ORGANIZING my apartment *begins* (VLOG) laundry routine & books I can't stop thinking about

[@TottiShares]

I love this video but I wanted to point out that the best before date doesn't mean you need to throw it out afterwards. It's "best before" not "deadly after". Look at it, smell it, taste it, and if it's fine, yiu can mostly eat it (especially when frozen or stuff with a high sugar content)

[@anniepantheraleo]

I'm having a similar 'February is the new January' experience - I also didn't put pressure on myself and I think it's paying off :)

Pro bed-making tip: When putting on the bottom - fitted - sheet, start with opposite corners. This technique stretches the sheet out and makes it easier to gets the sheet smooth and wrinkle-free.

One thing that helps me keep learning is that we formed a book club at work, to read books related to engineering. We read a couple chapters at a time and discuss them biweekly. It’s led to some really great conversations, and I get to learn both from the book and my colleagues. I think you mentioned you read books with your family? I think that’s so great, I would love to do something similar with my sisters.

[@itaaish]

okay but the stasher bag in the freezer is genius and I will be stealing the idea

[@annal8043]

Your videos are literally so inspiring! They make me feel seen as I can relate to so many things you talk about!

[@judithschwarz6615]

I just wish you’d put out a new video everyday 😅 you’re definitely my comfort content creater! Maybe you need something (plant) more drape-y for the shelves? From the first to the second or on the second one draping down? 🤗

I love learning new things! Every month I learn one new thing and do one new thing. Last month I did Veganuary and made a lot of new vegan recipes, and I learned all about teas by reading, watching KZbin videos and trying a new tea every day. This month I am doing junk journaling and learning how to hand letter. Next month is a deep dive into mushrooms…trying to grow and reading books (Entagled Life) and a documentary Fantastic Fungi.

[@kinipela7786]

I like how you rearranged the shelves 😊

[@CeeLeeLEMT]

Agree with TrueFriendsAreAGift check your library for cool stuff, Vancouver's Public Library also has lots of interesting offerings in multiple categories and sends out a newsletter so I don't even have to search for events. The best organizing thing I started doing was to write on the jars, bags, etc what the expiry date was. Now when I look into the fridge/freezer, I can easily see when something expires - without having to struggle with the tiny print, or the random locations the manufacture uses for the expiry date. It is a small kitchen so the utility drawer is right beside the fridge/freezer, and that is where the marker lives.

Yes!!! Thank you for recommending non-fiction books!! Loving these so much that I already ordered them. Keep them coming! 😄😄😄

[@ThePaperbackFairy]

I get so many great non-fiction book recs from you 🙌🏻

[@paulawillmore6299]

I incorporate non fiction reading as part of my morning routine. Dishwasher empty, big glass of lemon water, drink a protein shake then read for 30 mins then workout. Sounds like a huge faff but honestly the best way to start a day. Also added in a cold plunge so currently reading Wim Hoff

[@natsmyspace]

Love your organisation and productivity! ❤

[@kristysanchez2906]

You are so well spoken and just so smart, I love listening to your take on pretty much everything!

[@TheSeatedView]

I've been doing a soft launch of the year, as well, and I think it's actually a more effective way to build sustanable good habits. SLow and steady and all that.

[@larzie1015]

I keep learning outside of school by listening to audiobooks. Every year I listen to a few non-fiction audiobooks on topics that I’m interested in on my commute to work and I deliberately choose books which spark that love for learning (eg biology, astronomy). It’s a lot of fun!

[@monikakamila]

I’m constantly redecorating and decluttering . Today I cleaned and decluttered some stuff

[@ludmila_98]

Such a good video ❤ I think it would be really nice to watch a video of your favorite nonfiction books by category like health, money, self care, mental health, adulting lol your recommendations are always so good!

[@GingerlyAshley]

I love reading, but I only read one book every few months because I have so many other things that fill my time like working out, cooking, and going to work. I know those are also priorities for you, so how do you balance the time that you read with these tasks?

[@valeriejkelly]

I've spent January easing in as well with recovering from the holidays and getting back into routine, I'm glad it's not just me. I need to do a deep clean of my fridge and freezer too.

[@_firstlight]

just bought The Myth of Normal! can't wait to get started on it :)

[@elenap8016]

Love the book recommendations!

[@mjarsenault]

I bought a copy of the Myth of Normal and I'm excited to read it! The last non-fiction book that I just finished was Feeling Seen by Dr. Jody Carrington (psychologist) and it put a lot of the 'pieces of the puzzle' together for me. Having been following her online for a few years I like how she's so down to earth (with some swear words mixed in there and there) and this last book of hers really can apply to anyone (compared to her previous book relating to kids and to teachers). Great read so I thought I would share for anyone looking for an all around mental health wellbeing book.

[@Rina-tq7vk]

I think I saw your bedroom for the first time 😂 it's simple and very cute. Maybe I am weird but laundry is my favorite 😂

[@coribeck8892]

I was looking this morning to see if you had any new videos! I thoroughly enjoy watching your vlogs ; you are relatable and have some great advice!

[@deedeemarie]

I’m watching this a month late…obviously, but when you started singing the “Blended” song I started laughing. YES, I know it…EVERY time it’s on tv my husband has to watch it! Trust me, it’s on tv a LOT!!! Great movie, but not times 30!! Lol 😅 Happy belated birthday…my son’s is the 3rd and my brother’s is the 9th…typical Aquarius men.

[@deedeemarie]

Hi Caitlin, I just want you to see this scam comment I received. ⬆️

[@bananamaevele]

This was my favorite book talk so far! I listened to Hubermans pod with Dr G and also drew connections between Maté and Dr G’s approach to medicine! I love that too about non-fiction books! They all seem to work together synergistically.

[@ruebennomura9143]

Another laundry routine look good

[@kristysanchez2906]

Laughed out loud to the adult/olive thing bc I just said the same thing about mushrooms!! In my mushroom era!

[@thebookbujo]

I love to keep learning by looking for courses either at the local library or online platforms. For example the KhanAcademy had a really nice course about Storytelling by the artists from Pixar! Other than that I mostly read non-fiction or listen to podcasts like Deep Dive from Ali Abdaal :)

[@tiffanyrogersfeuer1914]

Random question, but what foundation do you use? We have similar skin tones and I can never find anything that matches.

[@cassandraclaudio5705]

Do you have a good reads account or list of non-fiction books you’ve read? I love your commentary, gets me motivated to read ♥️📚

[@Megmeg123]

Yep she has Goodreads! :) her name on it is Caitlin Da Silva

[@wellsfiction711]

I'm also not much of an ET fan. the ride at universal studios is cool though :)

[@sarahli6425]

caitlin you are so fun in this video haha

[@lupe1808]

I hate going to the laundromat so much that i have accumulated enough clothes that i Dont have to do it for two whole months . Also i pay someone else’s to do it for me , because i now have too many clothes lol . I need help 😅

[@JanetSuzanne]

Here’s my hot take… I actually enjoy doing laundry EXCEPT for when it’s bedding 😅

[@mrs.wheatly7612]

Treasures? Treasure? Treasures? 😂

[@melissac8085]

Olive green?! I need my eyes checked lol

[@priyanosaurusrex]

That's supposed to be...green???😮

[@katietayler144]

Someone talk to me about the frozen diced onion. This excites me. Dumb question- do you just throw it in the dish from frozen? And is it still very onion-y… I mean it’s not lost it’s ‘strength’ as an onion 🧅 🤭🫣🤔
