I was having such an anxious day so I put this on to do alongside some self-care and it’s working wonders.
Watching you curiously observe your habits/choices and reflect but in such a compassionate and kind way towards yourself is so inspiring 🥹 We love to see it 💚
Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable!
Left over pizza is the perfect midnight snack. Cold pizza is the best!
Just found your channel. You are a lovely lady, please don’t worry about what anybody else thinks of you. I am 72 now and spent years and years worrying about what people thought of me. What a waste of time. I really don’t care now, neither should you!xx
Hi Maddie, received my first pair of Vivaia shoes today, I bought the penny loafers using your code, perfect fit, and love them so far. Thank you xxx
give to homeless?
Would you ever consider filming one of your hair appointments in a vlog? And the stylist can explain how they dye your hair? Like what kind of dye you typically go with to cover your grays, and what other products they use, etc?
I’m considering getting mine dyed and I’m trying to learn about it, because I have quite a lot of gray and they’re long, and I don’t want to sacrifice my natural color in the process of having the gray dyed. Would love to see the process you go through and learn about the Aveda products they use at your appointments.
Laddie I keep forgetting I leave my coffee in the microwave to re heat then walk off and forget
I know I’m just a stranger from America but I am SO excited for you two that you’re preparing to start a family! I know you’ll be amazing parents!
Not sure about the UK women’s healthcare but in America, when you’re starting a family, they tell you to get a Pap smear, try for a year and come back if you aren’t successful. I think this is such a disservice! Some things I wish I would’ve been told/encouraged to do was to get a 4-point hormonal panel, a thyroid antibody checkup, and while you’re at it, to test Al as well because you’re already testing right?
Again, take with a grain of salt but in USA healthcare, we have to advocate for ourselves way too much. Don’t let them push you into not taking these tests too, if you decide to look into them. I see these as preparation along with the wonderful vitamins you’re already taking!
Thanks for being you, Maddie ❤
Oh gosh, I just got to the part of the video where you said you were at the Hoxton. You're bringing back memories for me! When I lived in London (2017-2019), I would often go to the lobby of the Hoxton to have coffee and do my grad school work. I always loved that place. When I visited England for the first time in 2016, I envisioned myself hanging out there and doing work as a local in my future, and then it was real. Now, several years post-England-living, I get to be reminded of that life from your video. Thank you! EDIT: OMG PUREZZA!!!!! 🤩 EDIT again: I concur about the Mac n' cheese take, I concur about the pizza take. Okay sorry I'll stop here lol.
There’s nothing like a sandwich with chips soooo delicious! As a New Yorker, I love a good sandwich anytime of day.
That was a really good video.
i) I’m one of your non vegan followers who absolutely swears by several recipes in your cookbook and it really filled a gap in my repertoire cooking healthy vegan comfort food.
ii) that’s massively brave of you sharing the stuff about how you are dealing with your eating patterns. I gained loads of weight in my early 20’s because I got spiked with lsd and now have to take antipsychotics, it’s massively traumatised me over the years. The thing to remember is, literally no one I know, specially not women has a healthy relationship with food. Not my mum, not my husbands family, non of my friends, no-one! We live in such a toxic food and beauty standards environment. And genuinely it was brave of you to post what you just posted in this video, but finding peace with food isn’t a crime and if anyone gives you shit about it, it’s them, not you.
iii) I’m really loving the crossover seeing you hanging out with Gittermarie who is also someone I watch, like yourself, for general glamorising a sustainable lifestyle content. 😍
It’s hard to get out of that “deficit” mindset when it comes to food or “finish it because that’s wasteful”
Carbs Are my nightmare, not sure why
I could only have ordered the delicious pizza , no way ever ordering the chips and Mac and cheese as well.
Not sure why
That pizza looked great and you look beautiful as always .
