Jordy's insights were so right. Sometimes we just want something light and fuzzy but we are always here for the messy bits too. You're doing great, girl.
I came here to say this exactly! The mix is great. I think it’s totally ‘real life’ that sometimes we all do ‘surface level’ things and that is ok and needed sometimes. Your ‘surface level’ food recommendations on some of your travels really made my trip to the US as a severely gluten intolerant person a more enjoyable thing. Never underestimate how much the less deep content can help someone.
You shouldn't feel like you've failed when you do the "easier" content. If you think of your relationship with your audience as a friendship, it makes sense that not every interaction is super deep and meaningful. Sometimes we're talking about life and hard things, sometimes we're doing hauls or bonding over how hard it is to be a human in a body. We're here for all of it.
I'm one of those that really just wants to watch someone really kind that makes their bed (and knows how to organize, and decorate, and dresses funky cool chic, and does simple, healthy makeup and food, etc. etc.) We'll watch you do 'surface level' stuff as much as you need to do that. Only go 'deep' if you feel like it! XO
We love you on every level, surface or deep. And heck YES to Jordy saying sometimes we just want to see someone kind who makes their bed. Just show up as you, as you are in that day, that’s why we’re here!
Jordy hit the nail on the head, I have a busy life with 3 kids and your videos are a beautiful escapism. You’re a genuine person with a kind heart, that’s rare online. Please, please don’t overthink your content, we love ALL of it! Xx
It wasn't meant to be weird, I just mean everyone should have someone in their life as kind, caring, thoughtful and supportive as Jordy. It doesn't have to be a romantic relationship.
Jordy is so right. We really just want to see someone kind who makes their bed. Deep or not, your videos give a sense of calm in an otherwise stressful day. I love the different vlogs you put out. Some days it’s a heart warming video, other times it’s more serious, but no matter what, please trust in yourself and know that whatever you are willing to share from your life, we are grateful for you. I am so thankful for you. Lots of love from Denmark❤️
Jordy was so right! Your honesty is so refreshing and you having anxiety makes me feel like it’s okay to have anxiety and to navigate mixed emotions. I’ll never stop watching your content, deep or what you consider surface level 💕
Jordy hit the nail on the head! I came across you during a very scary time in my life personally and medically. Watching you was and is a very peaceful wonderful escape. It felt like you were my friend who I couldn’t wait to “catch up with” with every vlog. Hang onto that guy! Jordy loves you and I hope you know your worth! You bring so much happiness to so many people!
Everyone needs balance. You are a great person and you owe yourself more space to take a step back whenever you need it. We stick around because you are a super kind, genuine human being that we enjoy watching... even the videos that aren't as vulnerable. You're doing great ❤
Jordy and you are such a radiant duo. I’m very thankful to have found your channel (full disclosure I found it from your divorce video when you went home to TX). You’re like a big sister I didn’t have and I instinctively felt proud and protective of your kind, genuine heart. And I of course have stayed on since to see you winning this season of life. I love what you said and I wanted to be one more voice in the comments to tell you you’re doing such a great job and we appreciate you in all the vulnerable times and just as much during the fun, easy going times/videos. Jordy is all of us when he said hey, sometimes we just want to see someone kind, who makes their bed haha. And I loved what he said at the end, “hey I love you, you’re doing a great job, this was a really great chat, I’m really proud of you”. We are too Michel, we are too.
I found your channel during the most difficult time of my life and even though I am old enough to be your mother, you inspired me so much. I had so many anxiety the past two years and I could relate to so many emotions that you were having. When you started to cry, I cried so hard with you. Thank you for your honesty and being true, it makes me feel not so alone in this crazy world. You are doing a wonderful job. Lots of love and prayers from South Africa 🇿🇦
You're a human being, we have complex multifaceted emotions that change constantly. It's OK to want to be fun and light-hearted and to be more introspective and contemplative at times.. but Jordy hit the nail on the head, I enjoy watching a good, kind person, doing whatever really, the content doesn't matter as much as the intention behind it. Well done!!
Jordy is great. I feel like based on what he said I wanted to share why I watch your channel. You feel safe. You don’t shy away from reality and the fact that life is hard. You are pretty fancy, but you’re not a snob or unkind. You are fun, and you find joy in small and big things. It’s neat to see you navigate life and be truly excited by the little things. Thanks for sharing so much with us ❤ I’m watching this video on a pretty emotionally “low” day & felt less alone when you shared.
Michel, I literally wanted to cry with that segment. I’m really glad you’re with someone who listens and validates your emotions. Whether it’s a haul, glow up, video about Austin, a vlog or a car chat the ones who love you are here for it all. It’s real, sometimes you don’t have the capacity to pour out your heart and that’s okay. We all have times and moments like that. Sending hugs. We love you ❤
Jordy is such a sweetheart and he’s is so right. You haven’t failed if you do light and fun content , I found your channel through a fun video and stuck around because I love you and your content. We’re here for the light content and the deep content and everything in between
Jordy’s words are so on point😭🫶🏻 I love watching your vlogs Michel because they are the most genuine and they bring so much peace to my very challenging days as a first time mom who barely has time for self-care, and I want to say that I enjoy using products you love because even that makes me feel more human again. Thank you for being you! 🫶🏻
I shed tears when Jordy loved on you so well. I am so happy that you have found someone so kind. His encouragements were so right! Your videos are the first ones I go to bc you are so peaceful and kind and I wanna be like you, Michel. You have met so many challenges head on and we all can see you conquering them- even in a haul or glow-up video.
We love ALL your vlogs- raw emotion or fun glow ups!! IMHO…I feel like you’re being honest all the time- maybe you just decide to share more rawness in some and in others you don’t and that is OKAY! Jordy is so right about the simplicity of why people love you. Your vlogs are my very favorite!
