FINALLYYYYY have some living room furniture!!! if you follow me on IG, you've already seen these things tho hehehe
Hi, I just wanted to ask because I was wondering if you will get plants faux or real or you perfer not?
Is that ikea couch comfortable?
Haha, it would be really funny if a VPN sponsored you so you can watch the originals... 😄
I think the rug looks different because of the lighting. It looked better when you were putting together the coffee table.
If you use your blow dryer to heat the adhesive of the sticker, it should peal off easily.
You’re NOT losing your independence by having your parents help! First off, your parents love when you “need” them. Trust me as a mother. Second, one day they won’t be here to help them. So spend as much time with them and have them help you as much as possible!!!!! ❤️❤️
Agreed! ❤
This!
True! I don't think your parents mind either. You guys are so close.
100% agree with this comment. Life is about those we love, especially our family. Any extra time you can spend with them will be the memories you cherish forever.
Andrea Benner...DITTO!
Omg. I love that your dad replied to your silly voice with a silly voice. What a gem.
we literally alwaayyyys talk like that hahaha
Tara,
- Here's my perspective as someone who was 25 once and comes from the same geographical area (Niagara County, NY).
- My Dad passed away when I was 22 and finishing university. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss having him around. Having your family around in the same city isn't losing your independence, it's gaining a valuable support system. I now live next door to my childhood home and my mother. Separate but close. I can keep an eye on her as she ages and she has been able to watch her granddaughter grow.
- You seem happier since you've come home. Life it to short to not to spend as much of it as you can being happy.
My father passed away while I was finishing up school, as well, and we were able to lay him to rest in CA, where I could thankfully visit him as often as I can! It is my dream to live next door to my mom, like you are doing, because she is currently living alone on the other coast. I wish the best for you and your mother🙏
from what I can tell, you are becoming MORE independent while being in Canada. It takes a certain amount of emotional maturity and independence to make a hugeee move like this! not only that, but it takes a lot of independence to feel confident living on your own in a city you haven't lived in since you were a teenager! dont sell yourself short💕 you're doing amazing!
So here’s my thoughts about your independence.
I’m 36 and a mom of a 12 y/o. When I was in labour I didn’t want the epidural, and the nurses told me something that I’ve kept with me this entire time and applied it to other parts of my life.... “Don’t be a hero, take the epidural”. The point being, yes I’m a very strong very independent person and always have been. However, don’t make your life harder for no reason just to “be the strong one”.
So true. I didn't want it and then when my contractions started rapidly after I got induced, I got the epidural and enjoyed my labor much more than I was before lol
As a parent, I can assure you our worst nightmare is our children never needing us once they’ve grown up. There is a huge difference between asking for advice or help doing DIY and being dependent - you can live alone, you just don’t want to and that is the perfect balance. Xx
My parents at one point brought up that they were sad that I didnt ask for help with anything
Now i call them for everything
Mouse? Call dad
Tv acting weird? Call dad
Need to talk about my day? Call mom
Need to go to the hardware store? Call dad
Craft store? Call mom
😂
Wow I wished my parents felt this way. I'm extremely independent because I had to be from a young age. I'm 28 now. My mother doesn't care to help or just doesn't want to & my father isn't around. I think anyone should take the help they get! It's hard trying to do so many things alone at once honestly. It's nice seeing a different perspective from a parent ❤
As a parent also, I agree with you 100%
I totally agree! It’s also sometimes more fun and enjoyable doing things you don’t want to do with a loved one.
Totally agree!!
As someone who lost their mom girl let your parents help you. You will 100% never regret time spent with your parents, but will 100% regret not spending time with them. You are independent! It's just awesome to have such a close knit bond with your fam. Dont let anyone shame you for it.
I had the exact same thought! I lost my mom, don't have a Dad, my sisters live in Europe and I in CA. So she really should enjoy her parents/family while she can.
