Hey Shelby! I just wanted to leave a comment and tell you how well I think you’ve done with your content. I have reached the age where I seem to have outgrown a lot of the creators I used to follow but I feel like you have allowed your content to grow so organically WITH you and that really translates so well! I’m also from South Africa so watching your vlog recently made me so happy.

[@pirhan]

Same here! I'm much older than Shelby and can still relate and watch all of her videos. She and Monica are the only two that I've stuck with over the years and still watch every video. I love the variety of content and the tone - both showing positives and negatives while not dwelling or dramatizing.

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

Omg thank you so much!! That’s so cool I loved South Africa and hope to go again one day!

[@EthanMickelson]

It’s be so funny if Monica just randomly started vlogging as if she was Shelby like halfway through the video to see if anyone noticed 😂

[@zahrahussain8004]

Haha they're too different!! ❤

[@barbaravyse660]

Some people think they are the same person lol.

[@zahrahussain8004]

@@barbaravyse660 I've been a man of the Olsens for years and can always tell the difference. Some twins are more similar than both of them sets though true.

[@zahrahussain8004]

@ My Cancer Journey Allah make ease for you my brother. I pray you will read and consider the Qur'an before death comes to you Allah aid us all

[@alisonpaley6477]

I started watching this vlog right aftering seeing that Monica found Cowboy... and to see Cow in the begining of this vlog, I just burst into tears!! I'm so glad he is safe and well!! WE LOVE YOU COWBOY!!!

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

I’m soooo happy they found him!!!!

[@Andreea93chan]

7:15 "I wanna be able to walk to stores, coffee shops etc". I'm from Europe. I was in shock when I arrived first time in the US and noticed I NEED a car for everything. I tried walking around and was literately the only person on the street. I felt so out of place haha xD I just ended up Ubering around. I also took the bus but tbh I did not feel very safe, as an older man was constantly giving me stares and ended up approaching me. I got scared and I never got into the bus on my way back, I just paid for the Uber.

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

Ugh yep that’s America for you 😅 I’m currently In Switzerland and LOVING IT. E bikes, walkability and such clean trains!!

[@vmvm949]

i never thought i would hear you say "dried dog shit" lol this vlog came full of energy, loving it!

[@Rebecca.Robbins]

I have a great idea for you!!! You have probably thought of this yourself BUT…what if you buy a house on the east coast near Sam and renovate and flip it! Maybe when your lease is up in Seattle, unless you already renewed. I would love to see you flip a house and you can TOTALLY find a very reasonably priced house on the east side of the country!

[@isafus]

I just put this video on and got so sad when I saw Cow knowing that he is lost out there somewhere 🥲 hope he comes home soon!!

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

He’s home!!!!

[@stephtwiglets]

the bottle opener is the metal notch on the other side! the side you used was for wine haha (to put it on the lip of the bottle as leverage to pull the cork out)

[@amberleden]

I absolutely adore your vlogs. It’s a feel good vlog where I also feel like I’m actually getting something from your content, whether that me information, learning about experiences I want to try and or feeling motivated to tend to my life work!

[@classicallygrace9536]

Watching this while Cow is currently missing!!! Hoping he returns sooo soon

[@jutperry]

what's happening with Joshua Tree Shelby?? Haven't heard about it for a while....

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

You could always buy a house in cash in South Carolina it be your home base.. worry about Cali later

[@sabrinamelissa6909]

The pamadoro method actually helped me pass my medical boards 😊 and now I use it for my overall daily productivity I love it!

[@mrbuchanan92373]

I'm so glad you decided not to buy the condo. I know deep inside you said to yourself no way. Like I've never heard you say the word you said ever in any of your vlogs. I loved this vlog ❤️ Thank you Shelby!

[@VWHNeal1018]

I agree with you about the property deal breakers. The first impression of a property is everything. HOH collect monthly/yearly fees, its no excuse to have outdated halls. And the current market is not worth the risk/monetary at this time.

[@EttaV007]

Shelby, I cook each week for my dog because she hated everything we tried. The vet helped me develop the recipe…it’s easy, let me know if interested. Love your content!

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

What happened to the Joshua tree property???

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

Graham just made a video about you. Did you watch it? It was awesome.

