bits of my life lately here in seoul, korea VLOG

Hello there~ This vlog is an absolute mess of bits and bobs that I recorded last week. The weather was really lovely most days so I spent a lot of time out in parks and cafes trying to enjoy before summer sets in fully here in Seoul. Thanks for coming along as always and I'm sending you love from Korea!!!

Hi guys! I'm having trouble getting back to all of your comments (seriously, overwhelmed by your sweet responses) so I just want to say thank you right here! Just to clarify about me feeling "meaningless," more than about the virus/quarantine, I was speaking about what's happening back in America and now all over the world with the BLM movement. I really want to be able to do more than just donate and spread links/info, but that's all I seem to be able to do here in Korea. If you've been to a protest or shared your voice in-person in anyway, thank you. I wish I was standing up with you. That's why the whole ~going to get a smoothie bowl~ seems so stupid while my friends are literally being hit with rubber bullets and an in-fathomable amount of crimes against the Black community are still being ignored by law enforcement (Breonna Taylor's murderers are still cops) I get the message that my vids can be an escape or recharge from what's going on so I'll keep making them but I just still feel a little odd living while others are risking their lives. I don't know, rambling as usual but really thank you - I'm here to stay don't worry! I hope me bringing a moment of escapism to those who are on the ground still marching can be my small contribution to the cause.

[@yoskiergal]

Hey! I've been following you on IG as well, and I know you've been vocal about donating on there - I think another way to help with video ~malaise~ might be to either steer people towards foundations/organizations/individuals who are involved with BLM, or even using the video adsense towards donating to those causes. Another thing I'd be interested in is seeing in are BIPOC shops/cafes in Korea!

[@luvvved]

really appreciate you cari

[@oliviam469]

i know i’m late to this comment but i feel the exact same way and i even live in austin texas. i only donated and didn’t go protest bc i always had work but i felt so mad that i couldn’t bc i felt like i wasn’t ~really~ doing something but i promise u even just talking about is doing something so don’t beat urself up over it :) i had to learn that too

[@nikki_ikki]

your content is n o t meaningless - its brings me and i'm sure SO many people comfort, a voice to hear; especially at times like these

[@caricakes]

thanks so much!! we're all here for each other 🥰🥰

i always feel like i’m going on an adventure with a friend when i watch these vlogs! 💚🌿

[@caricakes]

i feel the same^^~

[@asmithashenoy9404]

Same here!

[@najyaindra2292]

23 minutes????? it's gonna be a good one for sure

[@Justit7843]

trueee

[@youandwhatarmy635]

Oh man I’ve been having so many existential crises as well-all quarantine really... And the world has felt so much more horrifying lately... Thank you for being a voice of understanding and comfort

[@caricakes]

yeah 2020 has been a ride - but we're here to support each other

[@danielasanchez558]

I cut my hair with All my existential crises it was so long 😭😂

[@grainandsalt2113]

You bring people happiness and a way to escape the mundane, even if it is for just a little bit, and that one of the most important “jobs” imho! And when did you manage to film these bits in the cafe haha ?! you’re a real pro! Hope you’re feeling better💙

[@caricakes]

🙏🙏🙏 and I’m sneaky hahhaha

[@kyratulippetalvideos]

Hi Cari, I just wanted to tell you how much your vlogs have helped me recently. Prior to watching your videos, I had always been anxious to do things on my own, and I would often not go to places even if I rlly wanted to because my friends would be busy with school, work, etc. I regret that so much now especially since quarantine has made me unable to go out to these places. I love these vlogs because you show how much fun it can be to go out and do things on your own, and even how liberating it can be bc you’re only doing what you want to do. Anyways I’m rambling now but you’re so inspiring and I can’t wait to take this new mindset w me for the future ☺️❤️

[@caricakes]

thank you so much for this!! i hope once quarantine is over you can safely and happily go explore on your own! it takes some getting used to but its better to go experience something alone than miss out because you didnt have others to go with :) have a wonderful day!!!

