@9:25 when you were chopping your garlic, I wanted to give you some info about the antioxidant benefit of garlic, Allicin.💖 When I went through breast cancer in 2016, I would visit a center for people dealing with cancer where you can take various classes for free. I took a cooking class where they teach you some healthy cooking recipes. One of things they taught us was that garlic was a good antoixidant called Allicin. However, for the antioxidant to become active, first you do what you want with your garlic (mince, dice, grate etc). Then after you do this, you leave it on the side for 10 minutes. Then you can use it for your cooking. They said, you have to cut the garlic however you want, let it sit for 10 minutes (which is important) and this will activate the Allicin. If you for example, crush your garlic and add it to your recipe right away. You will not get the benefit of Allicin at all. Just a thought I wanted to share with you from my breast cancer journey.💖
Thank you for sharing this information. I will apply your advice from now on and think about you. I hope your cancer is completely gone! May god bless you!
Thank you for your videos. I'm going through a hard time right now and your videos take my mind off of my sad situation. They are really calming. Kind regards from the Netherlands
@@leonherinx129 heel erg bedankt Leon! Wat ontzettend bijzonder om op deze manier een hart onder de riem te krijgen. Doet me goed! Een fijne avond gewenst.
I couldn't get over how clean the baskets in the store were, totally new and spotless. Here they are quite dirty but I never paid attention to that but now will. I think someone must really clean up those carrying baskets there and the store was super clean looking with food items wrapped.
Then you should see the carts we have in some mexican stores. No maintenance, no paint and squeaky at every turn of the wheels. One of those stores is Walmart. Regards.
Here as well in London. At times i am trying to choose which one is the cleanest. I am very fussy when it comes to this and during the covid times i will take some paper towel to put it on top of the basket or trolley or if ever i see some alcohol wipes in the shop i will clean it first. LOL. 😷 🤭😏
Over here in Germany the baskets are usually quite dirty. No maintenance. Yikes. Sometimes I qm afraid to touch it. During Covid they used to have personnel who disinfected the baskets after each customer. Because of the handle form, the handles started to mold. This didn't feel well either 😅 In your videos everything looks so clean and new. In the shops also. :)
I am a old man now, but lived in Osaka for 3 years from 19 to 22 years old, was the first time I had really been an adult(had lived with room mates but never really alone) I have very fond memories of it, as an American it was a experience that the memory of still brings a smile to my face. Loved the weekly exploration trips to the grocery store, well any store really. Met amazing folks and learned a lot.
I know it can be hard but try to always keep in mind that situations will change. Stay focused on your goals and believe in yourself that bright days are ahead. Blessings. Peace.
Holy crap. You put a lot of work into your meals. These videos of yours are so heartwarming because they look so nice. To live in Japan would be a dream come true.

Hi Lou your life is like my life living alone in a foreign land I learned how to appreciate my being independent .At first I was a little bit anxious but now I am a used to being with myself for 23 years.
И что за 23 года так и не нашел друзей? Каждый день рутина и это счастье и свобода? Это не жизнь, а прозябание. А как же занятия спортом, походы в театры и на концерты, в музеи, на выставки и т.д. да просто погулять по парку? Иначе можно свихнуться и никакие записи в тетрадку не успокоят вашу душу.

Greetings from New Zealand. I like the way they sell a single carrot wrapped in a package. Here we don't have plastic in shops anymore. We use brown paper bags.
Why would you need to wrap a single carrot in plastic? That wrap ends up in the ocean or needs to be burned with energy emitting toxic gas when burned.
And you are doing extremely well. Those plastic wrappings are a nightmare for the environment. Why would you need plastic all over your carrot ??? Plastic is toxic !! Even small plastic water bottles are toxic.
Hello dear one…this is my first time watching your channel. I am so impressed with you!!! I am a retired, single nurse living in Washington, USA. The simplicity of your life is beautiful. I am disturbed to realize I have too much, too much house, too much furniture, just too much. No wonder many Americans suffer from some form of anxiety. I would love to know more about you…perhaps more will be revealed in more of your videos. Good luck with your channel. I will be so interested in watching all of your postings. You are amazing ❤ By the way…that carrot looked delicious, it was so big, I didn’t know what it was at first 😃
I found your channel last night and watched a few of your videos which are mesmerising. I am totally fascinated with Japan and it is the one Country I would love to visit. Such a beautiful Country and respectful people. I love how you create the most amazing wholesome foods in your kitchen. Thank you for sharing with us. xx
One serving of almond milk is the equivalent of about three almonds. See if you can make your own by blending a few almonds with water and a pinch of salt, and sugar if you like. You can strain out the flesh if you don't want it, but the fiber is good. Oat milk is easy to make too, by soaking instant oats till soft then blending, then straining out the solids. It's very good for you and delicious!
