Hi Lizzy. Thank you for your vlog. It's so nice to see how everyone else is feeling. I'm going into my fourth week of self isolation/quarantine and I can 100% tell you that you get used to it. The first week was really hard but mid second week I started to fall into a routine and gradually I got used to it. It's amazing how humans can get used to everything. Of course I still get emotional and have down times but for the most part I have accepted this new lifestyle. Things that have helped me are at least doing half an hour of yoga daily ( I do yoga with Adrienne) and working out at least every other day. There are loads of instagram pages that are doing live classes and it's so thoughtful of them. Going for walks and getting fresh air also helps. I try to stay in contact with my friends. We've made whats app groups and we send eachother interesting recommendations. It's so strange what's happening to the world right now but I am amazed how I have kind of gotten used to it as well. I know a lot of my friends are saying the same things. Hope it helps :-)
Thank you so so much for this lovely comment! This was so reassuring to read! It's very true that we manage to adapt to so so much. If you don't mind I am going to pin your comment to the top so other won't miss this little bit of positive news and advice! xx
Thank you, Yassi! I feel like I'm getting used to it too. Today I went outside to go grocery shopping and didn't feel like an invisible monster was going to pop out and infect me. I think the more and more we practice safe and healthy routines, the more confident we will feel. Do you mind telling us what part of the world you're in? I'm in L.A./California, and we just finished our first week. People are still being stupid and going on trails/beaches/walking around and playing games/sports/activities in big groups, so all those places have been shut down too. I wish everyone understood how serious this is, and that the quicker we isolate and try to stop the spread, the sooner we can try to get back to normal.
So glad to see you set an example by hunkering down and staying inside. I know so many other folks are under a lot of pressure to produce content but I just can’t watch anyone right now who isn’t taking this seriously. Really like your approach to this, Lizzy!
"no ones going to see this except the people watching this right now" LOL The best piece of advice that anyone has given me had to do with relationships but I've found myself carrying it in to other aspects of life and it reminds me a lot of the "ebb with the flow". It's: "Hold on loosely and move forward"
I am here to tell you that ups and downs are normal. This is my jorney living in China. After first week passed I cried like a baby. I coudn't read anything for the first two weeks. My focus was out of sight and all I did was watching youtube or reading news (too much information never helped, completely the opposite, I would get very anxious at night, have nightmares, whole package..) So for me mornings were the best time of the day to digest all the bad news. I wanted to work out everyday and some days getting out of bed was so hard. I was feeling drained even if I wasn't doing anything and was just sitting on the sofa. Some days all of this would look like a movie to me. Some I knew this change was necessary as we really slipped away from the right direction as a human kind. February was THE longest month of my life I swear. But after two months, I can tell you, I have more highs then lows. I am really starting to enjoy in some things that, I swear, I wasn't - prior to the pandemic. I am so thankfull for many things in life that I once took for granted. I try to help my family and my friends by sharing my experience. And being positive for them as much as I can. We can all adapt guys! And yes it is okay to grieve, and we all should allow ourself to cry from time to time. It is a natural process of recovery and acceptance. At the end it gets better I promise to you all 💪🏻
Thank you for being the friend, the voice we need right now❤ We are in official foul lockdown for the next two weeks and my feelings are all over the place. Thank you and your mum for the company!
As someone who is locked in the house for 2 weeks now, I - personally, this is my personal experience and I am seeing my friends having all different reactions to this dramatic situation - can totally agree on the necessity of having a time of adjusting. After a week, during which I was laying in bed all day with no shame or regret, I started to planning a kind of a daily routine and various little projects.
I'm the same, I already have my daily routine (it helps I'm working from home) and I started renovating my bedroom, plus I'll start posting again on my ethical fashion/zéro waste Insta. I think it's nice to do nothing, but after a while it gets boring
Hi Lizzy, so lovely that your with your mom. I got a big laugh during the bang trim moment. Enjoy as best you can this time together. Big hug to each of you!!💝
“You know what, You can’t win them all .... and this is just all part of what we’re going through at the moment” Hahahaha. This made me lol. It’s 5:30am in Australia and I can’t sleep because I woke up in a panic. So thanks for calming me down. X
Thank you for speaking your mind. I am in the states and in quarantine and people around aren’t taking this serious so thank you for using your voice and speaking up. Thank you thank you thank you. You have my support from Arizona.
It's infuriating isn't it. All we want is for life to be back to normal, and the quicker we do this the quicker that will happen! Those insisting in living normally now are having devastating effects on everyone! xx
Currently in the fourth week of my masters degree, having to try and remain focused and find passion in my new studies all whilst sat at home has been difficult to say the least. For everyone I guess we need to expect this push and pull of emotion, as for most of us this will be a time of balancing our new work/home lives. I couldn’t understand why I needed to take some time away from my studies for a few days but upon watching this vlog it helped me realise that for even someone who is used to working from home like Lizzy, it seems like we are all trying to come to terms with a new normal that has been forced upon us. It’s Monday morning here in Aus- I’m wishing that this week we all begin to figure out our new normal, take time to listen to our bodies and not just push through it - to ebb with the flow!
Yes!! It IS a process of grief in lots of ways, coming to terms with what we have lost and what we now have to adapt to. It's perfectly logical that we can't jump straight into it?? Like you say, even for those working from home already, it's the fact I no longer have the option to nip out and socialise that makes the experience different. We all have to be kind to ourselves and take time with things. And try to make the most of the productive bursts, but then if it doesn't last more than 30 mins, that's ok too!! xx
Second week working from home, been out three times for food, but now going to get help to get it, and I’m not going out except on my balcony. I’ve done a total spring clean all yesterday and cleaned the balcony of all the winter leaves - two jobs I hate and it’s felt productive: enjoying Instagram live stories and going to get back into my books after a two month break. Agree - I’m a mile away from the sea, but those trips can be done afterwards. Those trips and going to the cinema again and my favourite cafe are going to feel amazing... and they will happen as long as we are just patient and wait it all out. Hopefully this experience will remind us all to treat so called low skilled workers (aka highly skilled workers keeping the country going) with a bit more appreciation.
