- i've had way too many turtle chips this week
💌 [open for (1) new message]
trying a few new things with editing... idk i'm still in my burnout era, unfortunately.
this week felt like i did a whole lot, and barely anything at the same time. ugh, adulthood is annoying. but look at me being miss social! i'm making an effort and it's been fulfilling. letting go and putting myself out there :')
i also answered some questions about living alone for a mini q&a, but i wanna get more into some of these topics (like budgeting, etc.) lmk what you'd be interested in hearing!!
take care,
annika

1:20 yellow leaves mean you're watering them more than you should, brown leaves mean they're having too much sun, hope it helps ♡
Why isn't this comment higher?-
I never knew that thank you for giving tips about my plants
Yes, and they don’t need to be out in direct sunlight, mines been chillin about a foot away from a south facing window for the last 6 years. Great leaf advice dani!
indirect sublight and water when the soil is dry if i remember correctly! using a wood pick helps, you poke the soil and if there's dirt stuck to the stick it's good to go, if there's not, its dry and it needs water and you need to drown it if it has a drainage hole :)
@@jbs_mullet yes! This is my “shoot did I remember to water you a week ago” plant.
can we just appreciate the fact that..despite while being stressed out and going thru anxiety.. she finds time for vlogging,working, editing, uploading.. like i love her videos soooo much.. her videos just cure me soo much and itsjust so calm and satisfying to watch whenever the time... ❤️💞💘 love ya annika
Edit: Mooommm Im Famous
Agree ☺️💖
Agreed
I already appreciate her
agree
ikr!
Being a teenager, every birthday hits harder because i’m getting old, but watching these videos makes me excited to mature and grow to become my own person one day.
ps. for the annoying elbow dripping while washing your face, i recommend wearing scrunchies on your wrists to absorb the water
To share my experience; I loved being a teenager and never wanted to grow up and be an adult with responsibilities, however, as soon as I tasted some of that independence at 18, I was so excited about growing up. I’m 24 now and I gotta say, being an adult is so much better than being a teenager. And I loved my teenage years I wasn’t socially awkward or anything
Introverts unite. Hi Annika. Living in your own isn’t always that simple. It can be quite the struggle to figure out everything on your own. Wishing you the best.
Aaagh this comment is so freaking wholesome:)
helloo! did you comment on a faline san video recently i saw someone with the same pfp
she is motivation river
@@vexologist :0 , u know faline
Totally agree with this comment!!
I gotta say: Thank you so so much for everything you do for us!! It needs to be said that you do not have to record stuff when you don't feel like it but yet you still do. We struggle with you, we laugh with you and that's so rewarding. It's such a great reminder that we are in fact human, too 💕🥺 I hope you are doing well and again, thank you for inspiring and letting us be a part of your life!
Could t agree more 💜
@@khalilahd. I see you everywhere
Agreed making vlogs is hard and she always produces such amazing videos she's such an inspiration to me ❤️

Being an introvert is really peaceful 😭💌just by seeing Anika’s TH-cam channel❤️😎
I LITERALLY AM IN LOVE WITH HER CHANNEL.❤️❤️❤️
ME TOO! her videos motivate me so much omg and annika seems so kinddd😇🫶🏼also i recently started my own channel if ya wanna check it out~~i just posted my what i got for my birthday !!
annika !! you've quickly become my favorite creator on this platform🤎i love getting to see your thought process through the captions and you inspire me so much to be intentional with what i do and i cannot thank you enough for all the motivation you've given me. you're ACTUALLY relatable and that's wonderful🥰and.. i watch your videos way too much that i actually had a dream that i met you :,)
This channel allways makes me want to go out and do stuff! :D Thx for the motivation, Annika!! 💜
yep
Thanks for this nice video and for sharing your experience, even though I’m not living alone, but your videos makes me think about how much I could to do to keep myself independent, which is something that growing up needs~
Every time I watch your videos I feel like we're old friends catching up. I'm so glad you're trying to be friends with different people. I was in the same dilemma: introverted but needing friend's company. I've decided to join a book club with other girls who felt the same. It's so nice talking to people from different places. See you next week~
You uploaded this a couple years ago and I have you playing in the background as I journal (like I always do) and then I heard you say "I'm the one that chases the people..." and im just like "game girl"... I am the same way. hahaha You're amazing, I love your videos, they always brighten up my day. Oh and congratulations on all your success. 🥰
i love your vlogs! and you are so beautiful and i can't wait until you have 1 million subscribers your channel is growing up fast ! keep going
For the part where you got water all over the counter when you were washing your face. You make them actually... Scrunchies help the water from flowing down ur arm!!!! Also I love your videos!!
I really empathise, being heavily introverted and living alone myself. While I'm fortunate that I never feel lonely, things can be so challenging dealing with them by yourself all the time. Especially when you live far from your family and you're adulting. Getting around in a new place, new bank accounts (if you live abroad), learning how to drive and getting insurance... so many things were so much harder when I first moved abroad by myself so sending hugs. Chin up girlie, do what's best for you ❤️😌

