I’ve had some questions asking which charity I decided to donate to. I usually don’t like to share my charitable contributions, since I feel like drawing attention to it cheapens it for me. But since several people have asked, I donated half of the ring sales profit to the Lupus Foundation of America since my lupus diagnosis was such a big part of my story this past year. What I kept from the ring sales only covered one night at the hotel, but I splurged and paid out of pocket for the rest of it simply because I wanted to!🖤🖤🖤 love y’all, thanks for spending this time with me.
Hey Michel! I know in like your last couple vlogs you had mentioned recommendations on sticky bras and this video just posted on a channel that i watch! Knowing roughly your cup size i thought this would really help. th-cam.com/video/hGwVJVufM3Q/w-d-xo.html
It was selfish of him to text you… knowing this isn’t what you wanted and how much it’s hurt you. He did it for himself and to make himself feel better. You are a strong, beautiful woman who deserves a man who appreciates and cherishes her. Don’t waste another tear on someone who walked away. You deserve so much more. ❤️
I know this may sound strange but you have inspired me to sell my wedding and engagement rings! I have been divorced for over three years and I have thought about it so many times but every time I come up with a reason not to go for it. I do have kids with my ex so at first I thought my daughter would maybe want it but she is 18 and told me directly that she has zero interest in them and would rather I sold them and did something with the money that brought me joy. Watching your weekend away made me realize it is way past time and I am now actually excited by the possibilities the money could buy. Thank you!! Also-my divorce was finalized on my 40th birthday. The actual day! At first it made me so upset when I realized what was going to happen and then I decided it was the Universe giving me the best birthday gift of all-my freedom. And now I celebrate my birthday and my “birth” day each year! Sending love and healing your way! 💕
I am much older than you (56) , but watching you re-ignites the courage I used to have in terms of experiencing new things alone. When I was in my 20's I travelled through 2 states on my own, but have not been adventurous at all in these later years. You are inspiring and a wonderful reminder to get out and try new things. Blessings to you sweet girl.
You are thriving Michel, keep going! I am sorry he sent you that message, I am unfortunately, very familiar with your current circumstances personally, and know how hurtful, confusing, and hard that can be. You are handling so much with such grace, and I admire you, and your strength, even more than I did before. You are beautiful, inside and out, and you are killing it! Also, Have you ever considered actually purchasing a Peloton? How did you like it when you tried it? I’d love to own one, but it is definitely an investment. Loving all your vlogs, keep doing what you are doing! 💕
It is always emotionally confusing, isn’t it? Thank you for the kind words 🤍 And I LOVED the peloton. I really enjoy getting out to the gym to be around people, but if I lived further away I would totally consider it!
Just wanted to say how glad I am that you were so intentional about self-care on what you knew would be a hard couple of days. Good for you! I so appreciate how thoughtful you are about self-care and that you model that for others. Also, I’m so proud of you for eating in the restaurant by yourself rather than ordering room service! 🙌 The first time is always the hardest, next time it will be so much easier. Thanks for sharing your staycation with us - that hotel looked amazing!!!
I’m sorry that was rough. Sweetie if everything is final can you block him? Not out of angst but if you don’t have kids with him and once everything is finalized if it’s not already you don’t ever have to talk to him if you don’t want to. But we support whatever you choose 😀💕
I don't think I've ever gotten emotional during a TH-cam video but watching you cry because he sent you a message and said some things really resonated with me. As if I can feel your pain and I almost started crying with you. I felt that lump in my throat. I'm so glad you're pushing through despite all of the reminders of your past. I truly admire you. 🥺 and it makes me happy seeing you explore Austin (my hometown). ❤️🩹 you are vibrant.
Michel, I stumbled about your channel when looking at date box reviews and I was hooked. You’re extremely engaging and lovable! I know you’ve done your best to protect your ex because your an absolute CLASS ACT! I truly hope you’ll protect yourself & go extremely low or no contact with him. You were doing extremely well on your anniversary UNTIL he messaged you. While it may seem like a nice gesture, I think it could be manipulative. Being an empathic person, it’d serve you well to do some research on people higher on the narcissistic spectrum and their patterns (hoovering) etc. I can’t wait to see all the blessings God has in store for you!
I am living through you! You are beyond amazing! You started to cry, and I immediately teared up. Ya know, I’m glad he was thinking of you! He needs to think about what he lost! I just hate the way it made you feel. Although you are doing things I never did. Going to places alone, I could never. I’m so beyond proud of you!! *Big Hugs*
I'm just sad that you cried. I don't know how to feel about the reason you cried. I'm afraid to express how I...we all ... probably feel about it. I love you and thank you for sharing your life with us all. We care about you my dear.
So glad you got away, sometimes that helps. Coming from an old women, I think the fact that he text you on your anniversary shows you were not forgotten and he did care for you at one time. Keep going, keep your head high you are stronger than you know!
Michel your openness in your videos have been such a healing influence in my life, after I've gone through the pain and loss of a breakup recently too. I just want to say that I know the grief and the pain that you have gone through is so, so much to bear, but the way you show up in the world bringing kindness, and weaving beauty in the midst of that takes so much strength. I'm learning how to be tender and kind to myself in this season (undoing the years of negative self talk and striving), and seeing you share your journey of self-compassion and self-care has been a part of that. 🌻
This stranger not so stranger because I watch all your videos…is so proud of you! This season of life is transforming you into a fearless, strong woman! Enjoy this time in life!
