I just paused this video,stood up and threw away a filthy , very old hair brush I was carrying for years in my purse that i take at work every day. I had a brand new hair brush in the bathroom drawer being unused and collecting dust! Thank you so much for reminding. i was always embarrassed of that old brush but always forgot to take action!
I want to add to this list: Gloves with holes Broken storage containers Food storage containers with missing lids Missmatched cutlery (if you have enough) Mugs with cracks Vases that are too small or too big That book you started reading but didn't like Worn out pyjamas (especially when they have holes) Towels with stains (animal shelters love to take towels and blankets!) Cables for electronics you don't have anymore or broken cables (recycle if possible in your area) Random trash you find along the way (wrappers, tissues, price tags, opened envelopes) Biscuit tins that don't close properly Accessories for things you no longer have - could be parts of something, but also things like trah bags that are too small or too big for your new trash can Decor you never really cared for Candles you don't like the smell of an candle holders you don't like - they seem to multiply! Fridge magnets Redundant hangers Pens that don't work or don't work well Cleaning supplies you hate Last but not least: Always take out the trash and do the small thing you stumble across. Make the phone call, write the email, hang the picture on the wall, list the thing on eBay, put the shirt in the laundry hamper, make the note in your calender, unload the dishwasher, put the clothes away. Acting on those small things is the best clutter prevention.

I’m glad this video was about decluttering the easy things, not the difficult sentimental things! I often hang on to “important” documents that seem important at the time, then a few months later no longer have any value. Decluttered!
When you mentioned broken crayons, I remembered making scribble cookies. You grate the crayons and put a variety of colors together in a muffin tin, then melt it in the oven. Take it out to cool then pop it out and you have some one-of-a-kind crayons. I have also heard of using crayons for color in your candles.

We have a little tote for "used" batteries that we use for holidays. Christmas and Halloween decorations use them easy. Once they get taken out of the decorations, they get recycled.
As a creative, I've used nail polish for marbling - you can create amazing results! Old toothbrushes are useful for cleaning around fiddly areas like taps. Great video, thanks!
I’m definitely guilty of the frozen food. I always think I will eat it soon, but then it is left for another couple of months. I just feel guilty to throw away food 🥺. But you are right...I will defrost my freezer this month and throw away the food that is in there already for too long 😊. Thanks ❤
Lol. I usually cook whatever was frozen (for God only knows how long lol) and “taste test” it. 😅😅. Most times it’s all fine. There were only a few times that it didn’t taste so good but never made anyone sick. Other times it’s at least good enough for cat treats (meats anyways). Then if they don’t eat it, the raccoons or strays prob will. 😂😂 It was really surprising to me how long some of that stuff lasted and was just fine. Lol.
My top load washer has a little drawer at top of barrel where you pull out and pour the detergent in, do i put the tru earth there or in the barrel ontop of clothes?

I use my coffee cup warmer to melt all the candle wax that the wick doesn’t get.

Way to go Sara 🙌 One small win at a time.

You can do it 🙌 And if you separate defrosting your freezer from the decluttering, you could achieve a quick win within 5 minutes!
@@MiaDanielle Thanks, I will do it tomorrow.
Great video! I enjoy them while cleaning because it gets me motivated to de cluttering as I’m cleaning lol. 😅 ❤
I so love to hear that Kat 🙌 Keep on decluttering and getting to the space you always dreamed of 🥰
Same :)
Welcome Chloe!! I missed her arrival...thx for this concise, helpful, encouraging video, Mia.
I hold on to boxes for 1 year. Easy to return if needed.
Low hanging fruit is key❤
Thank you! I was able to discard 8 items while watching the video!
Everything I want to hear ☝️ Glad this video brought inspired action to you!
I like your organization racks in your spice drawer!
Omg brushes... guilty. And the cheap earbuds. Finally sprung for the Apple ones... was so worth it!
Haha and I hope that the cheap ones hit the trash?
@@MiaDanielle I actually went through that drawer yesterday and passed by them... again... throwing them out now! Thanks for the push!
I LOVE True Earth! I’ve been using them for a couple years. I could never go back to the big plastic jugs!!!!
We've been using them for quite a while too! They are the BEST! And no more nasty laundry rings 😂

It’s all the little things!
Good list 👍
Where is the PDF file?
My top load washer has a little drawer at top of barrel where you pull out and pour the detergent in, do i put the tru earth there or in the barrel ontop of clothes?
In the barrel on top of the clothes! It will dissolve.
food your pet doesn't like
extra pet food bowls
pet shampoo w a fragrant you dislike
napkins, utensils from take out
also soy sauce/ taco sauce packets
markers/pens that skip
old linens/t-shirts that you are unlikely to cut up for rags
plastic containers from fast food or frozen extras
promotional cups/frisbees, t-shirts
old perfume
Some great additional ideas 🙌
