To help stay motivated just remember that every time you don’t waste money on random little bits of stuff that you don’t need, you’ll be one step closer to that big bay window that you do need. Keep up the good work!
I'm on a no buy year for everything! I need to continue to curate what I have and that means saving money and decluttering! Win win! Great reminders!..Thank you!
My greatest success 2021 was getting rid of 80% of my clothes and i love it. Loundry is easier, no more piles and boxes full of clothes blocking rooms... i dont miss a thing. Its great.
You could work on a craft corner in your basement to motivate yourself, just like you did for your son's play area! With a desk facing his play area, you could then see him play while you are crafting. Keep up the great work! xx
I am doing much the same. Once you have easy access to all your organized crafting things, you will have such fun. It is hard to pare down to a manageable inventory but oh so rewarding !
Stopped buying craft supplies about four years ago it is unbelievable how much stuff I had considering I make cards to sell at a store finally I ran out of card stock. It was actually a fun challenge to use up what I had! Now to use up all my fabric
Remember how happy your son was about the play area in the basement and how rewarding that made the decluttering process? Channel that same energy for yourself into a craft area!
Here is a suggestion - turn all your hangers in your closet backward. When you wear something - turn the hanger forward. At the end of the year - you will know what you wore and what you didn't.
Dear Miss Heart, I’m hearing you on the crafting supplies! I’ve recently come to understand that my hobby is buying crafting supplies. This year, I’m going to use more and buy less too! 🥰
I was so excited to find out that I could borrow e-books and audiobooks from Hoopla!! Saves me so much money and time! I love how you have things organized & all in one place, so that you KNOW you don't need to buy those specific things in 2022 💕
I did another closet edit for the homeless center. Have a bag of warm clothing, mostly socks, gloves, hats. There was also a call out for Sack lunch supplies as well, so a pantry edit was in order. We are very no/low spend. We are fortunate to be comfortable and cozy in our little home. You have great goals that are very doable!
Thank you for being so real Ms. Heart. I was surprised when you showed your nail sticker collection but it shows we all still have things we need to work on even though you may have grown so much in recovery. The key is to recognize when there is a problem and make strategies for solving them! Great job again!
Absolutely!!! I knew I had to address this because it would have been a familiar path to hoarding! The disorder never disappears but the behaviors can be changed 🦄💜🙏🏻🌟
Those no-buy categories will surely make you save a lot. It will benefit your family and that's important! I can also already see your crafting space and you, enjoying the place and your creativity. It would be great to see a wall with those ribbons all to select from! Btw-I love your nails! Keep watching out for new colors at every video! Wish you to have the best out of this year, Mrs.Heart! Lots of love from Poland!:) 🦄 💜 🥳
I’m with you on the Havianas and I also feel the same way about my birks … thank you for this video… and how much you have helped me understand my ADHD and the link to clutter and other obsessive behaviours.
Ms Heart (aka the decluttering Unicorn)- You are my favorite on TH-cam. I get so happy when there is a new video. Thank you for sharing your journey- it honestly helps me with mine. Happy New Year and many blessing and joy to you and your family.
One thing I always do when I’m doing a no-spend period of time is I go through everything and organize the items already in my home. I have time to do this because I’m not out shopping or spending time in stores or dreaming up projects that I’ll need to buy supplies for. At the end of the process I always end up feeling so blessed and filled by the abundance I already have. And that frees my heart to purge the things I’ve lost interest in as my taste and interests have changed. It changes the feeling of the process from deprivation to contentment.
I'm learning to "shop at home" when I think I need something. I also ask myself, "Am I buying the IDEA of this book, craft supply, exercise DVD, and so on?"
I’m glad to hear you say that you know you have to bring more out than you take in; it’s so true. I saw (Joshua Becker, I think is his name) say we have all these rituals about receiving gifts (things) and none about getting rid of things - it really adds up! Add shopping onto that and the clutter can really get to be a lot. I love that you’re not buying clothes, shoes, accessories & water bottles this year - we all have plenty & should use them up!
