Oh Lydia, I went into heart failure on October 29th and was taken to our local hospital, once I got in a room (many hours later) I was alone and decided what a perfect time to listen to your book on Audible, So glad I had that moment in time your book played all through the night it was so awe-inspiring, thank you so much There I was in critical condition dying and listening to you read your book, I was transformed you reading it was the best. I'm 69 and just retired the first of the year, I love watching your videos and have been a fan since you were in your little house. So thank you for writting and reading this wonderful book, and all you do, I will forever be or have a connection to you.
Sending you wishes for a good recovery x
@@kareemahamdy1223hope you are feeling better. ❤️🇬🇧
Wish you speed recovery 🙏 💝
Sending hugs 🤗 🌸
All the best for you, Kathy! Get well soon!🍀❤️🙏🏻
I'll never forget the time when my friend first passed her driving test and drove round to mine with a bunch of our mates to see if I would go to the beach with them, I was still in my pyjamas so couldn't go, and as I waved them googbye my dad shook his head at me and said "let this be a lesson to get dressed and ready for living life fully everyday" I've never forgotten that and get anxious if I'm not dressed and groomed to face the world and whatever it chooses to throw ay me that day!
Your not alone at all. Having been working from home for many years and I get ready as if I’m going to the office. Grab my shoes and my bag that have my agenda, notebook etc that are in my bag then go down to my office and start. I am so much more productive then just rolling out of bed in my pajamas. I did that for 5 months when I started working from home. And you know what happened??? Put on weight🤦♀️ 5kg . Made a big change and started getting dressed, making my bed and then everything else gave me more energy. Going to the gym after work and running errands. So much easier. Completely agree🥰🥰
My father has worked from home for over 10 years and always gotten dressed as if he was going into the office. It makes a world of difference in his productivity and happiness.
Absolutely, me as well
Ali radiates the calmest energy ever, watching him polish shoes has made me feel so peaceful!
we need more Lumi content!
@@julietetloursI agree Lumi needs more screen time!🐱
After having watched you now consecutively for a little over a year, I just want to say that I appreciate you letting us get to know you better… I know it’s such a bizarre relationship, all of us on our screens and you being there in the real real! But I just appreciate that I feel like we’re getting to see more and more glimpses of just who you are… It’s always great to be able to just be ourselves because we can’t be anybody else now can we? Really appreciated this one as well, Lydia. And to all the ladies, who work with her, thank you for all of the work you do. You guys seem like a I gifted, wonderful group of women and it would be a lovely place to work I’m sure!❤🎉
Whilst I adore all of your videos, these home vlogs are by far my favorite. It’s like hanging out with a friend. So relaxed. So warm and lovely. Happy Wintering, all ❤
This!
Mine too! ❤
I'm new but I agree- seeing people enjoying life fully and sharing your taste in things.
Agreed!
You are DEFINITELY not alone, I’m a lawyer and I need to feel “dressed for work” whether I’m off to the office or my study… During the pandemic I took it down a notch but noticed a massive difference in how I felt….
I love dressing u, being at home or out -of course it will be different levels.
I enjoy getting ready even if I'm working from home. It gets my thoughts in the right space before I begin. You're not weird at all.
Thank you for this video Lydia, I have very recently been diagnosed with incurable cancer at the age of 40 and this Christmas means so incredibly much to me, your thoughtfulness and way of vlogging so carefully and gently recently has been so soothing to watch and is bringing me so much joy.
💐💖
Sending you so much love ❤
Hugs 🤗 💖
So sorry you have to go thru this hideous disease.
Sending hugs and positive thoughts 🌸
Sending you positive thoughts.
Yes👏🏻 I’m a stay at home mum and I still get up every single morning and do the same self-care, makeup and outfit routine as I did when I had my career… it’s just who I am and I know if I stayed in my joggers or gym wear I wouldn’t be the best version of me for my children. I love it when people make an effort first and foremost for themselves so you do you Lydia❤❤❤
I am 100% with you. I am a homemaker and I get up and get ready every morning. Makeup and nice outfit. My husband says to me almost every morning “you look nice, where u going?” 😂 My response 9/10 times, “nowhere.” But I feel ready for whatever comes my way and I’m more focused and happy on whatever I’m working on around the house. 🙌🏼
We have natural ability to look like queens daily. When we focus on our families not on outside world beauty routine becomes a real joy. Good job!
