[@stephaniea.f.6333]

Another great video! I have to share a funny story with you! Throughout my minimalist journey I've always loved the tip of getting rid of unnecessary flat surfaces because they will always collect clutter. I've gotten rid of my end tables in the bedroom and living room and so many other furniture items and flat surfaces and it has made a tremendous difference. Well, my husband blew my mind last week when he found a new flat surface. He put a whiteboard erase marker on the top of a mirror hanging on my living room wall! At first I was mad because why couldn't he put it away! Why would he put it there of all places lol. But then I started laughing and realized I guess I need to declutter my wall decor haha

[@jimcandykollath8425]

Many blessings Dawn & family

[@no_peace]

Me too. I'm not quite nearing the end yet but I'm 80%? done in a few spaces. It's incredible. Having way less stuff, having things that are easy to manage, makes life so much easier for me as a disabled person. I didn't get rid of enough stuff to totally get it until maybe a year or two ago, and I was like OHHHHHH! I got rid of difficult kitchen items as well, it's life changing. Then my health got worse and I decided to change out some of my clothes to make the cycle of managing laundry easier. It is so much less stress on me. It's like a miracle

The Orawellness Heal They Mouth blend is a must keep! Our family has used it for years: It has healed bleeding gums in a few days, and any bad smells when using floss are sorted. Amazing stuff! A drop or two on a toothbrush or floss is all you need.

[@user-jb7wp7uq4r]

Hi Dawn. I use the Healthy Mouth Blend every day to go along with the Shine tooth powder. My mouth is so much healthier because of this. I used to be chastised by my dental hygienists because I get plaque faster than most. Recently I had a new hygienist for teeth cleaning and she was sure my gums would bleed (she was a bit rougher than my normal person) and was amazed at the fact that my gums did not bleed. She said keep doing whatever it is that you are doing. Thanks Karma

[@kathleenshaw932]

“For this season in our lives,“ your most helpful phrase!!!

[@flohough1870]

Agree completely, it totally changed the way I look at things and helps me in deciding whether to keep or get rid of. Does it fit this "season"? If not, it needs to go.

[@Ripplesinthewaters]

Dawn, I want to assure you that you aren’t “justifying” yourself to us. You’re explaining your thinking as you sort. I’m pretty sure we understand the intent. :) Learning how to think through things as we declutter is a useful skill. :)

[@heatherrafferty5457]

The Healthy Mouth blend is the best! It's made a huge difference in my oral health. I put a few drops on my tooth brush every time I brush.

[@sharoncusack1660]

I use it exactly the same way! In fact our whole family uses it instead of toxic toothpastes. It is the best, so much healthier for your teeth and gums!!

[@lindastuder198]

I've been using the Orawellness HealThy Mouth Blend for years and have had great dental cleanings w/o any cavities. My sister stayed overnight and tried the Blend and was so impressed she ordered her own because she loves the shine and the whiteness it provides for her teeth.

[@visserrific]

Hi Dawn, you don't have to oil pull for the Heal Thy Mouth. I use it ipo toothpaste. A couple of drops on my brush and brush. It has helped my mouth a ton. Give it a try!

[@user-xs3cu5ou2i]

HealThy Mouth Blend is amazing for so much more than oil pulling! I use it for daily teeth brushing and love it!

[@jantveraas4457]

"Filing" shirts vertically has made it easier to find and use them. Nothing gets "lost" at the bottom.

Yes, the Kondo method. They can get 'filed' across the drawer or in rows front to back.

[@carlafassbender4071]

HealThy mouth is for so much more than oil pulling. I use it daily in place of regular toothpaste and mouthwash. My mouth feels so clean after using it too. Zero cavities since I started using it about 10 years ago. Love how compact the little bottle is too! One tiny bottle replaced bulky toothpaste & mouthwash that used to sit on the bathroom counter.

[@DustinRanem]

2:30 That HealThy Mouth oil blend by OraWellness is what I use for brushing my teeth! It's fantastic for gum health, definitely keep that one in the drawer and brush with it at least once a week or more! It's SO good!!

[@rachelzinman]

Hi Dawn, I saw you have the Healthy Mouth blend by Orawellness. I just have to say this is an incredible oil. I went to the gum specialist and was told I'd have to have gum surgery etc. I did some research found the healthy mouth blend and started putting two drops on my floss and OMG in just 6 months my gums completely healed. Its been almost 10 years and I am still gum disease free. I would so recommend taking it out of the time will tell bin an using it as part of your dental health regime. I am so excited to see you have this oil...thanks for all you give and share with the community!

