How are we doing? It is Saturday today. I feel really nice and chill today. Despite
the fact that I need to vlog today, like there is pressure to vlog because this week has
just been an absolute shambles. Like everyone's been celebrating Mercury coming out of retrograde,
but I feel like for me, Mercury or something else has gone into retrograde for me personally
because this week has been an absolute disaster. It's been good in a lot of ways, but I made
the best of it. However, a good two, three days of my week, yeah, three days of the week
have just been absolute write-offs. So Tuesday I spent a good two hours trying to get to
London. Did I get to London? No. In fact, I also struggled getting home. All the trains
decided to run fast and went past my stop and didn't tell anyone. So that was a really
interesting day. So Tuesday was a write-off. Wednesday I had one appointment and the journey
to that appointment should take 10 minutes. I left the house at one o'clock and I got
home at half past six. Also not fantastic. That was a monumental waste of my time. I
thought I was going to starve in my car. So Wednesday, also not fantastic. And actually
that was the day that I struggled the most because I couldn't even make the best out of
that situation because I was just stuck in my car. I couldn't even use my phone or anything,
just crawling, crawling for hours. Thursday I went to London, which was all fine. I started a vlog
and then just didn't have any time to actually check in. So I literally have like a minute's
worth of footage. And then Friday the roads around me are still really, well,
we're still really messed up. I don't know if they are today. Uh, and my whole day was cancelled.
It's been a week and all of the things that I should have had booked in that I should have
been vlogging have just absolutely not happened. So here we are. It's Saturday. I'm hoping we might
go somewhere today. Uh, but we're going to get the train because I think we'll see. I think we're
going to get the train because I actually need to like leave the house and go somewhere,
but I don't want to spend like three hours on the road. So we're going to see where today takes us.
Hopefully we'll leave the house and go somewhere. I have kind of had to resign myself to the fact
that, uh, this video is probably not going to go live tomorrow, but in the interest of making
the best out of what is not the best week, uh, I'm going to use it to just get ahead
with the vlogs. And then hopefully if we have not great weeks again, where things get really held up,
then I, it won't impact me. So we're going to make the best of a bad week. I think we're going to
have a nice day today. It is literally so sunny and it's not as freezing as it has been. So that's
also great. I should really do this with a mirror. This could go very wrong. Another upside of this
week is we finally, hi Nala, hi Nala, um, is we finally booked a trip that we have been meaning
to book for a while. And I'm really, really excited about it. Um, and that's all I'm going
to tell you for now, but I am actually so excited. We've talked about doing this for ages and I'm
really looking forward to it. So that was definitely like peak of the week. Um, I did want
to say thank you so much to everyone that commented on my last video. I know there were a lot of first
commenters, um, in the comment section and it was, I, although I haven't, there's such a mixed
response in the comments, it was still really helpful. Um, even though it hasn't necessarily,
uh, given me a clearer answer, it was so helpful just to read so much different feedback. So I
really appreciate all of your comments and just everyone sharing, especially there are some like
quite, um, emotional, like really touching stories in there. And I just really appreciate everyone
being so like open and honest. Um, it's a really lovely, lovely space in the comment section,
just lots of people being very supportive of each other. And I just love to see that. So
thank you so much. I, I think I'm going to do it, you know, like I, if you haven't watched the video,
I will link it. Um, and you can go and watch it because no one needs to hear that chat twice
because it was very long, but, um, I think basically what I won't find out is like,
like I could have good, what is it? AMH levels, good levels of something like a good reserve, but
it doesn't necessarily guarantee you getting pregnant quickly. Um, not that if you haven't
watched the video, please go and watch it. That's not happening anytime soon, but I'm just very
curious about, um, fertility testing at the moment and just kind of like trying to plan ahead
a little thing a little bit, which I think is good to do rather than just kind of leaving it
to be a surprise for me anyway. I think that is a good, a good option. I don't, I don't think
it's for everyone. And actually I would rather know if there are any potential roadblocks earlier
on so that I can troubleshoot because I'm a big, big troubleshooter rather than leaving it,
um, like a couple of years and wondering why things aren't really going so well for me.
