THE TRAFFORD CENTRE 👜 Primark come shop with me Costco The White Company Manchester Vlog

hello guys good morning and welcome back to my channel how are we all doing how is everybody I hope you're all really really well so if you can hear outside there is some Leaf blowing going on not in our garden but there's something actually I quite like about hearing Leaf blowing and La mowing in the distance cuz I'm like warmer days are coming um but anyway how is everybody doing I am all well today and I am raring to go I am in the mood to shop to shop till I drop I want to maybe pop over to the Trafford Center I do need to go to Costco and pick up some Essentials we maybe pop in there where else do I want to go the white company they've got their new Autumn scent Verde with Autumn Cy just been banging on about how the warmer weather is to come and I'm talking about Autumn already no the new spring scent I know they do spring as a scent anyway but they have a scent called Verde which sounds really nice it sounds a bit of me this is actually from the white company I was just looking at then the viewfinder this kind of like little vest Gile thing that I've got on with long sleeve white top from All Saints and just some jeans some like standard straight jeans from evain I do have a couple of things to return to Primark though so maybe that could be our first Port of Call we'll love a little new and Primark so I think we'll head there first at the Trafford Center then I'll drive over to either Costco or the main part of the traffic Center OH someone's at the door one second not sure what this is I actually don't think it's for me I don't think I've order I feel like this is going to be something that Tom's ordered on Amazon amaz Amazon account has my name on it so we always get the parcels from Amazon um I know what this is it's a very boring purchase it is water filters for our fridge where there's like an ice and filtered water section in our fridge which is the best thing ever guys we use it every single day and I absolutely love it but you do need to replace the filters every few months or however often it is it beeps at you and tells you when you uh need to do it so that's what that is very boring um so yeah anyway I feel like without further Ado we should get on the road and head over to Primark and just have a fun little shopping trip out at the traff center today so I hope you guys enjoy spending these next few moments minutes hours with me who knows how long we'll be out and yeah let's go shopping I will also say A little birdie told me AKA Tik Tok that there is a new was it on Tik Tok I sorry or Instagram I can't remember but there's a new flying tiger that's opening at the traffic center which I haven't been to Flying Tiger in so long probably in fact yeah back when we lived at the old house near Burnley there was a shop in Preston that I used to go to on the oldd occasion i' been there and I don't think I've been there since then so we've been in this house what four years now four isn't that crazy that we've lived in this house especially for those of you that followed the whole time with the whole renovation and everything 4 4 and a half years ago we moved in why does time go I was saying to Tom this the other day I was saying you know that's nearly half of our relationship we've been together 10 it'll be 11 years in August so yeah 10 years and so like four four and a half years of that has been in this house like nearly half of our relationship that is crazy to me time is one of those very scary things the older you get I feel like each year passes going quicker and quicker does that fear ever stop or does it just get worse let me know anyone that's older than me let me know um in fact maybe don't maybe don't let me know so first off like I said Primark and the first thing to know is how much blue blue and white that they have in store loads of new bits from the new paulers Range I love these little bags and they had some bigger versions like here where you could actually fold it on like inside to make it a slightly different shape so loved that again more blue I'm loving these blouses they also had that one in like peachy nude color um lots of textures you might have seen this that I picked up and that top actually both in my latest primar ha that I uploaded if you saw that some lovely lbds as well this was another one that I featured in that primar CO as well as these boots which are a classic so I thought I would show you those these kind of striped Varsity like polos are very much in I just wasn't sure if it was too Trend Le and these were a bit like Ralph Lauren teddy bear love that little set for summer but the shorts were too short for me um I also pi picked up this cardigan in my primar call recently which you may have seen such lovely quality some amazing workout bits and different like kind of sports bras leggings matching tops and uh flares these were the built-in bra tops they have a few more colors of this year this beautiful like oatmeal color striped loved this and I actually really regretting not picking this up I quite liked the washed vintagey look for them and these little bow jeans how cute are they also loving like the cowboy Trend and Western Trend and they had a few prints like that you all know I love the Primark edits so I've course had to show you this section it's that section in Primark that's a bit better made like higher quality items I would say I also had a quick look