cleaning my entire apartment *aka being my own housewife*

[@elliagroneberg3688]

Do a “decorating” video. No big furniture, just the small things that make your apartment feel like home!

YESSS and links for where stuffs from!

[@kri8332]

Yessss

[@ariannahill665]

hai ava! tips for refreshing flowers: put a bit of ice in the water, flowers like cooler water especially roses :) cutting an inch or so from the bottom of the stem also helps. if the flowers ever come with the powder or food for the flowers, I like to save some of it, that way when it's time to put new water I sprinkle in the flower food that I saved. I love how the apartment/ vlogs have been coming along, you are so inspiring

[@freyab9130]

Sugar in the water helps their lifetime too immensely!!

[@sheilatorres3825]

Tip for those who feel they get distracted when cleaning : time yourself. This has helped a lot! Give yourself a realistic time “20 min to clean the bathroom” set a timer and it helps keep you on track.

[@gabriellekelly3141]

Hey Ava! I have a tip about your nightstands: I recommend getting a second one and putting it on the other side of your bed so it can be an even look. If you're worried about the space with the leaning bookshelf looking cluttered, maybe lean it against the wall right next to the wire basket where your tablet is charging to the right of your bed. That way, the wall with the outlet to the left of the window is still free, AND your bookshelf will face parallel to the bed and I think it could look really neat. You could also add some wall art on the original side of the shelf now. Let me know if you want me to clarify anything!

[@anastasiadeck]

exactly was I was thinking

[@itsapslife4625]

Ava I need you to know!!! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!!! you inspire me with sooo much and it’s insane because I have been following you for so long and I have grown up watching you!! I can’t express to you how big of an impact you have made in my life!! I LOVE YOU

[@connie_monie8842]

I completely agree

[@morgynm2866]

I’m loving these moving vlogs. They’ve actually gotten me to clean and rearrange my bedroom to something new and less cluttered

[@kri8332]

I know right !! They’re so motivating

[@siennakay3922]

another great cleaning tip is “15 minute pickup”, you set a timer for 15 mins and get as much as you can done. it’s always amazing how much you can get done and usually want to finish everything up by the time the timer has gone off!

[@angelathemoment]

If you plan out your laundry/ drier to put less loads with more content in them you will save money on the energy bill. Same with the dishwasher, you should make in fuller before turning it on or you will have a hefty water bill (I understand that you are only one person, but make it as full as you can with the things you have).

[@rafaelatavaresseixas8012]

Also, it is better for the environment. And she should use more reusable cleaning items! It is better for your wallet and our beautiful planet!!

[@angelathemoment]

@@rafaelatavaresseixas8012 totally! I didn't even think about it from that angle!

[@laurynblake3824]

Same I saw that she barely put any in the washer and dryer. Kinda sad because that’s a lot of water and electricity being used

[@angelathemoment]

@@laurynblake3824 a waste of resources and money!

[@khalilahd.]

We love a little productive self love. I love a good deep clean, great video Ava ☺️💚

[@annamoodley4948]

decor tip: for the wall area above your dresser in your bedroom, instead of a mirror you could put a painting by maybe Monet above it instead. What you could do with the painting is make it big and split it on to three canvases, making it look like three different paintings when it's actually just one whole painting but just one three canvases! :)

[@mathildefaure939]

decor tip (if it’s accessible in Hawaii): I highly suggest you to go in thrift stores to find cute decorations!! My appartement has never been more unique since I’ve found vintage posters, books and paintings! Thanks for bringing me comfort when u upload a vlog 💓

[@a_latte_mama]

I’m excited for the couch! Also, if you love your moms recipes, ask her if you and her can do a date and make a recipe book for your home with step by steps so you can start to learn! I did that with my parents after I moved. Love you!

