Negative body image is something that haunts us throughout life. Acceptance starts with our own positivity and ends with supporting each other.

[@zainebhidoussi1498]

couldn't agree more

[@absolutelynotz]

i definitely agree 🤍

[@subhadrarai7725]

Definitely true and motivational

[@dalenatran6290]

Beautifully said!!

[@Alicia-fy3je]

This. We all go through it.. even the people, who, in our eyes look seemingly perfect. Supporting one another is the absolute best way to go. I loved this comment.

[@yourbigsis]

This girl gives me life

[@hudibaahmad]

Most agreeable statement ever

[@hiilanihaumea]

Agreed🫰🏻❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🥰🥹

[@usagichannel]

me,too♥️♥️♥️

[@sarabratzbradford]

sameee, love her. Such a chill vibe❤️

"Being patient and nice to your self and body " - Michelle, 2023 yes girl! And also this will be my motto for the whole year. As a woman who has naturally skinny body, I was so insecure as I grow up since elementary up to college days. Living in a country that the standard body size would be between slim and chubby. People would always notice me for being skinny same when I applying jobs instead of seeing my skills and qualifications. But now, I slowly accept myself without thinking those criticisms. What's important is being healthy and contented with what you have. Meesh you'll always be my inspiration. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience here in your channel.

[@myspace9494]

😊❤

[@poppycalliope]

Things people say can sometimes stick with you. By working on ourselves and accepting ourselves we can slowly overcome any insecurity we have. A beautiful vlog Michelle ❤

[@TracieBrennan-om6di]

Always hot when baddies check each other out. ✨️💋

[@vrcorral7451]

The way she hugged herselfffff michoi is just naturally cute 😢❤

[@iiitscamille2467]

I practice “what other people's opinion about is none of my business” - since it's something out of my control and also ‘people always have something to say’ - so just live the life you want Meesh! 🫰🏻 Good vibes! 💕

[@PriscillaSB]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@froiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Michelle’s vlogs just give me so much peace.

[@dbflcho]

Thank you for sharing Michelle. After the idea of being "too skinny" struck my head, I stress about it constantly. People are often insensitive about making comments about someone being too thin when putting on weight is as hard as losing it. Hopefully I can be better at accepting myself and not worrying too much about what others might think. Thank you for being an inspiration

[@milkbread5036]

I’ve been both overweight and skinny throughout my life. Being told I’m "too thin", "you should eat cake", was just as hurtful as being told I’m too fat. Yet people think it’s ok to comment on being skinny, thinking it doesn’t hurt when it does as much as being called fat…

[@mishcageorge]

Your videos always brings me peace and I look forward to when you post all the time❤️

[@whitneysommer2351]

Loved this video! Thanks for talking about your insecurities since we can all relate some way or another. Sending you and Dobby lots of love! 💜

[@90sstargirl]

You’re such pleasant company for me today on this warm sunny day🫶🏼

[@dolkarrrrr]

love you michelle thank u for always being so genuine💗💗

[@md.mohiuddin7676]

The things u say u do is something that creates soothing feelings and magic❤

[@gillt5177]

Thank you for a relaxing and peaceful vlog. You are so genuine and a pleasure to watch🌷

[@_ashleyyylim]

couldn't agree more with good weather + good company! so much good vibes in this week's vlog 💗

[@eggcloud5144]

michelle's influence,, i immediately bought a denim skirt like hers bc i'm in love with her style 😍

[@christinenguyen8946]

Everyone talks about how they want to lose weight, the struggles and insecurities on that. Barely anyone talks about the opposite, the struggles with being skinny or actually wanting to gain weight. I can totally relate to this. Been struggling with myself forever and still do. Really glad you talked about it. And it’s true, you are your own harshest critic. It’s always a work in progress to love yourself and your body. We grow thicker skin and learn to accept some things we cannot change. As long as you’re healthy and happy.

[@TheMadsonLimpopoVlogger]

❤ I don't know how to express how much I enjoy your vlogs. Thank you so much for sharing parts of yourself here 💕

[@Sara-yv6po]

you have no idea how special and necessary you are in our lives ❤

[@celina1547]

You make me embrace my introvert personality even more. I thank you for that!

