Amea Li For a few days now I have been thinking the same thing. I am thinking of starting such a kind of business. It's very risky of course because such a kind of business doesn't exist, that means the waters are untested. But if it clicks that means I have hit upon a goldmine. Does anyone have any suggestions to give me for an ASMR Spa?
Lush has a full sensory experience at their spas in Philadelphia and NYC- only, the tingles you feel aren't with the full intention of ASMR. But my suspicion is that someone over there gets the idea.
9 years ago today my roommate was feeling stressed out and I had her sit down in front of me as I sat on the couch, in front of the TV, grabbed a hairbrush and hair clip and put this (new) video on. Today, that roommate, now married and lives across the country, texted asking me for “the hair brushing ASMR video” because she wanted to ask her wife to do the same thing during a stressful night. I knew exactly which video it was, and now I get to enjoy the peaceful memories too. Thank you, as always, Maria.
Just wanted to comment, this was the first ASMR video I ever watched. Wayyyy back when it was first uploaded. I was in the hospital and had cancer, I couldn’t sleep thinking about how fast my life had changed and this put me to sleep. Only this. I am so grateful ❤️
Reading this made me get goosebumps. I hope you are doing so well 🖤 It’s not the same but my son was born the day he turned 23 weeks gestation and he spent almost 6 months in the NICU. My life was turned around and I had to split myself in to for my daughter at home and my son in the hospital. Maria was detrimental to my sleep during that time ❤
Even though it's SUPER CHEESY I just have to share my story of and learning how to french braid from watching this video! French braids have always seemed so daunting and elegant to me - some mysterious and beautiful trick that other women seemed to know but I - clumsy tomboy that I am - would always be incapable of. Recently I've been growing my hair out as an attempt to 'be more of a woman'. After watching this vid yesterday I felt motivated to try the technique exactly as Maria does. Result: Just left the bathroom feeling very proud of myself: ready for bed with a nice (not perfect) french braid. It seems silly, but I live on a farm with my boyfriend and our boss, so I don't have any female friends out here, and french braiding my hair accompanied by the thought of Maria's lovely hands and calming, instructive whisper gave me a nice old feeling - something extraordinarily feminine and peaceful. It reminded me of being in primary school, when the girls would play with each other's hair or draw pictures on each others' backs while the teacher told a story. It's a strange world, that we connect in this way. But these are real connections and I wanted to share mine. Thanks Maria.
Maria, I really hope that you make a new hair play video with soft spoken. I love so much this one. I watched a thousand times before to go to the bed and sleep. xxx from brazil :)
This video helps my autistic 5 year old daughter to relax at night and go to sleep it has worked for me so i thought i would try it on my daughtet and it worked a treat between the brushing/playing of the hair and your voice being very slow soft and calming she manages to drift off into a relaxing sleep if you could do another video like this 1 it would be greatly recieved thanks
this is how i first discovered some form of ASMR. Girl in class was running her fingers and nails through another girls hair and it was really quiet in the classroom. The girl getting her hair rubbed seemed to enjoy it and i got those "asmr feels" in my head and neck. I thought at the time i was some how adopting the feelings of the girl getting her hair rubbed because i was somehow putting myself in her place. That was the first time i felt that.
To all the ladies who LOVE getting your hair played with....if you have a DryBar in your area.....RUN, DO NOT WALK to get your hair done! They don't do any cutting. It's strictly shampoo, blow dry and style, and for an extra $10 a scalp massage during shampoo!! I love it so much, I bought a plan to get two per month for $75 (it's $40 normally with extra $10 for scalp massage). It's the closest thing I've found to getting this kind of treatment for us ASMR folks. AWE-SOME.
These were the best tingles I've had in a long time! Hair play was my very first childhood trigger. My best friend Bethany used to sit behind me in sunday school and play with my hair, scratch my scalp, rub my head, braid and unbraid my hair, run her fingers through it. I didn't know what was happening, but I knew I liked the way it felt! Then we would switch and I would do the same for her. I still love hair play as an adult and it's one of the reasons I grew my hair out loooong!
I used to listen to these in my 10th grade business class while working , when I first discovered asmr. I’m 25 and use them to get to sleep. Always come back to this video ❤
