Let It Go - Why My MOM's DECLUTTERING

[@Pajexeter]

If the idea that women turn into their mothers is true, you are so lucky! I love watching the two of you interact as well.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Deborah! I am happy to turn into my mom =)

[@sonyachavez2018]

You said it perfectly. I loving watching when her mom is on also.

[@donnagrifford7142]

Yes, Yes, Yes! Luv Ur sweet Momma! 👏👏👏👍💞😘

[@shaunmcarthur745]

Shannon! I’m so glad you made this cute show! I am like your mom! I will buy two different sizes. I love the questions you asked your mom! I answered them in my mind too! I love that your mom lost some weight that is always fun! What a cute relationship you have with her!! Love you two! ❤❤❤

[@blessedforever3325]

I love watching the interactions. My mom and I have the same type of relationship and she is funny and cheerful like your mom. I love it if people say I’m like her.

[@laurelarmstrong4535]

Your mom is inspiring for we older women. She shows we can let things go and enjoy having only what we need and want.

[@lauriecampbell1378]

Love you and your mom's relationship! Makes me miss my daughter, she is 37, lives out of town, and I'm 60!

[@karenfisher5274]

Looks like Mom has been truly bitten by the decluttering bug! She has made so much progress. It helps having a minimal daughter. Kudos to you Mom! Great job! 👍🏻

[@shannontorrens1]

Yes! Thank you Karen! I hope you are doing well.

[@sherihepworth8253]

I agree that dejunking items makes them disappear from my memory.

[@wendys243]

I am so proud of your mom! There is so much freedom in getting rid of these unworn/unneeded items. Enjoy your curated drawers and closet space.

[@wendyhummel9600]

Your mom has really strengthened her decluttering muscles! Great job!

[@shannontorrens1]

I think so too!

[@kc3503]

You two crack me up! When your mom said short-shorts and you held them up and they unfolded into knee pants, I was relieved they didn't unfold a third time into capris, or a fourth time into high-waters.

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

👍👍👍👍👍 Your mom is awesome!

[@annblachly8068]

Some of the donation places will take worn out and stained clothes and cut them into rags for use as one use shop rags that clean up grease and shavings, plumbers' rags, etc. I do that for our farm shop.

[@danabrown2391]

As always, you and your mom working together on her home and clothes are the best! Part of me wishes she had been a REAL hoarder who has seen the light so we could see even more of you two!

[@denisecarter5117]

Me too.

[@solarhydrowind]

I love how you say, Shannon, that you made the best decision you could have made at that time...and to trust that decision to let something go!!

[@karladoyle6241]

A transformation before my eyes, so inspiring

[@chloeruegg2352]

As others have been commenting, I, too, love it when you and your mom are together. I’m in your mom’s age group and always love seeing how she’s dressed and how her hair is styled. 😊 She is so stylish and, yet, casual and real. Re this video: right on target for me today. I’m getting into my bra drawer and getting rid of the ‘good’ ones that were expensive but I haven’t worn because they ‘hurt.’ Thank you, thank you, thank you - because today you’ve given me permission to be reasonable with myself. ❤

[@shannontorrens1]

That is so good to hear! I am happy this inspired you to let go of those things that aren't working. I hope you have a nice day.

[@charishurt1768]

I need to do this too desperately 😩

[@jackeepea6069]

Interesting. Thanks for your feedback. J

[@willowgirl2635]

Great declutter, you are really on a roll now.

[@Laura55sere]

I am about to make a ‘Japanese ‘ style wrap around apron, on further inspection it somehow resembled the wrap around apron my mother and grandmother used to wear in the 40s and 50s, so yes I’m turning into my mother.

[@lauriecampbell1378]

That so resonates with me about holding on to things that don't work for me and then telling myself that I don't need anything else (that would work better for me.)

[@mangopuppybaby]

I love watching your mom declutter

[@pen5532]

Awesome progress!!!

[@Rachel_seethegoodandbeautiful]

You two are really inspiring! Glad to see the progress your mom has made in her mindset with stuff. She exudes joy and seems to be loving life with less stuff.

[@judyellen4412]

Hi Shannon’s Mom! Yes, it did help. I purged part of my underwear drawer in minutes! And, I hear you about the clothes with the plastic itchy thread. Ugggg. You go girl…and I will gladly watch and be motivated. Hi Shannon. I must say again that you two are fun to watch together. Have a great day!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Judy!