Um, and then feeling potentially like very, uh, stressed and worried and starting the process
two years later. Um, and just really wanting to like rush it. Yeah, I think I'm going to do it.
I think I'm going to do it. I will keep you updated and I will bring you along with me
because there were so many of us that were so curious, myself included. So yeah. TBC
will keep you updated. Happy to be everyone's guinea pig, like I said. But yeah, thank you so
much for all of the love and all of the comments. Like I really, really appreciated it. And it was
as much as the response was super divided, like I said, it was still really, really, really helpful.
And there were lots of very, um, like there wasn't really any information that I didn't feel
was helpful. Um, so I just really appreciate everyone taking the time. It was honestly,
I appreciate it so much, but today I kind of want to go and get some like nice,
healthy food bits. Just go for a wander in general, get out the house. Um, I've got a lot of
stuff. I've got a lot of stuff that I need to show you, need to show you, want to show you,
have been dying to show you, have been stockpiling so I can show you. I did a bit of shopping. I've
done quite a bit of shopping. I didn't really do too much in December, but in January I have
shopped a little bit. Seriously, if you have oily skin, get the Huda Beauty powder. It's so good.
I'm just going to leave my hair today because whilst I'm not particularly busy, I'm just going
to try and give it a bit of a break from heat styling every day. So I blow dried it straight
last night and, uh, it's a bit lumpy, but it's fine. Okay. So whilst I let the dog out, I'm going
to show you my outfit of the day. I'm really annoyed because I actually basically filmed this
outfit of the day the other day and I looked a lot better than I do today. I'm really puffy.
I had some sushi the other day and it's not really left my face and I'm also being side lit, which is
definitely not helping. Um, but I've got my Skims body on. This is our coat we're going to talk
about in a bit because I won't be linking it. I picked it up recently and there's a whole story
behind it. Um, I've got a little Chanel boy, which I have not worn in the longest time, but I'm kind
of enjoying wearing it like this at the moment. And then some really old ripped, really low rise
Zara jeans, which are great. Uh, if you're feeling a bit bloaty after having sushi, uh, it's fab
because there's no like high waistline. They are literally the comfiest jeans. And then I've got,
uh, some like Air Max, Air Force. I don't know. I'll link them. And then I've got Monica Vinader
hoop earrings in and that's literally it for jewellery. I'm just keeping it really minimal
today. Oh no, it's game over. Game over for you. We were planning a little cinema date as well.
You could save them for that. There's no way I'm going to save them. I was about to say I'm safe
because I don't like sweets, but unfortunately it's right next to my own personal Achilles heel.
Oh my God. These are so good. If you like Kinder Buenos, but you are dairy-free,
you need to look at these. Can you reach those?
What are they? Chocolate hazelnut?
I'm going to switch over process where I get nervous and I don't like the new thing.
We're going to do a food haul. Actually we need to get our Sunday dinner stuff out the way,
but we bought mushroom pies. That's not really exciting. Yeah. Brian's making bread. Um,
what are you making this up? Bagels? Bagels. Yeah. And you made a focaccia. I can't remember
if I showed it in the last vlog. Maybe I did. The focaccia was great. It was amazing.
Some little bread rolls for our burgers later. The exciting things. We've got kombucha because
I have become obsessed with it. I just really love the taste. We also got some
Mexican cheese again to have with our burgers later. We've got like these like spicy chicken
burger things. So we're going to basically make like not a Nando's, but like some kind of,
I'm thinking it's going to be like American style kind of takeaway food, but at home.
It's kind of, it's kind of Nando's isn't it? Yeah. Like that bread. They've got the same
rolls that they like have in Nando's. Brian got pick and mix, which he's already started eating.
