Your channel is quickly becoming my comfort channel - you try to be honest with us and that's refreshing :)
This was such a gift on a Thursday!!! Exactly what I needed
Always love a good Q&A catch up video, thanks Hol & looking forward to all the LA content ❤xx

I’m literally obsessed with you , I follow you religiously, I relate to you so much , please keep going and keep posting. You’re amazing and inspiring.
I could watch these everyday ❤

you are gorgeous, and btw huge respect to you for moving to l.a and doing all that by yourself in your last video, you should be proud of yourself a lot of people would be overwhelmed so it shows how much you have grown as a person big respect.
Aw Holly! It’s mad I don’t know you but I’m so proud! Honestly well done lovely you’re smashing, so inspiring to have your mindset 💕🫶🏼✨
You are so watchable, love your vlogs x
Congrats!! I know you are going to make LA your home and succeed so much :)
Hello from Bristol! You will NOT miss this weather here! It’s SO depressing, take me with you 😭 so exited for your journey and what an achievement to have been able to do this in your 20s! Despite already being fit and active I am positive your lifestyle will change significantly, more outdoorsy, beach life, hiking - it’s just not the same here! Looking forward to all your future videos ❤❤❤❤
I'm loving watching all the LA content! Deffo re-thinking my life plans now. You should be so proud of yourself for taking the leap. Keep the videos and insta posts flowing pleaaaaase

This is so so kind, I will!! Settling back into the content flow now 😎😎
well done, honestly so brave :) As a londoner, i am not surprised LA had more appeal. I really hope you enjoy your time out there 💫 You'll smash it and meet loads of people!
I know exactly what you mean with your injury. I’m recovering from a broken ankle and the pain and uncertainty really wears you down! Hope your hip is sorted soon ❤ xxx
I’ve followed you on instagram for a little while now and last night I just started watching a few of your KZread video’s (I’m a KZreadr myself) and ahhh I just love watching your lifestyle vlogs! They bring me comfort, inspiration and motivation for sure! Keep doing you ❤
Ahhh so excited for this Q&A and more vlogs!! I hope your hip/knee recovers soon Holly but I'm a big believer in the fact that things happen for a reason. Maybe it's the universe directing you to other amazing things that you wouldn't have otherwise done :) embrace your slow girl era for now and there might be tons of other creative ideas you come up with during this time! You've been working SO so hard and pushing yourself physically and mentally so you deserve the rest and this time to explore other things and your new home in other ways 💖 the hikes in LA would be amazing and even pilates etc. Would love more content around injury prevention, physical rehab, and low-impact exercise during this time!

