Keep the pretty green plates. Next time you send food to someone, put it on the pretty plate with a note to fill the plate with a treat and pass it on to someone else.
I will have to remember this for dishes I want to donate!
May I gently suggest we think carefully before gifting obligations. A note saying you don’t need the plate back would be lovely.
Oooo I actually think that would be so cool to share with friends and family. Like a gifting plate. Any time you want to give someone food the plate goes with it and see where it ends up every so often. 😍
I would use the green plates for Christmas cookies to give friends and neighbors. Just add Saran Wrap and a pretty red bow.
Great idea! :)
What a great idea!
Love that!!!
I keep a lot of things "just in case" only if I have room or a place for them. Things get tossed if they get in my way or aren't used in 5 years. I loved the ideas for the green plates people gave, use for Christmas, etc.. My favorite videos are when you shop, open boxes from Thrive, or the veggie boxes, and when people send you stuff. You have a lovely family and it is fun to see how great you all get along.
Women's shelters and homeless shelters will take the conditioners.
I came here to suggest this.
I was thinking the same thing. Also sober living houses
If you have any conditioner left, use for shaving legs,, my friend taught me,, works great!
Christine you are good at everything. Don’t sell yourself short.
Kitchen stuff is gold for kids going to college. Pillows for college. I would keep all of that in a bin for Haley
Christine, I don't know if you this would work for you, but I have two shelves on my walls in my living room because I wanted the freedom to change the pictures and frames when it wanted and I wouldn't be tied down to something if and when my style changed again. You go girl with figuring out your new style!!! Woot woot!!!!
Totally start putting together Hailey a hope chest for when she goes to college or moves out on her own. Nothing big but a designated tote where good functional items can go. Example those mixing bowls. Someone just starting out would be delighted to have them. Wish my parents would have done that for me 😀
Re the plates: one philosophy would say “if it’s not a firm yes, then it’s a no.” It doesn’t sound like they are contributing to your life, just your inventory. They’ve become another what-if item.
Love your videos-of all stripes!
Keep the pretty green plates in your kitchen for 6 months and try to use them a bit. If you find you're not using them by Christmas, donate them then
Agree!
I agree, I think they look like good serving plates. You could put cookies or brownies or muffins on one. It would be perfect for serving a cheese ball with crackers. Or maybe a cake like a birthday cake if you make a homemade one? I think they would be great for every once in awhile when you need a nice plate to serve on. You seem to like them very much so I think keep them at least until next year if not forever. And if not they would make a great gift. Give away a nice food gift with one of those plates. Another thought is to keep one or two and give one away! They are beautiful plates. 😍❤
@@lauraclark92 Agreed. Perfect for serving plates.
I love that method -- when I discover an item I forgot about but think I like, I give it a deadline of usefulness before donating or officially keeping, lol
Hard water cloudiness: Fill with vinegar and let sit for several hours. They should be clear. I've done this on bowls, glasses and Pyrex.
Thank you! Came to the comments just for this advice on how to get rid of glass cloudiness. 🧡
Today is saturday and I went to a corner of my formal dining area that had piles. I am leaving in a few minutes to donate 2 boxes of puzzles and 4 bags of large print paperback books. That was my 15 minute declutter for today. Thanks to you and minimal mom for the motivation. Thanks Dawn!!!
Keep the pretty plates. You don't use them because they are in the basement!!! I agree with Linda Metteauer - give them as a gift!
This is the best habit ever. Also if you have some sentimental stuff that really is useless clutter. Organize it nicely take a photo for the scrapbook and get rid of it😁 you can’t miss it if there’s a picture of it in the scrapbook🤣
Better yet digitize the scrapbook and set it to video :)
I say donate the plates. You don't need them for plating. You have great plates the whole family uses and work great.
The look on your face when you saw your husband in the mirror!!! I laughed way too hard at that.
Donating is great, but I've read several things lately from places like Goodwill that accept donations and they are saying to please not donate broken or ripped or other unusable items. They do not have the resources to fix or mend things. Only donate things that, for example, you would give to a family member or friend. There are also people who are donate/dumping their junky items during hours when the donation places are closed! Just leaving the stuff sitting there. This makes so much work for the people working there. Good, clean, usuable items are much appreciated, of course! (Just posting this in general to get the word out. It's not directed at you, Mindy! You're obviously doing it right!)
Thanks for this video... I have been starting do some 15-minute declutters and they ADD UP!!! Even just doing a couple of kitchen drawers, or one messy dresser drawer is a HUGE benefit, and really encourages me to move on the next area in my next free 15-minute chunk. I call it Decluttering Chunks.
