      I’m actually so thankful for all your moving videos!! I’m relocating from Southern CA to Portland for a job and I would’ve never considered downtown/pearl if weren’t for your content. I toured your current building and looked at this area also and although I just signed a lease with another building, (one from another TH-camr which u actually commented on with the great kitchen:) it really helped to see empty and lived in options before touring in person. Ultimately figured it would be the last time I’d experience urban living before buying a house. I’m actually in packing hell right now, lol. Moving out of state is so much harder!! Looking forward to streamlined apartment living but still gonna need a little storage unit for all my hobby/sports equipment, got any recommendations?

    As soon as I saw you sitting in this kitchen at the beginning of the video I got so excited! I was sad for you when you moved out of this place and could tell you weren’t as excited about your current apartment as you were about this place. Don’t let random internet strangers make you feel bad about doing what makes you happy. Congratulations!!

    my therapist told me last year that being/becoming an independent adult is all about making decisions and learning to be ok with those decisions. Watching you do just that as I go through extremely similar life events is so relatable and validating. So proud of you for making this decision despite what others may say/think. you have to do what makes you happy even if it involves a lot of effort/doubt. go Kiara!!!

    I'm 29 and in my 20's I have never lived in an apartment/house for more that 2 years at a time (and I don't have a single moving tip, moving is a pain no matter what lol). I could see the emotion in your eyes when you talked about your 2020 struggle and that right there is how you know you made the right decision to move back to an apartment that feels like home. I am SO proud of you sweet girl.

  • @melissatousley7347

  • @kareeirwin4954

    When I was in my 20s, I moved to different apartments and states! This is when you’re supposed to explore. You go through so much at this time. It’s supposed to be terrifying, yet exciting. How are you going to figure out what you want without exploring? During you’re 20’s, you’re figuring out what you like and who you are. You will not regret any of this in your future❤

  • @fegrace_1
    @fegrace_1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Congrats on all of the new opportunities coming your way! You recently graduated, past the NCLEX, moving back to a place that was a sanctuary and home for you, new job, new relationships, an epic ski season is approaching, new subbies, new brand deals and whatever else your heart desires. You are so sincere, kind, loyal, and hard working… Please know these things shine through without you having to explain your heart, intentions, and goals. Always know you have more people for you then will ever be against you!
    I actually like apartments that have more natural light (and I am not a person that films) especially during the fall and winter so your new/old place won me over with that essential feature alone.
    Suggestion: Maybe get one of the bookcase or a bookshelf desk to go where you old bar area was. It can proved decoration and extra storage.

    Super proud of you for trusting your gut & moving back. You made the right choice and it’s gonna pay off in the end. It’s almost as if you had to live in the other place to know what you didn’t want. And honestly, that is a realization that somebody makes out of maturity. I can’t wait for the Vlogs when you buy a house someday girl! It’s going to be amazing! Before I bought my first home, I lived with my parents for nine months. And then moved out to an apartment that I loved for seven months. And then the house of my dreams went on the market and I had to do it. And I was 23. It’s never a straight line to your destination. There’s always going to be twists and turns.💛

    Moving is so chaotic and stressful and love watching others move because it helps me with figuring it out. And moving around can be kind of fun experiencing different spots of the city/state and finding new spots in different neighborhoods to get food or coffee. I think it’s been amazing you’ve found a space that feels like home. I’m still looking for mine.

    I’m 26 and in my early 20’s I moved 7 times in 5 years because of college, grad school, saving money, and getting jobs. I now have a house, a dog, and I absolutely love my jobs. So while it might feel chaotic now, it’s totally normal and will be the best for you in the long run!

You know what feels right and makes you happy not any followers live in your shoes :) Love your responsible well thought out decision making skills! Its your draw tbh !! Keep up the great job you are doing! You are on your way to whatever you set your mind to :)

    I’m astonished at the fact that you received hate for moving when you’ve been quite open about the costs of rent. I really look forward to seeing your new videos as I’ve always done! ❤ in the end you might not have all the extras that your current building does have, but personal happiness is worth so much more! 😊😊

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Aww thank you! I couldn't agree more. And maybe I can actually go back to barre classes and be pushed to get into better shape fro ski season sense I'll have to say goodbye to my gym, but I'll save $500 a month 😂

    Kiara!! This makes me SO happy for you! I’m not going to lie, the current apartment never gave me your vibes. It’s super nice for sure, but this apartment is just so you. I’m sooo excited to see ya move back into here!! I think we can all see how happy you were here!

  • @KathrinH1997
    @KathrinH1997 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Honestly, I am so happy for you, that you are able to move back to the building that felt soo much like home in the past! ❤ I also expected it for a little while now, since the first time that you mentioned this appartment building again. I knew you would move back there somehow! Soo excited to see what you do with the space this time!!!
    I think the only moving tips I have from my recent move in July are:
    1) trash bags around the hanging cloths and use the suitcases for heavier things like books instead, because this way you have it easier carrying them
    2) Get enough people to help you move and plan with a little lunch break. We did both of those things when moving my best friend out of her appartment and it was soo much more relaxed then my own move!

