Thank you for sharing your feelings. I lost both of my parents in my early twenties, I am now in my fifties. The holiday season is difficult. It is a good reminder to be grateful for what you currently have and not compare yourself to others.❤
Hi Laura, I have similar feelings always around this time of year..feelings of being low and lonely..I also wait until quite late on in December to put up my tree as I always remember the memories of my little sister.Sending lots of love and understanding xx❤
Nothing wrong with those thoughts we all have been there being grateful every day is good thing I m very spiritual and do this every day too its good for the soul .don't ever change who you are Laura we love ❤ you x
Laura, never stop being "you" it is what makes you so genuine and authentic. The fact you trust us, your supporters, with such intimate feelings, makes me feel quite humble and I just want to give you a comforting virtual hug! I am certain Christmas will be as lovely as you hope it will, with Tom and all your gorgeous family around you, plus you will be the perfect host. Just keep on as you are and I wish you every happiness! God bless you. 😊❤❤
Hi Laura My Dad is in hospital at the moment and his mental health has been low prior, bur is at an all time low now which has made me realise more than ever that the turkey, trimmings, gifts and decorations don’t count, it’s just about being together and having our health. Your message is so right, being you and what you want to do for Christmas is all that counts. Seeing people you follow addressing real life is a breath of fresh air. Keep being your wonderful real self 😊
Laura sweettie you are one of the most authentic people on these platforms .. and it shines thru time after time . Don’t get upset about getting sucked into everything and rise above it all .. And remember that you actually realised where others don’t . Kept those dear close to you . Always so enjoy watching . Inspired to try a wee bit of card decorating even might try a bit of baking . Take care x
Hi Laura I agree with you and there is always someone worse off which is very very true. We should always be grateful for what we have family, friends and partners etc., great vlog thank you 🥰😊
You are lovely. I love that you take us to the shops and show us around. Never feel like you need to buy. You and your mom are two peas in a pod. You got GOOD Genes and PJs 😂. Hope you enjoyed your gathering. Merry Christmas 🎄🤶🏻🎄☃️
Laura what a lovely vlog. The perfect mix of festive fun whilst being relatable when we all have these moments of self doubt. We are lucky you feel able to share your feelings with us. Big hugs and wishing you a wonderful festive season and 2025 ❤
Laura the hampers are so nice of you esp with all the things influencers get,to give back at anytime of year is so kind.Looks like you had good time at polene and Bicester! 😊
Please don't be sad,just remember when you happy, you make the people around you happy too,you are a special person and you deserve all the love in this world. ❤❤❤
Hi Laura, I love that you are just so real.You are so right… it is always the small things, that mean so much to us. Something that has been handmade or a lovely gesture that was said, are the things that we always remember and appreciate.
Loved your honest talk about how we feel about ourselves and comparing us to the “perfect lives of other social media people” which we do thinking we aren’t “good enough” which we know we are but always comparing our lives to others instead of just feeling grateful for all we do have which is so much!!! ❤️🎄🎅🏼
The idea that someone has a stressless, perfect life is a fallacy. I too have struggled with my mental health for as long as I can remember. Negative thoughts surface now and again. Like you, I have learned how to move past them. It's all good and just part of our makeup as it is for millions of others. I recall an American show where a guy would travel to a random State and town, and knock on a resident's door to hear their life story. It made me recognize that everyone has challenges in their lives. Much more than myself. My best to you and yours this Chrismas from Canada.
Very true! Thank you so much for watching from all the way over the pond! I will have to get some Canada travel tips from you soon as I am hoping to visit! Xx
Laura I very much enjoy watching you.I'm probably as old as your mum. I do need to be true to yourself and that is what I see in you. Your mum must be very proud of you. Out of all the UA-cam's I watch you are realistic in what you offer and very much at your followers level. Have a restful and happy Christmas you've had a lot on this year. Cx
Oh my goodness Laura ,how thoughtful of you do such lovely hamper giveaways. You always do such lovely & special things on your videos ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄 x
Really appreciate your honest chat, it’s a really good reminder that social media can make us feel so inferior sometimes and we just shouldn’t compare and instead appreciate what we have, I needed to hear that. Thank you for putting this message out there, esp at this time of year ❤. You’re lovely 😊x
you are so right the people you love when they are not hear it is truly gutting lost my nephew and brother in 2 months i am very sad inside tryingto cope with it
Your health is the wealthiest thing you we can have, and we can all sometimes take it for granted but we are also human too, people that we don’t know or care about opinions shouldn’t matter because they would not give you a second thought, we can moan about not having a big house but a homeless man would love a house, we can moan about our job but a jobless person would love a job, and I could go on, I love your videos and always have your just you x
Merry Christmas Laura, hope you have a lovely time. 🎄 Great idea with the cream jumper and the vest top. The neckline always gets dirty on me. I like to match my bags with my footwear and whether it's for a smart or casual occasion. 👜 I understand Christmas can be soo stressful, perhaps you need to have an Adhd/ Autism assessment for the overwhelm and struggling with your feelings.
What about your UA-cam followers that are not on instergram love your vlogs thats how I bought Elizabeth arden hydraplay moisturiser omg my skin is glowing thank you. X
We are in a full moon phase so don’t worry about getting emotional it’s happening to all of us 🩷 thank you for posting the Lemon Posset recipe I’m going to try it 🩷

Merry Christmas Laura, hope you have a lovely time. 🎄
Great idea with the cream jumper and the vest top. The neckline always gets dirty on me.
I like to match my bags with my footwear and whether it's for a smart or casual occasion. 👜

Laura you are beautiful person inside and out 🎉