[@Aminaasergelen]

you’ve inspired and fueled me to try vlogging 🥺 It’s really beautiful to see how you are doing and just simply enjoying life! ❤️❤️

[@katscozycorner]

Thank you! 🙏 Being nicer to myself is something I struggle with as well, I am my own harshest critic. But you are absolutely right 💜

[@mvglt]

thank you for you michelle 🫶

[@itsnadiaa]

It is definitely a very common experience for comments that were made to us in high school or earlier having such a strong impact on us even when we are adults. We just learn with time to be gentler and more accepting towards ourselves but this is also a constant work in progress 🥰

[@gabrielagamez640]

Your dog looks so much like one of my dogs that passed away last year, it makes me very happy to see that you go out with her for a walk and take care of her. 💗💗

[@monikarjain2654]

I was insecure tooo abt the way I looked but now I m in love with myself as u said, Michael you are like a home for us❤love u

[@elahbayan7094]

You just inspired me to love myself even more. You made me realize that I shouldn't let other people define me as a person and to not let the negativity consume my soul. ❤

[@salma-yq7wn]

your vlog has always been my healing time but recently i went through a bad bad breakup after 8 years of relationship and your vlog keeps me company and smile even just for a while, thank you!

[@NYC.2019]

I love you Michelle! You’re so young and smart! Yes, do not let anyone tell you otherwise. I’m in my early 40’s and I’m learning from you regarding self love. Even took advice from about mental health routine. Thank you. ❤

[@williamtinley9222]

Can I say how much I love the ending of this video! I also love the background music which adds authenticity and truth to what you’ve said!

[@allyssasheik3260]

so happy you're having almost weekly vlogs huhu

[@thatgodlybabe]

Thank you Michelle for speaking up about body image. This really helped me. Now, I’d be more kind to myself knowing that my body is beautiful and I can’t really do much to change it ❤❤

[@Aikaterina18]

It hit me right in the gut, when Michelle said about being hardest on herself - girl, I do the same! Will work on it.

[@frngodoy]

Thank you for being who you are ❤

[@mmiakim]

i cannot explain how much it has helped hearing you talk about your body image & relationship with health/eating. even though i don't have quite the same issues, it really helped me realize how everyone is so much more critical of themselves than we need to be. you've really helped with my own image of self-love. thank you!! ❤

[@warmbreeze43]

Same girl. Boys said those things to me. It stays with you. You are beautiful inside first, then outside. Don’t change how you look unless you want the change. Good vlog

[@patriciagracyguamico6043]

The fact that i cry my eyes out at the end of the vid😢 tq for raising awareness towards body positivity

[@feds7711]

thank you for sharing this michelle. I grew up with people always commenting about me being 'too skinny', and that left a silent mark on the way I viewed my body for years. Fast forward, and now I am so grateful and proud of my body, my own sanctuary, despite the memories those words left back in the day. In the end, we are the ones who have the power to accept and care for our body with so much love, only us.

[@Lina_5_]

I am so happy because you upload so often ! You make my day ! ❤❤❤

[@LinaChoi]

I totally agree I think as long as you’re happy that’s all it matter somebody will judge you even you’re perfect

[@silverapplepiebyiris]

Your videos make me so excited to be visiting NYC in one month! 😊

[@user-bi1hx3dt8k]

I ve actually seen all your videos on youtube they are amazing i dont feel bored even i watched almost 7 OR 10 videos per day you are productive and realistic the main point you show us even things could bother thats kind of power and strengh also you dont let the viewer thinks that you are perfect and that makes us accept ourselves and helps us i just want to mention that we have to accept ourselves as we are and then we could change some details to be healthier because we are not perfect we have to change somewhat in us however keep going michelle we love you so much you are great love you from MOROCCO

[@Vivarouge]

Michelle I just love your videos and always look forward to them ❤

[@christinel2359]

Please do a hair curling routine! I love how effortless your curls look and i am wanting to get more use out of my Dyson!

[@gracecanlas]

My dog is crate trained and we put a blanket over his crate to make it feel more like a den-I’d recommend doing this! Also, when we were training our dog, we would treat him when we closed the door so he would associate being in his crate positively.

