[@CharlottePrattYT]

I'm back!!! Thanks to everybody for being so patient with me while I sort out my posting schedule and get back on a regular timeline 🥰 hope you guys enjoy this extra long video as a thank you! 💕

[@courtneyalysan4925]

❤ Anything for you!❤

[@Izzy_Ramirez]

Charlotte I’d love to see more grocery shopping hauls or what your getting while your in the store

[@erikahipps]

I think it is cute when you say big girl! I think you should be able to call your job what you want! Hope you have a great week girl!

[@mayraescamillaarellano1904]

I am so glad I found your channel! I am a millennial and I think “big girl …” is perfectly suitable for anyone entering a new adventure such as yours. I’m cheering for you!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

agreed!! Welcome to the channel 🥰

[@deirdrelupoli7278]

Use "big girl" whenever you want and for as long as you want. That is all part of adulting....being able to choose how to describe your mood and stage of life. SO happy for you, enjoying the start of your new job in your beautiful city!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

thank you so much!! I love this mentality 🥰

[@tammyallen2841]

I Love it when you say big girl Job! You be you and don't let others influence you! You are awesome love your enthusiasm! Keep your positive attitude its Amazing! 😊

[@bossf51]

Great video, love the DC vibe. The traffic you saw on your bike ride was likely a presidential or other VIP motorcade. They usually have many vehicles including the black SUVs and motorcycles.

[@ashleychapman615]

In DC, I'm surprised that's the first one she saw.

[@isabellaoliveira3018]

I adore the "big girl" thing. I'm 19 and just so afraid of adulthood. I started watching you because you make it seem like being an adult can still be fun and creative and girly. It makes me feel like I can still be curious and adventurous and excited while being an adult, with real life responsabilities. Thanks to you and your perspective, growing up feels a little nicer and less scary. I'm much more excited to being a big girl than being simply an adult

[@CharlottePrattYT]

being an adult can absolutely be fun, creative, and girly 💕 I am so happy that me sharing my lifestyle can help calm your nerves about adulthood -- you're gonna be great!! 🥰

[@alishafernandez1103]

Girl, you have a BIG GIRL job and that is such an accomplishment! I’m literally 30 and still use the term “big girl” lol there’s so many aspects in life where sometimes I don’t feel “adult”. Never let people dull your cuteness! Love your videos and love that you’re including us in your BIG GIRL LIFE! 💖🫧🎀

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Big Girl Life is a perfect phrase!!! 💕

[@SBMJ7]

Shoutout Uncle George! That's so sweet & thoughtful!!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

heck yeahhh huge shoutout to Uncle George!!

[@erinbrino7842]

Seeing a new post made me smile! Thank you! As many have said, keep saying big girl anything. I still do and I am 25. With plain pasta to “spice” it up a bit add Italian seasoning. So simple, but soooo good!!!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

oooh that sounds super yummy, I'll have to try it!

[@mansoor3159]

The smile on my face when I see that Charlotte posted a new vlog💕💕🫶🏻

[@CharlottePrattYT]

ahhh thank youuu 🥰

[@saylorbay2000]

Presidential motorcade. When I saw it, there were also helicopters and the tour bus driver told us that they were equipped with infrared cameras that could see every move we made inside of the bus. It was exciting but it was also a little intimidating, especially at night. Lol

[@CharlottePrattYT]

that sounds so cool!! but also very intense haha

[@christinemetz5351]

Unfortunately, in DC it doesn't matter which direction you're going in traffic is always a beast. Working hybrid is becoming so popular in the DMV to help alleviate some of the stress of commuting.

[@maricleveland8520]

Keep on doing what you like. It's cute when you use Big girl.... There's enough negativity in our world... Keep your spunky Big Girl personality flowing. Have a great week.

[@primrosed2338]

That gift by your Uncle George was so sweet & cute!

[@RhondaRose5]

Hi Charlotte, great to see you. Loved the longer vlog. Sounds like your new job is just the right fit for you Thats great you get to work a couple of days from home, another plus. Omg the bike ride experience, sounds kinda scary and very exhausting. I love the term" Big Girl" it isnt bad to use that term, because everything your doing is transitioning. Dont listen to jealous negative people, you do you. Seems to me your doing very well with your move, job, and new apartment (which I totally love) Have a great week ahead, see you in the next one 🎉

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I love the job! So lucky that I get to WFH a few days a week 🥰 thanks for watching!

[@MichelleM-ud1hx]

Hi Charlotte! Yes... loved the video....the more the better. I was not having a great day....and then saw this video. You made my day a little brighter. I have to tell you, I did laugh a bit with your Bike rental episode...and then the trip to see the Cherry Blossoms! Also: like your other friends have stated for you to go ahead and use your "big-girl" job anytime. Enjoy this time in your life Charlotte, the time goes pretty fast. Thanks for the company...and make your videos as long as you are happy doing them. Kind regards, M.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

So happy I could make your day a little brighter, Michelle 💕

[@pmia23]

awww that's really sweet from your uncle!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

he's the best!

