Ah I need aluminum in my deodorant because that makes it an anti-perspirant, it’s not bad for you just reduces sweating. All deodorant is aluminum free btw

Maybe you need a “project cupboard”….. so you can put whatever you want in there….. but when the cupboard it full and you want to add something you either have to do a project to free up space, or get rid of an old craft to make space.

Great idea, I may try it myself

[@wendyinegbenedo1307]

I feel like so many projects are not realistic, as in they don't usually get done.❤😊 I used to keep project stuff, and less than 25% got done. Now if I have a project, there is a time line from 1 week, up to 30 days for larger ones. If not done by then, I donate it. ❤😊😊😊❤

Exactly! That’s what I started ….when I put the projects together like that I realized NO NEW PROJECTS 😅😂

TOP TIP FOR SORTING SHOES 🎉 When you get down to the pile you are definitely keeping….. TRY THEM ON AND WALK AROUND….. It’s surprising how our feet change and based on shoes we have been wearing recently what once felt comfortable no longer does. Guaranteed you will let go of a lot more based on true comfort over just liking how they look or remembering them feeling good. ❤ Great job …. You have both worked so hard and really work well together 😊😊

[@lauramitchell6725]

Agreed! I will also try to wear a different pair each day for the next two weeks to see if I want to keep them…..sometimes I can’t even make it out my door, so,No!

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

I get the appeal of the word magnets... but I think keeping them in an envelope, in a drawer, would appear less cluttered, or put them on the side of the fridge next to the alcohol cart, so they aren't so obvious. So much of clutter is a visual thing, too.

[@sharonsomers5513]

Dani is doing a great job. I would have such anxiety having so much stuff in the kitchen.

[@sabahachughtai8609]

Just put shoes in her closet room so that the whole cabinet is free for her pantry items. I think, if in South Korea shoes are suppose to be near gate, so it should be kept in a console or small cabinet outside. It’s weird near your kitchen your shoes are there.And a lot of space could be allotted to her kitchen items which are scattered everywhere on the counter. Furthermore I think her plants in the living room should be behind her window not in the whole living room. Since it will give more space to her. But, April is doing her best to give her new space. ❤️❤️

[@Yodavilla]

Thats what I thought 😊 Everything related with clothing in her new walking closet.

Def move shoe cabinet to closet room or her BR! Once u guys have gone thru the rest of the kitchen decluttering u will know what n how much space she needs for storing. Maybe then replacing of some of the existing shelving w more efficient storage that has closed doors or drawers? Or at least u inform looking shelving to improve overall look of the kitchen?

[@lisadavis4279]

Im glad Dani found you April. It seems like she might have been paralyzed to go through item by item. She really doesn't know what she already owns. She definitely is not using what she already owns, and you are helping her realize that have several years supply of things or duplicates (some of which can't be used) is not beneficial in her life. Gathering things together should help her realize that she doesn't need more of items. In fact, she is definitely realizing how much money she is wasting on duplicates. If only we could clone you April. So many people need your services. Dani, you are making great progress. Keep it up!

Dani, thank you for being vulnerable with us and showing us your struggles. I sensed that this process in the kitchen was challenging for you. Keep listening to yourself in case the process ever gets to be too much. I’m also so glad for you with how excited you were to find the floor, combine your shoes, and have back a countertop! By the end, you were really enjoying the process!

Cats love feet and shoes because of the strong scent! Lucy was excited to rub the scent from Dani's shoes on to her own body, mixing it with her own (cat have scent glands on their whisker areas)- it's an act of love/ bonding!

Hi Dani! Would you consider putting the dog crate on the window wall between the couch and tv? It would tuck it away and make a cozy spot for your doggie.

[@daniphillips]

[@RadCenter]

Keep a list of "projects" on your phone and schedule them like medical appointments. If you keep putting them off, that's a sign that you are not committed to completing them and you should just declutter the materials. New drinking game: Take a swig whenever Dani says, "I was gonna..."

Shoes..... I also live in a country where shoes are NOT worn in the house. I store my shoes in with my clothing (tiny wardrobe) and keep only my 2 daily wear pairs at the door. When I am setting out my clothes for my work day I decide which shoes to wear at the same time (professional office). When I come home at the end of my work day I put my professional clothes & shoes away. This aids in keeping my entry clear. It does mean i give my shoes a quick wipe before putting them away.

[@ckee8437]

When I went back to work after having my child I moved all my "corporate high heels" into my office at work. I realized there was no way I was doing the daycare run in heels so I wore my flats out the door and switched into my heels at my desk. Side bonus was being able switch shoes at lunch when I needed to run errands.

I'm agreeing with others. Shoes, to me, belong in the wardrobe room. Shoe storage in the kitchen skeeves me out, just like that worm thing did to April lol. And it would free up that space in the kitchen for food/appliances/odds and ends, aka kitchen stuff, storage. Love this series! It inspires me every time! Thank you Dani, for being so open and vulnerable. It's very brave.

