Do you guys have a favorite flower 🌻
and re: the penny situation lol
I was always taught to put it in and didn't know why but google now tells me "The copper in pennies is thought to act like an acidifier, which prevents the growth of bacteria." So hehe
Sunflowers! They never fail to put me in a good mood.
sunflowers! i got super happy when i saw some in one of the clips
cari cakes allium roseum!! i wish they had an emoji for it tho hehe
Dandelions!! Maybe too normal, but I just love when you wake up one day and everything is bright and yellow and then another day- poof! They’re all fluffy 🥰 (plus I met a little kid who called them Wish Flowers and that just absolutely melted my heart)
pansies!! i have a purple one tattooed on my ankle 🌼
While watching this vid I found myself thinking “it’s crazy how Cari always has interesting content and how she uploads very often” bc that’s a weird combination to find on UA-cam lmao I swear I could watch her reviewing a cereal and I would find it fascinating hahah keep up the good work sunshine!
bahahah thank you!! i cant remember the last time i had cereal though LOL
I'm moving to Seoul next month and I'll definitely be checking out that flower market.
enjoooooy^^ good luck on the move!
@@caricakes Thank you! Your videos have given me so many great ideas for places I want to go.
keeping a journal in korean is such a good idea! I hope those purple flowers live a long and happy life 🌸❤
lol wish me luck! i cant even keep a normal journal hahaha and so far they're holding on!!!
When you crave a bit of adventure, Cari always provides 😆
hehehe thanks for coming along~
I get so excited whenever a notification pops up from you, thank you so much for making these videos cari, I always look forward to them after a long day. I love your lovely authentic personality and the amount of effort you put into your videos, your happiness and positive energy never fails to work it’s magic on everyone. You inspire me to be the best version of myself so thank you so much! best wishes for the future xx
oh my goodness this comment is too sweet, thank you so much!!!!
I’m only 10 seconds in and i’m already in love with your video once again 😔👊🏻
😭 im so happy!!!
Girl...don’t ever turn off the A/C!!! It is not loud at all!!! Save yourself! Lol
Your videos bring me peace and joy! I love the way you show us how beautiful simple things are.Thank you so much!
thank you so much truly!
I love your cafe tours... i really appreciated them... thank you for sharing us to these little gems of Korea... I plan to open a cafe/book shop later... am learning a lot from watching your videos...:)
thank you so much! and ahhhh thats the dream!!
One thing that helped me a lot when I started learning English: I would read books in English, and *whenever* I encountered a word I didn't know, *look it up.*
Of course this is really slow and painful at first, it takes forever to just get through even a single page, but it really helps, and I improved really quickly that way.
My main problem is that I can learn a word after looking it up and recognize it when i read or hear it, but to actually come up with it myself when i need it to speak - its blank! i hope that a journal will force me to be able to use the words on my own ㅠㅠ
So I had a very bad start to my day. My anxiety has been skyrocketing lately and amidst all my uni responsibilities, I’m legit drowning in all that I have to do on a daily basis. I was able to get permission to miss this class to calm myself down and here I am watching your vlog and it’s making me feel so much better. Thank you cari, this was really beautiful and calming 💜
I’m glad that you were able to take care of yourself! I hope you are able to pass over this bump in the road that is university and move on to brighter things soon! Glad we could help each other out so much and hope the rest of your day is better 🙏
Your videos always give me a strange sort of homesickness for Korea despite having never even been there. You always show such charming places and my heart longs for them ❤️
I’m going to this flower market ASAP! 😍💐
YESSSSS!!!!!!🌸🌼🌻🌹🌷💐
Omg at 8:17 you literally came to my neighborhood and it looks so amazing through your eyes ✨ thanks for showing it so well :) and the typewriter café is my absolute fav!
It looks beautiful, I’m so jealous haha. What’s it called?
jostae It’s called Haebangchon (해방촌) near Namsan Mountain :))
Esel thanksss:)
Massive coincidence, I also ended my day with Haagen Dazs and writing in a foreign language (Japanese for me, I'm writing shochu mimai to my friendship family and other friends). I know it was hot, but the lighting and colors in this video are to die for ❤️ thanks for brightening my day!!
Currently late morning here & sat at my work desk, but made a little better now knowing I have this to watch when I get home this evening, yay! 🤗
wonderful as usual! also for a language study i would recommend writing something you would love to write normally. for example if you love to write poems in your language, even if it looks ridiclous, write poems and learn the words you would love to use. doing what u love is the best method to learn anything i guess
omg thats such a good idea!!!! thank you!
Watching your videos literally calms me down and puts a smile on my face 🖤🖤🖤
I’m going to Seoul probably next week to visit my aunt and I’m in love with your videos they helped me so much 🧡🧡
yeeeee have a great trip!!
