Buy yourself a warm mug of tea ☕️, a comforting lunch 🍜, a new candle 🕯️, some cozy socks 🧦, a movie ticket 🎟️, or whatever brings you comfort right now. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with all of us! Rest and enjoy time in nature.
Oh my goodness what even!?!! Thank you so much 😭 Hope youre having a lovely autumn with cozy moments and nature too!!!
I'm sorry it's been rough. I feel you. But your videos are one of the few things I count on to bring a smile and a sense of joy. I'm very grateful for you and I'm sure I'm not the only one! 🙂
thank you always!
You are the second person I heard in one day say her travel video which they put so much love and effort into didn't do so well. I don't get why. Your videos are so lovely and I get happy when I see the newest one in my feed. You have a great community here that will continue to watch you. Your efforts and hard work are appreciated. Keep your head up. 🤗
TH-cam’s algorithm change is really hitting people hard 🥴 and thank you so much!!
Ah.. feel refreshed while watching your daily life, and places you visits… so cute ! And love the atmosphere again ! The cafe where you have been with the toast look so pretty.. and I love the framing with the beats of music you choose.. and the people we see walking, just life.. so nice to follow you in your days. 😊
PS: You are so beautiful ! ^^ and I like the fact that you allow yourself to just feel your emotions saying to yourself « it le valid, it’s a cycle » I think we usually thing we want to suppress this feelings but we don’t have to necessarily. It’s juste a little season. And it’s understandable.. =)
I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for someone like you (generally positive and cheerful) but also with a large following to talk about these more "negative" and/or sad moods or how they can affect us. You are truly doing something meaningful, thank you Cari 🥰 I know it's a bummer when certain videos don't perform as you expected, but the value and quality of the content is there regardless of the metrics, trust us
Fun fact, if you download the libby book, keep your kindle in airplane mode, and don't exit out of the book (to main page) you can continue reading past the library due date. I do this all the time because my library only gives us two weeks and I like big books :3 and it didn't affect the next person in line, the loan still ends in libby and it still goes to the next person in time
I had nothing comforting words to say but thank you for still showing up every Friday & Sunday on TH-cam. Just thank you for existing. And like a line from a song said: 'Win no matter what' we must not let these odd feelings take over or ruin us for a long period of time. Hwaiting!
Excited for your next travel vlog! ♡
Stay hydrated and safe. 🌻
exactly!! and thank you so much :'''') hwaiting to you too ❤
Hey Cari, sending you love and hope you feel better soon! Honestly, as nice as cafes and bookstores are, hearing your honest thoughts and struggles is what makes your content so relatable and soothing to watch- I know I’m not alone in having bad days! Don’t be too hard on yourself and take care. 😊
Thank you 🥹🥹🥹
The winter hits me so hard, especially with the loss of daylight. I've been struggling with staying motivated and not falling into a slump, and it's reassuring to know that I'm not alone during these seasonal slumps.
Definitely never alone 🫶
Sending you good vibes only from Poland ❤ We've already had snow. Winter came early. Hot chocolate, a book and a blanket always great idea 😊
I think I commented on one of your videos last year at this time as well, but youtube clearly doesn't see art even when it's under their nose. You're one of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure of watching, so please don't let things like algorthims get you down. You brighten up my days with your anecdotes and adventures!
This time of year always hits me hard. I'll be sure to go rewatch your travel videos because they're awesome and deserve love 😊.
It's so frustrating that learning language requires practice. I barely talk to people enough in english!
When i visit Korea I'm turning to you for all the best cafe and snack locations.
thank you so much always!!
I live in Scotland and out of nowhere it has gotten so cold. I have been chattering and shivering everywhere. But you talking about it pouring and then it being windy and sunny is just normal scottish weather 😭😭 also sorry to hear that you are feeling bad sending warm hugs 🫂🫂
lol yes i miss that! i remember a night on the isle of skye where the wind was trying to tear our front door off the hinges and then the next day was gorgeous hahha stay warm!!
i do not usually write a comments on youtube but this time i just wanna say how grateful i am to watch your videos, every time i tell my friends about your channel i say it's a good day because cary cake uploaded a new video.
thank u some much for making our day every week
Honestly the self awareness to know exactly why your feeling down, and recognize and honor those feelings is so huge ❤ these videos bring me so much joy when I’m stressed so just know these videos are healing to others no matter the algorithms perception of them
It’s definitely been one of those crying on and off weeks (being an ARMY that 4-for-1 enlistment notice hit hard this week) and thanks for sharing all those honest feelings ❤
there's truly something in the air! and wishing you a happy 2025 comeback
Literally watching this on my last day in Korea! Thank you so much for your neighborhood vlogs. I used them to create my itinerary for the last six days! (Also went to Montauk like four times LOL)
hope you had an amazing time and omg yes montauk deserves the multi trips ahahhhha
I love and expect your videos every week whatever the algorithm says.
thank you :'''')
you should feel great you are amazing everybody gets down sometimes but rise above it and be the person you are a beautiful strong woman with great talent. stay safe
cari your content is ALWAYS great! seriously. It's so well thought of, beautifully edited, you'r always so kind and nice and considerate and keep finding new spots of korea to show us. you're great at what you do!
