 Welcome to my new home. Hello you guys, welcome to my channel or welcome back to my channel. If you're new, don't forget to subscribe because I'm gonna be posting some good videos and there's gonna be a moving series, so hit that subscribe button. So in this video, I'm gonna be explaining a lot. I'm gonna be giving my new house tour and I feel like I just have a lot to explain since I just kinda came back from traveling and I didn't fill you guys in really. If you're new here, basically a few months ago I've posted a video and I explained that I am going to go traveling with my boyfriend Joel. We had gotten kicked out of our apartment since the landlord was moving in. So we ended up just taking that as a sign to pick up and travel. We sold like half of our stuff and we went traveling for like three months. So a lot of you guys are probably wondering why we're back and why we decided to stop traveling because in that video I was just gonna say how we're gonna do it indefinitely and we didn't really have a plan. We just kinda planned our first few months and then we were like, okay, it depends how we feel after this and what's gonna happen. Don't get me wrong, we loved Europe and it was like so amazing seeing, you know, different parts of the world in traveling but at the end of the day, we realized that we prioritized having a home base. We just really miss that sense of comfort and it's also really nice knowing that all of your belongings and all of your stuff is like in one place and there's really no place like home. Living in Airbnb's just didn't do it for us in that aspect and we really miss our friends, we really miss our family and most of all, honestly, we just missed having a home base and it's just really cozy and comfortable knowing that after every vacation, you just have a place to come back to and we had our parents' houses to come back to technically but it's not like it's the same, like it's not our own home base like we had our apartments. So what we're gonna be doing now going forward is we're gonna be still traveling while having this home base. So we're just gonna plan on going on more vacations and stuff like that instead of just living out of a suitcase because it gets exhausting, you kind of get burnt out from traveling and especially when you're living from a suitcase, it's like such a different type of lifestyle. Technically we were like luxury traveling, staying in Airbnb's, like we weren't staying in hostels or anything so it was pretty luxury but we just missed home, honestly and like we didn't have a car so we couldn't just like go anywhere whenever we wanted to. We had to rely on Uber's and it just like wasn't the same as being home. We just missed our daily routines. I'm a routine-oriented person and so is Joel and we just like thrive being together in our home base, thrive being in our routines and that's when like we manifest the most. We were just at our peak in that sense when we have our home base and so we just felt like we really missed that and although traveling was amazing and I would do it over and over again, I would just step into a new chapter of our life and what we realized is it's really important to go on more vacations because it kind of resets everything when you come back. If you're getting bored of your daily routines, I would really suggest to just like go on that, even like a couple of days like staycation or something and then once you come back you really appreciate your daily routine more and cause it's like easy to get kind of, I guess bored of your everyday life but if you like switch things up and go on vacation once in a while, if you can afford to do that, then it's really beneficial and like I think that's the part that we were lacking beforehand. So we definitely learned a lot from traveling, like there's so many things like we learned a lot. We got scammed a couple of times like so many things happened on this trip that taught us a lot and yeah, it's something we've always wanted to do is just like travel and go to your see the world. So yeah, so that's basically the explanation on why we stopped traveling. As for the apartment hunting, we really wanted to upgrade our space and get a bigger apartment than we last lived in. So our old apartment was a two bedroom, two bath. It was a brown like over 800 square feet and the only problem that there was with that apartment was there just was not enough storage for us both. Like I have a lot of clothes and we just kind of have a lot of belongings or at least like I just have a lot of stuff and there was very limited storage space in that place and it just felt like it came to a point where we just didn't know where to put anything. And so moving forward, we're like, oh my gosh and why don't we get like a house? I just feel like we can really grow into this space now and we did see a few apartments. I'll show them up on the screen right now. They were beautiful, don't get me wrong. We could definitely potentially see ourselves living in there but it just like wasn't doing it for us. Like it just didn't feel right getting another apartment that was the same layout, same core footage, same amount of storage. It just like didn't feel right and we knew that we kind of wanted to upgrade and we're just homebodies. Like at the end of the day, we are major homebodies and so we spent like 90% of our time at home and if we have the means to do it, I mean why not just get a bigger space? So we decided on this place and it's funny how it worked out because this is like a brand new complex here. When we saw the listing from one of them, we went to go see it and it was really beautiful. We applied and we actually didn't get it. We were really disappointed but then a few days later, this listing came up again but it was a different unit like in the same complex and we hopped on that. We were like, oh my gosh, like we please come see it right away. So we went to go see it right away, we applied and we got it. So at first we were just really discouraged