[@rebekkalc]

Yay for a new video! I commute 40 mins for my job 3 days a week in NY & against the normal traffic flow too, so I totally get you! Podcasts really help. I feel productive learning something as I drive🤣

[@CharlottePrattYT]

any podcast suggestions are totally welcome!!

[@MoniqueFerguson]

Please keep saying "big girl"! It's so fun and cute!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I will!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Charlotte happy Monday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your morning routine vlogs because you are amazing Supporter

[@kimthomas8298]

I'm a mom with a daughter who is graduating high school this year and I watch you because she will be entering the same stage of life as you in just a few years. First, I'm so jealous of how simple your life is! I miss those days!! Also, I hope my daughter is as together as you are after college.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

she's on her way to big girlhood!! Life is what you make of it 💕

[@disneymom3519]

I only cook for myself so I buy the frozen green beans that you just heat up in the bag in the microwave. They are great. Gorgeous trees!! Thank for sharing. ❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I need to start getting those instead! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@phyllisdellinger7800]

I'm loving the Rookie also, have a great week, lucky you to see the cherry blossoms

[@jancarlson2165]

Big Girl Era!!! I have to get an air fryer! We don't have a ton of room on our counter but I think it's needed! Congrats on finishing your first week!! ❤❤❤❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Air fryer is a MUST 💕

[@emmajones3991]

You can cook green beans in the air fryer with a little bit of oil tossed in and salt and pepper for 10-15 mins (toss around half way ish) or heat up a tablespoon of oil, wait until it sizzles, and then toss in green beans, coat it in the oil, add chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, add half a cup of water, let it sit until water evaporates, season with pepper and salt and done. If it helps, generally the cooking time for chicken breast is the same regardless of sauces in the air fryer in my experience

[@mauriciogutman2644]

Quick tip when doing grocery shopping. Always check expiration date on certain groceries so eating fresh

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I always check expiration dates! Want to get the most bang for my buck haha

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Charlotte, just be yourself, it’s your channel!

[@nicolem.9354]

I also used to depend on water bottles for drinking water and eventually decided to just pay a monthly subscription with a water delivery company, you can rent the equipment with them as well. You should check if there’s any in your area 😊

[@CharlottePrattYT]

ooooh that sounds so interesting! What company did you use?

[@nicolem.9354]

@@CharlottePrattYT I use Sparkletts 🙂 they deliver 5 gallon bottles every 2 weeks. Hope you find something that works for you!

[@ayami7719]

it’s always so fun to watch your vlogs🤭💖

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I'm so glad!! 💕

[@ayami7719]

Love your vlogs all the time💖 it’s like we are besties!!! Thanks for all the efforts🫶🏼

[@CharlottePrattYT]

yayy I'm so glad to hear this!! 🥰

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Congratulations on completing your first full week at your BIG GIRL job! You sound so happy in this vlog,( except for the rental bike fiasco). Glad you weren’t mowed down by the Secret Service! 😂

[@CharlottePrattYT]

this comment made me laugh out loud 🤣 thanks so much for watching!!

[@MC-dr4vp]

Welcome to DC traffic! That is a motorcade that you ran into. Dignitary (could be the President) moving through the city.

[@kristiwolf5201]

That's what I was gonna say!😊

[@natoyamiller2366]

...yep, the police on the motorcycles are typically the warning that roads are getting closed temporarily

[@clipartstudio9826]

I love this video , I miss you Charlotte ❤❤

[@emmajones3991]

If you are looking for another pasta recipe, you could make a white sauce using your cream cheese by melting that down in a pan, add grated white cheese like parmesan, mix until it’s melted, if it’s too thick, add a little bit of milk, then add chopped herbs like parsley then add halved baby tomatoes and cook until they kinda pop, salt and pepper as much as you want then add a little bit of your pasta water, toss in pasta and mix around. You could top it off with an oven baked or air fried protein like the salad chicken

[@CharlottePrattYT]

yummmm this sounds so delish!!

[@shadesofvintageblue]

Continue saying, “Big Girl job, apt., etc. It’s where YOU are in life and nobody can take that away from you. If it’s your description don’t allow anyone to change YOUR view in your life. Cherry blossoms are beautiful. I went to Japan 5 years ago during March and it was beautiful to witness.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I hope I get to see the cherry blossoms in Japan some day, it always looks so beautiful!!

[@riawazir5488]

i watched all your videos.. ALLL!! and was waiting for a new one! thanks! upload twice plz

[@CharlottePrattYT]

wow that's dedication!! New video posted today 💕

[@ruebennomura9143]

Hope your 1st week at your new job goes good

[@CharlottePrattYT]

thank you!

