Yummy looking pie 🥧

I only saw a few seconds but DC looks nice and walkable. Hope you are enjoying exploring 💙

[@VooDooSue]

Slippers. From LL Bean are my favorites. They are legit called "wicked good" slippers. Good fur and nice sole.

[@deliciouslyme6206]

Fingers crossed everything sorts out asap! I'm sure it will all fall into place perfectly, but I hate that part of getting a place too. I'm in the process of finding a place too. I'm freelance too and it's hard to be accepted unless I pay months in advance or have a guarantor and these days I have none!

[@rainbow616]

Hey Rachel, I would love to see more baking/cooking in your vlogs. 🤗 🥧🌸

[@rachelleea]

Definitely more to come when I get my new mixer 💙💙

[@jenniferwright2855]

Fantastic to hear and hopefully by now you got the information you were seeking. Can't wait to see the next videos on your apartment progress. ✨️🙏

[@rachelleea]

Thank you so much 🩷🩷

[@barbarapig6548]

I´m loving your new thumbnails, can you show us how to make them? please

[@Arleen1010]

Hope everything works out for you quickly. I know it can be fustrating. Have a great weekend. Look forward to seeing your new place.

[@knitwitchcraftingpodcast]

i'm glad you've found an apartment you like!

[@Linda-wn9ul]

Try going to the local library and asking for help. They sometimes have people that can help point you in the right direction to get paperwork and documents that you need.

[@rachelleea]

Thanks, thats really handy to know 🧡💛

[@zeynepilhan6978]

Fingers crossed you’ll get that apartment 🧡

[@rachelleea]

Congrats on your new apartment!🎉🎉❤❤ Yay,another video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@narutosd8178]

Love it so much

[@Mckee4055]

My Uggs are great slippers. Perhaps too predictable of a choice. I also have a really nice pair with shearling-type lining from Roots. I purchased them at a store in the GTA when you head there.

[@missylouise321]

Welcome to the USA!!! If you buy Target stuff, try the Casaluna brand for bedding. They're so comfy!!! Threshold is pretty good too but the bedding with that brand isn't as nice in my opinion. I'm also the person who's spent entirely too much at Target so...don't judge lol!

[@rachelleea]

Thanks so much, thats super helpful to know. I think I might become addicted to Target myself 😁😁

[@Deborahsantalucia]

Hey Rachel good luck with the appointment hunting can’t wait to see your new place thank for sharing the shopping that was lovely ❤ x

[@rachelleea]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@IshraqAhmedJamaluddin]

Honey I'm so happy for you ❤❤ Enjoy the new place ❤

[@rachelleea]

Thank you!! 🩵🩵🩵

[@anndipasquale2487]

You said you would be returning to Toronto to get your stuff, will you be using your beautiful decorations from your other apartment, you have a great sense of style. No doubt your next apartment will look just as great.

[@rachelleea]

thank you and yep, hopefully will head to Toronto at the end of the month and will be able to start decorating. I'll need some new things though as I did sell most furniture but I still have a lot of decor/flowers and kitchen stuff

[@CaylaBacho]

It's great that there are channels that can turn an ordinary day into a real holiday! Thank you for your contribution to our well-being! 🎉

[@cloudlessmind888]

Hi Rachael. Since you love Catan so much, you probably know about the expansion packs. The Cities and Knights add-on is great & adds several new mechanics and twists to the game, changing the core gameplay in interesting ways. I hope you get news soon. Its always such a process when you move. When I moved from Toronto to LA, my employer handled everything. I can’t imagine doing it myself! So kudos to you 🎉 pretty soon, things will be in place 😊

[@rachelleea]

thanks so much, I've tried cities and knights once and I really quite liked it, so much more depth. ❤️❤️

[@meganflemings4727]

Hi there! I'd recommend bearpaw slippers! They are sturdy and super comfortable

[@rachelleea]

Thanks so much 🩷🧡💛

[@ninok606]

Congratulations on the new chapter in your life!! Moving to the states and your new apartment! So excited for you! P. S. Before I forget, marshalls sells usb rechargeable lighters now, I use it to light candles, so much easier and reusable. Just fyi:)

[@Sarah-Katsandres]

You’ll have to go to the Board Room in DuPont! It’s a fun bar with board games!

[@rachelleea]

omg that sounds amazing, thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@knitwitchcraftingpodcast]

omg i love that place!!

