People who are asking why I don't upload as much as I use to are not seeing the real truth. It's not because I don't care, exact opposite really. I care so much about securing the future of this channel and freedom of my creativity, that I spent the past 2 years intensely focused on making sure my other business is thriving so that my channel does not have to rely on sponsorships to survive. Any KZfaqr can tell you how important sponsorships are because they help pay the bills and video production.... however the downside is that it can limit creativity. Since the day my channel became popular, I literally had vultures and sharks swoop in to help " manage " my career, but in reality, I became another cash cow to these people. I realized it a few years ago and decided to leave them and hyper focus on my other businesses so that my KZfaq channel can once again become a creative outlet for me to express ( how it originally was before the vultures and sharks) ❤ I've been filming, editing and posting videos on my channel for 8 years straight. The first 4 years of my channel was pure creativity because money was not involved... However the expectation to make more money was displaced by those who only saw me as a $$$ machine. The next few years after that was miserable for me, I felt like a machine. Before the sharks, I was making KZfaq videos for fun, not for money....soon after there came a breaking point where I realized I was in a vicious cycle, so I pulled the plug on them, but guess what. They threatened to sue me, so the past year, I've been quietly battling these sharks ( while running my businesses and maintaining this channel ) My time was divided between all this. Most KZfaqrs usually focus on just KZfaq, but I was splitting up between YT and 5 other things! After a long hard battle, today marks the first day of my victory and freedom. So far, this year, I have done zero sponsorships( I turned down all commercial opportunities and big paying deals ) because I don't need them anymore for money. I have a business outside of KZfaq that is doing well. My channel is now back to becoming a source for inspiration and creativity The next few weeks, I am filming crazy high concept beauty videos, halloween looks and much much more. I am even developing my graphic novel that will be free to read . I never like to complain about my personal problems, but now that I overcame this obstacle, I feel comfortable revealing what really happened behind the scenes. Thank you so much for being patient and supporting me all these years. You inspire me to continue creating ❤

thumbs up if 00:19 has every happened to you 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Her videos relax me ☺️😌 she's like the therapist I've always needed lol 😂

AAAAHHH DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!!!!!

Love it :)!! Especially the sketch style ^^

To be cool in school, study hard, get good grades, get into your dream college.

haha, I like how Michelle sits down at the table all businesslike... and then opens up a laptop covered in cute stickers! hehe

Love the idea of putting your name on your laptop! you ladies killed it!! love

I ALWAYS SLEEP LATE ITS SO BAD

*i DEFINITELY check my phone to see if i can still sleep in lol idc about social media when i first wake up lol*

Omg Michelle you're always getting better and better with your video quality and content. It makes me so happy and you put so much love and effort in your videos , thank you soooo much!!! 💕💕💕

This is so well edited! But I feel like everytime I did my makeup for school/college it comes out worse than when I do it when I have nowhere to go 😩😩😩

"Ok but coffee first" I NEED THIS SHIRT

Such a fun video! I like seeing you collaborating with other KZfaqrs! Always so exciting to see what you come up with!

As for me who's stepping into the real adult world, I would just say enjoy the time you're in school, especially high school. I used to think high school was a huge deal but, I think that is when you have the most time to yourself and be creative as much as you want. Good Luck guys :)

I am obsessed with your editing 😍

Thanks Michelle for letting me be a part of this video! Had so much filming with you & Natalie 😊😊😊

I work in a ER (on my feet all night) and don't work at a desk. Yet I still want to personalize my work area, and bring something beautiful to my work environment. I would love for you to do a video for people who don't have desks/personal area to ourselves, those of us always on the go. Love your video's Michelle!

All your videos about back to school stuff and getting ready in five minutes and you know keeping yourself organised are helping relax a bit. I start university in January and was completely stressed about how I am going to manage my time between all the activities I do and the studying. Thank yo so much for making these videos. They really do help.

I just realized that I have been watching you for over a year Michelle. I specifically remember watching last year's Back to School video. I can't believe It's been that long! Still loving the videos after so long too :)

Love the VIP hidden shout out! #VIP4Ever #BigBang

I recommend using a potato as a stress ball, replace as necessary. Foam and plastic stress balls can be a incubator for germs and diseases.

awww how cute is the Cony in LINE!!! ive been using LINE for a long time and Cony(the bunny) is my favorite character of all the time 😀😀😀

VIP with crown in the yellow room! BIGBANG! :D

Omg I love how she doesn't stick to one type of theme to her videos

Editing and set is absolute perfection

Oh my God! I remember when Natalie had like 800 subscribers and now she's working with you! God blessed ya'll!

School starts next week for me, so this is just in time for me!

Why is your editing always so on point ❤️😭

HOLY CRAP UR VIDEOS ARE EDITED TO PERFECTION & THEY LOOK LIKE MOVIES

I love all the Line character stickers used in this video , Line stickers are the best lol

Loved this video!

