    My husband and I are going through a separation right now. As devastated as I feel about the situation I’m excited to be getting my own place and decorating it exactly how’d I’d like! I haven’t lived alone in 9 years and I’m excited to explore and let my love of Ghibli, Sailor Moon and colour explode all over the apartment 💕

      Same happened to me two years ago (and it was a nine-year relationship too!). The idea of transforming my own little space just for me was a happy thought that got me through, and it's truly such a joy to make a place entirely your own. Best of luck, you got this!!

      I'm so sorry you are going through this. my dad really struggled when my parents separated. he hadn't lived alone since college. he's now happily remarried, but he still readily admits how lonely that time was. but he doesn't regret it, because it was an opportunity to learn how to love himself again after years of a painful marriage and mental illness. whatever happens with your marriage, please remember that you deserve so much love and nothing can change that. and I know from my own experiences that decorating a space just how you want makes you feel so much more at home and it's easier to love yourself in that space. so go wild with your decorating. the only person that you need to make happy is you, and you deserve it.

I still can't look over the photos of him without being a total wreck. Spugy was 100% like that for her and it's just amazing to me that she's able to find his picture as a source of comfort continuing in her current life. Grief is a journey. It's easy to get stuck.

    As an autistic person with h-EDS I think your appartment is so lovely, homely and sensory friendly. The bath is perfect for us people with EDS because of our temprature regulation control issues in our body and the lights you put on at the end were so aesthetically pleasing too! I have a projector that gives a similar effect to that in my living room and have a white noise machine that plays calming music. It creates such a vibe and helps to wind down from a busy day of trying to do chores and work on projects.

    I mUST say, it seems like you've been working a lot on taking yourself more seriously as an artist and creator. You've always been nothing but professional and creative, but I like seeing you focus on the creative parts as what you're making as THE content. As a singer and songwriter myself, I empathize deeply with doing things you enjoy but being so seemingly dedicated to one path and career that entertaining the idea of "becoming a musician" or "Becoming an artist" of any kind is irresponsible and not the "adult thing" to do. You've always advocated for this ideology even if indirectly through your character, but it's -I think- been a lot more focused and intentional recently. Refined and self-fulfilling in a sense. So proud of you! That ladder's getting tall!! It's been an honour to watch you find yourself!

You really taught me to enjoy the little tiny wonders in life over the last several years and I'm immensely grateful.

I love all the details you put in each space - cultivating a warm environment - it’s crazy how much lighting can help. Anyway much love to you - have been following your journey for years now and am so happy to see you continuing to create and make beautiful things and bring more joy to a turbulent world.

    This video made me appreciate my space. It took me 5 years to live by myself and I love every corner of my tiny house.
    Thanks Martina for sharing you cute space.

    I'm moving to Japan next year once I graduate. I always get asked how I do things alone, I really find solace in my own company. This video has made me even more excited to start my own journey and build my own ladder and have the independence I've always wanted. Your apartment is lovely and all over you. I can't wait to do the same. You're doing great Martina.

      Yes! 100% agreed. I’ve had a few nights of rough sleep (thanks, toddler twins. LOL) and I woke up cranky today. This absolutely helped me recenter and feel calm drinking my morning cup of coffee. I appreciate her videos so much.

    This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing home tours I’ve ever seen! Beautifully shown details without any big grand sweeping gestures that might overlook the gorgeous light showing through the curtains. It’s also a great way to show your home without showing too much (I.e., I really couldn’t tell what your overall floor plan was like, but still felt like I was given a very personal tour). Such a lovely home, I’m so happy for you, Martina! 💟🐷🦄🌸

      I do have a small bedroom, it’s quite dark so the twinkle lights in the living room have a matching pair in the bedroom cover one entire wall. I also bought a 3D printed moon for the ceiling that acts as my room light, but it’s quite diffused and just moody more than a light 🌙 I’ve made it an analog only room, no phone, no computers allowed.
      I have a record player with a little speaker attached for music 🎶

    Your apartment has such a cozy vibe! I was smiling throughout the entire video and it gave me some inspiration to try and make my apartment a bit more "mine", I moved about four months ago but I still live among cardboard boxes and I really want to make it feel more like my place. Thanks for the tour! ❤ (Also love the galaxy lamp. I've got one too and I especially love having it on when I'm having a bad anxiety day!)

You are so awesome and I just hope you have a good day if you see this. Also, I follow your mantra of building a ladder. I have real bad anxiety and depression, and doing small things to help lift oneself out of it when things are super rough definitely helps. Luv u girl! 💕🌸

I even keep mini milk/yogurt bottles too 😂 I would wash them and dry them. Then, I'll keep all my stationery, sticky pads, clips, cables, etc. in them! I mean like, how could you not keep them?! They are so freakin' adorable! 💗 I always thought I was weird cause people would often laugh at me for keeping them! So glad I'm not the only one ☺🙌

    Hi martina 💗! I am so grateful for your long library of work in asia that helped inform me of the big life decision of whether to move abroad with chronic illness or not. I can never repay you for how much that helped and sincerely, thank you. I have to say I needed to step back from watching for a while since all the shenanigans happened... and being a kid who grew up with toxicly divorced parents and just about life long abuse... i just couldn't have the gratitude and appreciation i have for your work get entangled in a bad situation. I didn't want to take sides, or anything, just stopped and treated it like a parallel storyline for a certain chapter in my own life. This is the first video or anything I've seen. And i have to say, I don't regret it. I can just be happy for you in making a new peaceful place in this chapter of your life. Funny enough, I'm kinda doing the same myself too. Seems the parallel storyline lives on. ✌️

  • @Trippy_Space_Bunny

    I love it! And I'm exactly the same when it comes to lights. I have 4 little snuggle corners in my house and they are all set up like this in different themes (psychedelic & hippie (with a Scandinavian flair), cyberpunk & vaporwave, pastel paradise, and dark gothic nighttime). Depending on which head space I'm in dictates which corner you'll find me in. But every single one of them is decked out with little figures and such with a whole host of lights and projectors. I'm working on getting more art for them and in the case of the computer corner (cyberpunk and vaporwave) I am looking at getting a neon wall light. The dayroom (pastel paradise) is particularly gorgeous in the evening with pink and purple lights everywhere, i even have a hanging crescent moon light.
    Love the whole thing about making little curated spaces for being able to actually enjoy living inside my house. Especially when it's hard to leave it very often due to health stuff.
    Hugs! I absolutely love this channel of yours, every video is an absolute treat.

    Thanks for letting us in. It was a beautiful tour not only in how it was shot and edited but also in how pretty your home is. I hope you don’t mind not receiving an invite into my space *pushes box away with foot discreetly* for it is currently in a state of unravel *hides duster in back pocket of my jeans* and I’m just not quite ready to share *casually grabs yellow and black caution tape and starts taping it to door frame* it with anyone yet. But all is good, all is fine, nothing messy and chaotic to see here…. You’ve certainly inspired me though. It’s so nice seeing a fellow adult not allowing herself to be boxed in by expectations of what an adult’s room ‘should’ look like. It’s okay to like cute and comforting things and display those things. Your videos are always a great reminder of this. I have a closet full of rilakkuma, sumikkogurashi, and all things adorable, but I just don’t know how to set it all up and sometimes feel silly in wanting to. But I shouldn’t because they make me happy.

    What a beautiful living area. Everything's absolutely adorable and cozy. I like the idea of having little figurines everywhere but how do you clean areas with them when they get dusty? It seems like kind of a pain to have to pick all of them up and individually wipe them down, especially when you have many in different areas
