If you haven’t felt super motivated to write down your goals just yet - you aren’t alone! Glad I could open up more in this vlog ❤ My gosh I’m so thankful for all of you. Excited for year 13 on here with you all 🥂❤️

I love how you speak to the camera as if we're all on FaceTime with you! Also just to reassure you, I don't watch your videos for the aesthetics. I've been watching your vlogs since 2020, when you were in your first apartment just yapping to us about your day, and especially when you spoke about your struggles adjusting to a new country. Stuff like that is super relatable!

FaceTime vibe is such a compliment! Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍

You are such a treasure 😊 I am 61 years old and this is the first year in probably 40 years that i did not sit down and write out goals or resolutions. I honestly don't feel any remorse in not doing it. It's almost a relief to just tell myself to relax and take life as it comes. I am making mini goals at the beginning of each week. I'm just not putting pressure on myself to make huge demands on myself this year. I hope you continue to follow your heart and always be true to yourself. That, to me, is what true beauty is. ❤

Its ok if your home isnt fancy. Remember, you invested your savings into your jewelry business. In the future you will be happy you didnt spend all that money on decorations or expensive things you dont need. You are a smart shopper and we all need more vlogers like you. ❤

🥲 ok the fact that you remember that - you are the best!!! Thank you sooo, so much. Your support and kind words mean so much to me

I’m so sorry you haven’t felt you’ve been authentic on KZread. Our bodies and minds protect ourselves in different ways for different reasons. Maybe use the lunar new year to help reset? I also saw a reel about this is our winter selves who are different from our summer selves. My winter self is completely less motivated and relaxed than my summer self, so I completely understand the lack of motivation in resetting.

I never took a moment to realize that we do have two different selfs winter vs summer. That is soooo true. Thanks so much for your supportive words, genuinely it helps me so much ❤ xoxo

Love the honesty Adrienne❤ I also felt that way when the new year was coming. Seems like everyone on social media was making huge goals and I just didn’t have anything that I was looking forward to working towards… So I’ve been taking it slow and giving myself grace. I really just want to eat better so I’ve been slowly building a meal plan, and move my body more. Maybe the big goals will come with time, but for now I’m good with those two😊

It's funny that you brought up about moving to a bigger apartment. I've always wondered how 2 adults and a dog can live in such a small space. I think moving will spark your creativity and motivation. Plus, moving vlogs are good content. You're on your way! Peace 🕊️

LUV all of those! Thanks for sharing 💛

What you’re feeling is completely normal but thank you for being real. Honestly, that is what I crave from people on the internet because at the end of day, that’s what we are…people. So the more real you are, the better for me! I think we’re all inundated with things that have to be aesthetically pleasing that we forget that there’s beauty in being real/normal. It’s the mentality of the grass is greener on the other side so you may think that your backdrop isn’t as beautiful but to a lot of us, your content is so beautiful and soothing. Your style and the vibes of your video definitely fit that bill and even if they were to change to incorporate you being real and not curating content for perfect content’s sake, that’s even better. Hope I am making sense. Keep up the good work and thanks for always inspiring me! ❤

Thanks for the honesty! I’ve been sick like all of January, got Covid and then a super bad cold from the kids that I watch. It’s been so hard to get motivated so I feel ya girl! But February will be better, for all of us! :) maybe since your moving , you could have certain “aesthetic spaces” that you film in and not worry about the whole house. I know it’s so hard seeing perfect homes and I try to make my home perfect too lol! But I focus on specific areas that make me feel super good maybe that will help :)

Ugh I loved this video so much. It motivates me to make my own rest for the new year 🤍

HI Adrienne, I'ts okay, to feel like you're not feeling 💯. We all feel that way. Decluttering and cleaning is a great start. Somedays, I feel so lazy and don't want to even throw away trash that's been sitting in my room. Ugh! I have to tell myself, get off your lazy A$$ off and clean up already! 😆Treaing yourself to something also helps to to feel good. Weather, it's buying yourself cute clothes or simple things ice cream, or a smoothie. I love your road trips you do with your boyfriend. You always find the coolest places that I never knew that existed in Korea. We're all here for you. BTW, your skin really does look amazing. 💜 💜🫰

I am glad that you had a great time in the US with your family for the holidays. And welcome back to Korea. I am relieved that there are other people that have had a slow start to the New Year. I know a lot of people that have already made plans and goals for this year and are just moving on a fast train. For me, I have been moving on a slower train than them. I am not the best at setting goals for myself when my mind and soul is just all over the place: as a result, I don't feel motivated and I just drift through each day. I know that having a slower start to the year is okay and the motivation will gradually come in its own time. Your video has reminded me of this and I feel a lot better now. Thank you for another amazing video. Happy New Year Adrienne!

