We've been waiting to have a little sunshine and some down time for such a long time now and we were lucky enough to return to one of our favourite resorts in the Maldives - The Conrad Maldives Rangali! Join us for a couple of work moments, lots of downtime and even more fashion. I'm thrilled that this vlog is partly sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger in honour of their newest Summer collection - the perfect looks for our couples Holiday.

A philosopher once said that if you are depressed then you are living in the past, if you are anxious then you are living in the future, and if you are at peace then you are living in the present

[@sophie5317]

It sounds mad to say but I hope one day Alex and Vic go on holiday and we don't see any of it. Just a holiday for them with no vlog or content at all.

[@andreacavasino2529]

Exactly 😊

[@eatmyoctopus]

My partner is a tv cameraman and you rarely see us holidaying because he won’t pick up a camera and I can’t be bothered 😂

[@juliahunt456]

They have to pay their bills And I doubt they would advertise it if they did

[@kyliestark7356]

Yep I want them to go to Bali - live on the beach no power just ocean beach and life stops . Xx

[@hottienumber09]

​@@juliahunt456 agreed. There's a lifestyle to fund. Very few moves without financial gain. I often look at things like the Coach endorsements and recognize this is off (luxury) brand.

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much for opening up and talking about how you’ve been feeling. It’s so clear how hard you’ve worked over the years. I’ve recently turned 38, but turning 38 years and 10 days old was something I thought about for a long time. My dad passed away when I was 9. He was 38 years and 10 days old. It’s made me realise how short life is, how much we have to embrace it as much as possible xx

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Sending you so much love, thank you for sharing here and it sounds like you're someone he would be intensely proud of xx

[@jannieo]

Victoria, I lived life in the fast lane all over the USA and Europe for 22 years and have no regrets. I always said, Live like you are dying! As the expression goes "Take the trip, Buy the Shoes, Eat the Cake" I am 69 now and my last 9 years have been consumed my health problems. Varied and many, non stop. I was a swim suit model, a beauty contestant, and a flight attendant for 15-20 years. It goes fast. Enjoy your exquisite beauty, youth, success, and your loving marriage!! You work so hard. You deserve all the best life has to offer Victoria. Sending lots of love ! Jannieo from Maine, USA

[@jeanzellers4604]

Don’t wait until you’re older. “Older” is not guaranteed us. My daughter died at 33. You are in a fortunate position to be the master of your own time, as well as having some financial security. While I absolutely adore your posts, and so appreciate your content and professionalism no job/career is worth harming your marriage and your physical and mental health. I’m 66 years old and spent the better part of 25 years caring for a sick child, aging mother and mother-in-law. My health suffered, I developed severe anxiety, and our marriage was a roller coaster. All while working a more than full-time job as the Director of Corporate Advertising at a major company. We are both now older and retired from our careers. We’ve lost our only child. But thank heaven still have each other. If you can do it now, do it. You will never regret it. Love your Momma in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 😘 P.S. No filming or posting from Copenhagen. 😀 That’s your next challenge, to truly get away and disconnect.

[@natatatt]

It is such an valuable point that "nothing is promised". My grandfather was 60 when he died. My grandmother barely had a retirement with him before he passed. It's so important to enjoy life now (and to take breaks and time with family), not just in the future.

[@VictoriaMagrath]

I’m so sorry lovely ❤️❤️

[@lornaloch1700]

As someone who is a silent viewer and never comments, I just want to say I can’t wait for the day Vic hits 1 million subscribers. She is so deserving of it with her hard working, elegant ambition and unmovable sense of self. I am in my early 20s and only hope to find the confidence and humbled success that you so perfectly role model, and that is exemplified even more about the chat in this video about living life to the fullest right now.

