Before we jump into the apartment tour,
I wanted to talk a little bit about my own financial journey
and how financial literacy has helped me
through big life stage changes from graduating from college
to moving into my own place in LA.
I’ve been financially independent for the past few years now
thanks to you guys and your support for my social media platforms <3
and with financial independence comes the freedom
to use my money however I want to,
but there’s also a greater sense of responsibility
to make sure that I use my money wisely
and that I’m budgeting my expenses accordingly.
is still a relatively new concept,
it’s especially important for me to be aware of exactly
where and how I’m choosing to spend my money.
With that being said, I want to introduce Chime,

Now, let’s move on to the apartment tour.
[The kitchen]
Okay, so this is my front door.
I keep all of my shoes in my bathroom, which I'll show you in a bit,
but these are my commonly worn shoes.
And then, there's an outlet that I didn't know I had.
Good to know.
Here, I have this light switch by the door
that turns that light on.
This is my fridge.
Is it clean enough (to show you)?
Okay, it's not that bad.
This is what my fridge currently looks like.
It's so empty on the bottom.
This is a huge jar of cream cheese.
And then, in the freezer, I have bagels,
some garlic toast, ice cream, etc.
Here's a water filter/ice dispenser built into the fridge.
I don't really use this because I think the filter inside is dirty.
There's like weird debris floating around in the water.
I have a filter over there that I use to filter my water.
Right next to the fridge, I have this toaster.
I always toast my bagels on level 6 (no one asked).
Here, I keep extra bags for whenever I go grocery shopping.
And I also keep my masks [here].
And then, here is where I keep my pots and pans.
Here's my stove.
I only really use this stove.
But I have 4 just in case.
And then, there's an oven that i have yet to use.
So here, I keep some oils, salt and pepper.
On the top, I have some electrolyte drink mix,
I have soy milk here.
I have some pain killers.
Moving on, here I have my dishwasher.
And then, on top of this countertop I have this indoors lettuce garden.
All of these are different types of lettuce
and I've been using this to eat salads.
This is like my main source of veggies in my diet.
Above the garden, I have this cabinet.
This is where I keep all of my snacks and yummy stuff.
So, I have instant noodles. I have cereal.
Some korean snacks, probiotic gummies...
Here is my sink.
Underneath my sink, I have more soy milk.
I have some wipes and more instant noodles.
I have an espresso machine.
I have some extra masks laying around.
I have my keys here, my wallet,
my morning matcha, some peanuts.
This is where I keep all of my plates and cups.
I'm very much a minimalist when it comes to the number of plates I have.
Each one of these has its own purpose,
and I only have one of each.
I have a cocktail mixer in the back that I have never properly used before.
I have this cute bear cup.
I like to use this for my coffee cuz it fits perfectly like that.
Isn't that cute?
Up there, I keep my coffee. This is vanilla syrup.
I have more mugs, cups, water bottles.
That top shelf is pointless because I can't reach it.
Literally in all of these cabinets the top shelf is empty.
This is where I keep my utensils.
They're not really organized in any way. It's just where they fit.
And then, napkins, wipes, sauce for my McNuggets lol
This is where I keep my trash bags, saran wrap,
coffee, ziploc bags...
And then here, more trash bags, manuals for the furniture
Well, that's pretty much my kitchen area.
[The living room/Bedroom]
Right over here, I have the tiniest trash can.
It's literally the size of my hand.
This trash can fills up so quickly,
but I also don't want to have a bigger trash can,
so I just kinda live with this at the moment.
This is my sofa.
It fits 3 people.
I can sleep on it.
It's not the most comfortable thing to sleep on,
but I can make it happen.
In front of the sofa, I have this rug.
I am in love with this. It just ties everything together.
It's so soft. I can touch it all day long.
I have this iridescent acrylic table.
Over here, I have a fake plant. I love it.
It's super cute.
And I have this lamp that I sometimes turn on.
I can just step on this and it turns on.
How does that look?