[@xxmwa1355]

the little hug in the end 😂😂😂 everytime you upload, life begins to be life again ily michelle

[@lydoo2237]

I think you are perfect just the way you are & you are my favorite youtuber for a reason, so I just wanna say how great you are 💕💕💕

[@Amateur3198]

I don't know about others but Michelle is giving us this vibe that so cosy to watch & just relax & forget the problem we have 🤗🤭❣️

[@jeseniadiaz4762]

Your videos are like so relaxing. I’m watching it this Sunday morning in bed. Body image insecurity I believe is something everyone goes through. Since being a kid I always struggled with feeling too skinny especially once I entered junior high when all the girls were starting to develop. I was a late bloomer. I used to like this boy and my friend told him and he was like no I don’t like her she’s too short and skinny. That made me so insecure. Till this day it still bothers me when people comment on my weight.

[@reveluv_pnyny]

When I am lonely and watch Michelle unnie, I am not alone evermore because I have the comfort zone ❤

[@sanwattana6690]

I’ve been watching your videos for two weeks. Loveeee ❤❤

[@vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv_vvvv]

omg tony bianco! always my go to for shoes i need for a special occasion! as someone based in sydney it is so surreal hearing the brand from someone beyond here!

[@KollieKole]

Hey boo!! Hello from Houston again! I jus love your content. We are so different, but so familiar at the same time. I enjoy your content so much. Eff the world. What you feel about yourself is all that’s important. If they don’t see it, then what a blessing…u don’t have to deal with the foolishness! My mama taught me that!

[@tsavikalishohe2712]

Love you Michelle. Your vlogs are the best , can't wait for the next

[@emmy8526]

Kitchen gadget tip: I recommend Swissmar vegetable peelers (works for apples too). Just peels off a thin top layer real quick!

[@mabdamn]

michelle, i really love all your outfits in this video! if you don't mind, can you please make us a video about your outfit of the week or outfit ideas for summer? 🥺 i'm happy in this video you did a small fit check so i can screenshoot for my outfit inspiration, thankyou pretty michelle 😻 sorry if my english bad, english is my second language 😔 i love u michelle and all of you guys!

[@gogontlesetlhare]

We really have to shut out the noise and focus on being nicer with ourselves. There's so much grace in allowing yourself to just be and not worry about always being perfect to the T

[@milkbread5036]

I get so excited when you upload! My all time comfort KZbinr ❤

[@mandy-hv2fx]

크리스틴님도 브이로그 해줬으면 좋겠어요ㅎㅎ뭔지 모루겠는데 너무 유쾌하고 빨려들어가는 매력이😂❤

[@parada6408]

I loved this solution for picking up hair from the floor... in many hotels it's what they use after vacuuming to make sure there's no hair. super practical

[@neimazita.]

Os vlogs da Michelle deixam-me muito inspirada a aproveitar a vida simples com leveza 🌸💗✨

[@carolpadilha2332]

Vlog: a / Michelle: the weather is so nice

[@nicoled4416]

Omg the roller brush is such a good idea!

[@salma9728]

The self hug at the end is everythinggg 🥹🫂

[@ChocoBunny0001]

you are so beautiful inside and out, and remember every person on this planet looks unique, and has a different body type and shape. no one is perfect. people that shame you are insecure about themselves. being human and you is what makes you beautiful. someone doesnt remember just your body when they meet you. they remember your smile, your attitude, and thats whats important. being kind and yourself

[@Imtilaalaa]

That was a breath of fresh air on this hot hot summer day. ☀️ Thank you Michelle. 🌸

[@modhi3268]

I always study, watch and feel happy I love you very much and thank you 🤍

[@minkyungkim5285]

Was in the hunt for pre pro and post biotic!! Just ordered and can’t wait to try them out 😊

[@hanz8014]

The roller sticky brush is so cool !! I will get one to solve the hair issue.

[@nine8195]

Im always so excited for ur vlog

[@jenaflor]

12:37 I literally had an emotional breakdown to my bf the other night about how I felt about myself and I didn’t realize how hard I’ve been to myself about my body. There’s honestly no bigger critic than yourself and it’s true. In my teenage years and early 20’s, I was constantly comparing myself and now I’m here just making sure to be better to myself one day at a time. Thank you for always keeping it real and genuine 🫶🏻 P.S. your skin is gloooowing 😍

[@HenriPlass]

Please always keep showing us the household things u get! U always have the best random gadgets🤯😆 (like the sticky roller...)

