I Tried Swedish Death Cleaning My Entire House *it took 6 months* 

Pack Rats Unite !! 🤗

I'm 72. I've been death cleaning for 5 years! If I'm unsure about whether to toss something, I will put it in the center of my living room. When I get tired of walking around it, out it goes! And I've learned that no one wants your stuff. They have their own stuff! You did a good job!

Mia: “Stuart is obsessed with empty boxes” Also Mia: *hoards tampon boxes*

It’s an ongoing process. I divide my house into 12 parts. Then tackle one area per month. The following year, I start at room 1 again. You’d be surprised how much accumulates AND how much you’re willing to part with once you realize you really haven’t touched those items all year long… gets easier and easier every year.

As a child of hoarders, I am now going thru the death cleaning in real-time. Trying to decide what was important to them versus a piece of trash is mind-blowing and many coffee and doughnuts have been consumed.

Stuart getting heat for boardgames, meanwhile Mia clutching her toenails and tampon boxes 😂 On brand ✨

4:49 Mia coming for her husband's game hoarding like she doesn't have a whole storage unit just for home decor stuff had me laughing so hard 🤣

Told my Mom about this a few years ago when we started looking at retirement apartments…. She took it to heart. 80 yrs old at the time, with bad knees, and she declutter Ed a 900sqft house on her own in less than a year. Then started trying to declutter my 1200 sqft house….LOL. Finally got her to stop decluttering (throwing out hubby’s stuff) by asking her to teach my some traditional recipes from her region of Italy. But she kept her house decluttered for the last 6 years and the move to the apartment took a single weekend with just my Prius and hubby’s pick up truck. Three trips and done.

As a D&D player, I am appalled by Mia thinking two dice sets is too many. My partner and I are both dice goblins and SHINY CLICK CLACK MATH ROCKS MAKE US HAPPY and are a HUMAN RIGHT.😭

I am swedish and learnt about death cleaning when I started going to a knitting café filled with older ladies. They talked about it often. They wanted to make sure that they didn't leave too much so that their children would be tempted to get rid of it all, they kept the good stuff so that their children could keep it.

i love that you showed the realistic side of decluttering not everyone can do it in a day or a week or a month

I'm 60 yrs old & a crafting hoarder. My friends & family have been telling me I need to do this & I really want to, but...... realistically I know I'm going to end up in a corner curled into the fetal position crying my eyes out. Watching how you handled this gives me hope. If you can be this brave, then maybe I can to. Plus, nobody told me I could take my time. Everyone made it sounds like I should be able to do my whole house in 2 weeks & start a new life! Not with my back problems, sister. Thank you for sharing your journey! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

“I don’t aspire to [minimalism] I just want to be organized in my own terms” so well put I feel like this may end up as a decal in my house or a tattoo or something 💞 thank you for sharing this experience

I love that Mia says Stuart has the empty box obsession then proceeds the show us all the boxes she’s been hoarding ❤❤

Sometimes seeing RU-vidrs homes makes it seem like they have it all together, but Mia thank you for keeping it real with us! It made me feel better about having my own little junk drawers

"What if there is an apocalypse and I can't buy this anymore?" OMG, this is literally why I'm keeping so much stuff that most people would throw out in a heartbeat! 😀Those last three Covid years didn't help with that.

It's almost a year since my hoarding husband passed away and I'm still not 100% through the clutter. Totally agree that it's easier to get rid of things by donating them to places/people who can give them a new life - that resonated with me as just throwing things in the trash without first attempting to repurpose/recycle/rehome feels so wrong. Thank you for showing that stuff like this can't be all done in a day/week/month 👍🏽

My grandfather passed away last September, leaving behind WAY more stuff than we thought. It's been a nightmare to try to find the items that are really worth it. And it's been sad to see a lot of it just go to the landfill. That's why I think it's super important to take things like this into consideration.

