Elle Florence on KZbin is the online, lighthearted diary of a corporate attorney by day, and a KZbin creator and fine jewelry designer on the side. I share this online content for a few reasons close to my heart over my last decade of KZbin:
1. To encourage women to start businesses that reflect their passions and personalities, without being afraid to flourish outside of the traditional corporate box.
2. To share some of my favorite aesthetic things that brighten my day.
3. To express the creative side of my personality, the fruits of how I spend my time creating new designs, and to celebrate local businesses I enjoy going to and supporting.

Yum, all the food looked so good! And you were using Tillamook cheese for your grilled sandwich, reminded me of all the fun we had visiting the Tillamook Cheese Factory in Oregon! 💛So happy to hear your pregnancy is going well! Have a beautiful weekend, my friend!

[@commonerbydefault]

Elle, thank you so much for your videos..love the meal ideas.

[@HoloHoloAdventures]

Yum! I love seeing the variety of foods that you eat. It’s one of my favorite videos from you.

[@84amward]

You are stunning Elle! I was so excited to see this video pop up on my feed. Ive had two pregnancies in the past 3 years, and I’m so glad you are taking a good probiotic! They make the world of difference in pregnancy. I also loved the 8sheeps magnesium lotion to help with sleep and restless legs in the third trimester. Those two things were my essentials!

[@dancing1133]

You're absolutely glowing!! I'm obsessed! Thanks for the food ideas!

[@taraa7655]

This was such a lovely video, thank you for sharing and for great food inspiration as always. Happy to see you glowing with your bump😍

[@karenvaladez589]

You look so happy and calm and that is amazing that you don't have many pregnancy symptoms. I bought the frozen chocolate banana slices you recommended and they are amazing and good price. Always enjoy ur wholesome content.

[@behappykuma9739]

Congratulation Elle! wish you safe and happy pregnancy! I miss your vlog and weekly outfit videos. take care! you are beautiful and inspiring

[@shannonk.5172]

You're looking so well! Loved the vlog 🥰all the meals look delicious! Also I saw the other big news on your instagram, congratulations! So happy for your little family ❤️

[@sarahs1212]

Carnitas freeze very well. I recommend freezing before broiling and defrosting and broiling upon taking them out of the freezer. Thank you for your recipes, I make your zucchini pasta every autumn since you posted it. I actually paused this video halfway through and made your exact grilled cheese and spinach salad. My end of summer fruit desert recommendation is frozen grapes. Surprisingly simple and delicious.

[@becuteforme]

Wow, you're going to be such a fun and loving mom! Your partner is so lucky. 🥰

[@GaygayGates]

Yay!! New video I’ve been binge watching on my days off from work 😂❤

[@rosedewittbukater5763]

Elle, you are like the incarnation of femininity. I’m so happy for you! You’re going to be an amazing mama!

[@elombetv6429]

My favourite videos from you always what I eat in a day

[@alexandrachartrand4056]

Comme toujours, c’est un réel plaisir de regarder tes vidéos! 😊

[@kalinaasenova9005]

I love your What I eat videos as they are always about so much more than food! Also, yes to freezer meal baby prep food videos! I'm pregnant a couple of months behind you and would be lovely/helpful to see how you're preparing for your baby's arrival :) A question - do you plan on doing vlogmas? The way you do vlogmas is my favourite and I'll be sad to miss it this year but I will fully understand 😅 And a random comment - I love your butter dish, so Italian!

[@n_factorial]

I was not expecting to be reminded of The Swan Princess today but thank you for the nostalgia 😂 her dresses were amazing. Glad you’re feeling so well!

[@ashleyzielke3072]

Keep the videos coming! (When you find time, of course) Love it :) I watched Swan Princess as a child! Finally someone else who knows that one!

[@virgoj88]

Yay I've been waiting for an Elle update!

[@ve.o.]

This video made me so hungry!!! 🤤 you look stunning Elle!!

[@teodorasergeeva9742]

Your hair looks very beautiful :)

[@CkCmilliemoo]

I’m going to try to make a Brie & green apple grilled cheese with a fresh hard crust bread. Happy you’re doing well during this wonderful journey ♥️💜

[@pat9577]

A delicious suggestion for your grilled cheese …. After grilling and as you eat it, try a little jam (I prefer grape) on top. Oh my goodness, it’s delicious!!!

[@elizabethstreetman4970]

Would definitely like to see how to make bone broth! Wonderful video!

[@suzannehall5200]

It’s really good to hear that you are doing well. Be very careful about the exercising on concrete. Up until I was around 40 I was a dancer and for a few years I was having tap lessons in a basement studio on a concrete floor. After that I got so many injuries I had to give it up and the strain on my joints is causing me a great deal of problems. My knees are completely wreaked and I have had stress fractures in my shins and feet. Joint pressure can come back to haunt you big time in the future.

