Hey there, I'm Carla and I started this channel as a creative outlet and experiment.
My goal is to create a home I feel proud of, a body I feel good in and a wardrobe I love... while inspiring you to do the same! I’m excited to share as I makeover my little L.A. abode (one room at a time), curate my style (with capsule wardrobes) and heal my body (50 pounds gone so far). Let’s upgrade our lives together...one project at a time. Excited to see where this journey takes us. Subscribe for new videos every Sunday!

Same here. This is real life decluttering and knowing that everything doesn’t need to be done at once makes it doable. It’s a process, everything doesn’t need to be perfect. Just keep going.

"I'm going to push my car in a river, because they do it all the time in Ozarks" 😂🤣😂🤣 I have felt this! The amount of times I've contemplated burning down the donations corner in my home office space, just because I don't want to go to 5+ places to get rid of everything... ugh!

Definitely try to find a place that will take just about anything. If it’s all getting donated. Our local hospice thrift store takes pretty much anything I can’t think of anything they have ever turned away

That feeling of wanting to push the car into a river with everything in it, I know it well 😆 I'm in the middle of a massive declutter and I've often thought how that box of matches in the kitchen might do me a favour! Well done for getting all follow up jobs done, I find they're worse than the decluttering. What a sweet boy Samson is 😊

I love those little libraries. It definitely is harder when you have to carry things up the stairs. I swear Samson would have driven if you'd have given him the chance :) Oh no.. Isn't that the way .. you finally get your poop in a group and start in and then things start to go wrong. Goodwill full/wrong box. Ours has been we are making great progress on things and then something breaks and sidetracks us or some health related thing comes up. But we can always get started again. Thanks for the tip on the Thread Up. I have a lot of clothes and like you I HATE doing the consignment. Make an appt.. only allows 10 items at a time.. super picky even though a lot of the stuff in the store is not as nice as what I'm trying to consign. Then I think oh maybe eBay and then I NEVER do it. Great great great tip !!! It's going on my to do list.. A few down the line, but still on the list :)

Hi Carla and Samson. I'm a subscriber but some videos have been slipping through my 🤌😅. That makes them even more precious when I find one. 😊 I'm "spring decluttering", I know that's no real verb 😂 and honestly I don't need an excuse for decluttering, bc it's always decluttering season in my home. One thing: I love your bedroom. So cozy and the big windows are so inviting.

I have huuuuge bag of returns to make to Marshalls and TJ Maxx that’s been sitting under my desk in my office since before covid hit in March 2020. I still haven’t gone into my office, but you’ve motivated me to get to my office and return those items! I’m glad they still accept them years later. I’ve been a recovering shopaholic for a while, got rid of unused items, and doing much better now, purchasing only things I NEED. Thanks for sharing your journey. Xx

At Christmas I wear myself out sending boxes of small gifts to various nieces and nephews' families here in Southern California. One time I was mailing at UPS and the clerk should me how to cut down a box to the needed size. I have done that many times since then.
I can relate to the post-it todo list. Short keeps me on task. I’ve actually started to use a blank library card, though. They are relatively inexpensive on etsy or amazon, and a library card makes me smile when I look at it. Bonus- it stays legible and not wrinkled all weekend..or however long it takes me.

Hi Carla. I thoroughly enjoy your videos always. I have been binge watching and you have eased my anxiety about decluttering my wardrobe especially as we are about to move. Its a daunting task and i didn't know where and how to begin. I love it when you show us your friends. I worry about you living there alone without family. We would love to know your background, family, how come there's no man in your life etc(typical nosey viewer😂). By the way, putting your desk infront of an AC is a bad idea because these things always harbour mold no matter how much they are cleaned. Better to sit away from it. Also for your migraines, try fennel tea and ginger tea is great for allergies as well as many other inflammatory conditions.
Great video, life is so much easier with less isn’t it. Loved the sightseeing trip, take care Caroline 🇬🇧

Hi, Carla and Samson!❤This video was also a city tour , I liked to see your city 😊. And very inspirational for decluttering! We have recycling clothes bins in cities ( I am following you from Romania) where I go immediately after declutter, with clothes that can't be donated, and if it is something that I can donate, I post photos with items, on a local group for donations. After that I go at the person who wanted the items and I give. I am not sure if I can sell some, they are not expensive things... Thank you for video! ❤ 🤗
Hello from Denmark 🇩🇰 Thank you so Munch for this video, I would love to go with you and your friend on another virtuel trip 😍
I love that bunny bag btw
Good job getting everything decluttered and returned! It's a daunting task but very rewarding once all those spaces are empty! Also! I noticed your mask is see through so please double mask if you can to stay healthy I don't want you to get sick! Take it easy and have a wonderful day!!
