I'm a 66 year old great grandma living in the USA. I've recently come across your vlogs . I've done a bit of a binge and I'm absolutely loving them. Your vlogs have been a bright spot in these uncertain times. Keep up the good work!
Make sure you watch years ago too 2018,2019
I think you misunderstood the message behind “productivity isn’t a contest”. Essentially it encourages everyone to cope however they want / need to during this chaotic time without being pressured by others. In fact, the whole reason this started was due to people shaming and mocking others online for not being on top of their game and being the ultimate productivity bee.
Yes I agree. The whole thing started after there were posts circulating shaming people for not doing enough. Saying things along the lines of ‘if you still don’t gain a new skill or learn a new language, it was never a lack of time, but a lack of determination. ‘ It’s like whoever was posting those missed that some people are losing family members or sick themselves. Or losing jobs and struggling to put food on the table. Everyone has different struggles and it’s disgusting to shame people for their productivity levels in a pandemic; doesn’t matter if those levels are high or low.
No to tik tok, I’m definitely part of your audience who will not be going there or downloading the app. I like the depth of your other platforms, tik tok isn’t for that. I do think it’s for a younger audience. I will be 30 soon and I absolutely will not be downloading tik tok and I deleted my Snapchat a few years ago, it’s just not for me and what my life priorities are. I love your beauty, fashion, home, and lifestyle content, and I enjoy the longer the videos!
Debbie Namugayi I said that but then I got tik tok and I absolutely love it! It’s super funny and interesting and fun to watch and you get little snapshots of mini outfit videos and all kinds of stuff! Less dedication than RUclips and more variety than Instagram!
Agreed 100% Debbie
just commenting not to disagree but to say that i actually love watching some of the edits of outfits on tiktok! (in case you're watching lydia) just ensure you choose to interact with the right videos to get the algorithm right
@@juliannaku2381 I dont have tictok but I agree that helps make it more palatable
There's literally people that I have seen with my own eyes on TikTok and they are 60/70 years old AND they make TikTok's. I don't think you're too young or too old to be on it, it's just personal preference, and I CERTAINLY don't think anyone is better than anyone else or too good/ up themselves to be on it or not. Lydia makes great content on TikTok and it makes her happy. If it's not for you that's fine but don't disregard it before trying it. Whether you think you're too good for it or not...
But wasn’t that the point? Letting those who don’t feel like being productive know that feeling that way was ok!?! It wasn’t an critique/attack or an attempt to make anyone feel bad.
I agree, I don't think it was made to bring anyone down at all. xx
I was so confused about her lil speech. It was meant to do the exact opposite of how she perceived it. I like her ...but this was a bit silly 😄
Almost like... people have different way of doing things, so funny don’t think the speech was needed at all
i would honestly watch a two hour vlog from you...the longer the better ! happy happy birthday, lydia!
Lydia I really appreciate when you talked about how everyone is coping (and is allowed to cope!) very differently during this totally unprecedented time. We all need to be encouraging each other to cope in the way that is best for each of us, and that can change day to day! Workout all morning or eat chips in bed until 5 pm. I have seen comments where some feel this is the worst mental health situation they have ever experienced, while others are somewhat guiltily admitting they are actually loving the slow pace, family time, or time to get caught up on things. It’s okay to feel ANY type of way. Happy Birthday to the stylish English queen of RUclips 🥳❤️🙌🏻 All the best this year!
Ahhh I’m so glad xxx
Very well said.
I’m not sure that Tik tok is there to ‘bring value’ for everyone that uses it. I think it’s just a bit of fun! X
Hi! I understand where you're coming from, but I agree with Lydia in that I feel it can be a useful platform for those of us that want it, yes? I can watch a dance or two and it's cute, but for me, I can wear cute clothing but I can't dance due to two surgeries. God Bless you all and much
Amen! You can't monetise every damn thing on tinternet and ruin it.
Emma Laubscher it’s her opinion
Anna Smith if you feel like it is a bit of fun it obviously brings you value. There are people that don’t even feel like it’s a bit of fun. I understand where Lydia is coming from 👍🏼
Lydia I also have a problem with my scalp but I sorted it out with linseed oil:) My hair is much better after a month with doing it (once a week)! After 2 months I clearly see a new baby-hair.
