Your sister is precious and I’m loving this series. If decluttering was easy none of us would have clutter. It’s an ongoing process and it’s a lifestyle - not a declutter once and done. She’s trying and the desire is there. She can do it! Rooting for her!! ❤

This is the best declutter series.

My advice for your sister is to stop with all the supplements. you don't need supplements unless you have a deficiency. normal healthy food should have all the nutrients your body needs. I have an iron deficiency so I take extra iron only. I think you should try to look at it that way and not be afraid to let go of habits like that. I used to take all kinds of supplements as well, so it's a lesson I learned I want to pass on.

I think she should put together a “use it up” basket for herself. Collect 15 items and try and finish them in a month. I did it with beauty/bathroom items and it was fantastic to have that focus goal.

I love that your sister suggested another pass at the garage - I'm sure that would be really helpful!

For advice she herself talked about doing a second round in the garage. That is wise, for everywhere: - First time you get rid of a lot of obvious things (trash, expired, never use) and you organise. - Second time you don't have to deal with (as much) mess and trash. Then you better have energy to make decisions about all the ok stuff: Which products/items are the best, and which ones don't you really care about? Do you use this thing enough to keep it? Do you use it at all? Are you realistically every going to? Do you really need this? Was this thing part of a fantasy self dream about what and who you could be, and it is time to let that go? One should declutter regularly. That is my best advice. It is not a one and done. If doing it along the way is too vague, then plan for once a month or once every half year.

I think she needs to start asking herself how many calendar days it will take her to use up what she has. The amount of supplements that she has? Many of them will expire before she can even use them. That seems like a good opportunity to be ruthless and let a bunch of them go.

When my siblings cleared out my parent’s home after they passed, I started my decluttering process in my home because I didn’t want to do that to my adult children.

You are both such good people. My advice is basically agreeing with you - refuse all free samples.

Hang in there, it didn't get cluttered over night, so nothing wrong with the declutter taking some time. You have made big choices, keep up the good work

Your sister series has made me contemplate more the way money can disappear like sand between your fingers: On fantasies about who you are, being easily persuaded to buying every new gadget, "miracle" supplements, etc. I haven't made monthly budgets for a few years, but now I am back to it, and it is because of the series. I don't want to end up like your sister: mountains of stuff that I don't use, and no money.

Your sister is doing so well and you are amazing Carla! Maybe if your sister puts a small sticker on every item after she uses them and then she after 3-6 or even 12 months she will be able to visually see which items weren't used or needed. Also for the items that went to the garage (that you were pretty sure would never be used) maybe put them in a brown paper box with the date marked and if she hasn't thought about them in 6-12 months, don't open the box (it will be too tempting to keep everything) just take the box to a charity shop.

I actually feel joy when it's a video with your sis💕

I think your sister has more supplements and natural foods than any person I’ve ever seen. So brave of her to allow us in her home, her bedroom, her sanctuary. I’m not sure I could ever be that vulnerable or brave. ❤

My advice to your sister is to put all supplements in one area. Having some supplements here and some supplements elsewhere prevents you from understanding exactly how many you have and which may be expired. Getting too many duplicates of the same supplements just ensures that some will go to waste. Once they are in one place start calculating which will likely be used before they are expired. While they are still unopened and unexpired others could benefit from them or you'll just be disposing of them later.

Love this series with your sister!❤️

I am also a notebook/journal hoarder. I can't resist a beautiful book but I had probably 40 sitting in a box that I never used. I just loved the idea of using them. I decluttered more than half of them in the summer. Now I just remind myself that there will always be cute/beautiful/interesting notebooks. You don't have to have all of them - there will always be others.

Your sister is awfully brave in my opinion . I don’t know if I could be on you tube with all my stuff. 😊❤

I would suggest your sister uses the container concept for her suppliments, round up all of them from the whole house and only keep her favorites that will fit in that drawer. Knowing most will expire before she can use them anyway, maybe she can pass the rest to others that can make use of them. Great job though, its progress and from experience, it may take a few passes, finding confidence in realising she doesnt miss what she declutters.

Advice for your sister: if you had to move, would you want to take the time, energy and money to bring everything in your house with you? A take on the Swedish Death Cleaning method, but a bit nicer to think about. This has helped me so much! Hope it helps your sister ❤

I love watching you and Sherry. They’re my favorite decluttering videos because she is so awesome. My advice would be she needs to talk to her primary care doctor or if there’s a nutritionist or dietitian available through her medical insurance she should have blood work done and have the professional tell her if she needs any supplements. I would be so afraid of the amount of different things she’s taking, if she’s actually taking them. Apparently she’s not even taking a lot of them and just because they’re free you don’t have to accept free stuff.

