Hannah, my heart breaks for 14-year-old you, but the woman you are today (with 400k friends and admirers!) is a beautiful soul, wise beyond her years. I LOVE your videos - anything you want to film, I will watch. Please do not feel you need to have full makeup (or ANY makeup) - you are gorgeous just as you are. My goal for this year is to work through the grief of losing my beloved little dog Oliver in 2024. Watching you and Roo together has been helping me with the sadness. Wishing you all the very best in 2025.

To be honest with you Hannah you are so naturally beautiful that I don’t think the viewers would notice if you were wearing make up or not. Please don’t worry. And we tune in to see how you and roo are, what you are up to in the countryside, how you’re settling in your new home etc. we follow you for your lovely self 😊

I've recently turned 18. Adulthood has often been presented to me as something daunting and mostly joyless but you help me see how much joy there is to be found in living a "grown up" life. You've been such an inspiration for me, thank you.

[phenrichsen]

YES, please Hannah, what you eat in a week would be amazing!! Thank you! I love your beautiful, comforting, videos. They make me so happy and inspired. And, I love you Hannah and I consider us as friends even though we’ll never meet in real life. You’re my friend and I look forward to seeing you here…it truly makes my week. You’re such a kind, gentle, beautiful soul.❤❤

Hannah, if you don't mind an old lady (I'm 72) I'm a friend! ❤ You're sensitive and i understand your insecure feelings and about makeup. I still feel the same.. that's sad isn't it? I'm really proud of you and I'll try to accept myself more this year. My adult, married daughters are much more secure than me thankfully. We all live within walking distance and have a very close family so i know I did something right! I wanted to thank you for sharing about manifestation with your young subscribers. You opened a door that the world needs to people who may never have looked into it. I've been a seeker for many many decades. There's lots for you to explore in that area and I feel sure you will! I'd also like to thank you for your gorgeous videos of the countryside. They're so calming.. and your food is teaching me new things i didn't ever try. So.. you're doing great! I guess mainly that's what I wanted to say. Keep up what you're doing. I look forward to seeing your beautiful new country home as you fix things how you want them. And know you're stunningly beautiful inside and out ❤ Take good care.. we're all grateful for you on this channel!

You’re absolutely lovely. I love the calm, wholesomeness, and simplicity of your vlogs. ❤

[emmadm]

These vlogs are the the best way to start my Sundays. In America they come at the perfect time for my morning coffee ❤

[eileenchang]

Hannah, your videography of your walks is outstanding as it really captures the essence of the topography of the land and natural structures in your area! Absolutely lovely and soothing! 🥰🇨🇦❄️

Happy new year Hannah ! I’m 54 now and I still carry the scars emotionally of an unhappy time at secondary school. It’s funny because if I see certain people from those times the insecure feelings come back even today sadly

[debbiekavanagh]

Hi Hannah
I had a tough time at school 30+ years ago, and it does have an impact on you.
But after such a terrible year last year after losing my mum I'm looking forward to doing things in her memory this year.

[amyhowell]

Hannah, i have been following you for a while now and I must tell you how much I am enjoying watching your life evolve and how truly inspired I am by your journey to bettering yourself, your environment and your relationship with your health and spirit. I was so deeply touched watching your most recent video and your vulnerability in sharing about the relationship with your self image and wearing makeup on camera, or not, and the struggles you overcame whilst you were in school. The relationship you have with your parents is so lovely and I hope that you will always treasure it. It’s a great gift. I appreciate your enthusiasm for cooking especially healthy cooking which is an interest you and I both share. And I love the recipes that you share and the techniques you have learned. Your videos have become such a treat for me during the week. I instantly feel my blood pressure lower as I watch them. Thank you for all of the thought and hard work that goes in to preparing them each time. I so appreciate it. And thank you for the recommendation of clipper tea! I am able to get it over here in the states on Amazon I also wanted to pass along another brand that you might like or maybe even know about already. It’s called Hampstead. It’s organic, biodynamic, and I believe made in the UK. So much love and abundance to you in this new year. You are such a treasure. Warmest wishes to you and little Roo. Amy Howell, Lewes Delaware.

You are a beautiful person inside and out. You iinspire so many people with just the simple things. Have a great week and thank you for sharing your life with us., Love the Cotswolds you have inspired me to visit in a year or two... Happy New Year.

[jayahmier]

Recently found this channel. I love how wholesome and safe it makes me feel. I was also severely bullied in school here in the states. I have a hard time wearing my hair without a headband. I was constantly bullied about my forehead. I love how you said it’s one of your goals to let go of what doesn’t matter. My goal this year is to become comfortable with my real hair and my forehead. Lovely vlog wish you the best!!

Being a new cat mum (2 foster cats from my local shelter), I spent NYE at home with my velvet paws 🐈🤍 Happy New Year !

[kellymcpherson]

Hannah, thank you so much for your videos. You are a beautiful young woman and don’t let the past dictate your future. With or without makeup you are a beautiful woman inside and out. I am 62 years old and went through some terrible things in school myself. As you get older you surround yourself with people that truly love you and make you happy. Put that past in a box and pack it away and don’t let it come back. I have done this in my life and for the most part it works. Life is to short to let junior high and high schools rule our lives. Happy New Year and I feel you are on the right track ❤️

[Merrilady]

As a mom who has observed the middle school years, I have discovered that the pretty, sweet, kind hearted girls from loving homes are often targets for the girls who are jealous. The sweet girls haven't built up defenses yet. And it's hard for them to understand and talk about. Everything you share is sure to inspire other girls and women. The exact you who you are right now is just what the world needs! Thank you for your uplifting content, you are doing good in the world!!

[calleenramsay]

You are lovely and a natural beauty, also I can’t imagine how it felt not having a single friend. Having said that being vulnerable is why you have 400k subscribers you are one of those genuine gems that we all need in these troubled times. Keep being you. Love your content so much I instantly became a huge fan ❤

[debbiemccann]

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.”

You made me tear up at the end there Hannah. I’ve been a silent viewer for a long time, but I wanted to let you know that I felt the 14-year-old-self-comment in my core. It angers me how these experiences from our childhood leave such marks, but I’m so happy we have this space online to find each other. Thank you for creating it. I love being your stranger-friend!

Also would love to see a WIEIAW, especially how you incorporate 30 plants. I counted last week and with maximum effort made it to 20…

Once again thank you and many hugs to you, have the best 2025!
