it’s so weird to hear you say u don’t really like vlogging cuz i literally click into youtube to see if you’ve uploaded a vlog 😂 it’s like my top favorite video to watch overall. i also like when you explain ur recipes lol ❤️❤️❤️love you helen
So incredibly relatable when you talk about being in your late 20s and wondering "oh SHIT am I doing enough? Am I getting allllll the goodness out of life while I can?" I feel this on a deep level all the time (I'm 28 and also work from home!)
I personally prefer your more “mundane” vlogs. I can’t afford holidays, or going on trips every day. It sounds silly, but I tend to avoid watching videos of people living “luxury” lives because it just reminds me of what I’m not doing - I just can’t relate. It makes me feel better watching people doing every day, ‘average’, stuff. I understand you wanting to do more exciting stuff though, as that’s what probably gets the views :-)
I can honestly say I really enjoy your blogs. I enjoy seeing someone who is their own boss motivate themself to work out, get work done, tidy the house, etc. not to mention you cover so many topics. For people who find adulting hard or feel lost adulting I feel like you are truly motivating and encouraging. I enjoy them a lot actually.
I've seen you do a few hikes over the last few months, it could be nice to see you do videos around that. Like, your favourite places to go, how you prepare, what you bring with you. It could be really picturesque. It really motivates me seeing you getting out to give it a go myself
You are literally the only vlogger I NEVER tire of. I love putting your videos on and getting my productive on. I’m 27 and a hairstylist and I still wonder what I’m doing and contemplate moving to a new country to a meadow where I paint all day and only see people when I want to. My husband is 31, IT career and still second guesses his life all the time. I think it must be normal. As for new ideas, I like the idea of doing travel advice around the uk. I’ve never been and have always dreamed of visiting. I love seeing how native people enjoy where they are from and exploring their own countries. Love you though and your content. Even I it’s just over the Internet.
Me and my partner are having the same life crisis and we work 'normal' jobs. I think it's just our age, we've finished our studies, got settled and we're like ".... Now what?" 😂
Just to let you know, I really enjoy your day to day type vlogs, it's just nice to know how other people spend their normal life. I don't work anymore as I'm now disabled and it's really grounding to watch people who aren't pretending that their life is a whirlwind adventure constantly. It makes you very real. But you should make whatever content makes you happy... 😊
I binge watch your vlogs when I'm cleaning my room or tidying or just chilling out! In terms of vloggy videos love seeing your food hauls, cleaning tips and just general life bits. I think whatever you decide to do, we'll still be here viewing your content because we love you! xx
I honestly love how real you are. Like I don’t feel like you sugar coat stuff your just like completely yourself! I never watch your videos and feel like it’s a curated version of your life. You’re very open about when your feeling shit & I love that! I love watching your vlogs that are just your normal day it’s relatable & real! I love when you upload! Just keep doing you babes!
Your vlogs are actually my favourites! I think there’s just something really comforting/relaxing about watching someone you like pottering about, living their life... I like when you include a bit of cooking that’s always interesting too. I remember you once did a vid about going on a weekend trip to London on your own... that was really good and made me feel a bit braver about getting out and about on my own xx
Helen, your vlogs are my absolute favorite. I don't care if there's "no point" to the video or if you don't really do anything. I just love watching them!
Stopping mid video to tell you that I love your vlogs!! I enjoy those more than the stuff you put on your main page 🤣 even if it’s just a very ordinary day! You’re the only vlogger I religiously watch and actually look for! Don’t stop the daily vlogs!!
I love your vlogs. I feel like I won’t be alone in saying I like the laid back way you film them. It’s so relaxing and feels like you’re just hanging out with a friend and getting to know you :) also watching you go to boot camp motivates me to get out to the gym myself.
I love your vlogs to bits! Honestly you're my absolute favorite vlogger I love seeing your life no matter how mundane you think it is. You give me confidence, keep being you 💗
It is so supportive to hear how you feel, it makes some of us feel less alone/crazy for feeling the same way about life. Also I love your vlogs when you enjoy doing them!
I watch your videos because of your fashion sense! Maybe try and incorporating more about your daily outfits since it matches the theme of the channel.
Don't know why but I love the vlogs where you're just getting on with your daily chores - it really motivates me! I find your lifestyle really aspirational (not your job but your home, dogs and fitness) so when I see you being so motivated and getting on with stuff, it makes me wanna get off the sofa and be organised too. In terms of travel, I definitely think you should do it more. If you get that itch, you just have to scratch it or you'll always be wondering what if. You don't have to sell everything and move abroad, but going on several 2 week trips a year will give you that zest for life I think you're missing. Plus when you go away, it makes you appreciate what you have at home so much more too (take this from someone who went backpacking alone for 9 months!) xx
Honestly I miss your day to day vlogs. I just can't relate with the hikes, premieres, festivals etc and the travelling, but I love watching your old vlogs showing what you were eating, shopping, etc
I absolutely love your vlogs, I love all of your content (especially fashion content because your style is lush) but your vlogs are so cosy and homely and there’s just something about them that means they’re my favourite things to watch ❤️
I think doing some small documentaries would be amazing. I think it's fair to say that we all watch you for YOU, whatever you record we'll be there for it. A day in the life of someone else, ghost exploring, travel videos, fashion stuff, how it's made, interviews, etc. you'd be awesome at anything. Also I'm so stoked you are finally coming to Canada!!! P.S. there is totally such thing as a quarter life crisis.
