Your hair looks great Ciska 🤗 Your navy jacket suits you really well. And girl, no matter how much i try, bannanas with egg sounds super strange to me
Thank you for the compliment 😊 Do you like grilled banana’s, because I think that is why I love it (fun fact I can’t eat bananas if they are not grilled or warm)
@@basicallyciska Now that i think about it, i never tried grilled bananas, i should give it a try first
Love the vlog! It is so brave of you guys to go off and live in another country and make a life for yourselves! It makes going home so much sweeter. Hope you have many more trips back to SA. It looks like a beautiful place!
Thank you for the kind words - we miss home so much 🇿🇦
I love the green jacket! Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Wow all the way from Argentina! Welcome bestie!
ag lekker, mis al dai dingetjies ook. Deel jou ma se hoeder marinade resep as jy mag. Dit lyk heerlik :)
Stuur my ‘n DM op instagram dan kan ek met jou deel as Mamma toestemming gee - ek hoop jy kan al die bestandele kry though 😊
@@basicallyciska ek maak so
Hi manemis alesa thanks for video 😊 enjoy your evening and videos
lovely vlog as always! Enjoy your vacation to to fullest! ♥♥
Thank you so much!! I’m having a lot of fun!
Love it! ❤
Nice vlog Ciska, enjoy your deserved vacation! 😊
Thank you Ivana 😊 I’m having the best time so far
Hi I am Ayesha akther A professional digital marketer and youtube expert. I analisis your UA-cam channel.i see you uploaded Huge amount video .but you don't have enough views and subscribers for some issues.can i share with you?
🙏🏻❤️Oupa❤🙏🏻
Those meatballs turned out great, at least by the looks of it😋. I was thinking about trying hellofresh too but im unsure if its worth it
I only use it if the recipe is good and if I get into a rut of recipe ideas. Sometimes it is worth it other times not 😊 Try it and see what you think. 💭
We eat a lot of the same dinners. It is what you want. I try to do two healthy meals and then easy meal, depends on the week. You are doing great!❤
Thank you ❤️✌🏼 I appreciate your comment
Love Spokie!❤
She is the best ❤️🥹
Nice video 😊 where are you from
Hey, I’m from South Africa but currently living in Germany.
Lovely vlog as always! Never miss one ❤
Ah thank you for the support ❤️🥰
Great JOB ❤
Thank you!
Hello from Montréal Canada. On my pancakes i put banana and maple sirup.
Hi 👋🏼 that sounds lovely, do you grill the bananas or do you eat them fresh?
@@basicallyciska Hi, I eat it fresh.
Ons het n 2de handse kar gekoop 5 jaar terug vir 600 euros in NL, ons ry hom nou nog lol. Vat amper nooit bus.
Dis op ons spaarplan vir binnekort. Ek is moeg trein gery 😊
I loved the vlog as always😊, i never miss it. I just moved to north germany and i am loving the weather here since its much colder then in Croatia. And yes, i am still, in my grown age, a little bit scared of really loud thunders 😅
I recognise your name in the comments every week 🥰 I’m very scared of thunder when the windows are open but I used to be much worse back in SA. Think the constant exposure to thunderstorms helped me heal 🤫
@@basicallyciska Loud thunders when the lights go out in the evening might just be my personal nightmare
Nice 🤩
Thanks 🤗
Great vlog❤ I’m new here and loving it 🥳❤
Hi new friend 👋🏼 welcome to the channel! I hope you’ll enjoy following along in my journey 😊
Immediately smiled and hit like when you called us besties 🥰
I’m glad you liked the personal touch ❤️🫰🏼
Ek hou ook altyd die winkel glas pudiing cups hehe :)
Dit werk so lekker 😊 vanaand die laaste mousse geëet.
Nothing beats a nostalgia meal 😍
Right!! 😉
I cant wait
I’m glad you are so excited 😊
nice sharing, love from Bangladesh
Many many thanks
Oh nice, so cool to see you in Germany! That's my home country :) I moved to Japan with my husband last year, so sometimes I miss my home, but you take me there with you in your vlogs haha!
