My Newest Decluttering Video: ruclips.net/video/UFEsdTInmd4/видео.html Hey All! So glad so many of you are looking out for me and the planet! I've gotten several messages about what to do with my "trash" clothing that is too tattered or damaged to be donated to Goodwill. There are several stores that will take these old clothes and underwear to RECYCLE and give you a coupon to shop in their store after in return!! Here are some stores that help you recycle old textiles & what they give you in return (call ahead cause some are temporarily postponed due to covid): H&M: 15% off coupon in store North face: $10 off $100 purchase Zara: they just take it off your hands and it was you good deed of the day! Madewell: they will recycle old denim and you'll get a $20 off coupon for a new pair of jeans
Have you thought of a theme like ( favorite colors, i.e. red, white and blue)? ROY G BIV is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. ( "Clean House"- Patricia or tricia(sp.)) Linda Coopersmith was their organizer for closets( also works in Beverly Hills, doing same.) Makes you wonder if an organizer would be what makes you feel special( she with no ego, says!)
Hey Mai trying my hand on redoing my closet. Where did you get your cube storage bins with dividers. I looked through your posts to see if you added them but didn't see them. Could you shoot me the link?? Thanks! Love your videos! Keep up the great work!!
I stopped allowing myself to buy new hangers about a year ago and honestly it has been THE BEST deterrent for adding more crap to my wardrobe without removing something else first. If I break a hanger, it's one less clothing item I get to own.
After I did my side of the closet, my husband was legit jealous. "Your side looks like a fancy store!" Lol. The very next day, I helped him with his side.
Same! Was pleasantly surprised that some fitted tshirt finally fit right (somehow the ribcage expansion made up for my narrow shoulders that let the shirt droop before) and others that frankly looked too...childish and petite were officially outgrown, and that much easier to let go. Don't forget pants. Hips did some interesting shifting after having kids too, lol.
Yess, after carrying 2 big boys in my hips, 8lb 14oz and 11lb, I actually have hips and look like a woman now lol I wouldn't even want to go back to my size 6 body even if I could!
That was a wonderful decluttering video. It’s amazing how little we really need to function and look good. I pared down my closet by 3/4 and go through regularly so it doesn’t build up again. I donate and recycle what I don’t want. You’re right to only keep what fits your lifestyle now. Color co-ordination helps to streamline more. Live with what you have for a while. Spread the hung items out more so you can see what you have and give them breathing space. Put a donate bin in your closet and put things in as soon as you decide don’t want them anymore. It’s a wonderful feeling to have a functional closet. Over 5 years, Marie Kondo and Alejandra Costello have been my inspirations as well as women like you. Many thanks.
Enjoyed your video !I agree nothing really sparks joy except keepsakes of kids stuff ...my clutter is from the ' scarcity / insecurity'mindset like everything must be saved just in case..its not really about 'joy'for me
Every time I watch a declutter video or a hoarders episode, I find something to trash or donate. Even as a minimalist. It is scary what we humans can collect.
I'm lucky to have had personal experience, my dad was a compulsive hoarder and when I died I had to sort his house out. Now I know I don't want to be ruled by stuff. I don't want to be a minimalist either, so to speak, but I never want to leave that level of junk for those I leave behind. We accumulate enough ordinarily, let alone that.
Wow! Your closet is HUGE! I have a small house (built in 1957) and it has small closets. It made me laugh when you showed your after. My initial thought was "She still has so many tops!" and right after that thought passed through my brain you said, "I'm like starting to get worried, like what am I going to wear now?" It's all a matter of perspective. No judgement, btw! You do you. You did an amazing job of decluttering your closet and I'm so happy you had donate/recycle/sell/repurpose piles at the end. It does make me sad when people declutter and mostly throw things in the trash. Very well done. You should be proud. Also, thanks for highlighting the ways to recycle clothing. I didn't know several stores would take damaged clothes. I'm so happy to have learned that!
