ALMOST to Friday, home stretch! I haven't done a lot of trigger focused ASMR videos over here and or on YouTube. I tried to include triggers I feel like you all might like best as I've been able to get a pretty good idea of what you like best from me here on Patreon! I am not moving, but our roommate is in their transition of moving out so I have been deep cleaning and decluttering EVERY drawer and corner of this house, nesting a bit and getting ready for baby girl and such. I have so much pre-recorded for YT and I'm trying to begin doing the same for you guys. I have a "blooper" coming tomorrow that's only a minute long but gives an insight to amount of patience one must have when it comes to filming LOL. I also am working on building my new office space and I will give a a tour of my living room and such, coming soon.
Hang in there. You are not alone and U am so very proud of you,
Happy Sunday! We are into the month of June and the summer months are HERE. I have a lot coming for the month of June, so please let me know if you have any further requests for this month or the next. As I am trying to film as MUCH as possible for when little lady is here. I have had MANY of requests for a ramble over-describing my favorite cozy nostalgic ASMR memories! Let me know if you have any shared experiences.
I received some feedback for the long notes I'm writing, I can always FILM these little thoughts as ASMR shorts for you all, so I'm going to try and dish some of those out as well for this month.
I had to go run some errands (house shopping) but am back and have an ASMR haul of sorts for you all. I MADE SURE to include all of your fav triggers: Tracing, Tapping, Over-Explaining, Repeating words, SOME mouth sounds, but not an obnoxious amount.
I know I know... I still need to figure out what true crime case I want to cover and get that out for y'all. I did plan on this month and working on it with the hubs but I THINK I will have to cover the talking points by myself and THEN have him kinda break it down with me in a video.
I have seen such BEAUTIFUL and SWEET messages from you all regarding the bump update. I wish I could tell you how YOU via internet (my friends of course) have made me feel more seen and supported than many of times in my personal life. I have a HARD time with in general being vulnerable, though it might not seem as such... but it's true. I feel as though we all connect. You see me and I see you and I'll never forget the push in my day to day life and various dark times where that has gotten me. Thank you for being my friends and family. I sometimes believe everything happens for a reason and with the occasion no rhyme or reason... but I think we are here together for a bigger purpose. Community, love, connection.<3
I don't articulate enough just how much I admire and ENJOY having you here. In addition to the BEYOND gift of support that I haven't ever shared how far this support has meant to me in my life but one day... one day I will. Just know it's supported me since I was 17 and that little girl needed a lot of love and guidance... a light... and you took the place of those that weren't capable of being that light and or helping her navigate life and the courage and stability you gave me to grow and heal. I wouldn't be where I am at today without all of you. Some growth has been small or not quite far ahead as others but I am here and moving through some obstacles as best I can. Aren't we all?
I know I always write what seems to be a novel and a written message isn't as desirable as me speaking these thoughts to you, but I feel like this is most authentic and close to my heart... when I write. I will consider making small asmr clips like messages once a week maybe touching basis on these things and it's more bang for you buck? So to speak. Doesn't sounds very polite using that phrase but I want to make sure you get out of this exactly what you are so generously giving to me.
Now, just how aesthetically pleasing my background is for this clip? Eh. We are in the process of having our roommate move out next week and their room will be the new office, and THIS room we are turning into baby girl's nursery... so bare with me with the accumulated Amazon boxes and such!! SO many of you have asked for a little bump update and I am NOT an "aesthetic" well photo or video taker when it comes to my own self lol. I would rather just SHOW ya. You know? I WISH I enjoyed to get ready, find a background/space to film, overlay music.... but I DO NOT. Besides, this is most accurate and probably relatable to most for our current household with clutter, no makeup and Adam Sandler lookin attire majority of the time... right? ANYWAYS... thank you for allowing me the safe space to share so much of my personal life with you<3
We saw little lady yesterday and she is healthy as she can be. We are always told what a "beautiful spine she has + strong heart beat" So we will take it haha.
If you find yourself overwhelmed with a to-do list, take a breath. Sit with me and know other people understand how it feels like a constant catch up. Chores. Work. Kiddos. Mental health/physical.... all so consuming at times.
