[@rachelfinder]

Rocket: pick a trip! Sha'an: no, im obsessed with knowing how the tickets were printed!

[@Marachlo]

you and rocket are so cute !!! I loved watching you open his gift for you -- I can feel your love for each other!!!

[@furrylittlepeach]

😭❤️ i can't believe he made those tickets! I'll have to take a photo of them for the next vlog because i forgot to and you can't see all the details 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@thomaskaracwilson]

Honestly, I’m here for the format of this video. It felt like a tag-along, slice of life experience with you. Keep it coming, if this is what’s working for you!

[@ordinaryowls]

the pure adoration on rocket's face as he's watching you open the tickets made me cry so hard, it's just so sweet to see 😭

[@angeljemmett9729]

I've been watching you since you were 23. It's been really cool seeing you grow and succeed :)

[@furrylittlepeach]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alicias6032]

Love the ambient sounds. Super relaxing to watch people go about their day and film what they see. Especially when shopping at stores that I can't go to. lol

[@elizachin6934]

Sha'an I don't know why but a 32 minute vlog of yours feels like three. I felt so comfortable and warm watching this. My family is half from New Zealand, half from Malaysia, so hearing the Australian/Singaporean accents in this just added even more to the comfort xx

[@littleseaturtle]

i love how adamant you were about finding out how/where he got those printed lol, such a thoughtful gift and a sweet moment 💛 i love seeing people receive gifts that show how understood and loved they are :') happy belated birthday 🎂✨ edit: i enjoy the ambient sounds!! didn't notice a buzzing at all, the video felt so lovely and warm

[@rn__rina]

and idk if anyone ever told you this but the way you verbally express your appreciation and excitement towards your surroundings is so admirable!! it's really sweet and more people (including me lol) should make it a habit

[@elmagodelmotor]

rocketairlines, lowkey very very curious about the boarding passes too!!!! i really like that he was so dedicated, you guys are beyond supportive of each other and it's really amazing to see

[@ChantelleArts]

The view from your mums house is insane 😍😍 looks like you had a fantastic birthday and those plane tickets are so cute!

[@aimeecreative]

I love how you’re genuinely excited for the paper and where he printed those boarding passes lol! I would’ve 100% reacted just like you and must knowing where that was made and printed 😂 happy birthday 🎉 birthday twin! 😊

[@jaimeo2312]

Yes I really enjoyed the sounds of life going on in your video, it was so fun to watch. Tasmania is such a beautiful place.

[@helenageorrge]

rocket: so which trip would you like? :D sha'an: dude the printing idc abt the trip where did you make these!!! i love ur priorities jfkdlfs

[@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33]

Didn’t notice the buzzy stuff. Just thoroughly enjoyed the entire video and Happy belated birthday btw. Can’t get my head around the fact that it’s summer on the other side of the world. Oh and happy pre emptive Christmas back atcha

[@D_S_H]

I actually loved the way you edited this video. While I was watching I couldn’t figure out what was different. The ambient sound made everything feel warm and cozy if that makes sense ❤️ thank you for share such beautiful moments

[@spicysabsroll9022]

love the ambiet sound!

[@ruzgaRawr]

I found it so sweet that the printed tickets and the details on each ticket were as important to you as the gift of the trips itself. Having two options and creating a gift that you would enjoy opening show how thoughtful Rocket really is! Your videos have been my comfort time through 10 years of schooling, so happiest of birthdays!!

[@candaceabernathy7568]

Shanny there's so much I learn from watching your vlogs. It's not just visual art/ independent creative stuff -- but also things about healthy relationships and little life things. Ugh. Just so grateful to you for sharing this stuff with us. You're amazing, thank you thank you thank you.

[@Lisaturation]

i love that you commented on the editing style because i really enjoyed it while i was watching it! now I'm inspired to edit like that!! loved the video and happy (belated) 31st!!

[@Piasays]

No where near boring!! Love an ambient moment

[@pao_hola]

I think it’s so cute that your mom collects sonny angels hehe

[@danielgomezart]

oh hey i turned 31 too! on the 29th of november :) happy bday :)

[@ingx2]

thanks for sharing your trip. Tas looks beautiful! Please let your mum know that she is super chic & I love her house renovation!

[@jodybernalable]

Loved the ambient sounds, much much prefer it over the voice over!

[@Pomelo.Digital]

I am part of the OG Tumbler crew. That was over a decade ago!! Remember when you were super into foxes and whales and deers?? 🦊 🐋 🦌 😂 When you did your first iPad drawing class at Apple, I was blown away. And look at you now! Wow, how time flies, and look how much you’ve grown! 🌱 It’s been a decade, but doesn’t feel like it - your community is still as positive and nurturing as ever. Thank you for being you, and sharing your journey openly with us! Here’s to a decade more to come 💕 Happy birthday, Sha’an!! 🎉

[@furrylittlepeach]

This is so nice! I felt so emotional reading this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alexandratracey8252]

We all need someone to look at us like Rocket looks at you. THOSE TICKETS WERE FANTASTIC!! Also, loved the editing of this video. Felt like we were a character in the video too. PS. Get a chicken!!

