hi guys, here's another week in my life as summer comes to an end here in seoul. I was a little on edge this whole time because of family stuff in the States so if I sound a little off, thats why :/ thanks for your understanding always!
Mentioned:
Juno Hair - naver.me/xOCxy3Co *
* forgot to mention why i dont get a perm anymore and basically, its really damaging - i saw that if i continued perming, i didnt notice the damage because it was covered by the perm but once i stopped, the hair that grew in was even frizzier than before. as i've let my hair grow out for a few years now, its finally better and i much prefer my natural hair to hair that looks nice but will literally snap off lol

thanks again to rosetta stone for your support and helping me remember large land mammal in japanese :') tryrosettastone.com/caricakes-1

[@nannyg666]

Cari; Maybe it's just my imagination, but lately you seem to be expressing an even more comfortable-with-the-camera, expressive, cute, charming, and delightful personality than before (not that there was anything wrong with before), and I am loving it.

[@caricakes]

thank you!

[@sunshinemyson]

You definitely are a calming place to be. Thanks for all that you give us.

[@lovelife1.072]

Idk if it’s just me but i almost like vlogs where we just chill with you at home, make some nice tea, bake a cake, read a book, do some hair care, clean up, paint, or just random things around the house. it’s so soothing for me, at least. sorry you were having a down day, i hope you’re better now 🍃 it’s starting to get cold where i am. could you talk about your tea obsession a little :P i just wanna know i’m not the only tea hoarder out here lol.

[@hannahdigitals]

I miss experiencing the seasons changing in Seoul, autumn was by far the best, the golden ginkgo trees are unmatched

[@caricakes]

they're my fav :''')

[@Jollybean97]

@@caricakes May I know where’s best to see these trees? I will be in Korea in November and hope to enjoy the autumn in Seoul 🥺

[@seonmuls]

your naturally dried hair looks even more gorgeous than having it blow dried at the salon! so pretty♡

[@thea_hana7224]

a fun note on the name of the tea! (im swedish) ”himla” literally translates to ”heaven” but is very often colloquially used to mean ”very” so it can be translated to both ”heavenly good” and ”very good”, just a cute play on words (which explains the angel om the packaging) that i wanted to share! 💕

[@caricakes]

Hehe yes i wrote that on the screen! I remembered her saying it was heavenly so I separated the words in google translate hehehee

[@anyaguinzbourg8609]

Cannot compare the happiness, calm, and comfort I feel when I see you’ve uploaded to anything else, and it’s so nice to hear that the feeling is mutual 🥰 your hair looks gorgeous!

[@caricakes]

:'''') thank you always!

[@Sthemingway]

"If there's an umlaut, I'm lost." -- I *love* your one-liners. Your videos have a way of being upbeat for those who need some zest or want to share in jubilation as well as being soothing for those who need a pillow or some commiseration.

[@caricakes]

the umlaut, the bane of my existence hahaha

[@Anna-og9rj]

your vlogs are some of my favorite videos on the internet, they just feel so comfy

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!

Start of autumn in Seoul looks beautiful. Those cakes look delicious, would love to see a vlog of making them from start to finish. Happy to hear the Japan trip sold out and good luck with the visa processing.

Your videos, your life, has been something so inspirational to watch. You are so calm and open minded about the world and about new people. Your videos help me with my anxieties and my emo moments to. Just knowing there is the possibility of moving across the world or traveling and just being able to do those things is amazing ! I’m living through you but you’re also inspiring me to prioritize my life’s dreams and my abilities (increasing my confidence) to create them!! Also also LOVEE all the vegan things in this video !! 🖤🖤 Thank you for being you cari!

Thank you for this. I can relate to every single thing you've written and feel understood. 🌱☀️ Have a wonderful day!!

i love autumn cari, whenever i watch u at this time of year i feel so warm and cosy and sentimental and its such a great feeling so thanku xxxx

[@anniek820]

Two things: 1. Your hair is gorgeous, color and style. 2. I just spent 3 weeks in Korea, most of it in Gongju where my son has lived for 12 years. Because of your Gongju video, many months ago, I had put the art park (with the huge bear sculpture, etc.) on my must-do list, and being there in person - finally! - was wonderful! Just wanted to thank you.

[@caricakes]

Omg that makes me so happy! Glad you got to visit 🥰🙏🥰🙏

I always look forward to the weekend because of your vlogs. Everything from your editing to the music to the beauty of everything makes me smile so so much. Your hair looks lovely as well 😀

The apple cake turned out wonderfully, I will try to bake it for sure!!!

