Hey Ava, I think that a "Making My Apartment Feel Like Home" video would be a great idea, like finding tips and tricks to make your space comfortable! This could be lighting candles to add scent/warmth, cooking a homemade meal (family recipe), inviting people over, etc!
yes you CAN. So proud of you for answering these questions and transitioning with such a positive and realistic attitude. I swear everyone needs to live alone at some point because you learn SO much even from the smallest hurdles you have to cross each day!
I am the youngest and finally moving out and my parents have made me feel so bad, but sometimes we have to do what’s right for us in order to experience and learn new things as we grow older. It’s not like all of my siblings are gone either lol they still have the middle child and from what I know she’s not moving out any time soon!
I love your honesty and transparency. It can be scary making this big change but I think it’s apart of growing up. There’s ups and downs in all changes in life, you’ve got this girl ☺️💜💜
Omg I could never relate to something so much “I have to keep myself alive” literally when I first moved out it was sooo hard to feed myself but now I’m a 5 star chef and I’m living 💅🏾
I loved this video, Ava! I'm 20 years old, a nursing student in college, and I still live at home with my family! My plan is to move out when I graduate. It's inspiring to see you move out and start "adulting" in that sense because you're stepping into a new chapter of your life! Thank you!!
after living at home for 22 years, i'm moving out this month because i'm getting married! i feel like i'm on this moving journey with you, so just know you aren't alone! 💘💖💗💓💞
This made me wanna live alone again, i feel/felt the SAME EXACT THINGS when i moved out on my own. everyone thought i was crazy for wanting to live alone
I also moved out on my own. It can be lonely at times but I have grown so much in the past year. You learn so much about yourself. Congrats on the life accomplishment! Love your videos as usual! ❤️
i also just recently moved out by myself and it’s definitely hard and lonely. and i especially relate to having to control my impulse shopping lol! overall you got this girl and congrats on this big life accomplishment 🤍🍋
Been living alone for a couple years now. Loneliness comes in waves for sure. I’m a pretty independent person, but sometimes it’s hard coming home to an empty house (especially after a hard day). That being said, I’ve grown so much and learned a lot about myself! Have fun & enjoy this time!
I absolutely love that you keep us informed in your life! As a high school junior, I definitely feel like seeing this process in a more realistic way calms me down for when I leave. Also, do u have any podcast recommendations?? Love from Colombia!🇨🇴❤️❤️❤️
Yes! Thank you for bringing up the sad parts of moving out, no one talks about it and it is sad a chapter is closing but also exciting a new one is beginning! 🍋
I started living alone this year at 17 and it's been a pretty amazing experience. Learning to enjoy your own company is so difficult but also fulfilling and although I have definitely felt lonely at times, I wouldn't change it for anything! Can't wait to watch more apartment vlogs! 💗💗
I am currently struggling with loneliness. I had to go back in person for college which meant moving 4 hours away. I have been going to bed crying and waking up crying. I am trying everything I can to get over this especially because I have already been through this my first year. I’m about to graduate in June which is why I’m so embarrassed for feeling like this. But after 2 years being home to a sudden shift to being alone at school is really difficult. Thank you for this video. I love watching and hearing you in the background which helps with the loneliness.
I never reply to comments usually, but I really connected with this one! I also am graduating college in June and moving back to school has been so hard this year. I always miss my family and my boyfriend (who still lives at home) and feel very lonely. I’ve been experiencing anxiety for the first time ever and it’s just really hard. I just keep reminding myself that June will be here sooner than I know it and that I can get through it!
I moved to a different country for a semester abroad and even though I feel comfortable here the thought of not seeing my family, friends, home until July is very scary. It feels like such a long time :(
Hey! Did you find that the loneliness eventually went away and you got used to it? I’m just wondering if you eventually get used to it or if it’s something that will always be there
I’ve been loving these videos because it gives me an idea since I plan to move out after I graduate college. Thank you Ava for providing your experience 💛
As a 22-year-old that moved out at 18 and moved into a tiny house it is definitely a huge adjustment to life and adapting to being on your own but being on your own honestly it is one of the best feelings. So proud of you Ava
OMG I recognize myself so much in the first question, I lived alone for a few weeks in the summer at home and it's horrible to have no one in the morning or in the evening, it's really a difficult solitude for the morale. It pierces the soul.
