    I just wanna say I'm a recovering drug addict and watching your videos is what gives me the daily strength and determination to not go back to drugs. I dream of havin a life like yours and seeing that life makes me wanna keep changing and staying a better person so I hopefully have what u have one day. Ur a true inspiration and my daily strength. Loads of love always xxxx

      Keep going, and take each day as it comes. I hope you get to a point where the cravings become a background noise rather than it being overwhelming. I know addiction is something you struggle with all your life, but I hope the strength you have that helped you quit and is allowing you to stay clean is always constant.

      Thank u so much for the comments it really has meant a lot. I'm so used to people havin a negative 'once a junkie always a junkie' attitude about and around me so it means a lot to hear nice words instead. I was on 200 pound crack a day and 50 heroin stopped Xmas Eve and ain't looked back. I not gonna pretend iv not wanted it and been close to giving up but seriously that's why I really hope Lydia sees my comment cos every time I get a craving or sit and think about the past I put one of her videos on and it spurs me on and really does motivate me. I owe her my life really however mad that may sound to some I really do feel that way xxxx

    I learned a while ago that the best way to get out of my own ego and sadness is to "get outside of myself" , check on someone else, be of service to someone else. It gives amazing perspective on your own life and issues and can give you a reprieve from obsessing over our problems and find the gratitude. ❤️

      Hi lovely ladies, I was so touched by this comment.
      As women I think most of us have been affected by another woman’s actions or words.
      When will we stop hurting our own gender and instead reflect on why we feel the need to hurt or put someone else down.
      I wish that one day all these nasty, vindictive women have an an epiphany and wake and realise that what they are really doing is projecting all their own self loathing onto others. Lydia you make me laugh, you are real and you brighten my day, you are what I strive to be.

    I had to pause this video half way through and post a comment!! I have never commented on a post on RUclips before but just had to reply to this. Firstly I have been watching Lydia for quite a few years now and absolutely feel that she has had an amazing effect not only myself but my 13 year old daughter. Lydia you are a breath of fresh air in our lives. I love the homemaker you are and how much of an elegant lady you are. You are very much a role model not only for the mature women but for our future little women. Take credit for you work every day and keep that beautiful positivity you ooze going. Just remember when life gives you lemons just flip it and make some of your revitalising tonic 😌 hope this makes you smile as much as you make us all smile. Sending much love and positive energy from a nurse who is truly washed out by this horrible time and totally looks forward to you vlogs. 🥰 EmmA xxxxx

    Dear Lydia, your videos have bought me a sense of comfort through the toughest times of my life. I came across your channel around the time I was going through a “friend divorce” 3 yrs ago, and recently when my young brother passed away. Watching your videos has given a depth and reality to someone who is only trying to share what makes them happy with no filter. I am happy you are keeping strong and always promoting kindness, courage and positivity. Thank you, you continue to inspire me and remind me that kindness is free and you should sprinkle it everywhere ❤️ to the haters, agony aunts out there remember that spreading unkindness and spiteful comments just makes you an enemy of progress, there is already so much happening in the world that needs your attention, expend your energies there assablief 🙏🏾

I know how horrible this disease can be but I hope that she is not aware of all her difficulties. Lots of love x

    Omg that puppy cuteness is what I needed to see today 🥰
    I can NOT fathom why people are so quick to go out of their way to criticize someone just because they are online... i am 99% sure that people would not do this face to face on the street if someone was wearing something they didn't like or were acting a way they didn't like...the anonymity gives people an excuse to be rude and aggressive and turn into bullies.

    Lydia, you read out my comment 19:33! (My internet had issues yesterday, so sorry for the late comment). I was crying the whole time listening to you read it out loud for everybody, and you naming me; I missed the stories you put on your IG, but I did see the horrible things some people would write in the comment section. I was so mad at these awful people that I just started typing as soon as you put up your video that day, then I watched after. It really was such an exasperating experience when I would finish one of your lovely videos, only to find negative nancies in the comments picking you apart over petty things. It is wrong, cyberbullying is wrong, always! These people always hide behind fake names and fake pics Lydia, they are beneath you, you are always winning! I wished that they would just unsubscribe, but this is your channel, never feel that you have to apologize for deleting comments that serve no purpose but causing angst, or for blocking anyone who keeps bringing negative energy, they are not welcome here. Sending you BIG warm hugs from Africa Lydia, you are LOVED, by so many of us, all around the world!

    Hey Lydia! I LOVE watching your videos - I only came across them the end of last year but have now caught up with every single one - watched them right from the start! They’ve kept me going during lockdown! I love how you continue to work on yourself to be the best version of you and how you find joy in so many things. And I appreciate how you’re always honest about hard times. You seem like the most genuine and kind hearted person, and I’m sorry you’ve been having a hard time recently with your Nona in hospital and dealing with online trolls on top of that! I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. I just hope you know, the majority of us are huge fans who enjoy your content thoroughly and wish you well in life. You’ve helped me more than you know - Thank you for being a friend to me.

