I’m a 37 year old mom of 5, recently diagnosed with ADHD, recovering from childhood trauma, and deep in the throes of burnout. Your content has legitimately been life changing for me. I’ve since rearranged our home and lives to make space and time for coziness and recreation, and we’re all feeling so much better for it. Thank you!
I really needed the message about operating in your capacity and not feeling guilty about it. My husband and I moved into our first home 3 months ago and I became pregnant 2 months ago! I've been feeling exhausted from the pregnancy and so sad that I'm not as productive as I used to be. I hardly have motivation and energy to wash the dishes, let alone deep clean and reorganize our new home. I normally would have the desire and energy to push through a whole home organization within a week and that's just not the case right now. Your words touched my heart and made me feel okay. Thank you.
Plant person here... so the "droopy one is called a rattlesnake plant, it is also known as a prayer plant because it opens during the day and closes at night to absorb light. It is a low light plant so it's not getting droopy, that's just how it lives! And for the ZZ plant, honestly those almost never need water. I water mine like every month and it's in terra cotta so super breathable pot. They also don't need much light.
Hey Kennedy, I found your videos while recovering from career burnout and a breakup, and I just wanted to say having you on in the background has been bringing me so much comfort! Love from the UK xx
If there’s brown leaves at the bottom of the plant and new growth at the top, that means it’s getting rid of older leaves to use the energy to grow new ones
Love the video. DON'T water the ZZ plant as often as the others. It can go a loooong time without water. A good tip is to stick your finger in the soil to make sure it's dry before watering!
Gotta say, your content has been such a light in the storm for me lately. Thank you for the lil moment at the end about normalizing lower-energy seasons of life! I’m in one of those right now, & it makes all the difference to hear people normalize that 💛 Lovely video, sending hugs!
For nighttime skincare: maybe try adding a micell water cleanse after the face wipe with a cotton pad? It would help benefit getting your skin more clean from the days makeup/sunscreen. Otherwise, do what works for you! Something is def better than nothing
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you. I have been sick these past few days, but your video motivated me to get out of bed and take some small steps in decluttering my room. Please make more of these videos they are so motivating :)
I love organization and decluttering videos! My household is sick right now so this has been perfect to watch while drinking tea and having soup. I'm wondering if a makeup palette organizer might help with your cases.
The rattlesnake calathea is probably drooping because it’s thirsty! In general for your plants to thrive I would recommend taking the nursery pots out of the cover pots and letting water run through the nursery pot in either the sink or tub. Only put back in the cover pot once the nursery pot has drained completely (like 20 mins). Watering directly in the cover pot can cause water to settle in a puddle at the bottom leading to root rot. Water whenever the top couple inches of soil are dry - probably about every other week
Ok, you just solved one of my (granted very small, but important to me) issues I've been having! Lots of spicy brain over here and I've been trying really hard to dial in my habits, and skin care is something I've struggled with for literally years. Once i'm in bed and realize I forgot to do it...AGAIN..I just say meh whatever. But I just made a note to get a little basket to keep it by my bed! GENIUS!!!! Thank you!
It’s a hard life when you’re a person who loves having stuff around the house and showcasing personality in your styling, but is also messy lol Been battling myself my whole adult life with this problem. Love decluttering and organizing though it’s very therapeutic 🌺
Exactly what I needed to motivate me to organize my stuff ! There's just something about your vlogs, they're very comforting and inspiring. I love the Stardew, Animal Crossing and Cult of the lamb soundtracks for this episode.
The bedside skin care routine is genius! Implemented it in my room and I have not missed a morning/night yet and that’s never happened before. I usually start a routine strong but then quickly fade out. This has been a game changer! Thanks for sharing!
