Love your content!! I just wanted to say in case you haven't figured out the cart yet, there's usually a tiny little knob in the middle of the bottom of the rolling cart that you pull up on, and it'll fold up nice and easy for you- we have some at my office! 🍎jam!
Oh, yes! It's definitely difficult to not worry about things but truth be told, if things are late, that's part of life - people will wait and they will rejoice when things arrive. This time of the year is tough for businesses, absolutely! BUT don't stress.. we, your followers, won't take it out on you if things are not on time! We love you, regardless of whether your manufacturers are timely or not! Hang in there, try to enjoy the holidays because they will blow by before you realize!! Hugs from New Jersey! xx Gabi
your videos are a perfect mix of aesthetic, cozy, and productive… it really makes me motivated! don't worry about coming off as whiny, we understand that small businesses will inevitably have some shipping delays. just take a breather and power through! you got this :) ty for the vlog!
🍎 jam! Thank you for another amazing vlog! It’s a reminder for all of us that we are not alone with our struggles, daily stressors and mental health battles. This too shall pass. I’m glad you’re speaking about your feelings, getting it out, spending time on self-care to help unwind after your busy days running a business. You are loved and you are an amazing person! Keep being you and also keep venting about what’s going on. It helps to get it out and have others support you. Rooting for you!
Retail worker here 🙋♀️ Take Zzquil at night. And remind yourself there is nothing you can do except for take care of the customers you have now. We have had ridiculous lines at work and I have found so much peace by just taking care of the customer at my register instead of worrying about the line. (A lesson that took 5 Holiday seasons to learn😅)
Annika - I will NEVA sip anything while watching your videos. I was drinking tea as you went down to the mailroom in your building and the combination of the notes on the wall, the shot of you shuffling away in your slippers and then the captions you wrote caused me to laugh until tea came out of my nose. I have not had that happen since I was in my teens...I am 52 now. You work so hard and because of that, your perfect and peaceful home is coming soon.
Apple Jam!! Been binging your videos the last 2 weeks for comfort content and you've really inspired me to just live my life and to enjoy the little things that I seem to have forgotten in the hustle and bustle of trying to make it in this world. So thank you for making your content and thank you to the youtube algorithm for blessing my feed with you
I definitely enjoy this raw and honest vlog and it didn't came out as too whiny at all. As I'm struggling with stress myself, I felt seen. And also inspired to take care of myself more and borrow some of your tips for a healthier night routine. ❤
I hope this period of holiday stress passes quickly and that you have some peace on the other side! I cannot imagine the stress of running your own business during the holiday rush while also filming and editing videos for us. Sending you love!
ive also been struggling with my sleeping habits as of late... with the help of my psychiatrist i figured out that giving myself 1-2 hours of no screen exposure before turning off the lights and going to sleep reallyyyy helps me feel rested in the morning. i also start slowly turning off more of my lights as the night progresses like a little sunset. also, having your eyes closed and resting even when you cant fall asleep will still do more for your energy levels than powering through!! (myth busters taught me that one) definitely saving that 🍎 jam recipe to try soon
Annika i just wanted to say that like bad times come good times come too and ik ur so stressed at the time but its okay. Take some time for ur self and sleep well. Im getting depressed too cuz of my seasonal depression and thats all i wanted to say sorry if its too cringey😭 I love you so much😭❤ -jam🍎
Aww Anika! That will all pass. I can see that you are a very hardworking person, you will go far in life. I really like your vlogs. You’re motivating me to become the best version of my self. More power to you.
🍎 jam - hi Annika! 🥹 I always watch your videos, but I feel the need to pop in the comment section to remind you that you'll never be whiny to us! Thank you for sharing the roughest parts of life, too. I totally understand what you're going through, I believe! When you've got so much to do and there's this ambition to succeed, pressure will arise from within, and you'll suddenly find your mind flooded with intrusive racing thoughts and loads of stress. However, and if it helps, I just want to remind you that you're doing well! Since I started watching you, and that was quite a while ago, you've always been such a hard - working person. I hope you find balance during this holiday season! 🎄 And again, thank you for still sharing your life, hobbies and art with us! We really value your hard work. 🩷
I have been watching all your vids annika for more than 2 and a half years and haven’t missed a vid since and I know it’s two and a half year cause I was at a friends house and told her about you and we watch you every time you posttttttt❤❤❤❤
🍎 jam My mamaw makes that apple jam but she calls it fried apples. So good with a biscuit and butter 🤤 I love the vlogs, I hope you can relax once the crazy holiday season is over 🩷
I was having trouble sleeping bc of my racing thoughts and that eventually wound up with me in the hospital. While there, they put me on a med to help me fall asleep and stop my racing thoughts. That worked great for the most part except now I get them in the day, too 😅 But medication has helped me a lot. It doesn't really make me feel any different or anything, just makes me function properly lol. But maybe talk to a psych and see about medication if your anxiety is putting such a dent in your sleep and changing the way you're able to function. The first med might not always help, and you might have to experiment a bit with your psychiatrist to find what works for you, but idk, to me it's worth it.
Ack I feel you! Nov and dec are always such stressful times, especially this time around. I started working with uni, am going through uni finals, and had a drivers examination to get my full license🫠 Not to mention the seasonal depression 'cause here in Iceland the sun rises at 11am and starts setting around 15:30 and it's really fcking cold = incredibly hard to get out of bed. I've also been dealing with a lot of self-doubt, thinking there's not much I'm actually good at. Thankfully the most stressful parts are over and guess what! I'm still breathing. You'll get through this, we'll be here to cheer you on. Just remember to take it a step at a time, focus on what you can do right now in the present moment, 'cause worrying about stuff you can't control won't change anything (but your stress and worries are valid!). Take care🩷
OMGG I have the SAME wagon and I did struggle with the closing part😂 to close the wagon you'll be able to see a pull tag (it's in the same color as the wagon so it's hard to see)in the middle of the wagon and just pull it, the wagon will close
thanks for this vlog, i had fun watching! tho i hope you get a good night sleep for the entirety of december haha hope you rest your mind. remember, one day at a time :)
Sorry to hear that you are so stressed. You're always working hard and I admire you. But sometimes all you can do is take it day by day. Don't stress too much and don't be so hard on yourself. I appreciate you a lot, your videos are the best part of my week. I believe it will all go well in the end
I don't interact much but I love your content and have been following for years 💙 I finally bought from your shop and I love my cup and Keychain. Take care friend 💙
Annika long time veiwer here I jusy wanted to say that I love your vlogs so much these days I'm often in the hospital and your vlogs really help me pass the time when I'm there ❤ never stop creating
🍎Jam! Some fruits and vegetables cause itchy hands but you're completely fine eating them. I believe it is a type of allergic reaction but your body is not necessarily allergic when you consume it. I'm not well educated on it but I definitely recommend just asking your doctor real quick next time, or even getting an allergy test❤
I also have a hard time shutting my brain off too. This is my 2nd night of no electronics within 1 hour of going to sleep. So far, not working. Last night, I remember looking at the clock, 1:30 am.... I was tired but couldn't fall asleep. What da heck 🫤😐😶 Gonna try again tonight. 🍎 jam
