Kallie is like that friend who tells you the cold hard truth but in a way that isn’t hurtful. Like YES - I am definitely keeping way too much paper; can’t believe I didn’t realize this sooner 😂

My husband was very tall. We would come home from someone's house and he would tell me what was on top of someone's refrigerator. Do you think he would clean off the top of ours? No!

For Number 1, I use bra bags or delicates bags to keep all my underwear and socks together in the wash. It's a relatively affordable purchase and I've saved so many socks from going missing. Just a quick tip if you have issues with socks!

I chuckled when you mentioned decluttering books. When we were moving in with my daughter, her husband and 5 grandchildren I made the decision to only take one book with me...the one I was reading! In the laundry room in our highrise apartment building I left an outdoor storage bin filled to the brim with every kind of book imaginable! Even now that I am living in my own apartment since my husband passed I only have 4 books. I use an app called Libby which connects to the libraries in my city and I borrow ebooks and read on my tablet. Spices I need to declutter since I am sure 90% are expired!

Wow so eye opening! Everything was so true. I think one other thing is pics or screenshots. I screenshot so many things 80% of the time I never look back at it or repost it haha

I just moved 6 months ago from a house I had lived in for over 10 years, and LORD the decluttering I did! I’m about to move again in 2 weeks and I know I can declutter all over again!

I love your videos! I get ideas to implement in everyone. I have adapted your "declutter something everyday" routine. Life changing. Especially for an older woman. I no longer have the energy to do a huge declutter. This keeps me on top of things. I've learned to "work smarter not harder" in my old age. 😃

So many good points!! I was a teacher for 34 years. We are Notorious for hoarding! The teacher I worked with for the last 7 years (before I stopped teaching) was forever getting rid of things! 😜 It was SO foreign to me!! She taught me so much about purging!! School & home!! I am extremely thankful for ALL she taught me, but one of the most ongoing things was to let things go! We are still good friends, and I do feel a sense of satisfaction when she realizes she got rid of something she now needs that I actually kept that I can let her use!!🙌🏻🎉😂

Free little libraries are also a good place to rehome books. In my area I rarely see children's books in them, and when I've put my daughter's old ones they get snapped up with a quickness.

I had a cute pair of socks that were light weight black and white stripes. I really liked them. I couldn’t throw the loner away. Years later I found the other sock folded up in an old sheet. I had my cute pair of socks back! I understand that doesn’t happen often but just sayin’.

I can honestly say, in 55 yrs of doing laundry, I have never lost a sock. I'm also a physical book person. I tried Kindle but never really got into it for very long.

Your tip about matching socks is how I feel about towels. I only buy white towels, so I can wash individual towels as needed and replace old ones and still everything matches. No more mismatched random towels cluttering up the linen closet!

Talking books. Here in the U.K. Our red telephone boxes ,which are redundant now, are being used as a book swap. No cost. You take your read books and put in the box and help yourself to books you haven't read. I'm loving your tips and advice.

Really have enjoyed getting all black socks for my son (Amazon basics). Makes it so much easier to 'match' them and they don't show the dirt like others can.

Best advice-clear the social media feed. “You allow who comes into your life”…pure, solid wisdom.

"Kids will read the same book over and over and over again." you got that right!!! Which makes it so hard to get declutter them.

I agree with almost everything she said except my linens. Until my children move away from home I will need all of my crazy amounts of sheets and pillowcases. My family hosts between 4-20 and once 26 guests several times a year. The kids invite all there friends from all over and often the parents too. It’s loud and chaotic and SO MUCH FUN! But it takes a lot of bedding, lol. I probably could just ask people to bring their own but I love being a “superhost” so for the few years I have left with my kids at home, I will continue to store extra linens and pillows and blankets and air mattresses and dishes. However! I do have space in the basement for all the extras so they aren’t cluttering up my house all year round.

The paper 🤣 I will pick up around my dad's chair and table next to it and be like "dad so you need this scrap of paper with a random number sequence?" And he'll be like "yes! Don't throw that out! Leave it on top!" Like it's the coordinates to a cache of gold or something. A month or so later he'll be looking for something in his papers and start asking everyone what all these different scrap papers with numbers are for, phone numbers with no name to vin numbers etc with no information. He ends up tossing it all... But those moments of helping are so predictable and make me laugh because those inevitable VERY IMPORTANT numbers will always be there 🤣

I know you weren't "targeting" spices when you mentioned with vitamins, but that really hit home. I have so many spices, and I've heard they lose their potency over time. So something I got for that one recipe years (and years) ago? I'm not feeling so guilty letting it go now. Thank you!

thank you for the inspiration :) the scene when the woman opened the cupboard full of Tupperwares made me laughing so much :) thank you for your funny way of expressing things too :)

I love that I came across this video as I've been decluttering paper 😂 from Hello Fresh to credit card applications and newsletters, I feel like it's an insult if I throw this stuff away! But now I'm actually sitting down and dealing with it, including revamping my two drawer filing cabinet with pretty, organized files! Lots still to shred....I got this! Thanks Kallie for your awesome, uplifting and inspiring advice and look into your life. You are amazing!

