a day in my life as a vendor at the bryant park winter village❄️🛍️ // nyc market, small biz owner

[@travelingponystudio]

I actually screamed when I heard my name!! I'm Carri- the one who ordered the peppermint mocha mini, gingerbread, and the trio! I LOVE your videos so a big shock for me🥺❤

[@Lyndavegandoyle]

It was a pleasure meeting you on Sunday night as you were packing up. You are an inspiration to the women artists in my family.

[@monicarazak]

so great meeting you!! thanks so much for stopping by:)

[@LindaThao]

A 40 minute video!? You are truly a blessing 💗🫶🏼

[@hiwaga7399]

10:51 just a little reminder for me. you are an inspiration. i've been meaning to launch my business for months now, and you talking about working within your means to achieve your goals for the future was a well needed reminder to me.

[@civilizeddiva]

7:27: After hearing you rave about Matcha, I switched up my usual Peet’s coffee order (iced almond milk latte) to an iced Almond milk Matcha latte. No sweetener, and honestly, I’m totally hooked! 🥳

[@Journeycandles]

Same. Also started drinking matcha. Haha

[@moonchipsco]

Hi!! That’s me🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ You absolutely said my name right thank you!!!! I’m so happy the bookmarks got to you safely!! I always stress during holiday mail 😅 And I’m sooooo happy you enjoyed them I’m so picky about the thickness as well so I’m happy you noticed that lol. I hope now that your break is closer you get some well deserved rest and find many good books to read & time to enjoy outside of work!! Stay healthy & happy new year! - Mariela 🫂🩵

[@charrissaarianna]

I’m so happy when you post. Great way to spend my lunch break!!!🥰

[@24appleberries]

the pick me up I didn’t know I needed. yay for monica’s vlogs

[@beingemma]

So exciting! Today I have a round 3 interview but also rebranding, being consistent and finding a style on KZbin and getting so excited about my brand for 2025. Your videos remind me to keep going. 💖 Also happy to hear about your good relationship with your UPS.

[@shaiday]

I love that you changed the angle of your camra are doing more close up candle pouring, its so satisfying to watch you hand pour the candle 😍😍❤️ and you are truly an inspiration, i love everything that you do 💖💖

[@pratibhamootoo6402]

Use all your happy mails to create a fun journal even the packaging as a tuck spot

[@RP-bq4wu]

Stoooop! You and your sister are the same person! Both so pretty 😉🥰

[@ChantelleArts]

Wow you’re doing so well and you’re really managing stock perfectly too 🥰

[@elisa5441]

Love your channel. Love watching you and your small business grow. Watching from The Netherlands.

[@maximescheepers2169]

Sending good vibes from South Africa. 🦋🌴🤗Love your vlogs.

[@monicarazak]

thanks so much for watching!!

[@onyaenaturals]

You truly inspire me to make my own vlog - although it'll be rookie status, you def give hope to those of us trying to challenge ourselves. Always appreciate this inspiration - keep shining

[@rachelafrederick]

Wanted you to know as a fellow hand made slow fashion SB owner….. sometimes just “working” with you…. Makes my day go faster and hand beading a wedding gown a bit easier task… so don’t fret about “filling your video”…..those who are here for YOU will be here for any degree of what you gift us and share about your life! Keep it up! ❤

[@everydayskinco]

How do you coordinate lunch breaks for the sales associates?

[@faithandaplan]

I clicked as soon as i got the notification. so excited to see her vids

[@KnitsByNayla]

Whoa I thought I was seeing double for a second! 😂 It’s awesome that your sister is able to support you. I’m so glad I was able to make it to your booth before it closed. It was even better in person. Still waiting for the cranberry Prosecco to come back in stock! I knew before I even smelled it that it would be my favorite! 🤩

[@atiyasperfecttreas]

I was soo sad i came to see you on my Birthday Jan 3rd and you weren't there. I did purchase the cranberry prosecco and praline candle it smells divine.

[@hayleyscheir7468]

I am so glad I got to come visit your booth on the last day!! Love your videos :)

[@disneygirljamie9974]

Please help me understand....why does the candle need the heat gun after it's cooled? I'm so curious about the whole candle making process!

