I have watched your videos for years and I feel like you have really blossomed and come nto your own this year. I laughed out loud when you talked about the parcel shelf story. I agree with the sentiment that it's healthy to do our best and not to take ourselves too seriously at the same time.
I totally agree! She has really found her stride and the content seems effortless. I’m sure it’s not low effort on her side, but that’s how it comes across nowadays.
You are killing it with your content rn. I am also in my 30s and this is really missing, bc life is different at 37 than at 25. But still you want to look stylish and part take in some trends…
That will never change. I am in my 70s and still want to be stylish. I mostly wear jeans with a nice top and shoes. Every day I wear makeup, even if I am staying home.
Lily there are a ton of black creators with curly hair. You don’t need to be black to learn from us. 😂 I learned how to do my hair as well as my son’s hair by watching TH-cam.
of course, I was just referring to the content that is served to me on the algorithm, not the content I follow or seek out. But also, feel free to send over any recs, I'm always looking for more! And as I think I tried to get across, it's not really about the curls... I LOVE curls on other people, it's a mental struggle I need to just get through that's personal to me. It's tricky to be vulnerable on the Internet but we all have our own struggles that might seem strange to others.
@@lilypebbles your feelings towards your hair are valid! We’ve all been there. I’m not taking that away from you. Curly hair is hard and takes a ton of time. I was in my 40’s before I started really trying to love my curls. It’s a journey!
I’m a longtime follower Lily & your content at the moment is really fantastic. It’s great to see how happy you are and how you have found your personal style!
I am finding your content so relatable as someone else in her 30s with young kids. It's taken me a while to find myself and my style post-baby. I am so happy to see you happy 😊😊
Hi Lily! I've been working in optics for ages, so let me explain your prescription. You have astigmatism which means the rays of light don't focus in one place on your retinas. The glasses correct this so you can focus properly. The amount of astigmatism you mention is significant and ideally you should be wearing glasses full time. Check with your optician. It might be that your visual acuity is not too bad without correction. Hope this helps!
I’ve been meaning to say for so long that wether it’s been my hearing impairment, needing to watch quietly or because I’m just a subtitle girly I so enjoy that because your speech is so clear and “intentional” the subtitles match so well! Just one of those things I noticed ❤
Re: curly hair. as a non-white viewer (for more than 10 years) with curly hair it is actually really challenging to listen to you talk so negatively about your curly hair. the way you talk about curly hair not looking neat or sharp or nice is extremely hurtful and i also want to bring up the white supremacy inherent in this belief. as a proudly jewish woman, i would hope that you might be able to embrace your curly hair as a gorgeous part of your heritage. instead, you’re leaning into the “straight hair is classy and put together” and “curly hair is unsophisticated and unprofessional” that permeates our culture constantly and marginalizes black women and other women with very curly hair. further, this idea that “most curly content creators only have wavy hair” is another example that you’re only looking for white people and white people’s content. try branching out, and maybe you’ll hate your hair and what it means a little less.
Hi Lily, your glasses suit you so well! Just keep wearing them, you get used to it sooner than you know it.. Makes the face even more interesting 😉 Speaking form experience 🤓
I don't have curly hair, but that conversation can be applied to so many things in life i think. Especially as a woman in a body, that doesn't fit beauty standards. I've been subscribed for 13 years now and i think your content is better than ever. Thank you, Lily!
Hi Lily! Curly girl from Australia here 😊 I have absolutely embraced that I feel more myself with straight hair. On holiday / during Summer here I honestly just pick the days I wet my hair in the pool or ocean. Otherwise it’s up in a bun and I avoid it getting wet, it’s just easier that way! On the days I do want to properly swim, I still wash, dry, straighten and cover in anti humidity spray. KMS does a great one! Good luck xx
It's a lovely cosy autumn afternoon in my part of the world, I've just taken some apple pecan muffins out of the oven, and this video is at the top of my feed... What more could you ask for?? Happy Sunday!
Have you thought about doing keratin smoothing or straightening before your summer holidays? It only lasts for a few months but might soften and smooth your hair enough for the swimming and air drying situation?
I really really suggest you let your hair dry naturally one day with no product (except maybe comb it through with a bit of a leave in conditioner) and see what it does. And then try puttimg it up etc that way to practice
In Singapore I use the COLORWOW DREAM COAT, that did work great for me, but also my hair dryer worked perfectly out there, same electrical voltage I think x
