My dear child...I am 67 years old and live in USA . My husband died 6 months ago and my daughters are grown and gone. Enjoy your life even the messy house. You will miss it as I do. God bless you dear! I Had a very small house when children were young so I completely understand. Focus on the good and not the bad. Be happy you can walk and move to clean. I am sending you a hug.
What a lovely selfless person you are. Not only do you clean your own house, but you long to clean houses for those who can’t and for nothing. I’m so glad you can have driving lessons now. You deserve them. Seeing a good declutter is so satisfying. Thank you.😊
@@remiclog Wow, so great I could make your day too, and that we can find a sense of community online with people ❤️ I keep procrastinating lately because of overwhelm, got plenty projects I want to do and get started, but when and where to start 😅
Screw the judgements!!!!! You put a name on my issue. NO ONE has ever done that before. I can’t thank you enough. Listening to your videos has helped me to find a beginning on my own battle with clutter. I’m almost 57, but I want to be like you when I grow up….lol. You’ve done more for me than even my therapist or doctors ever have.
I am an older American mom to adult children and grandchildren. I just want to let you know how much I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You’re real down to earth and absolutely adorable. I hope your channel just continues to grow to help you with some income and to give you an outlet for anything you want to talk about. Good luck on the decluttering. I did that a few years ago but time to do it again. Have a wonderful and beautiful day.
I’ve been loving your videos since I discovered your channel a couple of months ago. You’re such a lovely soul. Here’s a little something to help for your driving license
You have no idea how you are helping me at age 74! I am preparing to move from the home I’ve lived in for 46 years. You motivate me. I adore your accent. Sending you hugs from Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA
Remi I never usually comment on videos but I’ve just discovered your channel. Watching your videos is like having a coffee with a friend. Thank you for being your authentic, positive self ❤
Since I'm a 62 year old Grandmommy, the house doesn't suffer much clutter, but your videos are helping me FINISH cleaning projects that I've started and struggle to complete! They've also helped me keep from beating myself up about a lazy day or starting a project that can't be completed in just one day! The house is way too big now for two old people who's children have all grown and moved out, so it can be very overwhelming. Your voice-overs are very soothing to listen to, and I can truly say they've been such a help!
I love you and your videos! Been inside with 3 kiddos all day, working from home, cleaning after them as they've been trashing the house all day and trust me when I say, I'm ready to walk out lol. You really help me find a fresh perspective on mess and dealing with the overwhelm of it. Thank you!💓
It’s lovely to see the boys play instead of a mobile phone or iPad. I think No technically to a child after 10. They are losing there years on them instead of making memories with there mates parents etc. ❤❤
You are not alone in having "Cruel Clothes". I finally departed with DECADES old clothes that did nothing but make me feel sad and a failure because I am not shaped as I was in my 20s-30s. Once I let them go, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I might not have dropped 20 pounds in a weekend, but I dropped a couple of bags weighing out 20 pounds. May we continue letting go of things which no longer serve us, except to make us feel unnecessarily bad.
I just ran across your channel. I really enjoy it. I suffer from depression and anxiety. I have my days that I can’t do anything but lay on my couch. It’s helped me watching this. I will keep watching. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless you. ❤️🙏🏻✝️
Just wanted to reply to your comment, and to say that you are not alone - I have the same. It is really comforting to listen to a kind and positive person like Remi when we are struggling. Sending you big hugs 💛
I'm not a mom, but I understand the anxious thoughts that you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop. You are teaching me to be more gentle with myself and accept myself the way I am. You're a lovely person.
I remember the days of toys and clothes all over the house. No matter what I did, the little ones were busy enjoying every empty space they could find. Those days pass and up they grow
I kept clothes that did not fit me any more for years and years, finally decided to get rid of them. Started intermittent fasting and lost 14 kilos in about a year. My treat is that now, I get to buy new stuff as a reward! Love your videos!
Please don’t be hard on yourself, I’ve been there and come out the other end now enjoying grandchildren playing and making memories. When I was a young mum fussing about work, cleaning etc my husband always said to me what will the children remember a clean house or a visit to a beach, a park a picnic in the park, a picnic on the floor if it’s raining etc etc. You are doing a great job and your family will have wonderful memories when they are adults. Xx
What really boggles my mind when your videos is how easily and peacefully Ike can sleep anywhere 🤯 my toddler is a kid that needs a bed, a dark room, a noise machine, etc. This is probably because I taught her to sleep this way, not because she actually needed it. I’m in awe of your little babe!! That’s so great!
Oh, your little angel coming for a cuddle and falling asleep on you ❤ I really like what you said about your small house. Everything has benefits and drawbacks and we can just appreciate the benefits of what we have.