Women have been brushing and caressing other women's hair for decades. Anyone who is offended by this video should probably stay off of the internet alltogether. Maria puts a lot of time and effort into her videos and they are done with the upmost professionalism and class. She also has things going on in her personal life and does this for your listening pleasure so you could be a bit more appreciative. If you don't like it, don't watch it. To the person who said "temples" sounded like "nipples" to her and she was offended, I suggest investing in the highest volume hearing aid because I heard no such thing. I don't usually rant about the idiotic comments on here but that's just ridiculous.
People take everything as sexual/inappropriate nowadays, they're always looking for something to get mad about...*shakes head*. When I was little, I used to sleep in bed with my two best friends at sleepovers, we'd all hold hands and snuggle....you can bet your sweet little bum people would be like "Ew, so perverted". Ugh.
I think it just shows extreme immaturity on their part that they're going to VOLUNTARILY watch a video and then act like 6 year olds. There is a difference between intimacy and porn; love and sex; warm and dirty. Obviously, the relationship you had with your friends was a healthy, close little girl friendship - completely normal. But the irony comes in when these people want to post pictures of themselves in dental floss on the beach on X Social Media site. Go figure.
I would say it's not even just women. It's everyone. Grooming each other is a animal trait. We've been doing it so long it's and inherent part of our nature. I noticed it when I first taught in Spain. All the kids would sit in a line and do each other's hair or massage each other. Some cultures have sexualised touch so much and we miss out on an important natural bonding experience. It's ridiculous.
I thought that I would enjoy these videos too, but I find it more relaxing to watch the videos of people who actually know what they are doing, i.e. massage tutorials, etc.
Others ASMR artists have made me feel very relaxed with their videos but your videos make me feel relaxed, mesmorized and tingly :-). You have a natural gift. A true healer. I have begun to play your videos for my 9 yr old son with autism at bedtime. He falls asleep in less than 10 minutes. You are our favorite. Hope you never stop making your relaxing healing videos. ♥
I am a nurse and when have had an evening shift i'm having trouble sleeping. I always watch your video's to help me fall asleep. Your voice is so soothing. Sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night with my headphones still on :) Thanx for your videos!
Honestly I wish I had friends to do that for me.. I remember I was a little girl and me and my friend would take turns rubbing each others back gently. It was amazing
Century SAM I remember playing a game where we'd write words or draw pictures on each others backs and had to guess what was written or drawn... those were the days😂
Just reading that gave me a tingle! I have very strong memories of that activity.! As for this video, it triggers me to great effect because I first noticed this phenomenon during haircuts, getting my hair brushed, styled, etc. Back then it didn't really have an official name!
This was my first introduction to ASMR 8 years ago. I thought it was silly at first, but fell a sleep watching it. I adore ASMR and watch it often ever since.
So, about 5 years ago this was my first experience with ASMR. I hadn't had any idea it was you after constantly watching your other videos for years. Thank you Maria, you're the first person to introduce asmr to me, and I bet many others!! Thank you so much! ❤
Maria was my first asmr experience as well I woudent sleep without her!!😊She is my angel when I can't sleep!!I love you Maria thank you for your amazing videos!😂Anyone who dosent appreciate asmr dosent know what there talking about and probably dident even really try listening to it!!Asmr is a talent truly!!😂
I don’t know how anyone can watch these videos holding their phone. Stream it to your TV. Then you can fully relax and appreciate these videos. Truly relaxing
I swear I think ASMR starts in the womb. And as babies we are so close to our mothers, hearing the heart beat, feeling her warmth, her gentle touch and whispers. Even though my mother didn't do any of these things to my recollection, it feels as though it is a natural, innate feeling to hear and feel this
I need to either find a significant other that will play with my hair this way, hire someone who will do this at my beck and call or become friends with a really awesome ASMR RUclipsr that is willing to use me as his/her live prop, because I definitely volunteer.
The sound of the brush gliding through her hair is so relaxing. I love this video. I can feel it as though someone were brushing my hair. So peaceful and nice.
Is it just me or are all of my favorite videos by Maria from 2013? I've been a subscriber since the beginning of 2014 & I think I've watched every video she's made. There's just something about the ones she made in 2013 they're the most tingle inducing for me idk why.
One of the first hair play videos I ever watched, and which perfectly represents the real experience. Still a masterpiece, even so many years later. Will always be one of my favorite videos ever.💖
