Q&A: ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS FROM YOUTUBE! | Lily Pebbles

[@Mikidoormat]

I think fleur has made the perfect transition on KZbin with parenthood,there def is a good balance to be had of what to share.

[@sarahbee27]

I think with having kids and you tube, Fleur seems to be really good at this. You see the odd peak now and then but she manages to talk about everything she used too with the extra baby video. Xx

[@natatatt]

She does get some comments from viewers who are irritated that they don't see her daughter, but I really think those people need to examine why they feel they have the right to see a baby/child who cannot consent to being filmed and viewed by millions of people.

[@parnz187]

Those comments to me sort of reiterate her reasoning. Fleur has found a fab balance I think.

[@lucygeddes8409]

loved this relaxed chat Lily, you're more honest and open than others online and its so refreshing and why I have always loved your content!! looking forward to the next renovation video :)

[@tessac775]

This video felt like having coffee with a friend! I really admire the way you own your values and outlook on life, even when they aren't in line with the typical super-sweet internet persona that we tend to expect from female content creators. You're an intelligent badass and I love it!

[@weshasawi]

“I just want a peaceful life, so I tend to not over share my opinions and stuff” my motto in a nutshell!

[@mcriche]

Lily, sometimes it hurts my heart to see all the unnecessary and contrived hate you get. You are someone for me who has been a friend, albeit digitally, in the times when I desperately needed it. In my darkest of times, and they have gotten quite dark, I go to you as a source of content that can alter my mood and outlook for the better. Long and short of it all, when you get these hateful and spiteful comments trying to tear you down, I desperately implore you to be reminded that you've helped me in a way I couldn't have possibly imagined, and I know you've done this for others too. And truly, at the end of the day, that is enough.

[@julest.shadow6817]

i’m not typically one for q & a’s, but yours is so refreshingly honest and open. i like how chill you are and how real you seem- not everything is ‘amazing!’ and perfect.

[@SandKitchen]

I agree with whoever said that you've got that IDGAF attitude lately -- I don't think that it's because you've shown you don't care, I think it's the opposite. You've shown that you are aware even of negativity/comments, do care, but will still stand your ground and put out the content you want. I've been following you for years (I don't want to count, lol, it's just going to shock me I'm sure) and don't comment the vast majority of the time (even though as a content creator myself I know it makes a difference) but: you're doing amazing from this end, and I always love seeing your videos.

[@0liviaaa29]

Thank you for being so honest! That’s why we love you. Really understood your answer to the body confidence questions. Accepting your insecurities and not letting them consume you is so amazing to hear. X

[@simplycynth5.0]

Always enjoy your Sunday morning videos. Love the Q & As. I appreciate how well you seem to balance realness/transparency without oversharing every single detail of your life in a TMI kind of way. You're very down to earth. Keep it up!

[@alittlebitheather6050]

Loved the video lily, very insightful! As a counsellor I love what you said about mental health, it’s so important to find what works for you and sometimes just talking to someone you don’t know for a few hours makes such a difference in how you feel 💞

[@judyhazeldene5724]

Loved how relaxed and honest you were in this video. It feels so nice to get to know more about your thoughts and lifestyle. Hope you are having a lovely weekend, Lily x

[@karolekyradi6250]

Thoroughly enjoyed that 19 mins of realness ! Thank you for your videos Lily.

[@annamarkley4758]

I really feel like I’m sitting down with a friend whenever I watch you or Anna on youtube - I’ve been watching for years and have always loved both of you. Thank you for always making such thoughtful, genuine, non-clickbait-y content that is a real pleasure to watch 😊 xxxx

[@lizfawcett2525]

Always love a Q&A Lily, your vlogs are still my favourite out of any you tuber but I appreciate you don't want to share as much these days. I totally get that, as I've pulled back from social media, I left fb a few years back and only occasionally post on Instagram. I just don't like sharing everything. Also I'm glad you are honest and real and don't try to portray a perfect life, so don't ever change that about you!! That's one of the reasons I prefer watching you than other you tubers, you are so relatable x

[@mollysteckler7113]

Loves this video! I’ve always loved how honest you are with your videos and online presence. It seems like a lot of people only consider honesty to be 110% transparency, but you don’t owe that to us. You are honest with what you do share, and I love and respect that so much about you. Thank you for making my day with this video!

[@luuucccaaay]

Therapy is incredible. Last year I did therapy nearly every week and it was amazing, I got to know myself so well and I now am so aware of all the signs that indicate I’m not feeling great, and I have all the tools to help!

[@KathiwithaK]

Can I just say, I love how thoughtful and caring the questions you get from your audience are. I think it really reflects on you as a content creator and the community you built over time. Lots of love x

[@aries1867]

This is one of my favourite videos on your channel. Your confidence in yourself and in your strengths is evident. Love what you said about enjoying life instead of obsessing over taking perfect pictures.

