Im usually a silent watcher. But what you said about how people used to pick on you because the state of your house REALLY got me angry, like, what do you care! She ia still clean, the place is not rotting with bugs, just a little messy! Thank you for keep pushing and keep posting. You are like my big sister, only 2-3 years older 😂 that says to me that life is sometimes messy and bad but it can change and you can still love life. Being 29, single, living with my parents and looking for a job is not easy when everyone around you is gettin married and having kids and yada yada. And then you tell me "its allright" and you know? It is. So, thank you for being you. Lots of love from mexico ❤
This was a fun video! I like to cut my Nathan's hot dogs 🌭 down the middle & grill/ cook them face down so they caramelize a little, or I like them for breakfast with eggs! I think the ppl who are against Taro cards are religious, I'm not religious & I've always wanted to get my cards read. I'm just afraid it would become an addiction, like I'm having a bad day I should get a reading. So I've never started 😂because I know myself. I bet you can't imagine your life without your precious fur babies. I swear cats are telepathic. Love how they wanted to help you journal & then they were being crazy on the bed while you meditated.😂 I love your blog for how real it is. Life gets busy, sometimes 💩 gets put to the side: washing dishes, taking out the trash😮 have you ever thought about buying your own health insurance? That's what I'm doing. My current employer has terrible health insurance $75 for a copay before you can be seen by a Dr isn't affordable. Don't be without health insurance! So does Journaling before bed help with anxiety? I've been trying to incorporate 10 min a day of meditation & I swear it helps me sleep better & relieve stress. I've also been listening to these affirmation videos, shout out to Tisha's blog🎉 they really help me with positive thoughts & really help start my day off right, going to therapy is too $$. This girl has the most soothing voice...type on RUclips: Guided Affirmations by Lavendaire, really enjoying her stuff lately 🎉
Seeing your "messy" apartment was very relatable to me. I am a messy person - not dirty, I'm pretty clean - but I am messy. I am also busy! My space doesn't need to be perfectly tidy for me, and it almost never is, and that's okay - it works for me. It was refreshing to see someone else who is like yep my space is messy. I also wanted to say you are such a good cat mom! I am a vet and all your kind comments about the vet and staff warms my heart and I am sure it warms their hearts too!
People attacking you for the state of your home is so upsetting to me - I’m sorry to hear that happens. I love seeing your place in its true form - it’s refreshing and REAL. Thank you for opening up the way you do and keeping it real with us. We appreciate you ❤
I can't believe people have the audacity to make comments judging another person's apartment, after the creator is vulnerable enough to share it online and generous enough to welcome us (total strangers) into their safe space! Let's get a camera and tour around the commentor's space and see what everyone has to say about it, shall me? *sigh* 😤 I'm sorry you have to put up with that nonsense, Chelsea! Your apartment is homey, cozy, and realistic, and that's what I love about it! 🏡 Thank you for continuing to share it with us, despite judgmental strangers being triggered by normal day-to-day mess. 🙄
YES ! I ADORE Chelsea’s apt ! Itz so cozy & welcoming & real. Sheeeesh ! I never once thought it was messy or whatever. Like … these people need to get a life ! How awful of them to do that.
That hair length suits you beautifully! So sorry some viewers were picking on you, you don’t deserve that. Sharing your life is very brave and I commend you for being such a warm, positive, and authentic individual. Will continue to cheer you on!
Not a comments person, but wanted to say that your hair looks incredible at that length! I've been wearing my hair short like that for since college and I love it. Also, you're doing amazing! You're one of the few creators I wholeheartedly enjoy because I find you relatable; I don't walk away feeling judged or comparing myself, you only encourage others to be themselves by modeling it through your own life.
My house is always a mess and I get down on myself about it, so seeing realistic other people also having reasonable amounts of mess makes me feel better, lol. I can't wait to watch the kitties grow but also I want them to stay little forever!
Hamburger bun as hot dog bun is some real ISH 😂😂 like top tier! And people need to let go of the "aesthetic" lifestyle that is polluting social media right now. Real life is having a lived in apartment because DUH you LIVE there. It's your space and you definitely don't need explain it to people. If they don't like they can keep it moving. Just keep pushing through ❤
Oh! Get litterbox mats. They have two layers, the top is perforated. You surround the boxes with them so the cats step on them when they jump out. They collect litter from their feet so you can easily pour it back into their boxes. That and a litter genie (a smell containing trash/litter bin) and you will have 90% less hassle with litter, at least.
@@ChelseaCallahan I highly agree with the litter mat & the litter genie but also stainless steel litter boxes are so great to help keep the odor down I got one for each of my kittens and the took to the immediately even with the edge being 6 inches high, I got them from Amazon for $35-39 a bit pricey but I won’t ever have to replace them like the plastic ones that hold the odor.
Your home is your sanctuary! ❤. You get to keep it anyway YOU want! Never listen to anyone telling you that you are doing something wrong. You are the one that lives there and enjoy it any way you want. Love your kitties, your videos and you…just being you.
Hey Chelsea I truly value your authentic videos and the messy life. I'm in the same boat and it's refreshing to put your videos on and clean up while you clean. You're an awesome person and thank you!
