When you started describing that imaginary scenario of living in the terrace apartment and getting into petty fights with the guardian I just felt so seen - apartment hunting for me is also about imagining what my life could look like if I lived in all those different places… Makes me think about how much the environment can shape one’s life, and how fun, exciting (and a little scary!) that is. Good luck on your journey, I hope you find THE one (in your own time)✨
I got the best advice once about looking for a new apartment. It was my first time living on my own. I was worried if I could afford the rent by myself every month. Certain apartments I was looking at would have weird oddities about them. I was having all this anxiety and my boss at the time said, "Make sure you like where you live because you have to come home to it every day." That may seem like a simple statement but it blew my mind. Because I thought about if I was having the crappiest day of life at work and my car broke down and people were being rude all day and all I want to do is go home BUT, I got some weird apartment that I hate!!!! It was such a clear message that home should be your solace. So make sure you love where you live (and keep showing us your apartment hunting).
I feel the same Shayna, I like to live in a peaceful neighbourhood because then when I do fancy a big night out or a fun day, it feels like a treat to travel to the busy parts of town. (And then I get to retreat to my cosy quiet area when I need to chill!) I feel like comfort and safety are important when you live in such a big city.
im not letting you take that first apartment. no way are we about to be on a terrasse with a chaperone. number two? sure fine but i just wanna know how many people they had sittin on those couches at one time? that looked like a freaking school bus. shayna stay in your cute apt w the view of paris for now! you will find something else!!!
SHAYNA whatever that french song is that you sang at the piano - your voice is so beautiful if you could ever release that as a single (idk if it's a cover or not) I would be obsessed and listen constantly. It blew me away. Stunning vocals
i found your channel about 2 years ago and really wanted to follow in your footsteps with studying art abroad. I just accepted into an art college in italy and will be starting in october !!!! tysm for all that you’ve shared and for how much you’ve inspired me
it's powerful that you're exploring properties before definitely deciding to move allowing yourself to feel the energy of the spaces and let whatever needs to be - magic ✨
I love your vlogs, i discovered you two years ago and i have literally seen every single video you've put out. I go back and re-watch all the time and it completely lifts me up and changes my mindset
Watching your videos feels like learning how to self care better! I love that I get to watch these first thing in the morning! Sets the mood for my day ❤
The first apartment had redeeming qualities. Environment is essential, your current location is a majority pro, despite the space crunch and cost. Lots to consider- enjoying tagging along in your process. Thank you for sharing and I’m enjoying the new journal! Kudos madame.
You really inspire me and push me to be more creative. I appreciate all that you do and your vulnerability painting turned out SO GOOD. And those boots are darling. Much love, Shayna. 💜
YES! I love me some House Hunters, Paris. The more places you see, the better you'll know what you are looking for. Take your time and wait for that perfect place.
I loooved getting to see the apartments! "Guardian and me wars" would be a great Vlog Series title. And the Red carpet is a red flag for sure. I say NEVER SETTLE, Shayna! Especially when it comes to your HOME! I know the perfect apartment is out there for you! It's going to be affordable, in a neighborhood that makes you feel safe and calm at all times of the day, it's going to have a PRIVATE terrace so you can get your freak on with your friends and any lucky lads and so your kitty can use their litter box in peace out there, and it's going to be spacious, sacred, and inspiring for you!! Never!! Settle!! Can't wait for your new song ahhhhhhh!! 💖💖💖
Thanks Shayna...love the apartment hunting💝💝💝first one was the best ....but someone looking on the balcony...NO THANKS !! The music at end was heaven 😘
Loved this video!!!!! I’m aboard for the apartment hunting journey, I really liked the kitchen tiles in the 19th apartment! Also that bathtub is a win girl :) but keep looking !!!!!!
i think I liked the first apartment best but honestly the whole video I just kept thinking “but I like her current apartment better than both” hahah and “aw I’m gonna miss seeing the 5th” so it worked out great for me😂 it’s so true how important your environment is and I’m glad at least for now you can stay in the arrondissement that feels best 🍓🤍😊
I like the first apartment you viewed, because it looked neat, tidy and clean, plus it has a bathtub, which I am dreaming of having. And the little terrace looked cool too. You deserve it sis.
