As an Introvert I enjoy lot's of quiet and alone time! It's needed for my mental health. This video was wonderful. The music fit in so well. You gave me some tips I can use in my downtime in the evening. Thank-you so much for posting!
What I love is that your approach to back to the basics skin care has been very good to my soul. I've not felt the urge to "keep up with the Sephora". I just love it.
In American society the extrovert is considered the most "normal" personality. It is great to see someone who embraces introversion and leads a fulfilling life. Your videos are so uplifting!
This came up in suggested videos and although I've been subscribed to your channel for several years, I missed this one when it was initially posted. I really enjoyed this video and would really love for you to revisit this topic from time-to-time. Thanks for this reminder.
Awwe Dr. Dray your vlogs are so wholesome. I am employed in a field where part of my job is teaching people with addiction disorders how to incorporate healthy routines into their lifestyle. This blog is a perfect example of that🤩
Thank you for sharing this side of your life. I don’t know if you have made a video on this, or perhaps you prefer to keep private, but I would love to hear about your journey into medicine and specifically into dermatology as a speciality (motivation, interests, steps taken to match, etc.). I’ve heard dermatology is one of the most competitive specialties to enter.
Being older having lived before the internet, I find it very hard to reconnect to my pre internet life ...this video made me recollect to a simpler time! thank you....I love a clean organized frig
I loved this video. It’s a little sad, but I enjoy so many of these simple tasks you talked about and sometimes I feel embarrassed when people ask me what I like to do in my free time and these types of things are my answer.
@Google User ooh, he was just trying to make a sale so he could make a commission. Shaming or leading people to fear they are missing out is a "successful" marketing technique. Unfortunately, many marketing techniques employ the use of shame and guilt to lighten your pockets. It wasn't personal or a reflection of you, more so a reflection on him who probably doesn't make a living wage outside of his commission. Did you ever find a flip phone? I was in the market for a new android about a year ago, and seem to recall they had a couple for sale at T Mobile.
A fast food chopstick is also handy for moisture meter. If the soil sticks to the stick then you’re good, if the stick is completed dry, then you need water 👍🏼
I really needed this video right now. I work an unreasonable number of hours each day, and have lately been trying to take back the reins, so to speak, on my evenings, getting back into a lot of the healthier habits you mention here and that I (used to! at one time!) enjoy immensely, e.g., handwriting correspondence, attending to my living space, and, you know, proper sleep? This was very inspiring and a very needful reminder. Thank you! 💜🙏🏻💜
One of my favorite videos ever...it was just what I needed after a long day. Rituals that keep your mind focused are so relaxing. Painting with watercolors and sketching are relaxing to me and reading before bed. I’m trying to get more than 5 hours a night and sometimes listen to the “calm” series of stories. Will have to try your cacao, Rose, almond milk drink...looks wonderful. So nice to see sponsors supporting you. Hugs...Sherry
I'm an introvert as well . When you said you didn't enjoy talking on the phone, yeah.....same here. Never have. I have kept a journal since 1976 . It's one way I unwind. Often I'll write in it after I get in bed.....& then read (a real book...not on a devise). I also enjoy cooking. I crochet which is meditative to me. This was a very enjoyable video. I agree about growing plants....it's satisfying.
What a wonderful video, thank you! I also peel ginger with a spoon, I’m not sure if you know but you can keep ginger in the freezer and simply peel/grate what you need when you need it without defrosting it. It lasts for such a long time that way. Thank you also for your tip about freezing bananas! Turmeric root also can be used/stored this way.
I love love handwritten letters too!!! I also am a huge bookworm that enjoys gardening, so I’m really loving this kind of video in addition to your regular skincare ones and would love to see more of your “lifestyle” videos! 🤗
I have a small space garden and I have had great success using self watering grow boxes, they can be found in most hardware stores and online. They take away any confusion on when to water since the soil wicks what it needs from a resevore. I used them living in NV as well as CA.
