    Hi Lydia I have lost 170 pounds in Weight since April 2022. I was 22 st I am now a normal BMI. I have worked hard to get yo my goal and I'm determined to continue to look after my health. I spent my whole life morbidly obese for the most part. Being not over Weight or obese is very new and strange for me. I'm treated differently now.

    I was so impressed by Lydia announcing she'd written Evergreen, that it gave me the final push to submit a proposal and the first chapter of my own idea for a book to a well known publisher who had approached me after I had presented a paper at an academic conference in Athens last June. Unbelievably, I got the book contract and am now busy finishing up the first edition of my manuscript. Thank you Lydia for being such an inspiration and an example of whats possible when you work hard. I adore your handbag collection also!

    My recent success/achievement is prioritizing my physical and mental health amidst supporting my husband as he battled leukemia. In May 2023, he was diagnosed with cancer. After his diagnosis, I decided to put more energy into strengthening my body and mind, seeing how even at 27 years old health could be taken away from my very best friend who was otherwise seemingly perfectly normal and fit. Moreover, I knew I had to "put my oxygen mask on first" if you will to be able to best support and care for him during his battle. Nine months later, my husband is now in remission, and I am stronger than I've ever been thanks to 4-5 days of barre classes a week! More important than any number on the scale, though, I am now more confident and in love with myself and all that my body can do. Additionally, I have prioritized time in nature, reading versus scrolling, and checking in with myself akin to the prompts in your book, Evergreen. Thank you for such a lovely space you've curated, Lydia! It's been such a beautiful, warm, safe space for me amidst even the most challenging times.

It’s so hard to do when you’re always there for your loved ones. It’s easy to put yourself last. Lydia’s channel is such an inspiration and reminds me to take care of myself.

    I became very ill in 2021 and could not do many of the things I loved. I was on oxygen 24/7, my hair began to fall out. I lost my passion for fashion and interior design. It took all of my reduced mental capacity to just live. I began to get a little better as the months passed by and was able to get off the oxygen and my hair came back in better than before. My mental clarity started to return…but my reduced lung function kept me from doing most things.
    A year ago I decided to sit at my desk with watercolor paints and paper and see if I could paint a landscape. I had never painted anything but a wall, never art. The first few were not great, but I kept at it. I have been able to sell every one I list online and have been commissioned to do many pieces besides. You just never know what you can do until you try!
    Green has always been my favorite color and landscapes are full of green. Your landscape painting in your dressing room always catches my attention. It was fun to see and hear about your recent art you added to your collection from your trip to Scotland.

    Here is a tip for drying wool and cashmere items from my Grandmother (we are talking since the 1930's here) Lay them flat on a clean white bath towel in the kitchen or laundry room or somewhere there is no carpet. If your house is not large, no problem put another towel on top and you can even walk on them. My mother used to the put the whole lot of our hand washing under the kitchen mat but this did give our childhood jumpers a rather 'blocked' wartime 'flat' look!

    I have the same Lauren Manoogian coat and a few other bits from her brand-- love it. I had moths 2yrs ago that almost destroyed my new MaxMara coat so I launched a serious anti-moth mission. After some research, here is what I have done .1. step one, wash all clothes, kill all possibly alive eggs. 2. Always leave your closet wide open when you are away (especially during the summer months when they breed and look for dark places), meaning you let the air circulate. 3. Spray the entire cashmere / wool part of the closet with anti-moth spray.... you know, casually, when you're walking past it, once a week... - since then- no moths thank God!

    My Cashmere Care Tips - When I got into cashmere, I purchased a tub and the special detergent meant for hand washing, but now I only use it if I get a stain on one of my cashmere pieces. Instead, I wash my cashmere in a laundry bag (not a bag for dirty laundry, but one of those bags you put delicates into and then can put in the wash) with some towels and I run a delicate load on my washing machine. In my logic, the towels protect the laundry bag of cashmere and absorb more water which helps keep the cashmere in better shape, but I have no clue if its really helping anymore than it gives me peace of mind lol. Then, to dry the cashmere pieces, I lay out a clean towel (not one I just washed with the cashmere) and lay a piece on the towel and then roll it up to save space and leave it on a countertop. I let it get most of the way dry before I hang it. That seems to be the easiest way to care for cashmere for me. I had been using one of those manual fabric shavers that looks like a small comb, but this video has inspired me to purchase an electric version because the manual ones do take more time to use. Hope that helps anyone else looking for cashmere care tips.

    As a Canadian in England... I definitely think it's British people who like to play down their accomplishments/things they do well.
    For example, a North American will say "I just made theee BEST cake!"... they probably don't think it's the 'best' but are just emphasizing that they made a really good cake, you'll probably like it, and they've excelled at this particular task.
    A Brit will make a cake and know in their head that it's the most fantastic cake, and they will say "... it's alright".
    It's shown me that if a Brit cannot own small little wins like this, they really struggle to own the BIG wins!
