This has really transformed my life! Massive Closet Declutter and transformation

[@canncor3]

So motivating!! And nice to see a declutter/reorganize that didn't require $200 worth of matching bins to look good!!!

[@lizharley5723]

I love this quote: "If you're not using the stuff in your home, get rid of it. You're not going to start using it more by shoving it in a closet somewhere". Congrats on your transformation, I enjoyed your video. Keep it up!!!!

[@bornagainchristian3742]

Well this is an Amen or Ouch quote😂

[@susanwelch9496]

That clothing could bless women in shelters that are trying to make a new life for themselves.

[@AlexaLikes]

This is fantastic! And I totally related to what you said in the beginning, as the quote says “everything is hard before it is easy.” - Goethe

[@fayettefavors5472]

I HOPE i can declutter my closet- thanks for the inspiration 😅😅

[@pamelacallaway3922]

I remember the Limited. That shop had a lot of nice clothes and accessories.

[@PiscesRus]

Finally a closet I can relate to lol. Mine looks like this or worse. The time has come 😩

[@organizerofthingsandstuff]

Im a professional organizer and you did so good. It is perfect, perfect for you and that is all that matters. you’re blessed to be a blessing!

[@craftsbycarmen]

When you said you felt like you did so much and absolutely nothing at the same time I felt that in my spirit.. that is me everytime I try to tackle my clutter.😢

[@thatwendygirl68]

Again, inspiring!! "No part of me wants to do this". I feel this so much about the clutter. I'm going to get moving on my clutter TODAY because of you!!!

[@KellyJelly9976]

This came out so well!! I love the fact that when you showed us the 9 bags that you decluttered you said that you were immediately going to take the bags out of the house. I think that's where a lot of us go wrong - we don't get the bags out of the house which can sometimes rob you of the sense of accomplishment because the stuff is still in the house. Thanks for sharing.

[@elizabeth1758]

Or you end up going back through it and picking the odd bit out!! 🙄😭🤣

[@Acid_Amber]

For the hair stuff you could get hair bags that come with hangers to help with some of it. They're not too expensive on Amazon. Basically suit bags but for hair. :)

[@jodyrightnow]

Proud of you! One of my phrases for this year is: just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. ❤

[@simonedebtfreemomma7672]

Congratulations 🎊 I understand! Been there with 2 girls and a boy! I’m taking notes!

[@MsBettyRubble]

I loved The Limited. So sad when it closed. You've done such a great job. I'm starting my closet declutter today. I'm both scared and excited.

[@sheamom]

i'm at 11:21, when I get frustrated or overwhelmed - wanting to stop- I take the trash out, and bag up the donations. take them down to the car. you'll see what's leaving as you fill the car! you'll come back to empty space! it's really inspiring and exciting.

[@angeladawson8424]

You did a great job reducing your closet. I have been watching a few of your decluttering videos and I am enjoying them all.

[@miss_e23]

The most relatable and realistic declutter video I’ve ever seen. I have to figure out my hair products and piles too. Can’t part with them yet lol! Thank you so much for sharing this. Now I’m a new fan and follower. 😊

[@elisahamilton73]

Clothing i wear only at certain times of the year i put into vacuum bags. Sometimes clothes sitting around for a long time have a smell and need to be rewashed to wear.

[@KISSmartie]

Jia, I'm sure there are many of us here who are really proud of you! You did remove a lot! Great job, it is not easy to let go of things for so many reasons. Thank you for the inspiration to do it. 😊 Love this curly/wavy look on you too! ❤

[@amatullahsaafir685]

I'm about to tackle my closet and i needed inspiration and i found it. Let's do this!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@leeandpatch8848]

I’m impressed! You should feel proud of yourself!

[@Sparklesuz]

Happy Mother's Day ! Just want to tell you how much I appreciate your REAL LIFE project, and how inspired I am. You go girl !!

[@mylifeinrealtime]

AMEN! I have to tell myself that the woman I am striving to become would not subject herself to this!

