vlog | major house updates & sunday reset 🏡🌞🌿 clean & organise with me for the week

Hello and welcome to another vlog. It is Sunday and I am ready for a reset. Today I am just going to bring you along with me as I tidy up and get ready for the week ahead. I also have so many exciting things to show you because our lounge finally arrived yesterday. 18 week wait. We have a lounge. Oh my god. So yesterday one of my girlfriends took me shopping and just kicked me up the arse to get some things for the house. So I've got a lot of things to show you and I'm really excited to kind of set it all up. To be honest the last couple of weeks I've been feeling very blah. Like it's great moving into this new home but it hasn't really felt homey yet. So yesterday's goal was let's make this house a home. I also had an appointment with my naturopath this week and she suggested trying smudging and asked if I'd ever done it before. I was like not really. So I've looked into it. I bought some smudge sticks and so after I clean the house today I'm going to smudge and just just reset. You know change the energy in this house. But anyway I've had a nice calming morning and I am feeling motivated and ready to go. So first things first we need to clean up. Ready for the couch reveal? Here she is our beautiful Nick Scully Spencer couch. So it's a four seater along here and then we got the chase. So I think all up it's like a six seater. I wanted a nice big cozy couch and this still looks modern and stylish but is so cozy. Like it is just oh divine. We also went for kind of like this bluey gray shade just because we didn't want to have like full-on gray all throughout the house because our tiles are gray and so we just wanted to like mix it up a bit. So I went to pillow talk yesterday and this is the color palette. Now I did buy these cushions for the bedroom for our new bed that's coming tomorrow but they look really nice on the lounge. So I think I'm going to keep those here because then I bought just these creamy ones for the lounge. But I think I like all of these shades and then this throw rug I already have. So you seeing the vibe? Are you seeing the vibe? So what I want to do in here is lay these out nicely. I know this is a massive eyesore. I have ordered a TV unit. I finally ordered one last night. It should be coming next week and it's kind of like a light oak. So similar to the bottom down here. So that will match nicely. I also got this lamp yesterday from Bunnings. Not sure about the fiddle leaf if that's going to stay, if that's going to go. I think once I get the TV unit I'll be able to like fully decorate because then we've also got this side table here that's black. And black isn't the vibe in here. So that lamp needs to go. I need to order a new side table so that's just going to have to stay here for now. But I did pick up a salt lamp yesterday. So I want to pop that in the living room. I just want this to be a really cozy comfortable space. I just can't believe we have a lounge. Clinton and I played three rounds of scissors paper rock yesterday to see who gets the chase for the first week. He won unfortunately. Damn it. Okay so as you can see this is our dining area and the newest addition is the rug. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen that I finally got the chairs. They are this beautiful olive green velvet dining chair with black legs. I just love the colour. So we end up going for six. It just looks nice and neat and uniform. The rug I got from Pillow Talk. And then see that basket outside? I've just given it a clean and I'm thinking of maybe popping it in one of the corners and maybe getting a big plant. We are planning on putting a TV on this wall here. I know it seems a lot of whack as it's a dining room but this was meant to be a living room. But we change things. So anyway TV on that wall, plant in the corner and we'll see what happens from there. Now if we turn around to this wall here, this was the temporary lounge we were using. So this little sofa we will just sell. We actually like having a seating area there though. So maybe could be something for the future. This mirror I picked up from Kema and I want to put this here above my desk. And then all these frames here I want to do a photo wall here with wedding pictures. I feel like that'll make a really big difference in making the space feel more homey. It's coming up to our one year wedding anniversary and I haven't printed a single picture. The only wedding item I have is this one here that one of my girlfriends got for me. This desk space here I'm planning on centering it. I need a new chair and this vase I picked up from Kema yesterday. I'm thinking of doing a water plant in there. This area just needs a whole heap of spicing up. Now I also picked up some crystals yesterday and some sage. So I'm going to dip into this little basket here once I have done all of my housework. where the hell did the time go take all my passions with pain but would you do the same i'm going so insane thinking about where you and i go three years seems like forever when you sit and think about it i put my heart out on my sleeve but i can't live without it i am feeling so refreshed i've put on some calming music i saged my house i put my crystals out and i just feel so calm and grounded and just peaceful it's really nice so i'm going to sit down for a minute have some lunch have a little rest and then i will get my grocery list done all right meal planning so i've just got this weekly planner from kmart and it's just got the days of the week i use it for breakfast lunch dinner and then the following week breakfast lunch dinner then i've got a shopping list this one is from my steph pays planner but you can just get them from kmart as well the first thing i like to do is go through my fridge and pantry and see what i need to use um from the previous week and then i use that first to organize some dinners okay so for breakfast this week i'm going to make a zucchini slice that's nice and easy to take to work heat up good or keep me full for lunches i have some cucumber and mint so i'm thinking of making like an asian noodle salad and then for dinners i've got like a mexican burrito bowl monday night the creamy chicken dish that clinton would like on tuesday night wednesday i'm thinking a vegetarian risotto thursday homemade pizzas which would get pizza bases friday night is our takeaway night and then on the weekend we kind of just see what happens do whatever let's go to the shops because you know i'm your favorite player if you wanna we can take it there summer nights you're my favorite girl we could face the world we stay up until the sunrise sometimes you get angrier things get dangerous can't get up and get on my ride freak you seems like forever when you sit and think about it i put my heart out on my sleeve but i can't live without it has been done now i do have one last job i want to do before i chill out and that is the linen cupboard here so i recently cleaned out my closet like my wardrobe and got new storage boxes so these are old ones that i'm now going to put into the linen cupboard i've got like a whole sheet set in here and mattress i think i'll put in one sleeping bags i feel like it has been a very good day i've been productive i feel calm i am going to sit the sunset and then later on tonight i will continue prepping for the week so i'll cook dinner wash and prep all the veggies that i brought today so that when it comes to cooking dinner later in the week i just look at my meal planner take out meat if i need to and then my veggies are already cut up ready to go makes it much easier when i'm tired throughout the week but anyway if you enjoyed watching please give this video a thumbs up as it really supports my channel and if you're new here i would love it if you would take a look around and consider subscribing thank you for watching and i'll see you in the next one bye