And I'm feeling like I should hide these from you. You started eating your pick and mix? Yeah,
because I have self-restraint. I have self-restraint. My bag is falling apart. I need
to put these in a jar. Can I try one? Yeah. So we've got hazelnuts, vegan chocolate buttons
and banana chips because lots of people know I love banana chips. I also got a little like
natural bamboo toothbrush thingy because I have an electric toothbrush and when I clean my brace
in the morning, I feel like I'm really like my electric toothbrush. Cause I have to scrub a
brace so hard to get it clean. I feel like I'm really messing up my electric toothbrush head
and I'm having to buy them all. So I just got like a bamboo toothbrush to clean my
braces with. I also got natural flossy sticks because I tried to go, I tried to use the little
stringy stuff. So there's no plastic involved and I can't do it. I just can't. So these ones
are like the flossy sticks, but they've got like a wooden little like thing that you can recycle.
So they're like environmentally friendly, which I'm very happy about. And I've got more carrots
for the roast tomorrow. And then I love vego bars or vego bars. I don't know how you're meant
to say it, but they do a dark like nut and berry, basically fruit and nut one. And I'm so happy.
I'm so excited. That is one of the things I miss the most about not being able to have like dairy
milk is fruit and nut, which is a red flag person kind of chocolate I'm aware. Is it? I feel like
people think you're really weird if you like fruit and nut, but you get really judged for
liking fruit and nut. It's so good. I don't know if it's really weird, but it tastes a little bit
like salami to me. What? Are you feeling okay? Are you having a stroke? It's like salami. It's nice.
Good thing I like salami. Feel okay? It doesn't now, but like, I don't know. Initially it did a bit.
Oh my God. Can you taste that? It's like the tang of the dark chocolate. It's the
same sort of, maybe it's from the fruit. I don't know, but that's so weird.
Anyway, we're going to hide our pick and mix from ourselves. Scales out for the second time in
two weeks. It's pretty mad. We'll leave you to your bagel chef. Please do. And we also,
whilst we're out, got a new bath mat. Oh my God, this is actually so soft. So some of you
might remember that. I already have this one. Oh, Nala's modelling. Okay.
Thanks babe. You know, people can't see it if you sit on it. Anyway, lots of you will remember I
have this bath mat, but in the reverse colourways and we thought we'd switch things up a little bit
and I actually really like it because we have this cabinet here and it's grey, so it kind of works.
And yeah, it's just really lovely. It's so soft. I don't know if my original one was ever this soft.
It feels so nice, but we're going to keep, thank you. We're going to keep the other one
as a spare for when this one is in the wash, but yeah, I'm very happy with it. We actually got it
from a little local independent shop, but I know that Urban Outfitters do these, but I don't know
if they do that exact colour, but I'll try and find somewhere that does and I'll link it in the
info box for you. But now, I didn't realise what the time, ooh, so bright. I didn't realise what
the time was. We must've spent so long faffing when we were out. So yeah, the afternoon's kind
of run away with me. So I think what I'm going to do with the rest of my afternoon is actually take
my gel polish off because it's starting to lift. I don't know if you can see, like I get these
patches where it goes really light and it's like the gel is coming away from my nail. And because
my nails are so long, it means that the weight then becomes really imbalanced and it becomes
really painful. So it doesn't look like it, but all of my like cuticles are quite swollen right now
and it's quite painful and sore. So I'm going to take my gel nails off and just put like a nice
neutral, I think the colour we're going for today is pale rose, which hopefully won't be too
dissimilar from the base colour that I've already got on. So it'll look kind of similar to how it
is now, but just without the chrome tips, which I've actually really enjoyed. I'm going to go and
get cosy in my bedroom. I don't know why I like to do my gels on my bed. It's probably the least
practical place, but I like to get cosy in there, watch something on my laptop or read something or
whatever. And just sit and do my nails. Hang on, let me pause. Go on, girl. Show me. Wow.
