I searched for my blog on ChatGPT and was impressed by the insightful content it produced.

A Google search of my blog, Charmed by Michigan, does not yield any hits. That's a shame...😔
Yesterday, I discovered that someone had come to my blog via ChatGPT. So I gave it a try too. I typed [Charmed by Michigan  blogger] into the ChatGPT search window. Then, surprisingly, ChatGPT presented me with the search results for my blog. My blog got a hit in a search!
My heart was truly delighted by how ChatGPT captured my blog with a thoughtful insight. 

Below is an expanded version of the text.
I was encouraged by the results of ChatGPT. ChatGPT is amazing!

I'm glad I kept the screenshot. I did the same search a few more times after that, but I never got the same results again. Nor did I get any emojis like the ones in the screenshot I uploaded here. 

For Japanese people, here is a reference.
・encounter      (思いがけない)出会い
・introspection  自己観察
・recount        を詳しく述べる、順を追って話す
・spontaneous    自然に起こる、自発的な
・lighthearted   気楽な、愉快な、陽気な
・whimsical      奇抜な、ふざけた
・showcase       を披露する

The ChatGPT results above are screenshots, so the links to the blogs in '✨Blog Highlights' do not work. I've placed each link below. Please take a look if you'd like😉

I just happened to see the insightful content produced by ChatGPT, which documents thoughtful words and analysis about my blog. It encouraged me when I was a little lost in myself. For me, this search result was like a gift. I'd like to save this one search result that I encountered at that moment in time. It will also help me learn more about myself. Surely it was a comfort.

Making hamburgers with sandwich bread is a fun way to try something new☆

At KUA AINA, you can choose from three types of bread when ordering a hamburger or a sandwich. It is from KAISER ROLL, BRIOCHE, or MULTI-GRAIN WHEAT.

MULTI-GRAIN is sandwich bread (sliced bread)☺ Click here for the menu.👉 KUA AINA MENU

One day, I ordered a burger made with sandwich bread instead of the usual buns.

A regular burger becomes something else when the bun is replaced with sliced sandwich bread!

It's a whole new style of enjoying your burger.
If you are a sandwich lover, I would recommend trying this way of eating once😊

I should limit my gluten intake. However, I still like going to a cafe. So I enjoy sitting back and having a sandwich there every once in a while.  Sandwiches and coffee are my crush💕

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!   Rose

This is a yummy example of a good noodle that people with SIBO can eat.

I like to enjoy food and basically enjoy anything, but apparently I have symptoms of SIBO. For people with SIBO, a low FODMAP diet is recommended. Also, this diet involves avoiding fermented foods and flour. How can I avoid eating flour when I want to eat noodles🙀?

Thai food is a great solution😊!  


Thai food uses "rice noodles" for a noodle soup.  What do you think about this Thai-style chicken white broth ramen?  Isn't it yummy♡?  The spring rolls on the side are made with rice paper, and the mini fried rice is rice itself, so everything is gluten-free♪✌♪

The following extra photo is near the north exit of Numabukuro Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line.  It is an area with a foreign-looking building, a shopping district, and a friendly, folksy vibe.


Is there a charming Thai restaurant in your city?  I hope you find a good one! 

Let's choose food that is tasty and kind to each of us, and that will make us happy and healthy.   Rose

Karoline Leavitt is crushing it! The very first official Influencer Briefing at the White House

Just the other day, the first official Influencer Briefing took place at the White House. Speaking at the Briefing is a hot White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who is now well known to all of us. 

In her own words, "The Trump White House started speaking to all media outlets and personalities not just the legacy media.", "Tens of millions of Americans are now turning to social media and independent media outlets.", "A select of D.C. based journalists no longer have a monopoly over press access at the White House."

After this new effort, the second and third rounds... are continuing already. How energetic! The US administration is moving fast "at Trump speed" at this scene, too. 

Let me upload the very first official Influencer Briefing to commemorate this groundbreaking event. For me, it was a very impressive one to kick off the first 100 days of the Trump White House.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Briefs Original
【Members of the New Media  -  the first round】
It was a stark contrast to the usual Press Briefings filled with legacy media. No one made any attempt at all to nitpick stories, nor was there any attempt to be associated with fake news, hoaxes, or lies. They are trying to cover the truth with the correct facts for law-abiding American citizens.

There was a calm and friendly atmosphere among the social/independent media people invited to this room. They are doing the right thing. These are people who think and act with "common sense".  I really admired the gentle atmosphere💕

English subtitles and Japanese translation are below👇   Very helpful for better understanding!

【オールドメディアの独占取材に終止符!】
キャロライン報道官の記者会見  英語字幕/日本語訳
There are a few places where you may see a mistake in the Japanese translation. As an example, "take something with a grain of salt" means "半信半疑で聞く / 話半分に聞く" in Japanese, but it was written "慎重に受け止めています" in the above video. But we are very grateful to them, as they are always quick to provide Japanese translated and annotated videos as well as English subtitles.

I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful Influencer Briefing, whether you are an English speaker, someone whose native language is another one, or someone from Japan☺

Have a great day, everyone! Rose
