When a Hoarder Declutter & Organize her Extremely Messy Purse!! KonMari Your Handbag & Clean with Me

[@thewhatsup]

My mom cleaned out her purse once and found large rocks, amongst many toys, in it. My brother had made it a habit that her purse was his place for anything he want to take home or keep. She had no idea.

[@aninastettler2008]

I love this😂🥰

[@porcelina956]

If my mom carried a purse when we were kids that would be hers LOL

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh my goodness, that is great 🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing!!!

[@eing20]

I stopped carrying a purse for a while bc the kids and hubby always wanted me to tote their things when we went places so they didn't have to. 🤦‍♀️

[@audreysavard3248]

Haha, I had a friend who had a brick in her purse. We can find anything in those.

[@stephaniebyrne5491]

For all my reward cards I punched a hold in the corner and I have them all on a ring . They r all together and easy to find❤️🇨🇦

[@heatherpobursky-smith6984]

Me too

[@heatherpobursky-smith6984]

Me to.

[@AmyWhoLovesFlowers]

Great idea! I imagine a notecard ring works better than a keychain ring? I like using a card-size zip change purse for my cards, but this sounds like a fun! I hope a paper hole-puncher will do

[@bethanyb1760]

All the rewards cards that I use, which is basically gas and Target, I use my phone number. Don’t have the cards anymore.

[@TheSweetForever]

I use key ring. An app that stores all loyalty cards. Been using it for 10 plus years. No problems.

[@happinin07]

My bag is filled with little zipper pouches. Ones for chargers, one for toiletry/meds things, writing supplies, etc. Nothing is floating. I just have to pull out the right pouch to get something, or to replace something. Also, if I know I will run errands that won't demand something, I can take out the pouch.

[@ahoardersheart]

Love it!!! That is great!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@tonietteh2015]

Zip pouches in my purse keep me organized ! One for cosmetics and meds One for pens and note pads One for money and gift cards One for emergency stuff like bandaids and kleenex and sanitizing gel pads cause I am a walking disaster hahaha The ipsy glam bags can be used as purse zip pouches 🐱

[@melligolightly]

So cute to include fur baby moms 🥰🐱 You have got such a fun personality. ☺️

[@eSusan12]

Nice job! The organized soprano has a purse organizing section in her utility closet. Where you can put supplies you like to have for your purse but not all the time. I just cleaned out my wallet OMG.

[@ahoardersheart]

Lol!! Oh good to know! I’ll have to check her out!!!

[@eSusan12]

A Hoarder's Heart she is doing some clutter therapy sessions on KZbin live. They are fun to watch, and if you wanted to submit a space she might have some ideas for you.

[@madeleinesvensson-m3y]

eSusan12 that is a really good idea! Then you just grab what you need for the day 😊

[@itoshiibaka8267]

What a cool idea!

[@heatherwieler726]

There's an app you can get to put all those cards on - it's called Stocard.

[@clairebear1847]

just make sure you dont throw the cards away because ive had the app crash before and I lost everything. keep the cards somewhere around the house just in case

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh really? I’ll have to check it out, thank you!!

[@itoshiibaka8267]

I use that, too! If you link it to an account, you can reconnect and have the cards back instantly. 🙂

[@wendymackenzie3937]

Pencil case for pens will save purse inside.

[@miranda8598]

Thanks, great video!

[@caramoonlynn]

That's a good idea. And maybe a little bag for the makeup?

[@summerbaby4600]

I hope the ziplock would work for you. When I tried to divide into so many pouches, I had hard time remembering the categories and where to find an item, or where to put back. Eventually I forget what was in some of the pouches, and ended up carrying things I didn’t need. Now I just stick to a wallet and 1 pouch for small items, in the purse. And that’s been working for me.

[@ProgressiveHomemaker]

I have never seen such a colorful collection of purse things! You are so fun! And you're the only other person I know who carries good luck stones in her purse! I use 1 little bag inside my purse, too (mine says "green is groovy") I keep all toiletries in that one bag together which includes makeup, a mirror, medicine, hair ties, femme supplies, cough drops, hand sanitizer, etc. I keep my wallet and checkbook in a zippered pocket together. I keep coupons in my wallet along with cash and cards.

[@MelindaLee]

Happy Mothers day sweetie, much blessings and enjoy your day!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you 🌷💗💐 I hope you had a great day too!!!

