Thank you so much for this info. Lala looks amazing, not has old as me, I am 79 this year so I need all the help I can get. xx

Can’t find the link to the hair salon in Stratford?

Darling Josie - can you also tell us where Lala got her white shirt from please? xx

[@djshockafrica4330]

We have missed Lala, it's always lovely to see her!

[@beatathakur2292]

Watching you chatting with your Mum was pure joy.

[@mhtammi]

My husband and I have been married for 31 years, and the kids have been grown and gone for five years now so that every time I pack for a trip for the two of us I feel like I’m packing for a honeymoon. 😊

[@verity.robinson2122]

I love this I have three littles ones under 4 and my loving partner said his high light is walking through the door to kids screaming me all excited to see him and our pets excited to see him. It’s been 8 years I fell in love with him minute I met him and he fell in love with me the moment he saw me we moved into my house the following day after meeting and never had a night apart goals in 31 years on we feel the same as th day we moved in

[@alisonsneed3707]

Just so romantic.

[@--M--1111]

That is so sad. Kids should understand that mom and dad need their time alone. My husband and I favor the kink love time we have a special room. Our kids know it is off limits hence the lock and they leave us alone every sunday and wednesday evening. We adopted also as the world is filled with sadness and broken children already. No need to procreate for more.

[@katie8325]

@@--M--1111good for you. Not sure why you think other people’s legitimate life choices are sad.

[@--M--1111]

Because I unlike some care about the welfare of orphans and find it selfish to procreate in a world that is ending with irrepearable damage​@@katie8325

This is an amazing conversation with your mom!! How much wisdom, kindness and beauty she brings. Thank you! I will remember this conversation and will review it.

[@LisaRanae79]

Lala is such a lovely, warm and charming lady! It's always a delight to see her.

[@HK-cp8tm]

LL is gorgeous! Her outfit, her demeanor, she seems fabulous.

[@hellogoodbye4989]

I see so many qualtities of your mum in you, she's such a lovely, gentle and warm lady. What a mum to have, she truly raised you with class and grace. Would love to hear and see LL more in the future! She's a joy to watch! Big hugs

[@lydiathornton5323]

Your Mum is truly delightful! So glad she was willing to share her beauty tips!! Hope you had an AMAZING honeymoon!!! ❤

[@bengtsson0019]

Your Mum is absolutely amazing and such a beautiful soul. I shed a tear when you both spoke about your late father, and how it took me back to almost 3 years ago losing my father. Your mum is full of heartfelt wisdom, and such truth in the words she speaks. Please bring her onto more of your vlogs, she has such wisdom and just seems adorable 🥰

[@melissatran338]

You and Charlie should write a book-- A Dreamy Life in the Cotswold :) --featuring your gardens, growing tips, smoothie recipes, and Charlie's cookings (using some of the veggies from your garden). Something to accomplish before cute Little Josie/Charlie arrives LOL. TY so much for all the good tips re: skin cares, healthy lifestyle and foods.

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Your mother is LOVELY! Lucky you.

[@jillsbills9346]

I love your Mum Josie. Treasure her always. I lost my Mum 15 months ago, she was wonderful x

[@Susan-se6gq]

Layla I used coconut oil too, burnt myself to a crisp and disco danced under the strobe lights making us look extra tanned, whit teeth and super clean. Times have changed from the seventies,thank goodness for that.

[@amandabegg4930]

We survived 😊

[@vitalityseeker6193]

Lala is a treasure. It’s lovely to see you two together. She is elegant, yet so warm and welcoming. I wish you’d do more vlogs together. ❤❤

[@Nicky-Mc]

Josie - it’s so lovely to see LL! What a beautiful, wonderful elegant lady she is. She seems such a kind and lovely person and her wisdom and outlook on life is just fabulous. Her skin is also just stunning - please let’s see her more in 2024!! ❤

[@adrianaalvarez-perez4986]

Your mom is beautiful inside and out! I didn’t know about living in Spain. When I heard you speaking in Spanish, I almost did a hard break in my car! Both are lovely together ❤❤

[@kv7654]

I hope Allies of Skin sends your mum a full large box - year supply of her fav products. She’s lovely.

[@deborahclavette879]

I love the scope and variety of your content, but I think that the real conversations with your mum (like this one) and also with Charlie add a richness and authenticity. Thank you!

