Hi Rhiannan. Im 58 now and my son is now 24 and it took me ages when he was liitle to realise that it was ok for the time he was at nursery or school to go out and do stuff for myself or like you shop at the packaging free shop etc without feeling guilty that I wasnt at home doing chores. When he came home we then did the chores together like the washing, preparing dinner, hoovering and cleaning plus gardening and he loved it. Hes also really good at taking care of himself now hes an excellent cook and tackles everthing without worry. So please never feel guilty about doing stuff for yourself or shopping alone. Yes it takes longer with kids helping u do your housework but it can be so much fun and beneficial to your child. I promise. Go for it. Cant wait to be a nanny now! Love your vlogs i loved having a small child so much. Xx
Tina Mcloughlin this is so helpful - exactly the insight I needed. I hope my son grows up to look after himself and also for me to learn to not feel guilty for taking time for myself ❤️ your comment, even months later, is so wonderful! Thank you 😊
@@GemTakesPhotos bless you. You are doing a great job. Remember that. Look after yourself and then its so much easier to care for the ones you love. Have a great day. Xx
Growing up in a Belgium, I hated the post holiday period, till Spring came along, so I know and understand how you feel. Ever since we’ve moved to New Mexico, I have not suffered from post holiday blues.The sun shining makes a huge difference 🌞
I think it's so great that you are aware of what to do to make yourself feel better. Especially the things you may not feel like doing. You're so young and you're working it out already! I'm 37 and only just starting to find my way. X
Thank you for talking about vitamin D. I've been feeling emotionally low lately and couldn't figure out why. But now I'm thinking that I might be a little low in vitamin D. And if anyone is looking for reusable grocery/produce bags I suggest looking around the etsy website. A lot of the shops are small businesses and you also have to option of buying within your own state and sometimes city.
I also get the “January Blues” and I too have found Vitamin D incredibly helpful. I also have a light that is meant to help stimulate your brain to think it is getting sunlight. I find it works a treat!! I sleep better, have more energy, and just feel so much more like my “summer self”. I also walk my dog for often over an hour and it works. I am so glad you mentioned your struggles, it reminds me that I am not the only one affected by this and to be even more considerate of others in my life who also suffer from it too. Your excitement over the packaging free items in that lovely shop is so familiar. I get so excited going to our local bulk food store and using all my reusable bags and containers. Thank you for a wonderful bit of “wellness and self care” by making another video so soon. Cheers
Your vlogs are like therapy! You and Delilah rolling around the kitchen floor is so adorable! 🥰 Ps - Just hearing you talk about tackling the winter blues was so helpful!
Hi Rhiannon I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I am going through a break up currently and am having a tough time with it. Delilah's laugh is so contagious I had a genuine chuckle and I needed that. Again thank you, you're videos make me feel so much better no matter what kind of day I'm having 🧡
I’ve said it a thousand times before but honestly, I look forwards to nobody’s vlogs like I look forwards to yours! Feel so personal, especially considering I’ve been watching sing the long blonde curls 😋 Can’t believe how far Delilah’s growing, can’t wait to have my own little family ♥️
My favourite milk alternative is the Oatly Batista blend in the grey carton; that's the only type of Oatly i like as it is by far the creamiest/tastiest. Try that one, most supermarkets don't sell it but i think ocado has it and loads of small shops do it. Hard to come by but it's so worth it; unlike any other milk alternative.
I absolutely adore my backpack from Matt & Natt, when I bought It i didn't even realize they brand was vegan, cause the "leather" is such good quality. The design also really follows the shape of your back which really helped against the aches I had with my previous backpack
Don’t be afraid of getting a “granny trolley” or “trundle trolley” as we call them in Australia. They’re those personal fabric/vinyl shopping trolleys that you can drag behind you on wheels. You can buy LOADS and it’s no strain to pull it! Saves your back/shoulders big time! :)
Astonish stain remover is great and they don't animal test. Or you can buy the astonish soap which is amazing, lasts forever comes in card board and is less waste.
idk if it's available in the UK but I really like the almond breeze hint of honey vanilla almond milk in coffee, somehow the honey makes it taste creamy in coffee?? if not, any us viewers reading this...highly recommend!
have you tried almond breeze's barista blend? 😱it's only sold online, but it's SO good! so creamy, well worth the hassle...i once ordered a box of 10 and used them up for a couple months 😂
I really hope this doesn't sound too odd but I just love the sound of Delilahs voice :) It just makes me so happy and her voice reminds me so much of one of the kids in my day care who's half British. Also loving your conscious choice to use less packaging! Definitely inspired! And really want a label maker now :D