[@baileythompson7882]

Hey! Just an idea for the living room - put the mirror back where it was near the window, move the bookshelf more to the right & put the little ottoman/ chair you got from target for your bedroom next to the bookshelf on the left with the lamp in the left hand corner nearest your fridge! It’ll create a perfect little reading nook. I hope that makes sense 🤣 your apartment is looking so beautiful!

[@camicat111]

yes! this would look so good

[@magnoliatree123]

I was literally thinking this!! But I would go a little crazy with the bookshelf and rotate it 90 degrees, so the books and their spines would be visible to the one in the chair/ottoman and the side of the bookshelf would be displaued

[@katyseiwert4594]

you should definitely get another nightstand to balance out the space and maybe move the leaning bookcase either in the cutout by your bedroom window if it fits or directly across from that on the other side of the window! love this series xx

[@trippinwithaliens]

one of my favorite things about watching you is you actually do motivate me. I'll pause your video, start doing my chores, and whatever else I need to get done then back to the video I go. truly thank you so much for motivating me!

[@vantruong-cc2cb]

I’m moving into my first apartment later this year, and I’ll be rewatching your videos so it feels like a little more comfortable! Thanks always for the inspiration!!

[@meganzakeri9621]

Your apartment is adorable! I’m so happy it’s coming together

[@sstaralien]

I can tell ava will have fun being a housewife cleaning and baking I can see her baking with children ☺

[@lucy-vj3cq]

Loveeee how the apartment is coming together! So proud of you 🤍

[@rylie.pacheco8370]

organize your fridge with us / asmr kitchen pantry stuff

[@nitacottrell6339]

This video was so therapeutic to watch and I ESPECIALLY agree that I cannot clean in silence. It makes the task seem 10x harder lol I know you're big on sustainability so I wanted to offer my fav cleaning alternatives to paper towels: washrags/rags, microfiber towels, and (my personal fav for cleaning mirrors) an old cotton t-shirt! Hope you had a good reset day today :)

[@maggie6847]

For cleaning an apartment, I recommend using microfiber rags and an all purpose cleaner instead of disposable wipes. This saves money and produces less waste! Try to use clean natural cleaners and reusable cleaning supplies. Love this video :)

[@xSamanthaalove]

yes!! This

[@saskiamoreland5084]

Exactly what I was thinking. She was using so much disposable things. Also expensive!

[@emilyyescobedo]

This may sound crazy but on Etsy people sell hanging planters made out of disco balls and I think it would go GREAT In your space!! Also a record player with some vinyls!!

[@samantharay8713]

I would love to see a Sunday reset every week omg let’s hold each other accountable(: and I need another book recommendation video PLZZ

[@em-sf8md]

Your apartment is finally coming together and I'm living fot it! It's so pretty I'm so proud of you

[@lulapaloozi]

I've spent all of January watching your videos and i sat down so excited to watch this! thank you so much for inspiring so many of us. Life can be really overwhelming and your channel is the perfect place to slow down. Love you and your content!!

[@jialufang]

YOUR APARTMENT LOOKS SO PRETTY!!! been loving the moving series and this video is the best start into the holidays

[@sashasplants1600]

Best tip I’ve learned is to tackle one space at a time. For example, clean the bathroom on Tuesday then clean the living room Wednesday that way you don’t get overwhelmed. Set realistic goals to not overwhelm yourself.

[@rylie.pacheco8370]

jsut wanted to say you’re so pretty 🤩

[@moonwater8089]

This is just what I needed. I've been putting off cleaning my space all day and your video gave me the kick that I needed to get started. Thank you!

[@emilieandersen8144]

You can extend vase life of flowers if you cut 1-2 inches of each flower stalk - at a 45 degree angle with a sharp knife💐☀️🌱

[@Shelykins1324]

I love love love seeing you filling your space with so much color and life! I’m so excited to see if all come together! I can’t wait til I can do this one day too 🥺❤️🎂🎂🎂🎂

[@SamanthaLily1]

This is healing to watch Helping here in the house every day makes me feel ready when I will move into my own.^_^ Btw, I love the Monet book💚

[@isabellalacy9901]

I love this so much and I am so obsessed with your content! Thank you for being such a light and you are so amazing at what you do! Thank you for being so entertaining and encouraging! Happy Sunday beautiful and your hard work never goes unnoticed.