I have done the same with checking books out from the library. I used to buy books and highlighted things too that I wanted to easily find. I get excited when I see how much you go through. I see $$ signs on if you would sell the items. But that is just my way of thinking. Getting things out of the house quickly is better. We went to the glass snaplock containers to store food in the refrigerator/freezer. We only keep 3 or 4 plastic containers to send food home with family. Have fun decluttering! Every thing decluttering out will be a great feeling.
Yes. Shop in your home. Start by organizing your craft supplies in clear containers just like the stores. Try hard to copy the stores. You can do this. Resist the temptations
Had another thought, when you get this crafting supply area all organised and pretty it'll be such an inspiration space for you, it'll be literally like going to a craft store!
I'm from Brazil and I love the way you say Havaianas xD I'm Very happy to see someone like me decluttering. I Just declutter half my clothes too. I am never got diagnosed but after working with adhd Kids and Reading I am thinking about getting tested.
I have a rule first week of the month pick just 5 items to give away, second week 4 items,third week 3 items, skip a week ( just scan in mind what’s going to church’s, mental hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) Then start over next next month same as above. I keep a bag at front door to drop in bag so on fridays I deliver to my choice of donations. ( about 12 items a week- slow and at eas. Thanks for your helpful video’s❤️
These are some great rules, I'm sure by the end of the year the amount of money saved will be very eye opening and rewarding. I found the best way to help the shopping urges was to just not go into any shops! Supermarket only and if I need anything else I go directly to the item and don't walk round the rest of the shop. I also removed myself from any email lists as the 'today only sales' are s huge trigger to spend. I don't look on shopping websites unless I specifically need something. Honestly, if you don't see the items you're 'missing out' on it's really easy to not buy anything. Once you're out the habit you stop even thinking about purchasing new things all the time.
I think I am your long lost grandma, we are so alike. I have an obsession with stickers, fingernail and journaling. I'll probably never have to by notebooks again in my lifetime. I used to have five bookcases. Thank goodness for Kindle and libraries online! So glad I found you, I need a hoarding recovery friend. It's such a lonely disfunction.
If you can get a craft area set up, you will love it! Several years ago, I went through all my "started" craft items - then I either finished it or gave it away. Now, I only have craft items that I like to use.
Think how beautiful your own craft supplies will look once you've set them up pretty like the stores. You won't even miss the store because your corner of the basement wil spark so much joy.
I did no buy toiletries and makeup several years ago you'll be surprised how long things actually last. I'm doing no buy this winter bc I bought alot last winter when I lost weight. I'm doing low buy this year.
Amazing Miss Heart ❤️ and I’ve no doubt you will succeed. It will be another wonderful journey your sharing with us and thank you for that. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪💐❤️🦄🙏
@@ahoardersheart the filters last about 7 years and I believe the unit itself is a lifetime guarantee. There’s videos on TH-cam about them, that was what helped me decide to buy one.
I recognise myself in your description of Adhd. I'm so much like you and each section ( Stationary, crafts, holidays etc) I'm thinking your in my head! I love your wise words and they definitely help me. Thankyou and hugs Fay from Manchester in the UK ( I'm going to speak to the doctor about Adhd tomorrow)
Wonderful mindset to realize that people are whet truly matter. How fun the year will be for you to find and use what you have instead of buying more. I’m sure your creative side won’t feel scarcity at all! Keep up the good work and God bless you! 💜
I love EVERYTHING you said. It's amazing. And I especially love the environmental considerations and your focus on the abundance of what you already have. You're so darned smart and inspiring. 💜
This weekend I finally found the shampoo that I have been looking for. Now I think I have enough for the year. I have enough detergents, and bar soap for my family that, we have our own preference. I am not buying any more spices, nor peanut butter, nor cereals, nor other things on my long list for at least 3 to 4 months. No more shoes my husband got me 3 pair of special Orthopædic ones this pass weekend. It's not going to be boring because I have lost weight and I get to shop my clothes of beautiful clothes that hasn't fit in a while.
Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. - Proverbs 10:17 I pray that the Heavenly Father will give you the strength and desire to keep disciplined and meet all of your goals, they are all good ones!
