30 LIFE CHANGING Minimalist Experiments to Try in Your Home

[@stephaniebrewer5903]

I would love to see the pantry challenge! I would love to see ideas and motivation tips to get rid of pantry and freezer items! 😊

[@laurent4809]

Love thieves cleaner. Also love that precious puppy that makes an appearance at the end of the video!! 😍😍😍

[@sararose9664]

I’ve been using thieves for about 5 years now and I love it. And I agree on too many pillows on couch but they are cozy lol

[@MissMolly75]

Great tips! My husband has all one kind of sock, and I've really simplified mine as well. That is a HUGE game changer. I do need different kinds of socks for different shoes and pants, but I at least have one one sock per type of shoe. No more fun socks, or different brands, etc. So all the same black sock, all the same sweat socks, all the same no show socks. So there is no thinking about what matches up with what. And for towels, I just recently discovered the absolute joy of having all the same towels in all the bathrooms!!! Total game changer. I used to do different colored towels. But then no one else in the house knew where the towels went, or which towels they could grab for themselves. Now every bathroom has the same yellow towels, and the guest towels are the same. No one ever has to ask me which towel belongs where, what they're allowed to use, what they should give to a guest. We can even have fewer towels because we don't actually need 2 towels per person, Just one per person, then a couple extras in case one gets dirty unexpectedly. I do still have a small pile of old towels for clean ups, and as long as they're clean, those can be used after showering in a pinch. Even a beach towel in a pinch. So I've cut towels down probably by half by having all the same color towels :)

[@aprilhoover3481]

For stained kitchen towels, I cut a 1" square out of a corner. That permanently retires them from their original use so they don't make their way back to the kitchen. They go to the rag bin for Hubs to use for nasty or greasy projects. Sometimes they can be washed and returned to the rag bin, but if they are awful he can just toss them with my blessing. This system has worked great and he no longer cleans his tools and grimy sports gear with my crisp white kitchen towels. 10/10 highly recommend.

I would love a cook the pantry for a week challenge! I do that myself sometimes, would be fun to see some other ideas

[@bobbiefarrar3036]

I got rid of most of my throw pillows. I have 2 on my large couch and none on our love seat. They were/are in the way when someone sits down and usually end up on the floor! I have all my dishes in my cabinets because we entertain frequently, but all the shelves that I cannot reach are EMPTY!! I refuse to just put things up there that I don't use - I just decluttered that stuff. Love your enthusiasm! God bless you and yours!!

[@janicerice8810]

Great tips for how to simplify without feeling the loss of things until you have acclimatized yourself to having less. I have done this with my makeup, hair products, clothing and frying pans. I have not missed them and find when I go back to the stored bins I wonder why I kept half the stuff anyway and can declutter them permanently. A nice bridging step for those of us who are afraid we will over declutter.

[@susanfindell6154]

I like these challenges. Taking everything out of a room, and slowly bringing in what you need is genius. I’m going to do it 😊

[@jehnnaanderson1172]

My partner and I live in a tiny one bedroom house with no storage, so we are forced to keep things to a minimum even though I like to anyway, so I have two pairs of shoes, three small drawers of clothes (no wardrobe) one drawer of utensils in the kitchen and whenever I buy something new I have to get rid of something!

[@bobbigladden523]

Great ideas! I am going to try at least 4 of these in my home. Can't wait to begin tonight after work. Thanks for the motivation 😃

[@BayRaeDay]

I did declutter my throw pillows. We have had them for over 13 years and they pretty much lost all of their filling. 😅 I trashed them with the thought process that we will get new when we get a new couch. Hopefully soon. I do catch myself at HomeGoods looking at them and looking forward to having them again.

[@Debbie-Savings]

Yes, a meal challenge with what you already have would be great! 👍

[@SaraShaughnessy-g2m]

Thieves is the only cleaner I use. It's fantastic and safe for all ages! I've used it for years.❤

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Okay spoiler I bought it a couple days ago and I LOVE it!!!!!

[@bonnytiley3998]

Thanks for sharing! Would totally be interested in that series! I am a month behind so you may have already done it hahah

[@danaplate6459]

This video of ""experiment suggestions" is so thought provoking and inspiring! Thank you! I am in the throw pillows are a must boat with you - and also a front door wreath Keep up your wonderful work in this world! Always rooting for you!

