- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- hi guys, i feel like i say this a lot, but this week has been a lot of me feeling great and me feeling not so great. I really just need to work on setting my expectations better so that I don't let myself down so often but REGARDLESS it was a hot but beautiful week in Seoul and I am happy to share a piece of it with you :) I've also been running into more and more of you guys on the street here in Korea and it literally makes my entire day and the day after and the day after when you say hey so THANK YOU! Pls know I am definitely more of an awkward human than you are so never feel weird about coming up to me LOL. By the time this is posted I'll be on my way to Japan so there won't be a vlog on Wednesday but I am excited to be back with another video next week! See you then and thank you for everything always.

Some people said they didn't get the noti or see this video at all on their home screen so if you missed my last video and are interested in Korean film and history, please check it out! ruclips.net/video/oF1qr5tECs0/видео.html
cari cakes I didn’t get a notification for it but now that I know it’s a thing I’m so excited to check it out!✨
I always got your notification just fine, maybe other people set the notification setting wrong,
cari cakes that was a great video too! Hopefully those who missed it can go watch. I found it quite interesting!!
I think most of us can agree: even if people come to your channel to see Seoul or another city, they stay for the cool storytelling and your personality 😊💕
thank you always ㅠㅠ
YES
Cari's personality is one of the ,most genuine on youtube, it's always like hanging out with a best friend 💖✨
I think that we can all agree on saying that that is just a fact
Cari! We're not just here for "pretty things happening in Seoul" (it's honestly just an added bonus), we're here for you! xx
🥺🥺🥺 thank you!
10000000%
Same! xoxo
🙌🏼🥰
Thank you!! I was trying to figure out how to put it, you said it perfectly! 😊
Okay, I don't know why I feel the need to write you this mini essay, but here we go.
We watch your content because we enjoy not only Seoul but you and your life! There are tons of travel vlogs out there where I could see very cinematic shots of fancy shops and Korean life. What you bring to this channel is your own story and individuality. I love seeing your videos and feeling like a friend is hanging out, updating me on her life which just also happens to be somewhere gorgeous.
Secondly, don't feel apologetic for your content. Notice I didn't say "stop apologizing". I said don't feel sorry! I think we all feel lucky for the content you deliver. If you aren't living up to your own expectations, that's one thing - but know that your audience loves what you put out. That's why we're here week after week. The only pressure to deliver is the pressure you're putting on you, so be kind to yourself. 💖
And thirdly, I want to say that your channel is so inspiring to me that it's made me want to start my own. I've definitely felt before like my life is too boring for a vlog, but the enjoyment I get out of just watching you go get coffee at a cafe completely changed my mind. You helped me realize that if content is genuine and the creator is enjoying the creation, then what's there to be afraid of? What more do I need? When I do start my channel, it'll be under a completely different username (I want to be sure it's pretty anonymous in terms of my real name), but know that it's because of the content you make that it's even happening for me at all.
I hope that helps you to feel better. Crossing my fingers for you that next week is a much better week. 🙌🏻
oh my goodness thank you so much for this truly!! good luck with your creative journey too!!!
cari cakes I couldn’t describe it better. Nonetheless, you have made me gain my confidence back. I have watched how you enjoy the little things and how much happiness you get from them. You shared your own story and it made me realize that there is nothing wrong with my life. And there is no reason I should be like these fancy people that we see online nonstop! I started loving my life when I saw there is someone who enjoys the same things as I do and doesn’t feel guilty about it. Please keep it up and never change for others. 💕
I am crying over this comment. 😭
THIS! I relate so much to your last paragraph! I'm a content creator for my city. I work for the city I live in and my job is to attend city events and make videos about said events. I LOVE LOVE to watch your videos to get inspiration and she just put it into words for me! You REALLY have helped me realize that if my content is genuine my video quality is increased! I also love your attention to details too! Like the shadows the leaves make or the cute things you notice around town. It's very honest and I'm in love! Thank you! (also are you a capricorn cause i totally hear you being a capricorn towards the end lol) Dont be too hard on yourself you're awesome!
This is very true 🤗💕 love your videos cari don't think otherwise. Also Erika yes give it a try. I'll be the first person to watch, give it a go!!
