15 Things to Declutter from Your Bathroom - Week Two Declutter Bootcamp

[@leslieargil2652]

Aaw my heart broke with you saying you need to “fix the face” 🥺 Cas, your face is full of warmth, care, honesty, and humor, and makes me glad every time I see you, even through the screen 💕 You definitely twinkle, and bring a little light to my day! Make up or skincare can’t give you those things, no matter how much is used (and I am a makeup-skincare-hair product loving girl, lol!). If you want to, try just finding your favorite facial feature and focus on showing it off, but I promise we all see a beautiful you 💜🤗

[@kimberlywalker1015]

Yes, indeed.🙂

[@janetyamashige9573]

Agree and what a lovely comment! ❤️

[@judyscholfield820]

Yes! Leslie speaks the truth. And what a good tip: focus on your favourite feature! For me, it is my eyes. They are hazel just like my Father's. It really helps me to focus on priority makeup.

This is what I came here to say! Cas, I think you are gorgeous! Your face is so expressive & inviting.

[@kristenduarte4661]

I love this. You are so good. It’s not that the products failed to “fix” you; it’s that you aren’t broken. You are enough. This extra stuff doesn’t add to you, and it being gone doesn’t subtract from you. Beautiful.

[@katieburgess6839]

This was so hard to watch, to hear you saying mean things to yourself, and to recognize that I do exactly the same thing - and so many other women. Something that really been helping me with exactly the same feelings has actually been coming out of lockdown and seeing my friends without masks for the first time in so long and being so excited to see their faces, because I love my friends, and their faces are what I see, and I know that's what they are thinking when they see me, too. Faces aren't special and beautiful because they achieve some weirdly immobile botoxed and strangely contoured, bronzed and hightlighted standard. Faces are beautiful because they belong to people we love! Thanks for being so real!

​​​​​@@Clutterbug MODERN SKINCARE LIE: hey cas, you said you have skin issues,so did I since 13 & at the age of 25 I've tried many skin/hair care products for acne/dandruff etc only to realize that most of the modern skin/hair care is a lie, even the soaps and face washes,shampoos. - ACNE CAUSES: the reason we get acne is because foaming, anti-bacterial products with harsh preservatives mess with our natural microbiome and deplete our natural oils I.e sebum which is the best moisturizer, only reason it clogs pores is because we kill our good bacteria which actually help us fight bad bacteria and repair other issues. But due to years of marketing and brainwashing we've gotten used to the "squeaky clean" feeling which is purely psychological. - GUYS SECRET:many guys who don't do skin care (one's that don't use facewash and soaps & just use water) have good acne free skin, even if there's ocassional acne/unless it's hormonal/due to food. - WATER CLEANSING: even that can be helped with just using water to cleanse/oil cleanse without excess but with little gentle massage without too much scrubbing to remove sunscreen/makeup (as that's water proof). - FULLERS EARTH: Or use very little fullers earth powder (clay)/any non-anti-bacterial natural cleanser that doesn't have anything else that's problematic added as facewash without overly rubbing/stripping natural oils till you get used to water cleansing. - MICROBIOME FRIENDLY MOISTURIZER: & Using sunflower oil which is non-comdedognic-doesnt't clog pores/aloe vera gel as moisturizer if sunflower oil doesn't work or any microbiome friendly moisturizer that's free of comedogenic ingredients & harsh preservatives. that too only if your skin still breaks out because your sebum has depleted other wise just sebum acts as moisturizer. And sunscreen is still needed though. And it takes some weeks for the skin to adjust to this. - ACNE MECHANICA: And given that you keep everything that touches your hands and face clean eg.hand,face towels,phone,neck pillows,pillow cases etc. Because that causes acne mechanica : caused by irritation/catching dirt from objects. - HAIR CARE: Same for hair I switched from shampoos & conditioners to washing with fullers earth and few drops of light oil to the ends post wash to battle dryness and my hairfall went away 90%. rhassoul clay is a better option. -WATER CLEANSING HAIR: just water cleansing if you don't use hair oils in high amounts, don't go in pollution and use chemical based hair products and are willing to wait for 3-6 months so over production of sebum calms down then that works too. May be I'll try aloe vera gel for edges of hair too. - Even many dermats don't know about this except ones that are updated. - TEMPORARY PRODUCTS: And most external anti-ageing products are temporary with many side effects, and some products might Even age people faster. - SOCIAL SHAMING: I was shamed into using a moisturizer by a teen my age & socially conditioned to use facewashes/creams the moment I stepped into modern society but before everything was fine because I was a sheltered kid. - HONEST STORY: Only brand that made me realize was the brand named honest.story on ig and if you want to go even deeper you can read the book "clean'" by James hamblin (based on which honest story was formed). And focusing on prevention of root causes is a better step to Better health too. - CELEBRITY HARDSHIPS: and no hate to celebs but they're just normal people that are just expected to stay perfect hence they need to risk their mental well being & even health & waste their hard earned money by undergoing surgical procedures and health than fixing the root causes. - CELEBRITY HARDSHIPS 2: And most of them have to keep up their appearances by using makeup,dermatological procedures etc. and side effects of all that are so many that you could write a book on it. - PRICE OF BEING A CELEB: i wouldn't want to be a celeb even if i could even with all the pros because they need to run to quick fixes than actually have the time to figure out root causes..

