Hello my dears!🤗❤️ Happy 1st day of September. I couldn’t believe in just a few months we will soon celebrate Christmas and eventually New Year. Time passes by so quickly. Anyhow, I wish everyone a great day! Take care 💕
Happy September. Watching your videos always makes me nostalgic. My family spent several years in Japan when I was a child (we lived on Okinawa) and I love the culture, the food, the calmness and order that the Japanese lifestyle brings. Harmony is a gift and I am so happy to see you finding that now Lou ❤ Cheers to a beautiful fall season!
Just came to say the same thing. I got rid of my front loader because I was battling the humidity in Louisiana and the smell. I now have a top loader and I can leave the top open to help combat the humidity. I dry the washer as soon as I'm done with laundry and leave the top up.
Also wipe the inside of the lid and the rubber seal around the lid after every single use. I had to do this to mine, just putting a cleaner in the washer won't take care of the problem completely. And like some one else mentioned, leave the door open
PS:As for the washing machine, just leave the porthole always open and the detergent drawer too. By taking in air, the washing machine not only dries on the inside as well, but neither clothes nor washing machine will stink. I have been doing this for more than 30 years, and have never had this problem 😘 Your Friend from Germany 🫶🏻🍀
I found your videos today on RUclips. And I can't thank my stars enough for gifting your videos to me.. I watched one video and I got mesmerised.. subscribed your channel ❤. And from now on I will be watching all your videos.. love from india 🇮🇳...
Hi from the Netherlands, Lou :) I love your videos thank you for another one! I saw that you’re mixing baking soda and vinegar for cleaning, although a lot of people do that its actually not a good mixture for cleaning, because the two cancel each other out (acid / base). The fizziness is just carbon dioxide and it doesn’t do anything for cleaning. For cleaning the bathroom, vinegar and dishwashing soap is a better mix :) then the acid removes the water residues, and the soap removes grease. Hope this helps 😊
@@LouCslife Hi from someone else from the Netherlands :) The above is correct! And since you seem to appreciate these type of tips I thought I'd share another one. Pipe cleaners usually contain rather harsh chemicals that are bad for aquatric life, and also for your pipes. Instead, you can use baking soda and vinegar. Just sprinkle baking soda in the drain, add hot water to let it run through a bit further down the pipes, and then add vinegar. The fizziness mechanically helps to clean and unblock the pipes! This works on all pipes, not only kitchen sink but also shower drain etc. If the pipes are really blocked you may need to repeat, and/or apply this method on all the sinks and drains throughout the house. Hope this helps!
@Little_Ray_Of_Sunshine Yes! I agree the fizz and bubbling helps loosen the gunk in the pipes. Hot water first, then the baking soda, then vinegar, let set fot 15 minutes, flush with hot water then cold water to help the bubbled-off gunk to solidify away from pipe walls and go tumbling down the drain! Each month doing this in bath, sinks will help your home smell nice and reduce chances of logging! You are doing great, Lou!
She using sodium PER carbonate, not BI carbonate. Two different chemicals. PER CARBONATE releases peroxide, a fairly gentle bleach. Oxy clean also uses sodium percarbonate to clean, bleach, and disinfect, her goal.
Hi! I didn't know which way to send a message, but I got your snack box today! I had no idea it required signature so I had to go pick it up from the post office. However, I was excited and had a chance to share some of the apple pie kit Kats with my mail carrier (!) We have never seen anything like it before! I also used Google lens to translate the ramen cups and my husband and I kept snatching cups, claiming them before the other could! It's like we were children 😂 Your handwritten note was so so cute (and frankly getting that was the main reason I ordered!) I hung it up in my studio! I just want to say thank you again! Your video with cleaning the laundry machine sent me down a rabbit hole of researching and cleaning my own dryer. Then I reorganized my entire laundry room! All because of you! My husband says thank you 😂
Hi, Ms. Eliza I sincerely appreciate your order. I'm happy everything arrived safely. Very much hoping you liked it 🤗💕. Also, if you have a free time please consider writing a review of your purchases on my website.🙏 Thank you so much🙇♀️
I must say, my wife and I have been watching your videos for about 2 years and we really enjoy them. There is something relaxing about watching you go about your daily chores we both enjoy. It is so good that you have found someone you care for and we are so happy for you. You are a very attractive young lady and have a good spirit. You deserve the best of life. All of the very best to you and your significant other, God Bless and have a GREAT life.
