I really appreciate how you often mention that you are going to recycle the tossy tossy items as best as you can and talking about avoiding buying more plastic :) not many declutter videos talk about that and it's such an important message.
Awe, thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️ I want to be mindful of the waste going out! I’m taking baby steps towards being more sustainable living and being more eco-friendly 💞
@@ahoardersheart it really comes through. I've watch your older videos and you have improved a lot. I'm sure you'll keep learning as you keep learning to reduce stuff.
If I might make a suggestion? Could you perhaps combine the perfume and body sprays into one of the beautiful trays and put your makeup tray into the space freed up by not having two of them? It would give your eye some resting space and more practically give you more useable counter space.
like you talked about at the end looking at empty trays and empty counter, and also when you noticed the difference between the dusty counter and the counter under the tray - my house gets really dusty too, and that's why I prefer to have my things put away in drawers. especially makeup brushes, they're getting dusty if they sit in a cup, and also they're exposed to aerosolized mist from toilet flushes!! as you embrace the look of clutter free counters, it can be helpful to revisit that in the komari book too, about putting everything away and off counters so it's calming to look at and your things are protected and it's all easier to clean!
The first time you decluttered your bathroom it took MULTIPLE videos. The way you were able to maintain most of the space and declutter much more quickly speaks volumes about your growth as a person and with your disorder!
You’re so adorable. 💕 it is ok bc you’re nipping it in the bud before it becomes an issue and overwhelms you. I see this as maintenance which is big milestone to achieve. Your bathroom looks great and your attitude is inspiring. TFS and have a good week
Ok. There was some tossy tossy but it was a normaal clearing/cleaning day. How great!!! Good pointer about the plastic bags. I do understand the joy of treating ons self, even the bag is a nice treat. And there was not alot. They where well deserved treats. Mrs. ♡, doing great!!
Backslides in decluttering is extremely normal! Yes, throwing trash away is a part of that but it's just one half of it. The other half is letting stuff come into your house in the first place. This is a lot harder since most of the things we buy are the things we need! If you want to tackle that side of the problem, I recommend looking into zero waste solutions. The first step is putting on gloves and going through your trash can item by item and asking yourself "why did I get this if it just ends up as trash?" "do I actually need to replace this?" "if so can I get a version that won't become trash later?". It can be pretty gross though. And don't fall for the trap of buying zero waste replacements if you don't need them! If you don't use plastic straws then don't buy metal straws!
What a wonderful way of looking of that!!! I never thought of it that way!!! Thank you for sharing that with me!! And we did buy metal straws around Christmas time 2019! Love them!!!
I just had to pause the video and say 2 things! First of all the fact that you can declutter this in one episode is such an amazing step because it shows that you are getting stronger! Second, I was so happy when you said that you didn't need the box for the nail polish because typically you like to keep stuff together like that and I was just like "Yes girl put that in the tossy today pile" so congrats on another victory! 🤣🤣🤣
If your house was built in the 40s or 50s and never remodeled...they usually have matching sink/toilet/bathtub in a blue or pink. Usually the sinks in these old houses are the last thing to be replaced. They are so charming.
My house was built in 1955 and I also have the turquoise bathroom. It was one of the reasons I bought the house because the color made me happy. I had to update toilet to white but I had the tub and sink refurbished to the original color. My visitors always say I have a happy bathroom.
I love your self compassion. I believe that's the most important tool in any recovery tool box. You work so hard and do so much. You truly amaze me and are so relatable. Great job again!
You are actually doing such a good job at keeping things from getting too out of control and when you see it piling up, you see the opportunity to nip it in the bud. Way to go!
I wouldn’t even think of it as backsliding because you’re dealing with it. It’s just continuing the journey and learning new ways to manage the things that inevitably come into your house. Even minimalists have an ebb and flow of things moving in and out of their homes, the only difference is they have learned ways to manage it. The FlyLady Swish and Swipe routine is a great one for keeping bathrooms tidy. It’s just a couple of minutes on the morning to wipe down the counters and freshen up the loo. It’s really helped me keep this little things picked up in the bathroom.
