I know these videos are super old, but they've really kept me inspired while trying to downsize my things before moving out!

Everytime when I'm too lazy to clean my room completely, throwing all the stuff away what I don't, I watch these videos. It makes me want to organise my room again and enjoy having less stuff. Thanks!

i love how honest she is like about the set that the company shipped to her twice, that she wouldnt keep the seed oil because she promised she would ship it as a set. like idk that just warms my heart... anyone else?

I am so glad I found these videos. I got too into the whole KZfaq makeup gurus, and that started my non stop buying. I finally went through and looked at all the make up I accumulated and felt physically sick at what I had done. I really hated myself for it knowing there are kids starving to death and I was wasting money on make up I didn't need. You really inspired me to go another round through my collection and purge again.

Thank you! I totally agree! Just looking at the promo images and reading the product descriptions was a downfall for me, it was like I was flirting with temptation and consumerism. I had to cut myself off from the emails, marketing, advertising. I have a goal, in 2013 I hope to look at my belongings and no longer be disgusted with myself lol.

Loved seeing Mitzi the guinea pig wander past at 10:58.

Thank you for addressing package hoarding. I definitely relate to that struggle. I consistently and inexplicably hold on to MAC, Urban Decay and Tarte packaging. My husband finds it strange that I have a drawer dedicated to empty boxes I can't bear to part with. I've been slowly watching these decluttering videos of yours and have been very inspired to declutter as well. I actually just cleared out some unneeded items this weekend to give to friends and family and it's already easier to navigate when I get ready in the mornings.

Even two years later I love re-watching these videos! And I especially love seeing how much your process has changed from then to now. :)

i have seen a gazallion de clutter videos and honestly by far yours is the most inspirational, ruthless (in a good way) and just so cool!!

"Noah's ark going on here, I don't need two of a kind, every freaking color from every freaking brand." :D

It's so fun to watch these old videos again. I'm betting most of the stuff you hung on to back then is now gone since you have done such a great job decluttering over the years.

One thing that really helped me downsize my makeup collection was by researching which companies test their products on animals. All of those companies I donated or threw away. Not the best way to get rid of makeup, but I learned a lot and helped me no longer purchase from certain makeup brands/companies. I've been watching your entire Declutter Vlog episodes. You're very inspiring. I'm on a minimalist journey myself and you've definitely given me a few more "mantras" I should ask myself when going through my things! Thanks for these!

Thanks girlie!! Yes! When the tsunami sirens started going off my first thought was, what to grab if we had to evacuate immediately... three things... Michael, pigs, water lol. That's it, possessions mean nothing.

You're so right about the makeup emails, and the constant consumerism vs. minimalist! it really gets to be too much and then you have this huge collection you don't use a lot of!

Ah I know, I definitely didn't want these videos to cause people to crave more stuff. :( Thanks so much for all your support.

The Guinea pig!!! Omg!!! I miss my sweetheart, Penny. It's been 6 years without her.

for me, this kind of video makes me relax. i love it when people realise that we don't need that much stuff to be happy. I'm so happy with what you've turned into, Chirstine! I've said it a couple of times and I will always say it! Thank you for inspiring people to let go!

You are one heck of a role model and a very real and relatable woman at that. Your message about self control, financial awareness and common sense is refreshing and without a hint of belittling. My husband has been indulging me like crazy with trips to ULTA, Sephora and the drugstore but I am naturally always controlling myself. He does appreciate it :) Watching this video reaffirmed to me that I am doing the right thing. I have yet to see ANYONE do a video like this on KZfaq. You are a pioneer! Huge storm going on outside and I cannot sleep. Watching you is awesome!

Inspiring. Even though I have less than your stash after the de clutter, what you say really rings true to me. I don't own/rent much space, and I realise that I've been needlessly buying cosmetics etc that I don't use. It's for no reason. So I'm inspired to start sorting through and seeing what I really need. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're such a positive switched on person.