[@shaiedwards9927]

You are so unapologetically your self and that is so inspiring, even if you have some insecurities (who doesn't) and i live it.

[@Sophab27]

You are honestly a breath of fresh air on social media!!! Totally real and down to earth.

[@victoriak4745]

People are funny moaning at us for moaning about the heat... don't think they realise that we don't really have air con and our buildings are designed to stay warm. It's been bloody roasting! Not complaining though I've loved every day.

[@halfpastfashion5474]

Just really love your authenticity, so refreshing to having record outdoors.

[@Mettestraa]

Lovely video, Lily! Super interesting questions and great answers. Regarding kids, I actually think Fleur is handling having a baby super well with how much we know and see. It seems like she found a great balance :)

[@nisa360]

I started watching you when I was like 19 and I felt like your content wasn’t targeted to me but there’s something about you made me continue to watch. It’s your sincereness(?) idk if thats a real word lol. I feel like you are the most genuine and real person I’ve ever watched on youtube. I can relate to you so much even tho our lifes are completely different. I just love you! You are amazing!!

[@margaritacantero7768]

"I don't go around saying "Oh my God I'm so grateful for life!"" That really got me laughing because I think your humour and sarcasm has been one of the reasons you've become one of my favorites around here. I think you talk about life as real as it comes and sometimes too much positivity comes across in a way it's not real anymore? Something like that.

[@mariamahmed6409]

I couldn’t believe the video ended so soon. Lily you are my absolute favorite and I loved this chit chat and refreshing Q&A. Your out look whether it be similar or different to mine is just so beautiful to see, you’re amazing and I love how honest you are. Please do more, I learn so much from you, this felt like I was having coffee with a friend.

[@ellenanderson1159]

😂 I’ve lived in Australia my whole life and NEVER gone surfing after school - you’re not missing out! The grass is always greener, a huge chunk of the people I went to school with have left Australia to live in London!

[@EmilyForan]

I watch but don't usually comment but really loved this Q&A mostly because you were so honest which is ironic really because I also wanted to say I appreciate you feeling you have to hold part of yourself back and don't always tweet or post because of the negative reaction. I am a family blogger and although nowhere near your level of following am quite concerned how much recently people seem to think they need to share ALL of themselves, it makes me feel I'm falling behind because I'm not willing to 'sell out' my entire family and feelings. I think there's a certain class in not saying offensive things or jumping on every bandwagon which is a part of why I love watching you (and Anna). I believe both of you will manage to incorporate this into your family lives when children come along.

[@jessfernando6575]

Absolutely loved the chilled vibe of this!

[@YummyInspirations]

I've been blogging/filming for about 8 years, from when my kids were toddlers to now being 8 and 10. I'm not a family blogger/vlogger but I have a family, so sometimes they will just be in the background, but the focus of my channel is me and food - not about them. I'd say just don't stress about it - see what happens when the time comes and do what you feel comfortable with.

[@Rayleneg1]

You are such a breath of fresh air, not curated. You are doing a great job of balancing your job

[@clarewilde6320]

Aha I love that your sarcastic and very British, it what I find makes you more relatable and is why I love your videos! As someone who is 20 you inspire me in your self confidence and I like that you say your having a bad day or whatever as it humanises you xx

[@kellyfeng9642]

Your comments regarding photo and live the moment really gets me. It is so hard to find the balance. But I really hate when everyone in concerts or going out constantly on their phone. The photos is lying how much fun they are having when in reality, they are taking 500 of them and not engaged in the activities that they should.

[@kellyfeng9642]

Excuse my English, when I say it gets me. I mean I totally agree. Lol

[@MeganJonesJones]

Have you posted the playlist from your wedding? I know it's probably incredibly personal, but I'd love some ideas! We are getting married in two weeks and doing a playlist for dinner until the band starts and it's harder to put together than I thought it would be (especially with such a varied crowd).

[@sarahgill1336]

Love your vlogs. You are very relatable and honest and I like to think of you (not in a creepy way) as the daughter I never had. (I'm 60 and have no kids just to clarify)

[@OhGollyItsLucy]

I love these sit down videos! So excited to watch 😊 x

[@hilde89gv]

Love your videos just as much now as I did 4 years ago. I remember you used to apologize a lot if you where complaining about stuff. And in the past year or so you have stopped apologizing for you being yourself. One if the many things which is great about KZbin is seeing other cultures and other lifestyles. I feel like the world is literally on my doorstep (or more like on my screen actually). Like I always say, keep up the great work you do. And good luck with the rest of the renovation ♡

[@ntisverve4722]

Not everyone understand Brit-speak. Peaceful life and not over-sharing is self care! You have a really good perspective.

