Q&A: What my HUSBAND & I do for a living? Age? TEENAGE BRIDE! Ethnicity, Money $$ | Mel in Melbourne

[@MelinMelbourne]

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

[@stephaniem8760]

Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with us ❤ it is truly lovely getting to know you better 😘 I want to recommend strathberry handbags to you. I have two and they are lovely quality and very durable (I use them as my everyday handbags) 👜🛍 lots of love xxxx

[@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

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.

[@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!

[@RainieTian]

Seeing you put in so much time pining all the questions up, make me wanna appreciate so much. Mel, even though I dont commment much, but you are definetly so inspiring, beautiful, cheerful to watch.Your honesty and genuiness are gold to all of your followers. Thank you for doing the video!

[@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

[@shirleystellar]

Love that "foundation of God" for a successful marriage. You are always dropping powerful gems!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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. ❤️

[@MelinMelbourne]

SueMae Everyday thank you so very much my dear XX

[@elliesulmot6968]

Me too, thought im not able to finish it.

[@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.

[@alicetrieu7733]

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

[@angyeliz]

The picture of you on your wedding is so beautiful. Not just facially (duh) but the happiness.

[@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.

[@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!

[@ayastaley]

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 ❤️💕❤️

[@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!

[@honeydemayo374]

[@MelinMelbourne]

[@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 :)

[@nicoleyamin2516]

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. We love you xxx

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you for your heartfelt response. I truly appreciate it and I'm so ever thankful for our little community! Sending much love right back. xo

Watching your video while studying my lectures! I'm a second year university Chemistry student from the Philippines, also eldest girl of six kids and I can relate to your fam story! Watching your videos help me blow off steam from my heavy academics, and also serve as my inspiration to work harder because I wanna help a lot of people and do a lot of shopping and travel when I'm older :) Cheers Mel, keep safe 💕

[@quocanhly7972]

It's NOT boring at all! It's the BEST video of you! Your life journey is so inspirational. My favorite part is when you talk about your marriage and your most difficult time, and also when you said you're a Believer. I like it that you said "Enjoy the journey" in the end of the video. Yes I was really enjoyed watching every second of this video. Thank you for sharing. Bless you

[@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!

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.

Waw Mel this was amazing you literally laid out everything, you’re a wonderful human being and may God bless you and your family 💖

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

Way to go Mel! You’re such an inspiration to us all... With lots of love from 🇲🇾

Hi Mel, Thank you so much for your videos! I am only on you tube at night to wind down from my nursing job and only watch you and one other person (shhh, you are my favorite)! I enjoy your honesty,, pleasantry, and joy, and it warms my heart after a long day and admire all your pretty treasures. I also love your Hawaii videos. My husband and I were married in Maui 13 years ago and it brings back so many beautiful memories!! I do own natural diamond studs in the 0.25 and 0.50, but do not have them in the 1.00 carat and am excited to try Idyl. I love my 1/2 carat the best so far and I am sure the 1 carat will be my favorite size, bigger the better!! Thank you for creating these wonderful videos and sharing your amazing life with your hubby and children ❤ Happy New Year & I wish you and your family, including your fur babies, all the health and happiness life has to offer for many years to come!! Love, April from Florida

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. 💖

Loved this episode! Would like an episode dealing with your bags, SLGs and how you plan your bag and clothing shopping. What comes first, the clothing or the bags?

[@maritesmarcos5450]

New to this channel and I loved watching you. You are very inspiring. You sound like a very grounded person. I love the history of your family, how you manage and discuss budgets with your husband, charity, children and the joy of luxury. I see so much goodness in your heart and all your passion shows in the sparkle of your eyes. You just made my day.