in the PJ section I say quick look I actually spent quite a while browsing all the new in bits that they had and it's also right next to the home section which this just so much to choose from isn't there let's face it these gorgeous throws loads of new bits in for spring how pretty these plates it reminds me of Peter Rabbit which is like a childhood memory of mine this lovely Stone vase was really pretty and some florals that they had with the prints and those cushions and again with things like with this vase U which I also again featured in my last Primark haul if you saw it some more spring bits in the kind of kitchen Crockery section I loved this lemon color so so pretty and uh yeah I just feel like how many plates of one person need although I do regret not picking up the plate from this section this one I just think that is so so pretty and only £450 lots of like the kind of cabbage Trend as well and different like fruits and vegetables especially with like plates and even this oil loved this mango tray but couldn't see a price on it uh and then quickly flatting back to some more spring summer bits as well as going back to the more neutral home that they've got within the kitchen section that reminds me of Demi that mug um again dark wood as well that they've got a lot of within the homewor section and baskets like this um basket for your utensils or fruit bowl and then lastly the kind of swimwear section they had some beautiful sets this was in the swimwear section and I honestly thought this set would be beautiful to be worn yes on the beach but also just in summer in general not just on the beach um and then that crochet knit one was also very very pretty and then lastly this blue one which I also really liked well this sunlight is a bit difficult to Vlog in but I am done over at Primark and I am now pulled up outside the like near the premium parking which they've opened at um traffic center to pop into selfes and I want to have a quick look at the white company bits they've got their new spring scent maybe have a look at adanola I've seen like their knit jum they've not been in stock online the ones that I like um maybe see if they've got any of those in stock in selfes yeah we'll just head in and see what is new and then also I've just remembered when we go over to Costco afterwards that they have um their new cookies like instore cookies part as part of like their menu so I might treat myself to a lunch at Costco as well time to head into selfridges now and I just love the experience the inore experience of going around and looking all the lovely Brands like skim hza G Varley adanola they had some beautiful bits and guys I managed to find a knit in the like kind of mushroom chocolaty brown color so your backs did I pick it up did I leave it what do you think anyway moving over they've now got fourth and Reckless in here as well as tala which I had a good browse at both um and such lovely again visual merchandising in the these sections and they also had sisters and Seekers and the brand new Jelly cats right next to the white company which of course I had a good browse in it's one of my favorite sections within the selfes here I kind of wish they had a standalone store at the traffic center like they do in City Center because I suppose with a concession you're quite limited to how much stock you can have but anyway they had some beautiful spring bits nonetheless and of course their new Sun Verde which is lovely and then I just had a quick look in the kind of food haul section where they had some new bits out for Easter and then I headed over to H&M to have quick brows in their home wear as we don't have the H&M home in City Center so I took the opportunity to have a good look here see what they've got new in for spring and um yeah they had some cute little bunny decorations and new Crockery bits I loved this lemon set I was so tempted to get the entire range but I resisted I was good um they also had again sticking with like what they had in Primark with the fruit and vegetabl section really emerging popular Trend within kitchen wear let me know are you on board with it or is it too much for you I had a quick look at in the fashion I loved this dress that they had and this one as well both are kind of like floral Dy cute girly uh pieces for spring and summer loved both of them I also had a look at these trousers and love them went at home to check out online and they were out stock in my size so I'm kind of regretting not getting them anyway moving on to Flying Tiger so it is now finally open they had loads of bits at the first half of the store all themed with spring and summer they had some board games loads of amazing really nice stationer this was my my favorite section I would say within this Flying Tiger store compared to like lots of the bits that they've got I would say their stationary section was the bit that impressed me the most all these kind of like planners and it's a stationary lovers absolute dream but well we popping in when you're next at the Trafford Center how can I up you hi can I please get an iced decaf latte please an ice de car FL anything else that's it thank you drive thank you thanks s we've gone for today cuz the sun is shining had some photos to Rani he's at daycare today and look all the golden well retrievers are you right hello okay Starbucks yes than oh this Starbucks it's always so tight to get out of okay right let's head over to Costco now and oh