23 Items You Should DECLUTTER in 2023| Minimalism

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

I really like your hair in this video! Very pretty❤

[@jenniferg1317]

I've tried a bare fridge but honestly the joy it brings our little ones to add their artwork is unmatched. Plus we have an 18 year old this year so we are aware how way too fast the time goes.

[@michelesusanne1]

Make a gallery wall with frames, where you can put the artwork and switch it out when new ones are made.

[@LeMErin21]

I’m the same way, and I don’t have kids 😂 Seeing a picture of me with my great uncle (now deceased) held up by a New Kids on the Block magnet gives me great joy!! I may reduce, but I can’t imagine ever having a blank fridge. It doesn’t feel like visual clutter to me because it’s a source of joy 🤗

[@heatherpike5230]

Those memories are so worth keeping! I think it's important to put our kid's joy ahead of our aesthetic ideals.

[@kimberlystursa9183]

Great video. At our Goodwill and Salvation Army they won't take out of season decor. So it is best to donate them when you are putting them out instead of putting them away.

[@katasticone]

I love physical books too. Here's my trick for avoiding the clutter. I order the book initially through the library or on Kindle. If I love it and know I'll want to revisit, only then do I buy the physical copy.

[@janjones4772]

My grandmother, used baking soda as tooth paste. We were visiting when my brother ask for tooth past,so I go in to brush my teeth, it was new to us,so we were fine with it, it made our teeth whiter and feel cleaner and fresh,but you don’t use a big amount,try not to sallow it, although it won’t you, I still wii put a pinch in water and drink it, it helps the sour stomach,or gas on tummy go away, you’ll belch. Really old remedy’s. Your right about cleaning, it’s great for everything you showed, it was hard as favorite. Good for Greece in cloths too. Have wonderful day.👍👍👍

[@frannygrace2191]

This is very timely for me. I am going through our storage boxes. We moved from a 2-Br apt with lots of storage to a 36 ft RV and put everything in storage until we could find a house. It's been 12 years and we are still in the RV so I am giving up the dream of a house (for now!) and getting rid of things!

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Yes!!! Get rid of things!! I love that you said, for now. Letting things go that you aren't able to use will bless someone else!!

[@charlafraley8340]

As I aged I found reading on a kindle and the ability to change the font size has allowed me to read more. You probably aren’t in that season of life yet.

[@martir3914]

People like us in the military/MilSpouses love Kindles. 2600 books in one small package. Perfect for frequent moves, deployments and trainings.

[@beairdfamily]

Great list of 23 in 2023! Animal shelters, rescue organizations, and vet offices often LOVE towels, blankets, and bedding donations. We love knowing our items will help animals in need (and the people caring for them). 😃 Also, I was inspired by one of your previous videos and switched out all of my dishes and any entertaining pieces (which I also decluttered) to all white. I really thought I'd miss my colorful Fiestaware, but I am LOVING our streamlined and versatile selection of dishes! NO regrets!! I bought a set of Corningware from Wal-Mart and it takes up a lot less space and is easier and less expensive to replace if soemthing gets broken. That advice was so impactful - thank you!♥

[@pambeaman7490]

Your idea of getting rid of seasonal decor you didn’t use this year, has really been freeing to me, in my mind and in my space!

[@rachelemazza8623]

I love books too! Nothing like the feel of a book in your hand, sometimes the smell ... they really are old friends!

[@jennifercooper4014]

I also LOVE physical books! I rarely buy them…the library is my favorite place other than my home📚❤️

[@michelesusanne1]

We don't buy books or dvd's anymore. We use the library system. If they don't have what you want, you can often request it and they will purchase it. For 2023, I am using up all categories of consumables before purchasing new. For example, I have 1-2 yrs worth of note pads.

[@KimberlyWhaley]

I'm a single mother living in CA. Been working so hard so I can retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first condo this month and I can't be more proud than I am right now. I'm so glad I made good decisions about my finances that changed me forever.