[@IvonneDeLeon-xq6dr]

Love to see you and your mother… lost mine 19 yrs ago how much would I give for moments like the ones you share with us…. Thank you Josie! ❤

[@debbytownsend2907]

Wow what a treat for an vlog that’s well over an hour . You’re mum is such a sweetie , we have the same dress sense , it would be so lovely to see more of your mum on your vlogs. Happy honeymoon to you both x

[@kathlinamacleod4794]

So wonderful Josie , to see yourself and your gorgeous Mother chatting. Your Mother looks in her 40's. She reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, very graceful. 🌸🩷🌸

[@ginarosanova]

LL is so delightful. Love seeing her on your channel. Hope you had a fabulous honeymoon!

[@Helenemonblogdefille]

This moment with your mum was really lovely, thank you for that Josie ! I hope you’re having the most beautiful honeymoon !

[@KariTSays]

Just love your mom!!! she’s beautiful inside and out and I see so much of you in her!! You both do the same facial expressions, especially with your lower lips and chin and it’s so darling

[@beverleyroberts1025]

Your Mum is a lovely lady, and so are you Josie. Happy Honeymoon, can't wait to see the next vlog! 🏝 x ☀️🍹

[@chrisgriffiths3629]

lovely relationship seen here with your mum , I know what you mean about loosing your dad and other things people complain about dont matter , I lost my mum , dad and brother within a few years and felt like an orphan !! then I got my ultimate gift ... a granddaughter she is 10 months and such a joy and of course my own son and daughter , family is everything and good friends xxx

[@mfes14]

Loved the chat with your mum I love seeing you both together it brings me joy … I was diagnosed with Breast cancer 2022 at 54 years old and I am the same as you both I don’t sweat the small stuff and only do things that bring me happiness like watching your vlogs Josie 💕💕

[@carolynford9869]

Oh, how I loved this Vlog. So good to see you and LaLa. I love the relationship you and Charlie have with her. Warms my heart. I look forward toball 3 uploads a week on this channel. Thank you for brightening up my world. I watch on my TV and it's so good KZbin has provided the thumbs up option for us TV Viewers. I am a Premium Member and have been for several years.❤

[@AnekaF.1863]

Your mum is absolutely delightful Josie, thanks for sharing her with us. 💕

[@virginiahutchinson7974]

Loved the chat with your mum, and how you are doing your best to convince her not to save her serums, etc, for holidays, etc!

[@debraguerra-perez4146]

I loved seeing Lala, and hearing about the products she uses, and getting to know more about her. Hopefully we'll see her more often. Charlie reminds me of my son. A little fussy, but a good, loving man. 😊

[@kimberlysantos4085]

Thank you for this lovely visit with LaLa she is so elegant ❤also Josie ! Omg Charlie seating LaLa what a gentleman. A beautiful family!

[@L_aurore]

Lala is absolutely stunning! She’s so regal and sophisticated. Beautiful to see yours and hers relationship ❤❤❤

[@belindaschatz5316]

Josie, your gorgeous mom LL is an absolute doll. I had the same relationship with my mother as well. She passed over 20 years ago and she visits me in my dreams at least 3 times a week. I was just telling my husband this morning of my latest dream asking her if she was ready for another grandchild. Hugs to you and your beautiful mom ❤

[@katiethriveshine]

LL is such a delight! ...and coconut oil is anywhere between factor 4-10, I actually mix coconut oil with carrot seed oil and raspberry seed oil for some natural (light) sun protection, so LL's coconut oil sun loving days weren't all bad. Coconut oil is rich in antioxidants that protects against oxidative damage. She looks amazing!! Loved the vlog, and love Allies of Skin too

[@angiedooley4030]

I adore your mom. The two of you have the loveliest chemistry. 💗

[@angelamoreno5914]

My goodness, how beautiful is your lala! ❤What a wonderful person, lady, mother and all around a lovely woman to have in your life Josie! Please include her more often.

[@OllieandMay]

Loved the chat with your Mum. It was lovely of Her to share her skin routine with us . I was a SkinCare Consultant many years ago and your mum is absolutely correct, your skin can only take in so much serums and creams, using one pump of serum is all you need any more and you are just wasting the serum and your money. ❤

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

Loved this video with your mom. She’s so lovely and uplifting. So enjoyed your reminiscing and sweet interaction between both of you. Hope your honeymoon/vacation is or was the best ever.

[@micaharriett324]

The Q&A with your mum was just pure joy. Xxx

[@jilljackson340]

just ordered this ! Wonderful session as usual. love seeing you and your mum, so inspiring, and just love her

[@dsmith9796]

It was a delight to see your mother - she is such a lovely lady and it's clear that you both have a strong bond and much love. I know you and Charlie are in your happy place during these cold days of January - may you have a wonderful time on your honeymoon.