I did my bedroom closet. I didn’t put everything on the bed though, I found that to be to much for me !!! I just started going through the items on the hangers one at a time. No mess !!!! A box for Keep / Donate . It worked out well. Closet done and looks great !!!
I can so relate to the pre-kid clothes! I used to wear size 8 easily, b4 kids (they’re millennials now). Only last year did the kon mari method help me get rid of them-by finally realizing the size 8 bikinis were stressing me out by looking at them-knowing I’ll never get back to that size no matter how much I workout. It’s not fair, idk why our bodies have to change so much while men pretty much get to stay the same. 💁🏾
I love how real you are about your changed body shape. It is refreshing to see somebody who can accept that things change and holding onto things from the past is not always the smart thing to do. Whether by age, kids, or both it is worth doing this type of cull for the peace it does bring. Good vid!
Love this. I go through everything in our house 2 times a year because we don't have hardly any storage in our home. I just recently did my dresser and am about to do my closet this week.
Wow! Good job. Its the first time i've ever sat through a decluttering video and actually finished it. You made it look feasible as opposed to daunting. 👍
You did a great job. I actually like not having a ton of clothes. My home is the opposite of yours. We have no closets except 1 in my kids room. So EVERY piece of clothing I own fits in my dresser. I think once your hubby sees how neat, clean, and organized your side is he will take the time to do his side and maybe ask u for your expertise. Plus u will be able to get dressed faster and easier.
AWESOME CLOSET CLUTTERED or NOT CLUTTERED 😭♥️ I’m 26 wks, I purged too, I feel naked & bare w/out all my old lil college clothing too! More shopping excuses to start cluttering again! 🤪
When you wear something hanging up turn the hanger around facing the other way and if they are folded clothes that you wore put into a basket or tote and then after summer or winter or after 6 months go through and the one's you didn't wear your probably won't wear I did this and I got rid of almost half of my hanging stuff and 1 hole dresser drawer full of stuff that I was never wearing so you may want to try it
Thanks to your encouragement, I've decluttered my bathroom and vanity area. It looks so much better. Now I'm going to start the closet. I'm so scared, it's a huge job. Wish me luck. Thanks for the videos.
That sparcle joy isn't a thing for me either. But I can't put all clothes in a big pile, I keep feeling the things I'll keep will be wrinked. The last time I declutered my method was: 1 empty a drawer, clean it, put it back 2 pick each item and ask: do I like it? Does it fit me? Do I need this? 2a - the answer to all is yes - fold and put back in it's place. 2b - at least one answer is no I ask again: can I sell it? Yes - fold and put in sell bag. No: can I repurpose it? Yes - repurpose bag. No: Is it good eneugh to donate? Yes - fold and put in donate bag. No - put in trash bag. 3 do the same on the next drawer. 4 do the same in the wardrobe but by type, take out all blouses choose and hang back the ones I need, do the same for skirts, trousers, dresses, and jackets. 5 - take out the sell items and take photos, take the donate bag(s) to the car, take the repurpose one(s) to the sewing machine table, take the trash to the trash. And I do it in a day also because the bags never leave the bed.
This is a great modification! I read in her book that if the sheer volume is too overwhelming, or space/time constraints, you can totally do it by drawers or subcategory (sock, tshirts, long sleeve, dresses, etc.)
I loved your vid,it gave me motivation since honestly I haven't decluttered clothes, like ever.... I still have clothes from when I was in my teens and size 0 pants lol. Only free time I have will be Friday otherwise I wouldn't be sleeping in my own bed until then and its only Monday lol. Thanks for motivating, I'll put more decluttering for more motivation on Friday. BTW I love your personality and your hubby is so sweet to bring you some food and hopefully he declutters his side!
I can't pull everything out the closets it's overwhelming I rather pull a armful out and do a little bit in each room every day ...I enjoy listening to these videos while I'm working &this one is really good 🥰
I’m working on declutting my closet. You are so right you have to be ready to declutter your closet which means get rid of clothes, giveaway some, and up cycle. Great job I hope I can clear mine out like yours wish me luck.
if you dont wanna mess with the good clothes but ones you dont wanna keep, count them up, take a pic of a doz of them, and put 1-4 $ on each, selling the whole box at once. OR give to a women's shelter, children's home for the teens, or similar... yes you did a great job!