[@mariogrenadine]

agree... there's a bunch of tiny creepy crawlers that get caught in them outside and then end up taking a walk in your apartment... apart from bunch of bacteria and dirt. You wouldn't want that anywhere near the counter.

[@SunflowerFromDeath]

For me, shoes belong next to the entrance, ideally, you would have there only seasonal shoes or shoes you wear in day-to-day life, and it depends on what kind of space you have. My parents have a closet for shoes in the entrance, I have my non-seasonal shoes in my bedroom closet only because I don't have a closet in the entrance. And Dani's space looks like she can't move the shoe closet so she has to work with the space she has.

Dani did mention her brother-in-law gave her the shoe cupboard. So it must have been free standing then.

[@lindaroyal8161]

The shoe cabinet - use one of the drawers for lint rollers. It looks so much better with the floor cleared. The space on the left hand side that you're getting to next week; once that space is cleared/organized there would be room for a rolling cart to give her some storage underneath and a work surface on top for her baking. She could even store her baking supplies in the cart. I'm glad you're back for the kitchen, hope to see you help in the bathroom as well, a complete apartment reset for her. She's such a sweet person and wonderful personality, she deserves a great space to live in.

[@1787audrey]

That's what I've been doing recently. Watching April and Dani decluttering gave me a motivation boost to declutter and clean the house myself, too. Speaking of cleaning the bathroom: I always wonder where's Dani's bathroom? Or does she have a shared/communal one? Sorry I'm not familiar with the living/housing situation in South Korea (? - I think it is where Dani lives. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me on that). Also: Non-native speaker here. So please be kind - if any words are used incorrectly it's not intentional. I hope I phrased the thing with the shared bathroom correctly (not sure on that).

[@suewilkinson910]

Everyone loves the Dani series. She's so realistic and fun. And her smile is lovely. Such great progress. Could you persuade her to go to Ikea (or whatever you have) and buy some proper storage cupboards for the back wall of the kitchen? It's always going to look a mess with all the different colours, heights, styles of shelves and stuff. A wall of simple white doors would make it look so much bigger and house everything she needs including foodstuffs. You have worked wonders on this flat between you. I take it this is a top floor flat? What is the ledge for that runs round the whole place? That makes things really awkward in places. But I guess it's structural or it would not be there. When she said everything melts in her home during summer I wilted. I hate being too hot and top floors of anything are always too hot for me.

[@celinescrappassion2184]

i love decluttering chanels. I also watch Clutterbug and Dani is definitely a Butterfly! I like things hidden away so i do not see the clutter chaos. But Butterflies need to see their stuff so that they remember they have it, and then they can use it. I would go crazy... Thats why, when you help reorganize someone elses stuff, you need to do it based on their use of their space. This is somethig I learned through the years: there are many different ways to organize, and it depends on your personality and your way of using your space. Clutter makes me so anxious. I recently decluttered my whole top floor including my kitchen and living room because I was redoing my kitchen. I ended up giving everything away except a couple of furniture pieces, and i started fresh. I maintain it by doing a reset of my kitchen every evening, as well as a reset of my living room. This way, it will not get cluttered again, and when we get up in the morning the rooms are clear and clean. We have been able to maintain this and i am much calmer.

[@celinescrappassion2184]

@@paulawloe7743 what i mean by reset is that before sitting down for the evening, my kitchen is picked up, dishes put in the dishwasher , salt and pepper put away, the counters are cleared and everything is put back in its place. The sinks are clear or any dishes, and washed. Towels hung where they belong. My kitchen is ''reset''. That way i don't feel guilty if i am sitting down in my living room watching tv lol! Then when i am ready for bed, i pick up anything that is out of place in the living room(any cups or glasses are put in the dishwasher), i replace the cushions and throw blankets on the sofa and chairs, put away the laptops, and voila! My living room is ''reset''. Then I start my dishwasher for the night. In the morning the dishwasher is emptied so that it is ready for dirty dishes during the day.

I lived in a mobile home for 45 years. I had to learn big space wasn't an option. When you're in a small space one of the things I learned is you have to go up and not out. There's no floor space for that. The other thing I learned is that multi use stackable storage containers that you can see thru become a best friend, especially if you are storing kitchen items that aren't used as much but still needed seasonally like for canning, holidays, etc...stack them up and still where they can be visual. The biggest thing to do in the kitchen, bathroom, closets, etc, I think is LABELING. you can find nice labels on Amazon, etc...and boy, does it help ya later.

Dani is a rock star! i said in the last video that Dani was lighter in her energy and i see it even more. Dani you are glowing! I look forward to seeing your next video. Such and inspiration and motivation for me.

[@celita8183]

Found your video and happy to see real people that are relatable w pets and normal items. Nice job working together. 😊

[@jackpotdreams2954]

I am so excited you started on the kitchen. It was overwhelming me, I wanted to come over and help. GREAT WORK DANI!

