DECORATE WITH ME | CHRISTMAS DECOR INSTALL 2024 l LUXURY UNBOXING IN PUBLIC | Lydia Elise Millen

[@karenhill3558]

A segment with Carrie makes me happy. Everyone should have a Carrie in their lives.

[@loafollower9590]

She’s such a character I think she’s fab

[@beverleydryland1146]

Absolutely go Carrie

[@SolmimSolmimam-vd9et]

Ohhh yaaaa❤

[@troubalore]

What's most striking about this vlog is when you and Carrie are at dinner--two women both gloriously confident in their personal styles and personalities. Just beautiful, both of you!

[@carollino1288]

As I get older I try so hard to make Christmas special it takes me back to my childhood and all the magic and joy my mom would create for me. I can't wait to have kids of my own one day to make them feel that magic and Christmas spirit. It's never too early to decorate and be in the festive spirit!

[@kateforsyth1133]

Hi Lydia! Girl, half of the US started early November because we needed the light and cheer! On it.

[@lydiamillen]

Wonderful! Thats the spirit x

[@SassySP]

I live in Georgia and people were playing Christmas music before Halloween 😩

[@catgrl6698]

November in the US was a fantastic time in American history 🇺🇸🙌🏻

[@Nicky-Mc]

Lovely to see you and Carrie together again - you are always your best self with her - it’s so clear what a special connection and friendship you have and I love to see the funny relaxed side of you! Also it’s so good to see you so happy and content these days - I have followed you for a long time, you have worked so hard on your journey of self discovery and it’s a pleasure to see how you have found and created a life that makes you happy. You are so self assured these days and that’s brilliant! ❤

[@ashleybrown1959]

You are so right about the Christmas spirit being curated by the parents. I have two small children and they lost their grandfather on Christmas Eve a few years ago and I try my best to make happy memories while still honoring losing him (my husband’s dad) I didn’t realize until my kids were toddlers how much my parents did for me as a child, to make happy Christmas memories.

[@camillecovington8257]

Could not agree more. Christmas has always been about traditions for me. Old ones and creating new traditions! Congrats on the magazine spread. Your home exudes cozy and comfort. Looking foward to seeing vlogmas this year.

[@lydiamillen]

Yes and creating new traditions is so wonderful 🤎

[@emmatrendell6641]

This video has brought me more joy than you will ever know. My niece who was turning 2 on Tuesday died yesterday due to influenza and a swelling on the brain. It has been the saddest most horrendous few days. We had so many plans with her and our Christmas will not be the same this year or any year in the future. Thank you Lydia - this video was my pocketful of joy today x

[@rexysmum]

So incredibly sorry for your loss 😢🌸

Praying for your family and holding her parents so warmly in my heart.

Your trees are exquisite. It’s definitely your style. Carrie is adorable. I love that she’s her own person and wears color. Love her style too!!

[@veritystothard1664]

This year is my first Christmas being mum to my beautiful daughter, she’s the first grandbaby in my family on both sides so it is just going to be so magical to see Christmas through her eyes 🥹💖

[@beverleyabrown488]

I’m so happy to hear you felt a release after your treatment, Lydia ❤ I saw at one point you almost got quite emotional talking about it and I nearly cried for you. There is nothing better than finding something that physically really works at limiting your symptoms. 🎉

[@MindyMaeCrochets]

As someone who is chronically ill and on many different medications, I must say that you trying your best to handle things with non-traditional methods gives me hope that I may be able to achieve the same results, albeit, whatever that may look like for me. We are all different, after all. Please know that I appreciate your approach to remedying your issues in a way that works for you. Sharing your health journey is something I admire most about you. Thank you for your openness and willingness to share. Much love!

[@winnysneece694]

Ladies outings are so fun to watch. 😊❤ Thank you for sharing another wonderful video.