The "Say No to Kids, Drugs" T-shirt made me laugh harder than it should have, lol
I didnt even realize the words were switched until i took the vid 😂😂😂
Yeah I really want that tee haha
I saw that one when I was in Hongdae and I had to find real inner strength to not buy it xD
@@whostolethechocolate Now this makes me want to start a campaign for all #caricakestribe to buy this shirt, wear it at their favorite spot and tag @caricakes
May Cat same! I was there a few weeks ago, stayed in Hongdae and saw it everyday. I have regrets!
"you don't have time to be messing with cults"
i don't know why this made me laugh so much 😂💕
i only speak the truth hahahha
This might be weird but your voice is so relaxing 😂😊 your videos are so great when I’m doing homework or studying 💕
Hahaha im glad 😂
you're not alone, this is a universal thing going on! we all have been grumpy for the past 2 weeks due to certain energies clearing up. i personally have been mad about every single damn thing lmao. luckily i can watch your videos and get instantly relaxed. your videos are incredably grounding that i can forget abt the crazy waves happening in my life now. knowing that you've been experiencing the same thing, i hope you have your own person/activity that calms you down the way your videos therapeutically heals us your viewers.
just want you to know that you're doing well even if that's hard to accept internally. we love you sm cari! thanks for putting up contents that feed our soul! 💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻
thank you so much! im truly feeling so much better and just getting all that out there really helped :) hope your wave passes too!
Your vlogs puts me in a relaxing state. ❤️
🥰🥰🥰
Watching your vlogs on Sunday mornings is such a treat 🥰
^_^~ thank you!
The music during the cleaning was PERFECT.
Also, been a rough couple weeks for me too (like you, it doesn't feel like there's a good enough reason, but whateves I guess!), Good things coming! We've got this!
bahaha it was actually halloween music! and we DO got this!!!
Cari💕 we obviously have no idea what bigger and better visions you have for your channel but every single video you put out we always look forward to and finish watching it in the loveliest mood. You offer such different vibes and color schemes (색감) please don’t worry about your vids having the same content because even if you take us to a cafe again it’s such a new and prettier experience for those of us who are not there. The way you show your perspective and storytelling is always so phenomenal as well! You’re the center of it all, not just pretty and exciting things in Seoul🌿☺️
Life before big planned events seems stagnant in comparison to those great plans you have ahead, ONLY in comparison. Nothing more, nothing less than usual but relatively to what you have coming up it will definitely make you feel like it’s stagnant (we’re being fooled😭😭 constantly there myself) hope you overcome it all eventually🥳💜 and please by all means do put your personal life ahead of everything~
Look forward to everything coming up, it’s good to know that you’re not the type of person to fake things for the camera so please enjoy it all very naturally and make us part of your journey when you feel like it!
Omg this is seriously the kindest comment thank you so much!
Agree. Agree. Agree verbatim =)
from someone who also had a horrible week, nothing is always just one thing forever, it's a constant wave of ever changing.
"life in seoul" includes everything; the adventures, the travels, the cafes, the movies, and the basic stuff like cleaning your house, doing laundry, and washing the dishes because those are life things no matter how entertaining or boring they seem. i appreciate your traveling vlogs but i also appreciate your more toned down videos of just going to a cafe, walking around a bit, and going home because i can relate to those more. life and content don't always need to be exciting, enjoy the rainy days 💕✨
Thank you for your little chats. The fact that you open up when life is less than perfect. With social media and youtube it's nice to take a break and be like "We're all people with bad days and good days and good moments in bad days and bad moments in good days" and whenever you open up a discussion about more negative feelings, it feels like theres now a whole community of people all going "oh thank god yea". it feels friendly and chill.
You show us so much more than cafes and you've created a family on here of nice people just going through life and making happy moments.
i feel a lot more motivated to clean/cook/read/go outside/take care of myself after i watch your vlogs so this one was PERFECT. also loved the cleaning bit, the soundtrack was fabulous.
i think i can relate to the feeling overwhelmed and burnt out at the same time. i'm getting ready to graduate and go to california (san diego!!!!!), so i have periods of, like, mania and restlessness. being excited is exhausting! but time doesn't move backward and we love you and your content and support you no matter how you're feeling
gah im glad!! my vlogs inspire me to clean more too cause i see how i have to angle my camera to hide the crap in my house hahahah
@@caricakes i find myself doing that for selfies, heheheh. PS i added a wee bit to my comment RE the end of the vid!