You inspire me. I am 27, happily married and just about done with my graduate program. I feel like the last several years I have built a life I love but absolutely need to nourish my independence and confidence doing and experiencing things without my husband. I recently took a girls trip to Miami for a few days and booked and airbnb for this weekend with my college bestie. Next, I would love to do a solo stay at a hotel. I absolutely love that idea, no matter your relationship status. At the end of the day, you gotta love yourself first. Thank you for the beautiful reminder 🤍
First! Whooo just clicked and can't wait to see how much fun you have! You totally deserve it lovely lady. I love seeing how much you are growing and blossoming x
The phone call from the ex on the first couple of anniversary dates happened to me as well and it is hard. It will get easier, but if you need to cry do it!! The shower is a great place to cry, that way it washes off!❤️❤️
Gosh, what a way to do you. Like all the others, I’m so glad to see you really finding yourself and overcoming some things and just really experiencing life during this season. Sometimes it’s hard to see the light in the darkness, but leaning into God will get you through. I really feel like that even if a small part of you wanted to hear from him, it would have just been best not to. He seems to have taken enough of your joy, definitely try not to let him take anymore. You seem like a wonderful person and he’s chosen to miss out on that. You deserve to give yourself your best.
The last couple months I have seen such a growth in you and your channel. I respect that you are telling it as it is, speaking your truth and being raw even when it hurts. You are helping so many people feel less alone in their individual circumstances by being so honest, even when its inconvenient. We all have our struggles, although different, and being able to connect on that just makes us stronger mentally and emotionally. Keep up the valuable work.❤
I have been waiting to see this vlog. I was so happy for you but to hear and to see the emotion that Brook put you in because he want to text you is heart breaking. I am truly sorry you had to go through that. You was doing your best to make this a joyful experience. I’m sitting here crying so hard for you. I pray you find someone that truly deserves you. You are such a joy to watch. Cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for you.
I LOVE that you did this for yourself! I’m proud of you for treating yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone. You are GLOWING! Personally super annoyed and angry cried for you that your ex messaged you. Also, I had to turn timehop off. It hurt too much to look at for me.
I also deleted Timehop. I don’t have the same experiences as Michel, but a lot of it hurt to see year after year. I liked having the Timehop streak as well, but it hurt too much to keep it up. Such a relief when I stopped looking
Speaking from experience, usually when they get in touch on a day they know is hard can be a way for them to take your power away. Its a toxic trait that I have had to deal with in the past. I'm sorry he chose to contact you, and while I don't have all of the information (and it's none of my business) in my opinion shows him in a bad light. I hope I'm wrong though. I don't like thinking I'll of others. Love you! I think you are wonderful and incredible, especially for sharing your journey. You bring such light into this world with your sweet spirit. Don't let anyone take that from you!
Good for you for treating yourself. You are a really open and kind person and you deserve the best. I was sad to see your sadness when he unfortunately texted you and intruded on your well planned approach for dealing with the anniversary date. I was also angered by his callousness in reaching out.
It is ALWAYS ok to take care of yourself FIRST! You don't need to feel guilty as I am sure you spend what you can spend. This is the time to love yourself and treat yourself like you deserve! I am so happy you enjoyed your getaway! 🥰🤗
So proud of you for taking some you time during this part of life. So many struggle to do this for themselves! I'm so glad you had a good trip! Also that was selfish of him and you deserve so so so much better! He didn't deserve any more of your tears. But you deserve to feel your feelings! Your feelings are valid. And I'm so proud of how far you've come. I've seen so much growth in you. The circumstances suck ,but dang you are doing so well in this situation! You got this! I'm so happy I found your channel!
sweet Michel u look ASTONISHING. it's not about just your (charming!) appearance but the elegance and self-esteem. u are so gentle and brave i think u deserve the whole universe. keep it up girl 🖤
This was such an awesome vlog, Michel! You should be so proud of yourself for the way you handled the first anniversary of your ex anniversary. We always have your back and you are never alone. As for him texting you, I'm sure that stirred up all sorts of feelings of confusion. It's hard to know what to make of it, but maybe he actually has a heart. There's no doubt in my mind that in time he will regret losing you and feel remorse for hurting you. I guess maybe this is one step closer to closure for both of you.
This is something that is out of a lot of people’s comfort zones and probably something they’d never do. It’s awesome that you did this for yourself… really proud of you💕 it’s so unfair that he decided to text you based on his feelings. That kinda stuff sucks. Thank you for sharing so much with us and being so real.
I’m loving this!! I did a staycation weekend for my birthday away from the hubby and toddler, it was my first time staying away overnight since my daughter was born she is 2. Best time ever!
Michel, just found you a few weeks ago. Love this channel! Even though I am probably closer to your parents age, you are so relatable! I divorced after many years of marriage and it is indeed emotionally hard no matter the circumstances….just keep going and being an inspiration to many!
So glad you treated yourself with kindness on a day that could bring up sadness. I am sorry he sent you that text..it seems extremely selfish of him to add more pain to the injury he caused. Also, I just wanted to say (this is not related to this video..) but I recently found your content and it has brought me so much joy! I am a new mom and I have had to cleanse my list of people who I follow. I realized that the content I was watching was making me feel worse about myself and ever since I have started watching your content, I feel like I can watch it around my twin girls (bc no cuss words) and you are open about your religion, keep positive even through hard times, and you are vulnerable. I feel like I am just hanging out with a girlfriend who is realistic about money, relationships, etc. Thanks for being so open and honest!!
