Let me know what other videos you'd like to see from me! Whether that be more week in my life vlog-style videos, week in my life in Dallas videos, Dallas videos, or lifestyle vlogs in Dallas. Or any puppy videos or golden retriever puppy vlogs. Let me know if you'd like to see more finance videos on budgeting, saving, and being financially independent in your 20s! Or more videos of me trying new things for a week, whether that be new skills or habits. Or videos on getting married, planning a wedding, or getting married young! I also make simple living, minimalism, and slow living videos as well!
PSA: Hi all! I just wanted to call out that today Daily Harvest recalled their Lentil + Leek Crumbles- do not eat them / discard of them if you have purchased them. I’ve edited out where I mention them in this video (I know this video is a bit old) but it usually takes a few hours to update. Thank you to those that let me know via DM’s!! I want you all to be safe, I’m just now aware of this ❤️ They have a full statement here- bit.ly/3n3xY7U
Hey Michelle! Try blowdrying the sweat post-workout . I find this helps my hair last an extra days or two between washes and kinda acts as a volume booster! Power dry shampoo is a nice alternative, l just recommend applying it with a makeup brush to the scalp! Hope this helps!!
I seriously love when you share your devotions! It is just so beautiful and encouraging to hear the Bible, as well as what God is teaching you through it. Keep it up, Michelle ☺️💐
You are a breath of fresh air in the CZcams space, Michelle! Thanks for today's video. I just finished cleaning up my place and watching this video feels like a treat! ^_^
Can't explain how much I love your vlogs! You are so realistic, down to earth and sweet, definitely one of my favorite youtubers ❤️
Just in time to motivate me to clean my closet haha. I love how cozy is your new apartment, looking forward to seeing it in future vlogs. Have a happy weekend! 🌸
perfect video for that since I organized ours! hope you enjoy, thanks Timea 🌸
James is my favorite book of the Bible! I plan to read through it this summer.
I feel happy when I get a notification that you have uploaded a new video 🥰😘😍. Thank you very much for uploading the video. Your videos fill me with so much positive energy 🍓♥️🥰😍🍓♥️🥰
ahh means so much!! ❤️
You are such an inspiration!
You really make me stop and enjoy the small moments in life ❤️
that's always the goal, Jenna! hope you enjoy the video ❤️
Love your videos and the vibe I get from them, you really inspire me to live a quieter life! Congratulations on the move 😘
ah thank you! love to hear that 💛
Hi Michelle! This excited me so much in just a week I’ll be living in the USA (Pittsburgh) and all this moving thing that you’re going through is so inspiring to do my own thing 🥰
Thanks for the video 🧡 Cash is always adorable
Please do a sip and thrift video with Michel Janse! That would be the best video of all time!
Your videos just makes me 10x happier 🥰🤍 Your energy is just always radiating through the screen and I could watch you make ice and be happy! I just love you!! 🤍🤍🤍
ahh Claire, thanks! glad you enjoy the videos ❤️ hope you have a sweet weekend!
Hey, so I workout 3-4times a week and I stopped using dry shampoo 4 years ago. Instead I use cornstarch and it's incredibly effective! It gives you volume does not make you scalp itchy and super cheap
Also a mosquito all you can eat buffet. Try witch hazel for the itching. It really does help.
Your videos are my favorite to watch 🌸🤍 Tuesday's and Saturday's are my favorite days because you upload!!
thank you always, Maria! hope you enjoy your weekend ❤️
Love the video!
About the mosquito bites, it's actually proven that certain blood types tend to attract mosquitoes.
Oh my goodness I completely relate to the hair struggle!!!! I finally grew my hair out but now have no idea what to do with it in this heat 😂
Maybe for the yellow skirt you could pull it lower to increase the length and wear it with a boxy tee? I loveee the look of a mini skirt with a hip length loose t shirt hanging over. Also the pink dress looks SO good on you!!!! I saw several people suggesting bike shorts. I totally agree. You could also pair them with some boxer type beachy shorts which can totally look intentional if it’s a coordinating color.
