VLOG: Weekend SIX in Lockdown | Fleur De Force

[@KeishaAbbott]

Thanks for continuing to post content. I really needed this today. I'm a member of the Royal Canadian Navy and yesterday one of our helos crashed into the Ionian Sea. Got word today of the 5 missing crew and the name of one confirmed dead, who happens to be a lovely officer who I've served with alongside with her father. I've been crying on and off all day. So thanks for distracting me for a little while.

[@FleurDeForce]

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. What sad news especially at the moment with all of this going on already. Sending you lots of love ❤️

[@cassidycomeau231]

Sending you love from Nova Scotia ❤️

[@KeishaAbbott]

@@cassidycomeau231 thank you. I'm also in NS

[@jillyfish72]

Keisha Abbott I’m so sorry 💔

[@KeishaAbbott]

@@jillyfish72 thank you. I appreciate that

[@lalelu1023]

Your vlogs are literally the only thing that help me keep on track with the amount of time this crisis has already been taking up!

[@itsannalewis]

It’s hard to believe we’ve already had 6 weekends of quarantine, but these vlogs provide such a refreshing bit of entertainment during this time! Thank you, Fleur!

[@georgietalks6914]

Anna Lewis has that how many it’s been!!? Oh my goodness, that’s scary haha

[@Britbabe53]

I believe you should be grinding your flax seed, they are practically indigestible whole

[@hollyheaton5305]

Just to say, I've been loving the vlogs. My husband is a key worker and I'm on mat leave with my 9mth old so it's nice to see other people even if it's only virtually 😊 x

[@P_Taylor]

Thank you so much for riding with us and documenting it here! It was such a fun weekend and amazing to feel connected to so many kickass women when otherwise stuck at home! Thank you thank you xx

[@FleurDeForce]

I LOVED IT! Well done on organising! What an amazing achievement! I didn’t have the link in till now (sorry!) but I’ve just put it in! Xxx

[@mariangela77]

Your vlogs are the BEST THING EVER! I just wanted to say that I really admire that you keep your priorities straight and you always draw a line between private and public life. Sending you lots lots of love!! Have a great day!

[@jenniferr4738]

Hey fleur! Have you considered grinding your flax seeds? Flax seed does not break down well and you end up just passing the seed. You can blend it into a meal or purchase it already ground.

[@FleurDeForce]

I put it in for the crunch though! :)

[@flomorris-duffin950]

It's best to grind your flaxseed before eating it (I just use a blender and pulse until ground) as when they're whole they are indigestible so you won't get much of the nutrients :)

[@wafabouhellous1230]

I live in China and we’ve been at it for 3 months and a half .......i know it’s hard but when you dedicate your time to activities you don’t usually have time for . It becomes a lot more bearable even enjoyable . Love your vlogs 😘😘😘😘

[@rachaelenglish348]

Is China still on lockdown?

[@wafabouhellous1230]

Rachael English some businesses are back to work . But schools ,Entertainment are not . We are still recommended to keep our contact with others to a minimum and we still have to wear masks . But things are a lot better now . Things are slow to get back to normal,as expected with something as devastating as this Covid 19 has been .

[@rachaelenglish348]

Glad to hear things are a lot better. Thanks for the reply. Take care

[@majaraskovic1260]

I recommend some baby spinach in the smoothie - you won't taste it at all, but good for getting greens in!

[@FleurDeForce]

I eat A LOT of veg, (usually about 4-5 portions in lunch and dinner) so I’d rather save my greens for cooking something tasty later in the day! :) especially at the moment when we are a little limited with our once-a-week food shop :)

[@majaraskovic1260]

Fleur DeForce of course; I was totally projecting my failure to eat enough veg! I need ways of tricking myself into eating more greens :)

[@mm-bv9yg]

Fleur DeForce lol why so defensive? Just say thanks for the suggestion and move on.

[@CD-mj1zs]

mm She politely took the time to write a more than two second answer in the comments for one of her followers letting her know what her reasoning is...that’s what we call nice, not defensive.

[@csidauruk83]

mm why you think that defensive?? She just gave her reason about not put spinach on her smoothie. Nothing's wrong with that. And she is not you btw..

[@arricamartin2045]

Be careful with flax seeds. They can be rough on the intestine wall, tearing it. Easier to digest when ground into meal. ❤️

[@TheAgeofFabulous]

I think we’re on weekend 9 coming up in the states, I have NO CLUE anymore. Honestly, if I didn’t have to work everyday from home, I wouldn’t know if it was the weekend or a weekday.

[@kristinas_view]

The way River says chopsticks melts my heart

[@FleurDeForce]

Mine too! ❤️❤️❤️

[@saraanderson8206]

Yay! I’ve been loving the weekend vlogs. I look forward to it every week.

