WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MY INSTAGRAM REEL WENT VIRAL ? + FUDGY CHOCOLATE COOKIE RECIPE

Sometimes it's really hard to hold a one-way conversation while baking and filming at the same time! I'm not sure I said exactly what I wanted to say, that the numbers mean nothing, it doesn't change anything, and we should all be less obsessed with numbers and judging people by how many followers they do or don't have.
If you're wondering where Carlo is on this channel he will be filming some videos with and without me, we just haven't had time so far and besides, we've only just begun here!
Thanks so much for joining us here, we appreciate every one of you!

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL RECIPE THAT I FOUND ONLINE:

Fame is fleeting, but a great chocolate cookie touches the divine.

I only follow you on YouTube, am not on any other social media. One addiction is enough! And I really look forward to your Positano and Tuscany videos.

As someone who lives in Canada, I find it interesting to watch others who live in different parts of the world, particularly those I haven't been to or perhaps would like to go to one day. I think that's what the average person who watches Youtubers etc. likes about watching these videos. It's that aspect of "seeing how the other half lives", so to speak. And what one person finds normal & ordinary maybe be completely different than others lives.

I’m enjoying your new channel of chats and everyday things.

[StarGirl-ll]

Being able to dip, into your life has meant a lot to me over the past two years while I cared for my husband during his cancer treatment and during my first year on my own. I used to share your life with him, telling him what you had been up to, how busy the area is where you live as we both loved our holidays in Italy. So it’s not a waste of time as you bring great joy, especially when you show your everyday life. Your visit to Capri was wonderful and brought back many memories of a holiday with my husband and my parents. ❤

Oh I love this chatty relaxed kitchen chatting with friends vibe Nicki.😊Love it!!!!

[lauramac]

This was delightful, Nicki! You're so natural on screen. I love the Positano Diaries and your friendly chats on Aperitivo are a welcome addition.

Hi Nikki. I completely understand. I have a tiny YouTube channel. Pre Covid, I had @ 1500 views per video. Afterwards, I now have @ 250-300. I do it to share my love of vintage/antique pieces and jewelry with like minded individuals. I very much enjoy your channels. I thank you for all the work that you put into them.

[livinlavidacosta]

As an amateur YouTuber, I know how much effort and creativity go into making just one video. I rarely comment, but I’ve been a loyal follower of your channel(s) for many years and truly appreciate all your hard work. Your creativity and effort shine through in every video, much like the perfect batch of cookies where every detail counts! Your videos gave me the courage to start my own channel, and for that, I thank you, Nicki and Carlo! 🙏

[essieessie]

Hi Nicki, thank you (always) for your honesty. You are everyone's dear friend!

[DawnWebb]

Everyone gets a pretty day once in a while! Cherish that memory and don't worry so much!

[marniethethief]

When you where with beautiful Elizabeth in that crazy expensive cafe, you where first treating yourself, and that is good because you two deserved, and at the same time you where showing us a reality typical of touristic places in general. I wrote once, and write again, we have much to thank you for showing us another Positano, the locals and their daily life.
thank you!!

[arianahoule]

Nicki, you do have an amazing life. I do appreciate your honesty and your wonderful creative energy. Whenever you and Carlo take on a new project, you spend so much time making everything beautiful. And so much of your life is a celebration. The fulness of friends, family, and homelife creates a lovely balance. Yes, you do have an amazing life and it has been built around hard work, determination, and much love.
I'm sending everyone loving and peace-filled thoughts.

[jacquelinewillems]

It's crazy how few realize that your videos is your job that allowes you to live your happy, wonderful life.

[spacecoastaesthetics]

I remember that video. It was so pretty and surreal looking with the Blue door.

[stacyritter]

For me personally, I love seeing the fantasy life that I would so love to have. It lets me dream. But I also love the day-to-day of what you do. It lets me feel better about my life. Keep doing it all!! We absolutely love you and your family!!

[villagecottage]

Your cookies look delicious. I'm a chocoholic. I'm going to make them today as we sit and wait for the hurricane to come through. When a storm is coming everyone goes out and buys their stash of goodies to make it through the storm. Most people eat it before the storm makes landfall. We're such weak people. Hahaha. Do not feel bad about what you post. You do not make me feel bad because of the beauty you see and experience. I'm right there with you experiencing it too. You are a joy. Keep up the good work and don't stress. Love you guys.

[bonniemacdougall]

That's how I bake. I put things away as I use them because I tend to get distracted too. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing some of your life with us. Congratulations on the growth of your new channel.

[Deba]

Nicki, I appreciate how sensitive you are that you're wanting to show different phases & activities in your life, that you're a genuine person & not constantly living a life that's so enviable its not even realistic! Many people would love to create a total facade so people would at least have the impression that they are "living the dream" all the time, just to be envied! I'm really glad that you do you so very well & authentically! 🎉

[flibbertygibbette]

Nicki back again with the relatable baking content, those cookies look great!
