Hi Anna, I would love to see some more clips of your days outside the house, and also little snippets of the more normal parts of your life, such as cleaning and pottering around doing jobs, without speaking if that makes sense! Find those videos very enjoyable these days, the more mundane and ‘normal’ the better for some reason 😅 Your garden is absolutely stunning. Well done!

[@martep1816]

The sideeye that your tree is giving you during your outside lunch break is giving me the giggles 😂 looks a bit like e.t! Have a lovely summer❤

[@sunnysideup33]

True.😂

[@veesvoyages]

Omg I only just noticed after seeing your comment, it really does! how funny!🤣🤣🤣

[@AlexCollinsDesigns]

I'd love more videos with clips filmed over a week. 🙋🏻‍♀

[@SiriusScientist]

I used the app for a year before we bought our house, and my first purchase was the tread. I had a third party bike I was using with the app, and upgraded to the bike + last year and the combo is such a game changer. I was a long time viewer in your original flat and first move, but stopped watching KZbin for a while during life madness. Glad to get reacquainted and see how things have changed for you too. It looks like a lot of our hobbies evolved similarly, gardening, sewing, fitness/running, and glad to see you’re still commenting on books and cookbooks too

[@AmandaATXo.o]

I feel like social media is already too much of a 'highlight reel'. Personally, I prefer these single-day chatty vlogs, showing the little/mundane parts of life.

[@elieska]

I love the daily focus, makes it more realistic than only weekly highlights. Love the garden and sewing content!

[@pinesandocean]

wouldnt want to lose your chatty day in the life's, but absolutely love the idea to see some more 'highlight-footage' that you collected over a few weeks :) aaaalso: THE GARDEN! I CANT! How beautiful! you guys have done an amazing job!

[@brontec9769]

Absolutely agree with you on not showing your kid! What I would love, however is maybe some tips on kids products or toys, furniture etc that you find really great or some of the kids orientated interiors for Ralph (my daughter is around the same age, so it's always nice to see how other parents style kids rooms). So a bit on how you navigate that could be nice, but NO to filming him. Let him be in his kids world, and it is every right for you to protect him. I really love your content at the moment, especially the style elements that have come back into your vlogs. :)P.S the garden is sooo lovely! And gardens are sooo much work to maintain and to get them to flourish, so well done to Mark!

[@emilyjimly]

I came here to say something similar! I have a 5 month old baby boy and we also don’t show him online. I’d love however to see/hear clothing brands, products, or activities you love to do with him. Could you make your style guides for babies/toddlers? 😂 Anyway, love all your content Anna!

[@msbumble]

Second (third?) this- but was going to say how your organize kids things like clothes or toys! How to keep things sane would be very helpful!

[@carmencrozier5215]

This video is such a treat !! almost 45 min of Anna on a Sunday morning is amazing. I just had a late breakfast and got ready all while watching this video. Such a nice way to start the day. And definitely yes to vlogs with snippets of fun bits filmed over two weeks or so !!

[@veesvoyages]

Loving the whole garden and the dining area in your garden, looks like it'd be so lovely on a sunny day sitting out having food in. I think the video snippets or compilation over the course of the week sounds good!

[@dawnpotts5941]

I love KZbin influencers!! And you’re one of my favourites ❤ even thought I’m old enough to be your mum at 63!

[@ruthsdyspraxiacontent]

Love this comment :) age is just a number after all!

[@samburgessuk]

How about doing a monthly vlog with lots of clips over the month? I love your long vlogs; they're always my go-to videos.

[@PeterPiperPancake]

So happy to see long form content coming back. Your vlogs have accompanied me getting ready and doing the washing up more times than I can count. This vlog in particular is such a good watch and your fashion content feels like it is just going from strength to strength (:

[@melng9]

Wow, the backyard garden already looks amazing!

[@karenalfke6081]

Personally I love the blog-style ‘clips from my week’ videos - feels like hanging out with friends! Would love it if you found time for more of those…

[@saraantonelli3586]

Love these videos! Like you said it’s the perfect content to have playing while I’m getting ready or tinkering around the house, then l hear something that catches my attention and need to rewind. This happens throughout the video lol so a 43 minute vid take me like 2 hours because I’m pausing, rewinding etc. you are lovely and keep up the great work🤍

[@Wanneb]

Your garden/yard looks so cozy I would love to have that!