The thing is, once you've decluttered, it doesn't take as long as the first time to bring it back to order. Bringing order for the hoarder!! Keep going! Lots of love xx
Hi! New Viewer I just binged most of your videos in the past 2 weeks and I just wanna say you go girl! So Crystals are not only pretty and have meaning behind them but they have healing properties so keep your crystals near and clean so they can release their power in your home. Keep up the good work :) My best friend didn't know she had a hoarder mentality until I pointed it out and she caught herself on time and I helped her through it but her mom does struggle a little bit more and she is now helping her mom and your videos have helped me to calm her down when she feels frustrated with her. To find the right words is a blessing so thank you!
Oh my goodness, I have tears in my eyes!! This was all I wanted, to help people understand Hoarding Disorder better and help heal relationships & people who struggle with it ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️ Thank you so much for sharing this with me!! You’re my blessing today!!
I saw the thumbnail and I was so excited to see you going back over a room you’ve done before! It’s lovely to see how far you’ve come since the first time around! I’m doing round 2 of my books this week and I’m wishing I had a before picture from the first time around. :)
Wow! You are doing great!! I like to get rid of the boxes and put my creams exetra right away when I get home from shopping. You might find that helps !
I am so proud of you! I dont have a hoarding disorder but you are still a very big inspiration to me! I had this thought when I was watching the video that I would like to share with you! If you want the countertop to look even more minimalistic you could put your things in the cabinets or put up some shelves in the bathroom to display your items on. That way you get to enjoy your things visually but without the countertop being cluttered. I hope that you are having a nice day! Sending you all of my love ❤️
I decluttered my makeup collection. I threw out a garbage bag worth of old I am not using. It felt sooo good. I realized that I now feel joy using my makeup. I get stressed when things look messy and cluttered. The makeup on your counter freaks me out. I would put it in a drawer with organization tray. That's my personality
Ive been watching your videos for a couple of weeks, i started back at the beginning, first i want to say THANK YOU for putting yourself out there and explaining how hoarders think... My family has a few, i personally always say i am the opposite of a hoarder and i want to throw everything away lol so I'm more of a minimalist, however i want to help my other family members so it helps a ton to know how they process.... Anyways, you should combine your perfumes and body sprays onto one tray than turn your makeup organizer to face the front where the square mirror with the perfumes are and that would open up some more counter space ❤❤
I am so impressed, the original bathroom clean was what brought me to your channel and I have stayed ever since and BOY have you come far!! Do you have a rubbish bin in your bathroom? I have a tiny cute one in mine and now all the tossy tossies go straight in there. Really extends the time the bathroom stays tidy. I only started doing this a couple of years ago and I really have no idea why I never did it before, lol
Hi beautiful Lady! I loved today's video! What a wonderful quick mini-clean! I'm reading Decluttering at the Speed of Life. And I think the message I'm most taking from it is to put things away now, not make procrastination piles to put away later, to find homes for all the stuff, each and every single item. It's working and my counters are starting to be cleared off of all those things I set down to put away in a different floor later, later, later. It's those daily habits that we are in the process of developing. This is the first time, I feel like the kitchen is under control. There is not one single thing (well I lie, there's the sprouting sweet potato I want to plant) on the counter tops that belongs elsewhere, and it's getting easier to maintain in small bursts of a minute or two, putting things back, putting the dishes in the dishwasher or away in the shelves. I am...flabbergasted, astounded, boondoggled. How is my kitchen staying clean? It never has before. It's all thanks to those small daily habits. I really want all the spaces in my house to function like this, and I want to keep my kitchen like this.
