VLOG: New Year's REFRESH! (Ad)

[@philippawood5047]

I will always trust your recommendations, ad or not. Your opinion has never left me disappointed from skincare to lifestyle. I really value your integrity, Fleur! 😘

[@dasvogelchen5470]

Whats about Scandinavia? You could take river with you! Maybe combine a bit of nature and city😊

[@hannahella6563]

Loved this, lovely to see you so happy and you an Mike just chatting. Your 2019 plans sound good!

[@jencasey316]

Come to Boston!!! Seriously its amazing here. Also if Mike does run the marathon let us know ahead, we live right by the route and will make a sign for him and go out and cheer him on. Its a state holiday so all the schools, etc are closed that day every year so it is super easy for us to do!

[@eloisemorelle4871]

Jen D I went to Boston last year, I loved it so much. I wish I could come back!!

[@jencasey316]

@@eloisemorelle4871 I'm glad you enjoyed it. I moved here almost 4 years ago and cant imagine moving away again now. We are technically on the edge of the metro area in a suburb but the T is right here so it doesnt feel like we are far out at all.

[@EmmaVandenBossche]

Aruba without Riv or Belgium with her. I know belgium sounds boring and stupid, but honestly, Ghent and Bruges are some of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. xxx

[@SiriusScientist]

BOSTON!!!!!!!! Yes for the marathon too! I'd love to see more running/training vlogs. It's really best to come in the summer or fall though, winters here are grey and the snow sometimes prevents doing a lot of the fun outdoor activities Boston has to offer. You could also swing over to the Cape, or Martha's Vineyard, or even spend a day or two in Portland Maine, which isn't that far from the city. Cambridge is also just across the river! So excited!

[@barelymonster]

Fleur and mike chatting is just so funny

[@lisaquigley9543]

Thoroughly enjoyed your impromptu new year vlog.. Stuck on a train which left 30 late so this plugged that delay perfectly. Happy New Year Fleur, River and Mike x

[@polinafedorova9375]

Yes come to Russia! It may sound weird but Moscow is very cosmopolitan and European now and st. Petersburg is beautiful! All of my English friends were very impressed when they came over in July for our wedding. Plus with the current exchange rate it’s very very affordable 😁 and if you come in the summer the weather is great and there is so much to do and see! Xxx

[@ShlyakhovaEka]

totally agree! :)

[@cindihansen8111]

I love Hello Fresh! I was surprised that you said Mike doesn't like cooking at home. I was under the impression that he loved cooking!

[@Chinookdog]

I normally don’t like ads in vlogs, but I always get excited for your hello fresh vlogs because they look so delicious!! I can’t wait to subscribe to them when I move back to America! (I’m living in Uzbekistan, I somehow doubt they ship here 😝😢)

[@acw240]

One of my favourite holiday spots is the Dordogne region of France, beautiful surroundings and not too far away!

[@tianys100]

Come to Boston!! We are totally underrated in terms of places to travel, after the big cities like NYC, LA, etc. It would be a great destination for a chill vacation with lots of history, great shopping (Newbury Street) and family friendly activities. Also, the Boston Marathon is a really fun time of the year! Mike should come to Jamaica Pond Parkrun the Saturday before the marathon. The course is beautiful, it's a fun, easy shakeout run, the event is free, and it's one of the best parts of the whole Boston Marathon weekend!

[@VictoriaP9393]

So fascinated seeing what you're selling on Depop! You sold 2 skirts I also have (one copied from your lookbook), love the star jacket but I think I too would never get the wear. Lovely to see the vlogs back.

[@jennaelyse5933]

If sleep training is right for you and your family, I highly recommend it. We did it at 12 months and it was LIFE CHANGING!!! But no pressure if it’s not your thing. 💕

[@lindaw.5836]

You and Mike have such a supportive relationship! You found a good one there Fleur! I've been inside the Great Pyramid and yes!!! It is extremely tight going up on the final climb, AND you're bent over double, with a rucksack on your back!!! Yikes!!!

[@Maaatsi]

You should consider Norway! Very close to the UK, and such a beautiful country.

