0:00:13.666,0:00:16.066
Before we jump into the apartment tour,

0:00:16.066,0:00:19.466
I wanted to talk a little bit about my own financial journey[br]

0:00:19.466,0:00:22.666
and how financial literacy has helped me

0:00:22.666,0:00:25.533
through big life stage changes from graduating from college

0:00:25.533,0:00:27.533
to moving into my own place in LA.

0:00:27.533,0:00:30.800
I’ve been financially independent for the past few years now

0:00:30.800,0:00:34.666
thanks to you guys and your support for my social media platforms <3

0:00:34.666,0:00:37.900
and with financial independence comes the freedom

0:00:37.900,0:00:39.733
to use my money however I want to,

0:00:39.733,0:00:42.933
but there’s also a greater sense of responsibility

0:00:42.933,0:00:45.133
to make sure that I use my money wisely

0:00:45.133,0:00:48.366
and that I’m budgeting my expenses accordingly.[br]

0:00:48.366,0:00:50.633
and that I’m budgeting my expenses accordingly.

0:00:50.633,0:00:52.400
is still a relatively new concept,

0:00:52.400,0:00:55.733
it’s especially important for me to be aware of exactly

0:00:55.733,0:00:57.966
where and how I’m choosing to spend my money.

0:00:57.966,0:01:00.433

0:02:08.533,0:02:10.800
Now, let’s move on to the apartment tour.

0:02:10.800,0:02:14.300
[The kitchen]

0:02:14.300,0:02:16.333
Okay, so this is my front door.

0:02:16.333,0:02:19.366
I keep all of my shoes in my bathroom, which I'll show you in a bit,

0:02:19.366,0:02:21.666
but these are my commonly worn shoes.

0:02:21.666,0:02:25.100
And then, there's an outlet that I didn't know I had.

0:02:25.100,0:02:25.866
Good to know.

0:02:25.866,0:02:28.500
Here, I have this light switch by the door

0:02:28.500,0:02:30.266
that turns that light on.

0:02:30.266,0:02:31.533
This is my fridge.

0:02:31.533,0:02:32.700
Is it clean enough (to show you)?

0:02:32.700,0:02:33.666
Okay, it's not that bad.

0:02:33.666,0:02:35.633
This is what my fridge currently looks like.

0:02:35.633,0:02:37.666
It's so empty on the bottom.

0:02:37.666,0:02:40.800
This is a huge jar of cream cheese.

0:02:40.800,0:02:44.233
And then, in the freezer, I have bagels,

0:02:44.233,0:02:46.600
some garlic toast, ice cream, etc.

0:02:46.600,0:02:50.900
Here's a water filter/ice dispenser built into the fridge.

0:02:50.900,0:02:55.966
I don't really use this because I think the filter inside is dirty.

0:02:55.966,0:02:59.066
There's like weird debris floating around in the water.

0:02:59.066,0:03:02.900
I have a filter over there that I use to filter my water.

0:03:02.900,0:03:04.966
Right next to the fridge, I have this toaster.

0:03:04.966,0:03:08.833
I always toast my bagels on level 6 (no one asked).

0:03:08.833,0:03:12.300
Here, I keep extra bags for whenever I go grocery shopping.

0:03:12.300,0:03:15.100
And I also keep my masks [here].

0:03:15.100,0:03:17.600
And then, here is where I keep my pots and pans.

0:03:17.600,0:03:19.000
Here's my stove.

0:03:19.000,0:03:22.133
I only really use this stove.

0:03:22.133,0:03:25.266
But I have 4 just in case.

0:03:25.266,0:03:28.000
And then, there's an oven that i have yet to use.

0:03:28.000,0:03:31.100
So here, I keep some oils, salt and pepper.

0:03:31.100,0:03:34.133
On the top, I have some electrolyte drink mix,

0:03:34.133,0:03:35.633
I have soy milk here.

0:03:35.633,0:03:36.933
I have some pain killers.

0:03:36.933,0:03:39.400
Moving on, here I have my dishwasher.

0:03:39.400,0:03:44.366
And then, on top of this countertop I have this indoors lettuce garden.

