Your channel just got recommended to me and I am SO glad I found you. THIS CONTENT 👏🏾. Thank you for not being a 20-year-old millionaire influencer living off a smoothie all day while traipsing through her “day in the life” in SoHo. I always talk about normalizing actual life and as a fellow NYC-er (in non-glam BK!) I can totally relate and appreciate. Keep up the great content! ✨

[KourttneyL]

Thank you for keeping it real. I am so so tired of seeing all the influencers who live in NYC just living up the great life, showing off what 90% of us don’t live. They are really stuck in their own bubble!!

[caraamethyst]

Honestly nothing makes me feel better than seeing the “unaesthetic” life online. The messy house, the uncool clothes lol, and talking about how hard it is to just keep up with life. I live alone and am out of the house 10 hours a day for work, and with a plethora of health issues, my house is always a constant mess. And then seeing every influencer’s in tact house and the time to work out and eat well and socialize always makes me feel like I must be doing something wrong.

I love these non-aesthetic vlogs because they ARE such an aesthetic. It’s a cozy, homey vlog that just makes you feel like everything is alright, and you’re surrounded by the things you love.

[JuliaCostanzo]

girl, you have an elevator and a laundry in your building. YOU ARE LIVING THE NY DREAM (crying laughing face emoji heart) love the original content, I totally relate!

[emilylawlor]

I love this so much . The anti aesthetic. You had to literally blur out something on the floor. The garbage bags and laundry soap haul. this is my life. I'm 38.

[emilyliu]

As a native of Queens, I love this video!! this is the most accurate life of a typical New Yorker! Not those “aesthetic 24/7” videos we see on YouTube I get so tired of them, everyone always trying doing the same thing lol but there’s just something so special about that New York grit and hustle

[elensey]

Watching it from Germany, almost crying how thankful I am to see something so real and human. Thank you, thank you for filming it and sharing <3 Sending hugs and support to you!

[africanmermaid]

Girl I’m 40. I spend all weekend gathering up the mojo to get myself together enough to do what you did. Thank you for sharing - the struggle is real

[caitparry]

I live alone too, except I'm 20 and live in England.. so kinda the other side of the pond, but I find your content to be extremely relatable. It's hard to maintain your space, cleaning every day is difficult when you work five days a week and struggle with anxiety. I feel seen. Thank you for putting out this content, it really makes a massive change compared to the glamorised and 'aesthetic' content you see other creators producing. And I think you are right, an average, messy life certainly can be aesthetic, you just have to reframe your mindset<3

[LauraLopez-pjdh]

You talking about having Thyroid issues and being unmedicated is literally the most relatable thing I’ve seen on Youtube, I struggle with the same problem. It’s so hard to get anything done when your body feels exhausted all the time. I used to blame myself for years thinking I was just lazy or weak when all I needed was medical help. My place was also messy most of the time due to pushing most of my energy to get through work. You got this! It will get better, I will start treatment soon and I hope it will change my life🤞🏻

This is exactly why I subscribed to you. You show the realistic REALISTIC New York and the reality of living as a self sufficient working adult. Your honesty is so valuable! You’re such an insightful human that I love your content nyc or non-nyc related! Just love to hear your thoughts.

Looking forward to more videos!

This video was suggested to me by YouTube. I found it so relatable!! I don’t live in NYC, but I also live alone in a pretty small apartment. I too find it hard to keep the place clean and not messy, and to get all the things done during the weekend. I don’t think I have chronic fatigue, but I do feel like I get tired much faster than most people. So comforting to know I’m not alone! Sometimes I feel like a total weirdo and like something is wrong with me, because people don’t normally show this side of them online. Also, I like Sally Rooney a lot! Thank you for putting your content out there, wishing you all the best ❤

I just noticed the "glamorous" homefront picture in the thumbnail. Made me chuckle. At this point we've all seen a couple thousand hours of youtuber content and it becomes harder not to roll your eyes at the pattern of making everything look like as if it's a pinterest board or Vogue. You come across as authentic, sweet and determined to fight the slog. We can all relate to that. So don't worry and keep going. At the end of the day, it really is just about putting stuff out and nurturing that connection you have with the people who enjoy your content.

[Bluemgwes]

I truly hope your channel blows up because of how real you are. You're genuine, authentic, and a very sweet person. I hope all the best for you, Chelsea!

[CarolJoyable]

I love how real you are. No bullshit and smoke and mirrors. It’s refreshing to see a young woman in NYC being honest about the struggles of life and living. Not every moment is joyous, nor should it be.
You are a-okay with me!

[thekyleemadison]

As soon as you said you've struggled with chronic fatigue, I felt so seen. Even as you were leading up to that bit and talking about doing the dishes and not wanting to clean every day, I had the thought in the back of my mind of like "oh, that's like me. it feels impossible to keep up with chores sometimes bc of my chronic fatigue." Mine is still undiagnosed, so I am not medicated yet. I don't currently have access to healthcare, but I am moving this summer to somewhere I will have that access, so I hope to find answers soon. But just hearing you talk about how it's gotten better gives me a small bit of hope. I can still do chores and things, it just takes me forever and it wipes me out every time.

[TheJanaMitic]

Loved it!! Real, normal people need to post more, not just fancy influencers. Coenzyme Q10 and Cordyceps should help with fatigue, but I'm struggling with that too.

[irislucillezelaya]

thanks for sharing about the chronic fatigue.... I have Hoshimoto Thyroiditis , was diagnosed at the age of six. thanks for keeping it real, makes the rest of us feel less alone <3 good job doing you & taking care of yourself<3

[fitcaprice]

omg thank you!! I've been looking at apartments in NYC and can't understand how these post grad early twenty somethings afford their apartments alone! Everyone I know either makes well over 100k or have roommates in Harlem or deep Brooklyn. Glad to know it's actually normal to be above Central Park. I've started looking at Jersey myself.
