    I’m no where near able to afford luxury things, but I think what I appreciate about you and your content is that you are unapologetic about your purchases and you don’t overly try to justify it. It is what it is. Actually, your content shows me that I do not need luxury items. I see the shoes, the bags, the clothes, etc. I see you enjoy them and I’m so happy. But I don’t desire them. I basically enjoy them through you? Does that make sense? I love seeing the things you buy. I understand the appeal. But I don’t have to own them myself to enjoy your videos. You are a calm, real voice in a land of fake people and fake smiles.

      I feel the same way and glad to see it articulated! I love watching Michelle unbox things I would never buy/can't afford and truly love them - not for status, but because she actually likes them. I've learned to appreciate the fancy things I can afford in the same genuine way.

    This may sound crazy. But your vlogs have helped me through a very difficult time. My closest friend passed away three weeks ago, and your vlogs have been my escape. I enjoy them very much and they are very soothing. They have helped my mind to focus on something else. Keep them coming!

    I took on caring for my demented mom right as my own menopause crashed in. Truly a 36-hour day, as the book title says. I learned how to sleep anywhere - mostly sitting up in a bedside chair in a hospital room somewhere. So I sleep maybe three or four hours at a time. Mom's been gone 16 years, and I don't think I'll ever train myself to sleep better, at least not without drugs. Thanks for the videos - though your lifestyle is way different than mine, you are truly an enjoyable daily habit.

    I’ve been waking up super early since my sons were small and now they’re grown adults. I am in the gym by 5 AM every day. It’s a magical time as you said. It’s a time before the regular day gets started and it’s almost like a meditation to yourself before the world takes over.

    Thank you for your comments about your pug. My Daisy is 15. She is a Maltese cross and has been the light of my life. She is in heart failure, and it has become very challenging as she wakes up about three times during the night. You validated that when our pets age, we must be there for them no matter what.

    Oh my gosh Michelle, when you said you enjoy being alone and enjoy quiet, I believe we are kindred spirits. As I have gotten older, I respect the quietness and alone time more than ever. You can call it Zen or whatever you want, but I think when you can be alone with yourself you have reached the best feeling in the world. So, thank you for sharing.❤

    27:23 This was an interesting question. I think if you have a good relationship that works. I was under the impression that a lot of modern relationship have separate finances. I would like to know in the comments here if you do and how that works. It sort of sounds like if you have a power struggle over finances that means you don't have a good relationship. That makes sense. 28:35 but you just said I am using my own cash... that is confusing to me if the finances are joint. I am just trying to understand how others make this work. I like having my own cash / accounts personally.

    • @sarahogren3697
      @sarahogren3697 Рік тому

      Agreed! I'm 47, have been married 2x and both times had completely separate banking accounts, cards, and split expenses 50/50. It's worked amazingly for me. I think primarily because I've been financially independent my whole life. There's also no worries about spending money that way. Of course nuances come into play. Just my experience! ❤

    I started getting up around 4 am for work at age 36. And I am glad I kept that habit. I changed my job at age 42 and I really needed to get up at 4 am bc my shift started at 6 or 6:30 am so I had to leave the house at 5 am. Now I am turning 44 yrs young I am loving getting up early every day and on my days off I just go back to sleep and get up at 8:30am when I am tired. Extra hours means that I get to see the sunrise, I get stuff done (work stuff , housework, organizing etc).

    I wake around 4am every morning (not by choice) and in the summer I walk my dog, do some gardening, yoga and totally agree that it’s a magical time. However in the winter here in England where it doesn’t get light until 8am it is horrible, dark, cold and despite continuing with my yoga I hate those 4 plus hours waiting for the sun to come up.

Also, I know no one asked me, but if I could choose anyone living or dead to have dinner with I’d definitely choose Eleanor of Aquitaine. She had two marriages, ten children, unequalled power for her time and lived eighty years. She fascinates me.