I never got the hang of keeping my front loader washing machine clean. I cleaned inside that rubber gasket. I used cleaner to run through. I ALWAYS left the door cracked open when not in use, and STILL, I always had problems with the washer and eventually the clothes smelling sour. I finally gave up and went back to a top loader machine. I personally do better keeping them clean and like the way they wash the clothes. Thanks for the video! You seem much more comfortable, much more calm, happier and complete, since entering into your serious relationship with your boyfriend, and got away from the old toxic work situation you had before. The fact that you were just friends for a while before the relationship was a great thing. Take care and enjoy your life!
I now have a stacked washer and dryer and I actually leave the washer and dryer doors open. When I lived with my sister I use to leave the front loader door wide open till it dryed out.
I pour vinegar and baking soda down my kitchen drains once a month to clean out any grease that might get in there. Its amazing how it foams up and it smells so good after too.
Hi Lou, Even though I've had a front loader for decades & try to leave the door open at least 5 inches all the time to insure constant air movement, I have unknowingly knocked the door closed a few time, which did cause that horrible moldy smell. Hopefully, your cleaning solution has already worked well on the mold by the time you see this. However, if it hasn't, I take a store bought spray bleach cleaner, put the setting on mist, & spray all over the metal drum. The mist allows the bleach to get through the holes in the drum to any mold still alive behind it. I, then, fully close the door & let the machine sit for a day or so. You can run a load of white items, as you normally would, & then check for any bad odor when done. If there is no bad smell, just leave the door open from then on. If you notice the smell coming back, mist the drum again, closing the door fully, & letting the machine sit for another day or so. It may take a couple/few times to get rid of it all, but this process works. My machine is probably over 30 years old & still running nicely. I always enjoy your peaceful demeanor & love watching you cook. I've gained a lot of confidence in cooking my own Asian style dishes at home thanks to watching how you prepare your meals.
To keep your washing machine clean, try to run a program at high temperature (90°C) from time to time with e.g. kitchen towels, dish cloths etc. using powder. Your machine will smell fresh again. Watch out with vinegar, apparently it could damage the door gasket. And yes, always leave the door open or ajar when not in use and keep the detergent tray clean.
Lou I think your kitchen faucet does pull out. there is a break on the arm that goes over the sick. there looks like something you might need to push on the end just above where the water comes out. if it didn't have a sprayer it would have 1 solid piece that comes into the sink. yours is two pieces. Lou you are so organized . I love it. you give me ideas. 🤩 Lou I bought a thingy magnet that you put on the washer and it holds the washer door open so it airs out. at first I put a towel over the door to keep it open and that didn't work. I got mine from Amazon, Lou my husband is a retired plumber, never put drain cleaner down your pipes. if you do. and you still get a clog or it ends up being a hole in the pipe from pouring chemicals down your drain. and a Plumber needs to be called to clean the lines. the chemical's your pouring down the drain will burn the Plumber! #2 it can and will burn holes in the pipes. Now days pipes are only plastic like NOT Copper any more. Just make sure no food goes down your sink drain. OH Lou the view where you we're eating is so wonderful. I don't know if I could stopping watching the view. maybe your b/f can ask for time off ahead of time. and you can call ahead and make a reservation. Thank you Lou for sharing with us.