I use those tiny acrylic drawer organizers to further organize my junk drawer like items. Love them for storing batteries, first aid kits, cords/chargers and other smaller items that would normally get just thrown in one drawe
yesss i love these kinda vids cause i play with in the background whenever im cleaning, dilly dallying, or doing my makeup. its just so calming to me hehe
Thank you for this video, and what you said at the end about doing what you can do. I am currently sitting in my trash heap of a room, because I’m going through some burnout… which means I’ve had almost no energy to do anything. Watching this has inspired me to take the boxes that have been in here outside. I might add another task once I get going (probably laundry), but if I don’t, at least the boxes are out. Thank you so much for this video bestie 💚💚💚
The Rattlesnake Plant (the one with the dark stripes) does better with less watering -- let the soil dry out heteeen waterings. Also, it does fine in low light. The leaves move during the day, so they are supposed to be perky part of the day and droopy others! They are part of the prayer plant family, and thoae guys are known for their "dancing" leaves. So don't worry if she looks droopy sonetimes, she's supposed to! From the bit we see in the video, she looks happy and healthy to me!
i've had the opposite experience with my calatheas - the moment they get even a little dry, the instantly die. idk if it has to do with climate - i live in the desert so it's super dry where i am
@@MilesToGoGo Interesting. I was told to let them dry between waterings out and not over water them, and I have had great luck with mine watering once a week for a year now! The only time I've killed one was due to over watering. But, we get pretty even temperatures here in the Bay Area, so that might help
here for the bedside skincare routine. i felt so seen when you said you were the sleepiest girl ever and it was either skincare or sleep and sleep always wins. THIS IS ME TOO! thanks for the great idea. 🫶🏼
Ooooh I love the skincare bedside setup! That’s so smart! I get the same feeling about making minor adjustments to how something “should” be and making it work for you, so simple yet can be such a game changer! Micellar water came to mind instead of makeup wipes cause that’s what I see all the makeup girlies using. Also vanlifers/campers may have some cool tricks for this too since they don’t always have access to water.
I'm non-binary but still an ADHD ✨ girlie ✨. I am so guilty of not making accommodations for myself because I managed to do the thing one time. I need food delivery, too! I have support needs but deep down somehow don't think I deserve them. Thanks for this video ❤
Kennedy girl you've influenced me 😂 When I started watching your content I was a bit confused by your love of brown bc it's just a colour I never really went for in clothes and decor - and now I'm slowly transitioning from black being my go-to neutral in clothes to brown, haha. I was a fool, I was blind and you opened my eyes.
Was (with full intention) gonna binge re-watch some of my faves of your cleaning, organising and reset type vlogs today and then I saw you dropped this new gem with all the vibes... Which will be rewatched many times! 💜💜🤎✨+ thank you for sharing where you got the cute bread sweatshirt ❤️... will be heading straight to mualcaina when she is back 😍
We've had to do a HUGE decluttering in our house. We had sooo much stuff we bought for no reason that we don't want anymore. It's so nice to be back to a more cozy minimalist house 💕
1:06:00 thank you for saying that😢❤ sometimes i feel just so lazy for not being able to finish my to do list or for not cleaning enough, and i end up feeling pretty bad about it. So thank you for saying that and for making these (in my opinion) comfort videos, they help me relax or i turn your videos on when i am doing something myself as background noise❤
Bedside skin care routine is a great idea. 😮I love what you said about finding what works for you and not worrying about how other people do it. I’ve only recently come to this conclusion myself.
One thing I learned recently about watering plants is not to use cold water. It can cause shock and damage to the plants, so try to use room temp water whenever possible!
I went through a pretty bad break up this year and slowly the chaos of piles of clothes, dishes, and trash has been building up in my tiny apartment. Every day I wake up and immediately put my head phones on to try to escape the reality I faced which was my home. I dreaded coming home to, what once was my sanctuary of peace. The bulk of my mess is clothes. I’ve spent over half of my life dealing with the chaos that is my wardrobe. aka. Piles of clothes just everywhere. I have had an op shopping addiction for the last 5 years so that hasn’t helped. It’s gotten so bad I started asking god for help 😂. Yesterday he answered my prayers and I found the energy to sort my clothes into piles to donate, throw away, and keep. I’ve now cut down my wardrobe and have washed and donated 80% of the clothes. I finally have a dressers worth of clothes. I hope I can maintain a routine of putting them away and keeping up with my laundry by the time I hit 30 this year. I’ve struggled with the tasks of cleaning, specifically laundry and dishes, my entire life. I get overwhelmed by noises and clutter so I’d often resort to just stay in bed and escape through social media and Netflix. I like what you said about not doing something the way everyone else does. Who wrote the book of cleaning and organising your life anyways? We’re all so uniquely different. I will be moving my toothbrush to my bed along with some other things that I’ve been ignoring. I think I got used to living in chaos from a young age but as I get older and wiser I realise I don’t HAVE TO live like that. Just because you come from a burning home doesn’t mean the world is on fire…. (Even though it is..)… Nonetheless, I listened to this video in its entirety and I’m resting after spending an hour throwing away expired antidepressants and various “what if” bottles of girly things. It was quite poetic seeing how far I’ve come based on the things I no longer depend on to survive another day in this world. I’m doing just fine. Thank you.
