What a great idea *purge 25 items in 2025 ! I’m doing it ! I’m also making that soup ! Um YuM ! My very favorite broccoli 🥦 cheddar ! Yes please ! You’re the best Brooke ! We’re snowed in here in Kansas City, Missouri ( so this video came on the perfect day) ( much love 💕 & respect 💕)
I have been purging for a few years now slowly selling on eBay and donating some as well as having two yard sales. I've been collecting antiques and vintage for decades and and letting go finally to enjoy the things I truly love.
I really enjoy your format between thrifting, decor and cooking. It flows naturally and is very relatable. Been working on my freezer clean out and new year declutter therefore this vid was a great incentive to keep going. Best wishes! 💛
❤ Happy New Year Thank you for inspiration to start decluttering 25 items. I double bagged vases made of glass, pottery, and ceramic. All from my "fairy garden" projects that never happened. Porcelain candlestick holders, salt and pepper shakers. Tomorrow, the small bathroom.
- great job Brooke. I'm doing the same thing here in New Jersey, USA although I'm not counting, I'm just editing and it's not as organized as you are. You've stuck to the kitchen and I'm all over my house!
It is so much more satisfying to get it out and out of your sight, even if it’s not in a specific area of your house. I was just doing an account because it was 2025 for no other reason I actually had 34 but I was just doing the kitchen. I just did the bedroom as you know my closet collapsed that was a first one and I got rid of probably 200 pieces of clothing and I haven’t bought a piece of clothing since but this isn’t gonna stop me from going Thrifting lol have a beautiful day. My friend have to keep editing through the year. I guess I appreciate you watching. keep on purging we’ll keep our life pretty princess together.
Love this! 25 things no longer needed moved along to bring happiness to someone else. Thank you for the motivation to clear some stuff out and cook too. Happy New Year!
Good morning Brooke!! That Broccoli soup looked delicious. Have a great day. Always enjoy the videos.. the banana bread is one of the favorites. I like to bake as well..❤
It is a very hot summer out here in South Africa, but your soup made me want to put a pot on!! Looks delicious!! I am busy with my house after the holidays and I will choose 25 things per room, as per your suggestion. Thanx Brooke for this great idee. Keep well and keep warm, loves ❤❤❤
OK, I just did a 25 items declutter. clothing I haven't worn in over a year... And your right. It does make you feel good to get out what you don't need. Oh that soup looked so good!!! Noth9ing beats homemade soup....
Wonderful day to you mama Brooke! Hope you're having a beautiful day today. Thank you for the motivation, I believe we need that sometimes. I am working on decluttering today. ❤
I love the frame you put your grandmother's photo in. Maybe you could take a scrap piece of paper or fabric and make a diy mat/border to give it a more finished look.
Happy New Year Mama! Great idea. I’ve been doing the same thing and it’s a great way to start this new year. Love the soup, just what is needed on a cold winter day. Be well my friend ❤
Morning Brooke 👑🐝 Happy New Year🎉 Thanks for suggesting purging 25 items ..I'm going to do this for every room. Glad you get a little help with the heavy items. See you Wednesday ❤️🩷🏡☕️✨️
Hallo Brooke Nice too se you.That is a good idea,to clear some things.I belive that man have to mutch things,and can give to som chearity. Have a wonderful weekend.😊❤❤
Your videos always inspire me to be better at things like decorating and purging. My lifestyle is so similar to yours so it’s always right up my alley. Loves!
Good Morning Brooke! My daughter is leaving for Canada tomorrow. Further east from your area. It's her first flight and across the border, to boot. She's so excited! And I, of course, am scared to death for her. I just keep telling myself she'll be fine. Great video! I'm making ham & potato soup
Thank you very much. I don’t know what you’re afraid of. Should be fine on the flight. I fly all the time it’s safer than driving just so you know statistically where does she live?
@@mamabrookewe live in Illinois. And I've flown several times & love it! But I think why I'm so worried, is that it's January & the weather can be so unpredictable in both countries. And if anything happens, I have no passport and can't get to her. I know she'll be fine. She's a grown woman. But still
What a great idea, 😅 especially, for that arctic blast that’s headed our way…..I’m already working on it❣️ Another great video and recipe too…..my mouth is watering ….thanks again for the inspiration, Mama Brooke 🥰✨
This is my absolute favorite time to purge, indoor paint, deep cleaning etc…. then I’ll be ready to turn my attention to outdoors! Winters here… but Spring is coming😂😂. Have a great week Brooke💕💕
Hi Brooke! Thank you for sharing your purging 25 of items in 2025! I have so much to purge and never know where to begin! I think this will help me! Broccoli cheddar soup looks delicious!❤
Happy Sunday Brooke! Your soup looks fantastic! My favourite meal anytime of year but especially in the fall and winter, is homemade soup. It not only tastes good but it’s easy, it’s inexpensive and it’s healthy❤️ I will be purging more small things too, but that’s an ongoing (should I say lifelong) project.
