[@alycatmakeup]

my boyfriend and I do separate laundry hampers! it makes it so we each our accountable for our own things!

[@thetlc9]

Don’t even worry about remaking your apartment tour, i just like seeing all your content in the life!

[@Sunnyside810]

My husband and I separate our laundry. He does his, I do mine. Towels, sheets, and kids clothes- we both do.

[@ndav]

Don't over think the chores stuff, and laundry. My partner and I delegate chores based on strength. I'm generally the more hyper clean one, and can clean our house easily within an hour. But the "deeper clean" chores are then left to him, deep clean the shower, help out with laundry, taking the bins out etc. So just find your groove without expectation and it'll become apparent what jobs suit each of your strengths.

[@daniellecarolan]

babe wake up brooke posted a new moving vlog

[@emilyerikson5821]

Even though it's annoying, the way you're sealing your counters is SO much healthier than the traditional sealers. It can be one of the most toxic things in your home. I'm an interior designer and I love watching you set up your place!! So exciting 😊love the vlogs

[@maureenomalley2218]

hi Brooke ! Do you think you would ever share how you split apartment finances with your boyfriend? I totally get it if it’s too personal, but my boyfriend owns his apartment too and we’re not sure how to split the expenses/mortgage and would love to hear any advice you have! Xx

[@JHwang8393]

We have three loads; mine, his, and towels. Mainly because he goes through clothes way faster than me, becsuse he sweats more in general and exercises more often. He likes to do many loads in a row in one day, while I like doing laundry once the basket is full. I also highly recommend having separate bathrooms. Especially if you guys have different levels or tolerance of cleanliness.

[@kandi6605]

The new apartment is so beautiful! Its great to see you so happy and excited! Don't know how its done in NYC, but here, if you have a new build home/condo there is a builder's warranty. So they fix their issues, we even have a 1 year inspection. If you want to change your layout, they have tv wall mounts that have full motion. You can have the tv flush against the wall across from the island, and if you put your couch where the tv is now, when you want to watch from the couch, you can pull it out away from the wall, then turn it to face the couch straight on. Also, a murphy bed buildout in the spare room, is an option. A bed for guests when you need it and more storage for linens/clothes or a vanity/desk.

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Congratulations on becoming a homeowner, Brooke! Your apartment is absolutely stunning. I am so happy for you. I can't wait to see what this new chapter has in store for you, queen. I know it's going to be nothing but amazing things! You deserve all of this so much. 🌼❤

[@lindac3388]

Congrats on your condo Brooke! I’m loving the new content, Very exciting!!

[@tatumnolan8864]

my fiancé and i have always washed our clothes together, we have a hamper with 3 baskets. 1 is workout/clothes not being dried, 1 is clothes that can be dried and the last one is towels/sheets. I do all the laundry and he is in charge of folding it and putting it away. Find what works for you guys is the best advice! I’m not good at folding so that’s why he’s in charge of that, I’m good at cooking so I cook and he cleans all the dishes. Definitely have a conversation about all chores to see what works for you both 🫶🏼

[@victorialiefert6935]

Majority of the time we do our own laundry, but sometimes we’ll combine or fold each other’s clothes if someone has more free time, etc. 😊

[@amandaleon4814]

I think if u put the couch on the wall where you have the tv and put the tv on a wall mount swivel so u can still watch while in the kitchen or turn the tv to face the couch when you are laying. This will keep the dining area and couch area nice and open!

[@billiehicks6587]

Your hair looks nice and healthy and it has truly grown❤…

[@McKenzieMarq]

My husband and I do laundry together! We separate towels, sheets, and blankets into their own loads. I found a 3-section hamper on Amazon so one section is our clothes, one is towels, and one is for dry cleaning. Every relationship is different, but we each have our designated chores. For example, I don’t ever clean the bathroom bc that’s “his” job. And I take care of all the laundry/taking out the dry cleaning. Try something out, and if it doesn’t work, just adjust! We gave ourselves like a 3 week “trial period” and then had a check-in at the end to see if we wanted to change anything

[@kyaclassen]

It’s definitely easier to just keep the laundry together! Reduces the loads you have to do too!