because we were like, oh maybe it's not meant to be. We actually liked this house better than the last one because it's against the trees and everything so we have a really nice view of the forest on this side which is like so nice and that wasn't the case in the other place so everything's meant to be, everything happens for a reason so we were just kind of riding that wave but yeah, we landed in the perfect space and we're so happy and excited for this new chapter and yeah, we upgraded to a little house which is really exciting. Thank you so much for listening to this intro if you're still here with me and I'm so excited for this new chapter and thank you guys so much for your support constantly and get excited for the moving series. Yeah, we're just so happy to be here and grateful and excited to get back kind of like home or grind. So anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the video. Hello you guys. So first of all, I just wanna point out there is a bad eczema here happening on my neck. Don't mind that, it's really irritated right now and it's super red but besides the point I'm just trying to ignore it but anyways, so we are going today to go to Home Depot to get some boxes for the move because the boxes that we bought are in the recycling and we didn't save them because we had no idea we would be moving this soon again and we're just gonna kind of run a couple errands today like my car needs an oil change, tire change but there's a lot of moving stuff to today and it's gonna be a very productive day because I wanna get boxes and then I wanna start somewhat moving our kitchen stuff so if I can get a couple boxes packed today that will be huge and then we're gonna continue throughout this week just like packing but I'm gonna try to do it as slowly as possible we're not gonna move all in one day what we're gonna try to do is since we get the keys tomorrow we're gonna slowly move our stuff over because we can't actually live there and move in until Sunday because that's when the lease starts but she's just being nice to giving us the keys early so that we can order stuff there and just like, you know, move slow so that's what we're gonna be doing and yeah, damn, we already got the keys tomorrow I didn't even like realize that until I said it out loud but anyways, yeah, so that's the plan for today day one of moving, I guess you could say we have done nothing so far so wish us luck so we ended up coming to Canadian Tire instead of Home Depot just because it's more local so we didn't wanna drive all the way to Home Depot and we searched it up and they actually have moving boxes here so it's perfect I just don't know how many to get that's the thing, last time we were moving we underestimated how many boxes we would need and we had to actually come back which isn't the biggest deal but we kinda wanna try to do it all in one go but since we're waiting- Oh, we're driving back before today but yeah, I was gonna say we're probably gonna come back anyways but, okay, okay, get it okay, got the boxes and we are off, good to go they barely fit in there I also got some hubcaps for my car because mine fell off my parents loft this is like considered the room above the garage and we have like kinda like a little kitchen here so when me and Joel moved out of our apartment and into the house again before we traveled we actually just put our kitchen stuff in this kitchen because there wasn't really much in here so that's our sports and machine those are our containers and a lot of the things in this kitchen are me and Joel's so we need to repack everything from this kitchen so if you guys are confused like why we're packing up this kitchen and where this is this is in my parents' house but anyways, besides the point we need to pack up our kitchen stuff from here that is the first stage that we're gonna do I just wanna get the kitchen stuff out of the way since it's stuff that we don't really use right now anyways so let's get packing we just did a bunch of work and this is all our kitchen stuff basically in these boxes which is super nice and then on the side here we just have some stuff that didn't fit so we got the Nespresso machine, the juicer couple pans here and then just the juicer head but we're just thinking that we're gonna take these all separately and now put them in boxes just to make it easier and then we can save boxes that way yeah, I'm really happy everything fit into one, two, three, four, five, six boxes which is pretty nice so I feel really accomplished doing the kitchen and thankfully that is all done I'm finally just gonna call it a day because I'm so tired I'm honestly so sweaty and I need a good shower moving it takes it out of you like you would underestimate how much effort and energy it takes to move and pack and you also underestimate how much stuff that you have and then it takes you like double the time it's actually supposed to take you but yeah, I'm just like so tired and I deserve a self-care little night so I'm gonna take a shower and I'm so excited because TreeHut is actually sponsoring today's video and I'm gonna use their new Ocean Glow Collection so this is their Ocean Glow Sparkling Gel Wash this is body wash, that's the first step and the second step is exfoliate this is their She's Sugar Scrub and it makes my skin so smooth exfoliation is so important I feel like so many people look past it but I love TreeHut's exfoliants I've been honestly using them for such a long time but this trio you guys is magical the third step is moisturizer this is their Ocean Glow Whipped She Body Butter it makes my skin so soft and they come out of the shower and I just feel so fresh and I smell so good so these products actually include such good ingredients one of them being hyaluronic acid which really hydrates your skin and also boosts your skin's electricity another ingredient it includes is green micro algae and what this does is it moisturizes it improves your texture and tone also they include rainbow algae which brightens