0:03:44.366,0:03:46.400
All of these are different types of lettuce

0:03:46.400,0:03:49.066
and I've been using this to eat salads.

0:03:49.066,0:03:51.900
This is like my main source of veggies in my diet.

0:03:51.900,0:03:55.100
Above the garden, I have this cabinet.

0:03:55.100,0:03:59.500
This is where I keep all of my snacks and yummy stuff.

0:03:59.500,0:04:03.400
So, I have instant noodles. I have cereal.

0:04:03.400,0:04:08.300
Some korean snacks, probiotic gummies...

0:04:08.300,0:04:09.833
Here is my sink.

0:04:09.833,0:04:12.266
Underneath my sink, I have more soy milk.

0:04:12.266,0:04:16.200
I have some wipes and more instant noodles.

0:04:16.200,0:04:18.033
I have an espresso machine.

0:04:18.033,0:04:20.466
I have some extra masks laying around.

0:04:20.466,0:04:23.300
I have my keys here, my wallet,

0:04:23.300,0:04:26.833
my morning matcha, some peanuts.

0:04:26.833,0:04:30.100
This is where I keep all of my plates and cups.

0:04:30.100,0:04:33.966
I'm very much a minimalist when it comes to the number of plates I have.

0:04:33.966,0:04:36.166
Each one of these has its own purpose,

0:04:36.166,0:04:38.133
and I only have one of each.

0:04:38.133,0:04:42.533
I have a cocktail mixer in the back that I have never properly used before.

0:04:42.533,0:04:45.000
I have this cute bear cup.

0:04:45.000,0:04:48.900
I like to use this for my coffee cuz it fits perfectly like that.

0:04:48.900,0:04:49.966
Isn't that cute?

0:04:49.966,0:04:53.633
Up there, I keep my coffee. This is vanilla syrup.

0:04:53.633,0:04:57.500
I have more mugs, cups, water bottles.

0:04:57.500,0:04:59.933
That top shelf is pointless because I can't reach it.

0:04:59.933,0:05:05.200
Literally in all of these cabinets the top shelf is empty.

0:05:05.200,0:05:07.300
This is where I keep my utensils.

0:05:07.300,0:05:10.700
They're not really organized in any way. It's just where they fit.

0:05:10.700,0:05:17.400
And then, napkins, wipes, sauce for my McNuggets lol

0:05:17.400,0:05:21.433
This is where I keep my trash bags, saran wrap,

0:05:21.433,0:05:23.766
coffee, ziploc bags...

0:05:23.766,0:05:28.933
And then here, more trash bags, manuals for the furniture

0:05:28.933,0:05:31.466
And then here, more trash bags, manuals for the furniture

0:05:31.466,0:05:33.700
Well, that's pretty much my kitchen area.

0:05:33.700,0:05:39.100
[The living room/Bedroom]

0:05:39.100,0:05:42.133
Right over here, I have the tiniest trash can.

0:05:42.133,0:05:45.033
It's literally the size of my hand.

0:05:45.033,0:05:47.333
This trash can fills up so quickly,

0:05:47.333,0:05:51.000
but I also don't want to have a bigger trash can,

0:05:51.000,0:05:53.600
so I just kinda live with this at the moment.

0:05:53.600,0:05:55.200
This is my sofa.

0:05:55.200,0:05:57.900
It fits 3 people.

0:05:57.900,0:05:59.300
I can sleep on it.

0:05:59.300,0:06:01.266
It's not the most comfortable thing to sleep on,

0:06:01.266,0:06:02.966
but I can make it happen.

0:06:02.966,0:06:05.433
In front of the sofa, I have this rug.

0:06:05.433,0:06:09.033
I am in love with this. It just ties everything together.

0:06:09.033,0:06:11.533
It's so soft. I can touch it all day long.

0:06:11.533,0:06:14.566
I have this iridescent acrylic table.

0:06:14.566,0:06:17.500
Over here, I have a fake plant. I love it.

0:06:17.500,0:06:18.666
It's super cute.