Only share what you feel led to share! I know it’s your job but I can honestly say I love watching your vlogs. You content reaches further than you think; across cultures, ethnicities, and age groups. I am a 46 year old, African American pastor. I love that I can tune out of my own world from time to time and enjoy life through the lense of someone else completely different from myself. I will continue to pray for your success and just continue to live and enjoy your life! It’s too short not to! ❤️❤️❤️
Jordy is so right!!! I honestly find myself watching more of your lighthearted fun videos because it helps me when I’m not wanting to think or feel all of my own negative things. I think you do a great job of being honest, transparent and real naturally in all of your videos which is why I love your channel! ❤
I personally love the mix of what you share online, because Jordy is absolutely right. I like to call it "cotton candy for your brain" type content, but I love the hauls and the clothing try ons, making your bed, or a video where you're decorating your apartment, because sometimes we just want to enjoy something simple and sweet, but the emotions, the vulnerability and the honest are always welcome when you feel like sharing it. Not every video has to be deep, meaningful, or groundbreaking, because that is SO hard to maintain three times a week, or even just once a week. The simple, silly, and the mundane are great too because that's all part of life. We have peaks and valleys, and mostly, the time in-between those extremes. I always look forward to your videos, regardless of the topic. You're doing great, and thanks for taking us along for the ride 🧡
😭 We love you Michel! & Jordy hit the nail on the head!! Remember this is a community of friends, that YOU BUILT. We're here for YOU. If that means it's what you call "surface level" that's great, just as it's great if you're feeling vulnerable & you share it with us. You're loved. & you're a whole human. We all have ebs & flows in the day to day. And it's more than okay, it's beautiful. Because it's part of the human experience. Like Jordy said- you're doing great & I'm so proud of you. 🖤
I love all of the different types of content you make, Michel. Most of us use UA-cam as a distractive outlet to get away from our daily struggles. No matter what you post or how “surface level” some piece of content may be, we will watch them all the same and love being alongside you through this time in your life. You truly become apart of a UA-camrs friends and family through their content. As your friend and viewer I want you to know that it is okay to have rough days, where life just feels so challenging. Not everyone can feel 100% 24/7 even if you’re in charge of what gets posted.
Jordy is so right on. Michel you are so hard on yourself and you have to give yourself the same grace you so easily give to everyone else. Thank you for all the videos glow ups, making your bed, hauls, and the vlogs. Focus on what is right for you. The real ones will be here no matter what. ❤
I agree with Jordy, we come here to watch you because it's something to take our minds off the day to day stuff. You are genuine and fantastic, we all have days we want to close off the world and not give 💯 of what we are feeling. We don't expect you to give us every aspect of what you are feeling or doing or thinking. You have a life and deserve to be able to share only what you want too. We are here to see you for who you are no matter what stage of life you are in. I've learned so much from you and your family that I've been able to take to heart and apply to my life. I for one am thankful for you!
Sometimes insecurity lurks beneath a surface and pops up at odd times. I too have weird moments of anxiety. So don’t feel like your alone. Try to see it for what it is. If you can’t figure it out take a nap!! Your a great gal doing great things. ❤
Something I have learned that has been so helpful in life is the idea of having “both.” For so long, I thought I had a “this or that” mentality. And I still struggle with that, but the difference is, I remind myself that I can be grateful and still be anxious. I can be happy yet still feel some sadness. I can feel overwhelmed and also feel like I have nothing to give. And Michel, you can have both too. You can have the surface level and the depth. Both things can exist, both things can live on your channel. Because you’re human. And you’re doing the best you can. ❤️
Aw that chat between you and jordy was so sweet, you guys are both such good communicators and it’s so lovely to watch. Your videos always do bring value regardless of the content, because it creates a calm little space for people to escape to. ❤️ Also, the people who say that you “follow him around” are clearly forgetting you are a human being capable of making your own decisions, that likes traveling and spending time with your partner. Don’t let ‘em bring you down!
Girly I just want you to know that we’re here for whatever Michel you’re able to bring… and truly those who aren’t, don’t matter, you make so many of us so happy❤️ You have become my friend and i’m proud to watch your journey and you become the best version of yourself! Happy to be here with you🥰
You're such a beautiful soul. I'm here for the ups and downs. The emotional and the surface level, seeing someone else make their bed and tip their friends gives me the warm fuzzies. The growth over the last 2 years has been so aspirational for me. I'm recognizing some habits in my life that need revamping and seeing your smile reminds me that change is possible and i WILL survive the uncomfortable parts. BTW when you said ILY after the chat with Jordy, I had tears spring up that I didn't know were there, it's like I heard you say it and could feel just how real and truly deeply you love and are loved
His advice just hit deep to my core!! That is exactly why I watch you! All of what he said!! Yes I love you going deep but I love your travel vlogs and you showing your interest and try on keep and return videos. I just love you and the way you do your videos.
Exactly what Jordy said! ❤ I have anxiety and depression. You’re one of my favorites to watch on tough days because you’re cozy and peaceful! Hugs to you!
Michel and Jordy, you’re both beautiful people and lovely together. I found Michel’s videos when the pandemic hit our nation and have followed you through your journey. You have such an amazing family and you seem to have always had a very mature and level headed way of thinking and do such a great job articulating your life story. I see the blessing that came out of your marriage ending…God sent you Jordy. ❤️ This video brought tears to my eyes to see all that you face daily with your auto immune issues yet you are strong and you fight through it. The way Jordy supports and comforts you touched my heart. Michel, you are a beautiful soul, keep shining. Jordy, you too, and love your voice and music. Don’t let each other go, this love is rare! ❤
Seeing you be vulnerable and honest made me feel more connected to you and I think it’s easier for you to do when Jordy is around which I think is a sign that your in a healthy relationship. ❤ I find value in your get ready with me, cleaning and other “surface level” videos as well as your deeper ones.
"surface level" time with someone genuine and kind is still meaningful. Being light isn't a failure. Fun/ not-so-emotional time with a good friend is so nurturing and our time with you isn't any different
Jordy is right! Sometimes we just want to watch something peaceful, kind and light hearted. You are that person and you’re so down to earth and real. No matter what content you put out, we look forward to it and we love you! Don’t feel that you are being selfish.
