Hello my dear friends! 👋💕 How’s your first week of 2024? I’ve been receiving comments and messages asking if I’m okay from the recent earthquake. Thank you so much everyone for your concern🥹. I’m fine and my place wasn’t affected so much by the earthquake🤗. I hope everyone is also doing well.💕 Stay safe and have a wonderful day! ❤️
It is true what you think/say!!! The producers are obliged to put an expiring date on the products. That doesn’t mean that the product will be bad directly. Getting bad depends on the kind of product like f.e. dry pasta will last very long of sugar or salt too. For dry herbs bought in the supermarket (bottled in the factory) it follow no rules and I use it until its finished. When we talk about fresh products like meat/dairy products/eggs …I will not use those products anymore after the expiring date. I think its too dangerous for salmonella or so. I am also living om my own (since 2013) and it’s hard sometimes like you say. When I have health issues or a problem, I have those difficult moments. At those moments I take a “rescue plant’s based tablet” and then I feel better soon.
Hi Lou C my 1st week of 2024 was good left my job cause it was so awful and stressful. Have 2nd interview tomorrow for something really good. Dont worry about expiration dates especially on goods like pasta, rice, tin goods, seasoning etc it's more of a guidance. It's for fresh foods meats, fish, eggs, milk etc where you need to be careful. Glad you got home too see your family. Take care ❤
It was wonderful seeing how mindful you are about cleaning, cooking, traveling and being with your family. And seeing Cloudy - everyone can sense how loved he is. You are doing fine and should be proud of your accomplishments. I wish you a year of golden moments.
It's late, but Happy New Year. One suggestion for your food items, use a sharpie permanent marker to write the date you bought them. Then add the date you open. This will help you track how old they are. Peppercorns and other spices are good for up to 2 years past any expiration date. They just won't taste as strong as when fresh. Thanks for sharing your routines with us. Helps inspire the rest of us in doing our day to day living.
Always astonished by the quality of filming, the nice light, the good framing, the intelligence of editing, the right sound at the right moment, the different moods and the climax in Philippina. Congratulations! And don't worry for the salt, like wine, no expiration date 😊
Wine indeed expires... at least in the sense of usability. Very high quality wines are good for a longer time than lower quality, but wine can get vinegary as it ages. We've saved wine for a special occasion only to have it be vinegary and inedible to drink.
@@brandylou9132 When stored properly and kept unopened, white wines can often outlive their recommended drinking window by 1-2 years, red wines by 2-3 years, and cooking wines by 3-5 years. Fine wine can typically be consumed for decades. Once opened though, the expiration is about 3-5 days with cool storage.
@@RememberMeYeah Yes, but my point was not actually about expiration dates. I was responding to the comment that "wine gets better with time". That's just not true. Some wines get vinegary.
Happy and prosperous 2024 to you Lou. I understand all too well the wonderful feeling to go back to your roots! I did that for 35 years and now I live at my ocean home! Just an FYI on the salt expiry. Salt never expires as it does not contain water. Microbes need water. As well salt is poisonous to most microbes. Salt was hugely important as a food preservative prior to refrigeration. I’m glad that you spent a happy New Year with your family.💕🇨🇦
When food shopping, I first make a list of the meal I want to make that week. Then I only buy the ingredients that I need to make those meals. That way there is no waste.
I dont think any content on UA-cam has ever been this relaxing to me. I feel like it does wonders for my stress and reduces anxiety. Thank you so much Lou! And I will take note on that tape-broom thing, because that is genius :D
Hey Lou, about your food poisoning: Here in Germany, we don't defrost meat with the mircowave 'cause it can very quickly cover your meat with germs. We always thaw it in the fridge the night before. We tend to put minced meat in the microwave if we have to, but never chicken or pork. Maybe this will help you :)
The person that marries you my dear, will be beyond blessed!! So glad you got to go home and see your family for the holidays. Great video, as always and you are stronger than you know 😊
I found this channel about 2 weeks ago and find it very calming. She doesn't really show her face and doesn't say a word, but I subscribed because, for some reason, it's calming to watch. Not in a million years would I have thought that I would subscribe to a channel like this. But here I am lol. 😀
Hello Lou C. Happy New Year! Glad you and your apartment are ok after the earthquake. Nice that you were able to go home for the holidays. Take care dear lady and thanks for sharing these slices of your life with us.