When I turned 40, it was such a relief. As someone who spent much of her 30's getting injected with botox, fillers, having my hair permanently straightened, highlighted, wearing god-awful waist cinchers trying to remain visible, I was finally liberated from the prison of trying to look 20. The stuff I was putting in my body, was toxic, but even worse, was what I was doing to my self esteem. I'm 47 and looking forward to 50. I have grown out my greys and I actually wish I had more. I have zero shame when it comes to aging and because of that, I am 10 times healthier than I was in my 30's. Shame causes inflammation and inflammation is the start of so many diseases. No thank you! Cas, I hope you know how much we love you, even with crazy foam donuts in your hair.

[@TCTaylor]

I’m a licensed esthetician and wish to share an interesting fact about the beauty products. They all have an expiration date! Once the ingredients separate themselves, it’s no longer effective. Hence, it’s a waste of space and time if one tries to continue using it or saving it for later. Also, it may cause a serious reaction to some people, as the chemicals change overtime too. So, the more reason to use them all up soon after purchase and to throw away the old ones as well.

[@lindawinkler8867]

Thanks for the info!

[@Diniecita]

YES! Even natural stuff has oils that will go rancid eventually. I try to keep one thing that works for me and use it until its gone.

[@LadyPamela]

I have some fragrance creams and perfumes that are more than 10 years old. They were expensive gifts. But I am finding a lot places that I go to, you cannot where perfumed products anymore. Should I keep or donate or trash. Thanks

[@kizryuver]

I use any expired cosmetic oils as lubricants for door/wardrobe door/screw/hinge/any machinery like printer/any mechanisms by using a needle and a syringe to lead oil to nooks and cranies lol which keeps em good as new. - SHAMPOO REPURPOSE: And use shampoos as detergent for my combs/random stuff that doesn't touch the skin etc. - BOTTLE REPURPOSING: keep the bottles and use them as diy projects so it's not wasted. I keep googling things as to how to use those things, eg. Toothpastes can be used to remove scratches from plastic & a lot more. - CONDITIONER/CREAM REPURPOSING : tell me what I can do with conditioners without it having to be used by humans, Idk what I could use the conditioners/creams as though, may be used creams as foot cream if they're not wayy past the expiry date (or may be not since you say they're useless) or may be creams and conditioners both can be used as lubricants for machines too (i won't use it for any thing expensive like a printer though,but just something like a door hinge). -NAIL PAINT REPURPOSING : I can use nail paints/mascara for diy art or naming my clothes/items in hurry ,empty the mascara bottle and fill castor oil in it to use it as lash and brow oil. And fill clear nail paint bottle with a good oil to use as nail/cuticle oil, The ideas are too many. - MINDFUL SHOPPING: And I think hard about what product to buy and if i really need it,and if I can fix it naturally by figuring out the root cause, every bad purchase is a lesson.

[@denisea3465]

I struggle with basically every area but I wanted to share this. I have been on my own decluttering journey for about nine months. Some things are of course harder to get rid of than others. This morning I sold a baby winter overall that all four of my children wore in their first winters. Those tiny babies in that sweet, fluffy little snowsuit, head to toe softness. It was so tiny, so fluffy and soft, and that sweet baby smell... I sold it for the equivalent of around five dollars. I have had it sitting around for years, going from storage container to storage container because I could never bring myself to let it go. The two little satiny elephants embroidered on the chest, the soft fabric, and that forever baby smell... I just struggled. As I packed it into the bag for shipping, I literally hugged it, snuggled it, smelled it, and cried while I folded it gently and put it in the bag, taped it shut, and put the label on for shipping. I am crying again now as I write this. I know this isn't about bathroom things, but I so relate the struggle, the guilt, all of the emotions that come when trying to declutter your home. One day at a time, one thing at a time, five minutes at a time, ever forward, right? Thank you so much, Cas, for your videos and keeping me motivated as to why I am putting myself through all this. It is worth it!