I am young and I am glad I found this as young as I am so I can experience this for the rest of my life. I used to have really bad nightmares and couldn't sleep but this really helps! Thank you, Gentlewhispering's. You are the best ASMRer in my eyes.
I believe this is the way humans are meant to be in the future soft gentle loving respectful considerate to one another in a positive vibration every min of every day maria you are a good example of how it should be thank you
This is the VERY first video I watched that got me into ASMR over 2 years ago. I was just thinking about it today & decided to give it another watch ❤️❤️❤️
Holy cow 9 years?!! This very video, her soothing voice like little gentle waves, has been relieving stress, anxiety, and the worst insomnia of my life for...almost 20 years for me!! She's amazing...and my new getaway from all that ails for me.. All in just 20 minutes...Amazing u r girl!! I thank u so much...
Pls. Pls. Pls. PLS. Do another soft spoken hair play video. No matter how many I have watched, I always come back to yours, as NOTHING can compare. Pls. Pls. Pls. PLS.
I like that here is a soft voice but not whispering, and that there are no mouth sounds, and no superbinaural effect, really, this is one of the best asmr. can't even find at least one like this, even in this channel. Thanks.
I use this video EVERY NIGHT to go to sleep.. I just have to THANK YOU.. Sleep does not come easily to me and this video helps me so much, and your voice is so relaxing.. THANK YOU! You have no idea how you've helped me! ❤️😎
A bit of a long comment but it makes sense later: One of the best things I've ever experienced in terms of relaxation was when one of my closest friends gave me a shoulder massage in the middle of my school hallway during exams. I am usually so sensitive to massages, to the point where they are painful, but it was so nice and full of love. I was so stressed and my shoulders hurt but then once my friend massaged my shoulders I felt so much better. Anyways, this video reminded me of that moment, and I immediately felt so relaxed. Amazing video, thank you for making it! 💜
everythng about this reminds me of my mom, because she used to sing to me in this tone when i was younger, so i could fall asleep. just so kind and gentle
I lost all my hair a few weeks back going through chemo and my Stem cell transplant. I had long red hair and loved having my hair brushed. I miss my hair so much.😫😥 I love watching the ASMR videos. They are relaxing.
Recently I got a really bad ear infection and I only got about an hour of sleep a day because of the pain/discomfort. But after watching some of your videos, I'm able to sleep more :) thank u so much Maria kisses from NJ
This is like being a little kid again, in grade school, during quiet time, with someone behind you running their fingers through your hair or tracing words on your back. I was one of those girls with the really long, silky hair that other little girls wanted to brush, braid, put in ponytails during story time on the rug in elementary school. It was so calming, relaxing, hypnotic... This takes me way back... Gives me serous tingles. Whoever Maria's model/friend is, she's very lucky. There are some ASMR videos that I love, but this one is hands down my favorite.
Ohhhh this is one of my favourite ASMR videos! I love when someone plays with my hair, it gives me shivers and tingles, and with your voice and the brush sounds...Oh my...so nice.
Hey Maria. I love your videos. I've always struggled with anxiety to a degree (thanks mom), and your videos relax me to the point I'm almost asleep. Thanks for doing what you do! you honestly seem like all you want to do is help others. Take care!
I got so many tingles from this, and I didn’t think I would! It was almost like I was that girl sitting there and experiencing all of Maria’s lovely techniques and hearing her soothing voice right behind me. I haven’t gotten tingles in awhile either, so this was very nice!
5 years later and this is still my favorite video to fall asleep to! It’s amazing 😍 I would love love love to see you make a throwback video in this style! Thank you for your content Maria! 😚
Wow, Maria! Your voice in this video reminds me of Lita in her massage clips... Her videos are what made me realize that I could experience ASMR by watching and listening to videos all those years ago (about 5 years ago)... I didn't even know that what I experienced had a name back then. Well done, this video is simple, but definitely one of the best!
Can you PLEASE do another one of these videos? I love your voice and how softly you play with her hair!!! I have watched this so many times. Thank you! :)
There is I believe! I saw it on Facebook, they call themselves "professional cuddlers" and in the video I saw, they would massage the person, play with their hair, trace their fingers along the persons back and arms.. a lot of ASMRish stuff :)
L. O. L. dude I wonder how your parents felt hearing some random persons voice coming from somewhere only to find it was a video playing on the speaker xD
who else wishes there was an ASMR Spa with ASMR artists that did everything? Hair play, facials, nails, massages....
Omg yes!!
And its location in Arkansas. Because NOTHING "important" is in Arkansas, but I still love it dearly.

