Louise: *says she never really learned anything from her time at uni studying developmental psychology* Also Louise: *gives a really lengthy, eloquent and overall fantastic answer when discussing the psychology of children relating to them using social media*
An ageing tattoo is a beautiful sign and mark of the journeys that life takes you on, just like wrinkles and smile lines! You really do only live once!
*says she didn’t benefit from a psychology or evolutionary biology degree* *talks about the process of cognitive development in children* I think maybe you did, Louise! 🤣
Tattoo answer. I have many tattoos. I have a half sleeve and I am plus sized. I honestly am not concerned about what they will look like when i am old. I'm to busy enjoying my body now.
Omg a Louise children's clothing line would be amazing!!!!!! Darcy & Pearl always look so beautifully whimsical 😍😍😍 Editing because I couldn't not.... SPRINKLE OF RAISINS! 😂😂😂 I think this made me laugh alot more than it probably should have. Really tickled my funny spot 😂😂
I'm nearing 20 years of age and didn't have any social media presence until 12-13. And I still think I was cringy and awful and regret some things still. I agree so much with your opinion on it! Also, would love the other half xx
In my opinion......when your children are with you all the time and not of an age to go out without adult supervision there is no need for a phone of their own .
I am a tattooed gal. I have stars on my back that I got each time I went through something hard and survived. I also got one on my ankle for my brother and sister and I. I also have one on my ribs that says remember love. (It's to remember to love myself). And the last one is a wedding ring tattoo. I think a tattoo should be very personal. Even if you fall out of love with in your case, Disney, at a time you still loved it and it's a memory. As far as tattoo aging. I see it like stretch marks after pregnancy. I've battled life and earn the art on my body temple. Even if it looks poorly, I will still remember why I got it and the feeling.
I just appreciate you being so honest and transparent. You are one of my favorite moms on UA-cam to watch because you just keep it real and show some of the bad as well as the good. It's just so encouraging to me, as a parent to see that I'm not alone on this crazy journey lol
Maybe your Final Cut Pro preferences are set to 'keep files in place' instead of 'copy to library'? In that case you'll have to keep the hard drive with the original files connected while you're editing! You can also try to use the 'relink files' option where you locate the original files. Hope this helps if you didn't know this yet! ❤️
I’m 20 now and started social media when I was 13 and looking back I could have definitely waited another few years to get any accounts. I think by 15/16 my peers were targeted or even bullied for not having any so I may have wanted it at that age but I could have waited until then!
I agree too. My eldest daughter didnt have a phone until she started secondary school at 11 yrs old. It was mainly so I could keep in contact with her if she was late home etc but if she hadnt changed school I would have held out as long as possible. Id love another Q&A. 💕
Q&A Part 2 for sure! Also I love your chatty videos and vlogs, so please way more of those especially about having hope, keeping faith, dealing with insecurities, body confidence, self love, finding love and all of these kind of life topics! Your wisdom and delivery is just SO calming& reassuring! Lots of love! ♥️
Thoughts on tattoos: I’m 21 and got my very first tattoo in June. I’d never been that bothered about then but then I took on the biggest adventure of my life and moved to Orlando Florida to work in Disney World for a year as a uni placement. I knew it was something I would want to remember forever and be a permanent part of my life, and what’s more permanent than a tattoo? So now on my upper thigh I have a moon and three stars, taken from the design on sorcerer Mickey’s hat. It’s not an obvious Disney tattoo but that’s because it means so much more to me than just ‘disney’ (I.e. moving away from home, family, friends, some of the most amazing and hardest times of my life) and yet it’s a great symbol to remember my times working at Fantasmic and seeing sorcerer Mickey at the top of the mountain every night. Even if I don’t like the design in 10 years, it will remind me of the most amazing time of my life and all I had achieved and that’s not something I ever want to forget ♥️
Would love another part to this, I'm feeling really ill and my anxiety is really high from it but videos like this are the perfect remedy to help calm me down x
I feel the same way. I was having a lot of stress when I first discovered Louise almost a year ago and I found her voice so soothing and her funny, kind and loving personality so refreshing. I watched every you tube video available for days and when I finished, I had a much better insight on life and I felt safe again. Now I check daily for new ones. She is a natural healer.
