Minimalist Kitchen Challenge | Kitchen Purge 

I swear, videos like this are the only thing that really gets me motivated to deep clean and organize!

❗️For all the people asking about Michael’s weight:Christine has addressed this several times in comments. Michael has severe eczema and devolved a severe food intolerance. He’s been doing an elimination diet and is slowly healing. Please try to be kind and compassionate. i don’t imagine this has been very pleasant for him. And both he and Christine are well aware of his weight loss. No one needs to point it out. Please send him kind wishes. 💗

I've been purging for years and still am not finished. I always find more things I don't need. Great declutter!

I feel so spoiled getting all these videos! Now I want to clean out my house lol. Love watching you guys!

“There’s only two of us!!” and... “I can imagine how much worse this looks in the camera!” Bwhaha 😝 (best lines ever! 💙)

I just did my little bathroom - this is perfect timing, because my kitchen is next! Love to you both - I really enjoy hearing you two talk and how you’re such a great team! 💗

I was wondering but never for a second would of thought to comment about something I have no knowledge about or ask questions about someones situation. Im one of those who will look for a video to have questions answered & never ask questions in a comment when it comes to something personal. As long as you guys are genuinely happy & healing during these tough times I’m so grateful & happy for you both. I’m sending you both well wishes & stay safe guys! Love your channel!

You two turn every chore into fun!.. love your banter. Enjoy you always...

This was brutal, in a good way! Once life is back to normal, I’m getting rid of so much. In the meantime, wishing you safe and happy times Christine and Michael 💖💖💖

Christine and Michael you are the cutest couple ever! I’m a lot younger than you but I’ve been watching you since 2011!! Ignore the hurtful comments, some people are very judgemental because they’re so unhappy with themselves. Love these organisation videos! Please do more gardening ones too 😃

thank you for doing this... I've been putting it off for lack of motivation to tackle. Since it's just me and a kitchen about half your size cabinet wise, I don't have any more excuses ~chuckles~ thanks again for defining the how-to path.

Now I know what I'm doing this weekend! Thanks for this video. You two stay safe! xo

This so reminds me of the big purges back in Maui, and I feel like the next thing that will happen is a "carry on only" trip again!! Hope your feeling good Michael!

Awesome video you two! This was so much fun to watch and I can't wait to see or hear where you decide to move to next. New places are always such a blast! Keep up the great work!

Awesome Christine and Michael :) I found the kitchen has the most stuff of any room, I think part of it is out of necessity and part of it is cabinets with doors where things are out of sight. Also, I've been finding storage space is like a big purse, the bigger the purse the more stuff you carry. It's tricky ;) Thanks for sharing! It's inspiring and I'm half way through the 30-day challenge.

I just put this on and decluttered my own kitchen! I found so much stuff I didn’t need! Thanks for the motivation!

So excited for this video. It’s crazy how much you actually have once you pull it all out. I’ve never given myself a time limit but I’m gonna try that, it seems like it would make it easier to decide. Great job, it looks amazing😊

Love this Christine and Michael, You've inspired me to purge my Kitchen items, I already do this periodically but this just reminded me it's time to do it again!

I have been a fan and subscriber for so long and it’s so lovely to see the transformation. I went through the purge of my home a couple of years back and it’s so great. It feels so much lighter. I continue to cheer you both on! XO

Great job guys👍🏻😁 I did a partial kitchen purge, a “purgette” a few weeks ago too.

I'm a huge fan and love all your videos no matter what you do or cover! I only wish on this one you would've filmed (or included) the putting back of everything in the cabinets and then the final reveal of all the cabinets and drawers, top and bottom. You showed a few (& I loved that) but not all and it's just so satisfying to see the before and after that way. Plus I love how you organize so I wanted to see that. Not a complaint, only a request for more of you haha Love you girl, you're my all time favorite RU-vidr back to ol' school! ;) xoxo

Thanks for your inspiration, Christine! I am getting ready to purge everything in my house. I have about 10 years of stuff I need to finally get rid of - most in my garage and spare room. Seeing this kitchen purge has me motivated to only keep what we use daily and not save things for "later" use that never happens.

I love watching your videos since the beginning! I love how you both continue with the decluttering.I hope you’re both well and happy, sending much love from Bulgaria🥰

I love the decluttering videos! Thank you. I’m inspired to start my own decluttering challenge this month! Thank you!

I loved this!!! Christine, you have such a kind and gentle spirit, you're videos are great to watch. You and Michael make such a great couple!

