Hey Lily! I loved the podcast episode with Zoe, I really hope there'll be a second season ! I would love it if you could give some advice on how to stay close to your best friends you had for years and years, even if both of you are making new friends, are moving to different places etc. I admire you and your friends a lot for maintaining your relationship since primary school! Lots of love from Germany! xx
Q&A - if you are the person who is making the effort to always connect with a friend, at what point do you stop trying and see if that friend will make time to see or contact you? Are they really a friend if this is the case? Is it ok to stop trying to connect if you feel it's one sided?
How to cope when you realise you and a friend no longer have anything in common and you feel like you want to cut ties as it's just not working for you anymore. Like the friendship doesn't have anything holding it together. I'm in my early 30s so long term friendships tire out if that makes sense
Q&A: what do you think is the best way of making new friends? I'm 28 and don't have a best girl mate or group of mates, I have friends but they are scattered across the world and sometimes I feel so lonely. I'm quite shy which makes it harder but I'm never sure how to pluck up the courage to try and make new friends at my age...
Emily Reynolds i feel the exact same! I don't have a friendship group or a girl best friend. I have my boyfriend who i see all the time when we're not working and he's amazing and my best friend for sure but its not the same as having girl-friends really. I have a few people at work who are my "friends" but they have actual friendship groups outside of work and don't really have time to do anything outside of work as just friends and not a "work night out".
Same for me since moving to London 4 years ago just turning 30. It's SO hard to make proper friends here, especially girl friends. I met some great girls who where internationals too in the first year but they've all left already, and locals past student age seem pretty set in their established circles. I'm pretty certain I will move back to Europe soon, and one of the main reasons really is missing my friends!
Emily Reynolds sports! even if you don't make friends for life it's nice you get out a couple of times a week and meet new people. i do netball with Go mammoth
For Q&A: I work from home and find it quite hard to meet people since I'm no longer in school and don't have any coworkers. I have old friends and some of my BF's friends, but am looking for advice on how to meet new people
I'm not in the same situation and would love that video too! First thing that pops into my mind though is find a hobby! You'll meet loads of great people with the same interests as you :)
Hope there is a season 2 of the podcast! Have really enjoyed it, and it's been lovely to see another side of you and Anna as you interview other people. Well done ladies 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great vlog Lily, I feel like you've really come into yourself lately and I enjoy watching even more than usual :) I love how relaxed you are in terms of social life, food and even exercise, it makes me feel like life is really suppose to be enjoyable and not something to be constantly stressed about
Hi Lily! You and Anna are the first British TH-camrs that I started watching when I first got into TH-cam a few years ago. You two make me smile! I also value your opinions a lot. You're such genuine women who empower each other. An absolute pleasure to watch. For the Q&A: Did a friend ever betray your trust? How did you get over it? If not, did you remain friendly/acquaintances or did you stop being friends? Also, a belated congratulations on the wedding! You are Rich are too cute together. You "balance" each other perfectly!
Hi Lily, my question for your Friends Q&A is - How have you dealt with making new friends as you are into your mid-late 20s? And if you have discussed this with your friends from childhood - how have they found it? Loved the podcast series. Can't wait for a season 2!!
For your Q and A could you mention how you kept friends with your school and college friends when you moved away for University. And also how you introduced the two groups, college and university, together
When you said you wanted to do a Q&A I thought, I hope she does it on the topic friendship... so I'm already looking forward to that :). How do you think friendships change as you grow up? What do you look for in a friend? Do you believe some friendships are temporary? How do you deal with it when a friendship ends (if you had one that did)? Sorry that was a few questions, but you can pick and choose if you decide to answer any Also really loved the podcast with Zoe xxx
How to know when you are your best friend are not right for eachother anymore? And how to deal with the fact you feel like you are putting way more effort into the friendship than the other friend? Xx
For Q&A - if your friend has hurt you/ done something wrong - how do you tell them without being worried that you might be confrontational/ hurt their feelings?
which question do you like to ask people you're just getting to know? i sometimes struggle with small talk because i think a lot of the questions that you can ask people are quite boring and you stay on the surface rather than really getting to know them. i hope you are having a great time in France!:)
Hi Lily, thank you for letting us asking you questions for your Q&A on friendship. I don't normally comment, but I really admire how you have kept the same friends since you were little, and because that happened to me as well, I would like to ask you how you manage your long distance friendship with Keisha and how it changed since she moved; my best friend moved about six months ago and we are making all the effort (phone, skype,..) to keep that closeness, but sometimes with work and life in general it's hard and we are both afraid to lose the bond we have created in 15 years. I appreciate your help very very much, and thank you for your vlogs, they are my favourite videos to watch! :)
I have wanted you to do a Q&A about friendships for ages! How do you get over differences of opinions in friendships? Also any tips on making new friends?