I recommend it as I have got psorasis since I was 10 and I know that it's not easy to do something with it, until you dont change your diet, deal with a stress and check the ingredients of everything that you use (quality of clothes, cosmetics and beauty products). Might it helps you too :)
First of all - brush your hair, then :
1. moisturise your hair and scalp with water&sugar or water&honey mist. Never put an oil on dry skin/hair (you want to keep water in your hair/skin, so you have to moisturise it :) )
2. Use oil to massage your skin and hair - for me linseed oil is the best ( if you use a castor oil mix it with another oil)
3. You can use a cling film to cover your head and hair and a towel to keep it warm. Leave it for 30 mins or 1 hour it will be enough.
4. Use warm - not hot water to wash your hair a little bit., don't worry if its still oily. Squeeze out excess water gently, use a conditioner and use it as you use a shampoo - massage your skin and hair. Leave it for 10 minutes - it helps you to wash out all of the oil from your skin and hair without irritate a skin. You can also brush your hair again - be gentle.
5. After 10 minutes wash it again with warm water and a shampoo. Before you apply shampoo on your head please use the box to dilute the shampoo with water until foam forms - then apply it on your hair and skin (The most irritated ingredient of shampoo is SLS and SLES,)
6. Apply a conditioner again as always you do, wash it out.
7. Voila! Is also good for your hair and nails to eat linseed oil or linen seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds :)
I love your style Lydia! Happy B day wishes!
It’d be great to see a Reiss haul - I’m obsessed with the brand and would love to see how you’d style a haul of their items! xx

Haha was tearing up on Ali's face at the garlic bread 😂😆
Mariska Luye me too!
Mariska Luye I did too, his Face !!!! It is like. you are eating Pizza and Garlic Bread, and cookie ???. 😋😅😂
ME TOO
some thoughts on the productivity thing - i think as a society we put so much value on productivity that when we aren't productive, we automatically feel bad about it. someone who is on netflix all day because they can't cope with the impacts of the pandemic is going to feel like shit if all they hear is "this is the perfect time to be productive, there is no excuse".
the thing is, this isn't the perfect time. so many people have lost their jobs, are affected mentally by this, and some people literally can't physically leave their homes. so i think the reassurance that it's ok not to be productive is necessary because again, we are made to feel bad if we aren't productive and not the other way around
This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the 'it's not a productivity contest' comments counteract the people that say things like 'if you dont learn a new skill in lockdown you didn't lack time you lacked determination' but I feel like most people have a balance of both....it really doesn't matter what you do though just do what makes you feel good in that moment 🙃
Yes exactly!
have I missed something? Are people telling Lydia directly that her productivity is bothering them?!
These people who are saying that if you are not learning a new skill and coming out a 'better person' then you have wasted this time and are of 'weak character' etc are making people who are just trying to cope feel inadequate and one of them was even a therapist!!! Which lead another therapist to counteract and say fuck off, we are in survival mode so dont be heaping this guilt onto people who can only just about get it together.
So of course if people cope with being productive that is fab but some people dont even have the choice and are working harder than ever to keep jobs for example (me until recently but despite the 11 and 12 hour days I have now lost mine and company is closing) but yet at the same time seeing this messaging that they should be bloody learning Spanish then of course they are going to counter that with 'Its not a productivity contest'!
Happy Birthday! I agree with the comments below. Tik Tok is, well, fun and a bit silly. Regarding the many boxes you get, in the US, we're being told to make sure they are kept in the garage for a day or so and wipe down or spray boxes with disinfectant. Apparently, COVID can remain stable on boxes for 24 hours, but risk of infection is low; so be careful when handling and of course, wash your hands, but especially after handling mail and cardboard. And olive oil works for the scalp too.
I must be the only one who hates TikTok. I've loved instagram and youtube since the first year they were both out. But that doesnt go for TikTok I guess I just don't get it 🤷🏻♀️
Me too
Tik tok is not a platform for value. It serves to entertain those who choose to use it.
It makes me laugh sooooo much, about the only thing that does these days
I dont like TikTok either. Im glad to know Lydia is not much into it. Then I dont missing much :)
Exactly who even talks about Tik Tok in depth like this? I don't think our lives revolve around Tik Tok! Over even hearing about it!!
When it comes to social media, I believe the fewer platforms the better. Quality is better than Quanity!
The “gong” is actually a Tibetan singing bowl! You swirl the stick around the rim of the bowl at a specific speed while holding the bowl in the palm of your other hand and it “sings”. Google how to use a Tibetan singing bowl-super cool!