I find it helpful to leave the laundry door open a little bit. And whenever I’m done washing the clothes, I always clean the rim of the laundry to prevent mold and bacteria. That’s the issue for front loaders. You always have to clean the rim. As top loaders, just leave the lid open
hey Lou if your laundry keeps smelling and your washing machine I also sometimes use cleaning vinegar you can just put it in the soap dish with or without clothes. lovly great from frisian in the nederland
Hello Lou C love your vlogs your videos keeps me feeling relaxed and peaceful I just love them so take care of yourself stay healthy and safe Happy September 1st 🥰❤️😘
I always leave the washer open after using it so it can air dry and it helps prevent mold. So far we've had no issues. We wipe the dryer filter every time before we use the dryer, we got it pre-owned and the filter warpedbfrom the heat so it was loose and let a LOT of lint through, we had to pull the dryer away from the wall and get into it to get it all out. Now we have a new lint trap in it. Anyway, I was looking forward to your video after a long day at work and a gym session. Keep doing what you do ❤ PS: there's also fleece dusters for the Swiffer handles so you don't have to buy the disposable ones all the time. You can just wash them in your washer 😊 I'm buying some soon
Hi Lou, it would help your washing machine to use powder detergent rather than liquid, liquid residue builds up and make your machine and clothes smell! Hope this helps. Xx
Sweet Lou, you're life is not ordinary because YOU are not ordinary!!! YOU ARE AN EXCEPTIONAL, SWEET & BEAUTIFUL LADY!!! Plus very hardworking, you are amazing, honeybun!! Stay safe, stay healthy! Lots of love and warm hugs from an old (rebel) Pinkie BTW: I always use a glass cuttingboard!!! Like that much better than the wooden ones ;-)
My advice, the washing machine needs a deep clean once a month. Just on a very hot wash with nothing added. And like someone said leave the doors open a bit
Dear Lou C That black tube on the bottom of your washer where the filter is that you removed earlier, there is a little black knob that you pull out of that tube and you’re supposed to drain that tube. Put a bowl under there to catch the water. You will find a lot of yuckiness comes out of that little black tube at the bottom of your washer , I drain mine and clean out that filter once a month. That is a lot of your culprit of the smell.
I wouldn't think I would enjoy watching someone clean their house but apparently I do. I guess I just love watching your videos no matter what you're doing. 😁 Thank you for being here! ❤
Simply put vinegar in the washing machine and let it run empty at 60 or 95 degrees. Vinegar is the best descaler and the best disinfectant. I add vinegar to every wash.
Yes, running a regular cycle (try to do this monthly) using only vinegar will clean your front loader nicely. Vinegar is also a wonderful fabric softener in laundry. Adding vinegar to every wash not only clean the machine, it also makes your clothes soft and smelling clean and fresh. You may also consider switching to a powdered detergent. I learned recently that the ingredients in liquid detergent leaves a sticky residue that promote bacteria and mold growth, esp. in front loaders. I’ve since stopped using liquid detergent and switched to powder laundry soap and add vinegar with every wash; no more moldy smelling clothes. And no more mold/slime build up along the rubber lining in my front loader.
Another great video - why is it so relaxing to watch others clean? You certainly deserved that spa trip after your cleaning day! Take care and stay well! Blessings from Georgia, USA! 🥰❤
Dearest Lou C..have been following you for a number of years now and appreciate how you share your everyday life.....also looked up and found some great songs/tracks you use in your videos ..Thank you for this❤
Hi Lou! You are sooooo productive! I watch your content and think I wish I was so productive as you (and I am typing this while procrastinating doing the dishes!😂). Your soup looked wonderful! I have a new puppy too who is only about 13 weeks old so I am enjoying that cuteness. lol! I can’t believe it’s already September!!! The 4th would have been my mom’s 87th birthday. Miss her so much! Still, the memories are good!❤ Take care and I look forward to your next video!
I love your videos! You’re so clean and organized ❤️ Becareful what cleaning products you mix together. Never mix ammonia and bleach! It creates a poisonous gas that will kill you. Take care❤️🙏🥰
Line the little broiler pan with aluminum foil to help keep it clean. We always leave the washing machine lid open after using it to let it dry out. The foot bath looks wonderful!
Привет, Lou, дорогая!!! 😘 Очень приятно видеть твои видео!!!🎉 В череде тревог, забот и грусти, приятно посмотреть твои видео, потому что они дарят безмятежность, спокойствие души и мотивацию!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Я очень горжусь тобой, какая ты умная, сильная, целеустремленная и трудолюбивая девушка!!! ❤️ Ты тоже должна себя любить и гордиться собой, во-первых просто так, а во-вторых, потому что есть за что!!!☝️ Еще мне понравилась надпись на футболке, очень правильная!
Hola Lou. Podrías probar de dejar la puerta de la lavadora abierta, y que se seque bien la goma de la lavadora para que no crezcan las bacterias. A mí me va bien. Y secar la goma con una bayeta seca.🤗😊
Too bad. That's part of her life. It's also what her first vlogs were about too cooking and cleaning and occasionally visiting places. She's honoring her BF by not showing him and that's her right. Also she can't film at work, so what else should she do? Run up debt, by going all over? Complainer
People asking where is the boyfriend and why doesn't he help....this is her channel and if she doesn't want to show him or he doesn't want to be in her videos she doesn't have to.
