- A week where I struggled to feel balanced. Although I've included a lot of good bits (which I enjoyed experiencing), there have been some pretty low mood bits that I didn't film (because you don't wanna whip out a camera when you're feeling rubbish) but I'm glad I still have this vlog. When I was editing it I thought, 'Look! That was fun at Bonnier and look at Pearl laughing when I was nearly crying in the garden, it wasn't actually as bad as I thought it all was'. Sometimes when you're in a bad week, it's hard to see the good in it but this vlog has forced me to look at the lovely bits and that's a tonic. Hurrah for social media, sometimes a really GOOD thing.

About Me ::
Hi, I'm Louise! I started this channel in 2009 after readers of my blog (also called Sprinkle of Glitter) suggested I give RUclips a try. I was instantly hooked and have found my internet playground on here. I make videos about beauty & fashion, positive living, motherhood, lifestyle and occasionally have special guests (friends, kittens or my sweet Daughters Darcy, 8 and Pearl, 1). Hit the subscribe button to never miss a video again!
I try to upload every Wednesday at 5pm and Sunday at 9am!
I chat every day on my other social media (linked above) so do come and say hi!
Big hugs,
Louise xxx
Louise having a moment (fully justified!) And it sounds like Pearl is saying "Cat shit!" Over and over 😂
Megan Laland totally thought that too 😂 sending you lots of love Louise ♥️♥️♥️
I was thinking the same hahah🤣🤣
Megan Laland I thought she was saying Kit Kat 😂
Megan Laland me too! 😂😂😂😂
The realist RUclipsr without a doubt, love seeing what people’s lives are actually like rather than the rainbow and sunshine washed bullshit that are most people’s vlogs
Your vlogs make me feel like I’m hanging out with a good friend. I love your content thank you for making your vlogs for us. 💕
“Everything works again if you unplug it for a few minutes .......................including you ! “ enjoy making wonderful memories with your lovely family in Corfu 💕 x
Oh Louise, my heart breaks for you during those stressful times. You're such a dear to share vulnerable moments that we can all relate to. Hang in there. Wishing you a lovely, much-needed vacation. Take care. xoxo
i don't know what pearl's trying to say at 30:40 but it sounds a lot like "cat sh!t" and it made me smile. Then when you showed there was cat litter there... xD
Franky Rogers I cant unhear it...
I though that too! X
I thought the same hahahah.Things that come out of the mouths of babes right!!
I was going to comment this too but I'm SO glad I'm not the only one that heard it! Lol! ;)
My gosh these vlogs feel like my safe space where I can just relax, I've been having a crazy time and this is making me feel 110% better
Nothing beats Sunday mornings, Louise's vlog, prepping veg for the roast, planning the week, good brew. Also loving the old weekly style.
Little tip for traveling - take 1 adapter and an extension lead. You're welcome 💕
Oo I'm going on holiday soon too so I'm glad I've seen this. Thanks!
Thanks great tip 👍🏼
On the train to said holibobs :)
Pearl screaming “SNACK” is my 24/7 mood
Those Jacqueline Wilson books have given me ALL THE FEELS! My favourites were The Suitcase Kid, Lola Rose & The Bed & Breakfast Star 😊 the girl in The Suitcase Kid had a little Sylvanian Family animal called Radish & I remember calling one of mine the same name and carrying her everywhere with me. Oh the memories!!! Xx
KayleighMC I was obsessed with the Suitcase Kid! But being an Aussie, I had no idea what a Sylvanian animal was and had a little fluffy toy instead 😂 so good!
Loved The Bed And Breakfast Star
Good morning 🌞 my favourite Sunday ritual, breakfast coffee and some time with Louise and fam xx
This doesn’t feel like a RUclips video, it’s just a friend who had a rough time and we all talked through it. Thank you for being so honest, life is hard, toddlers are ROOOUUGH, and business doesn’t stop because we haven’t sorted our homes.
You’re doing great Louise. ❤️
Judith's garden is like going out into the secret garden! It is exquisite, I'm in love.
And here we are , best time of the weekend ! Absolutely loving your glow at the moment , Mummy life looks fantastic . I hope one day that I can say the reason I’m going to London is to see publishers . I self published a Children’s book for my local hospital but would love for it to be worldwide one day 💝 never stop believing , that’s what you taught me x
Happy Sunday !
I love the mix that having little snippets of different days give again! Your videos are the ultimate Sunday comfort.
I was wondering the same for the US; it doesn't show US currency options.
When I was in my teens I used to go to the local haberdashery once a week and buy ribbon, I can't sew and had no use for it but it was pretty and made me smile so I just collected it like a weirdo.
