Hey babe!!!! I’ve had this video saved to watch for weeks and I’m sitting down with my coffee and spending some time with you. I know that you’ve been through so much. I can’t even imagine. What I would give to be able to hug you. The strength you have is amazing. You are a WARRIOR!!❤❤❤
My heart goes out to you honey. I feel you with the eye rolling doctors. I have had that for years and then when I finally got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia my doctor laughed at me. I hate to say it but I think if we were men we would be taken seriously from the get go. I pray it all works out for you xxx
Your doctor laughed at you??! That's unacceptable! I really hope you found a new doctor that has a little compassion and decency about them.... thank you 💜💜 I hope you have a good holiday!
I'm glad you're finally getting somewhere with your doctors and they're listening to you. Because lately even I've read so many stories of women being dismissed by their doctors and it turns out to be something serious. It's sad that you're not alone in that and it happens so often. I'm so glad to hear that your lump in your breast wasnt cancerous. What a huge relief. I hope your other tests and surgery goes well too. Hang in there!! You're a very strong woman if you've handled this much already!!
Omg same! It only took 3 years of being a pain in the ass, for someone to start listening to me. Yes, unfortunately, women have this happen A LOT. It's so sad. Thank you, Maureen 💜💜💜
Glad to see you even though you ate going through a hell of a lot lately. I’m glad you finally got some answers and are on the right treatment path. I often struggle with what kind of content to put out of figure out what people want to see. You can do certain tag videos or just keep doing the chatty grwm style videos. I’ve always watched whatever you put out. But I enjoy watching videos that arent centered around all the new makeup because I don’t really pay attention all to new releases anymore. I have splurged on the Danessa Myricks lightwork and PMG holiday palette but those are the only ones that caught my eye recently
Hey lovey! Glad to see you here! And thank you! Yeah, it's always tough when it comes to makeup content- when you aren't really buying new stuff anymore. I haven't been really buying anything, either. I need to catch up on your channel-I haven't been watching any makeup videos like at all. Too tempting lol anyway, hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family 💜💜💜
hi michelle im so glad to see you again. happy christmas and happy new year, wishing you and your fam all best wishes for the new year. im so sorry for you struggles but think of it this way, at least you have some idea of what it is, its better that not knowing anything. and think of all the ppl who wishes you all positivity. you are so strong, the fact that you still are here and so ready to fight shows that. ive had some really hard times to, the 9th of november i lost my dear fur baby pixie, two weeks later a very tragic thing happened to my brother and a week later my mom was in a very bad car accident. my mom didnt get hurt but she had angels watching over her. my brother is still on the mend. but a week before xmas i got co...d again and missed seeing my bff this xmas. but what doesnt kill you make you stronger. best wishes for a speady recovery, i had an colonoscopy a few years ago and man talk about up side down vulcano and its so bad. a mamogram is so bad as i say its not the fun kind of squeezing. im sorry i havent responded sooner i have been at my parents for xmas and the wifi there is sooo bad that i barely works, so i waited to repond to i got home. the way you feel like the fainting and echaustion may be bc your body is so on the fritz. hly shit when you mentioned breast cancer i almost fell of my chair, that god in heaven it not that, that makes my day that you got that good news. never apologize for you emotions, its healthy to get them out, when you going through so much you get overwelmed and if you dont think of your mental health then it is not good. bad docs ruins the work of good ones and it isnt a bader feeling than those ones making you feel like a loon, stay true to yourself. fight for yourself your the only one who lives in your body. its so good that you can take joy out of your makeup, thats why it exists. fill the house with cats they are the joy of life. ill watch whatever you put out, dont worry.. hope your week and day goes well, love you love muffin. hugs and kisses
Hey love!!! I'm so sorry I'm late responding! I just realized you commented! Thank you for the kind words 💜 It's been a rollercoaster, but I'm glad I'm FINALLY getting somewhere. Or at least it feels like it lol I'm so sorry your Christmas was not ideal this year with the stuff with your family and then you getting sick and not being able to see your friend. That really sucks 😕 And you lost your pet...omg. It sounds like you had an extremely trying month. I'm sending hugs your way 💜💜💜 I'm so excited for this surgery I can barely contain myself lmao... Im just really hoping it's going to answer a lot of my problems 🙏 Thank you for being here babe-I missed talking with you all soooooo much. I'm going to attempt to upload a lot once I have my surgery. I'll be stuck in the house, recovering for 6 weeks so I'll definitely have the time. Take care of yourself friend- and hopefully your luck is turning around. Lots of love ❤️ 🥰
@@MakeupwithMichelle thanks for your kind words to. its been a horrible month but oh well , when life trows you lemons you make lemonade so ergo ive been drinking a ot of lemonade haha. ill cross my fingers and toes for you surgery and recovery, im sure it will go smoothly and its about time you get some answers. stay safe and well and love you tons love muffin.
