Been interested to play around with making my own paper, mainly to reduce paper waste that I might accumulate! And Miko’s eyes hiding behind the pillows!! So cute
it's such a beautiful hobby, so glad to find someone who also enjoys paper making :)
Thank you for this video! I'm looking forward to more casual videos like this one! It's my birthday today, and your video just popped out on my feed. I'm reflecting on what I can improve for the next year, and I definitely have to start chasing my dreams instead of planning every step.
Aw happiest of birthday!! 🎉🥳 Hope you’re able to reach your dreams in this new chapter
You are so lovely and i like the way you speak spontaneously and i can't wait to see more of your videos❤
you're so sweet! thank you for your kind words, I'm excited to share more videos like this one. truly grateful for you!
Looking forward to more of these casual videos and where you'll take your channel! 😊
aw thank you!! I really appreciate you and your support <3
Great video. Lets vibes for life in you tube
Thats true...
Yup totally agree about financial literacy. I run workshops on this topic
Luv it ❤❤ nice video good job ine this video thanks a lot❤
aw thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it
Great idea about bringing your own bags and not filling up the grocery cart. No name brand items are usually good too although I tend NOT to do it for anything that will touch my skin: soap, deodorant, shaving cream, shampoo, laundry detergent, fabric softener. Those items are just too personal to take a chance IMO. With ❤ Rikki.
I totally understand. There are too many skincare products out there that are questionable. I'd be cautious too. Good suggestion, thanks for the tips!
hey great video!
That's great to hear! Thank you!
Useful information, thanks!
@littlebluefishy - Happy to know that it’s helpful, thanks for letting me know 💕
I think if you did graphic or product design as a freelancer/contractor it may be more enjoyable for you than working a 9-5 at one company. You would jump from job to job which would give you more creative freedom and you wouldn’t feel stuck. The only tricky part would be working consistently.
That’s a good point, it’s a good way to grow my skills faster and build up a bigger network
Thanks for the tip that February is a good time to go to Italy. I’ve heard it gets super busy there in the summer so it’s nice advice.
Glad it was helpful to you! I’ve also been to other parts of Europe in Feb and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The weather isn’t too bad either
You're right 👍. Thanks for sharing this powerful message 🙏 today ❤️.
aw thanks for sharing your kind words! :)
Thank for your honesty in sharing your life career and your analysis of your working career with us. It shows your creative nature and having objectives and goals in seeking jobs and assessing if they are suitable in terms of what you are seeking. On the subject of not saving money while you were working under your comfort zone. That applies to most working people including myself when I was working as superannuation administrator most of my working life. I am now retired from work and spend everyday surfing the internet and utube channels and loving it. I think this is the time to raise your awareness, now that you have more time available. Go to a mirror and take a look at yourself. Take away your physical body. What is left behind? Your soul. When your human self has lived its useful life on this three dimension world, where does your soul go to. It goes home to what we call the spirit world (it actually do not go home straight away, but I am not going this way, although it is important). So, I hear you ask, what does this mean. The life of a soul is infinite, the life of a human being is finite. It also mean that our human being is the clothes that our soul wears. Meaning all of us are actually souls not human beings. The purpose of our lives on earth is to experience what we as a soul wants to experience. To human beings, the spirit world is paradise because it is a one sided world. Everything is positive and very pleasant, nothing negative exist. We as souls gain a lot of knowledge on everything but cannot experience what we know. For example, if we are happy, we cannot experience the degree of happiness as there is no sadness to compare with, if we feel pleasant, we cannot experience how pleasant it is as we cannot experience unpleasantness to compare with, if we experience success we do not know how successful is without having experience failure to compare with etc. When we experience what our soul wish to experience on earth, we raise awareness for our soul. It is AWARENESS that enable it to increase vibration internally, and in the long run, enable the soul to evolve to a higher level. I hope you like this story. 😊
You should do youtube shorts!
howcome? btw, let's link up
Sister I'm a Ugandan, have de idea of investing but i completely dont know where i can invest my money, kindly help guide me invest pliz 😢
Thanks for your question! I'll be making a video soon with more details but in short, start with building a 3-6 months of emergency fund from your income, to make sure you are covered financially incase of emergencies like family events or loss of an income occurs. Additionally, to invest, you'll need to open an investment account with your bank. In Canada, we have 2 accounts - TFSA and RRSP. Your bank will offer more details as to which one is best suited for you. Any other questions are welcomed. Hope this helps!
