[@thepurplepalace85]

timestamps for the questions are in description! :) :) :) love u mucho

[@elizabethayres1062]

You look so happy and your hair color is my fav yet, and love the pink eyeliner 💖👠💃

[@Ted89988]

Love your work!

[@elliejoy4424]

Omg when you said ‘the time period in which I moved here was like 19/20’ I thought you said 1920 and was like ‘Shayna is a magical time lord, confirmed’ 😂✨

[@thepurplepalace85]

hahahaha omg

[@lalagirlone]

Same! Haha. 😅

[@EmilyDoolittle2]

A past life was speaking through you to us

[@Blueberrycaprice]

Lol me too! I came looking for this comment to make sure I wasn’t the only one haha

[@TwoOnlyChildrenxoxox]

Same! I had to rewind.

[@8pointstudio709]

Shayna as soon as you said to be friends with people you compare yourself to I dmed this girl I am super inspired by and now we’re getting coffee! So thanks for the motivation xx

[@thepurplepalace85]

That is awesome! im so proud of you

[@lunevix]

i can’t believe that i’m writing this from my apartment at Paris. I remember my young self watching your videos from my room in Mexico and just thinking “wow, that me in a few years” and i finally made it. Now i’m literally living my dream life and more, i live in the place that i dreamed at 15, i followed my passion and started to embrace my creativity and be PROUD of my art and i feel so happy and loved. this has not happened YET, i’m manifesting it, cause i know it my fking destiny and i know i’m gonna make it. i love ur videos so much, u are such a magical soul and u really motivate me so so so much and many ways It kinda weird sometimes because i feel like am seeing myself from the future lol. i feel like we share a lot of goals: i want to study arts, i’ve always wanted to make a yt channel, i want to write a poetry book inspired by Rupi and now also you! I feel like it not coincidence that i found ur videos and that life is trying to tell me through u that i literally can do ANYTHING that i dream.

[@Wandererofrealmz]

I believe you, and I know you’ll go far. All the best 💕

[@m0t0madre]

You got it!!!!!💪💪💪💪💪

[@Katherout]

the early 2000s vibes at the beginning... incredible. also the tampon story SENTTTT me i wish i had as good of an answer for my most embarrassing moment.

[@SamFournier]

I was having a really hard day today, everything was getting to me and then you uploaded this video and turned my whole mood around. Thank you Shayna for being such a bright light in this world. The tampon story had me cracking up. I needed a good laugh, thank you.

[@thepurplepalace85]

[@duefeht]

[@101beechbum]

Autumn is my most Favorite time of year. The rain makes it feel that much more magical.

[@kelseyc203]

You talk about Paris the way Carrie Bradshaw talked about NYC in Sex and the City, and, honestly, that's beautiful. And that lost tampon story had me holleriiiiiiiing. 😂

[@zsemma6599]

Shayna, I just wanted to say you're such a light in my days and thank you so much for existing and putting yourself out so we can hang out together from time to time. You're like a friend to me and I feel so grateful and free every time you upload a video. Please do not take it as a pressure to make videos constantly, I just wanted to thank you and couldn't find better words. Wish you light and blessings❣️❣️❣️

[@OrleeStewart]

i'm a new orleans based surrealist painter & I moved here from toronto ^ - ^ i've been working as an artist since i was 18 and am 31 now. for income, aside from painting commissions and my youtube, i work as a witch and tarot reader :) my sun sign is capricorn and my moon is aquarius xx keep having fun & thank you for creating.

[@frenchbelacan9082]

I'm not an artist but everything you said was relevant nevertheless! Collaboration over competition. Love it.

[@thepurplepalace85]

thanks so much

[@johanna_vargas]

I just have to say it - that makeup is just ✨divine✨

[@user-ru8ue6vv2h]

i really love your hair, i feel like it really suits you and gives you THAT aura 🤍

[@meghanmathews5603]

This is so encouraging as someone who just started art school to know what to expect coming out of it! Thank you for the advice on different streams of revenue and diversifying 🥰

[@Robert-cy3qx]

thank you for always being there for me. I love you, beautiful soul

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

Thank you so damn much for that whole tampon story! I laughed so hard and you’re just so adorable!! Thank you for you!!!!

[@kincsosandor8982]

I'm soo sooo happy for you and all the growth you've been through! You literally glow and shine like a sun! You're so inspiring 💖

[@e.machocolat775]

hi, so much fun getting to know more about you.also you and you answered what i had been curious about and that was how you learned french. You speak so well and i'm again so impressed with you. So many people have learned some French in high school so they have some intro but you had none. I am in Paris this is my 2nd year and I have struggled learning french. my husband is French and we have always spoken english together since we met in nyc. anyway i am now obsessed with learning and you say what he says and anyone I ask for advice and that is to just speak, and make the mistakes. my husband speaks to me in french and is making an effort to really push me more. since i speak spanish i thought I would just pick it up but a not so much. thanks again your quite an amazing person!

