My life was the worst that it’s ever been when I discovered this video in 2017, and today it’s the best that it’s ever been, and this is still top 5 bedtime asmr videos
Shortly after this video was published, my dad was admitted to the ICU for complications relating to cancer and chemo. I was pregnant with my first child and was planning to tell him on his birthday 2 weeks later. Unable to sleep, I lay in bed crying and it was during this time that I discovered ASMR. This is the first or second video I ever saw and I was hooked. My dad passed away the day before his birthday and I never got to tell him about the baby. It took me 3-4 years to fully recover from his death. Maria, you are a godsend to me and opened my eyes to a new world that 5.5 years later I still listen to almost daily as does my almost 5 year old daughter. I do not get tingles, but it helps calm my anxiety that existed long before my dad's health issues. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
I just kept thinking, what if we told this Maria about the life she has now 😭 about how she’ll meet Daryl and have sweet baby Mila, made me smile. I want to give this Maria a hug ❤️
9 years later, and this is still my nightly go-to video to calm my mind and help me fall asleep! I love how far ASMR has come, but I still always find myself coming back to the basics before all of the over-production and special effects started. Thank you, Maria!! 🥰
Same! I don’t like the over production. Feels too forced too me. Videos like this one just come off as pure and not trying which makes it better for me at least lol
Something about the sound quality of her whisper and motion of her hand movements while counting really gets me. It keeps me coming back to this video.
I scrapbook and make cards, so I have a ton (over 1000 sheets) of 12x12 and smaller paper, a swivel exacto knife and a self healing cutting mat. I have time, because I am bedridden. When I create, I feel good and like I have been productive. Thank you for introducing me to this! It looks like something I could do and have fun.
7 years after starting to watch Maria, I consistently come back to her old videos. Quite honestly, I don't even watch the new ones. I start them, and just find myself pining for the old ones. Unrehearsed, spontaneous, lesser quality mics etc. Its all so charming. It's like watching your favorite old shows that comfort you, before they became too Hollywood and over produced. Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud of her success and progress, it's just not for me.
Ida Adam i love how she speaks in these. Some of the newer ones there is a wetter mouth sound which I find unappealing. A few of my other favorite asmr people have taken to the excess mouth sounds and it’s not relaxing at all. All this to say, I agree with you on the less perfect videos. They are more relaxing.
I completely understand your love for paper, files, surfaces and keeping things organized. I literally almost dribble when I have new notebooks and feel the paper! Just a really charming video and a delight to watch, Thank you Maria.
"You wanna count the stairs? Let's count them." The gentle counting mixed with the sound of the paper rustling, is just... so yes. I would watch an 8 hour video of Maria counting paper steps.
I watched this when it was new and I was hooked. It’s my go-to when I can’t find any asmr that’s doing it for me. My all-time favorite asmr video. Please Maria do another video with your origami!!
Maria is a legend. Watched her since from beginning till now. Got introduced to her vids by itsjudytime and it was one of the few things that truly change my life. She did her homework before she does her ASMR vids. She doesn't simply just tap tap tap. Even after 5 years I can only sleep with her vids. I hope you will bring us more wondrous ASMR vids in the future maria. So proud with your progress
For me I think it is her voice that is a bit different. I prefer the tone of her voice in her old videos. She would gain even more followers if she could speak like she used to.
It's 2021 and I'm realizing that I've spent a decade watching your videos! What a great part of my self care routine, thank you for all that you do :~)
Hopefully you'll read this... I just want to say that you are bringing so much happiness to people; whether it's someone looking to relax a little, or someone who really just needs to be reminded that there are good people out there like yourself. I hope that this makes whatever you're going through that 'little' bit easier, and I really wish you the very best. Thanks Maria.x
I've got some really bad problems with sleeping and I often end up sleeping on the way to work on the bus and the way home - I use this video every time and after such a stressful day this is the best thing to unwind with. Thank you so much!
