[@LizzyHadfield]

Hey guys! Just to make it a little clearer, my book box isn't ready to order just yet, and i will let you all know as soon as it it! And of course share a link! Sorry for any confusion. Lizzy xxx

[@gabbythompsonmusic]

The way you put olive oil on your food reminds me of that meme where the waiter keeps adding parmesan until everyone is drowning in parmesan and everyone is happy.

[@gizematasoy3047]

Hahah yes i was thinking “3 min of putting olive oil”

[@miladeb]

i always apreciate your honesty when talking about xmas.its not happy time for everyone lets do what makes us feel better though😙

[@elfwhere]

I just CAN'T get over how our baby Luigi and your white stairs creates a perfect contrast

[@dorathepoodle]

What an absolutely brilliant idea for a company - and an exquisite collaboration idea! congrats Lizzy you must be so proud xx

[@lisaanderson7433]

I’m so excited about the project and the notebook looks perfect. I really appreciate your thoughts on Christmas. It can be such a hard time for many and brings out a lot of sorrow for many. Thank you for addressing it with such grace.

[@Lolathebluesmartie]

OMG THE TRADITION BIT HIT DIFFERENT!! thank you so so much Lizzy! The forgoing of stupid and uncomfortable traditions is something I am also passionate about ❤️

[@Shauzia3]

didn’t fully realize how much i needed someone to say that christmas is what we make it. it’s always a hard time of year for me, since i’m not close with family. and it always feels like i need to get into the spirit of things even though my hearts not in it- really appreciated hearing this from you, thank you!

[@marionabustodemoner9753]

I'm gonna enjoy this 36 minutes of vlog with a hot coffee. so nice. Wish you the best Lizzy! Love from Barcelona

[@anotherbubble85]

One of my favourite things about Luigi is how whenever you talk to him you turn straight into sounding exactly like your mum

[@fannygoldbee7660]

I personally find Xmas is such a challenging time especially when it comes to grief and loss. I miss my brother even more as time goes on, as I always feel that it marks another year since I last saw him. It sort of highlights the loss. Think it’s really helpful of you to mention and explain how you feel. Thanks Lizzie it’s always good to know that there are others who find this time of year hard, it reminds me that me and my family are far from alone and there are many millions of others feeling similar emotions. Xx

[@carolinevoisine9827]

Thank you so much for your thoughts on the Holiday Spirit. I lost my father this year to cancer and your words mean a lot. Thank you

[@_giraffed]

LET'S NORMALISE NOT ENJOYING CHRISTMAS & NOT FEELING FESTIVE. Lizzy, I am so thankful for you speaking up about the dread of Christmas!!! I honestly have always felt so alone in my neutral mood about this holiday even a bit Grinch-y, especially since living in the UK. I feel like London (it's where I live so I can't speak about other places in the UK) overdoes it when it comes to this holiday and I find it so irritating, songs on repeat in every shop you walk into, wasteful and over the top decorations bombarding the high streets & businesses and ALL the trees being cut from nature, wrapped up in that horrible plastic and thrown away in a couple of weeks time... On that note I saw Waitrose sell potted ones you can then plant hehe. This time of the year has never been a happy one for me: with a mixture of seasonal depression, extreme societal pressure to ''care'' about Christmas, having to always work during this time when others are chilling at home/ going away, the family tensions, the pressure that we HAVE to be overspending & then living in misery for the whole of Jan is revolting honestly, the unsustainable element to it, the ''be happy, it's Christmas'' attitude UGH.

[@abbeydawes5786]

This is the only time I have seen someone sum up perfectly how I feel every Christmas... so thank you 🙏

[@_giraffed]

@@abbeydawes5786 you're not alone!! i'm so sad to see all the Christmas trees piling up on the pavements everywhere and i just can't help but wonder whyyyy? why do these people dump them like that? why don't they at least bother to dispose of them properly?

[@sovrappensiero1]

Popping in here to say thank you for the bit about the holidays. I lost my dad 6 years ago and my mom 2 years ago. My mom loved Christmas, and my dad loved my mom. It’s hard for me not to feel guilty for my apathy about the holidays. Looking forward to the book boxes; I think that would make a nice gift for my sister.

