HI FAM! I missed y'all after our hefty 12 days of vlogmas 💘How was your holiday? Excited to catch up in this video. I have another vlog I filmed this week too that will go live sometime this weekend... not sure if it will be saturday or sunday. More catch ups and goal setting + exciting nyc events 👀to come!! Much love xx
Always great to come home to someone who loves and misses you. Every time I go away that’s all I can think of is my kitty…hate leaving her…but you need your time too. Love your vlogs💞
(Idk if your washer is a dual washer/dryer), but do NOT dry it. Air dry it and see where the stains at. If it’s still slightly there keep using the concoction above ^^
My magic trick for any grease stain is dawn dish soap!! Rub a bunch of it into the stain and let it sit for a while then wash it. Works most of the time for me 😁
Yea..dawn works very well, but if it does not come out after a cpl if washes I’ve found using “LA’s totally Awesome” liquid cleaner works great too. You can buy it at the dollar and a quarter store..lol. I spray some of that on the greasy part of the garment with some dawn dish soap, let it soak for a day or two then wash..sometimes it may take two washes to come out. I have been able to salvage a lot of clothes using this method!
Hi Chelsea, I'm a clothing reseller and have to take out grease stains. Use Dawn dish soap. Put it on the stains rub it in and let it sit for at least 1/2 hour, then wash as usual.
I just lost my 96 year old grandmother on January 6th. She was the best grandmother anyone could ask for. I saw her a couple of weeks ago and went I left, she cried and said "what if I never get to see you again?" I hugged her and said "Grandmama, you know where to meet me". I have been writing letters to my grandmother since I was in college and have many that I intentionally left unopened when I realized that I wouldn't always have her. I miss her so much. And I am 48 so it is a huge loss to me bc she lived with us when I was growing up. I am unfortunately at the age where I have realized that my parents and others are not going to be around forever. It's a hard age for that reason. I am sorry for the loss of your father.
I am glad I am not the only one that touches the outside of the plane before getting on. haha I also need to follow the advice on the back of your hoodie. I completed a Sunrise to Sunset walk in October and have wanted to do a RUclips video on it, but have been holding back. I am getting somewhat comfortable vlogging my daily walks on IG. It just feels bigger on here.
Yay! You’re back! I use blue dawn dish soap on grease stains. Cover the spot with the soap and let it sit for an hour or so before washing it as usual. Good luck!
I came here to say that too! Hot water and dawn scrub then more dawn as a pretreat. Good luck, I recently ruined my favourite black skirt with bleach, there’s no coming back from that 😢
Hey Chelsea, I was watching your NYC marathon video before writing my Harvard B school essays- I had no motivation to do it, and honestly thought it wouldn't be worth it. But persevered after seeing you run the whole 42 k. Come decemeber 13th - I got in. Now I think of your vlogs as my lucky charm 😭 💀
Chelsea, I’m moving to New York in 3 weeks! I’m so nervous! Your videos have motivated me as I’ve been saving money. I’ve also watched all of your “moving to nyc” videos! I hope you make one for 2025 (if you want) even though I will have moved already. Ahh can’t wait to be “neighbors” (along with 10M other people 😂)
Super late to the party as I'm just catching up with your videos Chelsea, but this just gave me some much needed positive (like in a real, authentic way) vibes after struggling with january blues ❤ I just really love your content, thank you so much for always showing all parts of life ❤
🍲 ~ Funny, I, too - just picked up some new pots & pans - some are stainless steel + the little pan is aluminum; an upgrade from the Teflon coated ones. However, the replacement (old ones) were all in great condition - so I put them outside my apartment - in an open wine box & by the next morning they were taken by someone who needed them ... 😉
Happy new year! I saw Alexis’s vlog where she checked on the cats and commented that it was so sweet of her to do that - I love both of your content 😊 I’m really excited about 2025, in April last year I left a job I loved to go for a more senior position. I thought it was all going well, only ever had positive feedback but after 5 months, I went into my normal Monday meeting with my manager and she told me I was being let go. Totally blindsided and humiliated I left that day. Weeks of job searching, worried I would not be able to pay my mortgage, my mental health took a kicking but I finally started a new job in November. It’s going so well and I am really happy there. More money and the senior position I wanted, I get on so well with all my colleagues I actually enjoy going to work and look forward to Monday’s! I’ve never started a new year in this frame of mind, feeling positive! Sorry for the long post, but I haven’t actually said this to anyone and it feels great to get it out! Lots of love to you and the cats and wish you an amazing 2025 - I will stay tuned! 😊❤
Obsessed with the books in your moms kitchen cabinets hahah and your mom and grandma are such cutiesss ❤ also love that little “YAH” at the very end 😂 its giving basketball head kid if you know that vibe reference hahah
To get grease out: Mix equal parts baking soda and Dawn dish soap. Spread all over the grease stain. Let it sit overnight, then wash. It works great for me, but that's a pretty big grease stain. Hopefully it works! Glad you were able to spend time with your family!
