It makes me mad and sad that Maria received disturbing packages. She's such a wonderful person, anyone disrespecting her like that makes me very angry. Maria, if you ever read this, you mean a lot to a lot of people, you sooth my severe anxiety and solve my insomnia, and that's the most important thing to me. I'm sorry you have to go through any hate and creepy people, love. :(
I'm really sorry you have to go through all the negative things you do. I'm embarrassed that anyone would take your kindness as a chance to send hateful things to you. They've ruined it for everyone who absolutely is grateful for you. You've helped my anxiety and insomnia so much, and I feel so sad when I see you upset, and I know you're a perfectionist and take things to heart, and I just want you to know that you're loved, and so many people appreciate everything you do. You're a bright light and I hope you don't let people cover it, ever.
I think a good video question could be how you stay so positive and kind in this rude hateful world. You always seem so happy and full of life and positivity
She spends time each day being grateful for things. I think ten minutes? She writes things down or says them out loud. That would probably be a good place to start. Maria is lovely.
HOW DARE ANYONE SEND YOU ANYTHING THAT ISN'T ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. I've been collecting things I have wanted to send to you for months. Why do awful people ruin it for the rest of us? We love you Maria! I'm sorry people have not been nice to you.
you bring so much peace in to my life, that i dont really understand how someone would take the time to send you something disturbing. I will be forever thankful for all your effort, dedication and love that you put in to your videos. Really, thank you so much.
Maria, I absolutely loved your "random video" as you called it where you just talk about self development and self discovery.. You are such a smart and 'thinking' person, I love those sort of topics so if you liked talking about that please share your thoughts with us! Love from Sweden
Maria, I am impressed that you are able to stay so positive and grounded even though you experience weird things like improper packages. I love how you are able to not lose hope on people. It can be easy to focus on the negative and let it cloud your world view. So great job for that! Hugs!!
A few ideas for videos: 1. Health & fitness tips... Products and foods and exercises you've tried and love or dislike. 2. Diy crafts...trying something on Pinterest you've maybe always wanted to try? 3. Your favorite things about the cities you've visited in or lived in. 4. The biggest difference between living where you live now and where you grew up. 5. Gardening & plant care. 6. Your favorite childhood shows or 90's trends. 7. If you had to only save one item from your home you'd pick.... Or take an item on a deserted island etc etc 8. Jobs you've had. Best / worst 9. Family traditions 10. Favorite music right now
Hey Maria, I would love if you would talk about spirituality, the zodiac signs, how to live your life in a better way, how to stay positive and optimistic. Thank you for all you`re doing!
It completely baffles me that someone would go out of their way and spend money to send someone something negative. In regards to talks, I'd love to hear about how you deal with working from home. Keeping a schedule, loneliness, etc. It's something I've been doing for the last couple months and I'm struggling a little bit. Thanks Maria!
I love how this channel shows how much work goes into your role play! I would love you to talk about mental health and wellbeing and specifically how you balance being realistic and informed about the world but also remaining happy and optimistic
YES PLEASE DO A VIDEO WITH THAT PURSE! I know you have an older video of it but the up close sounds are different sounding and I really really like it :)
Hi Maria! I'm so sorry that you received unpleasant packages. That is awful! Thanks for sticking around and staying positive despite it. You brighten the lives of so many! I'd love to hear you talk about some of the cultural differences you've noticed between living in Russia and the US. I have friends who are expats from various places, and I always think it is so interesting to hear them compare the cultural dynamics between countries. I love these casual vlogs that you do. It feels like chatting with a friend! ❤
I would also like to see this type of video 😊 I'm really interested in cultural differences and some of the things you found difficult when you first moved & also the pleasant experiences! xx
I like that ring. My FAVORITE video so far is the one you took us to that neat store to jewelry shop with you!! And your voice was so nice!! If you could do more like that, it would be awesome!! Love you!
I loved the old white noise video you did a while ago with the dark background and very slow movements. I would love another one of those! And I had the most tingles when you blew the melted scents from the warmer all around. It was amazing!
Maria, my heart. You're one of the most kind hearted people I've ever been exposed to. Even though I've never met you, I feel like the little pieces of consideration for others that come through in your videos is enough to inspire me forever. You're apologetic for absolutely everything, because you consider everyone THAT much. Any kind of insecurity or vulnerability you share is so, so, wonderful. I hope that you find reminders of this in people who cherish you. I'm sorry to hear about your PO box. Why do people ruin it for everyone? Also one final thing, I believe we are similar in age, and I've also struggled with hormonal and cystic acne... I still do - BUT I have some helpful pieces of advice from my naturopath that is outside of pharmaceuticals. Not a fan of pills either. Anyway. Love you ❤️
I would love to hear more about your crystals and how you believe they've helped you and things of that nature. I find it so interesting!! And I'm also sorry you received some not so nice things in your PO box, I'll never understand why people take their time just to do things like that. It's really sad. You're a beautiful person, and even without knowing you, that shines through in your videos. Keep being you and doing great work on your ASMR channel and here, getting to see more of your life other than just ASMR videos is really wonderful!
stay off of birth control!!! that stuff is horrible maria!!! especially if you want kids ever? just clean your face and smile your gorgeous birth control is horrible and messes people up bad gl.
