HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST REALISED THIS?! | Lily Pebbles

[@mandiplummer5541]

Sunday morning = coffee, croissant and Lily. You are by far one of my favourite creators, always remaining relevant (I am 59 living in Spain, done the kids/grandchildren bit) and although I watch a few content creators you are up there with my favourite. Never doubt yourself, you have this nailed

[@lilypebbles]

thank you so much, that's so so kind xx

[@rhondajansenvanvuuren392]

Feeling emotional when hearing someone like you describing where I stay in such a wonderful and glowing way. I stay in Gardens Cape Town and this confirms why I am in permanent gratitude mode about it. Thank you! Our choices with regards to skincare products and cosmetics and clothing brands are rather limited though.

[@kaitlingrainger8263]

Love the laid back feel of this. You just seem so real and honest. You always have the best mix of content.

[@lilypebbles]

thank you x

[@emmabreen18]

I always buy the naked cakes from from Waitrose or m&s (think they serve 20) and then I decorate with characters and toppers etc. using white choc as ‘glue’. Everyone always asks who does my cakes lol. Sometimes I get two if it’s a big party but I only decorate one. You could even get a different flavour for adults/kids. Holiday sounded amazing! My kids are exactly the same age as your two but I have two boys.

[@adhst]

You hair looks very nice! The length and colour really suits you 😊

[@lilypebbles]

thanks!

[@celinecloutier135]

Lilly, you are a breath of fresh air. Thankful for your content today.❤

[@alisonosmond8394]

I bloomin love your videos Lily and always look forward to them ❤

[@susanl8592]

I was just going to write the same thing! She really is one my faves! ❤

[@lilypebbles]

thank you so much xxx

[@inesvidaldossantos]

Hi Lily! Be aware what you eat before or after your supplements as it can influence how it is absorbed. For instance, drinking coffee will decrease the iron. You are my favorite digital creator! ❤

[@naomismith4933]

The Cape Town holiday sounds amazing.

[@louw8720]

Just watched your fill my cup and this video. Fab watching. I could listen to you for hours while I do the ironing and clean the bathrooms. Thank you. X

[@threewomenco.]

I share the same admiration for our dear lily 😊 ❤ so happy to see many wonderful women share their love and admiration in the comments Blessings to Lilly and all wonderful women

[@jessicat9198]

So interesting about the anxiety after kids.. I used to be super anxious but since having kids it's completely gone! I think giving birth and going through the newborn phase made me realise I was actually much stronger than I thought and so things that used to worry me before just aren't such a big deal anymore..

[@mroigm]

Lovely inspirational ideas for me as a woman and also... as a mum! I loved especially the album idea for Grey to show your family trip to their mates in the nursery❤

[@loriwagner2766]

Another great video Lily! Love your content…you’re one of my favs 😊

[@mercedesa.6448]

Love your answer about being a parent. Totally agree. The best and the worst hand in hand.

[@SherilynLeanne]

Loved this little chatty vlog and the fire Q&A. You're so right about being a parent and adding a 3rd child. ❤

[@hanifesenkul7650]

You summed up parenting soooooo accurately!! X

[@abcdefgold]

I really like Blurb for photobooks, I make an annual one each year and I used Blurb for our wedding album - the quality is really good, pricing too and if you're using photos with slightly lower quality then you can have a smaller album so they still look really nice at a smaller size :)

[@maggieturner88]

Your makeup looks so good! Can you please share you current makeup routine?

[@dianeA1320]

I’m 56 and you are my top 3 influencer. Love your content ❤

[@hattiebrazeley3351]

Mum of a 9 yo here! She has literally never eaten a slice of birthday cake bought home in a party bag. Top tip - individual colin the caterpillars. Have a big one for candles and little ones pre-packed, ready to go home. No smooshed cake, no faffing trying to cut a cake while everyone watches, waiting to go home! It’s win/win/win!

[@rhondajansenvanvuuren392]

Your hair looks gorgeous at the moment! And I agree, skim milk with tea and almond milk with coffee😊

[@sallylloyd6998]

Just a quick hint, I see so many people putting the tablet in their mouth first then chugging water and complaining they taste bad, it’s because they start dissolving on your tongue, fill your mouth with water FIRST then pop the tablet in! Much better as you get no taste!!

[@ameliahandy1407]

Exactly my thoughts

[@beccatamsin3640]

Those last few mins was the best content ever! Literally feel like we could be friends 😂 think that’s the realest content I’ve seen for ages! ❤

[@emma5698]

So glad you had a great holiday! Re. Photo books - I make all our family photo books via Google photos. The quality is better then others I've used in the past (Snapfish etc) and sooooo much easier if your photos are stored in Google photos anyway x

[@staceyabraham617]

Literally like always catching up with a mom friend💕 love that you had a great time on your trip!

