Downsizing Home Vlog + Closet Tour

[@StarseedGirl818]

The squirrel is the cutest most beautiful thing ever. Not everyone can bond with nature that way 💕 thanks for taking care of her

[@mcgaugh57]

Feed them a peanut and you have a friend for life.

[@staceykersting705]

Squirrels will eat out of your hand...easily bribed by nuts..

[@lady_sonder]

The sweetest thing I've seen today

[@alexab2016]

Awww, you’re so lucky, what an adorable house guest. Thank you for being kind to all living things 🤗❤️

[@Bianca.Roxana]

Oh my god i'm crying!! The Agouti is sooo cute! Please never stop feeding her & caring for her, no matter how judgemental some people will be! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@onestrangeanimal3212]

The Agouti is so adorable! I love interspecies relationships in which wild animals bond with humans while remaining free. Your home is so bright and harmonious. Love it.

[@txspacemom765]

I went and bought just all white and black paint, repainted what I wanted to keep, did all the walls in white, updated some hardware in the kitchen and added some new lighting and I love it! I purged over 65% of my closet and about 50% of what we had in the house. It's great now! Love it!

[@mongalix8]

I subscribed to your channel when you were doing makeup and had about 15k subscibers.I love how you have evolved, and how you don't allow social media or societal pressure to stop you from creating and living the life you love, and one that works for you. You are inspirational.

[@VeganGroceryLife]

Yep, I subscribed so long ago but as she changed I did as well. So, the content is always helpful to me. I am not into plants like she is but I do have three plants I care for. Always such good videos!

[@Kuromichi08]

You’re such a sweet person for taking care of that lovely squirrel!! She’s so cute!! 🥺🧡

[@sbazeghi]

Honest question: if you ever have to go to a wedding, funeral or event and need a dress, what do you wear? Do you have one dress you always wear? Borrow, rent, thrift? What about shoes? Just curious.

[@goddess131]

for myself, I'm trying to see if Rent the Runway would work, I haven't tried them yet, but I'm trying to see if other clothing rental options are out there, so that I don't ever have to buy anything I'm only going to use for a one time event.

[@camillemccraw]

@@goddess131 my friend rented one and looked gorgeous

[@bluecollarlit]

In Sue Grafton's alphabet mystery novels, the main character has one "all-purpose dress." Your comment just reminded me of that!

[@mrsrae3388]

I wondered about that too.

[@lck21]

Your kindness is a blessing to all that you touch. Continue to inspire and teach!

[@Lenalena87329]

You guys are awesome! No judgement. We have a 3 legged dear that we feed and he sits in our garden sleeping. When he's ready, he heads off. We love him!

[@foodanon6568]

Oh wow, I was not expecting the squirrel! How special!! Thank you so much for sharing that with us 🥰

[@ciara2766]

Your little squirrel friend is so precious!! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with connecting with wildlife, especially where she clearly just comes by for a visit and then goes about her day!

[@sayuriisme9728]

I wanted to be apprehensive about the squirrel coming indoors but it’s just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen🥰

[@shannoncarr7338]

its ook

[@aliblue3605]

Same, She just needs to be careful that it doesn’t destroy the house. Especially being a rental house.

[@olivesp]

The sweetie squirrel baby doll was the best surprise ever. Coexisting and taking care of each other is how it should be. I enjoyed that thoroughly! xx

[@chelsea7229]

The way she waltzed right in was EVERYTHING😂 The best thing I’ve seen all week!

[@susanchaney5059]

Yes, thank you for helping the little fur ball. What a cutie.

[@amyskelton]

I love that you have the squirrel come inside! I would do the same thing. Thank you for being so kind!! ❤️

[@starchild7777]

Wow so happy to have found your channel again I haven’t seen a video of your in About 6 /7 years so much has changed in my life I was sick for the last three years almost lost my life in ICU last year . Being back home now I just want to get rid of everything I don’t need and live a much simpler life . My goal ever day Is to get rid of at least 1 thing so i won’t get overwhelmed, but I love organizing rearranging a room moving things around it bring me a lot of joy and peace. I like changing things at least 1 a month. I found your videos again in a perfect time in my life. Going to binge watch your videos now peace and love

[@NaturallyGifted77]

I agree with you on the clothes. I do not have a lot of clothes myself. I only wear neutrals especially black is my go to color.

[@nata.250]

This made my heart glow ❤️ It’s a testament of your kind, caring soul she picked your home and trusts you 🐿

[@Kate42]

Christine, you have really inspired me with your downsizing. You have always done these sorts of videos before but this one was particularly more inspiring than ever. I have been doing the same thing in my life. One day I just had had enough. So like you, I have done this before but this time it's permanent. I am continually going through my home now and really purging. So, could you possibly make more videos about purging and downsizing? It is really helpful and of course, I love to see the results when you show us the rooms that you purge. Thank you so much for your words of wisdom when it comes to this topic of downsizing.

[@EvaCZE08]

I agree, they are very inspiring. Especially the closet declutters and organizations!

[@kristinburton4953]

You could purge the need to have someone show you how to be and how to think and how to store things.

