living alone in NYC: deep cleaning & organizing my apt, in my independent era, & apartment hunting! 

Okayyy, first of all, this brand IS CRAZYYY to drop you out like that! The content you've been given us, has been amazing & don't you ever doubt yourself! They are just missing out💓 I'm sure you're gonna have even more ICONIC brand deals in the future! You've achieved so much, & we ain't seen half of it yet! Love you Lena 🧚🏻‍♀️

Not skipping ads because you deserve a one bedroom apartment asap 🫶🏼

I know you’ve been having a hard time with RU-vid but we’ve missed you and are happy to see you and pika back!

We love you Lena and we are here to support you always, your content is bomb by the way.

Dear Lena, when I was going through a difficult slump last year, I commented and you replied calling me a QUEEN. I was so touched. Now I'm telling you - You're a QUEEN. So inspiring. It's OKAY to feel sad, but just know you are LOVED. x

I’m a firm believer that whenever one door closes, tens of better ones open. Better brand deals will come in the future and we can’t wait to celebrate them with you. Also, I just peeped 😅 and congratulations on your new management 🎉. Lena, we will continue to root for you and your success over and over again ❤❤

12:15 That Part! Appreciate that "Cup Of LeaN-a" Str8 TaLK! Cheers "BiG You-Too-BuH!" 🥃🥃

i definitly cried at the end. just lost a job that i put so much hard work into but the grind cant stop. appreciate the encouragment lena

Lena do not give up , with all the Ls you get you learn from them , still be consistent many other brands will see you and you’ll even love working with them more than previous brands . Keep going girl ! You got this ! Life will always be ‘Lifing’ ! Make the best of it 😅

Nah because I've been checking my RU-vid since yesterday waiting for you to post😭😭😭💗✋🏽 I'm so happy you're back to postinggggg🤭🤭💗also am I the only one or pika looks bigger and cuterrrr😭she's eating gooood😭🤭✋🏽💗

ahhhh queen lena has posted a cleaning video because she knows i need to clean my room today 😂

Look at my Lena living her best life, independently, in New York City of all places. Not an easy place to make it in your own and most people can’t do it. Don’t forget how far you’ve come during those tougher times ❤

You are one of the most wholesome youtubers I watch! And very inspirational. Why RU-vid would demonetize you is beyond me! Don't let them get to you girl, they are probably just jealous because your fans love you so much! Stay strong girl! The numbers, the clicks, they don't make you. YOU make YOU!

literally dropped everything for a new video from my queen!!! OMG girl, you already know, ily! your videos literally make my whole day! babe i'm actually back from college so i would love to catch up with you in nyc!!! girl ilysm and you always push all of us to strive for the best!!

omg you posted again!! I’m sorry about the brand and the demonetization of your last video, but just know the real ones are always here and excited to watch ur vlogs 🥰 on another note, I’m currently in my room rn and seeing how clean your room is…. It’s motivating me to clean🥹 AND U SHOULD TOTALLY DO MORE CONTENT WITH MAI. dynamic duo right here😍😍 (maybe pika will become friends with sterling lol)

NAH CUZ WHY IS RU-vid AND THESE BRANDS DOING YOU DIRTY IMMA FIGHT THEY ASSES. Maybe you can upload clips of your RU-vid videos to your Tik tok so they get more exposure maybe!!! Since it's a bit more easier to get exposure on their than RU-vid at times with the fyp versus RU-vid homepage !!! Cuz your videos are awesome they deserve all the attention and recognition !!!!!

