Hello my dear friends!💕🤗 I hope everyone are doing well. Please do enjoy my ordinary weekend routine here in Japan. In this video I enjoyed the hydrangeas here, they’re so beautiful. I’m wondering if there’s also hydrangeas in other countries because we don’t have that kind of flowers in Philippines so I was really amazed on it. I’m actually excited to show them to everyone. I hope you also enjoyed it. Anyways, Thank you so so much for always supporting me😭. I really appreciate it💕. Have a wonderful day my dears! I love you all, stay safe and happy. You all are in my prayers🤗

A nice tip for checking eggs! If you fill a cup or bowl with cold water (it has to be cold) and place your eggs in it, you can see if they are expired! If they sink to the bottom they're good, if they are starting to seem to want to float they have a short time left and should be eaten soon, and if they float they are expired! Hope this might help :)

Just to add a little more, if they sink and lie on their sides they are new. If the sink but stand up they are older but still good so you want to use them first.

You can also just check the smell. If they smell even slightly off, throw them out. I've eaten eggs that were 2 weeks past their expiration date (more than once) but were still fine.

I use the water test everytime I'm not sure and some are stil edible 3 or even 4 weeks after expiration date. I have also had different results within the same carton of eggs. I've never had a problem using this method and I have a highly sensitive digestion system due to having all but one metre of my intestine removed over the years due to having crohns disease from when I was a young girl.

In the UK eggs sit on the shelves and in Romania they store them in the refrigerator. Needless to say, I have never ever tasted an egg that has gone bad, I've had the same eggs for over 1 month and never got sick. I have tested your theory too and they always sunk so not sure if my eggs were mutant or what, lol...

There is something so calming and weirdly nostalgic about watching these vlogs. I swear I’m addicted to it, and I don’t even really know why. It’s just very soothing to watch.

I recently lost my three dogs to old age and health issues. To say the least, it has been very difficult. Your videos have given me a sense of peace and relaxation. Thank you for posting your daily life routines. They are a great distraction from my life right now, and I love watching them. Thanks again!

Lou C, you are a filial daughter. You take such good care of your family from a far. I admire that supportive nature in you!

My youngest sister at 17 years old traveled by herself for the first time overseas, and Japan was the only country my family allowed her to do solo traveling. She said she would come back to the hotel at 2AM everyday and felt the safest in the world.

Fresh eggs from the Chicken and farm that haven't been washed last longer and can stay un refrigerated. Eggs bought from the store have been washed and have to be refrigerated with a shorter expiration time. I enjoy your vlogs, and I am inspired by your cooking and your sharing Japan gardens, culture and shopping. I feel as if I am on vacation. Thank You, Catherine USA

Hi LouC, USA 🇺🇸 Missouri here. Those hydrangeas are beautiful!!! I just planted some in my yard, 3 bushes of them. Hope you are doing well and feeling well, take care, see you next time!!! I admire how well you scour and scrub your kitchen. I’m almost 70, so my body does not let me clean like I used too. Thankfully my daughter owns a maid service, so she sends them to help me out nowdays. I feel very blessed and thankful for this. Always spend well on a good pillow!!!

Your family is blessed to have such a devoted daughter!

Japanese people don’t gorge on junk and destroy natural immunity’s then expect someone else to pay for it. They take pride in themselves. No one can tell me all these tat’s, piercings with the above mentioned attack on the body doesn’t take a toll. Go ahead, do it, but why do I pay for their dumb lifestyle, poor choices. Suck down 15-20 dollar Starsucks 2-3 times a day then complain no money for diabetes meds. Be a human smokestack for 40 years then cry about lung cancer. American’s (which I am) are about the stupidest life on earth.

I didn't know you could deep clean a cutting board with salt, baking soda and lemon juice 😮 I will definately try that ! By the way your videos are always making me feel relaxed.

Alright, this is it! This is the most recent video which means I’ve now watched 90 of your videos in about three weeks. Thank you for the serendipity Lou in finding me when I needed you!! I lost a beloved pet recently and needed an escape and you gave it to me. I’ve been obsessed with Japan and ramen and capsule hotels and living and then you came in my life one day while ‘autoplay’ sent me one of your videos. Thank you for doing your question and answer video when you surpassed 100,000 subscribers (CONGRATULATIONS). I too have been wondering what you do for employment. I think I’ve now mentally mapped out your apartment in my head, I love your cute arrangements and I admire your tidiness and organization. I too have small accommodations and I share with my teenage son and three Guinea pigs. I’ve been inspired by a few of your shelving ideas although I don’t have metal walls. Again, thank you for sharing your life, your vulnerability, and your hopes and dreams. Your love for your family and friends is so real and your fans can tell how genuine and grounded you are. You are an incredible young woman with a very bright future. No one can be as lovely as you and not have good karma. Remember, that you will always have a friend in Toronto Ontario! ❤️☺️

Ahhh Lou C! I have had a rough few weeks taking care of ailing parents and really needed to hear that soothing start up music of your video's. You bring such calm to a chaos world. Thank you so much for sharing your life and giving us a little break in our own. We have hydrangeas in Montana Usa. They are beautiful! Hope you have a wonderful upcoming week! Cant wait for your next video!