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Oh Lorna this is so kind of you thank you for being here xxx

[@victoriamather2267]

I’m glad you’re taking time to examine your life and make changes. Very few people do this 🥰

[@RJ.Mitchell]

Definitely agree with the people saying you guys need to do more trips together & not share it with us, just do something special for you guys. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us!!! One of my beautiful friends who I went right through school with lost her husband 5 years ago at age 42, he was fit & healthy, he was earning great money in his job & yet he had a brain aneurysm with absolutely no warning!!! Don’t take each other for granted & make a conscious decision put your relationship ahead of everything else 💕

[@jacquelinemcmain1146]

Hi Vic. You are so right. You have to live for the now. I retired last year at 59 with lots of plans to do all the things we had dreamed about and saved for. 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer and I don't know when I will be able to do any of that stuff. Please live your life with balance and take holidays and do stuff that doesn't require an Instagram post ❤❤

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Sending you so much love Jacqueline, thinking of you and sending you positive vibes whenever you need them xx

[@cheche2181]

Just remember that you’re not letting ANYONE down if you don’t film for a couple of weeks. It’s okay to not vlog your holidays sometimes and just take time for you and Alex. I felt so sad when you spoke about your Nan as the same thing happened to my grandparents . Everyone is entitled to their own privacy and time off from their job, whatever it is. I vote that should Victoria try and vlog her next holiday we should all mute the video and turn our backs in protest🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣. Seriously though we will be here when you get back.🥂

[@VanessaButtino]

I think the reason why the girls’ advice hit so hard this time was because you were READY for it. You were ready to hear it, understand it, and act on it. I’ve noticed that with myself as I’ve gotten older. Certain things just hit so hard now whereas before, when I was younger, I just wasn’t ready or prepared enough or experienced enough to take advice in and really digest it (let alone act on it).

[@beccavry]

Your vulnerability and honesty in this vlog is is astoundingly gorgeous, Vic. Lately, I've found myself living for the future that may never come, yet have not had the courage to admit to that fact the way you have. Thank you for inspiring me to reflect on this, for considering the bigger picture. My oldest child is going to university in the fall, and my youngest may be doing the same thing one year from now. Time is finite. I guess it's time to carpe diem!

[@meganryan9945]

Victoria I love what you had to say about living life for today. Never had truer words been spoken! It is so true. I won’t bore you with my trials and tribulations, just know that all anyone really has guaranteed is today. Live life every day exactly as you wish, happiness comes in the small moments along the way while you’re doing that😘

[@HelenT-nw4vk]

Oh sweetheart, I wanted to reach out and hug you when you were getting upset, it brought tears to my eyes too. I'm 59 this year and I don't know where life has gone, I've had some lovely times but keep thinking "when this happens" or "when that happens" but I have to make it happen before it's too late. Someone said the other day "You have two lives, and your real life starts when you realise you only have one". I've lost friends too young and when that happens you determine to live for the moment, then life's routine takes over again. Don't let it, make this a change that becomes the norm. Live for now and relish your days without them passing by in a mad rush xx

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Absolutely beautiful comment, thankyou so much Helen x

[@coco69xox]

I love this “You have two lives, but your real life starts when you realise you only have one” … words to live by!!! ❤

[@LauraNinjabetic1]

You are the sweetest person. I'm a hospice nurse and I see people in their 20's, 30's, 40's and so on dying every day. Please live for now and make the most of every second. You so deserve to! Lots of love to you and Alex xx

[@Allison14markmakeup]

I’m proud of you vic, for opening up and getting vulnerable, going on a full on vacation and letting yourself enjoy life. I completely get it. Working so hard because you love what you do often gets tangled in the concept of fulfillment. But you are you. You are not your job as much as it might feel like it. ❤❤❤

[@thatsmental]

Victoria, I hardly ever comment but I'm glad you've had a realization and you're making some changes. It's true, many people leave us too soon and we don't know when our time will come. My approach and way of "honoring" them is by living life to the fullest and enjoying it every single day because you never know what might happen. Life is too short to be spent worrying about stupid shit and doing things you don't like. I ask myself "if I die tomorrow, would I die happy"? And the answer is yes. I see you both working incredibly hard! I see you have a really strong work ethic and you're not just in it for the likes and the glamour. But you also deserve a break! Maybe something that could further help are clearer boundaries and separation between when you're working and when you're not. Since you work and live together, maybe choosing certain days/times of day as off or places as off limits etc. Could help create more down time - I know life as an entrepreneur is non-stop which is why it's so important to create those moments of rest. Wishing you all the best with it!

[@jasmineneven9432]

Thank you for being vulnerable and open to your true feelings. My mom has cancer and I took time off to look after her. Life is short and goes by fast and I know you are grateful for everything life has given you, but realising that you need to appreciate the people closest to you, this is precious. By the way Alex’s feet are pretty enough for modelling 🥰

[@Holappl]

Thank you for taking us along and appreciate the honesty! I hope there is a second holiday planned that is truly offline ;) Something really powerful about turning off and directing *all* intention and energy to just you and your partner. No shoots. No work. No vlogging. And most importantly - you deserve it!!