Electric tools have replaced those, yet they too are numerous and wear out, and somehow are hard to toss out.

I was thinking the same thing! I hope those makeup bags and plastic bins didn’t end up in the actual trash. Those could definitely be reused by someone else!

One of the things I have learned in my decluttering journey is, when it’s hard to let something go, is to keep the lesson it teaches you. Like, learning that you never use something like that so don’t buy anything like it again. That it doesn’t work for you and you paid $ to find that out, that just because it’s free (samples or hotel shampoo) doesn’t mean you should take it because all it does is pile up. The more it “hurts” to get rid of it, the more I say to myself that I have to learn not to do it again!

so pre-pandemic (and depending on where you work) I would take any lotions I didn't like or perfumes with a note that said FREE to use. I would also take samples and put a note on them with FREE to good home. it was amazing how a certain perfume I hated - someone else loved or there was someone going on a trip who could use the samples. As long as nothing was old I just put it out. Now I did work in a large office with over 250 people so products soon found good homes. it did help me get rid of a lot of good products that were usually brand new and I didn't feel guilty then about getting rid of them.

I have a hard time with letting go of home decor and craft projects too!

[@tresgib]

I agree. I am the same. I have so much decor. And craft supplies. So afraid is getting rid of it. 😖

[@khadijagardee575]

This was a real struggle for you. You are so brave to share the experince. You are perfect just the way you are.

[@tinaprice4948]

I just gave away 6 bags of soap crafting stuff , I thought some day I would go back to making soap and its been over 2 years :/ felt so good to give to someone that was super excited to sty to make soap :D

[@ckee8437]

With ya! And I used to be terrible about returning stuff. I finally stopped buying certain stuff at hard to return stores so now when I get home and it doesn't work I actually take it back.

[@charlottemajewski5992]

Small tip, if i have jewelry that is broken or i have decided i dont like it or need it anymore, if it still is pretty and sparkly i recycle as a gift wrap or Christmas tree decoration. I also would sometimes use things of this nature to embellish fancy barbie dresses.

[@elizabethsokol2545]

I saved mine, along with a few other things, for the craft project I never get around to making. I finally donated my collection to a gift shop that sells crafts made by autistic kids.

[@Janiece1077]

I donated all my unused makeup to my beauty school I went to. The used makeup can be donated, spray with alcohol. The lotion & perfumes can be donated to a women’s shelter. The makeup tools can also be donated. Vitamins & supplements do last beyond the “expiration date” they just loose potency. I’ve worked in the medical field for over 20 years. I’ve used “expired” vitamins and medications and they are fine if they are sealed properly. My point is donate, before trashing everything. Have a blessed day Cass. Long time subscriber.

[@cathywatkins3046]

Your vulnerability in this video has truly inspired me.

[@Kj-yu9cb]

Another great video. First to say that "whatever" someone's personal hangups are, the emotions are still the same. Second to say that the more situations like this we go ahead & handle, the easier & more natural it becomes. Finally, we women are all so darn hard on ourselves ! Listen, at 71 now (😳 whaaat ?? 🤣) I've learned this one thing for sure. Every few years as look back at old photos I'm "shocked" how darn good I looked but remember that at that time I thought I was barely passable. So, Enjoy where you are & be less obsessed with the manusha. 🤗 The more comfortable we are how God's made us , the more that people will enjoy us & we'll love ourselves. ❤

[@MBXGill]

Thank you Cass for your vulnerability and transparency; you’re helping make my life better

[@lucycaldwell7113]

I learned something recently and now I remind myself of it every time I hesitate to declutter: It's the PAIN we're afraid of. 💖

[@carolfuller4940]

The information you share is valuable but the real emotions we share are even more inspirating and motivational. Thank you,Cas! 😁

[@GardeniasandGrace]

This is awesome. Last week I got rid of 4 bags of garbage and filled 3 large gift bags for donation. Today is trash pick up day, so I'm again challenging myself to fill my trash bin. I have so much unused stuff. I can think of 3 areas right now that have used, undonatable items that can just go in the trash. Thank you Cas for the weekly liberation! ❤❤

[@kimberlywalker1015]

You go Girl....I'm back out to the garage, again....to work thru the craft supplies.

