Hi! WELCOME! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Jia. Hubby’s name is Charles. Our little ones are Zara (11) and Ava (8). If you need motivation on decluttering, cleaning, organizing and just getting it done, you are in the right place. This is Real life. Real messes. Real moments. And Real love. Did I mention, I love to shop. So tons of Shop with me’s, Costco hauls, and much more. Of course on a budget, because we live a debt free life. If you need help with that, we talk about that too! As a working mom, I share what works for us. I hope to inspire, encourage, and learn. Join me on this journey!
So motivating!! And nice to see a declutter/reorganize that didn't require $200 worth of matching bins to look good!!!
I love this quote: "If you're not using the stuff in your home, get rid of it. You're not going to start using it more by shoving it in a closet somewhere". Congrats on your transformation, I enjoyed your video. Keep it up!!!!
Well this is an Amen or Ouch quote😂
That clothing could bless women in shelters that are trying to make a new life for themselves.
Im a professional organizer and you did so good. It is perfect, perfect for you and that is all that matters. you’re blessed to be a blessing!
When you said you felt like you did so much and absolutely nothing at the same time I felt that in my spirit.. that is me everytime I try to tackle my clutter.😢
This came out so well!! I love the fact that when you showed us the 9 bags that you decluttered you said that you were immediately going to take the bags out of the house. I think that's where a lot of us go wrong - we don't get the bags out of the house which can sometimes rob you of the sense of accomplishment because the stuff is still in the house. Thanks for sharing.
Or you end up going back through it and picking the odd bit out!! 🙄😭🤣
Again, inspiring!! "No part of me wants to do this". I feel this so much about the clutter. I'm going to get moving on my clutter TODAY because of you!!!
This is the hard thing about building a home you stay in for years and years! I never had a lot of stuff until we settled down and now I feel like a hoarder 🤣🤣 A blessing and a curse 😁
Don't feel bad ,many of us have the same issues. I heard a lady saying "for every new item for the closet ,one has to go".I should do that too.
Clothing i wear only at certain times of the year i put into vacuum bags. Sometimes clothes sitting around for a long time have a smell and need to be rewashed to wear.
Jia, I'm sure there are many of us here who are really proud of you! You did remove a lot! Great job, it is not easy to let go of things for so many reasons. Thank you for the inspiration to do it. 😊 Love this curly/wavy look on you too! ❤
Good heavens, what a huge cupboard, that’s the same size as a third bedroom here in the UK
Exactly what I was thinking!! Our tiny British rooms!
Proud of you! One of my phrases for this year is: just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. ❤
I'm about to tackle my closet and i needed inspiration and i found it. Let's do this!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
AMEN! I have to tell myself that the woman I am striving to become would not subject herself to this!
Jia, girl- I feel so validated right now! I feel like my closet is total chaos, when in reality there's no house with proper storage. I'm in the same boat- I do my own nails, my own hair, waxing, etc. but there's nowhere to put things without my closet looking like a flea market! Like you, I've been on the purging/decluttering kick this year but I know there's still so much left to do and it's really overwhelming. Props to you!
You did a great job reducing your closet. I have been watching a few of your decluttering videos and I am enjoying them all.
Happy Mother's Day ! Just want to tell you how much I appreciate your REAL LIFE project, and how inspired I am. You go girl !!
The most relatable and realistic declutter video I’ve ever seen. I have to figure out my hair products and piles too. Can’t part with them yet lol! Thank you so much for sharing this. Now I’m a new fan and follower. 😊
I'm so happy to see progress! I would add that those belongings you are not ready to let go, you can put on a "time will tell" bin. If you don't touch it or remember what is in it, it goes directly to donation.
i'm at 11:21, when I get frustrated or overwhelmed - wanting to stop- I take the trash out, and bag up the donations. take them down to the car. you'll see what's leaving as you fill the car! you'll come back to empty space! it's really inspiring and exciting.
Super motivating! I have a small bin for Disney only clothing:). Also, I am a Business Professor and there are so many women that need professional attire and there are organizations out there that need clothing to be able to help all the women. .