and it makes the skin just so luminous so I'm gonna go shower using these amazing products and if you guys wanna shop them you can click the link in my bio shop them at Ulta but yeah thank you so much to TreeHut for sponsoring today's video I cannot wait to shower again with these products because I deserve it after a long day of moving and there's so much more moving to come so I need to treat myself to a little spa experience so yeah, let's go shower there's a situation with my room I have stuff everywhere honestly because I never fully put everything away just because I knew that I'd be moving soon so I have a couple boxes here so I think right now I'm gonna unload my Alex nine drawer just to get that over with and put everything in boxes and then we'll just go from there officially starting my room just finished packing this drawer up Joel just brought the boxes to the car so now we're gonna bring this into the van and load it up okay guys so we are just on the way to go pick up the keys and then we're gonna do a walk through so as I said we're getting the keys a few days early so that we can start moving our stuff in which is really nice but we're not actually gonna move in until Sunday so it is day two of moving now technically since we started packing yesterday but as you can see we got a carload of stuff to bring in so at least we could get something done today but yeah we're really excited to do the walk through because I don't know we just get to see the house again which is really nice so excited to get the keys and it's such a beautiful day but yeah I'll update you guys here is the state of the garage if this isn't overwhelming you guys I don't know what is I am just so overwhelmed right now I know we're gonna do it and it's fine but like this just looks like so much stuff to bring all the way upstairs but it's okay it's gonna get done surely short but short what's that expression? not short but surely surely but what? surely but short baby yeah something like that anyways yeah this is the state of the garage but it's okay we're gonna get it done and if we have a garage that's true yeah this is really nice how it's like in the garage hidden so blessed and a little bit stressed oh hello there I didn't see you welcome to my new home I guess I'll give you tour while you're here so I mean come on in okay so when you walk in this is the front door right here and we get a little entrance way now which is really cool so this is actually the door to the garage which we're not gonna go in it's just basically a huge garage filled with boxes right now so that's just gonna stay shut but the garage is right here and then the entry door is right behind and then there's just stairs that go straight up okay so when you walk up the stairs you come right here and this is the dining room area so as you can see there's a pretty big space here for dining room table which is nice I was thinking of getting a circular table just because I feel like it's gonna fit this space really nicely if it's a circle since the island is already square I'm thinking of switching this up and putting a circular table but we'll see please let me know if you guys have any suggestions on how to furnish this place because I rarely bought anything yet so I'm gonna need some help but yeah we have some nice two windows here that look out to some nice trees and I really love how on the windows they're kind of old style and they have the cross like that it's kind of like a farmhouse vibe just what I really like it over here there's just a sliding door and we have a little balcony which I'm not gonna show you because I'm gonna try to be secretive of my location and then you turn over here and this is the half bath so you can take a look inside and then if you turn around directly in front of the bathroom there is a nice size closet in our apartment we had literally like our closet was this small like it was so tiny our co-closet so it's nice how we can like put shoe racks in here or something but it's just a nice extra space to have and then over here is the main event which is the kitchen this kitchen is so big you guys like the island I don't know if you can tell on camera but it is like probably like two of my armlets can fit across it like this is probably like a 10 foot maybe even 12 foot island it's huge so there's gonna be lots of cute recipe cooking videos I guess which is exciting but I really love just how the kitchen is sleek and modern and still kind of gives like a slight farmhouse vibe I love it like the window here how it's like the same style I was obsessed with the windows and this is the new everything in this house is new by the way like no one's ever lived in it so the appliances are brand new like there's stickers that are still inside the fridge which is just really cool and nice how everything is new also this place is 1500 square feet just for reference walk in the kitchen here you have the nice dishwasher the sink and then the stove I really like this great marble back splash I just like yeah how the cabinets are super sleek I'm pretty sure these are like the same exact cabinets we had in our apartment just like these white ones with no knobs I like how it's like seamless yeah and there's a bunch of storage like under the island here and then over here you walk into the living room so the couch is gonna be right against this corner we already ordered one and we're obsessed with it so hopefully that comes soon apparently it's gonna be kind of like a week so it's gonna go just against this wall here and then we're gonna put our rug with our coffee table and then the TV is gonna be mounted on this mat here and there's a nice cozy electric fireplace which is really nice to have and it's gonna be nice how we're gonna have the TV mounted cause in our apartment we never mounted it so yeah we already have a TV which is nice so basically the living room I already got everything for which is nice so that's already planned out but again I'm obsessed with these windows here