If you remember, haha, use a moveable clothing rack or something similar to hang the hangers on as soon as you take an item of clothing off. Just have it to the side of you :) Also i would suggest labeling the fabric bins
I am so glad that someone else besides me has a color/size hanger separation preference. I only hang my clothes on a certain type and color of hanger and the lesser ones I put on my husband’s side of the closet.
I have a ton of hangers left too...now I am finding I want to fill them again, but am enjoying the new space in my closet so much I have not! I am thinking of donating a bunch just so the temptation is not there. Nice job on your closet, and being realistic about things that no longer fit!
Hey I just finished watching your video for the first time so if you keep this kind of stuff up I'll be watching you more often cuz you did it the right way you didn't look at do I does it Spike Joy or something like that I can't do that either my clothes if I wear them I like them if I don't I forgot so yeah all right thanks for sharing..
I'm planning on tackling my kids clothes this week (may be even more than this)! won't be posted till next month tho probably cause it is always a LOT of footage to edit together when it is this massive of an undertaking lol
Thank you for a really useful video (totally agree - clothes don't 'spark joy' for me either! That's definitely connected with the more important/non material things in life! 👍😊)
It's always interesting to see how others live. I think I have a lot of clothes but it's probably only a fifth of what you have! For me, I would hang the jeans and fold the bras and store in drawers with dividers. To keep on top of your clothes clutter, a good rule is one on, one out. Same goes for other things like books and toys as well.
I haven't done this for probably 6-7 years and it's time, you've inspired me. Just as a heads up the last time I did this I found out you have to be so careful with selling if you use like a reseller like Plato's Closet, I brought a bunch of stuff and a lot of it, even if it was in great shape and even a few things had tags on, they said it's too old and they wouldn't take it. It's always worth checking that if that's the route you want to go, I forget their tips to check age of clothing but I'm sure it's online. I looked at it and thought this is a nice item, if I was still that smaller size I would buy it, not realizing apparently it was too dated. So just be careful...
i am about ready to do this. I think i might need too big of a bed! lol maybe i take it all out and put in ANOTHER ROOM completely out of my way, and then do it .. or someone like me would feel overwhelmed in the room i am trying to do.... I would still have to put out boxes according to sizes cause i have too many causes my size changed so much this past 18 months, Plus what you have out there too LOL What a job this is, but we have to jump in and do it, then THINK about having it do it all over again, every time you buy anything else. lol and KEEP a couple of tosses for crafts or cleaning purposes.
Oh ahah I loved the way that you said that it did not get you sparkles ahahah so true ! Thanks for not telling this bullshit that we hear allover, you're my hero !
Sincerely like when you say that it's easier to hang your clothes, why waist time......... just for that and the love clothes thing, I will follow you !
I feel you on not folding certain clothes. Since I just look after myself I have few enough clothes where I fold everything except underwear. Even if they get wrinkly they’re supposed to be form fitting so it stretches out over my body and you can’t see wrinkles anyway :-)
You did an awesome job!!! Where you hung your tops, you could go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a white melamine shelf, probably 16" wide and you could put it across the top of the brackets. That would give you a ton of nice storage in that space. You could do bags, or jewelry or something. Just a thought.
I love your way of you thinking lol as when I’m de cluttering my own stuff there’s no way I’m going to hold every item to see if it sparks joy I declutter and organize like this if it’s old and stretched out stained or ripped it goes if it still fits and seasoned clothes it stays I have 2 sock drawers one for heavy socks o no e for light ones I organize them in a row so easy to find . I’m glad I subscribed to your channel as you make decluttering and organization fun
Also, super proud of you! It looks great! ... now if only the other side matches :P My husband said he's going to KonMari his shoes this weekend. we'll see on that.