Hi Brooke ! I agree good time to declutter those things we never use !! however I have gotten rid of things and later wish I didn't, haha . The soup looks delish , with a slice of fresh bread how yummy!! Stay warm friend. Paula
Cold here in PA, made ground beef soup, mixed vegies, can of diced tomatoes and a jar of homemade tomato juice. My son loves this with a slice of bread. Warms you inside out!!!
That sounds so good! Yeah, we’re a little bit cold here this morning too. I think it’s -3. No snow north of us they got slammed with about 3 feet over the last two days. Hopefully we don’t get it.
Great job Brooke! You just reminded me to get on that! I think everyone can agree we all have things we never use. That soup is one of my faves. Looks delicious! ❤ Yes, super cold out here in Jersey too. I was out last night shopping n it was blistering cold. Winter is in full swing. Stay warm my friend.😊❤❤❤
I have been purging also Brooke ! My daughter is happy as I had bought 3 pairs of the same kind of slacks & one was her size & brand new tops etc ! The house stuff I will donate to Pet Save. I had to talk myself into doing it & I am happy as I needed that push.
Oh my gosh! That’s wonderful. I did that after my closet collapse while it was a force thing lol It’s amazing how much you can find to get rid of! Have a beautiful day I appreciate your time. Take care, my friend.
Good to reach a goal and number to keep the items you don't use and purge them, will try that method. We all need some discipline. Always enjoying my time watching your videos. Staying watchful of more. Thank you Brooke.
Hey Momma B!!! Love you good morning ❤2025❤🎉❤Catching you first thing Sunday cild morning before work. I love purging. It can be duanting sometimes to part with "things" but once you get started, it like no stopping me😂😂😂 You did good. LOVE LOVE LOVES 🥰🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘
Hi Brooke. That soup looks so good. You inspire me to get motivated. At 75 and 49 yrs in this house, so much stuff I don't need.I did start pulling items to go so I guess it's in progress . Started out the new year in quick care for sinusitis, ear infections and bilateral pink eye. Mending slowly. Have a great day.
Perfect! Feel so good when it’s done I got up to 33 or 34. I did the bedroom when my closet collapse so I’m good there but I’m sure I can do some in the bathroom too.
Happy Sunday, Brooke. Your topic for the video today is very clever. Perfect activities for a cold day. If you aren't a fan of winter that's how you get through it. Homemade soup is my plan for the week too. Thanks for jump starting my Sunday.
I’m planning to sell my house and move back into the city, so I need to do some serious purging. I should probably do 25 things each week! Your soup looks yummy. I’ve got a pot of pea soup simmering on the stove now. It’s perfect soup weather in Ontario. 😊
It always feels so good to get rid of those things cluttering up the house. I decluttered my Christmas items. Broccoli cheese soup is one of my favorites. I am going to have to make some this week.
I love 25 things to leave your home and purge for the new year, and I am going to copy. Made myself some homemade chili with pork and beef meatballs broken up that will last me a few days. Tomorrow, I am cleaning out my refrigerator. And will probably make soup like you did. Enjoy your week.💙
Miss Brooke, your soup looked fabulous! Wanted to tell you that I love your coffee cup that you always use, so different, I love the pattern and the shape, I have never seen cups like that and I antique shop alot, its a pretty princess 👸
Good evening Mama Brooke. I believe most of us watching your channel have similar tastes or lifestyles, hence the reason we admire your work whatever that may be. I declutter about every two to three weeks and donate for coupons. Lately I’ve decided if I buy an item , one I do not use often has to go. It has happened that I almost bought back my own candlestick…lol. Loves from a freezing Montreal.❤
You inspired me today, Brooke. We purged 50 items. Wasn't really hard to gather up 25 for me & another 25 from my husband. BTW, I love to have a day in the house just decluttering, organizing & purging. Good for the soul!❤
Happy New Year!!!! What an awesome idea you had…. I think that I need to purge 1,025 things in my house… That soup is my granddaughters favourite soup except I use the immersion blender… heaven forbid they see a chunk of broccoli. Enjoy your day… looks cold but hey we have no snow yet… it says in Etobicoke we will have snow for 2 hours.🧿
It was funny to find you purging 25 things for 2025. I started getting rid of things last week, right after Christmas, and I have soooo much accumulated already, just boxes and boxes of things. I heard of the Swedish Death Cleaning (you don't have to be close to being gone), it's just an idea you don't want to leave all that clutter to your loved ones later on, you don't use it, get rid of it! It works for everyone. Happy New Year Brooke!!!!