I really appreciate you putting yourself out there. On social media, you usually see people's curated and clean spaces and it makes you feel like such a cluttered slob. Thanks for letting us know we aren't alone in the struggle to keep things tidy. This is just what lived in homes look like. Here's to learning how to let things go even though they would be perfect for that specific scenario that'll never happen. 🥂

I had to clean out my mother's hoard when she went into a long-term care facility and had to sell her home. I had to do it again when she left the care facility and moved in with me. I had to do it again when she passed away. I swore I would not put my daughter through that because it definitely was not fun. Every January I start going through my house decluttering and organizing, room by room. I know I have all year, so I can take my time. By the end of the year I have been through the whole house, and then I start again. Every year I am able to get rid of a little more, and it is always a reminder to not bring more stuff into the house.

Your statement about , "but what if i need this in the zombie apocalypse?" is literally me. It's those what if's that get ya.

I love how you don’t care about everything being “aesthetically pleasing “ or about being a minimalist (nothing wrong with either one) . But it’s refreshing seeing a house where there’s mess and clutter because that’s also normal , to a certain extent . Mia is just so relatable she’s like that friend we all need and want 😭💕

My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago. She was the biggest hoarder of our house and since then I’ve tasked myself with cleaning up everything as I found it takes my mind off of everything else and helps me cope. It’s so bad to the point where I can’t step a foot into her room, any closets in our house, half the garage is unusable, and our cabinets and drawers are a complete mess. It’s been a lot of work and sometimes seeing how much there is to do overwhelms me and it feels like I can’t even make a dent, but hearing what you said at the end of the video about even if it’s only for 5 minutes a day and seeing you get it done after 6 whole months really motivated me to keep at it. This video showed me that it doesn’t have to be done in a day, a week, or even a month but if I keep at it it’ll be done eventually and that’s what matters❤

I did not know about this concept, but whenever I tried to declutter I thought like this. When I was less stressed out I only thought if I really wanted to carry this into the next house when moving again (mostly the answer is no. And I do not want to carry 80 boxes of stuff ever again!^^) The only thing which wasn't mentioned here is the first step of all: stop shopping stuff you do not really need or adore. But maybe this is obvious for most people :)

I'm 31. I've been decluttering for 6 years... when I learned about death cleaning about 3 years ago it changed my life. My parents are hoarders and I didn't think I was until I found out most of my things I was keeping out of guilt and emotional attachments. My 3 bed 2 bath, 2 car garage was overflowing! It is constant process of going through things and items that you didn't even have the thought of ever getting rid of, you'll come across years later and wonder why you kept. TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING! I wish someone told me that in the beginning. I don't have kids, I'll never have kids. So I don't have to hold onto things to "pass down". Once I realized that it helped a ton! My 2 spare rooms I could barely open the door to are COMPLETELY EMPTY! My dining room is completely empty! I got rid of things I was holding onto that I felt I was expected to have to have. We will never host holidays, I don't need a huge dining table. We don't eat at a table! I got rid of all the China and China cabinet I felt I had to have because it was passed onto me. I AM NOT OTHER PEOPLES STORAGE UNIT. Their items are not my responsibility! And if my grandma knew how much stress it was causing me moving that thing house to house because i felt guilt to keep it. She would not have wanted that for me. I had every single birthday card i ever got... literally only with signatures in them. Why did i keep it?! Make everything digital. I actually know get annoyed sometimes that i dont have more to get rid of. It became addicting decluttering and having less heavy furniture, less to clean!!! After 5 years of living in our house we now park both our cars in the garage!!! Its amazing! Less clutter=less stress. Having less items will force you to get creative sometimes, and it's actually fun. We even got rid of our dresser! Keep it up Mia!!! Proud of you! ❤❤❤❤

I started doing the Swedish death cleaning after my husband passed away six months ago. It really made me take a long hard look at all the stuff we have accumulated over our 30 years in this house. I didn't want my kids to have to deal with all of this mess if something were to happen to me too, so it is time to deal with it now.