That's the best one. They look so cool.
They all look good. See, man of my dreams, making bagels. What the... I must have been
really good in a past life. True. As you can see, it's gotten dark and we are still going,
but I've done my second coat on my left hand and it's looking pretty good. We've gone for
Pale Rose from Manicurist and I've got my little
lamp here. I like this colour and I don't feel like it's gone streaky, which is good.
It is definitely my bedtime. I am so tired, but very happy with the nails. This colour is really
cute. It's called Pale Rose by Manicurist. I'll link it in the info box if you need some colour
inspiration. I also have Poison, which you will have seen me wear before and I really love, but
this is, I think, my favourite like French Manny kind of colour. I've also used like Milky White
or I can't remember if it's called Milky or Milky White. One of those. I've used that, but I prefer
this one. It's just so natural. It's like my perfect French Manny colour. So I'll link that
below if you're interested. I think I also have a 15% off code from, I did some work with them on
Instagram. So if you're interested, I will put it in the info box and we can see if it works. And
I've had a few of you DM me on best practice for like making these last because I was saying how
long Poison, which is the glittery green, had lasted, which I would say darker colours I find
in any at home gels always last better. However, a couple of things I do as best practice is I
actually cure the nail for longer than it says to. I would say like nearly double the time. I also do
like a light set after I do each of my nails. So I'll like do my thumb and if I put quite a lot of
polish on it, I'll like pop it straight in the little lamp and like just give it a quick set
and then carry on. And then I'll do the next one and just quickly like for literally like five,
10 seconds each, which isn't the full time, but just to kind of like stop the liquidy polish,
like moving around too much. And it stops, I find it stops it getting streaky. And I've also noticed
like actual professionals sometimes do that with certain, when we do certain types of nail art,
we do like a little quick cure, like literally like flash it under the lamp just to stop things
like moving about. There was something else and I can't remember what it was. So quick cure, cure for
double the time on like, especially the top coats, especially the top coats. That's it, a double top
coat. And I do that not only because I think it helps gel manis that you do at home last longer,
I also think that it makes your nails stronger and then it's less likely to like just go very...
My half tattoo. I just think it makes them less like flimsy and less likely to like bend and chip
and stuff like that. So yeah, I am going to get ready for bed now because I actually feel like
I can't talk. I've really struggled today. Just been feeling so tired. I don't know. I think I've
got stuff on my lens, sorry. I don't know if it's like, because this week has been like a kind of
uphill struggle with lots of things just not going right. And I'm a bit more mentally tired
because of that. Or I'm just feeling tired for some other reason, but I'm just really
mentally struggling to like be on today. So I'm going to go to bed and I will see you guys in the morning.
This side part is ruining my life. What is this? I will officially not be wearing a side part next
week because, not to be dramatic, but it is ruining my life. I had to put dry shampoo in it and I hate
putting dry shampoo in my hair because it just makes it dry and more like tangly and susceptible
to damage. I try not to do it, but needs must today because I honestly, it's behaving, the whole head
of her has decided to behave differently and I don't understand why. Anyway, good morning. It's
Sunday. I wanted to show you everything that I've picked up recently over the last month.
And then I've got a few bits of PR to unbox as well. Oh, okay. We have some Merit Beauty.
So they're like these really sweet little blushes. I love these. They're so cute. Oh my god, so nice.
Oh my god, I can't wait to try that tomorrow. How many times have I just said, oh my god. I'm excited
to try Beverly Hills and Apres. We have two of the Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Sticks.