0:06:18.666,0:06:22.900
And I have this lamp that I sometimes turn on.

0:06:22.900,0:06:25.933
I can just step on this and it turns on.

0:06:25.933,0:06:27.633
How does that look?

0:06:27.633,0:06:30.366
And then here, I hung up some tote bags.

0:06:30.366,0:06:31.700
This is window #1.

0:06:31.700,0:06:37.000
I always have the blinds up because I like to look out the windows.

0:06:37.000,0:06:40.233
One of these strings broke. This is not working,

0:06:40.233,0:06:43.500
so I can't actually do anything with these blinds.

0:06:43.500,0:06:49.166
Also, by default, I like to have the windows open, but

0:06:49.166,0:06:53.700
during the nighttime it gets pretty cold, so I'm going to close them.

0:06:53.700,0:06:58.333
Right next to this window, I hung up my two YouTube plaques.

0:06:58.333,0:07:03.433
This is my silver 100k button. This is my gold 1M plaque.

0:07:03.433,0:07:05.566
I don't know which one, but one of them is crooked.

0:07:05.566,0:07:07.400
I think it's the silver button.

0:07:07.400,0:07:08.633
Uhh

0:07:08.633,0:07:11.300
It's fine though, right?

0:07:11.300,0:07:13.033
It's fine, yeah.

0:07:13.033,0:07:14.933
This is my desk.

0:07:14.933,0:07:18.233
I don't know what to do with this whole cord situation.

0:07:18.233,0:07:20.833
There are so many cables.

0:07:20.833,0:07:22.800
I don't know how to organize this,

0:07:22.800,0:07:24.600
so I don't.

0:07:24.600,0:07:26.566
I like how this desk is two-tiered

0:07:26.566,0:07:29.433
so that I can keep my laptop on this top tier

0:07:29.433,0:07:33.233
and have it eye level, and then I have my keyboard and mousepad here.

0:07:33.233,0:07:35.533
Over here, I have a full-length mirror.

0:07:35.533,0:07:37.866
This is my favorite photo spot.

0:07:37.866,0:07:41.633
Whenever my friends visit, we like taking a mirror selfie here.

0:07:41.633,0:07:44.600
Right next to the mirror, I have another fake plant.

0:07:44.600,0:07:46.966
I need to rearrange the leaves

0:07:46.966,0:07:49.633
cuz it's kinda looking wonky right now.

0:07:49.633,0:07:52.200
And then, here's my bed. It's a twin-sized bed.

0:07:52.200,0:07:54.866
This is the perfect size for my studio

0:07:54.866,0:07:58.100
given I don't have that much space, but

0:07:58.100,0:08:02.233
given I don't have that much space, but

0:08:02.233,0:08:06.066
given I don't have that much space, but

0:08:06.066,0:08:07.366
but we shall see.

0:08:07.366,0:08:11.133
And then, I have this soft rug in front of my bed.

0:08:11.133,0:08:14.233
The rug kinda matches my pillows, and I think that's cute.

0:08:14.233,0:08:17.100
I didn't actually notice that until now.

0:08:17.100,0:08:21.100
Right next to my bed, I have this closet.

0:08:21.100,0:08:24.900
At first, I was worried that this closet wasn't going to be big enough

0:08:24.900,0:08:26.166
to fit all of my clothes in.

0:08:26.166,0:08:29.600
There's actually a lot more storage space than I thought there would be.

0:08:29.600,0:08:31.933
This is not really organized in any way.

0:08:31.933,0:08:34.600
I guess I would say I have outerwear over here.

0:08:34.600,0:08:36.133
Puffer jackets, coats.

0:08:36.133,0:08:37.600
Here I keep my pajamas.

0:08:37.600,0:08:39.233
Here I keep my workout clothes.

0:08:39.233,0:08:44.866
Pants, underwear, and then I just hung up all of my tops.

0:08:44.866,0:08:46.000
It's not really organized.

0:08:46.000,0:08:48.433
I do need to go through all of my clothes and organize this again

0:08:48.433,0:08:50.566
because I don't know where anything is.