People don't realize that Lou said in the beginning with her boyfriend that he does not want to be on camera, and she honors that. How does anyone watching know how much he helps or not. If it's not shown. Nobody really knows. He works very long hours as well. Lou seems happy and that's all that matters.
Hallo Lou.. Wenn man die Waschmaschine nur immer mit dem "Sparprogramm" benutzt..dann fängt die Maschine mit der Zeit an zu stinken.Und dann die Kleidung und dann der ganze Kleiderschrank. Diese Erfahrung habe ich gemacht. Also so oft wie möglich mit dem normalen Programm waschen. Und die Waschmaschine 1x im Monat auf der höchsten Gradzahl 95 Grad leer und mit Maschinenreiniger laufen lassen . Viel Glück und Liebe Grüße aus Heidelberg/Germany 😊🌹
During my past business trips to Tokyo I usually stayed at the Dome City Hotel, then went with a friend of mine to the La Qua public baths in Dome City. She had recommended this place to me and it was fantastic. We would do the sauna and then the bath at the bathing station, then the whirlpool and salt baths, then the relaxation room which is v-e-r-y relaxing. Really miss going to Japan, maybe next year I can squeeze in a trip (now retired).
Hello sweet Lou! 💛💛. so happy to see a video from you today, I missed you last week. All of my favorites in this video… Cleaning, assembling stuff to use in your apartment, cooking and even a little outing. Our summer lasts a bit longer here in northern California… The temperatures will drop a little bit in September but we won’t really start fall until the beginning of October. It was a lovely summer and it sure did pass quickly! Hope you’re feeling well… Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you as always. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💛💛
Adding a bit of vinegar to each washing load for a while, and every now and then afterwards, will keep your washing machine ánd laundry fresh (and no, you don't smell the vinegar in your laundry ;))
Hey there, always leave the door and the drawer open. So the inside can dry out and you don't have to worry about mould. And every 4 weeks do an empty load on the highest temperature with just a cup of vinegar. It will do the job and cause less chemicals. May you link the recipe for the chicken soup?
Hi Lou, nice calming vlog. You got inspired to clean. My Grandma was a good house cleaner. In retirement she would clean other ppls home who were unable to do it. The creamy chicken soup looks delicious 😋. Beautiful lights at night from the buildings and pool too. Lovely flowers at the beginning of the vlog. Have a good week 😊Joan 🎉
So many different types of cleaning products and cleaning gadgets. You could have your own cleaning business because you are very thorough! Ppl would pay good money for that service. Keep up the good work in your carefree happy life! 😊😊😊
Hi Lou great to hear from you again. Looking forward to Xmas and new year soon. Wishing you a smooth journey toward the end of the year. Stay safe and take care as Japan is down with bad weather over many areas. May God bless you and your boyfriend always. ❤
I have a question and it may be odd but i have been curious for some time about the little thing that looks like a tiny computer with 6 keys, what is it? Its adorable. I keep forgetting to ask about it. You have such cool stuff. You could also sell some of the nifty gagets from daiso in your boxes or even other ramen that isn't just the cup noodles. Hi from Arkansas in the US.
Another laundry machine tip. I have it from the company who repaires my washing machine. Let your machine run once a month on the highest temperature setting. (For me, that's 95°Celsius) Ideally, with laundry and detergent. But empty with detergent is also ok. Clean the rubber ring that seals the door also once a month, just like the detergent drawer. I can remove my drawer, and I'm always shocked how dirty it gets within a months time. And keep the door open after you've used the machine, so the inside can dry completely.
I have a washer like that and mine has a little lever that keeps it open a little for air to flow through it helps to stop the smell in the washer you don't have young people plus it's behind the door you might want to try it it does help.