Hey girl, hey! Lol thank you for being here 🥰💜 have a happy holiday! Def get ready with me! That's my favorite time to get ready- with a good beauty youtuber lol
Beautiful look, Michelle!!! You are so damn stunning. Makeup or not. Your talent never ceases to amaze me. This is such a great video. So helpful. I’m so proud of you for telling your story and your experience. I’m with you, babe!!! Always!❤❤❤
Aw thank you love ❤️ you are too kind. I def don't feel stunning these days. Thank you for the compliment 😘😘 And I think we need to share that kind of stuff because it's hurting people. How many people die because a doctor didn't listen or take them seriously? It's heartbreaking to think about. Thank you for watching 💜
@@MakeupwithMichelle I totally agree. And the really sad thing is that as we age, we just don’t get taken seriously. And we KNOW OUR BODIES!!!! Listen to us!!! You touched on so many things here that NEED to be talked about. You validated my own experience a million times over. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry you’ve been going through this!!! As you were talking I was questioning if you could have Endo or Adenomyosis. I’m glad your gyno is addressing both. I’m counting down to my hysterectomy and Endo excision surgery. I hope you get some answers and relief!! ❤❤❤
Yeah, I'm really thinking it's both. My hysterectomy will tell all. I really hope your surgery goes well and you also get some relief! And thank you 💜💜💜
I am in the same boat medically. Even with having actual diagnoses, i still get treated like i have to prove i am as sick as i am. It just creates more stress and fatigue for me, so i have given up on all doctors and ever getting better. There is no cure for the conditions i have, and the medications are super scary, so what's the point? I found you because of your declutters, but i am staying because i enjoy your personality and overall vibe. We also share the same bold style of makeup looks. Upload when you can, and rest when you can't. Happy holidays. 🖤
I'm so sorry you're having a rough time medically, as well. I agree so much- having to "prove" yourself over and over is exhausting, time consuming, expensive, and makes you feel extremely stressed out. I hope we both find doctors willing to take is seriously and get us the help we need 💜🤞 And thank you! I really appreciate you saying that! This channel is definitely different from where I started. I'm glad I have a community that is so compassionate and caring. I hope you have a wonderful holiday 💗
I am so sorry you had to go through the colonoscopy prep, it is the worst, I had one in the summer and felt sick for two days after. I am glad to hear that you are finally getting somewhere with your medical issues, I'm also happy to hear that you advocate for yourself when dealing with these doctors, sometimes doctors try to brush off symptoms because they have too many patients to deal with and also what insurances will cover for their diagnoses, also cause issues with proper care. Good to hear that the lump wasn't cancerous, one less anxiety issue to deal with. I hope all your other tests and surgery go well, and you will be on the road to feeling better.
Thank you so much 💜 Im glad it's over with, honestly. I'm really nervous about the hysterectomy though. I'm trying not to think about it lol I hope you have a wonderful holiday 💗
This is so weird but I had a mammogram and ultrasound today and I randomly started thinking about you so I started to worry and decided to check on here and saw you posted this a month ago. Wow! You've been going through it and I'm so sorry. I'm just glad doctors are finally listening and you're getting somewhere with it!!! Freaking finally!!! You also seem to have a really good perspective on things and you have your priorities in check and I'm so proud of you. Big hugs and good thoughts. I also want to thank you for sharing. It makes me feel not so alone. Please check in when you have a chance. Miss you. xoxo
Thank you so much for leaving that comment 💜 I've been struggling with whether I should continue sharing my health struggles/journey, because I know not everyone really cares to hear about it and it doesn't do the best in terms of views. But, you reminded me that that's not why I do it. I chose to share those intimate details of my life because it may help someone else, or it might make someone else feel less alone. If I can do that for even one person, then I think it's worth sharing. Thank you for that reminder! I do have a lot more to share and seeing as how things have been progressing, I'm sure plenty more in the future. I'm currently working on an update for y'all. I'm so glad you're also taking charge of your health! I'm hoping everything went well with your testing and you get favorable results. It's so scary going through that and it can really take a toll on your mental health. Sending lots of love and light your way 💜💜 Thank you for your support!!
