M&S AUTUMN 2025 🍂 Fashion, Homeware & Food New Finds VLOG

[Music] Can you hear that wind? It is so blustery and stormy outside today. It is actually a perfect kind of day for just spending the day inside doing absolutely nothing but diving into a good Netflix series. Um, but I am going to pop out today. I want to pop to finesse, grab um a few bits, some essentials, and uh thought I might as well whilst I'm there, take you with me and have a look at the maybe some of their new autumn fashion. Little brows in the shops, but otherwise we are having a very cozy day. I might even do some cooking later, some baking. We shall see. Uh, I am going to start this morning with my breakfast. In fact, I'll show you what I do because I'm very much in a routine of having the same breakfast every day. It's just it works for me. It's full of good nutritional goodness. It's healthy and it's delicious. So, I will prep and show you my breakfast. But before I do another thing, I'm just going to head into my pantry. It's where we keep all of our kind of supplements, electrolytes. Tom's got some protein powder in there as well, collagen, all of that kind of goodness. But it is also where I keep my appetone, which I've talked to you guys about before, and it is a capsule that I take every single day, just one a day. Incorporating that into a daily habitual routine, I find quite easy. I know some people can like fall on off the bandwagon, but I feel like when you start when you start taking them because it's not necessarily I mean depending on what you're taking it, it's not necessarily like an instant wow. It's one of those things that you stick with and you see the benefits long term. So I just it's easy as part of my routine. I find it really easy. But yeah, get into it if you if you don't have it at the same time every day. So again, for me, morning first thing as I have my breakfast, I will have my supplements. And Epto have very kindly sponsored today's video. I'm going to leave a link to them below along with a code which will get you an extra 10% off your first order. It's Freya 10. But I've talked to you guys about these before and a few of you have messaged me noticing the benefits, too. Over 70% of people suffer with some form of digestive discomfort regularly. Whether that be irregular bowel movements, bloating, just discomfort in general with your gut health. Your gut health is so important. They always I've said this before, but I always remember my therapist once telling me that your gut is like your second brain. So often if you struggle with like anxiety or um mood swings or whatever, your gut is the first thing to tell you before even any other symptoms arise, you notice it with your gut. So in order to manage your digestion, Epome is so easy and convenient to do that cuz all it is, I'll show you. It's just one capsule which is a way that I like to describe it, it's like a capsule within a capsule. Can you see that there? So that just helps it uh reach your guts alive because there are different bacterial strains within here, 11 of them in total. Clinically triled makes it 30 times more effective to reach your gut alive. And because it is a capsule like this, it just makes it very easy to and very convenient for like traveling with you. You know, there's no need to like refrigerate anything that um you might otherwise have to do. It's just a simple pop in your mouth, swallow. In fact, I might as well take mine now. And with my sort of like busy schedule, I'm here, there, and everywhere trying to stay on top of energy, fitness, walking the dog, running errands, eating out, vlogging for you guys. In the past, my digestion hasn't always been the easiest to manage, whereas now it is. If you haven't heard of it before, it's formulated by a nutritionist uh who I follow on socials and have done for a long time and the nutritionist. I've got a couple of her recipe books that I've showed you guys before and she just because she is a nutritionist, you know, she knows what she's talking about when it comes to gut health. It gives me confidence knowing that she's the one behind it all. The main sort of benefits I've noticed it starting less bloating, uh more less peaks and troughs with energy, and that is also something that I think has helped because I've reduced my sugar intake. So, I used to be really like sweet tooth. I still am a sweet tooth naturally, but I have really refrained and limited myself to sugar intake. Not saying I don't have any at all. But I, you know, I would be in the habit of every single tea or coffee, I would be having a few biscuits with them or chocolate bars. I'd be having desserts after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. every single time I go to get a coffee from a cafe, I'd be getting a piece of cake to go with it. So, I've really uh cut back on that with the odd treat here and