hearing Kurt use Cari's full name to tell her to focus was hilarious haha

[@caricakes]

😂😂😂

[@Noideaforausernamex3]

Iceland is currently expecting a volcanic outbreak any moment. So if you're lucky there will be an active volcano for you to see when you come to Iceland!

[@caricakes]

Uhhhh hahahha 😳

[@XxrazorxmintxX]

Hahahahaaaaaaaahahahahaaaa just knowing how much anxiety Cari has overcome in regards to traveling, this comment has me DEAD

[@Noideaforausernamex3]

Aaaaand it happened! But it isnt the exploding type of volcano (like Eyjafjallajökull was), so they're saying we shouldnt expect it to affect travelling conditions or such. We've been having these types of "nice, tourist volcanos" every year now for three years in a row. Maybe because of global warming? Who knows!

[@youngchronicpain]

I am currently in Colorado with my best friend for a girls trip and today she is canyoning (something i’m not physically able to do) and while she is doing that I am exploring a small town called Ouray in my powerchair. You have been a huge inspiration to me for solo travel! I no longer feel awkward sitting quietly and reading my kindle or iPad in public while alone. I am able to see and experience so much, and I just wanted to let you know that you make me feel more brave! 🌸

[@caricakes]

Omg yes that makes me so happy! My only thought if i see someone by themselves reading or sitting in a cafe is wow, i bet theyre interesting 🥹

[@filibusterfirework74]

I have heard Ouray is beautiful! I hope you had a wonderful time ❤️❤️

[@ayleensweb1158]

'this puppy is the owner of a bookstore i love' was my favourite part! I also want to find a local bookstore that is owned by a puppy or cat! 😄 It's really great to catch up on your recent videos this week! I absolutely adore the atmosphere you manage to create in all of your vlogs!

[@caricakes]

Truly felt like a celebrity sighting hahahha

[@pleasedtoreadyou]

i so appreciate getting to peek into people's regular lives! because that way i feel that i can do these things too - not just living vicariously through others.☺ thank YOU as always, Cari!

[@caricakes]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@justathumb]

as a film animator, we generally do contract work, jumping from studio to studio for different projects, depending where in the world we are. a couple of my friends worked on spider-man! it's crazy, but basically all the movies you see are by all the same artists, moving around, it's just so awesome that the studio actually LET the artists make some interesting work for once! we don't generally get to make those decisions, so it's SO awesome when a studio can be brave and try something new, it makes us so happy, especially when people like it! 😄

[@allisonhosman3986]

Tucking into my favorite Saturday ritual. Also, I noticed that your phone is in Korean - way to go! I remember when my brother switched his phone’s language and how much it helped his learning. I’m a language teacher so I love to see these little touches of authentic learning 🥰

[@elliellem]

this comment just inspired me to change my phone to the language i am learning. thanks for the idea! :)

[@yona9678]

This is my, Sunday Morning Ritual 😂

[@caricakes]

🥰🙏🥰🙏

[@filibusterfirework74]

If you need more of an indoor video idea, I would LOVE to hear how you planned your parents visit to Korea. My mom and I are visiting next year and honestly everything looks so amazing I don’t know where to start 😂 There are so many good cafes and museums and historic sites to choose from and plus we should be there in cherry blossom season which is a whole other can of worms 😅 Also so excited for your Iceland vlogs ❤️ It’s one of my favorite places I have visited and I can’t wait to be transported back!

[@maryr329]

Kurt was an excellent tiger mom. 😊

[@caricakes]

🐯🐯🐯

[@josephl447]

For anyone in Korea now, take it easy and don't overdo it on the plans! I'm typing out of Pyeongtaek 평택 and it is scorching this past week. Keep a boatload of suncream, even more water and a damn parasol if you don't have one. Stay safe!

[@celina6259]

I'm loving every vlog and it’s just pure comfort content 🥰 The details of housing, the little shenanigans and the coffeeshop asthetics love it!

[@IdaMariaBaek]

Just have to say that I love watching your videos! I feel that you are both honest towards us and yourself when making your vid’s! Thank you 🙏🏼 😊

[@supremepsd8943]

i love watching your videos on a low sunday or coming back from work, this is really my me time

[@brooke-d]

You've got a new fan, my husband watches with me now lol Yay for Sunday morning rituals spent together 🙌🏼 So many puppies and cats in this one 😻 I'm looking forward to watching the new spider man now too, thanks!

[@caricakes]

Omg yay!! 🤗 and yes I’ve been bugging everyone around me about spiderman 😂😂

[@nataliemartin6075]

I love seeing Kurt in Vlogs. It feels like a little easter egg or something haha

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Love the "ordinary days" vlog :) Somehow watching the daily life and routine is really calming yet interesting. I personally almost never plan my vlogs - being spontaneous is fun. Loved this one and definitely going to try making more homemade meals, maybe some Korean too❤

[@caricakes]

Yesss definitely try out jjigae, its hard to make it taste bad hahha

[@JamilaCAHProwse]

i love your videos sm. the balance of montages and talking is so great and the editing is beautiful!

[@caricakes]

Thank you 🥹

[@ZmogusBlogas]

i'm so glad that you are my most stable weekend routine, love the feeling your videos give me! love the peace they bring, no matter the content

[@caricakes]

Thank you always 🥲

[@gabooshi]

This was sooo cute. I feel like I know so little about Korean food so I always learn something new from these ‘what I eat in a day’ vlogs

[@caricakes]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Kyle-yv8il]

Love that when I open my eyes in the morning on sunday, I can watch your vlog 🥺🤍 Thank you so much for your adorable video ! Hope you have another great week ✨ Love you, from Busan 🌊🇰🇷

[@caricakes]

Happy Sunday 🤗🤍

[@Angel-xq9yz]

another great video , love how you bring out the charm and character of the cafes

[@caricakes]

Thank you!

