It’s Vlogmas and I’m finally getting my apartment into the Christmas spirit—because Christmas is my favorite time of the year, okay. In this vlog I take you with me while I do holiday shopping and a mini haul, trying to find the right vibe for my space. I hit TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Target, and yes… I realized late that I really should’ve checked Michaels sooner. I show what I already had (tree, ornaments, little tabletop tree) and what I still needed (lights, a topper, and a few individual ornaments to make it feel less “missing something”). When I get home, it’s full unwind mode: shower, wine, and then we decorate. I’m doing a simple color story—gold, black, and silver—and I’m not paying $30 for something I can literally DIY for $7. I break down how I used a $5 garland and $2 lights to get the same look, then we put the tree together and I show the final result montage (and yes, the camera tried to lie and act like one side wasn’t lit). To end the night, I make lasagna soup because TikTok made me do it—and I’m not even kidding, it came out so good I have to make it again. Cozy apartment, cute tree, good food… that’s the holiday vibe I’m on.
