i just discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos when this one came out!! perfect timing! ❤ (you're my new fave youtuber now btw! i love your aesthetics blended in with a great personality, honest chats and a bit of social world issues discussion)

[@riikkainkeri432]

So proud to see you working with Bellesa!!! ❤

[@britmstone]

I agree with you and the hunger games! I actually don’t mind love triangles when done well, I like romance and the angst that ensues - mostly in K-dramas. BUT I was not for a romance for Katniss. I actually agreed with a lot of people that claimed she was asexual, which I resonated with, as an ace. I liked Peeta, but I just saw them as friends. And honestly, mockingjay ruined it for me when they got together in the end and had kids. Like especially when I first read the book and picked up on the line that Katniss said she did not want kids, but Peeta wanted them, so they had them. And I was totally put off from the series at that point. 😭😭😭

[@rex_robbin4026]

you should try yuja tea, it is a korean tea and has a natural sweetness to it combined with a lemon zesty flavor

[@CrystalPistal99]

Blessed with another long one! I'm so sorry your immediate future seems to be in limbo, I know that's stressful as hell. I just hope everything works out the way YOU want it to in the end ♥♥ I'm so sad the shop is going away indefinitely. But I know you have to do what you gotta do. Hope you and Rocky are well and I can't wait to see what kind of vibes you bring us from Belize! ♥♥ Happy Holidays, you will forever be my favorite youtuber and your channel deserves millions more subs. Your vibes are so intimate and healing. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Gratitude Galore!!!

[@pmjane]

thank you for been sharing your journey with us all these years, kat ♥ I wish I could be one of those people who able to buy your arts (I love your bookmarks!!), unfortunately the shipping cost too much since I'm too far awayyyy (and I can't believe it's been 2 years since you moved in your current apartment wow) love you! 🤍

[@amac0190]

Tea gorl here: check the temp and steep time. You might be making it bitter by accident. With that said tho some teas just suck no matter what you do. Could be a bad batch or just a bad mix of flavors. It happens.

[@avenginggoddess]

Katherine, your beautiful videos are a quiet point in a spinning world. There is so much going on globally that is beyond distressing (understatement), and it is so important for people to have mental respite from it all. Your videos add beauty to the world and provide a little of that respite. They are so meditative and gothic and just (chef's kiss). I just want you to know this.

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is definitely my favourite book of 2023! Love all the praise for it going around. Happy holidays ☺️

[@GoodFairyful]

Your videos always feel like spending time with a beloved friend 🤍

[@Anwar.AJ.]

I love watching your videos, I love the way your capture the moment and i love you choice of music.. sometimes i rewatch them.. thank you for putting too much effort into your videos I appreciate

[@faye3556]

I watch the hunger games on my iPad EVERY NIGHT, for some reason it soothes me to sleep hahah I clearly have unresolved issues x

[@elbellexx]

you uploaded this when i got my order! i’m so happy with the mystery bundle thank you

[@Thepearlescentdakini]

The necklace you made is so cute ! I always love the vibe of your vlogs

[@fillireads]

Thank you for that amazing video 😍I looooveee the charm you did for your sister. My sister would love that too. Happy holidays and take care.💕

[@dreamzy_night]

Plsss do a journal flip through of this year! The spreads u do are beautiful 💕

[@ridac5910]

hi kat, loved this video, it was so cozy and had the best aesthetic as always!! i think you'll really like indian chai, the easy way I use to make it is to add half a cup of milk, half a cup of water and an orange pekoe tea bag, along with your desired level of sugar to a pot and cook until its a rich brown color. i have this twice a day and love it 😊

[@doctorz1422]

My mystery bundle arrived! Love all the prints and the bookmarks❤❤❤ thank u sooo much for including the bookmark version of the print i really wanted

[@katherinekaras]

hopefully if i open it back up i can figure out larger shipping to the uk so sorry i couldn't send it then!! 🩵

[@user-uu9tj6lg3n]

Been waiting for a new video !it’s raining here in California perfect weather to watch your video .

[@nataschacieslok6212]

I love Bellesa, thank you !!!

[@thecreatorlaurenchi]

used to watch you years ago and now I’m hooked again. love your vibe and the vlog! the hunger games take was…interesting tho LMAOO

[@ariannebonacua6141]

Girlie try black tea, earl grey or English breakfast tea!! Brew for 5 minutes or till it’s dark, take out the tea bag then add hot frothed milk, you got yourself a homemade tea latte 🤍🤍🤍 As a tea girl, I HATE FLORAL TEAS PLS

[@shanelim6312]

@katherine karas can u do rings collection video next?

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

NOT THE TEA 😂😂

[@0lynn046]

You should try barley tea

[@LibertyIndiaRose]

As a scibd user it frustrates me sometimes, but honestly, i just wrote a comparative essay on it for a publishing MA and actually the way they pay publishers and authors is actually good! so i've decided i can't abandon it now 😂

[@britishrocketeer]

I'm sorry but the visceral discomfort of you trying that tea was so funny to me. But also same, I can do black tea with milk and sugar but those floral teas gross me out no matter how hard I try! If you don't wanna waste the bags you could see if turning it into a simple syrup might help - 1 cup sugar to 1 cup boiling water, steep four bags for four minutes, then let it boil without the bags for five minutes

[@kalasimsy2966]

I had the same feelings about ballad of songbirds and snakes, but i looooved the movie, so might read it now. also as a tea girlie, i beg you not to give up on tea, haha. I don't know what you have already tried, but since you like coffee and hot chocolate, i think you might like chai tea, cinnamon tea, milky oolong and maybe regular black tea with milk?

[@itsflowerside]

she said in a previous video that she doesn't like black tea, so that's out of the picture. i'm guessing the same goes for green tea. listen, i love her and am an avid watcher of her videos, i just don't understand why she's trying so hard to be a "tea girlie" when she clearly doesn't like it. like.... it's okay girl.

[@katherinekaras]

i might have said before but i'm trying out all these different teas because i want a warm drink for the evenings since i don't drink coffee at night and i've been having too much hot chocolates - i just want a nice lil warm drink !

[@KingaLoves]

My favvvvv tea blend is Earl Grey with lavender and steep for like 3 mins then add honey and cinnamon and oat creamer. It’s kind of extra lol but if souls had flavors this would be mine ❤️

[@zoltar__speaks]

that sounds so yummy i’m taking a screenshot for later use xD

[@kamilaencarnacion5533]

Focus really said Bye for a while ☠️

[@enaravaz]

omg my 2023 resolution was to be a tea girlie too and it's IMPOSSIBLE!! I'm trying to find a good sweet tea to try out (chocolate or something like that) but as of now no success

[@itsflowerside]

literally... why. it's okay if you don't like it?

[@enaravaz]

@@itsflowerside i know, i just want to try it out

[@Sthemingway]

Have you ever tried an earl grey latte? Starbux calls them ... London Fog. You *might* like it, but be sure to have a pastry of some kind whilst you try it. I used to drink a lot more tea when I was younger, but now (other than matcha lattes), I can only drink black, green, or brown tea when having oily food. Rocky is adorable.

[@swayzejess2869]

What brand is the dog collar & sweater?

[@katherinekaras]

collar is fritz and the sweater is ware the dog

[@zaczyt_annie]

Try black tea with the slice of lemon and sugar or honey, please. It's great, but I'm tea lover so I can be non-objective :).

[@joellen6105]

You are incredibly talented and bright - but what would your grandmother have thought about the product you advertised? Hope you think about it.

[@itsflowerside]

she would probably say "yesss honey, get that bag!"

[@seasonsofv]