Hello from Italy and happy new year! Salt is a mineral, while peppercorn and other spices are seeds or fruits or whatever, so it makes sense that inorganic matter doesn’t have an expiration date. In my fridge I have an “Eat me first” box (found the idea in pinterest): things that need to go fast or that are close the expiration date are there. Hope you’re doing well and enjoy the holiday with your family! ❤
I'm glad you are okay after the earthquake, and had a wonderful time with your family. Stay strong, and continue to share your wonderful videos of your life in Japan and your visits to your family in the Philippines. 💕
Hi Lou, first comment. In the UK/EU we have a best before end date and a use by, it is probably similar in Japan. Use by is for perishable foods such as chicken, prawns, fresh dairy etc and should not be eaten past the date on the label. Best before is okay to use past the expiry date but the quality might degrade if it is quite far gone but would be perfectly okay to eat and not cause food poisoning. I would have no issue eating food that is a few months past its best before. Happy new year - love your content.
Thankyou so much for this lovely video. I really enjoy seeing your daily life, especially food shopping & cooking. You are so right about what's important in life - my desk calendar has a "saying" for each day & one recently said "The little things? The little moments? They aren't little". Best wishes from Sydney Australia
Hi Lou!!! I’m always looking forward to your posts. You make me so calm. My new years resolution is to loose weight and not sweat the small stuff. I get on my treadmill and walk to your videos. Before I know it ,I’ve walked 2 miles. And I’m so calm. I’m so glad you got to go back home to celebrate the new year with your family. I love you Lou. I pray for you all the time. May God Bless you.
Just a little tip to make life easier : cover the inside basket of your air fryer with foil. U can use it a few times before replacing it with a new one. Always love your videos my darling ! Thank you.
Nice to see a video from you today. You mentioned getting sick from expired foods. Another possibility is proper dishwashing. You need to clean your dishes with warm almost hot soapy water rinse in hot water then dry. Cold water alone does nothing to get rid of germs. I see this a lot when you wash dishes. Take care be well happy new year.
О, Люси! Как же приятно видеть и чувствовать твоё хорошее настроение! А позитивное отношение к жизни еще приятнее наблюдать! Не грусти, моя хорошая, мы все с тобой!
I hope you come close to all your goals in 2024. You are a very thoughtful and ambitious young lady and an inspiration to young people who work hard to get ahead in life. You are methodically and diligently pursuing all that you seek!!! It’s a pleasure watching you!!!
Oh Lou, I'm sooo happy you got to see your family. I just got back from S.Korea visiting my daughter , the first time in 2 years since I saw her . I hope 2024 is a great year for you .
I have the same issues with food and condiments expiring. It’s because I also live alone. I don’t have a grocery store near me, so I cannot stock up on a lot of fresh things because they go bad. Also, I absolutely love your cooking videos. I wish you would do about an hour video with just cooking. I would watch it repeatedly! When you cook, it is relaxing and mesmerizing for me. I absolutely love it. Thank you for taking so much time with your followers. We appreciate you so much. ❤️ Love , Sue from Texas, USA
So happy to know you weren’t adversely impacted by the earthquake!! My husband and I were concerned, but this is the only social media I engage with, so we are just happy that you are safe and well. We’re from California and Alaska, so we do understand the earthshaking and we hope that you are always healthy and safe. Much love Lou. 💕💕🌺 Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your beautiful Philippine hometown, loving family time, and Cloudy is as cute as ever!!
I’m happy for you that you got to go home and celebrate the new year with your family, you work so hard and I’m glad you can enjoy time with family. Happy new year to you.
Hello friend, I am Barbara from the United States of America and I think your videos are so adorable like you are. I am a new subscriber. I enjoy the different things that you do. So sweet. God Bless.❤❤
So glad you got to see your family. I just started watching your videos a couple of months ago. I watch them because they are so calming!! Thank you for making videos!!! I pray all your hopes and dreams come true!!
I love to see your recipes. Watching you shop and cook is my favorite. The pretty things you buy for yourself makes me feel i can by myself pretry things as well.