[@shawnadavis6037]

I've always love how you capture Seoul! The way you can look at the small details and show how they can make a bigger picture more beautiful is a gift in its own right. Thank you for your hard work, Cari!

[@caricakes]

thank you so so much!

[@TheYKSONG]

(The reason why military planes are often seen is because the air force airfield is nearby.) Wow~!! The Olympic Park is my most favorite place in Korea. I used to hang out there with my friends when I was in School. Even after I got married, I often took my child for a walk there. This video reminds me of my childhood. My goal is to move back to the neighborhood and live there but the price of house near there is too high. Anyway, thank you for the uploading the video.

[@caricakes]

thank you!! i had never seen them fly right over the rose garden before so it was a shock hehe

[@Joseph-eh4rs]

By the way, that was C-130 Hercules cargo plane. Mundane tidbit. 🙂

[@georgianasstudio]

I've just moved states here in Australia and so I don't know anyone where I live and we've been in lockdown basically since we moved. It's only in the last week or so that things are really opening up again. I've been trying to 'meet' local people online but nothing is the same as interacting in person...even for us introverts! Don't under-rate how valuable your videos are to others because just seeing other places through your eyes is a breath of fresh air when I've basically been in my apartment day in day out for most of the week. It's also winter here so horizontal rain has also kept me indoors. When my partner is home on the weekends we do go out for walks in the bush but your videos make me feel like I am travelling more broadly. I hope so much to visit Korea. Everything that comes through your camera is new to my eyes even though you see it every day.

[@caricakes]

Thank you always! I hope your new home starts to feel more homey soon and that we can all go out safely ✨

[@dawnforlife]

And seeing food that I would like to eat but can't is painful but also mentally satisfying (pretending I can eat it). ahhaah! I hope you get to make some face to face new people soon, even if it's just strangers (being introvert), I guess a smiling face/hello of a stranger makes a difference. 😊

[@youandwhatarmy635]

I’m so glad we get to visit those flower fields again!! They are _magical_ ✨✨

[@caricakes]

they really are :')

[@thepeasantfarmer8157]

I really love how you always say "We". I enjoy even the tiniest of your(our) adventures. Thank you for your time and your creativity. From a flower farmer at the end of no where, Canada.

[@dorakerestely1519]

I just wanted to say that your videos are not at all meaningless. Personally, they help me a lot. It's just Wednesday but I'm already tired of this week, and these 23 minutes spent with you bring me so much joy and inspiration to keep on going. I don't know if this helps you with your "mini existential crises" but I hope you know that you are playing your part, in your own way, and it does mean a lot to some of us out here. ❤️

[@ninna12tw]

I just started watching the video but that poppy field needs its own comment , sooo beautiful and magical 🧚

[@caricakes]

right?! whoever spread those wild flower seeds did an amazing job!

[@AnaIsabelIero]

My day always gets brighter when I see you uploaded! Thank you for making these hard times so positive 🥰

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!

[@turikas]

I know I've said this a million times before but I'll still say it again- watching your videos is perfect for starting my day. It gives me a sense of calm n comfort when i want to start my day in a positive note. You're making people like me happy with your videos so don't think what you're doing is pointless

[@LoveMBQ]

Your vlog is the remedy for my homesickness. It’s been 20 years since I left Korea and I might not go back for good since now I have my family here in the states. Your videos give me so much comforts and it feels like i’m there with you. Yes, there are bigger things happening in the world. But our lives are made with these little moments and we will take them with us when we leave this world. Please find comfort in the fact that there is a woman in the states feeling happy by watching your vlog. Totally meaningful!!

[@WheresAnne]

The last 3 minutes of the video was so important (and relatable). Thank you for being so positive and genuine, we need it especially during these times...

[@caricakes]

we're never alone!!

[@madsfinch5938]

Essential Cari Cakes content: .... hold on... there's a dog.