[@secretheiress]

Jia, girl- I feel so validated right now! I feel like my closet is total chaos, when in reality there's no house with proper storage. I'm in the same boat- I do my own nails, my own hair, waxing, etc. but there's nowhere to put things without my closet looking like a flea market! Like you, I've been on the purging/decluttering kick this year but I know there's still so much left to do and it's really overwhelming. Props to you!

[@aleinad4522]

Don't feel bad ,many of us have the same issues. I heard a lady saying "for every new item for the closet ,one has to go".I should do that too.

[@dqjmfdpntm8447]

Proud of you💪🏾 I done mine and I feel pretty good about it. but I am done with it, iam gonna make the second round, because I want it more minimalist. Take care from a parisian woman💋

[@thoughtsofhamp8692]

Hi there... Can you say "New York and Company/Lerner's" was THE JAM for corporate America. I miss those stores!!!

[@normasubia6807]

Yes Lerner’s!!!

[@lizharley5723]

The 3 phases of life: 1. WANT STUFF 2. ACCUMULATE STUFF 3. GET RID OF STUFF.

[@CarolinaDorrough]

I'm so happy to see progress! I would add that those belongings you are not ready to let go, you can put on a "time will tell" bin. If you don't touch it or remember what is in it, it goes directly to donation.

[@michellejennings4259]

1st time watching... this was impressive on the before and after. ❤

[@alittlemother]

I loved The Limited when I was working!

[@louanneschrader769]

I just can't believe you have a closet that is bigger than my whole bedroom. Lucky you.

[@adrian_isolde]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the emergency-pack of hangers ❤❤❤

[@stellabobbins5226]

Good heavens, what a huge cupboard, that’s the same size as a third bedroom here in the UK

[@joannemuturi_purposecultivator]

Exactly what I was thinking!! Our tiny British rooms!

[@storminight]

Really Girl! Look at Dana K White! She’s all about not making a mess while declaring!!!! You are doing a great job! And it’s so motivating! Great job!!!!

[@Faithy100]

Girl I laughed so much watching this!!so relatable!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sharonsomers5513]

Closet looks good. Decluttering can be very overwhelming,but the end result is so worth it.

[@bessburkhardt2093]

Rock Star!!! I’m helping my daughter with her closet right now. And I’m with you it’s so hard to keep pushing.

[@ZaitlynMack]

You can use those cloth bags for groceries. Their espically helpful when carrying milk.

[@jaynesmith2318]

Looks great, but you should put all the salad dressings, mustard sauces etc together on the doors, so it would save time looking for the one you want and prevents having multiples opened of the same item

[@tmfields2011]

Thank you for sharing. I have been needing to do it too in several areas of my home and I just … you know. But this was so helpful. 😊

[@camis.1347]

Hi Jia! Great job and yes God wants us to be people of order as He is a God of order. Also being good stewards of what He blesses us with is important. Also, a smart tip for luggage is to store other bags in there when you're not packing/traveling like duffel bags, purses, backpacks, knapsacks, etc. in case you hadn't thought of that. You had a ton of bags girl! Thank you for donating stuff instead of trashing it. I have seen soooo many videos or talked to people and they just throw away usable stuff, like it just disappears into the abyss. Nope, it sits in a landfill. Yessss to the Batman tee and Marvel fan here too. God bless!!

[@momacdonald1]

All your videos of cleaning out got me so motivated. Hubs and I cleaned out the closets over the last couple of weeks. Sooooo many bags donated, 'missing" items found, and the ridiculous number of duplicate items in my closet...thank you so much for putting yourself out there because it has motivated many of us to join you!!!!

[@MarriageMotherhood]

This is awesome girl! We got this

[@BREE1126]

@@MarriageMotherhood Hi, where did you find that brown shoe rack organizer in your closet?

[@CaliSmithFamily]

Landed on your video first as I’m trying to motivate myself to tackle the dreaded closet. Great real life scenario. Thanks for sharing! We will get to that IKEA closet someday…. Right there with you 😜

[@marcelamendoza7654]

I always try to spring clean my closet twice a year after summer and after winter

[@cecigrey3900]

Thank you for the motivation this is seriously so much like my closet it’s crazy !

