Helping a fellow YouTuber (Mira - Peeling Away the Clutter) with her "nightmare kitchen"

In this video, I am helping Mira with her kitchen. Mira has a KZfaq channel called "Peeling Away the Clutter" which she started in August of this year and she has been working on decluttering her home one small space at a time after years of chronic disorganization. She has made some amazing progress on her own, but there are things she simply cannot do due to back issues and other health challenges, so, since I also live in Utah, she reached out to me a few weeks ago to see if there was any way I would be able to come help her with her kitchen and bathroom. I was thrilled to be part of furthering her decluttering journey and getting her home, which she loves a lot, back into liveable shape. She has been so inspirational to so many since she started her channel a couple of months ago and has an amazing amount of strength to be able to pull herself out of the funk she has been in for so long and to start making some better habits for herself. She has such an infectious laugh and I know you will just love the person she is.

Bonnie, I am so grateful for all the hard work you did! My kitchen is amazing now, not just for me, but for Cupid and Clay. It makes me so happy to see my little man again in this video, and I will never ever forget how Cupid loved to walk on that clean floor sniffing out treats. It's something I never thought I could have. I'm beyond blessed that you helped me. ❤ you!

I am so sorry about Cupid. I know how much you loved him and how much it hurts to say goodbye to our furbabies. My 12-year-old cat, Finnigan left us late last winter, and I still am sometimes swept practically off my feet by a huge wave of grief. It is less often now, and I am better able to focus on the joy and fun moments we had with him. Sending you peace and comfort. I am so happy Bonnie was able to help you and that you reached out to her for help. Your kitchen is just lovely!

Thank you for reaching out for help and I'm excited to tackle your bathroom this week!

Mira may not realize this, but she is a warrior. I say that because she invited us all into her home to witness the extreme transformation that you provided for her. Most of us would feel too embarrassed to have cameras in our home, but she showed us that even though we suffer from depression and that we are just paralyzed from the sadness, that there really is help and hope for us. I think that if Mira can do it, a lot of us can do it too. Thankyou Mira for helping us see that there is a way out of the darkness. I'm so sorry about your beloved Cupid. I lost my sweet little chihuahua last January and I still miss her so much. God Bless you.

Hey! You woke that kitchen up from it's nightmarish state! I am so proud of Mira for reaching out and asking for your help. You have really helped transform her life with this loving act of service, Bonnie. Way to go! I feel it's important to talk a bit about how treatment for depression looks differently for everyone as well. Oftentimes, medication is the only pathway to change our brains for the better. We cannot talk ourselves out of depression, but with therapy, counseling, and the right medical treatment, it becomes much more manageable.

The transformation is beautiful and amazing a great start to finding her way out of an emotional moment thank you for sharing your talents ❤ and much respect

@consolw 6 ай бұрын

Agree with you totally. My doctor explained it this way, if you have diabetes or epilepsy for example, you will need to take medication and nobody will think twice about that. And just like diabetes, depression and anxiety are invisible diseases and some people need to take meds for that. There should not be a stigma attached to having depression in this enlightened day and age but sadly there is occasionally. And I can tell you that sometimes, keeping up with cleaning and housework can become overwhelming. There are times when its an effort to get up in the morning and the more you get behind the harder that becomes. I’m lucky enough to have 2 amazing daughters who will jump in to help when I’m not coping. I’ve always found it hard to ask for help and I sympathise with people who feel the same. So videos like this are encouraging to watch and I’m happy for the homeowner and wish her well for the future.

I’ve been so looking forward to you helping Mira, Bonnie!! Recycling can be a major stumbling block for many - I have a friend who insists on wrapping individual chocolate papers in aluminium foil and disposing at the bins provided outside grocery stores- they can easily be disposed of in our recycling bins; in Australia our bins are big enough that a man like Mack can fit in them easily and they are emptied fortnightly. That was an amazing transformation Bonnie - Mira now has just edible food in her cupboards and plenty of room.