This is a good advice because if you check those super market almond and oat milds you will realize they are only containing a very low percentage of almonds and oats !!!
Hi! Miss lou Your so brave to be alone and living all by yourself in japan So inspirational to watch your everyday routine what your doin' Thanks for sharing Always take care❤❤

@@NGeo-ci3qjэто изначально нелогичное, нелепое, глупое и просто ошибочное мышление: "лучше ..., чем как / что / с чем / с кем попало". Да, лучше вообще не рождаться, чем родиться в какой попало семье - то есть, лучше вообще не попробовать жить, чем жить как попало... Нет! Избавься от этого инфантильного и максималисткого синдрома жертвы и попробуй улучшить свою жизнь! Человек это биосоциальное животное, которое не может быть одиноким. Если рассуждать объективно, то нам придется обратиться к царице всех наук математике, к точной науке, а конкретнее к статистике - где нам становится ясно, что среди одиноких людей в процентном соотношении несоразмеримо больше страдающих ментально людей, чем среди людей, у которых есть отношения. Среди одиноких людей гораздо больше наркоманов и суицидников, людей, которые запустили себя. Все начинается с оправдания "это лучше, чем с кем попало" и заканчивается известно чем. Когда у человека есть вторая половинка, ему есть ради кого стараться в свое же благо, ради кого расти личностно, а не опускать руки, потому что ты наедине с собой и можно позволить себе все вредные привычки, ведь никто не осудит, как и не поддержит твои хорошие начинания. Это нескончаемый лабиринт по поиску смысла жизни. Если бы все люди придерживались такого мышления, то нас бы не было, ведь это "лучше", чем «какие попало дети» от «кого попало».
@@mistyvioletconservative.3889 Все люди живущие в цивилизации полагаются друг на друга ибо так устроено человеческое общество. Каждый человек эгоист, но только самый большой эгоист (и к тому же глупый) это будет отрицать. Невозможно полагаться только на свои силы и только дурак учится на своих ошибках, тогда как умный на чужих. Поэтому и люди сначала объединились в племена, а потом племена объединились в нации. Чем больше людей - тем больше решений возникающих проблем, тем быстрее люди развиваются и тем проще выжить. Нас спас коллективный разум. В противном случае человечество бы вымерло ибо нас истребили бы другие виды, которые не полагаются только на самих себя. По одиночке мы никто, а вместе сила. Это правило работает со всеми видами, но особенно с людьми, у которых нет других преимуществ кроме интеллектуального объединения и совместного развития.
Watching from California, I am amazed by the prices. Although I'm fortunate that the selection is wide and the cost is low relative to the rest of my country due to growing so much food in our own state, it's still SO much higher than your prices that I'm starstruck! When I visited Japan we noticed low prices of food compared with home, but we thought it was mostly due to being a time of the exchange rate in our favor. And we could not cook while in hotels, of course, so we only saw prepared food prices and didn't notice ingredient cost. Thank you for showing this shopping! Your channel is really lovely!
I live in Texas, and I too was surprised by the low grocery prices in Japan but for a different reason - not because they are lower than here but by the fact that they are almost comparable to American food prices. When I was younger, I remember reading about exorbitant food prices in Japan, so either the Japanese government is doing something right to bring them down, or American food industry mafia have been jacking up our prices because they can, using COVID as an excuse. Everything seems to be much more expensive in California because of the taxes your government has imposed on all sectors of economy to pay for their state's pet projects.
@@NGeo-ci3qj I feel silly. You're absolutely right. Accounting for exchange rate and kg vs lb, these are pretty much exactly the same prices I pay (our sprouts are still a little more expensive, for some reason - probably just a less common ingredient here). Thanks for solving that one for me!
I love the pots with the grab-on handles. What a great space saver! Glad to see you ate some good protein. Your kitchen is tiny but, you use it efficiently. I raised two kids in a very small kitchen (by American standards)! In any case, everyone was well fed.
Very relaxing and informative videos! I have been eating healthy thus year, somewhat, and intend on taking it to the next level with absolutely no junk food. Watching you prep and prepare something other than chicken and brocoli as Americans do is fantastic. You have me interested in cooking again!!!!
Japan, one of my favorite place to be, clean places, disciplined people and lots of places to go to. i will surely be back soon, thanks for sharing my friend
Even the packaging in Japan is pretty. A very healthy shopping basket....don't know how you manage to resist a bar of chocolate when going round the supermarket 🤣
I was the same way and finally figured out I had vertigo!! I dice apple, onion and add to my tuna with mayonnaise only - so good! Sometimes I even add diced nuts - try it you might like!! No milk please!!
