I would love to see a finance video like you talked about! Im getting married soon and would love to hear about merging accounts and saving after a big event like a wedding!
For the knats, use a small glass, put in some vinegar or apple cider vinegar, put a piece of plastic wrap over tm top and poke a few holes! They go in but can’t get out!
When it comes to gnats you may want to check your plants. I've found that moist soil can attract them (recently had this issue with snake plant after wondering for weeks why gnats were in the house). Setting the plant outside for a few days to let the soil dry out and then just being more sparing with my watering helped a ton :)
Please continue sharing about your hair journey! I’m in a similar spot, I’ve always had really thick hair and over the last year have noticed it’s significantly thinner and it’s honestly really freaking me out, so I can relate to what you’re going through.
I can't remember if you've already done/spoken about this, but have you been to a dermatologist regarding your hair shedding? They may have some insight on if it's related to a scalp/skin condition. I have also been experiencing a long-term medical/health mystery, so I understand the confusion, frustration and sadness. You are not alone!
I’ve been dealing with hair loss from hormone imbalance recently, as well as skin issues, low energy, and terrible periods. You’re not alone, thank you for sharing your experience 💓💓💓
Make sure the gnats aren’t come from your plant(s) soil! I had fungus gnats in my beloved pilea and I ended up having to throw it away because I tried to get rid of them for 2 months and it only got worse (it was BAD). But if you just blow on the soil they’ll move around and you’ll see them (if that’s what you have).
For the fruit flies: pour some vinegar into a glass with a small piece of sweet fruit inside and leave it on your counter. It should help attract the flies.
We had HORRIBLE fruit flies last year and we put out a mason jar with apple cider vinegar (top covered with cling wrap with holes poked + secured with a rubber band) and it did a great job getting rid of them!
For the fruit flies, the fly ribbons are what have worked best for us. I've heard some say soapy water in a dish, they land and cant get out but I didnt have a ton of luck with that
Have you been tested for PCOS? Very common hormonal/metabolic disorder. It causes my hair to shed like crazy. Other symptoms are irregular periods and acne. All the best xx
I've also been dealing with hair loss and I'm not sure of why and it can be more difficult for me at times cause I naturally already have some bald spots in the front of my head. You talking about your hair loss has really helped me not feel too insecure, so thank you for your vulnerability !
Buy a purple uv bug zapper light, plug it in to a wall outlet timre (like christmas lights) and then have it go on in the kitchen during the night while you are asleep
Thank you for opening up about your hair loss. I never notice it but know we tend to focus on our perceived 'flaws' more than what we like about ourselves. You are beautiful inside and out 💝 Hope you have an amazing birthday!!
You can complain about whatever you want/need :) you are so sweet 🙏 know that it doesn't show at all that your hair is thinner if it could cheer you a bit. I think you are marvellous on many ways dear Michelle. Have a beautiful day 😊
The gnats might be coming from your plants I just repotted one of mine because the gnats were all over it but now it’s better. The best way I’ve found to trap gnats is fill a cup with apple cider vinegar. They’re attracted to it so they’ll fly in and won’t be able to get out. It works even better if you get a glue trap and cut a hole in it to put over the cup. Good luck I know how annoying they can be. Love you and your content ♥️
i've never commented but even though you're going through insecurities with your hair, you are still so beautiful! i've been watching you since you were enrolled in highschool/college. you're inspiring Michelle :)
Michelle plz make a video about what things we have to keep in our mind before getting a golden retriever. And also about what thing we need to get before bringing him/her home❤❤❤
Thank you for talking about hair loss. I have been experiencing some of that as well and it is hard to go through. I appreciate you discussing it more than you know! Also - You are so beautiful and I absolutely love your channel 🙏🏼💕 God bless you 💕
Aw I really feel for you about your hair loss. It’s so hard to deal with a condition that lacks a clear explanation - I experienced a random chronic injury and no one could explain why it happened! Be sure to explore non-western treatments, too, if they resonate with you. Sending all the love 💛
Thank you so much for sharing so honestly and vulnerably Michelle ❤️ I am in a season of very low confidence with my body image and it was just so encouraging to hear you speak on your own struggle with hair loss. So thankful for you and your content!!
Just wanted to let you know that right before you started talking about hair loss, I was thinking about how pretty it looked. Sending you lots of good vibes. Feeling insecure is never fun. ❤️
Your vlogs are so mellow and easy to watch + motivating! I think you and your family have great values and you're so beautiful inside and out! Watching your videos brings me peace :) Cash is adorable! We also have a golden retriever and he's super cuddly too! Lol. Btw I love your apartment, your living room windows are to die for! 😍
Yes! I would looove to see a merging finance/investment video when getting married - I’m getting married this September and I don’t see a lot of people talk about this topic…
For the fruit flies you can try filling the sink with water and soap helps better than buying products, and check your plants it could be that they got plage. Thats whats happened to my plants!!! I had to repot them with new dirt and buy fertilizer.🪴
For the gnats: leftover pickle juice, some dish soap and water, and a banana slice. I combined all of the diys when I had a gnat problem in my apartment (they were coming up the garbage disposal because no one was home in the summer!) and it worked super well!
Best gnat trap is a small dish with apple cider vinegar and then 1-2 pumps of dish soap on top, don’t mix it. They have been bad over in my apartment in TX recently too!
I feel you on the hair loss! I don't have hair loss myself, but I have been dealing with knee pain for over a year now. And not knowing the reason or what to do is really nerve wrecking sometimes
I would love to see a finance video within marriage! I’d love to hear Aidan’s point of view too. My fiancé and I are passionate about achieving financial freedom especially working on it together once we get married in a few months!
