Michele, long time lurker. As a man, I don’t know, I think it’s weird for me to comment and interact. But I discovered your channel during the first lockdown and you kept me company. I miss the East Coast (Philly native, live in Athens Greece for 25 years now) and your voice is just right and it was great when I was catching up on all your videos and I could do housework with “company”. Anyway, long comment but I just wanted to say that you totally won me over again when you mentioned Cheez Doodles. My favorite snack too and they haven’t been called Cheez Doodles for decades but I still call them Crunchy Cheez Doodles to this day! Total cookie fiend too! Please keep the vlogs coming, I wait all week!

[@teacheschem]

This is so sweet!! And now you’ve made me hungry!

[@reneklein6049]

Philly native here as well! ❤

[@patpatmoomoo5524]

I think it’s so cool to watch just for “company” while doing other stuff

[@NathaHarleyGaga]

@pooh3737 Not weird at all in my opinion, cheese doodles I was trying to figure out what they were until she said Cheetos! 🤗🙏💜❤️

[@5ftNothing]

It's not weird for you to comment at all. I know exactly how you feel about getting that 'back at home' feeling again.

“Don’t do anything you’re gonna regret and don’t regret anything you’ve done.” I LOVE that!!

I’m not a luxury beauty consumer but I’ve been really enjoying your blogs and talks. I can relate to you on so many things and find you inspiring. ❤

[@susansandler8429]

This was fun! You are fun! And so down to earth. Like a wonderful warm friend. Enjoyed your sayings and wisdom around motivation. Thank you!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you so much!

I really love the long content from you, so calm and I just let it play while doing my thing, it's like having a friend talking next to me when I am busy.

I lived in Manhattan for 28 years. Agree about Raoul's. One of the best restaurants in Manhattan. The other is Scalinatella on 61st street, just off Lexington. Italian (Northern, I think). They have a menu but will make almost anything you want. The gelatos for dessert are incredible. Love this restaurant.

[@clanceyhopper1178]

I am so ready to see your advent calendars for this year 😊

[@TheMicheleWang]

[@luluq01]

Two things that resonated with me- My stepson has had similar stomach issues for a couple of decades. On their trip to Italy, he was symptom free the whole time. Same thing when they went to Costa Rica. The food in the US contains many ingredients that are banned in Europe. Secondly, about working out- I am 72 years old. I slept very badly last night and developed quite a headache. I knew I would regret not working out so I did. Headache gone and body aches subsided. Priorities!

[@itsmenack0920]

I feel the same about working out. For me, telling myself “stop stalling and just go” and this works better than any fancy motivations.

[@pomme800]

Let's call it "Quiet Travelling" , quite like Quiet Luxury....and I'm all for it!. Living like the locals, day to day life...no sweat-soaked scurrying for trains, planes and automobiles....see what I did there?..no, really...to airbnb an apartment in Paris ..in September or May for a month and live your "Michèle life" fully or a house in Provence, Tuscany or Puglia, slightly off-season ...Yes, yes and yes ❣Love you Michèle 😉 you are great company...

[@alenkabernard5819]

[@debranaumczik6286]

Thank you, its just like a lot of a house for two people, like the honestly and give it all time . ❤

[@danielleficek]

I have the same issue with eyeshadow. I definitely recommend using an eyeshadow primer. My all-time favorite is from Nars; it's a universal "clear" color. Drugstore option: Milani Eyeshadow Primer, really good. If you want something with more coverage, I use MAC paintpot in Painterly (heavier in coverage but also really good). I don't like the feeling of concealer on my eyelids.

[@thegentleknitter]

Another vote for MAC paintpot in painterly!

[@judithdeprisco9364]

You would love being in Europe for extending periods of time. I was fortunate enough to spend a year in Florence during undergraduate school and a year in England during grad school, which allowed me to travel throughout those countries. I can honestly say that having extra time on your hands is the best way to explore a country, meet and appreciate the people and be astonished at the variety each country offers, including public transportation. Spending a month away now is much easier with the advent of BNB and the like. Just DO it - you’ll never regret it. Thanks for a fun vlog!

[@maureenturk8578]

For the person who asked about other fav luxury beauty You Tubers, I would add Lexi Jong (superb swatches, comparisons, brush expert) and Allison Chase (MUA, Chanel and Dior expert). Definitely worth a look see. Also love Abby Bliss White and Everyday Edit if you are 50+, as they have great advice for mature skin.

[@landcraftwellness9850]

I totally second Alison Chase and Abby Bliss White.

[@teacheschem]

For me- Yes to ice cream No to cooked fruit as well! Our food Chem class went to visit one of Danny Meyer’s restaurants and they were amazing in their treatment of us- showed us some techniques and explained some science to us.

