[@cheeseandsprinkles77]

if you were planning on getting matching towels, donate your old ones to animal shelters in the area!!

[@sarahhawkinson]

love this idea thank you!!

[@cholder824]

Pepe’s like “did you say hallucinogenic? Sign me up!” Love that Thanksgiving turkey boy 🧡

[@InvisibleHiccup]

Here's the color scheme/ aesthetic i envision for you: 70's Goth, orange, mustard charcoal and black as your color scheme, and touches of warm colored wood

[@sarahhawkinson]

um yes exactly omg

[@graycl0ud]

your hair looks so good in this videoo

[@underhypedandoverrated]

I needed long shower curtains in my apartment. Instead of long shower curtains, we bought two extra sets of shower rings and linked them to add a few inches to the curtain.

[@tiny.raindrops]

I had the same problem, I just got a cheap retractable one and put it underneath the one that was already installed 😅

[@baleek4367]

That’s actually really smart !

[@amilyrock]

Two videos in one day. What better way to procrastinate from my homework than watching your videos.

[@Nutritionbypaolao]

Hahah same!!

[@sammijean18]

i’m obsessed with ur hair color

[@baleek4367]

Same

[@Taylorschahn444]

This is random and unrelated, but can you do an updated haircare routine? I'm recovering from autoimmune related hair loss and I need some tips. 🙏 Your apartment looks so nice and roomy. So glad you finally got your wood floors!

[@jaredarola8877]

Hi! Houseplant enthusiast here, when you repot your spider plant, leave some space between the top of soil level and top of pot (about 1-2 inches), as their roots will get think and fleshy, causing them to slowly force the plant out of the pot and need to repot more often. And I would recommend setting it higher up cause they will send out shoots that will drape further down over the pot and can grow 1-2 feet long and grow new baby spider plants on them (which you can cut off and repot once you see roots growing on them). Hope this helps🥰🥰 excited for your houseplant journey!! Also Philodendrons are great low light, easy growing plants that you can forget to water for a couple weeks and they’ll still (usually) stay alive. They are a vining plant that would look super cute on your bookshelves when you get them or as a hanging basket☺️☺️

[@causemyinsanity]

The new apartment looks so cute already I’m so excited for you guys 🖤

[@nicolaspaulien4173]

Happy New year you l wish you happiness kisses 💖💖

[@iiswansongii]

I put terra cota plant pots on my white window sill and happened to move them one day and noticed black rings. Here the terra cota is porous yes but I think that was mold starting so I had to put clear wipable shelf liners underneath so fyi to prevent that happening to you:)

[@camrynjordan8328]

Fittonias are my FAVORITE non-toxic low light plants!!!! They're super dramatic plants that completely wilt once their soil gets dry and pop back up completely within 12 hours!! So pretty and easy to take care of!!

[@em_harring]

re: houseplants: ferns love humidity and will crisp up so quickly in a dry/drafty place. If you happen to have a window in the bathroom it would love it in there. As people have said, philodendrons or pothos are great low light plants, but they are mildly toxic. You could try getting Pepe cat grass so he has his own little plant, and that might deter him from other plants. That's currently what I'm doing with my kitten and it seems to be working. You could also try a peperomia obtusifolia (not the variegated kind), african violets, and any calathea (though they will need extra humidity as well).

[@greenplantgrrl]

so excited to see how you're new space turns out! a plant tip for you is to bottom water your plants, which you can easily do by keeping the plant in the plastic nursery pot it came in and then put that plastic pot in the terracotta pot and water it directly into the teracotta pot slowly and little by little you can put water in the terracotta pot and then watch the plant drink as much as it needs and keep going until its drinking less water / not absorbing the water as much. thats my go to when i have pots that are too big for my plants and im waiting to repot them but also easy for beginners

[@w.m.8126]

Cat-safe and indirect light plant recommendations: Tillandsia varieties (common name: Air plants), Nephrolepis exaltata (common name: Boston fern), Hoya carnosa (common name: Wax plant), Maranta leuconeura (common name: Prayer plant), Schlumbergera (common name: Christmas Cactus), Calathea lancifolia (common name: Rattlesnake plant), and Asplenium nidus (common name: Bird's nest fern). There's plenty more and some in the list may be more flexible on light amount, but generally if you have questions on plant care don't be afraid to ask employees at your local plant nursery. Plant nerds love plant questions and may even give some great ideas.

[@stefuhneexo]

If I sleep in dead silence I will literally stay wide awake for HOURS. I have to have a fan on and something on tv. I usually pick sitcoms I've seen a million times because they're comforting.

[@sasylein]

You could use lights specifically made for indoor plant growing, we bought some second hand for a few bucks, it really helps!

[@brianagonzalez5854]

Some plants that will do pretty well in your new place can be a zz plant, pothos, snake plants, and calatheas (as long as you make it humid enough for them). I've been watching you for a couple of years!! the place is coming along nicely!!

[@chillytoes1]

sarah, im just so happy for you, hearing how crappy your old place was broke my heart, you guys deserve better. congratz!!

