VLOG: finding real peace + confidence, hanging a gallery wall, more organizing!

[@oliviatittle-5245]

I loved how you said, “Everything has the power that I give it.” That’s very powerful. I’ve struggled with anxiety for over 6 years and watching your content is a breathe of fresh air. Just how transparent and genuine you are is very nice. Especially how you also talk about your faith sometimes is really nice. You make it part of you but not your whole identity. It’s helped me a lot. You’re one of the people that’s helped me realize and take to heart that it’s okay to not apologize, that it’s ok to like nice things, that it’s ok to have differing opinions and voice it. So thank you Michel! Keep going easy on yourself because you’re amazing 🙌🏼

[@susiepatterson5383]

I’m so proud of you, You’ve come so far and the difference is wonderful, You could tell in your old videos that you weren’t happy, nor were you healthy now I see a more vibrant and healthier person. Even Max looks more happier.

[@ShowerSomeStars]

Hey Michel! You can use metal S hooks to hang your backpacks on the closet pole. They can hold A LOT of weight and you don't have to worry about drilling or command hooks dropping ☺️

[@louisestevens1755]

Just think the same thing...metal S hooks from Amazon would be perfect! ;-)

[@perspectiveportions]

Had the same thought. They come in different sizes too. I have an "Accessory" one that I use for belts & it's perfect.

[@karmakauffman7445]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@keepingtabs1814]

You’ve bounced back with such strength & class. Kudos to you, girl!

[@ahmadzainabidris6794]

I love that you are being you in front of the camera, no extra drama….watching your content is calming ❤

[@vandameneses7307]

Got to tell U. It feels so relaxing to watch your content.... Who knew you'd be so soothing for an other stressed human hey... Full circle don't you think?

[@MichelJanse]

Awe, thank you for your kindness friend!! Sending love your way!! You can do this!!🤍🤍

[@BeachMomma12]

Thank you for being open and honest and sharing your journey and your struggles so that we don’t feel alone in ours! ❤️

[@elizabethp-ep5dj]

Girl, please keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t let other people tell you otherwise. Because you are amazing and it takes guts to share your life, your vulnerabilities and your successes with the rest of the world. Haters will continue to hate but that is no reflection of you. Sending you my best xoxo ❤

[@emilyworden4240]

It has been such a joy watching you move into this new apartment. I’ve been watching your channel since right before you moved back to Austin the first time. I’m just so happy for your happiness. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@sarahcontois7054]

Your videos fill me with so much joy! So fun, calming, and beautiful!

[@Lovebrittwoods]

Sis you were PREACHING in today’s car chat!!! I absolutely love your perspective and look forward to your videos ❤

[@gigimac8459]

That view is AMAZING! I would never get anything done. I would sit there all day! LOL That beautiful floral sweater makes me feel happy!

[@MichelJanse]

HAHAH yep same!!! Aww, I’m so glad 🥰🥰🫶🏼

[@laceegassman]

Your gallery wall has inspired me to pick up unique prints at thrift stores! My first find was a little girl that looks like me reading, just inspired by you. Also love the dress!

[@cnbandy]

The funky transition was giving major Seinfeld for me. Loveeee it.

[@samanthaadams2576]

Killed it on the car talk.. I don’t think any of those things should be controversial.. they are words of power and wisdom. Go woman. I relate and have been learning very similar lessons. Peace and confidence do go hand in hand.. not feeling guilty or bad but confident in who are is like a protective shield of peace. So here for your hard earned growth and your beautiful aesthetic haha 😘

[@samanthaadams2576]

Also, seeing more of your personality shining through (perhaps from the big growth year and coming into your “unapologetic era”) and I love to see it! ❤ live it up sister

[@ranaa.267]

Your voice and tone is perfect for a podcast, michel!

[@MichelJanse]

This is very kind, thank you friend!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@morningmom6]

Loved your car chat! It all makes perfect sense to me! You gave me great ideas to implement into my life. I didn't want your vlog to end!

[@basilandpoarch]

My favorite thing for hanging artwork in a way that is adjustable and removable are a few of the 3M Velcro strips on the back of the frame and wall. If it’s a little crooked you just pull it off of the wall and mash it back onto the Velcro strip a little straighter. It doesn’t move if you bump into it. It’s great!