Where I work.....our backroom already has Christmas decorations in. I stock shelves in a store on 3rd shift. 🙁 We just started putting Halloween and fall things out. I wasn't ready for Christmas things yet. 😐 Thanks for sharing. I loved the flowers you showed. 😊
Wow, we aren't even out of summer weather wise here in Louisiana and not to mention hurricane season still has a couple months to go, I'd hate to see holiday decorations going up already lol. As if people have extra money nowadays for holiday spending 😳
@@Yaya2214CJ yeah I know 🙁 I'm in Ohio. I wish we could get through one holiday at a time. We JUST got done with back to school and now it's Halloween and Fall/Thanksgiving decorations being put out. Christmas/trim a tree are in the back room. If I see Easter or Valentine's in the next few weeks the Ohio Valley is gonna hear me scream lol
Your weekend retreat looks so beautiful,it’s nice feeling to invest in your own body,mind and soul,you feel happier afterward.Thank you for lovely video.All the best to you both ❤
I got my snacks, Lou! I shared them with my whole family and we had such an enjoyable time trying all the delicious treats. Thank you so much for providing that service! You did a great job cleaning the apartment too! You inspire me to tackle some forgotten things around my house as well! by the way, don’t the tablets drive you crazy until they finally dissolve? I know mine do!
Magyarországról nézlek. Nagyon szeretem Benned a nyugodságot, amit sugárzol. A mosógépet minden használat után kitörlöm és fél napra nyitva hagyom. Havonta egyszer 10 százalékos ecettel 90 fokon átmosom. Imádom a sok kiegészítő eszközt, amit ott lehet kapni. ❤
Be very careful with the cleaning pucks for your washer. I find they can bleach clothes. I usually set my machine for a quick hot rinse to be sure all the residue is gone before putting clothes in. Also with cleaning anything less is more.
Hi Lou , you are a very hard worker. Your apt is sparkling after you did all of that cleaning. So happy you and your bf got to go out to eat on your outing. So happy you have him. You can have fun times together. He is a very hard worker. That apple banana smoothie looked delicious. Smoothies are refreshing. Have a wonderful week with you and your bf. 💜
Your sleep set is super cute, and it also looks like it's very light and cool to wear 😊 Something that I do to prevent bad smells in the washing machine is to always leave the door of the washing machine open AND take out the soap tray when the machine is not in use. It helps to dry out the inside of the washing machine so that bacteria won't grow.

Another tip, Lou. If you can, keep the washer door a little open. It airs it out inside and keeps it dry so there's less moldy smell.
This is absolutely a Must-do tip. 100%

I've always had a top loader washer I agree I believe they clean better also

I love getting up and seeing you have a new post. I have my coffee with you. Your videos are very calming. Wishing you the best from Mississippi
Lou C....when making chicken noodle soup it tastes better if you bake the chicken with olive oil and herbs instead of boiling.
Вареная курица тоже вкусная!!!
Happy September. Best way to start the month was with your new video. Thank you so might for sharing your life with us. ❤
Maybe with your store gig you could sell various Japanese gadgets. They seem very helpful in cleaning. I would buy products.
I love your 'nesting'. All your things look very modern and fit the space. You are very clever with these space saving tricks.

Hello Lou C love your vlogs your videos keeps me feeling relaxed and peaceful I just love them so take care of yourself stay healthy and safe Happy September 1st 🥰❤️😘
Thanks for all these cleaning hacks Lou! Have a great autumn ! ❤
I always leave the washer open after using it so it can air dry and it helps prevent mold. So far we've had no issues. We wipe the dryer filter every time before we use the dryer, we got it pre-owned and the filter warpedbfrom the heat so it was loose and let a LOT of lint through, we had to pull the dryer away from the wall and get into it to get it all out. Now we have a new lint trap in it.
Anyway, I was looking forward to your video after a long day at work and a gym session. Keep doing what you do ❤
PS: there's also fleece dusters for the Swiffer handles so you don't have to buy the disposable ones all the time. You can just wash them in your washer 😊 I'm buying some soon
Hi Lou, it would help your washing machine to use powder detergent rather than liquid, liquid residue builds up and make your machine and clothes smell! Hope this helps. Xx
Happy New Year Lou 😂😂😂. To me this is the beginning of my year. It was a terribly hot summer in Italy..I need a winter like in Games of Thrones!!!
Sweet Lou, you're life is not ordinary because YOU are not ordinary!!! YOU ARE AN EXCEPTIONAL, SWEET & BEAUTIFUL LADY!!! Plus very hardworking, you are amazing, honeybun!!
Stay safe, stay healthy!