Your content is lovely. It feels like “talking” to a friend. No need to always go deep. Sharing your health struggles and yet seeing you do so many things is very encouraging. Seeing you in a happy relationship after such an abusive one is encouraging, too. I am actually invested in your journey even though I only know you through videos. Truthfully, I get anxious when you are sick. And I worry about your heart being broken again (no real reason). Probably, because I am older and have experienced sad times. I don’t want such a sweet soul to be any thing but happy.
Jordy is correct. Michel I am a mother of two teenage boys, I am 38, and currently been going through health issues including autoimmune testing. I absolutely enjoy your authentic self. Although we have never met in person I genuinely feel like your my friend. Your followers are here because we enjoy hanging out with you. ❤
I just wanted to say I love your vulnerability I haven’t been feeling well health wise and it does make me anxious but when I watch your videos it makes me feel okay knowing I’m not the only one who feels like this.
I love watching because I work from home and am pretty isolated. Watching someone going about their day helps my day-to-day loneliness. I love vloggers who just do causal things like target shopping, laundry, cooking, shopping, etc. 😊 I loved the glow up video by the way!
I think that the people who follow you respect much what you do and connect with you because your honesty shines through. We are humans, and emotions are a part of us. Hiding them or just faking them will eventually hurt us. That is why we appreciate you because you are courageous, honest, and a kind person who is true to herself, and it's awesome that you share that with us.
"Thank You" for your honest chat, feeling anxious & not well really sucks in life with autoimmune or without too I would guess. I really enjoyed seeing the Duke Gardens. When I was young my father had a lung disease & spent weeks in Duke several times a year. My mother would take us to see the gardens to help us all relax a little & unwind from all the stress of having a parent that was never well. I really enjoy your videos, Jordy is so sweet, kind & understanding. I have a daughter that is 30, she just got out of a very abuse relationship, my hopes are that she finds someone that kind too. ❣
It is really honorable and shows how great you are at your job that you actually think about bringing value to your viewers. In my opinion, that is really great and necessary o succeed long term. At the same time I don't think value always means the same and definitely not only sharing feelings and talking about something deep and vulnerable. Sometimes it brings value to be distracted, see something beautiful, consume something calming etc.
I'm always a silent (and loving!!) viewer of yours but I feel compelled to share... My husband and I moved to Durham almost 2 years ago from Colorado and it was a really, really hard life change for me - leaving my family, friends, and everything I had ever known. I struggled for a really long time (and sometimes still do) to appreciate and see the beauty around me. It was SO cool and lovely to see where I live through someone else's eyes. This vlog was a gift
I love how you balance out your weeks and never once do I feel like I expect more out of you. I feel your feelings right alongside you and love how real you keep it. Keep being you!!
I love watching everything!! Everything!! If you want to be vulnerable and open up about yourself wonderful I’m here for you. If you want to have fun vlogs, wonderful I’m here for YOU! You are a wonderful person. I’m here for all of it!
I appreciate the openness and vulnerability you have and share with us. It's quite refreshing to see, and I thank you for that. Also, loved this vlog, the venue was so cool! All the best, Seilah :)
Had to come and comment on this video as it brought me to tears! I so appreciate the thought and effort you give to your work and Jordy is right we come to share with someone who feels like we do (and also because we want to watch someone kind make their bed 😊) but it’s like a friendship… sometimes me and my bestie want to talk about life and being single in our thirties, health issues, our emotional journeys etc. and sometimes we want to talk about Love is Blind and makeup and skincare. I think you have an incredible balance on your channel and all I ask is you honour your heart and your journey. We will be there for the deepest car chats and the fun glow up/haul videos because of your sweet soul! Also shout out to Jordy for being such a sweetheart and just listening and being supportive. A green flag man right there!
Michel, you are just so darn sweet and cute. Even when you don't feel well, you are thinking about others. God bless you and Jordy. I hope you find healing and calm. Ill pray for you. You are a doll.
I love ALL your content. Literally you can talk about anything, do anything, I watch it all because it just makes me feel good and happy and learn so much! We just adore you and are here for all your content :)
You are doing a great job! I’ve been following you for years, and your content is always something I look forward too ❤ However you show up every day is beautiful and valued. Take care!
Jordy hit it on the nose! I love your deep deep convos---but there is something so genuine about you having an "easier" day. I have a very stress-filled life, and your glow up video made me hit pause and I did it too. You make my stress disappear for the time I'm tuned into you... Keep doing what your doing- YOU are a REAL person, with real emotions- and Michel, we love you and are here for all of you.
I just found your channel this week and have been binging your videos. You are such a calm peaceful part of my oh so chaotic world. Surface level or deep you are beautiful and amazing. Do what is most healthy for you and we will continue on with you.
Dont overthink all of this!! I love the simple and the deep. Content is really just checking out what you are doing and going along for the ride...its that simple. Do what you want...its what makes your channel YOURS!!❤
You got this!! I have days when i cry and have no idea where it has come from. It healthy to have a good cry. Jordy is a lovely caring person. Go with your emotions and dont fight them. ❤ 💕 xx
I love how Jordy kept looking into your eyes while you were pouring out your heart. Please just be you and do you, we will watch you no matter what! Much love and blessings!
Jordy nailed it. I found your video at a rough time in my life. Watching your videos soothes my anxiety and gives me hope for my future. As a side note, Jordy is good people. His momma raised him right.
I'm crying with you right now. You're much like me, I'm hard on myself too. But I think you are doing an amazing job. You are here by your own choice and YOU get to set the rules/boundaries for this channel. Staying genuine and choosing when and how is YOUR choice. Those who truly love you will be here through all the seasons. You got this girlie. Sending you all the hugs!!!
