If it’s not too personal I’d love to hear about how to divide finances when living with your boyfriend!! I’m planning on moving in for the first time with my bf and I have no idea who buys what and I’d love to hear your thoughts 🥰
If it matters I am recently married and my husband and I split everything half and half, and whatever he wants to buy he’ll buy, and whatever I want to buy I buy... but mostly 50/50 We talked about it before living together and he wanted to pay more, but I rather be 50/50 ☺️
Bills 50/50 anything non bill related is up to us, if I want to buy decor for example, I have no problem buying it with my money or he has no problem splitting it 50/50
My boyfriend and I split rent 60/40 because he makes a little more and uses our second bedroom for video games lol. Bills we split 50/50. With groceries we kind of just take turns or if I buy stuff one week he gets the dinner tab when we go out ☺️
You might want to re-think the open bathroom trash cans. With a curious puppy, he might go digging through them and drag garbage around the house. 😬 speaking from experience. 😂🤷🏻♀️
We are insane for Goldens and have our third one, Molly. My experience is that they love tissues and cotton squares( also tampons-gross). What has worked for us is a small Simple Human “step can”. You step on a pedal to open the lid. Keeps naughty puppies out of the trash😊....enjoy every minute with your precious pup😍
Gretchen Geraghty I was thinking the same thing, but I think after that you should continue to wear them for dates or special occasions and whatnot :-)
I like that Max uses towels to clean spills, such an eco-conscious boy! I use kitchen towels to clean my hands and water spills and a sponge for other spills and things that need to be cleaned. I feel like your getting towels for each purpose is the best solution and saves so many paper towels!
Use the Billie razor!! So good, it’s a good price and it’s a subscription service so you don’t even have to think about it! Comes with shower holder that’s magnetic!!
Gretchen!! I watch your vlogs with my dog and every time she sees Brody in them she gets so excited and wants to play with him lol. Now, every time she hears your voice she cries because she remembers that you are person who has the dog she wants to be friends with. Just wanted to let you know that both me and my dog LOVE the Brody content hahaha
Haha so i work at Home Goods. If you don't want those pillows and don't have the receipt, you can still try to bring them back if they have the tags on them and they can potentially give you merchandise credit. Haha just thought that could help
I've been loving how frequent the vlogs are! I feel so included in your moving journey :) Congratulations and thanks for working so hard to put out videos!
I had the same flamingo razor and I did not like it at all! The billie razor is cheaper and cuter and has a really cool magnetic holder! Honestly the best razor i've ever tried!
hi gretchen i’m so in love with you youtube videos i hope you continue to make them this long ! i wish you the very best on your next chapter you’ve amazing!!!
@@akfletchh I wasn't being mean in any way! I know it's easy to think people are being mean/disrespectful online, but I just made a comment bc pops of color are great (which is my opinion) AND she also mentioned being stressed about the white 🤷
Hey! I Just wanted to say a good way to hide your lamp cord is to use an extension cord with a surge strip on it . Plug it in on your side then you can wire the other lamp behind the bed into the surge strip so the cord will be hidden ! That’s how I have mine done too!
I use paper towels for spills and cleaning dirty things. I only use towels to dry my hands and separate dish towels if I need to dry any dishes. I only use the dishwasher for washing all dishes though.
Gretchen, my tv mount nails into the walls instead of needing any screws! Found it on amazon and it can hold up a lot of weight. Definitely check out that option if you wanted to add a tv in the bedroom.
I so relate to the crate training!! I adopted a dog during covid and not having a job (yay graduating during a pandemic) and knew I would need her to be good with me going to work. So being home and having to crate her for a few hours a day, I totally get it!! In the beginning it would break my heart. But now she loves it and Im so glad I did it! Especially because that was the big difference in my potty training her
Gretchen use reusable bags at target & everywhere!!! Our Earth is BURNING & oceans are dying 😭 love you girl - you can influence so many people to help save our planet before it’s too late
There are these hooks for apartments for curtains! You take the panels off and put the hooks in the hole and then hook it to your curtain. Then it can still slide open and closed too!
I hated the Flamingo razors. I took it back to Target. Doesn’t do much. Always had stumble, didn’t get close enough shave. Congratulations on your new place. Cannot wait to see how you decorate it, 😀 .
I love how your space is coming out! Time to find cute frames with some color in them for photos of friends, family, and max! I think it’ll make it more homey:)
I’m loving this daily upload!! When you were leaving Pottery Barn I noticed the shopping center looks like the one that Nikki and Gabby always do the challenges at 😍 some of my favorite youtubers living so close!!
Hi G! With Brody being alone I totally get that. My boyfriend and I got a puppy about a year ago now. We have the Wyze camera for him to see what he’s up to while we are gone! It’s so helpful!!
Use clear shelf dividers from the container store to organize your jeans on that shelf instead of the pins. You can look it up on Pinterest for the visual. That way you can clear up a drawer for those items.
& idk if you ever used them with teddy but we use dog paw cleaning wipes for whenever our doggies come inside, you can find packs of them at home goods/tjmaxx! Super helpful with messy pups and new/white furniture 😊 I’m so happy for you and max 🤍
It's sooo weird to see you at places I always shop at/go to hahaha!! Kitchen towels are 1000% only for drying your hands/dishes lol! I love how the apartment is coming together so sooo much everything looks amazing!!! in love with the dining table and chairs!
