Apartment Essentials: Everything I Bought For My Brand New Apartment

January 24, 2021Lifestyle

OMG I MOVED!

If you guys have been following along on social media, you’d know that I recently just moved into my brand new apartment! After graduating from University and transitioning to social media full-time, I finally decided that it was time to move out of my house.

Now let me tell you… I never want to pack again in my LIFE. I truly hated every second of packing and it almost always gave me headaches but it’s DONE and I’m alive. Now for the fun part! I’ve been slowly unpacking and finding places for everything in my new home and if you’re curious to see what it looks like you can catch up on my empty apartment tour video here.

In today’s blog, I wanted to share with you guys apartment essentials I’ve been absolutely loving that make my house a home, are great hacks, and everything in between. Let’s get into it!

ready isn’t coming girl… and i think that deep ready isn’t coming girl… and i think that deep down you KNOW that 🫶🏽 send this to someone who needs to hear this today! 

i see people talk about wanting to start content creation or their own businesses or change careers ALL THE TIME but the number 1 thing i see alongside it is “i really want to do it but I’m not ready yet”

it’s so crazy to think about how different my life would have looked if i waited until i was ready too… i never would have started this page or done even HALF the things that i am so so proud of myself for! the “right” really never came, I just stopped waiting for it altogether y’know?

choosing to be brave and doing it scared will take you so much further than waiting to be ready, i promise 🤍

what’s something you did before you felt 100% ready but turned out to be the BEST decision? lmk in the comments!!

PS - send this to a friend who’s been “almost ready” for the past like 6 months lol they might need a lil kick in the butt

“you look like you’ve lost weight” is a back “you look like you’ve lost weight” is a back handed compliment period 😒

it’s crazy that society prioritizes shrinking as one of the greatest accomplishments above all else…

bc there’s SO many other things to be celebrated!

you got the job? got into school? got a raise? move out for the first time? literally anything else??

there is so so much more to celebrate than noticing if our bodies are or aren’t shrinking!!!!

what’s an accomplishment you’re proud of?? I wanna hype THAT up for you! 🩷✨

if we felt 100% fulfilled in our lives, would we e if we felt 100% fulfilled in our lives, would we even feel comparison?

social media has opened us up to so many things, good and bad.. but the thing I think that so many of us struggle with is comparison

we see the perfect routines, the brand trips, the high salary high power 9-5, the stay at home while someone pays all the bills life… and everything in between

and that triggers something in us! be that jealousy or envy or rage or inequity

and I feel like on one hand… we’re all human? that seems normal to me? sometimes seeing someone else get something you really wanted makes you feel jealous. that’s not really a BAD thing.. it’s just the truth, yknow?

but something I also can’t stop thinking about it… if i felt fulfilled by the things that i have would i even feel the need to compare? and also.. would i even feel jealous of that specific thing if I didn’t see it online? was it even something i wanted in the first place or did i see someone else do it/have it and now suddenly i want that too? 

i don’t know the answer 100% but I think that it’s worth exploring…

is there something you realized you only wanted because you saw someone else have it? would feeling like you already have everything you need make you compare less? i wanna know!!

life is a mf whirlwind I’ll tell ya that 🤪 o life is a mf whirlwind I’ll tell ya that 🤪

one thing I don’t think creators share about enough (especially in Canada where we have almost 0 consistent monetization programs) is the financial instability of it all

you get a deal, do the work, and then wait 30-90 days to get paid for it, the payment is late 99% of the time, it’s been 3+ months, you’ve made $0

and that type of financial instability has been kicking my ASS you guys.. Which is why getting a job was the right move for me!!!