[@meganphillips7344]

All separate laundry in my house- including our son. So much easier IMO because we don’t have to separate it when it’s time to fold and put away. We do all towels together though.

[@mallorymcmanus4185]

My husband and I keep all laundry together - we have different preferences on chores we prefer doing and some weeks are different than others with laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc But we definitely view it all as a team effort and not as a “roommate” type view

[@jenjen-qq2xv]

Moving in with my man this summer -- definitely doing laundry separate. He's a blue collar guy, dirt and grease ain't coming anywhere near my clothes

[@alexandrataylor5452]

Living together: laundry always all one bin, so much easier to do as a team. Then you can do all the towels and sheets together too

[@meghanmartin8492]

Disagree, so much easier to separate

[@katfire4]

I'd say clothes separately and then towels/sheets/etc together

[@dianebaker5243]

Glad you got help getting your closets organised .The water filter sounds good to have clean water too drink.👍🥰

[@abbybollinger2885]

My husband and I have lived together for 7 yrs and we usually do separate laundry unless it’s towels lol. Also have you thought about getting a storage unit for gals merch, nicer gals outfits, etc?

[@Simplyryanne]

That dinner with the bread and pizza looks amazing!

[@emvowell]

We do laundry separately! No particular reason for that but we just own it as our own task and, of course, help each other here and there! I guess I’d just rather dig through my own dirty clothes if I need a specific bra or something, vs also sifting through his workout clothes etc Lol

[@mirandaalexis]

currently working on decluttering after camp

[@sarahaspelin7351]

i live with my boyfriend he does the dishes and i do the laundry! that’s rly the only assigning we do anything else it’s just whoever gets to or well work on cleaning at the same time

[@tialynneb]

these moving vlogs have reminded me how much i love your vlogs!!!

[@aeomisso]

I think the couch change is a great idea Brooke! ❤

[@midhathsyed4623]

Hey Brooke! Loved the video ! I just wanted to ask if you could you make a video about the process of buying an apartment? How did you know where you wanted to live? How did you know if the price was fair? How long did it take you to buy the apartment? When did you decide that you didn't want to rent in NYC anymore? Any home buying tips are welcomed. Again, loved the content and hope you have a great day!

[@CaldoDeJess]

A little Saturday morning treat! How cute!

[@mariapinto2498]

Your apartment is looking good! Love ❤️ your green dress!

[@jancarlson2165]

Love this new chapter!! 🩷🩷🚕🚕🩷🩷

[@karissawidder9538]

The whipped cream on the call was iconic

[@kaitlynbryant5942]

I live with my boyfriend & we have separate hampers & wash our clothes separate as well!

[@gracelauren2188]

My boyfriend and I moved in with each other recently. We have separate laundry baskets, but we try to make Sunday our laundry day. We combine loads if there's room :)

[@hjpeak]

My partner and I use a dirty and clean bin, but we combine our clothes together! The person who has a less busy schedule (usually per week) is in charge of doing the laundry. Any specialty items I'll typically handle to make sure they're taken care of properly!

[@cecef824]

My husband and I put our clothes in the same laundry hamper. We alternate on who does the laundry. It works for us. I bought a hamper, which is similar to yours but has 3 baskets, that way there is one for whites, darks and towels.

[@madisonhall4949]

I think it just depends on lifestyle honestly! My husband and I use one hamper (less clutter). A pile of laundry bothers me more, so I tend to do it more often!