Georgia Nightingale Hi Georgia, sorry you are not feeling well, I hope you feel a bit better soon. I have been unwell recently and am just coming out of it now so please have hope. Look after yourself xxx
I completely agree with you about Darcie being too young for a phone and social media. I have an 8 year old daughter who keeps asking for a phone and I keep saying she is too young for one. She doesn't agree and doesn't fully understand the negative impact social medias can have on people xx
loved this was nice too have a sitty down video,you could bring out your own laundry containers or good egg merch like stationary with ''good egg'' written on or more of your quotes on stationary,cushions,candles or prints etc xx
I loved this video and I’d love to see the second half of the Q&A on here. I’d also love to see you tackle some more challenging topics. Always love watching your videos, Louise!
Hearing you say that even now you get nervous when you begin doing a video makes me feel a lot better , as I’m starting out with the filming and sometimes , I just feel like I can’t do it!! But once I get going I’m ok. Loving the pink hair, I had been thinking of doing mine pink this week, mine never lasts very long though . Good to see you back 😊
Same! I hadn't filmed a video in a couple of months and felt so nervous filming again at the weekend! It's really comforting to know others feel the same.
First thing i thought when I clicked: “wow she’s GLOWING” You look so healthy and happy, this summer has clearly done you good. Hope the breaks were wonderful xxx
I love that hair colour on you Louise, you look stunning ❤️ also I've always thought if you ever did merch that stationery would be quite cool, cute pencils or note pads/journals would be so sweet.
I'd still really love to hear your thoughts on the WW Kurbo app for children. Although I know it may be hard for you to discuss freely as you're in a contract with them ☺️
Such a lovely video Louise 💗 myself and my mum were listening to your podcast appearance on Katie Pipers Extraordinary People (I had already listened when it first came out but mum is new to the world of podcasts!) and honestly you can totally notice your degree in the way that you come across both in your videos and on that podcast. We both said so many times how you seem to understand and show empathy to situations, even ones that could firstly be negative. You show so much kindness and empathy and come across as being so fair. Refreshing to listen to, lots of love x
I had my tattoo at 20, and it’s a small flower, around the size of my thumb, right up high on my thigh, imagine it falling across the line where your pants would be. I never really thought about what it would look like in many years, I just made sure it was somewhere where I could cover it up should I want to. Maybe something to consider, so you can show it off or hide it as you wish 😊 Ps. Love the Q&As, I’d happily sit and watch them all day
Tattoo answer. I am 30 years old. I work in a very professional government setting, in the US. I have 2 full sleeves, both my sides, and many others. I cover mine up when working, personal choice. I don't mind that people are aware I have them. I don't care that they will change as I age. I have had my first sleeve for 12 years. It's apart of who I am. In regards to my other tattoos, do I still love them like I did. Short answer, No. But I love the woman I am becoming. They represent my story, it shows my growth. I still get tattoos. I love them. I'm proud of where I have been, and they are reminders of what I use to be like.
