Kate at the last homely house is brilliant Kate is lovely you’ll get the chance to sit on her lovely lime green sofa with the rest of us xxx
I am so happy to watch vlogtober, that is the best part of my day. Thank you so much for letting me a little part of your life.❤
Love vlogtober!! Haha! You are very coordinated today! Your striped shirt matches your car seat stripes only wider. 🥰
Oh yeah! 😂
I was thinking the same thing.
When you next have a trip to Rochester, do pop into Hometown for a mooch. They have a fabulous range of fabric for English paper piecing and quilting. It's my go to and it's a proper treasure trove and the owner, Marion, has so much knowledge and does workshops too 🌻
You and the chickens, all cosy in their beds. Lovely!
Your videos warm my heart!!! Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures and walks!!! You will have to paint the mushrooms!!! Hugs from Tennessee USA
Ohhh that mushroom is straight out of a fairy tale 🍄 loving vlogtober, thank you for sharing with us 💜
Baked beans - wow, they looked yummy.👏
I have been using Cleanse & Polish by Liz Earle as my cleanser for many years and it has kept my skin healthy through menopause. I use the moisturiser too. Natural ingrediants and no animal testing. Available through their own website but also larger branches of Boots.
You’ve inspired me to start Vlogtober! I live in the US in New Jersey. We have an alpaca farm and I’ve recorded two days so far. Thank you for the inspiration!!! Love your videos.
Yay, Jersey!!
Whaaaaaat!? Amazing! I will stop by to have a watch this weekend, sounds right up my street! 🦙🧶
I have the dry eye issues irritated more by the menopause, I use balmonds skin salvation on the dry skin patches . Holland Barrett stock it ,you may also find a gentle cleanser there too . X
Thanks Hayley! Looks like that's 25% off at H&B right now too! x
Ooh you could add loads of lovely extra flavours to those home made beans too. A dash of this, a splash of that depending if you were fancying some spice or something. I like the idea of that.
Lovely to have your vlogs back for the month of October! 🥰
Ellie at Craft House Magic does English paper piecing. I too called it patchwork when I was young. The mushrooms were so beautiful. 😊😊
How lucky are we! Vlogtober is great. thank you for all of your efforts and sharing parts of your life. I just finished Gayna’s September Vlogs. She is also just wonderful.
Delightful to watch these. Thank you so much for making!
That fly agaric! Stunning! I have always used Vaseline to remove my eye makeup. It's very economical and works so well. It's very moisturizing. I use it on my lips as well.
Those mushrooms! What a find! I have had terrible skin problems this year and will check what cleanser I’m now using. I know I picked it up in Boots!
I loved the house in the curelian sea, I loved the cover too so much I bought a hardback.
Oh Ally your jumper matches your new car seats !!
😂
Those beans sounded delicious and I just happen to have large potatoes and a tin of haricot beans, that’s tomorrow’s supper taken care of, thanks Ali! Another vote for Kate. That toadstool was just perfect. Take care. Xx
Thanks Ali for vlogtober really enjoying all your content. Best wishes Frances
The bioderma miscellar is excellent. The garnier one really irritates my skin Lovely to see vlogtober back. Thank you for the time it must take. It’s appreciated
Hi Ali, I’m so jelly of your fall weather!🍁🍂🍄🍄🟫. In my área, it’s still 100+, still in shorts and ts and air conditioning. Have a great day and thanks for todays vlog!🍁🍄🟫🍂🍄🎃👏👏👏🎃🎃🎃🎃
I suffer with dry skin too, especially around my eyes. The best thing I've found for removing makeup is a cleansing balm (currently using the ELF one), they dissolve everything then you remove with a flannel and hot water.
❤❤❤new car,,,,mushrooms,,,,lovely fall day🎉🎉🎉
ELAINE 🏠💗
For English paper piecing I watch Kate at the Last Homely House - love watching her and I also enjoy watching Stitch with Rachel - love your videos! I’ve been binge watching because I just found you last month - have a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing your busy day with us 😊
I've used Liz Earle products for 25 years and dont have any problems, especially around my eyes. I once had a really bad eczema flare up around my eyes and Liz Earle Super Balm was the only thing that helped get rid of it.
Super balm was great for lots of things but discontinued now.