I really appreciate this vlog. I love all your content, especially the cozy hobbies but it sometimes feels so unattainable for me to achieve the same aesthetic and feeling since I work full time so it was so lovely to see the other side of your life. The jam packed random drawers we all have, cleaning out the hairs clogging the hoover, cleaning up after pets. Made me realise youre still a normal person like us, putting off the icky or tedious tasks, showing only the fun parts of life. I just really needed to watch this today!
feeling grateful that your preparation and luck met for this channel to exist and reach my humble screen! I love the space you've created and that we get to be here
Hi Ken!! I love watching your vlogs and this one is definitely one I'll come back to in the future for when I'm cleaning and organizing! 🩷 I only saw it for a second but the little mini mat/rug you have under your switch dock on your desk is so adorable!! 1:04:07 I hope you are doing well and remember to rest and relax after a long day! 😁
that droopy plant is a calathea! She is perfectly fine, the leaves are very healthy. They're called prayer plants because during the day, they droop and absorb as much sunlight as possible, and during the night time their leaves turn upward and even curl up sometimes to preserve moisture. Totally normal, she may want to be watered a little more often if you live in a dry climate, she likes humidity.
I found another video of yours randomly in the past few days and I've never been happier, your videos are so much fun, it feels like I'm just sitting and chatting with a friend. Thank you for your videos and all the work you do to create them! You 100% have a new sub 🤗
The plant at 15:50 is a ZZ plant and doesn't need to be watered very often. Depending on how much sun it gets, I'd maybe water that once every few weeks to once a month. The one at 16:05 is a Dieffenbachia (some people call it dumb cane) and it likes more water! The most helpful suggestion I can give you for that one is to pick up the nursery pot inside the decorative pot and plop the whole thing in a bucket or sink with a few inches of water in it once every week or two, then let it drain and put it back in the white pot. They really like to be bottom-watered! I'm super late so you probably already got these answers but maybe my comment will help someone else :)
Reallyenjoyed your music and wztching you organized: Im a Grandma and think about the wzy I was and wgat made me happiest in the day tjen and how I can made the now more meaningful happier and engerized! 71 feel great but life has really changed. Thank you for your insight and cozy this and that's. I liked your plants and cat! Have a great day to day! My name is Sharon live in ohio ; ! Have a husbans and raising a grandson who is 8 now got him at age 2. 😊 Blessings always !
Exactly what I need!! I put most of my clothes on the floor bc I wanna reorganize some stuff but I'm too lazy to actually do it and tidy up lol. This is perfect motivation.
Yes ~ I use those laundry sheets also....fyi ~ you can tear those sheets in pieces and place them in the laundry soap dispenser part. It works great!!! 💜
plant lady here!! your ZZ plant thrives off of neglect! i water mine once a month(honestly every other month lbr) and she's just fine. they're good with low light, and low light means you need to water less frequently :>
this! a ZZ plant really likes to dry out, so I typically bottom water for about 10 minutes, once a week. i would also just go ahead and pluck those yellow leaves; they could recover but you'll actually get more new growth if you just pluck them and let the plant focus on new leaves.
Needed both cozy vibes and work vibes for this slow Monday morning so this was the perfect video. I'm def a shove packer but using compression travel bags has been a total game changer for me lately!
-do the skincare wipe, I really like burt's bees and I think they make my skin feel moisturized afterwards AND they take the makeup off so well -bring a wet paper towel or something to wipe off the wipe residue while in bed -have a moisturizer next to you that's perfect imo and you can do the rest after the mornign shower
i liveee for these cozy/motivating vlogs♡ also as an avid sjm fan your points abt silver flames are so true--you can see the same patterns in her crescent city books too like the more mainstream she's gotten the more rushed her writing feels. thats why i just read throne of glass over and over lol
Whatever beauty PR you get and don't use or want, please donate to a woman's shelter. They really could use the products and it brightens their day. They also take partially used.
