[@bellarpeterson]

I know you’ve talked about it recently, but I can truly see the changes you’ve made in your life. I think that is a big reason why your comment section is more positive lately!! Put positive vibes out there and you will get them in return 🖤 Keep doing you!!

[@The67Russia]

I also think it is bc she has been one of the few youtubers taking covid-19 and BLM seriously, which does not go unnoticed!!

[@ViVo-di6bd]

We@@The67Russia

[@keely5120]

This is a little random, but for your podcast I think it would be interesting to have Kristee Vetter on and listen to both of your experiences living with your parents again. What was it like, how had your relationships changed (if it all) as a result of having experience living on your own/being independent, reflecting on changing dynamics as you get older and come into your own, etc. I understand if that would be too personal, but I remember how living with my parents again after college for a while was and thought it would be interesting to hear a pod on :)

[@olbird7647]

Haaaa! I also follow Kristee- who I know follows you- but I was a bit shy to suggest you collab.....but glad someone else has as it's great idea and she knows lots of other NYC YTers 👍😊😊

[@HugeMusicFan]

@@olbird7647 I follow her as well. Ever since she was doing Semester at Sea years ago.

[@hannahjoyed]

You could also ask her for advice about living in NYC!!!

[@mimibriya2655]

Idk but their is a noticible diffrence between youtubers who lives in LA and youtubers who lives in NYC

[@michellereedg]

watching gossip girl while moving in🥺so happy for you Brooke!!! ❤️

[@brookemiccio]

thank you Michelle 😭😭😭 so sweet

[@alexandersom9576]

Brooke Miccio qqqaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqaqqaqqqqqqqqqqqq

[@RoniBlackmon]

your comments are always positive because you're the most real and most relatable KZbinr. we love you girl!

[@brookemiccio]

i am so lucky. love you guys

[@caitlinsoule9784]

Brooke Miccio no we’re lucky 🥺😩

[@HoffmanHillary]

I would recommend putting the jelwery on the window where those picture frames are in the bedroom!

[@fia4280]

yes that’s what I was about to suggest!!

[@TimeaPusok]

seconding it, I think it would look so cute and it's practical too! It would be an easy grab situation.

[@bethanycookson6457]

Exactly what I was thinking!!

[@Egdues]

Yes!! I was just about to comment this.

[@Cruiztina]

Agreed!

[@TaliaLea]

crazy to see u thriving like deep down we all knew you’d end up here at one point!!

[@ElyseMarieee]

Also the quantity of windows in this new space sparks so much joy. U should fill ur apartment with plants! So excited for the next few weeks of content 🤩

[@emmaputney6062]

I love how light and open your apartment is!! I just immediately get better vibes from it than I did your Boston apartment - and you seem much happier :)

[@kenzieelizabeth]

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! and jealous of the blue bottle near you

[@brookemiccio]

luv u. thank u HAHAHAHAH the blue bottle queen

[@anweshabarua9441]

This vlog made me emotional. I have followed your journey from your 1st year in college and have actually seen you grown. You have come far and right now you're living in NY city makes me realise that you deserve all of it. Literally girl, you make us so so proud. I can't wait to see what all NY city vlogs you will make. Exciting times ahead.

[@Mapoflife]

I completely agree! Love how real and genuine she is! Our girl is about to pop off in the best way ❤️

[@KiaraMadisen]

Your place is so beautiful and I’m so glad it’s starting to feel like home 😍 cannot wait for the couch to come & everything to come together!

[@talhajutttalhajutt4041]

I'm cxccc

[@alanagavurin3819]

Floating shelves, bed frame with drawers, hanging organizers inside the closet

[@keanaclerici2658]

I was thinking maybe floating shelves for all your frames in the bedroom like that you can put your jewelry stand on the window sill with some plants! 🥰❤️ love the moving vlogs!!!

[@madisonmorgan7182]

you are THRIVING!! just moved into my first apt post grad and starting a new job on monday so its so fun to watch these bc I've been doing the same thing. moving is so stressful but so so exciting!

