week in my life! 🛍️⭐️🌷🧡 

okay bestie, ex barista here! are you heating up your milk when mixing it with the matcha powder? that helps dissolve the matcha powder, melt the honey, and the cinnamon will mix better!!! try that (people also do that part with water)! then add in the rest of your milk & ice and that should help!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

almost an hour long vlog???? oh you spoil us! ❤️

hearing that you had a rough weekend :( just wanted to say that you are honestly my fav person on the internet, you are so sweet and pure and nothing could ever make me hate u (for real), i wish u nothing but the best sara!! i hope you’re okay 🤍

from a former barista! 1. pour the package of matcha in a bowl 2. put a bit of hot water over enough to just cover it not a lot at all or it will be watered down! 3. mix it/ froth it until it is bubbly on top 4. add honey to the bottom to the cup you will use and any other flavors you will use (syrups, cinnamon, etc.) 5. pour the hot matcha concentrate on top and mix it together to dissolve the honey and syrups into the matcha 6. add milk until your desired color! i hope this helps! :)))

gotta love a LONG Sara video! Making a tea & watching 🍵💌🎧🌷

Why this feels like a FaceTime from a bestie you haven’t talk to in a while and she is catching you up what you’ve been missing .💓💓

Heating the water to mix the matcha powder in, then adding ice & milk and all the fixings! That's always how I make my matchas at home

almost an hour of bestie Sara? My day is officially made 🥰

wait the pups curled up together at 29:25 is too cute 🥰 I can’t😍😍

I'm been having such a bad day and this video just made it so much better! So excited to dive into this hour long vlog! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

THIS VLOG WAS SOOO COZY AND WHOLESOME. Sara your vlogs feel like I'm just listening to my best friend talk about her week and I'm just so happy and invested. Also after hearing you had a rough weekend, just know we love you Sara and the haters gonna hate you because they have nothing better to do than bring people down but you are so kind and genuine so you deserve the most ❤

Sara is FEEDING us with content!!

MATCHA TIPS!! First off, using ceremonial grade match makes all the difference! it's higher quality meaning it is a little pricier but it's so worth it because it has a more prominent flavor meaning it won't just take like lightly matcha-flavored milk. Also, I recommend mixing the matcha powder with a little water first and then putting that over ice and milk I personally like that better. Hope that helps:))

sara, i just wanted to take the time to say your vlogs have become so incredibly great! i tune into and enjoy EVERY one now. shows a lot that you take feedback and work hard for your bestie subscribers. PLEASE KEEP MORE COMING, KEEP THE GOOD VIBES GOINNNN

Barista here! I make my matcha every day. The key to a good matcha is* "ceremonial-grade* powder, usually found in the asian section of your grocery store, not on amazon. It depends but you usually need to put about a teaspoon and a half. You need little electrical whisk so that it isn't clumpy. For the honey, you need to put about a tablespoon and mix it with hot water, so it's more like a syrup and blends better with the rest! I reccomend doing the mixing with just enough hot water and adding milk later,

The QUEEN has posted! I’m so excited to watch this!

ALSO as an ex barista I can vouch that all baristas love to share how we make things, it makes us feel good knowing you love it so much to have to ask hehe 😜

Dear bestie Sara, I absolutely adore your videos, you are so authentic and you have such a calm and cozy energy and I live for your aesthetic and book content! It's so nice to watch you do book shopping in barnes, which is a place I dream of visiting one day since I'm living in Germany. I'm a matcha girly as well and this is how I prepare my matcha every morning: Add one heaped teaspoon of matcha powder (the greener the better, I get mine from a small tea shop) with a bit of warm water. Then add a little bit of honey and two teaspoons of vanilla syrup. Mix it with a matcha whisk until it dissolves. Add 13.6 fl oz of your milk of choice. Then whisk it with a hand blender to create a little bit of foam. Add two ice cubes and enjoy! I hope this helps 💖

Never ever stop making these videos! ☺️☺️🤍 one of my favorite videos you do on your channel!

before watching this, I was feeling pretty sad but after the hour I spend with you, my mood got better 🩷✨ not doing the greatest mentally but besties like you who post youtube videos really does make a difference on ppl that love watching them 🥰 have a good rest of ur day 🌸🌹💗💗

almost an hour of sara is exactly what i needed this friday😊🫶🏾

seeing you be so gentle with yourself is exactly what i needed to see today

i love sara's one hour vlogs they are so comforting 🎀💌🫶🏻

I’m a barista! At my coffee shop we actually pre make the matcha powder into a syrup with a 2-1 ratio (2 matcha to 1 hot water) and doing it like this literally makes the best matcha I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend trying it!

