- Decluttering is VERY tough for me! It definitely doesn't come easy for me to film a closet tour because I thought it was going to look like that forever. Closet organization has been at the top of my TO DO list for several years. As a working mom, it was hard to find the time! But I gave myself 2 days and I did it! I'm so proud of myself :) Thanks for watching!

There is so much power in getting things in order! I really appreciate that you showed the real closet not a "staged" version. The fact that you picked up the camera even when you could feel yourself being overwhelmed, was awe inspiring. This was a hard won victory and I am happy to of witnessed it.
Thank you so much!
Marriage & Motherhood I do recommend to donate to Salvation Army they help the Veterans and Good Will doesn’t , I do recommend to donate there
You don’t need more drawer space, you need less stuff.
Amen!
If you haven't gone through those bins in YEARS, just trash them, obviously there's nothing in them that you want or need.
Also someone once said, don't hold on to things because you spent money on them and you feel like it's a waste. The money has already been spent, so the waste has already occurred. The real shame is the continued waste of keeping those things and NOT using them, instead of giving it to someone who could use them!!
Very true!
I use to be like that. I couldn't get rid of things I spent money on or if someone else spent money on. Then I ran a non profit thrift store for 2 years and saw how much stuff people get rid of that other people genuinely blessed to get!!! Now I always have a donation box/bag. If something new comes in something has to go.
Letting go of stuff is not actually wasting money. Money was wasted the moment you bought an item in first place. Things that just sitting in your home is a waste. Try to set a timer each time, maybe for only 30 mins. That way you won’t be overwhelmed. Also I follow Allie Cassaza. She helped me a lot with decluttering :)
My favourite part of this video was when you showed the “after” because I could actually HEAR the happiness/Relief in your voice. It was almost as if you were holding so much weight on your shoulders and someone just lifted it off you and you could breathe properly again. So inspiring! I love the feeling of decluttering so much I do it like once every 3 months 😂
Yes it feels soooooo good! I've been wanting to do this for years.
I’m so glad you didn’t quit, you have to feel so good now! TFS this journey!
Beautiful outcome
If it helps, the “finances mindset” you’re having trouble with is actually an example of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Whether you choose to keep or get rid of an item, the money has already been spent. That money is GONE either way, so it isn’t a factor at all. So the two options you’re left with are
1: you spent x dollars and you’re keeping something that will add clutter and stress to your life, or
2: you spent x dollars and you’re removing a source of clutter and stress from your life.
Hope this helps!
Have you watched Clutterbug? She identifies 4 different organizing and cleaning methods. She believes that not everybody organizes or cleans the same way, and that the mainstream organizing methods and products are only geared towards certain people.
She really opens your eyes to what your method should be.
Yes!! I looove Cass from Clutterbug. I just found out I am a ladybug...she is one too, maybe that is why I love her so much.
Love her and that series was so helpful! I even made my hubby watch it so he could understand how I approach things. I’m a cricket and he’s a ladybug 🤣
Omg. I need help. I need to look her up
Watching this video is like watching myself. Omg I have tried to declutter too. Evan had my daughter help me. It's a battle I know. I WILL BE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO OVER AND OVER TO HELP ME CLEAR THE CLUTTER. Thanks for sharing. So glad I found you.
Yay! Thanks for mentioning how you recycle and make sure things are disposed of responsibly.
All I can say is I feel for you! Just watching this gave me anxiety and I wanted it to be done for you! I felt so overwhelmed with all the decisions you had to make! I'm just dreading doing my cabinets and closets but you gave me encouragement and motivation to do it! Thank you for sharing and pushing your way through this! ❤️💜💙💚
Omg I’m in tears, I found my twin .. this is me and I so need to follow in your foot steps because i have so much to declutter and it’s hard for me to make decisions and I have a ton of nice stuff I can’t depart with. Thank you for sharing because I needed this, I guess I’m not crazy after all lol thank you
Awesome job! thanks for sharing real life struggles. Super proud of you because I understand how hard it is to do what you are doing. Way to go!!!!!
Thanks Ukeme! Many blessings to you!
You did a fantastic job! I wish I could like this video a million times! Thank you for the video, it’s refreshing to see someone I can relate to instead of people all happy full of energy easily disposing of stuff. Like you, i always go back to what i spent on an item 🤷🏽♀️ in reality if I haven’t used it in months/years then it’s time to go.
You are seriously inspiring me. I planned to come home and get rid of papers and by walking in the door listening to you I accomplished my goal!