As someone who likes tabletop games I think Stewarts collection is actually pretty humble and I was honestly surprised he only has 2 sets of D&D dice lol, that's actually a pretty conservative amount of dice ! I have like 14 sets lol, I like the sparkly ones and the sound they make when you shake em all together clickity clack sidenote: I think you would actually really like D&D Mia, new video? 👀

There’s just something about Mia keeping the 2016 vibe alive in her channel. I love it so much

It’s honestly so refreshing to see someone who struggles with what I like to call “controlled hoarding”. I keep things and leave clutter everywhere, often out of sight and out of mind, but it’s there. My mom is the same way and I think I got it from her… I got a divorce last year and he packed up all my things for me, which I then put into a storage unit and slowly chipped away and going through it and getting rid of tons of stuff. It feels so good to be starting fresh. I’m hoping to keep my new apartment minimal in terms of hoarding and clutter and I will definitely use this method and tips for the future!

The tampon box thing is so real. The amount of times I had been tricked into thinking I had a product and I didn’t was insane.

As someone who has gone through cleaning after death for loved ones, decluttering is truly a very kind thing to do for (not only kind to yourself) but to those who your stuff will be left to.

I’ve never watched you before but I feel so proud of you! As someone who also has a huge sentimental attachement to my things and has a hard time letting go of things, I know how hard this is. You kept a great attitude though and what you said about donating items to give them a new life is so helpful!

Our local Humane Society has a thrift shop where 100% of the proceeds go to their spay/neuter clinic, so it makes it easier to get rid of stuff knowing the proceeds are going to a cause that I really care about! 😻

A brave concept for a young 24 year old, as a 60 year old I try to do a regular clear out but have difficulty getting my husband to participate! I even resort to saying to him “do you want the children to have to tackle this when we’re gone!”😂

My aunt passed away unexpectedly in January and when we went to clean out her house it was a shock to me to see how much one person “leaves behind.” I didn’t know this death cleaning was a concept but it got me thinking along these lines, when she passed away, and we plan to do it in our own house as well! I like that you’ve done it over 6 months, it doesn’t feel rushed and feels more meaningful in this way ❤

I have an entire tackle-box of dice sorted by color & you’re questioning if he needs two sets! 😂 But I get you, I actually pitched most of my Christmas ornaments so I could hang clear spheres with my dice sets in them on the tree instead this year.

I’ve watched a lot of organizing videos lately. Yours was one of the most relatable and entertaining. Thanks!

Just did a major closet purge by asking myself “Would I be happier keeping this or knowing that someone else is actually wearing/enjoying it?” Gave away 10 plastic tubs full of clothes to charity. Best decision ever. Thanks for the video and the encouragement to keep going through the rest of the house! ❤

As a Swede I’m living for you pronouncing our words and mentioning us this much in a vid, I feel so honored 🫶

Thank you! “Yes i Like to keep cards!” So do I. Many of the cards I have saved over the years are from people who have passed. I edited and got rid of just signed ones. But I keep the ones in which loved ones wrote long notes or added letters to - I cannot get those words/moments back from dead relatives anymore! ❤❤❤

I am swedish, and last year we actually had a real death clean and it was brutal... I myself am a hoarder and I also save practically everything. Though in my defense I have 32 years of living in a very small room... After watching this it has re ignited my need to sort things and see if I really really want to keep it. I know for a fact if I died basically everything would go xD But most of it does have value to me so my big task is going through it all and finding the ones that don't have a significant value. And thank you Mia for trying to say Dödsstädning xD That was fun :D

I love that every section Mia says “this is gonna be the hardest one!” Or “I’ve dreaded this one the most” 😂😂 but like at everything 😂❤️ also literally same. Pack rats unite 🥴😂

