DITL | How I Decluttered My Makeup Collection and Organized My Office

[@AngelaMarton-s7n]

I find the best storage from Kmart are the bamboo or plastic ones with no dividers. Thanks for sharing your declutter.

[@Deborahafter50]

Thanks Angela, yes after having explored the storage solutions with the dividers I agree with you, the bamboo and the plastic ones with no divers are best. Thank you for sharing your experience and your support of this community 😚😚

Yeah decluttering feels so good. This year I've been slowly doing it myself. Clothes have all gone to the second hand stores but I also recustomised a lot of them - let them out, made them shorter or longer - or made bags and cushions out of them. Old jumpers were 'frogged" (rip it) and the yarn reused for other knitting and crochet projects. I also had TONS of books. I sold many of them on eBay which has been really good for passive income (mainly business and reference texts). I've also gone through a massive shredding process where I got rid of much of my paperwork through the years. Makeup and moisturisers streamlined to the bare essentials. Still, though, it's so easy to accrue a lot of things....omg I still have so much to get through. It's been comforting to watch you go through it all too - inspiring me to just make more time for it. Thanks again!!

Hi Helen 😍 Wow, you've done an incredible job with your decluttering journey! It's inspiring to hear how you've repurposed your clothes, turned old jumpers into new projects, I was just thinking about that earlier today with one of the jumpers I ended up keeping for a cushion, I was thinking the pattern was not quite right and if I repurposed the wool I could knit a more simple one. It must have made such a positive difference in your space and peace of mind to declutter everything. I totally relate to how easy it is to accumulate things, but your dedication is truly motivating. Keep up the amazing work-you’re making fantastic progress! Thanks again for sharing your experience! ❤️ 😚😚

You are inspiring me to clean out my drawers. I LOVE shopping and accumulate so much stuff so quickly. Coming from a large family I always ask family members if they want/need anything before I donate or dispose of anything. Helps me from feeling “guilty” over my shopping addiction 😂. ❤️

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi lovely 😊Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! I'm thrilled to hear that you're feeling inspired to clean out your drawers. Involving your family in the process is such a wonderful idea-it really helps make decluttering a positive and guilt-free experience. 😂❤️ Keep up the fantastic work. Thanks for being part of our community!😚😚

Hi Deborah thank you for the video. I done exactly the same thing the other day cleaned out my make up draw. Thru out m asked up I had for awhile but it felt good once I had finished. It marvelous how you accumulate things. Thanks Deborah for inspiring us to have these clean up days.

[@Deborahafter50]

Great job spring cleaning! I did a wardrobe reset recently and it felt so good! I now know exactly what I have and wear those things more often because I can actually see what I’ve got! Ha! 🤭 The shredded paper, cardboard boxes and tissue paper make excellent cat toys!! My cat goes crazy pouncing and hiding. She’ll be in her element on Christmas Day! 😂 Love the layout of your makeup drawers. The container for your brushes looks so handy! Great idea! Don’t worry, I go for mostly brown eyeshadows too! I think the new palette you have is fine for summer. The sparkles will be great for Christmas and New Year events. At the moment I’m enjoying eyeshadow palettes from Sportsgirl. They are very affordable and have some fun unexpected colours.

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi lovely 😊 Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear your wardrobe reset was a success-it really makes a difference! 🧹✨ And it's adorable that your cat loves the shredded paper and boxes for play! 🐱😂 I'm glad you love the layout of my makeup drawers and the brush container-it really helps keep everything organized. So far it's going quite well 🤞 as long as I don;t keep adding anything to it 😆 Brown eyeshadows are so versatile. the Sportsgirl palettes are fantastic with those fun, unexpected colors! You can't beat being able to add new fun colours without spending a bomb. Thanks for sharing and supporting my channel I truly am grateful 😚😚

[@marciapattison4049]

Your funny 😂. Love watching you organise. I need to do that as well. Can’t find a thing. Tend to use the same things over cos it’s too hard to organise 🤔

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi Marcia! 😊 Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy watching me organize. Starting small can really help-you're doing great! ❤️ 😚😚

[@PollyHartland]

[@PatriciaMegna]

@@Deborahafter50 yes,in fact I have more to do.

