In Japan, it’s a tradition to “detox” our room/house when the new year begins because we need to let go of, as well as clean, things from the past. Its not good to hold things from the past and in order to move forward in life it’s essential to sort out what’s really necessary. I actually enjoy sorting out my things and cleaning but I just never find the time and sometimes I don’t have the energy to do it haha

when doing your clothing ask yourself these questions: #1 does this fit me #2 would i still wear this #3 will this fit me next summer (you ask urself this if your in the winter or if its summer u ask if u will fit it next winter) #4 do i actually wear this or do i keep it because i feel pressured to keep it also when your doing clothing and u want ur closet to look nice then do these steps #1 put aesthetic (when i say aesthetic i mean pick your faveorite clothing that matches colors from the othwr stuff u choose) clothing u like hang it and put the rest in your shelves #2 keep your hangers matching! if non of them match just put them in color order but at target they cost $1 for i think 20 hangers #3 put your clothing hamper in the back -unlessitsemptey- #4 if u dont like people seeing your closet try to get into the habbet of closing it everytime u leave it if u have a hard time getting rid of decor ask these questions: #1 does this match my aesthetic? #2 does this match my room theme #3 do i usually hide it away or not? #4 would i actualy put this somewhere {\_/} ( •-• ) / > > bunbun hopes this helped! like if it did :D also thanks for reading this far if u did :)

As someone who just went through a house fire, your sentimental items would definitely be an afterthought. While in a burning building, the only thing you’ll probably think of are your survival and getting any family members (including pets) out safely. Seriously. I was on the phone with a dispatcher, attempting to get my cat out from under a bed. Eventually, I had to close the bedroom door and leave my cat to get my teenage sister out of the house (even though I kept yelling for her to go outside). I had nothing but my phone. We didn’t even grab any shoes to wear. Luckily, everyone is alright, including my cat.

Ok so I'm helping my mom rn with the method and I asked her "Would you buy this in a store?" and she said "Yes, because it's on sale." 😂😂😂

cleaning videos will always be the most satisfying 😩🙌🏼

last year i moved houses and everyone knows that's the best time to get rid of half of your items. i ended up throwing out all of my old drawings and now I regret it BUT this year I've been doing some reading on "how to get rid of sentimental things without getting rid of everything" and it gave me lots of (obvious) ideas I didnt think of before, like scanning (or taking pics of) photos or drawings and keeping it on your pc instead of having it taking up space. just sharing in case someone is in the same situation as i was hehe

if i threw away every piece of clothing that didn't spark joy i'd be left with a pair of underwear and a t-shirt.

she just motivated me to clean my room

You: “ does this spark joy” Me: No, because they are my work clothes and I have to keep them. Lol

YOUR SHORT HAIR LOOKS AMAZING & SUITS YOU SO WELL 🙌🏼😍

I’ve rarely seen modern books make such an impact on the way we live our lives, the Kon Mari method is truly a game changer when it comes to living a healthier happier life and she totally gets that

Brb gonna clean my room!

I loooove the KonMari method so much, we’re going to do a deep clean starting tomorrow in preparation for our baby on the way 💕

_i am in a good need of a detox🗿_

Book recommendation (my favorite book ever) : New Minimalism ! it's about being minimalist but not giving away all your beloved belongings or sacrificing color to be minimal. it's so inspirational ♥️

I actually needed this video so much!! My room is soooooo messy like it looks like all the natural disasters hit my room 😂😂

this inspires me. im gonna watch this playlist. get my waist long hair cut off and dye it blonde. then get to work. im going to use this summer to become who I want to be, and not someone who I default to be.

i never thought somebody could make me want to clean my room.

I really like your clothing style. This is just a suggestion, but maybe can you resell some of your clothes that you don't want anymore to your viewers? They look they're in good condition. I would love to buy them for a reasonable price! ( broke college student)

i dont think you should get rid of your sentimental items because me personally for example, when i have kids, i would love to share my crazy stories with them and also have proof. things they can see and touch. when i look back at my old things i feel soooooooo good!

