    Hey Kendall, quick tip: ideally one should NOT store fragrances in the bathroom as the fluctuation in heat, humidity, and light can long term damage the juice inside. I know you have some beautiful stuff there with the Byredo, Jo Malone, and Diptyques. - greetings from a fragrance nerd!

    I absolutely love their home. It’s decorated very nicely and seems homey. The coffee table and the stools at the foot of the bed have to be my favorite. Also the buffet turned dresser and the green glass knobs on the doors to the bathroom. Maybe you could DIY a wooden box with a rattan front to place in front of the heaters when not in use.

      Thank you so much for these sweet words!! We're still in the process of decorating the space - we had just moved in a couple months before this was filmed, so slowly adding stuff to the space! That's suchhh a great idea re: the heaters! I'm actually growing to like them more and more...just wish our landlord allowed us to paint them white or something. xx

    As someone who used to live in a 600 sq ft apt in SF and now lives in San Diego, another expensive place to live, I can relate. But I wouldn’t change it. Location is everything for some people, and the living space itself is more important to others. I love seeing all the different places in Sweet Digs!

    Wow, it’s amazing how the price of housing is so different depending on where you live! My mortgage is $800 and that’s for a 3br/2bath on almost half an acre but we live in a relatively rural county. Of course we live less than an hour from three different cities so we still love our location but that’s too far a drive for most people that want to be a part of city life. Just depends on where you want to be and what you want as a part of your lifestyle. Love her apartment!

      It's relative to that housing market. With houses/condos being at a minimum of 1 million in Sanfran they need to make a combined income of around 500,000 or have 200,000 down. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get mortgage approval. Banks dont play around like they used to before the crash in '08

      1. Buying is prohibitively expensive within San Francisco. She would have to go way out in the boonies like Antioch or Modesto or something to buy. 2. She wants a central, convenient location. Walkable to restaurants and shops and night life (which is coming back, in slow trickles) and not a 90 minute drive to get to those things. 3. She's probably not planning to stay in the city long term. Influencers like this move around a lot for content.

    I expected so much better in Detroit you can have properties like this available that rent from $800 to much better decorated and a lot cheaper to live in. 💰🥰👎🏼🤦🏻‍♀️🎉🤔 But I guess it's just a matter of your choice 💯‼️😷🔥👺🔥

      That wasn't very nice. I think her apartment is lovely and so is she. She choses to live in SF not Detroit and decorating is a matter of taste. And if I had the choice between the two cities I'd definitely chose SF as well.

    I thought this was about the apartment. Why is she talking so much about the stuff inside?

    Talk about throwing your money directly into the toilet... these people are absolutely INSANE paying that much money for rent. Dumb, younger generation though has to learn somehow.
    Good luck in the long run, kids!

      But you don't know what their combined TC is. For all you know, her bf alone could be making 500k TC which would make what their spending on rent reasonable.

      Sadly the price of rent being more than most make an a month is becoming norm. The last generation is not completely to blame but they did not set up the younger generations AT ALL. We are now having to fight for increase in minimum wage and a bachelors degree in some fields is not enough anymore. People are going for their masters now like people were going for their bachelor years ago. Not to mention the amount of student loan debt the younger generation is collecting. I hope our generation learns from yours and helps future generations not drown in their futures.

    When you want a shortcut in life, just admit it. Don't talk about business (something you aren't familiar with).