I also have really curly hair and prefer it straight as it’s easier/I don’t have to wash it as often! However, on summer holidays, I admit defeat and embrace the curls (always fun when humid 😂)
The parcel shelf story, love it!! 🤣🤣 Dress for yourself and no one else, the only way to be. Everyone will have an opinion, but there’s nice ways of saying things! Love the Ottoman, looks much more expensive than it is 😍
Lily, I’ve been a fairly quiet viewer for over ten years now but really wanted to say I just love your videos still. Your Instagram post about checking ABCDE of your moles encouraged me to go to the doctor’s and get some checked. I had one on my knee removed - it’s all fine but could have developed into something worse, so just want to thank you for sharing that. Xx
I'm the person w curly hair but it's not curly from the roots. I think we are the "other" curly group you don't take seriously 😂 I totally get why BTW. But no one sees my curls. It goes up in a pony tail the moment it is anywhere close to dryish when we are on holidays. I know you're self conscious about the parts of Hair that don't sit flat from the root but honestly nobody notices or thinks it's strange. It's your hair. As uncomfortable as it may feel having your hair do this, it's totally normal for curly hair not sit flat! You're so authentic lily which is so inspiring. But perfect hair 24/7 is not normal!! Spending lots of time on hair daily is exhausting especially as a mum. So if all you can do is throw it up in a bun, who the f* cares what it looks like. It honestly doesn't matter ❤ oh and I loved the braids era you experienced during your grow out phase. Revert to that!
I haven’t got curly hair but on holiday couldn’t you try putting it in the French plaits you always used to do in the day, then when you take it out at night it shouldn’t be too frizzy?
I have naturally curly hair and am very happy to have it straight for exactly the same reasons as you! I live in humid climate and get Keratin done. Some folks call it hair botox. If you have the products you could even do it at home.
Dear Lily, saw you Uniqlo Video and went there next day because I had to try these build in bra tops. I am also struggling with bigger Loops in summer and what can I say, brought two pieces and where them all the time, so comfy :) I like your style, not all is for me but a appreciate that you don't dress like most other women, so keep on inspiring us :)
Hey Lily 🤗 such a lovely vlog - loved your outfit for your day in London. That facial / products sounded great - I really do need to look at beauty pie 😊 Love the ottoman you found, great idea as you can use as a table, footrest and storage 🩷 xxx
Quick tip for your new ottoman - Dunelm sell a spray to protect furniture fabric. Highly recommend as we have cream sofas and it's been great for them! Edit to point out it's not £150 but £199!
Hello Lily, I love your videos. Just perfect for a Sunday morning. I also love your video and Instagram editing, all pictures are so natural but more perfect. Do you have tricks or tipps for editing pictures? Or filters you use? xx Sophia
I always look forward watching your vlogs, you are so relatable personally as a Mum of two living real life compared to other vlogers with dogs and cats doing luxury unboxing ( no offence to pet lovers). It is so hard to raise next generation and do vlogging at the same time juggling 100 other things. Short hair suits you.
Lily can you please let me know places to go in the south of France? We are going for a week with our 5 year old. Flying to Cannes but hiring a car so planning day trips! Thanks
Loved your Vlog. Loved the car story but also 💷 don't worry you are not the only one!!😊 The footstool is so nice, I want to get rid of mine because it's leather but it constantly needs maintenance and it's so heavy to move. Definitely would buy from Dunelm😁
Loved the video. I relate with curly hair issues too. No denying it. The dining table looks exactly like Anna’s dining area … especially the legs on the table. Nice though
You´re not old. You just need bifocal lenses in your glasses that allow you to see close up and far away :) I have bifocal lenses in both my normal glasses and sunglasses and it´s amazing!
Loving your content lately, Lily! It’s so refreshing to see you, just be you! I have curly hair too but much prefer them straight. Keratin or Botox are great options to keep them straight - I got it done and it had cut down my styling time, number of products by like 80%! Totally worth getting it done every 4-6 months.
That looked like Walton Street you were walking down……You passed Blue Almond which is a baby store Kate Middleton went to when pregnant with George (just one of the million random unimportant facts I know 😂😂😂)
I learned that if you’re gonna have eye surgery it really should be done in your 20s. Less of a point when you’re older because your eyesight is going to change as you get older anyways.
Exactly the same issue with my curly hair on holiday - I have a straightening brush which takes no time especially when I have my hair very short. I have the tymo one
-2.25 is bad! I’m the same and I feel your pain!! I got contacts about 6 months and it’s life changing, I can put them in in less than 60 seconds now! However glasses really suit you too!! ❤
Lily you need to get on the vintage vibe! ;) so much better quality, value and more unique for dining tables - I've seen the one you showed in a million Instagram ads, I think you might get bored of it.