You could talk about healthy eating, russian cooking, crystals and their benefits, any meditations you might recommend, your past travels or the places you would like to go to, relationships and how to make them work, getting through hard times and trying to keep a positive outlook, peer pressure or trying to fit in for adults or teens. Hope this helps!! :D
I know! That one about the borscht, salads, gingerbread and meringues is one of my faves! I know someone who makes the Polish veggie version of the Olivie salad, it's delicious! I think I would like to see a vid of how to make the borscht.
I love you Maria. You are such a hard working youtuber. You seriously take your time to make videos and communicate with your viewers. I suggestion you to tell us basically everything about you, like your childhood, your hobbies, places you have been, places you want to go, your favourite food, etc Btw,I have been depressed lately and your videos have helped a lot. Your voice is extremely soothing and I love every single video!
I love these talks!! I would love to hear more about your favorite healthy recipes or foods you like to eat/snack on that help you keep your weight down or ones that you just enjoy. I also think a talk on hair, beauty or health products would be interesting. Even all natural diy type beauty projects. I loved your inspiring messages and talk after you saw the TED talks. Maybe how to find our passions and how to follow our dreams. I like your talks on how you meditate and relax. Even nail care info and how you take care of them, even a tutorial. I always feel like I learn so much from your channels. Any talk or conversation is a benefit to me!!
What a thoughtful package for Ashley, I love her videos and am looking forward to watching this one! Hope you are not too lonely cooped up creating all these lovely things for us - I know I can go a bit stir-crazy in that situation! Sometimes it can help to go to the gym or to adult learning classes (languages, new skills etc) to get a bit of interaction and structure into your day. Just know that we appreciate you so much! xxx
Oh one more thing with regards to the acne - I have had exactly the same sort of thing, usually a seasonal peak when the weather changes. Deep under the skin and very painful :( Trying out new types of birth control can REALLY help - I used Dianette for 2 years (they wouldn't let me use it any longer), and it cleared me right up. Now I only get the occasional flare-up. And the other thing is (I know it's hard), but DON"T TOUCH YOUR FACE! It's so easy to pick, and it doesn't do any good at all. Much love! x
Hi Maria, I'm a long time fan! Your work is some of the most relaxing stuff out there :) I love lists and listening to people read out lists. If you could incorporate lists into one of your future videos that would be awesome! Have a great day.
I absolutely love your crystal videos! It's something that is quite new for me so i've learnt a lot by watching your videos. I know you've done a cleansing one lately, but maybe you could do something (anything really, I'm still learning) about crystal grids or the significance of different stones/crystals? Would love to see your collection!
You have such an amazing natural beauty. I love the vlogs like this where you don't wear make-up or very very little make-up (just enough to cover the acne. Just because you have acne doesn't make you any less beautiful). You are absolutely stunning both inside and out. Your boyfriend is the luckiest man on earth.
Changing to a vegan diet has completely cleared up my hormonal acne around my jaw line. It did take 6 months for it to completely clear up, but I have been struggling with minor acne for 8 years and I was so happy with the result that I've had just from eating differently. I hear ya though sister, it is a crappy issue to deal with. You're such a beautiful woman though, never forget that.
That is such a shame that you had to close the PO box, the fact that anyone would send you rude things is just sad. I know ASMR community is mostly full of lovely people, but I suppose that when you have as many followers as you do you are bound to attract some whackos. I hope some of the negativity stops!
swedish girl I think Maria is far too nice to do something like that. What would that gain? Its not kind, and it will not solve the problem. I think she is doing the wisest thing by pulling the PO box. Perhaps she will open it again another time.
You know what would be really cool? You doing like a gift bag tutorial. I think it'll be super informative and relaxing. Your gift bag was super adorable and i think it'll be super fun to see the process! Thanks for the videos! They're great
Maria, I would love to hear more about your family. If you're comfortable with sharing anything about them. Maybe stuff about your childhood growing up in Russia or some silly traditions your family had/has. Love you!!
I think it's really sad that certain individuals have to ruin the fun of you receiving gifts by being childish and sending disturbing and unkind things.
