Queeen you're killing it. A lot of people struggle with one hat and you're currently wearing so many (and still crushing). Absolutely LOVE your vlogs and the fact you're making time to film an already busy life is hectic 💕 Also wisdom teeth recovery is tough.. Sending love and good vibes xx

[@christagreene4194]

For sure! I can't believe someone would say that. Wisdom tooth removal can be awful. Ellie is killing it! She took a vacation while recovering, besides that she does get up and go...always. Momming and working like a boss

[@magnoliapearson2461]

The reactions to the summer I turned pretty were SO REAL 😂😂😂 team Conrad forever!!!

[@michelleduncan3911]

Ditch the extensions, you look fab 💕. You just don’t realize you’re running a whole clothing brand 🫨 that’s an extremely hard job! So I think you are doing a fantastic job; don’t beat yourself up. Take breaks, it’s necessary to make it to the finish line. Enjoyed the video 🥰

[@Mariangela.L]

What an amazing house your best friend has. And a true friend as well, helping in difficult times ❤

[@corinnedove]

Love your vlogs ❤ Would be fun to see a vlog focused on each person/being you are close to- vlog where you and Bowie have a day together/him playing, you and sister trip/visit, you and 🐶, date night/parenting with husband, zimis first year, etc… Also house build (and yard/land scaping) start to finish! Your aesthetic/design q + a, focus on how that comes up, how you make decisions, your style etc. how it’s evolving Vlog about a goal you set for the week and it unfolding throughout that week Vlog of relaxed weekend at home/staycation Vlog of momlife, q + a or just your current views of having two and what’s shifted/become clear/different vs same before and after becoming a mom

[@jacquie5730]

I love your weekly routine videos ! Keep them coming while not feeling overwhelmed , actually , you are my favorite vlogger xx

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ErikaDeeb]

I just wanted to say I’m sorry you’re getting sick all the time and feeling burnt out, I have had a lot of health struggles myself and the only thing that has helped me personally is going from cooked vegan to raw vegan 4 months ago and haven’t been sick since! Just lots of fruits, juices, smoothies, big salads, avo, etc. And I used to get sick multiple times a month. Just thought I would pass on what helped me sm 💖💖

[@shutterfly027]

Loving the ideas and textures you’ve chosen. Personally I’d do a lighter wood or white for the cabinets, would look lush.

[@missrotf]

Girl idk how u do it. If it feels like u have it together u don’t. So technically ur doing great! Thank u for even sharing these parts of ur life 💜

[@lisbethxslander]

We just started Marley spoon again. I am a meat eater and my partner veg, so find these meal kits tricky. But it’s cool now because u can add halloumi or tofu with your order at the end so we can mix it. Also got a fruit box. We never have time to shop, with full time jobs and kids… even online shopping takes ages. So end up buying take out a lot. So excited to see it this helps.

[@amywoods4876]

Love your what I eat in a day videos, always get so much inspo from you! 🌟

[@jessieoreilly4784]

I’d love for you to chat about the business and how you chose how to Order things

[@jb12ja34]

Would also love to see a video of your current skin care and makeup.

[@cloudcastlesky]

heyy angel….I feel like you need to be SUPER careful with light coloured travertine in shower /wet areas (particularly the flooring in these areas ) ….I had it in apartment in Sydney & whilst it was super aesthetic at first, it can stain & can attract black mould if not cured , installed & sealed ✨meticulously✨… Really quiz your tradies on this ! I do not ever want burst the bubble of enthusiasm but please be careful with it bc it can stain like teeth & then will require replacing or regular chemical maintenance… lots of love & luck 🌻🌞🔆✨🍀

[@lyndalltheo3985]

I second this! ^^

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

Thank you, what do you recommend instead? 😬😬 I’m still tossing up options

[@lyndalltheo3985]

@@ElsasWholesomeLife travertine is just super porous because it’s so soft, so it needs to be primed really well! But if done so I think it’s fine.. just has little imperfections in it which need to be puttied up. Limestone is another one which has a similar look and flat surface.

[@rebeccalindeberg6801]

Honestly Ellie your a wonder woman ! 🙌❤️

[@shellcooper9454]

Your new house is huge 😍 can't wait to see it finished 😍

[@jb12ja34]

Love the long vlogs!!!! Would love to see a video of what zimi eats in a week🤍🤍🤍

[@Jasmine-hh3kt]

Loving the look you’re going for with your new house! Love Bowie’s orange & yellow cake. You’re doing an amazing job with everything you have on your plate. I don’t think any of us ever have a perfectly balanced life. You just learn to prioritise and make the most of each day. I’ve been looking for Tony’s chocolate ever since Alex’s spot on your vlog. I found it at our local Harris Farm. We are all now as obsessed as Alex. It is SO good! I hope you’re on the mend!

