hello angels! I'm back with another Paris vlog and episode in the living alone diaries. going places, making art and working on some new art shows, going to cafés, seeing live jazz, galleries and fashion week events. I have been really trying to find balance between work and social life this year, tender and wholesome moments with friends and evolving my career. I feel really grateful to do what I love full time as an artist and although its a lot of work, I want to share more of it with you. As always, thanks for hanging out with me and for being my friend. I loved you! For more bilingual videos, art studio vlogs and life in Paris videos you can subscribe for vlogs every Tuesday xx

re: your comment on how half of your subscribers are here for art and half are here for paris content, just wanted to share that I watch your videos because your energy is so special and unique and I feel so uplifted and beautiful after watching your videos!!

[@crystaljefferphetamine]

yeah I love her outlook on life, how open she is and how she continues to deal with things with love, sensitivity and kindness. it's a really beautiful and special thing and i think the world would improve significantly if we had more people like shayna around.

[@kittysnowshoe6475]

Agreed- such a unique and beautiful energy

[@iCharlyprime]

The glittery hair, the sun, the bells, two girls jamming on a terrace in freaking PARIS! Girl you're living the literal dream I LOVE you!! Don't mind me basically putting this whole video on my manifestation board hahaha PS: Im not here just bc of the Paris' side of things, I just genuinely appreciate you as a person (I mean, you're an icon, no use in denying facts ) and really enjoy seeing you thrive and grow 🧡✨

[@thepurplepalace85]

awww ily girl!!

[@ivypanduh]

"the art studio isn't a factory,...it's a laboratory" a friendly reminder. ♡ Also I love the intro song. It was really comforting .

[@thepurplepalace85]

yay!!!

[@dyoung1266]

The song was Harvest Moon by Neil Young

[@callmeacab]

One of the things I love about your channel is that you are your whole self. You don't feel the need to have a different channel for "Life in Paris" and a different channel for "being an artist" and a different channel for "music" or "poetry". You are a fully dimensional person...we all are. But for some reason it has been pounded into us to do one thing or only show one aspect at a time. I am here for you...the whole you. So keep doing what you're doing. I'm here for it.

[@epf7353]

100% of the people are here because of you and your interesting and inspiring insights

[@thepurplepalace85]

love uuu

SO ready for your ARTE special! that is so exciting i love them

[@thepurplepalace85]

Me too!!

[@muhlaynee]

That’s a big deal. Congrats!

[@luvbug461]

watching you was one of the first times I really realized that you can make a living as an artist, not just doing art on the side, not just as an illustrator or graphic artist (def real art but not the kind I'm any good at), but as a poet or a painter. thank you for showing the processes and how you make it all work!

[@thatayyylien2974]

I've had a really rough week and this video really put me at ease, you're so calming, and you have something about you that is just otherwordly. Your soul soothes me, and I feel better. Thank you!! I always catch your videos but this time I built the courage to comment. Again, thank you so much for all of this

[@thepurplepalace85]

ily! hope you have a beautiful week

[@hana707chan]

"the art studio isn't a factory, its a laboratory" as an artist struggling to get past my art block and get that sense of freedom and fun into my art again, this line really resonated with me. there is so much solitude that is necessary to "get work done" but it can be dangerous when u don't produce and then you get into a negative cycle. i always find i create my best work when i approach my art with no expectations, a sense of freedom and idk how to describe this, a lightness in my heart. i feel my chest tighten up when i think too hard about getting things done but then when i just think about having fun, it feels like i'm taking a breath of fresh air. thanks for ur insights, its really been helping me and so many others :)

[@monique9941]

I feel exactly the same as you

I always love it when you post! It always seems to be when I'm very drained, overworked, and tired - and it reminds me to energize, and get inspired with simply living and curating. Thanks so much Shayna :)))

[@gabrielleszafir]

❤‍🔥At the very beginning of the video when you say "just two girls jamming on the terrace in Paris" - you had this look on your face that was like a younger version of you that is so damn proud of where you are today. Girl, yes. Love to you!

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Watching your vlogs make me wanna do more fun things and vlog it. I just moved back home after my father passed away & thinking of the colors i'm gonna paint the place before i put it on AirBnB in June (charcoal, navy blue, birch bark, mango, orange, and a piece of black chalk paint for a calendar on the wall LOL). Having tons of ideas. 🌟

[@nicocutler]

Wowwee! I had coffee and hand pies for breakfast, journaled, and now a new Purple Palace video. A magical morning :)

[@thepurplepalace85]

Good morning!

[@currentlyearth8867]

Tell me about it. Shana makes Tuesday mornings awesome. I’m honestly a little saddened on that third Tuesday when she takes the day off. It’s ok though, we all deserve a million days off…

[@ana2369]

And here i am at 1pm refusing to leave my bed to do anything 😂 honestly girl thanks for the motivation, i needed this to get up and at least make a coffee ❤️😂

the feeling i get from your videos is beautiful.. so hard to describe it exactly.. still just so beautiful. no matter what the content is about it feels so raw and genuine. thank you for your channel.. you have inspired me and others in so many ways!!

[@lekshmi_ind]

You are wonderful and unique, Shayna. I'm here for you!

