for this
cleanser. Chef's kiss. It smells so
good. Elmus Black Cherry Cleansing Balm.
You know, I love the Pro Collagen
Cleanser. Black Cherry. Unreal. Unreal.
If you see any clothes in the
background, ignore them. There's
clothing everywhere that I need to put
away. Anyway, hi. Oh, wow. Good morning.
It's been such a long time since I last
vlogged. Allow me to explain. Last
weekend's vlog was meant to be my baby
moon vlog. I was so excited. I started
vlogging on Baby Moon. I have some I
have some footage from it. I really
wanted to vlog, not only for you guys,
but also because I just think it's so
cool to have footage of your life for
your child to watch back. My mom
actually used to just like have her
video camera around when her and my dad
were doing stuff before I was born. And
I just love like being able to watch
like the family holidays with all my
like aunts and uncles. I just think
that's so cool. I really wanted to do
that for baby girl to have to watch
back. She won't care for like 30 years,
but that's not the point. But we arrived
in Marba and night one lovely. Went out
for dinner. Was feeling a little bit
tired, but nothing nothing unusual. Like
well I say that my pregnancy insomnia
has been absolutely vile but that's kind
of just you know life at the moment. But
the next day I woke up and I was like,
"No, this is like a new new level of
tired. Something I feel I feel wrong and
and I can't explain it." And I just
basically slept for most of the day,
which we also had stuff to shoot, so
that was very it was very stressful.
Then day two came down with the most
raging cold, my second of the year. As a
non-pregant woman, I I rarely get colds.
It's like maybe one a year. So I can't
lie, it's a real treat being pregnant.
like the immune system shutting down is
actually awful. And for those of you
that don't know, you can't take
anything. No, like you can take
paracetamol, but for a cold, I've never
found paracetamol to be particularly
helpful in any way. Normally, at the
first sign of like a sore throat, I
would be taking echanatia drops. And
you're not allowed to take it when you
are pregnant, which is literally the
worst. So, the colds are vile. They feel
vile, and then they last anything. They
used to be about 4 days for me, but now
they last like a minimum of 10 days. And
it's just disgusting. Like it's not just
like a regular cold. They just feel
worse. When I said I had a cold on
Instagram, by the way, curses on all of
you who decided to send me this message.
But like everyone was like, "Wait until
they bring home school colds." Do you
know what? I can take medication. I can
take medication. I can take my echania
drops. I don't I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to also be told that my
life is about to get worse. So, let
let's just not in the comments here
because I have no patience for it. Your
girl is not sleeping and she's sick.
Just like give her give her a minute.
So, we had a good 10 days of that. That
kind of was a bit of a downer on the
baby moon. I just felt rank and we
didn't really do much. So, I didn't have
much to vlog at all. I just tried to
take as many pics as possible and to
look a little bit alive every so often.
We do have one more trip in the UK
coming up before she's born. So maybe
she can enjoy the vlog of that one day.
And then at the start of this week, I
was kind of obviously on the tail end of
the cold, feeling a bit better. And then
I ate something. I don't know what it
was, but something did not sit right
with me and I basically had a couple of
days of like a small ow burning myself.
A small bout of food poisoning. It was
gentle food poisoning. I've definitely
had worse. But last night, for the first
time, I would say it may be nearing a
month now. I woke up once. I could
actually cry telling you that I woke up
this morning. I was so happy. I feel
like a different human being. I woke up
once to pee and I'm I think I'm mainly
woken up by my heartburn as well. I
didn't realize. Oh, this pissed me off
so much. Apparently, Reny's can stop
you. Reny's if you're from a different
country, they're like heartburn little
tablets that are safe to take when you
are pregnant cuz some some things aren't
allegedly. But apparently they block
your pregnancy vitamins if you take them
too close together. So I have to like
really stagger everything. So woke up
once to pee and at the same time take my
midnight Renie and then just woke up
this morning and felt like a different
human being which is just amazing
because I really wanted to vlog today.
So I'm just like I feel like the stars
are aligning for us and I feel great.
I'm doing my hair a bit differently this
morning. This is actually this was the
the whole point of what I was meant to
be talking about what I wanted to talk
to you about and got on my high horse
about my cold, which no one cares about.