Yes to everything Jordy said. I was just thinking before you ever said anything about being anxious etc, how fortunate you are to be in this season of your life; to be able to pick up and go, see new places and experience new things. How fun! If not now, when? Now is the time girl. Such great memories you are making! Enjoy it!!!! ❤
First of...Jordy. You are such an amazing person! Appreciate how great of a person you are. Love your music, but love the person you are too! Michel..You are doing great!! Be YOU and don't feel pressured in doing something or saying something you don't stand and believe in. We are all here because we love YOU as a genuine person. You inspire many ppl (me🙋♀️). Who cares what ppl think of you!! There will always be that one troll that ruins the ride for everyone lol. Big hug girl!
We all have these feelings at different times in our lives…you are not alone! It is up to you what you want to share and not share! We are just following along but you are the driver of your life! Loved the gardens! ❤
Thanks for sharing your heart girl:) I think a beautiful thing about life and sharing life is that there are so many dimensions to it. Some is light, some is deep, some is emotional, some is silly, but all of those things can encompass depth and realness and life if it’s coming from a place of authenticity. A part of your real life is wanting to do fun little things sometimes (cause let’s face it we all want to do that sometimes!) and that doesn’t have to mean surface level…because it’s authentic and brings you joy! Another beautiful thing about emotions is that they can exist at the same time. joy and grief, light and depth. It’s ok to lean into light and airy sometimes too! we love to see that side of you! And you’re wonderful at you’re job and it’s so obvious the thought and intention you put into ALL of your content.
Please don’t be too hard on yourself. I would enjoy watching you do just about anything! We are all surface sometimes and deep others. I think the fact that you were not feeling great did not help and emotions overflow. I am so glad you have Jordy in your life. What a kind, sweet (and handsome) soul!
"someone kind who makes their bed" 😅😂 that really cracked me up and is 100% true. When it's surface level vids, I still enjoy them just as much as deeper ones. You aren't failing. I love the variety and I think plenty others do too.
Well done you Michel. Don’t pretend be you. Keep what you need and want to keep to yourself. Jordy is such a great support. What understanding and lovely words. No pressure but so great to have that as a supporter of you finding you xx
I’ve been watching you since the beginning girl and I actually LOVED the videos that were more silly lighthearted and surface level. Not everything NEEDS to be a thing or be shared. There’s a lot of emotions out in the world right now and sometimes maybe too many people being vulnerable and sharing. We all can’t take on that many feelings all the time so 100% take breaks and be so much more gentle with yourself :)
As someone who has been blogging for 12 years, I can relate to the struggle with content that is authentic and vulnerable vs surface level or “fluff.” I believe it helps to think of content creation like any relationship. Sometimes you have deep, heartfelt conversations, and sometimes you go get your nails done. It’s a balance. So give yourself an abundance of grace. Trust your instincts, that still voice inside to guide you.
Please don’t ever feel like you’re a failure. You are my favorite UA-camr ever and with all the noise in the world, just show us whatever makes you happy. Love you Michel! You always make my day and keep being a genuine human!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
You do a great job and when your not feeling well sometimes that’s when you can feel more emotionally vulnerable, I know that’s how my mama and myself get. You don’t have to worry though what or how much content you put out for us to see, we watch whatever you have to say or show and we’re good. I like that Jordy has your back and cares so much for you, that’s a great thing Michel God’s blessed you with something you deserved in a relationship and he blessed you with a good hearted soul as he also blessed Jordy with a good relationship with a great person with a good hearted soul as well. Wishing you two a great time together and that you get to feeling better.🙏
I cannot speak for everyone but I do not tune in just for "deep" content. I enjoy whatever you put out. Honestly. It's YOU that I like. And what a great guy Jordy is - you lucky girl!!
I’m late to this but wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and adore your content!!!! You’re one of my main go to UA-camrs and I sometimes wait to watch so I can binge several “episodes” of your channel bc I know I’ll feel better and more inspired for doing it!! Also, one of the things I love about your channel is that there’s a mix of fun, self-care videos and deeper ones!!! Too much serious content wouldn’t make the ones you make as special if not! Don’t change anything with this success formula!
We are here for you Michel! It’s actually just nice seeing you happy. I found you when I was planning my wedding and my life has mirrored yours where I am now divorced. It’s just nice to see you happy, I’m happy too! I also blame you for me being obsessed with everlane now 😂😂😂. Thanks girlie! Take care of yourself
LOVE YOU
Jordy's insights were so right. Sometimes we just want something light and fuzzy but we are always here for the messy bits too. You're doing great, girl.
Your amazing and we appreciate you and your genuine relatability ❤
Awe thank you friend!!
Absolutely!
I came here to say this exactly! The mix is great. I think it’s totally ‘real life’ that sometimes we all do ‘surface level’ things and that is ok and needed sometimes.
Your ‘surface level’ food recommendations on some of your travels really made my trip to the US as a severely gluten intolerant person a more enjoyable thing. Never underestimate how much the less deep content can help someone.
@@MichelJanse hi🥰😍❤
You shouldn't feel like you've failed when you do the "easier" content. If you think of your relationship with your audience as a friendship, it makes sense that not every interaction is super deep and meaningful. Sometimes we're talking about life and hard things, sometimes we're doing hauls or bonding over how hard it is to be a human in a body. We're here for all of it.
You are so right friend thank you for this!!🤍🤍🫶🏼
This comment is everything! Well said ❤
This is such a brilliant view, I adore it. Thank you for sharing!
I love this comment! I never thought of it like this; it's very well said.
The way Jordy nurtured, held, and reassured you… was so pure! You needed him. 😭 FRIEND!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU
17:48 - "They just wanna see somebody kind, who makes their bed..." I love his thought process. He's so sweet to you!
@Jeannine ❤ came here to write this comment. Truer words could not have been said 🤍🛏️ 😘
I'm one of those that really just wants to watch someone really kind that makes their bed (and knows how to organize, and decorate, and dresses funky cool chic, and does simple, healthy makeup and food, etc. etc.) We'll watch you do 'surface level' stuff as much as you need to do that. Only go 'deep' if you feel like it! XO
We love you on every level, surface or deep. And heck YES to Jordy saying sometimes we just want to see someone kind who makes their bed. Just show up as you, as you are in that day, that’s why we’re here!
