Can I just say that I don’t think you’ve ever looked more beautiful or more at ease with yourself and the world around you. I’ve been a subscriber for years and rarely comment but you’re really in your prime my darling, enjoy it 🙂
Yesss, she is Radiant🤗💜🐬🏝
I was thinking exactly the same thing, it's so lovely to see
I thought this as well! Sea salt hair and sun-kissed skin suits Lydia so much!
The very words I was about to write. They both look so happy and relaxed 😎
She really does xx
I thoroughly enjoy you guys as a couple. I particularly enjoy blogs where it’s just the two of you, uninterrupted and just being! Your friendship just shines through and I suppose that’s why I enjoy witnessing you as a married couple. God bless your union truly.
That’s really smart having a fragrance that you get for an occasion. Our sense of smell brings us back
Thank you so much for taking us with you, I felt like I was there. What an incredible trip and you looked incredible. I can't wait for part 2!
I can say with out question that this video has captured how happy, relaxed you are …. This is so uplifting to see an amazing young couple so in love and enjoying the fruits of all your work .
Stunning from start to finish xx
Lydia, after watching part of this video I wrote my husband at work and tell them we have to go to the Maldives when I get well. And then you went out on the boat with the Dolphins running about! That was beautiful, I absolutely loved that. And now you put that beautiful Tangerine silk linen skirt on and I loved it. I thought when you tried it on it home it was very pretty but in the evening lights it was lovely. I really enjoyed the color. I also enjoyed the top that came with the linen skirt it was unusual and fun. It decided to put that color in my wardrobe for the summer. Even if I am still stuck at home. I men in pajamas since last June I was in the hospital. There was no point in really getting dressed and if it was too difficult to address my wound and get dressed. Now it's nearly closed it'll take about a year just a few more months. But I am getting up everyday and working a bit around the house starting to sculpt and paint again. This is very exciting as I have been mostly just watching TV for a year. Really wish you a podcast in the future. I assume you'll you writing books. But I digress, I wanted to say that watching you with your wardrobe and beautiful ideas and design I am determined to get dressed everyday enjoy doing so again. Partly due to your encouragement and enthusiasm about fashion and Design. I should say thank you so much for you and your team as I am affected deeply by your work. I enjoy all the facets of your life and feeling encouraged every week. I have been looking forward to getting well enough to dress every day and to work in my garden, though it only be a few flowers right now. I put in a few herbs and tomatoes which for this year is enough. I believe we're hoping to buy our retirement home this year so that we can work on it while we are still working. So I will be taking some of your ideas from your house and yard with me on that project. You're an inspiration and your kindness and positivity warms my heart. I'm 62 now and I have thoroughly enjoyed you being a part of my life. We may never know each other personally but having this kind of encouragement in my life has been incredible especially this last year during all of the agony. Don't you ever underestimate what you do for others in this situation. Your hubby is sweet your staff is awesome and your sausages and Lumi are delicious. I myself have two dogs and two cats that help me everyday. Life is full of love. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite
Jennifer, you have an amazing attitude! I hope you get well soon!!
Don't do too much too soon, or you could set your recovery back, let yourself heal for as long as it takes, you will get there!
The dolphins and the sunsets ALWAYS bring tears to my eyes!!! 😭💗Thanks so much for sharing these special highlights of your trip with us, Lydia!!! 🤩💖💖
I love the swim suits. The colors are so pretty. I loved watching big fish swimming around. The water is so clear. It's just breathtaking.
Did anyone else get emotional when seeing the family of dolphins? Absolutely breathtaking !! 🥰
Thank you kindly for 1 commercial break in 1 hr 20 m video.
A fan I am from 🇨🇦
Ali walking by when you are showing the room - you two are sooo sweet! It just struck me as adorable! 🤍🤍
Absolutely a total winner/favorite!!!! Love to sit and watch some of your order videos 🎉
Just beautiful Lydia. I’ve been lucky to enjoy the Maldives as a gift from my husband a year after finishing chemotherapy it was just what we both needed.
