This was SO CUTE...Was I the only one who also got emotional when Keisha just turned up ??! It was like something out of a film. So cute. Hope you have the best bday Lily !
*Lily, I absolutely LOVE your vlogs! I genuinely look forward to them during the day! I love your style of vlogging and I also love your personality which shines through in your vlogs and I love how much more open you are in them! Also, I love long vlogs and I also love 'boring' vlogs (which are not boring at all) and I feel a lot of people do too, so please don't apologise for them! Also this vlog has joined my list of favourite vlogs ever and in fact your vlogmas day 1 and the last innocent smoothie vlog are also in there :) And last but definitely not least, it is absolutely amazing that you have so many close friends :)* *Happy happy birthday in advance :)*
Totally been loving your vlogmas - more interesting than the other versions of 'Im here, now Im here, now we have been doing that ...' but none of that is on camera... Well done and wow, every time I see Keisha Im so getting it why she is a model. So pretty!
Yep, used to have a Blockbusters card and rent VHS videos...makes me feel old but also a bit sad like the end of an era. What a great party and what lovely friends and sisters you have Lily xx
Oh my goodness, we had an egg a few weeks ago that was cracked and had feathers coming out of the crack. It was NOT like that when I checked the eggs at the grocery store! :o I have never been so grossed out, I felt so bad and was turned off of eggs for awhile LOL
Lily, this is a great recipe for a party. It always goes over well. Usually I wouldn't post this but I think you would enjoy them. one packet shrink wrapped Lil' cheese smokies (available at any supermarket) 3-4 cups brown sugar (or just enough to fully cover all the sausages) 1 lb. regular bacon Cut bacon and wrap around each sausage. (one strip of bacon should do 3 sausages) stretch bacon slightly with back of knife. place toothpick in each wrapped sausage. Cover with brown sugar and leave in fridge overnight. Remove from fridge and place in 350-375 oven (each oven varies, so you have to judge for yourself) for approx. 3/4 hour or until fully cooked (do not overcook as they will shrivel up and become too dry. Test halfway through cooking process.
You're so lucky to have such amazing friends. I'm very jealous. Looks like you had an amazing night! I'm really loving your vlogs, don't be afraid to make them this long every day. The longer the better in my book!
Lily, you are a star!!! Sorry this is not about the fab Vlog but you mentioned you read the comments on an evening and I wanted to say a big fat thank you! I have been looking for an effective clarifying shampoo and saw your review of the Phyto clarifying Detox Shampoo and it is amazing!!! My hair feels so soft and light and refreshed. It might seem an over reaction but I have low confidence issues and my hair is the one thing I like about myself but for the past 6 months it's been feeling awful. So thank you for putting up you review, it's made a difference to me. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas lovely Lily Love Emma xxx
Lily have you ever considered a straight hair perm? I used to have super poofy hair so I permed it straight, it lasts about half a year, and basically you shower, and your hair will naturally dry stick straight and silky. I have thick, wirey and frizzy hair and for the whole time of the perm, it will naturally dry straight with no frizz. It will definitely make your life easier! Happy birthday xx
This is what a birthday party should be!! Having fun with best friends, eating homemade food and hanging out in a comforting place! Not all that clubbing with loud music and drinking parties and finally getting mega drunk and puking everywhere. Love your vlogs! You have a amazing group of friends:)
Hey Lily. I have never commented on your videos, but I've watched you for some time now. You make me feel so comfy, because you and your home is so lovely. And you seem to be so sweet and caring. You are definitely very inspiring. Thank you for that!
This is probably your best vlog yet! It was absolutely lovely to watch you with all your friends. Happy birthday in advance and all the best, Lily! xxx
Happy Birthday Lily! I laughed at the flameless candles. My sister gifted me some of those for Christmas a few years ago. I was like "what the heck are these?!" But with a little one around they do come in quite handy.
I never reaaly comment youtube videos, but because I imagined the amount of work that goes into vlogmas, just wanted to say that are really gooooood, like one of the best
Happy Birthday, Lily! I really loved this vlog! I love intimate birthday parties with close family and friends! Things that I love about this vlog: the gold lip mark cup that Jemma got you, the gravalax, the cookies, the Christmas decor, your whole party set up, and Keisha's surprise turn up :-)
aww happy early birthday!! when i was younger our family would always go to a video rental shop on a friday/saturday night and spend ages picking out a film. SO GOOD!
I remember going to Blockbusters with my parents to pick a movie to watch at night when I was younger and it felt like a real treat! Especially when I could convince my mum to also get popcorn and chocolate :D
Happy happy birthday, Lily! :) I know it's an advance greeting but I just absolutely love this vlog. I love that the past few vlogs somehow made a teaser to this day (which I was completely looking forward to). I also love the editing of the party bit, as well as the music. It all felt very festive, organic, authentic, and completely heartfelt. I think the best part about vlogs is getting to know you so much better in various ways. Glad to know you had a great day!
I just watched Estee's Christmas Gift Guide video and she showed those mugs with the gold lip stains on them! I love them, wanna get some for myself xoxo Happy birthday!
You're doing so well with Vlogmas, Lily. It must be such hard work. Also thanks to your friends and family for being so welcoming and getting in on the Vlogs too! Happy Birthday when it comes! Xx
I'm from New Zealand and we still rent dvds here! What do you do instead? We've only just recently got Netflix here in NZ and have SKY TV which is similar to Netflix but other than (illegally lol) downloading movies and using Netflix etc, how else can you watch them?? I feel so out of the loop lol. Not all NZers are as naive as me by the way hehe
There was a thing on campbell live or some news programme about it lol. Im not sure if it's officially available to everyone yet but quite a few people have it already. It's super cheap too like NZ$30ish a month! :D
Im from NZ and when I moved to the UK this year i was really confused that they didnt have DVD rental shops haha! We are just a bit behind in little old NZ :) but its kind of nice tbh!
I used to rent videos and DVDs all the time and now it really does seem so weird! I do kind of miss the ritual of browsing the shelves though. Glad you had a great birthday party! I must say I am very much looking forward to that cookie recipe coming soon - they look delish.
I don't typically love watching Vlogs, but yours are fantastic! The way you edit and set them to music are so enjoyable to watch and creative. Glad you enjoyed your day, Happy Birthday from Los Angeles xx
Looks as if you had a wonderful party! I will commend you on how calm you were and I loved how you decorated the room! So cozy and holiday! Another great vlog!
re. the wrinkled egg; I googled and apparently it just means it;s from an old hen and you can eat them as normal. But it didn't say anything about the taste.
happy birthday, this gives me inspiration for my own. I always say I want something laid back so i'll definitely throw some cushions on the floor and we'll take it from there :)
Congratulations on your Birthday!!!!!!! I live in Mexico and we still have Blockbusters!! I use it sometimes.. I am lucky enough that it is right underneath my apartment!
This is my fav blog so far :) So much family and many friends coming together to help you celebrate a special day, love it!!! Happy late Birthday Lily. May God bless you with many many more :)
"I'm sorry I just need to know if they're poisonous or not" - lool that made me laugh! Also enjoying the vlogmas videos Lily, thank you for taking the time to do them :)
I love watching your vlogmas vlogs :) honestly i didn't think that it would beat any other vloggers but your my number one at this :D love it so much :)
Thought vlogmas would get really repetitive and boring but I love it! Your friends all look so lovely and aw such a cute video, happy early birthday lily!
That was one cool party, I like parties like that. Actually, this is the kind of parties we throw in my country when we celebrate birthdays, namesdays, new years eve, housewarming parties...

