1
Well, this is what you've been waiting for.
2
Well, hey babes, what is up?
3
It's Hailey and welcome back to my channel.
4
Today's video is one that a lot of you guys have been waiting for and oh my god, me too.
5
Ever since moving into a new home, I showed you guys a little glimpse at the chaos that's going on in my kitchen right now.
6
Let me tell you, unpacking, people say it's fun, but people don't talk enough about how much thought needs to go into everything, especially when you are organizing your space.
7
I've gotten to a point that everything is basically unpacked from boxes
8
but now it's just kind of stowed away in every place very messily.
9
There's no organization whatsoever and today I'm hoping to change that.
10
Let me just give you a little glimpse of what we're going to be tackling today.
11
All right, so we've got quite a bit of places here in the kitchen that I want to tackle today.
12
My pantry definitely, I mean that place is a mess.
13
We have one that's dedicated to more like snacky foods and one dedicated to true pantry foods.
14
And right now you could truly tell all I did was stuff everything in there, no organization to it all.
15
Let's be real, it's chaos.
16
Right over here, we've got our drawer dedicated to all of my kids' stuff.
17
Their plates, their cutlery, their bibs, silicone products, all of that.
18
I just want to make this so organized
19
that my girls can know to flock over here and grab whatever they need with ease.
20
So that will be on the mission today.
21
One of my most used spaces in my spice drawer, okay?
22
I've got a ton of spices because in our culture, we love to cook with a lot of flavor.
23
But there has to be a better way to organizing this because right now, I can't offer the life of me to see what anything is unless I pick it up.
24
So I've got some solution ideas for that.
25
But you may ask yourself, Haley, where are you going to start?
26
Is it even a question?
27
Your girl has not had a proper coffee in a couple of weeks.
28
So let's go ahead and tackle my coffee station.
29
Right now, I'm keeping my coffee machine right over there.
30
But ideally, I really wanted to move it to this section over here.
31
I've got these two shelves, which I think will be perfect at some point to display a lot of my cool mugs.
32
You guys know that I love thrifting mugs and just finding cool glassware.
33
Putting them face down over here, I think will be amazing.
34
Maybe even adding a little contraption here that I can use to hang stuff.
35
That's an option too.
36
But really I just want this to be an area where I can just grab
37
and go all my essentials in one place So guys, let's do it and let's get organizing
38
So the beauty of all this organizing you guys is
39
that there's just so many ways to go about it
40
And the best thing make sure
41
when you're doing your shopping wherever maybe you're keeping your receipts
42
Because there's a lot of different options
43
that I got for this like coffee area that I don't really know
44
which one will be the most functional for me So i'm gonna try some different things.
45
I have this pods organizer from amazon, which I thought would be really cool to hold all my nespresso pods
46
But then at the same time when I went at home, I saw this beautiful gorgeous jar I think it was like 12
47
and I thought that throwing all the pods in here may actually be easier for me
48
Because that way I don't have to open a drawer I can keep this right by my nespresso machine
49
and then same goes for the drawer inserts I got a couple of these white organizers
50
and then I have a few like bamboo ones as well
51
So without opening the packaging i'm just gonna put it around
52
and see what I like best and then once i'm set on
53
that that's when i open everything up and decide i'm gonna keep it okay
54
so i'm moving my machine over here in order to get
55
the cables looking neat here's actually something i love to do i take a super short extension cord
56
and i plug the two machines into that
57
because it's white it kind of blends in
58
and it allows me to tuck all the cords right behind
59
which cleans up the area from all of the wires and it ends up looking so much neater so
60
so our little coffee area is pretty much done honestly i
61
do feel like there's some stuff missing i feel like i kind of need a tray for under here especially
62
because something else i want to keep out all the time is my syrups
63
because you know something i learned recently you don't always have to buy pods in different flavors.
64
You can really just buy a true espresso that you love and then switch up the flavors by adding different syrups.
65
I recently went to Dunkin' Donuts and got a coffee with a blueberry syrup
66
and it was so good that it made me wanna go ahead and try it myself.
67
This brand's Torani has a lot of really good ones.
68
And with the fall season coming up, I for sure wanna get some fall flavored ones.
69
But truly displaying these, they're just so big and bulky.
70
So I'm picturing to get kind of something like this.
71
I love the square shape of these and I think with a little pump, it's gonna look so good displayed here in the coffee area.
72
So for now, I am just gonna keep it right here.
73
But as my syrup collection grows, I need a cuter way to display that too If you guys have any ideas, let me know below Okay, next drawer I want to tackle is this one right over here And like I said,
74
this is gonna be the drawer
75
that my kids are gonna be reaching for the most Especially
76
Aaliyah It's where I keep kind of like all of their silicone suction plates, their bowls, their cutlery If you guys noticed, I did drawers in the bottom of my entire kitchen
77
because I feel like they're the most convenient way to get things out.
