There is something so satisfying about watching people declutter. I am pretty much done with decluttering, but I am always motivated when watching others.
2023 was my purge year! I donated 8 packed-to-the-brim loads in my 3-row SUV of clothes, household goods, furniture, and kids stuff. We uprooted our lives and moved over 2,000 miles away with just 300 cubic feet of stuff as a family of 4. It was so nice to be liberated of all the unused items! We definitely had to spend a good chunk of $ repurchasing furniture when we got here, but it's nice to start fresh!
You mentioned the bench for things you want to wear again before washing: I always hang those things back up and keep at the end of the hanging space. Why make messy piles and let things get wrinkled?
It is spring in Australia so I was watching this for some spring-cleaning motivation. Girl I just purged 2 bags. I had no idea so much crap was so well hidden in my wardrobe.
This was SO satisfying. I now want to go thru my closet and be ruthless! I want to feel 100% in every clothing piece I own. And if I don’t then it’s gone!
Oh my goodness. That first part when you said mom life, you take care of everyone before you…I’m right there with you! I’d much rather clean any part of my house and organize my little one’s clothes before tackling my own. Mommas unite haha
I’m in the same boat. I started my declutter back in 2017, but since then I been working on concentrating in replacing items with better quality items. For me Decluttering has been such a long process, but also because I think currently there’s lots of more information than when I started. And more motivation with channels like yours.
Been wanting to do a closet purge as well so this gave me the motivation! I have items I haven’t worn in years but once I get rid of it I feel like ill need it
You could have a “maybe” box stored away, out of sight. If you truly remember it and dig it out, it’s a keeper. After a while just donate the box if nothing is pulled out.
Life is too short to be ironing. If you have to have things super neat, get a handheld steamer. It accomplishes the same thing but in a fraction of the time. Great video!
I have donated so much clothes and shoes in the last few months. I still have more t-shirts to go through. And also decluttered my paperwork, miscellaneous and memorabilia stuff.
As a minamilist with an actual capsule wardrobe, stick to a style. for you I'm guessing it would be blue jeans and blazers. Edit out the stuff that does not fit that style. Yes you can have the random dress or so, but if you're not buying it because you see yourself wearing it, its sitting in your closet decaying, You can't tell yourself 'no i'm gonna wear that eventually' if you want to downsize a wardrobe. I read in a fashion magazine when i was a child 'pick a staple item of clothing, pick a staple accessory, pick a staple scent. They will matter way more than you know.' I've LIVED by that motto. Now It's always jeans and a hoodie, a black backpack (I made a fashion trend) and either coconut or pumpkin spice. People KNOW me by this. :) (aside from when i wear scrubs, you can't do anything there)
Thank you for sharing this. My bedroom floor is like this. Even worse this week because I was sick. I wish I can be as ruthless as you when decluttering the house. I am not as, brave. I was a little shock but how your closet looked but, like you said prerviously, life happens and you can't always keep it as neat as you wanted. And through your videos, we only see little aspects of it :)
You got this girl! Love how everything turned out. My whole house needs some serious decluttering and organizing. Currently at the office thinking I should be home cleaning lol. Love your comfy outfit btw 🥰
Great job! Only keep what you really really want and love! Oh! And can actually fit! 😅So many of us, myself included hold on to clothing we hope to wear again but never due. Someone else could be in joying what we just let sit in our closet and go out of style. Your closet looks fantastic! ❤🙏🏽👍🏽🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I was thinking maybe you could organize shoe and boots on the shelves in the same area, all your bags on the other shelf area. So, you can see all of them at once.
1 thing you could do is keep a steamer in your laundry space with your hangers. So, you can steam your laundry before you take it to your closet. Isn’t shouldn’t be embarrassing, because you are Mama, with a Full Time job. That’s just life sometimes. I had to hire a cleaning lady come help me clean, but now my home is clean with all my laundry done. 🧺 Are you going to have your sweatshirts top to bottom stacked, being seen like that, or you going to have them like a file system, like you have in the drawers on those shelves? Were you able to make room for Chad’s items?
Girl. This makes me feel sooo seen! Haha my closet is a bit worse than this and it’s a walk in too. Gives me so much anxiety. I’m slowly starting to work on it. But I have 2 kids under 3 so I don’t get much time.
Hi hope your ok, you have done a great job, we all sometimes times put ourselves on the back burner and make sure everyone else is sorted , think it's a women thing x
Found you by accident over the holidays and have now watched all your videos from your ‘move’ to present. Loving what you’ve done to make your house a HOME🏡 Great job on the closest! I was thinking- once the laundry room rod installed - you may want to store your extra hangers in there. Will save you a lot of time 😊
ETA I’m going to a baby shower tomorrow and I’m so glad I saved this dress from like 2014 (because I never got a good photo in it) sooooo I’m saving money by hoarding? #girlmath
Can I ask a question, please declutering while filming, did it give you more motivation to do it ? . I need a total house decluter but I have so many beautiful things it's hard for me too do but I'm in a home with no storage cupboards not even for a hoover
Oh my gosh girl! I'm the same way with my own clothes!!!! I am a mom of two and I too would rather make sure everyone else's clothes are tidy and put away 🤦♀️💕 love your video!!!
I share part of our closet with my husband. So I can’t keep things on the floor. He may trip over shoes and boots. But he hasn’t said anything. I do keep clothes all over the cedar chest at the bottom of our bed. I clean it off every once in a while. And it needs to be done now. Good luck with the bench in your closet.
You did an amazing job and motivated me a lot. I decluttered and donated almost all of my daughter's small clothes but there are so many toys...I must get things done. Thank you for the motivation and I wish you all the best. P.S. My daughter and you wear the same name ❤
I would LOVE to be someone with a basic wardrobe. It would make live so much more easy. But since I feel like I'm always in between sizes it's hard. Gained 7 kilos since covid, now lost 2kilos again.. I'm scared that I will never have clothes that fit properly.
This isnt konmari folding :/ The way marie kondo folds the items are that they can stand upright by themselves. The idea behind is yes, so you see what you have but the clothes souldnt rely on other items or drawers or so which prevent them from falling to the side. :/
Dang the Kamari method has been 6 years hasn’t it omg 😱 where does time go I still fold and organize like her too 😂and I color correct to like the home edit lol omg my ocd is real 😂😂😂
WOWWWW 😮 U DID AN AMAZING JOB ON DECLUTTERING UR CLOSET .GREAT JOB 👍THXS FOR SHAREING LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING UR NEXT VIDEO MUCH APPRECIATED N MUCH LOVE ❤
Scusami se mi permetto di dirtelo ma non condivido il fatto che tu prenda i tuoi vestiti dal pavimento e li appenda in cabina armadio...lo trovo poco igienico...😅
There's something so special about your videos, it truly shows how much time, dedication and effort you put into them. No matter what you post, you make it magical 🥹 You’re the only TH-camr/content creator who has and always been authentic🤍 Keep being your beautiful self Alexandra! Appreciate you so much 🌸
POV: I want everything to be perfect and organized at all times but.. life happens!!!
Can’t wait to watch 🥰
💯
I have the same situation in my closet. My excuse is 2 kids and crazy life lately. Your video is just what I needed.
I wish I could take all those clothes you got rid of😭😅🩷
@@HerrerataliI can relate!! Good video

