Hello, how are we all doing?
It is first day in the new house slash Ryan's house
slash not really the new house, but a different house
and new to some of you because the last time
we were in this house was quite a while ago now.
It has taken me longer than I care to admit today
to locate my hairbrush and I have still unpacked
a grand total of zero things that are not skincare
and makeup, but what I did do today was go to the house.
Ryan is working there today and also we just needed
to go there and like accept deliveries and stuff.
I did think our bathroom suite was coming today,
but apparently that's now coming tomorrow,
so I will need to do a trip to the house tomorrow.
I have gone and had my nails done for a little content
project that I'm working on at the moment.
I just didn't wanna do my right hand with my left hand,
so I went to Ella because it saves me about three hours
because it takes me literally like a good two hours
at the very least to do anything on this hand
with my left hand.
My left hand is just, it's a useless hand, really.
Like my right hand is very, very, very dominant.
Sadly, I was not the sibling that was gifted
the ambidextrous abilities.
My brother got that one.
It really isn't very fair.
I wasn't really gifted much.
Just kidding.
Okay, that feels better.
Oh, I've been through the whole day
without having brushed my hair.
So that's what I've been up to so far today.
I've done a little bit of work, but as you can see,
the house is still a very blank slate.
I look like I am in an episode of the Sims or something.
We have got like a whole wardrobe to fill.
Brian has let me have this wardrobe.
He'll take the identical one, but in a different room.
This one just faces the right way.
It's got the good light.
We love that.
It's also a little bit noisy in this room,
but I'll be sweating if I shut the window
because it is so warm today.
And I have to say, I'm just not used to living in a house
like the upstairs.
If you have an upstairs in the UK, it just gets so warm.
And in the UK, we do not have air con,
which lots of you from other countries are shocked
to find out whenever there's the mention
of houses getting hot, they're just like,
just turn your air con on.
And it's like, oh, if I could.
It's also extortionate to install, so it's not happening.
But anyway, I think I'm going to unpack my stuff
into the wardrobe.
This house needs girl energy.
It needs big girl energy.
That is what we're going to be adding to it this week.
I'm going to go, I think when I go back to the house tomorrow
I'm going to get some more bits
that are normally styled up in my home,
but I'm going to bring them here just to kind of like,
I have never really like settled into this house.
And I know we're here for three weeks and to a lot of people
that's not a very long time,
but I just find like when I was here previously,
I would come here for like a break.
I would come here to not work
because there was never any of my stuff here.
As you can see, it's a very blank canvas.
As I obviously just said, the house has big boy energy.
Like this house, zoned by Ryan.
And then previous to that, zoned by another man, Solo.
So it just has no girl energy in it.
And it hasn't had girl energy in it for a long time.
So we are going to inject BG girl energy.
So I'm going to bring some of my bits here
just so I can feel like I'm in a space that is mine.
And I can like just get some work done,
which sounds so dumb if you're not a content creator,
but if you're not in your space as a content creator
and a space that you can't make your own,
like my friend that was living here,
she found it super hard to work in.
Cause it just, she didn't like unpack anything.
And it just wasn't a space that she was able to like
put her own stamp on and she found it really difficult.
And I completely understand that
because I have the exact same issue.
So I don't want to spend another three weeks
because I've already spent three weeks of the reno
trying like to just work on the weekends.
I'm not working like that anymore.
We are going to get back on track.
We are going to be making content.
We are going to be doing the most.
And in order to do that,
I really need to like make this space a girl zone, you know?
So that's what we're going to be doing.
I'm going to grab my things.
I am going to stay not in aesthetically pleasing clothing
though today because I just, I'm not changing.
I can't be bothered.
I still need to walk the dog
and just do loads of like cleaning and stuff.
So I am going to stay looking like a little bit sloppy.
Bailey tripped over you.
Come here, Bailey.
You're loving it here, aren't you?
Some windows to look out on.
So yeah, anyway, that is what we are going to be doing today.
I'm going to do this in a bit,
but I'm going to also rejig the bed a little bit
because the gray, the gray pillows are upsetting me.
It's real like boy bedding, you know?
So I bought my own duvet.
So at least we've got that,
but we need to add some like girl vibes to the bed.
But anyway, let's get started.
Okay, somewhere in these boxes is my bedding.