Your mom is right it only matters that you were there to make memories with them! I’m so happy you got to spend New Years with family. Thank you for sharing some of those memories with us 🥰
Hello Lou, I really enjoy your videos so very much. And you have been helping me! I am cooking more at home, getting things done in my apartment, and thinking more positive about being strong, no matter what is happening in my life. It's not easy, however I am doing this more thanks to you. 🙏🙏 You have inspired me to take better care of things in my life. I am grateful 🙏 I hope you had a wonderful time with your family when you went home ❤️ Have a good day at work and see you in your next video! 🌞🌞🌞
Use a separate cutting board for raw chicken. Never place cooked food or fresh produce on a plate, cutting board, or other surface that previously held raw chicken. Wash cutting boards, utensils, dishes, and countertops with hot soapy water after preparing chicken and before you prepare the next item.
Здравствуй! С наступившим Новым годом! Давно тебя не было с нами. Рада увидеть снова твою историю. Увидела в холодильнике смятую пластиковую бутылку с соусом. Я такие бутылки храню вверх дном, соус всегда будет доступен
I'm so happy you got to go home for new Years and spend time with your family. It looks like you had a very good time. Your Mom is right. You coming home is more important then bring stuff for them. You cooked some delicious meals. Thank you for sharing with us.
Happy New Year Lou C, I am so relieved that you and your apartment are ok! Sending thoughts and prayers to everyone suffering from the earthquake 🙏! Am so happy to have a new video to watch from one of my favourite content creators, your videos are special filled with inspiration, joy and love. Even your content that is a little more thoughtful, especially on the living alone as I do too but unlike you I still live in the country I was born in and you have the added stress of living alone in a different country and I must say you are doing very well and very gracefully. I was watching some of your old content as your content/videos bring me Joy, Happiness and peace, and one of the videos you Sang in the shower! Wow you have such a beautiful Singing voice I just wanted to let you know that! Please keep up the content it really helps and brings Joy to so many people! Am really looking forward for what 2024 brings for you! You may be alone in person, but in spirit, you are not alone! Peace.
I hope you're doing well and have had a good start to the new year! 😊Very reassuring that your residential area was not badly affected by the terrible earthquake. I recently learned a little something that I didn't know either: oat products should be stored in a dark container and in a dark place, otherwise important healthy ingredients will be lost. I still have a small (transparent) jar half full of oats here, which I now use when it's freezing to feed the birds, and I've now put my breakfast oats in a dark, sealable tin. 😊😊
It is a joy to see that you saw your family and returned safely. I do what you do prior to going on a longer trip, I clean my home ruthlessly!!! I like coming home to a clean, inviting space! I also hope you had no consequences from the earthquake. Best wishes for a lovely New Year ahead!!!🎉
Happy New Year! I so enjoyed this video and seeing the warmth of your country almost made me cry. I am watching you from the USA, Chicago and it is very cold here today -11F. You are an incredible strong woman who will survive any challenges.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us and making such lovely videos. I always feel better after I watch your videos, kindness and genuine attitude about life is a good example to us all. May this year bring you contentment and good health.
Hello Lou C. Happy New year. Hope this new year brings you all the good things God has planned for you. As someone who was living alone for a long time I would freeze certain things to make them last longer. Some herbs and spices, certain sauces as well. Before freezing I would do some research about the things I’m freezing to make sure the quality doesn’t get spoiled. I also had a food vacuum sealer that I used.Maybe you could try and see if this is a possibility for you. Take care always.
Such a warm video, thank you for that. I too celebrated this year with my family, I haven’t seen them almost a year because there is a war in my country 😭. Your video reminded me of that time and real values in life. Stay strong!
So very happy you got to go home dear. Please remember that not all of life is struggling. You will find your happiness just be ready for it when it finds you to recognize it. Many ppl dont recognize it until the pass it by.
Das ist ein so,so schönes und erholsames Video🙏und diese wundervolle Musik dazu.Von Herzen dankeschön liebe Lou💗Ich wünsche ihnen alles Glück der Welt🍀🌠 Liebste Grüsse aus der Schweiz🇨🇭🤲
Lou I enjoy your videos, they are so relaxing, interesting to see life in Japan. When I see the price of your groceries they seem much better than here in the states. So happy that you got to visit your family.
