Hi my loves! Here it is....my VERY 1st Q&A! It's a LONGGGGG ONE but i wanted to try my very best to answer MY MOST ASKED QUESTIONS. This will be a mini series since there was over 300 different questions. In today's video I answer the MOST ASKED question which is.....What do HUBBY and I do for a living? Other topics are very personal and raw and I share more about my HUSBAND my marriage, kids and STRUGGLES. I also cover MONEY, work, how I earn my income and more! Part 2 will be dedicated to ALL your bag questions and depending on how i go there may be a PART 3 which is all the other LUXURY questions I got asked (best brands, shoes, accessories etc).
You guys sure asked a lot of question and I hope I answered most of them! Thanks to everyone that commented on my IG post or story asking me these questions, I really hope you enjoyed getting to know me better. Pls watch to the very end as I wrote a little poem about the current situation we are all facing at the moment. You are all in my thoughts and stay safe and healthy my faMELy! xo Mel

PLEASE READ TILL THE END: Ok this is officially my longest video! Lol I got soooo many questions from you guys! It’s a long one but it’s raw and honest and I tried very hard to answer as many questions as possible. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me better, it’s always a bit scary and nerve racking sharing personal details. However I’m so glad I made this video and I too also want to learn more about my #faMELy! Pls comment one fact or anything about yourself you want to share with me. It can be as personal or as random as you want. As so many of us are quarantined right now let’s take the time read each other’s comments and even get conversations going. I love our community, our family. I love and appreciate you all so much! We are all in this together! Stay safe and a big big virtual hug from me to you xo Mel

[@BrianJLovell]

Its very nice to see a more personal side from you Mel! Fact: I always show your OOTDs and Bags and SLGs to my girlfriend as an inspo for her!

[@martafornasari2302]

Hi Mel! This was definitely your best video! When you talked about your son I felt so emotional... Thank you so much for sharing all this personal things with us: I'm form Italy and especially in this time I'm so happy to have one of your video to distract from the situation... Can't wait for the part two! I send you a visual hug! Marta

Mel in Melbourne such a lovely msg through the poem ! ❤️❤️❤️

The poem ❤️

[@vpoppies]

Dear Mel, I've been following your channel for almost 1 year now (non-subbed til now). I love your positive personality and the great content you put out 🤗 Please please postpone a meet-and-greet at least until late autumn... The coronavirus outbreak is getting worse every day and it's strongly advised to avoid group gatherings and to maintain social isolation. I don't want any of you to get seriously ill like we are in Europe 😢 Greetings from Scandinavia 💚

[@BrooklynLondoner]

That was the best Q&A I’ve ever watched. So honest and didn’t dodge difficult questions. We appreciate you Mel. Because let’s be real you don’t owe us ANSWERS.

[@lifewithmj6907]

This has to be the most honest and heartfelt Q&A I’ve ever seen on YT. Loved hearing you talk about your kids and husband. :)

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much my dearest xo

[@joyjoyjoyful]

I teared up when you spoke about your son... you described him as your "SONshine." I can see the love that you have for him. Thank you for being so transparent and vulnerable, Mel. You don't owe us anything yet you still opened up. Love you and your channel. Hope you and your family are well!

[@tigresse969]

Just watch the full thing! It's funny cause im not even into luxury and would probably never buy a designer bag (not that i don't find them very nice or whatever), but i just love who she is! I think she's so nice and kind! I do catch myself often comparing and thinking that these people have more income than me, or these people have a nicer relationship or they have it all (money, wedding, family, happiness, health, etc). But she is so humble she makes me appreciate whatever i have, which is already a lot! Stay yourself, i'll keep listening! :) And to anyone watching: You are beautiful and i'm proud of what you achieved, whatever it is!

[@novwin1058]

I second that.

[@chenyangg_]

This is officially the BEST Q&A I’ve ever seen on KZbin. I just graduated and got a full time position with a company I love, all your advice are absolutely amazing... I’m not living in the same country as my family at the moment, and this video really did warm my heart, it makes me feel less alone. ❤️

[@MelinMelbourne]

Chen Yang wow thank you so much! What a compliment! I’m glad I could brighten your day and please know you are NEVER alone xx

[@cctwentynine]

Love your story! We got married at 19 (also finished a year of college first) and will be entering in year 21 married this year & 24 together. It definitely gets better and better with age. We have collected multiple degrees, nurtured a career and built a family of character together. I love & look forward to entering into the next phase of empty nest life soon. Parenting young teen adults is the new challenge but so far so good but it is hard letting go.

[@kyledacer2688]

Mel, you’re literally so humble and i can only pray you never change (or if you do for the better!). The BEST and rawest Q&A i’ve ever watched and never felt once that this was an hour long! I was so giddy when you were sharing how you met your hubby, it was so cute!!! Thanks Mel for sharing your life with us. You reminded me exactly why it’s important to have God to be the centre of every relationship. God bless you more!

