OMG I KEPT WONDERING WHY EVERYONE WAS ASKING IF I HAD A BROTHER HAHAHAHH. I was so confused but then remembered the tutoring story. I mean my “brother and sister” in the script, not my real life brother and sister. They were also actors 😆😆😆😆😆
“Sorry Donna, I’ve done that” 😂😂😂 love the relationship with your mom, so special 🥰 she’s probably so glad to have you close again!
Carolyn is a HOOT😆🤍
Michel, I’m alone the majority of the time, and can go for days without actually speaking to (or being in the presence of) another human being. (I mean, actually talking, not text or email, but honestly, sometimes I go days without any communication whatsoever.) Watching your videos feels like you’ve invited me into little glimpses of your life, and I don’t feel quite so alone. So thank you for the hard work that you do, for the beautiful, thoughtful content, for the wisdom and advice that you dispense, for the ups and downs that you share. You (and your family!) are appreciated more than you know. ❤️🙏🏻
This absolutely made my day. Love you so much, friend 🥰
@@MichelJanse : Right back atcha! 🥰
So sweet
Same feeling❤️
You can see just how incredibly proud your mom is of you by way she watches you while you’re talking to the camera. Your parents seem so sweet and down to earth, and I love that you have such a great relationship with them.
I don't think its wierd that you don't drink. My husband has never had a drink and he's 48. His dad was an alcoholic and he decided at a very young age that drinking was not for him. I do drink occasionally, but I never feel that great after, even if it's just a glass of wine. I totally agree about the food too. I would much rather eat more food than have a drink. 100%.
I love that you went to the movies alone. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, but proving it to yourself is important ❤
LOVE THAT🥰
I know you say you’re very “type A” 😊, but I just want to mention how proud I am of you for loosening up on your grip with emails and work and structure and allowing more time for yourself to live. (subscribed for about 3 years now so I’ve def seen this transition). I know this season is hard and bittersweet (I’ve been in your shoes), but, coming from someone who is years out of that season, the growth you will witness in yourself after a few years you will genuinely cry at how thankful you are for the way you’re life ended up. Life has a funny way of tearing us apart and molding us into someone we are so thankful to be and wouldn’t have ever met this future version of you without heartbreak and losses. Then you will be listening to “Feeling Myself” everyday. 😎😎 ☀️ ☀️
I have really loved being a bit more “carefree” about some things. I think it has helped my stress immensely, therefore my health 🥰 and the fact you have noticed means SO MUCH! 🥰🥰🥰
Love your thoughts on drinking! I'm in my late 30's and don't drink. Just don't need it, it's so expensive and definitely not healthy. My husband is the same. You have been through so much and if you haven't had the urge to drink, you should be ok! It doesn't make life go away. It makes you stronger dealing with problems without "help". 🙂
It's always nice to see your parents in the vlogs, they are so sweet. I love to see Max more often too. He's such a good dog.
Bet your mom is so glad you are SO close to your parents home, even though the circumstances weren’t ideal to get you there it’s great to be closer to FAMILY
I think family is so important! So I love the new content you’re putting out with your family!! Both of your parents seem so sweet and it’s great hearing their life-advice in some of your videos. It’s so nice seeing the support they give you too.
Going to movies by yourself is actually my fave! It's nice to be able to do everything in your own time without having to schedule with someone else, and to make dates with and for yourself. Austin also looks like a fun place to live. ❤
I always look forward to your vlogs! I drop everything I’m doing to watch ❤️
Also, I don’t drink either! And yes the throwing up thing is a real fear for me! And I don’t care for how drunk people act.
Michel, I also don’t drink. I’m so happy I found your channel. Going through similar things in my life right now as you are! Your authenticity is so refreshing.
Cheering you on ❤️
Michel, you just bring so much joy, comfort and light into your videos, I am a new subbie and just so look forward to your new ones! THANK YOU!
I love how often you have been posting! I watch your videos while I eat my meals/chores-it makes me feel like I’m surrounded by company!
You and your mom are adorable!! You guys are mother & daughter goals ❤️
Watching your vlogs is like a warm hug. I can't express what your videos and sharing have come to mean to me. Thank you for being such a friend to people you will never meet, but have come to care about you and your life. Love from Ottawa, Ontario. 💞
You've quickly become my favorite UA-camr...you're so genuine and raw. I appreciate you for that because it's so much more relatable than anything/anyone else I'm currently watching. I hope you know you have a community of people who support you and are rooting for you!
