it’s so important to reflect and recognise that as much as we love bags as a community, are we fuelling overconsumption and excess purchases in the name of having the latest release? i’m glad you continued this conversation. no one should have to get themselves into financial trouble or storage trouble just to fit into the community. we can still be a bag lover and have a small collection, and we can have bag collections of any size, do WIMB videos, and we shouldn’t feel like we’re not a proper bag collector/ lover. and obviously, people’s money are theirs to do with what they will, but i just don’t want people thinking they have to excessively spend on bags they don’t even use just to feel included in this space. much love ❤
I am where you are and I had to ask myself, "when is enough, enough?" I have a 12 cube shelf with storage cubes housing my SLGs. I have 2 5-shelf book cases, 1 extra wide 9-cube storage shelf and 1 extra wide 12 cube storage shelf that will fit the tote bags with no problems. I use the tops of the book cases and shelves too, plus I have storage drawers for all the bags charms and pouches. I find myself being disappointed when I think about all the money I've spent and how it could have been better purposed elsewhere. I keep reminding myself that no bag looks or feels as good as debt-free does! I need to get my life together real quick. Fix it Jesus, fix it.🙏
Fix it Jesus and take the wheel!!! Yes I think we are in the exact same place. I don't want to sacrifice any more space and I definitely need to pay down my credit card....AGAIN. I sincerely wish you the best in regaining control of your collection and spending habits. The struggle is real. Thanks for sharing ❤️
This video is right on time for me. I live in a 4 bedroom house and my bags are suppose to be in one if my extra bedroom..Lol . But instead in my master bedroom I have 3 shelves in the room and you can at least put 20 bags on the shelf. I also have bags on my bed, in my bedroom closet. And I have ran out of space. I have decided as of right now to carry by bags and see what works for me and what doesn’t. And ones that doesn’t I will be selling them. My friend sadly to say I know I need to stop purchasing but I have a love for bags. And purchasing something I love makes me happy. I understand the struggle but I don’t have no solution because I know I need to stop purchasing also. All I’m saying you’re not by yourself it is so hard .And is so many of us is going through the same struggle purchasing the things we love that makes us happy. Tfs😊❤
Yes start carrying bags and eliminating what truly doesn't work for you. Sadly we can't keep them all and definitely don't have the space for everything. I don't what is going to be harder, buying less or downsizing. Wishing you the best. Thanks for sharing ❤️.
Hi Beautiful… ugh and big sigh😔 You are right on time with this video. I am currently on a break from YT mainly because I had to deal with my bags. I’m embarrassed to say that I’m in a 5 bedroom house and 3 bedrooms are FILLED with my bags! Bags on king size beds, bags on shelves, bags in closets.. I can’t do this anymore! I have made the decision to downsize/donate/& sell some of my bags and take my chances on having regrets and separation anxiety of giving away bags. For me, the only storage solution is to downsize. Best to you on your journey of finding storage solutions ❤
You are among folks who understand Auntie! I wish all the best in downsizing. It's so hard especially when you really like your items. I can only imagine the process you are going through right now. I sincerely feel overwhelmed too. Thank you for sharing and love that this was a safe space for you to do so. TFW ❤️. Happy Easter!
Woo woo woo Chile woo the TH-cam bag influencers are real and addicting. I have bags at home in Wisconsin and here in Arizona, and I’m out of control. All of my bags in Arizona are in dust bags because the dust is really bad. I’m working on storage solutions here in Arizona, but for the most part they all fit in a few closets. I’m gonna sell most of my juicy couture collection this summer as I like a few but not in love. I do store a lot of totes inside of each other and multiples in dust bags. I have a plastic storage drawer for my slg’s. I sold a few things that I really love and have total regret. Yes, sis I’m out of control over here too! I’m glad you got it off your chest, happy shopping! 😂💕👸🏽🫰🏾💃🏽💵
Yes us influencers are definitely doing our jobs!! Great storage suggestions. I'm going to start listing bags very soon. Do you ever lose track of bags between the 2 homes? Your "So nice I bought it twice" video makes even more sense now lol. TFS 💗
@@momambition I definitely miss my bags from Wisconsin. I try to bring some bags back to Arizona every time I go or exchange some. I have intentions of giving some of my duplicates away as gifts, like fundraising at my family reunion or to my sisters for their birthdays or my subscribers too. I may sell some of my duplicates this year when I go back to Wisconsin for the summer. Happy Easter! 🐣
I took a two year break from buying bath and body works. I just used my last hand soap but still have a few candles. I’m only buying bath and body as a one out one in thing. I’m also on a pen and notebook book ban. I’m decluttering other areas like dishes and clothes. Bags and accessories are my weakness. I have a room dedicated to those but I’ve overflowed my shelves and refuse to buy another. 😂 It is so messy right now, you’d only see a photo on eye witness news if I’m buried alive by them. 😁😂😁 You are doing well to make decisions about what doesn’t work for you. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
I love that so many of you ladies have rooms for your bags! That's also a setup for doing too much. It sounds like we are a all working on finding a balance. I love pens and notebooks too and only tend to slip up during back to school season on those items 🤣🤣. I have so much BBW that it may take several years to work through it all....if I don't start giving stuff away. Suz, I appreciate you watching and understanding!!!
I sold/donated close to 40 bags at the end of last year. I felt overwhelmed and needed to downsize. Much like you, I plan to just enjoy the bags in my collection and only buy what’s on my wishlist, which at the moment consists of three bags.
Wow that's amazing! I applaud your determination to downsize and stick with it. It is very overwhelming to have too much of anything. Thank you for sharing! TFW ❤️
I was close to 50 bags a couple of months ago, and just little by little started letting go of the ones I wasn’t in love with. For me, if a bag sits too long without enough use, it’s getting the boot! Downsizing can really help when feeling overwhelmed, but after that it’s really about being intentional on what bags you bring in. I think once you part with some of your bags, you’ll be fine and you’ll find more joy in the ones you choose to keep.
Yes I noticed that you are able to quickly make decisions about bags and how it fits into your collection and lifestyle! I love that about you. You are very intentional and its easy to pick up on in your content. But honestly I just love your aesthetic and style in general. You are goals sis. Appreciate the words of encouragement. ❤️
Recognizing that you have a shopping problem is big. I have to applaud you for that. I try to keep my bags under 20. Anything more than that makes me feel anxious and guilty. ❤
Whew!!! Under 20? That's really good. I think it's definitely doable with a luxury collection. It's the contemporary bags that cause most us to go down a slippery slope lol. Thank you for watching ❤️
I have to many as well and my anxiety is on 1000! I know I need to downsize or something but I can't find items that I'm willing to part with and won't regret. And when I finally do, I buy something else 😔. I waiting for Ikea to restock a shelf I need to out in my room, but I already know it won't be enough. I have over 200 handbags and accessories. So I know I need to sit my assets down.