Your content is always wonderful, it is sometimes difficult to catch up, due to the internet being in general a very overwhelming place, but I tend to come to your channel mindfully, wanting to have a cozy time with your videos. If this helps in any way, there is no video of yours that I do not find great. You always give me a relaxing cozy inspiring time. So thank you. I hope you feel better now and will be waiting patiently but excitedly for your next video, as usual.
I'm having a bad time recently so I decided to snuggle up with some tea and cake and watch your videos that I haven't yet watched. Thank you for reminding me that these emotions that are bringing me down are temporary and don't dictate my life. Love your videos as always
Current temperature in Seoul: -1°C
Enjoying your cool Korea lifestyle + shopping vlog so much!!! ❤❤🥶❄️❄️
thank you! its -3 where i am :'''')
eep nothing like getting cozy on a cold night before my birthday with a new cari cakes video 😁
omg happy early birthdaaaay!!!
@@caricakes thank youuuuu
As always, your videos bring me a lot of comfort 💖 sending you lots of love
thank you^^
It was just thanksgiving in the US & I wanted to share that when I am feeling down I try to make a gratitude list of things I am thankful for. It quickly becomes too hard to list everything! Of course feeling the feels is also important but when I am in a rut I found that focusing on things I am grateful for really helps. It takes a lot of practice for it to become second nature but once it does you will just find yourself doing it naturally every day.
Sooo sooo much golden content in this vid ❤ and sorry you have been feeling icky. I related to your talk so much- time of month, overwhelmed with projects etc and my vlogs haven’t been performing well either. Glad you are allowing yourself to feel everything out and I hope you can take a full mental break from all the stress at some point this holiday season 🤍🙏🏻
Cari you are your worst critic. We love your content and hope you don't ever change. Korea is so beautiful and such and interesting place to live. Thanks for all do to present it to your viewers. You were right to say we all have bad days but for the most part it gets better. Take care and know your followers love you.
Cari. I'm sure you feel quite an obligation in a sense to produce your always enjoyable content every week, especially with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Keep in mind though that if you were to take a break maybe to "decompress" a little, we'll still be here when you return. You have a lot on your plate and a little breather would be ok with your fans, I'm sure.
Thank you for the peace and comfort you have been bringing us for the past years. Every time I get to spend some time watching your videos, I get so excited about what the future holds and how creative can help us all get through those dark times. Thank you for the light you're bringing onto the world weekly x
I was not feeling great either the past 2 weeks and I started watching your plot summary videos for the Mortal instruments and they gave me LIFE. I've moved to Crescent city and now ACOTAR. Loves your channels; loved the Gyeonju vlog, I'm always looking forward to new videos :)
Whenever I watch your videos my boyfriend asks if I'm watching "Caricakes' short films" because they are so artistic and show things in a really unique light. I always enjoy watching them! Hope things are looking up!
Feeling bad about feeling bad! Yep, I get that. I hope you're feeling much better about everything.
Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for sharing how you’re feeling, I think it’s so important for anyone who has relevant media exposure, and it’s just so hard to accept being down sometimes! Your plot summary videos are my go-to comfort videos whenever I feel sad and stuck🤍
thank you :') i have a new plot summary coming your way for christmas!
@@caricakes love that!🫶🏻
Korea has the best cafés for sure...so unique and amazing..
Your vlogs always cheer me up, they feel like a warm hug on days that aren’t going so great. I love hearing you share your thoughts and film little things in your day. Take care!
You are amazing as you are and the views on a video will not change that. Glad to know that you were heads down to fix it.
thank you always!