Hello! I want to thank you for this video. This is the first video I’ve come across from your channel, and I’m loving it. I have some anxiety and sadness issues I’ve been experiencing lately, and watching this video was incredibly soothing to me. I’m definitely going to check out your other videos. Sending hugs from the suburbs northwest of the Metropolitan Washington, DC area.
So glad you sought medical advice, Lou. Dizziness can be a scary thing, but its good to know that many times the problem can be solved easily. Water. Stay hydrated!!! Take care
I enjoy your videos. For me, they are calming. I, too, lived far away from my parents when I was in my 20's. You are stronger than you know. The lessons you learn now will benefit you your whole life long. Enjoy every minute.
I found you last week by accident. I look for videos about Japan and Japanese recipes. I love how you fill your day with activities that promote a fulfilling life. I too live alone. I will be 63 this coming weekend. I am Puerto Rican and I make Puerto Rican food most nights. I love how you prepare your meals. I enjoy the trips to the supermarket. I have one question. How big is your apartment? As an American (Puerto Ricans are US citizens) we have huge kitchens with big appliances. I admire how you always get the job done efficiently. I hope to see more videos. Also, why did you go to Japan to work? Have a bless day. Keep the videos coming. I adore them.
I like how you tell your days, your way of dealing with everyday problems and the truth that emerges from your videos ... thanks for being a source of inspiration❤️
I truly enjoyed watching this! I thought i was the only one who shopped and cooked like this, altho uve given me a few additional pointers to implement (not to mention new dinner ideas 😊), so thx! You seem like an admirable young woman who’s jus trying to make her way in this world by living an organized, healthy and well balanced life. Keep up the great work! ❤
That was a very great video,I love the cooking parts because I love to see what oils you use in your dishes..also thank you for sharing your life..I love how you write your thoughts every day,its such a great idea..
Я живу в России, для меня было удивительно увидеть морковь в индивидуальной пластиковой упаковке. И грустно что для вас говядина дорогая. У нашей семьи нет проблем, родственники фермеры и говядина, свинина, курица в достатке. Зато нет такого разнообразия грибов в магазине. Но мы живем рядом с лесом и в сезон можно бесплатно собрать в лесу)) Очень познавательно было посмотреть ваше видео! ❤❤❤
Видать и молоко у вас натуральное, а не эти в пакетах. Ещё отличие - я хлеб сам делаю в хлебопечке Panasonic по своему рецепту с натуральным молоком, маслом, яйцами на живых дрожжах. Мне так показалось, что ы моей квартире японской техники больше, чем у японцев (во всяком случае у этой дамы). Сложилось впечатление, что в России поудобнее и сытнее жить.
@@АльфредАльфред-я8е молоко, масло сливочное, сливки - все домашнее, в магазине такого и правда не купишь) Сытнее тем кто на земле. У нас частный дом с большим участком. Там и сарай для кур, индюков, уток. Теплица с огурцами и помидорами, огород с зеленью и овощами. Садовые деревья. В общем, многое покупать не приходится. По поводу техники. Это зависит от семьи, мы без телевизора, микроволновки, мультиварки, миксера, кухонного комбайна, соковыжималки, робота-пылесоса отлично живем, а мои кум с кумой нет, у них все и даже больше)
Adapt is another word I use to help me deal with what I can not control in my life. I wish you the best....amazing how quickly your channel has grown in just two weeks!!! 20,000 + I'm very happy for you. Be well, take good care of yourself and peace/healing/joy in your life. 💜💜💜
@@iwantalbuquerque7770 Hi....so sorry, I get the feeling of pain and fear from just your few words. Life is not easy for so many today...I'll be 70 in a couple of weeks, I have no friends, birth family left, and a son with aspergers. I guess I was Forced Into Adapt other wise I would have lost my mind...my life became so un manageable because I felt the need to control everything because I was so scared/scars of emotional pain. Just like this channel's growth in 5 months since I posted last, ask your self where you want to be in 5 months from now and figure out a way to do something kind for yourself each day towards that goal. It's not easy to be kind to yourself, took me many years to stop bad mouthing myself....all of this has lead me to a more accepting way of living, a desire to be kind and positive to all I encounter, a few words, a smile. And finally with age, I've had to adapt because I've no control over 'aging body issues'....I wish you well, peace and healing prayers to find your way towards ???? that will bring you Joy In Your Life.💜💜💜
I love your videos! They always make me want to clean and simplify my house. ☺️. I think you are an amazing young lady living on your own in a foreign country. I love how the packaging of food is done in Japan. Have a wonderful day!
I just came across your videos today and I just want to say you are an inspiration. You are a kind and sweet soul and it wants my heart to know you give back because you knew hardships growing up. Keep up the wonderful work and life! Bless you from Canada!
I don't think, that's cute, I think about the much more waste 🙈. Here you can also buy single carrots ( or other vegetable or fruit) without any wrapping.