Angela Bates same, out in the balcony to get some sun is what we have done in the past 9 days. Going into 2nd of working from home tomorrow, first week was absolute horror, praying the coming days will be better. Anyways, Saturday we cleaned the apartment from top to bottom (mind you it’s just a 2-br), then I thought to myself after, “ now what?” Hope you’re keeping well and thanks for staying at home. I wish more people would but it’s also hard for others whose jobs literally mean being out. We’re extremely fortunate to be able to work from home at these times.
Yes! We are all going to enjoy the small things so so much when this is over. SO much positive will come from this experience. People's minds will focus so much and I think lots of people will make personal decisions that will make them so much happier going forward. I hope you're feeling ok - well done for getting a job done that you would normally put off. That's especially impressive in these circumstances!! xx
arrrvee never used my balcony so much!! Going out there first thing, at lunch at after work. Going to be so important to get out there. I was the same about cleaning, but working from home will mean we have to clean around a bit more. We will all find ways through it, it’s a short amount of time we just weren’t ready for but least we have homes, and spring is around the corner. Would be worse if it was winter starting. And Christmas and things we would have really hated not being a part of.
Lizzy Hadfield I was watching a bus go into Bournemouth and felt a pang of jealousy watching it go by but then thought oh it’s not forever! That moment when you can go out properly again!! That first latte! It’s going to be awesome, we take it all for granted! I’ve had such a hard year already before all this, but I’m actually ok. As long as I do what’s right it will all work out. Hope you and your mum are ok and hope you get a chance to cut her hair!!!!!!
I was dying at the fringe saga, my mums a hairdresser and still have the same situation when she cuts my hair - never quite how you picture it! Stay safe and see you at the live tomorrow! Grace x
Hi Lizzy! The fringe looks fine! No worries, though your mum was trying to do it the right way! It's comforting to see some content that takes our mind off of the current situation. Thank you for the shout out to stay home. We all need to work on this together! Stay calm, stay safe, stay home!
Isn’t Away the brand that had the CEO apologize for abusive behavior towards employees? And then they reinstated her in the same position wherein she was abusing employees?
@@LizzyHadfield i love that you're not afraid of saying you don't know and taking steps to do the best you can. I respect anyone by default, but I definitely have many, many reasons to respect you!
Love yr vlogs, thanks Lizzie. First day working from home for me here in NZ, so your advice about not putting too much pressure on yourself was very timely 😊
Thank you Lizzy for being realistic and using your platform to raise awareness on how serious this issue is. I am so disappointed in a lot of youtubers/influencers who has a vast amount of followers who would simply stay quiet about this issue becuase they want their channels/IG accounts to be solely an escape of the reality or as most of them put it - be a source of entertainment in these trying times. Your job is very unique, if one can influence other people to buy/try consumer products, why not use it to raise awareness about this, it’s a freakin’ pandemic for God’s sakes. “Stay at home” - if more people would say it and see it in your social media platforms, maybe more (younger) people would take it seriously. Sorry for the long rant but I want to thank you for not tiptoeing about this issue. Stay safe and healthy! #flattenthecurve
Thank you! I think in fairness to others people have become very scared of any backlash and want to protect themselves, which I can fully understand when everyone's mental health is strained anyway right now. But yes, I hope I can use my influence to make people the importance of taking this seriously!! I am finding the whole thing very frustrating! xxx
I think following your gut and sharing what you feel like sharing is the perfect way to handle this whole thing ❤️ Sending lots of love to you and your mum!
Really loving your vlogs at this time. Your honest and open as always and it feels comforting. I have anxiety anyway so my level of anxiety is even higher at the moment but keeping busy is key. I have a pile of books to read and a book case to paint!
Hi Lizzy, your mood is exactly how I’ve been feeling particularly over this weekend. Seeing so many people still out and about especially in the south west UK, going to beaches and moors ... not acceptable as you say. I work in private healthcare and this last week was shitty, and it’s gonna get worse. Stay safe everyone, sending love xx
HONESLTY i was seething last night!!! Seeing the photos of Columbia Road, I think I was still there I would have gone out there and shouted at everyone. It is MADNESS. Speaking on the most selfish level of 'I will be fine if I get it', I want the world and life to go back to normal - those who are pretending it's all still normal now are making this process so much longer for everyone else. And nevermind the consideration for those are aren't lucky to say they would be fine if they got it! xx
So on the same page with the wine comment! Also I so agree about staying home. Walks and groceries are all we do too ( in Canada). No friendly visits or anything:( Thanks for this💐💐💐
Hi Lizzy, I can’t thank you enough for your vlogs right now. Like I saved this one for today as I knew on Mondays I need extra help. To be honest this is the only kind of content I’m consuming: thoughtful, respectful and conscious. I can’t quite believe my eyes that some people are still “trying not to talk about it”, as if we all had the privilege to submerge in Gucci handbags and call it a day. This is our life now...and good news is you are right; things ease out. This is our 2 week of total lock down (not even allowed on walks 💔) and not gonna lie I cried when I saw a video of a forest hahaha. But it gets so much easier. We still have 3 weeks (at least) to go, but the most important bit is to stay healthy, stay sane! And stay home. This will soon pass. Lots of love. Mar from Barcelona. P.S: i can’t wait to be able to get a great pair of jeans and oh those Levi’s! Let’s all pray for all to keep our jobs💕
Laughed out loud during this thanks for that. Your sweet mum! Great effort with the fringe trim! “What’re you twiddling it for”😂. Dead. Can’t wait for the next one 💓
Lizzy, your Mum did an amazing job, she was cutting in a way that I thought she was a pro! It came out great! Love your videos together, and I wish you both to be safe in this crazy chapter of our lives.. xo Jan
Jeez I’m kind of relieved you pulled out a second suitcase. I genuinely thought you were only going to take the one and was like HOW is she going to get everything in one? Why isn’t she folding things smaller?! The anxiety was high let me tell you! Phew... Also your vlogs are medicine and I look forward to them x
This has really lifted my mood! I too flew back to my childhood country yesterday from London to self isolate with my elderly parents. The hardest decision I have ever had to make after 11 years abroad but I know it is only temporary and is the safest option for all. Hahaha I was cracking up watching this as I just helped my mum dye her hair and well, it’s gone a funny shade of orange 🙈 #badhairday Please keep vlogging!
