Mmmm Mashka Milashka💕 ... Wheat bread..wheeaat breaad, *wheeeeeeeat breaaaaad* ... Baby, don't you love wheeeeeat bread? Walls, carpet, tables... all in the color of wheeeeaaaat breaaaad😅 This one's nice, and when you wear pastel colors, it makes the video all that much more relaxing....Such a beautiful little starseed, with an affinity for wheat bread :-p (sorry I had to tease you about that one last time) ...lol
Definitely checking them out! Would you ever consider doing another cooking video? Your cauliflower stromboli video is in my regular rotation, I absolutely love the cozy fall vibes and how it's like I'm just hanging out in the kitchen with a friend 🩷
She is the absolute G.O.A.T of ASMR I mean between how long she's done it down to the consistency of the quality vids and being a true innovator. She's truly the G.O.A.T!
@@GentleWhisperingASMR The fact that you just did that... made me laugh so hard I woke up my partner in the back of my WEE-WOO 🚑. Perfect response ma'am. 😂
I’ve been feeling so burnt out and wanting to treat myself to a facial or massage. Unfortunately I couldn’t fit that in on my day off today but this is just as nice, Maria. Truly, thank you 🥰
Honestly, and it might sound completely nuts to some people, but I've been watching your videos since the beginning, and I swear Maria, you've made me a better person. People tell me I have a "calm spirit" and I really do think a LOT of it comes from you. You're passing it on and I'm so thankful.
Ain't no one in this channel gonna think you sound crazy.. We all understand. Sometimes non ASMR people might look at us like we are crazy..ahhah.. don't care, I recommend Maria to everyone. And anyone who watches her feels the same. My conversion rate is low though. Alot of people aren't open to ASMR. Their loss!
Absolutely agreed Big thank you for this ASMR videos and your personal channel, watching you being your true self makes me more confident to be myself ❤
Mila is starting kindergarten!? That's so exciting! From the small moments that we see of her, it's clear that you and Darryl have well-prepared her for elementary school. "The days are long, but the years are short." Enjoy this fun time of elementary school events.
This was the most beautiful, authentic, vulnerable, selfless and tender-hearted ASMR content I have ever had the pleasure and honor of watching. Thank you for your fearlessness and grace in sharing your mind and heart in a most profound and impactful way. I feel connected to you through the cosmos, which is deeply comforting to my very soul. ❤
Kindergarten!!! OMG. I remember when Mila was born! I was just finishing high school and now I just finished my college degree!!! Congratulations Maria, so happy for this huge moment for your family! Mila will be just fine, she seems like such a smart and kind hearted kid, she will be able to handle any challenge that comes her way. Hugs! ❤️

Miss Prolific, you need to tell us the secret about your productivity sometime :) How do you do it? I understand it is rewarding... but phew. Do you have a crew behind the scenes? Do you have warehouses of paraphernalia?
Maria is one of those artists that I’ll never stop checking up on and seeing how she’s doing. It’s crazy that I don’t even know this lady but I feel like I’ve been with her through so much of her life like having a baby, getting married, seeing her visit her family, seeing what she buys that we’ll find tingly and so much more. Yes the tingles and relaxation are great but what’s truly special is her authenticity. We love you girl! ♥️
I love this type of videos where you just sit us down and play with a pillow and talk to us one to one like a close friend and you kinda sure a little bit about yourself and let yourself be vulnerable. It's just so pure
Having Maria talk about how it's hard for her to trust people and not be guarded, while also being so vulnerable with us as she shares some of her life lessons was so touching.
@@YourSweatyUncle Heather had a lot of health issues, unfortunately, if memory serves. I wonder about how she's doing a lot and I hope she's okay. Also miss asmrrequests, she was an early creator but her work was gold.
Enjoy this time in your life. I think you'll find that as you age, you'll look back at the previous decade and be completely different from how you were before. I, like you, was very social and an "open book" to others. Once I hit 50, that all changed. I keep a very small circle, and no longer live my life worrying about what others think. I live life for myself and those I love- it's much more peaceful and enjoyable that way 😊
I am in tears . Thank you for this . Hearing you talk about your life and the shift of your mindset healed parts of me that I thought I had lost . I am not alone . Your ability to articulate such big feelings of love and just everything … this is what I needed . Thank you so much .