Also getting help, doesn't mean one isn't independent..
I was fully independent until I became disabled following a stroke after giving birth to my second born. I was the main breadwinner and moving in with my family was a shock to my system. But my mom sat me down and said, “this house will always be yours, and I will always be your mom no matter how old and independent you are. The things I do for you is not because I don’t think you can do it, it’s because I want to be useful in your life and doing it makes me feel a part of it. I am your mom and will always want you to come to me for anything”
If anything, I think you are more independent. Look at EVERYTHING that you have accomplished. You are maturing and realizing what really matters in your life and where you want to be and YOU are making it happen. Sound like an independent woman to me!!! I’m so proud of you Tara and you should be proud of yourself.
I don’t know how your parents are, but I spent a lot of years living away from my family and when I moved back, they wanted nothing more than to help with anything they could. Most parents love being a part of your life even if it is just helping you build furniture.
thats how it is for us! my parents are THRILLED to have me back here that they are more than happy to help with literally anything, it's really nice to have!
My mom lives with me. I would not have it any other way. She has health issues and I'd rather her live with me than in a home.
Same I moved back home and my mom and grandma loves it so much
"me not doing everything on my own doesnt mean im not independent anymore" id put that in your one line a day book!
Great advice! Little pearl of wisdom!
I don't think at 25 there's something called losing your independence, you're independent enough to share responsibilities which i think is being super-wise, grateful, blessed and lucky enough to do so. Don't worry about it love ❤️
Lol when she’s convincing herself it’s okay to be lazy, is the most Capricorn thing! 😂 love it!
Your dad is so cute when he doesn’t know he’s on the vlog like when he greeted you at the door lol ✨hellloooo✨😚
You’re not losing your independence! Having a support system doesn’t make you codependent or weak. It makes you healthy and happy. Please know the majority of us are just so happy for you and love watching you shine.
I haven't finished the video but I just wanted to say: IT'S OK to feel overwhelmed and everything you're feeling is 1000% valid, you're not losing your independence, you're not going backwards, I honest to god think all of the choices you have made these past few months have been so fucking realistic and responsible and really taking a step back and thinking about your future and making choices towards building your possible future life. Like most people don't do this, they just go along with life until eventually they realize 10 years passed by them... And that scares me way more than making conscious decisions and testing the ground like you are. So honestly Tara you're doing GREAT and you're making very logical intelligent decisions and taking advantage of your possibilities so YAY ❤️.
My dad died in 2015 and I miss that little "projects" we have been doing together so much. He was a carpenter and could built amazing things and I was his assistant as long as I can remember. He loved to help me out at home improvement. Literally. It's so sad I can not ask him for advice now and work together with him. It's definitely not losing our independence when our dad's (families nearby step in when we are in need of help. 💗🙂
the apartment is coming together soooo well. i was so sad when you were leaving your LA house for canada because i love it so much but this new apartment is soo amazing
a bar cart in the middle window would be so cute and fill out that empty space! i agree it’s coming together so well! i love the toronto vlogs 🥰 i’m from here as well so i know exactly how you feel when looking out at the sunsets every night
girlll you should get some twinkly lights and put them above your window in the living room 👀 the vibes would be even more immaculate ✨
I use my hair dryer to get stickers off. It melts the adhesive and peels right off! 😉
That's a fantastic tip!
Rubbing alchohol and nail polish remover works well also. Just need to be careful with the polish remover if there is a coating on the surface.
I gave the same blow dryer tip, not realizing I was late to the party 😝 I use that method often. Easy peasy.
@@reneeboronka hey, better chance of more people seeing! Yes! Easy peasy! 😁
Came here to say this! Thought I'd check the comments first before I did. :)
Girl, having family near by is such an amazing opportunity! You’re FINDING your independence while still having the blessing of having them nearby. It’s a new season for you, you’re not going backward 😘
Tara‘s editing is on another level of amazing!! Her editing is what I strive to acheive 🥺🥺
omg we like the same youtubers omg u did a collab with hope hayley ahhhh i love both of them and yours and i agree lol
I see you comment everywhere
Agree!!