After this goes up, I SHOULD have an ASMR video up for you all within the next hour or so and maybe just maybe we can be present. Allow ourselves to enjoy the duration of the video with relaxation, safety, peace, reassurance... because hey, everything is going to be okay... but we can't burnout. We know what happens when we do<3 Hydrate. Call a loved one. Go for a walk. Get out of the house and out of your head... OR watch a cozy show and need not feel guilt for doing so. REST IS PRODUCTIVE.
Happy Tuesday! It has been a week... AND it's only 2 days in. THIS month like I said last time, is just flying by and I am guilty of biting off more than I can chew. Anyone else? If you happen to be going through the same kinda wavelength right now... I invite you to remind yourself there is no where you need to be, nothing you need to do/be... other than BREATHE and sit here with me. I am with you today and I know how hard you are trying. I know it's a lot to carry... but with me, you are never carrying it alone. Together we can be.<3 I love you and I am rooting for you. YOU must rest. Unwind. Eat. Sleep. EVERYTHING will be okay.
It is a HOT day and I'm going to enjoy a nice ice cream bar and edit a YouTube video and maybe film a Patreon video IF I can cool off. CURRENTLY 80 degrees in my house (NO AC) SOOOO, my ice cream is a MUST, right? lol big hugs and I am here if you need anything!
I feel like May has been an insane month thus far? we are already halfway through the month and quite honestly, it's felt like whiplash the pace of the last couple of weeks. Anyone else? I feel myself needing to slow down. I know it's a busy time of the year for many of us here in the US. Schools are letting out, college, middle school, and HS graduations. Children going into summer break and parent's now with their kiddos full-time throughout the week. Maybe you are moving, dealing with comparisons to where others are vs you. Everything will be okay<3 You deserve for someone to say what a good job you are doing and I SEE you. I see you trying, and this is enough. YOU are enough. Transitions are challenging. Be patient with yourself. I am holding space for whichever season of life you might be in right now. I wish I could give you a big hug. I'm still juggling some video ideas around for this month but I should have another video up for at the END of this week.
I am grateful for you. I am delighted and excited by each interaction we get to have. EVEN if you are a silent viewer, I know we are still connecting through mutual experiences and phases of life. Thank you for giving me the space to be creative and connect.
Happy Wednesday! I'm publishing this video on kinda a weird day... I feel like I usually post at the tail-end of the week but I like to edit and post over here for you guys closest to the filming date. Which I do believe was 5 days ago. I've already filmed 2 videos for this month so far and GUESS WHAT? I'm doing a true crime video with the hubs this month. He also enjoys true crime just as much as I do, and I think the idea of researching a case and being part of a discussion surrounding any personal interest he has, is exciting for him. He approaches true crime cases with delicacy and empathy just as I would so I hope that can be conveyed any time I shed light on heavier subjects. I actually would love to make an asmr video discussing the psychology behind WHY people are fascinated with true crime. I've always been a "why" kinda person with EVERYTHING. I remember my mother limiting our questions threshold PER hour because Maddie and I were so deep into the how's and why's of the world. ANYWAYS... enough rambling and I do hope you find this soothing. Let me know how your week is going.
Hi Hi! I know there are 2 videos back to back aren't ideal for spacing them out. MAYBE just MAYBE you have a few videos to binge now;) I PROMISE this is the last ramble video for the next few videos. This video contains opinions that are only my own, and very well might change down the line. For now, this is where I am at in my life and truly feels vulnerable to share but I hope it resonates, gives more insight and a new perspective, and or just a good ole whisper ramble to listen to. I like to live by "life and let life" "to each their own"... so pls be mindful, IF YOU CAN<3 I know this is highly subjective and personal so if you have differing opinions and or experiences... I totally get it.
LMK if this was a good setup for mic and visuals aka the more dimmed lights<3
Happy Monday! This month just flew on by, didn't it? I feel like I've been go-go-go and little time between for SLOW and personal attention related content. However, it IS Patreon after all and I definitely discuss/update all of you on topics that I just wouldn't share on YouTube. I want to try and balance rambles, whispered topic based ASMR videos for more role-plays or just shifted maybe in other directions. True Crime? LMK. I know it's redundant at this point with the amount of times I ask for requests but at the end of the day it IS hard-earned money out of your pocket and a community you are envisioning. SOOO this is why I always ask. I cannot say thank you enough for the well wishes for me and my family. I want you to know for what it's worth (even though we do not get to connect in person VS online) I talk about you.<3 I think about you, I share your stories, feelings... it all resonates. I think we can make this world feel a little less overwhelming, big, and sometimes alone by sharing. I wish I could give you all a warm embrace but I come this content feels like a warm hug AND with tingles of course.