for fruitflies: apple cider vinegar in a bowl with cling wrap on top, poke multiple holes in it with a toothpick and set it out! majority of em will be trapped inside by the next day :)
there’s something you can do with dawn dish soap in a cup of water and leave it out on the counter to attract gnats and it kills them. you’d have to look up the exact concoction but I know it includes dawn dish soap!
For your gnats, give your trash can a good scrub in the shower. Sometimes they lay eggs in the crevices. Also they are ugly but highly recommend the raid fly tape. If you hang it for a month its really all you need. Lastly clean your drain with baking soda and white vinegar they may be coming from there.
for gnats/fruit flies: fill some kind of a small cup (I used a small mason jar) with apple cider vinegar, cover the top saran wrap and secure with an elastic band, and poke small holes in the top with a toothpick.
Have you tried deep cleaning your sink drain and/or garbage disposal? Sometimes they’ll lay their eggs in drains. There are lots of different ways to kill the eggs ranging ranging from bleach to a vinegar/baking soda solution. Google can give you different options.
We had horrible nats my senior year like I’m talking hundreds I feel like. What you do is get a plastic cup in it will be apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. Then you will put plastic wrap on top secure it with a rubber band and stab holes in the plastic with a pen or whatever. THIS WORKED SO WELL. We put a cup in every room. Kept all the fruit in the fridge and we were able to get rid of them!! Definitely not a fun experience
The gnats could be fungus gnats so check the soil in your houseplants. You can shake the plant or blow on the soil and see if gnats fly out. There are many ways to treat them. If that's not the issue then it's the apple cider vinegar cup does the trick.
I never comment on anything but I LOVE your stuff! I am a hairstylist and just wanted to maybe give you something else to try. We have had a lot of success with clients using Nutrafol. They are kind of pricey but they seems to be the only supplements that actually does anything. Also, adding some highlights at your roots will help give the hair a fuller appearance even if your stylists smudges them to match your natural color. That can help the hair has a TON more volume and thickness. I know that doesn’t help the internal part but it might could help for now! Just a thought! Thanks for always putting out great content!!
Erin thank you! this is so helpful. back at my old job, we actually had Nutrafol as a marketing client and I had always wanted to try it. I will have to check it out- that and the highlights!
They can actually start building nests in the sink!! I try and keep mine clean, the bathroom one too close it with the stopper because they can build homes there and that’s how they work their way to the house.
For the gnats: mix apple cider vinegar and brown sugar in a glass and then add a couple drops of dish soap. Leave it on the counter and the flies will be attracted to it and will get stuck in it.
If you put some juice in a cup and then a funnel leading into it the flies will crawl in and can’t get back out. I always have to do it this time of year
The fungus gnats like to bury their eggs in the top couple inches of plant soil. So you probably have so many because of that…they’re not harmful just annoying! You can use mosquito bits (which helpful prevent them) and sticky traps to kill the adults flying around your apartment!
You're not the only one expertise a lot of knots- I think for some reason in Texas this year it's been more than usual. Me and lots of my residents are experiencing it to (I am a leasing agent at an apartment complex lol) I've heard that apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and white vinegar in a jar or bowl is supposed to help. I personally spray Clorox bleach spray on my front door, inside my fireplace, my windows/patio door as well- and it has helped A LOT I just burn a candle after bc of the smell lol! Anyways I hope that helps!
Thanks for cheering up my day. Ive been in such a rut lately. Struggling spiritually, physically with weight gain and etc, feel like a mess all the time and like a horrible wife. I know its just a short summary of what im going through but any quick tips?
For the fruit flies: try putting vinegar and whatever kind of fruity juice in a glass and they will magically all fly into it. It’s helped every time to get rid of them.
Do you have house plants? The gnat live in the dirt (I've been battling them too). They ride in on fruit and then lay eggs in any dirt exposed to air. I've had a lot of success with water my plants biweekly with room temp water with soap in it. I shake up the pitcher and literally pour the suds on the top of the dirt. It's been working like a charm and my plants don't seem to mind. Hope you can get rid of them!
The fruit flies are the worst!! I have this one trap I got at target that you can DIY with apple cider vinegar. It's not sticky and looks like a tiny apple on my counter and it's helped a ton!
My daughter mentioned that she stopped running, and now works out . When she mentioned Sydney Cummings, she was so surprised that I heard of her. I told her how I follow you, and you’re a big fan.
I would love to see a finance video like you talked about! Im getting married soon and would love to hear about merging accounts and saving after a big event like a wedding!
This is random, but you look so naturally beautiful without makeup. You’re so tan and glowing! 🥰
so sweet, thank you so much Lainley :)
Michelle straight up BLESSING us with an almost 30-min vlog 🙌 happy Tuesday!
haha I love when I'm editing and they turn out super long! happy Tuesday to you too :)
Would love to see a personal finance, merging finances video!
For the knats, use a small glass, put in some vinegar or apple cider vinegar, put a piece of plastic wrap over tm top and poke a few holes! They go in but can’t get out!
When it comes to gnats you may want to check your plants. I've found that moist soil can attract them (recently had this issue with snake plant after wondering for weeks why gnats were in the house). Setting the plant outside for a few days to let the soil dry out and then just being more sparing with my watering helped a ton :)
There is something you can buy to kill the soil flies. I get it at my local garden center.🙂
Please continue sharing about your hair journey! I’m in a similar spot, I’ve always had really thick hair and over the last year have noticed it’s significantly thinner and it’s honestly really freaking me out, so I can relate to what you’re going through.