I love love love your vlogs so much, even just the every day “boring” (which they’re not imo) but those are my favorites! I feel like I get to hang with Helen for a bit 🤘🏼✨
Helen, what you said about feeling unsure with what you're doing in life atm really struck a cord with me - I'm the same age as you and from England, but I live abroad. What you said about living abroad and travelling and not wanting to 'settle' with things too quickly is how I have always felt. However, what I've found is that wherever you are in the world, life is pretty much the same. So whether you're in Norwich or anywhere else, while the experiences will be different, life just continues (usually) as normal. The biggest thing to consider is if you're happy with the people around you, as for me, this is the most important thing in life. From the outside, many of my friends and family think i'm living this amazing life abroad and experiencing new things, but actually want I most want is to be around the people I love and this isn't always possible when you're away from 'home'. Jobs come and go, partners come and go and living situations will often change, but family and friends are very important. Over the past 18 months I've come to realise that there will always be someone else with a better life, better circumstances, better material things, better experiences, but that's not to say that what you're living through is 'wrong' or 'settled' or 'mundane', it's just the right lifestyle for you. We live in a world where we all need to be 'boss b*tches' and 'hustle' and always be the best that we can be and while this has been great for some, it's not always necessary to live by the same mantra. Chin up girl, you're way more interesting than 99% of people on TH-cam, your content is always great to watch and you're well loved by your subscribers - but I don't think anyone would hold a grudge if you did what was right for you.
I absolutely LOVE your vlogs. Even watching you go about your day at home is super fun and relaxing to me. I love watching you because you’re so normal and relatable, and you talk openly and honestly about things. Keep doing you!
As the bag wasn’t actually linked in the description, I have found it for anyone else who was curious x www.notonthehighstreet.com/lrmgoods/product/bella-cross-body-bag
You’re definitely not alone- I’ve felt uninspired and unmotivated the past few months and just a few weeks ago, it’s done a complete 180. Hope it picks up soon for u too, but don’t beat yourself up over it 💕 We’re all human and we all go at our own pace. I got a lot of work done in July, and I’m excited for my birthday this month 🥰
That’s the beauty of vlogs- they are about someone’s life and how they live that’s usually quite mundane but that’s the beauty of it! It’s like watching Neighbours nothing never really happens but you find the comfort in watching someone’s real life that’s not contrived and false. Ps I’ve got a mavic 2 pro and I’m terrified of using it because sometimes it looses signal and weather conditions have to be good which is a rarity in the uk - there is a go home function if signal is lost so DJI have thought of everything but still it’s very stressful 😂
Love the recent style stuff like size 14 and the insta videos ! I find it really helpful as a curvy lady to find out what brands cater to that correctly! Also love the vlogs as always 💗💗💗
Love watching ur videos!! I’ve been watching for years now! Just some ideas and feedback. I liked the videos of you decorating ur home. The garden and painting the mountains gave me inspiration! Maybe some DIY projects? Vacation and documentaries sounds awesome! Dog day? I have two dogs and it would be so cute to see u spend a day doing doggie things, going to dog friendly places. Meals are always great to see, they make me want to cook more. Always love ur style and clothes videos too! I love hearing about ur mental health, I struggle so it’s great to know how u deal. Keep it up girl!
Totaly love your look in this video! Also, take your time to figure out what you truly want to do. We can wait for it and it's probably going to be bomb when you've figured it out🙌
YES to mini documentary formats, I really like when you get creative with your videos. I also like the unpolished and mundane vlogs, not sure why but there is certainly an appeal to it x
I think you should travel, Helen. You have the opportunity to work while you travel, make the most of that in case it no longer becomes possible. Could see your channel developing into a travel/experience place in addition to what you do now :D
Helen, I love your vlogs! Always have done since the beginning. Even if there's a video on this channel where it might not be something I'd watch, I always watch anyway cos it's you! x
Id love to see a youtuber do like an exploration of different cities in the UK series but not like the boring tourist stuff but the odd and really hidden places that nobody but locals tend to know about! And I think some like you would do such an amazing job of showing things like that! 🖤
You have inspired me so much to be myself and not care about what anyone else thinks. You are amazing and i love your fashion videos and watching you create outfits. I would love to see some more of your art or things that you have created. Best of luck in your vlogging journey!
I love your vlogs and don't find them boring at all! Your vlogs show alot of ups and downs and real life situations which are relatable. I also find that with some situations you come across, showing in your vlogs, people can learn from. 😊
Would love to see you do some mini documentaries! Also some challenges maybe.... such as drive until you run out of petrol and the place you end up in is where you stay for the night and explore! Or book yourself a holiday the day before and just go.... We watch everything for you Helen! Also dare you to dye your hair lilac xx
So in the end of july I came up my job and I get off London. I came back to my country, Poland because I wanna study in the university. So now I’m in home and I’m chilling. I wanna be ready in October to start my new life in completely new city. I’m so excited! In August I’ll try be focus to do some excercises
I LOVE your vlogs the best, and I imagine that I am similar to others who watch, not necessarily for content, but more for you as a person. Love the sound of travel vlogs/videos too! X
Day in the life of all sorts of people’s careers, from nurses , teacher, nail technician, gym instructor you name it documentary styles, Helen meets ..... 👍
Your comments about working in a bubble are so relatable! I run a fashion accessories business from home and have more than a few freak outs about whether I’m on the right track! Definitely enjoy your content while I sew 😘
Hi for the times you are feeling awful, I don't know if you know already but Gin can be a depressant which could add to or even cause you pending doom feeling. I'd advise avoiding gin altogether if you feel really low often or each month. even if you switch to a different drink. also excesses of alcohol can do this too.
