I love how you included clips of ice skating! I love when there’s the “talking about it” clips but then I get disappointed in not getting to see the actual activity so I love when there’s a little clip even if it is tiny!!
One thing that helps me talking the buses is the transit app! I used it when I was in my college town and it really helped, I also used it in Chicago! it allows you to put your location and final decision and give live feedback from other riders which is really helpful.
I think a good theme to this vlog was how BRAVE you are! I know it is what some people consider daily things but you trying out the bus and not letting it get you down you getting back on the ice and even wanting to do private lessons! You are thriving in NY Lauren and it's so nice to see! (Also seasonal depression is so real and can come at ANY time! ;) )
The bus confusions happen to the best of us! I've lived in NYC almost my entire life and I've encountered the same problem. Sometimes it helps to look up the bus line on google and just walk to the next stop if it's only a few blocks away. You got this! Glad you're gonna try again.
Yes! Also, if there is construction around, its possible that the stop got moved. I also learned when I moved here that some don't have benches or ticket machines, it'll just be the pole the route on it- none of the stops look the same. Sometimes its obvious but often the stops can be hard to find in a new area. And the bus is almost never on time, but there's always another one on its way.
I live outside NYC. February is the hardest in terms of mental health because the cold just keeps coming. Many years, we're still having serious snowstorms through the whole month. Many years ago, it kept going through March and we even had snow on April 15th. This seems to be a much better year than most.
I need a Lauren and Will debrief every vlog. That was the best thing I have ever seen you post. I love all your content, but that debrief right there girl, my heart exploded and I laughed so hard! I feel like problem solve like that daily
I moved from South Florida to Northern Indiana and this seasonal depression is SO real. It’s been a big struggle this winter. I just get sooo happy when I see the sun too!! Love your content 💕💕 STAY HAPPPY!! 😊
I’m from Minnesota and my depression and anxiety was worse with the long winters. I now live in Georgia. Just remember to do your self care that I know you are on top of! You are inspiration to me to have my me time💆🏼♀️💅🏻
I've skated my whole life, coached too. You look good! It's so sweet and your joy makes me smile. Enjoy! Skating is so fun. There's a lot of adults in skating, and it's a friendly bunch.
I love this figure skating story arch! You could totally take it seriously and compete as a beginner level adult, I would love that content so much lol
Transferring buses in any city is tricky; I can’t imagine how it would be in NYC! As my Gramma always said,”If at first you don’t succeed… try, try again.”
I also used to have the same issue with setting the smoke detector off any time I cooked in my old condo; the detector was placed too close to the kitchen, so even baking something in the oven was a problem (forget frying or searing on the stovetop). Since there was a unit above me, the exhaust fan above the stove didn't actually vent the smoke/steam outside and just kicked it back into my unit. What I wound up doing was covering the smoke detector with a shower cap and I never had an issue again. I would leave my step stool directly underneath it so I wouldn't forget to remove it after cooking (because that would be super dangerous). Maybe this will work for your situation, too. 😊
Always check the bus schedule on the transportation site and plan that way!! The bus everywhere is always unreliable but not as much as google maps is when it comes to using that as your bus schedule. You’ve got this!! I took the bus until I got my drivers license at 21 ❤ still opt for public transportation though because parking is not it!!
Fun little MAKEUP TRICK ✨ When you get mascara on your eyelid or accidentally anywhere but your eyelashes, let the mascara dry, and then use a clean lash Spooly to scratch/rub away the mascara, and you won’t have any leftover residue or have to redo your foundation ❤
for the fire alarm while cooking issue - there should be a fan above your hob - the buttons for it may flick down from the top of the hood of the hob turn the fan on when cooking and it should suck up all the cooking fumes/smokiness so that it doesnt go into the fire alarm and make it go off hope that helps!
omg i am in my capri sun era right now. i keep buying the roarin' waters ones! its just flavored water and it makes it so much easier to drink water, lol
I just love these long day in my life's, I could listen to you recap your day ALL day ❤️ Also cannot imagine having to take the bus in NYC. I recently took it in a city I didn't know and I ended up in a random neighborhood completely opposite of where I was trying to go 😂
Yes!!! Usually I can’t film or get much done during the “practice” time, but I could this night because we didn’t have that many people like we usually do!
Lauren you’re so cute. This is literally me with public transportation. I come from a small town so when I moved to a big city, I was like….. what, how, where am I 🫠
Are you so excited about the new album, "The Tortured Poets Department" Taylor announced the other day at the Grammy's?!? Ahhh I am literally counting down the days because I am so freaking excited!!!
Hii! I have been watching your videos for years! I am also a fellow New Yorker and was a competitive figure skater growing up!! After many years I've learned that the thinner the sock the less cold your feet will get and your have more control in your boot. I just skate in pantyhose tight sock things lol (I am sure theres a better way to explain that) and the bunga pads and it really is a game changer! Cold to put on but makes all the difference when skating!
