Do you use your dishwasher or use it as storage? Let us know in the comments below :)
Refinery29 storage I hand wash and they dry in the dishwasher
By the way I collect body shop lip balms ( a bit weird )
Lol I’m Asian too and my grandma has just recently started using it for cleaning 😂
Refinery29 you guys need to link her books! I’d like the purchase one
I use my dishwasher all the time. It's great but pre-washing dishes before they go in the dishwasher is dumb. It's not 1980. Unless you plan on letting your dishes sit in there for a month, modern dishwashers are capable of handling visible grease and food residue.
I thought this said that she paid 300k a month and my soul left my body.
Sammme
Lol same
Lol, no one on earth could afford that
me too
Maimuna May 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the way her husband looks at her when she talks is so sweet
+baohannguyen Agreed!
I was literally just thinking that
hahahah i was thinking the same and i thought i was the only one who noticed
IKR!!
I was going to say the same thing... Love! You can see it in his eyes.
The husband is so adorable. Love the way he just looks at her with so much love in his eyes
I want someone to look at me the way he looked at her whenever she talks
Khansa Irsalina omg yes !!! I saw that too
Khansa Irsalina right? Ugh so cute
I noticed too, but I am so glad my fiance does not look at me like that.
+khansairsalina Same!
why would I care
He looks at her like she is everything to him. Wowww.
Aww the way he looks at her 😭😭
Loved the video! But most of all the way he looked at her 😍😍😍
1Javichr I know! 😢😭😭😭
1javichr Same!!
When you have someone look that way at you, you feel like a million bucks and just reminded me of my boyfriend and the way he looks at me
By far the most interesting people in this series thus far!! I really loved that they used their D&D characters as wedding cake toppers! So cute!!
Super cute couple!! I have an apartment in NYC! I love it!!! Not done decorating yet but when I’m done I would love to be on this show
+kluermoi You can submit your home to sweetdigs@refinery29.com !
@refinery29 I would LOVE to see @kluermoi place!!
Is that you ? You’re gorgeous
@@refinery29 do one have to live in NYC? My husband and I live in Chicago❤
@@artetface nope, I'm sure they have Chicago/other cities featured as well!
Also I’ve noticed that most of these people who do these videos have tons of books. Makes me wanna read more books so i can be successful and live in an expensive ass apartment.
TheSplendidChild 😃😂😂true
TheSplendidChild $300k is incredibly affordable for NYC. It’s definitely not expensive in NYC.
TheSplendidChild I mean, pick up a book from time to time. It’s my favorite past-time
TheSplendidChild I think you are on to something. I read on an average a book a day and we live in a definitely expensive apartment in Singapore and will be moving into an even more(but conversely smaller) expensive house for which we will be paying mortgage till we die....it's all me, my husband doesn't read a thing, so lucky him I Guess 🤔

geek couple goals
I love the way he looks at her, can tell they love one another cutest thing ever!!
Loved this episode. Also, as the daughter of Mexican immigrants, I am a thirty one year old woman who has never used a dishwasher. I've always used one as storage. My mom used to say the same thing that you did in the video, "why do I have to pre-wash a dish, it doesn't make sense". I would like to learn how to use one if I ever get one again. Lol
I keep all my empty containers for future use in the dishwasher !!! Having part Mexican parents, I use butter tubs to store leftovers!!!
Jeannette Franco I also daughter of immigrants never used the dishwasher. Until one day just for my crystal glasses I wash them by hand then throw them in for the sparkles lol
I moved to the US as a small child nearly 40 years ago and I still wash my dishes by hand. There's something cathartic about the warm sudsy water. My dishwasher gets used only after dinner parties ... so like once a year ;)
I think it depends on the dishwasher. The dishwasher at my family's home doesn't need any pre-washing, it cleans the dishes pretty well even if the dishes sat in there for 2 days and some food stains might have dried.
Same. I dont get it why use a dishwasher when you can wash it manually with hand.
Love refinery 29 better then buzzfeed
Sarah Ca 💯
Sarah Ca same!
I love how he looks at her when she's talking and smiles. It doesn't feel like she's speaking for him or he's being shut up, it looks like he really loves her and she's saying all things he agrees with. I hope they last a lifetime. ❤
Jesus, N.Y is expensive
Niff that's actually a great deal. Studios are going for 400k and up in certain areas
Hazeleyedruby only if she owns it, however you can find a one bedroom and not a studio for 200k on the upper east side.
Alexa Lamantea she said she owns. 200k to rent?
