MY 2024 TIMELESS HANDBAG COLLECTION & LUXURY WARDROBE CARE | Lydia Elise Millen

I moved to France from the states at 69 by myself and started my own YouTube channel. I want to encourage others to not give up. Thanks for letting us do this here.

I grabbed my finances by the balls & started my own YouTube channel, I’m a 47 year old single mum to 3 my youngest who’s 8 is very physically disabled & I home educate too! I’m proud of myself because my kids are kind hard working & generally fabulous human beings! 🥰 well done to everyone in the comments & god bless you all xx🧡

Hi Lydia I have lost 170 pounds in Weight since April 2022. I was 22 st I am now a normal BMI. I have worked hard to get yo my goal and I'm determined to continue to look after my health. I spent my whole life morbidly obese for the most part. Being not over Weight or obese is very new and strange for me. I'm treated differently now. Congrats on your book delighted for you well deserved hugs xxx❤

I lost 75lbs in 7 months! Loving getting a new wardrobe now that I’m able to wear designers I couldn’t fit in before 😊

I recently left a bad situation that had me caught in a toxic cycle for 15 years. Please keep the luxury videos coming, I find them aspirational.

Thank you for letting us do this here! I'm healing a traumatic brain injury. It's been a year and half that I've been working on this and I'm in the last phase of rehab right now. I can't believe how much my life has changed for the better throughout this healing journey. I'm proud of my achievement and the courage that I have to consistently go through the pain to ensure a better outcome. 🎉

I was so impressed by Lydia announcing she'd written Evergreen, that it gave me the final push to submit a proposal and the first chapter of my own idea for a book to a well known publisher who had approached me after I had presented a paper at an academic conference in Athens last June. Unbelievably, I got the book contract and am now busy finishing up the first edition of my manuscript. Thank you Lydia for being such an inspiration and an example of whats possible when you work hard. I adore your handbag collection also!

My achievements withing the last year are for example finally passing my apprenticeship exams (finally after 5 attempts) PLUS getting promoted....in private i achieved a lot of calmness, happiness and appreciation for myself even when it's not easy all the time ❤ by the way....i love your hair soo much

Hi Lydia, I got my first big girl job yesterday as a copywriter. I just graduated university in November and now it’s time to take this huge next step in my life. I’m really really nervous but also extremely proud! I’m 23 years old and this job required ~5 years of work experience but I just applied for it anyway and it somehow worked out! Reaching for the stars pays off ❤️

I became very ill in 2021 and could not do many of the things I loved. I was on oxygen 24/7, my hair began to fall out. I lost my passion for fashion and interior design. It took all of my reduced mental capacity to just live. I began to get a little better as the months passed by and was able to get off the oxygen and my hair came back in better than before. My mental clarity started to return…but my reduced lung function kept me from doing most things. A year ago I decided to sit at my desk with watercolor paints and paper and see if I could paint a landscape. I had never painted anything but a wall, never art. The first few were not great, but I kept at it. I have been able to sell every one I list online and have been commissioned to do many pieces besides. You just never know what you can do until you try! Green has always been my favorite color and landscapes are full of green. Your landscape painting in your dressing room always catches my attention. It was fun to see and hear about your recent art you added to your collection from your trip to Scotland.

My recent success/achievement is prioritizing my physical and mental health amidst supporting my husband as he battled leukemia. In May 2023, he was diagnosed with cancer. After his diagnosis, I decided to put more energy into strengthening my body and mind, seeing how even at 27 years old health could be taken away from my very best friend who was otherwise seemingly perfectly normal and fit. Moreover, I knew I had to "put my oxygen mask on first" if you will to be able to best support and care for him during his battle. Nine months later, my husband is now in remission, and I am stronger than I've ever been thanks to 4-5 days of barre classes a week! More important than any number on the scale, though, I am now more confident and in love with myself and all that my body can do. Additionally, I have prioritized time in nature, reading versus scrolling, and checking in with myself akin to the prompts in your book, Evergreen. Thank you for such a lovely space you've curated, Lydia! It's been such a beautiful, warm, safe space for me amidst even the most challenging times.

My secret confession: after over a decade of working in the legal field I saved, quit my job, studied for the law school entrance exam and got admitted into law school. I’m now in my second year of law school and no one outside my immediate family knows - not even my closest friends. I’ve kept working hard in silence. Thank you for letting me share it with you!

Plz do all collection videos like dresses, coats, jackets, skirts, blouses, blazer, jewellery, shoes etc… we want to see it all…. You have such an elegant and classic taste that any collection from your wardrobe would be pleasure to watch

Shoe and jewellery collection next ! ❤ also absolutely loving the new Lydia ❤❤ I’ve been an OG follower and your inner growth is phenomenal

You asked us to share something we’re proud of that we completed or purchased. I have my AOS degree (1976) in secretarial studies I was the oldest (65) in my college graduating class in the middle of COVID. We were seated six feet apart in every direction and wearing masks. And you will never guess, Lydia, what my major was. It was a BA in Communications. I guess I know English pretty well.

I much prefer a video that shows me heritage and timeless and pre loved and care of these things as opposed to unboxing new bags. It seems so excess. Thank you for this! ❤

Lovely to read everyone’s positive and inspiring comments 💕 Lydia, I found you in lock down when I decided to treat myself to a mulberry handbag and was looking for advice and luckily discovered you on YouTube. As a registered nurse you helped get me through covid times. Now, after being diagnosed with Myeloma in 2022 you help me through those days when I’m struggling ! I’m glad to say I’m in remission and attempting to re build a new me ! Keep those videos coming !!! 💕💕💕💕

After years and years of hustle and misery, I achieved a healthy work-life-balance.

My husband died in 2021. I just started my own business. Financial for the first time in my life! 😢❤