Tip for getting rid of the PR you or your friends aren't going to use: donate items to a local woman's shelter. Many people have to leave situations abruptly without being able to take those things, and we all know how expensive skincare is to replace. Just an idea! ✨
Its so reassuring to see that other people accumulate the same junk that I do (especially the things in the utility closet and all the cords). It can honestly be so overwhelming
Love Chila's "oh crap you got me" look in the hamper. Also i've read that dying leaves are ok! That means the plant is producing new one and those are just old. It's yellow, droopy leaves you need to worry about.
i've never seen a video of yours but you are a genius for creating something like this! It helped me stay motivated while i was cleaning out my closet and building furniture, so THANK YOU!
Weird situation, started cleaning watching this and was putting some books away. Then the power in the house goes out. I go to investigate, I start wiping down the stove while out there because I notice it’s dirty, just as you mention getting distracted 😅 but as you said, it’s okay!! Then as I finish cleaning that, you mention Ali Haywood and Love Theoretically… THE BOOK I WAS LAST PUTTING AWAY!! 🙌🏾 I’ve been reminded of my initial task, so now I’m off to not let the power outage take away from my witching hour cleaning girly antics!! 😤
15:38 I’m a plant mama lol that is a beautiful rattle snake plant which is a prayer plants it’s leaves go up and down it’s how it got its name. The leaves follow the sun/light. It looks really good and healthy just keep doing what’s your doing it looks really happy.
loved this video!! just FYI, if that compost bin is smelly, any fabrics in that closet with it will be smelly too - so you may want to move it away from those hand towels!!
♥️ My first time catching your channel. Chose it for MOTIVATION💪🏽 Because of the length and ideas for organizing. Time for more storage. In the meantime I am trying to figure out where to put things to have home.
I’m a 37 year old mom of 5, recently diagnosed with ADHD, recovering from childhood trauma, and deep in the throes of burnout. Your content has legitimately been life changing for me.

that makes me happier than you know!!🤎
Mom of 5! Rooting for you, you're awesome
Im glad that your feeling better! prayed for you and your family in Jesus name❤
Hopefully ur life keeps going well cheering for you

I LOVE that you uploaded a body doubling vlog!! Thank you for motivating us peeps to be productive as well!!
🫶🏽🫶🏽
i've never heard this term before. i love it and have really enjoyed it more in my life lately :)
I love using them as a rest video cos they don’t distract me to go on a side quest (unlike art, cooking or science).
I've heard of people giving away PR to womens shelters! That could be a good option for items you don't think you'll use :)
amazing!! i’ll look for some in LA, thank you!
I really needed the message about operating in your capacity and not feeling guilty about it. My husband and I moved into our first home 3 months ago and I became pregnant 2 months ago! I've been feeling exhausted from the pregnancy and so sad that I'm not as productive as I used to be. I hardly have motivation and energy to wash the dishes, let alone deep clean and reorganize our new home.

Removing the brown leaves helps a lot for new growth! Plucking the brown leaves from the base of the plant is the best way to do it. 🌿
Hey Kennedy, I found your videos while recovering from career burnout and a breakup, and I just wanted to say having you on in the background has been bringing me so much comfort! Love from the UK xx
If there’s brown leaves at the bottom of the plant and new growth at the top, that means it’s getting rid of older leaves to use the energy to grow new ones
Literally screamed when i saw the thumbnail. We love a cleaning and organizing video :3
You are the reason I hear animal crossing music in my head when doing house work now😂 Thank you for making these!!
girl you have NO IDEA how comforting and motivating these videos are 🤎
ty girl :’)
The music on this vlog is *chefs kisses*! I love these kind of vlogs for when I’m working. It helps me be less grumpy haha
Love the video. DON'T water the ZZ plant as often as the others. It can go a loooong time without water. A good tip is to stick your finger in the soil to make sure it's dry before watering!

Yes! My ADHD brain thanks you for this lol. I will probably rewatch this many times for motivation to clean and declutter my house. 😊
Micellar water for the nightime removal, I drench my cotton pads with it and it gets off so much more than makeup remover wipes.
