Recipes I've Tried
I like to cook and bake at home, and I've been doing more of it since the pandemic began. Here are some recipes I've tried where I've enjoyed the end result!
Mango Sticky Rice
So easy to make, you're going to wonder why you hadn't made this at home sooner. I definitely did!
Recipe
Strawberry Brioche Donuts
This brioche donut with roasted strawberries, vanilla bean creme, and strawberry sugar dusting will leave you wanting one for breakfast and one for every meal's dessert. It's so good!
Recipe
Blue Bottle Liège Wafel
Lightly sweet with a bit of crunch from the pearl sugar, this is a great little treat to go with your coffee or milk!
Recipe
Bread Popcorn
Sounds weird, right? But I prefer this over kernal popcorn and it's so easy to make!
Video Tutorial/Recipe
Just Hood's Lemon Bars
There is a subreddit dedicated to a user's grandma's lemon bars recipe. It's worth the hype.

Tutorials I've Tried
Here are some tutorials I've watched, where I've posted the final outcome on my feed.
I started watercoloring in late 2019. I don't practice regularly so I'm not that good 😅 but I still like to learn when I can, and painting is very calming (even if you're not "good" at it).
I am not good at drawing, at all, but with the right tutorial, I've been able to draw passable doodles!
Plant Doodles
Dorin has a great tutorial on plant doodles. I filled a small notebook with my attempts at her doodles, and she continues to post more of them on her IG. If you don't know where to start in plant doodling, I recommend watching this video.

Watercolor Flowers
Watercolor flowers always looked so intimidating, but this tutorial broke each flower down really well. I highly recommend this tutorial if you are like me and also thought watercolor flowers looked daunting to attempt.
Watercolor Fish
This tutorial was a 4-part tutorial, showing how to paint four different scenes simultaneously. I'm not skilled enough to do all four at once so I focused only on the fish, but I'll probably revisit the tutorial later on.
Videos I Watch
ASMR, journaling, stationery, soothing vlogs, or art
I like to watch videos from these channels for inspiration or to relax. They're so well-made and quite calming 😌 I have a playlist made up of these channels' videos that I play in the bg for when I journal. IG handles are provided with channel links ~
DORI's videos are soooo relaxing to watch. She draws about her daily activities and the videos are edited really well. If you're looking for something to watch to wind down or to play in the bg while journaling or something, DORI's videos are perfect for that.

milkcloud is actually a pair of siblings (twins?) and they create aesthetically pleasing videos. They journal, vlog, and do art. They are also super into kpop and post kpop journal content. They have a few pen pals, if you want to see what that process looks like. I cannot recommend them enough!

mihan has amazing journaling videos. I love seeing her whole process and the ASMR paired with music is so soothing. She also has several pen pals and if you need inspiration for aesthetic pen pal mail, this is a great channel for that.

Sarica dabbles in many things creative: journaling, painting, drawing, handlettering. She sometimes narrates her videos and sometimes drops out to draw the viewer in with the ASMR and bg music.

This channel is run by a couple in South Korea, and it's so cute. Very idyllic and, as their name says, very cozy. Very 따뜻한~ they have a playlist for journaling because their whole channel is about more than journaling, and I recommend all their videos!

Constance hasn't posted that many videos, but they are high quality. She posts stationery hauls, vlogs, and studying videos.

I don't know how to describe these videos. I just know that I love to watch them and I want people to watch them. The calm pace, the peaceful almost meditative quiet...the videos draw you in, and they encourage you to seek the analogue lifestyle.

This links to a JetPens playlist just for pen ASMR. I love the soft scratchy sound of the pen nib gliding across paper. The videos are produced well, visually and audibly.

Nikolietta is a professional calligrapher in Russia. I can't understand anything she says, but she has a ton of dip pen ASMR videos and that's all I need to understand 😅 the flourishes and the final outcomes are so pretty; it's clear she is very skilled.

Videos I Watch
ASMR, cooking, baking, soothing / lifestyle vlogs
I like to watch videos from these channels for inspiration or to relax. Some of these videos are in vlog style, some are curated like episodes, and some are tutorials. These creators will make you laugh, make you feel nostalgic and warm, and inspire you to try something new with food. I've included their IG handles as well as links to their channels.
This channel is a mixture of lifestyle, advice, food, ASMR. You see some snippets of her home, her family, her memories, all while she's making different foods and drinks throughout.
Each video goes through several meals instead of focusing on just one, like most videos do. Each video feels like a short episode into her life; even if it may be manufactured for the screen, it still feels so real and like you want to attain it. Everything is beautiful and done with precision and care. Subtitles in Korean and English!

해그린달 haegreendal
If you're looking for cooking ASMR, easy-to-follow recipes in Korean and English, and amazing visuals, this channel is for you. Even if I'm not looking for a new recipe to try, the ASMR is enough reason for me to watch these videos.

Other accounts rely on ASMR and bg music, but this account relies solely on the sounds of the cooking/prepping. I love that the sounds don't sound harsh at all. Recipes are in English and Korean!

Another cooking ASMR channel with recipes in Korean and English, this channel has a more quaint feel than the ideal 마누라-type ones. This channel feels more relatable because it's literally just someone cooking in their apartment. Definitely feels more approachable out of the channels I've listed.

하루한끼 one meal a day
This channel feels similar to 해그린달 haegreendal, but with less bg music. Multiple meals are made and shown, and there is direct commentary by the woman behind the videos. Really feels more like a vlog instead of an episode. Subtitles are available in many languages!

This channel focuses more on ASMR, mostly of food but also of other things like slicing beeswax. Ingredients are listed in Korean and English, but subtitles are in Korean only. Should still be easy to follow, though, especially with the visuals. I also watch these videos before I sleep since they're so calming 😅

Here is the husband's channel, focusing more on lifestyle vlogs and doing things like gardening and sharpening knives.

Do you like video games? Specifically RPGs possibly like Stardew Valley? This youtuber makes food videos (calls them Cooking Quests) and edits them as if you were in a video game. 10/10 would recommend if the above channels are too slow of a pace and you need something more captivating.