It's so amazing how we can see and feel your genuine character through your videos! Can't wait for you to reach and pass 100k subs!!
gah! thank you! i cant wait either hahaha
다른 채널에서 볼수 없는 cari cakes님의 독특하고 이쁜 영상...님의 동영상을 보고 있으면 힐링 되는 기분입니다....좋은 영상 잘봡습니다.
I just came back from my exchange in Seoul and watching your videos is super nostalgic but beautiful i got to see so many nice places bc of your vlogs ✨
wahhh im glad i can be your little window back to korea^^
I just found your videos, but I think you're my favorite UA-camr now. I'm going to study abroad in Korea in 12 days for a year and your videos have been so helpful. I'm also hopeful seeing you adjust and live in Korea. Thanks for amazing content
Your videos are always relaxing. You made all those shots on alleys and buildings quite whimsical. Love it 💞
Ah, the market looks so lovely. Being surrounded by flowers is always amazing. By the way, I couldn't even hear the AC when my volume wasn't all the way up!
darn i should have kept it on then bahahha and i agree, its such a cool place!
Interesting idea with the journal, been trying to write lately and tho i'm far from being able to do an entire article in Korean perhaps I could work up towards that over time. Love these vlogs too super refreshing, always feels like an entirely different Korea than the normal esports/kpop stuff I follow. Almost therapeutic in a way, very relaxing:)
im definitely going to be stuggling with the diary hahah and thank you so much!!
I get the same feeling from your videos that I do when I watch Ghibli movies, so breathtakingly wistful and pretty and colorful and just lovely all around ...thank you so much for brightening up my entire day :)
Oh my god, your plants are so cute!!! My inner plant mom was squealing for a solid minute at the sight of such a big plant store haha (also I love the blue earrings you mentioned!) great video ❤️❤️
i was seriosuly overwhelmed the first time i went! i originally went around 6am and it was CHAOS so 8ish was a lot calmer (though the really good flowers were sold)
cari cakes 6AM??? Dang I guess that seriously gives “early bird gets the worm” a new meaning!!!
I LOVE your idea about journaling in Korean! I am starting to teach myself Korean. I discovered a video of a native Korean who speaks English and he said learn 1000 words in any language you want to speak and you will at least have a working knowledge of that language. So I am building a journal with Korean words.
I've tried journaling in Korean but I always get comfortable and just write what I can write and skip what I can't. 😂 신흥시장 seems lovely!! I love that they're trying to support indie businesses, can't wait to visit.
Another great vlog! For the past few videos your skin has looked even better and super glowy 😍
wah thanks so much!
I love enjoying your vlogs taking it slow with a hot cup of tea 🍵
thank you for always sharing these gems in the most aesthetically pleasing way!!
thank YOU always!!
The flowers you bought are so pretty!!!!! The tunnels look so cool, I love them!
A Caricakes video is always a great way to wake up
^^~ good morning~~
There's a HUGE bush of forget-me-nots in my backyard so i think they'll always be my favorite :) they're delicate little blue babies w hints of yellow and white. that vase was a wonderful impulse buy!!
i absolutely love watching your videos it’s making em so excited for my holiday in september!!! good luck with the diary
I´m always so happy every time to upload a new video!!
For a second I thought you were going to say "Oops...I did it again".
Lovely flowers, my fav is the hibiscus.
I have the same Korean tiger postcard :)
hahaha thank you!! and hibiscus are so pretty!!
You look even prettier than usual as time goes on. I hope that isn't worded weirdly or anything. Your perm looks so good (...my hair..is a disaster in this humidity no matter what i do...) and your makeup and earrings and everything just looks so good. I started desk warming today since it's summer vacation and the students are gone and this was a wonderful start to the morning
GAH you are too kind! and see you soon! let me get myself together and then lets plan august hehe
will be the highlight of my summer
Flowers, such a great aesthetic and cool music, what else can we ask for?❤️Thanks Cari love the video, just a tip for flowers, if you add a few drops of lemon to the water they will last longer, I have no idea why but they do last longer✨🌷
ohhhh love all these flower tips! thank you!!!
The music in your videos is always so good!
Lovely as always
hope you are too! i just wish it wasnt so humid haha
those are most definitely myosotis aka "forget-me-not"!! one of my favorite flowers!! aaahh 😍
the fake flowers+vase you bought are beautiful!!
i feel like i've only ever seen the flowers not the leaves/stem so i couldnt be sure heheh and thank you!!
I randomly decided to watch a video almost from 2 years ago and spotted the Greek PM in 2:59 out of nowhere. Lovely video, greetings from Greece!