[@hannahella6563]

"It's been one of those days" has to be one of Fleur's most used sentences in vlogs :'D

[@annagneist9325]

Hawaii is absolutely amazing. I’ve been living here for over 3 months now and I cannot recommend it enough. However, I would suggest waiting a couple of years until River is a little older. Love your vlogs Fleur 😊

[@cassiefalat]

Definitely come to Boston! There is so much to do. If Mike does run the Marathon next year, spring is a gorgeous time of year to come.

[@ellac9039]

try the nile cruise you can see all the temples it is beautiful there.

[@13lindamarie]

How about Mallorca? I went there a few years ago and was blown away at how beautiful it is! It's totally underrated and gets a bad rep as a party destination. You can rent a car and easily drive around the whole island, stopping in places like Valldemossa (amazing wine cellars), Sóller (one of the coolest towns I have ever been to), and Cape Formentor. Palma has an amazing history with stunning old buildings to marvel at, plus great shopping, while the west and north parts of the island are quieter and super romantic. I would avoid the eastern part, but even that was not as "party, party" as I imagined.

[@KeishaAbbott]

Boston is lovely! One of my favourite places ever and dare I say I prefer it to New York. Make sure to follow the Freedom Trail through Boston for the historic sights and definitely check out the Italian bakeries, the Bell in Hand Tavern and the Quincy Market. Also, Newbury St for higher end shopping.

[@sharonmarie91]

The inbetween of Christmas and New Year felt so long this year!

[@ekaterinevoronina526]

You can come to Georgia (country, not the state). its just 3-4 hours difference and you can travel to different cities as well, getting both Asian and European experience at the same time. I think you both will enjoy it, food is amazing, landscapes are great and you can learn a lot about history as well. Generally, you can get any kind of experience you want here. And i believe it wont be too hard to do with River.

[@audrasieger7865]

Love Boston. Think you and Mike would enjoy it! Enjoyed your vlog! Thanks!!😊👍🏼

[@spinstercatlady]

I cracked up when I saw your lunch because I was also eating ham, cheese and crackers for a week after Christmas lol. Also completely relate to the minor house disaster as I've also been cleaning and organizing and it's a JOB!

[@brittanyrowlett]

Is it just me, or does it look like the UK version of Hello Fresh is more diverse, better organized, and has more options than the USA version? I don't have the "balanced" option available in the USA.

[@brionyc]

Happy New Year Fleur and Mike! Really enjoyed this vlog, it felt really intimate (not in a creepy way - that sounded creepy!) in a friendly, relaxing way! We’ve been using Hello Fresh for a few months on your recommendation and it’s a game changer, I’ve just upped us to 4 meals a week and it works out cheaper xx

[@alicebonser935]

I went to Boston not this summer but the summer before and absolutely loved it! I couldn't recommend it enough

[@katemoran3138]

If you’re looking for that sandy beach turquoise ocean type of vacation, what about Santorini Greece, Bali or Maldives? If you’re looking for culture and history, Montreal, Quebec, Canada? You could attach Toronto to that too if you want the modern city experience as well! :) (if you can’t tell, I’m from Canada!) Good luck and happy new year Mike, Fleur and River!

[@superduckie767]

Vancouver, Canada! You can hit up Whistler and Vancouver Island which are both BEAUTIFUL.

[@cassieprendergast3781]

so beautiful but so expensive there

[@superduckie767]

@@cassieprendergast3781 true, but mostly expensive to live there lol

[@Wtoreklolek]

Poland!! Close, safe and such a beauty!