[@dianak.1737]

i highly recommend going to a second hand or thrift store to find decor, especially vases, glasses, bowls, art, and other trinkets. It's a great way to save money and shop more sustainably!

[@louisemardellat]

Started following you recently and i really love your content :) cleaning tip : instead of wipes/paper towels, use microfiber cloths with cleaning products ! They’re reusable for forever, and more eco friendly :) you can buy a stack of them that will last you a lifetime !

[@lns9634]

Decor tip: you should put a fake fig tree by the side of your desk. This may not completely be your style but you should wrap led lights around the back of your floor mirror, it makes such a mode( I love having mine an orange color it almost looks like a sunset light). I definitely think you should put prints above your dresser, with a dowel and twine/rope so it’s hanging(if that makes any sense). Love your apartment and videos!!💕

[@tristastrong7394]

I know this is a different situation but I also know that Its hard for you living alone at first and as someone who is in college I relate to you a lot cause im homesick 24/7. we got this!!

[@xoamydang]

you should do a video thats your favorite places by your apartment: gym, coffeeshops, little markets etc. so we can see what you like to do and what life is like on the islands for you! also morning and night routines are always top tier. another fun video could be cooking with you as a new cook by yourself! something practical. can't wait for more content!

[@Kai_DoesArt]

I’m way to attached to this series. It just makes me happy 😭😎😎

[@hh43622]

I loved the mirror by the window! it opened up the space as it reflected the view. 💕💕

[@connie_monie8842]

I love you ava , you inspire me to be kinder and just I nicer person overall. I have watched your videos for a while and I have picked up so many good habits, continue being a wonderful human being, much love

[@connie_monie8842]

Omfg ava ilysm

[@saaaaarz]

been following you for years but started more actively watching your videos when you started moving and i have gotten so attached too! living alone is a whole ass journey and maybe you can get into a living alone diaries series :-) congrats to u on moving! i’ve been living alone for 8 years and was so far behind on everything you’re doing in my first year. i feel so proud lol x my lil cleaning tip is cleaning surfaces all over the house, then cleaning the floor last. it’s cleaner and all the dust from furniture falls off so u end up getting the best results at the end. and actively keeping the kitchen clean and cleaning toilet seats throughout the week too. for laundry, cleaning as u go sounds overwhelming but if u set two days for laundry then that feels easier and if it’s in ur schedule it’s not something you’ll dread, it’s something you can check off and feel productive doing

[@gaiarobotti6618]

Flower tip: trim the stem every day/two days and they’ll last longer 😊

[@jettwashed]

this was VERY relaxing

[@mckennagunn2994]

Hi I work at a flower shop and thought I could maybe help!!! Make sure you recut the ends of your flowers when you change the water! And make sure no leaves are in the water so the flowers don’t waste their energy feeding the leaves!!! Love your vids 😎

[@angiegomez8123]

💐 I’m not sure if someone has already suggested this and or if you do some of this but to help your flowers last longer you can change the water daily and cut the stems a little each day (cut them diagonally) and they’ll be fresh longer !! 💐 I did this all the time last summer and my flowers lasted a long time!

[@bridgetmulvihill4547]

definitely put the 2nd night stand as a a side table for the couch it would look amazing

[@michelleameyaw3419]

There has been a section of my room that I have been too emotionally exhausted to do for far too long and it was just adding to a bunch of stuff that’s been going on in my life, and I finally cleaned and organized all of it yesterday and I feel like a new woman😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 cleaning is AWESOME and so are youuuu Ava I love you and your videos sm🥺💜💜💜💜

[@snosjourney]

friendly tip ; for your flowers to stay longer cut the roots diagonally when they aren't fresh anymore (I would say ever2-3 days?) so they can drink up more water :)

[@nickywright2387]

🧁 i love how homey everything starting to feel and ur aesthetic is on point ngl xx

[@giadamancuso8351]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Please do a house tour when you’re done your apartment ;) also have you been calling your apartment “home” yet?

