For the medicine cabinet, get a little sample paint at Home Depot and paint the inside. I am going to declutter my bathroom today! thank you for always motivating me to declutter! Happy Holidays!
❤ The little pumpkin Halloween soaps! How cute are they? Whole bathroom looks 👍 organized, clean, and decluttered😊 Is your sister still in process of decluttering her home?😊🎸
I was thinking the same thing, the inside can be painted or maybe covered with contact paper. If painting, some kind of primer might be necessary.
I use cute scrap booking paper to cover my dingy medicine cabinet! Easy Peasy!
Or the same thing she uses on her kitchen floor . Or vinyl . I don't know how the call it in English 😅 i mean some sort of sticker stuff . Peel and stick ? Geesh haha
@@marloespeters8404 Called shelf paper. U can also put it in kitchen cabinets also.
Those potions and lotions are clearly working because you are always 💖glowing💖 Carla.
We need a skin care routine video 🙏
Hey Carla; i know that this might sound strange, but when I spend money on products, I will cut about a third of the way down the tubes, and yes, some plastic bottles. I learned this trick from a super wealthy friend, who does not waste her expensive products. There is always a LOT of produce in the tubes and bottles. Then i just use the top third as the lid to fit it over the bottom portion with some cling film. My friends laughed at me, but I've noticed that they now do the same😂. There is usually another 2 weeks of product left in the tube or bottle. Dont judge; products are too expensive, and although I can afford it, im just not into waste. 😅
I do the same thing😊
I do this too lol, except I decant the product into a jar but now I will use your idea! ❤
Yes!! I’ve done this with my la Roche posay body lotion.. cut the top off, but then the lotion gets dry and tacky., but I do love a good glass jar, so I’m sure I can scoop it out and transfer it and use the rest of it up. Thanks for the reminder!
@@vanessap7393 Yes! I do the same!
Yes! I was internally screaming when she tossed too many bottles as finished while at least 2-3 times worth of product still left at the bottom. I know it was content’s sake cuz we all relax when some things are decluttered 😅 still I hope she used them all the way down after she has the footage 😁
Maintenance decluttering is so much easier than having to go through years of accumulation. I typically will go through every area of my house about once a year. High traffic areas like the kitchen I will do more often.
Its soo dirthy
More cleening??????
I loved when you said, "I can do hard things!" It's one of my favorite expressions, too!
G/F, you got me INSPIRED after watching your bathroom clean out. I just got finished cleaning, decluttering my bathroom and bathroom dressing area. I CLEANED, SCRUBBED, DECLUTTERED everything NOT glued down. Got rid of 8 more items ( 38 total in 2 months). I put out 2 new toothbrushes for the new year, scrubbed the shower curtain with mildew cleaner, wiped down bathroom walls, counters. Cleaned mirrors, all my bathroom containers. My 2 bathroom areas are spotless. Also, washed all bathrooms rugs, swept both floors, mopped. It took me almost an hour and a half but I got it done for the New Year. Now, Im starting iny bedroom.😂
i love how you continue to declutter and keep on top of things! showing it’s not a one time process but a way of life.
I really enjoy your content Carla, it’s helped me immensely!
x
yes for me it is totally a way of life. regular edits keep my space light and fresh! XO
You are killing it with content these days!! So lucky for us! Thank you!!
awwww thank YOU!!! most videos ive ever made in the last two months!!
Did this a few months ago and realized I did not need to buy soap, shampoo or lotion for at least a year!!
You continue to inspire me. It won't be this month because I still plan to have my Christmas decorations up for a few more days, but I promise it will get done. The year 2024 will be one of deliberate purging, simple organization, conscious purchases, and letting go of that which weighs me down. Thank you, Carla, for your down-to-earth method of simplifying life. ❤❤❤ Love your content.
Sounds like a plan, i think the bathroom is the perfect spot.
I’m from NYC, and the apartment I was in before I moved to CA had a medicine cabinet just like that. I bought a new one, exactly the same- and swapped it out. Before I moved out, I put the old one in (I stored in my dad’s garage 😬) i sold the one I bought from Home Depot on Craigslist.
@@mohenn22smith27I was thinking the same thing... But I think I would just paint it instead of going through the trouble. Unless of course you plan on staying for a while then it might be worth it buying a new one. Every time you open it you'll feel good and yes they're not that expensive.
I’ve asked them to replace it and they don’t so maybe this is some thing I can hire out on task rabbit if it’s not too expensive thanks for the inspo!
for the medicine cabinet, it looks like rust has stained it. Bar Keeper's Friend - make a paste and let it sit before scrubbing. it will come off! This also works for blue/green rust stains from copper pipes
ok i have bar keepers i will try but i dont think it will work on this surface...i will try tho!
