This is actually really refreshing to see leonora, not everyday is fantastic and sometimes RUclips can be saturated with unrealistic content. But this is really honest and strong of you to share that you are in fact human like the rest of us and have bad days too. Lots of love ❤
Firstly, I'm so sorry you're feeling low in mood. I can completely relate and I'm grateful for your honesty, and not pretending everything is always great. This is what your viewers need, I've been having so many ups and downs lately and your videos provide me with such comfort and inspiration. I truly hope you feel yourself soon ❤.
Glad to see you feeling better by the end of this video! and thanks for sharing the day! The boys will always make you happy...unconditional love! 💞...and there's nothing like a good chocolate cake to help turn things around! Yum!!
Lovely Leonora, I am 58 years old. Life is short. Next time this happens, get a friend to watch the dogs and fly to Mallorca to be with your love for the weekend or even the day, if only to take a refreshing swim and bit of sun with your husband. Nothing is more important, and everything can wait a day or two.
It's refreshing to see such a beautifully well rounded life! It's lovely to see your charm and beauty resonate even being natural, no makeup, and in the ease of PJ's . Thank you.
We love you Leonora and so happy to have you in our lives. I admire you that you show us all sides of your life and believe me so many of them are super positive. You turned the vlog around healing yourself by being the house cleaner, grocery shopper, baker and mommy to 4 little sausages so I found you quite remarkable. Hugs!❤❤❤
You are never alone Leonora. You are loved. When I feel like meh, I immediately practise simple gratefulness. Focusing on simple things. I even hugged several trees once to absolutely thank them for the oxygen for my lungs. It works, it really works. It changes the energy and feeling in seconds. Trees need hugs too and they will hug you back. Love you. 💜💜💜💜
In your line of business it is so competitive and demanding no wonder you have an odd down day. You did exactly the right stuff. It makes you empathize for people struggling on a daily basis feeling that way and more. As everyone has said they all get them. If you have a super close pal who you can share all is such a mood lifter. Sweet tomorrow Leonora.
As a single 30 year old woman who lives alone (aside from my adorable pup) I felt this so deeply. It is perfectly acceptable to feel lonely, and while it is a really crappy feeling in the moment, it does help you appreciate the time spent with others. I get into that funk sometimes on Friday nights when I know everyone else has plans or on super rainy weekends when I don’t want to leave my couch. I find that putting on an upbeat playlist, pouring a glass of champagne, and dancing around the kitchen while I bake helps really boost my mood. I also will ensure I only read an uplifting book or watch a happy show to ensure I don’t slump right back into the emotion after the dance party. It seems silly, but forcing yourself to put on a smile and dance around does really work wonders!! I hope you get out of this funk soon, but until then, we’re here for you ❤️
Oh I love this comment so much! Thank you 🙏🏻 I couldn’t agree more! This evening I put my favourite playlist on, opened a bottle of red wine (mainly for my spaghetti bolognaise) but had a small glass and danced around the kitchen with the boys making dinner! If anyone saw me, they would think I had lost the plot but I loved every second! Xxx
Hello Leonora❤ my husband works away and when he comes and goes I feel exactly the same some days..your shopping trip was so like what I do, but feeling the way you did for those couple of day's look what you did for us all here watching, you managed to put together another homely vlog which I really loved. I sometimes shut myself off from the world when I feel like that and you didn't which is what I love about your vlogs, down to earth and true to reality. You keep me going some days and I admire you for all your hard work that brings us viewers to keep watching you! Oh and I will definitely be making that chocolate cake it looks yummy!! 😋 always love seeing you Leonora and getting inspiration as always , lots of love xxx😊
Glad to see that by the end of the day you were feeling less down. Everybody feels this way once in awhile unless your a robot. That dessert is enough to cheer anyone up !!! I am glad we can help you feel better Leonora because you do the same for us.😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
Thank you so much for sharing this part of you I really wanted to give you a hug. And I feel like this really showed me it doesn’t matter what life you live you can and are allowed to have bad days. But I love the mindset that you have you decided that you’re not going to stay in it! That blew my mind and I know for a fact for all of us human beings it’s sometimes very hard to make a decision like that. I’m grateful. I am glad the day ended better for you❤ you had a delicious meal delicious dessert that I wish I could smell from the screen. True inspiration ❤
The at home vlogs are your superpower!!! Just you being you. That’s why we’re all here. I’m sure the funk is passed by now Thanks for sharing this helps people we all have those days❤❤
I adore when the dogs go to bed it is so sweet how they lovingly wait their turns until all tucked in and kissed and given treats before bedtime! It truly is like watching a Disney movie. I adore my little boy as well and shower him with kisses and hugs it is a special time we share!
