Hello Enchanted ones! Really hope you enjoy the video ❤ It is my Birthday today of all days so I'm off celebrating like a fairy should- in style with the trees!! I will reply to messages tomorrow on my birthday boxing day! All my love, Alwyn ❤❤
I love your childlike wonder. Too many people lose that as they get older, but it's so important for our joy and happiness. You see the magic in nature, and you appreciate it, and it gives you so much back in return. It's magical to watch. Don't ever stop being you, Alwyn! We need more people like you in this world!
Never loose that inner child. It makes life so much more bearable. I recently turned 60 and my inner child sat with me and agreed that it too cannot believe that so much time has passed....
This was a lovely vlog Alwyn ☺. It really helped me, thank you. I now only have myself (and my Kits 🐾🐱🐈). Having lost my husband Terry back in December 💔. I am 71 but can still relate to you in so many ways. With love, light and blessings xx
@@TheAnimalsMagicShop thank you for your kind words and understanding. Indeed it is not, so very hard right now. Sending love, light & Blessings 🐾🐾😢☺ xx
i am so sorry, I hope your kittens give you lots of peace and love. What a sweet corner of the internet it is when strangers can comfort one another. we need more of this in the world!
Happy Birthday!!! 🧚🏽♂️🧚🏾♀️🧚♀️✨ After watching this, my husband giggled and said, "she collects the same things as you! ..... She even journals?..." 😊❤ I hope your birthday is everything magical ✨ and you celebrate with the Faeries. ❤🧚♀️🧚🏾♀️🧚🏽♂️
And yes!!! I'd absolutely LOVE to get updates on your wedding plans!! My reception was literally FULL of Faeries from all over the world🌎🧚♀️🧚🏾♀️🧚🏽♂️✨ they brought such magic 🪄 I ordered live moss that was on every table. I had mushrooms in my bouquet with magnolias, Calla lilies, ferns, and Bells of Ireland. I had trees with the soft glow of lanterns everywhere, there were white wisteria wreaths hanging above the dance floor.. my wedding was held in an old dairy Barn with 35 ft cathedral ceilings... I had a bunch of tree stumps brought in with floral arrangements of Magnolias... But really, it was the Faerie magic that made it amazing. ❤
Really great, feel good video Alwyn. I loved the phrase at the very end, " If we ever lose everything or anything, it always comes down to the fact that we will always have ourselves and our heart." That really stuck with me, it's beautiful❤
I had a grandfather tree for years until a storm took it & I truly cried. It was a wise old tree. How I miss its shade & hugs! I’m a 70 yr old grandmom & the only way I can “feel” my childlike self is when I’m with my aunt…she is the only family I have left from my childhood. She always made me happy & smelled so good. All of my childhood memories of her were wonderful. As I grew into an adult though I found not to expect any kind of response from her whenever I needed her opinion, wanted to confide in her or have deep conversation with her because she didn’t seem to know what to do with it & still doesn’t. Lol All of that aside, as an adult I still get that childhood excitement whenever I know I’m going to see her & spend time with her. But I miss having someone to open my adult heart to, who also knew me as a child…I miss my mother & Dad with that.
That tiny spoon is for an antique salt cellar. They usually were small Crystal dishes and people scooped salt out to sprinkle it instead of salt shakers. And the butterfly! How gorgeous ❤️ I can’t believe they are out already. Ironically they love the salt on our hands 🤩 Loved this! Thank you ❤️❤️
I was in a deep depression last year even in the summer when I'm usually pretty happy. I think I broke my own heart last year with the thought that childhood me would be so disappointed in how my life has gone so far. I didn't do anything the way she wanted...at least in my most negative mindset that's what I thought. I'm trying to come out of that depression and these videos help a lot. 🧚♂️🧚🧚♀️
@@seeWheat Yes she's lovely. The internet has its dark side but the beauty of it is in finding people like her exist. I've always had a touch of that magic in me. When I was a kid I'd always notice almost every tree had a face you could notice in the patterns the bark made. I loved everything nature and fairy tales and would spend countless hours outside rambling and imagining. But adult life and stress got in the way of my whimsical nature for a while. Alwyn shows us that you can hold onto that beautiful part of yourself and nurture and embrace it even in this adult world and that's exactly what I'm going to do more of. Planning many visits to my own enchanted wood this spring and summer. I hope you come out of your depression and rekindle the magic you had in you all along. 😊
@@ClaireGreen-wd2gm Thank you for your comments. It's nice to have a kindred spirit. I too have stories of when I was a child. I had this secret place I would go to watch nature all around me. Butterflies of every color in my hair and everywhere. I often climbed the trees there and ate from the orchards. So long ago. I'm working on finding peace in my heart once more.