Ah the box thing I can totally understand! I LOVE boxes, good sturdy, cute boxes but totally agree. Sometimes I use them as gift boxes but still, they need to just go! I got hooked onto your videos today and I feel a huge urge to spring clean/ purge. I loved how you donated your samples and usually I pick through them right away and send them off to friends/family but still they always accumulate. Thank so much for sharing!

Watching these video's you've made is really therapeutic, and I think just what I needed to do what I've been meaning to do forever, and follow in your footsteps. Thanks for making these, and not just showing us the before and after but actually walking through the PROCESS of putting things in the get rid of pile. I feel like imagining doing this mentally first makes it easier when I actually have to do it for real. like mental preparation.

I've enjoyed your channel for a while but this series is by far my favorite of yours. Decluttering, simplicity, minimalism - such important concepts to help one focus on what is truly important in life.

These videos are actually so fun to watch, it's nice to see someone with high-end and affordable makeup go through and decide what you need and what you can live without, and doing so without brand discrimination. Love it!!

Christine, whenever I watch these decluttering videos by you, I really feel so nice and inspired.. I don't know why.. thanks so much for making this series and still keeping these old videos in your list. I am following all your videos since almost 2012, and feel that you are doing amazing. Love

It is so therapeutic to watch this. I think sometimes we get so carried away buying stuff and it just sits there creating clutter. Keep up the good work.

I've been watching your 'Less Stuff, Less Stress' series for hours, and it is helping me to get rid of stuff that I could not give up! You should be proud of yourself! Thank you so much!

I've got to hand it to you, to have so many products and you still had them organized pretty well. You could open up a cosmetic store. Good job making yourself get rid of stuff, I can relate. I believe you can still get rid of more than half the stuff you saved. But this is a good start. Please stop being so harsh on yourself. You're doing something about it, and someone else can benefit from all your cool stuff.

I admire what you're doing. Not only are you helping yourself by de-cluttering your life and realising that there's so much you don't need or use but you're helping others that are less fortunate. You've really inspired me to do the same. Less clutter in my space makes my mind feel less cluttered and I actually feel relief getting rid of things! My friends will also love what I'm doing as I plan on giving them lots as gifts soon :) THANK YOU!

I absolutely love this series! I honestly wish you could do more, but it seems like it's getting close to the end :( I really do think it's amazing how you're giving it all away, it just shows how amazing you are as a person. You have a heart of gold and what good you do for others, will come back in good for you. I hope you do realise what an incredibly sweet and genuine person you are!

Thank you!! Shooting part 5 today!

Your honesty is so refreshing! Love this series.

omg i loveeeeeeee all these less stuff/stress videos...I been a subscriber for a long time and I must say you shopped a lot and had lots of stuff in hauls, reviews etc...I can't beleive how much you realized and changed with your personal stuff....You got rid of tons of items and I have very proud of you...I agree with not needed all those, boxes, makeup, little tinkets ect....I support u all the way and u r such an inspiration!!!

8 years ago today and I have watched so many times. Relevant as much today as it was then

I am so loving our organizational videos! Was so happy to see this video posted this morning. Love it!

OMG - the scene of Mitzi just tottering down the hallway (and yourr reaction) is priceless!

Im rewatching all of these! They totally motivate me(again) lol You should do updated one with body care & clothes! Im totally a hoarder of those thing too!!

What consumers we are,buy!buy!buy! The older i get the more i notice i buy less frifilious things!You are so right and after a good declutter i feel so more relaxed!You are doing a fabulous thing,giving what you dont use to others who would use it,i do the same thing and it works out great for everyone!Have a beautiful week christine and hugs from OR!