You never want to regret the life that you’ve led or the people that pass through it, so look at his message with positivity & add it to your healing, it sounds like he was reflecting, as were you. You’ve come so far & are incredibly strong ❤️
So happy you took the time away for yourself and enjoyed where you stayed. It looked beautiful and you pampered yourself yay! Meeting up with your friend was so nice too. Sorry that made you so sad getting that message,. Look at you, your doing great and each day will get better. I bet Max was so excited when you walked in the door.
Michel!! This was your best vlog yet! Just everything about it. Thank you for sharing your heart with us and taking us with you on your solo trip. Your strength and courage is inspiring.
Michel you are such a strong person thank you for donating to the lupus foundation I myself have lupus I was diagnosed in 2018 I believe I had it years prior but they couldn’t figure out what it was until 2018 hang in there lupus is a tough autoimmune to live with blessings and prayers to you always 😊🙏🏾🌺
This is such a beautifully vulnerable video✨thank you for bringing us along. I’m so glad you took time out to take care of and celebrate yourself🧡 your staycation looked like an amazing time
So glad you got that little getaway and were able to spoil yourself a little. Sorry you had to deal with that text. It was unfair of him to send that. If he was all in his feelings then he deserved to sit in them alone. But nice that you had plans with a friend after to take your mind off a little. Keep on keeping on! :)
You are wise beyond your years ❤ I did the same thing the year I got divorced. There is nothing like being at a nice hotel to take your mind off of everything. You have just survived another hurdle with absolute grace go Michel 🙏💚
I love dining alone with a book! Brunch is my favorite meal to do this - helps me start the day slowly and I love it. Thinking of you during the tough times. You’re doing amazing and you should be proud - healing is an up and down journey, for sure.
I’m sorry he texted you Michel. That was unfair and intentionally inconsiderate. You are so strong and beautiful and loving and kind. He did not deserve you.
Congratulations on taking time for you! You deserve the best of everything sweetheart! So proud watching you experience getting to know who you are becoming with all of these new experiences. Hopefully you’re starting to see the amazing, caring, intelligent, thoughtful woman that we see you as. You’re doing great sweetheart.
You are so strong and courageous and inspiring. So awesome you spent time and enjoyed yourself at a fancy hotel. You deserve to treat yourself. I’m in awe of how you are taking care of yourself, mentally and physically. I wish I was as strong as you are when I was young. I wouldn’t be married now if I was. Sometimes people stay in relationships because of financial reasons and other circumstances. Keep being strong (crying and sadness is NOT weakness) and telling your story because woman will be setter for it. God bless.
You are such a beautiful young woman. My daughter is 31 and divorced after three years of marriage and you remind me of her. Number 1, dog lover, loves to work out, independent, and a shining light. I know your parents have to be so proud of your strength and maturity. She always says “ I know Iam going to be okay” and I believe you will be surprised as to how strong you are. Iam not sure now, how I found you, but so glad I get to watch your journey. 🌸
l literally never comment on videos, but this one hit home. My divorce was finalized in November. l literally have left my rings in a random desk in my house for a while and just try to avoid them. My anniversary was last month, and it hit harder than l ever thought it would. Emotions, grief and feelings are MAD! I'm encouraged by your videos to know I'm not alone. l wish you well.
I'm so proud of you girl!! You're doing awesome. Never give up!!! I believe in you. We believe in you. God have something more special for you. Wishing you a good luck!!
Self Care is so undervalued yet so vital to our mental health and well being. Good for you for taking care of yourself, especially when you need it most. Always fight for yourself. Keep going, keep striving and keep thriving.
What a great way to spend your time, so happy for you! Sadly I went thru similar situation in my life. Always remember how strong you are, that you are not a victim but a survivor. Much 💙 Michel!!
Seeing you overcome your challenges and watching you enjoying/splurging during this season is so fun! Your online friends are so proud of you. However, I was very sad and (sort of) angry that “you know who” messages you and made you have to overcome and unexpected bump. I feel that was a very cheap blow but aside of that. Your staycation looked awesome!!! 💍🥰💪
Michel that looked like so much fun!! I am sorry that turkey messaged you. I am proud of you for allowing yourself to feel those feeling, and not unpacking and staying in them. You are doing so well, I am sure you hear this a lot, I am very proud of you. Give max kisses and lots of loves. Love you girl!!
Good for you for being strong enough to do this! You needed this, so don't feel guilty. I'm sure it helped in so many ways. Glad you could take time for you on a tough occasion. You got this pretty lady!
Personally I think this is the best thing you could have done with the money and with your time over a very difficult couple of days. I'm very inspired by your courage and grace through what must be an insanely difficult time.
I’m SO so glad you did this for yourself!!! You deserve each and every happy moment! I’m so inspired by you, your courage, and your strength in your faith! Thank you for making these vlogs, I always look forward to watching them ❤️ Also, I’m sorry that he sent that message. I’ve been there, it’s definitely not easy to see… so emotionally draining and confusing. But I think you handled it well 💖 Sending you love!
All in all you did great if we saw it all . Bless your heart. I cried when he texted you. I know that had to hurt you both. My prayers are with you both and my love goes out to you . I love you chick !! Hang in there . God bless .