[@JemJemR]

OMG River with the chop sticks.....so cute. It's so lovely she eats and enjoy what you guys eat. Loving the vlogs and you look glowing!! Stay safe xxx

[@MyBetterLaugh]

Flaxseed doesn’t absorb if it’s not ground first! Try grinding it with the banana or grinding it in a spice grinder beforehand

[@shivolove]

Love these long vlogs, calming and soothing to watch & a distraction from what’s going on right now in the world! Stay safe❤️

[@andreoti92]

Best time of the week! Catching up with your weekend vlogs has been an amazing way to relax during this time. Thank you!!

[@tunisiarawles]

Hello Fleur, Blessings from Brooklyn. I truly miss the home vlogs, with you, Mike and now River! Yaaaay! I'm so jealous of Mike's metabolism 😒 But to be truthful, Mike does a lot of cycling, which probably does wonders for his metabolism. I hope you do more home vlogs in the future. Love you all 😍

[@giuliaolgaolivetti]

Absolutely loving these vlogs Fleur! Love how spontaneous, genuine and funny you all are, it’s so nice and enjoyable to watch 🤗 keep it up!

[@FleurDeForce]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@SiriusScientist]

Favorite cleaning supplies video please! We have a dog and I’d love to see more about that wet vac. A cleaning routine / zone schedule would also be awesome. Thank you for vlogging!

[@mollyevansp]

Gotta say, loving the quarantine content. Seeing more of you and your family has been great. Working at an animal hospital through this whole thing, so the happy content to distract myself with in the evening is much appreciated.

[@thereisadream]

I love how you have to keep ending it the next day because you forgot to. Just like old times. Somethings never change lol ❤️

[@neeshasidhu7862]

I absolutely love your vlogs, they are giving me life right now. To save my sanity after looking after two boys during this lockdown I have an hour of "mummy time" in the week. Which is literally, coffee and catching up on your vlogs UNINTERRUPTED. Xxx

[@amandaelizabeth21]

I also feel like the weeks have been flying by, but the month still feels long.

[@ndav]

You are looking so great, to be fair you always do- but your skin is so beautiful and you look healthy and happy. These vlogs are lovely and wholesome, true family weekend! Thank you for such good content!

[@homemakingwithmarissa]

Way to use your time for good! Such a great way to give back during a hard time.

[@thebeautytype]

I absolutely love your lockdown videos, great seeing family time and decent content. Always love how down to earth you are!

[@izzyyoung158]

I've been watching for so many years and I've missed your vlogs! Loving having so much content from one of my absolute favourite youtubers! xx

[@GmaMom]

Chocolate orange cookie recipe please? Sounds yummy!

[@aimee7543]

I look forward to these all week! Really getting me through lockdown ❤️ your vlogs are always my favourite!

[@bdbvi]

Your vlogs are so relaxing to watch, Fleur ❤️!!!

[@AnnieStandingNgai]

I looooove my bissell crosswave! Had it a couple of years now and it's my favourite thing ever for cleaning!

[@deelot1]

The Weekend vlogs are the best videos to watch especially during Lockdown

[@xsarahmichellex1]

Anyone know of the recipe for the chocolate and orange cookies and the cashew cookies? Thanks Fleur for these videos, so good. Love from Ireland xxx

[@martinajameson3903]

Shld recomend that stain remover to Zalfie!!?? Maybe idk there copper and cleaning deals... But if you can go and do it yourself's why not?? Especially in the times were in trying to get by and such...

[@SSDGM26.2]

I look forward to these all week!!! I've been around since Run de Force and love feeling like things are normal, even for 20 minutes!! I majorly LOVE running 26.2 but cannot imagine doing it on a bike! I'm the worst at cycling! Hugs from south of Chicago :)

[@Erin-nh3wt]

Bar keepers friend is one of the best cleaning products ever. I discovered it when looking for a way to clean scuffed white quartz countertops and it is magic!

[@annettestrahan7776]

That’s awesome that you did all that cycling! I logged 27.2 miles on my couch😆 Now I’m wanting sushi for lunch!😋 Loving all the videos!

[@cassiewardlow924]

I love these weekend vlogs Fleur! I almost don’t want isolation to end... almost haha! Keep em coming!

[@ceciatl4105]

Fleur I wished I'd look like you when working out. Only in quarantine I'm early for your vlogs. Thank you so much for the vlogs :)

[@laurabarker3097]

Loving your lockdown content Fleur, thanks for making these past 6 weeks that little bit brighter!

