Dean waving in the middle of your description of where you are has me🤣🤣🤣

[@m_m_m9594]

vlogs + travel + fashion + beauty contents all done with such quality -- I'm so impressed and obsessed with your channel -- your travel vlogs and monthly wardrobe Wishlist videos are some of my favourite to watch. Can't wait for March Wishlist video :)

[@PeeweeM80]

This was such a great vlog. Loved all the scenery. 😍

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you! 🤍

[@peachesharrison5979]

Dean at 4:40 gave me a good chuckle! Lovely vlog Brittany- The scenery was absolutely stunning!

[@emmy8526]

Anytime I get an eye irritation, organic chamomile teabags are especially good as compresses (slight poultice and antibacterial effects; also just smell nice and feel extra soothing). Lovely trip to a dream destination!

[@dianemitchell1161]

Spectacular scenery so beautifully filmed! Your commentary could never be ‘boring’, Brittany. You do the best travel blogs - nothing showy or overdone- so that I feel like I’m visiting the place myself with a couple of chums. Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Thanks!

[@katharinaruckert8932]

I love every minute of it, what a nice trip! Thank you, Brittany.

[@fikab8775]

I feel like watching a movie. Such a dreamy trip! Hope you and Dean get back home safely ❤️

[@hannaht616]

This vlog was an absolute delight, it was so calming. Your trips always look incredible. 🤍

[@rebeccahellwig5821]

Dear Brittany, as always a beautiful vlog and I enjoy your and Dean’s nature so much! The fact that you have a Steamer with you made me laugh so hard. I am amazed! We‘ve been going camping with van plus tent in summer now for 3 years (with our daughter, now aged 8). We drive from Germany to the South of France and will be staying for 4 weeks this time. I really love the slow life you are immediately thrown into when camping. I wish I had the discipline to bring a steamer but, seriously, my husband would kill me. 😂 In just roll everything up into boxes. 🤷‍♀️ Take care, you are amazing. Love from Germany XOXOX Rebecca

[@seeit.sewit.sorted6255]

What an unexpected surprise, have missed your camper journeys. Also a Hepworth fan, and her works looked amazing in the garden settings. I definitely need to book a visit.

[@rumdo5617]

Ooh - sea, sunset and seagulls - lovely. Thanks for taking us on holiday with you

[@cat_pb]

Brittany, thank you so so much for showing us your van trip to St. Ives and back, I am stuck in 🇲🇴 Macau without the ability to go home and see my family so this feels like a breath of fresh air! 🌾✨⛰🌊🌬

[@avidreader2316]

The scenery and how you captured it all was so beautiful! So grateful for your vlogs! I also really love the music you use. Very calming.

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@kritikalal5116]

This was such a lovely vlog!! And also a long one ☺️ Lyme Regis looked like such a beautiful quaint little town!! Thoroughly enjoyed this one Brittany ☺️💕

[@Susan-gy2ks]

Gosh I love your vlogs - but especially your travel/van vlogs. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. Hope your eye gets better soon x

[@Mlovesfashion62]

I've struggled with my eyes for a while too :( pro tip: always use two different cleaning pads/wipes, one for each eye! Hope you feel better soon!

[@marilynburke7609]

Nice trip. The St. Ives Bakery looked like such a lovely shop. I loved their window display. 😊❤️

[@KatieYWong]

Such a lovely vlog! Always so calming and such beautiful places that you guys visit. Thank you for sharing with us ❤

[@AngelaKConti]

Unsolicited skin advice buuuuuut eczema sufferer here- I realized I get it around my eyes when I use concealer that has a doe foot applicator! And searching online I have discovered Im not the only one. Must be something in the liquid concealers. Its a frustrating process of elimination but that helps massively! Also after any lotion I apply to eyes I put a layer of vaseline or if you can get aquaphor and it helps with the moisture retention. Im an aesthetician and eczema/dermatitis sufferer so Ive tried to use my training and own experience to battle it. Seems to help best wishes xx

[@rachelkleimann1294]

Such a peaceful and calming vlog 😌 looks like a lovely time away!

[@jecristonnom5484]

Thank you for uploading a new video. It brings so much comfort nowadays. Stay safe!

[@clairesmith6170]

Current eczema /blepharitus eyelid sufferer here - obviously everyone is different, so take this with a grain of salt- but I have found the La Roche Posay cicoplast baume B5 to be super soothing and helpful in clearing up my eyelid eczema x loved the vlog! ❤️

[@michellegordon456]

I took cicoplast on holiday, my brother in law has awful eczema, tried it and raved it really soothed his skin

[@Jessica-tm3kc]

Second this! The LRP Cicaplast Baume B5 did wonders for my eyes when I had something very similar a few years ago.

