Hi Helen Nice haul from Monsoon. I would rather get one blouse from there than get 2/3 blouses from others shops as the quality is second to none. That black b.ouse is stunning and looks lovely on you. As a teenager I used to wear a lot of black, but the o ly things I have in black is a crotchet top, a skirt and trousers It is a pity that the navy dress is too small. Sometimes the people who make these dresses up put the wrong size on them. I h ave had a few like that especially from H&M. The black dress looks fabulous on you. All the best. Rhian xx
Hi Helen. Ignore those negative comments, no one needs to watch your channel they can move on. I for one enjoy them and look forward to watching. Please don’t change because of a few negative comments. I’m sure there’s more of us who enjoy your content. You make me laugh out loud at times. 😂😂😂
Hi Helen I’m looking after my sister who is end of life, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy just losing myself in your videos when they land ❤ thanks Helen for everything you do on here, you’re great fun and your chat has really helped to keep me going a really difficult time THANK YOU ❤
Sending lots of love to you alison. I looked after my husband in February who was also end of life aged 55. So good to have an outlet by watching Helen on here x
There are always going to be those people that have to say something negative and that is a refection of their mindset. I think the bag is a great idea and very handy.....you are naturally very funny and so down to earth.....those that cannot see that are not on your wavelength.....I enjoy all that you put out on your channel and I particularly enjoy the fashion hauls as I hardly get a chance to go out these days so it keeps me up to date with what is current! Thank you!
Wanted to say Helen feel very honoured to be part of your community and definitely class myself as a Hel’s Belle. 😊 Even my hubby thinks it’s great so take no notice of the negative comments, your Hel’s Belles love You, Rob your Mum and family ❤
Lovely Vlog Helen ….Honestly my Mum always used to say …” If you can’t say anything nice ….don’t say anything at all “ !!! Great advice ….Don’t understand why people are just so mean ….they really do not need to watch !! You are Awesome & just continue being your own absolutely unique self …..Have a wonderful rest of your weekend xxxx
I find it bewildering to be honest, because obviously I watch some channels and think, no, not for me. But just move on.... but I guess we are all different xx
We were driving back to Cornwall from London this morning and there were a huge number of caravans on the motorway. I kept looking into the car at who was driving. My husband asked me what I was so interested in and I said oh I just looking to see it Helen and Rob🤪My husband thinks I’ve gone completely mad.
I declare myself a Canadian Hel -s Belle and braag to my friends that have this absolutely wondering friend in the UK and we meet about 3 times a week. Just keep doing what your doing I think you community loves it.🥂Cheers.
I totally agree - people who criticize have no life and have nothing better to do, so from another Canadian fan 🇨🇦 keep doing what you’re doing us Hel’s Belles love your channel ❤️
Hi Helen, the black dress looked great on you, would be lovely for your upcoming wedding receptions! love your rabbiting, don't ever stop, it makes you who you are, funny and very watchable. Can't wait for the "CARAVANING" vlogs.
Helen please just keep doing what you are doing. This IS a community and I for one think of you as a friend. I came across you just as you were starting your channel and immediately liked what you were doing. Don’t let the knockers bother you they are sad people with nothing better to do. Barbara. I'm a Hel's Belle and proud of it. 💐
You can’t please everybody all of the time…. The times you make me laugh😊. I would love that bag in baby pink so I can use it at the beach…. You don’t know how funny you are… thank you for your efforts. Pink bag 🙏
I can never be part of the community as I live in Africa, where lions roam and one dare not wear our engagement rings and diamonds.. 😂.. but I love the bag and the community feel.
Helen I am watching this in my caravan on a hot sunny evening in the Yorkshire Dales and my husband thinks I've gone completely bonkers giggling at your vlog 😂 I absolutely love your rabbiting on and your sense of humour, it's so much like yours. It's just like being with a friend and having a good giggle 😅 You will really enjoy your caravan trips if only for the cockups you both make ( especially with an awning!!) . Lots of laughs on the horizon if you are anything like us. Enjoy your first trip away and look forward to hearing all about it ❤
Hello again Helen, i like all your choices today.I love Monsoon,i had my wedding dress from there.I got married in Florida,so didn't want anything too heavy in my suitcase.Found the ideal dress there. A very Happy retirement to Rob,i retired a few month's ago.Still getting used to it.