Have you ever considered seeing a therapist, if you aren’t already? Being able to talk to one has given me tools to deal with those moments I have that seem like what you described. It’s fine to know WHATS wrong but knowing how to finally handle them has been a HUGE help.
I dont know if it helps or if Im being one more but...you've been a HUGE inspiration for me! Im a puertorican that migrated to the states cuz of the storn and I love your type of content and your atittude/style! Ive been to london/england and the download festival as well! You have helped me push my comfort zone in terms of fashion and see things from a different point of view! Your vids are so natural and organic! Love it! Keep it up! I wish I could have a channel like yours 🤩
Not gonna lie Helen, i LOVE watching your vlogs... just your normal day to day vlogs, i do looove to just unwind to those! Don't know why watching someone elses life is really interesting but it is lol. But hope you find something that inspires you again soon! Got to do what feels right and what's best for you! Ps love your hair in this xox
I much prefer more casual vlogs! The ones that are super polished feel kind of fake? Like so far from "real life" I can't relate. It's really nice to feel like I'm hanging out with you after a long day or whatever.
Travel. Travel. Travel. I'm 34, just had my third baby, and seriously regret not doing more traveling with my partner in the 4 years before having kid's (also not doing other thing's before kid's also). Plus travel vlogs are great! I really love watching your everyday 'mundane' vlogs. Them & Zoella's very rarely uploaded one's, are the only vlogs I Have To Watch.
I love your vlogs even the mundane ones I wouldnt want you to stop making them but whatever makes you feel inspired I think from my perspective i watch them because they’re relatable like sometimes when i need to get motivated to do housework i watch your housework ones same with working from home Otherwise if im getting pumped for a weekend out i watch your partying ones Theres something soothing about taking time out from your own life and observing someone elses kind of like watching a documentary
Would you do more interior design videos? get subscribers involved (room makeovers on a budget??). Don’t worry about your daily vlogs - just film when you’re able to :) Perhaps you could do melonlady tripadviser vlogs - mini U.K. travel vlogs - the Norwich idea is good & you could do this for different national trust houses! :)
I love your vlogs and over the last month ive become obsessed with your style and lifestyle. I would love to see more travel, garden, interior on your channel. ❤
I think we all go through a bit of existentialism in our late twenties, wondering what we're doing with our lives. But change is definitely good, especially when you've been doing something for a long time, I recently left a place I'd worked for 15 years and I'm so glad I did it as its giving me a new lease of life! (not saying you should quit youtube though ;))
I would like to see a video about how do you look after your mental health and what kind of things you do , like if you journal or meditate or do yoga or anything? Or if you track your moods somehow. Love your videos. Especially the days out ones and these chatty ones and your style ones. Keep being awesome and doing what you love. X
I absolutely love your vlogs! I love your personality, your style, your aesthetics, you're a gorgeous and inspiring person, I honestly enjoy your everyday life vlogs so much!
I love watching your videos as you’re super so real and your vlogs are tons of fun to watch! I’d love to see documentary style vlogs and themes for your vlogs. 🤷🏼♀️ I don’t know, do what makes you happy girl, scratch that travel itch!
Love your vlogs! If I where you I wouldn't worry too much about them. To me they are shot beautifully, fun, honest, and never boring cause you're such a loveable relatable person. Think of vlogs like chilling with your friends, not everything has to be perfect cause you're in good company. For example even if me and my best friend have nothing to talk about, we still enjoy being in each others presence. I love hearing you talk about your day when I put on my makeup in the morning of when I cook my diner. For your regular video's I'm positive your creativity will take you far. Portraits of other people sounds cool, maybe you could do interviews with musicians or other people that inspire you? Style swaps, diy decor 'tutorials', how to write a song, thrift items you saw in regular shops, cant think of much at the moment, but I'm sure you'll find a good flow. Oh yeah, my fav thing in July was performing at a big festival with my friends and I'm looking forward to having a fun day with my sister in August. :)
I love your vlogs Helen!!!! And judging by the comments a lot of your other followers do to. You are the most none boringest and none mundane person! ❤️
I look forward to every video you post, I enjoy your vlogs more than the clothe try ons but that’s only because we have the complete opposite style haha but I still watch those videos! I think travel vlogs would be a really cool idea! 🌞
What about if you tried volunteering days? E.g. volunteering at a local zoo, volunteering at a soup kitchen etc. Could be something for your vlogs to inspire you and other people, plus making a profound difference x
I am getting Helena Bonham Carter vibes from you with those sunnnies! Your makeup today is so lively ! (Please don’t take that the wrong way, it’s just that the colors are so bright and subtle but also sort of in your face? I sound like a mess, but the makeup is super flattering and really makes your eyes pop.)