Thank you for cheering me up a bit, I am a widow and have coped for four years now, but today, I just could not get motivated. Your videos have helped me through my grief. I love the boots 💕
Hope you're feeling a bit better Leonora,we all have those days & your allowed to have an off day as well,you work so hard,you have a beautiful soul & you make us all laugh,you have know idea how much you make me laugh,I quite often have a chuckle to myself when I'm watching you & those dogs of yours crack me up,so don't let the world get you down.😊❤
Honey you make me chuckle and I love you for it. The cake at the end made me go out to having me purchase my own " sweet moment of chocolate". You're a great ambassador for, " let them eat cake". ❤Your channel
What a wholesome, homely vlog, I’ve adored it all. Leo you make me giggle even on your low day lol ( we all get them don’t we) I loved watching you pottering and how you adore you baby boys 🐶 and all their routine. Keep just being you xx 😘
When this vlog first started out you brought me back to my single days when I was your age, lived by myself in Toronto and wasn't dating anyone. Weekends were brutal and quite lonely and I would feel at sixes and sevens like you did until you perked up and got yourself out of your funk. I often would bake just to keep busy but in my case it wasn't good for me because I wasn't as slim, trim and gorgeous as you are. I also didn't have the control that you have and wouldn't make proper meals half the time, which is weird in hindsight because I love to cook and am good at it but I guess I prefer to cook for others. I am so glad you got yourself turned around and were your usual happy self in the end. Oh, and BTW happier days came along a year later for me when I met the fellow I would marry and that was 49 years ago.
Its alright sometimes that we have ups & down.. specially in this weather.. i onow you always cheerful lady.. but since you open the Holland copper boots.. it boosts your mood with your cake and scrumptious cake... Looks so ridiculously delicious... I would love to try to bake this again...❤
Darling Leonora! There is no better treatment against blues, than the pair of perfect boots! Your chocolate coloured HC boots are perfect! So was your dinner! And i just love the kind of weather you are having. So even when you are feeling down and lonely, you manage to bring so much joy to us. Much Love from Moscow.
Hello beautiful Leonora! Was so sorry to hear that you are feeling sad and blue in mood today!Please know that you are never alone and are so very loved by everyone! You bring so much joy, kindness, and love to those around you!Please make sure you are getting enough rest relaxing! Without proper rest everything will seem much harder!You are so loved! Love you so much Leonora! Love,Janice and Larry Watson. Pittsburgh PA USA
Hi Leonora unfortunately l think we all have a down day now and then. You handled it so well, doing the shopping making that gorgeous cake and then to really brighten your day Holland Cooper with those gorgeous leather boots. Your beautiful little doggies always keeping you company. It still was a beaut video much love.
Lancelot going to take the carrot then turning it into a yawn! The boys are just precious! Sorry you were having a down day/a funk/feeling off. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to be your real self with us and express when things aren’t all sunshine and roses. ❤
Well the day ended on high note. It is often a good thing to have a complete break...your life is extremely busy. Love to have a good amount of time with the boys they are just delightful and certainy brighten up your day. The banana/Choclate loaf looked so good.
I lost my beloved little pug Rosie on Monday.. .I watched your video and for me i had someone else who wasn't having a good day...I had to skip through the dogs bedtime routine ..which is usually my favourite...when your next feeling like that call your mum she will comfort you and pep you up ..that's what mums do...x
Well Leo just proves you're human like the rest of us we all get days like that it's like a cloud sitting over you no reason or rhyme it just appears it can stay for a few hours or it can stay all day then it disappears and you're ok again 😊😊😊😊
When I’m feeling the blues they stick around until I sit and allow myself a good cry. It’s amazing how my mood lifts so quickly afterwards. Loved your homey vlog… thanks for the great steak and banana bread recipes. Yum!!!
