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.
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
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 🥰
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 😅
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 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 ❤
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
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!!
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'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.
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 RUclipsr🩷 I'm so happy for you that you found your thing to do and I wish you the best! Much love 🩷🩷🩷
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
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 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! ♥
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 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.
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'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 🍙
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
White chocolate in Japan taste like butter with chemical sweetener. You should try european white choco Actually Japanese classic brown chocolate also taste gross. You should buy German chocolate! :-D Best!
i love you with both no bang and bangs, but my person preference is no bangs, i've missed seeing your lovely forehead. it's like when taehyung from bts combs his hair up and you can see the whole combination of the face, you just have a nice face and it is good to see it from time to time, but you do you girl

@@mikanmandarin thank you so much! I hope so too!🥰

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

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 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.
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 ❤

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 yes def make a series pls I love this format. I love the sleepover hand out vibes 🍿🍪🍵
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.
That hairstyle looks so cute on youuu💖

Stop this is so funny to me AHAHAAHAH i need to meet people who watched me in their formative years 😭😭😭
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 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! ♥
such a waste that u dont watch your own videos :)) because you’re my comforting youtuber and also an inspiration
I agree, white chocolate should not count. It's too sweet for me, give me dark chocolate!!
Your hair looks beautiful like that ✨🤍
Merry〜Christmas🎄🎅
Thank you for always introducing Japanese snacks, beverages and products.👍👍👍👍👍👌🇸🇪🇯🇵
The pink color is nice.💗💗💗💗💗👌
I wish you a happy new year👍
Love the way Teddy's belly jiggled when you held him 🥰😂😂
I’m the same with sleeping so I work in retail as a supervisor and only do the evening shifts 🤣
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 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.
That’s also my theory 😭😭
I love the hair! But I do think the bangs suit you a bit more! 💗✨✨
If you’d come to Germany itd be a dream come true oml (I’ve been following you since like 2018 or maybe even earlier) 😭
Listens to video while doing nails 💅🏽✨ perfect self care time
Soo hyped for the new video 🎉
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'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 🍙
Poookiie u r back agaain yaaaay 🍓🩷🫧✨
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. 😂😂😂
You look good with and without bangs
vina of the valley in germany??? i need to go i live in poland so its so close!!
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
White chocolate in Japan taste like butter with chemical sweetener. You should try european white choco
Actually Japanese classic brown chocolate also taste gross. You should buy German chocolate! :-D Best!
Your very entretaning. Also love your hair❤
Omggg we r so back
Mikan have you played dress to impress? I feel like you’d enjoy it
I missed you 🤭
Loving this long hair on you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Def make it a serious!!
white chocolate counts' cause it's made from cocoa oil
you gave yourself a WHAT from drinking so much jasmine tea?!!?!?
i love you with both no bang and bangs, but my person preference is no bangs, i've missed seeing your lovely forehead. it's like when taehyung from bts combs his hair up and you can see the whole combination of the face, you just have a nice face and it is good to see it from time to time, but you do you girl
As much as I love the bangs, I think I prefer to no bangs look.
🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀
Wait can jasmine tea give you a uti?!
12:03
Mikan..not to be an armchair psychologist but you just described delayed sleep phase disorder
She has said she has adhd so that’s a huge factor I’d think
Wait… did maple passed?🥺
So basically Mikan is Yasu sugermommy 😂
I was a night owl until I hit 30
omgg
What happened to maple?