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Love those bags...so cute and practical. That magnet is precious! 😂

[@sunflower7766]

I use make up pouches to organise my handbag. Makes it easier to find stuff. I'm sure you will feel better not having to carry all that stuff around with you. Take care x

[@laurabalzekas4163]

Me too! A lot of people I know get Ipsy bags and give the empty bag to me and they are perfect for organizing inside my purse :)

[@heatherpobursky-smith6984]

I have make-up bags in my purse that are medicine, makeup, female hygiene, first aid, pens w small notes, wallet and keys have there own pocket in my bag. So it keeps it clean

[@heatherpobursky-smith6984]

I started it when my kids were lil and I need to able to grab something fast easy out my diaper bag. I always had a female hygiene bag from when I start in high school I found it less embarrassing when I have to go to the bathroom. I had three kids three and under and I wanted one bag and not to have to carry a purse as well. So I just compartmentalized thing for everyone and thing. And never stopped. I still carry a big bag when I got out with family. And my wallet and hand sanitizer keys go in a crossbody bag that fit in my big bag with all my zipper bags. Because moms purse are where everyone stuff goes lol. So I still feel like I have a diaper bag lol

[@wendymackenzie3937]

Me too

[@jeannebowes2898]

Friday is purse and car day in Flylady land. I also once used it for gym bags , lunch bags, and back packs for the children . I have to empty my crossbody every night or it would be the world’s smallest dumpster! We happily worked on the mailbox garden and is nearly complete. We will set out the annuals tomorrow. We have a sad little corner in our yard that Alan will load with sunflowers and zinnias seeds tomorrow. Then we will start on critical concrete and drive repair before the winter sets in. I like the zip lock pouches. I have never seen them. I do use the plain ones though. Great organization!

[@decorhomelifestyle]

Well Done my friend! Many Blessings! 🏡🌼🌻🌴🌞💕💎 I hope you had a Blessed and Happy Mother's Day!

[@caterina4151]

Happy Mother’s Day! You’ve are very inspirational to many, thank you ❤️

[@rachelselby5469]

That was very satisfying. I also use little plastic pouches to contain categories in my bag.

[@aninastettler2008]

Put the key with the card - workstuff together.

[@isabellerininger6249]

I use the tiny version of all the discount/rewards cards and string them on a key ring in my purse. Way less space and super handy. 👍

[@madeleinesvensson-m3y]

Maybe you should put an emty one in there aswell for things like receipts that you pick up along the way? You should not put that with your worktag and pens because it will get all mixed up 😊 You can put the extra emty ziplockbag inside of the miscellaneous one until you get use for it! 😊

[@eavening4149]

Idea: put work badge with work keys. Isn't it incredible how much stuff we can tote around! A regular purse declutter as a new habit will keep your purse so nice and so clean.

[@beckiblack859]

Love it! It feels so good to be organized.

[@sheilanolagal]

LOVE your videos! Happy Mother's Day! 💗 Since work phone & keys are next to each other & easily accessible, wouldn't you want your work badge to be with those keys? Also noticed you kept 2 compact mirrors. Do you need to have both in your purse? Congrats on conquering purse clutter! Your shoulders will thank you! lol 😊

[@ahoardersheart]

I forgot to say that work badge is for the other office! I only go to the other office once every 2 weeks! But it does make more sense to keep in next to the keys!! Lol I’ll put it there! And I couldn’t decide which mirror to keep bc I love them both 🤣 That’s what a hoarder does, cannot make up her mind and keeps both!! lol

[@dcstk100]

If you want you can always use your phone instead of a mirror.

[@tonietteh2015]

Omgosh! Those semi transparent zip pouches are perfect for a purse because you can see what's in them You really Do Got This!!!! I know I know bad grammar police are going to come after me yet you do know how to organize and you did prepare yourself for this great challenge you started for yourself. 🦄🦄🦄🦄

[@shannongalvin1827]

Happy Mother’s Day! I watched this video during my 15 minute break from my psychology assignment I’m trying to get done today hahah. It was a nice way to spend my little break so thank you!! 💕

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! You are so sweet!!! Thank you so much!!! Good luck on your psychology assignment!!!

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

Yay, what a great little project to tackle, it is so easy to fill up the handbag... :)

[@thestrugglingperfectionist]

Lol, thanks for the Mother’s Day gift of posting a new video for us!! 😉😘 love the micro sorting in the bags. My purse is from JCPenney and uber functional.

[@Lashlove16]

I do a weekly dump of my purse to keep it clean A game changer is Office Depot Brand Poly Envelope, 2" Expansion, Check Size. I stuff all my receipts in there and then grab the envelope weekly and check my statements . It’s also good as it has an outside pocket so I put my receipts in there for items I need to return . I have had mine for over 10 years

[@barbarap6851]

Hi! Nice job! Those zip loc bags are really cute. Happy Mother's Day!

[@cristycordero9978]

Feliz dia de madres, muchos besos, abrazos y una explosión de amor. Blessings!