[@carolwood9270]

They probably do take trips without vlogging. And probably fairly often, long weekends for instance. Why wouldn’t they. It makes sense…

[@nessiesmakeup6244]

Aw Viva, I hear you and feel you....when you lose someone you just never recover but you do tent to view things from completely different perspective and it's so sad we have to expierence to see and understand this. Life is so short and yet so fast and so much pressures but we got to enjoy somehow and yes yes for doing your thing take time off as much as you can, work is always going to be there. Sometimes we r grabbing too much and what for?!!! Health wellbeing and family always comes first. Also can I just say, I have watched your videos for a while now and it's so nice to see you engaging with your vulnerable side, it's real and can relatable. Thanks for sharing. Be kind to yourself and enjoy. Big hugs and love x x x

[@Charlee245]

Victoria, this was so beautiful. Also, something to consider is that when you turn something down, it opens that opportunity up for someone else. What a blessing that is, knowing that the job could be helping someone else at the same time as not doing it helps you to relax. Just something that popped into my head. Hope you had an amazing vacation!!! 💜

[@EEN63]

Being self employed can be a double edged sword. You have the freedom to choose which jobs to accept but also never know when the next opportunity will surface, so I rarely said no unless scheduling was impossible. I also had a really hard time turning down work to take time off... and subsequently rarely if ever took time off. However, I believe work/life balance is truly key to happiness on all levels... physical health, mental health, family relationships, friendships, etc. Being truly present and making the most of your holiday (with tiny bits of work) looks like it was the perfect balance for you! So proud it clicked for you and hope this will help in making the burnouts less often! I think it’s great you picking favorites over quantity for future fashion weeks. I would much rather watch you not be constantly in a rush and truly enjoy the whole process more! Balance is sometimes very difficult. I think living for today, being really present and appreciating everything fully but still working for the future makes the most sense for me. I have definitely found a little balance goes a very long way! So happy you have found your perfect holiday! 💗💗💗

[@lliagomes]

Hi Victoria! I'm facing depression and your testimony helped me more than any conversation people have with me to motivate me. U inspire me a lot! thanks for motivating me

[@lizziebennet2700]

I love the extra Alex content - he's so sweet and smart and funny. Love the two of you together.

[@afc2314]

Thank you for talking about this, Vic, it is so important! I think our generation struggles with this so much because we feel like we have to compensate for something. I was crying along with you talking about your grandparents, so enormously poignant. I think about it with my folks as well - my mother has dementia and I know my dad didn't see things panning out this way for their lives after he retired. It's a shocking life lesson at any time, but even more so when it's "too late" so to speak. I am so happy that you're not waiting until then. Grab life by the balls, babe! xx

[@caitlinhorn5763]

The change in you in so obvious to see. You look happy, relaxed and content. Thank you for being so honest with how you've been feeling, and it shows to everyone how hard you and your team work all year round. Defo need to continue taking time for yourself and your loved ones. enjoy x

[@suzywaller2]

Only half way through but I am crying. Glad to hear you talk this way and hope you continue to enjoy some holiday time with Alex separate to work. Like you said live for today tomorrow may never come. You don’t want to look back and regret anything. You work so hard so you can enjoy time off. Don’t wait till your too old to enjoy it. Relatable as always sending love and hugs x

[@kv7654]

Victoria…..I’m so happy for you and Alex…..learning to enjoy your life. You are both the hardest workers in the industry but it’s all for naut if you’re not enjoying the now. Joy IS the reason for working so hard. As your other stories …..my parents were literally three weeks away from “being able to start enjoying life”, when my mother suddenly died at 66. So she missed out on so much and my dad never did do any of the travelling that they’d been waiting to do and has literally been depressed for the past 14 years….exactly like your grandparents. My dad is now 84 and terminally ill. Don’t delay joy. ENJOY your life now snd always. It’s THE reason for working so hard. You can afford it, at such a young age…..you deserve two long vacations a year already. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️ Thank you for opening your heart and story to us.