@@MakeupwithMichelle I hope you have some answers and are still doing well emotionally. I know things can feel so up and down but I want you to know that you're being thought of and cared about. My results were okay. They found some cysts which they said either a biopsy or a follow up mammogram and ultrasound in six months. With everything else going on in my life I opted for the follow up in six months in hopes that everything else will calm down a bit between now and then. They said it looks like just cysts and that can be normal for my age etc. Anyways, I'm sending good thoughts and lots of love your way. I look forward to hearing how you are doing. 💕
@@shanak1975 thank you- and same to you. Yeah-the biopsy is nerve wracking and if they think it's just cysts, you're prolly better off waiting 6 months for additional testing. I'll be thinking about ya!
Im new here, I found your swatch videos and then seen this so just wanted to say I hope everything is ok. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos :) I can already tell your gonna be one of my favorite UA-camrs because of your personality :) anyways off to sleep so I can wake up extra early and get started on your videos lol xoxoxo hope everyone is ok ans having a good day / evening.
Welcome to the fam, Bethany 🤗 Thank you so much for the kind words- you made my day! I'm glad you're enjoying my content so far. Hopefully, I'll be uploading more- soon as I'm feeling up to it 💜 I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😁🥰
Glad you’re getting answers! Had my endo surgery last week, I had it bad! Also had a bowel resection it was in there as well. I was in the hospital for a week, and I’m 9 days out today, needing oxygen as I recover as well. Feels great to be validated. I got told I was a hypochondriac for years, yet I have stage 5 endometriosis!
Oh my God.... Im so sorry! I'm glad you finally got the surgery you needed and that you're FINALLY healing and will see some relief. I just don't understand why doctors don't LISTEN to their female patients. It's maddening how many of us get silenced, ignored, dismissed, etc. Keep me updated on how you're doing. I'm sending lots of positive vibes and healing energy your way 💜💜
@@MakeupwithMichelle it’s disgusting how as women were expected to have excruciating pain and just bear it! It’s not normal. I hope you find relief soon 💕
Good morning gorgeous one❤I’m going to watch first, then come back to comment. Be sure to check back😂 It’s always hard to face and come to terms with ALL the possibilities. When you do, though, nothing can come out of left field. And also, when you do, things have a habit of turning out well. I’m praying for that positive result!❤ You don’t have to buy makeup or post makeup videos to have viewership! I truly believe that this community is different! My colonoscopy is in January. Not very excited, truth be told. 😳 Your look is so beautiful….I’m never surprised…..❤ I’m so happy to see you today. Thank you for being here and spending time with me!🥰😘
Thank you so much, friend 😘 ❤️ And I agree- just getting to the acceptance part, is the hardest part. But I'm hoping it's up from here 🤞 And I think this community is different, too. Hopefully we can take things in a bit of a different direction once I feel a little better. Good luck with your colonoscopy. Honestly, it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. The worst part for me, was my system trying to re-regulate after having been completely cleaned out and taking a bunch of laxatives. And you're so sweet 🥰 I miss creating looks so much 😭 I need to do it more often. So happy to see you here today!!! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!! 💛 😘
When I was dealing with my uterus turning into a lethal weapon, the receptionist at my doctors office was so awful. She talked to me like I was worthless. And making a big deal out of nothing. I was bleeding so bad I literally thought I was going to die. I know that’s TMI but I really thought I was going to bleed to death. When I finally got an appointment to see my doctor, she was amazing. She really listened to me. And got me into surgery to have my devil basket removed very quickly. Best medical decision of my life. It’s really sad when the doctors staff doesn’t have any empathy or understanding. And even doctors behave that way. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment!!!
It really is crazy... I'm so glad you got the care you needed and that you're feeling much better now 💜 Idk why but even WOMEN in the Healthcare field will not listen to other women. I truly don't understand it.
@@MakeupwithMichelle I don’t either. You’d think other women would have some empathy and respect and understanding. But so many don’t. I was so angry that I had to deal with such disbelief and disrespect. My heart goes out to you, my dear friend. You kicked ass with this video!!!!
I’m glad you got some answers! Hopefully you find positive answers! Praying for you! The eyeshadow is stunning! I can relate to too much buying makeup and I don’t have a channel😂 Shopping when you’re depressed is a real thing!
Thank you, Cynthia 🥰 and yes- depression will make you do some questionable things at times. It's been strange not buying as much because I've done that for so long. I hope you have a wonderful holiday 💗
My heart goes out to you! (hugs) I hope that 2023 brings you answers and healing!!!! It was nice to see you post ( I miss your face!) and to get an update. You randomly pop into my mind sometimes wondering how you are. Love the eye look. I've not tried Adept, but I have been LOVING Indie brands.
