- I am here in my childhood home
in the hallway that leads up to my childhood bedroom.
I am here because Devin revealed what was in her bag.
Kristin revealed what was in her desk.
Jen revealed what was in her trunk.
And Fred revealed what was in her trunk of shoes.
So now I am going to show you all
what is in my childhood bedroom.
I haven't really gone through my room in a long time.
I'm not exactly sure what we're gonna find.
Are you ready?
(light jazz music)
'Cause I'm a little ready.
I wish I was more ready.
But let's do it.
Okay, this is my bedroom door.
This actually has remained the same
since I was in high school.
I am obsessed with Peanut M&Ms.
To this day they're still my favorite candy
and I was like, "These make excellent decorations."
At one point, I cam home from college and my mom was like,
"I found your old leprechaun craft.
"It's on your door now."
And there it stayed.
This is my graduation announcement from college
and I just designed this all myself.
This is my cribs moment.
(magical music)
Is this my bucket list?
Here we are.
Welcome.
This is where the magic happens,
AKA zero magic because I was a Christian virgin.
Welcome.
This was my room probably from age, like, 12 until
Now I guess.
It still kind of feels like my room but it also doesn't.
My parents just, like, moved different boxes in here.
When I was like 13, I got struck by the vision
to do bright colors in my room.
With the help of my mom being gracious enough
to do it with me, it came to this.
After deciding my color palate, I remember finding
this trash can and I was just like, "This... it's perfect"
There's a little piece of gum
that's still stuck inside of it.
Don't now how long that's been there, just gonna ignore it.
This is a little jewelry thing that spins.
Baby me!
15th Birthday.
I don't know why I chose this picture
because my eyes are not open.
I was like, "It's candid, it's good."
This is my grandma and that was my Kiki.
She was my childhood pup.
So this is them sitting together.
Don't know where the glass for that is
so I just keep pushing it up and it falls back down.
So here's my first driver's license.
Nice and saturated and shiny.
Before Chantel knew what translucent powder was.
So she was just always shiny.
Okay, this has staples 'cuz why wouldn't you want
1000 staples in the jewelry drawer.
Treasures!
More baby Chantel.
It's probably the gayest baby photo I have.
I look at this and I'm like, "Mhm, the signs were there."
I don't know where most of these came from.
That's a lie.
I actually know exactly where they came from.
I'm just embarrassed because I used to love them
and now they're trash.
Welcome to Chantel's reading nook.
Trademark.
I was a big music person.
Played piano for nine years.
I also taught myself to DJ after college.
Never happened, but I know how to do it now
so that's a fun fact.
Let's see what sort of CDs I have.
We have a classic, nice and dusty,
Britney Spears "Baby One More Time."
So my favorite on this was Soda Pop.
We got Destiny's Child The Writing's on the Wall,
which has no Michelle Williams in it.
That's how old this album is.
I see many NSYNC albums.
Lots of Christian Rock in here also
because I was a youth group girl.
Times change, you know.
I remember getting this TV in here.
Chantel was a very cool high school student
and would come home, sit here,
dip some Oreos in some milk, and watch Oprah.
I probably own like 5 DVDs.
One of them is Napoleon Dynamite.
I thought it was one of the funniest films
I had ever seen in my entire life and I stand by that.
Fight me.
But don't at me.
Also youth group girl, my new adventure bible.
So like everyone in school, it's like
this was like the cool bible to have.
This is a hat I wore to a Michael Jackson themed club night.
Aw, Linkin Park, Chester.
You can also see this amp because
I also started playing guitar at one point.
Oh my God.
We're fine, ow.
This was it.
This was it, this was my little guitar.
I remember my guitar teacher being like,
"I think you could be the next Avril Lavigne."
And I was like, "I don't sing."
Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends,
just makes my heart flutter.
So I found that my favorite genre is just
stuff that makes you feel charmed.
Oh, you can see how, like, beaten up this book is.
I loved it so much.
Dr. Seuss, of course!
Hop on Pop.
I don't know when the "d" became red crayon.
I'm sure that was me at some point.
Let's have a seat real quick.
So in third grade, I loved sharks so much
that I had a shark themed birthday party.
My mom made shark themed goody bags.
We had a cake that was in the shape of a shark.
Sharks are huge huge part of my life.
All the cool kids have shark birthday parties, right?
I want to find my pivotal shark book
that taught me everything that I know.
I'm not seeing it which is incredibly disappointing.
(sighs) This is exhausting.
This is a pillow that I made with my friend one time.
That was how me and my friends had fun.
Could you not tell?
The expert stitching.
Let's just do an orange pillow and write on it "orange".
'Cause I was also obsessed with Mean Girls.
"She asked me how to spell orange."
Do I have the Mean Girls DVD?
No.
Do I have the soundtrack?
Of course I do.
There's also Will Smith Willennium.
This had the hit Will 2k.
I would take out all the, like, the whole lyric book
and then I would just sit and listen to the album
and just read all of the lyrics.
This is my senior year book.
I was the Co-editor in chief for it,
and oh, since we were on the yearbook committee
we had access to like special things
so we had our names engraved.
That was us being naughty!
I was voted best film-maker.
So it was me and my friend Madeline.
I will have you know
what photograph of Instagram does this resemble?
None other than Kendall Jenner's hair photo.
She's sitting on the ground,
and her hair is out in all those hearts.
Where do you think she got that idea from, boys and girls?
You heard it here first, but you saw it Kendall's first.
Is my hair in hearts?
No, but it could've been.
You remember the era of just having these around?
Not that it's an "el" not at "al".
So when you send me emails, spell it right.
We've now flipped around and are at my closet.
This is something that it really hasn't been cleaned out
since I was in high school.
Okay.
So I rode crew for a semester in college.
Uh, this was my jacket.
Everyone's like, "You rode crew?
" Were you the coxswain?"
AKA the person that doesn't row
and just sits and tells people what to do.
And I'm like, "No, I rowed"
All five foot and three inches of me was there rowing.
I needed a tall person to help grab
what was my favorite toy for a long time.
Yay, thank you Mike.
Okay, this is gonna help provide a little more insight
into who I am as a person.
My favorite toy
was a Super Sealer Laminator.
I just liked laminating things.
So I also used to do kickboxing at the gym in high school.
My little knuckles were always kind of bruised and bloody.
It's attractive.
This purse was my staple purse.
Looked like a hot dog and my friends
called it the hot dog purse.
And actually I was like,
"That means I should just use it all the time."
What do we have in here?
Got two highlighters.
My college graduation robe.
It is fun to waft around in.
This was my grad cap!
And I just took out photos of the people that
meant a lot to me, including my boyfriend at the time.
Still a lovely person, I just don't feel like contacting him
to get a photo release.
It fits so well with a ponytail.
This is one of my Halloween costumes.
Was I a Jazmin?
No.
Was I a Genie?
Yes.
Also I was probably inspired by A Genie Bottle,
which was not kid friendly
but I listened to it countless time as a kid.
Baby's first robe!
Little Christmas Robe.
I'm not mad at it.
The treasure has been uncovered.
In middle school, I was
A cheerleader.
I remember even at the time
my boobs didn't really fit in this
and I'd be squishin' 'em down.
This concludes my childhood bedroom tour.
Thank you for being on this journey with me.
Now my wish for you all is to go and surround yourself
in fuzzy neon pillows.
Because I will say, it does feel great.
Let me know in the comments what surprised you the most.
What do you relate on on a nerdy emotional level?
What should we unpack next, my friends?
You tell me.
