Hello everybody, so today it is Thursday.
I'm in a very good mood this morning.
I have just finished off a little bit of work
for Bare Minerals, which I'm really excited about.
So you probably would have seen that on Instagram
by the time this goes up.
It was really cool, basically put party makeup
all over my face, all over my face, on my face.
So like red lip and everything.
And I've like now taken all of that off,
so it's not like spoilers.
I'm actually like not wearing anything on my skin
and it feels really nice
because I've been wearing loads of makeup recently.
I've got a ton of stuff on my eyes.
But anyway, I am driving right now
and I am going to pick up the one and only,
I covered the, Alex is in town, literally in town.
She's currently in Zara,
which I think is all of the information you need.
She's on the phone to me,
trying to convince me to go on a spending ban
and she's in Zara, no.
So yeah, she's just gonna come chill today.
It's gonna be really nice.
I think Poppy might pop around later.
So it's just like nice, chilled day with my friends.
It is like such a miserable day though.
We really wanted to have like a lovely,
festive afternoon together and it's just grim, so grim.
So we're just gonna have a nice, cosy afternoon at the mine
and I've been feeling a little bit like overwhelmed
by everything recently, like doing Vlogmas
and there's a lot of other stuff going on
and we're cracking up on Christmas this year
and there's so much to think about
and there's so much that's on my mind right now
that I think I'm like,
I am currently listening to my top played things on Spotify.
The songs that made your 2017.
Man, this weather is grim.
I know I said I was staying in the car
but I'm the one getting bagels now.
Grim.
Look what the cat dragged in.
I don't know if she's seen me.
She got me a Starbucks.
Pure sugar in a bottle, in a cat.
Hi, it's me.
We've literally just done a catch up in Alex's vlog
so now I feel like we kind of need to do the same thing
for you guys, otherwise it's not fair.
Yeah, we've gotta get some fresh content though.
Yeah.
Get your own ideas.
What am I gonna talk about?
How are you?
What's up?
How's it going?
I'm alright, I'm alright.
The car's fogging up and I'm feeling claustrophobic
so I'm gonna start driving in a second.
But I was just telling them about how our nice,
festive day has kind of been ruined by the weather.
Are we supposed to have a nice, festive day?
I had nice, festive plans, like, not major, but.
Did they involve going outdoors?
Well, it was just like, we go for lunch.
Yeah, that.
And then we'd maybe walk to the car park
and it would be festive.
We did walk to the car park.
Yeah, we did.
With our Starbucks in, so I guess we got somewhere.
Are there Christmas lights around here?
There will be at my house later, so.
You're gonna be helping me mark.
That does, that's outside job.
Susie insulted me today.
She said I was in the wrong age box,
even though it was the right age box.
No, it's not.
You're not in my core audience's age box anymore, love.
It was used in a very, like, derogatory way.
No, it wasn't.
I felt old.
No, it wasn't.
You're such a little drama queen.
I'm touchy about my age.
Yeah, you are.
You are a massive little drama queen.
Bless you.
Thanks.
She was like, I'm so offended by this.
I was like, alright.
I was on the phone, and I was queuing in Zara,
and I said, excuse me, really loudly,
and everyone turned around, literally.
The people in front of me turned around,
and they were like, what?
Then I realised they should probably, like,
bring it down a notch.
Because when I'm on the phone to you, like,
It's different.
There, there, there.
Didn't realise I was in public.
I was telling them about you being in Zara,
telling me I should go on a spending ban.
Yeah.
No.
Spending ban, Jan.
Make it happen.
Can we just address how orange I am today?
I'm not, I'm not wearing,
I'm not wearing anything on my skin.
Like, all my foundation has been taken off.
Look how orange I am though.
I put that Charlotte Tilbury mask on,
that I said in my office clear out,
I was going to give one last chance.
And to be fair, I'm glowing.
Like, it tanned, and I'm really happy,
because it's like a visible result.
But my God, like the areas around my nose,
where I do tend to get a bit orange, if I tan,
they are something else.
Something else.
My verdict's still not out on that mask.
I like that.
For me, it's really natural,
but then I started at basically white anyway.
Like, pure.
Yeah.
But then you think it would be more, yeah.
I'm wondering if maybe I put too much on.
Maybe you did.
Did you put anything underneath it?
No, because I know that if you put,
you're not meant to put oil on before fake tans,
so I didn't use any of my oils,
which is basically my skincare routine.