I don't call them New Year resolutions but rather kick starts. This way there is no feeling of failure. I simply kick start myself into eating better for maybe a couple of weeks after that I can either choose to continue or not or off and on. Same with exercise and so on.
9:00 for ANY oil/grease stains use baby powder, heavy coated and let it soak up for like a few hours Then remove the powder and put it in washer 🙂 Unfortunately I dont have any advice for washing it beforehand 😅 I've been there and destroyed my fave pants 😢
I am a PRO at grease stains because I have EVOO salad dressing on literally everything I own 😜 Dawn dish soap! Put a dot on. Rub it in with your finger. Wait 10-15 mins. Rinse it out with water. Wash like normal. It’s also crucial not to dry your clothes until you know the stain is officially out. So just hang dry until then. ❤
Dawn and making soda. Make a paste. Rub it in with your fingers. Let it sit for a day. Wash as usual. 1 tsp of BSoda. 5-6 drops of dawn. Just enough to make a paste. I hope this helps
Chelsea. For the grease stain in your skirt. Take cheap shampoo without a conditioner and put on grease stain. Let it sit for at least 24 hours then wash. If still there keep repeating the process and it should come out. Works even if it has gone through the dryer Good luck
Awe your grandma 🥺 I just lost my grandma in early 2025 and when you said visiting your dad I cried... I really enjoy your vlogs as a fellow single cat woman living alone in a city. You're inspiring me to get back into volunteering and possibly exercising as well, two healthy things I'd like to reactivate in the new year. Looking forward to seeing more this year 😊
Iron the skirt with grease proof paper between the iron and the fabric. Will take a few goes. Prob need to soak in a degrease powder agent after and wash through.
My new year's resolution is to comment on your videos because now I know you read them, even though you get so many! ❤ About the 10 minute couch that always turns into more: I like to get ready completely for the next activity, or prepare the boring stuff if it's a home (get all the stuff I need, open the documents, etc) and THEN I take that break. It's important for my brain to have breaks, but that way it's easy to get started again. 😊
Happy New Year! Dish soap will take out the grease stain. Cover the stain with a thin layer of soap, let it sit for a bit, and then wash as normal. Don't dry it, just in case the stain doesn't come out in the first wash. The heat from the dryer will set it. I learned that one the hard way 😅
The dish soap should still wok - it’s meant to do the dirty on greasy dishes, right? I think in the US they recommend Dawn, here in NL we use Dreft and in the UK I always had a bottle of Fairy Liquid on hand. And no giggling about the name, the Brits have always been …. Eccentric 😝 it’s why I fit in there so well, hahaha
Loved the music you choose for this video. Super relaxing & calming. Your trip to Portland looked fun. I ❤ Trader Joe's. Currently obsessed with their Korean pancakes with soy & jasmine rice. Your chickpea curry looked yummy. Happy New Year🎉
Chelsea, for the grease stain on your skirt try dawn dish detergent. Let it sit for awhile then launder as usual. If that doesn’t work try a dry cleaner to see if they can get the stain out.