[@plantsbythemoon9049]

Great job mom! Good example of how we get stronger at making decluttering decisions as we go. So exciting! 👏

[@elisabethlasalle3529]

You girls are too funny! Love watching your journey of decluttering together. There are many of us, like your mom , who would wait for the “old” stuff to wear out before allowing ourselves to wear something new! What are we waiting for???Life is too short, and we’re not getting any younger! Lol

[@sarahpopovczak4411]

Would love to see a follow up with what gets added to replace the old/worn/unflattering/oversized pieces! Style inspiration is always fun 😄

[@sct4040]

This video remind me to use/wear all my nice things and not save them for later. There might not be a later and why shouldn’t I look nice now.

[@shannontorrens1]

Yes! Wear it now =)

[@donnagrifford7142]

Awesome video! When Ur READY 2 Let Go ........ Ur Ready!!! 👏👏👏👍💞

[@aimtok]

Way to go for your Mom! I always enjoying seeing her. That inspires me to look for more shirts to declutter. Keeping all these just in case items don’t serve us! Life is too short to put up with a scratchy shirt!

[@bearchild4352]

Thinx bras re also great. Catalyst sports bra is amazing!

[@shadegarden7375]

I’ve done one big clothes clean out…time for another! Good for you mama!!

[@lauramatsuyama9742]

I enjoy watching the two of you feed off of each other. seeing that you both have the declutter bug! it's wonderful!

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi 👋 how are you doing?

[@NLY1WAY4U]

Oh my, your Mom is me!!!! All her reasons for putting stuff for sometime? to back of drawer! And those hot jammies...bye, bye!!! Fun and encouraging! Thanks!

[@annfarrell6479]

Hooray for your mom! She is doing a great job. Shannon, you have shown us that in helping others, we need to respect that each one of us has their own timetable or comfort zone, if you will, in decluttering our belongings. Great video!👏🏻

[@MarielaMerino]

Thinking back to older videos of your mom decluttering vs where she is now is amazing. She sees the benefits of having less and so it's easier to let go! Keep it up, mom!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! I also see the difference in the last few years =)

[@jennybird2770]

Shannon- Your Mom is such as joy. Have a lovely day. :)

[@waterfallpeace8057]

I enjoy your Mom in your declutter videos. She is knowledgeable & fun to watch. It was nice to see her change her mindset from the past to now. I've recently donated shoes that were uncomfortable & painful for me but were so cute. Hopefully, someone will find them to thier liking instead of wasting space in our closet. Thanks for your videos. Love the videos of you & your Mom.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you for being here and sharing your decluttering wins!

[@jeannebowes2898]

Yea Mom! I will check out the Spanx as well.

[@luzking9487]

Thumps up. Glad I’m not the only one who keeps new clothing until the old ones fall apart. First time I’ve heard someone saying it out loud. Blessings

[@irenehinojosa6629]

Wow, I thought that was just me with the holes in my shirts. I 1st thought the washing machine was doing it until I saw they appeared in the same spot on all my shirts. I wish they would stop producing junk! Way to go ladies - get rid of what you don’t like or wear. ❤

[@shannontorrens1]

Yes! I also wish stores would produce more high quality clothing. Even expensive clothes still get these holes. I hope you are doing well

[@mariacabrera2850]

Wow! Your mom has really changed her mindset over her decluttering journey! She's just so adorable and makes me laugh🤗

[@glendaw5221]

Yay for momma!!

[@briashubert2489]

lol! when you two laugh i laugh! 😅

[@nancyfeeser4653]

I need to see ones like these. I need to go thru my closet again.

[@annblachly8068]

So much of how your mom thinks could be me at times. Especially lately about clothes. I did my closet again the other day in the middle of the night and filled a black garbage bag for donation.

[@gloriabatista8619]

your mom is too...funny! she is doing a great job decluttering!

[@jackeepea6069]

Oh....have I mentioned before? great 2.0 videos. You two REALLY show how it is a process! Thanks. (I'm off to visit my closet right now AGAIN!) ha

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

Thank you I love seeing your mom in this video 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you!

[@michelleneuman579]

I can relate on the shorts and the bras! I finally found Shapermint and love them! Great job mom!

[@clarisahernandez5280]

Your mom is such a good student of yours. In whisper voice "sometimes they have to think it's their idea".

[@christinaruiz4183]

Love seeing your Moms progress! It was almost like pulling teeth when she first started decluttering and now look at her! Great job! 👏👏

[@shannontorrens1]

Yes! Thank you!

