one more item checked off my to-do list ✅ what's on yours?? take this as your initiative to roll up your sleeves and get the job done 💪🏻 hope you all have an amazing week ahead!
Love your apartment ❤❤❤from Japan
Your living room looks so pretty!! love the layout & decoration ✨ ✨ ✨
Thank you so much! 💞 hope that your new apartment is treating you well!
2 of my favorites to watch on UA-cam wishing good things to each other. What a cheerful thing to see.
Looking forward to your updates Tisha!!
@@theregoesgail thank you so much! Wishing you the best on your new chapter ✨💗🎉🍾
@@olbird7647 thank you ♥️
Can’t believe I spent time watching someone else sort out their wardrobe instead of doing my own!
That's kinda my whole approach to tasks these days😁
You got this!!
Central Park. Don't get me started.
Omg.
The bees? The chipmunk??! Those insane colors on the flowerssss???? Gail. Get used to that, because your footage was so da bomb. 🎤🫳
The chipmunk was such a lovely little surprise!!
@@theregoesgail I know, right?! I mean, just the sweetest little treat hiding in the greenery for you! 🐿️
Wow! The Conservatory Garden is GORGEOUS! Thank you for sharing it with us. If I lived in NYC, that would be my hangout spot for sure!
Isn't it the best?!
As a fellow 30-year-old, I can say there are few things more iconic than the Oops I Did It Again music video. Well done!
Hahah thank you so much!! It'll be a hard one to follow
Felt so proud of you for how well you handled vlogging in public!🎉❤
Thank you so much! Felt very awkward🫠
Your living room rug is perfection❤
That is SO kind - thank you! ♥️
Have you thought about swapping the desk in the bedroom with the dresser and mirror ? The space seems made for it then I would put another mirror opposite of mirror , one reflects the light coming from the door into the space and the other reflects more light back into the room . Just a thought it still looks nice
I love, love, love what you've done to your apt. So roomy, so eclectic and so YOU!
Thank you so much!
Hi, Gail. Thank you for acknowledging my vote and comment. Enjoyed the beautiful flowers and chipmunk. Congratulations on your closet and chest of drawers organization and best of luck on running the marathon. Your living/dining/kitchen look wonderful. Love the new rug. (I just turned 70 on Sunday but am learning from you!) Judy B.
Thanks so much for all of the kind words, Judy! And a very happy birthday to you!!! ♥️
Good morning Gail!! Beautiful tulips in the park! Great organization of the closet and drawers!! Your little yellow flowers are darling! 💛🌼💛
Thanks so much!!
The Britney costume was so iconic
Thank you!!! I was so happy with it haha
You have get up and go. WTG on a very productive day. Peace 🕊️
Ich liebe ranunkel🎉❤ hole sie mir auf dem Markt 😊 leider muss ich auf deutsch schreiben, mein englisch ist crazy😅 hab einen schönen tag 🎉
Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen! Ranunkeln sind die besten!♥️
I totally love the same flowers. Discovered them last year. The closet is looking amazing. I’m happy that you are having fun, doing what you can to help others while being even more healthy & I, too, am organizing my closet/bedroom. It’s a process, isn’t it?! 😂 your apartment is truly your home & is showing your personality. ❤
It truly is a process 🫠 thank you so much for watching and best of luck with your organizing!
Central Park is pretty. The flowers are beautiful.
Aren't they stunning?!
They are and to have have blooming so early is nice!
A gold star each for your sterling efforts:
⭐️ organising
⭐️ running
⭐️ how relaxed your vids are becoming!
My daughter survived the London Marathon last week- despite getting over a chest infection. She said her own snot tried to kill her at one point 😅
Thank you for the gold stars!! And congratulations to your daughter!
Springtime in NY is the best... Your place looks great !❤
It is!! Thank you so much for watching
🌷Hanging Clothes Idea
In my closet I put all the same color together. I know sounds crazy that was my first thought too.
I love it, I love the look, I find I wear more of my clothes also instead of reaching for the same ones all the time. I just pick a color and cruise thru my options. All the same Hangers make your closet look even better too.
One last thing, buy yourself flowers every week. They make you feel good and the little touch around your home is everything.
Have a wonderful week 🌷
Thank you for the tips!! Yes, I try and buy myself flowers weekly 🙂
I have my clothes divided seasonally ... spring&summer then fall&winter ... out of season ones packed away (rolling items is good) with mothballs! One can get very pleasant lavender moth balls ... for footware I have what looks to be a long cushy footstool that flips open to store sandals/shoes etc. In the corner of the closet I keep in their original boxes the 'did I pay that much for them! shoes ... my fav flower is a peony ...
These are great tips! Maybe one day I will be organized enough to have my clothes separated by season 😅 I also LOVE peonies
You should get the cute, woven bins from Target that are all the rage right now. They come in different sizes and two color options. Beige and gray. Could be an option for your closet!! Love your unique style, btw!!
Thank you!! The 2 in my 4-cubby storage piece are from target - I was thinking maybe some more of those! 🫶
Many things ahead? Interesting! I love how you've got your apartment, especially after the closet organizing! Loved the run out too. Lovely vlog! x
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Gail!!!!The living/dining/kitchen area looks amazing,you have nice light in this house❤ Bye some small containers to organize your shocks and underwear it's going to be easy to find them without causing clutter in the drawer.For the trousers,any kind,make rolls and put the one behind the other,more space and in display easy to choose and take.Love,you make a great job❤
Thanks for the tips!
Hi Gail, it is always so satisfying watching someone organizing. Gives me the push I need to organize. I am moving tomorrow, so I will be redecorating, and purging. Your apartment is so cute!!
