[@tracytyrrell6565]

carys im sorry now BUT ur one of if not the most naturally buatuiful influencer there is.... no fillers... false lashes... extensions... just natural beauty... this platform needs more girls like you 😍😍😍

[@ambreaull7218]

I really appreciate you sharing how you’ve been feeling lately, James. Thank you for being open and honest. I just want you to know that you aren’t alone and I found your chat very encouraging. It reminds me, I’m not alone. Thank you!!!

[@vickyywayne]

You are right James its SAD- seasonal affective disorder. It was refreshing to hear you having a chat with us aswell as Carys ☺️

[@montana6489]

What a gorgeous little princess! Wow not asking your toddler to repeat things, whatever is next 😂 I feel like sometimes these people will say anything on TikTok trying to get a viral video! You’re doing a great job with her so just keep doing what ya doing!

[@JamesandCarys]

Hahah this made me laugh and feel much more normal again😅 I agree! Thank you so much lovely❤❤❤❤❤

[@alanafraserrr3865]

Yes people have bigger problems in life. But eczema is so hard to live with. My son had it really bad for the first 3 years of his life and there was nothing more heartbreaking than seeing him get into such a state over it. Everyone fights different battles, and yours is valid, regardless ❤️

[@jade_m_lee]

Amber's little "here you go mum" with the ball was so precious. What a big girl 🌼

[@holliewhatmore474]

Not sure if anyone has commented, but hand sanitizer is brilliant for getting whiteboard pen off most things! X

[@janiceburnall9412]

I could literally listen to Amber chatting all day! She is absolutely adorable, bless her! 😍

[@franday5767]

I feel weird watching vlogs after serving James at Starbucks, last week. It's as if after that tiny encounter I think you're both more real, if that makes any sense 😂❤

[@jjm3009]

Aww I’m giving James mom all the well wishes in the world. Bless her 😣 I hope she gets relief very soon.

[@suzannecalvi4047]

Thank you for Including Amber in a lot of your videos. I don’t have any grandchildren and I can fill that void with video’s of her. Merry Christmas early!!!🎄❤️

@@LucyGrayx what is your reply for?

[@hollyb1711]

She used cute emojis so it shows she thought you had written something nice x

[@laurab6677]

Amber's "hi guys" just melts my heart! 😍🥰❤ And the panelling just finishes the kitchen off and brings it all together!

[@MarieOlivia144]

I suffer from eczema especially around my eyes and neck (but also all over my body). Its so nice to see an influencer sharing their experience and showing that Im not the only one suffering. It's so hard going to work and feeling so insecure so I feel you Carys. Thank you for sharing this on your platform.

[@ShaunaMarieBrennan]

Hey Carys, I just wanted to let you know this year I felt confident wearing dresses, shorts etc during the summer. I’ve always worried and hid away. I am covered in psoriasis and overweight - however watching your motivational talks during the vlogs gave me so much confidence and the right mindset to just wear what makes me happy and don’t worry about what other people think. Thank you for giving me that confidence. I hope you find the same peace in your eczema soon and find a solution that works for you 💕 xxx

[@georgiaspindler3109]

Cary’s I’m absolutely loving the content on your eczema!! Such a nice reminder that I’m not alone 💖 I always find drinking a berocca really helps when having a flare up! 🥰

[@laurenwren6277]

Thank you for sharing and being so open and honest about your eczema, I struggled for years with eczema on my face and I used to get so frustrated and buy expensive products to make it better or try wearing make up over it and it just irritated it and made it worse. I haven't had eczema on my face for a couple of years now and if theres a product I recommend to absolutely everyone its the Weleda moisturiser! I'm sure you've tried everything under the sun, but its worth a go as it honestly transformed my skin! Just remember you're beautiful inside and out xx

[@laurenthomas9699]