[@caricakes]

we always pause for good boys hahahah

[@lipglass]

i'm glad the heat's not deterring your flower-viewing and café-hopping! makes me want to go outside more :)

[@caricakes]

yes! anything for poppies!

[@lipglass]

@@caricakes i got to the end and i'm sorry to hear about the bad moments, we are all here for you cari! i don't think you should feel silly carving some time out for happiness even right now because we can't live in existential dread mode 24/7, and we need strength from good things to deal with the bad

[@DreamyLele]

Your videos mean so much to me. I have depression. And when I watch your content it feels like a heavy blanket, with a cuppa tea and cookies. And it's not curing me of sadness but it enhances my happiness with every video I watch. Your way of making content is absolutely lovely and it warms my heart every time I watch any of your videos

[@karenkingrey6142]

You know, I totally understand what your saying. I have had a lot different feelings these last months also. But I hope you take some comfort in knowing that the clips of those roses and poppies and other beautiful landscapes or just seeing something different than what I have to see everyday is actually quite uplifting! I’m sure there are many others who would agree. Please do not be discouraged in making videos but find joy in whatever good we take from them.

[@caricakes]

thank you always truly!!!

[@eruditearchive]

Watching you go get a smoothie bowl, and all the other fun, mundane things you do, has helped me stay sane and keep my anxiety in check over the past few months. Your content is NOT meaningless--it reminds all of us to calm down and enjoy the simple pleasures in life again, like we use to before all of this crap. That is important and very much needed in times like these. Thank you 😌

[@ashleighe253]

Hey Cari! I just wanted to let you know that your content, no matter how mundane or messy your days are, really lifts me up and makes me feel less depressed in these times. I was an essential worker over quarantine here in America, and your videos kept motivating me to work hard and get back to the place that made me happiest- Seoul. I'll be moving back next week! Thank you so much for being a positive beacon of happy yet real vibes in my life, and know that your work is not small nor meaningless! Love ya lots, Ashleigh

[@MsREASH]

Your vlogs aren't meaningless you give a random person like me a happy moments in my day. Simple things do have meanings. They're just simple.

[@laura-md3ue]

Cari I just wanted to let you know that your videos are not meaningless at all, with everything that has been going around I've been feeling very low and unmotivated to do anything, but your vlogs always bring me so much peace, I sometimes even rewatch them just to draw while also watching your videos so yeah thank you very much for that and for bringing so much comfort to us

[@trinitykendrick4969]

i always get so excited when you upload a vlog because i live vicariously through them lol!!

[@caricakes]

wahhh thanks for coming along!

[@moonlightstay7]

i don’t think i’ve ever loved vlogs as much as i love yours 🥺

[@kittysantos3725]

Your content is beyond not meaningless. It helps people relax when they are overwhelmed or stressed. There's even more stressed out people right now that need ways to be able to not stress. You are helping.

[@Hanna-fy3yq]

Your videos are a highlight for me ❤️❤️❤️ I hope your foot heals quickly! To me your videos are not useless.... they are a nice (needed) change and an escape from all the hurt in the world and I support you no matter what. I hope you can feel like yourself and feel inspired once again soon ❤️❤️😌 I am right there with you with not feeling myself and feeling lost. Thank you for all your lovely vlogs and videos, they sure do put me in a better mood. Luv you 🥰

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!! glad we're all here to support each other 🥰🥰🥰

[@rodhen2007]

Your content is most definitely not meaningless. Your past VLOGs of Japan have been helping through these times of existential crisis, as you said, because they’re relaxing and give me nostalgia of when I was In japan the last half of February of this year before COVID. You’re doing amazing sweetie, and thank you for sharing your life and AESTHETIC with us.

[@bethany9253]

Thank you for your videos. We save all our KZbin videos for the weekend so that we can get through these hard weeks. Your video is usually the first one we watch. You are so calming and the places you visit are so serene. It’s wonderful to see that there are places that are still beautiful. And that there is still a world existing outside of our small area. As a Canadian viewer it’s really nice to be pulled away from what is going on in our country and the US, even just for a few minutes. These days are so difficult and so draining. We can’t serve from an empty vessel, and videos like yours fill us up with hope and joy and beauty so that we can continue in fighting for a better world. So thank you.

