Finally, the new video is up after a very busy week 💕<br><br>Which part of my new place do you like the most? For me, it’s definitely the kitchen and the window 🌷<br><br>If you have any simple, cozy decorating ideas, I’d love to hear them. I’ll start decorating and setting up the room in my next vlog.<br><br>Thank you for being here and supporting me through this new chapter. It truly means a lot to me. ❤️❤️❤️

Don't listen to any negative comments about your work clothes, Thu. You ride 30minutes to work on a scooter in all kinds of weather. The only opinion that truly matters is yours 😊 I'd start with big pieces of furniture, like your bed, a table you could eat at and use for a desk, for your laptop, then put up fabrics like sheer gauzey curtains. Some inexpensive fairy lights would be cozy too. Maybe a candle and family pictures too.

Dear Thu, as a mother, and a mother who lost a daughter, it hurt my heart to watch you stand and eat your meal after such a long day, even though you might be used to it. I looked online and saw that this amount might be enough to buy a small table and chairs or a comfortable armchair in Hanoi. I hope that is true. I know your own mother would do something like this if she could, so consider this is from her through another mama. <br><br>And though you are a strong and independent and courageous young woman, I wanted to say please...take that shame you felt and put it into the trash. In making your videos, you must accept you will receive comments sometimes that may be born of ignorance or unfamiliarity with your life, true circumstances, or culture - or inappropriate comparison judgements between how things are in your world and how things are in a commenter's world. Welcome into your heart and mind any comment that serves you, and let the others go like a feather in the wind. It should be no different than picking up seashells. Some will speak to you and make you happy. Pick those up and let the others remain behind.❤

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on the new place 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉<br><br>2nd. DO NOT listen to those irrelevant people. You are dressing EXACTLY as you need to, for the type of work you do. If your boss requires a different dress code, then he/she will let you know.<br><br>3rd. Take your time to really think about the space, and how you need it to function for you. Slowly purchase whatever you need. Don't rush, it will all come together eventually.<br><br>I hope this helps you with purchasing things for your place, and maybe time to pamper yourself a little.<br>Celebrate yourself and every achievement 🎉🎉🎉🎉

When I sold real estate, I encouraged people to get plants to “warm up” a place, because they have texture, color, good energy, and are like easy pets to take care of 🌱💕

Don't do that to yourself. Don't let people make you feel embarrassed or ashamed. You have what you need and that's plenty. You're making moves and upgrading your situation, you are doing great!!! ❤

You should wrap the metal railing on the second floor with warm white fairy lights, it would make the whole place super cozy ✨<br>You could also buy an inexpensive lamp or floor lamp with a warm light and put it on the first floor. Then you wouldn’t have to keep using the big cool-white light all the time, and the apartment would feel much more intimate and cozy

Adding plants is always a great way to make a place feel cozy and happy