I'm so happy for you that you got to go home and be with family for the New Year! It's a lovely way to celebrate and create special memories. Salt is a preservative so it lasts for a very long time.
Dear Lou, so glad you could spend New Year with your family. I hope 2024 will bring you happiness and joy every day. Thank you for taking us on your journey with your delightful videos. They always put me in such a peaceful mood. Happy New Year!
Happy tears when you were with your family. I wish you the best and I would still watch if you went back home to do UA-cam as a full time job. You inspire me to do better thank you for your content. ❤
I am super happy when I see a new video from you appearing! Thank you for making my day good. I hope that you had a nice start of the new year and that it will be positive for you in every way! 😘😘😘😘
Dear LouC, so glad you were able to be with your family. Wishing you a wonderful New Year that brings your dreams to life. May life glitter for you just as your.beautiful diamond painting does. And on the hard days remember. ,"And this too shall pass." ❤
Oh Lou....I wish you didnt feel that life is a continuous battle. I know there is alot of hardship and evil but also beauty and positive experiences to be had. I will pray for you.
Hello, Lou. Nice to see you safe and healthy in 2024🎉. Pure salt and sugar (and honey) don't expire. They absorb moisture and bacteria and fungus can't attack them because they need moisture. So close the bag or container well and keep them in a dry place.
С Новым годом, красавица Лу! Очень рада что ты встретила Новый год со своей семьёй! Здоровья и счастья тебе! Не грусти, всё у тебя будет отлично! Ты молодец! Спасибо за видео!
Happy New Year to you. I'm so glad you got back to your home country and your family for New Year. The food which was cooked over the open fire looked so good and I hope you get back again soon. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
To preserve things to last longer. Flour can be put in freezer. Just put in a freezer bag and store in freezer and it will keep longer. Spices if you buy them whole seed keep longer, but should be discarded yearly because they lose their flavor. If you have sauces that come in large bottles freeze it in an ice cub tray and put in freezer bags.
I’m so glad that you were able to go home to your family for the new year. I also hope you have the best new year yet and that your dreams will come true ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m so sorry you had experienced food poisoning lou c. Happiest of new years to you. So glad you got to go home and be with your family. Blessings to you.
Great video- I felt so homesick watching the last part! It is the life in the country ( buhay probinsya) that makes us all appreciate the simple , most basic of all things. Happy New Year Lou. Be safe! I am mother based in New York. Everyone can relate to all Your videos! Keep it up! Be safe and healthy!
Hi Lou, so glad that you could spent a wonderful time at home with your precious family. Family is so important. ❤ May 2024 be your best year ever. I wish you prosperity and happiness always. Sending love and tons of blessings from South Africa.
Ms. Lou C, your time home in the Philippines looks amazing. I bet its nice to be home with family! Equally fulfilling and rewarding. God bless and Happy New Year
Lou un abrazo fuerte y que bonito es haber estado con tu familia. Que se cumplan todas tus metas, saludos desde la Ciudad de México 🇲🇽 🇯🇵eres muy bonita 🤩

Sooo glad to hear you weren't harmed by that earthquake. Praise God.
Hi Lou C my 1st week of 2024 was good left my job cause it was so awful and stressful. Have 2nd interview tomorrow for something really good.

Salt and sugar doesn't have expiring dates. They can be used for a very long time. Doesn't go bad. By the way. Love your videos❤️
As long as they are not exposed to dampness then they don’t expire
Salt is used as a preservative on many meats and things like pickles.
She’s a Filipina living in Japan ! Proud of your courage Miss Lou ! God bless you! 🙏✝️😇✅💐😍
Salt never expires because microbes cannot live in it. That's why it's used to preserve other food.
Such a heart warming video! Hugs from Sweden and wishes to achieve your dreams!❤
It was wonderful seeing how mindful you are about cleaning, cooking, traveling and being with your family. And seeing Cloudy - everyone can sense how loved he is. You are doing fine and should be proud of your accomplishments. I wish you a year of golden moments.

I hope you come close to all your goals in 2024. You are a very thoughtful and ambitious young lady and an inspiration to young people who work hard to get ahead in life. You are methodically and diligently pursuing all that you seek!!! It’s a pleasure watching you!!!
