One of the things that has kept me coming back to your channel is how knowledgeable you are about brands, formulation, and dupes. I love when you explain that the same makers are behind luxury and affordable brands, and how honest you are with your commentary on products (packaging, formulation, cost). Also I love your personality and your vlogs, I am glad you are doing well Fleur, lots of love to you, Mike, Riv and the doggos
I have been watching Fate: The Winx Saga and I feel the same way! It’s just entertaining enough to keep me interested but it’s not an epic story. What I’m really into at the moment is Nancy Drew. I couldn’t get into the books as a kid but I am really loving the tv show.
Well done Fleur, I don’t know if it’s just me but I sense your trepidation in putting content out but it’s just nice to see you owning your life and moving forward x
After all of the negative comments on her last post, I'm happy to see some people saying something positive. Fleur has a good head on her shoulders and that's something we ALL know. She listens to her subscribers, she is extremely honest, and successful. She CARES about what you all think, I'm sure it was hurtful to read all of that. She did not deserve that berating. If you've watched her advance on You Tube, you know she's made a name for herself and been very successful outside of You Tube too. We should be proud of her for that. Most of her videos, she puts them up knowing that a lot of us watch them to get some kind of cheer in our day, and people just sit behind their screens and decide they can pick her apart?
Have you tried the Beautystat vitamin c cream? It’s so good, and the packaging great, it’s in an air tight pump. I’ve seen it recommended by several derms and aestheticians. And for anyone reading this, it retails for around $80 but I’ve always been able to find a coupon code for a significant discount.
Reading is a goal of mine too. Last year seems like it should have been a time for reading more but I didn't and wasn't able to finish more than a few chapters. This year I plan on changing that! ❤️
Was so happy to see you in my feed! And totally going to take your book recommendations! I would love to hear how your goal of reading more goes this year - it's one of my goals as well😊
Hey Fleur, so glad you are reading A Discovery of Witches. I have read the book a few times and it never gets old. Shadow of Night is the second book, and The Book of Life is the third. Yes, there is another book which is mainly about other characters in the series. Deborah Harkness is in the middle of writing a new book for the series.
Eeeekkkkk!!!! I’ve missed your face!!!! To anyone else watching this, happy Monday!! Let’s smash the week.. we’re all in this together😋 stay safe and remember to keep smiling, lots of love a small time TH-camr trying to spread positivity❤️
Have you heard of The Story Graph? If you want to keep track of your reading it's a Black-owned alternative to Goodreads (which is owned by Amazon), and in my opinion, way better as you can include trigger warnings, mark books as DNF (did not finish), and rate books with .25 and .5 within the 5 star system.
Hi Fleur, hope you’re well. I have a question completely unrelated to this vlog.....I remember you said you mama runs a vintage jewellery business. Do you have a link for her website/ insta please? Thanks x
So nice to see you! Love the video and the waffling and all of your suggestions. This is the first TH-cam video I have watched in a month- thank you 🥰 Your life is your own- keep living it ❤️
Welcome back we missed you. I love the new setup!!!!! absolutely loved the Discovery witches, I've binge ,the whole of season 2 in a weekend. I can't wait for season 3. 💗💗
Hey Fleur, just a little recommendation for River if you are interested. my little one has crazy beautiful curly hair and for past 2 years I have been using Curly Ellie products they are really good, the leave in conditioner, detangle spray and the serum are great, the rest are okay.
You might find Goodreads app helpful, you can log what you have read or reading and even set yourself a reading challenge. Have you read a book called The Poison Artist by Jonathan Moore? As you like crime/ thrillers you might enjoy it.
I wasn't a fan of Fate or Bridgerton lol. BUT a show that my husband and I loved was Hilda! A story of a young, adventurous girl who befriends all sorts of creatures on her journey to explore. It was so great!
I just want to say how much I love your editing. I’ve been watching you for years but it’s so refreshing to have a channel where it feels like you’re chatting with a friend and nothing is too over-produced but we still get an in-depth explanation and close-ups. Great job, Fleur! 💖
Do you wet her hair before brushing it? I have curly hair and I sometimes wash it at night as well.. but in the morning I wet it before brushing it because it increases breakage. Also you could look up the curly girl method (I don't follow it fully) but there are great tips you could use on River to keep her lovely curls.
OMG yes Fate!! I have so much nostalgia for the Winx Club original tv show, and I loved the Netflix “Fate” adaption!! A little dark, a little gimmicky, a little spicy. Also the fact that you even mentioned this show is a perfect example of why I’ve been subscribed to your channel for over 10 years. You’re so in tune to the things I watch/use/read!
If you love the ADOW show, you are going to absolutely adore the books!!!! I am on my 3rd or 4th reread, they’re like a hug. The second book, which is what the current season is based on, is probably my favorite. Enjoy!
The best, non-greasy hand cream out there is the Lollia range from Margot Elena! I swear by it. You can get it on Amazon in a ton of different fragrances, and it's the only hand cream I've found that ACTUALLY absorbs within seconds. Run, don't walk!
Love to watch your favourites, love to watch your videos in general! ♥️ So happy to see this in my inbox this evening. I’m going to have a lovely cup of tea now and indulge! 💕💕
I love that you continue to do product reviews and talk about all different kinds of brands 💜 These videos are super informative and much, much appreciated.
I LOVE the Discovery of Witches trilogy of books (and Time’s Convert - the bonus book about Marcus) - so glad you are diving back into the book series:). I have also been watching the tv series and enjoying it as well!
Fantastic to see a new vlog! I haven't seen the second season of Discovery of Witches yet because I don't have that cable channel but I am sooooo psyched to see it eventually!
I love Deborah Hackness and A Discovery Of Witches and Times Convert! I'm so glad they made the series! 😇 I also loved Fate too! Good choices! I highly recommend Shadow and Bone which is a book series also coming to Netflix the end of April, its got Ben Barnes in it! The books are amazing kf you like kind of fantasy dystopia books! Happy reading! xx
Hi Fleur, just wondering if you’ve ever tried Nursem hand cream? I’m so fussy about hand cream and it’s the best I’ve ever used! Plus they give free hand cream to NHS nurses and midwives, win win!
Hi Fleur. Indeed for your lips, Yes for me. Aveeno, Mom was a Pediatric nurse so she would recommend Aveeno to their patients. Keith is a reader. Like you use to a lot as a child, he was a military brat so the Bates family was Station in Germany and France where Keith read alot. TV here is terrible, repeating, repeating and repeating. Need to start reading again. Good to see you. Joan Bates
I was looking at A Discovery of Witches on audible but it did not get very good reviews but you’ve inspired me to give it a go anyways! I loved Harry Potter and Twilight growing up so hopefully it’ll give me some nostalgia if nothing else 😄
Haha! I agree about Winx saga. So inane and so many plot holes and so predictable but watched the whole thing lol! Will try Discovery of Witches, thanks for the recommendation.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and hence, it must be in a sealed bottle/packaging with no access for air and light. The cream in a jar packaging is probably already pointless from vit C perspective 🤷♀️
@@FleurDeForce please make a video on how you are doing in terms of health 🙏my gf had the same problem as you, curious to learn how you are doing and what have been effective for you
Hey! I don't think I'll make a video on it as I'm certainly no expert and the situation/condition is ongoing BUT I'm happy to share that I've finally got my levels going in the right direction following 6 months of negative progress. As so many people said, it was a case of trial and error till the dose seemed to be effective. Sadly (as I'm sure you know if your gf has issues too!) thyroid issues are usually life-long so it's something I'll probably be dealing with for the rest of my life. It's also really hard to tell when it comes to diet and lifestyle, how much effect it has vs the change just being made by the medication - as you don't know what your body would have done otherwise if you get what I mean! To be really honest, it's been a hell of a journey. I never fully appreciated how big of an effect your thyroid has on your body and most of all mental health. It's been a journey, but one which HOPEFULLY I'm somewhat back in control of - fingers crossed!
Happy to see you again 😍... I would like to recommend a brush that helps a lot , my hair and my friend’s hair is crazy very crazy , yet we love our curls this brush helps styling a curly hair in a very gentle way it somehow defines the curls , my friend told me about it and I didn’t believe it until I saw Her hair....now I’m gonna have it ...the brush is called Denman brush for curly hail. Loved the video and enjoyed it , 😊 thank you
Ooh thanks for the recommendation - will definitely look into it! at the moment we try to use a wide tooth comb and only a brush when it really needs it - she also HATES having her hair brushed which is fun :S haha xx
So happy to hear that you're making more time for reading! Please keep sharing what books you pick up this year, as I feel like we have similar taste. If you're in need of another epic series after you finish A Discovery of Witches, I cannot recommend the "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series by Sarah J. Maas enough! It also gave me that same feeling of reading Harry Potter, Twilight, A Discovery of Witches, etc. where you get so invested in the story that you just *have* to devour the story as soon as possible.
One of the things that has kept me coming back to your channel is how knowledgeable you are about brands, formulation, and dupes.