Happy Birthday Lydia, love your comment about coping. I’ve had a few negative remarks flung my way because I’m choosing to make and complete daily to do lists and be productive in my own way. It’s ashame people still struggle with letting people live their own life’s their way. X
3 hours of footage? Just shove it in a video, we'll be more than happy, lemme tell ya.
Me too I've been doing 3/4 pieces of artwork a day and the time flies x
🇬🇧 hehehe 🤭
Honestlyyy 😂😂😂😂
Unedited! 😜🙋🏻♀️
I love the tik toks you have made! I think it pull in a wider variety of watchers and subscribers! I love seeing your instagram get ready with me videos, maybe you could do before and after transitions? I would love to see before and after tik toks of organization and makeup and getting ready. I love that I can watch your tik toks when i dont have the time for a full youtube video! It feels like it fills my "Lydia Millen fix" for the day.
I get what you're saying about Tik tok. I get why kids like it but I'm 31 and find Tik tok cringey and tacky lol. And is it a prerequisite to be a terrible dancer and actor to join it? Because every video I've seen has involved dad dancing. Sorry to everyone who loves it 🤷♀️
Arpa I agree with you 100 %. Tik tok is for teenagers at best and cringe worthy at best 😂!
100% agreed
The only thing that’s worse than Tik Tok, is people uploading Tik Tok videos to their Instagram stories. Stop forcing us to watch your drivel, if I wanted to see that ID BE ON TIK TOK!!
Arpa lol!!!!!true on the Dad dancing!
@@jennymcguire3527 I agree!
Lydia your eyes are so beautiful in this video! That little bit of glimmer on your lids is magical.
Happy belated birthday, lady!
It's probably the tea tree products that are drying to your scalp. Not all oils are hydrating some are more clarifying.
My idea of productivity is doing just about anything while I have a face mask. I feel like I’m getting so much done and it actually kick starts my to do list!!
Can you tell me what your eyeshadow is? The link you posted goes to a matte eyeshadow. And yours is lovely and shimmery! Thanks Lydia! Hope you had a lovely birthday
It's a 'singing bowl'. You can use it to center yourself and is therefore used as a meditative tool. What a beautiful gift.
Hi lydia, being true to yourself is hard! I completely understand your struggle and am in the same place quite a bit. The struggle between just not wanting to do certain activities because they dont sit right with you at your core, even if everyone else is doing it or it is the status quo. Ultimately I think we just all need to be true to ourselves and confident in our own skin, while continuing to be genuine and honest and kind-which I believe you are! I think those are the most important values people can have :)
Happy birthday, beautiful Lydia.
I love you that you do YOU! As the years go on, you will care less and less about what everyone else thinks and more and more about what feeds your soul, unapologetically.
Love your channel, love your style!
Be well, and enjoy your special day ❤️
Found your channel about two weeks ago and binged all of it! Never related to someone more in my life, love that you enjoy the littlest things to the fullest. Thank you for staying true to yourself. Love from Canada xo
I think you're overthinking the tik tik thing.
tik tik
@@theentrepreneur8751 sorry I'm sorry you understand though 😆
Hi Lydia. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Have an Excellent YEAR and BEYOND...what your saying is so TRUE. Thanky i always look forward to listening and Seeing You. Bless you for You LYDIA ...
So glad I’ve found you since lockdown .. you’re hilarious! Also beautiful and am now binge watching your videos whilst working ! Thank you!
It feels so good to hear someone as productive as you talking about productivity. It sounds silly to say but it really feels good! So thanks for that!👏🏻
Happy birthday to my favorite vlogger! And I have been watching RUclips for over half my life so I think that’s really saying something (I’m 24) thank you for being a constant inspiration to me. I adore you- you’re sooo positive and authentic at the same time! Also about the vacuum- I’ve wanted a central vac ever since I moved into my home in WA because I had a central vac before.... The Miele looks like a very affordable option that is similar to a central vac in how sleek it is... thank you for yet another idea! Also about the singing bowl- you can hit it but also run the “wand” thing around the lip to really make it “sing”:)
I work well and cope well when I sometimes chill but also do something productive.