[@samaria627]

It just makes the top a little more even in case it caved in a little or has any small bubbles

[@chrissyb7916]

I can't wait for your on line store to open again. I didn't make it back to Bryant Park to pick up another Jupiter Musk candle. I loved my trip to Hilton Head SC. An hour away is Savannah, GA.

[@jasmineloves2144]

Your videos are so inspiring. I literally check my KZbin everyday wondering if you uploaded anything 😅. More blessings for you in the new year

[@caylaelon]

This may be my need to have “uniformity”, but as you grow your team i feel like it would be so cute that they all have a branded item. Like the beanie you made. Whenever they are at a popup they can wear a hat or shirt or whatever.

[@jessicalundin3293]

Monica, I have been LOVING all of the content and long videos lately. You are such an inspiration! 💕 Quick question, I know you’ve mentioned in the past that you edit all of your videos. What platform and tools are your favorite to use? You do such an incredible job!

[@heather_marie524]

I absolutely love your pep talks…you inspire me! You are so right - do what you can with what you got, or you’ll never see any results. I sent you some things in the mail today (to the address in your description box). I hope you love them! 💕💕

[@SydneyShearin]

Your videos inspired me to start weekly crafting nights with my family🫶

[@civilizeddiva]

3:53: Wow, you two are really bundled up! It must be freezing out there. To give us a better idea of what you're experiencing, how about sharing the temperature on screen? We've been dealing with lows around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and I've certainly been vocal about that! I have a feeling you might be facing even colder weather than we are. 😅

[@26jclay]

Your purple mug is so adorable! I had to go on Mercari to find one because it was sold out. You are right, it is just the best! 💜✨

[@panyiacrochets3800]

Love your videos! Always so inspiring and motivating!

[@fritziaustin8919]

Come on down,...and you will have FABULOUS time in Charleston SC!! You will love us here in the Lowcountry!

[@ivonbhonsley9421]

Omg I love your videos. I was very closed to visit you at your booth but it was new years and the 42 street area was full of people and my husband was like it is ok next time she does another pop up we will come visit 😢

[@cortneyscraftcorner]

I just saw on the news there was a fire around bryant park. I hope your items and employees were safe.

[@TinaHdz-n4u]

This is great. You did do many things! Said so many things. You are fine. And the video is long. I love your videos.

[@marcusice5400]

yay another vlog

[@monicarazak]

yaayyy!!!

[@marcusice5400]

@@monicarazak are you a matcha tea person?

[@LovelessYayaoi]

I need that Moomin bookmark omg 😭

[@Snugglesandfuncrafts20]

I love your videos. You encouraged me to do markets. I own a crochet small business.

[@pratibhamootoo6402]

I have back aches since my last craft market. U should get a higher table just a suggestion but love your videos thanks for taking time to them I look forward to seeing them

[@Soapjunkii]

monica! pin the link to that gingerbread house cup. We want on too! thanks

[@rainykanon]

I have been waiting for a new video yaaaay

[@sabreenahrochelle3989]

Hey Monica, would you be willing to make a video about your experience selling on Etsy?

[@CorazonDesignsandpeople]

Your are so relaxing ❤❤❤

[@fearlessstitchesbydiana123]

Are you sure your sister is not your twin??

[@monicarazak]

hahahaha😅

[@christinaburns6196]

A great video. Thank you x

[@spottedbearknits3824]

Really wish I could stand the taste of matcha!

[@michelledimalanta7078]

Hiii Monica!!! Will you be restocking for online orders soon?!? ❤#fanofmonicascollective

[@fa8423]

I can see the family resemblance.

[@oddlyozel]

Are you looking forward to having less intense days once the event is over?

[@monicarazak]

OMG YES

[@jenniferlewis9864]

💜💙

[@JacquelineA-x4y]

That ladies looks like your twin!😳

[@12spacegeek]

Please google Uline's thoughts on your rights as a woman in this country and consider another supplier!

[@amvive08]

Hi I don't want to be on0e of those people but I'm going to be one of those people for a moment. Not sure of your political views but Uline as a company gives to far right wing organizations. They have historically funded bills against women's rights, minorities. Etc. just wanted to put this out there in case you were planning on looking for a new supplier.

[@elizabethurbina4457]