I'm sorry....I do have to tell you are doing a great job. Here's why. I've been living with terminal cancer 8 yrs (metastatic breast cancer) Which is awesome Because A. I shouldn't still be alive, and B. I'm doing pretty good right now. But YOU are killing it every time you upload. I love your content, you give me something to look forward to, and your content makes me happy. It is great to see into your live and see your progress and journey. Thanks for all the sharing you do
I don't mean to be a party p***er but please be advised that Canada has recently passed a law were you need a pilot's licence to use a drone, i am not kidding because a drone is considered a small aircraft (and it can really hurt people if mishandled) & if you fly a drone in Canada without the proper licence you could be fined 5000$ so please look into it if you were going to bring it, because i heard you say "this is gonna make the Canada vlogs epic" ... Also where in Canada are you coming? It's a big country! I definitely recommend Vancouver & Montréal! 💜
Hope you’ll see this Helen 💕Even though you said you didn’t need people saying you are doing well, I feel that there’s something I want to say that maybe would encourage and inspire you. I feel like... the impact that this chill everyday style of blogging has on your audience shouldn’t be underestimated. I can totally understand why you can feel like there’s nothing interesting in vlogs or like they’re boring and nothing really happens in those videos etc. BUT in some ways that’s exactly what the world needs! I mean we have enough of this bright and colorful and entertaining fucking content where everybody wants to sell us some shit. But what you do in your daily vlogs is revolutionary. You’re like “fuck those fake pictures, that’s what my real personality is”. That’s why we love you Helen! You were like the only one who did “what’s really in my bag” type of video (still remember this one 😁), and that’s what you continue to do. We or it’s better to say I do really believe that your chill painting-my-wall-and-don’t-give-a-fuck kind of vibes in your videos is something extremely important in a global sense. You keep this oldschool “just want to share my experience” style and that’s what humanity is in need of. Simple yet honest connections with people’s experiences. I am getting sick of thousands and thousands of influencers, I really just want to see dudes and their stuff... Love you and appreciate what you’re doing! Hope you’ll find what you’re looking for! ☀️ have a nice trip to Canada 💕
I like the vlogs that aren't constantly jetting around to crazy new places and events; seeing you going about your life while looking like a totally cool babe motivates me to get my own shit together and be my own totally cool babe. It would be cool to see you do some DIY stuff, I think you could plan them out really well and do neat production stuff. Or do videos on stuff you know how to do, like: plan out a garden, figure out how to do a mural, how to start a band. Maybe also while talking to/interviewing people who garden, do murals, are starting bands. Or travel guides if you wanna travel more! Like your "how a size 14 styles x" but "how an almost thirty ~~alternative~~ chick travels" kinda jam.
I love your make up grwm videos. I also love your style videos too! I always want links to everything your wearing and your make up 😊Like now I obcessing over that beautiful lipstick 😍 OMG...what is that terracotta gorgeousness 😍😍😁😘💕
You've just got to make what videos YOU are passionate about and/or where you have the most fun. Don't worry about variety or keeping things fresh all the time, especially when you feel like this. If you're bored of an idea move on, I always ask myself if I had one month left to make whatever I wanted, what would I do? And that helps to cut all the bullshit and just follow what I enjoy. Also if you get too hung up what you think you SHOULD be doing, what people expect of you, whether its relevant, informative enough and 'meaningful' the pressure of your work builds up too much and takes over. But also, if you are passionate about what you are doing and feel like you have a strong hold on your message it gets easier to bat away all the negative self destructive thoughts that come EVERY TIME a creative person makes something new, that never goes away. Just some things that have helped me out
Personally I love your home, fashion/style, make up and everyday blogs the best. I don't watch travel stuff I find it really boring! There's far too many vloggers doing travel stuff. I also often don't bother to watch influencer event stuff, you know, parties and promotional weekends away and all that sort of thing. It's all fake and I don't feel that it's interesting to watch. I love it when you go out and about in the countryside and anything with the dogs in! Hope I don't sound like a old grumpus!!! 🤪🤣 We just love you cos you're you! 🥰❤️🌈
Looove your vlogs the most here on TH-cam!!! 😱💗 I think what you described is more a struggle for the creator than the consumer... I can only speak for myself but I really enjoy your daily vlogs sooo much especially when they are more on the boring stride hahaa. I want to see you, your crazy humor and the beauty and fun of an everyday life, so please don't feel obligated to show us sth more interesting than that. Btw it's a nice way to keep us updated what you're up to 😊💕💕💕
Don't stress yourself or to much trying to make things had a point and meaningful. If you're a regular watcher then hanging out with your friends you don't expect to have meaningful conversations every time. I watch you to relax and feel like I'm with a friend just talking shit.
Maybe you should do a series where you interview people in different roles-industries or whatever. Kind of similar thing to the Jonathan van ness podcast series. That way it’s something intellectual and something to learn but also interesting.
Hi Helen, what about some UK travels where you can tie in your love of hiking and vlogging along the way. Come up to Scotland - there's loads of opportunities for travelling here and lots of places for you to get some space to clear your head (Dunure is a personal favourite) xx
Life doesn't have to be 'meaningful' all of the time. There's nothing wrong with a bit of 'mundane!' ..but, honestly, I think you view yourself as a bit boring because you are the one making these films, you see all the bts. I just enjoy how real you are. You're relatable, incredibly likeable, and there's no bullshit. PMS has got a lot to answer for (my poor Husband!) and I also think we you're nearing a big birthday (40 this year for me) the itchy feet thing is real. I would watch your vlogs every day. You really aren't even close to being any of those things your brain tells you you are. X
it’s so weird to hear you say u don’t really like vlogging cuz i literally click into youtube to see if you’ve uploaded a vlog 😂 it’s like my top favorite video to watch overall. i also like when you explain ur recipes lol ❤️❤️❤️love you helen
Same 😬
Honestly Helen, I watch your videos because of you. You're personality is so wonderful and funny I will literally watch anything you upload
Couldn't agree more!
same tbh
So incredibly relatable when you talk about being in your late 20s and wondering "oh SHIT am I doing enough? Am I getting allllll the goodness out of life while I can?" I feel this on a deep level all the time (I'm 28 and also work from home!)
I personally prefer your more “mundane” vlogs. I can’t afford holidays, or going on trips every day.

It makes me feel better watching people doing every day, ‘average’, stuff. I understand you wanting to do more exciting stuff though, as that’s what probably gets the views :-)
Jemma I absolutely agree
Nooo “boring” everyday vlogs are my fave - I look for a new vlog every night and it’s the first thing I watch if there is!