import I could have but no I'm going to Sav myself I think for Costco although do I even want their Pizza I know I want to try their cookie I don't know if Pizza is a bit naughty for like a midweek lunch we'll see if I get tempted when I get in there what if the world had more of you your smile what if the wind could spread your love what if your sweetness could reach everyone there being Awards maybe the birds will sing about your heart maybe the trees will whisper the word maybe the sun will spread your joy to the to lost the it is fresh out there sunny but it's definitely chilly it says 7° but honestly it feels a lot colder than that probably because I've not got a coat on I've literally just got this Sheila which actually someone commented on in just saying where is it from the white company she's like recently yeah she right I'm headed there now I'll get back home and do a haul for you but I just thought I would have to taste test the cookie oh my God it's huge I didn't realize how big it was going to be no wonder it said £2 £249 I think which for Costco I mean I know that sounds cheap and for the size of it it is um but like their pizzas you know are less than 2 quid for a massive slice of pizza so they are super cheap when it comes to their food but hot and it is fresh but this is the size of the cookie can you see it it's actually much bigger than I thought oh my God it's really like gooey I can tell already it's almost like you know with a cookie that's like part baked loads of chocolate chips in it as well it's going to be good I'm going to save half that for Tom he's the cookie lover of the two of us that's delicious May he's got to have it fresh though I need to bring him back to have it my camera's slipping now he needs to have it whilst it's fresh oh that's really good it's now getting on in the afternoon so I'm going to head back home this is actually Costco sparkling water I didn't get any of this this time cuz I didn't need any but I usually have my um my Stanley water with me but I was in a bit of a rush and the filter I've only just changed it on the coffee machine so you have to like run through a few liters of water before you or two lers I think it is before you can start using it wow really boring conversation getting that fire door fitted was the best thing for keeping this space so much warmer and I don't think I ever before having that door walked into this space and went oh it's nice and cozy in here but since getting that door it definitely keeps all the hea in which is lovely we'll just give you a quick uh Costco haul before I put the bits away but I never really crave lint so I can easily have these in our chocolate bowl and not touch them but I especially thought the fact that they're doing the pistachio ones so hard to find the pistachio ones I have seen that home bargain have them but anyway they have this pistachio two pack of pistachio and also the milk and white which is also a really nice one kind of like Kinder it also went for a Greek salad massive salad that'll last us a few days I got it to go with this which is going to be my dinner tonight so their rotisserie chickens are the best rotisserie chickens they're also really affordable I can't remember how much like literally a few pounds got some of these for Barney uh these big pack of pigies and also sprats which is just fun little addition to pop on his um food we'll just give him as treats like high reward treats speaking of fish this tuna is the best tuna I don't think I'll ever go back to the John West ones now I just they're just not as good these ones in the olive oil that they do and keep it in the olive oil so whatever dish you're having like last night I had sweet potato as a bit of a jacket potato so I had it with tuna and cheese and I just didn't need any butter because I just basically used the oil from this um and they're also really perfectly portioned size of sweaty wear got a couple packs of those I get through those pretty quickly got some more bin bags some pomegranate these were on offer for a couple of pounds this massive so I'm going to eat some of those this afternoon as a bit of a snack they sell the Domino sauce now the kind of garlic and her pizza sauce I think it was literally 22 something or3 something um it's massive so Pizza Nights In the Garden in Spring and Summer this will be coming out a couple packs of these variety packs for Tom of these gels that he's been using for his long distance running my long distance running it is only ever I think the longest I've ever run is 10K so I don't tend to use these um who knows if I start pushing myself and trying to run a bit further and distance then maybe I will but I think Tom says like every hour roughly or every 10K he could he'll have one of these so he only ever takes one out with him one maybe two um but yeah so I got those for him got some more fabric conditioner downstairs and then in terms of the traff center shops I went into Flying Tiger well you saw where I went but I picked up some bits from flying tiger and selfridges so from selfridges I did get I managed to find there was one left of the Adan jumper you saw me in the changing room and I was I thought let me take it in and actually try it on cuz these are a bit of an investment they're £65 but I loved the color of this one and I actually had a quick look online whilst I was in store just to see if there any colors that I prefer that are in stock online and this is my favorite