You are so lovely and you clearly have ASMR yourself because I just don't believe anyone could understand the proper way to speak, rub your hands over the book and flip the pages who didn't "get" ASMR. Thanks for being an inspiration for all of us and for caring enough to create these wonderful videos. XOXO
This is the 1st time I've seen this video. Maria had not yet developed her signature slower speech pattern, punctuated with smiling nods, and an "Um humm.." that we all find endearing. What a nice experience for me to see her then, and see her now. Masha, you created a new life for yourself here. You were young, but very brave. Much love and blessings to your new family. Hope your family in Russia is justifiably proud of you.
It's so cool to see the progression of Maria's videos from when she first started to now. At the time of this video I'm sure she really had no idea just how much she would impact the ASMR community or how successful she would become. I've been watching her from the very start and I love every single video. Your hard work and dedication have definitely paid off and you have many fans who,such as myself,who will be a loyal fan and subscriber for as long as you have a channel. Thank you so much for always making me relax and smile. ❤️💯❤️
I have been watching your videos since 2012. This video was the first. So many tingles!! Every time I come back and watch it, it feels like hanging out with an old friend. Thank you Maria!
At 13:39 & 13:50... The look in her eyes gets me every time. And then the slow, deliberate counting and the way her finger drags along the stairs. Wow. Unreal.
You know what's awesome about you is you do these relaxing videos AND half the time you offer truly practical advice or something fun to do, I've been watching your videos for nearly a year, I should "subscribe". You're really awesome.
I ve been a dedicated watcher nearly every night for the last few months, somehow I've missed this gem. Luckily it came up as a suggestion. This is great!
I have the most oddly specific triggers... I've had a touch of immunity for a while but the beginning when you're flipping through the colored paper gives me more tingles than I've ever had.
Still watching this in 2017... This is what gave Maria so many followers. Please make a video like this when you count the stairs. Holy tingles. I will pay you!
Maria, I was in a bad mood after work because a customer was mean to me, but then I watched this and my mood was lifted because you're so nice and calm, even though you've had to deal with way more mean people than I have! And now I feel so much better because there are some infinitely nice people in the world! Thank you!
Ohhh how I long for her to make simple asmr videos again like this and others back from this era. The simplicity, relatability, & her beautiful genuine soft voice & touch is what attracted me to her many years ago. Unfortunately now a days, I don’t seem to get that feeling w any of her newer videos. 😞
My FAVORITE asmr video of all time. Back when I would fall asleep with the laptop in my bed, pre iPhone. I always wondered if you were filming in a shower lol but I never cared!!! Those crinkles are everything!!!
I love creativity related ASMR, this seriously gives me full-body ASMR reactions. Thank you Maria for all of your hard work. Taking time out of your personal life to do something so selfless and kind-hearted, you are genuinely a beautiful person.
Wow, you have grown so much in confidence and poise since this video! (But this is still one of my favorite go-to's that is always reliable for tingles when I've been hit with asmr immunity ;)
Thanks for your healing, loving presence! You've been through a lot and it shines through you. And makes me get sleepy, which is always a bit of a miracle.
I think it's neat when people comment with what year they're watching. As time goes on it's like, having a conversation with the past. Here I am now in 2025 watching a video I've loved for years. Maybe in the future I'll look back at this again.
my 5 months old doughter has a cold and i'm worried sick about her, we don't sleep very well lately, and i really needed this... cause i didn't listen to you for like a year and i can see that i will have to resume my sessions :D thanx :*
this video turns me into putty i go weak as a kitten & feel so relaxed i can’t move especially when she counts the stairs ! omg it’s like her hands are actually touching me ! i also love the imperfections from the microphone it enhances her voice more i think 😌☺️🥱😴💤 still watching in 2024 💕
Just happened upon this video, you defiantly lack the courage ( you were ashamed of one of your works and didn't give us much of a chance to see it ) you have today, but it just shows how much self-confidence you have gained over the past 6 years. I enjoyed this video non the less and would like to see a modern/update of this type of video if you would care to do one. Going to watch the next video in this series now and I must say how I am ever impressed by all the cool things you are capable of doing. As always thank you for all the time and effort you put into make videos for us.