Sit your assests down 🤣🤣🤣. Too funny. Wow over 200. I'm trying to stop before I get there. It's really easy to do. I hope you are able to let go of enough items to ease the anxiety and still love what you have. Thanks for sharing 💗
This so relatable. I try not to buy so much B&BW.. Those items do expire.. in my POV.. The scent definitely smells different after a certain period passes. For storage: I Fold those city totes that’s just me. They’re canvas anyways so they’ll be ok.. I’ve done that with my canvas LV Neverfull since 2008 and it’s still looks good.. so I told myself why not fold the Coach Canvas City Totes. I also need to start one of those Poshmarks too.. to sell to make room.. but it’s a whole process for me to eliminate bags since I love my bags 😅😅 I congratulate you in advance for doing so. When the Hype kicks in I usually start shopping my closet and what I have.. Purse storage I fold anything foldable if possible… I slowed down on the SLGs for sure.. so many shades of every color I cannot keep up with them.. Unless I i really like it I will let time pass to see if it’s a dopamine kicking in or I truly love it and to see if i have nothing similar.. When is it enough… I try to go back how I was before I started this channel.. Remembering buying SLGs when my old one is breaking down.. When I loose interest of the bag.. and finding out I only bought it due to they hype at the time….Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤
You know I was just thinking about folding my city totes the other day. That would save a ton of space! Yes choose a sales platform that works best for you. I may also start a Mercari as well. Meanwhile I'm going to try and avoid the hype and will be taking a mini break from shopping to get my life together 😆😆😆. I'm so glad you understand. I love your collection. TFS 💗.
I use storage container to store my purses as well as foldable clothes. I have two smaller container that I store coordinating wallets in. I got rid of Dooney & Burke purses that were from the 2005 leather collection except 1 that I kept for nostalgic purposes for the leather faded. As for Bath & Body Works, I only buy enough that I can wear a different lotion a day & buy only one large body spray. When I buy the bath gels, I keep them in a small shopping bag. I keep the BBW travel size lotions, sprays & gels in a separate storage container than the large-size ones.
YES! I am totally in the same predicament. I don’t even want to make a list, I just review all of my videos 😂. I probably have about 50 now, and I store them in pop up fabric bins that zip closed. When we moved last year, I really saw the extent of my bag collecting. The bins I have spread out in closets, and a few in the garage.
50 bags sound really reasonable to me at this point lol. There is nothing like a home move to make you realize how much stuff you have! I wish you the best in downsizing. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Sis, don't feel guilty for having a collection. I believe that I have an issue with letting go of bags. I cam up with a solution. how many bags i buy i have to give that number of bags away. I gift my bags to those that can't afford nice quality bags. I lett go of bags that i have not carried for years. If I'm no reaching for it then I won’t notice that its gone lol. I'm now on a promise to my husband not to buy anymore bags. If I have the desire to purchase, I just switch bags or/and go into my closet and see the mess i have created. Good luck with your purse journey, this is just another chapter to add to it.
Wonderful suggestions and strategy sis! Shopping my closet and enjoying what I already have. I love that you share with friends and family. That is very generous. And sometimes we do need a visual reminder of what we have. Thank you! I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
Recognizing you have a shopping problem is the best way to start being more intentional with your purchases. It’s so easy to get swept away with all the cute bags that keeps coming out. Once I fall out of love with a bag I always past them along to my mom or sister first, and if they don’t want them or not their style I will sell them. I don’t have that many bags so I store most of them in a drawer or in my closet. The ones I’m wearing more often I display them on top of my clothing rack. If I had to give a number for how many is too many bags I would say over 30? Or when you run out of storage space I guess 😅
You have a wonderful process for maintaining your collection size. 30 is a good number. Not sure if I could do it lol. I'm definitely working on being more intentional. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
😊😊😊Well Lady, I had the same issue with storage, but my daughter moved out, so problem solved. Now I am thoughtful about my purchases, until someone post a video on a recent purchase, not pointing any fingers👆🏾Hey, I always enjoy watching Vloggers mix bags and slg, no purchase necessary 😎
🤣🤣🤣. I'm sure I have contributed to quite a few purchases out there in purse land. I love that you have extra storage space for the things you enjoy but are being more mindful at the same time. As always I enjoy your comments. I appreciate you sis ❤️
You HAVE to sell some. If I fall out of love with a bag. I will either pass on to my daughter or I will sell it. The down side is that I may buy a new bag to replace it 😂 Usually though, I will buy other items such as clothing or decor. My beauty room is too small to keep storing bags though so if I don’t LOVE a bag, I have to sell it. Some of my friends actually approach me on a regular basis to ask me if I want to sell a bag when they see me post a video about it and they know that I don’t carry the bag on a regular basis, so definitely get rid in my opinion! ❤
Thank you for sharing your strategy! I can see it being a struggle to not replace what you've decluttered, sending you back to square one. I'm really going to focus on keeping what I love and work my way from there. I appreciate you watching and sharing 💗💕💗
Yep I get it! At one point my sister told me my storage room looked like a handbag showroom. Most of those bags I didn't even use. I have since downsized (although I recently realized I have more than I thought). I am not in a purge stage at the moment (still have a few handbags I want to purchase) but plan on reevaluating what I have around the fall (which is usually when I start feeling overwhelmed). This was such an incredible video and I appreciate your transparency.
Thank you so much! I think I get the urge to purge around spring with spring cleaning. I really am going to be more conscious the rest of this year and be more intentional. I'm so glad you understand!! I appreciate you watching and sharing 💗
Heyyyy @MomAmbition! Girrrllll you are speaking to the choirrrrr...😂😂😂 I have accumulatedba lot of bags sonce watching you all on YT. However, I Love Baggggsss...❤❤❤ They make me feel good and I Love dressing them...💯💯💯 Now, I've learned not to buy bags that do not fit ME. I pay close attention to size and even color. With that stance, I only buy bags that I Love to wear. I switch out my bags according to the season. Currently, I store my bags in Totes. I have a few Hefty Totes too...😂😂😂 I hear you when tou say your room looks like a Bath & Body Works store. MINES TOO...😫😫😫 I Love fragrances and smelling Good. I will shop for a nice scent always. When it gets to be overwhelming, I give them to my Nieces and Cousins. I truly enjoyed this discussion MomAmbition...❤❤❤ Thank You Sooo Much for sharing...🥰🥰🥰
Sis you understand my struggle! I am definitely preaching to the choir! We love smelling good and looking good, but have to cut back sometime. I'm definitely skipping bags that don't fit me. I appreciate you watching and sharing ❤️
I also put a few bags in a tub, the bag obsession has exploded since a lot of brands came out with colors. When everything is black brown n navy as to a few yrs ago I didn't buy as much. Now I love colors and it's becoming a problem. As for the bath n body go through them anything you haven't used in 2 yrs get rid of and throw out. If the lotion has a funny smell or if it is liquidity throw it out. Try n rotate the scents when using them
Yes it's the pretty colors for me. My current color obsession is pink. I did really well keeping my BBW purchases to a minimum until 2 years ago. Most of my older products have been decluttered. I'll be working on this current set of products for a while. I am rotating out by scent and season and it does help. Thanks for watching!! 💗💕💗
Great topic! I don’t have a huge collection of purses but it’s healthy and with BBW and I need to stop before I over collect and start hoarding! When I catch a bag that I love that’s normally when I will treat myself but I have to love it.