[@smasheduppumpkinette]

Shower curtain- buy a tension shower rod so you can use your existing/ standard length shower curtains. Mis match towels. If they are still in ok condition you could dye them with machine dye. I’ve don’t it before and although they didn’t all come out the exact same shade (we used grey dye for one set and purple for the other set), they did look good together as they were all different shades of the same colours.

[@emmaberger3748]

Watching this while doing dishes is a big mood

[@slightlycrummy]

Plants that I own and love that are safe for cats: Burro's Tail Calathea (does well in lower light and prayer plants are always fun) a lot of succulent type plants are safe but don't do super well in lower light. My Haworthia's don't tend to stretch all that much in bright, indirect light though! Hoya (most, if not all, are non-toxic I believe) Money Tree I mean there are a TON you can get. I don't currently have cats, but I used to have 3 indoor cats and I had a long rectangular planter that I planted a bunch of cat grass in and kept it accessible to the cats. I also occasionally grew catnip and other herbs that were cat safe. I think giving them easily accessible planty stuff kept their attention away from the harder to reach plants

[@allyji96]

Also, I HATE(!!!) noise at night... that machine would not be great for me, I sometimes have to sleep with earplugs. I love that pot though! I'm going to get one myself when I finally move. 🖤

[@rocioiribe5841]

i'm the same. no noise!

[@samh7206]

Omg I love noise, no one could handle my dogs snoring and It always made me sleep better (but now I have screaming roomates and I cant say I like that when I sleep)

[@MariahRose1]

my townhouse is silent at night but I get woken up to the remodeling getting done on the unit next door ): i need quiet

[@mskedizzy]

I'm looking at moving and upgrading apartments as well and this is just the inspiration I needed 💕 it is nice to hear someone else going through the same kind of hardships when upgrading. At this point our complex has become a strong source of anxiety and I'm ready for a fresh start too!

[@linisnotreal1120]

i absolutely adore videos like this

[@dreadreaundrea]

So excited to see your apartment come together!!

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

10:57 That smile when talking about your favourite knife is so relatable.

[@cami632]

I forgot to comment on your closet organization video but you give me a lot of inspo and ideas for decoring my space, such as the salt lamp, and plants, even tho this is your first time with real plants... when I watched your videos like in 2016, I though yours was real, so, when I moved, I start getting into indoor plants because of you hahaahah And ofc you teach me how to bring warm to a room with textures and colors. So, basically Im so thankful and I have no doubt that your new place is gonna look so cozy and pretty. I cant esit for that apartment tour. 💜😽

[@haunted_pages]

“Fake life”🤣🪴 Congrats on the new apartment. Super excited to continue to follow along with all the decorating!

[@_Sapph_]

Looking forward to a possible thrifting home decor haul!

[@heatherfunnell668]

I love my sleep noise machine! I've been using it for 12 years.

[@lindseykrow]

I just bought my first house and I need all the storage and decor ideas! Please give us more of these videos!!!

[@brittneyzapor]

you can get UV bulbs for your plants! I have some that are hooked up to smart sockets so they turn on and off on a schedule.

[@shannonleigh10]

I bought those cute little fake plants from Target too! I love them! I cannot keep real plants alive. The new place is coming together so well! 😍🙌

[@wandaaufderspringe2102]

I love all of these videos. Always nice to watch what you bought r how you organize/decorate your house and things

[@alltherad123]

My dog has has this lil baby snore and breathes suuuper deep when he sleeps and the noise helps me fall asleep. When I was a kid I used to put a CD of rainforest noises on to sleep to lol

[@royalhorror]

Seeing Ikea / similar shops hauls is like the best thing in the world lmaoo . Loving it

[@ginaluzi]

peperomia plants are great non toxic plants and most are low maintenance! and there’s soo many different types

[@baleek4367]

I would LOVE to see videos of you trying out Instant Pot recipes ! I have one and I’m always looking for new recipes to try out

[@sailb0atscream]

I'm renovating a cottage & I'm loving these videos 🥰

[@natalieharding5463]

All those frames look awesome on you! And I love the cat interruptions and seeing them in the background of videos 🐾

[@Kimilita1001]

You neeeed Calathea Plants😍 they can be a little finicky but I think you gone love them. There are so many varieties and you can usually find some big ones that are cheap at IKEA. Totally pet friendly. Pepperomia are also nice. 🪴🌱

[@CatzMarina]

Moving vlogs are so exciting to me! I can't wait to see the final result 😁 are you planning on doing an apartment tour once everything is sorted out?

[@applecrave1097]

If you want non perishable greenery, there is moss that requires no maintenance, i think, it's something I'll look into. But I once saw it being made into a square wall decoration, for a tiny apartment renovation, in order to bring a bit of life to it.

[@raissalbuquerque]

sarah, the apartment is looking great! i’m living for this content tbh ♥️

[@RainyDayWolf]

You can get grow lights and get any plant... But for low light pothos or snake plants...

[@cathymoore6321]

I can't wait to see how you decorate the new place for Halloween. Lol. That was the first thing I thought when you moved.

[@TP-je7eh]

Peperomias are safe for kitties and easy to grow, some versions do not require lots of light, Ginny peperomia is a great example of an easy safe low light plant.