Hi Chelsea! Although it may not work fully as you already washed it but add any form of powder (foot or baby) on each stain, like a lot and allow it to sit for almost a day in sunlight and that should soak up the oil and do this as many times as you need and that should do the trick. This works best when oil stain is fresh. Best of luck!
🎊🎊🎊 Happy New Year Chelsea & family, I'm New to your channel and it's my first time commenting!!! To answer your question regarding getting the oil out of your favorite skirt (use Lustoil) I promise the stain will come out!!! When cutting onions first run them under the cold water( it helps to eliminate the gas fumes from the onions) I hope this was helpful!!! Welcome back home and I look forward ⏩ to seeing what you have happening in 2025!!!
Try using washing up liquid (one you use for your dishes) on those stains (just rub some of it on them) before washing the skirt in the washing machine again. My mum taught me that trick and it works on most stains, especially those pesky oily ones - hope this will help :)
Chelsea!!!!! You have been missed!! I actually squealed when I saw your video 😂 then had to wait to watch it cuz we're moving, and I've been up to my eyes balls in boxes 😒 so glad you enjoyed your time with family. So important. 🎇2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣🎆 ❤
Ok, dawn dish soap, and rub it from the inside, it pushes the stain back out. It works, I just did it on my favorite emerald green shirt. I also hate leaving my cats. It’s so hard. The book that I’m reading right now is so good. It is called, The Let Them Theory: by Mel Robbin’s. So so good. ❤Happy New Year 😊
Interesting.. You touched the plane before entering as well.. (for good luck?) I used to watch Shay curl on RUclips many years ago and I learned that from him 😊 Happy new year!🎉
Happy 2025! You inspired me to pick up running in 2024 (thanks for that, even though I hate doing it 😂) so I'm going in my first run of the new year in a couple of minutes, because I want to continue doing it 💪🏼
Oh no!! I was just in the PDX airport on 1/4, I would have loved to run into you! lol 😅 Happy New Year 🎉 from SF Bay Area! Wishing an amazing year to come! 🤗
STAIN/ SKIRT: it's really simple. All u do is take any kind of concentrated laundry detergent pour it directly over the stain area (saturate it well) let it sit overnight and then throw it in a very hot washer and it should come right out but it needs sit at least 8 to 12 hours. I've done this with all of my kids stuff my things and I cook a lot and it always works! I usually use ALL concentrated. Good luck, it should work like a charm!
The gang is back together!! Happy New Year everyone, hope everyone is doing well!! loved seeing a glimpse of your family life Chelsea! I’m with you on the video games, I love watching people play but when I try I’m so lost 😂 The kitties were so happy you were home😻
Re: stain - cover the area with a generous layer of baby powder and let it sit flat overnight or as long as you can. It absorbs the grease. You can then use the other methods suggested before washing!
Awww, yay! You're back on RUclips! I'm glad you enjoyed your break. Getting to see bits and pieces of your time in Portland was wholesome, as was coming home to NYC to the kitties. Great job easing back into things. You're inspiring me, as usual, with your run. Happy New Year! 🎉❤
So happy you are back but happier you got to relax and enjoy your family. What a great memory to have of your dad. Regarding missing your cats, over 20 years ago, I went back to Puerto Rico for a few months to take care of my mom who was dying of cancer and I missed my dog (and husband) so much, my body physically ACHED. Wishing you a wonderful and healthy New Year. My goal for the new year..? The usual getting healthier which I fail miserably..😂.. I also love to eat out so maybe less of that.
Missed you chelsea!! So happy to see your notification again 🫶🏻🫶🏻 so glad the cats were well taken care of and you spent a well deserved time off with your family ❤ Excited for your videos this year lots of love 🥰
I'm off to such a slow start this new year I'm a day late watching this! And am 100% a one-trip-to-Trader-Joe's-at-a-time woman. Also, in the future, your cats may be glad to see you when you return, but pissed off and snub you for a few days. It's a thing.

