    TIP FOR ALL SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS! Wix is a great alternative to Etsy! They DO NOT take any commission from your sales, you only pay a fixed rate for whichever hosting plan you choose. Etsy recently announced that they're raising their commission from 3% to 5% per sale, which is damaging for many indie sellers. This can easily add up to $50-$100 a month going to Etsy just for sales commission, which is way more than any hosting plan from other platforms.
    I've finally completed Draw My Life, hope it answers many questions you guys might have :D. In a short summary, I was born in China, grew up in Vienna, studied in London and then worked as a designer for many years. In 2011 I was diagnosed with lupus which forced me to take a break from working and in that time I came up with the idea of starting a UA-cam channel that doesn't focus on beauty, makeup or appearance. To make it clear, I'm not opposed to frivolous content (I obviously still like makeup and fashion) but I feel they are extremely over-represented on social media.
    When I started UA-cam 5 years ago, there were very few female influencers who chose to remain off camera, and who didn't use their face and body as a primary source of content. This has actually changed a lot since then when all the DIY and life hack channels started taking off, so I was really happy to see that happen.
    For me, the difference between fashion/beauty content and DIY is attainability. If I make a slime or plushie DIY then I know with confidence that at least 90% of viewers can achieve the exact same results if they really wanted to, even if they live in completely different countries around the world. If I post lifestyle content of myself spending $1000 on clothes or cosmetics, then I know that less that 1% of my viewers can realistically replicate that experience. I feel that influencers have some form of moral obligation towards their viewers, instead of choosing to flaunt their blessings under the guise of "being inspirational".

    Hello Joanna (I think that’s how you spell it,) and thank you. I appreciate that you’ve shared your story with everybody and have had to confidence to do so. I think, like you, that it is nice to have a woman influencer who isn’t just interested in looks and money. I like people who don’t care about looks and money and who are kind in general. You’ve showed that life isn’t just easy peasy and that you have to work for it. For example, when you said you had had lupus and that it wasn’t easy to recover from and regain your confidence, you said that you kept thinking positive and happy and that helped. I hope to be like you one day and I’ve watched you since I was very young. Thank you Joanna!!

      saeedahmad saleemi she took a really long time to prepare the tracing and then she traced it under a camera and she used the mode called time lapse(the tracing is quite long as well if u want if to be precise, at least for me...) ,

      Maqaroon you should put all the pages in order, put them in a white folder and add to it whenever something important happens in your life! Then it can be a book about your life and you can treasure it forever and always be adding to it! Btw the white folder is so you can title it and decorate it

    @hailey8236 3 роки тому +12

    A lot of people in the comments have been saying that she has been tracing but I don’t think that is the case because a lot of artists usually sketch first, and all of the drawings are different poses with the same art style/character. Also, if she traced, she would have given credit.

  • @insomniachan9764
    @insomniachan9764 6 років тому +79

    Wow.. 6 whole years of a headache ): I can find a similarity in that. I've had an unknown sickness for more than a year now, and i get constant dizziness. I went to different doctors and therapy. They told me that there was nothing wrong with me and could be just stress. I have a symptom of vertigo, but that's not a diagnosis. I have a busy life as well, including a job as a personal care aide/nurse!
    I am glad lupis (is that how you spell it?) doesn't affect your life! Or those headaches that you would have! It's hard on me at times, but been trying to endure it along with taking herbal tonics for now. I hope to find an answer one day! You're really strong-minded and i admire you and your arts/crafts!! 💕

    • @maqaroon
      @maqaroon  5 років тому +5

      Yes dealing with constant headaches is really tiring and hope you manage to find a way to improve yours! I definitely think that stress plays a role as well, so when your life circumstances change then headache patterns sometimes automatically go away. Since daily routines tend to shift ever 5 years or so (depending on new jobs, new homes, new relationship) there is always hope that your symptoms will improve on their own!

    • @insomniachan9764
      @insomniachan9764 5 років тому

      Raveka ENT was one of my doctors! They told me that everything was perfectly fine with my ears, nose and throat. I have done multiple tests to figure it out, but still nothing, sadly!

    • @insomniachan9764
      @insomniachan9764 5 років тому

      Maqaroon Thank you so much! I really do think stress can be one of the factors into my dizziness. It was probably all the built-up stress i had in college since i was an art major myself 😅 Art can be very time consuming and stressful at times, especially given major projects! I still believe i can find an answer one day. This video of you talking made me believe and hope more ☺️

    Hi Maqaroon, you may not read this comment, but I just wanna say thank you.
    Your channel has made such a big impact to my life. If it weren't for your videos, I would have not started crafting, which is one of my biggest hobbies. I found your channel when I was around 9 or 10, and I was amazed by the crafts that you made and it gave me a big inspiration. Now I am 14, and seeing your channel grows makes me proud and I would remember back in the days when I found your channel :') Art and crafting is my passion, and you have helped me found it.
    Once again, thank you! 💗💕

      Yeah, it's particularly frustrating when you're young since objectively, 99% of people with the same symptom have something totally harmless. Doctors hate patients googling things, but in my case I researched lots of stuff online and then insisted on having certain tests done 😂.

