Your doing great 🎉 We have a rule in our house that was implemented back 15 yrs ago. One in-One out. Our closets never grow in size, just quality. We are hard core with it. As soon as we come home from shopping, we immediately get rid of the quantity we are bringing in. Works like a charm.

[@jendaldo2308]

We do that too!

[@tizb5178]

Me too!

[@kimberlyb844]

Love this new direction you’re going in. I love to see a good haul video, but I love decluttering even more. You’re combining reselling and decluttering content and that makes my heart so happy! Keep up the awesome work! You’re doing great with this!

[@susanferris]

I appreciate your transparency. I just moved from a 3000 sq ft house to a 1800 sq ft condo. It took me almost a year to purge 30 years worth of accumulation but I did it and it feels good. Now, I am doing my second round of purging and that feels even better. I don’t want to continue to carry around all this stuff! The work is hard but so worth it. Tina is worth her weight in gold!

[@deborahcostello8214]

Moved into a new house almost 3 years ago (we had downsized and had to upsize to bring my 91 year old mother to live with us) and I only organized about 85% of most rooms even though there is room for everything. I have been so depressed by the clutter and lack of organization and you are inspiring me to peel my onions as well. Thanks for being so transparent.

[@dinnerpartyp3007]

Lori! Thank you for your candor and inspiration! Last year we moved from Atlanta to Portugal and I had to liquidate my reseller closet and now we are moving back to the states and I realized we brought stuff with us that we had no reason to ship across the pond. I stopped this video midway and went to my bathroom closet and completely cleaned out all the stuff I'm not using. I appreciate you! xoxox

[@JewelsNcrime]

I hit a point in my life when I realized I was buying way more than what I could even sell. I would find myself feeling so overwhelmed and I would give away tons of my inventory to another reseller ( vendor). Truth is i wasn't a reseller I was just selling so I could support my sourcing addiction, endless nights within a few months span i would clog up my phone with nearly 7000 photos of stuff I aspire to list. It became like a game of esteem just listing stuff to see the attention the item would bring , I was addicted to the curiosity. At this point it's entertainment for me. Your content is inspiring and real.

[@empty_my_hanger]

Decluttering as a reseller is hard because in my mind, “I can list that!” I have been out of reselling until just recently. Life happened with in-laws and I stopped a few years back. I’m more picky now with what I’m picking up. I am going to continue decluttering personal item with you and boy it’s hard!

[@kristinemendez8113]

I have followed you for a few years and love how relatable you've always been. Thank you for letting us see so much of your life, you are an inspiration Lori.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Oh my goodness Kristine! Thank you! ❤️❤️ I love our community here. I hope we all inspire each other to stay on this path. You actually all inspire me!! Much love and appreciation! 😘

[@terizolman5097]

Lori you are doing great. I have decluttered a lot in the last few years. I am like you I question my decisions. A little hint. Keep a donation box or bin in each room while you are doing this. It is much easy to just put it in a box then take it to another room. Also take stuff out of house asap. If you are running a errand take the donations you have out. You will do this. You are the right track.

[@katiecahill4344]

Love this video and your process! Keeps me motivated to go thru all my closets as well! We always had a spare bedroom where I would just put things I didn't know what to do with and finally decided to make it into a nursery for our first grandchild so I had to go thru everything and it was awesome and so freeing once it was done! Keep up the great work!

[@SafariStitches]

It's amazing to see your process! I just started going through this purging process recently as well in my personal life and in my reselling business, so it's nice to know someone else is going through this as well! I wish I was documenting my purge just to see the transformation process. Can't wait to see future videos of your process!

[@skygods89ify]

I like that, "taking a bucket of sand off the beach" that's a good one

[@ritamady5040]

Loving this series Lori!! You are doing fabulous job everyone could use a little decluttering in their life!

