another week in my life in NYC (living alone at 23)

[@jerim4543]

As a fellow sweat-drenched New Yorker, I HIGHLY recommend getting a small shopping cart. It takes less energy to push or pull your groceries than to carry them. Some of them are even cute, not that anyone cares about being cute anymore. Pasta tip learned the hard way: unless you're a chef (or an old Italian Grandma) who can get everything done at the same time, do the sauce first and then cook the pasta. Sauce can sit around but pasta really can't.

[@HannahElise]

Idk how my Italian grandparents did it tbh, but I will DEF start making the sauce first, then the pasta 😂😂

[@jbeeee42]

seconding the granny cart. Changed my life. You can even get ones that are basically just big square sleek shopping bags that have little pop-out wheels so you can essentially set it down and just roll it along!

[@styleonrepeat]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who eats with one foot propped up on the chair and my knee near my chin, haha! I'm 55 and have been doing this my entire life and don't anticipate stopping anytime soon. Thanks for being so thoughtful with the Charley content, LOVE HERRRRRRRRR. 😸❤

[@leahgpearl]

why are you verified ahhaa

[@styleonrepeat]

@@leahgpearl none of anyone's business really, but I was an early adopter of Google's verification service back in the early 2000's. When they acquired KZbin I was grandfathered in. I wish I wasn't "verified" because people keep asking about it and it's getting old ...

[@leahgpearl]

@@styleonrepeat oh sorry

[@HannahElise]

It's just SO COMFORTABLE I don't see a reason to stop!! & you are most welcome, I know she is the star of the show 😌

[@styleonrepeat]

@@HannahElise never stop being you, you are an absolute delight! 🙂

[@mariahwyant]

It doesnt matter how you late you post. I get so excited to get a notification everytime you post a video! Love you girl and I hope you have a wonderful week!

[@HannahElise]

Love YOU!! thank you so much, I hope you have a great week too :)

[@hayleywilliams4181]

@@HannahElise Where's your new little initial disk necklace from? Super cute!!

[@BetweenThePagesWithLouLou]

Tip for the pasta - once you’ve drained it, run it under cold water. That stops it from continuing to cook and drizzle with a bit of olive oil whilst still in the colander, that will stop it from sticking.

[@bobessems2529]

I really enjoyed watching this. I always assume you’re living the best life and going around and about all day long and now I see you’re facing all the same b*llsh*t we all face (not wanting to go outside etc.). Thank you for this real footage, so relatable!

[@HannahElise]

HAHA I'm only living my best life like 10% of the time 😂😭

[@alyaaelzhaby619]

The best whole 34:22 minutes in my week , it's like a selfcare time watching u , love u 😘😘

[@nataliamanna1047]

pls hannah mentioning gilmore girls and schitts creek in the same video is giving me life, i’m so glad you’re liking gg i’ve been watching it since i think six grade and i’m graduating high school this year so it’s always been my comfort show and i’m glad it’s bringing you the same feeling🥰

[@isabellalacy9901]

Hey Hannah! I just wanted to say that you are such an inspiration! Thank toy for being yourself and I love seeing your day to day life! Ilysm

[@HannahElise]

thank you so much for this & just for being here! I love and appreciate you 🥺🫶

[@au_barb]

Hannah, fr get some roach traps, the little plastic disk kind that already have bait in them. You can hide them behind furniture, under your appliances, in cabinets, etc where Charley won't find them. You have to switch them out every 3 months I believe. They work! And there's nothing gross or disgusting to touch or handle. It's very easy. Target should have them. Loved the Statue of Liberty footage! She is so much more beautiful in person than people realize. One of my favorite NY experiences for sure. If you haven't already been to Liberty Island to see her up close, I HIGHLY recommend. I didn't even do the climb up inside of her, you couldn't pay me to do that, but just walking around Liberty Island and seeing her up so close was a truly magical experience. Your Alfredo looked so incredible, well done! 💕

[@annaelenaa]

I’m obsessed with the vibe you have going in the last few vlogs. They’re so happy and social and fun!!! 🦋 Proud of you H

[@its.summernile]

The effort this lady puts on her videos 👌🏼✨ All the love, Hannah!