[@misaexner1037]

Marantha - actually hates sunlight and is a super beautiful plant! I have them in the darkest room and they love it!! Also I recommend Planterina channel for plant advice and other recommendations :)))

[@SunxAway]

You're gorgeous Sarah! Your hair is amazing!!!

[@amyelizabethweafer]

For your plants you could invest in some grow lights so that you can have a few more plants. Snake plants are very hardy and low light tolerant but they would need to be in the window or under a grow light 💡🌱

[@emilioj22]

I’m finally moving into my first place this Friday!! Im so happy! I was almost homeless last year after family shit happening. (Got into an argument with my moms transphobic racist bf and I called him out after making rude comments to me all the time) Anyway. Now I can be my full enby, witchy, gay self I can’t have my kitty sadly but he’s going to stay with my grandpa still.

congrats! I was almost homeless too and it took my 5 years to get on my feet from 17 to 22. It feels soooo good when you finally get to where you want to be in life. You will be so happy and feel so safe in your own home.

[@evandye1045]

pathos are great for low light and super easy to take care of. they are toxic to cats I believe but they're easy to keep up high and my cat never seems interested in them anyway !! can't wait to see the place all put together

[@laurenT93.]

I had an apartment with a really tall rod too! A normal window curtain with a good, thick shower liner worked for me and you couldn’t even tell it wasn’t a “real” shower curtain plus the options were endless :) loving your new apartment series and seeing you so excited!

[@djunaskye6220]

Can't sleep without some kind of white noise either. I use a white noise app on my phone that I play through my google home, brown noise used to be my favorite but now I listen to white noise mixed with air noise! It helps a lot for tinnitus, anxiety, and also drowning out annoying noises like snoring family members 😅

[@ikatibearr]

I have a spider plant!!! I've had that baby for 7+ years, it lived in a basement for a long time. Mine actually don't like direct sunlight 🤣

[@avabobava]

Barkeepers Friend is the best product for cleaning quartz

[@swilkes2237]

sansaveria or snake plant.. are amazing house plants not only are they big and beautiful but they are very forgiving and almost impossible to kill! They are perfect for new plant parents; don't need a lot of light and need little water as well! I'm not 100% on the affects it may have of cats though.. Loving these apartment hauls and decorating vlogs. So happy for y'alls new home!!

[@willes2735]

They are toxic but I don't think the leaves are that enticing to cats, but it depends on the cats. Our cats only try to eat plants that have leaves that are more grass like so they leave our snake plant alone.

[@julzruin]

I did enjoy! Thank you for sharing the lectrofan! Been looking for one :)

[@ety3296]

I'm just so happy that you uploaded 2 videos in one day!!! Hahaha anyway, want to send you kisses and hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷❤

[@mynameis999]

Brown noise for the win!

[@magpielvira]

places like society6 make such long curtains so i’ve never been able to buy them, but you should/could totally search imagery you like and find a shower curtain version of it 🥰

[@hhleannem5237]

Highly recommend a Boston Fern (non toxic). They don't like a lot of sunlight---very minimal or they can get sunburnt and they're very hardy in regards to temp and if you're not great with plants. lol My cat attacks mine and it still lives.

[@cizentotue]

you seem so excited since you moved so nice to see you happy like this!!

[@reedthibaudeau6632]

baby rubber plants are super cool, non-toxic, and don't need a lot of light

[@lisasfrankenstein]

I think my favorite pair of those glasses of yours is the "butler" ones

[@jensmith5849]

I needed an extra long and extra wide shower curtain and liner. I found them both at Walmart for a really good price and was surprised.

[@heheheidy]

I am so excited for all of the upcoming apartment videos! I moved into a new apartment just recently in December so the timing is perfect. I’m slowly getting furniture pieces as I go, so this is the most perfect inspiration! I completely understand wanting to warm up a “cold” apartment cause that’s what I’m trying to do too!

we’ve used that exact sound machine for our baby & it’s amazing!

[@Steph568]

Loving all of the new apartment content!!!💕🤗

[@byg0lly]

My favorite plant right now is the basic philodendron, I find the heart shaped leaves so cute and it is chill in lower light but I have mine in shady window. Also syngodiums love lowlight and are pretty cool lookin.

[@gio_graphy]

For good budget/minimalistic kitchen items, I would recommend getting the Cook n Home Wok ($24). I own three of them lol Great for stir frying, deep frying and Ive even used it for boiling water! Great multi use pan. For a knife I would recommend the Mercer Nakiri ($18), its a vegetable knife but its ESPECIALLY good for cutting potatoes and you'll have more control than with a more narrow chefs knife :)

Just a heads up cats love spider plants! So keep yours up somewhere your cat can't reach. Side note it gets them high I think that's why they love it xD

[@destinyhawkins1155]

[@iutgu]

I have a cat that loves to eat plants too. Money trees, pygmy date palms (can get a good sized one at Home Depot for $15), African violets, and different types of ferns are all non toxic and do well in my house without direct sunlight.

[@StephyLynn]

I have to sleep with a fan. I've tried fan noise machines and they just don't work for me.