Thank you so much ❤️
@@FleurDeForce I couldn't have said it better!
Your favorites are always the best 🥳
For dry skin use La Roche Posay Cicaplast hand cream that repairs the skin barrier.
I LOOOOVE A Discovery of Witches. I feel like we waited forever for Season 2, so glad to have it back!
I have been watching Fate: The Winx Saga and I feel the same way! It’s just entertaining enough to keep me interested but it’s not an epic story. What I’m really into at the moment is Nancy Drew. I couldn’t get into the books as a kid but I am really loving the tv show.
I thought the next video would be a Dubai vlog 🤭🤭🤭
Stop being salty, it's not good for you.
She's said sorry...no need to flog a dead horse 🤷♀️
When did she go there??
@@BlondPumpkins neither is travelling in a pandemic.
I loved this so much for its waffliness
SVR is indeed a french pharmacy brand ;-) Thanks a lot for this video Fleur, it's cheering up and that's very much needed right now ;-)
Had no idea you were a murderino and I just got so excited!! The crime junkies podcast is my current podcast obsession
Loved FATE THE WIX SAGA! Totally filled a tv show void 💕
Well done Fleur, I don’t know if it’s just me but I sense your trepidation in putting content out but it’s just nice to see you owning your life and moving forward x
What colour have you painted the walls in this room. It looks great! X
i realize it is quite off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new series online?
River on your story lately has been the damn cutest thing in the world. You and Mike and River are so sweet together
Thank you!

