So happy for you. I would never live in LA. People glamorize the worst places. Sounds trendy and cool but I know the reality of it. It's a very good thing you found a happy healthy place to live xo
I looove that you just subtly bring in Christian values in all your videos! My boyfriend and I are also long distance currently because of university and next year I'll be moving closer to him like you, but we're waiting till we're married to move in together as well ahaha!
Grew up in the Bay Area, lived in Central Cali, then moved to SoCal/Oc. Guess what? Now I live in the Midwest and bought a house with an acre in my 20's. Been there, done that. Now I want a fam 👌
First off, YES to someone saying they don't believe in living together before marriage. I'm 25 and have never lived with a significant other. My dad and I have a running joke because I always say, I won't move my toothbrush if we aren't in talks of serious commitment. I just can't. Too messy, mixing bills and all of that when you're not married. NO THANKS. And I appreciate you being honest about how you feel about LA. I think it can be so romanticized and everyone thinks it's this amazing place to live, but that may not be the case for everyone.
I live here I like it, but I stay in The Valley. I've lived in the crappy parts of LA and I get it DTLA can be the worst because we have such a huge issue with homeless people and we really need to put resources into helping them since a lot of them have mental health issues. However, I digress from the others I like it its chill, but I get Carly I mean I could totally move down to Orange Country or Santa Barbara and still be fine with just visiting LA. Though my work is here so I have to go to WeHo and it's hellish traffic like once a week. Also, sometimes the people are exhausting it's hard to find real people because everyone is a mover and shaker trying to get ahead and sometimes they can be real assholes.
LA honestly sucks. I live in Orange County and I absolutely despise any time I have to drive to LA for anything. Good for you for getting out of there!!
There's a quote that goes along the lines of "Los Angeles is 72 suburbs in search of a city." I think that's so true because our downtown area is so underdeveloped and embarrassing. We probably have the worst DT in the whole of the country and like everybody that lives in LA actually just lives in LA county.
I love that despite the craziness of this industry you still stick to your values and that you and your boyfriend decided not to live together before mariage!
I hear the genuine happiness in your voice! I also move every 2 exhausting years...21 months and I get to leave rainy London and return to the friendly Chi! Who's counting?
Ahh I love you so much! So happy you are actually following the Bible (by not living with your boyfriend before marriage.) you are such an inspiration and I love your hilarious but amazing personality and your amazing style. Literally neutrals are my life.
Finally, someone who thinks like I do! It's nice to know that you and your boyfriend decided to NOT move in together until you get married. I know its old-fashioned, but good to know that morals aren't dead.
i just found your channel and i think you're my new favorite youtuber just for saying you won't live with your bf until you're married 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 after years of feeling like everyone i know and myself were just guaranteed to mess up in the ways that we did because we had no role models left, it's refreshing to see a Christian content creator who is honest and open about her beliefs. xx
I live low Angeles! On the weekends! But my husband work in downtown and it's horrible. And yes we have lived here all of our lives but the traffic and the characters that you find are the biggest reasons not to like it
I didn't live with my husband before getting married either and it definitely set us up for a successful relationship compared to some other cohabitating relationships that were happening with people we knew.
Literally me with NYC, it pains me when people visit there, or go to school there and are obsessed with it, but then when you have to fend for yourself, somehow affording $2000 rent on a closet and buying yourself food in between spending at least an hour one way on a subway to get to your shitty job, the entire city is just a waste of time :')
Hahaha, I liked white marble since the early 90's. But I am quite older than you, like 20 years. LOL PANERA! YAAASSSSS! Is your new place near the beach? Thanks for the updates. ~Smile!
Caaaaarrrrrllllyyyyyy!!! You have been one of my biggest inspirations for home décor! I love your style. You ALWAYS put SO much work into your rental apartments! I absolutely loved this loft but if you are not happy and if it's not working for you then, it's time to go. Congratulations on all the good things coming your way!
Dude, hearing someone say they aren't moving in together before marriage because of what they believe is such a breath of fresh air. I feel like it's something most people don't understand at all these days. Thanks for being upfront with what you believe! Woot! Great videos :)
Omg, I recently left Downtown LA myself and I've never seen a video more relatable. Good luck with your move and your new location. I am loving life since I left LA and will never go back.
I only just discovered your channel and just wanted to say that I love your video topics and the way you talk about them! Also, really grateful for the fact that you always sum up the content in the description, especially for "10 things" kinda videos. It really helps to recap and think about the separate points. Keep up the amazing work!!
I'm excited to see a new video in your new place! And I'm also glad that you will be yourself in the place you're gonna be living in! Trust me, I know how that goes!!
Carly, come to Minneapolis instead! It's all the urban excitement and industry stuff of LA on a smaller scale with generally more polite/modest people. Our summers are beautiful, 70-80 degrees and sunny, our winters are snowy and picture perfect for the holidays, and we have Mall of America and some fantastic restaurants :)