78
When you have cabinets, you often have to go down and like reach in, which can definitely be hard, but something that these definitely do need is some drawer organizers.
79
I was able to find these ones at home.
80
They sell a bunch on Amazon as well, and using this is just going to help me create sections throughout the entire drawer.
81
So with this entire area, my ultimate goal is to just make it functional
82
and easy enough for the girls to use so that as soon as they open it up, everything is right there.
83
So after cleaning everything out
84
and giving it a nice wipe down I inserted these bamboo
85
drawers using the items i'm going to put in them as
86
kind of guidelines for how far to put them apart Once
87
the compartments were all in including the one for the utensils I just started to fill it up
88
and stack it all vertically making it really easy to access
89
I'm so happy as how this drawer turned out.
90
I feel like my kids I mean aliyah really appreciates this
91
kind of stuff every time she sees like something new or organized.
92
She's like mom so beautiful But all right guys remember the before of this.
93
Well here is what the drawer is currently looking like it's crazy how these dividers are honestly genius.
94
If you cannot find actual compartments to fit your drawers, these are so customizable.
95
I love it.
96
So we have the section for the plates and the bowls, their pouring cups, regular cups, utensils.
97
These are going to be just so easy for them to grab and go.
98
More cups, their bibs, and then these placemats that we have for them so they don't get messy.
99
I love this so much.
100
It can't just be me, right?
101
As anybody else, like your brain is just so happy and satisfied to be seeing this.
102
With every drawer that we're tackling, I'm honestly feeling a weight lift it off of my shoulders.
103
All right, on to the next.
104
And now getting started on the part of the kitchen that I have definitely been avoiding the most for sure by far.
105
We are gonna go deal with the pantry.
106
We're gonna start off with this side which is basically all of my cooking essentials.
107
So we've got my pastas, my grains, my rice, quick made foods, sauces, broths and down here is where I keep some of my vegetables like my potatoes,
108
my onions and then the bigger bag items as well.
109
Okay So before I go and start emptying everything out, I kind of wanted to let you know my thought process
110
for the pantry I've actually mentioned in one of my previous vlogs
111
But I know that a lot of people
112
when it comes to organizing their pantry The main thing they do is take everything out of its prepackaged containers
113
and put it into packages that are just more aesthetic I guess, you know, like glass tops or plastic containers things like
114
that to each their own
115
But I personally just don't really see a use in emptying things like this
116
and a size like this into those containers Because when I cook dinner for the family, I literally use this all in one shot
117
So for me to constantly have to refill
118
and replace those containers doesn't make sense Plus every brand of pasta has a different like cooking time on it
119
And I just feel like I always want to know before i'm cooking
120
But that being said there are some stuff that I do personally like to transfer to containers Just like this one.
121
I got this huge pack on amazon.
122
I think it was like 60 pieces for 28
123
Which is such a great deal It's a pop top
124
that keeps items fresh inside and I love these
125
because they come in multiple sizes also
126
So as you can see something like rice I personally really do like keeping in these containers
127
because these bags are just
128
so annoying to use every time you spill things The rice kind of goes everywhere
129
and we don't go through rice as quickly
130
because one cup of rice kind of makes a lot
131
So instead I love using these to just pour into a cup
132
and measure it off so easily So I'm not opposed to containers
133
But only for the items that I think are more practical to keep in them
134
But that being said every single thing that you get whether it's rice
135
or even something like quinoa has its own directions on how to cook it
136
So because I'm usually buying the same brand of everything what I actually do
137
And I think this is something really genius
138
if you don't do it already I actually cut out the direction of how to cook the product
139
and I put it right here with some clear tape on top It basically like laminates it on
140
which is such an amazing way to organize everything
141
but still be able to have your cooking directions on here I do the same for quinoa as well
142
and then every rice has different directions So that's basically what I do
143
and of course a lot of these items are much bigger than the storage containers I have for them.
144
So whatever I have left in the packaging.
145
That's what I like to throw away in the bottom All right, let's get to emptying the rest.
146
And let's be real you guys, this is truly a pantry makeover.
147
If you don't have these little spills and messes on the way, why?
148
But why the orzo?
149
Why?
150
Why does it have to be the smallest pasta?
151
Let me find a broom.