[@maggie2234]

just a bit of insight from an Italian subscriber of yours... 🇮🇹 Jes, food is AWESOME and VERY HEALTHY and incredibly different in every single part of the country. 😋 but, as far as "to live in a town" for some (long) time: forget Florence (& Venice). They are so full of tourists 365 days a year, there is no way to actually appreciate "ordinary" life. and then... anywhere else is fine, it just depends on your taste! enjoy, in case you decide to! ❤😢

[@patriciadebord1089]

Love the look. You look glamorous.

[@TheFlip_Side]

I am from the south and one thing I’m grateful for is our well. I lived in the city and other places, former military, but I’m also almost 10 acres. My next investment is a whole house generator. A good friend of mine has one for his house and it’s amazing. Good luck with everything and thank you for keeping me company during Saturday cleaning.

[@michmellowcat]

I LOVE this. As one who shares your same spelling of name (Michele with ONE L, not two, hahaha), also knits with passion, loves the beauty world, and am Asian, your chats always resonates with me. Thank you.

[@elizabethhan911]

I am dealing with a colleague conflict lately and what you said about being able to say what you need to get across in a nice way always really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing!

I hope you do more AMA’s! Great questions!!!

[@marionandrews176]

Michele, we have a lot in common from food preferences, tummy issues (US food is horrible compared to EU quality) and our love of NYC (I’m still living here). My niece went to high school in LIC around the time I think you lived there. I was amazed at how beautifully they developed the area. I still head there for restaurants, etc. Thanks for the chat. It’s always nice to “get to know you” a bit more.

[@drlessismore]

We really need to do this more often ❤❤❤

[@sueroth6686]

Thank you for posting. I have the same stomach issues as you - it doesn’t matter what I eat, my stomach is not happy. I love both of your sayings. Thanks for sharing

[@monicabellmakeup]

The way I screamed when you said, "I don't really like cooked fruit"... I tell people that, in exactly the same halting way with caveats to follow, all the time. I've never heard anyone else put it that way! 😂😂

[@betsybabf748]

I agree with you about long-form content and community. I keep seeing your home and thinking how beautiful it is with all the white. Then I remember I have 5 children and white's not a good idea for me lol.

[@Dkb522]

I have eaten Cheetos twice this week, thank you for validating my poor choices! There is something about those damn thing, so bad but so good. Super fun vlog, always love you content, thanks Michele!❤

To prevent your eyelids color changing I use a eyelid primer! Works great.

[@melissamccoy3754]

I love Drift and Speedway eye shadows from Sydney Grace. Very pretty, cool browns. I shy away from warm tans/browns on my eyes and they make such good shadows. You can make a custom palette!

[@LizLyonsPhD]

As a native NYer I always say, when asked where I am from, "New York City, living in Los Angeles". Nothing compares to NY and I have lived abroad, in London, in Sao Paulo, in Geneva, but NYC is it! Probably the depth and seriousness of East Coasters is what I value most. When I moved to LA I had been an Assistant Professor at NYU and arrived in a beach-blanket-bingo town of Manhattan Beach. I was in shock. Love to visit Vegas and am just floating here in LA, but NY is my home and my heart.

[@christinaoconnell7476]

What a treat this was! Aways such a pleasure to spend time with you Michele!

[@janelemberg2723]

I agree. Gramercy Tavern & Union Square Cafe were our "go to' fancy dining places or anything Danny Meyer does or did.

[@TheMicheleWang]

He's the best!! 😃

[@janelemberg2723]

@@TheMicheleWang Absolutely. I wish he had restaurants ( other than Shake Shack) in New Jersey. It’s so meh here. The only place worth dining at is Drew’s Bayshore Bistro in Keyport. It is on par with Danny’s places.

[@mommasglamtoo]

We always owned a home, since we were 24, so at first since the home was new we were good. After 2019, which was 8 years in, we were constantly buying new appliances repairs etc. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. And living in west Texas were we haven’t gotten a lot of water, ever 😅, we’ve had to recycle the water. From the shower it goes out to the trees, from our washer. And we’re trying to do the sink from the kitchen. But I hear you.

[@FlaviaMacciantelli]

We love your 'spot' in the kitchen Michele!! ❤

[@suzannesmith56]

On the eyeshadow issue, you may want to try the ABH primer. It’s white in color and may help neutralize the warmth in your skin/eyeshadow. Loved the video!

[@nataliad1853]

The new Prada Foundation is really good. I can recommend it.

I too was looking for the perfect grey/brown eyeshadow. Couldn't find it anywhere. I have a friend who sells Mary Kay cosmetics. I've never been a fan, but I asked her if she had a mushroomy grey/brown shade and she did. It's perfect. The shade is Cashmere Haze. It's the right color and a great formulation. I think you'd like it. I enjoy your vlogs very much. Take care.