[@alyannaross]

as a homebody myself, i love that youre always at home even if you live in nyc !!! T^T your vlogs always relax me so much

[@rebekah4792]

The shots from the boat were incredible!!!love seeing you live your life, your early twenties are such a great time!! One day I will visit New York, but for now I enjoy living vicariously through you haha thanks for sharing!! ❤️✨🤩

[@Fuzzyragable]

the fact that the club penguin pizza theme played while you were cooking is why i love u so much

[@tzuchi3358]

When living alone makes you learn soooo much thing cuz you are the only one😭😭😭😭😭stop being so relatable Hannah

[@HannahElise]

honestly yeah LOL

[@Meg-fx4tc]

I just watched Gilmore Girls for the first time last fall and you are going to be SO IN LOVE w the show in the fall time there is nothing like ittttt

[@lukeellefson6929]

You make the coziest videos ever. They help me fall asleep

[@BethGould]

Girl you gotta get one of those rolling grocery cart things they’re a game changer 💗

[@rebeccacartier153]

When you’re soaking the shrimp to thaw,that’s the perfect time to pull the tails off…also the pasta water will also help homogenous your sauce

[@HannahElise]

I know I just got overwhelmed 😂😂😭

[@peytonelvington1668]

Okay but watch Gilmore Girls in the fall when the leaves are changing… entirely new experience 10/10 recommend

[@callmechow6142]

I've never had the desire to live in NYC, but Chicago and you just know how to capture the beauty of a city. This is my dream one day to live in a city.

[@isabelpichardo6]

this video came at my aid when i needed it!! also now have the crave for pasta while watching this after seeing home cooking with hannah. thank you hannah for the sudden pasta need and the video. lots of love. ♡

[@emilys8961]

re: self tanning; I'm gonna be honest self tanning is too intimidating to me so I don't mess around with the foams or whatever BUT Jergen's natural glow has been great and easy because it's literally just lotion so you literally can't screw it up (unless you forget to wash your hands after or accidentally put it on your ankles. don't do that).

[@fiorapiasecki3474]

I’m obsessed with Gilmore girls no idea how many times I’ve watched it anymore. That pasta looks 🔥

[@noone-xp9sh]

Just found your channel, love your authenticity lol. I've also just started living alone, your vlogs have helped make it seem a lot more doable. Thanks for what your doing and please keep doing it :)

[@bahiadakir5798]

Lumma you really don't have any idea of how much you saved me....I'm so thankful, you're a beautiful person and deserve the best from life❤️

[@mariannefoucrault]

I used to get mad at myself for sleeping during the day on the weekend, litterally missing the best part of the day/summer/life (lol anxiety), but damn : I'm tired, I have insomnia, and I'm depressed. So I'll take whatever my brain gives me. I still sometimes feel bad, but I try to see it positively. PSA ❤️ If your body is tired, listen to your buddy ❤️

[@Gabby_Aulogiari]

I literally stayed up till 1 am to see your video and I’m not even regretting it! Kisses from Greece💙

[@taylorkardos6521]

a video of you and your mom watching the bachelor would honestly be so entertaining

[@LE123LE123]

I’m not surprised you crashed on Monday for 3 hrs after that stressful weekend of uninvited critters I always say listen to your body. That boat ride was stunning! I bet you all had a great time! Let’s all pray that autumn weather comes soon-I’m ready for hoodies and cool air :) PS: I was making a dish that needed fettuccini noodles and had the hardest time finding them as well! What’s with that?

[@alice-xs6eg]

at first i was hesitant to watch her longer videos cause i thought i would get bored. i was so mistaken. hannah is so entertaining and i literally want to live like her when i'm older

[@kayleeadams6930]

I understood the schitts creek reference, & my mom taught me that if you forget to save pasta waters splash of olive oil helps keeps it from sticking.

[@diellzagashi5592]

I actually love when you add food parts. It’s like, my favorite part all the time when I finish watching every video of yours. That might sounds a little funny 😆 Love you Hannah❤️

[@mariannefoucrault]

Oh my, those shots on the boat 😭 so perfect. This is what life is about!