[@taylorgillman8870]

Brooke!! I’m obsessed. Coming together sooo well. Welcome to NYC! In the closet utilize the back of the doors and also the back closet wall. You will figure it out! Also.. maybe try amazon fresh or Whole Foods delivery. I legit get everything delivered in brooklyn.

[@TheoryofBelle]

i’ve been WAITING for this one... TURN IT UP

[@brookemiccio]

first lol XD

[@sofiaj2170]

😂😂😂

[@khelynarteaga-minchala9463]

Hey Brooke, if you want to save a little bit of hanging space in your closet try to put two jeans in each hanger. I’ve always had a very small closet growing up in queens and that has saved me so much space

[@keishapettway]

this made me laugh out loud for no reason lmao

[@OliviaHorner]

i actually lol-ed at you commenting “first” on your own vid 😅😅

[@caitlinsoule9784]

So proud of you!! Cant wait to see what the couch looks like in video, (I know you posted it on insta but I want the YT content) no rush, take your time to catch up, we know your a GAL ON THE GO ;)

[@HaileyPurple99]

Brooke!!! You look amazing!! Your hair gives you such a glow! That dress and the color is incredible on you! I really hope that nyc is good to you and is full of positive experiences. You bring so much light and love into this world and to your viewers and you deserve so much happiness 💕💕💕 I’m so glad to see you thriving

[@gina2722]

The biggest thing I learned from living in NYC is utilizing wall space (if you can) with hanging shelves, hooks on the wall, hooks on the back of doors, etc. Basically, command strips will be your best friend. I also got bins that are specifically for under your bed that you can store seasonal clothes, shoes and things that you are not using every single day. Those saved me from cramping my closet and drawers with every piece of clothing I own. This is also probably stupidly obvious but getting rid of stuff I truly didn't need was a game changer lol hope that helps! Also, this vlog was so motivating to me to get my life together. I'm a long time viewer and I am honestly so proud of you for finally moving to the city

[@KristaCannady]

You are just clearly so much happier and it RADIATES! We can feel it so def why you have been getting so much love 💞 love your vlogs always

[@tatianarobinson9050]

I’m never one to comment on stuff, but I’m truly happy for you. You’re radiating happiness and sometimes change and making those huge leaps is the best thing to get where you want to be and to truly reach that level of peace. Get it girl!

[@sarahlotsey3421]

I still live a tiny dorm and have found that under the bed storage and anything you can hang on the back of doors (jewelry organizers, mirrors, etc) is super helpful for space!

[@LondynBrielle]

Brooke what about an over the door mirrored jewlrey holder? It has a mirror on the front and opens to store ur stuff but hangs on the backnof ur door like a shoe rack or towel rack!

[@jessicaamy3414]

Yes! Adeline Morin had one in her LA apartment!

[@Thisisyoutubee]

Londyn Brielle came to the comments to say this 👆🏼👆🏾👆🏿

[@balletxxflats]

good idea!

[@brookemiccio]

such a good idea!!!

[@jessicalynn9075]

Lol you beat me to it I said the same thing it really is a great thing to have!

[@MenaVee]

I sat here with a smile on my face the entire video. So happy for you and your new adventure!!

[@Caroline611Murphy]

seeing you so so happy makes me so happy. you seem so much more energetic than you were in boston. i love you brooke

[@teylorjohnson5429]

Brooke, I'm loving all the content you're releasing! I know it's probably a lot of work, but you're doing a good job

[@bethanycookson6457]

I’m so thrilled for you Brooke - I think you’re gonna thrive in NYC 💕 I will miss your family content though so pls vlog when you do trips home/ to your Mum’s work apartment ;)

[@olbird7647]

At least they're not so far away, much easier for visits 😊

[@ItsAmandaWan]

ugh im LIVING for these NYC vlogs already, cannot wait to come back and visit again this makes me miss it even more!! love how its already coming together!!