Hazeleyedruby oh god no haha I meant to own. To rent can range from 1500-2,000 depending on how big the space is
I really wonder why the maintenance is $1000 per month? That seems crazy to me.
this is one of my favorite series on youtube!!
Renee so happy to hear that!!!
Mine too
All their “nerdy” decorations make me so so happy. Heck, I hung hand painted converse on my wall and put dead flowers in it, and below it are my funko pops, Tim Burton merchandise, and animation supplies
Awkwar d I'm with u with the dead flowers
Awkwar d no.
Funko pops are da best and cutest
Lol I totally relate to the dishwasher thing my African mom never uses it. My friend didn't believe me until she saw the blue plastic still on when she came over 😂
Mously Dowdow Same, I'm nigerian and we never used the one in our apartment. I still don't know how to use one
Same here and I’m Guyanese.
Cameroonian. Same.
+mouslydowdow LOL!!
Nigerian here. My dad is constantly breaking that poor dishwasher by literally throwing things inside without arranging them. Also, never pre-scrapping food. I live on my own now and only my roommate uses our dishwasher. I never touch it.
I grew up with African immigrant parents. We only use dishwasher when we have large events when all the dishes in the house were used at once...once or twice a year
Idk whether it's your parents or grandparents but that black and white photo is a real treasure ♡♡
My grandparents. And thank you, it's one of the most meaningful things I own.
What an adorable couple! The husband is the sweetest..the way he looks at her like a treasure..btw I love the ship!!!
Your chemistry is impeccable
The way he looks at her 😍 They're adorable and so is their space. It's kinda modern, kinda cozy/cluttery, and very much reflective of them from the vibes they give off
They’re so freaking cute and nerdy! I love it!
It's so cute how her husband looks at.. all lovingly
Lol I love this family!!! They even brought up Firefly!!!
Such an adorable couple and quaint space! I love that you guys collect “weird things.” Makes me less embarrassed about my collection of mugs.
Such a lovely couple 💕 love this episode👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
They're so cute omg
This is my favourite series. And I think that this was my favourite episode of the series
Literally the most likeable couple and Apartment in the whole series. That troll is so cute! I think you'd be noticing something different each time you went round for tea, so many quirky and interesting pieces. Also the books.........♥️♥️♥️
Gah that projector is brilliant.
He is enamored by her when she talks how adorable! Cute couple
Forgot the focus was supposed to be the apartment and not the super cute couple, love their dynamic ((and their apartment!))
Loved this episode and couple!!! Btw, I’ve never used my dish washer either lol! I store my clean dishes in there.
+melindadh Thanks for sharing!!
Every episode is so good for so many reasons. Their love story makes their home even more special. And I’m the same way with my dishwasher.
Thanks, Julie.... You are the first person that agrees with me on why anyone should use a dishwasher when you have to pre-wash them anyways!!!!
Her husband is SO enamoured with her it’s so adorable 😭❤️
$1800/mo in downtown Brooklyn is a steal tbh. I’d definitely live in this place!! (alone though)
Their wedding cake toppers were D&D characters I am LIVING for this geeky nerdy quirky couple 😭❤️
LOVE THE FREAKING COUPLE. #GOALS
Assuming you have a decent dishwasher, you do not need to pre-wash dishes. Just scrape off the food and put the dish in the dishwasher. Dish detergent is made to cling to the gunk on the dishes and wash it away. Once I got a decent dishwasher it sped up my kitchen clean-up and actually reduced my water bill.
Dishwashers are the best! There's a huge difference between scraping or even rinsing the dishes quickly before loading. It's not at all like full on scrubbing them.
Ikr. People go cheap and get cheap results. They arent even expensive and will last years and save time. You wont have a depressing evening either
That thing about the dishwasher is so relatable. My Puerto-Rican great-grandma uses hers as food storage and to hold all of her disposable plates and napkins. ;)
Adorkable couple with a cool and eclectic apartment! I'm a nerd so I love all the games, books and knickknacks.
+dawnallsun Same!
Also, the way he looks at her😭😭so much love wow.
My mom always told me to follow my true passion.... so I'm in medical school! However, I also want to live in a big city one day... even if its temporary! I went to NYC during Christmas (made a video about it!), and instantly fell in love with the city! Too expensive though 😭😭
Kishan ikr? New York is my DREAM location
If it's your dream then do it! I believe in you!
Thank you both!!! Much appreciated!
+Kishan we believe you!!
Awkwar d your going to love it here
Thanks again, great series, I love seeing different living spaces in NYC!