[@jenniferkim8012]

Great talk about body insecurities! I can totally relate. Keep doing you,

[@ma-lesrrno493]

no need to worry about your body. we are all created differently and we need to embrace our individuality. stop comparing yourself to others coz you look great Michelle!

[@Nganthebread]

hey Michelle! I recommend getting a floor vacuum (ex: zoomba) to help with floor hairs/pet hairs! we got one for my family and omg never going back. you can even program it to run automatically too. we hardly ever use the vacuum anymore unless its for tight corners/detailing. hope this helps!

[@Rana46611]

꺅 미셸님 영상과 함께하는 토요일 아침 너무 좋쟈냐🥹🧡 ( 10:33 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋreason why I use potato peeler😂)

[@nancytsai4724]

Michelle, please tell us what consignment shop you guys ended up at in the earlier part of your day! Looked fab!! TYSM!

[@povjin]

michelle!! your videos mean so much to me and i value how honest you are abt your own struggles. i relate so much and i just want to thank you for everything you do. you are beautiful

[@yerinizsinging]

Yay!!!!❤ A weekend present is here yall🎉

[@nijahlynch1589]

Thanks for uploading, Michelle. ❤

[@estasieberia]

What a beautiful flowers bouquet!❤

[@wiemkhcharem7439]

u look amazing and u don't need others affirmation not to mention that u inspire others wich is very beautiful and important

[@anywayanyhow]

Please vlog how you do your hair! I like it so much!

[@sora-mk7ul]

I related a lot to your story about getting comments on having a "too small" chest or being too "boney" or skinny since I also experienced that when I grew up and it still has an effect on me to this day. I never saw myself to be womanly enough which affected a lot of my early relationships. It weird how a small comment from someone who probably forgot about it 10 seconds later can have such a severe impact on yourself for many many years. When you hugged yourself at the end of the video, it made me smile and I gave myself a hug as well. Thank you for this great video or message at the end!

[@marteumar8429]

She was talking about breast not chest. Why do Anglo women keep using the word chest for breast? Are you ashamed of your body of something? Someone with small chest has a narrow torso, one with big chest a wide torso. Big or small breast is something else. Breast =/= chest.

[@ainou2001]

Your experience in elementary is the exactly what I went through too!

[@hadjer_ben]

I just wanna say I love u and u always made my days with ur vlogs and ur sweet words 🫶🏻🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@mariyamfida9089]

not gone lie but your my comfort person♥just by watching your vlog i feel happy and your vlog always give me peace✨and i love you and i will always💝and your style is just chef kiss💗and like your literally your so pretty even when your zoning out 😁

[@xeniacharmainesaluib6824]

Michelle's vibe now is just so adorable. Like opening up to the fans & viewers more & how we get to see how jolly & just carefree she is sometimes is just so adorable. Michelle, I hope you're able to read this but, you're evolving. I mean, in a much more positive way. Thanks for showing us the other sides of youuu! 🥰 Love you!!!

[@tessvazques4093]

omggggg the sticky roller for the hair !!! Yessss 😫

[@razinamarjan1110]

Thank you for the talk n vlog 💛💛 Honestly I've grown up with people commenting about everything, my skin colour, weight, name, n just achievements... Tbh it doesn't really stick much, but once in a while it does pinch, n it doesn't heal... But having 5 amazing siblings, you learn how to deal with criticism... Because all of us are different and my biggest supporters are my parents n siblings... As much as we would tease and diss each other, they will be ready to take a bullet for me so I've learnt over the years that other people's views do not matter for a second for me 😎 hope all of u feel loved ❤😊

[@__yeonnniii]

Michelle, I really like your videos and your lifestyle🥹🥹 My last two months had been so hectic and hadn’t really had time to watch your videos, but I’m back!! 😂♥️♥️♥️♥️ xoxo from Korea!

[@annyeong0036]

Since my last semester in college ppl keep on commenting about me getting skinny and comparing me with my other batchmates weight gain. Then I ended up avoiding ppl who knew me before college just so I can't hear the same remark anymore. Thanks for reminding us Ms. Michelle to be nice to our body and ourselves🥺

[@crazybotches236]