[@GardeniasandGrace]

@@kimberlywalker1015 you can do this! Craft supplies are hard. I have to downsize my craftroom by about half.

[@adventuresinorganizing5773]

You are indeed GOOD ENOUGH

[@RustyBobbins]

I swear I need a day for decluttering my KZbin subscriptions (def keeping clutter bug!) and email subscriptions. Every time I get on KZbin on our tv my husband and son are just like, why do you have soooooooo many channels you follow! You can’t even find the ones you like because you have to scroll so long to get to it!😬

[@sewcraftymarigold5556]

About 2 weeks ago I unsubscribed KZbin channels I was not looking at, no longer had interest in, the channel is taking very long/or not posting any new videos or gave me a negative effect/anxiety.

[@rosepetal1332]

When I start approaching 100 channels, I go through them real quick and unsub about half of them. There are only 2 channels I have never unsubbed and that is Cas' and Kathryn's (Do It On A Dime). I went through this phase of watching people metal-detecting... now I can't for the life of me figure out how I was even remotely interested in that. lol

[@RustyBobbins]

@@rosepetal1332 I’m literally subscribed to “the boring channel”. My hubby is like, why are you watching a guy mow lawns 😂, It was calming ok! Don’t judge me!

[@RustyBobbins]

@@rosepetal1332 and I just counted, I’m at 260 subscriptions… definitely need to pare down!

[@RustyBobbins]

@@rosepetal1332 I did it! Down to 64 ☺️ Didn’t take as long as I thought it would, go me! Now my husband and son can stop teasing me lol.

[@mariaziarnik6909]

Omg you hit the nail on the head with this video. But when you sit with the realization and waste it helps you be a better shopper. I did this with so much of my makeup and skincare and now i only buy what makes sense for me not my future self I kept buying for each time.

[@Clutterbug]

Good for you!

[@alexisb.8965]

Guilt and shame is real with this stuff. Good call Cas! I give my used towels to a cat rescue near me and they love it :) it helps with the spring explosion of kitties!

[@animaladdict2173]

From someone who fosters kittens, ty! we can never have enough towels/blankets.

[@kathleenwood3174]

I need to have my 2 grown daughters watch this! They have makeup, tools, hair products...you name it! Thank you!

[@lisaalexander2011]

I love your honesty. This mind-set could go for our whole house/life, I'm terrible for "Oh, that's so cute/pretty(fill in the blank) I LOVE it!!"...I buy it because, for those few moments/days/week, of the initial excitement...the depression/overwhelming stress, that it chased away, feels better...fast forward to drowning/suffocating/feeling buried in the WAY too much stuff that makes me feel worse than before I bought that "fix". It's HARD, and I know there are many out there like me, struggling with this (having a physical challenge does NOT help), but I truly do find this type of video inspiring, especially the part about "guilt". Thank you, Cass, for sharing and encouraging us...you really ARE being a great help to many!

[@littlequickfire3296]

Yup, I feel this. Sometimes I buy things as a way just to feel better for a little bit. 😭 Then I feel bad my weakness got the better of me! I've returned quite a few things in the process of trying to break the habit.

[@cindynielson4231]

As soon as I recover from my surgery I plan to do this first to make me feel better. TFS

[@joannajohnson696]

I loved how your puppy "love bombed" your video. Your puppy even had a container for his dog toys LOL! Nice unexpected touch! I feel your pain Cass. I downsized my make up & skin care to one drawer. OUT of the bathroom to the bedroom nightstand. I struggle with my bedroom closet.

[@laterraspurlock5608]

Me too. That closet. Uhh

[@notavailable5911]

The Minimal Mom has a few closet follow along with type videos. I found them to be very useful, and was able to actually weed out the useless clothes that I had. I don't know why we tend to need permission, to get rid of basically crap.

[@texasstardust6010]

Miss Cass.... I actually save my used makeup brushes, ... they work fabulously for my furniture painting projects, and for dusting fragile items, if it's a clean fluffy brush ( dusting ). I wash them really well, and I enjoy being able to repurpose those. But, I agree, with a lot of hair products that we purchase , ... I seldom buy things for hair and if I do ,and I don't like it, goes to my daughters, lol.

