So glad you bought the boots! Keep!
Thanks Bro! Definitely Keeps!
Thanks for sharing your trip with us Fran. I loved seeing your vintage finds & grabbed a cuppa to have with you while you had your decadent brekkie. I’m nearly 60 & trying to downsize my wardrobe after years of collecting & have a similar philosophy to yours but Japan would have definitely tested my willpower! All the best ❤
Ah, thank you so much for watching! ❤ And for having a bevvy too-I love sharing a tea break, ha! ☕ It was super hard shopping, but I’m pretty proud of how strategic I was with my finds. Thanks for being here and see you at the next cuppa catch-up! 😉 Have a great one! Fran
L.L. Bean flagship store is in Freeport, Maine I believe~
Excellent detective work! 🕵️ thank you so much! 🙌

17:28 love love love the deer 🦌 jumper, aka sweater❤
Thank you - I can't wait to wear it this holiday season! It's such a lovely sweater aka jumper 😉
@@FulanFuran❤ perfect & you will look so handsome 🫶
Love the quilt.
Thanks - I'm using it right now! 👌🥰
Hi Fran! Those are LL Bean boots originally from Freeport, Maine 🦆🥾 So many good finds. That beautiful blanket is especially striking ❤
You will love the LLBean Boots!
Wow! Nice one - Thank you! I've just been researching the brand - so cool! Many thanks for your insider knowledge. 🙌🕵 🙌
Hello Fran! Obsessed with your vlogs. Please make moreee
Wow! Thanks! I'm having a lot of fun making them! There's more in the pipeline - don't you worry! 🤗
I hope you’ve settled now and feeling better. That quilt is gorgeous.
I'm wrapped in the quilt right now! 😅 Thank you! - Feeling a lot better - although I've been up since 3am 😵💫 Happy Friday! 🙌🙌🙌
@ same thing happened to me when I came back from Australia. I painted a lot during the night. My fur babies were so sick of me because I wasn’t cuddling enough with them. Enjoy your gorgeous quilt.
Awwww...Brötchen! Little Bread (roll)!! Good gift choices - consumables beat key rings and fridge magnets every time; it just makes more Stuff for people to feel they ought to keep because it was a gift. Bum notepads aaalll the way...
Ha! Thanks Vicky! 🥖🥖 I totally agree!!! - I had a lot of food/crackers in my haul, but took them out of the edit! Definitely a better gift option. Hope you're well and have a lovely weekend! 😊
Heyyy ☮️ im new to your channel from a video or two back... love your vlogs! 🌞 im so curious to where u got your jumper from the start of the vlog... it is beautiful? Also your eyebrows look fantastic, the artist did a great job. Looking forward to more vlogs. Best wishes from a brit living in brasil 🏴🇧🇷
Damn.... I commented too early haha. U showed the jumper near the end of the video... my bad. I absolutely looooooove second hand stores 🌻
Welcome and thanks for joining! Yep - I thrifted the jumper in Japan - it was a proper treasure hunt! I’m wearing it right now. ☃️ Thanks for the support! Sending you positive vibes all the way to Brazil! 🇧🇷 i would love to visit one day!
@FulanFuran thrifting in Japan is definitely on my bucket list! And as for Brazil... Sao Paulo is a great city to visit ☮️

Hello Fran, new Subscriber here from L.A. Just came across your video & I totally can relate with you regarding dating & how as we age & when we haven't been in the game for a while, it can feel a bit like anxiety starts to take over! You seem like a very nice genuine warm hearted individual & good looking! You should not have any trouble finding someone, just don't force the process, let it unfold & you will discover how that love will be right infront of your door! 👍💞💖💕💓🌞🌞💋
Hello and welcome! I'm so glad we can connect here! 😊 Yep, I'm still not ready to dive back into dating, especially not on the apps-they bring back too many cringy 20s flashbacks! 😅 Thanks for your lovely message <blushing>, sending you ALL the positive vibes back to you in L.A. I love it over there-such a beautiful place! 🌈💖💋 Have a great one! Fran 💖💖💖
Discovered you and congratulations on your channel’s viral success! ❤ I’m 38 and I resonate with what you shared about starting over after your corporate career. My story was a little different but the emotional feelings were the same. Don’t lose heart and faith (or overthink), believe in the skills you possess and you’ll shine with your personality ✨🌈🙌🏻❤
Thank you for the lovely comments and support! Leaving corporate has been such a shift - so it's encouraging to connect to others who have gone through the same experiences. Navigating mid-career is challenging - but I'm remaining positive and working hard to get results! Loving your channel btw - it's great to get so much insight! Take care, Fran 💖💖💖
"Shopping on Vinted was hit or miss - loved the finds, but hated the anxiety about buyer protection. 😟 Since I switched to Ditchit, I don’t worry about that anymore. Their security-first approach makes all the difference."
Oooh - I'll have to try Ditchit! - thanks for the tip - and all the best!
This was so sweet 🥰
Thank you! It was fun 🥰
The Hair looks soo cool and fresh I’m all new to your channel. Started with the decluttering, but really love your vibe, so I’m here to stay. Hi from the also always single / from Denmark
Hello there! Welcome to the channel-it’s great to have you here! Glad you like the hair-it was definitely time for a change! Although I feel like I need another cut soon! Sending big love to you over in Denmark! 😉✨ Always single too - lolz!
Woah, I'd forgotten about the eyebrows until you mentioned it, so they DO look natural! Love how you keep in little bits of you setting up the camera for filming rather than just editing to the 'perfect' shots! And the look on your face and body language when Youseon is hurling abuse at the other other driver - safe to say you don't do confrontation Fran, me neither...! Might be my favourite of your videos so far?
Thanks Vicky - thanks for noticing! I'm always trying to make an entertaining vlog when I edit my footage - so a lot of the 'gag reel' stays in - Although a few things I've edited out! believe me! Glad you're enjoying the happy vibes. and yes - I'm not a confrontational person, but maybe a sleeping lion! GRRRWWWLLL! Have a great one! Fran
Brows look incredible ❤
Thank you! I'm glad they've blended in!
That food looks soooo yummy 😋 9:44
It was super delicious!!! Ahhh I'm making myself jealous - HA!

