Everytime when I'm too lazy to clean my room completely, throwing all the stuff away what I don't, I watch these videos. It makes me want to organise my room again and enjoy having less stuff. Thanks!
I know these videos are super old, but they've really kept me inspired while trying to downsize my things before moving out!
i love how honest she is like about the set that the company shipped to her twice, that she wouldnt keep the seed oil because she promised she would ship it as a set. like idk that just warms my heart... anyone else?
Right!?!?!?!
I am so glad I found these videos. I got too into the whole RUclips makeup gurus, and that started my non stop buying. I finally went through and looked at all the make up I accumulated and felt physically sick at what I had done. I really hated myself for it knowing there are kids starving to death and I was wasting money on make up I didn't need.
You really inspired me to go another round through my collection and purge again.
Thank you for addressing package hoarding. I definitely relate to that struggle. I consistently and inexplicably hold on to MAC, Urban Decay and Tarte packaging. My husband finds it strange that I have a drawer dedicated to empty boxes I can't bear to part with. I've been slowly watching these decluttering videos of yours and have been very inspired to declutter as well. I actually just cleared out some unneeded items this weekend to give to friends and family and it's already easier to navigate when I get ready in the mornings.
Even two years later I love re-watching these videos! And I especially love seeing how much your process has changed from then to now. :)
It's so fun to watch these old videos again. I'm betting most of the stuff you hung on to back then is now gone since you have done such a great job decluttering over the years.
Loved seeing Mitzi the guinea pig wander past at 10:58.
One thing that really helped me downsize my makeup collection was by researching which companies test their products on animals. All of those companies I donated or threw away. Not the best way to get rid of makeup, but I learned a lot and helped me no longer purchase from certain makeup brands/companies. I've been watching your entire Declutter Vlog episodes. You're very inspiring. I'm on a minimalist journey myself and you've definitely given me a few more "mantras" I should ask myself when going through my things! Thanks for these!
Thank you! I totally agree! Just looking at the promo images and reading the product descriptions was a downfall for me, it was like I was flirting with temptation and consumerism. I had to cut myself off from the emails, marketing, advertising. I have a goal, in 2013 I hope to look at my belongings and no longer be disgusted with myself lol.
"Noah's ark going on here, I don't need two of a kind, every freaking color from every freaking brand." :D
i have seen a gazallion de clutter videos and honestly by far yours is the most inspirational, ruthless (in a good way) and just so cool!!
These videos are actually so fun to watch, it's nice to see someone with high-end and affordable makeup go through and decide what you need and what you can live without, and doing so without brand discrimination.
Love it!!
for me, this kind of video makes me relax. i love it when people realise that we don't need that much stuff to be happy. I'm so happy with what you've turned into, Chirstine! I've said it a couple of times and I will always say it! Thank you for inspiring people to let go!
Thanks girlie!! Yes! When the tsunami sirens started going off my first thought was, what to grab if we had to evacuate immediately... three things... Michael, pigs, water lol. That's it, possessions mean nothing.
You're so right about the makeup emails, and the constant consumerism vs. minimalist! it really gets to be too much and then you have this huge collection you don't use a lot of!
I've been watching your 'Less Stuff, Less Stress' series for hours, and it is helping me to get rid of stuff that I could not give up! You should be proud of yourself! Thank you so much!
I've enjoyed your channel for a while but this series is by far my favorite of yours. Decluttering, simplicity, minimalism - such important concepts to help one focus on what is truly important in life.
It is so therapeutic to watch this. I think sometimes we get so carried away buying stuff and it just sits there creating clutter. Keep up the good work.
You are one heck of a role model and a very real and relatable woman at that. Your message about self control, financial awareness and common sense is refreshing and without a hint of belittling. My husband has been indulging me like crazy with trips to ULTA, Sephora and the drugstore but I am naturally always controlling myself. He does appreciate it :) Watching this video reaffirmed to me that I am doing the right thing. I have yet to see ANYONE do a video like this on RUclips. You are a pioneer! Huge storm going on outside and I cannot sleep. Watching you is awesome!
