ugh when RUclips glitched I was saying THANKS for going on this journey with me 🥹💐 Also: been thinking about livestreaming while i do my lil art projects or science experiments - what do y'all think?
You’ve been inspiring me and helping me hold myself accountable. I’ve DEEP cleaned my bathroom. I’ve cleaned my kitchen. I’ve organized my desk area. There is my utility closet, clothes closet, and storage unit as my last projects. After grieving the loss of my mother and being depressed for three years it’s been an absolute struggle. You sharing your mental health struggles has been so transformative. Giving myself grace has been an ongoing process.
Hey, I’m 20, so like mid-Gen Z. These are some things I find nostalgic: Barbie Dreamhouses, Wii Sports Resort, Pokémon cards, the Littlest Pet Shop toys, Cooking Mama on DS, and Monster High Dolls
You killed me with the skateboard. "Am i over the weight limit? ALWAYS. Keep!" 🤣🤣🤣 Same girl, same. You should become depressie-besties with TracieMae here on RUclips. She is HILARIOUS and sings a lot of silliness like you! 💕
OMG! I didn't know body doubling was the name for the thing I do! I was in the middle of decluttering when I saw you posted this video. I was like: Perfect, I can clean while she's cleaning. I do this with cooking and other things too. Thought it was just me!
Tamagotchi looks like a potential keychain, tbh. The deep bond with the things we buy with our adult money for our inner child is strong. Sparkly enamel pins was a big things at some point for me. And nobody could get me to get rid of the lego boxes, or gameboy games boxes (yes, all empty). I wanna be buried in a coffin made of these. (... ok, that's actually a cool idea) Love to follow along your journey. Thank you for making these. Great body doubling indeed, and even brain doubling i would say.
Omgawd 😭 You just unlocked sumn with that ‘buying things with our adult money for our inner child is strong’ (paraphrasing)…never thought of it that way…very insightful, especially if you grew up struggling, but made it to the other side as an adult….thank you so much those words!💛
Gen Z here! Things that make me nostalgic are Gameboys, Nintendo DS Lisa Frank stuff, Baby Phat clothing, Apple Bottom clothing and like lava lamps and house phones haha.
I don't even watch declutter/cleaning videos at all but I'm all the way here for your declutter series! You make these kinds of videos so fun to watch. You'll always be one of my fave creators!
I just have to say you were made to be a creator and RUclipsr, I have never felt more confident about this than with you girl. Just found you recently and I am so happy I did!
millennial nostalgia is sooo potent! I get genuine joy from owning and displaying all of my lil doodads and trinkets, curating your space and your stuff is just so satisfying. and I love all of the bright fun colours and cartoony touches
also: to do list shelf is GENIUS! i understand the struggle - i will prob end up having to declutter it too lol. but that's such a good way to encourage me to do my projects more. (i tend to talk myself out of creative stuff bc it's a lot of fuss to bring everything out and then put it back. but i only have but so much space!)
Evelyn, this whole montage makes me feel like you’re my soul sister, love this chaotic side of you 😩😂. Your energy is just perfect - pls keep it alwayssss!!! 💛💛
I feel seen! I have an orange ribbon that I saved because "Ima do something with it some day" 😂 I love the declutter videos. Thanks for sharing this journey with us 🧡
I too am a creative girlie who always has things in progress. Instead of focusing on trying to get to those things on a particular day, I create a couple of drop stations in strategic places throughout my space. I know I won’t always have or want a full day dedicated to work on my hobbies. Instead I use a larger basket or bin and place it near a work station or in a drawer. So when I’m ready to finish those projects, I’ll pull them out and work on as much as I can. Hope this works for you ✌🏾🫶🏾
I'm a 2000's kid (born in '94 so hard to call myself a 90's kid sometimes buuuuut anyways) When you were talking about nostalgia, I have recently been thinking a lot about incorporating hobbies that I used to love as a kid into my adult life now. (freshly 30) and I'm having a great time re learning how to have fun and embrace being creative on a regular basis. I'm an avid thrifter and I'm getting back into upcycling and altering clothes, I want to re learn how to draw and paint, embroidery has been a fun thing to pick back up...and reading new books too as a cozy year round hobby :) thank you for posting!
Cuz! This is right on time. I am also in a declutter/spring cleaning mode. The sinister "dumping ground" 🤣. I gotta few of dem around the house also. Its something about a flat surface that leads to this urge to place something on it 🤔 As for magnets, I also have a bag of bananagram tiles I want to make into magnets or combine with my OTHER bananagram bag to make a like a super bananagrams game😬 lol I really appreciate your videos, cuz. They either bring a smile, give a much needed deep hearty laugh or they give insight into how I can also be a better.