Yesssss!!! I love this!!! You are very right, I’m not the best at putting things away Bc I’m already on the thing on my “To Do List!” Great job on the kitchen, you’re doing great!! I’ll have to check out that book you’re reading!!! Thank you so so much my sweet friend 💖💖
Excellent, excellent job! That's how it's done! If you follow a Fly Ladyish routine, you focus on one zone per week. I spend 15 minutes a day in that zone for 4 days. I'm so proud that you disposed of the packaging. Items take up less space when they are out of their packaging. That allows us to get the item into its home as well as letting us see how much we have or if something needs replacing! What a beautiful photo of you in your wedding gown, my friend!
love this vid and esp your crystals- that round pink one is rose quartz and it's for love-tranquility-and relieving stess. it's also the perfect size to hold in your hand and and meditate with- good luck
Wow!!! Great job🙂🙂🙂🙂 Your bathroom decorations are beautiful 💗💗💗💗 May I make 2 suggestions. 1. Put all perfumes and sprays on the right mirror. 2. On the left buy a rotating makeup organizer for your makeup and lotions. Amazon sells them. I have one and love it!!!! You will have a lot more counter space and less to clean🙂🙂🙂
HI Miss Heart! Great video and lovely to see that you managed that session very easily and rather than it being a hoarded mess, it was just a little bit of clutter. You have a busy life, husband, children, job and whatever else to contend with let alone staying on top of housework. I am not trained in any medical field but I have worked with children and young adults with learning disabilities many of whom were diagnosed with ADD and/or ADHD. I recognise some of the traits of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) within you. Although ADHD can be be a very difficult disorder to live with, I feel that those that do are mostly very intelligent individuals whose brains are capable of functioning at a higher rate that those who do not live with the disorder. Thinking about the crystals, the theory is that you are drawn to the crystals that you need or benefit from in your life. Each different crystal works on a different vibration/energy field. If, during your busy day, you get an opportunity to read up on the information relating to each of the crystals you have in your collection, you will probably find that every one of them has come to you for a reason that fits in with who you are and what you need. I look forward to your next video. As always, best wishes to you from Linda in Norfolk, England xxx
I remember those older videos, you have come such a long way! Awesome! Coincidentally I bought one of those make up erazers on Saturday, glad to hear it works so well! It's still waiting for its first wash so I can use it. Greetings from Germany 💐
You like the minimalistic "view" after you removed everything. I believe you would serve yourself better by putting all the stuff away somewhere. They may be things you use, however, you can not possibly use all of that in one day. Use a linen closet or a drawer to store the organizer and only bring out what you need for the DAY..putting it away after you use it. Will keep your bottles and compacts clean and will stop dust from settling on the brushes. Also, it will make a DAILY wipe of the counter super easy each morning. You will NEVER have to "clean" it again this way
I am working on organizing my paper stacks. You know how painstaking it is. So I have your videos to keep me company. You're a Jersey gal and I'm a Philly girl. Howdy, Neighbor! ~~ We're actually hoping for a shore day this week!! I need some of that beach therapy. ~~ Hearing you restate how you work in little sections at a time to keep your anxiety at bay is such a help to me. And to not get distracted by a million other things is another big help. So I am very proud to say that I have been kicking it out, Girlfriend! Bit by bit by bit and all will get done!
YESSSSSS...we are neighbors girl bc I love my Philly!!! Pre-Covid I took the speed-line over all the time!! Phillies games, South Street, 4th of July Wawa Celebration, Mummers, so many amazing things!! And I absolutely understand the paper stacks 😵 But we got this, I’m cheering you on!!
Decluttering is a life long process from what I've been told. You're always bringing things in so things always need to be cleaned. BTW totally need that t-shirt that says "tossy tossy." I started using that phrase when I clean lol.
Decluttering is a process, like peeling layers of an onion 🧅 you have to revisit the previously decluttered areas from time to time and all of the sudden You are ready to declutter something that you never thought you could get rid of. You are doing sooo good 🌟 When the house is decluttered it gets so easy to dust and clean and I love that, my mental health require a tidy house an with everything being decluttered it is Easy to clean because there is no need to tidy. Not that I or my house is perfect in any way, it’s a Journey...
Just a suggestion for all the plastic shopping bags(this will also help wth your ADD or ADAD...not sure of the actual name but you know what I mean): fold them up neatly and just for trash bags. I use the smaller ones for poo bags when I clean out the kitty litter or keep a small bag in my car....I even put a tiny bag in my purse for little pieces of trash.