there. So, like I said, I'm not restricted by any means, but simply by reducing my sugar intake, taking one of these a day, that's the main thing that I've noticed with my energy levels is it's been more sustained rather than up and down. And if you do want to make gut health part of your daily routine, I'd recommend doing what I do, which is like a 3mon subscription, which gets you the best value and you get my code Freya 10, which will get you that 10% off as well. And it makes it convenient with it coming and delivered straight to you. No, it it also encourages you if you are someone that struggles to remember to take them every day to take them because you know that you're getting another delivery. you don't want to get a delivery and you've still got loads left cuz then that means you've not been taking them. Let's make my breakfast. I'll show you what I have. It's essentially like a yogurt bowl. And then I have my pantry unit which just has lots of different nuts and seeds and dried fruits that I will sprinkle on the top. I also have some frozen berries which I'll just heat up in a microwave for like 30 seconds. And it also means that you've not got berries going moldy in your fridge. They're in the freezer. Our favorite ones to get are from Costco just cuz you get a big bag. They last for ages and we have them every single day. Anyway, that is my breakfast. Let's make it together. Then let's head out to the shops. Have a nice cozy, wholesome day together. If you haven't already, make sure you are set with a cozy drink, some snacks, maybe light candles, and let's enjoy the day together. Dream up a world of pirates. My dream fall down. Mama, I'm fine. Don't worry. Go back out to sea. Sail home sweet home where the ships must grow to get all cleaned up and put away. Call it a day. I'm not sure. Today it's a day for rain. We'll see. I've just got caught in the rain running into my car, but I'm going to take Barney to Tom's Cricket. Cricket in the rain is no fun. Um I think there'll be a lot of waiting, so I'm going to drop Barney off there, I think. And uh yeah, play it by ear. But I'm going to have a look around Nutsford um first with him. So hopefully it brightens up a little bit so we don't get caught in the rain. I think it is due to it's meant to be very in and out today. Right now it's so dark. So I don't know by the time I get there. Um might have to hit stop in the car for 5 minutes until the rain stops. But I will have a little browse around Nutsford first. They've got a new Cotswwell company that I want to have a look in. Maybe grab a bite to eat from Gales. Um and then what else am I going to do? Um, yeah, drop Barney off and then I'll maybe pop over to M&S, maybe even get some foodie bits in, pick up Barney, head back home, and show you anything that I do get. [Music] >> Meories. >> Come. They're haunting me so I can't sleep. She was a pretty little liar who cut me deep cuz she left me here alone. Now my bed feels just like star. [Music] Why did she go? [Music] The heavens have opened again. So, get me inside that shop. I am going to pit stop via Starbucks though and get a drink. Now, what am I going to have? That's the question because I don't think I'm going to go for anything too naughty today. I think we're going to stick with Americano or Coltado. Oh, they've got some new kiches. So, do you want some? >> Hi. Can I please get a um Do you have any of the grilled cheese toasties? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I'll get one of those, please. And a decaf cortado. >> Anything else? >> That's it. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thanks. Nice. That was a quick order. Had even got the window down. She was just saying, "What do you want? Haven't decided. I panic. There is panic order. But I'm pretty happy with my decision there. Just a little toasty to feed my belly and a quartado. As much as it pains me to not have a PSL, I would love one. It's just a cup full of sugar though, isn't it? Oh, I need to stop being a Scrooge with this sugar. No, I'm I should pat myself on the back with being good. I need to I'm in two minds. I'm always like, just have the pumpkin spice latte, just be done with it. But no, pat on my back for doing so well and keeping with it. Not eliminating them all together. I'm just having the odd one rather than every single time I go and get a coffee somewhere. Um, Cortado does have milk in it, but it's only a little short drink. But anyway, drink toasty and then we will head over to M&S. I should have actually maybe had lunch in M&S. I'm looking at how busy the car park and everything has been as I've been driving past. It is so busy here today. I'm at the traffic center today. Um it is just the thought of and it's a Saturday. I don't actually know what I was thinking to be honest with you. Um the thought of being in a really busy cafe when I could