I like how you really know what you want, and how you are fearless when you go about getting it. No matter what you encounter, you are always classy❤❤❤

Leave the zippers and buttons undone when washing! I used to work in a restaurant with strict dress code involving buttons, and having to wash restaurant food off clothes every night for a decade, you learn that the strain of washing clothes can stress buttons and zippers, and lead to weak fabric and tearing. 👍🏻❤️

New Yorker here, born and raised! Here are some of my recommendations for seeing the city during the holidays. 1. The subway is your friend. Learn it, utilize it. It's the easiest way to get around. Don't be afraid to ask for directions. The natives will be wearing all black and will have earbuds/headphones in. 2. My favorite holiday market is in Bryant Park. They have ice skating, music, plenty of food and shopping. Don't go to Union Square, too crowded and full of people you don't want to be around. 3. Layer up, it can get really really cold. We call it "brick". 4. All the food is good. Everything. Only the touristy spots actually kind of suck. A lot of small local spots are cash only. 5. Don't be afraid to venture out to Brooklyn or Queens. That's the real New York.

[@RachelVinn]

thank you!!! what activities do you recommend?

[@Katd16]

@@RachelVinn Depends on what you guys are into and what your budget is because this city can be very expensive. But I recommend: - Long Island City for the views of Manhattan, it's a newer neighborhood with great restaurants. - 9/11 memorial and the pools, along with the rest of Downtown is very nice by the water. - For museums, my favorites are the American Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). - Iconic NY food, bagels and pizza. I recommend Brooklyn Bagel on West 24th street and John's on Bleecker. - Central Park is definitely really nice and it's kept up with maintenance so def go if you are up for walking around a lot. Just don't go at night because it can get a little sketchy. Honestly, while growing up here I would just walk around everywhere and see what I could find that's interesting. What makes this city great is there's always something to do. If you walk by something and it makes you stop and look, go and check it out. There are so many hidden gems that I don't even know about after 26 years. Feel free to DM if you want more guidance or advice. 👍

The plant is a monstera. It’s a baby at the moment but as it grows it will start to have split leaves and what not. I highly recommend having a weekly menu planned out to help with grocery costs. Great video.

[@meghanlentschke3054]

“Working in the kitchen is so hard” - I feel this to my core!!!! 🤣

We vacuum our cloth couch once a week and we have blankets on the couch too for our two cats which helps A LOT with their fur 🤗

[@RavennWhite]

can you please put out more grocery content? like shopping lists, hauls, how you meal plan or sth. sounds weird but groceries are like 80% of my spending and i see you struggle with overspending on grocery shopping too. you also mentioned that you learned some tips on smart shopping?

Watching this on Monday morning, so I'm glad your schedule worked out! 😂❤️ Monthly resets always help me keep my head straight as far as yardwork and deep cleaning, but most of the general cleaning (including vacuuming my couch) we do once a week.

Did my reset yesterday! Also, I feel like your lunch items are for two people if you added ALL the lunch meat and bread etc., so it would be $50 for 10 lunches! So $5 a lunch :)

I too vacuum our cloth couches at least once a week, but that’s because we have two cats. If it wasn’t for them I don’t know if I ever would 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@dikshaphale1199]

10:33 generally our couch is vacuumed once a month that's because we don't have any pet n therefore no hair on the couch . We have a cloth couch.

Frankly speaking, I never subscribe any cannel, but as you want to increase the number of your subscribers I just hit that bottom. I always watch your videos, you are a great person.

Try grocery shopping in budget friendly stores such as Walmart and ALDI :) I spend $50 on lunches/dinner a week on grocery’s just to up keep our fridge and has saved my husband and I from eat out a lot throughout the week.

[@beautyescape_cz]

If I think about vacuuming/cleaning the couch.. I have a cloth-like couch, I don't have a pet (would like to have a cat in near future though), I live in an apartment all alone and I usually vacuum/clean the couch once a week when I do my major vacuum of the apartment. It's a habit for me, I don't do it for whatever reasons, just because I know I sit there, I eat there and do all sorts of things, so it works for me this way. And the best thing though is to vacuum everywhere and 10 minutes after that to knock over a bag of something and have to vacuum all over again :D Besides that -- I LOVE this kind of videos ♥ It always helps me to get motivated to organise my own life, so it's always a win-win situation :D

[@beautyescape_cz]

Oh and please, could you leave a short review about the Dyson hoover? I heard some mixed reviews for it to not be as powerful to tackle some heavy dutier vacuuming (e.g. cat hair), so I really don't want to trow away money in the future for something that doesn't work..

[@KitKat-ve2em]

Love my Dyson. I put a few drops of essential oil in the filter and when I fire up the Dyson the house starts to smell like the oil, but I have no idea if it messes the vacuum up 🙈

[@reginaumadhay-mcdonald4784]

I really like the Dyson vacuum. I almost got one at Walmart the other day because I wasn't sure, but now I will definitely get one. Since I have pets too, I feel this will help with some of the pet hair. Also, where is your little kitten?

[@RachelVinn]

We found her a home :) and yessss dyson is so worth it! It makes vacuuming less of a chore

[@bpal5644]

I would eat out if it was equivalent in cost. In New Zealand it’s most definitely not equivalent to a grocery shop which is why I never eat out.

Random, but don't use table salt!! That stuff is super bad for you. Try using the Himalayan pink salt or Celtic salt .🖤