You're collection sounds perfect! You have variety without it being too large. I agree with stopping now with the BBW. There's a collection out right now that I want, but I'm going to pass on it. Won't even go smell it and tempt myself. I like your approach! TFS 💗
Coming soon! I'm going to get my page updated with the JC pieces and share on my community page. My poshmark is momambition413, same as my IG. TFW Amy!!! Enjoy your weekend ❤️.
I sell and give away many of my bags. I definitely understand. I have really slacked off with many bag purchases. However, my family knows exactly what I like and give a bag to me. Did you see the leather city totes? I shut my computer😂😂😂😂. Any juicy bags in my collection are up for sale as well. I have shoulder totes on coat racks and 2 book cases. Loved the video. You look gorgeous sis. Tfs. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you sis! Sounds like you are in a good space collection wise. Cutting back in a few areas and keeping what makes you happy. I'll get here soon. TFS 💗
I haven’t gotten rid of any bags in a very very long time. I used to be good about getting rid of bags as I bring them in. I am going to do better though and start back getting rid of bags that I’m not using or loving anymore. Awesome topic and good luck. TFS🤗
Great video sis I have since gotten of the JC bang wagon 😂 thank goodness 😂 every time my daughter comes in my room she be counting my bags ie the ones that’s visible 😂😂 and threatens to sell them bc in her eyes I have too many 😢I tell her just like how she loves sneakers I love bags 😂😂😂
Girl it be your own kids. My oldest does that to me too. I'm definitely off the JC bandwagon but I love seeing the videos. I appreciate you watching sis 💗
Omg girl I have the same problem 😓. Unfortunately I live in an apartment that doesn’t have much storage so I had to rent a storage unit just for my handbags. I have them stored in plastic storage boxes 🤷🏻♀️…. I have them organized by either color or brand.
Oh wow friend! I know that makes rotating bags a bit challenging. I'm from LA too, so I totally get it. Are you looking to downsize? I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
@@momambition it does make it harder and I hate it 😩. As far as downsizing idk lol I mean I should and probably need to but I don’t think I’m ready yet lol 🤷🏻♀️. Just being honest.
That's a great idea! I've been doing this lately. Every bag doesn't have to be new to be seen on our channels. I will be donating and selling soon. TFW ❤️
I have too many bags too, I'm planning to sell my Coach bags because my personal max was 20 Contemporary bags and I have 22. My max number is 30 each day in a month. I try to stay to my Wishlist, I want to get my cost per wear. I have one bookcase and when it's full that is it.
Definitely can relate to the Bath and Body Works. I fixed that about 2 years ago and I’ve done good with that. My bags are so much fun!! I think how I control the bags I have by dedicating a certain amount of space for them. If a new bag won’t fit, it can’t come or something else has to go. I have quite a few bags in my collection and some still with tags. I started downsizing last year. I started with Juicy Couture and donated to various churches and gave to my nieces. Some I gave away. I originally thought I needed to make room to save for luxury brands but I’m truly a COACH girl. Give me some COACH retail, sneakers and TB sandals 🎯 I’ve honestly came to terms with just like any other hobby you have to set rules and guidelines for yourself. I’m still downsizing but it’s been a fun process because it’s been gradual and not so much a big issue. It feels good to look back and see who’s still standing! I know this topic has been on your radar for quite some time. I believe you’ll find that perfect mix just for you. For now, keep taking those baby steps until you reach your final goal. I agree we don’t need it all, but it’s also good to do it with moderation. Great video!!
Sis I love your approach! I watched your video on your handbag rules and learned so much about you. I'm so happy for everyone who has a dedicated room for their bags. I'm committed to making the best use of my current space. And will definitely be more selective going forward. Or following the bag in/bag out rule. Thank you for sharing. I'll be back to comment on your bag rules video later! 💗💕💗
Michael Kors are having great sales. I kind of went a little crazy as well. I stopped buying the totes because when I was shopping or if I had to bend down they were getting in the way. Then I moved to backpacks which I only had 5 maybe in the past 4 yrs? I feel your pain. Mine exploded to almost 30 bags. What I decided to do fir bags and the shies went to The Container Store and purchased 3 ottomans and it it does help the backpacks and shoes. You van also put it in the closet or in front of the bec
Oh I try to stay off of the Michael Kors website because the sales have been too good and I was about to buy too much. Great stoage suggestions especially the ottomans. I haven't been to the container store in years! I appreciate you sharing ❤️
Amazing Video @J.Brown💖 Love that you have self awareness of your weakness and are taking steps to declutter your space. 😊Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend.😊💖
Definitely go through and pass down or sell what you are using. Some bags we don't love and don't carry so it just sits... Been there before. You will find a solution that works for you. Storage space grows as the collection grows lol. The struggle is real.
I actually pay for storage. 😩 I have too many things period. I will be going through things soon. I diid donate a few bags last year that I wish I would have kept. But You are so right! TFS! 💕
Ooh see that is my worry about downsizing. I legit think there will always be a sense of regret in this process. I wish you the best in the process. Thanks for sharing ❤️.
You will be fine. It still has to be done. The ones you second guess just keep a longer before you let go of them. I only regret getting rid of around 4 bags.
Why did you mention the all leather city tote. I said no more purses but of course add to cart. Lol. But I have not purchased- yet 😂😂. Especially since I also have no more storage!! 🤦🏽♀️. Thanks for sharing our truth. Lol
😆😆😆 My bad! I had to mention that city tote. It's been living rent free in my head for weeks!!! I'm so glad I'm not alone in the struggle! Thanks for watching 💗💕💗
You can store smaller bags inside your totes. You can also store smaller SLGs and accessories that match the bag inside it. I have a huge fabric tote on my top shelf of my closet that I store some bags in, and the smaller ones are inside the larger ones. I display my favorites in my shelves where I can see them. If it doesn't make me happy and if I find myself passing it up because I've carried it so much I'm sick of it, it goes. If it truly makes me happy, I keep it. I try not to buy bags just for a video. I choose what I LOVE, not what I think everyone else will love.
Thanks for the tops Kessia! I'm definitely sticking to what I love going forward and being more conscious of what I buy. I appreciate you sharing and watching ❤️
Hey friend!! Catching up on a lot of older videos that’s been in my saves for awhile lol and yes sis you got a problem 😂 it’s a good problem to have but seriously sis I get. We definitely tend to over buy.
I've accepted that fact sis lol. I'm trying to better now and be more selective about what I purchase. I definitely cut alll the way back on BBW. TFW ❤️
Wow 3 walk in closets full of bags? 😮 thats an INCREDIBLE collection! As impressive as that is, i can see how that could be overwhelming and why you downsized. I have about 100 (give or take) and i know i am not using most and have sold some.
