Spring is hereeeee! Finally! I feel like Seoul has been stuck in a warm-ish winter for so long, I can't wait to have greenery back in my life. I tried to vlog a bit of my life this week but it wasn't suuuper exciting. Just a lot of sitting at my desk and eating carbs :) I hope you all are doing okay and that spring makes it way to wherever you are soon (srry to my southern hemisphere people but i love autumn a lot too dont worry!) See you guys next time^^

Hi everyone! We have 2 days left in my film fundraiser! I'm donating 100% of the proceeds this week from sales of my film photography to Feeding America. We just passed $300!! Darkroom has partnered with me to donate all the shipping/printing fees as well so genuinely 100% is going to be donated! Open until April 7. Check out my prints here: caricakes.darkroom.tech/
Can't wait for my print!!!
I really want to buy one or 2 but the shipping price doubles it for me, I’m in the UK and I just can’t afford for double price 😔
Is it weird that I feel like were friends and were face timing and your showing me your days? That's how it feels. That's the energy you give and I am very grateful for you energy in this time. You videos always make me smile. (It feels weird to keep commenting on your videos because I have never commented on videos until yours but I have to give my love and appreciation for your energy and smiles. ) But I hope you are doing well, that you are healthy, and safe. Until next time. Love from SF
wahhhh thank you so much! hope you and your loved ones are doing okay in the bay!
@@caricakes All of us are fine. I can't leave my house much because of my immunodeficiency but I'm fine too for now. I hope you have a sunny day.
Its a parasocial relationship
Maybe this sounds weird but it's so nice with a vlog of someone appreciating the small things, like just taking a walk and enjoying spring, you know? When you live in a big city, in my case Stockholm before I moved abroad, you just go from A to B as efficiently as possible. You go on autopilot, stressing away with everything else, all the musts that need to be done etc. So, in the end, you no longer stop and live in the now, you don't look up and take a proper look around and appreciate the moment, may it be smells, the weather, the flowers or whatever really. I burnt myself out in the end and had to re-learn to do this, "life" so to speak :)
I don't know why my original comment didnt post but i totally understand this! i would get this way in nyc sometimes but something would always come along and be so funny and beautiful that you had to sort of snap out of it and notice the world around you. Seoul does that a lot to me too :)
@@caricakes I need to learn to do this more, that's one of the reasons I love watching your vids because they become a reminder for me. :)
we have a budding philosopher here, hehehe

Next time Kurt rages on camera you need to have some of that Mongolian metal as bgm 😂
LOL
HAHAHAHA. Yeeeees. Great idea. :P
Kurt, drinking tea is one of the greatest joys of life. I can attest to that. ☁️🍵😌
right!? no shame in having an overflowing collection!
Omg Cari... You're the best person ever. I'm a cashier and if someone would bring me a piece of homemade cake I would die. Once I told a customer who was not even a regular that I was coming down with a cold, and next time he came he brought me a jar of honey and it made my entire month. I tear up whenever I remember that lol. Idk its just so heartwarming, no one really appreciates us people behind the register. I've loved you for years now, but you just continue to prove that you really are one of the absolute best people on here. You make the world a better place. Thank you
Omg yeah i would have sobbed too hahaha I’ve worked a few jobs like that and i get way too attached to my regulars LOL also i talk to her more than some of my close friends haha
I was supposed to fly to Seoul this week because i wanted to see cherry blossoms for the first time of my life. But due to the current situation, I’m not able to. Thank you for the closeup of the cherry blossoms. It feels like i’m there enjoying spring day
there will always be another spring! hope you're able to see them yourself in the near future!
14:46 THAT GREEN JACKET IS TO DIE FOR omg I'm obsessed 😻
Raging Kurt is the funnest thing! 😂😂
his random meltdowns are so entertaining
Loving the fresh spring vibes in Korea at this time. This video brings back a lot of personal memories for me in Seoul. Stay safe, strong and happy April 🙌💯🌸🌿
Same to you! Happy April!!
Kurt's outrage at the tea is too cute! he seems too sweet to ever get angry lol
Oh spring is very beautiful in Korea, I was there in autumn. Greetings from Colombia!
autumn is my favorite!!
I miss South Korea the spring around
That background music when Kurt was doing his tea rant 😂 🤣 Fully understand the tea situation though 😅
😂😂😂
@@caricakes I am obsessed with tea and will buy wayyy too much of it so this is a good chance for me to start drinking it :)
The cherry blossoms and the blue sky go well together.