[@ElleFlorence]

Thanks for letting me know Suzanne. For a variety of reasons including the concrete and being side tracked by wedding planning, I haven’t gone back to that class. I’m planning on trying to find something more gentle indoors like yoga, even if it’s not prenatal only 💗

[@cynthiaraimondi4767]

100% worth it to meal prep for when baby comes! I made baked ziti and had crockpot meals ready and it was so nice to have for the first two weeks. Third trimester nesting mode is coming soon 😉

[@ElleFlorence]

Post-wedding I plan to cook up a storm if I can stand up long enough haha!

[@maplemilky]

Yay, new video! I love listening to you talking. And all the food looks really good, Elle! ❤

[@valerieboileau8033]

Thanks for sharing, Elle!!

[@doochow9962]

I am 39 weeks pregnant and you made me want grilled cheese bad haha. I just made some and a bowl of butternut squash soup 😋. I hope you continue to have a safe and healthy pregnancy! Good luck to you. My first baby is coming any day now.

[@ElleFlorence]

Congratulations!

[@doochow9962]

@@ElleFlorence you too!!

[@susanvelez6534]

Yes Elle I struggled when I moved from the Bay Area to Oregon when my girl was 8 months old. She just turned 20 today 😢. I still don’t have friends here it’s very strange. Oh honey my trooper please no concrete please darling

[@ginamiller6754]

I would love to see you make bone broth! It’s something I haven’t done yet.

[@staroliva6502]

Elle you look so adorable..... And eating very healthy....

[@danaflanagan8095]

I would love to see your new home tour

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

I don’t like whole wheat pasta or brown rice either!! Glad I’m not alone there.

[@rosecolouredglasses]

Could I ask how you found that print of the Hill House nap dress? I missed out on it when it was released

[@ElleFlorence]

Look on EBay!

[@rosecolouredglasses]

@@ElleFlorence OK I will, thank you!

[@babya9929]

You should be careful with brazil nuts because they are very high in selenium and can be toxic in high amounts. I think you're only supposed to have 1 per day! Hope that helps :) Take care!

[@cdani9972]

I believe it’s more like 50/day.

[@redweddy]

You are absolutely right. Adults should have up to 400 mcg of selenium per day. 1 Brazil nut can contain up to 90 mcg. Adults should not eat more than 5 Brazil nuts a day especially when we get selenium from other components of our diet and our supplements

[@babya9929]

@@redweddy Yes exactly! 5 is probably max, drs wont reccomend any more than a few per day.

[@redweddy]

Love your butter dish! Where is it from?

[@ElleFlorence]

eBay! I found a seller who imports china from southern Italy.

[@redweddy]

@@ElleFlorence Would you mind sharing which eBay seller? Thank you!

[@elif.nalbant]

I wish you have an easy pregnancy. I like watching your vlogs, I feel like I rested mentally after watching them 😄. Also I was surprised with your coming out with pregnancy when I thought you were single. We internet people are really clueless huh, lol. I hope you make an video or mention it in a video. Like, how you met your current partner and some romance stuff ☺? Pregnancy reactions and how you and your partner felt after learning the baby, etc. and I want to know your mother's reaction too! I really love your mother, she looks so sweet. Anyway thanks for the video🌸.

[@ElleFlorence]

I haven’t been single for 2 years haha, but I have kept our relationship intentionally very private so I’m not surprised at your reaction haha 💕

[@lucycabral9069]

You hair is darker. Yeah, I love it like that

[@merypaez7456]

Hola qur hermosa te ves bien elegante y lindo collar linda casa y linda ropa que tienes puesta me encanta la ideas de las comidas que das muchas por compartirlo muchas bendicionés para ti y tu familia saludos desde Chile

[@kerrimosich6217]

After your baby comes join a mom and baby group. My baby was born in puyallup and I went to a group that met in the hospital. I also made my first ‘mom friends’ in birth class. Attending the same story/play/mom and baby group week after week will absolutely help you meet friends.

[@Skyebright1]

next year= 100k!

[@rhythmicelegance4670]

😺

[@leens4190]

I used to love this channel, and I appreciate that your life has changed now with becoming a mom, but the content is so motherhood focused and sporadic these days that this isn’t a channel for me anymore.

[@ElleFlorence]

Fair enough - all the best to you.

[@annaburke8537]

I didn't intuitively feel like I needed to drink coffee daily, but I really miss it. Now in my 3rd trimester I can't have it at all because I'll have heartburn for the rest of the day...I'm past my due date at this point and ready to go back to "normal" 🥲 also I understand the fridge complaint, this apartment I'm in has the fridge on the bottom and I can barely get anything out. 🙂
