[@MichelJanse]

***by the way because I know I will get comments on this*** I usually like the curvy line from Abercrombie, Everlane or sometimes Madewell BUT they never ever have them in store :-( I was trying to avoid the ~order a zillion online only to return them~ saga and try some on IRL without buying. But I do think my best success is ordering Abercrombie Curve Love jeans online (but FYI the sizing is pretty inconsistent). Just sharing for my other gals on the hunt!

[@liliesofthefield5310]

I was going to say Everlane lol but I get it! Online ordering can be such a pain, it's much nicer trying things on in store

[@taracampbell6038]

I don’t know if it would help but I have long legs inseam 35, small waist and pear shape… Lee jeans have been very good

[@jamie00000qqr]

Thank you so much for the tips!!

[@newdayscoming4270]

You should be trying Liz Claiborne jeans. Those are wide in the hip tiny waist.

[@justagirlandherdog1817]

I’m a pear shaped girly and the only jeans that fit me perfectly is a brand called “flying monkey” Express and American Eagle. I totally feel your struggle lol!🤍🤍🤍

[@christinevaughan2700]

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again- your dad is the sweetest! He’s so proud of all of his girls:). Love all the parental content😂

[@MichelJanse]

The sweetest!! Thank you friend :)

[@carolinearmijo9]

I laughed so hard when you and your dad both said if he told your mom the claw clips are cool she won’t believe him! Hahah 😂

[@Vees2219]

me, too! 😆

[@savetheplanetinstyle]

haha, same!

[@deborahboley4874]

Max is such a love bug!❤️

[@Pippaspencer]

Papa Janse, anyone could only wish for a dad like him 🥰❤️

[@MichelJanse]

😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰

[@denise_abe]

I love that your Dad asked you to help pick out gifts. So cute! 🥹

[@Nicolelynnn]

i am so envious of yours and your dad relationship michel. you guys just are the bestest of friends, hug him extra tight this holiday season!! thank you for sharing your family with us!

[@xohannahbananaa]

Your relationship with your dad is so sweet 🥺 I found myself smiling in all the clips with him ❤

[@MichelJanse]

[@Clovergirl7934]

Your tradition with the stocking stuffers, wrapped individually, and taking turns each one opening their gifts, is the exact tradition in my family. It takes hours but we have so much fun! Then I put on a brunch with EVERYTHING afterward. It’s a great day!

[@InterplanetJanet84]

Your dad reminds me of my dad’s personality and it made me cry. I miss him so much. We are both so lucky to be able to grow up with such great father’s! ❤

[@miryamguillen2121]

I love when your dad is on the vlog!! He seems like the sweetest

[@klove124]

This has been my favorite video from vlogmas so far. You seem so light hearted and your goofy side is coming out more. I'm happy for you and this sweet season of life you are in. I wish you all the best🤗

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you friend!🎄🥰😭

[@carmennelson5341]

Mama Janse's gonna be so trendy, even more than she already is 😁

[@judykastner6425]

I love every single one of your videos but this was one of my favorites! Loved seeing you shopping with your dad and hanging out with your sister and her husband! Looks like you were having so much fun! 😘

[@sydnaecollyn3867]

I love your dad. He's so wholesome 😭 I wish my dad was like that 😔

[@Hollyfae]

I think I'm watching these out of order, but it fills my heart with so much joy to see you being silly and cute with your family. I feel like you have blossomed so much in the last year 😭❤️

[@MichelJanse]

🥰🥰🥰

[@lvlysticgirl]

Max is so blessed to have a mommy like you! My puppers is my whole world and nothing beats their loyalty and unending love ❤️ And the wide leg jeans are such a look on you! You looked like a gorgeous hippie girl, lol

[@cindyhavranek8456]

Seeing you with your dad makes me miss my dad so so much! I had the sweetest most amazing dad any daughter could ask for too❤️❤️❤️ hug your dad extra tight today🥰 merry Christmas to you and your sweet family!!!❤️❤️❤️sending love to you all!