Literally cuddling up in bed watching your videos before sleep because u are so comforting!!🥲🥹

Love you sm! I’ve been binge watching you like everyday, know that you are so loved and supported! I’m sorry you had a rough weekend ❤

i’ve been sick for two straight weeks now and your videos have brought me some much needed joy and distraction! same with the bookmark’d podcast love you so much bestie sara 😚

I gotta say, this type of long videos are the absolute best! 🥰

eee!!!! just finished all my uni assignments literally 10 minutes ago it feels like a reward that you’ve posted. i love you!!! 🎀

the amount of content recently ! I'm loving it 🩷

The little talk about laser hair removal comforted me sooo much. You literally have no idea! I went in for my first session 6 weeks ago and tomorrow I have my second but I’ve been debating on not going in for my second at all because the first session was actually so so so painful to me. Glad to know it does get better and not worse haha 😅

Book journaling and watching a long vlog = perfect 🫶🏻🫶🏻

You always make my day, sara! Hope you'll be uploading more, I really don't have anything fun to watch aside from destiny and hailey, love the trio and was hoping you'll spend a lot more and read books together as you've always said that you feel more better when you're reading together. Wish you all the best sara, I really really like youu and your videoss

literally my fav vlog of the month luv u sara!

Why am I laughing out loud picturing you falling down the stairs😭But I'm glad you are okay!! lol I also love the clip of Mochi and Sachi opening the presents❤

Current barista here!!! Here’s some tips for the best honey cinnamon (and maple syrup if you want it to taste like a cookie) matcha! 1. When mixing the water and matcha make sure it is a small amount! (.5oz per gram of matcha!) it also needs to be hot but not boiling! 2. Make honey syrup instead of straight honey! You can boil water and add it to honey in a 2:1 ratio. (2 cups water per 1 cup honey). This will make it taste a million times better I swear! 3. My fav tip is adding a splash of oat milk in with the almond milk to make it a little creamier. Love your videos and I hope this helps!!

when you talked about how attached you get to characters BESTIE MEEEE 😫 It is so bittersweet I get so attached to characters in shows and books it's like I am actually right there, their emotions deadass become mine And I love it but also absolutely hate it cause I literally cannot read books that get very deep cause they emotionally destroy me But books like that are so freaking good 😫

your weekly vlogs are like behind the scenes of all your videos i love it 💗💗💗 and an hour long too?! we are blessed WAIT EDIT: zayn's album came out today and it's so good!!! grateful and stardust are my faves :')

Sara you always brighten up my day with your new Vlogs and I really really love this kind of vlogs a lot and I wish you have a beautiful week ahead 💓

Watched that whole thing in one go and loved every second of it, thank you😫🫶🏼

Hi Sara, from my experience making them at home (also was a barista in Starbucks) we would always add hot water to dissolve the powder. Then you get the full intensity of the matcha. ❤ love your cozy videos.

Happy one year of bookmarkd!!! Also thank you so much for the hour long vlog

Also a barista here! When ppl add honey to their matcha, I use hot water (whatever milk you’re using can work too, but it’s easy to burn so be careful!). First step.. add the amount of honey and cinnamon you want then use a small amount of hot water to liquify. Then, add matcha powder and a little more hot water and mix until powder turns completely liquid. Then add milk and stir. Then add ice! I hope this helps!! 😊 Also, it may be worth using the same milk or matcha the coffee shops you go to use. That will make it taste similar at home!

Hi bestie, the best matcha powder that I use at my work is in a can, it usually is fresher that way! Also when doing your honey and cinnamon mix it with a small bit of water and mix the matcha with a small bit of water as well! (It also helps getting a brush and bowl to really make it nice and mixed)

awe i loved this video! and appreciate you letting us see more of your day to day life!

The way this was just the best video to watch after a whole week of work. My Friday evening has fully been made. P.s- Sara giving us a whole 57 minutes!!!!

ALMOST AN HOUR SARA??? omg i love you so much you have no idea 🩷

Girl i love when your vlogs are so long!!!❤

can’t wait to rewatch this in a year in my bookmark’d sweatshirt

vlogs are definitely my favorite videos from you!!