Most of my Patreon content will typically be up to date vs YT where I have A LOT of pre-recorded content that might be a few days old, week old, even a month. SO also a plus if you like to stay current<3
babbling on AS always but we can do hard things.
Last few days I've been prioritizing some pretty big tasks I've needed to take on and just haven't for quite some time. Be mindful if feelings of fear, guilt, and shame keep you from facing and taking on the things you need to be doing. I'm trying to lean on loved ones for comfort and support through some of these more uncomfortable and stressful moments and I hope you can do the same... if not, we are together. Breathe. You are safe. You are loved. I see you trying so very hard... it is also A-OKAY to just be.
HELLO! I feel like my typical Patreon uploading schedule hasn't been as consistent as it usually is, so I do apologize. THIS ASMR video is pre-recorded (one month ago) so heads up incase I have rambles or updates you've potentially already heard. I think I forgot about this video bc I had a lot of pre-recorded content filmed for you last month and decided I would jsut use that video for the month of April and kinda forgot about it until literally just now.
I have a few more for y'all coming this month and OF COURSE tingly update regarding marriage, YouTube (all good things of course), plans, all that good stuff.
I've been so busy the last 3 weeks... and I missed you! I do hope to catch up soon so leave c comment below sharing what ASMR you are loving/wanting right now for the upcoming month. Thinking of you.
Today is a gloomy day and my body just feels kinda outta whack. I think the warm sunny days back to an overcast gloomy day makes me want to hibernate LOL. ANYONE else ready for summer? Ugh, I am but I don't want it over 75. Beggers can't be choosers!! All that to say... I really do understand just "bleh" days. Right? I try not and create a story with the bleh feeling other than "today it Is gloomy and I don't feel the best" instead of what I am guilty of at times and trying to find reasons as to WHY I would be more down, stressed, etc. Feelings are valid even without rhyme or reason... remember that. I will try to do the same and move through moments like this with compassion and giving myself extra TLC. No biggie. HUGS
Hello all! I won’t make this long bc I go into GRAVE DETAIL throughout the duration of this video of how it allll unfolded. lol. I’ve been quite busy between pre recording, school, baby girl, life shtufff, and this (which I do love and I hope you know I’m being truly sincere)
Baby girl had her anatomy scan I think 2-3 weeks back and she’s healthy as can be. She’s a squirmy little thing and it’s fun to begin noticing what makes her more active. She loves yogurt and bananas. Fun fact: they can taste small bubbles of amniotic fluid, so I think bananas are her favorite. Every time she gives me alll the kicks. I’m 6 months today, and officially cannot tie my shoes🤣 I might’ve had a moment where I cried. Why I cried? Idk. I think hyper-independence but I CAN TIE THEM if propped up on a chair so it’s not that big of a bump… yet☺️
Enough about me. Please do share with me where you are at in this moment, life…
I know I show the highlights but I’ve been struggling with major anxiety lately. I wish I could share more but sometimes it’s just fine lines not to cross on the internet. I’m sure you understand. Pls don’t feel as though these highlights are everyday events and as if they all go as planned sometimes.
All my love, comfort, and hopes for you today.
You can do hard things… I know you are doing your absolute best….

Happy April! I hope it's starting to warm up a tad bit wherever you are and the sun is beginning to come out a little bit more! If you struggle with the fall and winter months like I do, I'm sure the warmer months ahead are going to help boost your mood and energy levels.