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you. I have been sick these past few days, but your video motivated me to get out of bed and take some small steps in decluttering my room. Please make more of these videos they are so motivating :)
i’m so glad!! will do🫡
I love organization and decluttering videos! My household is sick right now so this has been perfect to watch while drinking tea and having soup. I'm wondering if a makeup palette organizer might help with your cases.

Oh ty I think you just explained why my plant has been looking awful recently. Is there a way to save it ?
I so enjoyed watching you talk to your plants.
Hearing Cult of The Lamb during the organization = niiiiiiiice.
Haha I had the same thought ! This game soundtrack is so good
Ok, you just solved one of my (granted very small, but important to me) issues I've been having! Lots of spicy brain over here and I've been trying really hard to dial in my habits, and skin care is something I've struggled with for literally years. Once i'm in bed and realize I forgot to do it...AGAIN..I just say meh whatever. But I just made a note to get a little basket to keep it by my bed! GENIUS!!!! Thank you!
It’s a hard life when you’re a person who loves having stuff around the house and showcasing personality in your styling, but is also messy lol
Been battling myself my whole adult life with this problem. Love decluttering and organizing though it’s very therapeutic 🌺
You should see if your area has a buy nothing group, it's the most eco friendly way to declutter! 🌱💚
great idea!!
Exactly what I needed to motivate me to organize my stuff ! There's just something about your vlogs, they're very comforting and inspiring. I love the Stardew, Animal Crossing and Cult of the lamb soundtracks for this episode.
This vid helped me cleaning my room for 1 hour straight! Thank you❤
Plant tip! Make sure to water your plants with room temp water, super cold water/hot water can put your plants into a shock :)

Totally normal, she may want to be watered a little more often if you live in a dry climate, she likes humidity.
you actually posted this at the PERFECT time. I have been meaning to clean my room for a while but no motivation too, THANK YOUU
Loved everything about this video!!! Your white kitty had so much fun watching you organize.
I found another video of yours randomly in the past few days and I've never been happier, your videos are so much fun, it feels like I'm just sitting and chatting with a friend. Thank you for your videos and all the work you do to create them! You 100% have a new sub 🤗
thank you!!!
saved this video to watch during my sunday reset! perfect vibes for body doubling 💖
I'm fully eyes closed vibing to the music while you organize the office dresser, this song is so good
It's from cult of the lamb (in case you were curious about it :))
@@Em-fz5uh thank you!! I loved it so much
@@okgoose No problem ! I love it too. Although it's kicking my ass pretty bad, it's a great game. I had the music stuck in my head afterwards lol.
thank you for keeping me company while I cleaned and organized my whollllle laundry room! 🫶🏻
I came to TH-cam looking for “background videos” for while I clean, how perfect this is!
The plant at 15:50 is a ZZ plant and doesn't need to be watered very often. Depending on how much sun it gets, I'd maybe water that once every few weeks to once a month. The one at 16:05 is a Dieffenbachia (some people call it dumb cane) and it likes more water! The most helpful suggestion I can give you for that one is to pick up the nursery pot inside the decorative pot and plop the whole thing in a bucket or sink with a few inches of water in it once every week or two, then let it drain and put it back in the white pot. They really like to be bottom-watered! I'm super late so you probably already got these answers but maybe my comment will help someone else :)
I love how you spoke on functional over aesthetic for things! I’m the same way if I don’t see it I will forget it’s there
Reallyenjoyed your music and wztching you organized: Im a Grandma and think about the wzy I was and wgat made me happiest in the day tjen and how I can made the now more meaningful happier and engerized! 71 feel great but life has really changed. Thank you for your insight and cozy this and that's. I liked your plants and cat! Have a great day to day! My name is Sharon live in ohio ; ! Have a husbans and raising a grandson who is 8 now got him at age 2. 😊 Blessings always !
Exactly what I need!! I put most of my clothes on the floor bc I wanna reorganize some stuff but I'm too lazy to actually do it and tidy up lol. This is perfect motivation.
Yes ~ I use those laundry sheets also....fyi ~ you can tear those sheets in pieces and place them in the laundry soap dispenser part. It works great!!! 💜
Oooooh I’m saving this for my next day off, the body doubling is great motivation for finishing my Great Closet Cleanout!
plant lady here!! your ZZ plant thrives off of neglect! i water mine once a month(honestly every other month lbr) and she's just fine. they're good with low light, and low light means you need to water less frequently :>
it's true!! i gotta remind myself to leave her alone 😂🌿
this! a ZZ plant really likes to dry out, so I typically bottom water for about 10 minutes, once a week.
i would also just go ahead and pluck those yellow leaves; they could recover but you'll actually get more new growth if you just pluck them and let the plant focus on new leaves.
