MESSY WARDROBES & CONSCIOUS LIVING | April Vlog #13

[@idek-ds7me]

I remember reading a quote that said "We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly" (Anne-Marie Bonneau on Twitter, I think). I totally agree with that quote, and I think it's good that you're doing what you can to reduce as much waste as possible.

[@hollielancett2172]

I love your rambles! And yes to a video on sorting clothes 🙌🏻 please do it with loads of rambles too 🤣

[@Em_222]

Your content is so encouraging, you talk about conscious consumption in the most relaxing way without making me feel so stressed about making a wrong move and without the weight on my chest of the word ending immediately if I don’t do something,you are informative and encouraging and always with the reminder that the world doesn’t make it easy for us to do these things , that we are sold consumerism ,so anything we can do is a great start and being harsh on ourselves isn’t going to achieve anything greater if we are trying our best! You are also so great at getting your audience to visualise the difference they could make!! I’ve been a vegetarian for years and have felt really uninspired food wise lately! Tuna sweet corn sandwiches used to be my favourite as a child and I had never heard of anyone making it with chickpeas!! I’ve looked up a recipe and I’m so excited!! As always your videos give me such cozy and positive vibes, a big breath of fresh air just when I need it , thanks for sharing and I hope you have the most rewarding lovely weekend 🌞💛

[@KylaPlanet]

I love the rambles! Long may they remain.

[@stacielliott3311]

Would love a video of you sorting out Delilah’s clothes! I need to do that for my son, so it might motivate me haha.

[@ljkthomas7705]

I've been feeling so anxious all day, anxious to the point where I've felt a constant sickness and I don't even know why, but your vlogs are so lovely and homely and really do help on any day that I'm feeling so rubbish. Delilah is also such a credit to you and Dough, she's such a sweet and polite girl and you can tell she's going to be a wonderful human.

[@MariaMedeiros]

It’s so lovely to hear Delilah say full sentences. Last year it was two three words. She’s expressing her self so beautifully. Lovely vlog. 💐🌸💗

[@carissastrabley5558]

I love it when you ramble!! And I definitely think stole that honey mustard recipe!! You are such an inspiration. ❤️

[@YvonneUCLA]

But we LOVE your rambles, Rhiannon! Or I do, anyway. 🙋🏻‍♀️🤗

[@swamid.4634]

“Pea????!!!” LOL She was so offended about the peas in her plate 😂 kids can be so hilarious sometimes! Btw Yes to the video on sorting D’s clothes 🙏🏻

[@shannonwuke1043]

You are trying your best to lessen your waste and be conscious about the better things in life. I wish i was able to be so conscious but i get really nervous.. just got to take the first step, take my own bags etc. You are an inspiration to start and try ^_^

[@elliepeedom8160]

Shush Rhiannon I love your rambles, it's your attention to detail that comes out through them, especially when it comes to clothing, don't change!

[@patriciabold3539]

"peaa?! don't like peas anymore" x

[@gothicsprites]

rhiannon i do love your rambles ✨

[@hannnnahoxo]

i made a chickpea sandwich for lunch today. i use vegan mayo, garlic, coriander, and loads of salt and pepper. it you want it to taste like tuna you can put a tiny bit of vinegar in and then mash it all up. it’s satisfying and really filling.

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

Sounds delicious - definitely need to try! x

[@disabledyetinvincible]

So glad the rambles are back, I've actually missed them! Delilah's apple cardigan is adorable, I want one in grown up size! I've got a chunky cream cardigan that I've had for a few years now and I wear it all the time, especially when it's mild and don't really need a coat.

[@kristenl8358]

I make chickpea salad all the time and have even gotten my non-vegan / vegetarian friends to start making it! I make it exactly how I use to make tuna or egg salad and absolutely love it! 😊

[@Kayla-v3f]

Yes!! I would love a video of you sorting through Delilah’s wardrobe 😍 Her outfits are too cute

[@SophieLaidlaw]

i just absolutely love your videos. i comment a bit more than i did back in the day. im currently in Australia and i feel so far from home. i have my boyfriend but apart from that i don't have many 'real' friends. i've made out here. watching your videos feel like im with a friend - as silly as it may seem- but it makes me feel so good!

