Hi annika ! I just want you to know that you inspired me. I am a Filipina who works here in Dubai. im living alone . It's sad and lonely. The work is stressful and exhausting too But when I discovered your channel, somehow, the loneliness i am feeling turned into motivation. I feel happy and relaxed. So whenever I am browsing in yt, i always check if you have a new video upload

[@annikasleaf]

🥺❤️

[@user-fi7bb1ds3s]

hey, i am stressed and lonely too. i hope we get to fight our lonliness somehow.. ☺️

U DO DESERVE MORE ANN🌼

[@nandanamenon6581]

You deserve more queen! 😍

[@asteri4704]

OMG you're finally verified! Or has it been a while and I'm just stupid

[@omamai3293]

You deserve way more!❤

[@vale_studygram8733]

Your videos make people feel relaxed and entertained!!! Keep going your videos are beautiful 💙

[@khalilahd.]

Me too 💛

[@Mistyleap]

Same 💜

[@shades3142]

So inspiring to see a young girl being so responsible and mature having her own business. You are trully inspiring! If I had to guess what you would be making next I'd probably say pyjamas or tote bags and couch cushions with different materials with your sewing machine.

[@whodosentlikeggyolk]

She should totallyyyy make some cute tote bags!!!

[@Dcaye13]

Congrats on the 700k. Loneliness is something that is difficult to battle but I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself. And sadly I'm not sure how much it helps you but know that your videos help me with loneliness. When I can't sleep in the middle of the night having your videos on a loop in the background helps a lot. So thank you so much. Also p.s. your food always looks amazing.

[@khalilahd.]

I love that you can be so open about stuff like this because it’s so relatable. I’m proud of you for taking the time to recharge and recenter. Also congrats on 700k!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@Meelameels]

I would recommend editing outside in a cafe or something like that would help you feel less lonely and even make new friends! I work from home and I started doing that and it became so much fun for me to work now

[@leahg.9519]

OML the dance party had me rolling!! 🤣🤣 I just wanted to say, thank you so much for all the time, energy, and love you put into your videos. I've been struggling with mental health and your vlogs have felt like a genuine friend that I can't wait to catch up with each week. Wishing you all the best! 💙

[@Eve_Melatonin]

The dance party was the best thing I've seen all day!

[@arson8510]

I’m epileptic and after a seizure watching calming videos always calms me normally I watch gaming or something because I seem to notice vlogs or “what I eat in a days” can be either 1.To much 2. Unrealistic. But I’ve noticed your videos are very calming yet realistic. You show mistakes you show the cooking you show what you do and none of it is hectic so thank you so much for your content

[@verivalentine]

the meal planning and the balance in each dish are so cute and effortless that I cant believe it took me so long to realize these meals are genius.

[@nivabobiva]

aww your little cherry tomato plant is so cute!!

[@shanjanarajesh814]

OML U POSTED 4 HRS AGO AND THERE IS 190 COMMENTS AND 12K VIEWS! this just goes to show that we love you and ur super aesthetically pleasing videos that make our days! luv u!

[@ieyahfudzi]

shes so chaotic i love her energy so much

[@lovemorganv]

It would be cool if you open a little part of your shop where you list where you get your recipes from/how you make some meals because I’ve always wanted to make some of the stuff you make it looks so good

[@chaerryblsm]

ahh ty for posting,,

[@serikime]

I love your vlogs so much they always relax me and calm me down. I'm pretty stressed these days which resulted in me binge watching your vlogs even the past ones they're just sooo nice. Thank you for that

[@jessistrails]

Love your videos Annika! They are truly amazing and inspiring😄 Usually, some people are afraid of college life and living alone in general... But your videos make me excited for the future!! Thank you so much❤😊

[@bripalooza3719]

Man alive these videos are so relaxing and it feels like catching up with a close friend ☺ your cooking segments really inspire me with my own cooking as well, I get so many ideas for things to try! 💕

[@cars-fv6gp]

Hi Annika! I love you channel so much!! I watch your week vlogs when I’m cleaning and it’s so nice!! Luv ya! 💕

Earlyish!, Just wanted to say that I love your videos very much and they give me motivation . Thanks for the vlogs and keep up the good work! And take care 😘

[@_dearolive]

[@abidahjaved75690]

You don't know how much i was waiting for you to upload something omg & you did it, i feel so happy rn, l feel like home after watching your videos, they are so my type of💕🌸

[@arkamashfaq4019]

Who wants Anika's appartment tour?

