I love your channel Chelsea, this is the only NYC living channel that doesn’t give off the influencer vibe. Ive considered transferring to NYC in a year or two and your channel has been the most helpful in giving an accurate picture of living there including the bad (which is the honesty people need to hear)!
I agree I love how real everything is, I don’t watch influencers tbh most of the ones I have watched depress me lol 😆 is true. But I feel the opposite in this videos I prefer truthfulnesses always and not at at all sugar coated videos or material. Love this channel 🙂
I love watching your videos, Chelsea. I'm 31 on the other side of the world. It feels comforting to know that someone thousands of miles away share the same sentiments. The detachment, anxiety, sadness, excitement, and joy of normal daily life. CS Lewis said that we read to know we are not alone. That's what you make me feel - not alone. Thank you so much.
I’ve been non stop watching your videos they’re so refreshing and relatable! I’m a single mother working as a teacher and artist and I completely understand the whole work life balance whilst living alone and finding yourself 😊
Omigosh.....at the end, her french toast dress; her "mitch mcconnell moment; then the french toast making her sleepy.......this remarkable video just made my rotten Thursday a LOT less rotten !!
Hey Darlin...I have a few guitars and I noticed that you move yours from couch to bed. Here's a cheap hack...go to the nearest Lowes/home depot or Walmart and get those bicycle hooks. They also have the big hooks shaped like a Y. They should have a protective plastic coating. Screw those babies in the wall and hang your guitar up on the wall. Hang it lower by the couch or bed for easy access. It's ingenious and cheaper than a guitar stand. Also helps you to not knock it out of tune by moving it. Much ❤️ love keep up the good work! Love your videos
I resonate with what you said about anxiety and depression so much. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one feeling the same way so thank you for sharing on this🧡
It’s the little things in life. Taking a nice hot shower ( body care/ skin care)coffee/ breakfast in bed, doing chores at your own pace, taking a nap during the day, taking a walk/ excursuses, fasting, cleaning, organizing, or just the pleasure of doing nothing. The older I get the more necessary it becomes. Omg going out for breakfast in the morning French toast yes please my favorite thing especially on Sunday! Wash hands egg, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, Texas toast or brioche bread, I lightly dip the bread on each side. Fry on both sides with butter. Sometimes I’ll sprinkle a little more cinnamon while it’s frying. So good!
I'm sorry that you're feeling so run down. Marathon training can take its toll. Whenever I'm running a lot and I start to get that run down feeling, I find it's typically diet related and not getting enough protein. Make sure you are eating enough!! I'm glad you're taking some time to rest and recover. Your body will thank you ❤
Chelsea you still haven’t taken out the garbage from your last clean with me video! Get on it girl - I know that will help you feel better! Messy room messy mind….Keeping a clean organized room really helps with mood and well being. 😊 0:01 I am always wishing you the best and admire your spunk!❤
Hey Chelsea, Your absolutely right regarding taking care of yourself. Our bodies are like cars. We need good maintenance to keep them going. Our bodies are really the only home we live in and we carry ourselves around everyday. We must look after it. Take a break before you break. I hope you have a fab time on your jollies (holidays in English term) and you get the rest you deserve. Do you know how funny you are? you have a very cheeky witty sense of humour. Us Brits love a good sense of humour. lol. xx
thanks for another amazing vlog your introspections and life reflections and internal dialogue, are really sobering and heart warming, i love the depth you reach just in your daily walks just shows how active someones mind next to you could be, on the subway or sitting in park or standing right next to you, as a male most of us are taught to suppress these thoughts and its seen as a rarer trait which is sad because i feel every living thing has the opportunity to reach this depth of consciousness and self presentness and awareness :)
I want to let you know that you are doing everything right, we all have our problems, I have so much anxiety that it keeps me from doing anything, I drive a transit bus and how I function with all the things I face is exhausting, I look forward to your videos and it helps to know im not alone...just take it day by day and know that you have accomplished so much even if you don't see it all the time, it's ok to break down and it's ok to feel like a failure, remember that to grow more muscle it must tear a bit in the process, also seeing more of you embracing the awesome city you live in is great...I suggest a pic of the Alice in wonderland statue in Central Park, I couldn't get to it when I visited years ago