I think your sister is very brave for even asking for help and it’s great you are giving her that start. It does seem like she’s not ready to do a thorough decluttering and that’s OK. I hope that when she watches this, she will see how much money was wasted in food and/or supplements that is expired and that will help her to limit her apocalyptic prepping. She could have gone on trips or paid some bills with that money. I think once a month she should go through her clothes, supplements or food and evaluate what needs to be kept. When you hoard so much stuff and are not willing to part with it, deep down that person feels organization is the problem, not excess and that there was a reason they bought that item and it was to use it. There are women’s homeless shelters that could use unexpired food, toiletries, etc. There are food banks that could use that unexpired food. During the pandemic, I decluttered my home- food, clothes, shoes, everything. I was at first overwhelmed so I would do most of the work on the weekends. It took me about a year to complete. I had paycheck stubs from 1995-2021! All gone and shredded. I got rid of 70% of my clothes and shoes. It took patience and talking to myself and even if something still has tags on it to let it go if it’s been a year and not worn. The women in the shelters in my area have greatly benefited. I’ve also given things to family members and friends.

Your sister is a gem. I know how hard it is to let go of these thing. Definitely have her consider stop receiving these "FREE" supplements they are no necessary and if they are. Surely she has enough by now. Wonderful job girls.

You two should plan a weekend trip once all is said and done. Something to look forward to would make me want to get thru it all!!! Loving this series!!! Go sis!!!

I think the fact that you and your sister can spend a couple of hours chatting with each other before decluttering is worth a thousand hours of actual decluttering.

Most supplements, do more harm than good in actuality. Don’t use yourself as a guinea pig! I think she would feel major relief if those were cleared out, except for the ones that she knows was helping her.

Loving this series!! An idea for the supplements might be to gather all of them from the whole house, categorise them, and then have a goal of (for example) keeping half of each category. That way you can see how much of each category you have and then let go of the ones that are not so effective / not the favourite.

The supplements drawer is an amazing idea with it displayed that way! Great job once again! It will give her so much more peace in her bedroom to not have to stare at the clutter on the shelf. But...I do feel that she should find more ways to let go of most of those supplements, as there are entirely too much for one person to take. Also, if she takes any medications, review those medications for any supplements she shouldn't take while taking those medications, as they can cause issues when combined. Thank you for the inspiration and again, I love that you're helping your sister and family get to a relaxing, calm home.

It took me 10 months to declutter 2 of my rooms! Mind you: I didn't do everything in one go. I had to take a lot of breaks over that period of time and during summer I didn't even touch any of the stuff at all! It was so overwhelming at times. I kind of worked in shifts 😅Decluttering is so much more than just clearing out space. The whole organisation and planning (where to bring stuff and than taking it to these places etc the cleaning and dusting and tidying... 😳) It's physically and emotionally draining. However: I got there in the end and both rooms are decluttered and spacey now and I love the results. I had made the goal to finish my project this year. That's what kept me motivated and going. And yes Carla: your sister should be more ruthless. But I guess that comes with practise 😊😊I think she has been doing really well so far though. You guys worked so hard✊🏻👍🏻you go girls❤🫶🏻🙋🏻‍♀️

Carla!!!! You did it. Over 70k followers!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love your sister! Your videos with her are my fav! 😊

I love your sister. I love that she wants to go through the garage again. Like you said, changes like this takes lots of time and lots of pass throughs. Going through the same area multiple times means it'll get less cluttered. I think that's great!

You could try the container concept that Dana K White recommends. Your sister can be allowed so much space for her supplements, and all that will fit is all she can keep! That might help!

My advice would be what legacy does she want to leave behind for her family? When she is gone, someone will have to take care of what is left behind. Will the things she has add value to their lives or weigh them down like her clutter is doing to her? Also, how much value has she removed from her own life by taking ownership of the things she has? Each item owned is another thing to take care of, another thing to think about. If she wants to truely understand the extent of her issue, she can write down every item she owns. The longer she does it the more exhausted she gets, the more pointless it feels to have these items. Letting go may become easier at that point.

Decision fatigue is real. I think she’s going at a great pace. She’ll enjoy having more space and be okay letting more go next time. I love the cha-ching sound every time something is let go lol.