Oh no I didn't have 3 closets full, but still a lot. I love my collection but definitely am ready to downsize. Did you find it difficult to let go? Thanks for sharing ❤️
@momambition hey girl I'm sorry I was replying to @angellechic comment about her extreme downsizing. I really like your collection because of your variety. I need to let go of some duplicates so I can add different pieces. Please keep us updated on what pieces you're letting go and your organization. Thank you for sharing with us ❤️
The struggle of combating consumerism is real! 😵💫 It uses money & space. Good luck downsizing 🤗 I keep my bags in the basement I don’t have anyplace else to keep them.
So true! Money and a lot of space for sure. You don't realize how bad it can be until you are caught up! The basement is a good location. We don't have those in my state typically, but I would definitely utilize that space if it was available. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
Oh yes all of my JC backpacks are on the chopping block! The entire collection is lol. Some of the backpacks are new with tags. I'll work on doing a video. Appreciate you watching ❤️
We just moved from a 4 bedroom with Basement home so I’m going from a lot of space to 2 bedroom. 😟 currently I have 54 bags in total. I’m not proud of it and have gotten rid of some, but then get them right back. Ugh what’s wrong with me! 😂 with my totes I use those to put smaller bags in.
Downsizing your home is hard especially when you have a lot of stuff. Girl you are a normal purse lover. That is our struggle lol. I wish you the best in storing your bags especially after you move. Thanks for sharing ❤️
About 15 years! I did do a major declutter during the pandemic and reduced my collection by 15-20 bags. Most of what is shown on camera has been purchased since starting my channel. Great question ❤️
I’m late to the party, but if you get emails from your purse and BBWs triggers, unsubscribe for a while. It is much harder when your inbox is full of marketing emails. My first time watching you. I have to say you are so pretty and your skin is beautiful.
Aww thank you so much for the sweet compliment! Great advice and one of my purse sisters recommended the exact same thing. Unsubcribe from emails. I definitely did that for texts. Luckily the emails all go unto a separate folder from my inbox so it isn't as bad. I appreciate you watching and the recommendation. I'll definitely be doing that next. Have a great evening ❤️
Great Content Sis! When my Husband purchased my Kallax from Ikea all of my Anxiety about my bags disappeared 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I was able to store most my bags in one Room! A bedroom is cleared just for my bags. I'm still working on it! But it was a relief. I've only purchased 3 bags so far this year but i also sold 3 bags. That's Great for me. I'm so thankful that I didn't jump on that Juicy trend lol I've been resisting the sales for most part trying to focus on my wishlist only. I will share pictures with you on Instagram. Tfs❤ and Good luck
Thank you for the pictures! Your storage solution is really beautiful! May I also suggest recording in that room using natural light if possible? All I could think was how amazing your lighting was in there. Back on topic, having a cluttered environment is giving me anxiety! I'm going to keep working on it. Congratulations on only purchasing 3 bags! That's really awesome. Appreciate you watching!!!
@momambition Thank you Sis! Oh That's the plan for me to Record there. Waiting on my desk lol Yes that anxiety is real 😫 I can't wait to see your progress.
I am currently downsizing my bags and makeup bags. I was just saying a few weeks ago I had started a strict finance plan for myself and recently I was looking at all my bags, makeup bags and other items I haven’t used/worn or really loved anymore and decided I would probably sell them on either EBay or Poshmark and put toward my financial goals/Emergency fund /pay off debt. I am only keeping the items I really and I love with!❤❤❤ I have also missed the majority of the Bath & Bodyworks sales for the past few weeks as I really don’t need much more, my daughter said it looks like ULTA in my bedroom so I figured I had better pair down a bit. I do give away my Bath & Bodyworks from time To time I make Self care baskets for people going through mental health/health issues just to cheer them up so I do get to give a few away too which is good but I am still cutting back.🫶🫶🥰❤️🥰 I didn’t know you had a Poshmark Sis!! When I get to treat myself I will definitely check it out! ❤ Great video! Thanks for being so transparent and honest ❤
You understand my struggle!! I really will be trying to sell and gift a lot of things very soon. And being more realistic about this BBW collection I've accumulated. There are new scents out right now that I want but definitely don't need. I sincerely appreciate you watching and sharing. And not judging! Enjoy your weekend beautiful lady ❤️❤️❤️
@@momambition no judgement here Sis!! I am in the same boat! It’s so easy to satisfy a dopamine fix with a new bag/lotion or whatever it is. The good thing is we acknowledge it and are doing something about it ❤️❤️❤️🥰🫶🥰🫶 Thanks and you too beautiful!! Your skin is GLOWING in the video! 🥰
I sold or donated most of the bags that I wasn't using or knew I would never carry. At one point, I had 3 walk-in closets full of bags🤯. I'm down to one closet and my shelves in my filming area. I thought that I would feel regret after selling my bags, but no, it's actually freeing.🩷
I look forward to experiencing that feeling!!! Down from 3 closets is amazing sis. I'm going to start making some tough decisions over here. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
it’s so important to reflect and recognise that as much as we love bags as a community, are we fuelling overconsumption and excess purchases in the name of having the latest release? i’m glad you continued this conversation. no one should have to get themselves into financial trouble or storage trouble just to fit into the community. we can still be a bag lover and have a small collection, and we can have bag collections of any size, do WIMB videos, and we shouldn’t feel like we’re not a proper bag collector/ lover. and obviously, people’s money are theirs to do with what they will, but i just don’t want people thinking they have to excessively spend on bags they don’t even use just to feel included in this space. much love ❤
This comment is everything! Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. 💯💯💯
I am where you are and I had to ask myself, "when is enough, enough?" I have a 12 cube shelf with storage cubes housing my SLGs. I have 2 5-shelf book cases, 1 extra wide 9-cube storage shelf and 1 extra wide 12 cube storage shelf that will fit the tote bags with no problems. I use the tops of the book cases and shelves too, plus I have storage drawers for all the bags charms and pouches. I find myself being disappointed when I think about all the money I've spent and how it could have been better purposed elsewhere. I keep reminding myself that no bag looks or feels as good as debt-free does! I need to get my life together real quick. Fix it Jesus, fix it.🙏

This video is right on time for me. I live in a 4 bedroom house and my bags are suppose to be in one if my extra bedroom..Lol . But instead in my master bedroom I have 3 shelves in the room and you can at least put 20 bags on the shelf. I also have bags on my bed, in my bedroom closet. And I have ran out of space. I have decided as of right now to carry by bags and see what works for me and what doesn’t. And ones that doesn’t I will be selling them. My friend sadly to say I know I need to stop purchasing but I have a love for bags. And purchasing something I love makes me happy. I understand the struggle but I don’t have no solution because I know I need to stop purchasing also. All I’m saying you’re not by yourself it is so hard .And is so many of us is going through the same struggle purchasing the things we love that makes us happy. Tfs😊❤
Yes start carrying bags and eliminating what truly doesn't work for you. Sadly we can't keep them all and definitely don't have the space for everything. I don't what is going to be harder, buying less or downsizing. Wishing you the best. Thanks for sharing ❤️.