Hello, tattoos! They do fade. They go blue with age and look less intense, they’ll always be there but less intensely so. Honestly, old people’s tattoos look brilliant! And I think you’ll always remember a happy part in your life or a part that you needed your saying within and it becomes part of your “tapestry” and life story. Mine are only 3 years at the oldest currently but I still love them ☺️ I really enjoy them
Wow, I randomly put this video while I am packing up to move away from home, my parents home to my own home, and I walked back into my bedroom when the question came up about anyone going through a major life change. Thank you Louise, today was the first time I think this move has hit me and I leave in 3 days! But have been planning this since February. I was getting nervous and your words really made me feel great and even though I am nervous this experience will make me feel stronger and is the best thing for me. Love you! Been watching you since 2012 and you always seem to know what to say when I am going through life changes! ❤
Louise you’re such an inspiration! I’m expecting my first baby and I’m SO nervous! Rewatching all of your baby videos! I have been watching you since you were pregnant with Darcy! 💖
Chatty sit-down videos are my favourite, they're the ones where I feel like I get the most Louise-Ness and giggle like a drain. When you were talking about what your merch would be, I was so thinking cats! 😻 Would love a second Q&A or any other sit down video 😊💞
Louise. Pentland. Your answer to why Darcy won’t have social media was so eloquently stated and completely summed up everything I’ve thought of as a parent in the most cohesive yet thoughtful way ..just... bravo. 👏🏻
You are my favorite, Louise! I hope you will always be somewhere where I can hear what you have to say and see how your life is. I’m an ocean away and I’m a middle-aged lady of 48, with two grown children but I look so forward to your vids. I am sorry you second-guess what you offer here because I’m happy for any and all you want to share. It is always good because it’s always you and it’s always your heart and passions. Keep up the wonderful work you do!! 💕💕💕
I work in a care home and sometimes we get residents that have tattoos. We find it amazing because you can learn so much about someone by what they felt important enough to put on their body. We had a guy recently in his 70s who was covered in tattoos and he couldn’t speak anymore but his body told his life story which was so amazing x
Love your videos Louise! On the tattoo note, I think a nice way to look at it is not about how they will look when you're older because to be honest I think as an 80 year old you won't be too concerned with how you look, but instead look at it as a snapshot of a time when you were a young Mum and you took your kids to Disneyland and you have amazing memories of that, and a tattoo to mark that time in your life. That's how I like to think of tattoos anyway, if they are significant you will never regret them. xx
Love the Q&A Louise, please do part two, we'd all enjoy that! BTW I am always so impressed with Darcy's intelligence and good manners in your videos, she's turning into such a great little person! You must be very proud.
Just love watching all your videos, the calmest point in my day with my two babies is first thing in the morning so while we are having cuddles and some wake up time I really love watching you Louise. All your videos are amazing but really love when you do a sit down as it makes me feel like I'm sitting down with a friend without sounding to weird. all the best to you and the family hope your doing well. xx
Hi Louise, I just wanna say you’re such a role model for me and I am young(21) but have already made some decisions for myself that has lead up to a very hard time right now. You’re videos make my day and I can only wish that I can one day live a lush life of my own with beautiful children and home. You are a wonderful person and all of your stories touch me and I wish nothing but goodness and joy for you and your family. (Also im so happy your hair is pink again! You inspired my own hair do!)
Please please follow through with all your video ideas....you always blow the videos outta the water ... and as a mama of two in my early thirty’s ... you and your vids are so relatable to my life and momlife .... so never stop doing you!!!
Thank you for the kind words as always, Louise. As someone also going though a very tough life change, your positivity and strength are just so wonderful and help bring me up from 'helpless' to 'empowered.' Thank you for the little rays of hope and the reminder to be kind to yourself.
So glad to hear your opinion on Darcy and social media! I teach year 3 and the amount of children that talk about social media is scary. I completely agree that they're not emotionally prepared for it x
Hi! I love listening to you chatting 😄 you make me feel happy when im feeling low also the UK has been very hot today! Also loving the hair! Also, according to my phone i am 1st :)
I have numerous tattoos at 22, and I considered the ‘old’ thing, but life is far too short and who knows if I’ll ever make it that far! Like you said, don’t sweat the small stuff and do what makes you happy!
I’d love to see a Louise and Lenor collaboration. I’m only 18 but I absolutely love the laundry segment and helping my mum out with the laundry. Ruby Jasmine is my personal favorite fabric softener
Happy for a part 2! Haven't been able to keep up with your vlogs much these days but love a shorter vid and especially a little QnA! Enjoy catching up with you!