152
so now that this entire area is cleaned out i have to go
153
and think about what kind of storage containers i want in
154
each area i was able to combine like a good set
155
that fits on over here here i decided to put some lazy susans
156
because the thing is with cans
157
when you see them from the top you have no idea what they are
158
so for that reason i think it's more practical to put them in a place
159
that i can actually go ahead and see it
160
and then for this drawer where i'm gonna have all of my already packaged pastas i was thinking
161
that for here to add some drawer dividers would be a really great way to organize it. so kind
162
of shocked at the fact that
163
that literally only took me maybe 20 minutes to do i guess it's true
164
when everything has like a compartment or a place to go it's
165
so much easier to put things away
166
so let me show you the foodie side of my very realistic pantry
167
so up over here i just stored a lot of our paper towels tissues everything that's just really big
168
and chunky for this entire ikea kitchen system i decided to do three drawers in the bottom
169
and then one top shelf so over here i kind of just organized the grains
170
that i know i didn't mind keeping it up here
171
because i'm very aware of what i have for the cans
172
oh my god this is such a better solution than having
173
it in the drawers facing up this way i can see exactly what every single thing is
174
and whatever i need extras i just stored in the middle
175
and then same deal with the back so on to our first actual drawer and I have to tell you guys, having these drawer organizers is honestly the biggest game changer
176
because it kind of allows you to stack everything you have so neatly without needing to transfer everything in a separate container.
177
So over here, I just have all my regular pastas followed by all of my healthy pastas.
178
These are some really good pasta alternatives.
179
If you've never tried edamame spaghetti, if you drench it with sauce, it's actually really good.
180
I've got my chickpea pasta here also followed by my gnocchi and some palmini pasta.
181
Here we have kind of like the bigger package items.
182
We've got my glass noodles, which I make the absolute best noodle bowl with this right over here.
183
I showed you guys a recipe on how I make this in the past, but I feel like I have to do it again.
184
It's been a while.
185
Some of my Trader Joe's pastas, and then obviously whatever other pastas we have left over, including all my soba rice noodles.
186
This next drawer is kind of like everything that is cooking related.
187
Here in the corner are kind of like our quick meals.
188
So some mac and cheese, ramen, because sometimes we have those days.
189
I have my rice paper, my seaweed in the back, followed by our chicken broths, some cornflakes that I use to make schnitzel sometimes, and I buy a ton of these.
190
These are the plant-based meats that I use to make my chipotle-style bowls, and then a couple extra pantry items, and then right here on the bottom is where I keep
191
a lot of my produce that's kind of like meant to be stored away in the dark.
192
Truly, you guys, I feel like so many people have different ways to store onions and potatoes.
193
I'm very curious to know.
194
I think it depends like where you live.
195
My parents being from Russia store it a certain way.
196
There's some people who keep it in the fridge.
197
There's some people who don't keep them together.
198
So comment down below, how do you guys store your onions and potatoes?
199
Do you refrigerate them?
200
Do you not?
201
Do you keep them in a dark place?
202
Do you keep them out?
203
Do you put them together?
204
Do you keep them separate?
205
I'm just so curious to know.
206
Comment below where you're from and how you store your onions
207
and potatoes because I have a feeling a lot of people are gonna come at me and be like, why do you store your potatoes like that?
208
But to answer your question, I always keep them together but in separate bins.
209
So we have a potato bin, onions, garlic, and ginger, the few things that I don't refrigerate, as well as our flours and any extra pantry items that I use to refill these.
210
And that is this whole pantry finished.
211
So, brief intermission you guys, I think I'm done for today because the kids just got home
212
and the other pantries are gonna have to wait till tomorrow
213
But I wanted to get Aliyah's reaction to her new little dishware area
214
because I told you this girl appreciates this stuff Come see, mommy did cleanup, you wanna see?
215
Look, look, I show you Wow!
216
Oh my gosh!
217
What did mommy do?
218
So many stuff So many stuff and it did cleanup, you see?
219
Now you can always grab everything you need very easy, okay?
220
Thank you You're welcome, can I have a hug?
221
Okay What's in here?
222
I didn't do that yet.
223
There, it's still messy.
224
We're going to get there, right?
225
I'm so nervous to show them the snack cabinet because it's all your stuff and it's all crap.
226
You don't touch it?
227
It's all unhealthy.
228
Yeah, and you eat majority.
229
I know, but let's just say if you didn't buy it, I wouldn't eat it.
230
So then don't touch it.
231
Guys, please don't judge me when you see the snack cabinet when I get to it tomorrow.
232
But anyway, Aaron, you want to see?
233
You want to see?
234
It's the same as before.
235
Okay.
236
No, it's very nice.
237
I like this.
238
And you can actually see all the cans.
239
I know.
240
But look at how much puzzles we have.
241
It's actually crazy how much we go through all this.
242
No, not for sure.
243
Good job, I prove.
244
Very nice.
245
And tomorrow, you guys, onto tackling this.
246
You see, oh my gosh, they're gonna judge me so hard for this, I already know.
247
At least though, I do have to say whenever we have guests coming over
248
and they see our snack cabinet They're like whoa You guys are like the cool parents
249
that have all the good stuff
250
and like we don't give our kids any of it We just munch on it ourselves Oh, well good morning, babe.
