Working Hard on Our Cornish Cottage & A Week of Our Life in Cornwall

[@almostbassetts23]

My husband and I were married at 21 years old, 17 years ago, and we have learned that the little stuff doesn't matter. You learn to adapt to the other person's quirks and they start to bother you less and less. Marriage is a journey, everyday, good and bad, but if you love them you push through the bad and celebrate the good.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

I love this ❤️🥰

[@almostbassetts23]

Thanks! Love your channel!

It's so good to shine a light onto tracking our hormones/cycles. We are so deeply affected by drops and rises in hormones. The more educated we are, the healthy we are. Thank you.

[@stefaniegalea6810]

I recently started taking more time to track my cycle, and it has made such a difference. I can boost myself with certain foods or vitamin’s and even just staying more hydrated on the build up to my period has helped. I like to drink raspberry leaf tea every evening for a few days before my period too. My menstrual pains and moods have definitely improved. I also like the fact I’m more in control rather than it turning up and making me feel crap !.

[@loredepalo6863]

A recipe we picked up in Southern Italy last Christmas is… 1 15 oz can of fava beans, 1/2 cup cooked bitter greens (chicory or mustard greens, etc), juice of half a lemon, fresh garlic stems or wild garlic about 1/2 cup or so and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Blend thoroughly in a food processor till smooth. It’s a great appetizer. Hope you like it.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Sounds so so good!

[@JenJen-ve4di]

The first outfit with the white pants and the top your friend made looks gorgeous on you (of course u always do but with this you looked so comfortable and feeling like yourself). Just wanted to comment that :) I am moving and traveling soon and rewatching your entire minimalism playlist back from when you lived with your parents before Asia for decluttering motivation, and its making me mega-relate as I‘m in a similar situation 😊 wish u a nice week!! ❤

[@emilycarr2983]

Loved seeing the scenery along your drive

[@annwatt6756]

What an incredible team you two are. Aaaand...that red checked blouse is to die for...LOVE it!!! ♥

[@andrealandsburg]

The office looks so good with the fresh paint. Good job you two!❤

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Thanks!

[@cantocant2346]

Roxie is such a little baby 🥰 I love seeing her get loved on!

[@briangenny8670]

Loved the vlog, well done with the painting the colour is lovely!

It’s not bickering, just proving my point 😂😂😂 love it

[@michellehooper661]

Lovely vlog and the office painting is going well, you are so brave up on the roof! Hope you’ve had a lovely Sunday and have a good week next week ❤

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Hehe it was scary! Thank you, you too!

[@IOSALive]

Madeleine Olivia, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

[@nenehbuswell]

Sounds like you'd like iyengar yoga. I practice this and they hold the poses for a long time, plus it's making sure you are doing them correctly, slowly and not injuring yourself. Highly recommend!

[@Jacquale345]

Girl Salt Lake is WILD! Legit every time I watch I’m in shock at what’s happening 🤣 love from TN!

[@KarenPiggott]

Another fabulous video. Love the interaction between yourself & Alex. Glad I am not the only one that loves red lipstick, I have several 😂 Coral reds suit me best as I have neutral to warm skin undertones. Red lipstick really suits you, I always think red is glamorous and has a lovely vintage vibe.

[@lisasiegner7137]

This was such a good video 🤩 I love when you do a week in the life 💕

[@dogood7337]

Maddie, you have such BEAUTIFUL hands and that bright red nail polish looks great on you.

[@jacqui-xh2er]

Mondays outfit looks so cute on you! 😊

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Thank you!

[@claredobbs5488]

Loved watching this video! 😊

[@gailannkimbrough]

You have so much in this video I want to chat about but I'll start with this comment. 🥰 Spring/Autums are similar colour pallettes, and Summer/Winter are similar. Summer, for example, can be a pale pink, which also can look good on a winter, but a Winter can pull off a really bright pink that might wash out a Summer. The quickens test is white. If you look good in a bright white and / or a silver white, that's Summer/Winter. If you look good in a soft white, a peachy or gold white, that's Spring/ Autumn. We all have a shade of red. Apple red, blue undertone reds, Summer/Winter. Brick reds, orange reds, Chinese red, Spring/Autumn. In my opinion, you are a Winter, but because you are young and pale, you can pull off most Summer colors with no problem 🥰 I'm a soft Winter. I was once a full Winter but because my hair is no longer brown/black but silver, I lean a little toward Summer colours, but my base colors are very much Winter 😊

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Oooh this is all so interesting! Thank you for sharing all of this info!

