how i really feel about living alone 🍰🌷 what is my job? preparing my shop relaunch, 500k cake q&a!

happy sunday from the homebody lol
💌 [open for (1) new message]
first of all, 500K OMG? hello...
thought i would do a mini q&a at the end of the vlog to (re)introduce myself to you! it also worked out well because i've just been printing and cutting stickers all week, so i feel like the vloggy portion of the vid was a bit boring aha 😅
thank you so much for your support! i hope i can give back to you for allowing me this opportunity to take things slow and explore my creative and career options after graduating, by providing a bit of comfort & cozy to your weeks 🤍
take care,
annika
p.s. that cake was delish. it had layers of both classic cheesecake AND chocolate fudge cake. yum

New here ....Watching you from USA 🇺🇸 just discovered your Channel . I'm new youtuber and my contents are about Slow Living lifestyle but I love watching your video. Your contents are amazing 😍😍😍😍

[@jeanmariananical2092]

This is my dream. Like living alone in an apartment, cooking all the foods I want, cleaning up my house alone. Damn I wish I can do this when I get older.

[@shehanvlogs5354]

Yes,this is my dream.

indeed! so nice to see her growth and journey :)

[@ninalanzaderas8919]

How I wish living independently but just can't. So inspired about your journey. I always admire people living in their own. Hope I could do the same someday. Keep shining! ✨

[@_dearolive]

There’s timing for everything! Hope you find happiness wherever you go! 🤍

[@kylacineger8771]

after a week of living alone i came to the conclusion that feeding urself and making sure u get the nutrients u need is wayyy harder than we think. Sure u can plan ahead but u have so much things u need to think abt, i hope it gets easier after a while

[@_dearolive]

@@kylacineger8771 that's so true... it's easier not to eat or eat junk food because it's only you. i feel like i eat sooo much now that i'm married because now i'm also thinking about my husband!

[@Anna-dd1tb]

​@@kylacineger8771 It isn't easy for sure ! One thing that helps me a lot is cooking like I would when i cooked for my parents and brother, so that i have leftovers for the next meals. Even better is when I do it twice in a row and then i can alternate and not always eat the same thing. Freezing stuff if you can would also be helpful, but I'm not there yet on my journey ^^

[@MariJadeWrites]

same, wish to live alone someday, but at the moment need to save and stay where I am. Good luck on your journey!

[@chocomilks_]

i love how realistic annika is on camera!! your such a role model for my channel 💗 i love your aesthetic!! the q&a was so cool. the answer to the relationship question was so relatable too 💀 amazing vlog as always!!

[@yu1.exe_]

Compared to other vloggers, your personality is so unique! Your life style also inspires me, so keep going!

annika has the most aesthetic and relaxing vlogs ever!! her room is literally goals!

[@tessapeterson5318]

You have certainly cultivated a cozy, warm, loving space here on this channel. It's nice to see you again! Take care, Annika!

[@rochellavanderwal9320]

There is very very few people I feel like i resonate with, especially vlogging people, you are that person. I am a very introverted person and I can get quite anxious by loudness. Your videos are so calm and aesthetically pleasing. I love it. ❤

[@_dearolive]

These calm vlogs are everything!

[@khalilahd.]

Congratulations on 500k Annika! Your videos always brighten my day and your hard work is paying off. So happy for you ☺️💜

You’re so relaxed and humble. I just discovered your channel today and it’s so nice to just sit down after a long day and watch your calm lifestyle. Thank you for your content ☺️❤️

[@xenia4817]

I personally like watching your videos because 1. its aesthetically pleasing 2. it motivates me 3. it romantacizes daily life and as an young adult this is exactly what I need. You're a very kind and sweet person and I adore your art!

[@mariachristopher836]

I actually stumbled on your channel as a recommendation from KZbin and I find your videos so relaxing. At the same time I have been inspired by your work to start making my own greeting cards, scrapbooking, and creativity out. I can’t say I dig avocados or eggplant but your recipes inspire me to create my own. Love your channel and cannot wait to see your new site relaunch, in need of cute stickers for my cards and journal!!! Thank you!!!

[@Homewithtabassum]

So Sweet of you ❤️

Congrats on 500k! I laughed as you zoomed into the Golden Girls shirt. I glad you plan to do research before getting a dog because they are a huge commitment and you need to make sure you pick the right breed for your place and lifestyle. Love the new sticker designs.

[@annikasleaf]

LMAO i didnt even notice

[@XSemperIdem5]

It's those darn overpriced coffee drinks. If only we made our own coffee at home 😂

[@spookyxboba]

the reason avocados are on shortage is bc thugs know that they make good money and they have been hurting local mexican farmers that grow avocados. basically starting a war between farmers and local thugs.. so the US is stopping the importing of avocados from Mexico to discourage the violence. and most of the avocados do come from mexico so welpers