[@michaelham2366]

I use HealThy Blend twice a day, and I consider it essential. First, when I get out of bed each morning, I head to the bathroom. I brush my teeth using just HealThy Mouth Blend with a Bass toothbrush (which I consider equally essential because it reaches between my teeth). As a dental hygienist told me years ago about oral bacteria, "We may not be able to kill them, but we can disrupt their colonies." And just recently I read in an NPR article that brushing your teeth immediately on rising, before breakfast, had the benefit of breaking apart the biofilm that is trying to form in the mouth. The biofilm takes 24 hours to form, so a good brushing or flossing that reaches between the teeth every 12 hours will keep the bacteria in check. I also use HealThy Mouth Blend just before I go to bed. I brush using a Sonicare electric toothbrush and a good toothpaste, then use a handheld Waterpik, then brush using a Bass toothbrush and HealThy Mouth Blend, and then floss. My dentist likes the result. (I also don't eat refined sugar.)

[@marielle2066]

Hi Dawn, We’ve been using OraWellness HealThy Mouth Blend for years and we are never without it. We even travel with it. It’s so versatile. You can use it in so many different ways that it replaces other products. We use it on our electric toothbrush with the Shine remineralization tooth powder, on our floss, with our tongue scraper, directly in our mouth as a mouthwash. My husband even used it directly on his gums when he was having gum issues and the results were very impressive. It’s truly one of our favorites. I sincerely hope you will reconsider and keep it.

[@juliavivian4573]

Just bought velcro cord straps. I organized the charging section of my drawer, and was so giddy, I showed my husband. He was not as excited as me 😂😂

[@MyFocusVaries]

Isn't that so often the way! :)

[@hopefulsower]

HealThy Mouth Blend is a keeper! It's an incredibly simple way to make a major positive difference in your gums and teeth! I put a couple of drops on my toothbrush when brushing (with Shine from OraWellness is best but it will boost anything you are using to brush your teeth!), or just put some drops in my mouth before bed and use my tongue to spread it around my teeth. You'll wake up with a fresher mouth! Super simple!

[@user-jw6io2dm4u]

You might want to re-think the Healthy mouth blend! I have been using this product daily for a couple of years, maybe more. My dental cleanings find very little to scrape, and my dentist tells me to keep doing what I am doing. (I am 80 years old, so avoiding dental problems is VERY important to me.)

[@LoJo4827]

Bet you didn’t expect so many comments about the little bottle of heal thy mouth blend you put in the “time will tell” bin! Love your videos, and I knew what that bottle was when you held it up. I agree with others-try it on your toothbrush along with (or instead of) toothpaste. My family members use it daily and it keeps our gums and teeth healthy. I also rub it on my gums if there’s a spot that’s irritated and it goes away within a day!

[@user-yn9qs4hh7w]

Heal Thy Mouth blend is so awesome! Don’t forget about it!! Once you get into the habit, you won’t go back. I use it as a mouth wash, adding one or two drops in my rinse cup, and my teeth do not get that furry feeling later in the day, leaving my mouth feeling cleaner for longer. I have used this instead of toothpaste too, and put a drop or two on my toothbrush. And when I have had the occasional gum abscess…this is a god send- I just put a drop on my finger and run my dental floss through it. Then I floss in the area and my abscess heals so much quicker! I also rub what little oil is left on my finger into the affected gum area. This stuff is liquid gold, and I swear by it! Will never go back to regular mouth washes etc since my mouth health in general is so much better with Health Thy Mouth, saving me money at the dentist.

You can also use them to colour code, so people know at a glance what category they are if there is a lot - pink for one kid, purple for another, green for travel, aqua for bathroom things like electric toothbrushes, etc.

[@debbiecisewski3399]

Regarding the HealThy Mouth Blend that you put in the Time Will Tell bin, there are some other easy uses for this blend. I use it every day after brushing my teeth. I just put a drop on my tongue, take a sip of water and swish it around my mouth. It acts as a sort of mouthwash. I have also put a few drops on my toothbrush and brushed my teeth with it. And I have even put a drop or two on my finger and just massaged my gums and teeth with it. I do oil pulling, but honestly, I have not used the HealThy mouth blend for that. The other uses I mentioned above are easier and very effective for keeping the mouth and teeth healthy. I encourage you to try using it in other ways that might fit your oral routine better.