paper sorting is not for the weak!! ok for the tamagochi you could make that into a magnet. the ribbon can be used as a bookmark + maybe if you decide to get rid of the ikea shelf the pending art projects can go in the newly emptied clear bins on the other shelf🎉❤ I wish you and i both luck with the paper sorting 😢😅❤
Suggest-eion: replace the art above the art project shelf w/ a framed white board or a clear white board and use the dry erase markers *that you have more of then you actually need lol* to make a list of existing art projects... ooo you could put them in Onomatopoeia bubbles. 😊
Shoutout Dr Pepper bois one time I gotta go through my shit in the next couple weeks, before I move apartments at the end of July. It's just so wild (and kinda gross) how much I accumulated between now and when I moved into my current place two years ago.
She really gets it. She really really gets it. Also definitely not be blueprint for foundation of how film yourself and the process. Like what a great interNet art teacher. Also can we get the Tristan walker collab? 2024.
1. I said, “get ride of it to bout half these items” lmao 2. It was hard for me to get rid of my crown royal bags too 3. Class was definitely in session 2020. The learning was going crazy! 4. Go live so we can do hobbies with you! 5. This was fun, thanks! 🎉
I have ADHD. I’m a lonely girlie too and I have Mu head all over the place. Anyway, i started using the app called Finch. It’s a cute bird that reminds me to what to do and I can do lists. She’s supportive too. It helped me more than my calendar did as for now.
My daughters love playing with the mini brands and their littlest pet shop and lol dolls. So don’t throw away the ones you don’t want to turn into magnets. I’m sure someone with little girls would love to have them for their toys. They love having little meals and pretending to cook with their little mini brands pieces.
I give myself a 6 month to one year rule if I don’t do the project in that time then it’s a get rid of it also has to be visible to me or I will forget so clear containers 👌
We’re going to see that “crown bag” in a “declutter my living room” video. I just have a feeling. Also to answer your question, I have a “craft corner” in my room. It wasn’t supposed to be a corner but a “project shelf”. I know refer to it as “Voldemort”. We don’t address that space…
No sis, i don’t have a way to cycle through all my impending projects and bullshit in a healthy way yet lmao that’s why i’m here watching you do it instead ☺️
Cousins help, what on earth did she play on that hitclip. It's so distorted I can't tell 😭 The second song is Pump up the Jam by Technotronic but I can't figure out the first Edit: found it! in case anyone else is strugglin it's NSYNC's This I Promise You
If you decide to get rid of the tomagotchi I’ll buy it from you or you can donate it to me. 😃I had a gigapet a couple years ago and it got wet and sadly could not be saved 😞
@@taylor3950 I did the exact same thing! I was like I knoooow I can't be the only one who caught that lil diamond 💎 she just dropped. "Decluttering the idea of yourself"...whew I feel like I'm in therapy! Thanks for the free session Evelyn 😅
Evelyn, put your tamagotchi on your keys!! I bought one and never activated it because I have a living tamagotchi called a kid so I just have it on my keychain. It’s my emotional support nostalgic item. It’s also a convo starter. People love seeing mine lol.
To answer your question about projects: I do 2 things: 1. I have a page in my journal for the current active projects. That helps me visualize how many. I try not to be judgemental about what is on there. Every once in a while I rewrite/draw it if it's feeling stale and that helps me understand if the project is still important/interesting to me. 2. I hold crafting nights at my house. I invite a group of folks over, provide snacks, and we all work on our own projects. Some folks do the same project every time, my ADHD does not allow that so I just go with whatever I'm excited about that day.
I love the idea of crafting nights. I have so many crafts that I start then don't finish. I think I'm going to start this with my friend group. Maybe a little glass of wine, some snackies, good friends, and crafts!
For my craft cabinet I do "Are you actually excited to work on this?" vs "does this item vaguely stress you out" and get rid of all the stressful ones. When it's just stuff I'm excited to work on, I actually will.
I actually muttered the Marie Kondo "Does this spark joy?" line at some point while watching this video 😅. I meant it just to be funny but then I see your comment and you know what? I like that approach. I also have seen more than my fair share of Hoarders episodes to also be careful of the "Maybe I'll get to it some day" fallacy. Maybe I will, but likely I won't.
Maybe label each self with a 'use by' date. Then if they stuff is still there when the shelf expires, OUT IT GOES to trash/recycling! P.S. You're the best.
“Am I ready to give up on her?” WOW, that whole anecdote about decluttering an idea of yourself really resonated with me. I’m going to use that as a check point the next time I need to purge.

