MINI VLOG: sometimes I feel like I have nothing to give (+ a productive day in the life)

[@teresadreamer8554]

Let me just say from my point of view . I am 60 years old I love all you do. You have taught this old dog new tricks😊. You show me the parts of the world I would never see. Plus life through your eyes is awesome. I look forward to your blogs, your sip and thrift . The love you have with family,friends and jordy and max. You make me happy 😊❤please keep up the great work

[@sour.violet]

Michel, you start every video with, “Hi, friends,” and I’d like to share my input from the perspective of a friend. Sometimes all a person needs is someone to keep them company. Personally, I don’t need to benefit or take something away from a video for me to want to watch it. Sometimes it’s the personality, authenticity, and overall vibe from a KZbinr that attracts me to the video. And it’s THOSE things that allow me to keep an open mind when you do bring something ‘of value,’ like a brand-specific video, Sponsorship, or whatever it may be. The way you show up every week being your true self is enough. There are so many different ways to bring value to a person. I know you’ve talked about this topic before and I so wish you could see how much value you bring by just showing up. ❤

[@MichelJanse]

Oh my goodness 🥹🥹 This is so sweet thank you for saying this friend!!🤍🤍

[@molly_frances]

I’m so glad you brought this up. I love content creators who show up as a friend to the people who truly need a friend. That’s the biggest value in my mind. ❤

[@chefmarianrene5251]

🎯💯

[@juliewells4282]

I think sometimes it’s okay to just bring you to the video. You are company to so many of us and that’s more than enough. I don’t think everyone expects that a profound thought or valuable insight must be shared in every video. We just like hanging out with you. That is enough.

[@Lea2008-k8b]

Michel, I watch your videos because of you and the way you share snippets of your life. I have come to understand that social media can be hard, cruel, and sometimes exhausting. I also have learned that there are some wonderful people too. I realize this is your livelihood, and you have to adapt to that. I enjoy just spending a few minutes with my friend in California. I enjoy seeing what she feels comfortable sharing, most importantly seeing you so happy. Enjoy this moment in time, take a break when you need it, those that care about you will understand. I do love when you go thrift shopping, and find things you love , ❤

[@MichelJanse]

Wow thank you so much for sharing Lea! Truly means so so much to me🤍🤍

[@ChelseaSteppMusic]

It’s funny how it worked out because the VALUE you are bringing here is “it is OKAY to just have a normal day with no added value.” 😊❤️

[@XoCortanaXo]

This! 👆 ❤

[@Shop-Girl]

I just want to say, when you post a video, it brings value to my life. Let me explain, there are days I am losing my mind, when I watch your videos, it calms me and brings me back to the here and now. For me that is valuable. There are always going to be people that want more from you, personally maybe it is time for them to move on. I admit, I have been watching you for long, the thought of you going away saddens me. I am 51 so I am not the normal age range that likely watches you. Basically you are still bringing value to some of us!! Love you friend. ❤❤

[@BabyLedWeaningCookbook]

You provide so many of us with a beautiful escape, that in itself is SO valuable. Thank you ❤

You just being you is beyond inspiring! You being you is above and beyond. Witnessing you create welcome baskets for your friends house sitting, tipping your friends well when they cut your hair, cleaning, being productive, loving your sweet fiancé… etc is so valuable and meaningful💗 those moments are some of my favorite parts of your vlogs✨

I love any kind of content you put out… I think a lot us are invested in your well being and we just like you! 💕 Hi from Boston, my husband and I are on vacation in Kennebunkport ME… one of your favorite places!

[@daniellemcconnico]

Here to say that even days you may not feel like you brought something “of value to the table,” you do by just existing. If I’ve had a hard day mom-ing or feeling overwhelmed, I watch one of your videos and it just brings me out of reality for a moment and brings me so much peace. So thank you for putting your life out there! 🤍

[@cpagoals]

Honestly sometimes the "mundane" or less spectacular content is more comforting because it makes me feel like my life is important too 🫶🏻 plus we adore YOU chica! It feels like we are friends and you add value to our lives! Oh my heart the montage 🫶🏻 I live 30 minutes from the beach in FL but I frequently read on the beach and it is so beautiful seeing that romanticized in your video!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you for saying all of this friend!! Truly so appreciated!!! 🤍🫶🏼Also reading on the beach!!!!! So fun!! 🥰 Also your life is SO IMPORTANT ALWAYS!!🤍🤍

[@dutches8384]