Hey Leo, we all have down days but you did the right thing and kept busy. Choc/banana loaf looked truly scrumptious, no wonder it lifted your spirits. Huge hugs my lovely ❤
My husband works long days. He's gone by 6 am every weekday, and sometimes not home until 8 pm. He goes away on trips sometimes too, overnights. My day's are spent with my almost 19 month old daughter, and our lovely German Shepherd girl. We go on long walks in the woods, and mainly home for the rest of the day. It can be lonely for me. I don't get much adult conversation. My family live an hour and 30 from us. I don't see them often. Hubby and I are always so exhausted come nighttime, we don't get much time together. We are so young too- he's almost 33 and I am 29. But God is good and remember your many blessings. Leonora I enjoy your videos so much.😊
Sorry, I deleted my comment. I just remember you so well from a vlog in Majorca, and we had a little chat. And then because of that, just happened to notice you because you said you were feeling poorly. Anyway, hope you feel so much better now, x 😊😊😊
Putting the dogs to bed just made me smile. I do the same thing with my little girl, Fifi. She is a maltese. We had sausage dogs growing up. Your 4 are adorable, and you can see how you love and care for them. Thank you for sharing your routine.
Just love watching your dogs! I had two, they’re great company and always fun to be around!! The banana bread looked amazing, the recipe did call for 3-4 large bananas so you’ll just have to make another one 😊
Oh Leonora, I just want to give you a hug 🤗 it’s horrible when one feels like that, I find Sundays are the absolute worst when alone, especially when it’s raining and Mark is in the sun. Tomorrow is another day, I hope you feel better soon 😊 x
So precious is the sight of you spending loving cuddle time and putting to bed your sweet pups❤! The boots truly are gorgeous and so happy that they lifted your spirit! And of course the banana loaf 🎉.
Oh sweetheart I wanted to give you the biggest hug, not nice having one of those days, but sorry you did make us giggle… a lot! 😂 Random shopping… hilarious! 3 legged dog… knicker wetting 😅 I kept sending you brain messages GET THE CHAMPERS OUT!!! so you made chocolate cake instead! Cheered you up thou, & us too. Thank you beautiful lady for sharing, you not only kicked out that funk fog, but cheered us all up too, you look stunning in everything 🩷 huge hugs 🥰😍😘
Leo, I am just catching up! This vlog is the funniest, and I am in fits of giggles. You are so like my daughter. Crying at three legged dogs, the commentary on the baking…cooling time absolutely not Sally! 😂😂😂 you’ve made my Friday evening xxx
Hi Leonora, we all have our days where we are feeling not so positive and you are never alone especially with your community on here. Please mind ur yourself ❤❤ ❤ sending a virtual hug from me and my two German Shepherds❤❤❤❤
Aww darling Leo 🤗. It can be so hard to be “on” all the time, but you recognised the downtime and dealt so well. I’ve been married for 24 years and the first probably half of it my husband was away an awful lot working all over the world. We don’t have children so I was alone a hell of a lot, I too found the joy in baking etc., keeping busy was key for me but also taking time for me to have the extra long bubble bath and watching all the films and tv shows he didn’t like to watch and the most important doggie snuggles. Sending love 🥰.
Love seeing this side of you. Not that I enjoy seeing you down but it was such an honest calm and peaceful day with you! Really enjoyed it and your doggies ❤
Hi Leonora -thank-you for allowing us an insight into your weekend - I must say your looking really good all toned & slim - I hope you are feeling a little better it just goes to show that everyone has their ups & down days - Wow Wow!!!! the boots I want a pair my only issue is that I have big calves but I am willing to give them a try on (going on my christmas list asap) -
Cheer up Leonora, I am the same though. I spend a lot of time on my own. But hang on, those boots should cheer you up. They are gorgeous. Wow they are nice. Keep your spirits up, have some champagne ! 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
You may have Seasonal Affect Disorder. SAD is an actual thing! Dreary weather and lack of sunlight can affect your mood. Cheer up; you’re not alone! Many people have it! It also doesn’t help that your hubby is not there. Just having someone about helps to lessen the stress. Big hugs to you and the little ones!