[@clairyairy]

Your feelings are so valid. I know I've commented something like this before, but your videos have honestly been helping me get by because I'm strictly socially distancing and haven't had any other human interaction (other than my family) in over three months. Not only that but your book and art content has inspired me to read more often and draw/watercolor for the first time in my life! Your content is really meaningful to me and I truly thank you for being so vulnerable and open.

[@dianeferreira801]

I have been struggling to keep myself positive these days. Sometimes I can't sleep but in the morning I have to pretend I am happy to the children I teach. Your speech made me feel I'm not alone. I know we have to support each other but we won't be able to that if our mind and body are not okay. Take it easy on yourself.

[@caricakes]

you're definitely not alone in this!! we've got each others backs :)

[@lasyagp]

Hey...you are creating content that switches on my spiritual side and your voice especially is so comforting. You are among the very few who talk about nature and weather more than anything else in their videos which eases my anxiety attacks. YOU ARE PRECIOUS Cari, your content is NOT meaningless.

[@junumom]

I can’t speak for everyone, but it is so great to see Korea through your eyes, especially during these crazy times. It is so healing and such a nice break from all the crazy news that I have been watching too much of while stuck at home. It is nice to see that somewhere in the world, people are living somewhat of a normal life.

[@jamieontheroadtolove]

the music picks for this vlog's soundtrack... i don't know but they just hit different! love me some new "ambiance" tunes to listen to 💖

[@mollysmith3081]

Your content isn't and never will be meaningless! I live in the UK and everything happening here at the moment makes me feel that we're all doomed but I find your content so calming and reassuring, to know it's more normal somewhere in the world makes me feel a lot better so thank you!

[@marlification]

What you do is not meaningless. Your vlogs always make me smile and remind me of the simple joys in life. They are a lovely little escape during these trying times. I lost my job as a graphic designer a week and a half ago, thanks to covid-19 and I thought that now that I have all this free time that I would spend it making art and illustrations to build a portfolio of the kind of work I really want to do... but so far I haven't felt motivated to do anything. Maybe we just need to be a little kinder to ourselves and take things slow. You should feel proud of yourself. I love your content. Please don't stop. You've inspired me to take myself to the movies tomorrow and stop stressing so much!

[@ioanazivku1189]

Life has been so chaotic and not pretty for so many people, it's so nice to just relax and watch your videos. You bring good into the world! The music you pick is PERFECT and being able to enjoy the beautiful nature that you show is just *chefs kiss*. I get excited for the next video every time one is posted.

[@evawins2]

Cari, you're so awesome and your videos bring me and your viewers so much joy and comfort. You've inspired me so much. I'm finally going through with putting my application in for my study abroad! You've helped me a lot with your videos. Your work is so meaningful to us. As a young black woman in America, I've been struggling a lot for the past few weeks. You've brought me so much comfort. Keep pushing! We love you, and thank you so much!

[@fairoadiary]

I love these videos... they give me a sign that humanity seems sane even in a time like this. It also makes want to visit Korea but I'm scared and these vids just make me pretend I'm there trying all the food you show

[@caricakes]

the insane always seem to be the loudest haha and hope you get to try all the food yourself one day :)

[@mathildascarlett1496]

Please don't think that your content is meaningless! I love your chill vlogs so much they offer such a lovely little escape at this time and they are so so calming. To me, the everyday life is so magical and underrated and your videos really put a spotlight on the little things. Thank you so much for everything you create and take care of yourself always

[@KellieRoseMakeup]

Your vlogs have meant a lot to me lately. I don't have too many friends and once I discovered you last month, I felt like we were so much alike. I've been having a hard time lately with absolutely every aspect of my life and your videos have been bringing me so much joy. No pressure or anything lol, but you just filming whatever you want to film and sharing it with the world does have a positive impact on others and allows us to escape our reality for a short moment. So, THANK YOU!!