Even though I’m older than you, you are one of my biggest role models! The way you live your life is just so inspiring. While keeping your life aesthetic and pretty, you never shy away from talking about important things and that is what I love about your videos and strive to have in my content as well. Just living through your videos and manifesting my move out as well!! ❤️✨✨ 🍋🍋🍋
Thank you so much for being honest about cost, so many influencers don’t talk about it and I think it’s important so that others don’t try to keep up with a lifestyle that might not be ready for. But I am so happy for you Ava!! To be so blessed to live in Oahu is amazing and I hope you live your best life 🤍
I’m kinda late but thank you for this. I feel like I’m on the right path right now. My whole mindset these past few years now has rapidly shifted since 15 and I'm also going to turn 18 next year so, I think that explains these changes in my life. Hoping for the best for all of us!!
I found your channel recently and I’ve been binge watching all your videos. You’re beautiful; cute, funny, fun, radiate positive energy and I love it, new subscriber btw💙💙💙!
I’m so excited to move out!! I’m 20 and will be moving out this summer so I’ve been in love with all of your content lately! Keep it up girl you’re killin it ☺️🍋🍋
Keep in mind, Ava is really lucky to get most of her furniture and decorations in a short amount of time. It’s not going to be this easy unless you have money. You may have your apartment fully furnished in a year or even more. You may be sleeping on a mattress for months. Furniture and kitchen supplies, etc, are very expensive.
Thank you!! school don't teach you anything about life and how to manage it. I'll never stop complaining about this even if I finished school 2 years ago! Anyway thank you for the video, you're such an inspiration!! Killing it :)
hello! i have begun the process of moving out and having someone my age. in the same stage of life as me who's also figuring it out has been very helpful and comforting. i started watching you when i made my first internet friends because i was looking for vlogs of people meeting their internet friends for the first time. it's been so nice to have someone understand what I'm going through through life. thank you ava!
AVAAA i know you were planning on getting art for this corner to film but I am loving the minimalistic video. It's so easy and calming/ theraputic to watch. I would love it if you kept it like that. Obviously I am just one person but do a poll maybe? I LOVE IT
I liked hearing you talk about why you didn’t decide to move to New York when especially now so it’s a bit of a new trend amongst influencers to move there
I experienced this when I moved out and the only advice I have is time. My home is now my favourite place but it took a couple months to get used to being without my family.
as i’m watching all your moving videos i’m really wishing that when i move out i’ll remember to watch your videos again because i know they’ll be so comforting :) 🍋
I moved countries 5 months ago, aged 20, to study for a months, and I‘m moving back home in a month. It‘s insane how much I learned from being on my own, being so far away from my family and never quite settling down. Before I left I never considered moving out so soon, but having made this experience now makes me want to move out and live in some apartment all by myself as soon as I can afford it myself - and I get your point about roommates 100%, I moved in with people not knowing them and it was the worst thing about my 6 months stay, since I ended up moving in with the most terrible people, literally the worst people I ever met haha. The only person I’d move in with right away would be my younger sister, not even my other siblings or my best friend, let’s see how it’ll be one day I have partner and at some point decide to move in with them. Also the point of missing home- I am still getting used to missing home so very much but enjoying life far away at the same time. It’s a strange feeling to have two homes, even though I call my home my home and here, right now, the new country is my home, not the city or apartment I’m living in. Love your moving out series, I only got to know you through them!
That’s so cool that you’re studying abroad! I’m planning on doing the same next year and I’m kinda worried about it haha. Beside your living situation would you say your experience was good?
Ava, I know how you feel about moving in with someone!! I also like my independence and it’s nice to hear that from someone who is in a long term relationship. You can love your partner and spend time with him while also having this time and space for yourself while you’re living alone.