I feel like you're making a video about me 110% like I really need not buy all of those exact 10 same things it's the high of it the dopamine rush I get it cuz I have ADHD and hoarding tendencies as well so therefore I am definitely going to try to adopt the list that you are working on for 20 22 especially because I've been struggling with my finances and this will help me I'm sure I'm so excited for the encouragement and I look forward to enjoying the things that I already have as the example that you are setting is the one I was recently trying to adopt myself as well knowing that I have everything that I keep constantly buying so therefore I'm not going to buy it anymore just like you thanks again!!!
You speak to my heart! This all sounds so familiar. Even Wawa! I can’t wait to see the rest of your videos. Btw, I have candle stuff, maybe we should collaborate! Lol
I watch lots of different videos on this subject. I have to say that your videos keep me coming back for more. There's something about your approach that is so honest and relatable. It's been amazing to watch your journey. I go back to your previous videos to see how far you've come. Bravo Miss Heart! Your kindness and beautiful soul shine bright. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I would definitely make a crafts area down in the basement and transfer everything down there. It will be much easier, spaciest and alot less clutter in the laundry room. You'll be able to walk through without having stuff all over the place
You're so inspirational, and you've been doing an INCREDIBLE job! I'm so proud of you and the amazing progress you've made. I always look forward to your videos and following your progress. - Rachel
wow you are doing awesome and it´s sooo fun to see you declutter purge and getting rid of stuff!! ahhh you are going to love minimalism it´s so peaceful and calm. Plus there´s alot less cleaning dusting etc when you have less stuff around ..
Oh Thank you for sharing. Decluttering is not alot of fun if you love crafts. But I also need to keep NO BUYING MORE !! I getting bad on totes, baskets and why am not done decluttering yet I have to remind myself a marked box will work for now. Thank you for sharing your video 🥰👏
Super interesting to hear your thought processes. I just found your channel so I don’t actually know your story, but I get the idea. I find it fascinating to hear how you get lost in the store thinking about the possibilities. I do too.., but for me the result is the opposite extreme. I get so overwhelmed with all the options that I leave with nothing because I can’t narrow it down. I’m a minimalist by nature and I’m intrigued to hear about your journey and how you move through life. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you all the success in your goals for the year.
I love your videos, and I have been SO impressed by all that you have done!!! The only thing that would make the videos better is to get rid of the music while you are talking. It is very loud and distracts away from all of the amazing things that you are bringing to people. Thank you so much for helping me to understand what is happening in the minds of my family and friends that struggle with hoarding!!
Journals and stickers are one of my most-purchased items too! I decluttered a lot and plan to use most of the rest this year. You can enjoy and have fun with them without going overboard. Glad I’m not the only one!
As far as craft supplies are concerned, when you get to organize all the supplies you do have you will realize how much you do have and won't feel the need to buy more.
Miss Heart, I have been watching for a while and am amazed at how much you have done. I was wondering what was the catalyst that starting you on your recovery? What started the mind shift?
You should set up your basement as a craft store with a work area. You could invite your friends over for craft parties. Y’all could take turns teaching each other new craft ideas!!! Oh my gosh that sounds like so much fun!!!!!
I have a couple challenges for this year but my main one is: Be thankful for what you have. This includes every category so before I buy ANYTHING, I review of I have an equivalent or something close at home that I can do instead.
Last summer Consumer Reports did a 2 part report on bottled water. It never occured to me that the FDA does not require that bottled water be tested for contaminates. Some of the bottled water CR tested did not test well. In fact, the average tap water tested better. One of the bottled water was actually water straight out of the tap! A crime when you pay a premium for it.
Can you compare 2 items to choose the one you like best. Also, try finding your color palette clothes and hair wise. This has helped me limit and co-ordinate my wardrobe since I was a teenager--about 30 years. I am NOT suggesting a very small wardrobe, but this does end up happening after you understand you palette.
January 2024. I don't buy new art supplies. I own 3 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of flip-flops. No new clothing. I have 6 long-sleeved tees, and 6 short sleeve tees. 3 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of sweatpants and a few nicer outfits are all I need. I don't wear make-up or do nails or hair. A bottle of shampoo lasts a year. All we need is food and a few cleaning items. The public library is next door. Tina, Al's wife
I love to just stroll through the aisles and imagine the things o could make. It helps a lot with my ‘spending habits’ I don’t have ADHD but I am BPD 2.