I love the way everything is wrapped separately for cleanliness and safety. I know it's not good for the environment, but if the plastic can be repurposed that would help, imo!
O seu vídeo apareceu hoje nas sugestões. Gostei muito do ambiente calmo e de ver a organização do dia a dia no Japão. Os preços dos alimentos são idênticos em Portugal mas não temos porções tão pequenas já completamente embaladas (poupamos no plástico ;-)). Espero que as tonturas tenham passado. Tudo de bom e sucesso para o futuro.
Thank you again for another soothing video. When I watch your videos I feel calm, kind of like I tucked into a favorite book. I admire your dedication to your goals. ❤️
Bonjour Lou 🤗 merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo. Je suis contente car les vidéos de Lou deviennent de plus en plus populaires et c'est mérité 🎉💕 Merci beaucoup de prendre de votre temps et pour toute les anecdotes sur le système de vie au Japon.

This was so lovely to watch seeing you carefully prepare your lovely meals I wanted you to have a nice cat that will keep you company. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful life in Japan
Hi Lou. 🙋♀️ Here in Brazil it's Sunday morning and I just got back from church, so I'm watching your video right now. I really like to follow your routine there in Japan. God bless you. Greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷
Hey love! I'm from India. Recently came across this video, just wanted to check if your dizziness has gone away by now. It was so peaceful to watch your video. You're an inspiration for many how you handle everything so gracefully. May God bless you with success and good health all your life❤❤
Excellent job Lou, such well made videos. I'm sure you have had lab work done regarding your dizziness. Low iron was my culprit, now I take iron medication. Look forward to you sharing your life with us. Be well and all the best to you.
If you buy plastic zip lock bag for marination you put all inside and move from outside with your fingers. Saving on dishes and helps overnight marinade too plus flour dredging works good too 😁
Yeah, I just bought brown rice on Amazon. I also got tuna steaks, Atlantic Salmon, brussel sprouts, sesame seeds, chili sauce, oranges, garlic and Albacore tuna. I like tuna in oil vs water.
I appreciate your great attitude. I've always loved Japan. It's so cool to be able to see "a day in the life" . Thanks for sharing your time with us... Hello from Minnesota :)
Hi Lou, new subscriber here from Sri Lanka. Thanks for taking us on your shopping trip. I enjoyed it very much cause we don't have anything like that here. I really liked the fact you are not scared of showing your face. I cannot understand why so many doing blogs hiding behind the camera. There's one called Nami and I have been watching her channel for sometimes but now bored very much. Every video is same and she eats for 4 people, how she do that is a mystery. I like yours better cause you seems to be very down to earth. About your dizzy problem, check your sugar level immediately. I am born with low pressure problem and whenever it goes down I sweat and become dizzy.
Hello, just started watching and appreciate that you price the items in the store that you bought. I live in Hawaii and it is expensive in comparison. I get dizzy from dehydration, if it is hot, and if I don't consume enough protein. Sometimes I put a packet of electrolytes in my water if I need extra energy. An East Indian doctor online recommended a squeeze of lime or lemon juice in water to help staying hydrated. I hope you feel better soon.
Nice blog Lou. You're a strong person. Living alone in a foreign land is tasking and stressful but, you manage it well. Stay strong and beautiful ( though you never showed much of your beauty) in and out. Be safe always. By the way, what's playing on your background music? Love it!
Instead of putting the frozen shrimp into the microwave to defrost try putting it into the colander and running warm water over it to remove the ice and separate them.
Very. Interesting. I like seeing how other countries live. I’m in the middle of the USA. I appreciate your cooking healthy food and taking care of yourself.
I love that nail color and the healthy groceries you select! Your videos are a calm, soothing balm during days when that kind of thing is really needed. (Beef is too expensive over here in the USA for me, too.)

I learned how to appreciate my being independent .At first I was a little bit anxious but now
I am a used to being with myself for 23 years.
И что за 23 года так и не нашел друзей? Каждый день рутина и это счастье и свобода? Это не жизнь, а прозябание. А как же занятия спортом, походы в театры и на концерты, в музеи, на выставки и т.д. да просто погулять по парку? Иначе можно свихнуться и никакие записи в тетрадку не успокоят вашу душу.

in france is 3 euro a good can of tuna (but a "normal" one is around 2.24), so yeah we're doomed in EU lol
You guys can drown your worries in alcohol. That's quite cheap compared to the Netherlands...

Ty so much to let me see your life, that's very kind of you to share this! I love the Beautiful simple meals we should all be eating this way!
Greetings from New Zealand. I like the way they sell a single carrot wrapped in a package. Here we don't have plastic in shops anymore. We use brown paper bags.
👍 that's what I thought also here in Germany we are trying to use less 👍 greetings to
Why would you need to wrap a single carrot in plastic?