Hi Beautiful… ugh and big sigh😔 You are right on time with this video. I am currently on a break from YT mainly because I had to deal with my bags. I’m embarrassed to say that I’m in a 5 bedroom house and 3 bedrooms are FILLED with my bags! Bags on king size beds, bags on shelves, bags in closets.. I can’t do this anymore! I have made the decision to downsize/donate/& sell some of my bags and take my chances on having regrets and separation anxiety of giving away bags. For me, the only storage solution is to downsize. Best to you on your journey of finding storage solutions ❤
You are among folks who understand Auntie! I wish all the best in downsizing. It's so hard especially when you really like your items. I can only imagine the process you are going through right now. I sincerely feel overwhelmed too. Thank you for sharing and love that this was a safe space for you to do so. TFW ❤️. Happy Easter!
Woo woo woo Chile woo the TH-cam bag influencers are real and addicting. I have bags at home in Wisconsin and here in Arizona, and I’m out of control. All of my bags in Arizona are in dust bags because the dust is really bad. I’m working on storage solutions here in Arizona, but for the most part they all fit in a few closets. I’m gonna sell most of my juicy couture collection this summer as I like a few but not in love. I do store a lot of totes inside of each other and multiples in dust bags. I have a plastic storage drawer for my slg’s. I sold a few things that I really love and have total regret. Yes, sis I’m out of control over here too! I’m glad you got it off your chest, happy shopping! 😂💕👸🏽🫰🏾💃🏽💵
Yes us influencers are definitely doing our jobs!! Great storage suggestions. I'm going to start listing bags very soon. Do you ever lose track of bags between the 2 homes? Your "So nice I bought it twice" video makes even more sense now lol. TFS 💗
@@momambition I definitely miss my bags from Wisconsin. I try to bring some bags back to Arizona every time I go or exchange some. I have intentions of giving some of my duplicates away as gifts, like fundraising at my family reunion or to my sisters for their birthdays or my subscribers too. I may sell some of my duplicates this year when I go back to Wisconsin for the summer. Happy Easter! 🐣
@@RobinCookie I love that you are planning many as gifts. So sweet 💗💕💗
I live in a 4 bedroom house all alone, so storage for me isn't an issue. I think handbags are like diamonds. You can never have enough 😜
I love this!!! Collect to your heart's content sis! If you have the space and are happy then why not?! TFW ❤️
@@momambition you're welcome 😊
I know that’s right! The more the merrier!! ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️
@@ghwright2551 lol exactly!
@@Jploveslv .. lol 😂
My mother saw my collection & asked me if I have a problem 😂😂🥴🥴
I need a bag addiction support group
Girl to folks outside the bag community we all look and sound crazy 🤣🤣🤣. I think you have found your support group here. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
I took a two year break from buying bath and body works. I just used my last hand soap but still have a few candles. I’m only buying bath and body as a one out one in thing. I’m also on a pen and notebook book ban. I’m decluttering other areas like dishes and clothes. Bags and accessories are my weakness. I have a room dedicated to those but I’ve overflowed my shelves and refuse to buy another. 😂 It is so messy right now, you’d only see a photo on eye witness news if I’m buried alive by them. 😁😂😁 You are doing well to make decisions about what doesn’t work for you. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
I love that so many of you ladies have rooms for your bags! That's also a setup for doing too much. It sounds like we are a all working on finding a balance. I love pens and notebooks too and only tend to slip up during back to school season on those items 🤣🤣. I have so much BBW that it may take several years to work through it all....if I don't start giving stuff away. Suz, I appreciate you watching and understanding!!!
I sold/donated close to 40 bags at the end of last year. I felt overwhelmed and needed to downsize. Much like you, I plan to just enjoy the bags in my collection and only buy what’s on my wishlist, which at the moment consists of three bags.
Wow that's amazing! I applaud your determination to downsize and stick with it. It is very overwhelming to have too much of anything. Thank you for sharing! TFW ❤️
I closed down one of my bedrooms and put in racks to store my bags! I love it and put a lock on the door 🤣
Yes mam lock up your valuables!!! I love that you are able to have a room for what you enjoy. TFW ❤️
I was close to 50 bags a couple of months ago, and just little by little started letting go of the ones I wasn’t in love with. For me, if a bag sits too long without enough use, it’s getting the boot! Downsizing can really help when feeling overwhelmed, but after that it’s really about being intentional on what bags you bring in.
I think once you part with some of your bags, you’ll be fine and you’ll find more joy in the ones you choose to keep.
Yes I noticed that you are able to quickly make decisions about bags and how it fits into your collection and lifestyle! I love that about you. You are very intentional and its easy to pick up on in your content. But honestly I just love your aesthetic and style in general. You are goals sis. Appreciate the words of encouragement. ❤️
@@momambition Aw, thank you sis! Best of luck as you navigate through your collection. You’ve got this! ❤️
Recognizing that you have a shopping problem is big. I have to applaud you for that. I try to keep my bags under 20. Anything more than that makes me feel anxious and guilty. ❤
Whew!!! Under 20? That's really good. I think it's definitely doable with a luxury collection. It's the contemporary bags that cause most us to go down a slippery slope lol. Thank you for watching ❤️
I have to many as well and my anxiety is on 1000! I know I need to downsize or something but I can't find items that I'm willing to part with and won't regret. And when I finally do, I buy something else 😔. I waiting for Ikea to restock a shelf I need to out in my room, but I already know it won't be enough. I have over 200 handbags and accessories. So I know I need to sit my assets down.
Sit your assests down 🤣🤣🤣. Too funny. Wow over 200. I'm trying to stop before I get there. It's really easy to do. I hope you are able to let go of enough items to ease the anxiety and still love what you have. Thanks for sharing 💗
This so relatable. I try not to buy so much B&BW.. Those items do expire.. in my POV.. The scent definitely smells different after a certain period passes. For storage: I Fold those city totes that’s just me. They’re canvas anyways so they’ll be ok.. I’ve done that with my canvas LV Neverfull since 2008 and it’s still looks good.. so I told myself why not fold the Coach Canvas City Totes. I also need to start one of those Poshmarks too.. to sell to make room.. but it’s a whole process for me to eliminate bags since I love my bags 😅😅 I congratulate you in advance for doing so. When the Hype kicks in I usually start shopping my closet and what I have.. Purse storage I fold anything foldable if possible… I slowed down on the SLGs for sure.. so many shades of every color I cannot keep up with them.. Unless I i really like it I will let time pass to see if it’s a dopamine kicking in or I truly love it and to see if i have nothing similar.. When is it enough… I try to go back how I was before I started this channel.. Remembering buying SLGs when my old one is breaking down.. When I loose interest of the bag.. and finding out I only bought it due to they hype at the time….Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤
You know I was just thinking about folding my city totes the other day. That would save a ton of space! Yes choose a sales platform that works best for you. I may also start a Mercari as well. Meanwhile I'm going to try and avoid the hype and will be taking a mini break from shopping to get my life together 😆😆😆. I'm so glad you understand. I love your collection. TFS 💗.
