AMAZING SURVIVAL STORY | Cleaning for FREE! ❤️

[@taji4857]

Hi Aurikstariina, my mom in Japan broke her leg and hospitalized. I live in US, so I couldn’t visit her since Covid. But when I went to her house, I found dirty house piles of clothes and moldy dishes and pots in the kitchen. My sister and I were shocked and devastated, but I watched one of your video again right there, and got empowered. It’s been 4 days of cleaning and throwing away soiled stuff. When I see some disgusting stuff, I picture you smiling and excited, and I can get on it. Thank you so much for making cleaning such a positive thing.

[@js7924]

I hope your mom recuperates quickly and that you and your sibling know what a blessing you are to her. Glad you were able to visit her. (I lived in Okinawa for 4 yrs as a child. Still remember Tokyo!)

[@millie9236]

I hope all is well😊

[@HollhouseVanHouten]

I truly believe Aurikatariina’s positive attitude towards cleaning has helped my mental attitude towards dirt and grime. I’m glad to hear it’s not just me! She empowers me to clean and her tips on how to clean have genuinely helped me. I hope you mom is doing better now ❤️

[@HollhouseVanHouten]

@@js7924sorry for the random comment, but I noticed your profile picture and I love your hair! Grey hair is beautiful, i used to dye my hair grey and it’s my favourite hair colour I’ve had, I hope when I naturally go grey it’s as beautiful as yours is! ❤️

I like the saying "just because it's not bad, doesn't mean you're happy or that it's meant for you"

[@belleve5709]

My best advice ever, never stay more than 3 minutes after a person doesn't want to be with you,or you with them. There are single people of all ages sitting home praying for you to come share a life together. Take care of you ,get to know yourself ,maybe your enough yourself! I spent 3 years looking for a mate to come into my life after a very difficult divorce. I finally decided my kids were enough and didn't need a mate. I was so happy about my decision. But God had something else in mind, I was married less than a month later! They watched me from close up and faraway for 3 years, thought there was no way they would get involved with a divorced parent. But once I'd stopped chasing love and was just happy to be me , they stepped in and offered everything! We have been married 34 years ! We just fit. Not perfect but very blessed.If it's meant to be it will be. Take care of you!

Super admire that you were able to recognize the relationship wasn't right for you. It's hard to take a huge leap and change something when there's no "problem".

Trauma always shows outwardly. Messy houses, addiction, obesity, poor relationships. Some of us have one or more. I always am ashamed to have a messy home, so that is clean and tidy. Sadly, i don’t take the same care for my self and i am overweight and in poor health. Auri is helping me realize that i can clean myself up by taking steps like she does with cleaning houses.

[@NarnianLady]

My experience is, in Western cultures it is the opposite: a woman who wants marriage and love, is seen as weak and dependant - there is the ideal of a strong, independent woman, who does not need or long for a man. Just my personal experience.. and many of my single friends' as well :) It does not help that most men do not want marriage either.

[@jeanieolahful]

Sometimes you can really love someone, yet you don’t share the same goals and dreams. Your goals and dreams sound amazing. I can really appreciate what you say about your freedom, I was married for 20 years, and now I’ve been single for as long, and I just can’t give that up. It’s not for everyone, but for those of us who get it, there’s nothing like the freedom of being single and controlling what you do, where you go, and never having to consult with someone else. Perhaps down the road you and Sami can be friends, and I’m sure breaking up was so very sad, but you did the right thing.

[@LydiaKrow]

It's so hard to make a decision like breaking up when things are GOOD. Sami seems like such a great guy, and I'm relieved that there was no drama. If you know you need flexibility and freedom, it's best to be honest and forthright and accept the consequences rather than live a half life. I wish you both the best.

[@kimtatami6559]

This hits hard for me coz I was in similar situation with a guy. He was great but I just felt he wasn't right. Something was missing .. I didn't know what. . I ended it and still wonder if I made the right decision as I haven't found anyone as nice or genuine but I am happy with my life

[@wgrish3619]

I am 43, single, and child free (though I am a dog mom), and I still feel exactly as you do. I prefer to be by myself more often than not, and the freedom to do whatever I want, when I want, keeps me happy. If I want to have company, I have friends and/or family join me on my travels or adventures, but having the option and freedom is "living my dream." I hope you keep living your dream, too!

