tip for grocery shopping in the city- use a basket instead of a cart so then you know when its becoming too heavy to carry (also easier to maneuver around the usually small busy store)
I remember when I first moved to downtown Chicago and was wondering how to go about grocery shopping too! One thing I found helpful was to bring a large, empty backpack with me that had lots of space but I would only keep my keys and wallet in it on the way there, then use that to carry groceries home in. That way you can free up a hand or carry more grocery bags by fitting them in the bag as well as carrying them in both hands. Sounds like a little thing but made my life so much easier on long walks with lots of groceries or in the winter!
I don't know who this is, why I was directed here but stayed and watch some young girl blogging getting ready to go grocery shopping, now I can't stop laughing when she returns home looking like she just left the gym! Lmao
when you said "i'm excited" for trader joe's in manhattan GIRL trader joe's in manhattan, god bless your soul. brooklyn's trader joe's is always packed!
Ahhh I’m a west coast girl always dreamed of seeing the city and living there one day! Get to live vicariously through your awesome videos 😍 congrats on the big move. 🌸💛
i use my air fryer for almost every meal. it completely replaces the need for an oven and (in most cases) a microwave. it heats instantly and cooks things more thoroughly, so it’s way easier and faster
For the gnocchi I put it in a microwave safe bowl and add a tiny pot of water and microwave for a minute and 30 seconds and shake around halfway through. Then I pan fry it a little on the stove to get the edges crispy and throw it in the oven and spray them a little w cooking spray at 425 for 17 mins. They come out so good.
Every time I watch your videos I am immediately energized. You exude such an infectiously motivating vibe. I can't really put it into words, but it's honestly so inspiring watching you achieve your dreams and goals!
i am happy for you so much coz you are living your dream life and you deserve it bcoz u worked really hard for it and i love seeing you in much more success in future coz honestly i think you are hard working girl ever so happy for u
Your NYC content omg 🤩 Also about the air fryer, if you cook a lot I highly recommend an instant pot and I know there are attachments you can buy to use it as an air fryer! It does so much but it's just one appliance so it won't crowd up your kitchen as much!
I recommend you getting a little foldable cart to carry your groceries back or even if you have to do laundry elsewhere. It was a lifesaver when I lived in NY. It makes it a little easier to carry things around when running errands.
if u have amazon prime i believe you can order whole foods groceries delivered to your apartment i saw it on kristee vetter's vlogs she also just moved to nyc
You ladies just stay aware and stay together and be safe! Make sure you always keep your doors and windows locked, maybe even look into a alarm system. You can tell I’m a mother lmao! Great video and you did a great job on your apartment!!! Very cute!!
NYC looks amazing!! Love that you’re living your best life girl!🙌🏻 You inspire me so much! You’re such a girl boss!👍 Hope to be as inspiring of a TH-camr as you!
I Love to watch your videos! I have never been to New York yet but it looks like you fit in just fine! I admire your energy and motivation that you have everyday! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to watching your next video/adventure!
Girl Trader Joe’s deliver in the city! I always used to get everything delivered and it’s like $7 so worth it for me lol , I moved out of NY now but it was fab! Because I also lived on the 5th floor with no elevator lol good luck and have fun!!!

people that actually get an invite for fashion shows.. don't think fashion week is overrated.. ha.. having your friend take your picture on side of the street is not a photo shoot..
I am thinking about getting an apple watch! If you don't mind, can you let me know which watch you have (GPS or GPS + Satellite), which version, and what size?

Thank you so much!! I wish YOU the best👏🏼
Yes air fryer is bomb I just don’t know if you want another appliance in your tiny kitchen
I don't know who this is, why I was directed here but stayed and watch some young girl blogging getting ready to go grocery shopping, now I can't stop laughing when she returns home looking like she just left the gym! Lmao
I live in nyc and always use a backpack as one of my bags when I go grocery shopping because it’s easier to carry :)
How much you pay the rent ?
You inspire me so much and as my dream is to become an engineer or go into business I feel good watching you and get inspired ilyy

You can make the cauliflower gnocci in the oven! It turns out crispy & sooo good! i just add sauce at the end when I take it out.

Loved this video!! I'm watching your NYC videos as I'm packing for my move to Austin and it's making me SO excited!
Just went to Trader Joe’s and bought the tortillas and the lemon chicken! Lol thanks for the recommendation dinner was a hit

My TJs cashiers told me that bake the cauliflower gnocchi in the oven! 400 degrees for like 40 min and they’re super crispy
if u have amazon prime i believe you can order whole foods groceries delivered to your apartment i saw it on kristee vetter's vlogs she also just moved to nyc
My friend has the same problem with the cauliflower gnocchi!! She now roasts them in our lil toaster oven and it tastes so much better!
i use my airfryer almost everyday! you can make the simplest stuff from potatoes to chicken wings without using oil, it definitely is a life changer!
You ladies just stay aware and stay together and be safe! Make sure you always keep your doors and windows locked, maybe even look into a alarm system. You can tell I’m a mother lmao! Great video and you did a great job on your apartment!!! Very cute!!