The first video of yours I watched was you cleaning your auntie’s house. My daughter has a mental illness and recently moved out of the family home she was staying in by herself for 3 years. I was out every 6 months to deep clean and decluttering the space. I’d be exhausted and I couldn’t help it, I felt resentful. It was always such a mess and because I needed to sell it someday to repay the loan, I was anxious that it’d be ruined by her mess. Very similar to your aunts but picture times 10. I’m not well physically so I was just overwhelmed every time I saw her and the mess. I love her to death but it just made me feel like I failed her somehow. Now, because of your videos I’m starting to understand why she couldn’t keep the space clean. Now that the she’s found her dream accommodations, I won’t be cleaning up her again because she’s moved out. I had a cry about that too because I love her, no matter how messy she is. Thank you for helping me understand how her brain works. This understanding is helping me repair our relationship.
Another lovely video, Remi Dear.... Where does the clutter come from !!! LOL. I did a massive declutter 2 years ago and find I need to do another one. You'd think at 80 I'd have it all together but not so. Love to laugh with you and I do admire you so much. Your hair is so very beautiful..Fondly, Dorothy. Edmonton, Alberta. Canada.
@@remiclogI'm a neurodivergent kinda gal myself, a mum, anxious, adhd, creative type and you're the only cleaner who motivates me. So much that I have yet to visually watch ⌚ video. Ha😂 I actually move and am able to get things done. I love the story you told in one video about yr dad. He made the affirmation app, you said, and I thought, so has she!!! Your dad must be so proud of you, love! You send us all such powerfully motivating and grounding messages that remind us to appreciate our messy lovely lives, to do the mundane little acts for family with love. Ignore any negatives as best you can, bc the good you're doing is coming back to you, I'm sure of it. I hope you make this a full career! You're gonna go far, and you may not realize that 31 is young but it really is! I love to hear you talk. My late mother in law was born in Liverpool. She came to the states and raised 10 children. The youngest of which is my husband of 20 years! I miss her voice so much and listening to you reminds me so much of her. Little words she'd say....for so many reasons you're a salve or a balm to my rough adhd, anxious brain. Hugs from the US. ❤ prayers for safety protection happiness and abundance to you! ❤ this was so long. 😂 hope you see it. But being adhd myself is understsnd if you never get to respond. It's more important that you hear love back than anything.
I took your advice and donated my clothes I don’t wear anymore thinking I will get down to that size but at 77 years old it probably won’t happen. I donate to battered women missionary place. I felt better knowing they were so excited to received them and some had never been worn. I got rid of so much that my closet it beautiful. I might even do more, I don’t work and I’m home most of the time except Church etc. so don’t need as much. Your declutter helps a lot of people keep up the great work I enjoy your voice on the voice over you touch my heart. God bless you girl coming from a little town in the USA state of Washington
You’re such a breathe of fresh air! I personally am a neat freak but you are so real, so likeable, and obviously such a lovely mom. I enjoy your videos so much!
I am having to do a huge "cleanout". I've had to combine my house with my parents. And I have a major mess that has been going over 3 years. My mom went into the nursing home and my Dad was not able to live alone. I'm an only child and happen to be single with only my youngest son (who is 44 and developmentally delayed and partially physically handicapped) living with me. Did I mention that I'm 65?...lol! So it was just something I had to do. But decluttering and downsizing gets so overwhelming to me. Even though I want to do it, it gets daunting! Not only do I take care of my son and father, but I worked a full time job from my home. Fortunately, I worked for my son and took care of the bookwork for his businesses. Watching your videos and hearing what you have to say about putting our life first has really hit home to me. I finally got to retire from working because my son found a fabulous secretary that I felt comfortable knowing she would take care of his businesses as I felt they needed to be. So, I am trying to slow down and take life a little more as it comes and trying to stop stressing about what is not done. Thank you young lady, for the encouragement that you give everyone!
Touches my heart to see you cuddling your little Tot, Ike. And you continue sorting thru & folding reams of clothes! Makes me tear up! I wish I’d done more of that with my one & only daughter - though she was a very slow nurser & I’d let her take her time, so she did get held & cuddled - and I did let her nurse until age 4 - last two years was just comfort nursing when she fell or was poorly - still I feel I could have done more cuddling! You go ahead and cuddle your boys as long as you want! No family put on Mom’s gravestone “Her house was always neat & clean!” They put words like loving, caring , beloved Mom. That’s a thank you for all the time spent cuddling.
Awww I also nursed my eldest till his 4th birthday, like you, the last few years were just once at bedtime. I plan to do the same with Ike, unless he decides he’s done before that of course 🥰
Remi, I just found your channel and I haven't left your side. Ahahahaha. There is just something so comforting in hearing you and watch you work. You are such a great Mom and I love watching you clean your house. You are inspirational and a rock star. I also love your heart. Girl, I am on your side and rooting for you. YOU ARE SO AWESOME. REALLY!!!