Your counter looks great after cleaning so do the shelves. Well done! You might put the container with the brushes to the mirror tray 🤔. There would be an item less on the counter. I should tidy up my make up too 🙊.
Letting your beauty shine through! I am stuck inside this week due to the heat , so I am going over all expenses, a little every day, so not so scary for me. I am a senior senior and have only the basics in my bath, not like when I was young. My towels are all new , and just plain white. Looks so pretty nicely folded on the shelves. Why is it that I am the only one to toss empties , restock, or refill? Clear space is so much easier to clean! Easy dinner of baked chicken and ready made slaw and potato salad, biscuits. Taking the easy way out in this heat. I sorted out the first aid box that is kept in the bath and made sure we were supplied. Why do people just leave empty band aid wrappers in the box? After I watched this, I went and replaced the toothbrushes , razors, and washed all combs and hairbrushes.
If this isn't your own sink, consider experimenting leaving one body spray out for the week(out by make up) and you can switch it out each week and the rest put in the drawer. This way, the right side only has the crystals.
I love how you say 'tossy-tossy' just so you know how I feel and being minimal I just can't keep anything out in the open in the bathroom, too much for me to handle. Also just knowing that toilet water particles spray every flush. I just get so grossed out.
I didn’t realized that...toilet water particles spray when you flush. I’m pretty good at putting the lid down so I’ll really have to be mindful of that!!! Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
I think you should copyright "TOSSYTOSSY" if possible. These two words are my new motto when decluttering!! You just make me smile when you say them lol.
HI ITS O.K. JUST STAY ON IT YOU DOING A GREAT JOB 😍😍😍😍😍😍 DETROIT MICHIGAN LOVES YOUR CHANNEL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A BLESSED DAY THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤💚💚💛💜💙💛💚❤💜💙💜❤💚💙💛
Well done you . Can I just give you one tip keep makeup brushes and toothbrush in a draw or cabinet , spray from the loo when flushed is in the air and needs to land somewhere.
Either way 😎 \😀 I love your videos - but it's really nice to see your beautiful smiling face. I have a Hoarder 's brain. I am pretty sure I was born this way. I can remember picking junk out of the bulk trash pile early in the morning before they came to haul it away - as a CHILD. A young child - single digits. It's hard changing a lifetime 's mindset. You are inspiring and doing an awesome job. I definitely have OCD too. Baby steps. TFS 😊
It must be akward for you at first, but just try to say no to those little (useless let's be honest) plastic bags that bag is so small you can either put the product you bought in your purse (i'm sure you must have quite a big handbag - mama struggle imma right?-) or hold it in your hand until you reach your car/home that way, you're not scattering plastic bags with brand new things everywhere in your lovely house that you'll immediately forget, AND you're reducing, at your level, your usage of plastic ! PS : you really are a beautiful bride omg that picture
Yes, you are so right!! I’ve done great reducing plastic bag waste at grocery stores, Target, etc. I had a moment of weakness at Ulta & Sephora bc I felt happy shopping there again carrying their bag with my new goodies! I know, that’s false of happiness and I’m changing that mindset for the better 🧡💛🧡💛
I think I'll take a note from your book but instead of starting with the smallest room, I'll start with the smallest box. I'm back at my parents home and I get overwhelmed going though my belongings I packed away 2 years ago.
You should totally plant lavender in your yard under a window. Good job on throwing away the boxes. Just create a new habit of throwing away the box the minute you take an item out and find a home for that item.
How about a no bag challenge for the month of August? I love that Bobby Brown Cream (but wow is it pricey). Also how can we help you getting new stuff put away without the boxes when it comes into the house? Going to watch on of the first bathroom. Videos to cheer you on.