@@tinkier omgggg ive SD my love! and that back and forth is TOTALLY the feeling! ugh!!
Girl, I get how you feel and I love when you speak to us and you feel the need to get something out of your chest. Life in Seoul - Korea through your eyes it's also life through you, you're doing great even when you feel like you ain't.
thank you so much :')
Loved your comment “I’m glad my hair is a beacon to the world to find me” .... my thought, ....probably not when you’re in Scotland, Can’t wait for that vlog! ❤️
hehehe i cant wait to blend into the crowd!!
I totally get you cari. I told you about my CIEE fail as a teacher and my life feels so awful now. It feels like NOTHING will change and I will be stuck in Germany....but girl...keep your head up. You have a wonderful husband, live in one of the most developed countries, you are gorgeous, are able to travel, inspire thousands of people and you have a job. There's no better thing. I hope you don't feel too bad. There is a plan for all of us ♡♡♡
I‘m pretty sure most of us (including me) are here because of YOU!! No matter what you are exploring or what your vlog is called, I‘m here because I love these (little) talks and it actually feels like you said....someone is out there getting me :) And I‘m so thankful for that❤️
i found your channel through searching for seoul vlogs but i've honestly loved all of your videos so far, i even binge watched some older ones because your content is so beautiful and relaxing no matter where in the world you are
wahhh that makes me so happy!!
I’ve always loved your videos 💕 I love the glimpses of Seoul you give us and you go to the neatest little cafes! That little hand kiss at the end with the ew was so funny lol
bahaha i had no idea what i was doing the hand kiss came out of nowhere! and thank you!!
cari cakes hahahaha it was super cute and hilarious!
You just give off a sunshine vibe and I absolutely love it. You just seem like a genuinely kind person and I guess genuine person, like what you see is what you get which I don’t always feel with youtubers. Basically you seem super cool and I wanna be friends with someone like you
Stop overthinking it. I find your vlogs SO beautifully and well made! Your content isn't just "fine" your content is great! You're doing great! Don't be too hard on yourself. I watch you because I love Seoul I lived there for 3 years and I find that your vlogs perfectly show the atmosphere of this city. Also, I just like your personality. So keep doing what you do. Good luck with your upcoming trips, looking forward to all the vlogs from Tokyo and Schotland and maybe a few from Seoul before that :)
thank you so so much!!!!
That was EXACTLY how I felt about my week, last week. When you said something about feeling melancholy or discontent in that time leading up to some bigger life events... that's exactly where I am at. It's comforting knowing you aren't alone in that.
I love how you appreciate little details in your surroundings, like the pattern what the cup made under the sun, the way the clouds move and watching the golden hour on a crowded bus. It really warms my heart for some reason:)
:') thank you!
Stay motivated Cari! I really like your vlog and you inspire a lot of people. You inspire me in a sense that there so much to see in the world. Flip the next chapters of life and make the most out of it. I appreciate the honesty and "stuff like that". Ive been asking my co workers to subscribe on your channel. Love lots! 💜
gah!!! thank you so much!
Didn’t watch until now, but you literally ALWAYS say things I need to hear and I’m glad that someone else gets the “I’m in a mood, and I’m going to feel that way so let it naturally subside” and also I agree about feeling like you’re in a funk when you know there’s great opportunities coming up! It’s that weird blank space that’s not filled that makes you just feel that sense of nothingness and unaccomplishment if that makes sense... but I feel you and I’m glad you share it and I’m glad I always seem to watch your videos when I need them most 💕
Girl, don't worry about us, like, we're here because we genuinely enjoy you showing us 'your Seoul, your Korea' =) Thank you for what you do
thank you so much!
I don't like how people will throw the word aesthetic around these days like it's nothing--but your vlogs are the epitome of the aesthetic I love. I could watch an hour of you filming the sky and I'd be so happy with it I think. Thank you!
You are such a sweetie omg,,, your vids r so relaxing and you are so genuine and kind!
wahh thank you so much!
i love your personal chats! i may have found this channel because of your vlogs about seoul, but i 10000% stayed because of you! 🌼💓
I just randomly came across your channel and at first, I wasn't really planning to stay, but here I am, after watching almost every from your videos. Your aesthetic just grabbed my heart, and now this. I totally feel you. I'm on the 2nd year of Uni, trying to stay productive, have good grades, get a part-time job to be able to later apply for exchange, meet with friends and I'm just getting tired of my life and my plans. At the same time, I can't stop dreaming and thinking about the "bright" future that I planned for myself. I'm watching your vlogs from Seoul and missing being here, even tho I never been to Asia. This comment getting pretty long and chaotic, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate every little thing you sharing on your channel. It makes me keep dreaming, even if I'm in the 'down' time of my journey on this planet. I hope more happy days will come if I will work hard.