    Normally when I watch “draw my life” videos I don’t feel like the person is being honest. But with you I actually do feel you are.
    Especially the part where you were angry and the social media icons.
    I too am a graphic designer who speaks multiple languages, has a family that comes from another country. Love crafts and diy and found that crafts were my escape as I too am a massive nerd/geek.
    I also have a mental health disease (not terribly unlike your lupus’ health anxiety) that causes me to be introverted.
    I honestly feel like you’re a kindred spirit from another place. And I love watching your videos.

    When I was 11 I had terrible headaches so I went to the hospital and after like 6 months of tests and scans they told me it was lupus but then after a year of more tests and scans they found out that it was microscopic polyangiitis (mpa) and when I was in the hospital I would watch your videos and say I'm going to make that when I get out and I did and it helped soo much so Thank you for making these videos and staying strong through the processes 💕

    oh wow... actually seeing channels like yours, where you do not show your face, and only focus on creativity, gave me courage to start my own channel 3 years ago.l. I love so much crafting but I don't like speaking in front of the camera. So thank you for this and for sharing your story 😍

  • @sonyapeach

    Hello Maqroon, I first want to say thank you for sharing your story. It turns out you and I have more things in common than I previously thought. I subscribed to you because you are a wonderful artist and crafter and have inspired me immensely over the years. Also when you started to talk about your headaches and how they seemed to come out of nowhere, I thought to myself " this is similar to me, I hope she doesn't have lupus". Unfortunately I was right and I'm sorry you are going through it, but I glad to hear you are in remission. I am still waiting to be diagnosed but officially I have chronic headaches and Migraines, fibromyalgia, arthritis in most joints and chronic fatigue. Unofficially I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia, arthritis, and Migraines. Well the good part is you give me hope to one day live a somewhat normal pain free life.

    • @maqaroon

      Thank so you much! This video looks really speedy when you watch it but each of the drawings took hours to sketch and ink (there were about 30 altogether). A normal DIY only takes 2-3 hours to film so I could've made 5 videos in the time I spent doing this one 😂

    Now that I have heard all of the symptoms of lupus and looked it up, it terrifies me. Everyday I have horrible headaches and sharp pains either in my head, stomach, or back. There is also rashes starting on my thighs and underarms. Any advice? I don’t know if it’s lupus and these things could mean nothing but it still scares me because the headaches are getting worse.

    • @sqine
      @sqine 5 років тому +4

      ItsOnlyBailey J oh my...I don’t know what to say. Those were my symptoms when I first was diagnosed. Stay strong 💪 If you do happen to get it, just know we’re all here beside you! Don’t be scared, it may be a big shock, but I know that you can make it. Talk about it to your doctor and stay positive. I wish you the best. I also have lupus and I’m happily living normally. Nothing that I have to do for it affects me but just know, you’ll be alright 💜

    hey joanna just wanted to say how brave you were to talk about your lupus. i almost felt like crying because i too also have this illness and seeing you talk about it made me feel not so alone. i really look up to you and i have loved watching your videos while trying to create and draw myself. i was diagnosed around my junior year of high school - i was anemic, i had weight loss with my hair was falling out as well. often times i would flare up with an aching chest and a horrible butterfly rash. i am twenty now but doing better. thank you so much for sharing with us all that you have been through. much love and continue to do what you do best ❤️ ✨

    Hey, I know how you feel when you talked about how it felt unfair that you got sick at such a young age. Because a month ago I got Diagnosed with cancer. And it was a very rare type called a clear cell sarcoma. Right now I'm recovering from my precious surgery. were they moved my ovary up into my stomach area. Because they didn't want it to spread more because it had already spread to my lymph nodes and my lymph nodes Werw right next to my ovary. Then I start proton therapy on the 20th. My cancer is resistant to chemo so I'm not getting chemo. My tumor is 4.5 inches and it's in my hip.

    Wow! I can totally relate to your illness story! I too have an autoimmune disease. I was diagnosed when I was six, so it seemed pretty unfair that I had to get shots for almost any time I ate something. Just this late April/Early May, I was invited to a health conference in Rome! I am a pontifical hero, and I actually met a family where 2 of their girls also had Lupus! It was really cool to hear your story!

    I too was born with the umbilical cord around my neck (plus the doctor who delivered me broke my right collarbone). As I continued to watch your video and you mentioned that you suddenly started getting headaches that eventually resulted in a diagnosis of lupus, I began to wonder if I might have it. My mother was diagnosed with lupus in 1988 and she worried that my brother or I might also have it. I've had blood drawn for various other reasons, but not to see if I had lupus. It might just be a coincidence that I too suffer from bad headaches (which has been going on for years), but after watching your video I think I'll make an appointment with my doctor. Not really knowing exactly what is causing these headaches is quite frustrating. Thank you for sharing your life with your fans :)
