VLOG: it's been a pretty hard week

[@MichelJanse]

thanks for spending the day with me

[@TamiRoberson10]

I just bought my first quince cashmere cardigan and absolutely love it.

[@thehalelani885]

As a Hawai’i resident just wanted to give you a friendly heads up, it’s pronounced “pok-eh” not pokey 😊❤

[@katiemaxwell2560]

I’m so glad Max is recovered! I was at that show in NC and met Jordy and your sweet parents afterward. I had had a hard week, too, but am really glad I went that night. ❤

[@IrbyOCD]

I’m so glad to hear they referred you to poison control. I worked at our state’s poison control center for 9 years and so many vets forget we do animals as well as humans. We do have the computer program and knowledge to run mg per kg of body weight to determine toxicity. Even though ER docs and vets do this kind of stuff on a daily basis it’s still easier to get the first hand knowledge for a qualified toxicologist so they can begin patient care and not worry about the numbers in an emergency situation

[@mt9142]

So happy that Max is fine. ❤ the fact that you left because you did not feel well actually might have saved him.

[@jordanlexton7354]

I'm so glad he's ok, the emergency vet is scary! We had to kennel train late with my dog, it was rough, but it provides peace of mind that she can't get into stuff while we're gone.

[@mirandas5853]

Probably a good idea to dog-proof certain areas of the house and put specific things he shouldn’t get into out of his reach. 9:33

[@nicolekmet2523]

Hi Michel! I made Opa’s soup this week and it was delicious- perfect for cooler Midwest weather! So glad Max is okay!

[@annikaa.3854]

Happy to hear that Max is fine, what a shock!

[@nataliegjatzlau]

I love that the sponsorship is letting you use things you already own! All the pieces look great even with however long youve had them which shows the quality of the items

[@ClassyRandomness]

Glad Max is ok ❤

[@Mapletrinity]

So sorry about Max, glad he's fine now! Sending you love and hope you're having a lovely day!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you friend 🥹🤍

[@fujithedog]

Oh my, what a hard week you had! Max, no more eating chocolate and scaring your mom! big hug to Max and to you!

[@KimsaLittleofAlot]

So thankful that Max is going to be okay. Stressful situations and flare ups are no fun. I hope everything is simmering down for you :) aww, hi Max!

[@marybutler429]

lol that’s me waving in the FaceTime!!!! 😂

[@madelinegonzalez9637]

Glad Max is okay! Related to Quince, I have a few pieces and think they’re great but have seen multiple proofs online that they aren’t sustainable like they say :/ so just be aware!

[@cherylf.4616]

I’m so glad Max is ok! Scary times for sure. Here is hoping the rest of your week and weekend get better Michel!

[@whiterose3707]

Poor Max, I am so glad he is ok!

[@supermick3000]

I always enjoy your vlogs! P.s. Would love a link to that fun vintage inspired camera 🤗

[@rainikirra]

I loved the “I’m gonna cancel” moment 😂 So real and I think it was a good decision 🌅

[@nataliegjatzlau]

Curious about the rug cleaner! I probably need one but semi living in denial bc there are so many options 😂

[@laurenw5291]

Thanks for always sharing even on your difficult days ❤ I love the random Michel jingles 23:05-23:12 They crack me up everytime 😆 Glad Max is feeling better. What a scare!

[@patriciawoodward9121]

I'm so glad that Max is doing well. I'm so sorry that your week has been so crazy. I hope that things get better. I'm so thankful for your videos. Also, for you being my internet friend. I had so much fun at Jordy's show in Boston. It was nice to be able to see you from afar. I wish that I could have met you. Maybe I could meet you and Jordy someday! We love Max!!!!❤❤❤

[@Sunshine-uo7um]

Trupanion is the friggin best!!! This is probably the one your vet was talking about. They cover most things!!!!!! Glad Max is ok ❤

[@judykhaleck8034]

Sending so much ❤️ and 💡 to poor sweet Max! I’m so glad he better. That’s was so scary to hear the way you told the story about what happen to him. 🐕 ❤️ 💡 ✨

[@tonileekingery]

Michel!! I think you should learn to surf! I started when I moved to Maine with my bf a couple of year ago and now we have so much fun together. If yall ever are back in Portland and wanna go we have extra gear we will happily let yall borrow 🥰❤️ it was so fun to see Jordy perform too 🎉

[@suecorrigan1216]

So glad Max is good!! And that beach!!!! I wish teleporting was real!!!❤

[@danielleayde2330]

So glad Max is ok. He's seems like such a sweet dog. Wow l hope things get better.