[@pannedbyanna]

i really love sit down get ready with me's ❤ it's usually the content i watch while getting ready myself and it's so calming

[@Heather.C.ButterflySage]

Yes to spontaneous vlogging moments. So good to shake up a Virgo’s routine!

[@traceyvincent2217]

Love that you're becoming a sewist! Sewing is my passion.

[@Ami3_]

Garden is looking amazing! Please stack some bricks in your raised steel pond (create like a staircase) so that wildlife can get out, that way you’ll have more of a variety and nothing will suffer from not being able to get out♥️

[@lizseville1]

Fascinated by the base of your tree when you were sitting having lunch - looks like some kind of cute animal. The merit sets are so tempting.

[@RenMar1108]

I don’t care what you’re talking about, I love listening to you. Long form is awesome

[@glamouriseverything]

I enjoy home vlogs the most, no matter if one day or several ❤

[@amenashahabuddin6421]

This was SO fun, it felt like just hanging out with a friend. I love the idea of spontaneous vlogging, especially occasional long vlogs!

[@kathleenm.5086]

More vlogs please yes! They’re your best videos ❤

[@kimmo4674]

Always looking forward to sundayssss Wow the backyard idea is so cool!! I am currently obsessed with Carolina Pinglo’s videos, she does vintage shopping and living content (mostly 1930s-1940’s)✨✨

[@suzanaluis2975]

Just wanted to let you know that you were the main influence of me loving Merit since I saw you wearing it like a year ago!!

[@piafleig]

A 43 minute vlog?! Wow, that's new! Can't wait to watch😊

[@ireneubi6815]

Your garden is so beautiful Anna!! I’ll now be the person you were with your neighbours and envy your outdoor space so much, it must be so calming so sit out there xx I would have personally kept the sofa facing the garden as I’d prefer sitting there as opposed to the chairs but the way you’ve switched them around is still really lovely 🌳❤️

[@Alfakkin]

Your home and garden are very well integrated... beautiful renovation.

[@emk6117]

Can’t wait to order…have been waiting for a good collab to place first ever order!

[@LindaDelsnider]

Enjoy seeing sites walking about home, London, events etc. yes keep vlogging!! ❤🇨🇦

[@16demolka]

I love weekly vlogs (especially superlong ones from Madeleine Olivia), there are more interesting for me, because you do much more different things and touch on various topics :)

[@johannaarroyo6832]

I love the idea of more videos clips during the week!

[@vchrocks]

Such a treat to watch the long vlog at the end of the day (while washing the milk bottles of my 5m old 😛). That dress looks so great on you!

[@Sarah-yy9gp]

Weekly for sure!

[@aly_titovets]

Anna, that garden furniture is stunning, and yes, you’re right, you should turn the sofa around, it would look way better😊

[@elinnordli8043]

I love the vlogs of a whole day! :)

[@Yaaae92]

Love these day in the life videos! I have the peloton bike + and have been seriously considering the treadmill but I’m first going to purchase an under standing desk walking pad & if I remain consistent with that I’ll treat myself to peloton treadmill! 😂

[@mhairig]

I love your new format. I'm with you about not having Ralph on your videos, when he is older he might dislike being on your videos all the time therefore it is the right decision IMO. It is totally your decision and no one else should influence that for you xx

[@french_cliches]

I coudl not help but notice ET in your garden! 🤣 Such a nice long summery video! :)

[@emmacurrens1617]

Sewing tip! The more you sew and get comfortable with tailoring, yo don’t need to used as many clips/pins. It’ll also help you move faster on the machine :) I love seeing fashion influencers get into sewing!

[@hannahl610]

When re-hemming trousers you usually want to unpick the original hem first and then iron the legs completely flat, so you have a blank canvas to create a new hem at the correct length. You can double-fold the new hem so it hides the raw edge on the inside, and also look up how to sew an invisible hem - modern machines all have this stitch, it hides the stitch from the outside so it doesn’t matter if your thread is not a perfect colour match. Happy sewing!

[@tofteys]

I love the little face in the tree at 27:45, lol.