Agreed 🤧🌸
Oh my goodness.Your life in South Korea looks so peaceful amid the deadly virus COVID-19's pandemic all over the world.
I'm living in Korea at the moment with limited cooking appliances lol and I was on the fence about buying a rice cooker but now I know you can make banana bread (my one true love) I am 100% getting one!!!
Yesss do it!! Especially because we dont have ovens here 😭
The hardcore music you played when Kurt was talking about the tea shelf had me DYING
Hello from London, a few days ago we had beautiful blossoms and all the flowers coming out, sadly because of the virus we cant go out and parks are closed but I can still see them through my window :)
thats better than nothing! when you get to go out be sure to give those trees a hug!
Means a lot to me. I was suppose to go to Seoul with my friends (them for the first time, mine for the 4th!) next week but because of the worrying Covid-19 situation here in Malaysia, they've restricted travel overseas so we had to cancel it. Seeing all the blooms spring out in your videos makes it feel like I've living my trip through your vlogs, so thank you :) Always so lovely to start my day with your beautiful positive energy.
Seoul will be here for many springs to come so when all this is over i hope you can reschedule 🥰🥰🥰
Such beautiful time to be outside in Korea! Hopefully we could all go out and explore once again. Stay safe, Cari!
agreed! i cant go see my favorite trees in hongdae but im thankful to be able to walk to so many parks nearby!
Thank you for sharing the cherry blossoms! So beautiful to see. Kurt and the tea was hilarious. My parents nearly bought a tea shop a few years ago and our house has entire cabinets of tea. I actually have an entire milk crate full! Also, now I really want a roasted potato....banana bread in a rice cooker is genius too. Learn sooo much from you :)
A tea shop is honestly the dream ahahah and i might make sweet potatoes again today just cause i rewatched this vlog hahahha
@@caricakes tea video? 👀
you are so cute! as someone who works in customer service, im sure you made that lady very happy with the piece of banana bread 🥺 little thank yous can often make our day if not the entire week :)
she's the best! probably the person i talk to the most irl other than kurt hahahah
This video gives me spring vibes and the yearning to explore Seoul once the pandemic ends☺️🌸
definitely!
I could never imagine using a rice cooker to bake cakes 😱😱 the cherry blossoms are stunning!!! Also the magnolias 🧡
Yes! And in the next vlog i make something else even more interesting hehe
@@caricakes I cant' wait!!!
I am supposed to be in Korea (my second time, lol) by April 5 but we had to cancel because of the virus and we are currently on lockdown 🙃. So Cari's video is my way of seeing city again. Thanks Cari for bringing me around Seoul! 💕🥺
Hey just found your channel recently and am absolutely loving every video. Thanks for sharing your life in Korea - these sorts of videos are literally one of my favourite things about the internet. I don't think I could ever live anywhere other than Canada but I have fallen in love with Korea in so many ways and I love the chance to see what life is like there for you. Enjoy the spring weather! :)
I'm going to have to agree with Kurt on this. There is a line that can be crossed when there is just TOO MUCH TEA! Then it can get real ugly. Have a beautiful tea-filled spring, Cari.
😂
I've always wanted to enjoy the beautiful spring in Korea🥺 thank you for taking us there with you! 💞
I'm also super jealous of the sweet potato pan!!
hope you get to see it with your own eyes one day!
All the blossoms are so beautiful Cari! Staying indoors has been making me go a little bit crazy but seeing your vlogs always puts a smile on my face, thank you!
Hope we're all out of this soon! Sending love!
Love it! You always made my day. Kurt you cant have enough tea, Cari you have my support with the overflowing tea hahahaha, love the bgm with Kurt hahaha. I want to hear more of you speaking Korean you sound really cute.
Thanks for sharing this little bits of spring and your life. Stay safe
Thank you!! He complains until he has a stomach ache and my mountain of peppermint tea comes to the rescue hahha
We were supposed to fly to SKorea Mar26 to Apr4 but everything got cancelled, so thank you for your videos because this is the closest I’ve been to Seoul lol
Seoul will always be here next spring and the next and the next!!!