Omg you make youtube now. Same.
Ooooo!! fancy seeing you here haha!
FIRE is 🔥 have you looked into churning ? 🔥 🔥 🔥
YESSS! What kind of FIRE are you doing? And yeah I have looked into churning, I’ve done a few before I got laid off but it’s a challenge to continue without an income
@@heysamko you can do it with no income :) in fact it is income source haha .. check out ask sebby, and prince of travel. Also @wonnafamily haha for how to live with FIRE 🔥
I have very similar feelings about coworkers being very loose friends that don't have much depth. I've really tried hard to re-connect with old coworkers and even invite my new coworkers out after work. I've had some success, but nothing like college. During college friendships just came so easy. Everyone was 5 minutes away from each other by walking, there were a lot of places on campus for us to just hang out and talk (dorm room, the library, courtyards, classrooms, etc). I really took it for granted. I loved the video! Thanks for posting it.
Thank you so much for sharing your own experience in this. This definitely reminds me of how much I miss my campus days. Especially when I try to reach out to my classmates vs. colleagues…our conversations are so different! Appreciate your comment Andrew!
@@heysamko No problem! I turn 31 this year and the thought of "what exactly makes a deep friendship?" comes to my mind a lot these days.
Yeah same! Glad to know we’re not alone in this
Fire movement works. We just reached Coast Fire. It takes discipline and time but it works!
Absolutely and yet many of us expects fast results and lose patience. I truly believe that it works too! Thanks for taking your time to watch my video, love your content as well
I searched stuff because very few searches
How do you only have 27 subscribers? You did an amazing job! Well Done girl! I'm sharing on FB !!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! This means a lot !!
You are a beautiful young woman questioning the sense of it all. I empathize with you deeply! As a German man from the 1960s, who has lived and worked in over 70 countries, survived the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as a US contractor, and been a serial entrepreneur at the forefront of the AI race, there is one piece of advice I can offer: Find a decent man (hardworking, caring, honest), acquire a beautiful home that you can pay off in less than five years (perhaps in a country where your ancestors are from), raise your children together, and impart to them the joys of life. From this point onward, the world is only going to become more chaotic by the minute. Waste not a single moment.
Thank you so much, MediaCreators! As the world gets more disconnected with technology advancements these days, finding human connection and sharing life experiences like this is getting more difficult, so thank you for kind words. I admire your wisdom and advice.
@@heysamko You have a great attitude - facing challenges as learning experiences instead of obstacles, and growing from them. While I see a bright future for humanity in the long run, the next few decades will be very turbulent. During this time, I believe many people who previously looked down on communities like the Amish and Mennonites will come to appreciate the value of working with your hands, having clearly defined roles for men and women that provide purpose and stability, and raising children in a loving environment where they are given responsibilities from an early age. The turbulence ahead may cause many to rediscover the grounding effects of the simple lifestyles centered on physical labor, family roles, and a strong community.
@@MediaCreators That is true! Ideally, I'd like to learn those hands-on skills myself. Thank you for your insights!
Beautiful! hope you have a safe and wonderful trip!!
Aw thanks girl. Look forward to sharing more soon
Looks super intresting but i feel it would be too ridged, I like the bullet journal for allowing me to change my plans as life happens
100%! I find it to be too ridged as I tried other planners as well. Surprisingly, I haven't tried the bullet journal yet. Do you find it time consuming since you have to draw in each page?
Not really as i keep to the original method By Ryder Carol very minimalist :) I have a couple of vids on my channel as I’ve been trying to document my Journey a bit :)
@manvstationery - Which minimalistic style is that? I've love to try it out
@@heysamko when sticking to the origins Bullet Journal method it’s very minimal and quick, it was designed to be simple as if it was not He would not do it due to ADHD. The system then evolved in to the beautiful fancy spreads we see all over TH-cam :) youtube.com/@bulletjournal?si=ZEO9de8q1-QwIImJ
glad to see you again! Looking forward to seeing your journey!
Aw thanks Mica! Can't wait to see yours as well <3
I simply love your charisma and energy :) it was so superb and intriguing :)
thank you, this means a lot
So cute!
aw thank you <3