[@ryanstephens8403]

I love that she was so open and mature about her break up. The saying "if you love them , you will set them free." Is exactly what she did. She loves Sami and she knew she couldn't give him what he wanted in life. He wouldn't have been able to settle down and raise the family that she knew he wanted. She wants to be free and I admire that. People ( not just men, women will do you dirty just as much if not more ) need to take note ... If you're not happy/satisfied with your relationship, you DONT CHEAT ...YOU MAKE A DECISION TO LEAVE OR STAY AND FIX IT . unfortunately though Ari's problem isn't something you can fix. Much love you to Ari and Sami ❤️

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm almost 27 and definitely not looking for anyone. My friends and family keep saying I need to find someone and get married so I can have kids ect. And while I do want kids, I don't right now. And I definitely don't want to be tied down to someone. I love that I can come and go as I please without worrying about someone else. I struggled with this for a long time, I depended on relationships so much when I was younger but now I just depend on myself because at the end of that day that's all we have. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

[@N7Biotic]

You're still young, and it's your choice! I'm 29 and still single. I've been single for about 5 years and quite happy right now. My family want me to find someone aswell, as my sister was married at my age. I had really terrible relationships in the past, and it's made me trusting a relationship pretty hard. I have a lot medical conditions that also effect my fertilty and I'm like, I'm not ready for a relationship nor even think about having kids - the pressure is real. I have tried dating, and have seen a guy a few times, but It's still early days yet. I am 30 this year, and I can just about afford keeping myself alive in the current climate - having to pay for travelling, food and going out dating, I can't afford it, tbh xD

[@claudieC.]

You learned a great lesson. Your lucky you learned young.

[@VioletJoy]

It's too common for romantic relationships to be seen as the ultimate in life. Most people have that desire, but not everyone does. I really can't stand to hear people tell others what they should do with their lives. I'll bet there are far more people who regret getting married than those who who regret remaining single. While I personally love children, it's a massive responsibility, which isn't discussed enough.

[@claudieC.]

@@VioletJoy very well articulated. I think relationships are great but they take maturity and patience and one has to have worked through their childhood issues and traumas and pass hurts from other relationships before attracting a healthy partner and being a healthy partner. Showing up as a whole person not all unhealthy and dysfunctional and carrying issues from every relationship with oneself and having no healing just more hurt with more emotional baggage to carry. It's a great time to get therapy it's almost free right now online. Some have group therapy weekly online for 64.00 a month and your first one is free. I myself have viewed the choices and they have some very good ones.

[@lula-kester]

For now my house is not in bad shape. It's a bit cluttered and dusty but I manage. I really understand the mental state that leads to your home getting the condition many of your videos show though. You know it's bad. You don't want it to be that way. You want it clean and you want to be able to do it yourself. In fact, you manage to find the motivation every now and then. So you go get the things you need or you hype yourself up on the way home from work... then you get in there and try to start... it's almost instantly overwhelming. Which quickly gets you very very angry and depressed about the situation all over again. Sometimes though you are able to make a little progress but you hit some sort of roadblock at some point and can't figure out how to get yourself around it. It's a vicious cycle. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone! Auri is such a hero for helping these people out! & companies like Scrub Daddy are great for helping her be able to do even more!

I wish you many happy adventures in your cleaning journeys around the world! x

[@mlemlemelmelemly]

Hi Auri, this is my first comment to you. First, I wanna say that I always watch your videos and they give me (and many others) so much hope. I also suffer from depression and anxiety and seeing you happily clean up even the most hopeless looking messes gives me strength to get up and clean--because like you say, there's no such thing as a mess that can't be cleaned up. Hearing you say that in your videos was so powerful for me, thank you so much. Second, I wanted to tell you I'm proud of you for making the hard decision to split up with Sami. I think a lot of people feel pressure to get married just because society says it's what we're "supposed to do," but I think choosing to stay single and be free is also a wonderful thing. I also broke up with my ex-girlfriend three years ago because I realized being alone and having my own life and freedom makes me happier and I wouldn't trade that for anything or anyone. Even if you love someone so much, you won't be happy if you have to give up what *you* want to give someone else what *they* want. I think you are amazing! Wishing you happiness. PS I live in Japan and they don't sell Scrub Daddy or Power Paste, but I had my friend help me get my hands on some. It's great! :)