I’m inspired.......but luckily the feeling won’t last long 😰 Like you I had mainly work suitable clothes predominantly black suits and now can buy colours wheyyyyyyy🎇
An idea for you re. the hangers is, if you are ever doing a closet declutter again, then keep all the items on the hangers and then, once you h'ave discarded the items you don't want it will be so much easier to put what you are keeping back in your closet. Just an idea.
i JUST cleaned out my closet the other day lol but i recently moved into this house so it wasn’t really a huge deal, but hey there was a lot of unopened clothes boxes so i’m still proud
I did a declutter of my clothing about a year ago in hopes it'll encourage me to get laundry put away. But I have the problem that once its washed, I keep all the clean clothes in a basket for weeks. Even though decluttering didn't help in that aspect, at least I only have what I wear now. 😅😩 first world problems
@@MaiZimmy you are the most real of all the people i have watched doing this, even though you are not 100% following the konmari but still it was good. so funny, i laughed so hard a few times at your language and gestures. very real person and soooooooo pretty. i recommend this one to friends for sure
It's funny, you talking about the hangers....I've helped two friends and my sister clean out their closets. And I'm a little bit of a "nag" about what they do with the hangers as we sort. They probably think I'm crazy....but we all know that it's something we wish someone else had told us when we were decluttering. :-)

Hey All! So glad so many of you are looking out for me and the planet! I've gotten several messages about what to do with my "trash" clothing that is too tattered or damaged to be donated to Goodwill. There are several stores that will take these old clothes and underwear to RECYCLE and give you a coupon to shop in their store after in return!! Here are some stores that help you recycle old textiles & what they give you in return (call ahead cause some are temporarily postponed due to covid):
H&M: 15% off coupon in store
North face: $10 off $100 purchase
Zara: they just take it off your hands and it was you good deed of the day!
Madewell: they will recycle old denim and you'll get a $20 off coupon for a new pair of jeans
and Marine Layer takes tshirts and gives you credit!
Have you thought of a theme like ( favorite colors, i.e. red, white and blue)? ROY G BIV is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. ( "Clean House"- Patricia or tricia(sp.)) Linda Coopersmith was their organizer for closets( also works in Beverly Hills, doing same.) Makes you wonder if an organizer would be what makes you feel special( she with no ego, says!)
You can also ask yourself can you see yourself with it, in the future, her manga in my opinion explains it better then her book
Hey Mai trying my hand on redoing my closet. Where did you get your cube storage bins with dividers. I looked through your posts to see if you added them but didn't see them. Could you shoot me the link?? Thanks! Love your videos! Keep up the great work!!
Where do you get most of your clothes from mai 💗
I stopped allowing myself to buy new hangers about a year ago and honestly it has been THE BEST deterrent for adding more crap to my wardrobe without removing something else first. If I break a hanger, it's one less clothing item I get to own.
Yass! Declutter or repurpose all the extra hangers!
Same!!
The last time I got rid of hangers I donated them to a local charity.
The real purpose of putting all the clothing in one place is to show you how much you actually have...it is sobering!
After I did my side of the closet, my husband was legit jealous. "Your side looks like a fancy store!" Lol. The very next day, I helped him with his side.
Thank you for the “it’s never gonna fit” real talk. After kids, my rib cage actually got wider. Never going to be back to my pre-preggo size!
Same! Was pleasantly surprised that some fitted tshirt finally fit right (somehow the ribcage expansion made up for my narrow shoulders that let the shirt droop before) and others that frankly looked too...childish and petite were officially outgrown, and that much easier to let go.
Don't forget pants. Hips did some interesting shifting after having kids too, lol.
Yess, after carrying 2 big boys in my hips, 8lb 14oz and 11lb, I actually have hips and look like a woman now lol I wouldn't even want to go back to my size 6 body even if I could!
I noticed that the more I get rid of the less stressed I am! I’ve held onto shit for years !!!
That was a wonderful decluttering video. It’s amazing how little we really need to function and look good. I pared down my closet by 3/4 and go through regularly so it doesn’t build up again.