Oh, lovely Alwyn! My most favorite thing in this video was just seeing and feeling your utter joy! Skipping in the mossy wood, brewing magical potions, building a beautiful home for your inner child, and planning your dreamy wedding - it is all so magickal and delightful! Thank you so much for sharing this and inspiring us!
I love your honesty and vulnerability Alwyn! Beautiful photos on your dressing table of your Grandma and of you. You really look like her! Enchanted birthday!❤
Aww thankyou! I actually don't really look like my immediate mum or dad at all! I often think about how i look like my grandma and her mum as they really made the eggs that were given to my mum that made me!
My dad passed away a few days ago tomorrow is his funeral. I needed this I felt like he wanted me to hear this message thank you alwyn your videos always bring me happiness ❤ also so excited to see your wedding though im so happy for you❤
I love your videos Alwyn! Please make a video about your wedding! I'm so excited about it, and can't wait to see what you come up with. I also appreciate the inner child part of your video! I'm 64 and very in touch with my inner child so watching all of ❤💜 your videos makes me happy! I wish you both the best and lots of love.
i am forever grateful i discovered your channel! These video scrapbooks have become a haven of mindfulness and spirituality for me. i have never once watched a video of yours and left not feeling inspired 💌
I really loved the part about not liking your ears and then realizing you are an elf.. and reminders of mom and grandma. You are such a beautiful elf! I was just thinkkng of the things we are insecure about that others never noticed. Our family looks like elves as well. Bless you and thank you for another healing video.
Just wanted to say that I used to have a huge pine tree under which I would sweep out pretend rooms and pretend it was my fairy home. And I love how you honor your inner child! ❤
I love the sponsors of your video 🧚🧚♂🧚♀. This video felt like a big hug! Beauitful dressing table and also with your grandma. And wow gorgeous picture of you. ❤😍. I love the inner child work. I look forward to doing this. And hahaha to the end :D 🤗
Omg, I'm reclaiming the colour pink too this year! I developed an aversion to pink as a little girl because of how much it was shoved down our throats as kids that girls have to like pink and everything catered to you as a little girl is all pink... I'm headed to my 30th birthday and finally rediscovering how much I actually love pink and "girly" colours. I think the Barbie movie also played it's part in bringing my attention back to how growing up understanding the disdain towards everything feminine cut me off from that part of myself pretty early on. I learned to feel shame and disdain towards those parts of myself too. And I'd had an inkling that that was something I might want to to reclaim for a while, but it really took that movie to bring it to the forefront of my mind and truly awaken my inner child to how much joy most shades of pink and girliness do actually bring her and how there's no shame to be held over that. Now that I am an adult and, as you said, allowed to draw and paint on my walls, I intend to paint my kitchen cabinets burgundy and my bedroom sunset pinkand my inner child would have me paint every room a different shade of pastel pinks and purples if I let her -not sure I can afford this much paint this year, though, amidst all of my other home projects... And I used to love yellow too. It was my favourite colour as toddler. And I feel the yearning to acknowledge and honour my little girl self and let her have the joys she was denied, I want to feel loved and seen in that way. Thank you so, so much for this video and the regular reminders to not indulge in judgement, because that's really the internalised shame taking over. The reminder of the importance and pure love and hapiness that reside in honouring our inner child! This was a very needed and welcome message that really came in perfect timing too for me! Much love and gratefulness to you!
My favorite part of this video is your dressing table because I believe that the things we have on it are all of the things that make up who we are! It’s such a magical place to begin one’s day and even more magical at night when lamplight transforms it into….something more. 🌲🌺🌲 Also, I too have begun collecting things I lost when I was small and have bought them back again which makes me feel whole. Embracing and nurturing the inner child.