[@jackieleipert1950]

You are delightful and your personality is refreshing. Love your purchases, so cute on you.

[@clairehawkes1112]

Me! I’m going on holiday next week. Not far from where you are. I’ve been poorly and am recuperating from an operation and cannot wait ❤ Hope you are having a truly magical honeymoon Josie x

[@amandinekraft570]

Hi dear Josie Your mama is so nice, sweet and so chic ! Your are both so right about been joyful and take mesure of the life ( I’m French I dont find my word ) I lost my mum 2 years ago and I’m so like you. Sometime when I hear people I’m like …. It’s not a real problem dear, life is so precious and short… ! Thankfully I’m very close with my dad and my sister. Grief gives you so much réflexion on everything. I wish you a wonderful honeymoon ! Love Amandine

[@yiotamintzas801]

Hi Josie , we absolutely and totally enjoyed your , video. Your mum is a lovely person, and we need to see more of her . Have a lovely honeymoon and we look forward for seeing more . Xx

[@dellareeves473]

Lovely swimming costumes lovely too see your mum and you chatting about skincare and other chats x

[@helenstella2666]

What a gorgeous lady Lala is, I hope we can see more of her this year Josie ☺️ Your honeymoon posts look breathtaking .. sunshine & crystal clear water .. stunning 🏝️🥰

[@teresahalliday3680]

Your mum is so beautiful and charming! Her skin care routine has amazing results! I am in her age range and I remember my older sister putting on baby oil and iodine mixture (the US equivalent to coconut oil?)and lying in the sun with a reflection sheet for her face. I never liked the sun, so avoid it at all costs! But that was the done thing then! Hope you are enjoying your long-awaited honeymoon!

[@diannelowrance205]

Amazing results on your Mom’s complexion . I’m 72 and don’t have wrinkles. My family tended to have many wrinkles. I think spf and taking care of my complexion made the difference.

[@charovazquez2452]

Enjoy your honeymoon as much as you can!!! And relax and do not think about work at all. Hugs from northern Spain once more!!!

[@L_aurore]

Everything about that haul was stunning! Absolutely loved the green dress 💚 and the swimwear. All of it was beautiful 😍

[@colinbutterfield3839]

Your mum is lovely I did the same when I was young putting olive oil on my skin then I went to work for Elizabeth Arden for over 20 years so all is well now with my skin ❤❤

[@CazD60]

The white mini beach dress looks absolutely amazing. You should really take it on your holiday!

[@patw6158]

Josie I loved the vlog but especially the segment with ur mom. I lost my 98 yr. young mom last year around Christmas and miss her every day. I think ur mom is a lovely lady and so agree that manners never go out of style. Lol.

[@dianahutsel7101]

We used to wear baby oil mixed with proviodine to tan. We also agmented that with aluminum shilds to strengthen the sun's rays. But did we ever look good!

[@lindahayden9202]

Loved the questions and answers time with your Mom, Josie-such fun and love. 💞

[@judyannkiwi]

Happy for you and Charlie enjoying the same place you discovered on another. Two wonderful creative smart people you both deserve a romantic honeymoon. Best wishes.

[@franceskloos1297]

Your Mum is such a delight, I am so glad she agreed to share her beauty tips with us. Have an amazing honeymoon❤️❤️

[@JoR00ke]

Josie, I remember you saying something about you didn't live with your mum until you were in your 20's but it might have been you said you didn't live with her for 20 years as during your chat you mentioned that your mum lived in Spain for 20 years so that would make sense! If so it's lovely to see how close you are with your mum now, you're lucky to have her living 'with' you especially as she ages, time goes too fast. Hope you're having a great time abroad.

[@michellemccormack5415]

I loved that vlog with your mum and her skincare routine not surprised got many views hope there's plenty more in the future love your mum she looks like she's got wicked sense of humour .

[@marymusard9372]

Your mother is great 😊

[@nancyjoanne1535]

I enjoy hearing from LaLa, she looks amazing. Her skin has inspired me to try Allies of skin. Happy Honeymoon.

[@deloiscallaway9442]

This Video Was Everything Thanks For Taking Us Along Josie your Mom is sooo Sweet and Beautiful I really enjoyed her words of wisdom today

[@susanvanduyn2811]

Oh Josie i so wanted this video with your mom but it far exceeded my hopes. Really enjoyed the openness and how relaxed she was!! What a natural in front of the camera. (BTW Your setup and lighting was perfect)

[@jennifer6833]

LL is my favorite part of todays vlog. 🤍🤍

[@yasemer]

Thank you to Lala! I did not realize that skin should be damp before applying vitamin C serum!