Lovely to see you Ali. You can join us on the lime green sofa with Kate at the Last homely house...and watch Eileen on the pond. Rachel sews is also great and Penelope's chinwag. Hope Phoebe's school is going well. Lilia is settling in and Dan feels better. Beautiful Fall colour's starting here in I Ontario, Canada. Picked up mums and pumpkins today after a country drive home. Gorgeous. Take care 🎃 🍂 🥮
Thank you very much, Ali. I have dry eyes too and my optician recommended that I use a moist heat mask for 10 minutes every night and then cleanse my eyelids with tea tree oil wipes. They are both by Optase and the heat mask is for soothing and effective relief of blepharitis, among other things. I hope you find this helpful. x
Neal’s Yard sell rehydrating rose toner which they say used to be called rose water
I used to work in a factory that canned baked beans for lots of companies. All the same product but different labels. Hienz just had more colouring and sugar.
I used an oil cleaners from Simple that is oil to milk, so comes off very easily. Found it to work very well for my very sensitive skin. Those mushrooms were perfect. We get them where I live too but they get clear out quickly to stop dogs eating them 🤣
Hi Ali. Loving your vlogs ❤. I ditched miceller water and started using cleansing balms. They are lovely as your make up melts off and then wipe off with a warm cloth/muslin/flannel whichever you have. Caroline Hirons is the queen of skincare and her channel and advise she gives is the best. ❤😊.
Wow! Beautiful mushroom! 🍄/ toadstool 🍄
The mushrooms were sooo amazing! I always love going along with you on your walks.
Really glad to hear Dan is feeling better :)
Hi Ali, try witch hazel to remove make up should get at the supermarket or chemist. Also coconut oil is great (don't be scared of oils they really work!!) Hi Dan 🙂🌻💕🦘
I use toups and co tallow soap. The tallow balm moisturizer is a little heavy but it has really helped my sensitive skin and the soap lasts forever.
Yeah vlogtober, you are the first one I watch everyday. Love watching you and your Family.
I loved the House in the cerulean Sea and I’ve hear there’s going to be a sequel x
DHC makes a very nice gentle oil makeup remover that has an olive oil base so it’s not drying. It’s a bit costly but lasts ages. I think they have a small size you can try and/or a money back guarantee. Also, I have a pic of that same red mushroom 🍄 as my screensaver. I took it in Alaska on a hike. It’s so whimsical it doesn’t seem real. Thanks for the vlogs, I look forward to the every day!
I had the same problem with micellar water. I find baby oil works as a makeup remover and a moisturiser. Also the cleanser from "Tropic", but that is quite expensive. Loved the toadstools ❤
Hi Ali! I have multiple eye issues, and the best gentle cleanser for my eyes (no irritation whatsoever) is OCuSOFT Original Lid Scrub. “Cleans, Comforts, and Refreshes for Soothing Relief”. Individual wrapped Pre-Moistened Pads. I find I use less dry eye drops too!
Loving Vlogtober 😊 Thank You!
Hey Ali, sorry about your eyes giving you trouble. I’m pretty sure they sell rose water at Holland & Barrett. Vitamin C eye cream might also help, if you don’t use that already x
Hi and thank you for vlogtober! For makeup removal, I use water and a microfiber cloth called makeup eraser. No chemicals at all! I love it. Oddly, I just travelled to the UK for a vacation and brought Olay dry clothes that become activated with water. They were great. I wouldn’t make a habit of the. Though, because they are disposable. I have the same issue with the skin around my eyes. I recommend trying the microfiber and seeing that you think. I use a gentle LaRoche Posay facial cleanser after I remove the makeup.
You need to watch Sandra (Cherry Heart Quiet Moments 23) doing her hexagon paper piecing. She made a beautiful framed piece with just a few little hexies. Spectacular mushrooms!!! 🍄.
I have the eyecondition too,I was adviced to use a drop babyshampoo in water to clean my eyes each day and use warm compresses. That works very good
❤ the mushroom! 🍄
I also just loved “The House in the Cerulean Blue Sea” for all the reasons you said. The book just made my heart sing. And, I am nearly finished listening to “The Rose Code” based on your recommendation. Another great story. Thanks!
