How clean everything is!
Your outfit at the start looked really uncomfortable x😢
Some great finds. Seoul looks like a treasure trove for thrifters!
New subscriber here from VA and didn’t know you lived in VA! 😂 Thank you for sharing! Visiting korea in the Fall and will deff be checking these spots out ❤

They are smoke alarms not fire alarms.
I hope this means your apartment issues are fixed :) I don't ever buy shoes from any second hand shop or undergarments I am surprise your partner isn't going with but someone has to look after your kids I suppose and then she appeared. Do they clean the clothes at the store or no? It would be at the laundromat after leaving the store before I arrived home. I am going to the thrift store myself for plant pots only I think. I don't suppose stores there would allow pets would they?
I'm too impatient to thrift. I do like what you bought. Peace 🕊️
Were you able to try items on at the Goodwill stores and Vin Prime? A lot of Korean stores don't allow trying items on which makes me crazy!!
Hi great find , think you should tell us how much they cost in UK money though
Love the green checkered dress!
Oh your style seems quite British to me ❤ I appreciate it, though 😅 but Honda shirt 😁 and the navy/black addidas? I would have rather gone for the yellow addidas jacket in the vitnage store and the wiener shirt, or even the one with the chunky strawberries, which you looked at in one of the stores. You look really pretty in this vlog and your outfit is cool, too. How is the moving in progressing? Have you gotten a handle on the cockroaches, the mould and the electrical issues in the kitchen?
❤
Love your thrifting videos!!🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Darn, I was hoping you got the adorable rattan elephant purse! 😂
Omg, was the water park in VA called Water Country USA?
I need to go thrifting but ill health has meant I can't go. But I have a GP appointment tomorrow and it's near some charity stores so I think I may go and have a look. I'm after some balloon sleeved shirts
❤❤❤
I remember early on watch you, you mentioned living in the US, but I didn't know it was in Virginia. I'm from New York, but I live in Virginia now. How cool!?
Good idea to shop clothes in the Goodwill, Vintage Stores. Thankyou for sharing how you buy your summer clothes.
Hi, I enjoy your channel so much. I am from Washington state, but am currently staying in Virginia for the summer, what a surprise to hear that you used to live in Virginia! All the best to you and Hayley.
Great finds!
Loved going thrifting with you. You picked out some cute things. Great video as always!
When you said "Are you ok?" I thought at first you were asking the plant (before I saw Bing behind it) ha
Me to😅
Have you been back to visit Nan? I love her in your videos!
I'm going to visit in a couple of weeks I can't wait!!!
@@HermioneChantal while obviously you don't need to film, but I'd love to see clips! Is Haley going?
loveee this !!!!
Why did you move into such a crappy place? Like the others have said you should move since it’s 2 people sharing rent. Not worth it. I never thought I was gonna see you living like that.
This is the reality of living abroad. Finding a new place with two dogs for a short term rental is impossible. I'm sharing because it's reality and honestly I like the challenge.
loved the video! cant wait to explore it myself in the near future!
I think this is very realistic. People who urge you to move have not rented in a while! I am sure you will manage the situation as long as that water damage is addressed. From living in China, cockroaches tend to be attracted to food in the open so be super consistent at taking away crumbs etc and close lid bin.
Thank you! We got a dud apartment and now we're stuck and that's reality. Especially the reality when you live abroad and navigating a system in another language. Thank you for the tips! :) We've been making sure there's no scraps of food since and I've blocked all the holes they can come through so we haven't seen one since (long may it last!!)

The pink cabinet is so cute! Where did you get it from?
Hi Hermione, what did Haley bring besides the two cute doggies to the new apartment? It still looks like all your great things, but I don't see any of her taste represented there. It still looks like you're doing all the cleaning and putting away things yourself...be careful, girl.🤗...Love your channel.
She brought her stuff, but lets me decorate as she knows its for youtube :) and that's why I do all the putting stuff away on here. I only show what I do when she's at work as this is my job. We split the chores
What do you do for a living if I may ask ?
Can you speak Korean!!??
Enough to get by and have simple conversations :)
@@HermioneChantal OMG Hermione responded!!! TYSM! I didn't think of subbing but bc I am Korean(but live Australia) and all I am going to sub!!! Also loved your videos from like 5-6 years ago on DIY stuff! Keep up the great content!
Saving money seems to have a cost
How is watching but not cleaning😂😂
Your hair color matching your couch is so satisfying for no reason lol. This color is so beautiful ❤
I’ve been in a nightmarish project THAT ALL STARTED OUT WITH JUST TRYING TO CHANGE OUT FAUCET IN BATHROOM SINK! I’ve been without working sink for 2 weeks now. Someone here now to deal and install a tiny little vanity. Fingers crossed I have a working sink by tonight!
Omg!! I hope you got it all fixed! It all starts with one tiny project and snowballs
You're a survivor. But I would move ASAP. LOL. Peace 🕊️
🤣 Trying not to break the lease
That rust cleaner is crazy omg!!!
Perhaps for the dog leads you could get a nice raffia shopping basket to hang up on one of those pegs and hide the dogs stuff in it.
Get outta there and move directly to the south of France! 🇫🇷 😊
As a Lawyer break the lease , That place is not safe of healthy, Saving money is one thing but you stuffed in a place plus two dogs . this is not how your use to living
I wish it was that easy in Korea 🥲 I agree though! But we are making it work
You guys need to find a new place. That place is literally unsafe to be in. The lease should be invalid if it's unsafe to live in, which it is. Put your stuff in storage. Find somewhere else.
I totally agree, but it's not that easy in a foreign country to find a short term lease with two dogs. Moving in was tough enough so we're trying t make it work and it's improved 100% since this was filmed
Bonjour Hermione, j'ignorais que tu souhaitais t'installer en France avec Haley. C'est une bonne idée mais sache que dans le sud-est il y fait très chaud en été et que l'eau manque souvent. Avec le changement climatique, ça ne s'arrange pas. J'ignore quel projet tu as, mais il y a beaucoup de beaux endroits en France qui pourraient vous séduire... et pas uniquement dans le sud 😉 Gros bisous de France 😘
I enjoyed this comment because it gave me a chance to remember my French! Only a couple of words I had to look up. <3
My room is so messy I won to look cool so dope
Could you place some window screening against the inside of your fan where the cockroach came from? I’ve done that with my fans/vents. You can’t see it and itprevents critters from entering but still allows passage of air
There’s not such a thing as one cockroach they need to leave
Yes! I found some and put it over both fans and haven't seen one since! It works so well. I think it was a one off :)
You're making some great improvements! Love seeing the Hermione touch :)
Don't use spray on cockroaches, as it can cause their eggs to burst and lead to a larger infestation.
What do you suggest that you use instead? I'd really appreciate knowing. Thank you
Soooo into more dog content and also now girlfriend content! Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised about you moving in with Haley sooner than later because of the classic U-Haul sapphic trope XD But it's soooo lovely to see you so happy with your person and puppies and all that!
We're a cliché 🤣 but I wouldn't have it any other way!! Thank you for the lovely comment 💖
