Celebrate day 365? Here’s what YouTube does to grow after year one

The truth will be revealed when Carmina Lifestyle reaches the deadline of her 365 days on YouTube on October 23, 2025 . A month ago, it was a hot topic among my subscribers who were in a similar situation, with their anniversaries approaching. I also know friends who have had their YouTube channels for many years, and while they didn’t get monetized before their anniversary, they managed to achieve it afterward. Carmina is curious to see how things will unfold for her since she doesn’t do live streaming , unlike my friends who are already monetized. I’ve also noticed other channels with many subscribers that aren’t monetized, even though they do live streaming. Ultimately, it’s really up to you how you want to approach achieving the monetization timeline. Today is Friday, October 24, 2025. Looking at my YouTube Studio data as of October 18, 2025 , my public watch hours are at 1,506 out of 3,000.  It takes time for watch hours to update and reflect accurately. Carmina is not in ...

Carmina's Review on Wine Tasting at Laird Family Estate



Catalina had planned a surprised for Carmina for her visit to Napa Valley over the weekend. 

All through my life I've never experience a real wine tasting with your best friend often seen in social media from friends you've known for a long time.

Sometimes we don't get those invitation we see from friends who have real buddies to hang out doing what they call relaxation by unwind yourself enjoy the wine savoring the appetizers that blends well with what type of wine you have in your glass.

Catalina had reserved at Laird Family Estate in which she has a relative Ezra Chavez currently working there to explain us what type of wines available for us to try.

  1. Cold Creek Ranch Pinot Grigio Sonoma-Carneros
  2. Napa Valley Sauvignon Blac
  3. Cold Creek Ranch Chardonnay Sonoma-Carneros
  4. Red Hen Ranch Chardonnay, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley
  5. Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir
  6. Jullian's Red Wine Blend, Napa Valley
  7. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 
Carmina's Review:

Cold Creek Ranch Pinot Grigio Sonoma-Carneros from the wine can be deceiving thinking it is water in a glass but when you try savoring it has a floral with fruity taste.



Carmina had liked this one the best out of the remaining wines she had tasted.

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blac



Carmina didn't like it being strong aroma from the first sip.

Cold Creek Ranch Chardonnay Sonoma-Carneros there is a strong texture where the butterscotch lingers in your palate.



Ezra's Recommended which is his favorite the Red Hen Ranch Chardonnay, Oak Knoll District.


Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir has a berry taste.


Jullian's Red Wine Blend, Napa Valley is a complex dark plum that was too strong for Carmina.



Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was too strong.



What really blends together with your wine is different type of cheese, crackers, dried fruits, nuts, infused salami and chocolate.


Carmina is grateful for Catalina for her treat and giving me a chance to write about my experiences.

Everyone has different palates so go based on what you prefer based on your own preferences.
