I personally do not mind what you show, it’s part of what you do on your channel… informing and reviewing stuff, why pander to those who aren’t really interested… just my thoughts for what they’re worth. I think you are so genuine kind and lovely… and THAT is a huge part of what makes your channel a success. Congratulations on 22K … onwards and upwards! 🌅 Ps. Your outfit today is gorgeous 👌
@@Helenmaryjo. I have watched you from the start and enjoy all your videos if others don’t like them they are not forced to watch them don’t let the few spoil it for everyone else 😊
Hi Helen 🌷 I don’t always comment but I do always watch… quite often on a binge with 3 or 4 back to back. It’s my nice gentle time. There is something comforting about your sincere and friendly way which is the main reason I watch you. And your Mum is adorable. I just wanted you to know I really appreciate your content and I feel you are a really lovely person, thank you ✨xx
Too many people I feel are commenting on other people giving their opinion on this video. As long as they aren’t rude they are entitled to their opinion.
I have followed for a long time and have love your honesty. Now the but…I think obviously as you have grown the channel I think the sales push on so many different things is getting off putting. Stay being you please
Dear Helen, have watched you from the start and I am guessing you are probably feeling a bit upset at some of the comments re advertising. I think it's the time of year as many you tubers I follow seem to have more than adverts than usual. I think people forget you tubers have to run it as a business and editing and thinking of content takes a huge amount of time. Take the comments as genuine feedback. You now have 22k followers so it is inevitable you will begin to get comments that potentially will be upsetting. You will also get many people who will be envious of your lifestyle and find some of the expensive gifts you receive way out of reach. Maybe do some giveaways and share some of your good fortune. I love your channel but I think the more successful you become you will find some people begin to make comments rather than offer constructive feedback. Hope you are not too downhearted, keep doing what you do well as I most definitely enjoy your channel.
It's fine. It does hurt. I've had so much to do, I squeezed a lot into this one, it's true. But it's also true that they are all products that I love and it's certainly not about the advertising.... but I've taken it on board. Thank you very much xx
Please ignore the negative Nancy’s Helen, I think they’re jealous and need to start enjoying their lives before it’s too late 😂 love your content and your attitude to life is an inspiration.
Thank you, Helen. I’m so sorry that most of your comments for this video are negative. I enjoyed listening to your chat today, your mum will love her new gloves. l have a couple pairs of leather gloves and the scarves and shawls are beautiful. The colours really look wonderful on you. Keep your chin up. ❤
@@SueCragg-nw2lh I don’t think that the comments that were made about all the advertising were meant to be negative. We were just giving our opinion. I personally love Helen’s channel and to be honest I just don’t like all the adds. I didn’t mean to offend anyone.
The royal blue scarf really suits you, that colour looks stunning on you ❤ loved the catch up & I adore Primark that make up bag is typical of their tasteful simplicity. Im sorry so many people on here had a whinge. Maybe they should make their own channel? Or if they have nothing nice to say, say nothing 🤣 Xxxxx
I love your channel and all the demonstrations of items that you are affiliated to. Some are not for me but I still enjoy watching you talk about them. But that’s my opinion. There are far more lifestyle, family, caravaning, cooking items that you very generously share with us than ads. You tell us wonderful stories and anecdotes. Take us through the New Forest, board a ferry and go to mums for the day. Surprise us all with your Cost-co bargains. Show us your wonderful family floral tribute and how to achieve it. Helen, you are a great personality and good fun. Keep up your successful contacts and make millions!! 😊😂
Dear Helen, I wish I had the guts to do what you do, I too love the nice handbags and the scarves, the jewellery too and how wonderful to get them for free. Don’t change, I’m a little older than you, but similar in a lot of ways, you give me confidence to try things, thank you. 💕
Hi Helen, this is the first time I switched off half way through, as just an advert really….dermatica, cashmere, tea….the 15% shawl discount is available to anyone visiting the website, although I guess you get money if your code is used which is a bonus. 😊
@@Helenmaryjoignore it..I love your vids! You always give me ideas about clothes and accessories, gifts, beauty etc..and really good laughs along the way..I especially enjoy your sense of humour. And it’s your job! Isn’t promoting stuff the point? And you do it honestly and sincerely. Keep going Helen..you’re doing a great job and cheer me up, especially now during my long slow recovery from my accident/ shoulder replacement . That commenter can’t know Christmas is coming lol😂! . Love from your Irish Belle in Wales x❤🏴❤
Hi Helen cant believe the negative comments. I have watched you as your channel grows. Love all your products & fashion & cookery demos. Never change Helen your a breathe of fresh air. Love when you have your mum on. Chin up❤🎉xx
I enjoy watching your videos. It’s your channel Helen and you show and talk about what you want!!!!! If people aren’t interested they can just skip through! You can’t please everyone don’t I know!! 🌸💗
I think you’ve missed the point judging by your comment this morning Helen. It has nothing to do with whether the products you are showing are not for everyone, the point that many people have made is that this was not a catch-up chat, it was you advertising various products and you need to be honest about it because I am sure you will be receiving benefit from doing this. That is fair enough but now you are changing tack, you are pushing products constantly and you are, in my opinion (and I think many others too) losing your credibility of being a slightly dotty, not used to doing this, funny, lovely lady. It all feels rather cynical.