[@alanadorris1274]

You are so brave! I'm sorry you've constantly been riddled with all the sicknesses and surgeries! You deserve a rest. I'm glad staying with Hayley you could get a tiny bit of time away even though the circumstances weren't great! So excited for some of the things you have coming up to look forward to

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

Thank you so much!

[@LeilaRobinson-zm7et]

Love your what i eat in a day/week video and love the longer content videos too 😊❤

[@karolinai]

Love you guys! Always watching from Melbourne ❤

[@christinewallace4578]

Really enjoyed this video, I think it's amazing what you do, and with two young kids! House building with a tiny one can be very stressful, I remember this! But it's definitely the right time to do it! We all go through stages when it all seems overwhelming, thanks for being so open about it. I am fascinated with the way you set up and run your business, I love seeing the warehouse and the way it all works! I would love to know more about how you were able to set up such an amazing niche in a crowded market, your designs and curated items are so unique. Did it just follow on naturally from your cookbooks and travels? Did anyone in your family have experience of running a business like this, or did you just go out there and do it yourself? I think you are awesome! Oh, and have you ever thought of opening a bricks and mortar shop one day? xx

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

Thank-you!!! Appreciate that. Nope, no one in my circle has a business like this so I didn’t really have any inside knowledge, we’ve learnt soo much as we go. Many mistakes, many successes. Running a business is hard work but it’s satisfying and rewarding at the same time. It’s just been a natural thing that’s evolved from my cookbooks and living in Bali. I’d love a bricks and mortar store, it’s just such an unknown to me- like whether it would be successful, or finding the perfect location 🤗 it’s a dream though!

[@Daisyh09]

Those tiles are so gorgeous but my parents had travatene (?) all throughout their house and after a few years they had so many chips and cracks in them! Just a heads up x

[@helena003]

Do you still live in Byron Ellie? and if so, would it be a possibility to see more of it in the vlogs like cute cafes and beaches?

[@nicoleralston2837]

When did the live in Byron?

[@ellegreen4492]

She's on the Gold Coast

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

I’ve never lived in Byron, I live Southern GC

[@helena003]

Omg sorry! For some reason I thought you and Lauren grew up in Byron, I don’t know where I got that from 🤦‍♀️

[@clearancemcjagger8350]

Byron’s shit 👏🏻

[@thealiceftw]

can't you do more cooking/what i eat videos again? xx miss them!

[@Sarah-lq3us]

Looong Vlog yei!!!! 💚💚

[@heathercotching6293]

Travertine sink will be sooo hard to clean! Would advise ceramic internal sink

[@penlennon3576]

i love that you're choosing practicality as well as what you really love. remember it won't be that long before the kids are staining their bathroom with makeup, hair colours..........hahahahah

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

😂😂 so true! I even opted away from a tiled Roman bath because I thought about Bowie and his bath bombs hahaha

[@lisbethxslander]

I think you might have the world record for saying travertine 😊

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

😂

[@amysworld_xx]

Hey ellie is your family still vegan? would love a video on why you changed back to a normal diet ☺

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

Mostly vegetarian 😀

[@DD-qr9vo]

Hello ♥️ can you please ask your bestie where she got her green checkered blanket from? Thanks

[@melm8035]

Where abouts is that cute purple glass mug from? ☺️

[@pattypedemonte5980]

I don’t know why you use so much natural travertine!! All I can think off is the work that will give you!! Sealing it every few years!!! Use porcelain look a like tiles!! Come to Nerang tiles!!

[@phyllisvinorich]

Love your vlogs, you are a super woman 💪🏼 best wishes from Germany 😘

[@dandelionlovemonkey]

" its going to be sensational" ...lol!

[@lewislouise]

Thanks and love the real talk Ell 🤍 I'm always amazed by how you pull it all while being a mom to two very young kids. You're such an inspiration really 💪🏻 You've seen me said this before and I'll say it again, I look up to you especially if I were to have my own kids 🤍

[@MonsterPill]

Bowie falling off his chair 😭

[@JessMancell]

Where is your dress and cardigan from 22:09! Please! so gorgeous

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

Dress is princess Polly and cardi is from nasty gal haha there’s a similar one on my Depop account in green

[@summerbear4359]

Hi ellie 😊 where is your gold ring with the rectangle diamond from? I really want to purchase one xx

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

I think it’s from temple of the sun 👌🏻

[@ittlebillit2477]

Something to think about- the checkered pattern is cute but very trendy, so it will probably cycle out of style in a few years. The tiles are beautiful though.

[@shutterfly027]

Where’s the white and green chequered blanket from? ❤

[@nicoleralston2837]

Obviously wholesome store

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

I can’t think what blanket you mean 🤔

[@salleadempsey4089]

The blanket that was on Hayley’s couch ?

[@laurensmolcic4806]

where is your purple cardi from? Love!

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

It’s from “nasty gal” haha it’s fairly old

[@CaseyWiggin]

You are a super mom and a super women ❤❤

[@natalies3962]