I can honestly say I really enjoy your blogs. I enjoy seeing someone who is their own boss motivate themself to work out, get work done, tidy the house, etc. not to mention you cover so many topics. For people who find adulting hard or feel lost adulting I feel like you are truly motivating and encouraging. I enjoy them a lot actually.
I've seen you do a few hikes over the last few months, it could be nice to see you do videos around that. Like, your favourite places to go, how you prepare, what you bring with you. It could be really picturesque. It really motivates me seeing you getting out to give it a go myself
You are literally the only vlogger I NEVER tire of. I love putting your videos on and getting my productive on. I’m 27 and a hairstylist and I still wonder what I’m doing and contemplate moving to a new country to a meadow where I paint all day and only see people when I want to. My husband is 31, IT career and still second guesses his life all the time. I think it must be normal.
As for new ideas, I like the idea of doing travel advice around the uk. I’ve never been and have always dreamed of visiting. I love seeing how native people enjoy where they are from and exploring their own countries.
Love you though and your content. Even I it’s just over the Internet.
Me and my partner are having the same life crisis and we work 'normal' jobs. I think it's just our age, we've finished our studies, got settled and we're like ".... Now what?" 😂
Just to let you know, I really enjoy your day to day type vlogs, it's just nice to know how other people spend their normal life. I don't work anymore as I'm now disabled and it's really grounding to watch people who aren't pretending that their life is a whirlwind adventure constantly. It makes you very real.
But you should make whatever content makes you happy...
😊
I binge watch your vlogs when I'm cleaning my room or tidying or just chilling out! In terms of vloggy videos love seeing your food hauls, cleaning tips and just general life bits.
I think whatever you decide to do, we'll still be here viewing your content because we love you! xx
I honestly love how real you are. Like I don’t feel like you sugar coat stuff your just like completely yourself! I never watch your videos and feel like it’s a curated version of your life. You’re very open about when your feeling shit & I love that!
I love watching your vlogs that are just your normal day it’s relatable & real!
I love when you upload! Just keep doing you babes!
Your vlogs are actually my favourites! I think there’s just something really comforting/relaxing about watching someone you like pottering about, living their life... I like when you include a bit of cooking that’s always interesting too. I remember you once did a vid about going on a weekend trip to London on your own... that was really good and made me feel a bit braver about getting out and about on my own xx
Helen, your vlogs are my absolute favorite. I don't care if there's "no point" to the video or if you don't really do anything. I just love watching them!

I enjoy your vlogs! I'm always down for homey stuff because i put them on to get motivated to clean my home ;)
I love your vlogs to bits! Honestly you're my absolute favorite vlogger I love seeing your life no matter how mundane you think it is. You give me confidence, keep being you 💗
It is so supportive to hear how you feel, it makes some of us feel less alone/crazy for feeling the same way about life. Also I love your vlogs when you enjoy doing them!
I watch your videos because of your fashion sense! Maybe try and incorporating more about your daily outfits since it matches the theme of the channel.
Don't know why but I love the vlogs where you're just getting on with your daily chores - it really motivates me! I find your lifestyle really aspirational (not your job but your home, dogs and fitness) so when I see you being so motivated and getting on with stuff, it makes me wanna get off the sofa and be organised too.
In terms of travel, I definitely think you should do it more. If you get that itch, you just have to scratch it or you'll always be wondering what if. You don't have to sell everything and move abroad, but going on several 2 week trips a year will give you that zest for life I think you're missing. Plus when you go away, it makes you appreciate what you have at home so much more too (take this from someone who went backpacking alone for 9 months!) xx

I absolutely love your vlogs, I love all of your content (especially fashion content because your style is lush) but your vlogs are so cosy and homely and there’s just something about them that means they’re my favourite things to watch ❤️
I think doing some small documentaries would be amazing. I think it's fair to say that we all watch you for YOU, whatever you record we'll be there for it. A day in the life of someone else, ghost exploring, travel videos, fashion stuff, how it's made, interviews, etc. you'd be awesome at anything. Also I'm so stoked you are finally coming to Canada!!!
P.S. there is totally such thing as a quarter life crisis.
Audra Auclair Yep, totally agree about mini documentaries. Came here to say that! I would eat that up 😄
I love love love your vlogs so much, even just the every day “boring” (which they’re not imo) but those are my favorites! I feel like I get to hang with Helen for a bit 🤘🏼✨
Helen, what you said about feeling unsure with what you're doing in life atm really struck a cord with me - I'm the same age as you and from England, but I live abroad. What you said about living abroad and travelling and not wanting to 'settle' with things too quickly is how I have always felt. However, what I've found is that wherever you are in the world, life is pretty much the same. So whether you're in Norwich or anywhere else, while the experiences will be different, life just continues (usually) as normal. The biggest thing to consider is if you're happy with the people around you, as for me, this is the most important thing in life. From the outside, many of my friends and family think i'm living this amazing life abroad and experiencing new things, but actually want I most want is to be around the people I love and this isn't always possible when you're away from 'home'. Jobs come and go, partners come and go and living situations will often change, but family and friends are very important. Over the past 18 months I've come to realise that there will always be someone else with a better life, better circumstances, better material things, better experiences, but that's not to say that what you're living through is 'wrong' or 'settled' or 'mundane', it's just the right lifestyle for you. We live in a world where we all need to be 'boss b*tches' and 'hustle' and always be the best that we can be and while this has been great for some, it's not always necessary to live by the same mantra. Chin up girl, you're way more interesting than 99% of people on TH-cam, your content is always great to watch and you're well loved by your subscribers - but I don't think anyone would hold a grudge if you did what was right for you.
