You just made a video missing a damn tooth and in your parents basement… like…. Old kalel would NEVER. Life is wild and takes us to some weird places and it’s amazing to see you smiling and still sharing your life with us. I found your first videos (queenbeeuty days) when I was 20 years old and GOING THROUGH IT with my depression and agoraphobia and your videos made me feel less alone. I’ve always kept up with your videos and followed you all these years and whenever you make a video it just feels like an old friend is catching up with me. I wish you all the best!

      Right! She is being 100% real. I'll be honest I dont think I could be that real in front of an audience. She had so much before. Her beautiful home with Anthony. They were millionaires. She could of had that life. Even her past few apartments and decor was pricey. And now to see her in her parents basement and straight up owning it is so vulnerable. We all need to get humble to build ourselves up. Definitely like catching up with an old friend. Also makes me appreciate what I have cuz it could all change.

I went to design school twice and it was an amazing platform for exploring ideas and getting comfortable working with clients. It also activated a career networking in the area and built credibility. Some design disciplines required degrees to get certified or licensed (not all but some). If she doesn't go back to school, I hope Kalel has the confidence to try out a career in design. She thinks exactly like a designer in my opinion!

Thank you so much for this video Kalel. As someone who's been living in a foreign country for the past couple years, the frustration of language barriers has slowly become smaller as I've increased my fluency. However, seeing you slowly but persistently acquire Korean while not even living in Korea is just...so inspiring. I really hope you can go to Korea another day when it's good to do so. All the best to you and God bless you

I feel like you’ve grown so much and I honestly think this is the happiest I’ve ever seen you. This video seems so real and genuine, like you’re being your real self. It doesn’t feel forced or uneasy like I feel a lot of your videos were in the past. I always felt you being in Cali was what was making you so unhappy and almost isolated from the world. I wish you nothing but the absolute best and can’t wait to see more videos! You’re absolutely thriving and I’m glad you’re back! 💛

      @@KalelSumisu hi! Having followed yr journey for years I'm not surprised by the interior magic you perform in each of yr properties! You have serious talent ❤ I agree with others that you should start an interior account, or content on IG and TTok, especially as IG are really pushing Reels and IGTV at the moment. Side-note re mental health - please invest in a SAD lamp, SAD lamps simulate sunlight, which helps trigger the brain to release serotonin. Normally used in the darker seasons when you are not getting as much natural sunlight which can lead to depression, but for those in apartments without windows, or like myself who are often confined to bed it is an all year essential. Also 'up' your vitamin D dose too. I really advise both, especially as you have been affected by depression so deeply. Your lamp will help yr furbabies too 🐱🌞☀️🐱 Last tip - have a look at camper van life/conversion vids on RUclips there are some really beautiful and creative minimalist makeovers that could give you ideas for a sink and running water. Looking forward to yr makeup vids again! 😍😘🥰xxx

    If you want to cover up the box spring you could buy a fitted sheet and put it on the box spring. Ive always had my bed on the floor (on a box spring) and thats the way i do its a suuuuuper easy fix and looks pretty modern.
    I actually never even meant to do it to cover the box spring but i did it because when i had a bed that was on a metal frame i had kittens and they would climb up into the box spring and tear the bottom of it. So i put the fitted sheet upside down on it to cover the bottom. But now that my bed is on the floor (incidentally also to keep the cats from going under my bed 😂) i keep the fitted sheet on it and it makes it look much better and its super cheap to just buy whatever color fitted sheet you want!
    Also, im so wowed at how amazing your basement looks. I have an unfinished basement and its seriously an overwhelming thing to just see all the framing and concrete and to even figure out where to start! Though i suppose necessity is the mother of invention haha and if you wanted a place to live then you gotta do what you do and damn girl you really DID THAT!

    KALEL! I’ve been watching you since I was barely in high school. Around the same time I began to experience my first troubles with mental health you began to share your mental health journey. I found it so comforting knowing someone who I looked up to and felt had everything I wish I had in the moment, was also going through the similar experiences internally. I now find myself 24, moving back in with my mom for very similar reasons and here you are again: providing comfort. Thank you for your vulnerability 🤍 keep shining your light