Don't be hard on yourself, about getting occasional help . It's obvious that you are independent, and Bossed-up . Your parents are a sweet blessing to you; and they have more experience .
You're independent - you own a house and an apartment girl! Building furniture alone is also very boring so having 2 sets of hands just makes the process easier and more fun. Btw loving the vlogs
I don’t understand the “losing your independence” part. You’re fully living on your own and are just closer to family. That’s exactly what family is for 🤍 don’t let it get to you. Is a beautiful thing some people don’t have. You’re thriving & it shows!
Maybe put the rug in your bedroom and get another for the living room
Yes,put it in your bedroom. Xx
Good idea!!!!
Tara, none of this means you're losing your independence, honey. You are the age you are, with TWO homes, + an amazing career! I don't know many people who can say that. There's nothing parents enjoy more, especially fathers, than helping their children + feeling needed. That is a HUGE gift to THEM, + an absolute help for you. A true gift for both. And quality time spent together as well...heaven. You sweet Dad is the same one that said he'd cry if you moved back home. He LOVES spending every moment he can with you. No matter what you're doing + no matter how short the time may be. Let them help. Just because you CAN do everything on your own, does not mean you SHOULD. =) We all know how self sufficient + capable you are. Never worry about that. Spend + enjoy EVERY moment with those you love. None of us are promised tomorrow + NEVER have any regrets. I left my only home in LA too, to follow my parents to Texas. They live 15 minutes away from me + I wouldn't have it any other way. Do I miss LA sometimes? Of course. But I would miss them more + I need to be a phone call away, not a plane ride. We can always go back + visit, but "home" is where you belong. Hope this helps your heart a little bit. You are winning at life + everyone is so proud of you! Huge hugs from this California girl, now living in Texas. =) xo
Uh.. I'm 33 with my own condo and I'm constantly asking my dad to help me with things!
It is a luxury ❤️ Always take the help especially from your parents. Not all of us are fortunate enough to count on our parents. you are so lucky 💕
you’ve proved you can do it in your own for doing it for 7 years. you are independent and you don’t have to prove that to anybody. liev your liev with you parents while you can!
I feel like me being at such a young age Tara has made me learn a lot just by watching her videos it’s made me independence myself and take an initiative into actually living my life and I’m so grateful
Anyone else really loving the vlogs?! It is really helps me decompress after a stressful day! ILY Tara!
Also: get a fiddle leaf fig for next to your tv.
I lost my dad 1.5 years old ago. It was very sudden out of no where. It really changes the way you look at life and what’s important. There’s so many times I go to pick up my phone to call my dad to ask his advice or his opinion and it’s just not an option. I wish I would have done it more while I still could have. Having your dad come help isn’t taking away your independence. It’s not struggling unnecessarily. You could put that together by yourself but why struggle if you don’t need to. To prove a point your independent? Who are you trying to prove it to? I completely understand what you mean but 1. It’s someone helping you because they can. 2. When that option is gone you will wish you took it up a lot more while you could. I’m not just saying your dad I’m it’s everyone who important to you. You got to go have the time of your life in la don’t ever regret it but maybe now your priorities have just shifted. 🤷🏼♀️
i legitimately wait every MWF for these i love them so much 😭 they calm me down and make me feel like i’m living through you from staying inside all day doing school work
I tear up at almost every vlog because I'm just soo happy for her 🥺
Tara, I really hope you see this
I think it’s great that you are spending time with your family. If I had a close family unit to hang out with and do small things together, I would. That’s what family is for. Doing fun things together is great, but also doing nothing together and enjoying each other’s company is another level of your relationship. Your independence is you owning a house, having a great job, your own company, moving across country on your own as a teenager! You’re as independent as one can be. Spend time with your family and enjoy the little things together while you have them. All the rude comments are people just bitter that they don’t have the same 🤍
I am 32 and my dad is coming over tonight to put my office chair together.....he is my go to man for all my furniture projects. I love you papa!!