I cannot express to you how grateful I am for your videos. Your light, faith and encouragement is felt so deeply through watching your content. Thank you so much for brightening up a tough week 🤍
Lauren!! thank you for sharing this. it equally brings me so much joy making these videos and getting to share them online, so I really thank you for the support 💛 hope you're doing well!
Oh my gosh one of my first times seeing a video within the hour of you posting, as I live in Australia!! So excited to see content in your new apartment 💜
ahh Chloe that's awesome! so sweet you're watching all the way from Australia... means so much 💛
I make my own dry shampoo! Corn starch, baking soda, essential oils. You can add cocoa powder for darker hair (I'm blonde), but I haven't tried that obviously.
Thank you for sharing your faith and devotionals.
We basically live in a forest so mosquitoes are badddd
But as soon as we notice we have them we put AfterBite on them before we scratch them and they just go away
:)
I loveee these types of videos!! And I love when you decorate with fresh flowers. I’ve been buying flowers for my room for a couple of months now and it absolutely makes such a difference. 💐💞💜
Scented lotions!!! I learned the hard way to go ALL unscented after a few summers of getting devoured by mosquitos in Missouri haha.
Love this so much and I am so obsessed with your channel! Thank you for bringing light into this world with your amazing content! I hope that holy are settling in to your new place well and making it feel like home! I am so blessed to have found your channel and I am forever grateful
Hi Michelle, I love your vlogs! By chance have you seen what's going on with Daily Harvest's lentil crumbles and other recipes? I can't remember if it was this vlog or another where you were eating them (and they did look tasty) but I would advise putting a halt on eating any more for fear of potential gastrointestinal issues.
Put lavender essential oils on bug bites, helps the itching part
I love your videos. They, your home, your clothes, and you are beautiful. Your dog Cash is so cute! Moving is so much work. Your house looks so organized; love all the bins. God does work through the quiet moments of our lives. How do you create the pretty fonts across your videos? Also, how do you speed up your videos like that at certain points?
For your hair- get it wet after workouts when you shower but don’t wash it and that might help with the oiliness
You’re videos are always my favorite to watch . They always make my day so much better
ah, Victoria thank you! really sweet of you to say ❤️
Girlie! Try after bite if you haven't yet. It helps with the itching a bit
1) I have heard your blood type is one factor regarding the mosquitos. Like they’re more attracted to certain blood types
2) Benadryl lotion helps. It’s not really lotion is like allergy cream but when I was younger it helped
Omg ❤️ I look forward to these Saturday videos you’re too cute 🌿 what a wonderful Saturday treat 🤍☀️
thank you so much! hope you have a lovely weekend Nsika 💛
I like to alternate between regular shampoo and co-wash (I use the As I Am brand from Target) when I feel like I need to wash my hair often. It’s gentler and makes my scalp calm down a bit, I think, because it’s not so stripping.
Great job on your days in the life video and you did such an amazing job, Michelle!❤️❤️🌸🌸
thank you, Ervin! ❤️
You’re welcome, Michelle my friend!
Hi Michelle! You are my absolute favorite youtuber! I always look forward to watching your videos! Thanks for doing what you do 💛
thank you for watching and being here, Jenay!
the amount of peace your vlogs give me 💖
Yes, mosquitoes bite some people and some not. I get always bite. I use natural repellent with vanilla scent and citronella oil. I don’t know what happens but the smell helps a lot, they don’t get even close.
For short dresses, I just wear biker shorts/short leggings and can be carefree! :) I wish skorts (skirt+shorts) would come back in style because they truly are practical + cute haha
love your vids so much!!!!!
Congrats on your move, happy to see how happy the new place makes you!!
Loved this vlog!! Always love seeing your day-to-days! They're so calming to watch! I'm actually finishing up a study of James this week! I used the "For the Girl" study, and I highly recommend!!
sweet michelle , i absolutely loved the faith chat && just catching up on your faith journey! i love when you incorporate Jesus && christianity into your vlogs && i would love for more faith chats in the future! living for this christian content!
xoxo , your sister in Christ! ✞
i know it’s supposed to be a dress, but i think some ripped jean shorts would be really cute under the pink dress!