Lydia I live in the Isles of Scilly in the uk. We see dolphins, seals daily In crystal blue water I’m sure you and Ali would enjoy the peaceful surroundings here.
Looking forward to the next vlog and thank you for this one x
So glad you got to visit this lovely place Lou.. after a difficult year. I hope you’re feeling all better now! ❤️🩹🤗
Hello Lou, I live in St.Just near Lands End and have been to your lovely Isles of Scilly many times! 😀💐🌸
@@lindaw.5836 oh hi Linda how lucky are we to live in such beautiful places. X
@@Rachaellouise8 I’m feeling ok Rachael now a few years down the line and living with cancer. I’m ok though and have accepted things as they are. Would love to visit the Maldives one more time it was just everything all pulled into one that made it so special. Think I’d do the direct flight as Lydia & Ali did if I’m lucky to go again. Thank you for asking x
@@lindaw.5836 just thought will be driving past st just tomorrow as I’m on a hospital trip. I’ll give you a wave when passing Linda 😊
You are spoiling us with this super long vlog 😍 What a treat. Thank you 😊
I absolutely enjoyed every second of this vlog ! love the outfits especially the orange maxi skirt
lydia in the hat just chilling and chatting was the vibe !!!
Ritz-Carlton‘s Motto is: „Ladies and Gentlemen are serving Ladies and Gentlemen.“ Love that!👑🎩
What a Glorious Holiday….I feel more relaxed just watching you and Ali❣️
I love you at home, but it’s also good to see you outside of your element and enjoying yourself on vacation. Such a lovely video. The dolphins were amazing!❤️❤️
The way they greeted you with their hand over their hearts has been the way muslims great each other for thousands and thousands of years, i’m glad this way of saying hello is seen in such a beautiful way! You’re definitely making want to go to the Maldives very soon!❤️😍
Islam was founded in the 7th century CE, that's one thousand years and four centuries ago. There's no "thousands and thousands of years", in fact for most religions.
You look absolutely STUNNING Lydia, you're literally a part of the beautiful Maldeavian scenery and you make it so complete with your Bond girl aura and elegance! What an utterly delight to watch you, as always! Xxx
Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed vlog of your vacay! You’ve inspired me to book a trip. I also love the fact I get a part 2 and follow you to your next villa, I was bummed to see this video was almost over because I enjoyed it so much but then became ecstatic with the part 2 news!
It’s so nice to watch something that takes you away from the normal everyday life x
Oh my goodness, this vlog was it for me! Truly felt the escapism from my laptop. So happy this trip radiated so much joy and happiness to you and Ali. You so deserved it!
I can tell you watch Ali’s vlog too! He also has some incredible footage of the resort. Felt like a vacation ☺️
@@sabrinaf263 Absolutely!
The sound of the waves in the background pretty much the entire blog is so so dreamy. This blog was so beautiful. Enjoy to the fullest!
Lydia lol! You waiting patiently clinking the chopsticks together 🤣🤣🤣. My husband takes forever as well lol!
Enjoy every minute!! Calcedonia is the best! This video is a perfect combo of trip/room tour/food/outfits to make me stick till the end 👑
That time lapse of you waiting for Ali so that you could start eating your dinner was so funny 🤣
I thank you so much for taking me with you on your trip! Ali might not appreciate me, but I have certainly enjoyed being along. So lovely to see you having a wonderful time. You look beautiful with your easy hair and no makeup makeup. This is what is so great about the beach. Oh and the FOOD! Dying over those huge prawns. Enjoy!
Okay, so I am sorry, but I was a third wheel on vacation with you. I had such a relaxing experience. I really enjoyed watching you go from pale to bronze and look more refreshed and relaxted with each passing holiday. I have been subscribed to your vlogs for just about a year now but have never commented. I think you are amazing at content creating... you were made for this. I especially love those little hounds of yours. They are beautiful and frisky. Lydia, I look forward to living vicariously through your experiences and to your next vlog. Andrea
Magical. Cinematic. Epic.