These vlogs just make life seem nice? Like when you were at the park talking about just recognizing that you're here and you're alive. So much of these vlogs to me are a reminder of the loveliness of everyday. Like yes there's wonder in travels (you have those coming up and I'm excited for you!) and achievements (the money you've raised, your last marathons, and your training rn!) when it comes to life, but there's wonder and loveliness in a sit in the park and in making a plate of French toast and enjoying it. Not to get all sappy, but these vlogs are a joy to watch. I hope you get to see Oppenheimer at some point! I loved it so much (saw it the same day as Barbie lol). And your French toast is a reminder to me that my family (and, as a result, I lmao) make French toast that is toooo sweet and is basically dessert lol (we add vanilla extract, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to the egg and cinnamon mixture, sometimes a little dusting of powdered sugar when it's done depending on the family member. lmao my mom's partner said that to us once and I see it now lol)
Your honesty is so refreshing. You’ve been one of my favorite UA-camrs to watch recently because you’re so hilarious and realistic. I love your content! Also, it’s awesome that you’re challenging yourself to run a marathon. Get it girl! Thank you for the inspiration.😁🧡⚡️🫶🏼
Hi there, just wanted to say thank you for this video. I have anxiety and depression and the way you were describing how you felt on that Saturday - I can sooooo relate. Some days are such a battle. But you fought through it and made it a good day. I’m glad I found your channel! Keep being YOU!! ❤️
god. You said it and I feel bloody normal for once, I felt exactly the same as you did on your walk during my lunch break today. We're not alone and we will be ok
Chelsea, omg. I love you. Especially when you said, "I love Saturday night.. to clean myself." You truly bring joy to my life. Thank you for having this channel. You're the best!
I really appreciate your positive attitude and "I love my life" vibe! I grew up in a more negative environment, so I'm trying to practice being more positive myself. Your French toast looked great (thanks for dressing up for us!)... someone has probably already mentioned it, but it helps if you use stale bread so it won't fall apart, and if you don't have that you can very very lightly toast it to give it more texture before you soak it in the eggs. What good self-care, to make yourself a special meal and take yourself out for some adventures.
I’m 23 but I’m letting go of the idea of wanting but more needing a marriage and kids to complete my life or bring satisfaction. I’m working on my education and thinking of where I can move to in the next year. I’m working on financial freedom and I think your videos give hope and inspiration. I love the hm,m what am I going to do today, the self reflections, and the organization of your space!
im an 18 year old about to move to a city for college and i've been watching your videos for a few months and they just give me a sense of peace i love them
The end. 😂 And can we take a moment to acknowledge the quality of your vlogs lately?! The frequency + editing + comedic timing have been chef’s kiss. 🤌 LOVING THESE. Never change, Chelsea!
Hi Chelsea, I don't normally comment on here but wanted to quickly say thank you for your videos. They bring me so much joy and I look forward to them every week. I am currently going through a transition phase, about to turn 30 in September and feeling very overwhelmed at the thought of leaving my 20's behind and struggling to find purpose in my life. I guess I'm not really looking for advice, but wanted to say that part in the video where you were so happy to do whatever you want on a Saturday night and not feel pressure to go out or that your missing out by staying in and just taking a shower, that's the kind of freedom and autonomy i'm looking for in my life. It makes me feel hopeful that if you can find it then maybe I can too. Also wondering how did you cope with turning 30.? Im about 5 weeks away and i'm not coping good so far! 😣❤
Remember this: you are never too old to begin again. I spent my twenties in NYC and traveling (an average working model, not famous, but interesting), then that stopped --well because yes, I was turning 30 --or close enough and modeling is/was a super young business. I went back to school and am entering my 29th year as a high school teacher, contemplating what I want to do with the rest of my life. Taking yoga certification in the fall. Just turned 62. You are never too old to begin again.
