  1. I'd be so happy to be on my shift and receive a lovely gift from a customer-friend! Definitely made their day more special! I can't believe the chickie fell and broke AGAIN! lol Gotta buy 2 next time. Happy Holidays!

  2. Just got an order from you yesterday, thank you for all the hard work you have done to get the orders out, it’s very appreciated

  3. Hiii, I have a question for anyone who knows, what is the name of Annika’s aesthetic?? It’s just so pretty!!!

  4. Watching this to get over the wow-my-dad-wishes-he-weren't-my-dad December 25 sadness + Dec 26 shopping anxiety and I want to say these cookies must have made everyone really happy at the post office! Even those who couldn't eat them because of their allergies (and you're a real one for writing them down, sick of depriving myself of snacks bc I don't know what's in them). On the last day at work before the holidays a student came the library I work at and offered some cake- I asked if it had milk in it and it did so I had to decline but the thought of him baking all this over finals week and bringing it to us made me sooooo happy and warmed my heart. It's just the idea that someone thought of you and imagined your hardships so much so that they wanted to comfort you and cheer you up. That's what you do with your videos, in a way! Happy end of year, Annika!!

  5. holidays have been tough this year as I'm away from my family in a foreign country. sending love to anyone who is in the same boat!! we can get through this🤗💗

  6. one hand egg crack from a person who has worked in kitchens- big round side of egg goes on top, crack egg on corner of something, then stick thumb into crack pocket, lift up with thumb from inside of crack pocket, voila a one hand egg crack, just dont be afraid to get the hands dirty. (sorry for calling it a crack pocket i dont know what else to call it lol)

  7. Try asking the Post Office if they have any bins you can have (they'll have the USPS logo on them) so you don't have to worry about not having anything to put your orders in. Also a small dolly, like a foldable one, and some bungee cords would help if you have too many boxes or too big of a box would help you get them to your car.

    Also buy some nail glue for when your nails fall off then you can prolong their life!

  8. Have you considered plant-based protein? I am a Vegan of 10 years. I eat beans, soy, and mushrooms. I also take protein powder in my smoothies.

    I love your wood low table! I am considering purchasing two metal low tables from Dollarama with a rainbow stripe and Volkswagon print. I love sitting on the floor for doing craft projects.

    I did rehab for a year with a chiropractor, physiotherapist, massage therapist, and a kinesiologist. I injured myself after taekwondo class. I am still exercising under the direction of a kinesiologist. I am back at university preparing for chiropractic school as a result of my rehab experience.

    What do you do for your business? Do you hand-craft your products?

  9. Watching you try to do things with those nails is entertaining. Not saying it to be mean…it’s really interesting to watch.

  10. omg! i LOVEEE your nails! I want to get them like that, but don't exactly know what they are called? (if you know what i mean) If i asked someone to do it for me or buy them online, i don't know what to search/say. also, nice video! makes me feel very motivated <3

  11. Annika is the actual "day in my life" influencer that actually gives a true and realistic video-

  12. Hello! I have a quick question… do you print you stickers and get them mailed from a online website if so what website? If not do you use a cricut machine.

  13. i'm a girl myself and love sparkling nails but how in the world do women get stuff done with out breaking their long nails!? it shocks me every time 😂

  14. dammmnnn gurrrrl where did you get that aespa/ shirt from??? it's really cute💕 it's literally soooo sweet of you to give out cookies <3

  15. I totally felt the same struggle this year with gift giving and not being able to wrap everything all cute lolll but your gifts and notes were still so thoughtful ! And your consideration with the cookies for the postal workers ahhh I hope you're enjoying your holiday season ❣

  16. Awwww! I am sure the post office employees enjoyed their cookies! Thank you for the kind message you left at the end. Holidays are rough so thank you! Happy Holidays!
