- 2 WEEKS AGO... Taking a road trip up to Leeds with Mike to learn more about Oxfam's textile sorting & recycling facility WASTESAVER!

This video is not sponsored. Oxfam invited me up to visit the facility. I Made my own way there and bought my own lunch, so it's not even really a 'press trip' - Just interested to learn what they do and share it with you all! :)
I’m a nurse working among the COVID-19 chaos and this served as a much needed break from thinking about the pandemic nonstop. Thank you for posting normal content and stay safe.
Morgan Proctor you are an angel, you all are!
God bless you 🙏🏼.
Thanks for this comment, it made my day - I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤AND Thank you so much for what you’re doing for us all xx
Me too and I completely agree!!
Thank you so much for helping everyone! You matter the most these days! Stay safe!
Such a breath of normality! And also an incredibly important topic. Hopefully, we can focus on tackling this issue more in-depth when this madness passes. Thanks, Fleur!
I'm glad you posted this, the information about oxfam was super interesting, and what a perfect partnership for you! and hi pups 🥰
Oh Miss Piglet!!! I love seeing a glimpse of her every now and again ♥️♥️♥️
This is staggering. Everyone should see a facility like this to really bring it home just how much waste we produce, and quite unnecessarily at that. Excellent video!
Fleur,
Skincare/makeup for me is entertainment and a learning experience and something I have always loved. I feel so bombarded with the dire state we are in that I need some relief. Please continue with your videos, they are one of my favorites. Safety and health to you and yours.
Fleur, this was so interesting yet heartbreaking to see the amount of discarded, but very useable, items. Please do more of this type of content. Also...would it be possible to see more of your fur-kids in the vlogs? I miss the sweet puppers and kitties. I found your channel when YT recommended Piglet's adoption video! 🐶
Iam on a "2020 no buy cloth" this year, i have enough, and your vlog just inspired me to keep it up. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you for putting up the vlog, I've loved watching them over the years and always get extra excited when you post one. Hope your family is safe and sound
Hi Fleur! Thank you so much for this video, it really made me more aware of the whole process where clothes go! I think it was really helpful and needed! Stay strong and healthy you and your fam! Yes, we love you very much, thank you for being here! :)
Thank you so much for still sharing! It’s so nice to have content other than constantly hearing about what’s going on in the world!! I hope you and your family stay well 😘xx
This was so informative, thank you Fleur! Such a welcome distraction from stressing about the news constantly, also the story about River's balloon excitement just warmed my heart!
This was extremely interesting, I would love to see more of this content.
Very eye-opening, with all the things that are going on in the world right know I hope individually we are able to start making better choices in our life's. Sometimes we need something very sad in order to put things in perspective. To everyone that reads this please stay safe, remember to thank nurse's, doctors, people who work in stores supermarkets, delivery's, etc! 🙏🙏
Have been in social isolation for a week to protect a very vulnerable son. Love your content and thought this was very balanced in such a difficult situation but really needed a break from all the terrible news, keep safe too
Probably not the popular thing, but my mom showed me how to to sew up holes in the toe of my tights and I got twice as much wear out of them and they were usually my most comfortable pair 😉
Mike is right, I love you! We love you. I can’t always relate to what you put out. High end fashion/ makeup, but love the fam jam and I really respect your effort to change. You inspire me, girl! Thank you and healthy and safe wishes for you, your fam, and all of us trying to figure it out! 💚✌🏼
Actually, sustainable consuming behaviour is my master thesis, I'm very happy to see that you can draw more people's attention on this now!
That’s amazing!
In all the years I've watched these vlogs this is probably in my top 5 now. I learned so much and feel inspired by it also holy cow can we talk for a moment about how much fluer has grown and changed too as a person! Amazing. Love it!
Thanks so much for this lovely comment :) It made my day xxx
This is great content Fleur! Really eye opening and thoughtfully made. 💕
Im glad you decided to upload this, especially because we are all stuck in our homes for the next few weeks, I'm sure most of will be going through closets and getting rid of stuff. Hopefully this will make everyone more thoughtful with whatever they do with the items they decide not to keep.
YAY A VLOG!! Super interesting too!! This really lifted my day!! And bonus we got to see the pups!!!