I absolutely LOVE your vlogs. Even watching you go about your day at home is super fun and relaxing to me. I love watching you because you’re so normal and relatable, and you talk openly and honestly about things. Keep doing you!
As the bag wasn’t actually linked in the description, I have found it for anyone else who was curious x

You’re definitely not alone- I’ve felt uninspired and unmotivated the past few months and just a few weeks ago, it’s done a complete 180. Hope it picks up soon for u too, but don’t beat yourself up over it 💕 We’re all human and we all go at our own pace.
I got a lot of work done in July, and I’m excited for my birthday this month 🥰
That’s the beauty of vlogs- they are about someone’s life and how they live that’s usually quite mundane but that’s the beauty of it! It’s like watching Neighbours nothing never really happens but you find the comfort in watching someone’s real life that’s not contrived and false.
Ps I’ve got a mavic 2 pro and I’m terrified of using it because sometimes it looses signal and weather conditions have to be good which is a rarity in the uk - there is a go home function if signal is lost so DJI have thought of everything but still it’s very stressful 😂
Love the recent style stuff like size 14 and the insta videos ! I find it really helpful as a curvy lady to find out what brands cater to that correctly! Also love the vlogs as always 💗💗💗
Love watching ur videos!! I’ve been watching for years now! Just some ideas and feedback. I liked the videos of you decorating ur home. The garden and painting the mountains gave me inspiration! Maybe some DIY projects? Vacation and documentaries sounds awesome! Dog day? I have two dogs and it would be so cute to see u spend a day doing doggie things, going to dog friendly places. Meals are always great to see, they make me want to cook more. Always love ur style and clothes videos too! I love hearing about ur mental health, I struggle so it’s great to know how u deal. Keep it up girl!
Totaly love your look in this video! Also, take your time to figure out what you truly want to do. We can wait for it and it's probably going to be bomb when you've figured it out🙌
YES to mini documentary formats, I really like when you get creative with your videos. I also like the unpolished and mundane vlogs, not sure why but there is certainly an appeal to it x
I think you should travel, Helen. You have the opportunity to work while you travel, make the most of that in case it no longer becomes possible. Could see your channel developing into a travel/experience place in addition to what you do now :D
Helen, I love your vlogs! Always have done since the beginning. Even if there's a video on this channel where it might not be something I'd watch, I always watch anyway cos it's you! x
Id love to see a youtuber do like an exploration of different cities in the UK series but not like the boring tourist stuff but the odd and really hidden places that nobody but locals tend to know about! And I think some like you would do such an amazing job of showing things like that! 🖤
My favorite videos you do are your yearly favorite songs. The best ever.
You have inspired me so much to be myself and not care about what anyone else thinks. You are amazing and i love your fashion videos and watching you create outfits. I would love to see some more of your art or things that you have created. Best of luck in your vlogging journey!
I love your vlogs and don't find them boring at all! Your vlogs show alot of ups and downs and real life situations which are relatable. I also find that with some situations you come across, showing in your vlogs, people can learn from. 😊
Does anyone know what brand the yellow bag is from?🧡
Same question here !
Helen linked it in the description 😊
Would love to see you do some mini documentaries! Also some challenges maybe.... such as drive until you run out of petrol and the place you end up in is where you stay for the night and explore! Or book yourself a holiday the day before and just go.... We watch everything for you Helen! Also dare you to dye your hair lilac xx
I love your vlogs. I do prefer the ones that stick to one activity or theme. Like the festival weekends or travel ones
So in the end of july I came up my job and I get off London. I came back to my country, Poland because I wanna study in the university. So now I’m in home and I’m chilling. I wanna be ready in October to start my new life in completely new city. I’m so excited! In August I’ll try be focus to do some excercises
I LOVE your vlogs the best, and I imagine that I am similar to others who watch, not necessarily for content, but more for you as a person. Love the sound of travel vlogs/videos too! X
Day in the life of all sorts of people’s careers, from nurses , teacher, nail technician, gym instructor you name it documentary styles, Helen meets ..... 👍
Your comments about working in a bubble are so relatable! I run a fashion accessories business from home and have more than a few freak outs about whether I’m on the right track! Definitely enjoy your content while I sew 😘
You are the first person who I've ever heard mention weyes blood!!! I love the new album so much!
My favourite videos of yours are your vlogs! They're the only videos I always click on no matter what!
i’d love to see travel guide type content from the places you go ! the wanderlust is real
Girl your style is amazing could you do videos on interior(and/or exterior) design and decor? 😍
Hi for the times you are feeling awful, I don't know if you know already but Gin can be a depressant which could add to or even cause you pending doom feeling. I'd advise avoiding gin altogether if you feel really low often or each month. even if you switch to a different drink. also excesses of alcohol can do this too.
I looove your vlogs! I get so excited when you upload them! I could watch you grocery shop for hours on end, haha.
Have you ever considered seeing a therapist, if you aren’t already? Being able to talk to one has given me tools to deal with those moments I have that seem like what you described. It’s fine to know WHATS wrong but knowing how to finally handle them has been a HUGE help.