I love your self awareness and honesty 🙌 Not many influencers would be so candid about sometimes losing sight of things. Its refreshing!
Not even just influencers- people in general are afraid to be vulnerable.
I’m not eloquent, so I will make this brief. Our much beloved dog passed on March 1st. We have been so very, very sad. I informed my husband that there will be no Christmas decorations this year as I just don’t have it in me. Everything reminds me of her absence. Then I purchased Evergreen on Audible. You filled me with such hope. My decorations, no matter how hard it will be, does not mean the grieving has stopped. Perhaps this can be my way of honoring her. Thank you Lydia for reminding us to embrace the seasons, whatever they may bring.
So so sorry for the loss of your fur baby 😢🌸
I am so sorry for your loss, I loss my cat Bibi this time last year she was so sweet and we miss her terribly I was the same no decorations, then when shopping I saw a beautiful star tree decoration and bought it for her I just put my tree up and put the star in the best place on the tree, it helps a little ❤ I am reading Lydia book but I am going to get it on Audible too x
Getting dressed nicely really works, I’m disabled and in pain most days, since I started dressing better it’s a routine that makes me feel better in myself and the day, pjs are depressing, so are tracky bottoms. You’re doing good , and just finished your book on audible, found it really soothing and enjoyable, nature is medicine. So are dogs ❤❤❤
I come agree, I am much more productive when I get dressed even if I’m not leaving the house.
Love the new non-eyeshadow eyeshadow look! Perfect fall spice color!
The pumpkin seeds in my county Greece we eat for centuries now. We washed them , then dry them that would take hours and then bake them in the oven. When they’re done you can sprinkle cumin, or coriander, or turmeric if you want spicy ( the last 20 years) , or plain salt which was very common for many centuries . After they did salt, garlic powder, mustard powder. Or if you want sweet you can sprinkle sugar. But Greeks eat a lot of pumpkin seeds, they call them “pasatembos” and it was their favourite snack watching football. Still is. You cannot imagine hips of pumpkin seeds. 😂😂😂
Lydia, I’m only 11 minutes into this video but felt compelled to comment… it couldn’t have come at a better time for me, as I find myself trying to settle into a new and better routine that feels both effortless and intentional. I absolutely love your content and you are such an inspiration to me, probably most of all because you stay so “real” with us and share in the same vagaries of life that we all do, albeit on different sides of the pond and through vastly different experiences of daily life. Thank you ❤
I completely understand the candle conversation on all levels. I’ve seen the progression Lydia and I appreciate it both for you and myself.
Regarding the making and labelling of home grown produce, my Great Grandma used to hand write her labels for an even more personal touch (mind you she did have beautiful script handwriting as was taught in schools back then). She was born in 1887 and I was so lucky to know her - she died in 1990. She lived an amazing llife but one of her favourite things to do was to gift things that Great Grandpa had grown, or that she had made with the produce - pickle, chutneys or jams and honey. You make me remember her. Thank you xxx
Lots of thoughts from this video the first and main one for me, was the two guys who came to see you at the start of the signing. One of them said "we are so proud of you" which just touched me as it's just so nice to hear affirmation from others. I do hope you heard it and took probably the same message from all those who came to see you. I am sure you did, but it was just a lovely moment to see.
Another point is the working-from-home mindset. I will be changing my role next year and working at home more, so seeing this mindset of "being ready for the day" even at home is such a great idea.
Keep moving forward 😊 ❤
Lydia I too enjoy these homely videos. Love how you put soo much care and thought into everything, I do too and enjoy giving but sometimes I have to rein it in being such a perfectionist and try and please everyone I end up stressing myself out. But watching you and listening to what you say puts things into perspective so thank you, you always give me that lift that I need xxx
Seeing you with your fans/customers was so heartwarming
Proud of you Lydia!! It’s not easy to hold yourself back especially with candles and home decor ❤
Thanks for being so open in this video. Love you!!!