[@MichelJanse]

So many hugs given in your honor! Thank you friend, much love these holidays!

[@vickyb9918]

How sweet to go shopping with your dad. I loved when you were exercising with max. Too cute. I also like seeing more of the domain. That’s such a nice area of Austin.

[@pricillaolivares8805]

I’ve been loving vlogmas!🤍 thank you!! Love your consistency and quality 👍🏻

[@carmanwilliams8278]

The videos that include your family are my favorites. The warmth, laughter, and silliness do us all such good :)

[@MichelJanse]

Aw they’re my favorite 🥰🥰

[@gzk88]

😭😭😭 Your dad is adorable! Grew up without a dad, so literally crying at his sweetness and the way the two of you interact. It's beautiful. 💚🌿

[@MichelJanse]

Aw thank you for the kind words friend. Sending you love these holidays! 🤍

[@wendys243]

Loved this video Michel and felt like I was shopping with you. 🛍 The father/daughter adventure was SO priceless. Our daughter is 33 and has a very close relationship with her dad as well but not sure he would be very patient with the shopping, more likely to take her fishing. Your dad is a gem, so blessed with 3 beautiful women in his life! It has been great fun following you this month.🎄 Merry Christmas to you and you family. Greetings from very cold and very snowy Winnipeg (Winterpeg) Canada. I have been to sunny Bourne though as our son was in Comfort, Texas for two years.

[@makaylaberks4154]

I love seeing content with papa Janse. I also love that he trusts your judgement on the stocking stuffers with no questions asked. “Yep let’s get it” so cute! Love your bond with him!

[@MichelJanse]

🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@jeneinstein]

I love how you help your Dad shop for your mom. So cute.

[@anitasweet454]

I used to do that every year but now he lives in heaven 🥺

[@lindseytyson945]

My family does stockings the way yours does and it makes me heart so happy. It’s my first year far away from my family so seeing another family doing stockings like this makes me so happy.

[@sheasmith9975]

There’s pac sun stores at the shoppes at Carlsbad and the Carlsbad outlet mall :) for when you stay in Oceanside

[@EP-hm5ue]

My family wraps stocking stuffers too! Like makeup,bookmarks, stationery etc…for all ages

[@edithtierce8209]

Your dad is such a sweetheart. Reminds me so much of my own dad.

[@peggystaton2981]

Your dad seems like such a fun guy and parent. You are lucky to have such loving and understanding parents.

[@MichelJanse]

They are the best 😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@Smalltowngurrl1]

Ahh…you and your Dad shopping was so sweet!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁

[@redberries345]

this first jeans you tried on in nordstrom mid rise WAS SOOO NICE!!!! you pull it off so well😊

[@robynr]

My family doesnt really have any traditions so I think its cute that you guys wrap the stocking stuffers. And the bucket hat is cute and a nice score on price.

[@vickiek5101]

I have enjoyed vlogmas and it so great to see you happy and having fun with your wonderful family and max too.

[@sarameier]

My family always did actual gifts in a stocking too! It’s so fun that your family does this, because I don’t really know anyone else who does! My husbands family always just does candy (which is also fun)

[@ExplorewithEast]

I always have that back space to. Drives me crazy. I oddly have good luck with banana republic. I resell jeans as a side hustle and live when I find agolde & good American to sell. I live in Michigan and we don’t have stores that sell them near me. But love finding them. Loved this part of your video as I never get to see these jeans in stores! 🤣 Thanks for the research content! Haha. But do love your videos always. This was just a extra happy video for me!

[@deborahwilliams5809]

Oh my GOODNESS!!! Growing up, my family did the same thing. We would open our gifts first and then do the stockings. They were always jam packed with little wrapped gifts 😊

[@MichelJanse]

🎄🎄🥰🥰

[@nadinewilliamson1037]

I loved this. Both those jeans you bought love great on you. My family has the same stocking tradition. It's the best part of Christmas.

[@brynvollenweider7580]

I loved watching you shop with your dad. I used to help my dad shop for my mom and it brings back memories.