It really helps if you put hoarders on while you declutter lol at least for me it does! Love the end result nice work 👍🏼
😆😆 that’s a good idea!
Every time I watch a declutter video or a hoarders episode, I find something to trash or donate. Even as a minimalist. It is scary what we humans can collect.
I'm lucky to have had personal experience, my dad was a compulsive hoarder and when I died I had to sort his house out. Now I know I don't want to be ruled by stuff. I don't want to be a minimalist either, so to speak, but I never want to leave that level of junk for those I leave behind. We accumulate enough ordinarily, let alone that.
Me, too!!!
lol this is my trick too haha

Goals "eat and be happy" i love this lol
Eat, but just cut carbs. It works xxx (lol has a cookie for lunch 😘)
@@Stumpybear7640 don't cut carbs lol they're literally what you need for energy amd maybe don't go around giving shitty diet advice it's not cute
Amen on your "eating trumps fitting back into size 2 jeans" philosophy!! 🙌 Also just loved the decluttering. You did an awesome job!
Holy moly Mai rewatching and it’s so cool how much things have changed now :)
I did my bedroom closet. I didn’t put everything on the bed though, I found that to be to much for me !!! I just started going through the items on the hangers one at a time. No mess !!!! A box for Keep / Donate . It worked out well. Closet done and looks great !!!
Light pink will look great
I can so relate to the pre-kid clothes! I used to wear size 8 easily, b4 kids (they’re millennials now). Only last year did the kon mari method help me get rid of them-by finally realizing the size 8 bikinis were stressing me out by looking at them-knowing I’ll never get back to that size no matter how much I workout. It’s not fair, idk why our bodies have to change so much while men pretty much get to stay the same. 💁🏾
it is so not fair!! Not to mention a lot of them men i know eat whatever they want with no side effect haha
I love how real you are about your changed body shape. It is refreshing to see somebody who can accept that things change and holding onto things from the past is not always the smart thing to do. Whether by age, kids, or both it is worth doing this type of cull for the peace it does bring. Good vid!
Love this. I go through everything in our house 2 times a year because we don't have hardly any storage in our home. I just recently did my dresser and am about to do my closet this week.
Good for you!!! 2 times a year sounds reasonable and probably is what I should do going forward 😅
"Other than when I hold my kids, and sometimes my husband..." I laughed way too loud at that part
Thank you! This was the most realistic and most helpful of all the declutter videos I viewed.
I love it, your closet looks amazing!! Remember the less clothes the easier it is to manage and keep clean 🙌🏼
"Sometimes my husband" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we all have those days right!
I can totally relate at 4:35 saying none of the clothes sparks joy, except my family. Yes it is so true
Wow! Good job. Its the first time i've ever sat through a decluttering video and actually finished it. You made it look feasible as opposed to daunting. 👍
You did a great job. I actually like not having a ton of clothes. My home is the opposite of yours. We have no closets except 1 in my kids room. So EVERY piece of clothing I own fits in my dresser.

AWESOME CLOSET CLUTTERED or NOT CLUTTERED 😭♥️
I’m 26 wks, I purged too, I feel naked & bare w/out all my old lil college clothing too! More shopping excuses to start cluttering again! 🤪
Haha yes! I def took advantage and shopped more than I ever have for a fall wardrobe!!
“I like food” 🤣 omg that’s so ME...
When you wear something hanging up turn the hanger around facing the other way and if they are folded clothes that you wore put into a basket or tote and then after summer or winter or after 6 months go through and the one's you didn't wear your probably won't wear I did this and I got rid of almost half of my hanging stuff and 1 hole dresser drawer full of stuff that I was never wearing so you may want to try it
You have indeed inspired me. I’m long overdue on this project. Thank you.
I love how real you are! Can’t wait to see more of your videos.
Thanks to your encouragement, I've decluttered my bathroom and vanity area. It looks so much better. Now I'm going to start the closet. I'm so scared, it's a huge job. Wish me luck. Thanks for the videos.

3 do the same on the next drawer.

