[@zuzu_1]

Ahh I literally just checked your page yesterday and was like wow I miss Minnie and I hope she’s doing well, and here you are !! It’s great to see you again 🥰🙌🏾. Loving the video as always, Be blessed!

[@amandalutton2203]

I have been checking these last 2-3 months but didn't want to bug anyone about it, "she will tell us if she wants to" kept going in my head, 😞. I was going to say the same thing! I figured to practice patience because her book came out and holidays and everything so yeah stuff happens!

[@cantplaywitmyyoyo]

I came to check this past weekend to make sure I was getting notifications. I noticed she in on patreon and was posting on there so I think I'm going to join that.

[@minniesmall]

Sorry for disappearing on you guys! I thought about posting something every day- even just a little update to say I was okay- but it felt so daunting to come back after so long 💛 Glad I finally took the leap :)

[@ImmortalMomentsArt]

@@minniesmall Well, hope you come back to visit, at least once a month. I miss your quiet voice and interesting content.

[@pamelahansen5928]

We miss you, Minnie💝😔

[@francineh.7825]

Your strategy of making yourself do nothing when facing resistance is genius!! I am going to adopt this strategy as I have realized I am really good at doing busy work/procrastinating haha.

[@minniesmall]

It really works! Doing nothing is surprisingly harder than it seems though 😅 Best of luck with it x

[@Blick_Art]

This video really struck a chord with us today! Every artist needs and deserves to take good care of physical and mental health. Artists have to spend long hours intensely focused on work, so making the studio a pleasant, healthy place to be is really a necessity, even if it feels like an indulgence sometimes!

[@kellyfrancis2700]

Hi Minnie, I've been watching your channel for a couple of years. Today I went into a small bookstore in found your book, The 30+Day Sketchbook Project, and just had to get it. Always love your notebook projects you show on KZbin and look forward to going through this book.

[@KelseyRodriguez]

Really glad to have you back! The art community is better when you're here

[@melodylandress8862]

Hi Minnie! I hope you’re doing all right and taking care of yourself. I know content creation can be difficult when life gets crazy -especially when it’s art content. Just know that you’re appreciated and you’re missed! I love seeing your videos and your artwork, but I’d much rather you take care of yourself than be worrying about content.

[@RealBlackEssence]

Minnie, Minnie, Minnie-bear....you don't know how much of a blessing it is to see you! You've been in my spirit all the last part of 2022 and the start of this year. You look healthy, focused, at peace, relaxed, and pushing through whatever it is to keep you in the race. I'm so proud of you, Minnie, and to Christ be the glory for Him taking good care of you, keeping you safe, and working through you to bless you and bless us! I can't wait to see and hear how you've been in the future. You're worth the wait! Love you, Minnie-bear!😊🙏🏽🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@minniesmall]

Thank you love, it' great to be back 🤗💛

[@LondonBridge99]

Hey Minnie I was just thinking about you and thought I haven’t seen you in a while! Hope everything is going okay!! ❤

[@VictoriaPKirk]

Glad to see you and hope you are doing well! Being busy is a wonderful thing for an artist and nothing to apologize for :)

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! 😊

[@BiancaHaeckDesigns]

You're back!! Thank goodness, I was genuinely getting worried! I can't tell how many times I checked your channel for a new post over the past several months XD It's so nice to have your soothing videos back, they genuinely help me on rough days!

[@PuffPets]

Omg the do nothing thing when work gets hard is amazing

[@minniesmall]

You should try it! It's actually kind of hard 😅

[@Justme_247]

OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG!!!!! SHE'S BACK!!!!!!

[@minniesmall]

🎊🎊🎊🎊

[@Justme_247]

I'm watching this again on March 25, 2023. Minnie we miss you. Hope you are doing well.

[@e-lagarto]

Minnie, I've carried so many of your small lifestyle, organizational, and creative tips with me through the years. I love your videos! Wishing you the very best.

[@linneailona]

Hi Minnie! I hope you*re doing well ❤🌷I've got so much inspiration from your videos lately and just wanted to send good vibes and energy there on the other side of the screen 🌻💫💛

[@jenjones7626]

Omg I've missed you so much!!!! Enjoying married life I'm sure!!