I enjoy watching your routines and your cooking
It’s relaxing
Don’t listen to anything negative or mean spirited
People like that are just jealous
Oh Lou, I'm sooo happy you got to see your family. I just got back from S.Korea visiting my daughter , the first time in 2 years since I saw her . I hope 2024 is a great year for you .
С Новым годом Лоу, всего тебе самого наилучшего, пусть все твои желания исполнятся.
Hi Lou, I just made a same pasta in my previous video too!
Nice to see you again. Wish you and all friends here a great start of 2024!

So glad you got to see your family for New Year, Lou, and so glad the earthquake didn't affect you badly. Have a blessed 2024!

Hello from Germany, you can use salt as long as you want!
Hello! 👋 now I know thank you ☺️ ❤
I'm so happy you got to go home for new Years and spend time with your family. It looks like you had a very good time. Your Mom is right. You coming home is more important then bring stuff for them. You cooked some delicious meals. Thank you for sharing with us.
Happy New Year Lou C, I am so relieved that you and your apartment are ok! Sending thoughts and prayers to everyone suffering from the earthquake 🙏! Am so happy to have a new video to watch from one of my favourite content creators, your videos are special filled with inspiration, joy and love. Even your content that is a little more thoughtful, especially on the living alone as I do too but unlike you I still live in the country I was born in and you have the added stress of living alone in a different country and I must say you are doing very well and very gracefully. I was watching some of your old content as your content/videos bring me Joy, Happiness and peace, and one of the videos you Sang in the shower! Wow you have such a beautiful Singing voice I just wanted to let you know that! Please keep up the content it really helps and brings Joy to so many people! Am really looking forward for what 2024 brings for you! You may be alone in person, but in spirit, you are not alone! Peace.

So glad you are back and safe!
May this year be the best one yet for you and your loved ones! ❤❤
Glad you are safe sweetie, and that you had a wonderful time with your family. You take care Lou. Till next time.
Glad you got to spend time with your family for New Year's Eve . Wonderful vlog. Stay strong and happy. Peace 🕊️
Happy New Year! I so enjoyed this video and seeing the warmth of your country almost made me cry. I am watching you from the USA, Chicago and it is very cold here today -11F. You are an incredible strong woman who will survive any challenges.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us and making such lovely videos. I always feel better after I watch your videos, kindness and genuine attitude about life is a good example to us all. May this year bring you contentment and good health.
Hello Lou C. Happy New year. Hope this new year brings you all the good things God has planned for you. As someone who was living alone for a long time I would freeze certain things to make them last longer. Some herbs and spices, certain sauces as well. Before freezing I would do some research about the things I’m freezing to make sure the quality doesn’t get spoiled. I also had a food vacuum sealer that I used.Maybe you could try and see if this is a possibility for you. Take care always.
Such a warm video, thank you for that. I too celebrated this year with my family, I haven’t seen them almost a year because there is a war in my country 😭. Your video reminded me of that time and real values in life. Stay strong!
So very happy you got to go home dear. Please remember that not all of life is struggling. You will find your happiness just be ready for it when it finds you to recognize it. Many ppl dont recognize it until the pass it by.
Watching your videos always makes me feel calm and relaxed.... And also hungry : I wonder why.
so glad you could visit your family, so important. I really enjoy your videos.
Das ist ein so,so schönes und erholsames Video🙏und diese wundervolle Musik dazu.Von Herzen dankeschön liebe Lou💗Ich wünsche ihnen alles Glück der Welt🍀🌠
Liebste Grüsse aus der Schweiz🇨🇭🤲
Your parents’ dog is very cute 😊❤️🐶 Glad to hear your trip was good 👍🏻 Hope your 2024 is great! 🙂
Thank you so much for your peaceful videos - I love them. Greetings from Dresden Germany ❤
Lou I enjoy your videos, they are so relaxing, interesting to see life in Japan. When I see the price of your groceries they seem much better than here in the states. So happy that you got to visit your family.
I'm so happy for you that you got to go home and be with family for the New Year! It's a lovely way to celebrate and create special memories. Salt is a preservative so it lasts for a very long time.
