please include an Indonesian translation in your video, I really like, really admire your work. every illustration you make makes me want to learn through your videos

[@aestheticlynx4997]

I really love your long and hair personally I think you should keep it! Ps. Love all the clothes/prints definitely buying them😊

[@scoiataeli]

I use to have short hair all my life and now they finally grew into the length similar to yours. The long hair are so much easier for everyday life - just put them into a bun or a ponytail and that’s it. The short lengths doesn’t hold their cut once they are little longer plus for really short hair you usually use other products to hold them in a shape... The washing of the long hair is a little bothersome, but I do have thin and oily hair, so I need to wash them often.

[@lumira.caelaris]

I think it is great how you share your journey. You really show what has to be done to actually open and run a shop and that there are more tasks behind than just a few clicks on a website. I enjoy watching your narrated vlog style videos a lot =^-^=

Congrats on this new adventure Mimi! Love the little picnic setup for the photoshoot! Perfect excuse to enjoy a lovely day as well! ❤❤ Also, short hair is definitely comfy and easy to maintain! And looks super cute too!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Thank you! I'm always looking for an excuse to have a picnic 😄❤️

[@naturejelisabeth]

So so lovely!! #congrats Mimi (+Dan) I am happy with you guys!! Thank you also for sharing Teemill - I am looking for a sustainable print-on-demand shop for a while, but didn't came across it! Will dftly check it out💚 Wishing you lots of joy & success with your shop! :)

[@aimeecreative]

Congratulations! The photos turned out amazing! Where you guys live is absolutely gorgeous!! And YESSSS cut your hair!! It would look so good on you

[@mariadelaart5897]

When I studied art and started working at a graphic design studio. Tech didn’t exist and now I want to learn digital art I’m in awe of what is capable. But full of dread I use my mb phone and get confused Photoshop? Procreate? iPad or laptop? How to receive payments. Online security? So many questions run through my head 🙈

[@vickypurnell2825]

You look gorgeous in all the shots! I was just thinking how lovely your hair looked when you mentioned going short ! 😊😘

[@MimimooIllustration]

But just think how hot I will be when I come back to Brisbane! 🥰❤️

[@vickypurnell2825]

@@MimimooIllustration you look lovely with a long bob as well...I love that French look on you. Xx

Hi! So random but where are the overalls you're wearing in this video from? I'm struggling to find a pair in this stunning shade of blue! Love your content xx

[@xeinakingdom]

Congratulations!! :D the modelilng parts were very fun to watch!

[@katiebechtel9320]

This video was so cute and fun to watch. Very inspiring for someone with the same goal and I love the products! What is the sketchbook that you are using and where did you get your quilted shirt? so cute!

[@rebelliousappleapparel9373]

Hi Mimi. Congrats on your new adventure. I love watching your videos, you are such an inspiration to me because your messages relate to me so much. I hope you have lots of success! Would you share with us the excel spreadsheet layout that Dan created, it looks so organised and I'm sure lots will be able to use it for their businesses.

[@ja1996]

If you feel it’s a time to have your hair curt -do it, cause this thought will not go away (yeah, I’ve got a bob on my profile pic , I do understand u). And still you are young and your hair will grow again fast if you will not like the result ✨

[@donttrustlucy]

I feel like a lob or shoulder length hair would be nice. Short enough that it takes less time to dry, long enough that you can do some styling with it if you like. And congrats on the new shop! very exciting!!

[@Swanofdreamers]

Mimi, I love your videos. 💕I am wishing you a successful launch with your products. 😊

[@lawansetprasong6399]

I really love and enjoy your video, your arts are so cute, and the most inspiring, and amazing !!

[@mayalabeille7447]

hello mimimoo! you're super cute with your printed t-shirts and your long hair; don't cut it!🥰✨

[@samiamuhammed4540]

Good luck in your website set up and for all behind the scenes 💗💗💗😉😉

[@KimsNJAdventures]

Really insightful into this process of setting up your website and shop, thanks! Congrats on launching it too! I can appreciate how much time and effort it all took, even with Dan's help. 👏

[@MsSleeplessFreak]

congratulations! That's amazing!