Happy Birthday Alwyn 🍀🌲❇️💚 I really enjoyed this video. Today I went to the forest, I gathered gifts that fell from the trees, sang a little tune, seen a momma deer with her yearling and thanked God and the universe for a beautiful day.🌿
Sorry missed saying happy birthday on your birthday but I just found you few days ago and I'm so glad I did. So happy birthday and I love nature and the rain
Happiest of Birthdays dear sweet Alwyn 🥳🎂🎉 Oliver and I hope it has been a day as lovely as you! May all of your birthday wishes come true! Sending you so much Love and Light on this blessed day! 💖🕯️
Thank You So Much Alwyn 💚 This Video will be entered into My Gratitude Journal as I am So Grateful for everything I have learnt by Watching it...Brightest Blessings To You 💚🌳💚
Your passion is so uplifting. Self love has to be the ultimate healing power we can give. Once we've allowed ourselves to love who we truly are we can love outwards and radiate. Wishing you a fabulous wedding next year 💚🖤
I loved the entire video. My favorite part was when you talked about your grandmother and how important she was to you. It brought tears to my eyes. I live with my granddaughter who is 5 and have been with her since she was born. I hope she remembers me with such love when I am gone. Much love to you. ❤❤❤
This is the first video I’ve ever watched of yours. Getting back into my witchcraft, your video was honestly such a beautiful thing for me to see getting back into this.
Thank you lady oak for sharing this relaxing and inspiring vid you are a beautiful soul ❤and may the the blessings of the goddess be with you always blessed be
I am IN LOVE with your videos. I was wondering would you be able to make a video talking about the sabbats and what they mean to you? I would love to have them all in one video❤
Thank you once again for taking me into your world of enchantment, it took me away from the negativity that this life surrounds us with sometimes. Many thanks Alwyn and many more please xx
I love your bouquet and candlesticks that you created. I use to do all the flowers for weddings and it was pure joy creating and seeing and smelling the flowers, the ferns, the rustle of ribbons. Takes me back.
@AlwynOak thank you for this type of video. Some of us tend to forget about self love and self care as we are so busy taking care of others. My favorite parts of your videos are scenes of the woods 🥰 I miss traveling through the woods haven't done it 6 years. 😢 This year l am going to add it to my to do list. maybe even bring some of nature home with me. 😊
Alwyn I’ve just met you and I feel like you’re my soul sister! You embody all of my love for nature and earthly beauty and even your intimidation of color. Watching you and learning is my new obsession. Thank you so for sharing yourself and your amazing talent and your inner child who I believe speaks to me the most ❤
I loved what you did to your wall behind the alter. I am 66 years young, and grew up at a time when we had to do as we were told as children. Being the free spirit that I now know I am, this did suppress me, and affected me all my life, and it is only in the past few years I realize what damage it did to me. My parents thought they were doing the right thing, but how different things would have been today. So I nurture the child within me, that can now be free. I want to stay forever young. Thank you for your lovely video. xxx
Once again, I am charmed by your sense of whimsy & delight. I also love hydrangeas - my granny had several huge hydrangea bushes around her cottage that was located in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina (in the US). When they would fade & get that pale, papery look, I would call them "ghost flowers" because they looked almost like their bodies had faded but their spirits were left behind.
Happy Birthday, Alwyn 🎂 💚Thank you for your gift of a new video - it's truly uplifting and inspiring. I shed a tear when you commented about the preciousness of an old lady's smile. I lost my eldery mum 7 months ago and this resonated with me in the moment and I instantly conjured up her smile in my head...thank you 😍 Sending love to you 🌱🌿🌳🍄 xxx
Dear Alwyn, I hope you had a wonderful birthday 🧚♀ 🍀🌻 I love all your videos! Thank you for sharing your magical thoughts and fairytale inspirations. My warmest regards from Heidelberg in Germany, Jasmin 💖
Love your videos Alwyn. They’re very soothing. I learn from you. I’ve just gotten out of the hospital and my medical condition has been bringing me down. I appreciate this video
@@AlwynOak At the Sabbat rituals I hosted in 2022, the participants were able to take a little bottle and put some remnants of each of the elements that were used in the rituals for the directions in their bottle to keep on their altar if they wanted to. I still have all of mine. The water has evaporated, but the salt, ash and teeny feathers are still there!