My dear, favourite-person- on-Earth Leonora❤️ Believe it or not, I am having this kind of day today..good old cry helps. I guess it's just OK to be human and it's OK to be in a need of a vent. Sending you my warm hugs, we are going to be ok, as you always say, let's do this❤️❤️
Well, sweetie pie, for a quiet and honest vlog, you sure had me laughing! You in your pjs on the couch with the red light mask ...oh my gosh 😂😂😂 you had me in stitches and then when you were modeling those beautiful HC chocolate boots while in your sporting clothes lol 😂 YOU'RE ADORABLE LEONORA... even when you're feeling blue, you're still so joyful..Thankyou ❤ LOVE YOU. BLESSINGS P.S. Vitamin D will help,especially taking it right before bed😊
I just love the fur babies. They are so sweet! It's nice that you get a night of pampering once in a while. I cook for one all the time. It's lonely at times. Sometimes I don't mind the silence and other times I do. I have my faithful companion, my poodle Cody who keeps me busy and gives me snuggles. Enjoy whatever you make for dinner. We all have down days. I understand. Cheer up! 😀❤🇱🇷
Reset❤The boys are so adorable….. It’s K to feel like that once in a while.. Leonora my husband used to travel a lot for work and at times I used to feel lonely. Big hug to you dear .
You are such a good cook, but its hard to make a piece of cucumber into Yorkshire pudding! You have been so generous with everyone, you are tired because you give so much of yourself. Enjoy curling up on the couch with your banana and chocolate bread or buy a book and read it while you eat! 💐🤗. Flowers and hugs .
I am realising you are just as normal as the rest of us 😂, not to posh I like that ❤❤❤the dog with three legs 😂😂😂😂😂I can’t help it but it was random and funny
I just adore you ❤ I love that you shared yourself with us when you’re feeling blue. I have personally been having more of those days than not for far too long, and as sad as it is to see you feeling low- it is also nice for others to see that even the cheeriest person can struggle sometimes Comments about ‘fixing’ loneliness by being with your partner or suggestions of that ilk really miss the point, I feel. I get the most bizarre spring-time blues! (And apparently October blues 😂) There’s never a rhyme or reason, so I just accept it, knowing it will pass, but my point is that we should allow ourselves and others to feel sub par occasionally without trying to fix it. Sometimes we just have to feel and deal so-to- speak. Sending you a huge squeeze, Leonora. Much love xxx
Thank you so much Nicky, I am so grateful for your kind and raw comment! 🤍 I am sad and upset that you have more low days that high but I do agree that sometimes you need to really spoil and treat yourself to ensure that you are well rested and in a way truly kind to yourself but equally, I felt that I needed a little pep talk, dust myself off and hold my head high and stop moping and worrying about things that I simply can not change! There is sooo much to be thankful about and you have to take the small glimmers of life and see the beauty in everything even when I really need to look for it 🤎 It certainly makes me feel happier when having those down days 🤍
Oh that made me sad that you felt so low Leonora, we all get like that some days don’t we & it’s ok 🙁 You’re missing Mark & knowing he’s in the sunshine didn’t help! I’m sure those stunning HC boots lifted your mood .. gorgeous 😍 & then choc banana cake 😋 Big hug darling girl ❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
You always lift my mood and I always look forward to your vlogs. I can hardly wait to see what you have planned for vlogmas this year. Your intro last year was so enchanting. Thank you for being you, so down to earth and real. ❤️ Loved the HC boots!
I had a day to myself and made banana bread with chocolate chips on top using the Southern Living cookbook recipe. It was so perfect. What a coincidence. I am watching this after I had done that. Thanks Leonora for inviting us into your reset day. We all have days like this❤
Leonora, you are such a trooper, soldiering on even when not feeling up to it. Thank you for your wonderful sense of humor about it all. ~Janis from Naples, Florida
I loved this video, you got on with it and the day ended well. Your boys are a delight, I only have one fluff ball bichon and he is my partner in crime. I took am having my first down time for a while, and I firmly blame you for that!. Having watched you clearing out your wardrobes I was inspired. I dutifully emptied and sorted my clothes and other umm bric a brac. Then I noticed them back wall was faded so decided to paint it. Then painted skirtings. Then bought new light fittings blah blah blah. Now full again, the extra effort can't be seen but I know it's done. *clink* and cheers to you.
