[@watrgrl2]

I like all the ideas for keeping things tidy and I like the idea of keeping only those items that bring you joy or are extremely useful and getting rid of everything else but As a Christian I prefer to treat my possessions as those I am given and entrusted with by God. I don’t thank inanimate objects for their usefulness I thank God for the blessing of being given something useful. My gratitude is to God for His Provision in my life.

[@ShadowGirlyz]

I'm with you there! I follow her tips on organizing and what "Sparks joy" But not all the extra stuff she talks about

[@Loki-fl1rk]

It is about having a ritual. It really does not matter which imaginary entity you adress.

[@ivanohemartin]

I see the logic. Buy expensive stuff, end up having less stuff. Minimalism.

[@faithrada]

I would point out that Mari is not technically a minimalist. Certainly though her approach to Tidying can be very useful to both minimalists and those who are not. By using Mari Kondo's techniques I have been able to admit that some objects in my home do NOT bring me joy. I have given myself permission to let go of these items and bring in ONLY those items which do bring me joy. Letting go creates a flow of new energy. Mari's approach to Tidying, and reviewing objects within one's environment is not ONLY for minimalists. Plus.. there are many levels of Minimalism. We should never feel guilty about creating a nurturing and pleasing surrounding. For myself... I would rather put my funds toward one special item... than a collection of LESSER things... but ... that's just me.

[@helgenx]

@@faithrada She's a con artist, and you've been conned. The stuff she was doing is typical Japanese life, since their living space is usually smaller, they've always been doing this. But even though I'm not Japanese, I use common sense and figure these things out on my own. I'm just here to spread the word that she's been a con for a while.

I love that you have reusable items in your collection. I didn't even think of having reusable cotton pads.

[@esme_melody]

people are so mad lmao she never said u had to buy this stuff to have a place that sparks joy????? her method helped me a lot. if you'd have read her books you'd know that she doesn't encourage buying new things - her whole method is to only keep things that you already have that spark joy. if u don't want these things, just don't buy them????? it's not that hard luv

[@godlovesyou6122]

None of her expensive items are going to "spark joy" in my wallet! It's unfortunate that she's going in that direction.

[@kenkoku2115]

is it bad for her to own an online store? you don't need to buy from it. If prices are too high then naturally it wont make much sales and prices will have to drop anyway. At least whats on there seems to be well designed and of good quality.

[@humanityandme]

Yeah tbh it is a little sad... Capitalism wins the day

[@humanityandme]

@@kenkoku2115 the idea is to declutter our things and keep what sparks joy, not go on a shopping spree

[@paeonia321]

@@humanityandme I would not consider her store as capitalism winning the day. The items are expensive, presumably well-made, and don't fit an obvious current trend. None of them really sparked that gotta-have-it itch coupled with an affordable price and designed for planned obsolescence or replaceability. They are not the sort of items that keep the economy chugging along at a brisk pace. Wealth disparity may have won, but not capitalism, except to the extent that it causes wealth disparity.

[@humanityandme]

@@paeonia321 I'll rephrase it as consumerism then, I mean I can't unsee it because I have a business degree, marketing is a magical phenomenon from what I'm seeing here whereby one can reframe the perspective on reasons to consume and in goes profit to our pockets. Here's the thing, I'd not have an issue with this if it were anyone else but Kondos entire brand is based on keeping what sparks joy and decluttering, why not keep it as simple as that and perhaps share what she cares for possessing and then it is up to people to decide what they want to from there but now there's an entire business team behind her, they will be producing annual reports on how much profit she accrues on her products... I wouldn't be complaining if she decided to mix consumerism with charity not at a pathetic 10% and under rate for every good sold but higher, I don't mind my pocket being taken advantage of while I'm led to buying the cookies that contribute means to people in need. I'm not trying to be rude on the Internet, I'm just saying aloud what I observe.