As a swede who regularly death cleans (just because it’s so freeing to get rid off stuff) I feel really ashamed that I didn’t known this was a Swedish concept😅

I'm just starting on my craft room. The rest of my house has all been cleaned out. My craft room and my hubby's toolroom is a whole different story. My problem is getting it organized. I wish I could hire someone to organize for me. That would make me so freaking happy. I keep things that make me happy. When I die, all my kids have to do is come in and grab things and throw them all away. This is my life and my stuff. While I'm alive, I'm going to keep what I want because it makes me happy. What happens to all of it after I'm dead, I couldn't care less. My kids can open up the house and let whoever wants to come in and take whatever they want. How fun would that be. Open house sale where everything is free. They don't have to deal with it, and I guarantee you the house would be cleaned out in no time.

I have recently downsized the size of my home and that made it necessary for me to have a deep de-clutter and it does stir up memories and feelings about your stuff. I got rid of so much stuff and in the end I was so happy I did. I also had to clean out my Mums unit with my sister when she passed and it was a huge job. I think doing a Death Clean is a wonderful thing to do as it doesn't make your stuff someone else's problem. It is challenging enough to deal with the loss and then having to deal with getting rid of a mountain of stuff as well. Great content and thanks for sharing and your honesty.

My favorite part of this is Mia saying “this one’s gonna be really hard for me” before she cleans any section in her house 😆🤣🫶🏾 proud of you girl!

Stuart needs a game room rather than a little shelf in the bedroom... then he'd have a dedicated place for his games and stuff (like you have a dedicated places in the film room, storage room etc).

Thank you. Decluttering is a beast isn't it. Hv always hung on to sentimental things but my net widened considerably when too many things became sentimental. I hv one sister when in school at the end of term, would toss all remnants, pics, yearbooks, gifts, w/o looking back. She was brutal, I was in awe of her ability to let go, not get attached, to embrace the future with a clean and open mental and physical slate. Fwiw she became successful in life. It became a problem for me after a v hurtful breakup and upon looking back, "things" were a security blanket of memories. I associated things with the person who gifted them and thought I was throwing them away - did not make the separation these were just objects. I hv no issue when people toss things I give them but couldn't apply the same logic to my sitch. Good luck out there!

I’m so glad you didn’t do this in like a week. I am a hoarder/emotionally attached to stuff and haven’t thoroughly decluttered since getting ill about 12 or 13 years ago and I always feel like such a failure when I see organisation videos online where the people have done it in a weekend or a day or something! This is so much more realistic and achievable! I started about a month ago and some days all I can do is 5 mins because I’m so sick of clearing and organising being at the forefront but I’m trying to keep it up most days and I’m not setting any deadlines other than I want it to be finished within this year. I’m hoping I’ll be done before the time I need to decorate for the holidays and then I can really enjoy doing that and how my house looks when I have done it.

Lmao I love that Mia spends 2 full minutes taking about how Stuart won’t part with his board games or books and then says “I save all my cards”😂

Mia, can totally relate. I am a diy-er, crafter and upcycle -er. I have a tendency to keep lots of things I can imagine using for crafts or upcycling items. I also love keeping fun old boxes... lol! In closing, remember "Creative people don't have mesess.....they have ideas lying around everywhere" so true!!! Love your show.... Jo

ugh, I needed to see this. I have a hard time letting go of things AND I'm that person that goes, 'this is a nice box'

I live in my grandparents house they passed last year and I feel totally exhausted and asphyxiated by their things. There were not hoarders at all but there’s so many things that they left behind and it’s so hard to cope with the memories. I didn’t know about this approach it sounds super interesting.

After being the eldest in my family and having to deal with everybody's belongings I have the death declutter on my mind all the time. I tell myself I will not leave my children to do the things I've had to do when my family has passed. I actually find it refreshing..

Stumbled across that video by accident and so excited to see it. When my grandmother passed, that was the moment in my life I realised that after your death your family will not know what to do with all that hoarded decoration, clothes and so on. So it made me not buy anything any longer if it doesn't fill me with complete joy. Well done to you as well!