[@magdalenacwizyk1605]

😍😍😍 I just know this year „vlogmas with the MG’s” are gonna be awesome!🤎

[@nicolarae1306]

As soon as we got snow, my first thought was....I hope lydia got snow for her vlogmas intro. 😅❤

[@karencurtis6141]

Christmas is so magical and important for many reasons. My Mom was amazing, after My Dad passed away when I was 5 , she made the most wonderful safe home for my older and younger brothers as well. Christmas was full of traditional family fun, that’s stayed with me and always will. I hold my faith and believe we will be all together at some point, until then I make the Christmas magical with every minute a special one . Take care xx xxx

[@FayeCNL]

I would literally watch paint dry (in fact we have) as long as Lydia was there to tell us about it. Love this girl 💖

[@missybelmont9830]

That is sooo sweet❤❤❤

[@staceysilvia3029]

I do miss the Vlogmas episodes with Carrie. Hope those make an appearance this year. Loved seeing the decorations going up with both of you having fun. The kitchen tree is always my favorite. All are lovely.

[@inesdizdaric]

Mondays and Thursdays are my favorite. Lydia, you have such a positive energy & I just love to watch all of your vlogs. Absolute favorite blogger out there! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 sending love from Austria

Ooh. H&M employee here. Those trousers exist again this winter. I just bought some. Fabulous.

[@Dacquarie]

You are an angel! Immediately bought some!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@AnD-bu4xs]

would you mind share the number of the article for this trousers? ❤

[@tessadecon5535]

I really resonated with what you were saying about making the magic of Christmas for yourself and for the others around you. I feel that making the Christmas/Hanukkah season magical for my friends and family is what makes me feel so festive and joyful. And it’s not just for parents and kids! As our parents get older, we can turn the magic they gave us as children into magic we can make together, for each other. At university, I put a lot of effort into making the holidays magical for my roommates and I. I think it helped us really get through the exam period and brought us closer together. ❤🎉

[@angelacolgan8323]

This is just gorgeous, I can’t wait to decorate my home after watching this. You look beautiful Lydia very like Kate Middleton, the English country side life really suits you and both you and Ali have created a beautiful life for yourselves. Love from Ireland

[@jesslynnwrites]

I look forward to the Christmas install vlog every year 😊 So beautiful!

Hi Lydia, I just want to say, I've just discovered you on here and love your vlogs. I love the fact they are an hour long. Trouble is, they take me all evening to watch. 15 minutes in, I'm pausing, (in my head, just for a quick peek) now in stuck down the amazon rabbit hole 😂. Thank-you ❤

[@nikkimoremon2945]

This vlog has made me feel so Christmassy 🎄

[@karonfrench1012]

Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog Lydia. Loved the segment with Carrie. Such a lovely, funny girl! You can clearly see a special bond between you. Your house looks a million dollars. You give me a boost Lydia. 🥰

[@elisabethcacciattolo6151]

What a lovely vlog, I totally agree with you, how we deal with our aches and pain every one is different and we should respect it. ❤

[@mnrieux]

Oh my goodness, I was JUST speaking to my siblings about how Christmas is only as good as we make it. This is so incredibly important. Ive been in university for the past 5 years and have totally missed out on the Christmas holiday because I was so focused on school, I really did not have time for Christmas things. But now that I am graduated, I am trying to create the Christmas of my childhood. :’) it’s been hard sometimes, but I feel comforted knowing you spoke about this and feel the same way. ♡ thank you for sharing our thoughts so openly and honestly. ♡ love your video so much xxx

[@kimbellabella348]

Yeyyyy! I have 4 Christmas Trees in my house and all different themes and I do it all on my own and I love it 😆 I love your work and your ideas I can’t wait I’m excited for you Lydia

[@tanyac6992]

I needed to hear that message Lydia, thank you. I wasn’t very excited about Christmas as my 4y old has severe learning difficulties and doesn’t understand but you’re right. And even if he doesn’t love a visit to Father Christmas, he’ll love a visit to a Christmas light trail and the tree even if I have to stop him from pulling it over 😂 thank you xx

I still love that Ali made the tree surround for the kitchen tree. It looks great! Everything is gorgeous as usual. I could not wait to see how you decorated this year.