Lots of love and warm hugs from an old (rebel) Pinkie
BTW: I always use a glass cuttingboard!!! Like that much better than the wooden ones ;-)
My advice, the washing machine needs a deep clean once a month. Just on a very hot wash with nothing added. And like someone said leave the doors open a bit
Dear Lou C
That black tube on the bottom of your washer where the filter is that you removed earlier, there is a little black knob that you pull out of that tube and you’re supposed to drain that tube. Put a bowl under there to catch the water. You will find a lot of yuckiness comes out of that little black tube at the bottom of your washer , I drain mine and clean out that filter once a month. That is a lot of your culprit of the smell.
I wouldn't think I would enjoy watching someone clean their house but apparently I do. I guess I just love watching your videos no matter what you're doing. 😁 Thank you for being here! ❤
Mmmm I love sopas!! Now I wanna make it. The weather is a lil chilly here in Canada so this would be perf
After you use the washer, leave the door open to dry it out. Run the clean cycle too. That will stop the smell
Lou is there somewhere you could put your recipes for us to access so we can recreate the lovely food and drinks that you make? 🙏 🎉❤
Simply put vinegar in the washing machine and let it run empty at 60 or 95 degrees. Vinegar is the best descaler and the best disinfectant. I add vinegar to every wash.
Yes, running a regular cycle (try to do this monthly) using only vinegar will clean your front loader nicely. Vinegar is also a wonderful fabric softener in laundry. Adding vinegar to every wash not only clean the machine, it also makes your clothes soft and smelling clean and fresh. You may also consider switching to a powdered detergent. I learned recently that the ingredients in liquid detergent leaves a sticky residue that promote bacteria and mold growth, esp. in front loaders. I’ve since stopped using liquid detergent and switched to powder laundry soap and add vinegar with every wash; no more moldy smelling clothes. And no more mold/slime build up along the rubber lining in my front loader.
Happy Sunday morning Lou C., It's beautiful ❤️😍❤️ here in my home 🏡 of Honolulu Hawaii,
Another great video - why is it so relaxing to watch others clean? You certainly deserved that spa trip after your cleaning day! Take care and stay well! Blessings from Georgia, USA! 🥰❤
Stunning view from the foot bath. Thank you so much for taking us along. x
Very chilly today. 😌
Enjoy ☺️
Dearest Lou C..have been following you for a number of years now and appreciate how you share your everyday life.....also looked up and found some great songs/tracks you use in your videos ..Thank you for this❤
Hi Lou! You are sooooo productive! I watch your content and think I wish I was so productive as you (and I am typing this while procrastinating doing the dishes!😂). Your soup looked wonderful! I have a new puppy too who is only about 13 weeks old so I am enjoying that cuteness. lol! I can’t believe it’s already September!!! The 4th would have been my mom’s 87th birthday. Miss her so much! Still, the memories are good!❤ Take care and I look forward to your next video!
I love your videos! You’re so clean and organized ❤️ Becareful what cleaning products you mix together. Never mix ammonia and bleach! It creates a poisonous gas that will kill you. Take care❤️🙏🥰
Watch with my mom every week but she said this week’s episode was the most boring one she’s seen 😂 I personally think it was very soothing
Line the little broiler pan with aluminum foil to help keep it clean. We always leave the washing machine lid open after using it to let it dry out. The foot bath looks wonderful!
Привет, Lou, дорогая!!! 😘 Очень приятно видеть твои видео!!!🎉 В череде тревог, забот и грусти, приятно посмотреть твои видео, потому что они дарят безмятежность, спокойствие души и мотивацию!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Я очень горжусь тобой, какая ты умная, сильная, целеустремленная и трудолюбивая девушка!!! ❤️ Ты тоже должна себя любить и гордиться собой, во-первых просто так, а во-вторых, потому что есть за что!!!☝️ Еще мне понравилась надпись на футболке, очень правильная!
Hola Lou. Podrías probar de dejar la puerta de la lavadora abierta, y que se seque bien la goma de la lavadora para que no crezcan las bacterias. A mí me va bien. Y secar la goma con una bayeta seca.🤗😊
Hi Enjoy your videos, the foot bath seem wonderful!
I hope all is well. I love watching your videos. I am glad you have happiness in your life!
Loved your original blogs but really almost a whole vlog of cleaning a washing machine. As exciting as watching paint dry !
