Hey guys, it's sadie.
Today i'm gonna be doing my room tour in my new apartment at university.
Guys, i forgot to say the reason why there's a band-aid on my neck is because i burnt it with the curling iron, again over top of the burn that i already had.
Plus, i burned my finger too.
I shouldn't be allowed to use hair tools.
I have been getting some comments being like really
Another apartment?
Like another one?
Didn't you just move into that one for first year?
Mainly the reason is because I wanted to save money.
I am in Waterloo and the apartments are not the cheapest here, especially living alone, paying all my utilities and then all of the Other expenses that I have during school, like groceries and insurance, and paying for my car and parking, it was getting to be too much.
And I was like, you know what?
This is going to be my one chance to have roommates and to really get more of a university experience instead of living by myself for the whole four years.
So now I have two roommates, Aliyah and Liv.
I really wanted to make my room mine, but I wanted to do it in a little bit less of a high maintenance way.
I could have just said in a more low maintenance way.
I made that really complicated.
I recently just did some finishing touches to it that just make it feel so much like me and so much like home.
Filming a room tour by yourself is really hard.
I am filming right now because Aaliyah's in class and Liv is in class and I have like 50 minutes to film this.
So this is what I'm doing today.
I'm gonna link something like this down below.
Oh, you can't even see it.
It's a little hook thing that hangs on the back of your door so you can hang a bunch of hoodies.
I obviously love white box hoodies.
You might be getting a little white box haul from me.
I am so excited.
Oh, that one has a stain on it.
I keep all the ones that are like brighter and lighter on the top and then all the ones that are darker on the bottom, just to keep with the theme of the room.
And then over here I have command hooks.
Make sure when you're hanging command hooks that you leave them to stick for an hour because Liv and I have been trying to hang this one command hook in the washroom and we try to put our hand towel on it, it keeps falling off. like every day it's a little game of seeing if the hand towel is gonna be still hung up but it's because we didn't wait to put the hand towel on but these i actually did wait and they can hang some pretty heavy stuff so i have my keys this is where i have all my cards my keys my car keys my ids everything and then it's just a wristlet so i can just walk to class like that my little f bag actually our den gave this to me in a little pr and it has an f on it so very collegiate looking even though i really don't use tote bags for a lot of things i feel like i use tote bags just for groceries but i actually love that as decor so now let's move on to the rest of the room here we have my closet so this closet was a lot smaller than my other one and it's a lot more shallow this is basically just a hole in the wall like it's just a little divot in the wall it's basically this deep so i really had to come up with some organization tactics to make it kind of good i got these curtains on amazon and they just make the whole space look a lot more clean over here i have a little closet hanging organizer i will link this one or a similar one down below it basically just hangs on the rods that are up there so you don't need to build shelves or buy any closet stuff i wanted to just use some like buildable things these bins i'm gonna link on amazon and a tip is to hang your tank tops on a belt hanger because you can just like organize them i feel like i want to color code these but it also leaves a lot of room for your folding stuff here i have some extra shoes but i have my main shoes like my uggs and my white lacoste sneakers like at the front door then i just have this on the bottom which is my laundry basket which i've had for years It's just so cute seeing how many things I've brought from each apartment that I've lived in.
Like all the way from my first apartment.
I have so many things that I'm still using and it just makes me so happy.
The part of the closet that I actually don't love, but honestly, it's just so easy.
Like you could build these cubes to be whatever shape you want.
This is all of my folding clothes and then I have some hats hanging here.
I'll link this hat rack. some bin for storage, but this makes the room look so much bigger.
Like when I'm looking in this mirror, it also reflects the other mirror that's over there, and then it just makes the whole room look bigger.
That's a tip, if you have a really small dorm, to put a mirror in it, and it just makes it look a lot bigger.
But this is unfortunately the mirror that my roommates love to come in and just look at themselves in, because you can see your whole outfit and it's also against the window, so it's really good lighting.
Unfortunately, it's just too good of a mirror and i have the burden of just having everyone wanting to use my mirror.
This is the IKEA Hobbit mirror, I think.
These are the same curtains as those, just a shorter length.
I will link them as well.
And now we're getting to the fun stuff.
I'm so sorry for the lighting situation.
It's gonna be backlit because the window's right there.
But this is actually my favorite part of my entire room.
When you walk in the door, I wanted you to see my bed and all the decor on the walls.
And I feel like I'm going to be filming this way a lot too since my desk is right there.
So I have my infamous magnet.
Mine is a magnet.
I'll link the website down below.
I got it like custom made, but I guess you could just ask for the same design if you want.
And I've had it for years.
And you can also control it from your phone.
If you get one of those Alexa plugs, I'll plug it into that and then you can control it from your phone.
But I just have a little controller sat on my windowsill right now.
That's how bright it goes.
And then that's like the lowest brightness.
I usually have it like that.
At night, it's so nice because it's just like vibes.
It makes my whole room pink.
For my bedding, I wanted like a white, taupe and pink vibe.
My duvet is from Winners.
That's also from Winners.
And this is from, I don't know.
I will link all similar things down below.
This is a twin bed.