A blanket ladder would look great to the left of the TV 💕💕💕
OOOHHH yes!!!!
Pls, whats a blanket ladder?
@@laurehartmann303 a ladder on which you hang blankets.... 🤣 Google it 💕
Hi Tara I am usually a silent watcher of your vlogs. I have watched from the very beginning. I wanted to comment about having your dad help you. I am a mom and as a parent there is nothing like the great feeling of helping your child. You are such an incredibly smart beautiful and independent young woman. It is ok to need and ask for help especially from a parent we love it. It makes us feel like you still need us. There is nothing greater than family and the time and memories made together. Love ya girly.
Girl you're doing great. Everything's going to make sense one day. Wish you the best
I think the people who asked why you didn’t build the furniture by yourself, should just shut up honestly. There is nothing better than having your parents and family help you with stuff, and it’s your family I highly doubt they wouldn’t want to help. My parents love when I ask for help and they never say no when I ask for help even though they could and they even offer to help without me even asking. I’m sure your parents are thrilled you’re back and helping you out just makes them apart of your daily life that they have missed out on when you were in LA. Don’t listen to anyone that says otherwise, you do whatever is easiest for you❤️
You said it perfectly at the end. Your parents helping you out does not make you lose independence. Independence is not about building things by yourself and not asking for help if you need it, like it seems so many people believe.
a 20 minute vlog is ✨heaven✨ love u tara and ur videos!!💗💗
I’m 28, live with my partner, is very independant AND I still get my dad to do things. At the end of the day it’s more about spending time with your loved ones as opposed to getting them to do stuff whether you’re able to or not. I think it’s also because you’re not used to it too. Love you ❤️
Tara, i love how down to earth you are, you have truly made this quarantine much better with these back home videos. So proud of you keep enjoying life with your amazing family.
I'm about to turn 28 and this year has made me realize how important family is and being near them despite all the COVID crap helps me deal with the awkwardness and wonder of my late 20s. I'm just a stranger on the internet but you seem so much happier being back home there. Making that choice is so strong for someone around our age and I applaud you for it. You don't have to figure it all out right now, just take it one day at a time!
omg the start of decorating anything is like a black hole. I feel like I'll get one item and then I'm like I also need this and this AND IT NEVER ENDS!!!
Hey Tara!😊💜 I am a huge fan! You wont understand how much you have meant to me through this pandemic! Just seeing someone else , you know, having a difficult time figure out life too. Has helped with understanding that everyone struggles sometimes and i am not alone in this! ☺Your appartment is coming together so nicely . It is incredeble to see how this move has impacted you😄. You are litterly shining now that you are back in canada💖😇! Keep up the good work, girl! You are amazing!💖😺
ngl as a 21 yr old south african in a small town i am living VICARIOUSLY through you!😂 loving the vlogs!
Don’t ever think your family helping out isn’t you being dependant ! Family is forever and they’re always there to help you no matter what it is. Never feel that way Tara ! You’re a great person ! Love your vlogs !
I just want to say for those viewing from other places, that LA is very much a "normal" city too - with natives, and generations of families, and people that grow old here. I think what happens with a lot of people that move here chasing a dream is that they get caught up in that "media/capitalistic" scene that can be very superficial and not satisfying in the long-run. No hate, just an observation that I've made in people that eventually chose to leave back home.
Independence is not never needing help... it’s the ability to make decisions for yourself based on your own ideas. Your family showing you love and sharing these experiences with you is exactly why you moved out there. You’ve had years of doing everything on your own. Enjoy your time reconnecting with your family, whether it’s dinner, building furniture, or however helps you feel loved.
