  • This is how I stay clutter-free! I regularly declutter every month. As I go through my home I gather things we don't need when I see them and by the end of the month, I make sure they leave my house. By doing this it helps us to stay more minimal and clutter-free. Today my mom is joining us to talk about what she is decluttering too. I hope you have a great day.

    "I don't feel good when I wear it." You hit the nail on the head. It sounds so simple, yet decluttering clothing can be so hard, so complicated. I'm going to use that key question, "Do I feel good wearing it?" when I go through my wardrobe from now on. It doesn't matter how much I paid for an item or if it was a gift or how in style it may be, or what it looks like on other people. It has to work for me or it's gone!

      This is what really helps me. I see so many videos sped up with music and it doesn’t help me when I am doing my own decluttering. I am finding I skip those sped up videos now.

    Just happened upon you ladies!
    !My mom's been gone 31 years
    - I still have her old pink and green plastic rollers and hot rollers too!
    I love you mom but I might have to stop being so sentimental and let them go - ouch!
    Love you and miss you mom!
    Thanks ladies
    - it's so nice to see a mother and daughter working together.

    Hot rollers!!! Why didn't I ever think to declutter those??? I think we get it into our heads that certain items are staples and don't even realize that we haven't used them in decades and that we don't need them. Thank you for the motivation to declutter my bathroom closet!

    Hi Shannon!
    I just want to tell a story that happened with me earlier this week. :)
    The last few weeks I started to declutter. I collected everything to a quite big IKEA box. I didn't really think of what I will do these things after I put everything to the box, I just knew I didn't need them anymore. It was a really good advice from you! This way is much faster for me. So I collected things to the box and this Monday the box was full and I decided that I will put out the box to the street in front of the house. I only put out a few things and if there was some space I brought out more. That's my way of getting rid of stuff XD. The truth is I like the see sometimes from the window who likes my stuff and take them. For example a family with a little girl stopped and they liked my old earrings (they were shiny). I think the earrings were little treasures for the little girl. So cute!
    On Wednesday I put out a few clothes which were in good condition but I didn't wear them for ages. At one point the whole box disappeared! Somebody must really liked everything! XD
    I liked it a lot but now I need a new box to put out to the street again. The funny thing is this way people take everything, like broken bowls, old pots and pans, old mugs.
    I usually watch or just listen your videos when I am cleaning , organizing or decluttering! Thank you for your work!
    Love from London, UK!

    Hi Shannon amd Cathy, from Australia. Since I last commented I've got rid of TWO more garbage bags of clothes. I'm updating the bedroom furniture, moved out a huge wardrobe and chest, replacing with a much smaller dresser and tallboy. We had mould in that room and the furniture has got a bit musty. The new furniture is much easier to clean behind. And it will all match, its my 50th birthday present to myself. Hubby and I have a big bag each of clothes that are in the "waiting room", i will go throigh those again when we have time. Hubby just finished cleaning out his mother's huge house so his decluttering muscles are getting so good, which is amazing considering they're a family of hoarders. It really is all about letting go!

    You two are always so refreshing to watch. ❤️ I love the decluttering and always the why's. I remember my son getting holes in his pants when he was young. It was so hard to find used ones without the holes. Lol. Kathy, I still use that same Tupperware spaghetti holder, except I have the pink cover. I absolutely understand about the clothes. .see through, elastic that's given out, just doesn't feel good, etc. I seriously hate buying clothes. Number one, I don't like most of the styles out there right now, not enough solid colors-only too many designs that go out of style by the next year. I hate wasting money on items that may not last, fit oddly, poor quality, etc. It seems so hard to find good clothes these days. I would love to watch a live declutter! You two are just awesome! I hope you enjoy your day and thank you for another great video.

    I have hot rollers that I haven’t used in over 10 years 😅 I’m decluttering those now 🎉 thank you so much for the motivation and I would love for y’all to do a live stream, that would be so much fun.

    Hi Shannon and Cathy! Love your videos. I just laughed about the hot rollers as I kept mine and actually used them for years after high school but finally let them go as curling iron so much easier. I am loving the garage declutter - giving me motivation to get mine done! ❤

    I personally don't like livestreams & skip them even when they're my favourite utubers. I just wait for the next video. My opinion only. I know lots of people like them.😊

      I thought it would be a fun way to interact with everyone, but I completely understand if you are not into them. =)

    Enjoyed watching you and Mom while making the bed and folding my old holey underwear.

    Shannon great video. Amazing how those monthly quick look throughs can identify unused items. Cathy...looks like most of those clothes are too too big for you! You look better than ever!

    You're both so inspirational!❤
    I love all your garage decluttering videos! I'm still catching up, but do you do under the bed storage? As a new minimalist, I'm letting it go!

      I don't store anything under my bed, but I do utilize the kids bed for lego storage. They use it all the time so I guess it's not really storage though.