That tupperware flying out of the cabinet was hilarious 😂 🤣 😂

Kallie! Take your sock game one step further. Put a small bin in the space socks belong. Then don't fold them!!! If they all match, why fold them?! Kid socks come in big packs of navy or black. Every year before school I assess my kids socks. If they need more or bigger ones, they get to choose their color and style. And I buy enough to last the year. We literally never fold socks. Well, I usually fold my husband's bc he prefers that but still so much less folding. Also, use that cumin. 😂 It's super versatile.

I love your videos and how much thought and all the information you provide to us. thank you so much

Inspiring me to be more proactive in decluttering!! Thank you!!

I'm about to move and need to start to decludder!! Thank you so much for this video!!

Bit excited that I have actually decluttered most of these areas recently! 🎉 Added stainless steel wipes to my shopping list… thank you!!

I've been using their pre-natals for well over a year. I LOVE Ritual!! So glad to see them getting love and recognition here!

This is a good list - thanks Kallie! 😊

As a dog walker I have only white tube socks.If 1 gets a hole I save the other one for dusting :)

Thanks so much for the information on where to find the shelf-life of cosmetics on the container. That's really great information!!

Social media declutter tips was my favorite part!! Great points

Every 👏🏻 single 👏🏻one👏🏻 I needed to hear today. As per usual, your content is gold✨

Loved watching this! We’re moving to a new build house and we’ll have cabinetry above the fridge too😊 I’m so relived there’ll be no “above the fridge” storage opportunities soon.

Love your videos! #1 down - I’ve no space on top of the fridge. #2 going down tonight - the sock drawer. It’s so full of an assortment of socks that it won’t close. Odd socks have numerous uses - I’m a photographer and they are great for lenses and flashes. Jewellery and Books I will never declutter but now I read books online. Social media is a work in progress. Cleaning supplies, cosmetics, medications, Tupperware etc. when I can cope with them! Spare Pillowcases are great for sending fabric items to the Diabetes box. No plastic required. Paper is threatening to swamp me - little piles and piles of it! Thanks for inspiring me!

After doing laundry for over 40 years, I have only lost one sock. My method is to give each pair an identifying mark, number , letter or object with a permanent marker. Make sure both socks go into the washer, if they both don't come out of the dryer, you know it is between or behind your appliances. It works and saves money. Of course, it does take a little effort, but worth it.

Although I’m sure many a times you have discussed this a reminder like this is always awesome. Me and my little walk to a neighborhood donate book store. Bring one take one.

Great video. Thanks for the reminder.

You’re not by yourself regarding physical books. I still enjoy feeling the pages while I’m reading it.

Loved the book rotation idea for your kids, I want to try that in my home.

Thank u for yr tips kallie i have been following u a while. I love yr tip on decluttering something everyday. I am not naturally a tidy person i really have to work at keepin my house organize

Love all your ideas! Thank you!

I was grateful to have a lot of pillowcases when I had to leave my snowbound house in a hurry. My daughter had all my suitcases because she had gotten married and moved. I had a power outage and couldn't do laundry, so I sorted it into pillowcases. As for the top of the frig, I only have 1 or 2 things there. I dispose of my expired medication at the sheriff's office, and I just can't part with my books because they're like old friends. Love your videos.

100% agree about the social media feeds. If your feed is filled with negativity, take control. Be very aware of the content creators you follow and if an indivdiual person is constantly sharing content you don't want to see, change their relationship with you to acquittance and you won't see anything that isn't original content (at least on FB). Keep preaching this one Kallie!!!

I love the no nonsense little tangents, I learned that Humor helps people remember and pay attention today on a Ted talk and I was just thinking 'I wonder if the little times I giggle help these videos sink in and feel more honest and trustworthy'. They probably do, and I'm grateful for them! Keep up the hard work. Also, love the 50+ ritual ingredients. I take everything separate in the past because so much in multi vitamin that I don't need after breast cancer, so kiddos for them hopping on this wonderful channel and you sharing with us! You deserve it! ❤🎉

Love love love! Thank you for sharing love your channel!