You can do it!! Best of luck with moving & thank you for watching ☺️
Your home is going to be so cozy when you're finished.
I just recently found your channel, and I so enjoy watching.
Have a great week.. and keep on running.
Thank you for being here! 🫶
Sneezers! Bless you!
Thank you!🤣
Your apartment is coming along so nicely! Am loving your content. Xx
I'm so glad!
Good vlog! Very organized!
Thank you so much!🙂
Looks so nice and can’t wait to see what’s next. Your running route is beautiful!❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Also the desk is lower more streamline with the height of the bed and the desk has enough room to use as a bedside table also . 😊 just a thought
Hi there! Funny you say this... it crossed my mind just this morning when I woke up! 🤔
@@theregoesgail I think it would open the space up on one side to see clearly through the room . I also wondered in the living room if your credenza was on the right of the fireplace . You will open up the space and it’s a piece you will be looking at on the couch . Possible place the black metal shelf between both windows ? Just some thoughts . Record credenza might be too wide for the space it will also match the weight of the wooden table on other side .
I was happy to see you outside.
It was time we left the apartment!
I love ranunculus too. Haven't seen any at the supermarket yet. Well, one half dead wilted bunch, so hoping for new stocks later. That is masses of free space in the closet. Huzzah! My issue is storing coats because I have a serious coat problem. Also bedlinen. Loved the Central Park flowers. Beautiful.
Yes, coats a blankets take up so much space!!
❤
Also cleaning up my closet as I watch, woohoo! And the ranunculus are beautiful!!!
Yay - good for you! & aren't they stunnning?!
Now that’s how to clear out a closet 😂
Thanks for showing all the beauty at the park!
So happy you enjoyed it!
Your closet was not really messy, I could show you messy 😅. I live in a old house & my closet is super small with a tiny door. You have a nice closet. You can also get sock, underwater, bra & sock organizers for your drawers. Also makes moving easier. Not that you are planning on moving. With the organizers your closet will be more efficient!!!!! Love it!!
Thanks for the tips! Maybe I’ll look into that 🤔
Great job on the closet organization Gail - thanks for taking us along on your run, the flowers in Central Park are so beautiful. I love flowers too, my favourites are peonies, lilacs, gerberas, and calla lillies!
Thank you for watching!!! Those are all beautiful flowers that you mentioned🌺
What lovely bouquets!!
Thank you! 😊
Hey Gail,
I am in New Orleans for first time and went to the Jazz and Heritage festival. This is an absolute must for anyone who is in love with music. Apartment looks great. New Orleans is almost a spiritual city for music lovers. Very special place. Great people too. Everyone calls you “baby”.
Have a blast in NOLA! Love visiting that city☺️
@@theregoesgail Thanks!
Oh hell yeah, love a random late upload. BRB imma watch and comment for real in a mo
🤣 nothing like a midnight surprise!
So happy! thanks!
You’re super cute just like your flowers!
Oh thank you!
Love your apartment!
Thank you so much!
Good job. Some drawer dividers would work for your top drawer.
Great idea!
Great organizing your place you did most of the work in this video
Thank you!
Love your little yellow flowers, they add such a bright pop of color. Tulip time in the park was so pretty. Great job on the closet & your folding skills are top notch.😀 I rearranged my living room yesterday, still fine tuning it(& sore). See you next time.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the aesthetic of your apartment!
I'm so glad! ☺️
Very fun to watch! Glad youre enjoying it too🎊
Thank you 🤗
Love your flowers.💕
Thank you! 😊
Really enjoy your channel❤
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching 🤷🏼♀️
Yes, you need a trip to the Container Store. You can buy many things for your drawers and closet including good hangers. All your hangers should be the same - probably the non-slip velvet hangers. I can't tell if your closet is organized - all shirts together, all dresses together etc. etc. Are you sure you don't want to hang up your pants rather than put in drawer? My comment is annoying, I know!
Not annoying! Thank you for your feedback - I’d eventually love to have all of the same hangers
Hi Gail amazing love transformation and your time of run was there in Central Park 7 years ago 😅lovely flowers 🌹
Thanks so much 😊
Great work! I have zero motivation at the moment & need to find some lol
You got this!
@@theregoesgail thanks!!
I clean out my closets twice a year and usually have 2 big bags for Goodwill. Did you notice your closet rod is bending precariously? Love the vases on your dresser.
I have.... sure hoping it holds up...
I would actually put your dresser where your desk is if it would fit? You could get one of those floating shelves for a night stand on the side of your bed so it doesn't take up floor space...The other place for your dresser would be middle of your closet and hang clothes on either side...I mean it looks fine where it is but it's a bit bulky for right when you walk into your room.
It's a good suggestion! My only qualm is that I don't want to be looking at my work desk while in bed 🤔
@@theregoesgail Yeah I get that, I just put my computer on my dining table-I don't even have a desk-I don't like working in my bedroom either.
Bless you....... LOLOLOL
Thank you!! 😊😂
@@theregoesgail 🤩
Sweetie I suggest you put one of those braces the closet bar is dipping down in the middle
Yes, that's on the to-do list! Hopefully before it's too late haha
Are you planning to put up some art above your sofa?
Yes, eventually!!
Doesn't it feel good to re-organize like that. One thing... your bending closet rod kind of made me nervous. Might want to put a support of some sort in the middle. 😉
Makes me nervous too haha -- should probably fix it before it's too late
You’re adorable and I love your videos! Way to go. Love the honesty, btw!
So happy that you're enjoying them!!