Super danke für die Einblicke in dein Leben! Wünsche dir von Herzen alles Liebe für deine Zukunft😘 Liebe Grüsse aus Austria (Europe)
Thank you so much Lou for showing us your day. You show very raw clips of your daily life and are not pretentious at all.
Keep going, we love you!
Dear Lou, so glad you could spend New Year with your family. I hope 2024 will bring you happiness and joy every day. Thank you for taking us on your journey with your delightful videos. They always put me in such a peaceful mood. Happy New Year!
I’m happy you got to spend New Years with your family. 🥰🙋🏼♀️
Happy tears when you were with your family. I wish you the best and I would still watch if you went back home to do UA-cam as a full time job. You inspire me to do better thank you for your content. ❤
I am super happy when I see a new video from you appearing! Thank you for making my day good. I hope that you had a nice start of the new year and that it will be positive for you in every way! 😘😘😘😘
So happy you got to spend the New Year with your family. May you come closer to achieving your goals in this new year
instead of thinking life is a battle think of it as an adventure sometimes it helps
Cara Lou, lo dico spesso pure io che la vita e' una continua lotta e che bisogna lottare per i propri sogni...che coincidenza!
Dear LouC, so glad you were able to be with your family. Wishing you a wonderful New Year that brings your dreams to life. May life glitter for you just as your.beautiful diamond painting does. And on the hard days remember. ,"And this too shall pass." ❤
Cloudy is the cutest dog!
Oh Lou....I wish you didnt feel that life is a continuous battle. I know there is alot of hardship and evil but also beauty and positive experiences to be had. I will pray for you.
Your clam pasta meal looked delicious! Next Tim try a squeeze of lemon and some lemon zest over the top tossed just before serving.
Hello, Lou. Nice to see you safe and healthy in 2024🎉. Pure salt and sugar (and honey) don't expire. They absorb moisture and bacteria and fungus can't attack them because they need moisture. So close the bag or container well and keep them in a dry place.
So happy that you got home for the New year, the music choice was so nice.
so glad you got to spend time with your family.
С Новым годом, красавица Лу! Очень рада что ты встретила Новый год со своей семьёй! Здоровья и счастья тебе! Не грусти, всё у тебя будет отлично! Ты молодец! Спасибо за видео!
You have a beautiful and very peaceful life. I really enjoy your videos
Happy New Year to you. I'm so glad you got back to your home country and your family for New Year. The food which was cooked over the open fire looked so good and I hope you get back again soon. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Peppercorns are plants and can degrade/spoil. Salt is a mineral and is good for ever. Happy New Year!
To preserve things to last longer. Flour can be put in freezer. Just put in a freezer bag and store in freezer and it will keep longer. Spices if you buy them whole seed keep longer, but should be discarded yearly because they lose their flavor. If you have sauces that come in large bottles freeze it in an ice cub tray and put in freezer bags.
Having family around to welcome a new year is priceless. Hope you have a Blessed New Year!
I'm glad you are fine after the earthquake. I hope one day you may be with your family all the time. Thank you for another video.
It’s so lovely to see you! We’ve missed you! 💜
I’m so glad that you were able to go home to your family for the new year. I also hope you have the best new year yet and that your dreams will come true ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m so sorry you had experienced food poisoning lou c. Happiest of new years to you. So glad you got to go home and be with your family. Blessings to you.
I'm so pleased you had a brilliant time with your family and friends xxx
Great video- I felt so homesick watching the last part! It is the life in the country ( buhay probinsya) that makes us all appreciate the simple , most basic of all things. Happy New Year Lou. Be safe! I am mother based in New York. Everyone can relate to all
Your videos! Keep it up! Be safe and healthy!
Thank you po ❤️

Lou un abrazo fuerte y que bonito es haber estado con tu familia. Que se cumplan todas tus metas, saludos desde la Ciudad de México 🇲🇽 🇯🇵eres muy bonita 🤩
Peppercorn is a Plant & Salt is a Rock. Rocks last a looooong time:)
I am so glad you got to visit with your family. You are such a brave smart caring person
If you add lemon slices into your microwave when you are degreasing it (water + vinegar) it will help it smell nicer! 🥰