My advice to your sister: well done! just keep going like this 😊have a vision, collect pictures on your phone with rooms that you like, and how you would love your rooms to look like...and then just enjoy the process of decluttering, don't rush...

maybe one thing for your sister to try is to use storage spaces as a visual limit of what she can keep. so for supplements for example, if it doesn't fit in the drawer she can't keep it. love the work so far thanks for sharing with us the process :) she's doing great

Don't just buy supplements. Go ask your doctor what your body actually needs and only take that. It'll be a lot healthier than taking whatever. I love this series, you guys are precious and even inspired me to declutter my own home. Keep up with the good job and good luck ❤

Not only are these videos motivating me to organize my aunt’s apartment but your humor brings me so much joy.

I know the prepper mentality. My husband and his family are just like that as well and I have to fight hard to keep clutter to a miniimum. One thought, that always comes to my mind is: how can you be prepared for anything, if you don't even know, what is actually in your house/appartement? Also: what do you actually like to use? No matter if it is make-up, supplements, clothes or whatever else, if the thought: I don't like that comes into your head, it's time to say goodbye. Mind you, you don't have to get rid of essentials of course, but the rest?

50 items in 2 hours is really good for someone who learning how to get rid of clutter. Through this process you are letting go of the past, and learning to live for today and that is a process that takes time.

I think your sister should lock her doors and turn out all the lights when she sees your car pull up! 😂 Seriously though, she really is doing a great job even though it may seem painful. Keep up the good work. You are both an inspiration!

My advice would be for her to pay attention to what she actually uses and enjoys. The “what if” and “someday” scenarios will bury you. And to spend 15 minutes per day decluttering. It’s amazing the impact of small, daily efforts.

I started decluttering because of you and im so happy. You two are so cute together. Where's Sampson? I must see him every video.😂😂 I'm a reformed supplement junkie. My advice to her would be to narrow it down to 6 she takes every day. I looked at the ones I reached for constantly due to deficiencies....out of 28 supplements, I only used 6 consistently. The others were expired or just taking up space so i threw them out. It was a pain to realize I wasted about $300.

I have been on a slow declutter for the past few years and take ideas and tips from all sources. The idea behind the Swedish death declutter has worked best for me, as when I decide to go through family treasures I keep what I like and then offer the items to my children next. I ask them to come look at the stuff, make their decision and take it there and then, if not it is donated. I also bought three plastic containers and sorted personal photos into them and gave the kids their own . Decluttering takes time , just as the stuff in the home didn't just appear overnight, baby steps, baby steps

Omg having all that stuff is exhausting!!!

My husband and I moved into our new house we built. There are projects to do still unfinished because we were exhausted and needed a break. Now we need to save money again anyway so we made the commitment of working through projects we already bought the materials for. We already see that stuff in general gets literally worked away and we already have more space in general. So for me its all about the commitment of ending projects i have started i realized. ❤ From Austria!

My advise would be Stop spending money on crap. Cluttering your mind and life. You are doing a great job of letting “things” go.

Advice: write the date bought and date opened on every bottle, this makes it more obvious how little used an item has been. use a weekly pill box to make up the supplement regimen in advance to encourage actually taking them.

After downsizing to a smaller house my biggest advice to give your sister is to have things in only one place and keep like with like. All medications and supplements are in ONE place, anything paper such as bills, office supplies etc is in one desk, all craft things are in one cabinet. It's the only way to keep things organized and know what you have.

Your sister has a huge heart and we all love these videos.

I really think Sis should make a list of the supplements she is taking, how often, and the dosage and show her Dr. on the next visit. Her health could very well depend on it. ❤

My advice to your sister is what I have been doing when decluttering my whole apartment: I keep reminding myself of the feeling of having less stuff to manage and clean every day (i will have more energy and calm in my life), and how much time will be freed up; and what i want to do with that time instead 😊

She did great. That’s still a lot of stuff out the door! 🎉

I think putting all the supplements from around the house out together and looking at them as a whole might help, but you two are so rocking it. I mean seriously, bedroom stuff is just so hard to go through. It's more personal somehow. Love the series.

What a treat to see you two today. I'm laughing out loud at all the supplements. I think she's going to realize she does not need them. 🙂

I wish your sister the joy of experiencing months without spending, discovering how the money saved can empower her to choose great experiences over material stuff. Certainly, after all this work, both of you sisters definitely deserve to do something special together and share wonderful experiences. Thank you for sharing your journey, and keep it up. ❤

It’s such a joy to see you sisters both together spending time together, laughing and just being human- it touches my heart. So great that you started supporting eachother in your own specific way.