I remember La bom!! I was that when I was living in France when I was small ... This brings back memories! ... Thank you!! I love how you describe things!! So much insight and freshness ... I love when we allow ourselves to get lost in our imagination ....
Please take us on more apartment visits! I just love seeing interiors haha and the first apartment has my vote, but I would check out a few more. What you want is out there 😊💜 ps can’t wait for the new song!
Location location location. Soooo important business the energy is both outside and inside. I adore seeing you looking at new places and taking us with you. Thank you so much.
I get what you mean about the terrace - it's gorgeous - and the apartment itself was super cute, but I got the feeling listening to you describe the downsides that the window would prevent you from being able to fully relax while out there, or fully enjoy parties, sunbathing, recording videos, etc. The distance to the center also seems like maybe would make sense to look at the suburbs and try to get a garden if you're that far out. I live in a city where time is of the essence with the rental market and landlords often force your hand within a few hours, making the whole thing unfairly chaotic and stressful. There will always be more places out there that "click" with you and suit your list, or even some that surprise you for their charm despite not checking off every box. But ultimately, if your gut tells you to go with this place - believe yourself and your intuition. xx
Watched this whole thing while drawing, actually very realxing :) I would say choose the apartment your're most drawn to, find somewhere calm and peacful love you!!
Thank you for taking us on your apartment hunting..I am so glad that you are going to keep looking! You always go with your intuition and neither apartment felt right! The first one was cute but ground floor and that guardian window? Big no! You would always feel like you are being watched! The second apartment was too small and did have good energy..looked dirty..and that area? Cat calls..and not feeling comfortable walking at night? Definitely not for you. You are always so upbeat and energetic and those places didn't feel like you at all! Ps..I loved how you wore a suit under your coat! Looking forward to your next video.❤️
Loving this apartment hunting. Yes, please...keep taking us along! It's a learning experience and I'm very curious. I'd love to know how much these apartments are in comparison to where I live in NYC. The rents are so high here. I think that terrace looked wonderful, but it would be a "no" for me with the guardian's window. I value my privacy too much. I would always be wondering if he was watching or not and that would not be good for my anxiety! A few years ago, I did the same and realized that I am in love with my neighborhood...also calm and quiet--which means so much living in a big busy city. Let the new place find you and keep putting out the high vibes by going to look and getting acquainted with the process. Looking forward to more!
I'd love to see more appartment hunting vlogs! I love it and it's nice to imagine which one I would get and how I would decorate and such x) The first appartment was my fave for sure! :D
Tuesday can happen now that I’ve had my hang out sesh with our Paris girl.💖.. Shayna, you bring cool to a whole new level!!😎 Thanks for being you and sharing your refreshing, inspiring journey! 😘🙏🎵🍷 I think your intuition was warning you about the guardian spying on you on the terrace of 1st apartment .... I felt it too...not paranoid here, just listening to intuition
I liked neither of the two apartments, I don't think you did either. Being in a safe neighborhood is so important also as you get older. Being calm is good. I'd say keep looking in the 5th where you love to be. It will take longer, but just get your manifestation tools out, girlfriend. There is an apartment out there with your name on it in the 5th. 😊
I'm with you on the first apt with the terrace,and the creepy window lol.But so great to take your time and explore different places and vibes I know will find your next magical spot.I love watching you go to different apts and areas,it helps me get to know Paris.Merci ✨💞😘⚘☕☕🍮
I am apartment hunting right now and this is such a vibe! I love seeing them and hearing your thoughts so much, gives me a new perspective on my own journey xxxx
i always resonate with so much you say! loved when you spoke about making decisions from fear and not love. also i laughed out loud when you were talkng about the terrace and the window situation and "lack of privacy" in the event of a lover hahah