Hey Fleur! I love this vlog
I’m so glad you went ahead and shared the vlog. We miss seeing them! Thank you for addressing the virus and doing your part by staying in to keep everyone safe!
This was a real eye opener... the amount of throwaway fashion is horrendous. Well done Fleur on highlighting this issue.
On a brighter note, I found myself smiling so much at you and Mike in the car and at the end of the vlog. You guys are such a great couple and I love seeing the affection and banter between you. P.s the sat nav part was bloody hilarious 😆
Stay safe all of you ❤️🙏🏻
thank you for sharing this. it a VISUAL that we all need to move forward doing things differently! in the midst of covid-19, we DO have to do things differently. and this quarantine may be a great time to press the reset button on our lives and how we go by living it! stay safe!
I work in a grocery store and this was a nice escape on my break. Thank you and I of course love you!
Fleur you are not crazy :) checking since mid of jan, you are not alone xxx
Thank you Fleur, glad you posted it’s good to see you and mike and family. You all take care ❤️
Really love the way your channel is evolving. We are at a time were we need to be more conscious of the way we are living and the impact we have on our planet and future generations. Small changes and more mindful living can make a huge difference.
I loved watching this so much :) it was really interesting and opened my eyes a bit. I'd love to see more of this content. You're really good at making a point and giving information without being preachy or aggressive. Love what you're doing with your channel lately ❤
Thank you! I have really enjoyed the behind the scenes you’ve done with/for Oxfam, I love finally seeing a charity without any skeletons in the closet, if you know what I mean. And thank you for being a channel I’ve grown up with over the last decade, from uni to marriage, wee babies, and even making more plant-based food choices; it’s been a ride! 💕
Thanks for sticking with me! :) xxxx
I have to say, your content just gets better. Really thoughtful and conscious of the changing times. Thanks! xx
Thank you! :)
I've missed vlogs. It was great watching something more light hearted...not that landfill and fast fashion is a completely light hearted issue!!
I would love love to see more vlogs of you just at home
Batley - OMG, memories of my teenage years! I lived at the seaside, and waitressed on school holidays in many of the hotels. We local girls used to love having all the holiday maker boys around, and one of my best summer romances was with "Billy from Batley"!!! Thanks for keeping our minds from thinking dire thoughts. Keep your family and dogs safe!
I've missed your vlogs so much! Loved seeing this and getting a little break. Stay safe and healthy! xx
I think most people appreciate these videos and stuff to keep us busy and entertained while at home. Thanks!!
So happy you decided to release this video, it is eye opening. Thank you Fleur
Love the fact you are collaborating with useful causes like this even though you are a fashion and beauty blogger! Love it! You really just won my subscription even though I’ve been watching you on and off for years!
I respect you more now!! 😘
Really enjoyed this, it’s refreshing to get a break from everything covid! I love that you’re sharing your journey on learning more about sustainability, can’t wait to see more.
Thanks for sharing Fleur! It was a real eye opener seeing the Oxfam process!
Thank you for this video, Fleur. This is amazing, that an influencer like you who seemingly has more of a consumerism type of content, educates her audience about the harms of consumerism and non-recycling. Thank you for this. We are almost all guilty for falling for the fast fashion trap, and this is the blunt showcasing of the results of that.
My favourite kind of vlogs are chilled day at home vlogs - so if vlogging in any way makes you feel more connected then any nice normal homely content is welcome! ALSO.. pantry tour... I will be organising a lot of my house over the next few months and feel like that will provide much inspiration. Thank you for sharing some happy normal content fleur x
Wow wow wow, thank you for the introduction to an amazing facility! Have a lovely day!
Thank you for this video!! I knew it was bad with fast fashion and the amount of waste but seeing it like this just gives you a picture you can not erase from your mind!
That place is amazing! Makes me want to see if we have anything like that in the US. Also it's nice to get away from constant Coronavirus stuff. Thanks for always having amazing content! Stay safe and healthy! Sending so much love.
This was so interesting and informative. Would love more content like this - also would love more vlog distractions during this strange time! X
I love this! I am a NICU (neonatal intensive care) nurse and this was a breath of fresh air. I've been a longtime viewer and have loved how your content has changed and I can't wait to see more. Hope you and your lovely family stays safe during this scary time.