Maria! I just wanted to say that recently I've been having lack of the tingles, but your voice has honestly brought them back and they're quite strong. Thank you for the videos. : ) xx Natasha
The new videos just dont work for me. These are perfect and Maria was so gentle and unintentionally soothing. Shes still wonderful and I'm so glad to see how confident and happy she is! But these videos just relax me so much more than the perfect ones now x
I'm an "asmr" all my life - just didn't call it that. I know the "itchy" brain feeling and the asmr "trance" that I would go into as a young lad, often from just the "vibes" of certain people. I was never quite sure what it was about them. But you are certainly one of those people Maria. I hope you keep making the videos - I'm pretty sure you will :) This is perhaps my favorite of yours. Nobody counts like you do . . .
Ok, Maria... you make me melt. Here I am, thinking I'm 100% straight, but when I watch these videos, I have to question myself! lol There's some kind of kindness in your eyes, that makes me love watching you even more. Keep up the beautiful work! We love you for it! xoxo
I absolutely adore the beginning the way you turn the page and lightly caress the plastic covers. I love hands the way they move like that. Gives me loads of tingles. And I would just like to say you pop up art was very impressive!
13:04 Maria there is no need to be ashamed of your work! I'm sure most of the people who watch this video, including myself, cannot do any of pieces you showed. You're great!
Hi Maria - I love this video but it makes me feel sad when you referred to your 'creation inspiration folder' as 'tacky'. I am a visual artist & always have a journal where I draw & write my ideas - it is important to record your creative moments for the development of your creative expression & your own enjoyment. I saw the folder when you shared it in another video & there some beautiful drawings & other playful things which made me feel happy when I saw them. You are a beautiful person & I thank you for being so generous, caring & talented. ☺💖👍
Hi Jasmine - I can't remember - I saw it quite a few times though - she had drawings of eyes in that folder that were quite beautiful & other drawings as well...
It's currently 2023 and this specific ASMR video *still* has me in a complete chokehold. Maria is simply the best of the best ❤️
Same. I will forever go back here. I love all her videos… but for 9 years, this will always be one of my favorites
Agreed…and it also took me this long to realize that she is most likely set up in her bathtub to film this 😆. Love it
same
My life was the worst that it’s ever been when I discovered this video in 2017, and today it’s the best that it’s ever been, and this is still top 5 bedtime asmr videos
Agree, I love this video. Let’s count the stairs 😊
Shortly after this video was published, my dad was admitted to the ICU for complications relating to cancer and chemo. I was pregnant with my first child and was planning to tell him on his birthday 2 weeks later. Unable to sleep, I lay in bed crying and it was during this time that I discovered ASMR. This is the first or second video I ever saw and I was hooked. My dad passed away the day before his birthday and I never got to tell him about the baby. It took me 3-4 years to fully recover from his death. Maria, you are a godsend to me and opened my eyes to a new world that 5.5 years later I still listen to almost daily as does my almost 5 year old daughter. I do not get tingles, but it helps calm my anxiety that existed long before my dad's health issues. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
Sorry 😐 about that but at lest u found something that helps
I am sorry for your loss. How hard that must have been.
I have no doubt your dad knows now because he will be watching over you both closely every day! So glad you found ASMR to help you cope xx
I’m praying for you and your family!
Woof where’s Maria for this one?
I miss the ASMR sounds of 2012. The imperfect audio assists the tingles now lost in the "too perfect audio" of 2019.
Doug Heiar I thought I was the only one!
So true
You are not alone. I only watch the older videos.
Agree. I pretty much only watch her pre-2013 videos.