[@rocketpsyence]

I think it was really smart to recognize you guys aren't compatible before getting married and having kids. That could have bred a lot of resentment between both of you and made for a really unhappy life. I've seen too many people in that situation. I think you made the right choice. Hope he's doing OK and finds someone whose life goals are in line with his. Actually this makes me feel good about my own choices too! Sometimes I feel self conscious because I'm getting older and not really trying to date, but I just have stuff to do! And yeah dating someone takes up a lot of time. But I feel like people don't ever acknowledge that it's ok to have other goals in life. I think I'll be happier going at my own pace and having freedom of movement.

[@valenechavez8448]

You’re a very selfless brave woman. I admire you so much. I know your decision even though it was yours , it wasn’t easy. Sami does deserve a family if that’s what he wants.

Thank you so much Auri for sharing your story... you are validating that not all women need to settle down with marriage and children as tradition has it, but that there is so much life has to offer, and we all have the choice of making a life for ourselves... to settle in a relationship means accepting less than what we want or deserve, so I am happy you have chosen your wants, needs, hopes and dreams; more women need to hear this, thank you and love to you!

Going through a break up is always hard. It’s even worse when things are good but you both want different things in life. I had a similar break up.

[@erdnuzz8368]

From the Relationship i had and my Sisters Marriage: Doing things alone is actually very healthy. Klinging too much on your partner is not healthy at all. Having own things and hobbies and expieriences actually make you appreaciate the time together more. You are still a own person with own needs, even if in a relationship or a marriage. So after years of glued together, my sis took a trip to sweden with only her best friends. Her Husband disliked that a lot. But when she came back she was happy to be with him and their home again and had many stories to tell. And both said, afterwards, it was very refreshing for both of them. (And her husband now knows how much work a big house is) And for me - i broke up many times because it felt like a cage for me. Im very good off on my own, if i want a partner, i need someone who is not in need to see me every day and has their own things and stuff he wants to do. Afterall the rules for a relationship should be made by the partners, not the standard rules society sees as the right one.

I struggled with a lot of violence and neglect at home, moved out a few years ago at 15 and I'm still struggling to get through the day.

And as each thing crumbled away I decided I didn't want the conventional lifestyle. I traveled (alone), moved across country a couple of times, went back to school, and had a good life. You do you!

[@justme8841]

Thing is she doesn't want a career but she really wants to help.

[@squintymcpoppins3609]

I ended an engagement that felt similar - we were generally happy, but in the end it felt like we didn't fit as a couple, like we were the wrong match. He didn't agree, but I didn't want to stay when I knew it felt wrong. It was a very strange decision to make, because we didn't really have any major problems.

[@Renisanxious]

I'm so glad that you felt comfortable enough to tell us about your break up. I always hate when influencers announce a break up but stay secretive about it and cause drama around it online. It's your business and no one else's but you made sure to minimize confusion and room for people to gossip. Anyway, thank you for all that you do!

[@kck9742]

I don't think we're entitled to know the personal details of KZbinrs and "influencers." If Auri had simply mentioned, "By the way, Sami and I broke up" just as an explanation of why he was no longer in her videos, and offered no further details, that would have been fine too.

[@peachy_lili]

@@kck9742 Good personal opinion, but OP wasn't implying we are entitled to anything. They just said they don't like it when influencers deliberately tell the audience but then keep it hush-hush to stir up buzz around the issue. And Auri said herself, she wanted to share because she herself is 'super curious' about those situations.

[@user-3l1]

I'm sorry for the break up, he was so kind and supportive with you and your job, but I hope you can be happy by your own and continue helping people around the world. Luckily in the future you will find someone who shares your goals

[@ceciliaatkins5374]

I’m an avid fan from the USA. I bought a lot of Scrub Daddies because of you and I love them!❤

[@LadyAurora10]

I did too (in Finland) 😃 They work!

[@jdavis5435]

I did the same, USA. My husband secretly loves them too. He makes messes so he can use them.

[@danielwhitehouse7272]

Me too! I have all different kinds of them. My husband started using them too!