I dont know if it helps or if Im being one more but...you've been a HUGE inspiration for me! Im a puertorican that migrated to the states cuz of the storn and I love your type of content and your atittude/style! Ive been to london/england and the download festival as well! You have helped me push my comfort zone in terms of fashion and see things from a different point of view! Your vids are so natural and organic! Love it! Keep it up! I wish I could have a channel like yours 🤩
Please do a London travel guide! Your favorite places to visit/see/eat
Not gonna lie Helen, i LOVE watching your vlogs... just your normal day to day vlogs, i do looove to just unwind to those! Don't know why watching someone elses life is really interesting but it is lol. But hope you find something that inspires you again soon! Got to do what feels right and what's best for you! Ps love your hair in this xox
Where is your bag from? I need it.
Alison L. I was stalking the comments to see if anyone else had asked 🙈
You should do a video all about Norwich and the places to go there, especially for us Americans who are traveling to the UK.
I much prefer more casual vlogs! The ones that are super polished feel kind of fake? Like so far from "real life" I can't relate. It's really nice to feel like I'm hanging out with you after a long day or whatever.
Travel. Travel. Travel. I'm 34, just had my third baby, and seriously regret not doing more traveling with my partner in the 4 years before having kid's (also not doing other thing's before kid's also). Plus travel vlogs are great!
I really love watching your everyday 'mundane' vlogs. Them & Zoella's very rarely uploaded one's, are the only vlogs I Have To Watch.
I love your vlogs even the mundane ones
I wouldnt want you to stop making them but whatever makes you feel inspired
I think from my perspective i watch them because they’re relatable like sometimes when i need to get motivated to do housework i watch your housework ones same with working from home
Otherwise if im getting pumped for a weekend out i watch your partying ones
Theres something soothing about taking time out from your own life and observing someone elses kind of like watching a documentary
Would you do more interior design videos? get subscribers involved (room makeovers on a budget??).
Don’t worry about your daily vlogs - just film when you’re able to :) Perhaps you could do melonlady tripadviser vlogs - mini U.K. travel vlogs - the Norwich idea is good & you could do this for different national trust houses! :)
This ☝️ Great idea!!! Don't feel guilt for being around home, we love seeing where you live :)
I love your vlogs and over the last month ive become obsessed with your style and lifestyle. I would love to see more travel, garden, interior on your channel. ❤
I think we all go through a bit of existentialism in our late twenties, wondering what we're doing with our lives. But change is definitely good, especially when you've been doing something for a long time, I recently left a place I'd worked for 15 years and I'm so glad I did it as its giving me a new lease of life! (not saying you should quit youtube though ;))
I would like to see a video about how do you look after your mental health and what kind of things you do , like if you journal or meditate or do yoga or anything? Or if you track your moods somehow.
Love your videos. Especially the days out ones and these chatty ones and your style ones. Keep being awesome and doing what you love. X
I absolutely love your vlogs! I love your personality, your style, your aesthetics, you're a gorgeous and inspiring person, I honestly enjoy your everyday life vlogs so much!
Where did you get those earrings? I'm in love!
✨You look stunning in this Helen!You’re literally glowing ✨
I love watching your videos as you’re super so real and your vlogs are tons of fun to watch! I’d love to see documentary style vlogs and themes for your vlogs. 🤷🏼♀️ I don’t know, do what makes you happy girl, scratch that travel itch!
hydrangeas love acidic soil which your other plants may not need
This! Give it an acidic organic fertilizer!
Love your vlogs! If I where you I wouldn't worry too much about them. To me they are shot beautifully, fun, honest, and never boring cause you're such a loveable relatable person. Think of vlogs like chilling with your friends, not everything has to be perfect cause you're in good company. For example even if me and my best friend have nothing to talk about, we still enjoy being in each others presence. I love hearing you talk about your day when I put on my makeup in the morning of when I cook my diner. For your regular video's I'm positive your creativity will take you far. Portraits of other people sounds cool, maybe you could do interviews with musicians or other people that inspire you? Style swaps, diy decor 'tutorials', how to write a song, thrift items you saw in regular shops, cant think of much at the moment, but I'm sure you'll find a good flow. Oh yeah, my fav thing in July was performing at a big festival with my friends and I'm looking forward to having a fun day with my sister in August. :)
I love your vlogs Helen!!!! And judging by the comments a lot of your other followers do to. You are the most none boringest and none mundane person! ❤️
I look forward to every video you post, I enjoy your vlogs more than the clothe try ons but that’s only because we have the complete opposite style haha but I still watch those videos! I think travel vlogs would be a really cool idea! 🌞
What about if you tried volunteering days? E.g. volunteering at a local zoo, volunteering at a soup kitchen etc.
Could be something for your vlogs to inspire you and other people, plus making a profound difference x
Also I’ve been watching you since the beginning, and I’m not bored of ya x
You are actually the cutest ever❤️ I love those earrings 🌞Hakuna Matata
I would love your quirky travel vlogs, packing videos, road trips etc! Go get out there girl, the world is your oyster 😜
I am getting Helena Bonham Carter vibes from you with those sunnnies!
Your makeup today is so lively ! (Please don’t take that the wrong way, it’s just that the colors are so bright and subtle but also sort of in your face? I sound like a mess, but the makeup is super flattering and really makes your eyes pop.)
I'm sorry....I do have to tell you are doing a great job. Here's why. I've been living with terminal cancer 8 yrs (metastatic breast cancer) Which is awesome Because A. I shouldn't still be alive, and B. I'm doing pretty good right now. But YOU are killing it every time you upload. I love your content, you give me something to look forward to, and your content makes me happy. It is great to see into your live and see your progress and journey. Thanks for all the sharing you do
Love seeing fashion, interiors etc...but also love your musings on life.