[@Frances120]

Hey, I’m super proud of you. I wish you can take your time to give me a little guide on how to fix my finances. I’m in a mess right now and any tip from you would really go a long way.

[@KimberlyWhaley]

Hey sweetie. Apparently, I used the FIRE movement to put my finances in shape. You can research more about it. Then, lnvested in stocks, crypto-currencies and real estates crowdfunding through the assistance of an lnvestment pro I was able to achieve a lot.

[@Frances120]

That’s really nice, I would make my research like you said. Also, I would love to connect with you financial consultant. Hope you don’t mind?

[@KimberlyWhaley]

Okay His name is Robert Michael. He has been very influential in my financial journey. You can look up for *growingwithrobert* to connect with Robert.

[@Frances120]

Thanks so much. I wish you all the best and may God keep favouring you. Amen.

[@desertfish6239]

I do keep my old calendars at least 3 years back. I have had medical EOB's or bills come in months (or years) after my visit to the doctor. I often do not recognize the doctor's name on the bill or EOB and my calendar helps me remember where I was 18 months ago. Everything else gets thrown out or donated.

[@sct4040]

And all the statements too.

[@lynneross319]

I too love books, but the humidity where I live discolours my books. 😢 I only keep a few treasured ones now. I love my Kobo, as can borrow from the library which saves on space. Lighter to carry travelling and it has an inbuilt dictionary which is brilliant.

[@lindseylee251]

you're so right about the hair accessory !! Going to declutter right now!!

[@amydearman6361]

Speaking of repairing things. I found a size 4T dress in a pile today that needed the button sewn back on. I had been waiting to fix it because I never could find the dress and button at the same time. I found the dress today and retrieved the button from my desk drawer and finally sewed it back on. Now, I can finally get rid of the dress since my youngest daughter is in a size 14/16. LOL Why do we hold onto this stuff? I am so relieved to finally be getting it out of my house.

[@thefrugallife]

Haha the old planners😂. I used the passion planner for a few years and it had so much in them and notes from work conferences that I was “totally going to reread.” No I didn’t. Not once lol. Throwing out those old ones was amazing

[@orapronobis2149]

The notepads! The terrible time is when there is Back to School! Even without school age children within the home I love this time of the year. Unfortunately it is has a terrible result with so many cutie’s that I do not want to use! So, I have started decluttering and with great ones send to friends when I do a ground mail. The pens were another but I have been just closing my eyes and getting rid of it. No accepting freebies!

[@virgovenussunshine8397]

Helpful hint: listen to this and similar videos while your clearing clutter! I just cleaned out my dresser!! 😊

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Oh I love it!

[@debbiechomas316]

I get inspired by it too, and get a lot done. It is a motivator.

[@rebeccabaca559]

I would love to know what lipstick and nail polish color you are using!! It is so pretty!!

[@VS-fo9py]

Would love to see you go into friends houses and help them declutter and how that decision making process goes 😊

[@kathyward9879]

Great idea!

[@bonessam9618]

Great suggestions. Back in the day I only owned a hair dryer and 1 or 2 different sizes of curling irons. As I've aged I don't curl my hair but put it up in a ponytail or a clip...much less management so I've never owed anything else. I'm a physical book all the way type of reader. My biggest start to minimalism was Joshua Becker and then reading Marie Kondo's first book really through me into gear. Less is so much more!!

[@sonyadeleon1388]

Love your channel! But I have to ask you what color lipstick do you wear? I love it!💄💋❤

[@mewhitoh]

Love that phrase, "We become blind to our possessions when we get used to seeing them." Guilty

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Oh I'm guilty, too!! I think this happens to all of us!

[@joannajohnson696]

I love your positive approach. But, I need a BIG kitchen. We cook all our meals and there is never enough room.

[@alexandra109]

Great list! It’s funny the things over the last few years that I thought were “must haves” that I never thought I could do without that after I decluttered I haven’t missed. A few examples: ice cream scoop (spoon works just as well), toaster (I don’t really toast and the one/two times a year I do, using my broiler for 3 min/side works perfect). Some I sold for just a few $$ online, the rest I donated.