[@jylromain6439]

Don't ever give up on your dreams, my dear. I wish you the best of everything.

[@ravennareins3629]

So I only discovered your channel 3 days ago and I'm obsessed. You are such an amazing person and I have to say, fair play to you for wanting a change, breakups are so hard and I admire you for following your heart. I wish I had the courage to change things in my life that make me unhappy. You're inspiration!

[@kck9742]

You CAN change things in your life that make you unhappy, at least a good many of them. Good luck.

[@Aorenai]

I have also recently split with my fiancé in a similar way. Even though it was my decision, it is so hard. It’s still quite raw and I spend a lot of time crying. The guilt is terrible, but I am trying to do the right thing. I look up to you, Auri, and your outlook on life. Thank you for being who you are.

[@brigetteedinborough9541]

“I want the freedom to do anything, even though I’m not really doing anything.” Aurii, you’ve done more things and traveled more places and helped more people than many do in their entire lives. It’s okay to realize your passion takes you and your partner in different directions. I wish that both of you have your dreams come true!❤

[@evelynmontez3565]

So I've watched hours of your videos. I saw an oil leak on cement outside. I squirted a lot of dish detergent on it and placed a lot of plastic wrap over it. It worked like a greasy oven! I put hot water on and scrubbed with a long handled brush, followed with paper towels. It worked!! Thank you!❤

[@pinkpeonygirl]

At first, it made me sad that you and Sami broke up, but then I realized you are right to fight for your soul path, to be the free spirit you want to be in your heart, and to set Sami free to find a girl who will thank her lucky stars to find a guy like him and want the same things in life. Hope you are both doing well.

[@AJTheYoung]

I can’t believe the amount of ppl that are JUDGING her for being open and explained the reason why she broke up. She clearly explain that they both want completely opposite things in life and she feels better ALONE. He probably loved her and didn’t want to end the relationship but what they would have done in 2-3 years when he wants kids and she didn’t ? Better sooner than better. The amount of ppl that want completely different things in life but stay together anyway ! I salute her courage and I wish Samy and her the best !

[@chantalturcotte4410]

Breakups are always hard and sad. But I think that you made a good decision for both of you. If you didn't feel good in a relationship right now it's better to separate and think of your happiness. You are a good influence on young girls and women out there who too often stay with their partners even if they are unhappy. You know what you want Auri and you're going after it! Congrats and may this new year bring you everything you wish for ❤

[@NoSpringChick138]

I just love how you said it just didn't feel right! Very much in touch with your feelings 💚

[@stephaniemajeski6857]

Stay true to yourself Auri. You are an inspiration to many. Breaking up with Sammy sounds like you set him free to meet someone who shares his vision in life,

[@ishwarilaughing6256]

Thank you for your bravery in sharing about your break up, there is so much stigma in women making decisions that are right for them, it gives me courage to continue to do so for myself ❣️

[@totowashere]

Your comments on your break up really moved me. I feel the same way. I like my freedom to do whatever I want. I don't want to do everything together. I want to be able to travel on a whim. Having a relationship now would just be unfair for the other person.

[@debbysouthworth5606]

So sorry about your break up. No matter what the circumstances, it's never easy to get over.

[@Join.The.Partee]

I am so sorry about your breakup, but I hope the two of you can find happiness and still be friends. Good work on your videos and cleaning. Wishing you the best.

[@mnrabbt]

In my life I’ve had the job of cleaner several times and always felt like I deserved to be doing something better and that it was beneath me to clean someone’s mess. But I knew at the core of it that I was doing a very important and valuable job. This confirms that it’s perhaps one of the most important, and transformative experiences one person can offer another. It clears up so much on the energetic level, not just the physical 🙏

[@kristinataddei8138]

I'm sooo proud of you, for being honest with yourself....much easier on everyone involved to "let things go" before taking a "big step"(like getting married, and then end up getting divorced).....