I got some underneath before, but they were too light for me, dark for me. But I think this one
is going to be perfect. This is the shade June. And then I've also got the shade
Ecru, which I think is going to be, that might actually be the one, you know, I thought it was
the other one, but this one might be it. So yeah, excited to try those. I think they're going to be
great, like quick, easy makeup products. And then I have some PR from Tatcha, which I am very excited
about. What is this? Ooh, cleansers, which is great because I actually do need like just a nice
morning cleanser. I've been using my Clinique Take The Day Off Balm, but I just think that's
better for the evening when I'm actually taking makeup off. In the morning, I just need something
nice and light and just quick and easy. And it doesn't have to be as heavy. So we have got the
Rice Wash, which is the purple one, and then the Deep Cleanse, which is the green one. This could
be it for me. So I'm excited to try that. I've also got some bits from All Saints. These were
very kindly sent to me. We've got this gorgeous black lacy top. So gorgeous. I will do little
like cutaways on screen so you can see because I feel like this vlog is going to be the longest
vlog in the world. Then we have this dress, which is stunning. This is just absolutely gorgeous. I'm
not normally a florals girly. However, this is beautiful. It's like, it's almost like an off
black, like it could be a navy. I think I can't tell if my eyes are going funny or not, but it
could be like a slight navy. This could be a good winter wedding option, potentially, depending on
how specific of a wedding it is. But this could be a really lovely one. And then they've also
sent me this beautiful shirt dress. I think it would look lovely belted and then with like my
cowboy boots. I think that would look so cool. I hope the length is going to be OK on me. Those
are my PR bits. And then, as you will also have seen by the stack of boxes, I picked up some
things myself over the last month. Oh, I've just sat actually on my bum and I'm like really low
down. I have made a little mango order and it's really actually for the size of the box, like a
very small mango order. It's just one item. It might look slightly familiar to you guys. I can't,
I'm not going to beat around the bush here. Some of you may remember I did a autumn coat
haul. There was a coat that I tried on that I was really excited about and I, it wasn't the colour
that I thought it was going to be and it wasn't actually really the same style as I thought it
was going to be. And so I sent it back because I'm very picky when I do videos like that. I really
don't keep much at all because I want to keep my own wardrobe very streamlined. So very fussy,
sent it back. However, there have been multiple occasions recently where I have been needing a
coat for the evening. And I'm like, that one would have actually been the perfect one for
this outfit. And it's happened so many times now to the point where I was like, I'm actually just
going to buy this coat because there are so many occasions where I feel like it would have been
really helpful to have had it in my wardrobe. I thought this was going to be more of a pea coat
when I ordered it. And because of that disappointment, I thought it was going to be
more of an everyday coat for me. And the pea coat style is very much something that I would wear on
an everyday basis. However, it isn't that, it's more of a like blazer coat and it's longer than
I thought it would be, which actually makes it like the perfect night out jacket. So I decided
to pick it back up. So we've got this gorgeous blazer coat situation. It's got very, I've just
battered myself a bit. It's got very structured shoulders, which I really like. It's a silhouette
that looks very nice on me and my like build. Yeah, went back, looked at the video, double
checked that it did in fact look good on me. And I thought that it did. So I decided to pick it up
again. Then I got some bits from Zara and I'm going to have to share with you a little case
study on one of these items. And, um, I've talked about this on stories and I think on TikTok by now
as well. And I'm so sorry, if you've already heard this story, but I bought this coat from Zara and
I'm going to show you like photos of what it looks like when on the website. And yes, I should have
scrolled through more photos before anyone points it out. I'm aware and I will never be making this
mistake ever again. I saw this coat, it looked fab on the model. I loved it. It looked like the perfect
oversized and I'm aware before anyone says they don't like the coat, I'm aware that this oversized
trend is not for everyone, but I personally really like it. And I wanted an oversized black coat and
one that was also very, very long. The coat arrives. It fits beautifully. I'm so happy with it.