New here. Made it to the end, without speeding up the video 😁 -even though that was my intention to do so. 30 minutes felt like 5. Was watching a lot of chateau videos and then found your channel. You must of lived in a French chateau in your past life. The first apartment has potential. From what I can tell, your artsy style would definitely liven up the place. Maybe keep on searching until your heart melts when you find a place that makes you feel anxious to sign the lease. Have a Merry Christmas. 🎄🌟 🇫🇷
Hi shayna hope I’m not spelling your name wrong but I just want to say I love your channel and you obviously and you have definitely taught me more about art and what it truly means to be creative and learning to accept that creativity. As artists I think we can really learn a lot from each other and love each other❤ but with that being said, I love your spirit and soul it’s so pure and awesome 🤩. And I loveeeeeed your singing clip it was so amazing to hear and that note that you hit was beautiful. I hope you find your dream apartment and many more blessings to you😊. Love You Girl ❤ - My Visuals 🥹🥰🦋🤍
A place on the bottom floor/ground floor would be a hard no for me. And the potential of someone bothering me like the guardian would just stress me out. My place I have now I feel was meant for me. I was supposed to go see it but I was going away on holiday so I missed it. When I got back there was another viewing of it that I was called to because I had been on the previous list of viewers. I saw it and I couldn't say no to it because it was so great and fulfilled all my big criteria, even though I had fantasized about a place that was somewhat different. I've now lived here for 16 years and I still love it.
Oh you are right next to me! My favourite boulangerie in Crimee is boulangerie Pauline, if you are looking for recommendations. Buttes Chaumont is 20min walk, I do that alot! I wouldn't recommend walking at night around the canal (lots of sketchy characters) , but it improved in the last few months since they increased police presence around the canal. Otherwise it's lovely around there in summer.
One thing that i also like to do is to go there late.... as late as i can with friends and try to either go for a walk around the place to see the vibe and especially how safe it is. I'd go into a nearby bar/ restaurant / grocery stores. It's fun but also gives me an idea about how daily life is actually going to be there. In my humble opinion, the guardian's window would be a no no but it also depends how often the person is there. He might just use it for light instead of looking out of it. You can even get something that u could put as a barrier if you have friends over (especially at night i dont think he would care as long as u're not covering the window but just putting a barrier that would hide the terrace for the night. But if you are not feeling it, you still have a year ahead. thank you for sharing tho
Yes, that guardian window sucks. I used to live in an unusual appartement in London that looked and walked into the landlord's garden, and he could see in my living-room passing by to go to his garage (below my bedroom). It was cheaper than usual prices because a badly isolated converted hangar, so very drafty in winter and too hot in summer in the bedroom, but it was cheap and very quaint. Hated the proprio curieux though. It had pluses and minuses.When he went away for un tour du monde, it was handy to pay the rent late, when I was struggling. He was too busy travelling to check and telling me off! Safety is very important. I chose where I live now looking at how I felt about it and safety/closeness to a train station. I chose it because I fell in love with it at first sight and also the garden that I can see from the bedroom and kitchen. And I have the best neighbour ever downstairs. I'm so lucky. i'm very connected to my garden's trees. I adore them and get to admire them even more than in the past, as I now teach online 90%. Thanks for sharing. Une Française à Londres, bisous!
Blue Star! that is a beautiful sign. One for me too. Once, during a QHHT session i saw a big blue star, and muchhh more, and then the word Maia was ringing in my mind. at the time i didnt realize Maia is a blue star in Pleiades. one of the 7 sisters. That was a cool experience. 💫 i appreciate you 🙏⚛️
Love apartment hunting with you! Would love to live in Paris so you are doing the leg work for me showing me around 😄 First one with the terrace definitely the pick of the 2, even with the weird sleeping cupboard?? Great vlog 🥰
Easy fix (if you really love the space) you could but a semi-tall fake tree in pot a few inches away from that window, or a cool large cloth that will drape...so many ideas if you really LOVE the space...but have faith one youtuber I watch had to do 14 spaces and the 14th one was it...(neither apartment but...)