Wow love how you're making such an effort to shop with less packaging and less dairy and all, so good to see :) I'm trying too but not going half as well as you!!
Have you tried lush bathbombs with Delilah again? I remember when you first tried and they were really overwhelming for her, I wonder if she would like them now. Much love to you all!
Bliss just watching your uploads your so calming and a delight to snuggle down with a hot chocolate I've watched you for years your my all time favourite xx
I've had the same issue with milk in my tea, tried every thing but hated all of it. Just recently tried brown rice milk and it's actually pleasant and drinkable in tea - although the colour isn't right but try to ignore that. Fortunately I prefer my coffee black!
Have you tried ricemilk? I'm vegan and ricemilk is the only type of 'milk' that I actually like the taste of drinking it all by itself. It has the most neutral taste in my opinion. :)
It really annoys me when people thumbs down a video, if it’s really offensive then yes sure, but to dislike a family channel video really drives me mad! If you don’t like what you see, move along.. bye!
Have you tried the Silk “soy for coffee” before? It legit tastes like cream to me! Its my favourite thing to put in coffee It comes in a short little purple cream size carton
i recommend Almond Breeze's Barista Blend, Rhiannon! it's a bit of a bugger to find - it's only sold to cafes usually, but you can find some online stores that will deliver it to you - it is SCARY close to cow's milk, i always think they've made a mistake at cafes that use it 😂 it's in cafes all over Australia, revolutionary stuff 👌
I needed this! I have a 16 month old and Iv been feeling so deflated and unmotivated and generally quite sad and anxious! I’m going to try the vitamin d for sure! Xx
@@RhiannonAshleeVlogs I have 2. And the bigger one is def.better. also the materials are different, pay attention to that- take the waterproof one. They make special straps now, that you pop on the original ones - cause the originals just hurt if you wear it in summer on bare skin. The pop on ones are perfect. It holds ALOT of stuff, I am always suprised. And so durable. It is such a good backpack. I think you will like it :) so good you are going to zero waste! ♡
I have a 13 inch one but I use it for college and its perfect its just like a Mary popins bag you can't not fit things in it and its lovely on your back I have no back pain from mine and I used to with my other bags honestly couldn't praise them enough xxx@@RhiannonAshleeVlogs
I too have tried every milk alternative in existence (well it feels like it 🤣) and my favourite is Asda organic soya but long life not the one in the fridge... I don’t know why but there’s a definite taste difference! They have a product called Food Heaven Cafè Soya iced latte too which is delicious 🤤
Just came across your channel when looking for reviews of the All Saints Balfern and am loving it! Subscribed and now going to binge watch your videos! Quick question, did you end up getting the Balfern in a size 6 or 8?x
What it is about plant milks that you don’t enjoy in your coffee? 🤔 I find that so interesting cause I’ve tried so many milks in coffee and I’ve found so many!
So thankful for this vlog Rhiannon. You and your little familam make me smile :) Out of curiosity, when you vlog in shops like that one you were filling up your food bags with things, do you let them know you vlog and ask if you can film? Or do you just do it discretely? Just always wondered! Hope you have a good rest of the week Xx
Hey Rhiannon idk if you've ever said but what's Delilah's middle name, out of curiosity. Love love love love love love your vlogs and your little family!!! 😍❤
Please look into Article 13 Rhiannon. It’s so worrying for all EU creators, including those in the UK. The final vote on the article is set before the UK leaves the EU meaning it will have to implement it.
Rhiannon Ashlee Vlogs I know it’s so worrying! Have you contacted your local MEP and let them know how it would hurt your business? Fingers crossed it will all work out ok x
Disclaimer I’m totally not trying to attack or anything but I’m just curious as to what you’d do if Delilah told you she didn’t want to be in the vlogs when she was older, and she didn’t want to have her videos on the internet. Would you take them down and not vlog anymore or would you vlog without her in it or would you just keep on vlogging like normal? Totally just curious. I love your vlogs and you really inspire me to take the small steps to achieve my goals.
If she didn’t want to be in the vlogs, of course I wouldn’t force her. If she wanted the old vlogs down, they’d all be privatised. It’s her choice and respecting that is the most important thing ☺️
Between doing the daily vlogs every other month I usually slow down the uploads to recharge my batteries. This month I’m working on other projects behind the scenes which is why I’m not doing Feb Vlogs, I’ll be back with VEDA in April but still uploading vlogs between them. So no, not part time necessarily :)
You are one of the sweetest person on youtube, Rhiannon!
Just saying but u have the cutest calmest life ever and I love it
this is SO true, such a beautiful way to put it xxx
“Do you think we have enough toys” “NO” *throws more in*
Delilah is such a sweet gem ☺️👏🏻
I dont know why you dont have much more subscribers you are one of my favorite youtuber♡