[@avivbuzaglo1410]

I lovee your videos, they are literally my comfort KZbin videos recently🤍 I have a tip for you for your next pasta cooking. When you strain the pasta use cold water after the straining, so the pasta is cold and it won’t be sticky. I do this all the time. Hope this will helppp

[@dakotaann1434]

No matter the content I always find myself happy and smiling while watching your videos. please never stop

[@AhiruEle]

I want to say thank you for this video because it's relaxing me so much and at the same time is giving me the strength to do something with my day ❤️

[@itzbeckyz_vibe]

THANK YOU for sharing the recipe!!! Literally no one ever shares like that and it's SO helpful! Thanks girl!! 💗💗💗💗

[@KaylaKolben]

I love how real and down to earth this vlog is. you. are. a. VIBE

[@niomimayes3688]

I’ve already watched this video eight times. It’s just the vibes for me! I love your videos ❤

[@bernadinemarchan4596]

As soon as I started watching the video, I immediately loved it. You never failed to impress me every week 😘😘😘, I'll tell you this, my Sundays aren't complete without watching at least one of your videos, simple as that 🤷

[@lunasole4920]

I just remembered I NEVER properly commented and thanked you -not only for inspiring me so much to live my everyday life as a "far from home living without parents" student- but also for making me discover my ABSOLUTE favourite podcast ever (which is obviously crime junkie)! Also, I'm a real one but I always feel unworthy to comment it every time lmao

[@agonernow]

hey girl! i’m not actually sure if that’s what you were going for, but here are some tips to get the bechamel sauce thicker bc i think that’s what the base of your pasta sauce was :) - use wayy more flour in the beginning! the butter and flour are supposed to form something that has a dough-like texture - don’t be scared if it looks too dry - then take the pan from the stove, put 1/4 of your milk (or cream) in and stir like crazy during it until the butter-flour-“dough” is dissolved - this takes practice, but some clumps won’t kill you and you’ll get it eventually :) - put it back on the stove and add milk in small portions (like you did), but wait for the sauce to bubble and get thick before adding more - this might take a while but i find it really pays off bc in the end you have a thick sauce that makes pasta really satisfying without even needing tons of cheese (ofc you can add it after bc it tastes great) sorry if this was really random and unprompted but maybe it helps on your pasta journey :)

[@autumnrandall1333]

Your videos help me calm down and get stuff down. Your such an inspiration to me! I love your Hannah!!❤

[@mirjam9236]

this video just made my day so much better fr fr

[@sammykeane]

[@michelleerodri]

these are my favorite type of videos for sureeeee, thank you Hannah!

[@lindacooper2579]

Absolutely got the Schitt’s Creek “fold in the cheese” reference 🤣🤣

[@HannahElise]

thank GOD lol

[@au_barb]

@@HannahElise I literally cackled

[@BrittanyFaith]

This made my day exponentially better

[@NeonOstriches]

I’m late but I’m so glad you’re watching Gilmore girls. I finished it a few months ago and was obsessed. Best fall show ever!!

[@thatsthetea6062]

Your vlogs are always so cozy! 💕 like the shot of Charlie under the covers! I stand!🌟

[@allisonvillard696]

Cooking tip: buy already minced garlic. It comes in a jar, and you just spoon out the amount you need. It saves so much time and is just as good.

[@reneeathziretbotellogarza4763]

The favorite part of my week is when I see one of your videos

[@oindrilasengupta4669]

I love how you get so excited by the little things. So pure ❤️💋 love you ❤️

[@maryannolson3903]

Hannah no you don’t understand my three all time favorite shows are TVD, Gossip Girl, and Gilmore Girls and now you started watching it! I rewatch it every fall it’s so good

[@jiminsfunknsoul]

i never comment but i just wanted to say: hello!! i just graduated college in may and im planning on moving to nyc soonish/fall, and ive been watching your vids the past few months or so to get in the vibe of moving out and nyc etcetc. your vids are so comforting to me,, feels like hanging out w a friend, and it feels like my postgrad nyc dreams are in reach :)) i always look forward to your uploads! ily and i hope you have a good week!!

[@inesmelissaa]

tip: don't add water to avoid the pasta to stick. add butter, it will taste way much better & won't retain a lot of water. the pasta will look weird a day after or something...