And then here, I hung up some tote bags.
This is window #1.
I always have the blinds up because I like to look out the windows.
One of these strings broke. This is not working,
so I can't actually do anything with these blinds.
Also, by default, I like to have the windows open, but
during the nighttime it gets pretty cold, so I'm going to close them.
Right next to this window, I hung up my two YouTube plaques.
This is my silver 100k button. This is my gold 1M plaque.
I don't know which one, but one of them is crooked.
I think it's the silver button.
Uhh
It's fine though, right?
It's fine, yeah.
This is my desk.
I don't know what to do with this whole cord situation.
There are so many cables.
I don't know how to organize this,
so I don't.
I like how this desk is two-tiered
so that I can keep my laptop on this top tier
and have it eye level, and then I have my keyboard and mousepad here.
Over here, I have a full-length mirror.
This is my favorite photo spot.
Whenever my friends visit, we like taking a mirror selfie here.
Right next to the mirror, I have another fake plant.
I need to rearrange the leaves
cuz it's kinda looking wonky right now.
And then, here's my bed. It's a twin-sized bed.
This is the perfect size for my studio
given I don't have that much space, but
but we shall see.
And then, I have this soft rug in front of my bed.
The rug kinda matches my pillows, and I think that's cute.
I didn't actually notice that until now.
Right next to my bed, I have this closet.
At first, I was worried that this closet wasn't going to be big enough
to fit all of my clothes in.
There's actually a lot more storage space than I thought there would be.
This is not really organized in any way.
I guess I would say I have outerwear over here.
Puffer jackets, coats.
Here I keep my pajamas.
Here I keep my workout clothes.
Pants, underwear, and then I just hung up all of my tops.
It's not really organized.
I do need to go through all of my clothes and organize this again
because I don't know where anything is.
I also keep my yoga mat and some other random stuff.
[The bathroom]
This bathroom is the main reason why I chose to move into this place.
It's literally half the size of my apartment.
Someone can sleep here.
Two people can sleep here.
I have this mirror that has built-in lights, which I love.
I'm absolutely obsessed with the good lighting in this bathroom.
I have yet to figure out a good way to organize
all of my makeup and skincare products.
I just literally throw everything in there once I'm done with my makeup.
And this lower cabinet is where I keep my shoes.
This is where I keep all of my laundry detergent and cleaning supplies.
I have some water filters over there as well.
And then, below my sink, there's more storage space.
Here, I keep paper towels, toilet paper, some dusters, pads.
And then, in these little drawers, I have some q-tips,
my retainer, a little headband, hair roller.
This is where I keep my hair brush and curling irons.
Contacts
And my hair dryer
Over here, next to the toilet, I have a scale.
I don't really use it, but it's there just in case I want to.
And then, on top of the toilet, I have my Alexa echo dot.
I like to listen to music through this while I'm taking a shower,
which is why I keep it in the bathroom.
I also think it's good for when you have guests over because
you don't want to hear the sound of them peeing,
so you just play music through this, and it'll drown out any unnecessary sounds.
These are scented gel beads.
Another small trash can over there.
That trash can is smaller than my other one.
We only have tiny trash cans in this household.
This towel is dirty. Please do not look at this.
This is my shower booth.
So, this is not built in.
I actually had to buy these separately so that i could hang up all of my stuff.
But basically, I have my shampoo, conditioner up on top with some cleansing oil.
Body scrub, some more conditioner
And I keep some bar soap over there.
In my bathroom, right next to the shower booth,
there's a washer and dryer.
This is revolutionary because back in college,
I had to go to a separate laundry room and do my laundry,
which would have been fine if my apartment was close to the laundry room,
but I literally had to walk with my load of laundry
in the snow for 5 minutes to reach my laundry room,
so it was definitely not the most convenient.
So this is very much helpful that I have this.
That completes my apartment tour. I hope you guys enjoyed.
Thank you guys so much for watching, and I'll see you in my next video. Bye!