[@joannamarina6734]

I agree exactly with what you said as in not being perfect but just be conscious with purchases and waste! I would love a video on you talking about the changes you have made or things you have made yourself aware of when making purchases. I need some inspo myself

[@elliepage6861]

not going to lie, i kept refreshing my page hoping this video would pop up!!!! xxx

[@kimevans6498]

Yes to a video sorting clothes! Your videos make my day💕

[@chibimena]

I agree so much with your concious living mentality. It’s so important to just be aware. 🌎

[@rach0147]

Loving the April vlogs 😍🌸🌱🐣

[@halleelu]

The chickpea salad sandwiches are great 😊 mash em up with mayo (or vegenaise) lemon juice, garlic powder, salt & pepper and we add chopped pickles & splash of pickle juice 😋 all your preference, but it’s surprising how GOOD it is!!

[@PaigeWestCo]

Finally found the cardigan vlog with a link😍😍😍

[@Nic2096]

Yay for a video of Delilah’s wardrobe!!💕

[@gilliancook4072]

Yes please I like you sorting out clothes and cupboards asl love seeing the garden it like it’s comming along nicely xx

[@Lilveggiekid]

love the uploads, its the only time to just sit and relax and disconnect from the world X

[@AranelJawbreaker]

Flow is literally my favourite magazine for years! I can't resist buying it but I always make the way into the store (we luckily have one in Norwich that stocks it). I am currently catching up with your vlogs after a very eventful week. I think the reason I like your vlogs so much is that they are especially extraordinary yet uneventful. Like you are a normal person doing normal things. That's why they are so good. and then ever so often you get to go to an event that's exciting but it always is so YOU! In all those years I follow you I have never seen you do something that wouldn't suit you. and I am, for my part, very happy you are one of the few people not milking the "youtuber lifestyle" vlogs where everything is always "amazing!" and "gramable" because I could really not relate to it. You and your family are an "oasis of quiet" in the busy life of today and on the internet and that's the most refreshing thing someone can be these days imho. Also: LOVE THE RANTS! sending some hugs and deep appreciation your way from the bottom of my heart :)

[@imathumb]

chickpea tuna is SO GOOD! and easy, i always keep some in a tub in my fridge 🤩aww btw my mum did that "don't smile" thing on me when i was grumpy and it worked everytime! 😂 still makes me smile

[@gaiaquedreux6150]

I'd love a video on sorting clothes YES !! Love your videos !

[@sheeni]

Delilah is so funny and smart and she reminds me my daughter (who is same age) so much :)) Always making fun and always improves my mood 💗

[@jodieabbott7219]

Yeah do the clearing out video, I love decluttering videos be nice to see what you do xx

[@angelinablohmbokenhielm1772]

How is it going with your driver's license? 😁 Haven't heard anything more about it 😇

[@liv.c4956]

When learning to drive I think lots of people like to keep their head down and get on with it, progress is a personal measurement. I’m sure Rhiannon doesn’t want to hamper her progress by subjecting it to any form of critique. And we know people just love to critique. 🤔

[@melissabeynon4323]

She said she took a break from her driving lessons in a previous vlog, coincidentally at the same time as myself. I think she was feeling a little overwhelmed with it all, I’m sure she’ll give an update at some point when she’s ready 🌷

[@hehemai]

I just love to start my mornings with your vlogs! 💟

[@DipitinYogurt]

Rhiannon I love your rambles! 💓

[@lizziewatson8393]

Yes to wardrobe sort out!! Xx

[@leeshmigs_]

Yes to baby/toddler clothes haul/clear out 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@heleneolsenthunem307]

I'll try that dressing, what a good idea! Nobody does everything perfect, I believe in doing what you can or at least do something 😊

[@wannaeatmyheart]

Oh Rhiannon i absolutely love your vlogs!! xxx

[@magdalenad527]

Love your talk about being conscious of the positive change we can make :) thank you for the motivation!