Loved listening to the Zoe Sugg podcast! So good and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks for sharing with us. btw loved when you unbox your goodies for us.
Q&A question: as you get older how do you make sure you maintain the friendships you have? I find life gets in the way and it's easy to be swept along!
For your next Q&A... do you ever feel left out of your friends activities and how do you deal with FOMO? And for season 2... would love interviews outside of the beauty industry. You and Anna are so smart that it would be great to have a variety of conversations... 🙂
Q&A: how to deal with a friend who had caused you pain and you decided to forgive just because it is the only person you feel enough confident with but keeps letting you down. It is not a bed person or anything, I think it is only the way it normally behaves. lots of love lily xxx
I really enjoyed your podcast and I hope there'll be a second season. I also really enjoy your videos. I just love listening to you and watch what you're doing. I used to live in London for quite a while but now I'm back in Germany and quite miss my time in the U.K. but your videos kinda give me the feeling of being back in my favourite place on earth. Keep up the good work!!
Love this vlog, Lily! So surreal seeing Burley and that Costa drive through in your vlog 🙈 The festival at The Pig looked like such a lovely way to spend an afternoon! x
For Q&A: when old friendships become hard to maintain (due to one/ both of you changing or the other person not putting in much effort) do you let the friendship go and accept it's over or do you try to continue even though you may both be different people than you were before?
Q&A: If you have a long term friend that you think isn't good for you and brings you down rather than lift you up, what do you do? Do you cut them off even though they've always been nice to you and you know that they need you?
I have commented before on the same thing, but I hope that for season 2 you include people from more diverse backgrounds, and perhaps some men too (I understand it was a new podcast and it probably wasn't easy getting guests). Season one was all white women, many industry leaders who most likely came from middle-class backgrounds, which I understand is what the commercial beauty industry is mostly made up of and beauty is an area of interest for us listeners. I hope this doesn't come across in a bad way, it is merely a suggestion for season 2.
Oh, I love this suggestion. There are some fabulous women of color in the UK beauty industry that it probably wouldn't be terribly difficult. (Pat McGrath and Florence Adepoju come to mind immediately.) The trick is making sure to ask questions that aren't just about being a WOC in the industry. Economic, gender diversity... career diversity, etc. So many ways to branch out.
obviously nobody can know that, doesn't mean it's wrong to suggest it based on who did end up on the show--it might even help others choose to say yes knowing there's someone out there who wants to hear from them!
Q&A: I notice that you have a lot of friends that you know for a really long time, do you find it hard to make new friends now? and do you call someone your friend easily or does it take a longer time for somebody to earn that title? xx from the Netherlands
Could you discuss moving away from friends, especially ones you've been friends with for your entire life. Specifically about how to keep up with them when you're away at college etc. and how to pick up where things left off when you're together again. Thanks !
For the Q&A: How do you stay in touch with friends who have moved away either to a different city or even to a different continent? Do you find it more difficult to stay in touch with friends now that you've all partnered up and live very different lives? Thanks! By the way, congratulations to you and Anna on the "At Home With" podcast. Can't wait for a season 2! Would love to hear interviews with Caroline Hirons and Ruth Crilly.
Q&A question; Do you think exes can be friends and continue an active friendship (seeing each other for lunch, going for a drink, cinema etc) even though though they are no longer romantically involved?
Q&A: what has made the biggest positive impact in helping you maintain such long-term friendships? It's so clear through your videos how much you value your friends and how great of a friend you are! Your friend group also seems to be made up of such awesome people. So, how have you maintained them for so long as you've grown up and new adult priorities arise. Thanks!
Q for the Q&A.. How do you keep a friendship going when they're at a different life stage to you now? Priorities change, obviously with having a baby etc but what do you do when it's impossible to meet and enjoy what you used to do together? I feel like myself and a couple of friends have no common ground now and are drifting apart.