"Have I scrapbooked? No. But I believe in myself- *laughter*" i had to rewatch that because its so funny and relatable 🤣
You killed me with the skateboard. "Am i over the weight limit? ALWAYS. Keep!" 🤣🤣🤣 Same girl, same.
You should become depressie-besties with TracieMae here on RUclips. She is HILARIOUS and sings a lot of silliness like you! 💕

your decluttering videos are so relaxing and comforting for some reason. keep em comin sis

This one got some sinister laughs outta me. Whew lmao
1:23 😂 the power that that has
Evelyn, this whole montage makes me feel like you’re my soul sister, love this chaotic side of you 😩😂.
Your energy is just perfect - pls keep it alwayssss!!! 💛💛
Love the decluttering content! You should put the chemistry projects on the IKEA shelf. Those are creative projects, too!
Your videos genuinely make me giggle. Whenever I'm feeling down, I can put on one of you videos and get an instant mood boost. Thank you. ❤
Why don’t you make some of these task a video idea?? Scrapbooking, science tings, etc.
"you're decluttering the idea of yourself."..hit harder than anything this week so far...cuz why is this so true?
I feel seen! I have an orange ribbon that I saved because "Ima do something with it some day" 😂
I love the declutter videos. Thanks for sharing this journey with us 🧡

I love using spare dust bags for grocery shopping (fewer of those little plastic bags in the house)!!
28:52 I literally just realized how nice your PC setup is. I remember way back when you just had your laptop and one of those stand things.
I'm a 2000's kid (born in '94 so hard to call myself a 90's kid sometimes buuuuut anyways) When you were talking about nostalgia, I have recently been thinking a lot about incorporating hobbies that I used to love as a kid into my adult life now.

If Evelyn aint a 90s kid...I dont know who is!
Cuz! This is right on time. I am also in a declutter/spring cleaning mode.
The sinister "dumping ground" 🤣. I gotta few of dem around the house also. Its something about a flat surface that leads to this urge to place something on it 🤔
As for magnets, I also have a bag of bananagram tiles I want to make into magnets or combine with my OTHER bananagram bag to make a like a super bananagrams game😬 lol
I really appreciate your videos, cuz. They either bring a smile, give a much needed deep hearty laugh or they give insight into how I can also be a better.
blowing on the bubble maker like an old game cartridge to make it work is a foolproof method!
paper sorting is not for the weak!! ok for the tamagochi you could make that into a magnet. the ribbon can be used as a bookmark + maybe if you decide to get rid of the ikea shelf the pending art projects can go in the newly emptied clear bins on the other shelf🎉❤ I wish you and i both luck with the paper sorting 😢😅❤
loved this and the amazing definition of what decluttering can be, at the end of vid. Thank you :)
The lined notebooks. So relatable. Every last one of them MUST go
I'm putting the Austin craft thrift store on my itinerary for my next Austin trip.
Ohhh, Daugh-tah, how you crack me up!😄😆😂🤣😅😂🤣YOU. ARE. A. STARRR!🌟
Suggest-eion: replace the art above the art project shelf w/ a framed white board or a clear white board and use the dry erase markers *that you have more of then you actually need lol* to make a list of existing art projects... ooo you could put them in Onomatopoeia bubbles. 😊
You are Awesome!!! Thx for making me smile & laugh today😊❤
I’d put the empty notebooks out on display on that empty shelf to inspire you to use them since you’ll be able to see them!
I have a tamogatchi that I havent even pulled the tab out on. lol we NEED IT!!! lol
I cleaned out my basement today and when I rested I watched this!
Shoutout Dr Pepper bois one time
I gotta go through my shit in the next couple weeks, before I move apartments at the end of July. It's just so wild (and kinda gross) how much I accumulated between now and when I moved into my current place two years ago.
You did an awesome job in the paper clutter video Kudos to you
I love your content, thank you for sharing!! Also, I think you streaming a crafty craft would be awesome!
She really gets it. She really really gets it.
Also definitely not be blueprint for foundation of how film yourself and the process. Like what a great interNet art teacher.
Also can we get the Tristan walker collab? 2024.
Loved this video. I need to get moving on decluttering my storage unit. Oh and you can me those lined notebooks 😅
Yay! Evelyn of these Internet streets. The❤😊 streets are paved with gold.
I’m a creative too and really need a consistent crafting day too cuzzzzz guuuurl…I have about 2 boxes of crafts/projects in progress. 🤦🏾♀️
Hit clips was it 😂
1. I said, “get ride of it to bout half these items” lmao 2. It was hard for me to get rid of my crown royal bags too 3. Class was definitely in session 2020. The learning was going crazy! 4. Go live so we can do hobbies with you! 5. This was fun, thanks! 🎉
Omg. The journal entry with a date but no year. That is me!!😂
i think i'm living in my beige pterodactyl days. Loved this vid!
I love all your pop art.
Whatever you do I am going to watch♥️
Not gonna lie, I'd live for chemistry set videos!😂😂
I too am looking for my construction paper for a really long time.
I have ADHD. I’m a lonely girlie too and I have Mu head all over the place. Anyway, i started using the app called Finch. It’s a cute bird that reminds me to what to do and I can do lists. She’s supportive too. It helped me more than my calendar did as for now.
Once a week I dedicate to my hobbies of crafting Kandi making to be exact I say keep the shelf and give yourself a free day to do a project
Love this video!
a thrift store for art supplies??? that sounds incredible.
Skateboard = Wall Decor 🙃
My daughters love playing with the mini brands and their littlest pet shop and lol dolls. So don’t throw away the ones you don’t want to turn into magnets. I’m sure someone with little girls would love to have them for their toys. They love having little meals and pretending to cook with their little mini brands pieces.
Watching this while I declutter lol
this decluttering as a millennial is so real and relatable.
For the love of God, just throw it all away! This video makes my nerves bad! LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yesss girl❤❤❤
I give myself a 6 month to one year rule if I don’t do the project in that time then it’s a get rid of it also has to be visible to me or I will forget so clear containers 👌
Omg ur hilarious I enjoyed ur video 😂
....How often is "Periolicly".....would you say? 😂😂
LOVECRAFT COUNTRY THO- you had to be there
i love you so much evelyn lol