Hi Helen. Really enjoyed this upload . It did feel like a chat with a friend and a cuppa. The scarfs were beautiful, I loved the blue one ,it is your colour . They are worth the money and last forever,n hey why shouldn't we treat ourselves to some nice things here n there . Anyway Helen ...... This Hel's Belle signing off 😅 Keep the uploads coming
I love your chat and have brought so much through your videos it’s such a help for me living abroad I get things delivered to my mum and so enjoy all your content there will always be people that feel the need to give negative comments they do on all channels but they have the choice to scroll on ! I have had a most difficult couple of years and watching you and hearing your chat is a lovely distraction ! Keep on doing what you do 😊
The gloves are absolutely gorgeous! I’m a bit of a glove fiend tbh. Really enjoyed your chat Helen, I live alone and sometimes don’t speak to anyone for days. It’s nice to feel like I’m sitting chatting to a friend xx
Can't believe the mean comments from some so called followers. I love your content, all the stuff you share etc. I even went to Primark and looked at the lipsticks based on your recommendation and bought 2 ! Keep doing what you do ! 👏
Hi Helen don't worry about the whingers they dont have to even say anything just scroll on. Its your channel you keep doing what ever i for one love listening to you Melissa from Adelaide Australia 😍
I want you to appoint me as your p.t. secretary. Then I will answer these critics..boy will I ever. Free it's all free. Ladies if you don't have anything nice to say then keep your gob closed and let the rest of us enjoy our friend Helen. Now run along and go play in the garden.
Forgot to tell you something. Leather purses are such a good investment for everyone. They last for years and years and always look terrific. The economy over here in North America has just become impossible so I don't know how many people will be buying leather purses. It was reported yesterday on CNN that 70% of USA citizens has less than $400 in their banking account because the cost of living is atrocious. There are around 335 million people who live in the USA and so that's around 220 million or so people with less than $400 in the bank and if I was to convert that to quid it doesn't amount to much but that's the way it is. People now who have old citizenship from the UK are moving back to the UK where literally grocery prices are 1/2 of what we're paying out here in Canada and America. Bad weather conditions etc etc have caused a lot of this so I can't see too many leather purses flying out the door unless you buy from the shopping channel in the UK or Canada or USA that's a possibility where you can pay for it monthly. The CNN report was from Mike Wallace and Susie orman who is a financial guru. If anybody would know about the state of somebody's bank account it would be Suze orman.