At 4:33 , I thought Cari was trying to cast a spell LOL 'Riddikulus!' Loved the video as always, Cari! ♥ You're always so entertaining and I love seeing your adventures!
You are by far my favorite you tuber. I really love your videos. Best greetings from Austria ❤
😭🙏 thank you so much!
So much respect for that market with the low rent 👍 I remember the how interesting the typewriter cafe was! Just seems like such a cool place in general
i am so thankful for them!! and yeah its constantly getting more and more interesting hehe
Definitely a place to check out 😊
i just left seoul 2 weeks ago after spending 5 months there so im happy i can keep watching ur videos and pretending im still there
hope you can come back soon^^
when you said you only journal for a week a season, i realised it's actually more than that -- because your vlogs and videos are ways for you to recap + reflect on your week! aka another way of journaling c: 🌼
exactly!!
4:35
"some people thought that they were real"
...it's me, i'm people
bahahahhaa
cari! I love your videos. I’ve been subscribed to you for a year now and every time you upload I get so excited. thank you for sharing your life and life in Korea. 💜
thank you so so much for sticking around and being with me on this journey!!
Thank you for anothe korean vlog♥️
I will visit there tomorrow！
Thank you Cari, love you always💕✨
Love the flowers you got! Just bought a necklace set from Ana Luisa using your code. I can’t wait to get it!
i hope you love it!! and thank you^^
flowers make me so happy 😔🤟 even though it is a little part of our lives, it never fails to make my heart feel lighter hehe.
the little things are the most important!
Been very much looking forward to this, thank you Cari 🌼 :))
Katie Bal thank YOU so much!
Congratulations Katie Bal. You are a deserving champion.
Love the colors, love the music, and love that you take us to all this places! That flowers looks sooo real. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and show us this a,azing places.
thank you as alwayssss!! im glad you enjoyed the color grading in this one!
Everything about this vlog is amazing! I loved exploring Shineung market as well. Putting that flower market on my to explore list for next time!
its such a great hidden gem!!
the filter on this videooo!!!! my eyes were so pleased, you made seoul look so vibrant and inviting (which i don't doubt it is!!!). thanks for the recommendations, too!!
gah!! thank you for noticing and thank you for coming along!!
I just discovered your channel like half an hour ago but I'm literally so obsessed with your vlogs 💞💞💞
Gah! Thank you so much!
I love this idea of journalling in the language you're learning! I'm fluent in French but I don't write as much as I did in university when I studied it. I speak at my work because I work with a lot of French people but I do switch to English a lot. Good idea and nice excuse for a new notebook lol!
hehe *looks nervously at my growing pile of unused notebooks*
The flower market was heaven! I would never want to leave. 😻😻
agreed!
Cari! I really recommend the diary idea, I keep one in Japanese, and I've been doing it since February, every couple of days, and my tutor corrects it. The difference it made was tremendous, my writing and understanding skills literally skyrocketed and I understood so much more grammar points easily, it helped me read faster too. I learnt a lot of new words so quickly.. some of the most obscure words, that only my diary would ever need, hehe 🌸
I've only done one day so far but i really like it! i just need to start doing more interesting things cause i have nothing to write hahah
cari cakes oh.. me too. it was like “today was cloudy” “I went to eat with my friends” .. the same thing so I just started writing about my thoughts for the day or like random feelings // things I’ve noticed for the week or something like that 🌿🍃
I love the atmosphere you create in your videos (love your choice of music, again...:-) ). Thumbs up!!!!
those little blue guys are forget-me-nots! the cutest name ever to match such an adorable flower
P.S. the flowers you bought are scabiosa and compared to most they look huuuge!!
i love my lil purple friends!
The view of namsan is absolutely beautiful 😍💕 love the flowers that you got
right?! it never gets less breathtaking!
haven’t watched your videos in so long, i missed u :( I have to watch everything you have uploaded now xD
wahhh welcome back!!!
Put some ice and a little bit of sugar/chilsung cider into the water with the purple flowers, so they can last a bit longer 😊
I just love watching your videos when I'm organising my life, makes me feel like I have a friend with me whilst doing it. Your voice is just so calm and soothing. Also, do you ever dry your flowers? I do it all the time, I think you'd enjoy the look of them too, if you haven't done it yet.
thank you so much! i've had a few bouquets dry really well actually! i should get back into drying them hehe
I sometimes feel tempted to purchase a huge TV bc Cari’s vlogs deserve to be on the big screen bc its so beautiful😭 (also I really like gypsophilas 🎉)
omg thank you hahaha and awww baby's breath!!