Thank you so much love! I miss chatting with you on here! Now that I'm finally getting some resolution, I may be able to upload more! Girl.......indie is where it's at for eyeshadows-mainstream just doesn't even hold a candle to indie! Adept has great shimmer/ special shades 🤤
@@MakeupwithMichelle Indie really is. I've found myself hardly ever reaching for non Indie pallets anymore. They are just soooo good, especially when it comes to shimmers.
I’m only at the 18 or so minute mark but thank Jesus someone finally discovered the mess happening down there and you going to have a hysterectomy!!! I just have to believe that has had to have had been a contributing to some of the stomach issues. I haven’t had a colonoscopy because of the prep and not sure I ever will. My husband died Michelle and honestly taking the time to watch videos due to poor concentration, unable to leave comments because it’s draining and I never wear colorful eyeshadow at all because for me at 57 it does nothing to flatter me. Thank God I saw the truth in that FOR ME! But I LOVE ya girl, I CARE about you, obviously because I took the time to comment, which I rarely do, but have faith Michelle, you know God, your higher power has done great things in your life and will see you through ALL of this!!! Merry Christmas!!! ❤🎄❤️
Oh no Maureen 😢I'm so incredibly sorry to hear about your husband. I'm sending the biggest hug your way 💜💜💜 I def understand that life is much bigger than UA-cam and I, too, don't watch or comment anywhere near what I used to. Real life outweighs UA-cam, any day. The prep for the colonoscopy is honestly not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The worst part for me was recovering from jacking my digestive system up with the prep AFTER the colonoscopy. It took my system almost 2 weeks to get back to some sense of normalcy, but that's bc it's already wrecked. I was honestly shocked how easy my prep was. I had to drink 32 oz of gatorade with a hlf bottle of miralax in it, with 4 dulcolax pills, on the first night. The next morning I had to drink the 2nd 32 oz bottle of gatorade with the rest of the miralax, and 2 more dulcolax. Really not horrible. It's worth making sure things are ok 💜 I love YOU and I'm incredibly grateful for our friendship. I really hope you can find some peace and warmth this holiday season. My thoughts are with you, friend 😘💜💜💜💜💜
Yes you should question the doctors girl.... I hope you get answers and a good doctor that ACTUALLY CARES about people!!! I'd roll my eyes right back at them and then FIRE THEM to their fckg face!.... ❤️🙏
Thank you 💜 I've weeded out a bunch of the dr's that suckes...I need a new primary care dr because she really didn't take me too serious with the health issues either. I've been through so many primary care drs though so Im going to wait until I get this current stuff over with first. It's just ridiculous. And Yeah- I should've rolled my eyes right back at her lol
Hey babe!!!! I’ve had this video saved to watch for weeks and I’m sitting down with my coffee and spending some time with you. I know that you’ve been through so much. I can’t even imagine. What I would give to be able to hug you. The strength you have is amazing. You are a WARRIOR!!❤❤❤

My colonoscopy is in January. Not very excited, truth be told. 😳
Your look is so beautiful….I’m never surprised…..❤
I’m so happy to see you today. Thank you for being here and spending time with me!🥰😘
Thank you so much, friend 😘 ❤️
And I agree- just getting to the acceptance part, is the hardest part. But I'm hoping it's up from here 🤞
And I think this community is different, too. Hopefully we can take things in a bit of a different direction once I feel a little better.
Good luck with your colonoscopy. Honestly, it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. The worst part for me, was my system trying to re-regulate after having been completely cleaned out and taking a bunch of laxatives.
And you're so sweet 🥰 I miss creating looks so much 😭 I need to do it more often.
So happy to see you here today!!! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!! 💛 😘
@@MakeupwithMichelle How could I have forgotten to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year! 🎄🎄🎄
Lol it's ok!!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Yeaarrrr 🎶🎄🎅
When I was dealing with my uterus turning into a lethal weapon, the receptionist at my doctors office was so awful. She talked to me like I was worthless. And making a big deal out of nothing. I was bleeding so bad I literally thought I was going to die. I know that’s TMI but I really thought I was going to bleed to death. When I finally got an appointment to see my doctor, she was amazing. She really listened to me. And got me into surgery to have my devil basket removed very quickly. Best medical decision of my life. It’s really sad when the doctors staff doesn’t have any empathy or understanding. And even doctors behave that way. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment!!!