[@missinthecastle3335]

Challenges!! I did the Shelftember challenge! Wow! I used so much in my pantry/ freezer.

[@mariaziarnik6909]

This will be a fun project to do in my long weekend for decluttering

[@hollyreadschildrensbooks]

Yes please do the pantry meal challenges!!!!

[@satua7979]

Great tips thank you! 😊

[@alexajacques4020]

Brilliant ideas, thank you so much for keeping us inspired. Absolutely love the cooking all your meals with what you currently have in the pantry.

[@junelovvorn3221]

Now I need to get busy. Great video!!

[@sharonthibault8153]

Love you have soo many ideas, so that people can get inspired by at least one of these if not more. Where I live I can imagine every owning three pair of shoes. I need a summer type shoe (sandals or flip flops), a pair of sneakers, a pair of heels/dressy shoes, and a pair of winter boots (but I could switch out my boots and sandals for the season).

[@Vivienne130]

Love your videos … but… packing up an entire room is definitely no option for my personal decluttering journey… I live in a small 59 square meters apartment (no attic, no basement, no garage) and I would be completely overwhelmed with having boxes all over my two rooms 🙈🙈🙈…

[@lfuentes4098]

Recipe for those breakfast muffins please. 😊

[@whatwouldpicarddomakeitso9607]

Thank you for sharing . Oooo , lots of good ideas . I’m going to try first the eating from the pantry for a week … and I’ll save some money 😉. You look lovely in that top , the colour suits you so much . 👍🏻🇬🇧💛🤍.

[@BayRaeDay]

Force of Nature is my absolute favorite cleaner! And it seems so minimal by design. 😍 I enjoy making a new batch. Kind of fun!

[@sharonp1460]

Force of Nature is the BEST! It is all I use!

[@vanessagarza-soto9539]

Would love the pantry challenge! I wish i could become a minimalist. Maybe one day

[@cherylkalsch5107]

This is an excellent video. Thank you ❤

[@clairedubery1056]

Love these suggestions! Thankyou ❤

[@ivanajukicgloban6627]

Great!!!Thanks for inspo!❤😊🎉

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

You are so welcome!

[@susanfindell6154]

I use the cleaner recipe from Mellisa Maker, about 12 ounces of water, a 1/2 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid and 10 drops of tea tree oil ( natural disinfectant). It smells great. Using a microfiber cloth with this cleanser makes everything clean, even glass and mirrors .

[@pamwood3956]

I just can't like the smell of tea tree oil, as much as I'd love to. But I do love the smell of Thieves.

[@michelleeigsti8859]

I have minimized over the years that there’s a lot of this that I do. Altho I’ve never packed up a room. But I could definitely go down in the amount of shoes I have and I also have plenty of plates & things in my kitchen. But I also host quite a bit and I love to cook & bake so I do use my stuff 😊 because we live in a smaller house I will go thru our stuff every other month & just see if there’s not things I can get rid of. And I always find things 😊

[@nickybookz222]

Make your own all-purpose cleaner. Vinegar, for example, is very good in the bathroom and toilet. Add some dishwashing liquid and some water (possibly a little essential oil) and you have the best all-purpose cleaner you can imagine. Vinegar is also good as a fabric softener and if you bake bread yourself, add a drop of vinegar to the flour. This works as a bread improver. Often used by bakers instead of E300 (vitamin C). Clean tiles with vinegar, your bathtub or your windows. Everything gets clean with vinegar and it kills bacteria better than bleach.

[@abigailnr]

I did a little test and put the throw pillows in another room for about a month or so and we didn't even miss them! I got tired of everyone leaving them squished and thrown around.

[@CandiceQH]

I use Immunity Boost cleaner concentrate from Revive. It is thieves without the mlm markup!👏🏻

[@nataliesutherland5584]

I'm with you on the throw pillows can't get rid of my pillows and throw blankets

[@meriawakened]

Im doing it rn. Done my primary bathroom cabinets drawers, and medicine cabinet. My night stands and closet. Did 2nd bathroom closet, drawers and cabinet. Did hall closet. Now working on my office.

[@charmin78]

Visual overload!

[@sarahdelozier4054]

I would love a meal planning video. ❤

[@alisonperno439]

YES YES YES to challenge videos

[@nancyfeeser4653]

Yes to using what is in your pantry? Would love to see.

