Michelle also mentioned in the video how "both incomes are necessary for her to live the life she wants to live in NYC". Maybe it's all in my head but it seems like her and Natalie are basically having a conversation between there videos and yes, I am also here for it. I just cannot stand Michelle's personality, and I'm starting to like Natalie less with every post.

Re: Michelle Reed
Here are some examples that stood out to me.aylee wrote:Mon Aug 12, 2019 8:34 pmI don't have time to watch their vids in succession. can I get like cliffsnotes examples? like 'natalie said: Michelle said: Natalie said:" someone? pls?

1. In her apartment hunt video, Michelle went on and on about broker fees, how she and rose were trying to avoid them if possible, how you didn't get your money back for any of it, etc. In Natalie's first apartment hunt video she mentions contacting "her broker" to see if they can see two more apartments that same day. Saying "her broker" implies that she is paying someone an added fee to find her apartments to look at, while Michelle did the search on her own and was put in contact with specific property brokers or landlords through a realty website. Major difference there. Natalie could be apartment searching for months and continuing to pay that broker to show her spaces. It can be helpful, but can also be a big waste of money.
2. Michelle will never discuss money...like, under any circumstances. Natalie explicitly says in her video, "I hate when people post apartment videos and don't give prices because now I just watched the whole video and don't know any useful information." What she said is exactly what Michelle did to a tee. Michelle's video really just shows her own experience and isn't necessarily a 'how to', which is fine, but Natalie did kind of make a dig at her. Natalie also advertises her budget is $4200 and I have a feeling Michelle is paying much less.
3. Obviously we all know Natalie has decided to be self employed. In Michelle's assumptions video someone asked "how are youtubers supposed to have insurance and do you have to pay for it?" She emphatically starts talking about how expensive it is to have to pay for self employment insurance and that "one joy of having a job is being able to have benefits," then kind of shrugs her shoulders and has a disapproving look on her face. It did sound a little bratty. Then she goes onto say "self employed taxes are really expensive too. And you have to fill out your own 401K which is reallyyy expensive." I guess it could be argued that Michelle is doubting Natalie's naivete moving to one of the most expensive cities in the country without the financial cushion of a job.
4. Natalie's criteria for her apartments was pretty ridiculous. Not to mention in the first few videos (before she actually showed the apartments in the following videos) she was complaining constantly about probably not having a dishwasher, or washer dryer, or a big kitchen or a big bedroom. It's New York City, Natalie. I mean I can sympathize a bit with the fact that she's coming from Charlotte, where her budget would easily cover a brand new 2 bedroom apartment in a downtown high rise, but she just sounds so unrealistic and underprepared for the real situation. Michelle doesn't complain once about things that the apartment might not have and is genuinely grateful to be able to even be considered for them.
Hope this helped!

Re: Michelle Reed
I dont think it was an intentional jab at one another lol maybe they are just doing things differently. If I had to choose between them, I still prefer Michelle though. She complains but at least she is actually working. Meanwhile... what is Natalie even doing? Some consulting job she is hoping to start up or something?

Re: Michelle Reed
I don't agree nor disagree with the idea that they are making digs at eachother. I'm more confused about why Natalie had Michelle on her podcast. They aren't even friends as far as I know? It seems like it was a last resort kind of thing, or one of the only youtubers/influencers she had real access to.Lavenderandme wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 9:59 pmI dont think it was an intentional jab at one another lol maybe they are just doing things differently.

Anyway I thought Michelle wanted to start a podcast too. What happened to that lol
Re: Michelle Reed
I don't like how she applies bronzer and blush, looks like she has mud on her face.

Re: Michelle Reed
Someone mentioned she works at Village Marketing. I’d like to know more about specifics of her job too. I’m sure smothers a way of discussing that on her channel without sharing where she works.

Re: Michelle Reed
If I am not wrong she mentioned that she does the other side of youtube advertising. Instead of an influencer, she now arranges for influencers to help market brands.

Re: Michelle Reed
Her latest video’s thumbnail is so heavily filtered and blurred, she has no lips at all. She looks like something out of a horror movie.
I moved to Manhattan young, fresh out of school, for my dream job. I lived alone and learned to navigate the city and a career all at once. I want to root for her. I really do. But her sanctimonious “advice” and constant snowflake whining makes her insufferable.
Also, has she ever addressed barfing her food back onto her plate in one of her recent “advice” videos?

Re: Michelle Reed
I can’t see her lasting in NYC, clearly she’s onky there to be close to “my boyfriend Aiden”. She could have def gotten a job near TX or closer I would think. She doesn’t consider NY her home at all. And I’m sick of her complaining and advice too.AnastasiaBeavrhausen wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 4:47 pmHer latest video’s thumbnail is so heavily filtered and blurred, she has no lips at all.

As much as Michelle seems to like NYC, I highly doubt she envisions raising kids there. And I get the impression she wants kids within the next 4-5 years.
Re: Michelle Reed
I hate how she always talks in a baby voice. Like a little confused baby. It irritates me so much. I want to reach into the screen and slap her when she starts the weird softspoken baby shit. Like, she's trying to give advice and be some advocate for professional women while talking with the voice of a six year old.

Re: Michelle Reed
Omg yes, and her obsessive use of "cute" and "little" as adjectives. I get irrationally angry watching her videos like STFU Michelle, you're not as cute/sweet/little/innocent as you seem to think you are.aylee wrote:Wed Aug 28, 2019 9:47 pmI hate how she always talks in a baby voice.
