[@steph7514]

Thank you for reminding people to be safe out there. They're a lot of creeps around just waiting for someone who is not paying attention. 🙏

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yes I def need to start being more observant, I can’t believe how long I sat there totally oblivious! Thank you!❤️

[@caracampbell1715]

Oh my word! What a day you had!! Some people are just incredibly SICK!!!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Soo gross!😣🤮

[@nattyznook]

It’s nice to see people out there still paint their own nails! ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yes! I wish I could get my nails done but I just can’t justify how expensive it is nowadays!😖 I lovvveee the look of when girls get their nails done though!

[@nattyznook]

@@LaurenMidgley I am sooo right there with you! 💕

[@crystalkirkland781]

I love that you want to respond to everyone but that is a LOT! I leave comments because you took the time to make a video and share your life. I am supporting you. No response needed! ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

Lol!! Thank you so much!! Currently walking on the treadmill and trying to respond to every comment and 😅 it’s more than I was expecting! Lol! But man is that a great problem to have!!😀

[@gerriedstuart]

You did the right thing by calling the police. I would have totally freaked out. I have to say, I have been loving your channel for years. So glad to see you thrifting and DIY things. I especially love when you tell everyone that you don't need spend a ton of money on decor, just to keep up with what is on KZbin. Thanks for all that you do.

[@SuperMindi]

Oh my I'm so sorry the parking lot incident happened to you! I can tell just watching you tell the story your anxiety is on another level about it! You did the right thing calling the police just imagine if a child walked by that craziness! I really like the basket with the cookbooks in it but it really did clean up your desk/counter space alot. Thanks for the ideas! God Bless!

[@missyandco]

Love this type of shop w me where you show how to “style” the item(s) purchased. I tend to buy things I like in store but when I get home I don’t know what to do with it. A habit I’m actively working on breaking.

[@lisaaamoun3520]

I love your insecure transparencies around your nails. You’re so vulnerable sometimes and it makes us relate so well to you. You are so brutally honest. That’s why I like your videos not to mention your Decorating talents. You have no idea how good you are at managing this channel. I see your efforts in providing us with quality content and videos. I can tell you give 100% in all you do. I know everyone on here tells you how great you are but I really want you to know I appreciate you sharing yourself. I have followed you since long before you had your kids and will as long as you produce the channel. It’s not the effort or your strategies that bring me back, it’s you and your sweet goodness that is genuine.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Wow Lisa!! Thank you so much for the kind comment! I even showed it to my mom lol! I really really appreciate everything you said. This channel is my pride and joy, and it really makes me so happy. So to hear that you can see my efforts and that you enjoy it really makes me so happy. I appreciate you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! Have an amazing weekend!❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I like the trays you got. I'm so glad you're okay from the creep at Hobby Lobby.

[@hopedubberstein4753]

A very similar thing happened to me when I was a freshman in high school. I was taking the underground "L" to school. When I went up the stairs I was followed. At the top of the stairs I saw the man. Needless to say; just as you described. I went inside and immediately told my homeroom teacher. The police were called in and I was questioned in the principal's office, but nothing became of it. This was in 1963, but I never forgot it!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Oh my goodness I couldn’t even imagine being followed. How scary! 😖 I’m so glad nothing worse happened!

[@dianegeee]

Love the items you showed! I’m so sorry that happened at hobby lobby :( but such a great reminder to us all to be aware of our surroundings!

[@conniescreations1633]

You are the sweetest person, and I am sorry to hear you had to endure that from the nasty man. I'm so glad you are safe and that the person whose car you tapped was honest of damage. Enjoyed the haul and both ways used the cute basket. Makes me want a couple . TFS xoxo

[@Sara-vi3rn]

So happy for another one of your videos! Love all your decorating/cleaning videos

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

You always decorate beautifully, whether you pick up new things or just use what you’ve got! Sorry you had that disturbing experience in the parking lot. I encountered who I believe may have been traffickers in a parking lot and I felt so unsettled by the experience. I didn’t call the police right then but eventually did and they encouraged me to not hesitate to call them in the moment if I ever see something like that again. It’s easy to not want to be involved and try and just move on but you did the right thing by calling the police. ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you!! I questioned if I should of called or not bc at one point it felt a bit “dramatic” but I figured maybe it will flag his name if he does something like this again in the future!