I was in a similar non privacy situation, I ended up hanging plants right in front of the window so that there would be less visibility! Could potentially work for that place! Follow your gut :)
I love the Horse piece ..it actually feels Magical and inbetween Worlds...and I heard warning bells go off when You talked about the first one .... the second one felt creepy vibes inside and out
If you have the chance to remain in the 5th and find a place that's also bigger so you can get more comfortable in your own space, I would really love that for you
Amazing I did a painting that looks reminds me so much of your makeup look with the blue under your eyes I would love to send you a picture of it so you can see it it's so cool reminds me so much of your makeup look right now love you you are awesome thank you for everything that you put out there
hi, fun vlog. we will be starting our apartment hunting soon, january 2023 but in the past we have always had to have a dossier prepared, is that not the case anymore in Paris? i would love to just check out apartments that we would be interested in but it can be so stressful getting all the documents in order. Good luck. i didnt hear you mention whether your lease was up or you just want to change places. Thank you
I love u! Thank u fit sharing this journey with us. I try not to spread negativity but I felt like I had to tell u something doesn’t feel right to me about that first apt. I can’t put my finger on it but it is off
I see how much your current neighborhood gives you. You have access to so much- you love your community and culture, you love your friends and have access to a lifestyle that makes you happy- I'm unsure why you would want to visualize yourself in a self declared worse area? You mentioned it was an hour away from where you are currently set up and even mentioned moving to the suburbs- it all seems really out of character? You would be cut off or have to give out a tremendous amount of energy to participate in the life you are currently living- unless your goal is to start from scratch? Only you know the behind the scenes- hoping all is well and that your heart continues to radiate abundance. Sending 💕
Maybe a different apartment in the first complex you visited will be available by the time you're looking to move or maybe the guardian will be okay with putting up a curtain on your side of the window.
Would you consider the 15eme? It’s the arrondissement where regular Parissenes live…it’s calm and has easy access to everywhere walking or by metro. It’s so NOT touristy that it’s overlooked…while being near everything, great parks, cafes, etc. I have always wondered if you’re related to Paul Klee…please clarify. How cool would that be?
I liked the first one obvi a bit better - but I think am a proponent of living in the neighborhood you want and sacrificing criteria for the apt, not the other way around. :0 that said -- stay in left bank bby!! (also I placed your new book on my xmas list so will be supporting soon) ❤
I live in a less desirable part of Berlin (Moabit) in the most amazing little apartment with a balcony overlooking the whole city. I can watch the sunrise every morning. It takes me like 45 minutes to get to the part of town where most of my friends live, but I don't mind one bit! I feel like a princess in the little light-flooded top of a tower and even after 5 years and a hefty spike in rent, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Definitely apartment #1. Cute backsplash in the kitchen, nice terrace. Didn’t love the bed in the closet, or the neighborhood. Way better than no heat and ugly red carpet though😂😂
When you started describing that imaginary scenario of living in the terrace apartment and getting into petty fights with the guardian I just felt so seen - apartment hunting for me is also about imagining what my life could look like if I lived in all those different places… Makes me think about how much the environment can shape one’s life, and how fun, exciting (and a little scary!) that is. Good luck on your journey, I hope you find THE one (in your own time)✨
aww I love everything about this! I feel so seen haha
I got the best advice once about looking for a new apartment. It was my first time living on my own. I was worried if I could afford the rent by myself every month. Certain apartments I was looking at would have weird oddities about them. I was having all this anxiety and my boss at the time said, "Make sure you like where you live because you have to come home to it every day." That may seem like a simple statement but it blew my mind. Because I thought about if I was having the crappiest day of life at work and my car broke down and people were being rude all day and all I want to do is go home BUT, I got some weird apartment that I hate!!!! It was such a clear message that home should be your solace. So make sure you love where you live (and keep showing us your apartment hunting).
I feel the same Shayna, I like to live in a peaceful neighbourhood because then when I do fancy a big night out or a fun day, it feels like a treat to travel to the busy parts of town. (And then I get to retreat to my cosy quiet area when I need to chill!)
I feel like comfort and safety are important when you live in such a big city.