[@sharynmccormick8172]

@@kristinburton4953 I hardly ever watch Christine anymore so I'm a little late with this comment but that's an interesting comment you made and very true when you think about it.

[@xodezi]

The little squirrel is the cutest!!! Please show her to us more :)

[@staceykersting705]

I live in $7 T-shirts. Most of them last quite a while. Thrift stores are full of fleece tops by Columbia and North Face for under $10. I got 3 bell bottom leggings for under $25. I get lots of compliments on them.

[@whomadethewordword5035]

I water my basil plant daily. If you cut the tops of the plant to encourage it to bush out, place the cuttings in a window and in a week or so you’ll have cuttings with a lot of roots that can be planted directly into a pot of soil.

[@jacintaugarte5672]

Oh Christine! Of course I understand ! What a wonderful thing to do ! That little animal is dependent on you and I think it's so good of you to treat it like you do

[@LindseysLovies]

I love that you take care of the squirrel! I have one that runs across my window screen several times each day and I feed him too! I’m going to try giving him cherries now after seeing this lol

[@LoriBeth428]

The squirrel is the best thing I have ever seen! You made my day xo

[@christinekobzeff]

Aww thanks Lori Beth! xo

[@adelinam7839]

Thank you for sharing little Agouti with us - this totally made my day 🥰🥰🥰

I was a subscriber to you when you had a few 1,000 subscribers you have come a long way very happy for you. You get to live the life you want to do that’s a dream come true

[@Natalies_Page_Turners]

I love the squirrel baby!! She is so so cute!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@missk4934]

Having a squirrel 🐿 friend visit for lunch every day would be an absolute DREAM!!!! Thanks for sharing💗

[@cheekyllamacreations]

I already watched this video in September but just had to come back and watch that adorable squirrel again 🐿

[@BitsOfThisNThat]

I'm so glad you posted something different this time. I'm not a plant lover and I don't watch any of those. Loved the squirrel.

[@livclem]

This is the best video I’ve ever seen!! I love squirrels so much!!!

[@mineolas]

It’s inspiring to see people declutter their house and not in a massive way. We can feel it has been well thought 🙌🏻. I am going through the same at the moment. Rethinking what I want to keep, what really brings me joy. I really enjoyed this video 🙌🏻💕 thank you

[@cactusbound]

The squirrel is adorable but I don’t think I’d want it in the house. I haven’t visited your site in quite a long time. I’m blown away at your closet! I can remember how you used to fold all of your clothes and put them in drawers. You had a lot of jeans and shorts and a ton of makeup and nail polish. Your dresser that you painted was your pride and joy. And your vanity was beautiful with all your special things on it. You’ve really paired down. But plants have taken there space. Do you still have a space at the Antique Mall? I love going there. I’ll probably try to go there on Friday. Good to see that you and Michael are doing well. Take care 🥰

[@talklesslistenmore5578]

I was thinking that haven't been here in years it looks cluttered than woth the nice furniture it's ikea she swap one thing for another

[@carmenjx0]

Pet squirrel is the cutest thing ever!!!

aw the little squirrel is so cute and adorable while munching on nuts hehe 🤗❤️ thank's for taking care of her Christine :) especially if she's a mom, she feeds the whole family :))

[@bluecollarlit]

I didn't know a squirrel could become this tame. That little face looking right into the camera, that is something else!

[@mrsrae3388]

That was fun! Curious to know, if you turn your living room into a workout room. Where would you entertain company? Do you have another sitting area? Love ur style!

[@WitchyHocusPocus]

That is adorable, what a tender heart you both are.

[@micheletaal4442]

I remember the butterflies in Maui. The squirrel is so cute.

[@ginny709]

That was the sweetest video!....Christine you being a Squirrel Mom.....I am so happy for Agouti.......and how she has bonded with you. Cheers to you...

[@MMMM-yh2iv]

My god , when I saw the squirrel walked in , I was screaming .. LOVED IT !

[@benpacky]

The squirrel is so beautiful! ❤️

[@MoreCoffeePlease.]

For those who don’t know, habituating wild animals to humans can actually indirectly (unintentionally) cause them harm and is why I don’t do it. Families of woodchucks live next door to me under an abandoned house and I act as the produce fairy, “secretly” dropping off produce for them a few times a week. I’m careful to not supply so much food that they stop searching for it themselves too, bc you do them harm if their instinct to find their own food sources are eliminated bc they fully depend on you. I also bring the food to them bc I don’t want them to associate other houses with food, as they could come across a human who may hurt them.

[@elicore.biz81]

oh no! i really liked that sofa that you had... I loved the way it brought a cool serene contrast with the desert look of your home...

[@debrabrickus8467]

I love those angel wing begonias. Mine is 4 ft high and I rescued it curbside in a neighborhood where it had a "free" sign on it.

[@soniapollock1417]

OMG she is so cute. When my daughter was younger we had one come to our front door and we called her sandy but she would come everyday.So nice of you to be so kind to her seems like she has bonded with you love it.

This is too cute. My parents have squirrels in their backyard too. Your squirrel is a cutie and makes me so happy for you!