Hi Maria! I have been watching your asmr videos for 2 years now and am so glad you have this channel as well!! Watching any of your videos makes my day :) Can you do monthly favorites/unfavorites videos each month? I love those videos, hearing about new products or even shows. I also like videos about peoples fears/phobias or even pet peeves. Another idea is to have a q&a video. Take care!
Hi Maria, I had the same problem with hormonal acne when I was your age. It's very normal and kudos to you for not being afraid to share it. The only thing that works for my hormonal acne is making sure I get at least 8 cups of water a day and usually a good deal more than that. It helps to calm things down from the inside out! Good luck!
i really get more tingles with this channel than your asmr channel. i guess the tone of your voice and the simplicity and detail you put into explaining some things!:)
I am so sorry people sent you negative packages! it always surprises me how awful some people can be. thanks for sticking with your videos!!! love you and both ur channels!! ♡♡♡♡
I love your nails so much, they go pretty well with your ring!! Thanks for sharing all of the amazing videos you do. You’re are very sweet, smart and a great person. Thank you for making my nights softer. ❤️
I have an idea for a talk segment! Maria, I find that one of your strengths is maintaining a wonderfully upbeat and positive attitude. One thing that certainly plays into that is finding time to connect with ourselves, even in the midst of busy schedules. How do you center yourself? What do you recommend as a good way to connect with ourselves and tune in to what's really taking place inside ourselves and away from the more superficial aspects of life?
I struggled with horrible acne for 10 years until I discovered something that really helped me - checking all my makeup ingredients to make sure they aren't hurting my skin. I copy and paste all my makeup ingredients into a comedogenic ingredient checker to make sure there's nothing harmful. You'd be surprised how many products that claim to be non- comedogenic or made for sensitive skin actually have super harmful ingredients. Once I changed all my makeup/skincare products, I noticed a huge difference. Hopefully this can be a helpful tip 😊 I also wanted to say that I've been watching your ASMR videos for three years now, and they've helped me immensely! Thank you for everything that you do Maria!
I recognize the loneliness you van experience. Good for you that you go out and surround yourself in a diverent emvironement with people :) I work 4-5 days at an office but I stil get lonely because I haven't made much friends here. But than I can watch your video. I just wanted to tell you that I al very thankful for your video's, on your main channel as well on this channel. It gives me comfort and love. Much love back to you from Holland and again thank you so much xox
I am an art history major in college and it would be so cool if you did a visual analysis of a work of art. Visual/formal analyses talk about aspects of a work and what they mean or communicate to the viewer. You also talk about iconography or symbols in the work and even the historical context. I can imagine it being so soothing to hear you talk about a work and pointing out things in it :)
i'm sorry to hear that people have been sending you bad stuff, and you should not feel bad about your acne, you look amazing! Sending tons of love and good vibes from Denmark
I would LOVE to see a video with tips on how you stay productive and inspired when you create. You always seem so organize with your creative process. It would be awesome if you could share how you go about it! :)
You are so positive and happy all of the time it seems. What is your secret? I just love your personality. I struggle with panic attacks and your other channel helps me with that so much. I want to thank you for that, really thank you! I wish I could give something back to you for the relief you have given me!! Thank you Ms Maria, you are the best!!!
Maria, I work from home just like you do, and get lonely as well. I find it hard to even get the motivation to go out and interact with people at times. I feel your pain and actually cried with you on the vlog when you were crying about being lonely. I feel like we are so similar, in so many way. I just want to thank you for being a friend, even if you don't know the comfort you bring to me. You are silly, which I absolutely love, because I am too lol. Just know that there is a girly girl out there just like you feeling the same way...thanks for both of your channels. You're wonderful!
I have suffered with an e since I was 8. I am now in my early 30's and only within the last 4 years have I found something that truly helped and didn't harm my skin. I have tried everything too. The only thing that works for my skin, note that I said my skin because everyone's skin is unique and should be treated that way, is peroxide as a toner, 100% natural soap, coconut oil with tea tree oil and lavender for a moisturizer. I have hormonal acne too and extremely oily skin. I have admired your skin so often and thought of how you get it to be so smooth and clear. I understand your struggle. I hope you can try my suggestions and they help! You are so lovely inside and out!
