i absolutely adore how you write “good for ME”, instead of just generalizing and assuming that what works for you works for everyone. it’s a small detail but it shows how considerate you are ❤

[OPPAWONTMARRYYOU]

I'd love to see more What I eat in a Day (Week!!!) honestly, I've really been enjoying these lately and would LOVE to see yours back!

[unnchy_]

I love how she said she made muffins so that EVERYONE has something to snack on 😊

[martapopiela]

I was at the meet-up and it was AMAZING, thank you for organising it again! It's weird but incredible to see myself in one of your videos after watching them for so long!!!

[rosedenali]

Mina the meetup was sooo lovely ❤❤ thank you for all the effort and lovely vibes and smiles :) I got to meet so many amazing people that day (and also tasted the absolute best lavender coffee & tahini buns!!!)

[madeleine]

these all look v good!! Something I've been obsessed with lately, that sounds super simple but is really good, is a nice thick piece of chewy bread (like sourdough from the bakery) with peanut butter, halved frozen cherries (they have to be frozen!) and a sprinkle of salt. Sometimes I also add some pumpkin seeds for a little crunch! 🍒

Loving the cool wolf moon t-shirt and the eagle one; giving off major dad vibes

[fanofpink]

Seeing the muffins i couldn't agree more for it being simple. I will make muffins for breakfast and sometimes eat on the go. Even my brother who doesn't eat breakfast will eat them if already made. He's quite lazy lol.

I was a weekend vegan for four years. My ex was a vegetarian and I’m lactose intolerant and with our work schedule being so similar, and living 90 minutes from one another, we could only see each other on weekends. I subscribed to your channel for meal ideas, but now, as a single guy, I can’t stop watching. Your voice is so soothing, you could narrate a book and I’d listen all the way through. Your taste in music is on point. And the whole vibe of the channel is just so chill and relaxing. I work in a pretty high stress environment with an extremely high turnover rate, though I’ve kept the job for 9 years now. And these videos always keep me grounded. I don’t know what else to say, but keep on doing your thing, Mina and I’ll always stay a loyal viewer. ✌️😊

Breakfast is one of the hardest meals for me to come up with when I meal prep for the week, as it has to be quick and easy to make but not repetitve/boring as it usually end up being porridge or toast for me, but the recipies in this video are a great variation. Thanks for the inspo!!

[ricoootinto]