I felt the same at the beginning of my thirties, now I'm 38 and I have everything I wanted and felt so anxious of missing out, I have the family and job I have always dreamt of. Keep working towards your dreams and they will become true x
😊❤ Love the way you rearrange your apartment. So cozy. I love your kitchen as well. It's well laid out and for a chef like me perfect. You have a nice life Chelsea. You really do. 😊 Bella
I only eat the yolks! So I have an egg separator. I takes the yukky whites out. i put brown sugar and cinnamon in my French toast. Sometimes pure vanilla extract too.
I love your channel because it makes me feel normal. as a 30 something yo living alone in nyc myself. the biggest predicament on weekends is "should I get coffee?" at 1 pm.
I love love love your videos. There's just something calming, basic, and relatable on top of your voice being so nice that just makes me even watch an entire silent cleaning video lmaoo. Make them longer!!! 😊
I'm 40, single and live alone too. I have cut off the few friends I had because they are married and have kids. Now I try to make the datys go by and it is nice to see people in similar situation. It makes me feel less alone.
@@АлександраБазарова-ы7ф because they cut me off first and didn't reach out to me before every five years or so. That's not true friends ro me and when rhwy narry and have kids, most of them move far away. It is not the same.
This was so fun to watch!!! Your content always feels so real and authentic . Your commentary is always a joy , thanks for making such great videos !!!
Your video brought back so memories even though I'm 72 (how did that happen)! My 30s were the best years of my life and my happiest. However, after moving to Ohio I can say it was the best move I've ever made. I was born and lived in Miami for 50 (!!) years. Then I moved to Gainesville, Florida and those years were not the best of my life...20 years of "why did I move here?" Thanks for the video and enjoy your life!!
I’ve been watching u for ages and love your videos so much! This one made me genuinely snort with laughter. I find it so refreshing watching you spend so much time on your own and finding true joy in that- I’m about to move cities on my own too and I’m a bit scared of being alone, but you make me excited to go! Have the best trip in Europe, can’t wait to see your adventures
Just one small tip from a fellow French toast aficionado: Put the pan with a dash of oil on low heat and keep it there for like 10 minutes. Then place the soaked bread onto the pan while still maintaining low heat. One turn for each side and each bread, they will be golden. Bon Appétit!
Also, French Toast freezes and reheats really well! I always make more than I'm hungry for at the moment and then, the next time I want it, I can just pop it out of the freezer and into the toaster oven.
I relate so much to being caught in thought loops, having the quiet of the weekend be a little bit too much / overwhelming, and everything you said about decisions. The part where you were trying to decide whether or not to go to Dunkin-sometimes I get caught up with that type of thing for the entire day (I wish I was kidding!) especially if there’s a specific reason that I want to stay inside that day. And when you flinched because your water bottle splashed you, I was like “omg I’m not alone” because I am extremely jumpy from having anxiety for years, so as an example, the spiders in my apartment during the summer make me jump LOL. Anyway, this was so real. I wonder if these types of issues come from living alone and having all that quiet to think too much, and also trying to survive and make sure nothing drastic goes wrong (thus being wound up/on-edge?) . . . I’m going to keep working on myself and my decision-making lol! 🫶🏼
I hit the sub button! I’ve watched a few of your videos now. I can truly say you paint the most authentic picture of what it looks like to live in NYC. I watch a lot of NYC influencer videos and many of them make it look so unattainable. Also I really enjoy your humor 😂
Hello Chelsea, This is my first time ever writing a comment on UA-cam 🙈. I came across your channel while searching for videos on living alone and I am grateful that I did. I recently turned 30 and I am struggling to come to terms with it. I feel like I am not where I thought I would be in life. To make matters worse, I am still finding it difficult to move on from a breakup that happened a year ago. Dealing with anxiety and sadness can be tough sometimes. I work from home and can go weeks without stepping out of the house, but your video inspired me to change things up a bit and study at a coffee shop. Thanks for giving me the push I needed to do something different today !!❤
@giselles0902, Hi, I just wanted to tell you I also lived alone when I was in my 30s. I learnt a lot about MY life through that experience. I just lived one day at a time and enjoyed the freedom of doing whatever I wanted with my day. Have fun!