For those stickers that leave residue you need Goo Gone - works great!! I definitely know it's on Amazon. Good luck!!!
thank you!!!
Agree! Goo Gone is amazing!
nail polish remover works well too! or use a hair dryer and then peel it up
Lol I commented this and then saw your comment afterwards. Oops.
@@taniaaramirezz lol Great minds think alike! 🤗
You’re NOT losing your independence at all! You’re finally able to have your parents be there and help you with ‘little things you could do yourself’ but that’s what’s so great about it. You’re spending time with them and making memories with them even if it’s just them coming over to help you figure out how to ship a rug back!! Don’t let anyone tell you you’re losing your independence because you’re spending time with your family. I love you!
"Not quite 50 shades" I'm DYING!😂
U will never lose your independence having your parents help you. As a parent myself believe me asking for help is not losing it. Asking for help shows how strong your independence actually is. It takes a lot of courage for people that are strongly independent to ask for such help and hey lets face it your parents secretly love it so let them have it you make them feel wanted and loved.
I think you're in a really good headspace to make a decision that could change the course of your life FOREVER. You've never seemed the happy, peaceful & settled as you do, right now. I've been watching you since you FIRST lived in Toronto, (actually followed u on tumblr too hehe). I may be biased because I'm also an Ontario gal, but there's something so lovely and wonderful about the province we call home. Hopefully you can make a decision & find true happiness
Honestly I am 34, married and have two kids and we lived in Florida for 9 years and just last year moved back closer to family and I totally relate to what your saying about your independence. I love seeing how happy you are. Keep up the amazing work! Thank you for always being you no matter what.
You should get an Egg chair for your patio!😁 That would be so fun! You could chill outside and enjoy the view.❤❤
Girl wtf!! You can have YOUR INDEPENDANCE, and still maintain a very close relationship with your family. Your family is there to help you, and if you don't have to do something alone, why would you!! How close you are with them is truly a blessing!
You can use a blow dryer to remove sticker “satisfyingly” just hold the dryer 3 inches away from the sticker for like 40 second to a minute and then you’ll be able to pull it off super duper easy!
You're super independent and just cause you are finally back in an area your parents are in, it is perfectly fine to have them help. It also looks like its been helping with your stress :)
I've just decided and moved back home recently also after living abroad for 10 years. I can totally relate to everything you say about getting older and realizing the important things in life. This pandemic really did us a favor from this point of view, put into perspective the important things we took for granted. Also many of my friends are moving back to their home countries and taking big decisions right now as well. It's a good time for change.
Enjoying having family near isn't losing anything. You live alone, but still see your family when you want. Best of both worlds!
Even if it might be hard in some ways moving back seems like the best choice. I really try to spend more time with my parents as I get older because honestly you never know how long they will be here !
You have not lost your independence!! You are a self-sufficient, independent woman! Having family help out is part of family life you were without for 6 years now you appreciate and enjoy your life back with them and if they asked you for anything you would help out in a heartbeat! Please just enjoy this new stage of your 20’s you are on point!! Smart girl. Much love
Just wait till you have a Christmas tree !
Tara, you went to Canada and within 3 weeks, you had your own apartment, that's pretty independent to me! You haven't had your parents around the corner for 6 years, enjoy having them to HELP you, it doesn't make you any less independent, it just makes life a hell of a lot easier having your family around you 😍🥰
you’ve been one of my favorite youtuber for as long as i could remember. i love seeing you grow as a person and are so happy in canada ❤️
You can absolutely be independent and still hit your family up everyday to spend time together. Life is flying by and our parents are getting older. Every moment you get to spend with them is a gift- be it a full, wholesome family day, or just building Ikea furniture together. Don’t let anyone on the internet (or irl) try to convince you you’re any less independent than you are. You’re doing great Tara 💙
“No one really ever settles down in LA” this is what happens when non Californians glamorize LA. There’s more to LA than just the spots influencers know of.
lmao i was like i was born & raised here? my family settled here? don’t see myself ever leaving? 🌚
My mother passed away when i was 19 and i miss her everyday. i moved back to my home county last year after 30years and my uncle who has been like a dad has been such a help bringing things like tools and helping me set up my home . I realised that i had been missing out on this "parenting". My mental health is not good but this is really helping coming home.Also its been good for my uncle . We support each other . I bet having you around and doing thiugs for you is doing your parents the world of good. Take it from me this time is precious . Btw your posts have kept me going through some of my darkest times Thank you.