Love your videos Michelle!
Michelle, what kind of bug spray do you use? You should try a lemongrass one because they dont like that smell!
The pink dress is gorgeous! Wear shorts (even gym legging shorts) under the dress -it will make you feel less conscious. I do that with some of my dresses
Perfect timing!!yay! Lucky me!! :)
ah yay! thanks, Jenny ❤️
The dress is super cute. I always wear shorts under dresses like that! If you can find a pair of soft shorts that match the color it seems intentional
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the first piece from your nuuly order!! So stunning
I always have that problem with dresses! I wear biker shorts underneath, sometimes I wear them under jeans shorts as well if they're too short! Being 35 it's not cute having too much showing but I still love wearing short dresses! This way I can run and play with my daughter, without exposing too much or being scared that the wind will give me a Marilyn Monroe moment!
Love your videos by the way, you have such a sweet and authentic way about you.
i love your video and vibes i like the sling bag it looks so cute on u
You're inspiring! I love how your videos are calm yet productive. Congrats on the new apartment :)
Michelle, about greasy hair... This might be gross, but I will literally blow dry the sweat in my hair and it keeps it looking clean for another day. I try to avoid dry shampoo as much as possible and have found that this helps
you should start keeping it in the fridge! once you have an active starter you can put it in the fridge and only feed it once a month.
Michelle I’m struggling with my hair too and apple vinegar is wonderful! Not pure, but with water, 50/50 of each, in the last rinse. And don’t use too much conditioner, maybe it’s contributing with the hair becoming more greasy.
You should try bug bands! There are several brands that sell them but you just wear them on your ankle or wrist and they REALLY work! The smell deters bugs but it’s not as strong as bug spray and you don’t smell like it after
A video to start the morning! Have a great weekend Michelle! How are you doing?
doing great, Mukisa! about to head to my workout class with Aidan here soon.... hope you're doing well ❤️
I love your videos so much!! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. I take vitamin B12 almost every day and I rarely get bug bites anymore. I generally get huge welts, and tons of them, and taking that vitamin has helped me! Just thought I would let you know :)
My hair is always greasy too! And don’t like dry shampoo cause Of the chemicals and such, I have found corn starch works great! And it’s so cheap too
Yes! Mosquitos definitely likes some people more than others if I go out with my husband they eat him alive I come back without any bite…I don’t understand what’s up with that 🤷🏼♀️
Can't wait to see vlogs from your new apartment! Congratulations!!
ah yay! lots coming here soon 💛
I got some really bad bug bites at my friend's outdoor wedding last year and discovered calaclear I think is what it was called. They have a lot of over-the-counter topical treatments you can get at just the grocery store to put on your bites to relieve the itching!
I have heard people with type O blood gets bit by mosquitoes more! Have you tried the bug repellent bracelets?
Your home is so cute! I need you to come decorate my house!! ❤️
I would agree! I am O- and I’m always getting bit. I started wearing one of those citronella bracelets on my ankle when I walk my dog or just hang around outside and I was pretty surprised at how much it helped. I also heard mixing tea tree oil with water is a more natural bug repellent, but tree tea is toxic to dogs (my husband is a vet so he keeps me updated on alternatives and what they mean for our dog) so if you don’t have a dog that could be an option too!
me too! I am type O and get eaten alive! although my fiancé is type O too and hardly ever gets bitten. I have also heard extra sweat and perfumes can attract them so that's another reason I don't wear perfume!
