P.S. can you believe?? that we have made it to 30 vlogs??? unreal!!!
P.S.S. I'm starting to think..it's probably not the mic's fault that my audio is messed up. it's me who just mumbles instead of speaking clearly LOL

[@CandiWare]

Mel I love how your tea stickers turned out! Your vlogs are always so much fun to watch. I live in Canada so tims is very normal here, its fun to see you trying it maybe for the first time :) Ordering from new places for sure takes a while to get used to. I have watched so many of your vlogs but the first time I'm commuting :) So wonderful to help others with your rice yummy sticker!

[@ciscoponch67]

Happy Lunar New Year!!!!

[@madebymalin]

idk what you’re saying i LOVE your oil pastel doodles!! I’m always in awe at how well you combine bright colors *o*

[@smoleart]

you're too kind to me malin LOL :-') 💜

[@sweetmar.y]

I think you're my favorite KZbinr right now, I really like your personality you make me feel less anxious like I usually am, so can't wait to see you again! ❤️ Stay safe!

[@smoleart]

Maria Aragão aww thank you maria, stay safe as well! 💜

[@KivBui]

I love the color you chose for your illustration. It’s so Mel. It came out really nice on paper too. So adorable!

[@mymagicaljourney180]

[@stuck_in_an_acorn]

YAYAYAY THÉ TIME HAS COME! THE BEST TIMR OF THE WEEK- 💕💕💕✨✨✨

[@n0th1ngmuch]

I loved the background music that played while you did your errands!

[@smoleart]

aw thank you!! I never know when to play background music now bc I feel like my voice will drown out LOL

[@michellem4118]

I always found oil pastels impossible, but I loved a mix of colored pencil and chalk pastels. They get dusty, but there is more control without the stick gloominess I feel when I tried pastels... It has been forever since I drew for fun on the regular. I am excited I have an iPad and ipen coming to work with procreate. So much excitement.

[@probablycrocheting]

happy lunar new year!! love your stamps to match the holiday - I’m always looking for beautiful ones like these

[@josefasoto9841]

I finished college two weeks ago, and watching you study makes me miss it, even tho I used to hate it 😂

[@smoleart]

[@helenalewis9870]

[@GroundedAesthetic]

That pasta looked really good! And hope your staying safe at school 💕

[@purplepinedesigns]

[@mapleLIFE]

I can't believe how small your place is. I used to rent a room & share space for a few years. Now I moved to my own apartment. I can't go back to sharing no more.

[@mqthin_3245]

[@kevinsmith5360]

Hiiiii I can't remember which video it was where you made osmanthus tea, but I wanted to try it and in the vid it looked like you had a little jar of like jelly type tea or something? I'm trying to find osmanthus tea and can only find it in loose leaf form, did you have it in a jelly form? Where did you get it? Thanks for sharing your art & life btw!

[@smoleart]

hi! it was a osmanthus honey syrup that I bought at h-mart, but the next time I went to go buy more it was gone :-(

[@kevinsmith5360]

@@smoleart Ohhhh!! Thanks so much for letting me know, I'll look for that! :)

[@alyssakalodimos7149]

I won't ask, because I don't want to creep on you, but I'm 99% sure you moved to around where I live. The architecture is what sold me... and Timmy Ho's :D

[@smoleart]

LOL thank you for protecting me :-'))

[@user-qp9hv4nd8c]

what paper do you use to print out your prints :p

[@asakaze101]

Hi Mel^^

[@nuggetstump]

My gooseneck phone holder always wobbles as I’m working on my desk 😫😫😫

[@mapleLIFE]

LOL. You eat directly from the cooking pan.

[@MoMo_MoniChan]

[@cossetpineda464]

Hello! do you use RGB colors?

[@smoleart]

I think I do! :-0 I feel like I've tried both RGB and CMYK but never noticed a difference LOL

[@cossetpineda464]

CMYK are more opaque, they dońt have much brightness, thank you for answering me

[@un1puff]

[@zyydesu6682]

かわいい～～

[@shassampaga9699]

[@airab1606]

What’s you major? Or Does anyone know what her major is?

[@maryellis954]

wait are you in medschool? I'm currently an ms2 and your vlogs are so nice to study to. also saw another comment about learning the brachial plexus and i just wanted to say this sporcle quiz saved me --> i just played it endlessly till i had learnt it www.sporcle.com/games/Alcas/aagh-this-is-inside-my-arm good luck dude!

[@전밤-f5h]

Why is it that in western countries you guys say lunar new year when in southeast asia it is called chinese new year? 🤔

[@smoleart]

ooh I just call it lunar ny when speaking towards a broader audience! for me, I usually call it chinese new years since I'm chinese, but for other asian ethnicities (like vietnamese), they'll call it vietnamese new years/tết :-)