you have such a beautiful way with words, you have expressed what so many people are feeling and i hank you for using your influence to tell people off for not doing the right thing. I live in London and am fed up with those who don't take it seriously . I and many otters have been self isolating for 2 weeks now to avoid being a carrier, let along getting it.. Yes we will all have to make sacrifices but its for the greater good. Anyway, keep safe and keep bringing out great content
In New Zealand our schools are still open. All public places are closed. No crowds of a 100. Yet schools are open. I have decided to keep my daughter home. I feel very conflicted at the moment. Watching videos like this makes me feel a bit better. The only comfort is that WE are in this together.
Funny how each country is doing things differently. School was the first thing closed down here, it was like daily each sector was made public. Stay safe 😷🇨🇦
@@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei Well, things have changed. New Zealand is going into lock down in 48 hours. Schools closed today along with everything else. Only essential places are to be open. We have four weeks to get this right. Stay safe for you and your family
I’ve only just started to watch your blogs. Watched few from two years back and not sure if my eyesight is wrong or you have changed so much within two years. There was fuller face with rosy cheeks and fuller figure. Very natural and pretty. Also lovely long, shiny, clean, voluminous hair. Drastic change over time...
Lizzy you are lovely as always. It's ok to be sad and anxious, I felt the same in the beginning of this ( I live in Israel and I am in self quarantine with my BF for almost two weeks). I hope you feel better soon, and stop apologizing for not wearing make-up! You look great anyway but even if you didn't it's nobody's business ❤️❤️❤️
hey lizzy, so glad your vlogging and doucumenting all that is going on.. it feels like we realy do have similar experiences of the situation (with you articulating them better..). i just left my apartment in jerusalem and went back to my parents last friday, and luckily still working from home, but i'v been feeling so low with everything that's going on, i still can't process it... anyway- thank you so much for all your content, all the time and especialy in these times:):)
Ah. Thank you. You have a new subscriber here. It's refreshing to hear a RUclipsr approach this with such unfettered honesty. Love the ebb with the flow mantra. I also read the phrase "transience is permanent" and found that strangely comforting. Change is the basis for life. It is abrupt now but we will adapt and communities will pull together to make it so. In fact we already are. Chin up or chin wobble. All fine. This too shall pass. Innit x
Thanks for the vlog, Lizzy! You and your Mum are so funny + cute together! I'm also in quarantine with my Mom - I feel grateful to be able to spend time with her. Also, not to be annoying, but I noticed you touch your face a lot! I'm also a face toucher and have been having to remind myself to stop! So, just a reminder for you not to touch your face so you don't get sick, and more importantly don't spread it to your precious Mum! Stay healthy! :)
I really do!! It's such a bad habit, in my defence I think I do it more when I am talking to camera then I do normally so hopefully it isn't as bad as it may seem here. Hope you're well! xx
@@LizzyHadfield Oh good!! I know you'll be vlogging a lot in the future, so I just wanted to remind you! Thank you, and I hope you stay well, too! I'm in L.A./California, and it's getting crazy here... It feels like we're living in some parallel universe...
Loving the vlogs 👍 feeling anxious so good to not feeling alone like you say. I work in social care so still having to go out to work & looking like it's going to get even busier work wise 😞 I will continue to look forward to your content, thank you x
Oh Wendy thank you so so much for all you are doing for people! Knowing how hard people are finding it who CAN isolate from the virus, I can't imagine the pressure you are under. Thank you so much! xxx
I can't read lately either. And I have done that to my bangs so many times haha. You'd think I would learn, but a couple years go by and I try cutting them myself, it having someone try again.
How do you know your readers ages? Just curious . Do you still value your older readers? Age does not define how woke , interesting and stylish one is . I'm 64 and wear all the same clothes, read the same books , make art, exercise , as you do, I'm not being critical just wondering what the thought behind that last comment was. We are all humans feeling the same thing regardless of age and really appreciating that you wonderful bloggers are cheering us up during this unknown period. Love you and your mum , you are so lucky to be able to spend this time together
Mary Porter Porter youtube gives your channel statistics on what their main demographic is. she did say MOSTLY and I’m sure she values viewers of all ages!
Sorry Mary I didn't mean it in that way at all. I can see all the demographics on my analytics - age, sex, location. The majority is aged 25-34, followed by 18-24, then 35+. I didn't mean to exclude anyone with that comment, I love getting comments from my older and younger viewers too and how every shares their own wealth of experience. The answer is that there was little thought behind that comment, other than to make a point that my audience isn't predominantly teenage (not that there is anything wrong with that), but it's mostly adults in a community together. xx
Highly recommend audible for a time when it's hard to focus on reading physical books. The Harry Potter books are all on there and they are my ultimate comfort blanket because Stephen Fry reads them! I'm really looking forward to your instagram live tomorrow because I know you and Lindsey will provide lots of laughs!
