Dear you 💚 I hope you’re safe. I realize that I wasn’t conveying my message in the best way, for that I’m truly sorry. I understand how it can make you feel frustrated. I will always encourage you to take care of your mental health and stay informed in a way that equips you to be a part of a positive change while showing respect for what’s going on, at the same time
I truly love and admire how you value the small moments in life ❤ enjoying nature, friends and family and finding new ways to grow is so wonderful. Also I had to stop looking at my phone in the morning for the same reason too and I completely agree I feel so much better without it. Glad you’re doing well!
Thank you for putting in words about the media what I couldn't. I don't want to be ignorant to world events, but I can't for my own mental health read every clickbait article with horrific details. Glad to see you're taking care of yourself, we love a soft queen.
Sissel my Angel,I know you've heard this probably a hundred times but please never stop making these kind of calming videos 💚And congrats on your Visa,you did that👏
It makes me happy when I'm spending time with myself, meditating and listening to good music. All of these things make me and my body feel so good in a way that's hard to explain with words. I'm happy when I'm in the moment. Just breathing and enjoying the stillness. Love you Sissel, hope you continue sharing your journey with us.
So many things I want to comment on today. I loved the energy in the video and little messages you were sharing with us. And please do share your new business journey, I love all the content about it and am verrrry nosy 😅 When it comes to the tragedy I wanted to share my POV and how your words might have come across to some. I do know that you were coming from a place of love and had only good intentions. We are all humans and finding words for the tragic situation is not easy. Nevertheless I think it’s important to not close your eyes when bad things happen. One, not everyone is in a privileged position to do that because many might be directly affected by it. And two, life unfortunately doesn’t only consists of beautiful moments. The bad parts are part of it and I do think it’s everyone’s responsibility to be as aware as possible. Otherwise change will be immensely painful and hard to achieve. Of course we have the choice on what kind of sources we use, what kind of information we want to look deeper into and watching videos with gruesome scenes by bystanders are not necessary and completely unacceptable. But focusing on gentle news only will result in an environment where everyone only cares about themselves and that’s not self care in my opinion, but ignorance. Of course, this is also just my opinion and not an absolute truth. But I still wanted to share. Sending you love 💗
I love what you say, I absolutely agree. Except, I never want to encourage people to close their eyes, I don’t recall saying that haha. With gentle news I don’t mean positive news, I mean news outlets that’s not plastered in photos of death and horrors but is still informing. There’s many ways to do this and I think it was an important message to people who are really overwhelmed to remember that there are still beauty left. That doesn’t mean to turn a blind eye to tragedy. I do realize I haven’t explained myself good enough in the video, but I hope you understand 💚
I had a bit of distaste for that portion of the video and I think you did an an awesome job of articulating why. Her response to you makes it seem she didn't mean for it to come across that way though so no hate to Sissel.
@@Goldenhuny06 I agree 100%! and I understand how hard it is to talk about it and to find the right words. Her responses show she had/has good intentions.
The cyber sickness is so true, I try to stay away from my phone as much as I can too cause it makes me feel physically sick! I agree about the media, I never watch TV anymore and of course I avoid the news. I try to be informed in a more gentle way, horrific news trigger me and make me feel awful cause I'm also a huge empath. Beautiful video Sissel, love you too 💕
Hi Sissel, I watched your video a bit late, I had a hectic week, and decided to keep your video for my Saturday morning, eating my fresh pain au chocolat with a coffee, and what a nice feeling. You never disappoint ☺️. I feel calm and ready for the day now. I hope that you had an amazing week as well and thank you for such a nice video and sending this beautiful and calming vibe. I wish you the best 🤎
Still always waiting for that notification ... Even if i miss it, once i see it, i feel happy and warm inside before I watch .. that's the point we've become at Sissel .. thank you for making my heart warm always .. 🥰
This year, just a few months ago, I lost my father. I've never gotten along with vulnerability - I've even tried to hide it all along - but since I've been following you, and that's a long time ago, that attitude has changed a little, thank you sissel for transmitting so much! It is very pleasant for me to see you and hear you. I send you the best vibes & 🌻🍀
At the end of the video, you mention the fact that it has been a long time since you and Jack went to a date. I think that it could be really interesting to talk about balancing personal growth (work and personal time) with your life as a couple. I think that's something that can be difficult to do and would love to hear how you are dealing with this
thank you for sharing the different ways we can find happiness, I’m excited to go forward & find the parts of my life that give me happiness & be more aware of that
Thank you Sissel. I could really feel your emotions when you talked about the tragedy. I could see you were close to tears. It doesn't matter what else you said and what other people say.... in this you have already far surpassed all other Korea youtubers (i mean the ones i follow) this week. No authentic heartfelt truth from any of them. At least not this week. Maybe next week, but it is already late. And even in your video about happiness, I cried with you. So thank you for letting us see your pain. We share that pain and mourn with you. Thank you for not just giving us some caption or some title-card.
