Y'all... this is crazy. Imagine being so grateful to get your own place again after living in your mother's house with your 3 kids for 4 years and the apartment has roaches!?!?!?!
I do everything I can think of to keep the roaches away but I have some nasty neighbors that I cannot control PLUS management doesn't do their part so I can't get rid of them completely.
The weather is warming up and they're coming out the woodworks so this is me doing what I can to get rid of them and keep them away from my apartment at least

🫶🏾Genuine question, not being mean, did something happen to their dad? Side note: love your bed canopy
Both men are alive & well sis, living in another state with other families and I presume other priorities. They choose to call, visit and financially support when they feel like it which is not often or consistent enough to depend on. Sometimes their family members help out too. But I am raising my children on a day to day basis on my own girl. That’s just my reality and I accept it 🤷🏾♀️ but thanks for the compliment, I have always loved a canopy 💚
@@_EvolvingIntoHER_ absolutely rooting for you! I was raised by a single mom as well so I get it 🫶🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽 You seem to be very level headed and ambitious enough to improve your situation real soon . By the power of the Lord you will 💕
@@leklekjasmine416 Amen!!! & Thank you for being respectful about it, rooting for us and understanding 😊💚
You rock maam ,God bless you.
I love how real you are !! ❤❤❤
I lived 5 years with rats... I had to throw all my stuff away... My son and I had to part ways just to be able to afford to live... I thank God for my new home... 2018- 2023 was the worst years of my life... I lost my mom in 2018 and went downhill from there... Had no one to help me but God...
Oh my gosh girl I’m so sorry you had to endure all of that but I’m even happier that that nightmare is OVER for you. So sorry for your loss as well 😢🫶🏾🙏🏾 I’m thanking GOD for you new home too cause sheesh! 💚💚💚
God will get you through it I lost my mom in 2020
God is the only way, he can always do what man can't and won't do. Praise God, for bringing you out and helping you into the new. Congratulations for all your achievements and may the blessings continue.
@@marketatomlinson2144 Thank you 😊💚💚💚
THANKS FOR SHARING YOU DID YOUR THING BEAUTIFUL
The most authentic and relatable vlog that I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. You’re doing an amazing job. God bless you and your family
Wow! Thank you so much!!! And blessings to you and your family too, thank you for being here 💚
I raised 4 children alone. We lived in the projects for a while. You are a woman to be admired. Keep on keepin on just like you are doing. I truly, appreciate your humbleness. Keep close to God and He will take you further than you can imagine
Thank you so much, I truly believe that too! I am also grateful that you are here watching my video and commenting such kind words, thank you 💚
I went through this before it was a nightmare. A neighbor moved out and left a pot of greens on the stove for a month. Roaches was so big in my apartment my son who was 10 would sleep with tissue in his nose. I bought some boric acid powder sprinkled it in the cabinets closets kitchen and in two weeks they we're gone. It's working for your good weeping may endure but for one night but joy comes in the morning that trouble won't last forever 🙏🏽
That was just lazy and so inconsiderate!!!! Thank you for watching my video and the encouragement 💚
AMEN
In the cabinets, does it get on the dishes? Do you wash your dish each time due to the powder. I want to use it, but that is my concern.
@@aloeleaf9789 yes if the bugs crawl on the dishes. I always rinsed my dishes in hot water before I used them. I put it in the corners in the cabinets behind the stove refrigerator.In bedroom and closets out of reach out children.
@teresachoyce8378 so a good rinsing not dishwasher liquid? That saves time if I just need to rinse and not wash a dish each time.
You caught my attention because I can relate. I'm in housing 25 years, and you are right about the dirty neighbors it's continuous work. I have been dealing with rats/ mouse/ mice forever. I have literally become a minimalist .
A few tips to eliminate roaches.. get rid of any books on your kitchen counter, roaches like glue, clean around your stove and back splash of any grease or food crumbs roaches luv that, dish detergent bowls with water , hair on the floor and empty the water tray in the back of the refrigerator from condensation, it sits there for them to have a feast. Move all furniture from against the wall and use lighter fabrics to see them and to avoid them from hiding in dark places. Invest in a steamer that will come in handy for many things and try to steam your home once or twice a month.
I bought vacuum bags for the things that I'm not using, and then I placed it in the totes.
No eating in the bedroom and vacuum as well as sweep your floor regularly because they luv dust as well.
I prefer to vacuum, mop, and swiffer in that order.
I have been crying for years and doing everything possible. Up to last night, I saw a mouse, and my anxiety and OCD level went up.
To save on electricity buy yourself, rechargeable bulbs, and sensor lights on Amazon.
Trust me, I've been down that road.
Get rid of plastic food containers and unnecessary or chipped dishes.