Yes I live in the countryside so travelling to the city is very exciting and fun
im not letting you take that first apartment. no way are we about to be on a terrasse with a chaperone. number two? sure fine but i just wanna know how many people they had sittin on those couches at one time? that looked like a freaking school bus. shayna stay in your cute apt w the view of paris for now! you will find something else!!!
SHAYNA whatever that french song is that you sang at the piano - your voice is so beautiful if you could ever release that as a single (idk if it's a cover or not) I would be obsessed and listen constantly. It blew me away. Stunning vocals
I AGREE 100%. If anyone knows if it's a cover or not, pls let us know
i found your channel about 2 years ago and really wanted to follow in your footsteps with studying art abroad. I just accepted into an art college in italy and will be starting in october !!!! tysm for all that you’ve shared and for how much you’ve inspired me
YOU INSPIRE ME SO MUCH TO BE AUTHENTIC AND TRUE TO MYSELF!!,
KEEP IT UP QUEEN💖💖💖
it's powerful that you're exploring properties before definitely deciding to move allowing yourself to feel the energy of the spaces and let whatever needs to be - magic ✨
I love your vlogs, i discovered you two years ago and i have literally seen every single video you've put out. I go back and re-watch all the time and it completely lifts me up and changes my mindset
im so happy you're here!
Loved this!! I liked the first one but I have a feeling there’s better to come for you! No rush. Lots of love.
💜💟💜
I think so too! thanks for the encouragement :)
Definitely would love to see more of your apartment hunting! Satisfies my deep need to nose around other places, especially in beautiful Paris
Watching your videos feels like learning how to self care better! I love that I get to watch these first thing in the morning! Sets the mood for my day ❤
The first apartment had redeeming qualities. Environment is essential, your current location is a majority pro, despite the space crunch and cost. Lots to consider- enjoying tagging along in your process. Thank you for sharing and I’m enjoying the new journal! Kudos madame.
You really inspire me and push me to be more creative. I appreciate all that you do and your vulnerability painting turned out SO GOOD. And those boots are darling. Much love, Shayna. 💜
thanks so much Stephanie!
YES! I love me some House Hunters, Paris. The more places you see, the better you'll know what you are looking for. Take your time and wait for that perfect place.
I recommend to keep looking. First apartment had low light. Your current apartment has way more light. The cons are not worth it.
oh your horse painting is so beautiful!! I would love to buy prints of it. It captures pure and encompassing emotion.
The swipe door in front of the bed reminded me of Howl checking on Sophie when she’d sleep in a bed like that. What a dream ❤
I loooved getting to see the apartments! "Guardian and me wars" would be a great Vlog Series title. And the Red carpet is a red flag for sure. I say NEVER SETTLE, Shayna! Especially when it comes to your HOME! I know the perfect apartment is out there for you! It's going to be affordable, in a neighborhood that makes you feel safe and calm at all times of the day, it's going to have a PRIVATE terrace so you can get your freak on with your friends and any lucky lads and so your kitty can use their litter box in peace out there, and it's going to be spacious, sacred, and inspiring for you!! Never!! Settle!! Can't wait for your new song ahhhhhhh!! 💖💖💖
OOhh I love this series. I think its helpful to see what paris is actually like. I like the first one, but def listen to your intuition.
Thanks Shayna...love the apartment hunting💝💝💝first one was the best ....but someone looking on the balcony...NO THANKS !! The music at end was heaven 😘

The thumbnail made me realize how much you resemble Eva Green! 💗
I'd love to see more appartment hunting vlogs! I love it and it's nice to imagine which one I would get and how I would decorate and such x) The first appartment was my fave for sure! :D
Life equals ART = Eternal unfinished business :)
i would love to see more apartment hunting content!