Stunning.
Ooh, what do we think?
Got this or go for this.
Or we have matching.
What do we think?
I mean, she sat by the stripes.
So I'm thinking maybe she likes the stripes.
You like the stripes?
Okay, we only have one of these.
We're going to go matching for now.
And then I'm going to ask Ryan
to find another pillowcase before he comes back.
Okay, get rid of these.
I'm out of the pillowcase.
Okay, we are getting there. It looks really nice. I actually, these wardrobes are incredibly impractical
but in terms of like just from a styling, very bougie perspective, they're really really fun to
play about with if you've got like things that you can make the shelves look nice with. Like one of
my friends I think has something like this and she's done like less bags, more like cute aesthetic
book things and stuff like that. These are just, they're just really fun shelves that you can play
about with a lot. Like Ryan used to put like kind of vintage-y cameras and things like that on them
and like musicky bits, musicky bits, the technical term, music stuff that looked aesthetic and like
vinyls and stuff like that. My aesthetic is very very different. God, it's so hot in this house.
Shout out to everyone that has houses because I don't know how you guys are surviving the summer.
Yeah, very happy with it. It looks cute. I will be stealing a rail off Ryan though because there's
no space for like longer dresses and I did bring a few so gonna be stealing his rail which he is
fine with because he's not using it. Excuse the noise, it's very noisy here. But anyway, we have got
shoes. I haven't unpacked my shoes but they'll be down here. I don't think I brought any like really
cute pairs of shoes that I will display but I don't know, maybe I'll change my mind. Yeah, shoes I
think are gonna go right down the bottom where they belong. This little cubby hole, we normally
put a little bed for Nala in so I've kind of left that there but it's also a great nook for winter
boots. Sadly I've never been able to use it for that because we were in lockdown when I kind of
stayed here a lot and that we weren't going anywhere. Yeah, the majority of my bags are just
like down here and then it's got a few of my favorites around the main kind of bit of the
wardrobe. Yeah, it's really cute, very happy with that. Also it's very satisfying that there is a whole
like nook big enough for my YSL Iketo because I don't have space for this at home. It normally
just hangs on a door handle. It's really really satisfying having an actual little hole for it to
go in. I didn't build that into my wardrobe because I didn't have it at the time and would
have been slightly impractical too but there we go, lovely. But yeah, now I'm gonna go on a little
dog walk and then pop in and see my family so that is probably gonna be all the organizing
there is for this evening but I will be back with you tomorrow for round two of big girl energy
going into this house. The more I look at it the more these bedside tables need something like it's
so I love like the all white everything aesthetic but look at it, it doesn't look real. If you
thought my house was all white everything this house is like the step up from that. It's crazy.
Yeah, really beautiful because like the light in this house is just stunning. It's absolutely
gorgeous so I can't complain. Hello everybody, today has not been a good day. It is nearly 2pm.
I have cried twice, still have no makeup on, I have got nothing done today. I really thought in
moving out of my house that I might be able to get like five minutes to get something done but
apparently not. I won't bore you with the real ins and outs of today because honestly it's such a
joke. The amount of time that of mine that is being wasted right now is just phenomenal. On top of
that I don't know where anything is. I have just spent so long trying to find my batteries. I
charged a load because I knew I wouldn't be able to find my battery charger for a little while in
amongst all of the stuff that I packed so I charged a load. Did I remember where I put them? Absolutely
not. And then I also couldn't find my battery charger and then I realised it was still at home.