I love your summer vlogs Annika! The sunshine and good eats always put a smile on my face. I also love catching up with you because it always feels like I’m catching up with a friend. Plus you motivate me to get my life together 😅
it’s so entertaining to watch this aesthetically pleased video! tysm, for doing these amazing vlogs/ videos!
Hey gurl congratulations for 800k followers here on TH-cam !!! I’m so proud of u
same
@@oliviaclairexo yea ofc 😊
@@Alondrisss-h3m
Aaaaa the animal crossing music will never get old♥️
This is the earliest I’ve ever been I love the video
Money trees need moderate sunlight and water. I suggest putting somewhere where it gets sunny in the mornings but shady in the afternoons :)
I can always help with plant advice!
Thanks for the motivation ! Introverts unite
wooo a new annika video!! ty for the vlog! :-)
When I am stressed I watch her videos. They are so asesthic ,fun etc.
She is really cool . I watch her videos 100+ times. I appreciate that she works hard to please us . Well ,good news cause u did please us .😍
I liveeee for these vlogs
I am usually a quiet commenter but Annikas vids really inspire me so much!! The aesthetic is amazing! Music is calming so entertaining. ❤️ She puts in time just for us is so great.. Thank you do much Annika whoever reading this, have a great day or night.
ive never caught a video so early :0 i love your videos theyre so inspiring
For the past weekends I've been crying bcs I felt like my life is boring. I'm either at work or just stuck at home. I probably see my best friends at least once a year only. I felt lonely bcs I was just home while others have weekend plans.
After watching this vid I realized that I should also try to go out more. I, too have to make an effort and not just wait for my friends to ask me to go out. 😭 Sometimes my problem as well is when I'm about to go out I feel like backing out and just stay in bed and be in my comfort zone again. 🤣
Scrunchies on the arms while u wash ur face, life saver😘
Not me feeling offended when annika first ate the drumstick with a fork. Girl whyyy😭😭
But dw all has been forgiven😌
Simplesmente Espetacular Maravilhosa Magnífica..
Annika I would LOVE a bigger video on budgeting if you're comfy doing it :0!
calming vid ☺
Thank for watching love annika beautiful look beautiful video beautiful pretty woman annika like you very much ❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌼🌼🌼🌼🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
i rly loved the "NEW JEANS"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Annika your literally my fave TH-camr ever, you have inspired me so much that I’m not the same person I was before I started watching you! 😭❤️❤️
I love your content but oh dear, do not use plastic gloves for cooking AND eating! This is soooo wasteful and bad for the environment! It’s ok to get your hands dirty sometimes, just wash them afterwards :’(
The salmon got divorced and had a child that made me crack up. 🤭🤣 but anyways I love your videos it’s the kind of videos I watch every single day 🫰🏻
I've had that Breville toaster oven for years and it's seriously my favorite kitchen appliance I own! I never use my oven anymore... I like to broil veggies in there. Also broiling salmon with the skin side up turns out great as the skin gets nice and crispy. And I found baking cookies with that is a lot more consistent than my regular oven was. It's definitely worth the bulkiness :)
Hi! I'm not sure if you did this intentionally, but it reminded me of my comment on your last video, suggesting to use your voice in videos. I personally think you did that a little more (okay, a lot more), but I loved it! It made the video seem a lot more real time and personal. Sorry this was a lengthy comment, but just wanted to put that out there.
Hang on she had 100 videos 2 days ago now she has 99 videos she probably deleted a video-
Oopppp
Ok one of those trays go in the bottom of the air fryer to catch whatever falls through the rack. Check that out please to avoid burning food on the elements. Love your videos.
so excellent
Every day i watch you youtube video
❤️🥰😍🥰😘
Im so glad you uploaded again!
Your Videos are so calm🎶🫶💗
The plant is probably lacking nitrogen so if you could get something to give it nitrogen it will help
loved you I want you to be My girlfriend love you From Algeria ❤❤❤❤😫
I would take a look at the roots of that money tree. This kind of yellowing and leaves falling look like root rot to me. Hope it helps! ;)
Your plant might be getting too much direct sunlight and burning. Also, you make some of the best looking food. 🍯🐔
yayyy i love these vids, im enjoying it very much! the subtitles are so funny best wishes annika
Your lifestyle is absolutely adorable! I couldnt even have motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Your videos inspire me and make me want to take care of myself. Introverts unite! I love your content!! 💕🧸🧠⭐️
Ahhh! I'm early! Was waiting for this video🌼
I feel for her so much like can i just exist without…people??
I want to live alone too😭😭♥️♥️
hey annika!! just wanted to say that i recently came across this channel and ever since ive loved your organizing and living alone vlogs.
they inspire me to keep myself organized (sometimes) and makes me less scared about living alone in the future ^^