It really is crazy... I'm so glad you got the care you needed and that you're feeling much better now 💜 Idk why but even WOMEN in the Healthcare field will not listen to other women. I truly don't understand it.
@@MakeupwithMichelle I don’t either. You’d think other women would have some empathy and respect and understanding. But so many don’t. I was so angry that I had to deal with such disbelief and disrespect. My heart goes out to you, my dear friend. You kicked ass with this video!!!!
@@EricaConger thank you 🙏🥰
I’m glad you got some answers! Hopefully you find positive answers! Praying for you!
The eyeshadow is stunning! I can relate to too much buying makeup and I don’t have a channel😂
Shopping when you’re depressed is a real thing!
Thank you, Cynthia 🥰 and yes- depression will make you do some questionable things at times. It's been strange not buying as much because I've done that for so long.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday 💗
My heart goes out to you! (hugs) I hope that 2023 brings you answers and healing!!!! It was nice to see you post ( I miss your face!) and to get an update. You randomly pop into my mind sometimes wondering how you are.
Love the eye look. I've not tried Adept, but I have been LOVING Indie brands.
Thank you so much love! I miss chatting with you on here!
Now that I'm finally getting some resolution, I may be able to upload more!
Girl.......indie is where it's at for eyeshadows-mainstream just doesn't even hold a candle to indie! Adept has great shimmer/ special shades 🤤
@@MakeupwithMichelle Indie really is. I've found myself hardly ever reaching for non Indie pallets anymore. They are just soooo good, especially when it comes to shimmers.
A merry Christmas to the beautiful Michelle hoping you get spoiled by your loved ones today much love 💕 🎅 🎄
Aw thank you 💜 Merry Christmas 🎄🎄
Missed you a lot
Still gorgeous as always
I admire that you are taking care of yourself
I’ll keep praying for you
Missed you!!! Thank you 💜 Hopefully I'll be filming more soon!
Yes, validation is everything and helps to calm anxiety!! You hit the nail on that!!
💯💯💯
Oh wow those palettes are stunning I hate living in the UK and missing out :0) xx
Yeah that def sucks...I think we don't realize how lucky we are here in the US in regards to good indie makeup
I’m only at the 18 or so minute mark but thank Jesus someone finally discovered the mess happening down there and you going to have a hysterectomy!!! I just have to believe that has had to have had been a contributing to some of the stomach issues. I haven’t had a colonoscopy because of the prep and not sure I ever will.
My husband died Michelle and honestly taking the time to watch videos due to poor concentration, unable to leave comments because it’s draining and I never wear colorful eyeshadow at all because for me at 57 it does nothing to flatter me. Thank God I saw the truth in that FOR ME!
But I LOVE ya girl, I CARE about you, obviously because I took the time to comment, which I rarely do, but have faith Michelle, you know God, your higher power has done great things in your life and will see you through ALL of this!!!
Merry Christmas!!! ❤🎄❤️
Oh no Maureen 😢I'm so incredibly sorry to hear about your husband. I'm sending the biggest hug your way 💜💜💜 I def understand that life is much bigger than UA-cam and I, too, don't watch or comment anywhere near what I used to. Real life outweighs UA-cam, any day.
The prep for the colonoscopy is honestly not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The worst part for me was recovering from jacking my digestive system up with the prep AFTER the colonoscopy. It took my system almost 2 weeks to get back to some sense of normalcy, but that's bc it's already wrecked. I was honestly shocked how easy my prep was. I had to drink 32 oz of gatorade with a hlf bottle of miralax in it, with 4 dulcolax pills, on the first night. The next morning I had to drink the 2nd 32 oz bottle of gatorade with the rest of the miralax, and 2 more dulcolax. Really not horrible. It's worth making sure things are ok 💜
I love YOU and I'm incredibly grateful for our friendship. I really hope you can find some peace and warmth this holiday season. My thoughts are with you, friend 😘💜💜💜💜💜
Yes you should question the doctors girl.... I hope you get answers and a good doctor that ACTUALLY CARES about people!!! I'd roll my eyes right back at them and then FIRE THEM to their fckg face!.... ❤️🙏
Thank you 💜 I've weeded out a bunch of the dr's that suckes...I need a new primary care dr because she really didn't take me too serious with the health issues either. I've been through so many primary care drs though so Im going to wait until I get this current stuff over with first. It's just ridiculous. And Yeah- I should've rolled my eyes right back at her lol