[@marwanaghmouchi2399]

Love this video. I'm in Istanbul, and it's hot, I love the makeup and the outfit, it is very appropriate for this weather. I like this Anna Era( I liked them all) I'm halfway through the video, and it's helping me relax on this fine Sunday. Xx

[@kjerstirich7158]

I just tried one of the 30 min hike classes on the Peloton app..they do intervals at different inclines and speeds. 😅 i think you would like those!

[@WaveneyMetcalfe]

Weird question but what’s the gravel you’ve used in your garden, around your cut flower bed and the bistro set? It’s exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

[@maartjeminderhoud]

I love your days in a life vlogs so much!! 🥰 And this thumbnail is beautiful. Next time when I’m in London I will definitely shop some Merit beauty products! But am I the only one who sees a face in the tree in your garden 😂

[@kateyhector5281]

I’m working from home and always in my house lol I would love to see someone else doing the same thing. I also really love a routine but it’s so hard for me to maintain one after a few weeks. Could you touch on that? Is it hard for you to maintain?

[@GeorgiaMatthews-bf8dn]

Love your vlogs!! P.s. just check on your treadmill what setting it is cause that 3 is based off American treadmills I think and in South Africa we use a different setting so its actually = to 4.8 speed on the treadmill at 12 incline for 30 mins! I might be wrong though! xx

[@maree8470]

I think for this summer ditch the cut flowers and fill the bed with annuals for instant impact!!! The house and garden are great!!

[@ruthsdyspraxiacontent]

Love your chat about the process of sewing ! I'm dyspraxic and it feels so hard and unapppealing to me, but it'd be so great if I could do it. Great if I can find disability classes for it

[@Bailey-v2s]

Really lovely vlog, house and garden look great. Re Merit, you mention the set under £100 including the Minimalist stick but I can't see that set?

[@amandag759]

Why don’t merit ship to Australia though?!

[@martinevanheijnsbergen8929]

and mainland Europe 😱 still not. 😢

[@ParisChandler]

love your vlogs!!! 🤍 i also do 12/3/30 and i don’t want to burst the bubble for you but it’s actually 3MPH which equates to 4.8KMPH !! i have managed to get up to 5.2KMPH now and also sweat buckets 🥹😂

[@ireneubi6815]

Can I ask you how many calories you roughly burn by doing the 12/3/30? Xx thank you!!

[@GeorgiaMatthews-bf8dn]

LOL I also just commented on that cause our setting in South Africa is then 4.8 so cant get too excited that it was 3! x

[@gabrielaprusak3811]

Exactly my thought!! 3 MPH is roughly 4.8 kmh and it is ROUGH. I can't breathe after 15 minutes xD

[@piafleig]

I just want to say that I really loved this longer vlog! I'd love to see more of those weekly vlogs - however, I'd be happy to have them once or twice or month, I wouldn't need them every week! As you mentioned vlogging a full day might be difficult for you because of Ralph, so I think having snippets of your days in the course of a week/two weeks/... is perfectly fine! You can just try it out and see whether it works out for you or not. Can I also just say: I think it's absolutely right not to film your child! However I've loved hearing a bit about Ralph (your sentiments on him growing up, the cute things he does etc.). It felt like I connected a bit more with you because of that. Of course protecting his privacy is the most important thing, however I've also loved hearing you talk about your child and the struggle of vlogging a full day without showing him on camera. It has helped me understand some of your difficulties, which I found really valuable. Thank you for sharing! :)

[@mehtaricha86]

it is the sweetest thing! you hemming trousers for your mum ❤️

[@gracewynne5513]

Anna you look super gorgeous in this video. Loving all the green eye makeup tips! Your exercise journey postpartum has been very motivating as well. Mum to a toddler and also loving reformer Pilates 🥰 I can’t watch another video of you saying ‘lee studios’ without asking. Is it not Lié, therefore pronounced ‘Lee-ay’? That’s how it would be pronounced as a French word anyway and I think it means ‘linked’ 🔗

[@erintrolley3074]

I love the essentials club channel for sewing inspo! And just a general channel I watch is Ariel bissett. She is renovating her old home in eastern Canada and it’s so fun to watch!

[@lauraeley6404]

Would love to know where you got your concrete bistro table that your pizza over is on! I’m looking for one just like it

[@brontec9769]

I have a very similar dress from arket - Im guessing it's a reformation dupe :) And yes to little clips of the week!