I am still working on my bedroom and bathroom. I would like to have the basics.
Sending love, positivity, prayers and encouragement your way. Thank you so much for the tips. My heart goes out to you having to live with that. Thank you for watching my video, I really appreciate it and I will be using some of your tips too! Thank you 💚
You have been living in the Projects for 25 years, you are one person that I don’t feel sorry for, you obviously don’t want better 🙄🤦🏽♀️
Also, no wood fruniture and clean with peppermint oil. The cold weather is also good. I don’t have kids and I have decided not to pay rent anymore because of this issue with pests. And let me tell you I went from paying $650 a month for a studio to $2500 and both started out good but ended up bad with pests. I’m hoping my next move to living and working on the cruise line will be different. I would love oneday to create a safe house for woman. Wishing you all well❤️
@@BlackGirlUnsolved Even though that is unfortunate it sounds like your next step will be a great change for you. I hope you really enjoy working there 💚 Thanks for the suggestions and for watching my video
@@BlackGirlUnsolved hi..how did you apply for the cruise line position & what were the qualifications? I would love to do something like that!!!
I’m not sure where you live but you need to check to see if there’s a Habitat For Humanity in your area or state and apply for a new home build. It’s a Home Ownership program for low income families. I believe you’ll be approved as a single mom of three kids. Once approved you can ask to have a three or four bedroom two bath home build. It is your home no rent you pay a mortgage to own your home for your family, the land is yours as well as the home. Please check into it ASAP!! I don’t know how I came across your videos but thank God I did so I can give you this info. ❤
Found it! lol, thanks again. I know a lot about Habitat For Humanity because my mom went through that program, paid off her home and is still living in her house 💚 It was such a BIG blessing in our lives
Don't they have to do so many hours of sweat equity to be approuved?
@@lorettatayor5840 Not to be approved but it is a requirement to participate in the program.
I was in the same situation years ago! I sat down wrote down short term goals for the next six months. It supppose to be a stepping stone. Take advantage while you can. Go to school or get a trade so you can afford to move somewhere nice. I took advantage of all the free schooling they were all trades. I never had to come out of my pocket. You got this . Im praying for you and your family. I can tell youre a good mom and you deserve nothing but greatness for you and your kids. If i did it you can too. And i was a single parent. Its not easy, but its well worth it!!
Thank you, you are so right it is just a stepping stone-I WILL NOT get stuck here! I got my goals written down and checking them off one by one! Also I completely agree with taking advantage of all the resources I can. I literally tell myself we ain’t enduring all this to come out with nothing!!!! I just know GOD will bless my family and I. Thank you for being so sweet and encouraging, I appreciate your support 💚
@_EvolvingIntoHER_ You're welcome. You got this Queen!
Those disgusting roaches will hide inside of your electronics. I hate them.
I was in a motel at a casino, and heard the alarm clock radio malfunctioning, and picked it up and I saw roaches. I DROPPED that thing and ran to the office they was partying inside the clock. 😳😂😳🤣😳
💜 “Sooner or later, it’ll turn in your favor” This is only a pebble in the road, greatness is ahead. Don’t stress about it, work towards it and before you know it you’ll be a homeowner. We believe in you!
Thank you for watching my video and being positive and encouraging. I really appreciate that and you are 100% right too, one day this will be all behind me. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💚
Amen
The arguments and domestic violence ..shootings! The random drop ins with maintenance, loud talking neighbors with their family at 2am. The SPIDERS are huge! Plumbing is always messed up somewhere. The homeowners program is randomly available, if you make decent money your rent is high to keep you stuck🤦🏾♀️ Everybody has a car but no job.
I gots to get out of here 😂😭😭😭💯💯💯
THIS. I lived in the projects in Indianapolis for about a year back in 2014 with my then 4 year old daughter. Prior to that I had spent 6 months homeless living in my Ford Escort in the wintertime so the projects almost seemed like a luxury at first...until it wasn't. I remember there were nights I'd wake up to the door knocking at odd hours of the night. 2..3am. Always scared me so much and always just hid under the covers like that would somehow protect me if some shit went down, doors thin as hell too💀😂 For real though you got this! Best of luck to you. ❤

I love how spiritually aware and vulnerable you are. Your journey to be closer to God will not fail you. He's going to deliver you into a better life for you and your kids. And after he does, praise him and never forget where he brought you from. I subbed because I'm looking forward to seeing your spiritual growth and seeing how greatly God is going to bless you, sis! 'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.' Psalms 30:15
Oh you’re the second person to post this scripture, thank you for the reminder 💚 & Thank you for subscribing, welcome to my channel 🫶🏾🫶🏾 I receive and believe everything you just said and I WILL NOT forget what GOD will bring me through. All of my subscribers will be a witness to the blessings in store for me and I’m already grateful and just thanking GOD in the midst of all of this 💚💚💚
As a women with 3 kids whom just left the shelter to live in ghetto section 8, i still needed to hear that line! " people are praying for where your at!" So true. The goverment needs to make these landlords give stable homes. It effects the mental health and continues the cylce for some that dont have the power to fight those thoughts, the bad ones, the ones that make it seem ungrateful but also know we deserve way more better conditions. God places people on journeys just so your energy can make a change when its demanded.