I had that same purple coach purse. I gave it away to my mom when I decluttered. 💜
You did a really good job. I felt you when you wanted to quit. It feels good to start but figuring out how to organize and throwing things out can be a challenge. It gets so overwhelming but the end result is rewarding
The limited was my favorite. You can find some items from them online still.
LOVED the Limited!! My daughter kept one maternity shirt to prevent pregnancy :)
"I feel like I've done so much and nothing at the same time" I can relate to this on so many levels. Good to see you girl! Long time since I've commented!!! ❤
I wanted to truly thank you for your openness and vulnerability in making this video! Myself (and so many others) are right there with you on how much stuff has piled up and it’s suffocating! I am a Amazon Vine reviewer and get 8 free products a day if I want which has been a blessing and curse since I already had problems my entire life having too many clothes and “stuff” and this has just added to the problem! But I have watched your video and it gave me the motivation to start the process of decluttering and minimizing and continue to push forward until it’s complete! It’s been almost my entire life I’ve always had to many clothes and now at age 37 (and thanks to your video) I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY purged my clothes and I have an organized everything and room feels AMAZING! I’ve watched countless of other videos, but yours was the one that just clicked something inside of me and ignited my motivation! So thank you thank you thank you! And you did such a wonderful job with your space!!!
I want to thank you for posting this. I actually started doing my closet while playing your video. I felt like you were here with me so I was not by myself tackling something that pulls you away from other things that need to be done for the family and the house. And I just want to let you know today’s Mother’s Day and this is what I’m doing, but it is a gift for me and that’s how I have to look at it. Thank you again for sharing. Hugs.
Great job!…..I can totally relate. Suggestion: putting like color clothes together - that makes finding things easier and can get ready faster also ❤
Closet looks good. Decluttering can be very overwhelming,but the end result is so worth it.
Progress is always a WIN!! You are starting to get those declutter muscles!😉👍
Hello Jia, for hair organization just a suggestion, my grandmother growing up used to keep all her hair in a suitcase to keep it organized and contained and labeled that suitcase as the hair suitcase. I do this method to this day to keep all my synthetic and human hair organized.
Get a clear bin for the hair so it will be contained in one location and you'll be able to see it. This will also help you have a confined amount of space for it so that you don't buy outside of that dedicated space. For all of the travel items, set up a travel location. We initially had travel items all over and it was a nightmare when getting ready to travel. I took one of the entryway closets and turned it into a travel closet. Luggage on the bottom, travel bags on top and we have another shelf that I added to hold bins with small travel items. I'm slowly working on my closet. Kudos to you.
Declutter closet can be very overwhelming , when i first started declutter my closet it took me days just to get rid of a few things then i just put most of the stuffs back to where they were. It took me years to get rid of 75% of what i own. I think you did a great job!!!
All your videos of cleaning out got me so motivated. Hubs and I cleaned out the closets over the last couple of weeks. Sooooo many bags donated, 'missing" items found, and the ridiculous number of duplicate items in my closet...thank you so much for putting yourself out there because it has motivated many of us to join you!!!!
This is awesome girl! We got this
@@MarriageMotherhood Hi, where did you find that brown shoe rack organizer in your closet?
A classic example of how much stuff can take up our time X
Jia!!! I am feeling you on SO many levels!! Corporate America!!! 30 years of my life until I got sick and couldn't keep it up. Had SO MANY THINGS that were so HARD to let go of. 😢 They were part of a walk in closet that I was forced to downsize due to a move to a very small apartment. It just broke my heart. But I DID THE THING!! And four years later, im still working on it. Better is always better. You did amazingly well. Keep peeling that onion and I'll be here cheering you on!! ❤
One suggestion:: a clear crate just to hold all the hair products So its all in one place when it comes time to do hair for you and the kids The clear crate idea is key...so you can see its contents ❤
Oh my goodness you're a gift from our Father! Thank you so much. I have looked at a lot of video to declutter. Your video is more like me and how I am when I tackle a stressful task. You made something so overwhelming, less stressful, and doable. I asked the angels to send a video to me that is more like who I am. My prayers were answered. Thank you for sharing. You have me motivated. ❤
every time i watch one of your videos, i go and make something else in my house pretty. it never fails.