Do you enjoy living in Japan? I would love to visit once in my lifetime 🇯🇵
@@basicallyciska It's great living here! Of course I miss my home country some days, but the people here are super nice and friendly, it's easy to live in Japan (well, bureaucracy can be a tough thing sometimes, but the staff is always helpful and trying their best!) - and of course, the food is great! That's why I want to transport my experiences through my vlogs ☺
Satisfied watching coffee from machine
So glad it is not just me. I always stare at the pour ☕️
Thanks for the recipe it look so yummy i will try it ❤
It was really good. Will definitely add to the recipe arsenal 😊 Let me know when you make it 🤔
You already know I loved the vlog 🤗 I really enjoy grocery hauls. I was wandering, do you speak German? you need it to teach right?
Thank you for watching. I do not need German to teach as I am at an English school but I do have my B1 Zertifikat to speak it sortof. I’m not very good at German
@@basicallyciska Okay that's good. I thought you had to learn German really good to find a job. I hope you manage all your tasks, more or less, stress free, and I'm looking forward to the next vlog!
Nice
I love your vlogs❤
I’m so glad to hear that. 🫰🏼 thank you for tuning in
Hi❤
Hellooooo 😊
haha those banana muffins look so good though! really enjoyed the vlog <3
They needed a bit of sugar. But they weren’t so bad 😉 thank you for tuning into the vlog this week 🫰🏼
Great video! Love when you show your groceries! Our kids have been out of school a whole month now. Some go all year round so they only have a couple more weeks of summer break!🙁 Have some fun this summer and get lots of rest and liquids!!!😊
Thank you - wow we only go on summer break 2nd week of August 🥹
Loved the vlog as always 🤗 Here in Croatia kids have vacation one week in June and then whole July and August
Wow! Should I move to Croatia 😉
Lovely relaxing vlog ✨
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🫰🏼
love how relaxing your videos are with all the asmr sounds hehe <3
I’m so glad you love it 😊 it’s the whole reason I make them 😊
Best vlogs on UA-cam ❤
Ah thank you! This means so much!
Love your vlogs! They help me relax after a long day! ❤❤
I love that!
Which store do you prefer? Rewe, Aldi, Lidl..?
I prefer REWE at the moment because it is the closest store. But I like Lidl over Aldi (the Lidl closest to me had South African meats 😉)
I think everyone has meals that they do regularly, because well - life happens and choosing a new recipe is so demanding haha. the opening scenery was so pretty! <3
So true! The scenery now is just so beautiful. It rained a lot and everything is so green. I love it! 🥰
Girl, it is completely okay to have a few meals that you rotate. Especially if they are meals you love. When you feel like it and have more enegry, you can try a new recipe. I like gnocchi with muchrooms, Just fry some onions and mushrooms and then add some cream or if you are like me and dont like cream, add mushroom soup package mixed with water and when its done just add cooked gnocchi. Super tasty! loved the haul, loved the vlog as always. Bis next sunday 🤗
this was so calming to watch! <3
Thank you for watching! ❤️ I’m so glad it can bring calmness to you.
I just gotta say that I loved all the asmr sounds hehe. loved the vlog!
Yay! Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog ❤️
Eier Milch Zimt Vanilla SpeiseStärke Gemischt Und Dann Brot Sehr Lecker 😋
That sounds heavenly!
Another great vlog, and love the shopping hauls! Also love how the mug turned out, it is perfect for spring and summer coming up 🤗
Thanks so much! 😊 I’m so happy with the mug! My husband keeps “borrowing” it
Gaan Germany toe vir my eerste keer!..Nog net 2 weeke :) Gladnie koud hier in NL nie...kry warm. Meeste venters altyd oop
Ek hoop vir goeie weer as julle kom. Dit netnou weer so lekker gedonderweer. Die lente hier is erg bipolar 👀👀
I loved you’re pottery Painting , and I love the grocery hauls it’s like an Asmr 😍👏🏽. ‘’Have to take the lettuce off’’ 12:01 😂
Thank you so much! I enjoy recording these hauls soooooo much. And I’m so glad you caught the joke 😉