Hope you have a nice day and good coffee to enjoy it even more
¬Jul
I love your vlogs! People who watch your content are obviously finding it enjoyable and valuable, that's why they're coming back :) So, no need to stress over it 🤗
Hi Cari! I randomly came across your channel about two weeks ago and you quickly became one of my favorite content creators, if not my fave! Your videos are always so calming yet make me want to get up and go explore, and I kept finding myself being like "ahh!! she likes that too?! woah I feel like that too!!" and all of that good stuff haha A funny coincidence I realized after binging your old content (was definitely having a wompity womp week - thank you for saving my sanity as I was stuck home sick) is that we have the same three signs (our sun and ascending our swapped) and we're both INFJs! I thought it was so funny and even though I don't buy into those things too much, I still thought it was pretty interesting and wanted to share :) I hope next week is better for you and thanks for always being so authentic xo
thank you and omg my soul mate!! hope your next week is better than this one too!!
I totally get you! 100% have those down moments where I feel that I can do so much better and live better. I think sometimes we just need to remind ourselves how fortunate we are and appreciate the journey. Love your videos! :)
exactly!! putting things into perspective is so important!
no, your vlog is the most i've wait every weeks ! that make me always thinking in my mind, oh my god i should visit seoul very soon :") this is too beautiful.
thank you so much!!
I love that when you advertise your “life in Seoul”, that’s exactly what you deliver! So many of us have this romanticized vision of other cities we don’t live in, when the reality is, emotions are going to fluctuate no matter where you live, and you capture this so perfectly. Thank you for being REAL.
I’ve been following you for a while and i always rewatch your videos because i could listen to you talking and storytelling the whole day.. You’re video editing is just so ETHEREAL and it is so nice to watch and appreciate all the details you put into it. Keep up with your content i enjoy it so much 💕
thank you so much omggggg
How about trying to take a relaxing bath with candles, or use a bath bomb. I think the scent of lavender helps you relax. 🤷🏻♀️ this week is just a blah week. I forever love your videos by the way 💕💕💕
thank you! and oh trust me, bubble baths were had! hahahha
I feel like I have been getting those strange ups and downs but I don’t really have anything upcoming to excite me just the long burn of uni. It’s completely valid to feel this way. Your AC is not loud and you’re doing a brilliant job with these videos! We couldn’t be any prouder right now! You are making great content that is really enjoyable, no matter what you do and your personality always brightens up my day. I remember seeing that “say no to kids, drugs” tee when I was back there and I pointed it out to my sister and we laughed so hard together in the freezing Hongdae at the time.
i think its just a natural sensation that i really wish didnt happen hahaha and thank you so much really UGH
I just found your channel and I have already watched 4 videos it’s so inspiring to watch you live in Korea I love every little thing and min you show! You have a lot of personality and don’t feel bad for feeling the way you do everyone feels that way every now and then but I personally love your content so thank you!
All your videos are great content, no matter where you are or what your up to. Nobody is feeling great every second of every day. It's good that you are actually honest about it and not editing an unrealistic world for us to see. It makes everyone feel good about their own realities and not have unrealistic expectations of themselves. I find it so motivating seeing you explore and have lovely outings and it makes me push myself to get out and about too. Love you XXXXX
thank you so so much! and yesssss get out there!!
you’re too hard on yourself🥺 you’re videos are always so beautiful and inspiring!! we’re always here for you cari
gahhhhh no, thank YOU!
The best end to my Saturday’s or start to my Sunday’s 🙌🏼 Tea or coffee and a face mask with Cari... perf.
Yes, seeing Seoul is amazing (especially for some of us who will probably never get to visit..) but we are here for YOU!! I’ve not been a subscriber for long but feel like I’ve been watching you for sooo much longer, I look forward to your uploads so much and just love the journey you’re sharing with us 🙏🏼
We are all here because we love, you! And we are your friends. Your content is always absolutely awesome and we are thankful for YOU. We got you, Cari ☺️
Also... that tee 😂
thank you always!!!!
