[@baeticat]

I spent 2 weeks in Korea last month during the heatwave, and these autumn views make me miss seoul so much 😭 i wanna go back so bad!!

[@ioanax3421]

I was in Seoul last weekend and seeing your walk in Seoul Forest was so heart-warming, I was there last Sunday and also overheard the jazz festival there. Such a beautiful wander! Edit: I see later you also went to the wildflower garden! Another great memory from last weekend for me :)

[@Karoliina.]

Your bowls looked so cute!

[@caricakes]

thank you! im so happy with them :''')

[@womenarehealing]

I think you did a lot with the Slovenia blog, which was like a moveable (video) feast. Sometimes it's better to have a lighter vlog in between. I always enjoy your videos. And yes, can't wait for the next one! 💛 PS: on my way to make some pasta!

[@caricakes]

Thank you so much 😭

[@RR-qh1gu]

loved this vlog!! and i haven't seen the wild robot (yet) but i am such a movie crier that part was so relatable haha

Adorable mug and tin. Who is your favorite Moomin character?

[@summerg.2934]

Perfect end of a hectic day with a cup of tea vlog. Recently I have gotten into Chapters tea, great flavors with literary art on that packaging 😁 Not sure how I feel about Wild Robot, The Iron Giant ruined my life as a kid, no thank you on reliving that trauma lol 😭.

[@heelifths]

thank u for motivation! i’m kinda want to go on the park rn 😅

[@nissasbookcorner]

your face & your thoughts are always interesting to see cari!

[@TheOliveDiaries]

I absolutely love your videos and you inspired me to start making my own and I hope one day my editing can be as good as yours!

[@RebeccaH43]

Those flowers are gorgeous 🥰

[@caricakes]

[@delatoba]

I love that Moomin mug! I own one myself 💚

[@marsarson3620]

22:57 Literally me too after seeing The Wild Robot with my mom😭 I cried three separate times cause the art and animation was so good and i love the story :’)

I'm in the UK and planning on sending my Ohio ballot this week! I've always lived in Ohio, so it never really occurs to me that it's a battleground state. It's just my reality. Yay for new perspectives!

[@hiraeth9139]

Lovee the video as alwayssss, i am desperate to know the book you were reading on your kindle from the first few mins the first paragraph just caught my eyes.

[@caricakes]

LOL its pumpkin spice and poltergeist and i will have a live reaction/review on my book channel next friday hahhaha

okay i live in northern gangwon province, and my county is known for golden apples, so if you want to come to the 양구 펀치볼 사과 시래기 축제, i won't be there but the apples wILL

[@caricakes]

omg that sounds amazing! i wish that area were easier to get to cause i'd be there in a heartbeat - love 시래기 too :')

[@hazelnut8991]

Hi Cari! I'm wondering if you've read the Moomin novels, and which is your favourite? I've been rereading them all as an adult and they're so good. I love Moominpappa at Sea the best :) Also, have you read any of Tove's books for adults?

[@GlamPatrisha]

Ye apples in Slovenia, even i get confused with so many sorts. I like sour ones , like Granny Smith

[@Sthemingway]

Odin speed that your absentee ballot arrives at its destination safely on time and is treated with the utmost respect and seriousness that it deserves.

[@caricakes]

Already got confirmation it was received 🙏🙏

[@Sthemingway]

@@caricakes Awesome blossom.

[@RebeccaH43]

In Oregon during the spring in the capital there are a ton of cherry blossoms 🌸🌸 they are so beautiful and I was able to get there this year to take some pictures and I was quite literally being smacked with the falling flower petals the entire time 😅 my forehead, my cheeks and even on the top of my head 😂 My caregiver wasn't at all so we concluded that because of my wheelchair i was at the perfect angle 😅 I still had fun taking them though and they turned out so beautiful 😊 I'm going to be taking pictures of the 🍂🍁 soon and i feel like i will keep getting hit with leaves 😂

[@caricakes]

youre lucky because cherry blossoms are usually so soft but getting hit with some of these autumn leaves HURTS hahah be careful out there lol!

[@RebeccaH43]

@@caricakes 🥰 I will keep that in mind 🤗

[@deborahalice]

I just applied for an extension on my visa in Sweden and my anxiety level is through the roof. It's nice seeing how chill you seem to be about it lol I still need to go get biometrics taken since they don't save any, and it's between a 3 and 8 hour trip for me depending on whether I can get a friend to take me. Oof. How much did you have to pay? For me 2 years is $200 and I won't know if I actually get the visa for mooonths.

[@caricakes]

im only chill because my visa is the easiest one to keep/renew cause i just need to prove im still married lol but back when i was on a work visa i was a MESS. for me its only $30 to renew thankfully and i just got the 2 year visa - it used to be renewed every year :'') hope everything in your application goes well!!!!

[@elifyldrr8376]

Hi Cari, what was the other Moomin tea that you loved but couldn't buy at the store? Lots of love💚💚

[@JLA0219]

Ouff I gotta renew my F6 too. Idk why it feels so stressful every time 😂😂

It sounds like they don't want ppl to vote 🤨

[@caricakes]

What? What about my very easy voting process makes you think that 🤔

[@Milovatsi]

@@caricakes like stamps and money and visas etc

[@caricakes]

my visa is to stay in korea and literally has nothing to do with my ability to vote by mail? as you could clearly see i was in a korean government building. the us doesnt care about or control my visa???

[@caricakes]

and its very very lucky that we are allowed to vote by mail. some countries (like korea) only allow in person voting or voting at places like their country's embassy. im VERY thankful that overseas or absentee voters can vote with such ease. no one "doesn't want ppl to vote"

[@janemuses3031]

We need more Californians in Pennsylvania as I can probably guess you voted for...the continuance of democracy. ;) We are mailing in our votes as well in California. It's been a rough month here and really can't wait for Nov 5 to be over. Although there will be all kinds of shenanigans if you-know-who loses and refuses to acknowledge it. Sigh...honestly can't wait for this year to be over. With the hurricanes and Middle East conflict, and now US politics - thank goodness for happy vlogs like yours that provides us with a bit of respite. Keep doing what you are doing Cari Cakes!!

[@DarthJabba504]

Thank you for voting KAMAL! She's such a smart, powerful, accomplished woman of substance and principle! Won her nomination through the overwhelming support of the people, not through backroom corrupt horse trading of favors!

[@caricakes]

💙

[@Mocha-Cloud]

I understand that it’s legal for you to somehow still vote even though you haven’t lived in the US for years, but I believe voting should be reserved for those living in the U.S. I have a feeling you support Kamala. While you’re enjoying life in Korea, we’re dealing with the challenges here.

[@tatianap5236]

well said!

[@Sunshine85282]

She still has to pay us taxes and has us citizenship. She can vote!

[@knightthezero]

I’m so sad with where we have ended up as a county. I have to vote for a person who won’t even speak up about a genocide to keep another crazy person out of office. Morally I just feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place bc not one single option is good and I can’t believe this is what we are left with as choices for leaders. America is so broken