[@standardissue6508]

Really enjoyed this vlog, Brittany! Totally amped me up for an upcoming camping trip here in California. Great vibes :)

[@mollyduggan9517]

I had the exact same thought!

[@joannemorris1689]

Looks like you had a great few days. Love Lyme Regis. We have been visiting Dorset for around 20 years. Great when you have a camper van to explore places to get a taster for the area.

[@abicoelho9260]

Love a Brittany travel vlog! St. Ives is one of my favourite places in the UK. 💕

[@theeverydayhomebymai]

Lovely vlog, such a calming vibes and great scenery that you captured it beautifully, but I am mostly happy to see your eyes getting much better. Have a nice upcoming weekend

[@jillianmiller9191]

Yes…loved this vlog. I visited St Ives in 2019 for the very same purpose of visiting Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture garden. Cheers from Australia.

[@lyviaray8819]

Incredible scenery!! Thank you for sharing, Brittany! :))

[@safisafiasafia]

The coziest vlog!!❤️‍🩹

[@rachelbreck7766]

absolutely beautiful vlog ✨ would absolutely love a video about your van, how you store things and set it up for the eve etc!!! x

[@ritakocsany2994]

Love, love, love! Thank you! Oh and i really miss the campervan renovation mini series epsisode 2 🙏🏻🤓! Szia from Hungary!

[@Lyndseyde]

We’re lucky - we get to enjoy the lovely bits of your trip without the wind and cold weather! 🤣

[@camilaacevedo7784]

Oh wow! I love everything you upload but this vlog was so beautiful and wholesome. Big hugs from Uruguay ☺️

[@dawnpotts5941]

I really enjoyed that! I live in Vancouver but my husband proposed to me in St Ives, so brought back many lovely memories 🥰😘

[@andreacameron62]

Such a soothing, wholesome and an abundance of goodness in this vlog Brittany ✨

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you ❤️ glad you enjoyed!

[@thaysescussel4041]

This vlog was SO GOOD and pleasant to watch!

[@CJReads]

omg the nuface commitment while camping is inspiring

[@josephinesullivan6725]

Great vlog and some beautiful scenery 🌻🌸🎪🎀🪅

[@Muton230]

I love your camping vlogs! They always look so beautiful and make me want to go road trip in the UK! If you ever find yourself wanting to road trip in America you really need to check out the Oregon Coast, Brookings-Astoria. It has incredible sea stacks, natural bridges, cliffs, lighthouses and really great whale watching during migration season. The entire coast is state park so there is so much hiking and small beaches you can only get to if you park on the side of the road and hike down. Plus you can always extend your trip when you reach Astoria, where the Goonies was filmed, and go to the rainforest in Washington, or head inland to Portland and top in St. Helens on the way which is where the movie Halloweentown was filmed.

[@Paula-ig8xx]

Enjoyed this vlog very much! I’m glad you two had fun!!

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you! ❤️

[@raphaelle337]

What a beautiful trip! Lovely discovering St.Ives with you! (Oh and normally you should have a compass in your phone! 😊)

[@jennycatley1763]

Love your vlogs they are so relaxing to watch.

[@trudiroach]

Omg, fossil shop! I had such a chuckle 🤣👌😍

[@jhoannajimenea2953]

I love you Britanny! I love love watching you.

[@laurenrickwood4446]

I thoroughly enjoy the camper van content 🤗

[@winniewilkerson]

I always love your road trip vlogs and this one was so lovely! I'm doing on a week-long road trip soon and am struggling to decide what to bring to wear. You always look so put together and nice and that's what I'm aiming for. (Note to self: bring a travel steamer.) One of these days if you ever need a video idea, I think one about camping/road trip clothes and outfits would be very helpful!

[@sevirutgrink2840]

Hi Brittany, sorry to hear about the blefaritis en eczema. I have had eczema around my eyes in the past and it took a long time to heal.The only thing that really helped was to not use any skincare products or make-up for a prolongued period of time. I did use a cream of calendula and vaseline to protect the affected areas. Once healed I was very careful with introducing skincare products and I still am very cautious, I do not use anything harsh on the skin around my eyes and minimal make-up, basically just YSL Touche Eclat and mascara. I always make sure to use clean fingers or brushes when applying and a gentle oil based remover. With regard to chronic blefaritis: I have that too, it started 2 years ago and it apparently flares up for me in winter. I have started using a humidifier because dry air in the home definitely makes it worse. Keeping eyelids and the edges clean is a daily chore, ugh, but I really need to stay on top of it. Sometimes I use a little bit of tea tree oil on a q-tip but reaaaaally carefully, as the oil stings like crazy.