I'm so glad you touched on this because i move out for the first time a few months ago and my god is grocery shopping difficult. firstly you have to force yourself to actually go and get the groceries (it's so expensive and for what) and then you go home tired and now you have to USE those groceries to make a meal to keep yourself alive. so glad it's not just me
Hello Ava! I’m 11 bit young , but mentally I feel like I’m 16 or so. I know you probably aren’t going to notice me , but I came across your channel today , I subscribed!! Your videos give me a lot of motivation to keep going and I LOVE ❤️ your apartment. It’s just so beautiful and I totally agree about the I like living alone fact ! I just want to tell you : You are such a queen and your so pretty . 🍋🍋🍋 . I usually don’t watch vlogs but yours just hit different you know? If you read until here then THANK YOU SO MUCH and keep up the good work !!!!! 😊😊😊
Moving out next fall and your series is sooo helpful! It feels good to hear you talk about your experience and it is especially comforting that you do it in such an authentic way. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it’s truly inspiring ✨🌺🍋
i love this style of videos! i relate so much with u ava, i’m going to move out of my home for the first time also in the fall for college and i’m a nervous wreck. but watching ur videos really have in-sealed more confidence in myself and seeing u do it on ur own is inspiring especially since we around the same age! i send nothing but good videos towards u and this new chapter in your life❤️❤️❤️
Hey! Um, I just got to your channel because of your moving videos, and usually, I don't like videos where people are just talking and answering questions and things like that, but I just loved listening to you talk. I love your voice, it's so easy to listen to. 🍋🍋🍋
🍋🍋🍋 thanks for showing the other side of moving out, its always glamorized but it seems so stressful and complicated. i myself have been trying to learn some easy meals to feed myself, and i think this one might be of some help to you! (if you like fish) when u go grocery shopping, try and find a bag of frozen tilapia, and some frozen broccoli (my live savior). u can thaw out the tilapia by putting it in a bold of cold/lukewarm water and letting it sit for like thirty minutes. during this time u can make some rice (i do 1 1/4 water for every cup of rice roughly) once the tilapia is thawed you can drizzle oil on it and season it (i use oldbay, cilantro, and adobo OR just salt, red cayenne pepper, paprika, and a sprinkle of curry powder) either put it on a pan over the stove or a tray in the oven. if its on the pan it should only take a few minutes to cook, if in the oven just leave it for like 25-35 minutes on 350. once its done cooking just let it rest and cool. now u can take a handful of the frozen broccoli, microwave it for a few minutes in 2 min intervals until its nice and soft. i put some butter with it so it melts, or just do salt or a splash of italian vinaigrette. and there u go! u can cut up some lemon and squeeze it over the fish to really bring out the flavors. its really simple and easy to get the hang of, and i feel great after eating it. simple recipes like this have really been a blessing, and i hope this may help u too! love u ava💓
I’m 20 years old, turning 21 in June and I have felt so embarrassed and self conscious living at home with my parents but Ava has helped me so much with realizing that there is no shame in waiting. She really showed us that it’s okay not to be ready to move out as soon as you hit adulthood. I feel so much comfort now that I know i’m not the only one who struggles with this ❤️🍋
I still feel lonely and get a lot of free time sitting in my apartment alone and thinking"what am I doing here alone". Such a comfort to know there's people feeling the same way. thank you for the video!!
This may sound crazy but on Etsy people sell hanging planters made out of disco balls and I think it would go GREAT In your space!! Also a record player with some vinyls!!
you are such an inspiration Ava! My roommate moved out a couple weeks ago and I’ve been living alone (in a sense) so it was really nice to hear your experience and advice and find some comfort in the fact that I’m not the only one who struggles with it. keep being your amazing self - I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!! 🍋🍋💜💜
from living on my own i’ve learned a little hack to save money, I always use to cook for so many people so I kind of forgot i’m only feeding me now. so buy the bigger packs of chicken/ meat etc. and freeze them in feeezer bags so that you’re not constantly buying meats to cook! same with veggies/fruits. so much easier for when you thaw it out you don’t have to worry about food going bad
you answered my question :)) (are you comfortable with silence) I’m sure other people asked this, too!! but i wanted to ask you because you’ve said multiple times that you’re comfortable with yourself (and that’s something I’ve been working on) but the idea of “being comfortable with myself” in my head = being absolutely comfortable with silence. i really appreciate your answer that you are only comfortable with it sometimes!! bc me too and idk that helped clarify this absolute myth i made up in my head about being alone. so thank you!!