Something that helped me in my decluttering process was to stop things from coming into my home (purchases, subscriptions, free things, junk mail, donated items, and gifts from others). Also, everything needs its proper place and a limit on how much space that item can occupy. Once it's full, one in one out rule comes into play. Your sister is doing great! ❤

I think once she declutters the first time and everything is organized she may go back to declutter overflow areas. She's doing a great job so far and has come a long way. Anyone who has decluttered always goes back when there done to see what else you don't need or use😊

I gotta say the videos of decluttering your sister’s home (any room doesnt matter) is my fav videos. Her being in the videos is what makes it funny and entertaining to watch 😂

Maybe getting labs checked would be an eye opener as to what is actually needed regarding supplements. My dr always said a well balanced diet doesn’t need supplementation unless deficient in something. Other then that, “like with like” and “one home for everything” is what Andrew Mellen suggests and it looks like you have that nailed. 😊 Thank you again for allowing us to watch Sherry’s journey. Every little bit is progress and she’s doing such a great job! 💕

I give her lots of credit. She even has been doing some on her own before you visit. I think she needs to make sure that every new supplement that comes in an old one goes out. I am on the last week of decluttering with friends for the month of November. We have been getting rid of the number of items the day of the month is. It has been so freeing. I did this a year ago and after a year I realize a lot of the items I once wanted to keep I no longer want to.

My advice is something you have mentioned before, make sure everything has a place. And the more you exercise your decluttering muscles, the easier it will become. Declutter something every day. That will make you more mindful of what you bring into the house too. When you see that you just threw out 3 notebooks, you're leas likely to buy more.

Holy supplements, Batman! I would figure out what I'm actually taking and what would expire before I could use it up. Then, even if it's not expired, it can be donated for someone to use. The top of the armoire looks amazing! The best declutter yet! 💖 Just because you have some extra space somewhere, doesn't mean you need to keep something. 🙂

Be ruthless and let it go girl!! You can do it!!!💛💖

That was fun and motivating. We all just love your sister and appreciate her opening her home to us. I love paper planners, journals, pads of paper, calendars, and smooth writing pens.

I find spaces like that do take a long time, since there are so many small pieces, and in this case many categories. It looks a lot nicer. I'm loving the series with you two.

Especially love the videos with your sister! There is always room for laughter💙

She is really starting to improve with decluttering and her house shows it. She really is a sweetheart and so are you.

Decluttering a bedroom feels more personal. This is your sister’s personal space. I think she’s getting better and better at letting go. The comment about another video on further decluttering in the garage is a case in point. She is ready for another pass. It’s such an iterative process. I’m loving the sister series ❤❤❤

I used to be a bit of a supplement junkie. Here's the sad truth! They are expensive and most of them don't do all of the wonderful things they promise! A true waste of money and plastic!

Free is not always a good thing!!!!

Remind your sister that her state of mind will improve with every round of declutter. I can already see her quicker decision making and her willingness to be done with things. Peace with her life and things will be her reward ❤

Your sister demonstrates courage each and every time she makes a decision. It's a journey and whether it's 10 or 100 items out the door, it's progress. Keep being awesome ladies! A good lesson in timing planning. Smaller items always take longer to go through. Think about the # of items (aka decisions) rather than space. It would be great in a few months for follow-up/reflections -if anything has changed. I'm invested! Thanks so much for sharing xx

Without meaning to be rude in anyway, my best advice would be for your sister to cancel whatever deal she has with the supplement company/ies. I don't know if she gets paid for the reviews and if that might be a factor in wanting to continue (understandable), but if not, maybe just knock it on the head. It would be beneficial just in terms the space gained, but also, I don't see how anyone can give a good review of so many supplements without testing them in an extremely regimented, highly documented way - which sounds like way too much work! The only other advice/mindset is that I think of space as a luxury - it's what a lot of us don't have. Empty space is not a lack of anything, it's a bonus. Love to you and your sister - she's lovely x

These videos with your sister are my favorite. You girls got this!

I call this...VICTORY!!! Keep clobbering it!! The more you go through, the more momentum you acquire!!❤

Hi Carla 😀 You are doing such a wonderful job helping your sister to declutter and organize her house. Is a process, but a clutter free house is bringing so much peace.