[@karenmike4397]

Yes we all need to be more cautious of our surroundings! Glad you are ok! ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you so much! Yes I am trying my hardest to be more observant, and no more sitting in my car!❤️

[@lifeisatreasure]

I'm so sorry that you had to experience that and thank you for sharing as a reminder to ALL of us to always be aware of our surroundings at all times. Not living in fear, but very aware and not on the phone. We tend to get laxed about it and I'm very grateful that you shared this reminder. I tend to be too friendly and can see it backfire at times. You are such a sweet soul and I adore your videos! Thanking God that you are SAFE!!!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yes! I am always way too friendly, I even felt bad after calling the cops which is so silly 🙄 I’ve been trying to be way more observant of my surroundings, and no more just sitting in my car!🙅🏼‍♀️

[@mrs.z1172]

Love the haul and your sweater is beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChannanMUMX3]

I loved that bread basket in the bathroom looked much better than with your skincare products on the bench. I had that problem too so i put mine in a wooden sectioned spinner tray like a small lazy susan. ❤ your video. Stay safe xx

[@LaurenMidgley]

Ooh a lazy Susan tray is such a smart idea, especially if organizing products under the counter in the bathroom! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!💗

[@Christal-r4y]

Thankful your ok. We all need be aware!! Loved the video tho great finds!! God Bless You 🙏❤️

[@soonergal1422]

I'm new here ..... I'm so sorry that happened to you. Every young lady needs to be on high alert. Our daughter had an incident at her local bank with a man following her last week. Loved your video.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Uh Im sorry to hear that, I cant imagine if he had followed me! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment❤️

[@AcC7314]

So sorry you experienced this. It would have given me anxiety as well. A good reminder for all of us! I enjoyed your 2-store shop with me video 😉 great finds @ great prices!!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed, thank you for taking the time to watch!💗

[@stephaniealaia769]

The things you shared looked so nice! I do like how you decorated your name in the living room with there plant and candle. I’m so sorry you had to got through that Lauren! There are sick people in this world sadly! But so glad you’re okay!

[@blondd221]

Love the basket in the bathroom!!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you!! That is now it’s permanent home!🤗

[@gwenseawell2426]

So glad you are okay.Like the rug in the kitchen and how you styled the tray and baskets.

[@jaytimmons4041]

Glad you are safe.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you!💗

[@karenacox8932]

Just started watching. Been following you for a long time ❤️There are some who never even try to comment, so I quit commenting or don’t watch but it’s understandable if you can’t comment every single time. At least you try 😊Happy February.

[@LaurenMidgley]

I always remember you, Karen! thank you for always being so supportive and taking the time to comment😊 I hope you have a great weekend!❤️

[@susanperry8415]

I really like the purchases you made and how you styled the pieces.

[@dianaasencio5397]

Loving the kitchen rug! And thanks for responding it does mean a lot. Thank goodness the cops told him to leave! A lot of weirdo’s out there. Please be careful.

[@nancygutkowski1256]

I loved your video very much . Really pretty things you got & I like how you styled them in your home . Very scary story with that car next to you. I’m so glad you stayed safe & called the police .

[@bohobellevintage]

I can't believe you went through all of that! I would have had a full-on panic attack! You ended up with yet another great video! Love everything you found! Good reminder to always be aware of your surroundings, so thanks for that, too! ❤❤

[@maryannnewman7863]

So glad to see another video. I always enjoy them

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yay!! I hope you enjoy it, I think it’s a fun one!😃

[@katelynnk5462]

I love how you show the decor in different areas of the home and the possibilities! I love the tray in the bathroom and plan to mound one for myself next week! 😂

[@sandybitter4609]

Wow, what a great haul and what a story you told! I’m so glad nothing crazier happened with that guy that parked next to you, and that there was no damage done to the car in your second parking spot. What a day!

[@LaurenMidgley]

It was definitely too much for one day!😅 thankfully I went home and had a calm, peaceful day after that!❤️

[@green542]

Love the shop with me’s they are fun to see how you used them in your home, you are so funny at times paint your nails before shopping believe me I am sure most of us have nails like that, I know mine need to be done Ha Ha maybe tomorrow? You would be a great friend to hang with you make me laugh and I can see having a great time with you.

[@minide63]

Your decor ideas are all great. I love the oval tray on your bathroom counter.

