[GENTLE PIANO MUSIC]
Guys. Hey.
So I'm just having, like, the worst
stomach pain.
I was, like, sucking on ginger candy and hugging the plushie.
Yes, the one, if you saw my short that I got in Vegas at MINISO.
I think that's how you say it.
It's a Japanese store in Shanghai Plaza in Vegas.
Anyway, I think it's adorable.
Can you tell what animal this is supposed to be?
Other than the fact that it's obviously also a flower.
It's a bear.
I could not tell that at first.
I had to read the tag, but apparently this bear's name is Hailey.
But it's the softest thing in the universe.
So if you have a Miniso where you live,
they have a bear named Hailey that's the softest thing in the universe.
Anyway, now that I ate ginger candy, I feel a little bit better.
And I feel like we might be able to do
my original dream of today, which is go to the thrift store.
So I've talked before about how I'm allergic to
whatever detergent they wash everything with,
or maybe just like a spray, whatever it is
that they put on the clothes at the store
my body hates.
However, if I soak it
for several hours in a vinegar solution
and then wash it through
like five loads of laundry consecutively,
it’s able to take the smell out enough for me to wear it.
But whatever I buy has to be able to withstand that.
Right?
Like, if it's super delicate or going to come apart
after that much washing, then there's no point of me getting it.
But before we do that, I think we should open my under bed
storage things I actually got in the mail a few days ago and never opened.
No, I threw...
I threw Hailey and she fell off the bed.
[SAD WHIMPER]
She can go right here.
She can go back to her spot.
I should really get a package opener so they don't have to
just keep using a knife.
But that would require too much forethought.
So I got one of those Amazon renewed products.
Or basically someone return this.
So I got it slightly cheaper, since it was a return.
Let's see the status of this return.
It was in absolutely new condition.
I really love getting the Amazon used products because usually they are
in perfectly new condition just repackaged and you get them for cheaper.
Anyway, I had already bought this exact under bed organizer before.
I know it fits perfectly under my bed and they're really nice quality,
but I just needed more of them.
I needed more space for my ever growing
sheet collection because you guys know I am obsessed with Brooklinen sheets.
My ultimate goal here was to try to get all of my bedding into these organizers
because I do just have this giant comforter sitting in my closet.
It is the comforter that guests use whenever they come visit the house.
But it's a pain to store because it's so fluffy
and well, it's too fluffy.
[SCRAPING SOUNDS]
I feel like I could fix this with tape, but I completely slit the thing.
So these under bed organizers are just high enough that they fit
nicely under my bed as long as apparently they're not overfilled like this.
And so I think it hit like a screw or some metal thing that just like,
sliced the plastic open when I pushed it under.
So this one was already kind of split.
I think I had done it before with whatever metal things under there.
I feel like if I
get that clear packing tape, I can like tape it up though.
So that should be good.
I just think I need to accept the fact that the comforter doesn't
fit in it.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
[TAPE CRINKLES]
Okay, It's all patched up.
It's nowhere near as pretty as it once was, but it's better than it was.
I just need to remember not to over
fill them.
I have a bad feeling I'm not going to remember that in the future.
Okay, let's get ready to go to the thrift store.
Yes, my room is still a mess.
But this point, I'm going to have to troubleshoot what I can
put in there that is not the comforter and where I'm going to put the comforter.
And I don't have the mental capacity for that right now.
So let's go store.
[POP MUSIC]
[MUSIC: Sometimes so many
[possible things can get you and make you forget who you are.
[How brave and how strong you are.]
So I ended up getting about $38 worth of stuff.
So this vinegar washing plan had better work.
Otherwise, I just wasted, like, $38.
But I'm very excited with the stuff I got.
I ended up getting this blue
sort of like leisure pajama set too.
I didn't end up trying it on, but it's just so fluffy and oversized.
I was like it should fit, it should work. It's fluffy, I need to get it.
But let us soak this in vinegar.
[POP MUSIC]
[WATER SPLASHING]
So I'm just going to let that sit for hours and hours and hours.
That is my plan.
Okay, guys, it is now time to go to the gym.
Yay!
I got to get you all pumped up for this here.
I need to put the gym fit on.
[TV STATIC]
Okay, So I stopped the camera because it is going to change, right?
So in my mind, I was like, mentally check marked off the
“things I need to do before changing my clothes.”
I almost changed with my window open
for all of my neighbors to watch.
I'm going to close the window and now change my clothes.
Fit changed, so I still have these these to deal with
and I was thinking I might actually try
to do some form of closet purge,
you know, donate stuff I don't really feel anymore.
And then use these for anything
that's like out of season or I don't know.
I figure when I'm going through my closet, I will find stuff to put in them
that will then fit under the bed
and that will not completely tear it to shreds.
Goals, Life goals.
Not breaking the thing.
[POP MUSIC]
Guys, look what I found.
It's my blankie.
So I talked about this in one of my past videos.
This is the blanket I took everywhere when I was a little kid.
I thought it was the best, yeah, and I still have it.
So it is officially time for the closet purge slash
filling of the other two under bed
storage things.
See what we can do.
I have so many fuzzy pajama pants because I went through this era where
I was obsessed with fuzzy pajama sets, but now I almost never wear them.
I don't know what happened.
Like for years I was like, “I must buy all the fuzzy pajamas.”
And then all of a sudden I was like, “Nope, no more fuzzy pajamas for me.”
I will occasionally wear some of my favorite fuzzy pajama bottoms, though.
Like I never wear the matching tops to them.
Right?
For example, I'm pretty sure that these came together like
this is the bottom and this is the top, but
I'm never going to wear the top.
Would it be awful if I donated just the top
and broke up the set?
Occasionally there are sets I will wear together.
For example, this pink set I do wear together and I like it.
This, whatever this pattern is called, set
I also will wear.
Then I have this set, which honestly I never wear either of them.
I should just donate that entire set.
This I never wear.
This I definitely never wear.
This I could probably just wear as a shirt if I felt like it.
It's just a nice black shirt.
It's going to go with my shirts.
So my vision with this closet clean out was to create a wardrobe
that I was excited to wear, basically, to get rid of
anything that I no longer liked, That I didn't think looked good on me.
That maybe was made out of uncomfortable material
or just did not vibe with my current feelings.
And I wanted to be able to go to my closet and only choose from things
that I actually like and fit me now and I'm excited to wear.
And part of this came from the fact that I realized I don't need that many clothes.
I tend to wear the same things over and over again
and ignore half of the stuff in my closet anyway.
So why don't I just get
rid of half of the stuff in my closet and focus on what I really like?
Especially because sometimes because the stuff that I don't like
is hanging there, I feel pressured to wear it.
I'm like, “Well, it's in my closet.
“I need to wear it at some point.”
But with it gone, I will no longer feel that pressure.
Anyway, It was a complete success.
I organized a closet, filled the underbed, things and yeah, did my dream.
In other news, it's very late and I need to get ready for bed.
But thanks so much for hanging out with me today.