[@gailannkimbrough]

@MadeleineOlivia I have a good friend who is a colour consultant 🥰

[@loisinbloom]

I'm always soooo jealous seeing your wild garlic recipes - I can't seem to find any near me in West Cornwall, will keep on hunting! The office is looking great :)

[@beinspired31]

Omg - the red lip! ❤❤❤

[@MadeleineOlivia]

👄 💄

[@francineh.7825]

I'll have to watch again later as I missed some parts as I'm working on a deadline due tomorrow but had to watch a bit as you calm my nerves. The painting is coming along nicely! And that matte red lipstick was stunning!

[@suzettebristol3683]

The office building looks beautiful in that color!

[@JBotch]

I'm with you on the directions thing. I like to know a decent amount of time before hand where I'm turning next. That's a normal person thing to do. Used to cause a lot of car arguments between me and my wife. Now we put on the GPS for traffic more than anything when just driving around town. Have a great weekend guys! 🍻☀️🌴

[@MadeleineOlivia]

It’s so common I think with couples haha

[@cantocant2346]

I'm a Deep Winter and I suspect you are a Winter. I think your coloring is closest to Kirstie Allsopp. The shirt with the maroon check (that your friend made you) is such a great color on you. I think plums, purples, deep saturated colors flatter you so well.

[@Shopaholic2000]

I think teal and bright and dark greens might suit Madeleine too, it would be interesting to see you have a colour consultation, its made my life choosing clothes so easy and the odd time I've wandered from my palette although I've like the colour I've never felt comfortable wearing the garment. I think you instinctively know when the most flattering colours just brings you to life.

[@karenbudnick]

Winters look great in jewel colors❤

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Great vlog Maddie. We are liking the color on the office.❤

[@ellaa5528]

Not sure if you have already posted a video but would love to know your skincare routine especially nighttime your skin looks so nice x

[@pattijo318]

Hi, Maddie, I used to do color analysis back in the day, and as you asked for our opinions, and based on your coloring as it looks on screen, I agree with those who say you are a Winter. 😊❄️

[@hannahx212]

I recently discovered Yin Yoga With Katie here on KZbin and it's so yummy to do at home, she has a bedtime yin yoga challenge on right now ❤

[@brinawidmer]

the red looks incredible on you. I can't do reads or most pinks. I'm really an orange and coral person.

I can’t wait to see your clothes declutter video 😊

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Coming Wednesday!

[@KiraHelenRose]

Your wild garlic (ramps) season seems so long. I live in the northeast US and ours is so short. Probably because our winters drag on into May most years. Lol!

[@imi.jum1]

Finding trousers that don’t graze my ankles and are comfortable AND flattering, is yet to happen 😂😂 I did wonder how you find suitable trousers as you are taller than me. NA-KD jeans were quite good, maybe vinted has some !

[@mansoor3159]

Thank God you are always there for us Madeleine!Not sure what we would do without your vlogs♥️♥️🥺🥺

[@jackieangove3419]

Would it be possible for Alex to give a making bread vlog as when you slice into his bread just looks the best ❤

[@loisinbloom]

Also I've been really interested in colour analysis lately, and I'm a winter (self identified) - and I have the exact same feelings about the bright colours in the winter - I tend to go for more navy/emerald type colours - and have lots of nice greens which aren't my colours but I buy them anyway because I love them. Maybe I just need to go for some of the brighter colours and just get used to wearing them as it's just a little out of my colour comfort zone.

