We are decluttering and organizing one of my favorite rooms...THE KITCHEN! I talk about some of the things I have learned both from Marie Kondo (The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up) and Dana K. White (A Slob Comes Clean) when it comes to decluttering and organizing. They both have different approaches to clutter and I think there is value in each approach. Whose methods do you prefer? Dana, Marie, or someone else?

The last time I commented I suggested you stop apologizing so much and OH MY GOSH, woman! You have done a 180! I'm so impressed. When you set your mind to something, you DO it. Thank you for sharing that gift with the world.

Well, I think I did once at the very end, but it was more of a joke. 😁Yes, I'm getting better. I still have to remind myself I'm not going to please everyone, but that's okay. That just weeds out those who aren't "my people." Thanks for your support. 😊💜🙏

A friend of mine calls ‘awkward pauses’ habit stacking. It’s the only way I can get my kitchen clean- I do stuff when I’m waiting for other things to happen like the washing to be done or the kettle to boil. Can recommend! Especially if a person has executive dysfunction. Love your work Bonnie.

I was astounded when I realized that in the time it takes me to warm up a glass of milk (2 minutes on my electric stove) I can empty the whole dishwasher and put away those clean dishes! Also, I tend to clean up whatever I can from the kitchen counter while something is simmering for half an hour.

What an amazing transformation! Any cupboard or drawer in my kitchen is what I call “prime real estate” Only things I use every day or often can go there. Anything else, like the canning items, have to go in a pantry, garage, basement

@cat-mum-Jules 5 месяцев назад

Omg my mum had one of those green tupperwear grating bowl things when I was a kid in the 70's/80's that brings back memories. I don't like storing plastic food containers with the lids on because I like them to air. I've found that if I leave the lids on they can get old food smells trapped. I do the same with drinks bottles. Thank you for another gooden 😁

@micheleboschert175 5 месяцев назад

Definitely Dana K. White. You mentioned that Moira was overwhelmed. Pulling out all of the cupboards at one time was very messy and too overwhelming for Moira (also for me to watch). I had tried the Marie Kondo method. It can take days to go through all of the same type items to declutter and put away. One is living with mess and disorder. "I" do not do well with piles of clutter (disorder) as in the Kondo decluttering method. There is no overwhelm disorder in Dana K. White's decluttering method.You are able to stop at anytime with leaving no mess. Recently I decluttered and reorganized a kitchen drawer. It only took me under ten minutes to do this. DKW's method was very efficient, orderly, and with no mess. I did this before going to work in the morning. I knew that I had only about fifteen minutes before I needed to leave for work; so the task was completed with ease and no mess. I 've also used the same method for my food pantry. I cleared /cleared/reorganized one shelf at a time. I'm using her decluttering method throughout my home. I think that we all are finding out what methods individually work best for us.

@micheleboschert175 5 месяцев назад

p.s. I do use Marie Kondo's method for folding clothes in my drawers.

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад

I think DKWs methods work best for the majority of people. I do like Marie Kondo's method if there is a time limit to it and it doesn't drag on for weeks or months with the disorder. I actually forgot to mention in the video that Mariah at one point said that she could see why the Marie Kondo method is necessary in some places, especially when things have gotten stored in random places, so by pulling everything out, you can see all that you have and declutter it all at once. I suppose that still would work with Dana's methods, but you would end up finding some of those items later in the decluttering process and have to decide if there is space for those items and either do the one in one out rule or get rid of the item. Since I knew that we had two days to do this and there was going to be an end to it, I thought Marie Kondo's methods would work best for this situation, but moving forward, I think she should use Dana's methods when she is decluttering on her own.😊❤️

Great job! Sometimes I think we don’t realize how much can accumulate in our cupboards, out of sight, out of mind. I go through mine every three months and throw away or donate, it’s helped so much. I’m only 4’10”, can’t reach the top shelf of my cupboards even with a stool so anything on those shelves went as they never get used anyways. We tend to save things that we only use during the holidays so I put those few things on a shelf in my basement. I keep one large and one small crockpot…the rest donated as they take up so much space. You both did an amazing job❤

I was so inspired by your organizing I did two drawers and took everything out of two cabinets then came back to watch the end of your video. I had to ask the hubs to take down the stuff in the top shelves because my knees are still recovering and I am in a walker. Of course he wants to keep every jar because ‘when we garden next year we will can’. Well crud his idea of ‘we’ is only harvesting. I do the planting, fertilizing, watering and weeding. I’m not taking on canning. He thinks you just put it in the jars and won’t listen when I try to tell him the process. My parents used to can. He’ll give everyone botulism, I’m putting all those jars in the recycling.😃 Anyway thank you for this video, love your organizing.🙂