I’ve been watching your vlogs every Sunday for at least the last six years and your reading channel vlogs every Saturday since you started the channel. And I loved your last two travel vlogs (always love your travel vlogs) - but I did notice that I had to go to my subscription page more lately to find your videos, they aren’t always popping up on my homepage - despite the fact that I watch every video you post- so it’s probably the stupid TH-cam algorithm more than people not wanting to watch!
sending you so much love cari 💖💖
sending lots back
as someone with APD i really appreciate the subtitles!!!! they help me sooooo much. i also love when creators put their thoughts into text on the screen but arent saying anything. i appreciate the time you take for silly ppl like me
Kyobo is my favorite place, regrettably not because of the books -- but because of the amazing stationary... and pens. (I have book allergy : )
i specifically avoid that area because it would be hell for my wallet hahaha
Today feels like a good day to stay inside looking outside, sipping tea and binging your videos for extra warmth and calm. Thank you for making your videos. ❤
This is so funny how we all transform into a whole new different human when speaking other language while trying to imitate the right tone and accent 😄 like you with Korean here in the video haha so cute! Also, Cari, don’t worry about video performances too much, I can’t imagine how hard it is to be in a public eye and be sort of publicly judged for the life you are putting out here on the Internet. I actually loved your recent videos very much 😊 it’s gonna be okay 😊 just the year is coming to an end so a lot of us are having anxiety reflecting on our work 🙈
The way im also in my feels rn but cant exactly pinpoint why. Except i know how to fix it, and watching ur vids is one way
I have subbed to you!! Thank you… been checking out ur winter vlogs in Korea. I’m flying there tmr and I am so hyped and ready 😍 to visit for the first time in my life hehe
Hi Cari❤ we wait for your videos. They are like a therapy session 😊. Glad you exist to break the monotony of our lives and bring beauty. You are ❤.
I can relate to the feeling of having too many projects going on and you only have two hands ❤ Our brain works way faster than our body, so when i feel down i watch vlogs like yours while sitting and knitting in my cozy corner.😊❤
Every time I’m in seoul i inevitably end up at kyobo. I miss book stores in Canada and the US haha.
I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling overwhelmed. Just wanna say you’re doing a great job and it’s okay to put things down if they’re simply too heavy. Always supporting you girl! 💕
thank you so much!! and ugh yes kyobo pulls you in!
Wow such a beautiful city ❤ blue skies, no clouds
Oh my god I went into sage finch a few months ago and talked to her about how i found her place through your videos hahah
Omg maybe it was you she was talking about then!! She was so happy about it 🥹
@@caricakes that's so cuuute 🥹
Every one of your videos are amazing cari ..❤❤ so love watching them xxx
thank you always!!!
last year during this time I was in South Korea too. Experiencing the same atmosphere I used to feel during that time there through your vlog, really made me happy (also a bit nostalgic hehe)
hope youre back here again soon :')
ahh love going to this 교보!! it honestly has the best selection of books! if i'm ever in dire need of a book, i go here!
such a chill vlog! hope you're staying warm!
I enjoyed this vlog. I hope you're in better spirits now... and was that a Kurt Cobain t-shirt?
thank you and yes! stolen from kurt (my husband, not cobain lol)
Those kind words on days when you're not feeling it are so important - thanks for the little pep talk!
Watching your Vlogs is so chill from a sunday´s bathtub! Found your channel when I looked for Vlogs from Sapporo since I will stay in Japan for 3 months beginning in January 2024. After that, I will spend 9 days in Seoul so I highly appreciate your Vlogs from Seoul 😊 Greetings from Germany and keep up your relaxing videos ♥
Dear Cari, I'm one of your biggest fan from Singapore (hope you'll visit us one day) and I've been here with you since Day 1. Seeing how you progress and grow makes me so proud and I am always proud of everything you do. Your videos are always so calming and I always get excited everytime a new video from you comes out. I have a dream to meet you in person one day and let you know how amazing you are, how beautiful and talented you are as a being. We all have those days where we feel nothing, feel so much and everything in the middle. But I'm here to remind you that you are doing great. You are doing your absolute best and even when there are days you're not able to show up your 101%, that's okay. You're going to be okay and better days will be on it's way. Thank you for putting yourself out there and for carrying yourself so well. Take care of yourself, Cari. You're doing amazing as you are. Sending you all the love 6 hours away and sending you all the happiness you deserve as well. Take things slowly and one day at a time, go on your own pace too. Nobody is rushing and forcing you to be at your best all the time. We rise, we fall. So videos brings us so much joy and we hope we can give you that too. YOU ARE POWERFUL, YOU ARE AMAZING AND YOU ARE THE BEST! ♡♡♡
Thank you so much truly :''') I've actually been to singapore about 3 times and love it there! sending love~
I am always watching all your videos, it’s my very early Sunday morning treat 😍 and your content is enjoyable just because of the diversity and honesty. The new darker (here very rainy) season always brings a bit ups and downs , thank you for keep on going and sharing 🙏🏻 🍀
Thank you and hope the darker days treat you kindly!!