[@arepurposedlifewithlaura1496]

Your gallery wall looks great, well done. Always set things up on the floor first it saves time in the end and gives you a good idea of what you're working as far as space. That dress 😍, gorgeous!

[@mariannedressler6784]

That dress suits you so well. Didn’t care for the pants. Your gallery wall is spot on! 😊

[@Realzproductreviews]

Agree

[@meganvenegas7632]

I love your content and I'm happy that you're continuing to learn who you are, while also sharing what you learn along the way. Take care!

[@hannahleedy8965]

After years of watching you use your smart oven, I finally broke down! Super excited ☺️

[@c.a.t.6165]

I adore that pale pink duck print in the gallery wall! Looks perfect to me!

[@laurensawyer330]

Your gallery wall looks beautiful! Your art collection is growing. Love the 2 new prints you found.

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Favorite new channel to watch

[@marybeemsterboer4436]

Love the print over the sink. It's perfect!

[@karmakauffman7445]

Those trousers are gorgeous! It might be worth going to get them altered so the waist fits without pulling at the pleats. Also, the dress is perfect!! Love it! Glad to hear that your anxiety levels are settling down. Good job!

[@charlenesmith209]

So very proud of all of your growth!! You rock chickadee!!

[@MichelJanse]

AWE, thank you sweet friend!! 🥰🥰

[@Aznjadegurl]

Take a shot everytime michel says funky modern or cool 😂 I never comment but I watch every new video that posts!! Love your vlogs and seeing your progression with mental health/going out of your comfort zone 💕💕

[@kimberlyvanzandt2078]

The Command "velcro like" picture hanging strips....I love them!!!

[@justinestjacques]

*funky little things* 😆 Love how everything is coming together!

[@nadinewilliamson1037]

I love your gallery wall. I would use the heavy duty S hooks in that hall closet. Than you could hang your bags on the hanging bar. That dress looks perfect on you.

[@kaylawhite2785]

All for this. Especially the car chat. ❤️

[@juliemkphotography9279]

Hi Michel, love your videos! 11x14 is a very common size. I highly recommend a personal trainer. They can help you reach your fitness goals and spot where you are deficient and help make your workouts more efficient. Also, I have a Shichon who resembles Max. The vet told us that discoloration is natural and is from enzymes in the saliva and tears. It can be tackled with a solution of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 3 parts water. Just dab it on the affected areas. We tried it and it works well. All the best to you!

[@meganbarto4138]

I'm so happy for you and your apartment! It's so beautiful. The view is amazing. The peach picture is so cute too!

[@tarynblecher5215]

for the command hooks - they actually sell specific art ones!! they are called large picture hanging strips + work great for me!

[@justinfelt748]

Hi, Michel! Happy Wednesday and welcome to the first day on the third month of March!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖💖💖💖💖🎇🎉💚🍀👍.

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you!! Happy Wednesday to you too friend!!

[@justinfelt748]

@@MichelJanse You're welcome!😊😙💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖💖💖💖💖😊🎇😍🎉💚🍀👍. And I love the black El Camino car with the license plate says "Texas."⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

[@k.a.1760]

Cottage cheese sounds delicious on sweet potato! I put sweet potato in quesadillas... So cheese/dairy and sweet potato, and it's delicious!!!!

[@HeyItsMe1224]

You can also print a bunch of gallery art off Etsy and frame them yourself, that way they all somewhat match in a style of your choosing

[@RulersxRocksx3]

you’re my safe space 💖🥲

[@CelineMurfin]

Michel!! Those are called Riso prints!! It’s a vintage way of layering printing!!

[@Mxtraveler]

Walmart has hooks for jeans that hang on the rod. They are around $5.50 for 6. For frame of reference, they are hooks like they use at Old Navy to hang jeans. I use them for that and also to hang my tanks in my closet. I also hang the dog leashes.

[@kathryngehrke3922]

There ya go again, playing Tetris with the drawers! Good Job !!!!