[@sopjoplop23]

I told myself that after Xmas I was going to finally break down all my Amazon boxes I had been collecting over thr year. I do use them for donations, but I had way to many! I kept 2 small ones and got rid of the rest! Felt so good.

[@suehopping5863]

HealThy Mouth Blend has definitely helped me restore the health of my gums. My holistic dentist saw a great reduction in my gum inflammation after brushing with the blend on a regular basis. I've also used it many times directly dropped on a sore area between my gums and teeth, and seen the ache/pain be gone by the next morning. Highly recommended. Give it a fair try.

[@robbaechtel8439]

Dawn! Don't pitch the OraWellness Healthy Mouth Blend! At least until you learn what a powerhouse you have, in that little bottle. It is NOT just for oil pulling - in fact, I've never used it for that, or heard of it being used for that. I'm adding OraWellness oil pulling to my regimen. Thanks! I've been using the product for years. It replaces (i.e. declutters) my toothpaste, my mouthwash and I use it to apply straight to a wound or sore area, so I've ditched my "triple antibiotic ointment" too. We call it "snake oil" in my house, as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that we use it for everything! I've cleared up skin infections and cuticle infections with that stuff. If, after all this, you decide to pitch it anyway, send it to ME!!

[@juliedewyse8436]

I know this video is a bit old but I wanted to comment abuot the OraWellness oil. It's the only product I use use for brushing my teeth. I don't use any other toothpaste or powder. I also will sometimes use a drop when oil pulling. I have been using it for my foothpaste for over 5 years and when I go in for a cleaning I have very little tartar which wasn't the case prior to using it.

[@user-rm2gl3ze1y]

Hey there! Great tips in general but I thought you might want to know that HealTHY Mouth blend oil is not just for oil pulling. I use it to brush my teeth and it has significantly improved my gum health!

The healthy mouth blend is for much more than oil pulling. It rescues my gums when my gums are sensitive. I also grab it when I want to refresh my mouth when I’m out and about, with a quick swish with water.

[@user-ok3fy3sd5z]

I've been using the Orawellness Healthy Blend oil for several years. After a tooth with a dead root needed to be replaced with an implant, the gum had receded and the dentist said there was nothing I could do about it. After using the Healthy Blend for several months THE GUM GREW BACK, and I no longer have a painful, potential situation. Gum disease affects nearly 50% of the population, and if you're over 65, it goes up to 70%. Healthy Blend is a great remedy for getting and keeping your gums strong and healthy!

[@madelinewaters9037]

Love your videos!! Hate to say it but people could break their stuff following the cord advice. Even if the end or the input of the cord or power cube is the same type of plug, that doesn’t mean they are made to handle the same amount of electricity!! What the power source is rated for is usually written in fine print on the cube you plug in, and same for your device. Too much voltage=fried device. Labeling them when you buy them avoids this for sure! Just don’t guess with older cords and devices just because the input is the same. You may break your item 😭 felt compelled to add that for anyone reading. Thanks for what you do!!

[@ahatch7534]

I had the same thought! Use caution with using cords interchangeably.

[@arlenekeith6235]

Having an organized/clearish bathroom counter is one of the best things I've ever accomplished. I have to keep things on the counter bc I'm AuDHD, but they're all in cute trays and baskets so I can clearly tell when things aren't in the right place. It makes it so much less stressful and difficult to get ready

Such a little thing but it’s so nice having our everyday spaces only contain what we actually need 🙂

[@miabell5680]

Dawn! You have the HealThy Mouth Blend too?! 😍 Oh my goodness - it's so good! I kid you not, since my family and I have been using it, our Dentist is always in awe as to how CLEAN our teeth and gum lines are between regular check ups. In the past, tartar buildup was such an issue for us. All we've had to do is simply add 1 drop onto our toothbrush and and that's it. Honestly, the easiest thing and helps us use it on the daily.

[@ineffable500]

I use OraWellness HealThyMouth blend instead of toothpaste. It can be used in many ways for dental health, not just as an additive to oil pulling: also can be used rubbed into floss, instead of toothpaste, and added to water to make a mouthwash.