I don’t comment often but one of the reasons I love your vlogs is because you are so vulnerable & your vlogs are so authentic. You don’t sugar coat things 🫶
As a pale girl recovering from a rowdy sunburn....you are doing a fantastic job! Low maintenace is still maintenance and caring for yourself. Taking time to take care of your mental and physical health is such a win 💚
I’m still recovering from an abusive ex boyfriend Coming here to your channel and seeing you solo yolo and vibe your way through life helps me get perspective that I will be okay. 😅🎉
Those kitties love you, and that says a lot about you. Mark Twain quote: when a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade without further introduction. 😊
What I LOVE about you is how REAL you are. Those who have "perfect" homes are so fake, and quite cringy. And i love that you also love to journal. I've been journaling since I was a kid too! Now I'm in my late 30s, and have indeed kept all my journals. And my cats, especially my one cat. He brings me a lot of peace. Love your babies! We're all a little mad here anyway. 🤪💙
Chelsea, I love the new hairdo! Thanks for taking us to Coney Island, the Lower East side and letting us inside your “bubble,” for a little bit. Your fur babies are obviously thriving and giving you back all the love you are giving to them.❤❤❤
As a very very pale girl who is also low-maintenance and doesn't really care about tanning, but wants to get tan every once in awhile to build a bit of confidence..... *takes a deep breath in lol* LOVING TAN brand is the absolute best. It has something in it that gives you an olive undertone and is anti-orange. I get the 2-hour express in Medium or Dark, put it on before bed, sleep in it, and wash it off in the morning and it just gives you an olivy sun-kissed look without being too dark. GOOD LUCK! lol
I agree! Bondi Sands is also amazing! If you get a tanner with a green undertone, it neutralizes the orange! I am very fair and freckled and get compliments all the time on how natural it looks!
I’m 70 years old, and came across your channel recently. Totally enjoying it! Reminds me of my days in the late 70s in Austin Texas…. When Austin was so cool. It’s not now. But we are in New Orleans now, so new experiences even at 70… Can wait to watch more of these!
Aww, the cat mama nerves ❤ The anxiety about leaving them does calm down eventually. You're such a great Mummy though! Coney Island looks so fun, and your hair looks lovely. Yay for tarot, too!
honestly, i needed that deep breath. thank you. and my favorite summer feeling is the night time summer air as it caresses your skin. god i love that feeling.
As far as mental health, spending time with friends, spending more time on beauty as I too am pretty low maintenance, deep breathing, and I i recently took a break from coffee to help me sleep.
Chelsea, you are a beautiful human! Thanks for taking us along on another adventure and for keeping your engagement pure and transparent. You’re a natural cat mom and it’s obvious how much your babies love you❤️
thank you for sharing what life actually is with us. it somehow helps me not put too push pressure on myself when it comes to building the life I want and reminds me that sometimes things get messy in the process. And that's okay. That realistic view on life helps me not beat myself up when things don't go my way, but simply allow them to slowly unfold and trust the process. That's why I love watching your videos a lot. I do find some comfort and courage in your videos. Chelsea, thank you and keep up the good work. :D
My dog is my happy place. Walking my dog is especially lovely. Early in the am with the birds chirping their first morning chirps. Heaven on earth.🙏🏼 Your hair is absolutely lovely!
first time viewer. You were on my suggested page. I liked this! Its real, its vulnerable, its your life. I am allergic to cats but they are so cute! You asked "what have you been doing to cope". I have been a daily meditator since 2017. For some reason I needed something for random anxiety. Its helped me tremendously. That and crystals. Yoga, Meditation and being "mindful" is really where its at as you approach your 40's. 20's were messy, and still figuring out who I "was", would never want to repeat. 30's I was like yah! I am comfortable and this is great. Then the 40's came.. (cue the jaws music). Its a different would as you approach (or get deeper into) perimenopause! So many new "things" to deal with. anyways, I look forward to binge watching more of you content! Thank you!
My favorite summer feeling is when it’s OVER! I live in Southern California in the high desert (elevation about 2,300 feet) and it is HOT 🥵 here!! It cools off some at night but the days are unbearable! So I always love when fall rolls around. It’s lovely! 😊
The bathroom cabinet door fanning face was epic! Tan is an instant mood boost! OMG avoid "a little life"!!!!! This video is everything. The edit, the multi camera angles, you are excellent x
I'm a new subscriber from Mohuya's channel! I really appreciate how vulnerable and real you are (talking about anxiety, journaling, meditating, living alone, etc) and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content! It's nice finding people on youtube that I can relate to.
Chelsea! Thank you for your content! Today and always! You do you, Girl, please! You hold your mic how you want, keep your home as tidy or untidy as you want, and do you! : ) I got the feels when you were sharing/asking about mental health, are we all struggling, how do we handle our mental health?! I journal too. I find it helps me purge what is on my mind ... good and not so good. : ) There is space on the page for it all. And, thank you for sharing your fur family ... they are amazing and a God-send, truly. 😍 And, I've had a Tarot card session or two in my life ... why not? : ) Again, thank you, Chelsea! See you next time. 🤩
This is why I love your channel. I think asking what people do for their mental health is super important in this day and age. I think it’s cool that you’re getting into meditation and breath work. I recently have too. Please never stop discussing these topics and never stop showing your apartment when it’s messy. It’s about having integrity and being real.
Thank you so much for sharing your day. It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one who has a sometimes (most of the time) messy home. Ignore the haters - it’s perfectly normal. I try to keep on top of it but sometimes it’s more important to focus on my wellbeing or get some sleep. I’m lucky to live in a country that has universal healthcare - although it’s not completely free - so I feel for you having to worry about needing health insurance. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I’m sometimes okay, yet often not so much. I try to find the joy in every day experiences. Love the haircut!