Watching someone else declutter is so satisfying and inspiring! Thankyou. Now I feel like getting rid of stuff. Woo!

As someone with a large reading addiction and book collection, your speech about picturing where the donation is going is so important. Often I want to keep books because I read it and it was good but I probably won't read it again. Then what good is it sitting on my shelf when it could be donated and go to someone who actually can read it and enjoy it for the first time and get the experience I did?! I always like to picture people finding what I donate and getting excited

As an older person Mia I have been slowly going through my things for a while as I don't want to burden my 31 year old daughter when I die. She is quite the minimalist, which is my perfect aesthetic 😊 I have never heard term "death clean" before though, it makes perfect sense, thanks beautiful Mia ❤ I took two more bags to charity just yesterday and I always feel happy when I do 😊

I think you have done sooo well! I am 66 years young, and have moved 7 times in the last 10 years, and just kept taking everything with me! I now live in a small house, which I love, but have two rooms full of "stuff" which I find incredibly hard to let go! I have had 5 of my own arts and crafts shops, selling my painted pottery and other local makers arts and crafts. But that was a while ago now ( about 7/8 years ago) and I still have a lot of the the things I owned, left over from my shops, in storage. I also had a holiday cottage I let, and ran B & B from various homes, so still have things left from those days, such as pillows and crockery. Due to my sever anxiety, I only go out of my home to walk my dog, and live in an isolated place, so can not send items in the post, as I can not get to post them, even if I could sell them. However, I do put things up on my free local Facebook page, and have sold a few things this way, as folk have to come and collect it themselves. If I want stuff taken to the charity shop, I have to pay someone to come and take the things for me, and I live on a pension now. I do like having my precious things out and about around me, but it makes it hard to clean then, so I do not do a lot of that! I do try to keep the kitchen clear, but have very few cupboards in there, so I have too much stuff again, so need to blitz in there! I find it sooo hard! I am sure lots of other folk are like me? xxx

All Mia's videos are so good, but this was one takes the cake! Cleaning up without shame and blaming! Wonderful! And focusding on the benefits!

For me it’s really tough because I’ve grown up and continue to be poor and so finally having things makes me want to hold onto all of them. Decluttering and cleaning are also harder for me since I have a chronic pain condition and chronic fatigue syndrome. I have to be really careful about where I spend my energy and how much physical exertion I do. But I’ll get there one day! I’ll just have to do it a bit at a time, like you suggested ☺️💛

This was recommended just at the perfect time... I have to empty my house, more than 20 years lived in... and I have to do it alone. Your video was so inspiring. I only enjoy these when the person tackling their clutter clearly isn't a minimalist ... they (minimalists) don't get it. You have encouraged me to look at the task a little bit at a time, instead of seeing it as the Mt. Everest of tidying. Thank you from an old Italian auntie! ❤🇮🇹

Good for you! I was married to a hoarder. Dealing with all his crap was hard during his life, and it was such a blessing to part with almost all of it after he died. Then I went on to organize MY stuff and reduce it. It's nice to NOT have a heavy tail dragging along behind me when I move, as I will soon.

Watching this I think of gift giving. I’ve started trying to buy gifts that are practical and useable not just dust catchers. My friend talks about heavy gifts and light gifts. Heavy gifts are those that people feel they must keep and not give away. I like to buy gifts but not burden them with something. Also teaching myself not to buy things that I don’t need. This has inspired me to do it. Thankyou ❤

I am a home organizer and I really appreciate this content! I swear every client I work with is different. Good on you for tackling this! It can feel quite overwhelming for folks!