Too bad. That's part of her life. It's also what her first vlogs were about too cooking and cleaning and occasionally visiting places. She's honoring her BF by not showing him and that's her right. Also she can't film at work, so what else should she do? Run up debt, by going all over? Complainer
Well said @@Yaya2214CJ
Comments are meant to to be honest and that’s my opinion whether you like it or not
Never seen you wear cleaning gloves. Good for your hands. Does your bf help with cleaning and laundry or cooking? The smoothie looks delicious
People asking where is the boyfriend and why doesn't he help....this is her channel and if she doesn't want to show him or he doesn't want to be in her videos she doesn't have to.
Chill lady....take a Valium !
@@aguantecanada who are you talking to? 🤔
People don't realize that Lou said in the beginning with her boyfriend that he does not want to be on camera, and she honors that. How does anyone watching know how much he helps or not. If it's not shown. Nobody really knows. He works very long hours as well. Lou seems happy and that's all that matters.
Hallo Lou..
Wenn man die Waschmaschine nur immer mit dem "Sparprogramm" benutzt..dann fängt die Maschine mit der Zeit an zu stinken.Und dann die Kleidung und dann der ganze Kleiderschrank.
Diese Erfahrung habe ich gemacht.
Also so oft wie möglich mit dem normalen Programm waschen.
Und die Waschmaschine 1x im Monat auf der höchsten Gradzahl 95 Grad leer und mit Maschinenreiniger laufen lassen .
Viel Glück und Liebe Grüße aus Heidelberg/Germany 😊🌹
Hello 👋 Thank you so much for the advice 🤗💕
During my past business trips to Tokyo I usually stayed at the Dome City Hotel, then went with a friend of mine to the La Qua public baths in Dome City. She had recommended this place to me and it was fantastic. We would do the sauna and then the bath at the bathing station, then the whirlpool and salt baths, then the relaxation room which is v-e-r-y relaxing. Really miss going to Japan, maybe next year I can squeeze in a trip (now retired).
Hello sweet Lou! 💛💛. so happy to see a video from you today, I missed you last week. All of my favorites in this video… Cleaning, assembling stuff to use in your apartment, cooking and even a little outing. Our summer lasts a bit longer here in northern California… The temperatures will drop a little bit in September but we won’t really start fall until the beginning of October. It was a lovely summer and it sure did pass quickly! Hope you’re feeling well… Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you as always. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💛💛
Love your videos!!!!
Have you thought about taking that sticker off your sink. It would look so much nicer.
Adding a bit of vinegar to each washing load for a while, and every now and then afterwards, will keep your washing machine ánd laundry fresh (and no, you don't smell the vinegar in your laundry ;))
Oh, and if your laundry smells, soak it for an hour in water with vinegar before washing it.
Hey there, always leave the door and the drawer open. So the inside can dry out and you don't have to worry about mould. And every 4 weeks do an empty load on the highest temperature with just a cup of vinegar. It will do the job and cause less chemicals.
May you link the recipe for the chicken soup?
Great way to start my day!!
Hi Lou, nice calming vlog. You got inspired to clean. My Grandma was a good house cleaner. In retirement she would clean other ppls home who were unable to do it. The creamy chicken soup looks delicious 😋. Beautiful lights at night from the buildings and pool too. Lovely flowers at the beginning of the vlog. Have a good week 😊Joan 🎉
Why don’t you line your grill pan with foil 😊
Front loaders like you have for whatever reason leaves water in lines , leave door open , use vinagar in a rinse cycle without items in washer
❤️❤️
So many different types of cleaning products and cleaning gadgets. You could have your own cleaning business because you are very thorough! Ppl would pay good money for that service. Keep up the good work in your carefree happy life! 😊😊😊
Привет Лу и спасибо тебе что ты снова с нами❤
Здоровье тебе и мирного неба над головой ❤🌻
🇧🇷 Olá amiga espero que esteja bem ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Lou great to hear from you again. Looking forward to Xmas and new year soon. Wishing you a smooth journey toward the end of the year. Stay safe and take care as Japan is down with bad weather over many areas. May God bless you and your boyfriend always. ❤
Have a good day ☺️
I have a question and it may be odd but i have been curious for some time about the little thing that looks like a tiny computer with 6 keys, what is it? Its adorable. I keep forgetting to ask about it. You have such cool stuff. You could also sell some of the nifty gagets from daiso in your boxes or even other ramen that isn't just the cup noodles. Hi from Arkansas in the US.