Today's video is a cupped whisper of random facts. I typically love these videos for when I am trying to work and this plays as white noise, sleep, and or just household chores! I had to make the video short since the little school near me was letting out, so I do apologize. CLEARLY, fuller length videos to come this month, and the video I am filming for you all today or tomorrow will be a highly requested guided meditation for anxiety and sleep! I've never made a video dedicated to a full-length guided mediation outside of maybe like a guided body scan... so I do hope you'll find it helpful. I also have an eating and ramble video coming out, asmr-style vlog (I just need to finish the voice-over), baby-related updates/bumpdate! A few videos laid out for ya that I have for the month and I'm sure I'll switch it up a bit but that's what to maybe expect a bit from me for the month.
Much comfort, encouragement, love, and tingles....
Hi all! I initially planned on getting out for y'all "Doing Your Favorite Triggers" but my airdrop will NOT work today nor is content for Patreon or YT I've filmed within the last 2 weeks updating to my iCloud. SORRY! It will for sure be up for the beginning month of April. I will have an additional video out for you this month that is 15 min long with the Blue Yeti and that is a Nursery Rhymes video!! I know a lot of you have been asking for one and I appreciate any new faces to this little community who have joined this month<3 I had a lot of requests to also film an old school style ASMR video, so I did just that! I don't like the external microphones of the new iPhones but oh well. I know a lot of you still enjoy them so I hope it doesn't disappoint. HUGS!
Happy Thursday! I don't think "happy Thursday" is a thing but one day closer to Friday.
I have some updates for y'all and I do hope you enjoy the added SUBTLE gum chewing. If not, LMK! I have Patreon filming to do today so comment below if you have any requests (as always) this is for you and I always want to produce content that you feel like you are ultimately paying for<3 Little lady is KICKINGGG away today and I'll be here editing away! I HAVE finally edited my asmr vlog but need to finish the voice-over so look out for that next week.
Hi all!!! Halfway through the week, how are we feeling? I ask for a multitude of reasons... but daylights savings can throw us through A LOOP! LMK.
Anyways, today's video is an updated doing my makeup with ALL the basics GRWM triggers: Brushing sounds, tapping, clicking, personal attention, and a good ole ramble throughout!
I hope you enjoy and know that I am thinking of you. Hopefully longer days are peaking through some seasons DUMPS and IF you can... go outside for even just 5 minutes. You don't have to move your body, but just sit in the sun and enjoy the warmth it provides. Mentally it feels like a warm hug and I've always been soothed by the sun.
I have an ASMR pure whisper ramble for y'all today. I have an asme-style vlog coming SOON so look out for that. I am trying to be consistent with posting EVERY week over here. I wish I had filmed this sooner than pre-filmed bc I have updates for y'all.
I am 5 months along, baby girl has been KICKING like crazy. Punching, twisting, IDK but she is getting stronger and it makes it feel SO REAL and eager for her arrival. We decided for a multitude of reasons, we are staying in CA for another yr or less. Not what we wanted per say, but life is about pivots and being flexible. Tomorrow morning we are touring a home so give some good vibes or energy towards that (if that's your thing LOL)
I will let you all know how that goes bc IF IT WORKS OUTTT, we will jump on it ASAP and begin moving. DO not fret, I will still be posting same content as always<3
I am sending you all my light and love today. Let me know if you too are going through a MAJOR change/transition in life and what words of affirmation and or comfort would suit you best right now for this content. HUGSSSSS!
Okay, I feel like I am always asking this... but more productive for me to ask on a dedicated post and at the beginning of the month. I have some ideas (mentioned on one of my last months videos) here I find it more direct and getting ahead for pre-filmed content. PLS let me know down below in the comments WHAT ASMR are we feeling, needing, WANTING this month???
I hope you are catching up on last month's few videos and I will have another this next week probably mid-week or so. THANK YOU THANK YOU for allowing me the free-range for creativity, safety, and expression to continue dedicating time and building ASMR content and a community on this platform. While I realize I am providing a service of sorts... you are helping me prepare for a CHILD into this world which is costly, roof over MY head, and continuation of daily content over on YouTube as well. I will go more in depth at some point... but I would like to share with you for gravity of what YOU, YOU, AND YES YOU have done for me since the age of 17. I struggle just as anyone else. Isolation, anxiety, depression at times, life challenges... and the comfort and selfless advice, guidance, and love you've shown me has helped me in ways I can never repay and on my darkest days remind me that I am loved and to keep going. I hope you know what your presence alone means to me and how DELIGHTED I am to have you here.