[@becca3956]

Minnie!! So lovely to have you back. I love starting my days with your videos, they're so peaceful and warm, so I'm looking forward to getting to do that again :)

[@AnkBert]

Since the last time you posted I kind of stopped painting and drawing regularly (and started crocheting instead!) but watching this video still made me feel so comforted. I love your videos, I think I'll always stick around to check in on your content once in a while :]

[@PatriciaPageMosaicArtsCrafts]

Omg Minnie that treadmill is a must, your videos calm my soul, love your creativity, you are missed ❤ 🤗👍🏾

[@minniesmall]

Glad you enjoy the videos 💖 and I'm happy to be back :)

[@WYLTEN]

I was just revisiting your old videos a few days ago, to company me as paint or simply get myself motivated, really interesting to see you back here today as I wonder where have you been, glad to have you back!

[@janalang5941]

I watched the video but I was really there for your nails!! 😻 love them!

[@vanessakaliwo]

Aw I was literally thinking about you just yesterday! So happy to see your post. I actually love the do nothing strategy. I’ve actually tried this a few times but now you’ve encouraged me to be more intentional about it!

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! Best of luck with it 😊

[@nyalis]

As somebody who struggles a lot with staying on track with work/daily life stuff due to ADHD, it’s SO inspirational to see everything you’ve implemented to keep things running smoothly! Thank you for this ❤

[@minniesmall]

Thanks for watching! I hope some of these tips might help xx

[@VLicious8704]

I'm so glad to see a video from you! I hope it comes from a positive place because your channel is a positive presence for me. Thank you for posting!

[@rheahalona]

I have missed your videos so much. You are my favorite KZbinr by far, so your absence was felt but glad you took the time you needed.

[@minniesmall]

Thank you so much! 💛💛

[@emjostudio]

You look so GROWN! So happy you're back! 💛

[@ElBeeEss]

Return of The Min. Hurray! So glad to have you back! Under-desk treadmill for the win - need to get me one of those!

[@minniesmall]

So glad to be back :) Thanks for sticking around!

[@aleshiadunning5022]

So glad you're back! Glad you're finding routines and habits that help you. I love the idea of sitting and doing nothing while you process your thoughts/feelings. That's a great strategy to help you keep moving forward.

[@lauradill1447]

LOVE YOUR ROUTINE.... ESPECIALLY the alarm trick.... u got me thinking i need to get a rountine too! thanks for all your videos and chatty conversation.. its a fresh breeze to start my day!!!

[@gigi-oy1go]

your nails are so pretty! would you ever make a video about what you use for them etc.?!

[@Basiieee_Artist]

The moment I tapped in KZbin I saw your video and was quick to check when it was published and voulla!!! To my excitement was already tapping in a new video in a brand new year. Oh girl, compliments of the year 2023, may Almighty God provide you clarity, peace, contentment, laughter in every moments of your life, be happy and stay inlove with your self and your future dreams to explore better. It is lovely to see you still blossoming like a flower, the immersed artist we love to enjoy. I just paused the video to send this. All the best for this year ahead of you and stay safe and curious!!!

[@minniesmall]

Thank you for such a kind message. I hope 2023 is a wonderful one for you too 💛💛

[@miriamgillham6701]

How wonderful to see you. It’s fabulous that you are feeling more balance etc. life can be really full on and it’s good to do what you have done and stepped back and taken the time to reassess what works and what doesn’t for you. Not going to lie. I have missed your videos but the thing is your self care is so much more important than anything else and I am thrilled for you that you are looking at ways to strategise and change things up for yourself so they work best for you. Congratulations on doing that. Love the idea of casual studio vlogs, but again. Only if it works for you. Thanks for this update, it was truly good to catch up with your latest news.

[@reallrain]

Super glad you're posting again and thank you for your presents!!!! Glad you're doing well😍

[@valerietg]

Glad to see you again! Welcome back and love this video (and a big fan of Ritual, too!) 💜

[@kicsikato82]

I'm so glad you're back, we've really missed you! Hope 2023 will be a happy year for you!

