Reset Day | Get Your Life Together + Cleaning Routine ✨

Spend a Sunday reset day with me! Here's how I get my life together after traveling and leaving my life and home in a mess, including journaling, meditating, speed cleaning (ha, I wish I was that quick IRL), unpacking, working out and so much more. My reset routine has changed since I moved into an apartment with my bf, so I thought I'd share this updated one!

Cleaning Spray:
1-2 tb Castile soap
8 drops lavender essential oil
8 drops rosemary essential oil
5 drops grapefruit essential oil
Mix oil with soap then fill bottle up with distilled water.

Dishwasher all the way! Modern dishwashers can actually save more water as they wash the entire load in parallel with optimum amount of water. If it doesn’t fill with two people’s worth of dishes, it’s great to wash items that don’t get love. eg mason jars, other containers for dry goods, baby toys, bathroom items etc

I was really determined to be lazy and miserable today, but watching this video got me off my butt and I cleaned my room!

i really love the journaling thing, i used to when i was younger from age 10 to 18. but when i got to college i got so depressed i didn't want to write about anything sad, but hearing you explain it as a brain dump made so much sense to me and i'm going to be adding that in!!

[Cailyn_Amanda]

For my home made cleaning spray, I actually mix 1/2 distilled water, with 1/2 vodka, essential oil and a tablespoon or 2 of castille soap (I like the almond scent) and a sprig of rosemary. The vodka acts as a disinfectant and doesn't affect the smell like using white vinegar would. As the rosemary breaks down it adds oils to the mix that can polish wood. It's worked wonders for me.

Okay, I’ve been thinking about you all afternoon and your remark about how you love stretching and wish you could get skinny from stretching. Sweetie, you CAN! (And, you already ARE skinny, but that’s a topic for another time. 💖)
You are so mindful and thoughtful about everything else in your life, it was really strange to hear you talk about your workout and how you were exercising while watching videos (this isn’t a dig! I’m sorry if it sounds like one!).
Exercise should feel as present and mindful and JOYFUL as everything else you do, and believe me when I tell you that your body KNOWS when you exercise out of obligation rather than joy.
Biologically speaking, your weight is determined more by what you EAT than what you do. The SHAPE of your body is determined by the exercises you do most often (which is likely to be the ones you enjoy).
So often we feel like we “have to” exercise a certain way, but what if you set a higher standard for yourself and only do what you love?
Everybody deserves to be healthy AND happy. 💖💖💖

I lost my motivation in the past couple of days. In the middle of this vid, I slowly regained positivity and encouragement. You’re literally one of my greatest influencers in achieving my dream life. I genuinely owe you so much. Love love love love you, Aileen!! Been here for sooo long honestly!!💯💯💖💖💖

Hi Lavendaire! It's almost New Year, and I am stressed to finnish my school projects, be a good daughter who helps with cleaning. Every 6 months I declutter my room so I need to do that too.

[CineNOV]

I am SO glad I found you. As a recent grad, I was really miserable and felt powerless about where my life was going. I was realizing that I was just forcing myself to keep up with what my major was, and blocking out what really gave me joy. One day I just got out of bed and decided that I would take charge of my life and really figure out what my true passions are. That's when I found your vid on meditation. It's only been 2 weeks but your channel has helped me keep up with this new lifestyle and mindset. I feel like I have a buddy and a community to help me out on this journey.

Thanks so much, Aileen. XO

[melanyburattini]

I love the way you can make things as simple as taking a shower, taking care of our plants or even cleaning a suitcase actions so relaxing and that infuse positivity. I don't know how you can do it but it's really a source of inspiration, you are, and I think the matter is not only for me but also for many others💕

[angelicnic]

Regarding the whole dishwashing segment, I do both. I load up the dishwasher with pots, cups, plates, utensils etc and then hand-wash pans, bowls and any other large dishes. I find that hand-washing the larger items is best because then you can get rid of those hard stains that don't move at all in the dishwasher.

[shellykp]

What a lovely video! We are a family of three. From day to day I hand wash my dishes and use my empty dishwasher as a drying rack. If I've had a big cooking session or let the dishes pile up over a weekend then I will load the dishwasher and run it. But I find it much easier to do small batches of dishes by hand. I hate dirty dish clutter!

[catstrawford]

Thank you. From time to time my life will spiral out of control and so I'm always coming back to your channel for inspiration. ☺

[MissVasques]

I do both as some pots and pans and a cup don’t do Well in the dishwasher.
Dishwasher is a blessing now that I live with my dad after so many years in a student apartment where dishwasher wasn’t a option.


I meal prep a lot and those plastic boxes the meals end up in really can be a pain to get really clean when you don’t use a dishwasher.

Thanks for this vids, relaxing & inspiring.

[SexyBakanishi]

Your voice was so nice to listen to in this one. I dunno if you recorded in a different space or a new mic or new settings but it was so soft and comforting, like the topic I guess :)

[milliemao]

We have such a nice and warm community here and I am really grateful that you can share all this wonderful things with us!

[bookishbree]

The day after a big trip is often when I do my clothing and bookshelf declutter, I pick out items I don't want anymore to give away, I fix items that have been patiently waiting for my attention (today was fixing some buttons and my chest of drawers!) and I also like to have a short tidy. Getting the little things in order before the mad rush of daily life catches up with me can be so refreshing!

[isaxsyl]

Love this! I'm also a hand-washer. My dishwasher is basically my dry dish rack... or storage. If you ever plan to use a dishwashwer, make sure you get the right soap. The first time I used it, I thought any dish-washing soap would work and the whole kitchen floor was full of bubbles coming out of the dishwasher...It was "fun"