[@kelliewalton7120]

Nooooo i don’t want the April vlogs to end ! Injoy your weekend hope we cross paths some day 👍💕

[@12happy11]

The minimalist baker has a chickpea sunflower sandwich that tastes so much like tuna salad.

[@shivp22]

Would love a clearout and organizing of Delilah’s drawers .. I remember when I was expecting my little boy and Zoe recommended you and I started watching your video of you organizing Delilah’s teeny tiny baby clothes 🥰 🤗 have stuck around since! Sometime over a year ago, though it feels longer

[@fleurjorinde]

would love a sorting video! yours are always so relaxing and satisfying 💛

[@DinaShalott]

I love your vlogs and content so much!!! Pls don't stop eating fish!!!!❤

[@stephenharper6423]

Would love to see you sort out her wardrobe and draws 😍

[@woodlandhalls]

yes! smashed chickpeas withe vegan mayo, maybe some olvide oil and paprika too, make for great vegan ‘tuna’

[@yassaari]

"would you guys like a video on...." Yes, the answer is always yes! Lol. Also PLEASE film your suppers, as in cooking videos or snippets. I keep thinking you'll show us the recipe and then it cuts off. Loving your content either way 😊

[@hannahswift5275]

Yes to Delilah’s wardrobe clear out 🖤

[@mikaeladonges9102]

Keep an eye out for produce bags...if you look hard enough you’ll find plastic free goods... Or better yet grow your own..tomatoes are so easy to grow!

[@christab7184]

I always think you would love one of those babboe bikes that have the big cart upfront for D and all your groceries! It´s greate for getting around eco friendly and without a car ;)

[@Leanniette]

Just so ya know, I always like your videos before I even watch 'em. ❤️

[@ParisWoods90]

I’ve tried that chickpea tuna thing and it’s quite good if you’re missing tuna 👍🏻

[@swamid.4634]

Chickpea tuna is amazing! Hope you’ll give it a try 😊

[@annabanana1814]

Love your vlogs Rhiannon! x

[@alicemcquail5347]

Love your videos they always calm me down xxx

[@shorshi6128]

Is you voice... Deeper?? Maybe you're about to get a bit sick?? No shade! Just sounded a bit funny! Lovely vlog as usual

[@marinacampsall]

Another day. Another Rhiannon vlog!!

[@charlottew8463]

Yess an organising Delilah’s clothes pleaseee

[@susanhoppe]

I’ve made a tuna salad with sprouted sunflower seeds!! It was pretty amazing.

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

HOW?! I’m so intrigued 😲

[@susanhoppe]

Rhiannon Ashlee Vlogs I can email you the recipe. I have it as a pdf. 😁

[@susanhoppe]

I’ll send it to your business email, if that’s ok?

[@AshleyShane]

Sorry to be a bother, but where is your compost bin from? I'm looking for one just like that and can't seem to find an option that works for me!

[@rachelparkin8344]

Hi Rhiannon. I saw today that you can buy the Flow magazine in the food department in M & S.

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

Whaaaat! It’s never in my M&S 😅

[@sianmarylouise]

Can you do a 24hr zero waste challenge, maybe on my your main channel? And dont try to cut out the chats, we love it! xx

[@alyssaeden6977]

sianmarylouise this is such a good idea! Maybe some people will realise how bloody hard it is rather than criticising people trying to make an effort 🤣

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

I thought about this the other day and it would definitely be a good challenge! x

[@sianmarylouise]

@@RhiannonAshleeVlogs thankyou for always making me think more about the plastic i use and cruelty free cleaning products and more healthier diet! xx

[@rikketakera]

Rhiannon - do you have a Pinterest we can follow? I would absolutely adore seeing your food ideas and any fashion boards etc. x

[@kimkrewson7954]

I would love to see you organize little D's room and to see new clothing.