@99snapsnap 6 ай бұрын

I have got a great little system, emphasis on little; I have a small Kenyan basket on the back of my door. All recycled stuff goes in there, and I pop it into the recycling bin by my door as soon as it is full. This is about the most efficient thing around here. Also The Bin, is only a 10 litre. I have found small is less overwhelming. Sadly, I can not say the same about the staircase full of books, spare room piled with duvets, pillows, and ‘ironing’ (homeless clothes).

A serious Congenital illness and working in a job which entailed Community Work, mostly cleaning houses, taking care of People with all sorts of issues and washing dishes for 10 hours straight for my Neighbour’s Catering Business ended up being the set tray that broke the Camels back. I am in the process of recovery but there are days where I really can only rest. The last 2 days have been that way for me. I’ve had to implement some very strong Boundaries as I must self care, support my daughters and can’t take care of anyone unless I take care of myself. Animals and Pets are a Godsend as are children. They are just so precious and even though we know it’s inevitable that they are on their own Journey, it’s just so so sad when they leave us. So sorry for the loss of your little Furbabies. I would just like to say ! Judgement is really not warranted and Pride comes before a fall. Pray you never find the harsh realities never bring you to such a place, because no matter how strong you may think you are, the reality is we never think we would or could succumb to the painful realities of life. I’m a strong strong Human emotionally! However I am human and there are times when life throws me curveballs that are very hard to deal with. Thankyou Bonnie and Mira. You cheer us on immensely.

Sorry to be harsh. But you clearly didn’t listen very well to Bonnie explain her Husband’s tough role in his line of work. I think I will leave it at that and say a silent prayer for you. Perhaps think before you speak in future. Or phrase things in a more compassionate manner.

Breathed a sigh of relief seeing the corner of the table cleared up at 35:00 great job on this kitchen. My house used to look like a Before shot but a few years ago during one of my pregnancies I become Obsessed with cleaning and minimalism as my like “nesting” symptoms. 😂 I decluttered the heck out of my house by using black trash bags so no one in my family could see the broken toys, old clothes and other “treasures” I was throwing out. I checked out a housekeeping book from the library and studied things like folding fitted sheets and dusting 😂😂 and I watched the channel How Jen Does It ( I think she’s retired from KZfaq but her channel might still be there). It was life-changing. 🎉

I know how hard that must have been for you. I also struggle with depression & the past 2 weeks I've been barely functioning. I'm trying to battle my nightmare house on my own at the moment & it's not fun. It seems like one step forward & two back. I have stacking recycle bins in the kitchen & while trying to get other areas in order I've had avalanches, trust me. I also struggle with lack of confidence in the kitchen. I watch videos, buy the food to try recipes & then the oven & a burner both stopped working. Bonnie, you've been a huge blessing to Mira.

It was great watching how this kitchen got transformed. When she has the new table and chairs it's going to look so lovely. Thank you so much for helping Mira. I'm going to be sure to look up her page. I'm very interested in how other places do their recycling. I've recycled for many, many years but just a couple of years ago our City Council here in New Zealand gave every household 4 bins: a small food scraps bin, a red-lidded wheelie bin for non-recyclable rubbish, a yellow-lidded wheelie bin for recyclables which is all paper, cardboard, #1, 2, and 5 plastics, and steel and aluminium cans. Then there's a separate blue bin for glass jars and bottles. I know it sounds like a lot of bins but they fit very neatly at the side of our house and they are picked up fortnightly except for the food scraps one which is weekly. It's so incredibly easy to make it work once you get used to it. A lot of people moaned and groaned when it was first rolled out but I think secretly everyone thinks it's great now. We keep a little plastic 2L tub on our counter top to put the peelings etc in and then my hubby puts the contents in the food bin outside. We have a cardboard box that we put all the recyclables in and he takes that out every day or two to the wheelie bin. It's really not a hassle at all to recycle!! How is it done where you or Mira live in Utah?

It's not mandatory here yet, just encouraged, but even then, it seems that a lot of facilities aren't properly recycling things anyway, so it feels like a waste of time to separate everything out unless I can have some assurance that it's actually making a difference. I agree that, if it did become mandatory, of course we would all get used to it eventually, but I do feel bad for people like Mira who struggle anyway even throwing things away. To add those extra steps seems like it would create such a mental challenge for people like her. I don't know what the answer should be though.
