You are the queen of aesthetics, whatever it might be. Please don't stop filling up our eyeballs with beautiful things. Your videos are so pleasing and soothing to watch!

[@redbeanbuns1196]

I’m so glad you put “mostly Caucasian” I feel like no one ever touches on that! Loved this video so much! 🩰🧴 happy new year!

[@FernandaBaez-pp7ir]

love your content! You guys are the only content creators I watch on youtube. Such calming and aesthetically pleasing videos. I hope you continue to make videos for atleast a few more years.

[@emmcatz]

love that you matched your vanilla people outfits 😆those miffy marshmallows were so cute!! happy lunar new year!

[@hangingwithjen]

I just came across your vlog and it is STUNNING!

[@jenessaeliseramos4128]

My fave comfort channel to watch 😍

[@glowchels]

goals! love this vlog so much

[@nasamanithorne2600]

Unlike the figurative meaning of a Vanilla Girl, you are extraordinary and extra special, loved this video, happy lunar year to you both, love from London ❤

[@somethingscarlett]

I was just vlogging at causeway bay yesterday! but becuz I study abroad in the states, I always miss the Lunar New Year celebrations.... so glad to see it featured in your vlog!

[@starlitsky4156]

This was so soothing

[@bluepearlagain]

As toxic as the vanilla girl trend was/is I loved this episode (thanks for calling out the demographic it points out to be the perfect type of girl) and I hope you will try another Pinterest mood board!

[@SamandVictor]

Haha yeah I felt not represented in all those Pinterest vanilla girl photos :S

[@fernandavidal7378]

Wonderful theme 😊

[@sp9931]

thanks for updating us what;s vanilla girl haha(for aunties who know nth about tiktok) and your wonderful editing skills for making videos.. love them!

[@gracefullife1641]

The white rabbit candy milk idea is totally cute 🥰

[@vicklet6253]

Sometimes I think shopkeepers in luxury stores must take a class how to wrap merchandise with perfection. I just discovered the Byredo perfume line. My jaw dropped at the price so I bought the rollerball. My favorite scent is Mojave Ghost and Bal D’Afrique. Unlike Jo Malone Byredo really last throughout the day. I never heard of the term Vanilla Girl before. Many people in the comment section seem to dislike it.

[@rosittatt2911]

Look forward to your next vlog already 😊

[@SamandVictor]

aw thank you! we just posted

[@tracysdailys]

The aesthetic is just tooooo good to be true😭😭🤍🤍🤍 Ur reli motivating me to do one too! (in a much lower-budget manner ahahahah!!!!

[@elyse3884]

I don’t mind this look -In my opinion - Lol 😂 . I think it sets a nice base in which you can add color through art and accessories as you wish - either seasonally or monthly depending on your mood etc. Beiges, Taupes and Winter white - more in the cream family- represented “Wealthy” couture -at least in the NY area. I, personally, look best in blacks and taupes, however I do admire this clean style. I think you can pull this off best in the Spring and Summer months or in warmer climates like in LA or Greece. It’s very refreshing. I had no idea it was a trend - I guess I am out of the “Global” loop Lol! I just love you both! Keep bringing it on! 🥰🌟. Sending Warm wishes for a Happy Lunar New Year! ❤

[@yvonett6411]

I love the aethetics of your home. Will be visiting HK (finally) at the end of February. Is it already summer there by that time? Hoping we could still feel the breeze of cold air when we visit

[@NoOne-sb2qd]

A day of a vanilla girl cannot be complete without a visit to One Day Coffee in Tai Hang! The new cafe simply screams “vanilla” in its all-white ambience. That’s where I got myself into that vanilla girl mood ☺️!

[@nkem6750]

i like how the vanilla girl is just a rebrand of the clean girl

[@Lunarviews]

Vanilla girl is maybe clean girl just a few years older? Same trend but growing up 🤷🏼‍♀️🥰

[@TheVivleu]

Love all your videos and your home interior design is just so comfy and stylish. We have the same Kruska sofa. May I ask which area you live on? Kowloon or HK side? It looks so peaceful ❤

[@KelcyPassportbyDesign]

I feel like the Vanilla Girl aesthetic is what the Clean Girl aesthetic would have been if it existed in the 90s. Maybe because of the claw clip. IDK.