If it doesn’t work you can try powerpaste, or this peroxide stuff. But not at the same time please 😅
I cheered out loud! When it comes to samples, etc remember that "horizontal is hidden, and vertical is visible!"❤
hey Carla, happy new year! a quick spray paint in the medicine cabinet would work like a charm. Not expensive or time-consuming.
Once you start to go through your stuff multiple times it does get easier to let things go with each declutter.
P. S. I love your channel. It's a great pick me up.
that is SO generous of you thank YOU and happy holidays William!!😍
I have used a piece of pretty wrapping paper as a liner for shelving in the bathroom for a quick fix. I clean cupbooards in January, during those Looooonnnnnggggg winter nights and watch You-tube videos! Love your decluttering videos!
A jeweler once advised me not to store jewelry in the bathroom because the high humidity damages it. Perhaps you should reconsider whether there is a better place in your apartment so that you can enjoy it for a long time.
I was thinking the same thing for the books and the make up. I had to toss a load of eyeshadow that I kept in the bathroom because it developed mold.
It would be so awesome if you could get Alexandra Gator to do a renter friendly apartment decor video for your place. You have mentioned before that your landlord doesn't let you do anything, but Alexandra decorates with this in mind. Your personality would really suit some more character in your home. You really deserve it. I love your channel.
I contact-papered the inside of my medicine cabinet with a grey faux grasscloth from Amazon. Makes me happy every time I open that door now.
love grass cloth that sounds lovely.
There is an art in buying what you’ll use and then using what you buy.
Feels so good to declutter! 🥳 Thanks for sharing the list! Not sure if anyone else has suggested it, but *I love using contact paper to cover up old cabinets*. That might work for covering the stains in the bathroom medicine cabinet and the bottom of the shelf under the sink. Hope it helps! ♥ Jenny
Maintenance is so important in life. I think people think decluttering is a one and done because of shows - before and after is so satisfying. But keeping up with it is what keeps the problem from coming back. Carla, I feel like your routines are working for you. It's okay to do a once in a while declutter instead of keeping up with it daily.
When I got back on the bandwagon in the fall of 22, I started in my bathroom. It's great because there isn't a lot of sentimental clutter in there and it's such a quick win that I got to see several times a day whenever I was in there. ❤
I also try to get every last bit of something in a tube and will cut them open to see what’s left! Those mini jars are great for that! 😊
I've always used a brush to apply lipstick, and it is also useful to get to the very last drop of product in the lipstick tube.
Same!
One item at a time is my mantra, I find it really does make things easier. Say hello to your cute supervisor!
I have a medicine cabinet from the 1960s 😂 I just used contact paper to cover the inside & I even covered the glass shelves since they were chipped. It's still old, but looks much better now👍😊🎉
I am on the decluttering journey. I am back at work today but I did clear out sauce bottles out of my fridge and things out of date! I feel lighter already.
I will just do a little bit after work on certain day of the week.
Wow Carla! I remember you decluttering your bathroom some time ago. You are really crushing the decluttering!// By the way, you have to moisten the magic eraser. The original one is the best imo.
Ok, emptying the bathroom cabinets now!
By the way I always enjoy your music choices: Well chosen, interesting, variety
Happy 2024!
I did my bathroom a couple of months ago and it's been pretty well maintained! I did find about 5 items that wandered into my bathroom that needed to be rehomed. I think I threw one thing away! I'm feeling pretty accomplished lol! I've been decluttering my kitchen cabinets *again*. My oldest daughter is on a kind of strict diet to determine if she has any allergies. I've had to declutter 6 grocery bags full of food! I am also noticing things we don't use enough (like muffin tins, etc) that I'm going to remove as well. I'm loving all of the empty spaces in my cabinets!
I just did this this morning! I'm hoping to declutter more.
YAY! I shot this yesterday and now my bathroom feels and looks great!!
Today I did my bathroom and my hall closet which is toiletries and linens and cleaning supplies. I gave about 90-100 items for donation. About 5 things for trash. I had done outdated medications about a month ago so not a lot there. Now I know what I have and where it is!
i found it fascinating since i only keep shampoo a roll of toilet paper and a cleaning item in a tiny shared bathroom. It has been a couple months since i last went through everything that corresponds to health and beauty, my biggest problem with the category is not having a dedicated space for it all, but i have a small bag for trips for basics like toothbrush, tòoth paste, razor, jabon zote, and sunblock. but no where to store largèr bottles of mouthwash and cleaning supplies or extras.
I love watching your decluttering videos. Keeps me motivated. I am always looking around my home to see if I use it or not.