[@mildreddiaz6435]

I know how important and how much you love sweet max. So happy he is doing better. And that all is well. God bless🙏🥰

[@AnaPaulaBuzzo]

ooooh poor Max 🥲 I'm glad he is doing fine, it is so scary when we have to take them to the emergency 😭

[@SimplySheilaB]

So glad precious Max is ok, he’s an angel bless him. As an aside my 25 year marriage ended today, I’m heartbroken but binge watching your thriving after divorce videos ❤❤😢

[@krhardesty]

I’m so sorry you’re having to go through that. A marriage ending can be so heartbreaking, but you will get through it! Sending much love to you from South Carolina ❤

[@judykhaleck8034]

So sorry. Sending you so much ❤️ & 💡! Take care of yourself okay.

[@psk8900]

So sorry for what you are going through. I know it sounds like a cliche but every ending is a new beginning and Michel - although not having been married for 25 years - is a testament of that. Wishing you strength during this difficult time!

[@AliceSFlowers-s4x]

My heart is with you...❤️

[@junemcelhaney3374]

I didn’t want to like your comment but I wanted you to know I’m thinking about you and I am so very sorry!

[@jesdolliver]

We use Healthy Paws. They don't nickel and dime each thing like most pet insurances. Routine healthcare isn't covered, but all of sick care is. They have different plan levels. We got the 90% one, which has saved us thousands over the years with one of our mini-assie shepherds who gets into everything.

[@sherylhuffman774]

Glad Max is ok. I've had 2 dogs eat chocolate with no side effects. Can you take ibuprofen? It's much more effective for cramps than Tylenol.

[@evahynonen4851]

So sorry about Max. Try to stock the chocolate(proteinbars)higher up so he cannot reach them. Dogs are tempted by the smell just as we are but theobromein makes their heartrate increase very much. That is why it is so dangerozs. Good that everything rurned out well. In the end it is just money when your precious pet is saved.❤

[@liliesofthefield5310]

FYI it's pronounced "po-kay" the E is an "Eh" sound, like in Every

[@psk8900]

So sorry to hear about your week Michel! Poor Max! That feeling when you realise your dog ate something he really shouldn’t have and your heart just sinks… this has happened to us a number of times and I felt so guilty and worried every time. Our dogs likes to eat fabric which can cause dangerous blockages. Luckily in our case we always realised quickly what happened and could sort it by inducing vomiting but we need to be super vigilant and can’t leave our dog alone for that reason. I’ve had countless sleepless nights as a result - not fun. I can only echo your point about pet insurance! Hope things are turning around for you now and the pms is leaving you alone. Having a couple of really rough weeks myself with work and family and no end or solution in sight right now. Stress is taking a toll on my body and mind. Your videos are a welcome little distraction during this time.

[@SusieQZee]

Thank you for the update, Max! What a scary situation. Michel, if you could get a code/sponsorship for pet insurance, that would be so awesome.

[@El.R.]

So excited for another video❤ Have a good day Michel!

[@MichelJanse]

You too, thank you! 🤍

[@myhouse74]

A Care Credit card is also helpful as it's usually a 12-month free interest on payments for Dentists and Vets. Depending on the amount you put on the card is the amount of time you have to pay it back. Almost all Vets and Dentists will take it.

[@jillmarie4155]

I'm so happy to hear Max is ok. I love my pet insurance and highly recommend getting it. Mine covers 80% minus a deductible (per year not visit and based on age of pet). Mine is Petline but I've heard Trupanion is even better and pays most vets directly.

[@MichelJanse]

Oh thank you, I appreciate that!

[@sarahvacca9363]

What did you use to clean your rugs?

[@sarafinamonteleone3333]

Also what was that camera called? It seems like a great Christmas gift!

[@jakesmom45]

Glad you love Maine. I found you when you were here a few years ago on your solo tour. I don’t work too far away from Evintide!