[@sandramariegray7894]

Books - like you I love a physical book. Mine come and then go to charity shops or the library.

[@marlysblanche4270]

Thanks for tune advice

[@luna7453]

i love physical books too. i just read on physical books usually :) wishing you a lovely end of the year :)

[@9kris97126]

I liked your video and yes it was very helpful!

[@plot10homestead58]

There will never be a bare fridge or plain white plates in our home 😂 I love to declutter and will gladly recycle and donate things that are no longer serving us well, but I will not declutter things that make us happy and create a colorful, cozy home.

[@sct4040]

There is absolutely no need to go white, if you have colored plates use and enjoy them.

[@Myfreedommoney]

I need to declutter more

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Just a little every day, or every week makes a HUGE difference in the long run!

[@lytaylor1204]

Be careful when you say "never". I was that same person "I will NEVER get rid of physical books". Well, look at me now, 100% audiobook, I haven't bought physical books for 5 years 😅

[@frogleymom]

True story! Never say never!!

[@Carolmaizy]

So true! Everything I've ever declared "never" to, I've done. It's embarrassing, lol.

[@erintannehill]

Same!! 😂

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

I am anti-refrigerator magnets/display space! It's visual clutter!! And...nothing people put on their fridge needs to be or should be in the kitchen. Even when my kids were little, no pictures/artwork/reminders were placed on the fridge. I put a small framed cork-board in the laundry room to hang one of each kid's artwork per week, then it got mailed to a grandparent or aunt/uncle.

[@Myfreedommoney]

Love this.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

So glad it was helpful!

[@BayRaeDay]

#1 sounds so simple but I struggle with getting rid of my Vitamix. I use it once a year to make pumpkin purée 😅

[@michelesusanne1]

Maybe set a goal to use it more. Try making smoothies, nut butter, mayo, hummus, tomato soup/s

[@plot10homestead58]

I made the decision not to declutter kitchen appliances, even if I only use them a few times each year. Two of my personal goals are to cook from scratch whenever possible and to preserve fresh food (from our garden and local markets). Both of those tasks are easier and more efficient with the appropriate tools. Over the last few years, I've purchased the appliances and gadgets that are necessary and created a space for them in our basement storage area. These items don't need to take up valuable real estate in the kitchen, and I know exactly where they are when I'm ready to can 50lbs of tomatoes, do a major food prep day or bake a special treat :)

[@yvonnelanese-coppola4999]

I keep my kitchen appliances, I use my crockpot. I really don’t use my kitchen aide, but when I make Christmas cookies I use it. I have a bread maker, got as a present. Never used it. Can’t let it go, would love to learn to make fresh bread.

[@LeMErin21]

Two questions: 1) Do you have a link for that wallet? 2) Where do you recycle planners?

[@martha4136]

Great suggestion, thank you. What white dishes do you have? Love the new wallet, may I ask where you found it? Many thanks!

[@fierafirefairy315]

I am like you with the physical books, I have one of those ereader things. It mostly collects dust. The physical books however, get well used. The ereader has a couple of books I do like to read occasionally, and would probably read more if they weren't on the ereader..which is really the only reason I have kept the thing.

[@glyderglyder]

Amazing

[@loriwagner2766]

I really need to declutter in the new year!! Thanks so much for all the tips! Great video.

[@sarahsteele9594]

The junk drawer is a killer! Plus my husband adds stuff or doesn't put what he took out in the same spot

[@dorisrougvie1793]

Loads great ideas

[@Carolmaizy]

You had lots of great suggestions here!

[@fredalkent]

Clutter is middle class abundance

[@johnjanedoe1676]

No getting rid of plastic bags here! I'm collecting them instead! They're making them illegal here for stores to use. 😩 And I use them for the garbage

[@yvonnelanese-coppola4999]

I use plastic bags for my kitties poop from litter box

[@janjones4772]

I love my make up. I try and try, but unless it’s dried out I can’t get rid of it. Love lipstick, well maybe I’ll wear it again. I know I shouldn’t use it anymore , I think of all that money I spent. What shall I do? Thanks for sharing 👋👍👍👍

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Remember you can't get the money back just by keeping it!!