2020 is DEFINITELY the year for using what you already have. Especially now that we will be chewing through our savings in the next few weeks/months.
I think everyone appreciated what you said in the intro, I appreciate everything you said!
Aw this has really cheered me up thanks fleur please stay safe 😍 xx
More Vlogs please Fleur. You will get us through this if we can share the pain. This is your moment, never before have you been more needed or relevant.
i always love your vlogs!! watching you and mike goof around was a nice distraction :) hope you guys stay safe and healthy!
Fleur that was a great distraction from everything that is happening right now. I really missed you vlogging! I hope you’re going to upload regularly to keep us company in these hard times. You’re still the best! Lots of love from Greece 😊
Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it! After the feedback so far, I plan on bringing in the vlogs thick and fast for the next few weeks - so many comments saying they are a few minutes of escape and can forget about all the sadness and madness! See you soon on here! xxx
Wow Fleur! Such cool content. Thank you for being educating your audience about fast fashion. The environmental impact of the industry so so so depressing. Your visuals of the sorting facility were striking. Thank you and stay safe!
You are doing so much good and spreading positivity with your content! Thank you! This was really eye opening and so important!! Xxx
Love this Fleur! You always brighten my day.
So great to see a new vlog! Great content. And I DO love you, all the way from Dallas! ❤️😃🐾 😷
A really amazing video - thank you for sharing, Fleur, even in these difficult times!
Thank you so much for making this video 🤗 you're keeping us all sane! We're all going to be loving RUclips even more from now on, such a good distraction!
Fleur, you are more beautiful than ever! You are making changes in your life, that are positive and quite drastic, so they are challenging to implement. I've been a subscriber for 4 years now. Give yourself a pat on the back.
This video was surprising. Thanks for the information.
I love your dogs, baby girl, MDF, and you! Much love from Canada!
Thanks Fleur. I am also working in a hospital right now (as a pediatrician ) and your video was a breath of fresh air amongst the stress and work we have to face right now. Thank you❤
Thanks for posting! That trip to Oxfam was fascinating! Would love to see more of that kind of content sometime. Sending love and good health from Cali. :)
This is an incredible vlog, thanks for posting it!! I love buying second hand clothing, it's always like a lil treasure hunt :)
Fleur this was so great. Really thought provoking content but also so nice to see something non-Covid 19 related right now. Thank you very much - look forward to seeing more of your new style content. Stay well x
I’m with you- I had a bad feeling the first time I heard about the virus. Love your videos - stay healthy 😋
I’m so so so happy you still shared this vlog as I was so shocked to learn how much went into land fill and actually some countries do not want our old clothes. I didn’t know anything about all this that Oxfam do. I’m going to check out their store x
It is really good for influencers not to dwell on the virus. We hear so much all the time so please just do your usual videos and give us a break from the virus. Love your videos. ❤️❤️
This is amazing!! Can't believe you thought about not sharing this on your channel😱, this is the kind of stuff thats really interesting and should be important for everyone! Making people aware of their consuming behaviour by taking us along on the trip to this center - this will stick with people I'm telling you! Thanks a lot😊
Love this vlog and am so glad that you uploaded this! Loved seeing some more normal content at this time.
That discussion at the end with you and Mike is so interesting to watch in hindsight ... and it was the same discussion I'd been having in my own head for the past month ... caution 'cancel all major plans and prepare for thing to get worse' to 'it'll be ok keep washing your hands and eat and sleep well'
i would watch 50 mins of you and Mike chatting! I love your banter.
This was such an eye-opening video and thank you for sharing/explaining this! I just LOVE all of your vlogs
This was fab!!! Very much my ‘vibe’ at the mo as the kids say. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m not purchasing anything at the moment apart from for my 4 and 6 year old, and that’s minimal. We all have too much. Keep in touch Fleur! We love you. (Mike’s right! 🤪🥰😉👍🏼
GREAT video, would definitely like to see more content like this, and thank you for deciding to post it!