That wrap ends up in the ocean or needs to be burned with energy emitting toxic gas when burned.
And you are doing extremely well. Those plastic wrappings are a nightmare for the environment. Why would you need plastic all over your carrot ??? Plastic is toxic !! Even small plastic water bottles are toxic.
Hello dear one…this is my first time watching your channel. I am so impressed with you!!! I am a retired, single nurse living in Washington, USA. The simplicity of your life is beautiful. I am disturbed to realize I have too much, too much house, too much furniture, just too much. No wonder many Americans suffer from some form of anxiety. I would love to know more about you…perhaps more will be revealed in more of your videos. Good luck with your channel. I will be so interested in watching all of your postings. You are amazing ❤ By the way…that carrot looked delicious, it was so big, I didn’t know what it was at first 😃
I found your channel last night and watched a few of your videos which are mesmerising. I am totally fascinated with Japan and it is the one Country I would love to visit. Such a beautiful Country and respectful people. I love how you create the most amazing wholesome foods in your kitchen. Thank you for sharing with us. xx
Your parents must be very proud of you. You are a hardworking brave girl. I hope you continue having good health and happiness❤
One serving of almond milk is the equivalent of about three almonds. See if you can make your own by blending a few almonds with water and a pinch of salt, and sugar if you like. You can strain out the flesh if you don't want it, but the fiber is good. Oat milk is easy to make too, by soaking instant oats till soft then blending, then straining out the solids. It's very good for you and delicious!
This is a good advice because if you check those super market almond and oat milds you will realize they are only containing a very low percentage of almonds and oats !!!
Hi! Miss lou
Your so brave to be alone and living all by yourself in japan
So inspirational to watch your everyday routine what your doin'
Thanks for sharing
Always take care❤❤
Air fryer - one of the best cooking gadgets I bought. I use mine nearly every day. Just roasted some almonds in it - delicious!
В одинокой жизни без людей есть особое спокойствие. Уметь быть наедине с собой очень хорошо❤
Зачем же молодой женщине быть одной...
@@siz9525
One must first learn how to be joyful and content with your own self first, before you can be joyful and peaceful with someone else... how peaceful and joyful and content are you by yourself? Or do you rely on other people to make you happy and content?
@@siz9525 чем плохо быть одной? Это лучше, чем быть с кем попало.
@@NGeo-ci3qjэто изначально нелогичное, нелепое, глупое и просто ошибочное мышление: "лучше ..., чем как / что / с чем / с кем попало". Да, лучше вообще не рождаться, чем родиться в какой попало семье - то есть, лучше вообще не попробовать жить, чем жить как попало... Нет! Избавься от этого инфантильного и максималисткого синдрома жертвы и попробуй улучшить свою жизнь! Человек это биосоциальное животное, которое не может быть одиноким. Если рассуждать объективно, то нам придется обратиться к царице всех наук математике, к точной науке, а конкретнее к статистике - где нам становится ясно, что среди одиноких людей в процентном соотношении несоразмеримо больше страдающих ментально людей, чем среди людей, у которых есть отношения. Среди одиноких людей гораздо больше наркоманов и суицидников, людей, которые запустили себя. Все начинается с оправдания "это лучше, чем с кем попало" и заканчивается известно чем. Когда у человека есть вторая половинка, ему есть ради кого стараться в свое же благо, ради кого расти личностно, а не опускать руки, потому что ты наедине с собой и можно позволить себе все вредные привычки, ведь никто не осудит, как и не поддержит твои хорошие начинания. Это нескончаемый лабиринт по поиску смысла жизни. Если бы все люди придерживались такого мышления, то нас бы не было, ведь это "лучше", чем «какие попало дети» от «кого попало».
@@mistyvioletconservative.3889 Все люди живущие в цивилизации полагаются друг на друга ибо так устроено человеческое общество. Каждый человек эгоист, но только самый большой эгоист (и к тому же глупый) это будет отрицать. Невозможно полагаться только на свои силы и только дурак учится на своих ошибках, тогда как умный на чужих. Поэтому и люди сначала объединились в племена, а потом племена объединились в нации. Чем больше людей - тем больше решений возникающих проблем, тем быстрее люди развиваются и тем проще выжить. Нас спас коллективный разум. В противном случае человечество бы вымерло ибо нас истребили бы другие виды, которые не полагаются только на самих себя. По одиночке мы никто, а вместе сила. Это правило работает со всеми видами, но особенно с людьми, у которых нет других преимуществ кроме интеллектуального объединения и совместного развития.
I think it's great when someone makes such an effort for his food. unfortunately, I myself am not one of them. And it always looks appetizing.
Thanks!
Thank you ☺️
Thank you for sharing this content! Watching your videos helps me with stress and anxiety and helps me to feel and happy after work and paying bills.