I noticed there's this little thing on the cuff. It doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me. My hair
is down when I try it on, which is a very important factor in this story. I did a little twirl. Yeah,
everything fine. Super happy with it. Cut the tag out. I then the next day, um, going to a meeting
in 10 minutes. So my train, I have to make this train. I put my coat on and getting ready to
leave. And I just do like one final twirl in the mirror. And I noticed there's something on my back
and this is where on the website, I did not notice this. I also missed this. This was easier to
rectify, but in my moment of panic, I was like, do you know what? I've already cut the tag out. I
can't take this back, which I have been told since by Zara employees that you can take things back
once you cut the tag out, which I'm sure there's going to be lots of Zara employees that watch this
now that message to say, no, you can't. I don't know what's true and what's not. And I, to be
honest, I'm quite by the book with things. I probably wouldn't, I wouldn't even be able to
begin to try. I would just know it would make me want to die. That doesn't even cross my mind
that that is an option. I'm also, I need to leave and I don't want to pick another jacket because
that involves too many choices and I will not make it to the train station. What I decided to do was
cut, painstakingly, cut this situation off of the back. I was left with a lot of like white
stitching here. It basically would have looked like I had either been pooed on by a bird or I
had got chewing gum on myself. So what I did was I got a V eyeliner and very quickly stabbed the
coat. So now it just looks like my coat has maybe got ripped and been stitched back up. So that is
my story about this coat and my really ridiculous mistake. And I've had multiple messages from
people who have either seen people wearing this coat who haven't done what I've done,
and they've just left it on the back. And basically people have gone up to the coat wearer
and tried to pull the sticker off because they're like, oh, you've got a sticker on your back.
And the person's like, please get off of me. It's a design on my coat. Or I've been messaged by those
people that are the people that have this coat. And they're like, yeah, people keep coming up to
me and trying to take stickers off my back. And both are like super embarrassed or annoyed by the
situation. Someone has actually messaged me since as well to say that this brand that they've
collabed with on this coat actually do really, really beautiful pieces. And it's a shame that
the coat, sorry, aeroplane. And it's a shame that the coat has this kind of design because apparently
their actual designs are so much nicer. Yeah, that's my little story. And if you see me wearing
this coat and wonder why I don't link to it, that's why because I really don't want someone
else making the same mistake that I made and looking at the coat or looking at me wearing
the coat being like, that's such a lovely coat. They haven't seen all of the stitching that I've
taken off of it. And then they go and buy it and are also disappointed. I don't want people to feel
disappointed. So I will not be linking it. I'm sure most people are more smart than I am. But
just on the off chance I really don't want to know when I was being really disappointed or
annoyed at me. One thing I did pick up from Zara this month, I was super happy with this was from
is this ginormous oversized navy knit. It's a wool knit is so soft. It is gorgeous. It's in a navy,
which I love because I just love a navy blue. And weirdly, I used to hate navy blue. It was my school
uniform colour. I'm really happy with this. I got it in a size extra small. It looks like it still
has the tag in but it doesn't. I'm just lazy. Absolutely in love with that one. The next one
I'm going to want your opinion on because as you can see, still with the tagging,
I am undecided. I haven't actually reached for this one yet. And everything else I bought when
I was with my mom, I have already reached for and worn. And this one I haven't. So I'm feeling like
that says a lot. I'm going to show you what it looks like on but I'm feeling like this one might
go back because I haven't reached for it. And it's been like two weeks now. Then I also picked up
this little gilet, which is so sweet. It actually looks really nice with the jumper that I'm wearing
right now. Annoyingly, this shearling is quite a not bright white, but it's very white. So you
have to make sure that you're wearing a jumper with the right tone on underneath. Like if there's
a yellow tone does not look good. So I got this in an extra small going into like the slightly warmer
winter weather, I could wear like a slightly less chunky knit underneath. And it's maybe like a
neutral creamy beige tone or like a white ribbed knit would be really, really nice as well. Yeah,
just a nice little winter to spring piece. It'll be really lovely next autumn as well. I think I