Hi Helen! Im watching you from my hospital bed in pgh., pa.......I had a stroke afew days ago, no warning or symptoms. But I'm already doing better and will start intensive physical therapy on Monday. Just want to say how much I enjoy your videos.....they definitely will cheer me up while recovering. Kathy from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸 ❤ ♥ 💖
Hi Helen think the bag is a great idea and very useful. Why can’t people keep their negative opinions to themselves! Think the brush are a brilliant idea will definitely be getting a set, thanks for showing them. Enjoy Rob’s retirement time now for you both to enjoy time together. Xxx.
Hi Helen, love your channel. Just wanted to say I've had a couple of the crevice brushes for a while, and I like them! You make me smile at the way you say things. Don't change a thing, look forward to your videos. Xx
I know Temu has a bad rep for various work practises (as do many sites, in all honesty - which is NOT an excuse), but I bought the same brushes for less than 50p each. They really are ace! I'd be happy to pay more for a reputable supplier but I hadn't actually seen them til I saw them on Temu. I'm on a tight budget, too, so I don't have a huge choice where I can buy from. I can understand totally why you've featured them! 😊 Beautiful items as ever Helen. I really relax watching your videos as your manner is beautiful - common sense and a great sense of what works for you. Thanks for you hard work on your lovely channel! ❤❤❤❤
Helen anything that makes cleaning easier then makes our lives easier so that then makes up 😀 so that is not sad at Helen I want to thank you so much for the I.b.s tip. It has really helped me. By taking the magnesium you tried & suggested it has now stopped my dashes to the loo and the bad stomach cramps which affected my every day going out life seriously. I am nearly back to normal after years of suffering this awful debilitating condition why don’t doctors tell us about it🤔 Hiw or why it works I do not know only that it has made me back to normal again. So thank you Dee XXXXX
It's so strange isn't it? It's had the same effect on me.... and I have no idea why and that's not what I started taking it for..... but I'm. very happy about the outcome xx
Oh my! I have that set of three Amazon brushes, and was thinking the same! Why am I so pleased with them 😂😂😂 I think the Helllooo Bag is great, and would totally purchase! Would love to run into another person with one, just as you said - strangely enough, it is a community. Even in the US. Love reading other’s comments, and always do! Belated happy retirement to Rob! Hope he gets his procedure soon and, is back on track for adventures even further from home!!! Retirement dates were THE topic of discussion this weekend at dinner out. Everybody I know (in my cohort) is discussing when and how. The black lace dress is so unusual! Absolutely love it on you! The fall of the sleeves and skirt are stunning on you! Special, yet understated. A keeper! (The little star buttons look a bit more casual than the lace of the dress to me, but that is just me. Probably would just need to see them up close.)
I subscribed to you because of your welcoming peaceful nature… I do feel like I’m visiting with a friend. I just love your style. You look so good in everything!!! Really enjoy your videos. I’m very proud to be a Hells Bells ❤️👗👠👜👓
I loved the red colour on you! And part of the fun of going on holidays is bringing all your nice clothes and looking great every day! I really enjoy your videos
Loved the 🦋 top. Yes it would have looked fab with your "white pleated skirt"😂. Thank you for sharing hunny. Oh i loved the blue dress shame it didn't fit. Sending ❤ from Rosie O from Devon, hurray the sun has finally found the south of England 🏴 ☀
Love watching and listening to your mishaps etc love the lace blouse and second dress .keep doing what your doing you make me smile hope everyone well ❤
Hi Helen luv the dress you were wearing lovely colour what a great brush great idea to use for toilet will have to get some I luv your bag it’s great some people why complain about it ignore them the first blouse is so pretty looks lovely on a keeper the navy dress is beautiful shame it’s to small get a bigger size monsoon sizes can come up small the black dress looks lovely on you perfect fit the jumper is too big Helen luv your vlog your fabulous ❤😊
I’ve got those brushes from Amazon. I use them for loads of things. The best thing I have found for getting out the fluff my vacuum misses , where the carpet meets the skirting. It’s not sad at all! I used one to get all the dirt from the track on one of my shower doors. The longer you have them the more uses you find. Great video, as ever Helen🌹
Hi Helen. Glad you are having your first trip in the caravan. My husband was in the trade for years and we had many lovely holidays on the South coast. We used mainly Hoburne sites which were excellent. They had only just started in those days but I think they have expanded a lot since then. Hope you have fun x
Proud to be a “Hells Belle”!! You don’t have to explain at all! People are strange. Oh my, I just bought those brushes about 3 weeks ago! Love em. Like minds etc.❤️😊🎶
Hi Helen, anyone who has been following your channel for a while will know your values - integrity, kindness and honesty ❤ - so please ignore the detractors. Looking forward to the tales of “white pleated skirt will travel” 😂 x
Very amusing Helen once again. My hubby is watching the football and I’m watching you on my iPad and giggling away,I’m sure he thinks I’m minus a few marbles😆Lovley dresses as you would expect from monsoon and lace must be very on trend right now,and everything looked good on you(maybe not the last top)only because of the sleeves.Look forward to your next video👍😊
Those brushes are brilliant, I got some , I don’t know where I found out about them but I bought them….they are sooo useful. I sympathise with you having a not particularly thick skin. There are a lot of pretty nasty people out there in the internet world. An innocent comment can suddenly turn into a furious argument. We watch you because you are not thick skinned, just nice and gentle and normal. Block those nasties out of your life dear Helen, we appreciate you more than you know.
