Loved the intro. I like "pre-rewarding" myself by applying a hair mask, or setting out everything I need to do my manicure, or cueing a movie for when I'm finished. Old-fashioned thing I do: I wear an apron! It's not a 1950s wife-y apron, more like a baker's apron, but the moment I put it on, I feel like I'm in business. For efficiency's sake, I always throw a load of laundry and/or something in the slow cooker so those things are getting done while I actively clean. That way I can feel I've accomplished "so much" in a relatively short amount of time. And I always start with a "pleasurable" task, such as repotting a plant or putting a little makeup on.

I don’t have to ask, he just does it. It’s such a loving act of service and I love that you have a boyfriend that is there for you like that.

laundry hack! if you hang ur clothes to dry after washing them but don't have the energy, you can gather a load and put it into your washing machine without turning it on or getting it wet. then when you do have the energy the next day, all you have to do is turn the machine on, add soap and youre well on your way! adhd friendly bc it breaks up the daunting task of🌩LAUNDRY🌩. the decision of what load to wash/do i have everything in there is taken out of the equation 😊

I want to be your roommate. I hate dusting & vacuuming, but LOVE order & organization to the point of even folding my underwear & storing my wardrobe in packing cubes on shelves in a pie safe instead of a dresser all the time. I do a sweep of the house every night before bed to be certain everything is in its place. I clean & organize my refrigerator weekly while preparing the grocery list. Counters are wiped down after every meal and small appliance behind cabinet doors. I’ve eliminated excess in almost everything, BUT there are cobwebs in my window corners, fingerprints on my light switches and my rugs need to be vacuumed. We all have weaknesses we need to embrace and work on. The first video I watched you was your bedroom makeover with what I thought was ugly wallpaper on the ceiling. When you finished I was amazed at how put together it was and loved every inch of it. You have real talent. I definitely enjoyed your intro to this video. You rock!!! BTW I’m 64 so you have a wide audience!!

@teetaloo 4 месяца назад

honestly i've had a pile of clothes building up in the corner for weeks now and seeing your pile of clothes on the chair and stuffed into the fireplace was honestly really validating so thank you for being so real :) also LOVED the intro haha ALSO HOT TIP FOR CLEANING ONE'S ROOM: start with the bed! if you make the bed first then a) you get the instant gratification of having a large percent of your room suddenly looking neat, b) all the dust gets out of the bed and onto the floor where you can then sweep or vacuum(do last!), and c) now you have a big flat empty surface on which to place other things while you clean, like for when you eventually sort out the clothing situation. hope this helps someone! it also is sometimes overwhelming to know where to start cleaning, so I find that by having one thing (the bed) that I ALWAYS start with, it eliminates that difficulty.

@debrakintzing8914 4 месяца назад

Okay I've LITERALLY compared myself to my (projected imagining of) you so many times when it comes to home cleanliness. I both have a high standard of cleanliness and very low energy and two very fluffy dogs so live in a constantly "very lived in" state. It was a relief to see pictures of your place also looking lived in, as it's always picture perfect in your videos. One of those moments where it's helpful for my own mental wellbeing to see the reality rather than the curated influencer output (as much as I love that too and appreciate the work you put into making your home look nice for your videos)

I’ll be 56 this month and I’m not sure how the algorithm matched you to my feed, but I’m so glad it did. One of the things that I love about your videos is that they remind me more of how alike we all are, in spite of age and life stages and careers, than focusing on our differences. You also remind me very much of one of my dearest friends from when I was in my 20s and 30s, and it’s almost like I get to hang out with her again. Headspace really helped me when I was going through a divorce after 22 years of marriage 7 years ago. I still use it, but I’ve also added The Tapping Solution app to my mental/emotional health tools. If you’ve never tried it, I recommend it highly. The first few times I tried tapping, it didn’t really do anything for me. But I was having some pretty strong bouts of anxiety and depression about 5/6 years ago and it’s the only thing that actually helped, and it worked even better the worse I felt! I’ve used it daily ever since. Much love to you, and thank you for all you do. ❤

Fellow anxiety sufferer here also. Since 1970. Ugh. I should definitely try Headspace. The first time I ever heard of tapping I was like "what?!" But I thought well, we essentially tap babies when we pat them so it's pretty fundamental. I'll take A look at the Tapping Solution also. Caroline reminds me of my niece and I love that connection. I still don't know what I am here for comedy, design, advice, cleaning... I just like her so I keep tuning in. I say tuning because I'm 58 and that's what it was called way back when. 🙃

@leab9032 4 месяца назад

Yay for the intro! I strongly dislike cleaning - my biggest cleaning hack is to set a five minute timer for each room. I set out the needed cleaning products, set a timer, and then work hard tidying and cleaning the room for five minutes - also blasting early 2000's pop. It gamifies the process, gets me going and lets me prioritise the elements that make the biggest difference first. If the five minutes are gone and I still miss something, I can decide to finish it (which I usually do) or not. Of course this will not give you a deep clean, but it is nice for those in between cleanings, and provides instant gratification. I found the hack somewhere online, but don't recall where.

