Thank you for vocalising your anger at Mel's passing. That has been my reaction also. Angry for her children and husband who she was taken from, anger for the bright future that she was robbed of, the birthdays and Christmases, the milestones, angry that what little time she had was spent in so much pain. The world needs more people like Mel, not less. I just can't make sense of it. I'm sorry you were unwell also and I am glad your friend's father is feeling better. I think Wayne Goss said it best, "getting older is a priviledge".
While I am mostly feeling incredible sadness rather than anger at Mel’s passing, I still struggle to accept what happened and every day I am kind of still waiting for an upload of one her videos that can confirm that her death is just a prank gone on for too long.😞
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. After I finally could even believe that it was true (at first I thought her account was hacked) I could only think so angrily about how unfair this was. Why? It made me really upset. Still get upset thinking about it. I spend a lot of time being really anxious and panicking about how I'm closer to 30 than I am to 20, but the way Wayne Goss said it made me really rethink why I am so anxious about getting old.
When I lost my dad a few years ago I remember reading something that stuck with me: “Death ends a life, not a relationship”
As a widow, I say that all the time. My husband and I even changed our vows to 'til eternity do us part" when we renewed our vows, saying if one passed, it still couldn't end us.
Yes, ..."Love doesn't die, people do"...❤🕊
I'm sorry for your loss, Lisa. Sounds like your dad was wonderful like mine was.
You are making me cry and think about my father, Lisa!
@@betsybabf748 - So beautiful!
I love Neil Degrasse Tyson’s take on death. If we were able to live forever there would be no reason to get up every day and work towards dreams,goals,and accomplishments. It’s because we know at some point we are going to die we are driven to try and live our best lives. I found it quite inspirational.
I can’t seem to shake Mel’s death. She’s just on my heart every day.
Same.
Yeah, strange how a stranger can set up camp in your heart, huh?
Me too. I can’t believe she’s gone.
Same
@@annem8126 exactly how I feel about Mel💔❤️
Thank you for sharing your ups and downs with us Michele. These last two years have been sobering indeed. I appreciate knowing I'm not the only one going through it.
Mel was lovely and she left something for everyone, I mean everyone who ever watched her. I hope her kids and husband will find support they so badly need now. Thanks for remembering her with your nice words and emotions. x
My heart hurts so bad for her friends and family. She had this amazing light about her. She has touched a lot of people's lives. 💗
Mel was such a bright, warm and beautiful light on this platform and the loss felt by all of her followers speaks volumes about how her spirit radiated through the screen and into our hearts. ♥️😔
…and just like that you’re 65 and hopefully have 20 good years left. Take great joy in each and everyday and take time to smell your beautiful flowers. Make Michele happy and all will be well! Great vlog! Be well! 😊
Hopefully, all years will be good years 🌹
I'm just thinking about this now, but nearly a year after watching a vlog of yours where you explained your morning pages, I adopted the practice and it has helped me so very much during some very difficult times. So I wanted to say "thank you" for sharing that small piece of your life with us!
I came off RUclips for quite a while when Dad was diagnosed with cancer. Today has been 2 years since he's been gone. When I came back on here, I was checking on all of you, and I was stunned. She was such a bright light, and my heart goes out to all her friends, her husband, and children. ❤ And yes, the past two years have sucked. I am sorry for your loss, Michele.
I lost my dad at same month I gave birth to my daughter. He was in China, I couldn’t make it to see him for the last time. I’m still angry at myself every time I thinking about him which is very very often, I couldn’t let this feeling go. I hope everyone can cherish the time with their love ones.
Good afternoon my friend 🥰. This last two years have been filled with just unthinkable trauma. I felt all of your pain and just wanted to give you a virtual hug. With Mel passing away so young and leaving behind kids and a family hit me hard. You are so right about life being short. I’m so glad that your friends dad is doing well. It must felt so good to have your friend come over and just hang. Miss butters must of loved all the attention. She looked extra adorable in this vlog. Those towels looked yummy and I need some new one, mine are old and stiff now. I will donate the old ones to the vets office. I love the new table and those chairs are fantastic!! Thank you for sharing your life. Love ya ♥️♥️
💗
I connected to Mel because I to suffer from eds and chronic pain.. I'm sad she's no longer here.. but happy she's pain free now
I love your blogs! Glad to see I’m not the only one that uses gloves for house chores. ☺️ I spend so much on nail appointments. Not going to let cleaning supplies ruin them. 😆
The constant washing dries out your skin too! Gotta protect those hands.