[@MichelJanse]

It’s such a sweet time right? Love that!

[@4lliemac]

I AM SOBBING during the shopping with Dad Janse 😭😭 what a precious man and what a precious relationship you have with your dad!

[@MichelJanse]

He’s the sweetest 😭😭🥰🥰

[@kenyacastellanos3394]

If my future husband doesn't treat me the way Papa Janse treats Mama Janse, I don't want him! 😆

[@MichelJanse]

😂😂 I LOVE this!!

[@angelrebekah9153]

I would recommend trying american eagle jeans. They make curvy jeans for your body type. I also have the same problem and they work well for me. I love their jeans!

[@melissagrace3973]

Your relationship with your dad makes me so happy ❤❤❤❤

[@MichelJanse]

🥰🥰🥰

[@aram4516]

Love watching you and your dad shopping together! So much fun!!

[@MichelJanse]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ericalarson805]

Omg, I LOVE your Dad. Your Momma is amazing too!

[@monalizacalma7336]

..looking good papa janse and he always have a big smile ready for everyone😊😊😊 i think your last piercing is not infected it sore more because of where it place and it takes awhile to heal unlike the soft part but if you think its infected let them check..

[@SuperMickeyr]

Tailor the waist! Get your favorite…and tailor you waist. Take to a great tailor- many in Austin. The only way to go! First wash/dry and wear a few times… then, they are broken in - then tailor. They do it all the time!

[@helenepatterson]

Yay I was looking forward to this, not sure why I don’t get the notification when you post it and my notifications are on. I actually seek your videos out. I knew you were posting today with papa Janse because you told us yesterday so I’m excited to watch! 😊 can you please post your makeup? I know your using a lot of Typyolgy but I’m curious about what you use on your eyes, the shadows and honestly if you could link everything I’m so close to your tone I think I can order right from it, please and thank you if it’s not too much! Liking the Grwm and chats ❤ Michel, I mentioned Good American in the video were you were talking about being a pear shaped girlie! So excited for you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 And as always another great Vlogmas, the the relationship you have with JJ, it reminds me of me and my lil sister. So how many more days of vlogmas do we have with you ?

[@ChicReal]

Hi Michel, Texas is still my second home. After graduating TTU, I noticed also that drinking is so common in social circles in Texas but it's not my cup of tea so I totally relate. Love all the jeans you found and the cute quilted bucket hat! Love your cool Dad, your mom's gonna love her gifts! Give PRECIOUS Maxie-boy a warm hug for me! 🥰🙏🏻❣️

[@junehulton9776]

Awww making memories with your Dad shopping.. choosing lovely gifts for you Mum x .that's amazing. ❤️ I never had that privilege....as he was a poorly man x and it's great to see you having fun with Max...x hope you had a lovely meal meeting up with your sister and her husband. X see you tomorrow.

[@sullij63]

I use a q tip and white vinegar on any piercings. It really helps. Use a good amount and don’t touch your ears unless you are twisting a couple of times a day. Good luck!!

[@jenniferdobransky5240]

You WON the lottery with your parents and sister, so much love!

[@davidhorwood6741]

Really enjoying the more relaxed format of these videos....🙂

[@rjrambo]

We do stockings this way too..almost no food or candy and stuffed full lol but we get them in our bed at night and if its dark then we open them and try to guess what items are then open later to see if we were correct. It's such fun and my very favorite part of Christmas

[@MichelJanse]

Haha I love that!! So fun!!

[@lindastiewing2456]

We do the same thing with our stocking gifts but it's a mix of real larger gifts and candy and beauty/clothing stuff. It's so fun to unwrap not knowing if it's socks or a larger gift you didn't think you were getting (we unwrap stocking atthe end of the day after visiting relatives).

[@MichelJanse]

Ooh that sounds so fun! Love these traditions 🎄🎄

[@rparkxoxo]

Highly recommend checking out The Well, it's a church in Austin!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Lovely to see your Dad 😊 that so sweet you helping him buy Christmas presents for your mum . 💕 Great to see Jacqueline & Mark 😜 dress Jacqueline had on the colour looked good on her .