Oh wow! Up north here got hit with a lot, but Toronto hasn’t got any yet. Hopefully we don’t stay warm and toasty my friend. Keep your life pretty princess at all cost
Happy New Year, Brooke! Thank you, as always, for your inspiration, your drive, the recipes! I am going to make some broccoli soup and do some purging in my closet! Loves from Ohio!
I appreciate that thanks. Happy New Year’s to you too. I don’t have a recipe. I just use what I have in my house and I showed that in the video love have a beautiful day.
I absolutely love to purge especially when I know I’m going to value village. If you haven’t used it, it’s time to get rid of it 😅 Happy New Year Brooke! Loves ❤
Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Oh yum !! I have never made it from scratch so I will do this soon !! My bedroom is brown, black, caramel and creamy white. I love the calmness but really miss color. Any tips to add a small muted color? Drapes are white, bedding is strips of fabrics that are rag quilted with pillowcases that coordinate. Lamps are vintage cream. You are so good at decorating I need help. Stay warm !!!
Yeah, for the spring, you could add a bright colour fringe lonto your lampshades. It doesn’t have to be attached. You could just use a straight pin a beautiful bouquet of flowers. That’s the name of you and it’s removable. Send me a pic to my email then I can actually see. I’m thinking blue brookedraycott4@gmail.com
Good morning Brooke, 60 degrees here in Miami, we are going to work in our garden today perfect weather. I'm watching you lying down drinking my Cuban cafecito and my husband was listening when you said tostones, lol that is his favorite platanos ,he doesn't like the sweet ones, something about that in France you don't mix sweet things with salty food I don't know maybe it's just him. The 25 things I purged were some shoes and clothing ,sometimes I keep things that don't even fit just in case I lose more weight, that's not going to be .I really liked the little knives you donated, i actually need one of those for our house we eat alot cheese here .I love the way you always speak about your daughter, the love that you have for each other is beautiful. We also have only 1 child he's 26 a college student ,he's almost done with college he is getting his Phd in Physical therapy and his girlfriend is getting her masters so soon he will fly the coop,but that's ok while he is happy that's all that matters.Have wonderful week and by the way to the tostones you can make a mojito sauce with sour oranges garlic,salt and I add a bit of olive oil ,that's how we eat them in Cuba.Saludos desdé Miami. ❤
Purging always make you feel good. John and I took a huge load to Goodwill yesterday 😊. Brooke your soup looked so so good. Enjoy your day. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
It's amazing what you can achieve when you set your mind to it. I did my bedroom after the closet collapsed. I haven’t bought a piece of clothing sent and I purged for huge garbage bags out the door and don’t regret any of it.
I just made the same soup not 10 minutes ago! Then I sat down with ☕ to watch you! 😀 I cheat a little bit with Bear Creek soup and add steamed veggies 🥦 🥕 and grated cheese, & serve it with toasted rye bread and butter. Happy New Year, Brooke! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm purging ANY clothes that aren't 💯 comfortable and make me feel super good. I went to Gabe's yesterday and bought 4 pants... One is Calvin Klein black slacks $6.99. The others were all $3.99 each. 😮 And 6 pair of pretty panties for $11.99 because I deserve them! 😅👑 I also went to the thrift store... found a brand new Lands End top with tags still on it. Fits beautiful! 😍 It's a knit cobalt blue v-neck with 3/4 sleeves with little puffed shoulders. 💙 So cute and slimming!
Well, great minds think alike then I didn’t have to purge my clothes because my closet collapsed a couple months ago lol 😂 and I purged hugely then and I haven’t bought a piece of clothing since nor do I need to thanks for watching. Have a beautiful evening.
What a great idea *purge 25 items in 2025 !
I’m doing it !
I’m also making that soup !
Um YuM !
My very favorite broccoli 🥦 cheddar !
Yes please !
You’re the best Brooke !