😘😘😘
Working on my closet. The limited is still my jam....they are available at Belk.
Hi, my motto is if you don't use it for 3 months get rid of it. I did a declutter recently also.
Great job! I put the donation pile in my car right away to clear space and discourage me from changing my mind.
Good on you for taking the time and putting in the effort to make your space match your needs and vision!! Hopefully it makes your life better from here on out :)
This is fantastic! And I totally related to what you said in the beginning, as the quote says “everything is hard before it is easy.” - Goethe
Jia I am so proud of you I knew you could do it look so very nice now
Jia you have done so well with all your decluttering x Don't know if this would be any help , but there is a free standing mirror that opens up and inside there is space for your jewelry, hairbrush ect xx
Starting is always the hardest step. Piece of advice for the stuff that you are unsure of, put them in a tub or a box and put a deadline on the top... if you dont reach for anything in that box within the period of time you gave yourself you can just grab the container and donate everything. That's what has worked for me when I find myself hesitanting while decluterring. Plus you did a good job pushing through the decision fatigue, that's definitely something to be proud about.
Great job! Just something which might help is to reverse all of your hangers. Once you wear an item then turn the hanger back the right way. After an amount of time (each season or 6 months etc), look through the items which are still turned the wrong way and ask yourself why you haven’t reached for it. It might be that you still want to keep it or it might not be something that you will wear again.
U inspire me…. ❤
😘😘😘
I bet it felt like Christmas decluttering that! You did amazing! My favorite videos of yours!! 🥰
Yes! It’s so nice!
This was fun to watch - you just need to splurge on some organizational totes with lids that will help store your items and also protect them from dust n such :)
Really Girl! Look at Dana K White! She’s all about not making a mess while declaring!!!! You are doing a great job! And it’s so motivating! Great job!!!!
What amazing work! You inspired me… I paused the video 3/4 through and collected two laundry baskets of stuff for consignment!
Great job! Thank you for leaving the parts in where you admit you just want to quit and then force yourself to push thru instead of just being rah, rah, rah...
I put a coat rack up and displayed some of my nice handbags this gives me pleasure in looking at them and also puts limits as to how many I can have 😊
Great idea
Finally a closet I can relate to lol. Mine looks like this or worse. The time has come 😩
I just tackled my closet in my room, which is two built-in wardrobes that go from the ceiling to the floor and take up a wall. I have four trash bags of old clothes that are going out. I'm embarrassed, but extremely good to see space in my closet. I have been putting this off. But today, I came across a video about the Swedish death cleaning and it was inspiring enough to make me get up and at least start. I'm so happy to have decluttered my room today. It feels so very great and it didn't take anywhere as much time as I would have thought. I'm on a mission to live more simply. After I watched that video, yours came up and so I'm watching it now. Next, I will tackle my daughters' closets to declutter and get rid of things. They have entirely too many toys and just things.
I often think what you said, “There is NO part of me that wants to do this”. It really does feel extra good after those things are done.
A much needed video. I'm inspired 😊
Great job!! Your closet looks so much better but how you feel about yourself and what you did is the real joy!!! Love you girl ❤
You did soooo good! Your attitude towards it of NO PART of you wanting to dive into it and being consumed in it is very much me! And not being ready to let go of corp clothing. I just became a SAHM last year, had 3rd baby and now pregnant with 4th and I all those clothes I know I wont be ready to let go of some. Plus the maternity and tons of baby clothes i have in cliset that I cant get rid of yet. And I store Christmas decor in my closet, and share with my husband! I hate it, so much stuff, no room and no motivation!😂
Wow you really created yourself alot of work, hopefully you remember how much you hate cleaning and organizing it so you remember to keep it organized and just pick up after yourself. But with that said, it looks amazing and I'm proud of you for coming more into your womanhood and wifehood of getting it together.
I've been out of the work place for 8.5 years and just now got rid of the last of my blazers. It felt great, but took a long time.
I understand sis! Its hard to let go
Love you seeing you flex your decluttering muscles by yourself. You did a great job. So proud!