My grandmother passed last week. Leaving behind so, so much. So heartbreaking having to sift through stuff that was meaningful for her but the rest of us can’t possibly keep it all. We are keeping a few things that are sentimental but everything isn’t essential. This has been so hard for us and your video has been so helpful. We are officially setting new goals for the end of the year. A will, medical power of attorneys, financial, etc… we have two kiddos and the past few years have showed us what NOT to leave for our kids to sort out. You are so appreciated ! Also my comfort watch during these tough times!!

You inspired me! I've had bags of clothes slated for charity shops for a year...after watching, I did it! ❤

I come from a long line of collectors, ok, hoarders. Not the kind that have only a path through the precious "stuff", but the kind that just love collections. And yes, there is always a good box! I read about the Swedish Death Clean from, well my Swedish friend. And have experienced the cleaning of a loved ones processions after they have passed.( at least 3 times..ARGHHH!).. It's crazy! And you ultimately just trash/donate so much stuff, that it makes you rethink your own "stuff". I've been working on this system of purge for awhile now and it is very cathartic. It does make you feel lighter of mind and your house can be much cleaner .. Kudos to you for your 6 month process, though I know it becomes a new way of thinking, at least for me it has. I am in no way done (because I'm slow), but revisiting the process, like stumbling on your video , or queuing up the book in audible again, reinvigorates... Great video !

I have had three friends die in the past 8 months, and after cleaning out their places, I wouldn’t push my friends to get rid of stuff to prepare for death 😅 I loved going through everything they owned - the quirkier the better. The amount of ridiculous Knick knacks and old sweaters I kept of theirs is actually amazing. Edit: I am definitely referring to young friends around my or Mia’s age. Clearly not family members with actual hoarding issues - been there done that as well. Edit Edit: also, not saying this is a good thing or advice, it probably is worse for me because now I have become a pack rat for all my dead friends’ stuff

Mia's style is actually the cutest. The amount of joy I get just through seeing her decor in intros is insane. I love the 🍄 and 🦆!!! :)

You tackled so much in six months. To see all the donations that will be used by others is awesome. New subscriber as a result of watching this video🙂

I love how real she is throughout this entire experience. So many people (myself included) go through some form of this and it’s so raw and honest. And the lovely support from EVERYONE in the comments is very comforting. We all got it going on in some way. Mia, thank you for always creating a safe space 💜

i’m honestly proud of mia for going from a whole warehouse to a closet of decor over the years

I lost my mom suddenly last year and it really got me thinking about my own footprint as we went through her closet and donated to local charities. We still have a ways to go, and it's not easy, for all of the reasons. This video is so helpful. Also on a serious note, I love the relationship you and your mom have and get comfort watching videos of you together.

Great inspiration! We are not responsible to save things for other people. If we want to get rid of something and someone else wants it, you can give it away right now.

Great video. I'm doing something similiar at the minute and I've watched this a few times when I've been cleaning for inspo lol. Mine is a bit more gentler as I'm doing a very large move next year and more to pack = more money to spend on moving it all. This is really helping me clear stuff out haha

It’s honestly not talked about enough how much energy and effort it takes deep cleaning, you did good 🥰

I found out about SDC a few years ago and it has helped me a lot. And one thing I learned was that it is not a steady, regular-paced process. There are times decision making is swift and final. At other times, I struggled more, not so much because of the items per se but because I was feeling more clingy or insecure. SDC teaches you a lot about yourself as well.

I'm a hoarder married to a minimalist, and we butt heads a fair amount, but this method has been helping me see that mayyybbeee I don't need to keep quite so much. After renting a dumpster and filling it up but still having this huge pile of stuff I am both relieved and upset that it got that far. Baby steps I guess. -shrugs-

10:40 I went through early menopause this year, and I'm packing to move right now. I didn't realize how much period shit I had until I stopped having them. I wish I hadn't opened some of the boxes because then I could have donated them, but ill probably just give the half-full ones to my friends lol. Also cheers to 14 months without bleeding. My life is so much more chill without the constant fear that I'm bleeding through everytime I stand up

As an only child with a hoarder father and (hoarder tendencies myself) I relate to this DEEPLY. I refuse to let my dad leave me with all this literal baggage 😂 decluttering/donating will greatly improve his quality of life as well as mine. It’s a win win honestly. Edit: ALSO! Stair stacking!! 😂 at one point mine were SO BAD

I'm a minimalist by nature, and by no means are my house in order or close to the way i would like it. The more I throw out the happier I am. This video was very satisfying . Thank you!