    @jos5394 4 года назад +47

    I’ve been watching vlogs/RUclips videos for many years and have noticed how the comments section has changed. Back in 2009/10, there was no such thing as the term “influencer” - it was literally just someone who turned on a camera and shared their passions and interests. Nowadays, people hold influencers/content creators to impossible standards.
    It is seemingly not enough to share hobbies and passions - the person has to have impeccable morals, ethics, habits, personality traits, appearances, opinions...the list goes on. The issue is, what is considered ‘correct’ to one person could be questionable to another. It is fighting a losing battle. Of course, it is very important to be responsible and considerate with a large platform. But there is a difference between responsibility and angelic levels of perfection that no human being can possibly measure up to. I’m here to switch off with a cup of coffee, admire beautiful fashion and make ‘aw’ noises at the cat 😂 I don’t particularly want to be reading a thesis on the environmental impacts of tumble drying when I’m trying to chill out. I think it’s important to be mindful that content creators have a niche and specialism just like any other person with a job and they are not entitled to make a statement about every aspect of their lives.

You’re human and you don’t pretend to be fine when you’re not. My aunt has a rare disease that is similar to ALS and is currently in hospice. There is so much more that I am dealing with and it doesn’t make me lash out at others. Instead, I encourage and love on people more intentionally when I am hurting.

    To the woman who hasn’t been herself for a while
    Stay hopeful…
    That your spark will reignite soon.
    That this weight will heave itself from your tired shoulders, soon.
    That you’ll recognise the girl in the mirror again someday.
    Soon.
    Don’t let the fear rise up and engulf you in the middle of the night anymore. It’s not real. It’s a lie and it’s keeping you down.
    This will pass.
    You, you’re still in there.
    Hang on.
    The thing is, my friend. Life can be heavy, it can be draining and sometimes it can feel like you’re the only one getting it all wrong.
    You’re not.
    You really aren’t.
    Look around any room and I promise you everyone you see, has felt the same way before, or will someday in the future.
    And it will pass.
    You’ll be back.
    To the girl who hasn’t been herself for a while.
    Don’t worry.
    This is just a chapter not your whole story.
    Never believe otherwise.

    Top tip for spaniels.. you can get spaniel bowls that are cone shaped so their ears don’t dip into the water! X

    If you want to get a dog please consider a rescue! Lots of them are owner surrenders (they’re moving somewhere and cant have pets) they don’t all need experienced owners, just someone who is alright not having a puppy :)

    🙌Yes Jacqueline 🙌 - sums it all up perfectly. Lydia, we're here for you. I will never be at your level of having such a beautiful home and high end wardrobe but I love how you inspire us all. It reminds me when my mother-in-law said to me, 'don't fill your new house with tat'...so I have started to buy better quality items and the difference it makes is amazing...so I like to channel my 'inner Lydia'. Love your vlogs. Thank you 😍

Followed you for 6 years on Social Media and im so sorry at the horrific things people say to you. Its truly horrible. You dont deserve it ( no one does ) and I hope they pass a law to stop it from happening. I hope you feel like yourself again soon with care and support xxx

    Dear Lydia , my grandpa had Alzheimer. I know how you feel and how difficult is for a family to have a beloved member in such a sad condition.. i still have him in my mind and in my heart and i cry every time i talk about him even though he has almost 10 years he left us .. i have a box full of his memories cause he wanted to write draw and play with cotton when he was ill. I have his drawings his handwriting and his cotton "designs" in this box .. god bless all these people who are delaying with alzheimer. Sorry for my english i am from Greece ♥️

    I remember reading Jaquelines' comment, and thought then when she put, does anyone ask how Lydia is, what a very thoughtful thing to say, You have so many wonderful comments to your you tube blogs it's just a shame that the small minority has to lower the tone, your number of subscribers says what a wonderful person you are.
    Bolly is a complete snuggle fest, it's true, he brings out the best in you, so, so cute,
    And I remember Nice Biscuits 😊 too xx

    I love to see how caring you are of the people and things around you. You treat Ali so well, and lumi seems to have the best pet-mom ever. If you and Ali ever decide (or are able) to have kids I think you will be an amazing mom. It seems that it's is simply impossible for you to not give love and care to those around you. Love your channel!

    Hi Lydia, I’ve watched your Channel for a few years now and I adore your content. Your full of positivity and love and it definitely shines through, just watching this video, and when you were speaking of your Nonna, I’m assuming through your words that your Nonna has some form of Alzheimer’s or dementia, if this isn’t the case I apologise, but I work in the care industry and care
    For those who suffer from the above diseases and I do understand how challenging it must be for you all to see someone you love not recognise you, although she does not have any recollection of who you are, know that somewhere in her mind there is a small part of her that will always love you and your family. I think I’ve waffled on for long enough now, but remember one thing, ‘you are loved by so many people, and we as a community are always here with you and support you through everything, every time you laugh we laugh, every time you cry we cry’ have a beautiful day 💖💖
