Anyone else just so proud of how far Elena has come in her apartments? Like homegirl was literally living out of a shoebox with 5 other roommates & now, she's moving into a brand new beautiful home. I couldn't be prouder 😭

[@shirintaber3345]

Makes mom happy to see you planting.

[@raquellambropoulos279]

Moving is both challenging and exciting and I just moved from Chicago to Nevada at 51. I really only brought the neccesitys and I feel so free!! Im finally at the decorating part my favorite!!

[@maketheworldwonder]

Those plants look amazing. Im all for the urban junglalow vibe. Its like so calming to have plants around like they are automatic friends that provide great air.

[@eleanorday4054]

At the moment I’m living vicariously through Elena

[@alicia8239]

i am going through a hard time at the moment and your content has been keeping me sane because i have something to motivate me and wake up to, I hope you realize how positive of an impact you have in our everyday lives Elena :) (Also you got vaccinated yayyyy)

[@Katherout]

this whole plant process was so satisfying to watch i have never seen a more thorough and appealing plant styling vid!!!! also i literally was thinking to myself the other week how badly i'm in need of someone to just come into my space and assess the lighting cause i am SO bad at it. @mariah PLS go on tour hahaha

[@damondominique]

wait i need the plant doctor, but paris version....

[@astrostorm96]

always love seeing Damon on videos of my other fav KZbinrs

[@maellea8437]

Saaaame if you ever find them please do share, I can’t be responsible for another plant-murder haha

[@ElenaTaber]

she needs to go global👀

[@nocdrty]

And your comments are everywhere 😛... I feel like your watching all of us viewers and coming to chat and saying to us "pikaboo...caught you again here watching it .. " ... 😂..

[@coreyjared8813]

Pro tip: you can watch series at Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@Emxcix]

omggg i love watching maryah on headspace!! shes my fav of all the wakeup vids ahh

[@unknownpersonbye]

i literally can't wait to live the same life as elena, you really deserve every good thing you have right now!!

[@aaolsen1]

I lived on south thompson st for years and it makes me feel so warm inside when you film the neighborhood 🥺💛 love it so much!

[@responsibleregalia]

That tip of looking for plants that are actively growing is such a good one.

[@halliesharpless9298]

Your videos make me so excited to live in the city someday!! It's so lovely to see so much life coming back to it-- thank you for sharing such fun moments and places!

[@jfox9126]

You’re really Motivating me this morning to finish decorating my apartment! I moved during the pandemic, and because it was kind of hard to shop, everything is still in disarray. Love your choices in fashion, home decor etc. Always pitch perfect - I can see the SoCal vibes coming through!

[@dinolondyn3962]

I’m obsessed with your videos. Lol. Your editing is so calming. I really want to visit NYC so I’m jotting down all the cute spots.

[@heideemm6669]

you are who i strive to be. I’m 17, but when I grow up I want to be just like you.

[@sorchx]

Enjoy being young though. I'm 26 now and miss being a teenager so much. It goes so fast it's unbelievable. Pretty much every adult you meet would love to be your age again, even just for a little while :P.

[@wearilive]

NOTIF SQUAD round 2

[@moonmedicineyoga]

Love that you two posted around the same time ❤️

[@SydneyJewel]

Me: I haven’t seen Elena’s nyc diaries in a while *five mins later* KZbin: ELENA TABER- Me: immediately clicks and watches the vid twice.

The definition of aesthetic

[@alexandratrianta2340]

[@nizampabil5664]

[@valkal23]

Love the music on this vlog, was a nice change from the previous music :) Although I live in a small town in central Canada, I live vicariously through you in NYC!

[@lauramarazzi1012]

I loved this vlog so much! Your home is so beautiful!

[@rlima2024]

I love your vlogs, they're so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait to (hopefully) move to NY one day. Do you have any suggestions on how to find "affordable" apartments in Brooklyn? Thank you so much, Elena! ❤

[@responsibleregalia]

Yay! Very excited for this one.

[@GroovyKnees]

I WAS going to shower, but it’ll have to wait 18 mins

[@ElenaTaber]

😂

[@mariannakusy6676]

I absolutely love your videos! So relaxing ..