I enjoy your videos Helen and those of others and anything I’m not interested in I will fast forward or not watch it’s as simple as that. I feel it’s a very fine line for UA-camrs not only to to show interesting content and edit (which takes a lot of time I’m sure) but also ensuring that as it’s also their job to have to promote various products in order to earn a living. However I feel as a UA-camr it’s always healthy to have constructive criticism (and I don’t mean trolling) as you need to appeal to your audience. Keep doing what you’re doing it works as your number of subscribers shows! xx
Hi, Helen. The shawls are beautiful and definitely your colours. They look great on you. I'm sure your mum will be very pleased with the gloves, they're lovely ❤
Thank you so much Helen for this Vlog. It’s good to get see brands which we may not otherwise know about. Really appreciate the time you take to do this, and really enjoyed this one. Have a Great day x
Hi Helen, thank you for sharing so many great items with us 😍 My absolutely favourite product are the shawls. Beautiful colours ❤ I also really like the make-up items. They are such a good value👍🏻😊 xx
Helen I know you will be feeling a bit down with all these negative comments but all I can say there are a lot of us that think your great and enjoy everything you do ,whatever the content. Please just keep being you and chin up!.xx
The scarves and the gloves are really lovely. I know your mother will be so pleased. I think I bought a scarf in a ‘boutiquey’ shop in Ripon years ago and it was Black. I must get it out as suspect it is at the bottom of a winter scarf container! I find that the trouble with having lots of scarves, is how to remember what you have. The info re makeup from Primark was good. I liked the flexible makeup brush holder - useful gift for my 16 year old granddaughter I think.
Oh Helen I enjoyed the video. I for one are so pleased that you are getting sponsors and getting some freebies. I don’t think people realise how much time it takes for these videos to go out. For goodness sake and I’ve said it before there are always the green eyed monsters. If people don’t like what you’re doing on a particular video just turn it off. My mum always said if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it I love your channel Helen Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks as always take care. Oh and your Mum will love the cloves.
The colour of the cashmere shawls were just gorgeous and really suited you.I hope the gloves will be ok for your Mum but I have to say I have very arthritic hands and I can no longer get them into my leather gloves. I do hope they fit your Mum though as they are lovely.
I have to agree with other Comments re too much advertising. Helen, you tend to play down the income you may be receiving from advertising but I feel now you are going into that side of it much more and you need to be more honest about it. This one was heavy advertising plain and simple.
Hi Helen, there are some good buys in Primark skincare and make up but just to be careful any product you buy is sealed. I was in a large store last week and watched a woman blatantly open a mascara, apply it and then replace it on the shelf😮.
Funnily enough your videos usually pop up just as I've finished my tea and heading towards the kettle to make a cuppa 👍. Tea is my beverage of choice, I love it although I'm no connoisseur. I've even tried to embrace green tea...... God it's vile 🤮😂. My Mam always says that tea tastes better from a real china cup/mug and who am I to argue. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Enjoyed the video, Helen.....ignore the naysayers! I used to buy Dior Forever Glow $58 .....pricey but worth it, I thought. Until i heard that Illumanance by Revlon was a great dupe......tried it and it is better than Dior and one fourth the price! ❤❤ love when that happens😊also......love the way you Brits say "bits and bobs". Here in America we say " odds and ends"! ❤❤😊😊😊Kathy from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸♥️
Blimey Helen…what a “hoo-ha”!! Of course you’re promoting products/companies you are lucky enough to have collabs with. I can’t believe all these people who have got the wind up about it! If you are sent free products you genuinely like then naturally you must promote. Even though some products/items aren’t of interest to me personally, it’s interesting hearing your opinion and seeing what’s out there. I always like to highlight items I like by writing a comment to let you know but If you feature anything I don’t care for, I don’t feel the need to “have a go” and comment harshly . People can be fickle eh? I feel I kind of know how you think now and I know all these harsh, negative and accusatory comments will have upset you, but please try to “shake it off” Helen. Lots of us just love your channel and always remember, it is just that - YOUR CHANNEL, your business and your decisions…people can surely just “jog on” if they feel so strongly about you promoting brands. Keep smiling and keep doing you Helen. Sending big hugs. Mary (Scottish Hel’s Belle living in France) 🤗💕
Thank you very much Mary. You are right in all you say. I'm not actually feeling very well at the moment either, so it is difficult. But all in a day's work I guess.... xx
@ Aw sorry to hear you’re not feeling too great at present…Forget about having to create videos ‘til you feel better Helen. Rest up and take care of yourself ‘til you feel better. 🤗