Fab vlog as always Leo, made this today. Choccy banana bread chefs kiss is right, absolutely delicious. Had it warm with some vanilla ice cream, scrummy. 😋🥰 Hope you’re feeling better, ‘down days’ can be hard but chocolate baking helps. ❤😊
You know, it's quite often the ones of us who appear elevated and smile all the time, that are hiding a sadness. Loneliness is a very real condition, even when surrounded by people, it's possible to feel lonely. You need some meaningful time with your husband. Just the two of you. Time to chat, reflect and be honest about your emotions. Hugs ( from one who knows)
As beautiful and moody as the autumn is, I feel it is also the hardest on our emotions - and for our bodies to adjust to the cold and damp ❤🍂🍁 best to indulge in a warm bubble bath with a chilled glass of wine 😊
Leo,I feel the same sometimes when I’m alone it’s at home it’s weird, maybe it’s because we are used to having so many people around all the time lol but cake and holland cooper always help 😊
Dear Leonora, We all have days that feel lonely. We can be in a room full of people and feel lonely. It's what you do to get out of that funk that matters. You did just that: getting prepared for the week, baking, and walking. I also find a great book works. Sometimes, we all just need a day to ourselves to regroup, and that's OK. Have the best week ahead, cuddle your pups, and wear those stunning HC new boots. Love from Canada
This is actually really refreshing to see leonora, not everyday is fantastic and sometimes RUclips can be saturated with unrealistic content. But this is really honest and strong of you to share that you are in fact human like the rest of us and have bad days too. Lots of love ❤
OMG Lenora the way you put your dog's to bed my heart just melts
Firstly, I'm so sorry you're feeling low in mood. I can completely relate and I'm grateful for your honesty, and not pretending everything is always great. This is what your viewers need, I've been having so many ups and downs lately and your videos provide me with such comfort and inspiration. I truly hope you feel yourself soon ❤.

Just love how you put the boys to bed!
You are never alone Leonora. You are loved. When I feel like meh, I immediately practise simple gratefulness. Focusing on simple things.

Aww, Leo, even on a down day, you're still the sweetest of young ladies. Sending you a big hug. Xxx
Oh Leo, you are truly a special person. Thank you for sharing your more venerable moments, as always so authentic. You are magic ❤
I like this Leonora a lot. Simple, honest, real and no pretentions.
I would love to meet this Leonora again in another vlog. ❤
Seeing you put those gorgeous dogs to bed is a pure delight, they are loved so much, what lucky Doggles they are!
Thank you for being so bare with us. That was very brave of you and so refreshing. You are just fantastic!!
Loved this homely vlog. Seeing you actually just chill at home with your sausages. So adorable. You are embracing alone time and self care.
Aw Leonora this is not like you, you’re always so upbeat! But do you know what your allowed to have a down day we all do as you said. 🥰
In your line of business it is so competitive and demanding no wonder you have an odd down day. You did exactly the right stuff.

So human! So honest! So natural! So dear!
I love the walks and the bedtime of the doggies 😍

Absolutely NOT Sally!!😂😂😂😂
You are a ray of sunshine even when you are not fully feeling yourself xx
Hahahhaa ABSOLUTELY NOT SALLY 😂 who can wait 2 hrs to cool?!?! The best bit is having it slightly warm 😂😋
Darling Leonora! There is no better treatment against blues, than the pair of perfect boots! Your chocolate coloured HC boots are perfect! So was your dinner! And i just love the kind of weather you are having. So even when you are feeling down and lonely, you manage to bring so much joy to us. Much Love from Moscow.

We all have "those" days but there is nothing chocolate can't fix (especially made by your own fair hands). Lovely video...thank you!
You came across as so normal here sweet girl. Loved every minute of this precious vlog, including the sweet boys ❤
Lancelot going to take the carrot then turning it into a yawn! The boys are just precious!
Sorry you were having a down day/a funk/feeling off. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to be your real self with us and express when things aren’t all sunshine and roses. ❤

Lovely easy weekend. We have not had rain in two months in NJ. C at l can’t wait for a rainy time. Feel better 🥰
I lost my beloved little pug Rosie on Monday.. .I watched your video and for me i had someone else who wasn't having a good day...I had to skip through the dogs bedtime routine ..which is usually my favourite...when your next feeling like that call your mum she will comfort you and pep you up ..that's what mums do...x
Hi. Great and thankyou so much. I don't know how to leave details x
Love how you tuck in the boys!!
