Creating A Self-Care Bathroom Sanctuary... Decluttering & Organizing my Bathroom from Zero!

[@owlstoathens2265]

Dear Lauren, I just want to tell you that this video kinda broke my heart in the best possible way. You brought such openness and honesty to a type of video that is too often pure disassociated fantasy. I have loved your work for a few years, and this video really brought home why I am such a big fan. You showed your viewers such authentic humanity here. Thank you so much for being yourself, for being brave enough to be so open. Please know that the work you do is deeply meaningful and important. You have literally made my life better, made it easy for me to access moments of real happiness. Thank you, thank you. 💕

[@bridget663]

Normalize just okay bathrooms!! 😉 My bathroom is barely okay. Having a rough week, looking forward to organization inspo for the weekend!

[@YuckyMama]

Serious kudos to you for celebrating your bathroom space, making it your own without spending $100K on it. I’m sort of sickened by the current trend to completely trash a fully functional but 20 year old kitchen/bath because someone doesn’t vibe with oak cabinets-they must be ash (that they then paint 🤡)!!! The same people who crow about their carbon footprint, electric cars-but then trash a functioning room because it’s not 150% their vibe…the level of “first world problems” in social media is disheartening. Thanks for keeping it realistic!

[@YuckyMama]

@KJ I don’t think I’ve ever heard Lauren trash anyone on her channel. On the other hand, *I* was being critical of people who do to-the-studs knock-down renovations on perfectly good rooms just because the room isn’t 3000% what they want; while crowing about it on social media like *everyone* can afford a $35K bathroom renovation the moment they take the keys. People can spend their money how they please, but personally, I’m much more impressed & inspired by super-creative, economical & environmentally friendly updates rather than money-is-no-object tear downs. *This is my opinion lol*

[@joyousenoful]

@KJ the “trashing” in the original comment was about literally demolishing something, not trashing other people

[@The3GMom]

YES! I almost hate the DIY shows because of the same reason! I’d rather have food on the table and my bills paid instead of a socially acceptable decorated house.

[@theanonsisters]

@@joyousenoful exactly??

[@jenniferwright8355]

Well said!

[@lmullens75]

I love the "real-ness" of this kind of video. I have always thought that in your makeup videos you look so perfect and put together - I forget that most of you youtubers are normal people. It's nice to see you without makeup and with a real bathroom like the rest of us who aren't millionaires have. LOVE this so much!

[@traceymathias7432]

I NEVER watch home makeover videos because I hate watching the unachievable level that are shown, I made an exception because I love you and your content and so glad I did, your home is beautiful, quirky and achievable to the normal everyday person and now I love you even more ❣️

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

Yes! Let's normalise making the best of older bathrooms and kitchens, and any other room for that matter. My house is fairly old and a doer upper. We've been here 4 years and have acheived ZERO renovation due to lack of large amounts of funds, health issues etc. But we can still have things organised and looking homely. If it takes til we are retired to be renovated, I'll be fine, it's a home not a show. Great video Lauren, love your approach to this! And it looks fantastic! 💎💎💎

[@Tracylyn42]

I’m happy to see you are a regular girl with a regular house like the rest f us and you show it to us. Makes me feel better about how I live. Lol god job Lauren

[@MidnightMajesty]

love this genuine bathroom tour/makeover! So much more realistic and I love how the small things like the marble mask shelf just add that extra touch :)

[@kubrab.akkaya6340]

Seconded on the marble shelf, it is so pretty! ☺️

[@starlightvampire]

I was having some serious anxiety just now and really needed something to watch. So grateful for the timing

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

I am sorry you are having anxiety right now!! I hope you can feel better soon!! :)

[@elizabethlarson-dipippo8190]

❤️❤️❤️

[@turtledove8386]

I love your sense of style! So refreshing to see actual color in someone’s home not just beige, white and grays.

[@kelkonmiller]

This is my favorite video in the internet. Maybe an old school skin care video?? I miss those so much!!!

[@debralecuivre3366]

Never apologize for being you. You are a lot more relatable than you think!

[@RGJenn]

omg, the ASMR of your breakfast prep! Impeccable.

[@dreadanettles]

Best of luck with your PCOS diagnosis! I’ve been dealing with it for 8 years and the facial hair is a struggle. I feel you!