Living alone is my bliss. You should try the asparagus in the air fryer. 390° for 10 Min. Quick spray of olive oil. When done juice of half a lemon. Yum! Dr. Berg did a video on UA-cam today talking about how the sun does not give you skin cancer. I'm pretty sure I know your thoughts on that one
I find those lifestyle/self-care videos so relaxing, calming and enjoyable to watch... So good. One of the few ways I have to escape stress this summer. Thank you, dr. Dray. P.S. Greetings from Bulgaria. :)
Love all of your videos and really liked hearing what you do to unwind after your work day! I enjoy counted cross stitch. It helps me to ponder about things on my mind, get my thoughts straight (in silence) while being creative. After working and talking to clients all day in my esthetics/pedicuring practice, my alone time and the silence are welcomed and very sacred! Great video and thank you again for all that you share! You are inspiring to me Dr. Dray!!
Love your videos but this one is great. It was very calming just watching it with you speaking softly and the music in the background. Everything you mentioned makes sense. I'm going to start incorporating some of these suggestions into my life. Please do more. Thank you!
A physician, UA-camr, Vlogger, Cook, Gardner, Great Daughter and Letter Writer (in straight lines too!!)...you have many talents. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you! P.S. I use a potato peeler to peel ginger. I'm going to try the spoon!
Love this video! I have an internal office with no windows, so spending time outside is important for me - fresh air in my lungs and daylight in my peepers. I always cook from scratch and find it really calming, and the quality of meal is just so much better than any take-out or processed quickie meal. Lovely video!
I love your videos! I recommend assorted varieties of Basil for container gardening. There are several varieties and they grow nicely from seed. Mint is also easy to grow and will taste great with the rose nectar. Thanks for sharing your day with us!
The soup looked really yummy and probably pretty healthy too. I have started reading before bed again in the last few months. I think it calms my mind down and makes for a more restful sleep.
Just listening to you and watching your video with the soft spa like music on the background was very relaxing for me...Sending my Love and positive energy from Canada
I love the term "soldiers of hydration". Nothing like a clean and organized fridge. I'm old fashioned too by liking the feel of a real book in my hands. Have a great weekend Andrea.
Love the music you’ve been using in these types of vlog videos. I’m sure I can speak for many when I say this video was so relaxing to watch made me feel super zen.
I love how peacefully you live.. Unbothered and just enjoying your daily routine. I wish I can do that but unfortunately it never happens when you have kids around.. I can’t remember when I had a peaceful day and going on about my business.. Your video was soothing.. makes me realized we have to take care and enjoy ourselves more on a daily basis.
"here's my parsley hanging on strong" LMFAO I don't know why that made me giggle and feel like mmmm wish I could relate I can't keep my plants alive 😂😰
Will you do a smoothie recipe list? Maybe 3 smoothies that you enjoy making with ingredients and about how much would love to try what you were making :) oh and please 2 recipes you love cooking in your crockpot
Loved this, Dr Dray! I relax in very similar ways. I am definitely a home body and I find gardening, cooking and reading wonderful ways to de stress. I hate to think that the art of writing will one day be a thing of the past. Your fridge has inspired me to get working on mine. It's so satisfying to see a nice clean fridge! Thanks for sharing another glimpse into your life. Have a great evening!! 😃
You are so right to take the worry off self and get the mind on other things that one enjoys helps me relax..I do suffer from sleep deprivation and need to relax more and let the stress of the day go away by refocusing my thoughts and routines. Thank you.
Night time routine around here includes an early dinner around 430. Last night it was copper river salmon, spring asparagus risotto, and my absolute fave Honey Crisp apple! And a Reese’s peanut butter cup for dessert which was totally unplanned and I just need to STOP buying them!! Spent the rest of the evening cleaning out a storage space that’s on the kitchen balcony. I have 2 garages I rent for storage plus 2 storage spaces in my apartment, and I’ve decided I’m tired of spending money to keep things I haven’t even looked at in 15 + years! As per usual the cat lets me know at 9:30 it’s time for bed! (She literally sleeps in the bed, under the comforter, with her head on a pillow. I thought all cats did!) Bed comes after making sure everything is in its place. I even vacuum the rugs on balconies because I too love container gardening! And I have a vacuum that comes apart and every piece can be washed!!! Sorry, boring to some but I really love cleaning my vacuum! No shamers please lol. I have a lovely, soothing bedtime routine that involves water, gentle skin care, soft jammies, silk pillowcases and linen sheets. I turn on Vintage radio shows once in bed, and literally fall asleep visualizing my life goals.... asleep in 5 minutes. 😜 Crazy and wild nights NOT.