Thank you for giving me the motivation to clean up my depression mess! I was on top of it for so long and then life happens 🤷🏻♀️ but I know how good it will feel afterwards 🙏🏼
Love your videos. I once read somewhere: "cleaning while there are children present, is a bit like brushing your teeth with Nutella." But you are doing very well.
Your house is a home so it gets messy sometimes but your boys are loved and if it means cleaning or making memories with our children memories our children win hands down 🎉 they grow so fast
Thank you for your hard work. I have depression and am a single mum of a high functioning autistic child and always feel like things are to much. You have helped me feel like I'm not a failure. My son is 21 now and I have been dealing with everything myself. So thank you for all you do. You have done more for my self worth than a lot of things I have tried in the past.
Thank you so much for motivating us and being so honest and vulnerable with your thoughts and feelings! I think I can speak for most of your viewers when I say - we simply love you! 💕
I thank God for finding your channel! I see so much of myself in you and I love listening to you while I clean my home, it helps me feel better about myself instead constantly belittling myself for making the mess in the first place. ❤
Thank you for being such a positive presence in a world full of judgement, criticism, negativity, and hate. Every time I watch your videos it warms my heart and lifts my day. You are a true source of light in an often dark and difficult world. ❤
Can I just say thank you! I've struggled massively with motivation the last couple weeks and after watching a bunch of your videos, I finally gave my bum the kick it deserved and I've started sorting the mess, bit by bit! But each day I will get closer to getting back to it being clean and tidy! Xx
Absolutely loved watching wee Ike fall asleep in your arm(s) as you're dealing with the clothes, Remi. Super precious. He knows he is well loved! You are an awesome Mom!! ❣💖
Thanks for another great video. I understand you would like to be healthy. I am a type one diabetic and a recovered anorexic. I had the anorexia active for about 40 years. I have ruined my bones and my stomach. I weighed 89 pounds at 5 foot 7 8 years ago and now weigh 150 pounds at 5 foot 5 inches. I lost a part of my spine due to osteoporosis from a car accident. You are such a beautiful young woman. I am 15 pounds overweight by the doctors estimate. I am in a size large and I really love my body now. I am stronger and am not constantly cold. You look amazing just as you are. Get clothes that fit and make you feel as beautiful as you truly are. All women are beautiful. Lets celebrate that.
Your videos are always so uplifting and honest - something so rare on the internet. Im tired of watching fake people with stupidly expensive houses full of fancy stuff i will never be able to own. I love how real and honest you are. You are such a positive light while still being realistic. Much love to your and yours.
I relate to you so much. I have ADD and I can’t get one thing done at a time because I’m all over the house. And I stay very distracted. But I just got caught completely up on my laundry after about 6 months of grief hoarding and not caring about my house. I love your videos and thank you!!
This video was so relatable. I was holding onto 3 trashbags full of pre-kids clothes. I bawled on the floor while bagging them up, I mean ugly cried. I didn't realize how attached I was to that clothing. It was an unhealthy attachment, one that made me feel like a failure for not getting back into them yet, and an immense amount of guilt for purchasing clothes that I haven't used in years. It was such a freeing experience to finally be done with them while I continue on my journey to healing my body and mind.
My 3 year old insists on mismatched socks. My husband put some on him last night while he was sleeping, and he woke up just enough to ask, "are they mix match?" 😂
Just love your videos, I talk about your videos so much to my husband, he now knows you as Remi 😂 I just got done the other day after repeating myself so much saying "that RU-vidr I watch". Now this is what Remi's new video was about 😂
Delighted to hear you mention Dr Mindy Pelz and intermittent fasting! She is so knowledgeable and gives such great advice. I'm starting on a huge decluttering and tidying journey today and will be playing your videos plus Angela Brown's 'The New Tape' and Jessica Heslop's 'Cleaning Motivation' as inspiration. I loved the part where you cuddled Ike with one arm and continued sorting with the other 😊
I keep my clothes, too!! Lol! I put them in a tote and put them up in the attic. I got my driver's license for the first time when I was 29. I understand. 🤗
You are absolutely lovely. I am a 50 year old woman ,living in Alaska, going through menopause. I cannot tell you how wise and beautiful you are. You inspire me. You have mentioned menopause in a different video. You absolutely validated me. I appreciate you. I wish you all your hearts desire, you are such a blessing. Cleaned my whole home, which needed it, whilst listening, you even comment on people who just listen. Funny is I am also profoundly deaf, I use a hearing aid adaptation on my phone to listen while I clean after having been in bed for 2 weeks from depression. Keep up the good work. This world needs more of you. Thank you. I appreciate you.