So i lost my mom when i was 9 and now im about to be 20. Im moving to a city 3 hours from my dad and thats not SUPER far but i feel horrible ab leaving him alone while i move w my bf.. how do u feel better ab that? or what makes u feel better😭? I just feel bad hes alone now...
LOL I feel the same about kitchen towels! I ended up buying two different types, one kind for clean hands and dishes, and another pack of lower quality rags for wiping off the counters / cleaning
I'm sure the Parachute ones are amazing but I will also say I love my Brookelinnen sheets. if you end up wanting more sheet sets and they are in stock I recommend.
oh also when you move again, taking the drawers out of the dresser will make it a million times lighter. i had to do that last time I moved. we took them out, covered it with one of those moving quilt things to protect it, got it in the truck and then put them back in and gave it a quick wrap and covered it back with the quilt!
lol pt. 3 I also have my dresses and extra stuff in my guest closet lol sometimes you just have to!! also, HomeGoods can probably look up your purchase with the card you used if you can't find the receipt! The apartment looks awesome! so fun watching it all come together
I have been using the Venus razors for like 10 years and I absolutely love them. I tried the flamingo ones just to see and I really didn’t like them just because they rusted quickly and they gave me razor burn very easily. You might love them! I just didn’t like them more than the Venus ones
We have 2 big boi doggos and white sheets and we always wash them with the Oxiclean White Revive detergent and its seriously been a life saver. Sometimes no matter how well you think you've cleaned their paws there's still some dirt, mud, or grass remnants and I don't know why but "dog dirt" sticks so much more to materials than normal dirt hahaha that detergent always gets every thing out and makes them look brand new!
My boyfriend and I just moved into our first apartment together too and tell me why we had that exact same conversation about the kitchen towels ahahah, I did the same thing and bought light and dark ones too!!
Hello, First time watching. Love your new place and decor. If you want to add color it is best done with accessories, throw pillow, blankets or curtains. Carry the color or same shape/shapes throughout the space, you want your eyes to transition around the room. Investing in neutral pieces like you did that's where it ultimately makes best use of funds and to spend more. Accessories are easier switched out for seasons or when making over the space allowing it to be most cost effective. Also, idea for boot storage, add a pool noodle, cut to size to fit your boots and it will help them hold their shape and stand up. Hope that helps. I think if you wanted to switch closets with the bf it would allow all your things to be in one place maybe, hard to know via actual space size on vlog (just an idea, you know what works for you). I will be sure to follow and best of luck on the new space and that cute fluffy Doggie.
So does max wipe kitchen spills on the towel and then also wipe his hands on the same towel? I've never heard of that! I feel like my hands wouldn't be clean then haha
Yep, every single piece. It’s quite odd. I love Gretchen, but I really thought she’s have her own style. Unless everyone loves the same Pinterest inspo.
There is a white shower curtain from pottery barn that’s rlly nice, I have one and it’s just perfect for the space. It’s the clipped jacquard cotton shower curtain. Btw I love ur videos so so so much, you are such a sweet person!💕💕
i work at tj maxx which is a sister store of home goods and u can try to return the pillows without a receipt! u would get store credit for them but it’s better than nothing and u can use that tj maxx, marshall’s, home sense, and sierra trading post!
I would highly suggest a Billie razor over the Flamingo one! Super cute and refills come in the mail - seriously work so well (much better than Flamingo) and they’re wicked cheap!
I use flamingo!! Idk why but I love it, I think it’s the best razor I’ve ever used. Super clean, close shave! The one bad thing is the heads get dull kinda fast but the replacements aren’t too expensive so that’s good.
Vicariously living through your move in vlogs until I can move in with my boyfriend, which will hopefully be in December when we finally graduate college! Love your vlogs Gretchen!! 💛
I have that exact Flamingo razor and I love it! It's made by the same company that makes the men's Harry's razors. The Flamingo shave gel and body lotion are great too :)
If you want a really good razor use the JOY razors! I used to use men’s and then I found these ones and there just amazing !! They have a pick between pink, turquoise and yellow there isn’t a difference between them besides the color and it’s just amazing !!! You can get them at Walmart !
You have so many things you’ve mentioned you never used or wear! Think of all that you could donate or sell! Love your videos and so happy for you and your new place!
I'm curious, how did you like the Flamingo razor? I just got the same one and it gives me horrible razor burn/doesn't really get to the root of the hair. I think I'll be going back to good ol' Venus!
You should wear the shoes your dad gave you on your wedding!! He will be walking you down the aisle 💓💓
Your eyebrows and lashes look SO GOOD
If it’s not too personal I’d love to hear about how to divide finances when living with your boyfriend!! I’m planning on moving in for the first time with my bf and I have no idea who buys what and I’d love to hear your thoughts 🥰
If it matters I am recently married and my husband and I split everything half and half, and whatever he wants to buy he’ll buy, and whatever I want to buy I buy... but mostly 50/50
We talked about it before living together and he wanted to pay more, but I rather be 50/50 ☺️
Me too!!!! would love to hear ab this
50/50 or pay together ?
Bills 50/50 anything non bill related is up to us, if I want to buy decor for example, I have no problem buying it with my money or he has no problem splitting it 50/50