Not weird at all, ribbons are damn beautiful! If it made you smile then it's worth it x
My goodness that overwhelming feeling is all too familiar. I want to just squeeze you as that’s what I need when I feel like that. Thank you for sharing, it makes me (and I’m sure others) feel less alone. ❤️
Louise, this is why I love you so much. You’re honest and upfront. You don’t show us Louise the camera/RUclips version. You show us the vulnerable and overwhelmed side of you. I appreciate it. I had a low slump for the past two weeks. I’ve had three anxiety attacks. I’m too exhausted to have another. So here I am, late at night watching you have a good sob. I am comforted that others have this overwhelming feeling as well. I’m not so alone anymore. Thank you. Thank you so much for being brave to let us see you. 💋💋💋💋
You always make me feel so much brighter. I suffer from anxiety and watching your videos calms me down and gets me back to my good place. Just remember that you are a fantastic person Louise who has touched the lives of so many viewers. You are a brilliant mummy to Pearl and Darcy! Having a realistic life is so much better than being a fake person and pretending that everything is alright when things aren't. Share what you want and always know that you are a brilliant person inside and out! Lots of love sent 😍💖
I know I really don't know you , but as I watch your videos every week I feel like you're the kind of person I would love to have as a friend in my life. Take care of yourself and your wonderful family.
Dear Louise, I wish you wouldn't feel the need to be filming during your well earned holiday. Just take the time for yourself and your children and family!
Love your videos, you're such a lovely person!
Louise, I adore you 💕 Life definitely allows those small things to snow ball and us feel overwhelmed. You are a wonderful woman, mum, and career lady! Take a deep breath and enjoy your holiday!
Hey louise a good travel hack is to only take 1 adaptor with an extension lead so that you dont have to worry about having multiple travel adapters :)
I feel overwhelmed weekly from life's pressures so I completely sympathise. Be kind to yourself, the small things don't matter. Enjoy your time away ❤️
I really needed to see this video. I always feel like a bad wife/mother when I just can't juggle all the stuff that needs to be done. Why do we make it so hard on ourselves?! I just read an article about an belgian celeb saying that she is fully back on track after 2,5 weeks after giving birth, and i'm 4 months further down the road and still a mess... . We need so much more realistic motherhood and lifestyle videos like you Louise. Thank you for your honesty!
I love Judith's garden. I love the Hydrangeas, Butterfly Bush, Petunia's, Ivy, Roses, Clematis, ...all of them. .Absolutely gorgeous !
Can totally relate to how you're feeling 💕 sometimes you just can't see for fog. I try to tell myself that "this time will pass" which it does but sometimes it doesn't sink in. Hope you enjoy your holiday xx
Thank you so much for sharing the emotional moments. I only have one kid (a month younger than Pearl) and don’t work as much as you but I get overwhelmed on the regular. Just hearing it from another mum gives me immeasurable comfort.
Stay calm Louise, and remember to breathe. Have an amazing holiday, you are truly loved xxxx
My heart felt for you watching you as although I’m not a mother myself, my partner and I have had a really rough time of it lately and I could really relate to you. You’re always so honest with us as followers and it really does for me make me feel less alone in my low times.
I hope you have the BEST time on holiday, spending some much needed relaxing time with your family ❤️
Ps I’m so glad to have got to order your book signed!!!
Wishing u all a restful and happy Sunday!💕🌟
So relating to your anxiety/stress/tenseness thing right now, it’s the last week of term and I think there is so much going on, plus going on holiday prep is a major stresser. Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in a see of tiny little things to remember and get done, just seeing someone else opening up about it makes me feel like I’m not going mad and it’s ok xx
Any Greek island is beautiful. My favourite is Zakynthos. It's my happy place. I cry with happiness everytime the plane lands on the island. I could live there its soo peaceful! The next one on my list to visit is santorini. Xx
Oh Louise you’re doing a fantastic job juggling all your works and children ☺️
This vlog is so relatable I’m so pleased you shared your week in such a ‘real’ way. When my children were little there was never a week went by when I didn’t feel overwhelmed by life’s toil, in some way. Whether it be work, life or mumming... I often punished myself for not being good enough.
I was never that mum so packed their children off to school without forgetting something... Monday morning lunch money was never a Monday morning thing, no matter how many times I tried. I’ve had to do the home run of shame after forgetting cake day, own clothes day, bring a book to school day! I really had no excuse as I was a teacher at the school, but my workload always seemed to take the largest share of my time and short term memory. Half terms were inevitably spent planning or doing something school related. Weekends were taken up by marking and prep for the week ahead, I never felt like I was succeeding at anything and worst of all, being a good Mum.