No apology needed! Love watching your vlogs and honestly felt a sigh of relief when you started your mini therapy session at the end because I was feeling the same way recently! So good to know I'm not alone! Totally got the fever break analogy too... that makes so much sense and you're right! Hope things are going a little more according to plan for you now but we can both try and appreciate those little bumps and dips along the way too! Have a great week!!
its great to see how you can completely enjoy a day just by yourself. A lot of people couldn't even imagine doing that. You are setting a great example :)
hi cari, I don’t know why you have that thought but.. watching your channel every morning give me a lot of positivity and happiness.. I start my day watching your videos before going to work, I feel like I’m having conversation with someone I really close. I learn english from your videos too, every song in the video make me love it too.. thank you
your vlogs have brought me so much joy and inspiration to do what matters lately. also i really like the way you portray seoul in your videos, there is something truly optimistic in the way you depict the city. thank you so much :)
thank you so much!!
Cari, you’re so freakin relatable!! We’re all riding life’s dips. You just happen to share yours with the world, and in so doing are also impacting our lives in such a profound way. Stay brave!
thank you so much!
How could you not buy the "Say no to kids, drugs" shirt? xD
bahahahha
Honestly, it has been a couple of rough MONTHS for me ever since I moved to a different country. But watching your vlogs for the last two weeks has helped me so incredibly much, my outlook on life and the way I was thinking have already changed and I am so grateful.
So keep these little "honest moments" coming Cari, they are really helpful and inspiring!
omg that makes me so happy, thank YOU!
Hi Cari, I enjoy watching your vlogs. I don’t think you should be too stressed out about the pressures on putting out great content. Your vlogs are very personal, they are about you - your life, your thoughts, trips to cafes, shopping, etc. That is what I expect to see when I watch your videos, which have been excellent so far. They have been interesting and captivating due to your attractive looks and personality. So please continue what you are doing and I look forward to seeing more “great” content from you.
thank you for watching!
i definitely feel what you were trying to say. i am starting my internship abroad next week which i’m so! excited about yet the last week and a half i’ve been feeling down and like i’m just waiting for this limbo some to pass. it’s weird idk. definitely thought i was alone in this tho so thanks for sharing
ok i might be late but still: as far as i understand you feel like a normal day with you visiting a cafe is boring. I personally really enjoy it, it's just another day and all these cafés look so comfy and the music fits and all these random shots of the sky and the trees and all the items in a store are so nice to watch. idk I couldn't really mention many other vloggers that upload videos like this that feel so genuine(as you said, when you smile you are indeed happy). also you look beautiful and your voice is really nice. not to be weird but there are certain people in this world that have a good/comfortable voice to listen to and you're one of them. upload what you're fine with but please remember that even your "boring" videos are still interesting to watch
Cari, I love your videos so much 😍 They make me feel cozy, calm and peaceful 💮 I hope you'll find more inspiration during your vacation 💕
thank you so much!
seoul looks so pretty in you video with your amazing filming and editing skills. it looks unreal even to seoulers like me.
wahh thank you so much!
Cari you don’t sound whiny. And I like it when your blogs are super long. I actually prefer you rambling in front of the camera than actually going out and doing things. I just enjoy your personality and being real with us like you have been it’s so refreshing. I don’t know maybe I’m the only one who feels that way. But I definitely agree with whoever said they enjoy watching you do mundane things. I loved watching you clean your shower wtf lmao
cari! i just wanted to say that sometimes i feel incredibly down and i lose a lot of my motivation to do things, but your videos really help me feel better! idk the music and the visuals just help i guess LOL you also really help to motivate me to continue moving forward with my plans in life regarding studies and moving and the like! i'm still in high school so i've got plenty of time but i just wanted to say that you really brighten my day! have a good one :)
This was literally one of the prettiest vlogs ever.
The colors, the songs, “you” specifically.
Just beautiful 💛
gah! thank you!
