How It's Really Going | Moving Updates & Home Renovation Plans

[@paigejames4597]

Definitely deep clean first!! A good amount of times painters can paint over dirt, bug droppings, etc. I like to rinse all the walls to remove dust and old energy - to get to know every inch of the space and appreciate the new home!

[@CarrieRad]

So true! Love this. Ok, feeling good about our decision.

[@paigejames4597]

Also.. I lived in Australia for a couple years.. and the sushi thing if definitely different!! It’s more of a lunch take away place. Something my partner and I miss being in the U.S. now. So sweet seeing all the new things that are slightly different that you are just discovering. That’s something I wish I appreciated more!

[@The.Caroline]

Pro tip from a contacts user with dry eyes; drop your eyedrops on your eyes first, then into your contacts before putting them on. I’m sure dropping only into your contacts will be a massive help if your eyes aren’t as dry as mine. I got this tip from my eye doctor. It feels AMAZING. Life changing.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thermal springs in New Zealand are so nice! We experienced thermal springs for the first time in Hamner Spring in New Zealand and we've been hooked ever since :D

[@AmandaWeldon]

I think storytelling is so important in vlogs and Carrie you absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one. It's so funny while watching I was thinking omg this vlog is going to be so wonderful for Carrie and Alex's kids to watch one day. Just adore you both and these videos just keep getting better and better! xo

[@CarrieRad]

Wow thanks so much! That means a lot. Haha yes that’s one reason I love vlogging, it’s essentially a video diary we can look back on one day.

[@GodessSiri]

Deep clean first. The last thing you want is dirt under the paint - the paint job won't last as well. I don't know if you you have Sugar Soap in the States but that's what you want to clean with, get it at Mitre 10 or Bunnings (some of the supermarkets have it), it's Selleys brand and it comes in a dark blue bottle. You dilute it in hot water so even though the bottle looks small you only need one to do an average house top to bottom and it's what everyone, including the professionals, use in NZ to prep before painting. The cleaning company you're using will probably sugar soap the walls and ceilings if they're doing a 'move in clean' but you should have a bottle on hand and give everything a rinse before you paint. Hokey Pokey is the bomb but Tip Top is only the second best brand. If you're ever anywhere that you can get Rush Munroe's then get it!!! Expensive and not widely available but so so good.

[@LoveBreatheLaugh]

I never comment, but I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful video! I have been watching your videos for years and years. I just underwent surgery at 21 weeks pregnant and this made me feel heaps better and kept my mind off of things. All the best with your new house adventure! I also agree with everyone! Deep clean first! Also helps make it feel like yours ❤️.

[@AlexanderAyling]

I love how you bring your stories together. So relaxing

[@ellab2162]

What I recommend for dry eyes: Take breaks from contacts, take flax seed oil/omega 3 daily, order your preferred contacts online if you can, warm compress when you shower (facecloth to gently clean eyes/eyelashes) you can use baby shampoo to make this cleaning work better. This helps clean out the oil glands that need to work properly to protect your eye's surface. I also find my eyes feel better when I'm drinking more water. Lubricating eye drops are nice but kind of treat the symptom and not the root cause.

[@honeypotaka7252]

Loved every second of it! I'm soooo glad your are BOTH home to appreciate Hokey Pokey ice cream and the beautiful country (I am born and bred in) that this delicacy derives from. I discovered both of you randomly and love the differences and commonalities of both perspectives. We are all blessed to be here in New Zealand, healthy, and safe. Thank you both for reminding us how privileged we are.

[@SweetHeavensSunshine]

Love your video! Your intro is beautiful! Lots of fun to watch too! A relaxing day for sure. I would recommend as far as painting goes, that you do a deep clean first, ensuring that the walls are also cleaned, to remove any dust/dirt- for a nice fresh surface for the paint to have a smooth adherence to. It will also allow you to feel like you can really cozy into the house, and paint at your own pace, so you won’t feel extra dirty when you leave the house after each paint session. Whatever residual mess is left after you paint, can easily be given a surface clean after… Also, as a fellow contact lens wearer myself, I understand how you feel! I transitioned to daily disposable contact lenses several years ago, and if you’re not already using those, I would give those a try, as they tend to be thinner than the reusable contact lenses, much more comfortable, and much less drying to the eyes!.. Really loved the Hot Springs section! Decided to plan a fall vacation at a Hot Springs in the mountains near me, for a girls weekend of massage, facials, Hot Springs, and lots and lots of hikes and exploration! Also, love that you guys are using your reusable coffee cups!.. Lastly, yay about moving! Seems like it’s just a couple more weeks now and then that you close on your home, ehh?!! I know you’re going to be so ecstatic when you get in! Now you can finally get settled permanently into your new home base, and do whatever you want with your property. Fun times to come! Looking forward to your adventures!.. As always, thank you for the cozy and fun videos! Got to watch it after a fun day out with a friend, before bed, to wind down, and it was very relaxing and like a big heart hug :-)!