[@kerstinr8940]

Hi Lily! Thank you for all your great content! I still enjoy it a lot after all these years. Regarding all the supplements: please ask your doctor about them. Even vitamin d can have some unwanted side effects and normally the human body does not need supplements. They are not candy. But thank you again for your videos!

[@Nailtheday]

I love a Sunday morning catch up! Watch you whilst having coffee and breakfast in bed before I hit the gym. So glad you had a wonderful holiday! Did you use all the toys on the plane? 🤣

[@hayleyking5631]

I did exactly the same thing. Brought a cake from Ocado and then decorated it with the theme. Much cheaper and just as good x

[@sophiebreslin6675]

It’s easier to swollen pills with you neck forward because your trachea is slightly compressed and out of the way! 😊

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Lily, I’m glad you had such an amazing time in South Africa 🥰 xxx

[@ivana99056]

I don't know if it's wierd, but I would really like to see your tea mug collection! 😅😄

[@katrinharling5647]

Loved that video. So calming and just nice to watch! Perfect for a rainy sunday :D You look super healthy and happy by the way! Glad you had a great time in SA! Looking forward to next sunday

[@wanderlustmama3164]

Ah so glad you enjoyed your holiday! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@Zoe-ul2ed]

I would so so recommend Rosemood for photo books! They do really lovely hardcover books of all sorts of sizes with great quality photos and really nice paper

[@jessicat9198]

Yes was going to comment the same thing! They're really nice

[@ashley_books_cats_judo]

Love watching your videos every Sunday morning while I have my coffee. I’ve been working in R&D for supplements for 13 years and it’s usually the B-vitamins that make multis have the same odd smell and taste 🥲

[@ge926]

Respect for being able to protect your skin on holiday! I have similar problems so I know it takes an extra effort, very well done!

[@Iam_CeceBrown]

So happy you and your family had such a lovely time here in SA🥰and your nails are so pretty; love!. PS I can't get myself to even watch the last season of Greys, it's funny to think it use to be my number 1 for years and years.

[@jordandavison6706]

Cake hack!! You can get a bundt cake, put a bagel on top, and stand a Barbie in the hole and the whole thing becomes a princess in a ball gown once you frost it! Could totally work for Elsa!

[@NareHovakimyan]

This is so so lovely. So glad you had such an amazing time!

[@intothedermis]

Three is easier than two. The youngest just have to adapt 😂 I had a third and my family felt truly complete. I was done and so was my husband. Your reasons for not having a third are my reasons for not having a fourth! Three is magic ❤

[@lilypebbles]

so interesting! I feel like my parents generation used to wait a bigger gap between 2nd and 3rd child, but we are all having kids much later now...

[@MsKHBJ]

@@lilypebbles My mum accidentally got pregnant with my sister at 41 making us three, and she says its the best thing that ever happened. (Which I try not to take personally) don't let the idea of being 40 put you off at all!

[@rosieposy8]

This brings back so many lovely memories. We went to S Africa and visited (but didnt stay) at the vineyard last year. Was incredible. We didnt do a lot were wrecked but such a stunning place. Felt weird though as such big discrepancy in living conditions for the population. We had one toddler not sure how would have coped with two!

[@aqqibabs]

Hi Lily, Ganni is actually pronounced "any" with a g infront of it 😊

[@lilypebbles]

ooh really! wow

[@Vicky-xi8mf]

Just to say… I was also brought up on tea with skimmed milk - wouldn’t drink it any other way 😊 I think it’s semi-skimmed milk in tea that’s weird 😅 Glad to hear you had a wonderful family holiday!

[@caralum]

Genuinely love starting my Sunday with you Lily - thank you! (P.s. I’m 40, single, no kids 🙂)

[@AW-jg1vy]

Loved loved this vlog. As always very well rounded interesting and informative. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@karlyhodge3435]

Glad you had an amazing holiday ❤ your explanation of being a parent is spot on 😂 x

[@junehulton9776]

So happy for you all. A lovely holiday....sounds really interesting and an holiday to go on my bucket list....never thought of going there....👍... thank you for sharing....and I love these vlogs full of content...😊

[@janenesteenkamp623]

Oh yay! Watching this from Cape Town. Thanks for visiting... x

[@Frick_79]

Catching up on your videos and as usual always love and enjoy your content. The holiday sounds amazing, would love to visit someday. I like the airpod chain idea, I’ve almost lost one so many times when out gardening, I feel like this would help! Also I only drink uht skimmed milk🥛 too 🤷🏻‍♀️ Look forward to the full reveal of Greys room, her sitting area looks so cute! Have a good rest of the week ❤

[@gym1418]

You can do an Elsa barbie cake, you just stick the barbie doll inside the cake and decorate the rest of the cake as if it was Elsa’s dress. Good luck