You are not alone Lydia, getting ready put me in the mood of productivity. I don’t know any other way. And if it doesn’t begin at the start of the day it’s hard to come back from that laps of time. A bag needs to be pair with outfit just in case of quick errands, if you have a big errand or anything to do outside of the home. You are not alone. People sometimes act silly and ask silly questions to get a reaction. Any woman or anyone in tune with themselves know how routines affect us and know the impact of getting dressed and ready for your day.
Getting ready everyday mentally saved me during Covid. It’s a habit I’ve continued and I feel so much better and productive as soon as I am ready!
Cooking with Lydia- loving it 😍
Oh Lydia this evoked such strong childhood memories! My dad had a shoe cleaning kit too and every morning I'd go downstairs and he'd have polished my shoes ready for school . Thank you for this x
52:53 I love it that you said sorry when you came too close to the camera ☺️ This goes to show that you are a person of kindness and genuine care for your viewers. I mean, you don’t need to say sorry for it but you did. I appreciate all your content. Your channel helped me get through pandemic and post pandemic life 🧡 You are an inspiration to all women that you just have to be true to yourself and keep sharing positivity and kindness to anyone who needs it. All the best 🥂🏆
The VB eye liner has reignited my eye game 100% because it is so very soft but does not disappear, which is what an eyeliner should be.
I just ordered some, I am excited to try it
Great warm and cozy at home video - really enjoyed it - thanks!! ❤
Please do not reel anything in ever. You are lovely and allowed to enjoy all the candles and anything else your heart desires at all times 💛
I've fallen off the wagon in a lot of ways right now with my usual routine, too, so I'm glad I'm not alone! :)
You seem so happy! I’ve watched you from almost the beginning of your channel on RUclips. You have matured and grown into a lovely woman! I’m old enough to be your Mother but have enjoyed watching you grow up!❤
I first started working from home during lockdown. I always dressed as if I was going into the office, every day. It created a mental shift for me and was also a reminder to the rest of the family that I was actually at work.
I’m in agreement with you Lydia because when I get dressed up with hair, makeup, and the outfit, I feel motivated. Also, I feel really good when I look put together 😊!
Lydia the whole dress for work from home thing is a good thing. For the last 20 years coaching small biz and solo business people to separate work from home. Totally agree ❤
I am exactly the same way! I’m in a season in between jobs and I still set my alarm and get myself ready as if I’m going to work. It makes me feel productive and motivated. You have a kindred spirit in me. 😊
I’m very new to you but I’ve noticed how much you seem to have to explain yourself and almost apologise about your choices. The pressure of doing your job must be stressful; opening up yourself, your home, your lifestyle for others to see and then judge. You do you Lydia. It inspires me to try different things. I now have pots of ivy and ferns in my home!!! People can take what they want and ignore the rest. No one has to watch the videos and sadly there will always be the occasional person who loves to hate but I’m sure most of us here absolutely love seeing you in your gorgeous home with your beautiful clothes and your lovely husband and pets. It helps me to live with more joie de vivre. Thank you xxx
You’re not alone! I love getting dressed and staying at home ❤it helps uplift my mood
And the mood of your beloved ones! For sure!
It’s true! Giving something special doesn’t have to be from the store. I make bread for my children’s teachers and they love it!
Loved every single minute of this vlog … so effortlessly natural and interesting❤🦘
I’m really enjoying how you started to add small pieces of how you meet Ali and what your past jobs were it’s a nice add in to your videos 😊
I love and am laughing at the periodic conversations you literally have with yourself. I do it all the time too! I'm so glad "we" are not alone 😂
So much of these realizations come with age and starting to prioritize your life. You’re growing up 🥲🥰
The makeup portion of the video so far is so relaxing to watch. 🙂🌻
I am with you on that…I used to work both in the office and at home and on the days I would be home I still did the same routine as I would going in outfit and everything this was great and used the spare time I used to take for travelling to relax or do extra bits around the house before I start my day
Anyone else cleaning and listening to this? I was very happy to see that this was an hour long 🧼
I love watching her videos while doing the dishes 😊
Really enjoyed your video, all parts. So happy for you, for embracing your weakest parts, for having such a good time with your husband, your book! Lots of love, thank you for keeping us such good inspiring company!