This is my favourite type of video from you. You chatting with some bedside/fabric sounds and your kindness emanating from you. The ones where you tuck us into bed and give us life advice. So beautiful. Thank you, Maria ❤
... and what's more, I am convinced that Maria is a genuinely nice, kind, loving person that everyone should be so lucky to have as a friend. Thank you for all these wonderful hours you spend with us 🥰🥰
This channel was my first introduction to asmr roughly 12 years ago, I am so grateful. ASMR has been hugely helpful in regulating my emotions and has also massively helped in managing my (previously overwhelming) misophonia, as a kind of self controlled exposure therapy. Thanks Maria! I have found you to be an authentically kind and peaceful influence over the years, truly an inspiration to me.
I have been watching you for years. But commenting for the first time. I just want to say THANK YOU for the moment of 4:10. Normally such words don't hit me (grown man almost at 40) much but your eyes indicate that youve been on a brink of tears - you opened yourself a bit for us, despite what you said later. I was really amazed/mesmerized by it. And this moment of hoesty made your words really mean something... I hope the world will never change you. Wish you all the best.
I’m a new mom of a 2 week old and even on the 2am mornings when she’s crying, I’m half asleep and exhausted, trying to feed her… I keep reminding myself to soak in these moments because one day I won’t have them anymore and I’ll miss them, even though they’re difficult sometimes. Thank you for what you said, it’s a great reminder and so true. ❣️
32:11 reminds me of staying at my grandmas house when I was little. She lived beside a car dealership so the bright lights always came in through the windows and the guest bedroom curtains were really thin. Very cozy and nice reminder of being with her.
i feel this so deeply!! the car lights through a window at night are so nostalgic for me too, reminds me of staying in the guest room at my grandmas house
Our daughters will inherit a better world because people like you are in it! I can't believe I've been watching for 14 years, and my 4 year old made her first little silly ASMR video tonight with her stuffed animals 😍🤣 thank you for sharing
Oh Maria, I'm having a very overwhelming time with life right now. Your beginning speech helped me stop some of the anxieties im feeling. I'm lucky to have my mama and baby brother, and I'm lucky to not being going through this alone. I thank you for helping me realize that.❤
This kind of videos , definitely my favorite. I like when you sharing your reflections on life and letting me know , that everything is beautiful. That everyone can pass through hard days , and this is totally okay. Thank you , for being my friend , incredible person and the most heart warming human on the whole planet ❤
28:15 I'm so thankful you're doing better, Maria. SO thankful. You deserve this happiness. Thank you for sharing your private feelings with us all, I find myself in so much of what you're saying and I totally get it. You are so appreciated Maria 💚 thank you for being a part of my life for 8 years or so now - you've gotten me through some of my hardest nights and for that I'm forever grateful for you
Maria I’m battling depression and trying really hard not to let it win. I’m in therapy and working on self love. I just really wanted to say thank you for being a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for helping me at least get rest. I’ve been watching you around 10 years now. You’re appreciated!❤❤❤
10:34 remind me so much when I was a kid and my dad used to comb my hair in the winter while I was with a nylon jacket on... never tought I would listen this sound in a Asmr video
I found you 5.5 years ago when I was postpartum with my first baby (and struggling!) He is now in kindergarten too. I have loved hearing about Mila throughout the years since my son’s the same age. ❤
I’m only 5 minutes into the video, but you have no idea how much I needed to hear your comforting words. Thank you Maria for being here for us over the years, I have been watching since I was 11 and I’m 21 now! 💕 life can be scary, but we’re all in it together.
4:59 you can’t ever know how badly I needed to hear this. Working 13 hour days for two weeks preparing for an event that was a totality failure for things entirely out of my control. Was doing it all immediately after a terrible breakup, my son being incredibly ill and not being able to get my psych meds in stock 😅 event is over and now I have tonsillitis and just… could not feel anymore defeated. I am not someone who struggles to bounce back but i can’t thug this one out right now 😅
Damn that sounds rough, that’s a lot to handle all at once. I don’t know if this is too cliche but I always remind myself ‘this too shall pass’. For me it helps. Hope things start looking up
What a long, rough weeks. Everything will be alright: your son will certainly heal, the meds will arrive and time will heal the break up. Better being alone than walking in bad company. Hugs from Italy
I've been watching asmr for over a decade and in that time I have seen thousands of asmrtists, of all different shapes, sizes, colours and creeds make videos. And one thing that has remained constant is the countless number of them that mention Maria/Gentle Whispering and her videos, how they've helped them, inspired them, a whole range of wonderful positive and wholesome things, so despite being a latecomer to the channel, I already hold so much for respect for her and the gigantic impact she's had on asmr as whole. ❤
I love hand movements and visual tiggers so much. It always give me the best tingles. The pillow sounds and the counting makes it even better! I fell asleep so fast🥰❤️
I love love loooove your gentle hand movements. Years and years ago you recorded a video doing tapping/hand movements on a mirror and it’s genuinely one of my top ASMR videos. Request for a 2024 version, please!