Here's my question :) I've been with my bf for almost 4 years now and we've tried quite a few times to have get-togethers with all the friends, my friends and his friends and mutual friends... but they will never mix! (and it's not there are a lot of people in the first place, usually about 8-10, so it does feel a little bit awkward...) It usually ends up where they split into their own groups and never talk to each other. And of course, my mind does tend to see this as a bad thing, that they will never get along, that it's going to be like this at our small wedding, etc, etc... So here is my question, how have you gotten your friends to get along and just have fun together? What was it like at your wedding?
Emilie Bouchard perhaps you could have a couple of friends from each group at a time instead of everyone at once. It might help people open up more in a smaller group, I know that would make me feel more at ease. Big groups (8-10 is biggish) are quite intimidating to me!
Thank you :) I was thinking of trying out a small girl's night and just have two or three or them over. The boys on the other hand are a bit of a different can of worms. My bf's friends are a little more boisterous and crude jokes types while my guy friends tend to be more of the calm, board games type of people (if I had to really put this label on all of them ...). So, not sure for that side :P
I would love a Q&A about friendship, so I just paused to write down my question: Do you find it hard sometimes to 'invest' in friendships and do you have tips on how to invest in friendships in a 'natural/not forced' way? (I have just finished my first year at uni and friendship wise this year felt all about changing friendships because friends (from high school) moved to different cities to study over there. And about dealing with friendships that got less, I found it tough to figure out the fine line between letting go a friendship because it isn't working anymore and working hard for it to see how it might still work but in a different way than before)
Q&A- You have so many lifelong friends which i really admire. How do you manage to keep in touch on an everyday basis when you have separate lives, might live in different counties and you can only manage to meet once a month or 3 month? :)
Thanks so much for asking us for questions for your Q&A on friendship... I watch all your Q&As but I've never had the opportunity to ask before. My question is... Did any of your friendships change when you became a famous vlogger and how?
I really have enjoyed listening to your podcast with Anna, definitely cheers up my Wednesday! I have a suggestion if you do a second series.. It would be great if you could do a 'At Home With .. Friends' episode - other youtubers you know well or even your friends / work colleagues to get to know them more. The podcast with Zoe felt so natural and I think was one of my favourites, which maybe was because you knew her better than your other guests and felt more comfortable. Having said that it's been so interesting to hear all about the other inspirational women you've interviewed so I hope you don't take my suggestion as negative criticism. Love your channel as always :)
For Q&A: How do you maintain long-distance friendships? For example, Keisha and yourself and/ or other friends. I think this would apply more to/ is important for your age 18+ viewers, given at that age everyone is moving apart and starting new adventures for themselves :)
Q&A question: How do you navigate your way through a friend break up? Gosh that sounds lame but I mean when you know a friendship just isn't right for either of you how do you end/let go of it? 😊
Q&A: How do you handle friendships ending? Not like massive fights that ruin friendships but kind of growing apart? I find growing apart from a friend to be harder than some type of massive blowout...I just graduated from college and find myself growing distant from friends and I don't hate it because we are moving into different phases of life but do you confront the fact that you're growing distant or let it just happen? oxoxoxo you got me through college LP! Keep on doing you!
For Q and A: when I meet new people, often the first question asked is about what I do for work. I am terrible at small talk and breaking the ice. What other questions do you suggest?
OMGsh, Lily, I think you're the first to realize this about Q&A's...maybe a bit dramatic, but TH-camrs are the ones consuming Q&A's (assuming they're posted here) and I'm sure your TH-cam-only fam would love to contribute! So smart! Also, I've noticed your travel-induced motion sickness. Personally, I have motion sickness and vertigo, but I loved riding in a hot air balloon because it was so peaceful. I wonder how take off and landing will affect you--they were a tad dicey for me, but well worth the few moments of discomfort. Bon voyage!
Hey Lily! Great vlog as always :) So, here's my question for you upcoming Q&A: How do you make new friends as an adult, especially when working for yourself? I'd really appreciate your perspective on this as it's something I struggle with quite a lot myself. Have a lovely weekend! x
Hi Lily! Great vlog, my question re: friendship is did you find it hard when leaving for uni/different school or college knowing that you wouldn't see your friends every day or week? Or have you found it that it has made your friendships stronger? Have a good week. xx
For the Q&A on friendship: Do you have any advice for how to maintain close friendships when everyone is so busy with their own lives, possibly living in different cities? I'm 22 and I've noticed recently my friends and I are all starting new and different things, it's great but I find it difficult to keep up sometimes. Love your channel and the podcast, keep up the great work!