Maria, I would love to hear your opinion on astrology, maybe you could talk about your placements, thoughts, experiences etc. (I'm a huge astrology nerd!) Also, I would love to see a video of some sort dedicated to handwriting, maybe writing letters/notes or something of that nature. Your handwriting is so beautiful, and I am someone who loves writing, and the sound of pencil (or pen) on paper. Sending warm wishes your way, I hope everything is going well in your life ❤
Hello Maria!! I just want to tell you that you are the best ASMR artist ever, and I love you so much. Don't listen to those who hate on you, pity them because they have hate in their lives. No one gives what they don't have, they don't have love, they don't give it. You on the other hand give much much love to all of us, and I really appreciate that. You are the best❤️❤️❤️
I'm SO glad you spoke about hormonal acne around your 30s! The past few years since I turned 30 I have horrible hormonal acne. I've tried EVERYTHING!!! It's so embarrassing and it leaves me with big welts on my face sometimes. My doctor told me to take some birth control too but I've been trying anything else because I just don't want to do that anymore. I think I'm going to have to just for a little bit because girl I can't keep single handedly keeping the concealer makeup manufactures in business like this lol! I'd love to hear you talk more about foods you like. Russian foods, natural foods. Anything like that. Or maybe talk about shopping you always have the cutest purses and things in general. 😁
Hi, Maria! I have been watching your videos since the beginning. When my mom was diagnosed with MS many years ago, your videos helped me to cope. Now I am 25 and battling my own chronic illnesses, and sadly one of the side effects of it is panic attacks. I watch your videos at night to help me sleep or when I get the day off to relax, but when I'm at work and dealing with my anxiety the most I am unable to. :/ I was wondering if perhaps you could do a video on managing anxiety naturally? I imagine a lot of people could benefit from it, not just myself. Thank you for all that you do! Your videos have improved my life more than you know. Sending you love and happiness!♡
*I really like this Argan rain oil because it comes with everything you need for a healthy skin. My acne scars cleared up completely. I recommend you use it for acne problems.*
I'd love to hear about your day to day life, and your thoughts on health - food, exercise, mental well being, ect. I find when you do talk about it it's so inspiring!
A quasi-collab video with Ashlie?! YAYYYY! My two favorites and really the only two ASMR channels I watch. Thank you! I found you through her channel and she was the first ASMR artist I discovered.
I'm so sorry Maria that you are going through this! Having acne is hard and embarrassing, and I know what it's like because I'm 17 and I have had acne for the past 4 years. I had big, giant cycts on my cheeks that were so embarrassing, especially at school, because I wanted to put a paper bag over my head because people would look at my face a lot. (Even when I wore makeup to cover it, you could still see them). I finally was put on Accutane from my dermatologist and I finished taking it last month and it wiped out all my acne on my face! I have acne scars left on my cheeks and I have to wait a few months for them to clear up naturally, but I hope that you get through this as peacefully as you can, and just know that a lot of us understand your situation and we love you so much. 💕😊
Maria you truly possess a gift and pureness and I thank you for being so generous in sharing parts it. In terms of requests... I loved your videos when you read some of your favorite recipes/cook books & bed time stories (3d book) but I want more :) + I'd love another tailor/styling video but this time targeting a superwoman? Thank you for helping me unwind in this hectic world.
gosh.. I hate that people take advantage of your kindness, please understand that so so many of us adore you and you mean a lot to us! I really hope you don't let those horrible people get to you ;-; stay strong Maria, we all love you ^.^
I've had struggles with hormonal acne, and the best thing I've found is Lush products--Angels on Bare Skin scrub, Tea Tree Water, and Vanishing Cream. The winter is awful on my skin and it has helped scars and monthly breakouts! They're expensive but 100% worth it. Might be a good alternative and could quicken the gap between when the birth control kicks in and starts helping--I know you appreciate natural products! (I don't work for them or anything--I just felt like I'd tried everything and then discovered these Lush products and fell totally in love).
Oooh I agree... that nail polish is soo pretty! I work from home, too - I should try getting out like this! I love Ashley! I can't wait to see her make this video. You put together such a beautiful package for her.
I love your nails and I love hearing your opinion :) I've had the same exact acne problem, so I feel your pain and thank you for sharing. I would love to hear about what books you are reading, what shows you are watching, what music you are listening to- stuff like that. Thanks for everything Maria!
It makes me mad and sad that Maria received disturbing packages. She's such a wonderful person, anyone disrespecting her like that makes me very angry. Maria, if you ever read this, you mean a lot to a lot of people, you sooth my severe anxiety and solve my insomnia, and that's the most important thing to me. I'm sorry you have to go through any hate and creepy people, love. :(
^THIS
I support this comment 100% your amazing Maria we love you.
I'm really sorry you have to go through all the negative things you do. I'm embarrassed that anyone would take your kindness as a chance to send hateful things to you. They've ruined it for everyone who absolutely is grateful for you.