[@barborakudibalova]

What a lovely video! Especially tha part with your mum. And yes, please do a full QandA video with her, that would just be so lovely.

[@maxinemewis4300]

[@lorrainewells3844]

Wow. Such an amazing video and I love the clothes you are keeping for your honeymoon. What a delight to see your mum taking the time to chat about her skin care. I felt very emotional at times watching you both together as there is such a special bond between you Actually reminds me of the bond I shard with my mother who sadly is no longer with us. Thank you for sharing this very special video and all the great informative information about skincare and healthy eating. ❤

[@irenethompson4076]

Your video has reached another level Josie..if that's even possible. 🤭 The Q&A with your mom was wonderful. Thank you for all the insight! ❤

I finally took the plunge on the Allies of Skin...you're mother is sooo convincing🥰

[@clairehawkes1112]

Trust me, drs still smoke, high percentages in hospitals in particular. Sad times. Also, so agree with your answer about positivity. My dad died when I was 9 and it has made me value life too ❤

[@sydneykasmar]

Enjoyed you holiday prep and seeing your arrival in ge Maldives. Such a beautiful honeymoon spot. And I enjoyed the q&a with your Mum. It was fun to learn about your friendship as mother daughter.

[@beckyorton8312]

That clothing order came to over £11,000 for a beach holiday ,how could any normal person afford that ? .

[@newfoundland3030]

I adore LaLa! What a wonderful chat! I was incredibly close with my mum and miss her; I am also very close to my daughter and son, who are your age. I love it when your mum is on. Would love to know what her hobbies are. I was raised with respect, good manners, and kindness, which I instilled in my children. Poor Charlie, opening a door for anyone is a sign of respect and compassion; for a woman to say she can do that for herself, of course, we all can, but how sad she had to mention it. Would love to see more of LaLa in your vlogs; such an elegant lady! I wonder if any of your other viewers feel this way: with all of the products out there, I need clarification as to which products, serums, oils, creams, mists, etc, to use daily on mature skin. Is it vitamin C in the morning and Retinol at night? Which serums do you put in between? Caroline Hirons says you spend your money on serums but don't have to go all out in moisturizers. She also says the number one anti-aging product you can use is daily SPF. I love a tinted SPF. I would love for you to take LaLa to one of your seminars or brand "away" trips to see them analyze older skin. You know your market and marketing; women and men have more buying power in our 40s-50s and above; perhaps you could include more of LaLa's journey. I adore your aesthetic, Charlie, too. I am always interested in Charlie's skincare or clothing choices as I love to buy my son good quality items for his closet; it could be the Josie family vlog...LOL. What a ramble!! Have a relaxing and recharging honeymoon; you deserve it!

[@SharonBishop-Reynolds]

Hoping your having the best time on your honeymoon x Loved the chat with mum x

[@FayeCNL]

Shout out for Bondi sands Ultra dark mousse 👌🏼. Have a wonderful time both of you 💓💓

[@7ofthem]

I asked this before and I would like to know .. if you’re trying new skincare often because it’s sent to you , how do you know what works and what doesn’t consistently ? What do you use most ?

[@JosieIrons]

I actually try only about 10% of what’s sent to me, because I try things for around 40 days before making any recommendations so don’t have time to try it all! ❤

[@7ofthem]

@@JosieIrons if you like something ,are you not tempted to keep using it though , because starting something new again even after 40 days could then affect your skin for good or bad and you then you don’t know what product did the good or damage. 😊

[@Missmoon24]

​@@7ofthem Some influencers limit who can send PR packages to them - that would be much less wasteful. Stick with brands that you know work well

[@7ofthem]

@@Missmoon24 the clothes I get , but surely nobody can accurately review skin care by chopping and changing

[@Missmoon24]

@7ofthem I agree. Plus everyone's skin is different - just because one person likes it, the next person may not. We all have different budgets too, I certainly can't afford Clea de Peau, Elemis, Chantecaille, Caudelie etc.

[@PaulaShoaf]

Greetings from Indiana ...Have a wonderful honeymoon, looks wonderful !! your mom is so charming.... my daughter and I share a special relationship too, it truly is a blessing!! be safe ! hugs from Paula

I love the fact that you are including a Colombian brand on your videos. Agua Bendita is a great brand . The appliqués are handmade by artisan women . I am going to Colombia to visit my family in less than a month . Will be picking some pieces from the brand .