just do a quick drive through. It's much easier. Thank you. Can I scan the app? Is that okay? Thanks. >> Lovely. Thank you. >> Amazing. Thanks a lot. I wonder if that is Tom's mom saying the cricket's off. Where am I going to go? Hello. >> Hi. Sorry. I don't know what happened. >> I just as you know, they've just called it off. >> Have they? I did think they would. It is tipping it down here. >> I'm just going to set off back. >> Oh, okay. So, you're happy to drive Barney back home then? >> I think yes. He should be all right, shouldn't he? >> Yeah. It is cooled off. >> Well, I'm going to just pit stop, decide what I want to do. because I do feel like they're going back home. Oh jeez. See, this is a little treat as well, but you know. Oh my goodness. Fresh. Ow, it's hot. Sorry. I feel like I'm just focused on eating and also thinking about what I'm going to do. Oh, >> hello. >> Around me on you or just around me. >> Hello. I think that's a pocket dial. I think I am going to go back and I can either go to a different M&S this afternoon closer to me, which will hopefully be quieter, or cuz I do need to get some food in anyway. um or do it tomorrow. It wasn't a wasted trip though because I needed to do some returns and I've done them. So, that's good. But everyone's just so busy. Traffic center on a weekend now. It's just so hectic. But obviously most people work during the week, have to come at the weekends or have kids that have to come at the weekend. So, it's just making me grateful that I can film content for you guys during the week when it is quieter and I'm able to get content in the shops. because if I had to film at the weekend every weekend, it's just it's too hectic. Good morning everybody. It's actually the next day. I ended up yesterday pretty much um spending the day with Tom, his mom. We went to watch the cricket. Like I said, um cricket was then cooled off. Went to the traffic center, did my returns, but just didn't get round to doing the Marks and Spencers trip. We ended up going over to I'm just going to get ready for the morning. Sound a bit croaky. It's literally the first I've spoken today other than a good morning to Tom. We ended up going to uh Tom's end of season cricket awards ceremony last night, which I wasn't sure I was going to be going to or not, but in the end, because the cricket was cooled off, we like I said, I came back home. We ended up having um just a day together, the three of us. We went for a nice long walk with Barney. Um and then we were like, "Right, well, let's just go over to the cricket club again." And rain had stopped. Of course, soon as cricket's cooled off, the rain stopped. And then we went over to the cricket club and did an end of season awards. So, met a couple more of the players that Tom plays with this year cuz he's moved over to a new cricket club this season. Bit closer to here. He used to play over at Cleo and um yeah, it was fine whilst we lived over that way. Oh, are you fetching it? Someone's just posted something through the door. Uh and yeah, that was that was us yesterday. Ended up meeting a few of the players. Clear road, like I said, it's just getting a bit it was getting a bit far to too far to travel really. So Tom did a couple of seasons there whilst we lived here. Actually, a few in the end given that we've now been here in October. It will be 5 years we've been in this house. Can you believe it? I can't. Especially when I think that Tom and I have been together for for 10 years. So half of our relationship is at this house and that just seems mental to me. um almost half considering it just I don't know it feels like this is like this house almost feels like a new chapter of our lives together even though it's literally half of our lives together which is so crazy to me and it also does get me thinking about how when you're in like routine and um as much as we are with this house and we're settled with it and how quickly time flies. And I do think that's part and parcel of getting older, you know, start thinking things and you start thinking, I'm getting older. I know we're still young, but for me, I feel like whatever age you are, you feel like you're getting older. Cuz even my 20ies, I was like, "Oh, I'm getting I'm getting towards my late 20ies. That's basically 30." Now I'm like well into the 30s and I have spent some of my evening yesterday whil watching TV scrolling Tik Tok and seeing some new viral M&F snacks. My goodness, some of them look elite. So I will be keeping my eyes peeled. I don't want to just go overboard and do a super unhealthy shop. But there are some snacks that I just I don't think I'll be able to resist or that we can save for Halloween or something. Um yeah, whilst we were watching TV last night, I was doing that and we were watching a new series that we've started. Well, we actually finished it yesterday. We started