[@kathya9522]

Most fun shopping trip ever with Dad! The dye should work well. I always keep black dye on hand because I hate faded blacks, and when I find clothes that fit well, I need to keep them as long as possible. Your size struggle is real - I know it well, except I’m a plus size. Prednisone left me with major bumps, rolls, and distortions that completely defy diet and exercise.

[@epicnessa2334]

Omg I was laughing so hard when you were trying on the hats! 😂

[@autumnbradfish4106]

we wrap our stocking stuffers! and go one at a time too! I love it!

[@karenwyand7884]

I LOVE vlogs when the family shows up!! What a wonderful group of people. Xoxo

[@MichelJanse]

They’re the best 😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@debbiewiseman1]

Happy Holiday’s Michel to you and yours…from Ottawa Canada! I’m 63 years young but do enjoy watching your videos! Wishing all good things in the New Year!

[@MichelJanse]

Welcome friend! Thanks for being here :)

[@charlenesmith209]

Yes I love stocking stuffers as well!! I still yet need to get some!! I love Mr. Rogers too!! I love that he stayed at the weight of 143 because it spells I Love You!! You get it I has 1 letter, love has 4 letters and you had 3 letters!! So glad you got your jeans, they are cute and so very affordable!! Shopping with dad was sweet!!

[@Glm867]

Love the ones the employee brought you! And the next pair! Success 🙌

[@morganthomas5019]

One of the best things I have found to help with infected or irritated piercings is Briotech skin spray. You can get it on their website or amazon I believe. Just a suggestion if you continue to have issues with it! I even use it as a preventative as well.

[@essliedavis]

Today has been so stressful! Yay michel video ❤

[@AudreyDeary]

So fun! Love when your family is in the videos!

[@MichelJanse]

Me too 🥰

[@whitneyreynolds7457]

I’m a pear shape girl. Finding any pants that fit right is an exhausting exercise of patience. Love watching you shop with your dad. It’s like “Let’s get this & this & this & this” . . . etc 😂😂😂😂. Also, if possible show us what dress your sister picked out for her party!!

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Love seeing your parents. Best vlogger ❤

[@melissahall9799]

We do same for stocking stuffers! They have turned into stocking crates

[@melissahall9799]

You can add a couple darts to back side to make jeans fit beautiful

[@allyssumrose]

Michel I love love love the bucket hat on you!! I'm so glad you got it! The quilted bucket hat is so you 😁. I love seeing you and your dad shopping together 🙂. I've never seen a personalized bottle of anything before!! What a fabulous and unique idea!! Great job Mr Janse!! I hope your sister found a beautiful dress for the work party. The two of you together always make me smile so big 😁. Prayers and Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃

[@brittanymlanders]

I thought the best looking jeans on you were the Citizens & first AG pair you tried on at Aritzia! So flattering.

[@anni6097]

I have the same pear shape struggle and never found a jeans at levis that fits :( One jean i recommend though is the barrel jean from Arket! :)

[@Audpod1014]

Redken deep clean dry shampoo is the best! I have very oily hair and it’s the only one that really cuts the grease. And it smells great imo!

[@jillmoe2236]

My family wraps all stocking stuffers and we too take turns opening. Our two teenage sons have been known to say that they like opening stockings the most because you never know what you will find. 🙃

[@karmakauffman7445]

Totally relate to the frustration of shopping for curvy jeans. So frustrating! The waist never fits and I really dislike having jeans too tight on my legs. 😛

[@jocelynstrong]

My dog also lays on my yoga mat with me when I use it! So cute!

[@mitzithomas8346]

I love the Hat....and how you and your sister were kidding about you getting another !!!!