Somehow, I felt so grateful the whole time watching your video. I was able to see things and go places without physically being there because of you. I am really grateful for your videos and appreciate your beautiful work! Your videos are virtual get away for me!
this has been a SILLY STUPID emotions week!! it just has!! we got this :’)
Truly!!! Everyone i talk to feels the same 😂😂😂
I know it's gonna sound a bit weird but this vlog came out just in time because I literally just came out of some days where I was down, and the way you explained the rough days you had resonated so much to me because it put into words what I went through. You are seen and understood and probably when you made it you didn't exactly intend it but seeing you (a person I really admire) go through exactly the same (a storm of things hitting on a very inconvenient time) helped a lot.
Humans are amazing I guess 😊 take care! I've never experienced winter but I've heard the cold is really rough on people's emotions.
You got this
I used to live one block away from Guang Hwa Mun. I has changed so much. I remember taking bus in front of the palace. I guess those bus stops are all gone now. I totally get what you're saying about feeling down because you feel like not having done those things you wanted to. I feel like that now. I need to find my priority and concentrate getting one thing done. Thanks always for your VLOG, Cari!
Yes alllll the bus stops changed and it took a long time to get used to ahhah
Cari I was just feeling like you. But your videos make me so happy. I hope youre feeling better. Today my period just came, so I know I would have my like 3 happy days of the month soon haha. Sending you love from Chile.
your videos are my comfort place on the internet. i just feel so at peace watching them. i'm sorry you had a rough day and hopefully you feel better by now. see you soon! 💗
hi Cari :) I had a harsh week too this week for a lot of different reasons but it’s okay!!! sometimes it lasts longer but you can still enjoy the small moments and have great days in between :) I think what matters is that we just try to do the next best thing and go from there! thank you for the video, I always love starting my Sundays with you 🙏 I have a question: where are you taking your Korean classes? I just finished my semester at a Korean program but would love to continue learning on my own online :) thank you 🙏 have a nice day, hope you enjoy your trip :)) Busan right? haha
hope your next week is a lot easier! and im starting at easy korean academy :) and nope, not busan this time!!
My family and I look forward to your videos every Sunday and we always watch them with coffee and sweets (because of course!). This has become our Sunday routine. Your content is always exceptional and there's no need to change 😊🎉
Hi Cari! I've been watching your channels for years and I'm always so grateful that you share such awesome vlogs and content if that's any comfort to you. I appreciate you and the work you put in. Sending lots of love and good vibes 💕
Hi Cari, I completely feel you. I've also had a knot of thoughts and tasks that I couldn't untie, and I'm still figuring out where to start from. Coincidentally, we have also had the shortest autumn ever here in Northern Europe, like, it started snowing already mid November and we have now -15°C thermical feeling... cold makes me so tired and I just feel like wrapping myself into burrito mode and sleep through until March. I know we will be able to go through these moments, hwaiting!!!❤
Such a wonderful variety of foods in South Korea cafes ❤❤❤
so lucky!!
👋🏻❤🇫🇮❄ greetings from cold winter wonderland❄🥶. I'm having hard time with my school but little by little everything going to better.
im glad things are looking up!! stay warm :'''')
You are the ONLY TH-camr that I will go back and rewatch. Your vlogs give me such a calm escape from reality. Thank you. ❤
Another lovely vlog! Thanks for being open and sharing the good and the "ugly" of your daily life. I feel you (also going through those winter blues because of a really cold and gloomy winter here in Switzerland) and I hope you feel better soon. Sending you a warm hug ❤
Isn't it funny how easy it is to hydrate in summer and how easy it is to forget in winter? In winter, I can go a day on a single glass of water and not even notice
Hey,Cari 😊 I just want let you know that we're going to watch your videos no matter what! Because you're an amazing and talented human being ❤ your videos always are so so beautiful, atmospheric, interesting and cinematic 📷 thank you for being honest and transparent 🤗 love you 🫶🏻
I am understand your feelings. I am in a similar situation. I am also feeling bad not to be there in every place, situation in 100% as I wanna do. Every time I am really bad mood, I say alwas to myself "You are doing well". Even if I cannot believe it right away. 😊 I learned and still learn during my father's illness how precious is our life, our time, how we spend it.
Carie You are doing well. Everyone You all are doing well. ❤
Thank you Cari! For making us learn to romanticize daily life and appreciate little details of it. Always makes my Sundays and puts hope and positivity to face the new week. ❤
Your videos always come at the perfect time for me. Whenever I feel a bit blue, and they, without fail, end up making me feel better!