[@susanaanastacio2795]

I'm opening my shop in the upcoming months as well, so this was really motivating ❤️😚

[@MimimooIllustration]

Oh that's really exciting, I hope it goes well! ❤️

[@DanicaAndVictoria]

I'm always an advocate for short hair!

[@clownfern]

"it's mid winter" sis you have green grass and sunshine what is this foolery

[@sungly3007]

Many Congratulation Mimi on opening your shop, this is a wonderful achievement. They are so beautiful and I love all the photos, Dan did an amazing job. As for your hair, I can see a nice 90s style, I am not sure, I guess they are similar to pixycut, only without a fringe. I always love this stile, as it also looks cute with a small hair clip to the side. All your art looks wonderfull you did an amazing for coming this far and thank you for all your encouragement and advice, I really appreciate this. I love your location, it looks so peaceful and quiet and all greenery surrounding.

[@extracozydiyfr]

Congrats for your new adventure !! Short hair are a lot easier 👍🏻

[@rvlpaintings4679]

Arr Mimi!! I LOVED watching you both set up and organise your online store!! Beautifully done and I'm off to check it out now!! (The 'Art is Joy' one is really calling me so I think I will buy something with that on it)!!🤭🤭🤭❤️ Another wonderful video and again, so informative too! ~ Rachel x

[@MimimooIllustration]

Aw yay thanks so much Rachel!

[@MystiqSoul]

Such a cute prints!

[@amada4170]

Everything looks amazing. It must be nice to have a partner to share work and support you, you both do an amazing job together

[@EsmayCreates]

Looks so good! Congrats on launching! One thing I would like to see is if you could let us know on the product pages which size you are wearing in the pictures. This always helps me visualize which size I'd need. Good luck!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Oh that's a great idea, thanks so much for the suggestion!

[@pacja1975]

I recommend short hair. I had long hair (longer than yours) for almost my life, and 4 years ago I cut it by the shoulders and now I'm wearing very short hair and I'm very happy. Short hair is freedom!

[@MimimooIllustration]

I think I'm going to do it! I've had it around shoulder length before and quite liked it like that!

[@bellamichikosigayle6496]

I personally keep my hair short since I feel it’s a lot more practical and easier to manage lol but I think you’d look gorgeous either way! I guess maybe change is good too? I really love how your products turned out by the way!! Go Mimi 🥳💖👏🏻🎉

[@MimimooIllustration]

Aw thanks so much Bella! 🥰🌷✨

[@jennymhulla]

I cut my hair very short after having had long hair for 20 years. It has been 2 years since I cut it and I am now trying to let it grow again. I feel like short hair is more easy to upkeep and handle, while long hair is more formal. The formal bit is of course just a sociatal norm, so being a norm breaker is cool as hek B) The imporatnt thing is that you are happy with your hair. Also, haven't set up a digital shop, but I've sold physical products at a con before, had fun but lost a lot on money since travel was quite expensive. Best of luck with your shop!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Yes so true I hadn't thought of long hair being more formal! I've had it shoulder length before and quite liked it like that and have since let it keep growing but think I'm ready for a change with it 😊 A convention would be super fun though and probably a great community experience even if overall not in profit!

[@itsdaksha]

What a lovely video! Happy to see you both work in tandem for this successful shop launch! The photos are amazing and the shop looks bang on! I wish I can buy your work one day, for sure!! ps: i think you'll rock short hair, it sometimes can motivate to produce great art and change up life a bit! welcome to the short hair club if you do!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Thank you so much for the lovely support Daksha! ❤️

[@nickdrinks7604]

Bob cuts are cool

[@PencilStash]

So exciting! The products look great and I'm headed there now to see what I might want to purchase :) Also, your photoshoot came out SO NICE!

i’m late to the party but just wanted to write HUGE congratulations for the launch of your shop, it looks beautiful! 🎉🥂 and thank you for sharing your process so candidly, your channel and approach are very inspirational and comforting much love!