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Oh babe, gosh this really hit hard. I am so so sorry your family had to go through that, life can be so unfair xx

[@jennahoran8647]

We can never get the past back. I think the pandemic has really opened up so many people’s eyes on what their quality of life is, what they want and don’t want, and there’s a huge culture shift happening. I’ve always tried to put myself first, but I now have the opportunity, due to remote work, to start making a lifelong dream come true for myself. To live part time near the ocean, to travel, to spend my time as intentionally as possible. I have no regrets about how I’ve spent the past. But I’m taking more control over my future and really putting my wants, needs, and dreams above all else. I love the epiphany you came to. I remember years ago now posting on a comment on one of your blogs, saying that I hoped you could find a balance to enjoy everything you work so hard for, and to enjoy it now, not later.

[@elishamink9829]

I work in Hospice. Believe me, we don't know if we will have later. People pass young, very young everyday. I think you may not realize that you are still working. I recommend you unplug sometimes and live life like you would if social media didn't exist.

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Thankyou ❤️❤️

[@patriciarowley7195]

Victoria you made me tear up. My brother in law was a work aholic to the point where he would take holidays then go into work. He was diagnosed with prostrate cancer and passed away soon after. I will never forget one of the last things he said which was "The one thing that I regret is working so hard and not spending time and making memories with my family" Please take the time to just Be...none of us know what's around the corner. Look after you and your husband ❤🌻🌻🌻

Oh gosh I am so sorry to hear that lovely, this really hits home doesn't it xx

[@weemabelandmaud6285]

Dearest Victoria I am 60 ! Please don’t put anything on hold to await that time for things that bring you joy ~ that bring you both joy. Being 60 , as I am, is not horrid ~ but the time left is certainly less unlike when you are in your 30’s. Do things that plug you in regularly so you get less drained. Not the other way round. Make your days count ~ but that count in your meaning of count. It’s great to have goals and fabulous aims … but we actually only truly have the ‘meantime’ and it’s the meantime that we need joy in order to deal with all the other stuff. Marinate in more mango time my lovely xxx This is all said in love to you both xxx

I really started tearing up when you did. I think society pushes us to be working all the time and make as much money as we can that we forget to take time for ourselves. Like yes money is important but you will be never get that time back with your friends and family so truly cherish that time with them!

I'm so glad you two finally are enjoying some time off. I'm 60 and my mother passed when I was 21 she was 59. I try to travel 2 or 3 times a year when the budget allows it, clean my head and enjoy. Life is difficult so taking a break it's a must! The place is magical really, I hope one day I'll see it for myself. Love the outfits and the hair and you two are the cutest🥰🥰

[@Wandertheworldwithme]

I feel the same way❤ I heard of people working so hard and retiring and then not fulfilling their dreams. Every day is a gift and I realized a couple years ago that I love for today. I love to travel and I am 35 and have a toddler and newborn and yearning to travel next year. I’ll be traveling again once my baby is 1 yrs old, but I’m passionate about living my dreams now and having my kids be a part of that dream.

This was a teary-eyed video for me. I love that you surround yourself with the best girls who lift you up and God bless them for that timely reminder to you. I’m happy you both took this trip to spend time together. You and Alex look so happy and I truly see the joy radiating between you two. Keep it up and when you feel that burnout coming, take a quick breather, even if it’s a mini staycation locally.

The Maldives is so beautiful. Your jobs are so pressurised and you always have to be on it, that always comes with a cost. What I can share is it is for you to set your priorities. I had a similar pressurised job and your real life should never be compromised over the job. It took me a longtime to realise this. Alex is your anchor, you get one life love, laugh and live x

Such a special vlog 💕 you work so bloody hard, you definitely need and deserve all the breaks! Totally with you on living in the moment xx

[@otwong8657]

Just beautiful ❤. Your true friends/friendship, the realisation, your words.