It really motivated me to clean. Thankyou Jia for showing the big difference...👍
If you haven’t worn anything in two years give it away. Also you should put your summer stuff in a bin and maybe put it in the garage or basement to make room for your winter clothes. You can change clothes out seasonally. In my head though I am screaming “just throw it out because it still stays in your home until you go to discard them at MAC or Best Buy. There I made some decisions for you! 😊
I decided all my clothes every season must fit in the closet. I decided 10 long sleeve and 10 t-shirts. I have 3 pair of jeans and a pair of black pants. I have two sweatshirts. The rest like pjs, and stuff is my dresser. It has made my life so much easier when it is cold one day and hot the next day. I don't have to search for something to wear.
WOW that looked super overwhelming - good for you for pushing through! I loved when you kept saying ‘I just wanna quit right now!’ Haha That is me mid-project all the time! Good job! 👏
Thanks for watching :)
I just cleaned out my make up and hair products yesterday. Jia apply the same energy you have for finances on making decisions to keep things in order in your home. It all works together
Yayyyy Jia!! My closet looks like your before pic (hangs head in shame). I have been on a decluttering binge as well. You hit the nail on the head about not making it look pretty at first, but just decluttering and then maintaining the cleaned space before investing in pretty organizational tools. Do you find that you guard your newly decluttered spaces like a Mama Bear? I dare a member of my family to mess up my newly decluttered and organized kitchen...lol.
Love your videos
Thank you for this. You have inspired me to declutter. Gotta make use of this time at home.
Amazing work sweet lady!!!! I recently did the same thing. Filming it gave me such drive to finish the project!! I plan to do more! Applause!!! 👏👏👏
I am so proud of you. I know it was hard for you but it looks so good. I absolutely love your bathroom.
That jet black dress with white lace on the side. Wow! That is beautiful!
You get multiple thumbs up, a pat on the back, and all other types of applause 😊 you did an amazing job! It's my motivation to tackle my kids closets
Hi. Thanks so much for sharing. My house needs decluttering so bad it's unbelievable. But as you said, if you could do it, I can too. And a shot out for clutter bug. The bug series is amazing.
Looks great! I’m feeling inspired to finish my project now!
You rocked it!! Origins no longer recycles make up, such a bummer!! I think Mac only takes their products
Awesome job!! I did this about 3 months ago and then for Christmas asked for a bunch of IKEA gift cards to completely redo our closet! We have halfway done building it.
You will love the IKEA set when you do it!! Congrats!!
Hey, I am like you, I don't wear much makeup and I forced myself to get rid of most of it the other day but I am so much happier now! everything I kept fits in one small bag and I can find what I want easily. I never thought about whether it was safe to throw away in the trash though.
Way to go Gia!!! 🤗 Amazing job well done 👍I feel like cleaning my closet too now.
Beautiful wedding photos! Sorry for the loss of your aunt. I love watching your vlogs. I feel like you're really talking to me. :-) Great job getting through the closet. I would have quit half way through!!!!
Amazing - congratulations! The "before" made me nervous - I can't have a lot of clutter any more. Your closet looks functionally amazing - who *cares* if it's cute?!
It looks so good Jia 😱 you got rid of so much👌 love your huge closet. Tfs👍
Yay! You did it! It looks GREAT! I love how you are so animated and funny when you talk! I have laughed so hard, my cheeks are hurting! 😀
Thanks for watching!
Lovely vlog xx my brother said it's the mental cost which is more important. I'm on a journey too to declutter X God bless 🙏👍❤️
Not sure if you see/read comments from old videos, but
In the future, try freecycle.org. I post things I dont want on there, and folks who can use it or need it come to the house and pick it up. I usually just leave in a bag on the bench at the end of our driveway. Makeup, perfume, body creams and lotions. Shoes, clothing, glasses etc. I shared a TON of old contacts. It feels great to help someone and it keeps stuff out of the landfills
Wow awesome job. Yeah it can be challenging, but you pressed your way and the end brought you joy and peace
Love how your so real!
Clutterbugs recent videos on which bug you are should help you understand how your brain works and the reasons you may follow Alejandra is because maybe you’re actually a bee? I follow at home with Nikki because I’m a cricket as she is too I think. So I gravitate towards her. Congrats on your progress. The simplicity challenge seems great. I used konmari and clutterbugs decluttering challenge and it has helped so much.
Make the hangers all the same color!!!!!!!! Simplify and make your life easier.
I love everything about this video it reminds me of myself!
Thanks for watching!