Yes, talking to a friend! My friend and I both have Fridays off, so we call each other and do "Chat and Chores." What has also helped me is making a cleaning "Order of Operations" (somehow stresses me less than a "To Do List") that I hang up on the wall while I clean. I found that I tend to get overwhelmed/give up at points when I have to switch activities and I don't know what to do next, so having the list visible helps with those moments. It also lists things in the ideal order, so that I don't get caught in those annoying situations where I've already started the dishwasher and done the hand washing and THEN realize that I still have dirty pans and tupperware in the fridge, etc.

Thursday: • Change sheets/make bed • Put away/start laundry • Put away clean dishes • Clean out fridge • Run dishwasher • Compost any dead flowers and add vase to the handwashing • Wipe off stovetop and put down drying pad • Hand washing • Wipe off counter that is now clear • Neaten/put things away/sort paperwork • Clean off shoes (this is sort of an artifact from Covid when the only way to socialize was walks in the park and my boots were always tracking mud in) • Take out trash/recycling/compost Friday: • Dust surfaces • Clean windows and hallway mirror • Wipe down kitchen appliances • Clear off bathroom counter • Clean bathroom mirror • Wipe down bathroom counter and sink • Put everything back on the counter • Sweep apartment • Scrub toilet • Clean shower/bathtub (While taking a shower! I leave a sponge, Meyers cleaning spray that won’t irritate my skin, and a plastic soup container in the shower for this purpose) • Swiffer/mop the apartment • Finish laundry and dishes I want to emphasize that these lists are an ideal! I rarely complete every step and it often happens at different times of the week or doesn’t get done for weeks at a time. But I have found that keeping things in this basic order, even if I decide to skip dusting or whatever, continues to make sense and keeps me on track. I also live alone in a studio apartment, so I don’t have to deal with anyone else’s mess or schedule (but also I don’t have anyone to share chores with).

One cleaning hack that has been helping me recently: I use the reminders app on my phone and I put 4 things that need tending. once I’ve done those four I can press the check and they disappear. Then I write four more things down and do those. After I get some momentum going I just keep cleaning without having to write more down. It’s a good & manageable way to get the ball rolling without feeling overwhelmed! Its helped my house stay clean despite my terrible mental state! Happy cleaning to you all. Caroline. Amazing intro. ❤

I get your taking a necessary break. In my biz we call it a sabbatical, or "rest" because as a pastor/minister I'm expected to come up with life-changing sermons every week. But then once a month we have a newsletter...I've already poured out every single profound thought and idea and connected sermon illustration/story, and now I have to write a newsletter article! Hence, a sabbatical is required. And oh my goodness! What an intro! So creative and so well done! Brilliant! AND, what's more, you've inspired me to get to cleaning today, too.

@AmenMama-qe4sq 17 дней назад

Caroline, you are such a comfort. ❤ God bless you for making this amazing video about something so mundane and necessary that everyone on the planet can empathize with. I have always been a very tidy, clean and organized person. But I swear, I fall into these bouts of disorder, chaos, and grunge that is just embarrassing and hard to dig myself out of. For whatever reason, they happen a bit more frequently than I’d like. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your cleaning video! Such an inspiration! Now I know for certain that I’m not alone! Your apartment is always so beautiful in your videos… I would have never dreamed you had any cleaning issues. lol… Personally, my least favorite task is vacuuming and laundry.

Happy to see a new video after your well deserved break! I have been wanting to write you something for a while now. I have ADHD (diagnosed at 32) and possibly ASD and have a strong and good radar for when others might be neurodivergent too. And you show a lot of symptoms! I am writing this just after I heard you saying that you don't like looking people in the eyes and that you can't really listen to people when facetiming them. That's very typical for ADHD/ASD. Also many other things you said about yourself. You have wondered in an old video about whether you might have ADD and I was saying to the screen, "Yes, you might! That's very typical!" 😅 And as neurodivergeny is extremely hereditary it makes sense that some of your family members look like they might be neurodivergent too. You have mentioned trying anti-depressents and that they didn't always work for you. I can only recommend checking if you might be neurodivergent. ADHD-medication has helped me so much with my depression - it was a life saver! Although I also have to say that not all ADHD medication is the same and not everybody needs the same dosage. The second medication was much better for me and I also found out that I am very sensitive to it, so I need less than the recommended amount. So it makes sense to experiment if it's not right away. Anyway, thanks for your videos! Much love from another Angelika, but from Germany. :)

Also congrats on getting Headspace as a sponsor that is huge!