I use storage container to store my purses as well as foldable clothes. I have two smaller container that I store coordinating wallets in. I got rid of Dooney & Burke purses that were from the 2005 leather collection except 1 that I kept for nostalgic purposes for the leather faded.
As for Bath & Body Works, I only buy enough that I can wear a different lotion a day & buy only one large body spray. When I buy the bath gels, I keep them in a small shopping bag. I keep the BBW travel size lotions, sprays & gels in a separate storage container than the large-size ones.
YES! I am totally in the same predicament. I don’t even want to make a list, I just review all of my videos 😂. I probably have about 50 now, and I store them in pop up fabric bins that zip closed. When we moved last year, I really saw the extent of my bag collecting. The bins I have spread out in closets, and a few in the garage.
50 bags sound really reasonable to me at this point lol. There is nothing like a home move to make you realize how much stuff you have! I wish you the best in downsizing. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Sis, don't feel guilty for having a collection. I believe that I have an issue with letting go of bags. I cam up with a solution. how many bags i buy i have to give that number of bags away. I gift my bags to those that can't afford nice quality bags. I lett go of bags that i have not carried for years. If I'm no reaching for it then I won’t notice that its gone lol. I'm now on a promise to my husband not to buy anymore bags. If I have the desire to purchase, I just switch bags or/and go into my closet and see the mess i have created. Good luck with your purse journey, this is just another chapter to add to it.
Wonderful suggestions and strategy sis! Shopping my closet and enjoying what I already have. I love that you share with friends and family. That is very generous. And sometimes we do need a visual reminder of what we have. Thank you! I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
Recognizing you have a shopping problem is the best way to start being more intentional with your purchases. It’s so easy to get swept away with all the cute bags that keeps coming out. Once I fall out of love with a bag I always past them along to my mom or sister first, and if they don’t want them or not their style I will sell them. I don’t have that many bags so I store most of them in a drawer or in my closet. The ones I’m wearing more often I display them on top of my clothing rack.
If I had to give a number for how many is too many bags I would say over 30? Or when you run out of storage space I guess 😅
You have a wonderful process for maintaining your collection size. 30 is a good number. Not sure if I could do it lol. I'm definitely working on being more intentional. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
Thank you so much for this video and being real! You just helped me think clearer!❤
I'm so glad! I appreciate you watching ❤️
Ahahahahahaa!! Your mom tried it!! The fact that you're acknowledging the overload is the path to downsizing. Good luck. 💗
She really did! That's my momma and I love her!! ❤️ 🤣
😊😊😊Well Lady, I had the same issue with storage, but my daughter moved out, so problem solved. Now I am thoughtful about my purchases, until someone post a video on a recent purchase, not pointing any fingers👆🏾Hey, I always enjoy watching Vloggers mix bags and slg, no purchase necessary 😎
🤣🤣🤣. I'm sure I have contributed to quite a few purchases out there in purse land. I love that you have extra storage space for the things you enjoy but are being more mindful at the same time. As always I enjoy your comments. I appreciate you sis ❤️
You HAVE to sell some. If I fall out of love with a bag. I will either pass on to my daughter or I will sell it. The down side is that I may buy a new bag to replace it 😂 Usually though, I will buy other items such as clothing or decor. My beauty room is too small to keep storing bags though so if I don’t LOVE a bag, I have to sell it. Some of my friends actually approach me on a regular basis to ask me if I want to sell a bag when they see me post a video about it and they know that I don’t carry the bag on a regular basis, so definitely get rid in my opinion! ❤
Good strategy
Thank you for sharing your strategy! I can see it being a struggle to not replace what you've decluttered, sending you back to square one. I'm really going to focus on keeping what I love and work my way from there. I appreciate you watching and sharing 💗💕💗
@@momambition you’re welcome 🩷
I have one city tote in sport purple 💜but I try to sell bags now and then. Handbags are my only weakness and I don’t feel bad about that. 😊❤
That sport purple city tote is the only one you need! You have a very balanced approach to your collection. I love it! I appreciate you watching ❤️.
Yep I get it! At one point my sister told me my storage room looked like a handbag showroom. Most of those bags I didn't even use. I have since downsized (although I recently realized I have more than I thought). I am not in a purge stage at the moment (still have a few handbags I want to purchase) but plan on reevaluating what I have around the fall (which is usually when I start feeling overwhelmed). This was such an incredible video and I appreciate your transparency.
Thank you so much! I think I get the urge to purge around spring with spring cleaning. I really am going to be more conscious the rest of this year and be more intentional. I'm so glad you understand!! I appreciate you watching and sharing 💗
Heyyyy @MomAmbition!
Girrrllll you are speaking to the choirrrrr...😂😂😂
I have accumulatedba lot of bags sonce watching you all on YT. However, I Love Baggggsss...❤❤❤
They make me feel good and I Love dressing them...💯💯💯
Now, I've learned not to buy bags that do not fit ME.
I pay close attention to size and even color.
With that stance, I only buy bags that I Love to wear.
I switch out my bags according to the season. Currently, I store my bags in Totes. I have a few Hefty Totes too...😂😂😂
I hear you when tou say your room looks like a Bath & Body Works store. MINES TOO...😫😫😫
I Love fragrances and smelling Good. I will shop for a nice scent always. When it gets to be overwhelming, I give them to my Nieces and Cousins.
I truly enjoyed this discussion MomAmbition...❤❤❤
Thank You Sooo Much for sharing...🥰🥰🥰
Sis you understand my struggle! I am definitely preaching to the choir! We love smelling good and looking good, but have to cut back sometime. I'm definitely skipping bags that don't fit me. I appreciate you watching and sharing ❤️
I also put a few bags in a tub, the bag obsession has exploded since a lot of brands came out with colors. When everything is black brown n navy as to a few yrs ago I didn't buy as much. Now I love colors and it's becoming a problem. As for the bath n body go through them anything you haven't used in 2 yrs get rid of and throw out. If the lotion has a funny smell or if it is liquidity throw it out. Try n rotate the scents when using them
Yes it's the pretty colors for me. My current color obsession is pink. I did really well keeping my BBW purchases to a minimum until 2 years ago. Most of my older products have been decluttered. I'll be working on this current set of products for a while. I am rotating out by scent and season and it does help. Thanks for watching!! 💗💕💗
Great topic! I don’t have a huge collection of purses but it’s healthy and with BBW and I need to stop before I over collect and start hoarding! When I catch a bag that I love that’s normally when I will treat myself but I have to love it.
You're collection sounds perfect! You have variety without it being too large. I agree with stopping now with the BBW. There's a collection out right now that I want, but I'm going to pass on it. Won't even go smell it and tempt myself. I like your approach! TFS 💗
I’m currently out of space and I just ordered another bag, I have no idea where I will put it and it’s a big one! 😭
Girl those totes take up space!!! I love em, but sheesh. Appreciate you watching ❤️.
I am away to excited to see all your Juicy Couture. May I ask how I can find you on Poshmark?? Thank you 😊
Coming soon! I'm going to get my page updated with the JC pieces and share on my community page. My poshmark is momambition413, same as my IG. TFW Amy!!! Enjoy your weekend ❤️.