That’s what mine does lol
same...
I've read that using a diaper genie for a bathroom trash can with a puppy is awesome because they can't get into it!
especially in the bathroom! My aunt is a vet and she had to do surgery for a puppy who ate tons of tampons.... so ya
We are insane for Goldens and have our third one, Molly. My experience is that they love tissues and cotton squares( also tampons-gross). What has worked for us is a small Simple Human “step can”. You step on a pedal to open the lid. Keeps naughty puppies out of the trash😊....enjoy every minute with your precious pup😍
You should save the shoes from your dad for when you get married. That would be so special and perfect if they are fancy and white.
omg this is the sweetest comment😭❤️
I was just going to say that! I think that would be so special and sweet 🥺
Gretchen Geraghty I was thinking the same thing, but I think after that you should continue to wear them for dates or special occasions and whatnot :-)
If you want to of course!
Your dad will get to walk you down the aisle
I like that Max uses towels to clean spills, such an eco-conscious boy! I use kitchen towels to clean my hands and water spills and a sponge for other spills and things that need to be cleaned. I feel like your getting towels for each purpose is the best solution and saves so many paper towels!
here’s to hoping these apartment vids never end

Gretchen!! I watch your vlogs with my dog and every time she sees Brody in them she gets so excited and wants to play with him lol. Now, every time she hears your voice she cries because she remembers that you are person who has the dog she wants to be friends with. Just wanted to let you know that both me and my dog LOVE the Brody content hahaha
Haha so i work at Home Goods. If you don't want those pillows and don't have the receipt, you can still try to bring them back if they have the tags on them and they can potentially give you merchandise credit. Haha just thought that could help
I really feel the need to tell you that I love you so so so so much and I don’t know where I would be without you. Keeping slaying girl ❤️
I've been loving how frequent the vlogs are! I feel so included in your moving journey :) Congratulations and thanks for working so hard to put out videos!
lancaster pa!! worth the hour drive!! fresh veggies & fruits stands & stores, outlets, amazing quality furniture from the amish!
you should get a Furbo! you'll be able to check on Brody and that might help with leaving him alone!
your space is coming together sooo well! it looks so calming
use the dark towel for hands and the light towel for drying dishes!!
Wow I love your place!! And love love love the table and chairs with it!!
you can return stuff to home goods without the receipt for store credit!
I had the same flamingo razor and I did not like it at all! The billie razor is cheaper and cuter and has a really cool magnetic holder! Honestly the best razor i've ever tried!
You’re doing so good Gretchen!!!! You’re so incredibly organized like whattt researching towels me and my adhd brain could never ❤️
hi gretchen i’m so in love with you youtube videos i hope you continue to make them this long ! i wish you the very best on your next chapter you’ve amazing!!!