After someone wrote suggesting you have a look at bonmarche, I did just that. I was amazed. From an enormous selection with sizes going up to 28 I chose 2 blouses, expecting not a lot if I‘m honest. The prices are unbelievable and the range very good. They even have David Emmanuel items. Certainly worth a look. Enjoy your caravan!
Happy Retirement to Rob. He certainly appeared to be pleased to be on permanent holidays. Enjoy am sure it is well deserved as Helen has spoken so well of your commitment to your field. Bravo
Oooo Helen I managed to find the gilet, not as good a bargain as yours but it was half price- thanks for sharing your purchase and I’m now the owner of one 👍🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🥰🥰
Oh, and the khaki green eyelet (Broderie Anglaise) dress that you are wearing is good for bringing out the blue in your eyes! Glad that you kept it. Funny about the continuing saga of the white pleated skirt..would be hilarious if a version of it got added that to your merch! Belles in pleats..😊
You really suit the neckline on that jumper and the colour. I've just taken a jumper back to Next that had enormous sleeves too. I bought those brushes a while ago from either shein or temu. Pack of three were about £1. I use them for around the edges of my hob and egdes of kitchen sink and behind taps. The bag is very nice and useful too.
Love the brushes just what I need so thank you, sado’s aren’t we 😂 Also I’m the same, always take a lot away with me, all the clothes I love and feel good in, why not? Love your channel xxx
Dearest Helen I headed your advice about using the Dove self tan on my arms and decolote' and using the sally hansen spray on my legs to give me a bit more "skin confindence" prior to a wedding ...it worked so well, I felt like a million dollars ..I will now use the same technique for our fourth comming cruise on the Queen Anne.... bless you 😊 thanks again Greta
Helen, I loved the haul, but I loved those brushes even more. I ordered them yesterday and they arrived today. 40 plus years ago that would never have happened😂 So, thank you for showing the brushes. Lord help me❤
Helen there’s always one negative person that has something to say love your channel and it’s lovely to see your little mum , and happy retirement to rob xxx
Oh Helen there are always some wingers. Take no notice do what you do we,love your channel. Loved the blk dress and the blk blouse Looked fab on you and both very flattering. Helen I have got one of those brushes and use it to go round the base of my taps it’s fantastic Thanks as always take care.
It just takes one person to get under your skin and that flipping irritation lasts! We know it shouldn’t but the feeling takes a long time to go away. I hope all the lovely people who enjoy all you do will act as a balm for the said irritation! Holiday clothes…..I have never been known to underpack my case. If there is room inside and the case will shut, possibly with quite a bit of persuasion, then I will take another outfit. My partner always says “if you need something there are always shops”! Right…..can just imagine that scenario! XxLiz
Hi Helen, just ignore the negative comments, just be you - you’re lovely in every way and I always enjoy watching and listening to your chats. I am as sad as you and will be buying those brushes for the toilet as I find it difficult to get around those hinges!!!! Loved the last dress, you always look so lovely and elrgant. xx
Love your channel and you always make me smile ,and I'd like to count you as a friend its true we all concentrate our thoughts to the negative people it's because we carnt understand them .keep up with all that you do ,love ya xx
Hi Helen sorry I’m a bit late to the party in wishing Rob and yourself a very happy retirement (I’ve been on holiday) Retirement to me is summed up by doing what you want to do rather than doing what you have to do. I don’t think you overpacked at all for Ireland I’m an eventuality person as it annoys me to death if I’ve left something behind and find I need it. My suitcase always has one of those heavy bag stickers slapped on it…my husband has given up having a rave about it . Keep that black dress Helen it’s one as you said would cover multiple occasions, it was very flattering, great for a cruise evening too. Xx
Thank you. I've said to Rob never again am I going away and worrying about having too much. I've been so annoyed, so many times, when I haven't taken something and wished I had... what's the point of that! xx
My husband always says I take too many toiletries on holiday and he says I don’t use half the stuff as if he knows 😮. I don’t understand why people criticise - you don’t have to explain yourself, you’re lovely and I love ❤️ your channel. Thanks ☺️ for sharing as always. Great haul. Xxx
