Addressing Negative Comments (I don't usually do this!)

  I never leave comments but, y’all, this is crazy. Insulting Dawn is like insulting Bambi… she’s adorable, kind, and makes life feel like springtime. ♥️ I’ve been a minimalist for many  years and decluttering, organizing, and beautifying (as I like to call it) are all equal parts of the journey. It’s wild we care so much what someone providing us free amazing content does with their spices in their home 😂… and btw, mine are decanted as well and no regrets. And yes, high quality bins stand the test of time so well and the price per use over time (especially with not having to rebuy when the cheap ones break) actually saves money in the long run. We love you Dawn more than you’ll ever know!!! ♥️ You are the sweetest, most humble, awesome, feels-like-a-real-friend person on YouTube & I stand by that forever!

  As someone who is in Take Your House Back and the Minimal Mom Membership Group, I had to stop this video halfway through to say.........who do some people think they are? The authority on plastics? The authority on organization? Absolutely not! AND, if these negative commenter's were the authority, what business is it of their's anyway? It's none of anyone's business what you choose to have in your home. It is MY responsibility as a viewer to take all the positives I can from your videos and if I don't like something, then I don't need to make a comment. When will people learn to just shut their mouths if they have nothing constructive to add?

  I took a lot of criticism over alphabetizing my spice rack - years ago. <br>&quot;What a waste of time!&quot; was the most common remark ... but it cut my search time dramatically.<br>DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!

  If you buy a plastic container, but find it useful for the rest of your life, that’s NOT wasteful and bad for the environment.

  &quot;We get to decide what makes our heart happy.&quot; This resonates with me. At the end of the day, this is your space, your stage in life, and your taste. Thank you for sharing. ❤

  The people who have an issue with this, aren’t done decluttering. It’s so worth the investment once you’re done decluttering. And it’s paid for itself by not buying the usual junk I bought before so no it’s not wasting money. You’re fine, Dawn! I’ll watch any video you put out. I’m so thankful for you!

  As I was watching that video, I was thinking back to when you were organizing with the dollar tree, bins, and boxes and thought, “How cool, she’s gotten her house down to exactly what she needs and now she can get the bins that are a little higher quality and that are prettier!” Seems like most of those comments probably came from people who haven’t been watching your channel very long. I’m sorry you’re even having to make this video. We appreciate what you do SOOO much!! 🌸

  I always find it interesting that so many people feel that if something is &quot;excessive&quot; or &quot;unnecessary&quot;, or a &quot;waste of time&quot; to them, then that makes it unnecessary &nbsp;or a waste of time for EVERYone. That is such a narcissistic way to look at things! Everyone has different priorities and tastes, and needs, not to mention we all function differently and respond to clutter or aesthetics very differently. &nbsp;I think your spice cabinet looks amazing! Mine makes me happy as well!

  Dawn, another thing I would mention is that you’re a ladybug. Cas from Clutterbug always talks about the power of pretty, especially for ladybugs. I’m a ladybug too. It really helps motivate us to keep our home tidy when it looks pretty. 😂

  I agree with you Dawn. I don&apos;t buy a ton of organizers, but when I get a space decluttered, I will carefully buy an organizer that fits the space well. Organizers can help, but some influencers go overboard buying too many of them. I appreciate your recommendations because I know your not just trying to sell a product.

  Dawn, you are so forgiving, kind, humble, and understanding in the way you addressed the criticism, and even meanness. Wow. No one could dispute your genuineness when you say, “I love you” at the end of your videos to your viewers. You have been such a ray of light and encouragement to me for almost two years now and you have helped me regain so much peace and sanity in our full and busy home with 6 children. Thank you ❤