“Not quite fifty shades” 😂😂😳 “I’m not funny” 😂😂😂
As a mom myself and someone who moved multiple times in my 20’s you are NOT being co-dependent. You even being aware should be the first sign to yourself that you’re independent. Your parents seem like they love being needed still which is a blessing for both of you. You’re not living off of them, you’re not using them, you’re not expecting a handout from them, and you’re not going over there every waking second, get out of your head! You’re doing amazing! Also, your dad had the tools you didn’t so that’s why it helps to ask for help!
Omg you're 26, not 50. I'm 41 things are always changing and will continue to do so...just live your life
Chill dude
@@mejustchillin6495 chill? How was that hostile "dude"? I'm saying she shouldn't worry about it, just do her...
I’m 24 and I bought my first home last year. I live 7 minutes away from my parents and they literally both have keys to my house. My dad is always here to help me with everything. Building, fixing, painting, etc. Some people pay to have those things done. Our parents do it for free. Unless they’re washing your clothes and dishes, I consider you still veeery independent☺️!
Tara I found your wine glasses at T.J.Maxx this morning for $12! 😍
There’s nothing wrong with you having your family help you out with stuff. They’re your family and it’s wonderful that you can rely on them to help out with stuff. You’re still independent at all and you’re living it up. I’m so happy for you!!
Watch Vampire Diaries on amazon prime for Canada! That's where I watch it :)
Girl seriously soak up every little tiny ounce of your parents!!! Do not allow anyone to tell you otherwise! I’d do ANYTHING to have my dad back with me on this earth. ❤️ Also... you have brought me so much joy. I feel like you’ve helped me find my joy again. You are sooooo happy in Canada and you can tell there is so much joy and happiness within you. I’ve followed you for so long - you’ve always been happy but now... you seem so sparkly. 😘 never change and hug your dad for a gal who can’t hug hers. Xoxox
Posting this comment again in case you didn’t see it on your last vlog, I really think you’ll love this rug i’m suggesting!
TARA! Search “White Double Diamond Lattice Shag Area Rug”!!! It’s SO cute and is a similar vibe to what you ordered but it’s a very crisp white so it’s definitely cooler tone like you want! I promise it’ll look so good! Hope you see this! 🥰🥰
Omg you’re not loosing your independence just because you’re getting help from your dad/family once and a while. It’s nothing wrong with reaching out. It’s great that you have them close to you. Besides, you still live on your own, working and paying the bills, taking care of yourself etc etc that’s independence ;)
Why did I just find your leopard jean jacket on alibaba for $11? And you sold it to us for $80?
absolutely not lmao, I actually had a girl DM me YESTERDAY saying she bought "the same jacket" off another boutique and she got completely scammed. not the same jacket at all, it was so cheap and looking nothing like the photos.
if you'd like to take the risk and buy the "same" jacket for $11 off a site like alibaba, go right ahead but then don't come at me later saying wow yeah my bad lol
honestly having your parents there and being close to your family is not losing your independence. your parents are there to help with anything you are unsure of at any age, in any chapter of life. being close to family and having that bond is better than most things in life. I have recently lost one of my parents and regret distancing myself from them. every moment counts and it's more memories that you'll have when you look back.
Nothing wrong with having family helping you. That is what family is for. To be there for each other anytime!