Hugs to you sweetie. 💞🤗❤️ You are every bit the woman I wish I were at your age. You pushing onward with optimism is beautiful, I'm cheering you on all the way from my home in Arizona. You're out there doing it, you're proving what doesn't break you only makes you stronger. ❤️💪🏽🥰🙏🏽
Keep celebrating you girl! I’ve been there and know how hard it is. But looking back now, best decision I’ve ever made! Remarried to the most lovely fella now, couldn’t ask for more. Side note, both restaurants looked so yummy and you look absolutely fantastic! Keep up the positivity, it will get you through to the light at the other end of the tunnel!
so glad you enjoyed your staycation -- so tempted to get aesop shampoo/conditioner now. also hope you're enjoying people we meet on vacation! love both of her books :)
I'm so glad you did this for yourself. It looks so calming and relaxing. Honestly, I wish I could do something like this for myself. I'm not getting over a breakup/divorce or anything.. I just have other stressors in my life it would be nice to get a break from. I'm sorry that Brook reached out to you. And I think it's kinda selfish of him that he did. You're over here trying to heal and move on with your life, then he messages you. Lol, I'd just block him - even for just the time you're there at the hotel. Granted, we don't know exactly what he texted you, but it's none of our business anyway. You got this, girl. I know it's hard. But, I'm so glad that you're striving forward anyway. You're a very strong woman to do what you know has to be done, despite how you feel. That's really hard to do. But you're showing people out there that it's possible to keep moving forward after a difficult experience similar to yours.
Michel happy YOU day . I admire the way you have taken charge of your life and your feelings despite the pain along the way. You are doing the work now so eventually you will end with a flourishing finish. I am excited for all the things that will come your way, Claim them and know that you will be compensated in a way you did not imagine. You are such a kind hearted person who has such a beautiful light 🦋🦋🦋
Such a fun, relaxing , beautiful self care experience. Good for you for pushing through your spending guilt to allow yourself some quality, new, experiences. I am the same mindset, so , I know how hard it is to do this. But, in the end I always am so glad to have the lavish experience and memory.
Also I'm sorry he called you...chin up sweet heart...your really doing great. Have fun, embrace joy, do something that makes you happy everyday...even if it's just little. Sending love and hugs.😄
I used to have a super long TimeHop streak, but I found it to be a little toxic. Most days were fun memories, but when a bad one pops up, it can completely ruin your state of mind for a while. I had to delete it, and I haven’t looked back!
Good for you for taking care of your heart on this day. So sorry he texted you to say what he said. That’s so upsetting. And I’m sure confusing at the same time. Hang in there!
What @ sap him I pray for the universe grant your heart desired I know of a great man called Dr wilson who helped in resolving life issues and challenges.....
Love you and everything u do. U are getting me hope but in a bit of a different way. Thank you for your help. Right now. I do appreciate it. Keep up great work.
I'm sitting here crying...ever sense I heard of stay vacations. I've thought how much I would love to do that just once. But at my age and the little amount of money I have to live on...can't work anymore...it will never happen...I'm so tired. So thoughts of Heaven come to mind, and tears flow more. I so can't wait...family has started dying, my brothers and sisters are in their 70s and 80s...and I'm the last at almost 65. Mom and dad are already in Heaven waiting for me. So heaven is going to be my stay, vacation. That is the one thing I can count on really happening...😊
The text message from him seems like a red 🚩 and a lack of boundaries on his part. He needs to stay in his own lane. You deserve an upstanding partner who would never have you doing an anniversary of anything alone. I wish you nothing but the best Michel❤ P.S. Splurge and get the fancy shampoo/conditioner❣️
We stayed at that hotel when we visited Austin a few months ago and loved it! I also raved over the Aesop products. Sooo luxurious haha. So happy to see you enjoyed your staycation!
That hotel was meant for you to stay at. All your favourite things ❤️ It looked so beautiful and I’m glad you did it for yourself. We’ll worth the splurge. Thank you for sharing with us. Take care and stay safe 💝
Michel I have only followed your channel for a short while but from watching previous videos I can tell through the screen the stunning amazing and beautiful young women you are you are the most sincere vlogger I follow ,,you inspire me as a middle aged woman who has two children one bring the same age as you , what you went through is heartbreaking and I'm sorry but just know that God has a plan and from all bad comes good ,you have the most amazing family I just love watching all the interaction just know you have an extended family out here ❤️ who loves cares and only wants the best for you. Keep reaching for the stars you are such a shinning light 🕯️ in this world and it's a better place with you in it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love you vlogs. As an introvert that has a hard time going out and doing things by myself. Your vlogs are showing me that it isnt so scary going out and doing stuff by yourself as a single person and not being judged. And it’s something I need to get better at as a single person. Ps my Timehop streak is 2096, yes I have a problem! Lol 😂
I’ve had some questions asking which charity I decided to donate to. I usually don’t like to share my charitable contributions, since I feel like drawing attention to it cheapens it for me. But since several people have asked, I donated half of the ring sales profit to the Lupus Foundation of America since my lupus diagnosis was such a big part of my story this past year. What I kept from the ring sales only covered one night at the hotel, but I splurged and paid out of pocket for the rest of it simply because I wanted to!🖤🖤🖤 love y’all, thanks for spending this time with me.
Very generous of you to donate such a large portion of the ring sale 🙂.
Anytime! Thank you for taking us!
