seoul vlog 📹 a week of my life in korea, cafes to read in, summer gardens, life updates

[@caricakes]

this was filmed over a weird bit of time in my life and looking at it now a lot of this feels cringey or obnoxious, mostly because i felt very outside myself while filming this, but i know im also my biggest critic so here's the vlog that im halfway proud of :')

[@Dreamer30190]

I don’t feel that at all ! Love the vlogs

[@lululand1653]

Cari you conveyed excellently the deeply felt, complex and human emotions and thoughts that so many of us are living with right now. Your speaking out about all the polarisation that has created such fear and hatred of "others" was so welcome, we need people to just express their humanity. With all the wars and destruction that is taking place on this planet I am so grateful to the students around the world who are standing up for those who have been silenced. It is such a crazy time and let me thank you for being so open about yourself and condolences for your loss of another precious person. We are all over-whelmed by the content we are seeing and yes we have found that carefully curating what we consume has been very helpful for the heart and mind and sleep. Sending much love to you and Kurt.

[@myriam8190]

We just want the real you, however you’re feeling. Not cringey or obnoxious at all. Take care of yourself ❤

[@alisonfraser8231]

As humans, we are greater than our beliefs. Otherwise, how is it that we change all the time. One of the greatest challenges of your generation has to do with treating these "signals" with too much importance. We are so much more than a shirt.

[@theo67-ft3yx]

I thought you were authentic and sharing your views, not trying to ram them down anyone else's throat (which I often find hard to do in this political climate). Please don't hold back - your words were good and insightful.

[@goddessnix444]

"maybe the purpose of life is to have a nice day" with the little bear got me in tears.

It's very brave to show such heartbreak to so many people. We all appreciate your humanness and vulnerability. I'm so sorry for your loss, Cari 💕

[@pendragon2012]

Your videos are the highlight of my weekend and I feel very confident you could never be obnoxious or cringey. You should be very proud of your products because you're one of the best vloggers I've ever seen. Thanks for everything, Cari! Hope you and Kurt are doing well!

[@caricakes]

Thank you always 🥹

[@autumn3.0]

I've been watching your vlogs consistently ever since I was 15, and I'm 21 now! No matter what content you put out, I will always watch and support you, and I'm sure many others will. No matter what level of vulnerability or "cringyness", we will always be here. We absolutely love you and what you create, and we're proud of you. I hope you and Kurt are doing well.

[@Merve77772]

Every Sunday morning, I make myself comfortable in bed and watch your new vlog. Personally, I love a good mixture out of walks, cafés, and you talking to us. Absolutely obsessed with your videos. They are so comforting

[@dianachamomile]

my husband as a photographer often sparks up conversation with people from all different walks of life and it is always so interesting that he can just- listen to them. their belief systems, what they care about, and even find similarities within those beliefs. we have more in common than we think. sadly a lot of people fall into darkness without realizing it thus creating more divisiveness.

[@lorranytrindade2]

I was actually in awe when Clarice's book poped up, I'm from Brazil and I know that she is a really well known writer but I never saw anyone outside my buble reading it! I hope you like it 🥰

[@midnightmara]

I always giggle when cari shows food because she typically does a few pans then a final shake of the drink/dessert/bowl. It is like a silent "Look at this! yum!" it's so characteristic of her vlogging style

[@Jenifa_Dosi]

Your videos come out at night for me, so the first thing in the morning on Sunday I watch your videos in bed (sometimes with a cup of coffee and my cat sleeping on my legs) and get so much needed positive energy for the whole day ❤

[@audreybrown4714]

I really applaud you for trying to expand your realm of understanding towards others because it's SO IMPORTANT 😭. Personally, I've been blankly rejected many a time for my opinions which really does hurt no matter which side you're on, and it is so prevalent nowadays that those with differing opinions automatically view you as bad which is AWFUL. Think for yourself, see the other side, and don't let stupid prejudice cause you to hurt others, or spread hate like it is doing way too much of right now

[@sleepy2557]

i was looking for something to watch while getting ready and this popped up! your vlogs always feel like hearing from a friend :)

Hi Cari, I first discovered u in 2020. I was 14 year old, alone in a foreign country due to covid, and not well mentally & physically. Your vlogs, your vulnerability and sincerity in front of the camera were such a stable source of comfort for me. Your vlogs made me realize that there is joy in small things in life. So thank you, and reserve some kindness for yourself for all the kindness you have given to us.

[@susanlee4402]

CARI! OMG! A few months back I went down the SAME rabbit hole watching that guy who travels around the US to random towns…and his Appalachia videos and the hollows! It was fascinating! It was all very new to me.

[@slouchingsomewhere]

The first 4 minutes of this video already relaxed me and I had to stop because I have to write and meet a deadline and I'm telling myself continuing this video will be my reward after I finish writing. Yes, that's me convincing myself. Thanks as always, Cari for a lovely start to Sunday.