My opinion on what tattoos will look like when you grow old, is basically that you’ll look wrinkly and a bit odd anyway so why not have a few decorations to look at that may remind you of important parts of your life. Especially if you become forgetful or have lost things that were once special to you, you’ll always have those reminders ☺️ Love this video Louise, Its so nice to see more stripped back chatty videos, makes me miss old school UA-cam! 💕
Love videos like this Louise!! Also I watched the entire video just paying attention to it & didn’t even realise how long it was till you mentioned! I have a feeling lots of people love the long rambling videos 💛
Thought I'd put in my two cents on the social media topic with a rare positive story. I grew up in a very conservative, small town (I lived in Alabama, in the US) and I'm bi, and I never felt safe or secure enough to tell anyone in my family or any friends I had at the time. But I got a Facebook and Tumblr when I was ~9 or 10 and using Tumblr growing up was life-changing for me. The ability to anonymously ask questions and discover new, different people and perspectives on sexuality through social media really helped me broaden my worldview and learn that who I was, was ok. Yes, social media can be toxic, but it can also be beautiful and sometimes a much-needed source of freedom and anonymity for kids who feel like they can't share certain things with their parents, etc. :)
God I love you! I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos for years and just love how real and loveable you are! Don’t ever feel down or bad about yourself, you are fabulous! 😘
You are amazing! You give me so much advice because I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter! Please please do a video about mother guilt, I struggle with that so much and I’m sure a ton of others would benefit fro knowing they are not alone! Love you and your videos!!!!!!!
I’ve been so busy recently and haven’t really been watching UA-cam so have missed out on all the recent vlogs and they seem lively when I just want to sit down and chill but oh my golly gosh I love sit down videos and really enjoyed this one! 🧡🌸
Louise i don’t know what took me so long but I’ve just finished Wilde Like Me, (it was a true work of art) and I have immediately bought Wilde about the girl. It’s fair to say I won’t leave it this long again to read a book you release!! I can’t wait to see what the next two book have in store!
I remember when you got your Doona bug and you recommended it so highly and because of you I got one recently after having my first baby . You weren’t lying . It is an absolute life saver and I love it so so much! Thank you for the recommendation ! 🤗❤️
I enjoyed this Q & A a lot. Your views on child social media and cognitive development are spot on (in my opinion). We have seen how you have matured through the years and it’s good to sit with you in (semi) serious mode. Another Q&A please. BTW - well done Savannah. Please keep the Q&A to You Tube.
Love your chatty videos! I start my masters in a few weeks (ecology and evolutionary biology, very excited!) and I’ll definitely be using your videos for mood boosting chill time like I did all through my undergrad degree ☺️☺️
Hi Louise ! Omg loving the hair , it is so so pretty :-) You never need to feel nervous to film in front of us , we love all your vides , you are amazing and , as you say , you are absolutely amazing ! Also love your pearl hairband! Xx Keep smiling 💋😘❤️
When you started talking about embarrassing moments all I could think of was your embarrassing stories video with Mr. Dan and I couldn't stop lololololing
The way I look at it, tattoos are a generational thing. I currently have a leg sleeve and a small flower tattoo on my ribs. When I am in my 80s everyone else in my generation will look the same because we will all be covered in tattoos. Live for the moment and if you want something get it! Love you Louise. You make every day brighter! 💝
Louise: *says she never really learned anything from her time at uni studying developmental psychology*
Also Louise: *gives a really lengthy, eloquent and overall fantastic answer when discussing the psychology of children relating to them using social media*
An ageing tattoo is a beautiful sign and mark of the journeys that life takes you on, just like wrinkles and smile lines! You really do only live once!
You should have your own laundry conditioner scent line... maybe with Lenor?
JessicaAmy145 yess😂😂
Yes, I was thinking that!
Yeeessss! But not Lenor, something cruelty free 😉
Ideally, but Lenor is the brand Louise uses most often so it wouldn't make sense to go with another...
Or Method, her own antibac fragrance 😂
Bring back Louise Pentland Storytime! 😁
Another embarrasing stories video collab with Dan perhaps?
I was thinking this too!
YES videos with dan!!!!