[@abigailwise5982]

What is the camera called?? Did I miss that?

[@DogGoneDayz]

Ooh I dig those pictures that faux-film camera took! Looks exactly how I edit my regular photos, very vintage LOL Link? :)

[@sharons5118]

savory smores... do you mean fondue?

[@claudiamann7111]

So glad that Max is doing fine. I know that was scary. So nice that your parents are enjoying Jordy"s concert. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@sarahvacca9363]

Can you do a video of those most wished gifts? I never heard about the Ninja Cremi. Could you tells us about it and give your honest opinion?

[@LindaKayHolevas]

My son’s 5 year old labradoodle is suddenly being a naughty girl & getting into anything left on their kitchen table. This is brand new behavior from her & I experienced the brunt of it while I was dog & house sitting. My son had left ziplock bags full of candy they had purchased while in Japan for me to give to my grandchildren, but I didn’t get the opportunity to share the candy because their dog got to it before me. She literally ate all of the candy, wrappers included. My son & his wife were on their way to Singapore, so I couldn’t reach them by phone. It was the scariest 24 hours of my life! Thankfully, she was also okay, but I was frantic until I knew she was out of the woods. I am so relieved to know that Max is also okay! Be careful because once a dog gets a taste of chocolate, they become obsessed with it (not unlike us humans, lol).

[@sarafinamonteleone3333]

Did you remember the oet insurance name? My husband and I are about to get a dog and would love an insurance that covers x amount up front , does not require reimbursement

[@macaroni459]

So glad Max is okay! I'm a vet tech who actually used to work for Lemonade, and for anyone interested - Lemonade does also offer 90% coverage plan options (after you hit your deductible).

[@beckyesperanza9793]

Happy to see and hear Max is doing well, can you share the pet insurance please. thank you.

[@jhordianleong4332]

Aw Michel,im so happy Max is okay but I am so incredibly sorry that you had to experience this🫂🫂

[@plushieangela]

God being at home when you're out giving Max the tummy squeeze to throw up those protein bars

[@teresadreamer8554]

Great viedo love seeing around California. Quick question? Do the leaves change color in your area ? 🤔 glad max is feeling better 😊. 👍👍🤍🤍

[@MichelJanse]

Some do, but not nearly as dramatically as they do in the east!

[@teresadreamer8554]

@MichelJanse thank you! I live in Ohio

[@barbaragrooms6810]

You look just like your mama when you were on the beach in that lighting❤️🥰

[@donnacoxx8232]

[@jennyhammond9261]

Poor Max! My beagle once ate a bowl of Hershey's kisses with almonds...ate the chocolate, ate the foil wrappers, spat out the almonds

[@MichelJanse]

HAHA

[@beckyolivia1545]

So happy that Max is good.I love that sweet boy💙💙💙

[@nx7525]

Happy Max is feeling better ❤️ can you please share the name of that camera?

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Best vlogger ❤

[@caitlinhofer5449]

I think it’s so cool that you’re from san diego I used to work up the street from that lazy acres at smart and final

[@juliannaoak8561]

i have the camp snap and love it!

[@marcyfalconer1275]

Can you take Advil? Because of my autoimmune I can't take Tylenol. It damages my liver. Advil is an anti inflammatory, may help you better for cramps. Love when you film at the beach.

[@brat32179]

The Fox Point Farm residences are Shea Homes, you can find info on their website.

[@linmurray436]

Poor Max, that collar looks to be a bit overkill and uncomfortable. You should use a harness for walks, their little necks can be injured using a collar. Glad he is feeling better.

[@erin7306]

Oh, poor Max. Thank goodness he's okay now - that would have been so scary.

[@monicagonzalez20]

So glad Max is feeling better! I hope you also feel much better🙏❤

[@cheyennewilcox3422]

Can you share a link to the camera??

[@judykhaleck8034]

I was literally asking the same thing as you.

[@MichelJanse]

Yes!! www.campsnapphoto.com

[@tinamontevecchi223]

Did u figure out the name of the pet insurance that ur vet mentioned??????

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Pet stuff is so hard! Seeing my 15 year old cat finally acting her age is sooo hard

[@MichelJanse]

🥹🥹

[@robyndownie6767]

Where are your earrings from?