[@Saelyss]

I do my laundry with my husband. We do have 2 separate baskets tho 1 for things that go in the dryer the other hang dry

[@BiancaMagsino]

Love this so muchhhh brooke ! Me and my bf share two hampers, one for lights one for darks

[@aliflore4109]

I have been loving this moving vlogs

[@laurafarias1986]

Separate bins but do loads together since a lot of the time we don’t have enough clothes on our own to justify running a wash. Separate bins allows us to keep track of delicates, etc. (we also have separate closets so it makes more sense)

[@samjosal]

Happy Saturday! 🥰 love watching you thrive! Ilysm

[@TatiiNichole02]

My boyfriend and I have separate laundry baskets. He does his laundry and I do mine. He cooks, I clean, we sometimes help each other with our chores. Is nice.

[@paytonholder972]

We combine laundry in one basket and I just do it all since I work from home :,) I don’t mind though because he does all the dishes. You’ll find what works for you! 🙌🏼

[@Ccand0]

My fiancee and I wash our clothes separately lol but I’m in charge of washing the towels and sheets

[@teagan5257]

For my boyfriend and I, it’s easier for us to do laundry all in one go with one or two loads rather than separate! I’m a weirdo about laundry so I typically do it which I don’t mind! You’ll just have to find what works for you and Ben! Every couple is different!

[@karenemilyh]

My boyfriend and I have very different schedules (he works in sports and I work 9-5) so we keep our laundry separate! Some days he won’t have work until 1pm and doesn’t have a set schedule so he does his own laundry whenever he has time! Hope this helped 🫶🏻

[@kaleyfarrell4103]

Random but I love that giant pillar in your living space !! Wow! I can see it wrapped in Christmas lights 🥰🥰

[@allisarose]

Team separate bins!!! 🤝🏼

[@thetlc9]

Love all these videos!! Look forward to every new moving vlog! So happy for you in this new chapter!

[@lashleyaz]

Couple’s Laundry: just do it all together. We typically split jobs and he washes and dries and I put away. And by put away I sort it and then get too lazy to put it away so it sits on the bed for a couple days on my side by my feet because I’m short and it doesn’t bug me. But it buuugs him. lol

[@tjayyvtt]

my fiancé and I share a hamper and do our laundry at the same time, so if someone notices the hamper getting full they throw in a load. We did have to take time to inform each other of any specific needs with laundry (shirts that have to be hung to dry, pants that can't be washed with hot water, stuff like that).

[@erinsmeraldo9008]

i love that you're giving it time to get used to the space before arranging the furniture. laughing that you had to disclaim that though lol...people need to chill with unwarranted suggestions

[@sade4993]

Oh this is perfect timing. I just sat down to put on my face lol Happy weekend everyone 🌞EDIT: Putting whipped in your iced cold brew at the beginning of a zoom meeting is THEEE definition of a gal on the go! 🤣

[@lizmower6211]

Do laundry together! You guys will find a groove on who takes care of what chores in the apartment 😊

[@maryjaneknab4051]

Do laundry together. Whites, Lights and Darks. Towels and sheets get their own cycle.

[@billiehicks6587]

Making a quilt would be fantastic!!!❤

[@JulesoftheSouth]

My husband does all the laundry. We have certain chores that we each just own.

[@mollycaple343]

Separate laundry because I have more delicate cycle and hang dry items and he is afraid to ruin them. He also won’t put anything away for days and days and I want it all organized immediately so separate is the way to go for us.

[@Ash2121Mass]

Living Together: I put dirty everything in one bin and the I separate it once I start washing and drying. Like towels, blankets, clothes

[@darrenwanamaker3326]

Love the apartment! Way to go Brooke ❤

[@robinphillips4005]

Love a Saturday vlog from you, especially when it's a "moving" vlog! Wish it was longer but I know you're a gal on the go and have sh!t to do! 🩷🤍🩷

[@ciaraoconnor7179]

Do your own laundry!

[@billiehicks6587]

Yeah Brooke!❤. You’re the Lady!❤

[@MeganWelker-zw5mj]

We do our laundry separately, but there are times if we both just have a few things to wash we will put them in together! Mostly so it separately bc I always have so much 😅

[@biancasilva6036]

As a fellow first time home owner, even if certain things break, you should have a home warranty that covers things that break within the first year. Not sure if that applies in New York or apartment spaces tho.