Hi Helen ,whatever you talk about it’s still like talking to my friend. I may not be able to buy cashmere shawls etc but I can still appreciate how the colours brighten the complexion ( the pink one ) or really bring out the colour of your eyes ( the blue one ) ! I maybe even buy a cheaper version to bring out the colour of my green eyes 😊. I’m off to Primark to have a look round the beauty counter and get some ideas. The brush holder is an excellent idea and stops your makeup bag getting colourful ! 😜 With over 22K followers now you are definitely doing something right so try not to take any negative comments to heart. Hope mum is still feeling better. B🏴xx
Evening ,when I say that ,I think of Dixon of dock green for some reason 😀😀,!loved the black gloves,( cashmere (sheer luxury) yes you are lucky😀 lovely chatty video tonight,I have salt and pepper hair I'd love it to be white or sliver as it can look so sophisticated , love the the idear of the captain skipper and crew 😂❤❤
@@Helenmaryjo I know you prefer "your fans, like me" to ignore your critics but seriously Helen that comment above is so disrespectful & uncalled for. Im in shock. So much nastiness over one video 😔 I'm appalled by their awful comments & hope they all unsubscribe & good riddance to the whole lot of them. I Hope you feel better soon & I'm sorry they ruined a perfectly good day & a perfectly good video 🙏🕊💗
My point is , Helen is just promoting anything and everything and seems to be just filling up her time with things no one needs to see . Not everyone is as lucky to be having winter holidays .
@@adeenetipton6166 I just discovered this alternative to Lancaster and thought I’d share…. Handy to know there are cheaper alternatives out there I thought. But obviously I can’t please everyone all of the time xx
@@adeenetipton6166 loads of us go on winter holidays and find the products useful & we need them. Why are you on this channel when your lifestyle doesn't match the products? & who are you to dictate what's relevant?
Thanks for the chat. The Piz Buin tan enhancer that you put on your hand, sniffed, and then showed the camera, I almost went to sniff it too 😂😂😂. Just like having a friend chatting in my dining room lol. Those scarves were gorgeous colours. Xx
Interesting video - I really loved that cosmetic brush holder from Primark! Glad you bought both cashmere sweaters - much nicer to have classic items in your wardrobe like that rather than a stash of things which won’t last. X
Hi Helen, loved the chatty video your mum will love the gloves they are beautiful. I only drink decaf tea and coffee recommended by my GP. My daughter always treats me to a cream tea for my birthday and we are going to Pendlebury Manor just before Christmas so I said to her would she like vouchers for her and her hubby for an evening meal because they don’t need anything. My 2 grandsons I give money and their partners I have bought Elemis Shower Gel and Body Lotion for one and Molton Brown shower Gel and body lotion for the other so have most of my gifts sorted this year thank goodness.❤️❤️
A little to much ads. But fun as always and i laughed out loud when you put the lotion for us to snuff on. Yes we sit on the other side of the table. Yes i just stand thin cups and mugs. Hugs
Hi Helen, enjoyed as always…loved the shawls and thank you so much for introducing me to Primark makeup….fantastic. Great gifts for the sailors in your family too🏴xx
I didnt see that at all. And why do you assume everything is "free" I'm grateful for all the clothes Helen orders & returns just for our benefit 🙂 keep on rocking 💗
I was so lucky this week too. My husbands brother in law works in leather goods in Bangladesh supplying items to Geox ect. He gifted me 2 beautiful calves leather bags. I've never had such nice bags and one is a lovely sage green. I used to have cashmere shawls from India with beautiful embroidery on too. I will have to look them out. X
Love a chit chat, great idea for the t-shirts, just give my older grandchildren money now as they are so hard to buy for, I tend to use a few Primark Makeup mixed with my other stuff, beautiful scarfs❤

Thank you so much Helen for this Vlog. It’s good to get see brands which we may not otherwise know about. Really appreciate the time you take to do this, and really enjoyed this one. Have a Great day x
Thank you very much xx
Love what you do Helen. Always look forward to seeing you.xx😊
Thank you xx
Enjoyed the catch up while drinking my green tea ☕️. I also agree Black seems to be a good and genuine company so thank you for the discount code. ❤
My pleasure, thank you xx
Hi Helen, thank you for sharing so many great items with us 😍 My absolutely favourite product are the shawls. Beautiful colours ❤ I also really like the make-up items. They are such a good value👍🏻😊 xx
Thank you xx
Helen I know you will be feeling a bit down with all these negative comments but all I can say there are a lot of us that think your great and enjoy everything you do ,whatever the content. Please just keep being you and chin up!.xx
I really appreciate your kind comment.. Thank you xx
The scarves and the gloves are really lovely. I know your mother will be so pleased. I think I bought a scarf in a ‘boutiquey’ shop in Ripon years ago and it was Black. I must get it out as suspect it is at the bottom of a winter scarf container! I find that the trouble with having lots of scarves, is how to remember what you have. The info re makeup from Primark was good. I liked the flexible makeup brush holder - useful gift for my 16 year old granddaughter I think.