You are seriously my favorite youtuber. You stay humble, present amazing, breathtaking quality and video content that no other youtuber (mainstream) can. And through your videos we can see how hard you work to keep updating for your subscribers, thank you! LOVE YOU!

This was really cute! I could listen to your voice all day Michelle it's so soothing xx

Michelle, I think it's so amazing and endearing how much you care about other people's dreams. You've never taken your achievements/success for granted and you use that constant appreciation to help make other people's dreams come true. I notice that you're always trying to make other people's talents known and you never try to hinder anyone from becoming the best they can be for your own success. That's such a beautiful thing about you. Great video, as always! I'm subscribed to Natalie and I loved seeing her in this video! She has so much talent and personality and it makes me so happy to see that you've recognized her. Also, everyone looked beautiful

Love that you've had it laid out from high school, college (uni) then work. Really versatile thx Michelle

your videos always calm me down xx

Your videos are like Comersials but moooore Fun and MAJESTIC 💙 Love u Mish & wish u the best🌌💜

Love the video! I'm so happy that you overcame the obstacle. It must have been tough!

How come michelle is been getting lesser views lately? Honestly i think the amount of effort she puts to edit her videos and incredibly alot . I think she deserves wayy more.

Your videos are always so amazing! Love you, Michelle! (& your voice is SOOO calming!)

School started about 4-3 weeks ago for me..... At least we get a 3-day weekend!

This video is perfect! its awesome too see you guys working together!

Loved this video! I always admired how Michelle always focused on skincare and showing off your best features. Also loved the idea of placing items around you that stimulate the five senses so you're more energized and inspired. Another great video to watch!

This video is very helpful but omg can u please bring back some makeup tutorials the ones you do are amaizing

Love the way you edit your videos. So calming and simplistic. By far better than the pathetic 16 year olds who use all this deafening music with flashy neon crap.

I've watched this like literally 20 times yet I'm still not bored- That's how amazing and inspiring you are, Michelle

I love how much your videos are now, watching your KZfaq channel grow is legit goals

VIP!!! BigBang! Eeeep!

LOVE this video! You're always so creative Mish ❤️✨

Michelle yet another helpful amazing video I'm amazed to see how your balance with all your jobs and you still have time for us x from long time fan Alice xxx

In my school, I can't wear tank tops cause apparently "It can turn on boys" Or i cant wear on my leggings cause its "inappropriate" The most comfortable yet nice clothes I have its ban from my school. Great!

I do miss how personal your older videos were.

I'm actually setting my office at home currently and what you showed here really inspired me on what to do with my work space. Thank a lot Michelle! Will always be a fan. ☺️

love the diy laptop idea!

I want to collab with you Michelle!!!!! :D

It's so sad cuz in my high school we have uniform :'0

Love the little bunny add ins! So cute.

Michelle, I love these videos you make about work. It inspires me so much! Thank you for that.

Someone here knows to "Yuya" she has a makeup Channel and almost 12.000.000 millons followers... 😄

VIP = BIGBANG

Forever the KZfaq Queen! Love you, Michelle! Thank you for inspiring us to always reach for greatness!

Your videos always make me so happy! I know that you are busy and I am so thankful that you still put so much effort into your videos!

As always bravo! Also I needed this thank you

inspired to organize and enhance my workspace now

Such a good video! Loved watching it☺️☺️

This is so cool! I like how this video was put together!

Really cute video! I loved how short and simple it was and how creative the backgrounds were!!

I just love how Michelle can make something as common as make up an artistic experience with space, and stars and galaxies and stuff.

Mish, I've been following you for ever and one thing that really makes me get attached to your videos is it always calming for me after the video ends. I also get this creative and a "can do" feeling from your videos. They are motivational in a way without looking like one. I really hope you would still make videos even when you get so busy because they're like hypnoting me to really work hard to reach my dream. Love ya! 💙💛💚

Love chrisspy! And the editing was amazing

You are so inspiring. I don't know how but you have a relaxing and trusty voice. Your videos are GREAT

Michelle Phan is the definition of career and KZfaq goals

love the laptop case ideas - my school gives out those clear cases so i can't wait to try!

Love this! So crazy cool and fun to watch!

To me waking up is always hard my work schedule can be hectic at times but well worth it. It depends when and what time I go to bed at on weekends I go to bed late and wake up late.On weekdays I have to go to bed at a decent time to get a good amount of sleep I need at least 9 or 8 hours. If I get less sleep I tend to get sluggish , tierd and moody now every day even weekends I turn on an alarm so I don't over sleep. Awesome video Michelle it's a favorite of mine and it helps me out too .

So much useful info and awesome tips. Love the editing also!! :)

Love your videos Michelle! !