I love this WHOLE show, it’s so interesting!
Wow! It's quite rare to find a man that looks at you that way. What an aspiration! 😍 It makes a space cozier.
She has a pre-release copy of Providence by Caroline Kepnes on her bookshelf. WANT!
By far my favorite Sweet Digs vid! Love the geeking out! Career and homebuying goals!
Awwww they are sweet
You two are the sweetest couple I have seen in a long long time. Love the geeky decor. Your home clearly reflects your love. God bless you.
Great couple, beautiful house can relate to the dishwasher. Lool when she praised him for the sound system, exactly my brother's face when literally opens Microsoft for me.
This is the best episode in this series by far! I love this couple so much ❤️
+lanadel'sbae Us, too!!
I could never live in such a tiny apartment i need tons of storage space It’s amazing how people live like this
This ia definitely one of my faves. Not only is the space really quirky, nerdy and really cool, but they were just fun to watch. Her sense of humor ➕ the way he looks at her 💖
everything about this video is beyond cute, the couple, the house, the decoration and the ideas behind it and the fact they both brought their interests and souls to it
These people are so awesome!!!!
What a sweet couple. When they’re ready to leave the city they’ll for sure get their money back and then some.
Love this episode, think it is sweet how the couple is constantly building each other up, instead of making snarky remarks/tearing each other down that has been seen in a few episodes featuring couples.
This is my favorite Sweet Digs ever. It's so refreshingly authentic and offbeat! And they are so clearly in love.
They’re such a cute couple!
Wow they are so in love, it makes me happy!!!
Best sweet digs I’ve watched so far!💕💕💕
This has to be one of my favorite Sweet Digs. You guys are an awesome couple. Have a wonderful life together. Great home. 👍🏾👌🏾
They're so cute awe
Studio ghibli! Books! And sci fi nerds yay! This is a great nice apartment. Very cozy yet nerdy 🤓
All the books make it look so beautiful! Love it
Great tour, loved your eclectic style of decorating! The mini-window in the loft is a ++ IMO. Thanks!
This is the best one. Cute apartment, cute couple.
To have the problem of having duplicates of the things you love? That's real goals right there
i love how happy they are together
They are an adorable couple! The way he looks at her when she talks
What a lovely apartment! Perfect couple
Oh my god they’re so freaking cute! And so is their apartment lol
Aww, these two are so wholesome. So much love between them! Also, girl I feel you on loving tall nerdy guys- they are the best! Lol
Awww they love each other so much.
Wow very affordable and such a beautiful place 👌🏻👌🏻
I think Im in love with them??
Loved this one! Well, the decorating at least. They're both so adorable, and I love the knick knacks, and interesting collectibles they have; and I love the ship as well! It actually goes great with the aesthetic of the apartment, and of course the darker, hardwood floors.
Love this series! Keep 'em coming!!!!!
What sweet couple and very cool apartment
I Really Like the Ship; it brings Classic to The Comtemporary. Plus it adds Romance and Maculinity.
love this series and the fact that this video has subtitles!!!
They’re so adorable, and their apartment is amazing!
They pay $1000 for maintenance a month? Is that just for people to clean the halls and the doorman? Because that seems a lot
Ayeshia Khan maybe it includes taxes and yea almost condos is $800-1k
It goes towards building maintenance. Plumbing, roof repairs, etc. Since they live in a co-op they essentially own a big house collectively with other people in the building.
Indeed, the maintenance covers our property taxes because it's a co-op.
Ayeshia Khan Ya I thought $1000 seemed like a lot also. Don’t know if it’s the same as condo fees?
If their apt was paid off , they would only be paying 1,000 a month
I love this series and this one if my favorite. This couple is #goals.
I've given that same rant about dishwashers! Love her / them!
Couple is super cute and I love their home. As a nerdy girl myself it's the most realistic one I've seen so far 😀
This video made my ocd go crazy
So cute!
They are so cute and their space is so perfect!
What an adorable couple.
This is such a cool apartment and they are such a lovely couple. Also, can I just mention their spirited away posters! Those posters are so cool! But than again everything in the apartment is (except for mr. troll, sorry).
They're by an artist named Danny Haas, you can check him out here: www.artofdanny.com/store/
Ah thank you so much! I will definitelly check him out! =)
I saw that too
JULIE YOU ARE SO COOL!
I very much enjoyed this episode! Thanks!
The sweetest couple, love their digs, she is a real charmer, he' s a real looker too.
