WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON | Lydia Elise Millen

[@Dr_Dee_Sankofa]

My dear Lydia - what a wonderful book. I'm a 61 year old Black woman in the US and have been following your journey since you lived in the previous house. I remember the day Linx came into your life. It's been a joy to witness your growth and confidence. I listened to the audio version on a 5 hour flight and your voice was so calming and your words deeply moving. Well done! Looking forward to watching you and Ali continue to be Evergreen.

Pro tip. Always use an oil last. The moisturiser that you're using won't be effective because it can't penetrate your skin under the oil barrier you have. So any benefits the cream has, you won't get as a result of layering it in the wrong order. So it goes serum, moisturiser, then oil last 😊

[@GraceVJohnson]

Evening 👋🏻 I’ve almost finished your book and audio book (yes I am one of those people who bought both 😅). It’s been absolutely captivating and unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Thank you for putting it out there in the world and sharing your experiences and advice. Sending best wishes x

That Black Dress is absolutely beautiful and looked beautiful on you as usual 🖤 Well done on the Evergreen, I received mine last week and was excited to find it all wrapped up beautifully and signed. Can’t wait to read it, once I’ve finished my book I’m reading at the moment 💚

[@chinhgrant5759]

Wow I finished your Audio book and it really was exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life. Wanted to say Big Thank you! I’m very grateful for your time and effort in putting all your experience and thoughts into a book. Been feeling in a funky mood for the past month, neither happy or sad just mehh, plodding along with work, home, work more routine. Finding and designing my Evergreen path.

[@newfoundland3030]

Lydia, wow. You look like old Hollywood royalty in that dress to the Pride of Britain Awards. Also, your Suzzana London dress is perfection. Thank you for mentioning ordering your book from Amazon UK for us North American followers. I just canceled my Canadian one to get the UK one quicker. I don't know you personally, but I am so proud of your journey and this massive accomplishment of writing your book. You are surrounded by people who adore you, Ali and Carrie especially. So very happy for you, congratulations!

[@Christine_Lawson]

I signed up for audible and am listening to Evergreen, am on "Spring" I cried a bit in "Winter" I had to rush to the loo for privacy 🥺really loving the book I can relate ❤ very consoling and encouraging, privileged to enter your world for 5 hours ❤❤

[@andraskewes5804]

I have listened to the audio book 3 times and I am patiently waiting for the delivery of the paper book sooner than later. I am in America and ordered from the UK. I about had a fit when I got the email from the Royal Mail letting me know that my book was on it's way. Lydia - you have saved my life with your channel, your wit, your wisdom and perseverance. Thank you so much for just being you. 🥂 congratulations!

Oh Lydia, I got butterflies for you as you walked up that staircase to the stage!! You did such an amazing job speaking to all those people! ❤

[@MARTYNEJHARRIS]

I’ve been reading your book and also have the audio! Albeit had it free on some audible credit. I’ve been reading the book and only listening to the audio book as far as the chapters have taken me. I’ve loved some of the sections so far. Very thought provoking. Hats off to you Lydia! Thank you xxx

[@rdt8738]

I have to comment that your book is so beautifully written. I have been taken aback by how wonderful it is. I'm listening to the audio version of it. I go back and relisten to chapters cause there's so much beauty, life and love to it. You did such a great job writing it and your voice is quite soothing. Many congratulations on a well accomplished piece of work!

Hi Lydia I am half way through Evergreen on audio and loving it. I am a therapist who will be recommending it to my clients as I feel it would be so helpful for them ❤

[@sarahwulff2820]

Hi Lydia💚I have followed you for many years but special the last year you have really inspired me, I can relate more to your “slower” more grounded nature integrated lifestyle. I have just ordered evergreen and even though I’m not much of a book reader I am very much looking forward to reading it💚You are now the only KZbinr I watch and I wish you all the best, BIG CONGRATULATIONS!🍾💚 I was in Israel when it all started and was supposed to live there until Christmas, but decided to get evacuated 2 days ago. It meant a lot to me you mentioned it and I watched your videos to find calm and some sense of normality during it all happening. I sadly had to leave my boyfriend down there and I don’t know when we will be reunited:(

[@corinnamaryphillips]

So sorry to hear about you being separated from your boyfriend, that must be so difficult for you. Sending you much love.

[@heidil.4651]

Lydia! You looked absolutely stunning!!!!! My God you looked beautiful! I am so proud of you!!! Lol! I mean, who am I right?!?! But I AM! You’ve accomplished so much! I’m so happy to see you this happy and confident!

[@corinnamaryphillips]

Lydia, it was so exciting to come see you at your book launch in London you spoke so well and Fi was fantastic at asking all the best questions. I felt like fate was very kind to me when I had the great fortune to sit next to your party on the train home after the event...that not only made my night, but my whole month!! I am thoroughly enjoying reading Evergreen. Celebrating each season has long been close to my heart, and in many respects I feel we are kindred spirits with similar affections for Anne of Green Gables, Pride & Prejudice (the BBC version is my all time favourite production of it) and Downton Abbey to name but a few. Congratulations on a wonderful event, and a beautiful book that I will cherish in the years to come 🥰🍀

[@alisonmannion4648]

Thank you Lydia. Your book has helped me so much to get through a difficult couple of weeks of illness. It is a very beautiful & gentle read filled with positivity & life tips.

Eyeshadow makes my eyelids itch too. Sometimes the eye makeup doesn’t bother me but sometimes it does.

I have found that certain colors of shadow iritate my eyes more. Anything with pink or red are the worst. I think it is a dye pigment thing.

[@ellisowen4567]

I’ve been watching you Lydia for YEARSSS and though your aesthetics and mine are completely different now (I hate gardening) 😂 my absolute favourite thing about you is your attitude towards diet, it’s incredibly rare in this influencer era. You eat what you want when you want, you got excited to say you could do your food shops at Waitrose, something I’ll never be able to afford to do but that’s very down to earth, the excitement. But back to your relationship with food, I’m recovering from an ED and most influencers today are restrictive in some manner but you? You want a pre-show burger with cheese and ketchup or a roast or simply to make an excercise a leisurely walk, you do it. Thank you ❤

Or do you just leave it sort of dewy and glowy? I love the way your makeup turned out. You looked stunning and I hope you had a great time! Love from Salt Lake City. 🩵🩵🩵

I m so sorry but it's juste not normal, it's global warming, and it's everywhere.

[@karishma992]

Hi Lydia, I'm a newer fan to your content and binge-watching your YT videos has been so much fun over the last few weeks. I don't know who or what entity is involved in choosing the titles for your videos but I think it needs to be re-evaluated. I think the generic or click-baity titles are genuinely doing your videos a disservice because your content is SO enjoyable and alot more engaging than the titles make them out to be. I think it just cheapens the actual content of your videos and is also really confusing because it's hard to know what the video is going to be about especially seeing as you have multiple videos with similar titles like "this is the end" "what's going on" "what i've had done". I don't think the titles need to be super stuffy or curated like other platforms but even just an accurate vlog like description of what is actually in the video would be awesome! I'm still a loyal fan will continue to watch your stuff but I just think you're better than these titles! (also if this has already been addressed and acted upon I apologise! like i said i recently discovered your magical content and have literally been binge watching it from the time of your wedding) 😊😊