I am sending you so much love and appreciation. Thank you 💚
Don’t worry about your look, ur naturally beautiful…that’s what made me want to watch ur channel. #facts
Awww, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Double bag the cat food in the closet or put in bin too. Bugs and mice love cat and dog food! Good job💪🏽
Did not know that, thank you. I didn’t do it in my part 2 video I’ll be posting soon but I’m taking care of that today!
@@_EvolvingIntoHER_ awesome sauce! You are on it and I love it for you and your family🌹🌹🌹
What I have found as a true help for anyone’s situation, keep updating your skill set. You don’t have to go to college. But there are certifications for skills, side hustles ( legal) and free city and state programs to learn new skills.
Thank you 💚
This is definitely project life. Not to mention every financial reward you get like raises your rent goes UP because your income goes up. I have an associate who 60 years old no kids and lives in the projects. She refuses to work because she knows her rent will increase and food stamps will stop. You are not alone! I'm not in the projects but i have dealt with rodents, bed bugs, etc. And the apartment is falling apart. But my rent is $425. I have to live with the bugs, filthy neighbors because that's all i can afford in this economy!
Yeah, it’s really tough out here financially 🫶🏾 I appreciate you watching my video, thank you!
AMEN
Better days are coming! God sees you & will walk with you through all the trials & tribulations. You are an excellent mother to a beautiful family. I pray & wish all the best to you all ❤
🥹 Thank you, I really appreciate this reminder from you. I had real strong emotions about sharing this but have been receiving nothing but positive vibes from this!
I understand everything you’re saying which is why I just closed my lease and I’m stepping out in faith .i rather have my peace than cheap rent roaches no peace privacy and nosey ghetto neighbors.
AMEN
This video is touching. I’ve never lived in the projects and I fight & pray hard I don’t have to & unfortunately that’s where they want our people. I remember being in the shelter eager to get in anywhere and the projects was one, but God had other plans for me. Funny that right after I accepted the small apartment, the projects selected me & my caseworker was trying to talk me into breaking my brand new lease to go the pjs because it had the two bedroom I needed. I prayed on it and asked family for advice & they all told me NO stay where you are. Now I’m trying to escape where I am, not because of the issues you face but I’m just tired, it’s over crowded and my mental health is at war because I know I want more for myself and children. These programs keep us trapped in a bubble but so does the city. If we make $1000 before taxes they act like we’re wealthy and they cut us from assistance. Rent is way too high & the wages are extremely low. Like you, I’m raising my kids on my own and it’s tough as hell! This video is so real because people don’t know the half, it’s no for sympathy at all it’s just RAW & REAL. I work for the city & I’m still eligible for public assistance… that’s disgusting & the landlords don’t want the programs & want you to make 40 times the rent & have a 700 credit score just to pay their mortgage. It’s so ridiculous but stay strong because a change is coming. 🙏🏾
I am praying that you too get out of your current situation🙏🏾🙏🏾 and I’m grateful you can see that this is my real life. You stay strong as well. Thank you so much for watching my video, I’m so appreciative 💚💚💚
If you watched this ENTIRE video drop a 🫶🏾 in the comments for me pleaseeeee!
🫶🏾❣️
Go get Orthene Fire Ant Killer for roaches and place Camphor around the outside and inside of your units for rodents…..thank me later
The Ortho doesn't work it just stinks but there is a fire ant killer i get from the hardware store and when i tell you it works wonders even if the neighbors don't do their part
@@RitaCannon-ef2sg Ok, thanks!
🫶🏽
I find myself crying a lot because I have NOT lived a normal life since I'm in housing.
💔💔💔
Don’t worry…you’re making a joyful noise unto the Lord…God bless your ❤
Thank you, I receive that!
Bugs are in my apartment as well and they stress me out I can definitely relate and I keep my place clean when I’m not depressed! There was bugs in my apartment before I moved in and they didn’t even tell me!
And why would they tell us that?? Cause they know if they did they would have to do something about it. I blame management too like girl don’t get me started 😠🤨😂😢
Happened to me to
Something needs to be done worldwide about some of these lords over land! I don't understand why they are able to get away with giving tenants housing along with rodents, insects, mold & mildew upon inspection. The inspectors seem as though they are afraid to come up against these ppl & just pass anything! So wrong!