Your vlogs always make me so happy! I'm so proud of you for embracing your singleness/independence, being honest and vulnerable with us and trying new (scary) things! Also, you and your mom are just so genuine and sweet! ❤️
Michel you are absolutely positively killing it! I hope you’re seeing in yourself what we all see…you’re a kind, loving, thoughtful, beautiful woman and you should be so very proud of yourself. I’m proud of you! And your family just melts my heart. 💕💕💕
I’m a relatively new viewer. But I just wanted to say how much I love watching your vlogs. It’s like getting to be a fly on a wall on one of your friend’s lives. I love how honest you are and how you bring us along on your days. 💛
You are being so strong 💪🏻. You hanging out with your mom, so reminds me of my daughter and I. Keep smiling 🌸
Seeing you living your best life and trying new things and taking care of yourself in this hard time is so empowering. It makes me feel like we are strong women and we can overcome everything and come out on the other side doing good. Thank you, keep sharing and doing what you do.
What a beautiful sunday-treat starting the day with your video ✨
You and your Mom have such a beautiful relationship! I would absolutely love a podcast with your parents!
I am very proud of you for going to the movies by yourself. I lived in London for a while after my first breakup, since I didn’t know anyone at the beginning I frequently went to dinner, events, parties, classes etc. on my own. Although it was quite uncomfortable a lot of the times, most people I met during those ‚outings‘ where really impressed that I was brave enough to do those things on my own, I hope this helps making it feel less scary 💛
Made that same soup today, thought it was yummy too. I signed up for EveryPlate because of one of your videos and I enjoy trying out the new recipes - thank you for the recommendation! I’ve also seen movies on my own, and agree it’s not so bad. Kudos to you for continuing to go outside your comfort zone and rebuilding life again in your new city! You got this and we support you!
I started drinking at 27 (aka a year and a half ago). I already had all of my seven kids and I had just gotten my Master’s, my twins had just self-weaned so I tried it, I liked it and now I do the occasional Margarita. My point, you can do whatever makes you happy and fulfills you. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, as in actually hurts them, you do you! 💗
I seriously love this so much! Also, congrats on the Master’s, that is HUGE!
7 kids at 27??? You had like one a year?
@@lulaenparis No, I actually have two singletons, triplets and twins. I had my twins at 25 years old.
@@MichelJanse Thank you! I love your entire channel. You are such a bright light in this world. Wish you all the success in the world, you deserve it. 💗
Another wonderful vlog. I love that you are going out and enjoying yourself at the movies, I appreciate getting to watch you become more confident everyday. Your mom is pretty and so sweet.
Mom - "I overthink things but I still manage to mess them up." THIS IS ME. HA! Loved the vlog.
So proud of you girl!!!!!
Every video gives me more reasons to plan an Austin trip! My close friends and I love trips to random places just to check out the coffee, shopping, scenery, and food :)
I love that your Mom is one of your best friends!
I love the car game! I learned soooo much about your mom. My daughter is 16 and working toward moving to Europe for college and beyond. She's talked me into following her once I retire (early). You inspire me to see how full life truly can be.
I’ve been eating the same soup for 4 days now having ordered the 4-person meal. I put parmesan cheese after seeing your video and it brought it to a whole new level! Glad to see you having fun. Love you and your mom together!♥️
Love that you are stepping out of your comfort zone…. Keep it up💯. You and your mom are the best ….love seeing you together 💜💜💜💜
Love your Vlogs … you are looking happier and healthier than ever ❤️🙏 keep healing friend sending you all the well wishes ! Celebrating singleness is a beautiful process to be embraced! Your value is priceless ❤️🩹
Michel, things are super rough for me at the moment, I almost can't see the other side but I am so grateful to have found your channel. Seeing you navigate through grief and come out the other end, makes me realise things could get better for me. Thank you
Oh my gosh absolutely LOVE your Mom!!!!
I had no idea you were in My All American!! I absolutely LOVE that film. Such a heartfelt film! That’s so cool!
Way to go! So excited you went to the movies by your self! Also I don’t drink much if any at all because it tends to trigger migraines for me personally. Mocktaiks are totally having a moment all over the place.
You are your Mom are so sweet together!!