[@tanmaree1290]

Now deb u know it won't stay like that 😂😂😂 ❤and hugs from the mallee Victoria xxx

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi lovely 😂 Absolutely - keeping things organized can be a challenge, it certainly doesn't help that I like playing with new things all the time 😆Thanks for watching and sending hugs from Mallee Victoria! ❤️ 😚😚

[@chanteldafonseca835]

Hi Deborah, have you heard of Remote Op Shop, you can send all kind of good conidtion items to remote communities. I had recently sent two extra large satchels to WA.

[@Deborahafter50]

Thank you Chantel, no I hadn't. Thank you so much for sharing it to our community, I'm sure many like me will look into it 😚😚

[@juliekopcheff1709]

You can donate any brand if it is in good condition and clean! True charity shops will appreciate your donation. I work in my church opshop and we appreciate all good condition clothing. Cheers Julie

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi Julie! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your valuable insights! It’s wonderful to hear about your experience working at your church’s op-shop and how much you appreciate donations in good condition. I’ll definitely keep that in mind when decluttering. Cheers to you too, and thanks again for your support ❤️ xx

[@Janieblueyes]

I bag up my donations, put them in my boot and then drive them around for six months 😒🫢😉😂🐨💗

[@Deborahafter50]

LOL, don't tell anyone but that happens to me too 😆😆

[@bronwyn3568]

Also some make up items expire too Yes tired one area and find more areas to do. Never ending!! 😂😅 Yes clear mind too 😂😅

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi Bronwyn! 😊 I totally understand what you mean-decluttering really is a never-ending journey! 😂😅 But every little bit you do makes such a difference. I'm really bad with expired makeup, unless it looks off or smells off I keep it 😱😆😆

[@bronwyn3568]

@Deborahafter50 same with me too.

[@bronwyn3568]

Hard to know where to pit them in, swap and change until it works for yourself..probably change a dozen times 😅😊😂

[@Deborahafter50]

LOL yes, I keep buying different shapes and sizes until I find the perfect fit for now 😆 but then I stop putting things back properly and then it gets overwhelming again. But so far this new set up has been working🤞😚😚

[@bronwyn3568]

@Deborahafter50 we sound alike in many ways. Feel great when organised and feel like we achieve too

[@Angelahappyat60]

Clothing

[@Deborahafter50]

Hehe I knew what you meant - autocorrect 😉

[@Angelahappyat60]

It wouldn’t be your closing from Kmart that they don’t It’s all the rubbish clothing that should be tossed in the bin that they don’t want Your closing is in great condition and clean. I’d send it to the charity shop. Somebody will buy it.

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi Angela! 😊Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I’m glad to hear that you think the clothes I'm decluttering are in great condition! You're absolutely right-donating usable clothes to charity shops is a wonderful way to give them a second life and help others. I really appreciate your suggestion and agree that it's important to support these initiatives instead of throwing things away. Thank you for watching and sharing your insights! ❤️ 😚😚

[@italiangirl76]

Not suprised to hear salvo etc are bombarded with anko and temu clothes. Kmart clothes and temu are so cheap, look cheap and im not a fan, id rather buy quality

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi lovely 😍 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I totally understand it’s all about finding the right balance that works for you 😚😚

[@charmsmith4278]

Maybe stop buying so much,I stopped with the unnecessary.

[@Deborahafter50]

Hi lovely, Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and support. I completely understand the desire to stop buying unnecessary items-it's a journey we're all on! I'm glad to hear you've made that decision, and I hope my video inspired you to continue decluttering. Thanks again for watching and being a part of our community. ❤️ xx