Nice job. A Big difference from the first time. But i thought you would have tossed more than just the trash? One nail polish in, one nail polish out 😊❤️❤️❤️
Lol!!! I’m going to do a KonMari Method on all the makeup!! I’ll be throwing more things than just trash on that episode in August!! Thank you my sweetest friend 💖💖💖
don’t get too critical of the dust!! this happens to me a lot but it’s always my makeup dust LOL. also that wet n wild crease brush is a life saver!! i have 6 because i use them so much !!
The Tahiti pink Lily and Bamboo spray is my FAVORITE from Bath and Body. I was so sad when they discontinued it. I bought 10 bottles of the body spray, the body lotion, and 5 bottles of the hair refresher. My number 1 what I always have on. Don't know what I'll do when I use what I have up 😔
Don't worry about it. Everybody needs to revisit and redeclutter already decluttered spaces once in a while. 😉 Btw I am with you on the crystals. They are beauties. Definitely no minimalism there. 😂
My bath would look like that also only I have my cool notebook to remind me to clean about once a month, Flylady style. But I don't work, which Is a huge time eater.

Even a minimalist like me needs to go back through rooms from time to time to declutter. Don't stress about the mess. Just stay on top of it.
Yep, it is the never ending cycle of life, and laundry...
Kelly Lunick that’s good to know, thank you!!! Minimalists are my unicorns 🦄 I feel like you all are so free from the attachment of clutter!
@@ahoardersheart lol thank you. I feel that compliment. A unicorn is so cool. I don't have stuff because I don't like cleaning and tidying :)
I really appreciate how you often mention that you are going to recycle the tossy tossy items as best as you can and talking about avoiding buying more plastic :) not many declutter videos talk about that and it's such an important message.
Yes, I second this, really appreciate that!

@@ahoardersheart it really comes through. I've watch your older videos and you have improved a lot. I'm sure you'll keep learning as you keep learning to reduce stuff.
today I finished putting an actual floor and shelves in a storage room - a room I couldn't even get into a year ago! Huge victory!
Congratulations that's a big achievement
That's wonderful!
Fantastic!
Nici HR oh wow wonderful!!! You truly are an inspiration 🌟🌟🌟

Caiomhe oh this made my heart so happy 💖💖 Thank you my sweetest friend!!!
Your smile is so pretty.
Oh my goodness, you are the sweetest 💖💖💖 Thank you so so much!!!
U have a beautiful smile! It's my favourite thing about now being able to see your face.
I mean even this "mess" now is already soooo muuuch tidyer then when you started!!!
Right!!!!! Whoo Hoo!!! How exciting is that!!! Lol
This is so full circle for me! Your first bathroom declutter is the first video of yours I ever watched. So proud of your progress❤️❤️

Mrs. ♡, doing great!!
Have you considered combining the perfumes and body sprays onto one mirror tray? It would free up so much counter space!

Fragrances also age and start smelling different after a while, I hope in the future she can downsize that collection, too.
Yeah. She has way too much on counters and shelves

Yesssss!!! I love this!!! You are very right, I’m not the best at putting things away Bc I’m already on the thing on my “To Do List!” Great job on the kitchen, you’re doing great!! I’ll have to check out that book you’re reading!!! Thank you so so much my sweet friend 💖💖
Excellent, excellent job! That's how it's done! If you follow a Fly Ladyish routine, you focus on one zone per week. I spend 15 minutes a day in that zone for 4 days. I'm so proud that you disposed of the packaging. Items take up less space when they are out of their packaging. That allows us to get the item into its home as well as letting us see how much we have or if something needs replacing! What a beautiful photo of you in your wedding gown, my friend!
Yesssss!! I have been wanting to get back into Flylady!! She has so many great cleaning routines!!
OMG YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL! I’m so proud of you!
love this vid and esp your crystals- that round pink one is rose quartz and it's for love-tranquility-and relieving stess. it's also the perfect size to hold in your hand and and meditate with- good luck
Wow!!! Great job🙂🙂🙂🙂 Your bathroom decorations are beautiful 💗💗💗💗
May I make 2 suggestions.
1. Put all perfumes and sprays on the right mirror.
2. On the left buy a rotating makeup organizer for your makeup and lotions. Amazon sells them. I have one and love it!!!!