Another laundry machine tip. I have it from the company who repaires my washing machine.
Let your machine run once a month on the highest temperature setting. (For me, that's 95°Celsius)
Ideally, with laundry and detergent. But empty with detergent is also ok.
Clean the rubber ring that seals the door also once a month, just like the detergent drawer. I can remove my drawer, and I'm always shocked how dirty it gets within a months time.
And keep the door open after you've used the machine, so the inside can dry completely.
Another tip. Line the stove tray in Aluminum foil. Makes clean up easy and ypu don't get the burned on pieces.
I love the foot bath and view. Looks so relaxing.
Vinegar is very effective at cleaning washing machines. I run the machine 3 times and it effective for odor and any moldy particles.
I have a washer like that and mine has a little lever that keeps it open a little for air to flow through it helps to stop the smell in the washer you don't have young people plus it's behind the door you might want to try it it does help.
Where I work.....our backroom already has Christmas decorations in. I stock shelves in a store on 3rd shift. 🙁 We just started putting Halloween and fall things out. I wasn't ready for Christmas things yet. 😐
Thanks for sharing. I loved the flowers you showed. 😊
Wow, we aren't even out of summer weather wise here in Louisiana and not to mention hurricane season still has a couple months to go, I'd hate to see holiday decorations going up already lol. As if people have extra money nowadays for holiday spending 😳
@@Yaya2214CJ yeah I know 🙁 I'm in Ohio. I wish we could get through one holiday at a time. We JUST got done with back to school and now it's Halloween and Fall/Thanksgiving decorations being put out. Christmas/trim a tree are in the back room. If I see Easter or Valentine's in the next few weeks the Ohio Valley is gonna hear me scream lol
So good to see you! Worried about you in all the nature activities going on!
Thank you so much for your concern 💕🤗 stay safe ❤️
Love your channel! It's so peaceful and relaxing. You and the Outdoor Boys are my fave youtube channels!!! Best wishes from Oklahoma!❤
Happy you’re on ❤
Omg this foot bath thing is so cool!!!!
الفيديو جميل ❤❤
Your weekend retreat looks so beautiful,it’s nice feeling to invest in your own body,mind and soul,you feel happier afterward.Thank you for lovely video.All the best to you both ❤
I got my snacks, Lou! I shared them with my whole family and we had such an enjoyable time trying all the delicious treats. Thank you so much for providing that service! You did a great job cleaning the apartment too! You inspire me to tackle some forgotten things around my house as well! by the way, don’t the tablets drive you crazy until they finally dissolve? I know mine do!
Wow beautiful view outside!
Magyarországról nézlek. Nagyon szeretem Benned a nyugodságot, amit sugárzol.
A mosógépet minden használat után kitörlöm és fél napra nyitva hagyom. Havonta egyszer 10 százalékos ecettel 90 fokon átmosom.
Imádom a sok kiegészítő eszközt, amit ott lehet kapni.
❤
Hola amiga 😊 ojala estes bien me gusta verte y q rica esa sopa cremosa
Your kitchen is spotless.
❤❤❤
If you line the broiler tray with tinfoil you won't have to clean it as often
Hi Lou! Thanks for sharing! So great to see you enjoying yourself around town 😊
Be very careful with the cleaning pucks for your washer. I find they can bleach clothes. I usually set my machine for a quick hot rinse to be sure all the residue is gone before putting clothes in. Also with cleaning anything less is more.
Hi Lou , you are a very hard worker. Your apt is sparkling after you did all of that cleaning. So happy you and your bf got to go out to eat on your outing. So happy you have him. You can have fun times together. He is a very hard worker.
That apple banana smoothie looked delicious. Smoothies are refreshing. Have a wonderful week with you and your bf. 💜
Wonderful episode. Beautiful pictures and that foot bath looked amazing.
Your sleep set is super cute, and it also looks like it's very light and cool to wear 😊
Something that I do to prevent bad smells in the washing machine is to always leave the door of the washing machine open AND take out the soap tray when the machine is not in use. It helps to dry out the inside of the washing machine so that bacteria won't grow.