Lovely vlog Helen ❤ love the lace blouse on you so look forward to our “little chats “ it’s like having a coffee morning with all our friends without having to go out 😊 so thanks ❤x
Hey Helen! Love being a "Hel's belle" 😊 Must say, at the start of today's vlog, it made me think about a song by the Carpenters... Close to you!!! Love the butterfly top. x
Helen just wanted to say I so look forward to watching your videos I've learnt so much and you make me smile...so please carry on...my husband retires soon too I can't wait...bye for now Rosanne 😊
Hi Helen it's always delightful watching you. Don't worry about your merchandise venture no one is obligated to buy. The bags look tasteful. Keep on doing what your doing and enjoy xx
Love your bag Helen and as a bag addict I'd love to buy it but... I'm afraid as its quite big, knowing me I'd fill it then I wouldn't be able to carry it. 😂 Loved the black dress so much I sent for it and on the Irish website it was the only one left in my size. Fingers crossed as it will be perfect for a December wedding. By the way.. Hel's Bells Rock.🎉
Hi Helen, honestly there's no need to explain yourself, your channel is lovely as are you!! Loved the Monsoon Haul, Wow!! the black top & black dress with diamante star buttons were perfect on you, definitely keepers!! Lovely to see you as always, take care 💜 XX
I love you videos,always interesting and funny. Ignore those negative comments . I would love to see a video on the pieces you’ve kept from some of your hauls.
The black lacy dress was really nice Helen, and I loved the length. I'm 5' 8" and always go for longer things, although I am finding M & S trousers / jeans in Long are too long now and had to shorten. Regular are often better.
Thanks for letting me join you while drinking my morning coffee. The sizes of the Monsoon clothes definitely seem a bit off. I used to love the Monsoon dresses until their design became too boho or maybe I just got older, anyway I’ll have another look. x
I really loved the black monsoon dress - it looked so comfortable to wear. Perfect for a cruise or evening function. Or ….. if you have a dinner party. I tried to order but out of stock. I pressed the notify me when available so you never know - i might get lucky! Plus I am a shortie so it would prob be full length for me. Love your channel Helen … you make me smile:-) keep those Hele’s belles ringing because we enjoy the fun of your channel and all of your antics!
I've got those brushes Helen. They are so useful. Brilliant round taps, round toilet seat, and also great on grout! And ignore those comments, it IS a great community of friends!
Hi Helen I'm a saddo too, I've already got the brushes. They are brilliant in fact I got quite excited about them! Keep up the good work from a happy Hell's Belle. X 😊
Hello Helen from Canada on this very warm week, finally some good weather for you, thats awesome, i love all the clothes especially the black dress i would order it if i could, i have not heard of Monsoon, i shall look it up. The red striped shirt would be so cute if the sleeves were shorter, maybe a size down would work, it would look so nice with white pants.
I'm a Hel's Belle who doesn't comment enough as I watch RU-vid on the TV and then forget to go online to give videos a thumbs up and/or comment. I just wanted to say ignore people who leave negative comments. I don't understand the mentality. The black top looks fabulous as does the black dress. It's a shame about the navy dress. Variation in clothes sizes is one of life's great mysteries! Thanks for your inspirational videos 🙂 I went into M&S at the weekend in trousers and a long loose T shirt as I hate my stomach and legs but I came out with some new Chinos and a much shorter T shirt. You reminded me it's a good thing to step out of your comfort zone now and then x
You’re such a lovely lady and you cheer me up watching you. Love the bag but sadly I can’t carry a tote bag as good day on double crutches. Don’t change a thing. Ignore the negative nits. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Helen, I have had those brushes for a while now and I love them, they get into places that a toothbrush won’t.🤣. I’m ready to order some more now. I love your videos, I have watched you from the beginning and seen how you have grown. Keep up the good work. 💕
Loved the black dress very slimming on you , a keeper I think as will never date. Shame about the jumper as it was very nice really liked the neck and strips. Will definitely order a Bag , what can you say some people are just jealous I guess. Try not to let it get to you to much I know that’s easier said than done . Keep up the good work looking forward to forward to the next haul. X ❤
I’m relatively new to your channel Helen, I think you’re fabulous! Without being rude or judgmental I can tell your not selling merchandise for the small amount you make, your just making a lovely community for us all, ignore the negative comments ❤️