color and it was in a medium so I took that as fat that with it being the last one and they are sold out online at least the time of filming this if they've come back in stock I'll leave it linked but yeah I took that as it was meant to be and flying tiger was small so it was open which I was glad to see but it was compared to stores that I've been in the past it was a lot smaller it was actually tiny if I'm being honest and also it was far more kidy than I thought although I suppose that was like the first half then it got to a bit more home wear and stuff but yeah I didn't I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon but I did pick up a few things that I like the look of firstly this for a shoot that I need to do with Barney for like Easter spring themed shoot for a brand we'll see if we can get these on his head I'm not convinced but they were a couple of pounds and they used to section and then I also saw this um in the stationary section I think I vlogged it actually a phot it's a photo album but I suppose you could do it as a bit of a scrapbook and I just loved the you guys know I'm a sucker for any kind of a journal scrapbook notebook especially when it's in like a nice linen cover just plain and simple so that you can have it out on like a book shelf or on your bedside cabinet your bedside T table bedside drawers whatever the called and this one just says memories moments and Magic on the front and it's got a little section with some stickers if you did want to use those like some markers oh I can't get them back in now otherwise it's just a plain and simple brown paper scrapbook so they use the stickers on that image to um pop on the corners of your photos the photo album was £5 and then at2 I also got this because Tom's got in his in the pantry next to his coffee machine he note takes he's like obsessed with making coffee at the minute and he note takes I don't actually know what it is that he's note taking when it comes to trying out different coffees and it's just full of numbers so any coffee lovers out there that are into coffees I don't know what he's writing but he's doing in a bright blue notebook that is left out on the side and it's just it kills me it kills me every time I see that notebook I'm like putting it away the cupb and I just think let's just get a nice little notebook that looks with the aesthetic to have sat out on the work surface so I got this it just says it actually says notes for the future me which obviously not that relevant but it's just cream and gold lined paper that he can just use and also I quite like these kind of notepads with the Rings so that you can like for shopping lists and things and then I also got some exercise equipment they had these dumbbells in in and have you seen a nicer set of dumbbells these were £5 it made my bag very heavy to carry but yeah they're just simple beige stone 2 kilos each I've never really due weights if I'm honest so I'm just I want to up the exercise regime within my life I love my dog walks break it into a slow jog every once in a while which I also really enjoy I want to try a bit more Pilates again just as I'm when I feel like it but for at home I feel like it's so easy to just have some weights like this and also some like resistance bands which I've also got and just do little at home workouts even if it's 15 minutes just something couple of squats couple of lunges couple of arm exercises just something moving my body um so anyway they had this exercise band which was these were both yeah 250 but this one is just a simple like resistance band and then also this one which was a elastic training band they did have some more colorful ones but you guys know me and that is everything that I got from the Trafford Center so I need to go and pick Barney up from daycare I might just pop the food bits away in the fridge go and grab him um and I don't know the plans for the rest this evening I don't think Tom's back too late from work tonight so he could probably have that chicken salad with me um and otherwise we just chill I did watch a good movie last night with Tom called what was it called and when I say good I mean I probably won't watch it again I've seen it now but it was worth the watch and it was a bit racy it was a bit runchy and also a bit of action in there as well so I I kind of put it on for me to watch and then Tom came home and kind of watched it with me I'd only watched like 10 minutes of it so he soon got into this story line I didn't think he'd like it but he did watch it so what was it it's on Amazon Prime my fault London although I think there's another one which is maybe a for movie because as soon as we watched that it recommended my fault not my fault London and it was um oh we also watched her which is a bit of a Sci-Fi it's got wacking Phoenix in it and a Scarlet well SC Hansson doesn't actually play a role she's just a voice of like this AI Tech it's kind of futuristic and he ends up having a bit of a relationship with her so again that's that was a little bit racy as well we also watched black HW down that was Tom's movie although I did quite like it cuz we watched a the Netflix surviving black H down so I because I watched that I was like actually I will watch black cord and movie now my fault London was about it's kind of like a young love story which at first I thought it was going to be a bit more like a bit creepy because the plot is essentially mother and daughter who live in America