Great job, Jia! I have that same shoe organizer. Now I just need to tackle my closet!
Jia, you are absolutely amazing. As you did this video i felt like my conscience was talking. I will try to tackle it. It feels like Kilimanjaro.LOL. Great job
You did an awesome job!!! Thank you for sharing your video!
You did such an awesome job and I heard Kathryn from doitonadime say "that you shouldn't feel bad about getting rid of stuff bc you feel bad about wasting money because She said that you already spent the money so, the damage is already done". That helped me so much. When I was going through stuff I didn't think about money bc of that.
I am SO proud of you & happy for you!! You took a moment to ELEVATE your mind toward a goal and kicked it in the face!! Cheers!! :)
Loved watching this! Oh, and there's an awesome organization called Beauty Wishes that you can mail your makeup, skin care and body care products to - they sanitize the makeup and are able to distribute it to different women's shelters. (I'm sure this is too late, as you probably already figured out what you're going to do with all that excess makeup, but for future reference) 😊
OMG!!! You did an amazing job!!!!!!
This was truly amazing I'm very proud of you!!
You're honesty made me Feel like I was right there to helping a sister/friend out 👏
Huge difference in your closet. Have you kept it up? I’ve decluttered my master closet a few times over the years but as of today it’s back to being very cluttered. Ugh!!!!!
The was so much fun!! Loved the wedding pics! Keep on pushing!!! Felt like I want talking to a girlfriend!
What an amazing job! Congrats!
You can give cosmetic stuff to homeless shelter for women . Also clothes and linens{blankets and things}. Churches a lot of times have donation places for the needy.
That was an incredible feat on so many levels - well done!
This was great girl you did amazing! What a transformation!
Excellent job!!! I literally clapped out loud when I saw the "'after"' video
Lol! Thank you!
Wow, what a difference! Congrats, it looks like it was a lot of work, but it was sure worth it!
I love your closet and you did a great job so glad you didn't give up.
Yay u did it I’m so happy for u, I have the same problem when decluttering it really is hard this so motivating thanks for pushing through ur amazing
Great job! ❤️ I need to do mine also! Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome job. You have a new subscriber. Love that you get into detail and don’t just show a before & after picture. We actually get to see the process. That help me so much. :)
Thanks for watching!
Wow! good for you!!! your before closet looks a lot like mine :-/
I was feeling for you when you kept talking to yourself to push through... we are currently in the process of moving... and my closet has been my Achilles Heel for sure.... it's a very daunting task... I am soooo proud of you!
My new closet will look like your after closet... promise! :)
Decision Fatigue. Is that a real condition? I’ve never heard of that. I guess you learn something new every day!
Simplessity!? As in, Alejandra Costello's course? Awesome! I still have to get through the Productivity Course.
WoW girl congrats! Maybe if you read the Marie kondo book ‘the life changing magic of tidying up’ you can get rid off things more easily. I read it and cleaned my closet out. I’m left with a third and I’m happy! 😘
I read it. Great book but it was hard for me to take action.
I'm very proud of you J!!
I really need this today!!! Thanks
I love using body spray and perfume a lot I do collect them all of them.
Great job Jia. I am inspired.
Looks fantastic!! I'm sure it's totally satisfying
Hello! I know this video is old, but i was wondering where you found that Simplicity course.
Congrats Jia. New year new you new goals. Blessings. 😊
Hi Jia! I'm so super proud of you too! W could hear your exasperation as you filmed but you pushed through. Kudos to you for getting out of your comfort zone and inspiring others along the way.
Your closet looks great! Glad it makes you so happy and thanks for sharing!
Thank you :)
I love those hangers. I have changed all of mine to those. :)
Closet is huge! But love the change!
I need to do this. I have such a hard time letting things go. 😭
Great job!
I love this video.
If you still need drawer space, a short chest might fit into your closet.
GIRL.....I’m with you pray for me please
Good job!! Love the results
OMG I'm watching myself. I have the same problem so your not alone.
Good job👍 very inspiring 🎉👏
Well done! That's amazing!
I need to do the same with my closet. I just need to get the energy from lack of sleep with a newborn
I totally understand. The closet will be there.....take care of that precious baby!
Great Job! 👏🏾👏🏾
WoW! Such a good job, congrats!!!
Girl! You rock!
I've read you can still donate dingy or stained clothes because they get sent to be made into textiles!
Great video! Great job! I can relate to your closet woes...very motivational. I love your channel keep it up! You help a fellow working mom try and be the best me I can be!
Thanks for watching 😘