[@danid8959]

This video really has resonated with me so so much. I appreciate your honesty about overworking and not making the time to live for today. So easy to get wrapped up in work/everyday life and not take a moment for yourself. I just took my mom on a girls vacation last week, just the two of us.. because I've been feeling so much lately like time is just passing us by so quickly. I'm 35 and starting to realize that time is flying by! Thank for reminding me that its so important to have these times, especially with those who are alive and well! Making memories and spending time with those who matter is just so important as we get older. Hoping you continue to set the time aside for yourself and all those who you love. Xo

19:54 Wow Victoria &Alex how absolutely beautiful this is what life is all about. Enjoy, make memories and live your life to the fullest. Sending you both all the best❤❤

[@yiotamintzas801]

Hi Victoria,wow Maldives looked amazing and so happy you both enjoyed your trip away . Thankyou for taking us all with you , and sharing on how you feel about life and what life is like for each person xx❤

[@alexleo82]

Victoria most of us has got this moment at some point in lives that we realise what is the most important thing and why we are not enjoying life now but instead we are constantly waiting for better times to come or to do more and keep “ happiness “ for later unfortunately nobody knows how much time we have left and it’s so beautiful what you said, maybe someone will listen your story and think 🤔 about their life ❤ You’re so lovely person and you seem really happy xxx

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Thank you babe, really appreciate you being so kind xx

[@helhan]

The way Alex looks at Victoria with utter love is what we all want 🥰

[@annievans]

I’m so glad I started following you so long ago. You are the most real honest normal person I follow. ❤❤

[@radicalaccounting]

the difference is that it came from you -- you saying what you want. Being old and having worked hard for a long time (and having heard the same things) there are many benefits that people who don't work hard don't understand, like getting to write your own ticket, better work relationships, money for downturns, etc. So I support & adnire you & your husband both working hard and all that you've created.

[@michellemusil926]

Hi Victoria. Life is so short and we do not have any guarantee of tomorrow. My sister died at 38 unexpectedly from undiagnosed and untreated leukemia. She always lived life to the fullest. She loved deeply and did everything she loved without fear. I am happy to know she packed so much life experience into such a short time. Start enjoying yourself now! Thank you for your lovely videos.

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Sending you the biggest cuddle Michelle, I'm so sorry you had to go through such a huge loss. Your sister sounds like the sort of person I would have loved to have known and would have inspired me to do more with my life! xx

[@VictoryGroove]

Appreciate that you vlogged and transported us with you to the Maldives 🥰🥰🥰

[@lesleytreble6168]

Had to watch this in bits whilst on holiday in Kefalonia. Thank you for doing a long one. Loved it so much. The clothes and the hotel look amazing.

[@jodiemcconnell7284]

Watching from my TV 😢 it's such a real thing to have all those feelings but your right we don't take notice of how we drive ourselves, it's just so hard to balance what you have to do and what you really should be doing.... life is very difficult at times we all need lessons on how to better hear ourselves... sending you strength and support for better times❤

[@lisabell736]

Great video as always. Definitely take time for yourself. Work can be fun but quality time is so priceless. You can look at it from a really bleak perspective....my brother at 55 found out he was riddled with cancer at xmas, he died January 16th. He told me to live life as we never know when it's game over. Live now with your loved ones. Sounds corny but hold eachother close. Very emotional but totally relatable vlog xx

[@joannejobling5754]

Best video you have ever made. Love how real both of you are and humble. Enjoy more holidays girl you both have worked so hard for it ❤ Gorgeous people 💕 xx

[@heatherashworth7180]

Sending you all the love! Both of you! I teared up with you as you spoke so passionately about living in the moment and it’s so so so important! You are amazing and you absolutely deserve to enjoy and truly LIVE your beautiful life for you and do WHATEVER recharges your batteries! Xoxo. ❤

[@heatherbonner3277]

You guys are my absolute fav. I'm 37 and suddenly lost my dad in a cycling accident last year. As horrendous as it has been it has really opened my eyes that we are not on this planet forever so I'm now making every effort possible to live in the present and make special memories with my husband, family and friends. Sending love xx

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Gosh Heather I am so so sorry for your loss, thank you for taking a moment to share - so appreciate you xx

[@heatherbonner3277]

@VictoriaMagrath thank you Victoria. I really appreciate the reply. On a positive note you have given us major honeymoon inspo when we get planning it.

[@VictoriaMagrath]

I'm so happy you have a little joy to look forward to! Any questions let me know - always happy to chat xx

[@sarahn944]

❤ loving the fact you have done a vlog xx

[@karent9887]

Another lovely vlog lovely to hear you chat about what’s important in life ❤

[@emmagoldbergliu]

This video couldn't have come at a more appropriate time for me (and for a lot of people!). Everything you said about living life for today is something that is one of the "simplest" ideas but the absolute hardest to fulfill. Thank you for the reminder!!!