YES YES YES
Yes!!
Yes yes yes yes
Louise: No, I don’t think I’ve used any of my academics in real life
Also Louise: Talks about cognitive development in regards to social media
😂
yesss
Loved this! Could you do Q&A’s more often? Love you
Yes! I'm never sure if they're boring or fun but if you all like them then YES! A lovely indulgent video for me to film haha! xxx
From the thumbnail I thought that this is an old video of you but then I saw that it was uploaded 16 minutes ago 😅 it’s the hair!
JustLisa me too!!
Me too!
*says she didn’t benefit from a psychology or evolutionary biology degree*
*talks about the process of cognitive development in children*
I think maybe you did, Louise! 🤣
Tattoo answer. I have many tattoos. I have a half sleeve and I am plus sized. I honestly am not concerned about what they will look like when i am old. I'm to busy enjoying my body now.
Sarah Everidge when we’re old it’ll be so normal to have tattoos. Why worry about something so trivial that’s so long from now?
Sarah Everidge our bodies are not gonna look all that great when we’re old either way 😆
3 seconds in and i have to say YOUR HAIR IS SO PERFECT !
Omg a Louise children's clothing line would be amazing!!!!!! Darcy & Pearl always look so beautifully whimsical 😍😍😍
Editing because I couldn't not.... SPRINKLE OF RAISINS! 😂😂😂 I think this made me laugh alot more than it probably should have. Really tickled my funny spot 😂😂
Skirts! If you do a merch, make skirts and dresses for all sizes, please
I'd love skirts and dresses! You have such a great style. 💜
with POCKETS!
With pockets!!!
Yes ! Skirts with pockets xxx
SKIRTS WITH POCKETS !!!!!
you’re such an amazing role model louise, not just for your own children but also for me as a 21 year old 😁 i appreciate you so much 💓
I'm nearing 20 years of age and didn't have any social media presence until 12-13. And I still think I was cringy and awful and regret some things still. I agree so much with your opinion on it! Also, would love the other half xx
Love the Q&As!! Always happy to see more. It feels like chatting to a friend ☺️
One more q & a please!!!❤️😊
In my opinion......when your children are with you all the time and not of an age to go out without adult supervision there is no need for a phone of their own .
I am a tattooed gal. I have stars on my back that I got each time I went through something hard and survived. I also got one on my ankle for my brother and sister and I.

Savannah hope your ok time does pass and things get easier and it will make you stronger. Louise is right treat yourself because your worth it 💖
Maybe your Final Cut Pro preferences are set to 'keep files in place' instead of 'copy to library'? In that case you'll have to keep the hard drive with the original files connected while you're editing! You can also try to use the 'relink files' option where you locate the original files. Hope this helps if you didn't know this yet! ❤️
Totally agree with you re: Darcy and social media, I teach teenagers and they're definitely NOT ready for it 😂
I teach teenagers too and the amount of upset over social media shocks me, so yeah, I agree, 7/8 is way too young
I’m 20 now and started social media when I was 13 and looking back I could have definitely waited another few years to get any accounts. I think by 15/16 my peers were targeted or even bullied for not having any so I may have wanted it at that age but I could have waited until then!
I agree too. My eldest daughter didnt have a phone until she started secondary school at 11 yrs old. It was mainly so I could keep in contact with her if she was late home etc but if she hadnt changed school I would have held out as long as possible. Id love another Q&A. 💕
Q&A Part 2 for sure! Also I love your chatty videos and vlogs, so please way more of those especially about having hope, keeping faith, dealing with insecurities, body confidence, self love, finding love and all of these kind of life topics! Your wisdom and delivery is just SO calming& reassuring! Lots of love! ♥️
I could sit and listen to you speak all day long Louise! A follow up Q&A would be wonderful 😊
"My Life Goal is to live" is actually the most beautiful answer!
Thoughts on tattoos: I’m 21 and got my very first tattoo in June. I’d never been that bothered about then but then I took on the biggest adventure of my life and moved to Orlando Florida to work in Disney World for a year as a uni placement.