[@beatahandler2496]

My daughter had a three years relationship with her boyfriend/fiancé from Europe. They tried to live together during the summer in his country and he showed his true face. He was demanding, controlling, jealous that never came up before, because the short length of the time to spend together, or because he was too excited to be in the US. She broke up and feels the same excitement like you. She moved to a new apartment that was helping a lot to start a new life. I am so proud of both of you to be strong and wise. I had a great carrier, great friends, and I never wanted to be married after coming from a very dysfunctional and toxic family. When I met with my husband at age 27, I knew immediately that he is the one. You just feel it. We moved together after our first date, we were married in six months. We are still together after 27 years. Your break up was a meant to be. You are so amazing and you have such a positive energy, I believe you also find someone who really accepts you and loves you for who you are, unconditionally ❤️

[@PTE399]

Sorry about your relationship - stay strong! Your a great person and you deserve the best LOVE ❤️. Take care of yourself. ❤️🙏🏻🕊🕉

[@Beckyw10140]

I actually was wondering how you and Sami were. Your love for each other showed! It was better to let him know now instead of later. Sometimes people just change too! Hope your friendship stays strong and hope to see him helping you another time. It’s good you plan on doing what want now why you are still young! Can plan later on in life having a family where have the patience and not traveling so much. Stay strong both of you 🤍

[@roxydus3746]

I can totally understand why settling down and having a family is not on your list right now. You are young and you want to explore life. That’s as normal as wanting the opposite. So good luck to both of you ❤

[@ShellyCline]

Auri you're so brave. I'm the type to kind of just let things be. Even if they're far from ideal. You've set a great example for me that if something isn't working in my life, don't be so afraid to change it.

[@pamelabassi]

it was sweet how you spoke about the break up, Sami seems like a great guy, and is amazing that you learned more about you and understood that you two should go in different directions, it’s super mature to understand that even though you love the person and is a great person, it’s better to be in different directions in life. hope you two are well now ❤

I'm currently watching this from deep with in the African Congo me and my team are on a much needed five day rest back at base camp we have been studying some of the last known Gorillas on the planet stay safe out there guy's 👍

[@ginismoja2459]

That's so cool. Greetings from Bulgaria.

[@Smileybasma179]

Great to hear from home😊

[@fjklfdasdf]

good cell service

[@LadyAurora10]

How exciting! 🤩

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

What kind of gorillas are you studying and where?

[@Lashlove16]

So proud of you to do what was best . I broke up about 6 months ago and still have not told most ppl as it takes time to heal and process . You are a very sweet and kind person

[@lindabartoli8180]

I watch your videos regularly because they give me the motivation to clean my own house when I really, really don't want to do it. I shudder to think how dirty my house would be without you. 🐷 I set up a regular cleaning schedule, and your videos are the only thing that makes me stick to it.

[@Thestreetcorner661]

I always watch your videos when i need to clean my room. I suffer from mental Illness like a lot of the people you help. My bedroom gets pretty messy and disorganized often. Especially since im an artist so I have A LOT of stuff that i use on a semi-daily basis. But your videos always inspire me to put a load of laundry in or take out my trash or organize some of my stuff or fold my clothes. Sometimes its not much but other times i clean and organize my whole room! I definitely think its thanks to you showing me that im not the only person who struggles. It makes me feel a lot better and more inspired to help myself and help others when i can:) thank you from the bottom of my heart:)

[@mollybradshaw9336]

I was really intrigued to see how you dealt with a UK bathroom as they are so different to the ones you normally deal with....no floor drains. X

[@truthfullyme7416]

Right! Floor drains and the sprayers on hoses....genius!

[@nical396]

Glad you were able to be honest with him and let him go.

[@meghaffer]

I'm so sorry about the breakup. That must have been hard. I'm glad you're both able to have the opportunity to find even better lives now. And another great house cleaning

[@abbyolson1823]

Congratulations on such a profound and thoughtful decision! Please don't feel guilty, you've given both yourself and him the opportunity to find happiness. Enjoy your freedom! Do what you love.

[@nix_frostbite]

Thank you for opening up about your breakup. It sounds like it was for a good reason. You two just weren't compatible, and that's okay! It is much better not to try to force a relationship. Thank you for talking about it and helping to normalize ending a relationship that isn't compatible ♡ both people deserve to be happy and in a relationship that works for them.