[@yvonnehamers5245]

Maybe try the Marie Kondo style to organize Delilah's drawers? ☺️ Love your vlogs! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

I have done since she was a newborn.. but I’ve just not been bothered lately knowing I’ll swap everything and it’s just gotten worse and worse 😂

[@yvonnehamers5245]

@@RhiannonAshleeVlogs hahaha owww the circle of doom 🙈

[@Greeningermany]

Lovely vlog as usual!! I was so happy when I saw that you were watching the Very Hungry Caterpillar which was one of my daughters favourite books. They are your age and yet I could probably recite the entire book. I can still recite Each Peach, Pear, Plum. Love your chatty vlogs. And I am right with you on my frustration with the all-or-nothing people who can be so disrespectful with their comments about any attempts to be more environmentally conscious. I use reusable grocery bags, made my own produce bags, recycle everything I possibly can, grow as much as my own food as possible (organically) and I had a gentleman tell me the other day that i should have advised my daughter not to have my granddaughter because I was contributing to the end of the world!! Bloody hell!! If we all make an effort, even a modest effort, it will do more than just a few people being extremists in environmental consciousness. Part of the reason I love your videos is that you inspire me to continue to do what I can to be as conscious of my purchases, the packaging, the source, etc. as possible. Do not let those all-or-nothing people discourage you or make you think you are not doing enough. You are an inspiration to me and I am old enough to be your mother. And I secretly covet your clothing and decorating style, you are far cooler than I ever aspired to be. Saw my cress seed sprouting this morning and was wondering how your seedlings are going. Sorry for the ramble. Cheers

[@zxcvbnmevie6459]

Rhiannon do you watch gardeners world? I know you’re really into your planting at the moment and being eco friendly and there was a really interesting segment tonight about plastic free planting which i thought might be of interest!

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

I may have to find it on catch up!! x

[@SusiesSweetLife]

I'd love a video on sorting out Delilah's clothes! DO IT ON YOUR OTHER CHANNEL!

[@eve4835]

razorlight omg

[@NowtheKidschannel]

I really enjoy your waffles, don’t edit them out :( 💕 Well done for caring for the environment, you treating me things which also helps safe the earth 🌎

[@kattsalas9432]

10:41 Yes please !

[@Emmyradrad]

I'd like to see Delilah's new things please!

[@chockycake1]

Have you read Simple Things magazine? Think you would really enjoy it😊

[@disabledyetinvincible]

I completely agree with this, it's such a lovely magazine!

[@Leanniette]

pour some syrup on the waff'lin, gurl... I don't mind it! :)

[@muriel612]

Hi! I'm kind of a newish subscriber and I was wondering if she ever mentionned having other children? If somebody has a answer please say! thanks

[@gabz888]

don't like peas anymore lolololol

[@jbjochims]

I would love a video about Delilah's clothes

[@clovenutmeg2010]

Would like a sorting clothes vlog. ☺

[@tonjehansen9297]

❤️

[@TheRebecbox]

The thing is is that tomatoes and strawberries, blueberries.... all those that come in plastic are not seasonal ... where do they come from? Definitely not England... carbon footprint isn’t worth it ?!

[@TheRebecbox]

And probably tasteless fruits and vegetables with nice pesticides ...

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

I buy all organic berries and at the moment, everything’s British. Even in season things are in plastic unfortunately.

[@TheRebecbox]

Rhiannon Ashlee Vlogs sorry I’m from France and We don’t get berries until April/mai can’t believe that in England you find them all year ! It’s like when I watch English KZbinrs is like they have a bath everyday.

[@PandaInDerDose]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jessdigitalartz923]

I hate how much plastic there is in fruit and vege packaging. There is just no need for it. Superstores need to sort it out theres just no excuses anymore. Also people kicking off about the paper straws at McDonalds need to seriously get a grip with their perspectives in life 😂😂😂

[@elladavis4667]

i was just wondering, did you know that i’f you take back loads of clothes they can’t be sold again so it all goes to landfill and waste xxx No hate i was just saying.