[@roxysimmons]

Lydia, this is said with kindness, you can obviously don't have to listen to any of us with opinions on your headaches, but a while back you spoke to us about the struggles you were having with health stuff, particulary related to your hormones. Well, a big disrupter of hormones is... alcohol and the additives in alcohol. Also, additives in make up, and food, etc. Hormones play a massive part in headaches - I've been going through menopause and I started having migraines with auras, to the point where I go blind for a short time. Most of us are alerting you to the experiences we have been through and share it with you so that you don't have to go through it. Again, up to you whether you want to receive it as people being negative, or positive.

[@Hviv983]

It’s so hard isn’t it. I also have stopped alcohol 18 months ago and it has literally been life changing. However if someone had told me 2 years ago i should think about stopping, I would not of wanted to have heard it and said exactly the same as Lydia. Anyone on the fence read “how to kick the drink easily” by Jason Value. It’s a shame we have to say “this is said with kindness” as alcohol is so imbedded in English culture you are almost seen as a loony trying to suggest people stop drinking!

[@rpau5150]

Also syntetic parfumes. I’m not using these anymore on myself, but they are everywhere we go..!

[@jagnyc2241]

What wine did you end up drinking? Love your friendship with Carrie. Also love her sweater. Where did she get it? So cute.

[@Reillygirl]

Great chatty blog and nice to have Gemma decorate the trees for you - she does a great job!!

[@hho33]

Hello Lydia! So appreciative for your Amazon recommendations, you have no idea how helpful and resourceful these are to me as a field worker in London. This involves long hours spent outdoors in the cold evaluating and assessing logistics in the city. So I need not tell you how happy I was when I came across the heated insoles, which of course lead to the plethora of other variations. Will need to wait for my next pay check ~ but at least that will give me something to look forward to knowing that all my parts will be spared! 😂 From a very appreciative subscriber ❤

[@sleemyles7506]

I’d love you to try your kitchen tree in the opposite corner. You would see it from the front door but also the living room and better still the bedroom. Plus would make the door to outside easier to access. Your home is lovely ❤ xx

[@fionaholdsworth3018]

So agree with you Lydia regarding the way you prefer to heal yourself without chemical medicines, I'm just the same, as you say you can't always avoid it but it's my first port of call if I have a problem. xx

I loved your Christmas tree under the stairs too just gorgeous colors and ornaments. They are all beautifully festive as is your home just perfect with the backdrop of the lovely styled interiors. I’ve got house envy. That gallery bar and the hosts were divine too. Great sports. Would love to visit there next time I’m in the UK. Such a fabulous vlog full of wholesome Christmas spirit thankyou.🎄❤️

[@Kcas1507]

All of the trees look beautiful, including the one under the stairs. You are right, the fact that the cushion matches the ribbon on the tree is so pretty. From the angle you have taken the video, the cushion on the chair should be in the other corner. Because it leads your eye into the vignette of the tree and the chair. The cushion almost acts like an arrow leading your eye into the center, and then all around the vignette. Does that make sense? It’s one of my crazy interior design “rules”. it’s like if you had two portraits of people from the side view. The portraits would hang on the wall so that each was looking at each other. So you are looking at the portraits in the center and possibly what is below. if each portrait was facing out, you would naturally look where their eyes are looking, which would be out of the vignette. If you can even follow this at all, I applaud you! It probably is crazy, but I think this tiny detail in vignettes makes a huge difference. Happy holidays!

The Nerve from the (Nerves System) is giving us pain in the area where it is stuck. There are 2 sources of pain: or the nerve is stuck locally or it is stuck from the spinal column. Since early age I was taught never to stay in place where it is formed steam of air. Example a room where a window and a door is open - source of air come from different places and form this steam. It depends for each person individually to find the external issue that causes the pain in the body. It is easy to release the nerve (there are few simple methods) so it will stop giving pain, but the problem is, if you continue to do the same mistake the pain will come again.