I use them too!! Yes, it saves our nails & skin but it also is great because then you don’t have the possibility of touching anything yucky this way!! Somehow I could not find my rubber gloves one day so I pulled out latex Dr gloves.. I was so used to wearing gloves there was no way I could clean without something covering my hands 🤦🏻♀️!!
@@MissEMc2 Absolutely! I’ve got a set of gloves for the kitchen, general cleaning, and cleaning my makeup brushes. I’m a bit obsessed! 🤣
@@monarock9552 I totally understand & am with you!!! 😉
You are so funny after blow drying your hair. Your vlogs continue to be my favorite thing on RUclips. I appreciate you sharing your vulnerability with us! Sending love!
I still am not in a good place about Mel. My heart hurts so bad for her kids, husband, for Kelsee Briana Bai… for everyone who knew and loved her. I’m so tired. That was the straw that broke my back in the last couple years of a dumpster fire of our lives.
Take care Charli 💗
I started following Mel after you mentioned her, Michele, a few years ago, I’m so happy you did because I loved her. I was so shocked when I learnt of her death - also from you, as it turned out. What a gorgeous woman all round. So brave in dealing with her health issues and so, graceful and elegant. I shall miss her. But so happy I watched her for as long as I did.
I love spending time with you. Be well and happy!
I lost my dad this year. I know the feeling of loss. Mel will be deeply lost in this beauty community. Love these vlogs. Have a beautiful weekend.
I always appreciate you sharing your thoughts even during the most emotional of times. I hope you're taking care of yourself! Also, I hope the image of me sitting down to watch this video with a big bowl of chips only to then watch you workout makes you chuckle haha
I just appreciate you so much. Can't put my finger on just why but I do. You are truly a class act. Great vlog. 👍
My first emotion was disbelief when I saw Mel passed away it’s been so hard for me because I watch her everyday and felt like I knew her personally. We have emailed a few times over the years and My vertigo has been really bad since also I’m just trying to get better thanks for your thoughts and emotions.
Hi Michele- man I love that rowing machine! Wish I had room for one of those! What a total body work out- except for legs, but you got that covered! What STUNNING flower arrangements! I love both of them. They make me so happy- those 🌻’s are everything. Glad your vertigo is improving.
Hello Michele, I really enjoyed this vlog. I got very emotional about Mel's passing as well and I can't stop thinking how short life is. It's so sad and frustrating at the same time to see such a young person pass away. I've never had the chance to communicate with Mel but I was hoping to get to know her some day... Your vlogs always relax me and I'm happy I had the chance to watch this one. Sending you much love. xoxo
P.S. the flower arrangement that you purchased makes me happy! I need to order one for myself :)
Good morning, Michele! I miss Mel so much! I cried a lot when I found out that she died, after the initial shock and disbelief subsided. I dreamt about her last night.
I suck at using eye cream. I remember to use it about twice a week at best.
Late to watching this I totally agree life is short Mel is the perfect example of this sad doesn’t even cover it sounds like having your friends visit was definitely what u needed x
I know mel’s passing has left a lot of her subscribers in disbelief. Such a bright shiny star who’s been stolen from life wayyy too early. I’m sad still. I still love watching her videos. I wish the best for her friends and family and of course her husband and children xx may mel Rest In Peace!
Mel is and will always be missed, not just for her valuable content, but her sweet personality. May God ease her family’s pain, as well as anyone and everyone who has felt the void she left behind. It saddens me to think of how her children are doing without their mother. I can’t help but remember all the rude and ruthless comments made on some videos, where I would feel the urge to slap some people silly. I wonder how they feel now! Are they feeling any kind of regret? People need to be kinder to each other and stop hurting others’ feelings. They need to stop bullying! In this case, how do they say they’re sorry? I miss Mel so much, as I used to look forward to watching her just minutes after she’d upload her videos! It’s sad she’s not here, but it’s beautiful to see how many people love her and how she’s been a wonderful friend to so many people. That is a great blessing!