[@shejoh100]

I have really enjoyed seeing you love yourself lately. You deserve it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cozydrm]

Omg Lauren you are so cool 😭❤️ It is so heartening to see a regular person being a regular person on the internet. Love your authenticity. Thank you for existing ❤️

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

This was so wonderful! I absolutely adore your vlog style content. 👌🏻 And your bathroom came out so great! 💜🌻🦋✨

[@GreenVenus]

You putting your hair clip on the shelf pole was so relatable 😆 I have them clipped to random things all over my house

[@debralecuivre3366]

Love my time with my totally relatable, beautiful, and very talented friend.

[@amandas.2745]

Understand Pcos totally been battling it since I was diagnosed in my early 20's in my early 40's now, It's a battle deciding between fighting it tooth& nail vs just saying f**k it and just letting it have its way! Every woman has to decide that on her own no one way is right or wrong. I know woman in both camps ones who say I can't change it so weight gain, hair issues, hormones, depression can't be changed, but personally believe if I'm willing to fight it I will, I'm100% a fighter! I fight the weight gain, cysts, insulin resistance, the hair growth issues, the depression and anxiety that comes with. Its a struggle but it's do able! So hang in there you aren't alone.

[@emaly997]

I'm 3 minutes in and just need to say how much I love you Lauren!!

[@asimplelife1486]

No sorries needed. Most of us have bathrooms like yours. Let’s celebrate this xxx.

[@biogirl1381]

i loved that you did this. i wish i could do something like this but we only have one bathroom.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Omg thank you for normalizing NORMAL bathrooms!!! 🙌🏻🛁

[@katjones4840]

That Dove body scrub is perfection. 🎉

[@hoflandmm]

Organization videos are so satisfying

[@percysir23]

Love the Emperor’s New Groove quote!

[@richardwright9292]

Normal bathroom goals 💖 These vlogs are so much more inspiring/motivating to me, especially as a disabled person who does not have a ton of energy or money. Organised all my little storage bins whilst watching this 🙌

[@liviacraftsandbooks]

I just watched your last month video about organizing your makeup and shopping your stash to help me get motivated to do the same and then you uploaded this video too! Thank you so much ☺️

[@Rforsch1]

Great video! A real person bathroom makeover!

[@theopiated]

in times of anxiety, both organizing and watching people organize is such a good distraction. I’m in a pretty deep pit of grief over my father’s death but really found this video helpful and soothing 🖤

[@AyValley]

Everything about this is good. Thanks Lauren 😊👏

[@marissaho2576]

I also struggle with plantar fasciitis! Rolling my feet on a lacrosse ball helps a ton. But for house shoes I swear by Oofos (I think that’s how you spell it). I got them at a local running store, they are specifically recovery/injury slides/flip flops that are ridiculously cushioned

[@soak785]

Love how you set everything up.... So organized! Thanks for the inspo❤️!

[@moriganna67ify]

I have Plantar Fasciitus too. It hurts more than a broken foot. I have Sketchers with memory foam with support in my arch and toes. They were expensive however so so comfy. My cat uses them as pillows and has bent the back 😆.

[@lamsing6090]

Watching you organize your bathroom has inspired me to do the same. Having just come back from visiting family, there's no more excuse not to do this job (dbl negative??). Marie Kondo, here I come!

[@alcnwonderlnd]

I love you incorporate color, it looks so fun and cozy! My bathroom is my sanctuary and it makes me happy every time in in it

[@magicaltreefarm]

Very inspiring!! I have a very cluttered and under utilized counter that could use an upgrade. Project for next weekend on the list 😁

[@R.L.Maverick]

Yes! The Hoka Stinson’s saved my feet from plantar fasciitis. Another tip, where slippers around the house! It helps so much!

[@pretelquetzal]

Definitely keep the blow dryer attachments! I got curtain bangs last year and suddenly started using an attachment I've never needed to blow dry them. Always good to have around

[@rachelmgilbert]

yessss i always love vlogging lauren and getting to see some of your decor it's always so cute

[@hoflandmm]

I found the colors aesthetically pleasing. The blue in your eyes correlated with the orange, and teals in your bathroom. Very nice!

[@marcelafranklin2429]

loved seeing a little bit of your morning routine and all the bathroom organization lauren !!! 🫶🏻💜

[@georgiem8493]

I *LOVE* this style of video! Cutting the apple and taking us along for the project! I love watching these kinds of videos - these are the kind I click right away, watch, and then when I need a friend to help me do my own projects I click on and have it play as I work :) Thank you for taking the time to film this for us, Lauren.

[@genb_genbeauty]

Love this so much!!! Thanks for showing the real real 💕 Love that you start with a walk. I need to do that more! Wishing you well on your diagnosis and treatment and hope you enjoy your sanctuary. It’s well deserved.