[@ktrayan1]

This is the hard thing about building a home you stay in for years and years! I never had a lot of stuff until we settled down and now I feel like a hoarder 🤣🤣 A blessing and a curse 😁

[@rickismith1259]

You did a really good job. I felt you when you wanted to quit. It feels good to start but figuring out how to organize and throwing things out can be a challenge. It gets so overwhelming but the end result is rewarding

[@dorcas.smiles]

I just tackled my closet in my room, which is two built-in wardrobes that go from the ceiling to the floor and take up a wall. I have four trash bags of old clothes that are going out. I'm embarrassed, but extremely good to see space in my closet. I have been putting this off. But today, I came across a video about the Swedish death cleaning and it was inspiring enough to make me get up and at least start. I'm so happy to have decluttered my room today. It feels so very great and it didn't take anywhere as much time as I would have thought. I'm on a mission to live more simply. After I watched that video, yours came up and so I'm watching it now. Next, I will tackle my daughters' closets to declutter and get rid of things. They have entirely too many toys and just things.

[@shayshay80808]

I had that same purple coach purse. I gave it away to my mom when I decluttered. 💜

[@suestor5510]

I remember The Limited!! Loving this video and will head over to my closet in a few minutes!!

[@jadejade5303]

Declutter closet can be very overwhelming , when i first started declutter my closet it took me days just to get rid of a few things then i just put most of the stuffs back to where they were. It took me years to get rid of 75% of what i own. I think you did a great job!!!

[@pen5532]

Super motivating! I have a small bin for Disney only clothing:). Also, I am a Business Professor and there are so many women that need professional attire and there are organizations out there that need clothing to be able to help all the women. .

[@MsYoast]

"I feel like I've done so much and nothing at the same time" I can relate to this on so many levels. Good to see you girl! Long time since I've commented!!! ❤

[@suzannegerstner2841]

Recently retired, I hear you on the corporate America clothes! You go girl!

[@BrielleTruthTalks]

I wanted to truly thank you for your openness and vulnerability in making this video! Myself (and so many others) are right there with you on how much stuff has piled up and it’s suffocating! I am a Amazon Vine reviewer and get 8 free products a day if I want which has been a blessing and curse since I already had problems my entire life having too many clothes and “stuff” and this has just added to the problem! But I have watched your video and it gave me the motivation to start the process of decluttering and minimizing and continue to push forward until it’s complete! It’s been almost my entire life I’ve always had to many clothes and now at age 37 (and thanks to your video) I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY purged my clothes and I have an organized everything and room feels AMAZING! I’ve watched countless of other videos, but yours was the one that just clicked something inside of me and ignited my motivation! So thank you thank you thank you! And you did such a wonderful job with your space!!!

[@Vefalove90]

OMG Limited Express!!! So nostalgic! ♥️

[@bmcdonald7303]

I for one and not judging you. I feel the same as you about striving to become the ikea container girl where it’s all organized. Thanks for helping others.

[@annettekelley1035]

Oh my goodness you're a gift from our Father! Thank you so much. I have looked at a lot of video to declutter. Your video is more like me and how I am when I tackle a stressful task. You made something so overwhelming, less stressful, and doable. I asked the angels to send a video to me that is more like who I am. My prayers were answered. Thank you for sharing. You have me motivated. ❤

[@ddet4913]

LOVED the Limited!! My daughter kept one maternity shirt to prevent pregnancy :)

[@deannaw9657]

Jia!!! I am feeling you on SO many levels!! Corporate America!!! 30 years of my life until I got sick and couldn't keep it up. Had SO MANY THINGS that were so HARD to let go of. 😢 They were part of a walk in closet that I was forced to downsize due to a move to a very small apartment. It just broke my heart. But I DID THE THING!! And four years later, im still working on it. Better is always better. You did amazingly well. Keep peeling that onion and I'll be here cheering you on!! ❤

[@gerthealshanks1194]

Hello Jia, for hair organization just a suggestion, my grandmother growing up used to keep all her hair in a suitcase to keep it organized and contained and labeled that suitcase as the hair suitcase. I do this method to this day to keep all my synthetic and human hair organized.