Any advice on long distance friendship? as you have a few friends that don't live in the UK. And I absolutely love watching your videos, especially your vlogs....I wait for you to upload every Wednesday and Sunday ❤❤
So excited you ended with a friend as well as a fellow TH-camr! Always love seeing your vlogs pop up in my sub box and this one was no exception. For the Q&A: how do you deal with maintaining friendships and making plans when everyone is so busy with individual lives/work/significant others/etc? I usually find I'm so tired after work that making plans feels stressful and/or limiting sometimes. Also, what are some tips on starting friend traditions like New Year's Eve or secret santa pub nights?
Q&A: You're not shy about including your good friends in your videos, how do you juggle your busy work life, relationship with Rich, and make your friends a priority too?
Lily you said white dress and pasta are not a good idea then you wore a white t-shirt 😂. Even I do that and waiting for podcast season 2. Season 1 was so so good. xx
Hey Lily! I loved the podcast episode with Zoe, I really hope there'll be a second season ! I would love it if you could give some advice on how to stay close to your best friends you had for years and years, even if both of you are making new friends, are moving to different places etc. I admire you and your friends a lot for maintaining your relationship since primary school!
Lots of love from Germany! xx
The parts with Rich reacting to the soft brush and you trying to say sensitivity, I was laughing so hard. Great vlog as always!
Q&A - if you are the person who is making the effort to always connect with a friend, at what point do you stop trying and see if that friend will make time to see or contact you? Are they really a friend if this is the case? Is it ok to stop trying to connect if you feel it's one sided?
How to cope when you realise you and a friend no longer have anything in common and you feel like you want to cut ties as it's just not working for you anymore. Like the friendship doesn't have anything holding it together. I'm in my early 30s so long term friendships tire out if that makes sense
I do believe that unloading the dishwasher is one of the most attractive sounds a man can produce. 💗
Q&A: what do you think is the best way of making new friends? I'm 28 and don't have a best girl mate or group of mates, I have friends but they are scattered across the world and sometimes I feel so lonely. I'm quite shy which makes it harder but I'm never sure how to pluck up the courage to try and make new friends at my age...
Emily Reynolds I feel the sameee! x
Emily Reynolds i feel the exact same! I don't have a friendship group or a girl best friend. I have my boyfriend who i see all the time when we're not working and he's amazing and my best friend for sure but its not the same as having girl-friends really.

Same for me since moving to London 4 years ago just turning 30. It's SO hard to make proper friends here, especially girl friends. I met some great girls who where internationals too in the first year but they've all left already, and locals past student age seem pretty set in their established circles. I'm pretty certain I will move back to Europe soon, and one of the main reasons really is missing my friends!
BTW, if any of you lives in London too, we should meet up and fight the loneliness :P
Emily Reynolds sports! even if you don't make friends for life it's nice you get out a couple of times a week and meet new people. i do netball with Go mammoth
For Q&A: I work from home and find it quite hard to meet people since I'm no longer in school and don't have any coworkers. I have old friends and some of my BF's friends, but am looking for advice on how to meet new people
I'm not in the same situation and would love that video too! First thing that pops into my mind though is find a hobby! You'll meet loads of great people with the same interests as you :)
Laura Ruth Z - Meetup can be good. but you have to filter through the crazy
essie costa Oh god this makes me nervous!
Laura Ruth Z same!
I moved to a different town to be with my partner and also work from home so I find the same issues Laura Ruth!
Lily, absolutely loved your podcast. Great selection of guests.
It made me smile seeing you on that swing! So cute☺️💕
For the Q&A - How did you feel meeting Rich's friends? and were you nervous to introduce him to your friends?
just cracked me up that you changed out of your white dress into a white t-shirt because of the pasta - totally worth it 😛 great vlog as always!
I'm just picturing lily brushing her hubbies face at night time 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved the episode with Zoe! Such a great listen.
Hahahaha and Rich with the brush - "More!" SO funny 😂
Hope there is a season 2 of the podcast! Have really enjoyed it, and it's been lovely to see another side of you and Anna as you interview other people. Well done ladies 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I absolutely loved the podcast. Definitely my favourite one so far!!❤
Great vlog Lily, I feel like you've really come into yourself lately and I enjoy watching even more than usual :) I love how relaxed you are in terms of social life, food and even exercise, it makes me feel like life is really suppose to be enjoyable and not something to be constantly stressed about
Such chilled summer vibes in this vlog!