This video was so wholesome and i really needed this, i´m not doing well this days and this just reminded me that life is worth the fight, so thank you for making this raw yet beautiful content inside out.
I love your videos and content but as others have pointed out, I had to stop at the part where you were talking about what happened in Itaewon because it felt a little tone deaf. While I think it is indeed important to focus on your own mental health, your speech came out as extremely privileged. Of course some type of medias are better than others, but giving place and staying informed about such tragedies is important, these situations are what real people go through everyday. I don’t know if I explained my opinion well but that’s what I wanted to point out. Sending you love!
I respect your opinion, but I think you’ve misunderstood my point. There are so many ways to stay healthily informed. Social media was absolutely plastered in videos and gruesome photos of victims, that’s not only disrespectful to the victims but also extremely traumatic for someone to see. There’s nothing tone deaf nor privileged about reminding people to take care of themselves and healthily consume media 💚
I absolutely adore Sissel and her vlogs and really appreciate everything she does,so I felt a need to comment below this video. I agree with Sissel statement,that we can not stay informed of everything happening in the world and should take care of our mind and health.But what I understood this year,being in the center of horrible tragedies happening,is that at the very first place we should stay people and take care of each other,we should educate ourselves for ourselves and to prevent horrible things happening.Escaping the reality isn’t the best helper and unfortunately,it isn’t something you understand immediately.I feel like lots of people who are in difficult situation right now,such as war or Itaewon tragedy need our attention,cause that’s how we are staying people by supporting others,being attentive and kind to each other. To grow empathy towards others and let yourself feel a grief for other people without self destruction is where I find a balance,but it can be different for others.❤
I agree, but there are many other ways to do that rather than listen to mainstream media or being bombarded with misinformation and gruesome photos on social media. If this is harming our mental health we do more harm than good to the world by continuing to expose ourselves to it. There are so many ways to help and thankfully so many great places to stay informed in a humane and gentle way 💚
People critic you, but I hope that you'll alow them to do it as their coping mechanism and it won't affect *you* in the first place because I totally agree with all that you've said, and those who don;t understand you just cannot imagine them on your place with your story and your energies You were talking about *the consumption* of negative news, they are arguing about *awareness* and those are *different* topics. I hope more people will understand this difference
I really enjoy your content and the way you bring calmness, however I think it’s really problematic to look for softer media outlets, I understand the intention ofc it is difficult to read and stay informed about topics that are horrible. However it’s within your agency to bring awareness, stay informed and get active. You are in a privileged position and it doesn’t seem like you reflect that very well. A lot of topics (including climate crisis, international politics, war etc) are difficult to deal with, however as someone who has possibilities to participate in change and spreading awareness it is ignorant to remove yourself from these Issues. If you look at why news and media are written and portrayed it becomes clear that there also often is an advocacy for change, for example if you compare mainstream media within most democratic countries vs. Unitary one party states (like China for example) you can observe that the media within those states is a lot „softer“ and „positive“, because it discourages strong emotions which will cause actions. So removing yourself from that and looking for other media sources is actually very dangerous. You can do some research on media studies as well as activism and political science, but that opinion is problematic. This doesn’t mean that you have to confront yourself with very explicit and gruesome images, but you have to stay informed and aware, most parts of the world still are a harsh reality that cannot be romanticised and some of the marginalised groups or people don‘t have the privilege and opportunities to speak openly, being able to stay informed and think critically is something you should never give up. There are other coping mechanisms to use when things get „too much“ but while you are just reading about those topics, for a lot of people it’s their daily life or reality, ignoring that won’t bring any change and you therefore indirectly reinforce these problems. You have responsibility and agency as a person and that’s tough but also a great gift.
Thank you for clarifying your opinion. I completely agree with almost everything you say and I could’ve went deeper to make my point more clear in my video. My point as mentioned is that I strongly believe we should never stay informed at the expense of our mental health. That’s all. There’s a possibility to be informed, healthily, under the circumstances you describe without hurting yourself 💚
Okay that makes sense, I think it just was a bit unclear for some of us. Thank you for clarifying Sissel and you’re right that is a very valid point. 🧡
Indeed. I love her content but had to pause that part of the video and immediately thought about how loved ones of the victims of the tragedy would feel about the statement. I think it’s healthy to disengage from some platforms if it affects you so badly, but I guess the timing was not right and so it comes across as tone-deaf. Maybe it could have been expounded further. And while I agree that there are videos about the tragedy that shouldn't have been published, media can cause the demand for accountability from the people who could've done something to prevent the tragedy. It’s a balancing act, looking within and looking outside. What if the real self-help is taking care of our mental health and at the same time talking about injustices to help raise awareness and hopefully demand accountability so they won’t happen again? Self-help doesn’t need to end with us. I would have loved to hear something along those lines.
