MASTER BATHROOM VANITY & CLOSET DECLUTTER / Starting 2024 with decluttering and organizing

[@crazycroney]

Pro organizer here. I highly recommend you label your drawers and baskets. It seems like you are a visual organizer and if the bins are not see through, you forgot what’s in them. Plus it lets the rest of the family know what’s in them as well.

[@middlelle]

I totally agree. I label everything including utility and desk drawers. With partners and kids not knowing where stuff is, it’s so much easier to label and tell them to read the labels.

[@justemmalyn7934]

Agree! I'm the same way. I know there are brands that make QR code labels for bins, which might be a fun idea too!

[@middlelle]

@@justemmalyn7934 I love the QR code idea. You can update your lists in the database without having to relabel. You can also tell people to scan the QR code to find stuff.

Real tree person here!! They don’t drop many needles & out the door when holidays are over!!! And, the smell is the best!!!

[@LivingwiththeTutors]

my almost 3 year old whose obsessed with your channel was talking to you and comes up to me and says "maybe we can go help her with the tree. we don't want her get stuck down there. maybe we can. yeah we should go help her mama" ❤️😂

[@vickithornley5056]

How sweet to hear!

[@5petes]

I typically take down Christmas very soon after the big day. This year it was the very next day. While I love the cozy feel and the lights, I start to feel closed in and just knowing I have the big task of putting it all away leads to anxiety. I grew up with and practiced myself while kids were all little not taking it down to the new year. Can’t hang any more. LOL. I let the last remaining child at home decide for herself, however, when her room tree and decorations come down since that’s her space. Sailing into the new year with a clean house is amazing. Still have the outside decorations drying in garage…waiting.

[@shandraice]

We take our decorations down on Saturday, January 6 on Epiphany.

[@allib4455]

I take my tree down at the end of January it's so pretty I hate taking it down, my fireplace is a winter scene, so it stays until March then the summer stuff goes up.

[@gaylewills1294]

I am taking the tree down the weekend of the 13th and 14th..our 3 cats will be sad. We have 3 cats and each one sleeps under a tree. It is the cutest thing.😺😸😻

[@shirleyrichardson3504]

Awesome Jodi. I am sitting here thinking 🤔 I go declutter my bathroom cabinets and the bathroom closet. Just thinking, no working

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Thanks Shirley 🤗 Well thinking about is the start right 😂🤷‍♀️

[@maryscott_50]

I request that before you can go back out in the yard to continue decluttering it, you do a video showcasing ALL your favorite cleaning tools/items for us. It would be helpful to have them on one video to be able to get ready for 2024 cleaning all over the house! ❤❤❤

[@an7855]

In Germany most people wait until January 6th(Day of the three wise men) which is a holiday in catholic areas. Some take it down right after christmas, some for the NYE-party and some on Jan 1st (because it is a holiday and everybody is hungover and not motivated to do much and it marks a Fresh start as well). But at least in my area it is about Jan 6

[@justemmalyn7934]

Hey Jodi! I still live with my folks, but this month I'm really hoping to reorganize the bathroom closet, redecorate my room, and use up some of my craft supplies. Hope your new year is going amazing, and love from Michigan as well! I still say we had a White Christmas because of the fog haha :)

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Yay that’s awesome goals ❤️ Oh my gosh we had more than normal fog didn’t we

[@robertadunn1572]

Hello Jodi, glad to hear you had a Great Christmas. My hubs and I had Covid for Christmas not fun. When I was little we had real trees but it was funny because me my Mom and Brother would be scratching and my father wasn't allergic as we were . So in my house we have a artificial tree. Because of my allergies and my hubby has the same but my son was like my Father no allergies. But I did Love the smell in the house. Oh we only broke out in rashes where we had touched the tree, smells didn't effect us. Best wishes for a blessed 2024. From one Dunn to another hugs from Lancaster, Pa.❤🤗🎅

I need to declutter my one small bathroom, maybe this weekend. I have gone back to babysitting my wonderful granddaughter. It has been rough but joyful. Changing my Medicare Advantage plan tomorrow as it would appear my Humana is ‘still in negotiations’ with providers. Every time I would check since early December they would say check back well it is past the first of the year and can’t wait anymore, was on the phone 3 hours today with no answers. My granddaughter was so good during the time but screw it I am switching tomorrow. I am going to purge the baby bottles and other little baby stuff. Good for your family getting rid of their stuff because we really can’t start purging their stuff.😃Thank you Jodi!