Watching your videos always makes me want to clean and declutter! Today I finally put all my "donate" stuff in a bag in the garage instead of having it sit all over my tables after nobody wanted it from our Buy Nothing Group 🙃 I also recycled some packaging and old jars I haven't found a use for yet thats been just sitting around for some reason. Makes me sound like such a slob when these things are so seemingly minor, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one!

[@MyFocusVaries]

Every time you post, I think, "I will watch even though I'm fully decluttered. Well, I'll just look in this cupboard...drawer...basket..." And here we go. There's always an item to move to its correct home at least, and the odd little thing that has now proved that it has not been put to use in the last few months, so I walk it to my donation bin in my (fairly empty) linen cupboard. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@kristinataddei8138]

I love it when Dawn admits when "something hurts" to throw away( like Mac concealer)....cuz then I don't feel alone with my blunder purchases....in other words I've been given permission to forgive myself for making a mistake, and I don't have to keep that item out of guilt anymore....thanks Dawn for all you do.... it's sooo appreciated!!!....

[@MyFocusVaries]

Y'know how people say not to throw good money after bad? In this case, it's not throwing good storage space after bad money. Keeping the wrong shade of concealer doesn't make it the right colour of concealer. 🗑️

About sheets. I have one set for each bed. Period. Love it! When i had little kids in the house, that was a different story.

[@mrsstrople]

Now, the biggest task for me is to just shop responsibly. I've been a minimalist my entire adulthood and just keep getting more selective. It is sooo nice. We're a family of four with two Littles and our house is so clean and tidy with little effort.

[@danarzechula3769]

Yes bring in less you don't have so much to take out😊

[@deborahschmidt9963]

ACTUALLY I use HealThy Mouth essential oil every day with my remineralizing tooth powder❣️❣️❣️ Love it

[@heartsandmindsathome]

Seeing Dawn in my feed just makes me smile! Now I can stop scrolling and watch something worth while 😁

[@patsyherr6031]

I personally like that little bottle of oil you held up called the HealThyMouth blend. It’s a great tooth paste, mouthwash and excellent to out on your floss before flossing. I’ve been using it for what seems like forever and I’ll never switch to “toothpaste “ again. Get that back out!

[@kristynyoung1895]

Always excited for a new video from you! Stumbled across your channel a few months back and have since decided to minimize my family of 4. (Our stuff anyways haha) I was raised by a hoarder so I always had trouble letting things go but watching your videos motivated me and I can officially say we have embarked on our journey to minimalism thanks to you. I have already thrown away carfuls of garbage and taken at least 4 carfuls to donate. We already feel lighter and are enjoying more time as a family with less stress and our kids are happier. I’m struggling with toys but I’ll get there, it’ll just take some time. Thank you so much! I’m certain God brought you into my life and for that we are so grateful!

[@amcorazon698]

Yes, toys are the worst😢😢😢

[@TheMinimalMom]

Oh my goodness, this is so awesome to hear!! Way to go!!!

[@TheMinimalMom]

And your kids won’t miss the toys!!! Just keep a few of their faves and let the rest go!!!

[@kristynyoung1895]

@@TheMinimalMom Giving it a go for the toys on Saturday! Wish me luck!

[@burrkut]

I use HealThy Mouth Blend every day. I tap out a drop right on to the toothpaste that's on my brush. Use it!

A funeral home near you may take the used makeup. I learned that online. I checked with my local funeral home and they were delighted to take my used makeup.

[@ahatch7534]

Genius!

[@annadinkledine1254]

I’ve watched so many of your videos, and yet I still learn more, and am motivated to work more on declutterring. It just never ends, and I find that encouraging in your videos, you keep making more content because our lives keep changing, our stuff keeps changing, and thus we keep decluttering.

[@catfish9539]

Great suggestions, and doable. I save the plastic bread bag tags, write the item and hook it onto the cord.

[@cv7357]

great idea!

