hello~✸
Let's check off things from my to-do list together so we can have fun in Portland! I've been enjoying adding little healthy habits into my work routine slowly to create a good work-life balance. Which means more time to watch kdramas, do yoga, and be happy.

One advice I could give to my younger self (I am 40 now), is to always always do stuff in the order of fun and enjoyment. Follow highest excitement, because your soul knows which activity is for what time. When you enjoy and love something, you're aligned with soul, when it feels like uphill struggle, veering away from soul. You know by how you feel. I learned this from Abraham Hicks.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

For me, it's the opposite. If I do fun stuff first, I have no motivation to do the less fun stuff later. I knock out the stuff I'm dreading first so I have the fun stuff to look forward to later when my energy is waning and I don't spend all day with that feeling of dread.

[@neverforgetpapa5386]

@@tarabooartarmy3654i used to be like that too, and to an extent i still am but without the feeling of dread being a motivator anymore? idk how to explain it but i kinda trained my brain to not see the dreaded activities as awful xD and instead of sometimes waiting for the least desired things to be out of the way, filling the time before with stuff i also enjoy or improving myself has made life overall more well rounded. i never thought id be able to do fun stuff before significantly less fun stuff (stuff i used to dread) but i can say it’s one of the most beneficial things ive learned. just had to challenge my brain at the start fr. anyway i wish the best to youuuu

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

@@neverforgetpapa5386 oh, I do hope I can get to a point where I no longer dread the less fun stuff. I’m almost 50, and I’m still stuck with that. I procrastinate a lot because of it. I really want to stop doing that. 😊

[@neverforgetpapa5386]

@@tarabooartarmy3654 i completely understand. i spent my life focusing on how impossible it was and living in perpetual discomfort, but just a few weeks telling myself the opposite and trying it out gave me a chance to see change. just one moment at a time ^^ you’ve got this!

Love how Tiffany just casually activates hundreds of google assistants at the start of the video 😂

[@shelleydenison]

You are my favorite comfort youtuber. I Love getting cozy with a knitting project to watch your vlogs.

[@Scribble_Rodent]

Yippee another Apple Cheeks video🥳

[@apple.cheeks]

Yippeeee!

[@Feuryy]

Recently got back into journaling and crafty hobbies this year after giving it up for so long. I’m so glad to see you’re still making videos and your business is thriving ❤ also crazy to see how different things are from 2 years ago

[@crystaloconnor1541]

I live in Portland and it's also my home town! I'm so so happy you guys had the pleasure of enjoying good things about this town! Love that you came here!

[@tammydinh]

[@apple.cheeks]

Wanted to try calming music this time ✨

[@flamingoliz]

Your videos are always so peaceful. Earl is so cute, glad he's become more friendly. Glad you could get away and have some fun, Portland is a fun place. I haven't been there in forever. ❤

[@Makermamamakes]

I absolutely love the rearview accessory is so cute! I need one ASAP 😍

It’s remarkable life balance working vlog

The creative act is so good!!!! :D Thank you tiffany for what you do :) you have helped me so much throughout my art journey since I started my career change a year ago :)

[@melisjevisje]

Hey Tiffany, I want to thank you for your honesty and showing what your day to day life is like! Your work inspires me a lot and brings me motivation when I'm feeling low. Love your videos!

[@hnin.studio]

Love the editing o this video, especially the yoga part! I haven’t had one morning without looking at my phone first. Thank you for the inspo ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheStainedCanvasArt]

I agree with you about writing my schedule down. The to-do list style I write it out as makes it less intimidating to finish. Also ❤ Earl.

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, I really struggle finding the balance ☺☺

[@natalieastravars7313]

we've been blessed by Earl! thank you Earl

[@apple.cheeks]

He loves blessing everything!

[@bumbledeve]

22:50 thank you for the eye drops, my eyes were getting dry

[@Catlista]

Portland Oregon is my home town! I love seeing you guys walk around downtown and visit shops. Feels like being back at home. Love when you come visit! Next time I around Im gonna snap apic of your sticker and add one of mine to the window wall! Thanks for the video AC!

[@valanne4333]

Pine Street biscuits is the best

[@karenfindleyart]

I’m watching queen of tears too 💃always enjoy your videos 🫶

[@ArtandGreenTea]

sighhh *turns on queen of tears* (really great video! you motivate me so much w/ every video 🤍)

[@micaela.herrera]

My cats love doing the same to my yoga mat. Also love making my own perfume, it's surprisingly easy. I get fragrances from natures garden and mix it with cosmetic grade or skin safe alcohol.

[@janinebrown8020]

i'm watching your videos from Cape Town, South Africa and had a giggle when I saw your mug :) Love watching your creative process and packing orders, it inspires me to not give up on my dream of owning my own little creative business one day.

[@user-yt5yf6kd6d]

i am in that place currently where my entire business is based on client work and i strive to make more time for individual exploring and projects for myself.

[@loganwilliams2656]

Hey beautiful I love your videos so much!! Also, I need to know where your green knit tank is from… it’s so cute!! 😂❤

[@aimeecreative]

Love your videos!! If you like matcha, you should try the one by bloom nutrition! It’s so good and Japanese grade :)

[@tannerfrostbowen]

Love your videos, so strange to see you in PDX. My office is in the Ford Building right next to Pine State Biscuits!

[@stephanyg7779]

In the beginning when you asked google what time it was, my google home went off and told me my current time 😂

[@maddywilkie]

me too haha

[@apple.cheeks]

my google went off at least 10 times while I was editing this vlog xD

[@citrusgoldfish]

Hiiii, what app did you use when you transferred your sketchbook page to ink?

[@rubabamir16]

Your videos are always feel like a breeze ❤❤❤ Also I wanted to ask that can you share which app did you use to concert your drawings into ink art on your iPad 🙃

[@apple.cheeks]

Notability :)

[@BlueBannette]

1) where did you get those adorable pants you're wearing when doing your yoga set -- they look so cozy? 2) is that convert to ink feature you used at 6:20 something you can do in procreate?

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

OMG, I've been watching Queen of Tears and it's sooooooo good! I've been begging my bestie to watch it, but she hasn't been able to and it's killing me not being able to talk to her about it 😂

[@Nameshouldbehereplz]

Your vlogs are always so calming and inspirational. May I ask where you got that sofa(couch?) from?

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you!!! It’s from PatuuLiving on Etsy!

Hi Tiffany! We sent you an email a few days ago! Have you seen it? Looking forward to hearing from you! 💜🥰

What’s that black box thing on your laptop?

hi , i'm curious what is your mbti ?

[@apple.cheeks]

When I was younger it was INFJ and the last time I took it, it was INFP

[@nominshurtsogt6424]

@@apple.cheeks really , that's what i thought because every infj or infps are the most childesh yet very matured at same time . by the way really like the rough sticker skeych , especially that "i'm just the girl " one . 🎀

[@idoruuu]

Omg same. When I was younger I got INFJ; and now I am an INFP lol

[@divanity888]

I’m the opposite! Was always INFP when I was younger but it’s been INFJ in the past years 🥰 Noticed that basically all my favorite creators are INF* ❤️

[@apple.cheeks]

It makes so much sense that we share mbtis! We're drawn to each other