[@Chutney1luv]

Shelby, that robe, will be nice to have one in Palm Springs and at your place! I am so glad that you didn't buy that Condo! Whoever heard of a Condo, that you could not use the upstairs Patio. Lights out or being outdated, is not cool! Plus, in about a year; prices are suppose to decrease. Just keep a watch on it and hope for lower Condo fees too! Walkable and safe, is the key! Cal, is having the time of his life! Good vlog! 🐾🐾

[@maricelagonzalez9396]

You really are such a good aunt! Absolutely spoiling him!

[@Michelangelo-m1o]

I love your vlogs! They really make my day better!❤

[@iambatman6120]

Sometimes dogs growl to be playful. I know Rottweilers do that, it’s known as the “Rottie purr”. In Cow’s case I don’t know, but if he does that while climbing on you keep that in mind! And I’d say definitely make the robes into merch. I’m sure guests would really love that!

[@hansonel]

Yeah, that's something to watch. It seemed like he was saying: "This is my couch - get off!" Since Shelby has been so long he took over the place 😂

[@rebeccawright5676]

Speaking of projects... can't wait for the next Joshua Tree update!

[@catsnguitars]

Hey Shelby, I’m a certified veterinary technician, and noticed a couple of things that may be a cause of concern for Cow! Firstly, he uncharacteristically growled at you. This could just be a sign that he wanted some space, but could also be a sign that he’s in pain or may have some other issue. Second, you mentioned he hasn’t been enjoying his food as much lately. This also could be cause for concern. Again, it may just be the way he is, but in case it’s something new, I would definitely get that checked out. Lastly, you gave him a bath and noticed some feces in his fur. This can be normal (especially for long haired pups), but it also could be a sign of GI upset. So, not to scare you, but just to inform you that these signs may be cause for concern, and a visit to the vet may be warranted. Also, I’m only seeing a few clips, and I can’t see the whole picture. So it’s always best to go to a vet and share everything with them so that they can make sure everything’s all good with your pup. Cheers!

[@loganebeling9023]

Shelby, love your videos, my fiancée and I watch all the time. I think you’d love the neighborhood we live in in Chicago. It’s SUPER walkable with tons of fun things to do but still a great neighborhood feel. We’d love to show you around if you ever visit

[@evepaludan7713]

The California state income tax is really high and if you live as a freelancer in Los Angeles, there is also city income tax, as I found out when I lived there. I think you said in another video that not living in Cali would save you $38K a year in taxes. There's a great big benefit to living in Washington, a state with no state income tax!

[@melissasiegel9682]

My sister had to do that for my dog when I was on vacation. I still feel bad about it. it’s great to be great sisters!

[@zunedog31]

That corkscrew has a cap lifter, you'd need to flip it over from the way you had it.

[@juliamrtn4837]

I just saw your insta story 😥Hopefully Cowboy will come back home soon 💛

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

I hope so!!!! I wish I was home to look for him 😭

[@coryslife02]

Shelby saying "that's fucckingg crazy" really broke the 4th wall for me

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

LOL

[@conquerordie230]

The military uses cold showers because they help with recovery by constricting blood vessels and decreasing metabolic activity which in turn helps reduce swelling and tissue breakdown. Highly recommend.

[@karmaadam4412]

You really inspire me! I never left as much comments on a youtube channel as I did on yours. Keep up the good work 💪🏻

[@elizabethgallagher1450]

Glad to see u back again - hope u had an amazing time

[@bordified]

One of the real benefits of mortgages is that the interest is tax deductible. With your income it might be a good idea.

[@krystalm_]

Didn’t know that!!

[@maxplanck9055]

The hand clap and false smile and squint is so Monica, a good commic impersonation,im sure Monica and is thrilled, nice to see the "okay" reset is back. Looking forward to solar panels in Palm springs and you moving in with Lauren with the flirtatious smile, much love Shelby ✌️♥️🇬🇧

[@Superduperkyle4]

8:07 That caught me off guard 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Komodromou]

I had to replay the video to make sure heard it right 😂

[@davisneves]

check out Hancock park/ Larchmont village in LA old mansions & walkable

[@AndrewChun791]

Happy birthday, Shelby! Hope you have a great time 🎉

[@canyonrun2565]

Rates for 30 year are about 5.5% now - main issue is the HOA since it is a condo/townhouse.

[@DanFrederiksen]

No rush to buy the first thing although modest rent vs buy and roommate might quickly make sense.