So I have been to my house twice today. I waited at my house this morning for a delivery that was
just never coming. My bathroom is just not turning up. I think I'm having a breakdown. I'm starting
to realise when I speak to people and they're like oh it's it's all going really quickly wow
you're already nearly there like wow how is that possible like most loft conversions take
x amount of time. I realised today why it's actually able to progress and it's basically
because I have not really been able to work properly for the best part of a month now because
I am constantly needed at my house for something and I was talking to Ryan earlier this is real
like you don't need to be hearing this but I actually need to rant to someone. I asked Ryan
to do just like a couple of bits like if the bathroom arrives please do this and please do
this and I could see him in his head thinking well like I need to work and that's fine that's
not on him like as you should but then that made me realise how much I've been doing every single
day and this is why I'm not getting anything done work-wise because every single day I'm like well
this needs to be done and that needs to be done and then this needs to be done and you know when
this arrives it needs to be checked and I was suddenly like this is why this renovation has
been going to plan because my job has been reno. Also I was locked outside my house another detail
that I won't bore you with like the ins and outs of but I was locked out my house but still waiting
for my bathroom to turn up and whilst I was waiting for my bathroom to turn up a different
delivery that I didn't know about turned up and I was thinking what would have happened if I wasn't
in and if we just hadn't been living in this house the entire time this renovation had been happening
what would have happened to that delivery who would have accepted that yeah I just I'm kind of
I think I realised today how much I have been doing and how much my job really has just been
reno the best part of a month and how fed up of it I now am because all I want to do is get back
onto like a two video a month schedule and make some TikToks and just read through my brand briefs
and just I was doing that on my doorstep and you know when you're just like what is my life like
this is so dumb like how have I got into this situation I'm literally reading through briefs
on my doorstep because this is the only time that I'm actually getting uninterrupted I just need to
breathe so I have finally got a battery charger and I found a battery in my car thank you the
universe literally just was like here's a battery honey I've put on a nice dress I am going to try
and disguise my greasy hair all I really want is a pamper day I need a hair mask I need to wash my
hair I want to put on some tan I just want to feel nice I want to try out my new IPL device
because your girl is sick of shaving and I just want to have a nice uninterrupted five minutes
with my dog who is currently lying on the floor because it's boiling in here by the way if I start
getting like a sweaty stash we've had to shut the windows because Brian's air is really loud
if I'm sweating that's why and the dog's currently just like lying on the floor hating life I'm so
sorry babes I need a moment but I don't need in a moment I don't want a moment I don't want to have
more time being unproductive I just want to know where all my things are I want to not be crying
on a Wednesday morning even a Wednesday I want to know what day it is I also want time to make
some lunch I was meant to literally go to my house drop Brian to his hair appointment why do boys have
their hair cut every five minutes honestly it's too much and then I was going to come home I was
just gonna grab something from the house yeah the long and short is I'm done I'm over it I might just
tell Ryan that his job is Reno from now on do we go down that's been my day so far in a nutshell or
not so much of a nutshell but now we are going to make a little smoothie you know my smoothie that
I have been loving we're going to unpack some boxes we're going to take the dog on a little
walk going to turn this day around I love this eyeshadow this is the Armani eye tint in the shade
20 and I'm blending it out with a Veve small eyeshadow blender this brush is so good the combo
is just unreal and I take it like right up to my brow bone just to get a super seamless blend oh
my god also I saw some stuff about the new American horror story this morning that has Kim
Kardashian in it how many of you are opting out of this not for Kim Kardashian but because of the
fact that it's about spiders because I actually I'm not like what is it arachnophobic like I am
the person in our household that deals with the spiders but I don't know if I can watch that like
on my own as well because there's no way Ryan's watching that with me are you watching it are you
going to watch it please let me know I'm kind of like buzzing for it to come out but I'm a little
bit scared as well because I don't want to have nightmares but I am looking forward to autumn
television massively I started watching at home with the furies I actually love Molly Mae I really
like the fact that although she's literally picked apart for everything she still speaks in a way of
not filtering herself for the fact that she knows she's gonna be what she says can be picked apart
whereas like I have spent years being really scared to like really say anything of note because I get
so scared of like how someone will take that and just put a negative spin on it even though that's
not what I meant or how I said it or my intention whatsoever and I have spent years just not talking
like and I can tell when other youtubers do it as well because I also do it so I can see when someone