[@judyananda]

hahaha the 'no, bitch!' at 4:49 is so funny, you're so funny and radiant and creative and your videos always make me feel so good about things and remind me that being authentic is honorable. this is our purest form. love you!

[@SamFournier]

I originally found you when I was looking for fellow Americans living in France but now I tune in weekly for you, whenever I come to this little space on the internet it makes me feel safe, connected and like I’m catching up with a friend. I’m really excited for the journals, I can’t wait to get my hands on one of them❤️

[@lynzara]

The coffee and croissant moment, the make up, and the cowboy hat piece...I enjoy your lightheartedness, your freedom and your joy, Shayna, whatever the content of the vlog, these elements shine through!

[@thepurplepalace85]

:) thank you!

[@essentiallyann2650]

Dude, I am 53, a doctor and living as an expat in the Netherlands: I am here for the Paris, the art and the life content. You do you 🥂🎉!!! But le us know in time when your exhibition is, so we can book time off!!

[@averybonnette5132]

Shayna you are absolutely glowing in this video! I love the sixties esque makeup! Also the beginning makes me so excited for you to release your music ❤️

[@ialdabeoth]

there is something very substantial to be said for the magic of living a life surrounded by divine things and people, not living a perfect life but being able to go through your human shit in a world that is so beautiful is such a blessing and something that i am only just starting to create for myself, but something that your videos always seem to exude so aspirationally

[@BATgirl57]

I don’t how I missed this video a month ago?? But it sure hits my heart today!! Especially relate to your quest to have more joy in doing things for FUN rather than to get good at ithem!! Sooo important! And most often, the doing with JOY yields surprising results when we least expect it! Also- echoing the love comments above- I watch for your inspiring ART life, for your dream PARIS life and because you’re YOU- our SHAYNA...so real, adorable and making the world a happier place thru your sharing! 💖Thank you and keep spreading those good vibes!😘🙏

[@annemarie9980]

As a "creative" myself i can attest to the need to embrace whatever direction your creative force takes you. Go for it Girlfriend !!!💖🌟💝⭐

[@loopa7563]

ive never been interested in paris, i do like art, but i watch this channel cuz i feel a kinship connection with you in the way you process your life and how you make the most of it.

[@oopsgirl44]

The vibes of this video Shayna, they were something else. I felt like I was WITH you. This felt like meditating

[@judithfarr]

Paris sparkles ✨ for me when you are being creative in it. The singing the makeup the thoughts the painting the joy!

[@sezannesjournal]

Watching your videos and hearing about how you chose to follow your dreams later in life (rather than going to uni straight out of highschool) really inspired me to go back to art school to finish my art degree and follow my dreams! I’m here for your energy, positivity and generosity with sharing your experiences and thoughts about art, life and loving yourself and nurturing your passions. Love seeing you just vibing and thriving and living your best life. You’re a ray of light!

[@susieenglish302]

This is why I love Paris. The city almost gives you encouragement to be yourself

I haven't been early to a video in a long while, and I just wanted to say I'm so happy to see you go on solo adventures, it's always so fun to see what you've been up to and I'm very excited to hear your music, whenever you release it!

[@rachaelclinton7781]

Hi Shayna, it’s so funny how so many of us caught the comment on whether we’re here for Paris or art stuff. I think I found your channel in early 2020. Obviously, your work is amazing and I love the Paris content because it reminds me of what feels like my second home. But what I’ve loved the most is how you’ve been fearless to change it up and to share super vulnerably. In the beginning I was watching to learn more french, then you were going through a break up and your sharing helped me get through mine around the same time, and now we get to continue to watch you find yourself and explore all the things that really interest you. And you do it so unapologetically. It’s such a beautiful thing to see someone do that. Thank you for exploring and making more of what you love. Keep doing that, whatever it is

[@clara2901]

omg the makeup look with the white glittery eyelashes is soooo pretty!!

[@mirandafolk5094]

Shayna you’re a light! You inspire me to always be true to myself and to do what make me happy! Your conversations with us are always welcome. I’m here for the art, Paris content, but mostly cause you such a wonderful person! Hearing your week makes me, and the rest of us, feel like we’re sitting with you and hanging out! Don’t stop being open cause we love being listeners! We do it pretty well lol! Thanks again you beautiful soul! 😊 ~ Miranda

Loved the glitter hair and the dress with the climbing roses. The duet was cool too. I also liked the black satin top that you hand painted.

This is your best video of the ones I've seen. Great editing and lots of interesting footage moving along from one captivating scene to another. You're a real original, the embodiment of a creative spirit. You are wonderfully articulate. And funny. And cute. And gorgeous. And talented. You're able to project a lot of different sides to your character, which keeps it interesting. Your singing voice is really lovely and I loved the opening duet. I liked the halo of your cowboy hat in the end chat. You're real and relatable in spite of your uniqueness. You said you didn't really consider the vlog was art but I disagree. Vlogs can be just visual journals but your vlog really seems like art to me. You have a lot going on and it's fun watching.

Mostly little moments of joy on video, your deep thoughts, growing up in challenging personal life and doing creativity in art. Your studio in a convent what a beautiful environment and people there. I will order soon a piece of your art that I love most. Paris is a good place. Hopefully I will travel there another time. It's for me very familiar with my hometown Berlin but also diferent and lovely. Good luck to your new proyects🍀.