[@rebeccachurchgerhardt3100]

We have our own hampers and do our own laundry 🤷🏻‍♀️ I prefer only doing it once a week (or less) and we would be way overloading our washer with all of it. Plus I just really do not trust him to hang dry the right things, separate colors, etc. That might change once we have kids that we have to do laundry for, but for now why add more work for myself ya know

[@laurahoeft]

Re: Combining your laundry -- He might have to wash his med school/hospital laundry in HOT water, so maybe separate laundry is the way to go.

[@elov722]

You should def bring some of the GOTG stuff home!! xoxo, loving the moving vlogs - congrats!

[@taylorking7023]

We do our laundry altogether! If anything needs special attention, it’s on ourselves to handle that individually!

[@badgalfifi]

Congrats on purchasing your home!! Such a huge accomplishment ☺️ My boyfriend and I do combine our laundry. we pretty much know each other’s wardrobe at this point so he knows what I need hung up to dry and vice versa.

[@pumpkito97]

Please keep all your GOTG merch .. especially if you have a daughter !!! She will most likely love to have it !

[@allisonsimpson6027]

My bf and I have an arrangement where he does the dishes and I do the laundry (bc I hate dishes and he hates laundry). I really think he gets the short end of the stick, but every time I talk to him about it, he seems happy with the arrangement. There are no rules; you’ll figure out what works for y’all as a couple

[@zeinajr.schulzeallen4065]

really love these videos!

[@morenasilvestroni]

THAT INTRO EDITING!! I SEE U

[@themorgansophia]

Just moved in with my boyfriend this month! I just do all our laundry at the same time, it’s way easier

[@kenziek8957]

We do laundry together just for the sake of only having one laundry basket lol! I really don’t mind and we always tag team it

[@florabedinger9322]

Me and my fiance mostly do our laundry separately and that’s because I don’t fold and put away his clothes and he doesnt put mine away either. However, if I do laundry and don’t have a full load then I will always grab his and do it together

[@paolamartinez4295]

We have one bin and whoever does it, just does it for both of us

[@mallorypeters6945]

We do our laundry separate! Truthfully don’t trust my husband to know which of my clothes can go in the dryer or not

[@cassandragarcia3842]

definitely keep your laundry separate! I’ve lived with my bf for 3 years and we each do our laundry and we wash different lol. This is an exciting chapter for you, enjoy!

[@alexiswaye7791]

I'm really happy for you Brooke. =) I wish you the best.

[@milly9897]

Putting the tv on that other wall is fine. It would have been wasted space because of the original position. At most you could have put a piece of art in the new wall. The water system is something many Van lifers have in their tiny homes on wheels. It’s a work in progress do don’t stress too much.

[@katedwyer1722]

Separate laundry baskets!

[@GwendolynKensinger]

team doing laundry together

[@MZ-ve4bp]

NO wifey task before the ring!

[@savannahkaye]

My boyfriend and I live together and we have separate hampers because sometimes only one of us needs to do laundry, but sometimes we do it together as well, I like having separate hampers but I know it's all about preference because my parents share a hamper

[@brennadoherty324]

Establish that you each do your own laundry, with the option to always do it together as needed. Even the best partner can become dependent if as you say, “I’m doing mine so why not just do theirs too.”

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Brooke happy Saturday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@biancasilva6036]

IF you agree to take turns with the laundry, share a basket. If your partner is not timely with doing laundry, SEPARATE. Otherwise this could cause some fights lol at least in my relationship lol

[@MillieGrace5675]

We do our own laundry! I do not trust him to know which of my clothes can't be dried!

[@lexir7407]

My boyfriend and I have lived together for a year now and we have separate hampers and do our own laundry

[@amandac57999]

He takes out the trash and does most of the cooking. I clean up the kitchen and do the floors. I do his laundry out of love, not expectations

[@VeggiesbyEos]

My partner and I share a laundry bin