May you have a wonderful Birthday!. 🎉 Your videos are always inspiring. I too used to make potions when I was a little girl. And I still like to make remedies and such... and your ears are fine. 😊 Thank you for making videos and sharing all these things with us. Again, happy birthday. 🌻💚🎊
I like this so much! We got to spend so much time in The Forest. I think my favorite part was making the little home for your inner child. I just love the idea of small, secret homes.
I finally made time to sit and focus on your video, my Gram passed away on the 10th so the week following was hectic with planning her memorial. She was my last grandparent so it feels like it is up to me and my generation to keep her and all our loved ones spirit alive by keeping them close and having their things displayed & making their recipes. I love all your alters, for each part of your day! I used to make potions too & I still remember the smell of one because it was awful lol, that is what you get when you use all the spices & Palmolive dish soap lol🤢. Can't wait to see all you share with your wedding plans, so exciting!❤
Happy birthday alwyn🎂🎊💕 I love love and self-care videos. The whole video is beautiful. I am waiting for the next video and congratulations on the wedding 🥰❤️
I LOVE your comment "I love pink now, who am I? " as I went through the same thing with pink after connecting via self love work with rose quartz and rose essence ! 😊
I love this video! You are such a beautiful person ❤. Thank you for let us know to enjoy the little things of life. A cup of tea or cuddling with our pet. And Happy Birthday to you! Have a lovely day. Mine is next week. Looking forward to it❤
You alway remind me to be more fun-loving and child-like. And you always make me smile. So many beautiful self-love ideas. I’ve just done my inner child list and blimey I’d forgotten a lot of it, especially how much into playing music, singing and dancing I was . 🎶 🎵💃
The creativity, whimsy, and intention you pour into everything is so comforting ❤ makes me want to sit down and make all the crafty art things my inner child wants to make!
Happy Birthday to Alwyn the sweetest fairy in the Enchanted Woods ❤Enjoy your day! 😊 Lovely video as always. I always wanted to paint on my walls but I’m not allowed because the landlord says no 😢 but watching you paint on your walls made me extra happy 😊❤ And yaaassss I would love to see more of your wedding idea’s unfold. Pretty sure they will all be Enchanting.❤
Oh never mind your landlord! What they don't know can't harm them! As long as you leave it how it was ! Maybe you could paint what you want on 2 huge runs of plain lining paper for walls? Drawing pins to attach it aren't really visible when you remove it - also it gives you chance to practise the look before it goes up. I was thinking of doing a huge portal effect on my bedroom wall into a faerie wood! Go for it! Blessings to you xx
Oh no! We are renting here and I didn't tell my landlord that i painted and when she came round to inspect it she actually loved it!! It was quite funny!
@AlwynOak LOL! Nice! 😄 I'm glad your landlord was cool with it. I mean, come on, look how pretty your whole place looks. 😍 The cozy vibes and magic and whimsy ☺️ I'm sure your landlord felt the enchanting vibes and was like "I wish my place looked this beautiful " ❤️
@wendysmith7159 LOL! Truuuueeeeee 🤣 I should do it anyway and not say anything till I move out 🤣 Yeah I was thinking of painting on fabric or something but I still want to hang stuff but not poke holes on the fabric so I'm still thinking about it ☺️ but yes how dare they try to limit my art skills 🤣 And you should definitely make your vision into a reality. Sounds too Epic not to get made ❤️☺️ sending happy vibes for your projects 🤗
Your video is the only one I would love to view again! Thank you so much for all of this. I loved it all!! The self-LOVE focus is so important, and you gave me wonderful ideas! I don't know if you have heard of Galentines - but I am watching this on that day: Feb 13th! So perfect to remember all the love around us, and for the most important - self-love.🥰
I can’t pick a favorite part of this … the whole thing is perfectly enchanting. Wedding? Yes yes ! I love rain too , for all the reasons you do and more .☔️💚🧸
It is amazing that you have such a beautiful magical wood to enjoy during winter. Looking outside we have a foot plus of snow. But I like to use this time to ready all my garden seeds and plan out my large garden that I like to call my magic garden.....The flowers I plant in it are cherished by the Fairies as well as myself.... Happy Spring to all......Thanks Alwyn....
