✨ about my channel
I will be sharing the ups and downs of life and how to attempt to get through it in one piece. I’ll be sharing realistic life advice, minimalism tips, routines, vlogs, and anything else I think you would benefit from! Life is messy and unpredictable, and learning how to manage these hurdles is the first step to leading a happier and more intentional life. We're all trying our best out here, and I just want to share what is and isn't working for me.
Sending you all my love,
Grace

your declutter/minimalism videos are so comforting and relatable. i have been hella stressed and overwhelmed lately and having your videos on in the back while im also decluttering and getting stuff done is so helpful!!!

[@gracenevitt]

that means everything to me 😭💗💗 hope you feel more centered soon!!

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

Thank you for being honest and true to your values. It helps the rest of us out here navigating through life more than you know.

[@gracenevitt]

that's literally my only goal💗

[@austhen]

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I am honestly inspired to declutter and clean. Its the best!

[@gracenevitt]

love to hear it !!!!

[@jimmyanderson6895]

Not sure if you have tried them but reusable paper towels are a good way to cut down on waste and also save room in the closet. I personally love mine and would never go back. We also keep one roll of regular paper towels for certain things/just in case. Love your channel and happy to have found you!

[@amywilliams1617]

Keep going! I declutter weekly...it keeps the crap down. You have to take paint to a special pick up place...in the bigger cities they have "events" for old electronics and paint to drop off...try calling the city as they usually sponsor it!!

[@savannam7961]

Your presence is comforting

[@Justmyeverydaylife7]

I remember you talking about Christmas socks and they were in a brown bag in a closet on a top shelf . I used to have a bunch of colorful socks but have been getting rid of the stained ones and replaced them with 2 packages of the same black socks.

[@gracenevitt]

omg what a good memory!! thank you!!

[@LeaSonnenscheinTrier]

​@@gracenevittGrace, did you find them in the brown bag on the shelf?

[@gracenevitt]

@LeaSonnenscheinTrier I think I might have moved them because I found them in a different box with my last remaining random things haha

[@LeaSonnenscheinTrier]

@@gracenevitt Ah, the random places things are moved to and in mysterious ways later found somewhere else 😉 Glad you found them.

[@kenz1129]

This is hilarious! Made me smile. Good memory!

[@victoria02215]

Btw on the socks issue not pretending to stop you from getting rid of them but what I do with lost/mismatched socks is wearing them at home if they are still in great condition or they are a cozy material, you dont have to be fancy at home (or nowhere) and they tear apart more eassily than the ones you wear outside so you get use of them but wont be sad when decide letting them go

[@gracenevitt]

the only thing is, all of these socks are so different in weight/thickness/etc that I wouldn't be able to wear them at the same time😂it would bother me too much LOL but! your suggestion did remind me of the fact that if you use an old sock to dust, it's much easier! bc you can just wear it on your hand and wipe down surfaces.... so I might keep one or two of them for that tbh

[@victoria02215]

@@gracenevitt Is a big bye then😌

[@pjlacey3990]

I label my cords and cables as they come into my house if they are not obvious. For example, my Kobo charger has Kobo engraved into the plastic. I still have older cables that I have no idea about. I eventually get rid of them.

[@annie-ez2lq]

looks like those random wood pieces would be great to use as brackets to add another shelf in there for your tools or something of the like! Another shelf could be a game changer in there

[@ivyvelasquez4156]

Love your channel, Love your content you are magical! ❤

[@raedaze]

You’re so chill. Happy for you on the sponsorship!!

[@gracenevitt]

you're so sweet thank you so much 😭💗

[@danceBRdance]

Might be a little late, but if you have a top loading washer socks can get sucked out of the drum inside of the machine. You can take off the front panel and get them out very easily. Just find a quick KZbin tutorial. My washer had like 4 socks and 2 pairs of underwear after just 6 months.

[@pjlacey3990]

Paint disposal is at hazardous waste places. In our county, we have four days a year to do this. Bigger cities probably have a place to do so.