Dr Dray / Wow how FAB!! I don’t often run into fellow aficionados of Old Radio! Does your Mom enjoy it too? I am so nosy sometimes LoL. Feel free to ignore 🙈🙉🙊
Excellent video 💖 I’ve always been a gardener but recently, I’ve taken up crocheting again. I used to crochet all the time in my teens and now I’m not sure why I ever stopped! 🤷🏼♀️ I’ll be giving the Rose Nectar a try too. It sounds great!
This was great, not the usual recommendations about putting on face masks & chanting. Your points about using your hands in small repetitive movements and your eyes moving back and forth across a book's pages makes sense - not to mention avoiding the blue light!
The one hobby or anyjob for that matter that i never found boring is gardening! Those days my mom seeds a plant and make me the incharge ..nostalgia!✌✌
At the end of my evening, I like to watch one of your videos because of the way you speak, it helps me unwind. I find it relaxing when someone talks the way I think they would write.
Franzen is a birdwatcher. Caught a cbs sunday morning last year on him. Nature, music, reading , cooking/baking, dog play, knitting, movement. My list is endless. I so agree with focused tasks from simple to complex where one is engaged, to be at one with. If the task is too simple, the mind can wonder, if the task is too difficult the mind fears. Taking time for oneself is so critical in this life. And the beauty of a hand written letter received and given, is a lost art. I'm luddite all I can be, in this world, to not be a slave to tech...and that's not easy.
I relax and de-stress by watching Dr. Dray! Haha. You normally post your videos around the time that I am putting on my sunscreen and makeup in the morning. I love to listen to your videos in the background while I get ready for work!
Very nice video Dr. Dray. I am also not a fan of eating at restaurants. I love to cook my own healthy meals. I love to end my day with a healthy meal. A nice candle and some relaxing sounds.
Wow that soup looks wonderful and so.... healthy. And yes I love a clean refrigerator! I clean before every trip to grocer. Vinegar is the way to go when cleaning almost anything.
Hi Dr Dray, I totally agree with your recommendations about gardening, reading and writing to friends - all restorative!! Have you tried growing mint at home? It is very easy and can be rooted from cuttings in a glass of water. Worth a try!
Our family eye Doc Insisted that we get the new blue light filter for our glasses.So glad we did it.All three of us have them. My new phone and my Kindle have a filter now. I do miss a real book, but don't miss the clutter I had when I bought or went to the library. I read a lot, 1-2 books a week. I have a small shelf now with my hard back books I will keep forever. Jane Austin Leather collection book, Dickens collection book and Shirlock Holmes are a few I read every year. Love me some classics. 💗📚 I love cooking as well. I just bought an Insta Pot and it is a game changer. Making 2 soups on this snowy day⛄❄️ to freeze.
I got the rose nectar a while ago after watching one of your videos (I watch most of them). It is great mixed into Earl Grey tea or matcha tea. I also like baking with it. I have noticed there are a lot of good inspiring Afghan recipes that include rose flavor.
Oh 100% it’s eerie how monitored the comments obviously are, because there are literally no comments on it. I’m not gonna say the “a” word as she probably deletes any comments that contains it
I love this kind of video from you. Of course I love your shop with me, skin care routines, ingredient analysis, and vlogs as well. It would also be fun to see a clean with me or an organizational video too!
GIRL!!! I have been watching your videos off and on, here & there for a long time~ but I don't watch a LOT of youtube and I just went back and am starting at your first one and working my way forward to catch all the good stuff I have missed!!!! I am close to you Texas-wise~ we are about an hour and a half north east of you~ I too LOVE writing letters, clean fridges and organization/cleaning videos...as I am a natural organizer~~ who can work or focus with all that clutter around them?? !! Just wanted to tell you how much I love your channel and I think we are really best friends and didn't know it!! LOL! You have soooooo helped me through the maze of product/ advertising/ myths/ hype ~ love your advice, scientific explanations and down-to-earth humor and wit! I have gotten a lot of inspiration and clarity from these videos! Keep them coming and know how much we enjoy them and appreciate you imparting all your wisdom!