Oh, the anxiety of watching your mother cut your fringe!!! I'm on Day One of Work From Home as the school where I work is closed for the time being (as they all are in NY). Honestly, I love being home alone so this is not as challenging as it is for more social people. And it's supposed to rain every day this week, which makes staying in even easier. But soon I think the changes will be more far-reaching and difficult to live with, so...EBB AND FLOW, my friend, EBB AND FLOW.
Stupid question, but I am so impressed on how white your bedding is: how do you manage to do this?....I could not achieve this if my life depended on it! However....if you leave those dirty suitcase wheels on the duvet, you won't have white sheets for long.....not to mention the germs...... 😀
I would love to know your thoughts on Away and whether you were aware of the issue with their CEO? I’ve seen many influencers working with them since this all became public, which I’ve found pretty disappointing. I keep wondering whether the influencers have not done their research so are unaware of what happened or are just not bothered? (Not sure which is worse). I’d love to know your thoughts on this and reasons why you have continued to work with them.
Yes I have to admit I didn't know about this at all, which is ignorance in my part. I will speak to my agency about this and adjust plans with working with them going forward. Thank you for letting me know! xx
Such a bummer about the Totême jacket. Most of the stuff I own from Totême is of very bad quality, which makes me really sad because I love their aesthetics so much. It's also a shame they keep rising their prices when the quality of their clothes is so low.. I've had my eye on the Pisa trench for a while, how has yours kept up? May I also ask what size you have in the grey Totême jeans and the Ami trousers? I already have the jeans and plan to get the Ami trousers, but I'm not sure what size to get.
Ah that is so so interesting! I find all the other things from them great, that trench is amazing! But this jacket has put me off it all a little as when I bought it was shocked how much it was anyway. I have a 25 in the Toteme jeans and a 36 in the AMI. The AMI trousers are honestly brilliant! xx
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought I was gonna be all productive but actually I've just been doing nothing besides getting sad and trying to use TV to distract myself, hopefully it will change for me soon
hahaha yes, I went in with this with so many high hopes for myself and have mostly just impressed myself with how much time I am capable of lying on the sofa! xxx
Dont know whether this will help, but after some anxiety-ridden days, i took a break from the news for awhile. Obv still important to check in maybe once a day to keep informed (or yr mum could do that) but taking a break and trying to focus on something normal and unrelated if u can - maybe an art project or something? really does help :-).
Hi... While you are at home can you do some styling with your Mum.... sorry, not that she needs it..... just she is probably nearer my age than yours..... Thank you..... keep safe and well
I loved this so very much I’ve unfollowed those who are saying I’m ignoring what’s happening in the real world come to find escapism here it’s just not relatable love the lyrics will also try to eb with the flow
This had me lolling.. I had to cut my boyfriends hair with clippers the other day. He now has a not so subtle 'step' in the back. hahaha. Everyone's gonna look like shit by the end of this pandemic! (btw you don't look like shit I just love the visual of us all emerging from our houses months later with amateur haircuts...looking like cavemen ) xxxx
Was about to settle in an watch your vlog, then decided (thanks for the motivation), to have a shower instead of staying in bed in my pyjamas like I've been doing so much during this quarantine, and to keep your videos for when I'm done. I feel like it's the respectful thing to do for myself and for your videos (despite the fact that you wouldn't know about it). Thank you for being a great person! Also, I love that you were walk g around without trousers on, not bevause I'm a creep, but because I think we should all be comfortable with our (bare) skin, it's just natural. Walking around in our knickers at home shouldn't be problematic, and we shouldn't sexualise people in contexts that don't call for it. But, could you possibly do a video about your skincare regimen, for your body, please (if you're comfortable with it)? The skin on your legs looks so smooth: is it just naturally like that or do you exfoliate, moisturise, did you do laser hair removal, that kind of thing. My skin gets bumpier and itchier as I get older so I always wonder what people with smooth skin do 😊
You know you watch Lizzy Hadfields videos too much that when she’s packing you’re suggesting items from her wardrobe in your head... 🤣 I was thinking the toteme knit leggings?
lol, perhaps she Lysolled the hell out of the bags beforehand. I know, I wipe/disinfect every travel bag I own when I am home, even if I do not put them on the bed.
I had the same experience lol Asked my mom to cut my fringe, it was way sorter than yours though, I cried too ! I feel like we all cut our fringe too short at some point in our lives haha much love xx

The fringe episode made me cry with laughter - highlight of the week. Love from Italy.
hahaha I am so glad! xx

I enjoy watching you and your mom together Lizzy, both of you are not just lovely ladies, but hilarious to boot.
"no ones going to see this except the people watching this right now" LOL
The best piece of advice that anyone has given me had to do with relationships but I've found myself carrying it in to other aspects of life and it reminds me a lot of the "ebb with the flow". It's:
"Hold on loosely and move forward"
I LOVE that saying! We need to create a little log of mantras like this that I can keep in the description box for us all to read! xx
@@LizzyHadfield yes! I would love that!
I am here to tell you that ups and downs are normal.
This is my jorney living in China.
After first week passed I cried like a baby.
I coudn't read anything for the first two weeks. My focus was out of sight and all I did was watching youtube or reading news (too much information never helped, completely the opposite, I would get very anxious at night, have nightmares, whole package..)
So for me mornings were the best time of the day to digest all the bad news.
I wanted to work out everyday and some days getting out of bed was so hard. I was feeling drained even if I wasn't doing anything and was just sitting on the sofa.
Some days all of this would look like a movie to me. Some I knew this change was necessary as we really slipped away from the right direction as a human kind.
February was THE longest month of my life I swear.