I really like your Vlogs, they are always so unique yet calming. Also the spring in Seoul is so beautiful!
thank you so much!
what i would give to see cherry blossoms for my sanity 🥺🌸
i've got more cherry blossoms coming in wednesday's vlog dont worry!!!
omg I laughed so much when your bf complained about your tea collection :D My bf is also Korean and he also always can not understand why I need that much skincare, tea and stuff :D Wonderful video as always :)
The blossoms look stunning! Our weather is officially leaning towards winter with lots of rain and cold!
Don't you get an autumn first!? Australia is wild!
Your voice sound so different when you speak korean, i like it a lot, i wish we can hear you more often☺️ And that banana bread girrrl nice job👌
😂😂😂
What a nice way to wake up! I’m currently preparing to celebrate my bfs birthday before he goes into the military, so I’m a little stressed, a lil sad, but mostly just happy to be able to be here. This calming video has helped me get motivated for a fun day ahead !! 🌺✨🌺
happy birthday to the boyf and you're both so brave!
22:52 this frame is the DREAM. took a screenshot. will probably use it as phone background. ugh💗.
😁
I love how you captured all the beautiful things about spring in Seoul🌸 it makes me wanna just teleport from Norway to Seoul and live there for a while 😂 🌸I really love your videos💕
hahahah thank you! meanwhile i cant wait to get back to norway!
This vlog just makes me so happy and we all need that these days! Thank you for vlogging all these beautiful things. 😌
thank you for being with me for it!
Cari! I love it when you talk so don’t apologize💜 the banana bread looked so good, I think I will try to make banana bread too now😂 and the way you decorated your space with your paintings seem lovely!🌸💜
thank youuuuuu!
This video made the happiest I have been in a while😌 Seeing the beautiful weather and the trees made feel so refreshed and I felt like I was there✨ I want you (Cari) to know how much your videos mean to me, they give so much happiness, smiles, comfort and hope🌸 Thank you so much for sharing everything that you do! P.S I am obsessed with your green jacket that you wore in the video!✨😭✨
thank you so so much and omg me too - just need it to get a little warmer so i can wear it hehe
Cari’s hair looks AMAZING through out this video! Like so gorgeous and healthy !
I love how you captured all the beautiful things about spring in Seoul. It makes me wanna just travel in Soil and live there. I really love your videos.😍🌸🌸🌸
I can feel spring from your smile voice! Have a good day, Cari 😊
😊 have a good weekend!
kurt: “I just don’t understand” HAHAHAHAHAHA AND THE MUSIC LMAO
Me: Measures all ingredients, uses fancy mixing bowl, bakes in a loaf pan in the oven=flat top banana bread. Cari: eyeballs the ingredients, tosses everything in this random saucepot, and why not cook in the rice cooker=gorgeous round loaf of banana bread. ARGH!
It was all the rice cooker not me!
omg the music when Kurt was raging about the tea >.< had me dying of laughter
So much lovely content in this video - wholesome banana bread adventures, adorable dogs and beautiful trees! I’ve never seen what a Magnolia tree looks like before but they’re absolutely breathtaking. The Kurt rant over tea interlude was hilarious though 😂
Hope you’re doing well Cari! 😊😊
Hope youre well too 🥰😍
I'm really jealous of how S.Korea has handled this virus crisis. It seems to have been controlled, calm, and coming out of the end of it. Meanwhile most countries are struggling, its getting worse, and Trump doesn't want to wear a mask in fear of looking stupid to other world leaders... smh..
me too. I'm fortunate to even have the privilege of self isolating, but it really does take a toll to have to be away from friends and family for so long. and not to mention that so many people are suffering due to the government's incompetence......
lol @ the transition from Kurt yelling to you just chilling on a scooter. Love the vlogs
All your vlogs are so soothing, but this was an especially nice treat - cherry blossoms, banana bread, sweet potato - yum. We started watching Brooklyn Nine Nine a few weeks ago and I laughed at your reference. We also always say "9/10 mouth feel" whenever we eat something particularly tasty, ha.
Thank you! And yesss! I feel like half the things i say now are b99 quotes haha
Love watching your videos before I go to bed especially now that travel is so restricted it feels like I’m far away from home and completely relaxed :)) have been binging all the vlogs
You have the exact life that I want 😭 So happy to see the little details in your everyday life, I'll go and imagine myself in your shoes now. Love your vlogs Cari! ❤️
ah the cherry blossoms are so pretty, reminds me of when i went last april!
they didnt last too long this year so im glad i caught them on film for this vlog!