Honestly, could do with a double bed, but I'm a very small person.
So this is good.
And also it gives me a lot more room out there.
Oh, my toes in the frame move.
I do work at my desk for about two hours and then, once I'm done, it's gonna be me here doing work for the rest of the time.
Also, putting two blankets on my bed keeps it really clean like I have white bedding.
So I really hate when I have to clean the stains off and the oil stains, like the body oil stains so I just have two blankets here, so when you're sitting on the bed, you're actually sitting on the blankets and they're much easier to clean.
This is my nightstand that I've had since my first apartment.
I think it's just perfect.
It is so cute.
I have this tissue holder, which I really wanted to showcase to you because it makes the tissues look a lot cuter.
Okay, can we talk for a sec?
I don't know why people make tissue boxes so ugly like.
There's probably one cute tissue box design in the pack of like 24.
So this is what we needed.
This is my sunlight lamp that you can set your alarm and then it will basically like shine, like there's sun in your room.
It just helps you wake up.
This is my family.
This is my best friend.
Actually, i drink so much water in the middle of the night like i will wake up and chug this.
I don't know why i get so thirsty in the middle of the night.
I don't know why, but i have this little cover which i love to talk about and which my friends and evan love to make fun of me for.
But I'm not going to be finding bugs in my straw.
This is from Amazon and it holds so much water.
It's a little bit bigger than the actual Stanley, but I think there also is a Stanley that's this size, but it's like very big.
So you will be hydrated all day.
Then I just have my glasses and a little coaster there too.
And then I have my school bag.
If you want to see what's in it, I made a video about that.
I'll link it.
This carpet is so pretty.
I got it from Winners.
I love how it has the pop of blue.
Like I know there's no blue in my room, but there is a little bit of gray and like the peach and the taupe.
I think it's really cool to have like a subtle pop of color.
I feel like this is now kind of the focus of the room.
This is really what I wanted to be like the wow factor, like this statement.
So I got these three frames at, I can't tell you.
I will tell you in a bit.
I actually made these three prints on Canva.
I got matte photo prints from Walmart.
I just have been seeing so many like aura quote type artwork on Pinterest and I wanted to recreate that, but I didn't want to buy one that was already made.
Like I want it to be special and unique to me.
I have a Leo one that says confident, brave and generous.
I know there's like a glare right now.
But then I just added this little gradient circle manifestation mantra.
I am a radiant creator, manifesting success, recognition and a life filled with passion.
When i see that every morning it just literally brightens my day.
The angel number 888, which is for balance, which is my favorite angel number it just makes me feel really calm, like that's what i always strive to have in my life is balance.
Balance between healthy eating, working out socializing, alone time like balance makes me feel my best.
So that's just a little reminder.
It says everything is falling into place as it's meant to be.
What time is it?
I feel like I'm going to miss my class.
Oh, I have time.
My phone matches my room.
Anyways.
And then I have, I honestly created this one straight out of my mind.
I started with a blank slate and I was like, what quote do I like?
Your life is only as good as your mindset.
So then I put a little aura and I made sure that the pinks all matched.
Just there's some continuity in the colors.
I wanted them to kind of look like a set.
The next part of my room is my desk.
I personally just love doing work here.
This desk actually came with the apartment, so I didn't have to change it at all.
I love how it's a white top.
And then we added these two kind of nightstand things on the end that my parents just had in their house and they weren't using them.
So I was like, I need storage in here.
And I have four bins there filled with like my hair products, hair tools, extra body products, like razor heads Q-tips, all of that like storagey stuff.
Because this is also where I get ready.
So this is like doubling as my vanity.
So I have all of my makeup here.
This is from Amazon.
My makeup mirror from Amazon.
This mirror, it transforms the room.
Like I originally was not going to put this here.
And I was like, I feel like I need something there.
Like the wall is too bare.
And I didn't want to put another big photo here.
I was debating on doing a collage wall.
When I put the mirror here and I saw it, it just had to be there.
And also the gold, I love it.
And then I have all my jewelry, my glasses.
This is actually something that Evan got me for my birthday.
And it's really cute because I honestly never know what day it is.
And it kind of goes with the theme.
And then i have my little ipad right now.
I just updated it to ios 17 and i still need to customize it.
So let me know if you want a video on, like me, setting my ipad up from ios 16 to ios 17, because now you have like the new wallpapers and widgets and stuff like that.
I will always use this desk mat because this desk mat gets dirty, which means if it didn't get dirty, it would be my desk that's getting dirty, and usually my desk is white and we can't have that.
I have my computer right here.
This chair is actually from my parents house.
I am so grateful that i got it, because the one that came with the apartment was like a rolly, crickety black like if i lean back on it.
I was scared it was gonna break.
Thank you guys.
So so much for watching this video.
I'm so excited that you finally know what my room looks like.
I feel like i've been hiding this secret from you guys for so many weeks just because i didn't want to show it unless it was fully done, And now it's pretty much fully done.
Don't mind the literal holes in the wall.
Those were there when I came here and that's just what you get with the student department.
I love you guys so much and I will see you in my next video.
Bye.