Journaling is SO GOOD for thought clarity! I don't journal much, but when I'm trying to make decisions or things are happening that I can't quite process, I journal. It gets my real feelings about stuff out and I can move forward. You're such a good cat Mama and it sounds like you have found some great vets.
Hi! If the doctors don’t find anything, chances are that your cat might be sensitive to the protein you’re feeding him. My cats were allergic to chicken, and I had no idea in the beginning, and they had diarrhea. Couldn’t figure out why. Turns out they’re very sensitive to chicken and once I switched to turkey and fish they stopped having issues. Look at the ingredients and make sure it says limited ingredient on the label when you’re trying this out. I recommend Merrick or Weruva (fish). You’d be surprised how some cans will be labeled fish and still have chicken in it 😅
I have no affiliation with the company, but as a 30-year cat owner, Wellness Core grain-free kibble (we use indoor formula) made a HUGE difference. No issues with digestion, skin, teeth, etc. We previously spent an insane amount on vet bills and have had healthy cats for 6 years now.
My male cat had diarrhea for a while and it turned out to be a sensitivity to his food. Took a sample to my vet for testing and they found nothing wrong but he still kept doing it. Did some research on common ingredients in cat foods (phosphates, oils, gums such as guar gum, carrageenans, etc) and ended up going with Orijen wet food (they have a kitten formula 😊) and stopped feeding dry food cause it can be too much for them to digest. He took a while to start liking it but now he loves it and I haven’t had problems since! Little guy could just have a sensitivity to something in the food. Maybe if he doesn’t stop you could try a new food? It’s pricey, but cheaper than vet visits down the line! Best of luck and hope kitty is feeling better! On another note: the haircut looks SO good!
The information about you journaling basically your whole life was 😮 soo surprising. I envy you! I wish I had that patience and had memories of all my life written down. Journalling is a great tool for mental health too ❤
Chelsea, your house is not messy, its perfect!!! So much growth from previous, which also was perfect)) when I look hoe you decorate your apparment I feel proud of you)) and going through depression myself at the moment, I want yo tell you: you coop with your life so great! Bless you, and a lot of kisses))) hello from Russia
“If something works, then I never replace it.” Me, too, @ChelseaCallahan! That saves me money and time, because, often I’ll hold on to things long enough that newer versions will come out. I never have to learn how they work. Things go out of style before I never knew they were in! ❤
I get my day started with a heavy lifting workout followed by 30 minutes walking my dog. This truly sets my day up on a positive note and I feel accomplished from the start.
Please don’t let other people‘s negativity influence you. Your home is not dirty, it’s just a little messy sometimes and I love seeing it. Your channel has been so authentic and comforting and you show the real side of life. I can relate to you in many ways and it’s comforting to know that i am not alone with some struggles. As long as the state of your home isn’t a danger to you or your cats, it’s all good. Plus, you always got on top of it eventually. Do your thing. You have shown how capable you are of taking care of three lives. Your cats seem to be fully comfortable at your apartment and you do too. ❤
I really missed watching these kinda video of yours, loved it! I really look up to you, you've come a long way. I sometime go back to your 2022, 2023 videos too because it's just soo comforting, and the vlogmas coffee ritual was like a warm hug for me 🥰
Happy Friday Chelsea ! You're haircut looks great ! Don't worry about the criticism keep doing you ! To answer your question about how I take care of my mental health is that I journal, I read books, I workout at the gym, I hike, and I take myself out.
I commented you for presenting your life on your channel, it's like opening up yourself to everyone, good or bad comments from people you don't know. You are showing us a window into your daily life with all the pros an cons we experience in a metropolis like NYC. Some will relate to you as it's also a reflection of there life an can provide encouragement. Anyway 👍❤
Hi Chelsea! so nice to see you ad the kitties thriving, they're so cute and they're growing so fast. The length of your hair suits you , it's perfect for your face and it's easy to maintain for sure. You look very pretty :) Wishing you and the kitties a great weekend ahead! Greetings from Germany 🤍
I’m so glad I found your channel! This brought me so much joy as I got ready today!! You’re living my dream. - a 35 year old mama of 3 who would love to be in NYC ❤
I love your haircut, it shows off your features very nice. And can I just say from what I see you are so much more relatable, at least to me, when you show real life as it is. It just makes me want to watch you more because my place looks like that too. People are always gonna find something to complain about. And for me the main reason I watch you is because I have never been to New York, obviously never lived there so everything that you show or do is all new and interesting to me. I come from a small town in SD so your videos are so much different than my life. I think you are doing great and always look forward to your videos.
Love this channel!! I deal with anxiety and (infrequent) depression. I find that mental health is really fluid. Prayer helps me a lot, but also learning how to set boundaries with unkind and pushy people. I am learning it is better to have an awkward moment of boundary setting than to let myself suffer indefinitely. And the AUDACITY of people to criticize, but I liked your question of "Why is that triggering for you?" Wish you and your little family all the best!
