hi guys! two things...
1. stay tuned until the end for an easy giveaway of some fun products ❤️
2. do you all prefer / uploads OR / uploads? I plan to post 3x a week a bit in December, but in 2022, I'm thinking of switching to Tuesdays and Thursdays. let me know whatcha think 💫
I hope you all are well!
I like Saturday’s but if it’s easier for your lifestyle to do Thursday’s, do what’s best for you!
I think Tuesdays and Thursdays would be great! I personally like uploads during the week but love your content regardless, lol! :)
I personally watch more content during the week vs the weekend, but I definitely go back and watch videos posted on the weekend. I love your calming, uplifting, and cozy videos. May the Lord continue to bless you ❤️
Do what works best for you! Ill watch regardless. I love your videos! I found your channel last month and you have been a great inspiration for me.
Whatever works for you and allows you to earn higher ad sense dec pay lol
my favorite thing about the holiday season is obviously being with the family part, but also being at church on christmas eve service is one of the most amazing things ever just something so amazing about the church during the christmas season 🥰🥰
izzybellerrr!! 🥰❤️
Nearly screamed at work because I am excited for the length of this vlog and the content in it. Thank you for always being vulnerable and open with what you share with us - it is truly inspiring and motivating!! Can't wait to watch this video in its entirety when I get home :) AND your editing has been on FLEEK!! I see all the effort you're putting in on making these videos a cinematic experience
On another note - Tuesdays and Thursdays would be awesome for 2022!!
I am so thankful that you appreciate long videos and don't hate them, haha. sometimes I think it's crazy putting out a 35 minute video!
My favorite thing is the joy & happiness from decorated trees, Christmas lights, Christmas music, Christmas Eve candlelight service, the slowness of Christmas morning. All of it!!!!! 🎄
I’ve struggled with horrible cystic acne for years and completely empathize with how you feel 💕 earlier this year I got a food sensitivity blood test done and since cutting out my trigger foods my skin had completely cleared (it has also really helped healing pimple “stains”) I also don’t get bloated after eating anymore. I know you mentioned gluten and dairy but I found it really helpful to know specifically what foods and proteins trigger inflammation in my body. You don’t have to cut them out completely but even reducing how often you eat them is really helpful! Wishing you the best of luck with your skin journey 😊
You mention this all the time in your recent videos, but probably what I appreciate most is the cozy, warm feeling that the holiday season brings... between lighting the tree, the music, and the inherent kindness that seems to come out through friends, family, and strangers. I try to remember to slow down and appreciate the small things like Christmas lights and a silly Christmas movie.
Loving the extra content! I can't wait to watch on my lunch break :-) your vlogs are so calm and peaceful!
Loved this video! My favorite thing about the holiday season is all the fellowship it brings ♥️🎄 Merry Christmas!
I love the nostalgia that the season brings, and having time off to spend with family and be present
Michelle!! You never fail to put me in a good mood and brighten my day. Thanks for always putting out genuine videos. The holiday season brings me so much joy because I get to watch my niece and nephew experience family traditions and get super excited for all the fun activities, so special. ❤️
The thing I appreciate the most is everyone’s contagious joy ♥️
My favorite thing about the holidays is: Spending time with family. Sitting around the table and having conversation while enjoying some good food. This year we were blessed with our first grandchild Isaiah. We love him so much and can't wait to see him grow up. I love your videos!
♥️♥️ I love baking during the holiday season! (:
My absolute favorite thing during the holidays is going on an annual ice skating/christmas light seeing date with my boyfriend! so fun and memorable! ☃️🎄
Thank you for all your great videos and content absolutely love it!! My favorite thing about this season would have to be the lights and general cheer it brings!!
I’m spending my first winter in a really cold province and the seasonal sads are affecting me. I love how motivating and calming your videos are. It’s like catching up with a friend. Also love that you are getting cache a stocking!
Hi Michelle! What I appreciate most about the holiday season is spending extra with with the ones I love most and seeing them light up when they receive the gifts I’ve picked out for them 💕… also cookies lol
clips from the basketball game are so so so so so pure 🥺🥺
I love the cozy nights with christmas lights and happy music!
Hi Michelle, I love watching your videos and always look forward to them💕 I am looking forward to the holidays because I like seeing family and friends I haven’t seen in awhile! Also the food😍😍

I love the magical holiday feeling around New York City! From the tree, holiday lights, store front windows - truly the best!