OMG! This was fun to look at now, after seeing your home now. You have done an amazing job! Thank you for the inspiration!
/Jenny in Sweden
I know it’s come a looooong way!!!! Thank you!!
I’d say “Does it look good on me?” Is what I think of when I think about sparking joy. And “Do I like wearing this?”
It looks amazing!! I'm now motivated to tackle my walkin!! Thank you
I can't pull everything out the closets it's overwhelming I rather pull a armful out and do a little bit in each room every day ...I enjoy listening to these videos while I'm working &this one is really good 🥰
I’m working on declutting my closet. You are so right you have to be ready to declutter your closet which means get rid of clothes, giveaway some, and up cycle. Great job I hope I can clear mine out like yours wish me luck.
yesss i’m excited for this video!! i’m always decluttering now because i’m preparing for a baby in a very small home lol
if you dont wanna mess with the good clothes but ones you dont wanna keep, count them up, take a pic of a doz of them, and put 1-4 $ on each, selling the whole box at once. OR give to a women's shelter, children's home for the teens, or similar... yes you did a great job!

2022 - Watching this again after watching your last clean out! Crazy how perspective changes. You've come so far!
The way you said “camera phone” 😂😂 we must be similar in age, love that
Thanks for keeping it real! I needed this to help me to get motivated
I seriously need to do this in my closet! Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey I just finished watching your video for the first time so if you keep this kind of stuff up I'll be watching you more often cuz you did it the right way you didn't look at do I does it Spike Joy or something like that I can't do that either my clothes if I wear them I like them if I don't I forgot so yeah all right thanks for sharing..
I'm planning on tackling my kids clothes this week (may be even more than this)! won't be posted till next month tho probably cause it is always a LOT of footage to edit together when it is this massive of an undertaking lol
Loved this, you tried really hard! I recently went through my closet and basically threw my life away haha. Gonna do my drawers next
You did a phenomenal job!!! So inspiring!!❣️🎁
At this point, I am binge watching all your videos all day as I organize my room
This video is exactly what I was looking for today!
😁😁
I have been there with jumbled hangers! Amazing work, thank you for the encouragement! 🌷
Thank you for a really useful video (totally agree - clothes don't 'spark joy' for me either! That's definitely connected with the more important/non material things in life! 👍😊)
Realistic video, love it!
Watching MariKondo it surprised me how many people don't know how to fold clothes. I thought it was a basic thing but turns out it isn't.
Now that Was a Decluttering Video. Good Job Happy Shopping 😆
Thanks for Sharing
You're hilarious! Great video!
It's always interesting to see how others live. I think I have a lot of clothes but it's probably only a fifth of what you have!
For me, I would hang the jeans and fold the bras and store in drawers with dividers.
To keep on top of your clothes clutter, a good rule is one on, one out. Same goes for other things like books and toys as well.
I just found you! You had me laughing so hard 🤣😂🤣😂 thank you for being real very helpful and motivating
I haven't done this for probably 6-7 years and it's time, you've inspired me. Just as a heads up the last time I did this I found out you have to be so careful with selling if you use like a reseller like Plato's Closet, I brought a bunch of stuff and a lot of it, even if it was in great shape and even a few things had tags on, they said it's too old and they wouldn't take it.

I looked at it and thought this is a nice item, if I was still that smaller size I would buy it, not realizing apparently it was too dated. So just be careful...
I love your theory you got to stay realistic.
Great job! You are awesome.
i am about ready to do this. I think i might need too big of a bed! lol maybe i take it all out and put in ANOTHER ROOM completely out of my way, and then do it .. or someone like me would feel overwhelmed in the room i am trying to do.... I would still have to put out boxes according to sizes cause i have too many causes my size changed so much this past 18 months, Plus what you have out there too LOL What a job this is, but we have to jump in and do it, then THINK about having it do it all over again, every time you buy anything else. lol and KEEP a couple of tosses for crafts or cleaning purposes.