The clothes, the scenery, and seeing you too so happy and having such a great time is the most wonderful site. Thank you for sharing this vacation with us❤
This was such a beautiful video to watch Lydia, absolutely breathtaking and just the escapism I needed on a fairly depressing Monday evening. I would absolutely love to visit the Maldives some day, it’s definitely a bucket list destination, I really hope my life heads in a direction where I’m able to travel there someday. X
I really think you would enjoy Dubi. Such a magical place. We loved it so much.
Loving the long vlog 1hr 20mins, the Maldives definitely deserved it, great to see the dolphins to. Did have to laugh at the dinner thing with Ali. Lovely to see you both having fun and relaxed on holiday. You not bothering too much with your hair and makeup while away on holiday is how it should be, life is to be enjoyed.
So nice to see you enjoying yourself on holiday Lydia! You’re glowing and stunning as usual. And those Celine sunnies are fab.. giving me early 2000s vibes! Xx
Oh my gosh it looks amazing - It is so beautiful! Aw you are glowing 🥰 I just love watching both of your videos 😘
Omg, 10 sprays of a perfume!! It must be heavenly!! That resort is to die for! Thanks for sharing!
Great vlog, found myself smiling and laughing a lot. Ali is the best, enjoyed the bits of interaction between you two 😊😊😊
That black and white swimsuit 😍😍😍.
I keep coming back to edit my comment as I watch, but I hope the people responsible for gifting you guys this vacay watch this vlog because you've done a fantastic job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That hotel and view are an "OH WOW" moment!
You look amazing, Lydia!
I loved every second of this video and it felt like I was there.
Thank you! ❣
It made me chuckle when you were discussing rocket. On our first trip to London I was going to order a burger but the description said "with rocket". Neither of us had any idea what rocket was and I was afraid it was something akin to sardines or something weird so I didn't order it. LOL! Your gardens are amazing!
I feel the queen of pasta in “ That’s gorgeous “ pronunciation....ha ha ha !
Aww a little bit of penhaligon .. I actually put expressa on This morning then came down to watch and you have it too ! Check out juniper sling too ! Incredible fragrance
Love the little "houses" over your growing veggies
I have never seen you so relaxed 😎 and comfortable in your skin and even in your clothes. P.S. thank you so much for the dolphin footage! The absolute best 🦈🏖🥰
Lydia, I've been watching your vlogs for years and very rarely comment, but this vlog is just amazing, lovely and warm and I feel really relaxed watching it after a working day. I love Maldives, been there once and got so much into snorkeling, it helped me overcome a lot of my fears of deep waters, so I hope it changes your attitude towards it as well. The hotel looks amazing, so will surely be looking into it! And most importantly you look amazing and it shines through the screen that you feel amazing as well! Thank you for the beautiful vlog and I hope you enjoy your holiday.
The umbrella stand at Summer pavilion made me laugh. So British!