[@justlottie]

Shayna, thanks for being this IMMENSELY inspiring and safe soft place!!! I've been deep down in the dumps because of some circumstances atm, but your long slow living videos help me turn inward and process the feelings and desires that I have been putting aside. The energy and atmosphere that you possess is something I am aspiring to be ❤️🌈🤍 I wish you the very best and hope you're living your best life!!!

[@sallieannwestbrook9769]

I love your plan for the on-line scenes. Fun!!

[@Shattered0Tears]

Can’t wait for the second half! Your embarrassing story has happened to me before (sober even). Love you girl ❤️🎨

[@eternalpartnership243]

Congratulation on everything you have accomplished over these last 8 years. Your story is truly inspiring and I have already begun to make changes in my life influenced by you. Stay artistic my friend. Crazy stories you have, but such a positive outlook. ;-) looking forward to the 2nd part.

[@Yas-hg1wi]

I love your look in this video ! Makeup, hair, shirt.. everything !

[@lu.n000]

I love the theatre idea! I don't have an Instagram account but might create one just for that project 💛

[@thepurplepalace85]

aw yay!

[@laramaldana82]

I’m loving your new hair color!! It brings out the sunshine in you ☺️ you look beautiful and FRESH. Thank you always for your videos! Its my little escape from Miami watching you in Paris.

[@julieghoulie1]

Shayna, once I was bending over at a grocery store putting my groceries on the checkout belt, these 2 women started helping me and were kind of awkward. I thought it was so nice. Then I went to a full McDonald’s, bent down to put my grocery bags on the floor. Then I went home and went to the bathroom and realized I had completely bled through my beige shorts-a lot. The final insult to injury was when I brought my laundry to the laundromat I was given an invoice where I was charged extra and they wrote the reason why as BLOOD. This was 15+ years ago and I still think about it Lolol.

[@littlelilone9693]

Your videos genuinely live on in my heart. Thank you so much to an emotional extreme. The outfit is a look miss ma'am. I'll just lean back and enjoy the rest of the vid. Rock out fam.

[@thepurplepalace85]

this made my dayyyy! ily!

[@authenticallytrish]

You have such a nostalgic vibe. I’m glad you shared your astrology because it seems to make so much sense!!

[@gymnastkenzie68]

you are the ms. frizzle of this youtube art corner. love ur videos so much

[@chiaralilas]

I definitely love this long format video, I just did my chores & got ready for the day while listening to you! I'd personnally be interested in being an au pair but somewhere in America, I haven't tried it yet though bc I'm too scared lol

[@ineedmysyq]

You look so beautiful!!!😍 makes me happy to see you glowing again 💖

[@thepurplepalace85]

Thank you so much!!

[@modes1380]

Your videos make me feel not alone and help motivate me to continue my career in art and illustration, thankyou

[@thepurplepalace85]

I'm so glad!

[@SimonesBlankCanvas]

YES!!!! Thanks for mentioning how hard it is to get paid at the beginning of the artist journey! We should get paid for our work!!

[@laura2842]

love your Q and As, too funny. can't wait for the second part

[@michaelareilly2019]

I live in Europe now, but when I was living at home in the US, many people judged my choice to move to Europe and make films. A lot of people seem to look at that life as a "pipe dream" and "useless" because there is this idea that "truly talented" artists don't need schooling and its all bs. I would have not learned half as much about film and filmmaking if I had not invested in my education. To treat art and creativity as a talent that does not need expansion with education is kind of... pretentious, in a way. Does that make sense? Anyways, love your channel!

[@emiliaburgos5404]

Totally agree 💙

[@faithcunningham4780]

Love love love these videos they make me feel warm and after a long day, it’s nice to watch. Bisou 💋 don’t forget to take time for yourself Shayna lyl

[@safisafiasafia]

GIRL, YOURE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! 🤯😍

[@beaverbob5804]

Had a busy week and just watched this, I'm so sorry about your experience with the lady on the bike and the embarrassing moment with the past nanny as well LOL. I'm super excited for your EP and especially excited for the music videos you may create as well, I just know it will have awesome visuals!

[@cloell9718]

So happy you're happy!!! You look so colourful and lovely. Yellow always means power to me and that solar plexus, power Chakra vibe

[@yo-fc9qm]

Qué ganas de oír tu album!!! I'm willing to heare your album girl

[@anikejulien7273]

That new color is gorgeous 😍

[@hayyo9138]

I’m French and I lived in the USA for six years now I’m back to France and omg I feel like Americans sont vraiment des bons vivants. Il sortent la semaine, on une positivité incroyable et il y a beaucoup plus de trucs fun à faire la bas… Roller disco, drive thru movies, karaoke, wineries, breweries and so much more..