I don't trust anyone who loves HELL-A. I have a sweat stache from walking to get coffee at 11am and its fucking November. Dying to know where you're moving.
Okay so I just stumbled upon your channel and watched like 50 of your videos (I'm exaggerating on the number) but I clicked the subscribe button SO FAST, it's insane. I love that you're so real and also so classy and have a super interesting job but are also just authentically and unapologetically you! It's so cool too see genuine people and I love what you said about not moving in with Cody before you get married! I feel the same way about that and most of my friends think I'm crazy for thinking that way. It's so refreshing to see other people who think like you! Anyway, yeah, you're awesome❤️❤️❤️
So exciting! Can't wait to see more of the new place. Totally get what you mean about LA. I live an hour away and commute for events (which is a pain) but I love having a quieter city to go home to.
Why would people be complaining about her moving again? I love it coz we all what this means... NEW APARTMENT TOUR VIDEO! (and they have been just getting better and better)
Hey! Your videos are always so smooth I could watch a 5 min video by another RUclipsr and get bored by min 3 but when you end your videos I'm all like "wait it's over"
I feel ya girl I went to visit LA and stayed downtown at the Sheraton. I was in shock at all the homeless on the streets and the smell of piss. 😔 I'm from Boston. LA is awesome but downtown was scary 😂 Do you girl! Good luck on your move! God bless ✌🏽️
I've had to move every 1-2 years since 2010. It's not fun but I get very excited with each move because it's a step up and the correct kind of "new starts". I enjoy your vids and I do hope you'll do weekly blogs.
Me: "Think positive... I CANT WAIT FOR NEW HOME DECOR VIDEOS!" Also, it makes me so happy that you said you weren't moving in with your boyfriend because that's what you believe in. You're so courageous and honest about your faith- I admire you so much for that! Keep shining :)
This is great news, Carly!! I think you will be so much happier being out of the immediate LA area. I live in Santa Barbara county and I love that we are only a couple of hours away from Los Angeles when we need to go there but get to live in a beautiful part of the state at the same time:)
Lol..you want clouds...may I suggest moving to Seattle?I'm just 2 hrs north from there,beautiful Raincouver...clouds and rain is pretty much all we see...I dream of sunshine! lol..You're killin me...but I agree...I wouldn't live in LA either...outside yes!
It is so very refreshing to hear a RUclipsr say that she and her boyfriend will be waiting until they are married to move in together! I mean obviously, it is each person's choice, but I just really respect the example you give to your viewers. Happy for you and your future move! Seriously cannot wait to see the new place that you decide on. :)
I'm so happy for you!! I live in Arizona but I go to LA frequently and honestly I could never see myself living there. I go for a weekend and I'm so overwhelmed with how many people are there and the amount of traffic there is like no honey. But I love your videos and personality!! Can't wait to see your upcoming moving out/in videos
I think I couldn't live in LA since it feels so hectic but I wouldn't mind living in California. Both the south california and north california has the cutest little towns, mountain views, apple tree fields etc. All the best with the move Carly!
I. stinkin'. luhhhh you, girl! You crack me up. Thanks for being unapologetically Carly Cristman, always! Excited about all of the fun new adventures in your life! :)
Congrats on finding an area that you love and being able to move there. I moved to an area that I love 3 years ago and I still pinch myself sometimes when I'm driving down my street!😀
this is the first time I've watched a video of yours even though I was already subscribed for a long time 😅 anyways I love your personality!! and I love the theme of this video - white marble is my favorite too haha 😝 p.s. I would loveee weekly vlogmas videos!!! and a house tour 😁
absolutely love how you are not moving in with your boyfriend before you get married! it means you have values and morals that you keep at heart and arent peer pressured to do anything. hope your new place brings you a whole lot of joy and peace! xo
Refreshing to see someone so trendy saying they don't want to live with their significant other until after marriage
Kristiana Chancy Yesss!!!
Kristiana Chancy agreed!!
Kristiana Chancy yes!!!!!! I believe in that.
Kristiana Chancy YASSSS!! Carly rocks!
Warms me when she said that!
So happy for you. I would never live in LA. People glamorize the worst places. Sounds trendy and cool but I know the reality of it. It's a very good thing you found a happy healthy place to live xo
Love that you are only moving in together after you get married and you're willing to say it. So much respect for you and it's an inspiration
LA is so overrated, it gives me anxiety
Lorien Patmore agreed
I looove that you just subtly bring in Christian values in all your videos! My boyfriend and I are also long distance currently because of university and next year I'll be moving closer to him like you, but we're waiting till we're married to move in together as well ahaha!
Grew up in the Bay Area, lived in Central Cali, then moved to SoCal/Oc. Guess what? Now I live in the Midwest and bought a house with an acre in my 20's. Been there, done that. Now I want a fam 👌
mine is the opposite. Grew up in the midwest and planning on moving to California
i just enjoy your personality so much. why don't i have any friends like you irl.
misstinapham literally said the exact same thing 😂😂
misstinapham exactly what I think every time I watch her videos
ALSO yes please to the weekly vlogmas!!!
GIRL U READ THE INFO LOVE YOU THANK YOU
YES
I've been watching vlogmas from last year because I found you within the year....girl. I live for your vlogas. PLZ.
sharshey yes yes yes! Vlogmas please