Hey Sis 🤍 I’ve been here in your channel for years, and you’ve never lost your essence. Congratulations for your visa, you did it!!!!! I love you and respect you as all human beings should. Sending good energy from Brazil 🇧🇷
You go woman! ❤ Love the words and thoughts about intentional living in this video. I would also like to see videos about you sharing your business journey especially since I’m also trying to start a business while working my full time day job in hopes that my business will let me quit the day job. 😅
Ah, those eclipse energies that force us to let go of what doesn't work for us ^^ thank you for the term cybersickness! Now I know what it called and somehow, having a name to it makes me feel that it could be easier for me to refuse to use my phone so much
finally another relaxing and comfortable video to enjoy 🍃☀ thank you sissel for speaking openly and inspiring us to find new purposes to appreciate more the small things 🤍 also very very proud of you to not give up for the stress of the new visa: cheers to not be an alien anymoree ahah
this is the video i needed :) recently i have been feeling a little down and definitely anxious about so many things but mostly school and, somehow, my future… i also felt guilty about not being productive enough, crying so easily and not taking care as much as i want of my dear ones.. but sometimes in order to take care of others, you have to put yourself first and care about you in the first place and that does not mean you are being selfish or anything :) but it took me quite a while to understand that ahah! anyways, thanks for the joy you bring us sissel
I absolutely adore you Sissel, you calm me down and motivate me to enjoy my life instead of stressing about it.I also love your stle like ughhh sage green is the way to go so I NEED TO KNOW WHERE DID YOU GET THAT LOVELY COZY SWEATER HOODIE THAT YOU ARE WEARING AT THE BEGINING OF THIS VIDEO IT'S SO CUTEEEE
Didn't really enjoy this vlog this week becos like you mentioned it didn't come off right but I have watched alot of your videos so I know it wasn't your intention. Happy you were safe and I know you have received alot of negative feedback but you learn and grow from it. Keep going ♥
I don’t see this feedback as negative, I see it as people expressing their concern and opinions that’s ultimately there for all of us to grow and learn, especially me in this situation. It’s beautiful, especially because everyone is always so nice here, as we all should 💚
Dear Sissel. I read some people are not happy about how you've addressed the Itaewon topic and everyone has their own mindset and deals with sorrow/loss differently. Maybe the timing of the vlog has made them feel that way, because many are still suffering. But that doesn't mean your vlog content is wrong. It shows YOUR way of dealing with it and you've decided to leave out the Halloween parts you've shot, which in my opinion was the best decision. You've also mentioned how much you were affected emotionally by this terrible tragedy and I can only imagine how heartbroken you must have felt knowing you were close to the area that night and realising the horrors that people were going through (I myself was feeling so empty and sad for days, even though I live far away and haven't been affected personally in any way.). Maybe the viewers wanted you to show all your emotions to the public and because you didn't - this might have rubbed them the wrong way. How they feel is understandable by all means. 💔 Now I want to talk about this Vlog aside of that. This has to be one of my favorite Vlogs you've made. Why? Because it's about happiness and has comforted me. It's also about grief, but it's about being able to recover from it which is a really hard thing to do, but also essential for your health and wellbeing. It shows: if you give yourself the time to grieve, you'll become happy again. It is an incredible strength within us we don't appreciate enough. I absolutely love your thoughts on fullfillment 😌 The following is just sharing my own opinion with you: You know, whenever someone was speculating about the meaning of life I always had a clear answer: Love!! Everything evolves around love. Family, friends, your partner, yourself, your pets etc....But as I got older I realised: Love may be a big romanticized contender. I now believe the true meaning of life is happiness! Because in order to experience the highest feeling of love you need another being. Self love is great, but is it the highest feeling? No, if you love someone or something it is the ultimate form of love. But love can also hurt, love can make you feel bad. And love can also be lost. Happiness on the other hand can be found in the smallest things and unexpected moments. In fact it's always there waiting for you, when you need it. You just gotta find a way to get in touch with it. Even as we get older and until the rest of our lives we are able to find happiness. With, but even without love. And the highest form of happiness is actually within yourself. Isn't it magical?! 😌 So: thanx for showing us what makes you happy, because it reminds us to look for our own happiness, too💚
I am so in love with the way you work out the colors in your videos ❤ the light and the color palette is very relaxing 🪷 Have a good one Sissel, hope you are well !