I love how raw and imperfect is it's so relatable!

the way our minds work....we see empty spaces and the urge to have to fill it is worst than any itch you can't reach...OMG...we have all been here...and it is OVERWHELMING for anyone doing this...some of us have been able to get out of it and it was not easy by any means....thankful we are not alone in this....and it should be something we should all become aware of...looks great...glad my journey with this is in my long ago...I am also in AZ and I went from a 2bd 2 bth to a studio and I am soooo happy in covid era :) and this is awesome that you are both on this journey together.....it makes so much easier and painless 💙

You guys are my favorite youtube couple of all time. Your kitchen is perfectly stocked now.

Hahaha the date pits!!! Too funny...ok back to the video! I love you two!

This is such a good idea for decluttering!

Ha! Love this de clutter, great way to do it, fun to make it like a game :) thank you for sharing this 🌺

Enjoyed....Christine and Michael...you two are the best! Great job!

Wow! It’s wild how much we can accumulate over time! This is really inspiring me to declutter 😊

I LOVE your declutter videos. They are the best declutter videos on youtube. 👏

Great idea its amazing how much can creep into the cupboards, sending lots of love to you both great to see you both ❤️❤️❤️

Love that you & your husband did this video together. Great job! 👏👏

How rewarding! Good job! You and Michael seem to work really well together.

Oh my, I had to laugh when I looked at expiration dates!!! Especially on spices!!! Major clean out for me today! You said you were going to do this so I jumped on board! Thanks for the motivation!!!

I loved this so much! Was smiling the whole time!

Totally understand items on your counter - that is my struggle - but I use everything that I have out on a daily basis (specially AM before work) so oh well... but I agree I love having my cabinets just filled with what we use and not having to move things - great job guys! This was fun to watch 🤣🤣

Thanks for the video. I’m sensitive to certain foods too, I have to stay away from night shade vegetables! Its been helping, it seems like everyone has something they can’t eat! ✨

I would love to watch an updated home tour after your decluttering series! I think it would be amazing to see how you've moved thing around and re-purposed what you have into the new decor!

Hilarious. Michael is standing there staring at everything in absolute disbelief. Stay safe!

Michael was making me laugh!😂. He’s in shock😂. So fun!!

Christine, I'm devoted to my spring and fall clearing every year but you guys keep it fun! I've been getting rid of a lot more than I have in the past to donate and it's the best decision knowing it helps those thrift stores. Best health to you, Michael!!!

Wow! The transformation was awesome!

Wow ... so true how much we can store and not even notice ....! Thanks for the inspiration 🥰

It’s amazing how stuff hides in cabinets. Great job decluttering! What kind of produce containers do you have? Do they work well at keeping produce fresh longer?

“I got my spoon” 😂 love it~ so motivating ❤️

Hoping you both stay safe during al this. Love you since SoFoxy days 🥰🙏🏽

Oh now I’m inspired!! I really need to do this. I have a whole cabinet of cleaning products, using just a handful 🤦🏼‍♀️!

It deck it’s a good feeling to clean out cabinets because that’s what I did earlier today. I spent the whole day cleaning our kitchen cabinets and then the bathroom cabinets and even the “medicine” cabinet which has more beauty products than actual “medicine”. Everything looks so nice in your kitchen now!

You have SO much storage! You did great making good use of it!

Great job! So proud of you both

You guys are so adorable together love to see these kind of videos😘

I loved the 15 minute game!

This is so inspirational. Thank you, you guys are the best 😘😘

You guys are awesome and a true inspiration to be ruthless with your purging. If you don't need it or use it, why keep it? Always love your videos. God bless you both!

I have done this and love it! Keep it simple so much happier!

When you were pulling everything out, your cabinets reminded me of the Dr. Who Tardis because there was more stuff than could possibly have fit in them!?!

Love all of this! You promote such a positive message❤️☺️! I’m motivated to now do this w my own kitchen!!..& I’m sure it will help w the ants we tend to get too 😝

Christine, you are so cute saving all those date pits🤗😆

Love everything about this video!

I think this is going to be my weekend project... just to think about it I am getting anxiety but I know in the end it’s going to be so pleasing to open a drawer or a cabinet door and knowing it’s going to be visually pleasing and organized.. *sight* ✌🏼❤️🤗

OMG those date pits! I'm dying lol

really chuckled at you dashing past with red lentils and a hydroflask. Much the same in our household, there's very little we use regularly. Most meals involve veggies, lentils or beans, rice or noodles etc. A great knife, a vitamix and a sharpener are very dear to me now!

