VLOG: so, I did my interview..... (also some MASSIVE decluttering)

[@MichelJanse]

Here are links and time stamps for my mobile viewer friends! Love you!

[@catherineelisephotography]

Hello! A little idea for a future vlog… This may sound weird, but, I’m someone who really struggles with executive function and with organising details. I have found it so helpful when you have shared how you structure your to-do lists and manage your day to day tasks (including how you prepare for hosting). Would you ever consider sharing a video of how you mentally prepare and organise for hosting, or how you go about your to-do lists in general for keeping on top of your home tasks or the like? It may sound silly for asking, but it’s been so helpful learning how you go about budgeting or how you structure your to-do lists for making a 7 course meal, etc. You’re a legend!

[@iAlanahBelle]

Yes to this!

[@Ali_E26]

Yes yes yes love this idea so much

[@nicholefischer]

As an NA girlie and with mocktails on the rise for similar reasons, I suggest gifting flowers maybe instead of alcohol.

[@deniseavrich8088]

A good way to store your foam topper would be an extra large vacuum seal bag. I use it for all of my extra comforters and pillows. On a side note, please don't listen to the negative comments asking what does Jordy do. Anyone that actually truly pays attention to your vlogs would be aware that he does a lot. The people that are putting out those negative comments unfortunately probably have something in their life that they're unhappy about. Either that or they're just princesses and think that women should do nothing. You seem happy, live your life. Can't wait until the next video.

[@sheilaputman-mimitreasures4126]

You worked so hard on cleaning the couch covers, and they look great, but I wonder if it would be worth finding a blanket to cover the couch where your baby Max likes to sleep?

[@jackiedecoma4637]

Agree. That way you only have to wash the blanket/towel etc. and also is protecting the couch from wear and tear.

[@mylene_b]

100% I was gonna suggest the same thing, it's much easier to just clean the cover and blankets

[@dhall75608]

They make couch cushion covers that you can just put on them in two seconds. I had some made because it was cheaper than buying some, but they definitely make covers for couches now. And it’s so much easier than washing the actual cushion covers. Mine are machine washable but a pain to take off and get back on .

[@vickyb9918]

That does seem logical. I thought the same.

[@Chrisplainjane]

For the mattress topper I would just get an ikea storage box like the ones for under the bed that zip up & fold it into that. Then it will be neat in the closet. I would also put dryer sheets with the linens in the laundry because even clean sheets get a slight musty smell in a sealed container. Absolutely love the apron! ❤ Yess! Hire someone for admin work like 15-20 hours a week! Good luck on the course.

[@jvlcixm]

Can’t wait to see which thing from the restaurant you’ll be recreating! And fingers crossed for your new culinary classes acceptance, I can see how excited you are for it!

[@KimsaLittleofAlot]

Hi Michel. Friendly tip. When I store my extra blankets and comforters, I use the vacuum seal bags first and then put them in a tote bin. You will have way more storage in the tote (it'll weigh heavier, too) :)

[@Rayoflight-98]

A suggestion for your white couch. Purchase a couch cover they are so much easier to wash and dry and put back on.

[@carriecleveland1833]

Vacuum storage bags are AMAZING for storing bedding in.

[@thehumblehen]

...when you become a mother, your little one will become your little pod! :) My babies, now 4, 6 and 9, I’ve been using them as my little pods since birth and the snuggles are instantly calming. They love it and so do I!

[@Lea2008-k8b]

Michel, It is such a gift to see your dreams come to fruition, you have certainly done well sweet lady. For all my extra pillows, bedding, I get those space saver bags and shrink them down, and store under the bed.

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you Lea!🤍🤍

[@kathya9522]

Uhh, I shrunk a really expensive pillow and ruined it. It stayed flat and never again plumped back up. That was a few years ago and I’m not sure what kind of pillow, probably a foam.

[@sydneyhiggins6022]

Michel, I store my mattress topper underneath a mattress in my guest room - I just put it on the bed frame under the mattress and pull it out when I need it which isn’t super often!

[@jacksonebendick9592]

The way you have your hands cozy in the cardigan sleeves is so adorable. Best cozy vibes

[@MichelJanse]

Awee thank you so much Jackson!!🥹🫶🏼

[@Gingersplanscraftsbeauty]

Use Dawn Dish Liquid on your couch covers! A couple squirts right on each cover! That gets the stains out!

[@sharksinmyblood]

My husband and I lived in San Diego for a few months before we got married, and the last thing we did before we moved back east was have dinner at Addison. We did the tasting menu! We had a huge yard sale and sold everything before we moved, and used some of that to pay for the meal (though that was 9 years ago so I can't imagine the cost -now!0)

I have a 2” memory foam mattress topper that I fold like a sleeping bad and bungee cord it. I then put it in a canvas storage bag and put it on the top shelf of the closet.

[@charlenesmith209]

Love that apron! One of my favorite colors!! I saw the same style at our World Market and wanted it badly but I don't need another apron. Jordyn is too sweet!