Ah the box thing I can totally understand! I LOVE boxes, good sturdy, cute boxes but totally agree. Sometimes I use them as gift boxes but still, they need to just go! I got hooked onto your videos today and I feel a huge urge to spring clean/ purge. I loved how you donated your samples and usually I pick through them right away and send them off to friends/family but still they always accumulate. Thank so much for sharing!
I admire what you're doing. Not only are you helping yourself by de-cluttering your life and realising that there's so much you don't need or use but you're helping others that are less fortunate. You've really inspired me to do the same. Less clutter in my space makes my mind feel less cluttered and I actually feel relief getting rid of things! My friends will also love what I'm doing as I plan on giving them lots as gifts soon :) THANK YOU!
I don't have much of a makeup collection to begin with but you have inspired me to de-clutter other things in my home that were in desperate need of it (night stand, bookshelves, closets, etc). I can't believe all the clutter I had! If feels so amazing to see all the clean space...feels like freedom. And seeing the excitement in the people that I donated to was so fun! Many thanks! xoxo
Ah I know, I definitely didn't want these videos to cause people to crave more stuff. :( Thanks so much for all your support.
The Guinea pig!!! Omg!!! I miss my sweetheart, Penny. It's been 6 years without her.
I'm so sorry,🙏🙏🙏
What consumers we are,buy!buy!buy! The older i get the more i notice i buy less frifilious things!You are so right and after a good declutter i feel so more relaxed!You are doing a fabulous thing,giving what you dont use to others who would use it,i do the same thing and it works out great for everyone!Have a beautiful week christine and hugs from OR!
Inspiring. Even though I have less than your stash after the de clutter, what you say really rings true to me. I don't own/rent much space, and I realise that I've been needlessly buying cosmetics etc that I don't use. It's for no reason. So I'm inspired to start sorting through and seeing what I really need. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're such a positive switched on person.
Love, love, love this video Christine!!!!!! A little tip...take re-useable shopping bags with you to stores and skip altogether the "cute" bags that you may be tempted to keep. It's a win,win for you and the earth!! It's not good to "organize" by putting boxes inside of boxes inside of trunks...you forget what you have stashed and forget get all about it. You are doing it right!!
Christine, whenever I watch these decluttering videos by you, I really feel so nice and inspired.. I don't know why.. thanks so much for making this series and still keeping these old videos in your list. I am following all your videos since almost 2012, and feel that you are doing amazing. Love
You've really helped me think more about my own consumerism, it's so refreshing to see a youtuber breaking away from hoarding. Also, your video on coconut oil recently helped me transform my skincare regime. I'm loving it now! Thank you xx
I could watch these video's of yours all day! There is something so satisfying about getting rid of things in your life that just take up space. Apparently it is satisfying watching someone else get rid of things too...
8 years ago today and I have watched so many times. Relevant as much today as it was then
Let's try this again! I actually fell into the same trap of buying and buying. Until I started watching these videos. I bought and bought a ton of makeup! You have inspired me to clean up my act and purge things I don't use or like. And ONLY buy what I need! Thank you I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I was trying to keep up with what everyone else on YT was buying. Not any more! You are a true inspiration!
I love your honesty and integrity. Thank you for sharing. I've felt the need to purge recently and I appreciate the additional motivation
OMG - the scene of Mitzi just tottering down the hallway (and yourr reaction) is priceless!
Watching these video's you've made is really therapeutic, and I think just what I needed to do what I've been meaning to do forever, and follow in your footsteps. Thanks for making these, and not just showing us the before and after but actually walking through the PROCESS of putting things in the get rid of pile. I feel like imagining doing this mentally first makes it easier when I actually have to do it for real. like mental preparation.
I've got to hand it to you, to have so many products and you still had them organized pretty well. You could open up a cosmetic store. Good job making yourself get rid of stuff, I can relate. I believe you can still get rid of more than half the stuff you saved. But this is a good start. Please stop being so harsh on yourself. You're doing something about it, and someone else can benefit from all your cool stuff.
Hands down favorite person in the beauty community. I have hardly any makeup and stuff and I hate how I get pressured into feeling bad sometimes about not being able to afford it. You helped me overcome a lot of my want to buy more! thanks for putting things into perspective so that I can now be happy with only a few products I love!