[@olfaadouani9610]

We love you Cari the way you are!! With the ups and downs of life.. we love you in all your states. I will always root for you❤❤❤ thank you again and again for existing on this platform... May your coming days be filled with ease and peace 😊😊

Looking good, eating good food, going wherever she feels like. Life's looking good for Cari Cakes. ❤❤❤

[@katiea617]

Related to Appalachia, I recommend checking out “The Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek” if you’re interested in learning more about the history/culture from a historical fiction standpoint. It’s a really interesting, heartbreaking read.

[@Missathena918]

This vlog was so special. Thank you for sharing the pain you’re going through along side the beautiful day to day moments. I loved all those shots of the breeze or fan gently blowing things. It was so calm like a ghibli film. All the shots of the dog and his little paws 🥺

[@steelcutoaths3033]

I’m sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to move forward when it feels like everything should just stop. Take care of yourself and thank you for letting us see this glimpse beyond the usual of your life. ❤

[@anjaanja6448]

I am so glad you are taking care of yourself and taking a break when you need it. I still loved watching this vlog, I honestly love anything you put out!!

[@CassandraJoyOfficial]

I definitely think there's an importance in staying curious and gentle in regards to differing opinions. We're told to accept everyone, but I find when differing religions or politics enter the chat, that acceptance often stops. I think that's such a missed opportunity to be kind, to be curious, and to find a friend despite those differences. (One of my closest friends has an entirely different religion to mine, yet we're content to 'agree to disagree' and have been friends for nearly a decade). That's what I wish I saw happen more often with differing opinions. 💛

[@alidacap4683]

What a perfect Sunday morning I just had. Fresh croissants, lemon marmalade and a completely and totally lovely Cari cakes vlog! I hope that you have just as nice of a day when you're reading this. 🧡

My dad and I watch Peter Santenello’s videos frequently, we find them so insightful and educational on various areas and the people living there in the US that at times, I’ve never heard of (I’m from the UK). It’s literally our bonding time when we watch them😂 and we have interesting and sometimes quite deep conversations about the people he comes across and how they impact the places they’re living due to certain mindsets and morals.

[@johanafilms]

i do not write messages often but i decided to do it this time. cari, thank you so much for the light you put in this world, i am so grateful for your existence. the way you film your videos and your personality, puts me at ease. in a world that goes too fast, you are a breath of fresh air, thank you for that. 많은 사랑~ (1:59 kim namjoon ?)

I'm sorry for your loss, Cari. I hope the good memories of them last forever. Hugs to you and Kurt. It's sometimes so much worse when it's just out of the blue. I can sadly relate a little bit; I was scarily close to losing my mother unexpectedly right around this same time. (She's recovering nicely now.)

Cari, I'm so sorry for your & Kurt's loss and everyone else experiencing the grief.

[@lish_sunshine]

I so agree with what you are saying about trying to see the humanity in all people! People having differing opinions is not the problem, and everyone is absolutely entitled to their beliefs. The problem is when they stop talking and shut others down because they aren't open to a respectful conversation, and we lose that vital human connection. I wish people had more genuine, regulated discourse instead of hating on each other and seeing who can shout their opinions the loudest. Bad things happen when humans stop talking with each other.

[@larissaprates1384]

Hello cari ❤ Your new flat looks so pretty ❤ I think you could give it a more cute caffe vibe by hanging more pictures/ framed artwork and plants on shelves - that would be absolutely lovely Channels I could recommend to learns about different styles of living would be: Jona Jinton - a painter and silversmith who lives with there husband in northern Sweden ❤ I watch her for years and her videos are so sweet and relaxing

[@DarrenBritton-p6f]

Hey Cari! heads up that if your new apartment floor is laminate then you could end up damaging it with the steam mop, the TLDR is that any cleaning process that introduces a lot of moisture along the joints is not suitable for laminate flooring and can introduce warping/peeling. your flooring could be LVT though so just warning to check and be sure!

[@thisbookbelongstopam]

just on that bit about interacting with people with diff beliefs: one of the things i realized when i do actually talk to them is that a lot of people are just afraid for themselves (whether it’s being afraid of change, afraid of being told they’re wrong, etc) and that fear has taken root into something more vicious over time. It’s not always going to be pleasant interaction and I am also still working on it, but talking to them with that in mind has helped me a lot! Not to say I will go out of my way to be the “bigger person” but it does curb the kneejerk response of writing people off completely 😅

[@caricakes]

Yes!! So many things are reactionary and people lose the root meaning of what theyre saying so they dont even understand the depth of harm/hurt they are causing by supporting, for example, blue lives matter. With conversation we can understand each other better 🤍

Hour of the Star is one of those classic books you read in high school here in Brazil, so it's really cool seeing this. Here we also have that stereotype of people posting aesthetic pictures with her books but never really reading them, it's funny how that's something not exclusive to Brazil. I remember not really liking the book when I read it, but again, required reading in high school, so it's not really surprising. I should try and read it again now that it isn't homework anymore, Clarice has a really distinct writing style. Also, more brazilian author recommendations: Machado de Assis and Jorge Amado are also classics here and they're awesome. There's a ton more, but those are ones I really like and they probably have a lot of books translated to english.