I love your vlogs because they are so real. I love that you get carried away chatting about things because that’s real life and I feel like I’m talking to/hearing out a friend. I’m sorry you’re struggling with your eczema, I had it a few years ago when my anxiety was at its peak and thankfully have kept it at bay since but there’s still those odd stressful days when I feel like my skin is burning and itchy. My perspective is my skin is showing my emotions, I know when my body starts to react then mentally I need to care for myself that little bit more that day. I really appreciate that you feel comfortable enough to have a long chat about your thoughts and feelings❤❤❤

[@artiesthebest]

Hearing you talk about the eczema and post vlogs anyways brings me so much comfort right now. I've had a horrible revival of psoriasis all over my body and although it doesn't affect my quality of life, it makes me very self conscious and feel unattractive. Removal of the mirrors is an amazing idea and whatever works for you. Thanks for a safe space

[@invisibleghost85]

When amber said hi guys james' twin🤣..also i repeat EVERYTHING my toddler says and it helps with her speech soo much everybody says shes such a wee chatterbox!

[@anigomtsian2347]

Carys breaks my heart to see you suffer with the eczema! I had/have THE EXACT same thing. Eye lids and joints especially. If it brings you any comfort to know, mine was probably just as bad as yours and honestly, one day after having since I was 5, it cleared and never came back without meds. It’s been 6 years! You’ve got this- remember its temporary!!

[@eml9551]

Thank you for your chat James, it was really reassuring to hear you sharing your down periods during this weather, and I really related to it as I have been struggling in the darker days too. You’ve motivated me to try and get a small bit of exercise in each week, if nothing else, just to give me a mental boost. Well done for doing your bit and encouraging people (especially men) to open up about their mental health and feeling. Thank you! Xx

[@rachelrobinson8406]

Catching up on you guys after not watching for a few months. I love seeing Amber's personality coming out 🥺 makes me remember you guys just talking about her and how she was going to be it's so sweet to see now

[@janiecewhittingham8520]

Carys, I’ve struggled with eczema type flare ups and skin issues over the last couple of years and nothing worked until I saw a functional nutrition therapist! I’d really recommend you to see one because they go through your entire lifestyle and diet to find the root cause of the problem. My flare ups started healing within literally a few weeks when I saw them after spending so long trying everything I could! Deffo give it a try ❤️ I went to the London clinic of nutrition but they do remote appointments so you could give them a go xx

[@christinapalmer8879]

You can get the pen marks of the furniture with hair spray spray and rub with cloth x

[@Rachquacks98]

Watching this August 23 and it’s crazy seeing Amber so little ❤

[@amywoolner99]

OMG you were at Hays Galleria in London! (That indoor outdoor place with the flowers). the hospital I work at is a 5-minute walk from there, such a beautiful area of London.

[@janinesummers2736]

Omg I’m like the biggest fan of a Cary’s ramble But that James ramble was amazing and actually made me feel so much more positive to get out of the slump I’m in 💕 So exited for the Christmas collection to be released 🥰

[@rebekasastakovica1790]

you can tell James knows his wife so well where he says this vlog is gonna be 1h long only half way filming it ,thats so precious

[@DOZGmum]

Carys my middle son needed speech support and all the booklets and resources she gave me said repetition is the best way to get them talking. so like you said always take everything with a pinch of salt and do your own research with the help of professionals if available. youre 100% right every child is different i have 3 and used to say they were polar opposites when i only had 2 and then my 3rd graced us with presence and hes nothing like his big brothers either lol theyve all got different learning styles and personality traits and different interests ect

[@chloe98x]

My eczema is SO bad at the moment so I feel you pain :( for me it’s the dramatic weather change that does it but mine looks like yours… you’re not alone!! Hope it feels better soon ❤

[@jessicanorris6214]

Seasonal affective disorder! It’s always a fun one this time of year, so much fun celebrating everything but the weather and darkness is not the one. Can’t wait for the Christmas vlogs and the Christmas Whittaker House drop!🎄❤️

[@becks9787]

Hey, love the new collection! Will the Christmas collection be restocked?