how they just like outlook the forest and how they're just so firm style like I just love them and like the shape of them so cute and it's gonna look so aesthetic in here but yeah so this is the main living I guess area slash space it's so spacious and it just kind of seamlessly flows and I love how it's just so open concept but yeah so let's go upstairs cause this is three floors the first floor is the garage and the entryway and then second floor is the main living area and then third floor just like the bedroom and laundry and then two bathrooms this place is three beds, three baths by the way okay so then you walk in right from the stairs to the master bedroom and it's just like it's a pretty decent size honestly it's bigger than our one in our apartment like by a lot so at least you can like walk around the bed comfortably but we're just gonna keep the queen because it's not like huge so we were thinking about upgrading to a king but I honestly think it's gonna be most comfortable with the queen in here everything is carpeted which I don't mind at all because it kind of makes the space feel more cozy up here but anyway so you walk over here and this is like the master ensuite I think it's called but there's two closets this is the first one and then this is the second one which is really nice how there's two this one's a little bit bigger so we're gonna have to fight the closets but then you walk over here and this is the ensuite bathroom and I'm obsessed with this bathroom like the marble on the walls and on the floors is just so beautiful and I'm gonna install three or four I forget what kind of pack I got but I'm gonna install some acrylic shelves here for like skincare which will be really cute because these mirrors don't open but they do light up which is really nice and then there's just like lots of storage beneath the cabinets here and also under here which I'll probably get some cute bins or something and then on this side is just the shower which is really cute and I love how this marble is just like all throughout the bathroom so that is our nice master bath and then coming out of the master bedroom you walk down this hall and to the right you have the guest bath it's pretty nice I mean nothing like spectacular but we're gonna have to put a curtain potentially I'm probably just gonna mostly use this bathroom for like taking a bath but it would be nice to have a curtain just in case we have like guests also there's a couple of efficiencies like as you can see this door is kind of like, you know, nicked since this is a brand new place we're gonna have to like tell them all the deficiencies so that they can like fix them because everything's under warranty but anyways, so yeah there's really nice storage here which will be probably all overtaken with my products so and then right across the spare bath there is the laundry so full size laundry machines I was kind of hoping that there was gonna be like a separate laundry room just to have more space to store like cleaning products which there's not kind of sucks but I'd rather compromise that and have like an extra bedroom so it's whatever but cute nice little laundry up here and then right to the right of that this is one of the spare bedrooms this is gonna be Joel's office because the closet is a bit smaller in this one than it is in the other one so I'm gonna let him have creative freedom whatever he wants to do in this office because I'm basically designing our whole living area because he doesn't really care he mostly just wants it to look good so I'm kind of taking creative control of that you can have creative control of his office which is nice because we're each gonna have our own like separate bedrooms to design how we want like mine's gonna be a glam get ready with me room his is just gonna be an office so it's super nice how we each have our own space now and we can be like creative in our spaces rather than having to share that spare bedroom which it wasn't bad sharing like don't get me wrong but it's just really extra nice how we just have our own rooms but yeah anyway so you walk out and this is gonna be mine okay so let me know if you have any suggestions on what to do because I haven't really thought about this much like I've been looking on Pinterest but I'm still not sure what I wanna do with this room exactly yet but I want it to be my closet slash like get ready with me room so there's gonna be a lot of filming done in this room I'm gonna get changed in this room doing makeup like I want my jewelry out in this room so let me know down below what you think I should do like in terms of the layout of this room I'm thinking clothing rack but I don't even know definitely gonna be a vanity against the window here if you're coming so I'm definitely gonna put my vanity against the window but then as for these two walls I was thinking maybe like a mounted clothing rack I'm not sure what to do so please help me out and then maybe a dresser but I'm gonna need some help cause I'm not an interior designer I'm just like looking off Pinterest for ideas yeah I still have to think about this room but I'm so excited to have like my own room that I can just decorate however I want it's gonna be nice and then the closet is a bit bigger in this one so that's why I'm taking it but it's a nice like full-sized little closet for you know I have a lot of clothes so it's nice how there's like a lot of closets in this place but yeah so that's basically it and just to walk you through it again if you just go down this hall that's the master bed so there's just one bedroom on this side and then the two spare beds with the bathroom it's there but yeah so that is the empty house tour we're so excited that we have all this extra space to do so many cool things so like I said a million times please let me know down below if you guys have any ideas because I need them yeah we're so excited and we're so grateful thank you so much for watching this video that was the house tour I hope you guys enjoyed