[@mackenziesmith5861]

These kinds of videos and your honesty is why we have this community here. I love how you don't shy from the hard questions, and your approach to the harder parts of life is admirable - don't let anyone tell you different.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so so much. That mean more than you know. xo

[@mackenziesmith5861]

@@MelinMelbourne it's tough times out there, and even when the world is acting "normal" seeing how genuinely happy you are when you add to your collection is infectious in the best kind of way. It's us who should be thanking you.

[@rosalindmason9242]

I got married at age 19 and now I am 59 and still love my husband as much as I did when we were very young and our eyes met 'across a crowded room'!. In fact in some ways we love each other more now because we have a whole shared history of life adventures together. I think that being Christians has helped us stay together because the Bible perspective of what love really is has been a good foundation for us. 1 Corinthians 13. Difficult to do but very rewarding.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Rosalind Mason thank you for sharing! I agree with you, I don’t think we would have survived if it wasn’t for God and understanding what true unconditional love is. Love is a choice xx

[@gatoperson97]

Beautiful!

[@angieteng6433]

Mel can I be totally honest with you - you video is so calming and soothing, thanks so much for sharing all these stories and your life journey with us. I appreciate your genuine answer and transparent attitude to all the questions raised. I enjoyed this 54 mins video and it literally feels like you are an old friend to me... thanks again for sharing all these. Women power and community bond!

[@MelinMelbourne]

Aww thank you so much Angie! That is such a compliment, I wanted to answer everything brutally honest lol as we all go through our trails and tribulations. So glad you felt it was like we were old friends sharing. Thanks so much for watching the whole video my dear xx

[@leejane1082]

Hi Mel. It is so good to see a youtuber to share realistic financial ideas. I see so many younger women obsess with luxury goods and would go into debt for them. I really hope influencers can educate the younger generation about priorities and how to obtain luxury items sensibly.

[@SueMaeEveryday]

Um, who else saw the video length and was like “I’m not sure if I can commit that amount time”. Who then proceeded to watch the entire thing? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Loved getting you know you more Mel. You had a lot of challenges in your past and present, and you handled everything so well and on top. Inspiring and loved your poem at the end. ❤️

[@alicetrieu7733]

Being authentic and vulnerable to KZbin community, bravo to you.

[@Msbouncy456]

Mel, I absolutely love how you're such an incredible guiding figure. Too many youtubers out there are young and rich and spend their money frivolously without ever talking about their low points, creating very warped ideas of what is normal to young viewers. I love how you're a literal mum so you give such amazing advice regarding things like finance, managing time etc. I dont even personally see myself being a luxury collector, but you have such amazing energy that draws me in and I see you as such an amazing role model. I just moved from SG to study in Monash, so hopefully I can continue walking in footsteps similar to yours and find my own definition of happiness :)

[@allisonchen9798]

Hi Mel, I'm not usually drawn to Q&A but I have been following you for quite a while and always enjoyed your videos. I felt compelled to drop you this note after watching this video because of your honesty and genenousity, sharing your life with the world just touched me. Thank you for being so sincere and genuine, and a role model for us on KZbin. The world could definitely use more of you!

During this difficult time for everyone going through this virus, for me personally feeling very emotional as Im going through a tough time in my career and nearly made me cry hearing your personal challenges (mine is accepting compliments being so awkward about them) and journey and reminds me to not just think about the now and seem like its a dead end but looking long term at our careers, life in general as a journey until our very last breath it will than stop. I truely teared hearing your story and thankful that people like you exist and felt a connection being isolated and part of a community with you, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing.

Hi Mel, I came across Charis' chanel about a bag collection collaboration with you and I thought I'd check out your channel as well and this is the first video of yours that I've seen so far. I just wanted to say, from one woman/mom/wife to another, who have very similar family background, who love fashion and OMG luxury bags lol, I commend you for being real, honest and vulnerable. There's a ton of fake people out there and It's a breath of fresh air to see organic people. I truly appreciate it. ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with starting a family really young (we did too :) as long as the kids are taken care of and most of all we're happy. I can't wait to see your other videos. I've got time since we're quarantined for a while. Bless you and your family and MORE and MORE power to you. Stay healthy and safe. Your friend from Canada ❤️💕❤️

[@riddhigadhvi652]

Loved your video Mel,what i learnt from this video is you are well raised and responsible individual right from your teens. As a couple you both worked hard and created 8 to 9 sources of income to afford luxury items you showcase in video. This is not just limited you owning items you worked more than 10 years on luxury products and hencforth collecting it is part of your work and passion. Your values on donation rasing kids well,sharing close bond is impeceble. Thanks for this lovely video...i learnt a lot from you. Staying humble,kind, abd working hard to achive sucess was the best lesson. Stay smiling always!