Thank you xx
Really enjoyed this video Helen! Please do more! Loved all the scarves and dupes etc! X
Thank you xx
Great video. Helen, i love your chats and tips on different products. Ignore the negative comments 😊
Thank you very much xx
The shawls are beautiful Helen as are the leather gloves.
That’s a handy wee brush holder, I’ll be after that!
😘xx
Thank you xx
Oh Helen I enjoyed the video. I for one are so pleased that you are getting sponsors and getting some freebies. I don’t think people realise how much time it takes for these videos to go out. For goodness sake and I’ve said it before there are always the green eyed monsters. If people don’t like what you’re doing on a particular video just turn it off. My mum always said if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it I love your channel Helen Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks as always take care. Oh and your Mum will love the cloves.
Gloves that’s ant to say
Thank you very much xx
Aren't you supposed to show the AD symbol for advertising on channel?
Far too much promotion here - sorry!
It's in the description box. x
@@Helenmaryjo Thought it was supposed to be primarily on the screen, that's what other You Tubers do.
@@Helenmaryjothe ad sign should be on the screen as well according to UA-cam guidelines.
@@Maria24270 the box is ticked, so it should be showing now. I had scheduled this from my phone so maybe that's why. Thank you for pointing it out. x
The colour of the cashmere shawls were just gorgeous and really suited you.I hope the gloves will be ok for your Mum but I have to say I have very arthritic hands and I can no longer get them into my leather gloves. I do hope they fit your Mum though as they are lovely.
Lovely video Helen and greta to see and hear your take on all you mentioned. Thank you.
My pleasure 😊xx
I have to agree with other Comments re too much advertising. Helen, you tend to play down the income you may be receiving from advertising but I feel now you are going into that side of it much more and you need to be more honest about it. This one was heavy advertising plain and simple.
Love whatever you do Helen, one of the best Vloggers for me 👍hair looks fabulous!
Thank you xx
Hi Helen, there are some good buys in Primark skincare and make up but just to be careful any product you buy is sealed. I was in a large store last week and watched a woman blatantly open a mascara, apply it and then replace it on the shelf😮.
I know, it is a bit of a jumble sale. I can't believe how people treat the products in there.... Thank you xx
Funnily enough your videos usually pop up just as I've finished my tea and heading towards the kettle to make a cuppa 👍. Tea is my beverage of choice, I love it although I'm no connoisseur. I've even tried to embrace green tea...... God it's vile 🤮😂. My Mam always says that tea tastes better from a real china cup/mug and who am I to argue. Thanks for sharing 🙂
My pleasure, thank you xx
Cheers Helen. Looking forward to try your tea when it arrives.
Thank you xx
Enjoyed the video, Helen.....ignore the naysayers!
I used to buy Dior Forever Glow $58 .....pricey but worth it, I thought. Until i heard that Illumanance by Revlon was a great dupe......tried it and it is better than Dior and one fourth the price! ❤❤ love when that happens😊also......love the way you Brits say "bits and bobs". Here in America we say " odds and ends"!
❤❤😊😊😊Kathy from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸♥️
Ah, thank you xx
I’m so pleased you kept both those beautiful jumpers.
I couldn't choose, so I had too..... Thank you xx
Loved your Cuppa and a Catch up! Had mine with milk, sorry. 😂 Please feel free to make this a regular thing.❤
Thank you xx
Too much advertising
In a nutshell.