Sitting down and your vlog with a chai latte has become a Saturday afternoon routine for me… love you michel🥰
Hey Michel 🌼
So love I get to end my long day with vlog from you ~
Love watching your day, especially with your Mom 💛
Totally respect your healthy lifestyle 👏
Happiness and Joy Always 🤗
Thanks for the awesome Austin travel recommendations! 💜
And going to the movies alone is one of my favorite nostalgic pastimes, especially since the pandemic started.
Hello Michel, Love all of your videos, I truly appreciate how transparent and real you are, so authentically you. Your my friend in my head. I became a subscriber almost 6 months ago, seen every video already and I truly look forward to all of your videos!! Love how close you are with your family. Sending you love and blessings.
I’m so happy you’re here! 🥺🥰🤍
@@MichelJanse So glad to be a part of the circle of friends.
I have been loving the soup content!💕🍲🥣
I love your relationship with your mom. It reminds me of my relationship with my mom. 💜
Michel, I just ADORE you. It is so fun to see you exploring yourself and your life outside of a relationship. I have had so much fun watching your vlogs and I always look forward to your videos. You are making me consider starting sort of a self love/getting to know myself/etc youtube channel, but I'm not really sure where/how to start. Would you consider doing a video on getting started with youtube? Thanks for all you do and your vulnerability. I love your videos!
Love your videos so much you’re one of my main channels that I tune into. Love your content, realness, opinions, and more. Also, how was the hotel coffee date with your mom??
Max has been so talkative in your videos lately. I love it. ❤️
Omg! You look amazing girl! The body suit and light jeans were fire!!!!!!!
I did grad school at UT a zillion years ago and I miss Mozart's so much!! So nice to see it in your vlogs!
My heart sang when you said, "We don't have to answer emails on a Friday night." I am so happy for you, getting some rest and relaxation!
AWE! It’s definitely growth for me 🥰🥰
So proud of you. I look so forward to your videos.you are so strong and blossoming into your own person.and heck yes, I love going to movies alone, even if I don't have too
Good for you for living a nice, clean life!!!!!
Wow, I felt so weird because I too have a fear of throwing up and being around it and also don’t drink! I’m so glad you shared that ♥️ I am so grateful for all of your vlogs, you really do make us feel like friends and I love and adore you for it. You’re awesome ♥️
That soup looked really good, yum! I haven't been to the movies in such a long time, I think I'm going to do that for myself. Max looks like he is so soft and he's so stinking cute.
I love going to movies alone, so proud of you girl, you got this 😘
You go girl! You're very inspiring ❤
Love that you went to the movies on your own!!! Way to go♡♡♡ Just did this myself a few weeks ago after 20 years of marriage and separated for a year now from my husband. It made me realize how it's ok to be your own number one♡♡♡ Love the content. Your an inspiration to so many of us navigating this season of life♡♡♡
Your apartment looks so cozy.
I just want to toss out here that I really appreciate and value your willingness to be open about your personal life. I was with my ex for 3 1/2 years and it ended turbulently and your clogs really help me see things differently in a positive way and I just want to say thank you 😊
Love going to the movies by myself! Good for you!
A lot of people don’t have the self awareness to do things outside of their comfort zone, it’s one of the things that drew me to your channel 😉
You inspire me so much ❤️❤️
Yaas! Love solo movies too. Especially in Austin with Alamo Drafthouse!
I love seeing you and your mom together! My mom and I are so close too!! :) Loving your vlogs!
I also went and saw The 355 by myself and I had a total blast :D Was amazing, and I'm glad you liked it too!
Popcorn and Junior Mints! That's totally my go-to movie combo.
I have never been drunk. And people around me always think that is weird. The most I’ll have is like one every couple of months. Im glad that it is becoming a thing to not drink.
Yes!! Every time I tell people I have never been drunk it’s like mind boggling to them. I just don’t like the feeling of not being in full control of myself. I will have a drink every few months maybe if I’m out to a nice dinner or something and that’s plenty for me. Honestly I just really love water 😂 water is always my go to. Refreshing!
Omg everyplate is my jam! I LOVE them!
You can go to a craft store that does framing and have them cut you a new piece of glass for the shelf in the ikea cabinet (just take another shelf for them to use as a template). My husband broke one of our wedding lanterns and got a replacement piece cut and you could not tell a difference!