[@Myfreedommoney]

I love books. My whole den is full of books. I read both degitsl too.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

I promote keeping what you LOVE!!! My mom loves books, too!! She has a beautiful library!

[@Myfreedommoney]

@@FancyThatwithCandice aaawwwww wonderful.

[@katiebabcock4929]

We have quite a book selection mainly for the kids. One of my children absolutely just loves to actually read from an actual book . also have a few looks from my childhood that my mom kept and now my kids are reading. For the hair stuff my main go to are scrunchies but I have kept some stuff throughout the years that I'm not sure if I should hold on to or not but they're in a komodo and it's not inside it's actually put away.

[@petergeorge4415]

To be reminded of little tiny (or big) items is always so freeing! And kind to taking the time giving up the list ! Thank you so much, it is a no.1 goal for January!!! ;) helene

[@ImLunaShesZeta]

I finally upgraded (also read downsized) my wallet after over 13 years. I had lived and used it longer than without it.

[@emilyanderson9107]

Great video!!!! Where did you get the cute wallet????

[@melissac.5948]

Jewelry can become a problem. I decided that the way out of the problem was to buy only fine jewelry. I carefully thought about what kinds of jewelry to buy - what styles suited my lifestyle and wardrobe, what flattered me, what enhanced my professional image, what I truly loved. I searched for jewelry that could do double-duty, for example hoop earrings that were yellow gold on one side and white gold on the other, necklaces that were adjustable in length, several different pendants for each chain, smaller rings that could be stacked in many ways. I spent time deliberating on each purchase - was it truly a good buy? Did I truly love the piece? Was it timeless and durable? When you slowly build a small but wonderful jewelry collection, you won’t feel the need to constantly add to it because you’ll want to wear the pieces you already have and love. I organize my jewelry in small, portable, soft-sided organizers that can be easily hidden in my home or taken away in an emergency. 😊

[@sct4040]

We are of the same mind.

[@pattykell3156]

Thx for those ideas will use them for sure im new here hi

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

So happy to have you here!!! Merry Christmas!

[@Ati_da_di]

I have been trying to find a way to recycle fabric...does anyone know where those typ of centers are?

[@lavenderandluxury]

Love your channel, it's so motivating. Thank you for all your hard work! Also where did you get your menu board?

[@Myfreedommoney]

Omg yes my jewelry.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

It gets so out of control!

[@InGodImoveandbreath]

Lovethis thank you

[@annfurlong7921]

One quick way to get the smell of food, especially onions, off your hands is to rub them on the sides of your stainless steel sink.

[@PressmanGraphics]

I’ve been looking to minimize my wallet - which one did you get?

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

TJ maxx!! I love it!

[@msanderlin3330]

Books, Books, and Never Enough Books.

[@claudiaschunior8070]

I just can’t not get into e books. I have to hold a book in my hands

[@TheSeibold6]

Unmatched socks ? Jewelry from an ancestor sitting in garage ?? Advice ?

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Yes!!! I would use the unmatched sock for dusting, and I'd take out the jewelry and wear it! :)

[@Myfreedommoney]

No maam I nned my dishes for every season. Lol

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Keep what you LOVE!!!

[@pinkrainbowkennelz1640]

Get rid of large kitchen appliances. OK let's get rid of the stove .And replace it with an air fryer😘🤪🤣

[@sandradisclafani6725]

❤️👍🏻

[@jeme7339]

The containers weren't actually 'Tupperware.'

[@annlavine3576]

i like books. books about the bible and cats

[@nikkimunir]

Shamelessly ver into hair clips these days hahaha

[@sct4040]

Instead of custom jewelry, save your money and buy yourself a nice piece in gold or silver. Don’t buy junk jewelry!