is like filtering themselves and it's why everyone loves a new content creator it's not actually
necessarily sometimes it is the fact that they're a good content creator but a lot of the time we
love finding new content creators because they still speak normally and I really love the fact
that she still like is so unfiltered I mean in the tv show it's definitely like I can really tell
and they've been like so can you talk a bit about this I still really enjoy it just because I
actually haven't watched any kind of reality tv apart from the Kardashians but British reality tv
in so long so I'm really loving it and Ryan's also really enjoying it because he loves a bit of
reality tv so that is our thing that we're enjoying watching at the moment which is a stark contrast
from what we just finished which was beef which was sensational like if they don't win awards for
that that will be an absolute travesty because beef was unreal I've I've never seen anything
like it it was so good I also did think every time every episode I was like surely this is the end
then when I didn't want it to end and highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yeah after
I'm finished at home with the furies I'm basically back to watching Emily in Paris just on repeat
again so if you have anything that you've been loving that sounds like any of my very all very
different recommendations that I've just given let me know because I think Ryan might scream if he
sees Emily in Paris on the tv one more time it's like you know how people put friends on or I used
to put Gilmore Girls on when I'm just like not doing anything and I just need to like zone out
Emily in Paris is the new Gilmore Girls I love it I'm obsessed I actually might devote a whole
series oh god I've got an eyelash oh no oh even my eyelashes are turning on me anyway there we go
maybe that's the vibe of today turning things back around but anyway Emily in Paris I could
dedicate like an entire podcast segment like I could probably do like a good six parter on Emily
in Paris I love it I love it and I have thoughts I know podcasts will be coming back it will resume
at some point when my job is no longer reno can't wait I am obsessed with this blush I haven't talked
about it enough already the NARS afterglow liquid blush in shade dolce vita I have actually
bought some other colours to try out but it's just this one is just my favourite I'm kind of
addicted to it I don't really want to change it and then the other makeup love of my life this
summer I don't I actually don't think makeup would have stayed on my face without this I didn't use
it yesterday and I looked at my face halfway through the day and I was like you are a state
I also like to spray a little bit onto my concealer brush and just well this always makes
my eyes go funny but I like to tap it underneath my eyes and then around my nose just so we get a
really good concentrated amount of that over where my concealer likes to kind of move around I always
forget about this bit as well because otherwise I always get like a little bit liney here so it
just helps to stop that and I love it
So do you see what I mean about it's giving boy energy in here?
The lamp is mine, if you remember.
Don't you think? Boy energy, right?
Like, why are there pillows on the floor?
So we're going to have some fun this afternoon or tomorrow.
I don't know when, but we're going to have some fun in here
because these shelves, they need some spice, you know?
Boy energy continued.
Yes.
This dining table. Boy energy.
Ryan's house is quite literally the antithesis.
Apart from the fact that they're both painted white,
this is quite literally the antithesis of my, wow, we're bright.
It is the opposite end to my house that has so much stuff
and everything is so soft and girly, but I will give it to him.
There is so little stuff in this house
that I feel incredibly zen when I come here.
So yeah, he is making me want to throw out all my things.
Okay, phase two, here we go.
Okay, all my things are unpacked.
That was boring and tedious,
but now we are moving on to the fun bit,
which is adding some girl touches to Ryan's house,
which I've been looking forward to doing for so long.
Here we are, this was actually harder than I thought because they didn't have the plethora
of stuff that I normally would style shelves with at home.
I literally just bought a select few items and then I'm also trying to make them work
with some of Ryan's things, so yeah, this was a little bit of a challenge but nothing
too bad.
I definitely think, if in doubt, if any of you are trying to like spice up your boyfriend
or partner's house and it's very masculine and you want to add some feminine touches
but without them going like crazy, crystals.
In my experience, works like a charm.
Candles really help, I don't know how the pink one's gonna fly but yeah.
I've just tried to make it really balanced in terms of like mixing darker colours with
lighter colours and hopefully that's kind of like merging our two aesthetics really
nicely so this is kind of how it's turned out.
I'm happy with it, as soon as I put flowers in here I was like yeah, okay, now this feels
done.
I also forgot to show you, I gave the wardrobe a little tweak as well.
I just doubled up some bags so that I have more space for shoes and kind of made a display
of some of the shoes as well and I'm really happy with this.
The only thing I'm missing and I do really want to bring from home is my stool from the
bedroom.
I think it would slot under here so nicely and then when I do my makeup with you guys,
I can sit on the stool and sit here and have like a cute little backdrop so that is the
only thing I think I'm gonna tweak.
That and my mirror coming here but yeah, I think we're done.