I am still in process of getting my upstairs redone/ primered / decluttered my kitchen.
Now waiting for my husband to do his stuff.
… thank you Carla for posting decluttering videos.
Your skin is glowing
I remember your bathroom way back when. You have come a long way and have it so well organised now.
I put pretty scrapbook papers on the back of my medicine cabinet. It’s really pretty and makes me smile when I open my cabinet.
Great idea!
Carlaaaaa! In your no-buy challenge vid you've mentioned some Farm Rio shirts scored during the sale season - as a Brazilian, I beg ya to film a video showing them + latest buys! Farm is a very known, beloved Brazilian brand and I feel so proud when I see foreigners paying attention to it! They have a fabulous Adidas collab as well, for a few years now. Here in the UK they started selling Farm at Liberty's this year, so they are definitely investing overseas. Much love to ya and great vid, as always! Amazing declutter! ✨💖
A few days ago got a clog in bathroom sink. So needless to say, had to take out everything from under the sink. Wow! Lots of items we forget about and had to go through it. Don't wait for a clog, such a mess. Thank you for being vulnerable and inspiring us.
You've done, and continue to do so much for your sister. Your kindness as you help her move forward is amazing. Patience could be your middle name. I'm 64, and over the years, we accumulate as well as I've been given things from my deceased parents. We also have family living with us as your sister does. As they move forward in their lives and move into their own place, our home will greatly decrease regarding all the stuff. Having said that, I've decimated my things in a positive way. I have a long way to go, but our home is very livable. I'm a retired CMA as well as an advanced. May I say your skin is amazing. Always be gentle with your skin as this will help issues. Soft suggestion, most of skin care has limited positive results. Always do your own research. Healthy eating and sunscreen early in life works wonders. Just my opinion.
Thank you for this inspiring video, Carla. I decluttered when I moved a while back, but I realize now it's time for a maintenance declutter. This is motivating. I love your idea of using otherwise unused makeup bags to store smaller items. Here's to a good New Year for all of us !!🎉
YES‼️I love these videos, I literally get up now and start decluttering my bathroom when I start watching the video. My closet is in the bathroom so I do the closet too. 17 items (3-given away-mini lotion samples my niece loves, 1-bag, repurposed for a grocery store bag). So I told myself I need to use up my eye makeup remover before I buy anymore eye makeup remover pads. I also decluttered those hard lip liners that drag your lips into next year 🤭👄 and a couple clothing items. Does anyone have one of those motorized facial cleansing brushes you bought and never used…let’s just say I doubled cleansed tonight…lol 😂 Happy Decluttering 😊
Ive been on a binge of your videos, so happy to see a new one! I love seeing the progression in the different years with the declutters 😊
I had one idea but maybe its counterproductive to minimalism? What if you got a vanity for your room that had a hair tool caddy? Then you could have all your hair/makeup/lotions organized with somewhere to sit and be luxurious
Happy holidays! Keep the videos coming, i love your style! I feel like youre an old friend of mine ❤
I decluttered my bathroom cabinet just before Christmas thinking I wouldn't have much to get rid of. Boy was I wrong 😊
One thing I did with my mother in laws house when I was getting it ready to sell it, was take some peel n stick tiles for bathrooms (I used wood looking ones) to put on the bottom of her bottom cabinet. It added a sharp new look, strengthened the floor inside, and made it simple to clean up if it needed it. Also, it was easy to cut with scissors 🙂. Great video. Makes me want to go pull out everything in my bathroom! Thanks for your series!
I do regular decluttering in all shared areas of our home and it really helps keep everything under control.
This is interesting because you don't proclaim to be a minimalist and your bathroom doesn't appear minimal but you use all the products so it pretty much meets the definition of minimalism. I'm the same way with my beloved cardigans... I have at least 15 of them (even though I just decluttered a few) but I wear them all. I'm Canadian so I feel like I can have this many and still call myself a minimalist. 😂
Gorgeous shower curtain!
I was noticing that too!
I use a lip brush to get the last bit of lipstick out of the tube. Works great.
Just posted the same thing before seeing your comment.
You did a great job Carla! I'm going to take the bathroom decluttering challenge. Thank you!
I've said it before, but you have great taste in music, if you had a radio show it would be fantastic, enjoyed the declutter too 😀
Yay!! Happy to see you today❤
The past few months I've been on a mission to use up bathroom products, stuff I forgot I had or just got bored with, the last few drops of a serum, slivers of exotic soap I've been keeping for who knows why haha. It's so liberating! I have more space and don't feel wasteful because I used them, even the expired stuff (should be careful with those though).
A fellow tiny bathroom owner we live in a 100 year old house so not a lot of space in the bathroom. I keep my makeup in my closet. I did a declutter of makeup before Christmas. Took them to Sephora they have a recycling box for old cosmetics.
