I never thought I’d hear you say “I’m learning that I can’t please everyone and I’m totally cool with that”!! But I’m so happy you think this way more now! It’s so true, we can’t all be everyone’s cup of tea all the time, that wouldn’t be realistic! Love that your more carefree these days just makes me so happy that you’re happy xxxxx
You’ve been a huge source of motivation for me recently, even watching you makes me want to get up and do things and have a great day, so just know that the people who think you do fuck all, they’re not your people 🦄
I think people don't realise you're a mini marketing agency all on your own. Like all creative freelancers, you don't only have the creative things going on, there’s so much more to it. Great video and I love seeing how your style has evolved over the years🪅🎊.
You've legit nailed the 'influencer' life, people think it's so easy and privileged, but behind every epic content creator is a plethora of intensive research and skill. Over the moon you've shared how hard our jobs can be, and why it's so fulfilling
you've already adapted so much over the years! thing with Tumblr to where you are now, starting tiktok, your music career, it's amazing! you have the ability to adapt so I can't imagine you'd be fucked if RUclips disappeared ❤️✨ love this video xx
I wish you could see how your subscribers see you, I subscribe and watch your videos because I know you're real, most RUclipsrs that you probably used to compare yourself to, they're all getting into drama, celebrity life or are posers and people can really see through all that crap. You're just doing you, living your life and that's genuine and real
I read in Alice Vincent's "Rootbound" that Pampas Grass in your front garden was a signal that you were swingers in that household back in the day which I think is bloody brilliant haha. "Look at all our sexy sexy pampas"
Love these kinds of videos, especially as someone who is self employed working from home it's so lovely to see someone else doing the same and that I'm not the only one who doubts themselves sometimes because they've also been told "you're not doing a proper job" whilst I'm trying to make a little shop go places! Thanks for being the little motivation happy soul you are! 💜
We LOVE a self-confident queen. I've watched you long enough to see a lot of ups and down with your confidence and self-belief and I'm so glad to see you recognise and own how great you are. You keep doing you
Ezy Dog make a super easy harness that is just over the head and then clips around the tummy. It really makes harness time a lot easier - I have a Shepard and making the swap in harness style makes morning walkies a lot easier ❤️❤️
Ha ha, I've been having those thoughts about pampas grass too. I've got my eye on some ever since my local flower shop started selling it for £7 stem. I can't actually do it, I just have fantasies of doing it. Where can I buy it cheap?
My mum had a pampas bush in her garden and she was allergic to it so my brother cut it right down and it grew back again so the next time he just set light to it and burnt it completely away lol, shame really though it was effecting my mum's asthma and if she touched it, brought her up in a really itchy rash. Thank you for the video, very interesting. Take care and stay safe xxxxxxxx 💜🖤🦇
You know if someone has pampas grass outside their house they’re into swinging. Or it was a sign back in the day for keys in the table sort of thing. 😂
Whenever I watch you try to get the girls to go on their lead in the mornings, it just reminds me of what it used to be like for my mum trying to get my little sister dressed for school 😂😂
Studying from home sometimes watching you go about your day is honestly the motivation needed to just get up and crack on with work 🤍 your positivity is so contagious, thank you Helen
I don’t think people who don’t edit videos understand how long it takes. & I FEEL YOU with the music! You don’t know what you’re looking for, but when you find it you just KNOW 😂 but it is definitely the most time consuming thing for me 😂
Did you know people (swingers) used to use pampas grass to let other swingers know they lived in the area 🤭. All I think of every time I see it. And now we have pampas grass!!! But we're not swingers lol!
Why don't you feel comfortable using the term influencer, when part of your job is advertising products to people who follow you, who you have the ability to influence, hense why brands work with you? This sounds really like it's having a go, but it isn't. It just seems like that's denying what a part of your job is.
Obviously I can’t speak for Helen on this answer and maybe she may reply herself, but to me personally I think the term “influencer” has been given such negative connotations in today’s society almost like “oh they’re an influencer *eye roll*” and if you continue to hear that again and again in the media, etc then I think you can start to feel that way about that term yourself
What Ellice said, but I think it comes from a place of giving my 'followers' more credit. I think for me, calling myself influencer sorta gives me some odd power that people are gonna do as I say all the time?? I think its a bit insulting to the people that watch me to assume they are being influenced... I cant really explain it! haha.
I started an Instagram page last year and have a small following now. The more people it brings, the harder it gets I've found. Never did I think I'd be scheduling several posts through apps which can take a whole day to do and have loads of DMs to get through. I do love content creating and have even made friends!
Welcome to getting older when you care less and less about other peoples opinions. At the end of the day, if we lived up to everyone’s expectations, there’d be nothing left of us!
Some folks down the street from me had these beautiful giant pampas' flowing in the wind, I was on a walk and I can't say the thought didn't cross my mind. I went back a week later and they were butchered. Heads chopped clean off. It made me sad....that I didn't get to them first. JK! I would never.
I deleted Instagram and Facebook 10 days ago and I dont miss them at all. Basically people like you who think the "influencing" is a real job don't exist for me anymore. Besides that, I started appreciate a real small heroes of this world like... smiling postman, my massuese working secretly during pandemic to relaxed us.... Influencers are cancer of 21 century. Completly usless.
Deleted Facebook and Instagram and influencers don’t exist for you now, but you still purposefully click onto this video and take the time to comment this?
I deleted Facebook in January, stopped watching TV years ago, been a fan of Helen's for years. Would you say the same about performers on stage? Models? Artists? These ARE real people with real jobs. The way technology is going, creative jobs are a great option for humans because robots aren't very good at being creative just yet. In fact, a creative job is recommended by AI researchers.
A local garden café/school garden once posted on instagram that they had so much pampas grass stolen they were forced to replace the plant with something else! So I think you're not the first to have that idea haha!
Becoming an influencer is so tempting but lacking an audience is something that puts me off so much. Hating life atm so need a job that makes me happy though😭
@@katieanne2271 I start a job in 2 days I dont want and i have been anxious, depressed and crying all day why does everyone find a job they like but me. Ya know? X
@@Alice20007 I’m the same I’m currently not working due to my mental health so I know exactly how you feel! Been there with the being upset before working I feel it completely xx