[@copic8241]

Great video ladies. I'm barely 10 minutes in and I'm laughing, I'm motivated. Thank you. You guys are making it fun.

[@lucyplesskaya]

You have made a HUGE progess! It's unbelievable! 🎉🎉🎉 Good luck with the next kitchen decluttering part!

[@gretchengillette574]

First time on this channel and I just adore this homeowner! She's so relatable and fun. Thanks to the organizer for the respect you showed.

[@ElsieDraco]

She seems super nice! So it’s hard to say this… but this isn’t maximalism. Maximalism is *highly aesthetic* and intentionally curated, colorful and purposeful. Maximalism is not the same as clutter. This is either general disorganization or low grade hoarding (and I say this as a recovered mini hoarder myself)…. She has such cute clothing style though! I hope she gets the house that matches it.

[@kelseyjenna9248]

Thank you, came to say the same! Maximalism is an intentional design aesthetic. This is clutter and mess verging in hoarding. It's ok to call it what it is and no reason to be embarassed. It won't help this person stay tidy to imply this is maximalism.

[@nancyritland9116]

i love how you are so gentle and calm and respectful

[@Bubreherro]

So happy this process is started! I love the method and seeing it applied. You’re so good at directing and adapting to your client, April. It’s crazy how much has been done just by that clutter and corralling things together that will ultimately go together. The feeling of accomplishment is really validating. Also, I found myself shouting poop bags during the whole drawers sequence!

[@janetlewton6190]

I agree! April is very good at directing and adapting to her client. Well said 😊

[@emilasmith4279]

Yippppppeeeeee!!! A Dani video! Been waiting for the kitchen do over! Great progress ladies!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’m not going to lie, that kitchen gives me some serious anxiety 😖 I moved from a 2400sq ft home into a fifth wheel. I love to cook and bake and I found that I didn’t need that much stuff to do those things. I found kitchen items with multi purpose that made the big down sizing so much easier. Also, I only have food that I eat, I don’t have excess, it’s easy to see, and I have saved money in the process. I’m not a collector of anything, so I don’t get the cup collection specially if you don’t use the on a regular basis. Another thing I have learned in My years of decluttering and helping others do the same, the collection become expensive and in most cases they don’t really bring any value to anyone else when you try to sell them. I had a friend that had all these collections and when she moved and was overwhelmed with the stuff, she tried selling it, only to find out that most people didn’t want any of it. It was such a waste of time and money, she did the numbers and instantly regretted it. She was in some debt, so she realized she could have easy have put that money towards paying off her student loan and other debts.

Dani continues to impress me. Making those quick decisions can be difficult, but she's doing it without a problem. 👏👏👏 Question👉 What are the ledges for??? I never saw anything like that until I saw Dani's place.

[@daniphillips]

It's a rooftop apartment. There were so many silly design choices when they built it. 😂😂😂

[@dianajemison105]

@@daniphillips Thanks Dani! Keep up the great work!😊

[@bethcampbell3988]

I know we are not there yet but the question “How many do you realistically need?” will help reduce inventory-lighters, socks, lint rollers, scissors, vases, cups, etc. Dani is only one person. Can’t possibly use it all.

[@veganbyday3771]

I would start reconsidering how many backups to buy of everything. Makes a difference in a smaller space. Nice progress!

[@sarra8913]

That little "help 🥺" ...so cute

[@Carolina_0]

I think that you can put a shelf on the left counter to make space. Tumblers can be storaged in wine racks too!

[@jesschas5003]

I’d have a ball helping yall declutter and organize this space. I’m hoping yall end up using more vertical space, perhaps with shelves or tall cabinet.

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

Great job!!! We decluttered our huge travel Starbucks mug collection and now I have approximately 6 of my favorites that I use all the time and enjoy every day. Thanks for inspiring me!!! I can’t wait for the next kitchen video. Big hugs to you both. 😊

[@CaballoCallate]

Dani is sooo cute! She’s such a loving and kind person. She loves plants and animals, you can tell by her saving the potatoes so she can plant them someday lol. I love that she has many exotic ingredients, so fun and open minded! I wish she was my friend ❤ good job for letting go of all the “treasures”! ❤😂

[@daniphillips]

Hi friend! 😊 Thanks for the kind words and support!

[@abigailmyers9472]

She could also create more space in the kitchen by putting shelves of the right size on the ledge, to add potentially quite a decent amount of vertical space (could store jars, spices, appliances, etc.). She could then have this concealed by a curtain (if she could get a tension rod that was long enough/with pins in the ceiling if she didn't mind holding back the curtain when she was using it).

[@LeahWriter]

I feel Dani. And she has a much more positive attitude than i would. I'm both inspired and have decision- fatigue just watching lol

[@evelynsweeney7381]

Wowie. She has such good intentions she's going to use all these things. Small progress but great job.
