I'm always tempted to look for the best deals during the holidays, but I decided I'm putting my efforts into decluttering this year. I hope you guys will join me!
Also, I'll be posting SO many new items on my Poshmark Account @malamalife in the next few days. All the PR items that I received from brands will be heavily discounted. Please look out for it :)

@mikemuponda1781 2 года назад

It’s amazing how I have bought $10k of stuff this past month alone yet it has been stressful because each time I can’t afford the best version of that thing. It’s amazing that in the act of buying more stuff I’m actually finding myself even less content. The best feeling has got to be being content and not letting your level of satisfaction be determined by shopping lists and material. Knowing all that, I still find myself at the altar of material things.

@LaureninGermany 2 года назад

I´ve noticed that I sometimes regret having decluttered something - but I forget that that item was part of a huge amount of junk that was clogging up my home and weighing me down. It is worth the "mistakes". And, like you, realising that I basically always wear the same shades of nailpolish or lipstick really helped me to reduce the amount of those I have. When I started studying as a mature student a year ago, I decided to get a capsule wardrobe ready and I love it. I´ll definitely check out your video on that. Having a large choice of outfits is overrated and stressful.

@MalamaLife 2 года назад

I think discovering and curating a capsule wardrobe has really saved me so much time and money. And you're right! sometimes it is worth the mistakes ❤️

@leenlovesdancing3561 2 года назад

Sometimes you can undo the mistake by buying the item again or by buying a similar item. 😌

@miyounova 2 года назад

I think everything, including the capsule wardrobe idea, is relative. I have a small amount of clothes with me, because I had to move countries in a rush and couldn't prep my thing to be sent where I am. I chose things that are versatile and some of them, I truly love. But 1 year and a half later (actually a lot earlier than that really), I miss having more clothes. I'm bored with what I have, because I have to wear the same thing over and over again. Fashion is something I love, so I want to be able to have more options, depending on my mood. So for me, a capsule wardrobe absolutely never works. But that's simply because of what I love, which is changing up styles, because I like a lot of things and I feel good in lots of things. Someone who has 1 particular style would probably not want to have as much as I have. Not to say I should have a ton of stuff, but what I do want to have is bigger than a capsule wardrobe would usually allow. Others might have a hobby for which they need to have more things than usual. So I think a lot of us will have 1 or 2 areas in which we simply have more than what others think would be necessary or acceptable.

What a great idea to declutter instead of buying during sales time Sophie! I also feel a higher need to declutter than to buy and I’m so glad about that! No one can wash my brain anymore with their psychological based marketing strategies, I’m free of that. I need to organise a declutter session as well now that I’m home in uk and donate stuff to charities (I bought most of my things from charities so I’ll just take them back really)! Here in my area they are always in search of donations! Hope many will follow your example dear Sophie! Much love, see you next time! ❤️

I am on a new no shopping attempt...and decluttering journey...not the first time I have tried the no shopping. .I am doing the best this time around...not perfect...but much much better...I wrote 11 items down not to buy when I struggle... that had really helped me

@ericeichstaedt2357 2 года назад

One thing I discovered is when I moved into my recent place I didn't have a bookshelf and so for time being I put my books in my walk-in closet just stacked on their sides; and that discovery was that it was a lot calmer in my space (a studio), not just because there was less clutter but also less things to take me away from the here and now, less chance to trigger sadness or emotions from the past that my books represented. So decluttering is not just about only the visual or what we use or don't use, but what items represent. I've always put a lot of value on my book collection as a big part of my identity, but learned it actually in some ways holds me back, literally, to the past. So either I may need to either let go if more books, which I have already, and/ or just keep those books in the closet. Also, is partly my ego wanting to show off my books and possibly impress people who might drop by. Also not really of value. There is tremendous sentimental value in my books, so it's quite the dilemma. Oh well, maybe I just need to accept a little more visual stimulation and memory jogging, after all our past is part of who we are.

I'm decluttering all year round. This make me realize that the bank notes that I used to think will appreciate in value is not as "valueable" as I thought, the first day covers that I've subscribed to is selling for under the cost I've purchased, and even the CD collection that I used to listen to is never being touched for the last 10 years or more. Letting go of things and declutter allows me to learn more about what I need and am in a way towards a more minimalist lifestyle.

I don't declutter during the holidays but I also don't bring much in during the holidays. I declutter at the change of seasons as I live in a 4 season climate with big temperature changes. This is a good prompt for me to take a hard look at our space. We live in a tiny home with little storage so it is important to be very mindful about what comes into our home. As for decluttering, we don't have a lot that is not in use. I do keep a small donation box by the door that things can be placed into when they no longer suit us.

As a non native speaker i have a small questions: What's the difference between "Give Away" and "Donation"? I know Donation is more formal but why would you need to sort items into these categories? How would you decide for any given item in which box to put it?

@ovhni 2 года назад

In this context, “to give away” may mean “to offer/give (to a friend)”, versus “to donate” which may mean “to take/give to a thrift store”. It’s essentially the same thing but can carry a slightly different intention.

Lovely video. Here are my tips: Decluttering food IS A MUST. You don't want to get sick, especially in 2021. One thing I do have is a stock box where i keep things i bought in large quantities. Instead of buying more clothes, take all your clothes, put them on the bed and make outfits out of the clothing. mix and match by trying them on and add belts and scarfs to the hanger. So in the morning, just pick up and go ! If you can't resist the urge to shop on Amazon, before you buy, keep the items in wish list, you will then go back to it and realize, you dont actually want that item.(down side to this is you waste time) You can also have a shopping folder on your browser full of your bookmarks. It always nice to stay physically and digitally tidy lol, ;-) Much love xx

so well put!! fantasy self and also just figuring out what our values are and not simply getting rid of things for the sake of it

@MalamaLife 2 года назад

Yes!! 😁❤

Like the idea of putting a time limit on decluttering. Keeps it manageable.

@MalamaLife 2 года назад

Yes! Otherwise I could go on for days 😆

I need to hear this. I am so worried about how the "excess" from the holidays will change my mindset. I just want to be stable emotionally so I dont crash before 2022 starts.

This video made me rethink everything i have. I get joy about having the maximum things and having the minimum so its hard to be minimalistic when im also materialistic (and other way around)

i literally have 4 bags of decluttered items ready to be picked up. decluttering is so freeing. the things that were just collecting dust in my apartment will now be put to good use

@MalamaLife 2 года назад

Thank you Sophie for giving me the idea of decluttering a box of maps I have from the 90's!! I usually declutter what' s in front of me and forget the hidden ones!!

@chidenisee 2 года назад

I leave behind buying things I don't need and don't even want. I plan on just getting rid of it instead of holding onto things I think I might use eventually or wear later.
