 well hello and welcome to another minimizing journey with me. I have some things around me, there's a big thing right here which I will get to in a moment but I'm gonna talk about minimizing sentimental items. I know that this is really hard for some people, there are a few things that I'm actually keeping but I might talk about that in another video. If you guys want to see that let me know down below or give the video a thumbs up or whatever. I have been purging my home for a few months now and I will link up in a card somewhere some of my minimalism game videos that I have done in the last few months and I have been specifically putting these off because I didn't have a plan, like I didn't have a plan of what I wanted to do so let's just jump right into it. First things I'm gonna get rid of are two clothing items that I've kept with me for a very long time and they're actually from high school and I do not fit in them whatsoever. I'm not planning on having children, I don't want any of my own so really the only reason was to like to keep this as well as the item that is in there is like for sentimental value to like maybe collect show you kid one day or something so I'm getting rid of a few things. So this is this is like very late 90s by the way. I graduated high school in 1999 but this is my commencement dress is that what it is commencement yeah like the graduation ceremony clearly you couldn't see it like under my like gown like my cap and gown or whatever but um this is the dress that I had and it's by French Connection which I think is still like a valid brand out there somewhere I don't know it's got the spaghetti straps again 90s and um yeah it's like this pretty linen dress very neutral very on brand at this point some of the other things I'm going to show you are not neutral at all and um yeah it's got like some stitching and then it's got these like little flowers and yeah I had it I wore it one time and it dry cleaned and then I hung it up and I haven't put it on since so this has been with me for 20 years this needs to go somewhere else I don't know like it's about knee length it's oh sorry you guys can't see very well um it's lined as well but you know this could be better suited you know in another home I am going to just donate this to the local place that I donate you know clothing and stuff too um it's not super specific and it's really not something that's like super trendy where I'd want to you know donate it to like a a dress place or whatever so anyways that's the first item I'm getting rid of so goodbye graduation dress next item is this you guys are probably like what the heck is this thing this is my senior high school prom dress I was lucky enough to go to three different proms I went my sophomore junior and senior year and in my school you could only go if you were a junior or senior and um I got invited as a sophomore so anyways I don't have any of those dresses but I do have this one and so hard to show it is tiny guys it's tiny I don't even know the other dress is a size four and this one I have no idea like I was a bean pole in high school this is an extra small look like it still has the drag clean tag like yeah clearly never worn it since actually I did wear this two times um I went to a government almost like a government conference or something when I was in high school and I actually did it in middle school too and it was called youth and government and they had like a formal night every time sorry it's like so heavy and it's like on my lap it keeps sliding off and I did wear it to the youth and government formal night um which was I think in yeah it was in January and then I wore this also in you know whenever prom was like in the spring so anyway but yeah very uh very 90s it's got like a crisscross in the back it is so hard to show you guys but it is like full beaded emerald green super low back because you know I guess I was scandalous like that um and then the bottom is just like all of these beads like all the way down and there's a slit just on the side in the front so yeah this is like probably not the trendiest thing at the moment so again I'm just gonna like donate this to just my local place um like I know that you can donate like prom dresses and some pretty nice dresses to organizations that give to kids that don't have you know like the funds to you know go to prom and stuff like that but anyway since these are all 20 years old it's time for these to go all right so now that we're down memory lane I have some other memory lane things and I talked to my mom about this already and my mom is not upset that I'm getting rid of those two dresses but she is very mad that I'm getting rid of these but I asked her I said well do you want them and she said no I'm like well there you go so hold on this is a situation in here hold on I've had this garment bag for a long long time like this garment bag has been around it's been to a lot of different states with me still never done anything with the things inside the bag oh my gosh this is taking a hot minute give me a second let me do these in order because that makes the most sense I was a Girl Scout from well I started out as a daisy and that was in I want to say kindergarten yeah that was in kindergarten and then I did it through middle school and I also went to cadet so I have a lot of uniforms and my mom is quite upset that I want to get rid of these again I'm not planning on having any children of my own really to me the only reason to keep these is to maybe like show your kids one day I just don't see the value in them um I do really enjoy them but I don't ever look at them or anything you know the last time I looked at these was probably five years ago maybe I don't know and that was just to check to see what the heck was in the garment bag I did talk with my local Girl Scout organization and I asked I'm like hey you know I'm 38 I have these uniforms from a long long time ago would you be interested in you know if I donated them to you would they like actually go to like you know a good use if someone could actually take a look at them or put them on display or whatever and they're like oh yeah yeah we take old uniforms all the time and you know they use it for their historical record I'm like awesome so after this video I'm actually going to donate these which I'm excited about but let me undo some of the pins that are in here so we're gonna go in order so Daisy is first and you get a little smock at least again I'm 38 I don't know what the uniforms look like anymore but it's like a little smock and it's got these little pockets and it says Daisy Girl Scouts and there's that little pin and then on the sides there's little ties on either side so super super cute I'm actually