“The Courage to be Disliked” by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitaki Koga. I know you may not see yourself as a guru, but you have become one of my favorites. I cannot wait to read your first book.
something i’ve learned with reading a lot is that it’s ok to not want to read a book anymore or dnf it, to not let it become an obligation. i also keep a list of books i want to read in my bullet journal, sorted by genre so when i’m in the mood for something new i can look for it that way. the more streamlined and less obligated it feels, the better and the more you read that’s meaningful. there’s a quote from my favorite book that says something like “it is better to know one book intimately than 100 superficially” - best of luck with your reading adventures!
I’m currently re-reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I’ve attempted once before to tidy up using this method and ironically, I fell into a lot of pitfalls Mari Kondo talks about. I kind of gave up but I’m trying again :) It’s so cathartic to see you tidy. 💕
Listening to your voice and watching your videos for me is like having a very calming therapy session, so thank you! And also making me feel normal that I’m not the only one who uses some of their weekends to clean and organize instead out going out!
omg even the shots of the bathroom were making me overwhelmed too... there's SO MANY BOTTLES!!! stay strong rowena i hope u sort through all of that without too much trouble
Hello doll. I'm almost 53 years old and absolutely gain so much knowledge from you. Please keep these motivational vids coming. It truly doesn't matter the age to learn something new. Have you done a video on how you bullet journal?
Thank you thank you thank you for putting up a video! Your videos have helped me so much in my season of depression. You are such a wise and bright soul and your amazing advice is very much needed. Sending lots of love and appreciation🤗🤗🤗
loved seeing your little library, I lost most of my book collection in a fire in 2017 and ever since I've been kinda afraid to invest in more books. It's always refreshing to see your realistic yet positive take on getting organized 💖
I've recently cleaned up my room and house, and kept it in order for 2 weeks now and I feel amazing!!! Totally agree that organizing "your outer world puts your inner world" together as well🤗
hii rowena!! i have a video request if you don’t mind, could you do a video on your notes?? i heard you saying something about notes in your story and i was intrigued..
I´ve been decluttering these days during the quarantine - clothes, skincare, makeup items, books, paperwork, drawings, socks, decoration, furniture .. E V E R Y T H I N G. I truly need less items in my life since I felt like suffocating. Also, thank you very much for your videos ♥ I do not only like watching them, but being inspired to move on too ^^~
Your videos have literally changed my life. I work from home. I used to spend all day worrying how to manage home and work together. Until i came across this channel. I love your videos i watch them over and over again when i m demotivated or PMSing. I can't thank you enough girl. Lots of love
Always love these videos from you, Rowena! It always motivates me to do my own cleaning. I feel you so much in regards to the books! I would force myself to get through a book even though it no longer interested me, which I learned worked against me in the end because then I would see reading as a chore instead of a leisure activity. Also, one thing that totally changed the game for me in terms of reading and being more mindful in consuming and consuming less is going to the library! It seriously changed my life. I used to love buying books - and subsequently most became books I never ended up reading. So now I go to the library, borrow as many books as I want, and if I really love the book, I purchase it for my own collection! That helps filter out books that I love from ones that I enjoyed reading but don't necessarily want to keep. Just thought I'd share in case anyone out there is looking for a way to save money and be more mindful of what comes into your space. Thanks for sharing this video!
I love how your apartment is laid out like a hotel room. It gives me a such an uplifting feeling since I usually associate hotels with very memorable vacations
Thank you for this video, omg. I am rarely inspired by videos like these, Idk why (maybe it was the mindset/environment I was in when I watched those particular videos) but this one did. Like, I literally feel like getting up right now and going through stuff and Marie Kondoing some stuff and yeah. But it's late at night and I have college tomorrow so I am making a promise to myself that the next time I find myself with free time, that's what I am going to do. Thank you, Rowena :)
Can u make a video on organizing your skincare/makeup and makeup/skincare tour? Your skincare cabinet is skincare goals! It would also be great so you could recommend some more skincare products!💖
I definitely need to go through my closet this way. I have been wearing the same outfits for too long, so I either need to rediscover my closet or let go of things I'm no longer drawn to. I also need to make time to start reading again. Miss it so much :(
I got crazy over cleaning and reorganizing lately so this video was a real joy. To me it is fascinating how a simple swipe of dust can bring so much positive energy into space and make you feel so nice and renewed ..Much love to you girl :3
When I started reading multiple books at a time sort of depending on my mood I definitely started reading more and as a side effect finishing more books too!