[@gsrekem]

Hi Carrie! I’m American and I was living in New Zealand last year. New Zealand sushi pick it yourself style is unique to NZ! I wish America had sushi to go places like NZ. Everyone has their favorite sushi spots in NZ and they’re so much fun. We really liked Sushi Bi in Wellington, also they give a discount after about 4pm and you can load up!

[@davidwoolley8157]

Kiwi living in Oz Pick your own Sushi is common in Australia too! Sushi tends to be most popular as a lunch option as most people seem to prefer hot meals for dinner esp in the cooler months

[@craigauckram1087]

With that new home, it's time to get all those lovely fruit trees, pruned and a spray plan worked out, I would suggest that you find someone to show you how or to do it for you, so that you can enjoy fresh fruit direct from the tree, enjoy.

[@The2cookiez]

I really enjoyed this vlog Carrie! It’s nice to see you guys just hanging out and doing your thing. Also the whole sushi thing - it’s funny because I’ve always thought of Sushi as being a lunch time food and you can still get sushi for dinner but it’s mostly at Japanese restaurants and not like a dedicated sushi place. And I don’t know why but I found you guys munching out on sushi highly entertaining!

[@alexhartley6809]

I absolutely loved watching this. I can't even explain what it is but everything about this was so so lovely and wholesome and funny and heartwarming, thank you!

Our mantra when driving in Scotland was “Wide right, tight left”. It seemed turning was our biggest problem. Driving straight was easy to get used to, but the turning….ha! Also Scotland has a ton of roundabouts as well! I feel ya!!

[@susanhammond2724]

Great video. So relaxing to watch. Those hot pools looked amazing and Hokey Pokey ice cream is one of my favourites.

[@pnchamp8618]

Hi Carrie, I live in Brisbane and for me and most of my friends we are used to is eating sushi for a late breakfast or lunch. Usually when eating out at a Japanese restaurant for dinner we would never order sushi. It is more likely that we would order a Raman etc. I think is NZ/AUS we see sushi as a convenient finger food to have on the go. Love your channel. Paul

[@queens6583]

Definitely clean the walls, baseboards and cabinetry to make the paint application clean and easy. No painting over old grime!

[@phillyalway]

The opening to this video is pure magic 💫🙏🏼

[@katherinescheuerman6447]

You two are seriously my favorite people ever! I LOVED this longer vlog and can’t wait to see your new chapter.

[@kimberlykristin2507]

So much fun following your journey. I’d clean before painting. You might even wash the walls before painting to remove any dust. If you’re painting in or near the kitchen, I’d definitely do that because cooking oil gets into the air and settles on walls.

[@alicehollamby1666]

I’d defiantly clean everywhere. Cause you’ll have to sugar scrub the walls anyway before you can paint cause amount of grease and grime in it x

[@PikachooUpYou]

Cold weather is actually less humid, its counterintuitive, so it’s drying. Everything needs moisturising in winter weather. You’re in the Asia/Oceania region now, so you’ll experience more asian consumer culture more often.

[@maggieluczak7314]

I am in the same boat with my eye sight! I haven't worn my contacts in so long because my eyes have been drying out to the point I can't blink without them feeling stuck. I did recently get prescription sunglasses, but I just don't wear them much. I find them hard to get used too! Anyway, I loved this vlog! Can't wait to see more of your adventures 🏡

[@amytomsick9409]

Great video, Carrie! I can relate to so much of what you covered in it. I’m an American married to a Kiwi & we relocated to NZ in 2017. I took a couple of driving lessons when I first got here, and had a great experience! My driving instructor helped me get used to driving on the other side of the road and helped me with the roundabouts too! After two lessons with him, I felt much more confident driving around NZ. Btw, your glasses look really nice on you! Take good care and congrats to you both on the new house! 💕

[@rollyrolly7729]

Those thermal pools are amazing you feel so good after. When in Taupo I go to the De Brett's pools. You can stand in them up to neck height like a swimming pool. Totally satisfying experience

[@KaraDaneDallas]

I agree deep clean first and then paint. The paint will make a mess but just a surface mess. All the times I have moved it is nice to know that you have given it a deep clean first. Haha aren't we lucky here to sometimes have all the seasons in one day ! Lovely vlog 🥰