[@mikahmabutol]

So much is happening around the world and it only make sense that we feel what we feel right now. I found your channel last year and i've never felt more calm, inspired, and humbled all at the same time while watching someone on here. Your videos and the community you've created is so beautiful and i hope u never forget how much your vlogs mean to us ♥️

[@hibahn327]

I don't believe that your content is meaningless. Watching your videos is a very bright part of my week and I always look forward to it. It brings me joy and comfort to see a relative degree of normalcy as things where I live aren't so great. Being stuck at home, I find your videos like a sort of window to the world. The colours, the experiences , it all makes me feel like the dreamy state you mentioned you were in after the movie. Thank you so much for all the videos . I really appreciate you Cari ! Take care !

[@jennywren6232]

Cari you're such a treasure. Your videos never fail to bring joy and there is nothing meaningless about that. Everything is so difficult right now and I 100% understand your feelings, but I hope you can keep (or regain) confidence in the immense comfort you offer so many people through your channel 🧡

[@rileydelallo]

I haven't watched one of your vids in so many months and I don't know why I ever stopped watching you. These videos always make me feel so happy.

[@ItsMishelly]

thanks for sharing your thoughts at the end! I've definitely felt like a blob just floating through life, especially since I just graduated college so it's like what do I do now lol glad I'm not the only one on this boat!

[@caricakes]

youre most definitely not alone!!

[@heyhello6866]

Hi Cari, I just wanted to let you know that your content is not meaningless, I've discovered your videos in quarantine and they've helped me to not only stay sane during this social distancing but also you inspire me to keep motivated and prepare myself to follow my dreams and live in Korea in the future. The little things that you capture and your thoughts are so valuable and even if it's not in a conventional way they do change lives and I'm really grateful for that. Hope you feel better soon and thank you for all your hard work and for being you :)

[@Joynights]

Joining the bandwagon here but just want to uphold the fact that your content is so the opposite of meaningless, I totally understand how it can feel that way when there are so many serious issues happening in the world, but your content represents all the warmth and goodness the world (or Seoul lol) has to offer and it’s refreshing and comforting especially in these times. Thank you so much for inspiring us 💕

[@sotiria_lazaridou]

I love these kind of videos so much! Just a chill and nice vlog that helps me get rid of all the stress❤

[@eleni7371]

I don't know why but whenever I'm watching your videos I feel educated, calm and productive for some reason. You have such unique content and it really inspires me and makes me daydream about traveling (my goal in life is to travel). I'm an 18yo girl from Greece and I just want to thank you personally for sharing your experiences in such a beautiful way.

[@folkingmarvellous]

For what it’s worth, I think it’s great to make vlogs like this, wit yo getting smoothie bowls and living life as normally as possible. I’m in the uk and lockdown has only just started easing and it’s been so nice to watch someone in a country that’s dealt a bit better and been getting on a bit better. I live vicariously through you getting smoothie bowls! It also gets me very excited for my trip to Seoul which I’m planning as soon as travel becomes easier!

[@Mariah-ddalgi]

I loved seeing the flowers I needed that 🧡 That exhibition was so beautiful I love the design!! yay Cari introvert meeting up with people☺️🧡 I want to learn from you ahaha loved the masks over the statues xD 12:54 aaaaahhh you're so cute!!! yes I love lazy days/daily vlogs yours got me into those types videos

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!! i agree, focusing on the present is so important!!! have a great day too :')

[@lazaromalalana]

I understand what u say, i've thought about it too serveral times lately. But at the same time i have to say this: im from spain, i've been in a very intense quarantine since march, i couldnt go out of my house, it's been kinda intense emotinally too. But one thing that has helped me through all of it it's been your videos. Seeing you going to places, all that chill mood that your videos have, kinda calmed me. It was like a window to some form of escape from everything. Every week im waiting for your videos because of it. And i have to say that im very thankful for it.