Just roasted up one of our big pumpkins today to make purée and freeze it. It’s time consuming and I am exhausted from that but, tastes better, no preserves and making the most of money! Not to mention I made ranch pumpkin seeds in the air fryer! Yum! Going to make a pumpkin soup in my vita mix blender soon! Ordering a Thermomix tomorrow, a bonus they are running ends soon. My anniversary present to myself! Happy day to all watching! Best to Lydia and get team too!
you have the best hubby in the world lyds! bless Ali
Loved this Wintering vlog, Lydia! It was very wholesome and I agree in terms of getting dressed. I work from home now and I have a shower in the morning and get dressed as if I am going into the office because I'm not the most productive working in pyjamas! It was so nice to see you on your journey as you continue to promote Evergreen! .x
Ali is gorgeous, sweet, kind, hard-working....adore him. Never thought watching shoe polishing would be at all interesting.
It seems you get more beautiful every week! Your skin and hair look amazing and their is a twinkle in your eyes that make you shine!!!
I am your kindred spirit. I dress up when I work from home. It’s a way to stay productive while feeling good and ready to work. Many people do this. It’s not ridiculous at all to want to feel great no matter what you do and where you are.
This was such a nice and natural and calming vlog! Thank you, it made my evening ☺️
Lyds, the Millen-Gordon's holiday cards are going to be so beautiful. I am so excited to see what you and Ali do with this years Christmas intro. I completely understand wanting to have the experiences of certain things that bring you great joy. 🌲🌟
My brain works exactly like that! After working from home for 2 years I attest to the fact that I need to be ready in an outfit I would wear to the office. If not I feel like I would not be productive. Lovely vlog Lydia 😊
It is in our love of our homes, our family, our animals ,our gardens and our care of ourselves that we can deal with the world and with people battling any difficulties. 💕💕💕
Lydia! I wake up every morning, get dressed, and carry on with my day. My thought...I am ready for any occasion! errands, visitor, lunch, appointment, I'm typically ready for them all. I even started wearing really nice bed dress and bed wraps for my hair in case I ever have to jump out of bed for any random reason; I feel amazing and am always presentable for my comfort.
Really enjoyed this vlog 💖
Good for you and Ali.You've come a long way and its understandable. You are human and sometimes being able to make a frivolous purchase makes us feel good about ourselves.
How lovely to see all those people being happy for you 🥰, another lovely video 😍🙏
Lydia, I am exactly the same. I have to get up and get ready. I have been like that ever since I can remember. I also work from home. Even if I have a day off I do not stay in my pjs the whole day - I change. My parents have instilled that into my brothers and I since a very young age.
Hi lydia, I completely agree with what you said about needing to get ready for the day unorder to feel productive. It definitely has an impact on my psyche. X
I work from home- I do my hair and makeup as soon as I get up and plan my outfit the night before including jewellery- your not alone! Yes I might wear hoodie and sweatshirt but I style it. I’m living proof I dress for myself ❤ Go Lydia x
I am completely on board with your mindset of needing to dress and function normally working at home. Covid had a huge psychological impact on me when my routine was different. Then I started doing my makeup and dressing again and I felt a lot more productive
It’s not weird at all, I completely understand I’m the same
Really loved thus vlog, love seeing the sausages fighting while you're trying to talk, and Lumi, and your book signings and Ali polishing shoes ❤❤
Today I started to listen to Evergreen and your words inspired me so much. I feel alive and enthusiastic for my future. Thank you ❤
Wow Lydia I have been on the minimalist for years now. It’s so nice to know you are listening to them too 😊
Ali's back to polishing shoes.- love it. When I was a kid , that was my job, to polish the families shoes for church on Sundays, so it was done on Saturday mornings Being German we always had some high styling leather shoes and my brother and sister had their wee ones. I used to leave my dad's to the end because his shoes were HUGE. I think he was a size 12-13. I still love the smell of good shoe polish. Like I said on Ali's page, I married a man that would lovingly polish his shoes on a regular basis, while everyone was running around in sneakers my husband ran around in his various brogues. I love shoes that are not new looking but take on a healthy patina, of good care. Especially men's shoes. It tell you quite a bit about a man, that knows how to take care of their shoes.