You've helped my anxiety and insomnia so much, and I feel so sad when I see you upset, and I know you're a perfectionist and take things to heart, and I just want you to know that you're loved, and so many people appreciate everything you do. You're a bright light and I hope you don't let people cover it, ever.
I think a good video question could be how you stay so positive and kind in this rude hateful world. You always seem so happy and full of life and positivity

HOW DARE ANYONE SEND YOU ANYTHING THAT ISN'T ABSOLUTELY LOVELY.

We love you Maria! I'm sorry people have not been nice to you.
Same. :(
you bring so much peace in to my life, that i dont really understand how someone would take the time to send you something disturbing. I will be forever thankful for all your effort, dedication and love that you put in to your videos. Really, thank you so much.
I can't believe how kind you are for sending her all that stuff. You must have spent a very long time putting all that together. Just loved it!
Maria, I absolutely loved your "random video" as you called it where you just talk about self development and self discovery.. You are such a smart and 'thinking' person, I love those sort of topics so if you liked talking about that please share your thoughts with us! Love from Sweden

Oh this would be great!
I agree!!
Yes, I agree, that would be awesome for a segment. Great idea!
Yes. Yassssssssss
awww the clay sculpture is so cute :) love it
It completely baffles me that someone would go out of their way and spend money to send someone something negative. In regards to talks, I'd love to hear about how you deal with working from home. Keeping a schedule, loneliness, etc. It's something I've been doing for the last couple months and I'm struggling a little bit. Thanks Maria!
I would love to see you talk about pop culture or movies/shows, or whatever you're passionate about! :)
omg Maria PLEASE make another video with that cream bag... those sounds were amazing!
Maybe in next video you could talk about your daily routine! I think it would be fun to see what you do. Love from Italy!
great idea
I love how this channel shows how much work goes into your role play! I would love you to talk about mental health and wellbeing and specifically how you balance being realistic and informed about the world but also remaining happy and optimistic
You are so peaceful, kind & gentle. You make my heart sing with happiness.
YES PLEASE DO A VIDEO WITH THAT PURSE! I know you have an older video of it but the up close sounds are different sounding and I really really like it :)
Hi Maria! I'm so sorry that you received unpleasant packages. That is awful! Thanks for sticking around and staying positive despite it. You brighten the lives of so many!

Travel mishaps, favorite activities, or future goals. Thanks so much for all that you do!
All of your videos just radiate kindness. You can just automatically tell that are you are genuinely a great person.
Always a pleasure, Maria!
I like that ring. My FAVORITE video so far is the one you took us to that neat store to jewelry shop with you!! And your voice was so nice!! If you could do more like that, it would be awesome!! Love you!
I'd love to see a video of comforting a friend thru a heart break by sharing your experience, strength & hope. A soft whisper one.
I loved the old white noise video you did a while ago with the dark background and very slow movements. I would love another one of those! And I had the most tingles when you blew the melted scents from the warmer all around. It was amazing!
An up close video with the purse would be amazing. The beads are kind of mesmerizing. ♡
Maria, my heart. You're one of the most kind hearted people I've ever been exposed to. Even though I've never met you, I feel like the little pieces of consideration for others that come through in your videos is enough to inspire me forever. You're apologetic for absolutely everything, because you consider everyone THAT much. Any kind of insecurity or vulnerability you share is so, so, wonderful.

Also one final thing, I believe we are similar in age, and I've also struggled with hormonal and cystic acne... I still do - BUT I have some helpful pieces of advice from my naturopath that is outside of pharmaceuticals. Not a fan of pills either.
Anyway. Love you ❤️
I would love to hear more about your crystals and how you believe they've helped you and things of that nature. I find it so interesting!!
And I'm also sorry you received some not so nice things in your PO box, I'll never understand why people take their time just to do things like that. It's really sad. You're a beautiful person, and even without knowing you, that shines through in your videos. Keep being you and doing great work on your ASMR channel and here, getting to see more of your life other than just ASMR videos is really wonderful!
stay off of birth control!!! that stuff is horrible maria!!! especially if you want kids ever?
just clean your face and smile your gorgeous birth control is horrible and messes people up bad gl.
You could talk about healthy eating, russian cooking, crystals and their benefits, any meditations you might recommend, your past travels or the places you would like to go to, relationships and how to make them work, getting through hard times and trying to keep a positive outlook, peer pressure or trying to fit in for adults or teens. Hope this helps!! :D
I love Ashlie. She featured one of my gifts to her a few days ago. Such a lovely, caring person. You and Ashlie are my go to ASMRtists xx
I hope you would make another food tasting ASMR video as you've had done a long time ago...I really enjoyed it :)
I know! That one about the borscht, salads, gingerbread and meringues is one of my faves! I know someone who makes the Polish veggie version of the Olivie salad, it's delicious! I think I would like to see a vid of how to make the borscht.