[@carolinestanley3301]

OK, I might have some advice for your garden. Have you ever thought about perennials for your cut flowers? I can recommend a fabulous book called The Cut Flower Sourcebook: Exceptional Perennials and Woody Plants for Cutting (its a bit of a mouthful) yourself and Mark can take a look through and few out a few plants from there for the area. There's tons of choice and suggestions. Perennials need less TLC and are more drought tolerant, kinda win win. So examples, you could plant some daffodils bulbs in autumn, for spring flowers. A lavender bush for fresh and dried options later on in the year. Annual seeds could be planted in and around these or planted to grow over the top when the perennials die back until next year. So you could over plant sweetpeas over daffs and you would have 2 types of flowers at different times of the year in one area. Anyway hope I didn't bash on, just love bringing in cut flowers from the garden and wanted to help.

[@sbiine]

dear anna, what size is your reformation dress? i would love to order it for a long time but i‘m so unsure about the size 😘

[@maybe800]

Yaay a vlog 🎉🎉

[@lauravalle3766]

You look great in this dress and all your previous dresses. Miss all your OG styles that weren’t baggy/oversized.

[@jesixbe17]

as someone who doesn't sew - with wendy for sewing content! her videos record her sewing journey and they're a joy to watch

[@debbiesheldon5086]

I agree about not wanting to film Ralph but makes it look a bit more real a few of his toys, things lying around has he lives there, love your vlogs but think will help people of a similar age and same stage of life to connect 😊

[@pollykrisstinakerr1662]

What was the ingredients for the dressing? X

[@saraphilipa]

I really wish merit would ship to australia!

[@sunnysideup33]

Not a fan of clips. I love the calmness of a one day experience. Loved todays vlog. Thanks for your work and have a lovely day.

[@cathymccarthy5360]

Small clips during the week 👍🏻💗

[@Alfakkin]

You should plant some roses, Gertrude Jekyll is beautiful ❤

[@JodieRogers]

love the John Lewis set, we got something similar 2 years ago and it's still going strong! Also, I don't have children but can really see why you would choose to keep that private. I can imagine there's a whole lot of pressure/ wondering what's best to do, but I reckon Ralph will grow up to thank you!

[@kiuka]

I'd love more videos with clips filmed over a week also

[@likewise6867]

i recommend Rosery Apparel for sewing content 🏵

[@stephaniex8776]

fun long vlog

[@amandapatton404]

What is the salad dressing recipe pls!

[@auroracharming5531]

I prefer the days highlights not the whole day, I watch a mix on KZbin I love the Why Files, Next Level Soul, Emilio Ortiz, Blowout Professor, Louises Journeyxo, Sarah Ryan the style coach and Nicky Alan, Billy Carson, historical and colour analysis, and lots of what I eat in a day and exercise videos 😊

[@gwenhunter8454]

I like both, full day and sometimes over a few days…. 😂

[@MissSeaworld8]

If it is a full day or clips from several days is both interesting for me. I just prefer a mix of food, garden updates/tours, outfit, what you bought/haul, out and about getting coffee, running arrends, lunch with friends, events, trying om clothes in shops, walk through the park. I really respect that you don't show Ralph, but I feel you can vlog even if he is there, just don't focus on him. It's still very interesting to see what you do as a family as well. Feeling it has gotten a bit too much sitting down, putting on makeup and chatting on this channel. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of you, just a bit too much of the same over and over sometimes. Would love to see more outside the house and doing normal everyday things as well.

[@LiliVanilli248]

Before you put any makeup on I was thinking how perfect your skin looked and I thought you already had makeup on. So there - not red at all in my opinion!

[@jacquieincolour9084]

I love boring stuff around the house. 🙏🏻😅

[@tatianaharrison8573]

Your legs look great you should wear dresses more.

[@nakedflowers10]

Lots of clips would be lovely they are my favourite things to watch too :) whilst I totally agree you shouldn’t show your son - I massively respect that. As a viewer I suppose it would still be nice to see snippets of real life / day to day with a toddler too.. (just not him physically.) I can’t speak for everyone but it’s more than likely that parenthood is now a huge part of all of your OG’s subscribers life too it just makes the content more relevant. 🥰 xxx