Yes! The Dominican Republic one is such a good throwback, one of my go to’s for sleep
I just kept thinking, what if we told this Maria about the life she has now 😭 about how she’ll meet Daryl and have sweet baby Mila, made me smile. I want to give this Maria a hug ❤️
13:12 to 16:45 is a candidate for one of the best ASMR moments ever. It feels like a school lesson where the teacher just calms everyone for a bit.
I come back to this video for this exact section.
It's 2020 and I back. Anyone else a particular fan of early Maria videos?
Yes, it is a definite go to video of mine
Yaaas! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
yes. lo-fi asmr is good, plus, she is so cute!!
I like this one and the one with the recliner material
Yes they definitely hit different! lol 😂
9 years later, and this is still my nightly go-to video to calm my mind and help me fall asleep! I love how far ASMR has come, but I still always find myself coming back to the basics before all of the over-production and special effects started. Thank you, Maria!! 🥰
Same! I don’t like the over production. Feels too forced too me.
Videos like this one just come off as pure and not trying which makes it better for me at least lol
The last 4 minutes of this video are absolute perfection. Your voice gets so soft and the paper sounds aren’t too loud- the tingles are crazy.
Something about the sound quality of her whisper and motion of her hand movements while counting really gets me. It keeps me coming back to this video.
The last 5 minutes of this video are, in my opinion, pinnacle asmr. Nothing could ever compete.
I scrapbook and make cards, so I have a ton (over 1000 sheets) of 12x12 and smaller paper, a swivel exacto knife and a self healing cutting mat. I have time, because I am bedridden. When I create, I feel good and like I have been productive. Thank you for introducing me to this! It looks like something I could do and have fun.

Honestly this is one of the best videos you have ever made
Grace Kingsbury ever, love the quality of square plastics
This is my favorite . Soft spoken and puts me to sleep Everytime!!
Not forced speech and simple verbiage is honest.
Oh my god! The fact that this showed up on my timeline after all these years! This is what got me into ASMR! Wow! Thank you Maria! 🤗💕
11 years later and this still gives me tingles. Thank you, Maria 💕 my tingles tend to come and go but this one always ALWAYS brings them back.
I completely understand your love for paper, files, surfaces and keeping things organized. I literally almost dribble when I have new notebooks and feel the paper! Just a really charming video and a delight to watch, Thank you Maria.
"You wanna count the stairs? Let's count them."
The gentle counting mixed with the sound of the paper rustling, is just... so yes. I would watch an 8 hour video of Maria counting paper steps.
Yessssss I loveeeee when she counts!! It makes my brain melt immediately
The counting in this video is my absolute favorite thing I have ever heard in ASMR.
I love how you ask 'Do you want to count the stairs?...let's count." sooooo relaxing and so cute
Love coming back to your older uploads. I still get crazy tingles!
bridgetbean79 Heyyyy, girl!! It’s Brynne! I love finding you here! Lmao.
Some of your old videos are still my favorites, Maria. The counting in this one - I can’t get enough.
I watched this when it was new and I was hooked. It’s my go-to when I can’t find any asmr that’s doing it for me. My all-time favorite asmr video. Please Maria do another video with your origami!!
I've seen this video so many times and I still can't believe those are made from just 1 piece of paper !
when you were counting those stairs i was literally melting!
Umm..no you weren't.
donky dick
I took a hundred hour nap
i was indeed.
You comment on a video and be a liquid at the same fucking time.
***** best comment ever on youtube
Maria is a legend. Watched her since from beginning till now. Got introduced to her vids by itsjudytime and it was one of the few things that truly change my life. She did her homework before she does her ASMR vids. She doesn't simply just tap tap tap.
Even after 5 years I can only sleep with her vids. I hope you will bring us more wondrous ASMR vids in the future maria. So proud with your progress
2023 and still coming back, because this video is a classic and still causes many tingles.
i don't know y but i like her bad quality vids more than her new ones
I wouldn't say bad. Just new. But I do too. Her makeup artist clip is my all time favorite and I like the triggers I get better.