[@FleurDeForce]

So glad to hear! Thanks for watching! Xx

[@jessicawong8416]

I miss Vampire Diaries. The CW used to have great shows like The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Reign and now I don't watch anything on The CW anymore because I'm not into any of the shows on there right now.

[@sweetbabyxcupcake]

Reign was my shit

[@malinday75]

It works great on pots/pans and wonderful on all porcelain bathroom fixtures

[@debrajane7622]

Congratulations on your 26.2 miles on Peloton!!! I’m also a big Peloton fan, so I appreciate what an effort that was. Great job, Fleur!! Thank you so much for your vlogs, they are really great! 😊👍❤️

[@tyc7485]

Fleur please do a cooking video on your orange and chocolate cookies please. They look amazing! Love you!

[@carmelwalsh2576]

Daughter used to complain that the bath was too hot so we kept making it colder and colder! After a few weeks she completely refused to get in at all. Then I realised that she didn’t know how to say ‘cold’ and hot was the only word she knew relating to temperature! So we ran a ‘hot’ bath and she was as happy as Larry again!!

[@FleurDeForce]

Haha! That’s so funny! Sweet ❤️

[@Curraaaan]

River reminds me of my sister at the same age - sushi loving with an American accent 😂 My sister was living in Japan at that age so Sushi was her breakfast, lunch and dinner! Our family video clips of her until the age of 9 with her American accent are my favourite thing in the world!

[@CloudedIdeas24]

Love the vlog! We use Ariel powder detergent for clothes to wash our sink. Put the powder in, scrub it with a non scratchy scrubby sponge, add enough hot water to let the bottom soak for a few mins, then rinse with hot water. Work great for the bath / shower floor too.

[@FleurDeForce]

That’s so interesting! Good to know - thanks for the tip! X

[@hazeldelosreyes9237]

Hi Fleur. I use ground flax seeds. Flax seeds have lots of omega 3, so you won't benefit from it using the whole seeds.✌✌✌

[@lindsayjohnson6107]

Will you be sharing the recipe for your chocolate orange cookie? They sound lush!

[@Bexydoodledandy]

Hi Fleur. Where are your King and Queen Chess Salt and Pepper Mills from? So cool!

[@gabbyhagood9175]

mike and river during the time lapse!!!!!! cuties!!!!!!!

[@DfarrahB]

These vlogs are the highlight of my lockdown. Thank you for sharing!

[@shellfraya]

Maybe I'm the only one but I love seeing all the dirt and dog hairs my hoover collects lol makes me know it's a job well done!

[@claudiecakez]

Thank you so much for making these weekly vlogs! Watching has made living in a pandemic more positive. (Sending love from Toronto, Canada)!

[@FleurDeForce]

So glad you’re enjoying them! Sending love back from the English countryside! ❤️

[@evak8487]

I enjoy these vlogs so much! Lovely family and I can’t believe I’ve been watching since 2011 😂🙌🏻

[@jill697]

Emergency cuddles 🚨🥰 happy birthday to Lizzie and Lulu and good job keeping precious mama dukes safe!

[@MMarina92]

I prefer the white ceiling in the bathroom or the loo as you call it :)

[@nataliegarcia73]

Me eying your necklace wondering where it's from, maybe it's an antique find, it's so beautiful!

[@buddhaforkath]

did you know flaxeed only works if it's grinded down? the entire seed isn't really digested!

[@SkyxoxStar]

Bar Keepers Friend is the best cleaning supply! It works on stoves too, from glass top to gas, to crappy University dormitory stoves, it gets them shinny and new. Love the DIY sushi! I want to try it with riced cauliflower now

[@wishforinfinity]

I recently started rewatching Vampire Diaries and it's been the best bit of nostalgia!

[@thelmawarren8828]

River is an absolute doll baby!!

[@KatieSnyder]

When you said you were watching “blast from the past, Romeo and Juliette”, at first I thought you were watching the Brandon Fraser movie Blast From The Past 🤣so now I’m going to go watch that😆

[@em_laura]

Katie Snyder one of my fav movies!

[@WinaPuangco]

OMG I THOUGHT THIS TOO hahaha

[@TheLaussac]

I am absolutely LOVING these vlogs ❤️

[@AmalieJoe]

Where is that georgous cake stand from??! Its amazing!!

[@tracy_b1-q2k]

I’m loving these vlogs Fleur and River is gorgeous 😍

[@xOxbabies1]

I've been rewatching the Vampire Diaries as well! It is making me feel cozy and nostalgic. Lol.

