The rant about the "normal" workday being so unaccommodating is VERY real. I'm extremely lucky to have a job where I can work from home because my ideal schedule is a bit too wacky for a regular american 9 to 5😭
I think I'm struggling with the same issues you had while working all your past jobs, I'm also a night owl and for years I've been sleep deprived and highly stressed/depressed due to the work environments in this society. I hope one day I can follow in your footsteps and be able to schedule my life and art around a time and space that works for me! Thank you for sharing cant wait to see what awaits your brand in 2025! Cheers and Happy New Year.
I think she should get tested for adhd. I always had the same symptoms as her. I got myself tested and my psychiatrist told me I have adhd. It makes me feel soooooo seen. I always thought I was weird
I'm also a night owl. I have a similar story to yours of only sleeping 4 or 5 nights per week and maximum 5 hours on those nights when I was in school or had to work morning jobs. But, for the last 8 years I have been at a job where I make my own schedule. So I sleep 2-10 and work 11-19. It's perfect and I sleep better than I ever have in my life! I really don't understand why society feels the need to force everyone on a 9-17 schedule. All my coworkers work that way and it is actually super nice that I stay late. I'm the CSO of a bioanalysis company so I can help them chemists with instruments or project things that need happen after they leave.
if you feel like your hair is too weighed down, try a diffuser! it takes way longer than a normal hair drier but still faster than just air drying, and so then because its not weighed down by the water for as long, it'll also be a bit curlier and have more volume!
I agree sm with going to sleep “late” and waking up “late” to 😭 I know I can never do a revalue job for that reason to. I can’t function in the morning and exactly when I did have to wake up early - school, I would still go to sleep late and just be sleep deprived during my school time. So rn I’m stuck working in retail cause I can get late shifts. I’m hoping to switch to a more creative job but it’s hard. You inspire me a lot tho Mikan! 💗
I don't have girl friends after moving back to my tiny hometown after university. So, this girl time talk with you is really precious to me. Please keep making videos like this
I have a similar cat dynamic: I have one 18 year old lady cat who is extremely mindful and demure and never a problem at all, and one 16 year old boy cat menace who is so clingy it feels like he maybe wants to wear my skin. I’ve thought about getting a third cat because I have the space where I live, and I’d love another sweet senior kitty, but one of my cats demands attention equivalent to a human toddler so it seems like it might be best to wait and see if he mellows out in his old age enough to allow for another cat at some point. I swear it’s always boy cats who are like this, they’re our Large Adult Sons lmao
We have the same hair texture Mikan! 💕 My routine is: soaking wet hair, leave in conditioner, mousse, stronghold gel using a bounce curl brush, diffuse upside down without touching the hair and scrunch out the cast with a light oil. It’s tedious but this way gives me ringlets that last days so i suffer for the greater good 😅
Preach!!! I hate being called lazy or that I'm 'wasting the day' because I like to do more things at night than in the morning 😩I can still get a lot done if my day starts at 11 rather than 6 am
I've been busy and haven’t had a ton of time to watch you videos in a while, realizing I watched you so much in early high school that I think I stole a lot of my mannerisms from you 😭 honestly though I loved watching this video I need to binge all the ones I missed
I love these types of videos!! Honestly, I think you should start a podcast, I could listen to you talk for ages haha. It feels like having a big sister! 🫶
I just want to say that you and Stan are my comfort youtubers, whenever I had a rough day your videos feel like a virtual hug, you guys really inspired me to work hard and make my dream of coming to Japan true ❤
I have been drawing and designing clothes on paper my whole life and really enjoy doing it... Seeing you succeed inspires me. Im going to try and start making my own clothes and maybe go to at home fashion school! Also, the last question was mine! Thanks so much for responding, my heart dress has been sent out today so i cannot wait to get it 🥰
This was so fun! 🩷 the conbini snacking in pajamas felt like a sleepover! Also omg that heart cut out dress is my favorite right now and I’m so ready for the restock and top when it drops 😍🩷
I love it when you think out loud and share vulnerable and deep thoughts with us, you feel like my close girl friend then ❤ I'm so happy to hear you being happy 🥰 I need like at least one of these videos a month! But maybe less snacking next time, I felt like the snacks distracted you from going deeper into the topics of the questions 💕
Lady Mikan we will gladly accept this as a new series offering 🛐 I love your videos so much but I understand you're posting as much as you can. So if this kind of video is easy for you to make, yes!! Please, make it a series. Thank you!
The tea thing is so real. One time I ate way too much fasolya and rice (because I love it so much) and ended up being sick. I had to go to a hospital IN KURDISTAN for the first time and it was terrifying but very worth it for fasolya.
Mikann, you really make me want to dye my hair pink but it's naturally dark brown and curly so idk if it could work. Happy holidays!!! I love ur brand!!
for the hair, id recommend having it be wet and using soemthing to moisturize it ((leave-in conditioner or even just not fully washing out regular conditioner)), some type of styling product ((depends on your hair type//texture//porosity[[???]], and a gel. id also put the hair styler in your hair in sections ((like bottom section, middle of back, sides, top, etc)) and scrunching as you go while making sure it is wet. it takes a long time for my hair to dry, but a hair diffuser is really good ((it diffuses the air when blow drying so it isnt as strong and doesnt blow your hair around, creating frizz)) for voluem, wait until its fully dry and carefully put your hands under your hair shaking at the root and kimd of fluffing it before scrunching the already dry ends of your hair ((so the volume is created, this is usually referred to as scrunching out the crunch, which is why the gel//styler is important)) it totally depends on your hair type, style youre going for, time on your hands, etc but it totally helps with it being defined and shiny !! esp the ends
Haven't watched Mikan in so long. I used to watch her videos every day about a year ago. Would love this to become a series. I was really hoping to see you try the melty kiss candy because I've been debating on buying it but wanted to know what the texture is like so I had hoped to see it here. Oh well 🫣
I love that you made a comment about Teddy being a menace and trying to eat Maples food, and then he saw the opportunity to eat Lalas food in the background. 🤣
I solved the night owl thing by getting a night shift factory job. I had trouble waking up for my cashiering job, but I realized when I got a pizza place job that I did so much better on the second shift, but I still struggled in the morning. I always felt more alive once the sun went down. Idk what it is. Now I work 12 hour night shift job, but I could probably not do a 12 hour day shift 😵. Idk how people do it. I think we have natural night owls sprinkled in the population because someone had to defend the camp from bears or guard the castle at night.
Also I totally relate to the work story! It’s so hard to do society’s rigid work hours and expectations. I’m so grateful I have a creative job with flexible schedule too 😆 my bipolar brain is too spicy to have a 9-5 job 😂
I would Looove a series of this!🩷 Also I've been watching you videos I think for 6/7 years and you are definitely my comfort TH-camr🩷 I'm so happy for you that you found your thing to do and I wish you the best! Much love 🩷🩷🩷
Where do you recommend getting your hair done in Japan? I will be visiting for the entire month of March and want to get my hair and nails done but I'm finding it hard to find places to go to
Hi~ where is your pink chair from? I would like to know what its called so I could also get one, since its so cute🥰(Im talking about the big chairs next to you)Love your videos since 2021👏😩
I think no bangs is lovely bc you have a great face and a lovely complexion going on, BUT you should follow your heart always! Our appearances are mere echoes of who we are inside, so have fun with it! ♥
I'm a bit late lol...can I please just request for a video where you and Yasu do the spicy Korean noodle challenge. I'm not sure what your spice tolerance is like, but it will be super hilarious for sure! 😅 Get the og buldak Ramen. I'm such a foodie btw 😋 so thanks for putting in the effort to film a conbini food vid 🍙
Merry〜Christmas🎄🎅 Thank you for always introducing Japanese snacks, beverages and products.👍👍👍👍👍👌🇸🇪🇯🇵 The pink color is nice.💗💗💗💗💗👌 I wish you a happy new year👍
I have the same sleeping problem! On sundays I get 0 hours every week and by Friday I’m up to 4-5 hours. Waking up early stresses me out so much I’m not built for 8-5 :( even after so long I can’t adjust