Finally girl! I feel ya, LA sucks!
Terra Leona Korpak Guuuurl, visiting the pretty parts of LA, and Living there, are two completely different things!
exactly!!
I live here I like it, but I stay in The Valley. I've lived in the crappy parts of LA and I get it DTLA can be the worst because we have such a huge issue with homeless people and we really need to put resources into helping them since a lot of them have mental health issues.

Also, sometimes the people are exhausting it's hard to find real people because everyone is a mover and shaker trying to get ahead and sometimes they can be real assholes.
+Kate some parts of the valley suck as well haha. what part are you from?
Terra Leona Korpak well downtown la is garbage and that's the part Carly was talking about lol
LA honestly sucks. I live in Orange County and I absolutely despise any time I have to drive to LA for anything. Good for you for getting out of there!!
Sooooo funny! I moved to LA last year for a job, but absolutely hated it and moved as soon as my year was up. Hope you love your new place!
There's a quote that goes along the lines of "Los Angeles is 72 suburbs in search of a city." I think that's so true because our downtown area is so underdeveloped and embarrassing. We probably have the worst DT in the whole of the country and like everybody that lives in LA actually just lives in LA county.
I left LA after 2 years! Couldn't stand how crazy it was too! Whatever makes you happy :)
I love that despite the craziness of this industry you still stick to your values and that you and your boyfriend decided not to live together before mariage!
I hear the genuine happiness in your voice! I also move every 2 exhausting years...21 months and I get to leave rainy London and return to the friendly Chi! Who's counting?
wooo!! congrats!!
I was born and raised in LA and the traffic and smog is exhausting. That's why I moved to San Diego and I love it!
I love that you weren't afraid to say that you're not moving in with your boyfriend. #represent
I would like to know where's "the happiest place on earth." Is it Disneyland? I'm curious to know the city/area you refer to.
Jenna K Probably
I've never been to disneyland so nope not there haha
Carly Cristman the happiest place in America is San Luis Obispo 😉
Is it Murrieta or Temecula?
I'm going to guess Irvine?
Ahh I love you so much! So happy you are actually following the Bible (by not living with your boyfriend before marriage.) you are such an inspiration and I love your hilarious but amazing personality and your amazing style. Literally neutrals are my life.
Your personality is probably my favorite I've ever stumbled across. Lol. You constantly crack me up.
Its so nice that you wait to move in with your bf until your married!! Planning to do the same one day :)
I've lived in So Cal all my life and LA......nope nope nope. I don't even want to drive there. I live about an hr an a half east of LA and I love it!
Finally, someone who thinks like I do! It's nice to know that you and your boyfriend decided to NOT move in together until you get married. I know its old-fashioned, but good to know that morals aren't dead.
I have lived in LA all my life (36 years) and I officially hate it! Can't stand the traffic. I'm so ready to leave!
When you are young it's just common to move a lot! I moved 6 times in 4 years. It's just hard to find a good place and things are constantly changing.
I'm thumbsing up JUST for the intro. Love you Carly! lol
i just found your channel and i think you're my new favorite youtuber just for saying you won't live with your bf until you're married 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 after years of feeling like everyone i know and myself were just guaranteed to mess up in the ways that we did because we had no role models left, it's refreshing to see a Christian content creator who is honest and open about her beliefs. xx