I absolutely loved making this video. I definitely felt emotional filming this, as I am so eager to read to little lady here very soon. As a child, being read to was my favorite ways to spend time with my mom. Later, teachers reading to the class and over-explaining the illustrations and page turning was OH SO relaxing.
I hope this brings you comfort, and reminder of those fuzzy warm memories.
much light and love.
SORRY! I don't know initially when I uploaded this video a few hours ago there was a chunk taken out, but this IS the full-length. I apologize I didn't catch it sooner! ENJOY.
I don't remember if the majority vote was in FAVOR of true crime ASMR sprinkled in here and there, but here is a visual and audio true crime case. This is the case of missing woman, Amy Bradley. This case doesn't contain any trigger warning other that possible scenarios for what might've happened to this poor woman as well as just the clear loss of a loved one for her friends and family. I tried to slowww it down and add additional triggers such as repetition, hand movements, etc. LMK what your thoughts are on this case, and of course any constructive criticism and or requests is welcomed!
SIDE NOTE: I did just publish reading to you a children's book and unfortunately my laptop only downloaded to YT like, 5 min. worth?? REST assured the video is longer than 20 minutes but I have to re-download it and then publish it again... so give me like an hour or less than that.
I am almost done filming content for this month. I have one more video which will be a reading you a children's book with tracing, extra close whispering, and over-explaining... IN HONOR of baby girl.
UPDATE on baby girl: I had an appointment yesterday and news flash... YOU DO NOT GET TO SEE your baby every time you go for an apt. LOL. I was so butt-hurt BUT I did get to hear her sweet heart beat. Music to my ears.
This video is an old school lofi whisper ramble with mouth sounds scattered, and hand movements. I feel like I haven't filmed a full length lofi video in awhile so here we are! LMK what mic you'd like to see more/less of this next month. Maybe the Lapel?
Here's what I am thinking for March:
Disappearance case with lapel mic, repeating my intro and outdo (ear to ear) asmr style vlog for daily routine, etc, semi inaudible/audible whispering with personal attention.
Hi all! I have an 18 minute long close to mic iPhone ramble with hand movements and light mouth sounds coming for you all, TOMORROW. My WIFI is being incredibly slow today... so uploading this short little guy will have to do for now, sorry! Hopefully this will be a small ASMR fix for you. Backstory: I do believe my sister was filming in a room next to where I was laying down and couldn't make any noise so I decided WHY not film a short ramble. Again, I have 2 or 3 more videos for you all this month. (This doesn't count, clearly) just an extra hello. Happy Valentine's Day... I want to remind you on this just that you are loved, you ARE love, you are capable of, and if no one has told you today know that I am so very proud of you and ... know that someone is thinking of you... ME and baby girl. Be gentle and kind with yourself today... it is JUST a Hallmark kinda holiday but doesn't take away from the love you deserve to feel and value. Today is just an extra reminder of that. PLS do not feel guilty for not giving into the corporate capitalistic scam... however, nothing wrong with wanting to receive or give a date night, card, candies/chocolates, flowers, etc. I got done with a lil treat myself lash lifting appointment this AM and walked over to our local bakery and grabbed my bf a latte and chocolate croissant and came back home to make him a breakfast sandwich. (food is our love language) and it's simple little things for us... SO do not break the bank to give materials<3
Here is a PRIME example of why I LOVE Patreon! I don't know how comfortable I'd feel sharing this story over on YouTube but Patreon, I feel SAFE to share. (Thank you for being my safe space and allowing me to express myself just as I am, without judgement... WELL, silent judgement if any. LOL) THIS story time is 100% real and pls be careful when using online dating apps. It's so easy to overshare, trust prematurely, etc. I GET IT... in the moment, etc... but share your location, meet in public places... be AWARE. PLS share your dating nightmare stories if you have any! ALSO MAJOR WARM WELCOME to all who have recently joined. I am so beyond happy to have you here with me and through this pregnancy journey. I have a lo-fi ramble coming for you this next week... AND a pregnancy "weird symptoms and not so weird symptoms, cravings, etc" coming this month as well. (asme-style of course) HUGS.