I loved hearing about your journal! I can relate to the desire to journal but not being able to keep it up. There's only been one journal that I've found I can keep up: a happiness journal! At the end of each day, I write one thing that made me happy that day (sometimes I'll write more than one). Sometimes it's something as small as "I ate a really good cheeseburger today." Other times, I take a paragraph or two to talk about something I did with my family.
It just always helps me end my day looking at the blessings. Even if it's been a bad day, it challenges me to find something, even the tiniest thing, that was good that day. Now that I've been doing it over a year, each day after I write my entry, I go back to the same date a year ago to reread that entry. It brings me lots of warm memories.
(It's also easy to keep this journal up because it only requires a minute or two a day. I keep the journal in the nightstand beside my bed and write down my entry for the day right before going to sleep.)
I just thought I'd share in case you or anyone else might want to journal but doesn't have time every day. I've loved doing it so much, and I want to pass it on.
Yes!!! I make kurt list things we’re grateful for and he hates it but its easier to say it out loud than it is for us to write it hahahha but maybe I’ll start my own!
Honestly waking up to your post notif was so needed today, I've been having a rough week (still quarantined) and your vlog really calmed me down. I really feel like I can start fresh now! Thank you so much as always! 🥺💖 also I really wanna make banana bread now agshshd new point on my Sunday to do list 🤭🍌🍞
When the steam was coming off the sweet potato my instincts kicked in and I was about to blow on it 🙃🤷♀️
hahah!
I’m going nuts with all those gorgeous blossom around the city ... they look so cute and pretty. Thanks for sharing I might try the banana bread lol
i dunno but I always think about that scene in the wind up bird when someone says they are currently cooking pasta.🙄 binging your vids is my therapy. 😘🌼🌻
no one:
literally nobody:
cari, in every video in her apartment ever: can you hear my wind chime????
(haha it's just so adorable how much you love your wind chime, i feel like it's a member of your household or something
😂
woah! I totally have a picture at Queen Mama Market! my friends and I were lucky enough to stumble across it last year during the height of cherry blossom season and it was so beautiful x
its seriously unreal! next time you're here in spring try "Grey" cafe near Hongdae - its too far for me to visit this year with social distancing rules but its on the top of my list next year!
I got inspired by you and I made birthday cards for my parents (both of them were born on April). I used watercolors to paint flowers for my mum and pokemons for my dad 😆
Omg i love that!!!
You’re vlogs are so beautiful 🧃❤️
Almost make me cry🥺
🙏🙏🙏
I miss Korea so much, and I sort of relive my time there through your videos. This was such a great one!
Thank you for watching!!
I love this video and all the shots of the blossoms and the magnolia tree 😍😍😍😍
Whenever I watch your videos, time flies! you are such a magician:))) Thanks for updating your lovely daily life!! From Seoul
Thank you!!
"It's not a thing that you can just start again."... totally agree with you on that. I have always been writing since grade school until highschool but kinda lost it when I went to college because engineering...ugh... and when I started working, it had to be technical writing. I so wanted to go back to creative writing, tried so many times but I can't seem to find my way back to it.😭
Ugh right?! Its so hard!! Hope we both get back into it soon 🙏
Your vlogs just make my life better during this quarantine!!!
🙏 we’re in this together!
Cari thank you very much for your videos. I've been in self isolation for 5 weeks right now and your videos give me a smile everytime ❤️❤️❤️
Hope we’re all out of this soon!
Good! you know how cook that sweet potato. Look at that beautiful pumpkin colored one.
the weather is so nice lately... and I can only enjoy it from my balcony, sigh...
thanks for all the beautiful cherry blossoms~ 🌸
soak up all that vitamin d that you can!!
I cannot put into words how much I love you and your videoss, wishing you the best~
Hey Cari! I struggled a little bit with drinking water as well (mainly cos I keep forgetting lol). I find the app Plant Nanny helped A LOT cos it feels like I am taking care of virtual plants, and drinking the number of glasses of water per day. You should try it out! ☺️
finally spring coming
Fun video. I was in Seoul April 24th through the end of May of last year and just missed the cherry blossoms. I want to head back but am stuck in Mexico until after the lockdown ends.
Love your vids as always! Just a silent viewer here, but it's so nice to see Korea in Spring. We've been there twice and both were autumn. Nothing beats spring, I think. Thanks for bringing us along. Take care always!