@@119ThisAintThat I agree
BORIC ACID!!! MY GO TO...BEEN HERE IN MY APARTMENT FOR GOIN IN 7 YEARS... DESPITE OF THE NEIGHBORS PROBLEM WITH EM ..I HAVE NONE!!! BORIC ACID...I SWEAR BY IT
Noooo you are making me tear up😔 it's going to get better! I am in a similar situation, I have my good days as well as bad and we will come out on top!
🥹 Wooo girl… You are not alone but you are right we will come out on top!! Thank you so much for watching. I hope you’ll subscribe and don’t be a stranger 💚
Sis!! The transparency is on 100 and 100% relatable! Let go binge what else I done missed.
Girrllll 😂😂💚💚💚 Thank you 😊 The transparency is getting real!!! 🤣
I just seen your video in my feed. At my apartment, I used to have a gang of roaches but I ended getting the roach gel and the majority of them are gone. I used to have roaches in my kitchen and I rarely see them now. Trust me the roach gel works, and if you have an exterminator come over tell them to use to roach get instead of the spray. I tried baits, spray, tablets, and none that stuff worked. New subscriber. -Stephanie
Thank you for subscribing!!! I am going to give the gel another try, it didn’t help when I first moved in but everyone keeps telling me to use it and that it works. Maybe I did something wrong the first go round. Baits definitely don’t help either, I agree with you about that.
I had to subscribe. I can relate to most of what you’re going through…. It’s sad but better days are coming ❤.
Wow! Thank you for subscribing and welcome to my channel girl 😌 I appreciate the encouragement and don’t be a stranger either! 💚
Thank you for your authenticity. Your realness will relate to a lot of people. I have lived in the projects too before when I was younger. God is definitely going to bless you and your kids. We may never understand why we go through what we do, but God is faithful and will bring you out of this. I was told years ago that if God is bringing you THROUGH something, He's bringing you TO SOMETHING! I know this to be true. Sis, keep the faith! As fsr as the bug situation, I have dealt with that, too. I dont know if you have ever heard of boric acid, which is a powder that you can buy at Walmart, Target or Lowes, etc. Try that with some sugar in it and put it EVERYWHERE in your apartment, and I promise you'll see a difference in the bugs infestation. Praying for you....
You are so welcome bd thank YOU so much for your kind words. I am so grateful. You are absolutely right and I needed to be reminded again 💚
Some people thinks it’s normal to have roaches, rats and mice they don’t care
I cannot even fathom that type of mentality, that’s got to be a mental illness!
Why a deplorable household must have pets.....Poor dog or cat must want to escape and babies or very young kids must live the way the adult(s) live
It’s unfortunately what low income housing attracts. Obviously not everyone is the same, but when people don’t work to keep a roof over their head, etc they are less likely to appreciate it.
Sista, God is preparing you for the home that you desire! Don't give up, keep your dreams and hold in. I'm praying for your family!
Get you some #3 steel wool to plug that hole up. Also, get you some peppermint oil to spray your baseboards with to keep rodents and bugs away.
I'm in the process of going back and watching all of your older videos now. I probably need to start at the beginning and do them in order. I sure hope by now that you have gotten a different job, it is so stressful working in customer service! You could definitely be a Professional Organizer - you've done wonders! It is so sweet and calming to watch and listen to you. 💞
Noooo I haven’t yet 😩😩 I never thought of being Professional organizer though 🤔 Thank you 💚
I’m a new subscriber. Your apartment is lovely because you make it nice and you try your best to make it cozy and comfortable for your children. Wishing you the best of luck with everything. It’s so true, we all gotta be grateful for what we have at the moment 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for subbing! I’m am grateful to have you 💚 Don’t be a stranger
Thank you for talking about this because many of us are going through the same thing.
🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Ditto
Order several rodent/bug repellent electric plug ins. The roaches WILL NOT enter your apartment, as it sends an electromagnetic sound wave that keeps them away FOR GOOD. Works immediately. Safe for pets & children. Looks like a night light.
Amazon.
I’m starting to see a few people mention this, I’ll be getting some soon. Thank you 💚
And ALWAYS REMEMBER beautiful sister in Christ...THIS TOO SHALL PASS! MUCH LOVE AND GOD BLESS
AGREED 💚
Hey sweetheart I don’t know you but I’m so glad I found you, a few years ago I moved into this house (renting) and the previous tenants were nasty even though the house was spotless and repainted when I moved in. I’m bug free now but it took a few weeks. They were coming out everywhere even when I cooked. I saw a video on here about mixing boric acid, egg yolk and a tiny bit of sugar and rolling them up in balls and placing them on top of cabinets/ in cabinets, behind places bugs like to hide. And I swear to you it WORKED! I saw a lot of dead bugs after that. All the spraying didn’t work nor the first foggers ..it was so frustrating but I hope you get this resolved soon love. Keep going! Love your positivity and determination ❤
If any of the stuff you use don't seem to work, here is a suggestion. Borax, Liquid sealer, and Clorox. If you want to step it up a notch...add boric acid to the Borax. I' m not making this up. Put Borax in window seals, behind all electronics, around the stove and refrigerator, and in back of the cabinets. Liquid foam to seal all holes under cabinets and around pipes.