the first appartement was my favorite. you should definitely get a kitty, too!! ✨💕
Tuesday can happen now that I’ve had my hang out sesh with our Paris girl.💖.. Shayna, you bring cool to a whole new level!!😎 Thanks for being you and sharing your refreshing, inspiring journey! 😘🙏🎵🍷
I think your intuition was warning you about the guardian spying on you on the terrace of 1st apartment .... I felt it too...not paranoid here, just listening to intuition
21:52 I honestly need the whole version of this song... this melody and your voice are so angelic
I liked neither of the two apartments, I don't think you did either. Being in a safe neighborhood is so important also as you get older. Being calm is good. I'd say keep looking in the 5th where you love to be. It will take longer, but just get your manifestation tools out, girlfriend. There is an apartment out there with your name on it in the 5th. 😊
Omg the glitter in your hair is so magical 5:16 ✨
OMG those boots!😎💖
Absolutely stoked to see this video was up while I was making my coffee this morning. thank you
I like the first apartment and love what you are doing for yourself
Great painting finds from the flea market!
thanks! I think so too!
I'm with you on the first apt with the terrace,and the creepy window lol.But so great to take your time and explore different places and vibes I know will find your next magical spot.I love watching you go to different apts and areas,it helps me get to know Paris.Merci ✨💞😘⚘☕☕🍮
J'ai tellement d'amour pour cette chaine ! ❤
silk pillow case! does the face wonders
I am apartment hunting right now and this is such a vibe! I love seeing them and hearing your thoughts so much, gives me a new perspective on my own journey xxxx
i always resonate with so much you say! loved when you spoke about making decisions from fear and not love. also i laughed out loud when you were talkng about the terrace and the window situation and "lack of privacy" in the event of a lover hahah
Shayna I love your videos so much!!!!!!! Your journal is #1 on my Christmas list and I am so so excited !!! I love you
New here. Made it to the end, without speeding up the video 😁 -even though that was my intention to do so. 30 minutes felt like 5. Was watching a lot of chateau videos and then found your channel. You must of lived in a French chateau in your past life. The first apartment has potential. From what I can tell, your artsy style would definitely liven up the place.

Hi shayna hope I’m not spelling your name wrong but I just want to say I love your channel and you obviously and you have definitely taught me more about art and what it truly means to be creative and learning to accept that creativity. As artists I think we can really learn a lot from each other and love each other❤ but with that being said, I love your spirit and soul it’s so pure and awesome 🤩. And I loveeeeeed your singing clip it was so amazing to hear and that note that you hit was beautiful. I hope you find your dream apartment and many more blessings to you😊. Love You Girl ❤

Your safety is key😉
such good vibes
I would stay in the 5th if possible. Favorite area in Paris. The 4th would be my next pick. Good luck in your search!

Yes, that guardian window sucks. I used to live in an unusual appartement in London that looked and walked into the landlord's garden, and he could see in my living-room passing by to go to his garage (below my bedroom). It was cheaper than usual prices because a badly isolated converted hangar, so very drafty in winter and too hot in summer in the bedroom, but it was cheap and very quaint. Hated the proprio curieux though. It had pluses and minuses.When he went away for un tour du monde, it was handy to pay the rent late, when I was struggling. He was too busy travelling to check and telling me off! Safety is very important. I chose where I live now looking at how I felt about it and safety/closeness to a train station. I chose it because I fell in love with it at first sight and also the garden that I can see from the bedroom and kitchen. And I have the best neighbour ever downstairs. I'm so lucky. i'm very connected to my garden's trees. I adore them and get to admire them even more than in the past, as I now teach online 90%. Thanks for sharing. Une Française à Londres, bisous!
Blue Star! that is a beautiful sign. One for me too. Once, during a QHHT session i saw a big blue star, and muchhh more, and then the word Maia was ringing in my mind. at the time i didnt realize Maia is a blue star in Pleiades. one of the 7 sisters. That was a cool experience. 💫 i appreciate you 🙏⚛️
apartament 1 but also wait it out, there might be something even better coming
Love apartment hunting with you! Would love to live in Paris so you are doing the leg work for me showing me around 😄 First one with the terrace definitely the pick of the 2, even with the weird sleeping cupboard?? Great vlog 🥰
Easy fix (if you really love the space) you could but a semi-tall fake tree in pot a few inches away from that window, or a cool large cloth that will drape...so many ideas if you really LOVE the space...but have faith one youtuber I watch had to do 14 spaces and the 14th one was it...(neither apartment but...)