I haven't watched your vlogs for a while but now I'm back and hey! You've still got it! I still enjoy watching you after all these years!
Hi Lily! You and Anna are the first British TH-camrs that I started watching when I first got into TH-cam a few years ago. You two make me smile! I also value your opinions a lot. You're such genuine women who empower each other. An absolute pleasure to watch.
For the Q&A: Did a friend ever betray your trust? How did you get over it? If not, did you remain friendly/acquaintances or did you stop being friends?
Also, a belated congratulations on the wedding! You are Rich are too cute together. You "balance" each other perfectly!
i drop my phone just when you said "oh god". i thought that you felt the drop haha😂😂
Hi Lily, my question for your Friends Q&A is - How have you dealt with making new friends as you are into your mid-late 20s? And if you have discussed this with your friends from childhood - how have they found it? Loved the podcast series. Can't wait for a season 2!!
Just binge watched your vlogmas a couple of days ago and now I'm obsessed with your vlogs! 💖
I also have a beauty channel and I'd love if you guys could check it out! ♡
For your Q and A could you mention how you kept friends with your school and college friends when you moved away for University. And also how you introduced the two groups, college and university, together
Respect for not using Zoe's name in the title for more views!
deffo!
Even Zoe's own boyfriend does that..kudos
Solvision x but she used her face.
Don't even know who Zoe is!
+Hiba Ada True, but then you could say she also used Anna's face, or her own. ;)
When you said you wanted to do a Q&A I thought, I hope she does it on the topic friendship... so I'm already looking forward to that :).
How do you think friendships change as you grow up? What do you look for in a friend? Do you believe some friendships are temporary? How do you deal with it when a friendship ends (if you had one that did)? Sorry that was a few questions, but you can pick and choose if you decide to answer any
Also really loved the podcast with Zoe xxx
For Q&A: how to maintain long term friendships/resolve conflicts in friendships. :)
How to know when you are your best friend are not right for eachother anymore? And how to deal with the fact you feel like you are putting way more effort into the friendship than the other friend? Xx
For Q&A - if your friend has hurt you/ done something wrong - how do you tell them without being worried that you might be confrontational/ hurt their feelings?
which question do you like to ask people you're just getting to know? i sometimes struggle with small talk because i think a lot of the questions that you can ask people are quite boring and you stay on the surface rather than really getting to know them. i hope you are having a great time in France!:)
Miri Pirie Such a good question!
So excited for this Q&A! How do you juggle being in many different friend groups? (Work/childhood/college/etc)
Hi Lily, thank you for letting us asking you questions for your Q&A on friendship. I don't normally comment, but I really admire how you have kept the same friends since you were little, and because that happened to me as well, I would like to ask you how you manage your long distance friendship with Keisha and how it changed since she moved; my best friend moved about six months ago and we are making all the effort (phone, skype,..) to keep that closeness, but sometimes with work and life in general it's hard and we are both afraid to lose the bond we have created in 15 years.

The sound on this episode was the best so far, props to new sound guy!
for Q&A, do you think arguments are a good thing and that they make friendships stronger?
For your next Q&A... do you ever feel left out of your friends activities and how do you deal with FOMO?
And for season 2... would love interviews outside of the beauty industry. You and Anna are so smart that it would be great to have a variety of conversations... 🙂

sorry i meant bad
I really enjoyed your podcast and I hope there'll be a second season. I also really enjoy your videos. I just love listening to you and watch what you're doing. I used to live in London for quite a while but now I'm back in Germany and quite miss my time in the U.K. but your videos kinda give me the feeling of being back in my favourite place on earth. Keep up the good work!!
Love this vlog, Lily! So surreal seeing Burley and that Costa drive through in your vlog 🙈 The festival at The Pig looked like such a lovely way to spend an afternoon! x
I love it when lily drinks and vlogs! Haha the haul part was halarious
I like your PR unboxing like this sporadically. Love L'occitane products. Hope you'll have a great time on your trip!
For Q&A: when old friendships become hard to maintain (due to one/ both of you changing or the other person not putting in much effort) do you let the friendship go and accept it's over or do you try to continue even though you may both be different people than you were before?