Thank you, Cari, for these cozy vlogs 💖💖💖
hey cari, i would LOOOVE if you made a vlog entirely speaking in korean (if you'd feel comfortable one day) i found it easier to understand when its a voice i already know and maybe its a good chance to practice and gain confidence. just a idea! love your vlogs and book recs. xo :)
Why do we never talk about what a style icon you are?! Great was to start my Sunday, thanks for sharing ❤❤
😂😂😂
i look forward to every single one of your videos! You bring so much comfort and joy and also make me want to travel more. I know it can all feel very overwhelming but sending you a bit of warmth in the cold.
Also, idk what video youre talking about but your video about your trip to Gyeongju is still on my mind! I literally booked a little solo weekend getaway because I was inspired!
비를 쫄딱 맞으셨네ㅋㅋ
슬슬 추워지는 계절 이예요
감기 조심하세요!!!
There’s still no sign of cold here so I’ll live the cozy winter vibes through you haha thank you always cari!! ❄️🫶🏻
we've got plenty of cold here in korea for you ahahah
@@caricakesI want to visit so badly 😂 especially around this time
that little message to care about just small ants is so heart-warming in this cold weather.
🥹🥹🥹
Sending you a big hug and lots of love! Hoping you feel better soon, it must be something in the air/the season change, my friends and I have been experiencing similar moods. So I hope it gets better soon!
It sucks that TH-cam has been killing your videos, you don't deserve that at all. Hopefully it's a small comfort but I love every single video you post and can't wait for new ones! 💕
I do feel the same some mondays, I really recommend you to make some cools plan at afternoon like going out for dinner or some cafe. I really love your videos, they are really interesting ane cozy at the same time❤
This is the first vlog of yours that I have watched and looks like this is going to be first of many. Love how comforting the entire thing was, and yes the color is a bit dull for me if I want to add some color I prefer going with yellow as its bright but calming at the same time. Loved the vlog, gonna binge on some more🧡🧡
i've been watching ur vids for nearly a year now but never left a comment!! i love ur videos sm and it hits diff now that i've moved to seoul for my exchange and can relate to the comments abt the weather hahah and can finally visit all the places u recommend!!!! u inspire me sm and i love how u share ur honest thoughts and feelings - its what makes u my fave vlogger!! i hope u take this next week easy and keep warm as we've got lows of -7 degrees !? also its my first time in korea and i had to learn how hot the subways were the hard way (aka wrapped in 4 layers) can't wait for the next vid and will be rewatching ur travel vids in the meantime :)) (esp the UK ones as im from there heheh)
Hi Cari! Your videos are so fun to watch that make me feel like I'm travelling every weekend. You have a genuine and original style. So, thank you for making them :)
I can really relate to what u felt quite close maybe cuz i also work in video making and editing stuff, and yes that it is a cycle where things will get better soon. to be honest i’m feeling that low energy today cuz i had to prepare for a new project for monday which include a lot of new things and i’m not sure whether it will work or not so that made me feel nervous for tomorrow. Anyway seing ur new vlog pop up help putting a cheerfull mood to my day😊 thank you cari
I love hearing you speak Korean! It is super inspiring! :) I hope things get easier and you have a great holiday period! Your videos bring so much joy! :)
i love your vlogs much! they're just so comforting and cozy to watch, your vibes are immaculate
I love your “oh no I’m going to get it” when you got the book…that is me with books and plants😂😂
You really don’t need to worry. Your content is great, my favourite person. Love being part of your experiences living in South Korea. Would love to visit one day. X
Have a lovely lovely day Cari! You brought joy to my live every single time you uploaded your vlogs!! Its currently a perfect cozy and gloomy day in Tokyo :)
Thank you 🥹 and give tokyo my love!!
it's finals season for me and i'm also feeling totally overwhelmed! but this is a passing moment. i hope you get everything figured out soon & take rest when you need it! sending many warm hugs.
tfw you have to ⏸ the video multiple times to look up every book on screen 📚😂
hahahha
Thank you for your lovely vlogs. They bring so much comfort and joy 😊 You are doing great! ❤
Your videos bring me so much comfort. Thank you for sharing your world with us so often!
the way I’m going through the EXACT same thing rn (but for me it’s more abt school and preparing for graduation). thanks for sharing your feelings it really helps in not feeling as alone or crazy😭. And I’m definitely gonna try the focus on one task tactic lol
I hope you're feeling way better by the time you've uploaded this! Def been feeling weird myself lately. Your videos make my week, you're doing awesome!!