Hey Dr. Dray 💞 i just wanted to say that ive watched this video multiple times and it is so motivating and relaxing at the same time. Super helpful for my mental health 💞 so THANK YOU
What a lovely video of how you relax. It’s very so nice to see you enjoying your balcony gardening I think 🤔 there’s definitely a garden waiting for you one day to fill up more time for you to connect with nature, switching off and growing your own yummy veggies. Talking of writing I got your lovely reply card and it brightened my day for sure.... Thank you 🙏 Your video helped me relax lol 😂 I like switch off my going for a walk through near by woods and fields where I feel a connection with nature it’s really helps me to de stress and balance my mind. I also like the simple things like weeding in the garden or watering the plants and having a quiet time especially with my cat who 🐱 also brings me much joy she is currently sitting on my lap over a towel purring away and she follows me around the garden and house when she’s not sleeping on her heated cushion. It’s definitely the simple things that make the difference and help us relax where has the week gone again. See you soon 🥰😌🐶
The quality of your videos for the amount and frequency that you upload is unprecedented! You really love what you do and it shows. So inspiring! 🥰
thanks for watching :) hope you are having a great week
Absolutely agree with you Mitchell!!
💙💛❤️💚💜🧡
I agree Mitchell

You're a very special Soul Dr. Dray. You help everyone in more than one way. You are an Earth angel thank you so much for helping everyone
thanks!
Lol at how deep and wonderful this comment was versus her thnx! reply lol
You should do a video on book recommendations! Would be interested to hear the books you’ve been loving.
Yes to this please!
Yes, Please!!
I’m an introvert too. I get everything you are saying.
:)
What I love is that your approach to back to the basics skin care has been very good to my soul. I've not felt the urge to "keep up with the Sephora". I just love it.
Would you consider reviewing Glossier skincare?? Specifically interested in their hyaluronic acid serum
Watching this video really helped me disconnect from stress in my life
Your video calmed my anxiety and relaxed me 😊
gloria guzman glad to hear 💙

I understand and relate to your post BUT it is not sad!!! It is blessed simplicity and ppl who don't "get it" certainly don't matter anyway.
❤️ thank you for the perspective

Thank you for sharing that tip!
This is officially my favorite Dr. Dray video. I can’t believe how calmed and relaxed I feel after watching this. Thank you 🩷
This was so relaxing. I enjoy my solitude. I love to temporarily disconnect myself and recharge my batteries. Thanks, Dr. Dray!
Happy Thursday!
I really needed this video right now.

Dr. I am living in Bulgaria with my daughter who is studying Medicine here. So good to hear this.
What a wonderful video, thank you!

It lasts for such a long time that way. Thank you also for your tip about freezing bananas! Turmeric root also can be used/stored this way.
The way I unwind before bed is watching your videos; blue light be damned! Especially the ones with voice over I find really relaxing.
Great video Dr. Dray! I love my wind-down routine in the evening, the rituals/routines are so comforting.
thanks for watching
I love love handwritten letters too!!! I also am a huge bookworm that enjoys gardening, so I’m really loving this kind of video in addition to your regular skincare ones and would love to see more of your “lifestyle” videos! 🤗
As an introvert myself, I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you Dr Dray for all that you do. x
I have a small space garden and I have had great success using self watering grow boxes, they can be found in most hardware stores and online. They take away any confusion on when to water since the soil wicks what it needs from a resevore. I used them living in NV as well as CA.
Living alone is my bliss. You should try the asparagus in the air fryer. 390° for 10 Min. Quick spray of olive oil. When done juice of half a lemon. Yum! Dr. Berg did a video on UA-cam today talking about how the sun does not give you skin cancer. I'm pretty sure I know your thoughts on that one
For real? Is Dr.Berg an actual doctor? If so that is so disappointing
Katie Terwey dr. Berg is not an md. He’s a chiropractor. I’d love to hear dr.drays thoughts on dr. Bergs video.