I have worked for one of the big four auditing compay and at this time I had vertigo, too. Be careful, you have too much stress and work and your body says to take a time out. I didn't watch so many videos of Mel, but I was surprised, that her death shocked me. Life needs more appreciation.
It's so good to watch your vlog ... Miss Butters steals the show every single time 😍.
I'm so relieved to hear your friends father is on the road to recovery, that's such a blessing for you both.
Thank goodness you had your girlfriends with you at an incredibly painful and worrying time. I truly feel you needed them and the distractions they brought "to the table".
Mel's passing has left an void so deep and empty, I just can't come to terms with any of it.
I am so very grateful for your uploads Michele, they really got my through the roughest of times. Thank you.
My love, thoughts and prayers are with her husband (Eric) and her children, her extended family and, of course, her very close friends. May they all find a place of peace. 🙏🙏🕊🕊🙏🙏🕊🕊🙏🙏🕊🕊🙏🙏
Much love to you always, 💗💗💗💗
Thank you so much for your kind words about Mel. We all miss her so much. She is so loved.💙💙💙
We all agree that life is too short and Mel’s passing is so sad and devastated. We underestimate stress and definitely need to minimize it.
It is so exciting you will have the beautiful table and chairs by Xmas❤️. Have a wonderful weekend!
Your vlogs are so real.. love them
Michele, I know vertigo is just not fun to deal with. I’m sorry to hear of it. I, like many others here, was also very sorry about sweet Mel passing. It’s just not fair. However for me, it is comforting to hear you so poignantly discuss life’s ups & downs. I’ve been experiencing more downs than ups recently also so I am trying to still have gratitude every day. I’m so glad that despite the hard times, you had a lovely time with your dear friends. Thank the lord for friendships that help us rise when we feel like falling. Love to you always, Michele. Thank you for being there for us. Love your content & adore that Fall wreath! ♥️🥺
Thank you - I hope you're well and taking care of yourself! xoxo ❤️
“Matchy, matchy” 😂 . Always a good time on a Michele vlog.
While we were all stunned and saddened about Mel’s passing, going through so much painful news in one day as you did is maddening 🥺💔
I saw earlier that you had contributed to the Go Fund Me account for Mel - that was very kind of you & to also provide the link to it - it’s still so shocking that she is gone - we all need to count our blessings every day
You shouldn't use conditioner with high quality towels as the liquid will cover the cloth in a film. It will actually be fluffier without conditioner.
I began watching you and mel at the same time years ago....bless your heart....and the beautiful mel. i did give to the go fund me....i cannot even imagine how eric and the children will get thru this....we always do but my heart breaks for them.....much love....
You need to watch videos on the Epley maneuver for vertigo. I’ve had vertigo for about 20 years and as soon as I feel it coming on I start doing the maneuvers a couple times a day and it’s the only thing that works for me. Seriously, it’s life changing.
I‘m sorry, you had a tough time! So good you are Open about it ,what makes you even more authentic . Your vlogging is so nice, it feels we are your friends and you share some important things from your life! Better days will come, the sun will shine again for you🤩
“ I love the eye doctor”. My favorite comment!!!!!! Thank you for taking care of your eyes, signed: a super stoked eye doc sub.
I love Brooklinen! So glad they chose you to join their team! Try are one of my dream collaborators. The toner with camomile sounds so good 😊 The flowers are so gorgeous
Too funny: I started watching this during my rowing workout. Thanks for working out with me LOL
It can’t be easy to share your personal feelings and thoughts in a public forum. Grim definitely describes aspects of the last year and a half.
You are the RUclipsr I do chores to!! It's the best compliment! You are so soothing and comforting to watch and listen to ❤️❤️
Rest in peace Mel, I pray for peace for your children and husband.