Hey Lena! I just found your channel a week ago, and I’ve already watched SO MANY videos haha. Your content is so positive and enjoyable to watch and I’ve loved every video. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you for who you are and give you back a little positivity for all the positivity your channel has given me this week. I hope the issue with youtube gets fixed soon! Also, I wanna be a real one, so I’m subscribed and like all the videos haha ;)

I’ve been subscribed and watching your channel for 2 years 🤍 I’ve never commented but I felt today it was necessary to tell you that your channel has made such an impact on my life. Thank you for always being yourself & being vulnerable with us. You are bomb don’t let anyone ever tell you any different. Sending love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦♥️

This sounds nuts Lena I know but for your sty , rub your cats tail on it. It’ll go away 😂😂 it’s a remedy my mom dose hahaha

Pikaaaaa. I've never had a cat but she makes me want one lol. And dude, I feel your spring allergies pain. I'm in Iowa. Our pollen count has been 11.8 out of 12. LORD help me.

hope you ease out of your slump asap, sending love 🤍🤍

Pika is so beautiful 😍 ❤

Yes the afrobeats!!!!!...WHAT IS THE USE OF MY MONEYYYYY🙌✨

Lena plzzz more videos 🥺 love u so much❤❤❤

Your so genuine, authentic and your a great inspiration 😊

So weird, when you were touring an apartment for your friend, and chatting about looking at a 1bdrm, i thought you sounded really negative using statements like “not anytime soon, this is just a dream, maybe one day” and when i got to your pillow talk sesh at the end it sort of made sense. So, be super confident. Tell yourself you WILL be getting that new apartment, keep your eye on whats out there, do tours sometimes, manifest it happening. Get back to yourself soon. ❤

Hi how are you doing 😁😁🫶💞😘😘🥰💘😎💗💗🦋😍💕💋🌹💖❤️

So glad you took time to recover mentally. Unfortunately the feeling will return, but I’m glad you got over the hump this time! I missed your content 🥰🥰🥰😘❤️

I always called my room organized chaos. Its seems messy but can still find everything. Recently rearranged my whole room and its harder to find things now 😅

yayyy new lena video! love you girl, keep up the good vibes, you always inspire me ♡ ◡̈

A bit late but I caught that Rema in your jam session!! I’ve been jamming to him all day 😂 thank you for another wonderful vlog!! I also gotta start cleaning up especially since I’m moving after graduation so unfortunately it’s that time to start packing it up 😭💀 Will def be watching again to get my motivation back up! 💖

Okay but the editing in this video and transition to the cafe lena? 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 yessss come through. “Growth in life never comes from you being comfortable” yes. Absolutely. We love you so much lena and sending you all the love and support

Proud of you for being vulnerable and still pushing! An inspiration to us all ❤

Just finish watching the entire video. I love love the ending of this video. The lil motivation session, I definitely needed that. I needed to mind myself to keep pushing cause the result and rhe rewards at the end of that sacrifice/ heardwork is what's important.💯💯 Your video are the Absolute Best.💯💛💛 I love the editing everything. I just need longer videos. Like I wanted to see how you paired the black corset outfit even though I'm sure u looked 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Idk about u guys but I love those 20min 30min long videos🤣🤣 IDk. What I'm watch the video, I feel like I'm getting to send time with You. 🤗🤗 I appreciate how real u are. Like in the video I could see the pimples on your face and that made me feel good cause rn my acne is bad. N seeing my Favorite RU-vidr go through the same thing like me felt good, to know I have someone to relate too when I'm down.🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰 You are so Incredible.

hola nena me encantas tus videos ❤❤❤ aunque no se mucho inglés 😅 aun así no me los pierdo bendiciones ❤

Cleaning any living space is a whole workout in itself. Also, suggest trying flonase for those allergies ( and get an air purifier. )

GIRL SAME, I've been ready to rip my eyes out bc of these damn seasonal allergies, they're so bad this year and for WHAT?? Wishing your allergies feel better soon!!

Lol you listen to Nigerian songs more than my Nigerian self😭😭

Love from India 🇮🇳gurl get going try indian food hehe

How many scoops of oxyshread do you use i used one and I don’t feel anything

Please never ever give up and never ever let self-doubt stop you from achieving your dreams. I think social media gives most people a wrong perception of life. There is so much failure and hardships behind every success. Ups and downs are normal because Ws can only Co-exist with L‘s. So whenever you face hardships or L’s, never isolate and always surround yourself with the people who remind you of your goals and to stay strong! I wish you all the best from the heart because you are my favorite RU-vidr and I admire you so much for just being you! 🤍

Having pets definitely makes you want a bigger space! I have two dogs now and we are moving from a convertible to an actual one bed and I’m sure it’s going to be a huge difference. I love when you post 🥰

fire playlist as always!!!

