THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED | Lydia Elise Millen

[@Ann_Barbie]

Your video is my form of escaping my mind right now. I feel so overwhelmed but totally motivated to make the world better.

[@lydiamillen]

This warms my heart 🤍

[@lindaw.5836]

Totally get you. I feel exactly the same. Lydia vids always makes me so HaPpY ❤️

[@hamirabaig]

I can’t believe I actually enjoy watching you do your home chores

[@kimbsx]

Hi Lydia! Lovely vlog 🌸 As a fellow sproutling mother, a loving tip: those pots are a tad bit too big for them.. As the water sinks to the bottom, their roots aren’t long enough to reach the moist yet. Rule of thumb is that the new pot should be about 20% bigger in width and height than the previous one ♥️

[@Mimi.Cherie]

I love you to Lydia, been watching for years and can’t get enough of your contents.

[@hilaryfarrington7017]

You seem so chilled and relaxed since lockdown, and your great sense of humour shines through, which we didn’t get to see much of before, you have made laugh so much😂 It’s also lovely seeing more of you with Ali, what a lovely guy and such a sweet couple.

[@SanjaArctica3]

your eyebrows are out of this world! you look even more beautiful when they are not styled

[@niknak7803]

I've been binge watching your channel and you are definately more relaxed. Love all the home content.

[@fatimakhand3299]

Lydia thank you so much! Because of you always gardening and planting herbs and flowers, you have inspired to me to create a mini garden in my yard! Thanks so much! Love you Lydia, xxx!

[@MayaClaire92]

Watching this was like a big warm cuddle that my soul needed right now. Thankful 🥰

Keep your bananas separate from other fruit because they cause everything else to ripen faster and go off faster! :)

[@mildapra]

Oh, I didn’t know! Thank you for saving my fruit😄

[@jojames5225]

You need a banana tree stand

[@MultiJanfi]

same for apples :)

[@fifiserafino1]

They’re great for ripening avocados - put together in a paper bag and check regularly

[@tingeling5663]

@@fifiserafino1 Really? That's great, thank you for this tip! :)

You just repeated what I read today in the book RULES OF LIFE " you feel guilty because you are a good person" and it is so true. Amazing!

This has been an energy sapping week with what is happening in the World, but you in your garden with the light behind you after gardening..is the balm and calm after a storm, I feel as if you are the daughter I've not had and it makes me happy to see your World and your commitment mentally to all that is mindful in response to the cataclysmic changes.Thank you for all you have said here!

[@fayeappeti]

Lydia, my husband just made our own bed with our own design! All reclaimed wood and specific measurements to fit us and our space. Hidden shelves and cat bed underneath!!! Looks gorgeous with my linen bedding.

[@jovicrazed]

I love how much Ali loves that cat.

[@debraschmick9984]

Just a friendly comment - when I grew my mint for the first time last year it grew very stringy. So this year I researched you need to keep pruning them to keep them more bush like and it worked. Best wishes from Kansas City

[@snoopybluejeans]

I love terra cotta pots. I always get the saucer to go with it. Size wise. In this way you don't need your kitchen plates to catch the water. Do your replanting on the grass, no cleanup that way.

[@lydiamillen]

They arrived today hehe 🙊

[@snoopybluejeans]

@@lydiamillen - looks like you've got company on that dressing room of yours. Josie from fashion mumblr will have her dressing room under the eves as well. It's an interesting space and I love what you did with yours. It will be interesting to see what she does with hers. Good about the saucers. Don't be afraid to get bigger pots. Once those herb get rooted they will need bigger pots. Some are perennials so, so they can winter outside, and enjoy them for years to come. Just not the Basil. that's considered tender. I'm enjoying watching you and Ali get into gardening. It's a lifetime learning curve. Don't forget to plant some catnip for Lumi.

[@snoopybluejeans]

Try some fish fertilizer for your roses, they love it.

[@nikitakrol1128]

Lydia is truly inspiring, beautiful and honest in all her videos. ❤️

[@JyttePit]

Gaia There’s no need to comment negatively on a positive comment. Let people enjoy the video and you can click off whenever you like. 😌

[@debbiekimber8574]

If you put some pebbles in the bottom of the plant pots when re potting , it helps the drainage when watering xx

[@lala5165]

This might be quite odd but sometimes I get teary eyed after watching Lydia’s vlogs. It’s just so uplifting to watch someone who is so positive and has such a great heart! Thank you for bringing joy to my days! 💕

[@siobhanmillington1998]

I always feel like we are the same place at the same time! I watch your videos and you lift me in times of need. Keeping doing what you do, you spread so much sparkle and it’s nice to feel the love ❤️

Love that you dress up at home to make yourself feel good and ready. So important! And more importantly I personally LOVE your grown out brows, so natural with sleek makeup and hair is just 👌🏽👌🏽😍

[@tjsleiman]

I am sitting with the biggest smile on my face watching your plants sprout up. Sharing the joy!

