24 HOUR CLEAN & DIY CHALLENGE

[@okaylee17]

The editing of the final clips is hilarious! I hope you guys know that!

[@feedtheflameforfacts]

This video has everything. Adorable Elliott-Kelsey interactions, cleaning, DIY, motivation, a touching ending in B&W. I loved it.

[@TheSorryGirls]

AH thanks!

[@thailadayton9734]

That ending, Her painting continued to give her the side eye 🤍

[@bevmacdonald9008]

Love that lady's side eye, she seems able to reflect whatever mood we imagine, from "come hither", to amusement, to co-conspirator's inside knowledge, to incredulity 😎

[@FolkFaninMA]

Yeah, that made me laugh.

[@y0utuberculosis]

Guys always complain when girls steal their fries but guys will eat 1/3 of your food in one bite to "try" it so I feel like we're even.

[@jtru0]

So true!

[@musemin4590]

I love how violently unprovoked yet undeniably accurate this comment is. Bravo

[@mminxxy]

Yes! Always when my husband asks for a bite of something im eating I always tell him to take a MY size bite not his huge bite size hahaha

[@Ineverusemychannel]

@@mminxxyI put my fingers at the very edge of where I’m willing to let them bite. I’ve gotten bitten a few times but at least I get to eat my own meal lol

[@javabeanstudio]

@@mminxxy SAME!! I absolutely have to specify it's a MY-sized bite! They're really out here devouring half a sandwich in one bite. Then mine wonders why my stuff always tastes better, lmao. Because you have to enjoy that one little bite you get of mine, and I don't think you even get to taste yours!!

[@laurabarham338]

Some of my favorite videos are ones where people are checking small tasks/projects off a to-do list. I don't know why they aren't more common. I find them way more motivating/satisfying than regular cleaning videos.

[@WiggleIsWiggly]

Majorly admire how you just get on with stuff. I’ve had a similar looking to do list for at least 7 months and it’s not like I don’t have the spare time do it I’m just the queen of procrastination and spend my entire day “refuelling” and getting myself washed and dressed 😂

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

Mexico City is in a high elevation valley surrounded by mountain peaks. The climate is cool and mild all year. One of its mottos is "City of Eternal Spring." Wear light layers and carry a backpack for your jacket, as the temps can vary a lot ftom morning to afternoon and even from different parts of the city (due to elevation changes). Most of the time it's a little too cool for swimming outside.

[@TheSorryGirls]

noted!!

[@ariellelewis]

So sweet of you to personalize your space for both you and your boyfriend. ❤

[@TheSorryGirls]

he loves the pictures im so happy!

[@droomprinsesje1234]

Loved everything, but bring your dad back and give Elliot's mum the moment in colour she deserves elsewhere in the house ❤🎉

[@lalewilan]

in large format! even i would love to hang her photo in my apartment

[@fabiana9552]

I agree

[@lilred312benett6]

That ending tho. I am dead. Thanks for the small peak into the kitchen reno. I needed that fix. I need to do this too. I have so many things on my to do list.

[@TheSorryGirls]

KITCHEN RENO COMING SO SOON!!!

[@BlackTinkerbell]

@@TheSorryGirlsOMG THANK YOU OMG

[@leahpruner4410]

Thank you for being real and showing your list, the speed bumps and weirdness of things fixing themselves-it’s nice to know that this is how it goes for other people too!

[@samojpeg]

The dramatic black and white at the end was such a cherry on top to this video. Great job as always. Your guys’ content never fails to bring me some joy 💕

[@pampxmpam]

as a mexico city local, i’d advice you get a very good umbrella/raincoat and some comfortable rain boots because spring in mexico city can be warm in the morning and rainy and chilly in the afternoon (it’s been raining and thundering a lot this past week btw). also a good pair of shoes because it’s a place where you’ll have to do a lot of walking if you want to properly explore the city. there are many things to do here like going to museums (sundays are free! but beware because there’ll be a lot of people), exploring chapultepec, dining out in colonia roma or condesa, or watching a good film at the cineteca after roaming around in coyoacán. hope you enjoy your stay here and be safe!

[@dora1829]

Thank youuuu for this! I'm a recent homeowner (well, 2 levels flat actually). I currently have no kitchen, the ground level is covered in plaster dust, there are a million things to fix, tweak, adjust, finish, and put up the wall... I'm going to plan a 24h challenge!!

