That plant is an orchid, they need full sun and minimal water. I don’t think it’s dead but just in its dormant period.

Use a piece of sandpaper on the wooden tray. It will be just like new❤

The plant is an orchid. Your orchid is perfectly fine. Any stems that don't show any signs of new buds forming at the end of the stem after the blooms die or the stem has browned just cut off the stem near the leaves. A new stem will emerge in the late winter or early spring. The stems usually bloom for about 2-3 months. Usually after the blooms are spent is a good time to repot the orchid. They can be potted using spagnum moss or orchid bark. There is a KZfaq channel called "Miss Orchid Girl" that has great info. Also, if you have a high quality garden center in your area that sells orchids they can advise you and may even offer repotting services for you. Orchids are wonderful! Just be patient and water every 1-2 weeks. I prefer to use a liquid fertilizer that is for orchids. I just mix it with water in a container and then it's ready to water whenever. Ice cubes are really not the best watering option. Good luck!

The “And” sign is called ampersand.❤

The plant is an orchid. It definitely is not dead. The spent blooms are done blooming. Snip them off. Cut the stem. Do NOT over water it. Put it in light and leave it alone. It will rest for months and then shoot up new stems and produce new blooms! I have one I’ve had for 5 years and it blooms in the winter!🙋‍♀️💖

It looks like an orchid. Orchids are my favorite. Once they die, they can come back. I learned that after I threw out many. Finally I learned that and sure enough it works. Only water a little. The moss only needs to be damp.

Don't throw out the orchid! Water once a week with an ice cube or two. It needs a sunny spot. Cut back the flower part/stem when it's done flowering and keep the green plant part. I am not good w plants but my orchid is doing fine. I have been selling my daughter's discard stuff to help her w college-purses, clothes, books, etc.

"I like things to be simple, but I don't like them to be boring." So many gems in this video! "I have to remind myself I wasn't trying to waste money when I bought this." 🙌

The orchid can definitely be revived. You can trim off the dead pieces, and it’ll most likely bounce back. It most likely won’t bloom again for awhile though, so you may want to gift it to a plant person that loves orchids

Your orchid will be ok. I'm not very good ag keeping plants, either, but these I can do. Although the flowers often die completely but they grow new stems, so stick with it. 😊

"Comprimize with yourself" - yes!!!! I've been a huge fan through your entire process I love hearing your out loud thinking now that the items your are donating are things that you love Always rooting for you!!!

For your table runner This stain remover WORKS on virtually any stain, whether it's old or new : in a container, mix equal parts of baking soda and liquid detergent ( or Dawn) mix them up into a paste. Rub that paste into your stain with an old toothbrush. After that, spray a small amount of hydrogen peroxide over the stain, rub again with the toothbrush and let it sit for five minutes. Next, rinse it under water ( because you don't want too much dish soap in your washing machine) and launder as usual.

For the bowl, try this first before getting rid of it. Take a q-tip and some hydrogen peroxide. Moisten the q-tip with a bit of the peroxide....outline the design of the stain. Let sit for several minutes and wipe with a damp cloth. See if it is gone. You may need to repeat.

Your sweet videos make me excited to declutter! 🌸Thank you for sharing your gentle ways of calming a busy world.💗

That “and” sign (&) is called an ampersand, and I think it is so funny you would want to declutter it BECAUSE I feel it represents decluttering the way you used to think (and me too). I used to joke that “I prefer ‘and’ to ‘or.’” It was easy to keep adding to my life-items, responsibilities, etc. Now I definitely prefer OR!!! Peace out, ampersand!!!

I have a bed tray like that. I now use it in my bathroom closet to create a “shelf” for separating my hand towels from bath towels. That way if I ever need a bed tray again, it’s there. But meanwhile it’s pulling a double duty.

Your orchid looks amazing! Not dead 🤣

Smaller print florals do tend to age. Bigger florals are better, more contemporary. Glad you're back. Hope you're having a great summer.

I cant keep anything alive either haha but my husband also got me an orchid for mothers day a year ago, my husband soaks the orchid for a couple minutes every week/week and half (when the soil is completely dry) and it sits in a window where it gets indirect sun and it has survived. The flowers do die eventually and you just pop them off. And it will rebloom the next year. Ours just had it first rebloom which was exciting lol.

Thank you. Great encouragement

Don’t throw the orchid away!!! Like sassysue67 said it’s in its dormant stage.

With the plant and opened makeup, I'd post it on a buy nothing group. I've given away open make up, skin care and hair oils on my local group.

It’s an orchid. And you can cut the flowers off they will regrow !

Orchid - well lit area with no direct sun. I’m in South Africa on the East Coast and I water mine by spraying it with water and about 3 TBS of water on the roots

Our local Goodwill and thrift store both take opened makeup, lotions, etc.

Orchid will die down to the leaf. Keep the steaks and put fake orchid in it. Then get fertilizer for orchids and follow directions. Sun and humid bathroom. Love it.

7:37 that plant 🪴 is an orchid I believe. 🙂

Your plant is an orchid they go dormant Makeup most places don’t take them … I often take toiletries and make up and clothes to areas where homeless are known to hang out and with a male friend I go and distribute them they are sooo thankful

It’s an orchid and the blooms will eventually die just like any other flower. They eventually bloom again or so I’m told, but they are too finicky for me. 😆

Try the same thing for the table runner.

Think tray can be salvaged. Sandpaper then stain.😊

& Ampersand sign 😊

The & is called an ampersand. 🙋‍♀️

I donated at least twelve purses. Yay, an empty bin.

That plant is an orchid.❤

1:37 oh don’t get rid of that beautiful bowl . What if you put a dark stain on it !?

I let things go I don’t repurpose unless it hits me right away. I give on the buy nothing group.

Sand the tray!

I certainly wouldn't class the orchid as dead, it probably needs different care and perhaps your climate is not right for it?

Ampersand ❤

Orchids ate gighly sensitive. The sales lady lied! If you have a brown thumb sn Orchid is nor for you 😊

The wood tray, why not paint it or put a pretty bit of fabric over it?

Contact L’Oreal, they may give you coupons for other products.

L'oreal tests on animals get a clean brand FYIELF is said to be clean but it is made in China so it is not clean. Melissa Maker has a recipe for stains 2 parts hydrogen peroxide 1 part dish soap

Being it's in that type of package, I would definitely donate it.

I tried to donate makeup to a shelter. I got a firm NO thank you!

Please...no ice cubes on the orchid - they are tropical plants. (Not dead. The flowers are fading. Eventually the whole stalk will turn brown and you can cut it off at the base. You can actually cut the brown bits off as they happen.) They like east-facing windows/morning light. Water every other week. The moth, or phaleonopsis, orchid is fairly easy care, but can be difficult to get it to re-flower. The easiest care plant is a sansevieria. Water once a month. The next most easy care plant is a pathos or a philodendron (heart-shaped leaves, grows like a vine). The "and" sign is an ampersand.

You can take back without receipt For makeup they will use your license 🪪