So happy for your new place!!
thank you! we've really been enjoying it ❤️
hi michelle a quick tip for before and after BUG BITES!!! PUT PEPERMINT OIL ON YOUR LEGS BEFORE HEADING OUT. PLUS FOR REALLY ITCHY BITES MAKE MINT TEA IN A PINT MUG PUT IN THE FRIDGE AND DAB THE BITES NO ITCH, LOVE YOU SIS IN CHRIST X
Pink dress, definitely a return! Lol. Seems quite short
I get bitten a lot too! And I don’t know why. I feel your pain 😂. They itch terribly
Looove your vlogs! They are a treat.
I saw a note from DH about the Lentils just FYI, be careful using them!
This apartment is sooo dreammyy!!
Ugh I think I could watch your videos the whole day.. They are so calming. ❤️ I think I need a life.. 😂
If you pull the pink one down to be an off the shoulder it might make it longer
happy weekend michelle💗 your videos makes my day😃 sending u lots of love
thank you, Hitasha!
Love your videos, just wanted to share for your hair issues that I went through a greasy hair phase when I went off birth control, but it went away and back to normal!
There is a syringe type thing you can get on Amazon or at the drugstore.. it sucks the venom out and it helps with healing and stopping the itch. But yes I get bit a ton. This has saved me.
I do use natural sprays essential oils works just as well and smells way better.
Mosquitoes do not have venom, and those things do not suck anything out. 100% a gimmick regardless of what you have been bitten or stung by. It is physically impossible for them to suck anything out. Chances are you are feeling better because there is either a placebo effect, or the sucking is creating temporary cellular damage that is affecting the pain receptors at the site.
@@roche320 what ever they have it doesn't matter but they do work. I use it all the time. If it doesn't work for you sorry about that but it works for everyone I have shown it to. Are you just looking for an argument?
Also it does in fact suck out their saliva because there is often a small amount of liquid and occasionally blood. They also deflate and heal very quickly.
Whatever the mechanism is it works. I have used mine hundreds of times.
I think O blood types get bit more? I don't know if that's true but I get devoured by mosquitos every time I go outside and my friends don't haha
You inspire me so much 💖 💖
always so good to watch your vlogs !xoxo from France
My main trick to going longer between washes is French braiding!!
You are so inspiring to me!!! Love your videos!!!
thank you so so much 💛
You should get a citronella plant for your balcony! They keep the mosquitos away!
love the clothes! What if you wear that last pink one with some denim shorts and kinda tucked it!
I love the videos! I’m wondering what playlist is on this video?
I just came across your channel and what’s cool is that my boyfriend’s family has a golden retriever named “Cash Money”! You have such a cute dog & I love your content!
I have a video of our “Cash” on my channel. He’s a therapy dog as well! 😄❤️
Tip for short dresses: wear high rise biker shorts underneath and voila !
I live in California but whenever I traveled to humid midwest states, I would eat a banana a day in advance and take Vitamin B6 and/or Vitamin B12 to prevent bug bites. It worked. It might also have to do with your diet.
For your hair, use dry shampoo but just make sure to exfoliate your scalp at least once a week to get rid of any build up - then it should be an issue!
this is a greta tip! do you have a favorite product for exfoliating your scalp?
I always get bit by mosquitoes and spiders. No perfume, hairspray, any faint sent. Bugs like that.
Love your videos so so much!
get a citronella candle to put outside to deter mosquitoes :)
Love these videos!
Yes I have oily hair and it is very difficult to not wash it as often as I wish. Dry shampoo does not help me. I just do a braid or a bun.
Anyone has any suggestions?
For the mosquito bites, try taking a garlic supplement! It’s so weird, but my family swears it works haha
Hi Michelle, sending you love from France 🙂
Could you please tell us the brand of the maxidress from your nuuly order? I love it so much!
I love your pink dress! You look like Elle Woods of Legally Blonde!😍
haha big Legally Blonde fan, thank you 💛
Hey Michelle!
I was just wondering do you know the brand of the dresser you got off of Facebook marketplace!
Can't wait to watch this ❤
hope you enjoy it, Rachael!
when things are too short i just wear bike shorts underneath. i feel more comfortable and i don't need to worry about showing my underwear, plus it doesn't really show and it gives me peace of mind