I did my hair differently the last time
I washed it and I liked it so much that
we're trying it again today. So, what we
are doing is a good old 2016 2017 hair
curl of like forward, backwards,
forward, backwards, but not leaving the
end out like we used to do for like a
beachy wave. If anyone remembers, it was
it was a time to be alive. Alternating
my curls. But then we're going to put it
in rollers, which is always one of my
favorite things to do if I have the time
to do it, and I do today. Thank
goodness. And it was hair wash day last
night. So hopefully I'm going to do this
and then not have to do my hair for the
rest of the week. And life will be so
good. And then we need to go and tackle
an emergency. Like a true We have a true
fashion emergency. people. Another thing
that I am very upset about. So, I bought
this stunning, stunning dress for my
cousin's wedding, which is this month.
I'm so excited for her. We got engaged
literally within a month of each other.
So, we've kind of just like been on the
journey together, and it's just been
really cute. I just I love her so much.
We're like only a year apart in age, so
she's always kind of been one of my
favorite I have two favorite cousins.
She's one of them. She's getting married
this month in a couple of weeks. and the
gorgeous gorgeous dress that I bought
for her wedding. It fitted literally up
until about a week ago. Swords lore. And
I I really thought I timed it well. I
really did. But no, I've now expanded a
little too far and I'm really sad about
it. It's so annoying cuz it's actually a
really floaty dress. It's not actually
the body of the dress that's the
problem. It's actually the bit that goes
around my boobs. It just doesn't I can
get it to do I can get the little clasp
to do up, but the rest of the zip, no.
And so you just know that even if I
squidged myself into it now, in two
weeks time, there's absolutely no fresh
way in hell it's going to fit. So I've
ordered some more dresses and we're
going to hope and pray that I can find
something because otherwise I actually
don't know what I'm going to do. I'm
really hoping this hair turns out cute.
I also really want to try this look. But
with my natural hair at the root, I
think it could be really cute.
Especially now my hair my hair's
actually started to get curlier, which
is quite fun. It kind of over the last
couple of years the curls really dipped,
but they're really starting to come back
now. I'll show you at some point this
summer, I'm sure. Try to do my hair, but
I have a foot in my hip. That sounds
insane. Okay, rollers are going in. And
I pull all the hair over the roller, not
under. I was doing this in my wedding
era last year, and I loved it so much.
It was the best my hair has ever looked.
Unfortunately, it does involve looking a
little bit crazy for a while. Also, I
finally Oh, this is going to be weird. I
finally got the hang of this. I tried
this without having makeup already on my
skin, and it definitely worked a lot
better. I also think that overlining
like severely actually gives more of the
effect that I was looking for. And then
I've also just started using a makeup
wipe to remove it rather than doing the
peely thing that people do on TikTok.
Very unnecessary. And I literally
slather it on like that. And then what I
also like to do, so I use the shade
Hush, which is much much darker. It's
giving like iconic nude by Charlotte
Tilbury, that kind of vibe. But then I
take XOXO, which is a much lighter like
pink, and I just put that in the center.
And I found that just looks really like
nice throughout the day. And then I
don't really feel the need to put
anything over the top. I just put a
little bit of lip balm on cuz I do find
it is a little bit drying. Whereas if I
just do this on the outside, you can
kind of see where I've put the stain and
I don't love that. But I also don't love
putting this all over cuz I think it's a
bit too dark for my preferences and
doesn't give the lips like the
definition that I would want. So yeah, I
leave that on until it dries. Sometimes
I then do a little bit more of an
outline. That is what I do now before I
do literally anything even SPF. So it's
like contacts go in, lip stain goes on,
everything is kind of still the same as
usual. I'm also loving this. This is the
Beauty Pie Super Luminous Under Genius
Corrector. It's so good that I've added
in on top of my in addition to all of my
concealing. I apply over the top of my
Bobbi Brown and blend them together.
I'll do a full makeup routine cuz I feel
like in my Q&A a lot of you said you
wanted to see that makeup and that is
basically what I do all the time at the
moment. But brown mascara, pink blush,
like really glowy pink blush, and then
not really a lot else going on like
apart from a ton of bronzer. But like
that is that's basically my routine at
the moment. But yeah, loving this. This
is also, can I just say, not only in
terms of like being on holiday and not
having my lip liner constantly wearing
off and stuff like that, but also in
terms of having a cold and having been
blowing my nose. I can't tell you how
many times a day. That was amazing. Like
my lips my lip product stayed all day.
It's just kind of nice to not have to
worry about lip product. I was just
making sure that like my concealer was
around my nose. I could basically just
rebronze and conceal my nose. That was
it. I didn't have to worry about lip
liner, which was so nice. So, it's very
practical. I'm here for the lip stain
life. It looks very orangey straight
after. I find that kind of dyes dyes
down. You'll see because I'm not going
to put anything on my lips. So, you'll
kind of see what it looks like when it's
dyed down. But, I think I might leave it
like that today and not do two coats.