AM I FIRST..?! THATS how PSYCHED I/we’ve been to have you back home in NYC w the kitties. HAPPY NEW YEAR!🗽😻😻🎉
Deli laying there with her arms in the air at 21:04 - what a lil' poppet! Glad you had a lovely time at your Mom's. My Dad died 6th Jan 2016, and every year we visit to lay a wreath on his grave and have a big family meal together, but this year snow storms stopped us visiting. Soon, though.
Welcome back, Chelsea! I’m so glad you had a wonderful getaway with family to start off the new year. And that your feline family did just fine until you got home again. ❤❤❤ Here’s to an amazing new year ahead for us all! Clink, clink! ☕️✨☕️
Grease on the skirt- first try to let it sit overnight with blue Dawn dish soap on every part of the stain. Then try washing that If that doesn’t work- try sprinkling (I douse it heavily) with baby powder all over the grease and leave it for a day Then wash If it still doesn’t work, no idea
Dish soap for that grease stain! I had something similar happen on one of my dresses and after about 3 washes with spot treatment and then dish soap spot treatment I got them all out. Good luck and Happy New Year!
HI 👋 welcome back Glad you had such a great time with family and friends For me, it never ever gets easier leaving my Kitties even though my daughter and granddaughters take the most excellent care of them and they give me frequent updates. Happy New Year 🎉 I hope 2025 is kind to all of us
Typically, I'm a silent viewer, but I feel like I owe you a heart felt thank you. Remember the show "Everybody Has A Story" by Steve Hartman? I used to love that show as a kid, and it still resinates with me today; everyone truly does have a story. I have found so much peace in following other single gal's in their 30's while my friends are married, and having kids. I love that for them, but having community that is in a similar life stage has felt like the best hug ever. And, let's be honest, you are a leader on that front. So much so, I decided this summer, I also wanted to record my story, and save memories along the way also. I got to recording, but ultimately chickened out.... until, my Godson was murdered on September 29th. And that was it, the final push, to preserve the moments and people in my life that tell my story. And so, through grief, I've sorted through clips and attempted to put together my first two videos. Today, while pulling up clips for my third vlog, there is was, B-Roll footage of me talking to my God-son, the last phone call I ever had with him. Obviously, I sobbed. Ultimately, my first two videos are a bit of a mess, but I'm learning. J-Cuts, L-Cuts, Story Boarding.... It's all a lot right now. That doesn't matter. What matters? Everybody has a story. Thank you for being raw, and real, and most importantly, an inspiration.
Awe wow this is so kind of you to write. I'm so sorry for your loss :( It's so special and healing to take little recorded moments and make something of it to remember chapters of your life, good and bad. I'm horrendous at answering dm's these days, but when you finish the video would love to see it if you're willing to send to me I'll keep an eye out for it ❤ much love to a fellow single 30-something xx
@@ChelseaCallahan Sending you this link feels like bragging to Usaine Bolt that I learned how to walk... ruclips.net/video/gqqlfASNS2U/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Yey, you're back 🎉. I hope you had a peaceful and restful break. Oh, and try Dish soap for the grease mark on your skirt. Just dap on the area till it's foamy, then rinse. It's a tip I had to used when I got grease on my jeans on a trip away. Worked a treat 😊.
Yay you are back! We missed you and the kitties too! 😻

Im so glad the kitties were okay. I left my 2 kitties for the 1st time in 6 yrs for NYC Marathon 2024 for 3 nites. I had a lovely neighbor and coworker checking in on them a couple times a day and feeding them. But they were traumatized. Even the friendly one was hiding under the bed. My neighbor said she didn’t think that one of them even existed because she didn’t see him the whole time . I felt so bad. I went into NYC for New Year’s Eve just for the night. The New Year’s Eve midnight run was canceled because of lightning. But that’s OK. I got a credit towards another race this year. Most importantly, I got the feeders that I use. I’ve never tried feeders before, but I bought a couple from Amazon. I hate reading instructions so I was just winging it. One of them worked and the other one didn’t open. But it was only one night so they were okay. But yeah, it is really stressful leaving them alone. Anyway, welcome back!🗽😻😻 Happy New Year to you Gordo & Deli! 🎉I’ll be im NYC again for my b-day in late March. Can’t wait.