You won't be the first or the last to have a pest problem. May the Lord be with you.
Peace
Thank you I really appreciate it 💚
HELLO!! I just started watching this video! And sis,I'ma tell ya right now...I was having the same problem ..been here in the projects for goin on 7yrs and even tho my nasty neighbors have ALL had a horrible roach problem ...I been here goin on 7 yrs and NEVER EVER had one problem with roaches ..I had seen a few here and there and IMMEDIATELY went to Lowe's and bought BORIC ACID!!! THAT WAS THREE YEARS AGO...STILL HAVE NASTY NEIGHBORS WITH THEIR HORRIBLE ROACH PROBLEM...AS FOR ME.. ABSOLUTELY NONE!!
Ma’am! I needed to hear this!!!!! Thank you! 💚💚💚 This the comment right here I needed to see!!!!!! I appreciate you so much for it!
Staying on top of them and cleanliness is the key......
Unwanted pest & rodents do not like where they can't find food
Love your honesty and vulnerability. I wish you the best of luck. You’ll go far with the attitude and strength you have ❤
Thank you! Like genuinely, for seeing that within me and bringing that to my attention. I receive that and I appreciate you watching 💚
Oh I’ve been there with the bugs. It’s just aweful. After your done everything, cleaning, bins, sprays and all that, oh some plugs for the empty electrical sockets, use some peppermint oil and put a few drops of oil on cotton balls and put them in all the cupboards and closets, under sinks, behind fridge, under stove, bugs hate the smell. Your home might smell light a big candy cane but that’s ok. Then just stay as absolutely clean as possible, which I know u know. You are so relatable, you are an inspiration and a beautiful lady
Thank you so very much 💚💚💚💚
I've never lived in the projects, I was actually raised on the proverbial "other side" and live in the suburbs now as an adult but I can totally relate to both being a single mom and having to deal with "unwanted guests" in your house. And I can tell you that no matter where you live, a universal truth is that NOTHING inspires you to declutter your house faster than bugs and vermin. I considered my house pretty clean until years ago when a family of field mice (we live in a desert climate) found its way into my house via a large tree thats branches were touching my roof, which they ran up on and gained access into the house via the chimney. Pretty soon they were in the walls - I could hear them gnawing and scratching at the walls, until they finally chewed a hole through and now they were in the house - chewing holes through the dog food bag in the garage, making a nest in my very expensive couch, and I even found them under my bed , in my closet, and in my BABYS CRIB that I (thankfully) wasn't using any more. I tore my entire house apart, called the exterminator, put out poison, got a cat, had the tree cut down, and threw out probably 70% of everything in my closets - I didn't care if I needed it of not, I didn't want to keep anything that they had touched and I didn't want them to have anyplace to hide lol. Mice problem is gone and hasn't resurfaced since, but to this day I HAVE to be able to see the floors in my closets and I keep them as decluttered and minimal as possible.
Wooo! That was a crazy experience but you did what needed to be done! Way to go! You are so right too, if nothing else will make you declutter and clean up it is bugs and rodents!!! 💚💚💚💚
I lived in NYC projects for yrs and made the best of it. Your home is on the inside and you praise GOD for the Now. I now live in NC and own my TH it’s not a new build and I’m soooooo Grateful. “You don’t know my story”!!!!!❤
Congratulations, it doesn’t even matter if it’s not a new build baby you are better than where you came from. AND YOU OWN IT! I’m so happy for you 💚 Thank you for watching my video and you are so right.
AMEN
Seal all your base boards, Bug spray all window frames inside and out. Spray your doorways and frames too. Run chalk over all your edges on cabinets. Bug spray all edges of cabinets, shelves, base boards, under sink seal all edges, bug spray. Bug spray every two weeks all floorboards, door, windows and buy roach motels or bait containers put behind refrigerator, one on each side of the sink under. Under beds etc. Live din apt where everyone had bugs. I hardly had any, but it is what I did so I did not have them hardly at all. I put everything in plastic or glass sealed containers. No cardboard, no paper bags. I also bombed my house. Then vacuumed and washed everything, dishes I washed put away after I sprayed all cracks, that is after the bomb. I placed a roach bait in each cabinet shelf. Buy the baits in bulk. Seal everything. Peace!