I'm sorry for my bad English but this is first time I've listened to someone taking nearly 1 hour without pausing any moment! You're so elegant and attractive and confident! I adore you (and your family as well) so much!

[@sarahdeza2611]

This video was so honest and reinforced why you’re one of my favourite youtubers and love watching your videos. I see so much of myself in you from you’re childhood, to your personality, interests etc. I also love The 5 Love Languages (Gifts and Acts of service is both what I love to give and receive) and the Purpose Driven Life! Thank you Mel for being so raw and giving is us a small escape from everything that’s happening ❤️❤️❤️

[@zukoinstyle]

I really liked the transparency in this video. It’s like you told us just enough without giving away too much private details. Much appreciated❤️❤️❤️

[@skylart1411]

Thank you for being so honest, you made me cry when you talked about the hardest thing you’ve ever gone through.

[@kara6320]

It was so adorable how giddy you were when you told the story of how you met your husband and it's funny how you say one of your style icons is audrey hepburn because she's so elegant, be cause you also seem so humble and elegant!!

[@MelinMelbourne]

Aww thank you Kara such a compliment! xo

[@francescatai2588]

Thank you for your bravery and honesty in making this video! As a fellow Virgo and bagaholic, I understand your obsessions and admire how you turned what you love into a career. We both know how determined us Virgo girls are! ;) Please keep doing what you do on KZbin! Your fans really look forward to what you have to share!

[@hanisuhardi3098]

oh my, you really worked hard to make sure no questions to be left unanswered. that's really nice of you.

[@TheAgnesrabino]

This is actually your best video. Nobody is perfect but with God, all things are possible. A marriage grounded in Christ survives rough times. I will keep you guys in my prayers. God bless💒

[@SuperLolaCorre]

[@genvieve9507]

So genuine. So precised and honest in answering the questions. So inspiring! ❤️

[@MelinMelbourne]

thank you so much lovely! Just released part 2 I hope you find that informative too xx ❤️

[@mariaq8435]

Loved this video Mel. The whole story about how you got married and being pregnant with your son was lovely😘

[@carolyncook6970]

Mel I’m just watching this. I’ve been with you only since about May 2023. I got married at 18 in September after high school to a high school boyfriend. We were in same grade. We had our first child not till 5 years later. My husband passed away first of May and we had a wonderful marriage. I can’t stand it when people say but oh they are so young. Nothing to do with it. But we use to say we grew up together. 😀. I sometimes think it’s the best marriages.😀 You are so very lovely.

[@brendachiu9064]

Hi Mel! Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. You truly are a genuine person and that’s why i love watching your channel. Something about myself: I’m also an introvert. I love luxury goods especially bags. I like to dress well and be presentable. I am an interior designer. However, i also love outdoor activities such as camping, biking, golfing and skiing. As much as I love to dress well when i get home, i change to my lounge clothes right away to relax and decompress. Your poem is inspiring and uplifting. Stay safe and keep in good spirits.

[@alexajrod]

I watched every minute of this & I loved it, thanks for being so open and honest☺️

[@allyyim7210]

Mel, really really appreciate your most humble and honest way to share all your past, your husband, your kids, and even your financial situations. This is the best Q&A video I have ever watched so far, like you said raw and honest. Your end of video poem really really touched my heart 💓, especially in this difficult moment all around the world. Bless you Mel and your family, stay safe😘😘👍

[@cquinnth]

Gosh, that was lovely! I know lots of happily married couples that married young and met in high school or jr. high. You are lucky! I love The Five Love Languages too. Great book!

[@susandim4914]

I haven't watched your videos for awhile but this one came up. Its probably your best video for me. True, honest and humbling video. God bless you and your family! All glory to Him!

[@debbielahaie6371]

This is why I love watching you!! So open and honest, you really touched on things that you didn’t have too. I loved how you lit up talking about hubby and your kids. You seem very sweet and genuine and anyone would be happy to call you a friend.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Such a compliment Debbie, thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. xo

[@valeriagutierrez5064]

When I’m older I hope to be as beautiful inside out as you are Mel ❤️ Your genuine smile is so beautiful and it just radiates so much love and care🥰 Keep doing you Mel, I love your videos so much!! - Love from Qatar

Helen S thank you so much Helen! I appreciate you watching the whole way through. It was definitely time I opened up and as a result I honestly feel closer to you guys. Xx

[@cup_o_TMarie]

Your honesty is beautiful & the most amazing thing is that you want to assure that your children will always want to come home!!! Take it from someone who never wants to go home....it's the most beautiful gift you can ever give yourself and your family!!!! Congratulations on a beautiful life ;))))

[@thesecretbagaholic]

Hi, Mel! I’ve watched some of your videos, but not familiar with who you are. I’m glad I watched today, I’m amazed with your honesty and genuine sharing. How you talk about your struggles makes you just so real. Love how grounded you are in your faith and family life. I believe the world needs more influencers like you. 💖
