Felt like a total old school FDF vlog. Loved this! Please share how you did your hair on the trip ❤ it looked fab every day! X

[@FleurDeForce]

Thank you so much! When it was messy waves, that’s my natural hair (I have a recent reel on IG showing how I style that) and then it’s looking a bit more polished on day 1/2 that’s been waved using the Ghd classic wave wand xx

I hardly ever comment but I had to say, something about your more recent content on here post two-kids feels so lovely and authentic, it's like you're more yourself (in the best possible way!) and it feels like old school FDF 2014 content haha. Lucky us! Already looking forward to the next one 🙂

The whole Blake lively saga isn’t just from years ago. She’s been rude in many other situations recently. She also hasn’t utilised her position of power in her latest film, where she could have really helped people in abusive relationships. X

Finished means: when they are getting cattle ready for slaughter, they usually feed them a lot of corn which fattens them up. Grass finished means they skip that step.

[@FleurDeForce]

Oh that’s good to know, thank you!

I have that trouble with sleep, and it sucks ! 👍❤️👍

[@rebeccab2446]

the cyber truck does look weird from the back... and the side and front. It also shows fingerprints. They do give me a good laugh when I see one. Also we DO call them roundabouts in the US. I live in Chicago, which is lovely this time of year - but always forget how beautiful southern California is.

[@FleurDeForce]

It does right? Looks like it’s from a movie set in the future, shot in the 1980’s! Would love to know what they are like to drive!

Come on Fleur..... You travel 9 thousand miles to Newport beach, but you dont stop by my house in nearby Tustin. We call Tustin the inland Newport beach, same high prices but much less quality. LOL.

[@FleurDeForce]

😂😂😂 will stop by for a cuppa next time! X

[@LisaNYC70]

Totally agree about the chocolate in the states. My eldest nephew came back from the UK with a ton of chocolate and other treats. we stuffed our faces. I still have a bag of Walkers Monster Munch (pickled onion). Anyone ever taste them?

[@FleurDeForce]

Omg pickled onion monster munch… an ELITE childhood snack 😂

[@daralee1129]

The Blake Lively drama is more than just the interview. There’s beef that went on between her and the director. The movie was a passion project for Justin Baldoni who was promoting the film for DV awareness while Blake was promoting it as a romcom and tried to emulate the same experience as like say the Barbie movie but utterly failed. Her answers to reporters and press junkets about DV came across as being very superficial, not acknowledging the experiences that many victims of DV have dealt with over the years. There was also drama that she completely took over control of the movie away from Justin.

Fleur - do you find that peptide lip balms actually plump the lips as claimed? Seen a lot of hype around The Inkey List ones for this reason :)

We just got a UK version of this car. It's so peaceful and comfortable! We absolutely love it - especially knowing that we aren't filling our little city neighbourhood with more particulates and noise.

[@FleurDeForce]

Do you mean one of the smaller models? I didn’t think the first EX90’s were arriving in the UK till the end of the year! You can order them but they haven’t officially landed yet! I borrowed an EX30 recently and loved it too! :)

[@ajthefujoshi]

Genuine question, is it more smoother than petrol powered car? Lovely vlog as usual. ❤

[@FleurDeForce]

Hey, yes definitely smoother driving electric as you don’t get any gear changes - especially noticeable when you’re accelerating!

[@ajthefujoshi]

@@FleurDeForce Oh that's sweet. Now I'm curious to drive one. 🤭 Thank you for the response. 💕

It’s actually a shirt! From mango x

Looks like a great trip even though a bummer you had Octupus as very intelligent creatures .

[@geegeetube]

Totally agree with you about the American chocolate cannot compare. There is something almost grainy about Hershey's. I just can't describe it. The whole Blake lively thing totally think it's a bunch of BS every time someone is in the media for anything positive or has been on a high in attention from the media someone has to come along and just knock them down a couple of pegs. And this whole cancel society again is also a whole bunch of BS. Every single person, no matter who you are. If you go back 10 years you'll find something you did that you probably would have handled differently. I like how this generation feels like they can judge. Let's hold up the mirror a little bit more frequently and see what most people would do or say in a situation like this. I also did not find her interview reaction to be rude or inappropriate, I think it was very much I think that the question could have been asked more appropriately, but then again why even bring up her pregnancy? Such a sensitive time to a couple or family. We don't know how far along she was, we don't know what difficulty she was having with it but you don't know this person. It's not a friend, a coworker or someone you're familiar with that you're there to do your job and actually interview the individual. Imagine walking into a meeting and the first thing someone says to you is "how's the bump?"... I think it's very easy to forget, with people in Showbiz that this is their job. It's not their life. I would be very offended if someone came into have a meeting with me and started commenting personally on my appearance. But again we don't think of it as invasive, but picture in any other workplace if this happened, would it be considered appropriate? And again, it's not a coworker. It's someone for the first time sitting across from you in a chair.

[@ravens_tale]

She didn’t say “How’s the bump?”, she said “Congratulations on your little bump”. Simply congratulating her on her pregnancy. Blake turned it into a negative thing and acted like a mean girl the whole interview, barely acknowledging the interviewer. It was very unnecessary and rude.

[@geegeetube]

@@ravens_tale I can see what u share. But I don't think we have the right to judge 10 yes later, and isn't this b/w her and the reporter...what 10 yrs later she is offended....plz. Hyper-sensitive, attention getting BS.

[@JorgelinaVega]

Sorry but Blake Lively has been shown over and over again in interviews being rude. I think the only reason this particular interview has popped up now is because her drama with her latest film made it easier for people who experienced rudeness from her to post. I’ve only know her from the travelling pants film and being the wife of Ryan Reynolds so I had no idea she was the mean girl type 😮 Makes me wonder if Ryan Reynolds is a fake when he seems to be funny and stuff, birds of a feather, and all that 🤷‍♀️ I really liked Reynolds.