[@cheryldingley4546]

I really need more support as a female artist and I started now to actively go and get it instead of waiting for it to happen... you helped me with embracing my craziness uniqueness and yeah not being pressured to fit into one category but to really explore and have fuuuuuun!!! Best wishes to you from Berlin. I wanna join your patreon projects soon and get into contact because I really value community and rising together

You look so goooooddd. The hair color ❤️

[@thepurplepalace85]

Thank you so much 😀

[@lizikristesiashvili1861]

MOON IN PISCES , now i know the reason why i love you so much ♓️🧚

[@alletrevlac9231]

Your moon is also supposed to signify what makes you feel fulfilled emotionally, and Pisces is a super creative sign, so creating helps you to feel emotionally fulfilled and nurtures the child in you ❤️

[@thepurplepalace85]

oh thank you for this!

[@Belacroix5]

Hey do you know what a Sagittarius moon signifies? Thx 🙏🏼

[@Purplenpinkk]

Your hair reminds me of Goldie Hawn in the movie Private Benjamin when she gets engaged to the Parisian doctor. I love it!

[@angelasmith3332]

Tampon story is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@annastayziaa]

awww omg!! you're not alone in thinking your tampon got lost inside you 😭😂❤️ i've been through that too! lol!

[@jillypepper_]

Our astrological charts are similar, I have the same big three, just in a different order. Capricorn sun, Aquarius moon, Pisces rising. ✨

[@Papelito-bd6vq]

yeah girl, that ginger vibe is making wonders

[@ingridnilsen9126]

here for all of this ♥️

[@rosemarinetextiles]

i loved your answer to what would you tell yourself 8 years ago!!! it's so true! also crying at the tampon story lmaoooooo. nothing in there!!!

[@ana-bl6tg]

Of courseeeeeeee Aquarius, Pisces and Capricorn 💖💖💖

[@martaperez6014]

[@thepurplepalace85]

aw ily!

[@mariaeduardamota1705]

found out your channel by Katherout and i'm simply in love. it just feels like i'm talking to my fairy best friend.

[@annielinkous5771]

Oh Your Back Drop Is Sooo AdorableHappyVibez❣️❣️❣️😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@미미즈]

It's such a beautiful video. so lovely💜 I subscribed to the channel🎀

[@robinsummers9141]

You bring me such joy Shayna! I could just sit and chat with you all day. You had me laughing so hard with the tampon story. Lots of love to you!!

[@Leila2023_]

I'm glad that you talk about the issue of not being paid for working in artistic jobs (aprentice) after i finished film school we were all expected to move to london and work for free to 'get in' to the industry. it's free labour, reserved for the rich people who can afford to do that... so i had to retrain and follow a different path.

[@theanthy]

Going to try to come to your show in Paris. How cool

[@HaHinLeeExercise]

I had such crazy memory that I was hit by the bicycle and the bicycle fell off... so I felt so guilty... I hated that... Oh, by the way, congratulations for your graduation! Now you're stepping up to new jobs, new people... I mean, although you like your artist life : )

[@arelydavis]

You literally make me laugh and cry with your relatable stories. I truly treasure your refreshingly honest content ♥️🤗♥️ 34:37 “it’s like, up in there!” *waves arms around*- if this hasn’t happened to us menstruating folks at one point or another lol 😓😅

[@nosaybahamina9995]

Love this so much

[@annastayziaa]

yes, patriarchy dominates in all aspects of society - and art is not an exception. so heartbreaking. yes, women/girls should collaborate more and lift each other up. it's a life-long process countering our internalized misogyny as a result of being born into and growing up in a patriarchal society.

[@thornthipsangsurigan5402]

Hello from Paris too Really love your works also🌼💯👍

[@DestinyDiamond]

I can see you being an art professor in a NYC University. 🔥

[@gzmama1]

OMG, your embarrassing story happened EXACTLY to me! I was an exchange student in the UK at the time and had to have a friend go with me to a brand new GP to give me an exam. Needless to say, nothing was there and I wanted to crawl under a rock and just die of embarrassment. That didn't stop me from my partying days, though, hahahaha!

[@alexandralydia4362]

Love your new hair ❤️

[@Wildflowerafternoons]

😂😂😂 big giant hugs. We’re all a little lost sometimes and it’s alright. 😂 I laughed way to hard at the tampon story. Sorry. Very interesting. Keep shining your light ✨

[@jul2548]

I guessed your moon was in pisces before you said it!!! love you!

[@monicaescobar9312]

Loving the hair !!!

[@aurelia017]

Astro twins! I’m Aqua Sun, Pisces Moon and Aqua Mercury too 🤩

[@thepurplepalace85]

So cool!!! twinz

[@maddiemarin7301]

Was suppose to leave for an appointment. Stayed tuned in for the first nail bitting story of the thief assaulting you with her bike. Sorry you were injured. THEN the new in Paris, Ob/Gyn story for the laughs. Appreciate the share. Off to my appt.

[@Nanner823]

The tampon story 🤣. I would have been so afraid to say something that no one would have known until I was in toxic shock.

[@maisylarney1664]

Your hair looks amazeee welcome to the red head club👩‍🦰👩‍🦰🧚‍♀️

[@dubinia]