Dear Cari, I love your content, not only because it‘s about Seoul, but because of your way of showing it to us. It always seems so artistic, not like other regular vlogs. Your personality that has an eye for the little wonders & curiosities surrounding you makes the difference! 😊
Thank you so much 🙈
My dear Cari, I am not here to watch some super filtered only fun version of life in Korea. One of the main things I love about your channel is how real and authentic it is. We all have ups and downs even when things are opening up new opportunities. Thanks for being transparent and honest with us. Your authentic self is your lovable and courageous self and I am totally always here for you!! 💕💕💕
thank YOU so much!
oh my god your color grading and shots tho *chef’s kiss*
You are very genuine and creative in presenting your perspective to the world. It comes across as fun, interesting but laid back. Your personal touch is appreciated!
The juxtaposition of the mundane and the exciting is always heightened when you are looking forward to something. I totally experience that. 💜🖤
thank you 💜💜💜
In all honesty I initially watched you because I was interested in your Seoul videos. But not anymore. I love all your videos, you've put effort and time into capturing moments and accompanying it with the most perfect music that it's hard to not watch your videos till the end. You just making videos constantly alone is an amazing feat. Show us your world, your views, and your take on Seoul or anywhere in the world. It's amazing to watch it. Dips and dark times will come but they will definitely go if you make them go away (trust me I've learnt it the hard way), and just forget the negativity. You live your bright, happy, and beautiful life Cari!! 💪💪
thank you so much :'''')
I'm one of those 'i got u girl' dear cari! and actually, (i can feel you rolling your eyes to this but again) i think most of us prefer and are happy about the fact that your videos shows the reality of the much awed life in seoul korea aaannddd im telling you this, the realistic aesthetics of your vids are better than those 'too filtered' ones that are usually shown. So, as for this yt being your therapy sesh, girl com'on it is for us as it is for you so don't feel awful hehehehe loveya!
So happy to have found your channel - your videos have a nice personal touch and I love how you capture all the little things throughout your day. I’m Korean but haven’t really lived here long so thanks to your content I’ve discovered a lot of new cool places in Seoul to explore :) But just as other people have mentioned I think it’s your personality that makes your videos really approachable and fun to watch - looking forward to more videos and hope you have fun on your trips ahead!
thank you so much!!! i love that everyone has a different "seoul" :)
Your fans love your videos and even if you feel they’re too simple or mundane honestly they are lovely and we love them. Even if your videos aren’t what you consider super interesting your viewers do. I think your awesome you go to cafes and travel by yourself. I also think your sit down chats are part of your appeal. I think your videos are calming and although it’s cool that your in Korea I enjoy your presence/personality more than the location.
hey Cari, I loved this vlog! I just wanna say I feel you. As a growing artist/illustrator posting on social media I can relate on the point of "am I making effort to grow or try or even change things?". I always try to think like that cheesy saying that says "some flowers don't bloom all year long". But at the same time, I try to put things out there for consistency, then taking a week off or experimenting. So I think I'm giving nice new leafs and shading them, and that can be pretty too (:
But I really came to tell you that I can see a difference since you started part-timing. Lots new videos, that made me really happy to see you not worrying so much bc of managing time and working (even with the hectic part you said~ I see that you're real and life happens, so it's not a plastic vlog/video every time), and also because no matter what you did - from being in pretty places to cleaning your bathroom - I think what makes all nice is your point of view, not what's cute. Sometimes what's cute is you talking about a nice coffee shop owner even if it's rainy, humid or polluted. Or trying to explain what a pattern of a shirt reminds you of. Or talking for a long time about how a sad book made you feel that month. For sure some things are more "entertaining" but I always enjoy the sincerity the most. And I think most people here agree (:
wahhhh im so glad you understand!! and thank you so much truly!!!
Thanks for this video! And know that 1)don't worry we can't hear your a.c.; and 2) it's great to hear someone honestly recount the irritations of life and have the perspective to understand that for most of us the worst day is still something to be thankful for. But it still helps to vent and laugh!!!
Cari, I totally get you! Like you, I have weeks, maybe days of the “roller coaster” life. I’m so glad you put your marriage first before us (you tube subscribers)! Your videos inspire me to see and appreciate the beauty, uniqueness and weirdness of my city. So Mahalo nui. Have a blessed week.