Thanks for making these videos of cleaning out your makeup collection. After subscription boxes and discovering new makeup/beauty from youtube videos, I've found myself accumulating products and I, too, want a simpler life, using up what I have. I've cleaned out and organized my own collection slowly the past month, but it's great motivation to watch you organization videos to keep my in the mindset. It's nice to know others out there Want to simplify and not hoard beauty products. Thanks!
Im rewatching all of these! They totally motivate me(again) lol You should do updated one with body care & clothes! Im totally a hoarder of those thing too!!
omg i loveeeeeeee all these less stuff/stress videos...I been a subscriber for a long time and I must say you shopped a lot and had lots of stuff in hauls, reviews etc...I can't beleive how much you realized and changed with your personal stuff....You got rid of tons of items and I have very proud of you...I agree with not needed all those, boxes, makeup, little tinkets ect....I support u all the way and u r such an inspiration!!!
Too funny when Mitzy passed by the room. I so wish there are more videos on RUclips like yours. Thank you for donating to the women's shelters. You just don't know how they appreciate it.
You know I really like you and your channel. I usually watch other gurus but they seem so commeracial, never re clutter etc and when they do decor stuff it's always buy this buy that. Youre inspiring, REAL and relatable. And I'm sure the women who receive your goodies at the shelter really need and appreciate them :) xxx
I really love these videos! Every couple months I go through my makeup collection, hair care, body care, and nail polishes, even jewelry, and I pass things I don't use along to my best friend. She appreciates it because it's like Christmas for her, and I feel better because I have less clutter. Currently doing this now! :)
I absolutely love this series! I honestly wish you could do more, but it seems like it's getting close to the end :( I really do think it's amazing how you're giving it all away, it just shows how amazing you are as a person. You have a heart of gold and what good you do for others, will come back in good for you. I hope you do realise what an incredibly sweet and genuine person you are!
i honestly dont know why but i watched all your "declutter vlog" videos and im not bored like i usually am watching someone get rid of stuff about 15 minutes each video. I LOVE IT! i hope you keep doing what your doing because you are honestly one of my top 5 makeup guru's here on youtube :)
This is so refreshing to watch. over the past couple of years i have been on a minimalist mission but recently have been buying more products that i dont really need but thinking i had to have them buying into the whole consumerism disease. thanks for reminding me i dont have to buy into that
i feel anxious when i think about how many beauty products i have but i definitely have to be honest with myself. life's too short to use products you don't love. i see so many products and samples in your collection that i've hung onto for too long... i'm hoping i will be able to let some of them go too.
I respect you for doing this video series. It demonstrates sophistication & wisdom. I'm sure others would agree.
Everything you said is so true!! I'm right there with you, sigh... It's that old quote "keeping up with the Joneses" but now it's "keeping up with the gurus" lol ;)
Thank you so much for putting up these videos, really helps us too to realise that they're just products..materialistic things that actually just create stress :)
Your honesty is so refreshing! Love this series.
You inspired me to do a clean out yesterday. I dropped off 12 trash bags full of clothes, shoes and handbags to Goodwill and it felt good to be giving to others. Thanks for doing these videos, they are so helpful :)
Haha I agree!! It feels so good to purge and get focused on priorities.
That is a LOT of makupand you look like a natural beauty! Good of you to donate.Women at shelters need a lot of support. Thank you. Other people that can use expired or used makup are crafters. I like your videos a lot! You have inspired me to do something about my clutter! Am looking to see what you do with your beautiful hair and complexion. Luv
I applaud you. I just did this over the summer. Of course it was way less, but it feels good to give it away to someone who would love it or get more use.
Let the Chi flow through and on and around! It feels so light to let go and only have minimal, just what you need, no more. I would love to see more of this from our beauty mentors. Throw down the gauntlet and let others be tagged to do this challenge! Not just a hypothetical "What would you do if all your makeup disappeared?" tag, but a real "donate to those who have nothing and then what would you really keep?" tag. xo
Oil from your skin is what makes the is compacts to get hard. A lot of the compact come with that clear plastic I always save them and put lay that on top and then put the sponge on top of that so as something between it and the oil from our skin gets on the brushes so then when you brush the power on when it touches the compact it get hard.