What a great party and what lovely friends and sisters you have Lily xx
I'm so pathetic and started crying when Keisha showed up. How lame. I'm going to blame it on lack of sleep. Hope you have a wonderful birthday, Lily!
***** Same ahah !
Oh my goodness, we had an egg a few weeks ago that was cracked and had feathers coming out of the crack. It was NOT like that when I checked the eggs at the grocery store! :o I have never been so grossed out, I felt so bad and was turned off of eggs for awhile LOL
This is my greatest fear with eggs!
I even had a little cry when Keisha walked in! Hope you had an amazing evening & have a lovely birthday! x
I’m rewatching this 5 years later and it just made me feel so nostalgic 🥺🥺❤️❤️

I'm NOT gonna say what that egg looks like
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I'm glad I'm not the only one with that thought
Hahahahha ... I'm glad I'm not the only one ...
I thought the same thing!!! Too funny!!
Nancy Haywire I immediately thought the same thing, especially that last angle
Oh my god!!!!!!!!! Hahahahhahahaha

"I like to call this tacky chic." Hahaha! That's awesome. The fake candles really do add nice warmth though! Your place looked great.
This is what a birthday party should be!! Having fun with best friends, eating homemade food and hanging out in a comforting place! Not all that clubbing with loud music and drinking parties and finally getting mega drunk and puking everywhere. Love your vlogs! You have a amazing group of friends:)
You're so lucky to have a nice group of friends :) my older sister recently moved to London and often seems lonely ,friends really are so special
I remember renting VHS videos and having to rewind them back to the start before returning them to the store, seems so strange now!
aw lily! felt so heartwarming watching this haha, reminds me of me and my friends. happy birthday! x
We still rent films from our local shop. We have a number that we say and Monday and Wednesday are 99p night! Xx

Yes I remember blockbusters! I used to get so stressed trying to pick a film; it would take me ages!!
Happy Birthday, Lily! I really loved this vlog! I love intimate birthday parties with close family and friends! Things that I love about this vlog: the gold lip mark cup that Jemma got you, the gravalax, the cookies, the Christmas decor, your whole party set up, and Keisha's surprise turn up :-)
Great day! Btw, Essie Button bought the same golden lip cup!
This birthday party looks incredible! Everyone is laughing and looks really comfortable.

Errrrgh the wrinkly egg! Has anyone cracked it open? Was it normal inside?
awh you have an awesome group of friends... very lucky!
I'm from New Zealand and we still rent dvds here! What do you do instead? We've only just recently got Netflix here in NZ and have SKY TV which is similar to Netflix but other than (illegally lol) downloading movies and using Netflix etc, how else can you watch them?? I feel so out of the loop lol. Not all NZers are as naive as me by the way hehe
It's out already?? Thought we were getting it next year?? And I was like what we rent DVDs still. Guess New Zealand is in the old ages aha
There was a thing on campbell live or some news programme about it lol. Im not sure if it's officially available to everyone yet but quite a few people have it already. It's super cheap too like NZ$30ish a month! :D
Im from NZ and when I moved to the UK this year i was really confused that they didnt have DVD rental shops haha! We are just a bit behind in little old NZ :) but its kind of nice tbh!

Lovely vlog Lily, you have such a good group of friends! Loved the relaxed feel to your party. Best wishes in advance for your birthday! X
I used to rent videos and DVDs all the time and now it really does seem so weird! I do kind of miss the ritual of browsing the shelves though.
Glad you had a great birthday party! I must say I am very much looking forward to that cookie recipe coming soon - they look delish.
Your party looks like it was so fun! Nice and chilled :) and the food that we saw looked incredible!
I don't typically love watching Vlogs, but yours are fantastic! The way you edit and set them to music are so enjoyable to watch and creative. Glad you enjoyed your day, Happy Birthday from Los Angeles xx