[@dichang3]

My lab also ate half a box of protein bars a few years ago. That was a fun experience. 😅😒

[@MichelJanse]

Oh goodness🤦‍♀️

[@CamrynCarter-wx2es]

I’m so sorry!! praying that you have a better week! 🩷🫶🏻 you’re amazing!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you so much, that means a lot!🥹

[@rodeoandrye]

God sent you home from church early to save Max. Also, his comment to the camera was hilarious! He definitely had an opinion on the incident. So glad that he is okay.

[@AliceSFlowers-s4x]

amen!

[@sciencenvisions1554]

WOW the editing on this. I watched it before bed and i feel so calm .michel you are so talented.

[@jacksonebendick9592]

Love your cozy vibes

[@beabopaloola9234]

I love advent calendar unboxings.

[@annafcates]

When you get a chance, can you give an update on the camera please? I was just telling my husband about that same brand camera yesterday lol

[@liliesofthefield5310]

If you're dog ever eats something toxic, give him activated charcoal capsules

[@agbs_creations]

Link to camera

[@auroramarques6057]

Oh Lord, I'm sorry you went thru all that.

[@racheldorsay]

Did you ever figure out the insurance the vet recommended? ☺️

[@jeanetteoxo]

Aww so happy max is doing good. I hope he enjoyed those protein bars because never again will he eat those lol

[@MichelJanse]

HAHA

[@Kristi-zu8om]

Lol, how many people smiled for the camera when she took a picture of us?!

[@shelbyim5vaughns]

Haha it totally made me smile bc that was so sweet of her

[@MichelJanse]

Haha, aw!!

[@cpagoals]

I remember seeing that story about max on your instagram, I am SO relieved that he is okay!! I'm so sorry you had such a rough week here but it looks like your instagram says you're in Maine now and you must be one happy gorl 🥹 every time you include vlog clips of the beach it makes me want to go to the beach!

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Michel! I love this so much and you are such an inspiration to me. You are such a light and I am so obsessed with every you out and I’ve been loving the longer vlogs lately! I can’t wait to see more culinary class and it’s so fun to see. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@MichelJanse]

That's so sweet, thank you! 🥹🤍

[@Mhgoodmanmtg]

Oh gosh - it is just one of those weeks where you have to laugh at the absurdity of it all, or you’ll cry otherwise

[@rosiesparksable]

Where is the camera from?

[@millerfamilytrees]

This is basically what happened to me last week only with a 10 pound dog and a pack of gum.

[@shannonnewsome4792]

All hugs to u n Max 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@carriek4038]

God Bless you! Please take care of yourself! I am so glad that Max is ok! Sending prayers for rest and healing for you both and many good days ahead! ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@outoftheklosset]

Oh, no! That's so overwhelming and scary worrying about your pup and then the other annoyances. I bet it all added up to tears - I know it would be for me. Hopefully you can really take time to rest and recover from the stress. Sending you and Max lots of love and support.💐 Hopefully he never does this again! **hugs**

[@alliibee4015]

So happy to hear Max is doing better ❤

[@jamierenae3833]

I have Pets Best insurance for my pup & they are great & pay 90%….the only issue with pet insurance is it’s very affordable for the first couple of years & then just increases immensely each year. It was approximately $40 per month initially & now several years later it’s $153 per month & I’m a bit stuck because he’s 11, so switching & preexisting plus age makes that impossible.

[@mariamangion21]

One of my favorite KZbinrs ❤❤

[@darlenegrit6959]

By the way Michel, I am so glad Max is well. I know how scary that must have been for the both of you.

[@mollydemers2876]

Link for the camera?!

Michel, can you please link the camera!? ❤

[@9384cows]

Poor little Max. It's so scarey when our furry babies get sick or hurt. I'm so glad he is back to normal. I LOVE Quince and it's because of you. I bought several pieces last year and just purchased 2 long cardigans, 2 tanks, 2 hoodies and 2 pants in black and navy and will be wearing them when we go out this fall and winter. I absolutely love them and they look so dressy and are so warm! And the prices are so good, too. (I'm 73!) Thanks for turning me on to them.