Well Leo just proves you're human like the rest of us we all get days like that it's like a cloud sitting over you no reason or rhyme it just appears it can stay for a few hours or it can stay all day then it disappears and you're ok again 😊😊😊😊
I can feel this meh days😒 no words needed ,but sometimes a hug. Sending a virtual hug🥰
When I’m feeling the blues they stick around until I sit and allow myself a good cry. It’s amazing how my mood lifts so quickly afterwards. Loved your homey vlog… thanks for the great steak and banana bread recipes. Yum!!!
Hey Leo, we all have down days but you did the right thing and kept busy. Choc/banana loaf looked truly scrumptious, no wonder it lifted your spirits. Huge hugs my lovely ❤
My husband works long days. He's gone by 6 am every weekday, and sometimes not home until 8 pm. He goes away on trips sometimes too, overnights. My day's are spent with my almost 19 month old daughter, and our lovely German Shepherd girl. We go on long walks in the woods, and mainly home for the rest of the day. It can be lonely for me. I don't get much adult conversation. My family live an hour and 30 from us. I don't see them often. Hubby and I are always so exhausted come nighttime, we don't get much time together. We are so young too- he's almost 33 and I am 29. But God is good and remember your many blessings.
Leonora I enjoy your videos so much.😊
@@Maniemac79do we know one another?
Sorry, I deleted my comment. I just remember you so well from a vlog in Majorca, and we had a little chat. And then because of that, just happened to notice you because you said you were feeling poorly. Anyway, hope you feel so much better now, x 😊😊😊
@@Maniemac79oh! 😅 Gotcha. You're too kind. ❤
Those precious babies are so obedient ❤❤❤❤
Putting the dogs to bed just made me smile. I do the same thing with my little girl, Fifi. She is a maltese. We had sausage dogs growing up. Your 4 are adorable, and you can see how you love and care for them. Thank you for sharing your routine.
Just love watching your dogs! I had two, they’re great company and always fun to be around!! The banana bread looked amazing, the recipe did call for 3-4 large bananas so you’ll just have to make another one 😊
We all get those down days Leonora, we just have to do things which makes it pass and it always does. Sending much love xx
Oh Leonora, I just want to give you a hug 🤗 it’s horrible when one feels like that, I find Sundays are the absolute worst when alone, especially when it’s raining and Mark is in the sun.
Tomorrow is another day, I hope you feel better soon 😊 x
Thank you so much my darling! Hahaha I couldn’t agree more! 🤍
So precious is the sight of you spending loving cuddle time and putting to bed your sweet pups❤! The boots truly are gorgeous and so happy that they lifted your spirit! And of course the banana loaf 🎉.
Yet again, my fave time with you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
😭 Thank you so so much! xxx
Oh sweetheart I wanted to give you the biggest hug, not nice having one of those days, but sorry you did make us giggle… a lot! 😂
Random shopping… hilarious! 3 legged dog… knicker wetting 😅
I kept sending you brain messages GET THE CHAMPERS OUT!!! so you made chocolate cake instead! Cheered you up thou, & us too. Thank you beautiful lady for sharing, you not only kicked out that funk fog, but cheered us all up too, you look stunning in everything 🩷 huge hugs 🥰😍😘
Leo, I am just catching up! This vlog is the funniest, and I am in fits of giggles. You are so like my daughter. Crying at three legged dogs, the commentary on the baking…cooling time absolutely not Sally! 😂😂😂 you’ve made my Friday evening xxx
Awww your comments make my day! Thank you so much! Xx
Hi Leonora, we all have our days where we are feeling not so positive and you are never alone especially with your community on here. Please mind ur yourself ❤❤ ❤ sending a virtual hug from me and my two German Shepherds❤❤❤❤
Aww darling Leo 🤗. It can be so hard to be “on” all the time, but you recognised the downtime and dealt so well. I’ve been married for 24 years and the first probably half of it my husband was away an awful lot working all over the world. We don’t have children so I was alone a hell of a lot, I too found the joy in baking etc., keeping busy was key for me but also taking time for me to have the extra long bubble bath and watching all the films and tv shows he didn’t like to watch and the most important doggie snuggles. Sending love 🥰.
Love seeing this side of you. Not that I enjoy seeing you down but it was such an honest calm and peaceful day with you! Really enjoyed it and your doggies ❤
You’re allowed to have low days, you’re a human not a robot! Even on your low days your sun is out here popping out!