It's so cute how Lou C uses that😅 emoji after her comments sometimes lol I'm glad I found this channel it's very peaceful and enjoyable to watch

Love this video. Next time try cooking the egg and shrimp last. Shrimp cooks pretty quick (1-2 minutes) and gets hard and rubbery if you cook it longer. It tastes better when tender not rubbery. Egg cooks fast as well. When I was in the Philippines they tend to overcook the shrimp there.

Thank you dearest @LouCslife for doing these videos. While you may think it's ordinary, I think it's absolutely calming. Much love from Australia.

Every time I watch your videos, I think how amazing you are! Making a life in a Japan, alone. I would really love to know, if your parents are able to watch your videos. They must be so very proud of you. X

I am 61 , married for 23 years , have a cat and live in the Mohave desert Arizona. We go visit my 95 year old mom twice a year . It was 110 degrees here today. You make my days better and I love your videos. You are a dear friend. Blessings forever. I have never heard of that tea , I will make it.

Just a note: I too once got very sick from an egg. I learned that proper storage can be even more important than the expiration date. An egg that is improperly refrigerated can go bad very quickly in the U.S. because commercial eggs are washed before being marketed. Put the raw egg (still in the shell) into a glass of cool water and the higher it floats, the older or closer to spoilage it is. A very fresh egg won't float. Also, on the Texas Gulf coast we have beautiful hydrangeas here. Depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the soil, the blooms will be either blue or pink. Love your channel.

I am just so proud of you Lou C! To be so young, coming from the Philippines to live alone and work in Japan? And then having to learn the language? Most people from over here in the USA couldn't do it. You're so brave, PLUS you're a good cook! That's why I love your videos. You deserve an award.

I love your channel, watching your everyday life, especially when you go grocery shopping, is so relaxing and serene. I also love the food you make, it looks delicious 😋. I have a fascination with Japan and your channel really gives an amazing insight living there. Thankyou for bringing us along on your life journey ❤️. Great video, thanks for uploading ❤️🙂

Late to the party. Just discovered your channel and have been furiously consuming your content. I lived my life solo for years and elected to work (in US) every day and on every holiday. Hang in there and someday you will find someone to compliment your wonderful life. Thanks for sharing.

Always close the zippers before washing. It saves other laundry and the zip itself from damage. 😊

Fill a cup with cold water, put the raw egg (still in the shell) in the cup. If the egg sinks it is still good, if it floats it has expired so throw it out.

Lou, you have such a humble, pure soul. What an example you ate to me. Thank you.❤

Fun fact, here in south Brazil, because is colder we also have hydrangeas, they were bring by Japanese and Asian immigrants back in the day and the weather here simulate very well Japanese weather on most of the year so we have lots and lots of it here. Love them

Hi Lou, thank you for this...your videos always bring me joy! We have hydrangeas here in the USA, my mom actually grows them in her backyard!

I suffer from menopausal hot sweats and I bought a pet cooling mat to put on my pillow, all I can say is it’s a godsend 😊

Hi LouC! I love hydrangeas too. Your videos always make me feel so calm and relaxed. I like to see what you cook--you've inspired me to try some new dishes. Best wishes to you!

Hello Lou C, looking forward to watching your weekly videos. It gives me a feeling of good vibes always. God bless you for your kindness and thoughtfulness. You are such a wonderful daughter. ❤

You are so disciplined in your life. You are an inspiration.

I so enjoyed the flowers! I sat up straight 😃 when you said you were making fried rice! I first learned how from a fellow university student in the state of Wisconsin, USA. She was Philippine! I have since discovered there are many ways to make it and ALL wonderful. She squeezed lemon juice over hers for a final touch. I love the way you made yours. I showed her a personal favorite dish in turn. Thank you!🌺

Лу Си, здравствуйте. Мне очень нравятся ваши видео. Я скучаю, когда вас долго не вижу. А потом это так жизненно. Вы молодец.

Hi Lou , I have been watching ur videos quite some time and I am really enjoying . Even I love to stay alone and do the things independently. Stay strong and keep posting ur videos ❤ Love from India 🇮🇳🥰

Growing up my Mom used to make delicious fried rice with lettuce. So happy to see you doing the same. Love your videos. Love from South Africa.

Such a beautiful and special young lady. Always be proud of your accomplishments

I love the blue hydrangeas. In one area in Ireland I lived, the ph of the soil made them pink, I moved to a different area and they were blue. Such a pretty plant.

Never had the idea to just buy a bunch of spring onions, cut them and freeze them like frozen herbs... Need to try this, that's a cool idea

If you’re unsure if an egg is bad just put it in a bowl of cold water, if it floats it’s bad if it sinks it good 😊

I have travelled to Japan four times. I love your content because it reminds me of our stay and just doing the simple things. Also enjoy recognising the products you use, the trips to the supermarket and your lovely food. You are a delight!

With the prawns check that the back does not have a black line. If there is run a knife on the back and scrape out the black as that is it's intestinal track.