[@lauralongton6630]

Carys you are beautiful inside and out and I could listen to you all day long the hater need to bugger off and not watch. You have a choice I love watching your vlogs and feel privileged to take the journey with you and your beautiful family much love and good luck with your launch x x

[@fionaa6764]

I have eczema and . On my face I use bottled water. I warm it and clean my face before I go to bed. I do this when I have flare ups. I also have the shower head with the beads. They take all rubbish out of the water. It has really worked for me and my family have also noticed a difference on their skin. Good luck x

[@kerryharding5587]

Hi sweet family- so enjoyed seeing all your faces and catching up with what you’re up to. Wishing you a wonderful week. 🥰🕊💕

[@myraconnelly4090]

[@JamesandCarys]

[@bobbiemc2188]

Carys, the flare up could have been dust from the Christmas decorations from the attic, I find my skin gets itchy and my allergies flare up when I do the same thing!

[@elainedent11]

Carys , your a brave lady , dont sell yourself short , you've got some stuff to contend with there girl but your driving through it like a trooper , your beautiful carys absolutely beautiful with or without makup but I understand you want the choice to wear it when you want , hang in there carys , not long till little miss comes and you will get back to normal xxxx Amber and james and mila ,love you too xxx

[@louyb2365]

Did a ‘sad’ little cheer when you said James was in Cheltenham! Can’t wait for Christmas stock ❤️

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

Aw I love your sweet family😊❤Thanks for sharing another week in your life!!

[@alliibee4015]

I've also started with my inching Christmas in. I've been doing a fall/Winter theme for right now.

[@yvonnejenkinson9460]

Don’t know if you have tried porridge oats soaked in your washing water or bath water best in a nylon sock and let the tap run over it it’s very soothing for eczema worth a try 👍xx

[@michellebutler9593]

Love you all but I really do enjoy James little bits when he does them ❤️

[@yoELLIEx]

Ah where you talk about the view is my daily commute! Wish I had bumped into you both xx

[@mollydyke2313]

Ah can't wait to watch. Love your little family so much xxx

[@JamesandCarys]

Aww this means so much thank you Molly🥹❤️❤️❤️✨

[@stephanym9210]

Carys you touch your hair all the time and then touch your eyes/face. It could be that you are touching the residue shampoo/conditioner and causing contact dermatitis. On my children I've used multiple different things, but you need a barrier such as vaseline at night while you are sleeping, and then a cream such as child's farm through the day. Everyday. So it doesn't dry out xxx

[@saraeckstein3799]

Hi Where is that toy from with the little ball looks fab Amber is just adorable

[@beckyjenkinson0]

Carys, invest in some of the Crayola washable pens! I’ve had them since my son was Amber’s age and he’s now 4. He still gets pen everywhere but has saved so much of my furniture and walls 😂

[@yvonnemcdonald20]

This is lovely Amber is so cute growing up so quick she be great big sister. Youre a wonderful family . Xxx

[@JamesandCarys]

Aw thank you so much!! That’s so kind ❤

[@jennymeadham4348]

Same here i hate the winter months. Im a spring summer person . It is called SAD

[@jennymeadham4348]

Hi so glad you replied i absolutely love your blog every week.

[@sallyburrell7023]

[@Rosieposie94222]

You need to get Amber an aquadoodle mat! She’ll love it. Mess free drawing 😌 x

[@debadamsuksouthwales6766]

Cary's you are an amazing person mother and wife my heart goes out to you suffering with eczema so badly you will eventually find something that will help it and James you are also an amazing person father and husband and looking after Cary's the way you do is so lovely I can't wait for your Christmas collection to come out hopefully I am quick enough to buy something everything I wanted on your last collection was sold out which I am very happy you both deserve the best you both work so hard Amber and baby girl have amazing parents and will have a wonderful life also I just ordered ESTRID razor for my granddaughter sending love and prayers 💞🤗🙏

[@rrye3354]

The only thing that helped my exzema was using tanning beds I tried everything and it would get marginally better but then come right back But as soon as my Derm said to try a tanning bed which she hates to recommend of course it hellped termendously its been gone for over 2 years and I dont have to keep tanning to keep it at bay

[@alicegostling3659]