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤️

Most of these are areas that I definitely need to go through as well!☆ Getting ready to move again in a month, so it'll be great to get some decluttering done in the process!👍

Soooo many things I can relate too… the white & black socks - genius ! I just got new socks couple months ago that came in like 8 colors & I love them BUT having to match them every time I’m washing is starting to drive me crazy!! Love all your advise/tips

I unfollowed old friends who really wasn’t friends anymore some years ago. They made no effort to remain friends and I had let go of trying and we did not even write happy birthday anymore. So, I first ”paused” on fb then eventually removed. Back then they just reminded me how I was still single, had to live at my parent looking for jobs and they were getting marrried, having families etc. I was just Draining. So, no idea what they are up to in that town hours away from me but I am happy. And now working and living on my own again, yey.

Thanks love your videos and content.. !

Nice video, thank you!

You know what, I have an idea for a video. I would be interested in your hair care. You hair is so so healthy and shiny. I would love to hear on what you do to have such healthy hair. I bet it’s more than the products you use.

Hahaha The sock thing is amazing! Brilliant! Switching over to all the same color. Again, Brilliant!

You are my favorite go-to for KZfaq wisdom! My new friend! I came to you for organizing...but please share your makeup favorites! You absolutely glow!!

Would be seriously interested in what to DO with the things to be decluttered. Some are easy to figure. Donations of clothes to women’s shelters, items to the local thrift store of choice, are easy solutions. If I refer to your list of 53 items to de-clutter, it’s a great list. However with most of them I found myself asking “ so what do you suggest I do with this stuff now?” Filling up landfills is undesirable. Reusability suggestions/options would be a GREAT addition to your video series. You’ve already given us lots of great encouragement & ideas for de-cluttering. So do the missing socks just go in the trash or could they be useful by people who care for animals or birds? My sisters school has a table in the staff area where teachers bring in stuff they’re decluttering and just set it on the table, free to anyone who has a clever use for it. It always disappears, within days if not hours. Empty plastic/glass jars. Unused yarn. Nail polish. Christmas/Gift card fronts are used by some groups to make new cards. Just to name a few. So do have a few solutions of my own making but I suggest take the 53 (and 11) on your lists and help us figure out how to disburse them. It’s the main thing that keeps me from actually having them leave my world. I will keep watching for that video - and hope.

Keep up the awesome videos 💕

I promise you I have saved mismatched socks for over 10 years & out of those 10 years I have found maybe 5 out of 20 of the other match after several moves & years later 🤣 so I do wear mismatched ones on days I have to run out the door. I love ❤️ your videos. You have helped me so much. I spend 5 mins each day cleaning off my living room table that I havnt been able to use for over a year & my counter tops are cleared off. I’m still struggling w the dishes & cleaning out the sink as I just don’t care most of the time but I know it won’t take me more than 5 mins. I’m doing them today finally! I also organized my medicine cabinet & most of my hygiene products thanx to you! I love the idea of getting the clear organizers for drawers & having just what I normally use on a daily/weekly basis in the top drawers. Time to do those soon & just toss! Today we are organizing my sons toys. Whatever doesn’t fits into the 20 bins of his new organizer… is going into a box for donations! He hasn’t played with them all for years. With jewelry decluttering there is a great non profit that repurposes jewelry & makes beautiful pieces for sale that fund helping animals. I will post when I find her Instagram. I am sending her a package 📦 soon. Ty again! ❤️ By the way why didnt I think of just getting white & black socks of the same kind?! Would make life easier. No I have to have 20 diff kinds of socks. I pray 🙏 for a more simple life.

...and over and over and over to the point where you are reading them by memory throughout your day and start losing your mind. But hey, it reminds me of my kiddos and puts a smile on my face, so I guess it isn't as bad as I thought! Ha! Love your videos, ma'am. Have a lovely day!

Thanks for this reminder. Areas I dont often think of like social media, jewelry and makeup.

LOVE the Hallmark movie you referenced about jewelry! I also guess my mascara for special occasions I’ve had for 5+ years should get the pitch?! Thx

I have 1 set of sheets per bed. That’s it. I don’t have to fold and I don’t have store. They just go from the bed, to the washer/dryer, and back on the bed. Done.

I never lose socks, but it's a great idea to buy all the same kind. Duh! I also thought I would never ever ever get away from physical books, but now I cant live without my Kindle. It's the best thing ever. Great tips Kallie! I recently decluttered my jewelry chest. 🤗🤗

I couldn’t stop laughing at reading children’s books over and over and over again. So true!!

The social media tip. YES!!!

Girl this advice is gold 👍

Loved your food storage video! 🤣

A great hack I use for cleaning my stainless steel appliances is microfiber cloth and water, and an ecloth. You wipe the appliance with microfiber cloth, then dry and polish with the ecloth. I keeps my appliances shiny and clean without using cleaners and minimal cleaning.