I'm going to do like a nice just like
natural makeup today. Okay, makeup is
done. Looking very fresh. This is the
lip look without any summer Fridays.
This is the vanilla one. It's so nice.
That is literally my lip combo at the
moment. And once the lip butter wears
off, I just leave it and it's cute. Last
step, of
course. It's just so refreshing as well
to just drown your face in that. So
glowy. Okay, let's get this hair out and
get trying on some dresses. Guys, this
is the exact situation I did not want to
be in. This is why I started shopping
for dresses this wedding in January, cuz
I was like, I don't want to I don't want
a last minute rush. Oh, how cute. I'm
definitely going to try this with my
hair like more natural as well. I think
this could be so nice. Like all the
mismatched curls, but then a really like
voluminous curly root. When I don't
blowd dry my hair, it has a lot of
volume and texture at the root. I think
this could look really fun. It does look
a bit perfect at first, but once it like
drops and settles, it's just so nice. I
think especially if you've got like lots
of layers in your hair. I love it. I'm
obsessed. I'm obsessed. I wish I could
do this every day. Oh, hello,
Winston. What are you doing in here?
What are you doing?
Oh, morning babe. What are you doing? No
cameras, please. Your hair's nice and
voluminous as
well. Quick outfit of the day before I
change. I ordered the Skiims long tanks.
I didn't realize they did long ones.
I've only ever had like the regular
length. I ordered them in a large. So,
we've got a good amount of stretch, a
good amount of length. These are my
favorite tanks in the whole world. I've
missed them so much cuz mine just got to
the point where they were they're
basically just bras. They just look a
bit silly. So very happy to have a black
one and I've got a white one and then
I've got just a pair of black loose
trousers on. Look at that bump. It
doesn't look as bad on camera as it
sometimes feels in real life, but
honestly I don't know how she's staying
in there for like another 10 plus weeks.
What week am I on now? Oh my god, what
day is Wednesday? It's a Wednesday. I'm
31 weeks today. 31 weeks today. There's
no way there's another like 10 weeks. I
said that I look smaller this morning
than I have like the last couple of
weeks. I've I don't know. Maybe I've
been eating healthier since I came home,
but I feel like the bumps shrunk a bit,
but last week I felt crazy crazy. But
yeah, definitely starting to feel very
very heavy. Like I can no longer run up
the stairs. We've hit that point. We're
doing good. Oh my god. 31 weeks. That is
wild. Right, let's tackle the emergency
situation. I ordered from Club L. I
can't I think I might have seen someone
link to a dress and I was like, "Oh,
that could be bump friendly and had a
look and then I saw so much." I was
like, "Actually, that's that could be
really good." Had my cousin had a look.
She gave a few a thumbs up. So, we're
going to see. The colors don't look the
same as I thought they did on the
website, though, so this is going to be
interesting. But this looks a lot more
pink. It looks a lot more nude on the
website. Apparently, I'm not at a point
in my life where I can be too choosy.
Also, don't know what I'm going to do
about the length of these cuz I do not
have a lot of time. Number one, kind of
Taylor Maro vibes, but at 10% of the
cost. Might not need the most taking up
if I wear a heel. A high heel. Yeah,
this could this could work. This was the
one I had the most hope for. So, similar
vibes to what I was going to wear to my
cousin's wedding. Oh, this is going to
be so nice. Like I can already see in
the color correction of this camera how
tanned this is going to make me look and
it's going to make me so happy. It's got
a stretchy stretchy back. So we could be
we could be in luck here. Just all
hinges on the waist. Yeah. Let's have a
look. I was so hellbent on that that I
got it in two sizes. And then the final
dress I just feel like is a bit girier
than I would normally go for. So if I
was going to wear this, we'd have to be
do like rocking a slick back going
really like very minimal everything
else. I'm not sure. It's a bit too girly
for I know I love girly but it may be
too girly for me but it's maternity so
if everything else fails this may be the
saving grace I do like pink on me though
so this could be that could be cute but
let's try them on dress one I may be
able to take this up myself so this
could be a good option we don't have to
take it up by much if I wear my highest
heels either I don't want to hear it
about the wearing heels when I'm
pregnant please let's not balance is
very good we're fine this is nice I
really like the sleeve it's not the best
fit ing. Obviously, it's loose here.