[@aidatulhjr]

Rachel i need your help!!! I have been watching your content for yearssssss and I enjoyed it very much. Now, i am quitting my job and about to move out of state in 3 months. What should i doooo? Can you share what to do first next and so forth? 😅😅

[@lindaholm9801]

So glad to see you're starting to get set up there and and I'm enjoying seeing the sites along with you! Curious to know what the rental market is like there? Is it competitive? Still such high demand for rentals properties in Melbourne, and you can get 30-40 people at property inspections. Good luck with your application 😃🌷💖

[@rachelleea]

Its not competitive at all. Theres hundreds of apartments available in a few block radius, lots of new builds which is nice. Makes it a little less stressful when going through the process. Thank you 💖💖

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

I go through slippers insanely fast… I also need to wear insoles in most of them because of my plantar fasciitis so when they go flat they hurt like hell. If you find a good cushiony one that lasts, let us know!

[@nettebudgets]

Love all your videos! Really needed to watch one of your videos as I was also feeling stressed but after watching it I feel completely relaxed. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I hope you get all the things soon and get your answers. 🤗

[@susanleech8064]

Awesome! thanks for sharing x

[@stephaniex8776]

Nice vlog

[@zil1995]

Hi Rachel, where are your typical white cleaning socks ? 😁😊

[@HGills]

I’m surprised the rental market is so soft, finding an apartment in NYC or LA is like an episode of The Hunger Games - it’s so hard to secure an apartment, you pretty much have to have the application filled in and lodge it in the spot and even then chances are slim. Start building credit score now - get a US credit card to help (assuming your good at managing cc debt and paying the balance in full each month)

[@rachelleea]

Theres so many new builds and hundreds of apartments available in a few block radius which is kind of nice, less stressful when looking. Will get a cc as soon as I get my social security, hopefully this week 💖💖

[@sarahmy]

Hi Rachel, I have an Amazon slipper 🥿 recommendation but it won't let me post the link or even the name? Look for some with bottoms that are more like shoes so they don't go flat; mine are from the brand COFACE and they're fluffy on top but rubber on the bottom 🩵

[@RachelZone8b]

I love Catan

[@rachelleea]

its the best hey 🩷💛🥰

[@tiffanymichelle8412]

You didn’t need the sugar because you used condensed instead of evaporated milk as the recipe calls for. Would have been gross if there was no sugar and just evaporated milk so I guess it was a good mix up!

[@rachelleea]

Exactly, it seemed like a better alternative than the cup of sugar and a can of evaporated milk 💛💛

[@ElleNaturally]

Ok I love the black button-up cardigan that you’re wearing. Can you let us know where it’s from? 🖤🖤

[@rachelleea]

Its cute hey, I got it from Portmans when I was in Melbourne. Comes in a few different colours :)

[@ElleNaturally]

@@rachelleea 💙💜 it’s the buttons that make it adorable!!

[@i5263sweets]

Hi I was wondering if you can say the credit system Veda in Australia? Well you got an apartment in Canada so reference there I’m sure you’ll get it approved.

[@krishnadesai2553]

Where is the clothes hanger from you use?

[@ItsKingMyles]

i need rachels guide to catan so i can beat my friends.

[@rachelleea]

I've come to learn the only way you'll win in regular catan is development cards. You'll need to get longest road or strongest army to win. Maybe by chance you can win without them but I feel thats the only way. Also hold off getting points early if you can. People will attack you. Let them attack someone else and come in near the end and start getting all the points 🩷🩷

If you want some great resources for American Credit and all that then highly reccomend looking at Tori Dunlap's socials, her book and podcast. She is Financial Feminist. Changed my life.

[@rachelleea]

Oh thats awesome, thank you so much. I'll definitely look into her. Thats so handy thank you

[@joiecheng1972]

you can live in this place of your boyfriend, it’s a lovely house why can’t you be bothered to rent another one

[@rachelleea]

Theres a few reasons. Its too small. It looks big but theres no storage, he can't even fit all his belongings into the cupboards, theres no room for my stuff. The other reason is I want to live alone for a little longer to settle into my new DC life with a bit more independence, we'll move in together eventually

[@joiecheng1972]

@@rachelleea Sounds a good plan, Rachel. Wish you can find a new apartment soon😊

[@lanamichalski3208]

Yeah, sure....doesn't everyone prioritize making a pie upon moving into an apartment?

[@rachelleea]

well yeah when you have nothing else to do. I'm just waiting, mentioned that in the middle of the video 🥰🩷