This was me last week! I completely cleaned out my closet and got rid of most of my clothes. I’m now investing in quality vs. quantity ❤
Omg yayyyy! 💖
Yes declutter and buy more …..keep the cycle going
This was SO satisfying. I now want to go thru my closet and be ruthless! I want to feel 100% in every clothing piece I own. And if I don’t then it’s gone!
I love the idea of ironing everything before putting it in the closet ✨

See so happy you find my content motivating! Getting rid of stuff really does take time. We all have a lot going on. 🫶🏼😊😊
You should put hooks on the back of the door for used clothes instead of putting it on the bench. It will look neater
Good idea!
@@NancyThecheerfulheart yes, that is a great idea and use the bench for sitting to put on your shoes! 👠
@@SimplyAlexandra yes, that is a great idea and use the bench for sitting to put on your shoes!👠
Yes I'm 3 weeks in and 60 bin bags have left my life Honestly not missing a thing WHY didn't I do this sooner Tx ladies Love from Yorkshire England xx
That’s so amazing!!
That looked so nice and aesthetically pleasing!!!!! Thank you for being vulnerable and real!!!
You are so welcome! 💖💖💖💖
Yes!!!! Less is better!! It's easier to clean. Less brain fog and more clarity!!!!💞💞
Mothers always put others first, I always have too. This year I'm going to take care of ME better 😁❤️
Yessss so glad to hear that! 💖
Been wanting to do a closet purge as well so this gave me the motivation!
I have items I haven’t worn in years but once I get rid of it I feel like ill need it
Totally get this! I used to feel like that too. Thank you for watching!! 💖
You could have a “maybe” box stored away, out of sight. If you truly remember it and dig it out, it’s a keeper. After a while just donate the box if nothing is pulled out.
Love decluttering videos! Something so refreshing about them
I'm so glad!
Love this top on you! You’re glowing girl! ❤
Thank you so much 😀

That is awesome! 💖
I Can Relate! What you said- mom taking care of everyone else first, that's what this is!
I cleaned out.my wardrobe yesterday ..and declutterd looks so much better ...also decluttered my room too ...
So cathartic! Q: have you thought of installing a pocket door instead of a traditional door? I feel like it would open up the space even more!