your moving videos have been so amazing, and make me so excited to move to an apartment when i am older. hope you have been enjoying living alone, and i love how you have been discussing the negative's of moving of living alone as well as the positives :)
Killing it! When I moved out 3 years ago 850 miles away from everyone I knew and loved it was WILD. I lost my job after only a month of living on my own and supporting myself. It was a JOURNEY but its crazy to look back and be like damn I got through all that on my own!
please please please do a video on your advice on renting for the first time- like a guide to renting/ things yuo wish you knew about renting, deposit, bills etc
this validated so much of my own experience in my new season of life. i have a partner but i don’t want to live with him and i tried to normalize it myself but hearing someone else normalize it out loud made me feel better about my choice. thank you Ava ❤️ so proud of you and happy for your new home!!!
Cannot recommend moving out enough! I was blessed to be able to stay at home through college, and then getting my own place (albeit with a roommate) was so so good for my growth as a person and learning responsibility. It can be scary but most things in life that worth doing are a little scary at first. I'm 30 and married now, and I'm so grateful for those years I lived out of my parents' house because it prepared me for taking care of my own home :)
I loved this video! It showed me that it's okay to wait until you're ready to move out which is very comforting. I hope you make long videos in the future! 🍋
I felt it when I moved it out on my own in 2019 it was scary at first because I lived with younger siblings so everything is there at your nest and living with your parents makes things easier on you. When I left for the first couple of days it didn’t feel easy at all, but throughout it taught me to just appreciate yourself and grow, thanks for sharing your experience Ava. Have a great day day ❤️☺️
There are curtain rods on Amazon/Target/Walmart that you can put on yourself without drilling holes. They’re usually for renters and you extend the poles from the inside of the window to the other side of the window. Very easy to do and very easy to take down once your landlord gets the curtain thing in order. 👍🏽
When I was 20 I went to the army, and I had my own room. It was the first time I was away from family. I got really lonely. When I moved back after my service, I ended up getting my own place a few years later. I get really lonely again but I know I had to do this for myself just to grow as a person
Hi Ava! Every person I know usually goes through some type of depression after moving. A lot changes fast and it takes a while to process. Be kind and patient with yourself. All of these feelings are perfectly normal. 💕
🍋Pro tip for cooking: look into mason jar meals. They are SO easy and just takes like 1 hour of meal prep to make like 5-10 meals. Some yummy ones are over night oats and jar salads. Lmk if you need other suggestions!
Could you do a video about the finance portion and how you budget? I think financial literacy is huge (totally not taught in many states and not mandated to be taught) and with your following you could inspire and educate so many people! Great job living on your own it’s a huge step!
You are so inspiring!! I am proud of you! Anf thank you for being real and showing the reality and thr hardness of moving out and not just the pink cloud. ❤️❤️ 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
We love you Ava!!! I moved out 5 months ago and it was definitely so hard!! Not only did I move into a new place but I love across the country! So I totally understand all of this!! 🤎🤍
Hey Ava, I think that a "Making My Apartment Feel Like Home" video would be a great idea, like finding tips and tricks to make your space comfortable! This could be lighting candles to add scent/warmth, cooking a homemade meal (family recipe), inviting people over, etc!
this seems like such a great idea ;)
yes you CAN. So proud of you for answering these questions and transitioning with such a positive and realistic attitude. I swear everyone needs to live alone at some point because you learn SO much even from the smallest hurdles you have to cross each day!
OMG hi Kiara! How funny running into you here! I love that you watch Ava too
No one talks about how hard it is leaving home as the last child. I felt so guilty leaving my parents behind!
Girl same!!
Just read a comment with almost the exact same wording hahah
I am the youngest and finally moving out and my parents have made me feel so bad, but sometimes we have to do what’s right for us in order to experience and learn new things as we grow older. It’s not like all of my siblings are gone either lol they still have the middle child and from what I know she’s not moving out any time soon!