I've taken that on board, thank you xx
Good evening Helen,
Good to watch your video 👌🏾
I did maked my home ready for the most wonderful time of the year... 🎄✨️
Wonderful! xx
Love the idea of catching up with a cuppa😍😍
Thank you xx
Blimey Helen…what a “hoo-ha”!! Of course you’re promoting products/companies you are lucky enough to have collabs with. I can’t believe all these people who have got the wind up about it! If you are sent free products you genuinely like then naturally you must promote. Even though some products/items aren’t of interest to me personally, it’s interesting hearing your opinion and seeing what’s out there. I always like to highlight items I like by writing a comment to let you know but If you feature anything I don’t care for, I don’t feel the need to “have a go” and comment harshly . People can be fickle eh? I feel I kind of know how you think now and I know all these harsh, negative and accusatory comments will have upset you, but please try to “shake it off” Helen. Lots of us just love your channel and always remember, it is just that - YOUR CHANNEL, your business and your decisions…people can surely just “jog on” if they feel so strongly about you promoting brands. Keep smiling and keep doing you Helen. Sending big hugs. Mary (Scottish Hel’s Belle living in France) 🤗💕
Thank you very much Mary.
You are right in all you say. I'm not actually feeling very well at the moment either, so it is difficult. But all in a day's work I guess.... xx
@ Aw sorry to hear you’re not feeling too great at present…Forget about having to create videos ‘til you feel better Helen. Rest up and take care of yourself ‘til you feel better. 🤗
@ Thank you xx
Hi Helen ,whatever you talk about it’s still like talking to my friend. I may not be able to buy cashmere shawls etc but I can still appreciate how the colours brighten the complexion ( the pink one ) or really bring out the colour of your eyes ( the blue one ) ! I maybe even buy a cheaper version to bring out the colour of my green eyes 😊. I’m off to Primark to have a look round the beauty counter and get some ideas. The brush holder is an excellent idea and stops your makeup bag getting colourful ! 😜 With over 22K followers now you are definitely doing something right so try not to take any negative comments to heart. Hope mum is still feeling better. B🏴xx
Thank you very much xx
What happened to a chat and catch up ?
I have taken that on board. Thanks x
Shopping channel? now ?
I've taken that on board, thank you xx
Evening ,when I say that ,I think of Dixon of dock green for some reason 😀😀,!loved the black gloves,( cashmere (sheer luxury) yes you are lucky😀 lovely chatty video tonight,I have salt and pepper hair I'd love it to be white or sliver as it can look so sophisticated , love the the idear of the captain skipper and crew 😂❤❤
Showing your age! haha xx
Sorry , far too many things being recommended that are not relevant , summer has gone so why promote tanning products .
Because many, like lucky me, are going away on holiday in the Winter. xx
@@Helenmaryjo I know you prefer "your fans, like me" to ignore your critics but seriously Helen that comment above is so disrespectful & uncalled for. Im in shock. So much nastiness over one video 😔 I'm appalled by their awful comments & hope they all unsubscribe & good riddance to the whole lot of them. I Hope you feel better soon & I'm sorry they ruined a perfectly good day & a perfectly good video 🙏🕊💗
My point is , Helen is just promoting anything and everything and seems to be just filling up her time with things no one needs to see . Not everyone is as lucky to be having winter holidays .
@@adeenetipton6166 I just discovered this alternative to Lancaster and thought I’d share….
Handy to know there are cheaper alternatives out there I thought. But obviously I can’t please everyone all of the time xx
@@adeenetipton6166 loads of us go on winter holidays and find the products useful & we need them. Why are you on this channel when your lifestyle doesn't match the products? & who are you to dictate what's relevant?
Hi Helen, would you please show us your wedding photograph? A bit random, but would love to see it! x
I'll be doing that in our Q and A xx
👍 thanks for all the info ..