Thank you! It was a lovely day celebrating! 🥰
Love watching your videos! ❤Thank you Fran.
You're welcome! Thanks for being here! ❤
Your friend has such a nice studio! Lovely vlog thanks for taking us along 🎉
Thank you very much for joining! All the best! Fran 🎉🎉🎉
Hi 🙋♀️✨️ Your playful nature excites me. I like that. Wishing you happy coincidences! 🫠 Stay curious, darling.
Thank you for the kind words! 😊 I always try to bring positive energy and a bit of fun with my videos. Thanks so much for the support-wishing you endless wonder, and stay curious too! ✨
Gosh that was a huge studio. Did you enjoy SK?
Right?! That studio was such a surprise! SK has so much warmth and charm-I always love my time there. 😊 Thanks for asking!
Hope you enjoyed hanging out with me this week! I'm experimenting with more 'fly on the wall' filming when I'm out and about-let me know what you think! Have a great week! Fran

He’s still very young so decluttering is more difficult. I’m in my 70s so it’s much easier to have the mindset to get rid of everything with no regrets!
"Vinted was hit or miss with delivery times and tracking, but Ditchit has been a breath of fresh air-quick, reliable, and always keeps me in the loop!"
You are great
Many thanks for your support!
You are doing fine
Same comment as everyone else - they look fine, Fran! Life is for experiencing things...
Thanks so much, Vicky! Always fun to try something new! 😊
I found you through your decluttering video & stayed for the filmmaking, the vibes and your authentic presence. Don’t stress too much and keep doing what you’re doing! You’ll find your audience!
Wow, thank you so much for this! I’m honestly so touched-Thanks for being part of this journey-it’s all still a bit new, so I’m incredibly grateful for the support and community here. Sending all the gratitude and good vibes your way! 😊✨
@ I’m grateful to be a part of this community! Thank you for the good vibes ✨
LOVE the haircut! New look, new life!
New positive vibes! Let's do this! 🙌🙌🙌
Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite - it always puts a smile on my face to see when you’ve uploaded a new video! Appreciate your sincerity and positive outlook. As a 30s something living in a major city, I find your content so relatable - navigating the next stage of career, living solo and dating as an adult, and figuring out how to live a good life. Keep it up! Good luck :)
Thanks so much for the lovely words-I'm really glad you're here! 😊 It’s great to connect with others who are going through similar things, and it really helps to stay positive together! 🙌✨ Wishing you all the best on your own journey, and I’m excited to share more with you along the way! Take care, Fran!
Francis......your brows look awesome!! Can't wait to see them when they are healed! Thank you for the video!
Aww, thank you so much! 😊 I’m excited to see how they look once they’re fully healed too! Appreciate you here! 🙌✨ All the best!
That's so genuine of you for not cutting out the part where you missed the entrance twice (10:24). That's how I know you are an honest person. Thank you for the video and sharing your experiences. I wish you all the best.
Ha! You noticed! That pretty much sums up my life-always a little lost but I get there in the end! 😅 Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Wishing you all the best too! 😊
The eyebrows look great!! ❤
Thank you! I'm slowly getting used to them! Take care!
The eyebrows change your face ❤
Thanks! I'm still surprised that they do that!
I know your a big man, but i find you sooo cute. Loving ur vids.
Aww, you’re making me blush over here! 😊 Glad you're enjoying the vlogs!
They look fine! Stop overthinking ❤🤗
Thanks bro! Wait until you see them in person! Ha! Hope all is well! ❤🤗
Instead of “when in Rome,” “when in Seoul” - I would probably get some treatments too 😅
Haha, I’m way too impressionable! 😂 Seoul has everything you need! Glad I just stuck to pretty straightforward treatments!
Hi Fran, you are beautiful ❤
This is a good truth
I'm blushing over here! 😊❤ Sending all the love right back at you!
I love microblading, it can change the face and looks very natural 😊 Mine still look amazing a year later . Yours look nice, they will calm down 😂
Thanks! 😊 It’s a totally new experience for me! They’ve definitely calmed down now-those first few days were intense! 😂
Fran, your brows look just fab 😍
Thank you! They're definitely looking better after a few days 😊 Take care, Fran
Eyebrows look great. I completely understand how you feel because when I got microblading, I thought I looked crazy to everyone. I wasn’t used to having darker and well-shaped brows. To you, they’ll look too dark and cartoony, but rest assured that she did a great job and they’ll fade quite a bit ( esp if you have oily skin). It’s funny because your reaction to the ombré brow was just like mine. I wore a cap and didn’t leave my house. Trust me that they look perfect ❤ can’t wait to see how they heal. Best of luck… wish I could be there to get treatments with you!
Thanks for the insights! Those first few days were super intense-especially since I’ve never really thought much about my eyebrows before! They’ve already calmed down quite a bit, thankfully! 😊 I really appreciate the reassurance!
.
I like the eyebrows. The face looks sore, I hope it calmed down
Thank you - yeah, the skin is taking time to heal - but hopefully it will calm down soon. All the best, Fran
Your eyebrows look great! You're lovely before and after, Fran 💖
Thank you! Ha! I guess I just need to get used to them! All the best, Fran