[@alvinjay2000]

Her stuff is so expensive and unnecessary like a tuning fork???

[@s1827-w5w]

Actually a lot of people, specifically those that are spiritual, use tuning forks to cleanse auras and the energy in a home or within them, so it's useful to those who are spiritual like that

[@sammalneito]

Sumejja Pasanbegovic but 50 dollars for that is pretty ridiculous. you can get one for 5€ in europe at least...

[@s1827-w5w]

@@sammalneito that is true, the prices are pretty high, but she figured out that there are people who are willing to buy her things so she took her opportunity I guess

[@narvaromer8516]

NOT cool. Why does she advocate decluttering and saying goodbye to the items, then now shamefully trying to sell her own brands?

[@paeonia321]

Your reading comprehension isn't very good is it? These items are not her brand. (She used to sell very pretty boxes and stopped.) "The shop features an assortment of brands" that she uses in her life because they spark joy, and people kept asking what she uses. If she wanted to sell out she could partner with The Container Store or something, not sell expensive boring table cloths that no one is going to impulse-buy.

[@shadesofmysoul]

she doesn't advocate decluttering. she advocates having things in your life that make you happy. and the only reason she's launching this store is because people kept wanting to know, specifically, what things make her happy. there's nothing wrong with her sharing that

[@allnargles]

shadesofmysoul She’s clearly using, then, the unhappiness of the people that think they need to have the exact same things as her to be happy because they’ve tried the method, didn’t work, and instead of thinking the method is flawed, and seeing that she is a pretty effective skinny, young and airy marketing tool, now, they think that if they have the exact same things as her, they are going to be skinny, young and peaceful looking like her. She might look like that but she’s just and opportunistic publicity stunt that’s filling landfills everywhere she goes.

I believe you should all go watch the video I just posted about this. This is the funniest thing ever. Omg the hypocrisy. I can't deal.

[@queenb9905]

If you actually watched any of her videos you would know that she never told people to get rid of everything they own. Her method and message was simple and clear. Get rid of the things that you no longer need or which no longer *sparks joy*. So really even if your home is super cluttered you don't have to get rid of any of it, if it brings you joy. Therefore, her opening a shop, which sells products she recommends, products which are her style does not make her a hypocrite. Also, no one's forcing you to buy anything. If you think the prices are a bit too much than don't buy it. It's that simple.

[@gdaymates431]

@@queenb9905 I gave the show a chance but I couldn't bare to watch middle class people crying over clutter. It occurred to me that, anyone who is complaining about having too much stuff needs a wake up call to the reality that millions of people have nothing. We've become to used to trash on TV that we've forgotten how insane so much of it is. The concept is good, less is more, keep things that make you happy and that you use but the whole TV show and the product line is just ridiculous to me and laughable which is why I laughed for 24 hours when I saw the product line.

[@jodavis7530]

I tried folding and storing my clothes her way and I am happy. I didn't rid any of my clothes, I just follow how to fold and store and it helped me. So for me, we should not look on her but on how the method might helped you if not then search for more methods that will apply to you. There are so many out there, in youtube, books or in tv it's just a matter of helping you get the things done and be happy with it. And that is my opinion.

[@gdaymates431]

@@jodavis7530 what worked for me was getting rid of everything and driving around Australia in a van. That showed me how truly little we actually need to be happy.

[@queenb9905]

@@gdaymates431 The show and her videos have helped thousands, maybe even millions of people. Because of her, many people are finding it easier to be more organized and learning to only spend on things that would bring them joy, thus saving people a lot of money. Her shop is just a plus for people who have enough money and like her style. So it's not really ridiculous or laughable. I find it rather odd that people want to bash her for not even doing anything wrong or hypocritical. There are shows which are completely pointless and helps no one. There are also lots of celebrities who sell really expensive products to their fan bases.Yet, we rarely see people getting mad at them. Marie isn't doing anything that hasn't been done before. Atleast her methods are helping people.