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! You too!

[@Foxsy_Official]

I love this video so much. It perfectly encapsulates that post new year feeling for me when I'm trying to get back to healthy routines after two months of holidays and disruptions. I needed this, thank you!

[@PoppyPatternsPDF]

So happy to see you again Minnie! I love your advice about sitting in your resistance instead of finding other ways to fill the space-definitely great advice I will be taking. 😊Hope all is well and I look forward to seeing you here in 2023.

[@pixiespages5679]

Yes!!! Love that you’re back! Some great tips I’ll definitely be stealing for the new year! Love the ‘do nothing’ form of procrastination seems like it’d really hit the nail on the head.

[@shannon_woz]

It’s great to see your 2023 return! Can’t wait to hear some updates soon but until then, keep up the amazing work and great vibes 😊

[@eliza.the.earthling]

✨ Lovely to have you back! I didn’t know desk treadmills like that existed!

[@aida087]

I absolutely LOVE and miss your music selections!!💕💕💕

[@minniesmall]

😊😊😊

[@sammybwoy]

Welcome back! I hope this year you bring us back in the loop ❤

[@minniesmall]

Will do 😊

[@DrFjords]

Both casual studio vlogs and a week in the life type videos would be wonderful!!

[@minniesmall]

Okay great! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@cartoonmamma]

Really relate to what you said about sitting in the discomfort. My challenge has been distracting myself when I don’t feel like checking in with myself. I definitely will continue on that path now that I am encouraged by your video also :-) thanks Minnie!

[@TheTrueTreeHugger]

Was needing one of your videos to start today, so went to find one and surprise! KZbin forgot to tell me you'd uploaded!! So glad to see you back, and to see you doing well :)

[@DrCalyn]

Every video of yours is just a cozy blanket☕️

[@ClayDisarray]

Oh crikey, I only looked at your KZbin channel *yesterday* to see if I'd missed any of your videos! Lovely to see you back, Minnie! 💛

[@kayjay9784]

Girl, you are so inspiring, thank you!!

[@Justme_247]

Hi Minnie! Hope you are ok. Stay well and blessed. Hope to hear from you soon when you are ready.❤😊

[@ChantelleArts]

Lovely to see you again 😊 I love your honesty in this video, sometimes healthy habits can seem difficult to start and maintain

[@minniesmall]

I'm so happy you enjoyed the video :)

[@brodenmckinney8168]

I loved watching this video, because I have a hard time getting up in the morning as well and getting stuff done that needs doing. If I don’t have to be somewhere to be or something to do in the morning I’ll just go back to bed and sleep and before I know it I’ve slept my day away. Watching this was such an inspiration for me and I found myself thinking about how I should apply this information to my day to day in what ever I choose to do with my life. So thank you for uploading the video Minnie, and it’s a pleasure to see you doing videos again. I can’t wait until the next video. I am down for a Vlog anytime. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@minniesmall]

I'm soooo happy this helped. I know exactly what you mean and I still have times where I end up wasting the day away, but having a plan in place and good habits to come back to has really minimised how often that happens. I hope you can find something that works for you too 💛

[@SabrinaJadeV]

It is so nice to see you back! I loved this chat on your habits--particularly your morning routine. The morning is always the hardest part of the day, especially when you're a night owl, and having an alarm beyond your bedroom door to force you up sounds like something I may need to implement into my own painting/video-making routine to maximize my time.

[@minniesmall]

I'd really recommend it. I did NOT want to get up this morning and it was so tempting to keep snoozing but knowing that I had another alarm about to go off got me out of bed and, once I was up, I was fine 👍 Gained a good couple of hours of my day that would have been lost otherwise x

[@SabrinaJadeV]

@@minniesmall That is me every morning! But thanks to watching your video yesterday, I set up a new system to implement beginning today, and so far I've claimed hours back this morning! It's always wonderful to see your videos and feel like I'm getting a check-up on my daily habits. Keep at it, Minnie! And welcome back!