Hi I just thank you. The past few months I not feeling myself. I too woods near my & makes feel better when go hear. I got 3 fairly dolls I one of them with too the woods. We look fun & took lots of pictures of her too playing in small tree & the flowers too . The small girl come out of me & lots of fun . Happy self love xx
Hello Enchanted ones! Really hope you enjoy the video ❤ It is my Birthday today of all days so I'm off celebrating like a fairy should- in style with the trees!! I will reply to messages tomorrow on my birthday boxing day! All my love, Alwyn ❤❤
Happy birthday 🎉❤
My son cullen had his yesterday, birthday wishes sent your way
Oh!! Dear Happy Birthday I will do celebrate your birthday 🌼 by baking cookies 🍪
Happy birthday!! 🤗💐
Happy Birthday!
"She wanted to grow into somebody like me." That brought a tear to my eye. I'm going to reflect on who little me wanted to be. 💜
It's so emotional isn't it! That emotion is our inner child trying to tell us something
I love your childlike wonder. Too many people lose that as they get older, but it's so important for our joy and happiness. You see the magic in nature, and you appreciate it, and it gives you so much back in return. It's magical to watch. Don't ever stop being you, Alwyn! We need more people like you in this world!
i agree
Oh look it's one of my favorite channels commenting on one of my other favorite channels!
Never loose that inner child. It makes life so much more bearable. I recently turned 60 and my inner child sat with me and agreed that it too cannot believe that so much time has passed....
Awww that's so lovely! 🧸✨️
This was a lovely vlog Alwyn ☺. It really helped me, thank you. I now only have myself (and my Kits 🐾🐱🐈). Having lost my husband Terry back in December 💔. I am 71 but can still relate to you in so many ways. With love, light and blessings xx
Wishing you comfort and solace🦋
I'm so sorry about your husband and wish you strength. Being older and on one's own ain't for sissies, I know. Thank goodness for animals.
@@TheAnimalsMagicShop thank you for your kind words and understanding. Indeed it is not, so very hard right now. Sending love, light & Blessings 🐾🐾😢☺ xx
i am so sorry, I hope your kittens give you lots of peace and love. What a sweet corner of the internet it is when strangers can comfort one another. we need more of this in the world!

I live with my granddaughter who is 5 and have been with her since she was born. I hope she remembers me with such love when I am gone. Much love to you. ❤❤❤
Alwyn, thank you for helping me to forget about my problems. Even for a short moment. Precious
Aww so glad it does 💚🧸✨️
Alwyn love, you are an inspiration! You always help me feel better and inspired. Please don't ever stop. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

Happy birthday beautiful ❤❤❤
This is the first video I’ve ever watched of yours. Getting back into my witchcraft, your video was honestly such a beautiful thing for me to see getting back into this.
Planning your wedding makes me so happy. I love to make magic happen through parties and shows and a wedding is the best of all.
Thank you lady oak for sharing this relaxing and inspiring vid you are a beautiful soul ❤and may the the blessings of the goddess be with you always blessed be
And Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. 🎉 Would enjoy watching your wedding plan journey in a series. 😊
I am IN LOVE with your videos. I was wondering would you be able to make a video talking about the sabbats and what they mean to you? I would love to have them all in one video❤
❤❤❤I would love to see more of your wedding planinng🎉
Yay! Thankyou
Thank you once again for taking me into your world of enchantment, it took me away from the negativity that this life surrounds us with sometimes.
Many thanks Alwyn and many more please xx
I love your bouquet and candlesticks that you created. I use to do all the flowers for weddings and it was pure joy creating and seeing and smelling the flowers, the ferns, the rustle of ribbons. Takes me back.
Happy Birthday!!! I literally have been watching you since 55k and watching you grow and flourish brings such a smile to my face.