mother is British daughter has kind of lived and brought up in America in Florida they originally came over to Florida because her mom had met someone that since didn't happen and then she went back to London after falling in love with like this um new guy so the daughter has to like up and leave her home and move to London and she moves in with the new stepdad and stepson who ends up being he's like a bit of a bad boy made some money and um yeah it's a bit of like a racy Love Story between the two of them which yeah so at first I thought oh sounds a bit creepy like step siblings but then I don't know is that creepy or is it not like I still don't think I could gra grasp it but it would be like I said to Tom that would be like our like his mom and my dad being together which obviously my dad's happily married to my mom so that would never happen but it I don't know I don't know but anyway it was quite a good watch so I would recommend that but anyway let's pop the bits in the fridge let's go grab Mr Barney from daycare oh I have my lemon and ginger tonic today yet it almost gets stronger as the days go on so if you make a batch of this um which is the Lum melon recipe it's basically just lemon ginger and water um if you make a batch of it for to last you say a week I always find by the end of the week it seems to taste stronger than when you started here he is the star of the channel Mr Barney Bo where are you going or you just want a back scratch do you is that what you want you want a back scratch I am back home from picking B app I also just popped to do a tip Brun I had loads of cardboard to take cardboard I swear just fills up and off and it just a bin just isn't enough for our cardboard so anyway I've done that that was one thing that I wanted to get on my to-do list tick off well we're quite blue let me just change the settings like that's better um and I also forgot to show you but I also popped to um the white company and selfes and I've got a couple of new bits they had a brand new jelly capat like in store but it was like its own store within selfes it was obviously a concession but it was so busy there was like security there I don't know if it just opened or not but it was so busy there but anyway it was right next to the white company if you did want to pop into see it so first things first this is something that Tom has in another color I think it's women's I only think they do men's pajamas but it is part of the lounge so it's kind of like within the Sleep set section and this is slightly different I think the pockets are slightly different but otherwise it's basically the same and they had his in the sale and I saw this cream one which I thought was a bit more me so I'll leave both this one and Tom's links below because they're honestly amazing and the fact that they're both in the sale now as well hopefully they've still got them online but yeah this is the perfect kind of like B cozy fleecy jumper to wear um for around the house with leggings but then also just like on a nice dog walk as well and it just is so soft and cozy so inside it has this like liner which is very very soft super soft now I got a large there was two sizes left in the sale a small and a large I thought of the two yeah I'll go for a large so glad I did because these I would say come up small there's not much like stretch or give to them so anyway I got that and then I also got some new bits for the Verde I've got the oil so I mean you know what the boxes look like it's just like a box standard um white company box Verde is the new scent with notes of Bergamot shiso leaf and Amber if you're unsure on a scent by the way say if you're ordering online go with getting an oil first cuz these are £10 and they last quite a while and it's a good tester for being able to try out the scent so you can burn these in a couple of always you can add these to poet you could add this to a electric diffuser which is I personally how I like to use it you can put it in like a oil burner like with a little tealight I don't tend to use those as much anymore but this smells you can definitely get the burger M the leaf it's just makes it scent quite um I mean it's called verd it smells quite green it smells like spring honestly she just popped one of these in the bag for me the furniture and home accessories directory yeah this is more like Furniture Pieces good for a bit of inspo though to have a look at the imagery this range that they do of these kind of seagrass trays and baskets let me just show you this image here so can you see that tray there I think that one if I remember rightly that one's only £15 which obviously very mind from the white company I think is really good and you can just have it set out like styled like this you could have it as a bit of a bread tray but yeah I love the white company it's just I don't know I just find so much inspiration from the white company so I think I might go ahead and finish the Vlog here I hope you've enjoyed spending the day with me guys I've been out for about 5 hours shopping I have 5 or six hours even had a good troll through all the shops and I had a pretty successful day actually very happy with myself and I've still got some of that cookie which I'll save some for Tom but I might just have a little extra nibble of that with a coffee this afternoon whilst editing this video but otherwise I hope you're all doing well hope you've enjoyed this video thumbs up if you have subscribe