Hey Michel! I know in like your last couple vlogs you had mentioned recommendations on sticky bras and this video just posted on a channel that i watch! Knowing roughly your cup size i thought this would really help. th-cam.com/video/hGwVJVufM3Q/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 As I too have an autoimmune disease! (RA)
We love yah✨🥰🥰
It was selfish of him to text you… knowing this isn’t what you wanted and how much it’s hurt you. He did it for himself and to make himself feel better. You are a strong, beautiful woman who deserves a man who appreciates and cherishes her. Don’t waste another tear on someone who walked away. You deserve so much more. ❤️
THIS!!! This is exactly what I was coming to say. A very selfish move.
Ditto!
He really sounds like an unhealthy person.
That ANGERED me. How dare he. Actually.
Well said 👏👏👏👏👏👏 and U'RE SO BEAUTIFUL Michel!!❤️
I’m so sorry he texted you, Michel. That was so unfair. It makes me sad to see you sad. So proud of how resilient you are ❤️
I know this may sound strange but you have inspired me to sell my wedding and engagement rings!

I am so proud of you! I hope you have the BEST time treating yourself with the money 🥰
@@MichelJanse ❤️ thank you! And thank you for this amazing community that you have created!

I love this. We all continue to inspire eachother, it’s my fav thing about this online community!🥰
You are thriving Michel, keep going! I am sorry he sent you that message, I am unfortunately, very familiar with your current circumstances personally, and know how hurtful, confusing, and hard that can be. You are handling so much with such grace, and I admire you, and your strength, even more than I did before. You are beautiful, inside and out, and you are killing it! Also, Have you ever considered actually purchasing a Peloton? How did you like it when you tried it? I’d love to own one, but it is definitely an investment. Loving all your vlogs, keep doing what you are doing! 💕
It is always emotionally confusing, isn’t it? Thank you for the kind words 🤍 And I LOVED the peloton. I really enjoy getting out to the gym to be around people, but if I lived further away I would totally consider it!
Just wanted to say how glad I am that you were so intentional about self-care on what you knew would be a hard couple of days. Good for you!

Thanks for sharing your staycation with us - that hotel looked amazing!!!
I’m sorry that was rough. Sweetie if everything is final can you block him? Not out of angst but if you don’t have kids with him and once everything is finalized if it’s not already you don’t ever have to talk to him if you don’t want to. But we support whatever you choose 😀💕
Peloton is awesome ,i got one and I AM LOVING IT 😀
I don't think I've ever gotten emotional during a TH-cam video but watching you cry because he sent you a message and said some things really resonated with me. As if I can feel your pain and I almost started crying with you. I felt that lump in my throat. I'm so glad you're pushing through despite all of the reminders of your past.
I truly admire you. 🥺 and it makes me happy seeing you explore Austin (my hometown). ❤️🩹 you are vibrant.
What a great idea to celebrate yourself and all you’ve accomplished in the last year 💕
Thank you friend 🤍
Michel,
I stumbled about your channel when looking at date box reviews and I was hooked. You’re extremely engaging and lovable! I know you’ve done your best to protect your ex because your an absolute CLASS ACT! I truly hope you’ll protect yourself & go extremely low or no contact with him. You were doing extremely well on your anniversary UNTIL he messaged you. While it may seem like a nice gesture, I think it could be manipulative. Being an empathic person, it’d serve you well to do some research on people higher on the narcissistic spectrum and their patterns (hoovering) etc. I can’t wait to see all the blessings God has in store for you!
Second this.
I love spending time in a hotel. There's just something about the new environment that's exciting, even when you're just chilling out
It’s so true!🥰🥰
I am living through you! You are beyond amazing! You started to cry, and I immediately teared up. Ya know, I’m glad he was thinking of you! He needs to think about what he lost! I just hate the way it made you feel. Although you are doing things I never did. Going to places alone, I could never. I’m so beyond proud of you!! *Big Hugs*
You’re never alone Michel!!! We’re here for you!!! Look at this whole community you’ve created!!!! You did this!!!!❤️❤️
I'm just sad that you cried. I don't know how to feel about the reason you cried. I'm afraid to express how I...we all ... probably feel about it. I love you and thank you for sharing your life with us all. We care about you my dear.
So glad you got away, sometimes that helps. Coming from an old women, I think the fact that he text you on your anniversary shows you were not forgotten and he did care for you at one time. Keep going, keep your head high you are stronger than you know!
Michel your openness in your videos have been such a healing influence in my life, after I've gone through the pain and loss of a breakup recently too. I just want to say that I know the grief and the pain that you have gone through is so, so much to bear, but the way you show up in the world bringing kindness, and weaving beauty in the midst of that takes so much strength. I'm learning how to be tender and kind to myself in this season (undoing the years of negative self talk and striving), and seeing you share your journey of self-compassion and self-care has been a part of that. 🌻
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this🤍 I’m so sorry you’ve gone through something similar but SO thankful that you are here.
This stranger not so stranger because I watch all your videos…is so proud of you! This season of life is transforming you into a fearless, strong woman! Enjoy this time in life!

Hello it's works I can't believe am with my love again after so many years of break-up.,.............
You inspire me. I am 27, happily married and just about done with my graduate program. I feel like the last several years I have built a life I love but absolutely need to nourish my independence and confidence doing and experiencing things without my husband. I recently took a girls trip to Miami for a few days and booked and airbnb for this weekend with my college bestie. Next, I would love to do a solo stay at a hotel. I absolutely love that idea, no matter your relationship status.