i love the hair!!! it might feel less voluminous but it gives cool relaxed older sister vibes it looks super flattering and cute

Love the pink hair I love how dark the pink color your hair looks
The tea thing is so real. One time I ate way too much fasolya and rice (because I love it so much) and ended up being sick. I had to go to a hospital IN KURDISTAN for the first time and it was terrifying but very worth it for fasolya.
Your hair in this video is amazing!
This hairstyle is perfect for you Mikan!
I always like watching q&a but I'll admit I don't watch them when they're too long. This length is perfect for a q&a in my opinion.
Make it a series ! 💖💅🏼
this was so fun to watch 🎀💗
Mikann, you really make me want to dye my hair pink but it's naturally dark brown and curly so idk if it could work. Happy holidays!!! I love ur brand!!
so excited aaaa
for the hair, id recommend having it be wet and using soemthing to moisturize it ((leave-in conditioner or even just not fully washing out regular conditioner)), some type of styling product ((depends on your hair type//texture//porosity[[???]], and a gel.
id also put the hair styler in your hair in sections ((like bottom section, middle of back, sides, top, etc)) and scrunching as you go while making sure it is wet. it takes a long time for my hair to dry, but a hair diffuser is really good ((it diffuses the air when blow drying so it isnt as strong and doesnt blow your hair around, creating frizz))
for voluem, wait until its fully dry and carefully put your hands under your hair shaking at the root and kimd of fluffing it before scrunching the already dry ends of your hair ((so the volume is created, this is usually referred to as scrunching out the crunch, which is why the gel//styler is important))
it totally depends on your hair type, style youre going for, time on your hands, etc but it totally helps with it being defined and shiny !! esp the ends
omg make this a series please, I LOOOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEO 🥹💗

I agree, white chocolate should not count. It's too sweet for me, give me dark chocolate!!
I teach kids. You have to have soooo much patience. I swear to God... there's times when I don't even believe my patience. 😂😂😂

Loving this long hair on you!