Jordy hit the nail on the head, I have a busy life with 3 kids and your videos are a beautiful escapism. You’re a genuine person with a kind heart, that’s rare online. Please, please don’t overthink your content, we love ALL of it! Xx
I firmly believe that everyone needs a Jordy in their lives. Friend, brother, significant other... whatever the role, everyone needs a Jordy.
Brother? That would be weird
Agree!!
It wasn't meant to be weird, I just mean everyone should have someone in their life as kind, caring, thoughtful and supportive as Jordy. It doesn't have to be a romantic relationship.
@@CarrieLemieux i understood what you meant. Didn’t feel brother was a weird suggestion. But even a male figure like Jordy is good to have.
I got what you meant Carrie and agree wholeheartedly!
Jordy is so right. We really just want to see someone kind who makes their bed.
Deep or not, your videos give a sense of calm in an otherwise stressful day. I love the different vlogs you put out. Some days it’s a heart warming video, other times it’s more serious, but no matter what, please trust in yourself and know that whatever you are willing to share from your life, we are grateful for you. I am so thankful for you. Lots of love from Denmark❤️
WHY IS IT that so many creators don't make their beds when they know they'll be filming?
Jordy was so right! Your honesty is so refreshing and you having anxiety makes me feel like it’s okay to have anxiety and to navigate mixed emotions. I’ll never stop watching your content, deep or what you consider surface level 💕
Jordy hit the nail on the head! I came across you during a very scary time in my life personally and medically. Watching you was and is a very peaceful wonderful escape. It felt like you were my friend who I couldn’t wait to “catch up with” with every vlog. Hang onto that guy! Jordy loves you and I hope you know your worth! You bring so much happiness to so many people!
Everyone needs balance. You are a great person and you owe yourself more space to take a step back whenever you need it. We stick around because you are a super kind, genuine human being that we enjoy watching... even the videos that aren't as vulnerable. You're doing great ❤
Jordy and you are such a radiant duo. I’m very thankful to have found your channel (full disclosure I found it from your divorce video when you went home to TX). You’re like a big sister I didn’t have and I instinctively felt proud and protective of your kind, genuine heart. And I of course have stayed on since to see you winning this season of life. I love what you said and I wanted to be one more voice in the comments to tell you you’re doing such a great job and we appreciate you in all the vulnerable times and just as much during the fun, easy going times/videos. Jordy is all of us when he said hey, sometimes we just want to see someone kind, who makes their bed haha. And I loved what he said at the end, “hey I love you, you’re doing a great job, this was a really great chat, I’m really proud of you”. We are too Michel, we are too.
I found your channel during the most difficult time of my life and even though I am old enough to be your mother, you inspired me so much. I had so many anxiety the past two years and I could relate to so many emotions that you were having. When you started to cry, I cried so hard with you. Thank you for your honesty and being true, it makes me feel not so alone in this crazy world. You are doing a wonderful job. Lots of love and prayers from South Africa 🇿🇦
🇿🇦♥️
You're a human being, we have complex multifaceted emotions that change constantly. It's OK to want to be fun and light-hearted and to be more introspective and contemplative at times.. but Jordy hit the nail on the head, I enjoy watching a good, kind person, doing whatever really, the content doesn't matter as much as the intention behind it. Well done!!
Jordy is great. I feel like based on what he said I wanted to share why I watch your channel.
You feel safe. You don’t shy away from reality and the fact that life is hard. You are pretty fancy, but you’re not a snob or unkind. You are fun, and you find joy in small and big things. It’s neat to see you navigate life and be truly excited by the little things. Thanks for sharing so much with us ❤ I’m watching this video on a pretty emotionally “low” day & felt less alone when you shared.
Michel, I literally wanted to cry with that segment. I’m really glad you’re with someone who listens and validates your emotions. Whether it’s a haul, glow up, video about Austin, a vlog or a car chat the ones who love you are here for it all. It’s real, sometimes you don’t have the capacity to pour out your heart and that’s okay. We all have times and moments like that. Sending hugs. We love you ❤
Jordy is so kind, so glad you both found each other.💕
Jordy is such a sweetheart and he’s is so right. You haven’t failed if you do light and fun content , I found your channel through a fun video and stuck around because I love you and your content. We’re here for the light content and the deep content and everything in between
Jordy’s words are so on point😭🫶🏻 I love watching your vlogs Michel because they are the most genuine and they bring so much peace to my very challenging days as a first time mom who barely has time for self-care, and I want to say that I enjoy using products you love because even that makes me feel more human again. Thank you for being you! 🫶🏻
I shed tears when Jordy loved on you so well. I am so happy that you have found someone so kind. His encouragements were so right! Your videos are the first ones I go to bc you are so peaceful and kind and I wanna be like you, Michel. You have met so many challenges head on and we all can see you conquering them- even in a haul or glow-up video.
We love ALL your vlogs- raw emotion or fun glow ups!! IMHO…I feel like you’re being honest all the time- maybe you just decide to share more rawness in some and in others you don’t and that is OKAY! Jordy is so right about the simplicity of why people love you. Your vlogs are my very favorite!