I sell and give away many of my bags. I definitely understand. I have really slacked off with many bag purchases. However, my family knows exactly what I like and give a bag to me. Did you see the leather city totes? I shut my computer😂😂😂😂. Any juicy bags in my collection are up for sale as well. I have shoulder totes on coat racks and 2 book cases. Loved the video. You look gorgeous sis. Tfs. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you sis! Sounds like you are in a good space collection wise. Cutting back in a few areas and keeping what makes you happy. I'll get here soon. TFS 💗
I haven’t gotten rid of any bags in a very very long time. I used to be good about getting rid of bags as I bring them in. I am going to do better though and start back getting rid of bags that I’m not using or loving anymore. Awesome topic and good luck. TFS🤗
I'm surprised to hear you say that! Thank you so much. I'm sure you won't have any problems getting rid of the things you no longer love. TFS 💗
Very good video! I understand what you were saying. I pretty much cherry pick now. So many bags! Thank you for sharing! 👜
So glad you understand. Being more selective is difficult at times. I appreciate you watching ❤️.
Thank you so much for this video, I have been so frustrated lately with my purse storage.
Glad it was helpful! I think it's a process for us all. I hope you are able to find a solution that works. Appreciate you watching ❤️.
Great video sis I have since gotten of the JC bang wagon 😂 thank goodness 😂 every time my daughter comes in my room she be counting my bags ie the ones that’s visible 😂😂 and threatens to sell them bc in her eyes I have too many 😢I tell her just like how she loves sneakers I love bags 😂😂😂
Girl it be your own kids. My oldest does that to me too. I'm definitely off the JC bandwagon but I love seeing the videos. I appreciate you watching sis 💗
It has to be fun to shop in your own boutique 😊
Definitely!! Not going to lie, I do enjoy it. It's all fun and games until its time to clean up or declutter. I appreciate you watching ❤️.
Omg girl I have the same problem 😓. Unfortunately I live in an apartment that doesn’t have much storage so I had to rent a storage unit just for my handbags. I have them stored in plastic storage boxes 🤷🏻♀️…. I have them organized by either color or brand.
Oh wow friend! I know that makes rotating bags a bit challenging. I'm from LA too, so I totally get it. Are you looking to downsize? I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
@@momambition it does make it harder and I hate it 😩. As far as downsizing idk lol I mean I should and probably need to but I don’t think I’m ready yet lol 🤷🏻♀️. Just being honest.
@sassyviri8640 I understand!! You will do it when you are ready. If you still love your items, no need to let go. Enjoy your collection!!!
I would love to see your bags. 💕👛💕
I will definitely work on that. I appreciate you watching ❤️
@@momambition You’re Welcome 💕
Also pink looks really good on you 💕👍
Thank you so much!! 💗💕💗
We need to re use and do video in older bags updated ones . I have gifted bags to family donated to good will and sold some .
That's a great idea! I've been doing this lately. Every bag doesn't have to be new to be seen on our channels. I will be donating and selling soon. TFW ❤️
I have too many bags too, I'm planning to sell my Coach bags because my personal max was 20 Contemporary bags and I have 22. My max number is 30 each day in a month. I try to stay to my Wishlist, I want to get my cost per wear. I have one bookcase and when it's full that is it.
Ooh 30 total? I know I couldn't do it. I admire your resolve. I also need to cut back on contemporary purchases. TFW ❤️
Love your transparency! 😊
Thank you!! 😊 Just a few things for you to consider as you grow your platform. Appreciate you watching ❤️
Definitely can relate to the Bath and Body Works. I fixed that about 2 years ago and I’ve done good with that. My bags are so much fun!! I think how I control the bags I have by dedicating a certain amount of space for them. If a new bag won’t fit, it can’t come or something else has to go. I have quite a few bags in my collection and some still with tags. I started downsizing last year. I started with Juicy Couture and donated to various churches and gave to my nieces. Some I gave away. I originally thought I needed to make room to save for luxury brands but I’m truly a COACH girl. Give me some COACH retail, sneakers and TB sandals 🎯 I’ve honestly came to terms with just like any other hobby you have to set rules and guidelines for yourself. I’m still downsizing but it’s been a fun process because it’s been gradual and not so much a big issue. It feels good to look back and see who’s still standing! I know this topic has been on your radar for quite some time. I believe you’ll find that perfect mix just for you. For now, keep taking those baby steps until you reach your final goal. I agree we don’t need it all, but it’s also good to do it with moderation. Great video!!
Sis I love your approach! I watched your video on your handbag rules and learned so much about you. I'm so happy for everyone who has a dedicated room for their bags. I'm committed to making the best use of my current space. And will definitely be more selective going forward. Or following the bag in/bag out rule. Thank you for sharing. I'll be back to comment on your bag rules video later! 💗💕💗
What had happen was 😂. I love bags too!! Thanks for sharing ❤
😆😆😆 You understand the struggle! I appreciate you watching ❤️
Michael Kors are having great sales. I kind of went a little crazy as well. I stopped buying the totes because when I was shopping or if I had to bend down they were getting in the way. Then I moved to backpacks which I only had 5 maybe in the past 4 yrs? I feel your pain. Mine exploded to almost 30 bags. What I decided to do fir bags and the shies went to The Container Store and purchased 3 ottomans and it it does help the backpacks and shoes. You van also put it in the closet or in front of the bec
Oh I try to stay off of the Michael Kors website because the sales have been too good and I was about to buy too much. Great stoage suggestions especially the ottomans. I haven't been to the container store in years! I appreciate you sharing ❤️
Amazing Video @J.Brown💖 Love that you have self awareness of your weakness and are taking steps to declutter your space. 😊Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend.😊💖
Dawn!! Hey sis! I really am working on it. I appreciate you watching. Enjoy your weekend ❤️.
Definitely go through and pass down or sell what you are using. Some bags we don't love and don't carry so it just sits... Been there before. You will find a solution that works for you. Storage space grows as the collection grows lol. The struggle is real.
The struggle is so real! Great tips. I am definitely working on several approaches to clearing out some unused bags. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
I actually pay for storage. 😩 I have too many things period. I will be going through things soon. I diid donate a few bags last year that I wish I would have kept. But You are so right! TFS! 💕
Ooh see that is my worry about downsizing. I legit think there will always be a sense of regret in this process. I wish you the best in the process. Thanks for sharing ❤️.
You will be fine. It still has to be done. The ones you second guess just keep a longer before you let go of them. I only regret getting rid of around 4 bags.
Why did you mention the all leather city tote. I said no more purses but of course add to cart. Lol. But I have not purchased- yet 😂😂. Especially since I also have no more storage!! 🤦🏽♀️. Thanks for sharing our truth. Lol
😆😆😆 My bad! I had to mention that city tote. It's been living rent free in my head for weeks!!! I'm so glad I'm not alone in the struggle! Thanks for watching 💗💕💗
You can store smaller bags inside your totes. You can also store smaller SLGs and accessories that match the bag inside it. I have a huge fabric tote on my top shelf of my closet that I store some bags in, and the smaller ones are inside the larger ones. I display my favorites in my shelves where I can see them. If it doesn't make me happy and if I find myself passing it up because I've carried it so much I'm sick of it, it goes. If it truly makes me happy, I keep it. I try not to buy bags just for a video. I choose what I LOVE, not what I think everyone else will love.