[@deboramissoorten6765]

What a lovely surprise to see a new video . Even for a real morning person as I am , it's harder to get up early when it is dark outside , I tried the 'Wake Up Light ' and it is a really good help .

[@minniesmall]

I've been thinking about getting one but I hate artificial light in the morning. Does it really resemble sunlight?

[@deboramissoorten6765]

@@minniesmall the light is really warm and soft and the light slowly starts to shine softly and gets brighter as you get closer to the alarm hour you have set , it feels natural to me .

[@Sisu282]

when i tell you i RAN to youtube when i got the notification that Minnie uploaded!!! omg Happy New Year Minnie!!

[@minniesmall]

Yay! Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

[@theminimaljess]

You’re videos are so therapeutic and calming! Thank you for creating!

[@minniesmall]

Glad you like them!

[@batmanfan20101]

Glad to see you back! I was just thinking I hadn't seen anything from you for a while and here you are! Great tips and I love that desk treadmill

[@minniesmall]

Yay! Thank you!

[@kitanna1133]

Hi hope you are doing well. It's really nice to see you again 💕💕💕 I was going through your channel the other day and was thinking how much I missed your videos 💕💕💕

[@minniesmall]

Thank you so much!!

[@gloriamitchell3518]

Missed you, your name literally popped into my head this afternoon. Glad to see you back.

[@jazzgirlie]

OMG YOURE BACK!!!! It's so great to see you in my subscription feed again 🥲 ngl i was starting to get worried.

[@minniesmall]

Sorry for worrying you :) I'm happy to be back, thanks for tuning in xx

[@FannyMMOs]

Awww Minnie, soo super happy to see you again! ❤️ Especially now that I'm creating more and more art, you are still one of my key inspirations

[@minniesmall]

So happy to hear you're making more art 💛 Thanks so much for sticking with me!

[@friedebarker4736]

So greatful you keep uploading this amazing calming videos❤ Just yesterday I thought of you and your inspiring lifestyle and got very excited when I saw that you uploaded a new video. Thank you so much!

Glad to see you again! I always find your videos very soothing and motivating

[@minniesmall]

Okay cool, I'll defo do a video about that in the future :) Thanks for watching xx

[@ajiastudio]

So glad to see a new video from you, love your art and content!!

[@minniesmall]

Thank you!

[@moray2422]

Ahh your videos are always a nourishing tonic for the soul. I’m tempted to try out your ‘sit and do nothing’ technique when boredom strikes or my mind’s a bit restless though I know it will be hard lol. Anyway it’s lovely to see you round these parts and I look forward to your next check-in 😊

[@minniesmall]

Lovely to have you here too, thanks for watching :)

[@wanzetse]

so glad to see you're back. really missed your art

I'm so happy you're back!

[@minniesmall]

Glad to finally be back! Thanks for checking in all this time xx

[@XeniaSketchbookPages]

Thank you for this video! I also included vitamins this season. And try to walk for an hour every day. Fortunately, I have to take my child from school, so I have a great motivation to go outside 😁

[@noodlemint-art]

Happy New Year and a very pleasant return back! always look forward to your videos, i was even wondering the other day when we will hear from you again and here you are! This was a very relaxing video and it makes me feel more mindful on my own habits--good or bad--and i feel ready to tackle my day :)

[@canella45]

Minnie, you won't believe it but I dreamed of this video, specially of this image where you paint. I remember thinking "why did I dream about a hand painting?" 😂 Missed your content, I guess!

[@noritapatterns]

It is so cool to have you back ❤

[@minniesmall]

Cool to be back 😊

[@kaylasartdiary5242]

I love your video so much. It’s also been placed on my heart to tell that Jesus love you so much and ever watching your videos 😊

[@katrina1328]

I've missed your videos!

[@paulamcgurdy]

Love seeing you back and well Minnie 💫 Love to know more about your treadmill please?

[@TorrynMarie]

Love the video Minnie - very happy to see you back on here :) Looking forward to more! I need to try the habit stacking idea - I always intended on doing my core stretches right before teeth and bed ... but yet to ever do it more than that one time! P.S The little walking machine under your desk is brilliant! x

[@AuloriasArt]

Love to see you back! ❤ I was just thinking of you the other day. You book is so beautiful by the way! I’d love a chill “let’s catch up and paint”. Happy new year Minnie!