I do read all of my comments, actually. For now, anyway.😄 Someday it might not be possible. 🤔I agree with you on this point and have heard that it can be really bad to use plastic over and over and wanted to gather a little more information regarding this to show her because I know it would devastate her to have to just discard all of that plasticware, but I think, for her own health, it might be wise to do so even if it can't be recycled. But I do admire that she is doing everything in her power to be responsible about recycling. I think she can give herself a little grace and maybe toss the plasticware. Thank you for bringing this up!❤️

@schnetzelschwester 5 месяцев назад

I can only confirm andruschka's concerns. Plastic containers often contain phthalates, which have been proven to damage the endocrine system (causing diabetes, obesity or fertility problems) and to cause cancer. Fat from cheese or sausage can dissolve the plasticizer out of the plastic. Colorants can contain heavy metals that cause long-term damage to the nervous system. Who knows how many mental illnesses are at least exacerbated by plastic use? Retail packaging is only made for short-term use and the dose of toxins ingested is usually low. But if they are used regularly, especially for hot or fatty foods, the safe dose can be exceeded. Instead of buying coffee to go, it would be better to sit down for a coffee in a cafe or diner. Less hectic, more deceleration is also good for the mind.

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад

It sounds like we need to both go watch a documentary on Plastics and microplastics and how they affect our health. Maybe then she will be willing to toss everything and just vow not to get any more from here on out.😊

@schnetzelschwester 5 месяцев назад

@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Plastic is not always the devil's stuff if it is used appropriately. There are containers made of food-safe plastic that are designed for food storage, like tupperware. These are labeled with a spoon and fork icon, and often labeled as microwave or freezer safe. Plastic retail packaging is not food safe. If she has concerns about the environment, she should avoid buying goods in such packaging if possible. I prefer goods in cardboard packaging, tin cans or glass. They are either easy to recycle or easy to clean. It's hard to keep a house tidy and clean when there's so much stuff around. I have a single cupboard compartment reserved for empty canning jars. When it's full, I have to throw something away. I've thrown away all the disposable plates and cutlery because I'll never have any use for them. I've gotten out of the habit of hoarding things just in case. If I actually need something like that, I buy it new and don't use worn and dirty things. I'm unemployed, but not that poor.

But if you have help then its not so bad to pull things out and see it all before it goes back in, that can sometimes be a bit quicker for a big declutter blitz! I love Dana's way of giving things a home by asking where you'd look for it first if you needed it! Then when you go looking you actually find things! 😊

I still nest my Tupperware, but it is at least in same shape stacks, circles, rectangles, squares. I do store the lids in vertical rows, by size, in a deep drawer. Not a lot of cabinet space and I do go through things two or three times a year. I’m 5’8” so I Do use the upper shelves of cabinets, however, with age and arthritis, I moved the crock-pot, broiler pans, big stock pots etc to the bottom shelves and put things like paper bags, trash bags, and other light items that won’t give me a concussion or broken foot if it slips out of my hands!🤣

@schnetzelschwester 5 месяцев назад

I did the same. I put the items on the upper shelves in cardboard boxes from my husband's amazon-addiction that I have covered with nice wrapping paper. I attached small loops of ribbon to the bottom of the front. This allows me to hold the box by the loop when pulling it out. Then I can take out or put in the stored items whithout getting an avalanche of stuff on my head. To put the box back I just push it on the shelf, no need to climb a ladder.

For my tupperware, I bought the 'Rubbermaid EZ lid' I think it is. Now I should remember because I've bought at least 3 sets but a LOT went to other people's homes, not by choice. But, I finally one day dug out everything like you did here, however, I did nest my tupperware because of the lids. It's a 36 piece tupperware set and for me, I have all lids stacked by size. I have the 'bigger' tupperware-like for baking stuff-carrying cupcakes or cakes etc. at the top of our corner cabinet. The middle shelf, it has our big and medium lids on the left side (all matching and they nest and 'click' together, no losing lids, the smaller lids to the right side of those. Then bowls are all nested together as well. I do rinse out all plates/bowls, tupperware each time we use them for any dust that might be in them.Just easier for me with *all* my tupperware on one shelf. So, I have one shelf with *all* matching tupperware, then the top shelf has tupperware of different 'big' sizes that I don't use on a daily basis but it's there for when I need it. Bottom shelf is just plates, bowls for our corner shelf. I did toss a TON of tupperware years ago though after going through what felt like hundreds of pieces. Thank goodness, someone came by and picked it all up for me. Whew.

If you have the space, I agree the Tupperware should have the lids on. Like you said it makes it so much easier and you know if it doesn’t have a matching lid then you can get rid of it.

I'd throw in Mack's move out move in method. For something who has a lot of stuff it may be too overwhelming but when I did it I moved back in just the essentials that I use frequently, that fit in the container, and then items that sparked joy. It really helped me make a decision on items I waffled on.