BAPE POLICE!!! Yes I agree with you.
Same even in 2019
For me I think it is her voice that is a bit different. I prefer the tone of her voice in her old videos. She would gain even more followers if she could speak like she used to.
@@CyberZool agreed. I like the way Maria talks now but definitely prefer this tone
Maria, your hair is gorgeous!! Love the curls! and such a sweet video! I love watching your old work too. Gold!
2024 and coming back. I want more counting videos! I wonder, does Maria still do Origami?
I don't understand why there aren't more ASMR videos with counting things. It is my absolutely favourite trigger.
When an old Maria video you never saw pops up in recommendations.... CLICK! Origami is such a great hobby for ASMR videos
I love the older videos - the general background sounds really help towards the tingles! ❤️
It's 2021 and I'm realizing that I've spent a decade watching your videos! What a great part of my self care routine, thank you for all that you do :~)
Revisiting one of my favorite ASMR videos of all time. Hard to believe it's been 8 years. Still fantastic!
These simple explanation videos are the absolute best for me. Does not get much better for my tingles.
Even after all these years I come back to this video. One of my favorite originals.
Hopefully you'll read this...
I just want to say that you are bringing so much happiness to people; whether it's someone looking to relax a little, or someone who really just needs to be reminded that there are good people out there like yourself.
I hope that this makes whatever you're going through that 'little' bit easier, and I really wish you the very best.
Thanks Maria.x
I never would've thought I'd say this, but watching you count stairs was a fantastic experience
I've got some really bad problems with sleeping and I often end up sleeping on the way to work on the bus and the way home - I use this video every time and after such a stressful day this is the best thing to unwind with. Thank you so much!
You are so lovely and you clearly have ASMR yourself because I just don't believe anyone could understand the proper way to speak, rub your hands over the book and flip the pages who didn't "get" ASMR. Thanks for being an inspiration for all of us and for caring enough to create these wonderful videos. XOXO
Years later I still come here for guaranteed asmr. Maria’s counting will never disappoint
This is the 1st time I've seen this video. Maria had not yet developed her signature slower speech pattern, punctuated with smiling nods, and an "Um humm.." that we all find endearing. What a nice experience for me to see her then, and see her now. Masha, you created a new life for yourself here. You were young, but very brave. Much love and blessings to your new family. Hope your family in Russia is justifiably proud of you.
It's so cool to see the progression of Maria's videos from when she first started to now. At the time of this video I'm sure she really had no idea just how much she would impact the ASMR community or how successful she would become.

Your hard work and dedication have definitely paid off and you have many fans who,such as myself,who will be a loyal fan and subscriber for as long as you have a channel. Thank you so much for always making me relax and smile. ❤️💯❤️
I have been watching your videos since 2012. This video was the first. So many tingles!! Every time I come back and watch it, it feels like hanging out with an old friend. Thank you Maria!
2024 and still one of my favourite asmr videos ❤️ counting is so relaxing :)
Its another flight of stairs and guess what
me = what
were gonna count them
me = YEEEEAAAAAA
King Williams I love this comment
Jules Boleyn me too
At 13:39 & 13:50... The look in her eyes gets me every time. And then the slow, deliberate counting and the way her finger drags along the stairs. Wow. Unreal.
Matt De Lima ik!!! Her counting gets me every time ☺️☺️
You know what's awesome about you is you do these relaxing videos AND half the time you offer truly practical advice or something fun to do, I've been watching your videos for nearly a year, I should "subscribe". You're really awesome.
I ve been a dedicated watcher nearly every night for the last few months, somehow I've missed this gem. Luckily it came up as a suggestion. This is great!
I have the most oddly specific triggers... I've had a touch of immunity for a while but the beginning when you're flipping through the colored paper gives me more tingles than I've ever had.