Only share what you feel led to share! I know it’s your job but I can honestly say I love watching your vlogs. You content reaches further than you think; across cultures, ethnicities, and age groups. I am a 46 year old, African American pastor. I love that I can tune out of my own world from time to time and enjoy life through the lense of someone else completely different from myself. I will continue to pray for your success and just continue to live and enjoy your life! It’s too short not to! ❤️❤️❤️
I just appreciate all your content. This appreciation is for the time, effort and pure sweat that you give. Tireless effort and I’m grateful
Jordy is so right!!! I honestly find myself watching more of your lighthearted fun videos because it helps me when I’m not wanting to think or feel all of my own negative things. I think you do a great job of being honest, transparent and real naturally in all of your videos which is why I love your channel! ❤
I personally love the mix of what you share online, because Jordy is absolutely right. I like to call it "cotton candy for your brain" type content, but I love the hauls and the clothing try ons, making your bed, or a video where you're decorating your apartment, because sometimes we just want to enjoy something simple and sweet, but the emotions, the vulnerability and the honest are always welcome when you feel like sharing it. Not every video has to be deep, meaningful, or groundbreaking, because that is SO hard to maintain three times a week, or even just once a week. The simple, silly, and the mundane are great too because that's all part of life. We have peaks and valleys, and mostly, the time in-between those extremes. I always look forward to your videos, regardless of the topic. You're doing great, and thanks for taking us along for the ride 🧡
😭
We love you Michel! & Jordy hit the nail on the head!!
Remember this is a community of friends, that YOU BUILT. We're here for YOU. If that means it's what you call "surface level" that's great, just as it's great if you're feeling vulnerable & you share it with us. You're loved. & you're a whole human. We all have ebs & flows in the day to day. And it's more than okay, it's beautiful. Because it's part of the human experience.
Like Jordy said- you're doing great & I'm so proud of you. 🖤
Thank you for showing your vulnerable moments! You two are so amazing together!
I love all of the different types of content you make, Michel. Most of us use UA-cam as a distractive outlet to get away from our daily struggles. No matter what you post or how “surface level” some piece of content may be, we will watch them all the same and love being alongside you through this time in your life. You truly become apart of a UA-camrs friends and family through their content. As your friend and viewer I want you to know that it is okay to have rough days, where life just feels so challenging. Not everyone can feel 100% 24/7 even if you’re in charge of what gets posted.
Jordy is so right on. Michel you are so hard on yourself and you have to give yourself the same grace you so easily give to everyone else. Thank you for all the videos glow ups, making your bed, hauls, and the vlogs. Focus on what is right for you. The real ones will be here no matter what. ❤
I agree with Jordy, we come here to watch you because it's something to take our minds off the day to day stuff. You are genuine and fantastic, we all have days we want to close off the world and not give 💯 of what we are feeling. We don't expect you to give us every aspect of what you are feeling or doing or thinking. You have a life and deserve to be able to share only what you want too. We are here to see you for who you are no matter what stage of life you are in. I've learned so much from you and your family that I've been able to take to heart and apply to my life. I for one am thankful for you!
Sometimes insecurity lurks beneath a surface and pops up at odd times. I too have weird moments of anxiety. So don’t feel like your alone. Try to see it for what it is. If you can’t figure it out take a nap!! Your a great gal doing great things. ❤
Something I have learned that has been so helpful in life is the idea of having “both.” For so long, I thought I had a “this or that” mentality. And I still struggle with that, but the difference is, I remind myself that I can be grateful and still be anxious. I can be happy yet still feel some sadness. I can feel overwhelmed and also feel like I have nothing to give. And Michel, you can have both too. You can have the surface level and the depth. Both things can exist, both things can live on your channel. Because you’re human. And you’re doing the best you can. ❤️
Omgosh Jordy hit the nail on the head!!! I watch you to see you make your bed and be peaceful and organised. It inspires me
You have not failed anyone. We love whatever you share just as all your friends do. Stop doubting yourself, or worrying about any of this.
Aw that chat between you and jordy was so sweet, you guys are both such good communicators and it’s so lovely to watch. Your videos always do bring value regardless of the content, because it creates a calm little space for people to escape to. ❤️ Also, the people who say that you “follow him around” are clearly forgetting you are a human being capable of making your own decisions, that likes traveling and spending time with your partner. Don’t let ‘em bring you down!
Girly I just want you to know that we’re here for whatever Michel you’re able to bring… and truly those who aren’t, don’t matter, you make so many of us so happy❤️ You have become my friend and i’m proud to watch your journey and you become the best version of yourself! Happy to be here with you🥰
You're such a beautiful soul. I'm here for the ups and downs. The emotional and the surface level, seeing someone else make their bed and tip their friends gives me the warm fuzzies. The growth over the last 2 years has been so aspirational for me. I'm recognizing some habits in my life that need revamping and seeing your smile reminds me that change is possible and i WILL survive the uncomfortable parts. BTW when you said ILY after the chat with Jordy, I had tears spring up that I didn't know were there, it's like I heard you say it and could feel just how real and truly deeply you love and are loved
His advice just hit deep to my core!! That is exactly why I watch you! All of what he said!! Yes I love you going deep but I love your travel vlogs and you showing your interest and try on keep and return videos. I just love you and the way you do your videos.
Exactly what Jordy said! ❤ I have anxiety and depression. You’re one of my favorites to watch on tough days because you’re cozy and peaceful! Hugs to you!
Michel and Jordy, you’re both beautiful people and lovely together. I found Michel’s videos when the pandemic hit our nation and have followed you through your journey. You have such an amazing family and you seem to have always had a very mature and level headed way of thinking and do such a great job articulating your life story. I see the blessing that came out of your marriage ending…God sent you Jordy. ❤️
This video brought tears to my eyes to see all that you face daily with your auto immune issues yet you are strong and you fight through it. The way Jordy supports and comforts you touched my heart. Michel, you are a beautiful soul, keep shining.
Jordy, you too, and love your voice and music. Don’t let each other go, this love is rare! ❤
wow. got chills watching you open up to jordy and him just know exactly what to say. very special moment, thank you for sharing 💖
Seeing you be vulnerable and honest made me feel more connected to you and I think it’s easier for you to do when Jordy is around which I think is a sign that your in a healthy relationship. ❤ I find value in your get ready with me, cleaning and other “surface level” videos as well as your deeper ones.
"surface level" time with someone genuine and kind is still meaningful. Being light isn't a failure. Fun/ not-so-emotional time with a good friend is so nurturing and our time with you isn't any different
Jordy is right! Sometimes we just want to watch something peaceful, kind and light hearted. You are that person and you’re so down to earth and real. No matter what content you put out, we look forward to it and we love you! Don’t feel that you are being selfish.