I don't mean to be a party p***er but please be advised that Canada has recently passed a law were you need a pilot's licence to use a drone, i am not kidding because a drone is considered a small aircraft (and it can really hurt people if mishandled) & if you fly a drone in Canada without the proper licence you could be fined 5000$ so please look into it if you were going to bring it, because i heard you say "this is gonna make the Canada vlogs epic" ... Also where in Canada are you coming? It's a big country! I definitely recommend Vancouver & Montréal! 💜
I would love to see you do a series on you visiting National Parks!
girl that new outro is something out of a movie! love it!
Hope you’ll see this Helen 💕Even though you said you didn’t need people saying you are doing well, I feel that there’s something I want to say that maybe would encourage and inspire you. I feel like... the impact that this chill everyday style of blogging has on your audience shouldn’t be underestimated. I can totally understand why you can feel like there’s nothing interesting in vlogs or like they’re boring and nothing really happens in those videos etc. BUT in some ways that’s exactly what the world needs! I mean we have enough of this bright and colorful and entertaining fucking content where everybody wants to sell us some shit. But what you do in your daily vlogs is revolutionary. You’re like “fuck those fake pictures, that’s what my real personality is”. That’s why we love you Helen! You were like the only one who did “what’s really in my bag” type of video (still remember this one 😁), and that’s what you continue to do. We or it’s better to say I do really believe that your chill painting-my-wall-and-don’t-give-a-fuck kind of vibes in your videos is something extremely important in a global sense. You keep this oldschool “just want to share my experience” style and that’s what humanity is in need of. Simple yet honest connections with people’s experiences. I am getting sick of thousands and thousands of influencers, I really just want to see dudes and their stuff... Love you and appreciate what you’re doing! Hope you’ll find what you’re looking for! ☀️ have a nice trip to Canada 💕
I like the vlogs that aren't constantly jetting around to crazy new places and events; seeing you going about your life while looking like a totally cool babe motivates me to get my own shit together and be my own totally cool babe.
It would be cool to see you do some DIY stuff, I think you could plan them out really well and do neat production stuff. Or do videos on stuff you know how to do, like: plan out a garden, figure out how to do a mural, how to start a band. Maybe also while talking to/interviewing people who garden, do murals, are starting bands. Or travel guides if you wanna travel more! Like your "how a size 14 styles x" but "how an almost thirty ~~alternative~~ chick travels" kinda jam.
What brand is the yellow bag from? I love it 💛
OMG where's that bag from
Oh and try coconut collaborative choc pots, 100cals each, just like an actual choc pot, amazing!
I really wanted to see your spotify playlist! 😭 xx
I love your vlogs!! And regular vlogs are my fave videos to watch of yours xx
Could you do a video of “alternative” styling from different stores?
I love your make up grwm videos. I also love your style videos too! I always want links to everything your wearing and your make up 😊Like now I obcessing over that beautiful lipstick 😍 OMG...what is that terracotta gorgeousness 😍😍😁😘💕
You've just got to make what videos YOU are passionate about and/or where you have the most fun. Don't worry about variety or keeping things fresh all the time, especially when you feel like this. If you're bored of an idea move on, I always ask myself if I had one month left to make whatever I wanted, what would I do? And that helps to cut all the bullshit and just follow what I enjoy. Also if you get too hung up what you think you SHOULD be doing, what people expect of you, whether its relevant, informative enough and 'meaningful' the pressure of your work builds up too much and takes over. But also, if you are passionate about what you are doing and feel like you have a strong hold on your message it gets easier to bat away all the negative self destructive thoughts that come EVERY TIME a creative person makes something new, that never goes away.
Just some things that have helped me out
Personally I love your home, fashion/style, make up and everyday blogs the best. I don't watch travel stuff I find it really boring! There's far too many vloggers doing travel stuff. I also often don't bother to watch influencer event stuff, you know, parties and promotional weekends away and all that sort of thing. It's all fake and I don't feel that it's interesting to watch. I love it when you go out and about in the countryside and anything with the dogs in! Hope I don't sound like a old grumpus!!! 🤪🤣 We just love you cos you're you! 🥰❤️🌈
Looove your vlogs the most here on TH-cam!!! 😱💗 I think what you described is more a struggle for the creator than the consumer... I can only speak for myself but I really enjoy your daily vlogs sooo much especially when they are more on the boring stride hahaa. I want to see you, your crazy humor and the beauty and fun of an everyday life, so please don't feel obligated to show us sth more interesting than that. Btw it's a nice way to keep us updated what you're up to 😊💕💕💕
At the beginning of July I went for my first time to Who Cares? Scotland summer camp and it was a truly amazing experience 💙
Don't stress yourself or to much trying to make things had a point and meaningful. If you're a regular watcher then hanging out with your friends you don't expect to have meaningful conversations every time. I watch you to relax and feel like I'm with a friend just talking shit.
Maybe you should do a series where you interview people in different roles-industries or whatever. Kind of similar thing to the Jonathan van ness podcast series. That way it’s something intellectual and something to learn but also interesting.
Hi Helen, what about some UK travels where you can tie in your love of hiking and vlogging along the way. Come up to Scotland - there's loads of opportunities for travelling here and lots of places for you to get some space to clear your head (Dunure is a personal favourite) xx
Life doesn't have to be 'meaningful' all of the time. There's nothing wrong with a bit of 'mundane!' ..but, honestly, I think you view yourself as a bit boring because you are the one making these films, you see all the bts. I just enjoy how real you are. You're relatable, incredibly likeable, and there's no bullshit. PMS has got a lot to answer for (my poor Husband!) and I also think we you're nearing a big birthday (40 this year for me) the itchy feet thing is real. I would watch your vlogs every day. You really aren't even close to being any of those things your brain tells you you are. X