Honestly you are SO right, trying to find the opportunity in the slower season right now. Thank you for the lovely comment and will 100% be looking into some hikes for next week!!!❤❤
Regarding the money question I don’t think people realise how much money influences actually make of brand deals and KZread would be very interesting to hear you talk about. I know finances feel private, but I think it’s important especially for women to have open and honest conversations about finances and it to be seen as less of a taboo topic
Just found your channel and I’m a fan! ❤❤❤❤
I felt the same as you and I moved across the country to Hollywood and it was the best decision I've ever made! I've lived in New York, North Carolina and Florida and California is my favorite state by far! I so love it here and I hope you do too!! Sending lots of love and I'm here if you need anything while you're in LA 🤗❤xo
Looove love your videos Holly! I’m going to LA in March so very excited. Not sure if you’ve already tried this but Bumble has a friendship part of the app where you can meet new friends, may be helpful for you 🥰❤️
Holly love your content, especially the answer to the last question! I created this Fitness youtube channel and had the same thing! i felt so cringe putting it on my social media as it had people i went to school with etc and i know: 'no one is thinking about you as much as you think they are' but honestly being in fitness and creating my little videos on fitness in my little space here makes me genuinely so happy
We gotta run a marathon here in Miami!! Keep the good work up
Girl I freaking love you! Also super off topic but your voice sounds so much like Florence Pugh!
Welcome to the USA, I live near NYC on the oppose side of the coast but I love Southern California. I hope you stay ❤ And your apartment is so beautiful!! Great job!
Your soo amazing Holly love you. ❤
New to your channel and love watching your journey been my dream to move to LA and planning to move soon from London!! xx
Cannot wait for you to start a casual run club in LA! I’ll be there😊 also you absolutely will love cycling outside here. You can easily rent a bike in Santa Monica on the paved path (Perry’s has multiple locations) and go for hours from the Pacific Palisades down to Venice. I do it almost every weekend and it’s such a gorgeous way to enjoy the day!
As an IMUK 2023 finisher it’s soooo refreshing to see an influencer respect how hard an Ironman/the training for an Ironman is. However, despite not wanting to trivialise it, you would be able to do it!!! ❤
I went from driving a manual for years, to an automatic and did the same thing with the break 😅😂 it’s so startling!
Can't say enough about meeting people on social media! I moved to San Diego from Australia about the same time you moved to LA and have met lots of great girls through Facebook groups. Hope you make it to San Diego if you haven't already - it's like LA but better haha!
if you have the luxury of working for yourself and able to live anywhere and work definitely take advantage and live in different places!
Hi there :) love your channel and find the content extremely genuine. Excited for this next chapter in your life! I was wondering what Visa you are on (or if anyone knows this), is it the O1 Visa?
We have some random stores that carry British imported snacks and candy! The selection isn’t amazing, but maybe fun to check out 😊 one being Cost Plus World Market (there’s one at the Grove)
If you get a chance, there is a 70.3 Ironman just south in Oceanside during the beginning of April. Going you would get so motivated and know if you want to do it. Welcome CA!!
I don't know how good it is in the states but when I moved to a new city in England, I used bumbled friends and I have made great friends through it!
i am 3 weeks into a broken collarbone and i am unable to do anything fitness related so i feel you with the pain of being injuried my half marathon was supposed to be in two weeks and i am gutted that i can no longer do it!!
so so happy for you! youre so brave for following your dreams and moving all the way across the globe! 🌍 🎉 (random;)) but can you do makeup routine PLEASE🫶🏼??)
My Dad heads to the UK in May this year all the way from New Zealand and I am going to ask him to bring back 2-3 bags of percy pigs back! I have never tried them but they do sound so yummy!
I live in Hollywood and would totally go to your run club!! 🤗👍👍❤
Holly i did the EXACT same thing when I first drove in america, I only lightly touched the break but when you do it with the left foot it's so different, I nearly gave myself whiplash 😂
Lol my husband has a manual and he did the same thing when he got into my car. He also has tried to shift my car 😅😂 love these la videos. Always has been my dream to live in a city like that. Living through you 😅
Me and 3 friends are currently traveling through Ireland and a few of us have been driving the car and with everything reversed and the roads being so tiny it’s definitely terrifying. I think we just have so much more room for traffic in the US. Just remember, stay on your right! Lol
Girl. You can get square bars in target etc! I’m from the UK but work on cruise ships so I’m always in the US. And they have them! They’re called rice crispy bars though! So do not worry about that one 🤣🤣
Omg I’m literally having the same problem with my knees and hips. I was training for my first half marathon and I had to cancel it!! I totally understand what you’re saying and how much it really weighs on you. I feel like idk what to do at the gym! Do you have any recommendations on taking it easy during the recovery period ?
you look like Lauren Conrad! :) can't wait for more vlogs ! new sub!
You should do a local subscriber meetup! I’d totally come.
LA is such a cool place to live/visit but I can’t get on board with the “people are so nice” piece 😂
As an American who now lives in Manchester (for 2.5 years) I can say with 100% certainty driving in the UK is WAY harder. But I have to disagree with Holly, the USA has way better supermarket snacks than the UK. When in the UK I MISS goldfish and peanut butter pretzels, OH and EVERYTHING at Trader Joes! Also, the USA has squares bars. They are called ✨rice crispy treats✨and every Costco/BJs, Giant, and Safeway def have them.

@@SunshineandSand88 I really like it. It's obviously much smaller than London, but a lot of the population is young adults a) cause that's the type of city it is and b) because there a 4+ very large unis. I am a third year at UoM. Be prepared for terrible winter weather though (jan and feb aren't the happiest months). The people are great, the bars are great, and the airport is quick to get to for weekend excursions (only 20 min from city centre by train). You should take the train up sometime to check it out! Only 2.5 hrs by train!

hiiii girl! I just saw a vlog (Remi) going to "World Market" next to the Grove - they have British chocolates and biscuits! you should check it out
You can find British candies and biscuits at World Market
Do you use an app to find these "run clubs"? I was just thinking about this yesterday and I think you put my thoughts into an actual thing! Let me know! Welcome to the States!
Wooow..listening to you ........😍😍😍😍

May I ask what visa you were able to apply for? I always dreamed of USA, but couldn’t find a way to do it. I came across to NZ for the second time ten years ago, now lucky enough to have citizenship… with no plans to return to UK. Wishing you the best!! ❤
Hey Holly, have you tried doing some CARs for your hips ? It did help me a lot a few years ago to do some CARs and get back to running :)

Wait, you can face either way when parking in the UK!? It’s illegal to do that in NZ you’ll get a ticket if you’re parked in the opposite direction 😂
What type of injury do you have?
You could eat a grape and I’d be cheering for you😂 fully living for L.A. you❤
Which garmin do tou have??
Can you recommend any good car hire companies x
You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen
I don’t think many realise how much money molly earns 😂 she is on over 100k a year guys. Good money in the industry!

Can you speak a bit slower? I’m not sure why you are in such a rush throughout this video, it is really difficult to understand you especially with the accent