Omg everything is so tiny, clean, and well organized in Japan I love it
I absolutely love the longer length of your videos. Thank for sharing your daily life with us. You make my day brighter! 💗
Watching from California, I am amazed by the prices. Although I'm fortunate that the selection is wide and the cost is low relative to the rest of my country due to growing so much food in our own state, it's still SO much higher than your prices that I'm starstruck! When I visited Japan we noticed low prices of food compared with home, but we thought it was mostly due to being a time of the exchange rate in our favor. And we could not cook while in hotels, of course, so we only saw prepared food prices and didn't notice ingredient cost. Thank you for showing this shopping! Your channel is really lovely!
I live in Texas, and I too was surprised by the low grocery prices in Japan but for a different reason - not because they are lower than here but by the fact that they are almost comparable to American food prices. When I was younger, I remember reading about exorbitant food prices in Japan, so either the Japanese government is doing something right to bring them down, or American food industry mafia have been jacking up our prices because they can, using COVID as an excuse. Everything seems to be much more expensive in California because of the taxes your government has imposed on all sectors of economy to pay for their state's pet projects.
Do not forget prices per kg!
@@NGeo-ci3qj I feel silly. You're absolutely right. Accounting for exchange rate and kg vs lb, these are pretty much exactly the same prices I pay (our sprouts are still a little more expensive, for some reason - probably just a less common ingredient here). Thanks for solving that one for me!
I love the pots with the grab-on handles. What a great space saver! Glad to see you ate some good protein. Your kitchen is tiny but, you use it efficiently. I raised two kids in a very small kitchen (by American standards)! In any case, everyone was well fed.
Very relaxing and informative videos! I have been eating healthy thus year, somewhat, and intend on taking it to the next level with absolutely no junk food. Watching you prep and prepare something other than chicken and brocoli as Americans do is fantastic. You have me interested in cooking again!!!!
So happy I fpund this channel. A very nice escape indeed.
Japan, one of my favorite place to be, clean places, disciplined people and lots of places to go to. i will surely be back soon, thanks for sharing my friend
Even the packaging in Japan is pretty. A very healthy shopping basket....don't know how you manage to resist a bar of chocolate when going round the supermarket 🤣
I was the same way and finally figured out I had vertigo!! I dice apple, onion and add to my tuna with mayonnaise only - so good! Sometimes I even add diced nuts - try it you might like!! No milk please!!
Thank you for your calming vid. I hope you feel better soon, and don't feel dizzy anymore. ❤️
Acceptance... such a powerful practice. Thank you for sharing your dinner prep ... and your tranquility. 🙏 🕯 🌸
Everytime I shop at supermarkets, I make sure I bring my shopping trolley . All the items bought are contained & handy on my way home.
Hello! I want to thank you for this video. This is the first video I’ve come across from your channel, and I’m loving it. I have some anxiety and sadness issues I’ve been experiencing lately, and watching this video was incredibly soothing to me. I’m definitely going to check out your other videos. Sending hugs from the suburbs northwest of the Metropolitan Washington, DC area.
So glad you sought medical advice, Lou. Dizziness can be a scary thing, but its good to know that many times the problem can be solved easily. Water. Stay hydrated!!! Take care
I enjoy your videos. For me, they are calming. I, too, lived far away from my parents when I was in my 20's. You are stronger than you know. The lessons you learn now will benefit you your whole life long. Enjoy every minute.
Japan is always my dream place! Thanks for sharing your daily life!
Ваші відео заспокоюють….Переносять в іншу реальність…❤
Nice to see, you cook food with love and care.
I really enjoyed watching your video, it was calming and interesting how the single carrots are wrapped separately.
I'm from UK.
С удовольствием посмотрела про вашу жизнь в Японии. Спасибо.
Не показала как выглядит японский городовой.😪🤧
я тоже, и порадовалась, что не живу там!
I found you last week by accident. I look for videos about Japan and Japanese recipes. I love how you fill your day with activities that promote a fulfilling life. I too live alone. I will be 63 this coming weekend. I am Puerto Rican and I make Puerto Rican food most nights. I love how you prepare your meals. I enjoy the trips to the supermarket. I have one question. How big is your apartment? As an American (Puerto Ricans are US citizens) we have huge kitchens with big appliances. I admire how you always get the job done efficiently. I hope to see more videos. Also, why did you go to Japan to work? Have a bless day. Keep the videos coming. I adore them.
I live in New York with my son we live alone when I watch your videos I feel relaxed I like the way you cook thank you for such great content😊
I like how you tell your days, your way of dealing with everyday problems and the truth that emerges from your videos ... thanks for being a source of inspiration❤️
I truly enjoyed watching this! I thought i was the only one who shopped and cooked like this, altho uve given me a few additional pointers to implement (not to mention new dinner ideas 😊), so thx! You seem like an admirable young woman who’s jus trying to make her way in this world by living an organized, healthy and well balanced life. Keep up the great work! ❤
That was a very great video,I love the cooking parts because I love to see what oils you use in your dishes..also thank you for sharing your life..I love how you write your thoughts every day,its such a great idea..