[@atingen1]

Love this…I share the same gray area frame of mind. I have so much personal clutter and reseller clutter. I am so unorganized with a huge death pile. I enjoy thrifting time with my mom so even though I don’t need to purchase I go and when you go, you are going to buy. When I try to sort to purge, I talk myself into keeping things. I am trying to set a rule, if I am struggling to get rid of something, use it or wear it and see how you feel…don’t just look at it. For example, I have a pair of hot pink capri jeans that are really pretty for spring and summer. I love the idea of them so it is easy to convince myself to keep them. I have never worn them, put them on and then switch to wear something else. These pretty jeans are just hanging out in my closet taking up valuable space. I forced myself to wear them out to dinner last night. They didn’t fit as well as I would like, felt a little baggy through the thighs. Didn’t really love the outfit I had put together, not feeling my best self but I said I was going to wear them so I did. Of course while out, we ran into some old friends we hadn’t seen in awhile and I was wishing that I had not worn this outfit. This experience helped me let go of these pretty pink jeans. I was in love with the item itself and ignoring how they fit my body and made me feel. The same with jewelry. I am going to wear those heavy earrings and at the end of the day when my ears are hurting, I’m going to get rid of them while the pain is fresh!😂 Thank you for sharing your journey, will continue to watch for more inspiration to purge and organize myself!

[@restylesecrets8251]

You inspire me to go through my storage area of outdoor coats and jackets, heavy blazers, etc - things not stored in bins. Wanted to be ready to source new winter items. I relisted, and donated, and sold 3 things within a few days. I now have twice as much space, but find myself extremely reluctant to bring anything home in that category unless it's a total 5-star winner guaranteed sure thing. LOL. Thanks for the motivation, sweetie.

[@wellarmedwife166]

great progress !! We were minimalist for ease for years when husband was Army..less to pack, less to figure out if it would fit. Once we got home...it was tempting to accumulate...but it made me insane to see stuff...We knew my parents "collected" stuff..its hard to call it hoarding when its Harley Davidsons, pew pews, lead etc...but at one point my dad took us to his "shed" and we were overwhelmed. He passed almost two years ago...still havnt sorted through most... Mama has way more stuff, crafts, collections, Ive slowly got her to purge...but..I dread the day. I think, honestly, that is why we stay so minimal as to NOT leave it to our boys and grands....Ive minimalized my posh closet, closed my ebay store...if it wont sell in 6 months I dont buy it (except the stuff I get specifically for platos and clothes mentor).. Its a big job....youll get it done

[@skygods89ify]

You've been such an inspiration! I've probably donated over 26 bags, I've re listed about 20 items so far. So happy to be on this journey with you❤

[@tracyjulian3875]

This is amazing to see you do. It's so wonderful to see the directions your taking

[@mindystahl7701]

Fantastic progress!

[@mbstyles615]

Lumpy cracked me up throughout the entire video 😂 thanks for including clips of him. Also wanted to say that you’re doing a great job!! The hardest part is starting and you already did that!! Cant wait to keep watching your journey!

[@marshaleemitchell2768]

Lori I have decided to join you on this mission and my anxiety is in overdrive seeing all my stuff is insane. Donating not even selling because I might end up putting back in my closet.

[@mirandacamp4222]

Such a good start! I wish I had your motivation. I will get there one day! Also, thank you for showing the realistic side to reselling.

[@kaseys7433]

Another tip from me since I’ve been down this road with my costume jewelry. I bought hanging jewelry organizers on Amazon. They are affordable and have clear pouches. I can now find all my fun jewelry and am able to showcase my nicer items in a tray.

[@Continualtrends]

love this series! Currently doing something similar as we are looking into moving and trying to figure out which décor I really love and what I don't need! doing one room at a time

[@Eloquencce]

I’m in the process of moving across the country and got my inventory this month down from 350 items to maybe 40. I had to “onion peel” too, it was sooo overwhelming but totally worth it! Only gave three totes of inventory to the movers. Can’t wait to start over.

[@carolheringer5513]

I’m right there with you! AG stuff too. I’m setting goals with you. Let’s go forward together.