You have such a calming and positive energy. Very rare on RUclips:) You always remain true to being genuine and realistic, and this makes your videos so special and enjoyable. Keep doing what you do, you inspire and help so many people:) BTW, that mini bookstore of yours is a little corner of creativity and freedom for the mind, I love how you set it up in your apartment, with its own little dedicated space!
the thing about reading multiple books at once is so true for me too. I always feel this pressure to finish my books, update my goodreads etc before I go onto my next book. Screw that tbh, reading should be enjoyable and if I wanna read a romance novel before sleeping because Im tired, im gonna do just that! Love the video :)
Love...love...loooove this video! I am going through the same organizational/declutter challenges in my life. This video was so inspiring...thank you for posting!!! God Bless!💞💞
Rowena~~~~~ I really really love these kind of videos~~ They make me happy ~~ It's like i am doing the clean up while i am watching~ And i get my energy back after watching this !!! Time to study~ Have a good one!!!
I love you so much my sweet. I have watched to your videos since last week as I was looking for some advice to cope with the streams which are and going to appear in my life. Just like the rest who are listening and following the steps you had suggested, I have to say that they are really practical and super useful. It has been making a positive impact and change the way I think a lot. It indicates me to peace, harmony and bless away from the pressure, depression and anxiety that we accidentally has created. Anyway, I do not know why I fall into your voice, super cute.
I can definitely recommend going to the library instead of just buying books. If you decide you don't like it, or not in the mood for reading it, you can return it and check it out again if you ever want to. This has really helped me make space in my outer spaces. GoodReads is a good app to keep track of what you liked/didn't like, what you have read, and what you want to read.
I’m reading Designing Your Life right now too! A friend recommended it to me because I am trying to pivot in life and don’t really know what direction to take. Great book so far!
I'm planning my day of cleaning on the first day of spring.. And maybe even start reading Marie Kondo's book that's sitting on my table.. =) Hopefully, it'll be nice and warm, with sunshine beaming through the windows..
❤️ ur videos! Freezing in St. Paul, MN. Hope ur staying warm & as snug as bug. I’m a avid reader- cannot get enough of Psychological thrillers ! Big fan of ur videos & charming personality!💐❤️🌨
I started Konmarying my closet on Friday for the first time and while I have quite few clothes, it's nice to be able to see them all at once. Otherwise I usually end up pulling a shirt off a hanger that's in the middle-ish, which used to be black and grey print tees (which I love), but I never really got to wear the colorful items on the sides.
Outliers by Malcolm gladwell is definitely a good read! Please put it on ur to read list instead of in the other pile 🥺 it definitely helped me learn a lot!!
Nice video like always, Rowena ! Was wondering if you can share some book recommendations ? I want to start reading again but dont know where to start 😅
Wow I read many books at once and feel it's the only thing I dont have to moderate 👏🏻💖 I loved the little book of Lykke. Would you make a vid about your faves?
Book rec: this is not a non-fiction (it's sort of a post apocalyptic sci fi novel) but: Station Eleven. It has a really good message - the main thesis of the book is: "survival is insufficient", which is a quote from Star Trek :) Basically the idea is that just surviving the difficult situation, whatever it is, is not enough: humans also need meaning, which comes through doing things we love and are passionate about, and music and art.
Rowena, I’m a college graduate and I was just wondering what types of jobs you have done over the last few years. You made time for RUclips and grew your channel, which is why I would love to know 💕💕 thank you!!
hi i noticed during ur work call you had ur journal out and i was wondering if u could do a tour of that? like not the details duh but like ive been having a hard time keeping a planner for school, a notepad to jot down random things and then another journal to rly record my thoughts and it would be so cool to see how someone keeps all of those things together in one place. i know youve done similar videos in the past but i feel like an update/a video more on organizing and just keeping all ur thoughts tidy, would be super sick
Aye! Princeton -> New York represent! Lol ❤️ Totally feel you on the vacuum lol! I remember when my family got a new vacuum and my siblings and I actually got excited to use it and help out
Thanks for making and sharing this video. It's inspiring. Care to share how long you took to finish every category please? I'm kinda stuck at the book category now XD
Hah, really funny that you uploaded this, I did the exact same this week, sorted out my closet and books. Still have to continue with the KonMari process though :-)
i love this type of videos ! it motivate me alot ! thank you ☕ ( i really need to clean my appart, and i have too many books) edit ;sorry for my english, i'm french :)
Have you started Think Fast & Slow yet? I have the book too but I only read the first chapter years ago. I was actually planning on starting it after I finish the novel I'm currently reading. Happy readings :) and great video. Very inspiring!
omg i have the designing your life book from a class i took in college recently!!!!! unfortunately i had 2 return it because it was a rental but i still have the workbook. :)
tysm to those who joined the premiere!

Having my outer world organized also helps with my productivity and overall wellness. It just feels good to be in a space I can work and relax.