[@TheECRBL]

The way YOU say Ganni (the 1. way) are the correct way, that's the way we say it in DK, and the brand is danish 💪🏼

[@auntyste]

My long term long distance partner is a south african man ❤ can't wait to go back hope you had wonderful time there ❤

[@shannon4180]

Thank you for another lovely, relatable, genuine video. ❤

[@rinathakrige8793]

Aaaaaaaah, how I now miss my home country!!!!!!! I am going for a visit to my parents, family and friends on May 1!! Rinatha - South African living in Canada

[@laurenpatterson6483]

I have used Once Upon for my photo books and they are pretty good quality. It'll tell you when choosing your photos, whether they are of good enough quality also which is handy 😊 xx

[@lilypebbles]

I was a little disappointed with the quality! I was asked to do a job with them, but I just felt like it wasn't super crisp x

[@msmintygreen]

Omg I just tried the pill swallowing tip and it totally works! Unbelievable! Thanks for sharing xx

[@prettybitsandbobs5180]

Hi Lily! Thank you so much for answering my pub-question! I feel like it’s so hard to find a great fish and chips place in London that isn’t super touristy! Sending lots of love! ❤

[@hattie2525]

Well brewed tea with lots of milk is the best, lots of tea flavour but the milk makes it nice and creamy. Delicious!

[@bondstreet2300]

Thanks for keeping up with the vids, love them

[@princesslauren24]

Hi Lily! I know it’s been mentioned in older videos, but where is your London map print from that sits above your dinning table? Thanks!

[@ktpdx]

Kettle chips (the brand) got its start near me in Oregon here in the states.

[@16demolka]

I have (and wear) beats flex headphones for about 3 years now! I even sleep with them on :)

[@AmeliaRane]

What do you yours in your hair? It looks so glossy! I have very similar hair to yours but it always looks slightly frizzy with fly aways even after styling xx

Forever 35 podcast! I have been binge listening to it and it’s great! Have a listen hehe ◡̈

Love your videos Lili ❤

[@michelleburgess638]

I also only learnt this week that the tablets with plasticy coating that float are most easily swallowed with your head down not back!! Why did nobody tell me this 15/20 years ago!!

[@1bluegreen2]

Pro tip lol: pills, lean back (they flip to the back); for capsules, lean forward (they float up towards the back) ❤. Happy swallowing!

[@csherma22]

What happened to her friendship with An na?

[@surlespasdondine]

Why do you think they are not friends anymore?

[@csherma22]

@@surlespasdondine There have been a bunch of rumors online so not sure if it's true or not? But apparently they were at the same event and didn't even mention each other or take pics together etc...

[@anfoulaben7772]

Hii.. pls what mascara did you use?

[@annibkr2716]

Once Upon photo Books are great. ☺️

[@LiterarilySmitten]

I’ve used Artifact Uprising to print albums of my photos from holidays, and I love them! I’ve used photos from my DSLR as well as my iPhone. If it’s available in the UK, I’d highly recommend it! 😊

[@lilypebbles]

it's amazing! I think I used them for my wedding photos. But from what I remember it was expensive shipping as it's not a UK company

[@LiterarilySmitten]

@@lilypebbles Drats! That was what I was worried about.

[@italkculture7275]

What foundation and shade did you wear Lily?

[@ljaynek2]

This is super random, but if the pill is like a capsule, they will float so tip your head forward to push them toward the back of your mouth, but if they are heavier and more 'tablet like' then tip your head back!

[@clairewinterbourne6191]

The confusion with parenthood… 100% get what you’re saying!!

[@katecronk9649]

Have you read The Best, Most Awful Job? It’s essays on motherhood and it’s great!

[@andreainlostcreek5256]

I always enjoy your videos and have watched for years. I looked this up just for fun ~"Cameron Healy Founded Kettle Foods In Salem, Oregan, USA. Once home he immediately began experimenting with traditional chip production methods. It took a while to perfect the process but soon KETTLE® Chips was born."

No! Grey’s got renewed for season 20!

[@kristalaanemets4447]

Please make the endings longer (5 second outro) - the end always catches me by surprise when I'm watching the video in the background in a playlist and I can't hit "Like", although I want to!

[@anglomallorquina5898]

Scrapbooks from childhood holiday are fantastic. My mum always made us keep a diary when we were in holiday (when we were a bit older) and now they’re some of my favourite things. Also I still keep a travel diary.

[@Fair04Weather]

Hi Lily, I made a Frozen cake a few years ago and I made blue toffee that I smashed into shards of "ice" and stuck them in the cake. They were effective and delicious. Just an idea. Great video. South Africa sounds amazing.

Or course. And I’ve been before without kids and was able to travel around more. I also think it’s important for people from SA to have people talk about the country in a positive light too