Good morning! Raise your hand if you are hungover. Happy bank holiday Monday. This morning I can't
decide if this was a fantastic idea or an absolutely terrible idea but I actually have
a hair appointment. I don't know why I actually need to get my hair coloured less, like I don't
actually think I need it at the moment but going anyway because we love a hair wash which I actually
think is probably quite nice. I've just had like a shower and I'm gonna get a hair wash and hopefully
later on today I'll be feeling so much fresher than I currently do so. I also need to go and
check on the house. I've just got a few bits to check over so I thought I'd give you a little
house update. I need to grab a couple of things, that classic me I have not thought about that I
need and then I am coming home to lie on the sofa and make mac and cheese and not wait. Honestly I'd
still be in bed if it wasn't for this hair appointment so maybe the hair appointment is
actually saving the day because it means you're getting some vlog footage. Today's outfit is just
super comfy. I was gonna wear my maxi skirt, my blue one that I haven't worn since like spring. I
realised I didn't pack like a, it's a low rise, well on me it sits lower on the waist so I don't
have a long enough top to wear with it that looks cute so I'm gonna grab a top whilst I'm at the
house as well but instead I've just gone for my Zara linen trousers, Veja trainers. This top I think
is from Topshop on Asos. I don't know where these earrings are from, I keep wearing them in the
vlogs and then go to link them in every info box and I have absolutely no idea where they're from
and they've got some little pearls that you can add and or you can take away. I honestly, I don't
know where they're from. And then I'm gonna take my Chanel 22. I've actually been getting more wear
out of this recently, I'm really enjoying it so it's definitely one of those like transitional
season type of bags I think. Yeah I've been wearing a lot more relaxed looks lately and it works
really well with stuff like that as well. So yeah that is my outfit of the day. I've done a full
face of makeup as well which is abnormal when I'm hungover but I just kind of felt like if I got out
of the hairdressers and had a fresh blow dry I'd feel a bit like it was a waste if I then was like
in sloth mode. So I just was like you know what we're gonna drag me out of my hungover state today
and put on makeup and go get a blow dry and you know the whole shebang, do my greys, toner. You
guys know what a hair appointment entails anyway. Ignore the towel on the radiator but I thought I'd
give you a little home update. We have shoes missing so let's ignore that but in addition to
the mirror that you just saw me vlogging in we also have the new addition to the bedroom of my
footstool. Look how perfectly it fits in that space. I just looked at that space and I was like
do you know what would fit beautifully in there? My footstool. So we've brought this from our
bedroom at home for no reason other than the fact that it looks 10 out of 10 there rather than my
kind of big overnight bag. So yeah very happy with that. Really love how this is looking. This is
kind of making me rethink my walk-in wardrobe situation. Like I just I now need shelving for
the bags which I didn't think I originally wanted. We discussed me not having it and having drawers
for the bags instead. Now I'm thinking I need it. Let me know what you think. My favourite mirror from
home has come, well one of my favourite mirrors from home has come with me as well. Ron and his
brother bought this over the other day and I'm so happy about it because it's just so much nicer
than the mirror that was there before. Proper like lad pad mirror and this one's so much bigger.
This makes me realise how big the rooms in my house are because this mirror looks enormous in
this room and when this is in a room at home it looks so tiny so I'm so confused. I thought they
bought a different mirror. It just looks enormous in this space and in this room. I'm confused.
Anyway let's go get some swishy hair and see the house. There's been quite a lot of progress I
think since you last saw it which I'm we're at that stage now where I'm kind of like it's nice
to like leave longer chunks in between because in the early stages like every day it looks different
but now it's kind of like subtle things every day like plastering takes quite a while and stuff like
that so there's actually been quite a fair bit of progress since I last showed you in the vlog.
So I'm gonna head over there now.
done. We are looking nice and fresh, a little bit dark but it will wash out. This is just how it
kind of looks when my hair is freshly rooted and toned but it always lifts out. Just in time for
sub autumn and our holiday in a few weeks. I'm so excited. It feels really good. Love having
a fresh blow dry that I didn't have to do myself. Here's life. Okay so quick little updates. The
bathroom has arrived. I checked it yesterday and it is all good. Nothing's broken thankfully. This
is where we are at with the upstairs. We have plastering. How good is this? Not this room.
This room has not been plastered yet but everywhere else has been plastered. The bathroom has also
been plastered. The tray is going in today which is so exciting. Yeah so hopefully this bathroom
will start looking like a bathroom soon. Can't wait. Here you can see this is where we're going
to have some storage and then more storage here. Yeah that is it. That is the current update.