[@avajules]

yes I’ve caught myself calling it home a few times now :’)

[@gabrieladelaurenscastelet867]

loving the mirror near the furniture looks great im so like that like every now and then will move everything around for a fresh start xxxx

[@nija2106]

THESE VIDEOS BRING ME SO MUCH JOY I SWEAR I LIVE THROUGH YOU LOL

[@alice-emkimsoka4647]

Ava! No you can not run out of content… infact it’s a start of many more content.. morning routines, night routines in the new apartments, spend the day with me, cook with me, more life updates, organizing and others like book updates… there’s alot of video ideas

[@bxrgit]

PRO TIP: To make roses long laster cut the ends if they start to look droopy and remove some bottom leaves. Should be as good as new😊❤️

[@alexsaindon3461]

I absolutely love these videos, fun little tip about the flowers, every time you change the water, trim the ends down just a little bit and it extends their life a little more

[@formeridiot8641]

You are like the cousin that everyone looks forward to seeing

[@colbsobx2399]

🎂 watching your moving vlogs really made me feel like I was in the experience and it was really wholesome! I definitely liked the vines around the mirror, so adding more vines/greenery would look really good! Keep up with the great content!!

[@abigailcox9271]

I literally said "I am bored with KZbin. Can Ava just post already???" And here I am, the very first viewer. I manifested this lmao

[@leonievl1618]

Yess! Made my sunday 100% better

[@shahrazad8228]

AVA MOVE UR BOOKSHELF AND CORNER IT!! Basically put it at an angle and it will open up the room. (The middle of the bookshelf should not be touching a wall // one side of the bookshelf should touch the refrigerator wall and the side should touch the washer room wall if that makes sense)

[@ylinka.]

I am so happy to see this video !!! You are my comfort youtuber , tommorow i start my internship at a daycare and im like so stressed and one of the things that help me to stay calm is watching your videos , thank you Ava !

[@flowersarecool7304]

Ava!!!! You are such a comfort creator and honestly, I didn't really want to tidy before I saw this. < 3

[@mariannapol7852]

you are one of my comfort person...thank you!

[@MiaKehrer]

love watching your vlogs :) just one tip: don't run your washing machine with so few clothes because otherwise so much water and energy is wasted

[@anadusao]

i think it's bad for the washing machine too!

[@chloekaey]

This!

[@tristianabell3002]

Honestly you just vlogging what you do in a day is entertaining to me 💗

[@isabellawalters3151]

PAUSE, YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO HAVE LIVE PLANTS?!?!

[@haiyen3898]

🎂 ! looove your apartment videos and honestly will miss ur moving series so much :( u inspire me so much and ur positive energy is literally so contagious.

[@paulinagauly9871]

I really like your videos, you are awesome. Just wanted to remind you that it is not productive to label your video as *being your own housewife*. Being a housewife is completely fine, but the way you labeled it, just reproduces stereotypes, which makes it much harder for women to fight them. Housework should not only be done by "wifes". This should not be shade in any form. I really like and appreciate you. Wish you all the best

[@madihandt9118]

YES AVA please put a tall fake plant by your desk! I can’t wait to see what you do with the corner never to your dresser! And your couch omggggg girl I can’t wait

[@user-cq1ox4vr6p]

Why are you starting washing machine for only like 3 towels? Thats such a waste

[@samvardhika123]

Hey , it looked like you cried before recording the video . We support you 😍 and it’s okay to feel sad 🥰

[@thebookbujo]