[@mrswilliamstoyou3325]

That's nothing compared to my satchel, lol! Every toiletry you can imagine is in my purse, makeup, work stuff, snacks, planner, pens, air freshener, poopouri, lint rollers, a container full of perfume samples, tissues, phone, hand sanitizer, brush, comb, hairspray, etc.. it's ALL in my purse!

[@jaminxc143]

Love love love love love!!!!

Happy Mothers day beautiful lady have a wonderful day purse looks great congratulations

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you 🌷💗💐 I hope you had a great day too!!!

[@hmms5256]

Seeing all your stuff on the floor next to your bag reminds me of the I Spy computer puzzles.

[@suga6479]

I'm from the UK and have been watching a couple of your videos.. your doing amazing..💜

[@Anberel]

You might have let the pouches sit, but you remembered them and could find them easily so that’s great progress. For the cards, if they let you give a phone number instead of swiping the card you can throw the cards away or store them in a drawer. There are also apps that will let you scan in your reward cards and they can scan your phone. I do this with Michael’s and Joann Fabrics coupon apps and it scans easily.

[@brittnye2865]

I found myself carrying way too much stuff and I hated lugging it around. I’ve given up using a purse and use a fanny pack. Contains a mini wallet for my ID/bank cards, cash/coins, chapstick, hand sanitizer, mini packable reusable bag(for shopping), with a zipper pocket if I need to add feminine products. Keeps my arms/shoulders free. Love it.

[@CindyG-NYC]

Fun to watch! You have a great attitude.

[@josephdaly2015]

Happy Mother’s Day 💐 That was great 👍👏

[@michelehice8338]

Happy Mother's day!! Great job.. Ladies just a fyi...when I go shopping..I leave my purse at home and also my phone..I only take my debit card..that way I don't contaminant every thing in my purse

[@ahoardersheart]

Ohhhh...I didn’t even think of that! Very smart, thank you for sharing!!!

[@michelehice8338]

@@ahoardersheart your welcome..I also take Clorox wipes in with me..wipe the cart down ..and wipe my hands constantly..and wipe off the keypad..and my debit card before I put back in my pocket..and also my car door handle..I've almost got my hubby trained..lol

[@caramoonlynn]

Happy Mother's day! I usually just dump my backpack on the bed and go for it!

[@truneilson]

Like things together, then in bags:makeup bag, pens... punch a hole all the random cards and corral on a binder ring.

[@sandragregg9079]

I use to carry a big wallet. Was heavy and big. Now I use I small card case. Perfect I don't need to carry so many cc. It helps me spend less because I only use my debit card.

[@CULady]

Love it! I use an app call key ring and then the cards go. My husband likes to carry a few other than that I trash the rest.

[@pamelaperkinsbrown2770]

You are getting better to remember that you had this good job

[@ICHMUSSMALPIPI]

I'm sure these little pouches will help you stay organized :) I like that they are clear so you can see exactly what's in them

[@ahoardersheart]

They do!!! I just love them bc I don’t have to dig in my purse anymore!!

[@lizzyg3487]

I love your purse. If it was crossbody I'd be seriously lusting after it. I keep my purse small, one because I have a tendency to Mary Poppins my purses, but second because I have shoulder problems and can't have too much weight on my arms or shoulder. Technically they said I need to go to a rolling bag, but no, I'm not rural but I'm really close to it. Who has a rolling bag out in the boondocks.

[@lizzyg3487]

And if anyone doesn't understand the Mary Poppins part, I'm known for having everything in my tiny purse. Diaper and wipes? Yes. Spare underwear and leggings for potty training child? Yes. Candy to get the small kids through the excessively long band concerts? Yes. Sticky notes to put on a babies toe to distract them from their tears? Yes. An entire pharamacy? Yes. And so it goes. My kids once joked I was going to pull a lamp out one day, so I reached for my purse and pulled out 2 flashlights. Yeah I'm like packing magic for a purse barely bigger than a paperback book.

[@littlefixeswithheidi1267]

Mary Poppins, cute reference :)

[@ritavasnanigurbani6063]

Happy Mother's Day girl! Unexpected but I really enjoyed the video!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, thank you ❤️🙏🏻❤️ During the quarantine I was trying to do an extra video!!!

[@cack121]

There is a "key ring" app for your phone. You can actually add all those loyalty cards on it. Then toss the cards. Greatest thing I ever found ACCOUNTABILITY time my friend. 1st....great job on the purse 2nd....you went and grabbed your organizers from the laundry room and the rack you took it from it quite cluttered again. KEY to decluttering is keeping up what you have already done. Take 10 min and put crafts in the bin, remove trash etc. YOU GOT THIS So excited for you

[@itoshiibaka8267]

Very satisfying video! ❤

[@Saaaaarah]

Happy Mother’s Day! 💗🌸

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you 🌷💗💐 I hope you had a great day too!!!