0:08:50.566,0:08:54.700
I also keep my yoga mat and some other random stuff.

0:08:54.700,0:08:59.966
[The bathroom]

0:08:59.966,0:09:04.533
This bathroom is the main reason why I chose to move into this place.

0:09:04.533,0:09:07.233
It's literally half the size of my apartment.

0:09:07.233,0:09:08.633
Someone can sleep here.

0:09:08.633,0:09:10.233
Two people can sleep here.

0:09:10.233,0:09:14.033
I have this mirror that has built-in lights, which I love.

0:09:14.033,0:09:17.233
I'm absolutely obsessed with the good lighting in this bathroom.

0:09:17.233,0:09:19.433
I have yet to figure out a good way to organize

0:09:19.433,0:09:21.700
all of my makeup and skincare products.

0:09:21.700,0:09:25.633
I just literally throw everything in there once I'm done with my makeup.

0:09:25.633,0:09:29.100
And this lower cabinet is where I keep my shoes.

0:09:29.100,0:09:34.900
This is where I keep all of my laundry detergent and cleaning supplies.

0:09:34.900,0:09:37.533
I have some water filters over there as well.

0:09:37.533,0:09:41.833
And then, below my sink, there's more storage space.

0:09:41.833,0:09:49.500
Here, I keep paper towels, toilet paper, some dusters, pads.

0:09:49.500,0:09:53.966
And then, in these little drawers, I have some q-tips,

0:09:53.966,0:09:56.933
my retainer, a little headband, hair roller.

0:09:56.933,0:10:00.400
This is where I keep my hair brush and curling irons.

0:10:01.533,0:10:03.233
Contacts

0:10:03.233,0:10:06.300
And my hair dryer

0:10:06.300,0:10:09.466
Over here, next to the toilet, I have a scale.

0:10:09.466,0:10:13.333
I don't really use it, but it's there just in case I want to.

0:10:13.333,0:10:18.666
And then, on top of the toilet, I have my Alexa echo dot.

0:10:18.666,0:10:22.500
I like to listen to music through this while I'm taking a shower,

0:10:22.500,0:10:24.066
which is why I keep it in the bathroom.

0:10:24.066,0:10:28.166
I also think it's good for when you have guests over because

0:10:28.166,0:10:30.466
you don't want to hear the sound of them peeing,

0:10:30.466,0:10:35.833
so you just play music through this, and it'll drown out any unnecessary sounds.

0:10:35.833,0:10:38.433
These are scented gel beads.

Another small trash can over there.

0:10:41.100,0:10:43.133
That trash can is smaller than my other one.

0:10:43.133,0:10:45.500
We only have tiny trash cans in this household.

0:10:45.500,0:10:47.900
This towel is dirty. Please do not look at this.

0:10:47.900,0:10:49.633
This is my shower booth.

0:10:49.633,0:10:51.266
So, this is not built in.

0:10:51.266,0:10:55.700
I actually had to buy these separately so that i could hang up all of my stuff.

0:10:55.700,0:11:02.166
But basically, I have my shampoo, conditioner up on top with some cleansing oil.

0:11:02.166,0:11:05.066
Body scrub, some more conditioner

0:11:05.066,0:11:07.233
And I keep some bar soap over there.

0:11:07.233,0:11:10.433
In my bathroom, right next to the shower booth,

0:11:10.433,0:11:12.866
there's a washer and dryer.

0:11:12.866,0:11:15.133
This is revolutionary because back in college,

0:11:15.133,0:11:18.433
I had to go to a separate laundry room and do my laundry,

0:11:18.433,0:11:23.466
which would have been fine if my apartment was close to the laundry room,

0:11:23.466,0:11:27.500
but I literally had to walk with my load of laundry

0:11:27.500,0:11:31.566
in the snow for 5 minutes to reach my laundry room,

0:11:31.566,0:11:34.533
so it was definitely not the most convenient.

0:11:34.533,0:11:38.433
So this is very much helpful that I have this.

0:11:38.433,0:11:42.033
That completes my apartment tour. I hope you guys enjoyed.

0:11:42.033,0:11:46.266
