    We should all have a Lauren in our life! What a great friendship.❤ As for closet space...an armoire would be make a huge difference but not sure how much space you have in your place.
    Edit: Well, if your're looking for vlog ideas...San Diego is only two hours away!😉

    OMG! I meant that the other apartment you toured in your last video (that 2-story one) had a weird vibe, not this one. This one seems cozy & comfy, good vibes. Sorry for confusion, was NOT trying to spread any negativity. Thanks for sharing this journey, it's fun for us to follow along! 🫣😊

    I loved living in West L.A. My apt was over by Sony Studios (Culver City-ish). The creative people, the beach, free events, restaurants I could walk to, and even a Ralph's and a Best Buy I could walk to. I miss it like crazy. I used to go to the beach almost every day to eat my lunch and get in my walks on the sand. I know you will be so happy there. Congrats!

      @patr70 8 місяців тому +2

      West L.A. is nicer than "Mid-City" . West L.A. is the Culver City/Brentwood/Westwood/Century City areas. I think Shelby is in Mid-City.

      ​@patr70 that's the palms area I recognize the views. She's south of century city. The restaurant she went to is in westwood. Mid city is less expensive. The sun rise is way at a angel. That happens after the streets curve into west LA, palms. Mar vista

      @@josephaugello1527 My first apt was in Mar Vista. This was back a while. They did not have street cleaning on my block and street parking wasn't such a grueling inconvenience. My second place that I loved was around Overland and Venice Blvd.

    Love the new place! People are so weird... I think your year in Seattle was such an awesome reset for you. Sometimes you need to retreat to move forward, so coming back was just a natural step in your journey. Not to mention that during the lock-downs a lot of us took a step back and took a good look at our lives and asked ourselves: "do I really love how my life is going? What do I want to change? What do I want to keep?" I believe you made the right choice with each move. Looking forward to the L.A. vlogs yay! 😊✌🏾

    I actually like the corner unit, galley style kitchen and the industrial touches. I love cooking on gas stoves so that's a plus for me. I'm originally from SoCal and while there are a few things l miss about it, l'm close enough now that l can visit often.

I live how excited Shelby is & I think this is going to be a really good move for her. Can't wait to see her huge activities list, the more random the better. Congrats Shelby!.

    Shelby, I so love you talking to us as a friend. I also noticed the B-roll and how well you add it in to your video. I can see you are so happy. I think you are in a good place and having Sam rent a place in the same area will make your heart sing. I love your lighting and I hope you set up a studio that you can on a moments notice just interact with everyone. Thank you again!!!

    With the foam earplugs you have to roll them between your fingers and then insert them into the ear. It will take a few seconds, but they should expand inside your ear and block out a lot. You shouldn't be hearing much outside if they are in the ear properly. I use those for cutting grass, power tools etc.

    Honestly I moved to LA 3 weeks ago from Seattle, because of my boyfriend.. I used to live here for 2 years and now I just realized it's not for me at all it feels like it got worse at some point. I don't like constant son, homelessness satiation, way more expensive when it comes to rent.. and other personal things.
    So now I'm trying to convince my boyfriend to move to Seattle at least for couple years. Fingers crossed hehe
    I'm really happy for you! The apartment is nice and cozy and the fact that family close is a plus of course. We're not getting any younger so try everything! Especially if it makes you happy😊❤️

    I know you love the dogs, but I think they took up a lot of your energy and attention throughout the day. That is nice the movers had the screws and came back to build the bed. My dream is that someone else packs up for me. lol You were definitely not happy in Seattle especially after you moved into the townhouse. I understand the idea of driving and just having that time to yourself which you cannot do on public transport. It is nice having that freedom.

It is such a huge job moving and hard to find stuff that you're sure you know where it is "supposed to be". I admire you greatly. BTW what happened to the couch that was in your apartment in Seattle? Nice that your stuff mostly all fits in the new place. Congratulations! Lauren looks so happy to have you there.

    Shelby to improve the flavour of coffee try putting a small amount of margarine in each cup, a baked bean size lump and stir in when hot, it will add to the smoothness and texture, or a vegan margarine alternative. Worth trying it improves the flavour of low grade coffee too✌️❤️🇬🇧

    Great vlog Shelby! The apartment is coming together nicely, I'm glad you had your bedroom set up pretty quickly so you could feel more at home! I'm glad that you found earplugs that worked for you. Totally get what you mean about family - it's nice to know they're accessible and semi-near by it's a comfort even if you don't get to see them that often. Also nice that Sam is going to be renting a place out there! Will be nice to have him close by more often I'm sure 😊. You don't have to answer this question but out of curiosity, since Sam is going to be renting a place in LA now, was it a consideration to rent a place together? I look forward to the next vlog!

    • @jackiemay147