honestly, you have grown into my absolute favorite CZcamsr over the years. the comfort you and your videos radiate is something I don't get from anywhere else on social media. so thankful for your existence
This is my first time to watch your video but I feel like I watch a movie :) I can feel an autumn vibe through your video. Glad you are having a great time in Korea❤
I'm Korean who like learning English, so there gonna be some mistakes in my sentence..haha If there are any mistake, I'll appreciate to give me some feed back
I see a lot of these comments about how you could have rephrased the tragedy, but I would like to show some support for your side of the story. I agree with you - from a third party POV. Yes indeed there are true victims and nothing can take away from that. It was a tragedy that can be avoided and may they rest in peace. But from a audience / bystander POV, overconsumption of the media about disasters and tragedy HAS an impact on audience lives. I don’t even live in Korea but I see and had searched for happenings of the tragedy for hours days and weeks after the event. Seeing or having that access to actual footage of the event is sufficient to cause PTSD. Yes of course less PTSD via media is NOTHING compared to being in that crowd, but even professionals have said that media viewers from both Korea and internationally have sent warning to audience need to restraint themselves from seeking out footages. What I mean is that, it is possible to be affected. Yes we must care for the actual victims, but that doesn’t mean we turn a blind eye to our own mental health. And i’m sure Sissel means that too
and it makes me happy watching your videos!!! They do help me relax and chill so much!! Big hugs in these hard times sent your way, and I completely agree on what you mention about the news. Since the pandemic I'm trying so hard to keep myself out of watching news, it's bad for my mental health Big hugs
Your skin looking so fresh, glowy and healthy 😮 seeing you happy , gives me peace and projects me to think of my life that needs to be changed to be happy and not regret and feel sad afterwards
I'm extremely grateful to have found your videos, they give me such peace and makes me self reflect sometimes. Your videos make me romanticize life and makes me motivated to do things when I'm feeling anxious or not feeling good. So thank you so, so much! 💜🤍
I love your meditations btw, any you would recommend and will there be more meditations on after sunset? Also happy you're finding happiness and being happy ☺️💓
This is exactly what I needed today! In the last weeks I found it so hard to be happy while facing everything that's going on on this planet and I also had a lot of struggles in my personal life. Sometimes it's so hard to find the balance and peace for your inner self, but it's so important and your videos help me with that a lot. Your channel really has become my safe space over the last years and I'm beyond grateful for that! Sending all the love🤍
Can you tell me what sun lamp is in your living room? I realised it's something I NEED in my life right now since the winter is coming and I'm lacking sunlight...
hello Sissel !! thank you for this healing vlog that truly helps me to go throught this (sometimes) autumn gloomy mood and hard studying. Where do you find your beautiful hairclips/hairpins? Love you and stay safe!
@@sisselab do you remember on which online websites ? because I unfortunately don’t live in a place where you can find street sellers like in Seoul (I live in Paris, I think you can remember that it is not the kind of trend haha).
@@sisselab oh wow ! Big steps !!! You’re doing amazing sweetie 🖤 would be interesting to hear about this transition to being an independent content creator in Korea as a foreigner, visa process, brand sponsorships etc, only if you’re comfortable of course. Best of luck queen 🖤
Btw I forgot what's the name of the three colour thing you talked about also with Buddhist beliefs (I'm not sure what I'm saying), I've been wanting to look it up more
@@sisselab yes and something about 3 types of mathras or something like that i have a terrible memory and can't remember which vlog you talked about it
This felt so good to watch 💕 Thank you for the part about media, I've been trying to stay away from media because of how it makes me feel but I still feel guilty ... So it helps a lot calming this. Also I had a huge smile for the rest of the video : I was genuilly so happy just watching this kind of content so thank you for making it 🧡

Im an iranian woman and the thing is the attention the world gave us saved a lot of lives in iran. So every time we had world's attention the regime was less horrible so hearing the news acctually helps people but i totally agree we should allways put our mental health first . And thanks for mentioning us .
Sissel, I know your intentions are not to hurt anyone, but your response on the Itaewon tragedy comes off a little flippant. You're right, it is impossible to keep yourself informed on all the tragedies around the world and its not healthy to do so. But there is a healthy medium. Looking at the world through this detached lens hurts people. Its kind of a disservice to the victims to keep yourself insulated from what happened or even redirect the narrative to 'negative media'. Idk I guess I'm just a little disappointed by this response.
I absolutely adore Sissel and her vlogs and really appreciate everything she does,so I felt a need to comment below this video. I agree with Sissel statement,that we can not stay informed of everything happening in the world and should take care of our mind and health.But what I understood this year,being in the center of horrible tragedies happening,is that at the very first place we should stay people and take care of each other,we should educate ourselves for ourselves and to prevent horrible things happening.Escaping the reality isn’t the best helper and unfortunately,it isn’t something you understand immediately.I feel like lots of people who are in difficult situation right now,such as war or Itaewon tragedy need our attention,cause that’s how we are staying people by supporting others,being attentive and kind to each other.