I don't have much of a makeup collection to begin with but you have inspired me to de-clutter other things in my home that were in desperate need of it (night stand, bookshelves, closets, etc). I can't believe all the clutter I had! If feels so amazing to see all the clean space...feels like freedom. And seeing the excitement in the people that I donated to was so fun! Many thanks! xoxo

I love your honesty and integrity. Thank you for sharing. I've felt the need to purge recently and I appreciate the additional motivation

Haha I agree!! It feels so good to purge and get focused on priorities.

I could watch these video's of yours all day! There is something so satisfying about getting rid of things in your life that just take up space. Apparently it is satisfying watching someone else get rid of things too...

i love watching these videos of yours in particular, you just inspire me to let go of stuff i dont need/use/want and actually use things that i love. you also inspired me to get rid of all my packaging i have kept ! haha lovely video as always xx

Hands down favorite person in the beauty community. I have hardly any makeup and stuff and I hate how I get pressured into feeling bad sometimes about not being able to afford it. You helped me overcome a lot of my want to buy more! thanks for putting things into perspective so that I can now be happy with only a few products I love!

I really love these videos! Every couple months I go through my makeup collection, hair care, body care, and nail polishes, even jewelry, and I pass things I don't use along to my best friend. She appreciates it because it's like Christmas for her, and I feel better because I have less clutter. Currently doing this now! :)

I've seen every part of this DeclutterVlog so far and I am so proud of you! Also I actually been really enjoying them.

Love, love, love this video Christine!!!!!! A little tip...take re-useable shopping bags with you to stores and skip altogether the "cute" bags that you may be tempted to keep. It's a win,win for you and the earth!! It's not good to "organize" by putting boxes inside of boxes inside of trunks...you forget what you have stashed and forget get all about it. You are doing it right!!

You're so motivational! I keep watching over and over again this "Declutter Vlog" Thank you for sharing with everyone. :D

Thank you so much for doing this series! This is what I needed to see! Everywhere I look on KZfaq there is so much excess! I'm starting to become obsessed with collecting makeup and it's getting out of control! I'm constantly watching videos and thinking "Oh, I need that!'' just because of all the hype.This has really helped me sort of like a reality check lol, but seriously, I think what you're doing is really going to help me get back where I need to be!

You've really helped me think more about my own consumerism, it's so refreshing to see a youtuber breaking away from hoarding. Also, your video on coconut oil recently helped me transform my skincare regime. I'm loving it now! Thank you xx

i love the way you think. very similar to what ive been thinking/experiencing in the last few months. And it's so true, you feel so much better after everything is gone!

i feel anxious when i think about how many beauty products i have but i definitely have to be honest with myself. life's too short to use products you don't love. i see so many products and samples in your collection that i've hung onto for too long... i'm hoping i will be able to let some of them go too.

christine, i cleaned out my drawers while watching/listening to this vlog LOL it was so therapeutic!! when you were reprimanding yourself i was dying because that is totally me....keeping lipstick boxes....leopard print anything...hahaha. but honestly, i love the whole idea of just decluttering and being DELIBERATE with purchases...im super inspired now to whittle down. hope youre doing well!

i honestly dont know why but i watched all your "declutter vlog" videos and im not bored like i usually am watching someone get rid of stuff about 15 minutes each video. I LOVE IT! i hope you keep doing what your doing because you are honestly one of my top 5 makeup guru's here on youtube :)

Let's try this again! I actually fell into the same trap of buying and buying. Until I started watching these videos. I bought and bought a ton of makeup! You have inspired me to clean up my act and purge things I don't use or like. And ONLY buy what I need! Thank you I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I was trying to keep up with what everyone else on YT was buying. Not any more! You are a true inspiration!

You had such funny comments in this one,& LOVED seeing adorable Mitzi! You have such great integrity and purity of intent too - like the seed oil telling the company & making sure you sent the whole set as u promised someone u wld do. That is incredible since your parents were not able to be present for you growing up - where did you learn your integrity? 😮

I applaud you. I just did this over the summer. Of course it was way less, but it feels good to give it away to someone who would love it or get more use.