Oh my gosh I’m in the middle of doing this and you uploaded 🤯

*Anyone here also a fan of aileen?* And so glad to see you bag krist! I cant wait for more.

WHAT THE HECK DUDE I was literally binge watching Marie Kondo KZfaq videos and then you posted this! Perfect timing!!!

I remember watching that first video you made a few years ago and going through all of my clothes and room to get rid of all the clutter. I recently went through my clothes again and I’ve found that every piece of clothing I have sparks joy for me! It’s no where near the amount of clothes I had before, but I feel much less bombarded when I open up my drawers. Thank you for inspiring me!

I literally started using the KonMari method yesterday starting with my clothes. This was so perfect and I'm going to continue tidying now. Thank you for the motivation! 💕

My problem is really most of what I have doesn't spark joy but I dont have the money or time to find stuff that does

hey krist, just wanted to say, don't throw away or the childhood sentimentals. i think its so great you kept so much from your childhood - i couldn't because i moved around a lot as a child and i threw away most of my childhood. i don't think i own anything over four years old. and i already regret it! because i know when im old, i won't be able to remember much of my younger years and won't have anything from those years. my advice is to keep your childhood things that mean something to you, keep it in boxes and store it for when you're old ;)

Thank you for the inspiration! What really helped me to declutter and re-evaluate my priorities is moving to a different country for studying. I felt sad leaving all the memorabilia behind, but in the end it’s good memories and experiences that matter and not physical objects.

The house burning down tip was actually an eye opener! I get sentimentally attached to various objects at random so I have to thrown in logic and that tip was great. Thanks :)♡ I hope you're doing well on your journey~ cant wait to see more in this series!!

Who else was waiting for more krist videos?😍☺️😇👌🏼 Btw I also make videos❣️

I like the idea of tidying by item instead of location. It definitely seems more efficient

*picks up school uniform* this does not spark joy *throws away*

honestly i felt like this was me lmao like i have a ton of boxes with random stuff from the past... my mom told me a GIGALLION times to throw away some (which in my defense i've already done quite a lot in the past few years) I'm so happy to see this Krist becoming more mature (if this word is the right one)😂 i definitely feel like she has been growing a more mature mindset and this channel has turned into a lifestyle one, (its still sparks creativity but has also become more down to earth in ways actually improving our lives) which is quite a good subtle transition of the channel. THIS GURL IS GROWING and so we are as her viewers... i wanna cry seeing her coming this far ～#BESTYU～⭐️

I believe that taking everything out of your closet at once can be quite overwhelming for some people. Rather than doing that I would recommend taking out one category at a time (for example all dresses), sort through that and put it aside. Then move on to another category. After everything will be sorted out you can put back the items that you chose to keep.

if i got rid of everything that doesn’t spark joy i would be left with nothing lmao

lettuce begin

HI KRIST! I remember the konmari video in your other channel (krist soup) about three years ago? (Wow it’s been that long?) And by that time I was already subscribed to your channel for a quite some time. And I really just wanna say THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH for introducing that book to me!! I had a life changing experience watching that video that I never here. As I’m about to watch this video I am super excited for this series!! 💜 Love from Toronto 🇨🇦 💜 P.s you’re my favourite 💜🥺

Im living for the “new yu ” the calmer relaxed and self focused mature yu, that is genuinely still yu

This decluttering method is amazing! Life changing, for sure!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you so much! I was actually cleaning my room when you uploaded this, so this helped me a lot. Your videos are the best and your my favorite youtuber!💜 Edit: KRIST NOTCIED MEH OMG?!

