Hi friends! In this video we go through the ups and downs of a few days in my life living alone in New York City. Getting introspective in this one, while also putting myself out there to have some fun and make friends in this new online career since I began starting over in my 30's.

LOL we just had an earthquake in NYC! Stay safe out there everyone 💘Have a great weekend + thanks for watching!
I hope you’re doing okay after the earthquake!! 🫶🏻
Had it in NJ too just 10 miles from where I live! Everything was fine thankfully ❤
I thought it was the train going by until it went on a lil too long 😅 So surreal!
I'm glad you're okay, I immediately thought of you when I saw the news! hug from a single older woman from Belgium ❤🌷
@@StefanieHurtado TOO REAL!! lol
when you said that you felt like you belonged it made me so happy for you. Go chelsea❤🎉
❤️❤️
You’re killing it with the sponsor segments 😂🤣. And your roomie is hawt! 😉
Honestly your ads are the best of the best. I acutally watch them without realising I'm watching them. Often I skip through other people's sponsored content. Go you!
I’ve never realized this before until you started talking about your hair, but you would look fantastic with a short style-think Michelle Williams or Winona Ryder or Mia Farrow kind of pixie. Yes, short hair can be intimidating but done right it’s so feminine and flattering. And you have AMAZING bone structure and eyes that would pop with a short cut. Gorgeous ❤
Ahhh well thank you ❤️used to have that haircut but struggled to feel like myself for some reason! Maybe it’s worth another shot
@@ChelseaCallahan there are so many variations of pixies - I could also see some longer pieces framing your face. Like I can see this, and it’s so good! (No pressure 😘)
@@tjp7342I have left her the same suggestion some time ago. She DOES have the bone structure..the face..the confidence to pull off an ultra short, feminine pixie..
Completely agree. My hair when longer looks so bad but when it is cut shorter it is suddenly full of volume 😅😅😅 plus it suits me better too
@@albilevizm me too. As I have aged my hair has gotten thinner. I keep it short which gives it volume. Plus I just like pixies. They are modern and cool.
I literally stop what I'm doing to watch your vlogs.
Its true: in my 30s I started to notice how everything seems like 50 steps before actually doing what I want. I want to go running but first I have to: find clean clothes for running, find my running shoes, pack my small bag w essentials, make my hair in a way that doesnt go to my face while running, start an app, take everything my dog needs(bcs Im taking dog w me), check if theres any trash to throw bcs Im practical and I want to make that task when Im already going out of my house. Same w gym, pool, everywhere I go, or every activity I want to do requires 50 steps.
Love seeing you singing! We, as adults, need to "play" more. Play is so important for mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. Just letting go and not caring what you look/sound like. Bravo!
Hi. Regarding your hair. SATIN. Wear a sleep cap lined in SATIN. Kitsch has one I like. Makes a major difference in breakage and hair health. Also, satin scrunchies. Cotton ones pull your hair out. You can also wear a satin head wrap or a satin pillowcase. I’ve tried those but it makes me too sweaty. You will see a difference. Also, only use a wide tooth comb on wet hair. If you’re interested in vitamins. Flax seed in pill and also food form( sprinkled on yogurt) really helps with hair health. ❤ One more thing. Get rid of your hairdryer that’s also a brush. My hairdresser told me that they are the cause of so much hair loss. Invest in a good hairdryer and a ceramic brush.
If the satin pillowcase makes you hot, you may want to try out a silk one! Pricey and more maintenance when washing (kind of a pain to wash actually lol), but the silk doesn’t make me hot and actually still feels cool to me in the morning! And I’m a hot sleeper lol ❤ I’ve never tried the caps so I can’t speak on those. But I love the Kitsch satin hair drying wraps too!
Yeah that hairdryer looks like it was made to rip things out.
Therez a product called Gro Back that seems legit . By Suzanne Somers . Worth investigating
Eating enough protein is super important for hair, skin and nails. Collagen supplements rock. I add collagen powder to my tea or coffee.
Definitely! My tips are 1. Never sleeping on wet hair 2. Using heat less curling rod to bed 3. Using leave in conditioner and heat protectant 4. Only washing twice per week 5. DITCHING Olaplex! It’s too heavy for thin hair 6. Occasionally using a detox shampoo
I am in my 30s as well but I live in a small town. Well, I love when videos seem more natural and real, not perfectly edited, always glowing etc. That's what I am staying for;)
I feel you with the hair situation but you know what? youre smile is so pretty that nobody cares... but I know it feels so scary when it feels that there is only few strands left..
i met my husband on bumble! together for 6 years, married for 1. top tier ads chelsea. love your vids.