[@meghanupsidedown]

Yes, come to Boston! Come in August or Sept/Oct and experience New England fall! Mike can run by the Charles & lots of fun shopping in Back Bay! Would also recommend short day trips to a couple of the following - Salem (witch trials), Maine, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard or Cape Cod (you can do the latter 3 by boat/drive). Provincetown is also fun too. Five days would be enough time to cruise around a bit of New England. So much history here and we’d love to have you :)

[@lindajasmin4914]

You talking about the pyramids already made me choke, not going either it seems😁 Love the hello fresh collab, nice to see recipe inspiration after the holidays🙏🏻 My new year is all about not taking too much pressure and believing in myself, especially as a professional. Keep up the healthy inspo, we could all use the support💪🏼

[@sandramclean]

Happy New Year Fleur, Mike and River....can't wait to see what the new year brings for all of us! 😘

[@nsinkers]

Croatia....absolutely stunning! Beautiful place 😍 I went last year and heading back this summer. More exploring to do 🙌🏼

[@rebeccahughes4785]

Come to Boston! I have spent my whole life living there and I have traveled a lot, yet it is still my favorite city. However, if Mike is going to run the marathon next year then you might want to wait and take River when she’s older because there are a lot of great activities to do with kids like go on a duck boat tour and go to the Boston aquarium.

[@ellieshinton8690]

I can definitely recommend Boston. I go there for work (from London) and my husband came out to visit me for four days whilst I was out there. Its such a beautiful city and very walkable as it's not huge. There's a lot to see and do and it has a lovely vibe. Its very alike to a European city.

[@carys7417]

Yes I walked inside the Duomo Cathedral in Florence and it was a TIGHT squeeze. But most of the pyramids in Egypt are closed to the public now due to instability x happy new year

[@mynamesholly]

My parents just went on holiday to Israel (Tel Aviv) and then went to Jordan to see Petra and they loved it - I had never thought about going there but now I really want to go too

[@keymclean6927]

What about Montreal Quebec Canada. It's beautiful there.

[@stephanieshanonn366]

Yes it is nice here :) lots of things to do and see !

[@goldie0169]

I vote for Malta, Iceland or Morocco .. or maybe Transylvania. Plenty of cool castles.

[@peonypop2579]

Montreal is beautiful... I went to university there. AND they have a great half-marathon in September...

[@peonypop2579]

And Russia is not a baby-friendly holiday spot... :)

[@betsybabf748]

I've been to Montreal twice and loved it.

[@daniellem3271]

Hong Kong! Temples, parks, beaches and shopping!

[@mjandres14]

Japan!! 5 days in Tokyo would be just fine. Love it there! Went with my husband twice, the first was 3 days which wasn’t enough and the second time was 5 days which was perfect. Been to Hawaii as well in Maui and Honolulu and it was breathe taking!!

[@clairehills4174]

Don’t dismiss Egypt Fleur. We saw the Pyramids and cruised down the Nile just before Christmas. You don’t actually have to go into the pyramids. You can go into a tomb if you want to, but we didn’t and didn’t feel we had missed out on anything - it’s the outside that’s the spectacular bit! There are lots of other fantastic sites and sights that don’t involve small spaces! The Nile cruise was fabulous.

[@MirnasMakeup]

Thank you for visiting Egypt ! you are always welcomed.

[@clairehills4174]

Mirna's Makeup Thank you - we were made very welcome by everyone and enjoyed it very much.

[@elainehoward8822]

Hubby and I were in Tokyo in November, it was unseasonably warm, and fabulous. We joined a cruise there and traveled across Japan, China, and finished in Hong Kong where we stayed for an extra 3 days. We did a similar cruise 2 years ago starting in Hong Kong traveled through Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore. I would be more than Happy to go back to any of those places for just 5 days, we had a fantastic time. I’m sure you and Mike would to. xxxx

[@halimaaziz2721]

Elaine Howard May I ask what company you used for the cruise across Japan/China? Thinking of going soon

[@beckyellis9179]

Just used your code for hello fresh thanks Fleur, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and think this is gonna be a life saver (as I already have 2 kids 😭) after having the baby 😍😍💗xx

[@PiaffePiaffe]

Happy New Year! I loved this. My vote is for Hawaii. I had such a lovely time there when I visited. It is such a beautiful place.

[@u2b590]

I saw Mary Poppins over the weekend, and I agree with you - I loved it SO much!