Been watching TH-cam for 14 years but you are the only content creator that I would be sure to watch whenever you upload ! Go Lily ❤

@@happytx1860you can be stylish at any age. You dont need an influencer telling you what to wear or how to act.

The car story at the end 🤣🤣
Could it be that the creators you're watching are mainly white? I think you could find your curl pattern more like yours among women of color
This little jaunt around London with Emma was so fun! Love living vicariously through my city bloggers ❤
The parcel shelf story is the best! Love it!! I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog very much!!! ❤
Just love your content right now. Always have, but you’re one of the only influencers I still watch.
An amazing creator with truly curly hair is Manes by Mell. She's great at breaking down everything curly.
Yes I recommended her too on a previous video
Echoing this! She’s great and often does tutorials for all hair types. Learned so much from Mel
Have you thought about doing keratin smoothing or straightening before your summer holidays? It only lasts for a few months but might soften and smooth your hair enough for the swimming and air drying situation?
Absolutely love watching your videos, it’s like catching up with an old friend! ❤
I really really suggest you let your hair dry naturally one day with no product (except maybe comb it through with a bit of a leave in conditioner) and see what it does. And then try puttimg it up etc that way to practice
Your glasses look fantastic on you!!

Cute phone case you got there 😌

I haven’t got curly hair but on holiday couldn’t you try putting it in the French plaits you always used to do in the day, then when you take it out at night it shouldn’t be too frizzy?
So happy for you and your ottoman!! Also, husband and I devastated for you over your parcel shelf 😂

On summer hols just embrace the curls. It’s so much easier than straightening all the time. Anything goes on holiday

Thank you Lily, really enjoyed this video. You are a ray of sunshine on my Sunday morning. X
Omg where is the green dotted dress from Emma was shopping for?😍
Zara
@@lilypebbles thank you!
Morning! Going to Suffolk for the first time in the summer hols with the kids, any tips/suggestions, thanks x
From Medik8 for all ladies over 35 I highly recommend their Liquid Peptides serum - hydrating and powerful slow-aging peptides mix
you are so sweet Lily. I love your videos ❤❤❤❤
Hi Lilly, have you done any reno or update in your living room since your last video?
Sweed Mascara is one of the best. Sam Chapman put me on to it about 1 year ago & let's face it, Sam is a goddess.
Quick tip for your new ottoman - Dunelm sell a spray to protect furniture fabric. Highly recommend as we have cream sofas and it's been great for them!
Edit to point out it's not £150 but £199!
Ooh do you know what the spray is called? Thanks
We don't all love Lydia I'm afraid. Boilergate was a step too far.
🤣 What is boilergate ? I stopped watching her when she started her obsession with green houses ....
People make mistakes and then move on are you all flawless?
Loved this video as ever 😊 You mentioned the kids dinner in the air fryer, would love some air fryer recipes from you!
Hello Lily, I love your videos. Just perfect for a Sunday morning. I also love your video and Instagram editing, all pictures are so natural but more perfect. Do you have tricks or tipps for editing pictures? Or filters you use? xx Sophia
I got laser eye surgery 5 years ago and it was the best thing ever

Short hair suits you.
Your joy with the Ottoman was so good 😍😍😍
Hi Lily!!
I genuinely love you 😂 and love your content!!
ps. The ottoman is beautiful!!!! I want it too 😂😂
Sarriette is an aromatic plant that looks like thyme and mostly used in cooking…savory in English.
You look soo good with the short hair and glasses 😊
Lily can you please let me know places to go in the south of France? We are going for a week with our 5 year old. Flying to Cannes but hiring a car so planning day trips! Thanks

I don't know if it's the haircut or what, but you're glowing!
I love the urgency to get the legs on before the kids get home!! 😂
I just love your content ❤ and I have since.. uni? 🤣🙈 we are getting old together and I love it! ❤
Loved the bit about the car 🚗 😅 also that ottoman 👌
Loved the video. I relate with curly hair issues too. No denying it. The dining table looks exactly like Anna’s dining area … especially the legs on the table. Nice though
Lol lol that car story! Love your vids ❤
The ottoman is AMAZING. What a great find. I would just buy a more modern legs and switch it.
Loved this video! Also ordered the ottoman 😊
On holidays, my hair is usually in a bun for beach/swim days.
Great ottoman, Dunelmn is killing it. Their sideboards are amazing with affordable prices.
Love your lip combo!!
Hey Lily ! Love your content !
By the way, Romarin is indeed Rosemary :)
You´re not old. You just need bifocal lenses in your glasses that allow you to see close up and far away :) I have bifocal lenses in both my normal glasses and sunglasses and it´s amazing!
love the rental car story! 😂🎉

I learned that if you’re gonna have eye surgery it really should be done in your 20s. Less of a point when you’re older because your eyesight is going to change as you get older anyways.
haha love the chaotic energy at the end. i always feel like that trying to get the one last thing done before my kid is back:)
always! lol
Love the ottoman. Great price too.
Lovely vlog. You are looking radiant and beautiful. 😊
Emma's smile 😄
Love your videos!! ❤
Do you speak some French then? I'm constantly in the process of trying to improve mine but it's hard lol
Throw a nice throw/blanket over the chair 😉
As a long term optometrist and viewer you would be good as a contact lens patient 😎 But I also think glasses really suit you 🤷🏼♀️
The ottoman is gorgeous, good find
Exactly the same issue with my curly hair on holiday - I have a straightening brush which takes no time especially when I have my hair very short. I have the tymo one
Love the new ottoman, have you watched Paige wassel’s TH-cam channel? She does a lot of videos about home decor that I think you would like
Another Smasher Lily 😊...you realise you are 35 when you get excited about someone unboxing an ottoman ...😮
Women are able to do anything that men can do - including making mistakes!!!
why not use a swimming cap. not the nicest but good for a couple of says
It means that you can not see without glasses! Jesus, 😅im not that blind but i can not go out without glasses 😅😅 btw i prefer the short hair.❤❤
-2.25 is bad! I’m the same and I feel your pain!! I got contacts about 6 months and it’s life changing, I can put them in in less than 60 seconds now! However glasses really suit you too!! ❤