[@CarrieRad]

That makes sense! Excited for the deep clean. 🙏

[@melaniecooper1760]

Hi, yeah sushi is more of a lunchtime thing in NZ. Maybe cause it's cold? Also if you need moving boxes I would recommend visiting a local appliance retailer (as they have larger sizes) and ask if you can take some from their cardboard recycling to use. That's what we do and it's easy as 👍

[@SY-cs8ok]

Yes, try Mitre10 for recycle boxes. They have heaps from stock coming in daily

[@angelap32]

Love u Carrie!! And ur hubby Alex ! Yes my eyes are dry too...they've gotten drier as soon as the plandemic hit as I work from home ...I've been wearing my glasses 98% of the time...I love to wear my contacts on occasion when I have to be out and about for the day...I hope the dry eyes get better...❤❤❤

[@ashleykorthals7111]

Also we are closing on our homestead next week so I’m excited to be on a similar journey as you!! Hopefully will get ideas with ours!

[@wolfffangs]

My partner moved here from the USA in 2019 and it took him about 8 months to be completely comfortable driving here, so that’s totally normal! For your contacts, I was an optician in the USA before coming back to NZ. Your new brand could be the wrong size, as all brands of contacts can have slightly different diameters. They also can limit the amount of tears you absorb, which can make your eyes feel dry. You can put a few drops of contact solution on your eyes, while wearing the contacts to rehydrate your eyes and contacts. If you are using other drops, don’t put them in while wearing contacts, unless they are designed for contacts- as they can dry out or tint your contacts. You can also get some good deals on contacts from overseas, my contact brand aren’t super popular here either but overseas are very common, I just get them imported and it costs around the same. Hope that helps, from one blind person to another ☺️💖

[@CarrieRad]

Thanks for that encouragement. It’s going to take time but practice helps. Thank you for this information about the glasses. I’m going to see what I can do. I saw they sell my brand online here!

[@aleishahazlewood5991]

I loved this video! I'd never really thought about why we have sushi here early in the day but I feel like it's to do with the perception of freshness - I won't buy sushi past 2pm anyway in case it's been sitting out for a while since it is the self-serve store. A lot of people grab sushi in the morning before work to pop in the fridge and eat at lunch too. And since it's such a common thing for lunch I don't feel like going out to dinner for sushi (just like I wouldn't go out to dinner for a sandwich), but I would go out for other Japanese meals like ramen or something else warm. Thanks for making such a cozy feeling video ❤ and you're totally brave learning to drive on the opposite side, that would really freak me out if I had to do so.

[@craigmactak1839]

Concerning the Sushi. Fish and seafood is fresh first thing in the morning. The shops get their stock from the markets before dawn because the catch comes in early, usually 4am. So it's best to eat fresh sushi during the day, usually lunchtime.

[@mandyabusahliya2660]

Why are you doing this to me 😭 I was trying to watch something in the background while working but I couldn’t get my eyes off the screen. This was so beautiful and cozy 😍😍😍 and that intro was just wow ❤️ Thank you for such soul calming videos!

[@Bellenickna]

Ur going to our sushi takeout places. In Wellington u have a sushi train place and a few proper japanese sushi, saki and yakatori places and lots of the takeaway places like featured here. Its like fastfood sushi for the masses but mainly the 9-5 people. Like our bakeries. I have a favorite place in town that i need to try and remember the name for that is a little hidden but just amazing and they always stop to greet u so kindly when u arrive and remember u after a while and have ur saki ready and everything. I love the japanese people.

Ummm I’m only 55 seconds in and I blown away by the editing, my jaw has hit the floor

[@LivReader]

I had -5 and -5.25 prescription prior to getting laser and had worn lenses pretty much exclusively from age 13-25. I went to get my surgery and on the day they refused me because the surgeon said I had damaged my eyes too much with years of lenses which didn't let oxygen through well! I was told to strictly wear glasses for a year (and to wear daily lenses if an event I absolutely had to wear lenses for) and then my eyes were healthy enough for surgery! Glad you're being mindful of this! Would definitely recommend getting prescription sunnies especially as you head into spring/summer!