Needed both cozy vibes and work vibes for this slow Monday morning so this was the perfect video. I'm def a shove packer but using compression travel bags has been a total game changer for me lately!
We are being fed with this content. Thank you!
-do the skincare wipe, I really like burt's bees and I think they make my skin feel moisturized afterwards AND they take the makeup off so well
-bring a wet paper towel or something to wipe off the wipe residue while in bed
-have a moisturizer next to you
that's perfect imo and you can do the rest after the mornign shower
i liveee for these cozy/motivating vlogs♡
also as an avid sjm fan your points abt silver flames are so true--you can see the same patterns in her crescent city books too like the more mainstream she's gotten the more rushed her writing feels. thats why i just read throne of glass over and over lol
absolutely loving these long vlogs!! really nice to put on at work while i’m getting things done ! 🫶🏼
Whatever beauty PR you get and don't use or want, please donate to a woman's shelter. They really could use the products and it brightens their day. They also take partially used.
People this is not always the case they reject a lot of items finding local nonprofits might be a better fit.
@@Dontbesilenttdsp women’s shelter are majority local non-profit.
You look so much like Rochelle from The Craft and I love your vibe and aesthetic so much! 🤎You’re so pretty 😭🫶🏼
Hi Kennedy, You’re content and your spirit truly makes me happy❤🙏🏻.Brightens my day everyday.
Thank you!!🤎🫶🏽
Tip for getting rid of the PR you or your friends aren't going to use: donate items to a local woman's shelter. Many people have to leave situations abruptly without being able to take those things, and we all know how expensive skincare is to replace. Just an idea! ✨
These long form videos of yours are my fav
I love these! Thanks for motivating me to do my laundry and finally getting to vacuuming my room today! Phew! 😮💨
Thank you for this! I’m moving and this was so helpful to help me get some bins and boxes filled up.
Its so reassuring to see that other people accumulate the same junk that I do (especially the things in the utility closet and all the cords). It can honestly be so overwhelming
native Alabamian here - love that you pronounced Mobile correctly & that enjoyed your trip here 🥰🥰
Love Chila's "oh crap you got me" look in the hamper. Also i've read that dying leaves are ok! That means the plant is producing new one and those are just old. It's yellow, droopy leaves you need to worry about.
i've never seen a video of yours but you are a genius for creating something like this! It helped me stay motivated while i was cleaning out my closet and building furniture, so THANK YOU!
not an original idea but i’m so glad!! will def do more!!
Weird situation, started cleaning watching this and was putting some books away. Then the power in the house goes out. I go to investigate, I start wiping down the stove while out there because I notice it’s dirty, just as you mention getting distracted 😅 but as you said, it’s okay!! Then as I finish cleaning that, you mention Ali Haywood and Love Theoretically… THE BOOK I WAS LAST PUTTING AWAY!! 🙌🏾 I’ve been reminded of my initial task, so now I’m off to not let the power outage take away from my witching hour cleaning girly antics!! 😤
You have the prettiest hair I’ve ever seen ❤
Mobile is my hometown! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, it’s truly a beautiful historic city!
Honestly nothing could have gotten me out of bed except for you! And thanks for the real words at the end ❤️🙏
15:38 I’m a plant mama lol that is a beautiful rattle snake plant which is a prayer plants it’s leaves go up and down it’s how it got its name. The leaves follow the sun/light. It looks really good and healthy just keep doing what’s your doing it looks really happy.
For the pink plant. I water it once a week. I have two of them. When some leaves die, I get a bunch of new ones to replace them 🌸
One a week🫡 Will do!!
loved this video!! just FYI, if that compost bin is smelly, any fabrics in that closet with it will be smelly too - so you may want to move it away from those hand towels!!
♥️ My first time catching your channel. Chose it for MOTIVATION💪🏽 Because of the length and ideas for organizing. Time for more storage. In the meantime I am trying to figure out where to put things to have home.
This was so helpful in me getting my cleaning done today 🥹❤