[@SuperBrowndog1]

I'm getting ready to have HUGE yard sale and get rid of all inventory that hasn't sold. If I can recoup at least what I spent on items, I'll be happy. I live in a community where people come from miles around when we have yard/garage/estate sales. I'm going to start by separating those items from the rest. I'm going to keep my inventory very small, less than 200 items and only buy what I know will sell quickly.

[@elizabethkoepplinger3264]

Loving this new series of videos! Purging and decluttering is SO good for the soul. LOVE the overalls on you!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Yay! Thank you Elizabeth! I'm really enjoying the process!

[@staceybeuster2057]

Lori, this is so great you are doing this. Being a reseller is so fun but it can get overwhelming so quickly. Thank you for your content and continuing to keep it real :) And shout-out to Tina--what a great person to have helping you!

[@emiliec8466]

I love this style!! I love to declutter and organize so this is so fun to me!

[@LorisBostonFound]

I'm so glad!

[@glorianelson9538]

You are on the right track Lori and doing a great job. Clutter is my enemy, and I am constantly getting rid of stuff. The idea mentioned below of bringing a bag with you for collecting things for donations is excellent. Keep up the good work! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@mnikcd123]

I love the changes!! When u mentioned how some styles age you, I found that true too!

[@Circathen3]

You inspire me to tackle my clothes.

[@cyndimanka]

I also have things that are over 20 years old even 30 that I love to wear that are so comfortable. I would never wear them in public. But they are so comfortable at home. Very hard to throw away.

[@LorisBostonFound]

It's hard to let go of anything comfortable! lol!

[@hollyparmenter6925]

So proud of you Lori! Loving all the content, and especially Lumpy! ❤

[@kathrynprescher1271]

We ALL need a Tina!

[@jlrlola]

Honestly even your donated stuff is good! Before it goes to savers, trying taking it to Plato's to see if they'll take anything so you can make some money back!

[@caroljurak8899]

Lori, you are such an encouragement to me, you will never know. Thank you!!

[@kathleenproctor5207]

Congratulations on this beginning! I think you were smart to stop with the jewelry and go to your pajama drawer. I always think that a smaller task completed gives you a boost for the next task whereas an up completed big task can really drag your progress. So I would break your jewelry down to smaller tasks. Earrings one day, bread let’s the next, necklaces on the third. Maybe you should do a No thrift October, while you organize your house and sort through your scruff. If today is any indication you will have plenty to list without shopping. Really excellent start!

[@ronda2729]

I use to resell my old clothes but it was too much of a cluttered mess so I started donating to get rid of all the stuff

[@jwoolleymn]

This video was so great! I need to do decluttering everywhere and you are my inspiration. Good for you. Keep it up. ❤️

[@sonjacarr3921]

I started the declutter and my 18 month retirement plan of having a home base resale business, thank you for sharing your journey.

[@sheilafrye2803]

This is so motivating! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@snoboutloud]

I started following The Minimal Mom about 6 months ago when I was trying to declutter my inventory so that my second baby can have his own bedroom. I learned so much from her and still decluttering now that my kids are going to start school soon. It’s liberating to know that I can let go of things and getting my life back. Can’t wait to see more of your upcoming decluttering videos.

[@LorisBostonFound]

She's really great! I find that keeping those videos on while I'm decluttering really helps me! Keep up the great work!

[@annapower9799]

Love this video series Lori!! I’ve resonated with Swedish Death cleaning and it has been a real motivator for me. And its a work in progress. Never finished - at least for me. Stick with it Lori. Can’t wait to see the transformation.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you Anna! I watched my first episode in that series and I loved it! I have a long road ahead but it already feels worth the effort!

[@finnegan517]

I prefer really soft material for sleeping in, but for some reason I also really like the ribbed tanks from Wm - 8 colors!