Try Lestoil on the stains before washing. Loved this video. Glad you had a great time on vacay with family. I just had a serious knee/leg injury so im laid up and this calmed me.
Chelsea!❤ nothing like getting back from a vet visit (cat neets surgery 😢) and seeing you uploaded, your content is so comforting ❤ hope you'll have a great year! 😊
Chelsea!!! Hi! Again, Happy New Year! Welcome back! Welcome home! All the things! : ) You were missed, Girl! And, Gordo & Deli are EVERYTHING! So, so precious! Thank you for sharing them with us! [insert heart emoji here - LOL] Loved today's video! I especially love your comments at the end. Yes, I agree, productivity is too romanticized. I'll focus on taking daily, consistent, inspired action toward my goals this year. For now, it's doing at least 15 minutes of yoga a day, practicing mindfulness, and I think that's it for now. LOL I too feel like "slowing down" and "hibernating" a bit SO more power to us in the new year as we take it one day at a time! Love you, Girl! Be well! See you next time! ; )
Goodness I'm glad to see this - missed your content! The raw and real vibes and your voiceovers - really missed them during your break and watched a good amount of back catalogue
HI FAM! I missed y'all after our hefty 12 days of vlogmas 💘How was your holiday? Excited to catch up in this video. I have another vlog I filmed this week too that will go live sometime this weekend... not sure if it will be saturday or sunday. More catch ups and goal setting + exciting nyc events 👀to come!! Much love xx
Ahhh you're back!!! ❤🎉 much love !
Missed you!!
Always great to come home to someone who loves and misses you. Every time I go away that’s all I can think of is my kitty…hate leaving her…but you need your time too. Love your vlogs💞
Yay! You're back! 💜
Happy new year Chelsea!
I really missed your content. You are just such a breath of fresh air amongst all the staged and overly aesthetic content landscape ❤
Awe thanks
Ballerina Farm springs to mind.
I don’t know but I just love your Mom’s style and taste of her home and how gentle she was with your grandma!!
I am a 74 yr young man, divorced, live alone, and I learn and enjoy listening to you, similiar personalities, thanks
1tsp of Dawn. 1 tbs baking soda. Make a paste. Rub with your fingers into material. Let sit overnight. Wash as usual. Hope this helps.😊

Yes Dawn or I've heard shampoo is good at cutting out the grease. Dawn the classic blue bottle would be my first choice😊
Yes! The dawn power wash works the best in my opinion!

I have mostly hippy dippy cleaning products but classic blue Dawn and Dawn Power wash are always on hand for when you need a nuclear option 😅
Hi Chelsea! Although it may not work fully as you already washed it but add any form of powder (foot or baby) on each stain, like a lot and allow it to sit for almost a day in sunlight and that should soak up the oil and do this as many times as you need and that should do the trick. This works best when oil stain is fresh. Best of luck!
I laughed out loud at the moment with the onion!! 😅 Sooo good to see you in the new year, Chelsea!
Cool video Chelsea,as always. 😊 I’m glad to see your cats are still crazy.
Girl you inspire me to travel can’t wait to get a new job and do more things ❤
🎊🎊🎊 Happy New Year Chelsea & family, I'm New to your channel and it's my first time commenting!!! To answer your question regarding getting the oil out of your favorite skirt (use Lustoil) I promise the stain will come out!!!
When cutting onions first run them under the cold water( it helps to eliminate the gas fumes from the onions) I hope this was helpful!!!