Now my girls are grown, well adjusted and absolutely none the worse for my shatter brain, I do wish I had stopped and just said “No” to workload commitments from time to time. My Mum guilt is still present about that. My eldest is away at university and youngest not far behind... I feel my nest is emptying before my eyes and I want to have that time back all over again so I can try better and harder. Cherish life with wee ones, it really is true, they are only little once and there’s a wonderful saying “never get so busy making a life you forget to have one”, I only wish I’d have listened to that.
It broke my heart to see you so upset and notice the stress in your voice but it was so nice to hear the difference as you interacted with Pearl and your voice got calmer. I'm glad that you're working on managing your mood and I think you're doing a fantastic job at it. I hope you also get to feel the satisfaction of doing well at something so tough.
When you were in the ball pond I was properly belly laughing. You’re like a friend I never had. Hope you’re feeling better soon. Sometimes life tries us doesn’t it but keep going xxx
Louise, if you’re feeling overwhelmed please take a step back and don’t feel the need to film multiple days, we love you and want you to feel well ❤️
Thank you Louise for sharing the realities of life and motherhood. I think you show everyone that it’s ok to not be ok, to find life overwhelming at times and to need time to take a break. Enjoy your holiday and enjoy the rest (if holidays with babies can ever be restful 😂)
OMG Louise... you made me cry when you were getting upset and overwhelmed 😢🤗😘. You are a wonderful woman and doing a great job xx
Oh Louise I just want to squeeze you into a big big hug. You are doing absolutly amazing. Its okay to feel overwelmed because life is overwelming sometimes. But you are doing great and juggling so many thing and you deserve all the love and hugs❤️
I audibly gasped when y’all went into the sequin room. Love your videos!
always watch your weeklys and love them so much.hope everyone has a great week!
Your Aunt has a beautiful garden! The flowers are so vibrant!
Enjoy your week off in Corfu! It's much deserved. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad!
Snack, snackkkkk, SNACK!!
Oh look at the lovely glitter Pearlie
SSSNACKKK SNNNACCCKKK SNACK!!!
Oh my! I just wanted to come and give you a hug...although I know you wouldn’t want one 😂 I remember so well feeling like this when my kids were younger. At the end of the day who cares if the house isn’t tidy, we ourselves such high standards. When Pearl and Darcy look back on their childhood and remember what a loving and hands on mum you were. Chin up chicken xx
Had a awful week with lots of awful news but thank you for 30mins if calm , the ribbon shop remains me of lovely memories with my mum ❤️thank you as always ❤️I can’t tell you how much comfort your videos have brought me over the years ❤️
Please just remember that you are an AWESOME mum and a INSPIRATIONAL women. We all have bad weeks and months. Just remember how AWESOME you are of being you and that's why we love you. Sending you big hugs 🤗 and love 💜
Love that you’re honest about leaving your rotten carrot in the bottom of the fridge - I’m with you! I hope you get a chance to relax and breathe on your holiday - we will be here when you return. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this, making another Mum who gets overwhelmed and emotional feel less alone. Enjoy your holiday, I hope it is all you need and wish for
I too have been completely overwhelmed with the endless list of things I have had to deal with while also trying to devote my time and energy in being the best mum I can be. I have hidden in the bathroom and had a silent cry on many occasions. I am a single mum and my family do not live nearby so I often feel isolated and alone. The segment with you and Pearl in the garden before your guests arrived was so relatable. I know that feeling all too well. Thank you for sharing those moments x
I always look forward to Sunday mornings
I love the honesty in this vlog. Very relatable. Have a wonderful holiday x
It’s not nice to see anyone upset, but I have to say, to see someone sharing their most valuable moments is a breath of fresh air!
I am also a mam of a 1 year old and it’s so hard balancing EVERYTHING!
Thank you for being real and showing that is ok and normal to have bad mam days and it doesn’t make you a bad person it make you human and it’s ok to say it’s hard sometimes.
I salute you Louise (raises magical wand) you are amazing and thank you xxx
Just do the basic cleaning for guests, they should be understanding. So good to talk it out dear. Pearl will be fine, It's just a small amount of business for a time. You'll be fine. Love to you dear Louise. A short walk is always good too. We all have those days, You'll get through.
💖💖🌹💖🌹💖
I’ve been feeling a bit down myself. Your vlogs always cheer me up and make me feel a little less alone with my feelings.
Thank you for continuing RUclips. Your consistency and dedication means so much to a lot of us. 🌸
massive hugs, i feel like im hanging with a friend when i watch your videos. thank you for always being truthful.