We’re snowed in here in Kansas City, Missouri ( so this video came on the perfect day)
( much love 💕 & respect 💕)
Great idea to purge the 25 things for 2025. Love your videos and your creativity.
I am so glad you love the videos!
Awesome idea!! It would be great to do this every month!! 25 things every month in '25.
❤❤❤
Yeah, probably could work for some people. I don’t think I could do it every month.
Love purging, watching purging, and thinking about purging. It’s so cathartic. Thanks for another great video. Loves ❤
It really does feel good to get rid of things!
I have been purging for a few years now slowly selling on eBay and donating some as well as having two yard sales. I've been collecting antiques and vintage for decades and and letting go finally to enjoy the things I truly love.
That's amazing! It's so rewarding to downsize and focus on what you cherish.
I really enjoy your format between thrifting, decor and cooking. It flows naturally and is very relatable. Been working on my freezer clean out and new year declutter therefore this vid was a great incentive to keep going. Best wishes! 💛
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the flow of the channel!
You’re always an inspiration 💖

This is my absolute favorite time to purge, indoor paint, deep cleaning etc…. then I’ll be ready to turn my attention to outdoors! Winters here… but Spring is coming😂😂. Have a great week Brooke💕💕
It is the perfect time to start getting ready for spring!

I feel so good when you get it done I probably need to do 150 things more but it’s a start …loves my friend.
❤ enjoy your channel.
Thank you appreciate it
I think we all probably need to declutter our homes. I know i definitely do. Have a wonderful day.🧡
It feels so good to clear out the clutter.
Happy Sunday morning😊
Happy Sunday to you too!
Hi Brooke! Thank you for sharing your purging 25 of items in 2025! I have so much to purge and never know where to begin! I think this will help me! Broccoli cheddar soup looks delicious!❤
You are so welcome!
Your soup looks good. Definitely comfort food season. 🥣 🍲 🥘 Love the hand mixer.
Soup was amazing. Yeah the ham mix is cute, but just don’t need it.
Happy Sunday Brooke! Your soup looks fantastic! My favourite meal anytime of year but especially in the fall and winter, is homemade soup. It not only tastes good but it’s easy, it’s inexpensive and it’s healthy❤️ I will be purging more small things too, but that’s an ongoing (should I say lifelong) project.

Oh, that’s awesome that even purging it feels good after when you’re done it’s just hard to get motivated to do it
Hi Brooke! Well done! A very productive day! Your soup looked absolutely delicious!😋💕💕💕
I am so glad you liked the soup, it was yummy. 💗
I love that handled basket!, I just brought in a full back car seat FULL of my purging.❤
Oh my gosh! That’s wonderful. I did that after my closet collapse while it was a force thing lol It’s amazing how much you can find to get rid of! Have a beautiful day I appreciate your time. Take care, my friend.
Good to reach a goal and number to keep the items you don't use and purge them, will try that method. We all need some discipline. Always enjoying my time watching your videos. Staying watchful of more. Thank you Brooke.
It feels so good to clear out the clutter.
Good idea, soup looked great. I am here in Ohio secondary snow belt we got hammered with snow, I like the cold but not the snow.
Oh, that’s no fun! I’m a warm weather girl, we haven’t had any snow, but we’re getting the cold north of us they got hammered
Happy New Year Mamma Brooke❤
Same to you

You are so amazing to keep going even with everything you are dealing with! I wish you a speedy recovery.
What a great idea Brooke. I'm going to find 25 things I don't use/need and take them to the charity shop.
Perfect! Feel so good when it’s done I got up to 33 or 34. I did the bedroom when my closet collapse so I’m good there but I’m sure I can do some in the bathroom too.

Hello, from Southern Indiana near Louisville, KY. It's 26 degrees here and about 10" of snow. I always enjoy your videos.
We don’t have any snow here in Toronto, but it’s chilly today. The northern part about an hour and a half from here got a couple feet.
You always motivate me😜 Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎉🙏
Happy new year!!🥳
Happy 2025 Brooke. Great idea to get rid of things that are never used. The soup looked so delicious and hearty. Love soups. Havea great week❤
Thank you! The soup was delicious and it was so easy to make.
Good morning! I am working on my purge also. Good job! Have a wonderful day. See you in the next video! ❤
Thank you! You too!
I’m planning to sell my house and move back into the city, so I need to do some serious purging. I should probably do 25 things each week! Your soup looks yummy. I’ve got a pot of pea soup simmering on the stove now. It’s perfect soup weather in Ontario. 😊
You got this! That’s a great goal and good luck with your move!