[@SinneD2305]

Café hopping last week was pain. But discovering how much easier taking the bus across the city was the best part. Can’t wait for next week’s vlog!

[@caricakes]

🙏🙏🙏

[@nikkip9778]

Hi Cari. We've been watching your vlogs and we're finally back in korea. We're going to the cafes that you recommended... first stop Dotori Garden and we luv it! Thanks for the recommendations and content!😊🩷

[@caricakes]

[@indrianikurniawan7048]

it is always nice to catch up with your videos!! Was eating throughout the video and felt like I am eating with a friend, especially during the jjigae part haha

[@caricakes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@auhona-gohona]

honestly, cari, you can make tea and look at the camera while sipping it and that'd be a top tier content for me fr fr on god no cap, so hope you don't stress yourself and take it slow

[@caricakes]

Hahhahhahha thank you 🥲

[@moonprincesslizzy]

Me and my 6mo baby watchin your videos chillin taking a much needed break since I too am a work aholic stay at home mama who never sleeps or stops lmao my 3yo and husband are sleeping sick. These videos are the best ♡ they help me wind down 😊

[@vvrazvv]

love your vlogs and this gerard way necklace!!

[@itsRebeccaRayne]

I live in London and it's so expensive to live here! I'm excited to visit Seoul soon, the food and coffee looks so good for the prices!! Very good compared to London. It really depends where you're from and how affordable things are with your currencies etc

[@JessyDraws]

Love it 😊 so much delicious food 😋 and what a nice lovely week you had! Here in Vienna we hit the 35° and it's absolutely horror for me 😅 but I have so much time for reading now! Happy next week 😊

[@caricakes]

When I eventually visit Seoul I'm gonna eat 10 times a day with the places I've seen you show 🥣 That tennis thing looked so fun 😅

[@caricakes]

Thats always my problem when i travel 😂

[@darcyreads]

It’s not Sunday without a Cari vlog!! 🤍 Thank you for making these videos Cari. After you told us in the previous video that your Flight Anxiety content wasn’t doing well, I rewatched it a bunch of times and didn’t skip ads. We appreciate all the hard work you put in and hopefully this small gesture would help with your stats 🫶🏻

[@caricakes]

Thank you always 😭😭😭😭😭

[@midnightmara]

OMG the Gerard necklaceee

[@miriamflaatten5938]

I've also been watching Silo!! The finale was insane! There's a book series its based on which I'm so excited to read

[@caricakes]

I want to read it but also dont want to spoil the tv show 😂😭😂😭

[@darkroastcoffee9410]

haha, will be in Korea in August, and dear god, I'm gonna melt 😭 but honestly, I guess I need to rethink my budget, I need my coffee, and I want to eat my way around in Seoul... thank you for your videos, I take a lot of inspiration 🤍

[@stone2619]

Hi, Icelander here. I hope you will enjoy Iceland, btw it's very windy here and I recommend to bring gloves, a scarf and a beanie just in case 😊💕. Love your videos 😘.

[@annarlobo]

Hi Cari!!! Loved what you showed us, i'm getting more and more into your videos and also curious in wich camera you use? Can you share with us? Lotsssss of love and keep making this kind of content💓

[@mhn7700]

I'm not gonna do too much, it's just gonna be a chill NORMAL week, she said, and still proceeds to do in the first day what I do in most weeks 😆 excited for more neighborhoods, but I also love these everyday bits and pieces, especially when cooking is involved! speaking of, I'm shocked at your kimchi prices. it's not that far from mine across the world so omg

[@caricakes]

Bahahha yeah the week was unexpectedly busy 😂😂

[@KaylaCosmos]

It's been getting crazy hot here for real! Luckily I'm on the East Coast in Pohang and this whole week has been so cloudy. Yesterday felt like a fall day somehow haha.

I love the tennis, we don't have a place like that. You and Kurt I hope will get a pet for yourselves one day soon. You would be such good pet owners. I would love to walk in that forest park one day, it's lovely.

[@caricakes]

We definitely want a dog once we’re in a bigger place 🥹

In love with the owner dog 🥺

Kurt in the tennis clips is hilarious.

[@rixanoz]

So as far as I can see except for the ungodly apple price, groceries and cafe prices are pretty similar to what they are in my tiny little Norwegian western coast home town. Even the gochujang tub is only marginally more affordable over there, which makes me appreciate my Asian food shop even more for not marking it up more than strictly necessary 🥰🥲

[@caricakes]

Yay I’m glad!! Norway (I’ve only been to oslo) was definitely expensive from a USA perspective but i loved it there 🥹

[@aileen8492]

You are living my dream life. I hope one day I will experience all of this.

[@caricakes]

I hope you do too!

[@okalanibergschneider1201]

I work at a grocery store in the states and I lost it when I saw the price of produce. Like the yellow kiwis for $11. I thought $6 at my work was expensive and I always forget that South Korea is basically an island nation because of North Korea.

[@Hoang-88]

5,5 years living in Korea and still going, it’s a pure nightmare to be a plant 🌱 eater in Korea. I will probably visit Seoul during the super moon vacation, this video help me to see what I should be expecting

I’m curious if there are any decaf drinks in Seoul cafes? Apart from juices and decaf coffee. Do Koreans drink herbal teas?

[@amytan7081]

Seoul is much more affordable, wait till you live in Singapore, prices are Diabolical! A drink and a pastry of some sort at a cafe is double the price of Seoul. Thank you for your vlog, makes me wanna plan for another Seoul trip!

[@caricakes]

But nowhere in seoul sells carrot cake (Singaporean style, not the dessert) 😭😭😭