I'm a 52 yr old woman living alone in bfe TX where I know 2 people distantly and no family, your videos definitely make me feel less alone ❤ Prince Edgar Flan 🤣
Howdy from Houston, Texas 🤠
I hope her date went okay! 😅♥ I love nothing more than youtubers that are just raw and honest, in stead of just pretending everything is fine all the time and look at me im influencing and happy all the time! its not natural. You are just so relatable ♥ We're all human and have ups and downs. Nothing is 100% perfect.
Chelsea, you are so naturally funny! "Finance bro karaoke" and "look at my catch of the day" had me LAUGHING. Thank you :)
❤ for the dating-Chelsea, she's slaaaaayyyying the outfit!
Fun video! Cool to see you hanging with Alexis and doing karaoke. 😊 The Bumble ad was so good too. You really know how to make the sponsor ads enjoyable to watch. Have a great week! 😊
❤❤❤
Chelsea! Another great sponsor "commercial". I love them! So creative!! :)
Chelsea I feel like that every time you update us about your life you are growing ! Keep up the great work !
seriously best vlog yet - top tier sponsor "ad break" and it was just too perfect with you & alexis ending up at karaoke 😄this internet stranger is super proud of you! 💓
❤️❤️
The ending part of the video of NY in Spring was like something out of a movie, great run too…love the video
I feel like I have gotten so close to you. I love it. You genuinely feel like a friend or a big sister.
Hey Chelsea,
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I'm tuning in all the way from Greece, and I'm a huge fan of your content! Your everyday life videos are such a breath of fresh air, especially being from a place so far from mine. I make sure to share your channel with all my friends, telling them how cool it is to connect with someone across the globe through your videos. Keep up the fantastic work, Chelsea! Your passion and authenticity shine through, and I'll continue to support you however I can. Sending lots of love from Greece! ❤"
Hey! Wow thank you so much ❤️
I jjjjjjjust started my Base Training for NYC 26.2!
Ooof I have a LOT of work to do. Its hard to movitvate. The weather has sucked. And its been so long since Ive done a race. But seeing you self motivate and train motivates me. Thanks for that. And for showing us the beautiful Cherry Blossom trees in CP🗽🌸
Omggggg dee! Congratulations! 🎉 you got this
@@ChelseaCallahan Thank you> Im terrified.I haven't done a 26.2 since 2014 NYC 26.2! Yikes. Ive had sone injuries. Deferred 2019 bc of that. then 2020. Chose 2023. MORE injuries. I HAVE to make this happen. You for real help me motivate. Running in NYC is so beautiful...bc we are all out there together. BUT it can be lonely. That's the hard part for ke. Running upstate NY SUUUUCKS. But I'M GONNA DO THIS. thanks so much for replying. You're the best!
I’ve had alot of rejection! It’s def been redirection. When it happens, the pain oh the pain, i curse the universe and feel sorry for myself; sometimes for years! But yes, it’s been lessons and i’ve risen stronger from each and every one.
Today I was reminded (when i was feeling sorry for myself that i’m single); that i don’t know 1 couple which relationship i would want with a partner.
What does that mean? I gathered it meant that i’m trying to create something new and that’s does not come easy or quick. Or i could have just settled with Joe down the street. Like many of my friends did, feeling deeply unhappy and underappreciated right now. Done that. I know what i want and yes it comes with pain and lots of patience. That’s why most won’t do it.
When you said you wanted a job, i was like: no? She’s suppose to do this! She can’t go back corporate 😅❤ my intutiton just screamed.
And i need to trust that more for myself (it’s easier for other somehow? 😂?).
Every time I see your kitchen I smile. Just love the color and looks so homey, comfortable. 😊
"Rejection is redirection"
Definitely needed to hear that today, and it really does make sense. Even though, in the moment, it kills
Your life is unfolding as it should, I for one am so pleased you didn’t stay in Seattle, and your community on here is the richer for it ❤. I’m loving the prep for the run, it’s tough and you’ve embraced it with your usual commitment. I just love your channel and your energy Chelsea ❤❤❤
My hair fell out dramatically after having covid. I’ve been using rosemary oil (because you mentioned it in a previous video!) and a bond repair treatment which has been really helping!
Yay new video got the notification and got so exited and then I read the title and knew this is exactly what I need today. Thank youuu Chelsea!!💕💕😊
Love your vlogs chelsea ❤. Lots of love ❣️you are so real for sharing your ups as well as downs . Its just a breath of fresh air
Love you vlogs! They always inspire me to keep working on mine 🫶🏽
I get so excited when I see your videos pop up on my feed😙
Your videos just keep getting better and better Chelsea. The karaoke with Alexis was the best! So fun!
Thank You for your honesty and good sense of humor! I love the way u live authenticity!
You put me in such a good mood :) Thank you so much Chelsea :)
love your videos Chelsea! you're such a calming chill relatable vibe that I need so much
CHELSEA I love your videos.