[@jezriemarcano-courtney4126]

I really enjoyed this format! It’s such a treat to see you outside of the studio. I really like the moment to moment reel, but I also think that voiceover has its place where needed. I hope this makes sense.

[@emilylawton9877]

I have a chronic illness and I’m currently bedroom bound. I haven’t been well enough to travel or spend a holiday with family in a very long time. watching this felt like I was there too, and I often found myself smiling along. thank you so much for sharing your birthday adventures with us 🫶🏻

[@rn__rina]

i love your approach to hosting parties! i'm not used to hosting at all, so seeing you DIY really simple things for your birthday party gave me a lot of inspiration to do it myself one day 🤩💖

[@fullbloomandco]

I moved from portugal to the US so the holidays are always a bit emotional. I have my own family now so I am making our own traditions and memories and that is cool and lovely!!

[@jackieverbitski791]

This is one of my fave styles of video- casual lil slice of life ❤

[@Marsgaga]

It was anything but boring! It is really nice to have something that feels warm and light during winter in the northern hemisphere. Thanks again Sha'an for doing what you do always and happy belated birthday of course ❤💛💙

[@chellykins]

This vlog made me happy 🤗 I love the way you looked at Rocket when you were opening your ticket present. Ive been following you for years and I hope to find a love like you two have one day.

[@wk7763]

Really liked this video style too! It was easy to watch + listen while I worked on my projects. Felt like I was there.

[@fraffee]

YES!! As a viewer, loved the ambient sounds :D

[@noovernightguests]

I know I'm late but Happy Birthday!! So wonderful to see you with your family. 💕 Thank you for putting all this together because that trip to Tasmania is EPIC. You are definitely an apple magnet now. You can find an orchard, or cider joint anywhere. Your reaction over the tickets is the BEST. When someone really knows and sees you and just comes up with something so thoughtful. Also I appreciate the skillful way Rocket dodged those questions about the tickets. 🤭 Everybody stay safe and well!!

[@helenm1085]

I think I'm able to see so much of my family because I have to live life slowly (I can't work at the moment), and it means I can catch the train down to the beach to see my grandma. I am really valuing getting to know my grandma better. I feel like in my mid 20s I'm becoming a proper member of my family instead of the baby of the family, and I'm able to connect more to people as individuals. I think some of this is just down to feeling more present in the world in general. My family all catch up at a big Christmas pot luck lunch and it's always wayyyy too busy to actually talk to everyone haha. It's nice to see you spending quality time with your family :~)

[@joyishly]

I liked the ambient noises in the vlog! Very immersive😌

[@cris_tamay]

I really liked it! I love it when you share stuff other than art related videos. And I like the sounds and noises of them itself. Btw I want to see an update of mama's cottage! The view is gorgeous.

[@gooze_design]

your mom is such a reflection of who you are as an artist, how cool that she dedicated a room to you!!!

[@evabowan]

this was one of my favourite vlogs of yours, the ambient sounds were great!

[@Ash_Aszhari]

Aww man. This was beautiful. Getting second hand birthday joy over here. Especially THOSE TICKETS!! 🥳🎈🎂🎉

[@after_twelve_]

I loved this video so much, it was so intimate and casual and inviting and warm! I really like the natural sounds, music and voice over I can’t choose! It was so sweet seeing how thoughtful rockets gift to you was, and how much you gave him the love back with so much appreciation! My heart felt so warm watching that clip, so much love in that part and in the whole video! Happy belated birthday, I adore your videos so much, I just never remember to comment 😭

[@HeyNins]

Bless Rocket's heart - those tickets were amazing!! Happy birthday, Sha'an :D Hope you had the best day!

[@Natalie.Trinidad]

I actually really liked it the way you edited it! I watching during my lunch and enjoyed it so much!!

[@jaymieburton2971]

Your mom is like pure joy personified! She is so sweet and always seems so happy her energy is adorable 😩😭

[@Pomelo.Digital]

I love the ambient sounds. Felt both like I was there, and also nostalgic. Not sure why. Maybe reminds of what I’d imagine the 60’s to be like? 💃

[@pjgr1231]

I love both video styles, the voiceover and the more ambient sounds! honestly they're both enjoyable, it's nice to hear your reflections in voiceovers and it's also nice to just hear people chatting in the clips and listening to the sounds of life :)

[@luckyguess_]

awe I love pink lady apples :) Happy birthday!

[@misseclair]

Awwww those should go in your photo album ☺️

[@Alittlelostinrain]

loved the vibe of this video! I love to live close to my family. Although my town is very boring to live in, my family totally makes it worth it to stay.