Q&A: If you have a long term friend that you think isn't good for you and brings you down rather than lift you up, what do you do? Do you cut them off even though they've always been nice to you and you know that they need you?

Economic, gender diversity... career diversity, etc. So many ways to branch out.
How do you know they haven't already asked these and different folk and said no or cannot do it eh!
obviously nobody can know that, doesn't mean it's wrong to suggest it based on who did end up on the show--it might even help others choose to say yes knowing there's someone out there who wants to hear from them!
Completely agree - thank you for saying this!!
Instead of complaining about the background noise of the dishwasher say thanks to Rich for helping out : ) we have to appreciate each other as spouses
Q & A: what to do if you are in a "fallout" with your friends, how did you resolve them when you where at school? X
For Q&A How have you let go of toxic friendships or ones you have out grown?
Q&A: I notice that you have a lot of friends that you know for a really long time, do you find it hard to make new friends now? and do you call someone your friend easily or does it take a longer time for somebody to earn that title? xx from the Netherlands
Could you discuss moving away from friends, especially ones you've been friends with for your entire life. Specifically about how to keep up with them when you're away at college etc. and how to pick up where things left off when you're together again. Thanks !

Q&A question; Do you think exes can be friends and continue an active friendship (seeing each other for lunch, going for a drink, cinema etc) even though though they are no longer romantically involved?
For ur q&a: how do you deal with envy, especially when a friend is in the same field as you and you are a bit competitive
"a white dress and pasta is a really bad combination" - puts on a white shirt
Emma Lynn Tholon srsly tho 😂😂
Pure Lily, more excited with Real Technics brushes than the Chanel box !
Question for your Q AND A :Can you talk about maintaining friendships after you leave school or go to separate collages ect
Nice little vlog, loved it, and all the makeup bits how very exciting!
Q&A: what has made the biggest positive impact in helping you maintain such long-term friendships? It's so clear through your videos how much you value your friends and how great of a friend you are! Your friend group also seems to be made up of such awesome people. So, how have you maintained them for so long as you've grown up and new adult priorities arise. Thanks!
Thanks for the podcast.
Sen si tivety 😂 love it
How did Rich transition into your already established friend group?

Priorities change, obviously with having a baby etc but what do you do when it's impossible to meet and enjoy what you used to do together?

I was thinking of trying out a small girl's night and just have two or three or them over. The boys on the other hand are a bit of a different can of worms. My bf's friends are a little more boisterous and crude jokes types while my guy friends tend to be more of the calm, board games type of people (if I had to really put this label on all of them ...). So, not sure for that side :P
FRIENDSHIP Q&A: advice on how you would dwal with being hurt by you friend but not knowing how to bring it up to them
I would love a Q&A about friendship, so I just paused to write down my question: Do you find it hard sometimes to 'invest' in friendships and do you have tips on how to invest in friendships in a 'natural/not forced' way?
(I have just finished my first year at uni and friendship wise this year felt all about changing friendships because friends (from high school) moved to different cities to study over there. And about dealing with friendships that got less, I found it tough to figure out the fine line between letting go a friendship because it isn't working anymore and working hard for it to see how it might still work but in a different way than before)
Question: How do you manage boundary setting in friendships? Is that something you have ever had difficulty with and how did you over come it?
Q&A- You have so many lifelong friends which i really admire. How do you manage to keep in touch on an everyday basis when you have separate lives, might live in different counties and you can only manage to meet once a month or 3 month? :)
"Can you do that like, at night time?" hahahaha
For Q & A: Lily, Can you give some tips on how to maintain such good friendships with a very busy schedule. Thank you 💕
loved this vlog and the podcasts!
for the q&a: advice on making friends during freshers week?
Q& A: how do u sustain ur female friendships.and how do u get over a rough time with a friend. e.g broken trust etc
Thanks so much for asking us for questions for your Q&A on friendship... I watch all your Q&As but I've never had the opportunity to ask before. My question is...
Did any of your friendships change when you became a famous vlogger and how?
"I'm not sure sensitivity is my strength" loooooooool I'm laughing so hard
Making new friends as an adult is tough especially when you work from home, any tips??