[@minniesmall]

Oh thank you so much, I'm glad you like it! Happy New Year 💛

[@bonvonfitz-g6434]

Hoping for an update I miss these videos xx ❤

Happy New Year! Hope it's a great one for both of us :) I have a good feeling about it 💖✨

[@maddscientist3170]

Great to see you again!!!

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! And you!

[@AndraMarieArt]

Oh I missed you! I've been trying to incorporate some better habits and strategies. I'm trying to make a little order of operations I can follow to close down my work area when I'm done. I think of it like closing a shop for the morning shift.

[@minniesmall]

Love that idea! Best of luck with it :)

[@bowesays]

The timing is wild! Seems a good handful of us were just thinking about you - just last night I was looking at one of the pieces I have from you, wondering if there’s another I would like to acquire and frame 🥰

[@minniesmall]

😊😊😊 I'm happy to finally be back!

[@mariemagiera8022]

Great to see you again, Minnie!

[@minniesmall]

Thank you!! 😊

[@karolsartoasis4815]

Thanks for sharing. I have missed your videos. ❤

[@annclyde]

Welcome back! Curious about the make of the mini treadmill..do you happen to have a link?

[@kerenvalentin7082]

I'm so happy to see you, I'm elated you're back. I kept checking my phone every month to see if you hand a video. I saw you on my notifications feed and I quickly jumped into your video. I'm relief that you are doing well. I've been watching you from the beginning. Welcome back and hope to see you more often. Have a great week.

[@minniesmall]

Thank you :) And thanks for being with me for so long 💛

[@aida087]

Hello Minnie and Happy New Year!! I've missed you and your lovely videos, thank you for sharing!! My Hubby has been dying to get me a treadmill since I don't always get to walk outside, I might have to now along with banning my phone from my bedroom once and for all lol!!🤗 Have a blessed year Minnie!!❤️🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@minniesmall]

Happy New Year 💛 I defo recommend a treadmill if you've been thinking about it (literally on it as we speak 😅) Hope you have a wonderful year yourself x

[@Paxilon6]

Glad someone else does the zapped mixed berry and yogurt breakfast B) Thanks for this video, I'm trying to sand off any edges from my day with things like this so these tips were great!

[@heatherinde]

So nice to see you back on here Minnie! ❤ Beautiful video as usual and I love all your life/productivity hacks. I also like to use visual reminders everywhere in my day. I have to know what was the blanket/rug you wrapped up the puzzle in?

[@minniesmall]

It's a puzzle mat! So genius! I go through phases where it takes me months to finish one puzzle so it's great being able to just roll it up and tuck it away somewhere when not in use. The one I use is from Jacques of London but they're all pretty much the same :)

[@shegoesnorth9143]

Omg Please tell me I wasn't the only one who thought "what fabulous undersea fish-unicorn is Minnie painting? Didn't know she was doing fantasty creatures now but I kinda love it" only to find out you were painting a hummingbird?! Wonderful to see another video from you! Habits like these help me too :)

[@minniesmall]

Haha maybe you should paint the fish-unicorn 😅 I love the sound of it!

[@shegoesnorth9143]

Oh gosh I would feel sorry for people who had to see that ...

[@penthevision4706]

Welcome back 💕

[@bowesays]

+1 to week in the life! And maybe a gentle update on the things you use to organize your life. Still Notion? It is for me even during my seasons of rest but curious about your end of things :)

[@minniesmall]

Cool, will do! My planning is pretty much the same as I talked about in my last video but I could go into more detail about how it works day to day in a vlog or something 👍

[@Táhirih1111]

Good to see you again ❤

[@nataliemein]

Miss your videos! Please come back!

[@inkmatcha]

Dear Minnie, I've been a fan of your videos for a while, but I never reached out to thank you for your content. So today is the day! Thank you for your videos, art tips and all the work you put into your content. You are an inspiration. x

it's lovely to hear from you 😊 thank you xx