It's going to be very tight here in like
2 weeks time, but it's fine because
actually I can disguise a lot of the not
great fitting situations by just
covering myself with my crazy very
Grinchesque sleeve. You know, it could
be worse. I think she's cute and it's
not about me, so it doesn't really
matter if like the fit's not quite quite
there. I wouldn't even want to have it
altered to be honest at this point like
to fit certain parts of me because you
just don't know when you're just going
to balloon in certain areas. So, we have
a little bit more space, which is good.
We've got one shoulder out, so she's
breathable in case it's very hot, which
is nice. So, yeah, this could be a good
option. And even if I can't have her
professionally taken up, there's only
the tiniest amount to Wonder Web. So,
fingers crossed. Dress number two is
literally skimming the floor. So, this
could be a good option to be honest.
gone for the size 10, which I'm shocked
by. I got it in a 10 and a 12. I was not
expecting the 10 to be any good at all.
But not only does it fit a lot better
around the back, and we've still got
room, it also is shorter, which is
stunning. This may be the contender. I
think I can also make it a little bit
shorter as well if I like hoist it up a
bit
more.
Oh, okay. I think this is the one. We're
literally like touching the ground now.
Great. Just need to make sure I hoist
the boobs. And actually, if the bump
grows in the next two weeks, we should
get a little bit more lift off the floor
as well, which will be amazing. Great. I
feel like I can relax now. This is
definitely my favorite of the two. I'm
going to try the pink rosy one on, but I
don't I just don't feel like that's the
vibe for her wedding. So, I think this
is going to be the preferred. I think
this would like just a really nice off
the face, slick back or maybe even just
some little pieces around the front, but
definitely like hair up. And it's very
breathable. Little bit static. It is
clinging to me. One of my weird
pregnancy symptoms is I am the most
static alive. And I don't understand
why, but everything like things that
never cling to me before now like just
cling to my body. It's so strange. So,
this is doing that a little bit, but I'm
just going to give it a little mist with
some fabric spray before we go and hope
that that sorts it out cuz moisture
sometimes does sort it out. Damn, this
is cute. It is the best in terms of the
length. Like, no taking up needed. I
just don't know if it's a little bit too
Is it a bit too look at me? I don't
know. But it does
fit really well. Oh, I don't know. I'd
actually be able to wear a lower heel
with this as well, just ever so slightly
lower, which could be quite nice. But I
might send her a photo and be like,
"What do we think? What do we prefer?" I
was originally thinking this could be
cute for like a baby shower situation
for myself, but I've actually decided to
make my baby shower like more smart
casual so that people can just come
along and chill
and sweet girl. Yeah, I wanted to make
my baby shower more like cute, smart,
casual, chill than like super super
dressy. Stunning news, my cousin has
just approved the third pink dress. So,
dress three, the second pink dress. Yay,
I have a dress. Just making a little
lunch. This is my current
hyperfixation lunch. We start off with
these little thin things. I'm trying not
to overdo it with like things that cause
me heartburn. And I find that these
because they're like maybe it's cuz
they're whole meal. Maybe it's cuz
they're thinner. I don't know. They
don't give me heartburn, which is so
nice. I also find flatbreads amazing for
not giving me heartburn if I eat a slice
of actual bread. Hell on earth. Actual
hell on earth. So, I add some avocado to
the top. There's not as much avocado
today cuz today's avocado had a lot of
brown spots and it was upsetting me. I
then add, you'll have seen this stuff. I
love adding it to watermelon as well. We
have this on watermelon with honey at
our local like Mexican place and it's
just the best. So, I now put it on
everything. It's very like limey, salty,
delicious. Again, not too much cuz
heartburn, but at the same time, I want
flavor. Like, pregnancy is boring. Like,
please just let me have some flavor. And
then I have tuna mayo which I add to the
top. I don't have this every day. So
that's kind of why it's been a very it's
actually been a very long-term
hyperfixation meal by my standards
because I actually can't have this more
than a couple of times a week allegedly.
Again, pregnancy eating very boring.
This is why I'm not vegan by the way in
pregnancy because there's it's so it's
boring. It's hard to get everything that
you need. If I have too much carbs, I
get severe heartburn. So, like, as a
vegan, what the freak are you eating? It
just wasn't It was not working out for
me. On certain days, I like to do more
of a like protein meal. Yeah, this is my
current favorite hyperfixation meal.
Sometimes I do a salad with it as well.
Throw some like salad leaves in there.
Cucumber, tomatoes today. Can't be
bothered.
Mr. Hurley is cooking dinner tonight.