[@juliak2996]

I want to say Hawaii, but I would say wait until River can come with you. There are so many fun family activities here and I think it would be a great family experience. I adore Japan. Do Japan once this year and then go back for the marathon too. :)

[@TheAggie2309]

I lived in Boston for a few years and I can't recommend it enough! Such a beautiful city with lots of history and cool spots to check out; I'd happily provide you with a city guide. Also, every season is beautiful, you can't top a New England autumn! I would recommend going in May when the whole city blossoms or late October/early November when the leaves start turning. If you get a chance, I would also roadtrip through Cape Cod (Provincetown is great!) and/or check out Martha's Vineyard!

[@Betz0]

I also loved the new Mary Poppins! I thought it was amazing ❤️

[@ayahw2137]

I've heard Malta is nice never been but always sounded nice to go to!

[@mrsmortis4959]

Try Bermuda for your special trip. A beautiful island surrounded by beautiful seas.

[@martylovellmusic.]

Japan is incredibly safe for babies/young kids. :) Idk how far it is from the UK but from Australia it's about 9 hours.

[@rachaeldempsey7586]

You need Anna Newton round to help you sort 😆 I’d love to see you both in a vlog x

[@catherine-oi8hj]

I love when you show your hello fresh meals! So yummy

[@tinaa2048]

I went to Boston in high school and loved it. Ive wanted to go back as an adult. Just did New York first though, lol.

[@rachelweinstein9008]

I wish I had your organized brain! Well done, girl! Love from the States, Rachel ❤️💄🐈🐶😊🌸

[@niiidddhhhiii]

I LOVED Boston! There is so much to see and do and so much history haha I'm probably not helping, but I highly recommend! :) You could always go back to ca!

[@kimboavers]

If you go to Boston, spend some time in Cape Cod. It's absolutely gorgeous with amazing beaches, cycling and food!

[@spencivetaste]

boston is FREEZING right now

[@deannaLbeasley]

Have you ever visited New Orleans? If you are coming to the states its a must! I think everyone should once in there life time. The food is to die for. Great sites to see with all the local culture. Beautiful hotels and really great shopping. Most come during Mardi Gras season. But I say stay away during that time. Come sometime either between April - June. Or between October -December. The weather is milder and not so hot and humid. And not as many tourists.. I guarantee you would love it!!

[@sallyrimmer3115]

Lovely video Fleur. If you do go to Boston and you want lunch in a really amazing place with choices for everyone go to Quincy Market - it is an old Market hall with various food stalls where you choose what you want and then eat in a dining area with live music etc - we had the most amazing lobster mac n cheese there for $4!!!! And you have to visit the Cheers bar. Honestly it is an amazing city that is walkable once you have done the trolley bus a couple of times. Good luck with the run x

[@Emily-kj6bc]

Ahaha ‘depopping’ is the cutest verb I’ve ever heard 😂

[@BethanyCoxpersonal]

Boston! How exciting! We lived there and there’s so much fun to do there. Even better, take a day trip up to Portland Maine! It’s absolutely beautiful here and only 2 hours from Boston!

[@collegechicx]

Amsterdam is great! You can see the tulip fields in the spring. But tbh it isn’t stroller friendly because of all the bikes so no river for that one. Prague is my favorite city in Europe. Scandinavia is nice for 5 days because you can go to several countries.

[@TheSarahStitches]

I was going to say come to Boston, but if Mike is planning on running the marathon you might as well wait and make a big trip out of it. See Boston and then go to Cape Cod or Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. It will be too chilly to hang out on the beach, but you’ll miss all the crazy Cape crowds.

[@humairascorner2168]

Ice Land is beautiful So is Switzerland. I think you would love either of them and they are not so far x

[@hayleybryan9136]

You should go to Okinawa, Japan! It’s so beautiful, the people are nice, and the food is amazing. Also, you can get the best manicures!

[@Katharinaaaaa]

Wow the UK Hello Fresh offers so many options! In Germany, we only have about 5 options per week including one desert option. We used Hello Fresh for a few month but the portion size was just too small for my boyfriend 🙈 I always love your vlogs xx

[@laurasmith5312]

Can you do a baby gift guide for a one year old?

[@shruthiharish674]

Sunny Goa@India 😊.. Having Mike as part of the Vlogs makes it interesting irrespective of the duration of the appearance 😀He is a perfect example of dignity & charm personified !!