Hi Lydia, that is not how you are supposed to be using the bowl gong. You are supposed to 'trace' the edges of the bowl with the striker in a continuous movement..the faster or slower you go will give you different kind of vibrations (the sound). :)
Happy Birthday from CANADA! I'm an older viewer just turned 60 a couple of weeks ago and it was not the birthday celebration I had planned but hopefully when the world gets back to some sort of normalcy, we can celebrate with family and friends. Keep doing you Lydia....Im not on Instagram or Tik Tok...so I look so forward to your You Tube videos. Stay safe and healthy. Xo
Happy birthday Lydia. Truly admire your strength and your focus. I think you shed light on important issues and I appreciate that you speak your mind - it shows certainty in who you are and it’s inspiring. Cheers to you on your special day.
I've been the most productive (creatively) that I've probably ever been. When I'm creating I totally lose time and days fly by!
Sometimes squeezy bottles can be good for applying to your scalp. Also with tea tree oil I’d recommend diluting it with a carrier oil like almond, castor or whatever just because tea tree can be an irritant and drying if fully concentrated
Oh ,the baby voice is back
Loved your chat about productivity and how it is different for everyone. My husband and I have our own business and the difference in his mood is phenomenal when he keeps busy and keeps working. Each to their own. Cope how you want to cope. People need to get over it x
But that is the thing people were being shamed unless they were being ultra productive! So the people saying its not a productivity contest are reacting to others saying if you dont learn to play chess, speak Spanish and crochet a new table cloth by the end of lockdown you are of weak character etc! Not sure why Lydia has seen that and thought its specifically about her though....
Thank you Lydia for sharing such a lovely and honest picture of life and how beautiful this time can be.. You have shown people how they can find their authentic life and have joy in it..
"oh ya we need garlic bread" lol Always so many laughs in Lydia vids!!!!!
I've used tea tree oil for different issues for years and love it but I've never used it on my scalp. It can cause eye irritation so you would want to be really careful if you try it, it also has a much stronger smell than almond. Happy Birthday! :)
lydia please if you use the castor oil warm it up before applying it because if it isn’t warm it doesn’t really work, as it is sort of heat activated. not a lot of people know about this though and they are definitely not getting the actual benefits of the oil. i hope you see this xx
Happy belated Birthday, Lydia!! Thank you for continuing to provide inspiration to us all, whether that be in fashion, lifestyle, or through interior design! You're an absolute joy to watch - especially during this pandemic! xxx
I'm not sure if you're aware, but the 'gong' you received is designed so that once you bang the side, you use the stick in a circular motion around the top and it creates a beautiful sound.
I love how goofy you are! Many times through a video you make me chuckle! I feel you on the productivity thing. I've been feeling so bad because I'm a workhorse and I enjoy working but I've lost all motivation to edit my novel and film content so its been a struggle for me! I love watching you though because you motivate me in a weird way to try to push through & tick things off of my 'to-do' list!
I’m sure you already know, but make sure to dilute the tea tree oil with a carrier oil (you can use your almond or grapeseed) before you apply it to your scalp, tea tree on its own can burn baby burn! X
LOVE the one shoulder ruffled jumster! I’ve never done one shoulder anything! Definitely on my bucket list for Summer 2020! Thanks Lyds! ☀️
Happy Birthday Lydia! What’s is the name of the color of your eyeshadow? It’s seems shimmery in the video but when I open the link in description, it takes me to matte eyeshadow in color nudelola...
I don’t normally comment but this vlog really resonated! Productivity is a way of coping and we all are going to cope in different ways. I have been so ‘productive’ and it’s really helped keeping my mind off things. In a normal routine, I am not as productive, so it’s been a nice change to put lots of things on my ‘to do list’! I don’t think we should feel guilty for coping in different ways- and should do the things we want to do, for ourselves.
I highly recommend the Ginger shampoo from The Body Shop for your scalp, it has SAVED mine!!! Love your videos! and Happy belated birthday!! xoxoxox
I get itchy scalp sometimes too and the only thing I have found that works is Nizoral shampoo. Follow the directions and you don’t have to use every time, just once a month or so, but it makes a huge difference for me. Recommended by another RUclipsr, Susan Yara in the U.S. so I bought it and it worked!!
So happy you mentioned productivity as a coping mechanism. I feel bad for post how productive my days are sometimes but I could be driving myself crazy if I was on the couch. It's just not my comfort zone. Thank you & keep up the vlogs! xo
Happy Birthday Lydia! I love the new eye look it suits you so well! Lydia just keep doing you and what makes you happy which is what the rest of us should be doing as well! I hope that you, Ali & Lumi stay safe and healthy during this time! To everyone watching also pls be safe!
