hello~✸
I've been focusing on settling back into work after a long winter break so let's do a week in my life! As I was editing this, I noticed that most of my time is spent petting/annoying Earl (cat), working on the shop, taking jetlag naps, drawing, and cooking. I'm grateful for this little life!

“All the hard work you put into these videos really shows!” 🥰🥰

[@apple.cheeks]

ahhh thank you ;-;

[@pamtown666]

Thank you for sharing your life with us, seeing your videos are always a highlight, seeing your art and just seeing you live your life is such a gift

[@apple.cheeks]

[@MonaChauve-Souris]

Thank you for sharing you don’t like what you draw and it makes you spiral, I’ve been feeling the same way to the point where I dread to draw. Knowing you feel that too while looking at your wonderful drawings makes me realise it’s all about drawing past the feeling. Wishing we both find enjoyment in the process! ❤️

[@MuntenAppel]

Im a self employed artist Watching from Europe and at first I was extremely jealous of your huge house and kitchen! But when you said "I wish more than ever to be in a walkable city" it made me really appreciate what I have. Being able to just walk out of my house and grab some coffee or boba and maybe pass by a grocery store to pick up some snacks brings joy and spontaneity to an otherwise dull day of working from home. Also dropping off packages at the post office by bike is challenging and fun, even though my weekly orders are barely more than 5 packages. anyway thanks for sharing your life with us!

[@nezukoismywaifu]

Love you, Tiffany! Seeing your videos brighten my day.

[@ritlua]

Marry My Husband is SO good. The scene in the lobby of their office was.. *chef kiss* If you're down for a little grittier, Perfect Marriage Revenge is a good one after this one finishes! Also I just came from from two weeks in Japan and I feel you on all accounts. The walking, the different environment, everything.. I miss it so much. Also many hugs to you, loss is never easy nor fun, I'm sorry. ❤

[@SodawhanChannel]

I don’t know how you work when you’re with Earl. He is soooo cute. If it was me I’d petting him all dayy.

[@ephemeral_arts]

This was either my first or second of your videos and I absolutely loved it. I love how honest you are with your struggles, it's so human and whole and makes me feel safe as an artist who struggles with the same things

[@tsnoodle185]

You're my absolute favourite youtuber to watch right now

[@misisadventures]

Meee 🙋🏻‍♀️ watching the Marry My Husband series. thank you for sharing your journeyyy!!!

[@jeannettesalazar6442]

My favourite part of this video is when you work in your sketch book or iPad. 😊❤

[@micaela.herrera]

So relate to the kitty breaks. Love them.

[@ChantelleArts]

I always love seeing the sketchbook pages you create 😍

[@flamingoliz]

So glad you're back in Vegas! It's great seeing you settling into your new home. Love Earl ❤

[@dan.dexlion]

loving the hair, loving the slow living life since you've gotten back, and fully appreciating how candid you are with your mental health. thank you tiffany! 💚💚

[@felareed8251]

I Love Your New Hair !

[@TheStainedCanvasArt]

Welcome back! I love my paper like screen. I actually have a samsung knock off but it makes drawing on my tablet feel more natural for me.

[@IngridCHI]

I love your new hair colour! It's fresh on you ☺️♥️

[@rachelcqart]

enjoyed this vlog so much and your cat is adorable! 🥰

[@problemmonsters]

I love that you find beauty in everything and in everywhere you go. I also live in Vegas, and when I watch your vlogs it makes me appreciate the city!

[@carys4897]

Such a good video, you were so funny and it was just so nice to catch up and ride the road of emotions alongside you. To another year and thank you for generously sharing your life with us!

[@alexis_keith]

Welcome back Tiffany! I can’t wait to be a self employed artists❤️

[@saraisosa7137]

You have such a different energy in this video it’s great you have a different glow to you

[@cephalopterus2232]

i got a paperlike screen protector years ago but never applied it because I saw over time they wear down the pencil nibs way quicker :/ everything else about it seems like a dream!

[@kellybrassard767]

Wow those camera transitions be transitioning 🤌🏻I love your honesty, being a human can be so complex and full of paradoxes, yet life is beautiful ❤️

[@anagabrielagonzalez7315]

I really love your videos!

[@darkcaeol]

Yaay Tiffany is back 💜💜

[@apple.cheeks]

Hello! I’m back ✨

[@Musikchic47]

For fun, goofy romance KDramas I like Business Proposal, it’s based off the Webtoon but it’s just a silly good time :)

[@zeljkaciciban6213]

I'm gonna hijack your comment to add Love to Hate You, Mad for Each Other and A Time Called You (this one is not exactly fun, but interesting 😅)

[@artbyinky]

Honestly, I feel you on not knowing what to watch anymore. I’ve been rewatching a lot of old anime from my childhood. It’s nice to have on in the background. A lot of new shows and stuff look beautiful, but it just feels so stale when I get watching and I get bored of it! I wish I could recommend something, but lately I’ve been listening to audiobooks and podcasts. Even a lot of music falls flat for me lately. I really like the podcasts 10 percent happier, if books could kill and art juice! They’re great to listen too while you work.

[@nerd26373]

We will always support you. Keep working hard.

[@apple.cheeks]

[@waffelsmellgood]

❤❤❤❤ I watched Carol at the end of the world too and I found I copied her speech pattern afterwards. I told myself, Noooo!!!! I like mystery shows. True Detective on Max and Private Affair on Amazon Prime. I also really enjoy C.B Strike on Max based on the Robert Galbraith novels. She’s my favorite author.