[@dawnforlife]

Barely two mins in OMG!!! The poppy fields SO pretty and and I can just imagine the smell of roses! I pass these Swiss gardens with a fraction of what you were visiting and I HAD to pause to smell EVERYTIME! hehe 🧡

[@briandempsey8129]

Thank you so much for sharing your version of Seoul with us. We had a trip to Seoul completely planned and payed for when the virus hit and had to cancel. We go to Seoul twice a year to partake in the beauty and thank god that you are posting things that we really wanted to see this time. We all are helpless against all the craziness, especially in the US, so I find it comforting to see Korea, shinning through to show us how our lives can be, at least some of the time, imbued with simple beauty. We were laughing when you said in your video that this was a "lazy time" for you. Ha, ha ha!! Please continue with your lazy life! We love it.

[@sarahcass6129]

Hi Cari! Thanks so much for uploading your videos. I know a lot of people have also commented the same already, but they are very helpful! I've had several trips cancelled the past few months and your videos help me "travel" all the same. You always capture such beautiful, tiny pockets full of life! Raindrops on the bus window? Brought me so much peace. I think sometimes we feel so small when the world feels too big for us, but our little daily moments and routines hold so much meaning. Thank you for sharing your feelings -- you are definitely not alone. You are very creative and have showed us so much fun art and projects! I bet the next big one is right around the corner :)

[@izad3421]

I just recently discovered this chanel and I love it. Im stuck in my NYC apartment working crazy hours and your content is like the window to the world to me! Thank you for letting us peek into your daily life, when your are grabbing coffee, getting smoothie bowl, and all these things that you think are meaningless. That's what a lot of people, cut out from friends and families, need these days - a virtual friend :)

[@loujbt2036]

I get where you're coming from. . I feel silly about a lot of things these days too and feel too much and am worried about everything. But your videos help me calm down and just be for a minute so don't feel like what you're doing is insignificant juat because there is a crisis going on right now. You are helping people like me a whole lot with just showing us that life goes on. And I want to thank you for that💕

[@layanqash6615]

Your vlogs really make me happy ❤️❤️ thank you so much ☺️ And I love your meaningless moment because they’re meaningful to me 🥰

[@vitoriafloro2358]

Cari, i just wanna say that your videos are not meaningless at all ! I live in Brazil and right now the situation in my country when it comes to the pandemic it’s not really good. it really makes me happy to see that at least, in some parts of the world, people are living their lives and going out. watching you getting back to normal makes me believe that it’s not the end of the world, everything will pass and very soon i’ll be out getting a smoothie ball too!

[@jadetio]

Hi Cari! I just wanted to say that your videos bring me a lot of comfort and joy. I feel like I really needed to hear that last bit in today’s video about not being alone. Thank you so much for that ❤️ You’re not alone either. I just want to let you know that you’ve been a positive figure in my life ever since I found your channel. I hope that reading this makes your day a bit brighter 😊

[@ghitaessabban2054]

Trust me, you're helping some of us more than you think during these very unsettling times...Thank you for your content Cari!

[@chasingmillions8584]

To echo the many comments, watching you do simple things like get a smoothie bowl has been so nice for me. Lockdown and rules have not been loosened too much where I am, so having you "take us places" has been something to look forward to. And, even if we weren't in Covid times, I'd still find your videos a treat. 😌 Thank you, Cari! Much love from Canada xoxo

[@brucebodo9846]

Your vlog is something and it means something to everyone who watches. My father passed away from the covid virus and watching and listening to you reminds me of my trips to Korea and good times. There is a comfort there when you take us along for your day or week and some of us can escape for a little bit. Thanks for what you do.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Bruce Bodo I hope you’re doing okay today. I’m so sorry for your loss

[@madihasiraj8368]

Thank you for ALWAYS putting out the best content ever. Your content gives me this warm feeling and just makes me feel SO good. So, thank you. I hope you feel better soon, We all will get through this. Sending positive vibes and lots of love to you! 💖🌸✨

[@0bsidianflutterfly]

thank you for your parting words at the end of the video. it brings me immense comfort 🤍 and i really really love the track at the start of the vlog!