Life always has many things to bring you down. But, what can really bring you down is your attitude
I’ve been dealing with hair loss from hormone imbalance recently, as well as skin issues, low energy, and terrible periods. You’re not alone, thank you for sharing your experience 💓💓💓

Congrats on hitting your finance goal! What a great accomplishment! And "yes" to finance videos always! :)

I would love a video on just married finance tips!!
Can we say how much your life just gives me INSPO?!

I really recommend Where the Crawdads Sing - beautifully written and has a lot of mystery.
Buy a purple uv bug zapper light, plug it in to a wall outlet timre (like christmas lights) and then have it go on in the kitchen during the night while you are asleep
Thank you for opening up about your hair loss. I never notice it but know we tend to focus on our perceived 'flaws' more than what we like about ourselves. You are beautiful inside and out 💝 Hope you have an amazing birthday!!

when you see your face and your podcast while casually watching a vlog on TV 😂 LOVED having you on the podcast!!! will be live in just a few weeks YAY

Put dish soap, apple cider vinegar, and water in a glass and leave it on the kitchen counter! The flys will land on it :)
Fruit flies can come from indoor plants / earth - you need to get rid of it and spray the house ... keep food in fridge too
i've never commented but even though you're going through insecurities with your hair, you are still so beautiful! i've been watching you since you were enrolled in highschool/college. you're inspiring Michelle :)
Michelle plz make a video about what things we have to keep in our mind before getting a golden retriever.
And also about what thing we need to get before bringing him/her home❤❤❤
for sure! I'm likely waiting until Cash is close to a year old so I can share about training tips / things to know before :)
@@michellereedg yeah for sure whenever you feel its a perfect time
Thank you for talking about hair loss. I have been experiencing some of that as well and it is hard to go through. I appreciate you discussing it more than you know! Also - You are so beautiful and I absolutely love your channel 🙏🏼💕 God bless you 💕
I love how you did put your hair in a half up, half down. It looks beautiful to me.
I’d love a video about transitioning from the college budget to a full time job kind of salary
Aw I really feel for you about your hair loss. It’s so hard to deal with a condition that lacks a clear explanation - I experienced a random chronic injury and no one could explain why it happened! Be sure to explore non-western treatments, too, if they resonate with you. Sending all the love 💛