Maria thank you so much for your open hearted videos. You have no idea how we love to hear such authentic words and feelings from you. All you are talking about is such a tenderly bittersweet human experience and even though Im barely an adult and at the other side of the world, everything you experience is so relatable. Much love darling thank you for all you do for us
I always appreciate when you speak to us intimately. It just feels so genuine. You’re the best, no one does ASMR like you do. Thanks for all you give us Maria ❤
I'm so glad you're feeling better than last year. Self compassion is so important. There are so many messages in the world that can get in the way of that, but we can choose to release those messages. It's always ok to have some boundaries and hold some things back. ❤
Gosh Maria I had the same unexpected reaction when my son’s bus pulled away for that first day of kindergarten! He’s in 2nd now and it’s much easier, but I remember being so surprised when my heart suddenly dropped and the tears came that first day. It’s that first small steps of letting our babies fly and we are so worried they might still need us! Thanks for another wonderful video, I love hearing you chat about what’s going on in your life & about Mila 😊 I first discovered you when I was pregnant experiencing anxiety in 2016. It has been so nice to see you have your baby as well & how much I relate to your experiences as a mom & a wife, as we are both similar in age. Best wishes & thanks for your hard work & amazing videos!
The way you talk about your daughter with so much love, respect and admiration is so heartwarming. She is so incredibly blessed to have such a wonerful momma. As someone who didnt get much love from their parents, it warms my heart to see her recieve such pure love. I hope the best for you and your family ❤️
Oh my Maria, it seems like you needed this as much as me, I wasn't going to do a video tonight, but I am so glad the universe led me to click on your new video. So much negativity going on in my life, but also terrible things happening to friends and as a possible empath, I can not help but soak up their sadness. My only comfort is that I hope it eases their pain and sadness. Sending a bit of energy and lots of love ❤
Thank you for connecting every single time Maria. You just know how we are all feeling. I watch all of your videos every night. I have my favourite videos too which helped stop my panic attacks all those years ago. Not only that but also you turn painful feelings into happy ones. The first Asmr I go too. Beautiful glowing Maria 🩷
Am I the only one who loves the ad parts?! The way she talks about the ads and sponsors is my favorite. I would love a compilation video of all the ads in her videos. I just love listening to her talk about them!
I can’t believe Mila started K. ❤ Wishing her the best first school year. With you as her Mom, I don’t doubt she just has that special something in her. ✨ Thank you for letting us in Maria, however challenging it’s become. Whatever you choose to share, I’ll always be happy to listen.
These are my favorite videoes. The simple yet powerful magic in connecting with you ✨ Even though it’s through a screen, it just feels authentic and warm 🥺 Thank you for sharing your gift.
candle tapping was amazing!! unfortunately summer passed by quickly for me as well, worked every single day and studied for university, but thankfully i had your videos to look forward to always!
I discovered Maria when I was sick with Interstitial Cystitis and was in absolute hell. I didn’t know what ASMR was back then (2011), but I just knew that she made my life a little less awful and she was the only one who could relax me. She is also the most raw and real about her own life and struggles, as well as being incredibly talented. If I’m not mistaken, I believe it took her eight years of hard work to get to a million subscribers and she just kept plugging away. Maria, you deserve every bit of wealth, recognition and accolades that come your way. People think they can just “piggyback” on what Maria (and a FEW others, very few) have done and they soon realize it’s not so easy. Also, as she has stated, she struggles, too. It takes A LOT of work and attention to film this videos and create content for us. And the pressure of meeting YT ever-changing algorithms has to be exhausting. Maria, you are a gem and so many of us are better off because of you. Please know that when you are struggling.
I completely ADORED the last part of the video with babrely any lights, absolutely incredible, I wouldnt be mad if you di that again towards the end of a video or even a full video like that, its so sleepy!!
