so i started a blog…
if my youtube vlogs could be considered a series of visual diaries, then this will be my written digital diary! basically a misc. category for me to dump whatever weekly thoughts i’ve been mulling over, life updates, pics, etc. it’s going to be as informal as it gets because that’s the beauty of a diary right?
i’ve been wanting to start a blog for a while; it’s probably one of my highest requests to this day on social media! initially i was thinking this would be just a food blog to share the full recipes from my vids. but like, i’m not a chef by any means… i think if you compiled all the recipes i ever made on my youtube channel, more than half of them would be recipes i’m following from other food blogs. but as i’ve become more comfortable and experienced with cooking, i find myself adjusting recipes and combining different ideas into things more original! especially when it comes to scaling things for a single-person household. sorry but i will NOT be making an 8 serving pasta and freezing the leftovers… i have somewhat of a foundation to post my own recipes now lol. rule for my recipes: try at your own risk.
while recipes and food stuff will be the main focus, i want to have a variety of other posts as well. when planning i thought i could post a digital diary entry at the end of each week as a reflection, but we’ll see how frequently i’ll be able to update eheh. it’s been a lot of fun recipe testing and preparing posts before the launch, so i’m trying to ride the wave of momentum that comes with starting a new creative endeavor for as long as i can~
the vision:
what you’ll find here…
- food — (mostly) beginner-friendly, quick & simple recipes, catered to those living alone! meaning fewer servings, ingredients, etc.
- wellness — mindset, health, journaling
- beauty — my fav skincare, makeup, and fashion products <3
- diary entries – weekly(ish) digital diaries + travel content
- lifestyle – youtube, small business, hobbies & more!
i can’t wait for it to be fully fleshed out. it’s going to be like a pinterest board, but MORE. and it’s fun to try a new form of media. one that’s not a social media where it’s heavily focused on likes and followers. and you can comment on the posts and start conversations with each other! i love when we interact as a community <3
anyway, happy march! i have so much planned for this month… shop update, my birthday, traveling- oop i’ve said enough no more spoilers.
take care friend,
annika

ahhh I’m so proud of u annikaaaa, been a fan since 2021 T0T
dear annika: i just can’t explain how much you inspire me to became a youtuber/blogger, it’s just something that always has been in my “dream list” and since a few months ago i started uploading content in my yt channel cause you inspired me 🙂 Your content it’s so relaxing and beautiful, yet so realistic & fun. I really feel identified with how you see the world and all the beautiful things you share! Love from argentina!! <3
I’ve never been much of a blog follower, but as I’ve grown older and got into more stuff like beauty, wellness, and self care, finding vlogs and blogs and everything inbetween has been really fulfilling and enlightening. I came across your stuff on youtube when I was being recommended various vlogs and I really love your content, can’t wait to see you post more here!
Ahhh finally!!!
I’ve been waiting for this blog since you announced it on yt. I have watched most of the videos since 2021 and my desire to create content has grown (even now with this blog). Not only to create content but also to cook, before I used to be scared of the kitchen and now I want to cook up some fun and easy meals everyday! I am so excited for this new avenue of creativity 😍
I knew you would have your own blog someday soon. I am so glad you are doing what you love and how you got here so far. I will always be rooting for you whatever life throws at you.
loving the new blog. it is very aesthetic and brings off good vibes. thanx Annika for the blog, and giving us more things to bring into lives. all blessings for blog 🙏