[@magdaleneblair8032]

I’d def suggest the hanging jewelry thing i have one on the back of my closet door held up by a command strips and it lays flat and saves soooo much space

[@Erica-vy7ol]

Love seeing you thrive in the city! Would you mind explaining in another video the difference between a manager and an agent? I love hearing about the behind the scenes of your work. Thanks!

[@tomisino7927]

For jewelry, maybe you can get a hanging unit on the inside of the closet door! That will utilize more space :)

[@valerieolsen4640]

brooke you are RADIATING. you look and sound so freaking happy and i am HERE for it.✨

[@guadalupegarcia9278]

Here in NYC you could just be you , that’s the beauty of it. You’ll get adjusted easily & will definitely feel comfort. Just know that your living a great opportunity many wish to live. 💕💕 I’m from NYC btw 🤩

[@Natalie-ri4ii]

have you thought about using that wall space between your bathroom and bedroom door for a desk?? I feel like having some place to work outside your bedroom would be a lot better

[@monse655]

You’re the definition of trust the process!! you’ve made it so far i’m so proud of you and you’re such and inspiration for me :)

[@sammitchell9301]

Trader Joe’s is a great place for “beginner” plants that are really reasonably priced!! I’ve gotten several there this season.

[@jean5833]

When I was trying to save space in the dorms one thing I found helpful was a mirror that hangs over the door that opens up and is a jeweler organizer on the inside. I know you have mirrors already but you could get one that hangs on the inside of the closet door so it still looks clean on the outside but saves space and opens up the top of your closet for clothes! If you search “hanging mirror jewelry organizer” on amazon you’ll find a bunch. Love the moving content!

[@helenscarborough5458]

u look so happy, congrats on everything! i live in NYC so i know the tiny closet struggle. i recommend using command hooks on the back of ur closet door or another door for maybe hats, sweatshirts, bags, etc.

[@laurenpaquin5130]

Jewelry organization: I use the Little Capricorn Necklace Hanger Jewelry Organizers. They are AMAZING. They come in a 4 pack on Amazon and are pretty cheap too! The back of the hook has a sticky strip on it so it easily sticks to walls, also removing them doesn't damage the walls either. Hope this helps!

[@demi1406]

Hi queen! you've done it again constantly raising the bar. I am so happy for you! I hope you have a great time and make tons of memories! have a great day girly!

[@annanicole6620]

My old apartment was so small I got rid of SO MUCH STUFF when I moved in but then when I was moving out I was like wtf where did all this stuff come from lol

[@olbird7647]

It all multiples while we're not looking 😊 sneaky!

[@abeuchert]

I’m so happy for you Brooke 😍😍😍 I’ve been LIVING for this NYC move content. My husband and I just moved into our first house in Utah. I’m literally obsessed with it and have been trying to get organized as well. One idea for your clothes, I would for sure buy more of those cute bins for your closet shelf. Also, I know you said you love picking out your outfit for the next day. Maybe a cute command strip hook on the door so you can hang your outfits before bed? Also! Sorry last thing. You can buy skinny long bins for underneath your bed! You can switch out seasonal clothes so they are tucked alway when you don’t need them. Just some ideas, can’t wait for the kitchen vlog!!! 😍

[@Mapoflife]

I’m beyond excited for you Brooke! Super pumped to see your next chapter of life...I feel like this move to NYC has been a long time coming ❤️ also could you mount that big mirror lengthwise on a wall to give the illusion of move space/openness? With regard to windows and privacy you could get sheer white curtains or window film and put it half way up so you still get natural light and can see out but when you’re changing clothes or lounging in bed you don’t necessarily have to close the blinds.

[@jolieclark9166]

For the jewelry storage, I stored mine on an old tie rack and command stripped it to the wall and loved it, took up so much less space and was pretty too! So I feel like any type of hooks or wall hangings would help utilized jewelry storage in a different and more effective way!