🍋🍋🍋🍋
Make a video about it so you can start the conversation
I love your honesty and transparency. It can be scary making this big change but I think it’s apart of growing up. There’s ups and downs in all changes in life, you’ve got this girl ☺️💜💜
Omg I could never relate to something so much “I have to keep myself alive” literally when I first moved out it was sooo hard to feed myself but now I’m a 5 star chef and I’m living 💅🏾

i also just recently moved out by myself and it’s definitely hard and lonely. and i especially relate to having to control my impulse shopping lol! overall you got this girl and congrats on this big life accomplishment 🤍🍋
Been living alone for a couple years now. Loneliness comes in waves for sure. I’m a pretty independent person, but sometimes it’s hard coming home to an empty house (especially after a hard day). That being said, I’ve grown so much and learned a lot about myself! Have fun & enjoy this time!
So proud of you Ava!!🍋 These vlogs are the only thing getting me through.
I really love this corner! The chair, the lamp! maybe in the future a plant or maybe a poster. The ambiance is so calm
I absolutely love that you keep us informed in your life! As a high school junior, I definitely feel like seeing this process in a more realistic way calms me down for when I leave. Also, do u have any podcast recommendations?? Love from Colombia!🇨🇴❤️❤️❤️
Yes! Thank you for bringing up the sad parts of moving out, no one talks about it and it is sad a chapter is closing but also exciting a new one is beginning! 🍋
I started living alone this year at 17 and it's been a pretty amazing experience. Learning to enjoy your own company is so difficult but also fulfilling and although I have definitely felt lonely at times, I wouldn't change it for anything! Can't wait to watch more apartment vlogs! 💗💗
I am currently struggling with loneliness. I had to go back in person for college which meant moving 4 hours away. I have been going to bed crying and waking up crying. I am trying everything I can to get over this especially because I have already been through this my first year. I’m about to graduate in June which is why I’m so embarrassed for feeling like this. But after 2 years being home to a sudden shift to being alone at school is really difficult. Thank you for this video. I love watching and hearing you in the background which helps with the loneliness.
I never reply to comments usually, but I really connected with this one! I also am graduating college in June and moving back to school has been so hard this year. I always miss my family and my boyfriend (who still lives at home) and feel very lonely. I’ve been experiencing anxiety for the first time ever and it’s just really hard. I just keep reminding myself that June will be here sooner than I know it and that I can get through it!
I moved to a different country for a semester abroad and even though I feel comfortable here the thought of not seeing my family, friends, home until July is very scary. It feels like such a long time :(
Hey! Did you find that the loneliness eventually went away and you got used to it? I’m just wondering if you eventually get used to it or if it’s something that will always be there
Ava!!! i’m so happy u posted today… i’m so tired but u just gave me a bunch of energy thank you 💌🍋🍋🍋
So proud of you for living alone. Everyone should do it at least once in their life if they’re able to.
I’ve been loving these videos because it gives me an idea since I plan to move out after I graduate college. Thank you Ava for providing your experience 💛
As a 22-year-old that moved out at 18 and moved into a tiny house it is definitely a huge adjustment to life and adapting to being on your own but being on your own honestly it is one of the best feelings. So proud of you Ava
U can get tension rods for now, to put the curtains. It should even tho it’s long horizontally. ☺️
you’ve inspired me forever and I’m so proud of you for going into this next chapter of your life. ALSO 🍋🍋🍋
OMG I recognize myself so much in the first question, I lived alone for a few weeks in the summer at home and it's horrible to have no one in the morning or in the evening, it's really a difficult solitude for the morale. It pierces the soul.

But I am so happy for you Ava!! To be so blessed to live in Oahu is amazing and I hope you live your best life 🤍
When I first moved out to paris alone it was so scary but once I found a routine and a community I was the happiest I’ve ever been
100% agree. I felt the same when I moved to Spain
I’m kinda late but thank you for this. I feel like I’m on the right path right now. My whole mindset these past few years now has rapidly shifted since 15 and I'm also going to turn 18 next year so, I think that explains these changes in my life. Hoping for the best for all of us!!
i’ve been here for a few years now and seeing your growth has been so inspiring. i love these videos; i look forward to them always!
omg yes! i love talking and sitting down videos. i live on my own and i love just putting these on in the background 🍋
I found your channel recently and I’ve been binge watching all your videos. You’re beautiful; cute, funny, fun, radiate positive energy and I love it, new subscriber btw💙💙💙!
love this kind of sit down vid💞🍋
I’m so excited to move out!! I’m 20 and will be moving out this summer so I’ve been in love with all of your content lately! Keep it up girl you’re killin it ☺️🍋🍋
The way is the Hawaii is so funny & adorable, I love it!❤️💕💕
The moving vlogs are so good
Ikr I love them
I love having you make these videos bc I’m living alone at the same time u moved out and it’s cool to relate to someone.