Your content is lovely. It feels like “talking” to a friend. No need to always go deep. Sharing your health struggles and yet seeing you do so many things is very encouraging. Seeing you in a happy relationship after such an abusive one is encouraging, too. I am actually invested in your journey even though I only know you through videos. Truthfully, I get anxious when you are sick. And I worry about your heart being broken again (no real reason). Probably, because I am older and have experienced sad times. I don’t want such a sweet soul to be any thing but happy.
We all simply adore you! Deep, surface level, and everything in between. Thank you for always sharing your heart and showing up. ❤️
Jordy is adorable. And so supportive. He is a keeper.
Jordy is correct. Michel I am a mother of two teenage boys, I am 38, and currently been going through health issues including autoimmune testing.
I absolutely enjoy your authentic self. Although we have never met in person I genuinely feel like your my friend.
Your followers are here because we enjoy hanging out with you. ❤
You two are special, so soft, kind, wise and out of this world actually. Dont change
I just wanted to say I love your vulnerability I haven’t been feeling well health wise and it does make me anxious but when I watch your videos it makes me feel okay knowing I’m not the only one who feels like this.
Jordy🥺 what a blessing he is Michel 🤍 I'm so happy you found such a treasure.
I love watching because I work from home and am pretty isolated. Watching someone going about their day helps my day-to-day loneliness. I love vloggers who just do causal things like target shopping, laundry, cooking, shopping, etc. 😊 I loved the glow up video by the way!
I think that the people who follow you respect much what you do and connect with you because your honesty shines through. We are humans, and emotions are a part of us. Hiding them or just faking them will eventually hurt us. That is why we appreciate you because you are courageous, honest, and a kind person who is true to herself, and it's awesome that you share that with us.
"Thank You" for your honest chat, feeling anxious & not well really sucks in life with autoimmune or without too I would guess. I really enjoyed seeing the Duke Gardens. When I was young my father had a lung disease & spent weeks in Duke several times a year. My mother would take us to see the gardens to help us all relax a little & unwind from all the stress of having a parent that was never well. I really enjoy your videos, Jordy is so sweet, kind & understanding. I have a daughter that is 30, she just got out of a very abuse relationship, my hopes are that she finds someone that kind too. ❣
It is really honorable and shows how great you are at your job that you actually think about bringing value to your viewers. In my opinion, that is really great and necessary o succeed long term. At the same time I don't think value always means the same and definitely not only sharing feelings and talking about something deep and vulnerable. Sometimes it brings value to be distracted, see something beautiful, consume something calming etc.
as an OG fan ... im so happy for you watching the way he treats you makes us OG fans so happy!!! THank you for taking care of our girls heart
Michel...you & Jordy are so BLESSED to have each other...treasure the time you have together!!! Love you both, but GOD LOVES YOU MORE ❤❤❤
I'm always a silent (and loving!!) viewer of yours but I feel compelled to share... My husband and I moved to Durham almost 2 years ago from Colorado and it was a really, really hard life change for me - leaving my family, friends, and everything I had ever known. I struggled for a really long time (and sometimes still do) to appreciate and see the beauty around me. It was SO cool and lovely to see where I live through someone else's eyes. This vlog was a gift
I love how you balance out your weeks and never once do I feel like I expect more out of you. I feel your feelings right alongside you and love how real you keep it. Keep being you!!
I love watching everything!! Everything!! If you want to be vulnerable and open up about yourself wonderful I’m here for you. If you want to have fun vlogs, wonderful I’m here for YOU! You are a wonderful person. I’m here for all of it!
I appreciate the openness and vulnerability you have and share with us. It's quite refreshing to see, and I thank you for that. Also, loved this vlog, the venue was so cool! All the best, Seilah :)
Had to come and comment on this video as it brought me to tears! I so appreciate the thought and effort you give to your work and Jordy is right we come to share with someone who feels like we do (and also because we want to watch someone kind make their bed 😊) but it’s like a friendship… sometimes me and my bestie want to talk about life and being single in our thirties, health issues, our emotional journeys etc. and sometimes we want to talk about Love is Blind and makeup and skincare. I think you have an incredible balance on your channel and all I ask is you honour your heart and your journey. We will be there for the deepest car chats and the fun glow up/haul videos because of your sweet soul! Also shout out to Jordy for being such a sweetheart and just listening and being supportive. A green flag man right there!
Michel, you are just so darn sweet and cute. Even when you don't feel well, you are thinking about others. God bless you and Jordy. I hope you find healing and calm. Ill pray for you. You are a doll.
I love ALL your content. Literally you can talk about anything, do anything, I watch it all because it just makes me feel good and happy and learn so much! We just adore you and are here for all your content :)
You are doing a great job! I’ve been following you for years, and your content is always something I look forward too ❤ However you show up every day is beautiful and valued. Take care!
Jordy hit it on the nose! I love your deep deep convos---but there is something so genuine about you having an "easier" day. I have a very stress-filled life, and your glow up video made me hit pause and I did it too. You make my stress disappear for the time I'm tuned into you... Keep doing what your doing- YOU are a REAL person, with real emotions- and Michel, we love you and are here for all of you.
I just found your channel this week and have been binging your videos. You are such a calm peaceful part of my oh so chaotic world. Surface level or deep you are beautiful and amazing. Do what is most healthy for you and we will continue on with you.
Every time I see Jordy in your videos, I just love him more and more!!
Dont overthink all of this!! I love the simple and the deep. Content is really just checking out what you are doing and going along for the ride...its that simple. Do what you want...its what makes your channel YOURS!!❤
Your videos are always the perfect balance of deep and light. I agree with Jordy, you’re doing great! 🤍
You got this!! I have days when i cry and have no idea where it has come from. It healthy to have a good cry. Jordy is a lovely caring person. Go with your emotions and dont fight them. ❤ 💕 xx
I love how Jordy kept looking into your eyes while you were pouring out your heart. Please just be you and do you, we will watch you no matter what! Much love and blessings!