Sara: “I literally have no idea why the back of my phone is shattered.” Also Sara: *drops/slams her phone against the wall* 😂 love it ❤

YAY! i’m excited to watch as always girl!👏🏽💗

For matcha, mix the powder with some hot water & your choice of sweetener - either maple syrup or honey! Then add milk to cup of ice and top it with the matcha!! Makes the best matcha!🤌🏼

A french bestie here, i was at N2 of the Taylor Swift Paris concert. I had goosebumps when the TTPD part of the show started. The entire concert was incredible, my mind is replaying it daily since then 😭 I’ve been a silent viewer for the past two years but I wanted to tell you that I love your videos 🫶

I loved this video so much !! very thankful for you and your channel💕💕

Ive been feeling a bit off lately so I finished studying I've snuggled up with some books, a nice latte ,my bf's hoodie and watching your vlog in hopes of feeling better ❤❤

barista here! we make our matcha by dissolving the powder in a bit of hot water first (around 3-4 tablespoons) and then once it's mixed we add the milk! I would suggest adding the honey into the hot water mixture as well so it mixes properly!!! Hope this helps :]

Matcha lover here! I think the biggest difference is to use ceremonial grade Japanese matcha. Dissolve it in room temperature water with your sweetener (I use plain sugar) and with a whisk/electric wisk, and then add your milk. I usually like to do 1 part water 2 parts milk.

Yesss spoiling us with 1hr long video love it

cozy weekly vlog & I love it, Sara! ❤

I love how your dogs open the gifts 🎁 so cute 🥰

I was having such a bad day, seeing bestie Sarah post made my day ❤

omg yesss my favorite person posted again, my day can't get any better than this

as someone who drinks matcha almost everyday here's a couple tips! -whisk the matcha powder with water with either a matcha whisk or electric frother. you don't need a full cups worth of water just enough to make sure it mixes into the water so you can add to your milk later on. you don't need hot water to do this but if you want to warm up it up it will mix faster -for iced i like to put ice, milk, and then the matcha mix so that it doesn't settle to the bottom a easily -maple syrup is the way to go as far as sweeteners go! you don't have to worry about melting it like you would honey and it's not sugarly like a liquid sweetener syrup would be hope that helps! if not then it could really just be the matcha that you're using (i've never tried the trader joes one so i'm not sure) but wegman's has a bunch of great matchas and even costco too!

An hour long video! I’m so excited

Omg almost an hour long!! Lysm sara x

Watching this right before bed. It like a reward. 😽

An hour long vlog from sara! Day has been made!

Perfect way to start my day with a new Sara video ❤️

Omg I love these long chatty vlogs!! 🫶🏻🩷

we need more "week in my life" videos from Sara!!❤

Saturday morning and an hour long vlog from Sara, yes!

AN HOUR LONG VLOG OMAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAD LESSSSSGOOOOOO QUEEN

Current Starbucks supervisor here, 💚 Try using a small amount of warm water, like 2 tablespoons, to mix your matcha and your honey into until both are dissolved completely, then add ice and your almond milk

for my matcha lattes i make a matcha shot with like 2-4 oz of water and then i pour it over a 3/4 filled glass of oat milk and ice and then top it with 2 little pours of my vanilla syrup. it’s truly so good

I feel so motivated to get my life together after watching this video 🫶🏼❤️📖

It’s so exciting that you get to design something with a brand!

19:30 seeing the dogs look at the camera is so wholesome ❤

Finally my Friday night is completed by bestie Sara! 🎀💖🍒

I loveeee the republic of tea matcha tea bags. You just make it in hot water like regular tea, add in your honey and cinnamon, transfer to another glass and add ice and a splash of milk. Super yummy and creamy. It normally isn’t green though because it’s a bag instead of powder. But that also means no matcha chunkies

An hour long vlog from from Sara?! We’re blessed 😍

omg sara i have an double sided octobuddy too but i realised it just doesn’t stick to like the printing on my skinnydip case for some reason, but it does work on all my other cases!💘

Bestie!! Here’s my fav way to make matcha: start with 2 tsp quality matcha powder (ippodo tea is my go to) and whisk in like 6 tbsp hot (not boiling) water with a matcha whisk in a “W” motion until there are no clumps. For sweetener, I prefer maple syrup over honey and I usually will mix it in with the hot matcha concentrate. Pour the matcha concentrate over ice (if you’re having it iced) then add a little of the Trader Joe’s brown sugar oat milk creamer. if you want a latte then add your fav milk but my fav is having it with 1/2 almond milk 1/2 water for a stronger matcha taste!

My full time job at the moment is watching all of the youtube girlies new videos❤❤

I'm not a barista but an avid matcha lover. A bamboo whisk to mix in the hot water with the matcha helps it dissolve well. Then use that to melt the honey and mix in the cinnamon. Hopefully that will help!!

Love all your vlogs so much 💕

also using maple syrup is so good in matcha!!

Omg Sara I love ur videos and I follow you on goodreads ur book reports and ur videos are soo good I love u sm

The frustration with matcha is SO REAL. i feel the same way and have tried so many different ones 😩

Omg you just made my day better by uploading a video
