LIFE CHANGES | CHRISTMAS WITH THE MGS DAY 13 | Lydia Elise Millen

[@callan02ish]

I agree! I think most of us each week, look forward to the goofy you, the elegant you, the homespun you, the stunning you, the gardening, the bougie, the hilarious YOU! Every time I’m feeling poorly or have a hohum kind of day, I watch one of your vlogs and feel instantly better! Wishing you and Ali such a wonderful holiday!

Perfectly put … this channel is a great place if you need an easy watch pick me up. Lydia you are wonderful ❤️

[@roxanerasolomanana8230]

I love how happy and thriving you seem to be recently. I've been watching you for a bit over a year now, and your lifestyle vlog really does brighten my day. It gives me a way to escape the harsh reality of life. Your vlogs are so dreamy.

[@JulietteJeantyPressler]

YES LYDIA!!! 😍🐴 I’m so happy to hear that you’re taking the next step towards riding 💕 as someone who has ridden for almost 20 years (I’m 26), the passion and love that you experience with horses is like nothing else. If you get into it you’ll never regret it!

[@lalocamariposa8982]

I love how you are living your life unapologetically these days. Society has become so sensitive that anyone else’s successes are wrongfully judge. Anyone on here can have the same success with dedication and hard work. It is absolutely maddening that other women think you owe them an entertaining vlog every upload or that you should have giveaways, or stop shopping. You’re living for you...kudos. We only have one life.... when you look back on yours during this time....you should be proud that you lived for you, your family and your brand. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ❤️

[@sarahtheblue]

Oh Lydia, we are not disappointed in you. We know that you are not perfect and we aren't perfect either. We love watching you learn and grow because we too, are learning and growing. Your videos are an absolute delight, thank you for sharing your life with us all. ❤️

[@gwenscott5722]

Thank you for helping me get through these lock downs. Your videos are such a delight.. It's been such a joy watching you, Ali, Carrie, Lumie and Porter. Love from your American subbies. Happy Holidays.

[@songsenkei]

To be brutally honest-- that VAHA mirror is just like the Lululemon mirror. It's so GIMMICKY rather than functional. I'd rather have a separate TV in the front of the room and a entire adjacent wall of mirrors.

[@nicolalashley]

The second you showed that Christmas ornament, I said, "there's no way that's going on a Lydia tree, give it to Carrie." 🤣🤣

[@SarahEdensOfficial]

Dear Lydia, you made 2020 bearable for me with your lovely videos. Thank you so much for continuing to create magical content during such an awful year, my husband was on COVID front lines as a medical provider and it was important for me to stay positive for him…you were my inspo and good vibes! I’ve been especially grateful for your interview with Jacqueline Hurst her book is a game-changer. Wishing you and the entire MG team a very Merry Christmas and Happy 2022!

[@semagon1117]

When you wear your hero ring ALONE with no other rings on any finger it just stands out and totally brings attention to its beauty whereas if you stack it, it looks nice but it gets lost in with all the other metal. Don’t get me wrong I am a maximalist as well but that hero ring needs it’s own stage for sure!!!!!!!!!!💍💍💍💍 You can see what I mean in 35:28 I actually loved your no makeup and bun up-do look with just one ring on with a minimal tee. Looks so chic. Again don’t get me wrong your full do with all the bling and curls and bows are nice but you have such striking features that you can look so much more stunning when you cut back!

[@cristinamac-kay7175]

Absolutely looking magnificent Lydia. My heart just melts. Love seeing you this happy …. Love you guys!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@annmariemerlino3102]

Hello -- I want to ask a serious question. We've all been watching Vlogmas with all the influencers, we've seen them unbox thousands of dollars of free things, on top of what they are all receiving for Christmas. Why is it that nobody did a giveaway? Not one of the influencers that I know except Dominique Sachse is doing a giveaway. How much stuff is enough stuff?

[@petitesideofstyle]

If it’s been gifted to you, there not allowed to gift or supposed to resell the items

[@sherryedel]

You can save urself a fortune and use ur TV or laptop

[@lovelifementoring5399]

You have a way of doing what you want making things happen and making no excuses for anything. You help me to have more self worth. X

[@geyj1]

I'm not sure but I have a feeling VAHA is kind of Gimmicky!! You already have mirrors, a big T.V. screen and the internet! Why the need for VAHA?! Perhaps I don't get it! Good luck anyway.

[@alinaconstantin418]

Hey lydia, I’ve observed how fit you are ,you have abs and you have a round bum😃🤦‍♀️ you look amazing, personally I can see a difference this year almost past.. you look more positive as well, I’m so glad that you share with us .. thank you🙏

[@BrandyH-eh9up]

Omg the longest ad ever. Sorry girl i had to tune out

[@alexisyates28]

I was actually really interested in it because I have been thinking about it as a product. Nothing stops you skipping ahead :)

[@rebeccafalkner2876]

Same. Was PAINFUL

[@carolinedavidson2412]

I was so inspired by your holiday party dress, that I ordered the same one for New Year's Eve. Thank you Lydia!