Fun vlog. Thanks for sharing. The sweet BB content is everything!! 💗💗 They are both so precious and It’s evident how much they both love you. Deli has settled in so well and is so comfortable and happy being with you and part of your family! I love it! Commenting on vlogs is way out of my comfort zone. I have silently watched vlogs for years now, but I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort/safe zone a little more and comment here and there. A few things I do for my mental health are, trying to take walks and change up my scenery. This is not always easy as I have hyper mobility syndrome and so I always have joint pain and muscle aches as well as feeling exhausted quite often. This can send me into a pattern of depression and anxiety and it can be difficult to manage. I also like taking pictures of flowers, butterflies and other bugs. It’s something that can really help me get out of my own head and I find it brings me joy to do. My cats help me EO much as well. They just provide so much love and affection as well as amusement with their curiosity and silliness. I love them to pieces! And my constant is music. Music has always been such an escape and so therapeutic for me. Sending Gordo and Deli lots of love from me and my four kitties 🙋🏻♀️😺😽😸😻
Love the new look.. you looked super cute with those sunglasses on.. and continue to keep it real.. that's what brought us here and that's why we are staying.. to watch you.. 😊 hug the kittens from me and have a wonderful weekend everyone
New subscriber here! I absolutely love your content! I also appreciate how you incorporate your sponsors into your videos. It's not overly obvious and flows well with your vlog. I'm looking forward to binging all your videos💕
Hey Chelsea, I haven't commented on a video ever but I just wanted to say thank you for showing the realistic side of living. I appreciate your honestly and genuineness that is comes through the video so clear. I watch some other vloggers, but I really appreciate the way that you just talk genuinely and from your heart. You feel like one of the realist vloggers on YT these days. Thanks for helping me break my perfectionists tendencies for keeping my house clean. (I'm one of the people that can't rest until the house is clean/organized, so you saying it is ok to leave the dishes in the sink is soooo refreshing). Thank again and tell Gordo and Deli is said hi!!
dont force your direction, it will come to you. you being you is interesting to me. my mental health is protected by my therapist and a couple vlogs, including yours. I walk my dogs first thing every morning and that really helps.
Love your new haircut. It looks so pretty on you. Your two kitties are just so much fun to watch. I even enjoyed watching you do the dishes. Very relaxing.
Oh my gosh, and I forgot to add, I love your Vlogs. I just found you randomly somehow one day and now I look forward to them. And then you really hooked me in when you got Gordo and Delilah. Lol 😂 I feel like you and I would be great friends. And I feel like your friends would be my friends, I just love the vibe
Definitely take your vet's advice. I'm not a vet but wanted to share my experience with a cat that had intermittent IBD. 100% pure canned pumpkin mixed in with food can sometimes help bind the poops. It's also helpful for the opposite with constipated poops. I always have a can on hand. Happy you enjoyed Coney Island - it's a fun beach to visit with lots to do! I'm obsessed with the original Love Island UK on Hulu. I didn't even realize there was a US version. Those cats sure hit the jackpot! Lastly, that haircut is everything on you!
Chelsea, I truly love your channel. Sometimes showing real life is too much for some people, but that’s the exact reason that I come to your channel. As a 29-year-old single girly who is also living alone, I find so much comfort in your videos. I get so happy when you upload and I love seeing your life. I live on the west coast and have never been to New York so I love experiencing it through your videos ❤
"EVERYONE SHUT UP" had me laughing so hard. 🙋♀️ same 😂 I love your content and how realistic it is. This is why I watch RUclips. You're doing a fantastic job 🎉.
Oh my gosh, girl, I just came here to say that I love Cordo and Delilah, and I love that your room is a messy disaster. my mental health is completely effed up, and my bedroom is a beautiful disaster. I’m older than you, and I’m glad that you’re figuring out not to give two shits about what people think. I’m 52, and I’ve reached that point in my life for I do not care, I wish I would’ve figured that out in my 30s the last 20 years would’ve been a little easier 😂❤❤❤❤
Chels you are doing great. I love you showing your realistic vlogs. Please don’t ever change. Greetings from Austria I hope one day we’ll run into each other at a marathon. Your such an Inspiration.
I love your videos I know I have said that so many times before and I will keep saying it lol love your realness it makes me feel calm and contented. Im a member of Headspace meditation I’ve been doing it for some years now it’s been so helpful for my mental wellbeing. Thanks Chelsea Enjoy your week 😊🌻
Thank you for this Chelsea. I am in fact having a hard time existing and I have that sink full of dishes among other things. I am in tears now because I feel seen and validated. I appreciate the way you show up authentically. Your videos brings me joy and comfort. Thank you!
Never heard you sounding so happy and contented, and also insightful into what you're doing, why you're doing it, and where you could take it...ideas all sound good to me. Don't underestimate how this will affect people who saw you when you maybe less contented, and the evidence your vlogs provide of how it's possible for folks to move forward and get to a better, happier place. Thank you.
I'm glad I found your channel! I love your vlogs and I don't mind at all a messy place (makes me feel more normal). I have 2 cats as well, but am almost twice your age. Love your hair at the end! Very nice! 🙌🏽

"My closet thrives in the fall"
I felt that in my soul.
literally how I feel about my closet!!
Mine thrives in summer seeing as I don't own enough clothes to keep warm in autumn/winter. Autumn/winter clothes are wayyy more expensive.
My favourite bit of summer is when it turns into Autumn. Im Scottish and the heat is not for me. Give me a cold, crisp, dry autumn day everyday.
@@Ruth78620 I’m of Scottish heritage and I can’t do the heat either! It’s in my DNA 🧬
"you're not messy, you're just busy..." One of my favorite lines from the film Frances Ha 😄
okay I LOVE this
Omg same 😂
Your haircut is super cute! BTW, I don't care if you have a messy apartment-it just makes you more relatable!