[@krentu]

For me, as a viewer, it is important that the life that I see in YT or IG is as real as possible. Meaning that what is the point of doing "what I wore this week" when someone puts the outfits on only to make the photo and she never actually goes anywhere with this? Or as you said, someone goes to somewhere only to make photos there :))) Thank you for offering us the real bits of your life. I actually like when you sometimes vlog when you do "nothing" or when you are not in your best mood. It is so relatable and that is something I always seek for :) PS. I am coming to London tomorrow!!! For the first time! I probably cannot sleep tonight. OK. I have to go ironing and packng now :)

[@amyiahen]

👍great video lily! I have to say you are one of the few you tubers I feel like I know and always want to watch every video because you do keep it real and don't pretend everything is perfect. Also absolutely LOVING the house renovation blogs, so interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@lilianafrancob]

Love love love this kind of chatty videos!

[@emmastanfield1638]

‘Firstly...it’s paint, you can’t brush it off’ 😂 I’ve been living in Canada and miss the English/London sarcasm. You’re doing great love your content 💕

[@SnowCedarQueen]

This was really refreshing and chill, love the garden bg! It's nice to see you have figured out a balance of what you want to share, and that you continually research what the content vibe is. I have to admit, I watch more vlogs, the occasional monthly favourites, and podcasts these days. (People, please link me up with any *cool podcast* ) Tbh, I've always followed your videos because you're not so hyper and extra, you're more natural. I always watch your videos, hit like and sit through any ads, just don't always comment. Sarcasm and realism FTW! #IDGAF

[@sophiaM682]

Loved this Q/A, so refreshing!

[@Janet2684]

Loved this style of video. Excellent questions and thoughtful responses!

[@syyodd39]

My Dad Wrote a Porno is the best podcast ever- doesn’t matter what mood you’re in, it’ll put a smile on your face!!

[@emeline_4]

syyodd39 Yes! I can't wait for season 4 😄

[@JoannaM]

Hi Lily! I really enjoyed this video. I am glad that you feel more confident work/socialmediawise. You don't have to share everything all the time. X

[@rachelcrocombe7252]

You’re just so fab Lily! Your content has been on point recently - so open, natural and honest! Thank you 🙂

[@Zandeerline]

Loved this video Lily!! Thank you for creating such honest, beautiful content :)

[@rchan9]

Totally agree with English being sarcastic... can't make a sarcastic joke without explaining the true meaning behind it... kills all the joy in life.

[@jaykay5541]

London... I hear you! I moved to Southern California for 10 years, then Miami, then New York from London, all wonderful places, but I missed my family in the U.K. once I had kids. London is the best place in the world for me. The tiny houses and crazy expense are with the short journey for time with grandma and the after work chats with no time difference! There’s no place like home!

[@ivanpoldrugac3510]

Please please do more of this kinda videos...its relly make me feel like i was sitting in that garden and talk to you face to face 😊😊😊 P.s. also i agree with you when you said that the people are too sensitive online and that you need to look at every singe word that you saying/posting and thats a total bumer... Lots of love form Croatia xx

[@evahalkova2859]

Lily, I must say I get you 100%. I share most your opinions and views and I am grateful for being able to watch you on youtube. Also I like your sense of humour so keep that... ;-) Love you!

[@Chanit24]

People can be very sensitive and one of the downsides of written words is you can't always tell the tone of voice something is said in. The fact that people can be sensitive should be enough to make someone stop and think before they DM you or complain about something you've done. The messages they send could be interpreted in a negative, upsetting way too. I've learnt that you have to be so careful with what you say and if it's going to detract from the conversation or the person it's better not to say it. Like other people have mentioned your honesty and transparency really does show through - keep being you! xx

[@yasmindubash9741]

Really great honest content. Thanks for mentioning therapy - it's helped me when needed and I think it's important for people to seek it out when they need to! Can't wait for the renovation video.

[@mariaarmada3575]

Loved the chilled set up and vibe 😊

[@locococobean2412]

Love this video and cannot wait to see the renovation progress next week! We're starting a small kitchen Reno in two weeks, so your videos have been making me excited for it to be here and done ;). Nothing better than making your interior dreams a reality 🤗 Also, I love how real and unapologetic you are on your platforms! Don't worry about the sensitive haters, us real people love it and find it so refreshing and relatable!! Keep being you ♥️

[@Twinbranchesgardening]

Definitely loved the relaxing feel of this. I think that's why I love yours and annaa podcast nice and chatty and positive.

[@aleciasolley7519]

So love just hearing you talk!! ❤❤

[@MaryE171]

Great Q&A! Loving your stuff, as always. :)

[@Ms888Red888]

I loved this! Actually I’ve been loving all of your content lately....! Keep doing what you like, and being you 😊

[@Cozyknitsandreads]

Love your q&a's :) my favourite type of videos are definitely vlogs and chatty casual videos.