Your apartment is stunning!! So fun seeing it all come along so nicely!! Love you sm, you inspire me everyday & w/ my channel💛💛
i just came back home from a long day of just being out and about and THERES NOTHING BETTER THAN BEING IN BED AND WATCHING TH-cam
Ashrieya Choudhary honestly I’m still in bed
Yes
@@alexandermauritius3072 it's now 9 am where i am
Girl, all of that white in the apartment is so stressful to me! Do you plan on incorporating more color?
what if its comforting/works well for her? everybody has their opinions, if you'd don't like her style simply don't watch! :)
@@akfletchh I wasn't being mean in any way! I know it's easy to think people are being mean/disrespectful online, but I just made a comment bc pops of color are great (which is my opinion) AND she also mentioned being stressed about the white 🤷
Main character syndrome 😄
I would save the shoes for your wedding for sure!

i was thinking of this exact thing!
Gretchen seems like the friend I’ve always wanted and needed but never had🥺
Love all these apartment vids 😍 making me want to move again even though I just got into a new apartment lmao
Welcome to PA, where we all say PA instead of Pennsylvania. Lol
lol this is so true, why are we like this
this!!!! hahahah! so true

Gretchen use reusable bags at target & everywhere!!! Our Earth is BURNING & oceans are dying 😭 love you girl - you can influence so many people to help save our planet before it’s too late
You cant use them right now because of the pandemic. It’s unsanitary.
A lot of places aren’t accepting reusable bags right now because of covid :(
There are these hooks for apartments for curtains! You take the panels off and put the hooks in the hole and then hook it to your curtain. Then it can still slide open and closed too!
Omg I’m OBSESSED with flamingo razors!!! Good choice
I hated the Flamingo razors. I took it back to Target. Doesn’t do much. Always had stumble, didn’t get close enough shave. Congratulations on your new place. Cannot wait to see how you decorate it, 😀

Mixing Woolite and Shout is an amazing stain eraser!!
I love how your space is coming out! Time to find cute frames with some color in them for photos of friends, family, and max! I think it’ll make it more homey:)
Awww Gretchen you guys are doing so well!!! I’m like .. proud of you guys 💓
“Yeah and now max wants a Tahoe.” If that’s not a mood
best way to start the day - watching your videos:)

Always watched and enjoyed your content, and even just started up my own after watching you and your Boston friends have so much fun doing it
You just made my day with this 40 minute video, thank you GG hope you're doing well
Can you make a move in checklist & tips and tricks for furnishing a whole home?
So i lost my mom when i was 9 and now im about to be 20. Im moving to a city 3 hours from my dad and thats not SUPER far but i feel horrible ab leaving him alone while i move w my bf.. how do u feel better ab that? or what makes u feel better😭? I just feel bad hes alone now...

They have fabric protector spray you can buy and spray your chairs! It will keep dirt and liquid from setting into the fabric
Great new video update and Happy Saturday, Gretchen!❤️
i love you gretchen!!!!
So does max wipe kitchen spills on the towel and then also wipe his hands on the same towel? I've never heard of that! I feel like my hands wouldn't be clean then haha
My bf does that all the time and I’m like you, I think it means the towel is dirty so your hands are dirty lol
You got the same furniture as Maggie? .....😳
Sundrina 23 and
Emma Boyd wondering if there was a sale, would love to get the same
Yep, every single piece. It’s quite odd. I love Gretchen, but I really thought she’s have her own style. Unless everyone loves the same
Pinterest inspo.
She has different decorations than Maggie
@@candiceevawilliams6 its JUST furniture 😂😂😂😂!! Lmfao. For people to even notice that it hilarious 😄! Omg lol.

I have those tongs! Only use for salad or pasta! They melt on hot stuff!

I love my flamingo razor!! Ive had it over a month and the first razor blade head is still on it in perfect condition. It’s lasted so long!!
hey girl make sure you get a liner for that Curtin too. you need that for the shower
Yay!! Love these apartment videos GG!!
TH-camrs are so original with their furniture choices😅 but it’s nice!
I’m moving next Friday so I’ve been loving these vlogs!
If you want a really good razor use the JOY razors! I used to use men’s and then I found these ones and there just amazing !! They have a pick between pink, turquoise and yellow there isn’t a difference between them besides the color and it’s just amazing !!! You can get them at Walmart !
so happy for your new adventure 🤩

You can still return homegood pillows with tags only still on w/out receipt. You’ll just receive in store credit:
I could not deal with having all that white with a dog!! However, it does look so nice and clean
i just switched to that brand of razors and i really like it!
Did you get rid of all your old furniture?
Sold or gave it to friends I think
Her & Taylor actually rented all their furniture from the old apartment so they had to return it once they moved out
I'm curious, how did you like the Flamingo razor? I just got the same one and it gives me horrible razor burn/doesn't really get to the root of the hair. I think I'll be going back to good ol' Venus!
the flamingo razor sucks!! you need to get the billie razor. its $9 and amazing.
You should put insoles in your YSL sneakers! I had the same problem with the same shoes and it really helped!
I live in Allentown too!!! Glad to have you here ❤️
43 minutes of gretchen life. Ok!