I personally still really liked this vlog! For me just watching a vlog so I can stop my mind from thinking an just enjoy and relax for a bit is enough. And therefore it has value to me! ❤

[@davidhorwood6741]

So appreciate everything you put into vlogs, like everything in life, some moments are not as deep and meaningful as others, and that is so ok.....❤

[@Agoraphobication]

Hi Michel! I completely understand the achiever mindset and wanting to bring something of value to the table in every video. I'm the same with my work and I think we both probably derive a lot of our self-worth from our jobs. However, as many other people have said, people love your channel because of you. I feel privileged that you share so much with us, as I do when my friends in real life are vulnerable with me and trust me with something sensitive, but at the same time I worry about you a bit because the pressure to share personal things to add value might lead you to share something you're not actually comfortable with other people knowing (the "wound versus scar" metaphor you mentioned). You seem like a truly good human being who's naturally generous, but it's okay to not share everything with us! We're strangers on the internet, after all, even though I'm sure many of us feel like we know you, and we do genuinely care about your well being. In one of your latest vlogs you mentioned wanting to keep church time sacred for you, and I was actually quite proud of you for putting that boundary in place for yourself. I'm so glad you're taking that time, and Sundays in general, just for you. We're happy to just hang out with you doing whatever, so don't feel any pressure from us :).

[@Lots2SmileAbout]

I think it's important to keep front of mind that sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is show up and be real -- even if that doesn't "seem" valuable on a checklist. For instance, that scramble bowl you made -- never thought to put that together before but I added it to my list of meal rotations to try. My biggest battle in life right now is coming up with 3 meals a day for 3 people. So you just sharing that ADDS VALUE to my life. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to orchestrate something you feel is valuable. We get ideas from how other people do things -- and that is inherently valuable.

[@mildreddiaz6435]

I appreciate everything you post about. You be surprise what you might think is low impact or not much could be what someone needed to see or hear that day. So don’t be hard on yourself your genuine and down to earth personality is what makes your post super special and enjoyable. It is easy to relate. And I personally find them very relaxing and formative. Thank you for all your efforts and hard work for giving always the best! And for bringing so much joy and peace to people you don’t even know. God bless🙏🥰

[@newdayscoming4270]

I love these videos, and your content doesn’t always have to have meaning. I’m sure we all would love to see you just being carefree and enjoying the day. You have come so far since I first started watching you, about four years ago. I’m tickled that you found your true love, and look so forward to watching your life bloom even bigger and better. Advice from this soon to be 65 yr old,…laugh a lot especially at the uhoh and bumps along the way. Life is too short to be worried about might be, go with the flow and always try new things. Big hugs.

[@cynthiabustamante2884]

I have a feeling you enjoy making gift baskets for other people. You are so kind and thoughtful. Flower tip- When you put the water in. Put just enough to cover all stems. It might not seem like enough water. Trust me it is. It makes the flower last much, much longer. Change water by 3rd day.

[@claudiahutchinson8583]

I agree, it is nice to see your day to day life and the value you provide in doing so might feel as if it is not worthwhile to you but to me there are subtleties that I very much enjoy. I would love to hear from you on gluten free advice (I’m gluten free) and would love to hear more about how you manage it and even some recipes. Thank you.

[@edithbuch4351]

I love your videos. I feel like youre a friend. You are the value. Whatever content it’s always great to

[@moodsmcgee8552]

I hate feeling like the one person that sees your point from the negative side. And I'm not trying to ask you to be uncomfortable but continue pushing boundaries. Seeing where your interests take you and what is abundant to you.

[@9384cows]

I agree with everyone. You brighten my day EVERYTIME we watch you. And you say ALOT every time. I look forward to you each time. So please don't feel bad that you have nothing because you have so much knowledge, ideas and hearing about your travels, you new house and your wedding are very exciting for all of us. You are such a joy! Please don't sell yourself short. ❤

[@bebabear1966]

You always bring value by being a great friend to all of us. Never discredit your worth!!! We love you.

[@sandynorris1250]

One thing that keeps me viewing your vlogs is that they are consistently well done, your content is always refreshing, and you have an honesty about you that you just can’t fake. The photography is gorgeous, you are easy on the eyes, and I think you should stay in show business to some extent because your “it” factor just shines through. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You are doing just fine.