[@TheSorryGirls]

YES! good luck. hopefully it will help you clear your list

[@pitchycastle]

I've lived in Mexico City for over 6 years. It's definitely not a pool hang out kind of city. It's actually quite uncommon to see people walk around in shorts too. Also take into account that if you want to do a lot of walking, you will need comfortable shoes, the side walks are often quite messed up from the earthquakes.. and lastly, take into account that there is a considerable temperature difference between sunny daytime (quite warm this time of the year) and evening/night time (it considerably drops because of the altitude). In terma of recommendations, Roma and Condesa have a variety of national design stores, also vintage stores. They also offer plenty of amazing restaurant, cafe and bar options. Definitely check out some of the main museums, Mexico City is surprisingly high up in the gallery and museum front. I personally am a huge fan of the Museo de Antropologia (prehispanic history museum), Jumex for modern art.. and you may want to do a day trip to the Teotihuacan pyramids and/or Xochimilco for a ride on the trajineras in the canals. Wishing you an amazing trip and lots of fun!!

[@krabbit2365]

Timers and lists are really helpful, especially for people with anxiety! Another thing I have also found that is helpful is to do the list in order (whatever order you write the list). It stops me from jumping from task to task without finishing the previous.

[@TheSorryGirls]

doing it in order would have been such a harder challenge!

[@zachspellman8056]

Hey Kelsey! Glad to see your “Making Home” update!! Loved Becky’s 70’s vibes going on in her home!

[@wellhello1603]

I also made a toothbrush holder from air drying clay, what helped me is sealing it with weatherproof lacquer, so I can wash the inside now and then. Also I placed one of my reusable face cotton rounds on the bottom, it soaks in the water drops from toothbrush and I throw it in the wash before it gets too gross. Never got moldy or anything, used that technique for couple of years now, it works ☺️ glad I didn’t have to throw it out

[@TheSorryGirls]

smart!!

[@countmomula4719]

Girl, was your new years resolution to be a total bombshell? Because you're killing it.

[@aalmu2727]

I love how they are evolving ❤ these two girls are a huge deal and they should be recognized as so

[@MadelineLewis1234]

When I moved into my 1920s home, I thought the bathroom light and fan were both broken for a month, but it turns out they were actually just on the same circuit as the GFCI outlet next to the sink. All I had to do was press the reset button on the outlet. 😂 (It was still an electrical issue I had to fix, since that is in no way up to code, but at least it meant I could stop using a floor lamp on an extension cord, which was even less safe)

[@x.x.c.c]

Please do more vids, even if it's a vlog or Thriftng With Me or Cooking 😭 .. it's not only the DIY we really realllllly enjoy ur company and we want more .. I've been watching you since the beginning of this channel 😔♥️

[@vick9895]

I`m definitely trying the 24 hrs timer strategy, there are soooo many things I need to do around the house and I keep procrastinating so I can be here... watching you stop procrastinating! But pleeeease update us on your kitchen!!!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

So wonderful all that you accomplished, and also having your dad come help was really nice. Loved the ending of you saying that painting gave you the side eye, I love a great painting. Thanks once again for another wonderful video, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗👏👍💜💜💜💜

[@stacybroussard3097]

Nice job Kelsey! I Absolutely LOVE the photos that you have incorporated into your home of Both you and Elliot's family ♥️ What a Beautiful gesture young lady, Well Done....

[@youarebymyside]

Elliott is absolutely correct! Waffle towels are THE worst. I can't stand them even as rags or kitchen towels, not to mention BIG ones??? Fluffy! Towels!! I think coffee shops are made for whatever you may need. Food or drinks, it's there for you. Your gallery wall in the toilet actually inspired me. I'm about to make a full apartment renovation & I'm thinking what I personally can pull off with photos of my family. I have some really old black & white pictures, then I have some colored ones. I don't like black and white ones & I'm not sure how to manage that for it to look good.

[@deyanirapalafox9886]

loved the video and challenge of completing Kelsey's to do list in 24 hrs but I absolutely loved the ending of the video

[@Poisenivy5]

Wow I'll have to try that caulking tip! Awesome thanks

[@JS-TO]

I’m from Mexico City and have a few suggestions for you. This is a very busy city and depending on where your are staying (ie Polanco -financial district) would be how cautious you have be. It is a city rich in culture so museums are a must: anthropology; Chapultepec Castle; Frida and Diego houses. Be careful taking UBER.

[@ginacrusco234]

Fun vid! Mexico City is great: visit the Cathedral and go up to the roof; explore the Archeological Museum; toodle through the Zoo; find a restaurant in the La Condesa neighborhood. There are hot springs in San Miguel de Allende with swimming pools on the same grounds, but that's quite far away. Look for something similar close by. Have a good trip!