You made me cried Michele listening to you about how really short life is very emotional I’m going through very very hard time in my life 😢😢try to enjoy what I can while I hope my life will change for better 🙏nice and encouraging blog Michele. Beautiful dining set btw.
Take care Gabby, sending you positive thoughts
I had really bad vertigo and my doctor referred me to see a ear specialist and he laid me down and tilted my head from left to right and right back etc. It was a bit strange and I felt so dizzy for the next few days but it had cured my vertigo! I asked him what he was doing and he said he was basically balancing out my head/ ears. It’s been about 2 years since and I probably need it doing again.
Mel’s passing is such a shock 💔 I’m so glad to see the amazing amount of money we have all raised for her family 💕
Beautiful look - your skin is just glowing!
Cheers from Central FL!
I’m so glad you talked about your eye doctor experience. I actually work for my father, who is a really great, thorough, approachable optometrist. I’m his optical tech so I run all the tests you do before you actually see the doctor. I can’t tell you how many patients get straight up annoyed with the prescreening, like the vision field test where you click the button. I’m really glad to hear your doctor is working with you on finding that perfect correction. Most patients just want to magically be able to see perfectly and don’t understand that you may have to give up something, like the far vision in exchange for not having to wear readers or visa versa. This is such a silly thing to leave a comment about but I adore you and it made me appreciate your view (ha!) on something I deal with every day. 🙌🏻
Hi Michelle, I get teary eyed everytime I think of Mel, did not even know her personally.
I think weeks like you describe have the same effect on me - life is really, really short. I'm sorry about the stress you were under, and resulting vertigo, and really happy it's passed. These last couple of months have been a bit awful for me too, my mother passed away in August around the same time as one of my dear friends moved to Spain. Life is short, and it's good to find happiness and peace where and when we can. Much love to you 💚💖💚
Thank you for sharing about your Mother. 💖 Our parents are such a significant source of Love in our lives since birth so it's a huge event when they leave this world. ✨✨
@@patr70 thank you - yes, I'm learning it's not something that one gets over quickly 😢
I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mother. I miss my Mom every day. Blessings.
@@jennifermorrison229 aw 🥰💚 thank you 💕
I always love your vlogs MIchele, its like talking with a good neighbor over the fence. We've all certainly had challenges this past couple of years, and I so appreciate the community we have here. Thank you again Michele and hope you have a wonderful weekend. :)
Thank you for being so open Michele. ❤️
thanks for vid pretty lady. glad to hear you feel better. be safe
This video was so human. It definitely made me feel closer to you and more understanding towards how precious time is. I’m glad your friend’s father is doing better.
Your house is coming along fabulously! Small wins are better in the end because you can step back and say ‘I did it, take that world!’ Keep up all your hard work, it’s worth it and you’re doing great! 💗
Epley maneuver. Look into this. Depending on what kind of vertigo it is, this can help. It is a simple set of maneuvers that my husband learned from watching videos and it really works for me. A therapist can do it of course, but it’s not hard to catch on. I’ve had vertigo many times snd this has really saved me.
You have a great heart ❤️ Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, an audience you haven’t met but is close to you.
What a lovely video Michele … thank you
Thank you for expressing your feelings to us. I love how you keep it real on your channel. My heart goes out to Puffin and her children. I also suffer with vertigo. I find doing the exercises that my chiropractor gave me really helps when having an episode. Look up the epley maneuver and the half somersault or foster maneuver. I use both when needed. Basically it is when the "crystals" in your inner ear get out of place. My last episode was after a sinus infection. I hope this helps.
I, too, suffer from vertigo with allergies and stress being instigators. I have to agree that the last 2 years have been terrible. I’m a psychiatric nurse and have continued to work but it has been extremely stressful. Just recently I have lost my dearest, oldest friend suddenly, have multiple friends going through chemotherapy due to cancer and my sister’s husband had to have both shoulders replaced due to a sudden intense seizure. And then Mel’s passing…. Oh my, when it rains it pours. Take care of yourself and be kind. No one else can or will be able to take care of you but you. -I’m taking some time off from work this month to see autumn leaves and hoping that it refreshes me. So glad your girlfriends came to visit. Sometimes being with wonderful friends can be so renewing. -I love your new tables and chairs! Adore your butler’s pantry.