So now on my upper thigh I have a moon and three stars, taken from the design on sorcerer Mickey’s hat. It’s not an obvious Disney tattoo but that’s because it means so much more to me than just ‘disney’ (I.e. moving away from home, family, friends, some of the most amazing and hardest times of my life) and yet it’s a great symbol to remember my times working at Fantasmic and seeing sorcerer Mickey at the top of the mountain every night. Even if I don’t like the design in 10 years, it will remind me of the most amazing time of my life and all I had achieved and that’s not something I ever want to forget ♥️
Would love another part to this, I'm feeling really ill and my anxiety is really high from it but videos like this are the perfect remedy to help calm me down x

I completely agree with you about Darcie being too young for a phone and social media. I have an 8 year old daughter who keeps asking for a phone and I keep saying she is too young for one. She doesn't agree and doesn't fully understand the negative impact social medias can have on people xx
It's our job to love and protect them
loved this was nice too have a sitty down video,you could bring out your own laundry containers or good egg merch like stationary with ''good egg'' written on or more of your quotes on stationary,cushions,candles or prints etc xx
Yess like 'it's a wonderful day to achieve all your dreams'
I loved this video and I’d love to see the second half of the Q&A on here. I’d also love to see you tackle some more challenging topics. Always love watching your videos, Louise!
Please do the second half of the questions, loved that video. Glad to see you back doing sit down videos. Lots of love xx
Hearing you say that even now you get nervous when you begin doing a video makes me feel a lot better , as I’m starting out with the filming and sometimes , I just feel like I can’t do it!! But once I get going I’m ok.
Loving the pink hair, I had been thinking of doing mine pink this week, mine never lasts very long though .
Good to see you back 😊
Same! I hadn't filmed a video in a couple of months and felt so nervous filming again at the weekend! It's really comforting to know others feel the same.
Yes! Definitely do another Q&A! I love these long chatty catch-up videos!😊
First thing i thought when I clicked: “wow she’s GLOWING”
You look so healthy and happy, this summer has clearly done you good. Hope the breaks were wonderful xxx
I LOVE YOUR HAIR. I loved it blond too but WOW THE PINK SUITS YOU!
I would love a video on mommy guilt. I think it’s a common feeling among mothers that should be discussed more!
I love that hair colour on you Louise, you look stunning ❤️ also I've always thought if you ever did merch that stationery would be quite cool, cute pencils or note pads/journals would be so sweet.
I'd still really love to hear your thoughts on the WW Kurbo app for children. Although I know it may be hard for you to discuss freely as you're in a contract with them ☺️
I listen to spa music all the time!! It really helps at work, it doesn’t distract me with lyrics but it centres and focuses me for the task at hand.
I love a good Q and A 😁 And your hair is amazing!
Best of luck to savannah, and huge congratulations to Samantha and Gabriel!
Such a lovely video Louise 💗 myself and my mum were listening to your podcast appearance on Katie Pipers Extraordinary People (I had already listened when it first came out but mum is new to the world of podcasts!) and honestly you can totally notice your degree in the way that you come across both in your videos and on that podcast.

You are rocking the pink hair Louise yesss! I really appreciated a Q&A from you as you're refreshingly honest 💕
Louise. Pentland. Your answer to why Darcy won’t have social media was so eloquently stated and completely summed up everything I’ve thought of as a parent in the most cohesive yet thoughtful way ..just... bravo. 👏🏻
You are my favorite, Louise! I hope you will always be somewhere where I can hear what you have to say and see how your life is. I’m an ocean away and I’m a middle-aged lady of 48, with two grown children but I look so forward to your vids. I am sorry you second-guess what you offer here because I’m happy for any and all you want to share. It is always good because it’s always you and it’s always your heart and passions. Keep up the wonderful work you do!! 💕💕💕
You've got this, Savannah!!! It really will pass. Just give yourself the room to deal with all the complex emotions and be kind to yourself
put the second video here on youtube! Thoroughly enjoyed this one and found a lot of your advice helpful :)
I totally agree with you Louise on Darcy being too young😃xx
I work in a care home and sometimes we get residents that have tattoos. We find it amazing because you can learn so much about someone by what they felt important enough to put on their body. We had a guy recently in his 70s who was covered in tattoos and he couldn’t speak anymore but his body told his life story which was so amazing x
Loved this!! Please do the other half and more chit chatty videos like this, they’re my favourite!