I've learned with myself that keeping up with eating well is specifically important during stressful times, it really helps balance everything and makes me feel that a least I have one thing running smoothly. I hope you'll really enjoy your holiday, it sounds lovely!
Having a very overwhelming week with a particularly fussy baby and this was really comforting to see someone else finding it difficult doing the juggle 🥰You are doing amazing Louise! Bloody loving these new old weeklies 💜💜💜
Your integrity and how you conduct yourself within social media is so inspiring for me. I'm just starting out, and I keep coming back to your content for inspiration. Thank you.
I cannot even count how many people I’ve talked to who’ve felt that uneasy feeling the past couple weeks - myself included. I don’t know if it’s something in the universe or planets or even if I believe in any of it... but know you’re not alone. Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed at the height of my days and for seemingly no reason.
Just know you never should feel like you have to validate or explain it. You feel how you feel and that’s that. Thank you for sharing and thank you for always being so open and honest with us. Have a wonderful holiday! ❤️
Love watching your vlogs and it's ok to show your emotion, especially when you're juggling work and life 🤹♂️. Enjoy your holiday and I have already purchased your book - a signed one. Good luck for that 🤞XX
Louise, I’ve just finished Wilde women and would like to say. Thank you SO much for creating such a good book series. I can’t believe it’s the end of robins journey! 😢
I feel like I should be in tears! I'm day 4 into a 17 day week because its summer holidays and I've picked up extra shifts because I need the money to entertain the children on days out! I'm also starting a diploma which is overwhelming and I have 2 of my childrens birthdays this month tomorrow and the 30th, which of course I've put mummy pressure onto myself to make cakes which will probably have to happen whilst the husband puts the children to bed! And its our first wedding anniversary on the 19th! So much going on! Everyone is entitled to a little wobble now and then! x
I feel like that too. We love you and you need to have your family time.
Louise, you're doing the best you can and that's all you can ever do! It's good to have a bit of a cry sometimes, it helps. And your summer holiday will be very well deserved. I love the fact that you're so honest, I've had a bit of a rubbish week myself and it's nice to know that I've not been the only one and that's why I love your vlogs, you just show life as it is.
Louise, your love for crafting stores is like my love for stationary stores. it's all net and makes sense. and it's usually quiet and you can just enjoy the heaven that it is.
when i saw the colour coordinated ribbons, my heart skipped several beats.
the 8 page document of ideas by lady louise just reminded me of the full presentation you did that one time about why you should all take a trip to iceland that jack did not appreciate
I adored The Lottie Project as a kid (being called Charlotte helped!), it's such a wonderful book- brilliant blog as always Louise, enjoy Corfu!
I love how your such a strong woman Louise being a working Mom and sharing with us your highs and lows. That very brave and vulnerable and I appreciate you being real with us.
The interesting thing about being a vlogger is that a bunch of strangers all feel like we know you and you're our friend. So when you're having a hard time we want you to sit and tell us like we're friends. So it's okay. Stop apologizing. It's normal to have stress and hard times. Daily vlogging doesn't have to be a highlight reel. It can be the "Real Reel". I'm glad you're on holiday. You needed a break. ❤️
You're such an amazing lady! So real and down to earth. If it's a crap week, it's a crap week, I never feel like you try to cover it up which is so refreshing in comparison to other vloggers.
Don't ever feel like you're not enough, you're an idol and role model to so many! Xx
Really glad that you try to include the good and not so good bits in your vlogs - it makes me feel like it's normal to feel a little down sometimes and the fact that you always get through it brings me hope, especially when I'm worrying about the week ahead :) thanks for always being the best part of my Sunday!!
Louise, You're a super busy, professional woman as well as a brilliant mom. Having a wobble now and again and feeling anxious and a bit overwhelmed is par for the course sometimes, especially when it's our hormones getting up to mischief 🙄 You fit so much into your week as well as looking like a goddess, i'd love just 10% of your energy! Nearly Monday, time for a fresh start to the new week. Hope it's a better one emotionally for you 😘😘😘
Judith's garden is absolutely gorgeous and spectacular! I dream to have a garden like that one day.
Pearl is so cute. You two are so sweet together. I wish you the best and I hope you have a great a week.