[@letitiajohnson6987]

I would get a feather topper for the guest bes and vacuum seal it between uses. Or get one of those clear zip storage bags.

[@MichelJanse]

Ooo thank you friend!!🤍🤍

[@elizabethcarboni9138]

you can buy a mattress for a sleeper sofa with a blowup attached to it - you open the bed and then you blow up the topper which is attached to the mattress - It’s a great mattress!

[@MichelJanse]

Woah how cool and fun!!

[@ChristineS-sf3rc]

Hi Michel, nice new clothes!! ❤. Plus loved the second Earring you put in!! God bless ❤❤. Hope everything works out (culinary Class) that you don't have too much stress... please keep us updated❤

[@MichelJanse]

So sweet thank your friend!!🤍🤍

[@khud111]

For the foam topper: I have one for a fold out too and I leave it on the bed and it still folds up perfectly! And that way I don’t have to take it off and on and don’t have to worry about storing it. So maybe yours can stay on the bed too and just fold it up like normal with it on.

[@jillr759]

I do own Jenni Kayne cashmere and quince. Jenni is absolutely 2 ply and quince is one. It’s a huge difference. However sometimes I don’t need the weight Jenni offers living in the Bay Area I will grab my lighter version. A does ball and pile a lot and quickly. My middle version is actually Bloomingdale’s own C Cashmere brand, same price as Q on sale and superior quality. Looking forward to your Addison meal. Being a guest of someone was fabulous, it’s an event of its own! So happy to got creative to save for the meal I’m going to take that advise and amp up my eBay store for such splurges.

[@SarahSchneider2]

Good luck on getting into the program, sounds like the timing lines up perfectly with your current one

[@SamanthaDiane]

I'm vegetarian and I've made plenty of food that I can't taste test. Trust me, it's easier than it seems. You know how to handle food and season other foods, those skills transfer over. Just follow your gut and your existing knowledge. You'll do great!

[@MichelJanse]

Phew thank you!!! This gave me some reassurance 🤍🤍

[@suechristy363]

Here's a little suggestion for the COUCH COVERS... spot treat with Spray & Wash, soak in the tub with the stuff you used. Rinse and resoak, until the water is clear, and then wash in the machine with Biz Bleach. That should do the trick! Getting a dark brown blanket for Max's "spot" would save you from having to wash the covers :-) I'm surprised that you decided to move forward with the culinary hybrid program. Hmmmmmm... interesting

[@MichelJanse]

Oo thank you Sue🤍🤍

[@cpagoals]

I ADORE that you wore that tailored dress-to-skirt to dinner, I LOVE how it looks on you! I can't wait to hear the results of your interview, I hope you can find a way to do everything you want to do without getting burnt out, you are delightful!

[@louyoung7515]

😂 “the silence is so loud” moment was amazing 😂🤣🫶🏻

[@rondastothers472]

Might I suggest with the couch cushions that periodically take the covers to the cleaners and they will be white and bright.

[@crissy7312]

I’m half in… so maybe you do this… let your couch covers dry in the sun ☀️ The sunshine will disinfect and bleach them!

[@itsalliemac]

mattress topper in one of those vacuum sealed bags! Target has HUGE ones!

[@juliewells4282]

I could never have a white couch. Between myself and my dog we’d turn it brown. It’s dark colored couches for me to hide the dirt-which sounds gross as I write it 🫢. A nice white couch looks so nice though.

[@lo.b108]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but with celiac and tasting foods, are you able to taste the foods but not consume them (spit them out before you swallow and then cleanse your mouth with water) or would even that make you sick? I always appreciate learning more about food sensitivities from your content.

[@radhikam2401]

[@kristinkostecki1200]

House chores and organizing is not taxing. It’s just what you do when you don’t live with your parents (unless you help them$ or a butler. Michel finds it relaxing and I can totally relate. She won’t film herself sitting on the couch or sleeping for 25 minutes but you can be sure she’s doing that as well. I don’t like your comment and it is not showing you care. It sounds condescending.

Please don't gift alcohol to people you don't know. They could be an alcoholic and you could trigger a relapse :(

I'm surprised that the school isn't more accommodating for dietary restrictions.

[@ChristineS-sf3rc]

I thought so too...😥

[@pamm2652]

It kind of makes sense. If they are having more people than they can let in. I've worked in the food services area and they don't really like having employees with allergies. It creats more work for other employees. Because you should be tasting things. So they are less likely to want you in a regular restaurant. Which effects their numbers on how likely you are to get a job if you come here.

[@jennyhammond9261]

@@pamm2652 I just thought they'd want someone on staff that knows about allergies/that can accommodate customers.

[@pamm2652]

@jennyhammond9261 depends on the restaurant and maybe the state you're in. On how much they feel, that would be beneficial and focused on it. Gluten-free isn't a 1 to 1 replacement, so the school can't just say use this it will be the same thing. And tends not to have the same texter.