[@brooklynannj]

my favorite part of the week is when hannah post

[@Darklink7884]

Same here. I love her with my whole heart. ❤️

[@HannahElise]

you are too sweet 🥺❤

[@Goldzzombie]

Another thing, when u drain the pasta, put it back in the pan and immediately add a swirl of olive oil to stop it all sticking together x

[@kaseymaison1658]

I can watch your videos any day, any time. Such a refreshing, real channel xx all love H

[@selcendemir3107]

HANNAH we need a tutorial on your regular FIRE coffeess!!! Please make a video lol I need it!

gilmore girls is my comfort show! i always have to watch it in the fall. it just has that ~fall~ vibe

[@johanna1262]

When you love your coffee, you should try out the Brown sugar shaken espresso from Starbucks! But there's also many great tutorials on yt about how do do the sirup by yourself and it tastes amazing!

[@emmamorse6673]

What season are you in in Gilmore Girls?? I love that show, I rewatch it every fall 🥺 it gives the coziest vibes

[@sherlynvazquez6769]

Girl, thank you so much for posting, I just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed, I feel like crap, and when I saw you posted yesterday I was like, " I'm gonna wait until tmrw because her video is probably gonna be the only thing that makes me feel somewhat better". And it did🥲🥰 Especially because it was a nice and long video, girl, I loved everything minute of it. Also, watching you make the linguini Alfredo made me cry a little because it looked so good and I'm here stuck eating baby food and pureed food for 2 weeks🥲😭 But you did such a good job!! We love you so much, you are literally my favorite youtuber, and thank you for making me forget about my pain for a bit❤️🤞🏼

[@lori929]

Oh Hannah, I love your vlogs. You are so funny and witty. Great cooking episode, just a hint, after I drain the pasta (I also forget about saving the pasta water) I pour a little Olive oil over the noodles, this helps them from not sticking. Your food looked great! Please keep these videos coming, I truly enjoy them.

[@maureenlynch6504]

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

Loved watching NYC vlogs, brings so many memories! Thanks for sharing this again Hannah! And I can totally relate to the struggles with roaches and mouse, I honestly dread it. Hoping everything is now okay in there. Thought I'd recommend a good travel carry-on bag you can consider on your future travels. It's the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.

[@sally2595]

it's my first time commenting here, not just because english is not my first language, but because i usually feel awkward when i do it, BUT. but. i can not keep this to myself: i literally LOVE how you edit your videos. maybe they're not perfect (but who can tell what perfect means, honeslty?) but they have these little things that i love, like the music you choose, jazzy and with the perfect vibes, and the one you put in the clips where you show the mess you made in the kitchen when you went to clean it, DAMN GIRL, it almost felt like watching a movie, it was a very nice detail and somebody had to say it, so i'm putting aside my fear of looking dumb when commenting and just say it, cause i think you should feel appreciated for this kind of things too, since you spend a crazy amount of time editing. also i wanted you to know that you get me inspired to do things, i usually feel too mentally tired and kind of like out of the world to get even the tiniest and most ordinary things done, and usually don't enjoy life at all for Reasons™, but you somehow have the power to encourage me. so thank you for that!! i hope you get to read this, and now i go back to never commenting anything cause it's super awkward bye love u

[@mkwilsonrodriguez]

I live in NY and there’s an all natural peppermint essential oil rodent repellent spray that I get from Amazon I think. I spray that alllllll over my apt and it really works at keeping pests away. Wishing you luck queen

Kinda late this week but this is exactly what i needed to relax to tonight, thanks hannah 🤍

[@carleymuilenburg1295]

It warms my soul that you are watching Gilmore girls. It has been my favorite show for years now so much so that I am about to get a puppy and her name is going to be Rory. So I’m so happy for you that you get to experience the gloriousness that is Gilmore girls.

My mental break of the sunday , xoxo

[@HannahElise]

:) happy to spend it together

[@viccib12]

if you rinse your pasta with hot water after you drain it from the pot it will help with the sticking. Also, for an omelette, don't use milk, only eggs. You add milk for scrambled eggs. loved seeing your week 🙂

[@Hi.claire]

Great video, but for the alfredo pasta thing you could try it without the shrimp, it would be a real italian recipe called “cacio e pepe” you just have to use pasta, romano cheese and parmesan cheese along with quite a lot of pepper, it’s delicious!

[@Jaden-lh2tk]

The way I got so excited seeing it was 34 minutes long! I always get so excited for you videos Hannah love you

[@HannahElise]

so glad you like long vlogs too!! love you more :)