A whole condo two bedrooms and two baths w a loft so far not bad and I lock all the doors and my bedroom door cause a girl is scared

Same with background noise😅 but I also like silence too.
I'm glad you're sharing this part of your journey. I just love your personality 🥺.🌼

when u go grocery shopping, try and find a bag of frozen tilapia, and some frozen broccoli (my live savior). u can thaw out the tilapia by putting it in a bold of cold/lukewarm water and letting it sit for like thirty minutes. during this time u can make some rice (i do 1 1/4 water for every cup of rice roughly) once the tilapia is thawed you can drizzle oil on it and season it (i use oldbay, cilantro, and adobo OR just salt, red cayenne pepper, paprika, and a sprinkle of curry powder) either put it on a pan over the stove or a tray in the oven. if its on the pan it should only take a few minutes to cook, if in the oven just leave it for like 25-35 minutes on 350. once its done cooking just let it rest and cool. now u can take a handful of the frozen broccoli, microwave it for a few minutes in 2 min intervals until its nice and soft. i put some butter with it so it melts, or just do salt or a splash of italian vinaigrette. and there u go! u can cut up some lemon and squeeze it over the fish to really bring out the flavors. its really simple and easy to get the hang of, and i feel great after eating it. simple recipes like this have really been a blessing, and i hope this may help u too! love u ava💓
I love how transparent u are, thank u for providing you're experience
omg ava please start a podcast i LOVED putting this video on in the background as i got ready for the day today!! would so listen to a podcast
I’m 20 years old, turning 21 in June and I have felt so embarrassed and self conscious living at home with my parents but Ava has helped me so much with realizing that there is no shame in waiting. She really showed us that it’s okay not to be ready to move out as soon as you hit adulthood. I feel so much comfort now that I know i’m not the only one who struggles with this ❤️🍋
I still feel lonely and get a lot of free time sitting in my apartment alone and thinking"what am I doing here alone". Such a comfort to know there's people feeling the same way. thank you for the video!!
This may sound crazy but on Etsy people sell hanging planters made out of disco balls and I think it would go GREAT In your space!! Also a record player with some vinyls!!
you are such an inspiration Ava! My roommate moved out a couple weeks ago and I’ve been living alone (in a sense) so it was really nice to hear your experience and advice and find some comfort in the fact that I’m not the only one who struggles with it. keep being your amazing self - I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!! 🍋🍋💜💜
I LOVE THIS LITTLE CORNER OF YOUR OFFICE AHHH i cant wait for the book videos in this space :,)
i think i'm moving out this fall and i'm so grateful for these videos
honestly, you're such an inspiration and so down to earth that i really aspire to have that kind of mindset when i have to move out
from living on my own i’ve learned a little hack to save money, I always use to cook for so many people so I kind of forgot i’m only feeding me now. so buy the bigger packs of chicken/ meat etc. and freeze them in feeezer bags so that you’re not constantly buying meats to cook! same with veggies/fruits. so much easier for when you thaw it out you don’t have to worry about food going bad
18:00 the fact that this is my main question i have in mind for ppl that live alone PLS
you answered my question :)) (are you comfortable with silence) I’m sure other people asked this, too!! but i wanted to ask you because you’ve said multiple times that you’re comfortable with yourself (and that’s something I’ve been working on) but the idea of “being comfortable with myself” in my head = being absolutely comfortable with silence. i really appreciate your answer that you are only comfortable with it sometimes!! bc me too and idk that helped clarify this absolute myth i made up in my head about being alone. so thank you!!
not me crying in the part she talked about being sad about leaving home
You can do this!💜
your moving videos have been so amazing, and make me so excited to move to an apartment when i am older. hope you have been enjoying living alone, and i love how you have been discussing the negative's of moving of living alone as well as the positives :)
Killing it! When I moved out 3 years ago 850 miles away from everyone I knew and loved it was WILD. I lost my job after only a month of living on my own and supporting myself. It was a JOURNEY but its crazy to look back and be like damn I got through all that on my own!