This video (all your videos honestly) felt like a warm hug as an adult. Sharing your experience with depression and feeling guarded. Feeling like it's ok to feel this way, and it will pass. Thank you 💗
Its true, some people have an ASMR quality to hand movements. Others feel like they're doing aerobic hand workouts and their mind body and spirit aren't in it. Ive always felt so calm with Maria's. Also my friend's mom has her master's in sign language interpretation. I've always gotten ASMR when she signs slowly or sign interprets songs.
I’m 3 weeks postpartum and your videos are constantly playing when my baby and I nap! I swear she recognizes your voice from when I listened to you all through my pregnancy! Baby Maria says thank you for helping us sleep - and she knows you’ll like her name, too!
Thank you Maria. You really help me so much while I struggle to live with Arnold Chiari malformation of the brain and a condition called EDS. Your work is therapeutic and medically helps. You have a holistic gift. There isn’t anyone like you. You deserve to be honored for the years that you have provided such incredible and healing service to many
Maria we all lose sight of the important things. But always remember the unimportant things that take your attention away go away too. Don’t over complicate things for yourself. It’s a flaw us humans have. Focus on the beauty of life and what its beauty can do for you. Lots of love ❤️
Love is the most valuable currency we have to give as humans, second only to time. You're an incredible person, Maria, and I hope you know how important you are to this community! Personally you were my introduction to ASMR many years ago, I distinctly remember you standing before a whiteboard translating core english to russian and even back then you exuded love (to use your own terminology lol). You represent comfort and security to so many of us who struggle to find peace in the late hours, and for that I will forever be grateful to you and your craft. Much love to you and yours, Maria!!
I love this moment of connection with you, Maria. Thank you for being so true to yourself and willing to share your humanity with the world. You comfort me in times I feel most alone, with words of wisdom and compassion and encouragement. Thank you. Thanks so much.
I remember one of your first videos. Late night wandering around your apartment doing asmr sounds like scratching a leather couch etc. Been watching ever since. Thank you Maria for helping a chronic insomniac.
You are so amazing! Discovered you over the pandemic and look forward to every Monday! Love your sister's videos as well. Would actually love to hear more of your "I've grown up" insights. Think I can relate!

it is so soothing 🥰
and when you go like this back and forth it sounds like ocean waves

Was doing it all immediately after a terrible breakup, my son being incredibly ill and not being able to get my psych meds in stock 😅 event is over and now I have tonsillitis and just… could not feel anymore defeated. I am not someone who struggles to bounce back but i can’t thug this one out right now 😅
Damn that sounds rough, that’s a lot to handle all at once. I don’t know if this is too cliche but I always remind myself ‘this too shall pass’. For me it helps. Hope things start looking up
What a long, rough weeks. Everything will be alright: your son will certainly heal, the meds will arrive and time will heal the break up. Better being alone than walking in bad company.
Hugs from Italy
@@LexPlautia thank you so much, I needed this 🖤🖤
Maria's Chit Chats are my favorite ASMR. I wish she can do these more often. ❤
I've been watching asmr for over a decade and in that time I have seen thousands of asmrtists, of all different shapes, sizes, colours and creeds make videos. And one thing that has remained constant is the countless number of them that mention Maria/Gentle Whispering and her videos, how they've helped them, inspired them, a whole range of wonderful positive and wholesome things, so despite being a latecomer to the channel, I already hold so much for respect for her and the gigantic impact she's had on asmr as whole. ❤
I love hand movements and visual tiggers so much. It always give me the best tingles. The pillow sounds and the counting makes it even better! I fell asleep so fast🥰❤️
Little chats with Maria really make me feel seen 🥰 I am waiting for my time where I feel "I grew up". Also ambient lighting is EVERYTHING!!
Fall coziness with Maria is now a ritual with the changing of the seasons. Love this!
I love love loooove your gentle hand movements. Years and years ago you recorded a video doing tapping/hand movements on a mirror and it’s genuinely one of my top ASMR videos. Request for a 2024 version, please!
The subtle chimes in this video were amazing. More of this type of video pls🫶🏻
My husband just abandoned me and my son and your videos are pretty much the only thing helping me to get any sleep. Thank you ♥️
Maria thank you so much for your open hearted videos. You have no idea how we love to hear such authentic words and feelings from you. All you are talking about is such a tenderly bittersweet human experience and even though Im barely an adult and at the other side of the world, everything you experience is so relatable. Much love darling thank you for all you do for us
The way you love your daughter so passionately is heartwarming to see. I can tell how proud you are of her. So beautiful to see!