You will have a lot more counter space and less to clean🙂🙂🙂
HI Miss Heart! Great video and lovely to see that you managed that session very easily and rather than it being a hoarded mess, it was just a little bit of clutter. You have a busy life, husband, children, job and whatever else to contend with let alone staying on top of housework.
I am not trained in any medical field but I have worked with children and young adults with learning disabilities many of whom were diagnosed with ADD and/or ADHD. I recognise some of the traits of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) within you. Although ADHD can be be a very difficult disorder to live with, I feel that those that do are mostly very intelligent individuals whose brains are capable of functioning at a higher rate that those who do not live with the disorder.
Thinking about the crystals, the theory is that you are drawn to the crystals that you need or benefit from in your life. Each different crystal works on a different vibration/energy field. If, during your busy day, you get an opportunity to read up on the information relating to each of the crystals you have in your collection, you will probably find that every one of them has come to you for a reason that fits in with who you are and what you need.
I look forward to your next video. As always, best wishes to you from Linda in Norfolk, England xxx
I remember those older videos, you have come such a long way! Awesome!
Coincidentally I bought one of those make up erazers on Saturday, glad to hear it works so well! It's still waiting for its first wash so I can use it. Greetings from Germany 💐
You like the minimalistic "view" after you removed everything. I believe you would serve yourself better by putting all the stuff away somewhere. They may be things you use, however, you can not possibly use all of that in one day.
Use a linen closet or a drawer to store the organizer and only bring out what you need for the DAY..putting it away after you use it.
Will keep your bottles and compacts clean and will stop dust from settling on the brushes. Also, it will make a DAILY wipe of the counter super easy each morning. You will NEVER have to "clean" it again this way
I know right. Love this right. Believe you can change right thanks for the inspo right
Your so gorgeous.Wowsers bathroom looks so beautiful decorated.
I am working on organizing my paper stacks. You know how painstaking it is. So I have your videos to keep me company. You're a Jersey gal and I'm a Philly girl. Howdy, Neighbor! ~~ We're actually hoping for a shore day this week!! I need some of that beach therapy. ~~
Hearing you restate how you work in little sections at a time to keep your anxiety at bay is such a help to me. And to not get distracted by a million other things is another big help. So I am very proud to say that I have been kicking it out, Girlfriend! Bit by bit by bit and all will get done!
YESSSSSS...we are neighbors girl bc I love my Philly!!! Pre-Covid I took the speed-line over all the time!! Phillies games, South Street, 4th of July Wawa Celebration, Mummers, so many amazing things!!
And I absolutely understand the paper stacks 😵 But we got this, I’m cheering you on!!
Watching you declutter and clean is so encouraging and motivating! Thank you!! I’m off to tackle my houshold now ☺️
Decluttering is a life long process from what I've been told. You're always bringing things in so things always need to be cleaned.
BTW totally need that t-shirt that says "tossy tossy." I started using that phrase when I clean lol.
We haven't seen a video from the bedroom in awhile. How's the progress in that room going?
Decluttering is a process, like peeling layers of an onion 🧅 you have to revisit the previously decluttered areas from time to time and all of the sudden You are ready to declutter something that you never thought you could get rid of. You are doing sooo good 🌟 When the house is decluttered it gets so easy to dust and clean and I love that, my mental health require a tidy house an with everything being decluttered it is Easy to clean because there is no need to tidy. Not that I or my house is perfect in any way, it’s a Journey...
I would suggest keeping the counter as clear as possible, to offset the busy walls. It balances the space visually. Xx
I started watching your videos about a month ago and found it so helpful! It’s so nice to see your face now but I do love the first person views!
You are seriously so adorable! I'm super proud of you! Your bathroom is so bright and fun
Love it! Great job Ms H.
Good result! Keep it up girl!
Put the fragrant soap in your sock draw, every time you open the draw you'll be reminded of the perfume.
