    I love how you are showing all the stages of your new house! so many youtubers buy a house and then dont show it until it is perfectly designed! It makes it seem so unattainable. I love how you are showing all the hard work that goes into making a home beautiful! Amazing! love ya Lyd

    Seriously, I could sit on your couch and look at the amazing view outside for hours!!! When you opened the doors the whole living room became alive😍 Also, I want to tell you how much I like the fact that you feel more comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera and you’re not afraid to show us the real, every day you❤️

    Hey Lydia! You and Carrie did an amazing job with all the IKEA pieces. I love the shoe storage situation. Very pleasing to the eye. Your house is just so gorgeous and when you opened the doors it was like looking onto a little piece of heaven. By the way you are looking beautiful and your skin looks great. You don’t know how lucky to have first of all, a gorgeous husband,second of all, such a neat and tidy one. Together you are the perfect mix. You seem to be quire enjoying your Thermomix. Might be checking that out and yes my jaws are hurting from the show Lucy and Ethel put on. You do know who they are I hope. Take care and c ya next time🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

    Going to IKEA is like going on a never ending adventure that you didn’t sign up for. I have to take a backpack with water and granola bars to recharge myself and also spare batteries in case I need to make contact with the outside world.😂 And I occasionally take a nap on one of the beds when the exploring tires me too much. 😂🤣

    If I could give you a tip for your new curtains, wash then without the spin in the washing machine or just on the lowest spin in the washing machine and then hang them up wet, believe me they will be beautifully straight. Learned this from my mom 😊 (sorry if my English is bad) greetings from Germany

    You should try the Decleor hydro floral rich cream for moisture. It’s so good, it works so well and every time you do your skin care it just smells like the spa.

    I’m sooo glad you uploaded today. One of my dear Co workers was found dead on her bathroom floor this morning. So gutted. Your happiness and smile has made me happy and feeling blessed. 💗
    I would paint and turn your office cabinets and move them into your dressing room. 😁

  • @dutches8384
    @dutches8384 6 років тому +6

    I saw you do you’re laundry. What I always do is hang dresses, nice tops, blouses etc on a hanger to dry. Not only go have less creases, it’s better for the shape and it takes a lot less space. Just hang the hangers on you’re drying reck (🤔 how do you say and spell that in English 😳) and hang you’re clothes like you do when you hang them in you’re closet. You will have to iron way less!! Lots of love, Esmeralda

    I freaking LOVE your backyard (garden) and deck with the flagstones! It doesn't even look real. I'm so jealous but also inspired. If you ever get bunnies in your yard, please, please show us. I grew up on the outskirts of Seattle and we used to randomly get rabbits in our yard, and the cuteness was nearly too much.

    You should go to savers and get the honey suckle and jasmin one it's £1 and smells amazing.. I use it in my washing and I use it as a fabric freshener too 😍👌 everyone always compliments me on the nice smell when they walk through my front door. The only washing I don't put it in with is my daughter's coz she's only 18months old and has sensitive skin but my 3 son's don't have a problem with it xx

    Please, please, please start using reusable cups for your starbucks. You always plan on getting the coffee so it's not even spontaneous. And you drive there and back which means you really just need to put them in your car, get your coffee and put them in the dishwasher when you get back. It makes such a huge difference & it's super easy to do.