But after two months, I can tell you, I have more highs then lows. I am really starting to enjoy in some things that, I swear, I wasn't - prior to the pandemic. I am so thankfull for many things in life that I once took for granted.
I try to help my family and my friends by sharing my experience. And being positive for them as much as I can.
We can all adapt guys! And yes it is okay to grieve, and we all should allow ourself to cry from time to time. It is a natural process of recovery and acceptance.
At the end it gets better I promise to you all 💪🏻

Thank you so much for your comment, i am so afraid of the future, you give me some hope...
marie felber it's hard to stay positive I know and I feel you, but everyday you will find more and more hope. ♥️
That was the most stressful fringe cutting I’ve ever watched!
Hahahahahhaa

Absolutely loved this vlog, the ‘Fringe-gate’ had me in hysterics! You’re gonna still look pretty regardless!
Currently in the fourth week of my masters degree, having to try and remain focused and find passion in my new studies all whilst sat at home has been difficult to say the least. For everyone I guess we need to expect this push and pull of emotion, as for most of us this will be a time of balancing our new work/home lives. I couldn’t understand why I needed to take some time away from my studies for a few days but upon watching this vlog it helped me realise that for even someone who is used to working from home like Lizzy, it seems like we are all trying to come to terms with a new normal that has been forced upon us. It’s Monday morning here in Aus- I’m wishing that this week we all begin to figure out our new normal, take time to listen to our bodies and not just push through it - to ebb with the flow!
Yes!! It IS a process of grief in lots of ways, coming to terms with what we have lost and what we now have to adapt to. It's perfectly logical that we can't jump straight into it?? Like you say, even for those working from home already, it's the fact I no longer have the option to nip out and socialise that makes the experience different. We all have to be kind to ourselves and take time with things. And try to make the most of the productive bursts, but then if it doesn't last more than 30 mins, that's ok too!! xx
LOL “I don’t really want to talk about it...” hahahaha oh my
I think your mum is amazing. You have such a good relationship. You made me smile during the fringe trim x
Second week working from home, been out three times for food, but now going to get help to get it, and I’m not going out except on my balcony. I’ve done a total spring clean all yesterday and cleaned the balcony of all the winter leaves - two jobs I hate and it’s felt productive: enjoying Instagram live stories and going to get back into my books after a two month break. Agree - I’m a mile away from the sea, but those trips can be done afterwards. Those trips and going to the cinema again and my favourite cafe are going to feel amazing... and they will happen as long as we are just patient and wait it all out. Hopefully this experience will remind us all to treat so called low skilled workers (aka highly skilled workers keeping the country going) with a bit more appreciation.
Angela Bates same, out in the balcony to get some sun is what we have done in the past 9 days. Going into 2nd of working from home tomorrow, first week was absolute horror, praying the coming days will be better.
Anyways, Saturday we cleaned the apartment from top to bottom (mind you it’s just a 2-br), then I thought to myself after, “ now what?”
Hope you’re keeping well and thanks for staying at home. I wish more people would but it’s also hard for others whose jobs literally mean being out. We’re extremely fortunate to be able to work from home at these times.
Yes! We are all going to enjoy the small things so so much when this is over. SO much positive will come from this experience. People's minds will focus so much and I think lots of people will make personal decisions that will make them so much happier going forward. I hope you're feeling ok - well done for getting a job done that you would normally put off. That's especially impressive in these circumstances!! xx
arrrvee never used my balcony so much!! Going out there first thing, at lunch at after work. Going to be so important to get out there.
I was the same about cleaning, but working from home will mean we have to clean around a bit more. We will all find ways through it, it’s a short amount of time we just weren’t ready for but least we have homes, and spring is around the corner. Would be worse if it was winter starting. And Christmas and things we would have really hated not being a part of.
Lizzy Hadfield I was watching a bus go into Bournemouth and felt a pang of jealousy watching it go by but then thought oh it’s not forever! That moment when you can go out properly again!! That first latte! It’s going to be awesome, we take it all for granted! I’ve had such a hard year already before all this, but I’m actually ok. As long as I do what’s right it will all work out. Hope you and your mum are ok and hope you get a chance to cut her hair!!!!!!
Hey Lizzy - Away don't treat their staff well. They are not a company that is great to be associated with 👌
This ismyYTname came to say the same.
Can you expand on this, please.
@@pagethreemodel google Former Away employees describe a toxic work environment at the luggage company
I saw that report...Female Boss...shocking behaviour!
@@jayjaytailor not surprised. I've had female bosses and they were vile.
I was dying at the fringe saga, my mums a hairdresser and still have the same situation when she cuts my hair - never quite how you picture it! Stay safe and see you at the live tomorrow! Grace x
Yes yes yes to the Palace shoutout, their lyrics have gotten me through so much, glad they bring other people as much comfort and joy as they do me!
Hi Lizzy! The fringe looks fine! No worries, though your mum was trying to do it the right way! It's comforting to see some content that takes our mind off of the current situation. Thank you for the shout out to stay home. We all need to work on this together! Stay calm, stay safe, stay home!
Isn’t Away the brand that had the CEO apologize for abusive behavior towards employees? And then they reinstated her in the same position wherein she was abusing employees?
I have to admit ignorance of not knowing about this, but I am going to speak to my agency about not going forward with the collaboration xx
@@LizzyHadfield so much respect for you! x
@@LizzyHadfield i love that you're not afraid of saying you don't know and taking steps to do the best you can. I respect anyone by default, but I definitely have many, many reasons to respect you!