I agree Lydia!!!! Everyone copes in such different ways. ~You should be lazy if you want, or super productive if you want. Do what makes you stay happy & sane at this time. I’m angry when I see lazy people get mad because I workout like crazy to keep me busy or I’m learning something new. I’m not mad cuz you watch TV and eat crisps. Just do you people ! I love that you still put up all your insta fashion content. It makes me smile when I see all the happy spring outfits. 💐🌼🌸🌺☀️
Happy Birthday! Nothing says 32 like excitement over a new vacuum cleaner haha
in regards to the productivity discussion i think the primary message behind such posts is to comfort those who aren't being/are not able to be productive during this time, rather than shame those that are managing to be productive. obviously we are all very happy (and grateful!!!) that you are able to be productive during lockdown as it gives the rest us something to watch/see on social media etc. xxx
I never really noticed your eye color until you wore the blue jumpsuit. Soooooo beautiful!
That's her prettiest feature is her eyes not to mention everything else!!
Castor oil with some drops of mint oil is wonderful for hair growth and refresh the scalp.
I respect your work ethic so much, Lydia! I understand your way of feeling regarding tik tok at the moment because although I am 24 I just find it a bit cringe and too much. I like the odd silly one here and there but it isn’t something you will find me signing up for in the next 30 seconds which a lot of people are doing right now. I also really like how you shared your feelings about your work routine as I find I am more productive from home and enjoy a routine but I feel like I have to do what society portrays as “normal” but then it interrupts my productive so I’m glad to see you’re sharing ways you’re going to change things up!
I honestly enjoy all the content you make across all platforms and seeing you thrive and do your thing is just wonderful. Thank you for making this hard time positive for me and keep doing you because it's just lovely :)
I cannot tell you how happy it makes me seeing how excited you get about Dominos. I just love IT! Happy birthday Lydia!!! Thank you for always brightening my day
I find you so motivating when I’m having a bad day.... just keep being you sweet!
I too am hooked on banana low lighter , I got it in my monthly glossy box and wow! I love it and can’t live without it now😃
Lovely to see Carrie , we miss seeing her on your blogs.... keep safe all of you, lots of love 💕
I like your new singing bowl for meditation. Different bowls create different sounds when you run the stick (or whatever it’s called) along the edge of the bowl.
Happy Bday Lydia Beauty! My mom and I (I am 10 yrs old) are super super fans! We are in Granada, South Spain and confined after more than a month so far, with smart working and school; but looking forward to your videos. We have add many of your advices and tips to our routines. Stay healthy and with the incredible sense of humor you have. Xoxo
Hi Lydia, The Rodial Banana 🍌 Lowlighter is out of stock on there website😢. I Really wanted to try it, but it says to use Shade 20 in the Diamond Concealer on the description on the item. Do you know if this is as good or any good!!!!!!! Thanks. Karen 😍😍. Xxxx
Please can you link your clear water bottle with the white lid? For some strange reason I can find Ali’s but not the one with the white lid! Thanks in advance & happy belated birthday 🎂
One of my favorites. Real and appreciated. Happy birthday! Love your friendship with your bestie.
Haha we really do just want to see your outfits!!
I like your tiktoks but mostly those that feel like adaptations of your RUclips/Instagram content so I hear you that it feels like just added effort. Loving the IGTV make up tutorials - I find them inspiring and soothing at the same time! Thank you so much for keeping it sane and real in these crazy times!
Celebrating the fourth birthday with you as I’ve followed you for that long!! I hope it was amazing Lydia! Also pre-commenting so you can see my comment and it doesn’t get lost within the negative Nancy comments 😂
32. I’ve been following you for over 4 years. Happy birthday!!!!
I agree Lydia. Do what works well for you. Amen. We all have our way. Your productivity is giving me life. If you pause, I'll wait until you're ready again. Love you. God bless you.
Thanks for being such a ray of sunshine Lydia. You're a queen 👑
I love the sparkly eye shadow you’re wearing, but the one you linked says it’s a matte color, I’m confused. Is the louboutin nudelola the shimmering color, if not, what is that?
I was confused too! What is the sparkly eyeshadow??
I wonder what color is it
@@user-lw1lm1ok4d I would say it is Morganite from that metallic range...
@@lenkabeauteblog I think you hit it right on the money! Thanks!!!!