When you said that about needing the extra lotion for the coming apocalypse I knew you think like ME. LOL. I must declutter and I have been trying for a year now to do so ! Thank you for the motivation !

As a crafty hoarder, I’m currently doing something like this too. It’s astounding how much fabric I have! This video inspired me to get back to it ✨

I love how you don't demonize having a lot of stuff. I personally used this method so many times cause it's the best way of letting things go 😂

Very helpful. I was just thinking I needed to do some deep cleaning, and organizing. I was about to tackle my closet today. So glad I watched your video 1st! Loved this video!

Started my day binging your videos and it was a great idea, y’all so positive and motivating 🥲💖

the hoarding boxes, period drawer, and cleaning clip mullet is sooo realllll I love mia I feel so seen

I haven’t watched the video yet, but the reasoning behind Swedish death cleaning is the one concept or trend that has given me the most motivation, way more than the Kon Mari method or any other RU-vid tips video. I’ve seen firsthand the stress that comes from trying to clean out a deceased’s cluttered house while also trying to grieve, and by the end of it you’re sick of it all and overwhelmed and decision-fatigued. I also love how death cleaning encourages you to share the memories with your family and friends as you pass the items along to them. It saves people from stressing like “was this an important family heirloom grandma valued that should stay in the family or did she get this from the thrift store last year??” I did my college speech final on arguing for Swedish death cleaning-I could rave about it for paragraphs more😆 but I’m other words, I approve. It makes more sense for older people to do, but it helps anyone keep perspective on what’s important in life. It’s goal isn’t minimalism, but intentionality

really needed this video ! have been trying to bring myself to declutter my very full room (I collect and collect and can't part with things easily) and am planning on starting today, and watching this has just given me that extra push to start !

I wish there was an after tour of what the house looked like in the end. And yes, I do enjoy such videos and would watch another one.

i am literally in the middle of a week off of work just to declutter my small apartment after gathering things tremendously over 4 years. This video honestly helped me feel like I'm not the only one who has trouble making these decisions right off the bat. This perfectly timed video helped me dig myself out of the burnout of decluttering and gave me a new wave of reason to make my home something less stressful to come to. Thank you 💛

this actually inspired me to clean and get rid of things I haven’t touched in years now. I feel so much better and it’s funny because I don’t miss and haven’t thought of the things I threw out. Thanks for the inspiration, Mia!!!❤️

I started a SDC in November and the very first thing was my kitchen junk drawers!! I’m so glad I did it all. I’m so much happier with empty drawers and awesome cabinets that are so easy to access stuff.

Refreshing to see a video of someone just not saying is messy, but whose house is really neat and is just saying that

As a maximalist myself, this is a really interesting way on how to declutter your home that I've never heard about before. I love the tips you gave and I'd definitely enjoy seeing more organizing videos in the future! Also I seriously think you're such a sweet, kindhearted, funny, fun, and beautiful individual so thanks for always being unapologeticlly yourself! 💖

I so get this... As an artistic person, it is unfortunate that when and if I throw something out I then need it... So yes. Pack rats unite! LOL, loved this Mia! My mom will not love sorting through everything if I go before her...

Pink Sugar is my favorite too!! I love that they have the body spray and the hair spray too.

Those little paintings .. Are beautiful! Plus they're memories!!! Frame them and put them up as art

I love that you are so *real*--especially hoarding the empty tampon boxes. Good for you for going through your house and donating so much.