Love your videos Louise! On the tattoo note, I think a nice way to look at it is not about how they will look when you're older because to be honest I think as an 80 year old you won't be too concerned with how you look, but instead look at it as a snapshot of a time when you were a young Mum and you took your kids to Disneyland and you have amazing memories of that, and a tattoo to mark that time in your life. That's how I like to think of tattoos anyway, if they are significant you will never regret them. xx
Love the Q&A Louise, please do part two, we'd all enjoy that! BTW I am always so impressed with Darcy's intelligence and good manners in your videos, she's turning into such a great little person! You must be very proud.
Just love watching all your videos, the calmest point in my day with my two babies is first thing in the morning so while we are having cuddles and some wake up time I really love watching you Louise. All your videos are amazing but really love when you do a sit down as it makes me feel like I'm sitting down with a friend without sounding to weird. all the best to you and the family hope your doing well. xx
Hi Louise,
I just wanna say you’re such a role model for me and I am young(21) but have already made some decisions for myself that has lead up to a very hard time right now. You’re videos make my day and I can only wish that I can one day live a lush life of my own with beautiful children and home. You are a wonderful person and all of your stories touch me and I wish nothing but goodness and joy for you and your family. (Also im so happy your hair is pink again! You inspired my own hair do!)
Please please follow through with all your video ideas....you always blow the videos outta the water ... and as a mama of two in my early thirty’s ... you and your vids are so relatable to my life and momlife .... so never stop doing you!!!
You’re such an amazing mother!! Was so inspired by your thoughts on your daughters having social media :)
Please bring back story times!!! Absolutely loved them! :)
Loved this Louise, would love to see another Q & A, love the sit down chatty vids!💕xx
It's always comforting that you continually start videos with that jingle. love you.
Louise, your hair looks SO beautiful! 💛
Thank you for the kind words as always, Louise. As someone also going though a very tough life change, your positivity and strength are just so wonderful and help bring me up from 'helpless' to 'empowered.' Thank you for the little rays of hope and the reminder to be kind to yourself.
To be fair I feel like our community is into
cleaning products, sooo wash powder merch 🤣🤣
That would be amazing!! Or pink washing machines haha xxxx
That would be amazing! 💜
So glad to hear your opinion on Darcy and social media! I teach year 3 and the amount of children that talk about social media is scary. I completely agree that they're not emotionally prepared for it x
More! Please do another! I’ve missed the sit down chats.
So happy the pink hair is back 😍 you should do more embarrassing stories like you did a few years ago I loved them x
Hi! I love listening to you chatting 😄 you make me feel happy when im feeling low also the UK has been very hot today! Also loving the hair!
Also, according to my phone i am 1st :)
Love these sit-down, chatty videos. Would have happily kept watching for another 20 minutes so definitely keen for a Part 2!
I have numerous tattoos at 22, and I considered the ‘old’ thing, but life is far too short and who knows if I’ll ever make it that far! Like you said, don’t sweat the small stuff and do what makes you happy!
I’d love to see a Louise and Lenor collaboration. I’m only 18 but I absolutely love the laundry segment and helping my mum out with the laundry. Ruby Jasmine is my personal favorite fabric softener
the pink hair is stunningggg!💓💓 also I’ve just finished Wilde Women and omg it was gorgeous x
Thank you!! I loved writing it so love to hear people enjoyed reading it xxx
I have a lot of tattoos. Around 26. My advice is start with a small memorial for your Mum first. I have 5 for my Grandparents.