Ohhh yes girl it took me 3 days to figure out jewelry,,,i need to purge half my house...my husband has no confidence in me..but im gonna do thus if it takes mr a year..plus i work 40 hrs .and my energy is gone after work....
Thank you for the inspiration for me to clean out my closet and bless someone with all my excess clothes. Thanks for being so down to earth in your conversation.😍
Thank you for showing how hard it is to do this work! It's a struggle and you don't hide that - I feel that if you can power thru it, I can too!
Way to go!!!! You did it! 😊 And, your smile is absolutely gorgeous! I love your positivity through it all. It's not easy to organize and declutter!
Thanks love 😘
You did such a good job. You can just tell that you are just so excited with what you have done. You inspire me to push myself. Just the other day I know I needed to go for my walk I just didn’t want to. I put on your video just for couple minutes before I knew it I was putting on my walking shoes. Omg it was the best walk. So thanks so much.
Rock Star!!! I’m helping my daughter with her closet right now. And I’m with you it’s so hard to keep pushing.
One of the best decluttering videos I’ve seen. I love how you take it by sections . Great motivation
I'm so proud of you. This is the first, you alone video, I've seen where you aren't, sorry not sorry, whining about being overwhelmed/ decision fatigue. 🎉🎉 I was always cheering you on to keep going. And was frustrated when you stopped. It looks amazing!!!
Been waiting for this one 🙌
I am all for that housekeeping. We have three women come in twice a week and the best investment we ever made!
I’m impressed! You should feel proud of yourself!
You got this ! Each step is part of the journey.
Rolling carts, drawers for nail stuff, hair and hair tools, makeup, etc.
Closet looks great! So proud of you!!❤
The more you flex your decluttering muscles the stronger they get! 🎉
Ma'am I'm right there with you. The amount of hair in my closet could start a small pop-up shop!! You helping me out momma.
I loved The Limited. So sad when it closed. You've done such a great job. I'm starting my closet declutter today. I'm both scared and excited.
Not judging you but thank you for taking responsibility for the mess in your closet. In a world where we’re always blaming someone else it really takes a mature person to take responsibility. I know you will feel so amazing for the end results. High five sister. You are rocking it.
I just can't believe you have a closet that is bigger than my whole bedroom. Lucky you.
The hair- too relatable. I used to make wigs back in the day so I have everything under the sun. I’m currently a stay at home mom but former teacher so I have a lot of professional clothes and have a hard time getting rid of stuff cause I’m like if I return to work I can use it but the truth is I can start fresh as well. I appreciate this video. I need to do some serious decluttering.
GOOD FOR YOU, IT LOOKS GREAT ❤❤❤
Gia! It looks amazing! What a huge difference! This was inspiring. I’m in desperate need of a closet declutter!! 😭 The Limited was my jam! In 2001 I had a job at the Ritz Carlton I had to wear suits. I got a Limited credit card and an Express card and of course went bananas with the nice suit jackets and pants. The Limited had the best silky knit sweater cami tank and cardigan sets. Ughh good times!! I really really miss early 2000’s Limited Express and NY&Co too. (Though I was in cc debt in my 20’s with all those cards! 😂 )
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the emergency-pack of hangers ❤❤❤
Thanks for posting this and encouraging me to get busy. I need to finish up the downstairs and I have 6 days before the exterminator comes. They come every 4 months. I want to make sure it is all done before he gets here. I have been putting it off! I just need to push myself to keep working at it because I know I will be so happy when it is done!
I remember the Limited. That shop had a lot of nice clothes and accessories.
Girl. Thank you. My house is good but my closet is a mess. I am about to go tackle it. It's time. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Jia, what an amazing job you did! That was hard work but totally worth it.
So glad you are keeping those yellow shoes! I spied them right away and was like, dang those are cute! ❤ You did an awesome job
I totally understand and I so appreciate your transparency and willingness to share the process. You're doing great!
Recently retired, I hear you on the corporate America clothes! You go girl!
Great job. I feel your pain lol. I am going to work on my closet. Thanks for your video.
Lord love you and bless you!!!
Looks quite nice. If you had given me a heads up I would have sent over my elves to lend some assistance.
Decluttering as I watch and yes, The Limited was everything! 😁🥰