Jordy nailed it. I found your video at a rough time in my life. Watching your videos soothes my anxiety and gives me hope for my future. As a side note, Jordy is good people. His momma raised him right.
I'm crying with you right now. You're much like me, I'm hard on myself too. But I think you are doing an amazing job. You are here by your own choice and YOU get to set the rules/boundaries for this channel. Staying genuine and choosing when and how is YOUR choice. Those who truly love you will be here through all the seasons. You got this girlie. Sending you all the hugs!!!
You guys deserve each other for your kind hearts and beautiful energies. Xoxo
Yes to everything Jordy said. I was just thinking before you ever said anything about being anxious etc, how fortunate you are to be in this season of your life; to be able to pick up and go, see new places and experience new things. How fun! If not now, when? Now is the time girl. Such great memories you are making! Enjoy it!!!! ❤
Hi Michel! I love ya girl and hearing you sad breaks my heart. You only share what you want and know you owe us nothing. Take care and love the video!
First of...Jordy.
You are such an amazing person! Appreciate how great of a person you are. Love your music, but love the person you are too!
Michel..You are doing great!!
Be YOU and don't feel pressured in doing something or saying something you don't stand and believe in.
We are all here because we love YOU as a genuine person. You inspire many ppl (me🙋♀️).
Who cares what ppl think of you!! There will always be that one troll that ruins the ride for everyone lol.
Big hug girl!
So nice to see you so loved and supported by your partner. He just exudes warmth and kindness.
The look on Jordys face when you were tearing up shows just how much he adores you Michel! ❤
I have been eyeing those sandals for weeeeks! I just ordered using your code/link, so excited!
jordy is an incredible person! im glad he's with you - we all deserve someone like jordy in our lives (romantic or not)
Jordy’s insights were right, but don’t over think it. You have soared and succeeded so just keep doing what you feel like doing. You are rocking it!
We all have these feelings at different times in our lives…you are not alone! It is up to you what you want to share and not share! We are just following along but you are the driver of your life! Loved the gardens! ❤
You are always so soothing and peaceful to watch. Please know there is no pressure to be something you aren't on a particular day.
Thanks for sharing your heart girl:) I think a beautiful thing about life and sharing life is that there are so many dimensions to it. Some is light, some is deep, some is emotional, some is silly, but all of those things can encompass depth and realness and life if it’s coming from a place of authenticity. A part of your real life is wanting to do fun little things sometimes (cause let’s face it we all want to do that sometimes!) and that doesn’t have to mean surface level…because it’s authentic and brings you joy! Another beautiful thing about emotions is that they can exist at the same time. joy and grief, light and depth. It’s ok to lean into light and airy sometimes too! we love to see that side of you! And you’re wonderful at you’re job and it’s so obvious the thought and intention you put into ALL of your content.
Please don’t be too hard on yourself. I would enjoy watching you do just about anything! We are all surface sometimes and deep others. I think the fact that you were not feeling great did not help and emotions overflow. I am so glad you have Jordy in your life. What a kind, sweet (and handsome) soul!
"someone kind who makes their bed" 😅😂 that really cracked me up and is 100% true. When it's surface level vids, I still enjoy them just as much as deeper ones. You aren't failing. I love the variety and I think plenty others do too.
Well done you Michel. Don’t pretend be you. Keep what you need and want to keep to yourself. Jordy is such a great support. What understanding and lovely words. No pressure but so great to have that as a supporter of you finding you xx
I’ve been watching you since the beginning girl and I actually LOVED the videos that were more silly lighthearted and surface level. Not everything NEEDS to be a thing or be shared. There’s a lot of emotions out in the world right now and sometimes maybe too many people being vulnerable and sharing. We all can’t take on that many feelings all the time so 100% take breaks and be so much more gentle with yourself :)
Jordy is so right. Things/Times can be so hard sometimes. A light/lighthearted video is just what we need sometime. Just be yourself-always!
You don’t owe us anything. You show up and give what you can. It doesn’t matter surface or deep we love your videos no matter what 💕
As someone who has been blogging for 12 years, I can relate to the struggle with content that is authentic and vulnerable vs surface level or “fluff.”
I believe it helps to think of content creation like any relationship. Sometimes you have deep, heartfelt conversations, and sometimes you go get your nails done. It’s a balance.
So give yourself an abundance of grace. Trust your instincts, that still voice inside to guide you.
Please don’t ever feel like you’re a failure. You are my favorite UA-camr ever and with all the noise in the world, just show us whatever makes you happy. Love you Michel! You always make my day and keep being a genuine human!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
You do a great job and when your not feeling well sometimes that’s when you can feel more emotionally vulnerable, I know that’s how my mama and myself get. You don’t have to worry though what or how much content you put out for us to see, we watch whatever you have to say or show and we’re good. I like that Jordy has your back and cares so much for you, that’s a great thing Michel God’s blessed you with something you deserved in a relationship and he blessed you with a good hearted soul as he also blessed Jordy with a good relationship with a great person with a good hearted soul as well. Wishing you two a great time together and that you get to feeling better.🙏
I cannot speak for everyone but I do not tune in just for "deep" content. I enjoy whatever you put out. Honestly. It's YOU that I like. And what a great guy Jordy is - you lucky girl!!
I’m late to this but wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and adore your content!!!! You’re one of my main go to UA-camrs and I sometimes wait to watch so I can binge several “episodes” of your channel bc I know I’ll feel better and more inspired for doing it!! Also, one of the things I love about your channel is that there’s a mix of fun, self-care videos and deeper ones!!! Too much serious content wouldn’t make the ones you make as special if not! Don’t change anything with this success formula!
We are here for you Michel! It’s actually just nice seeing you happy. I found you when I was planning my wedding and my life has mirrored yours where I am now divorced. It’s just nice to see you happy, I’m happy too! I also blame you for me being obsessed with everlane now 😂😂😂. Thanks girlie! Take care of yourself