My favorite thing about the holiday season is just the joy and coziness that is almost universal. Spending time with family and new rhythms too.
@mrslaurenluna
I just love your videos so much! You’re so sweet and inspiring!!
I love being able to put aside responsibilities for a short while and spend relaxing and quality time with my family❤
I have always struggled with acne and what I adore about christmas is going to my grandma's house with my dog and just eating cookies and don't having to watch what I eat because my skin would freak out I just don't care for christmas hahaha and also spending time all together, playing games and just laughing so much! Hope you and your loved ones have an amazing christmas! Love your videos so much Michelle
I have many favorite parts of the holiday season. This year I am trying to do a daily Advent devotional to prepare my heart for Christmas. Outside of that, I love decorating with my family. I also really enjoy being home and cozy. Its always the best being able to spend each day being grateful and hopeful!
I absolutely LOVE how Cash every time you show something to the camera is like "well.. I'm concerned.. is this something for me?" It just makes my day.
love from Germany xx
stumbled upon your channel and i am OBSESSED with your content and cozy vibes LOOOOVE 🤍
Cash was so funny in this vlog, I loved it! And Tuesday’s & Thursday’s work great for next year! I love your longer videos, too! I like watching them when I’m unwinding or cleaning (:
My favorite part about the holiday season is definitely getting to spend time with my family! 🎄✨🥰

I am so thankful for family and health especially during this holiday season. I always admire how close you are with your family too. I hope you’re holiday season is filled with warmth and joy ❤️
The thing I love about the holidays is the food, being able to be with family and cozy weather
You have been one of my all time favorite TH-camrs since I was in high school/watching you in high school! Such a sweet kinda hearted soul, the perfect role model and a friend I wish I had! Thank you for being you and making the content that you do!
My favorite part of the holiday season is the reminder to be giving ❤️ not only with your money/gifts but with time & love.
I’m loving the longer videos!
But I really appreciate the kindness of others during the holiday season. People are more generous and willing to help and it just shows people’s hearts during this time.
Omg Cash looks like a full grown boy! Gosh he’s a love bug!
Also I don’t have an IG but still wanted to say my favorite part of the holidays is the warm vibes and getting to be with loved ones. All the animals make it loving and cozy too.
This was the most calming and wholesome vlog to start my morning 💕
I was listening to your podcast and it ended right when I finished cooking and decided to hop on your channel to watch something else. I love you content Michelle! God Bless! ❤️🙏🏻

i love playing your videos while i reset my room in the mornings🥺 my favorite thing about the holiday season is that all my siblings get together to have dinner and hang out :) (i have a lot of siblings like you so it’s always nice when we can be together)
My fave thing is baking! 😍 I love making and decorating lots of treats to share with my friends and family. I don't have them through the year so it's extra special :)

Hi Michelle!! I love your content so so SO much. It makes me so motivated and and you set such a good example of a women of God❤️ I love how you show joys in the simple life because that it truly what we should appreciate. To answer your question my FAV thing about the holidays is how it brings my family together and how we can appreciate the birth of our savior. Can’t wait to see more of your videos!!💖
My favourite thing about Christmas is that life slows down for the week of Christmas and you get a break from life to spend time with family ❤️
I contemplated a run this morning and your video made me get out there! Thank you for inspiring a healthy balanced life!
I love your plaid apron! So cute!!
First of all I definitely wanna get that puffer 😍 and also my favorite thing when it comes to the holiday season is all the cozy vibes that come along with it. From spending more intimate time with family to drinking hot coffee drinks and dressing warmer. Don’t get to do that often since CA doesn’t exactly provide seasons living on the coast and all. Hope you and your fam have a great holiday season 🤍
Loving the extra videos! Also, great to see you and Michel colab the other day, love both your channels.
I am most thankful for my dog, River Roo, of course! He loves me unconditionally and makes me so so happy🐶🤎
That red puffer jacket suits you so well! The color is very festive! ❤️
Aww so sweet of you to do a giveaway! I love people's generous attitudes and spirits during the holiday season:)

My favorite part of the holidays is all the time off work to be able to spend with my loved ones ❤️
I love getting to really have the time to spend with my family and getting to be together and be grateful for everything I have. I know that is so typical but I love it @mrsemmachambers have a merry Christmas xx

You were dancing while playing basketball? Lol that was cute. Also, Oswald Chambers devotional is a really good one❤
Chocolate ALWAYS breaks me out. I just thought I would mention that since you said you've been craving it a lot recently.🥰
Ahh SO relatable with acne. I am 22, was on acutane in high school, and here I am with acne literally all over my face. I just got off hormonal bc so I’m sure that’s part of the reason why but I wish it would just go away. So frustrating 🤪 BUT, I am so encouraged to see that it’s not just me who struggles with it. Thankful for your vids, Michelle! 🤍
Yay a new video! Happy Thursday!
happy Thursday too, Rachel! ❤️
