I moved in with my now wife about 6 months after we met, still together 28 years later and married 5 years (had to wait till same sex marriage laws changed in Australia). Have had a wonderful life together and absolutely no regrets. I wish you both all the happiness in the world.

[@vickinoeske1154]

I can definitely see where your apartment would be a bit crowded with two adults and two dogs. Looking forward to your new adventure. 😊

[@HermioneChantal]

I can’t wait! 🩷 it’s going to be so fun to film!

[@victoriaadams2171]

Congratulations on the new apt...😊

[@crafterdeidra]

I am so happy for you and Haley to move into together with the dogs too. ❤ Cant wait to see the new place and the decorating of it. Glad to hear that your nan is doing well. ❤Great vlog as always!

[@thinkingbout]

When you mentioned that you're moving I figured that you also will be moving together with Haley. I'm happy for you that you found a place for both of you and the dogs, that will fit the needs of all of you better in this period of life than your current apartment. :) I just wish you all the best for the move and living in your new home! Regarding thrifting: if you like to show us what it's like going thrifting in Seoul, then it is probably also interesting for us to watch! It is your channel and you're documenting your experiences with your videos on it. People enjoy watching your videos because of that, even if there might be segments they aren't normally interested in that much. So don't think too much about what might be interesting to watch for us and go for what you'd like to document and show us! :) I can relate so much regarding perfectionism.😅 What helped me a little is to realise that it is super hard to define what a perfect version, situation etc. is, since it is subjective and most of the time there is a way to make it even better (at least in our head), while the thing we made is totally fine and may be regarded as perfect by others. Also the root of perfectionism is often that people don't want to make mistakes and therefore don't even try certain things. But humans don't learn without mistakes (think about little kids learning how to walk, they fall down a lot until they're able to hold their balance and walk but they try over and over again till they can), and the consequences of making mistakes are most of the time not as bad as not trying out at all. I'm glad you found a compromise for you showing your crafting in the vlogs instead since I always really enjoyed your crafting videos as it was in a sense like crafting together with a good friend. And maybe after some time you'll revisit your videos with projects you weren't content with and see that they weren't as bad as you thought or find a way to make them a little different to be more content with it. If you do and like to share, I'd definetly liked to watch it. But no pressure, do as is best for your wellbeing! :) Thank you for taking us with you while decluttering and have a nice weekend! :)

[@HermioneChantal]

Thank you so much for such a lovely and thoughtful message 🩷🥰 it really put such a smile on my face and I felt like I was having a good catch up with a friend over a coffee! Thank you 🩷 Your advice about perfectionism is wonderful and it’s really something to think about! I took a screenshot to look at anytime I feel like that again, so I can read your advice and shake off the perfectionist feelings! And I love the idea of revisiting old projects, what a great idea that is! It will be fun looking through the old videos to try and remake some old pieces with a new twist! I’m so happy after reading all your lovely words! I hope you have a wonderful weekend 🩷

[@thinkingbout]

@@HermioneChantal Thank you :) Now your answer puts a smile on my face :D I'm glad my comment reached you - even though it is a longer one - and that it could help you a little. :) With revisiting of projects, I mainly meant the ones you mentioned in the vlog, that you never even posted, but revisiting old projects you shared and giving them a new twist also sounds like a great idea and a lot of fun!💪 :) I'm excited to see what you're coming up with next and happy that I could add a little happiness to your day through my words. 🥰

[@valerieb4611]

Soooo into more dog content and also now girlfriend content! Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised about you moving in with Haley sooner than later because of the classic U-Haul sapphic trope XD But it's soooo lovely to see you so happy with your person and puppies and all that!

[@HermioneChantal]

We're a cliché 🤣 but I wouldn't have it any other way!! Thank you for the lovely comment 💖

[@HopeWren]

Been in a bit of a depression rut & have witnessed my space getting messier and messier but this vlog was exactly what I needed to get up & clean and therefore make me feel better! ❤❤

[@HermioneChantal]

I’m sorry to hear that 🩷 I’ve been there too and even though it sounds like a small step I love the feeling of having tidied up just a bit! I hope you’re able to feel much better soon 🫶🩷

[@yukoleja]

@@HermioneChantal Yay! Also very interesting to hear about different parts of the city, pro/cons and what you guys are looking for (like, is Haley also working from home and need a desk?). I love moving vlogs, so I'm really looking forward to all of it 😊 Also, I hadn't watched the whole video before commenting, but YES to all the thrifting videos 🤩 ​

[@lindametten4010]

Happy for the both of you.❤️❤️

[@kindle7191]

[@GardensOfChina]

[@CleoGravel]

Omg so excited for you guy’s 😊can’t wait for a tour of your new place 😊

[@barbarasmialek8789]

Beautiful transformation.

