VLOG: Solo Dates, Touring a $1.2 M Austin House, Vintage Shopping + Childhood Videos

[@JYYB]

As a mom I do solo dates too! Lol It’s more of going shopping or having some me time. It’s much needed when watching kids 24/7. Solo dates and me time are fun!

[@ValeriaRhodes]

I applaud this ❤️

[@SamWest96]

Right?! My husband and I have scheduled now that we both get a day off a month to be by ourselves and do whatever. So good for the mental health!

[@MichelJanse]

This is incredible :-)

[@Auriel5]

I am in love with this channel! Thank you for sharing a peak of your childhood with us, Michel! ❤️

[@emily_257]

Omg the theme song changes! I’ve been binging your videos. I never ever liked vlogs but idk something about you:) and I sing the intro song! I DONT KNOW YOU BUT I WANT TO 🎶🎼🎵

[@missjackson1014]

You inspire me so much. In many ways. I’ve never been on a solo date. Shopping sure, but to sit and eat alone? Never. I think it’s healthy. I’m 6 months out of a 4 year relationship. I’m used to having someone by my side. I really want to conquer that. Love your content!

[@Sylvia1976]

You look adorable and definitely see your personality hadn't change since you were little! Very cute.

[@7BillionReasons]

It’s so weird to feel proud of a stranger. But I genuinely love the energy you are putting out and I hope you really are feeling that great! You remind me of one of my closest friends and I can’t help but imagine we’d be friends if we had crossed paths

I am so glad you are coming to my state! I live in Alabama. And Steve Irwin’s daughter is Bindi and yes she had a little girl.

[@chrissiedcohen]

Thank you for sharing your JOY with us!🤩

I personally loved the little Michel section. So cute!!

[@elizabetht7420]

Love this blog!! The solo dates and your friend!! ❤️❤️🙏🏼

[@hsoderberg6505]

I've read some pretty negative things about houses being turned into vacation rentals. In some areas, they make it difficult for locals to find affordable housing and can ruin neighborhoods.

[@MegaSmashtastic]

THIS. I had to comment this too, especially with the state of housing and homelessness right now this is very important to amplify.

[@jeanniekartis5916]

Yes, dislike airbnb's , glad my neighborhood does not allow str's.

[@farahkhan2364]

My grandfather passed away a few years ago and my mom would really appreciate something like this with her home videos when she was growing up in the 70s-90s because she misses him so much. To see him smile or hear his voice would mean the world to her and I think this can be such a meaningful present to celebrate his life and see him again in a way she hasn’t in a while. My boyfriends parents had their wedding video on a tape and it was filmed over if that makes sense and it’s stuck in the player. I want to take apart the player and get it out and do this for them as well. His mom really wants to see her wedding video again which she hasn’t watched in a long time and it would mean so much to her. I wanted to thank you for sharing these little moments with us and showing us this amazing idea 😍🥺

[@KimberlyPenny22]

Omgosh the childhood video! 😭😭 Sooo cute! I’m just about to have my first baby and this literally brought all the feels and happy tears. ♥️ Thank you for sharing it!!

[@lisebelanger1692]

It's good that you're doing your solo dates again, I do that while shopping at times, when I get ready to go out my husband now asks me "am I going with you" and I'll tell him no, this time is just for me, and he completely understands. And the house prices in Austin remind me of Toronto, same thing, insane prices.

[@humanperson3168]

Omg yes I feel that, born and raised on lakeshore till 15 then hick town near Cambridge and Guelph

[@kristincastaneda1395]

I really don't love being a naysayer, and I really enjoy this channel! But I just had a very negative experience with Legacybox, and wanted to share this since it's such a fresh experience. Legacybox really messed up some irreplaceable mini VHS cassettes from my childhood, and there's really nothing I can do to get that footage back at this point. I will say their customer support is good, and they did offer me a partial refund for the damaged originals, but that footage is still lost. The transfer process was unsuccessful, so now I have choppy/incomplete footage, and originals are damaged from the mailing process. It really was such a sad experience, I know lots of people experience success with them but I'm definitely an outlier and wish I'd known that there really isn't any protection if your originals are messed up in the mailing process. I live in Texas, so heat can also be an issue - just something to keep in mind! I love Michel's channel and definitely want her to make revenue, I just also wish I'd known this about Legacybox before I sent out home videos that came back damaged 😢. Do your due diligence, look at a bunch of reviews first, and please be aware of the risk of mailing originals.