have a few more things to show you that I picked up and these I'm so excited about. So I picked up
a couple of pieces from Reformation and the first is this gorgeous black wrap skirt. It's that
material that's called like lyre sell or something like that. I got it in a size two. I think it is
cold wash only so something to bear in mind before you buy it. But yeah, it's really beautiful. I
wanted a skirt that was quite a long skirt, so almost like a maxi skirt on me. And I really like
that this one still had because it was a wrap, it still has a little bit of a slit in it. So like a
little bit of movement because I've got another one that is maxi but low rise that I wore a lot
in the summer and love. I actually need to dig that out because I feel like I could definitely
style that up in winter at the moment. But it doesn't have as much movement in the legs because
there's no wrap elements. So this one is more of a kind of like I'm stomping around London kind of
maxi skirt if that makes sense. And I thought it would just be a really nice one for kind of
everyday, more like smart casual styling. So like when I go to meetings and things. I also
got this to pair with it, which is a gorgeous like boxy cropped blazer. And if you watched my videos
this time last spring summer, I would say spring actually, there was a linen blazer from Zara,
which I still have and I adore. And I got a lot of wear out of that. And I loved wearing it with
baggy jeans. And I'd been thinking to myself that it's linen, it's not very winter appropriate,
I kept thinking to myself, I would love a winter version of that. And even just wintry in colour,
because obviously, like in winter, a cropped blazer isn't really practical. And but I was
thinking, God, I would really love like a wintry, coloured, materialed version of that. And I saw
this and I was like, that is stunning. And the fit of this is chef's kiss. And it looks so good
with the skirt, but also just looks great with so many other pieces in my wardrobe. And so I'm so
excited to have this. And I actually love like, I'm not normally a grey lover, but I really love
the colour of it. I need to get a little lint roller, please excuse it. But yeah, I am so,
so happy with it. So I'm really excited to get wearing that once it stops being so cold. And
then the final thing I picked up from Reformation is this dress. And I'm going to need your help
with this one because I really can't decide whether to keep this. I actually picked this
up at the start of January. That was when I placed this order. And I've since seen a few
people wearing it. And I really, really love it on them. And it's kind of swaying me, but I need
to like, I need to figure out where I would wear this. And it is quite a specific vibe. Like on me,
it's a full length back velvet lacy dress. And you could definitely like casual it down. And I think
for like smart, casual events in the evening where I don't want to be like super dressy,
but I want to look nice, this would like a leather jacket or an oversized blazer or just like a big
coat could be gorgeous. But I just need your opinion on this. I need to I need other people's
opinions. I've just finished clearing up and looked in the mirror and my hair is literally
back in a middle part. So that's a sign. Anyway, I'm going to show you a quick outfit of the day
before I get ready to go out on one of my stupid mental health walks because I need to get out of
this funk. And I think a good walk, especially in the freezing cold, I just really like what's
the phrase, blow out the cobwebs or something like that. I just think it's going to be good
for me and I cannot have this funk going on for longer than one vlog. I just don't ever feel like
it's good vibes to be watching for me or for you. Anyway, I am wearing this knit from and other
stories. I am just loving all of their knits this winter. I'm wearing a lot of the ones that I have
from previous years as well. And this is another one of my favourites. It's got this like really
long floppy roll neck thing. So you can have it like all the way up if you have. I have a very
short neck for reference. If you ever see me wearing like roll necks, I have a very, very
short neck. So I feel like lots of my friends could wear this and still have a little bit of
like neck showing. But for me, it like covers my chin. But you can roll it like downwards like
this. Sometimes I roll it in as well. And I'm just wearing it with my low rise ripped jeans.
And I literally have not taken them off for the best part of the week now. I'm really enjoying
wearing them. They're super comfy. I really feel like a boy when I wear these like because they
even ride down so low that you have to like pull them up like boys do. So it makes me really laugh.
I'm like, oh, this is what it must feel like to be a boy. I feel like my like bum is literally
about to be hanging out. Anyway, okay, I'm going on my walk. Chef Ryan is starting the dinner.