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Hi Mary 🤗 Oh that is no fun being on the phone that long and getting no answers 🤦‍♀️ I’m glad your granddaughter is back to coming regularly ❤️

[@joanjohnson7186]

I still have my tree up. All ornaments are off. I plan on taking it down tonight. Decor is down too. Now it looks bare. I worked on organizing my closet yesterday. Getting rid of alot of stuff I don't wear. Next is my bathroom. Too much junk in there too.

[@kellyl7610]

We always have a real tree. I don't have the patience to fluff a fake tree every year. If it was up to me, I would take down Christmas decor around the 27th but the rest want it up until Jan 1st. It's always a struggle for me to keep it up that long. Today I wiped down the fridge and freezer. I only buy food we will eat that week so there is never any expired food but it did need a wipe down.

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Kelly I know what you mean. By the 28th I was ready to have it all down

[@elizabethtallman3280]

My daughter changed her hair style since our last decluttering, so when several of her friends were over we set out all the products she wasn't using and got rid of all but two things and so just had those to throw out! I know what you mean about fighting off hair, between hers, mine, and the long haired dauchund, the hair is a constant battle!

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Elizabeth it is for sure a constant battle

[@petrapluss7138]

He Jodi, happy new year🎉! I like your channel very much and I follow you since your first master bedroom declutter (I think🧐😇🤷🏼‍♀️). You made such a great job!! May I suggest to put some label on the ‚not visible‘ organizer to better remember its content? I think you are a butterfly, out of sight, out of mind😊.

[@keelienne]

We have no kids in our family anymore, so we don’t have a tree at all - but before we used to have a real tree. Something about it.. the smell, the feel.. it’s magical 🙂 And vacuuming afterwards was my biggest fun, kling kling kling Kling Kling 😂 But.. why can’t you do yardwork now? Is it damaging the soil? I think our climate is comparable, and we rake and so on through the whole year. You get warm while working, if that’s the problem? I think it also had to do with garbage collection? Isn’t there another way, like storing the bags in the shed or bringing them to a recycling place? Anyways, I wish you a great 2024, hope all you guys‘ dreams come true and you keep a good health. I finally have a planner again this year, hope that will keep me on track 😃

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Keelienne Kling kling kling made me laugh 😂😂 Yes couple of reasons. It’s cold 🥶. I know the body gets warm when moving but I absolutely do not enjoy being outside when it’s colder than 50 degrees. And biggest reason is no pickup after November. I could store bags outside but then by spring the bags would be destroyed by the winter weather. It’s fine though. The inside of my house needs my attention during these colder months ❤️

[@robinwilliams5408]

Great job Jodi

[@ucfhillcollege8296]

1) Our tree stays up until Epiphany. It goes up mid-December.Have you noticed that folks who put theirs up early want to take it down right after Christmas? 2) On the rusty soap drainer, I would clean it off well with an SOS pad to remove all existing run before I put the clear nail polish on it. 3) I have learned to shop my home first before I do online or at the store to see if I already might have what is needed. Makes me feel like I have saved money by not by any additional and have saved a trip to the store. 3)Well done on the decluttering and cleaning!! I always smile when I see you have a new video posted!

Hi Jodi, happy new year! I also took down my tree on the first. Only ever had a real tree once years ago when our kids were very young. And while we loved the smell of it, we didn’t like everything else about it. It shed like crazy and we couldn’t stand it. It also was not as easy to put decorations on and not easy to dispose of after (where we lived). So it’s artificial tree for us all the way since then 😊