I also talked to so many other creator friends who said that having a stable income allowed them to be more creative and have fun wit content again because the stakes weren’t as high and they were so so right!! I’ve haven’t felt more creative or driven in years!!

if you’ve made it this far into the caption… then surprise! I’ve been building @heykairis behind the scenes! a creator software that analyzes your niche landscape through social listening & other tools to tell you what your target audience ACTUALLY wants to see and gives you aligned content opportunities in your own voice, based on your own best content formats. Not to mention pre trending & rising audio tracking, visual format & hook tracking and analysis, and so much more!!

just like that I’m back to loving life again!!!!!! I love you guys! I’m so excited for our next journey!!! 🥹🫶🏼✨🪄

if strangers stopped focusing on our bodies & our if strangers stopped focusing on our bodies & our weight, and started focusing on the truly interesting things about us instead i’m convinced we’d all be happier! ✨

(but also read: if strangers stopped focusing on our bodies & our weight and instead decided to stfu that would be great too hehe)

BUT FR…

we live in a society that constantly reminds us that we don’t “fit in” in literally any way, shape, or form. our bodies are too big, too small, too curvy, not curvy enough, our hair isn’t the right texture, our teeth aren’t white enough, our skin isn’t glass 100% of the time….. etc etc etc

it’s exhausting! 🫩

when we stop focusing on the physical and start focusing on everything else instead, we start to break that toxic cycle that diet culture, body image standards, and everything in between keeps us trapped in 🤍

what’s something that’s more interesting about you than your body? I would LOVE to know!!!! lmk in a comment! save this & share it with a friend who might need to hear this today!

y’all know when the yellow trouser come out it s y’all know when the yellow trouser come out it starts getting SERIOUS 💛

i’m yearning for a spring closet swap out…. is it too early?! am i gonna regret it?

we DID wake up with more snow on the ground but tbh at this point i’m choosing not to acknowledge it’s there lol

save this for a lil pop of spring fit inspo for when the weather finally cooperates ☀️

we talk about strangers and trolls on the internet we talk about strangers and trolls on the internet but it cuts so much deeper casually said from someone you love.. ❤️‍🩹

you’re allowed to say it hurts even if they didn’t mean it and you don’t have to be okay with it just because you love them!

diet culture affects each and every one of us in every single body. the more we learn to push back on  it, the closer we are to knocking down the system that keeps us unhappy

when we learn to love ourselves in the bodies we have, everything gets better 🫶🏽 ✨

sooo… i got a job 🤍 y’all know 2024 marked sooo… i got a job 🤍

y’all know 2024 marked a major life change for me. so many endings left and right that i didn’t see coming. rebuilding from that place taught me so much… but unfortunately the scar really still remained

i had built this beautiful life that i loved, bought a house with the money i made from my dream career.. but when i started to have some of the slowest years in my career since 2020 i couldn’t help but feel like all the “influencers need to get real jobs” and “just wait until all influencers stop making” money discourse we see online 24/7 was right… and they were also talking EXACTLY about me…

the self doubt and insecurity about my future as a content creator continued to grow no matter how much i was trying to convince myself it wasn’t. i started to believe that needing a job was a failure, that it meant i touched my dreams and i couldn’t sustain it and that meant i could never have it again… i was wrong!!

i’ve been applying to jobs since February (the job market is actually HELL) and have gone through the submitted, ghosted, no interview, try it all again pipeline for weeks

but today i finally got that offer and the first thing i thought of was “i need to tell her”. Her being ME… from March 3rd, feeling at my absolute lowest

I’ve gotten past the feelings of failure and I’ve found feelings of relief and hope instead. I still get to live my life! i still get to live in my home! i still get to create content for the love of it all! i still get to be an influencer! but without the pressure of “where is my next paycheque coming from?”

I hope that if you needed a sign that things get better, this is it 🫶🏽

Thank you to ALL of you for being here, supporting me, and loving me through it all. This obvi isn’t goodbye lmfao, i know i’m being a little dramatic. But it’s never lost on me that I’ve been able to touch my dreams because of you all!

i love you SO much. forever. thank you for being here ❤️‍🩹
you KNOW me ✨ a few of my favourite things… I you KNOW me ✨

a few of my favourite things… INCLUDING YOU!! ❤️ 😍 🥰 😘  do we have any of the same things?!?!