[@leahrounsville6021]

You are such a positive influence! I understand how you are feeling but your vlogs are also an escape for all of us. I hope you feel better. Don’t feel like your work is meaning less it is so inspirational, your creativity is amazing!!

[@mariellaciniglio389]

I really resonated with you at the end of your video Cari. Your videos are far from meaningless. I'm sure I can speak for many of us who watch your channel when I say that you have truly been a beacon of hope in these confusing and unsettling times. You provide us all with a sense of escapism whilst we're all trying to figure out how to cope with our feelings as well as making the world a better place. Keep doing what you're doing Cari. You are certainly not alone. I want to thank you personally for letting me live vicariously through your videos whilst I (impatiently) wait for the lockdown to be released here in the UK. You have helped me through some of my darkest days. You have inspired me to make more plans for the future and venture out into the world - Seoul is now certainly on my list of places to visit. Oh, and great movie choice :) I saw it when it released and it gave me a feeling of pure nostalgia and comfort :) Thank you again Cari.

Hello! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and they have helped me a lot to relax and find a little space of peace during this time, I can totally relate to what you were talking about at the end of the video, I think it’s very hard for everyone to find a healthy balance between our daily routines and everything else happening in the world currently. I decided to start a KZbin channel during quarantine just to put my time into something and lately it has become harder to find the drive to actually sit down and create new videos, that’s why I’m very thankful that you continue uploading your vlogs and putting the effort to share them with us and give us this relaxing and fun little window of time. As you said you’re not alone in what you’re feeling, thank you for opening up to us and make us feel a little less alone as well, lots of love!

I'm down to my last few weeks in Seoul before moving back home and woww this vlog made me love and appreciate this city so much. And so many beautiful ideas of things to go and enjoy too! Thanks for a chill and lovely vlog as always. You're the best Cari!

[@AthenaManiam]

Cari! Your vlogs have been such a source of comfort and hope and *life* this period... I cannot express how good they have been to watch especially because my country's just coming out of quarantine today, it's been really nice seeing life outside of my window even if it's through your eyes instead of my own. Can't wait to be able to travel again and to hopefully be able to walk the same paths you've taken us down but for now, I am so thankful for your vlogs! :")

[@christineg6759]

Your videos always remind me to go out and enjoy life more. That even with the world being a mess at the moment, that there are still dogs and poppies and smoothie bowls. 🌼 It's really comforting. Your videos are important. Take care of yourself. 🌼

[@hopenast3163]

Cari, your videos mean so much to me and they give me so much joy!! You inspire me to enjoy the little things in life and to stop for awhile and appreciate all the world has to offer, and that’s so important right now. I totally feel the “everything is pointless” feeling. Life is exhausting and confusing but when it comes down to it, it’s beautiful-and you remind me of that!! so thank you for your joy and your realness, it truly brightens my day and grounds me. :) thank you thank you for being you🧡

[@Evelyn-bt9bw]

[@livinlikestef3839]

Your content is definitely not meaningless

[@lovewords2270]

Oh I hope you know your videos have made my time stuck at home so much better! I having a growing love of all things Korean. When you share the small pleasures of your daily life it helps normalize things! Y THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your life with us. Cheer up, Cari! We will all get through this soon.💕⭐️

[@ChanuChaptersVlogs]

Those poppies look beautiful 😍 your voice is so soothing and honestly I started my channel because i loved your vlogs and how they show so many places without stopping at one place for too many seconds! 😍 thank you for the inspiration 💖

[@caricakes]

Wahh thank you and good luck with your channel!!!