I loved how you included more of the pauses because the video feels so real and then when you came up with the Mitch joke I just bursted out laughing 😂 Your videos are truly so uplifting and refreshing! Thanks for being you Chelsea 💜
Not every vlogger would point out food stuck in their teeth.😂 That's why I enjoy your uploads. You're the realest, sweetest person I've seen online. Your sense of humor makes me laugh out loud. Keep it up girl, I'm here for it. Hugs from Texas.🤗
When I was 31, it was the best year I have had up until now I think. At 28 and 29 I was afraid that I will be 30 soon, 30 was afraid that I might get really old from one day to the next, but 31 was perfect. I didn't give a sheeesh anymore and I felt the best ever. Eversince then I'm not sure why someone would wanna go back to their twenties....
Thanks for your video. I love the way you share your thoughts and contemplations. As a woman living alone in HK, I can always find peace and resonate with you a lot when watching your vlog.
Your channel is just amazing you are one of the few youtubers whi shows what is New york city's real life. I sometimes go to New York for work i truly love the city but i prefer my life in Madrid welhere everything is sooo cheap compare to New York. Thank you for your humour and honesty. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
French toast: dip them briefly in the egg mix & then put them in a the pan ( have pan already hot with melted butter before you put them in ). YUM - - looks good, though!! Hope your day is good, Chelsea! : )
Thought there was something a little off with the French Toast (never made it myself mind) but the bread was probably dunked too long - isnt it luvly t learn things here!
“When unwinding gives you anxiety” yaaaaaasss! I’ve been working 13-14 hour days for so long I just dont know what to do besides laundry and clean on my days off. Ugh, never felt a kindred feeling more than this explanation!
I just found your channel and I love your personality and authenticity or just how exist in the world. Thank you for sharing your time with us! I’m going to be sticking around !
My addiction to coffee is so real. I can't get through a single day without it. Without my dose of caffeine, I get a headache and become irritable and lethargic. I'm also not changing that because coffee makes me so happy :D
This is the real place for 30-somethings around the world. Just discovered your channel and love how real it is. Hugs from another 30-something from Oslo
Hi Chelsea :-) a loyal, usually silent viewer here from Germany. I love your videos! There is something very special about your even most ordinary videos and I always look so forward to watching them! What you said about free will and finding it not easy to unwind, when you actually can, even though that's all we probably wish for all the time when we can not unwind, and then it is just not possible...racing mind ...resonates soooo much with me. I guess, sadly, it is much easier to follow the day-to-day routine, that leaves no free time for any unplanned activity..than have the so much needed, but kind of overwhelming freedom and free time....Wishing you best ever summer in NYC and the best trip revisiting your younger self in that special place in Europe.
Genuinely so happy UA-cam brought me here lol this was the best vlog I’ve seen yet and as someone who’s 27 nearing 28 I loooove finding normal broads living life and not doing some weird…trendy stuff idk anyway LOVE THE CONTENT
You had me at Dunkin - I'm another solo 30 something living on the other side of the country in LA...I love getting out of bed at 12:30 and walking to Dunkin Donuts
1:15 Hi Chelsea I just enjoy so much all your videos. You paint such a realistic picture of life in NYC in 2023. Kind of tired seeing the same content other creators have. You are keeping it real. Looking forward to your moving apartment videos. Take care. Cheers Tom from Melbourne Australia.
Omg Chelsea I really enjoy watching your videos, you talk about the real shit that may be going on in our heads! Love the reflections you make, keep going
Okay so I live in NYC and I always hate watching NYC videos bc I feel bad about myself but this one is so accurate!! Especially with the heat & with the price of eating out. Same with needing to touch some grass at the end of a crazy week. I always tell my coworkers this and I live near Prospect Park so I will go there and collapse on the grass. Im so happy you shared this!
Chelsea I’m so happy I found your channel. I stay tuned every week like appointment programming 😂❤ love this little community you have built here. Another live soon? Would love to join the conversation with everyone.