I needed that message of the vlog - thank you Chelesa for sharing
You cheer me up, thank you! Watching your vlogs is so calming. Wish you only the best and stay with us as long as you can!😇
That why i watch your videos so real and relatable!
First hour crew - I'm here! Always a good day when Chelsea uploads!
🥰
Nice to see you again. Congrats on that long run. Keep enjoying yourself!
You are such a lovely person - love your honest vlogs. Look forward to them so much! ❤
Couldn’t click on a video fast enough. Love your sponsor skits! ❤
nothing better than a cup of morning coffe and your new upload
Love your videos! Thank you for being yourself and showing real life, like cleaning. I’m glad you go out and show us the city, it feels like I’m going out too! ❤
btw, I completely get why you want to live in NY. I've been there enough times to know that it isn't all happy Woody Allen movie music and films all the time. It has grit and dirt, and it's expensive, and lots to avoid. But there's so much LIFE, and art, and things to do all the time. And you capture the streets so beautifully with your videos and music. Just want to say congrats on finding your place there. That in itself is an accomplishment!
Chelsea, I came across your channel last weekend. Such a lovely, honest, down to earth time watching your videos. You have a great sense of humour! Way to go with your running. I really enjoy your videos. It's like catching up with a wonderful friend each time I watch and being entertained at the same time. Wishing you the best.
A newer follower of Alexis E's youtube but found her through you and now I follow along with both of you guys. Love when there is a mashup of creators, like you're in her video or she's in yours. Also your thoughtful voiceover reflections are my favorite parts of your videos. And the witty captions in the videos of course. Thank you!! ❤
I'm soooo glad you wore the flower earrings! They were so cute and perfect for the brunch event!
I look forward to your videos. Your voice is calming and what I need at times.
Awww your full circle moment of working next to the venue then you went for an event in the same venue you walk by to go to work is WILD ! Then having a blast with a new bestie. Honestly I live for those moments. The growth, the vision and inspiration! Love to see it happen! 🥹🖤😭✨
your apartment is starting to really come together! i love the color palette that's happening
Hi Chelsea! Just wanted to say how much I love your videos & how inspiring you are. I've just turned 30 this year, and I'm 're-starting' my life after a couple of years in recovery. Your videos are lovely to watch and super encouraging so thank you for making them! Love from New Zealand ❤
With your hair being so thin, you should try a short asymmetrical bob, flattering with super fine hair😉
My hair is as fine and thin as Chelsea’s and I find a short bob is the most flattering and easy care hair cut. I can still add some beach waves or do a blow out if I want to zhuzh it up.
Your hair is absolutely coming on in leaps and bounds. I noticed even before you washed and dried it that your scalp definitely looks fuller. I’m so happy for you x
Wow thank you for saying that and for noticing!! That made me feel better about it ❤️
I’m so proud of you girl ❤
Crushing those miles! As always love the vlogs ❤
Loved loved loved your date outfit. Also loved the shots of NYC after your run. Such a nice catch up blog. Nice events too. Happy for you! 🎉
This is a tiny tiny unrelated thing, but little shelf in the kitchen above the sink, and with the under-cabinet lights, looks so amazing! I have really loved watching your apartment come together piece by piece - I did not take that route at all and put myself in debt and stress to make it all cozy immediately. Your way is the better way and it's so rewarding to see you live it - and I'll bet more rewarding to be in the cozy space itself after all your hard work and time. Thanks for sharing it.
Love these realistic vlogs!
Hey Chelsea! Lovely to see your videos again after a busy couple weeks. My least favorite thing to clean? THE FLOORS! I appreciate your high-five 😆
Love watching your vlogs while eating lunch! xx
Love your roommate- she's a hoot! Your average pace for that run was amazing! So happy for your new hair growth! Can't believe you're almost at 100K! Random comments for the random vlog :)
Lol, your commercials are hands down the best, I almost signed up for Bumble and I’m married! 😂 love this vlog, your time with Alexis and your sense of humor! ❤
I just found your channel and OMG I’m in love! Also in my 30s and seeing you navigate life so honestly and openly is amazing. Even hearing about the hair extensions not being good for your self perception, just hit because ITS SO TRUE. I did the same with self tanning- I had to stop because as soon as it would fade away my perception of myself was trash city. Ugh I’m so excited to have found you! 🤗
I’ve been dealing with hair loss and thinning for the last 5 years and I feel your pain - the latest shedding cycle has led me to try to go down the doctors route again but it’s hard. Thank you for talking about it on your channel, i think it’s so difficult to go through and it makes me feel less alone when you talk about your own journey so thank you ❤ sending you all the healthy hair growth vibes! I can’t leave my hair down because it sheds so excessively and washing it is always stressful but have recently found a French braid is helping with keeping my hair look a little less messy and it doesn’t pull!