[@vania_27_28]

Love every single video you post. Short longer every one of them. Your personality, your way of seeing life makes me feel less anxious and more happier. Every time. So grateful for all your hard work. Also Seoul has my heart. Any other city comes closer. I need to go there

[@fayeb.988]

Thank you for the aesthetic,relaxing videos💕Love from Scotland

[@test-mm7bv]

north korea situation is probably why there were so many military planes overhead oddly reassuring that they were preparing way before it happened also, what you're doing is provides a much needed reminder of what is 'normal' during chaotic times (abroad) cities are burning, economies are imploding, and there's still a raging pandemic - we need your calming content more than ever!

[@user-ms1lp2sx2e]

I got very touched and surprised by your words at the end. I was thinking how much I was envying your life while I was watching the video because I’m currently struggling to go live abroad in Korea and I’m also feeling very lost and worried about my near futur. But when you explained your thoughts and feelings at the end of the video it just reminded me that people that show their life on internet don’t have a perfect life and that being jealous of someone’s life is always stupid because everyone fights battles. Thank you for sharing your feelings it helped, really. Loved your poetic video as always. xx

[@eseoefe_]

your channel and all your videos are my little happy place tbh they're like a small island where I can escape to and see how nice life can be. I wanted to say thank you for providing us with all the amazing content you make and for giving us a window into a world where we can unwind and relax. Take care and know that we love you lots! 💕💖💕💖

[@Tayuyasoundnin]

Cari I'm really glad that you're still continuing to make videos during these super stressful times. It's really cathartic to see you go about your daily life, I really enjoy these vlogs. Even more so since cases of coivd are still on the rise here in San Diego. I appreciate that you addressed things are stressful at the moment, I think it's important not to ignore what's happening and carrying on as if nothing is out of the ordinary. I hope you recover quickly, keep on keeping on :)

"today is not forever", we have to hang in there, it'll get better

[@kseniyausovich6980]

Your videos mean a lot to me. Since I can’t travel now or go sit in a coffee shop, I like to “travel” with your videos. Thank you so much for making them!

[@sihamhassan9896]

it really isn't meaningless!! whenever I feel like the world is too much I can always watch your videos for a little escape:)

[@caricakes]

Thank you!!!!

[@Ohthatamber]

This was such a pleasant and chill vlog to watch, thank you for sharing 💜 I hope your foot heals soon and you have a relaxing week!

[@caricakes]

thank you!! hope your week is nice too :)

[@Consciouscuban]

I feel so recharged by just watching your videos! Thank you for bringing us along with you to these places and filling our screens with your positivity ❤️

[@Lizandjinx]

It took me 8 sittings to finish this video (love long vlogs, just chasing my toddler around) and I just want to say, your videos bring a lot of joy and I understand the feelings. I had to work through the whole quarantine thing here in the states and whenever you posted a video it always hit when I was in a dark place and needed just a quick break to help me breath and refocus! They might feel small but your vlogs are sooooo beautiful and help some of us get out of the darkness for a bit. You’re great and I love your videos!

[@armyami]

i really really appreciate your content and its such a nice break and breath of fresh air in life from everything that's going on in the world💜 i hope your foot gets better~

[@caricakes]

🥰 thank you!!

[@turib6526]

this was such a lovely watch!! i don't think your content is meaningless at all, it's such a nice refresher and i think having that is really important 💖💖

[@pagedotcom]

your videos have given me so much hope over the last few months & i am so grateful to you for that!! i totally understand what you said about feeling uninspired or in a weird mental state though - i hope you don't feel pressured to keep making videos for all of us right now if you feel like you need a break! sending love and hope your foot is feeling better! 💗

[@elizabetha7753]

I love your vlogs. I really appreciate your honesty too. p.s I freaking love the songs in your videos. A lot of the Indie rock you add just hits so differently with your videos in an awesome way 😌 I’ve added a lot of songs to my playlist from your channel :) Love from Texas 🤠❤️

[@mathildegauthiez7363]

Ok so I usually never comment but I've been following you for a year, and your videos always put me in a good mood :) I lived in Seoul for a bit and used to enjoy the same things as you, so watching your vlogs feels like I was still there in a way. So thank you~ and hello from France !

[@caricakes]

[@blackmill]