Seeing your "messy" apartment was very relatable to me. I am a messy person - not dirty, I'm pretty clean - but I am messy. I am also busy! My space doesn't need to be perfectly tidy for me, and it almost never is, and that's okay - it works for me. It was refreshing to see someone else who is like yep my space is messy. I also wanted to say you are such a good cat mom! I am a vet and all your kind comments about the vet and staff warms my heart and I am sure it warms their hearts too!
Happy friday! 💘Nice to see you back here. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
People attacking you for the state of your home is so upsetting to me - I’m sorry to hear that happens. I love seeing your place in its true form - it’s refreshing and REAL. Thank you for opening up the way you do and keeping it real with us. We appreciate you ❤

thank you stacey 💘
One of the very few lifestyle vloggers I still follow. My advise (for what it is worth…) just continue being authentic or as authentic as is possible
Not a comments person, but wanted to say that your hair looks incredible at that length! I've been wearing my hair short like that for since college and I love it. Also, you're doing amazing! You're one of the few creators I wholeheartedly enjoy because I find you relatable; I don't walk away feeling judged or comparing myself, you only encourage others to be themselves by modeling it through your own life.
Cat tummies are notoriously delicate but extremely resilient. You're doing great as a cat mom!
The shot of you in the kitchen as the kittens zoomed around was so cute. 🥰
My house is always a mess and I get down on myself about it, so seeing realistic other people also having reasonable amounts of mess makes me feel better, lol. I can't wait to watch the kitties grow but also I want them to stay little forever!
That haircut looks great on you, Chelsea! And it is very clear that your cats adore you, as much as you adore them - good job!
Hamburger bun as hot dog bun is some real ISH 😂😂 like top tier! And people need to let go of the "aesthetic" lifestyle that is polluting social media right now. Real life is having a lived in apartment because DUH you LIVE there. It's your space and you definitely don't need explain it to people. If they don't like they can keep it moving.

Oh! Get litterbox mats. They have two layers, the top is perforated. You surround the boxes with them so the cats step on them when they jump out. They collect litter from their feet so you can easily pour it back into their boxes. That and a litter genie (a smell containing trash/litter bin) and you will have 90% less hassle with litter, at least.
That's definitely the right move!
Wrap the poop in tinfoil...buy the sheets...and then there's like no smell 😊
@@ChelseaCallahan I highly agree with the litter mat & the litter genie but also stainless steel litter boxes are so great to help keep the odor down I got one for each of my kittens and the took to the immediately even with the edge being 6 inches high, I got them from Amazon for $35-39 a bit pricey but I won’t ever have to replace them like the plastic ones that hold the odor.
Perfect haircut length for a hot summer season. Nice vid again.
As a fellow cat mom of 2, welcome to a new level of fun and entertainment❤
Air conditioning is my favorite feel of the summer ❄️
Your home is your sanctuary! ❤. You get to keep it anyway YOU want! Never listen to anyone telling you that you are doing something wrong. You are the one that lives there and enjoy it any way you want. Love your kitties, your videos and you…just being you.
Hey Chelsea
I truly value your authentic videos and the messy life. I'm in the same boat and it's refreshing to put your videos on and clean up while you clean. You're an awesome person and thank you!
hey thank you ❤
I don’t comment often but one of the reasons I love your vlogs is because you are so vulnerable & your vlogs are so authentic. You don’t sugar coat things 🫶
As a pale girl recovering from a rowdy sunburn....you are doing a fantastic job! Low maintenace is still maintenance and caring for yourself. Taking time to take care of your mental and physical health is such a win 💚
forever going to use the term "rowdy sunburn" I love it haha.
I’m still recovering from an abusive ex boyfriend
Coming here to your channel and seeing you solo yolo and vibe your way through life helps me get perspective that I will be okay. 😅🎉
Those kitties love you, and that says a lot about you. Mark Twain quote: when a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade without further introduction. 😊
What I LOVE about you is how REAL you are. Those who have "perfect" homes are so fake, and quite cringy. And i love that you also love to journal. I've been journaling since I was a kid too! Now I'm in my late 30s, and have indeed kept all my journals. And my cats, especially my one cat. He brings me a lot of peace. Love your babies! We're all a little mad here anyway. 🤪💙
Chelsea, I love the new hairdo! Thanks for taking us to Coney Island, the Lower East side and letting us inside your “bubble,” for a little bit. Your fur babies are obviously thriving and giving you back all the love you are giving to them.❤❤❤
As a very very pale girl who is also low-maintenance and doesn't really care about tanning, but wants to get tan every once in awhile to build a bit of confidence..... *takes a deep breath in lol* LOVING TAN brand is the absolute best. It has something in it that gives you an olive undertone and is anti-orange. I get the 2-hour express in Medium or Dark, put it on before bed, sleep in it, and wash it off in the morning and it just gives you an olivy sun-kissed look without being too dark. GOOD LUCK! lol
OH THANK YOU SM! I truly needed a rec like this haha
I agree! Bondi Sands is also amazing! If you get a tanner with a green undertone, it neutralizes the orange! I am very fair and freckled and get compliments all the time on how natural it looks!
I’m 70 years old, and came across your channel recently. Totally enjoying it! Reminds me of my days in the late 70s in Austin Texas…. When Austin was so cool. It’s not now. But we are in New Orleans now, so new experiences even at 70…
Can wait to watch more of these!