[@madison7645]

There are some awesome free (or relatively cheap) recolorizing options online to make a B&W photo in color. Just a thought in case you want to make the mom photos both color!

[@boniwales]

I love this video. So low key chill fun relaxing and relatable 😅. Not everything has to be an epic DIY The bathroom sink ended up being great 👍

[@Littlelizzylizliz]

I love this 24 hr challenge to get things done around the house!! I am inspired to try this myself.

[@jeseekahpen]

Caulking plaster cracks has literally jumped on my to-do list. So thankful for the heads up and tips. 🙏🙏🙏

[@bozenabertolini3111]

Waiting for your kitchen remodel. Can’t wait to see it.

[@TheSorryGirls]

Very soon!

[@bozenabertolini3111]

Yay!!

[@theonlycma]

I feel like Mexico City is more food, culture, arts and museum vibes than pool vibes haha. Definitely do some research before you go so you can prioritize! So many amazing things to see and it’s impossible to do everything. Highly recommend the Frida Khalo museum, and get an audio tour headset, it’s so worth it!!

[@johankakynclova70]

Hey Kelsey! I love the relationship you two have. You are such a love birds and grate together. Sending hearts from Czech Republic

[@gregorycooper7464]

Mexico city is WONDERFUL ! You're going to love it....just be careful crossing the street, driving is crazy there. Enjoy the tacos, but bring some immodium in case you get a bad taco....I speak from experience...it was not cute. DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY go to see Frida Kahlos Blue house just outside of Mexico City, the town square there is very nice. If you go to the nearby pyramid and plan on climbing it, where the right shoes, it's a STEEP climb. Safe travels !

[@amberfrazier575]

You should get a metal cleat mount for your sink. Like the IKEA besta floating cabinets. Also: You might need to clean and oil and dust the fan , you should do that couple times a year.

[@itty-bittyghost9787]

The editing was so fun in this one!!!

[@warribe]

The silicon tip is actually very welcomed. Here in my country we can hardly find any other type of caulking and the 100% silicon one is sooooo boring and sticky! I try my best to postpone using it bc of it. Thanks

[@luciaplesko]

Ended up cleaning 2/23 knobs 😂😂 I can feel your pain from tedious work that replaced the joy of new tool.

[@RoseHayan]

Thread up is cool, but Poshmark is amazing!!

[@rebeccat8061]

This is so good! I want to see more of these it’s so motivating and it also helps give us a look into what it’s like to own a home (cries in under 50 in the United States)

[@lillylilium497]

I'm from Europe. It's unfortunately not just the US with the crazy housing prices. A (small) plot of land alone costs pretty much the same as building an entire house, where I'm from. Also, thanks to the shortages after COVID, material costs are skyrocketing, and living space is limited as is. The only "somewhat affordable" option here is to add another floor to your parents/relatives house which brings another slew of problems into the mix. So, yeah, I'm joining the crying party 😭

[@MS-zj2mf]

I don't drink coffee either, but love coffee shops and their food!

[@samspandaas3806]

Lmao, the ending is a chef's kiss. 😂🤌🏽

[@philippatill9727]

I never thought about having younger pictures of my family on display. Nice idea. Thanks ❤

[@sabrinaoutmani8851]

Regarding one of your items in the list, "find a place where you can recycle old computers": as far as I know, or at least in the EU, when you buy any tech item you are already paying for its afterlife deposit, so you can to take it back to any shop that deals with tech stuff (so even Walmart) and they are obliged to take it from you, they will then deal with the recycling of computer parts etc.

[@johannawurschlop4457]

what a phenomenal video! loved so many things about this! very real and relatable but also very well produced and super entertaining

[@thailadayton9734]

Elliotts mom got skills ⛷️

[@TheSorryGirls]

shes the coolest

[@jenm3056]

The emotional black and white outro had me cracking up while sharing a sweet potato with my dog. Chef's kiss 🐕💋

[@laflacamorenita]

Great video, amazing editing. It was serious, funny, calm, all great things. Might be weird, but I liked the absolute silence and then you blowing out the candle, very cool.

[@livvehult8119]

I like it! A lot! I would use the top for closet somehow though. Like add something to get even more storage

[@javabeanstudio]

I guess I'm a hardcore Elliott fan, because my favorite parts of this video were him mentioning her camera voice, and "Elliott loved how soft they were". xD

[@XMissCupCakejeee]

The ending is gold

[@hadass2005]

The ending was great! 😂

[@hannapederson9521]

Omg I hope you absolutely love Mexico City- I went last summer and it blew my mind. I know you like plants do you will love that just on the sidewalk there are full sized trees that are fiddle leaf figs and rubber plants 😅 also highly recommend the Frida Kahlo museum!!!! Also love the red music stand in here didn’t realize you or Elliot play music!

