Thank you all so much for your continued support for my channel. All the comments, likes, shares and engagement are key to the success of my RUclips journey so I really appreciate it so much! Hope you enjoyed this Vlog ❤
Sending you so many positive blessings for this new chapter Mikee! I love how you referred to yourself as “old people” in the vlog - I’m turning 40 this year (kind of freaking out) but you’ve inspired me that it’s never too late or “too old” to be a stylish, relatable, warm vlogger at any age 💛✨ can’t wait for the next video x
Hi! I found your vlog the other day and I subscribed right away. I've just started my channel here and I love finding vloggers and people who inspire me. Glad to hear your interview went well!
Congratulations on your new job offer! Glad you've found something that works for you and that gives you the space to do other exciting work that interests you.
Congrats on the job offer! That’s really exciting and deserved a great dinner. I hope everything works out for you ❤ P.S. the quality and color grading is awesome as usual - share your secrets lol
Thanks Kaytie! In terms of color grading, such a noob with that so I just use a LUT I found when I started and use a very low opacity of it (like 15%) and then I'll take down the highlights of my footage since I like a more tone down look. Hoping one day I can get into color grading.
Just great how you're transparent with your current situation (re: unemployment and taking side gigs), not a lot of people can do that. Congrats on the part-time offer btw! I do have a question, for content creator/social media manager jobs, did you rely 100% on your experience as a YT creator? Or did you take up some courses online to brush up on it? Thanks and all the best Mikee!
congrats Mikee!! this will help to take some of the pressure off while deciding your next steps. love seeing you turn this difficult time into a positive one 🖤
Unemployment works the same in Illinois as well. Some seasonal jobs keep you working at least 2 days a week so you don't have to file for Unemployment because you would be making more compared to what you would be getting from Unemployment. Unemployment only pays half of what you would be getting paid from your job. This works well if your hourly rate is on the higher end. My hubby explained it to me a couple of times but I don't remember all the details
I'm so happy for you Mikee and I think this was totally the right move, still allowing time for you to be intentional and grow your platform without burning out juggling another full time new gig. also LOVED the music choice for dinner, such a vibe
I think a part-time job is exactly what you need because you are building this RUclips community! For instance, I’m already hooked to watching your videos and every time you post something new I have to see it so don’t stop doing this passion project because we are watching ❤
I'm new here. I love your vlogs! I'm from the SF Bay Area. I was laid off recently, it's been a long time. I've also worked more than half my life. I've been laid off before. My mental health really took a toll on me and I'm trying to come back strong, I haven't been able to land another job (that has been a good fit) and I was laid off last September. You have a great attitude, I love your content! I wish you all the best on your new job and gig! I'm considering becoming a content creator as I am also a designer of men's underwear and I have a new product that I would like to promote myself and my wife has helped me to get into photography and photo editing. It's overwhelming as I'm inexperienced with the content creating, but I know I will find my way eventually. Sorry for the long comment lol I'm a bit ADHD (self diagnosed).
Hey there! Thanks for sharing a little about your story! Rooting for you and your business! If you can start a business you can definitely learn content creating. Wishing you all the best bro!
Mikee that burger looked great …a bit to saucy though😂😂😂…and that dinner looked 🔥🔥🔥…congrats on the new gig something tells me big things are heading your way keep up the great work your vlogs are awesome 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yea, way too much sauce and the other burger had very little - hopefully they're ironing out the kinks since that was day 1 of opening because the flavors were there. The Izakaya dinner on the other hand was a 10/10!
Congrats on the part time gig! Your a natural story teller and I’m enjoying your content-You and your husband (& your girls) have such a sweet and blessed life so it’s important to celebrate with each other as well as with your family & friends as often as possible!
That burger had way too much sauce for me, haha! This new job sounds like a good fit for you right now and the food at that restaurant looked SO GOOD!!
❤ your videos. Random question: can you share the contractor who did your living shelves? I love your shelves and I am in San Diego and I would love someone to do something at my house.
Sorry to hear about your unemployment - I think I replied to another comment but basically just start making short form content, tag brands in hopes to be seen. Use that short form content for your portfolio too. Keep your head up and rooting for you!
Thank you! It's in La Mesa, reservations recommended as it's a pretty small spot, lmk if you ever decide to check them out, would love to know what you think!
Mikee, congrats!! I hope by now the job is officially official and that you are loving it! Your energy is infectious and I can see why they were quick to snatch you and make you part of their team. Also, big score for them because the aesthetics you will bring to their brand is unmatched!
I love that you have been able to pick up contract work and make some money! Unemployment doesn't seem worth it sometimes. You aren't making nearly as much as you were when you were employed but aren't allowed to work side gigs to bring in extra money on top of the unemployment. I hate it! I am happy you were offered a new part-time job to at least get a break mentally and be able to explore your options and work on some passions! I love your channel and thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Mikee, Congratulations 🎉🍾 Lady hi so good to see you!! I love the way I can see Monsters statue, where you have her is beautiful 🩷 Donny you gotta get in the vlogs more lol 😂 I hope you all had (have) a wonderful Valentines 💌 till next time ✌🏼🫶🏼✌🏼
Congrats Mikee, I just love your vlogs and have been watching and waiting for new one. Please do more stories about your two cute dogs too, I love them and also your beautiful home. I just enjoy seeing them. All best wishes and love ❤❤
Congratulations on the new job. It will work out I am sure and part time does give you extra time for personal interests! The cuisine looked superb! Thank you for the video!
I think this is a really great move for you! I mean if you’re making that kind of green with UGC my guess at your rate by the end of the year you won’t need a full time job. It’s great seeing you to continue to grow! This is just the beginning.
This was a one-off couple of weeks. Normally average 0-1 UGC gigs a month (I think 8 total last year). 3 landed on my lap during those two weeks which is not usual 😭
The other day one of your video just appear in my youtube recommendations and inspired me to start soon this way to video vlog. Congrats for the new job offer!
Thank you all so much for your continued support for my channel. All the comments, likes, shares and engagement are key to the success of my RUclips journey so I really appreciate it so much! Hope you enjoyed this Vlog ❤
Always enjoy your vlogs and I love the music!!
Mikee’s storytelling, aesthetics, and vulnerability come together in such a perfect way. This has quickly become my favorite channel!
🥹🫶🏼
Same here! I watch it like a sitcom! 😂
100% agree 💛

Yessssssss!!! Congrats on the new job Mikee! 🎉❤
So happy to hear you’re going to continue your RUclips channel as well. Yay! 💕💕💕
Thanks Priscilla! Yes, so glad that I'll still have time for RUclips and other content creating opportunities!

Excited to hear about your new career adventure and glad that it is an option so you can keep going with the passion project 😊
Take the unemployment you are a taxpayer ❤
Congratulations Mikee! I know you’ll do great at whatever you do. I hope this new adventure will bring you more peace and joy! 😊😊😊

Way to go Mikee ! You might not get a chance to collect any unemployment insurance now lol.
I'm low key a little bummed as I never got to experience "fun-employment" - totally grateful though lol.
Wow! you got a job so quickly! you're amazing!!! Everyone is not able to do that.
Thanks! NGL, I'm sure a little luck and good timing had a big part to play here plus it being part-time, probably really helped too!
I'm so happy for you Mikee and I think this was totally the right move, still allowing time for you to be intentional and grow your platform without burning out juggling another full time new gig. also LOVED the music choice for dinner, such a vibe

Omg propranolol taker here! #anxiety 😅 Also congratulations on the job offer!