What great video! I love your list of intentions and that you are developing such a positive mindset! Your video really inspired me to consider my own buying habits and I need to make changes. Thank you so much for a great video! 🥰🥰🥰
I love your list apart from needing better quality shoes that don't hurt my feet or ankle from an injury last year I think I am going to steal this list 😁
Oh my! Wawa chicken corn soup is my Achilles heel. I’m glad the closest one is a 20 minute drive for me. Lol. I just started watching your videos and your amazing in your progress ! It’s important to take things at your pace. Have you watched minimal mom yet?she gives me allot of inspiration.
I wish from the bottom of my heart that you can make a craft station with a very nice display (just like in the store) for yourself in the basement. Because you love yourself and cherisch your creative talents that God gave to you 💕💞🦄
Thank you for mentioning plastic water bottles! I just ordered a Berkey water filter. Plastic is so bad for the environment! For me: the only things I buy anymore are reference books and gardening seeds.
My biggest trick, for not buying.... I don't go into the stores much anymore. Grocery pickup is a savior. No impulse shopping. My biggest pull, going into TJ Maxx. Not even for clothes, but for home accessories. Mostly, the candles. I actually need to go now, to look for a certain candle, that I LOVE, and can only seem to find there. My husband is also my accountability. He gets bored easily, when we're not shopping for him, so he stays on my heals. Great way to get me to want to leave, lol.
I did something similar to you with your nails. I Painted them, each individual, it took hours ! i didnt want to ruin the paintings, that helped a lot.. Now i can live without the nailpainting, but it was soooo helpfull!
December 2024. I collect costume jewelry. Any item I haven't worn in a year gets sold or given away. I like the colors for each season: now I wear red, green, gold, and navy blue. Tina, Al's wife
To help stay motivated just remember that every time you don’t waste money on random little bits of stuff that you don’t need, you’ll be one step closer to that big bay window that you do need. Keep up the good work!
Even though you have more things and spaces to go through, the basement seems and feels more bright and airy 🧚♀️

I am looking forward to it!! Thank you so much my friend 🙏🏻🤩🦄💜🌟

I had to keep out of stores. Also the Basement! Every time you do the basement I I get so excited.
Yessss!! I have to stay out of my trigger stores too!! Thank you so so much 🦄💜🙏🏻🌟💗
Me too!
I was so excited to find out that I could borrow e-books and audiobooks from Hoopla!! Saves me so much money and time!
I love how you have things organized & all in one place, so that you KNOW you don't need to buy those specific things in 2022 💕
No target no hobby lobby no Ross no home good. It’s like sitting in a bar and not drinking . 🥰 you.
I did another closet edit for the homeless center. Have a bag of warm clothing, mostly socks, gloves, hats. There was also a call out for Sack lunch supplies as well, so a pantry edit was in order. We are very no/low spend. We are fortunate to be comfortable and cozy in our little home. You have great goals that are very doable!

Journals and stickers are one of my most-purchased items too! I decluttered a lot and plan to use most of the rest this year. You can enjoy and have fun with them without going overboard. Glad I’m not the only one!
What I've been doing when I go shopping is thinking of what I got at home and what I don't have. It's stopped me from buying duplicates.
I find that not going into craft stores is a big help. I also unsubscribed from email lists.
Unsubscribing from emails was a game changer for me!
As far as craft supplies are concerned, when you get to organize all the supplies you do have you will realize how much you do have and won't feel the need to buy more.
You are 💯 right my friend ❤️ I hope you are doing well!!
Love the ending of this video. Quality time is so important. 😘
It's time to shop our stash for so many categories. You are soooo right! ❤️❤️❤️
Miss Heart, I have been watching for a while and am amazed at how much you have done. I was wondering what was the catalyst that starting you on your recovery? What started the mind shift?
Great list! You can do it! You're amazing 👏 💖
You should set up your basement as a craft store with a work area. You could invite your friends over for craft parties. Y’all could take turns teaching each other new craft ideas!!! Oh my gosh that sounds like so much fun!!!!!
I mean, only the part of the basement your sons aren’t using as a playroom of course
I have a couple challenges for this year but my main one is: Be thankful for what you have.