Tbh Im living in a country where everyday we face a new disaster. I was spending too much time on twitter untill I had horrible panic attacks and soon after diagnosed with panic disorder and anxiety. Some people (like me) are too sensitive to world around them, that they can end up breaking. I dont suggest anyone like me to read the news. I think its better for them to live blindly. I know that sounds horrible but I realise the only think that accually matters is you and your health. Its really a difficult situation to decide whats right or whats wrong. But thats what I came up with. Ive cared enough to a point where I lose my shit. I dont want to care anymore.
@anem G I respect your response, but I think you’ve misunderstood what I said. I didn’t say to live isolated, I said to look for healthier media outlets and never prioritize being informed over your mental health. I was there, I was feeling the heaviness of the country for days, and it was horrible. I couldn’t shake those inhumane photos and videos disrespectful people posted of the victims from my eyes. So I withdrew myself and that made me able to mourn and heal. If you ask me, I strongly disagree that this is a disservice to the victims 💚
@@katya0112398 absolutely agree! Please do not stay aside of news. Yes maybe some photo will make u sad for a second. But imagine what people feels on this picture in real life. Im from Ukraine and I know what person feel from different size of the story. Your support will help a lot! ❤️
Dear you 💚 I hope you’re safe. I realize that I wasn’t conveying my message in the best way, for that I’m truly sorry. I understand how it can make you feel frustrated.

giving space to tragedy is important, because tragedy is as real as romantic and beautiful things

I agree with Sissel statement,that we can not stay informed of everything happening in the world and should take care of our mind and health.But what I understood this year,being in the center of horrible tragedies happening,is that at the very first place we should stay people and take care of each other,we should educate ourselves for ourselves and to prevent horrible things happening.Escaping the reality isn’t the best helper and unfortunately,it isn’t something you understand immediately.I feel like lots of people who are in difficult situation right now,such as war or Itaewon tragedy need our attention,cause that’s how we are staying people by supporting others,being attentive and kind to each other.
To grow empathy towards others and let yourself feel a grief for other people without self destruction is where I find a balance,but it can be different for others.❤
I agree, but there are many other ways to do that rather than listen to mainstream media or being bombarded with misinformation and gruesome photos on social media. If this is harming our mental health we do more harm than good to the world by continuing to expose ourselves to it. There are so many ways to help and thankfully so many great places to stay informed in a humane and gentle way 💚
People critic you, but I hope that you'll alow them to do it as their coping mechanism and it won't affect *you* in the first place
because I totally agree with all that you've said, and those who don;t understand you just cannot imagine them on your place with your story and your energies
You were talking about *the consumption* of negative news, they are arguing about *awareness* and those are *different* topics. I hope more people will understand this difference
Thanks love 💚 it doesn’t bother me, I think they just misunderstood 🥰
I really enjoy your content and the way you bring calmness, however I think it’s really problematic to look for softer media outlets, I understand the intention ofc it is difficult to read and stay informed about topics that are horrible. However it’s within your agency to bring awareness, stay informed and get active. You are in a privileged position and it doesn’t seem like you reflect that very well. A lot of topics (including climate crisis, international politics, war etc) are difficult to deal with, however as someone who has possibilities to participate in change and spreading awareness it is ignorant to remove yourself from these Issues.
If you look at why news and media are written and portrayed it becomes clear that there also often is an advocacy for change, for example if you compare mainstream media within most democratic countries vs. Unitary one party states (like China for example) you can observe that the media within those states is a lot „softer“ and „positive“, because it discourages strong emotions which will cause actions. So removing yourself from that and looking for other media sources is actually very dangerous. You can do some research on media studies as well as activism and political science, but that opinion is problematic.
This doesn’t mean that you have to confront yourself with very explicit and gruesome images, but you have to stay informed and aware, most parts of the world still are a harsh reality that cannot be romanticised and some of the marginalised groups or people don‘t have the privilege and opportunities to speak openly, being able to stay informed and think critically is something you should never give up.
There are other coping mechanisms to use when things get „too much“ but while you are just reading about those topics, for a lot of people it’s their daily life or reality, ignoring that won’t bring any change and you therefore indirectly reinforce these problems. You have responsibility and agency as a person and that’s tough but also a great gift.
Thank you for clarifying your opinion. I completely agree with almost everything you say and I could’ve went deeper to make my point more clear in my video. My point as mentioned is that I strongly believe we should never stay informed at the expense of our mental health. That’s all. There’s a possibility to be informed, healthily, under the circumstances you describe without hurting yourself 💚
Okay that makes sense, I think it just was a bit unclear for some of us. Thank you for clarifying Sissel and you’re right that is a very valid point. 🧡
Indeed. I love her content but had to pause that part of the video and immediately thought about how loved ones of the victims of the tragedy would feel about the statement. I think it’s healthy to disengage from some platforms if it affects you so badly, but I guess the timing was not right and so it comes across as tone-deaf. Maybe it could have been expounded further.