[@kbl55429]

Congratulations girl, you got caught in your first motorcade. And during rush hour no matter which way you go you’re always gonna hit traffic. Welcome to DC. You’ll get use to it eventually.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I'm def starting to get used to the traffic 😅

[@KACDWFCD]

Your post made my day😊

[@CharlottePrattYT]

yayyy I'm so glad!!

[@rozey6341]

Yay you’re back. By the way, what size glass ladder bag is that?

[@CharlottePrattYT]

so excited to be back! I use the medium size :)

[@yarasallam2926]

Love your new picture of the channel im a huge fan ❤❤❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

thanks so much!! 🥰

[@yarasallam2926]

@CharlottePrattYT ur welcome its really cute 🥰🥰

[@randiemullins7232]

You did a "big girl" video. Luv it❤

[@tori_lahr]

Frozen veggies are flash frozen at peak freshness so you are still getting optimal nutrition from them! Don’t always think frozen is bad 😊

[@CharlottePrattYT]

ooooh I didn't know that!! Thank you!

[@KashmiriMissPooja]

Video suggestions: * self care routine * a day of what you eat in a day * some kind of a challenge video * a DC tour (high level) * a weekend as a corporate girl

[@CharlottePrattYT]

great suggestions!!

[@heatheristhatu]

LOL - congrats on your first encounter with the motorcade. Could have been the president.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I wish I knew, I would have watched more!

[@ashlynnsuzanne5397]

I live in NoVa and traffic sucks literally everywhere unfortunately

[@mauriciogutman2644]

You're definitely stepping up your game with the cooking now. In Maine you didn't cook that much.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I've definitely been cooking more here than I did in maine!

[@janetgray8737]

Charlotte, you be you and those that criticize can be whatever. People need to look in the mirror before they want to complain about someone.

[@yarasallam2926]

The new profile picture is really cute 😍 ❤ hope u always have a good time 😊😊❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

thank you!!

[@TheLunarFire]

Those are motocade vehicles. Depending on the number of cars that can tell you if its presidential, cabinet, congressional, or ambassador.

[@Fonsdani]

You can do the "what's on my phone" almost all youtubers do it😊

[@lindseystill2846]

Say big girl because you're living your best life right now and you're young so why not haha ❤

[@bluegoldlove]

Welcome to DC, what you saw was the presidential motorcade 😂

[@LisaWolf88]

its a cute phrase to use. I don't know of anyone in their early 20s who's felt like a full fledged adult. If you wanna use that phrase, do it. Those who don't like it will get over it, or they won't Their problem, not yours. You do you hun

[@CharlottePrattYT]

🥰🥰

[@AbbysIndianAdventures]

Hey Charlotte first of all i love watching ur vlogs so keep going dont listen to anybody saying negative .. But can u please give me the song name used it thr video i would really love to listen to them .. And from next video if possible can u mention the song name in the description

[@SarahSchneider2]

I know it’s technically not cooking from fresh but to keep green beans from going bad you could buy frozen. That way you have them in your freezer ready to make and don’t have to worry about them going bad.

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

I like to use the frozen variety that are steamed in the microwave because mine also go bad if they are hiding in my crisper.

[@SarahSchneider2]

@@budgetwithrenay2419 those are the ones I use and they are pretty reasonably priced for around 3 servings or so of vegetables.

[@drushtisingh2529]

You should definitely say the big girl phrase !!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I will 🥰

[@user-cu8lw1uc5w]

Hi😊have a beautiful time🌱 and see you🔆 my friend 🕊

[@nash5262]

Not loving how the alternatives for “big girl” in the comments are all gender neutral. It feels like the issue is less with an adult using a “young” term and more with using the word “girl.” Anyway, love the vlog, your energy is so nice and infectious :) congrats on the new job!

[@kristinestocker]

Try frozen green beans. The fresh ones do go bad surprisingly fast.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I need to!

[@floorlammeree]

Hey girl, the sirenes where probaly the president who is gonna move somewhere

[@julieward1761]

I’m guessing the absurd amount of police vehicles was for the President🤣

[@CharlottePrattYT]

that seems to be the general consensus 😅

[@monicavannoort1468]

Please, do not care what annyone says. I am almost 52 and you can be proud of what you have accmoplissed. I am Dutch sorry for my Englisch.

[@ItsTinaTimeXOXO]

22 is definitely still young adult energy 😂 I'm 33 and am just now feeling like an adult ppl are just annoying. Congratulations on your new journey ❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

yessss I love it!! Keep the young adult energy for as long as possible 💕

[@dorisbarner4397]

The police were yelling at you because you crossed paths with the POTUS convoy. Anytime he moves, 'all that' goes with him. I've done the same, except in my car.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

glad I'm not the only one who's done it!