You should definitely redo this video in one year because I've lived on my own for five months and my thoughts really changed over the months
I’ve been saving up to buy a house for so long, but the Toronto housing market is such a mess😩 this advice talk was so useful for the future though.!!
queen is really glowing in this video, LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS we love you 🍋
🍋 Loved this! It’s so amazing to see you grow so much!
omg its literally been a month since I officially live alone, this video-. Thank you. genuinely, thank you. I feel the exact same
please please please do a video on your advice on renting for the first time- like a guide to renting/ things yuo wish you knew about renting, deposit, bills etc
this validated so much of my own experience in my new season of life. i have a partner but i don’t want to live with him and i tried to normalize it myself but hearing someone else normalize it out loud made me feel better about my choice. thank you Ava ❤️ so proud of you and happy for your new home!!!
Cannot recommend moving out enough! I was blessed to be able to stay at home through college, and then getting my own place (albeit with a roommate) was so so good for my growth as a person and learning responsibility. It can be scary but most things in life that worth doing are a little scary at first. I'm 30 and married now, and I'm so grateful for those years I lived out of my parents' house because it prepared me for taking care of my own home :)
awesome!! hope ur doing well
I absolutely love your interior decor style, it looks so cozy and comforting! Love your videos, they always brighten my day❤️🍋
I loved this video! It showed me that it's okay to wait until you're ready to move out which is very comforting. I hope you make long videos in the future! 🍋
🍋I love your videos so much they motivate me:)
🍋 loving this office corner setup :’) can’t wait to see how you decorate!
You are my comfort UA-camr! You give off such positive vibes & I love that you’re so real with everything. 🤍🍋
I felt it when I moved it out on my own in 2019 it was scary at first because I lived with younger siblings so everything is there at your nest and living with your parents makes things easier on you. When I left for the first couple of days it didn’t feel easy at all, but throughout it taught me to just appreciate yourself and grow, thanks for sharing your experience Ava. Have a great day day ❤️☺️
I just finished watching your old high school vlogs and I did not notice how adult you already are Ava!! independent bad b
There are curtain rods on Amazon/Target/Walmart that you can put on yourself without drilling holes. They’re usually for renters and you extend the poles from the inside of the window to the other side of the window. Very easy to do and very easy to take down once your landlord gets the curtain thing in order. 👍🏽
I just found your videos at the beginning of the move and I’m obsessed! You seem so genuine and I look forward to every Sunday and Wednesday!🍋
When I was 20 I went to the army, and I had my own room. It was the first time I was away from family. I got really lonely. When I moved back after my service, I ended up getting my own place a few years later. I get really lonely again but I know I had to do this for myself just to grow as a person
These videos are just amazing because it helps a lot of people out there, starting a new chapter in their lives!☺️
I could literally hear you talk about everything and nothing for hours!
I LOVE UR MOVING VLOGS AVA! I ALSO HOW THEY ARE SO LONG AND ENTERTAING. LOVE U AVA!~!
Hi Ava! Every person I know usually goes through some type of depression after moving. A lot changes fast and it takes a while to process. Be kind and patient with yourself. All of these feelings are perfectly normal. 💕
🍋Pro tip for cooking: look into mason jar meals. They are SO easy and just takes like 1 hour of meal prep to make like 5-10 meals. Some yummy ones are over night oats and jar salads. Lmk if you need other suggestions!
🍋 love a chill sit down video
Love your videos and how honest you are 🥰♥️ living alone can be lonely.
Could you do a video about the finance portion and how you budget? I think financial literacy is huge (totally not taught in many states and not mandated to be taught) and with your following you could inspire and educate so many people! Great job living on your own it’s a huge step!
You are so inspiring!! I am proud of you! Anf thank you for being real and showing the reality and thr hardness of moving out and not just the pink cloud. ❤️❤️ 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
We love you Ava!!! I moved out 5 months ago and it was definitely so hard!! Not only did I move into a new place but I love across the country! So I totally understand all of this!! 🤎🤍