Love the length of your hair!!
Happy Saturday 🦋
I often see movies on my own , I love it!
So proud of you! Well done.
Just ordered my first box from every plate 😍 thanks so much!
Lovley to see you & your mum gorgeous place you visited 🥰
Congratulations on going to the movies on your own!! You are doing it girl!!! So proud of you 👍
I’d love to see you make a video about your favorite mock tail recipes! 😊
Hi, Michel and Happy Saturday!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀. Your mom is so amazing to cook with anything like a spaghetti pasta, chicken soup, potatoes, corn, muffins and even pizza with pepperoni (my favorite)!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. Also, you look super fantastic with the outfit of the day. Fabulous!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍
Love your mom, she’s so cute!
I don’t drink by choice. I have always been afraid of loosing control. I want to be aware of what is going on at all times and want to be able to react quickly if necessary. 😊 You and your mom are TOO cute together. 💕😊
Junior Mint & Popcorn and iconic duo
Totally agree, and love that there are fun mocktail options nowadays. I never had an interest in drinking alcoholic beverages and had fun times without. Don’t like the taste of most and it isn’t how I prefer to spend my money.
You are a brave woman to not only go to see a movie by yourself but also knowing that noone else bought tickets for that show!! Taking self defense classes I'd say is a fabulous idea!! I really enjoyed seeing you & your mom especially when the two of you were playing that question game 😁. Your mom rocks!! Have a wonderful day Michel 😊. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
i love your mom. shes so cool
A fellow soup lover here. ♥️🥣 Little trick with soup: eat around the edges of your bowl, it cools faster than the soup in the middle of the bowl.
Good for you for going to the movies solo! My three year old peeked at my screen as I was watching the part when you were in the theatre and she asked 'Is she scared?' And I told her maybe a little but she's very brave., ❤️
Hear me out. Michel goes on the bachelor and is so endearing and relatable she becomes a fan favorite and makes it at minimum to hometowns because we gotta see the fam on the bachelor too! She self eliminates before fantasy suites because girl has high standards and ain't going there. She shines on the women tell all and gains the most Instagram followers of any contestant of the season, on ATFR it's announced she's the next Bachelorette!!!!
I'd watch the heck outta that!
Why does participation in fantasy suites automatically mean that someone has low standards?
@@ChloeCookSings I’m sorry but I don’t see anywhere in her comment that she says fantasy suite participants have low standards. You’re reading too much into her comment. Her comment was obviously meant to let Michel know how much she is adored.
Yeah saying it’s because she has standards was poor wording. Contestants who participate in that do not have low standards, but I believe that comment was in reference to Michel being a Christian and was assuming she wouldn’t compromise her beliefs and values for the show (and yeah sure some contestants say they didn’t have sex in the suites, but even spending the night leaves room for rumours and a ruined reputation)
Aerie has some awesome cotton high wasted things that are ribbed. So cute!
Finally pinpointed who your mom looks like!! Jennifer Jason Leigh!!! 👌🏼❤️ Love y’all!
I visited Austin almost 3 years ago. I went to Mozarts. I found out I lost my mom while I was there. Seeing that footage makes me sad...but I also remember how calm and peaceful it was that day. It is so beautiful there. ❤
Love the realness of your vlogs! Could you list the songs you use in each vlog? They are always great.
Hi Michel! I wanted to say that I made your soup the other day and it was so good!
I love soup! I have it for breakfast sometimes!
Hey Michel,
I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy watching your Videos! I can relate to a lot of things you say, I hope you have nice Weekend!
Thank you for the Work you are doing🌸
Greetings from Germany ☕🌸
You're so inspiring. I'm going through a divorce at 22 and I'm working on doing things by myself, please do more of these solo date nights 💕
A good book I would recommend to you is the artists way! 💗
Great video. Thanks. We love you!
Omgosh your mom lol!! She sounds like I was. I was such a trouble maker with my friends. I do not drink either. I did when I was younger high school/college age. Honestly it makes me tired and gives me a headache. I don’t mind if others drink, I have my alcohol free go to drinks, which I think are even better without alcohol. Good job going to the movies. I love going to the movies by myself, it is so good to spend time and enjoy your own company. So excited to see your next vlog.
I understand completely! My hubby works in AK and is gone for 3 weeks at a time and my young adult kids come & go.