I’m so obsess with Marie’s organizing methods. I binged watch her show when it came out. I just tidied up my whole room yesterday and now I feel so ready for 2019. I can find all of my clothes and I have less clutter and messes. I feel like my room can breath now.

you’re helping get my life all the way together

krist uploaded! yESS

My ideea for how to keep all those wrappers, photos and other memories: glue them in a journal. That way you would have all of them in one place and it would not take much space. You could even write down the year every one of them is from. I noticed my problem of having too much stuff when I had to move for uni in a new city. I took everything I needed with me but I still had a lot of stuff at home so I got rid of most it. Lots of love from Romania xo

Let me tell you, this was emotional for me . Since it is my senior year of highschool I guess I sort of hoarded things from school that would remind me of the great times I've had , I also realized I kept a lot of my exes clothes. For me to finally get rid of it all , it's sad but theres a feeling of acceptance and relief . Thank you so much for this video it really helped me out

i love your life-style like videos, they help a lot!

Oh my gosh!🥺🥺🥺 this is ME word for word...sentimental hoarding...future project hoarding ..pop impulse buying lol ALL of it! I’ve been on my minimizing journey too for about a year now so this was like me SAME lol..and wow..I love this video and you thank you!

I LOVE KRIST CUZ SHE IS SO FULL OF WISDOM PLUS THE AESTHETIC AHHH ✨i've been with her since she is a fetus (slime era) 😂 and now watching her, i feel so proud of her 💖 and feeling honored for being able to see her grow ❣ AHHHH THE FEELS 💯

This video is honestly so encouraging and inspiring!☺️ I am currently in the process of cleaning my room and mostly my clothes and this vid makes me happy that I am FINALLY making an effort to clean my room and that I will finally be happy with a clean space! 💗✨

Yay

To be fair I still kept a lot of sentimental items and I wrote about the ones I threw away. I moved old school notes to my office space and designated them as references materials. I kept the old books I read as a child and for some reason couldn’t let go but decided to store them in a shelf that I could open later (when I might have kids or the future entertainment center I’d make). These items had a plan and would not be forgotten. Also I love the box at the end. What a great way to repurpose items!

Oh my gosh! I loved your first KonMari video, no joke it’s my favorite video ever on youtube. I’m so glad you made an updated version! 💖💕✨

i missed your vids! can’t wait for for nuyu vids:) throw back to the og nuyu series

Omgg Marie Kondo I love her so much omgg she just has such a good vibe/energy I wish I had someone like that in my life

Omg girl I have those SAME sentimental hair tie bobs!!!! Thankfully I have a toddler niece my family could donate them too and its so cute seeing them on her.

Yaaaaaaaassss queen ive been watching krist for like 2years and finally a new series

I love that people are starting to think about conscious consumerism. The environment is in desperate need of it!

I really appreciate the details you share in this video about your process! i saw your first video a couple years ago which was very inspiring at a time when i felt like actually doing the KonMari method was impossible. After watching the Netflix series and hearing about your process, I am finally getting more clarity around how to know when something sparks joy!! Thank you!!

I love the original konmari video you did years ago. So glad there's a follow up!

still my favorite youtuber 💘

I wish everyone will watch the show and learn because life became so much easier and I feel like people are missing out! You've said everything right, I got these feelings. It looks easy watching it and me being like: oh what is wrong with them it's trash throw it (and they be crying over it). I have the worst emotions going through that as well and god it's freakin HARD TO DO. After I finished my room I visited my old childhood friend and I started teaching her and we started working the konmari method in her room too hahaha I'm so proud of her.

"develop those muscles of discernment"- great phrase

14 wholesome minutes of krist & yu. my lovvve. yu go gurl.

I did/still do some of that, with the nostalgic stuff. But at some point it got overwhelming. I bought a Hobonichi and any wrappers or stickers I want to keep I paste in there and write a bit about it. As for the childhood stuff, maybe try what I did. Take it out, sift through it, enjoy the memories, and toss some. I swear, each time you go through the "stuff" means less and less. You find yourself wanting the space to help you live the life you have now!