Yes I’ve heard this!!! These skates are used from eBay and have NOOO support at all. Looking into buying skates that have more support + cushion! Do you have recs?
@@TheLaurenNorris Edeas were always my go to boot and I found them super easy to break in over breaking in jacksons. Edeas go up by level so talk to your coach about what the best boot will be for you and how much you plan on committing just because I remember having to switch edea boots once I got to doubles because I needed more support in my ankles that I didn't need for singles. But I love them! Also on the upside they have little crystals embedded in them. I've had my Ice Fly Edeas for years and swear by them. Previously I reacted so bad to new boots and had to basically suffer for a couple of weeks as they broke in tried everything from, baking them in the oven and mold them to my feet, wearing them around the house for hours and just waiting out the blisters where I did not have anywhere near the pain when breaking in new Edeas. Always feel free to reach out!!
I forgot to add there is also boots that are more for Ice dancing versus skills so wwhen purchasing it is always good to chat with the coach. Also the rink might have like a skate sales rep (usually one of the head coaches) who will do consults to size you, Make recs for boots, and what blades would fit!
Like number 8, quickest I have ever been yet but wow no bus, but that sign was definitely talking to you, but sad you are wanting to take more public transport but it’s just not working out for you :( Hopefully if you keep at it, it will work out in your favour, But wow you are really excelling with the skating, you look so comfortable on the ice, Always love to Baby Ele and appreciation to Will and Amy Beth, Keep up the amazing videos ❤
Evidently you and I have the same taste, we both have the same shower curtain. I love it because it is so girly girl looking, and of course, it’s PINK.
I forgot to mention this in your other video, but if you complain to Sweet greens they should be able to give you a refund or just a coupon for two free bowls due to their mistake from the dressings being wrong
Hear me out- try the steak in the air fryer. I have a bigger one since I’m in a house and have more room- but seriously so good in the air fryer. And maybe won’t set the fire alarm off 😂
What size sweater are you wearing in the picture you posted of baby Elles fundraiser/charity proceeds?!?!? Cause I’m about the same size as you and I wanted to ask before I bought it?!?!? If you could let me know, that would be great!! Thanks. Bea. xx
I've been drinking Atkin's cold coffee protein shake things. What's nice is you don't have to make it and get out your coffee pot and everything. It's really good too. Not sponsored. They best way to buy it is through Amazon bulk. I've been on the bus before when it's broken down, and they had to send another bus.
As someone who lives in a northern state and deals with winter and “Winter Blues” because it’s too cold to be outside you lack Vitamin D look into Vitamin D supplements and Magnesium!
Thanks for sharing! I didn’t even think about this. Will def be picking these two things up when I’m out. It’s been hard!! I love walking around outside but with this wind… NOOO
@@TheLaurenNorris If you were on Lexington Avenue you could have just taken the 4/5/6 line to get wherever you were going. Also it's sweetgreen not sweetgreens (no S)
I want a niece. My sister is pregnant with her 3rd. We don't know if it's a boy or girl yet. I want a girl so badly; my sister has 2 boys already. It's easy to set off the fire alarms here too. They say not to open your door because the entire building alarms will go off. So, I'm afraid of frying anything.

A transit app should help with the bus like as an example we have Marta. Also the gift box for your niece is so sweet
Welcome to winter in the north- a lot of people get light therapy lights for this time of year for this reason!
Baby Elle is so cute! ! loved the clips from your. ice skating lesson!
Glad you liked it!!
So proud of you for taking the bus!! I’m a ny/nj native and I think I’ve only ever taken the MTA busses to the airport lol
Thank you!! I’m going to try again when I don’t have somewhere to be LOL
Or the outer boroughs lol!
I love this figure skating story arch! You could totally take it seriously and compete as a beginner level adult, I would love that content so much lol
Welcome to NY in the winter. The sun neverrrrrr comes out on the east coast. That’s what winter ❄️ is!!!
I am actually a Pure Barre instructor so I was excited to see you try to take a class.
Loving the background music in this! Absolute tunes xxx

Not a good idea on delicate skin under or on your eye
I love that you’re watching The Bachelor!
I haven’t in YEARSSS but excited to be back!
"I was like, this is baloney" LMAOOOO IM CRYING
Lauren! Absolutely adore your editing style and your videos just brighten up my day. Keep 'em coming, you make my world happier! 💖
for the fire alarm while cooking issue - there should be a fan above your hob - the buttons for it may flick down from the top of the hood of the hob
turn the fan on when cooking and it should suck up all the cooking fumes/smokiness so that it doesnt go into the fire alarm and make it go off
hope that helps!
The coffee sign was definitely a sign from the lord all mighty!!!
AGREED.
omg i am in my capri sun era right now. i keep buying the roarin' waters ones! its just flavored water and it makes it so much easier to drink water, lol