What funny timing I've felt so low just the past two days and it doesn't feel like it's about much. I'm a teacher and it's the summer holidays which feel so so long. There are also some changes that are happening in life as well. I was meant to meet a friend for drinks Friday night in central London and it was raining and the tourists were everywhere driving me nuts and the first place we went to didn't work and then I ended up going to to this overpriced not that nice Chinese restaurant with my boyfriend and everything just seemed crappy. It's funny how we can just let things pile up especially if we're not in a great mood to begin with. Something we need to wipe the slate clean I think, trying to do that this weekend by doing a proper tidy of my room. Good luck to you too xx
agreed about wiping that slate! i feel like a lot of my antsy-ness comes from not having anything to work on at that moment so i get bored and worried about doing something productive ㅠㅠ i really need to work on that haha
I like your content and I like to watch your vlogs because of you, no matter if you're just sitting at home talking about books or how you see and feel about things going on, or walking around in Seoul, San Diego, Copenhagen or Amsterdam. I just enjoy your various vlogs.
Honestly everytime I come to Seoul I just appreciate the people I love around me more than usual
And when I see you talking about kurt and friends, makes me think about it
I get u when u said you've been hving an up down week. im getting my results on Thursday and I am literally dreading it. sometimes im happy and then sometimes im sad, nervous, angry. I totally get u cari. LOTS OF LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM THE UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having a "bumpy" week is totally relatable and perfectly normal! There are just days where you go "Allright world what's next?" 😂 I love your vlogs so much btw; thank you for taking the time to introduce these great places ♡
Hahah i agree! And thanks so much!
I started your videos because of Seoul, but I stayed because of you . Your videos always feel so calm and peaceful and beautiful and I really really love that . Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us ❤
thank you so much for being along for the ride!
I really enjoy the little glimpses of Korea we get from your vlogs and the history you pack behind a lot of your day trip/ trip vlogs, but what really hooked me to your videos and your content is your personality. I can't wait to see what big things you have planned for this channel, and in the meantime, these vlogs are great, too! p.s. wow I was also having a crap week - it felt like mercury was still in retrograde and that was not fun lol
i personally would love another video as the one where you narrated / read out your own written poem / prosa!! so whenever you feel like your videos are kinda similar ( which is nice we stay for your editing and story telling and music taste and you and not reaaally for the most extravagant things to do in korea ) you can always put one of those in!!! 💜💜💜
I love how real you are. Yes I love your pretty vlogs, but I also like you just being yourself and if that's not so great then that's ok. I think that is why I watch your the most because your a no bullshit kind of person and your honest.
We all go through times in life were things are just odd. It’s annoying but this shall pass!
Even if you have more time, as you said Cari, to make good videos, you are also a human who needs “me time” or spend time with friends. Don’t be so hard on yourself!😌 You are doing just fine, and it is showing everyday and in your content!
Always take your time and do you✨
Lots of love and support girl!🥰
ugh this comment felt like a hug hahaha thank you so much!
Ive had those days but im glad you are able to talk about them on here because talking about them always makes you feel better. I always keeps things to myself so I need to work on that haha loveeeee your content!
yes!! sharing it caring! and thank youuuu
I follow you with all my heart and interest but i rarely comment, but i have to because i watch you for the fact that i can relate to you at many levels, don’t ever feel like you’re rumbling for too long, it’s just your way of connecting and releasing your thoughts. I totally understand you, I’m on the same thing with my partner lately, he works and is always busy but on the other side I’m not “busy” so I’ve been putting off some moments just so that i can dedicate that time for him when he’s free, as you said the only time we see together is when we go to sleep.
You’re content is unique, it’s calm and it represents you and i like that! Just keep doing you, of course there are low and high states during our day, week or month, and i think it’s beautiful how that mess of moods we have make us human and stable. Cheer up and much love! 💕💕💕I hope i spot you around Seoul too!! I will also scream if im far away even tho i’m shy😹😹😹
wahhhh thank you so much and YES SCREAM AT ME hahahhahaa
Your videos keep me calm after 12 hours of work ♥️ you are doing a very good job with the videos 😊
omg hope you get some nice rest after that!! and thank you!
Thank you so much for showing us around a normal day in the city AND for letting us into your inner world a bit.
my dad and i love watching your videos cari !! they're so relaxing and sweet and REAL in a way,, it makes us feel so relaxed !! hopefully we can visit seoul sometime soon, it looks beautiful there :) thank you for sharing your life w/ us !!
wahhh thank you so much for being on the journey with me!!
