As I aged I found reading on a kindle and the ability to change the font size has allowed me to read more. You probably aren’t in that season of life yet.

This is very timely for me. I am going through our storage boxes. We moved from a 2-Br apt with lots of storage to a 36 ft RV and put everything in storage until we could find a house. It's been 12 years and we are still in the RV so I am giving up the dream of a house (for now!) and getting rid of things!

My grandmother, used baking soda as tooth paste. We were visiting when my brother ask for tooth past,so I go in to brush my teeth, it was new to us,so we were fine with it, it made our teeth whiter and feel cleaner and fresh,but you don’t use a big amount,try not to sallow it, although it won’t you, I still wii put a pinch in water and drink it, it helps the sour stomach,or gas on tummy go away, you’ll belch. Really old remedy’s. Your right about cleaning, it’s great for everything you showed, it was hard as favorite. Good for Greece in cloths too. Have wonderful day.👍👍👍

I made the decision not to declutter kitchen appliances, even if I only use them a few times each year. Two of my personal goals are to cook from scratch whenever possible and to preserve fresh food (from our garden and local markets). Both of those tasks are easier and more efficient with the appropriate tools. Over the last few years, I've purchased the appliances and gadgets that are necessary and created a space for them in our basement storage area. These items don't need to take up valuable real estate in the kitchen, and I know exactly where they are when I'm ready to can 50lbs of tomatoes, do a major food prep day or bake a special treat :)

Great list of 23 in 2023! Animal shelters, rescue organizations, and vet offices often LOVE towels, blankets, and bedding donations. We love knowing our items will help animals in need (and the people caring for them). 😃 Also, I was inspired by one of your previous videos and switched out all of my dishes and any entertaining pieces (which I also decluttered) to all white. I really thought I'd miss my colorful Fiestaware, but I am LOVING our streamlined and versatile selection of dishes! NO regrets!! I bought a set of Corningware from Wal-Mart and it takes up a lot less space and is easier and less expensive to replace if soemthing gets broken. That advice was so impactful - thank you!♥

Jewelry can become a problem. I decided that the way out of the problem was to buy only fine jewelry. I carefully thought about what kinds of jewelry to buy - what styles suited my lifestyle and wardrobe, what flattered me, what enhanced my professional image, what I truly loved. I searched for jewelry that could do double-duty, for example hoop earrings that were yellow gold on one side and white gold on the other, necklaces that were adjustable in length, several different pendants for each chain, smaller rings that could be stacked in many ways. I spent time deliberating on each purchase - was it truly a good buy? Did I truly love the piece? Was it timeless and durable? When you slowly build a small but wonderful jewelry collection, you won’t feel the need to constantly add to it because you’ll want to wear the pieces you already have and love. I organize my jewelry in small, portable, soft-sided organizers that can be easily hidden in my home or taken away in an emergency. 😊

A few examples: ice cream scoop (spoon works just as well), toaster (I don’t really toast and the one/two times a year I do, using my broiler for 3 min/side works perfect). Some I sold for just a few $$ online, the rest I donated.