[@thepioneerhomestead]

Your description of your skin is exactly me!!!! But you know what, you’re beautiful inside and out Cass and God doesn’t make mistakes, so love yourself the way God made you and take comfort in how much you’ve helped others by being vulnerable!💗

[@mariafoley6227]

Wow, this was an amazing video! It made me feel like a “normal” person knowing that there is other people out there holding on to things because they were expensive and it hurts to throw away because we never use it! I’m just “wowed” thank you I needed to hear this!!

[@Melly.K11]

When you started talking about the vitamins and supplements and pulled out the fish oil... I hear you on that one. Mine went in the trash as well eventually, since someone convinced me to buy the "chocolate" flavour (and chocolate, it was not). On another side note, vitamins and supplements probably shouldn't go in the bathroom anyways, the humidity can degrade them over time.

[@aleksandralempart8305]

My pharmacy is in the kitchen,my bathroom is tiny

[@tep1962]

Chocolate flavored fish oil?! 🤮 I wish I could take it, but I got a bad headache.

[@sabatham]

I just trashed my fish oil, too. Used it nightly until pregnancy made it gross, and it went bad in 3 months. Gone. Also, I store vitamins in my kitchen, too. No space in my tiny bathroom

Whatever you are doing now to "fix your face" is working because you sure look great. Definitely better than any Kardashian. You reflect warmth, light and generosity of spirit. I could feel your struggle and pain and will definitely learn from this as I struggle as I declutter. Love the dog!

[@allisonc9645]

"I feel like this will change my shopping in the future." YES! I did this a few months ago but instead of throwing things out I made myself use them up. (I did not have as much stuff as you did.). WOW! Having to use the things that were not my favorites REALLY makes me think when I am mindlessly walking around the Target beauty area. I don't want to bring more stuff in!

[@rebeccaroest-paulussen7643]

It totally broke my heart when you talked about the make up “to fix your face”. You are beautiful!! You deserve to love yourself more and not feel bad about the wrong shades of make up. Hugs from Holland!

[@FlamingoFieldsFarm]

I sooo need you in my life!! You speak a language that motivates me. The bully concept... YES! That alone makes this easier. Thank you for helping us out here. ❤

Cass, there is nothing to fix. You are awesome. I'm very proud of you for overcoming your stress. It was so brave of you to share your struggle.

[@Clutterbug]

Aw, thanks!

[@kcthehermit]

This was me yesterday. I was STILL rooting around in moving boxes every day for my hair and makeup stuff after moving in June. I finally got it all sorted, decluttered, and put away. 🤦‍♀️

[@thisisbethm]

I feel like this will be easier for me because I don’t wear makeup and have a small bathroom, but I still can think of some things that need to go!!

[@judygoshy7843]

I sometimes mix foundations that create the perfect color. I also place an extra hair dryer, curling wand and flat iron in my extra bathrooms. No kids living at home but they use these items when they visit. Yes, the clutter is real for me too.

[@dellnichols4625]

I’ve been decluttering lots of stuff by “pulling everything out,” but have been reluctant to apply it to the bathroom vanity because it’s large and I can keep everything. But SHOULD I??? NOPE!! Thanks for the shove in the right direction.

Right now I am just watching this weekly declutter because I actually have to focus on one room of my house right now. However I have been decluttering several things on the list as I go. It gets easier the more you do it. Getting the hubby and kids on board also helps... As soon as my extra room is done and downstairs kids play area, I will definitely go through the declutter list weekly challenge along with you. So grateful for your help and encouragement and suggestions.

[@angelaguerin5175]

Thank you for this video series. It’s been so helpful. I watch your video first so I know the plan. Then I watch it a second time and follow along with you. I don’t feel as emotional during the second viewing and it’s easier to declutter.

[@luluc3330]

Hey Cas! There’s nothing wrong with your face. You are BEAUTIFUL inside and out! Also, I wanted to let you know that you don’t have to throw away you hair products and makeup. You can always donate them to any of your local funeral homes since they always need these products for those that have passed. I know that sounds weird, but I have donated my beauty products there and they are very grateful for them! 😊

[@reinehahaha000]

I dont know the regulations in Canada and US, but mortuaries and funeral homes in my country accept expired and used makeup donation. That definitely lessen my guilt with throwing away makeup because the products will be used anyway, so it doesnt feel as much of a waste! Maybe you can ask your local funeral home if something like that can be arranged :)

[@Cationna]

Ooo!! That's a great advice that I also have never heard before!! Thanks!

[@melissamusick5864]

What you said about hope and failure was a lightbulb moment for me. This is exactly why I find it hard to throw out skincare and makeup that doesn't work for me.