[@dar_sky]

41:15 it’s moments like these that I appreciate how relatable Lydia is

[@jiia.cherry]

HAHAHAHHA

[@barbaragoduto1132]

OMG I just bought the lululemon mirror in the US and can't wait to use it today. For 2022 I stepped up my game and I'm making a point to workout 5 days a week. I lost 25lbs 2021 and now it's time to step it up one more notch......TONE. Every other day I use the treadmill for 40min and the time goes by sooooo fast, because I'm watching you on KZbin. Your the only KZbinr I soooo look forward to watching. You are always happy and you make my day to a great start watching you early in the morning. Thank you and Happy New Year to you, Porter (who is so fricking adorable!!) Allie and Carrie :)

[@the30style94]

Love a morning routine vid. Your dance class was hilarious “and lasso!” 😆 I love your weather reports! I do the same, and honestly the weather is so weird here in Australia too - kind of cold, not hot, raining, sunny, humid 🤦‍♀️ But today is meant to be 31 degrees 🥵 Also, you’ve done an amazing job to identify your anxieties and really work on them. THAT is strong, and all those negative comments (especially the few I read this morning 😒) for the most part, really aren’t called for. I can see how much you’ve grown, so pat yourself on the back 🤩 Have a beautiful day Lydia 🥰

[@melaniecarosi8320]

You could have just joined Apple Fitness and saved yourself a lot of money. I am 65 and do it everyday! I absolutely love it!

[@nikkimclay5474]

doesnt fit the aesthetic darling !

[@melaniecarosi8320]

…but it fits her new Apple Watch!

[@VondaSims]

Aw, so many saying what I was about to type. I agree with the wonderful lady in your letter. Am so glad you kept vlogging while everyone is having hard times. I kept smiling thinking it may help others, when your content I can relate to and is a true balm to the soul. Thank you Lydia 😊

[@christineoehler6801]

Every time The Holiday comes on TV, I think of you. I remember that it’s one of your favorites

[@alexisyates28]

Been loving your vlogs lately Lydia, you inspired me to workout this morning in Sydney, Australia. The vaha looks so great. I don’t know if anyone has it and also has Apple fitness, how would you say it compares in terms of difficulty ? Because I have found myself finding the Apple fitness workouts a bit too easy lately, does vaha have different difficulties that are actually differentiated? Xx

[@johannas2085]

You inspired me to have a quick home workout, nothing much but it’s still a big deal for me. You’re amazing and the best time if the year is when you do vlogmas, every video brings my day so much joy. Thank you also for getting me through the pandemic with your videos 💕

[@glynisvt]

The bum is from the Barre classes! 😄It's amazing for that!! Lots of "seat work" and really targets that area.

[@sasantuli7963]

i love your vlogs so much, please don’t ever stop🥺❤️❤️

[@auntyste]

Your long videos are my work out companion 💕💕

[@linnebt]

OMG the transition on 38:47 really made me jump!!! Hahaha!

[@AnaDiaz-ff6cz]

thanks for sharing that you are dyslexic.. it helps me like my self a little more... THANKYOU

[@sarawilson6746]

Hello Lydia, do you notice the finger prints on the mirror after you’re finished touching and selecting the options? Is it noticeable? Worried after my workout there would just be a bunch of finger prints left on the mirror

[@kimberlyvds1984]

love your videos, your personality... pure relaxation for me. always be your beautiful, sparkling self ❤️

[@jimjam1979247]

Loving your Christmas content, watch these more than I watch Tv 📺😂😘😘

I’m so glad that you love letters from us because last week I sent you something! It’s coming from California so I hope it gets to you by Christmas! 😊💗

[@lisahodge3984]

Sorry if I missed one of your vlogs, which surprises me as I never miss a vlog, but where did you get your pendant from. It is beautiful.

[@petitesideofstyle]

Can’t wait to see the new car 🚙 what a gorgeous colour it’ll be too!

[@aneesabaksh957]

There's a girl on TikTok that is swapping her home with someone in Surrey for the holidays. She lives in New York. Everyone is hoping she'll fall in love.

[@blankroyai]

@27:50 love love love the necklace you’re wearing. Anyone knows what brand it is? Looks so beautiful!!!