[@joannecalcutt6724]

Great seeing Tom…miss your videos! Love your videos Dawn. I’m retired and not really bringing any stuff into the home but I keep looking for something to declutter because I love the high I get. 😍😍😍😍😍

[@KTplease]

My favorite line from this video: Keeping the thing doesn’t solve the problem. 🤯

[@Rollergirl601]

Recently found your channel from Frugal Fit Mom & I just want to say THANK YOU! You have completely changed my mindset when it comes to clutter, organization, and getting rid of things. While I’ve never had much of an issue letting things go I still would hold on to some things that didn’t fit, or I paid too much money for, or that I would tell myself I would use them later. The “time will tell” bin has been life changing. It is not only telling but it’s very freeing without the guilt. I’ve been below to tackle drawers, cabinets, bins, etc., for the last week and not only had it been an easier process it’s been a fairly enjoyable one as well. As I’ve been tackling the difference spaces I’ve been playing your videos in the background. It’s really helped to keep me motivated. Thank you again. You are helping so many people change their lives for the better. ❤

[@krissyk9767]

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm already pretty minimal but still got a bit more decluttering to go in my apartment. This weekend I took a bag of old tech stuff to the recycling place, donated a bag of clothes to the charity shop and threw away some old scrappy bed sheets and pillow cases that I was keeping "just in case" 😝 I enjoy watching these kind of videos as they help to motivate me to clean out my own place.

[@evelyny7037]

I love decluttering! It’s a roller coaster for me! I attack it madly for a little while and then it creeps back in while I’m busy with some other effort! Also, what a surprise that you mentioned the healthy mouth blend! I can seriously tell you that I’ve used this product for 10 years and I can tell a difference in how clean my mouth feels! I also believe I’ve staved off some issues by using it daily! Anyway, I really enjoyed this content!☺️☀️🌸

[@Macsrus5]

I am still decluttering thanks to you!❤️ It’s going great! I threw away cords today that I had NO idea what they went to. I’d been keeping them for “just in case” Thank you for showing us, we can part ways with items❤️

[@TheOnlyLila]

I really hate cleaning that garlic press too. Threw mine out recently. I’ve been buying those little jars of minced garlic that you keep in the frig.

[@MyFocusVaries]

I had chucked out mine, but missed its convenience. I grow my own garlic and don't like the taste of the bottled garlic. My sister bought me a garlic "rocker." It works really well and cleans up like a breeze. I just googled it and the Spruce Eats reviews it; it's called the Joseph Joseph garlic rocker.

[@grandmasewhappyhomestead187]

Excited always for a new video. Not only do you give great insight and motivation. But I can body double while I'm working on my stuff. You and Tom both look so cute today. I just wanna say you're so appreciated. You have helped me get rid of things. I never thought I would be able to. I thank the Lord for you all the time.

[@MyFocusVaries]

The hand cream you decluttered made think of a tip for items stored in drawers (where we are looking down at tops), I label the lid. For vitamins, I write with felt pen on the lids (Vit D, etc.) For spices, that I have in a basket that I pull down from an overhead cupboard, I use my Dymo labeller and labelled the lid with each herb/spice name.

[@imaamericangirl1406]

Great idea. We sometimes forget the obvious on stuff like this or don’t want to take the time. It literally will save us in the long run on items we want to keep and make sure it’s easy to find. One minute to make a label. Thank you!

[@jejrstans]

It's always THAT drawer in the bathroom. 😉 I love that you show how life happens and you have to keep decluttering. This was a great body doubling video! Thanks!

[@sallyeve4044]

Always enjoy watching! I have noticed you only have 4 chairs at your table. You have others elsewhere to all eat together?

[@ahatch7534]

Also wondered this! Small table for a family this size to eat together.

[@user-cu6ct3yo5q]

I love decluttering also. Feels so good. I noticed you're thinking about the orawellness oil. I've never used it as an oil pull. I have periodontal dz and since I've been dropping some oil onto my toothpaste 2-3 x a week, I continue to get good dental reports. They comment on how healthy and pink my gums are. Just an FYI, as its your declutter journey.

[@Mommaslew]

Wanted to share something funny (well, funny NOW). Several years ago I thought I would surprise my Mom by decluttering some drawer. I was definitely a novice. I “decluttered” her wine locker key. 😮😅😅😅😅😊

[@audreywhite1757]

That large vase would make a wonderful family joy jar. Jar with pen and small colored squares of paper. Anytime someone experiences a joy or good news..jot it down and into the jar. New years eve...read them. You will be shocked how many little joys get forgotten. I also read them randomly when having a really hard day.

