Agreed!!!

I agree absolutely and completely!!!!!!!

I totally agree

Truth.

I'll take you over them ANYDAY!🙂

OMG YES IT BULLYS ME!😭

That’s kinda a “victim” statement to me. 🤨

@@tyhawl1 Just a short cut way to say how burdensome clutter is. It's liberating to have it gone and revel in the space left behind. Decluttering is taking charge and freeing up our mental space.

@@tyhawl1 Not if you're recognising the bullies and then cutting them out of your life for good.

⬆️⬆️⬆️👏👏👏

Yes yes yes. This needs to be a daily reminder!

This response 🥰🥰🥰 exactly.

Yes, indeed.🙂

Agree and what a lovely comment! ❤️

Yes! Leslie speaks the truth. And what a good tip: focus on your favourite feature! For me, it is my eyes. They are hazel just like my Father's. It really helps me to focus on priority makeup.

I agree, she is adorable from the inside out! No need to worry about what you look like, you look just fine!

This is what I came here to say! Cas, I think you are gorgeous! Your face is so expressive & inviting.

Love this!

Thank you for speaking the truth to me! I just grew up some more from watching you learn too! Stick together girls!

This was beautiful!

​​​​​@@Clutterbug MODERN SKINCARE LIE: hey cas, you said you have skin issues,so did I since 13 & at the age of 25 I've tried many skin/hair care products for acne/dandruff etc only to realize that most of the modern skin/hair care is a lie, even the soaps and face washes,shampoos. - ACNE CAUSES: the reason we get acne is because foaming, anti-bacterial products with harsh preservatives mess with our natural microbiome and deplete our natural oils I.e sebum which is the best moisturizer, only reason it clogs pores is because we kill our good bacteria which actually help us fight bad bacteria and repair other issues. But due to years of marketing and brainwashing we've gotten used to the "squeaky clean" feeling which is purely psychological. - GUYS SECRET:many guys who don't do skin care (one's that don't use facewash and soaps & just use water) have good acne free skin, even if there's ocassional acne/unless it's hormonal/due to food. - WATER CLEANSING: even that can be helped with just using water to cleanse/oil cleanse without excess but with little gentle massage without too much scrubbing to remove sunscreen/makeup (as that's water proof). - FULLERS EARTH: Or use very little fullers earth powder (clay)/any non-anti-bacterial natural cleanser that doesn't have anything else that's problematic added as facewash without overly rubbing/stripping natural oils till you get used to water cleansing. - MICROBIOME FRIENDLY MOISTURIZER: & Using sunflower oil which is non-comdedognic-doesnt't clog pores/aloe vera gel as moisturizer if sunflower oil doesn't work or any microbiome friendly moisturizer that's free of comedogenic ingredients & harsh preservatives. that too only if your skin still breaks out because your sebum has depleted other wise just sebum acts as moisturizer. And sunscreen is still needed though. And it takes some weeks for the skin to adjust to this. - ACNE MECHANICA: And given that you keep everything that touches your hands and face clean eg.hand,face towels,phone,neck pillows,pillow cases etc. Because that causes acne mechanica : caused by irritation/catching dirt from objects. - HAIR CARE: Same for hair I switched from shampoos & conditioners to washing with fullers earth and few drops of light oil to the ends post wash to battle dryness and my hairfall went away 90%. rhassoul clay is a better option. -WATER CLEANSING HAIR: just water cleansing if you don't use hair oils in high amounts, don't go in pollution and use chemical based hair products and are willing to wait for 3-6 months so over production of sebum calms down then that works too. May be I'll try aloe vera gel for edges of hair too. - Even many dermats don't know about this except ones that are updated. - TEMPORARY PRODUCTS: And most external anti-ageing products are temporary with many side effects, and some products might Even age people faster. - SOCIAL SHAMING: I was shamed into using a moisturizer by a teen my age & socially conditioned to use facewashes/creams the moment I stepped into modern society but before everything was fine because I was a sheltered kid. - HONEST STORY: Only brand that made me realize was the brand named honest.story on ig and if you want to go even deeper you can read the book "clean'" by James hamblin (based on which honest story was formed). And focusing on prevention of root causes is a better step to Better health too. - CELEBRITY HARDSHIPS: and no hate to celebs but they're just normal people that are just expected to stay perfect hence they need to risk their mental well being & even health & waste their hard earned money by undergoing surgical procedures and health than fixing the root causes. - CELEBRITY HARDSHIPS 2: And most of them have to keep up their appearances by using makeup,dermatological procedures etc. and side effects of all that are so many that you could write a book on it. - PRICE OF BEING A CELEB: i wouldn't want to be a celeb even if i could even with all the pros because they need to run to quick fixes than actually have the time to figure out root causes..

Thanks for the info!

YES! Even natural stuff has oils that will go rancid eventually. I try to keep one thing that works for me and use it until its gone.