Your “Pet” is so precious. She is so cute when she asks for more food 🥜. Ty for being so kind to her. Your workout room is really coming along. So tranquil to workout in. Hope your staying cool 🧊..have a fantabulous weekend 🪴🌵

[@medinaclarinetist6644]

I agree with owning less Francis Jay wrote a book called Lightly it basically share how to live minimally. You might be into it, definitely worth checking out

[@angelica0269]

Your channel is so wonderful! Have a question, what do you wear if you are invited to a wedding or a formal dinner and where do you keep your vacation clothing like bathing suits and flip flops or sandals. I just didn’t see any of those items in your closet and since you mentioned about all of your clothes for all seasons being there I was just wondering about those other items I just mentioned. I have a big house with lots of plants throughout every room but I keep everything with a purpose and I really love what I have. I have sold lots of my furniture from the “main” leaving room area because we don’t use that room anymore and I will leave it empty with some plants only. My closet is a good size closet in the small to medium size and since I used to work for a designer company I have lots of good quality everyday clothes (jeans, trousers, sweaters, light weight tops, bottoms, dresses, etc.) but I keep it extremely organized and I am able to see everything I have. I keep purging it but some how I still have lots of good clothes and shoes to choose from but again everything is really organized and visible so I get to wear everything during the 4 different seasons. I totally agreed with you about the DYI projects! Omg instead of helping minimizing, it’s more work which create more clutter because we end up with extra product/tools that we will probably not need again or at least not for a very long time. I am also a big fan of buying good quality items over least expensive items that will only last for short period of time. I collect Chrystal’s and minerals too! I keep some of those beauties in different areas of the house as they aren’t just a decorative piece but a they serve a purpose bringing joy and peace and sense of well-being to those near them. I have a descent amount of gemstone that I have collected over the last day 5+ years and the majority of my collection are nicely displayed on a shelve above my desk and I added some lighting to emphasize their beauty. As much as I am still trying to minimize or downsize I still work in progress and watching your channel has infused my creativity again. 😊

[@theemarydee1610]

You are the queen of “uncluttering” be fore it was called DEcluttering. I hadn’t been on for awhile and thought of you but I couldn’t remember your last name so I actually searched “Christine pink so foxy “. I love catching up so I’ll be binging your last year of videos. Thank you for helping me see a new life through your eyes.

Where do you relax and where do you eat?

[@tamarapeters369]

The squirrel, YES!!! I love it! Please show us more🐿

[@innal.6934]

That is so sweet, how lovely to have love and compassion for animals! I ❤️ it

[@ronjakh]

Agouti is the sweetest! Hazel, pecans, walnuts and fruits and vegetables are generally best for them. They have the most beneficial nutrients ☺️ you should be really carful with hand feeding her though, because they can have harmful mites, fleas and bacteria that can easily be transferred to humans. Just looking out for you! 🙂

[@sashacerny8227]

❤️ I put my basil in a larger pot and that helped still takes a lot of water 💦

[@sunnydae6602]

What a sweet magical relationship you have with the squirrel- I would 100% let her in my house too!💜 I hope you put out food for the babies 🤗

So sweet. I remember the Monarch butterflies and all the friendly chickens. 🦋🐓

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I check in on you now and then - but I was one of your Phase One subscribers back in the day. Remember…I sent you the gold desk supplies and the white empty book that I had your name engraved on the front in gold. Long time ago! You look great. It’s interesting because not is much different for you than ever. Whereas we have been through a million things…definitely project people. Once something is done we want to tackle something new and different. Life is a big “you never know.” Love to Michael. Certainly, I remember the monarchs. The guinea pigs..the chickens, now a squirrel! Love forever…Jennyinseattle

Your Monarch butterflies video was so interesting. You have changed your interests greatly over the years and now you hardly ever talk about makeup! Glad you still work out. I should be interested to see how that has changed as you get older. You were always so kind to birds and chickens. Loved the little furry person.

[@monamorgan8614]

Hello sweet people😁 Its nice seeing you again👍🏻❤️ I started watching your channel when you lived in the large house on the Island, and during the major make up declutter and the move to the smaller house, the changes you made , from decluttering and into minimalist life style were so inspiring. I am wondering if that the many plants you are buying are now a substitute for the make up you purged?? I stopped buying craft supplies two years ago so I could use up the large amount I already own, but started building a large food pantry buying up extra food weekly, maybe its a mental game exchange one for the other lol Your home is lovely🥰

[@wotsup67]

OMG The squirrel was the cutest thing! You made my day. I love squirrels but we don’t have them where I live. Thankyou for looking after her. It’s tough for wildlife with humans taking over their habitat. She is a very smart little thing showed absolutely no fear😊💖

We had “pet” squirrels inTexas Not in our house but we had large windows and they would come up on the porch and put their paws on the windows and peek in letting us know it was time to eat lol We had a momma that brought her babies to see us it was priceless❤️ Since they aren’t an endangered animal and stay in one area I see no reason not to be friend them , remembering they are wild creatures and aren’t vaccinated for rabies etc. I wish there was a way to put the vaccine in their food🤔