Love it!!! After watching your first 3, I tackled my Bathroom sink cabinets. Threw away a ton of old Victoria secret and B&B body sprays, along with other misc junk. I agree that if we don't visit the blogs or get emails to tempt us it helps with not buy more stuff.
A very much needed series of videos. Thank you for doing these videos, it's given me a much needed wakeup call. Realization, that I need to enjoy what I have and use up what I have before running out to get more of something I may already have. I have been feeling stressed about how much makeup I have purchased and how I could of used it on more important things. Thank you! :)
This set of videos inspired me..Today I emptied my boxes and baskets and all makeup/skincare onto the living room floor. I was DISGUSTED.I started tossing stuff that I hadn't used in 6 months. THEN, I put all unused samples into a bag and tore off to the women's shelter. I didn't think I had as much as you, but after counting 50 lipsticks, I realized there was a problem. I am halfway through the job, and am going to finish watching this video. Hope to God I can finish this by 4 pm.WOW THANKS
OH! Im glad you are all safe! I didn't hear about the tsunami till I read your comment up top! Thank goodness,its makes you realize that "stuff" really isn't important! Life,love,and less stress is the priority here. I took note of when I say "CUTE"...that's my bell saying...rethink this decision before you buy it! I've watched videos on utube of minimalists,that try to live with only 100 items which makes you wonder,how much DO we really need.I am continuing to follow the purge groove!=))
I am so loving our organizational videos! Was so happy to see this video posted this morning. Love it!
I've been watching the past video's of this series and it got me inspired. The past weekend I cleared out one of our rooms full of excess crap and today will be the kitchen. I've seriously been loving this video idea of yours so if you do other rooms/areas please take us along because it's motivating me too :D xx
It can make you feel guilty when you have so much; I hope you have continued with Less Stress theme! The women at the shelter probably felt so blessed, pretty, and gave them smiles and joy that someone cared. It is a great thing you did and helps you too!!!
OMG LOVE this right away!! When you said you had a hard time getting rid of the leapord print box, that made me feel like I'm not alone! I have a hard time getting rid of that kind of stuff too. Thanks for sharing this video!
Thank so much for these videos, it has made me realize that I don't need to buy stuff that I really don't need or that I already have. You have inspire me to do the same and start de-clutting my life. Keep it up! You are an inspiration to me!!!
Christine, I cant believe that there is someone out there as weird as me!! lol.. I thought I was weird for keeping boxes and pretty packaging and cute bags but now I know im not alone! Just last month I decided to spring clean, we bought our house so I went ham and recycled all my boxes and packaging that i had been holding on to for so long, I just had to go at it and get it done and I felt so much better afterwards. You go girl!! Simple, clean and clutter free baby! woot!
Can you imagine what you could have done with the money you spent on all that stuff? Its good to see the begining of your recovery.There are so many people on youtube with the same illness
i love the way you think. very similar to what ive been thinking/experiencing in the last few months. And it's so true, you feel so much better after everything is gone!
Lol - random guinea pig. That really made me laugh. Love your organization and everything looks so pretty being separated like that.
christine, i cleaned out my drawers while watching/listening to this vlog LOL it was so therapeutic!! when you were reprimanding yourself i was dying because that is totally me....keeping lipstick boxes....leopard print anything...hahaha. but honestly, i love the whole idea of just decluttering and being DELIBERATE with purchases...im super inspired now to whittle down. hope youre doing well!
Thank you so much for doing this series! This is what I needed to see! Everywhere I look on RUclips there is so much excess! I'm starting to become obsessed with collecting makeup and it's getting out of control! I'm constantly watching videos and thinking "Oh, I need that!'' just because of all the hype.This has really helped me sort of like a reality check lol, but seriously, I think what you're doing is really going to help me get back where I need to be!
Thank you!! Shooting part 5 today!
OMG I just lost it when the guinea pig walked by....love the videos , thanks for sharing! Definitely inspiring me to clean out and reorganize. I have a nail polish hoarding tendency.
I think it's wonderful that you are understanding the thing with collection. I love collections and stuff to, but one needs to be oh so careful. Happy for you, it takes time to understand.