+Tania Miyazaki I need a model :(
+GentleWhispering OMG how can you have any difficulty finding a model... I'd pay to have you play with my hair! Haha too bad I'm in Europe...
+GentleWhispering If this is the problem, i'll buy a ticket and fly to meet you and be a model to your hair play ;D One of my dreams! haha
+GentleWhispering you could use a doll. I'm pretty sure they make life sized dolls.
+Tania Miyazaki same!! :)
Gentle Whispering will always be the OG zen master of ASMR. Sometimes I look at other videos, but they just aren't as soothing as these old faves
This video helps my autistic 5 year old daughter to relax at night and go to sleep it has worked for me so i thought i would try it on my daughtet and it worked a treat between the brushing/playing of the hair and your voice being very slow soft and calming she manages to drift off into a relaxing sleep if you could do another video like this 1 it would be greatly recieved thanks

To all the ladies who LOVE getting your hair played with....if you have a DryBar in your area.....RUN, DO NOT WALK to get your hair done! They don't do any cutting. It's strictly shampoo, blow dry and style, and for an extra $10 a scalp massage during shampoo!! I love it so much, I bought a plan to get two per month for $75 (it's $40 normally with extra $10 for scalp massage).

I'm surprised she didn't fall off of the chair half asleep lmao I know I would've !
I would've as well
Maybe she wanted someone who was asmr-immune.

My friend and i have a deal that we give eachother massages after we watched a whole bunch of these
Viper hello
Others ASMR artists have made me feel very relaxed with their videos but your videos make me feel relaxed, mesmorized and tingly :-). You have a natural gift. A true healer. I have begun to play your videos for my 9 yr old son with autism at bedtime. He falls asleep in less than 10 minutes. You are our favorite. Hope you never stop making your relaxing healing videos. ♥
Asmr youtubers should do monthly national giveaways where the prize is getting to be their model for a video or two.

Back in 2013 this was the video that got me into ASMR. Still love it!
Same here!
I loveee to have my hair played with. It's magical.
Honestly I wish I had friends to do that for me.. I remember I was a little girl and me and my friend would take turns rubbing each others back gently. It was amazing

This was my first introduction to ASMR 8 years ago. I thought it was silly at first, but fell a sleep watching it. I adore ASMR and watch it often ever since.
It's whenever she says 'i'm going to....' that I get tingles in my legs. I think this is my favourite video!
I wish I could afford to hire someone to do nothing but follow me around and brush my hair whenever I anted. HEAVEN!!!!! Thanks Maria!!!!
I would absolutely love to brush your beautiful hair Melissa
So would i
10 years ago, when I was 15/16 this was the first ASMR video I had ever seen. Coming back to watch this video feels like coming home
Autumn 2021. I still come back to this to relax vicariously.
So, about 5 years ago this was my first experience with ASMR. I hadn't had any idea it was you after constantly watching your other videos for years. Thank you Maria, you're the first person to introduce asmr to me, and I bet many others!! Thank you so much! ❤
3 years ago* not 5 sorry.
Very same for me !!!
Maria was my first asmr experience as well I woudent sleep without her!!😊She is my angel when I can't sleep!!I love you Maria thank you for your amazing videos!😂Anyone who dosent appreciate asmr dosent know what there talking about and probably dident even really try listening to it!!Asmr is a talent truly!!😂
I don’t know how anyone can watch these videos holding their phone. Stream it to your TV. Then you can fully relax and appreciate these videos. Truly relaxing
I’ve done both, but the sound on the phone is closer to the ear, headphones sound the best but not ideal for sleeping 😅
I swear I think ASMR starts in the womb. And as babies we are so close to our mothers, hearing the heart beat, feeling her warmth, her gentle touch and whispers. Even though my mother didn't do any of these things to my recollection, it feels as though it is a natural, innate feeling to hear and feel this

My mom used to massage my feet till I moved out . Then my husband massaged me. When we divorced, I so longed for touch . 😭😭😭
It’s September 2024 and this is still one of the best asmr videos of all time in my opinion🥹🫶🏻
This is the first video I watched ever 8 years ago. The chills I got that day were amazing.
I’m back !
I need to either find a significant other that will play with my hair this way, hire someone who will do this at my beck and call or become friends with a really awesome ASMR RUclipsr that is willing to use me as his/her live prop, because I definitely volunteer.
Yes!!