[@blueseptember2174]

Oo sorry that happened. Might be good to make a copy before sending in just in case it seems.

[@le4905]

@@blueseptember2174 But how do you make a VHS copy?

[@blueseptember2174]

@@le4905 they used to make a vhs and DVD combo player. I have one(it's ancient by today standard). You can record to DVD. Don't know if they still sell these.

[@andreas_adventures]

Partial refund?! that's kind of shocking if the originals were damaged and the transfer didn't even work properly.

[@kristincastaneda1395]

@@blueseptember2174 Sadly they were all mini-vhs (like the small cassette type), and I had no way of digitizing or copying them at home. I could play them on my parents' old camcorder and show the footage on the tv when hooked up to an HDMI, but I wanted them digitized for long-term preservation. I think my experience with Legacybox may be an outlier, but I just wish I'd known/researched the risks of mailing such personal and irreplaceable media. I'm so happy it worked out well for Michel and that she got all her footage back in tact!

[@kelseysmith3297]

Watching this and doing yoga is my solo date with myself tonight. Kinda cheating cause we're all friends here, but your vlogs always bring me such joy. 😊🌻

[@MichelJanse]

I love this so much!🥹🫶🏻

[@alaynakaufman1848]

Oh my gosh I’m in Alabama!! I hope you’re going to Mountain Brook or Homewood or Springville, that would be so cool! I have been following you for years so this makes me very happy ♥️

[@lynxlou]

Such a fun vlog! Loved seeing baby Michel!

[@Shop-Girl]

I remember when I was going to therapy when I was young, probably your age, and the counselor said, learn to enjoy your own company, if you can’t enjoy yourself it is likely people won’t enjoy you either, and I have found that to be true for me….I love me!!! Love you friend 😘😘

[@charlenesmith209]

OMG the home videos are grand!!! And t I love the song you added to it!! Awesome!!

[@IndianaNana1]

so nice to see you so happy. the first video I watched of yours was the full story of your divorce. It just popped up in my feed. I've been hooked ever since.

[@nianjugu1787]

[@liliesofthefield5310]

The home movies are so sweet, it looks like you had a fun childhood 💕 the concealer/tinted moisturizer combo looks so nice, if it gets too dewy, maybe you could use a bit of translucent powder? I want to try that self tanner now, it looks so natural

[@innocentphilip6245]

Your style and color is good. your channel is great.

[@stone.durfey5862]

After 2 bad relationships. I would never want to go back, and do over. Nope to be single, is all I want. Last night it came to me that I no longer believe in love...or that I was never meant to marry. At 65 , I just want to be free to be me. No more struggle to find that someone to love and be loved. I have the love of God...and parents waiting in Heaven, my favorite aunt, and family members gone on ahead waiting for me. This is what my heart is looking forward to. To real love, that can't be tainted or lost. The kind of love only found in God.😊

[@dianaallen5700]

Do they still do free concerts at Zilker Park? If so, they've been doing that for a while. I lived there in 1978 and used to go there for them. Also loved Barton Springs pool. Is that still there? I remember it was beautiful and COLD. Good grief....I feel OLDER THAN DIRT....1978 🤪

[@AymanA24]

How did you make all of these new friends since you moved to a new city? It would be really helpful to know. I recently just moved to a new place and I am having trouble connecting with others.

Great video of your childhood. Spending times outdoors connecting barefoot with the earth is so good for you. Here in Morgantown, WV also has been experiencing those vivid colored skies it was actually daylight here til like 9:30p.m. Sadly all those rainbow colors were probably from the chem trails.