Hello Annika!
I'm just on the verge of moving, and I'll be living alone for the 1st time, so thank you for the kind words! I was really needing that extra motivation... 😇
Kisses from Portugal 😘
Ngl got a little sad when you put the toaster oven away, end of a good era
HELLO OMG IM SO HAPPY U POSTED!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your channel is so inspiring you're literally a blessing! You make me feel better about my depressed life, and I LOVE the vibes from your channel! I hope you get to 10Mil because more people NEED to know about your amazing channel! Best of luck getting through anxiety, or any other ethics you're struggling with! And 9:30 reminded me of one of my other favorite channels I forgot about, (Darling Desi) thank you so much! Honestly if I could I'd buy so much stuff from your shop, you deserve the money and support!😊🍓✨
*Or any other problems you're struggling with*
I love your videos so much they are amazing

Annika - "food should be enjoyed w/o holding back!"
also annika - *eats food w/ gloves
I like your life🌸💗💗
As an introvert myself, I get it. Sending you hugs! ❤️
Teeeeeheeee! Oh my goodness! I left the comment earlier before finishing the video! You featured my opening!!!!??!! 😍😭😭😭😭😭 You are so sweet!!! Wow this made my week xo
is there an age limit for you japan trip?
I like your all videos Annika.😊 Thanks for making the videos.😄
Lots of love from India.💜
Hey Annika! I'd recommend getting a moisture meter for your plants! The money trees are most likely thirsty! And the air fryer maybe could go in that gap under your island? On a little shelf maybe? Have a great weekend!
Congratulations for 800k Annika❤
Hi Annika! I just wanna reccomend u a sauce I made for french fries, etc... Dont worry its SUPER easy
Ingridients: Butter, Milk, Salt, Cheese( I like to get the slices)
Step 1: Get a bowl, a tablespoon, (optional) teaspoon
Step 2: Add Butter(about a quarter-half of a table spoon), Cheese(1 if ur using the slices of cheese), 3 pinches of salt, and about 2 teaspoons of milk.
Step 3: Moosh moosh mix mix, doesnt gotta be until it looks like sauce
Step 4: Get rid of most of the milk, bc it ends up salty.
Enjoy! It doesn't LOOK too good+ doesnt rlly look like sauce but its delicious.
My mom was just frying some fries and I randomly decided to make something. Literally just for fun. Im 10 btw, recipe super kid friendly. Literally no measurements needed, just estimation.
oum i know i cant win cause i live in philipines
Excited for new video!!
8:56 I have those same shorts and honestly I AGREE WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA????
Yellowing leaves tend to be because overwatering. Let the soil get dry between waterings. Put your fingers deep in the soil, if its wet then keep waiting.
“food should be eaten without holding back”, yes & i’d eat that without gloves & sucking my fingers, ma’am 💀
Hey can you do the winter break at September? Because summer is almost over
Hi! First, loved the video. The whole time I was like omg me toooo! (Hangry, washing my face elbows mess and also taking off makeup as soon I come back home, feelin lonely etc) So many similarities honestly! It's Hard working for yourself at home all the time and lately I too have been feeling the all alone sad vibes. If you ever need someone to vent and relate to with, I'm all ears girl 💕🙌 boss babe introverts unite!
I love your vids so much :)))) also why do you call stuff she btw I just think it’s funny 🌸😊☺️❤️ omg I just realized I’m in the video I’m the girl at the end!!!!!! 😭😱 I literally cried I was so happy thank you so much for recognizing me!!! I’m so happy!!
omg first of all ur so pretty and i agree! AND IM SO HAPPY FOR YOUU😇🫶🏼also i recently started my own channel if ya wanna check it out~~i just posted my what i got for my birthday !!
@@oliviaclairexo Hi Olivia Claire!!! I guess we both are Olivia’s lol 😆. Thank you for commenting on my comment also I checked out your TH-cam channel your so prettyyyy and I like your vidsss. Also I’m wondering what do you use to edit you videos??
@@olivianock3819 aw yess we are! thank uu and i use splice pro!
Not my idea but saw it online...if you made yourself a couple of towelling material scrunchies and popped them on your wrist while cleansing, they save your elbows and countertops from all the water! X
Thanku so much for posting ahn ❤️❤️. U make my day ❤️💖
İ love your vlogs and videos
"if you've never mixed your food you've never ate" LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
omg I miss your room arranging/moving or whatever videos :(
Edit: ROOM MAKEOVER
Edit 2: also I’m early : )
The breville is the best thing I ever bought. Get rid of your toaster oven, toaster, all of it. One item fits all! 🥰🥰
Love your vlogs,....your creativity and your business entrepreneurship. Living alone since I was 25, (60 now) loving every minute of it. Never felt lonesome. But, other than you, I have a job where I have to go to, ever since I was 18. Therefor a bit of a different situation. Perhaps a (part-time) job (outdoor) could be a good way to get more social. Should you wish so. Hope you keep enjoying making vlogs. Wishing you lots of creativity and a happy life!
air fryer is a GAME CHANGER!!, i have retired my toaster oven and willl NEVER LOOK BACK!, 😤😤😤
LMAO STARTED LAUGHING WHEN I HEARD THE INTRO OF ATTENTION WHEN U WERE SHOWING THE JEANSSS, LUV UUU !! ps. pls make a vid abt who u stan and biases im so curious to know