Я живу в России, для меня было удивительно увидеть морковь в индивидуальной пластиковой упаковке. И грустно что для вас говядина дорогая. У нашей семьи нет проблем, родственники фермеры и говядина, свинина, курица в достатке. Зато нет такого разнообразия грибов в магазине. Но мы живем рядом с лесом и в сезон можно бесплатно собрать в лесу)) Очень познавательно было посмотреть ваше видео! ❤❤❤
Видать и молоко у вас натуральное, а не эти в пакетах.
Ещё отличие - я хлеб сам делаю в хлебопечке Panasonic по своему рецепту с натуральным молоком, маслом, яйцами на живых дрожжах.
Мне так показалось, что ы моей квартире японской техники больше, чем у японцев (во всяком случае у этой дамы).
Сложилось впечатление, что в России поудобнее и сытнее жить.
@@АльфредАльфред-я8е молоко, масло сливочное, сливки - все домашнее, в магазине такого и правда не купишь) Сытнее тем кто на земле. У нас частный дом с большим участком. Там и сарай для кур, индюков, уток. Теплица с огурцами и помидорами, огород с зеленью и овощами. Садовые деревья. В общем, многое покупать не приходится. По поводу техники. Это зависит от семьи, мы без телевизора, микроволновки, мультиварки, миксера, кухонного комбайна, соковыжималки, робота-пылесоса отлично живем, а мои кум с кумой нет, у них все и даже больше)
а цены то у них какие бешенные😮
@@linka-in5so ну и зарплаты выше)
а говядина в россии дорогая! семья фермеров все ясно какая там семья:)
You're making a good life for yourself. ❤ The best is yet to come. You hang in there sweetie!
Adapt is another word I use to help me deal with what I can not control in my life. I wish you the best....amazing how quickly your channel has grown in just two weeks!!! 20,000 + I'm very happy for you. Be well, take good care of yourself and peace/healing/joy in your life. 💜💜💜
❤
If only I knew how...
@@iwantalbuquerque7770 Hi....so sorry, I get the feeling of pain and fear from just your few words. Life is not easy for so many today...I'll be 70 in a couple of weeks, I have no friends, birth family left, and a son with aspergers. I guess I was Forced Into Adapt other wise I would have lost my mind...my life became so un manageable because I felt the need to control everything because I was so scared/scars of emotional pain. Just like this channel's growth in 5 months since I posted last, ask your self where you want to be in 5 months from now and figure out a way to do something kind for yourself each day towards that goal. It's not easy to be kind to yourself, took me many years to stop bad mouthing myself....all of this has lead me to a more accepting way of living, a desire to be kind and positive to all I encounter, a few words, a smile. And finally with age, I've had to adapt because I've no control over 'aging body issues'....I wish you well, peace and healing prayers to find your way towards ???? that will bring you Joy In Your Life.💜💜💜
I lived in Japan with my husband and two teenage daughters for over a year.We loved it. I so love watching you cook and shop. Take care.
I love your videos! They always make me want to clean and simplify my house. ☺️. I think you are an amazing young lady living on your own in a foreign country. I love how the packaging of food is done in Japan. Have a wonderful day!
She inspires me as well to get some order in my house.
All that wasted plastic and cellophane 😱😱😱
I just came across your videos today and I just want to say you are an inspiration. You are a kind and sweet soul and it wants my heart to know you give back because you knew hardships growing up. Keep up the wonderful work and life! Bless you from Canada!
She's so gentle and considerate with everything she touches 🥰
The individually wrapped carrot is just too cute 😂
It's a way of charging you more for it.
I was shocked 👀
I don't think, that's cute, I think about the much more waste 🙈. Here you can also buy single carrots ( or other vegetable or fruit) without any wrapping.
Over usage of plastic
I love 💗 it! So so adorable! And they’re all same size!!!!! All It needs are 🥕 bows around it LOL 😂❤Unbelievable!😮
Thank you! I ❤ the food price comparisons! Things are so much more expensive in the US 🙃
I hope japanese supermarkets will start one day to use less plastic :( not every carrot needs to be extra wrapped
It is utterly ridiculous!!
I love the way everything is wrapped separately for cleanliness and safety. I know it's not good for the environment, but if the plastic can be repurposed that would help, imo!
I totally agree, everything is in plastic no wonder our world is dying
I love the way she lays the groceries in the cart. I always stand mine up. America!😄
I agree. Everything is plastic wrapped, every cookie per piece.. wow.