Still watching this in 2017... This is what gave Maria so many followers. Please make a video like this when you count the stairs. Holy tingles. I will pay you!
Maria, I was in a bad mood after work because a customer was mean to me, but then I watched this and my mood was lifted because you're so nice and calm, even though you've had to deal with way more mean people than I have! And now I feel so much better because there are some infinitely nice people in the world! Thank you!
Whew. When you pulled out the 3d stairs and started to count them, the tingles were everywhere. @_@
Still enjoy watching your old videos just as much as your new ones. I wish I had the time for getting lost in some origami. It's so therapeutic!
A year later I’m telling you Maria this video is the best asmr made! The counting melts me
This video is still one of my favourites after all these years. I love this book so much and you are so unique Maria
Starting the new decade with the best throwback of all 😍
I love finding these old videos, they are so much more effective to help me relax for some reason xxx love you Maria
Ohhh how I long for her to make simple asmr videos again like this and others back from this era. The simplicity, relatability, & her beautiful genuine soft voice & touch is what attracted me to her many years ago. Unfortunately now a days, I don’t seem to get that feeling w any of her newer videos. 😞
You're The Beatles of ASMR lol no one even comes close :) been watching since 2013!!
Agreed,beatles= perfevtion.maria= perfectionnnnnnn
Love this comment! So true.
ThePsychedelicCinema ....100% agree.
😂 So true though
ThePsychedelicCinema on point.. I think many feel as you do 👍🏼😊
I remember when this video was new! Man time flies!! You’re still my fave!!
My FAVORITE asmr video of all time. Back when I would fall asleep with the laptop in my bed, pre iPhone. I always wondered if you were filming in a shower lol but I never cared!!! Those crinkles are everything!!!
You have the most genuine character. That’s what makes you a favored ASMRtist. So keep doing what you do and we will keep watching 👍🏼😊❤️
I love creativity related ASMR, this seriously gives me full-body ASMR reactions. Thank you Maria for all of your hard work. Taking time out of your personal life to do something so selfless and kind-hearted, you are genuinely a beautiful person.
Wow, you have grown so much in confidence and poise since this video! (But this is still one of my favorite go-to's that is always reliable for tingles when I've been hit with asmr immunity ;)
This video is one I come back to over and over. I love your older stuff and especially like the ones where you count!
*Still loving and watching often in 2023*
2023 and I’m back. Love the plastic squishy sounds, sticky fingers and soft counting.
Maria it's been a few years, do you still do origami? This video is so sweet ❤️❤️
Thanks for your healing, loving presence! You've been through a lot and it shines through you. And makes me get sleepy, which is always a bit of a miracle.
Ahh baby Maria!! Who's watching in 2019?😍
We didn't know what had come for us in 2020
I think it's neat when people comment with what year they're watching. As time goes on it's like, having a conversation with the past. Here I am now in 2025 watching a video I've loved for years. Maybe in the future I'll look back at this again.
You have such a wonderfully expressive face Maria. You are in touch with your inner child and it is so beautiful.
What a lovely and insightful comment.
my 5 months old doughter has a cold and i'm worried sick about her, we don't sleep very well lately, and i really needed this... cause i didn't listen to you for like a year and i can see that i will have to resume my sessions :D thanx :*
I love when you count things, please do more in your newer videos :-)
this video turns me into putty i go weak as a kitten & feel so relaxed i can’t move especially when she counts the stairs ! omg it’s like her hands are actually touching me ! i also love the imperfections from the microphone it enhances her voice more i think 😌☺️🥱😴💤 still watching in 2024 💕
Those file holders make the BEST sounds. I wish more people used them.
Maria is the embodiment of ASMR, period!!!
Still watching in 2018!! I can’t get enough of “The Book” ❤️
My love for all things Origami + My favourite whisperer = MINDBLOWN!
Lord, coming across a comment from eight years ago makes you realize how fast time flies.