Oh ahah I loved the way that you said that it did not get you sparkles ahahah so true ! Thanks for not telling this bullshit that we hear allover, you're my hero !
Sincerely like when you say that it's easier to hang your clothes, why waist time......... just for that and the love clothes thing, I will follow you !
I feel you on not folding certain clothes. Since I just look after myself I have few enough clothes where I fold everything except underwear. Even if they get wrinkly they’re supposed to be form fitting so it stretches out over my body and you can’t see wrinkles anyway :-)
You did an awesome job!!! Where you hung your tops, you could go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a white melamine shelf, probably 16" wide and you could put it across the top of the brackets. That would give you a ton of nice storage in that space. You could do bags, or jewelry or something. Just a thought.
Very inspiring! Loved your video!
I love your way of you thinking lol as when I’m de cluttering my own stuff there’s no way I’m going to hold every item to see if it sparks joy I declutter and organize like this if it’s old and stretched out stained or ripped it goes if it still fits and seasoned clothes it stays I have 2 sock drawers one for heavy socks o no e for light ones I organize them in a row so easy to find . I’m glad I subscribed to your channel as you make decluttering and organization fun
I just love you and your channel!!!
If you hold your favourite items that’s when you know how joy from clothes feels. Hope this helps.
Great job!
Great job 🇦🇺
Sheeeen not shane ahhhhhhhh!
You can go shopping now! 😁
I just found your channel and I love it so much!
Also, super proud of you! It looks great! ... now if only the other side matches :P
My husband said he's going to KonMari his shoes this weekend. we'll see on that.
😅😅
You’ve done a brilliant job - you should be very proud of yourself
Thank you!!! 🥰🥰🙏🙏
I’m inspired.......but luckily the feeling won’t last long 😰
Like you I had mainly work suitable clothes predominantly black suits and now can buy colours wheyyyyyyy🎇
An idea for you re. the hangers is, if you are ever doing a closet declutter again, then keep all the items on the hangers and then, once you h'ave discarded the items you don't want it will be so much easier to put what you are keeping back in your closet. Just an idea.
i JUST cleaned out my closet the other day lol but i recently moved into this house so it wasn’t really a huge deal, but hey there was a lot of unopened clothes boxes so i’m still proud
Good for you!!! 🙌🏻
Love this type of film when i go through my things. Regards grom Poland ❤️🍷

Fun video.
I wish I was skinny so I could have so many clothes options 😁
👏👏👏👏👏 amazing job!!!
Thank you!!! 🥰🥰
New here! Binging and loving your content, but most of all your personality! Thank you. Stay well! ❤
Love the lazy KonMai way! I'm decluttering too and stuff does not spark joy with me either.
I have the exact same girdle. It doesn't fit me but I'm waiting to fit into it.... Think I'll throw it!
Thanks for this video, gives me inspiration to do a closet declutter as well. If I don’t use clothes items on a seasonal basis they need to go!
Yess 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I did a declutter of my clothing about a year ago in hopes it'll encourage me to get laundry put away. But I have the problem that once its washed, I keep all the clean clothes in a basket for weeks. Even though decluttering didn't help in that aspect, at least I only have what I wear now. 😅😩 first world problems
😅😅😅 it at least makes it easier to find items in a smaller pile of clothing lol!
You are so funny my most favorite yet, perfect
Thank you!!
@@MaiZimmy you are the most real of all the people i have watched doing this, even though you are not 100% following the konmari but still it was good. so funny, i laughed so hard a few times at your language and gestures. very real person and soooooooo pretty. i recommend this one to friends for sure
I love this!! I did the same thing! I want to eat!!! Hahaha - I made a separate bag of old denim and sweats...maybe I’ll make a blanket someday...
love the vid- thanks for posting
It's funny, you talking about the hangers....I've helped two friends and my sister clean out their closets. And I'm a little bit of a "nag" about what they do with the hangers as we sort. They probably think I'm crazy....but we all know that it's something we wish someone else had told us when we were decluttering. :-)
Amazing job 👍
Thank you!!! It was a lot of work!! 😅😅