I think what you've done here is AMAZING! It inspires me to do the same!
thank you, Christine!
It's nice to see people putting their unused makeup to good use. Don't get me wrong I can remember I used to sit for hours on end watching people's makeup collections and I'm glad I stumbled upon this video because I wanted to start a huge collection and buy a ton of makeup when I got a job. Now I have one I came to the realisation I don't need a lot or hardly any because knowing me I wouldn't even use it. The amount I have is a small minuscule of you're higher end products. Plus I don't use my makeup much as it is!
The highlight was the Mac fix plus! I can't stand it either!! Thank you! And thanks for the inspiration and motivation😊
wow you have changed, you gave me hope to upgrade my style. keep up the amazing work
Oh that would be awesome right! It would be such a positive message and inspiring sight to see more people doing this on YT. Of course I realize some people are makeup artists and need large makeup kits for work, freelancing or blogging. But I know there's more people just like me out there somewhere... where it was just a hobby gone out of control LOL.
LMAO best part at 7:37 " im living now!" damn straight toss it thats me too
you inspired me to declutter my hallway closet yesterday and it looks fabulous!LESS IS MORE,RIGHT?!!THANKS SO MUCH FOR THESE DECLUTTER VIDEOS AND LOVE THEM!
I really appreciate your honesty in this video! I can definitely relate to being sucked into new products!
I am so glad to hear you and your husband are OK. Love LOVE this video series. God bless you!
I really like these videos not really for the decluttering part, I don't have nearly as much as you, but I like it for the organizing part. It really gave me a lot of good ideas!
She is giving it to a womans shelter..giving it to woman that have lost everything and would be content with one little sample! I totally respect her for that!
Nice inspiration to prioritize and make sure we actually CARE about the stuff we have.
I love when you drive around to different stores and show what you're buying it give me lots of idea. And you are so beautiful I remember watching the last video when somebody says stop trying to be 20 something I hate when people voice their opinion a negative opinion you are beautiful
I'm glad you simplified your face routine! I mean, I see all of these young beauty gurus with great, youthful skin, piling on primers, eye creams, day creams, night creams and all that stuff in skins under 20 years old, who in the end all they need is a good wash with just water... I have listened to my mother too and all I do is a proper soap wash in the morning and my face glows... You don't need all that stuff sitting on your faces girls! :)
You had such funny comments in this one,& LOVED seeing adorable Mitzi! You have such great integrity and purity of intent too - like the seed oil telling the company & making sure you sent the whole set as u promised someone u wld do. That is incredible since your parents were not able to be present for you growing up - where did you learn your integrity? 😮
i love watching these videos of yours in particular, you just inspire me to let go of stuff i dont need/use/want and actually use things that i love.
you also inspired me to get rid of all my packaging i have kept ! haha
lovely video as always xx
Wow I commend you on your discipline & your self-realization of collecting so much stuff. This is very difficult for some people. I have a very close friend who honestly is hoarder. Not saying you are. This is a very sad/frustrating mental condition because they can't/won't admit to it. I know he needs professional help but its hard because he refuses! He collects/buys and NEVER throws anything out!! I keep praying for him!
You are ruthless, today! I wish you could be on my shoulder when I clean out and organize!!
Lol
You have totally inspired me, so I have had the best clear out of most of the things I don't use...feels great xxx
I recently had a clear out of my own. I was searching for these videos but only found project 10 pan ones. It really is SO much more satisfying having only a few products that you use. Great vlogs, thank you for sharing with us :)
hahaha Mitzy running for the hills made me laugh! Love these videos Christine, and stay safe from the tsunami!
OMG girl! I have always kept the boxes too! Chanel etc....
I completely understand your love for kabuki brushes, packaging, etc. I don't understand my own obsessions with certain makeup items but we can chalk it up to that double X chromosome I guess! I love this series so much.
HAHA "Oh man I could be a grandma, how did I end up with these doyles?" I love your personality. I applaud you for decluttering. I have the same problem and started this weekend with my clothes. I also have not been able to finish my MAC fix +... I see a lot of your habits in myself. It is refreshing to watch your process.