[@leam8223]

Thank you for speaking the truth what alot of us actually feel. I had a lovely upbringing but we are brought up to work for our future, when we are old! We need to work yes but live and have fun while you are young & healthy. I'm 48 & trying to do this more. Kind regards from Leeds UK 💕.

[@sandrahossman2089]

Victoria looks like a fantastic vacation! Hope you rested and rejuvenated. Safe travels.

[@juliarawahkerz]

Love the video beautiful shots🥰. Thank you for opening up about your feelings and thoughts on work life balance and how your feeling. Wishing you all the best🍀.

[@kristyreynolds8334]

Loved this video. The older you get, the faster life goes by at an alarming speed. Enjoy the present!

[@michelleharding9468]

Looks like you’ve had a fantastic time and I’m glad you both got to chill and relax

[@hoptoi]

The pictures in the disappearing sunset are fantastic!

[@hannahcarter4866]

Awwww Frow (sorry Vic! 😂)….this vlog had me welling up and grinning from ear to ear, you are both brilliant people, thanks so much for sharing on this one (and for taking some time to relax) what an incredible place too xxx

[@gwenhunter8454]

♥️ retaking your power, it’s a beautiful thing to get to watch. Life is for you and yours, no one else x

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Love this xx

[@gwenhunter8454]

As I continually say to my Dad, just cause you’ve got a phone it doesn’t mean that you are available all the time. Been taking my own advice the last 6 weeks…. The power of ‘No’ is incredible.

[@TheUnapologeticallyMimi]

This was a lovely video. Glad you are taking some time out to reflect on things. When you are happier it comes across on the videos as I think a few of your recent ones I did sense there was something missing. Don’t worry about it being perfect as you both are doing amazing! You both have achieved so much so enjoy it x

[@leya6063]

I got so emotional with you. It is something I always say to myself. Im so scared of the future and possible sickness and death that I dont even get to enjoy my day to day life. And I have to start to remind myself to enjoy every single day. ❤ And why do we alaways WAIT. Wait for the weekend, wait for a holiday, wait for a stupid package to make us more happy. Its so stupid. Everyday is Life. Impactful important time. ❤

[@terribarnett4643]

The chairs are perfect, as is the rest of the dining room, and every other renovated space in your lovely home. Congratulations ❤

[@annettebalaguer9192]

Wonderful holiday and beautiful outfits to match!! Thanks for sharing and Blessings! 😍

[@Hayley749]

Please enjoy it now don’t wait I’m an older lady 52 and I’m too tired at times still juggling it all although my kids have grown up I now still have a full time job and a very frail dad to look after so I often wonder when does it get easier. I’ve concluded it doesn’t there will always be something so please take time now as you don’t know what’s around the corner and seeing Alex in that lovely blue shirt wow so enjoy each other now - much love xxxxx

[@stephroberts8501]

So happy you've decided to put your life now as a priority. I live a completely different life to you but I decided during covid that I would go back to work full time for a bit to enjoy the time now with my daughter as life goes by too fast

[@ayre613]

your long chat.. thank you for sharing. def helps put things into perspective and see how I can enjoy life more this year

[@loriblack5785]

As a dual career couple, since probably age 30... we've stayed on a strict schedule of taking off at least a week (if travel, would try to schedule in both weekends as well to make it 10 days with air) EVERY quarter... so 3 months apart. Your mind, body, spirit needs that break... usually took a couple days before felt free (read, play games/cards, explore area, hike, ski, swim, eat out, show/tour/movie/music, wee bit of shopping.)

[@dorothysliben3382]

Magical vlog ❤ so happy you getting your ducks in a row and enjoying the here and now. 🥰

[@AlyAshton]

Victoria I have been watching your videos for some time now and always look forward to catching up with your life and all that you do, selfishly I have never taken the time to leave you a comment until now, this video where you sat talking about life itself and how you are refocussing the things that are important to you was a breath of fresh air to hear, thank you for your lovely videos but more importantly for being so real at times like you are in this one, enjoy the rest of your idyllic holiday , much love to you both x

[@VictoriaMagrath]

Thank you for being here Aly, really appreciate you and love that this was your first comment :) xx

[@sallykins3800]

You are a professional and a lovely sensitive woman, you are so right, most of us are guilty of not living our lives and enjoying the moment.