I would declutter the plates.... you've never needed them before. great little declutter.... some progress is always better than no progress!!
Yes, keep the green dishes for fruit plates or buffet meals. Since the plates are very generic you could use one plate on a sink counter to hold hair products and lotions, etc.
My mom needs to watch these vid. Anyone else have a mother that has a entire house of”just in case” stuff
My parents have an entire bag of plugs that they cut from broken appliances. Yeah I think I know that you mean!!
I grew up with a "just in case" mom. She grew up in the 1930's great depression when you had no money for anything so you saved everything just in case you might need it. Some times it spills over to the next generation:)
@@marjoriejohnson4559 I was just going to say that! It's definitely a 'depression' mentality, which I understand. My grandmother always said 'it's a sin to waste' and that's in my head no matter what. I try very hard not to buy things unless I really need them and not to throw things away if someone else can use them.
My mother in law kept a single roll of wall paper that was metallic images of couples engaging in "the sex". One roll was not enough to even paper a small space...she would need 2 rolls...so she saved the one..Thank the heavens she never found a second roll, or that bathroom would never have been fit for company
You should donate the plates. You are real life great at decluttering. Good job!
"Just in case" I love it... cuz I do that as well!!!
DV shelters will take the conditioners. Also, save any unused travel bottles of shampoo, body wash, etc. that you collect from hotel stays. Those are great for DV shelters and toiletry kits for teens going into emergency foster care placement.
for anyone watching who is not as privileged.. I just want to say it is absolutely ok to keep things “just in case”. Not everyone can afford to get rid of things and replace them later if needed. It’s ok to keep back ups and just in case things if you’re financially strapped.
You hit the nail on the head with saving stuff “just in case”. I was so guilty of that. I used Dawn’s quarantine tip for my iffy items and it has been so freeing to go donate those boxes. Making housework much more manageable.
A couple days ago you posted your pantry redo…. At 4 o’clock in the morning when I was watching RUclips I couldn’t sleep (yay insomnia ) so I decided to do our baking cupboard and cereal/snacks cupboard. Girl!! We had 6 Open boxes of stale cereal to throw away and five open pancake mix boxes that had almost none in it. And yet we just needed to keep all of them. 😑 I felt really good after I finished that. Thank you for your honesty big families are a lot of work and I for sure can relate!
I just finished watching this video it’s about 3:45 in the morning (again yay insomnia) thinking i’ll do our linen and medicine cupboard today haha.
Thanks again! Sarah
having worked in 4 different op shops/charity shops id encourage you and everyone to not donate anything that is like those glass bowls, cloudy or stained. they just sit on the shelf and take up space and don't sell. you could use them for dog water bowls or planters. better to recycle them instead and save the charity shop the $ they pay to get rid of them.
FYI inexpensive hair conditioner is the best thing to shave your legs with it actually conditions your legs and is abeautiful smooth cut. Great job on the declutting
As a professional organizer, I say "WTG Christine!" There is ALWAYS something to declutter :)
if you still have cloudy glass hanging around, try running your dishwasher with a couple of kool-aid packets. I used to do this periodically when I had hard water and it works magic. It cleans the dishwasher too. There is a lot of acid in that little packet of drink mix.
OMG....I suffer so much from 'just in case' syndrome....I need an intervention 🤩
Gift bags? Those are perfect for sorting extra soaps and lotions from your bathroom closet...then donate the whole bag. For some reason, I can only get rid of a few bottles or tubes at a time. Slowly thinning it out. Also good for excess pens, pecils, sticky notes...
Love it when I get on RUclips and there's a frugal fit mom video! ❤😁
Plain old vinegar eats through hard water deposits (acid + base = clean glass); it doesn't work on glass that has been actually etched by the water (at least the ones my parents have - I tried), but it's perfect for those plain annoying mineral deposits.
Hi FFM,
CLR cleaner will clear up a lot of foggy glassware you do want to keep. It’s great for mason jars that fog up.
You can use the conditioner to make fabric softener. Works really well actually
Take the conditioners to a local church that has a food pantry. They can give them out to folks in need. Our church has a table of items donated by people that people can pick off of. If I find things on clearance- make up, feminine hygiene products, toys, shoes, stuffed animals new with tags on, underwear, etc (you get the point)-little treat type things that food pantries don’t typically give out, I donate. Everyone needs little pick me up type items to brighten their day. Not saying conditioner and feminine hygiene products are treats but you get my point. It’s not canned veggies or beans and rice.☺️
Giveaway the plates...to friends, with baked goods on them. :)
Aw man I’d love to paint flowers etc on the plates and you could hang them!😉
I'm never this early! Woo Hoo!!!! I love decluttering my life. Get rid of the green plates!!!