+Abby HAmilton yeah same lmao
Sometimes certain cadences trigger my tingles, and the way you say, "Relaaaaxing haaair plaay," at the beginning is just absolutely perfect.
11 years later and this video still relax me. The perfect combo: soft voice, delicate hand movements and hair play... The best!
Do this to me, take all my money.

watching this+ eating chocolate ice cream slowly= pure bliss :3
there's something about Maria's voice that no other asmrtist is able to replicate.
Her Russian comes through and just makes it so click-y and dreamily soft
The sound of the brush gliding through her hair is so relaxing. I love this video. I can feel it as though someone were brushing my hair. So peaceful and nice.
Is it just me or are all of my favorite videos by Maria from 2013? I've been a subscriber since the beginning of 2014 & I think I've watched every video she's made. There's just something about the ones she made in 2013 they're the most tingle inducing for me idk why.
Please make another one like this, I know all the words to this one already ;_;
I would love it if someone did that to me. I would fall asleep instantly.
This is the most relaxing video I ever.........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Gabrielle and drooling
Gabrielle true tht
One of the first hair play videos I ever watched, and which perfectly represents the real experience. Still a masterpiece, even so many years later. Will always be one of my favorite videos ever.💖
I am young and I am glad I found this as young as I am so I can experience this for the rest of my life. I used to have really bad nightmares and couldn't sleep but this really helps! Thank you, Gentlewhispering's. You are the best ASMRer in my eyes.
I believe this is the way humans are meant to be in the future soft gentle loving respectful considerate to one another in a positive vibration every min of every day maria you are a good example of how it should be thank you