[@jessicamoreno1892]

Wow I’m sorry you had to go through that..people are mentally sick ..and I understand about anxiety and panic attacks so hope you are well ..please let’s remind and be mindful of our surroundings we get caught up in life with so much we tend to forget to look around ..be well @ everyone blessings 🫶🏼

[@mariaaleman1487]

I'm so very sorry that happened to you. Thank you for sharing because you are right we need to be aware of our surroundings for sure. You are so brave!

[@mariecatanho2508]

awe I'm glad you're okay! 💓 it's still so upsetting that things like that happen to us girls 😕 but I enjoyed this video and it definitely inspires me to decorate my room! always love whenever you upload 🤍

[@tapanmartha9434]

Thank you Lauren

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you for watching!!

[@junesjourney1972]

Hey sweetie so glad you're ok and that creep didn't try to harm you. I tell my daughters all the time to be very aware of your surroundings, there are crazies everywhere! Love your haul and how you styled everything.

[@lisaclevenger2100]

Oh Lauren! I am so sorry that happened to you! On a happier note I love the rug you got for the kitchen and how you decorated the basket with the cookbooks. I was thinking a pretty little kitchen towel would look good draped inside the basket also.

[@wendyurias7647]

Great finds! Glad you were safe ♥️

[@shortypShortyp]

Hi Lauren! I am so sorry that happened to you and so glad that you are safe! There are a lot of creepers out there! Looking forward to your thrifting video!

[@Joy-zp5lv]

How funny you are - leaving the store to paint your nails. 😅 Its´s so much fun to get a respond. So thank you for your time! O no, glad you were safe! The world is crazy! Hugs from Germany 🤗

[@LaurenMidgley]

Hi! Lol I just knew that if I kept those crackly nails the whole video it would drive me and everyone else crazy 🤪 thank you so much for taking the time to comment!!❤️

[@dorisochoa116]

So sorry you had to go through that. Such a sweet lady to tell you to just go home and reset your day. Loved your styling ideas though 😊 the rug looks perfect in front of your sink 😊

[@lisabrudnicki2256]

Love the cookbook basket

[@KaileyP117]

A little cute kitchen towel coming out of the basket by the oven would make it have a little more interest maybe 🥰

[@LaurenMidgley]

Omg that is PERFECT! Thank you!!

[@OurSouthernHome]

Love wicker tray! Perfect for a console table! ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

I agree! I am a sucker for wicker or rattan!💗

[@tammyallen7471]

Oh my word!!!! I'm so glad you are OK and nothing worse happened. It's a shame there are sick people like that out there. ...... so love the way you styled those items. Yes that is technically a bread tray but I thought it looked good in your bathroom holding your daily necessities. By the way I love your coffee shirt! Where did you find that?? Blessings!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you so much Tammy!! It’s actually from Etsy! I found the link here :) www.etsy.com/listing/1066507113/fall-coffee-sweatshirt-unisex-fall?ref=yr_purchases

[@suzannegriffin5121]

God love you. What a day you had! Little story for you...Years ago, my best friend and I went to K-Mart. I pulled in and parked, and there was a car already parked on her side of the car. When she got out, she glanced over and then looked at me with big eyes and told me, "I think that guy is pleasuring himself!!" I said, "Naw...surely not.", lol! She said if he was still there when we came out, she was going to scream and make a scene. Sure enough, when we came out, his car was still parked beside us. The parking lot was full of people... As she went to get in the car, she glanced into his car, and lo and behold, he was tearing it up! I looked at her, she looked at me, and I started laughing and said, "Oh no! Vicki, please don't scream!" She took a deep breath and started screaming, "This man is exposing himself!!!!", and the she turned to him and screamed, "You're sick, you're sick!" I was laughing so hard I slid down the side of my car into the parking lot and peed myself. I've never seen anyone peel out of a parking lot as fast as he did! Now saying that, I had someone with me. You did exactly the right thing in your circumstance. Always choose safety. I'm glad you are ok.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Oh my goodness how funny!! I wish I had had a friend with me, that can turn any situation into a lighthearted one lol!!

[@suzannegriffin5121]

Hi Lauren - I watched an older vid of your bedroom makeover which turned out so pretty & I just wondered where you bought your comforter set? Been looking for something like it. Thx!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Hi! So that comforter set was actually from HomeGoods! and while I loved the look, it kept bunching up so we have changed it since! 😣 But homegoods is a great place to look!