[@melindam8868]

Oh my gosh. I am the same way with a pair of black pants that I sleep in/ wear around the house. They have holes in them but I can’t part with them! And they are just a Kohls brand. I think some people would be shocked that I sell clothes based on what I actually wear! 😂

[@Wanderedinto]

Hey Lori, Home Depot has small wire racks for around 70 that would fit in your closet, easy to assemble and it will provide air flow

[@LorisBostonFound]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@bethb7965]

Thx to you I've started to fill one big trash bag of 'to be donated'(am not a reseller). Love that YAWN shirt you're donating! I went through pj's and purged anything flannel. Even on the coldest of nights I get too warm in it. I usually wear big tees or nightshirts. ❤ to you and scratchies to sweet Lumpy ‼️🐾🐾

[@amandacasillas-gallegos5835]

Lori, my sincere condolences. I say your video Arevresellers over consumers? And i know exactly what you are going through!! My only exception is that at the time my father passed away, my husband and i werevliving with him and as he had his house on a reverse mortgage we had 2 months to move everything out of a 2,000 space home. Literally everything. I even remember how hard it was for me to let go of a red velvet bar with 4 chairs that cost about $2,500 from Mexico. I sold it for $250 firm. But moving everything to my mobile home in another town was torture and i still have about 75% of those boxes unpacked yet. Watching your videos have become my lifesaver (flavor Cherry) in my world to encourage me to sell several items, donate, and just throw away to declutter my life. Change is happening a little at a time and some days it does become unbearable. But i go to youtube and watch your decluttering and i keep feeling there is HOPE! And a LIGHT at the END of the TUNNEL!! Thank you!! Sincerely Amanda Casillas-Gallegos Natalia, Texas

[@Bellamiashops4u]

Totally inspiring Lori! I am doing the same ;) I look forward to the journey ❤ Bella 💞

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

I'm itching all over looking at your basement! I just want to dig in and organize😅. You're doing a great job. One suggestion is try to donate more, at least of your private stuff. Just kick it out of your house! Also look up if there's a women's shelter or something of that nature that you might enjoy more donating to. Then it's not a failure that you bought it and now give it up, it is actually helping someone. I hope you will keep up the good work, it's a massive undertaking!

[@Peonydream]

Great Job! This is inspiring me to get back on track and consistent too.

[@luxedoll166]

Hahaha , I love my gap body pants too, I have 3 sets and I only wear those , they have holes and I couldn’t find them anymore so I will wear them until they disintegrate. We are crazy but we like what we like.

[@bethbaker5696]

Bless your heart for sharing this journey with us. Small victories with what you showed in this video and it’s the best way to start. I’m going through this right now. We moved in with my MIL to care for her and I’ve had a storage unit for 5 years. Box by box, I’m going through to see what I don’t really need. 🥰

[@ciaobelladg8663]

The blouse looks nice on you😊

[@shelleysue4488]

Always beautiful to see a “leveling up” 😍👍🏼

[@JamieAmos]

Love this video! I need to dive deep into my mess and do the same. I always laugh when you ask Lumpy what he's chewing because that's me and my dog 24/7 lmao

[@CurliesCuriosites]

I hope you take pics or show us everything that you are donated that would be a great visual!

[@mindyussery5517]

You are doing so great!!!!

[@christineprescott2417]

You are inspiring me to be more selective with pick ups...and I am following suit with closet/drawer clean out. 👏 Bravo Lori!

[@nedracrouse8125]

You are motivating me Lori. I have such a big death pile and every week I take a carload to donate. It had been so overwhelming that I just didnt do anything. I finally have made a dent and it feels so good. Like you, I found Doc Martens etc in my shoe bins. Craziness.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Both of us had hidden Doc Martens! How crazy! Keep up the great work!

[@heathermoore2472]

Great job Lori! Keep up the thrifting at home!!!!

[@karencurry6777]

I was motivated to donate ALOT of plush. Awesome feeling!

[@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765]

Amazon has inexpensive shoe racks on wheels which allow you to see what you have. Might allow you to reuse the nice boxes for something else

[@LorisBostonFound]

I'll check those out! Thank you! The wheels part is appealing!

[@suereynolds2980]

Love Dawn the minimal mom too

[@sarkaha3679]

Great job Lori , it’s going to make your life so much easier, I love to be organized,you’ll get there, when I was in Europe this summer and my husband did my shopping and I new pretty much where easy order was , he was so impressed and I was making money when visiting my family, love your top and Lumpy Sarka

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you!