I love love love this video! So cool

Somehow I find this so interesting. We have others at our table often, and so I have many more dishes and serving pieces. I also like to bake, hence measuring equipment and many flours and other baking ingredients. We are all different. I share the love for my Vitamix, and juicer. We also have a toaster microwave and coffee machine all out on counters. No room for them elsewhere and we use them daily, and like them handy. My spice assortment is very large, as is my tea collection. Purging every once in a while is so refreshing. But I really enjoy cooking and use most all that I have.

This is great! Me and my mom are going to do this tomorrow.

This was so FUN! U2 are a great team! #ThankYou #ChristineK 💞 keep 2-5 cookbooks for gridDown #Beautiful

I need to try this out this weekend 🙈 there are only 2 of us too 😂 thank you for inspiring 🌈

this was so so good, i watched it 3 times xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It is funny cus I have been putting off doing my kitchen for same reason. I know I have a bunch of stuff I don't use but ugh! Great job you guys👏💗

Wow, how inspiring. I love the idea of 'shop your stash lol'. It's really encouraging me to get rid of things I've been keeping for years and never used. What a brilliant idea. Wish I could learn more about vitamins and healthy eating etc. So sorry to hear about the eczema. My little boy used to have it and despite using everything from E45, Cetraben, Steriods, Oilatum we finally found a cream from a company called 'BabyKingdom in UK England'. It honestly cleared by son's eczema up in weeks. An absolute miracle. I read about it online and thought "yeah right" but then figured it was worth a go. Would def recommend even for adults. May not work but we tried everything with my son and it was getting so bad I would often cry. Thank you for sharing. Fab video :) New sub x

We just moved a few months ago and that's a definite way to purge!!!!! Best wishes to you both!

Those date pits! I remember watching when you were saving those 🤣🌱🌱🌱

We love the cooking videos!!!

Yes, been there done that. What a nice feeling to get rid of all the clutter. Great job. God Bless.

Where is your juicer from? I noticed in other videos it is so quiet in comparison to mine. Mine is smaller but SO much louder lol

Love this!

I did this with my Kitchen few months ago and I feel like I can breath better now when I open cabinets.

Lol Y'all are way more minimalist than I am, but I have to say you made me feel way less silly about hanging on to 1-2 date pits to try and grow a date palm ;)

OMG!!!!! I might drink this tea too!!!!! I have never used my mixmaster....I thought I was going to bake.......( 2 years ago ) We have 5 espresso machines and a keurig.....where do I start

You all did so great.... I get frozen while decluttering... too much sentimental stuff in my bookshelves right now

Nice video! Got very inspired and did some fast cleaning. Also thought about what if we would do it with my husband. He would nonstop ask me if I really want to get rid of that or that. He isn't into decluttering that much I guess. :D

Minimalistically speaking, don't you just need 1 hydro flask each? What is your opinion? I too have about 5 of them, and there are only two of us in the house. Wow, I need to do this to our kitchen for sure. You have given me the incentive to do just that. Thank you for the video, it was a real eye-opener.

The kitchen is tricky. I ve been cleaning it out slowly for a while. Just today we decided to make a pantry, it's a mess.Yes decision fatigue is so real.

Loved this I’m doing this today xxxx

I have watch RU-vid in along time. I’m missed you guys 🤗

You guys really crack me up and trust me I know the struggle 😉

💘 ur videos Christine . I need to do this to my Kitchen now . I don't have alot of things in my Kitchen . I can't wait an see if u have water bottle and straws .. Lol . 💘 from Kentucky

I had found that some essential oils do more harm then good. I kept getting bad headaches and eye irritations. Soon as I stopped the burning of the oils I cleared up overnight. I will never use them again.

Forgot to add, tried your ice-cream recipe and am hooked!!!

My husband and I need to go through our kitchen again. lol I know there’s a lot that we don’t use. And a lot that we would choose not to use if we had better replacements. We both decided to go through our whole house. And we will place items in a box in the garage. And after 6 months we don’t remember or use it then we’ll get rid of the item.

So inspiring!!! 👏🏻🤩

Oh Christine forgot to tell you your skin and makeup looks really nice!

Ooooh I love this challenge 😁😁

I just recently discovered your channel and LOVE it! 🥰 quick question... what kind of water bottles do you own? I loved those white and blue ones! ❤️

where did you get your produce containers? so glad i found your videos !! xoxo

I have cabinets all the way to the ceiling. I thought about renting some. I only use the first shelf as I am 5’1” I use 1 second shelf and the rest of the upper cabinets are empty. Under cabinets food is placed in baskets so I can pull them out as needed. I wish I just had drawers only!!