If you're not feeling motivated right now, it's okay and it's normal. It ebbs and flows and it will come back to you naturally, so don't force it. Give yourself some grace because you deserve peace. 💕💕

A slower start is totally normal!! That's usually me lol. This year is different for me, though. For the first time in my life I decided to write out some actual goals and put it over my desk. I am so so close to one of my goals already! I have been working so hard for eight years to be able to join the JET Program and I just got my interview offer on Friday!! I cried at work when I saw the email, I'm so serious 😅 But don't worry too much about having huge plans for the new year. Honestly what you're calling little things, like being more open in videos again and changing up your living situation are absolutely big and important things! Moving is huge, and I honestly get the feeling of being too used to your surroundings and needing a change of scenery. It sounds like you're like me in that you have huge wanderlust and really enjoy moving around all the time. I love exploring a new place! Don't stress about it too much, you're awesome.

You prioritize and value wellness and self-growth and those are reasons I follow you because I do too, we love seeing who you authentically are! We love seeing every part because it’s so relatable watching someone go through the real waves of life! Perfectionism I feel like comes from the pressure of social media in general, but remember your community is genuine and here for you! Xoxo girl, been here since you were in college! I actually moved to Korea and taught English and came back after watching you! Love following you, seriously don’t be ashamed to be yourself!

The great thing about goals is that you can set them at any time, a new week a new day, is a great time to reset! You are doing great girlie!!! 😊❤ also lunar new year might be the best time to set goals and January should just be a recovery month lol

i definitely relate to the struggle with perfectionism and feeling like this year has been a slow start. a few thoughts that help me overcome perfectionism: comparison is the thief of joy; done is always better than perfect; clumsy consistency will always yield more results than small bursts of perfection.

Setting goals is something I've been trying to get a handle on and unfortunately have failed at quite a bit. I have a caregiver and I'm not really good at pushing for her to help me reach any goals. I'm going to work on that though 😅

About finding goals, maybe, as time goes by, in adult life goals become less urgent, does that make sense? School and university and first jobs etc are all so highly scheduled but now, you're flying solo and it is up to you when and where you want the things you want. And that's ok. It is ok.

I feel like taking more time to take a step back and really think about and feel what new tasks or things you want to experience and see is more important than to hurry yourself along. It's January and you have plenty of time to find what encourages you, makes you happy, gets your heart racing and what intrigues you. No need to hurry because we will still be here with you and when you are ready 😊 we will get to enjoy all the things you want to share with all of us 😊 You could try a white lace or crochet draped over the top to give it more of a vintage look and some temporary inspirational quotes or pictures to lift your spirits.

Oh my gosh!! I hate hair washing day. The problem is not washing the hair itself (actually, I think of it as really soothing) but drying it is the problem. I have really thick and voluminous hair so drying it takes forever. Btw, I also use La Théorie moisturizer. I have really sensitive skin so I saw it on Amazon I thought about giving it a try and I love it. So glad you are talking about it. 🥰🥰

One foot in front of the other! You’ve got this. This might be helpful or it might not be, but just to share, I’ve actually been looking for videos from creators that have more realistic homes and a realistic day-to-day. I’m over the unrealistically spotless and completely perfect homes. It just always bums me out and doesn’t make me proud that I own my first home (that’s from the 1960s and needs work)

I've wanted to try skin care, my skin is so very sensitive and has in the past ended up getting what was supposed to be prevented by that product so I'm very cautious about anything on my skin.

I have my notifications set for all of your videos but for some reason I'm not getting them. Think I will take it off and do it again to see if it starts working again 🤔

Um, how the heck has it been three years since you moved into that studio?! I feel like it was just two years ago that you gave living in Seoul at shot. I am completely shocked right now lol. Totally random but extremely curious, you mentioned you've been selling stuff. Is reselling common in Korea and does it get boughten up fast? I wish this was something that was more common in the US. I know the US has poshmark, ebay, mercari etc. But every-time I go on there, everything seems to be expensive. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong stuff. Always enjoy watching your vlogs. Thank you for being candid with your struggles and triumphs, even if you don't feel like you are as much anymore. This time of the year is always rough. Just know, we are officially into the time of year where the days are finally getting longer again. Even if it is still cold, just knowing the sunlight is officially getting brighter and the days longer gives me something to be both happy and excited about everyday :)