I actually really love your channel because I love ‘cozy’ content and you’re one of the few people within that genre who I feel isn’t promoting a consumerist lifestyle on this platform. This season I’ve unfollowed loads of channels, because of the many ‘halloween shopping’ vlogs people have been putting out, and it doesn’t feel good watching people buy large amounts of stuff they don’t need. I also just find it really irresponsible when people use their platforms that way. Thanks for being a good example!
i just rediscovered your channel after literally about 6-7 years and i’m so happy i have! such cosy relatable content. btw u give me v adhd vibes (i have it too) which probs makes u more relatable too. keep it up
So glad you are naturel an not frightend of havin a bag of crisps you give young girls a good name as so many watch theese utubers who often wont touch sertain foodbthats why there are so many people with eatin dissorders
Go ahead and mow your lawn, even if there’s leaves that will be very healthy for your grass to get them all mulched down in.
And yes, you definitely have to have help. Every fall I have someone come and edge, weed and mulch my beds.
You should have at least three inches of mulch around your plants, bushes, trees . Since it disintegrates during the winter, you need to add 3 inches in the spring.
Then in the spring about late March, I have someone come and cut the plants that you can’t cut in the fall like roses, hydrangeas, etc.
Then April comes and we get all the beds edged, weeded and mulched. I can basically keep up with a little bit of weeding here and there and if I want to move or add a plant. Plant things in pots .
From April to October, I have someone that comes every two weeks to mow trim and blow.
It’s not cheap to do these things, but you can’t do it all and then you get overwhelmed and then it starts looking really rough and then you get depressed.
You want it to look pleasing to the eye, so you will enjoy spending lots of time outside . ❤
Really don’t worry your a deep thinker lovely clothes Please lighten up a head of motherhood there’s no rush enjoy your time naw ❤
❤just love your content please keep up the great work
🤞🤞🍁🍂✨
Me starting this video and grabbing my cold tea 😂
I think what's also important is to remind ourselves that we are implementing more sustainable habits into our lives than most people in our communities do, at least here in the US! I put a lot of pressure on myself to be "perfect", but what does that mean exactly? And also, is perfect the goal? Just knowing that I am doing something that is having a positive impact and that it's more than the general population is what keeps the anxious thoughts at bay. I may not be perfect (and no one is), but I'm doing my best!
Maddie, I know you share a lot about struggling with weight, but do you deal with any health issues as a vegan? I do, and my weight, and there’s not many vegan YouTubers that have any problems. You’re very transparent and realistic
Is all Cathedral City cheese vegan?
Thanks Maddie for sharing your thoughts around your eating behaviours, being vulnerable, it's very healthy and comforting to hear.
I’m a qualified nutritional therapist and I also love wild Nutrition!! Such lovely supplements. And well done for being so proactive about taking your supplements ahead of planning for a family. A lot of people don’t know that we should ideally start supplementing with folate or folic acid around three months before conceiving to help minimise the risks of certain birth defects. I wish more people knew this. Luckily this is on the government agenda as they have just announced that they are introducing additional fortification of folic acid to certain flours to try and help address deficiencies ❤
Hope this helps next time youre away for a few days alone maybe watch this video of yourself before you have meals it might help you make choices that are in tune with youre new self love lifestyle x well done you are getting there
Wild nutrition may be better than many companies. But so few of their supplements are vegan! You have mentioned ones here that are not listed as vegan on their website.
Oh this made me do a little cry as it is so relatable. The thoughts about left over issues, concerns about “letting go on holiday” and then feeling like you’ve over done it and become very aware of your consumption when away, I always experience this, and I am 5 years out of therapy after 8 years in therapy for anorexia. I truly truly appreciate this honesty, it’s so relatable. You got yourself something you were excited for, there’s no shame in that.
Just got back from a 3 day holiday for my bday and have been worrying about the foods I ate, so this is helpful. Sending lots of love xxx
Loving your makeup look at the moment
If your comfortable in your body embrace it , if your not happy and comfortable then do something about it . I feel like us females beat ourselves up and complicate things so much before even trying . Ladies enjoy your food either and enjoy your amazing bodies what ever shape or size it’ only matters what you think and feel about YOU x ❤
Be easy on yourself. The food was to be enjoyed.