Love the 25 purge idea. You inspired me to do the same. Enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work. Only going forward in 2025 😊
I am so happy to hear that! I'm cheering for you!
It always feels so good to get rid of those things cluttering up the house. I decluttered my Christmas items. Broccoli cheese soup is one of my favorites. I am going to have to make some this week.
It feels good to get rid of things and give them a new home.
This is such a great idea. I'm definitely going to try. Thanks, and have a beautiful day.🙂
I'm so glad you liked it!

I'm so glad you're inspired to declutter - the chili and soup sound amazing! Enjoy your week!
Miss Brooke, your soup looked fabulous! Wanted to tell you that I love your coffee cup that you always use, so different, I love the pattern and the shape, I have never seen cups like that and I antique shop alot, its a pretty princess 👸
I'm so glad you liked the soup, and yes, I love my coffee cup too - thanks for watching.
Good evening Mama Brooke.
I believe most of us watching your channel have similar tastes or lifestyles, hence the reason we admire your work whatever that may be.
I declutter about every two to three weeks and donate for coupons. Lately I’ve decided if I buy an item , one I do not use often has to go.
It has happened that I almost bought back my own candlestick…lol.
Loves from a freezing Montreal.❤
Love that! 🩷❤️❤️💖 appreciate you more than you know thank you
You inspired me today, Brooke. We purged 50 items. Wasn't really hard to gather up 25 for me & another 25 from my husband. BTW, I love to have a day in the house just decluttering, organizing & purging. Good for the soul!❤
It's so good to get rid of clutter!
Happy Sunday, Brooke! So glad to see you. I will have to make that soup,and I’m on a big purge this year, too! Thanks for taking us along!
You got this!
The 25in 25 is a great idea…thanks…
Yeah! It’s been a helpful way to declutter!
🌟 Good job! Mmm 😋 Your soup looks scrumptious!
Loves! 💕
It's so good to clear out the clutter!
The soup looks delicious! I purge things after the holidays too! Out it goes !! Have a great week!
It's so good!😊 always feels better when we declutter, right
Happy New Year!!!! What an awesome idea you had…. I think that I need to purge 1,025 things in my house…
That soup is my granddaughters favourite soup except I use the immersion blender… heaven forbid they see a chunk of broccoli.
Enjoy your day… looks cold but hey we have no snow yet… it says in Etobicoke we will have snow for 2 hours.🧿

It feels good to get rid of things!
I feel so great when I declutter , but I have to be in the mood to do it . Once I start …. I’m on a roll !
It is such a great feeling when you are in the mood, and you just keep going, going, going!
Great job on purging. We all need to do that. I'm in the process of purging clothes.☺️
Oh, I got forced to do that when the closet fell down and I haven’t bought a piece of clothing since
It's cold here too, -16C . I think I'll purge today and make some banana bread! Happy New Year 🎉
Sounds like the perfect day for it!
Before Christmas I did a large purge so I’m counting that! But I’m positive I could do at least another challenge of 25! Great idea! 🥰
That’s awesome, it’s so good to declutter!
I love homemade broccoli cheese soup. Your hand with your cut looks to have healed pretty well.
Thanks for noticing, it's almost all healed up!
Thanks for sharing and suggesting 25 things to get rid of. Blessings
Thank you so very much. I appreciate it. Have a beautiful day.
Enjoyed watching the purge…..I’m doing it also after putting my Christmas decorations away….very satisfying!
I feel so good when you get it done! ✅
Purging is the best. I do mine all year around as I realize what’s not used over time. It feels so good. Your soup looks so yummy 😊
I just love the feeling of decluttering!
Soup is always perfect for cold winter mornings , we are going to get hit with a lot of snow today here in Ohio so soup sounds yummy!
Oh wow! Up north here got hit with a lot, but Toronto hasn’t got any yet. Hopefully we don’t stay warm and toasty my friend. Keep your life pretty princess at all cost
Great iinspiration to start the day! Have a wonderful week Brooke!
Thank you! You too!
HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVIE!!🎉🎊🎆 GOOD JOB ON THE PURGING😊

I appreciate that thanks. Happy New Year’s to you too. I don’t have a recipe. I just use what I have in my house and I showed that in the video love have a beautiful day.
Great idea for easy way to declutter- we’re getting snow here tonight in Virginia, so tomorrow will be my day to try this! 😊
That's perfect timing! Let me know how it goes.
Good idea Brooke, I need to do this on this cold day! Makes me feel good.