[@elizabethlangheim9460]

Happy Mothers Day and what a great video. Consider putting an empty pouch for receipts and miscellaneous toys and all the extras you know are only temporarily in your purse then you can do a quick declutter on that pouch on a daily or weekly basis.

[@aninastettler2008]

Do you nead 2mirrows in one purse???

[@gapeach51170]

Great job. I organize in bags too but when I decluttered all my handbags/bags (they were out of control) I used stuff I already had. It does work to keep your handbag in order. :) Flylady says you should pick a day every week and go through your purse and purge receipts , trash and stuff that doesn't belong. I have not been successful doing this but I do keep my handbag cleaner than I used to :)

[@StormyRiver8970]

Happy mothers day, girl!!

That was once most grandmothers carry their stuff before purse organizers👛👜👝🛍🎒🎊🎉🗂📂🗃

[@crazycroney]

The small bags are how the Japanese organize their purses and book bags. Everything is a bag in a bag. But the main thing is that if it gets pulled out, you have put it back in the bag. Great job!!!

[@elenaali6931]

It feels mind soothing right now

[@alanbirkner1958]

December 2023: I've never, ever used a purse organizer. I just carry a small purse with zippered compartments. When we travel (even on a 2 week cruise), I carry a small tote and an overnight bag. Tina, Al's wife

[@Momsdailyagenda]

These ziploc bags are great for traveling and getting through tsa.

[@AmyWhoLovesFlowers]

Happy belated Mother’s Day! 🌷 My bag has definitely been there! Please let us know how the ziplock system works out for you-I love their semi-clear design, so cute! Personally, I just KNOW I would forget which is which or miss putting things where they belong in a hurry… If it happens to you, maybe try color-coding the top zips or labeling the pouches in small letters where you can read it from above? So interesting that Ziplock has designed these, my mom is famous for carrying a few ziplock sandwich baggies for grandkid rocks, leftover treats, anything at all. I try to do it too. Very handy! 🧞‍♀️ Congrats on your freshly organized purse!! Inspiring as always

[@RishkaPandy]

For the cards, you can add the numbers, emails and other information as a contact in your phone (or just take a photo) and then get rid of the cards. And then in future, you can ask to just take a photo instead of taking the card itself and add it as a contact later in you want

[@Momsdailyagenda]

Luv! I need these pouches

[@porcelina956]

Happy Mother's day enjoy time with your family all of mine is too scared to get together. Thanks for the what's in my bag video. Your definitely a mom or a wife if you go through your purse and find toys or husband stuff. My husband asks me to smuggle Mountain Dews for him.

Does anyone have any ideas How to think when decluttering books? This is hard to do for me.

[@fangirl365]

I’d say first, decluttering the ones that don’t spark joy for you, and we can figure it out from there depending on what problem you are having

[@fabrichkagreshka2533]

It is so intimate, to talk about getting rid of books, like giving someone advice for getting rid of the underwear but less awkward :) Try reading a few different blog articles and videos and find what's best for you. I have same journey in front of me, and I will start with the book that were gifted to me, but mean nothing to me just like any other gift that someone would give you like, a billionth coffee mug or scarf or purse :D

[@bethc8809]

I divide the contents of my purse into three ipsy bags. They're similar sizes, but different textures so I can dig for what I need quickly. Bag 1 has coupons, receipts, sticky notes and a pen. Bag 2 has personal care: lipgloss and the like. Bag 3 has my keys. I do pet sitting so I have 4 household keys I am responsible for in addition to constantly being like "where's my car key?!" Now that the plastic that kept it on the keyring has broken off and it's all by itself.

[@rosaliev8942]

Happy mothersday! Maybe it's time to empty out my purse too 😅

[@Lark_Vivian]

straight after this video I went to Walmart's website and ordered a pack of each kind of those ziploc bags..I have 20 bags coming! lols I don't even hoarde but I had to buy them.

[@alicequinn5194]

My purse was buckling under the weight of all my store cards and gift cards coupons anything like that as I love a bargain! I downloaded an app called Stocard and its a GAME CHANGER lol just take a photo of the front and back of the card and name it in the app then you can scan them or show them in store with no problems. I was hesitant at first as was worried they wouldn’t accept the digital version in any stores not officially linked with the app but I’ve used it for over a year now and even independent and charity shops near me have had no problem scanning it for their loyalty cards so I’d definitely give it a go it’s free 🥳 xxx