Happy for a part 2! Haven't been able to keep up with your vlogs much these days but love a shorter vid and especially a little QnA! Enjoy catching up with you!
My opinion on what tattoos will look like when you grow old, is basically that you’ll look wrinkly and a bit odd anyway so why not have a few decorations to look at that may remind you of important parts of your life. Especially if you become forgetful or have lost things that were once special to you, you’ll always have those reminders ☺️ Love this video Louise, Its so nice to see more stripped back chatty videos, makes me miss old school UA-cam! 💕
Love videos like this Louise!! Also I watched the entire video just paying attention to it & didn’t even realise how long it was till you mentioned! I have a feeling lots of people love the long rambling videos 💛
Thought I'd put in my two cents on the social media topic with a rare positive story. I grew up in a very conservative, small town (I lived in Alabama, in the US) and I'm bi, and I never felt safe or secure enough to tell anyone in my family or any friends I had at the time. But I got a Facebook and Tumblr when I was ~9 or 10 and using Tumblr growing up was life-changing for me. The ability to anonymously ask questions and discover new, different people and perspectives on sexuality through social media really helped me broaden my worldview and learn that who I was, was ok. Yes, social media can be toxic, but it can also be beautiful and sometimes a much-needed source of freedom and anonymity for kids who feel like they can't share certain things with their parents, etc. :)
God I love you! I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos for years and just love how real and loveable you are! Don’t ever feel down or bad about yourself, you are fabulous! 😘
You are amazing! You give me so much advice because I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter! Please please do a video about mother guilt, I struggle with that so much and I’m sure a ton of others would benefit fro knowing they are not alone! Love you and your videos!!!!!!!
17:28 you’re telling me you hold up chickens to teach pearl words 😂😂
Definitely more Q&A on UA-cam!! I could listen to you for hours😂❤️
I’ve been so busy recently and haven’t really been watching UA-cam so have missed out on all the recent vlogs and they seem lively when I just want to sit down and chill but oh my golly gosh I love sit down videos and really enjoyed this one! 🧡🌸
Honestly, I am never going to skip any of your videos. I’ve been around for quite some time now. 😂💕 Love you!
Louise i don’t know what took me so long but I’ve just finished Wilde Like Me, (it was a true work of art) and I have immediately bought Wilde about the girl. It’s fair to say I won’t leave it this long again to read a book you release!! I can’t wait to see what the next two book have in store!
I remember when you got your Doona bug and you recommended it so highly and because of you I got one recently after having my first baby . You weren’t lying . It is an absolute life saver and I love it so so much! Thank you for the recommendation ! 🤗❤️
I enjoyed this Q & A a lot. Your views on child social media and cognitive development are spot on (in my opinion). We have seen how you have matured through the years and it’s good to sit with you in (semi) serious mode. Another Q&A please. BTW - well done Savannah. Please keep the Q&A to You Tube.
Love your chatty videos! I start my masters in a few weeks (ecology and evolutionary biology, very excited!) and I’ll definitely be using your videos for mood boosting chill time like I did all through my undergrad degree ☺️☺️
Oh, my goodness, I am obsessed by spa music atm. I would also recommend streaming reiki music 💫
Your talk about Darcy and social media was so enlightening and well spoken. You're an amazing mum! xx
Would love a part 2 wherever you decide to post, but then again, I love all your content so I'll be watching anyway!!
Hi Louise !
Omg loving the hair , it is so so pretty :-)
You never need to feel nervous to film in front of us , we love all your vides , you are amazing and , as you say , you are absolutely amazing !
Also love your pearl hairband! Xx
Keep smiling 💋😘❤️
When you started talking about embarrassing moments all I could think of was your embarrassing stories video with Mr. Dan and I couldn't stop lololololing
The way I look at it, tattoos are a generational thing. I currently have a leg sleeve and a small flower tattoo on my ribs. When I am in my 80s everyone else in my generation will look the same because we will all be covered in tattoos. Live for the moment and if you want something get it! Love you Louise. You make every day brighter! 💝