Yeah, I do my normal skincare routine,
and I just put it on the top.
Do you do oils though?
Sometimes I put stuff on top of it, yeah.
Hmm.
That's how I felt when you were in the queue in Zara.
Where are we going?
I don't know.
You don't know where we're going.
Look at me.
Okay, where we are.
You said you didn't want two dogs,
because they're too difficult.
Love has so much.
So much love going on right now.
So I bought a few things,
and we thought it would be fun
to get Alex to comment on my purchases.
Basically, I did a bit of a Zara order last night.
I had so much fun.
I actually filmed what I was doing,
so I'm gonna insert that now.
Did you love that?
I loved that.
Yeah, I had so much fun last night.
So my order has arrived.
I actually was in a world of mood,
because I realised,
I thought it was really late,
because it was pitch black,
and I was like,
oh, I'm not gonna get next day delivery like tomorrow.
It was only five o'clock.
Oh, that's the best feeling.
And it's like next day delivery until seven,
which is great.
So it arrived today,
and I've decided that.
Open it.
Okay, it is here.
I'm gonna show you what I bought.
Yeah, and Alex is gonna give us her opinions,
because Alex commenting on my purchases
is hands down one of my favourite things,
because she just takes the mick out of everything I buy.
Do you not?
Is that not correct?
No comment.
We'll see.
That was Instagramming a picture of your dog,
fair with.
Okay.
Go.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
You see?
No.
I took two.
Okay.
I mean, you know how I feel about teddy bear fluffy coats.
Work, work, work.
It looks very cosy.
It's so soft.
I didn't think it'd be that soft.
Yay!
Yeah, I like the length of it.
I'm gonna try this on
when I don't have a giant jumper on underneath.
This is what you've just been doing all day.
I think that'll look so nice on you.
I know you don't like a warm tone.
Oh, is it tight?
I like it.
Not quite my size.
I'm not even trying to raise my arm.
It just sucks like this.
If it came in pink, I'd love it.
Oh, that would be too much for me.
The thing is, you want everything in pink,
but then you're like,
oh, I didn't actually really...
I don't ever wear pink.
I don't like wearing pink.
Yeah, you wanted to have it round.
Okay, the jumper that I thought I had
that I thought was the same as yours,
but it's not.
Oh no, I like that one so much better.
It's so cute.
I am really obsessed at the moment with anything 80s.
Yes.
Like it.
I like the red and the pink together.
That's a cool color.
It's so cute.
I like that a lot.
Ooh.
Interesting.
That makes a noise.
Christmas day.
Yes.
Wait, you wear that kind of thing on Christmas day.
Where does the Christmas dinner go?
And a pineapple bun.
I'm wearing leggings.
Business on the top.
Party on the bottom.
Oh wait, the other way around.
I love how much like...
I'm gonna say that's the one.
Astrological-ness there is at the moment.
You're gonna love something else
I've got to show you in a bit.
That is gorgeous.
I think I nearly ordered that.
It's the same Zara dress
and they've made like seven different prints of it.
I think you've got...
No, yours has got splits in it.
I want that now.
Is this it?
Is that it?
That's all I got.
Okay, that one's my favorite.
I wanna go and put mine on
and then we'll wear them
and we'll be stripy couple twins.
What is your least favorite item?
No.
The coat.
No.
Is the coat your least favorite?
I didn't say anything was my least favorite.
Well, I'm obviously slightly to wear
but I'm not you, so.
Do you like it?
She's sitting on it, she likes it.
What did you just describe that as?
I said she's like a loaf of bread
and a duck had a baby.
And then maybe a squirrel joined in too.
How are you doing down there?
You know I'm talking about you,
your ear just twitched.
Do you wanna come get some dog food with us?
She's trying on jeans.
Over a pair of jeans.
What is wrong with you?
I'm gonna make sure it fits.
What is wrong with your mother?
Oh.
I'm so embarrassed right now.
Why do you guys watch her video?
It's crazy.
I've never seen anything like this before in my life.
In my life.
Don't say I don't ever treat you to anything.
So, on my way to dropping Alex home,
we've got to make an emergency stop
to pets at home
because Rory needs more pet food.
You're gonna move in?
I'm such a weird dog mum.
Me too.
Also a weird dog mum.
Oh, you absolute grinch, enjoy.
Oh, now you just can't beat them.
I love them.
You can't beat them.
They have to be at least like 10, 20 years old.
