00:01Oh, hey, I've been expecting you.
00:04My name is Simone Shepard.
00:06I'm a writer and social media personality,
00:08and I can't wait to show you my home.
00:10But first, make sure you hit the subscribe button below.
00:13And if you have one of these cool headsets,
00:16then you can hit the VR icon in the play bar
00:18to watch it in virtual reality.
00:20Let's go.
00:25So welcome to my spa.
00:27This place is 3,000 square feet, five bedrooms, four baths.
00:31We got a fly outside living room, and we even got a pool.
00:35We got everything you need.
00:36You pay $7,000 a month, but hear me out.
00:39It's worth it, because it's like a home studio.
00:42You know, we always had these rooms in our houses
00:45as black people that we don't allow people to come in.
00:47Well, my living room is that room.
00:48No one's allowed in here, so you can look,
00:51but don't touch nothing.
00:52First, I want to show you guys my chair.
00:54I call it my sinking chair.
00:55It's an M's chair.
00:57A lot of people probably understand how expensive it is.
01:00I'm going to tell my boyfriend, because he don't know.
01:02When I sit in this chair, the ideas, they just come to me.
01:05They just start flowing.
01:06I have a fancy white cow.
01:08It's very comfortable for me, the only person who's
01:11allowed to sit on it in the house.
01:13I want to show you guys my kitchen.
01:17So welcome to the heart of my home, which is my kitchen.
01:20It's nice to have a nice big stove to be able to really cook
01:25and experiment, because that's exactly what I'm doing at this
01:28point, a lot of experimenting.
01:29So I'm a big tea drinker.
01:31This is my teapot.
01:32It's a copper teapot, which I really, really do like.
01:35I feel like copper heats up the best and the most evenly.
01:38So I know I talk a lot about healthy living, and healthy living
01:41is really important to me, because actually, about two and a half
01:44years ago, I had to have surgery.
01:46And I had surgery to get rid of something called fibroids.
01:49And part of that has got to do with a lot of the trash and crap
01:52that we put in our bodies.
01:54So one of the biggest changes I made in my life was how I eat
01:57and the water that I drink.
01:58This is my alkaline water machine.
02:00My boyfriend, a few years ago when I got sick, was so nice to go
02:03out and buy me one.
02:04I recommend it.
02:05If you guys know anything about alkaline water, put it in the
02:08comments below.
02:08Help everybody else.
02:10So that's my kitchen.
02:11The next room I want to show you guys is the room where we do the
02:14most of the working and entertaining.
02:16Just follow me.
02:16It's right in the next room.
02:19So welcome to my dining room, which actually doubles as my
02:23writer's room.
02:24We do writing.
02:25We brainstorm.
02:26It's like all the creative magic happens here.
02:28We even do our stand-up performances.
02:31And I do my podcast in this room.
02:33One of the things that I love about this house that you really
02:36can't find anymore in homes are these skylights.
02:39Look.
02:40It brings in so much natural light.
02:42I absolutely love them.
02:44It lends to the creative energy in this room.
02:47I know you guys can just feel it.
02:53This room is such a vibe.
02:56I want to show you the outside living room.
02:58Come and follow me.
03:01So welcome to like the dopest space in my house.
03:04It's my outside living room.
03:06This is the couch that you can sit on in case you're wondering when
03:09you come to my house.
03:10This couch actually came with us from our last space and I tried to
03:14get rid of it.
03:14But everyone always talked about how comfortable it was and how as
03:17soon as you sit on it, you fall asleep.
03:19They were like, please, please, please don't get rid of it.
03:20So I compromised and I brought it to my new house, but I put it on the
03:24outside of my new house.
03:25It's getting pretty hot out here.
03:27I'm going to take you guys back in and show you guys my bedroom.
03:33So this is my bedroom where I obviously sleep and recharge for the
03:36next day.
03:37At the ends of my bed, I have this loveseat, our five-year-old.
03:40She cannot sleep in her own bed.
03:42She refuses to, I should actually say.
03:44So we're trying to slowly push her out of our bed.
03:47And right now we've got her as far as the loveseat at the bottom of the bed.
03:50So if you guys turn around right behind you, it's the door to my closet.
03:53I want to show you guys what's in there.
03:55So this room is the most important to me.
03:57It's my closet.
03:58I come in here.
03:59I do my makeup, lay down these edges, change my clothes.
04:03I even pray in here.
04:04It's the only room in the house that is just mine.
04:07I can shut out the whole entire world and just sit in my own energy.
04:11There's not enough time for me to show you everything today.
04:13But maybe next time.
04:15I'll see you at the door.
04:19So that was my place.
04:20I hope you enjoyed it.
04:22You've been watching Sweet Digs with Refinery29.
04:25Hope to see you again.
04:26Peace.