[@ItsmeImalot]

I missed your videos so much 😭😭😭 I need you in my life. You inspire me like no one else.

[@ambermay1024]

Lydia, what a wonderful video. Thank you for speaking out. I’ve been loving your content lately. I’ve been a follower for many years and think what you’ve been doing lately have been some of my favorite videos! 💚💜

[@EEN63]

I think it’s so important to dress for your own joy. Whether that’s in a beautiful, floral maxi dress, snuggly cashmere joggers, or your favorite Christmas pjs in June. Whatever makes you feel special and wonderful! Whatever it takes to feel a bit more empowered or calm and comfortable or whatever feeling you need to feel better! Congratulations on your gardening and success with your sproutlings! What a treat to see Ali playing in the rain! I used to love that as a child! He may have inspired me to do it sometime soon! Enjoyed the long vlog!

[@twishamohin]

Your energy is what lifts me up and makes me happy during this lockdown period 😭💜

Love the hour vlogs while recovering from being sick ❤

[@glenda7846]

So glad this vlog is an hour! This is a welcomed distraction! I would like to start running again. It’s so ridiculously hot in the morning and evening. I probably have to run at 5am. We’re experiencing a heat wave this week 😢. Thank you for this vlog Lydia!

Well done, well said Lydia. I dont know one soul that has not been touched by this reality. I thought I was awake regarding race issues in America, being a minority I prided myself in my awareness. Unfortunately, I was only sleepwalking. I have pledged to be the change. Great video!

[@tiffanymichelle3130]

I don’t understand. I’ve always been aware and have stood up many times against racism when I see it happen. Especially in my family where I have many different races within. In what way were you “sleepwalking”? And what changes will you literally make? Genuinely curious.

[@laurenporter2861]

You literally uplift my mood in another type of way and I love it!!! Thank you ♥️

[@happy-h6m8l]

I needed this video. 💅🏾 time to decompress!

[@KarlaAguas]

I genuinely love it when you include Ali in your vlogs because he’s honestly such a sweet person to watch. Like genuinely seems like such a nice and simple guy- I love the two of you together! Thank you Lydia for creating content that just shuts out the problems and let’s me relax :)

[@beckymorris814]

You know what. I really like your brows. They’re filling out now and looking more even. Very supermodel 😍

[@debbiegreig7079]

I live in Canada 🇨🇦 so I was so thrilled to come home from a crazy stressful work day to finally see a new video. You have made me a very happy girl. And seeing you in that most incredible beautiful blue dress makes me smile too....thanks Lydia...keep doing YOU! ❤

[@SeayMyWorld]

I think you are an amazing woman. Thank you for speaking out & standing up for racial injustice

[@xcrunnerandjumper]

Lydia, buy some rose fertilizer from the garden center and apply it every two weeks, it will help your roses bloom more.

[@emilycormeraie8858]

Good on you for working through the anxiousness. I’m sure you’ll do so carefully, and please take care of yourself. But learning to cope and deal with your anxiety will help you a lot

[@ladytiffa]

Take care using bare hands on compost, make sure you wash them well after xo Also! Try using potting mix soil rather than compost. It will be better draining and compost is more of a fertiliser to boost vege/flower gardens. Might be a bit rich for little sproutlings!!

Your new lavender plants are definitely English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia ), it looks like they are just a different variety 'Platinum Blonde' to the established plant you already have. Without the established plant having flowered it's hard to tell which variety it is. When it has flowered try the RHS or Crocus to identify it.

[@eilishcantwell513]

Most of us, love your long vlogs, don’t stop. Thank you

I am also on this journey of opening my eyes, listening more, never feeling like I’ve learned “enough”, and being more vocal about my beliefs and what we know is right. Lydia, I hope we can keep this conversation going once it’s not as relevant in the news. Hope to see you share parts of your journey (like your takeaways from the books you read) so we can all grow together. Xoxo’s from Boston 💕