Wow omg thankyou so much!!
@AlwynOak thank you for this type of video. Some of us tend to forget about self love and self care as we are so busy taking care of others. My favorite parts of your videos are scenes of the woods 🥰 I miss traveling through the woods haven't done it 6 years. 😢 This year l am going to add it to my to do list. maybe even bring some of nature home with me. 😊
Alwyn I’ve just met you and I feel like you’re my soul sister! You embody all of my love for nature and earthly beauty and even your intimidation of color. Watching you and learning is my new obsession. Thank you so for sharing yourself and your amazing talent and your inner child who I believe speaks to me the most ❤
I loved what you did to your wall behind the alter. I am 66 years young, and grew up at a time when we had to do as we were told as children. Being the free spirit that I now know I am, this did suppress me, and affected me all my life, and it is only in the past few years I realize what damage it did to me. My parents thought they were doing the right thing, but how different things would have been today. So I nurture the child within me, that can now be free. I want to stay forever young. Thank you for your lovely video. xxx
Once again, I am charmed by your sense of whimsy & delight. I also love hydrangeas - my granny had several huge hydrangea bushes around her cottage that was located in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina (in the US). When they would fade & get that pale, papery look, I would call them "ghost flowers" because they looked almost like their bodies had faded but their spirits were left behind.
Oh my goodness thats beautiful!!!
Happy Birthday, Alwyn 🎂 💚Thank you for your gift of a new video - it's truly uplifting and inspiring. I shed a tear when you commented about the preciousness of an old lady's smile. I lost my eldery mum 7 months ago and this resonated with me in the moment and I instantly conjured up her smile in my head...thank you 😍 Sending love to you 🌱🌿🌳🍄 xxx
Why your videos are so enchanted💞 and magical l love your video whenever i feel low i watched your videos and it feels so nice 😊
Wow, thank you darling
Dear Alwyn, I hope you had a wonderful birthday 🧚♀ 🍀🌻
I love all your videos! Thank you for sharing your magical thoughts and fairytale inspirations. My warmest regards from Heidelberg in Germany, Jasmin 💖
Love your videos Alwyn. They’re very soothing. I learn from you. I’ve just gotten out of the hospital and my medical condition has been bringing me down. I appreciate this video
My favorite part was all of the tiny things from nature in the little bottles. I love that!
Hehe thankyou 🥰🥰
@@AlwynOak At the Sabbat rituals I hosted in 2022, the participants were able to take a little bottle and put some remnants of each of the elements that were used in the rituals for the directions in their bottle to keep on their altar if they wanted to. I still have all of mine. The water has evaporated, but the salt, ash and teeny feathers are still there!
Wishing you a Happy Birthday 🎉and can't wait to see more treasures you collect for your upcoming Wedding 💍
May you have a wonderful Birthday!. 🎉 Your videos are always inspiring. I too used to make potions when I was a little girl. And I still like to make remedies and such... and your ears are fine. 😊 Thank you for making videos and sharing all these things with us. Again, happy birthday. 🌻💚🎊
Happy birthday! Every video you make brings me so much joy, and I’m so happy you are getting married!
Blessed be!
Happy birthday, sweet Alwyn! Thank you for your inspiring videos and magical music, your creativity has no limits. Big hug to Charly! 🐈⬛🌟🍀❤
My wedding and wedding dress will be enchanted vibes as well! And I’m glad that I’m not the only one!😂New subscriber here💚🍀😇
I like this so much! We got to spend so much time in The Forest. I think my favorite part was making the little home for your inner child. I just love the idea of small, secret homes.
I finally made time to sit and focus on your video, my Gram passed away on the 10th so the week following was hectic with planning her memorial. She was my last grandparent so it feels like it is up to me and my generation to keep her and all our loved ones spirit alive by keeping them close and having their things displayed & making their recipes. I love all your alters, for each part of your day! I used to make potions too & I still remember the smell of one because it was awful lol, that is what you get when you use all the spices & Palmolive dish soap lol🤢. Can't wait to see all you share with your wedding plans, so exciting!❤
💜💜💜happy birthday 💜💜💜 all the best, have a wonderful evening 💜💜💜
Thank you so much 🤗
A Fairy’s Guide to Self Care-just what I needed right now. Thank you so much, Alwyn.