In looooove with your videos and just you in general! Your vlogs are amazingggg..the colors in all of your videos are soooo nice 🥺🥺🥺💖💖💖💖
gahhhh thank you so much!
well seoul have so many favorite things to do there
we like the markets and shops around the streets
seoul the capital city of south korea and one of the most interesting cities to the world
You complete my day. Lovelots from Philippines ❤️😘
sending you lots of love back~
Watching this while making my morning tea 😍🌷 Also, congrats on almost hitting 100,000 subs! Your videos are such a breath of fresh air in my feed.
thank you so so much!
Your videos always make me calm and cozy about moving to Seoul in a few months. Thank you
hope your move is a great success!!!
The fresh flowers you bought look like scabiosa to me :) Lovely blooms, they can come in a soft purple (and white as well, I think) which is charming!
The flower market has a lot of flowers. It's a real fake flower, it looks beautiful.🌸🌸
This year it's decided, I'm gonna take the inspiration you give me and record my time in Korea! Just wanted to tell you haha ^^
I am definitely not a natural at commenting so I tend to be a silent viewer but yeah, always love what you do
thank you always!! and yes! record in any way feels best for you^^
I loooooooveeee ur videos. It helps me alot on planning my trip to seoul last July. Thank you 😊
Gosh I miss Korea so much! this vlog is lovely!
queen of summer
hahaha nooooo summer kills me!
Cari has a very classical beauty and would love to see her in a Hollywood film with a classical theme. 😍
Love every one of your videos so much, they bring me joy! I wanted to ask, are you still sending out postcards?
gahhh thank you! and yes! i've paused payment for the past 3 months because of all the life changes but i will start up again soon!
perfection. all of it. the whole vlog. 🌼
So beautiful, Cari!! ❤😍😍
Thank you!!
First time youtube recommended the beautiful and heartwarming videos. Love your content and your voice is so calm and relaxing!! I’m a korean myself and didn’t even know all these sweet spots you visited! Aesthetic, inspirational and informative at the same time!! Triple crown for ya haha
Keep up the good work and hope you love living in korean although you seem like already very much in love with it!!
I really love your hair in this vid!!! and the flowers you chose were totally my taste too, especially the color scheme of them :-)
thank you so much!
Love the video! I visited Seoul back in April and stayed near Namsan tower. It was beautiful! Also totally bought a necklace with the discount. Oops!
I'm so in love with the aesthetic of your videos. Love it even more when you choose a song with French lyrics
Thank you so much for the recommendation with Ana Luisa. Lately I've been trying to find ways to not support fast fashion. With jewelry, I wasn't so sure where to turn. But their pieces look amazing so I'm planning to treat myself to an item or two this week!
they're not perfect (handmade is always better than a factory no matter how good that factory is!) but they do really good work :)
OHHH I JUST WENT “OOOOO NEW CARI VIDEO!!” WHEN I GOT THE NOTIF 🥺
Hehehe 😍
Excellent content, making Seoul very appealing.
I really loved the colors of this video! And also, I adore the way you're always exploring the city, wish I could do the same where I live :) oh, I'm the girl who did a digital painting of the photo you took at the
타자기 coffee, tks again for the inspiration and for always showing us beautiful places just like the flower market. Also thanks for the diary tip, I'll try to have one in english (i cant maintain one in portuguese but maybe now that i have a goal...) because i need to improve it and my korean is too basic for that kind of thing, but one day... who knows. Have a nice week, Cari
omg yesss the painting that looked like a freaking photo hahaha still amazed by you!
I think the idea of journaling in English is very good, I am french caribbean and when I started learning English seriously I did just that. I wrote my thoughts (or tried to lol) in English so my mom could not understand. I want to learn Korean so BAD, I love how it sounds! I might do that too journaling once again in another language. Let's do it together
100k!!! congratulations cari!! i was here when you had 30k and i can’t wait to be here when you hit 1mil. 💛🧡
the color grading is so so so nice
yeee thank you!
Please don't stop making videos on UA-cam ❤️
need u to drop your skincare or a makeup routine like Seriously skin is looking good !!
lol i made one!! my skincare vids never get good views tho lol youtube hides them! ua-cam.com/video/SFr9rVAU-TY/v-deo.html
great video cari :) your videos always make me miss seoul so much but in like a happy/fond way lol :)
my favorite flowers are chrysanthemums and one time when i was like 10 on a class field trip i saw some but called them "chlamydias" :( and my class never forgot
Bahahhahah i have had similar slip ups 😂😂😂
Shinheung market! Finally I know the name of it, I wondered there once and visited Orangorang (I lived like 10-15min walk from there) but had absolutely no idea it had a name haha but I really liked how it's hidden so it's not busy or anything :) and there are quite a few cafés you could chose from.
Yessss! I think orangorang was really the first place in there so it was always a little creepy walking there - its crazy how much has moved in!!