I was in a similar non privacy situation, I ended up hanging plants right in front of the window so that there would be less visibility! Could potentially work for that place! Follow your gut :)
Thanks for sharing!
I agree, follow your gut. I asked my mum to make curtains to hide my living-room from landlord's garden that was in front of it.
I love the Horse piece ..it actually feels Magical and inbetween Worlds...and I heard warning bells go off when You talked about the first one .... the second one felt creepy vibes inside and out
Thanks for showing us the apts. Shayna. Go for safety and calm I say! Cheers and keep on looking. And yes, a cat would be lovely!
Adorable coffee cups. What’s the name of seller?
I luv old Paris to.🤗
But I could see u living in the appartment in the 19th . 🎨
GirL you’ll find something more ideal than that first place
If you have the chance to remain in the 5th and find a place that's also bigger so you can get more comfortable in your own space, I would really love that for you
Amazing I did a painting that looks reminds me so much of your makeup look with the blue under your eyes I would love to send you a picture of it so you can see it it's so cool reminds me so much of your makeup look right now love you you are awesome thank you for everything that you put out there
hi, fun vlog. we will be starting our apartment hunting soon, january 2023 but in the past we have always had to have a dossier prepared, is that not the case anymore in Paris? i would love to just check out apartments that we would be interested in but it can be so stressful getting all the documents in order. Good luck. i didnt hear you mention whether your lease was up or you just want to change places. Thank you
I love u! Thank u fit sharing this journey with us. I try not to spread negativity but I felt like I had to tell u something doesn’t feel right to me about that first apt. I can’t put my finger on it but it is off
The apartment tour was great 👍 Though the neighborhoods weren't ideal, apartment 1 was nice with the outdoor space.
First one for sure! It has a bathtub!! The second one seems stale lol
When I saw the blue tiles in the first kitchen i was 100 % sold on it tbh 😅
I see how much your current neighborhood gives you. You have access to so much- you love your community and culture, you love your friends and have access to a lifestyle that makes you happy- I'm unsure why you would want to visualize yourself in a self declared worse area? You mentioned it was an hour away from where you are currently set up and even mentioned moving to the suburbs- it all seems really out of character? You would be cut off or have to give out a tremendous amount of energy to participate in the life you are currently living- unless your goal is to start from scratch? Only you know the behind the scenes- hoping all is well and that your heart continues to radiate abundance. Sending 💕
i love the 19th
I feel like when you see the perfect next apartment, you will know with your whole body, ya know?
Maybe a different apartment in the first complex you visited will be available by the time you're looking to move or maybe the guardian will be okay with putting up a curtain on your side of the window.
Your Hair looks Gorgeous in this Video! Natural, & Gorgeous! 👍😁💜💕
You sing all I hear is an angel
Would you consider the 15eme? It’s the arrondissement where regular Parissenes live…it’s calm and has easy access to everywhere walking or by metro. It’s so NOT touristy that it’s overlooked…while being near everything, great parks, cafes, etc. I have always wondered if you’re related to Paul Klee…please clarify. How cool would that be?
When I was leaning to speak French in Middle School in the US, we had to watch La Boum in class.
Please do share your appartment views and any tips to pass on. Thank you
what song were you playing at the convent? that was beautiful:(
I liked the first one obvi a bit better - but I think am a proponent of living in the neighborhood you want and sacrificing criteria for the apt, not the other way around. :0 that said -- stay in left bank bby!! (also I placed your new book on my xmas list so will be supporting soon) ❤
I totally agree!
and thank you!!!
I live in a less desirable part of Berlin (Moabit) in the most amazing little apartment with a balcony overlooking the whole city. I can watch the sunrise every morning. It takes me like 45 minutes to get to the part of town where most of my friends live, but I don't mind one bit! I feel like a princess in the little light-flooded top of a tower and even after 5 years and a hefty spike in rent, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
nice!
Definitely apartment #1. Cute backsplash in the kitchen, nice terrace. Didn’t love the bed in the closet, or the neighborhood. Way better than no heat and ugly red carpet though😂😂