[@wakesho3965]

Girl each vid I watch of you, I become more and more in LOVE with your channel. Keep doing you girl, your videos truly give me a sense of escape from reality😍😍

[@jazbenz9933]

Brooke, I am way older than you... and I am living for your vlogs🤗 Let me first say, your hair is absolutely beautiful. The color & style... Perfect👌🏼I subscribed to your channel during quarantine and I've been hooked since. Your maturity level and your zest for life is contagious. Although we come from different backgrounds - socioeconomic statuses,- Still I enjoy watching your parents, their beautiful home, road trip scenes, the moving, the apt hunt, to now your apt tour / interior decorating, ideas, and all the projects/ ideas in between. I love it all! I get to learn and see it from your experiences; plus your willingness to take the time to vlog about it makes me appreciate your transparency and effort. What you have done my dear I wasn't able to do not even at age 23... my life has just been of pure survival. Please do continue to share more❤ Live your best life Beautiful! Stay safe & healthy. Looking forward to seeing so much more of your adventures in your new apt and of NYC.

[@iriemcknight6452]

Exactly what I needed this morning! I think you'll thrive in NYC & can't wait to watch you grow in this new chapter of your life 💛💛💛

[@adrianakelly3390]

BROOKE!!!! These NYC vlogs give me LIFE omg you’re truly thriving

[@nina_allegra]

I love your apartment and the moving vlogs! 😍 Why don‘t you put your desk in the living room between the doors of your bedroom and bathroom? I feel like the bedroom is too small for a desk. And then you could also put the nightstand on the other side of the bed, I feel like the space there calls for it lol just my two cents 🤗💕

[@adebs]

so happy for you, you’re truly living your best life 🥰

[@victoriarose97]

Literally LOVE that you post in the morning, morning gal💗

[@CT-gf6og]

Thriving. Absolutely thriving. It suits you! You look so happy! Which makes me happy! You deserve this!!! Get it girl! And yes, you are cool. I have a feeling positive/great things are heading your way!!!

[@gracem4953]

idk if she’s still in NY but do you know Audrey Peters from tiktok? She’s blonde and has reviewed NY restaurants and dating advice and business advice etc. She iconically told us to not trust boys who sleep w their beds in the corner and not against the wall and the ones that only have one pillow 😂 I think she would make an amazing guest on the podcast!! Highly recommend watching her tiktoks

[@natalieryan4039]

You could use the big mirror and put it on the wall horizontally in the living area to make the space feel bigger!

[@GoodbyeGurl04]

Under. The. Bed. Storage. Organizers. Bro. These saved my life. I lived an in apartment smaller than yours, with my boyfriend, & I used a under the bed show organizer for my clothes & then am now using it for my shoes in our bigger apartment

[@TheLOVE4DANCE98]

You are the most relatable youtuber! Your vlogs have been the highlight of 2020!

[@doloresgonzalez8412]

Love your new apartment, its adorable. I love your new hair color, looks beautiful on you. Hope you have the best NYC EXPERIENCE. Keep the apt videos coming.

[@alexis8488]

*sniffs candle* Brooke: “kinda smells like cough medicine” lmao love you Brooke

[@Laura-wl2mq]

maybe moving your nightstand to the other side and then putting the desk ordered you between the bathroom and your room? you could also get a ladder shelf that has a pull out desk and put that between your closet and your desk and still use the little ottoman as a chair there. i feel like either option could kind of create a makeshift dining table. you look so happy and confident with this move and something I totally aspire to- i'm actually moving to boston next month to pursue grad school (my total dream!) :)

[@summerm.a.9695]

I won’t be moving out for another year and everyone I know is already moving out this year. Living through everyone else 🙃

[@lisamays912]

Don’t feel bad I was in the process of moving trailer this year but I won’t be moving until 2021 Will get thereWhen the time is right

[@Gabstephensss]

you'll be happy you saved money by living with family

[@fionaking]

literally sameeee the fomo is real

[@thepursewhisperer2686]

You could get really cute hooks for your jewelry & put those anywhere in your room :) Also for rings etc you could get tiny bowls or plates to lay them in. They’re so many cute ones out there:) Love the new place, so happy for you!