And look at
this. She looks so
good. Good morning. We are on our way to
a 4D scan this morning. I'm very excited
for this. Like this. We've had like a
snippet of what the 4D scan could be
like in previous private scans that
we've had done. Like one time I think
they printed off like a 4D image. Was it
4D? Yeah, a 4D image for us. But it was
at a stage where baby girl looked like
an an alien. Like she looked terrifying.
So I'm really excited to see her little
face today. I'm having it quite late in
the period that they recommend you have
your 4D scan. So I'm hoping that she's
going to be like cute and smumptious.
But I'm also just really intrigued
because they apparently allegedly can
tell us like how long she's measuring
and like weight and things like that. So
I'm really intrigued by that as well cuz
I just feel like this child is big. But
obviously I have nothing to compare it
to to. So I'm at the stage where I'm
like surely there's no way that you can
be in here for another 10. Like I just
don't I I don't understand. But yeah,
I'm excited to see what she looks like.
Do you think she's going to look like
you or me?
Um, is she not still just going to look
like an alien?
Maybe. So, me basically. I don't know. I
don't know. I don't know how developed
like We'll find out she's going to look
or like how how much the 4D scan will
actually show. Yeah, cuz they are quite
I don't know. I've not seen anyone's 4D
scan photos. Yeah, true. Nay said she'd
show me hers and she forgot to send them
to me. So, I have no references. So,
this is going to be really fun. But
yeah, just excited to see her again cuz
I haven't seen her since our 22 week
scan. If you know, you know. If you
watch the second trimester vlog, you
know. Oh, you think I'm skinny? So,
yeah, I haven't seen her since then. I
think this will be quite a dramatic jump
potentially. Wow. Oh my god, Ryan. She
looks like you. Ran's like, she looks
like an alien. What are you saying?
Wow. We'd like Yeah, we've tucked right
into the corner leg cuz Can you see on
the This is the edge of your wound. Oh,
open that one. And if we've got over
average length legs, thanks to you, I'm
sure.
Yeah, it's definitely not thanks to me.
Babes, get your foot out your eye. I
think gone to sleep like this. Should
have brought a cold fizzy drink. Toes
just creeping into the image.
I'm back. That scan was so funny. I'll
show you some pictures in a bit. I'm
actually in Zara baby. It's so freaking
cute in here. Look. How sweet is that? I
actually haven't been in Zara baby the
entire time I've been pregnant. This is
my first time. Oh my god, that is so
cute. Stop. No. That's adorable. Oh my
god, it's so small. Why do you think so
cute? No. Oh my god, she needs it. Oh my
god. Screaming. Oh my god, that is the
best thing I've ever seen. Oh my god.
Oh, all of this is so
cute. Let's have a look at these then.
Baby girl, if you're watching this,
thank you for having all of your limbs,
every single one of them, over your
face. Oh, wow. There's so many.
I will also insert a baby photo of Ryan
because she is his doppelganger. He
didn't have doubts, but if there was,
she is your baby. Oh, do we have the
data? I love these.
The average for the legs has gone up.
Oh, is it? She's got legs. She's a mom.
Oh, here it says 31 weeks, 5 days. Is
that how she's measuring? Yeah, I think
so. Cuz you can see
telling people she's going to be early.
She's cooking away. You better get
ready.
Having a little waka lunch. Cupcase. Oh
my god.
is have a strawberry and mint cooler.
She's
thriving. Delicious. And I also have
these are cactus and corette tacos.
Del's got I just They just sounded
really good. Ran's got a whole feast.
This looks insane. What have you got?
Chips. Got chips. What is that? It's a
hummus.
Ooh. Remember what hummus is? Be tarta.
Ooh. Yum. Plantain taco and then the
corette ts. Oh, nice. This looks so
good. Yum. We must squeeze the lime
going everywhere but the taco. That's
good.
That's nice.
That's really nice.
We are home. The paint is in. If you
hear any background noise, there is
sanding taking place. I thought I would
show you what I have like a bag full of
things. I did a haul. We have minimal
shopping bags cuz I was just like,
"Yeah, no, I don't need a bag. I'll just
throw everything in my in my milk tote."