To get rid of that foggy glass baking soda and salt paste apply to the glass..after a little bit rinse...the glass should be clear...good luck from Florida
Homeless shelters. Always need. Personal care stuff. Like that conditioner.
Donate the plates definitely. You will never miss them.
If you haven't used it in a year, get rid of it. As pretty as those plates are, you don't really need them. Your plating already looks amazing.
Put things you are unsure of in a opaque box and store it in the basement. If 3 months go by and you don't remember what is in the box... donate it without looking inside. Dawns tip.
I inherited a glass vase that was my grandmother's. It's very narrow at the top, and wide at the bottom, so it's impossible to clean and has had the same type of cloudiness in it for years. I recently used it for some flowers, and then the flowers died and the vase was pretty yucky. I washed it twice with dish soap and hot water, and it was still cloudy, so I finally poured in about a cup of white vinegar, then added more hot water and let it sit for about a half hour, rinsed it out and after a good scrubbing on the outside, it looks nearly new!
I just declutter my house and I'm having a yard sale tomorrow! I also had a set of glass mixing bowls I got 10 years ago from my wedding and I HAVE NEVER USED THEM!😳😳😳 They're going bye, bye!
Love the green plates. Put them in your kitchen. Give it a few months and if you dont use them donate them.
Good job decluttering! Fyi conditioner is the best shaving cream!!!!
OK so decorations in my home. They're either sentimental or pretty and practical.
I was secretly hoping Dave's giant mugs were going to find their way into the donate pile :)
I wish!! 😂
Hmmm. I can see the argument now … “honey, me and 500 of my RUclips followers agree. Your mugs have been voted out of the house.” 😂
I just commented the same thing! I still remember she said a great way to pick an argument with your spouse is to try to get rid of their stuff
My hubby was in the hospital. I reorganized his clothes chest. He never knew what he had and it was a mess. I got rid of a bunch that he’ll never miss. Sneaky and totally legal after 62 years. 🙄🙄
I so love to watch your videos! I just realized I don't have things hanging on my walls in the house, and I like it this way. Good thing I'm not the only weirdo. Haha! #fromGermany
Green plates are pretty and large enough to use for serving and not as place settings. :D
Yay for nothing on the walls! My walls are empty(ish), and I love it. It's peaceful.
I love this strategy. I have a get out of the house bag in my closet. Anything I done want goes in the bag right away. When it’s full, I just grab and donate
Thank you for being a great inspiration! Hubby says he can tell the days when I watch you. Says I am a woman on a mission! 😁
I just decluttered the same nesting bowls! Donate the green plates, since you haven't used them!
I love this! We are moving into a smaller home while we build our dream home. I am so nervous about downsizing! I've been trying to declutter small areas each week. I definitely need to shed the mentality of "I'm keeping it for just in case". Thanks for the motivation!
Well thanks this this quick bit of sunshiney-motivation, I have 3 grocery bags full waiting to go to Goodwill now! I have stayed on top of clutter pretty well the last few years but of course it's a never-ending process! I was in the right kind of mood today, after watching this, to not overthink things and just be at peace with letting them go if they were serving us no purpose and just taking up space. The wulda, coulda, shouldas, weren't enough to justify those items here anymore!
Use the green plates for gifts of treats at Christmas. The conditioner I would donate to a food pantry. Personal items are usually in short supply and are so helpful to get.
Another idea for a food pantry is to create birthday cake kits. A box mix, a tub of frosting, candles in a disposable pan wrapped in plastic wrap. You could put a gift card in for a small gift if you like as well.
The Suave conditioner you and Haley can use for shaving your legs. It makes you legs so soft and smooth after!
I love your enthisiasm!
Christine you probably have already gotten rid of the conditioner but if you have not if there’s a women’s shelter in your local area they would love to get that I have a nonprofit organization for abused women and their children and we love when we get donations like that!!
You can remove the buildup caused by calcium and magnesium ions in hard water by swabbing the glass with acetone (nail polish remover), and then scrub gently with a mild detergent. Soaking the glasses in plain white distilled vinegar for 15 minutes is another effective home remedy.