[@NaturalGlamourxo]

Your vlogs are so wholesome Fleur, love them xo

[@mrsf870]

Loving your vlogs Fleur. You are 🌞! Thanks to your previous vlog, hubbie and I are looking forward to an Aperol spritz tomorrow evening, for the first time ever. Well done on your charity ride. Best wishes to you all. Xx

[@stephanieworth6569]

Holy bananas you and I are like twins this week! My 2 year old makes me carry 3 million stuffed animals downstairs every morning and up to her bed every night! We also have let the cleaning go this week and I'm catching up while watching this video. My 2 year old is also grumpy, I have that vacuum, and I live by bar keeper's friend! I was blown away by this video, lol.

[@elisabethschlender7009]

Tempeh is really great in sushi. I steam it and then mash with vegan mayo and sambal oelek or sriracha.

[@mrskfk6492]

Binge watching all your lockdown vlogs and loving them so much ❤️👌🏻

[@riccismith8648]

I have been loving these videos. It’s so nice to see u guys clogging again.😊

[@terryfischer1070]

I am going to have to make that smoothie bowl. It looks absolutely wonderful!!

[@emilyfinn8391]

I like ready meals too FleurDeForce I have a ready meal on a Friday when I come home from my choir that I go to on a Friday morning. Ready meals are yummy. And they are good when you can't be bothered cooking. I do the same as you FleurDeForce.

[@geyj1]

I love your video content, especially during these strange times. Thank you

[@TXMakeupJunkie]

I love the plate you put Rivers sushi! Where is it from?

[@BreakFreeTV1]

y'all are adorable! your sushi looked good to me. made me want to make some! Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@flemiac]

Really enjoying the weekend videos . Keep them coming please . Could I ask where you got your knife magnetic holder ? Can only find orange coloured ones 🙈.

[@FleurDeForce]

Thank you! Our one is from Global (the same as the knives) but I think a few different brands make them. If you google ‘magnetic knife strip’ they should come up!

[@Hannah28995]

I love watching your vlogs so much.. you’re so down to watch and lovely 😘

[@lucyallen5960]

When River can use chopsticks better than me 🙈, honestly obsessed with little River 🥰

[@juliebeck3796]

I can’t get enough of these weekly vlogs! Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us! 💕 Piglet on the sofa curled up ❤️🥰❤️ Precious! Btw.....looks like you did a great job with the sushi 🍣 😋Now I’m craving some!

[@traceymarshall5886]

We call high risk people in ireland as "cocooning "

[@Marie-ow5jh]

Fleur I love your watch! Where is it from!? xox

[@donnapallett1234]

What do you use on your hair to keep it a nice, clean blonde? Looks lovely x

[@KaylaMaryy]

Totally random question; what label maker did you use?!😂😍💖💖

[@susanfrenz6653]

The best to your Mom, I haven't heard you guys talk of Jack lately. Everything Ok with him

[@Malwur]

I would like to ask you about the glass thing on legs on the island. is it for cookies? cakes? whe did you get it :)?

[@sandralee6848]

I think you need to grind your flax seed in order for your body to benefit from it. I think the husk is too tough to digest properly. FYI thanks

[@patipat5868]

oh yes, time flies in quarantine, I promised myself to tidy up my flat regularly during this time to keep my hands busy, instead I have ended up watching people cleaning theirs.... well, there are no rules in quarantine and being just lazy is acceptable ;)

[@TheRayjane]

You have the most beautiful skin. Flawless. Love your house and property And then there is precious River ...little baby darlin ❤️

[@katemills5795]

really enjoying these weekend vlogs, thank you xx

[@tastingtothrive_rd]

Hey Fleur! Vegan Registered Dietitian here :) Your smoothie bowl looked AMAZING, but make sure you grind your flax seeds so you get the omega-3 benefits! We can only get the omega-3's from them when they're ground. Just a small tip, you're obviously doing awesome with veganism!!

[@FleurDeForce]

Thanks! Yes lots of people have been saying that - I like them for the crunch though 🤷🏼‍♀️ is it really bad to eat them like this? 😂

[@tastingtothrive_rd]

Fleur DeForce hahaha I totally get that, definitely not bad, you’ll still get the fiber from them just not the healthy fats! To get enough vegan omega 3 I just recommend getting 2-3 tbsp per day of ground flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds or 1/4 cup of walnuts, so you could eat your whole flax and get it from another seed! Or you could just take an algae-based omega 3 supp ☺️

[@AngelicVirgo]

Fleur want camera do you use for your vlogs? I'm very impressed with River using chopsticks like a pro and her pincer grasps skills are spot on.

[@sandragonzalezmexico3788]

Your Kitchen is Beautiful, looove your free ser and fridge

[@84stephenie]

Love your vlogs so much! And your family is just adorable! Can I ask where your floral animal plates are from? They are divine! Xx

[@cathleenhoward5229]

Silver lining of lockdown ... Fleur vlogs!