I find those lifestyle/self-care videos so relaxing, calming and enjoyable to watch... So good. One of the few ways I have to escape stress this summer. Thank you, dr. Dray.
P.S. Greetings from Bulgaria. :)
My unwinding is watching you and another couple of gals on UA-cam ,sometimes reading ,sometimes Netflix.All alone sitting on my bed.
Phyllis Di Domenica 👍🏼hope you had a great day
Love all of your videos and really liked hearing what you do to unwind after your work day! I enjoy counted cross stitch. It helps me to ponder about things on my mind, get my thoughts straight (in silence) while being creative. After working and talking to clients all day in my esthetics/pedicuring practice, my alone time and the silence are welcomed and very sacred! Great video and thank you again for all that you share! You are inspiring to me Dr. Dray!!
Love your videos but this one is great. It was very calming just watching it with you speaking softly and the music in the background. Everything you mentioned makes sense. I'm going to start incorporating some of these suggestions into my life. Please do more. Thank you!
Rosann Supino thanks ❤️
A physician, UA-camr, Vlogger, Cook, Gardner, Great Daughter and Letter Writer (in straight lines too!!)...you have many talents. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you! P.S. I use a potato peeler to peel ginger. I'm going to try the spoon!
Yve Yve She’s a true Renaissance woman!
Love this video! I have an internal office with no windows, so spending time outside is important for me - fresh air in my lungs and daylight in my peepers. I always cook from scratch and find it really calming, and the quality of meal is just so much better than any take-out or processed quickie meal. Lovely video!
I would like to see more about your natural minimalist lifestyle
Off topic, but recently I've seen a few at-home total hair removal devices. I'd love to hear your thoughts! 🙂
YES PLEASE!
Oh yesss please...and also what is the best method to remove from all over the body? Specially on shaving face.
100th like
I have a question about avoiding blue light. Does the ‘warm light’ button on electric devices help to reduce the effect of blue light?
Doing some Dr Dray binging on a rainy day. Enjoyed the video, thank you!
I love your videos! I recommend assorted varieties of Basil for container gardening. There are several varieties and they grow nicely from seed. Mint is also easy to grow and will taste great with the rose nectar. Thanks for sharing your day with us!
Absolutley loved the aesthetic appeal of this video! Gorgeous and inspiring. Your life is so calming and peaceful. Thank you :)

You are so real and genuine. It is a breath of fresh air! I love watching your videos! Thank you!
I found this video to be very calming.......and you taught me how to cook fresh asparagus! Thanks! Rita
Hahaha same! Now I know how you steam asparagus! And the video was so relaxing I almost fell asleep

pure rose tastes so good, and thanks for sharing your afterwork routine.

I relax and de-stress by watching Dr. Dray! Haha. You normally post your videos around the time that I am putting on my sunscreen and makeup in the morning. I love to listen to your videos in the background while I get ready for work!
i love love your videos thank you for being you in all your videos it’s amazing and something not all youtubers do!💗
thanks for watching
Very nice video Dr. Dray. I am also not a fan of eating at restaurants. I love to cook my own healthy meals. I love to end my day with a healthy meal. A nice candle and some relaxing sounds.
You are such an inspiration!!! I also enjoy chopping vegetables
That is the cleanest fridge I have ever seen :) my mom would love you
I really enjoyed this and learned a lot. I certainly could use some tips. This was so calming to listen to, especially at bedtime. Thank you!
thanks for watching
Wow that soup looks wonderful and so.... healthy. And yes I love a clean refrigerator! I clean before every trip to grocer. Vinegar is the way to go when cleaning almost anything.
Your fridge is amazing. So minimal with just what you need for the week.
paintednightsky I try 🤪
Hi Dr Dray, I totally agree with your recommendations about gardening, reading and writing to friends - all restorative!! Have you tried growing mint at home? It is very easy and can be rooted from cuttings in a glass of water. Worth a try!
Happy Thursday Everyone!!
