Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I will try to have a couple more videos out before end of the year and then taking a week or two off. Thanks to Sophie for being such a sport! Love to you all this wintery season❤❤❤

I think what I enjoy most is the respect you have for the clients, friends, and family that you help. Now, I can appreciate that organizing, cleaning, and purging are not the same thing. Thank you, Carla, for starting a journey I didn't know I needed. ❤❤❤ Keep these videos coming!

I’ve deployed Tupperware-type containers with missing lids as drawer organizers and it’s worked fine for me for “junk” or desk drawers 😀

There is something very peaceful about a half empty cabinet or drawer. Less chaos is good for the brain! Sophie did a great job in decision making! Another inspirational video, Carla!

Growing up, a few days before the New Year, my mother would go through the house, organizing, cleaning, and stocking the pantry and refrigerator with food. On the Eve, we would all be showered, well dressed and well fed. She believed that how you presented yourself upon greeting the year dictated how the rest of it would flow, and I find it is true. Attitude is so important. She was a lovely mother, wife, and homemaker. Thank you for sharing!

So envious! I was an organizer in L.A. for over 20 years and moved out of the country last year. I JONES for organizing and now I end up watching declutter videos to calm me down and quell my need to organize. Great job, ladies!

I want to personally thank you for your videos. I made it a mission 30 days ago to downsize my 24' long closet (2) 12' sections on top and bottom. I finished up this week and ended up donating 9 trash bags to the homeless, 5 trash bags to a friend with a flea market booth, and 2 large trash bags to The Hope Center in IN. The Hope Center is for trafficked women. I went from 194 in 2019 before my adult son shot himself (I was his medical care provider for a year) to now 135 at the end of 2023. Thankfully he has moved on in 2022 to another city with his 2 children, wife, and her son. We were all living in a 1,100-square-foot house. It feels so good to get rid of clothes I will not wear since retiring in 2021 after 47 years in the insurance industry. Thank you so much again. Merry Christmas to you and everyone who watches your videos. PS - It took me a total of 30 days but I eliminated over 180 hangers from my closet with clothes that went bye-bye.

If you take any wax, whether it's cooking wax or a candle, and rub it along the tops and bottoms of the wooden drawers, it helps them close and open more easily.

What's helpful to me is keeping a bin in the garage for thrift store. The minute I see something to donate.. IN THE BIN! Amazing how quickly it fills up. My donation center benefits the women's and children shelter so it does my heart ❤️ good too.

I loved how she said “looking at this I feel like breathing is easier”. Exactly how I feel after declutterring/cleaning and sitting back and looking at my progress!! “This says, this woman has her shit together.”Exactly!!!! 🤣

Love it One cupboard and one drawer at a time. Thank you Sophie for opening your home so we can be encouraged.

She did such a great job… with the help of our girl Carla! Awesome 🎉

I can’t get over the amount of storage your friend has in her apartment kitchen in LA. That’s incredible! You all did a great job decluttering. 👏🏽

Great job! Love that cabinet! Just an idea - move the lint rollers to the cat drawer. I have mine on my cat shelf. Since I always need to de-lint my long hair cat hair, my brain associates the rollers with cat stuff. Before then I would loose the rollers all the time! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

Yes, BuyNothing is amazing and so much more than a place to donate, resource and declutter. It is community, and kindness. 😊 Also, yep on Earth Breeze. As a person who is space challenged, has limited strength, and my laundry room is communal, I'm thrilled to not have to lug, refill, or deal with big bottles of detergent anymore. And a huge thank you, Carla, for inspiring, encouraging and being that visible 'push' we all need. And all in a fun, humorous and relatable way. ❤

I love that build in cabinet in the kitchen.. honestly I would find homes for everything else and use that space as a pantry and kitchen storage.

Okay when I heard her say she likes to make cards out of old calendars, I LOVE that idea ❤

Another great declutter with friends. She got a great start on the biggest area of her kitchen. I LOVE that top cabinet. I wish all kitchens had large pantry cupboards like that. I'm glad she feels so much better. It does give you that feeling like she said of feeling like you can breathe better. Also the doors close now YEAH !!!!

Creating 'cat'egories for each shelf and drawer seems to be the key.