[@markd3250]

Another enjoyable few moments with the one and only Cari Cakes! Who also happens to make cakes! You make it look so easy, and delicious too. Unfortunately I have the Bandini touch when it comes to things like that, so I truly appreciate your culinary prowess lol. I could practically smell it. I love cakes that aren't overly sugary. Yours looked like it would be perfect with coffee. You hair is simply gorgeous, and you don't really have to do anything with it. Amazing. The ideal length is either twice the distance from the top of your head to the bottom of your chin, or three times that. Depends on how tall you are too. You can go four times that length, but going long becomes a daily chore, and you don't strike me as that kind of person. Although you have an eye for cute outfits, you seem to dress out of necessity more than being into high fashion. That fits your personality to a T. Your vlogs are always warm and personable. Even if it's just shorts and a t shirt, it's the person inside that makes the outfit. Thank you again, for a (I still say they're too short) delightful chat, or I guess it's more of a watch; still works though!

[@minimalisticjoy628]

Hope you’re feeling better!

Heavenly good is actually correct. That's why the tea has an angel on the package!

[@ginaji8000]

Don’t ya worry, I can smell the cake just looking at it😍🍏yum apple and cinnamon together so lovely.

[@caricakes]

the best combo!

[@SwedishNonsense]

Oh my god WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SWEDISH TEA! Everytime I go home I bring back at least a kilo of flavoured loose leaf tea. There are so many little cute shops where they have a wall of tins of tea behind a counter and you go up and ask to smell or for recommendations. My favourite one is called "vita knektar", or white knights, and I have no idea what it's meant to taste like but it's delicious and have teeny tiny meringues in it (I suppose these are the white knights!).

[@m87020]

I don't speak korean but I watch a lot of kdramas and you sound so cool! Good luck with your classes I love your videos!

[@twisted_introvert]

The relatability in this video! I, too, cannot be bothered to style my thick hair. I think I use my blow dryer 20 times a year or less, and only if I have to shower right before bed or going out somewhere that matters. 😅 I've definitely gotten that "toe bones crossing" feeling before and I HATE IT. And finally, I, too, love a good peach tea. 🍑 That apple cake looked delicious! Hope the visa process went as smoothly as any bureaucratic rigamaroll can.

[@KateLee3]

i loved this one so much cari!! wish we could all share the apple cake haha 💓

[@caricakes]

I wish we could too hahah i still have some in my freezer 😂😂

Hehehee

[@Karoliina.]

👋🏻❤🇫🇮, apple cake🍏 & your hair😍. (I'm watching this at around 5 in the morning while eating breakfast. And this is because work starts at six.🙈)

[@magnolia2]

Your hair came out great but I did love the way layers look on you because they framed your face really nicely and it had a lot of volume and sass like the Little Mermaid. Now it looks like a straight cut making your roots appear less voluminous and too much bulk at the ends so it’s weighing your hair down. Again, it still came out nice but if you got layers, it would fix the bulky ends look. You should also consider getting a sleeping bonnet or scarf to cover your hair while you sleep. It prevents breakage, frizz, and even acne. Not that you have any. Have great skin, but when your hair gets longer if you wear a sleep bonnet you won’t feel the urge to run out and cut it. But it’s okay because it’ll grow back quick!😄 I’m totally trying that cake recipe btw. Looks delicious! Thanks! I’m excited for your fall vlogs. ♥️

[@caricakes]

thank you! yeah she didnt do the more obvious layers i asked for but oh well! thank you^^

Your hair looks fabulous! Even when you thought it didn't, it looked great. I'm rather jealous. Recently my hair just doesn't want to grow. I used to be able to grow down to my elbows now it stops just below my shoulders. I think it's because I've hit menopause. Belly grows, hair is not growing...freaking menopause. Now I've gotta go bake something because your apple cake looked delicious and I'm hungry. Take care!!

[@jinifer713]

I've been watching your vlogs even before the pandemic and it's just now that i realized that you looked like amy adams in enchanted with that hair 😁

[@dawnk8014]

너무 재밌게 잘 보고 있어요, love your hair and your improvement in Korean 😊 also love to watch you baking! I wish I could taste and critique your yummy looking apple cake 😋 wondering you can use air fryer instead of rice cooker for baking? I don’t have an air fryer to test for you 😅

[@ninamarie177]

It’s interesting to see the similarities between languages because whilst the Swedish and German words for quince and peach are spelled quite differently they sound fairly similar. I can access Rosetta Stone through my university and I really like it for learning vocabulary because once I start a lesson I usually study for an hour or so without distractions which I hardly do when studying on my own. Sometimes I have to use other resources to read up on grammar rules because I find it hard to figure out when to use which particle etc without someone telling me the concrete rules. I just got back from picking apples at my grandparent’s garden and wanted to make apple sauce out of them but I think I’ll give the cake recipe a go.

[@TheGenerations1]

I need to try some peach-flavored tea (have tried like southern style, but this kind)

[@dwarfgeant]

i usually use the juice maker, put away the juice and use the waste on the recipe... i also use a cup on the mw for about 3 min. i gonna try to make an apple cake. XOXO