Aww, the cat mama nerves ❤ The anxiety about leaving them does calm down eventually. You're such a great Mummy though!
Coney Island looks so fun, and your hair looks lovely.
Yay for tarot, too!
Somehow you’re glowing differently in this vlog. You seem very happy and grounded and in the right place. Love seeing you like this!
things i do for my mental health: journaling, therapy and lots of time in nature 🙏🏼
honestly, i needed that deep breath. thank you. and my favorite summer feeling is the night time summer air as it caresses your skin. god i love that feeling.
As far as mental health, spending time with friends, spending more time on beauty as I too am pretty low maintenance, deep breathing, and I i recently took a break from coffee to help me sleep.
Chelsea, you are a beautiful human! Thanks for taking us along on another adventure and for keeping your engagement pure and transparent. You’re a natural cat mom and it’s obvious how much your babies love you❤️
thank you so much ❤
thank you for sharing what life actually is with us. it somehow helps me not put too push pressure on myself when it comes to building the life I want and reminds me that sometimes things get messy in the process. And that's okay. That realistic view on life helps me not beat myself up when things don't go my way, but simply allow them to slowly unfold and trust the process. That's why I love watching your videos a lot. I do find some comfort and courage in your videos. Chelsea, thank you and keep up the good work. :D
❤❤❤
Gordo is getting so big, and Delilah is so beautiful! You're blessed ❤
Happy Friday, Chelsea! Looking forward to this episode, you’re on the upswing! 🙂
I just love how both of the kitties follow you around ❤ especially Gordo. They see you as their mama! Happy weekend from 🇫🇮
My dog is my happy place. Walking my dog is especially lovely. Early in the am with the birds chirping their first morning chirps. Heaven on earth.🙏🏼 Your hair is absolutely lovely!
I’m 37 and I live alone too with my cat and I LOVE my self care routines❤️🩷🩷
first time viewer. You were on my suggested page. I liked this! Its real, its vulnerable, its your life. I am allergic to cats but they are so cute!
You asked "what have you been doing to cope". I have been a daily meditator since 2017. For some reason I needed something for random anxiety. Its helped me tremendously. That and crystals. Yoga, Meditation and being "mindful" is really where its at as you approach your 40's. 20's were messy, and still figuring out who I "was", would never want to repeat. 30's I was like yah! I am comfortable and this is great. Then the 40's came.. (cue the jaws music). Its a different would as you approach (or get deeper into) perimenopause! So many new "things" to deal with. anyways, I look forward to binge watching more of you content! Thank you!
My favorite summer feeling is when it’s OVER! I live in Southern California in the high desert (elevation about 2,300 feet) and it is HOT 🥵 here!! It cools off some at night but the days are unbearable! So I always love when fall rolls around. It’s lovely! 😊
The bathroom cabinet door fanning face was epic!
Tan is an instant mood boost!
OMG avoid "a little life"!!!!!
This video is everything. The edit, the multi camera angles, you are excellent x
You're an absolute GEM! 🥹 Thank you!! Noted on 'a little life' hahaha
@@ChelseaCallahan I started telling my friend about it the other day and I started crying! I read it 3 years ago!
I'm a new subscriber from Mohuya's channel! I really appreciate how vulnerable and real you are (talking about anxiety, journaling, meditating, living alone, etc) and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content! It's nice finding people on youtube that I can relate to.
Hey!! Welcome :) thanks so much for your kind words!
Chelsea! Thank you for your content! Today and always! You do you, Girl, please! You hold your mic how you want, keep your home as tidy or untidy as you want, and do you! : ) I got the feels when you were sharing/asking about mental health, are we all struggling, how do we handle our mental health?! I journal too. I find it helps me purge what is on my mind ... good and not so good. : ) There is space on the page for it all. And, thank you for sharing your fur family ... they are amazing and a God-send, truly. 😍 And, I've had a Tarot card session or two in my life ... why not? : ) Again, thank you, Chelsea! See you next time. 🤩
so glad journaling helps you too!! see you next time
Their little noises 😭 so cute!
the chewing gets me every time 😭
I watch you Chelsea, because you are real! Love your kitties. I’m so glad Gordon is doing better! You are a great mom!❤😊
This is why I love your channel. I think asking what people do for their mental health is super important in this day and age. I think it’s cool that you’re getting into meditation and breath work. I recently have too. Please never stop discussing these topics and never stop showing your apartment when it’s messy. It’s about having integrity and being real.
You are so calming 🙏🏻 After a hectic few weeks, you are the tonic I need, thank you ❤️
my favorite summer feeling is sitting in the grass, the smell of the grill and eating cold watermelon
Yes girl, it is so nice to see a REAL life. It helps me to accept me more, so thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your day. It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one who has a sometimes (most of the time) messy home. Ignore the haters - it’s perfectly normal. I try to keep on top of it but sometimes it’s more important to focus on my wellbeing or get some sleep.
I’m lucky to live in a country that has universal healthcare - although it’s not completely free - so I feel for you having to worry about needing health insurance. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
I’m sometimes okay, yet often not so much. I try to find the joy in every day experiences. Love the haircut!
Journaling is SO GOOD for thought clarity! I don't journal much, but when I'm trying to make decisions or things are happening that I can't quite process, I journal. It gets my real feelings about stuff out and I can move forward. You're such a good cat Mama and it sounds like you have found some great vets.