I cleaned out my sentimental items in stages. When i first did the konmari method a few years ago, i removed some sentimentla items that where not longer sentimental; over the years when i check my box to remmeber and such, everytime i remove bits of it bc the items don't mean anything now, and is ok

OH MY GODD WE MISSED YU SO MUCHHHH YOU'RE A VITAMIN FOR ALL OF US THANK YU SO MUCH 💜💜💜💜 LOVE YU

You are enthousiastic and calming at the same time! So nice!

omg thank you so much for doing this video. i am actually thinking of decluttering my space right now and getting rid of the unwanted stuffs. i have tons of stuff i need to get rid of but couldn't because i was attached to them... i have tons of books but i know i can't get rid of them because I'm a bookworm but the part that i really need to work on is getting rid of the sentimental items... I'm like you too, a sentimental person but I'm gonna work on letting things go. thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm looking forward to the other parts of the series. all my love. 💙💙💙

its december and its the best time of the year to go through this detox series

Yessssssssss queen be teaching me gold✨✨✨✨

I saw a holo wallet in your sentimental items which was from the girl date video where you went to get your nails done a long time ago❤️❤️

Beautifully said! I think you explained everything brilliantly.

omg krist I JUST watched an episode of the KonMari series on netflix and here you are with a Decluttering video using the KonMari method!

I gotta say what really helped me declutter my clothes was first, doing an initial pair down of everything. I had so much stuff i haven't worn since high school that i was going to get rid of and it made it so much less daunting when the rest was piled up.

you're one of my top youtubers!! so glad to be a new video from you :)

I have to move, and cleans my tiny apartment of 10 years of collected stuff. This really helps. Thank you. Also whenever you say "komono" - I know what it means. :) - I hear "kimono," because I am a kimono collector, and studied the art of kitsuke for a while. Going through all the kimono I own took me an entire day. I ended up getting rid of half of what I have and sending it to other kimono collectors in a group I'm in. I kept only the ones that gave me joy.

i love how your new videos are going

krist is back !!!!!

The hands down easiest one is sentimental items for me bcs i love change and leaving the old behind I value more who I am today and who I wanna become tommorrow. I also had a very rough childhood and teenage years so I wrote texts and songs and had a lot of stuff that showed me how miserable I felt during those times and one day I threw them out and felt the instant relief. Out of sight out of mind rly. I have a very tiny amount that 100% sparks joy and that's all I need. One thing I love tho are photos and i think you could take fotos of those nostalgic items you used to love and so 20-30 years later you can open them and look at them and remember wich is what the item actually does. It makes you remember the past, the joyfull moments in life.

I found you not a long time ago,but I'm freakin' obsessed with your videos and I love you so much❤You are one of my inspiration to get to know myself and develop my personality.I just want to be the best version of MYSELF and not anybodyelse.I would love to see a book recommandation of you,because I believe that books can change lifes.

I WAS SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS! i love krist && i love decluttering

Came because it says "How to Detox", stayed because there were Funkos. Thanks for being so thorough and relatable 💕

I actually bought that book because of you and it really does help! I would say i have alot of stuff so these type of videos do get me into the right mind to reorganise✨🌟thanks

You look so much more older and wiser than in the room decor video I watched yesterday... You knida remind me of lavendaire, but without purple hair.

Watching this before I clean my room cause I'm too lazy so I NEED MOTIVATIOOON.

i love how "clean" your videos are!!! i feel relaxedd

Can’t wait for the rest of the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I actually just started decluttering and cleaning my home using this method🙈

I'm so happy!!

For sentimental items I recommend scanning them (if possible)! That way it doesn’t occupy space, but you still have access to them

I always need your videos honestly

Literally cleaning rn and refreshed youtube for yu to upload!

okay this is what i needed, i'm gonna go tidy up now, thank you for this new motivation x

yay watching this right before i clean my unnaturally messy room :))

Yesss videooo! Love your hair, ideas and editings so much

i love love love you & i missed missed missed you 🐥

I loooove this new series! actually started to clean my clothes!

Welcome back Kristine, I love your videos!

For sentimental items: You can also take photos of everything and write about what memories each item brought you so you have less times taking up space, but you still have them and their memories recorded.

i actually had your original konmari video in my watch later, and when it disappeared i was like D: oh no where'd it go? i just love your style of video and particularly that one was one that i was sitting on bc i need to detox my possessions. i'm glad you're making a whole series now :D