I NEEED TO KNOW THE SONG PLAYING @7:17 !!!!!!!! Somebody help me please!!!!! 😩😩

love the fact that you vibing with some African tunes

Life can kick ass sometimes, it sucks. But honestly maybe things happen for a reason. And if you need to step back do so, take care of yourself and prioritize your well being. We are here when you're ready to come back, and we are proud of you. I'm very glad I found your channel thank you for being you and giving us all inspiration ❤️🍓

It is the second RU-vidr that I see that the same brand no longer sponsors her.

I relate with you so much when you mentioned the 3 views you get on your videos lol Thank you for the encouragement ❤ I’m ganna keep posting even though nobody’s watches 😅 love you!! Love Pika 😘

I think you look so dope with glasses Lena! Like they are cute on you ❤ I LOVE your cleaning videos thank you for your upload!!! We love you Lena always remember like your vlogs make my day!!!

It’s crazy how we watched pika grow. Love your videos girl and NY looks lit. Watching you from Chicago.

Even though she says it looks messy... my entire house looks like a hurricane passed through xD... there are 5 people living in my house but only my mom and I take care of the mess mostly the weekends it is sad ...I love this content it inspires me

Lenaaaa ily and love that pizza spot you went to 💌💌💌💌

Lena!!!!!!! We love you and will always be here to support you 💛💛💛 Your content is always fire🔥 The spring allergy is real its got me sniffing too much 😫😫😫

girl, not your chat making me cry.. thanks for sharing, being vulnerable, and motivating us

Lena you have a beautiful apartment to go along with the beautiful cat. Also your glasses look nice on you Lena. You such a clean person with a beautiful work ethic Lena sweetheart. I' will be here to support your next video as well Lena.

Love you Lena 🥰!! Been waiting for a new vid , motivation thank you !!

HI LENA SO NICE TO SEE YOU POSTING AGAIN ❤❤❤❤ CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN YOUR SLAY ERA BABE

haha beautiful people stay with other beautiful people.

Thanks for the little advice Lena..much love ❤keep pushing

Lena it happens to all of us!!! When something with work doesn’t work out or we get negative feed back or a project doesn’t go well it hits at this deep belief most people have of not being good enough. I’ve been watching you for years now and you always help me to push myself to show up for me I appreciate you and other influencers who do that for me. Please save this when you feel down! You help people find the balance of caring for ourselves and enjoying our life. Being an adult in this time period is a lot especially being a women of color be proud of yourself you’re making a difference no matter what brand sees it or not ❤️❤️❤️

Love the content Lena been following for a while now!

Lena, we all love you and will support you no matter what. RU-vid did you dirty on that last video but you will persist with your community!!!! Also, I must say, that white outfit you had on gurllll….designer Lena in da house 🔥🔥

Life is like a roller coaster, ups and downs but ends up same place. Cherish the moments life.

Lennaaaa so good seeing a vlog again you look amazing

Omg I just got on RU-vid to check if u posted a video im so happy ☺️☺️💗

those glasses actually really suit you :p

Back for motivation. I missed you soooo much!!!

rejection is redirection, if 1 brand didn't worked out, there are a lots of brands want to work with you Lena, don't worry. Love you the best 🥰😘

So cool that you and Mai are friends! ❤

I do the same thing with the tuna ! It’s healthy and fast and it’s good for energy

I recently found ur channel two weeks ago and ever since all I ever watched was ur videos especially during school whenever we have nothing to do but all I want to say is ever since I found ur channel I have been loving ur videos, I love ur positive vibes and how you bring good energy and advice to ur subscribers, you also inspire me so so much. I love you and ur channel and I’ll always be happy whenever you post, I wish you a great day

Well life has been throwing shade at me I pay rent and car with insurance like $1860. I cant refinance my care cause the bill is to high I have to file bankruptcy again to get my credit straight. I push through to see better days.

I love you Lena🥰 we got you through the good n bad we r family!!