Looove the baking/cooking as usual, tucking the wee doggies into bed is just soo cute, THANK YOU for the lovely content you give us my dear.
A cracking homey vlog just what I needed to lift my spirits Leo x much love 🥰
Hi Leonora -thank-you for allowing us an insight into your weekend - I must say your looking really good all toned & slim - I hope you are feeling a little better it just goes to show that everyone has their ups & down days - Wow Wow!!!! the boots I want a pair my only issue is that I have big calves but I am willing to give them a try on (going on my christmas list asap) -
Looking forward to this: happy weekend Leo ❤
Happy Thursday, thank you for watching! xx
Cheer up Leonora, I am the same though. I spend a lot of time on my own. But hang on, those boots should cheer you up. They are gorgeous. Wow they are nice. Keep your spirits up, have some champagne ! 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
You may have Seasonal Affect Disorder. SAD is an actual thing! Dreary weather and lack of sunlight can affect your mood. Cheer up; you’re not alone! Many people have it! It also doesn’t help that your hubby is not there. Just having someone about helps to lessen the stress. Big hugs to you and the little ones!
My dear, favourite-person- on-Earth Leonora❤️ Believe it or not, I am having this kind of day today..good old cry helps. I guess it's just OK to be human and it's OK to be in a need of a vent. Sending you my warm hugs, we are going to be ok, as you always say, let's do this❤️❤️
Well, sweetie pie, for a quiet and honest vlog, you sure had me laughing! You in your pjs on the couch with the red light mask ...oh my gosh 😂😂😂 you had me in stitches
and then when you were modeling those beautiful HC chocolate boots while in your sporting clothes lol 😂 YOU'RE ADORABLE LEONORA... even when you're feeling blue, you're still so joyful..Thankyou ❤ LOVE YOU. BLESSINGS P.S. Vitamin D will help,especially taking it right before bed😊
I can't stand hearing someone chewing with their mouth open. But when fur babies do it, it melts my heart. 😍
I just love the fur babies. They are so sweet! It's nice that you get a night of pampering once in a while. I cook for one all the time. It's lonely at times. Sometimes I don't mind the silence and other times I do. I have my faithful companion, my poodle Cody who keeps me busy and gives me snuggles. Enjoy whatever you make for dinner. We all have down days. I understand. Cheer up! 😀❤🇱🇷
Reset❤The boys are so adorable….. It’s K to feel like that once in a while.. Leonora my husband used to travel a lot for work and at times I used to feel lonely. Big hug to you dear .
You are such a good cook, but its hard to make a piece of cucumber into Yorkshire pudding! You have been so generous with everyone, you are tired because you give so much of yourself. Enjoy curling up on the couch with your banana and chocolate bread or buy a book and read it while you eat! 💐🤗. Flowers and hugs .
Ach Leonora, days like this come and go, take some chocolate...chocolate does't ask and questions, she understands 😘 hugs from Germany
Noting like a nice hot cut of tea! It's so relaxing!! And those chocolate brown boots! Love!
I Believe your Soul was saying… Regroup and Create from within…Just You and Your Higher Self🥰🥰🥰
We can all do with a calming relaxing weekend Leonora....so make sure you take yours!
OMG that Banana Bread looks scrumdiddyocious!!!!! Im going to bake this for Sunday afternoon Tea!
Aww thank you so much! It was wildly delicious 🤍
I just made some banana muffins and it was deliciously moist and perfect
My gorgeous. Leonora. So enjoyed 🎉 such a great personality my favourite utuber by far. Love a dose of you ❤️ 😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
Leonora, I'm here for all of your content, but the puppy butt wiggles are my absolute favorite! I wish all dogs were put to bed the way you do it!!
I am realising you are just as normal as the rest of us 😂, not to posh I like that ❤❤❤the dog with three legs 😂😂😂😂😂I can’t help it but it was random and funny
I just adore you ❤
I love that you shared yourself with us when you’re feeling blue.
I have personally been having more of those days than not for far too long, and as sad as it is to see you feeling low- it is also nice for others to see that even the cheeriest person can struggle sometimes
Comments about ‘fixing’ loneliness by being with your partner or suggestions of that ilk really miss the point, I feel.