At the end of the day, you gotta love yourself first. Thank you for the beautiful reminder 🤍
First! Whooo just clicked and can't wait to see how much fun you have! You totally deserve it lovely lady. I love seeing how much you are growing and blossoming x
Thank you Michelle🥰
Reading while dining alone is such a treat. Glad you enjoyed your trip!
The phone call from the ex on the first couple of anniversary dates happened to me as well and it is hard. It will get easier, but if you need to cry do it!! The shower is a great place to cry, that way it washes off!❤️❤️
Gosh, what a way to do you. Like all the others, I’m so glad to see you really finding yourself and overcoming some things and just really experiencing life during this season. Sometimes it’s hard to see the light in the darkness, but leaning into God will get you through. I really feel like that even if a small part of you wanted to hear from him, it would have just been best not to. He seems to have taken enough of your joy, definitely try not to let him take anymore. You seem like a wonderful person and he’s chosen to miss out on that. You deserve to give yourself your best.
The last couple months I have seen such a growth in you and your channel. I respect that you are telling it as it is, speaking your truth and being raw even when it hurts. You are helping so many people feel less alone in their individual circumstances by being so honest, even when its inconvenient. We all have our struggles, although different, and being able to connect on that just makes us stronger mentally and emotionally. Keep up the valuable work.❤
I have been waiting to see this vlog. I was so happy for you but to hear and to see the emotion that Brook put you in because he want to text you is heart breaking. I am truly sorry you had to go through that. You was doing your best to make this a joyful experience. I’m sitting here crying so hard for you. I pray you find someone that truly deserves you. You are such a joy to watch. Cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for you.
I love that you used your book as a sign to show you are intentionally alone ❤️
I LOVE that you did this for yourself! I’m proud of you for treating yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone. You are GLOWING!
Personally super annoyed and angry cried for you that your ex messaged you. Also, I had to turn timehop off. It hurt too much to look at for me.
I appreciate you, Becca. Thank you for being such a supportive friend 🤍
I also deleted Timehop. I don’t have the same experiences as Michel, but a lot of it hurt to see year after year. I liked having the Timehop streak as well, but it hurt too much to keep it up. Such a relief when I stopped looking
Alright girl, do it to it!😂🥰
Speaking from experience, usually when they get in touch on a day they know is hard can be a way for them to take your power away. Its a toxic trait that I have had to deal with in the past.
I'm sorry he chose to contact you, and while I don't have all of the information (and it's none of my business) in my opinion shows him in a bad light. I hope I'm wrong though. I don't like thinking I'll of others.
Love you! I think you are wonderful and incredible, especially for sharing your journey. You bring such light into this world with your sweet spirit. Don't let anyone take that from you!
Thank you sharing your triumph! Because this is a triumph, you said you were gonna do this and you did it and it looked like you had fun!
Good for you for treating yourself. You are a really open and kind person and you deserve the best. I was sad to see your sadness when he unfortunately texted you and intruded on your well planned approach for dealing with the anniversary date. I was also angered by his callousness in reaching out.
It is ALWAYS ok to take care of yourself FIRST! You don't need to feel guilty as I am sure you spend what you can spend. This is the time to love yourself and treat yourself like you deserve! I am so happy you enjoyed your getaway! 🥰🤗
Thank you for this reminder, I need it sometimes!🥰
So proud of you for taking some you time during this part of life. So many struggle to do this for themselves! I'm so glad you had a good trip!
Also that was selfish of him and you deserve so so so much better!
He didn't deserve any more of your tears.
But you deserve to feel your feelings! Your feelings are valid. And I'm so proud of how far you've come. I've seen so much growth in you. The circumstances suck ,but dang you are doing so well in this situation!
You got this! I'm so happy I found your channel!
I was in the same difficulties before he helped me few days ago okay....

Hello it's works I can't believe am with my love again after so many years of break-up.,.............
sweet Michel u look ASTONISHING. it's not about just your (charming!) appearance but the elegance and self-esteem. u are so gentle and brave i think u deserve the whole universe. keep it up girl 🖤
This was such an awesome vlog, Michel! You should be so proud of yourself for the way you handled the first anniversary of your ex anniversary. We always have your back and you are never alone. As for him texting you, I'm sure that stirred up all sorts of feelings of confusion. It's hard to know what to make of it, but maybe he actually has a heart. There's no doubt in my mind that in time he will regret losing you and feel remorse for hurting you. I guess maybe this is one step closer to closure for both of you.
This is something that is out of a lot of people’s comfort zones and probably something they’d never do. It’s awesome that you did this for yourself… really proud of you💕 it’s so unfair that he decided to text you based on his feelings. That kinda stuff sucks. Thank you for sharing so much with us and being so real.
I’m loving this!! I did a staycation weekend for my birthday away from the hubby and toddler, it was my first time staying away overnight since my daughter was born she is 2. Best time ever!
Michel, just found you a few weeks ago. Love this channel! Even though I am probably closer to your parents age, you are so relatable! I divorced after many years of marriage and it is indeed emotionally hard no matter the circumstances….just keep going and being an inspiration to many!
So glad you treated yourself with kindness on a day that could bring up sadness. I am sorry he sent you that text..it seems extremely selfish of him to add more pain to the injury he caused. Also, I just wanted to say (this is not related to this video..) but I recently found your content and it has brought me so much joy! I am a new mom and I have had to cleanse my list of people who I follow. I realized that the content I was watching was making me feel worse about myself and ever since I have started watching your content, I feel like I can watch it around my twin girls (bc no cuss words) and you are open about your religion, keep positive even through hard times, and you are vulnerable. I feel like I am just hanging out with a girlfriend who is realistic about money, relationships, etc. Thanks for being so open and honest!!