Hello from New Zealand. I used to work for a firm where I had to go to NYC regularly. I often wondered what it was like to live there. I was living and working in London then. Love your videos, thank you x
Dude your videos make me so happy. I’m sitting on my messy bed scheduling out my week because I am in school full time and I work full time and I feel so stressed but watching this makes me so happy and I feel like I also am romanticizing this moment. You show such real pure parts of life. I love your content so much. You’ve become one of my favorite UA-camr/humans. Thank you for this Tuesday pick me up!! Also. Your French toast looked so bomb. Lol
thank you for being so relatable Chelsea! I've been watching your videos for motivations as most of the things that you have talked in your vlogs really expresses the thoughts in my mind. keep doing what you do best! Lots of love and supporting you, from a 25 yr old, living in the other side of the world❤🌏
The first thing that struck me in this video was how beautiful you looked ! I loved the indulgent cooking at the end, way too much of everything 🙂 lol. Glad your overseas holiday is coming up - is that your Prague trip ? It doesn't bother me at all to be alone, save for those few moments of intimacy I think we all need - not sexual or romantic intimacy but rather that closeness where we can share matters of the heart spontaneously.
I just visited NYC for 2 days & every time I’m there I think maybe I’d like to move there but also feel like it might totally overwhelm me. It’s fun to see your behind the scenes view. Your videos are very well made and enjoyable/relatable.
"It is so much easier to be productive when you have something to look forward to"... totally felt that" that is how I keep self motivated actually. I work hybrid so each week I plan at least one thing to look forward to.
Hi Chelsea. Eggs are so small because chickens are not the right age to make eggs bigger. Just add some grated cheddar cheese and red bell peppers to the scramble (I put some smoked ham or sausages also). You're a fighter. Greetings from Bucharest
Chelsea is the bomb! Her last video was cleaning . Guess what it was cleaning. I was so bummed. She had 2,000 subscribers two years ago. Currently 45,000. She is amazing . Smart , beautiful, interesting and her voice for UA-cam is 10/10. I hope she hits 100,000 Before Christmas 2023. I think she is a gem on UA-cam. She did mention Neil degress ( not going to write his last name) because she said you are living under a rock. I knew what she meant. The majority of people I know wouldn’t have a clue. She’s the best subscribe. NYC is very expensive. Help her out!
I love your channel Chelsea, this is the only NYC living channel that doesn’t give off the influencer vibe. Ive considered transferring to NYC in a year or two and your channel has been the most helpful in giving an accurate picture of living there including the bad (which is the honesty people need to hear)!

I get so much validation from this. Whenever I say I love vlogs, this is exactly what I mean. You nail it.
Solo weekends are underrated (at least by the people I’m around) I love my solo Saturdays

I felt the same at the beginning of my thirties, now I'm 38 and I have everything I wanted and felt so anxious of missing out, I have the family and job I have always dreamt of. Keep working towards your dreams and they will become true x
That comment about giving our younger selves a hug and assurance is so true. We need to be both disciplined but also loving to ourselves.
😊❤ Love the way you rearrange your apartment. So cozy. I love your kitchen as well. It's well laid out and for a chef like me perfect. You have a nice life Chelsea. You really do. 😊 Bella
I'm in the rural south. I've been everywhere, but I swear it still blows my mind to see how hard some have to fight for a little greenery 😮
I only eat the yolks! So I have an egg separator. I takes the yukky whites out.
i put brown sugar and cinnamon in my French toast. Sometimes pure vanilla extract too.
I love your videos Chelsea, they are authentic and you really let us see what it's like to live in New York, the glamor and the mundane.
I love your channel because it makes me feel normal. as a 30 something yo living alone in nyc myself. the biggest predicament on weekends is "should I get coffee?" at 1 pm.
I love love love your videos. There's just something calming, basic, and relatable on top of your voice being so nice that just makes me even watch an entire silent cleaning video lmaoo. Make them longer!!! 😊
I'm 40, single and live alone too. I have cut off the few friends I had because they are married and have kids. Now I try to make the datys go by and it is nice to see people in similar situation. It makes me feel less alone.
why did you cut them off? what is wrong with being friends with married couples?
@@АлександраБазарова-ы7ф because they cut me off first and didn't reach out to me before every five years or so. That's not true friends ro me and when rhwy narry and have kids, most of them move far away. It is not the same.
This was so fun to watch!!! Your content always feels so real and authentic . Your commentary is always a joy , thanks for making such great videos !!!
I like watching you so much, as people are saying below it is so refreshing just seeing someone living a normal live! Please continue making them!