Welcome back home and I look forward ⏩ to seeing what you have happening in 2025!!!
Try using washing up liquid (one you use for your dishes) on those stains (just rub some of it on them) before washing the skirt in the washing machine again. My mum taught me that trick and it works on most stains, especially those pesky oily ones - hope this will help :)
thank you!
All of that shopping was so inspiring! 😂
Chelsea!!!!! You have been missed!! I actually squealed when I saw your video 😂 then had to wait to watch it cuz we're moving, and I've been up to my eyes balls in boxes 😒 so glad you enjoyed your time with family. So important. 🎇2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣🎆 ❤
omg best of luck with the move!!! so exciting
Ok, dawn dish soap, and rub it from the inside, it pushes the stain back out. It works, I just did it on my favorite emerald green shirt. I also hate leaving my cats. It’s so hard. The book that I’m reading right now is so good. It is called, The Let Them Theory: by Mel Robbin’s. So so good. ❤Happy New Year 😊
Aww, family time is the best! ❤Welcome back to the PNW. Looks like a lovely time. 😊
Interesting.. You touched the plane before entering as well.. (for good luck?) I used to watch Shay curl on RUclips many years ago and I learned that from him 😊
Happy new year!🎉
This was a great welcome back - and such lovely music, too. The cats were so happy to see you!!
Happy 2025! You inspired me to pick up running in 2024 (thanks for that, even though I hate doing it 😂) so I'm going in my first run of the new year in a couple of minutes, because I want to continue doing it 💪🏼
Oh no!! I was just in the PDX airport on 1/4, I would have loved to run into you! lol 😅 Happy New Year 🎉 from SF Bay Area! Wishing an amazing year to come! 🤗
STAIN/ SKIRT: it's really simple. All u do is take any kind of concentrated laundry detergent pour it directly over the stain area (saturate it well) let it sit overnight and then throw it in a very hot washer and it should come right out but it needs sit at least 8 to 12 hours. I've done this with all of my kids stuff my things and I cook a lot and it always works! I usually use ALL concentrated.
Good luck, it should work like a charm!
I love all your videos but your cozy ones are my FAVORITE! Also if you ever wanted to do a TJs haul video I would not be mad!
The gang is back together!! Happy New Year everyone, hope everyone is doing well!! loved seeing a glimpse of your family life Chelsea! I’m with you on the video games, I love watching people play but when I try I’m so lost 😂 The kitties were so happy you were home😻
❤❤❤
Re: stain - cover the area with a generous layer of baby powder and let it sit flat overnight or as long as you can. It absorbs the grease. You can then use the other methods suggested before washing!
I missed your videos :) it is my weekly routine to make time for myself with some food or drink and watch your video
wait the slow living of oregon was so refreshing to see 🥹 glad you had family time and got to reunite with the kitties
Hi Chelsea buy shout spray directly to the stains and let it set for a few minutes then wash it should come off promise 😊
I love how the cats are following you at every step, surely they miss you a lot too ❤
I missed you so much. You are like my best friend. I missed the cats too.
Awww, yay! You're back on RUclips! I'm glad you enjoyed your break. Getting to see bits and pieces of your time in Portland was wholesome, as was coming home to NYC to the kitties.
Great job easing back into things. You're inspiring me, as usual, with your run.
Happy New Year! 🎉❤
So nice to see you again
Nice to see you again, Chelsea❤️❤️❤️ Missed you and the kitties🥰 The best feeling is coming home to our lovely pets❤️ Happy New Year🍀
Yup, Dawn dish soap. My mother’s laundry tip when I started doing my own laundry 30 years ago.
So happy you are back but happier you got to relax and enjoy your family. What a great memory to have of your dad.
Regarding missing your cats, over 20 years ago, I went back to Puerto Rico for a few months to take care of my mom who was dying of cancer and I missed my dog (and husband) so much, my body physically ACHED. Wishing you a wonderful and healthy New Year. My goal for the new year..? The usual getting healthier which I fail miserably..😂.. I also love to eat out so maybe less of that.