[@louloubell7288]

Wow you really suit your hair up in a bun. You look so young and fresh with a gorgeous slender neck. So jealous as I look like a spud 🥔😂😍🥰❤️

[@kaimberan6192]

Lydia I also loved you during lockdown! I loved watching your many projects and was inspired the following spring with seedlings " sprooting"😊 and was so genuinely inspired watching you. So glad you vlooged it out 😉💛

As I a sales person, I am really inspired of sales going on this channel :) appreciated!

Love your hair up in a bun. So many times when you're doing your OOTD I wish you'd pull back your hair. I'd say try it more often, it looks great. Congratulations on the new Rover!!

Hahaha! even I learnt the correct pronunciation of "preface" today. Big day for me haha. Many thanks for the much needed lesson lol

This made my day much better Also which Gymshark tights are those brown ones at the beginning?

[@katebates4369]

I’m dyslexic and this sounds fantastic thanks for your perspective!!

[@Dianna-vv6lc]

Why gain the world when you eventually lose your soul? You will never be happy attached to material goods, no wonder your hurting like somethings missing. Look within before you lose your soul.

[@Dianna-vv6lc]

@Laney 26 Unfortunately these are the same people that sold their soul for material gain. We're living in the last days and they haven't got a clue what's to come next year.

[@still2shy]

The vlogs have taken off in a materialistic way lately. I start losing interest when posing in the underwear started, it’s just not classy. Nothing against Lydia, I think the constant spotlight on oneself and trying to sell yourself comes off as narcissistic.

[@Dianna-vv6lc]

@@still2shy You have to be narcissistic to talk about yourself all day.

[@Jassibeanx]

It was so nice to join you guys in the gym 😍

Have you ever done a what you eat in a day video? 😊 I’d love to see one ❤️☘️

I do feel quite ashamed… I do not follow a healthy plan and to make it worse, I make the new year resolution of “Must Try Harder “ 😳😳 , well done you hun 👍🏻❤️xxx p.s this could be it Lydia 😁. VaHa looks brilliant . I will definitely look into this, thank you 🙏🏻😉

[@SzazaM077]

The mirror equipment wouldn't last a day in my house with 4 kids plus it does take some space. I love exercising to PamRief, Madfit, LilySabri on KZbin on my Apple laptop. And yes! I do have 6 packs which I am very proud of - still size UK8 after having 4 kiddies. The only thing one needs to have is the goal, motivation and plan. 😆💪❤️

[@alexisyates28]

That’s so good you found something that works for you and your lifestyle. I think this is really amazing for people who don’t have your awesome motivation and maybe don’t have four gorgeous kiddies. Xx

[@SzazaM077]

@@alexisyates28, the rule I live by is to 'start where you are, use what you can, do what you can.' I am blessed with 4 kids but I really need to be organised to keep myself fit around them. It takes a lot of determination and it's not easy.😊💪

Hypothetically if i were to own that workout gadget, the thing that would bug me are finger prints that you leave while browsing the content which become visible when it is in the mirror mode

[@ginagi07]

Ordered the Vaha mirror and although the money has been taken, no order number so no tracking. Tried the helpline and it is only in German (i do not speak it)!!! Do not order!!! Now trying to get my money back.

[@danaweaver4129]

Lydia, the only way you could 'let us down' is not believing enough in yourself - and also explaining yourself too much! I swear most videos you apologise for something that 99.9% of us watching totally understand and the .1% who do don't aren't worth engaging with. (this is so untrained psychiatrist of me but it seems like you feel guilty about not fully engaging online during a hard time in your life, but there is nothing to feel guilty about! Your audience understands and will stick with you and who cares what the trolls do!?) 😂❤️

[@joytaylorivy9443]

Too bad we can't purchase the Vaha in the US

[@djamilamonteiro8951]

Look, I used to have a tiny apartment and used KZbin all the time. One of the things I hated was not being able to see myself. I particularly get scared of pulling something due to bad posture as I have terrible coordination. Also, while I can watch videos on my phone/laptop, I need a bigger screen for workouts. If I could afford it, I’d buy the vaha in a heartbeat...for now I’ll just have to write Santa a letter lol PS: I’m just writing this comment for anyone who thinks this is a waste. We all have different needs, perks and pockets 😉 Feliz Natal 🎄

[@annettesceon7431]

Thank you for your honesty. You do you. Merry Christmas.

I still remember when you didn't really upload and mostly did instagram - with the fitness content! That's when I started following you! And I kind of think I really grew up with you because we share so many passions from beauty to the thermomix and luxury bags! Just never not loved watching your content!

I literally love Lydia, I've been watching her videos since 5 years or so, but something emerged in the last 2 years that I cannot deal with anymore, her forced and stilted laugh...I don't know why but when I hear it, I feel embarrassed. Is she always trying to outshout everyone at the table ? It looks like she wants to be in the center of the universe " look at me, guys listen to me"