[@737700flygirl]

Thank you for this, Lizzy. Loved your comments about how not everyone likes Christmas and people should enjoy or not enjoy exactly as much or little of it as they want. Your collaboration is so cool and thoughtful and exactly the opposite of the breathless, crazy Xmas hype that's available in such abundance elsewhere at the moment. This particular vlog is one of my favourites on your channel, which is saying a lot. xo

[@milicakonculov1953]

Made the dish yesterday and presented it as Lizzy's vegetable bake for my partner. We loved it! Thank you for sharing!

[@evelientempelaere]

Thank you for your thoughts on the festive times, it's not a happy time for me either! Good to hear you share your outlook on it xxx

[@irenethompson4076]

Congratulations on the notebooks...simple yet elegant. I enjoy watching your vlogs till the end, I do not want to miss anything...lol. And Luigi is simply the cutest.❤

[@harleybiala]

Enjoyed the 36-minute video, Liz! And so happy for your notebook! Giving me a Muji vibe! 💚

[@blytheblack]

Hey Lizzy, as someone who has lost a couple of family members around Christmas time, I thoroughly appreciate your voice amongst all the others at this time.

[@oninagiri]

🖤 Loved this, Lizzie. And congratulations on the collaboration. That notebook is gorgeous.

[@laverneantonio32]

Always love a Lizzy Vlog, and 40mins! Just bliss. Thanks Lizzy, loved the red jumper on you. Very festive 😉

[@Antistylestyleclub]

I don't care how long these are ☺️ I love it when you are talking about to do list when I am doing chores around the house 🌸 Don't know what the psychology behind this is, but it works great! 💫

[@leeeeuwtje]

The cooking segment of this vlog was super relaxing, which is exactly what I need after all the stress of covid and Brexit...

[@VintageJaneAhlfeld]

I love how vocal Luigi is ❤️ I used to have full blown conversations with my 2 black cats 🤣 they were so annoyed with us when we would come home from work, it was like we were getting a telling off for being out so long! Congratulations on your collaboration, it sounds like a wonderful service. Red really suits you, you should definitely wear it more often. Xjx

[@misiaalbert8214]

If you take a tea bag (I've used chamomile, green and orange pekoe), soak it in hot but not boiling water, squeeze it out a bit and then place it on your eye it will help drain the stye before it even fully forms. Keep it on until it cools down, do it a few times a day until it goes away. There's an astringent property to the tea which helps to draw out the infection.

[@dace8828]

I recently managed to thrift 2 uniqlo sweatshirts in my size. Have not worn anything else at home since then 😁

[@melissamunro]

Something felt so fresh about this vlog, really thoroughly enjoyed!! Thank you for all your content, some of the most real and consistent out there👌🏻🙌🏻

[@alvarezandre]

There is something really pleasing about roasted veg with olive oil. I roast potatos, butternut squash, sweet potato and green beans, with ras el hanout, sambal AND LOTS OF GARLIC, and when there are 15 minutes left I add Lidl's falafels and it is DELICIOUS! I have to add, if you want to know if the milk has gone bad, boil it. If it splits...yes, throw it away.

[@lararizzle]

What you said about Christmas really touched me I completely feel the same as I work every Christmas especially this year I've found I'm just not in the mood for it and this made me feel more normal for not giving a shit about Christmas this year! Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️

[@DakotaLynne]

obsessed with that sweater!!

[@naomijoan2923]

Just what I needed this morning! Hope you’re keeping well Lizzy☺️

[@georgiabolton2543]

Would recommend a tree skirt for the bottom of the tree!! We got ours from John Lewis last year and it's completely changed it looking a bit drab at the bottom!! 💕

[@parisgala88]

I think the long vlogs are fine! enjoy putting them on while doing other bits of work

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Luigi’s saying “Mom, you are so beautiful, I love you”.