Just discovered your channel and it's one of my faves. FUN FACT: Pledge is awesome for cleaning stainless if you are looking for something that will clean multiple surfaces and are okay with traditional cleaners. I haven't found anything that works quite as well. OR a Norwex glass cloth and water works wonders too. :)

The pink stuff is really good with cleaning I use it on alot of things and it works great

i did it!! climbed right up on the counter & cleaned the top of the fridge. very impressed your magical motivation skills

The secret slob just did a one month spring declutter. She has a free printable and a video for each day,minus weekends. She covered all of these, I think

I had a lot of makeup and skin scare and I finally threw them all away but one mascaram one eyeshadow. Lip gloss a few. I don't wear makeup very often.

This one was not only useful but it was quite funny too! I would think about hosting g the cast of Rent! Lol 😆 I did a little declutter while listening. Thanks!

I cleaned out my cleaning products and started force of nature that was on your Instagram feed. Thank you 💕

Hey Kallie. I just looked above my fridge. Yikes. Gotta go. Lol great video

I only have a few cleaning products-dish detergent, glass cleaner for counters, Murphy's oil soap (for stain removal for clothes and to scrub the floor), and toilet bowl cleaner.

The one thing I keep that I do use are old sheets and tablecloths for covering plants in a freeze. Granted I use them a handful of times a year, but I’ve lost plants that I’ve spent years to cultivate. (Living in Florida, we don’t always get a freeze, but when we do, we are usually underprepared!) I’m not using my good linens for that! I keep them in storage in our garage with clothespins. I can’t make excuses for anything else here!

I use delicates bags for my kiddos socks. Haven't lost one yet! Mine on the other hand...but I use the mismatched ones as dust cloths until they no longer function and then toss them.

I recently discovered Smartwool collects any old socks for reuse for catbeds etc. Made it really easy to let go of so many and make room for only the socks worth keeing!

Good video Kallie! A video about how to attack your children's old clothes that doesn't fit anymore would be helpful. Every time I think about getting rid of the U-haul truck load I have I get overwhelmed and anxious because there is so much. Any helpful tips about how to accomplish this?

I liked that you talked about people/relationships that's so true!

Will try a couple of these. Paper and medicines and maybe the top of the fridge

I did declutter the socks, spices, utensils, dishes, pots, clothes, handbags, empty Apple product boxes, fake jewelry, portable cheap furniture, baskets (if I need one, I use a box, if I change my mind it can be recycled). I never participated in social media, a complete waste of time.

Sock hack for everyone…especially parents with littles: pin or clip a large lingerie/sweater bag to your laundry basket or hamper for each family member and put their socks in the bag! Then all you have to do is zip them up and toss them in the washer. Simplifies sorting socks!!!

I’m a thrower, sometimes to a fault! Thanks for the tip on the makeup, I never paid attention to that little number. Now I will.

I've been doing the buying the same socks for years and she's right on that one.

End book clutter by not buying books! BORROW them from the library! Unless it's a favorite author, then you have to have them all.

This has nothing to do with this video but you have awesome eyelashes! I would love to know kinda mascara you use. Thanks for the great videos!

Great tips! Re: books: borrowing them is all well until you realize that your small library that's only open when you have to work does not have any of the books you like (e.g. other languages) 🤦 so yeh, buying it is for me. And I also have a REALLY hard time giving them away

I also have one style of sock and I don’t even mate them. I make a pile and put it in my drawer, and just grab the top two. My husband and daughter have the same and it saves a small step with laundry and with getting dressed.

Makeup/beauty supplies may be good for some extended period generally, but they are hotbeds for bacterial growth picked up from our skin, fingers, or contaminated applicators/brushes. Better to toss after about 6mos or less. Make certain you wash/replace your applicators/brushes frequently and wash your face/hands before applying.

Hi Kallie 👋

Socks! I purchased only black socks for my boys and each load, would devide them equally. Also, many medications/supplements last for years after their exp date. Digestive enzymes can foster your own body's probiotic growth. We are all individuals with unique body Flora. Overgowth of certain Flora can cause imbalances.

I donated adult and children's books to the hospitals. It is a great way to get rid of the stuff we didn't need and allow someone else to get the enjoyment out of the item.

These tips are great, I have so much unopened cosmetics and skin care! I gave away a huge bag last year to some family members. It’s ridiculous how I ended up with so much….

2 things. Use sock sorters that link pairs of socks nightly. Those of us that are fortunate to be tall enough to see into the cabinet over the refrigerator, or can use a step stool, put large occasionally used items up there. Pans for hams at Christmas, turkey roasters at Thanksgiving, etc.

🙌‼️Stay safe & well❣️

Keep working on that paper! She didn't talk about office supplies though 😂😍😍

Omgoodness I have always always said that Bobby pins small scrunchies and socks go meet somewhere and go ride off into the sunset lol gr8 viceo