[@shannong7556]

Thank you for supporting tilvalhalla ❤️❤️❤️

[@mindymudge7247]

Great video. You make it so easy to declutter. We moved a year ago & there is so much that is still in boxes that we haven't used. I am ready to do big declutter again. I do keep a good size box behind my hlider chair and as i come across items that need to go it makes it easybto get rid of them. I do move them into a bag when i take to donate place but i never second guess myself. Once an item is in the box it no linger exsists. Thank you do very much for your un ending encouragement. You are so wonderful. Tell Tom we are missing his videos though😉

[@deannesanv8931]

I use a couple drops of HealThy Mouth Blend to oil pull first thing in the morning (20+ minutes), but then I put a couple drops on my toothbrush to brush my teeth. At night, I put a drop on my finger and run my dental floss through it to floss my teeth with it and then I again put a couple drops on my toothbrush to brush my teeth before bed. Definitely a keeper for me. (I bought 12 of them since I buy anything I can in bulk to get a better price.) I also use the Shine powder and the bamboo toothbrushes. Ahh, FINALLY…. It has bothered me for a long time to use plastic toothbrushes. I hope you dig that HealThy Mouth oil out of that bin and use it … or at least give it to someone who will use it. Lots of us would gladly take it off your hands. :)

[@debsmith3448]

Oh boy. I really need the cord labels. Never knew they existed. Thanks!

[@lynnoconnor3279]

Thanks for telling us the questions you go through in your mind to decide if you want to keep something like the vase!! That helps me when I can’t decide on something.

[@theperegrinecatholic2892]

Your channel is one of the few channels that I have found useful for my home. I’m expecting baby #5 so nesting instincts are kicking in again and I’m in decluttering mode! - I don’t ask my husband about tees. I just get rid of them. He rarely complains.

[@user-ev2bx1sf7k]

Love the 1 min mind set ... have been using it for years...when I reheat a cup of whatever the wait time is like a little competition with myself...how much of "whatever" can I declutter, etc. I kind of enjoy the accomplishment as I enjoy the hot brew. P.S. I use it for longer periods too..like something in the oven, a load of wash...the length of a miminal mom. Or p.s.s. micro snaps like if I'm going up/downstairs whatever can I bring to put away/take out This is also a favorite...if you use it tidy it i.e. toilet, sink, washer, drier, fridge, freezer (now if I could just get another family member to embrace that mindset ;)

[@daleplowman9646]

I love that you put your plastic bags in a drawer. I kept putting mine on the wall coat rack and it just looked so cluttered. Thanks

[@alexowen9919]

I’m moving in five months and I started watching your videos to help me declutter my life before the move. Two weeks in doing 5-10min daily declutters and I have already moved over 10 bags of trash and 20 boxes of donations out 🎉 I’m feeling so light, joyful, and motivated! Additionally, my 8yr old has started decluttering their things without me even prompting 😮 Thank you for all you have shared.

[@rebeccarendon2412]

As always- this was great! I thought 5 min matters was helpful - this is super helpful in this season!!! Thank you again, and God Bless you guys!!!:)

[@beloved339]

@TheMinimalMom - I love your shower curtains, in the bathroom where you did the decluttering in the shower too :) Thanks for the tips and for taking the time to make us all these helpful videos.

[@AmandaDobson-uv8wq]

I love my HealThy mouth blend- it can be used for so much more than just oil pulling!!! I brush with it instead of toothpaste. And my dentist said I basically don’t need to see her anymore since my teeth and gums are so healthy. I would encourage you to keep it! 😊

[@barbkandel777]

Great video, Dawn! What a difference a few minutes makes! We've been returning our vases to local flower shops, and they are so grateful for them. Just an idea.

[@Tcgolovies]

What comfort I feel when hearing you say “I really want that for you”. I know you mean it ❤

[@aspencordoba3204]

This reminds me Dawn when you cleaned out your t-shirt drawer and counted 50! That still blows my mind! Thanks for being transparent and honest! I love sharing your tips with people overwhelmed by their house! ❤

[@carla2012app]

I just did that with my pajama drawer===didn't find 50 but was willing to let go of things I had not worn in a very long time that were taking up space unnecessarily.

[@carypolakowski4817]

I’m confused about the Time will Tell bin. I thought it was for things you’d store until you realized you didn’t need it. It seems in this video that you are using it for storage especially in the bathroom. Did I misunderstand?

[@jackielyons2835]

Have been decluttering for a couple years now. So excited that I gave away my first full size tote today.

[@karenmathu]

That covered flower dish from your mom is so pretty. It would probably make a great butter dish on your countertop.

I love keeping my aloe in the fridge. So soothing for sunburns and it lasts forever.