How therapeutic polishing shoes & Boots. I Remember my Grand father doing this every Saturday for Getting
All the shoes ready for Church 😜 .
I love love ❤️ your Sheep jumper its adorable 🥰
Have a Good weekend 🥰
Oh wow, Ali is reminding me of my Dad who was a French polisher and treated the wood with the same love as Ali is using for your boots. Such beautiful memories I have of watching him. ❤
The boot brushing scene brought back lovely memories of brushing the school shoes every night for school the next day along with my Dad. I thought the roast dish looked lovely and i still have a spare pumpkin for trying muffins so I might just have a bash Lydia.
My reliable source of puppy power, kindness, encouragement & entertainment! Thanks again 👭!
Your book is on my wish list for Christmas ❤
Definitely not alone in the work from home thing. It made perfect sense!
When I wake up I automatically put my makeup on because that is what makes me feel good and Happy.
I work from home everyday too. And there is no way I’d spend the day in my pjs! I don’t put on outside shoes but I always put in proper clothes, do my hair, put on perfume etc. And at the end of the day I often change into something more ‘loungey’ for the evening. 😊😊
I’m exactly the same! if I’m WFH I get ready as if I’m going into the office. Its the only way I can function in a work sense. If I’m in my casual wear AND at home, I feel like I should be doing homey things. Also having my make up on, hair done and looking put together means I’m ready for impromptu coffee meetings, last minute online meetings and if someone comes to the door! You are definitely not alone.
I absolutely have to get ready to be and feel productive while working from home. You are not alone! My version is doing skincare, little bit of make up, slick hair and a comfy fresh pair of more premium trackies, because my flat is small so I don’t need a bag or shoes to walk around. However, if I had an basement office I would totally do what you do because it makes sense! Because your office is separated by levels in your home, once you go down to work, it’s not like you will be going up and down to get some bits and bobs that you need and forgot.
Shining the boots took me back so many years when I would shine my school shoes since I was 11 years old. It was a private school and shoes had to be every day nice and shiny. I loved doing it because it was like a test to me how good could I make them.
My granddad was a cobbler and made shoes.he would spend so much time cleaning our shoes when we visited. He hated non leather shoes , so i buy good ones and my boots last 4 years .
You are such an inspiration! Love your style!!
Ali for an extra extra finish shine you should fold a duster around a brush and them do a gentle finishing buff. Try it, it really does give an extra shine and finishes to perfection👌. My Dad was a cobbler. ❤ From Rosie O from Devon England 🇬🇧
My Mum always used to say to me that if she had a day when she had a lot she wanted to achieve, she’d put on a pair of “noisy shoes”. She found the sound of clip-clopping about in heals made her feel efficient and productive.
I work from home, and in the office 1-2 days a week and I absolutely get dressed for work every day. I love it! I find that working from home, I had to set the boundaries of when to STOP working because I can easily be a workaholic!
I need all the boot polish details for my husband for Christmas! He polishes his boots every Sunday religiously.
Love your hair! Love your vlog!
Having a ritual for getting prepared for “work mode” is quite normal in my eyes, regardless if going into a different work location or working from home. The ritual can be different for everyone. A man I know opens the blinds in his home office to signify he’s “open for business” at the start of his workday and conversely closes them at the end of his work day. Physically and mentally getting prepared by getting “dressed” for work is a way that works for you. I think it’s smart to be ready to tackle whatever comes your way. Those who work in their pjs may have a delay if asked to be somewhere at the spur of the moment. Whereas you are ready at a moment’s notice to go and do immediately. I have done both and I always seem to feel a bit more on top of my game when I’m fully dressed and “presentable” to go out into the world. But as always, to each their own.