Lizzy Hadfield Whoa, totally didn’t expect this! I appreciate your integrity! ❤️
Hi Lizzy, I really enjoy the way you are sharing your feelings. We are all together globally in this uncertainty. Sending all love I can from Germany
Love yr vlogs, thanks Lizzie. First day working from home for me here in NZ, so your advice about not putting too much pressure on yourself was very timely 😊
Thank you Lizzy for being realistic and using your platform to raise awareness on how serious this issue is.
I am so disappointed in a lot of youtubers/influencers who has a vast amount of followers who would simply stay quiet about this issue becuase they want their channels/IG accounts to be solely an escape of the reality or as most of them put it - be a source of entertainment in these trying times. Your job is very unique, if one can influence other people to buy/try consumer products, why not use it to raise awareness about this, it’s a freakin’ pandemic for God’s sakes.
“Stay at home” - if more people would say it and see it in your social media platforms, maybe more (younger) people would take it seriously.
Sorry for the long rant but I want to thank you for not tiptoeing about this issue.
Stay safe and healthy!
#flattenthecurve
Thank you! I think in fairness to others people have become very scared of any backlash and want to protect themselves, which I can fully understand when everyone's mental health is strained anyway right now.
But yes, I hope I can use my influence to make people the importance of taking this seriously!! I am finding the whole thing very frustrating! xxx
I can’t tell how much I love hearing u talk. X
I think following your gut and sharing what you feel like sharing is the perfect way to handle this whole thing ❤️ Sending lots of love to you and your mum!
Lizzy, thank you for your vlogs in times like these! Loving it ❤️
Really loving your vlogs at this time. Your honest and open as always and it feels comforting. I have anxiety anyway so my level of anxiety is even higher at the moment but keeping busy is key. I have a pile of books to read and a book case to paint!
Hi Lizzy, your mood is exactly how I’ve been feeling particularly over this weekend. Seeing so many people still out and about especially in the south west UK, going to beaches and moors ... not acceptable as you say. I work in private healthcare and this last week was shitty, and it’s gonna get worse. Stay safe everyone, sending love xx
HONESLTY i was seething last night!!! Seeing the photos of Columbia Road, I think I was still there I would have gone out there and shouted at everyone. It is MADNESS. Speaking on the most selfish level of 'I will be fine if I get it', I want the world and life to go back to normal - those who are pretending it's all still normal now are making this process so much longer for everyone else. And nevermind the consideration for those are aren't lucky to say they would be fine if they got it! xx
So on the same page with the wine comment! Also I so agree about staying home. Walks and groceries are all we do too ( in Canada). No friendly visits or anything:( Thanks for this💐💐💐
Hi Lizzy, I can’t thank you enough for your vlogs right now. Like I saved this one for today as I knew on Mondays I need extra help. To be honest this is the only kind of content I’m consuming: thoughtful, respectful and conscious. I can’t quite believe my eyes that some people are still “trying not to talk about it”, as if we all had the privilege to submerge in Gucci handbags and call it a day. This is our life now...and good news is you are right; things ease out. This is our 2 week of total lock down (not even allowed on walks 💔) and not gonna lie I cried when I saw a video of a forest hahaha. But it gets so much easier. We still have 3 weeks (at least) to go, but the most important bit is to stay healthy, stay sane! And stay home. This will soon pass. Lots of love. Mar from Barcelona. P.S: i can’t wait to be able to get a great pair of jeans and oh those Levi’s! Let’s all pray for all to keep our jobs💕
Be safe and healthy! Here in Israel we are able to go on walks for now but it will be forbidden soon 😓
Mar sending love to Spain 😘
I've had a horrible, terrible day (and week, to be honest), but your videos always manage to lighten up my mood. Thank you! ❤️
hope you are feeling even the tiniest bit better today xxx
Your Mom cutting your bangs had me in stitches 😂
Laughed out loud during this thanks for that. Your sweet mum! Great effort with the fringe trim! “What’re you twiddling it for”😂. Dead.
Can’t wait for the next one 💓
Lizzy, your Mum did an amazing job, she was cutting in a way that I thought she was a pro! It came out great! Love your videos together, and I wish you both to be safe in this crazy chapter of our lives.. xo Jan
Jeez I’m kind of relieved you pulled out a second suitcase. I genuinely thought you were only going to take the one and was like HOW is she going to get everything in one? Why isn’t she folding things smaller?! The anxiety was high let me tell you! Phew...
Also your vlogs are medicine and I look forward to them x
Hahahaha, I still think I have managed to pack quite light! xx
You girls made my day ☺️
Lot’s of LOVE from Lisbon.
We are all in this TOGETHER...
As Queen Florence would say, “Hold on to each other” ❤️ stay safe.
This has really lifted my mood!
I too flew back to my childhood country yesterday from London to self isolate with my elderly parents. The hardest decision I have ever had to make after 11 years abroad but I know it is only temporary and is the safest option for all.
Hahaha I was cracking up watching this as I just helped my mum dye her hair and well, it’s gone a funny shade of orange 🙈 #badhairday
Please keep vlogging!
Hahahaha bless your mum! We are all going to come out of this looking mental. I hope you are enjoying time with your family too! xx
you have such a beautiful way with words, you have expressed what so many people are feeling and i hank you for using your influence to tell people off for not doing the right thing. I live in London and am fed up with those who don't take it seriously . I and many otters have been self isolating for 2 weeks now to avoid being a carrier, let along getting it.. Yes we will all have to make sacrifices but its for the greater good. Anyway, keep safe and keep bringing out great content
Thank you so so much! It makes me happy to see so many people in my audience are self isolating and taking this seriously! xx
I love this. All I want is to understand how others are getting through this. No one else I follow on RUclips is providing this. So, thank you.
You and your mum ❤️❤️❤️ you guys are precious
In New Zealand our schools are still open. All public places are closed. No crowds of a 100. Yet schools are open. I have decided to keep my daughter home. I feel very conflicted at the moment. Watching videos like this makes me feel a bit better. The only comfort is that WE are in this together.