Thank you xx
My dad has tea with his sugar - and I think how on earth can you still taste the tea😃
My brother used to have six teaspoons of sugar in his!!! But none now haha xx
Oh I forgot to add I definitely had a “want” moment when I saw those beautiful gloves for your Mum. X
Christmas is coming.... xx
Thanks for the chat. The Piz Buin tan enhancer that you put on your hand, sniffed, and then showed the camera, I almost went to sniff it too 😂😂😂. Just like having a friend chatting in my dining room lol. Those scarves were gorgeous colours. Xx
Thank you very much xx
Love the silk scarves. Always interesting hearing about different make up dupes. Tea hasn’t arrived yet but will report back!
Hope you like it! xx
Thank you for the video..if there is something I do not like I just skip it!...easy¬! !
Carry on regardless Helen I love your channel ! 😆
Thank you very much xx
Interesting video - I really loved that cosmetic brush holder from Primark! Glad you bought both cashmere sweaters - much nicer to have classic items in your wardrobe like that rather than a stash of things which won’t last. X
I agree, thank you xx
Love your hair that long. Very flattering.
Oh thank you! xx
Helen was the neighbor the man you use to make cakes for.
Yes, he was. A lovely man xx
Hi Helen, was norman the neighbour you made food for in the past? Great T shirt idea!!
Yes he was. A lovely man xx
HB. Thanks, Helen, lovely cuppa catch up.
Thank you! 😊 xx
Enjoyed your video Helen,
Keep doing what you do..
Xx
Was Norman the gentleman you made ,shared cakes with? Sorry about his passing…Liz Claiborne..she had a fragrance I wore and loved eons ago…memories
Yes he was. A really lovely man xx
Definitely a cuppa and a catch up!
Thank you xx
Loved the video Helen, thank you for the recommendations especially since Father Christmas is on his way x
Hi Helen, loved the chatty video your mum will love the gloves they are beautiful. I only drink decaf tea and coffee recommended by my GP. My daughter always treats me to a cream tea for my birthday and we are going to Pendlebury Manor just before Christmas so I said to her would she like vouchers for her and her hubby for an evening meal because they don’t need anything. My 2 grandsons I give money and their partners I have bought Elemis Shower Gel and Body Lotion for one and Molton Brown shower Gel and body lotion for the other so have most of my gifts sorted this year thank goodness.❤️❤️
Sounds good. xx
Hi 👋 Helen the scarf and shawl were beautiful the gloves will make you mum very happy I’m sure nice video 😊
Thank you very much xx
Love all of the cashmere..enjoy!!! You are beautiful..inside and outside!!
Thank you so much!! Xx
❤❤ Love You ❤❤
Ah, thank you xx
A little to much ads. But fun as always and i laughed out loud when you put the lotion for us to snuff on. Yes we sit on the other side of the table. Yes i just stand thin cups and mugs. Hugs
Thank you xx
Hi Helen, enjoyed as always…loved the shawls and thank you so much for introducing me to Primark makeup….fantastic. Great gifts for the sailors in your family too🏴xx
You are so welcome, it's my go to at the moment xx
Brag brag brag , all those freebies!!!!!
Jealousy is such an ugly trait
@@susanosullivan4107 Lady go to your garden.
I didnt see that at all. And why do you assume everything is "free" I'm grateful for all the clothes Helen orders & returns just for our benefit 🙂 keep on rocking 💗
Please don't argue ladies. I've taken the comments on board xx
Sorry Helen, meant to ask about the make of the foundation you were talking about. I did rewind but couldn't find it. Thank you.x
The one I'm wearing is No 7 tinted moisturiser, the one I show is Primark xx
I was so lucky this week too. My husbands brother in law works in leather goods in Bangladesh supplying items to Geox ect. He gifted me 2 beautiful calves leather bags. I've never had such nice bags and one is a lovely sage green. I used to have cashmere shawls from India with beautiful embroidery on too. I will have to look them out. X
Sounds fabulous. xx
Love a chit chat, great idea for the t-shirts, just give my older grandchildren money now as they are so hard to buy for, I tend to use a few Primark Makeup mixed with my other stuff, beautiful scarfs❤
Thank you xx
Great video! I really enjoyed the variety of content! Keep on being you 😊❤ xx
Thank you xx
Beautiful shawls . 😍 and thanks for the tips x