We love it. Got some bits from Boots. We
have pregnancy vitamins. Feel like I've
showed you these, but these are the ones
I take. Prime Master 3 Omega3. I got a
new SPF. I'm currently using the
non-tinted version, and I just love the
tinted version. I've missed it very,
very much. So, decided to pick that up
whilst I was there. Then I also picked
up this mascara because I haven't used
this mascara in the longest time and I
really wanted to try it out again. It's
the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara and I
just remember this mascara being so
good. I used to have the waterproof
which I feel like is no longer a thing
but the waterproof version of this
slapped so good. If you curled your
eyelashes and then used it, it would
like you could never get it off. It was
not good in that sense. Like it was so
hard to get off. But if you wanted like
lashes that stayed curled, it was
phenomenal. I also picked up some Zara
baby bits. I had to be really restrained
because I just wanted to buy all of the
summer stuff, but I'm so aware that I'm
giving birth in the summer. So, the
reality of me actually dressing her in
something that's not like a baby grow at
first is just going to be so slim. So, I
was selective with what I picked, but I
thought baby grow, but just adorable and
short sleeved for like warmer days. It's
just got little like crabs and fishes on
it and it's just so cute. But like you
could use this whether you're having a
boy or a girl. Like it's just adorable.
And that helped me justify it cuz if I
ever have another baby, doesn't matter.
I can reuse and we love that. I also
picked up this
cutie little cardigan. So cute. So yeah,
this will be nice for when we like kind
of go into autumn and I actually am
starting to think about outfits. It's a
very nice goes with everything little
vibe. They're just so cute. Couldn't
resist. Like I'm very I'm trying to be
very practical with how I dress baby and
not like until she's like a bit older,
not dress her in like too many outfits,
you know, make my life easier. Let's not
complicate it too much. Let's not spend
too much money. But at the same time,
sometimes it's so hard cuz you're like,
"These things are so freaking cute." I
also have a book haul. This really is
the haul for beauty lovers, baby lovers,
and books. I'm getting through Powerless
at the moment, so I decided to pick up
Powerful. I just prefer a book. Like I'm
really struggling with my Kindle. The
days that I pick up the actual physical
book, I get through so much more than
with my Kindle. My Kindle is just really
good for like ease and traveling, but
not actually for me getting through a
book in the same way. I also got
Reckless, which I'm very excited to
read. I believe this is like a little
what do they call it? There's a word. Oh
my god. Nolla. This one. It's like a
little spin-off. Cute. We love. And then
I got the new book, which is very
exciting. It's all pink. They really
went hard on the book exterior for this
one. Look at
this. I love a hardback for this reason.
I love it when book publishers do a good
hardback cover. Like I really liked Oh
my god, what did I just read? Sunrise on
the reaping. My baby brain is freaking
wild. By the way, baby brain is
hilarious because in some ways it's
absolutely terrible. All you think about
for a lot of the time is baby. Can I
structure a sentence? No. Is my anxiety
actually at a minimum because I actually
can't think about too many things at
once because my baby brain literally
will not allow
it. Your girl has never been so non-
anxious. Would I love to be able to form
a sentence? Yes. I really miss being
able to speak coherently, but am I
enjoying the lack of anxiety? Like the
other day I got some post through that
would normally really stress me out. It
didn't stress me out. I dealt with it
and then I went on with my day which is
very normal for some people
but not for me normally. Anyway, why did
I even have that as a point? I don't
know. But yeah, Sunrise and the Reaping.
Loved the hardback cover for that. And
this is just even better. So pink and
the map inside is pink. Beautiful.
Stunning. Stunning. Stunning. So yeah,
that is my book haul of the day. I just
love I love buying books. My god. I said
to Ryan when we were in Water St. I was
like I really hope baby girl loves books
as much as I love books. I loved books.
I've been a book obsessive since I was
very, very small. So, I really hope
she's like me. She's got her dad's face.
Hopefully, she has her mom's love of
books. I've got to have imparted
something. Right. Right. I actually
can't believe how much she looks like
Ryan. I'm actually now going to go out
in search of ice because there is not
enough ice in all the world that could
satiate me right now. I'm not an ice
cruncher. Don't panic as I'm not
deficient in anything. I'm absolutely
fine. I'm just really thirsty at the
moment and it's quite warm. So, I'm just
very much loving cold drinks.