[@thailadayton9734]

forever be obsessed with Kelsey’s home 🥰

[@littlelistmaker]

The ending montage is some of your best editing work imo.

[@bellareynolds691]

The ending 😂👌🏻 also the paining is everything!

[@ka_africa]

the end was just hilarious thank you so much

[@srtbazzi]

Day trip to Teotihuacan Pyramids, Chapultepec Castle, Anthropology Museum, Frida Kahlo’s House. We loved all of those places in Mexico City 🥰

[@spyduhgirl]

Using your finger on the caulk can encourage mould growth, try to use an icypole stick or caulk smoothing tool.

[@litwin707]

I can totally relate to the satisfaction of a scraping tool!! 😂

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

I loved the conversation with the painting. 🤣. OMG the croissant place looks GOOD.

[@JulisStuffedAnimals]

This might be one of my favourite videos of yours!! Loved everything about it!

[@ceciliacabrera-hernandez]

Go to museums, they are amazing there! Also to Chapultepec park, downtown of course and surroundings and look for weekend activities there are many free. I don’t know about pubs but I’m sure there good ones too. Amazing street food 🤤. If you stay in a hotel with pool then you can use your swimsuit 😊.

[@abs0ba120]

Yay Mexico!!! 🇲🇽🤙 Hope you like it 😊

[@ilsefrank8808]

So excited for your trip to Mexico City! We just went for the first time in December. It is amazing, but a fairly mild climate. I think you might want to pack a bit warmer clothes. Have fun!!!

[@kybifox13]

Okay the ending was the BEST 🤍🤍🤍

[@katsosa9541]

BRING WARM CLOTHES!!! you look cute but it gets cold and rainy in Mexico city and the air gets thin sometimes just a heads up. Earthquakes yes, bikinis no, unless your traveling to other cities too. People in Mexico always wear jeans no matter the weather. Also never put things in you back pockets of your jeans front only. There are women and kids only trains for safety (and they tend to be cleaner then the men trains) Do not eat at just any food stall choose wisely or get diarrhea. And have fun vist the city park hear some people sing, play the violin, watch a monkey do tricks. lots of street preforms some are very creative, oh and careful when taking pictures with dresses up as characters its not free! If yo bring nuts you can feed the several species of squirrels. It's a fun place don't let me scare you, just be aware.

[@justinbecker325]

Love the ending. Super cute

[@julieanncheshire9960]

A trick for lose anchors where you do not want to drill a new hole--get a roll of plaster casting, cut a rectangle of casting twice as long as the anchor is deep; fold it over into a square and get it wet--wrap around the old anchor, put it back in the wall and let it dry.

[@Natalia-pc7fm]

In Mexico or DF, as they call it (Federal District) be sure not to miss the archeological museum, and the colonial style quarters of Coyoacan (where Frida Kahlo’s and Trotsky’s homes are, the contrast could not be greater between the two) and San Angel, where you must check out the Bazaar flea market. Don’t wear jewelry or be too obviously a tourist. Make good Mexican friends. I did and they made my stay unforgettable. With love from Spain.

[@zulemawilliams5440]

Hey Kelsey! Mexico City native here. There already is a comment that very much explains everything in amazing detail but I just wanted to add that you should bring confortable walking shoes, you'll be doing toooons of walking here and the pavement is not the best. As for pool culture, it's not a pool city, you might get a day pass at a hotel with a pool if you have good weather but I'd recommend going to Chapultepec or Xochimilco or Coyoacán for sightseeing, maybe even the pyramids en Teotihuacán rather than staying at a pool. As mentioned before, don't rent a car. Driving in this city is a national sport and finding parking spots/traffic is insane. Visit all the places mentioned above but also visit places like Lago Algo, Casa Luis Barragán, definitely go to the antique flea market in La Lagunilla on Sunday.

[@norawotton5440]

Oddly satisfying to watch you fix/clean. Still on my couch, not fixing/cleaning my place.