Just a suggestion for all the plastic shopping bags(this will also help wth your ADD or ADAD...not sure of the actual name but you know what I mean): fold them up neatly and just for trash bags. I use the smaller ones for poo bags when I clean out the kitty litter or keep a small bag in my car....I even put a tiny bag in my purse for little pieces of trash.
The lavender soap would be a wonderful sachet if placed in your lingerie drawer or in your linen closet with your sheets.
Amazing job, you’ve come a long way!
Hello from Germany, i Love the Escada- Parfums, this is a German Brand. I Love cristals too. Good Job, be safe
Your counter looks great after cleaning so do the shelves. Well done! You might put the container with the brushes to the mirror tray 🤔. There would be an item less on the counter. I should tidy up my make up too 🙊.
Letting your beauty shine through! I am stuck inside this week due to the heat , so I am going over all expenses, a little every day, so not so scary for me. I am a senior senior and have only the basics in my bath, not like when I was young. My towels are all new , and just plain white. Looks so pretty nicely folded on the shelves. Why is it that I am the only one to toss empties , restock, or refill? Clear space is so much easier to clean! Easy dinner of baked chicken and ready made slaw and potato salad, biscuits. Taking the easy way out in this heat. I sorted out the first aid box that is kept in the bath and made sure we were supplied. Why do people just leave empty band aid wrappers in the box?
After I watched this, I went and replaced the toothbrushes , razors, and washed all combs and hairbrushes.
Awe, you are so right!! And yes, it’s pretty hot here too!! Phew, stay cool in this heat wave!!!!
A Hoarder's Heart Went through my few fall / halloween decor items. All is good. Alan got the box down for me
If this isn't your own sink, consider experimenting leaving one body spray out for the week(out by make up) and you can switch it out each week and the rest put in the drawer. This way, the right side only has the crystals.
I love how you say 'tossy-tossy' just so you know how I feel and being minimal I just can't keep anything out in the open in the bathroom, too much for me to handle. Also just knowing that toilet water particles spray every flush. I just get so grossed out.
I didn’t realized that...toilet water particles spray when you flush. I’m pretty good at putting the lid down so I’ll really have to be mindful of that!!! Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
@@ahoardersheart yes. I always put the lid down, but when I found out I moved my toothbrush lol.
I love that blue sink too💕💙😘
The bathroom still looks pretty. My vanity is more cluttered than yours. Perhaps, I should go and work on it now. 😆
Love seeing the progress from when you first started. One day there will be no hoarding videos and just cleaning up the hot spots! :D
I think you should copyright "TOSSYTOSSY" if possible. These two words are my new motto when decluttering!! You just make me smile when you say them lol.
HI ITS O.K.
JUST STAY ON IT
YOU DOING A GREAT JOB
😍😍😍😍😍😍
DETROIT MICHIGAN LOVES YOUR CHANNEL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A BLESSED DAY
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
❤💚💚💛💜💙💛💚❤💜💙💜❤💚💙💛
THERE’S MY BEAUTIFUL BLESSED DETROIT MICHIGAN ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Well done you . Can I just give you one tip keep makeup brushes and toothbrush in a draw or cabinet , spray from the loo when flushed is in the air and needs to land somewhere.
when speed cleaning sections last week my partner pointed out that I now use the Tossy-Tossy phrase all the time now 😂🥰
Aw, you’re really pretty! Love your videos x
Wow you are a brave person. I wish you grate sucess with you journey. Best whishes from Germany.
It's so fun to hear your cute voice come out of your cute face! Haha! Go you!
Your so beautiful 😍 I so enjoy your videos you are so inspiring
Awe!!!! You keep me inspired with your encouraging message!!! You are such a good friend to me, thank you ❤️🙏🏻❤️
9k subscribers, yesss !!!
Aurorine Zori I know how exciting!!! Our loving family is growing!!! I love how we keep each other encouraged!!!
You threw away that Ulta bag like it was nothing!!! In your old videos that would have been a struggle!!! Go you!
