I have impressed my visitors (ok, my mom) with my organized spice jars. And she does think I have my life together. It works!

[rachels]

I can't tell you how much your channel has helped me. I have ADHD and have struggled my entire life with organization, which as a woman has made me very self-conscious. Your videos have been such a huge help, especially the decluttering one. I've been able to take some of your suggestions, tweak them to what I know works best for me, and my apartment has actually started looking really nice, which has been a massive confidence boost. So I wanted to say a big thank you for all the effort that goes into your videos.

My friend saw her farmhouse signs, "Live, Love, Laugh", "Gather", "Eat", ect. in a photo and immediately took them all down. 😉 So yes, seeing your home in a photo gave her new perspective.

Honestly I think keeping my dining room table clear like she does would make a huge difference not just with a clean appearance, but also to be available as a workspace. When she was showing the folding I realized if I kept the table clear maybe I'd actually save my back and not mind folding laundry so much 🤯

The picture taking of a room idea is GENIUS!

swapping out the hardware on furniture is the same tip for clothing: you can change the buttons on a cheap coat to make it look better.

I had a horrible fight with my husband this morning. Watching your video for the first time made me laugh and smile 😊 . I fold my bathroom towels like you do, “spa style” and my mother in law commented on how fancy I fold. Made me giddy inside. Thanks for brightening my day. Sub earned!

One day I tossed my chunky/ oversized cardigans in a nice basket just to clean up really quick and realized they looked like blankets. It looks super cozy and I'm not going to bother hanging them anymore haha.

Careful with clear spice jars: some/many spices are sensitive to light and can lose nutrients this way! If you want to use clear jars, I think it’s better to store them in a drawer or cabinet that’s mostly shielded from daylight

I love it!: "YES IT DOES ALL BRING ME JOY!"

[ritabrandow]

I like your ideals about the photos but I am taking it further. I am going to use the photos when I am looking for something for my room. I am see something I like and now with the photos I can see how it would look before I buy it

[cindywitty]

Enjoyed the tips & tricks; truly, I plan on trying them~ may I suggest folding your bath towel on your table like you did your sweaters instead of your bathroom floor ~ 🤷‍♀️

[karensilver]

SO, just to clarify ... Marie Kondo is not a minimalist ! She’s about keeping things that “spark joy” and having a place for everything 😜 she has like a purse for every outfit, etc. ❤️love your video

[eileenlester]

Yes...I do/did these:
Repackaging products, decluttering, repainted hardware in kitchen, plants, not buying unnecessary small decorations, roll fold towels and clothes. 🌞

Taking a photo is an awesome way to check things out.
Your 'don't buy something because its inexpensive, but save up for a better product' also works well for fashion.
That Mid Century Modern desk is beautiful

The thermostat thing won’t work for most people because it actually has a temperature gauge on it. If you cover it up, it won’t be able to accurately measure the temperature in your house and that could cause a higher bill.

[deniseestrada]

Great tips! I'm not a minimalist either, however, I am decluttering & simplifying & found Marie Kondo's folding method for clothes amazing for our family. We can see everything in our drawers & it saves so much space!!

[amybeam]

Keeping your counters as clear and clean as much as possible is another tip. I added a paper towel rack to the inside of my kitchen counter door to get them out of the way but yet still be accessible. I also added hooks to the inside of my kitchen cabinet doors to hang potholders, bottle brushes etc. Leaving that stuff on the counter just makes your kitchen look low end and cluttered.

I love impressing hypothetical visitors too!! LOL!🤣

My spice rack game is about to get REAL, loved the recommendation