Just one thing. at time, and it will all get sorted as it should! I always aim for anything I do on my list of task’s weather it be a quick tidy up, or poping into the bank and other errands to have things be better than they were. Don’t need to hoover and get absolutely every last bit of hair from the kitty, just has to better than it was and if I do a quick whip round the carpets, thats better than not having done it at all. I remind myself of this with every task that needs doing. I can aim for perfection on my day off but after a long day at work if I just quick do the washing up and take out the rubbish, and pop on a quick dinner, that is good enough. Just something to remember when being a working mum goinging at full whack gets to be too much. Enjoy your holidays in Corfu. x
I really appreciate how real you are in your vlogs 💖 Makes me feel like I'm not alone when I'm having those kinds of weeks! Hope you have an amazing holiday with your fam! 🎉
Honestly, for me it's actually really helpful to see someone with a very different life also struggle with the many small things going on and being close to tears cause that's something I struggle with a lot and most of the people around me aren't like that so, yes, I'm glad you share these moments with us as well cause they are so relatable and makes me feel less alone when I'm having a bad day/week/whatever
Oh honey your amazing we hear you, its hard work just keeping it together xxx
Just back from Corfu it’s gorgeous . Incredibly hot so be prepared and have a lovely time x
I truly appreciate you vlogging your panic moment because as a sufferer of anxiety it feels incredibly validating to know that when I have them it is real and that other people experience them too. Also this helps prevent people saying I am fine and not understanding what these moments are until they see it as visually as something in a video. Thank you my favourite good egg and remember to take a break for yourself, whether it be big style with a lush bath bomb spa moment or a lil 10 second time breathing in and out. You are doing well my lovely!!! ❤❤❤
You are doing just fine Louise, we all have these weepy times and you DEFINATELY have a lot on your plate at the moment.........please tell Judith she has a fabulous garden....love all the colors..........have a wonderful time in Corfu with your family and try and get time to just relax and unwind.......you will all love it I’m sure......I do like the bathing suit, think it will love great on you.......enjoy....xox Donna in Toronto
thank you for sharing the overwhelming part of your days as well! hope you and the family have a wonderful vacation!
Have a lovely trip with your family! Safe travels!
Thank you for this real and honest video, Louise. I hope your holiday allows you to have some well deserved rest!
Ah this is so lovely. Also sending you love for the tough times. The Hive stuff with Judith looks awesome but I was slightly shocked as I thought she was about 50, 55 max!
Also I completely understand your travel anxiety about new places- I felt very on edge when we went to Florida a few years ago, first time in America. I watched your videos and vlogs and they were a real balm so thank you.
You struggling to get up off the bear really tickled me, so much so that it made me sit up after lying in a fog of hopelessness for almost 4 hours. Thanks for always being a blessing with these vlogs!
There was an article a few weeks ago saying that if you get an extension lead then you only need 1 travel adapter!! Loving you content atm!❤️
Our friend who is a fire investigator isn't keen on extension things, thinks they're v iffy on safety even in UK where we are especially safe with electric stuff
Thanks for sharing your fun and not-so-fun moments. I can’t always watch the down moments because it makes me anxious but, I just skip over those and I do sympathize. Have a lovely holiday! 💖💖💖💖
The best thing about my Sunday’s is sitting down and watching this vlog. Last Sunday I was away and felt homesick but watching last weeks vlog made me feel better
You’re amazing! You manage to balance motherhood and business and its natural that sometimes you feel overwhelmed. I watch you to get mummy ideas and to keep me sane. Sometimes mum life is hard and that’s okay
Have a great break, you are wonderfully inspiring Louise, much love XX
The tidying up when people come over is the thing I do also. The thing is, I don’t even spend a lot of time doing it, when I do it. Done in a jiffy. But I just hate doing house work.
As a Mummy to a 20 year old girl, two dogs, two cats and a fish life is still just as hectic as it was when my daughter was Pearl's age. We are off on a cruise next Sunday so this week is going to be cleaning the house from top to bottom as my Mum, Sister and Nephew are coming to house and cat sit and I always like to make a good impression. Usually the house is littered with dog toys and my daughter's trainers (which she has many of and they always seem to gravitate downstairs). I totally understand being emotional at times as I am of a certain age when I spend a lot of time with brain fog. Please enjoy your holiday and don't feel at all guilty about not vlogging.
This made me emotional mainly because I know when you have kids and you have so much to do it can be so overwhelming and trying to be present in the moment being mummy 💖 and somehow looking after yourself and well-being so you don’t go insane lol this so so real to watch and I just love how you can be so open to how you feel I think it’s a amazing never change yourself, you have two beautiful children mashaAllah and your doing a wonderful job you can tell they are happy kids and healthy and you just need to relax and switch off from work for some Louise time. Hope your having a wicked holiday 🥰🌸💖🌸
Omg I hate when people are coming. There can never be enough cleaning ahead of time. Then they come and all is fine. Still doesn’t stop me from fretting over it the next time. Hope you have an amazing week away. 💕
I love how real your vlogs are. Enjoy your holiday and ignore the camera. We will still be here when you get back. Hugs xxx