+Nabil Fikri Yesss that is one of my favourite Maria video!
It always makes me so happy to come home from school and see that you have posted a video. Your videos are the best! I love your personality.❤️
I love you Maria. You are such a hard working youtuber. You seriously take your time to make videos and communicate with your viewers. I suggestion you to tell us basically everything about you, like your childhood, your hobbies, places you have been, places you want to go, your favourite food, etc
Btw,I have been depressed lately and your videos have helped a lot. Your voice is extremely soothing and I love every single video!
Your beautiful ring reminded me to ask if you can make another ring collection video?
That was definitely a good one!!
I love these talks!! I would love to hear more about your favorite healthy recipes or foods you like to eat/snack on that help you keep your weight down or ones that you just enjoy.
I also think a talk on hair, beauty or health products would be interesting. Even all natural diy type beauty projects.
I loved your inspiring messages and talk after you saw the TED talks. Maybe how to find our passions and how to follow our dreams.
I like your talks on how you meditate and relax.
Even nail care info and how you take care of them, even a tutorial.
I always feel like I learn so much from your channels. Any talk or conversation is a benefit to me!!
What a thoughtful package for Ashley, I love her videos and am looking forward to watching this one! Hope you are not too lonely cooped up creating all these lovely things for us - I know I can go a bit stir-crazy in that situation! Sometimes it can help to go to the gym or to adult learning classes (languages, new skills etc) to get a bit of interaction and structure into your day. Just know that we appreciate you so much! xxx

I’m so nostalgic of these old vlogs.... you’re a darling.
totally love when you cook, the accent, the voice. food is your zone
I would love for you to do more DIY projects on here your so crafty
Changing to a vegan diet has completely cleared up my hormonal acne around my jaw line. It did take 6 months for it to completely clear up, but I have been struggling with minor acne for 8 years and I was so happy with the result that I've had just from eating differently. I hear ya though sister, it is a crappy issue to deal with. You're such a beautiful woman though, never forget that.
The music you use in the background is so relaxing! Makes this an ASMR video for me!
That is such a shame that you had to close the PO box, the fact that anyone would send you rude things is just sad. I know ASMR community is mostly full of lovely people, but I suppose that when you have as many followers as you do you are bound to attract some whackos. I hope some of the negativity stops!
+Jess Johnson I didn't even get to send her anything. Some folks ruin it for everyone. Too bad she won't publicize their addresses.
swedish girl I think Maria is far too nice to do something like that. What would that gain? Its not kind, and it will not solve the problem. I think she is doing the wisest thing by pulling the PO box. Perhaps she will open it again another time.
You know what would be really cool? You doing like a gift bag tutorial. I think it'll be super informative and relaxing. Your gift bag was super adorable and i think it'll be super fun to see the process! Thanks for the videos! They're great
Maria, I would love to hear more about your family. If you're comfortable with sharing anything about them. Maybe stuff about your childhood growing up in Russia or some silly traditions your family had/has. Love you!!
You should try primrose oil, it's amazing for acne problems!
I think it's really sad that certain individuals have to ruin the fun of you receiving gifts by being childish and sending disturbing and unkind things.
Hi Maria! I have been watching your asmr videos for 2 years now and am so glad you have this channel as well!! Watching any of your videos makes my day :)
Can you do monthly favorites/unfavorites videos each month? I love those videos, hearing about new products or even shows.
I also like videos about peoples fears/phobias or even pet peeves. Another idea is to have a q&a video.
Take care!
No matter how blessed you are, hand made packages are always the BEST!
Aw Maria I'm sorry you had to close your PO box! The clay figurine is adorable!
I love your vlogs, Maria! You really inspire me, you're such a kind person.
Hi Maria,
I had the same problem with hormonal acne when I was your age. It's very normal and kudos to you for not being afraid to share it. The only thing that works for my hormonal acne is making sure I get at least 8 cups of water a day and usually a good deal more than that. It helps to calm things down from the inside out! Good luck!
i died over that nail polish ... gorgeous !!!!!
i really get more tingles with this channel than your asmr channel. i guess the tone of your voice and the simplicity and detail you put into explaining some things!:)
I am so sorry people sent you negative packages! it always surprises me how awful some people can be. thanks for sticking with your videos!!! love you and both ur channels!! ♡♡♡♡
Your nails are sooooo pretty!!!