[@rhiawalls7435]

I'd suggest Barcelona! Not sure if you've ever been but both my boyfriend and I and my parents went separately and loved it!

[@Becca921]

Trip wise: New Orleans Louisiana! You'll have a great time, or neighbouring Alabama. Such a wonderful place😍 I went to Alabama for a week and spent 2 days in New Orleans during that so it's do-able. Also love the hello fresh boxes, looks such a good idea. Deffo will be giving them a go x

[@malinday75]

Hokkaido Japan! It’s ski season right now. Gorgeous

[@smileitsasunnah8872]

Please can you tell me where you got your kitchen paint I love the vintage green and currently redecorating just can't get hold of that colour....it looks great on your kitchen wall

[@ashleycook7529]

Caribbean cruise is my favorite way to vacation

[@Anniloves21]

There is so many great places in Europe that are kidfriendly and close by ;) maybe see a travel agent. You could go on a cruise too

[@LeslieY]

Oh my Freaking Gosh! I was literally just thinking imagine if I were to see Fleur in person.. & then I thought to myself thats Absurd shell never come to boston! OMg im from Boston! Please do a meet & Greet!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amymay3003]

I agree, I thought Mary Poppins was amazing. Currently trying to persuade my husband to come with me so I can watch it again 😊

[@MRm-ff8es]

We just have been to Riga Latvia! And IT was incredible.

[@MissDice0007]

Boston is an excellent choice, but may I also suggest New Orleans! Mardi Gras season just began and it’s a really special time (2 months) to be in New Orleans!

[@kate1356]

Boston is awesome (I am a bit biased since I do live in MA and it is my favorite city). So much to do and see in town and quite a bit is within walking distance (or very easily accessible by the T- subway).

[@kate1356]

Also, for someone who likes seafood.. there are great seafood restaurants all over the city.

[@NickaPaulo]

Bali. It's beautiful and a place that a lot of people are going. I haven't been but friends of mine loved it

[@Abbiemgreen]

you should take river to Disney world when she is almost three cause she will be free. I would suggest that you go in october or november it'll be colder and quieter.

[@megan0123456]

How about Cape Verde? Relaxing, different, lots to do, not too far, similar time zone 😊

[@rosecolouredglasses]

nerdyenglishgirl so cool!

[@tiffprendergast]

nerdyenglishgirl how was it

[@melledelvani]

Japan is at the top of my list! And I was just thinking today about Boston. Would love to visit a friend I've not seen in ages. Have you been to the Caribbean?

[@pinksmoke234]

Have you or Mike ever been to Iceland? It's beautiful

[@fridanz3825]

Vienna is a wonderful city. I definitely recommend it!! 😘

[@katycarlin1367]

Ohhhhh, please come to Japan🥰🥰🥰

[@RoseJacqueline426]

You can do it, Fleur! I have ran 2 10Ks and my next goal is a half-marathon. If I can do it, you can 👍

[@victoriamather2267]

Thanks for another great glimpse into your life! : )

[@DeidraBeee]

I'm also thinking of a 2019 trip to Boston. I'm big fan of history, but I'm not sure what else Boston has to offer.

[@cece5990]

First, I don‘t mind it, when you have an ad in the video because I know you really use it. Everytime you vlog you can see Mike cooking a recipe from that. Second, how about Scandinavia? I have never been but the cities look beautiful and unique and the nature as well!

[@cece5990]

And you could take River with you!

[@cece5990]

And Boston next year for the run

[@mariachurchill1369]

Would be amazing if you would consider doing a house tour, from what we see on video it looks beautiful! ❤️

[@TheMovietime11]

A Fleur Vlog is the best kind of vlog! ❤️

[@annek9855]

Germany is worth a trip 😊

[@bbbproductions7059]

Come to 🇨🇦Canada! The Rockies 🗻/ lake moraine 🌄in Alberta are beautiful! The colour of the water is unreal.

The uk hello fresh has so mich more meals to choose from. In switzerland there were only 5 per week to choose from..