[@chantelofeast]

These trends (rolling my 1980s eyeballs) are so funny to me. I think it's harmless but I like how you added in that note. Also, I swear the all-vanilla-everything trend came from Japan about 5-ish years ago. Been really enjoying your content, best wishes from UK.

[@velyvely6479]

i think these aesthetics are one of the worst things to come out of the internet lol everyone from teens to late 30's looking and acting like clones - i wish it stop hahah

[@SamandVictor]

Yeah when it comes to ‘vanilla girl’ home decor I feel like it was the japandi trend we were seeing during the pandemic!

[@melon_ayo]

Love a good mild satirization of unintentionally oppressive/judgmental trends. Not only is it very white dominated but also super heteronormative. This was fun to watch! 💛

[@TiffanyLai]

Brb recreating this vlog when I get back to Canada 😂

[@vickycheung35]

❤❤

[@audreyyeung3628]

May I ask where your jewelry dish is from!

[@takwoo]

11:05 could you tell me where you got this plate? It’s so lovely!!!!

[@lolaterga559]

I’m enjoying your videos so much! What is are “Tao Bao” shops?

[@SamandVictor]

It’s like alibaba! Or I usually call it a cross between Etsy and Amazon (a lot of products can be customized)

[@Zoe-bx2xh]

where is the blanket from?

[@meganlui4172]

Is there tiktok in HK or how do you watch videos on the app?

[@amarjeetkaur4819]

Let there be love and White Rabbit candy .... happy LNY

[@Karyoot]

Wanna try a different trend every so often? Would love to learn more about what influences HK fashion, streetwear, etc

[@SamandVictor]

Will look into it!

[@Beabibiche07]

I miss france so much! Happy LNY!

This is a random question but what model is your vlog camera?😂

[@SamandVictor]

I linked it in the description box!

[@ionniechoy]

I’m in hk too and want to develop those films~ did they give u an electronic copy of the films on the same day?

[@SamandVictor]

Yes! They sent me a WhatsApp message with a google drive link! Very easy

[@mpang]

Y’all gotta cred the intro song! Can’t be using with no credits like that guys 😮

[@SamandVictor]

Um did you bother scrolling down the video to see all the music links?

[@madaarax]

I love your vlogs and everything but why buy the 14 pro If you already have the 13 pro like it’s useless and overconsumption :/

[@SamandVictor]

I use my phone a lot to shoot my daily vlogs- the 13 will go to victor

[@velyvely6479]

i personally find all these aesthetic trends really cringe, it blows my mind that people who are of teenage years, 20's and 30's are all trying to follow and achieve the same looks and aesthetics, i feel these types of things are killing originality and the room to allow people to grow and discover what they really like. I also hate it because its really killed furniture and interiors, you cannot buy a classic piece without it seeming like some Instagram aesthetic piece (cries)

[@SamandVictor]

Get your classic pieces without the guilt! I personally think my house is too unintentionally vanilla. It just so happened I saw this trend on Pinterest and realized I already own so many of those cliche vanilla girl products (my knit throw is pretty ragged) and decided to make a video about it before is start adding more color to the home XD

[@velyvely6479]

@@SamandVictor lol thats the thing! so many piece you love and have /want already end up being a trend! i'll try and keep that in mind and collect pieces without guilt / worrying im jumping on a trend

[@victoriajoy7016]

I feel like these trends help people explore ideas/feelings they might like, which IS a way to explore their own individuality. :)

[@velyvely6479]

@@victoriajoy7016 i'm not sure individuality exists anymore ...

[@ashaa1540]

why do you care its their life

[@leelaartwork]

8 ad breaks for 1 vid….😢

[@xalbatross1]

I guess I unintentionally became a vanilla girl when I got a dog and he sheds everywhere. RIP black outfits

[@joicethatsme]

I don’t think there should be a race on the vanilla girl trend 😑

[@thracorr9687]

this shit must be stopped