[@TheCallycustard]

I'm currently in Seoul for a month and I've been watching your videos for months. They've helped me feel more of a resident here by understanding a few things, knowing a few key stores etc and how daily life is here. And of course seeing how you live your daily life helps prepare people coming here with what to expect. Always gorgeous and relaxing content. Thanks for taking the time and sharing :-)

[@summerrain7466]

The way you have to twist and bend to get under the bed or into that cubby! I hope the new apartment has a larger bedroom for you! So nice to meet Haley

[@Kathryn_60]

Hi! I love your beautiful color palette and sensibility. I hope you have a lovely moving day! Can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@danamarguerite6908]

I'm sooooo excited for your move and I'm sooooo happy that you're happy with Hayley 🥹 It gives me hope, on both counts 🤞🏼 Sending happy vibes from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Michelle-im8pm]

Always here for the thrifting and the moving! 😁 Best of luck to you and Hayley and this new chapter in your lives 🫶

[@HermioneChantal]

Thank you 🥹🩷

[@TheAsheTalketh]

I'm so curious to see your apartment complex cause it sounded fascinating when you've been talking about it! Good luck on the move!

[@HermioneChantal]

I can’t wait to make a video all about it as soon as I’m out I’ll post it 😁🩷

[@YaRiGui2]

I love your moving videos and organization. Please film your entire process. Wish you success in the transition.

[@HermioneChantal]

Thank you 🩷🫶 I’m planning to film the whole thing

[@sineadb451]

Have had time to keep up with your blog's. You have a dog now so cute

[@maureenbullis1805]

I love your dogs!

[@mollypreger9916]

So excited to see you move again! Your moving vlogs in Korea have been some of my faves on KZbin ❤

[@HermioneChantal]

Really? 🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much! I can’t wait to make more!!!!

[@HermioneChantal]

And thank you for watching them 🩷🫶

[@baileycullum2392]

More thrift 👍 I'm going to miss your apartment but I'll trust the process. Congrats to you and Haley for taking this step! Random: Where did you get that pink microphone? I love it!

[@marenhumblebee2736]

Love it when you post. Good to know I am not the only person who has to declutter...😂 but mine is like 100 times as bad❤

[@marenhumblebee2736]

May I ask what you do in Korea? Could you just move from the UK to Korea and live off of what you make from youtube? Or do you need a work permit in Korea to be permitted to work this job of yours from there?

[@HermioneChantal]

You’re totally not the only one 🥹 I feel like it’s all my craft supplies that keep me cluttered haha! Also about the job question I work in a tech job 😁 and I work to promote the business in Asia so being in Korea is easier for the business development aspect of it :)

[@marenhumblebee2736]

​​@@HermioneChantal 😂 that's good to hear ❤ I see, about the job I mean, wow... you have such a big channel and also another job, and you also do other social media. That's being more productive than many regular youtubers. How do you do it? That's amazing!!!

[@eloisewarren8457]

Yes please to another thrift video. Maybe for once you and Hayley have a new place and you can pair it with buying new home items. ❤

[@sarahlazzarotto4274]

What breeds are your dogs?! I have a cream Shiba Inu and they look very similar. So cute. Excited for your move!

[@sangeethaiyer87]

I wish you a great week. Nice you are going to move together with a person.

[@ambivalentdisaster673]

May I ask what type of job you have where you are able to live there and work from home?

[@merppa9842]

What kinds of dogs are these? They are so beautiful❤

[@HermioneChantal]

The bigger dog (Kona) is a Korean Jindo and the small dog (Bing) is a Jindo mix 🐶

[@merppa9842]

@@HermioneChantal thanks for the reply!😊

[@alisonr2101]

Shock - another ad. It’s the only time you post!

[@thinkingbout]

I didn't even realise it that much since she's using Notion for so long now, and I don't remember which ad she used in her past videos (e.g. the last vlog where she made charm necklaces etc?). But there are other KZbinrs that make much more ads, more regulary, for more questionable brands, that I personally find much more annoying. Something to consider, that I remembered recently, is that having brand deals is how people on social media make their main income otherwise making content wouldn't be really profitable for most them in the long run. So you have to decide for yourself if it is worth the content that it has these ads in it, that pay the wage for the creator, or not.

[@amyfaurote1488]

How did you meet your roommate? Beautiful dogs. Peace 🕊️

[@HermioneChantal]

It's her girlfriend's dogs. I guess now they hers dogs too 😊

[@dreamerkai]

I wonder why air tags is not allowed in Korea umm

[@HermioneChantal]

I think it’s something to do with proximity to North Korea, and here in South Korea they prefer using their own apps like Naver maps instead of Google for security reasons. But I miss my air tag 🥲

[@emilyinglis2602]

Are you and Haley a couple? ❤🥰 I’d be so happy if you were a femme haha we need more femmes on KZbin!!