[@jeannine8400]

When you look out your window in your apartment at night, are you able to see many lights from the buildings off to the left? I ask because when I had my last baby, which has been a bit, my room overlooked Pittsburgh, PA, and at night I would sit in my room with the curtains open to watch the lights, and I loved that.

[@RooseyGirl]

If the adhesive hooks dont work out, another option could be to get S hook from home depot and hang them from the rod

[@patriciawilson1588]

So grateful that you are better

[@melissatolito9418]

Mix cottage cheese and salsa also I substitute mayo with cottage cheese in my chicken salad it’s amazing I put the cottage cheese in my bullet to cream it first .

[@sfikoura]

The music in the transitions is 🔥

[@alyssaalvarado2130]

Hi Michel, what do your flare days look like? Like how do you feel when you're having a flare day? I'm going through some stuff right now (re-activated EBV) and have had a lot of flare days. I am working with a naturopath, and we are trying to get some things figured out. I was just wondering how you feel on those days. Prayers and hugs!

[@Shylaoutdoors]

LOVE your cardigan!!! Your place is turning out so cute and cozy ❤🥰🥰💖

[@AudreyDeary]

Gallery wall turned out great & the dress you got is so pretty!

[@cristamartin3070]

The gallery wall looks fabulous!!!!!

[@KimixKicks]

You should use normal command straps for the art. The Mcgee art is super light anyway, so the ones that stick to the back are perfect. I actually just removed the little hangy thing on the art so that it's more flush with the wall!

[@charlenesmith209]

Sorry bout the multiple comments but I watch ND reply s I go. I love love, love the trousers!! They look great on you and the dress is adorable!! The pictures look amazing, you seem to be good at that!

[@MichelJanse]

Awe, thank you friend!! 🫶🏼

[@lauramarazzi1012]

Been loving all the home content lately! The gallery wall turned out so good! The only thing that's throwing me off a touch is the reddish frame of the little girl. I wonder if that was switched out to a more similar wood tone if you would like it more :)

[@amandaboie3343]

I got a tovala off your last link, and I will say, the $100 thing, make sure they only charge you that much. They charged me morem even though I did the meal service for the allotted time and I did not have a good experience with their customer service people

[@Kaibigan39]

Good to know!

[@passionliving]

Love hearing about how much your life has been beautifully expanded. You deserve continued joy, peace and playfulness! Keep smiling Missy. 💝

[@MichelJanse]

🥹🥹Awe, thank you sweet friend!!

[@janbryant9879]

I do something similar to you. When I go to some place new I try to buy some art from a local artist. So when I look at the art it reminds me of the trip.

[@margaretblack4290]

I think the new lamp shade does need a larger base. Also it doesn’t help that it is clear.😊

[@dollieegert6705]

Design wall looks great! I just did one and they are more difficult than you would think. You nailed it🥰

[@jordanmeadows1147]

We used shower clips on our rod in our closet and they work great!

[@aerialcrowley]

You could use s hooks for bags. Maybe attach a carabiner to hanging strap for easier removal since strap can get stuck on hook.

[@sax_25]

Life is simple. Not easy. I think we get the two confused. We KNOW what to do and that’s the simple part but putting those things into action isn’t easy. Lee that in mind. ❤️

[@melcerra2375]

Very true.

[@mittiecollins1510]

OMGoodness that sweater is so awesome 👍

[@jordanlexton7354]

The Abercrombie trousers are absolutely perfect for you. These ones are ok, they just don't work with the shape of your body as well

[@lilachavez8781]

Austin my home town I miss it. Enjoy your videos all the time. Stay safe!

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

You look so happy❤ everything came out beautiful, but I have to tell you I love that sweet sweater that you were wearing! That is absolutely beautiful❤Otis 🐶and me❄️❄️Massachusetts..btw, I have the same hooks from Amazon. You get so many in a package I use them for everything.

[@Eliza34nc]

Good will or a thrift store you take that pic out put your pic in. Frames are so cheap and really nice in thrift stores.