Funny how each country is doing things differently. School was the first thing closed down here, it was like daily each sector was made public. Stay safe 😷🇨🇦
@@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei Well, things have changed. New Zealand is going into lock down in 48 hours. Schools closed today along with everything else. Only essential places are to be open. We have four weeks to get this right. Stay safe for you and your family
Love you and your Mum!!
The picture you posted of your mum on insta 😍 she was so gorgeous! Still is!
I’ve only just started to watch your blogs. Watched few from two years back and not sure if my eyesight is wrong or you have changed so much within two years. There was fuller face with rosy cheeks and fuller figure. Very natural and pretty. Also lovely long, shiny, clean, voluminous hair. Drastic change over time...
Nice to see you back I love you and I always always love when you tuck your shirts in
Thanks for your reply I didn't mean to be over sensitive and love what you do and am very grateful for your content which continually inspires me
Lizzy you are lovely as always. It's ok to be sad and anxious, I felt the same in the beginning of this ( I live in Israel and I am in self quarantine with my BF for almost two weeks). I hope you feel better soon, and stop apologizing for not wearing make-up! You look great anyway but even if you didn't it's nobody's business ❤️❤️❤️
hey lizzy, so glad your vlogging and doucumenting all that is going on.. it feels like we realy do have similar experiences of the situation (with you articulating them better..). i just left my apartment in jerusalem and went back to my parents last friday, and luckily still working from home, but i'v been feeling so low with everything that's going on, i still can't process it... anyway- thank you so much for all your content, all the time and especialy in these times:):)
I don't think anyone can process it right now! I hope you're parents are well and you are enjoying being back home xxx
Stuck at university, alone and can't get home but your keeping me going! Stay safe! x
Ah. Thank you. You have a new subscriber here. It's refreshing to hear a RUclipsr approach this with such unfettered honesty. Love the ebb with the flow mantra. I also read the phrase "transience is permanent" and found that strangely comforting. Change is the basis for life. It is abrupt now but we will adapt and communities will pull together to make it so. In fact we already are. Chin up or chin wobble. All fine. This too shall pass. Innit x
Thanks for the vlog, Lizzy! You and your Mum are so funny + cute together! I'm also in quarantine with my Mom - I feel grateful to be able to spend time with her. Also, not to be annoying, but I noticed you touch your face a lot! I'm also a face toucher and have been having to remind myself to stop! So, just a reminder for you not to touch your face so you don't get sick, and more importantly don't spread it to your precious Mum! Stay healthy! :)
I really do!! It's such a bad habit, in my defence I think I do it more when I am talking to camera then I do normally so hopefully it isn't as bad as it may seem here. Hope you're well! xx
@@LizzyHadfield Oh good!! I know you'll be vlogging a lot in the future, so I just wanted to remind you! Thank you, and I hope you stay well, too! I'm in L.A./California, and it's getting crazy here... It feels like we're living in some parallel universe...
Thanks Lizzie self isolating now but purchased the London book that will keep me going for a bit!
Love you. Take care. Good that you are staying with mom
Loved the bit where your mum cut your fringe 💜
Oh I loved this :) I’m glad you two have each other
Your mums got such a lovely smile
Loving the vlogs 👍 feeling anxious so good to not feeling alone like you say. I work in social care so still having to go out to work & looking like it's going to get even busier work wise 😞 I will continue to look forward to your content, thank you x
Oh Wendy thank you so so much for all you are doing for people! Knowing how hard people are finding it who CAN isolate from the virus, I can't imagine the pressure you are under. Thank you so much! xxx
One of the COVID 19 golden rules is don’t touch your face Liz. Stay safe both of you and stay home as much as possible.
I can't read lately either. And I have done that to my bangs so many times haha. You'd think I would learn, but a couple years go by and I try cutting them myself, it having someone try again.
Some things we never learn hahaha
You and your mom are adorable!
How do you know your readers ages? Just curious . Do you still value your older readers? Age does not define how woke , interesting and stylish one is . I'm 64 and wear all the same clothes, read the same books , make art, exercise , as you do, I'm not being critical just wondering what the thought behind that last comment was. We are all humans feeling the same thing regardless of age and really appreciating that you wonderful bloggers are cheering us up during this unknown period. Love you and your mum , you are so lucky to be able to spend this time together
Mary Porter Porter youtube gives your channel statistics on what their main demographic is. she did say MOSTLY and I’m sure she values viewers of all ages!
Sorry Mary I didn't mean it in that way at all. I can see all the demographics on my analytics - age, sex, location. The majority is aged 25-34, followed by 18-24, then 35+. I didn't mean to exclude anyone with that comment, I love getting comments from my older and younger viewers too and how every shares their own wealth of experience. The answer is that there was little thought behind that comment, other than to make a point that my audience isn't predominantly teenage (not that there is anything wrong with that), but it's mostly adults in a community together. xx
Love your comments about #fringegate. That’s what I am calling it anyway 👍🏽
Highly recommend audible for a time when it's hard to focus on reading physical books. The Harry Potter books are all on there and they are my ultimate comfort blanket because Stephen Fry reads them! I'm really looking forward to your instagram live tomorrow because I know you and Lindsey will provide lots of laughs!
YES! I might listen to some books when I go on some walks! xx
Oh, the anxiety of watching your mother cut your fringe!!! I'm on Day One of Work From Home as the school where I work is closed for the time being (as they all are in NY). Honestly, I love being home alone so this is not as challenging as it is for more social people. And it's supposed to rain every day this week, which makes staying in even easier. But soon I think the changes will be more far-reaching and difficult to live with, so...EBB AND FLOW, my friend, EBB AND FLOW.