And while I agree that there are videos about the tragedy that shouldn't have been published, media can cause the demand for accountability from the people who could've done something to prevent the tragedy.
It’s a balancing act, looking within and looking outside. What if the real self-help is taking care of our mental health and at the same time talking about injustices to help raise awareness and hopefully demand accountability so they won’t happen again? Self-help doesn’t need to end with us. I would have loved to hear something along those lines.
Hey Sis 🤍 I’ve been here in your channel for years, and you’ve never lost your essence. Congratulations for your visa, you did it!!!!! I love you and respect you as all human beings should.
Sending good energy from Brazil 🇧🇷

Ah, those eclipse energies that force us to let go of what doesn't work for us ^^ thank you for the term cybersickness! Now I know what it called and somehow, having a name to it makes me feel that it could be easier for me to refuse to use my phone so much
Omg so true 💚

finally another relaxing and comfortable video to enjoy 🍃☀ thank you sissel for speaking openly and inspiring us to find new purposes to appreciate more the small things 🤍 also very very proud of you to not give up for the stress of the new visa: cheers to not be an alien anymoree ahah
Cheers to that for sure ! 💚
It makes me HAPPY to watch your videos, thank you so much
Thank YOU 💚
this is the video i needed :) recently i have been feeling a little down and definitely anxious about so many things but mostly school and, somehow, my future… i also felt guilty about not being productive enough, crying so easily and not taking care as much as i want of my dear ones.. but sometimes in order to take care of others, you have to put yourself first and care about you in the first place and that does not mean you are being selfish or anything :) but it took me quite a while to understand that ahah! anyways, thanks for the joy you bring us sissel
I wish for so much love on your growth journey forward 💚🥹
I absolutely adore you Sissel, you calm me down and motivate me to enjoy my life instead of stressing about it.I also love your stle like ughhh sage green is the way to go so I NEED TO KNOW WHERE DID YOU GET THAT LOVELY COZY SWEATER HOODIE THAT YOU ARE WEARING AT THE BEGINING OF THIS VIDEO IT'S SO CUTEEEE
Didn't really enjoy this vlog this week becos like you mentioned it didn't come off right but I have watched alot of your videos so I know it wasn't your intention. Happy you were safe and I know you have received alot of negative feedback but you learn and grow from it. Keep going ♥
I don’t see this feedback as negative, I see it as people expressing their concern and opinions that’s ultimately there for all of us to grow and learn, especially me in this situation. It’s beautiful, especially because everyone is always so nice here, as we all should 💚
Dear Sissel. I read some people are not happy about how you've addressed the Itaewon topic and everyone has their own mindset and deals with sorrow/loss differently. Maybe the timing of the vlog has made them feel that way, because many are still suffering.
But that doesn't mean your vlog content is wrong. It shows YOUR way of dealing with it and you've decided to leave out the Halloween parts you've shot, which in my opinion was the best decision. You've also mentioned how much you were affected emotionally by this terrible tragedy and I can only imagine how heartbroken you must have felt knowing you were close to the area that night and realising the horrors that people were going through (I myself was feeling so empty and sad for days, even though I live far away and haven't been affected personally in any way.). Maybe the viewers wanted you to show all your emotions to the public and because you didn't - this might have rubbed them the wrong way. How they feel is understandable by all means. 💔
Now I want to talk about this Vlog aside of that. This has to be one of my favorite Vlogs you've made. Why? Because it's about happiness and has comforted me. It's also about grief, but it's about being able to recover from it which is a really hard thing to do, but also essential for your health and wellbeing. It shows: if you give yourself the time to grieve, you'll become happy again. It is an incredible strength within us we don't appreciate enough.
I absolutely love your thoughts on fullfillment 😌 The following is just sharing my own opinion with you: You know, whenever someone was speculating about the meaning of life I always had a clear answer: Love!! Everything evolves around love. Family, friends, your partner, yourself, your pets etc....But as I got older I realised: Love may be a big romanticized contender. I now believe the true meaning of life is happiness! Because in order to experience the highest feeling of love you need another being. Self love is great, but is it the highest feeling? No, if you love someone or something it is the ultimate form of love. But love can also hurt, love can make you feel bad. And love can also be lost. Happiness on the other hand can be found in the smallest things and unexpected moments. In fact it's always there waiting for you, when you need it. You just gotta find a way to get in touch with it. Even as we get older and until the rest of our lives we are able to find happiness. With, but even without love. And the highest form of happiness is actually within yourself. Isn't it magical?! 😌
So: thanx for showing us what makes you happy, because it reminds us to look for our own happiness, too💚
I looooove your thoughts, thank you so much 💚
I'm so into your vlogs ❤❤❤ keep going
OMG！Finally wait until you release it! I thought you also went to Litaiyuan and was worried about death!😂
I am so in love with the way you work out the colors in your videos ❤ the light and the color palette is very relaxing 🪷 Have a good one Sissel, hope you are well !