You ALWAYS motivate me. I don’t know how you are able to do all this with young ones at home and you work too? I’m ALWAYS so exhausted.
Thanks girl!! Trying my best 😊🫶🏼

I would suggest hooks for items you will re-wear. The bench is lovely for sitting and dressing, but flat surfaces only accumulate clutter.
do you know what closet system this is? I’d love to get these in our new closet!
I would love a link to the nails you mentioned
Hi there! On my amazon page, ig highlights, and ltk! 💖💖💖

Your cabinets and shelves are really pretty! Love all the pastel colors
Thank you so much! 💖
I learned the konmari method from you and taught it my mom after that. I still do it to this day too 😍
That makes me so happy! 💖
Hi hope your ok, you have done a great job, we all sometimes times put ourselves on the back burner and make sure everyone else is sorted , think it's a women thing x
Totally agree thank you! 💖
Great job decluttering and curating your wardrobe but you got rid of 10% of your closet not "everything"
Your makeup looks incredible in the intro! We need an updated makeup routine from you 😍
Wow thank you so much!!
Do you ever miss your other closets in your last home? I absolutely loved them. Of course, your new closet is lovely too.
Sometimes! 💖💖
This was so motivating for me to work on my closet , life happens family comes first as long as you had some time to work on it now
You got this!
That soft peach you seem to like is the 2024 Pantone color of the year. Congrats! 🎉
Omg yayyyyy 💖
Hi Alexandra! I did the same a few days ago. It feels so good to organize the closet. 😊😘
Awe yayyy! 💖
Found you by accident over the holidays and have now watched all your videos from your ‘move’ to present. Loving what you’ve done to make your house a HOME🏡 Great job on the closest!

Love this inspired me to get my closets on order
I am the same!!! My room is always left to the last thing to clean and I have an excessive amount of clothing 😬
ETA I’m going to a baby shower tomorrow and I’m so glad I saved this dress from like 2014 (because I never got a good photo in it) sooooo I’m saving money by hoarding? #girlmath
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Aww my fav kind of video. Turned out so good and love the chair
Can I ask a question, please declutering while filming, did it give you more motivation to do it ? . I need a total house decluter but I have so many beautiful things it's hard for me too do but I'm in a home with no storage cupboards not even for a hoover
It definitely does - but it also takes a lot longer. I love to motivate you guys! 💖
Oh my goodness! That was soooo inspirational!!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💖

Please let me know the name of the nails you were talking about. I couldn’t find them linked below. Thank you so much.
Hey! I just shared them in my Amazon video! First thing I talk about. 😊😊
why is a vacuumed carpet so satisfying? It's not even my carpet.
Oh my gosh girl! I'm the same way with my own clothes!!!! I am a mom of two and I too would rather make sure everyone else's clothes are tidy and put away 🤦♀️💕 love your video!!!

Loved this so much!!
Great mom & taking care of family 😅
Thank you 😊
Amazing!! I love how colorful and bright your clothes are! 🤍 💕💜Just beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!!
If clothes don't smell, and I am going to wear again before washing I just hang it back up. If it smells, it will get thrown in the hamper.
Great job. Tons of motivation n tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Loved this decluttering video !! Thanks !!
You are so welcome!
Great video. Everything looked so nice and organized in your closet.

This is my first time here but did you check the dirty laundry basket for clothing you may of missed?
flashlight, fire extinguisher, batteries, radio, extra food/water, first aid kit
Good job with the closet clean up and decluttering 😍

Good idea, thank you! 💖
Hey TH-cam bestie 😊....it looks great👏🏾 I need to do the same my closet looks like Macy's rack exposed in there🫨😩😂
Hi Irene! You know I've been there girl. You got this! 💖
I wonder why we do that I'm the same my bedroom and close comes last on attention 😊

Hooks for purses and bags on the sides of your shelving might work.
Great idea!

Great project. Donating same day cuts down on chances you'll change your mind lol. I rarely do it same day, but that is best. Great video.
Thank you so much! 💖
Would've been nice to see what you actually let go of.
I have 10x that amount of clothes and no closet space. I really need to declutter too.
Purging is scary and rewarding! Does anyone else look at her closet and feel bad that hubby only has one little area?
lol he has more in other areas and couldn’t care less 😅💖

It seems just getting through the holidays I look at the everyday and wonder what happened to my systems. Lol
It did actually motivate me. I need to throw or donate soooo much stuff.
I Am A Silent Watcher, I Absolutely Love Your Videos. Your Home Is Gorgeous !!!
Thank you so much!
Perfect 🥰 💞
Thanks for the motivation to be ruthless on my wardrobe…just get rid of clothes that I’ve had for years and just not my style anymore