You never want to regret the life that you’ve led or the people that pass through it, so look at his message with positivity & add it to your healing, it sounds like he was reflecting, as were you. You’ve come so far & are incredibly strong ❤️
So happy you took the time away for yourself and enjoyed where you stayed. It looked beautiful and you pampered yourself yay! Meeting up with your friend was so nice too. Sorry that made you so sad getting that message,. Look at you, your doing great and each day will get better. I bet Max was so excited when you walked in the door.
Michel!! This was your best vlog yet! Just everything about it. Thank you for sharing your heart with us and taking us with you on your solo trip. Your strength and courage is inspiring.

This is such a beautifully vulnerable video✨thank you for bringing us along. I’m so glad you took time out to take care of and celebrate yourself🧡 your staycation looked like an amazing time
So glad you got that little getaway and were able to spoil yourself a little. Sorry you had to deal with that text. It was unfair of him to send that. If he was all in his feelings then he deserved to sit in them alone. But nice that you had plans with a friend after to take your mind off a little. Keep on keeping on! :)
You are wise beyond your years ❤ I did the same thing the year I got divorced. There is nothing like being at a nice hotel to take your mind off of everything. You have just survived another hurdle with absolute grace go Michel 🙏💚

Bless your heart! Thanks for sharing and showing us all how to take good care of ourselves, no matter the season.
I love dining alone with a book! Brunch is my favorite meal to do this - helps me start the day slowly and I love it.
Thinking of you during the tough times. You’re doing amazing and you should be proud - healing is an up and down journey, for sure.

I’m sorry he texted you Michel. That was unfair and intentionally inconsiderate. You are so strong and beautiful and loving and kind. He did not deserve you.
I’m am truly sooo proud of you!!! What a fabulous way to treat yourself!!! So deserving! 🙏🏻😘
Thank you, friend 🤍
These emotional memories really need their place in our lives so we can be completely joyous when the good moments arrive 💗
So proud of you girlie!! You picked a great place and did some great things for yourself, that was so much fun to watch!! Happy singleversary!!
Congratulations on taking time for you! You deserve the best of everything sweetheart! So proud watching you experience getting to know who you are becoming with all of these new experiences. Hopefully you’re starting to see the amazing, caring, intelligent, thoughtful woman that we see you as. You’re doing great sweetheart.
I’m so glad you did this!! You deserve to treat yourself. Sending love and hugs for your day!
You are so strong and courageous and inspiring. So awesome you spent time and enjoyed yourself at a fancy hotel. You deserve to treat yourself. I’m in awe of how you are taking care of yourself, mentally and physically. I wish I was as strong as you are when I was young. I wouldn’t be married now if I was. Sometimes people stay in relationships because of financial reasons and other circumstances. Keep being strong (crying and sadness is NOT weakness) and telling your story because woman will be setter for it. God bless.
You are such a beautiful young woman. My daughter is 31 and divorced after three years of marriage and you remind me of her. Number 1, dog lover, loves to work out, independent, and a shining light. I know your parents have to be so proud of your strength and maturity. She always says “ I know Iam going to be okay” and I believe you will be surprised as to how strong you are. Iam not sure now, how I found you, but so glad I get to watch your journey. 🌸
l literally never comment on videos, but this one hit home. My divorce was finalized in November. l literally have left my rings in a random desk in my house for a while and just try to avoid them. My anniversary was last month, and it hit harder than l ever thought it would. Emotions, grief and feelings are MAD! I'm encouraged by your videos to know I'm not alone. l wish you well.
Girl, you are rocking in this season! Sending you all the loving vibes ❤
Thank you friend 🥰
I'm so proud of you girl!! You're doing awesome. Never give up!!! I believe in you. We believe in you. God have something more special for you. Wishing you a good luck!!
Self Care is so undervalued yet so vital to our mental health and well being. Good for you for taking care of yourself, especially when you need it most. Always fight for yourself. Keep going, keep striving and keep thriving.
What a great way to spend your time, so happy for you! Sadly I went thru similar situation in my life. Always remember how strong you are, that you are not a victim but a survivor. Much 💙 Michel!!
Seeing you overcome your challenges and watching you enjoying/splurging during this season is so fun! Your online friends are so proud of you. However, I was very sad and (sort of) angry that “you know who” messages you and made you have to overcome and unexpected bump. I feel that was a very cheap blow but aside of that. Your staycation looked awesome!!! 💍🥰💪
I am so sorry he texted you. He shouldn’t have. Sending all happy thoughts your way
Michel that looked like so much fun!! I am sorry that turkey messaged you. I am proud of you for allowing yourself to feel those feeling, and not unpacking and staying in them. You are doing so well, I am sure you hear this a lot, I am very proud of you. Give max kisses and lots of loves. Love you girl!!
Good for you for being strong enough to do this! You needed this, so don't feel guilty. I'm sure it helped in so many ways. Glad you could take time for you on a tough occasion. You got this pretty lady!

Glad you got to have a little time unwinding and pampering...you deserve it, gal! 🙂💗
I thought of you the whole day, sending VIBES! Your dad's song recommendation gets me through my days, to hype me up! I love it, let him know 🤗✨✨✨
Becoming Supernatural by Joe Dispenza is a great book for celiac! I think 🤗
Personally I think this is the best thing you could have done with the money and with your time over a very difficult couple of days. I'm very inspired by your courage and grace through what must be an insanely difficult time.