[@karalewis8654]

Going into a sauna followed by a polar plung is great for your lymphatic system. Unlike your blood, your lymphatic fluid is not pumped by your heart. It gets assistance by being next to your veins and the surrounding muscles. When you go in the sauna or take a hot shower, it dilated your blood vessels. When you take a cold plunge or cold shower right after, it constricts the blood vessels and acts like a pump, which helps draw the lymphatic fluid to your lymph nodes better. The lymph nodes are where the fluid is then processed and is part of your immune system. My teacher's assistant from Finland said it's very common in her country and was used to help boost the immune system and stay healthy. Most homes in Finland have a sauna.

[@hvyhttrs]

No state tax (or rain) in NV. Plus close enough to get to LA or Seattle anytime. js

[@ericaberry621]

Cow 😢😢😢 hope he is found!! I love him so much. ❤

[@Jesswalla]

Since you’re into investing, what if you invested with the goal of buying a house in cash? Could be a cool video

[@shanechoi3268]

I wonder how much dirt it would come out from your steering wheel when you use baby wipes. 😮

[@paigeannette]

Do you still have your assistant/editor?

[@pattyg7244]

I can’t imagine a mortgage that steep!! Especially considering you’d be paying CA taxes again? Is that a factor in your plans to move back to CA?

[@astridekko9229]

I’m no dog expert, but I think dogs don’t like it when you put your face so close to theirs and look in their eyes. It’s kind off threatening to them I think. Could be wrong though😊

[@VideoGameRoom32]

I own some investment properties one thing that concerns me is how old the house is. I heard a buyer should be careful how old the house is with the plumbing and electrical.

[@jj-if6it]

Aww Cow. I saw on Instagram that he's missing. We all love him and hope you find him soon xo

[@PandorasTmrw]

The bathrobe should definitely be merch!

[@veronica8638]

Would you consider ever buying in Wenatchee?

What happened to the land you bought?

I appreciate you, thank you for making content.

[@marcoakastallion8621]

What happen to your Palm Springs project. I love the vids

[@VideoGameRoom32]

6000k mortgage that's crazy. Would you consider getting roommates like Monica did to help you with the mortgage?

[@juliakleinke2915]

Where’s the cardigan from?

[@michellecarr5635]

Shelby love your vlogs I’m a property developer/investor from London uk,

[@saratemp790]

I don't know if the words Racquet Club means much to people. And most people don't play tennis also. Better to put on Shelby Church on there. Maybe put racquet club in small under crest.

[@oliviavalm]

Loved the vlog! Always fun to see Cowboy, even if he's a little grumpypants lol

[@karoncrickmore2093]

I think you should do the robe as merchant!

[@karalewis8654]

Wait, isn't your project going to be the Joshua Tree property?

[@thehammah8039]

you have to look at hermosa beach!

[@Draelaz]

I’m shocked your building doesn’t have a dog washing station!

[@nexusyang4832]

9:00 - yeah... time to look at more profitable places to park your cash, i.e. government bonds or high yield savings account, etc... especially with the rates that they are now you're better off to just rent something or continue to split your rent with your sister or someone else. heck, if you have enough cash, you could almost possibly with the right investment let your gains provide the revenue you need to rent something, lol!

[@keepcalmprepon]

I'm old enough to have lived through the 80's high interest rates and inflation. The real estate market is over-valued right now, much like 15 or so years ago......at this very moment in time, it is the worst time to buy a property - wait, have patience, you'll wind up with a good deal that brings you long-term value if you just wait.

[@peggypeyton7912]

Really like the video and music.

[@evepaludan7713]

I love all of your video content! It's fun to eat breakfast at my computer while I watch your channels. =)

[@tinylil]

Cow is such a cute name!!! 🐮

[@theelizabethanway]

Will you be returning to LA to rent until you decide to buy a property?

[@nexusyang4832]

Haven't watched the full video yet but I thought you weren't going to live in Cali.... ?

[@BaileysBarn]

Keep in mind the interest on your mortgage is a tax right off since you are using your residence for business.

[@sterlingmarshel6299]

there is a max deduction - it's not a big savings. It's only a deduction to your tax bracket, not 100% as many people think

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

I enjoyed watching

[@Jeroen74]

I can imagine you don't want to spend serious money on something if the surrounding things that you cannot really change aren't to your liking.

[@sobrashy]

Hey Shelby love your vlogs! It is so funny but I moved to LA right when you left. I love hearing your impressions of it because after about 1.5 years I'm leaving too-- there too many highs and lows for me and I would rather have a more consistent experience somewhere. This really helped me with that weird fomo feeling about leaving!! Glad to see how much you are enjoying Seattle-- I know it won't be your last move! For now it seems like it has been an adjustment but that it has been a good fit!