[@loisinbloom]

Should have just commented at the end of the video haha, but omgosh that hourglass lip is gorgeous!! Adding to my wishlist - stunning colours

[@gaylefisher7045]

So glad to see you ❤

Back in the day, our sat nav (gps)was the moon for nighttime driving. So when I told my beloved of 46 years that we were going the wrong way, a little argument ensued. For 30 miles. “The moon is supposed to be behind us,” I implored. “I know where I’m going,” husband proclaimed. Thanks for the memory. 🤣 Also I came to another room so my dog wouldn’t read this over my shoulder. Roxie is cuter than ChloeBelle. There. I said it. Be well, lovely little family. ❤️

[@audreysutherland4739]

Roxie, what a sweet🥰

[@Angela-jn7iv]

I love your videos! I’m and Anglophile living in Florida, but would love to be living in England. I love the light blue you have on the left side and that small patch to the right side of the window, what paint color is that? I’m looking for that color for my house exterior.

[@Angela-jn7iv]

An* not and. 😛

[@MadeleineOlivia]

We tested quite a few colours from Farrow & Ball! It was a few different colours! Which one?

[@Angela-jn7iv]

@@MadeleineOlivia the big area to the left of the window, which looks like it kind of matches the smaller area to the right of the window, the lightest blue

Great job Maddie

[@rebekah3483]

I say DO NOT worry about "what season" or "what your colors" are! I say wear what you love and what makes you feel good! Just saying!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

I agree! But I also find it a lot of fun!!

[@rebekah3483]

@@MadeleineOlivia That's 100% great! I was just meaning more or less to not limit yourself if you find something you love and want to wear it!

What’s that hang drum instrumental piece at 13:40 Maddie? Loved it … was it picked up by the flute piece later on ? Do share ..

[@healingbergamot1389]

I was watching Alex stirring the soup with his mouth and was like "Yeah, that's exactly how I feel after upper body training day" xD

[@karin9373]

I loved the matte lipstick. It felt very 1940s. Not that I would know 😂 but it looked gorgeous. And I also realised that I can’t afford it.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Thank you!

[@alexandracarey1472]

You should do a collaboration with Gaz Oakley! He just did vegan recipes with wild garlic too.

[@irismeeow]

48:47 this made me laugh so much

[@MadeleineOlivia]

He is a joker

[@ClaireMccarty]

Sorry what was the film called please? Sounds brilliant x

Anatomy of a fall

[@hanelimaro]

I still think you could be Bright Spring! Look at Michelle Dockery for example, she’s someone who is very pale and has dark hair but is a Bright Spring. She has neutral undertones, freckles, and warm brown eyes and hair - similar to you! Only a color specialist will be able to tell you for sure. 🌸❤️

[@cherylnewman9098]

While you are looking at help with colors and material textures take a look at Dressing Your Truth. Each type has warm and cool colors. It is quite fascinating and based on your facial profile and energy movement.

[@TheLadyPrefers2Save]

Do you have a suggestion for an onion substitute-I’m allergic. I wanted your opinion, as so many of your wonderful recipes call for onion, onion powder, etc.. Thank you.

[@caitlinbenallack835]

For folks living in the United States, you may want to use caution around period tracking apps. My understanding is that information can be subpoenaed as evidence of a terminated pregnancy if you are living in a place with abortion restrictions.

[@rachelspoon4741]

Which lipstick do you find less transferable, and longer wear, Maddie? The barminerals courage lipstick or the lipstick/balm from hourglass? My birthday is coming up and want to treat myself ❤

[@rachelspoon4741]

P.s. the office outside is a gorgeous colour you chose so well!

[@gim7559]

Colour analysis sounds like a good idea, but just looked up the cost & £240 seems very expensive.

[@malinengel1242]

Get your colours done with Karen brailey online, she is the pro at it and actually explains the science behind it! I agree you look neutral/cool undertoned, but since your skin is so pale I think of the cool seasons you could probably be a Summer? Especially if you Like the coolness of Winter colours, but not the brightness. Summer colours are cool but muted. I have learned that a lot of people gravitate towards autumn colours (warm and muted) because it has been trending the last couple years. With the warmth in your Hair, I only see this in your lenghts/ends, but that is likely from the sun and you should be looking at your roots which I don't think have warmth naturally.

What does it mean to have a “bank holiday?” Seems like yall have a ton of them each year!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

It’s a holiday/day off work essentially!

[@pattijo318]

I think it's similar to Federal holidays in the US.

[@rebeccagreen692]

I'm not an expert, but I would say you are def Winter with your dark hair and pale skin

I’m sorry but at 35:59 ish did you just randomly call yourself a pig? 😂?