Hi there Mandy, you are a lovely person and I am binge watching your vids and really enjoying them. Love your home and garden. You just be you and don’t bother about others. I just don’t understand why people think that they have the right to push their views on us. Just keep doing what you are doing as you are so interesting and so natural. Thank you I will carry on now watching you. Take carexxxxx
We went through secondary infertility because of my PCOS, they recommended my husband took selenium, zinc and fish oils.
The crisp thing is so true haha like never!
I’m a 46 year old, mom of 2, 95% vegan/ 100% vegetarian diet. I watch your channel for the honesty, cozy feel, recipes, beautiful scenery and to see your pretty outfits for inspiration. Thanks for what you do! You have many anonymous friends in the world.
Maddie! Definitely recommend getting some blood work to test basic hormone panel & ultrasound of ovaries/uterus before getting pregnant to see where you stand! Just found out closer to my thirties I have cysts & high testosterone because I never thought to check any of these things. (I’m vegan). It helps to know what our bodies need ❤
This is a very personal comment. A little tip of the fertility topic. If you're not doing it yet, try tracking your period over a few months (no need to comment here 🙂 ). Get an app and just follow the prompts by putting in the data. This will help you to get to know your body and your cycle better and I believe this is part of the reason why I was able to fall pregnant….at 38! 🙂 It is a journey so be mindful of your personal space and privacy. We are here to support you.
P.S LOVE SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS! They are hard to get where I live (Austria). I'm not vegan but enjoy your channel for many reasons, not just food!
After listening to your open talk about food – I totally get it. I always over eat/over order when I am on holidays, because food is a love of mine and I like to indulge myself. However, I am talking from the perspective of never having to deal with a diet issue. I think it is really good that you are reflecting on your own behaviour, without being judgemental about it. Next time, you can pause before you order and reflect on this conversation.
I am someone with/recovering shopping addiction, it is the same thing, just in a different context. I try to give myself boundaries, but also allow myself to enjoy myself with some limited guilt free spending – and I think this can also be applied here. There is nothing wrong with not finishing your meal, you enjoyed it and you ate as much as you felt comfortable with. At home, you're not wasting (as you mentioned), so don't be too hard on yourself! 🙂 That pizza looked amazing! And on another note, maybe the mac and cheese is pre-made and lots of places have the same one – therefore none have any flavour. That could be a great challenge for your next recipe! How to make AMAZING Vegan Mac and Cheese.
You are one of my fave You Tubers just ‘coz you’re genuine in my opinion and that’s what makes me stay subscribed to your channel. In this fake world of put ons you are down pat honest and sincere so it’s defi not a put off. But beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing out there or judgmental wolves that pry on others to make their empty lives whole. Of course you are also the best judge on how much to share to keep you and your loved ones safe ❤
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable, I struggle with the leftover bits and being aware in the moment is so hard
I just love watching your vlogs! Thank you for keeping it real. I am 51 and have struggled my whole adult life with gaining weight, losing weight, gaining weight, losing weight, on & on. There is no judgement on my part. I am now in the process of working on my mind body & soul. Thank you for sharing. I am not as tall as you are but we have a similar body shape. I absolutely love your home. Keep on being YOU!
Im a 45yr old woman and have struggled with my weight all my life the best person that I have found on youtube which has turned my journey around, you maddie I tried alot of your recipes from your book tried them and they have worked for me – you do have purpose in this world so please dont be so hard on you this life is hard enough 🥰 we all have our way to nourish our self care needs – thank you for taking us on your journey 🥰
Such a beautiful video ❤ As a new YouTuber myself doing similar content, you're such an inspiration to me and I dream of one day becoming as successful ss you ❤ ☺️
I think ember mugs keep your coffee warm for you, they're expensive but could be worth it