I thought that was the cutest thing when you were waiting for Ali too eat. It was like the baby challenge waiting to eat their fruit snack for mommy to come back. Warmed my heart❤️. Lydia I just love your point of view on all your vlogs. Simply BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️
What a great vlog Lydia. I went to the Maldives 25 years ago with my Dad and brother, just after my mum passed away. My experience was quite different from yours. The island we stayed on was called Kurumathi and there were no modern facilities like there are now. We had beach front log cabin. There were no spa facilities and no swimming pools etc... it was a complete Robinson Crusoe experience.. absolutely wonderful. I remember the food being very good and as we were there on Valentines day and were returning guests, we were invited to a VIP dinner on the beach... as we sat on the waters edge at our tables the water lapped around our feet. Apart from getting a bite from a sand fly it was magical lol. On Valentines night I came back to my cabin to find my house boy had sculpted my sheets into a gorgeous design and strewn rose petals all over the bed. It was so beautiful I slept on the sofa in the room as I didn't want to disturb his artwork lol. We had the sea plane from Male out to our island... I remember an extremely good looking blonde haired, bronzed Australian pilot and the Maldivian navigator. Can't wait to see you next vlog. Sending love from sleepy Devon xxxx
I just got SO excited to see a new video from you! I hope you guys had a WONDERFUL break! So excited for such a long video to watch! This just MADE my day! 😍💗
I’ve been a little out of the loop with Lydia’s vlogs (having watched her for years!!) because I’ve had an unfortunate bout of bad health. Today is the first time in probably 6 months I’ve had the energy to watch and my gosh what a relaxing intro back into the world of Lydia. I feel so incredibly relaxed and wow what an experience to be a part of. Ahh I am happy to be back 🙏😍x
That was a real treat watching the 🐬 🐬swim. Watching this in 2023 as a new subscriber and it was lovely 🤩🤩.
"This is my new chest's first holiday." Ah, that made me laugh! You look fantastic. This resort is stunning. Enjoying this video very much!
This was just so calming to watch. You look stunning xx
Comments like the one about the baby goat and dolphins in the same two weeks is why i like you so much an makes me relate to you so much 😂❤️
Lydia, you look absolutely gorgeous without makeup. The sunsets are amazing. Oh, what a place to visit!
So glad you got away and was able to relax and enjoy life. The one piece and the lilac swim suits were my favorite. I live near the East Coast in the US and often get to see dolphins at the beach. Magical they are 😊.
That sushi coma face when the California roll is on point😋
Omg the garden is coming in so nicely!! What a reward.
And you look lovely as always ❤️
The holiday of dreams! And if you don’t mind my saying Lyds, the girls look incredible! You looked stunning in everything you wore ✨
The floral bikini looks so pretty on you. Needed that beautiful ocean view right now, thank you both so much. Will never likely be blessed enough to make it there, but have always wished to. I can't blame Ali for losing track of time snorkeling! Oh it had to be beautiful under that water. Happy for you sweet couple, to make this trip!
This was the length of a short movie hahaha thank you! 💕
Lydia clicking those chopsticks like pincers had me lolling
Love the beauty of this nature and the effort you have put to share your beautiful moments with us🌻 Thanks Lydia, i also love to tell you you ve got a splendid taste in your fashion picks 💛💛
Lydia you look stunning! I really enjoy the contrast between you and Ali's videos. I like your explorative reviews and Ali's beautiful B roll showcasing the vistas. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾 he'll have some but I never get tired of watching both your videos. And it might be untoward to say, but your surgery results are gorgeous.
Beautiful video everything is just amazing out of this world...loved every minute. would love to go hopefully for my 45th wedding anniversary finger's crossed... thank you xx
Penhaligon’s Castile, and Bluebell, are Summer staples for me.❤️
I found ur channel when u were living in ur old house, back then I was also willing to work with u. U inspired me greatly. Well done for doing the surgery because now u r showing the true natural body.
The voyage is truly epic! Thanks for giving me joy watching you and Ali having fun, living your best life and loving each other. Amazon clothes, glasses and hats are a little experiment in terms of style, right?
What a delight that vlog was. Thank you for sharing it! Loved every single bit of it. I feel more relaxed just by watching it. 😌
Wow just wow what a beautiful place loved every minute watching you enjoy your holiday I really felt I was with you (well in my head 🤣) such a magical place ✨️ xx
Dog bed: our old dog was also a bed chewer and the only success we had was one of those raised/elevated beds like they have at vets. They're not nearly as comfy as the plush ones. I think the only other option are the super "tough" kevlar type materials that maybe your dogs couldn't chew through.
What an amazing vlog! Such wonderful detail about the resort, which looks stunning!
The sunsets are fantastic! You are both looking so happy and relaxed - well deserved holiday.