Also, Gordo & Delilah are just THE cutest ever....... they seem to bring you lots of contentment, which is so good! : )
a little life as a beach read, I'm here for it 🤣🤣🤣
My first thought 😂
Hi! If the doctors don’t find anything, chances are that your cat might be sensitive to the protein you’re feeding him. My cats were allergic to chicken, and I had no idea in the beginning, and they had diarrhea. Couldn’t figure out why. Turns out they’re very sensitive to chicken and once I switched to turkey and fish they stopped having issues. Look at the ingredients and make sure it says limited ingredient on the label when you’re trying this out. I recommend Merrick or Weruva (fish). You’d be surprised how some cans will be labeled fish and still have chicken in it 😅
I have no affiliation with the company, but as a 30-year cat owner, Wellness Core grain-free kibble (we use indoor formula) made a HUGE difference. No issues with digestion, skin, teeth, etc. We previously spent an insane amount on vet bills and have had healthy cats for 6 years now.
My male cat had diarrhea for a while and it turned out to be a sensitivity to his food. Took a sample to my vet for testing and they found nothing wrong but he still kept doing it. Did some research on common ingredients in cat foods (phosphates, oils, gums such as guar gum, carrageenans, etc) and ended up going with Orijen wet food (they have a kitten formula 😊) and stopped feeding dry food cause it can be too much for them to digest. He took a while to start liking it but now he loves it and I haven’t had problems since! Little guy could just have a sensitivity to something in the food. Maybe if he doesn’t stop you could try a new food? It’s pricey, but cheaper than vet visits down the line! Best of luck and hope kitty is feeling better!
On another note: the haircut looks SO good!
The information about you journaling basically your whole life was 😮 soo surprising. I envy you! I wish I had that patience and had memories of all my life written down. Journalling is a great tool for mental health too ❤
Chelsea, your house is not messy, its perfect!!! So much growth from previous, which also was perfect)) when I look hoe you decorate your apparment I feel proud of you)) and going through depression myself at the moment, I want yo tell you: you coop with your life so great! Bless you, and a lot of kisses))) hello from Russia
“If something works, then I never replace it.” Me, too, @ChelseaCallahan! That saves me money and time, because, often I’ll hold on to things long enough that newer versions will come out. I never have to learn how they work.
Things go out of style before I never knew they were in! ❤
I get my day started with a heavy lifting workout followed by 30 minutes walking my dog. This truly sets my day up on a positive note and I feel accomplished from the start.
Please don’t let other people‘s negativity influence you. Your home is not dirty, it’s just a little messy sometimes and I love seeing it. Your channel has been so authentic and comforting and you show the real side of life. I can relate to you in many ways and it’s comforting to know that i am not alone with some struggles. As long as the state of your home isn’t a danger to you or your cats, it’s all good. Plus, you always got on top of it eventually. Do your thing. You have shown how capable you are of taking care of three lives. Your cats seem to be fully comfortable at your apartment and you do too. ❤
I really missed watching these kinda video of yours, loved it! I really look up to you, you've come a long way. I sometime go back to your 2022, 2023 videos too because it's just soo comforting, and the vlogmas coffee ritual was like a warm hug for me 🥰
Happy Friday Chelsea ! You're haircut looks great ! Don't worry about the criticism keep doing you ! To answer your question about how I take care of my mental health is that I journal, I read books, I workout at the gym, I hike, and I take myself out.
I commented you for presenting your life on your channel, it's like opening up yourself to everyone, good or bad comments from people you don't know. You are showing us a window into your daily life with all the pros an cons we experience in a metropolis like NYC. Some will relate to you as it's also a reflection of there life an can provide encouragement.
Anyway 👍❤
the babies are growing so fast!!! Always love these videos, they're so real. Typing this while there's a pile of dishes waiting for me too.
Hi Chelsea! so nice to see you ad the kitties thriving, they're so cute and they're growing so fast. The length of your hair suits you , it's perfect for your face and it's easy to maintain for sure. You look very pretty :)
Wishing you and the kitties a great weekend ahead! Greetings from Germany 🤍
Good evening, Chels! 🇸🇪❤️
Give the babies a boop from me! 🥰
Consider them booped!!
I’m so glad I found your channel! This brought me so much joy as I got ready today!! You’re living my dream. - a 35 year old mama of 3 who would love to be in NYC ❤
I love your haircut, it shows off your features very nice. And can I just say from what I see you are so much more relatable, at least to me, when you show real life as it is. It just makes me want to watch you more because my place looks like that too. People are always gonna find something to complain about. And for me the main reason I watch you is because I have never been to New York, obviously never lived there so everything that you show or do is all new and interesting to me. I come from a small town in SD so your videos are so much different than my life. I think you are doing great and always look forward to your videos.
Love this channel!! I deal with anxiety and (infrequent) depression. I find that mental health is really fluid. Prayer helps me a lot, but also learning how to set boundaries with unkind and pushy people. I am learning it is better to have an awkward moment of boundary setting than to let myself suffer indefinitely.
And the AUDACITY of people to criticize, but I liked your question of "Why is that triggering for you?"
Wish you and your little family all the best!
Fun vlog. Thanks for sharing. The sweet BB content is everything!! 💗💗 They are both so precious and It’s evident how much they both love you. Deli has settled in so well and is so comfortable and happy being with you and part of your family! I love it! Commenting on vlogs is way out of my comfort zone. I have silently watched vlogs for years now, but I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort/safe zone a little more and comment here and there.