I love your nails so much, they go pretty well with your ring!! Thanks for sharing all of the amazing videos you do. You’re are very sweet, smart and a great person. Thank you for making my nights softer. ❤️
I have an idea for a talk segment! Maria, I find that one of your strengths is maintaining a wonderfully upbeat and positive attitude. One thing that certainly plays into that is finding time to connect with ourselves, even in the midst of busy schedules. How do you center yourself? What do you recommend as a good way to connect with ourselves and tune in to what's really taking place inside ourselves and away from the more superficial aspects of life?
I struggled with horrible acne for 10 years until I discovered something that really helped me - checking all my makeup ingredients to make sure they aren't hurting my skin. I copy and paste all my makeup ingredients into a comedogenic ingredient checker to make sure there's nothing harmful. You'd be surprised how many products that claim to be non- comedogenic or made for sensitive skin actually have super harmful ingredients. Once I changed all my makeup/skincare products, I noticed a huge difference. Hopefully this can be a helpful tip 😊 I also wanted to say that I've been watching your ASMR videos for three years now, and they've helped me immensely! Thank you for everything that you do Maria!
Aw! She's absolutely going to love that! How sweet and thoughtful ♡ That will be a fun video
Yes and please make some more show and tell videos with your bags! Love those!
I think it's safe to say many people love it when you talk about your crystals. Even if it's not a personal belief it's very relaxing. 😊
I recognize the loneliness you van experience. Good for you that you go out and surround yourself in a diverent emvironement with people :) I work 4-5 days at an office but I stil get lonely because I haven't made much friends here. But than I can watch your video. I just wanted to tell you that I al very thankful for your video's, on your main channel as well on this channel. It gives me comfort and love. Much love back to you from Holland and again thank you so much xox
I am an art history major in college and it would be so cool if you did a visual analysis of a work of art. Visual/formal analyses talk about aspects of a work and what they mean or communicate to the viewer. You also talk about iconography or symbols in the work and even the historical context. I can imagine it being so soothing to hear you talk about a work and pointing out things in it :)
Love the mini Maria figure! So cute! Reminds me of something from the Wallace and Grommit animations.
I just watched Ashley open this package lol she was so happy:D you're an amazing and sweet person masha 💗
Package from Maria to Ashley= heaven!!!! You are both the best xo
please talk more about crystal healing and about starting your own crystal collection! xxx
That claymation "Mini Maria" is so adorable!!!
Guess I'm not the only one who loves that purse!
i'm sorry to hear that people have been sending you bad stuff, and you should not feel bad about your acne, you look amazing!
Sending tons of love and good vibes from Denmark
I would LOVE to see a video with tips on how you stay productive and inspired when you create.
You always seem so organize with your creative process. It would be awesome if you could share how you go about it! :)
would love to hear you talk about television shows that you like
You are so positive and happy all of the time it seems. What is your secret? I just love your personality. I struggle with panic attacks and your other channel helps me with that so much. I want to thank you for that, really thank you! I wish I could give something back to you for the relief you have given me!! Thank you Ms Maria, you are the best!!!
PS: I tried to send you a private message on Instagram, but I'm not sure it worked. 😓
Maria, I work from home just like you do, and get lonely as well. I find it hard to even get the motivation to go out and interact with people at times. I feel your pain and actually cried with you on the vlog when you were crying about being lonely. I feel like we are so similar, in so many way. I just want to thank you for being a friend, even if you don't know the comfort you bring to me. You are silly, which I absolutely love, because I am too lol. Just know that there is a girly girl out there just like you feeling the same way...thanks for both of your channels. You're wonderful!
I have suffered with an e since I was 8. I am now in my early 30's and only within the last 4 years have I found something that truly helped and didn't harm my skin. I have tried everything too. The only thing that works for my skin, note that I said my skin because everyone's skin is unique and should be treated that way, is peroxide as a toner, 100% natural soap, coconut oil with tea tree oil and lavender for a moisturizer. I have hormonal acne too and extremely oily skin. I have admired your skin so often and thought of how you get it to be so smooth and clear. I understand your struggle. I hope you can try my suggestions and they help! You are so lovely inside and out!
Maria,
I would love to hear your opinion on astrology, maybe you could talk about your placements, thoughts, experiences etc. (I'm a huge astrology nerd!) Also, I would love to see a video of some sort dedicated to handwriting, maybe writing letters/notes or something of that nature. Your handwriting is so beautiful, and I am someone who loves writing, and the sound of pencil (or pen) on paper. Sending warm wishes your way, I hope everything is going well in your life ❤
Hello Maria!! I just want to tell you that you are the best ASMR artist ever, and I love you so much. Don't listen to those who hate on you, pity them because they have hate in their lives. No one gives what they don't have, they don't have love, they don't give it. You on the other hand give much much love to all of us, and I really appreciate that. You are the best❤️❤️❤️
I'm SO glad you spoke about hormonal acne around your 30s! The past few years since I turned 30 I have horrible hormonal acne. I've tried EVERYTHING!!! It's so embarrassing and it leaves me with big welts on my face sometimes. My doctor told me to take some birth control too but I've been trying anything else because I just don't want to do that anymore. I think I'm going to have to just for a little bit because girl I can't keep single handedly keeping the concealer makeup manufactures in business like this lol!