[@mariamangion21]

Hi Michelle, I've been following you since you first moved to atx. I'm from atx born & raised & now I'm living in Houston, and NYC will be next lol... I just want to say that I've seen all your growth and I love it. Also, I just started my KZbin channel & idk if this might help you or not, but my why for my channel is so I have these memories to look back at and to have these videos on this platform so that when I'm older I can watch these with my family and just have something to look back at. The value doesn't have to be for us. It has to be valuable to YOU. 💜

If youtube, your agents, advertisers, or anyone puts too much pressure on you to always produce, you're going to burn out. You should always have the 1st say in how much you can do to do your job well. Don't be afraid to speak up. They need you to make money for them. You need to draw a line so you don't get tired of it. And don't worry about 3 videos a week. If it's less sometimes, so be it.

I think the definition of value is very subjective. I find the recipes you share valuable, because they give me examples for my own life. Even if it's not deep wisdom, I've taken inspiration from some of your recipes, made them myself and enjoyed them, I would consider that valuable.

Hey Michel ♥️ I hope I’m not speaking out of turn by saying this. I think your value doesn’t come from the words you say in the vlogs, or the lessons that you may teach, although they may be very powerful during times of need for viewers. Your value lies in the memories that you are documenting. Your parents watch your vlogs, and it’s valuable to them just to see their daughter, thriving in her new life with her new partner. One day, you and Jordy’s children will look back on these videos and get to see how madly in love their parents were. Every time you press record and share your life, it is pricelessly valuable, and as a viewer, I feel honored that I get to see these memories as well. Thank you, for being a friend, and a role model for me and so many other women. ♥️

[@dawnbe_well7626]

I meant to leave this comment yesterday after watching this video, so I don't know if you'll even see this now, but I just wanted to express to you that even when you feel like you have nothing to give; nothing meaningful to impart, or any life lessons to teach... you are still giving us something that we enjoy. TBH, I could just watch a video of you organizing your closet, or putting away groceries... doing your hair. Totally mundane things, because to me, that little bit of time I spend watching your life, it's an escape for me. It's like for those of us who have favorite movies that we love to watch over and over again. They may not be teaching us the meaning of life, but they give us that much needed break from the constancy of life's demands and that in itself is a gift to our mental health. Whenever I'm having a bad day, or stressed out completely, there's nothing I want to do more than to curl up on the couch and binge watch Harry Potter movies. lol That is a total escape for me and I always feel better. Your videos, and other KZbinrs I watch, are like that too. An escape from whatever is going on in my life. So even when you feel like you're not contributing anything to enrich our lives, you really are. :).

I think that you are wise to be thinking about your content. When you have kids your life will revolve around them. I doubt that you will want to expose your kids to the internet. You'll probably want to pivot away from vlogs sooner than later to protect the family that you are creating. You mentioned that you are very much an "achiever" so maybe find new things that you can learn and dive into that. Then your channel could become about that thing, whatever it might be.

This!!! You’ve talked about so many things you like to do, maybe laying the foundation for that before starting a family will help your content have diversity! I’ve not watched since the beginning, so I do think you could repeat some things. You’re so brave to be as vulnerable as you are - if that’s something you want to protect more, you just need another content form! Love everything you do, but you loving it is most important! ❤

I’m really hoping that when she does have children she doesn’t exploit them. I’m afraid that won’t be the case though. Almost every vlogger that has kids ends up exploiting them.

The meaning of exploited: to use someone or something in a selfish or unfair way. Do you really think Michel would do that?? If she wants to share her family that would be her business!!!

It's a good point, though there are a lot of vloggers that are able to straddle the line really well. They talk about things they are doing for/with their kids or recommendations for places they went with their kids but they don't actually show their kids hardly at all. Jessica Braun comes to mind. She rarely shows her kids and if she does it's only a really brief glimpse. She talked about this recently and said that that is a conscious choice and I think it seems really wise. But I don't think you have to stay away from vlogs when you're a parent because you can still talk about going to the library or whatnot and show a clip of walking inside but not actually SHOW the kids much, if at all. Of course it's Michel's choice 💯😊. I'm just super excited for what comes next and I really enjoy the channel no matter what she does. 💜

@@marcyfalconer1275 I don’t know if Michel would do it. But showing your children online and monetizing off of it is exploitation. You are using children who CANNOT provide informed consent and make money. On top of that these family bloggers have pedos all over their channel. With AI someone can take a seemingly innocent video or photo of a child and turn it into korn.

You can bring value by sharing the gospel 🤗 maybe just sharing what you learn or read that day. It helps staying consistent personally and share it with us with love

I have struggled so much with making rice in a rice maker. It is either not done enough, too done and it always sticks to the pot. What rice cooker do you have and how did you make it. I watched and it looked like 2 cups of rice, little butter and 3 cups water??