Missed you chelsea!! So happy to see your notification again 🫶🏻🫶🏻 so glad the cats were well taken care of and you spent a well deserved time off with your family ❤ Excited for your videos this year lots of love 🥰
I'm off to such a slow start this new year I'm a day late watching this! And am 100% a one-trip-to-Trader-Joe's-at-a-time woman. Also, in the future, your cats may be glad to see you when you return, but pissed off and snub you for a few days. It's a thing.
AM I FIRST..?! THATS how PSYCHED I/we’ve been to have you back home in NYC w the kitties. HAPPY NEW YEAR!🗽😻😻🎉
I've been hanging out waiting for Chelsea's next video too! Welcome home Chelsea!
@@laurenchalmers405So psyched we are back hanging out her with eachother again🗽😻
Deli laying there with her arms in the air at 21:04 - what a lil' poppet!
Glad you had a lovely time at your Mom's.
My Dad died 6th Jan 2016, and every year we visit to lay a wreath on his grave and have a big family meal together, but this year snow storms stopped us visiting. Soon, though.
Welcome back, Chelsea! I’m so glad you had a wonderful getaway with family to start off the new year. And that your feline family did just fine until you got home again. ❤❤❤ Here’s to an amazing new year ahead for us all! Clink, clink! ☕️✨☕️
Grease on the skirt- first try to let it sit overnight with blue Dawn dish soap on every part of the stain. Then try washing that
If that doesn’t work- try sprinkling (I douse it heavily) with baby powder all over the grease and leave it for a day
Then wash
If it still doesn’t work, no idea
Dish soap for that grease stain! I had something similar happen on one of my dresses and after about 3 washes with spot treatment and then dish soap spot treatment I got them all out. Good luck and Happy New Year!
HI 👋 welcome back
Glad you had such a great time with family and friends
For me, it never ever gets easier leaving my Kitties even though my daughter and granddaughters take the most excellent care of them and they give me frequent updates.
Happy New Year 🎉
I hope 2025 is kind to all of us
Dish soap is legit when it comes to grease stains
Alright, got my dose of CC. I'm feeling better now!
You always add the best music for your little interludes; I LOVE the variety ☺️ welcome back & happy new year!!🥳🥳
awe thanks!!
Wow looks like a great holiday trip. The cats look good and glad to see you. Wishing you a Happy New Year!
aaaah she's back! :) great to see you again, happy new year Chelsea! 💗
So pleased you're back ! We missed you tons. Hope 2025 has started well for you. Settling down to watch you now. Love from Scotland ❤
Love your vlogs, make me feel better ❤️🩹
Good to have you back! Missed you!😸
Happy new year!! Welcome back to the city🎉
I'm so happy you're back. I missed your realistic content. Happy New Year and blessings to you and the people watching!
Typically, I'm a silent viewer, but I feel like I owe you a heart felt thank you.
Remember the show "Everybody Has A Story" by Steve Hartman? I used to love that show as a kid, and it still resinates with me today; everyone truly does have a story.
I have found so much peace in following other single gal's in their 30's while my friends are married, and having kids. I love that for them, but having community that is in a similar life stage has felt like the best hug ever. And, let's be honest, you are a leader on that front. So much so, I decided this summer, I also wanted to record my story, and save memories along the way also. I got to recording, but ultimately chickened out.... until, my Godson was murdered on September 29th. And that was it, the final push, to preserve the moments and people in my life that tell my story. And so, through grief, I've sorted through clips and attempted to put together my first two videos. Today, while pulling up clips for my third vlog, there is was, B-Roll footage of me talking to my God-son, the last phone call I ever had with him. Obviously, I sobbed.
Ultimately, my first two videos are a bit of a mess, but I'm learning. J-Cuts, L-Cuts, Story Boarding.... It's all a lot right now. That doesn't matter. What matters? Everybody has a story.