[@ruthutter5017]

“It is yours!” ❤

[@kathleenj1158]

It's so freeing to declutter & not have to manage the extra inventory anymore. This was fun to watch. Especially with your mom here, too. Shannon, your videos just keep getting better & better. I get so excited when I see that there's a new one to watch. ☺🙋‍♀️

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi 👋 how are you doing?

[@selmat9155]

Wonderfull! Looking forward to more videos with closet organization 🙂Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina🥰🥰

[@carethahayes6765]

Watching you two makes me smile. I was really close to my mom.

[@jennyjenkins877]

Your mom caught the decluttering bug from you! Really though, it's so great when you finally get to that point of easily letting go of anything that you don't actually like to wear. At first, it's like pulling teeth and hard to get rid of anything but then you start to enjoy eliminating everything from your wardrobe that you don't want to wear. I was packing for a trip a couple of weeks ago and it turned into a full closet declutter. I love that it's more minimal and I feel no need to replace anything, just like your mom was saying.

[@kaycee625]

Look at that decluttering muscle!! It’s grown and grown. Well done Mother!!

[@shannontorrens1]

Hi Karen, I agree!

[@tracy11115]

Good for you Mom! 👏👏👏

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! 🤗

[@ash32458]

You both had me cracking up! I think this video is so relatable when decluttering wardrobes. At the beginning, it was hard for me to let go of items that I spent so much money on. However, it feels so good to let go of items that no longer make us feel confident or no longer fit comfortably. I’ve learned that we should all love every piece of clothing that we own.

[@rickgonzalez1218]

Deb here. I have the same problem with holes in my shirts. They make clothes so cheaply nowadays.

[@shannontorrens1]

Hey Deb! We constantly see this happening to all our shirts.

[@luciegallagher2710]

Oh my goodness, the two of you together are so inspirational. Well done ladies, you are both amazing xxx

[@laurasimpson7650]

Ok. Ok. Ok. I'm gonna do another hard pass through my closet. Drawers look spiffy and streamlined, but I can def do another pass through the hanging stuffs. Tks for the prompt, hons!

[@donnaerickson3059]

You two are great! My adult daughter hasn’t spoken to me in 1 1/2 years.

[@shannontorrens1]

Hi Donna, I am sorry to hear that.

[@sandihumeniuk4462]

Your mom is great! So funny! Your mom is just like mine when it comes to keeping things…the reasons she gives in why she has to save them. I’m slowly working on helping my mom let go of the things that she doesn’t use or the EXCESS! SO MUCH EXCESS!!

[@rosevv2774]

Great video with your mom. I recently decluttered my closet for the third time in the past year. It feels so good to not look at the things that I’d never wear or that were really old. I also let go of bras that were still nice, but not comfortable. Yeah Shannon’s mom! I think we could be friends! 😂

[@fwebster6226]

Your mum just cracks me up 😂

[@moniquefuselier7711]

Way to go Mom!!!!!!

[@bonessam9618]

Wow. Your mom did an awesome job! It feels so good to get rid of stuff that weighs us down.

[@shannontorrens1]

Yes it does!

[@authenticallyamber99]

Your mom is on a mission now! So fun to watch! 💝 I am forever purging/sifting/sorting. I find it’s really necessary every few months or so. Our needs change faster than we realize. Thank you for sharing. God bless!

Great declutter Mom! It’s been fun to watch and share in your journey

I’m also decluttering my closet & only keeping what I love right now. Thanks to you & mom 😊

[@annekent7350]

I do love the ones with you and your Mum together Shannon - she shows why you are so nice. And maybe I’m about the same age as her too, so maybe that makes it more fun for me.

[@bethanymills1945]

My husband does that, he likes to wear out clothing before moving on to nicer clothes.

[@ilanapeters4239]

Love the progress your mom has made over the years to how she thinks about her stuff! And it's so nice that you were able to help her get there!

[@shannontorrens1]

Yes! Thank you!

[@christined2495]

I enjoy seeing you together, reminds me of me and my daughter Your mom has become a minimalist, it starts when you first declutter and find the peacefulnesses it will bring

[@jillbruce3624]

You two have really gotten to me (especially Mom, as I am older) and have urged me on. Thanks and please keep posting.

[@connieclark3562]

Yes! Start with one thing! Or just take 5 minutes! It doesn’t have to be an overwhelming “project”

[@andeebee2530]

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe it, so much stuff! And doesn’t it feel great! Maybe Mum will be up for another layer of her cupboards and cabinets? It would be fun to watch and really interesting to see how differently she feels about some of the stuff she kept last time. I know for me each time around, more and more stuff goes.