Ugh yesh cleaning the kitchen each night is KEY 💖 can’t wait to see what’s after moving :))

[@joanagmatos]

Use micro fiber cloths to clen its so much easier!! U can keep one in the sink next to your sponge and clean the counters a otherd to even clean the mirrors, dust and the bathroom

[@kkaattoo9005]

i love how many tips are in this video and in the comment section!! they’re def so helpful i love this community 🥺🥺

[@mads1864]

this video literally helped me clean my entire dorm room. thanks ava

[@alexisaguilar3309]

i always hop on youtube and hop you have posted so i can watch a video and relax and you always come thru 💗 officially put the post notification on for you. i love your videos sm. enjoying this moving series

[@MamaMimi_GFm3]

For the flowers...if you recut the bottoms when they start to droop and change the water often they last longer. You can use the flower powder stuff...or an aspirin or b12 (like drop a b12 tab in) in the water too.

[@fiorellav9569]

Yees the thing about the mirror facing the bed, here in Ecuador they always say that you shouldn't put a mirror in front of your bed, because at night while you're sleeping your spirit will leave your body and get trapped inside the mirror (?) or it will get scared and go away because of the reflection of your body in the mirror , something like that, lol. Sorry for my english, I speak spanish so I tried my best with this coment. Anyways, I love your videos and I'm so proud of all the goals you're achiving, you're such an inspiration for me. Have a nice day!

[@katherinelowell220]

all your content is just so wholesome, you can help but smile after watching one of your videos, you’re truly an inspiration, thank you for sharing your life with us

[@mimmiihanamaki749]

i love how you can see the sky from the mirror!!!! but this gave me so much motivation because I'm cleaning the whole house by myself today

[@abbigalehodge7995]

Ava I have recently found you’re channel, and I love it, I come back to you’res videos all the time when I need motivation.

[@kenzleyhunt-larkins6939]

your literally my comfort youtuber. i love you so much

[@Jacobeluhv]

I absolutely love how much videos you have shared with your whole moving experience. I love your vibe! So glad we can see how you’d vibe out your entire apartment rather than just your room, which is so awesome!

Your videos are so comforting. Thank you for inspiring me Ava! ☺️🌸

[@bellapilkington2205]

hey Ava just wanted to suggest to fill your washing machine up more, so put your whites with your linens and your darks with your brown towels, as It will save so much water and energy xx

[@Rosie-wl7tr]

Sunday’s are my reset day too!! I do a spa relaxation day at home, I clean, and just relax before Monday😚💗

[@victorialynn7183]

I used to work at a smoothie shop and our best green smoothie recipe was passion fruit, pineapple, mango, banana, coconut water, leafy greens, and a teeny bit of stevia sweetener. I liked to put a little lemon in mine too, so good

[@jasm5170]

please never stop with the cleaning vlogs bc I LOVE THEM

[@bea-vx3bp]

Hi Ava!! I love your videos sm but I just wanted to say that it would be great if you do big laundry runs (putting lots of things in the washer at once) rather than ones with barely anything in it. Just trying to be eco friendly :)

[@hollychapman7137]

Ava vlogs r the best thing on this planet! Can’t wait to see all the future content that’s coming :) 🎂🎂

[@mailemaitai]

growing up my parents would usually cook the meals and leave all of the cleaning in the kitchen for me and my siblings, it sucked at the time but now that i moved out i am so grateful because cleaning my kitchen is just instinctual and even therapeutic for me now

[@julso4823]

i love these vids sm ava literally i just play one of these while I’m cleaning or organizing & it gives me sm motivation lol, tyyyy

I've been waiting for this all dayyy🎂luv you can't wait for more apartment content 💕

[@elviastyles6097]

if you cut your flower stems when you change the water your flowers will last longer, also cut the stem at an angel so that they can drink the most water. oh you can also cut one stem at the time and add it into the water that way the stem doesnt seal.