Thank you 💚
Your content is so relatable I love these videos! You are giving a great exemple to your kids on how to get up after a fall!
Thank you 💚💚💚 I’m so glad you are enjoying them
Bless you! You have so much wisdom. ❤
Wow, thank you 💚
I appreciate you being totally authentic and vulnerable. Showing us the good, bad and ugly. Your sharing has taught me to be grateful of the things that I have been blessed with. You taught me that I don't have to have a ton of stuff to be happy.
🥹 Awww, and yes we don’t need a ton of stuff to be happy! I am so happy that you were able to walk away from my video with all of that 💚 Thank you for watching!
You are not alone. I just came across your video and I just wanna tell you that you are not alone., don’t be afraid. Don’t stress yourself out. Focus on you and your kids.. as far as the bugs go to the dollar tree and get all the caulking you can find, go to hardware store and course steel wool. Also, pick up some combat roach gel. Caulk up every crack you can find whether it’s around your baseboard of your apartment inside your kitchen cabinets. Around your sink around the cupboard of your kitchen sink bathroom sink just caulk to you can’t caulk anymore. Any crack that you find in your home caulk it with the dollar tree caulk… at the hardware store, get the kitchen and caulk the water resistant one and caulk your bathroom with that. It’s gonna be OK. I’m still battling but sooner or later things has got to get better we can only tell our truth. Might get a little backlash, but who cares this is your experience and if you want to speak it, you have a right to. 👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾, stay blessed because you are
Girl... just thank you! When you said caulk till you can't caulk no more I felt that in my soul!!! I'm laughing but it really ain't funny. I made a part 2 but I just might do a part 3 caulking the whole apartment up!!!! Thank you for being encouraging, I am sending it right back to you! I did the gel when I first moved in, I know everyone swears by it but it dried up so fast and did nothing for me but leave me with a mess to clean up. But the caulking I'm definitely going to try. Thank you again, I'm praying we both get out of our situations sooner than later by the grace of GOD! 💚💚💚💚💚
I feel you girl, as your journey is enlightening but with you perseverance God will see you and your family through 🙏
Ooh thank you!!! That means a lot to me 💚
sending you love...... you are truly amazing, god is protecting you and your babies...... everything is going to be okay , keep going your blessing are about to overflow

You earned a new subscriber for sure!! I appreciate your authenticity and I admire your tenacity. You got this.
Yea! 🥹 Thank you so much 💚 and welcome to my channel
Thank you for showing your place and vulnerability. I think your place is so beautiful and you seem like you are doing the best you can do for you and your family. It is a shame that there are neighbors who ruin it for others. I can relate to a lot of what you say. Wishing you the best and looking forward to seeing more videos from you❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. I will definitely keep the videos coming. Thank you for watching 💚
Not me crying with you when youre singing out to the Lord. Your feeling are real. They are raw. And they are felt profoundly by too too many people 😪 God gone get us there soon. Just keep being true to yourself 🫶🏼

I’m so happy to hear that, thank you for watching 💚
I'm about to be in the same situation - you're an inspiration and I'm grateful for your content
Awww, thank you and keep your head up 💚
I know this video is a month old and you have it handled but Boric Acid takes them out! Nothing to be embarrassed about; it happens. I live in a house in a nice neighborhood and spotted a few roaches. I keep a clean and well kept home but roaches don't care. Like you, I went to war, they didn't stand a chance lol!

Thank you 💚
Ortho ant - brown bottle, yellow lid. I had a problem in DC when construction started - I had three kinds, German, the super big ones and the medium ones. I put it by the baseboards, behind the stove, fridge, etc. Got rid of every last one. They were still in the building but they stayed out of my apartment. It is a bit stinky at first but after a while the smell went away. Just be careful around the little ones and pets and if you vacuum it up don't breathe it in when you empty it.
Thank you 💚
This works used over a decade ago never had a problem again. Got it from Lowes garden section.
I've been going through with life and anxiety driving me nuts, so I'm guessing that's why this vid popped up.
I paused the video and prayed for you and your family🙏🏽. I pray for peace of mind, coverage and more income so that you can move and feel comfortable.
I know this can be mentally and emotionally draining for you so I'm praying your strength and I just subscribed.
I look forward to seeing you flourish because it's about to happen! 🙏🏽✨🙌🏽💕
Thank you for your prayers and welcome to the channel!!! I really appreciate you subscribing and just watching my video, you didn’t have to 💚💚💚
I had to subscribe. You have a lovely spirit and I am rooting for you and your family.
Aww thank you 😊💚 & I’m so happy you subscribed!!!