[@AdonaiRose7]

They all get to see what they want to see before it ends

[@floppyjalopy94]

City bikes should have helmets provided? We do in Australia

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I wish!!

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

Because ur an adult nobody can tell you what u can say or not say. You get to make ur own decisions in every part of ur life including what you call ur life. If u want to call it ur big girl job call it that. People have zero right to tell you anything about how you describe your life. If they don’t like it they can unsubscribe. Part of being an adult is ignoring what doesn’t benefit you anymore. And other people’s opinions don’t benefit you all the time. You’re doing great. Just keep doing you. Protect your peace my dear.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

so well said 🤍

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Nice one!❤❤

[@AdonaiRose7]

No need to worry I'm being cautious

[@sherrytaylor3042]

Nice video❤Spring Water taste better!

[@mauriciogutman2644]

I noticed you didn't get any cereal for breakfast or quakes when you did your groceries. Bagels are not too healthy. But veggies and fruits are super healthy for you.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I already had cereal so I didn't get any more! All about balance :)

[@LilBarbie22]

The traffic will only get worst when people start returning home from being in the south for 6 months.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I have already started noticing it getting worse 😅

[@jacquelinemullinax393]

[@mokshaakula]

Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤

[@floppyjalopy94]

You can defrost your chicken in the microwave??

[@CharlottePrattYT]

yes!! Some microwaves even have a "defrost" setting!

[@maryjaneknab4051]

🌸

[@suzielee]

I don't think it should really matter one way or another but "grown up job" is another phrase you can say without it sounding too immature.

[@sallieschuetz1796]

Welcome to DC traffic.

[@adubimoyinoluwa2786]

❤

[@KashmiriMissPooja]

If the water isn’t good for consumption, then I think you shouldn't be using it for cooking either, like boiling pasta or rice. Just my thoughts

[@CharlottePrattYT]

It's perfectly safe for consumption, I just don't think it tastes good hahaha

[@snippetsofpam184]

[@simrangorasia6354]

Do more work weekly vlogs.

[@acd1168]

Girl traffic here is always bad. 😂

[@CharlottePrattYT]

that's what I'm starting to realize lmao

[@izzyoss9446]

the police bigade had to be some govt official getting an escort or something

[@chellebelle0911]

You handled that like a BIG GIRL 😂😂

[@CharlottePrattYT]

LOL thank you 😅

[@beekeepstrack]

I think the reason I don't like the "big girl" phrasing is that I did the same thing, thinking I wasn't "really" an adult because I'd just moved out of my parents' house, I was only on my second full-time job, I wasn't covering all my expenses, etc, etc... and eventually I realized I'd probably never feel like an adult if I didn't embrace that I WAS one and start thinking of myself as one. So I'd like to see younger people embrace it younger than I did!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I definitely will embrace it, I just don't want to rush this part of my life either 🤍

[@fullofbeansgaming]

Lmao I use "Big girl" for everything because it's funny. I'm 34. Use "big girl" as much as you want.

[@sallieschuetz1796]

Probably a prominent government person was what the caravan was about…….you will get use to those as well…..once again…..welcome to DC.

[@insaneamna5933]

Imma first 🎉

[@bobbyjones7354]

Hi, These people that are complaining about your big girl apt and job ((( need to be concerned about major issues in this world 2day not irrelevant things. I find it ridiculous complaining about this big girl talk. Geeze let it rest people!!! Keep doing you! 🐾🐕🥀🙏✝️

[@cathykozlowicz5252]

Say big girl if you want to. I like it. Everyone says that.

[@saylorbay2000]

“Big girl” is fine. Who cares what they think?

[@chikoosays]

You could use Young Adult maybe Coz 22 with 2 jobs down is a little elder than ‘Big Girl’ and younger than Adult

[@kathimaus0792]

Ok ok yeah got the reason why you call it Big Girl Job. But I wasn’t trying to make You feel like it’s stupid or something. To clear that… I only think an Young adult would prefer to be seen as such… still it’s your own thing. Do what you want. It never meant I hate your videos or anything… it was just my personal opinion. No hate or beef here. ❤ continue with your Work

[@CharlottePrattYT]

no beef at all 💕

[@gunarchy]

lol don't listen to the vocal minority-- keep using the term big girl!

[@mauriciogutman2644]

I wouldn't recommend you eating bagels almost every morning with cream cheese not too healthy for you maybe some oat quakes would be more healthy. You're beautiful babe

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I def don't eat bagels every day, just happened to eat a bunch of them in this video 😅

[@Aunty-A]

Steamed brocolli is awful. Sauté it in a frying pan with avocado oil, Mrs dash garlic & herb, garlic powder, black pepper & thyme. You’ll faint.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I love sauteed broccoli! my mom has a recipe she passed on that is to die for 😋

[@Aunty-A]

DRAMA QUEEN!!!!! OMG!!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