[@freyagallagher-jones632]

Bless you, i really feel for you eye wise! Eye conjestion wise - I am a bit prone too. I sometimes see an ayurvedic specialist, and since ive been using rosewater as a toner on their recommendation on my eyes after removing makeup (its antibacterial and great for wrinkle prevention!) ive had a lot less issues! Its the most sensitive and natural of products and a really mild scent (i also mega sensitive skin) and feels luxurious to just pour some refrigerated rose water onto a pad and compress on eyes for a second or two after makeup removal! My recommendation is Amphora Aromatics pure distilled rosewater. Xx

[@sarahshoxx]

@Lizzy Hadfield Hello from Seattle!! Luigi was meowing because you opened up the package of mince pies. Cats always think its a treat for them when they hear any package crinkeling. I don't blame you for feeling moody sometimes. I have been in & out of grumps lately. Just keep pushing? I am curious what you've been doing for work outs? "keep having fun!"

[@Ayesha-xf7oi]

It could be a meibomian cyst. I get mine every year during winter. My oils ducts in my eye clogs up (because of the cold) and causes a cyst. Use a warm compress to break down the oil and reduce the swelling. Hope that helps 💓

[@scorsesesgirl]

I used to get styes when I was stressed or low on a vitamin of some sort - make sure you're taking care of yourself!

[@saraharthur9034]

Lizzy your mince pie tasting is genius and I’ve embarked on my own judging this year. One competitor that could do with a mention is Morrisons bakery mince pies. They are currently sitting at the top spot in my rankings! 🥧

[@tashlacina6465]

Ayyye, Penfold's! They're just down the road for me in Adelaide! Congratulations on the collab, sounds like such a great gift idea xx

[@MuiCheee]

Love your style, but I may love how candid you are even more.

[@veritywade9573]

Luigi is so adorable, so vocal! Not sure it that was a poinsettia or not but they are toxic to cats just incase he's a plant nibbler! Note book is lovely, can't wait to see your book box when it's available x

[@shelleyp4990]

So excited about this project. A huge Congratulations Lizzie 🙂 Is it going to be available to ship to Australia?

[@clQss]

hello Lizzy, of course I watched till the end and I espescially enjoyed your conversations / the appearances Luigi made throughout the video

[@Agent99xo]

I've been making the sweet potato/mint salad and it's made it into my dinner roster! Have been adding crispy baked kale and mixing the sweet potato with a mayo/chipotle mix and it's sooo good!

[@AngelDivinity111]

I've been watching your vids for about 3 years now and it's just not Christmas without Testing Mince Pies lol

[@vbradley1922]

Obviously your eye has made full recovery now, but for future reference if this comes back, if you rub a solid gold ring on the area swollen it will relieve swelling incredibly fast! Also, Saline solution is 👌🏻 I get these semi-regularly

[@kayleighread8131]

Could it be your fringe causing your styes? I used to get them when I had a fringe and I would constantly touch my fringe to get it off my face and that puts germs on the fringe. Just an idea xx

[@carolinafaisca2819]

Hey Lizzy! Great vlog as usual. I know it can be hard getting some unsolicited advice on your eye situation, but as I was watching this with my gf, she said that she's had the same eye issues before, usually twice a year too, and in her case it was eczema-and she was very admin on instead of putting hot compress on, cold compresses! I know other people have commented that it could be a different issue, just thought you might want to consider that too if you haven't already! Hope you get well soon xx P.S.: you're the only youtuber my gf actually watches with me without getting bored to death haha

[@mllemelocoton8272]

My husband, “what’s Lizzy’s mince pie rating this year? I need to get some for Christmas!” 😱 my husband the I don’t follow anyone on YT

[@lolamaven3971]

Love the dark green. So chic.

[@janemackrell3733]

Re your eye infection, and I do sympathise with you, I often find that I have ‘sore bits appear’ when I am a bit run down (even if I am physically fit but maybe a bit mentally not up to par). It may be that you are just a bit anxious about Christmas

[@BridgetteAmofah]

i adore your home life! gonna check that cookbook out for sure x

[@SaraLeanne]

So excited for the Reposed Box, will definitely get one for myself!!