I have some fragrance creams and perfumes that are more than 10 years old. They were expensive gifts. But I am finding a lot places that I go to, you cannot where perfumed products anymore. Should I keep or donate or trash. Thanks

I use any expired cosmetic oils as lubricants for door/wardrobe door/screw/hinge/any machinery like printer/any mechanisms by using a needle and a syringe to lead oil to nooks and cranies lol which keeps em good as new. - SHAMPOO REPURPOSE: And use shampoos as detergent for my combs/random stuff that doesn't touch the skin etc. - BOTTLE REPURPOSING: keep the bottles and use them as diy projects so it's not wasted. I keep googling things as to how to use those things, eg. Toothpastes can be used to remove scratches from plastic & a lot more. - CONDITIONER/CREAM REPURPOSING : tell me what I can do with conditioners without it having to be used by humans, Idk what I could use the conditioners/creams as though, may be used creams as foot cream if they're not wayy past the expiry date (or may be not since you say they're useless) or may be creams and conditioners both can be used as lubricants for machines too (i won't use it for any thing expensive like a printer though,but just something like a door hinge). -NAIL PAINT REPURPOSING : I can use nail paints/mascara for diy art or naming my clothes/items in hurry ,empty the mascara bottle and fill castor oil in it to use it as lash and brow oil. And fill clear nail paint bottle with a good oil to use as nail/cuticle oil, The ideas are too many. - MINDFUL SHOPPING: And I think hard about what product to buy and if i really need it,and if I can fix it naturally by figuring out the root cause, every bad purchase is a lesson.

There you go!

She really is!!

I just love kids. They are so honest!

Aww! So sweet, and true!!

What a sweetheart

Seriously yes! 🤍

ikr? She looks fantastic!

I think it's really sad that so many women are insecure about how they look. And it doesn't seem to matter what anyone else thinks... I've read that Michelle Pfeiffer thinks she looks like a duck... And Elizabeth Taylor never understood why people thought she was beautiful. Cass, you're gorgeous. Start trying to believe that.

HERE, HERE...I AGREE!!

Also agree. You are far more lovely than Kardashians.

Exactly! I have never wasted a single minute of my life by watching The Kardashians, but I can easily spend couple of hours binge watching Clutterbug-videos. And feel soo much better of myself, my home and the world afterwards! 😃🥰

@@tuikkur.5655 Same here! 🤗

@@tuikkur.5655, I'm with you; will not waste 1 second of my life watching Kardashians. But, will binge watch Cas and put her USEFUL tips to work!

Ouch. This hurt to read. Some things are too special to let go. I kept my boys baby grows. It’s my reminder that they were once my babies. ❤

Yes! I have donated towels to the humane society.

Animal shelters also accept old blankets and comforters for bedding and with winter coming the needs are urgent. ☮️💖🙏

Yea the animal shelters take blankets, towels etc. I also know a vet tech that buys blankets at Goodwill for her furry friends.

Can I just say that I love you? I really do! I thank God that I found your channel. You are a rockstar girl 💪👍👏 Also, Domestic Violence shelters take gently used items like make up, lotions, beauty products ect. And animal shelters love blankets, sheets, towels ect.

I was thinking the same thing! I hope those makeup bags and plastic bins didn’t end up in the actual trash. Those could definitely be reused by someone else! And there are plenty of places that take travel items, lightly used makeup, etc, but even if you can’t find an organization it’s worth asking people we know if they want any of them too. I know a stranger might not want my barely used lotion, but my sister or friend might not mind at all. Let’s try to not make decluttering more wasteful than it needs to be! 🙏🏼

And your advice! Got rid of a good amount of trash last week and was waiting for this to come out so I could tackle week 2 as well :)

Yes!!! Definitely not a fraud. Cas, you're relatable and I love that you called this stuff your bullies in the bathroom. My guilty pleasures are beauty products and skincare; trying to find something that works for my skin too. OH and I love shampoo. My husband: Do you really need 3 different kinds of shampoo bottles in the shower? Yes. Yes I do. I rotate them out lol.

We buy into the myth of beauty for awhile, then we learn the truth and we get set free!

Going down memory lane with "a vanity" (do they exist any more?), I never had one. Beyond that, I have gotten rid of 'home permanent' rollers along with the papers, and hair rollers worn to bed more frequently than I care to admit (haven't used them since I got married). Electric tools have replaced those, yet they too are numerous and wear out, and somehow are hard to toss out.

Exactly! Cass, you are nothing like the Kardashians and that is one of the biggest compliments I can think of!

I love the thought of the house being lighter, thank you.

This is so amazingly true- LOL! I love mugs, but only have one or two guests over. TY for permission to cull the collection ((:

Me too, it is great!

I love their products!

Same!!!!

My teen, who has eczema, loves CeraVe products

Glad I could help!

Aw, you're so welcome!

Ooh this is good! Thank you for this comment!