[@shannonwall4855]

Hi Carrie! There are so many brands of contacts, you may just need to trial a different kind! For dry eyes you should ask about a brand with a high water content. Good luck! 💕

Feel you with the eye problems girl! Except my eyes are sooo sensitive that I could never even wear contacts. Was sick of not being able to see properly, could never enjoy things like scuba diving etc. Never thought I’d be brave enough to do LASIK but oh man, life changing. 100% recommend and would do it again 10x over for the same result. Super fast and nowhere near as bad as you imagine. Went to the Eye Institute in Auckland, would recommend just going for the free consult to see if it’s an option you could consider in the future! 🙃

[@calielizabeth4714]

Someone may have mentioned this already, but as far as the sushi goes, in Japan sushi is common for take out and can be purchased almost anywhere, because fresh fish is so easily accessed. Unlike in the US, sushi in Japan can be eaten for any meal of the day, including breakfast. I'm guessing its similar in New Zealand because fish is such a large part of the diet there. In the US sushi has been very "Americanized" as a fancy, expensive meal with lots of sauces and flavors added, so it's different here and not as traditional!

[@clp1705]

Great vlog! I can’t wait to see you guys settle into the property and all the visits to Mitre10! 😍 Sushi is definitely a lunch option here, I think because it’s a cold dish. People do out out for Teppanyaki and Ramen in the evenings though!

Ahhhh I can relate to dry eye! I ended up switching to dailies from 2 weekly, but I also have astigmatism in 1 eye so it's more expensive. So I basically wear glasses fulltime now and contacts for occasions. So I have prescription sunnies to be able to get by. And yes! Sushi is more of a lunchtime food here! Places like St. Pierre's Sushi close around 8pm.

[@conbro53]

Hi Carrie I have also had problems with dry and sore eyes. The problem was my wood burning fireplace. Please read the instruction pamphlet that goes with the burner very carefully, it is very important to burn the fire correctly otherwise the air in your living room is very toxic. I hope this helps, cheers.

[@CarrieRad]

Oh wow. This is really interesting. My eyes are still hurting a bit and I talked to my doctor about it yesterday. I’m going to look into this straight away. How toxic are we talking and did your eyes get better? 😥 This is such helpful information. Thank you so much.

[@conbro53]

@@CarrieRadI read an article on the negative health effects of wood heaters on asthmatics. I had been experiencing dry itchy sore eyes and mild asthma for sometime. We stopped using the fire for a week and my symptoms went away, they returned again when we lit the fire again. It is also very important that you use the heater properly, to burn the fire efficiently and safely, never operate it with the door open which allows the smoke particles to enter the room. We now use our split system air con and run it on solar, it is much better for the environment and our health. Unfortunately we miss the homely fire although we still light it occasionally. A fire pit outside maybe a good compromise at your new house. Best of luck with it all.

Sushi is eaten more for lunch here because its easy to eat on the go and we like hot dinners here not cold sushi. We have Japanese restaurants that people go to dinner at which you can get sushi at but usually we order hot items.

[@kiya12309]

You are so right that people who have good eyes should really appreciate it. First off, how cool to just be able to wake up and see perfectly without any assistance. I don't think people who have always had that truly understand how great it is. Not only is it a hassle to have bad eyes (a fairly small hassle, but a hassle just the same), it's a significant expense over a lifetime to buy contacts/glasses and have yearly exams (especially in the US where eye exams are often not covered under medical insurance). I always think about getting Lasik when I can reasonably afford it because ultimately it would probably be such a big cost-saver for me in the long run. I often think the same about people who have good vs bad teeth.

(Btw you look great in glasses!!). Finally, switching to daily wear contacts helped….but also not cheap! Good luck!

Hi Carrie & Alex, congrats on your house purchase - VERY exciting!

[@dinalubin6498]

5 tbsp sugar mixed with 2 tbsp of corn syrup over medium heat, stir constantly for about 5.5 -6 minutes, then add 1/2 tsp baking soda and keep stirring fast.. quickly pour the mixture over a piece of parchment paper (spray with Pam first). Make sure you quickly spread the mixture on the paper so it’s fairly thin. Let it sit for about 1/2 hour or longer. I like to then fold the parchment paper and roll it, to break the toffee into small pieces. Pour it over vanilla ice cream and voila! It’s delicious. I take the little toffee bits and put them in a small plastic container so that I can grab a little handful and mix it into a bowl of ice cream or fro yo as a snack. 💗

Sushi places in nz are NOTORIOUS for always being closed, some of them are closed on the most random days/hours. The only reliable place is St pierres which is a chain and theyre open every day until like 6ish I think. But here sushi is most common for lunch, I dont really know why they open so early, I almost feel like its so people can grab it on their way to work to have for lunch? Idk, I wouldnt consider it common to have sushi for breakfast in nz. But for dinners you would go to a japanese restaurant, they often will still serve sushi, but have their main meals as donburis and ramen etc