@@caricakes also i was wondering what the song was at 8:18 ? i looked in the description but couldn't seem to find it :)
@@sarpila1995 It's by Husbands! I believe that track is called Phoenix :)
@@caricakes i just looked it up and i think that might be a different song... thanks anyway !! :)
@@caricakes update: i found it !! it's Smoke by Husbands. your music taste is A+ !!
your vlogs are truly my favorite thing to watch - i relax and always grab a cup of something and enjoy it to the fullest. thank you cari!
Sis, yeah we might have found your channel for the “living in Korea” aspect but trust me... it’s no longer about where you take us but about just spending (virtually) time with you! ✨ you are a very transparent and interesting individual, don’t worry about us!! And by the way, ever since you started working part time your editing style has improved SO much :) we will for sure look forward to the Japan and Scotland vlogs, but meanwhile a coffee and sharing time with you is excellent enough ♥️
GAH thank you!!!
There was so much in this video that I could relate to - thank you for talking about it too, I felt a lot more at ease after 🙏🏽 I get the whole feeling annoyed by our “lack of progress” with our work but don’t apologise for that Cari! Your videos are all so calming and uplifting - I’m not even sure when it is I’m gonna go to S.Korea next but there are always things in your videos that have and continue to inspire my daily life, so thank you for that!! 💙 Also just had to say that the choice of soundtrack and editing for the cleaning bit was SUPERB
Sorry for this mini essay - I hope you’re feeling better! Have a great time in Japan!! ☺️
heheh thank you so much really!! and i cant wait to share japan vlogs with you!
0:34 Okay i am from India 🇮🇳and after watching your videos i always wanted to visit Korea once .. its such a beautiful place and i just want to visit once.. ughhhh love your videos ❤️❤️XOXO 🇰🇷
I hope you get to visit one day!!
girl, don't even worry about it! your personal life and health should come before anything! We love you no matter what! Stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe
Hey Cari, it’s totally normal to feel that way, I’ve been feeling that way too and it’s fine! sending you tons and tons of hugs!
Your vlogs always make me feel better they’re so soothing and relaxing! 💜😘🥰
thank you so much! hope we both get better at feeling better!
love you cari! I’m a college student who just loves waking up in the morning and having coffee and chats with you! your channel is so interesting, especially when I am trying to be a registered dietitian who works in Asia :) love!
I feel you Cari, I personally don’t know what’s going on with myself. It’s been up and down for awhile now for me too. But I know it will be okay, as long as I have time to reset myself. I appreciate you taking the time to say this. 💜
yes! we just need to let it all pass :)
Ups and downs are sometimes inevitable, but don't be too hard on yourself Cari. I totally know that feeling, having too many expectations for yourself and not seeing all of it come to life. I am working on accepting that you can't always do 100%, and that's totally fine. We love your content Cari. Hope you're feeling better now :)
thank you so much! i'm feeling so much better dont worry :)
I could watch videos of cafes, funny t-shirts, views from buses, fast clouds, wind in the trees... every day. Your editing is beautiful, your videos are calm and relaxing, and they show a very personal but also very real side of Seoul. I feel you when it comes to expectations and always trying to do more and better things, but sometimes we have to slow down. And if we don't, the universe does (I just had a similar day to yours last week lol).
Thank you for all you're doing, and have fun during your upcoming trips! :)
There's a lot of content out there but you give things a very personal touch and you talking to us makes you relatable and makes me happy...Many times you have been my 'that one person who gets it'. Thank you so much for sharing. :))))
gahhh thank you so much :')
I really appreciate everything you want to say, film, show, share and even hide if you feel like it.... I like your vibes in your content!
Barely 4 mins in and.. I love the fact that a cafe is located in Korea and is called moritzplatz and that's German (I'm learning German =D) for moritz's place :)
Also, THAT quote paints my life "You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.". Also, that transition of music in train into vlog. Also..I had to tell you before continuing to watch ehhe.
oh,hope u feeling much better now. it's ok to feel that way, life can b pretty stagnant sometimes. look forward for your future video - whatever the content is. the thing bout your channel , it's not bout enjoying the seoul cafe / scenery but the way you edit it . i love the editing! & music of coz. therefore whatever the content is, will always look forward to it!!!
Hi Carri, I just wanna say I actually love the “therapy session” at the end of the video. It let me realize that not everyone’s life is prefect all the time and you are sharing your true feeling with us, which makes me feel we are closer to each other, like friends.