Hi Ali, loving the vlogs! I’ve had dry eyes for years and it’s so uncomfortable. I use Johnson’s No More Tears baby shampoo to wash my eyelids and lashes. It was recommended by my optician and it works. Also use a heated eye mask before putting in the drops. Good luck finding what works for you. I find my eyes feel worse in rainy wet weather. 🤷🏼♀️
Ooooh you need to try jackets in the air fryer. Prick jackets, micro for 12 mins in microwave, then 13 mins on 200C in air fryer. You can eat while skins crunchy but I like to wrap them in foil and a tea towel for about 20 mins while I cook the rest of dinner and they’re delicious. I usually make 2 or 3 jackets depending on who’s appeared at the doorstep to join us (that would be middle son from Bristol 🤣)
Finally got myself an avatar - even though I'm neither Slav nor a chick - from NE Scotland and retired! Anyway, just came on to thank you for the clutch control / driving instructor link. My niece is currently learning to drive so she is now getting the use of this channel - cheers!
Well I love the avatar! And I am jealous of your location in NE Scotland of course :) So glad your granddaughter will find the channel useful - looking at the comments he gets it's clear his videos are so beneficial! 🚙
The mushrooms are amazing! Thank you for sharing! Loving Vlogtober!
Thanks for giving my channel a shout out for Vlogtober! ❤💛
Your thumbnail mushroom is what I call "Mantle- worthy". It is so pretty it looks fake. I love your vlogs!
I love the mushroom 🍄 🍄🍄 so beautiful and my favourite 🍁🍄🟫💕
Hi there, i use wild mint. Its natural and vegan and online in the uk. I'm 44 and gad noticed my skin was struggling with life. Their stuff smells divine and leaves my skin feeling really refreshed ❤
When I had blepharitis the optician explained it as the hair follicles being bunged up with a hard grease, so instead of flowing freely and lubricating the eyelids they got dryer and your natural parasites( we are all covered in them) get a bit enthusiastic. His recommended treatment was to sit with my head back with a flax stuffed eye mask that had been heated in the microwave for 10 minutes twice a day, followed by careful cleansing of the eye area with special wipes. The heat softened the waxy secretion and the wipes helped to remove excess. Seemed to work, but the act of sitting at work lunchtime with my head back and a hot eye mask was gloriously relaxing. Maybe go to your optician to get their opinion. Jan
Cherry Hart's Vlog was out today and she too was paper pieceing Eli too from Craft House Majic . You can return all e books if you have paid even only pennies.
Very interesting, i have never heard or seen anyone eat baked beans with baked potatoes.
😮 Baked beans on potato is a classic!
Total classic! Baked potato with cheese and beans 🥔 Although I prefer a turkey chilli or something with mine :)
Hoped you enjoyed driving to work in your new car Ali. The fungi looked amazing! I have never seen a red one before, I thought they were only make believe in story books 😳. Just love it when you do vlogtober 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕. Cheers 🥰💕😍🤗❤️😊
Hi message from Sharon. Loving your daily vlogs for October. Look forward to it. Maybe you could try Holland and Barrett for Rose Water?❤
I use coconut oil to remove my makeup. I don't use anything fancy just what you can buy at the grocery store. Then I use makeup remover clothes, I got some from Aldi and additional ones on Amazon. I use the hottest water I can handle to wipe off the oil. It is so much less expensive than makeup remover and my skin has never looked better!
Tula Pink also is good on TH-cam for English paper piecing. She’s a fabric designer.
Hi Alli, Liz Earle Eyebright soothing lotion is what i would recommend. I love all of her products xx
Plain tap water, glycerine soap, rinse and splash many times, pat dry and put on a dermatologist, unscented moisturizer. Have been using this method for over 30 years on a dermatologist advice. No one believes how old I am so hope this works for you.
I loved that book - and now there is a sequel I will have to get (Somewhere Beyond the Sea) after I finish the Addie Larue novel you recommended. Enjoying it very much, so thanks so much for that. I think you mentioned you were going to read the sequel to The Maid, so I was wondering how you liked it? Oh, also Remarkably Bright Creatures was so good! Thank you for your reviews, I find if you liked a book I will too, so I love that for me.
Sorry about your eyes, they do look sore. I have the same problem and the optician recommended a combination of the drops and a heated eye mask used every night. The mask is great and so soothing and has helped my eyes.