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have moved every single year since 2013. It f**king sucks! It's horrible. Moving is SO expensive. You have to pay deposits, you have to pay for moving supplies/trucks, you have to pay rent at your old place and your new place. It's horrible!
    However I will say this, even if you are moving for content, it's no one's business but yours! You just need to do what is best for you! You already seem do much happier in this apartment.

  • @ashleylynn1925
    @ashleylynn1925 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don't be afraid to start moving soon. There is a ton that you can live without in your current space and move to the new one. It really makes all the difference not having to do it all in a few days. Best of luck, Kiara. You sounded so joyful in this video.

    It makes me sad that you received so much hate for living your life and doing what you needed to previously with your moving. Unfortunately there will always be people who refuse to see things from another person’s perspective and don’t speak with compassion. Please just block those people and delete the comments. Those people aren’t your people. The rest of us are here for the moving vlogs and happy to see you coming home to all our favorite apartment!!

    Kiara I haven’t watched your videos in a while just because nursing content isn’t what I’m into, but I came back to this video since I love your moving vlogs and wanted to say I really appreciate the way you are so honest and real and making responsible life choices and posting them online. I think sometimes it can be hard to relate to other influencers when they’re not as financially conscious as many of their viewers are. So keep up what you’re doing and your viewers will support you!❤

I’m just getting into skiing more seriously as an adult and would love a video from you for tips on gear, choosing a seasons pass etc. I’m also in pdx and chose meadows this year but would be interested to hear your thoughts on the different ski resorts in the area!! i skied a little bit (1-5days/year) as a kid and chose meadows because I loved it then, hopefully it will still be fun for a whole season.

    Moving tip: declutter before you pack so that you have less stuff to move! Also, you are one of my favorite TH-camrs and I am so inspired by how you take action to follow your dreams!! Congratulations on all your accomplishments!!

    I love the moving videos!! You are just fine having them. Sometimes its great to have content related to life skills in general and you do an excellent job with them. Moving is a part of life so its just fine showing them because they can be stressful and overwhelming at times and we can all learn from each other :-)

    I always felt like your first apartment in Portland (you know, the new old one) was where you were truly thriving, so I am SO GLAD you are returning to the space that makes you so happy :) and save that money!!
    Also, I don't have any moving tips...which sucks because my husband and I are moving into our first house later this month. I'd say pack what's not in use early x) just pack as you're still living at the old apartment.

    Thank you for sharing your thought process but no one is owed an explanation as to why you’re doing something that you feel you need to do. You’re correct about moving around a lot when you’re young. Please just enjoy your new old place and your life ❤️ as for those who say you are moving for content, you’ve never been at a loss for content and it’s always a pleasure getting a peak at your life, hard work and endeavors!! 😊

    Moving tips: if you can pack everything in similar sized boxes or totes. Easy to stack and put on a dolly. Also if you can purge things fo that beforehand.
    I moved way too many times in my 20s but sometimes you have to do what's best for the bank account and go where you feel at home the most.

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Love that! I've started purging something which I know I thank myself later for 😂

    wishing i had a good moving tip to share!! what i can share though is that there is nothing wrong with doing what you need to do!! people will say want they want but at the end of the day your happiness is what matters!! keep doing you and i hope this is a smooth move for you:) thanks for sharing your life with us, im currently in school to get my degree in psychology and then go to nursing school after so it was really nice to see someone else talking a similar route of getting degree before going to nursing school. thanks again:)

    Honestly, I'm SO excited you're back in this building and really liked how you set it up before. Excited to see the process and what you end up changing this time around. I definitely agree that the exposed concrete makes it hard to feel homey and it always felt so much darker in that apartment. This one has such amazing lighting and you're truly glowing with how happy you are to be back. Congrats!

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @shannonbenton634
    @shannonbenton634 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    We love you so much!!! So happy for your new beginnings! One tip for decorating is looking at Pinterest or even on the Target app (I work at target lol) because they have fully inspired rooms and you can buy what you like in those rooms. That’s how I decorated my room and I love it!

    Good luck, and congrats on the NCLEX. The moving tip: pack some of your clothes in your luggage, get free boxes from grocery stores, and use socks as fillers for breakable items. label boxes put them in their respective rooms, and unpack the kitchen and bathrooms first.

    Sometimes it takes longer to get settled! And that’s ok. I just moved out of the city I’ve lived in for years, back to my hometown. Best decision I’ve made in a long time :) good luck with the move and I love moving vlogs so can’t wait! Ignore whatever others say, only you know what’s best for yourself ❤

    You definitely should not be getting hate! As someone who is the same age, I just moved for like the 5th time. And I know I’m not done yet! I went and lived w family to save money as well and I just moved into an apartment. Is it the one I absolutely LOVE? Not necessarily but it’s in the location I love and has great amenities. We are all in the same boat and you have to do what’s best for you especially when it comes to happiness.

  • @giovannaribeirobrandao9646
    @giovannaribeirobrandao9646 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved it! Moving tip: leave the kitchen to pack for last, start with things you're not wearing right now (summer stuff, shoes you don't wear often, etc), decorations you won't put together so quickly, extras like extra blankets, etc. And have fun in the process, as you're heading to a place you love! Kisses from Brazil

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  2 ปีที่แล้ว