I’m glad you are back, but watched for 7 years and you seem sad/ quarantine depressed. Hope you feel better FLeur, you’re such a light.
Reading is a goal of mine too. Last year seems like it should have been a time for reading more but I didn't and wasn't able to finish more than a few chapters. This year I plan on changing that! ❤️
Yay glad you’re back! 😍💖
I love A Discovery of Witches AND Bridgerton 😁 My current guilty pleasure is Bling Empire.......if you watched Selling Sunset, give this a go.

The Cicaplast handcream by La Roche Posay absorbs right into the skin and isnt oily, so nice!
You've certainly been missed, Fleur! Welcome back!!!
Yay, thank you!
Sending everyone a huge hug. Be safe and feel loved

Bedroom in the background looks beautiful!
Thank you!! x
I get dry legs and I have since I was a little girl! It is definitely a thing. :)
Use ur old fragrances as a room spray u can still enjoy them. And another fragrance from Aerin. Is evening rose
Missed your videos! So glad you’re back 😻
I was so happy & excited to see you had a new video, and I definitely wasn't disappointed! ❤️

Nitpicky but i usually like how you always put up the price on screen.
I'm sorry - I was in a rush to get this edited in time today - the details on screen will be back after this video I promise! x
@@FleurDeForce glad you are back!
This sounds like its on fast forward.. you sound different.
Welcome back we missed you. I love the new setup!!!!! absolutely loved the Discovery witches, I've binge ,the whole of season 2 in a weekend. I can't wait for season 3. 💗💗
Thank you! I can't WAIT for season 3!! Let's hope it's not another 2 years - such a brilliant show!
I LOVE A Discovery of Witches!
Glad to see you again, all the best
Ps bedroom looks really stylish 🤗

That's the range we already use for washing riv's hair actually! :) really like it. xx
Hey Fluer, try American gods on Amazon if you haven't already. Its so good!
I adored a Discovery of Witches so much!
You should try the body shop hemp hand cream. Much cheaper and it’s amazing.
I swear by the hemp hand cream!
Did not work on me at all
I like the Weleda Skin Food

Need to get that lip oil! You’ve never steered me wrong with your favourites recommendations
The way her eyes are always looking in this video, reminds me of Lie to me
I wasn't a fan of Fate or Bridgerton lol. BUT a show that my husband and I loved was Hilda! A story of a young, adventurous girl who befriends all sorts of creatures on her journey to explore. It was so great!
If you have any tatcha products you can use the little spoon to scoop out the vitamin C cream
Am I tripping here or does Fleur look like Christina Wolfe's twin sister?
I just want to say how much I love your editing. I’ve been watching you for years but it’s so refreshing to have a channel where it feels like you’re chatting with a friend and nothing is too over-produced but we still get an in-depth explanation and close-ups. Great job, Fleur! 💖
Fun fact! That feeling you get where you suddenly see something everywhere (Like the book Untamed) is called the Baader-Meinhoff phenomenon
Loving this makeup look Fleur would love a tutorial on this! Love that you include books in your favourite hauls. Lots of love to you and your family
Good to have you back😊✨
I love the Medik8 vitamin C moisturizer. I think it is similar.
And with handcream. I use it and then dry the excess with a towel.
Missed you! Settling in to hear your favs! 💕
Welcome back Fleur, missed you!! 👸🏼🤩😘