Love your eczema talks, I’m struggling with topical steroid withdrawal which has been hell the last year so I definitely understand avoiding mirrors, I work nights and I honestly avoid bright lights so people don’t have to see my face 😢

[@jessicamcdonaldvoice]

Hey Carys, have you listened to any of Nicole Sachs podcasts? Or read any of her books? She has an incredible theory on journaling to cure ailments. If we don’t express our stresses it will show up in physical things in our body. Some stresses are buried so deep down too that they are really subconscious. Even just writing a stream of consciousness in the morning and evening for 20 mins (or as long as you can do) can really help. Hope something helps soon. Lots of love. Xx

[@VelvetVolcano]

Carys, I don’t know what type / brands etc of makeup you tend to use, but have you ever tried more natural cosmetics including mineral makeup and stuff like that? So many common brands of makeup have terrible ingredients that are very triggering for many skin conditions. Also, a phrase I use quite a lot is a spin off the idea of someone having “a lot on their plate”, everyone has a different type of plate that has a different capacity for “things” being on it (stress, life events, jobs etc)… some peoples plates could be made of paper, some made of steel etc. Our troubles are all relative and unique to our own situations, you are perfectly valid being frustrated with your eczema, it’s not fun (I also deal with it, amongst other allergy issues) and whether it’s better or worse than what someone else is dealing with, it doesn’t take away from your experience 💖. I hope it eases soon!

[@randaroxy8336]

Can i just say that even with the flare ups , u still look absolutely beautiful 😍 without Makeup ❤

[@hollyyearn5405]

My partner does the same with scales, if he notices I’m obsessing over my weight and how much I weigh/ hating how I look he will hide the scales

[@riagrey9378]

Amber is so beautiful I love the way she talks in toddler talk bless her and her laugh is so sweet and cute you are amazing parents ❤❤❤💙 xxxx

[@thatgirlthatgrows]

Hope your eczema is ok Carys 🤍 Loved James’ little chat at the end! I really struggle with the same thing and he had some really great ideas ‘think of what you were doing when you were happy’ 🤍 such a lovely thought so thanks James!

[@christimama]

Amber going here you go mum and giving you the ball 🥹 ahhhh she’s just too cute and growing so fast

[@samdobbie8362]

Cary's, have you checked incase you are allergic to Lanolin? My mom suffered with her skin for way too many years before discovering this. I love your videos and always make sure to check in to see how you are getting on. Much love to you all xx

[@chloeclover5266]

Where did you get ambers ball toy? My Daughter would love it! 😊

[@victoriajameson4582]

I’ve heard loads you’re supposed to repeat toddlers so they learn it better and it shows you’re listening. Keep doing you! X

[@angelrays7]

James, there’s special seasonal disorder lighting you can purchase maybe you can have some installed in the gym?

[@jenlfc9720]

God Bless you and the family you are wonderful and special remember that girl xxx

[@lh1769]

Could the eczema flare up be because of the paint on the panelling? I feel paint has set it off before?

[@vanessawhitfield91]

I know a girl who had reallly bad eczema and she started on Dupilumab and it's cleared it right up! Not sure if you can use it when pregnant but thought I'd mention it as it's worked wonders for her x

[@Travelbyailsa]

Did you guys say what the name of that restaurant you went to was? It looks so good I’d love to try it!❤️

[@jessperry8961]

Hey have you ever used Balmonds when your skin is sore, my partner has used this and is really good x

[@dianemassey9420]

I saw on another chanel someone recommended your candle in the comments 😊. Love the new Xmas range 🎄. Amber is sooo adorable 😍

[@jessicajones3026]

Vitamin b deficiency causes dermatitis aka eczema especially during pregnancy you can read up on weston A price website just type it in and you will find a article on vitamins and what to eat for them. Wouldn’t recommend a supplement because supplements are synthetic versions and they turn toxic in the body when consumed

[@kerrybarnes989]

Hi Carys I just wanted to say you dont need makeup you are so naturally pretty. Will you be restocking the candles? I am so excited for the Christmas decor to go on sale it all looks so lovely

[@emlou3312]