Thanks so much for the lists! 😊💖
Love this! 🩷
Always enjoy the declutter videos!!❤
Such good motivation!
Always love your videos
So motivating! Thanks, Carla! Happy new year.
Best reminder for me to do the same declutter ✌❤
If you want to do something special with your medicine cabinet, consider using a little sandpaper and then picking out a nice peel and stick wallpaper add some nice little surprise
I pray the next year is wonderful for you !
this just came at the perfect time! I want to declutter and clean out our bathroom cabinet until new years eve
Well done Carla! Another great job. Happy new year to you!x
Awesome video as per usual!
Love the clear organizers
Isn’t it amazing when you really LOOK at what you have, to discover things you don’t need or want! You’re always an inspiration, Carla - thank you! ❤️
Too funny about scooping the lipstick out of the tube, I do the same.
There's a lot of perfectly usable product in the base & worth saving.
Thank you!
Happy Christmas!❤❤
Now I need to go thru the bathroom and declutter …. Thanks!
I’m so cheap that I will cut a cream tube in half and scoop out what’s left and use it til it’s gone.
I absolutely do that too and am kinda proud of it. There is a lot of product left in a tube when you cut it so why waste it. I actually try to avoid tubes for that reason but everything comes in a tube these days.
Love your shower curtain ❤
Im so excited this showed up on my feed, for some reason they haven’t in a while so im about to binge 😊
Hi Carla! Happy New Year!
So, your medicine cabinet. Maybe put a big piece of cardboard behind where you're spraying and try a can of spray paint? Or pop it out by those screws on either side and spray it. Maybe spray primer? Then a cool color?
And, not to ADD more storage space, but years ago I started putting a shower curtain tension rod on the OTHER side of the tub, a couple inches away from the wall, and rested my shampoos, etc on it. They drip dry easier and it's SO much easier to keep things I need IN the shower. (Avoiding puddles and mold, etc.)
I just LOVE your channel, I'm so glad I found you. I'm a pretty neat minimalist already, but your personality, voice and ideas have me waiting for your video.
(Also, I finally got that monacle-on-a-chain Sherry had. LOVE IT!!!
Jen
Also, get that fave lip color back out of the trash and use ear sticks to get it out and apply. LOL
I love your channel and did a bathroom declutter a few days ago. I looked at every item and made a decision to throw most things away. Makeup, sample lotions, items I got for free, hair products I haven't used in months, almost empty containers. Filled up a trash bag. It feels so much bigger in there!
Love it!! Yes!!!
Happy new year🎉🎉🎉
thank you for posting this!! doing a year-end declutter this week
I love the content and motivation that comes from watching you in action. Something to note, I don’t know where your donation items are going but I’ve worked in a couple of shelters. We usually couldn’t give open products to residents, mainly bc we didn’t know if it was tainted and some times stuff was so old that it should’ve never been donated. We threw out so much stuff as soon as it came in.
Well done project 🎉🎉🎉
I have been needing to declutter my bathroom cabinet you have inspired me!! ❤
I always love a good declutter. ❤❤ Been wanting to try a shampoo bar for awhile.
Thanks for sharing. I have the bathroom on my Friday to do list.
Thanks for the inspiration, I got up and sorted my bathroom straight after. Very satisfying to know done.
Thanks for this video, Carla. It is a good reminder for me to go thru my bathroom this week. I know there is stuff that I don't use and need to declutter!
Great job, carla.
I love Korean skincare!
Happy new year 🎉
I put contact paper over the dingy, dirty shelves of my medicine cabinet. I took the doors off so I could wrap the paper over the front and underneath the shelf, then put the doors back on.
You were ruthless! I always second guess everything 😅
Thank you dear for the inspiration. Bless you and safe travels into the next year of prosperity. ❤
Your videos are the reason i started to declutter my house and really think about the things I use.
Totally inspiring as always! I definitely need to do my bathroom and linen cupboard!!!
Thank you ❤
I’ll be doing a bathroom de clutter this weekend ❤
SO close to 75K subscribers!!
🎉🥳
This is so helpful! I have an old medicine cabinet like yours in our old apartment too, it looked the same, so I’m thinking of putting some of the pretty dollar store contact paper in it.
Great job! 🤩🙌
Great job, I needed to see this, my bathroom has many unused,unloved items that truly need to go away. I will be implementing your suggestions! Thank you for the push. BtW, I was thinking you could get some pretty peel and stick paper at dollar store to cover inside old medicine cabinet. Love your channel!!!❤
Thanks Carla for another great video ❤
Thanks for watching!❤️