[@Cmar1988]

I am hoping I get to order your box! Tucson, AZ needs some Lizzy! :)

[@Lin-o4p7q]

I've had eye issues this year as well. I've also noticed that The Anna Edit has, and Allana Davidson (out of Canada has had as well). I wonder if it's stress related. It just seems so odd that I've been hearing that from so many bloggers this year.

[@eydisblondal4857]

Me, watching Lizzy's vlogmas year after year: I have no bloody idea what a mince pie is 👁👄👁

[@karent9887]

When you talk about mince pies it takes me back to your Manchester days rating the pies 🙂

[@mummystyle9104]

Loving the book gifting/subscription launch. Unfortunately the website is now very clear. How do we secure your gift box? Which of the subscription options contains yours? Seasonal? Sorry for the questions. Just love this idea for gifting to myself, haha x

[@silverflipflop4622]

Lovely vlog again, thank you x Thought that was the cats bowl you were eating your mince pie from🤣 I’m off to get the tesco ones today 👍

[@mathilde7871]

I heard that drinking wine cause the eye sore because there is a ingredient from the wine that might allergy you. Sorry about my english is not my first langauge.

[@rosemarinetextiles]

i am obsessed with sweet little luigi!!! what a freaking cutie!!! also i love your mince pie ratings every year so much :)

[@carolehooton8068]

I feel like you at Christmas, its gets worse with age!! Your tree is just right, lovely. I no longer have my parents or brother and i am sure lots of people have no close family left, so i book in a hotel in Cornwall, go for walks and coffees and see places i love to just get through until the New Year. No questions asked in a hotel and you come back when its all over. Father died Christmas Day, brother New Years Eve. Worst week of the year. You should try Marks and Spencer's Collection mini mince pies, bite size you would like them very much I am sure, beware, one is not enough though !!! lovely with a coffee !! xx

[@imogenbicknell5666]

Your eye problems could be triggered by dryness - dry eyes can happen with looking at screens too long, changes in weather or central heating coming on now we're in winter. I find I also get styes when I'm sleep deprived and stressed. All of these are triggers so I'd suggest lots of rest, drinking lots of water and potentially using eye drops every so often to keep your eyes lubricated. You're doing the right things with keeping them clean and wearing minimal make up. Perhaps keep a bottle of saline in the house and use this to wipe your eyes with a clean cotton pad if you feel them getting irritated. Look out for signs of infection - pain, discharge, redness, grittiness etc which could be blepharitis, conjunctivitis or peri-oribital/orbital cellulitis, in which case speak to your GP asap. Hope they resolve soon, (advice from a junior doctor)

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

I get that on my eye too sometimes. For me it's eczema. Have to use tacromilus ointment on it.

[@Beccap1502]

Have you tried the Greggs mince pies!? My personal fave - short sugary pastry yum...

[@rosieroxygirl]

You HAVE to try konditor mince pies, they are based in spitalfields market. Best mince pies I've ever had!

[@AnnasStyleDictionary]

Loved the video! Thank you for providing such uplifting content in difficult times like these! Sending lots of love from a small KZbinr ❤️❤️

[@sverreeikerberg1355]

Argh, my favorite time of the week, a new vlog ihhh

[@mikuahmed-walsh3864]

Hey Lizzy, as always really enjoy your vlogs! Regarding the stye, I thought it was only me...but I’ve had a stye twice this year in the space of 3 months apart, both in different eyes and I have NEVER had a stye before! I do think it is COVID stress related. Once COVID fucks off maybe our bodies can start to settle and recover 😆

[@jinayadixon8022]

Lizzy, look into Blepharitis - I’m super prone to it as is my brother. I believe it’s caused by an infected eyelash follicle however isn’t necessarily linked to makeup wearing :)

[@jinayadixon8022]

Also, a 40 min Lizzy vlog is 👌

[@GeorginaTirado]

I would love to gift it to myself😍 sorry, I didn't understand if you said when it would be available!!

[@lapassionlamode]

Random question, but where is your olive oil bottle from? It's absolutely beautiful and seems very practical as well. Lovely video xx

[@camlg3579]

Hi Lizzy ! Just to say I really enjoy your vlogs ☺️ love from Paris xxx

[@ohthechitchat]

Sainsburys bakery mince pies are a staple in my home. I have never found better no matter the budget.