I'm very much into hand movements too. They can be so soothing and almost hypnotic.
That brush is so nostalgic I’ll never get sick of it 🥺
ahhhh the crispy crinkle when you press the sheets/pillow is my absolute FAVORITE trigger
3:38 omg instant tingles
I always appreciate when you speak to us intimately. It just feels so genuine. You’re the best, no one does ASMR like you do. Thanks for all you give us Maria ❤
The *comfort* I needed. You’ve helped me through so much in the years since I found you, I’m so grateful. ❤
I'm so glad you're feeling better than last year. Self compassion is so important. There are so many messages in the world that can get in the way of that, but we can choose to release those messages. It's always ok to have some boundaries and hold some things back. ❤
No matter what it is, listening to ad reads always gives me tingles. 😊
Gosh Maria I had the same unexpected reaction when my son’s bus pulled away for that first day of kindergarten! He’s in 2nd now and it’s much easier, but I remember being so surprised when my heart suddenly dropped and the tears came that first day. It’s that first small steps of letting our babies fly and we are so worried they might still need us!
Thanks for another wonderful video, I love hearing you chat about what’s going on in your life & about Mila 😊 I first discovered you when I was pregnant experiencing anxiety in 2016. It has been so nice to see you have your baby as well & how much I relate to your experiences as a mom & a wife, as we are both similar in age. Best wishes & thanks for your hard work & amazing videos!
The way you talk about your daughter with so much love, respect and admiration is so heartwarming. She is so incredibly blessed to have such a wonerful momma. As someone who didnt get much love from their parents, it warms my heart to see her recieve such pure love. I hope the best for you and your family ❤️
Oh my Maria, it seems like you needed this as much as me, I wasn't going to do a video tonight, but I am so glad the universe led me to click on your new video. So much negativity going on in my life, but also terrible things happening to friends and as a possible empath, I can not help but soak up their sadness. My only comfort is that I hope it eases their pain and sadness. Sending a bit of energy and lots of love ❤
You were so right about that lamp from your decorating video for this room, it really lights up the whole room!
Right? Well worth the money.
Thank you for connecting every single time Maria. You just know how we are all feeling. I watch all of your videos every night. I have my favourite videos too which helped stop my panic attacks all those years ago. Not only that but also you turn painful feelings into happy ones. The first Asmr I go too. Beautiful glowing Maria 🩷
Marias got the best hands in the asmr game for sure! (As odd as the sounds 😂)
Thank you friend! ♥
Am I the only one who loves the ad parts?! The way she talks about the ads and sponsors is my favorite. I would love a compilation video of all the ads in her videos. I just love listening to her talk about them!
The sponsorship reminded me how I miss Maria's cooking seeeshions!
Some people just get more beautiful as they grow older, you are one such person
I can’t believe Mila started K. ❤ Wishing her the best first school year. With you as her Mom, I don’t doubt she just has that special something in her. ✨ Thank you for letting us in Maria, however challenging it’s become. Whatever you choose to share, I’ll always be happy to listen.
Superb! Будет сегодня под что засыпать! Мария, Спасибо!
She’s being so raw and authentic with her emotions and life. You’re truly an angel blessing us with your ASMR 🥹
"This girl is gonna rock the world." Awww Maria, you're such a good mom. I know you taught her so well!
These are my favorite videoes. The simple yet powerful magic in connecting with you ✨ Even though it’s through a screen, it just feels authentic and warm 🥺 Thank you for sharing your gift.
candle tapping was amazing!! unfortunately summer passed by quickly for me as well, worked every single day and studied for university, but thankfully i had your videos to look forward to always!
I discovered Maria when I was sick with Interstitial Cystitis and was in absolute hell. I didn’t know what ASMR was back then (2011), but I just knew that she made my life a little less awful and she was the only one who could relax me. She is also the most raw and real about her own life and struggles, as well as being incredibly talented. If I’m not mistaken, I believe it took her eight years of hard work to get to a million subscribers and she just kept plugging away. Maria, you deserve every bit of wealth, recognition and accolades that come your way. People think they can just “piggyback” on what Maria (and a FEW others, very few) have done and they soon realize it’s not so easy. Also, as she has stated, she struggles, too. It takes A LOT of work and attention to film this videos and create content for us. And the pressure of meeting YT ever-changing algorithms has to be exhausting. Maria, you are a gem and so many of us are better off because of you. Please know that when you are struggling.
this is why she is THE QUEEN of ASMR those last ten minutes are divine/heavenly
Hair brushing is the ONLY thing that gives me tingles! Please don't ever stop!!!