Please don’t throw towels away, they have a long lifecycle even with a few holes or strings hanging. We don’t need more stuff in the landfill. I use my old towels for cleaning and spills. I also use them for wrapping breakable items when moving, and they can be cut up and used for storing glass Christmas ornaments. Dog shelters need towels for bedding and cleaning and will often take used ones. There are just so many secondary uses for towels.
I'm so emotional 😭 Much love to you Michele and so much missing our Mel.... ❤
I love the Ordinary's Squalene cleanser. It's so nice and so effective.
I'm so devastated over the loss of Mel. A total sweetheart. I always referred to her as my 3rd daughter, since she and my oldest daughter were so much alike. It's so unfair that someone so young should die. My heart goes out to her family.
I'm so sorry about your friend's father. Everyday is like "what's next?"
Butters is the cutest. That face.
I love the chandelier where your kitchen table is going to be. Love the set that you ordered.
Have a great weekend Michele. 💖💖
Dear Michele...Thank you so much for such a wonderful, detailed and honest speech...It's a pleasure to get to know such a unique person like you, blessed not only with great taste but also with amazing sense of humor and emotional intelligence 👌🌹Wishing you all the best ❤
We have to live everyday. Dreams pursued, show people you love them, try those things you’re curious about. I’m learning that this year too. ❤️
Hi Michelle I have been suffering from Vertigo for many years. Initially it was so bad I could don't get out of bed, was like drunk, bouncing off the walls. My neurologist
did EPLEY manoeuvre and I got an e-book explaining how to do it at home. This was the first and most important thing to tackle. My husband did it on me - it is easy really. Vertigo is triggered by movements of crystals in your middle ear, which send wrong signals to a very tiny nerves saying - you re falling.. but you are not. The second thing it was a Cours eof tablets called Betahistine - you have to take a course for about 4-6 months, then you see the results. Then things got easier. I still get some spells of vertigo especially at hairdressers or at he dentist when getting up but these two things saved me from misery and I can live with Vertigo quite happily! Give me a shout if you need more tips! xx
The look you gave when you dried your hair. Love. This was very nice to watch. You are fun. Love the rower. The passing of Mel woke me up. Wow. It hurts. I followed her for 4 yrs. just hit me wrong. I’m sorry for all your woes. Thank you for sharing this. Your feelings with us. Stress is a trigger for sure. I have lupus. It sucks. I’m sorry. Great news about your friends dad.
I haven’t quite finished you video, maybe 11 mins left, but just wanted to suggest checking your blood pressure if you haven’t already. Stress can compound blood pressure exponentially, making your head feel like it’s going to pop & make you have feelings of lightheadedness &/or vertigo. It sounds like you are on top of what’s going on but I had to make the suggestion. My blood pressure kept creeping up over a years time & one day I had a major fight/screaming match with my brother (the only one we have ever had) & I ended up having 2 strokes. Now it turned out I had SLE Lupus & a clotting disorder that were both previously undiagnosed but it is amazing what stress can do to the body & we all just want you & everyone to be healthy & safe!! Hope you feel better & thank you for a great entertaining video!!!! ❤️🤗
What type of clotting disorder? Factor 4 or 5? My hubby was just diagnosed with both and no one has ever heard of it!
@@lisapeterson8929 Hello. I’m So sorry to hear of your husbands diagnosis!! We always say Thank God we have our health but we never really appreciate it until we no longer do. I have Antiphospholipid Cardiolipin Syndrome so my own body is attacking my blood & causing clots. I thought factor IV had to do with Hemophilia but I have no idea what happens if you have IV & V together. I am so sorry! Personally I had to find a very good Hemotologist.. & you should probably too if you haven’t already & if you are not satisfied with one you can always find another, you need to be very comfortable with this person. I have been on Heparin and Coumadin in the past and for quite a few years now I have been on Lovenox injections twice daily which seems to keep the best balance for me and does not.. at least for me.. require the weekly blood tests that other meds need. We definitely have two different diseases but I am here if there is anything I can help with or any questions I can answer. I have been been sick for over 15 years now & understand how hard it is. Especially in the beginning to know what to do or expect or how to just hold things together. You might need to be an advocate for your husband too if he is too sick to handle things for himself at times & especially organizing everything in the beginning. I hope you both have some support to make things easier at this hard, confusing time. Contact me if I can help in anyway... I can send you my email if it’s easier. My prayers are with you both & your families. Best wishes!!! ❤️🤗
Good Morning.. Your coffee mug is MAGNIFICENT.. I love the very different structure of it.