[@irisaguilar5073]

Ma'am. I love Mexico City because my entire family lives there but I would not walk around in those outfits. I look Mexican and speak Spanish but I wouldn not recommend looking like that. When my cousin visits (U.S.A.) she is so relieved to be able to wear shorts. That said, it's a great cultural visit! Lots of museums, opportunities for day trips to nearby pueblos (pueblos magicos if you want to look it up). Chapultepec, the kiosko in Villa De La Rosa, the pyramids! would be great for photos.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

Whoa those snowboard shots are sickkk. His parents were are hella cool

[@jesswueb9505]

its ok to feel embarrased about having a bunch of tasks piling up or projects that are unfinished and it is also ok to be someone who has them constantly, we are fun and interesting. actually tho as someone with big adhd it would be fun to see vids like this of like 5 easy things I've been putting off, or whatever, but maybe without the time limit, u just do what u feel

[@skinanddbones]

Hi hello, on the Mexico City thing: not pool culture, more like urban walking around type of city. It is warmer this time of year but not beach warm haha so maybe save the bikini for the beach, super cute tho

[@sabbby100]

The beaches are awesome there I went to Mexico a couple of years ago. The pools at the resorts are awesome

[@JayofallTrades]

I just got a peice of furniture and its chipped on the side. So i plan on sanding and painting it. Thanks to you and Rachel's new tip videos i think i can diy something pretty good.

[@MarketaSkacelova]

that end edit is everything😂

[@helenreid7022]

Great video! Loved the ending shots! Well done! ❤️

[@ktkrogstad]

The black and white “based on a true story” movie ending with post-movie updates was frickin’ hilarious 😂😂😂

[@24appleberries]

the best part in the ending recap so sentimental 😂

[@vickytimmerman1365]

When I have a whole day of things to do around the house, I set the timer for 20 minutes and run around like a busy bee, when the timer goes off I said it for 10 minutes read a book get on the internet have a cup of coffee whatever and then continue to do this all day long. Lots of time after the 20-minute timer goes off I just keep going and get even more done works out well

[@silarydoveface]

I'm also a non-coffee person who loves a coffee shop atmosphere and a snack! solidarity lol

[@kiliesmom]

Omg the "where are they now" outro was hilarious!!!

[@emmal2682]

Lol the ending was the best, it’s like those emotional shows

[@stetrick612]

🙋🏼‍♀️I go to coffee shops just for the food! Although, sometimes I get tea now but it's usually out of guilt of not getting a drink. Baristas look at me weird for not ordering a drink!

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Bravo to you for getting all that done. Sometimes the hardest part is making a list and just starting !

[@kristinewells961]

So much fun hanging out with you while you do all the things! now I don't feel quite so bad about my ginormous list. And you look so good in that long dress *chef's kiss*

[@starbugginout]

the ending had me in stitches

[@alockonit9634]

In Mexico City I loved Frida Khalo's house, Chapultepec Castle, and Teotihuacan (its an hour drive but Ubers are very affordable). The tacos al pastor were our favorite, I would definitely try the crowded street vendors selling them. We wanted to visit the canal section of the city (Xochimilco) but ran out of time. Have fun!

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Well my husband got finally completed half of our galley kitchen done for 2023 😄. Now figuring out how to cut a hole in laminate for our sink.

[@megan2176]

I swear my parents had that same naked lady painting in their bedroom when I was a kid in the 80s!! When friends would come over, I'd show them, and we'd giggle! I'm 43 now, and have never gotten the nerve to ask them about the painting. Seeing yours close up, it looks like paint by number, so maybe my mom painted it too? Now I really need to be brave and ask! 😮😢😂

[@ERYN__]

I did a Mother's Day photo gift for both of my moms, where I gave them the choice of black and white or color. I was visiting my future spouse over spring break, and I was hanging out in their little garden, put flowers in my hair, and took selfies. Later, I liked one of the shots so much that I told my partner to take a selfie against the same tree so I could frame them and hang them side by side. Then Mother's Day snuck up in the middle of finals and moving, and our anniversary. I got 2 hinged photo frames and printed 4 copies of each photo, 2 in timeless black and white, and 2 in color, because I crazy purple hair, which is less timeless, and the fushia of the flowers, put a copy of each inside the frame, with one set showing the color and one set not. We took our parents out to our favorite Mexican restaurant and handed our moms their gifts, and they got to see both versions of the photos, and could switch the photos if they preferred the other version and had the other version if there was somewhere else they wanted to put it. That might have been the first Mother's Day I spent with both moms, and the next one was in the middle of our wedding and sister's graduation. At our wedding we had a photo display of pictures from our parents' weddings, a photo from when we started dating, and pictures of where we eloped. My uncle walked me down the aisle because RIP dad, so I had a picture of my uncle being a ring bearer for my parents. Our ring bearer was 6 months old when we started dating.

[@Kheekhaikhei]

Ilove the last part hahahaha like a movie! 😊

[@Madi_Miso]

Loved this video's vibes! Editing was hilarious.