[@perledenacre3290]

I find this video very intimate and emotional. A really good one !

[@chasminemyntti]

Loved this relaxed video! So nice to hear your views on and experiences of these topics :)

[@ellieramas]

Hi lily! You and Anna are my favorite youtubers. I really like the contents of ur channel. Its very interesting and very real. I feel like I understand you guys (youtubers) more and and not a lot of people talk about the real stories behind the camera. I like how u dont pretend to be someone else just to get more subs or views. I also like how you deal with negative people here in the internet, its all about whats more important to u and how its gonna affect other people as well. So much respect for u. Love from the Philippines ❤️🤗🇵🇭

[@Moranga94]

I like watching instagram stories, you can pretty much watch them anywhere. I know you can watch youtube on your phone, but I prefer on a big screen and I guess I'm more into it. Love your videos!!!

[@peaceoglory]

Really enjoyed this! Glad the mental health question was brought up as I wanted to ask you something similar but couldn't phrase it.

[@hollieclarkson1860]

I love a long chatty video - just sat and chilled watching this before going to work 🙌🏻❤️

[@cindysoowho]

omgosh, your playlist with your father sounds amazing... maybe you could share?

[@sarahibowles7934]

This was great! So relaxed and a perfect Sunday video. Make more videos like these! Also, I’m okay if the favorites videos disappear 🤷🏽‍♀️. I really just don’t like them anymore. I find myself skipping them over and over. The format is so boring and we already know what you like because you are excited about it which means you talk about it in other platforms or even here on KZbin so it’s okay to not have another video about it. Just my opinion and maybe I’ll just skip them like I have been if they return but just thought I would let you know how I feel. I look forward to your videos on Sundays and when I see a favorites my morning is like sooo blah! Lol. It’s not that serious...hehehe! Anyways, thanks for a lovely video this Sunday.

[@lucyoconnell399]

thx 4 this! love a chatty vid, more please!

[@ElyceBehrsin]

I downloaded this video and watched it on a flight but really wanted to comment so came back on to watch the rest in normal mode! I really love this style video and have been really enjoying your content lately! I'm a similar age and have the same experience with anxiety and body confidence and I liked what you said about not letting it consume you! Also what you said about people DM'ing, I have a tiny KZbin channel and have been getting so many annoying comments on one video that I thought was a really un-controversial video so it's nice to know I'm not mad to be irritated by them 😂. Keep the chill content coming!

[@BlueEgoBox03]

your renovation videos give me life!

[@ttthrillhouse6015]

Could you post your wedding playlist? I’m getting married next year and I’m looking for inspiration for our playlist x

[@deborahlight8779]

Loved this Lily,,,in my experience with my husband and friends husbands and interiors they always say as long as they have a sofa,tv,loo and fridge they dont really care if the bedroom is pink or purple with orange spots,,i dont think they notice,,,you are doing great Lily,,love all of your work xxxx

[@amyfiona1348]

Absolutely loved this video! I'd love more videos like this. You're so intelligent and interesting and it really comes across in your videos! Keep vlogging/blogging and making content. You're doing a great job :)

[@Marie-vt2wp]

LOVED THIS

[@oliviabruce240]

Completely agree with you about the high low. I love it but after a hectic day I find it too intense with certain hard hitting topics x

[@ohheyyola5416]

These videos make you so much more endearing to watch. Thanks for sharing ☺

[@janicemclelland1070]

Thanks Lily, love your chat. Very insightful. Thank you for sharing xxxxx

[@missyabsurd]

I really like your chatty videos and can’t wait for another renovation vlog!

[@meganroberts4179]

Loved thus video and really enjoyed and agreed with what you’ve said in this video. Although I love the Australian comments, “you’re kids can go surfing after school” .... only if you live at the beach haha 😂

[@demilauren1]

Completely agree with th therapy thing. The first time I went I just cried too! The next few were amazing though!

[@cassidy3985]

I love your personality so much!

[@harriethill9764]

Please can you do a video about your gap year!!! Would really love to know how you organised it and where you went ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@insidethismusicbox]

Love these kinds of videos! When I saw your insta story about the person leaving you rude comments on your insta story, I felt bad that I am such a lover of your content and personality but don’t tend to comment or share that with you! Have been a committed viewer of you and Anna for almost 6 years now but I could probably count on my hands how many times I have commented...my bad haha 😂 loving the podcast too!

[@PufPufable]

such a great video! really enjoyed it

[@Reema_mfl]

Love the setup in this video, Lilly 💕 Also, I love listening to your videos as I edit mine