Thank so much for these videos, it has made me realize that I don't need to buy stuff that I really don't need or that I already have. You have inspire me to do the same and start de-clutting my life. Keep it up! You are an inspiration to me!!!

Everything you said is so true!! I'm right there with you, sigh... It's that old quote "keeping up with the Joneses" but now it's "keeping up with the gurus" lol ;)

A very much needed series of videos. Thank you for doing these videos, it's given me a much needed wakeup call. Realization, that I need to enjoy what I have and use up what I have before running out to get more of something I may already have. I have been feeling stressed about how much makeup I have purchased and how I could of used it on more important things. Thank you! :)

Thank you so much for putting up these videos, really helps us too to realise that they're just products..materialistic things that actually just create stress :)

OMG LOVE this right away!! When you said you had a hard time getting rid of the leapord print box, that made me feel like I'm not alone! I have a hard time getting rid of that kind of stuff too. Thanks for sharing this video!

Thanks for making these videos of cleaning out your makeup collection. After subscription boxes and discovering new makeup/beauty from youtube videos, I've found myself accumulating products and I, too, want a simpler life, using up what I have. I've cleaned out and organized my own collection slowly the past month, but it's great motivation to watch you organization videos to keep my in the mindset. It's nice to know others out there Want to simplify and not hoard beauty products. Thanks!

I think what you've done here is AMAZING! It inspires me to do the same! thank you, Christine!

I'm so very proud of you Christine! Keep up the great work!

I really appreciate your honesty in this video! I can definitely relate to being sucked into new products!

Oil from your skin is what makes the is compacts to get hard. A lot of the compact come with that clear plastic I always save them and put lay that on top and then put the sponge on top of that so as something between it and the oil from our skin gets on the brushes so then when you brush the power on when it touches the compact it get hard.

You know I really like you and your channel. I usually watch other gurus but they seem so commeracial, never re clutter etc and when they do decor stuff it's always buy this buy that. Youre inspiring, REAL and relatable. And I'm sure the women who receive your goodies at the shelter really need and appreciate them :) xxx

Love it!!! After watching your first 3, I tackled my Bathroom sink cabinets. Threw away a ton of old Victoria secret and B&B body sprays, along with other misc junk. I agree that if we don't visit the blogs or get emails to tempt us it helps with not buy more stuff.

I took your advice and decluttered my bathroom! I did my makeup stash and my hair stuff. It was harrrrrd lol there were so many things that I just didn't want to give up but I remembered you and your attitude towards decluttering and I just went for it. I must say I actually feel rejuvenated!

you inspired me to declutter my hallway closet yesterday and it looks fabulous!LESS IS MORE,RIGHT?!!THANKS SO MUCH FOR THESE DECLUTTER VIDEOS AND LOVE THEM!

One of my favorites! Orly Lollipop.

It can make you feel guilty when you have so much; I hope you have continued with Less Stress theme! The women at the shelter probably felt so blessed, pretty, and gave them smiles and joy that someone cared. It is a great thing you did and helps you too!!!

LMAO best part at 7:37 " im living now!" damn straight toss it thats me too

I love these videos so much! I actually sit through everything and never get bored! I hope other youtubers do this too because I love to watch these videos!

Thank u so much for starting these series... I was growing an addiction into collecting makeup in general without analyzing on whether I really need the product or not. It's def just an impulse of buying things just to buy things, which is not good at all! I'm pretty satisfied with the amount that I had collected so far & I won't e purchasing anymore unless I can have more than 10 empty ones :))) good luck cleaning!!

The highlight was the Mac fix plus! I can't stand it either!! Thank you! And thanks for the inspiration and motivation😊

I respect you for doing this video series. It demonstrates sophistication & wisdom. I'm sure others would agree.