"And also, the stairs...and guess what? We're gonna count them too. *smirk*"
XD
You are my absolute favorite. I love that you love to count!
Even though this is an old video, the paper stair counting still gets me every time.
Just happened upon this video, you defiantly lack the courage ( you were ashamed of one of your works and didn't give us much of a chance to see it ) you have today, but it just shows how much self-confidence you have gained over the past 6 years. I enjoyed this video non the less and would like to see a modern/update of this type of video if you would care to do one. Going to watch the next video in this series now and I must say how I am ever impressed by all the cool things you are capable of doing. As always thank you for all the time and effort you put into make videos for us.
I LOVE when she says "Clean Cuts"
CharlesMSchulz she says it a lot in her hair cutting video; the one where she flips through a magazine to pick your hairstyle. It’s sooo good
It's July 2, 2024, and this video came across my feed. Maria's voice makes my brain melt.
That's one of the most relaxing videos to date, especially counting the stairs. Thank you so much!
Maria! I just wanted to say that recently I've been having lack of the tingles, but your voice has honestly brought them back and they're quite strong. Thank you for the videos. : ) xx Natasha
The new videos just dont work for me. These are perfect and Maria was so gentle and unintentionally soothing. Shes still wonderful and I'm so glad to see how confident and happy she is! But these videos just relax me so much more than the perfect ones now x
Same here!! I try to watch her new ones but it doesn’t do the same thing for me as these old ones do!
Will always return to her older videos!
I agree. I much prefer the older videos
I'm so glad this Maria ASMR video finally got over 1 million views It was back when I first found her amazing talent
I'm an "asmr" all my life - just didn't call it that. I know the "itchy" brain feeling and the asmr "trance" that I would go into as a young lad, often from just the "vibes" of certain people. I was never quite sure what it was about them. But you are certainly one of those people Maria. I hope you keep making the videos - I'm pretty sure you will :) This is perhaps my favorite of yours. Nobody counts like you do . . .
Robert Terrell that’s what I get! Not tingles as such! My head itches lol it’s weird
I hope she never stops saying squishy the way she says it, it's so nice and cute and totally unique
Maria, it would be cool if you filmed a video of yourself making an origami piece!
Ok, Maria... you make me melt. Here I am, thinking I'm 100% straight, but when I watch these videos, I have to question myself! lol There's some kind of kindness in your eyes, that makes me love watching you even more. Keep up the beautiful work! We love you for it! xoxo
13:20 to 14:34 is one of best asmr moments created
Still one of my faves after 11 years ❤
Maria, I BEG OF YOU, pleeeeease make a video of you counting things, like this video! sooooo many tingles! thank you so, very much !
I absolutely adore the beginning the way you turn the page and lightly caress the plastic covers. I love hands the way they move like that. Gives me loads of tingles. And I would just like to say you pop up art was very impressive!
11:40 onward is absolute bliss I love it when you count
13:04 Maria there is no need to be ashamed of your work! I'm sure most of the people who watch this video, including myself, cannot do any of pieces you showed. You're great!
Hi Maria - I love this video but it makes me feel sad when you referred to your 'creation inspiration folder' as 'tacky'. I am a visual artist & always have a journal where I draw & write my ideas - it is important to record your creative moments for the development of your creative expression & your own enjoyment. I saw the folder when you shared it in another video & there some beautiful drawings & other playful things which made me feel happy when I saw them. You are a beautiful person & I thank you for being so generous, caring & talented. ☺💖👍
Kalyi Amoto do you remember which video she showed the folder in?
Hi Jasmine - I can't remember - I saw it quite a few times though - she had drawings of eyes in that folder that were quite beautiful & other drawings as well...
Oh okay, hopefully i stumble across it! I just love when Maria shows her folders/books. Its interesting + incredibly relaxing!!
Jasmin Yes she is great at ASMR - & when she shows her work it is very relaxing ☺