Love you, gal. Q = what is the hate obsession with notebook "lines"?
Cousins help, what on earth did she play on that hitclip. It's so distorted I can't tell 😭
The second song is Pump up the Jam by Technotronic but I can't figure out the first
Edit: found it! in case anyone else is strugglin it's NSYNC's This I Promise You
If you decide to get rid of the tomagotchi I’ll buy it from you or you can donate it to me. 😃I had a gigapet a couple years ago and it got wet and sadly could not be saved 😞
inside a pLasTik baG! 🤣
Wait but i do sometimes in fact feel like a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag...
Since you came back to vlogging how much do you make from YT?
Baby Blo doesn’t watch your videos!? 😂
This is ABSOLUTE chaos and it hurts to watch you keep scores of useless crap you will never use.
But like why do you hate the lines in notebooks?
'Decluttering the idea of yourself'
Young generation s word girl, super y, amazing world of Gumball
More folks should welcome me to their bosom :smirking_face:
'decluttering the idea of yourself" is LITERALLY SO PROFOUND. I'm going to think of that the next time I declutter because I relate to that so much.
I second this, relate so much! ♥️
She dropped a major gem 💎 when she said that. Wow. 🤯
Yeah I immediately had to scroll to the comments. I need help unpacking that like I need help unpacking my boxes 😭
@@taylor3950 I did the exact same thing! I was like I knoooow I can't be the only one who caught that lil diamond 💎 she just dropped. "Decluttering the idea of yourself"...whew I feel like I'm in therapy! Thanks for the free session Evelyn 😅
Same. I was like wait…🤯🤯
Do you ever feel….. like a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag, inside a PLAAASTIC BAG? 😂🎵🎤 imma need you to drop the remix
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bagception!
I had a mild existential crisis when she sang that because…sometime I do feel that way, I just didn’t have the metaphor…just me? Nvm…
When Evelyn said that, my husband and I (in separate rooms, I didn't even know he was listening) simultaneously replied, "Yes." 😂 #eldermillenials
Not trying to pay the copay 😂😂😂 yes girl, stay out of that urgent care
She was also on smooth, hardwood floor, zero texture. That was an ER visit in the making for anyone 😅
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley lol yes the ER.
Evelyn, put your tamagotchi on your keys!! I bought one and never activated it because I have a living tamagotchi called a kid so I just have it on my keychain. It’s my emotional support nostalgic item. It’s also a convo starter. People love seeing mine lol.
Your kid as a living tamagotchi is wild! Yet accurate 😂😂😂😂
i rewinded that "inside a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag" part so many times 😭 i need someone tech savvy to clip that for me
I want her to make it a short so, I can watch it over and over again!
I clipped it and posted it because it's iconic AF. 😭

I also have seen more than my fair share of Hoarders episodes to also be careful of the "Maybe I'll get to it some day" fallacy. Maybe I will, but likely I won't.
Can you do a Science with Evelyn series!? Would love to see that and you'd get to finally use the science kits...!
“oh lord, these are mementos…” loool you’re so right to skip that for now
I’m SO glad you kept the skateboard & the Blockbuster game. I was stressing lol
edit: omfg not the skateboard 😩😭
I know! 🥲
Maybe label each self with a 'use by' date. Then if they stuff is still there when the shelf expires, OUT IT GOES to trash/recycling! P.S. You're the best.
“Am I ready to give up on her?” WOW, that whole anecdote about decluttering an idea of yourself really resonated with me. I’m going to use that as a check point the next time I need to purge.