Having your family help is definitely not losing independence. Your spending quality time with them and I guarantee they love to be able to come help you whenever they can now. 🥰
You aren't losing your independence. I feel like this is more of you gaining more to life. You are doing the things you needed to do to continue a life of happiness. In ten years , will it matter that you had your parents help you do things or will you just be like "I am happy to have had those memories with them." ? I have lost a parent and a brother and let me tell you, if I could have them come over to help me put in a lightbulb I would. Enjoy these moments and realize that independence isn't about the help you recieve but possibly about the help you are able to give. Tara, as an old subscriber, I genuinely haven't seen you this happy in some time. Don't overthink the little things and just enjoy them. Sending all of my love, xx.
You are not losing your independence at all! That is what family is all about! I’m extremely independent...have been all my life and I still need a little help from my family every once in a while. You are doing great and the best thing is you seem genuinely happy!! Trust me I’m old lol!
The memories you make building furniture with your dad completely outweigh the thought of loosing your independence. You are still an independent woman living your best life girl! But you get to have your dad help you and make memories with you, which is for sure a luxury. don’t let any comments from people make you feel less then. I’m so happy for you! Do what makes you happy.
I’m 28 and my parents still help with so much and I’m not ashamed to lean on them when I neeed to. You’re so independent don’t let people think you’re becoming anything less
Having you parents help you with stuff doesn’t mean that you are losing your independence. Don’t let anyone make you believe otherwise. I mean its awesome to be close to family and spend time with them. And you seem way happier now! 💕
You honestly seem so much happier in Canada. Regardless that your doing the same amount of work, you just have this peaceful vibe. I definitely think this big move is something you really needed. So happy for you and to see you doing so good. 😊💜
If your mom or dad called you for help you be right there for them! That's what families do. You are not losing your independence you are just blending and bonding with your family! Just sit back and treasure the fact that you have a mom and dad that you can always be with!
Your new apartment looks so nice! Also, the view is INCREDIBLE ✨ You are definitely not losing your independence by accepting help from your parents! I'm 100% sure that they love it that you're living so much closer to them now and they are able to help you! But I get how you're feeling, I'm 23 and I've needed my parents' help when I've moved houses and I still ask for my mom's advice on so many things - and that's okay ❤️ Ahh your vlogs make me miss Toronto so much! I live in Finland and I traveled to Toronto three years ago. I reaaally wanna go back, my absolute favorite city I've travelled to
Please don't think that you are loosing your independence by having your family help you with things. At the end of the day, you are making memories and you never know when that may be all you have! You have been without them for so long, take every second you can get :)
Be thankful you have your parents and family close by and you AREN'T losing your independence just because you ask for help. FAMILY is so very important. Enjoy them . . Life is to short . . I'm glad you are blessed to be able to be closer to your family. I'm sure they love having you close by as well. The apartment looks AWESOME !!! God bless you and keep posting such positive vlogs !!!! 😊
Tara don't let people get in your head!! Being close to fam and them helping you out with stuff does not mean your depending on them for everything. It means you have a great support system at your disposal and by all means use it when you need to!! 👍👍
Not even CLOSE to losing your independence babe. If anything it’s the dead opposite!! You hold two properties in two different countries, and are doing that all by yourself. That’s a wild accomplishment. Having family close by is the best feeling ever, especially when you haven’t had that in a long time. Enjoy it!!! You’re killing it. ❤️
They just keep getting better!!! Love it here you’re vlogs are calming to me it’s like a kid with adventure, new wine to try decor and clothing hauls mixed all into one! And Amazon of course love that because I’m a faithful Amazonian shopper
Girl I can tell you from personal experience your Dad enjoys you asking for help. He loves being able to be your Dad again I can assure you of that. Dont let peoples opinions affect your life and enjoy the extra hands you now have. Of course you could do it by yourself but why not spend quality time with family as well? Youre doing great girl im so happy youre happy 💓