[@apple.cheeks]

ooooooo! I'll look into it >:)

[@sabrinasingh1530]

i felt uncomfortable all the time and found therapy really helped ... and also lexapro lolol. i didn't even know people feel this free

[@honeybee.sun55]

[@priscilla9593]

[@penielsshavedhead_BTOB]

I've never been this early 🥹😆

[@apple.cheeks]

Good morning!

[@raebyrd9205]

I love the Marry My Husband webtoon. :D Would recommend!

[@amywoolsey6591]

I so agree about Paperlike. Hope it's okay to glow about your sponsor 😳 but not only does it protect your iPad, but if you're having trouble, like I did, with the glass coating wearing down then add a Paperlike cover. That's what I did and tada it was like a brand new device. So cool. Also- I just love Earl- so cute :)

[@_JoyceArt]

1:45 thanks 😳🤭 I’m not sponsored by paperlike, and have had mine since at least 2019. And it’s holding up nicely. It’s only now, that one corner is starting to lift a little. But that’s pretty good, for 4.5/5 years.

[@apple.cheeks]

hahaha, had to blow all of the crustiness away! Also for a screen protector, that's amazing??

[@ericacedasero]

Love the comfort of your videos:) what do you use to film?

[@ninjarabbit6972]

Marry my husband is a drama now?? 😮 I was reading the webtoon and I finished the whole thing. Now I've got a show to watch too ❤

[@apple.cheeks]

IT IS IT"S SO GOOD GOGO WATCH

[@carmenhylton3298]

The Last Immortal is very good.

[@l0stinw0nderland]

Where is your cute Woodstock sweatshirt from? 😊 really been enjoying your vlogs lately

[@alexmajors565]

Can you recommend a scanner brand and model for scanning of sketchbooks?

[@petitcapron]

fellow artist from Belgium here !

[@neverforgetpapa5386]

the transition at 3:49 is addicting ngl

[@apple.cheeks]

honestly so unplanned but glad it happened haha!

[@yoshivist]

I'm watching Marry My Husband too! I've only ever watched J-dramas because I like to understand the language a little bit so that I don't have to watch the subtitles all the time but I made an exception because the webtoon was so good!!

[@Christina24life]

Tiffany I’m going to need you put my paper like protector on because the last time tried it didn’t end well

[@AnOdetoFiction]

EXchange season 2 (a.k.a Transit Love 2)

[@kinbailey310]

Its hard going from Taiwan to the desert. You're in mourning for Taiwan.

[@jenverine]

I’m watching marry my husband too haha I’ve always wanted to try vlogging but I’m too conscious to put it online haha

[@niko.nixxxx]

great video! i've been following you for such a long time, so I am glad you are doing great! what brand is your backpack? it's been a while since I've been back to school so i been looking for a good bag for a while.

[@apple.cheeks]

Thanks!!

[@vickisigh2674]

lol at you physically cringing while watching the kdrama xD

[@laetitiadvn5371]

Marry my husband is so cool I had a hard time choosing between your video or the last episode 😂 btw your haircut is sooo pretty it suits your face so well

[@apple.cheeks]

Hahahah!! I love that! 😂

[@beingsila]

the secret not to cry is not to cut edges before, but at the end

[@HakimaLamour]

Marry my Husband is soo good!!

[@Quiyanca]

omg I read a webtoon based on the same story! I need to watch Marry my husband!

[@apple.cheeks]

I'm hooked, lmk how you like it !

[@Quiyanca]

@@apple.cheeksI watched all episodes that were out in like 3 days and had to wait for 4 last eps.... it was amazing, I was on the edge of my seat although I already knew the story!

[@chiquitasstudio]

i been watching literally the same thing

[@vobo7]

oh, you have both logitech peble and pop mice. which one is better for you? :)

[@apple.cheeks]

I personally like the pebble a lot better! But the last time I bought a second one, the left click button broke after half a year :( so that's why I'm trying the pop mice now~

[@izzaweihaas]

I live your vlogs and I also LOVE Marry My Husband!

[@anzaputri4553]

The sweet-warm tofu in video, I used to call it "Tahwa". I don't know is it from Indonesia words or maybe from Chinese word.

[@apple.cheeks]

My mom calls it Douhua which I can see how it’s very similar!

[@yana_or_whatever]

It feels illegal to be this early

[@apple.cheeks]

I won't report you ;o)

[@heyitzashley1]

I love this ❤ I’ve been crocheting for 14 years and completely free style. I suffer from Extreme Depression and Anxiety and I struggle at my job. My dream is too be able to get audience/traffic on my KZbin channel and tiktok/instagram for my Crochet business. I would die to be able to do this full time, unfortunately in my state pretty much everyone is cheap (I got told a 4 hour purse for $15 was too much by a lot of people here) so I struggle to get commissions locally 😂 my first craft show was a bust because of the amount of people also saying that. Made $30 and it was 6 hours event 😂😊

[@muffindolphindaphnee]

Where do you live?! So curious how so many branda can charge more and ppl just go for it bc it's a "luxury brand" ugh

[@heyitzashley1]

@@muffindolphindaphnee lol I live in a super low economic state. Minimum wage here is $12. It’s crazy because those same people I see wearing $200 shoes or $300 bags😭

[@Susesalles]

🏠😁👍

[@magikbeanshop]

we all watched that proceeate video huh

[@10mewmew10]

The Post-Trip clarity of realizing you don't live in a walkable city is so real 🥲

[@Metroretro594]

I read the webcomic for marry my husband! I didn't like it very much tho.. the mc was too, like, perfect?? and thr antogonists were just, evil. No depth. I did finish the series, since I started out liking the comic so much. Are the characters in the live action a bit more fleshed out?

[@apple.cheeks]

I never read the webcomic, but according to my friend the characters are a lot meaner in the kdrama compared to webtoons :0