It was so good to see Lumi. She’s been a bit camera shy of late... or perhaps just renegotiating her contract! 😉😂😉 Of course it’s always a pleasure to see your boys playing and just loving life and getting attention! All your fur babies are a delight to see. Thank you for including such cute footage of them in your videos! 😍🥰😍
Really enjoyed seeing your book signings and seeing your reactions as well as the people who bought your book! The genuine pleasure on everyone’s faces was heartwarming! It’s wonderful how all these complete strangers are so thrilled for you and your successes! I couldn’t be happier for you or more proud of you for a job well done! This whole online versus in real life thing is still a bit weird to me. I know I feel invested in those I follow and truly wish them the best, as I would any friend in real life... but yet we’ve never met. It seems most of us are just very happy to celebrate along with you in our happiness for you! Congratulations and a big Woo Hoo! 🎉💗🥰
Also, Lydia, I hope you don’t have to make excuses for your success financially… I know that you’re trying to love on all the different people who are watching you and I know your heart is not to be greedy. I think it’s a beautiful thing when we have been abundantly blessed financially, to give all we can, and to serve all we can, and also, you get to enjoy it as well! These moments are great reminders for all of us. It’s really easy to get caught up in what we want to buy, and what we want to have an own, and then we realize that didn’t, and never will saw the aching in our hearts!❤
Love using the VB eyeliners and bronzer.
I actually dress up everyday for my work from home job. I have calls through-out the day and to be honest I like to look and feel good. It sets my mood.
hi lydia i love seeing the boys but its so lovely to see lumi xxxxxxxx
OF COURSE I DRESS UP TO WORK FROM HOME, my goodness I wouldn't be able to get anything done without a proper outfit and accessories, it really sets me up for succes and makes me take myself ay more seriously! You are definitely not alone in this Lydia, I am 100% with you. If you look the part, you will feel the part, and then you can do the part better, the part in this case, being your job :)
I am a stay at home mum and I am definitely more productive if I get ready properly than I would if was in leggings and t shirt 💖
Aw when the young men said they were so proud of you 🥹 you honestly have the most lovely audience ❤
I'm very new to following along, and am slowly making my way through previous videos while doing my Christmas planning, which was very fitting! I, too, have noticed what getting ready does for me mentally. I'm home each day, homeschooling our four boys (5-14) and this season has been particularly unsettled. Not bad, but unsettled. And the entire week I have found myself under a bit of a grey cloud, and not entirely sure why. Then today it sort of dawned on me - in my busyness, I wasn't taking time to get ready, to be up before the boys for some quiet time to get ready mentally for the day (thank you day light savings), and the house was slipping into chaos a bit (I'm notorious for neat little piles of things I need to get to). Because I don't see many people (we live in a small village in Nova Scotia, Canada), and I don't have a car of my own to use, I don't really have to "get ready". It's always amazing to me how much better I feel once I've put effort into myself. Then I started bit by bit, going around and resetting the house. It's so connected for me. If my brain is chaotic, my environment quickly becomes chaotic. So to combat it, and restore order, I have to put the effort in. And it's something I have to fight to do, because I never feel like doing that. I want to curl up and get lost in a book, and pretend it's not bothering me. But I've come to learn, that when I feel like that, I just have to pick a place to start, and get to work. Before I know it, as I start to see a difference, the cloud starts lifting. Funny enough, and also tying in, the same goes for packaging and things I bring into our home. I'm so drawn to things that are calm and cohesive, and over the years have developed a very strong esthetic. I've made peace with this personality quirk, but I think it's similar to the mental/environmental. So I love the personalized labels and bits! And no, you aren't the only one who struggles with using something new - I blame being the eldest of four girls. Finally, I believe I now need to find my husband a shoe polishing kit. Have a lovely evening! PS. The random thoughts and more candid parts of your videos are my most favourite.
Lydia if you wash your jumper with borax and gently stretch it and keep doing that you should get jumper back to normal size I have done it in the past and it definitely works
I’m the same with dressing for WFH! I feel horrible, low and gross if I’m in trackies, I’ve had to buy new matching pairs in my favourite colour so I do have something cosy to wear on a Sunday! I love wearing a lovely outfit that makes me feel smart and professional and confident, to do my job properly, and for ad hoc calls, and if the door goes!! I used to do no make up and now I do a full face and feel far better for it ❤