I'd love to hear you talk more about foods you like. Russian foods, natural foods. Anything like that. Or maybe talk about shopping you always have the cutest purses and things in general. 😁
Hi, Maria! I have been watching your videos since the beginning. When my mom was diagnosed with MS many years ago, your videos helped me to cope. Now I am 25 and battling my own chronic illnesses, and sadly one of the side effects of it is panic attacks. I watch your videos at night to help me sleep or when I get the day off to relax, but when I'm at work and dealing with my anxiety the most I am unable to. :/ I was wondering if perhaps you could do a video on managing anxiety naturally? I imagine a lot of people could benefit from it, not just myself. Thank you for all that you do! Your videos have improved my life more than you know. Sending you love and happiness!♡
*I really like this Argan rain oil because it comes with everything you need for a healthy skin. My acne scars cleared up completely. I recommend you use it for acne problems.*
I am surprised. ArganRain is so much prevailing .
I really enjoyed the cooking videos you have made in the past! The tingles are amazing! Plus your dishes were lovely and looked delicious!
I'd love to hear about your day to day life, and your thoughts on health - food, exercise, mental well being, ect. I find when you do talk about it it's so inspiring!
A quasi-collab video with Ashlie?! YAYYYY! My two favorites and really the only two ASMR channels I watch. Thank you! I found you through her channel and she was the first ASMR artist I discovered.
You are so fun. Thanks for all your work on your videos- I love them! They make a wonderful different in my life
I'm SO sorry that you've been getting inappropriate things in the mail, that's really awful. You deserve much better!
I think you're truly amazing. I love all your videos. you have such a positive attitude and have a special way of looking at life. inspiration!!!!
I'm so sorry Maria that you are going through this! Having acne is hard and embarrassing, and I know what it's like because I'm 17 and I have had acne for the past 4 years. I had big, giant cycts on my cheeks that were so embarrassing, especially at school, because I wanted to put a paper bag over my head because people would look at my face a lot. (Even when I wore makeup to cover it, you could still see them). I finally was put on Accutane from my dermatologist and I finished taking it last month and it wiped out all my acne on my face! I have acne scars left on my cheeks and I have to wait a few months for them to clear up naturally, but I hope that you get through this as peacefully as you can, and just know that a lot of us understand your situation and we love you so much. 💕😊
Maria you truly possess a gift and pureness and I thank you for being so generous in sharing parts it. In terms of requests...
I loved your videos when you read some of your favorite recipes/cook books & bed time stories (3d book) but I want more :) + I'd love another tailor/styling video but this time targeting a superwoman? Thank you for helping me unwind in this hectic world.
gosh.. I hate that people take advantage of your kindness, please understand that so so many of us adore you and you mean a lot to us! I really hope you don't let those horrible people get to you ;-; stay strong Maria, we all love you ^.^
I've had struggles with hormonal acne, and the best thing I've found is Lush products--Angels on Bare Skin scrub, Tea Tree Water, and Vanishing Cream. The winter is awful on my skin and it has helped scars and monthly breakouts! They're expensive but 100% worth it. Might be a good alternative and could quicken the gap between when the birth control kicks in and starts helping--I know you appreciate natural products! (I don't work for them or anything--I just felt like I'd tried everything and then discovered these Lush products and fell totally in love).
Oooh I agree... that nail polish is soo pretty! I work from home, too - I should try getting out like this! I love Ashley! I can't wait to see her make this video. You put together such a beautiful package for her.
even when you're not trying to be relaxing, you're still relaxing!
I love the nails! Can you give us the colors/brand you used for the grey and the glitter?
Faye UK
I think it's a holographic glitter, which shows all colors!
more crystal videos please! I think it's super interesting.. i would love to see you just talk more about them
I love your nails and I love hearing your opinion :) I've had the same exact acne problem, so I feel your pain and thank you for sharing. I would love to hear about what books you are reading, what shows you are watching, what music you are listening to- stuff like that. Thanks for everything Maria!
You have beautiful handwriting! Also your gift to Ashley is so thoughtful :)
I love your vlogs! You seem so sweet and kind hearted ❤️
I *love* the nail polish you're wearing :-D