I saw the typo but didn’t want to mention it😂 I definitely think about stealing pampas grass out of other peoples gardens. Criminal how much they charge for it when it’s so readily available 😏 Disclaimer: I don’t do this

Your chat about pampas grass really made me laugh because I have those exact thoughts whenever I see it in peoples front gardens 😂
Me too 😂
haha same! 'that's a good harvest' hahaha!
I’m glad I’m not alone on it though 😂 there’s a few pampas bandits in the comments haha xx
You’ve been a huge source of motivation for me recently, even watching you makes me want to get up and do things and have a great day, so just know that the people who think you do fuck all, they’re not your people 🦄
You influence me to be a free spirit, to be kind and authentic. That’s how you influence others. Loved this video.

I feel like you have so many transferrable skills from being a content creator that you could do so many different things for a career!

My step grandmother had it in her back garden, please tell me it didn't mean the same thing 😱 lol
really enjoyed this video especially the 2nd half , cosy real sofa chat. made me think alot about some home truths. thanks! keep it up helen .
Surely your name would be the “Pampas Grasshole”?
I was thinking about home alone and the wet bandits ha
Love these kinds of videos, especially as someone who is self employed working from home it's so lovely to see someone else doing the same and that I'm not the only one who doubts themselves sometimes because they've also been told "you're not doing a proper job" whilst I'm trying to make a little shop go places!

"I need to sneeze" ***sneezes into gin*** cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣 also your hair looks INSANE!! 😍😍
did anyone else yawn when helen did too at the begining ? contagious
I legit said " bless you " when Helen sneezed like i was sat in the same room🙃😂
We LOVE a self-confident queen. I've watched you long enough to see a lot of ups and down with your confidence and self-belief and I'm so glad to see you recognise and own how great you are. You keep doing you
Thank you!!!
Great video! I've been self-employed for years in a creative field so I resonate so much with everything you talked about in the Q&A. Cheers!
Watched your content for a good few years, and I absolutely love how you are so unapologetically you 🥰
Omg I feel you hahaha the worst thing about editing is choosing the music🤣🤦🏽♀️
Thanks for always being a consistent joy in my day! Great video babes
I changed the font on the title , the previous one wasn't supposed to go live hahaha
I think your absolutely fabulous and you brighten my day considerably so thank you for all that you do❤️

CONFESSION: have also considered pampas theft! hahaha x
My dogs also hate putting on their harness. It's the weirdest thing.

Take care and stay safe xxxxxxxx 💜🖤🦇
You influenced me to buy the face halo pads yesterday! Hugs from the U.S.!
LOOOVEED THIS!
watching this in the bath and now I'm gunna call it research 😎♥️
I'm exactly the same when I see pampas grass about 😂

You could get a laptop stand will raise the screen and help your posture! Xxx

I agree!🧡
Omg that kettle is a thing of dreams,!!! Where is it from pls? Thank you!
Where I live there is a big roundabout, All the pampas grass went missing that was in the middle of the roundabout 👀
Wasnt me!!!!
Really enjoy your content Helen! :)
I love you and your content Helen!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I m fan of your sense of humor 🤣
I don’t think people who don’t edit videos understand how long it takes. & I FEEL YOU with the music! You don’t know what you’re looking for, but when you find it you just KNOW 😂 but it is definitely the most time consuming thing for me 😂

If you want to improve your posture put your laptop etc at eye height so you're looking ahead :)
What are you influencing? Washing and brushing your hair?
And hoovering
Was that toast an attempt to smooth out the bread and butter-gate???
ONION CELERY AND CARROT

That was so insightful and comforting to watch, thank you!🌸✨
I think about stealing the puffy grass all the time, we also have a black one here and the temptation is so real.
May I ask what laptop you are using?
macbook pro 13inch xx

I have a girlfriend that is obsessed with pampas Gras it's like in every room in her flat and she stole it all from her work place front garden 😂

you really deserve more views