[@JessicaDanielle1632]

You can put command hooks on the inside of the closet doors, or like one of those clear acrylic shelf things people used for nail polish or sunglasses on the inside of the door. That way it’s hidden away but still organized ☺️

[@x3lindzzzx3]

Socially distant park hangouts + takeout are the move in NYC right now. I think some restaurants are doing a better job than others with outdoor seating so I’m not entirely comfortable but up to you!

[@mylifeasgrace5597]

for your closet you can put your winter/fall clothes in bins in the storage above your closet and hang the rest!

[@IzabellaMia]

The apartment looks so good so far, I'm so happy for you! I've been loving watching your moving process, I'm moving into a new apartment in NYC at the end of the month so this has gotten me super excited!

[@louisereveret7668]

You look soooo happy that’s so nice !! Really enjoying your content lately you go girl! Can’t wait to see the next vlog of your new NY city gal life

[@Kbrown8531]

I cant get over your hair! It looks SO good! I also think its so awesome by the time you settle down in your forever home you will have lived in multiple states, major cities and who knows where else! AND We love a gal on the go who is always bettering herself

[@marianasanches1876]

Omg you should do a kitchen organization ,morning routine,tips for people that are moving alone to a new city.... there is so many good ideas! Love ya Brooke ,I’m so excited for this new chapter of your life

[@MakeupBySavannahXO]

you look and sound so much happier Brooke, IM SO HAPPY FOR YOUB

[@sadie5953]

The difference in your entire attitude & demeanor between your Boston move in vlogs & NYC move in vlogs is ASTRONOMICAL💫

[@reillymclaughlin4826]

These moving vlogs marks 1 year of me watching you and within no time at all you have become my all time FAV youtuber. I am so excited for this new chapter for you! Congrats on the move to your dream city Brooke! 💛

[@savannahapple1361]

I put little corkboards on the inside of my closet doors and hung jewelry on push pins. I also recently ordered an over the door jewelry armoire/mirror combo from amazon. Have to get creative with storage in NYC!

[@harmonyredding5616]

GIRLFRIEND you are literally THRIVING lately living your best life despite the current state of the world and I am LIVING FOR IT!!!!!! proud of you queen you deserve it more than anything

[@hayleydettenmayer4063]

I think your soul was meant to live and thrive in New York. The past few vlogs your light from within really shines when you bring it up. It’s great to see your growth from your 9-5 in Boston living such a mundane life to now living freely and on your terms. Keep manifesting and enjoying your 20’s! Can’t wait to see where you will be in a few months considering how much you’ve grown to this moment. Sending lots of light and love!!!!

[@sarababcock9841]

Your jewelry organizer would look cute on the windowsill with the real plants you want to get and you could spray paint your marble shower curtain hooks black or silver or something! Since your apartment is smaller, definitely look into organization options for your walls like shelves.

[@confabulatethat]

Maybe you can place the jewelry stand on the window sill where your picture frames are? Love seeing the apartment come together and especially love that you are in such a good mindset!! Happy for all of your success

[@longlifemusic7]

Would it be possible for you to install some floating shelves and hooks for the jewelry/accessories??

[@estiness3983]

The new apartment looks great so far! Maybe you should put the desk in the living room, against the wall between your bedroom and your bathroom. That way you have more space in your bedroom and you can separate your work space from your sleeping space. Also for the closet, you can try getting hangers that hang like 4 bottoms or tops, I got those for my closets in college and they gave me so much more space. you could also get hooks for the back of your bedroom door for your bags so you have more space on your closet floor

[@GiGiHoran1D]

Omg Brooke... I’m so happy for you. Truly you’re beaming with joy. You doing this makes me want to pack up and legit go live the life you’re living. I hope your first night was awesome, and settling in is a breeze 💞 can’t wait for more videos on apartment organizing and just life in NYC as an independent woman

[@divaakat253]

Btw you should try putting your bulky winter clothes in bins or in the storage closets outside in the living room and alternate for the winter. A tip for more space in the closet.

[@TaliaLea]

i don’t think i’ve ever been more excited for one of your videos omg!!!!