[@xKitty13]

Auri, I'm so glad you made the best decision for YOU and YOUR mental health! Sami is a big boy. And if he cares for you, he will support you no matter what! Not everyone is a perfect match, even if we really really want it. To become a better version of ourselves, we have to face the hard truth sometimes, and it will hurt. I'm so proud of you, and of this mother for saving herself and her son from a violent partner! (My ex husband tried to kill me and my son twice, and I got away) ♥

[@alyssagarland480]

Sorry about the Breck up . Hope things get better for yourself. I love watching your videos cuz one day I didn't feel cleaning and then your video came up on my phone and then it motivated me to clean. So thank you for that. God bless you. Say safe.

[@ameliakeriece]

I'm just like you! Being in a relationship is fun, but I love my freedom more. There is just so much to see and do! My family thinks I'll be lonely if I stay single but I really love being alone! It's nice to get up and go anywhere for as long as you like (or even stay home) without worrying about whether you're making someone else happy

[@Nenona1200]

You have taught me so much about cleaning, I think of you every time I use a microfiber cloth to get up dust and do the folds. Sorry to hear about your breakup. I always appreciate how compassionate you are towards people who need help.

[@modickinson5033]

You have such a generous spirit. The breakup was done for all the right reasons. Don't feel any guilt you have to follow your dreams. Those dreams are to spread your wings and explore. Fly like a bird and be very happy. I love following you and seeing the amazing results that you get and how wonderful the house or homes look. xx

[@ericafey5507]

I am so glad that you were able to set yourself free! I had a very similar relationship and I completely understand your reasoning. The relationship doesn’t have to be ‘bad’ to be bad for you. I think in these situations the guilt can be overwhelming but you can only control yourself and how you handle it. You have to trust yourself and your instincts. Sending you so much love for this next chapter of your life. You’re truly and inspiration and I look forward to your videos every week. Much love 💕

[@FrolleinMayer]

I feel the same way about personal freedom and relationships - it's not how most people lead their lifes, but since I made the decision 6 years ago I have been happier than ever before. Trust your guts, Auri ❤️, you rock!

[@julierenshaw3090]

It’s refreshing to hear about a healthy break up. Good luck to you and Sammi❤

[@victoriakr.0911]

Giving someone its freedom back because you feel deep down that it's the right thing to do ask bravery and a lot of love! The most important is that both of you are feeling good about it !

[@ilnacastelyn6310]

Amazing transformation! I'm so sad about the breakup, but you showed maturity it the whole process. When something doesn't feel right, have the courage to walk away. Live your dream while you're still young. Good luck for the future to both of you

[@louisec9213]

Thank you for your videos, those give me strength when I just want to give up and cry, I’m actually helping my mum to clean her appartement after more than 20 years without cleaning anything and try to throw away 40 years of bad souvenirs/ furnitures / useless stuff of my abusive father, it’s a really long process and she could not do it by her own, I’m exhausted but I have to do it for her and for my baby son who could not visiting her because her place is too dirty for, thank you for helping those people, you are an angel !!

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

Great job and yes people sometimes lose themselves in depression and it's not easy to get out of it. Everything in there lives is impacted. Blessings to them and your helping hand's. 💛

[@kawaii_possum3587]

I think its very admirable to realise that you are not the right person for someone and they are not right for you. There doesnt always have to be anything wrong or bad in the relationship to break up. You both wanted different things and thats okay. Its hard but you made the right decision for you. Sending love x

[@bettyveronica9880]

You are such a beautiful person, inside and out! 💖 I’m glad there was no drama, and you are smart to realize that sometimes the best decisions can be painful to our heart, but will be rewarding for (all involved) in the long run. I wish more people had that introspection and understanding of self love as you do, Auri. 🌸💕 Often, young people get too wrapped up with what they think society expects of them, and rather than be true to themselves, they do what they (think) they’re supposed to do instead of what is in their heart; their authenticity in life decisions. I’m glad you and Sami are on good terms. 😊

[@tweedledew]

You clean happily no matter how impossible everything to clean here & you do your best, and that boost my courage to also clean my home. Thanks, Auri!

[@HuntsASMR]

What a kind soul❤ I love how you shared this vulnerable part of your life with us. Hearing your story has helped me out a lot as I also just ended things with my partner of two years. I feel many emotions but I know it was the right decision. It’s nice to know we aren’t alone.