In light of what we are all going through collectively with COVID-19, the content of this video is rather welcome and timely. I had no idea we disposed of so many clothes in the UK. This only adds to the other tonnes of waste we produce and ship to poorer countries (biggest culprit being plastic). I pledge to play my part in healing the planet by eliminating fast fashion as much as I can, it's worth buying a handful of quality pieces a year instead of the bags of clothes that are of questionable quality only to be disposed of the next season.
Thank you for the informative content and I hope everyone stays safe and that we can all get back to our normal routines soon x
What mascara are you wearing in the beginning? Your lashes look amazing!
Haha “when you’re not in the direct outsideness” 😄😍
Okay, so firstly, this was suuper interesting. Always down for more sustainability content. 💚
And secondly, I would watch a 50 minute vlog of you guys chatting any day of the week. And I love you guys so much, Piggie’s little squeal was so cute, always love seeing you all. And because Mike asked so nicely haha, I wanted to take some extra time to actually say what a huge part of my life you guys have been for the past woah 8 years?? 😳 So just to say love Fleuuur and the gang!! 💛🧡❤️💙💚
I absolutely loved this vlog - thank you so much for sharing it. It may not be about Coronavirus (to be honest with you I needed the break - like you, I’m devouring all the news, probably a bit too much!), but it is still so relevant and topical. I’m loving the strong environmental messages coming through in your newer videos - thank you 😘 xxx
Absolutely loved this vlog! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I really appreciate your approach to sustainability. 💛
I loved this. This is how we save the planet and reverse this downward spiral we seem to be in. I hope this motivates everyone to do what they can because it will make a difference.
Thank you for the well needed "family life" video Fleur! I'm now out of work and my brain is in virus information overload! Virtual hugs to River and the doggies! Stay safe!
Thanks for continuing to share your content. We all need a bright spot in our day. Stay safe & stay well xox
Very interesting. Glad you still posted it!
I've not watched your videos in ages, fab video as always and I'm loving your makeup and eyebrows 😍💜 x
I was following things from January as well, not that I anticipated it would hit us all with this magnitude (my own province in the south of the Netherlands has 23 deaths as of today, on a population of 1.1 million.)
I saw what was going on in Wuhan and was immediately affected, since we have Chinese customers who couldn’t pay their invoices, because everything was put to a standstill. But I couldn’t visualize what it would mean for my personally. About 3/4 weeks ago I began checking if I had enough food, if I wasn’t able to do a food shop suddenly. Life here has slowed down gradually, so it wasn’t completely all of a sudden. But these are weird times... working from home since last Monday, until at least April 6th, and there’s already talk that it’ll be extended.
Awesome, helpful vlog. This is an important message to spread no matter the time. Keep up the great work. ❤ The sequence in the car is hilarious. Happens with apps on my phone too.
This was a really interesting watch, thank you for sharing it
So important to see. Loved this video. Nice break from the news.
I am so happy that you posted a vlog! Thank you! I loved watching your vlogs in the past :)
So interesting, now I feel like I have to find out where to recycle textiles in the US because I am sure Goodwill doesn't recycle them.
Thank you for sharing this vlog! It is such a pleasant relief!
Wow those eyebrows look so good
Thank you SO SO MUCH for this video! Definitely a reality check for all of us
Ahhhh I grew up not far away from Batley ... What a weird thing to see that you went to to West Yorkshire!!
You and Mike getting the sat nav to work was 🤣
Thank you for a lovely and educational vlog in this very weird time x
So nice hearing normal everyday vlogs. Working on the front line been moved to a different hospital to help. It is nice to hear little about what is going on and what every conversation contains in the hospitals at the minute is about Coronavirus
Very refreshing.
Thanks for posting and making things fell some kind of normal. Really interesting info about Oxfam too!
Thank you for this video Fleur & Mike, I thinking the posting of it could not have been timed better. Current conditions aside, the Oxfam facility is absolutely amazing and this current obsession we have with needing the latest of everything just has to stop, (not only clothing) and this is a perfect time to look deeply and think about every aspect of our lives.
You two are the best! This was actually the only video I’ve been able to pay enough attention to and watch in it’s entirety Since everything has gone crazy in the world.
Just watched this after working my 5th day in a row in the emergency dept working with high risk patients......needed the mental break. Thanks for the upload
I'm really glad you enjoyed it and it helped you switch off a bit. Wishing you all the very best in these crazy times xxxx