I absolutely LOVED watching this video!! I felt the struggle of decluttering your “old technology” dvd collection 😅 I’m 26 years old and am currently working on building my dvd collection of childhood classics and all my favorite Disney movies by thrifting most of them from goodwill! My main reason being that I need to be able to watch my favorite movies regardless of internet connection. Of course I have Disney+ but don’t always have Wi-Fi so dvds and a portable dvd player it is! 😂😊

I always keep a several dvds for when my internet goes out generally bc of storms and I’m Sooo glad I do! We were recently without internet for four days i still had stuff to watch 😂

She did amazing. When she took out the nail polish and said all the details.. I was like that's me too. Especially if it's a gift.

So cute how happy Sophie was. That is very relatable. Decluttering is a great feeling for sure 🎉

There’s actually a lot that’s not streaming and even if you’ve bought a movie digitally it can be removed from your library at any time.

I literally checked my notifications this morning for a video and here I am blessed with one. Amazing job, on both your parts, decluttering at the yearend always feels so good. But here's my problem with streaming--the shows and movies are always moving depending on company contracts, so to see five of my favorite movies, I would more often than not need five separate streaming sites, and girlie just don't got that kind of funds. I keep my DVDs for when the world ends and all I need is a monitor and a player.

i SO SO SO appreciate how you seperated into piles for trash recycle and buy nothing - I understand for very big projects that's not always doable with time constraints but it is so refreshing to see a responsible clear out and not auto-dumpster it!!! also I love my buy nothing group!

This was fun to watch and I laughed with recognition because I've kept many of the same things as Sophie in the recent past, including old calendars...and I have many years on both of you. Finally managed to let go of them (past lives), only keeping a file of those pages with my own photos. I do frame/hang them which makes me happy. Great results in four hours, plus an afternoon spent with a friend. Win/win. (Thanks for a new author to check out too.)

The blouse you're wearing is so pretty! Thank you for this great video and wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with wonderful moments and many blessings! 🎄❤🦌☃️❄🦔y

So proud of her. It would be cute to see the console & bookshelf painted her teal colors. I can't wait to see more. James did a great job on the floors. I love this because she'll be putting things away & decluttering more.

"My friend told me my Pyrex was toxic." People are so gullible. Think how many millions of Pyrex bowls have been made over 60 or 70 years and how many hundreds of times they have each been used. We would all be dead. I have been using my Pyrex for 50 years.

I love that she’s such a casual stoner 😂 she seems so cool she has a good vibe for sure I can see why you’re friends!

Dear Carla, Hello from Cyprus 🇨🇾 I’ve been watching your channel from the beginning. Your videos have given me and many others hours of encouragement, inspiration and motivation to clear our spaces. I sincerely thank you for all of your efforts in every way, you help more than you could possibly know. Wishing you health, wealth and productivity for the new year. ❤

good job!! my only real comment is that i might have kept more favorite dvds rather than relying on streaming to access them if she rewatches them regularly. streaming can be unreliable and then you would have to keep in mind what services you have and what platforms each movie is on. but if she doesn't rewatch too often, should work fine.

Ok, I just found your channel and I have binge-watched many episodes while I declutter, cook, and clean. I love your relaxed and effective approach. And the music is fantastic!

I envy the amount of cabinet space she has.

Thank you for sharing your life and your friends also❤

I've used lidless to-go plastic containers as drawer orgnaizers!

Watching this after the holidays….happy new year…you are a great friend and sister 😊❤️

"One day, when I have......"

I like my dvds, sometimes its not streaming or not on a service I have. Or for road trip with kids, or vacations.

Those gloves!😄 My dermatologist prescribed numerous of these to me to wear at night with a special cream. Nope, can not sleep with them. I use them for dusting, especially delicate items. Love it 👌

Idk what it is but you literally do the best decluttering videos ugh I wish I had a local Carla to help me pare down on my stuff without me getting distracted for hours by every little thing

I love those kitchen cabinets and of course the beautiful kitties 😻

Right at the start ....CUTE top on you Carla!

Some of the Tupperware you’re recycling would work for drawer organization. Looks great! Happy holidays!

Great video. I’ve always kept my dvd’s and books and games, I think ppl are too dependent on the internet these days. Gotta keep something around to entertain yourselves when outages happen.

She did a great job 🎉

i LIVE for these videos!

The Tupperware without lids can be used to compartmentalize drawers.

I bet Sophie loves that ‘click’ sound every time her cabinet doors close! She really did great of course with your wonderful guidance. I have the next 10 days off of work and plan to make some decluttering happen! Have a lovely holiday Carla. 🥰

I really like your new friend, she's cool! That's a great cupboard/drawer unit, tons of space. She did a good job. Nicely done!

vaseline gloves: just use socks. do your research on the pryex having lead. I was told that too and trashed mine, but then heard that there is one random person saying that, so it hasn't been confirmed.