Yup, I also peel my bananas from the bottom. Easy as ever.
Thanks for taking us out and bringing some spring to our lives 😍
glad we've both seen the light re:banana peeling hahahha
Oh my goodness thank you for the lovely spring content
oh my gosh i cant even imagine that!!
I miss spring in SK..
Wish to see them again next year
All I have to say is: please adopt me :)
Also, it’s so nice to see korea is getting back on its feet, I hope the rest of the world follows soon ✨
I do too 🙏
There is so much to comment on here but CaRI cArI CarRiIiIii I lost my MIND at your outfit at 14:38 😍 That patent green jacket with the black top and black & cream & orange bandana???? MMMMM *chef's kiss* fashion QUEEn
I love that you shared your banana bread with the lady from the store, that's adorable!! I enjoy your talking videos so much!
Thank you 🌸
This video makes me very happy but kinda sad :,) I was supposed to be in Seoul/Busan from March 22nd-April 7th, but we had to cancel the trip about a month ago. I've been in self isolation since March 18th and now everyday all I think about is "I was supposed to be in Korea right now but instead I'm still in my pajamas" one bright side is I think I've watched all your videos! I've also had plenty of time to study Korean more so I'll be more prepared when I do go! I'm so happy that you've been posting cherry blossom and such on instagram so I still got to see them :)
Thank you
another bright side is that this spring wasnt the best - the blossoms were only really out for maybe 3 days? i hope that the spring that you are able to visit is our best yet!!!
Such a relaxing video as always! The cherry blossoms are so beautiful!! Thank you for showing us around 🌸💖
🌸 thanks for coming along 🥰
I love your channel so much! Crazy to think that I found it in (I think) 2016 through your tumblr and to see how your channel has grown from 9k to over 100k! Am I proud of you? Yes. Greetings and love from quarantine me stuck in my room in Germany 💛🌻
gahhh thanks for sticking with me so long! hope you and your family is doing okay and we're out of this soon!
cari~ this video is so cute, just like some slice of life. 🍃🌸 ty for making & sharing this total mood up.
🥰 thank you!
Wow I've been binging your videos after discovering them through this miserable quarantine. I was just in Seoul over the winter holiday and am kicking myself for not having found your videos sooner because I didn't have a good time!
You're so effortlessly cool, and it's due to your sincerity and candor. Keep it up! I'm shocked you don't have a million subscribers at this point.
LMAO I use to live in Ulsan, I'm in Gwangju now, but we use to have kakao bikes. And people use to always hoard the bikes in their apartment complexes too and it use to drive me crazy. Sometimes they would even store them in their own homes, like behind their gate!!! I fully support your taking of the Lime scooter just to spite them hahaha not all heroes wear capes
That store ahjumma is hilarious! 😂 another fun video today Cari 💜 and I LOVE hearing you talking as well a longer video of yours~
🥰🥰🥰
How much spring is packed into this video is breathtaking 😍
I tried my best hahaha
I don’t know why your video was recommended .....but watched the whole video was so stressed relived....loved it!
🥰
Omg just found your channel while binge watching Spring vlogs to feel *virtual spring* 🌸 hope everyone is safe out there and in Korea also!
🙏 glad we found each other! stay safe too 🌸
6:27 sad but mood 🤣 i overthink soooo much it‘s crazy
and don‘t worry! Personally I really enjoy vlogs where u talk a lot! ☺️
thank you!!
Omg I loved this video so much, I’m currently stuck at home and this just gave me a boost and how I wish I was outside now. Did the ahjuma love your banana bread btw? 😍😍😍
I actually havent been back to the store yet to check but I will keep you updated :)
Cherry Blossoms are so pretty! Just can't get enough of them, like your videos 😍😆 BTW your hair looks sooo pretty when the sunlight hits it! 🌞
im thankful for them every year! and thank you ahahha
Canada woo 🍁🙌😂 also love that someone gave you real maple syrup too haha. This vlog was so cute (especially when you gave that nice lady the banana bread) and helped raise my spirits 🌸 I hope I can see pretty blossoms like these in Korea someday soon!
I hope you can too and yessss 🍁🍁🍁
Your relationship with the convenient store ajumma is so pure 💕
She’s the best!
Watching this vlog and seeing that things are slowly getting back to normal in Korea gave me some hope that the US will be ok soon. Thanks for this