[@guadamelone]

Sha'an your mama looks so fabulous with that hair color!!! Wishing you a very happy belated bday from the states 😊💕💕

[@KimiPetri]

It’s so nice to see you both are humble, appreciative of the little things people. That’s genuine and hard to find in humanity these days. Thank you for being awesome human beings 🤗

[@shelbygoodwin9124]

I really loved hearing all the bg sounds! It felt like I was watching a home movie at some points and felt very nostalgic and comforting.

[@foodlovingelephant]

Happy bithday! I love you, rocket, your family, basically everyone in this vid and in your life. Honestly such a lovely bunch ❤ ...also, this will probably become my new comfort video.

[@jajsanir]

Love love loved this video! I enjoyed the format of this one, as other people of said it had a lovely “slice of life” kind of feel! ✨Rocket’s gift to you was so neat and thoughtful and your reaction was absolutely precious! Watching you two together always warms my heart 💗 Wishing you and your family the very best!! P.S. I live in the states, in a city called Richmond 😂

[@leenabowman9716]

Loved the format! I liked hearing the background noises too

[@jucassettari]

i swear you and rocket are the cutest thing ever

[@rmclarke15]

OMG! I'm 64 and you two are just SO adorable!

[@cuppycuppycuppy]

Vids with ambient sound are lovely, agreed

[@LacyMayArt]

I liked the vlog style and the ambient sounds. I thought it was great! :)

[@yessie1]

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY 🥳 Also, I’m from Texas, so seeing a kangaroo 🦘 just casually jumping around your moms backyard was mind blowing to me lol

[@jessicamorgan763]

Happy birthday!!!! 🎊 Love this video and getting to see you with your loved ones. So sweet!!!

[@eminorthworld]

Happy belated birthday. I love the ticket idea. Definitely will think about it too❤

[@mshelper4560]

Great editing style. The audio and the visual were very interesting with a calm mood. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@kdsketch]

I love every video you make, in every style, voice over/ambient, honestly could be absolutely anything :)

[@JulianaRezz]

Happy B day Shaaan, 🎉 Thank you for beeing who you are! You inspire me a lot to be more myself and draw with joy! Your aura is happy and bright! I wish you all the best!

[@artphotography9158]

Haaaappy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉🌸🌸🌸🌸✨✨✨✨☀☀☀☀☀🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@monawatson9523]

Would love to see a journaling process from you, like diary, if you are using one of these. You’re such an inspiring person xoxo

[@meghan369]

I liked the sounds, I didn't really notice them much either! Beautiful video as always - warming and inspiring.

[@marguiWaterland]

Your videos are so fun and wholesome, thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤

[@stagedstardust]

[@sujanasingh4840]

Tasmania is so beautiful!!!

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

[@samalam_lt]

So wholesome. Sha’an your videos make me happy every time I watch them 🥹💕

[@marinagiardinieri]

Hahaha, your reaction is soooo a designer reaction!!!!!

[@carolinebernhardsen3501]

[@bookymargoof]

omg how beautiful is the peachy room in your mom's house?? she has great taste and that house is going to be absolutely stunning

[@EveFleurCeramics]

I'm 5mins into the video and I can't get over how thoughtful and sweet rocket is!! The tickets are amazing. You've got yourself a good one there!

[@zhiqihoe]

I loooooove the aestetics of this video!!

[@laurenevans1960]

Loved this editing style!! 100%

[@dunnozaur8756]

I love that you've been most interested in the way he printed these boarding passes ahahah

[@waffelsmellgood]

I loved the mini film/vlog. It felt like a peek into your life. I love your mom’s hair!!! So rad!

[@kishasworld]

What’s so funny is that the artist I am I probably would’ve preferred the fake ticket to the real ones because so much thought went into every detail even the paper down to the paper like he really thought that through I personally would’ve been tears. Cool. The cute little face that he did with the tape. I love it.

[@cata_jpg]

I love hearing the ambience! Was watching this while doing my December journal spread! was so nice seeing ur aussie xmas knowing I'll be having a kiwi xmas soon! such good vibes!

[@ThePattiw]

So nice to spend time with your family and have an early Christmas!!!

[@tennillecarmody7740]

The view from your mums house is so beautiful! Love this style of vlog!

[@dwan_herself]

[@freebirdsjournal]

I loved this one! You have such a lovely family and your moms house looks stunning!! The was no point in this vid that I thought was boring so don't worry!!

[@colossigh]

I do know what iSketch is! And I enjoyed the clips, fuzzy audio and all

[@hellagreen2734]

I adored this vlog and the editing. You guys make me so happy. love yas

[@donthavetowritemealetter]

I really loved it! and to answer your question I enjoyed the lack of music :)

[@LaurelWashburn]

not boring at all!

[@m.g.4830]

When you were first starting your freelance career, what would you do on a day to day basis? What did your days look like?

[@shawnajeree]

Super cute! Loved the video! Happy Birthday 🎂

[@norinette_]
