with a Facebook group only facebook.com/groups/171469690824697/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

I dont know if I've ever heard anyone so similar! You are real in a great way! I agree, some things need to be kept! I need color to feel alive!
Yes, I like calming colors in certain areas of my home, but the sad beige thing is... depressing. Thanks for stopping by - I hope to see in other comments (I still respond to all comments on older videos too). 💜

I love my scissors. I also love my throw pillows. I have 5 on my couch. They have covers that change out.
I haven't gotten into throw pillows. Only because I always think I'll knit or crochet my own throw pillows (covers) but I never get around to them!
I feel ya on the yarn. Scrapbooker over here 👋🏻 , pretty paper doesn’t tend to leave very easily or stickers for that matter.
Plus, it's not cheap to replace - especially if I have sweater quantity of a particular yarn. I have not bought very much in the past few years BECAUSE I have built a great stash to knit or crochet from.

Oooh, that's a good category. I learned I'm not as big on sitting in a bath as I want to be, but I still keep a couple scented bath salts.

Earrings! I have probably 40 pairs or so. And I am with ya on the scissors, I have at least five in a fairly small house.
Nice! Can never have too many scissors. 💜

happy someone does not want to declutter everything they own great video
Thanks! I think minimalism is great for some but... I'm just in the camp now of enjoying what I own as long as it's not overwhelming.
I agree with you
Thanks 😊

My honest assumption…..all minimalists have multiple scissors! Don’t let them fool you! Lol
😆 you're probably not wrong.
I won’t declutter my Harry Potter collection. ⚡️🧹🧙🏻
I get it!
Sometimes they declutter themselves 🤣🤣🤣
I mean, I'm not wrong! I've done everything "right" a few times and they just hate life anyway...
I like your voice. 😀 and your honesty.
Thank you so much! 💜
Those loud scratch noises- eeks like nails on a chalkboard.
Thanks for letting me know! I sometimes forget other may listen on headphones. Will reconsider or at least turn them way down.