[@shannontorrens1]

I feel the same way, it's like peeling an onion. Each year there are more layers going. I hope you have a nice day.

[@toniabarrett7920]

You two ladies make my day. I love your mom. I did a clean out 3 years when I move. I am always getting rid of something. Bless you guys.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much!

[@blessedforever3325]

I do think about some clothing items I decluttered but as Shannon pointed out there had to have been a good reason I did it. So have to just move on. I’m a bit more careful now and do use the time will tell system. My wardrobe is pretty small so it’s not a huge issue.

[@anitabudgets131]

It’s amazing how much she is letting go. I remember an old videos she wanted to keep a backup to the backup towels. 👏🏻

[@shannontorrens1]

So true! It's amazing how things have changed.

[@juliab628]

It's because of you, Shannon! Your Mom has seen you do this and because you gave her a boost to get started, it just took off. This feels so relatable. I used to think just as Kathy used to 🤔 ...I better save it just in case, and definitely I better save it until I wear the first one out. I still have to remind myself, " Wear that... it doesn't matter if you wear it .. enjoy it, every day is a special day!" And it's true, once you start it's like the ball just keeps rolling. For me, sometimes I will just be doing something such as exercising and I'll close my eyes and think, "do I have anything in my sleep drawer that I don't like?" and I'll be able to picture just what's in there and think of something in particular and as soon as I get off the exercise bike, it's out of there haha Love ya'll. Yes, this is real life. The scratchy stuff, just all of it. And yes..there WAS a reason why we let each of those items go. This video will be a great help to many ;)

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Julia! I used to always save my clothes for special occasions. I remember as a teenager having tags on clothes hanging in my closet because I never had the special day to actually wear the item. How crazy is that LOL. Now when I buy something I take the tag off right away, wash the item and start wearing it. Why wait... I hope you are having a nice day!

Go Kathy!

[@jenniferbarney4220]

[@MaximusG6]

Well done! I know the urge of "saving stuff or clothes for whatever". The tip that helped me is the sentence: USE YOUR STUFF! It's so much fun kind or allowing yourself actually using your things. This also helps the too-much-buyers too...bevor you buy any new item: USE YOUR STUFF! 😉

[@shannontorrens1]

I love that saying! Thank you for sharing =) Great tip!

[@joannevans2505]

Way to go, Mom!

[@aprilstar33]

You and your mom have inspired me to get back up and declutter again. I stopped my decluttering process months, ago. Two deaths in my family make it plain that possessions aren’t important. Thank you.

[@shannontorrens1]

Oh I am sorry to hear that. I hope you are ok.

[@aprilstar33]

@@shannontorrens1 Thank you.

[@labradorite8256]

I think what happens is as you get older time speeds up and suddenly you realise it's been 10 years or more since you wore something (at least that's what's happened to me 🤣). Then you realise that it came from a different stage of your life and it's just not you anymore. Sometimes things no longer fit, but you wouldn't wear it even if it did fit. I've been decluttering for a while but it might be time for another major clothes purge. Some I've been hanging onto for the weight loss. Ah, that old chestnut I hear you say. Truly I really do need to lose quite a bit for health. But, thinking about some of my items, I'm not sure I'd wear them anyway.

[@labradorite8256]

You won't believe what I just did. Culled 2 wardrobes by almost half! Started with the back up wardrobe and as you say, got on a roll and did the main one!! Going by the coathangers there were approx 50 items went. More than I'll ever wear. I've culled before, it's not new to me. But after watching your Mum it was never this easy before. I was so decisive. Please tell her thank you for allowing us to see that, and thank you for facilitating this.

[@kathyol]

@@labradorite8256 You're welcome! You've inspired me to go through my clothes again to get ready for Spring! I still have items that I have held on to and I think it's time to let them go. We all inspire each other. Kathy (Shannon's mom)

[@labradorite8256]

@@kathyol well it was meant to be because the very next day was a charity clothes collection in my suburb that I didn't even know about. I was still running out the next morning adding to the bags before the truck came! So instead of sitting on the porch for a couple of weeks until somebody got around to carting them away, they're already gone. No backing out now lol.

[@jackeepea6069]

Yeah, I'm your mom's age and have no idea how to do "telegram" but I'm sure someone else would enjoy my prize! Glad you appreciate my comments! Love you AND your mom! And one more thing that I really enjoy about the two of you, again, is the fact that you keep de-cluttering more and more. It is not a one trick pony for sure! ha (love that phrase, but hardly get to use it!) J