I know what you mean. It’s a great way to spend a day inside.
Be bless Brooke. You are the best. Love your videoes. Can't wait to see what you have next.
I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching.

You are so awesome! You got this!

Happy new year!
Great idea ..it’s a horrible stormy day here in NL so it’s a great day to start the purge ..Happy new Year
Sorry to hear that stay warm make some comfy food and put on your comfy slippers and purge
Great idea! I do plan on having a garage sale this year ....l have 1 and a half tubs started for it plus other things.
You’ve got this! That’s awesome!
I absolutely love to purge especially when I know I’m going to value village. If you haven’t used it, it’s time to get rid of it 😅
Happy New Year Brooke! Loves ❤
I’m going to be donating to Value Village too.
Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Oh yum !! I have never made it from scratch so I will do this soon !! My bedroom is brown, black, caramel and creamy white. I love the calmness but really miss color. Any tips to add a small muted color? Drapes are white, bedding is strips of fabrics that are rag quilted with pillowcases that coordinate. Lamps are vintage cream. You are so good at decorating I need help. Stay warm !!!
Yeah, for the spring, you could add a bright colour fringe lonto your lampshades. It doesn’t have to be attached. You could just use a straight pin a beautiful bouquet of flowers. That’s the name of you and it’s removable. Send me a pic to my email then I can actually see. I’m thinking blue brookedraycott4@gmail.com
Soup looks delicious!
Soup was so good!
Good morning Brooke, 60 degrees here in Miami, we are going to work in our garden today perfect weather. I'm watching you lying down drinking my Cuban cafecito and my husband was listening when you said tostones, lol that is his favorite platanos ,he doesn't like the sweet ones, something about that in France you don't mix sweet things with salty food I don't know maybe it's just him. The 25 things I purged were some shoes and clothing ,sometimes I keep things that don't even fit just in case I lose more weight, that's not going to be .I really liked the little knives you donated, i actually need one of those for our house we eat alot cheese here .I love the way you always speak about your daughter, the love that you have for each other is beautiful. We also have only 1 child he's 26 a college student ,he's almost done with college he is getting his Phd in Physical therapy and his girlfriend is getting her masters so soon he will fly the coop,but that's ok while he is happy that's all that matters.Have wonderful week and by the way to the tostones you can make a mojito sauce with sour oranges garlic,salt and I add a bit of olive oil ,that's how we eat them in Cuba.Saludos desdé Miami. ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and your mojito sauce recipe sounds delicious!
Great idea Brooke! Now I gotta get at’er!!
It feels so good to clear out the clutter!
Great video Mama brooke 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks! I hope you are inspired to get started
Purging always make you feel good. John and I took a huge load to Goodwill yesterday 😊. Brooke your soup looked so so good. Enjoy your day. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, it feels good to purge for sure. I need to do so much more of it, but I start with the kitchen. I worked my way through the house.
Perfect for cold days ❤ u momma
I’m glad you think so!
Mama Brooks i love the idea about purging. I'm gonna adopt ur plan but do it monthly for the year...THANKS!🎉
It's amazing what you can achieve when you set your mind to it. I did my bedroom after the closet collapsed. I haven’t bought a piece of clothing sent and I purged for huge garbage bags out the door and don’t regret any of it.
Great idea. It feels good ,
I know right? It feels so good!
I’m going to start my purge today! Happy new year Brooke❤
Good luck! Happy New Year to you too.
I just made the same soup not 10 minutes ago! Then I sat down with ☕ to watch you! 😀 I cheat a little bit with Bear Creek soup and add steamed veggies 🥦 🥕 and grated cheese, & serve it with toasted rye bread and butter.
Happy New Year, Brooke! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm purging ANY clothes that aren't 💯 comfortable and make me feel super good. I went to Gabe's yesterday and bought 4 pants... One is Calvin Klein black slacks $6.99. The others were all $3.99 each. 😮 And 6 pair of pretty panties for $11.99 because I deserve them! 😅👑
I also went to the thrift store... found a brand new Lands End top with tags still on it. Fits beautiful! 😍 It's a knit cobalt blue v-neck with 3/4 sleeves with little puffed shoulders. 💙 So cute and slimming!
Well, great minds think alike then I didn’t have to purge my clothes because my closet collapsed a couple months ago lol 😂 and I purged hugely then and I haven’t bought a piece of clothing since nor do I need to thanks for watching. Have a beautiful evening.
Loved the video, thank you for sharing. ❤
You are so welcome! 💖