I was honestly hoping for 16 minutes of cleaning music videos. That intro was everything I never knew I needed. PS- I love how 'lived in' your space is. For several years I've fallen victim to the ultraminimalist style where none of my things can be out in the open and everything has to be precisely organized and tidy and that has absolutely not served me. It certainly hasn't brought the comfort and calm I thought it would. I'm working towards having my space be more a reflection of my personality and showing signs of life (like having my books out on display instead of banished to a closet and also I love how you've got your fragrances on your mantel so I'm stealing that one). I shall be following your example from now on.

We've missed you!! If you're interested in possible video ideas from a fellow 30smth girlie living alone, may I suggest: -how to come up with a legitimate weekly/daily cleaning list -how to transfer from the college dorm mismatched furniture life to something more curated, but in a realistic and affordable way -how to hang things! As a single person, I find it so daunting to measure and hold and mark and hammer and all the things that go into hanging something heavy by myself. But the command strips can't hold up much :/ -in the same vein, painting and wallpapering in an accessible way (as a renter), as well as changing door handles -what small changes can we do to make our space more cohesive? It's scary to get rid of things as a poor person 😬 -How to find an "aesthetic"- like we know everything doesn't need to matchy match but it's difficult to have the vision of what might look good in my space. The difference between peaceful eclectic and just a hodgepodge of ish we haven't gotten rid of -the "must haves" of living alone Girlie, I've got so many ideas! And I hope this comment doesn't come across as rude or pushy- I'm just a 32yo living alone intentionally for the first time, I work on my feet 40hrs a week, while making minimum wage, have fairly severe ADHD, and just want my space to look and feel like my home. I spend a lot of time watching cleaning videos, browsing home decor Pinterest, scrolling the interior design subreddits, but I hardly ever end up making the plunge into doing anything more permanent in my home. I know this comment likely is a mess as I'm writing it on an old-school tablet, getting ready for work, and keeping one eye on reruns of RHONY (this episode is bethenny reuniting with her father in s7) SO, please pardon any spelling or grammar mistakes. I will likely be commenting on my own post with more ideas, too 😶

I’ve just discovered this channel today. Did not know who Caroline was before. I was just looking for organization ideas and clicked on one of her vids. I’ve decided the universe put this channel in front of me to discover that there’s another version of myself out there. So, this video in particular is eerily full of coincidences. I’ve had the same exact book on my nightstand for years. Same espresso machine with the same Chobani extra creamy oat milk. I have the same antique dresser, too. It’s actually a bit creepy, maybe. One thing, though: I don’t use Headspace, I use Balance (they’re essentially the same thing). 😂 I also had a massive, horrible break up in 2017. Eeuuugghhh so much more stuff…she’s basically saying all the things I say. And same music loves ❤ No Galentines day, but my bestie and I celebrate Swissmus, which is a holiday we made up that’s like Christmas, but occurs any time of year and also multiple times at random. We both have a tendency to obtain gifts for one another but then forget to send them until years later. So we made this up for when we find a random thing we want to give to the other person, and send it right then so we don’t forget. That’s Swissmus. Highly recommend. I’m not sure if I should be amused or concerned by the similarities, but somehow, I’m actually just comforted…because I tend to think I’m the only me. So weird.

Okay, I’m not that good at Italian, so I hope I didn’t just ask you to be my girlfriend. Just friends. But yeah, ho vissuto a Lugano, Svizzera in 2006…it was a while back so I’m not great with Italian but I’m still practicing it ogni giorno perché ho lasciato il mio cuore a Ticino… at least it feels like a part of me is still there, waiting for me to come home.

Thank you for making this ❤ Where I live, most middle class people are able to - and do - employ people to clean their homes. That's how I grew up. When I moved out, I was suddenly in a different city with a house to take care of, and it was totally overwhelming. I wanted to save money and I could also not stand the idea of someone being in my home for hours at a time working while I wasn't helping them, so I decided to be unconventional and do the cleaning myself. While it was overwhelming at first (there are quirks about the home that make certain areas difficult to clean), I learned a lot and it was one of the best things I could have done to help me settle into the new place. It was once I learned where the dust gathered and the paint chipped and the floor got scuffed that the place began to feel like home.