I get the most bizarre spring-time blues! (And apparently October blues 😂) There’s never a rhyme or reason, so I just accept it, knowing it will pass, but my point is that we should allow ourselves and others to feel sub par occasionally without trying to fix it. Sometimes we just have to feel and deal so-to- speak.
Sending you a huge squeeze, Leonora. Much love xxx
Thank you so much Nicky, I am so grateful for your kind and raw comment! 🤍
I am sad and upset that you have more low days that high but I do agree that sometimes you need to really spoil and treat yourself to ensure that you are well rested and in a way truly kind to yourself but equally, I felt that I needed a little pep talk, dust myself off and hold my head high and stop moping and worrying about things that I simply can not change! There is sooo much to be thankful about and you have to take the small glimmers of life and see the beauty in everything even when I really need to look for it 🤎 It certainly makes me feel happier when having those down days 🤍
Always here if you want to chat and thank you so much again xxx
@@LeonoraSmee95 🥹 aww thank you so much, Leonora. You have the most precious heart and generous spirit 😌💛 xx
Oh that made me sad that you felt so low Leonora, we all get like that some days don’t we & it’s ok 🙁 You’re missing Mark & knowing he’s in the sunshine didn’t help! I’m sure those stunning HC boots lifted your mood .. gorgeous 😍 & then choc banana cake 😋 Big hug darling girl ❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
You always lift my mood and I always look forward to your vlogs. I can hardly wait to see what you have planned for vlogmas this year. Your intro last year was so enchanting. Thank you for being you, so down to earth and real. ❤️
Loved the HC boots!
I had a day to myself and made banana bread with chocolate chips on top using the Southern Living cookbook recipe. It was so perfect. What a coincidence. I am watching this after I had done that. Thanks Leonora for inviting us into your reset day. We all have days like this❤
Leonora, you are such a trooper, soldiering on even when not feeling up to it. Thank you for your wonderful sense of humor about it all. ~Janis from Naples, Florida
This vlog made me fall in love with you, so genuine and real! Thanks for showing the not so glamorous parts of life. ❤
I loved this video, you got on with it and the day ended well. Your boys are a delight, I only have one fluff ball bichon and he is my partner in crime. I took am having my first down time for a while, and I firmly blame you for that!. Having watched you clearing out your wardrobes I was inspired. I dutifully emptied and sorted my clothes and other umm bric a brac. Then I noticed them back wall was faded so decided to paint it. Then painted skirtings. Then bought new light fittings blah blah blah. Now full again, the extra effort can't be seen but I know it's done. *clink* and cheers to you.
Fab vlog as always Leo, made this today. Choccy banana bread chefs kiss is right, absolutely delicious. Had it warm with some vanilla ice cream, scrummy. 😋🥰 Hope you’re feeling better, ‘down days’ can be hard but chocolate baking helps. ❤😊
You should no be lonely. You. Have your gorgeous fluffy baby’s ❤❤
You know, it's quite often the ones of us who appear elevated and smile all the time, that are hiding a sadness. Loneliness is a very real condition, even when surrounded by people, it's possible to feel lonely. You need some meaningful time with your husband. Just the two of you. Time to chat, reflect and be honest about your emotions. Hugs ( from one who knows)
As beautiful and moody as the autumn is, I feel it is also the hardest on our emotions - and for our bodies to adjust to the cold and damp ❤🍂🍁 best to indulge in a warm bubble bath with a chilled glass of wine 😊
Thank you so much darling xx
Leo,I feel the same sometimes when I’m alone it’s at home it’s weird, maybe it’s because we are used to having so many people around all the time lol but cake and holland cooper always help 😊
Dear Leonora, We all have days that feel lonely. We can be in a room full of people and feel lonely. It's what you do to get out of that funk that matters. You did just that: getting prepared for the week, baking, and walking. I also find a great book works. Sometimes, we all just need a day to ourselves to regroup, and that's OK. Have the best week ahead, cuddle your pups, and wear those stunning HC new boots. Love from Canada
Love dark choc chip banana loaf! Must make one soon, but after the birthday cake is eaten 🥳❤🦴🦴🦴🦴
Love the HC boots they are fabulous on you 🥰 hope your feeling better xx
The dogs are so cute 🥺🥰
Aww Leonora bless you ❤️ your only human like the rest of us, we all have those days, luckily it’s not very often but just go with it lol xx