I lived in the project but that limits no one. Trashy people are everywhere. You can have a 5 bedroom rat trap. The project's income based is what everyone should consider. But raising kids to be decent humans does not go by zipcode. Look at some videos of home owners there are some that sleep in what looks like a true dumpster. Go to home depot and buy those pill-looking roach tablets. I live in low-income housing but my neighbors don't reside in my home they don't matter. You speak so well. I can't express that love enough for your home and family.
Thank you so much 💚
I just want to take this time to say thank you for giving me hope that there’s some real beautiful loving women out there. I’ve only watched two of your videos so far and it gave me hope. Thank you for being so real.1LUV🤜🏾🤛🏾
Awww thank you for recognizing and acknowledging that within me. And yes we are out here, don’t give up on us. Just get ready for what you desire. One love to you too 🫶🏾 and thank you for watching my videos 💚

I dont know how i came upon your page, but i have watched two of your videos, and i just want to say you are not along. We all go through something every day, but trust and believe God will not leave us. He is preparing you for your greatness. Your reward is about to blow your mind. I love your content, and your voice is so smoothing it pulls me in. You decorated your home, beautiful. It reminded me of when i grew up in the projects how beautiful our home was on the inside. I always say i miss my childhood and how everybody was so close to the projects and still knew each other. Keep praising God and being grateful. You got this queen and know that your babies love you and see how you provide for them blessing to you stay positive.
Aww thank you so much, I really appreciate you for this comment. Thank you so much 💚
Yesss its always something to be grateful for
ALWAYS 💚
Im so thankful to come across your channel... As someone who grew up in the projects/trailer park... I get it... But right now, I'm homeless, ive had to leave my youngest daughter so she can have a better place to live right now while i try to get in these income based apartments... Times are tough. I appreciate you being vulnerable.
And I hope you get in one sooner than later, I am so sorry to hear you’re experiencing that right now but it will get better, for both of us. I believe that, the storm can’t last forever 💚💚💚
New subbie❤ thanks for your transparency sis blessings
Aye! Welcome 🤗🤗🤗 thank you so much for subscribing and watching my video, I am very grateful 💚
Girl, I can relate I truly enjoy this video. Thank you for visiting my TH-cam channel happy Belated Mother’s Day
💚💚 You’re welcome and thank you!
Krystal this is the video that I initially bypassed. Glad I watched another one and doubled back to this one. Buy boric acid and mix with sugar then put that all around base boards, inside cabinets, closets and believe me this will work. I remember that’s what they used in the past when I was little and it definitely killed them. I can’t give any measurements because I just remember that’s what the grownups used. You can put the mixture in a container with a pointed lid and squeeze it out so it’s more controlled when putting it down.
A couple of people have mentioned the same thing about skipping past this video in particular but thank you for the tip, a lot of people have mentioned this too! I am working on it now.
baby, we support YOU!! you are doing what you got to mama, and you are doing a goodnjob. keep moving up!!
Thank you honey 💚💚💚
New to your channel. This reminds me of my childhood. We lived in government housing. We kept a clean house. Mom would make us take everything out and cover with sheets when the housing people came to spray. So frustrating because our neighbors to the left were nasty.
Welcome!!!! Awww 🥰 thank you so much for watching and subscribing. I’m so grateful to have you as a subscriber 💚
Girl I saw ur video in my feeds just continue to trust God because ur change is on the way am a single mother of 3 myself so I understand the struggle can be real 🙏🏾🙏🏾 keep the same energy until ur change comes ❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much. I most definitely will hold onto to this energy too! I really appreciate you, thank you for watching as well 💚
@@_EvolvingIntoHER_ your welcome 🤗 ur YT family is here for you 🙏🏾🥰
I really needed this video because I’m currently going through the same situation. I never thought I would be living in the projects as well and this past year has been so hard for me. This video is so relatable to. Last night I had a whole mental breakdown. I called my mom at 2 this morning crying and breaking down. You are a person I need in my life. I have friends but no one can relate. Thank you so much for your vulnerable moment.
Ugh GIRL! I just want to hug you right now!! I know EXACTLY how you feel. We gon be alright and we're going to get through this! We may be struggling now but we won't be forever. Keep your head up Goddess. Thank you for being here and don't be a stranger girl.
@@_EvolvingIntoHER_ thank you so much. I oh wish there was a way we could exchange numbers because you’re so uplifting. And it’s crazy how I ran into your video after my crying session. This video was definitely meant for me to see. God is so good!
@@Unapologetically_Keya All the time! That’s what I like to call divine timing 💚 I know it’s not the same as a phone call but you can email me at evolvingintoher@gmail.com
Sis a change is coming 🙏 All I hear is NEW!!!!!!! I've been their w/ 5 Children b4! God see your hurt! Keep the faith help is on the way.❤
💚💚💚 Yes! Thank you so much
Just keep praying God answers prayers 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you & I will 🙏🏾💚
Thank you for being vulnerable and for sharing your story. I lived in public housing many years ago. In the apartment I was good but the moment I left the safety of the inside, reality hit. The drug dealer who ran in my home to get away from the cops, was what ended my housing journey. There is purpose in your walk. Keep informing. Keep inspiring.