You know?
But Mariah Carey, all I want for Christmas
is 20.
How is it?
Three years old.
No.
94.
Yeah, because I'm 26.
It's been in my life.
Oh, man.
It has to be over 20 years.
Oh.
You're like, oh, it's so modern.
It's so modern.
It's really not how you see modern homes.
Mariah Carey doesn't look like that anymore.
Do you think we ever do a Christmas song?
Yeah, probably.
I'm kind of surprised that there's nothing for her.
I'm sure there is one.
If not, she needs to be on her.
My head looks massive, are you okay?
Quite sleepy, actually.
Tired, Alex.
It's been a long day of getting my nails done
and eating food.
Such a hard life.
And shopping.
Oh, God, I'm exhausted.
How am I gonna make it through the week?
I have to find a way to like make this into a scarf.
Are you sure you don't want to buy it?
Fine, I'll just carry it.
I don't understand how you're going to function.
Who knew?
No one.
It's not a jumper.
It's not a jumper, it's a scarf.
See ya.
See you later.
Bye.
What?
My hat.
Oh, God, Dennis.
Bye.
Swear to God, this dog loves Poppy more than I do.
Poppy's here, by the way.
Hello.
She never does this with me.
No, she does.
She doesn't.
She does.
She never does this with me.
Is that nice?
I always just turn around and she's like, ah.
She's obsessed with you.
Is that nice?
Yeah?
Come on, then.
What are you doing?
Are you just chilling?
Why do you hate me?
There's always that one bit of hair.
Morning, everybody, and welcome to Vlogmas day nine.
Why I have such an issue with figuring out
what day it is, I will never know.
Why I have such an issue with speaking, I will never know.
Clearly, my brain hasn't woken up yet.
It takes about six hours for my brain to actually wake up,
so here we are.
This morning, I am actually going out
to shoot some blog photos,
and yeah, it's gonna be a nice, chill day.
I've got this video right here to get up.
I'm spying out the window, waiting for Lauren.
I'm actually early slash on time for once.
I'm ready.
I'm ready to go, guys.
It's very exciting for me,
because I'm never ready to go,
but yeah, it's gonna be a nice, chill day.
I'm just gonna get this vlog up
and work on a couple of other videos
and work on some blog posts,
because I still have so many blog posts.
Whilst I wasn't really blogging over October
and November, I was still actually
doing the blog content side of things,
so I have so many posts that are still to come,
so I need to work on those.
I put a new one up yesterday,
so I'll link that in the info box below for you guys,
but yeah, it should be a nice day.
Come on, dogs.
Come on, good girls.
So yeah, off out we go.
Can you hear the faint sound of Christmas music
always in this house?
I got a little package from Space in K through,
which is very nice,
and I was actually really excited about this.
I saw this on the Space in K Instagram,
and some of you might remember years ago,
I did a post on how much I love
the Bumble and Bumble Pret-A-Powder,
and they have sent me the Bumble and Bumble
Pret-A-Powder dry shampoos.
Ah, my God.
This is so exciting.
Wait to use these.
Pret-A-Powder is the most lovely thing
for giving volume and texture to your hair,
and the fact that it comes in a spray bottle
is everything I've ever wanted,
because the little bottle that you have to tip
is kind of irritating.
So this is what happens
when you need to change on a shoot,
and it's freezing,
and this one is nice and toasty in the car.
Yeah, I'm just complaining about my cold fingers,
which isn't really much to complain about.
For those wondering, I can't fit in here,
like I'm all elbows,
and I can't change in the driver's seat,
so I'm out here.
So I'm finally home
after having a bit of a moment
where I was like,
oh my God, I've lost my vlogging camera,
and I hadn't lost my vlogging camera.
I'm like such an idiot.
Just sat there contemplating my life,
and how stupid I am.
I'm just at one of those points
where I'm a little bit like overwhelmed with everything,
and it's making me like forgetful slash not forgetful.
I'm just like flustered,
and I don't look for things properly.
So yeah, I'm gonna have a little working lunch.
I've got myself some sushi,
which I'm very excited about,
and yeah, I'm gonna get editing this video here.
It is many, many hours later,
so it is 20 past five,
and I really should start uploading this video soon.
Thought that I would say goodbye.
I hope you all had a really lovely day,
and I hope you enjoyed the vlog.
I will see you guys again on I think Sunday,
but if not next week for a new video.
Bye guys.