Nothing chills me out and helps me unwind from my day like a yummy dinner, cozy blanket and a Rhiannon vlog! Perfect❤️

This just warmed my heart.
Such a beautiful family, honestly seeing you being such a fab mum to Delilah warms my heart x
I get so excited when I come to the end of something in packaging, and then replace it in my jar package free way. You’re not alone!! ✨👏🏻❤️

Awww, it was so lovely to see you again so soon after the last one! I love how your vlogs always calm me down and make me feel relaxed and inspired ♡
I really needed this today, your vlogs really cheer me up ❤️

Denitsa Ivanova I think the bigger Tesco stores sell it 👍 It’s my favourite as well, especially to make hot chocolate with, it’s so creamy 😋
Best way to start my morning! Love you and your family, always calms me 🦋💕

I've waited to have a free(ish) evening to watch this vlog. I feel amazing today but tired. So watching you, Rhiannon, gives me all the hygge I need:)
Oatmilk is my go-to for coffee. It doesn't feel like a compromise. It is absolutely delicious. Try Oatly brand or the Silk one is good.
I could listen and watch you for hours. Thank you ❤
Her ‘lil white converse are too cute. Love them. Hip little lady. 🙂
See this year i haven’t had time to have the January blues between me learning to drive and getting my head around my promotion I’ve not stopped x
I've had the same issue with milk in my tea, tried every thing but hated all of it. Just recently tried brown rice milk and it's actually pleasant and drinkable in tea - although the colour isn't right but try to ignore that. Fortunately I prefer my coffee black!
So many vlogs in the last few days. 😱❤️ I've loved them all🤩
I love love love watching your video's while doing illustrations. It's one of my favourite things in the world. Thank you for that.
I love your vlogs. They add a spark of joy to the day. 😊❤️
Yess it’s Rhiannon time!!!
Have you tried ricemilk? I'm vegan and ricemilk is the only type of 'milk' that I actually like the taste of drinking it all by itself. It has the most neutral taste in my opinion. :)
That ecover stain removal is really good, I use it on my son's clothes.
It really annoys me when people thumbs down a video, if it’s really offensive then yes sure, but to dislike a family channel video really drives me mad! If you don’t like what you see, move along.. bye!
AmyJ I couldn’t agree more! Why make a point of disliking a video and potentially making something feel bad when you could just move on!
YourGalCharlotte not just that, but doing it knowing it could potentially impact someone’s livelihood?! Just cruel and unneeded!
Almond milk uses thousands of litres of water during processing so it's not really a better environmental choice.
Almond milk creates a 10th of the carbon footprint than cow's milk, any difference is a good difference.
that shop looks so lovely!! Can you please film when you try to make those Deliciously Ella energy balls? I would like to try them as well.
Love, love, LOVE the thumbnail!! xx
Omg that local shop is amazing, I wish there was one near me like it!!
Lovely just Lovely. I feel so relaxed.
Hi Rihannon - try Oatly Barista milk - lovely and creamy in coffee! xx
Tried it 🤗 when I say I’ve tried every alternative, I genuinely have 🙈😂
Have you tried the Silk “soy for coffee” before? It legit tastes like cream to me! Its my favourite thing to put in coffee
It comes in a short little purple cream size carton
Love your vlogs Rhiannon!! X

Paramore is my fave! Met so many amazing friends because of this band and their former fan club. Also love 30stm :)

Tiger balm is so good!
Rhiannon, where are you blue & white mugs from?? I love them!

+Rhiannon Ashlee Vlogs Thank you so much! have a lovely weekend :)
What it is about plant milks that you don’t enjoy in your coffee? 🤔 I find that so interesting cause I’ve tried so many milks in coffee and I’ve found so many!

I just do it discretely although in this vlog the owner did see me filming a few things and didn’t mind :)

Your vlogs are never long enough 😭😫
I wish I can have Delilah´s hair 😍
Me too! Love Paramore
i really didnt like the violife creeam cheeese but i love doing mushrooms with a bit of coconut milk and soysauce
Love you Rhiannon, how have the driving lessons been going?
Be kind to your shoulders now and invest in a shopping trolley 👌
wait, don't the shops provide trollies??
Hey Rhiannon idk if you've ever said but what's Delilah's middle name, out of curiosity. Love love love love love love your vlogs and your little family!!! 😍❤