I'm tossing out the samples! And just need to stop taking all the hotel shampoo!

Thank you so much!!

The green containers from DollarTree 💚💚💚 I love them but have too much:( how do I organize my organizers lol??

@@mrslvw ha good for you

@@mrslvw use them as gift containers for small gifts, co-worker Christmas snack pack, a get well box for someone etc

@@herefortheacoustics9987 thx but I know what to do with them and am not opposed to just donating them. My issue is knowing what to keep as not done organizing my house so not sure. I also want the colors and styles I have and am afraid won't be around if need later lol. Stupid I know but it's a "simple" declutter that I can't resolve.

@@mrslvw I'm bad about shoving the extra storage containers under my bed. Now the cat can't hide under there. Lol

@Tanea Smith Your very sweet 🥰

At 61 myself I day amen! to this. 💞

SO TRUE! I'm 75 & I'm telling my kids...love who God made you to be, only He knows how precious we are!!!

I donated mine when there was a local flood & that was one of the things they were requesting urgent need for. I'm like, I have a couple boxes I don't need!!

Too funny! 😂

Local women shelter maybe?

I use a Diva Cup and don't use tampons anymore. But I keep a basket of tampons and pads in the cabinet next to the toilet in every bathroom. I have two daughters and I want their friends to be able to find anything they might need in an emergency.

I will always keep some for the younger women in my life, but they only need so many for emergencies. I remember my Grandmother having some in her bathroom closet all her life -- she had a hysterectomy after her 4th child, but still had some really old stuff in her closet when she passed at age 83. lol

About 2 weeks ago I unsubscribed KZfaq channels I was not looking at, no longer had interest in, the channel is taking very long/or not posting any new videos or gave me a negative effect/anxiety.

When I start approaching 100 channels, I go through them real quick and unsub about half of them. There are only 2 channels I have never unsubbed and that is Cas' and Kathryn's (Do It On A Dime). I went through this phase of watching people metal-detecting... now I can't for the life of me figure out how I was even remotely interested in that. lol

@@rosepetal1332 I’m literally subscribed to “the boring channel”. My hubby is like, why are you watching a guy mow lawns 😂, It was calming ok! Don’t judge me!

@@rosepetal1332 and I just counted, I’m at 260 subscriptions… definitely need to pare down!

@@rosepetal1332 I did it! Down to 64 ☺️ Didn’t take as long as I thought it would, go me! Now my husband and son can stop teasing me lol.

I have a hard time with letting go of home decor and craft projects too!

I agree. I am the same. I have so much decor. And craft supplies. So afraid is getting rid of it. 😖

This was a real struggle for you. You are so brave to share the experince. You are perfect just the way you are.

I just gave away 6 bags of soap crafting stuff , I thought some day I would go back to making soap and its been over 2 years :/ felt so good to give to someone that was super excited to sty to make soap :D

With ya! And I used to be terrible about returning stuff. I finally stopped buying certain stuff at hard to return stores so now when I get home and it doesn't work I actually take it back.

Big, big hug back!

You go Girl....I'm back out to the garage, again....to work thru the craft supplies.

@@kimberlywalker1015 you can do this! Craft supplies are hard. I have to downsize my craftroom by about half.

That's Oscar!

Yup, I feel this. Sometimes I buy things as a way just to feel better for a little bit. 😭 Then I feel bad my weakness got the better of me! I've returned quite a few things in the process of trying to break the habit.

Good for you!

Yep, decluttering my "past self" is a bitter pill; going from full-on Goth to SEN boy mum >,

Ooo!! That's a great advice that I also have never heard before!! Thanks!

oh my gosh, I NEVER thought of that!!! That's brilliant.

From someone who fosters kittens, ty! we can never have enough towels/blankets.

My pharmacy is in the kitchen,my bathroom is tiny

Chocolate flavored fish oil?! 🤮 I wish I could take it, but I got a bad headache.

I just trashed my fish oil, too. Used it nightly until pregnancy made it gross, and it went bad in 3 months. Gone. Also, I store vitamins in my kitchen, too. No space in my tiny bathroom

@@sabatham I store mone in the kitchen as well.

I did the same thing ! Never getting chocolate cod liver oil again. Plain tastes better.

Oh my goodness, this is my life! Except it’s still in boxes….

Thank you so much1

Thanks for sharing!!

Me too. That closet. Uhh

The Minimal Mom has a few closet follow along with type videos. I found them to be very useful, and was able to actually weed out the useless clothes that I had. I don't know why we tend to need permission, to get rid of basically crap.

Don't donate any makeup that your skin has touched.....it will have bacteria, and no one wants to deal with any risk right now. Bottles that you pour into your hand, like cleansers, moisturizers, shampoos are ok to donate, just use alcohol pad to wipe caps and pumps.

I found my stain remover by buying a half used tube at a garage sale. The other stuff is gotten previously was not effective.