Dear Jennifer, i am peri menopausal and what hit me like a tonne of bricks was fatigue, depression and the absolute will to do nothing. i just curl up in bed feeling bad for days, i have a million things to do, and i don't do it. Remi has been my motivation of late, and another thing, it turns out i have severe vitamin deficiencies. so do test yourself for anything u are low on, b12, d, hb. it will make a huge impact on your mood and energies if you address these ! also do try and exercise daily, a 15 min walk outdoors will help too !
If anyone deserves clout it’s Remi, I’ve been sharing your channels. Glad to hear you can go for your drivers licence! 🎉 wonderful talk, again. Go Remi❤
My oldest daughter is 7 and she wants to be a cleaner when she’s older, but more specifically, a cleaner for those who can’t manage to clean there own home, due to health issues or anything. How sweet is she….
Love your videos and how real you are. I also struggle with keeping things tidy and you make me feel ok about it! So I watch to get motivated and to feel better about my housekeeping!
Just found your channel. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety and having troubles with keeping on top of the mess in my home from time to time. I want to say thank you for being so open and honest with your struggles. It inspires me to declutter myself. My tips for the lost socks thing is to put all the used socks in one of those laundry bags used for bra for example and put all of it into the laundry.
You’re lovely. Thank you from America for making actual content I can relate to . As someone w pain and depression ( my dad is v ill) - just putting a special request for a video in which you list out suggestions of steps in each room . I want to say thank you I am basically playing your content and gradually in a very small small increments chipping away at my mess which is to do with sadness and pain. Thank you, love your voice and love your wonderful positive acceptance messages
I love having good smells around me, and I love plug-in flameless wax warmers. I have mine plugged in to the wall above my kitchen counter where the kids can't reach. To change out the scent you just unscrew the light bulb and put the wax warmer in the fridge until the wax hardens. And it pops out with a butterknife! Your videos and your talks are lovely and inspiring. As a Mom with some challenges, your stories resonate with me. Rock on!
Thankyou so much for your videos, im going through my menopause and getting stressed out about my house and keeping on top of everything was impossible and I was sinking in to depression, you have lifted me and give me the motivation to carry on,there are professional people out there that have passed lots of exams to help people with depression,and they can't do what you have done for so many people you are a beautiful person and I wish you and your family a wonderful life ❤ ❤
What a successful decluttering! Well done lovely 👏✨ it just goes to show how safe, happy and loved your children are, that Ike crawled into your arms for a nap ❤ that made my heart swell
You are wholesome and so relatable. I've only discovered your channel recently. I'm decluttering my kitchen at the moment, enjoying your chatter along the way as if we were friends, and we are in a way! I do consider myself as somewhat of a cozy minimalist, reducing the inventory of my belongings has been very helpful in managing day to day life. A lot of content creators boast a minimalist lifestyle and it looks different for everyone. I find having less stuff leads to less decision fatigue, plus I get to use/wear/play with all my favorite things all the time! Looking forward to all your videos!
I love your videos and listening to you chat about whatever you fancy talking about. You are so motivating and I always do some cleaning or tidying whilst watching and listening. You are an inspiration! And your boys are utterly adorable 😍 Good luck for the rest of the declutter, I'm looking forward to the videos ❤️
This was a good one for me. I've been trying to declutter, to part with clothes that will never fit again. And now I have a bunch of really nice things from mom's house (she's just moved to a seniors residence). No room, too much stuff
I started today as well… in my bedroom! Also, because it wasn’t as sainting. I have a giant home. And it’s full. So I’m taking one room a day and circling back through all the rooms once more until the end of August. My goal is to have it all gone in 28 days after hitting each room twice. (We all know some rooms will take more than one day to slay…. Or closets ) 😂😂 Good luck!!! I’m with you! ❤
I had the same problem as you keeping clothing that no longer fit. I would tell myself that it would fit perfectly if I lost 5 pounds or 10 pounds. But I never lost the weight. I ended up with 3 sizes of clothing in my closet. I got sick for a few months and lost weight. I went through my smaller clothes and decided I was tired of looking at those old things and deserved something new. I love to thrift and bought just a few things and donated 4 large trash bags of clothing and I do not miss them. Now I keep an empty grocery bag in the bottom of my closet and drop items into it as I decide I no longer want or need them. Then immediately take the bag to donate once it is full. This method works for me.😊
When you were holding your baby boy while still sorting clothes was so precious! So "Mom" of you. You are so wonderful and I just love to hear you talk! Keep up the wonderful work Mom! ❤☺