This includes every category so before I buy ANYTHING, I review of I have an equivalent or something close at home that I can do instead.
Last summer Consumer Reports did a 2 part report on bottled water. It never occured to me that the FDA does not require that bottled water be tested for contaminates. Some of the bottled water CR tested did not test well. In fact, the average tap water tested better. One of the bottled water was actually water straight out of the tap! A crime when you pay a premium for it.
I have a water filter that is attached to the faucett. Extremelly cheaper than any other way to get filtered water, very convenient too.
You go girl!🎉
Great job decluttering and that plaid shirt with the glitter pocket is so cute
Can you compare 2 items to choose the one you like best. Also, try finding your color palette clothes and hair wise. This has helped me limit and co-ordinate my wardrobe since I was a teenager--about 30 years. I am NOT suggesting a very small wardrobe, but this does end up happening after you understand you palette.
Thanks for the remainder! Note to myself:
Repeat every day..... Enjoy what you already have!! Lol 😀😀
That first shot of the basement, it's coming along!!! You're doing so great!! 🎉 Keeping going gal pal!!
Thank you for explaining. Im understanding my addiction to shopping compulsiveness
January 2024. I don't buy new art supplies. I own 3 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of flip-flops. No new clothing. I have 6 long-sleeved tees, and 6 short sleeve tees.
3 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of sweatpants and a few nicer outfits are all I need. I don't wear make-up or do nails or hair. A bottle of shampoo lasts a year.
All we need is food and a few cleaning items. The public library is next door. Tina, Al's wife
I love to just stroll through the aisles and imagine the things o could make. It helps a lot with my ‘spending habits’ I don’t have ADHD but I am BPD 2.
Great resolutions Ms Heart - and my I say, your hair is looking so fab!! I also have a no-buy for clothes and cosmetics this year 😬🤭
What great video! I love your list of intentions and that you are developing such a positive mindset! Your video really inspired me to consider my own buying habits and I need to make changes. Thank you so much for a great video! 🥰🥰🥰
I love your list apart from needing better quality shoes that don't hurt my feet or ankle from an injury last year I think I am going to steal this list 😁
Hello from Germany, Hi Miss Heart, good Plan, No buy is my Goal too. We on a Journey for almost 2 years..... Go on...... , Be Safe
Thank you for #8 especially! 🙏❤️
Oh my! Wawa chicken corn soup is my Achilles heel. I’m glad the closest one is a 20 minute drive for me. Lol. I just started watching your videos and your amazing in your progress ! It’s important to take things at your pace. Have you watched minimal mom yet?she gives me allot of inspiration.
I am right there with you on all of these things!!! Starting today!!!
Can’t wait for your craft supplies videos to start! I hope it’ll be a few episodes at least :)
I'm not buying clothes or candles or notebooks because like you I have enough I don't need anymore 😁
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and plans! It’s very inspiring and making me think I should join your challenge in my own way.
I wish from the bottom of my heart that you can make a craft station with a very nice display (just like in the store) for yourself in the basement. Because you love yourself and cherisch your creative talents that God gave to you 💕💞🦄
I really needed to see this for myself. Thanks
Thank you for mentioning plastic water bottles! I just ordered a Berkey water filter. Plastic is so bad for the environment! For me: the only things I buy anymore are reference books and gardening seeds.
My biggest trick, for not buying.... I don't go into the stores much anymore. Grocery pickup is a savior. No impulse shopping. My biggest pull, going into TJ Maxx. Not even for clothes, but for home accessories. Mostly, the candles. I actually need to go now, to look for a certain candle, that I LOVE, and can only seem to find there. My husband is also my accountability. He gets bored easily, when we're not shopping for him, so he stays on my heals. Great way to get me to want to leave, lol.
What are you using to organize your nail stickers? Your organizer looks like something I need.
I'm going to make my list of what not to buy too
I did something similar to you with your nails. I Painted them, each individual, it took hours ! i didnt want to ruin the paintings, that helped a lot.. Now i can live without the nailpainting, but it was soooo helpfull!
December 2024. I collect costume jewelry. Any item I haven't worn in a year gets sold or given away. I like the colors for each season: now I wear red, green, gold, and navy blue. Tina, Al's wife