[@alakazoola1]

A classic example of how much stuff can take up our time X

[@ItsCynthiaMisagreeable]

Love this real life

[@jessicaf7236]

Good on you for taking the time and putting in the effort to make your space match your needs and vision!! Hopefully it makes your life better from here on out :)

[@hannahsauer7804]

I bet it felt like Christmas decluttering that! You did amazing! My favorite videos of yours!! 🥰

[@MarriageMotherhood]

Yes! It’s so nice!

[@SunnyDoesLife]

I’m trying to get my energy up so I can tackle my closet also. Thanks for the motivational video 😅

[@babs629]

Thank You Sweetheart! I needed this. 🥰

[@Y3w3lz]

Starting is always the hardest step. Piece of advice for the stuff that you are unsure of, put them in a tub or a box and put a deadline on the top... if you dont reach for anything in that box within the period of time you gave yourself you can just grab the container and donate everything. That's what has worked for me when I find myself hesitanting while decluterring. Plus you did a good job pushing through the decision fatigue, that's definitely something to be proud about.

[@kurifurinkan]

every time i watch one of your videos, i go and make something else in my house pretty. it never fails.

[@MarriageMotherhood]

😘😘😘

[@dwillardo6119]

Great job!! Your closet looks so much better but how you feel about yourself and what you did is the real joy!!! Love you girl ❤

[@MsSassyMT]

Get a clear bin for the hair so it will be contained in one location and you'll be able to see it. This will also help you have a confined amount of space for it so that you don't buy outside of that dedicated space. For all of the travel items, set up a travel location. We initially had travel items all over and it was a nightmare when getting ready to travel. I took one of the entryway closets and turned it into a travel closet. Luggage on the bottom, travel bags on top and we have another shelf that I added to hold bins with small travel items. I'm slowly working on my closet. Kudos to you.

[@keeshab1173]

Well done 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks for the motivation 😊

[@GrammyChrissy]

I'm so proud of you. This is the first, you alone video, I've seen where you aren't, sorry not sorry, whining about being overwhelmed/ decision fatigue. 🎉🎉 I was always cheering you on to keep going. And was frustrated when you stopped. It looks amazing!!!

[@sylviagray4206]

Great job!

[@gloriaflannigan]

A much needed video. I'm inspired 😊

[@budgetingcouponinganddebt8079]

Love you seeing you flex your decluttering muscles by yourself. You did a great job. So proud!

[@lynlong1292]

I know exactly how you feel. I found it easy having empty LABELED bins with, Have no idea/ not sure, Purge, Goodwill is a start. Thank You, your video modivated me.

[@karengreene1999]

I often think what you said, “There is NO part of me that wants to do this”. It really does feel extra good after those things are done.

[@sueworland5618]

Great job! Just something which might help is to reverse all of your hangers. Once you wear an item then turn the hanger back the right way. After an amount of time (each season or 6 months etc), look through the items which are still turned the wrong way and ask yourself why you haven’t reached for it. It might be that you still want to keep it or it might not be something that you will wear again.

[@christinekeleher3578]

You did such a good job. You can just tell that you are just so excited with what you have done. You inspire me to push myself. Just the other day I know I needed to go for my walk I just didn’t want to. I put on your video just for couple minutes before I knew it I was putting on my walking shoes. Omg it was the best walk. So thanks so much.

[@michelleprice5945]

I loved The Limited back then, and Paul Harris, I would shop on my lunch hour when I worked in Chicago back in the late 90's!

[@beatricedaly8220]

I want to thank you for posting this. I actually started doing my closet while playing your video. I felt like you were here with me so I was not by myself tackling something that pulls you away from other things that need to be done for the family and the house. And I just want to let you know today’s Mother’s Day and this is what I’m doing, but it is a gift for me and that’s how I have to look at it. Thank you again for sharing. Hugs.

[@ladywarrior2365]

One of the best decluttering videos I’ve seen. I love how you take it by sections . Great motivation