[@Servations.Tablished]

Perfect week

[@linsaraillustration]

congrats

[@paodm6317]

I would totally recommend having short hair! Long hair is a lot to handle, so if you want low maintenance, short hair is a good idea, it feels lighter, however it can be messier in the mornings hahaha at least my hair is that way 😅

[@MimimooIllustration]

My hair is always unruly haha so maybe having it short would help 😄

[@shabnamfathima1414]

Waiting 😍

[@craftyorigins]

Hi, love your video. I just cut my hair to a bob. I love it. It's way easier and gives off the appearance of volume since my hair is thin, and long hair looked flat on me. I would love to see the Worm in a Hat artwork on a shirt.

[@JulianaRumple]

such a good video, loved watching you guys doing all those things together.

[@marie-antoinettevonseggern1210]

Aren't the designs for children?They are looking like for young people.

[@MimimooIllustration]

Adults can like cute things too, age is just a number 😊

[@marie-antoinettevonseggern1210]

@@MimimooIllustration Thanks:) Good luck!🌷

[@fuzzydragons]

the shirts look great 😀 short hair is def easier to manage, keep thinking of cutting mine, but its down to mu butt so sort of dont want to cut it lol

[@MimimooIllustration]

Oh wow that is SO long haha what an achievement!

[@fuzzydragons]

its more like im too broke and too lazy to cut it lol

[@saradandridge]

I HIGHLY recommend short hair. I cut my hair from about your length to a pixie cut and it is SO easy. I towel dry it, comb it to get the part right, and that's IT. I'm still getting used to using less shampoo and conditioner, and I dont have to buy ponytails, bobby pins, styling tools, clips, or any of that anymore. It's GREAT. Highly recommend.

[@MimimooIllustration]

Oh amazing! I don't know if I could pull off a pixie cut but that maintenance does sound very tempting!

[@JasminTheDreamer]

Super intersting insight into your shop setup, very well made and imformative. Congrats on your products and kudos for looking for sustainable ways to create the shirts!!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Thank you so much! 🥰🌷

[@eduardaarrais]

Short hair is definitely easier to maintain and to look more put up together, but it also gets dirty faster and its harder to hide it. Depending on your hair type you might also wake up with weird bed hair that is super hard to brush and make presentable, but again it depends on you having straight/wavy/curly hair. For this last point I do recommend a satin pillowcase 😁 I think you'd look super cute with short hair. I really enjoyed seeing the process of making your own shop and setting it up; I definitely didn't know much about it nor that it would take so much work. It ended up looking great tho, and some of your designs are super cute and right 🥰

[@MimimooIllustration]

Thanks so much for the input Rae! I have slighty wavy and unruly hair haha and have been thinking of a satin pillowcase to help with that so maybe it's time to invest in one!

[@kristineleedesigns]

This is so exciting. Congrats on setting up your physical product shop. I've been thinking about using a POD for my shop as well. Packing and shipping orders take up so much of my time especially as a mom. For most of my adult life, I've had long hair, but last year I cut my hair short and never looked back! As a mom, I save so much time drying my hair. It's just so much for manageable. Love seeing you and Dan working together as a team. I've been following your content for a while and you've been such an inspiration for me.

[@MimimooIllustration]

Yess drying my hair takes SO long so that's definitely a big incentive for having it shorter! Thank you so much for all your kind words and support 🥰

[@showherwork]

This was such a fun video! I love seeing you and your partner work together 🥰

[@MimimooIllustration]

Oh thank you, I'm so lucky to have him on board! 🥰

[@cin_cs]

i really, really want to thank you for being so open and transparent about your business. i always tune into your videos so that i can see what others are doing, as well as hype myself up for creative work! i've been in a slump (less motivation essentially, a bit overwhelmed) recently so i'm really glad to have gone through this video. seeing you work really hard makes me want to work harder and really get back on my game, so i want to thank you mimi! also, teemil is such a good option and i'll also be considering it for future use too ;)

[@MimimooIllustration]

Oh thank you so much for such a lovely comment, it motivates me to keep going and to keep making videos when I know that I'm helping others with their own creative journeys 😊

[@cin_cs]

@@MimimooIllustration yes definitely! thank you so much - i'll continue to watch your videos and leave comments here and there! 🥰🥰 keep up the amazing work!
