Christine, I absolutely loved this video! I would love to see more like this in the future. I love what you have done with your home. It seems much more minimal and so lovely. I always go away feeling so calm and relaxed after watching your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your day with us.
Christine, you’re re such a lovely person. I’ve watched your vlogs for years and you haven’t changed, such comforting homemaking videos, or sharing ways of healthy living, or of things of interest that pertain to your and Michael’s life and giving your viewers the pleasure to try a little of what you do! God bless you and Michael, a great couple!
I actually started cleaning my house 7 months ago, it is still in the process.. I have donated thousands of items, I have thrown away numerous things, I have deep cleaned some of he bedrooms... & as of yesterday I'm slowly, but surely seeing major results.. I have more to go.. baby steps.. lol
@@barbarab1001 Thank you so much.. It has been overwhelming at times, I have had the donation truck come pickup 3 times, slowly but surely getting it done.. lol Thanks for the encouragement..
Thanks for posting. I've been wanting to clean my house for years and been trying to do it in baby steps as well. I have so much to do that it gets overwhelming. I've figured out that if I set the timer and clean what I can in that amount of time, I get stuff done. Also have donated tons of stuff. Have lots to do still, but seeing your post has given me motivation.
keep going! and remember it will go in phases, I found it would get really cluttered again for a while whilst I was processing items and getting them out the door. Then it felt calm before the cleaning and decluttering storm hit again!
Started watching at 8:30 pm, stopped this video half way, put in a load of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, finished the video and now the laundry is done 🤩 Thank you! Also, love how you rearranged the living and dining room, looks so cozy! 😊
I love all your videos Christine. I would like to share one thing I have found with scouring powders is what my mom always used called Bon Ami. It is guaranteed to never scratch. Also it is low acid and I've never had an issue with the fumes. I have used Bar Keeper's friend and it works great but I have breathed in the acidic fumes before. I owned a cleaning business and I ended up using Bon Ami and/or baking soda exclusively after experiencing lung issues with fumes. I even experienced breathing in harsh fumes from the natural cleaners (like Mrs. Meyers which I had to stop using as well), so the water and vinegar you use is great as a general all purpose cleaner..
Those wraps look delicious and beautiful! If you put the clothes drying rack outside in the sun, the clothes dry so much faster and the scent on the clothes is soooooo nice!😊
Your house looks great. Minimal but very “homey” looking. I’m trying to use less plastic. Bags, bottles, etc. It’s so hard. Everything has so much packaging now. Makes me crazy but I’m trying and doing better. I need to get back into making smoothies. Yours always look so yummy.
This was really nice Christine!! Funny how you can make cleaning relaxing!! I can dig it!! You rearranged the livingroom furniture! It looks fantastic!! Need a house tour again! Also, did not see the headboard on the bed, are you not using it anymore? I liked it. I got a steamer after seeing your first steam cleaning and yes it did an amazing job on my refrigerator!! I have also gradually been adding more whites into my decor. Actually painted my dining room chairs white and painted a white band on the table and distressed them just a little. What a difference paint can make. Thank you so much for the video and hope you are feeling much better now!! Can't wait for the vlog!! Have a great trip!! 😘❤
This made me want to clean straight away 😂. I haven’t watched you guys in a while. So good to see you happy and settled in your new home. It looks really beautiful 😍
Great video can't wait for the next one! I think the doors on the closet look nice, I love how you have everything set up and I loovveeee all the white with the pops of natural colors!! 😊💚
I used this video to motivate myself to clean my kitchen. We just had new countertops, stove, sink and oven installed so it was a mess from all the workers, lol. Thanks for the motivation, Christine!
Walmart sells palm hearts now. I love how the house looks. I am really trying to get my house more organized. I need to buy that cleaning powder that you’re using.
Hi Christine! Nice room cleaning! I feel that the dry palm leaves are not so good Feng Shui and that once the cholla trunks will be taken out of your house, all your problems will dissappear! I just feel that they symbolize obstacles and stagnation, although I do love trees and plants as much as you and I appreciate their esthetics. Just not inside the house... maybe give this a try and see how the home's energy feels? Enjoy your trip, I am looking forward to see you and your next vlog! Cheerio!
I found a collapsible dish rack white very cute that fits inside the double side sink, it was great help with space over the counter. I know you love white, me too
now that's a wrap,,looks so good,,,,,love cilantro!! I'm on my second cold this season i figured i would binge watch you tube videos all day now I'm going to clean after watching this LOL!!
Happy New Year! Thank you for making the smoothies! I just got a Vitamix for Christmas and it is intimidating. I need a few ideas! I have not been able to find Hearts of Palm at Costco so thanks for mentioning TJ’s.
Hi Christine, Which steamer do you use again, way better than mine? Thank you! Tell Michael hello, we miss you two filming together. Also, loving that Barkeepers, looks way better than Comet! Thanks for the tips! As for the wraps, Id love some spicy peanut sauce on those and coconut milk in the creamsicles, yummm! 😋
Christine, there are reusable ziploc bags, all sizes. You can find them on good ol Amazon. Just wash them out and reuse, and they're super sturdy. I love them more than the regular ziplock.
I don't know how you eat that without some sort of seasoning or cooking the inside veggies. I couldn't do it. Beets smell like dirt, so thats a no go. I like the smoothy idea though..... and CILANTRO OMG Yum!
What alternative would you recommend to vinegar? So many “upgraded” rental places use granite (which is soooo no upgraded or luxurious smh) and can’t use vinegar to clean
I noticed this Comment -- I was looking at apartments in Boston online -- granite countertops are ubiquitous! Lol, the trend is, they act like counters made of granite are somehow the Be All And End All.
maybe you can give us some tips on keeping all your whites so white. i want a white/cream couch so bad, but im nervous that its just going to get crazy dirty.
I love your tire story :D Sound kind of like me trying to explain a car thing and the only time I actually had to explain a car thing was with a rented car and I had to do it in a foreign language, that I do know on a level that allows me to talk quite freely, but oh boy, was that my worst conversation ever!
Tfs..Enjoyed the video..cant clean this house with vinegar..My son hates the smell..😝..bars keeper..good stuff..Hope you both had great Holidays & Happy New Year..🎉🎊🎉oh the wraps looked yummy..😊..Have an Awesome Sunday😊..💕aka Lynn B
@@aliblue3605 Oh you'd be surprised what landlords do when they have a renter that actually takes care of the place!! If she asks I am 1000% sure they would have no problem letting her. I am in a rental as well. I've painted the kitchen cabinets, bathroom and livingroom cabinets. Covered the awful formica "navy blue" counter tops with a marble look contact paper. Made it look 10000% better!! Enjoy and live how you like wherever you call home. Whether it's a rental or purchase. It's still your home. She's loving it and it shows!! Happy for her!!! 💕
Me starting the video while my cat ask for attention. We start with the kitchen. Look away 3 seconds, retourn to the video. 🤔 Is it alreaydy after? Then realize it was not.🤣 If my house was unclean like yours I would be an happy camper all year! Need to get m'y s... Together. Love you, please a vlog😍
Do you think you and Michael will buy a house,you have such a beautiful home and great taste in style,but renting you are limited to what you can do,I can just imagine your home if you had one of your own