Thanks for the tops Kessia! I'm definitely sticking to what I love going forward and being more conscious of what I buy. I appreciate you sharing and watching ❤️
Hey friend!! Catching up on a lot of older videos that’s been in my saves for awhile lol and yes sis you got a problem 😂 it’s a good problem to have but seriously sis I get. We definitely tend to over buy.
I've accepted that fact sis lol. I'm trying to better now and be more selective about what I purchase. I definitely cut alll the way back on BBW. TFW ❤️
Wow 3 walk in closets full of bags? 😮 thats an INCREDIBLE collection! As impressive as that is, i can see how that could be overwhelming and why you downsized. I have about 100 (give or take) and i know i am not using most and have sold some.
Oh no I didn't have 3 closets full, but still a lot. I love my collection but definitely am ready to downsize. Did you find it difficult to let go? Thanks for sharing ❤️
@momambition hey girl I'm sorry I was replying to @angellechic comment about her extreme downsizing. I really like your collection because of your variety. I need to let go of some duplicates so I can add different pieces. Please keep us updated on what pieces you're letting go and your organization. Thank you for sharing with us ❤️
No worries! I kind of figured that. Thank you so much! I'll definitely keep you all updated as a make changes to my collection. I appreciate you 💗💕💗
The struggle of combating consumerism is real! 😵💫 It uses money & space. Good luck downsizing 🤗 I keep my bags in the basement I don’t have anyplace else to keep them.
So true! Money and a lot of space for sure. You don't realize how bad it can be until you are caught up! The basement is a good location. We don't have those in my state typically, but I would definitely utilize that space if it was available. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
Would love to see a Juicy Coutuee collection/declutter! Let me know if your large JC backpack is on the chopping block, lol. Thanks for sharing!
Oh yes all of my JC backpacks are on the chopping block! The entire collection is lol. Some of the backpacks are new with tags. I'll work on doing a video. Appreciate you watching ❤️
I’m at the Bath & Body part of the video…..😭😭😭😭 Sorry for being an enabler Sis.😫
Lol no worries sis! I'm not buying the new collection as much as I want it. TFW ❤️
Love your thumbnail! Cute! Watching now. I only own 5 totes because I know I won’t use them. 😊

We just moved from a 4 bedroom with Basement home so I’m going from a lot of space to 2 bedroom. 😟 currently I have 54 bags in total. I’m not proud of it and have gotten rid of some, but then get them right back. Ugh what’s wrong with me! 😂 with my totes I use those to put smaller bags in.
Downsizing your home is hard especially when you have a lot of stuff. Girl you are a normal purse lover. That is our struggle lol. I wish you the best in storing your bags especially after you move. Thanks for sharing ❤️
How long have you been growing your purse/accessories collection?
About 15 years! I did do a major declutter during the pandemic and reduced my collection by 15-20 bags. Most of what is shown on camera has been purchased since starting my channel. Great question ❤️
I’m late to the party, but if you get emails from your purse and BBWs triggers, unsubscribe for a while. It is much harder when your inbox is full of marketing emails. My first time watching you. I have to say you are so pretty and your skin is beautiful.
Aww thank you so much for the sweet compliment! Great advice and one of my purse sisters recommended the exact same thing. Unsubcribe from emails. I definitely did that for texts. Luckily the emails all go unto a separate folder from my inbox so it isn't as bad. I appreciate you watching and the recommendation. I'll definitely be doing that next. Have a great evening ❤️
I use book shelves. If you haven't used it, get rid of it
I use bookshelves too. Definitely working on adhering to that rule. TFW ❤️
do you what best for you
Thank you friend! Have a good weekend 💙
Great Content Sis! When my Husband purchased my Kallax from Ikea all of my Anxiety about my bags disappeared 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I was able to store most my bags in one Room! A bedroom is cleared just for my bags. I'm still working on it! But it was a relief. I've only purchased 3 bags so far this year but i also sold 3 bags. That's Great for me. I'm so thankful that I didn't jump on that Juicy trend lol I've been resisting the sales for most part trying to focus on my wishlist only. I will share pictures with you on Instagram. Tfs❤ and Good luck
Thank you for the pictures! Your storage solution is really beautiful! May I also suggest recording in that room using natural light if possible? All I could think was how amazing your lighting was in there. Back on topic, having a cluttered environment is giving me anxiety! I'm going to keep working on it. Congratulations on only purchasing 3 bags! That's really awesome. Appreciate you watching!!!
@momambition Thank you Sis! Oh That's the plan for me to Record there. Waiting on my desk lol Yes that anxiety is real 😫 I can't wait to see your progress.
Oooh I cannot wait for the new content sis
I am currently downsizing my bags and makeup bags. I was just saying a few weeks ago I had started a strict finance plan for myself and recently I was looking at all my bags, makeup bags and other items I haven’t used/worn or really loved anymore and decided I would probably sell them on either EBay or Poshmark and put toward my financial goals/Emergency fund /pay off debt. I am only keeping the items I really and I love with!❤❤❤ I have also missed the majority of the Bath & Bodyworks sales for the past few weeks as I really don’t need much more, my daughter said it looks like ULTA in my bedroom so I figured I had better pair down a bit. I do give away my Bath & Bodyworks from time
To time I make Self care baskets for people going through mental health/health issues just to cheer them up so I do get to give a few away too which is good but I am still cutting back.🫶🫶🥰❤️🥰
I didn’t know you had a Poshmark Sis!! When I get to treat myself I will definitely check it out! ❤ Great video! Thanks for being so transparent and honest ❤
You understand my struggle!! I really will be trying to sell and gift a lot of things very soon. And being more realistic about this BBW collection I've accumulated. There are new scents out right now that I want but definitely don't need. I sincerely appreciate you watching and sharing. And not judging! Enjoy your weekend beautiful lady ❤️❤️❤️
@@momambition no judgement here Sis!! I am in the same boat! It’s so easy to satisfy a dopamine fix with a new bag/lotion or whatever it is. The good thing is we acknowledge it and are doing something about it ❤️❤️❤️🥰🫶🥰🫶 Thanks and you too beautiful!! Your skin is GLOWING in the video! 🥰
@@IAMMARYJ Yes a dopamine fix! That's exactly what it is.
I sold or donated most of the bags that I wasn't using or knew I would never carry. At one point, I had 3 walk-in closets full of bags🤯. I'm down to one closet and my shelves in my filming area. I thought that I would feel regret after selling my bags, but no, it's actually freeing.🩷
I look forward to experiencing that feeling!!! Down from 3 closets is amazing sis. I'm going to start making some tough decisions over here. I appreciate you sharing ❤️.