Your video brought back so memories even though I'm 72 (how did that happen)! My 30s were the best years of my life and my happiest. However, after moving to Ohio I can say it was the best move I've ever made. I was born and lived in Miami for 50 (!!) years. Then I moved to Gainesville, Florida and those years were not the best of my life...20 years of "why did I move here?"
Thanks for the video and enjoy your life!!
I’ve been watching u for ages and love your videos so much! This one made me genuinely snort with laughter. I find it so refreshing watching you spend so much time on your own and finding true joy in that- I’m about to move cities on my own too and I’m a bit scared of being alone, but you make me excited to go! Have the best trip in Europe, can’t wait to see your adventures
Just one small tip from a fellow French toast aficionado: Put the pan with a dash of oil on low heat and keep it there for like 10 minutes. Then place the soaked bread onto the pan while still maintaining low heat. One turn for each side and each bread, they will be golden. Bon Appétit!
MERCI!!
Also, French Toast freezes and reheats really well! I always make more than I'm hungry for at the moment and then, the next time I want it, I can just pop it out of the freezer and into the toaster oven.
Ahhahahaaha I love all the comments adding more tips about the french toast hahahahaha 🥹 so cuteee
I relate so much to being caught in thought loops, having the quiet of the weekend be a little bit too much / overwhelming, and everything you said about decisions. The part where you were trying to decide whether or not to go to Dunkin-sometimes I get caught up with that type of thing for the entire day (I wish I was kidding!) especially if there’s a specific reason that I want to stay inside that day. And when you flinched because your water bottle splashed you, I was like “omg I’m not alone” because I am extremely jumpy from having anxiety for years, so as an example, the spiders in my apartment during the summer make me jump LOL.
Anyway, this was so real.
I wonder if these types of issues come from living alone and having all that quiet to think too much, and also trying to survive and make sure nothing drastic goes wrong (thus being wound up/on-edge?) . . .
I’m going to keep working on myself and my decision-making lol! 🫶🏼
I hit the sub button! I’ve watched a few of your videos now. I can truly say you paint the most authentic picture of what it looks like to live in NYC. I watch a lot of NYC influencer videos and many of them make it look so unattainable. Also I really enjoy your humor 😂
Chelsea, keep doing your thing. You're appreciated.
The thing I love abouts living in a city is the feeling of anonymity .
I love your realness! I am so happy I found your channel! I would love to live in nyc! Love your apartment too! 💓thanks for posting!
Hello Chelsea, This is my first time ever writing a comment on UA-cam 🙈. I came across your channel while searching for videos on living alone and I am grateful that I did. I recently turned 30 and I am struggling to come to terms with it. I feel like I am not where I thought I would be in life. To make matters worse, I am still finding it difficult to move on from a breakup that happened a year ago. Dealing with anxiety and sadness can be tough sometimes.
I work from home and can go weeks without stepping out of the house, but your video inspired me to change things up a bit and study at a coffee shop. Thanks for giving me the push I needed to do something different today !!❤
@giselles0902, Hi, I just wanted to tell you I also lived alone when I was in my 30s. I learnt a lot about MY life through that experience. I just lived one day at a time and enjoyed the freedom of doing whatever I wanted with my day. Have fun!
Hey @@ip6229, I appreciate your comment 🤍 and the fact that you took the time to actually stop and write this, is extremally kind of you. Thank you 🙏🏻
I loved how you included more of the pauses because the video feels so real and then when you came up with the Mitch joke I just bursted out laughing 😂 Your videos are truly so uplifting and refreshing! Thanks for being you Chelsea 💜
I could watch your vlogs forever! So comforting. And now I want French toast
AHHHH finally someone else showcasing what it's really like living here😂 love your channel just discovered!!
omg Jen I've been subscribed to you for ages! glad you're back on yt :)
@@ChelseaCallahan NO WAY that is so cool!!!!! Omg thank you🥹🥹🥹🫶
Not every vlogger would point out food stuck in their teeth.😂 That's why I enjoy your uploads. You're the realest, sweetest person I've seen online. Your sense of humor makes me laugh out loud. Keep it up girl, I'm here for it.