Hey Michele, I started following Mel back when she went by Puffin’s Wife on your recommendation. I can still hear “Hey Beauties” so clearly. She was lovely and it is devastating. But I somehow know the brief time she had in this life greatly touch many and formed who her children are and will become. Thanks for sharing the go fund me info! And for sharing so much of yourself. Michele you are such a beautiful and generous woman❤️. Good luck with the vertigo. I suffer occasionally myself. Sending love and all good things your way😘
So so sorry to hear about hard week. 🙏🏽
Vertigo can be triggered by perimenopausal hormonal imbalances also--due to severe stress, frustrations, and anger in your life. I know better now (recently in menopause) after all of my research and work with a few acupuncturists. Just a suggestion.
This may sound silly, but it’s such a terrible thing that, sooner or later, everyone will pass and the anguish of knowing that we will experience loss and the only way to deal with that reality, as we grow wiser, is to become more stoic each day it’s just the saddest thing. I wish we could just feel safe 😣
I miss Mel... ❤️
Great job rowing at 2:18! I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone at the gym who doesn't know how to row and it's so awkward to see! I just want to go up to them and show them the proper way but I never do.
My grandmother died last week, and her husband and adopted beloved grandfather died two months before her, too (his kids hate us for some reason and are kicking all of my grandmas stuff out and my mom out of the apartment when the funeral hasn’t even happened yet so that’s made me want to fight instead of cry lol), my personal medical stuff has been a rollercoaster (cue constant sobbing at every single medical appointment), and I realized just how completely profoundly ostracized I have become from normal society. What is with the universe right now 🙃 thank god for this community 😭😭😭
Sorry for your losses Elizabeth, take care
Hang on, beautiful 🌹 Better days are coming. Sending positive vibes ❤️
@@myhandlecat thank you 😭
I live what Puffin has in front of him. My husband died suddenly, leaving me & our 5 kids. Now, this horrific hell, is the easiest part. He's in shock & the brain protects us. It kills me knowing what they have in front of them. Every aspect of his life, big & small, has been shattered. All in his life, past, present & future, is now covered in pain. I have been loading "Watch Later" folder with Mel's videos on all devices on different accounts, letting them play as we sleep to help increase ad revenue. Even my 3 teen boys are doing that on their phones & tablets for them each night because they know this hell, and losing one income on top of that is just extra burden when you can barely stand as it is.
Gorgeous! beautiful skin Michele.
It was crazy relaxing to watch you out your dishes away, meanwhile mine are still sitting in the dishwasher!
Glad you are feeling better. I absolutely love your wreath. Mel wish definitely be missed in our beauty community. I loved watching her. I am glad your friends dad is doing better.
You can always donate used towels (and blankets) to your local humane society, they have multiple uses for them.
I love your vlogs/videos, I always feel like I’m catching up with an old friend. Thanks!
So sorry about all the downs of this past week. But thank goodness for the ups that helped to ameliorate them. Especially your best friend's dad's improvement. Hugs.
Truly shocking and sad with what happened to Mel. She was the reason I learned about the amazing artist Wayne Goss because I didn’t who who he was. Aww Miss Butters melts my heart. Such a sweet baby girl. I’ve had Vertigo once many years ago. It’s horrible and truly unpleasant experience. It was due to stress. So yes, stress plays a huge part in triggering the vertigo. This was back in 1993. That was the first and last time I’ve ever experienced vertigo. I don’t wish that on anybody. And glasses oh girl, I cannot live without my reading glasses. I have pretty good vision as far sight wise and everything else. But when it comes to reading Ahh forget about it! Thank you for reminding me I need to go for eye appointment.