Happy Thursday, Jackie Hope you had a wonderful day!! 😊
@@marylawman8603 Thank You Mary I did!! I hope You enjoyed Your Day and Your Evening!!
Our family eye Doc Insisted that we get the new blue light filter for our glasses.So glad we did it.All three of us have them. My new phone and my Kindle have a filter now. I do miss a real book, but don't miss the clutter I had when I bought or went to the library. I read a lot, 1-2 books a week. I have a small shelf now with my hard back books I will keep forever. Jane Austin Leather collection book, Dickens collection book and Shirlock Holmes are a few I read every year. Love me some classics. 💗📚
I love cooking as well. I just bought an Insta Pot and it is a game changer. Making 2 soups on this snowy day⛄❄️ to freeze.
I got the rose nectar a while ago after watching one of your videos (I watch most of them). It is great mixed into Earl Grey tea or matcha tea. I also like baking with it. I have noticed there are a lot of good inspiring Afghan recipes that include rose flavor.
Some pro anna vibes going on in here. Some people would love this.
Heather Meredith it’s super disturbing
Oh 100% it’s eerie how monitored the comments obviously are, because there are literally no comments on it. I’m not gonna say the “a” word as she probably deletes any comments that contains it
It makes me sad because she’s really fun and talented. I hope she gets help.
I have been picking up on this too.
agreed, plus everything seems to be all about order, routine, control (not just in this video but most of hers).
This video was so relaxing. Thank you for sharing your night time routine--reading is always a must before bed. Your clean frig has inspired me !
I love this kind of video from you. Of course I love your shop with me, skin care routines, ingredient analysis, and vlogs as well. It would also be fun to see a clean with me or an organizational video too!
Thanks!
GIRL!!! I have been watching your videos off and on, here & there for a long time~ but I don't watch a LOT of youtube and I just went back and am starting at your first one and working my way forward to catch all the good stuff I have missed!!!! I am close to you Texas-wise~ we are about an hour and a half north east of you~ I too LOVE writing letters, clean fridges and organization/cleaning videos...as I am a natural organizer~~ who can work or focus with all that clutter around them?? !! Just wanted to tell you how much I love your channel and I think we are really best friends and didn't know it!! LOL! You have soooooo helped me through the maze of product/ advertising/ myths/ hype ~ love your advice, scientific explanations and down-to-earth humor and wit! I have gotten a lot of inspiration and clarity from these videos! Keep them coming and know how much we enjoy them and appreciate you imparting all your wisdom!
thanks for watching
Your editing skills are spot on! You have come such a long way here on YT....keep up the great work. We appreciate you so much!!
SB 13 thanks 💙
Happy Thursday Dr.Dray!!
You’re so productive I love it!!!!
I forget to take care of myself a lot of the time and this reminds me of how important it is for not only our mental health, but also our skin health!
I love hand written letters. In the past, people would fall in love this way. Thank you for this great video.
Hey Dr. Dray 💞 i just wanted to say that ive watched this video multiple times and it is so motivating and relaxing at the same time. Super helpful for my mental health 💞 so THANK YOU
This video was incredibly relaxing to watch, I am hoping you do more like this in the future! 😊
Amanda G thanks for watching 💙
What a lovely video of how you relax. It’s very so nice to see you enjoying your balcony gardening I think 🤔 there’s definitely a garden waiting for you one day to fill up more time for you to connect with nature, switching off and growing your own yummy veggies.
Talking of writing I got your lovely reply card and it brightened my day for sure.... Thank you 🙏 Your video helped me relax lol 😂
I like switch off my going for a walk through near by woods and fields where I feel a connection with nature it’s really helps me to de stress and balance my mind. I also like the simple things like weeding in the garden or watering the plants and having a quiet time especially with my cat who 🐱 also brings me much joy she is currently sitting on my lap over a towel purring away and she follows me around the garden and house when she’s not sleeping on her heated cushion. It’s definitely the simple things that make the difference and help us relax where has the week gone again. See you soon 🥰😌🐶
Love all your videos, very informative
thanks!
Hi dr Dray. Really enjoyed! Very calming video!
Your hand writing is so beautiful 💜
