Your video is so inspirational and calming! ❤ I want to take better care of myself now. I have been eating mostly takeout food but you have inspired me to cook more and in a healthy way. Keep up the good work🎉!

As the saying goes ☺️ Thank you for watching and have a nice day ❤️

[@kristieshoemake7343]

Love your vlogs! I am also learning to cook Japanese and Korean foods. Just bought a house built in 1918 after living in several new builds so learning to fix lots of things.

[@lifebymelaniee]

@@kristieshoemake7343 Thank you so much for watching! I’m happy to hear we have a lot in common! I agree, there are a lot of repairs that come with buying an older home! We had to redo a lot of the plumbing and some of the electrical wiring on top of the general cosmetics, but the house is really growing on me ☺️ I’m happy you’re interested is Korean and Japanese food as well! That’s mainly what I cook now because the food is so delicious while also being nutritious. I’m going to share more recipes in my new vlog that’s coming out soon. Thanks again for watching and have a nice day ❤️

[@kristieshoemake7343]

Tak jsem se zase něčemu přiučila. Nápadů je dost a vidím, že se pořád mám co učit. Jste velmi šikovná, i když je mi hodně roků vaše nápady mi moc pomáhají. I recepty se dají vyzkoušet. Moc vám fandím a jsem ráda, že jsem našla vaše videa. Hodně věcí teď používám a dělám. Jen tak dále Budu se těšit na další video. Helena

[@lifebymelaniee]

Heleno, moc děkuji, že ses vrátila a podívala se na další video! Opravdu si vážím toho, že jste tady a četl jsem vaše povzbuzující slova. Také se mám stále co učit, ale jsem rád, že moje videa považujete za užitečná. Budu se snažit i nadále sdílet užitečné tipy. Přeji vám krásný den ❤

Felicitaciones, usted es una joven que nos da ejemplo de orden y limpieza, eso es maravilloso. Aprendí como quitar las manchas de pintura y como usar los palillos con papel para la limpieza de la cocina cuando se está cocinando. Muchas gracias joven, Q Dios la bendiga. Ana Salazar

[@lifebymelaniee]

¡Hola Ana! Gracias por ver el video ❤️ Me alegra que hayas aprendido algo del video. Espero poder compartir información útil en mis futuros videos también. gracias por sus amables palabras. Espero que tengas un día maravilloso ☺️

[@leehwayoung6839]

Hi. Omg !!! I am Korean. I learn how to cook sundubu jjigae from you. IT looks so healing ㅎㅎ

[@lifebymelaniee]

Hi, thank you for watching! I’m happy you think the sundubu jjijae looks prepared well! I have a lot to learn, but I love cooking and eating Korean food^^ Have a nice day ❤️

[@marialuciacaro]

Hola, no veo tu casa antigua, se ve totalmente remodelada y modernizada. Muy bella además y muy organizada.

[@lifebymelaniee]

Hola, muchas gracias por mirar ☺ Sí, los propietarios anteriores lo remodelaron para que pareciera moderno, pero como es más antiguo, requiere más mantenimiento que una construcción nueva. Quería compartir algunos consejos para mantenerlo limpio y retocar cualquier problema donde el desgaste comience a notarse. ¡Me sorprendió gratamente ver techos abovedados tan altos en una casa antigua! Nosotros también hemos trabajado mucho en ello. Gracias de nuevo por mirar y dejar un comentario. Que tenga un lindo día ❤

[@jonahs_joyful_journey]

I love your method for cleaning the stove top! I didn’t even realize that Bar keepers friend has a liquid form, lol. Your method for storing green onions is definitely my goal 😍Those Zwilling containers have been sitting in my favorites for quite awhile now, I think it’s time to finally purchase them 😁 I follow Maanchi too! Your sundubu looks soooo delish 😋 I learned a lot from your vlog today. Thank you! ❤️

[@lifebymelaniee]

Hi, thank you so much for stopping by! ☺ I had completely forgotten Bar Keepers friend came in a powder form until I read your comment. That brings back memories because my mom used to use the powdered can version. The Zwilling containers are awesome! My fruits, veggies, and mushrooms last so much longer now. The smaller containers seal quickly and the charge lasts a long time. The larger containers take a few more seconds, but I usually just walk off and do something else while they seal. The glass is also really thick and I use the bags often as well. Oh and the glass is actually oven safe too! I haven't had any issues so far. They are said to be sensitive to moisture (so try not to suck up any water). I certainly love having them in my kitchen though! Thanks again and have a great day! ❤

[@jonahs_joyful_journey]

@@lifebymelaniee Thanks a lot for all these info. It is so helpful ❤️

[@theresaodea3811]

I need a touch-up pen for a few places in my house, too. I like easy repairs. You have a beautiful home and you take such good care of it. I know you have a interest and passion for Asian/Korean food but do you think you will ever incorporate American cooking in your videos at some point?

[@lifebymelaniee]

Thank you! Once the pens dry down they look much more natural as well ☺️ I got both the Painters pens and the Sharpie pen from Walmart. As far as cooking, I’m sure I will! I still occasionally cook other types of foods. I have an Autumn home refresh video where I made tomato soup and grilled cheese that was super delicious that you might like ☺️ Thanks for watching ❤️

[@snowheart7317]

I enjoyed and learned watching your videos.😊 in return i dont skip ads❤❤❤

[@lifebymelaniee]

Thank you so much for watching ❤ I appreciate that you took the time to let me know that you enjoyed the videos and were able to learn something ☺ Best wishes and I hope to see you again ❤

Olá, estou amando acompanhar seus vídeos ❤ vi que você tem um jeito bem Coreana. Você ja morou na Korea ou Japão? Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@lifebymelaniee]

Olá! Obrigado por assistir! Eu uso muitos métodos de cozimento e tenho muitos itens normalmente usados ​​na culinária asiática porque passei muito tempo aprendendo a cozinhar alimentos que meu namorado e eu preferimos (ele é asiático). Eu originalmente não estava cozinhando comida coreana na época, mas descobri que há muitas semelhanças e tudo o que tenho funciona bem para cozinhar comida coreana também ☺ Obrigado novamente por assistir e comentar! 🥰

[@lifebymelaniee]

O estilo do vlog é influenciado pelo estilo vlog coreano e japonês. Embora o primeiro vlogger que assisti e gostei tenha sido o vlogger chinês Liziqi. Eu recomendo os vídeos dela ☺

[@simonevalentim9754]