You're just
cute. I love you. Good morning. It is
the weekend. I'm so happy it's the
weekend. This feels like the only time
in my life where I actually have time to
vlog at the moment. I have a few things
that like work rellated things that are
just taking over my life during the
week. And I love vlogging. Like vlogging
is always like my priority. And it
annoys me when I don't have time to
vlog. So, I'm very happy that it's
Saturday and I can actually sit down and
vlog with you. I am in the middle of
unboxing an ASOS unboxing. Unwrapping my
ASOS order. It is glorious sunshine
today. It's so warm. I walked in this
little uniard thing, which by the way,
these uniards, I will link them. Saving
my life. They're so stretchy. I have a
long full body one with like a flared
yoga pant kind of bottom. And then I
have this in black and obviously the
cream. And they're just saving my life
on a day where I don't really need to
like properly get dressed. Like this is
not maternity. If I showed you this just
normally, you'd be like, there's no way
that's going to fit you. They're so
stretchy. They're so good. Anyway, it's
glorious sunshine today. And now I feel
like I manifested it by ordering this. I
ordered a lot of summery things kind of
like in anticipation of my baby shower,
but that's not really for another month.
So, you know me, I have to buy things so
last minute at the moment cuz I'm ever
expanding. decided that I needed some
more floaty summer dresses. I don't
really have any that just go here and
then they're just completely loose. And
I'm at that stage where I'm like, that
is what I want to be living in. Yeah, I
ordered a few
different dresses to try. This is like a
oak colored linen one.
Oh yeah. Oh, it's got pockets. That's so
nice. Um hopefully the length is going
to be good on these and there's going to
be enough material around the waist. I
got this in a size 10. I think I got
most things like in a size 10 because I
obviously want them to fit here. Um, but
then obviously around the bump can
become a bit questionable depending on
the fit. Got this one, which I just love
the print of. Which way around? Oh, this
way. I
love this. Apparently, it's just meant
to be warm for the foreseeable now. So,
this is like a great little selection to
have. I'm not going to keep all of them,
but I just wanted to try a few and see
what worked. I think these will be
really nice postpartum as well when I'm
just wanting to chill at home and it's
hot. This is really sweet. Little bit
lacy. Feels like it could be a bit
longer than the other two. We'll see.
And then I got some black ones as well
because chic obviously. And this will be
good for if I have to go if I have to go
to London again
before I give birth, which I don't plan
on doing too much, but I do have
something very fun. I'm doing a
questionable distance from my due date.
You know me, I'll never say no to fun.
This dress, I think this is going to be
so nice. It's just really simple. It's
like a tiered. You're not going to be
able to see very well, but it's got like
tiered sections to it. Oh, pockets.
That's nice. Do you know what? For ASOS,
I didn't buy from ASOS for a long time
cuz I felt like the quality was really
going downhill. These
dresses, the materials are just really
nice. Like this would normally be like a
This is kind of like a It feels like a
cotton jersey kind of situation, but it
feels thick and heavy, whereas normally
they'd be doing this in like a tiny
freaking tissue paper
feeling material. I'm excited to try
that. I think that's going to be really
nice. And then I got this really
stretchy, this is very jersey material.
Um, but I'm hoping that it will be
really stretchy halter top. None of
these are maternity, by the way. So
whether you have the bump or not, this
hopefully hopefully you'll hopefully
you'll enjoy. I also had another ASOS
order from the other day. I'll show you
the bits I got. Got these
silk trousers and then there's a top
that goes with it to match. I I think I
mean again we are a month maybe a month
out. I'm not sure. I don't can't
remember the dates but this could be a
contender for baby shower cuz it's
really nice. I'll show you that on. I
also got a top from ASOS which I will
pop on the screen. I can't show you it
cuz it's actually got my dinner down it
from last night. Very embarrassing for
me. So it's it's in the wash. Um but
I'll pop a photo on the screen. Really
nice. Just a lovely summery top. Again,
non maternity but none of this is
maternity. But yeah, love that. And then
I also got this dress which I did throw
on this morning when I was in the garden
before I went on my walk. And it's
basically very similar to the first
dress that I just showed you, but it's
got a little kind of rooouched bit and
straps and it's really nice and the
length is really good. It has adjustable
straps. Again, something that ASOS has
not been doing for a long time and that
was unexpected for me. So, I'm actually
I'm impressed and I have high
expectations for the things that I'm
about to try on. So, let's see how we
go. By the way, this is the uniard just
in case anyone cared to see it in full
before I change. It's so stretchy. So,
this is the dress that I literally just
showed you, the last one that I showed
you with the straps, the
adjustable straps and the little frill
along the neckline. It's really billowy,
which is so so so nice for me. I love
the adjustable straps. I've pulled mine
up quite high just so it's just like
floor skimming. And I also wanted it to
just cover the tops of my SKIMS bra a
little bit. Love this. This is so nice
and easy. And I can really expand into
this. So, this is a really nice one.