Thank you for being raw, and real, and most importantly, an inspiration.
Awe wow this is so kind of you to write. I'm so sorry for your loss :( It's so special and healing to take little recorded moments and make something of it to remember chapters of your life, good and bad. I'm horrendous at answering dm's these days, but when you finish the video would love to see it if you're willing to send to me I'll keep an eye out for it ❤ much love to a fellow single 30-something xx
@ Of course! Would love to share it. 🫶🏼
@@ChelseaCallahan Sending you this link feels like bragging to Usaine Bolt that I learned how to walk... ruclips.net/video/gqqlfASNS2U/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Yey, you're back 🎉. I hope you had a peaceful and restful break. Oh, and try Dish soap for the grease mark on your skirt. Just dap on the area till it's foamy, then rinse. It's a tip I had to used when I got grease on my jeans on a trip away. Worked a treat 😊.
Welcome back, Chelsea and kitties!! We missed you!!! Happy 2025! 😽🎉🎇
Happy that you’re back! I’ve been catching up on some of your vlogs from the past year. Your channel is very inspiring to me. Thank you!☺️
Awe thanks for watching!!
Yay you are back! We missed you and the kitties too! 😻
Im so glad the kitties were okay.
I left my 2 kitties for the 1st time in 6 yrs for NYC Marathon 2024 for 3 nites. I had a lovely neighbor and coworker checking in on them a couple times a day and feeding them. But they were traumatized. Even the friendly one was hiding under the bed.
My neighbor said she didn’t think that one of them even existed because she didn’t see him the whole time . I felt so bad.
I went into NYC for New Year’s Eve just for the night. The New Year’s Eve midnight run was canceled because of lightning. But that’s OK. I got a credit towards another race this year.
Most importantly, I got the feeders that I use. I’ve never tried feeders before, but I bought a couple from Amazon. I hate reading instructions so I was just winging it. One of them worked and the other one didn’t open.
But it was only one night so they were okay. But yeah, it is really stressful leaving them alone.
Anyway, welcome back!🗽😻😻
Happy New Year to you Gordo & Deli! 🎉I’ll be im NYC again for my b-day in late March. Can’t wait.
Happy new year😊 I put dishwashing detergent on grease stains, rubb it in a bit and put it then in the washing maschine.
Try Lestoil on the stains before washing.
Loved this video. Glad you had a great time on vacay with family.
I just had a serious knee/leg injury so im laid up and this calmed me.
Chelsea!❤ nothing like getting back from a vet visit (cat neets surgery 😢) and seeing you uploaded, your content is so comforting ❤ hope you'll have a great year! 😊
Oh no, I hope your kitty will be okay. Sending all the healing, comforting vibes your way ❤
@@Serendipitous69 thank you so much!
Hi Chelsea, glad you're back, and Happy New Year to you and the kitties!
Hi Chelsea,
Glad you had a great visit to see your family
💙, 🇳🇱
Welcome back... Always nice to see your videos back on my feed :) Here's to your 2025; May the best be yet to come! 🥂
Chelsea!!! Hi! Again, Happy New Year! Welcome back! Welcome home! All the things! : ) You were missed, Girl! And, Gordo & Deli are EVERYTHING! So, so precious! Thank you for sharing them with us! [insert heart emoji here - LOL] Loved today's video! I especially love your comments at the end. Yes, I agree, productivity is too romanticized. I'll focus on taking daily, consistent, inspired action toward my goals this year. For now, it's doing at least 15 minutes of yoga a day, practicing mindfulness, and I think that's it for now. LOL I too feel like "slowing down" and "hibernating" a bit SO more power to us in the new year as we take it one day at a time! Love you, Girl! Be well! See you next time! ; )
LOVED this comment
Goodness I'm glad to see this - missed your content! The raw and real vibes and your voiceovers - really missed them during your break and watched a good amount of back catalogue
Happy New Year!! Loved the music you used in this vlog. Great way to start the year off.