[@bkarnie]

I love your road trip vlogs! A tip for future hikes, the compass on your phone will work even without reception.

[@ashleyakari6757]

Brittany, I had to share after seeing you suffer blepharitis! I had a horrendous, chronic case for years -- told there was no cure. Then, one day, I heard of someone who cured theirs using Manuka Honey. So I slathered it on every night religiously for a couple of weeks in a last ditch effort (not just any Manuka honey, the most "active" I could get my hands on) and it was cured! I wear eye makeup daily now and have not had a flare up for yearrrrsss!

[@audreyarchambault8127]

Such a beautiful vlog!

[@heathcunningham]

i just went to durdle door!! absolutely stunning scenery. Would love to see more of the coast someday!

[@rossantico1146]

The music in the vlog was just so good in completing the visual well done 👍

[@joannemorris1689]

Looks great. Us Brits love talking about the weather dont we?

[@teaandcakee]

Hi Brittany, loving the videos as always! I have the same problem with my eyes. I would really recommend wearing no eye make up for a few weeks and using Vaseline throughout the day, it really heals the eczema better than anything I’ve found. When I have flare ups, using really cold water on flannels seems to reduce swelling and when I do wear makeup, I soak it off with warm water and a really soft flannel. It’s so annoying not being able to wear make up, but the eczema is flared up with contact, cleaning of the eyes. Hope this is of some use!

[@k.walker5428]

I so enjoyed this vlog!

[@josepha133]

I enjoy your vlogs so so much 😌

[@abbeydawes5786]

St Ives is a one of those places that has my heart ❤️

[@iseebeauty188]

Gorgeous vlog, thank you. Please share what steamer you're using, I'm so impressed with how much steam it generates! I'm looking to replace my very pretty but entirely useless Steamery handheld one. 🖤

[@jocannon8190]

Every time I watch one of your brilliant road trip vlogs, I want to buy a camper van and take off with my dog towards the horizon (one of these days!)

[@LucyR098]

Enjoyed every second of this ☺️

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ewaw9648]

very relaxing vlog❤

[@PrettyWell]

Love your channel and style. So sorry you’ve been dealing with your eye symptoms for so long. Might we suggest seeing a Naturopath in England? Eczema isn’t actually a skin issue but more of a gut/immune issue and needs to be addressed from the inside out. We treat it a lot with our patients. Wishing you much healing.

[@Caroline16541]

You two remind me a lot of my grandparents (in a very cute way haha) ❤️

Been years since i went to the New Forest, its lovely. St Ives is one part of Cornwall I've not visited but would love to go to Barbara Hepworths studio. Really enjoyed this vlog!

[@clarawild]

11:14 I've never seen this tattoo of yours 😊 what a cute surprise!

Lovely vlog. Such gorgeous scenery. (For the eczema, try eliminating dairy and gluten. 🙂)

[@eyeballgrl]

I have also struggled with eye eczema and blepharitis, and prescription tobradex ointment saved me!!!! even prescription of hydrocortisone cream helped too. I know how painful it can be

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thanks so much for the recommendation! Really appreciate it 🤍 feel like I’m trying anything and everything at the moment, but nothing seems to work long term.

[@silvana6107]

Dear Brittany, thank you for this yet another beautiful vlog. I truly enjoy your authenticity, calm and humour a lot! Quick question: Where did you purchase the fire thing from? I might like one of those too :-) Greetings from Berlin, Silvana

[@laurenmcinerney2478]

Ah this is just priming me for my trip to St Ives in May for my 30th, Thank you for that! Also a big Babs fan over here! If you are ever in the north the Hepworth Gallery and Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield is great for Hepworth and Moore work.

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

I hope you have the best time! It’s such a beautiful part of England 🤍 The Hepworth gallery is on my list!

[@laurenmcinerney2478]

@@BrittanyBathgate1 Thanks :) You'll love it and hope you get to go soon.

New forest is round the corner from us… been lost in there many a time🙈

[@lohio1587]

May I ask what steamer you use for your clothes and would you recommend it? I’ve been searching for a good one for ages but there are so many of them on the market, I can’t decide on which one to get. Thanks 😊

Thanks 💙

So perfect!

[@sophiehunter1443]

I suffered with the exact same eye concern as you and eventually began cleaning my eyes multiple times per day with Dermol cream and reuseable cotton pads (clean each time of course). It’s a lotion creams that is antimicrobial and it sorted my eyes out, and every now and again when I feel something triggers it, I return to the cream for a few days and I have thus far not had another big flare up since. Not sure if this helps, I know everyone is so very different x

If you venture to Dorset again, kimmeridge beach is smothered in fossils as it has large slabs of rock to sit on rather than a beach :)

Thoroughly miss your content

[@hannahlouise9289]

My family live in St Ives and I’m quite sure I was visiting at the same time you were there. ☺️

[@katemetten5468]

Love this video - I’m visiting the UK from Canada and take the train to St Ives tomorrow. Quick question - what is the tool you used on your face during your morning routine at the second rest stop? Thanks so much!