[@Ann-yn4tb]

Thank you for the time you put into your videos. I enjoy each and every one of them. You remind me so much of my daughter when she was you age. She just turned 40. Yes! I am an old grandmother! I often think how proud your parents must be of you and your accomplishments. Congrats on the success of your shop also. I ran an invitation wedding on Etsy for years (now retired) and know the amount of work it requires. Keep up the good work and the great cooking inspiration!

[@hannb99]

I always get so excited every time you post a video, it's one of the highlights of my week!!

[@Mars-tb2jr]

I love watching your videos I feel so frustrated with myself afterwards because all I do is lay around but I do enjoy watching all your videos your vibe is amazing and your such a sweet person I admire you so much.

[@p0pcorndog529]

I just have to say that i love your videos and they motivate me so much❤️

[@kawaii_gallery]

i am loving the living alone in sm! love how relatable and real you are💓 also the editing is soo aesthetically pleasing 😌🤍✨

[@marsgal6027]

I'm glad to see you so open about how you are feeling even if I'm sorry you are feeling that way. Your videos bring such a great comfort to so many sometimes it's easy to forget that you are someone who craves their own comforts. I hope you continue to talk openly in the future about how you are feeling and just know it's okay not to feel happy all the time 😊 I also wanted to make a tiny suggestion for your chickpea salad sandwich at the beginning, I would try putting some black pepper and maybe some smoked paprika in there, that should give it some excitement without being too spicy or maybe instead of mustard try adding a little Sriracha to the mayo. Still has a kick but should taste delicious. Thank you for creating such a lovely safe space with beautiful content and I hope you feel better soon ♥️

[@peaxchmilk8259]

Whenever I watch your videos it makes me calm, relaxed, and inspired if I ever get my own place someday. I feel a lot motivated on nice things I can do if I ever live alone.

[@xoxocailin]

your videos give me so much motivation to move forward in life! and they are so aesthetically pleasing to my eyes

[@cyb3rslurrxx]

[@twig4078]

And by the way can we just appreciate how much work she puts into these? Likr you inspired me to start my own shop (wip), and you gave me so much motivation to just exist-

I've been watching you most of the day and i feel like i ran out of videos to watch that are more current (made in 2022), but i still love the videos 🤩

[@scoutinfashion]

Thank you for your videos! I’m moving to LA soon from Michigan (it’ll be my first time living alone too!) and your videos have given me hope and even excitement about the move. It will be my first time living alone and being so far from my family - thank you so much, you have no idea how much comfort and reassurance your videos bring 🌸✨

[@Lisasplace]

if you need a break don't forget to take it! A vidoe less or a shorter video, all is good! your health is the most important

Romaine Lettuce is a great veggie to have in your garden! My mom and I grow it and it just keeps on giving us yummy fresh leaves for weeks! Also herbs like basil, rosemary, chives, and dill are great too.

[@lilsavage7994]

everytime you post a video i feel so excited.😍😍 your videos are so cozy and aesthetic.your the besttt😍🥰😃😍

[@martindurkin8837]

Hello Annika I'm brand new to your channel and enjoying it very much! You have a wonderful sense of humor and I too am a mayo addict. (I love to dip french fries or Tater Tots in it.) I'm also sloppy in the kitchen but only when I'm wearing some of my few nice clothes your antics there make me smile and as someone who also lives alone and usually considers frozen dinners actual dinners you have inspired me to do more for myself. Glad to meet you.

[@abbydoyle]

every single time u make food it always looks so good & refreshing

[@diviAesthetics]

i love this style of q&a but also I liked hearing you talk to us. hope to see you chat with us more 💙