IRL cackling at the fringe episode 😂😂
Hopefully this crap will get get sorted much sooner than later.
Good luck and stay safe, all.
Stupid question, but I am so impressed on how white your bedding is: how do you manage to do this?....I could not achieve this if my life depended on it! However....if you leave those dirty suitcase wheels on the duvet, you won't have white sheets for long.....not to mention the germs...... 😀
I would love to know your thoughts on Away and whether you were aware of the issue with their CEO? I’ve seen many influencers working with them since this all became public, which I’ve found pretty disappointing. I keep wondering whether the influencers have not done their research so are unaware of what happened or are just not bothered? (Not sure which is worse). I’d love to know your thoughts on this and reasons why you have continued to work with them.
Woah, had no idea about this
Yes I have to admit I didn't know about this at all, which is ignorance in my part. I will speak to my agency about this and adjust plans with working with them going forward. Thank you for letting me know! xx
❤️ I love that line 'the future is bright if we can ebb with the flow' I was looking something to get me through xx
Loved watching you and your mum and the Pandemic Fringe episode. ❤️
I always cut my own hair, so mums getting me to cut hers. Can a suggest a pair of shears, their like 10 bucks and will do a better easier job
Such a bummer about the Totême jacket. Most of the stuff I own from Totême is of very bad quality, which makes me really sad because I love their aesthetics so much. It's also a shame they keep rising their prices when the quality of their clothes is so low..
I've had my eye on the Pisa trench for a while, how has yours kept up?
May I also ask what size you have in the grey Totême jeans and the Ami trousers? I already have the jeans and plan to get the Ami trousers, but I'm not sure what size to get.
Ah that is so so interesting! I find all the other things from them great, that trench is amazing! But this jacket has put me off it all a little as when I bought it was shocked how much it was anyway.
I have a 25 in the Toteme jeans and a 36 in the AMI. The AMI trousers are honestly brilliant! xx
As a HUGE toteme fan, I’d love to see your full toteme wish list and perhaps how you’d style it all 😋😋
The fringe hilarious watching your face
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought I was gonna be all productive but actually I've just been doing nothing besides getting sad and trying to use TV to distract myself, hopefully it will change for me soon
hahaha yes, I went in with this with so many high hopes for myself and have mostly just impressed myself with how much time I am capable of lying on the sofa! xxx
love the quote :) sorry for your fringe :D
i can totally relate to feeling sad...the weather is so nice and we just want to go out shopping and traveling but we can't
I know, it feels very restricted right now but it will go back to normal soon! xx
Stay healthy and safe
Dont know whether this will help, but after some anxiety-ridden days, i took a break from the news for awhile. Obv still important to check in maybe once a day to keep informed (or yr mum could do that) but taking a break and trying to focus on something normal and unrelated if u can - maybe an art project or something? really does help :-).
Your fringe looks fab :)))))))) Love your mum!
Stay away from “away” luggage
Hi... While you are at home can you do some styling with your Mum.... sorry, not that she needs it..... just she is probably nearer my age than yours..... Thank you..... keep safe and well
Fringe looks fine. Thanks for chatting to you
Your mum is so cute
You and your mum remind me of me and my mum
Hi Lizzy, What type is your lovely silvery suitcase?
I loved this so very much I’ve unfollowed those who are saying I’m ignoring what’s happening in the real world come to find escapism here it’s just not relatable love the lyrics will also try to eb with the flow
This had me lolling.. I had to cut my boyfriends hair with clippers the other day. He now has a not so subtle 'step' in the back. hahaha. Everyone's gonna look like shit by the end of this pandemic! (btw you don't look like shit I just love the visual of us all emerging from our houses months later with amateur haircuts...looking like cavemen ) xxxx
Hahahah if you guys are still together after than then he is a keeper!!! xxx
Was about to settle in an watch your vlog, then decided (thanks for the motivation), to have a shower instead of staying in bed in my pyjamas like I've been doing so much during this quarantine, and to keep your videos for when I'm done. I feel like it's the respectful thing to do for myself and for your videos (despite the fact that you wouldn't know about it). Thank you for being a great person!
Also, I love that you were walk g around without trousers on, not bevause I'm a creep, but because I think we should all be comfortable with our (bare) skin, it's just natural. Walking around in our knickers at home shouldn't be problematic, and we shouldn't sexualise people in contexts that don't call for it.
But, could you possibly do a video about your skincare regimen, for your body, please (if you're comfortable with it)? The skin on your legs looks so smooth: is it just naturally like that or do you exfoliate, moisturise, did you do laser hair removal, that kind of thing. My skin gets bumpier and itchier as I get older so I always wonder what people with smooth skin do 😊
How’s the puzzle large handbag!??
Still getting used to it! I didn't bring it back home with me which is telling I guess! xx
You know you watch Lizzy Hadfields videos too much that when she’s packing you’re suggesting items from her wardrobe in your head... 🤣 I was thinking the toteme knit leggings?
aaaaaaaaaaaand we are back with the suitcase on the bed
lol, perhaps she Lysolled the hell out of the bags beforehand. I know, I wipe/disinfect every travel bag I own when I am home, even if I do not put them on the bed.
@@QHuda_Ahahaha let's hope :D
Lizzy we need answers!
Fantastica 🤗🇮🇹❤️💪
The last generation went to war for us asking us to stay at home is nothing in comparison !!!and yes the fringe is back 👍🏻xx
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had the same experience lol Asked my mom to cut my fringe, it was way sorter than yours though, I cried too ! I feel like we all cut our fringe too short at some point in our lives haha much love xx
Hahahahaha it's brilliant!! We have to laugh or we will cry! xx
I love that Liz !
you got a free suitcase from away? lucky