[@elothegreat3011]

The bass transition sounded like Seinfeld lol. Nice looking back on how far you've come. That's awesome! As far as the art gallery wall... with it being in a bathroom/room you aren't in, when will you really get to enjoy it? You would purposefully have to go into that bathroom to look at it. Do you think you will really do that? It is very nice though! I love it

[@ChessieChess]

That’s true I didn’t think of that. I think a nice place would be by the front door.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Michel good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@ggpink9044]

Yes, girl! Hooks in the closet is a game changer. I got some cute ones at Hobby Lobby.

[@lynhardman1384]

By the way change your wording from this dress is so cute to “I look so cute” in this dress! 🥰🇨🇦

[@selah_vie]

That dress color is your color! So cute!

[@IndianaNana1]

Your wall grouping is beautiful!

[@deboraswenson9162]

The hardware store sells S hooks you can hang over the bar and avoid holes in the wall. Easy. Ask your dad.

[@Glm867]

Loved 🥰 the music video 😢you made ❤️‼️ You’ve come SO FAR and you’ve been Blessed beyond belief because you DESERVE it and you did YOUR part 🥹❤ So Happy & Inspired By You 💋❤️‍🩹❤️🙄🙏✝️

[@kimberlym746]

Omg girl I just saw your commercial on a Harry Styles video. Goooooo girl! ❤️

[@maireadwalsh1404]

That little lamp you got at Target for $12, I found it at my local Target and got it, It's so cute

[@andreacimolonski3245]

Iv been searching through you videos, PLEASE tell me where you got your dishes 🙏 we are remodeling our kitchen and I NEED them lol. I also find so much joy in decorating, I'm glad you do too!

[@vivianchoi12]

I really need to learn how you do your hair, Michel!! Why can't get a similar look although I feel like I'm doing the similar thing as you did. How do you put your hair up in a claw like that?? I would love it if you can share it 🙏🙏

[@maryjaneknab4051]

I am going to suggest wooden hangers for your back packs

[@Intrepiddabbler]

Haha. Just like shelVes, it is kniVes with a V...lol. I'm just surprised no one (apparently)told you this before.

[@beverlydow8259]

Please also order the Sezanne dress in black. So beautiful.

[@oliviatittle-5245]

Love your granny square sweater! Where did you get it?

[@SpiritHeartsSong]

love the car chat!

[@Packingpaws]

I recommend getting a personal trainer for a couple of months just so you feel more comfortable and confident using the machines at your apartment gym! Also to prevent injuries 💙

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Love your art Gallery so pretty. So brings a different feature to that wall❤ Dress is gorgeous have a Great day tomorrow 💕

[@melissagrace3973]

Loving your crochet top!

[@sarameier]

I love Sezane!!

[@beverlydow8259]

Why not print and frame some of your favorite photographs?

[@angelacimmino1102]

Holy moly guacamole, that periwinkle dress is simply gorgeous on you! Your photo gallery is absolutely amazing, with one exception. The frame on your childhood portrait is too dark and/or chunky that it detracts from its innocent childhood memory. Your peaches over the kitchen sink are spot on.

[@le4905]

Who would've thought those accordian style lamp shades from the 80's would come back into style?!

[@blueseptember2174]

Yeah I just cant ever go back to those lol

[@michellewilson1221]

Cottage cheese is actually amazing on sweet potato!

[@teresadziob6857]

Where did you get that crochet sweater? I love it!! Love watching you!!!

[@crisramcas4726]

Love your creativity with the decorations! Great ideas

[@suzettesmith2075]

Love the art. Very cute blue dress

[@cooliomcgeee]

I would switch “Little Michel” and that smaller photo on the far right (left in mirror). But all in all I like it!

[@EllieMaloney-ut8lp]

I’m so happy that you finally feel peace

[@MichelJanse]

🥰🥰🫶🏼

[@Shop-Girl]

Hi Michel, anxiety is such a weird emotion, there are so many things that can cause it. My biggest thing use to be, what if I fail, what if …. I have finally reached that point of responding to those what ifs, and now I just say, what So what!!! What if fail, so what if I do…. It helped me get to that unapologetic and just be me!! You are a rock…keep being you!! ❤❤❤

[@dustykaywalford9613]

Metal “s” hooks on the hanger bar could be helpful in your “grab ‘n’ go” closet, if the hooks on the wall dont work out 🤷🏻‍♀️