[@justnoticing]

Hi Grace, Congratulations on your sponsorship. You did a great job decluttering and made an very enjoyable video. I hope the following might help you: Regarding your tiredness: Have you considered that you might be iron deficient? My daughter has this problem from time to time and is always the last one to pick up on it. You said that you wondered what to do with instruction manuals. If you still have and use the appliances, decide whether you would actually need or use the instructions. If you would, check online to see if available there and if not either photograph/scan and put in a file on phone/computer. Cords and cables are a real pain. Don't you wish they would print some kind of label somewhere unobtrusive on them? I'm considering labelling the ones we have kept using my Dymo label tape so it is quick and easy to find the one I need/know whether it is still something useful. Yesterday I found my Apple watch charger and I have already sold the watch. I've seen others with cheap velcro ties that keep your cables neat and tangle-free when you are not using them and I'm thinking of buying some to keep things tidy and organised. In Australia, paint is collected at special centres for recycling. Ours is at our tip. This might help you: www.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/downloads/pdf/promotional-materials/harmful-products-brochure-06310-f.pdf

[@gracenevitt]

wow! thank you so much !!!

[@victoria02215]

Omg grace congratulacions on the sponsorship, you deserve it so much!!! Your channel has become one of my comfort channels and I love seeing your decluttering journey being so relatable with life struggles,mental issues,grief,tiredness and so more that life gets us through and seem like no one talks about. So happy for your process and hope it gets even better❤

[@gracenevitt]

this means so much thank you😭💗

[@Sophie-kn3gh]

So happy to see this video! I just started a new job and life has been a bit chaotic so I’m glad to take this time to relax

[@Sophie-kn3gh]

Congrats btw!

[@gracenevitt]

thank you!! and congrats on your new job!

[@runningtoastgirl7766]

I... love that rug.

[@luvlost03]

When I do laundry at the laundromat, I will often find a single sock left behind in the washer or dryer, so now I always check the machines when I'm done, and I no longer have missing socks

[@rayeof_light]

Yay! I love your videos.

[@lenavonstein9671]

My sock drawer is also very very full haha but I don't mind 😊 Congrats to your sponsorship ❤

[@gracenevitt]

thank you!! 💗

[@jaminxc143]

Love your channel!!

[@gracenevitt]

that is so sweet, thank you😭💗

[@wiltedspinachcat3472]

yay how exciting for a sponsorship!!! so deserved !!

[@gracenevitt]

thank you!!

[@runningtoastgirl7766]

User guides and manuals usually are unnecessary. Usually you can find a digital copy of it somewhere online.

[@baileyjgarcia]

Omg yay for a sponsorship !! You deserve it 🤍

[@LilaVert-FR]

I just hope it's not BH.

[@gracenevitt]

it is not (and will never be LOL)

[@itsporange]

OMG I HAVE A SOCK PROBLEM TOO!!! I own a lot coz it makes me happy they're so cute

[@itsporange]

I got it until the end and I'm commenting for more engagement yay ❤ I love you and everything that you do. You inspire me so much

[@gracenevitt]

thank you so much!!

[@kelli4847]

congrats on the sponsorship!!!!!

[@LilaVert-FR]

You seem to be such a nice person :) Regarding the socks, my missing ones are generally under the bed or the couch. Have you checked there ?

[@gracenevitt]

yeah we just rearranged our whole living room and bedroom and nothing🥲 those socks had been missing for months and months... I was holding on to them for too long LOL

[@therealjunkfoodprojectglas3192]

The socks you got from England, where were they from? I will try & find them for you! 💚

[@gracenevitt]

omg you're so sweet, but it's totally okay!!! they were from a tiny little haberdashery in Tavestock😭💗 the shop owner literally said it was their first time ordering women's socks to their shop so I have no clue where they're from or if they're even still there! just one of those things you have to release back to the universe...

[@Sapafosterpups]

It’s been four months, time for another!

[@corallie7746]

Everyone has one of these drawers 😂

[@_alliett]

also: people joke that the washing machine eats socks but it actually does! it's scientifically proven

[@gracenevitt]

this is absolutely true !!

[@melanieneill3398]

I wonder w your random socks you could sew together a funky sock monkey??!

[@gracenevitt]

honestly if I had kids I would totally do this! but not even my dog likes toys like that 😩