[@laurenmcclung585]

My boyfriend calls you my best friend because of how often I watch your videos🥹❤️ We both have prayed for you through the couple of years and can’t wait to see all that you accomplish in 2023!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you friend!! I’m so honored!! Happy holidays to you and yours 🤍🤍🤍

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Michel happy vlogmas day and happy December and happy winter season and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel because you are amazing Supporter

[@nicolestandish3711]

What a fun video. Last week I thrifted a pair of Agolde jeans in my size for $3 AUD (~$2 USD) which is so exciting because the struggle to find a pair that fits is real!

[@cleansetsandbaguettes5236]

your dad is so sweet! i love it!!

[@T-Mary76]

Aww so cute with your family, lucky mama Janse ! ❤

[@janaebooth9711]

OMG my family opens stockings the same way as you guys-it’s so much fun!

[@MichelJanse]

I love it!! Such a fun tradition :)

[@alissalanden8176]

Definitely have to help my dad as well with my mom's xmas gifts as well. Fun times!

[@MichelJanse]

So fun!

[@NatalieGrace99]

Michel, for the piercing infection, try the Neilmed piercing spray and spray it every day and leave it on until it dries. If it's really bad, get non-iodized salt and do a warm water salt soak on each ear for about 10 minutes, then use the spray to knock off any loosened debris. I have 5 piercings now and I have the most sensitive, slow healing ears on the face of the planet (srsly, a normal lobe piercing took me 2 years to heal), and these tips have saved me many times. Also, try to keep wet hair away from the piercing sites after showering and blow dry your ears on cool right after you get out of the shower.

[@orangemarissa50]

Thanks for the tips

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you friend! Such detailed advice! 🤍🤍

[@jordanlexton7354]

Wrangler has some with elastic on the inside of the waist. I'm an hourglass, but most of my width is in my butt and I have thinner thighs/ hips and I think I remember having a pair that was looser and the thighs.

[@anneliesesmith8983]

I love blogs with the family. You guys are obviously so close. Michel, I also like seeing you embrace your silly side.

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you friend! They’re the best 😭

[@DonnasWonderland]

I love it I totally feel you on the jean thing I'm 10 inches in the difference between my hips and waist and I find jean hunting near impossible. I have always wrapped everything in stockings too traditionally me and my daughter sit on my bed and open the stockings in the morning when my partner moved in he joined in and this year we have my daughter's Boyfriend joining us for Christmas morning and yes we will all be on my bed to open them lol in our Christmas pjs :)

[@stickysteph]

Pacsun jeans are the best. They're my go to - it's disappointing that they do not carry larger sizes in their store though, like anything over 27 is impossible to find in store, it's ridiculous.

[@myhauntingromance]

I hate sizing. I am a midsize (so 14 in women's with juniors 13s sometimes being perfect). I've giving up on the waist fitting perfectly and just belt it. My go to right now are Old Navy and I just belt them

[@sarahs9802]

I'm pear shaped and currently own one pair of jeans that I adore from old Navy but they were the last pair of that exact style on the sale rack 😭😭 they were so affordable but now I can't get the same ones in more colours

[@dianakvitovskiy5899]

I’m in the same boat! The only jeans that fit me properly are the sky-high high waisted curvy size jeans from Old Navy. I’ve had this problem for years and so far those are the only ones that fit me perfectly!

[@cb4215]

Most people definitely wrap the stocking stuffers!

[@yonitrejtman4241]

I love Jordy's "fact-finding mission" haha I'm totally going to use that

[@MichelJanse]

😂😂😂

[@widadnemry7186]

hahaha your dad is so cute . I laughed so much when he told you tell your mom it's cool

[@MichelJanse]

😂😂😂

[@IndianaNana1]

Loved your shopping trip with your dad! such fun!

[@MichelJanse]

🥰🥰

[@morgan3llis001]

i have a 13 inch difference between my waist and hips and those levis rib cage jeans are the only jeans i've ever bought where i didnt have to get the waist taken in.

[@debbieteague4474]

I LOVE your Dad…he’s so cute and sweet! 💙

[@MichelJanse]

😭😭😭

[@erinfagan405]

We do stocking like that too and it’s my absolute favorite thing!

It’s so fun!!🤍🤍🫶🏼🫶🏼🎄🎄