Even without the bump, this is just
gorgeous. This is really nice. This is
the sixtory set. I love this. I'm
wearing it with my Zara platform shoes
because the length of these is a little
bit much and honestly right now I just
can't be bothered to go and take
anything to be altered. So yeah, the
Zara platforms are saving the day and
I've just rolled them over once. But if
you are taller than me, these will not
be as problematic. The top probably
needs a strapless bra underneath, but I
really don't have the energy to be
changing my bra for everything I try on.
So just bear with me. It's very It's
very warm up here. I do not need to be
getting more flustered than I already
am. I love this. This is so nice. I
think this is really cute for baby
shower vibes. I can't tell if this gives
like nighty vibes, but it's very
comfortable. I like the fact that it's
got this tie bit at the back. So, I've
managed to I tied it really tight, so
it's almost gone a little bit like
halter style, but it's just brought the
neckline up a bit, which for me is
lovely that I can still get a little bra
on. And the length is good as well. I've
been very lucky with the length of of
these dresses so far. I love this. It's
so hard to find things that are comfy
and bump covering, but that don't make
you feel, this is going to sound really
dumb, like a mom. I know I'm about to be
one. Maybe I'm in denial. Maybe my brain
is in denial, and that's why I don't
want the vibe. But like, it has a nice
minimal aesthetic to it while still
being like interesting. I think I could
wear this for a number of different
situations. This could be a really nice
baby shower one to be fair. Um, it is a
little bit long. I could wear it with a
flat, but I've just thrown it on with my
Zara platforms just to dress it up a
bit, but I probably could wear it with a
little low sandal. I love the fact that
it has pockets. It's really like
nonse. I'm really happy. I'm so happy
with these dresses. Again, love this.
This is similar in length to the
previous strapless dress. So, you can
see like it's just touching the floor,
but just to show you could wear it with
a flat. don't have to wear it with a
platform heel like I just was. But yeah,
this is stunning. Basically the exact
same makeup as the previous dress. So
it's got the elasticated back which is
amazing for me for pulling it up over
the bump. Like I at first I was like,
are these going to go on? They're so
stretchy at the back which is really
nice. So you don't need to worry about
sizing up. You can take your regular
size. You could probably size down as
well. Got a lot of give, which is so
nice. Not see-through. Has pockets. I
love the linen feel of this. It's a
really thick linen as well, which is so
nice. I think a lot of these dresses
will work really nicely with my new
suede jacket as well, which is great.
This is my jacket of the summer. Love
this dress. Just really simple, but
added a little bit of gold jewelry just
to dress it up a bit. It's so nice. It's
so comfy. It's not got the most amazing
neckline is the only thing I would say,
but in terms of just like comfort and
ease, this is delicious. This is the
only one I'm actually not sure on. feels
quite dressy. Like the halter and the
low cut kind of gives it more of a
dressy vibe. I'm not sure whether it's
necessarily needed for me over the
summer. This actually would have been a
good contender for my cousin's wedding
cuz she is allowing black as part of her
dress code.
Evening routine at the moment looks a
little bit different to normal. I'm not
hanging in my living room because it is
still being painted. It's still being
painted. I'm so tired, by the way. If I
look distracted, it's cuz I'm scared I'm
going
crosseyed. But yeah, we are hanging out
in the bedroom in the evening at the
moment. I spend a lot of time bouncing
on this ball. It's a really cute ball.
It's um it matches my dressing gown.
It's from Amazon. And the TV is actually
currently in the bedroom because we
needed to put it somewhere. I hate hate
hate TVs in bedrooms. However, I am
rinsing it for all it's worth for this
literally one week left only. I am
literally rinsing it. I'm loving binge
watching things in here. Kardashians are
so cozy. Tonight we are going to have
the Molly May documentary. It's just so
cozy in here having a TV. I hate it when
it's off. It is not cute when the TV is
off, but when you've got like something
playing and all the all the lamps are
on, like none of the big lights, just
like the nice lamps, I feel very
peaceful and cozy in here. I sit here
and I bounce on my ball and then I move
over to the bed and wedge myself into my
pregnancy pillow and it's just so comfy.
Nala is also loving it. She just loves
she loves life in here. Um, but that is
where I'm going to leave you for this
week. I really hope you guys enjoyed
this vlog. Sorry, I was a bit grumpy at
the beginning. I was editing that and I
was like, I don't want to cut loads, but
I have not winged this much in a long
time. I'm I'm I'm back. I'm fine. Normal
service will resume in the next vlog.
Yeah. I'll see you guys then. Love you.
Bye.