Well done on the podcast, really enjoyed it❤
I really have enjoyed listening to your podcast with Anna, definitely cheers up my Wednesday! I have a suggestion if you do a second series.. It would be great if you could do a 'At Home With .. Friends' episode - other youtubers you know well or even your friends / work colleagues to get to know them more. The podcast with Zoe felt so natural and I think was one of my favourites, which maybe was because you knew her better than your other guests and felt more comfortable. Having said that it's been so interesting to hear all about the other inspirational women you've interviewed so I hope you don't take my suggestion as negative criticism. Love your channel as always :)
"Not sure sensitivity is my strength" and "French obvs!" haha. One of your funnier vlogs for sure!
For Q&A: How do you maintain long-distance friendships? For example, Keisha and yourself and/ or other friends. I think this would apply more to/ is important for your age 18+ viewers, given at that age everyone is moving apart and starting new adventures for themselves :)
Q&A question: How do you navigate your way through a friend break up? Gosh that sounds lame but I mean when you know a friendship just isn't right for either of you how do you end/let go of it? 😊
Q&A: How do you handle friendships ending? Not like massive fights that ruin friendships but kind of growing apart? I find growing apart from a friend to be harder than some type of massive blowout...I just graduated from college and find myself growing distant from friends and I don't hate it because we are moving into different phases of life but do you confront the fact that you're growing distant or let it just happen? oxoxoxo you got me through college LP! Keep on doing you!
For Q and A: when I meet new people, often the first question asked is about what I do for work. I am terrible at small talk and breaking the ice. What other questions do you suggest?
Rich asking for you to do it again and at night time 😂 you both are the cutest! Xx
OMGsh, Lily, I think you're the first to realize this about Q&A's...maybe a bit dramatic, but TH-camrs are the ones consuming Q&A's (assuming they're posted here) and I'm sure your TH-cam-only fam would love to contribute! So smart! Also, I've noticed your travel-induced motion sickness. Personally, I have motion sickness and vertigo, but I loved riding in a hot air balloon because it was so peaceful. I wonder how take off and landing will affect you--they were a tad dicey for me, but well worth the few moments of discomfort. Bon voyage!
Hey Lily! Great vlog as always :) So, here's my question for you upcoming Q&A: How do you make new friends as an adult, especially when working for yourself? I'd really appreciate your perspective on this as it's something I struggle with quite a lot myself. Have a lovely weekend! x
How to get along with coworkers or people you just don't bond with
R KR omg i have this problem so much! A lot of the time its a generation/age thing if most of your coworkers have been in the job for years.
R KR yes definitely!!!!
Hi Lily! Great vlog, my question re: friendship is did you find it hard when leaving for uni/different school or college knowing that you wouldn't see your friends every day or week? Or have you found it that it has made your friendships stronger? Have a good week. xx
For the Q&A on friendship: Do you have any advice for how to maintain close friendships when everyone is so busy with their own lives, possibly living in different cities? I'm 22 and I've noticed recently my friends and I are all starting new and different things, it's great but I find it difficult to keep up sometimes. Love your channel and the podcast, keep up the great work!
Any advice on long distance friendship? as you have a few friends that don't live in the UK. And I absolutely love watching your videos, especially your vlogs....I wait for you to upload every Wednesday and Sunday ❤❤
So excited you ended with a friend as well as a fellow TH-camr! Always love seeing your vlogs pop up in my sub box and this one was no exception.
For the Q&A: how do you deal with maintaining friendships and making plans when everyone is so busy with individual lives/work/significant others/etc? I usually find I'm so tired after work that making plans feels stressful and/or limiting sometimes. Also, what are some tips on starting friend traditions like New Year's Eve or secret santa pub nights?
For Q&A: do you have any advice to really keep in touch with friends that live abroad? Especially if they live in a diffetent timezone.
I'm starting uni in September so would love to know how you maintained friendships and made new ones!
We are so similar, what you said about having Q&A’s on certain topics rather than random xx
Lily where is the storage from in which you put your make up on ? I actually love it☺️
Q&A: You're not shy about including your good friends in your videos, how do you juggle your busy work life, relationship with Rich, and make your friends a priority too?
Lily you said white dress and pasta are not a good idea then you wore a white t-shirt 😂. Even I do that and waiting for podcast season 2. Season 1 was so so good. xx
Just watched this and OMG, laughed out loud when you said sensi-tivity. That is something I would have done.
Great vlog as always! ☺️
i WIIIIIISH your vlogs were like 40 minutes long hahaha like zoe's ones 😂
wow everything you get sent! what a job 😍
