this was so refreshing and real - because i’ve been feeling so grey and miserable too, feels reassuring to know we’re just trying make it through each day ❤
Don‘t worry about the "negative talk and energy" in the beginning of this vlog! You‘re human, and it actually feels nice, comforting and relatable of you sharing these days as well! Thank you love x
I don’t normally like to tell people what to do via the internet (especially if I don’t now them) but I use to have similar skin issues and 3 things changed the game: not wearing makeup (hard to do initially), a niacidimide serum (specifically The Ordinary), and only using scent free products (from The Ordinary and Cerave). Clay masks once a week didn’t hurt either. Love your vlogs and hope this helps!
You always share with such wit and grace, don’t worry about ‘complaining on the internet’. Echoing what others have already said, your content this past year has been so well done, there’s real perspective and mood, it feels like you’ve come into your own. So I hope you feel proud of yourself!
this potentially could turn out to be a very weird comment 😅 I just wanted to say that I am very jealous of your life in the best way possible :D Facial & Tiramisu in one day, I mean... And London and New York in one week. What I am trying to say here is just: I really really enjoy watching your content, grumpy or sunny. And I am not even going to start on how much I love your sense of aesthetics, interior or clothes. Thanks for sharing it and grumpy greetings from Berlin.
Accutane was the only thing that resolved my hormonal monthly acne after years of trying EVERYTHING. It’s so frustrating and I’m sorry. Also yes to the negative attitude…this winter has sucked ha!
I struggled with my skin for years and years, and I eventually finally was put on Roaccutane (a really low dose). For me, it was so worth it, it changed my life. As my dose was so low I didn’t have huge side effects. People have huge feelings about this medication, understandably, it is quite controversial. I used to think about my skin all day every day. Personally, I wish I had done it sooner, my experience of my early twenties would have been so different. Just something to think about. For me being in the medication was nowhere near as big and scary and intense as it is made out to be online. Lots of love Lizzie 💜💜💜
I second this. I went private to see a dermatologist and they put me straight on it (via the nhs). It’s an internal issue that topical stuff can’t fix.
I think we have similar skin struggles- I am 30 and started getting random spots in my late 20s and my skin is very very sensitive, it was actually made worse when I lived in London which I thought was due to the water (but really who can say). The thing that worked best for me was Skin Laundry! It’s in Oxford circus area, you pay a monthly fee and get weekly laser treatments. Made a huge difference in my skin. I’m sure you get lots of advice sent in, but just wanted to add this in case you haven’t looked into it
The only thing that keeps my hormonal acne at bay is Curology, the same as Skin & Me but in the US. I only ever have breakouts when I use other products, especially around my nose, mouth and chin. Sorry you’re dealing with it, bad skin always puts me in a bad mood too 😢
Where was the tiramisu from? 😍 and I’m sorry to hear about your phone but so nice to see you focusing on the positives despite everything. Been a rocky past few months for myself as well but spring is definitely approaching the UK !!
i once had some spots that wouldn't go exactly on my cheek like yours, and I figured out it was actually my facewash irritating my skin and once I stopped using it they healed up. Ironically I was using anti-acne facewash, which was the thing causing the acne. I felt scammed. But maybe think about using a more gentle soap? everyone's skin is different but overall I have the impression all the different skin care products can be a bit much sometimes.
Brideshead is actually based on Madresfield house in Malvern - Castle Howard is just where it was shot. The bust of the mother was found in the moat there after the family took their disgraced father’s side (who the book is based on) rather than their mother’s. My dad told me they recently found it in there hehe
10 minutes of complaining is minor, i am doing it in my head all the time. Loved the pictures you unwrapped at the beginning of your vlog i love your sheets cover on your bed did anyone else have to take a second look to see if you def did put the makeup brushes straight on the white cover haha. I'm glad you seem happy in New York. We used to wear shoes like your brown suede ones but in leather to school i think we called them pork pie shoes im saying i think because i might be wrong.
My skin has been terrible since I was a teenager. Finally booked in to see a female specialist GP last week and immediately she said I likely have PCOS (had other symptoms). Everything clicked, can’t believe it took so long to be told that 🤦♀️
Don’t worry about your “negative attitude”, very relatable content atm
Thank you! Lots of people seem to be in the same boat!
Lizzy love your content! Where are those suede shoes from again?
The crankiness at the beginning of the video? chef's kiss, excellent service, I felt that to my core, I needed that, Bestie same, 10/10, no notes.
loved the „miserable“ chat. we are right there with you haha loved the vlog - as always ❤
Thank you!!
I just love your book recommendations Lizzy! Also early morning NYC is a vibe!❤
I'm so glad somebody else (who happens to be generally elegant and effortless on the daily!) likes kitschy things too. I feel validated.
I could watch your book content all day, every day ❤
lovely to see you back in NY! would be really nice to see some updated items/things in your flat. and love the tan boots and ur fuzzy hat at the end.
Of course! Thank you!
yes please the testing basics sunglasses! you look great and I'm glad to hear someone else with a winter attitude :)
Liz, love you to bits and you look absolutely gorgeous as always. Thanks for the update.
this was so refreshing and real - because i’ve been feeling so grey and miserable too, feels reassuring to know we’re just trying make it through each day ❤
Absolutely love Brideshead Revisted. The TV show is great too😊
V relatable hormonal/winter misery talk. Glad you escaped for a change in scenery, I'm itching to do the same :3
so sorry to hear about your phone. I hope you feel better soon. We all struggle this way or another. Warm hugs from Texas.
Love the casualness of these! (hi from williamsburg if you ever fancy a glass of wine across the bridge)
Nice relaxing vlog!! Keep up the good work. Great music included❤
thank you!
There must be dressing gown support groups out there, but there is probably paperwork to join 🤣 Big hugs from Florida (sending you some of our sun)
Don‘t worry about the "negative talk and energy" in the beginning of this vlog! You‘re human, and it actually feels nice, comforting and relatable of you sharing these days as well! Thank you love x
Loved your video and love you even more for never dropping youtube longer ones
Brideshead Revisited is so good. My teddy is named Aloysius thanks to that book.
I loveee that
Literally been the same. Have been unwell 4/5 times this winter despite getting the flu jab. So ready for spring!