Hugs from Texas.🤗
wow thank you 🥹
I’m also a 30 something living alone in Manhattan. Your videos are comforting.
When I was 31, it was the best year I have had up until now I think.
At 28 and 29 I was afraid that I will be 30 soon, 30 was afraid that I might get really old from one day to the next, but 31 was perfect. I didn't give a sheeesh anymore and I felt the best ever. Eversince then I'm not sure why someone would wanna go back to their twenties....
the 20s were so tumultuous!
I just turned 30 and I can't seem to make peace with it. Thank you for sharing this.❤
What a fun vlog and the french toast looked delicious! I always put a little half n half, cinnamon sugar and vanilla extract in my egg mix.
Thanks for your video. I love the way you share your thoughts and contemplations. As a woman living alone in HK, I can always find peace and resonate with you a lot when watching your vlog.
Your channel is just amazing you are one of the few youtubers whi shows what is New york city's real life. I sometimes go to New York for work i truly love the city but i prefer my life in Madrid welhere everything is sooo cheap compare to New York. Thank you for your humour and honesty. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
French toast: dip them briefly in the egg mix & then put them in a the pan ( have pan already hot with melted butter before you put them in ). YUM - - looks good, though!! Hope your day is good, Chelsea! : )
Thought there was something a little off with the French Toast (never made it myself mind) but the bread was probably dunked too long - isnt it luvly t learn things here!
The motivation I get from your videos!! You inspire me so much Chelsea! (I am binge watching your vlogs Lol I am a new subscriber) Hehe
“When unwinding gives you anxiety” yaaaaaasss! I’ve been working 13-14 hour days for so long I just dont know what to do besides laundry and clean on my days off. Ugh, never felt a kindred feeling more than this explanation!
I just found your channel and I love your personality and authenticity or just how exist in the world. Thank you for sharing your time with us! I’m going to be sticking around !
My addiction to coffee is so real. I can't get through a single day without it. Without my dose of caffeine, I get a headache and become irritable and lethargic. I'm also not changing that because coffee makes me so happy :D
The French toast cooking is my favorite part! This whole video just made me smile the whole time! Luv ya girl!
Sunday brunch dress is adorable and so are you💜
The algorithm brought me here and, as a fellow 30-something, I feel right at home. Especially lesson one speaks straight to my soul!
Yesss! Going through excel sheets and watching Chelsea❤ Greetings from Brazil
Fresh blueberries, eggy toast and maple syrup are sacred things for lazy weekends. Yum!
beautiful and relaxing lifestyle NYC vlog as its finest ❤
This is the real place for 30-somethings around the world. Just discovered your channel and love how real it is. Hugs from another 30-something from Oslo
Hi Chelsea :-) a loyal, usually silent viewer here from Germany. I love your videos! There is something very special about your even most ordinary videos and I always look so forward to watching them!
What you said about free will and finding it not easy to unwind, when you actually can, even though that's all we probably wish for all the time when we can not unwind, and then it is just not possible...racing mind ...resonates soooo much with me. I guess, sadly, it is much easier to follow the day-to-day routine, that leaves no free time for any unplanned activity..than have the so much needed, but kind of overwhelming freedom and free time....Wishing you best ever summer in NYC and the best trip revisiting your younger self in that special place in Europe.
❤
Genuinely so happy UA-cam brought me here lol this was the best vlog I’ve seen yet and as someone who’s 27 nearing 28 I loooove finding normal broads living life and not doing some weird…trendy stuff idk anyway LOVE THE CONTENT
Now I want french toast. Good thing I cleaned my whole kitchen with you last Sunday!!! ❤❤
on a lunch break and was so delighted to see you posted a new vlog 🥲
Yes me too! I loved the dress on her.
You had me at Dunkin - I'm another solo 30 something living on the other side of the country in LA...I love getting out of bed at 12:30 and walking to Dunkin Donuts
1:15
Hi Chelsea
I just enjoy so much all your videos. You paint such a realistic picture of life in NYC in 2023. Kind of tired seeing the same content other creators have. You are keeping it real. Looking forward to your moving apartment videos.
Take care.
Cheers
Tom from Melbourne Australia.
