Do you have to press micro power before pressing the time on your microwave? My parents and one at work are like that.
Ahahaha the leg of the tripod got me. I watched you do it, saw you hadn't and just waited. Good morning from a cold Adelaidean!
I agree and do the same with watching a variety of ppl who I have nothing in common with. Snort laughed at the running comment cos I do the same 🤪
Would love the link or the iPhone tripod please 😊
I love how you still plan date nights but what's even more adorable is the matching oodies. You were nervous making a new friend in your 20s, try making them in your 50s it doesn't get any easier. You're a beautiful soul Ella so I'm not suprised she liked you.
Omg I’m from Windsor! I worked in Staines for two years xxx
omg Windsor castle was my favourite place to visit as a child 🥹🥰
Sending you so many hugs throughout the different milestones related to your pregnancy and loss 💙💙 The first due date was the worst for me. I honestly didn’t expect it to affect me as much as it did. Please ensure you’re taking the time you need to process & express any emotions whenever times like that come up. Grief isn’t linear 💙
Morning from Hawaii love your Sunday reset
I’m in the UK so our washing rarely dries indoors without a dehumidifier. It’s honestly the best investment I’ve ever made. One day and the washing is dry, even in snowy weather here! x
oh i'll have to do some research! thanks lovely x
Hi Ella how are you happy Tuesday night to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
Hey! Try spinning the knob to the right on the microwave, that’s how the timer on mine works 🤷🏻♀️
we've tried that 😅
Hi Ella. If you feel up to it, I think talking about workplace bullying could be beneficial for some viewers.
oooh maybe!
I have the Kmart microwave, too! You just type whatever time you need on the numbers. So e.g. 2 min, 30 sec, click 2-3-0, then click Start 😊
Literally how scary is making friends as an adult 😂 but truly feel like you find your lifelong friends as an adult because you can genuinely connect with people and not just be friends because you go to the same school / work in the same place etc! Goooood on you for having a gal date!! 🎉😂
that's so so true! you know yourself so much better too so the friendships you do make are so authentic to you ☺️
Feels with the microwave haha I do the exact same thing 😂
hahaha glad it's not just us 😂
Love your content! Jimenez is pronounced he-men-ez 😅 it’s a Spanish last name
haha thank you!!
Look into a heat pump dryer. Not expensive to run at all. They can be quite expensive, but I have a cheaper Essato one and it’s been running perfectly for the last 5 years.
ooh i've never heard of a heat pump dryer before? i'll have a suss, thanks!
You explaining the romance books hahahh same girl 😂
cringe city 😂
I so get you with making friends in your 20s , ( I’m 27 in November 😳) I literally have no friends and adding 2 kiddos to the mix has been so much more challenging meeting some friends! Good on you for getting yourself out there !! ❤
oh I can only imagine 😩 are there any good mum groups in your area? I feel like that's the only way i'd be able to make friends as a mum 😂
@@smileycitrus there definitely is, but after going to them, they have all kind of formed their own bonds with people and I felt so left out and uncomfortable so I stopped going and just have my little boys as my besties haha 🥰😂
💖💖💖
🥰🫶🏼
Good morning everyone, have a wonderful day wherever you are ❤
have a fab week ❤️
YAY! So glad you love your ‘Girl Math’ tumbler! Thank you for sharing too lovely! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
it's adorable 🥹 thanks again!
@@smileycitrus happy sippin’ 🍓
Yay!! Have a cup of tea ready, about to hop into bed and watch - thanks Ella 🫶🏼
aw enjoy 🥰☕️
Me too 😂😂
Can I ask what the difference is between layout 1,2,3 etc please?
Hey girl, I have a question! How did you input your total expense of travel into your Coplenty 2024 budget tracker to show that it had deducted from your Travel savings account? Have been trying to figure out a way to make this work cohesively in the budget tracker! I hope this makes sense, and thanks in advance!
This was such an interesting break down! We’re currently working on a breakdown of our 15 months of travel, so it’s fascinating to see the differences in short-term and long-term travel.
wow! that's amazing!
Loved the video
thank you! x
I will say for accommodation you guys were visiting some of the most expensive cities for hotels. I went to Boston last year and it was almost shocking but most nice hotels were $300-500 USD a night. I think when researching it said Boston is one of the most expensive for hotels.
a very good point!
I love Wanderlog! But I've never used it to it's full extent like it looks like you have, you have me motivated 🫡 did you use the itinerary list/function or just created your own "list" for each day?
just created our own list ☺️
This was so helpful Ella thank you! 🙏🏼 The tipping system is so interesting as an Australian! Do you know if it is a legal requirement to tip in the USA?
you're so welcome! not tipping isn't illegal but frowned upon. In saying that, they ask for tips EVERYWHERE. I saw heaps of people decline to tip at cafes, fast food places etc.
me taking a bite of my kfc tender and you pull up to the drive thru👀
hahaha great minds think alike
Love these cozy at home vlogs so much! 🥰
i'm so glad 🥰
Thank you for providing such useful tips for travelling! I never knew flight seats were priced in batching like that ☺
you're so welcome!! glad it was helpful 🥰
Adelaide recs for november 🙏🥰
Loved this. I would be interested to see your planning process and how you decide on which hotels, which airline and flight times etc to book.
I'll definitely document that for my next trip 🥰
Hi Ella, love your content and look forward to new upload each week. Can you say what game you all are playing at the end of this vlog. Looking forward to snippets from your girls trip. xx
thank you so much! the game is called Taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza! it's so fun 😅🥰
Thanks for sharing your experience . I will like to do a solo trip this year. How was getting around on public transport? Was it confusing and difficult?
public transport was great! we felt safe and it was super easy to navigate ☺️
Love this…. So helpful for my trip in September. Thank you ❤ I scored Fiji Airways flights for $1198 and I was stoked but man everything else is expensive 🤣🤣🤣
that's such an amazing price!! have the best time 🥰✈️
Hey ella where did you get your scrapbook from?
it's from Amazon!
Please vlog everything you book and plan for Europe! 🩷
i've gotchu 🙂↕️
This is one of my fave videos ever! So much work and detail , it is so appreciated and soo helpful! 🎉
ahh thank you lovely! 😍
I am nosy and love travel!! I did contact co plenty a year or so ago and asked about a travel planner, I will have to grab one for sure. I am planning a trip to Scotland and hopefully a 4-5 days in London, likely be a couple of years away but I'll keep in mind to book flights in advance. So lucky you was able to check in to your hotel early!! I considered paying for the night before just in case I was wrecked and wanted some down time.
it's such a great planner! what a wonderful trip that will be 😍
Is that the paid version of wanderlog?
no! just the free version
you best believe I’m taking detailed notes ✍️
let me know if you have any Q's at all! i'm beyond excited to see your trip 😍
I live for your content. Your my favorite person online omg
omg stop 🥹🫶🏼
Really looking forward to the euro trip planning! I’ll be doing it along with you 😊 thanks for this breakdown as well, super insightful!
I can't wait 🥹🥰
thank you so much! you literally explained so well. saving this for my travels 😍
so glad it was helpful! 🥰
Great video🙌 pls don't ever take your dog with you on vacation. I work at the airport and every day I see completely distressed animals that have trouble breathing or a literal anxiety attack because they were taken on vacation with the family and needed to be in the belly of the plane. It just hurts the soul to see. Also so many animals die in the belly of planes
oh I would never! she has it good with her grandpawrents 😂
How much did you spend on tipping?
tipping was included in all of these transactions but we generally tipped 18-20% most places
A well-deserved thumbs up for you!