Thank you 💚 I will
I know u are tired, but u are doing a wonderful job for u and ur children, God bless!!
Awww thank you so much 💚💚
I just discovered your channel keep your head up things will get better. New Subscriber 🥰
Yeah! Welcome to my channel thank you so much for subscribing. I really appreciate the encouragement, thank you 😊💚
I just found your channel and I relate to a bunch of your struggles. I am not a mom yet, but I am independent, in a state I have no family in, and struggling to go to university full time and working part time and still managing to pay my bills. It is HARD and this season of my life has been super tough and character building. That scene where you were vulnerable in your praise and worship is EXACTLY what I do probably twice a week. Without that check in with my lord and savior I have no idea How I could deal with all this. It's temporary struggles. I have a fear of spiders and where I live they are ABUNDANT . I have had to just give it to God and focus on the fact it's temporary. Because I am in University, I can't benefit from the low income housing, and I can only go to University because I qualify for Financial Aid. I will never ever understand why they prohibit students from benefiting from low income. The stigma that those who are in college have familial support is rediculous. I would be working full time if I hadn't recently wrecked my car and have to rely on a very limited county bus operating hours but I am very thankful we even have a county bus.
Doesn't matter about not having children, people can still struggle without them. You've got the right mindset to get through your situation. Keep claiming that it's only temporary girl and finding reasons to remain grateful despite it all. I'm praying for both of us. Thank you so much for watching! 💚💚💚💚
I just came across your channel. God has a plan for you just be patient , there are a lot of good suggestions in your comments for the unwanted critters. May God continue to keep you and your family covered and safe 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for being here and yes it’s so many tips I feel hopeful about getting rid of them because at one point I did not. I’m just grateful 💚
For your roach issue; use this recipe, don’t waste your time with the gel it doesn’t work….
You need this:
Borax or Borax acid
Baking soda
Sugar to lure them to the mixtures
Mix these in equal parts
Place in baseboards, behind fridges, near electrical outlets, they love moist dark places. Or place where you know they hang out. I’m telling you, if you apply this , the next day you’re going to have some major sweeping to perform.
This is an old school recipe that works trust, the house I grew up in someone brought them over and it was a wrap but after this application, you could leave food out for minutes or hours and no one or nothing would touch it.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate this 💚
Boric acid and borax or two different things , which are you talking about?
@@FeliciaJohns-lr8zt I think borax is a brand of boric acid or something similar to it but I could be mistaken
You are such a beautiful woman with a graceful spirit
Such a beautiful family you have.
You are doing your best and the bestest ever is still yet to come and it will.
I think God placed you there to share your good spirit.
Im willing to bet that you have the power from God to be able to speak to your neighbor who perhaps needs guidance in cleaning her home.
We are placed where we are at a specific time for a specific reason.
You can become a wonderful example to your neighbors.
Your ways are gracious and I feel you will find a way to make the neighbor who’s attracting the roaches change her ways.
Blessings to you and your family ❤
Thank you again 💚💚💚 That would be great if it unfolded like that
I'm so glad I found your channel. I watched a few of your videos and remember you saying that there isn't much on youtube that is relatable and I feel the same way. I am a stay at home Grandma. I love to cook and decorate and clean and re-organize....and do whatever it takes to make my family happy. We live in a 650 square foot trailer and have our youngest daughter and her two precious sons here with us. Although it is small, there are three bedrooms and I am so grateful for that. The trailer park that we live in could be considered the eye sore of the neighborhood. We are lucky enough to live in a great neighborhood but a crap hole of a home lol. The boys can go to a wonderful school. This place always has issues like plumbing and electrical and also soooooo many cosmetic related problems that are in need of constant repair. We have lived in every neighborhood that you could think of. From good (when I was raising my kids) to the so called "hood". I found that (just like you said) if you stay to yourself and mind your own business then people will leave you alone. We have lived in a hotel room raising two grandsons for a year and also lived in a tent for six months. Although we have been here in this small trailer for five years now so I am so grateful to have a home. But I am always looking for new recipes and I love to bake and decorate and so many of the lifestyle vloggers on youtube live in huge fancy mansions and have money to buy expensive things and basically anything they want. Anyhoo....I am rambling on. Just wanted to pop in and say hi and to tell you that you are beautiful and your home is warm and welcoming and you are doing a wonderful job!! Thank you for keeping it real. Glad to finally find something a little more relatable for me.
Awwww thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. Welcome to the channel 💚