Your enthusiasm is charming. Ali is so Devine. Beautiful couple. Cheers
Utterly obsessed with that black and white swimwear look on you! Love how detailed you go through all your pieces from makeup to shoes 🥰
You’re looking for a Riva - if you want the highly polished wooden speedboat.
Trip looked amazing!!!
Great hotel looking out to water. Wonderful trip! How fun!
Aries queen waits for no one when its Dinner time, Lydia you’re too sweet
Hey Beautiful! Thank you for sharing such a lovely vacation with us! Question; Does your discount code only work for a limited time and limited area? Thanks!🥰
It looks STUNNINGGG there! Watched yours and Victoria's vlogs and was like OMG we gotta go there next time. We've been Maldives quite a few times and it is our favourite holiday hands down. We've gone to the same place every time and it's nice that they know us now but wanted to try somewhere new for the next time but just worked out how much it is for a week, THAT PRICE FOR A WEEK IS JUST WOW! 😂😂 you really weren't lying when you said it's considerably more but I'm happy you went into detail about what you get. Also, you dying for the food was hillar, the "thank you, he said I can start" killed me loool. Btw we prefer and always get a beach villa with a private section to sunbathe too, we feel the same about sea villas, kinda scares us lol
Dear Lydia, thank you for gorgeous company 😘 it is always so much happiness and love in your and Ali's video's. Thank you darling
We love it how you include your husband's needs and wants in your communication. We love Ali in the USA -- be beautiful to our new UK friend. I am so happy for you all. Happiness and Love.
Love how Lydia looked like a toddler doing the 'don't eat the sweets' challenge 😄 Gotta say I can relate
AMAZING TRAVEL TEAM !!!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚♥️
54:28 when you tell your kid not to eat until you come back and they are desperate to eat the candy!! 😂❤️
What a dream holiday! Thank you for sharing it with us. Maldives is very high on my travel bucket list 😍
Say “WOW” as much as you want, what a beautiful place and what’s a blessing!!
I have truly enjoyed this video! Can't wait to go on holiday myself in 3 weeks!
I still come back to watch your old vlogs but how did I miss this one ☝️ wow ❤ you guys are so genuine and I love you both but Lydia you are so lovely 💕💕💕 thank you for keeping me company when I’m home alone feeling lonely and feel like I have a friend to listen to and sometimes I answer back lol 😅 love the outfits and I’m currently going through a process of a breast reduction waiting now for my health organization to approve me and tell me that it’s under health reasons I’m going down a few sizes xxx
Urgh Lydia what a beautiful, beautiful place!😍 Say all the wows you want to haha. I hope it rests & restores your soul.Happy holidays 🌞
WOW! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. A family trip I would love to go on! Can you share the villa info? I loved it!! How romantic!
Always happy when I see over an hour long video!! Watching now 🥰
Best video yet! You look amazing, but your beauty on the inside really shows through... you are just glowing girl!! Btw.... black and white swim suit is 100% YOU!!!
Thanks for sharing . Sending love to you both from Auburn, Alabama.
Stunning hotel. Hand over heart greeting was implemented at most hotel worldwide by almost every brand.
Hi Lydia , just eating sushi pretending I’m there! Thankyou for taking us with you. 🙌🏻
@4:44 Sooo cute :))
Love this type Lydia's vlogs.. always a fan when she is traveling for serious and takes camera with her too.
I loved this vlog ❤️ Fave part was watching you squirm while having to wait on A to eat 😆
Lydia, where do I find the beautiful sage colour nail polish you wear?
Love this one! OMG...sent a hotel info link to hubby as a small hint. QUESTION...why don't the rstyle links work for me here in Canada? Need to know where the polka dot dress is from!
I had a jolt of joy: It is the first time i hear someone pronounce the noun « Penhaligon’s » as a non brit, i never new how to pronounce it. Beautiful Lydia ❤️