going to just um actually you know what I'm gonna just leave these on the hanger and I will just give them the bag because I don't know what to do with a garment bag at the moment because I don't have anything to put in there so that was the first year and then after that you were a brownie for quite a while so hold on I'm moving things so I actually have a full brownie outfit um yeah so this goes kind of around the collar hold on let me let me see if I don't do this all right this goes around the collar and then you have the shirt and I had the little sweater which has a little patch on it so so so cute and then the little jumper and then on the pocket it says brownie girl scouts and then um like it's you know like a button jumper and then this is where you put I don't know something at some point I don't know but I have the full outfit I also have the sash which I will show you guys because this is where things get kind of fun because you got to like earn badges and stuff so this was my sash and um I was in troop number 179 and then these are all the patches that I earned as a brownie and then on the back um some of the other things that were on there that weren't like an earned patch um if there were things that we went to or whatever um like I just have like a random girl scout button um and things like that so yeah cookies um in 1988 yeah that's the patch from 1988 this is one from 1989 another 89 and then this is these are both from 1990 because it says 90 on them so anyway this is really cool but again I don't need this in my life anymore um so yeah but kind of fun right all right and then we get into the juniors and this has like a a hat with it so I'm gonna I'm gonna pull that hat off so you can see it um this was actually my brother's hat it like literally says his name on there um so yeah sorry Phil I'm getting rid of your hat um so anyway oh let's see oh wow this is tight this is tight this is for a little kid okay um my brother used to actually come see it has a little brownie um he uh used to come to some of the events because there was a couple of other girls that had brothers around his age that he was friends with so he would come to some of our events so he would wear his little hat when he did that so anyway so here is my juniors vest and I was very excited about a vest so this is what it looks like I have like a little green ribbon over here so I was troop number 14 and here are all of the patches um that I earned there's actually a couple over here that you can't see there we go see all the fun patches I don't know I don't know anything really about Girl Scouts anymore since like I don't have a kid or whatever I don't know if they still have the same patches I mean they totally might but um yeah I don't know I don't know okay and then on the back again are like just things that we went to or things that we did so I'll just show you what the back looks like yep it's a lot of things and then let's see if there's anything interesting in here you never know oh 91 1990 cool so anyway that is my juniors um vest and then the last piece that I have is my cadet sash and I wasn't a cadet for very long I want to say it was maybe only one or two years I just got too busy with being in middle school and I had a lot of other like extracurriculars and stuff going on so I kind of had to pick and choose and I've been doing Girl Scouts for so long that I wanted to try something else new so anyway here is my sash and then this sash actually came with like you know you could just like tie it so anyway uh troop 14 ooh it has I have like buttons on here that say things and then I have this cute little gopher pen um fun fact my mom used to work at the University of Minnesota and their mascot is gophers and then um yeah these are all the patches that I had earned while I was a cadet like I said not too many just because I wasn't in it for very long and then on the back um are just some other random patches so again these are going to go to um my local uh Girl Scouts that I've already contacted and so that is the one of the big sentimental purges all right y'all ready for my last thing photos what do you do with photos um I have a bin here and it's like chocked full of photos and I did not grow up in the digital age of photos so I have all of these like random pictures ooh y'all want to see me in that dress here you go that's me and that guy's name is Nathan I don't know what he's doing with his life now but that's Nathan anyway um yeah that's me in that prom dress there so yeah I mean I have all of these photos and like pictures of me in a dress I don't know another dance photo um let's see this is me and my friend Ashley uh I don't know just lots of lots of photos guys I just I don't know what to do with this I just have no idea oh I was a cheerleader once um yeah I oh gosh I just don't know what to do with any of this stuff so I've actually been looking online and sorry I'm like distracted because I'm like ooh which photos are these and which photos are these um I've been looking online at like a specific photo scanner because I do have in my office a printer with a scanner but it's not necessarily for photos it doesn't have like the best quality so I've actually been looking at a couple of different options on amazon so if you guys have options of photo scanners that have a really great resolution that you absolutely love um put them down in the comments and like it'd be super appreciative if you had like links and stuff um like this is a picture of my grandma like I don't know um yeah I there's just so many things in here and I don't know like birthday parties from like 1980 I don't know seven probably 88 something like that um this is drunk Emily and probably drunk Courtney my friend hi Courtney if you're watching I don't know if you watch my videos but there you go um but yeah so I really want to dump all these photos but I clearly want to have digital's first so this is like my big project to do and my goal is to get this complete before the end of the year but first thing I need is a photo scanner so again if you guys know of any photo scanners that you absolutely love link them in the comments for me so anyway that is going to be it um thank you guys so much for watching these are all the sentimental items that I'm going to be purging all the clothing and Girl Scout stuff is actually going to be leaving like right now and then the photos like I said I'm just gonna have to do oh you know what here because like I'm gonna finding new things this this little girl right here

stop I need to stop oh oh hold on I have one more to show you and then I'm done this is um me hold on whoop that is me wearing that high school graduation dress that I talked about um at that point it