When I began decluttering I thought I would miss every little thing I was getting rid of….you know what…I can’t even remember what they were now! I’m enjoying seeing and actually using all the things I already have. It’s like pulling off a bandaid…do it quick and get it over with! Your sister can do this! I feel so good after I spend a few hours clearing things out, everything I keep feels so brand new to me. I do know I will revisit things and probably let more go but it’s like I want to do this in layers and I feel ok about it. Thank you again for being so positive and funny and caring with your sister.

Sometimes it’s all the small things that take the longest. It’s ok. Better not to push too hard. You’ll avoid a potential shut down. Loving this series with your sister.

Long ago I refused to accept free things🌻Free things are never free, they take up your space, your time and eventually you will throw them out. If I don't accept them in the first place, I don't feel burdened by them. I think that your lovely sister needs to be more ruthless, but maybe she will become so in time. She's doing pretty good.

LOL @ "we're going to stop right here while we're still talking to each other" LOL!!! I love the counter for the decluttered items - nice touch. You looked like you were playing Tetris with the supplements. Good job! You're a great sister for helping her regain control of her house. I'm loving this series! And your sister is 75??? She's definitely taking those supplements! It's a great Sunday when there's a Carla video waiting for me. :) :) :) -Lety from Chicago

Doing great ladies! Can’t wait to see even more progress ❤ Inspiring!

Definitely be more ruthless ! Your sister is a sweet lady, and you are a saint to help her!

I think you are both doing a wonderful job, you are patient and considerate and your sister is dedicated and doing her best. Its easy for some of us to be brutal with "clean outs" but terribly confronting for others, your gentle method is helping your sister enjoy the benefits of organisation and in a way deprogramming a habit of a lifetime. I'm sure she will continue this journey because of the way you've handled it Carla.

U and your sister are hilarious!!! She is doing a great job😊

Love hearing you and your sister laugh, you both have a great laugh. Your patience is to be rewarded dear Carla. Your sister is moving along so that's progress, good for her.

Looking forward to round 2 garage

Your gentle and patient way of decluttering with your sister is going to be my model with my husband.

You both are helping me help my friend declutter and organize her house, which was in a similar state to Sherry's, though packed even more. Your vids help remind me to do my best to keep things "light" and to laugh with my friend during the...overwhelming...process. Step-by-step, bit-by-bit, box-by-box, item-by-item...we do 6-8 hour sessions once a week. What's exciting is to see her expression and mood when she walks into a space that we've cleared. She's so happy! Yesterday, after about the fourth hour, she could walk into her laundry room and USE horizontal surfaces. She's kept the living and dining rooms beautifully. There's hope! Wish us luck, though, as there's far more work to be done. Thanks again, Carla and Sherry, for your tips and inspiration. PS: It's so much easier to see what "should" be tossed or donated in another person's home, isn't it? Our own stuff? It's a struggle!

It’s OK. Decluttering is never done. Once you start you can never stop. The more you do it the better you get at it and the more you can get rid of.

It probably would be beneficial if your sister cancel that free supplements because she receive ing them faster than she able to use them

I really love this journey your sister is on and the way you help her. You two are lots of fun to watch! Your sister mentioned it in reference to the garage and some people here have also already suggested it and I also think that doing a 2nd or even 3rd round in places like the kitchen, the office, and the garage might help your sister say goodbye to a lot more stuff. Especially since you're relocating a lot of things, there'll be duplicates of things you weren't maybe even aware of. I personally also find that once I start decluttering I gradually get more ruthless as time goes on. Your sister might be able to harness more of the decluttering drive that you've set into motion if she just keeps going as long as she can

Your sister is so awesome for decluttering with you and letting it be filmed and put on yt! She is doing so amazing I'm like actually shocked at her progress!! Decluttering warrior family!! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏🤜🏿🤛🏼

I get excited to watch the videos with the 2 of you! Your sister is brave and is doing great. I agree that she needs to be able to let go of more in order to affect more organization. That in no way was meant to be critical as she has started the process. Maybe you 2 will have a whole part 2 series as you go through all of these spaces a second time. Good job sisters!

What is it about planners and paper that is so satisfying? I love a good notebook or planner!! Keep up the good work, Carla!!

When I declutter or try to help someone else declutter I try to have them take a moment before decluttering to visualize what you would like that space to be and to think back on that when making hard decisions. Cheesy but helpful.

I highly recommend Dana K. White’s container concept in this case. She has a book Decluttering at the Speed of Life, as well as a KZfaq channel, but the basic concept is this: the space you have is the space you have. Establish a container/shelf/cabinet as a boundary for each item, only keep your faves, and toss the rest.