[@anaquintero3037]

you could definitely put your makeup organizer in the urban cart when you want to close that bathroom cabinet thing! also, maybe if you get another basket for your closet put all your sweatshirts in there so that you have plenty of hanging space?? the place looks amazing though, congrats!!!

[@DanceLikeCrazy210]

I love living vicariously through this! You seem so excited about being here, so happy for you! I loved this vlog and cannot wait to see more of your new life in NYC!

[@chandlercronk]

Hey Brooke I love your apartment so much and I’m so happy for you!! To create more space in your bedroom you could possibly put your bed up against the opposite wall next to the door so your night stand would be right next to the door when you walk in! Just a suggestion :)

[@JenLauren]

if you get a second bottom clothing rack in your closet from elfa the container store, you'll have double the clothing rack space and you can keep that drawer with jewelry on top :)

[@cailinshallow6240]

i am so excited for you!! you just seem so happy in this vlog and it makes me happy to see that!! like many others have said, i have noticed the growth and progress you have made over the past year or so. you are so genuine and real, you never try to act like someone that you aren't, and that's why you're one of my faves to watch!! hope you're loving nyc and can't wait to see more city vlogs :)))

[@therachaelgreenn]

ahhh i found you recently and am obsessed with you!! i love your apartment and how your personality is!

[@brittniharriss1883]

Maybe put the bed on raisers and put come cube shelves sideways under your bed for more storage? Thinking back to the college dorm days lmfao. Love the place its so small and cute and you seem so happy and bright!! Such good energy and vibes coming from NYC Brooke :,)

[@Jessiyeajin]

Brooke! How about a command hook type wall mount thing on the inside of your closet doors for your jewelry organization? That way you can see all your clothes and accessories in the same place but not have it out in the open. Is there enough space for that between the doors and the clothes?

[@victoriavargas1998]

I can tell you’re excited about this next chapter of your life! There is so much positive energy that radiates from you and all of the content you are putting out into the world. Super happy for you Brooke 💛

[@_atloa]

Omg Brooke I would love to have that mirror!! I’m from Queens,NY about a 10 minute train ride away from the city I would love to have that mirror me and my bf are moving in together soon too and I legit was on the market to buy a mirror like the one you’re looking to get rid of! Omg please let me know! I also have a car so i could pick it up pretty easily lol omg let me know! 💛

[@brookemiccio]

Omg! Message me on Instagram @brookemiccio :)

[@Meganmakennzie]

you're so happy and it is so refreshing to see!! love seeing your success!

[@paigeevans9746]

Living the life you deserve! You seem so happy :))) that is truly my dream NYC apartment. I heard your podcast comment about watching/listening to people older than you and that’s how I feel about watching you! I’m going into my senior year of college (which seems sad) but you make me so excited for post grad! ❤️ congrats on the apartment

[@brandeenicholson2233]

Bulletin board can be used as a cute decorative jewlery spot- hang it on the wall & you can cover it with a fabric that matches your decor. Then get cute pins.

[@dannie52874]

Everything looks great. Couple of suggestions. Floating shelves for your jewelry on your bedroom walls. Maybe over your nightstand? Hooks on the inside of your closet doors for your clothes for the next day. Shimmy the dresser to the left of your closet so you can open the drawers all the way. That closet door doesn’t open all the way. 😄🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉

[@morganbugler7959]

You should try folding your sweatshirts and putting them on that top rack next to those baskets! That’s how i do mine since i have whack built-ins that i hate, but is super functional and you’ll have so much more room to hang stuff on the other side.

[@mennahussein1019]

I’m so excited for this new journey ! Wishing you the best ☺️

[@tneff10]

If you want more hanging space in the closet you could fold your sweatshirts and put in a bin. You could put it on the top shelf of the closet, or the floor of the closet, or under your bed since you said you wanted to use that space for storage.

[@rockabillyholly]

Put your jewelry displayed on the window shelf. And get a hook for the inside of your closet door to put outfits for the next day. Also, under bed storage is great for small spaces.