I have figured out a solution to my whole parting issue. And that is just put on a giant headband
and hope for the best. My little walking outfit today is my stupid Zara coat. I've also got,
please hold whilst I put my tea down. I've got this. This is from like H&M. It's like a
knitted dad vest thing, but I've got just a plain black body on underneath. And yeah, this works
really nicely because you don't end up with loads of layers on the sleeves, which really bugs me.
It makes me feel too bulky. So I love this in the winter. I've got my Monica Vinader earrings in.
I've had this Edge of Ember, Victoria collab, Gaia chain on the whole time, but because of my
jumper, you can see it. And then I've just got Adenola leggings, Adenola socks, and my Nike
trainers as always. And then a little strawberry and cucumber tea. And I'm going to find some
gloves so that my fingers don't fall off. See you in a bit. Another stupid mental health walk.
Vista. Gorgeous day. I literally just love coming down here. It's like my favourite thing. Love
being by the sea. Just, I don't love water. Don't love being in it, but love being next to it.
Wow. My face is so shiny. I have just got out of the bath. Yes, I sat in the bath with my makeup
on. I didn't have the mental capacity to take it off before I got in. It is what it is. I'm about
to cleanse, but I finished my book, which I have been reading this week. I literally started it
less than a week ago and I got through it very, very quickly. I absolutely love this book. I love
Lucy Foley's other two books I've read, which were The Hunting Party and The Guest List.
Love them. Would highly recommend. Other than that, I haven't been up so much since I got back
from my walk, which I have decided I need to make an effort to do more like, not daily,
but almost daily. As daily as humanly possible, because it really does just like,
mentally rejig me. I know I obviously call it a stupid mental health walk,
and it's a joke, so before anyone like, gets upset about it, I am aware that it's important
and mental health is important, because that's why I do the walks, because I know, I know it's
important. But the beach was just beautiful and I felt so much better when I got back in. So,
yeah, gonna try and do that again tomorrow. It's always just hard to justify when you've got a
very long to-do list. However, I just think I'm gonna hit the to-do list even harder if I actually
feel like, mentally, you know, charged. What is the word? I don't even know. Able. So, yeah,
that's my not-so-genius realisation of the afternoon. Exercise is good for my mental health.
Who knew? Now I need to, I need to cleanse, because it is upsetting me at this point that
I have had my makeup on for so long. Look at that headband line. Stunning. I also forgot to show you
the other thing that I bought, which are these pyjamas. I've got the black Nadine Moravi pyjamas,
which have the feathers on the top and the bottom, and I love them. I have them in pink and green,
which they very kindly sent to me. Well, they sent me the green and the pink were gifted to me
through Elizabeth Arden, but I've always wanted the black pair, so I decided to pick them up,
just because I was like, I know I'm gonna get so much wear out of them. They're literally,
like, the nicest thing to wear around the house. So, yeah, this was the final thing that I bought
this month. Oh, and plus these headbands, which I get so many questions on, and I literally just
picked them up from Boots. They come with a black one and a grey one, and they're really handy just
for, like, smushing your hair back. I'm gonna go now, and hopefully next vlog I will be fully out
of my funky mood. Fingers crossed, because we cannot go on like this. Thank you all for bearing
with me whilst I had a break, well, today, but it will be last Sunday for you guys. I just want to
get ahead, and if I do have a week where there's, like, all of the issues that I've, like, had this
week, it doesn't impact the vlog, and I'm also not working right the way up until, like, we go live.
It just literally doesn't allow for anything to go wrong, so I just kind of want to get, like, a
video ahead. I should have done this at the start of January and just delayed the first video that
I put out with the year, but I was just too excited, and I just wanted to get back, um, into, like, the
swinger things, um, but actually I'm just gonna stagger, so we're, like, a week behind, and yeah,
then hopefully if anything goes wrong and plans get cancelled, I'm not vlogging on a Saturday to
go live on a Sunday, but anyway, no one cares, uh, but thank you for bearing with me. I'm going to go now. Love you, bye.