[@donaldseshoka8245]

This reminds me of my dog name Phoebe. May her Soul Rest In Peace

[@annefosli7044]

I can't tell but Cow's growl kind of seemed like resource guarding. Seems like he was far from escalating further but if it is it can escalate & I wouldn't ignore it. Especially if that is a bed Cow often sleeps on & it doesn't happen to Monica but happens to other people. If it is I'd get in the habit of having him get off the bed/furniture before you get on & then he can get back on once you're there. Could also just have been playful etc especially if he mainly does it to Monica.

[@jhounellerodriques9223]

Tbh I never really understood the Raquet club branding. Maybe I’m missing the backstory but it’s just not catchy

[@Jeroen74]

It's named after the neighbourhood it's located in.

Westwood, Brentwood, Santa Monica(north of Montana Ave.), Marina Del Rey, Manhattan/Hermosa Beach, and Malibu are all [much] nicer, cleaner, safer, and less crowded than areas like West Hollywood, Hollywood, Mid-City, Los Feliz/Silverlake, and Downtown Los Angeles. And.. the people who live and frequent the areas are different too. Even the nice areas in "The Valley" are much better then West Hollywood/DTLA/Mid-City/Silverlake. These nice areas in "the valley are Tarzana, Studio City, Encino, and Woodland Hills. I personally would [never] buy a place in Hollywood/West Hollywood/Mid-City/Silverlake/DTLA becuase they are filled with toxic/damaged people, homelessness, trash, and crime. Even Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena are much better choices. Stop buying into the concept that and people who think West Hollywood, Mid-City, and DTLA are the only "cool" places in LA.. becuase the reality is that many of tge people who frequent those areas, do so, becuase they probably feel like they don't "fit in" somewhere better.. this is just a fact 🦋🏝🏖

[@maddymiller123]

i also got a tax refund from 2020 last week. no idea why but i’m not going to argue lol

[@treciadoss8145]

[@gotyor]

As a broker of a few decades now... NOBODY should buy a thing right now in real estate. Housing will go down over next year, rates will go down middle of 2024. Just wait, and I know these videos are delayed so if your in contract by now. Get out! lol. Most Real estate agents wont say it, but I will. I did the same thing back in 2006 and left the business for a few years because its wrong to sell people homes when you know they are going to lose money. AND with rates way up its a double NO!

[@sterlingmarshel6299]

it's not a repeat of 2008/09 - housing is not dropping like that in any highly sought-after areas. Rates are coming down and you can refinance. You can't know that people will lose money in a home or the future of pricing. If you did you would be making tons of money buying and selling at the perfect time - which you are not

[@gotyor]

@@sterlingmarshel6299 didn't say it was 2008 all over again. I said I walked away from business because I seen what was coming. It won't be as bad this time. But who wants to lose 20 to 30% day 1 of moving in. Also I learned to never tell people they can refinance. The problem was people were not able to refinance. Banks for a while closed there doors to doing loans. That's why people couldn't avoid losing there home. I have enough, I don't need to make money off others people misery, and what's the hurry this is not like buying stocks where if you don't buy today you missed the bottom. Housing prices move slowly its easy to see a bottom.

[@AJA__1]

Why will housing go down over the next year? Please give an actual reason.

[@gotyor]

​@@AJA__1 Rates have doubled, housing gotten to a level where the price is out of reach for most buyers. Most people investments like stocks & 401k's have dropped so low that they don't have discretionary money to make risky purchases. And even though employments up, wages are to low for even a dual income family to buy the average home of $350k with 20% down ( not to mention the only people with 20% to put down are people that have a home to sell to get that 20%). With banks having a run on money, and the fed and everybody else scrutinizing into how banks are loaning their money they have to be even tighter now than ever before about given just anybody a loan. I understand that the economies seems way stronger than we thought it would be after the pandemic, but honestly without the government giving every person pandemic money(from the rich to the poor) We would have slipped into a housing drop off in 2020 anyways. The only reason the housing market took off again was because people wanted to get out of city's and move in suburbs to get more space (since you were lock down in a pandemic). And all we did by injecting all that money was prolong the pain of having a down housing market. The money has finally ran out, and so has the prosperity that went along with it. It time to balance things out, Its part of the business cycle and it long over due.