Hello Lou. So happy your channel landed on my KZread feed. You had me mesmerized from the first video I saw. I went to your channel to see other videos and am very impressed by your humble spirit. We often get confused on what role models truly are. You are at the forefront of what a true role model should be. I love the care that you give for your family. I really enjoy watching. Keep up the good work.

The peace and quiet in your channel is wonderful, it feels good for the soul to watch your videos. You seem intelligent and sensible. Thank you very much for sharing parts of your life with us. Your recipes look great and I'm going to try some of them.

I agree there is something so calming about these videos. I think because Lou isn’t running around 100 mph 😁

Nice to see you again Lou. I am glad you are doing well. The hydrangeas you saw on your walk were beautiful. I have one bush of them beside our home here in the US, and they are so pretty when they are in bloom. That mochi dessert you ate looked very interesting, I would like to try it sometime, and your pancakes looked amazing, just perfect. I love watching your videos as they are very peaceful and relaxing. I am happy that you share your life with us. You take care lovely lady, and hope to see you next week.

I love this video! So nice to see your pretty face this time. Your videos are so calming. I really appreciate your efforts to keep making these videos for us. 😊

You are a wonderful person! Thank you for your videos. I look for them every day!!

There's always something unique in your videos that makes your viewers to have more interest and enjoys watching it!!!. I really love hydrangeas flowers too each time I see them in the park here I always wish we could have those grown in Philippine's park too, and I would love to grow them in the Philippines if I can. I will challenge you to do a " flaming pancakes " next time in your video 😉. As always, I really enjoyed watching your videos and that jelly dessert are scrumptious. You take good care always Lou, and looking forward for your next video. GOD's LOVE to you Lou...❤️❤️❤️🕊️

Hello from Michigan! I recently started watching your videos, and I find them very calming and soothing as well as interesting to see all the different food and sights in Japan. I visited in 2019 and I would love to go back. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤

Did you know hydrangeas change from pink to blue depending on wether the soil is acid or alkaline 😊

i love the way she films in the supermarket - from grabbing it, to putting it in the shopping cart - so cute! all in all do i get heavy ASMR vibes with these videos - love it.

I always learn so much from your vlogs! I never knew about putting lettuce in stir-fried rice! And I am actually pea green with envy over your medical screenings and procedures in Japan. The costs that they charge you are phenomenal. There's just no other way to say it. You say you wish you had that in the Philippines? I live in the United States, and I would give anything for it to be like that. We have a very expensive health care system here and I'm ashamed of it. I saw another person's video who also had surgery while she was in Japan and her total cost was $600. She was American and her fellow Americans, including me, were flabbergasted. One person noted that just the meals would have cost us that 😂! Exaggerated, but true.

I have no idea how your video came up on my feed. This video took me out of an anxiety attack I keep having from loneliness. I’m severely alone in this world and this gave me a different perspective. As a bonus it was almost like ASMR. I enjoyed it very much and watched a couple more and subscribed.

I enjoy your videos, and am so glad you are feeling competent and strong. You are an amazing woman to leave your country and culture and work so hard in a new country and culture. You need to remember always that you are a strong independent woman. Also, don’t worry about your weight…you look fine and are not too heavy for your body frame. You are wonderful to support your family, but please remember to give to yourself as well. You give so much to them, that I worry you are not doing things and buying things for yourself.

Your blueberry cream cheese pancakes look positively delicious! ❤

Hydrangeas are my favorite! And like you, I only also became aware of them when I migrated to the US. Blue ones are my fave. 🙂

Just found you and emjoyed my first vlog with you. Hope to see more of you. There are so many things we as humans do the same even tho customs or language are different......but so much familarity in some of what you do. Have a great day.

Hello from Texas! If you want to know if eggs are still good even after the expiration date, fill a pitcher with water and then place the eggs (one at a time) into the water. And if the egg is bad it will rise to the top and float. And if the egg is still good it will sink to the bottom of the pitcher. 🙂

Love watching your posts, helps me destress after work. Also, I think your recipes are wonderful. I'm definitely going to try some.

Lovely video. It is a good feeling when you finish work and the sun is still out so you can still enjoy the day. The meals you cook look delicious. Thank you 🙏🙂🌻🌈

I don't blame you for not wanting to walk alone after dark. Unfortunately there are some bad people in every country all over the world. I enjoy your channel.

Definitely going to try this version of fried rice. Thank youu. Also have been thinking to experiment with buttterfly pea tea to make welcome drinks for guests. This can look very creative and presentable. You’re right about safety. I have watched so many documentaries on crimes done in Japan and wonder that no country is safe 100%. We mustn’t let our guard down ever. I used to room-share with a Filipino lady and she was so friendly that I remember her till this day. So she always used to carry a small knife for self defense. I was very young at that time and first learnt about self-defense. One of my friends nag about the medical costs one has to bear in Japan. I try to explain how worse it is on the other side. I have heard people even wait for months just to get the MRI done. I think it’s the living cost that’s high in Japan and the tiring work culture. But we all need to work hard wherever we are. No pain, no gain. Life goes on and it’s beautiful ❤ Take care of your health dear.❤

Much love from Ireland love watching your videos they are relaxing 😊