Thank you so much! 💚
That was really sad to hear about itaewon ! And the new photos of urs with mature makeup really suits you 💚 stay safe siss💚💚💚
💚
Take care of yourself Sissel💚
honestly, you have grown into my absolute favorite CZcamsr over the years. the comfort you and your videos radiate is something I don't get from anywhere else on social media. so thankful for your existence
You’re so sweet 🥹💚
This is my first time to watch your video but I feel like I watch a movie :) I can feel an autumn vibe through your video. Glad you are having a great time in Korea❤
I'm Korean who like learning English, so there gonna be some mistakes in my sentence..haha If there are any mistake, I'll appreciate to give me some feed back
Thank you so much 💚
I would loovveee to have a video abt your business journey!!!🤩🤩
Got it! 💚
You have such a gentle sole. Well done on getting your visa.
Thankssss 💚
I see a lot of these comments about how you could have rephrased the tragedy, but I would like to show some support for your side of the story.
I agree with you - from a third party POV. Yes indeed there are true victims and nothing can take away from that. It was a tragedy that can be avoided and may they rest in peace.
But from a audience / bystander POV, overconsumption of the media about disasters and tragedy HAS an impact on audience lives. I don’t even live in Korea but I see and had searched for happenings of the tragedy for hours days and weeks after the event. Seeing or having that access to actual footage of the event is sufficient to cause PTSD. Yes of course less PTSD via media is NOTHING compared to being in that crowd, but even professionals have said that media viewers from both Korea and internationally have sent warning to audience need to restraint themselves from seeking out footages.
What I mean is that, it is possible to be affected. Yes we must care for the actual victims, but that doesn’t mean we turn a blind eye to our own mental health.
And i’m sure Sissel means that too
How to be happy: watch sissels video 💚
Aww hahaha 💚
and it makes me happy watching your videos!!!
They do help me relax and chill so much!!
Big hugs in these hard times sent your way, and I completely agree on what you mention about the news. Since the pandemic I'm trying so hard to keep myself out of watching news, it's bad for my mental health
Big hugs
Staying informed in a way that doesn’t come to the expense of your mental health is so important, I hope you found some places you could do that 💚
Your skin looking so fresh, glowy and healthy 😮 seeing you happy , gives me peace and projects me to think of my life that needs to be changed to be happy and not regret and feel sad afterwards
💚
Sissel, several years back I drank sake, which I liked very much, but now I'd like to buy some: do you know a good brand in particular?
I don’t really know much about sake 🙊
I'm extremely grateful to have found your videos, they give me such peace and makes me self reflect sometimes. Your videos make me romanticize life and makes me motivated to do things when I'm feeling anxious or not feeling good. So thank you so, so much! 💜🤍
Thank YOU for being here 💚
11:50 beautiful shot!
Hi, Sissel and Happy November!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌷🇰🇷💚💚💚💚💚💚🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂👍. How was your weekend?😀

Hi Sissel! Do you think autumn is the best season to visit Korea? I’d like to go October-Nov
Definitely !! Sep-Nov honestly 💚
Your videos give me so much comfort, I get exciting when I see there is a new video of u 💌
💚
This is exactly what I needed today! In the last weeks I found it so hard to be happy while facing everything that's going on on this planet and I also had a lot of struggles in my personal life. Sometimes it's so hard to find the balance and peace for your inner self, but it's so important and your videos help me with that a lot. Your channel really has become my safe space over the last years and I'm beyond grateful for that! Sending all the love🤍
Balance is such a key word, thank you love 💚
I hope everyones safe💗
💚💚💚
Sissel, can u recommend some books? also the one u mentioned in the video about happiness and fulfillment. thanks :)
Det så spændene at se en dansker leve dit drømme liv! 🥰

Can you tell me what sun lamp is in your living room? I realised it's something I NEED in my life right now since the winter is coming and I'm lacking sunlight...
The big lamp in the corner ? I just got it from a Korean online app called 오늘의집💚
hello Sissel !! thank you for this healing vlog that truly helps me to go throught this (sometimes) autumn gloomy mood and hard studying. Where do you find your beautiful hairclips/hairpins? Love you and stay safe!
Thank you love 💚 I’ve gotten most of mine either online, at street sellers or in Arket 💚
@@sisselab do you remember on which online websites ? because I unfortunately don’t live in a place where you can find street sellers like in Seoul (I live in Paris, I think you can remember that it is not the kind of trend haha).
sissel i love your videos so much 💖
What if you don't have any friends or partner or any passion to work on to then how to be happy
Thank you take care much
You too 💚
hi sissel 😊 may I ask where your knit hoodie is from? thank you in advance ❤
I think I got it in Zara years ago 💚
It makes me HAPPY when there is a new video from you! 🍁🌞💫
Aww haha 💚
wow!! beautiful and interesting vlog!