I completely ADORED the last part of the video with babrely any lights, absolutely incredible, I wouldnt be mad if you di that again towards the end of a video or even a full video like that, its so sleepy!!
I do not remember much of this video from last night because I fell asleep so quickly hehe. Thank you Maria 💜
How warm this asmr video is! I like the depth in it as well. Wish you all happy autumn 🍂 🤎
I loveeed this video… it just felt kind of magical. It feels like a good friend just came to visit or something.
This video (all your videos honestly) felt like a warm hug as an adult. Sharing your experience with depression and feeling guarded. Feeling like it's ok to feel this way, and it will pass. Thank you 💗
Its true, some people have an ASMR quality to hand movements. Others feel like they're doing aerobic hand workouts and their mind body and spirit aren't in it. Ive always felt so calm with Maria's. Also my friend's mom has her master's in sign language interpretation. I've always gotten ASMR when she signs slowly or sign interprets songs.
I’m 3 weeks postpartum and your videos are constantly playing when my baby and I nap! I swear she recognizes your voice from when I listened to you all through my pregnancy! Baby Maria says thank you for helping us sleep - and she knows you’ll like her name, too!
She is the best ASMR artist on youtube. She has given so much, she means so much….a million thanks to you Maria!
The wooden brushes NEVER get boring lol
Thank you Maria. You really help me so much while I struggle to live with Arnold Chiari malformation of the brain and a condition called EDS. Your work is therapeutic and medically helps. You have a holistic gift. There isn’t anyone like you. You deserve to be honored for the years that you have provided such incredible and healing service to many
I need more of the low lighting with the lamps and chimes. Its so good ❤
Oh my, the countdown was pure magic. ✨
Ты спокойна... на душе покой... твои веки тяжелеют... ты полностью расслабляешься... ты идёшь записывать видео на Русском😌...
Haha cute. I hope she makes one for u, friend. ❤😊
Нас очень многое, кто этого видео ждёт! 🤗
@@Сергей-х8р8фа я больше не жду, отписываюсь .. как то это неприятно , свои своих не бросают. А здесь лишь бизнес к сожалению
Maria we all lose sight of the important things. But always remember the unimportant things that take your attention away go away too. Don’t over complicate things for yourself. It’s a flaw us humans have. Focus on the beauty of life and what its beauty can do for you. Lots of love ❤️
Love is the most valuable currency we have to give as humans, second only to time. You're an incredible person, Maria, and I hope you know how important you are to this community! Personally you were my introduction to ASMR many years ago, I distinctly remember you standing before a whiteboard translating core english to russian and even back then you exuded love (to use your own terminology lol). You represent comfort and security to so many of us who struggle to find peace in the late hours, and for that I will forever be grateful to you and your craft. Much love to you and yours, Maria!!
As soon as you hear “good evening” it’s like 🤤
I love this moment of connection with you, Maria. Thank you for being so true to yourself and willing to share your humanity with the world. You comfort me in times I feel most alone, with words of wisdom and compassion and encouragement. Thank you. Thanks so much.
I love how you address the camera (us/the viewer) i love you hand movements aswell ❤
I remember one of your first videos. Late night wandering around your apartment doing asmr sounds like scratching a leather couch etc. Been watching ever since. Thank you Maria for helping a chronic insomniac.
I love these deep talk moments from Maria. You always feel understood and it's like talking to a good friend. Thanks for being there Maria ❤
Maria: 34:20 "15, 16, 17... 19, 20"
18: Surprised Pikachu face
You are so amazing! Discovered you over the pandemic and look forward to every Monday! Love your sister's videos as well. Would actually love to hear more of your "I've grown up" insights. Think I can relate!
I'd love a whole video of you just talking about the sponsor. Like an asmr version of the polishop product videos
Infomercial
That's what I'm saying
An asmr infomercial
Totally agree
Awww Maria you got so emotional and I’m THERE. I’m dealing with a really heavy situation and I just…. Cry. I forget to look for the beauty.
The floating hands are so nice...like the tails of mermaids under the ocean or...something like that 😅💕