Hi Bonnie. I loved the job you did! That was a great idea for the canning lids! Im going to change mine like that! I think it's great that you're calling us your beautiful messers, lol. Can't wait for your next video.

Oh my goodness. That’s a massive amount of clutter. So many unused items that she does not need. Great job cleaning it out.

@scottmiller9098 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for showing the little pics of the cleaning products you use. I know it takes you extra time to do that, but I appreciate it. I also wanted to mention that part of being friendlier to the environment is REDUCING. Reduce what we buy and what we have. I've mentioned before, Americans have too much stuff. Less is more to a clearer life view.

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад

Very true. And Amazon doesn't help. It's way too easy to buy stuff! But, I absolutely believe less is more. The less you have, the more freedom it gives you. 😊👍

@janiewerner Месяц назад

I agree. All that plastic has already been manufactured and purchased. Letting it sit in your cabinet unused isnt taking it away from the environment. Dispose of it and vow to not buy more in the future. Reduce being a consumer. 😊

Hey Bonnie! Quick suggestion with the editing, you may already do this- if you clap in front of the camera before you start, it gives you an easy way to sync audio and video (just match the waveform of the clap to the frame where your hands touch). I am LOVING your content! So satisfying, and now I'm curious about this doc too. Much love from the UK :)

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад

I love this suggestion! Someone else mentioned this in the comments and I had no idea that was part of the reason for the Clapper boards when filming. I love learning these new little tricks. Thank you so much!❤️

suggestion for lining up audio with video, they do the claps or movie clackers for a reason! if you need to do that in future, definitely remember that for yourself :D loved the video! ♥ as well as the adding the used items in the corner

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 4 месяца назад

So, funny story. A couple of other people suggested this as well and so I did that with another video where I shot from two different angles and then realized that one of the cameras doesn't even pick up sound, so I couldn't sync it by sound, but it was helpful to have the clap that I could see clearly and try to sync it to that. It did make it slightly easier.😄

I also reuse the plasticware. I use it for putting inside our car when the restaurants don't give us plasticware, I have it. I have some for picnics as well as for using for garden markers and garden critters. I also keep some on hand for trips as well if we travel.

@lisaruiz6799 5 месяцев назад

I put ours into plastic zippered bags though. If our kids come over for food, I always send some plasticware with the food.

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад

My spice racks are hanging on the wall over the stove. They're in matching bottles and in alphabetical order (I'm sick, I need help lol). I'm going to have to move in a few months and am dreading the thought of having to organize a new kitchen. As if packing up and pairing down weren't bad enough! 🤦‍♀️ I wish I lived near you so you could help me not lose my mind lol. "Mariah" is very lucky to have you!

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад

That sounds like so much fun to me.😄 I love starting fresh! I'm sure that will change as I get older, but right now, I think I would love to move just to be able to pare down and get to just what I need. I've learned a lot these last few months about stuff and how much it can be a burden to have too much, so I think that sounds like a good opportunity to get rid of a bunch of things. Good luck with your move!🫶

@debrad5783 5 месяцев назад

Looks great. I put my storage container lids vertically in a tub, which makes them very easy to find. I've tried all the ways and that works best for me.🙂 Those white dishpans work so well for containing items, and they're so inexpensive!

It's so rewarding to see those numbers grow. I was working on a hoarder house yesterday (my first real hoarder house on my own) when I checked my RU-vid studio and it was exactly at 40,000! I was so happy to see that number! Thanks for your support, Coline! I love seeing your numbers climb as well!🥰🫶

Hey Beautiful !!! I know it's a Lazy Susan but we call it the whirly gig 😂😂😂. What a blessing you have been to "Mariah" and family. You seem a little more relaxed this video, everyine finally well ??? Take care.

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад

I love hearing all the different names for a Lazy Susan. Yes, I have been feeling a bit more relaxed with my voiceovers. Practice, practice, practice...😁👍

@lisaruiz6799 5 месяцев назад

I'm anxious to see how you do this corner cabinet as I have one similar. Drives me nuts trying to store things in it even after decluttering 99% of my tupperware etc.

@jenniepearl306 5 месяцев назад

I like vertical storage concept and the idea when a cupboard is full don’t cram more stuff in it. I have only cookware I actually use.

@laricakrischel5629 5 месяцев назад

it is a cabinet Lazy Susan. I grew up with 2 of them on either side of my Mom's kitchen cabinet. They were great but it was before so much safety stuff and you had to watch out from smashing your finders.

I need to do Tupperware and that type of storage, organization again. My man putting dishes away again: open the door, shove it in. What? It all fits inside one another!?!?!? Lol I am neurotic about my spices. They are in alphabetical order. But…… before you fill your eyes…… so easy to find when you’re cooking. Baking supplies all in their own bin. Yep, lickity split when I work in the kitchen.

@sellyourhomenowbook 5 месяцев назад

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 5 месяцев назад