[@KeturaSaint-Fleurose]

Oh my gosh thank youuu for showing us Mariah 😭 for the past few weeks I’ve been wondering if there’s such a thing as a plant expert/doctor 😫 someone who can come over like she did! Hopefully it’s not expensive I’ve been to those vintage shops! 👌🏾❤️

[@sarahb713]

I think I recognize Maryah from her segment on The Wake Up on Headspace ??? That's so cool!

[@brynndolfi]

Ahhh I recognize Maryah from Headspace! I love her segment on the wake up 🌱

[@aliciazagelbaum8347]

I have a lot a plants in my plants ! Love it

[@janamadrid1663]

I just saw you in a USAA renters insurance commercial and was like wait what was that

[@kristinabarsketis1684]

elena, you either said "hello, little chicken" or "hello... little check-in" at 5:08 then I realized that it was the second one, and now I'm like "damn, I'm not a little chicken".

[@elise7892]

i literally just bought my first plants in years for my new ny apt and i’m really trying not kill them this vid and mariah could not have come at a better time

[@erickamontanafitness6204]

Elena your place looks amazing so far. The living room is gorg, reading nook is goals. And the plants are life!! What brand is the black mask you wear? I want! Also, hi Fletcher 👋🏼

[@ak65432]

Good vibes in this one ❤️❤️❤️ ty

[@montypop]

Maryah is living the entrepreneurial dream...poking around people's homes and buying plants all day?? Sign me up!

[@momostudioo]

I see your books and I notice a new one every time. We have similar taste lol I love your videos :)

[@THEnicolelizabeth]

Hi elena! I'm so proud of how far you've come and the work you do but I do have a qualm with today's sponsor only bc of the note of subject to account approval. I know that in choosing a company to feature in a vid, you're not intending to be exclusive, you just want something that will/could help viewers or be a great option for people in building their wealth/economic stability, but I do think that this ad is exclusive to folks without SSN or ITINs. I'm not sure if this really matters or not, but it was something I thought of bc this ad is only applicable to a select sector of your viewers (but I also know this could be said about literally any ad anywhere on youtube as well)

[@ryannuzzaci4935]

Ah you should check out Alberto and Sons in East Williamsburg! Eclectic spot with lots of great vintage mid mod furniture and knick knack decor

[@ElenaTaber]

Ah I most definitely will! Thank you!!

[@ryannuzzaci4935]

@@ElenaTaber For sure. Btw, I actually have a vintage IMG Luna reading chair that I'm selling if you're into it, lmk. I'm in Bushwick, actually just a block from Alberto and Sons ha

[@joymae]

You need to check out the plant shop on 8th and 2nd ave

[@victorlui5955]

Ohhhh, how 2 vlog. I like coffee, it's boho, in the soho.

[@missellie27]

Love your content Elena from another Elena! Super nosy but I always wonder if you will move in with Fletcher soon, yall are super adorable! xoxo from TX

[@madeinthevalleys23]

[@lunabombay]

[@carolinaschott]

[@SaraB305x]

You should make a video reviewing book that you have read so far! Would love to know more about them!

[@claudyayrne]

Yes yessss I would love this tooo!!

[@vournalist]

I too would like my house to look like a greenhouse

[@cassiopeia6357]

you’ve probably read this lol but book rec if you haven’t: “MY BRILLIANT FRIEND” by Elena Ferrante; it’s an amazing portrayal of female friendships and childhood in post-war Naples, Italy and it’s truly beautiful! I’m on the second book rn 🥰

[@priequaye7480]

[@sharvaniatnurkar7190]

[@outdoorhannah]

Does anyone know the song ID at 6:06? I love that! Maybe it's from a stockmusic platform?

[@alainabarnhart9421]

Where is your blue cardigan in the thumbnail from?

[@josepha133]

What's the necklace you are wearing in the beginning? 🙈

[@BellaDiary]

Hey girrrl! Love you and love your apartment and your plants but babe - you should never repot directly into a pot or container like that if it doesn't have drainage holes! I did that once and the little guys are no longer with us... rest in peace x

[@Lauren_aida]

Why am I wasting time in grad school when I could be a plant doctor

[@afinn8480]

[@thedduck]

omg Elena.. 😲

[@MayWonder]

I so need the plant doctor. My plants last 6 months then they die.

[@BrittShields]

[@danni6257]

Hi Elena, how come you had to repost your video again?

[@zirariaya7555]