You did a great job and ssssooooooo quickly, well done 👏👏👏
Thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I'm the same with the ADHD/ADD! I call it "squirreling" and I do it a lot!!
lol!! Oh my goodness that’s perfect!! 🤣 🐿
I have it too!
Either way 😎 \😀 I love your videos - but it's really nice to see your beautiful smiling face. I have a Hoarder 's brain. I am pretty sure I was born this way. I can remember picking junk out of the bulk trash pile early in the morning before they came to haul it away - as a CHILD. A young child - single digits. It's hard changing a lifetime 's mindset. You are inspiring and doing an awesome job. I definitely have OCD too. Baby steps. TFS 😊
Great job on the up keep!
November 2023. You've made so much progress. You could save $$ by not buying makeup for a year. Tina, Al's wife
It must be akward for you at first, but just try to say no to those little (useless let's be honest) plastic bags
that bag is so small you can either put the product you bought in your purse (i'm sure you must have quite a big handbag - mama struggle imma right?-) or hold it in your hand until you reach your car/home
that way, you're not scattering plastic bags with brand new things everywhere in your lovely house that you'll immediately forget, AND you're reducing, at your level, your usage of plastic !
PS : you really are a beautiful bride omg that picture
Yes, you are so right!! I’ve done great reducing plastic bag waste at grocery stores, Target, etc. I had a moment of weakness at Ulta & Sephora bc I felt happy shopping there again carrying their bag with my new goodies! I know, that’s false of happiness and I’m changing that mindset for the better 🧡💛🧡💛
I remember watching the first time you made this video 😊
I think I'll take a note from your book but instead of starting with the smallest room, I'll start with the smallest box. I'm back at my parents home and I get overwhelmed going though my belongings I packed away 2 years ago.
You should totally plant lavender in your yard under a window. Good job on throwing away the boxes. Just create a new habit of throwing away the box the minute you take an item out and find a home for that item.
How about a no bag challenge for the month of August? I love that Bobby Brown Cream (but wow is it pricey). Also how can we help you getting new stuff put away without the boxes when it comes into the house? Going to watch on of the first bathroom. Videos to cheer you on.
Nice job. A Big difference from the first time. But i thought you would have tossed more than just the trash? One nail polish in, one nail polish out 😊❤️❤️❤️
Lol!!! I’m going to do a KonMari Method on all the makeup!! I’ll be throwing more things than just trash on that episode in August!! Thank you my sweetest friend 💖💖💖
My house looks like that daily! Lol doing a great job
Lol!!!
I laugh every time you say "Honey"
🤣🤣🤣 🍯
You’ve come a long way . Great 👍🏼.
don’t get too critical of the dust!! this happens to me a lot but it’s always my makeup dust LOL. also that wet n wild crease brush is a life saver!! i have 6 because i use them so much !!
Lol!!! Right!!! Those wet n Wild brushes work sooooo good!!! We don’t need those $30 brushes!! Lol
Hello it’s me again once again it looks great and your doing great have a great week and day
Thank you so so much my sweet friend 💜🦄💜
You're crystals are so pretty!
The Tahiti pink Lily and Bamboo spray is my FAVORITE from Bath and Body. I was so sad when they discontinued it. I bought 10 bottles of the body spray, the body lotion, and 5 bottles of the hair refresher. My number 1 what I always have on. Don't know what I'll do when I use what I have up 😔
Right!!!! The tears are real!!! They are my favorite!!
We must be connected i was looking for a video from you and there it was u popped up 💜
Me too!!!
Lol!!! We sure all 💛🧡💛🧡 We’re all connected in this journey!!
Don't worry about it. Everybody needs to revisit and redeclutter already decluttered spaces once in a while. 😉 Btw I am with you on the crystals. They are beauties. Definitely no minimalism there. 😂
Right!!! Crystals make me so happy!! They are just do beautiful 💗
I'm so happy to see your face😘😘😘
My bath would look like that also only I have my cool notebook to remind me to clean about once a month, Flylady style. But I don't work, which Is a huge time eater.
Yesss! I need a control journal that Flylady mentions!! Once I’m part-time again, that should open up more free time!!