@ EVERYONE!!!! I am overwhelmed with such love and gratitude. I feel ALL of the support and well-wishes for my little one, partner and myself! I made an unintentional softly -spoken close to the camera GRWM talking about my experience thus far with pregnancy, life changes, future of ASMR once baby girl makes her arrival. SPOILER ALERT: I will continue to make content, but some will be pre recorded so I can have time adjusting postpartum and spend time with her and family. I was going to have it up for y'all today, but I unfortunately do not have enough storage on my drive and my laptop is full so you'll have to wait a few days. I have a visual INCLUDED true crime whisper (a disappearance case so it won't be as dark as I know many cases can be. STILL so devastating for these families nonetheless) that'll be for you this month, as well as a JUICY story time, and I haven't decided what else is on the agenda for this month. EITHER way... SO much to discuss now and I would love to do a Q&A if y'all have any questions for a video... OR requests? ALL EARS. Big hugs... from me & baby girl!
I couldn’t be more excited to share the news of my sweet baby girl; coming August 2024,
.💗
In love with her already. My partner and I feel deeply honored this little one has chosen us as her parent’s.
I am over the moon. THIS HAS BEEN the most challenging secret to keep from you all! AHH.
I‘m into my second trimester, and felt like it was the right time to share. I was only 17 when I began this ASMR journey and now I am going to have a sweet baby girl at almost 25… and all of you along for the journey. you have been the rock and whispering push for resiliency, motivation, comfort, and my dearest friend.
I will be making a FULL LONG video in detail this next week. All my love…
Look at what I found, Y'all! An OLD ASMR clip I never ended up using for whatever reason. I think I planned on making it longer than I was able to and didn't have a chance/decided to not film the rest of the video.
I miss Nellie girl, so editing this clip was special to see. I didn't watch the entire duration so pls NOTE this video was filmed back in 2019. HUGS
I haven't done an eating video and ramble in quite a while! SO MANY requests for a life update with another sushi eating video. I do apologize beforehand if eating videos aren't your style. Rest assured I'll have another video out end of this week or early next week! Leave requests below.
Hi everyone! This is JUST a bit of an experiment for me. I don't touch on it a lot, but I'm actually a MAJOR true crime fan. Documentary's, unsolved/solved cases that are covered over on YT, etc. I only made this an audio only (which I totally get MOST of you won't fancy) but I won't hardly upload just purely audio versions of ASMR content over here. I decided to (loosely) cover the current case of the 8 Passengers.
I DO GIVE a trigger warning disclaimer at the beginning of the video. NOT ALL of you will enjoy this video and that is A-OKAY. I do have a true-crime (unsolved) case I plan on covering this month but with visuals. It's a relatively LIGHT story in comparison to a lot of other cases that are out there. ANYWAYS if you are cooking, cleaning, trying to fall asleep, or just want to check-out and listen to this then hopefully you will enjoy this video. MUCH LOVE ANDDDD, this was filmed using my NEW crispppp Blue Yeti.
Happy New Year! I HOPE you are well-rested from holiday break and if not, please prioritize sleep and rest. REST IS productive.
Let's have a little chat. Shall we? MAYBE unpopular opinion but the New Year has always given me conflicting feelings. YES, an amazing time for self-reflection, appreciation, recharge and even a regroup of how we might need to pivot for the new year. However... I've always taken issue with "New Year Resolutions" I find them to often be driven by critical self-talk, shame, and GUILT. (let me preface by saying not all resolutions.) I ALSO have a bone to pick with the exaughsting expectations that Capitalism and Individualism constantly PUSH on us. The mantra of "work harder" "no days off" and the unrealistic narrative of the American Value system (at least here in America) that upholds such value on being self sufficient-individuals. We seem to CELEBRATE personal achievements assuming the success comes to those who "wanted and worked harder than others." WE are a social species. Our hormonal and genetic makeup in fact SUPPORT interdependence VS independence. I think there can be balance for both! Having a social network of people who can provide guidance, motivation, and support. It gives us a sense of BELONGING and I can't help but think of all the resolutions that are driven by an underling desire to JUST BELONG rather than a "goal" for pleasure and pure joy. I know this was a lengthy ramble but I hope this resonated with at least ONE of you and maybe even brought GENTLE awareness to maybe some of the motivations behind your resolutions.