Almost teared up when you said you felt like you belonged!!! That’s so huge I’m so happy for you 🫶🏻
I want to replay you first 4 minutes of video over and over. I think you glossed over it, but man were you spot on!
“It’s hard to be grateful for losing something you wanted in the moment, but in hindsight it’s a gift.” Trusting what is meant for you will find you in due time!
Love to see you with Alexis she's another one of my favs :)
Ayeee, im early for once!!! Yay always so happy to watch your videos ❤❤
Hi! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE you and your channel. I can't stop watching! Ive been with my husband for 23 years so i am a long way away from my single days but I remember I had ONE YEAR in-between my ex boyfriend and my husband where I was single lived alone in an apartment in a strange city going to college and working in a restaurant and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I love being married but I often wish I could have gotten a couple more years to live that Life. Finding yourself is such a great thing. I will keep watching your videos for life !Best of luck with everything!
❤️❤️❤️
Yes! Cleaning the tub- the worst chore for sure.
Whenever I see a new video from you, I look forward to getting to sit down to watch it :)
❤ loved it, thanks for inspiring me for my own vids girl!
Great another Chelsea video,nice to relax with on a Friday evening as it,s raining and snowing here in Stockholm,have a great weekend Chelsea many greetings from Stockholm Sweden
The peach slices brand is my favorite!! the snail products are so nice. Also love seeing you and Alexis together :) hope you're doing well!!
Oh my gosh your creator meet up looked amazing! Still watching, haven't had time for long comments, too busy. Life changes, Pacific Rim getting crazier by the day. Planning a move back to the mainland. Loved the last thrift shop vid. Doing great girl! Keep up the good work! And random Stuff is fun! So just keep doing you! We love you, "just as you are"!😊
❤Aloha
Amor fati - a love of fate! It's a latin saying that Nietzsche took up and made his own philosophy. He explained: "One wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backwards, not in all eternity. Not barely bear what is necessary still les conceal it - all idealisms is mendaciousness in the face of what is necessary - but love it." I think about that a lot when times are tough.
GROWTH!!! hair, mental, life, u got it all girlllllll, U BETTER WORK!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Your subscribers are growing sooo fast ! You’re really good at the sponsorship segments ! Also for your hair maybe you can try some hair oil ? I’ve used mielle rosemary mint hair oil & although Ive never experienced thinning in my hair i did experience some breakage and it has helped so just a suggestion if you’re interested!
thank you for a new video , I love it !!!!
I love your blanket/throw you use on your couch!
Hey, Chelsea! Put white vinegar down your bathtub drain..... it works & will not hurt the plumbing at all - - also cheap & cheerful!
Aww Chelsea you looked lovely on your way out. I'm glad you enjoyed the events x
I went through a period of hair loss as well and it sucked! But I wanted to say that it did get better for me and seeing all the regrowth is a really good sign.
What a cozy vlog you have ❤
Hi Chelsea! New subscriber from the UK 🇬🇧 . I searched ‘my first marathon’ and found you. I’ve binged every.single.one of your vlogs and I’m now a fan. I’m so happy I found your channel. ❤️
Oh hey welcome!!
Years and years ago, I had a good friend that lost a lot of hair because she was under so much stress. Maybe now that your life isn’t as hectic as it once was, you will start to see more growth. Good luck, Chelsea. 🙂
Loved seeing you let loose and karaoke with a friend! So much fun!! 🥳 And you inspired me again with another amazing run in your training journey, my dear. I had a bit of a marathon challenge in my own world (writing, not running) that wrecked me in a very good way. I will now go face plant into the pillow with pride. Clink, clink , Chelsea C! Here’s to moving mountains and then resting deep. ☕️❤️☕️
oooh a writing marathon?! sounds like a wild experience :) clink clink!
@@ChelseaCallahan it was indeed! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You and Alexis, so fun!
I actually enjoy your ads 😅 I wonder how the date went ❤️ 🎉 yea I had bad luck with dating.. so this year is pushing myself to do better for me
Hi Chelsea, happy Friday to you! Your Bumble sponsor skit was cute.
Your shots of the city are excellent!
You’re so inspiring!!❤
NOT MY TWO FAVE NYC TH-camRS IN ONE VIDEO 😭 im not crying you are! Also I live in MA and I was at work when it the earthquake hit and I was hella confused lmao
The denim dress!! 💗
so real. love it !
Such a lovely video, Chelsea! Those events looked like fun for sure! 🎉 I was inspired to run changing my metrics to miles. They feel much longer than kilometers! Haha. Keep up the good work 💪🏽
I love when my favorite shows do crossovers! 😍