🥹💚
Life seems so peaceful omfg. I can’t picture that lifestyle in somewhere as cluttered and busy as NY. The states need to do better.
It’s all the glasses I choose to see through and focus on. You can have peace everywhere, you just need to look for it 💚
Come to Europe;)
Sissel, what did you mean when you said you are an ‘independent person’? What type of visa do you have? 💚
It just means that I don’t have a management anymore 💚
Your boy friend? Or fiancé seems nice indeed. I am happy for you.
By the way I am a Korean woman who lives in cepenhagen with my Danish hubby ♥️ 💕
hey sissel, just wondering. what do you mean by independent? is it to do with your management ?
I no longer have a management 💚
@@sisselab oh wow ! Big steps !!! You’re doing amazing sweetie 🖤 would be interesting to hear about this transition to being an independent content creator in Korea as a foreigner, visa process, brand sponsorships etc, only if you’re comfortable of course. Best of luck queen 🖤
Btw I forgot what's the name of the three colour thing you talked about also with Buddhist beliefs (I'm not sure what I'm saying), I've been wanting to look it up more
You mean the green, orange and red zone? Or? 🙊💚
@@sisselab yes and something about 3 types of mathras or something like that i have a terrible memory and can't remember which vlog you talked about it
Ohhh 😲 ese pollo asado se ve delicioso 🤤

This felt so good to watch 💕 Thank you for the part about media, I've been trying to stay away from media because of how it makes me feel but I still feel guilty ... So it helps a lot calming this. Also I had a huge smile for the rest of the video : I was genuilly so happy just watching this kind of content so thank you for making it 🧡

This is one of the most beautiful videos. Thank you❤️
That’s so sweet of you 🥹💚
Thank you Sissel for making so Happy too❤

Financial peace isn't the acquisition of stuff. It's learning to live on less than you make, so you can give money back and have money to invest. You can't win until you do this. --Dave Ramsey
Im an iranian woman and the thing is the attention the world gave us saved a lot of lives in iran. So every time we had world's attention the regime was less horrible so hearing the news acctually helps people but i totally agree we should allways put our mental health first . And thanks for mentioning us .
Happy to see your safe!~ 💚
Thanks love 💚
Sissel, I know your intentions are not to hurt anyone, but your response on the Itaewon tragedy comes off a little flippant. You're right, it is impossible to keep yourself informed on all the tragedies around the world and its not healthy to do so. But there is a healthy medium. Looking at the world through this detached lens hurts people. Its kind of a disservice to the victims to keep yourself insulated from what happened or even redirect the narrative to 'negative media'. Idk I guess I'm just a little disappointed by this response.
I absolutely adore Sissel and her vlogs and really appreciate everything she does,so I felt a need to comment below this video.
I agree with Sissel statement,that we can not stay informed of everything happening in the world and should take care of our mind and health.But what I understood this year,being in the center of horrible tragedies happening,is that at the very first place we should stay people and take care of each other,we should educate ourselves for ourselves and to prevent horrible things happening.Escaping the reality isn’t the best helper and unfortunately,it isn’t something you understand immediately.I feel like lots of people who are in difficult situation right now,such as war or Itaewon tragedy need our attention,cause that’s how we are staying people by supporting others,being attentive and kind to each other.
To grow empathy towards others and let yourself feel a grief for other people without self destruction is where I find a balance,but it can be different for others.❤
Agreed 100%
Tbh Im living in a country where everyday we face a new disaster. I was spending too much time on twitter untill I had horrible panic attacks and soon after diagnosed with panic disorder and anxiety. Some people (like me) are too sensitive to world around them, that they can end up breaking. I dont suggest anyone like me to read the news. I think its better for them to live blindly. I know that sounds horrible but I realise the only think that accually matters is you and your health. Its really a difficult situation to decide whats right or whats wrong. But thats what I came up with. Ive cared enough to a point where I lose my shit. I dont want to care anymore.
@anem G I respect your response, but I think you’ve misunderstood what I said. I didn’t say to live isolated, I said to look for healthier media outlets and never prioritize being informed over your mental health. I was there, I was feeling the heaviness of the country for days, and it was horrible. I couldn’t shake those inhumane photos and videos disrespectful people posted of the victims from my eyes. So I withdrew myself and that made me able to mourn and heal. If you ask me, I strongly disagree that this is a disservice to the victims 💚
@@katya0112398 absolutely agree! Please do not stay aside of news. Yes maybe some photo will make u sad for a second. But imagine what people feels on this picture in real life. Im from Ukraine and I know what person feel from different size of the story. Your support will help a lot! ❤️
Thank you sissel.
thank you for this video!🥰