I didn’t know about being able to return books you don’t get on with on Audible, so that is really handy to know. Love watching your Vlogtobers again and it was great to see the gorgeous mushrooms.
I have blepharitis, too. I was told by doctors to use baby shampoo to wash around my eyes. It helps but sometimes I need a hydrocortisone cream if the eyelids get itchy.
Thank you for your company Ali, always a joy x
Thank you so much Kelly 🤗 Right back at you xx
Thank you for filming those mushrooms. I've only seen that red one in story books.
Ooooh, those mushrooms. Beautiful! You have encouraged me to get out my EPP and sew togther a few hexies. I did enough hexies that when sewn together will make enouogh fabric to make a Dodgy Bag. I ordered the same needles from Jules at SewSweetViolet that you have and they are amazing!! I'm loving your October vlogs. Thanks for doing them!!
Garnier do a rose water toner, available at boots, there’s also a cleanser
Hi Ali. You can buy rose water in asda. It's with the world foods I believe.
Glad you’ve got your new car. Your seats look like someone with a waistcoat or zipped up gilet is sitting next to you and now I’ve seen it I can’t stop seeing it 😆. They are very nice and snazzy though.
I thought exactly the same! I want to stick googly eyes on to top and maybe a pair of ear warmers 😂
You are so lucky to still have 20/20 vision. My eye doctor told me my eyes will just change in a moments notice once I get in my 40's. Boy was he right!!! 🤓
Same here! And terrible dry eye since hitting menopause too 😢 (literally that emoji is me with my dry eye! Lol)
Hi Ali. I have an eye disease and cannot use any make-up. I discovered early on the rose glycerin was the best cream for my skin. And yes a spritz rose water is very cooling. In The Netherlands, we can buy it from a drug store chain.
Just walked in the woods here and there are so many more toadstools than last year. It was quite magical! 🍄
Thanks Heidi! Yes so many more toadstools here this year too! 🍄
I use cleansing oil on my face, and then use a cleanser like cerave afterwards. I find that really effective and gentle. I use a korean brand like purito/iunik for my skincare where I can. It's very gentle, minimal irritants such as alcohol/fragrance in the products
Just been watching Sandra's (Cherry Heart) latest Quiet Moments, Ali, and she is paper piecing with hexagons!
Oh! I have this queued up to watch - lovely! xx
Hello Ali, so excited you are vlogging. I always watch but don't always comment as I know it is another 'job' for you to acknowledge! You are so good at that. Just wanted to say I suffered with blepharitis after I had my children (30 years ago!) I was referred to Moorfields as my eyes were so itchy and flaky. No make up for a number of months, I had cream but unfortunately cannot remember what. Like you a year or so ago I started using micellar makeup remover and noticed itchy eyelids. I now use Boots own cucumber cleanser and have no issues. Hope it clears soon, I remember how uncomfortable it is. Hope Dan is feeling better soon. Nice seeing his happy smile. Glad Lilia is settling at Uni. Best wishes. 😊
Long time subscriber but I usually watch on TV so can’t comment (watching on my phone now 😊). Love your vlogs and can’t wait for a Mum cameo! 🏴
Aw thanks for commenting! Mum will most definitely pop up at some stage this month I am sure! 🤗
Hi Ali really enjoying your vlogs as always. I have the same problem with my eyes. I find cleansing and moisturising with CeraVe products very helpful. X
Hi Ali, Liz Earle has a lovely Eyebright soothing eye lotion I could recommend and smells wonderful. I’ve been using her products for years and love her Hot cloth cleanser. Hope this helps. 😊 x
Happy Vlogtober, I love watching you and your family. Did you realize that the shirt your wearing matches the seat covers of your new old car? Tell me you did that on purpose. 😂😂
😂 I'm going to day....yes...totally on purpose! 😉
When putting cream on your eyes use your ring finger and tap. The skin around your eyes is delicate so don't rub cream in. Hope your eyes improve
I second kiko sabi for quilting…she does beautiful videos that are relaxing to watch…for cleanser, i recommend cleansing oils instead of things like micellar as its hydrating and removes everything (including sunscreen!). I also double cleanse (i started following a Korean skincare routine), and i have found my skin has settled down and cleared up. But as usual, do a test first cos it all depends on your skin.