Add water to your scrambled egg in the cup!! And they will be so fluffy and delish. Happy you posted!!!
The way you matched up the beat of the music in the background to applying sunscreen to your arm *chef's kiss*
you noticed🥹
Omg Chelsea I really enjoy watching your videos, you talk about the real shit that may be going on in our heads! Love the reflections you make, keep going
Okay so I live in NYC and I always hate watching NYC videos bc I feel bad about myself but this one is so accurate!! Especially with the heat & with the price of eating out. Same with needing to touch some grass at the end of a crazy week. I always tell my coworkers this and I live near Prospect Park so I will go there and collapse on the grass. Im so happy you shared this!
I love your videos, I'm somehow always in a good mood after watching 🥰
Chelsea I’m so happy I found your channel. I stay tuned every week like appointment programming 😂❤ love this little community you have built here. Another live soon? Would love to join the conversation with everyone.
Great idea yes I will go live soon!
@@ChelseaCallahanyay ❤😊TY
Hello from New Zealand. I used to work for a firm where I had to go to NYC regularly. I often wondered what it was like to live there. I was living and working in London then. Love your videos, thank you x
Dude your videos make me so happy. I’m sitting on my messy bed scheduling out my week because I am in school full time and I work full time and I feel so stressed but watching this makes me so happy and I feel like I also am romanticizing this moment. You show such real pure parts of life. I love your content so much. You’ve become one of my favorite UA-camr/humans. Thank you for this Tuesday pick me up!!
Also. Your French toast looked so bomb. Lol
i think you should have put as a priority to meet with friends instead. Sometimes it' s draining spending the weekend by ourselves.
Sorry this was meant as a comment to the video not as a reply to a comment.
thank you for being so relatable Chelsea! I've been watching your videos for motivations as most of the things that you have talked in your vlogs really expresses the thoughts in my mind. keep doing what you do best! Lots of love and supporting you, from a 25 yr old, living in the other side of the world❤🌏
The first thing that struck me in this video was how beautiful you looked ! I loved the indulgent cooking at the end, way too much of everything 🙂 lol. Glad your overseas holiday is coming up - is that your Prague trip ? It doesn't bother me at all to be alone, save for those few moments of intimacy I think we all need - not sexual or romantic intimacy but rather that closeness where we can share matters of the heart spontaneously.
Chelsea you are living a great life in NYC ! I always look forward to your content.
You are refreshingly real and I really like it 👏🏻💐
When u Crack eggs by dropping them, drop them into the bowl then no mess on the counter.
I'm almost 30 and happy to see I'm not only one who doesn't live in big and brand new apartment😅🤣 I found your tube today and really like your videos!
i'm kind of obsessed with your video style ! haha a good black among all the pink vlogs
I just visited NYC for 2 days & every time I’m there I think maybe I’d like to move there but also feel like it might totally overwhelm me. It’s fun to see your behind the scenes view. Your videos are very well made and enjoyable/relatable.
"It is so much easier to be productive when you have something to look forward to"... totally felt that" that is how I keep self motivated actually. I work hybrid so each week I plan at least one thing to look forward to.
I love you becauae you remind me a lot of my younger, single self except I lived in a small town in Wisconsin and didn't vlog. Hehe.
Hi Chelsea. Eggs are so small because chickens are not the right age to make eggs bigger. Just add some grated cheddar cheese and red bell peppers to the scramble (I put some smoked ham or sausages also). You're a fighter. Greetings from Bucharest
OH that makes sense!! thanks!
Chelsea is the bomb! Her last video was cleaning . Guess what it was cleaning. I was so bummed.
She had 2,000 subscribers two years ago. Currently 45,000.
She is amazing . Smart , beautiful, interesting and her voice for UA-cam is 10/10.
I hope she hits 100,000
Before Christmas 2023. I think she is a gem on UA-cam.
She did mention Neil degress ( not going to write his last name) because she said you are living under a rock. I knew what she meant. The majority of people I know wouldn’t have a clue.
She’s the best subscribe. NYC is very expensive.
Help her out!
You go girl ❤…keep on going…and get your ‘Glimmers’ on, you’re a star ⭐️