She did an awesome job! Since I don't have anyone willing to help me with this I wish I could afford to hire someone

I love all her storage space! Great job decluttering!

Your content makes decluttering fun. I have a long way to go but I’ve been able to let go of more than I expected, without regret, since I started watching your channel. You make the process joyful and I really appreciate that.

Ooh I love all the randomness before and I absolutely love all the organization! So fun 😊

Earth Breeze is great - I found it a few years ago, and it does really well. Nice that they are sponsoring you. Well deserved.

Look at you Carla in that pretty blouse! This was great, love the process. A cool vintage kitchen.

Streaming keeps you on the hook for monthly payments. If a DVD is of a movie/series you rewatch often, I recommend keeping it. They also work if the internet cuts out! To conserve space, you can get albums where you just store the discs and chuck the case.

PS LOVE our local Buy Nothing!!! Good plug!

That was a great transformation of a storage cabinet, I think now she could use some organization solutions, like bins or baskets to group things in the drawers. Good work you deserve a space you love. 😊

I love these videos!! I’ve actually started to do this for my friends…makes me so happy to help others…. Watching from southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

If you rub some candle wax on the drawer runners the drawers will slide a little easier. Your friend did a great job of letting things go.

Love when people are really ready to let go! Wish that to everyone!

Good grief ... such a difference ... thank you Carla! Merry Christmas to you and Sampson!

Declutter with friends is fantastic!

I love decluttering this time of year to start the New Year fresh.

Have a wonderful Christmas, love her cabinets. Well done you always do a great job & so brave of your family and friends for sharing their home with everyone ❤❤❤

She is hilarious. I love her energy Carla. Bravo!

merry christmas and happy 2024. more to declutter in 2024, i am ready!

I’d put labels on the boxes. And the nail polish in the “pretty” bag!

Carla, you were right! For drawers, it’s good to put dividers in the drawers. Small ones for small things. Larger ones for bigger things. Then things go back into the same spot!

Great job. It helps B me. Nail polishes I used to keep too…toss them all. You just need clear polish between pedicures 👏👏👏👏💐

I enjoy your videos! I have heard people say " I may want this when I'm 60." I say this kindly as a woman in my 70's trust me - YOU WON'T and your kids won't either.

I have decluttered and dropped off 3 separate donation runs and feel accomplished but also feel like I need to declutter more. Once Christmas is over, I will be decluttering home decor to release the things that no longer suit my home or spark joy as my life is changing with children. Only down side to Christmas is all the new toys for the kids. But glad I already decluttered their current toys 😊

Great job Sophie! Progress over perfection! Next time decluttering is going to be one step easier and you will be shock for when you revisit that section of your home of how much you actually declutter again! So satisfying

Another wonderful video. Thank you! Happy Holidays 🎉

As a former Southern Californian of 30 years, I love all the Southern CA vibes -- the "woo-woo" box, the Trader Joe's and Whole Foods stuff, etc. :)

Great job! Merry Christmas Carla. 🎅🌲🤶

The other day I decluttered my nail polish. Yep I had nail polish from when I was in high school a good 20 plus years ago.

Great video! Everyone says that dvds are outdated technology, but with the price of internet services rising, 😅cell service rising, plus price of streaming services rising, I've definitely kept my tv series dvds that I love. If I have a few months where I really want to save $20 here and there, I could still have my comfort shows, but I have decluttered a ton of them at least. 😂

All your friends and your sister are so nice!

What a massive improvement. Edit - hope you have a good Christmas Carla.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love to you too!

I want more! As always delightful❤🎄🎅🏼

Absolutely love all your declutters! Merry Christmas 🤍

Merry Christmas Carla!🎄❤

She did great!! Perfect teamwork!

Great job girls!!! Merry Christmas 🎄 ☮💜

It looks amazing! 😊❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️

Merry Christmas! Great video ladies! X

That was fun! Very cool apartment! Merry Christmas 🎄

Amazing work, ladies!

I strongly believe your help here is the best christmas present your friend could ever receive

Great job ladies! Wow what a beautiful difference ❤️

This was so wonderful and inspiring to watch!

Great work you guys! This was very satisfying to watch. 😊

Love it! I need to start the year off doing this. ❤

Thank you Sophie, that was inspiring.