[@naomikenya]

I don't think that is correct for most places? The retail places I've worked just resell the clothes if they are unworn and still have the tags one! xx

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

I’m certain they get sold on (unless faulty).. otherwise brands would be losing a lot of profit!!

[@elladavis4667]

ahh okay, i just had heard that’s what happens. You’re probably all right lol 😂. Thanks for telling me xxx

[@TheYoungs]

Don't edit your rambles. I love them!!!

[@KrmMgr]

im really conscious about the waste of time what that child would have without making "THE vlog" for the rest of the "unconsciuos" people on this planet.

[@elliekaye1997]

Have no idea why your voice sounds so different today?

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

I also thought the same when editing 🙈

[@Laura-qk5jk]

I thought the same thing? I thought it was my ears! Lol

[@BelligerentStyle]

I think fish is more nutritious than chickpeas

[@catherinerawlinson2593]

Firstly chickpeas are very nutritious and high in protein, fibre and iron. It's why so many vegetarians and vegans use them as a basis for so many meals!Secondly it's more about cutting consumption as the fishing industry can be very polluting and damaging to natural ecosystems, the same as meat and dairy industries!

[@ilbethedreamer]

Why would you want to eat a dead fish?!! How is that healthier

[@BelligerentStyle]

Fish is healthier and it tastes better. Fish oil is probably the best supplement there is. The Japanese eat so much of it and they're very healthy

[@sz6960]

Your voice sounds weird for some reason 🤔

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT!! I thought the frame rate was slightly less in final cut so I moved everything into a new file where the frame rate was like it usually is, yet my voice still sounded odd. I have no idea whether it was just my voice that day or my camera 😂

[@SarahSince1986]

You really don’t need to explain your plastic use in every other vlog. You’ve just got to ignore the commenters that are stupid and expect you to be perfect. You do more than most people and, I dunno, it just annoying for a regular viewer. I don’t want that to come across mean...because I know reading a comment doesn’t come across great sometimes. I love the vlogs i just find it frustrating when you feel you have to explain yourself all the time.

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

That’s ok. Sometimes I explain because I’m just chatting like I would a friend e.g. talking about the difference just not buying salad dressing makes in the grand scheme of things, I did that because I had hoped it would make some look at it differently and know that little things do add up, but your right, I’ll stop actually explaining/justifying as I understand that could get annoying. It’s hard to chat about anything without fear of coming across as complaining, lecturing or justifying when it’s not come from that place in my head, it’s difficult analysing everything you say and do worrying about how it’ll come across so I am sorry, I do try and thank you for just being nice about it x

[@SarahSince1986]

Rhiannon Ashlee Vlogs aw thanks I’m glad it didn’t come across wrong, hey on another note I believe Tesco are trialling the removal of plastic packaging on fruit and veg in some stores. I hope that gets rolled out fully!

[@SarahSince1986]

Rhiannon Ashlee Vlogs oh and while I’m here, have you heard about 5G being rolled out in the UK soon. It’s benign trialled at Bristol uni now and will be a Glastonbury....it’s so bad for our health and the government don’t care. If you get a chance to look into it it might be worth a mention to get word out that we need to fight against it. Ok I’ll stop now :) have a good day x

[@RhiannonAshleeVlogs]

Ekk! Really? That’s terrifying.. I don’t understand why 4G isn’t enough but then is 4G also bad for us? 😭

[@SarahSince1986]

Rhiannon Ashlee Vlogs I don’t think 4G is as harmful but apparently 5G is 20x faster and has more radiation and “microwaves” Apparently there has been a spate of suicides at Bristol uni since it was installed, rather interesting. I joined a few groups on Facebook so I’m still learning. But there was something on the dailymail about Teresa May accepting Huawai new Chinese system for 5G which is a threat to our national security and she tried to keep it hush but there was a whistleblower and now mp’s are being accused of leaking it. You never know what to believe but there are a few countries that are banning 5G.

[@zahraiqbal6752]

Oh Rhiannon I absolutely love your vlogs!! xxx