This is the VERY first video I watched that got me into ASMR over 2 years ago. I was just thinking about it today & decided to give it another watch ❤️❤️❤️
Holy cow 9 years?!! This very video, her soothing voice like little gentle waves, has been relieving stress, anxiety, and the worst insomnia of my life for...almost 20 years for me!! She's amazing...and my new getaway from all that ails for me.. All in just 20 minutes...Amazing u r girl!! I thank u so much...
This model had the most gorgeous, silky hair. Would love to see a remake with the same model. ❤
Pls. Pls. Pls. PLS. Do another soft spoken hair play video. No matter how many I have watched, I always come back to yours, as NOTHING can compare. Pls. Pls. Pls. PLS.
Please do another video. I watched this YEARS ago I love it so much
I like that here is a soft voice but not whispering, and that there are no mouth sounds, and no superbinaural effect, really, this is one of the best asmr. can't even find at least one like this, even in this channel.
Thanks.
This video was my first introduction to the world of asmr. I was 14/15 and I am 26 now. This video will forever be extra special to me 🩷
I use this video EVERY NIGHT to go to sleep.. I just have to THANK YOU.. Sleep does not come easily to me and this video helps me so much, and your voice is so relaxing.. THANK YOU! You have no idea how you've helped me! ❤️😎
Me too :)
what she said
+Lcanary1 hhu😘uu😘😩i
A bit of a long comment but it makes sense later:
One of the best things I've ever experienced in terms of relaxation was when one of my closest friends gave me a shoulder massage in the middle of my school hallway during exams. I am usually so sensitive to massages, to the point where they are painful, but it was so nice and full of love. I was so stressed and my shoulders hurt but then once my friend massaged my shoulders I felt so much better.
Anyways, this video reminded me of that moment, and I immediately felt so relaxed. Amazing video, thank you for making it! 💜
One of the vids and channel I went to when I first started using ASMR hair to help me fall asleep
All these years later and I still come back to this video ❤️😴 Would love to see another video like this made Maria! 😘
everythng about this reminds me of my mom, because she used to sing to me in this tone when i was younger, so i could fall asleep. just so kind and gentle
I lost all my hair a few weeks back going through chemo and my Stem cell transplant. I had long red hair and loved having my hair brushed. I miss my hair so much.😫😥 I love watching the ASMR videos. They are relaxing.
I hope you feel better very soon. Sending you lots of love. 🥰
Are you doing better now? I hope you are.
Does anyone else wish Maria would be their counselor/massage therapist/life coach or is that just me
This is the best ASMR I have seen. Def top 5 without a doubt. Instant tingles.
Recently I got a really bad ear infection and I only got about an hour of sleep a day because of the pain/discomfort. But after watching some of your videos, I'm able to sleep more :) thank u so much Maria kisses from NJ
prove it
+Joe Davis whaaaatttt??
+Natalie Fontana he meant to say " good for you", he doesn't know how to respond properly in social situations , blame the parents.
+Llama Pants haha thx man 😂😂
Ear pain is the worst to try and sleep with :( almost as bad as tooth pain. Glad you got to get some sleep. Maria's videos definetly therapeutic ♡♡
All these years and it’s still 1 of my favs ❤
This is like being a little kid again, in grade school, during quiet time, with someone behind you running their fingers through your hair or tracing words on your back. I was one of those girls with the really long, silky hair that other little girls wanted to brush, braid, put in ponytails during story time on the rug in elementary school. It was so calming, relaxing, hypnotic... This takes me way back... Gives me serous tingles. Whoever Maria's model/friend is, she's very lucky. There are some ASMR videos that I love, but this one is hands down my favorite.
This is the best ASMR video ever! Your voice is amazing in this one, so soft and gentle. Please do another brushing/hair play video like this!
Ohhhh this is one of my favourite ASMR videos! I love when someone plays with my hair, it gives me shivers and tingles, and with your voice and the brush sounds...Oh my...so nice.
Hey Maria. I love your videos. I've always struggled with anxiety to a degree (thanks mom), and your videos relax me to the point I'm almost asleep. Thanks for doing what you do! you honestly seem like all you want to do is help others. Take care!
She is one of a few youtubers who actually has a gentle voice. I love Maria 💕
I got so many tingles from this, and I didn’t think I would! It was almost like I was that girl sitting there and experiencing all of Maria’s lovely techniques and hearing her soothing voice right behind me. I haven’t gotten tingles in awhile either, so this was very nice!
I am a great candidate for this... omg I love when someone touches or brushes my hair!!
10 years later, still here, still know all the words to this vid.
That girl must be having the time of her life
5 years later and this is still my favorite video to fall asleep to! It’s amazing 😍 I would love love love to see you make a throwback video in this style! Thank you for your content Maria! 😚
This was the first ever asmr video I watched. Its 2022 now and I still love it. 8 years, where did that go!!!
2024 😮😊
Wow, Maria! Your voice in this video reminds me of Lita in her massage clips... Her videos are what made me realize that I could experience ASMR by watching and listening to videos all those years ago (about 5 years ago)... I didn't even know that what I experienced had a name back then. Well done, this video is simple, but definitely one of the best!
Can you PLEASE do another one of these videos? I love your voice and how softly you play with her hair!!! I have watched this so many times. Thank you! :)
I wanna be that girl ❤️❤️
SAME❤️💛💚💙💜
IKR ME TOO!!
so do i I'd love that right now I'm imagining that as me in that chair
there should be a job for people who come in your home and make you relax... massage , play with your hair and etc.... is there such a job already?
There is I believe! I saw it on Facebook, they call themselves "professional cuddlers" and in the video I saw, they would massage the person, play with their hair, trace their fingers along the persons back and arms.. a lot of ASMRish stuff :)
Omg .... perfect, i would hire somebody to play with my hair all day..
Yep, there sure is! It's called "wife" or "husband."

Paw print funny man
We need a new updated version pleaseee
Why? What's wrong with this one?
This is, hands down, my most favourite ASMR video 😍
Oh...I have been searching for something like this for years...Thank you so much. Now I kinda feel like floating on air....very well done!
Heh... I started playing this and turns out it was connected with bluetooth to my dads speaker on max.
L. O. L. dude I wonder how your parents felt hearing some random persons voice coming from somewhere only to find it was a video playing on the speaker xD

Lila Altman Actually, my dad was trying to sleep and it was in his room. He thought I was listening to some kind of fucked up porn.

The most beautiful hair play video. The voice, the speech intonations. Movement and sound. Hair play at it's best. Thank you Maria. 😘
I’ve had a migraine for a week and a half now.......YOUR VOICE IS SOOOOOO SOOTHING!!!!! I just replay it over and over!!!!!
This is my favorite asmr video everrr! I always come back to watch it 💕💕
