Please do not look at this. 00:10:47.900 --> 00:10:49.633 This is my shower booth. 00:10:49.633 --> 00:10:51.266 So, this is not built in. 00:10:51.266 --> 00:10:55.700 I actually had to buy these separately so that i could hang up all of my stuff. 00:10:55.700 --> 00:11:02.166 But basically, I have my shampoo, conditioner up on top with some cleansing oil. 00:11:02.166 --> 00:11:05.066 Body scrub, some more conditioner 00:11:05.066 --> 00:11:07.233 And I keep some bar soap over there. 00:11:07.233 --> 00:11:10.433 In my bathroom, right next to the shower booth, 00:11:10.433 --> 00:11:12.866 there's a washer and dryer. 00:11:12.866 --> 00:11:15.133 This is revolutionary because back in college, 00:11:15.133 --> 00:11:18.433 I had to go to a separate laundry room and do my laundry, 00:11:18.433 --> 00:11:23.466 which would have been fine if my apartment was close to the laundry room, 00:11:23.466 --> 00:11:27.500 but I literally had to walk with my load of laundry 00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:31.566 in the snow for 5 minutes to reach my laundry room, 00:11:31.566 --> 00:11:34.533 so it was definitely not the most convenient. 00:11:34.533 --> 00:11:38.433 So this is very much helpful that I have this. 00:11:38.433 --> 00:11:42.033 That completes my apartment tour. I hope you guys enjoyed. 00:11:42.033 --> 00:11:46.266 Thank you guys so much for watching, and I'll see you in my next video. Bye!