[@trudymorris9981]

You are doing great. I have my master bathroom next on my list to declutter. Lots of old makeup and hair products. Phew!

[@roxannecigainero6954]

Thanks for the advice and the hints to get junk out of my life. I am so ready.😊

[@Myfairgirlie]

I’m with you in this journey, Lori! We are both doing great! We both keep up the good work! 💕🥰

[@Tkyle5127]

I LOVE Lumpy 🐾

[@jlm1254]

I am loving this series! You are doing a great job!

[@kahtytemple2570]

I love this video! You are fabulous! So honest and forthcoming. I am the opposite of you - a very small reseller, more of a hobby, and bit of a crazy purger. Very little excess. Most of my friends are much more like you and I'm always fascinated by why some of us keep stuff and some of us don't. I have very little sentimental attachment to anything. Makes me sound heartless, but I'm really not! LOL!! Love this series!! xo Cathy

[@yvettefeliciano5226]

Thanks for charging, sending blessings 🙏🏻✨💫

[@theteenreseller]

Amazing job! I need to go through my bins to make sure everything is listed! I can already see lots of progress to your reselling room! Lumpy is getting bigger and he needs more room! Great video!

[@davidmiller800]

As a Hampton Beach girl you are inspiring me. Love the bucket of sand. Daves wife.

[@thecrafticlesofyarnia]

Not going to lie, but I'm exactly like Lumpy getting up in the morning. Thank you for sharing your journey. It's so inspirational. (Currently side-eyeing my downsized scrapbooking collection - i haven't opened that cupboard since we moved in two years ago.)

[@tara1638]

Lori this is super helpful!!

[@gabrielavilchis2678]

It’s hard to begin but once you start is great. Me I started one drawer and one cupboard at a time and it feels already better. Still work to do 😌

[@LorisBostonFound]

Yes! Every small space cleared is a victory!

[@FreshBeehive]

youre doing great, Lori! Keep it up!!!!

[@foreverafter7279]

Great job! 👏 Thank you for the motivation!! 😃

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@susanbartlett5797]

I LOVE that top!

[@dandelionDub]

This is great, I love this series! Purge and declutter and then let's go shopping again 😂❤🎉

[@TXLC7109]

Thank you Lori, I so needed this video. ❤ And a Tina!

[@theuniqueredhead1205]

I have been doing the same thing this month. You have been me some more motivation. I will take this journey with you. Thanks

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you! We will continue to motivate each other through this process!

[@lifeinlayers717]

Try straight acetone on the paint on the skims.

[@halfzipped6873]

Lori this is fascinating and inspiring to watch. Looking forward to the journey. Congrats on the closet success and getting the unlisted listed! ❤

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you so much!

[@halfzipped6873]

Seriously you inspire so many of us ! Thank you for the effort you put in to connect with those of us

[@halfzipped6873]

Who follow you

[@SusanGFoxyMama]

I proud of you! It is hard to let go of clutter but it will be so much less stressful when things level out.

[@quinseaj]

LORIIII I love this video!! I’m so so proud and happy for you. This was incredible work 🎉

[@karencurry6777]

Boy this is so helpful to me. I really appreciate the motivation!

[@leighpage2591]

Love your top!

[@marilynegli4523]

suggestion: put all the jewelry you want to get rid of in a large baggie and list 1 item. crafters may be interested in it.

[@TheCaterer2010]

the VS pajamas actually sell really well for me on poshmark

[@angelv527]

Awesome update keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Love this so, so much. Thank you for sharing!

[@juliehinck4340]

I’m joining u on this journey and decluttering!

[@christine3358]

Great start! Tomorrow I’m going to tackle one area, not sure which yet 😉

[@skygods89ify]

Oh God, I have to go thru my boots, shoes and bags next week ugh ugh ugh

[@janemahan2663]

You are going to see the other side of the mountain. Lori!