[@raymondmonaghan4112]

Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well great ideas love your videos love from Eugenie your friend xxx 🏡💓🌻🌞

[@katesimonet1154]

Thieves is great!!! Lots of ways to stretch it super far too. I use theives for counters, mopping and foaming hand soap. We also diffuse it when we are love on candles. I will say I do not like the thieves laundry soap.

[@marykimble5214]

I would be interested in a series of meals out of pantry items.

[@NaneeH63]

I agree with the mental overload with frames hanging on the wall. I removed half of them and i seem to breathe much better. And i discovered i can't stand black frames. My brain was always focusing on the frames, not the pictures they were displaying.

[@SandraGoins-w8q]

I need a video on how to store/declutter medicines.

[@dorotasulewski82]

I would love to see you dog more in your videos 😊❤

[@sueancell7655]

Yes please do the pantry challenge 👍

[@bethmann3283]

I went through my summer clothes yesterday and got rid of a ton, it felt great! Stuff that I haven't worn in years, I've heald on to for who knows why. I mean don't get me wrong...I could have done better, but hey I did pretty darn good!!

[@pamwood3956]

That's a great start! I do this at the start of each season and donate what I knew I hadn't used in a couple of seasons. It gets easier each time.

[@bethmann3283]

@pamwood3956 maybe its a blessing that our closet isn't big enough to house all my clothes, so it forces me to change out seasons. We have warm Temps again this week in Arkansas, then cool down next week, so I'll go through my fall/winter clothes. Thankfully what I got rid of I haven't missed at all!!

[@lm8584]

I stopped buying throw pillows years ago because they always ended up on the floor. I have a couple left that can be used in a bedroom but have learned that throw pillows are not for me anymore. 😂

[@jamiecorisis6122]

I use old dish towels for my fruits and veggies to air dry on. I don’t care if the towels get stained from raspberries or strawberries now if they’re on old towels.

[@sarahharper9328]

Need my throw pillows as I'm disabled & need the xtra support on my back

[@jamiecorisis6122]

Thieves still has a lot of harsh chemicals. Try Branch Basics ❤

[@annlavine3576]

Thanks I am decluttering places for the ? time and i still find things . If you give everyone a towel set make sure they like the color, My mom got pink for me and i hate pink

[@ruthpaino6171]

Used Thieves for years. It is great, lasts a long time. Using a cheaper product for now. Time will tell if I go back to it....

[@amywert8088]

hmmm. You cannot remove half if they aren't identical. You have taken out half of the colors, I used my dry erase for scheduling and needed more colors, maybe you don't? I also disagree on spatulas and measuring cups, I need my dinner spatula AND the cookie baking one. I need at least 2 measuring cups because there are always wet and dry ingredients, washing it and then drying it and not having it there full of the next thing is not helpful. Same with measuring spoons. I have noticed that my shoes are too much. I have moved farther inland and that has made a huge difference in what I need as far as clothing, it has basically eliminated the 'Spring' section. However this next Spring might be more intense! I'm still less than an hour from the coast and my grandson moved closer to the coast! I actually didn't have enough pie pans for Thanksgiving this year, one had been misplaced and I still haven't put them away. I need to pull out the baking dishes and rethink this so they are where I can find them when I do need them. And the big problem is - I still have mom's stuff on the shelves where she always kept them. Not a ton of stuff - however. :/

[@nancyfeeser4653]

No throw pillows for couch or any beds for me

[@terrychittam945]

❤❤❤❤

[@itsHeatherKay]

My big problem I am working on is actually letting go of everything I bought that I don’t really use. It’s pretty… but I don’t need it.

[@angelwingsreborns2019]

Thieves is amazing. It is all we use in our house.

[@amywert8088]

I love Thieves!

[@tanyadonovan1979]

Thieves laundry soap works well for me too . I know not everyone likes it tho .

[@tanyadonovan1979]

Thieves cleaner works excellent. You can use it everywhere in your home . 😊

[@charmin78]

“Time commitment is a form of clutter”

[@kayliemcintosh7841]

I tried Theives once. I paid a shit ton of money for a stinky waste of time. Well named.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Was the smell to strong or just off putting?

[@Thesignarizzler123]