It's good to see that you eat the food that you cook. Not just noodles
O seu vídeo apareceu hoje nas sugestões. Gostei muito do ambiente calmo e de ver a organização do dia a dia no Japão. Os preços dos alimentos são idênticos em Portugal mas não temos porções tão pequenas já completamente embaladas (poupamos no plástico ;-)). Espero que as tonturas tenham passado. Tudo de bom e sucesso para o futuro.
Thank you again for another soothing video. When I watch your videos I feel calm, kind of like I tucked into a favorite book. I admire your dedication to your goals. ❤️
Bonjour Lou 🤗 merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo. Je suis contente car les vidéos de Lou deviennent de plus en plus populaires et c'est mérité 🎉💕
Merci beaucoup de prendre de votre temps et pour toute les anecdotes sur le système de vie au Japon. Ça fait des années que je suis fan du Japon mais je ne savais rien du système de l'assurance maladie.
Do as I did and turn your closed captioning on. ❤
This was so lovely to watch seeing you carefully prepare your lovely meals I wanted you to have a nice cat that will keep you company. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful life in Japan
Good job! What a great documentary.😊 Common activities but l watched it with a great pleasure. Greetings from Monika from Poland
Your videos are so relaxing to watch! Thank you for sharing your daily life with us! I hope your feeling better and not dizzy anymore 🥹
Great advice on using the word Acceptance and thank you for sharing your view of Japan. Wishing you good health and prosperity. Namaste🙏💜💜
Hi Lou. 🙋♀️
Here in Brazil it's Sunday morning and I just got back from church, so I'm watching your video right now. I really like to follow your routine there in Japan. God bless you. Greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷
Hey love! I'm from India. Recently came across this video, just wanted to check if your dizziness has gone away by now.
It was so peaceful to watch your video. You're an inspiration for many how you handle everything so gracefully. May God bless you with success and good health all your life❤❤
I am from India but love to watch other countries shopping vlog and daily life 🥰
Excellent job Lou, such well made videos. I'm sure you have had lab work done regarding your dizziness. Low iron was my culprit, now I take iron medication. Look forward to you sharing your life with us. Be well and all the best to you.
If you buy plastic zip lock bag for marination you put all inside and move from outside with your fingers. Saving on dishes and helps overnight marinade too plus flour dredging works good too 😁
Mi affascinano le usanze degli altri popoli😍🇮🇹
Yeah, I just bought brown rice on Amazon. I also got tuna steaks, Atlantic Salmon, brussel sprouts, sesame seeds, chili sauce, oranges, garlic and Albacore tuna. I like tuna in oil vs water.
I appreciate your great attitude.
I've always loved Japan. It's so cool to be able to see "a day in the life" . Thanks for sharing your time with us... Hello from Minnesota :)
Greetings from Canada .May I say , you have beautiful hands . Enjoy your videos very much .
Me encantan tus vídeos. Me transmiten mucha paz. También me gustan mucho tus recetas de cocina. Saludos desde España!
Отличное видео, спасибо большое за обзор. 🤗💕
Hi Lou, new subscriber here from Sri Lanka. Thanks for taking us on your shopping trip. I enjoyed it very much cause we don't have anything like that here. I really liked the fact you are not scared of showing your face. I cannot understand why so many doing blogs hiding behind the camera.
There's one called Nami and I have been watching her channel for sometimes but now bored very much. Every video is same and she eats for 4 people, how she do that is a mystery. I like yours better cause you seems to be very down to earth.
About your dizzy problem, check your sugar level immediately. I am born with low pressure problem and whenever it goes down I sweat and become dizzy.
Hello, just started watching and appreciate that you price the items in the store that you bought. I live in Hawaii and it is expensive in comparison.
I get dizzy from dehydration, if it is hot, and if I don't consume enough protein. Sometimes I put a packet of electrolytes in my water if I need extra energy.
An East Indian doctor online recommended a squeeze of lime or lemon juice in water to help staying hydrated. I hope you feel better soon.
Nice blog Lou. You're a strong person. Living alone in a foreign land is tasking and stressful but, you manage it well. Stay strong and beautiful ( though you never showed much of your beauty) in and out. Be safe always. By the way, what's playing on your background music? Love it!
Hello beautiful Lou.
Over 50K you deserve it.
Love you Leon❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy to see you again, we missed you a lot!! ❤❤ kisses from Spain 😊
Instead of putting the frozen shrimp into the microwave to defrost try putting it into the colander and running warm water over it to remove the ice and separate them.
Very. Interesting. I like seeing how other countries live. I’m in the middle of the USA. I appreciate your cooking healthy food and taking care of yourself.
I love that nail color and the healthy groceries you select! Your videos are a calm, soothing balm during days when that kind of thing is really needed. (Beef is too expensive over here in the USA for me, too.)