[@SaraJean336]

I am obsessed with your decorating style!! Also more vlog style videos please! I’m really enjoying it!!

[@NeaB22]

This was so relaxing 💗 ALSO I quote that line from Emperor's New Groove all the time and no one gets it so I feel seen

[@pretelquetzal]

I'm 3 minutes in and I'm loving this video so much. Thank you for letting us hang out with you for a day ❤️

[@Brigitte_Cantin]

Good for you! That is so awesome 😍 I am waiting desperately for our bathrooms to be renovated (the only thing left to do in our house since we bought it) for me to do a video like yours because it is NOT functional lol, the only thing that is is the medicine cabinet that hubby got me from IKEA where I only have face products in. (Never store meds in a hot and humid room) I'm so jealous you were able to organize everything, I'm so happy for you 😍 I also hope you are doing better day by day, one day at a time. Sending love and hugs your way 😍😘💖😘💖

[@debrawells-hopey1980]

loved this!! Inspired me to reorganize my own "normal person" bathroom! 😊

[@LesleePetersen]

Hey! As someone with PCOS and lots of the PCOS chin and facial hair I wanted to share that buying an epilator was among the best things I've found for it! Since my facial hair grows quickly, very much like men's, I don't get the 2-4 weeks that non-pcos people say they do but I def get a couple days and it's pretty fast and more environmentally friendly. Only downside is it's uncomfortable at first. I also have the rose gold leaf and love it! ❤️

[@LesleePetersen]

I got the Braun Silk Epil 5 which was the highest in my price range and from what I've read everything upwards is much less painful. Lots of people recommend the Silk 9 iirc

[@jenniferpearmain9557]

I really enjoyed this video! Would love to see more in this sort of vlog style from you 🥰. A plant would look really cool on the counter to the right of your makeup.

[@jlozo7160]

I love the "masking station". This is such a great ideas because I always forget about the masks I have opened if I don't see them.

[@Wmr614]

I spy that Fab Fit Fun body scrubber!! I have one and I love it!

[@nancybarrett6266]

Tks for sharing I really appreciate it so much so I'll probably work on getting products rounded up in order. Have ya'll consider trimming out the bathroom mirror any big box home improvement will cut it two the correct size it's so easy to attach even for rental just in case . 😉

[@aliciadreis8741]

Girlllll I love this vlog style video format for you!

[@allisontruj7601]

I also love the Leaf razor, but have found that it doesn't work on my face (I get PCOS thick face hairs lollllll). I ended up buying a safety razor that also uses the same recyclable razor inserts--I found a cute rose gold one on amazon that matches the Leaf razor so they look cute on my counter lol! I low key feel like it gives me a cleaner shave than men's disposable razors used to!

[@kaitlinbeste]

Ah that is so weird! I moved in to like our dream home now and it's older quarky not all remolded but it's on a lake and was the most I think I would ever want to spend on a home soo sticking with things as they are for a while. I agree it's still worthwhile to make it yours

[@hillshounds]

My bathroom is very small. There's no room for any sort of sanctuary. :( That's kind of weird that you don't have a full-size tub -- there's room for it, but the builder or whoever opted for that wee RV-sized one. I'm with you on the facial hair. So much hair, except for on top of my head!

[@blushface]

Jealous!! How nice to have a spot for that specifically 🥰☀️

[@TashLife870]

I had plantar fasciatis and I found that rolling a massage ball under my soles before taking my first steps after bed or even sitting for a period was a big help

[@jessicawidboom9345]

Where is the crystal tray that you used for your masking station from?? It’s so cute!

[@makeupandthemundane]

Where did you get the geode tray from?? This was such a huge thing to tackle, hopefully you can have your sinktuary back lol.

[@ambrielledani521]

*Lauren commenting on her bathroom * Me being jelly of her counter space and tub 🥺 lol I have a stand in shower and a podium for a sink 😑

[@pastelpink1234]

I always dreamt about having lots of make up and skin products but I don't think i would ever need this much! 😅

[@sparklequeen2987]

loving the vloggy syle!!

[@angelicahorsman5439]

I have the strongest urge to fill those ledges on the side of the tub with soo many plants

[@amymccall5263]

I’m so proud of you for doing the things!!!

[@tdsollog]

Awesome transformation. 🌹😎

[@carlycompositions2323]

Legit never this early! I love you and your videos lauren! I love your makeup recommendations and style. I really appreciate all the hard work you put in your swatch videos. Please do more palettes dupes with your singles! ;)

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️ I will definitely try to get more palette dupe videos up soon!!