I also suffer from dry eyes and my optometrist said it was mainly from not sleeping with my eyes closed completely. Some days its worse than others, particularly in winter. I tend to just use a saline eye drop in the morning and its usually fine for the rest of the day (and this is from a heavy contact/glasses wearer).
Congrats on the new opd car🎉🎉🎉🎉 its always a great feeling! Just wanted to mention seeing as we're on a mushroom topic....... all your years of vlog clips of mushrooms have given me a 🍄 crazy love 😂😂😂😂 We dont get nearly so many varieties of them growing about, so I've settled for buying mushroom stickers to use in journaling every chance i get! Dont think they'll be used up in my lifetime 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can never have too many mushroom stickers! 🤗🍄
I've been following you for so many years but don't really ever comment. Sorry about that. I probably should tell you that I am a huge fan of yours and watch you from Texas, United States 😊
Just wanted to finally leave a comment and tell you how much I love your videos and your sweet family. Also used to love your fringe, you look lovely no matter what, but the fringe feels like it was your thing 😂 Have a wonderful night xoxo
Ah thank you Sandra for saying hello! xx
I use almond oil to remove my make-up, it works great.
Blepharitis - my father’s optician recommends baby shampoo. Particularly on eyelashes as they trap debris.
Love your videos
I don’t usually comment but you are just so real and just your natural voice ❤
Thank you so much 💗
Love that toadstool. Re your eyes- was blepheritus the word you were looking for? If so I have had it for so long I can't exactly remember, 15 or 20 years. I am in my early 70's. It's very annoying even though I am doing what my eye doctor suggested.
I've never heard of a Pomodoro timer and now am down that rabbit hole. First step: place a hold on "The Pomodoro Technique" by Francesco Cirillo (what a great name to say aloud, lol) I love how TH-cam lets me see people from all over the world. It is through seeing how others live that we gain understanding and tolerance of everyone. Thanks for sharing!
I am glad! It helps me to focus more 🍅xx
Hi Ali. Loving your vlogtober vids as per. Regarding your eyes. As someone else has mentioned Liz earle skin products especially her "eyebright" are great. Also available from QVC shopping channel and often on offer. I used it after discovering why my eyes suddenly became sore, dry and even peeling. It took a while to diagnose, turned out it was caused by fumes created from mixing hair dye. ( I am a hairstylist). I had to stop dying hair after years of specialising in colour and colour correction. Also when my son was younger he had blepharitis along his eyelash line. The eyebright used twice a day on a cotton pad as a cooling eye pad cleared it in no time. (better than the prescribed cream). Eyebright is a plant used in that cool, liquid product.... Also, I know you started using a lanolin cream a couple of weeks ago too. Lanolin, although a natural oil from sheep's wool and product used for skin moisturisers , is also a fairly common allergen / irritant causing sore , dry & sometimes burnie feeling skin. I can't use anything lanolin. Hoping you get it sorted so you feel comfortable from sore eyes soon. Looking forward to the rest of your October vlogs. 👁👁🤗X
Also I was told by the doctors to wash my eyes with baby shampoo or baby wash as it is very gentle. This is now all I use and it really does work x
You could Zoom with Suzanne from Green Lambkin--she has done a hexagon EPP Halloween quilt top and is working on a Christmas one. Sins you have finally met, she'd probably love to help you. I learned by watching Jules o Sew Sweet Violet.
Hi Ali I had similar issues with eyes eventually diagnosed with Atopic dermatitis. Prescribed creams which help. I now only use water and the Simple face wash as they said don't use soap.
I still can't pinpoint what sets it off and still get flair ups . At its worst I looked like I'd been in a fight with Mike tyson 😆
I get really dry eye lids its really sore I just use coconut oil to take off make up and it helps with dry and soreness. loving in vlogtober. if you want a good autumn book I'm reading the silent companions by Laura Purcell a bit of gothic fiction.
CeraVe is a good gentle face cleanser that a lot of dermatologists recommend here. They also have a whole line of moisturizers, sunblocks etc…. I was just in the Uk (Faversham) and I did see that Boots in Canterbury has it. Good luck and I am loving vlogtober! It’s my little bit of home here in Massachusetts 😍