[@lisawilson9191]

The recipe is really not my style but I LOVE watching you cook!!

[@lisawilson9191]

Oh also, sometimes if you get a cat hair in your eye, that kind of thing can happen, other than cleaning makeup brushes, pillow cases etc, maybe try keep luigi off the pillows you sleep with ❤️

[@daisyspeed8822]

Hi Lizzy, loving your vlog as always! Your eye sounds like a chalazion to me (not sure on spelling sorry!) - I had the same thing last year. The doctor told me to put really hot water (as hot as you can handle) onto a cotton pad and press it onto your eye, and rub it around quite firmly onto the chalazion. Do it for about 20 seconds twice a day. They also prescribed me some antibiotic eye gel thing which helped. Hope it feels better soon. (sorry if you've already said this, I haven't finished watching yet but thought I'd comment!) X

[@daisyspeed8822]

Sorry I've just heard you say about the hot compresses haha

[@bananafreak425]

I used to get stys (not sure how to spell it lol) quite often and I looked up how to prevent them and google said to wash your eyelids with baby shampoo so bacteria doesn’t build up. I haven’t had one since so maybe that would help?

[@patriciaf4783]

Bravo Lizzie 👏. 😍 💐 💖 Love Luigi so much 😻💕

[@northoftheequator2094]

Design questions for notebook. What type of paper? What kind of ink can you use on it? Is there ghosting? How many pages? Does it lay flat when you write in it?

[@katherinel4711]

Excited to see what this announcement is. Eager much?

[@frecklesforties]

I absolutely love your vlogs....I aspire to vlog like you but I'm sadly lacking! I really enjoy the relaxed but informative but not sell sell sell real life ness. Perfection xx thank you x

[@rhulballroomandlatin]

Love your necklace, where is it from?

[@abbeydawes5786]

Mejuri x

[@sadielo98]

Hi Lizzy, Recently I was dealing with a bad case of eczema. It’s not vain to be down about your body not being the way it usually is. I hope sometime in the future you manage to figure out what causes it.

[@sadielo98]

Absolutely beautiful notebook!

[@carolyncopeland8408]

Dont bother getting the boxed minced pies from sainos...not a patch on the bakery ones xx

[@cuirka]

sending love, Lizzy!

[@redjaguarkrt772]

Hello, you are so lovely with your blue cardigan, sincere congratulations 💗

[@aaanti]

i got a stye from using an eyelash curler. maybe your eyes also don't like it. also don't use mascara for a while maybe. i had 2 styes in a row as well and now rarely use any mascara and it helped. (also i never used the bloody eyelash curler).

[@nimagreen4061]

Hey Lizzy. Where is your necklace from, and what is it called? The one you're wearing at 32'50 with that amazing red jumper.

[@pbandjjr]

Lizzy, next time you are in Japan, pick up eye drops for stye. They are so(!!) effective and available in drug stores anywhere. I used to get swollen eyes from stye ("monomorai"-stye in Japanese) here and there. Not any more since I was introduced to those eye drops. I always pick one up everytime I go back to Japan.

[@Ania_In_UA]

BTW that Christmas star plant or whatever it's commonly known as is from Euphorbia family which is toxic to cats. But my cats only nibble on plants with long thin leaves, maybe Luigi is the same and will ignore it.

[@melodiegibson8352]

Lizzy, from what I can tell that plant is a poinsettia plant -- they are TOXIC to cats. Please keep Luigi away from it if possible. Wouldn't want him to get sick... :(

[@sarah_hedges_creates]

Look forward to your mince pie rating every year x

[@allisonprediger2469]

Pointsettas are DEADLY to kitty cats. It seems like that may be what you have gotten from the shops. XX

[@Uncovertheuntold]

Have you tried the Tesco Finest Crumble Topped Mince Pies?

[@maureenwhelan83]

Is it only available in the UK?

[@mariaowen3265]

Love every video! Thank you xx

[@vanesssalll]

Love the cooking content!

Can we order it from outside the UK? :-D