251
Picking up the vlog the next day I'm actually wearing the same clothes
252
because I'm filming a reel on my phone of like doing
253
little short forms of all of this Just for fun
254
because I do know that there's some people who are so obsessed with these like organization videos.
255
I mean, I'm one of them.
256
But heading on to the next, you see these containers are right behind me.
257
I actually want to use them to organize another spot I forgot to mention, under the sink.
258
I definitely think that this is a place of chaos.
259
I mean, you have everything here that I constantly use, like cleaning products and supplies.
260
But genuinely, you guys, there's like no organization here.
261
And this is the only opening cabinet that is not a drawer.
262
So I want to make this more functional.
263
So let me empty it all out.
264
guys it is absolutely
265
so much better under the sink right now i kind of got rid of the stuff
266
that i don't really use and i love this little drawer function that i can use to store my dish towels, my magic erasers, whatever it is that I need.
267
Lazy Susan's are the best, especially in hard to reach areas just like this.
268
And this is probably the best way to have easy access to dishwasher pods. So clean.
269
I mean, compared to how it was before, definitely.
270
On to organizing the dreaded snack cabinet.
271
This will have a mixture of some healthy snacks and some not so healthy snacks.
272
Snacking is kind of like Erin and I's weakness.
273
We gravitate towards this drawer all the time, even though in terms of what I'm okay to give the kids, maybe it's like 10% of it.
274
So don't judge us hard, okay?
275
But I cannot wait to open this and have it be an organized dream.
276
Let's start.
277
Okay you guys, the drawer is all cleaned out and I went ahead and put all the boxes.
278
I had to kind of play Tetris to see like where every organizer would fit
279
and I actually really like the way that it's broken up.
280
Got some cool wire baskets in here and some different ones all around
281
and I don't know how much I'm gonna montage all this but I'm gonna go ahead and fill everything up now.
282
All right, it's the next day.
283
Listen up.
284
I actually finished up the pantry yesterday and I'm so obsessed with the organization of it right now.
285
This snack cabinet is absolutely everything I've always wanted.
286
I love so much that everything fits into its little compartments and it's so easy to just visualize everything that we have.
287
Whenever I'm having a snack craving, you already know I'm going to be flocking here.
288
Right up here in these baskets, I just wanted things that I can kind of grab and go.
289
Basically, this bin is every time I want to make myself either a bowl or oatmeal, granola it's all right here so i could just grab the whole thing
290
and then we've obviously got my little power snacks here this drawer holds most of our really big snacks
291
but it also holds a few of our breakfast items
292
so basically all of the breads that we have all the different kind of butters
293
and almond butters that we keep over here which is great too
294
and then right here in the bottom is where i keep
295
all of the drinks as well as a little corner of
296
baby snacks for whenever my friends come who have little kids
297
they love this corner these drinks being here is just temporary because as much as I'm showing you guys so much organization, I forgot to give you some house updates.
298
So as you guys know, the original plan for the microwave was to put it above the double oven.
299
Last minute, what we decided to do is actually put it in this pantry closet that we used to have.
300
This actually used to be a door.
301
We created a shelf to have a microwave here.
302
Right now, you can see all my organization bins are in there, but my goal is to put a fitted drinks fridge down here, which would be so amazing to fill with all of our protein shakes and our canned beverages.
303
I love that idea.
304
But guys, today's video, this organization process has honestly been amazing.
305
I feel like we got like 70% of these drawers done.
306
There is somewhere I didn't get to, like my spice drawer, because I'm actually waiting for the organizers for these to come from Amazon.
307
We've had a couple of delays, but that just means that it's going to be something I'm going to show you in a future video.
308
But with all that being said, you guys, here are just a couple befores and afters of the drawers in my kitchen.
309
And I already know
310
that this is going to make such a huge difference in the functionality of our home on a daily.
311
And I hope you guys seeing me do some of this
312
inspires you in some kind of way to just make certain areas of your home a little bit neater
313
and easier to use.
314
If you guys are watching up to this point, you watched this entire video and you're here after seeing me do so much organizing, you know that you're the real MVPs.
315
We love the ones to stick around till the end.
316
I love the ones to stick around till the end.
317
If you are watching up to this point, this is very fitting.
318
Comment down below, organization queens.
319
Because I already know that
320
so many of you right now are getting a knack for organizing
321
and you're probably heading on over to purchase some fun containers right now.
322
Be sure to stay tuned for the next vlog where we're gonna be getting in all of our major furniture
323
and I cannot wait to share it all with you because finally, finally, I'm gonna have a bed.
324
I'm gonna have a couch, a dining table, all the things that we've been waiting for.
325
But I love you all so much.
326
Thank you for coming along and organizing with me and I cannot wait to see you in my next one.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