I was eavesdropping a conversation recently and the people had been robbed - also on the Elizabeth line!
its even sadder because many ppl on that line might be going to or from the airport!
That line is always so packed as well which makes it easy for nasty pick pockets.
UGH it's definitely something to keep an eye out for!
I have never related so hard to if you won the lottery and the first reaction was “does it come with paper work”. Felt this in my bones.
Yay a new video 🎉❤

This white bedding is a dream!! A bit of softness and light, winter will be over soon 💫

You sound like your mom at the end of the video :) love the sunnies, hope they are in the upcoming TB! xx

Brawn - it's so good! Sorry you have had a tough few months, really hope things continue to improve!

What necklace are you wearing? I love it. Can you do a video about your jewellery?
Prophet Song is INCREDIBLE. Also The Guardian doing a book club on it on the11th March :-)
Would you be able to link the mango trousers? ❤
They're not online anymore I am afraid - sorry!!
Loved the video!! ☺️ Would you mind telling me where your Make-up bag is from? It’s so nice!

Hi Lizzy! Could you give us the details for the mango trousers at the end, please?
they are old I am afraid!! Sorry!
I'm going through a breakup and feel absolutely dreadful. I've never felt so low! Side note I love your bedding, where is it from?
Can I ask how you're able to afford two apartments in London and NYC, if you don't mind me asking? xx
My skin has been terrible since I was a teenager. Finally booked in to see a female specialist GP last week and immediately she said I likely have PCOS (had other symptoms). Everything clicked, can’t believe it took so long to be told that 🤦♀️
Are vloggers not the most out of touch people on the planet..
Hi :) The cream Effederm (with tretinoïn) is very efficient for acne, I've been using it for a year now and it has done wonders
Are you happy?
What’s the restaurant called in this vlog? Looks like a good one
Brawn! One of my faves
You would benefit from a stronger laser like CO2 or Morpheus .
When will you be happy? You seem to have a perpetual sadness in your face. 😞
the amount of times you touched your hair is a biiiit too much haha! sorry no hate buuuut it made me stop the video!