A few things I do for my mental health are, trying to take walks and change up my scenery. This is not always easy as I have hyper mobility syndrome and so I always have joint pain and muscle aches as well as feeling exhausted quite often. This can send me into a pattern of depression and anxiety and it can be difficult to manage. I also like taking pictures of flowers, butterflies and other bugs.
It’s something that can really help me get out of my own head and I find it brings me joy to do. My cats help me EO much as well. They just provide so much love and affection as well as amusement with their curiosity and silliness. I love them to pieces! And my constant is music. Music has always been such an escape and so therapeutic for me. Sending Gordo and Deli lots of love from me and my four kitties 🙋🏻♀️😺😽😸😻
Love the new look.. you looked super cute with those sunglasses on.. and continue to keep it real.. that's what brought us here and that's why we are staying.. to watch you.. 😊 hug the kittens from me and have a wonderful weekend everyone
hey thank you :)
New subscriber here! I absolutely love your content! I also appreciate how you incorporate your sponsors into your videos. It's not overly obvious and flows well with your vlog. I'm looking forward to binging all your videos💕
Hey Chelsea, I haven't commented on a video ever but I just wanted to say thank you for showing the realistic side of living. I appreciate your honestly and genuineness that is comes through the video so clear. I watch some other vloggers, but I really appreciate the way that you just talk genuinely and from your heart. You feel like one of the realist vloggers on YT these days. Thanks for helping me break my perfectionists tendencies for keeping my house clean. (I'm one of the people that can't rest until the house is clean/organized, so you saying it is ok to leave the dishes in the sink is soooo refreshing). Thank again and tell Gordo and Deli is said hi!!
Hey! thank you so much ❤kitties say hi back!!
Love the video and being a cat person, seeing those sweet fur babies. Thank you for being realistic! ❤
I love how down to earth you are. I relate to you in so many ways! ❤
dont force your direction, it will come to you. you being you is interesting to me. my mental health is protected by my therapist and a couple vlogs, including yours. I walk my dogs first thing every morning and that really helps.
Love your new haircut. It looks so pretty on you. Your two kitties are just so much fun to watch. I even enjoyed watching you do the dishes. Very relaxing.
Oh my gosh, and I forgot to add, I love your Vlogs. I just found you randomly somehow one day and now I look forward to them. And then you really hooked me in when you got Gordo and Delilah. Lol 😂 I feel like you and I would be great friends. And I feel like your friends would be my friends, I just love the vibe
Definitely take your vet's advice. I'm not a vet but wanted to share my experience with a cat that had intermittent IBD. 100% pure canned pumpkin mixed in with food can sometimes help bind the poops. It's also helpful for the opposite with constipated poops. I always have a can on hand. Happy you enjoyed Coney Island - it's a fun beach to visit with lots to do! I'm obsessed with the original Love Island UK on Hulu. I didn't even realize there was a US version. Those cats sure hit the jackpot! Lastly, that haircut is everything on you!
Chelsea, I truly love your channel. Sometimes showing real life is too much for some people, but that’s the exact reason that I come to your channel. As a 29-year-old single girly who is also living alone, I find so much comfort in your videos. I get so happy when you upload and I love seeing your life. I live on the west coast and have never been to New York so I love experiencing it through your videos ❤
"EVERYONE SHUT UP" had me laughing so hard. 🙋♀️ same 😂 I love your content and how realistic it is. This is why I watch RUclips. You're doing a fantastic job 🎉.
Always a great start for the weekend when you upload a video. Thank you so so much❤️Whoop whoop🎉🥰🥳 Cheers from🇩🇪
Oh my gosh, girl, I just came here to say that I love Cordo and Delilah, and I love that your room is a messy disaster. my mental health is completely effed up, and my bedroom is a beautiful disaster. I’m older than you, and I’m glad that you’re figuring out not to give two shits about what people think. I’m 52, and I’ve reached that point in my life for I do not care, I wish I would’ve figured that out in my 30s the last 20 years would’ve been a little easier 😂❤❤❤❤
Chels you are doing great.
I love you showing your realistic vlogs. Please don’t ever change.
Greetings from Austria
I hope one day we’ll run into each other at a marathon. Your such an Inspiration.
I love your videos I know I have said that so many times before and I will keep saying it lol love your realness it makes me feel calm and contented. Im a member of Headspace meditation I’ve been doing it for some years now it’s been so helpful for my mental wellbeing. Thanks Chelsea Enjoy your week 😊🌻
I really love the short hair on you! 🤍
thank you!!
YES! I'm from minnesota and love caribou, specifically the caribou blend. It always hits
AGREED!!!
Thank you for this Chelsea. I am in fact having a hard time existing and I have that sink full of dishes among other things. I am in tears now because I feel seen and validated. I appreciate the way you show up authentically. Your videos brings me joy and comfort. Thank you!
so glad i came across your channel its so refreshing love this type of content honestly
Never heard you sounding so happy and contented, and also insightful into what you're doing, why you're doing it, and where you could take it...ideas all sound good to me. Don't underestimate how this will affect people who saw you when you maybe less contented, and the evidence your vlogs provide of how it's possible for folks to move forward and get to a better, happier place. Thank you.
OMG LOVE THE HAIR!
I'm glad I found your channel! I love your vlogs and I don't mind at all a messy place (makes me feel more normal). I have 2 cats as well, but am almost twice your age. Love your hair at the end! Very nice! 🙌🏽