You are so welcome darling!
Happy birthday alwyn🎂🎊💕
I love love and self-care videos. The whole video is beautiful. I am waiting for the next video and congratulations on the wedding 🥰❤️
Love the silver butterfly brush and mirror and comb!!
I LOVE your comment "I love pink now, who am I? " as I went through the same thing with pink after connecting via self love work with rose quartz and rose essence ! 😊
🧚♂️Have a very Happy Birthday 🧚♀️🩷🧚🌲
I love this video! You are such a beautiful person ❤. Thank you for let us know to enjoy the little things of life. A cup of tea or cuddling with our pet. And Happy Birthday to you! Have a lovely day. Mine is next week. Looking forward to it❤
This video really comforted me while getting ready to go to sleep in as stressful time and yes please a wedding planning series!
You alway remind me to be more fun-loving and child-like. And you always make me smile. So many beautiful self-love ideas. I’ve just done my inner child list and blimey I’d forgotten a lot of it, especially how much into playing music, singing and dancing I was . 🎶 🎵💃
I hope you had a lovely birthday day! I wish you all the best and thank you for always inspiring with your beautiful videos! 🥰🤗
Happy birthday, beautiful girl have a fantastic day so lovely to see you back just love your videos xx
I love the connection to the ancestors
Yes please Alwyn would love more wedding planning videos!! ❤️
Happy birthday beautiful Alwyn 💚🌿🧚♀️💚🌿🧚♀️
Beautiful enchanting video Happy Birthday sweet Alwyn 💐🌷🌿🎂🎉🔮
Happy birthday Alwyn!💕
So nice to know I'm not the only one who puts quilts into their covers that way...
It's so much funnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!
The creativity, whimsy, and intention you pour into everything is so comforting ❤ makes me want to sit down and make all the crafty art things my inner child wants to make!
Happy Birthday to Alwyn the sweetest fairy in the Enchanted Woods ❤Enjoy your day! 😊 Lovely video as always. I always wanted to paint on my walls but I’m not allowed because the landlord says no 😢 but watching you paint on your walls made me extra happy 😊❤ And yaaassss I would love to see more of your wedding idea’s unfold. Pretty sure they will all be Enchanting.❤
Oh never mind your landlord! What they don't know can't harm them! As long as you leave it how it was ! Maybe you could paint what you want on 2 huge runs of plain lining paper for walls? Drawing pins to attach it aren't really visible when you remove it - also it gives you chance to practise the look before it goes up. I was thinking of doing a huge portal effect on my bedroom wall into a faerie wood! Go for it! Blessings to you xx
Oh no! We are renting here and I didn't tell my landlord that i painted and when she came round to inspect it she actually loved it!! It was quite funny!
@AlwynOak LOL! Nice! 😄 I'm glad your landlord was cool with it. I mean, come on, look how pretty your whole place looks. 😍 The cozy vibes and magic and whimsy ☺️ I'm sure your landlord felt the enchanting vibes and was like "I wish my place looked this beautiful " ❤️
@wendysmith7159 LOL! Truuuueeeeee 🤣 I should do it anyway and not say anything till I move out 🤣 Yeah I was thinking of painting on fabric or something but I still want to hang stuff but not poke holes on the fabric so I'm still thinking about it ☺️ but yes how dare they try to limit my art skills 🤣 And you should definitely make your vision into a reality. Sounds too Epic not to get made ❤️☺️ sending happy vibes for your projects 🤗
Your video is the only one I would love to view again! Thank you so much for all of this. I loved it all!! The self-LOVE focus is so important, and you gave me wonderful ideas! I don't know if you have heard of Galentines - but I am watching this on that day: Feb 13th! So perfect to remember all the love around us, and for the most important - self-love.🥰
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL GIRL ❤❤❤
Felicidades🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Un video muy especial y divertido!!❤❤❤ Muy graciosa bajo la lluvia!!😂😂. Gracias de nuevo!!!😊😊