Hi Michele! I like your chopping board in your kitchen. What kind is it or where did you get it? Thanks! Jill
I’ll be praying for you Michelle that your vertigo goes away. It’s the worst feeling being dizzy like that. . You’ve had a lot to deal with. I love your channel and especially the vlogs. Take care.
Oh, that beautiful colourful flower arrangement. I think it’s the lower/flatter arrangement, but it makes me think of wandering through a field of flowers and being able to pick whatever I want and laying them in a wicker basket. Well, I can dream, anyway.
I'm sure you probably already know this but I've heard chiro has really helped quite a bit with vertigo. I'm sorry you're going through so much stress it definitely contributes to so many physical symptoms. Glad you had your girls with you. Mel's passing got me so emotional, it's the first time I've ever cried for a stranger. She just didn't feel like a stranger. We have to enjoy this life and not take any moments for granted! ❤️ Thinking of you!
Not sure if you've deal with TMJ issues. If so, it might be contributing to your vertigo, especially during times of stress. Clenching the jaw or grinding the teeth can cause swelling in muscles and joints around your ear. I used to struggle with vertigo and after I got a custom made well fitting professionally monitored night guard, I felt relief from both vertigo and migraines.
Hugs, love and light Michele, you have been through a lot in a short amount of time. So be kind to yourself.
I have been looking for towels for a while now! Just ordered two sets. What a good deal! Thank you!
Thank you for acknowledging Mel. It’s unbelievable sad even thinking about it. As for your vertigo, most of the times it’s caused the the dislodged crystals in your ear (calcium carbonate crystals). They’re basically floating around. There are home remedies of positioning that will realign them, but I would recommend going to an ENT doctor to have them do it for you. Both my aunt & dad had severe episodes of vertigo to the point that they went to that ER. Hope this helps.
Let Mel rest in peace. Honor her memory, remember her great talent and kindness but don’t be angry. Life is bounded by mortality. Pray for her family and remember her great self
All the Best to you Michele--Take care with the vertigo.💖 I get that sometimes & it's very unsettling to experience. I love going to the 👁 doctor too, mine is such a sweetheart & they can catch a lot of conditions with those tests! I've been happily eating lots of salads this summer & lost 20 lbs at my yearly appt last week!🎉🥗🥑🥕
I always love seeing your flower arrangements!
I definitely could relate to the Vertigo. My first Vertigo episode happened when I had to fly home cause my dad was sick. I didn't know what was wrong with me or what was going on. So when I got to my destination I went straight to the ER. I could barely walk through the airport. The ER had told me I had Vertigo due to stress. Also I found out there are certain triggers too. When I get Vertigo I'm out of work for a week, which is not fun. I've since learned more about the triggers and pay more attention and treat the nausea and spinning with medicine if needed. Love the wreath and your dining room table choice. 😊 Thanks for sharing your morning skin care routine cause your skin looks fabulous!
Thanks for your videos every week. It is always a timeout, makeup, new house, Butters ... I am in a scary place, had 2 surgeries, don't know about future.... I love your channel. It is always a light place for me. Thanks.
Sending you peace and positive vibes. ❤️
Take care Jutta
@@TheMicheleWang thank you 🙏
@@ceecee7879 thank you 🙏
I did end up buying wayne goss's newest eyeshadow palette for mel. Which is on it way to my house cant wait to try it.
Just here at work with you playing in the background. It's so nice to hang out with you. Keep the videos coming Michele!
so sorry about your vertigo, I've had it and it's terrible. For me, dehydration, even a glass of wine at dinner the night before, or maybe not drinking enough water due to work/stress, definitely are tiggers. That "cloud" water has helped, I'm in hot and muggy FL so dehydration is constant! My father had it and went to the ENT and they do this quirky maneuver--I forget the name--and it worked, or he would have needed physical therapy. Best of luck with this issue!!
Appreciated your review of Brooklinen towels. Am moving into new home and splurged on a set for the master bath (used your code, thanks!). You are one of my favorite YT-ers and I always enjoy your videos SO much. Thanks for sharing :)