[@liesbethcorthouts74]

it’s the Nuface Trinity and I can really recommend it!

[@lillyoliver2056]

I randomly started struggling with eczema about a month ago. I never have had it before until now. I have thought maybe a side effect from COVID booster shot but not sure. Very odd. I hope you get it figured out- it’s annoying im sure especially on the eyes.

[@lisaanderson7433]

Fun!

[@oklamahalo1338]

My eczema is triggered by sugar mostly. So I quit eating basically everything that contains sugar and gluten, starch as well. It helped me a lot. Maybe that’s your case as well. Sugar is a great source for bad bacteria, so cutting it to minimum can help with skin issues.

[@diamondsfromcoal]

Chronic blepharitis sufferer here, I've found that no eye make up and using OcuSoft Plus Lid Foam Cleanser has helped me keep it at bay for the last year. Might be worth checking your shampoo as there can sometimes be a connection, if you try anti-dandruff shampoo (I've found Body Shop ginger shampoo to be the best), it might help clear your eyes up generally. Mine started randomly at 25 with no obvious triggers and have been told it's just one of these things that can happen.

[@jessisoffline]

There's a hiker and content creator - Kraig Adams. I put his videos on in the background or at night, when I just need to slow the moment down and just recenter myself. This video is completely in the same realm. Thank you for offering a space to breathe ☺️

[@felsenmeers]

want to second another comment about tobradex! i have eye eczema/blepharitis in the inner corners of my eyes and sometimes on my eyelids (side note: think it's exacerbated by dairy consumption but haven't proven that yet) and the ointment version has really helped me keep the redness and dryness at bay

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you so much for this! 🤍 greatly appreciated.

[@SA-sc3bt]

beautiful vlog :)

[@clQss]

I loooooove all your vlogs and these Camper Van vlogs are making me wanna travel to the same places with the same ambiance. you make it look just so wholesome! but I am also very eager to now what the pieces are that you are wearing. could you do a detailed "what I packed for this and that road trip" OR could you link the worn items in the info box? Nisi does such a wonderful job in linking every item mentioned or shown and I just love spending some time in her info box (her channels name is teetharejade)! for example: I'm even interested in the white T-Shirt in 08:53. love the neckline of it ^^ lol :))

[@izabellabosinakis7052]

just needed to write. my eyes looked soo similar to yours this fall. i have gone through allergic test etc but the doctors couldnt find what it was but i finally stoped with the brand "verso"s products and filorga, and after some cream i finally got it normal, since then everytime i start with a new it takes a couple of days before i can tell if i reacting or not too the new product. The verso products i had been using for almost two years and after one year i started to have a bit irritated eyes (friends thought it was pollen related in the beginning, itched and little redness) but after some months it got worse and worse and finally i got the reactions all over my face and it looked soo awful. i got an eye and face cream from the doctors that helped to calm in down "the allergic reaction" in a couple of days. dont use any serum/cream etc that contain a lot of ingredienses before you stoped with everything and are "normal" and then one step at the time to try to take in a product in your routine again. best wishes.

[@sanfilogoff]

Have you read Patrick Gales 'notes from an exhibition'? I think you'd enjoy it

[@francesca4569]

I never had blepharitis but I had eczema on my eyelids and sides of my eyes and something that helped soooo much is to use barrier moisturizers (like Cerave) at least twice a day, followed at night, by some Aquaphor on top of the moisturizer. It helped so much with my eczema! oh, and of course SPF during the day! I hope it can help anyone! x

[@aiai-j7i]

Thank you! I have started to get eczema patches....I will try this. Is it the Cerave moisturing lotion or cream you recommend?

[@francesca4569]

@@aiai-j7i the moisturiser, but it doesn’t have to be the Cerave cream, every moisturiser with ceramides and fatty acids and cholesterol it’s fine! :) I hope it will help!

[@kellyAI84]

My dad suffered with this and had lots of steroids which only worked temporarily. Turns out it was Sodium Laurel Sulfate. He quit regular shampoo and used coal tar soap and it completely went away x

I'm interested in the facial tool you used in the Leonards Cove portion, can you share details please?

[@Ajb259]

It looks like a NuFace

[@Lucy-vn8gk]

I hope it's okay to share a recommendation for your eyes! I have found tacrolimus ointment (brand name Protopic) to be excellent for eyelid eczema. It is more potent than other topicals but worth discussing with your dr if you have had little success with other products :)