I can't keep up on how many times you moved. But Now it's the time do it before kids and husband. Have fun. Travel and live different places.
Fun Cooking and More do you think Kalel has moved again since this video was posted? Hahahaha!!
Yes please do weekly vlogs I miss your MOM! Lol!!! She's so hilarious.
San Diego is nice. I'm a native and still live here.
I'm so glad to hear you've found a place that makes you THAT happy and I can't wait to see what your new home looks like! :D
Before you move can you show us your lighting situation? I'm about to move into a cave myself and shooting will be a struggle for sureeeeee.
I just moved from MN to Santa Clarita (Valencia)... hope you're moving closer this way! :)
Emily Olson ugh valencia is beautiful
I just moved to Vegas from South Dakota! Neighbors for life;)
I'm in Valencia too. So boring... There's no place like LA.
I live in Stevenson ranch! And I love it!
I was born and raised in the SCV. 😊
I live a hour and half outside LA. It's nice that I can make a day trip to LA or stay a few nights and not worry about how far from home I am.
So glad to hear you are waiting till narrative to live together! That's amazing! It's refreshing to hear!
It's soooo awesome that you and your boyfriend aren't moving in together until marriage!! Love you and your videos so much!!
Hahaha, I liked white marble since the early 90's. But I am quite older than you, like 20 years. LOL PANERA! YAAASSSSS! Is your new place near the beach? Thanks for the updates. ~Smile!
My husband and I did not live together before we got married, either. 💗
Love how your personality came out in this one. Love it. ❤️❤️
Caaaaarrrrrllllyyyyyy!!! You have been one of my biggest inspirations for home décor! I love your style. You ALWAYS put SO much work into your rental apartments! I absolutely loved this loft but if you are not happy and if it's not working for you then, it's time to go. Congratulations on all the good things coming your way!
I think it is so cute that you guys want to wait to get married before moving in !
Dude, hearing someone say they aren't moving in together before marriage because of what they believe is such a breath of fresh air. I feel like it's something most people don't understand at all these days. Thanks for being upfront with what you believe! Woot! Great videos :)

Love that you're waiting to move in together. #values
AMEN
Yes, please do CarlyVlogs with your mom this Christmas! They really made my day back in the time!
Your loft absolutely beautiful! I understand your reasons for moving though. I'm sure your next place will be just as beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic! The change will be wonderful. Thank you for sharing your update.
I'm happy you were honest about your apartment. The grass isn't always greener I see lol I feel the same way about NY sometimes.
I'm excited to see a new video in your new place! And I'm also glad that you will be yourself in the place you're gonna be living in! Trust me, I know how that goes!!
I was expecting a Chicago move
I love u so much, you are slaying my life every time u post a video 😂👑💗
I. Love. Your. Content.
You beautiful human

Carly, come to Minneapolis instead! It's all the urban excitement and industry stuff of LA on a smaller scale with generally more polite/modest people. Our summers are beautiful, 70-80 degrees and sunny, our winters are snowy and picture perfect for the holidays, and we have Mall of America and some fantastic restaurants :)

Awesome Town:: Santa Clarita : which consists of Valencia, Stevenson Ranch, Saugus, Newhall, and Canyon Country! ❤️
Thank you, your soooo REAL! You can't say Carly is a poser!
Absolutely adore you and your style!!! You are perfect! Never change xo
This is great news, Carly!! I think you will be so much happier being out of the immediate LA area. I live in Santa Barbara county and I love that we are only a couple of hours away from Los Angeles when we need to go there but get to live in a beautiful part of the state at the same time:)
ily!
Lol..you want clouds...may I suggest moving to Seattle?I'm just 2 hrs north from there,beautiful Raincouver...clouds and rain is pretty much all we see...I dream of sunshine! lol..You're killin me...but I agree...I wouldn't live in LA either...outside yes!

I am in love with your videos and you are so real, raw, and authentic and I love that!
Okay so when you move are you going to tell us what complex your loft is in because literally I want one lmao
I would not recommend living in this building. I had to keep the reasons short for the video, but I could go on for days.
I think I couldn't live in LA since it feels so hectic but I wouldn't mind living in California. Both the south california and north california has the cutest little towns, mountain views, apple tree fields etc. All the best with the move Carly!
I. stinkin'. luhhhh you, girl! You crack me up. Thanks for being unapologetically Carly Cristman, always! Excited about all of the fun new adventures in your life! :)
One of the beach towns....Huntington, Hermosa, Lajolla...Manhattan Beach!

Congrats on finding an area that you love and being able to move there. I moved to an area that I love 3 years ago and I still pinch myself sometimes when I'm driving down my street!😀
