LIVING IN NEW YORK: REAL TALK | Louise Cooney 

I emigrated to Toronto at 29, for me the greatest struggle were the winters. Having come from London and the South coast of England nothing could've prepared me for the long extremely cold winters. I was homesick and cried buckets and have also been diagnosed with SAD ( seasonal affective disorder ). Please invest in a really good parka with a hood that is - 20C + proof and waterproof boots with good grip soles so you can walk on the ice & thermal gloves. Lots of thin layers in winter and cashmere is the best! You're doing great and all your feelings are completely normal for such a huge change and adjustment . Best wishes.

I think you are extremely brave to go live in another country on your own. You've done so well to get your apartment to look so good in such a short time. I loved New York when I visited a few years ago, and you are so right the Top of the Rock has the most amazing views. Good luck in everything you do xx

your New York cry ;( ;( going a month was good going! I cried all day my first day lol! So amazing meeting you properly!

You are really doing great, we all get a little nervous when we make a bold move but you have what it takes! Wishing you the best 😊💛

It was sad to see you cry Louise, you’re doing so well, apartment is looking so nice. You’re making friends and work will follow for sure, keep your head up lovely you’ll soon be home for Xmas, enjoy the fall & Halloween and the time will go just like that. Loved the vlog so helpful the mental health chat, xxx 💕👍🏻🍀

Chin up!! You're DOING this, day by day, kid!!! Love your channel!!!

It's really nice to see u settle in wishing you all the best

Looking forward to seeing the bar cart, love the rug & pops of pink in your apartment, it was great to see The Top of the Rock with you and well done for getting back to the gym it will help with anxiety etc 🥰💕👌🤩

Heads up you can do Amazon returns without a printer. Just start your return on your account, click on "drop off at a UPS store", and they'll email you a barcode. Then head to a UPS store, tell them you have an Amazon return, they scan the barcode and that's it. You don't even have to have any packaging, they'll package it for you for free. Love watching your vlogs while I'm working,

Love your content Louise keep going you’re doing great❤️💋

Love your vlogs and your apartment is looking so good 👌💕

Love your apartment! Can’t wait to visit New York sometime 🇺🇸🗽

You can use pictures rails for storage above the toilet. It’s the perfect width for skincare/ foundation bottles etc. you can get them at ikea or target and they are very easy to mount :-)

Hi, I suggest using clear or white command hooks to arrange your fairy lights 🤓

Love your vlogs 💖💖💖💖💖💖 the apartment is looking 👌👌 maybe get a couple of bigger plants, one for the bedroom windowsill and one where the stool’s gong next to the long length mirror ?? I feel like having a good few plants in a home gives it such life and vibrancy 👍 sending much love fro Wales xxxxx 🤗❤️ keep up the good work xxxx

Well done, looks fab ❤️

Louise I'm loving your videos! For Godsake mind yourself walking around at night tho. Giving me a heart attack! I love New York. Was there in summer. You are so lucky to live there! Xxxx

For your samples, try ikea iron mesh rolling baskets and adding clear draw organizers.

Love your videos..more please!

Louise you’re such a lovely beautiful person , inside and out 💕

Hello Louise, I enjoy your videos! A good cry is ok...your apt is lovely.

Adore your vlogs!!!!!!!. Especially thus one as we get to hear you chat for longer ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅

Love your blogs, I feel I want to fly to New York to mother you xxx

Love to watch your vlog .See you growing and wishing you the best👍👍👍🏋🏻‍♂️🤸‍♀️❤️❤️

Helpful additions: need a brita/pur/culligan water filter pitcher (target), costco or sam club memership for groceries, small kitchen island or pub style table with backless pub chairs from ikea. The island has shelves for extra storage snd you can hid what is underneath with cloth baskets and by pinning(thumbtacks) or gluing fabric/cloth napkins in cream or same color of your decor. Small but long rectangle rug in kitchen separates and elongates kitchen. Yoy can also place camera on island/pub table for videos? Enjoy

I thought you did a great job with the wire cover for the tv. 👍🏼

From my point of view you are extremly pretty and charming - almost perfect! Keep going girl. The future will be bright.

Amazon does label-less returns at UPS and Kohls so you don't need to have a printer to print the return label

I am so jealous. I would love to live in NY. You have such a cool/lovely apartment

I'm Irish from the suburbs of Dublin and it can feel quite suffocating sometimes growing up in a small community with not that much freedom so it's really cool to watch your videos and think of the places I can go to & I'm already planning on travelling and maybe moving to NYC when I'm 18😊

Saw you on Nationwide Louise , best of luck to you.👍👍

Amazing video ! You got my subscribe ❤️❤️

love your videos

Another lovely vlog. 😃👍. Would have loved links to your Zara items, your OUTFITS, etc. Bit frustrating if you show outfits but don’t link the pieces or even say where they’re from. 😟😉😊. Glad you’re feeling more settled! Lovely apartment!

Gorgeous apartment! Can i ask how much you are paying per month? I am looking to move to NY and just want to get an idea of pricing x

Love your space! How much do you pay for that one bedroom? It's a great size. Thanks!!

The TV is on the wrong wall, it should be where the long mirror is, and put the desk underneath it, and put the mirror where the TV was;; the bar cart can then go where the desk was😜😜😜👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤓🤓

Hey Girl! I want to save your little plant. There's absolutely no light where you put it. It's the darkest point of the apartment. A plant needs light to survive..... Please, please put it near the window...... You will see how it grows and changes... It's a really pleasant feeling :)

Whatabout the farmers market or coop grocery stores in nyc?

You should contact class pass for work!

What a great life you have there what is your actual job work? Dressing up shopping eating out doing emails? Just a bit confused here excuse my ignorance. Dublin woman here still living and loving life in a small seaside town x

So now everyone knows where you live😜😜😜😜💁🏽💁🏽💁🏽💁🏽🙆🏽🙆🏽🙆🏽Having a good cry is therapeutic; and harem pants are back😜👍🏾👍🏾

I liveee for your vlogs Louise 🥰💜

You should try to shop in cheaper neighborhoods =) As a girl from Brooklyn, you gotta find the bargains 🤣😂

Come take class at solidcore! :)

Awh 😥

There is an amazing Instagram page headfirst0 that's run by a mental health professional that covers alot of topics or mental health, like helping someone that is going through depression and loads more 💕