I hope you see this Lydia it’s not often I comment
But I just want to thank you for inspiring me in so many ways
I bought some of your dresses from boohoo they came yesterday, they were £11 and they made me feel really lovely wearing them in the garden for an hour, and I feel like you really put straight all the pressures on the internet and I think I just needed reminding just now that it’s not a competition
Keep being yourself and your viewers will always love your content that’s for sure x
Your videos are so uplifting, inspirational and just amazing !!
Hello! I just wanted to say, after some long days as of late (I am a social worker), it is the nicest break to watch your channel. It’s like exhaling when you walk in the door after having a bad day. I appreciate all the content, and there is something endearing about seeing you grow over the last year. Love from Canada
make sure you put the tea tree oil in a carrier oil (like castor, almond) otherwise it will BURN your scalp! i'm a huge fan of castor oil. it's the best. super gloopy but simply the best hair oil. and i've tried ALL of them. xo
Happy birthday lydia. Absolutely loving the vlogs recently
THANK YOU Lydia! I like being productive, that's me and I don't want to feel guilty for it.
I think you nailed it on the head, Lydia! People have to cope however it works best for them. If you are a workaholic, sitting still would be the most painful, same as those who thrive with a slower pace would come unhinged at a non-stop schedule. I don’t know why every statement someone makes must somehow apply to everyone who hears it or the way someone does something becomes the only correct way to do it!
Nobody is making anybody else “feel” anything! If you feel like it’s a productivity contest, then that’s you putting that pressure on yourself. If you feel pressure to take a breath, stop and smell the roses, relax and do nothing when it pains you to sit still, then you’re adding that pressure to yourself. This is not, has never been, and will never be a one-size-fits-all world!
If you feel pressure and you don’t find it inspirational, then just stop it. It’s that simple! It is not a competition, and it never has been! There are a million ways to do anything and everything. It may help to keep in mind... everything is not always about you. People share things all the time online and we digest that information in relation to ourselves, but that it no way actually makes it about ourselves. A little perspective, people! 🤦🏻♀️
You should do an Afternoon Tea on your lawn with all the F & M goodies. Could even throw in a few lawn games......ding dong ☺️
Lydia you are SO right, people like to put others down when they are not happy with themselves..... key message here... cope how you cope!
I used tea tree oil on my daughters hair that is as thick as yours. We could not get rid of the smell after only one application for a week. It was so strong. I would not recommend it. Hope this is helpful.
Your eye makeup in this video is helping me cope 😍🔥
I think the Gong bowl is a singing bowl. If you run the wood stick around the top and hold the bowl on your palm it will
‘Ring’. Kind of like crystal wine glasses when you run your wet finger around the top.
Your vlogs always make my day! Happy Birthday gorgeous!! You make 32 look GOOD!
This is exactly like my kind of birthday, love it ,pizza and champagne!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING DAY🌹🥳🎉🎈🎁
Happy birthday Lydia!!! Thank you for being true to yourself, sharing your life with us, and for your wonderful videos! 🥳💝
Happy Birthday to you both! OMG! Ali's face regarding the garlic bread had me dying 😁 Too funny. I had to rewind it.
Dear Lydia, for your scalp try to be dairy and sugar free (completely) for at least 3 weeks and you will see a great difference, I promisse! My birthday was on 12th april, so happy birthday to both of us... Big kiss from Zürich/Switzerland.
Happy bday! Nice to see Carrie again! Just do you Lydia. You thrive on RUclips, blog and Instagram. Do TikTok as much as it makes you happy, don't stress over it.
Lydia please listen to this video it's brilliant, I'm so happy watching you , seeing how relaxed and actually glowing you are.
Your chats mean so much .. girl your good. I'm loving my daily life at the moment, plus I've upgraded my todo lists 😂🤣😂
I ordered Mrs Hinch little book of lists. It's made me feel even more organised.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that productivity and business keep me sane! It’s nice to watch someone like minded. Who cares if people don’t work that way! We are all different, and that’s okay!!!x
But that is the thing people were being shamed unless they were being ultra productive! So the people saying its not a productivity contest are reacting to others saying if you dont learn to play chess, speak Spanish and crochet a new table cloth by the end of lockdown you are of weak character etc! Not sure why Lydia has seen that and thought its specifically about her though...
What mascara do you use? Your eyelashes always look amazing!!
Hello, Lydia! Happy Birthday 🎉🎊🎁🎂 I totally agree, people have different coping mechanisms. Whatever floats one’s boat! ✨