This is so refreshing to watch. over the past couple of years i have been on a minimalist mission but recently have been buying more products that i dont really need but thinking i had to have them buying into the whole consumerism disease. thanks for reminding me i dont have to buy into that

Sitting here with more of those ol' heart palpitations I get when I watch these vids of yours. You're AMAZING!! You've inspired heaps of people on twitter I see, and Just wanted to let you know I'm quivering likes bowl of jelly watching this. Can't. Not. Watch! Love your work girlie! Jodi xoxo

Christine, I cant believe that there is someone out there as weird as me!! lol.. I thought I was weird for keeping boxes and pretty packaging and cute bags but now I know im not alone! Just last month I decided to spring clean, we bought our house so I went ham and recycled all my boxes and packaging that i had been holding on to for so long, I just had to go at it and get it done and I felt so much better afterwards. You go girl!! Simple, clean and clutter free baby! woot!

You have totally inspired me, so I have had the best clear out of most of the things I don't use...feels great xxx

i love that you're doing this! great reality check! i love keeping everything organized but lately have lost touch with that, thanks for the reminder and inspiration to keep things minimal. its so nice having things that i love and use and don't have to bother with the clutter! thank you for being a great inspiration and role model! xoxo

I've been watching the past video's of this series and it got me inspired. The past weekend I cleared out one of our rooms full of excess crap and today will be the kitchen. I've seriously been loving this video idea of yours so if you do other rooms/areas please take us along because it's motivating me too :D xx

Too funny when Mitzy passed by the room. I so wish there are more videos on KZfaq like yours. Thank you for donating to the women's shelters. You just don't know how they appreciate it.

Wow you've really made some progress here! I'm enjoying these videos and it's helping me think differently about all my "stuff" too. Trying to be content with a smaller amount of stuff is a continuing battle for me! I really think there is freedom in not letting ourselves be so consumed by it all. Thanks for sharing your journey with it :)

You inspired me to do a clean out yesterday. I dropped off 12 trash bags full of clothes, shoes and handbags to Goodwill and it felt good to be giving to others. Thanks for doing these videos, they are so helpful :)

That is a LOT of makupand you look like a natural beauty! Good of you to donate.Women at shelters need a lot of support. Thank you. Other people that can use expired or used makup are crafters. I like your videos a lot! You have inspired me to do something about my clutter! Am looking to see what you do with your beautiful hair and complexion. Luv

I am so glad to hear you and your husband are OK. Love LOVE this video series. God bless you!

Lol - random guinea pig. That really made me laugh. Love your organization and everything looks so pretty being separated like that.

YAY PART FIVE!!!

hahaha Mitzy running for the hills made me laugh! Love these videos Christine, and stay safe from the tsunami!

Thanks Jerree!!

I recently had a clear out of my own. I was searching for these videos but only found project 10 pan ones. It really is SO much more satisfying having only a few products that you use. Great vlogs, thank you for sharing with us :)

Love that you are letting go of so much and passing along. I often feel guilty about things I've bought and not used but when it comes to donating I just think it was like a charity purchase, and then I don't feel guilty. You have inspired me to start my very own Operation Donate :-). Can't wait to get into things tomorrow.

I totally need to de-clutter as well!!! Thanks for the inspiration! And I feel ya when you just get caught up in buying the next new product then feeling sick about it when I realize I Have like 5 already that are so similar! Lol love your videos! :)

i luv watch these videos that u have put out for us to view!I almost cried wen u went through th mac cuz tats my favorite of all make-ups!U give me great possitive life experince to go clean my stuff up n donate the things i havent worn in a yr!Thank you

I love all your videos! You are so down to earth! Love you girl!

Yay!! So glad your doing this girl!! Your getting there, its going to feel so great once you only have what you need :)

Can you imagine what you could have done with the money you spent on all that stuff? Its good to see the begining of your recovery.There are so many people on youtube with the same illness

I think it's wonderful that you are understanding the thing with collection. I love collections and stuff to, but one needs to be oh so careful. Happy for you, it takes time to understand.