You did everything that I enjoy when I need some relaxation and me time! Thank you for being so open with your life 💕
I’m SO so glad you did this for yourself!!! You deserve each and every happy moment! I’m so inspired by you, your courage, and your strength in your faith! Thank you for making these vlogs, I always look forward to watching them ❤️
Also, I’m sorry that he sent that message. I’ve been there, it’s definitely not easy to see… so emotionally draining and confusing. But I think you handled it well 💖 Sending you love!

I looked up Aesop online….wow! Hope you used it!!!!
Hugs to you sweetie. 💞🤗❤️ You are every bit the woman I wish I were at your age. You pushing onward with optimism is beautiful, I'm cheering you on all the way from my home in Arizona. You're out there doing it, you're proving what doesn't break you only makes you stronger. ❤️💪🏽🥰🙏🏽
Keep celebrating you girl! I’ve been there and know how hard it is. But looking back now, best decision I’ve ever made! Remarried to the most lovely fella now, couldn’t ask for more. Side note, both restaurants looked so yummy and you look absolutely fantastic! Keep up the positivity, it will get you through to the light at the other end of the tunnel!
so glad you enjoyed your staycation -- so tempted to get aesop shampoo/conditioner now. also hope you're enjoying people we meet on vacation! love both of her books :)
I'm so glad you did this for yourself. It looks so calming and relaxing. Honestly, I wish I could do something like this for myself. I'm not getting over a breakup/divorce or anything.. I just have other stressors in my life it would be nice to get a break from.
I'm sorry that Brook reached out to you. And I think it's kinda selfish of him that he did. You're over here trying to heal and move on with your life, then he messages you. Lol, I'd just block him - even for just the time you're there at the hotel. Granted, we don't know exactly what he texted you, but it's none of our business anyway.
You got this, girl. I know it's hard. But, I'm so glad that you're striving forward anyway. You're a very strong woman to do what you know has to be done, despite how you feel. That's really hard to do. But you're showing people out there that it's possible to keep moving forward after a difficult experience similar to yours.
Michel happy YOU day . I admire the way you have taken charge of your life and your feelings despite the pain along the way. You are doing the work now so eventually you will end with a flourishing finish. I am excited for all the things that will come your way, Claim them and know that you will be compensated in a way you did not imagine. You are such a kind hearted person who has such a beautiful light 🦋🦋🦋

I used to have a super long TimeHop streak, but I found it to be a little toxic. Most days were fun memories, but when a bad one pops up, it can completely ruin your state of mind for a while. I had to delete it, and I haven’t looked back!

Love you and everything u do. U are getting me hope but in a bit of a different way. Thank you for your help. Right now. I do appreciate it. Keep up great work.
That is so manipulative of him to text on the anniversary when he's with someone else now
I'm sitting here crying...ever sense I heard of stay vacations. I've thought how much I would love to do that just once. But at my age and the little amount of money I have to live on...can't work anymore...it will never happen...I'm so tired. So thoughts of Heaven come to mind, and tears flow more. I so can't wait...family has started dying, my brothers and sisters are in their 70s and 80s...and I'm the last at almost 65. Mom and dad are already in Heaven waiting for me. So heaven is going to be my stay, vacation. That is the one thing I can count on really happening...😊
The text message from him seems like a red 🚩 and a lack of boundaries on his part. He needs to stay in his own lane. You deserve an upstanding partner who would never have you doing an anniversary of anything alone. I wish you nothing but the best Michel❤ P.S. Splurge and get the fancy shampoo/conditioner❣️
Seems an awful lot like hoovering to me…
You are so sweet and you’re doing great. Love watching you getting happier by the day. Love you too❤️
We stayed at that hotel when we visited Austin a few months ago and loved it! I also raved over the Aesop products. Sooo luxurious haha. So happy to see you enjoyed your staycation!
That hotel was meant for you to stay at. All your favourite things ❤️ It looked so beautiful and I’m glad you did it for yourself. We’ll worth the splurge. Thank you for sharing with us. Take care and stay safe 💝
Truly all of my favorite things!😍😍😍
You deserved this staycation. We love you, too. ❤
Michel I have only followed your channel for a short while but from watching previous videos I can tell through the screen the stunning amazing and beautiful young women you are you are the most sincere vlogger I follow ,,you inspire me as a middle aged woman who has two children one bring the same age as you , what you went through is heartbreaking and I'm sorry but just know that God has a plan and from all bad comes good ,you have the most amazing family I just love watching all the interaction just know you have an extended family out here ❤️ who loves cares and only wants the best for you. Keep reaching for the stars you are such a shinning light 🕯️ in this world and it's a better place with you in it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Keep celebrating yourself. Looked like a great staycation for beautiful lady! Keep enjoying the tiny things!
That hotel is beautiful! I'm so happy you did a vacation on your own, I think that's something I would be scared to do but I'm so proud of you!
Love you vlogs. As an introvert that has a hard time going out and doing things by myself. Your vlogs are showing me that it isnt so scary going out and doing stuff by yourself as a single person and not being judged. And it’s something I need to get better at as a single person.
Ps my Timehop streak is 2096, yes I have a problem! Lol 😂
The drive in is called blue starlight! It’s so cute, it usually comes with some candy and popcorn! Go go go!