[@amymccall5263]

CBD bath bombs are the most amazing thing ever!!! Take that one on your friendcation

[@KellyBean510]

How do you like the cbd hempz lotion? I keep going back and forth in picking it up

[@lydiaerickson3731]

I’m so glad you decided to do this video. I constantly go to your videos to just relax or to send back out if I can’t sleep and I’ll add this one to this list.

[@pauwula]

Plsssss the neon sign that says "pee pee poo poo" 💀😂 I love it so much

[@ajdaughe2873]

Love. This. Video!

[@heartsdeprived]

Finally a bathroom that looks like mine

[@pixidanberty5530]

My dog ate my flat bristled brush! 😡 When I watch you it helps me forget my problems.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CrystalLynnBeauty]

I love my Hokas! we have the exact same color way!

[@LoveHeatherette]

Love this video! Girl that ikea shelf looks perfect!

[@christineyoung6463]

So fun!! And no judgment here..my daughter is 32 and my hair brush is as old as her! I love it so much and of course they don’t sell it anymore :(

[@miera7888]

I've been looking into plastic free for hair remover too- I've been contemplating getting an IPL to see if it works so I don't have to shave very much. It's just suuuuuch a steep price. But worth it compared to laser hair removal. Idk something to think about

[@mgromz]

Hoka shoes are wonderful if you have any foot pain. They’ve recently upgraded their designs too!!

[@hoflandmm]

Thanks Lauren

[@DrDaniOT]

Clicked immediately! All the right words in the title 💖

[@DrDaniOT]

Oooh! & the ASMR Apple guuurl 🙏🏼🥳🎉

[@marymack3276]

Fun video ! 🙂🙂

[@BrittanyC1986]

Tell me that neon sign says pee pee poo poo in your first bathroom clip I will just dieeeeeee 😭🤣🤣🤣

[@moonflower1616]

I am so fucking happy you dropped an Ezma quote. Emperor's New Groove is one of my favorites. XDDD 😆💯❤

[@londonfalling77]

Laughing over the neon light in your bathroom, is there a link for it?

[@Joanacaselani]

A neon sign in the bathroom! How cool 😍

[@inlando3930]

I think your bathroom is awesome. The only thing I could think to add was maybe a half patrician wall between the tub and toilet.

[@roxanneviews2]

I looked up the planter thing,my feet have been hurting over a year idk why I asked my Dr he's stumped dnt know if he believes it but what causes it? And the pcos I think I might have that ,do u think the 2 are connected???? I hear u with the facial hair....

[@lydiaerickson3731]

NOT AN EMPERORS NEW GROOVE REFERENCE

[@SofiaCavalcante]

Hey girl, hair brushes look like this if you dont wash them, use the rat tail comb to pull out old hair and then just soak them in a little water soap and vinegar, your brushes will be okay. I'm black and because i use a lot of creams and gels i wash my brushes every three days and my hair brushes last for over 5 years, so they can take it lol

[@halcyonmoon]

ugh this makes me miss having my own bathroom I have to share one so I don't really put anything in there...it's all in my bedroom which I'm not a fan of but I can't do anything about it is it weird to enjoy strange structural bits of (normal people) bathrooms like that tub counter idk the strangeness is so charming /positive tone I should probably clarify that I like your bathroom!

[@christyfielding7498]

Hey not all bathrooms are nice. Mine still has the light blue 70s type tub and sink. And it is definitely not the prettiest. But I have all my shelves added with my skin and body care stuff set up. It's not the most beautiful thing to look at but it makes me happy to walk in and see all my stuff when I walk in there.

[@pattyelaine9563]

Great video. Thanks for doing your part to normalize being normal and not bougie.

[@KC-mw3rp]

Thank you!

[@Randilynn66]

I bought a pair of Hoka but then I returned them because I love my Rykas is much better for walking and they’re way less expensive.

[@WolffBlurr]

For anyone else in the comments that suffers from plantar fasciitis but cant buy expensive exercise shoes, i got a lot of relief by using toe stretchers! mine are from a brand called “yoga toes” and they helped a lot! I think mine were about $30-$40. Not that cheap, but still less than the shoes

[@kaitlinbeste]

If you do have pcos get you some Metformin! It was the best thing they ever have me you have to ask for it though some are more enthused

[@amberbernstein385]

I love my metformin!