I will take those plates 😃😍😁. Any chance you can bring them on over…I ‘m just down the road from you a little…Hill Country Texas 😆. They are gorgeous, and really fit my decor vibe. Otherwise, I say like a couple others have said. Clean them up and keep in the kitchen, until another declutter round. If they are in your lune of sight, you may start grabbing them for lunches or snack trays, etc. or, use them as your presentation plates for your many food videos.
Yes! I do this about 2 times a day. I will set a timer on Alexa and not sit down until it's done lol
I also like using the little chant "Don't put it down.. put it away" on a loop.
Put those pretty plates on your wall! Heehee
I use conditioner to shave my legs. But giving that away is kind. Someone out there could really use that.
@@tanyafulton5261 so much better than shave cream! Been using it for years!
2 rules I use:
If you haven't used it or wore it in a year, get rid of it.
And when I declutter/clean, I act like I'm moving and ask myself would I need it or use it.
Me too! When I declutter/clean, I also act like I'm moving and ask, "Would I want to pack it in a box, pick it up and move it?" Nope! Ain't got strength in my back for extra stuff. xD
Add “would I pay to have this moved to a new place?”
Nailed the 15 min declutter! Danke, friend!
That T-Shirt Looks Reality nice on you!
Keep the plates, those are nice!!
Your spice rack: amazon has those exact ones but they also expand like your old one. So I got an expander one and it takes up my whole cabinet and looks exactly like your new spice rack.
Conditioner are great for shaving 🪒
I would keep the green plates and wash them up and if you don't use them in a couple of months then get rid of them. Also conditioner is excellent to use to shave your legs with....it makes your legs really soft.
I also like that your walls are plain. It makes the house look calm to me.
I love decluttering videos, they do help with motivation haha haha.... you can use conditioner as a washing machine softener. Just add some water :-D. I love the walls like this, so restful.
I would keep the plates for display or setting food out for parties etc.
Cristiane!!! Get the scrub daddy paste!!!!
Short and sweet, and very motivating. Thanks.
Put the plates on the wall behind you during that segment. They are large enough to look nice up there!
I would keep one plate for staging purposes. I don’t have a lot on my walls either. I always joke that I Have commitment issues with home decor. And because of that I really don’t like to spend the money on stuff like that.
Bare walls are beautiful, your house by itself is beautiful....
Conditioner is a FANTASTIC shave gel. I only use that instead of the expensive stuff.
I do 15 minute cleans all the time. It doesn't do everything but it makes enough of a dent that I feel better.
My daughter has had those bowls for 26 years. She uses them all the time.
I would suggest donating the green plates.
You could use the pretty plates as wall decor… 😎😁
I'm sure your step mum has given you other things that you use and think of her when you use them. Donate the plates, don't keep the guilty clutter. Side note the food bank will also take the hair conditioner. Like the video.
Donate the plates. You have to remember that whatever you keep, you have to use, store and/or clean. If it's just collecting dust, then it needs to go into the donation pile~ I really don't do "just in case" anymore. It just takes up space. The less stuff you have, the less time it takes to clean and organize it. xD That's my motto!
Good Morning 😃
Thanks for this video. I'm currently trying to declutter so it's motivating. I'm sure you know about the hint of using conditioner instead of shaving cream, if not here you go! I don't use shaving cream to shave anymore, I prefer to use conditioner!
I’m the process of decluttering my house. I have different sections broken down so it’s not as daunting. When I’m done, I’ll go back through and skim the top again, so to speak. I don’t feel like I’m getting rid of as much as I’d like to.
Pretty plates are awesome for serving, also citric acid will help with hard water buildup. I even add it maybe once a week to my dishwasher .
We’ve been in our house over 5 years. Other than a calendar in the kitchen and an atomic clock, I’ve only hung one mirror in the living room (because great grandma gave it to us 😁) and pinned a Frank W. Benson print in the master. I’m very slow about decorating. Now, we’re replacing windows and updating interior paint. So, I hope to hang some things in the next year. Haha
I’d keep one green plate to be my designated cookie plate to bring to parties. If I forget it or it doesn’t get returned, no harm done. The other 2 can get donated.
Another great way to get rid of clothes and un-used hygiene products are by donating them to a women's shelter many places have them local they r just very discrete because women are there for many different reasons they also sometimes have children with them love your videos and wait for the notifications 😂💗
You can use hair conditioner as shaving gel. It moisturizes and smells nice. But that'll only use one, so maybe donate the rest.
Ditch the plates!
Keep the plates to serve appetizers at a party!