it a few days ago. Finished it yesterday and it was definitely a series that I would recommend. If you've got Amazon Prime, it's called The Girlfriend. You might have seen it advertised. You might have already watched it. If you did, let me know what you thought of it. But it's one of those typical thriller series um like drama series and the whole basis is around um the relationships between a girlfriend of a guy and his mom. So it's like the dynamic between the middle party being him and his new girlfriend and his mom. And yeah, I would say it's worth a watch. Mascara I'm using currently, although I've been using this for a while now, so it might be due up an update, but telescopic mascara. Mascaras just seem to last for ages for me. They just seem to go on and on and on. I know they say, is it 3 months you've got to have it open for? Oh, in fact, it's not on this one. It's usually on every package, isn't it? It might have been on a label that I've peeled off, but pretty sure with mascaras they say after 3 months you should dispose once opened. Quite a stiff brush, so it separates each individual lash. Can you hear the music? I hope you can't. I don't think you will be able to, but with YouTube, you can't be playing music in the background or else you'd be copyrighted. But Tom's got music on upstairs doing a workout if you can hear that. Hopefully you can't. My iconic nude is in my handbag. Oh, in fact, it's here from last night. I took it with me. Iconic nude by Charlotte Tilbury. Lip gloss. I'm going to use my Kiko Milano 3D hydro lip gloss in 05. And then outfit of the day. Very simple today. Given that I'm going to go to M&S, I want to see if I can have a look at their autumn new fashion bits. So, I thought I'd keep my outfit simple. So, if I can trans some bits and mix and match, I want jeans. Although, I've just noticed there's a mark on these jeans. They are my Everlane jeans. I've not worn these in a while. I've kind of forgot about them given that I've been wearing my Halara jeans so much lately, which I still like. You know, these have a stiffness to them, but um they're not as tight as I remembered, so they are comfortable enough. So, I'm going to wear these jeans. This top is a basic top that I got recently from Mango. It's the one that I bought in a few colors cuz I really like the neckline and the I just feel like it's going to be a classic staple. I have this jacket. I'm not going to wear this cuz I want to see if I can get it tailored. I've shown it to you before. I think I bought it last last season and I didn't end up wearing it because I felt like it was too oversized for me and it's it is too oversized for me. That's why I need to get it tailored. But I bought it from vintage so it's secondhand. So there weren't you know it's not like I had a choice of sizes and I didn't know exactly how it would fit when it got here. But I do like it. I love the color of it and the length and I'm happy with the body size being a bit boxier. But the sleeves, I feel like I would have to scrunch up like that, which is fine, but they just fall down cuz they're so big. So, if you see, as soon as the sleeves are down, it just makes it look ridiculous. Like, my hands aren't even coming out. So, if I could just have the sleeves taken up a bit, maybe that would solve the issue. And as the jacket, I do absolutely love it, but I do need to get it tailored. So, I'm going to leave that one here for now. I might wear given that it's looking a little dark and overcast out there. I might wear my M&S trench. It was one of the Arquette dupes again. I think last year this one, but it's just a simple short trench that I will wear with a cross body bag. Maybe my All Saints one that I've been loving. I wouldn't mind seeing if they've got um any other bags because I've been leaning more towards wearing bags without a big brand on the front. Obviously, I've got my YSL which I love. Don't get me wrong, it's my first designer bag. Not that I've got a whole collection. I've got these two mainly and I do have a little smaller Louis Vuitton as well, but with the bigger sort of like branded logo on the front, I've just been reaching for that a little less. And the only other options that I've got in my wardrobe are my Uniqlo cross body bag, which is the same shape as this one, but like a noisy fabric, so I would say it's more casual. And then this one, which is a suede from All Saints. I do have this one from M&S, but I feel like that's a more of a clutch. Like I would hold that because I don't like the chain that comes with it, and I'm not going to go out and about in the shops holding my bag. That's more of like an evening option, I would say. So, I wouldn't mind seeing if they've got any other like suede given that suede is having its moment lately. Suede bags, maybe even suede boots as well, like a nice heeed, even low heel, but heeed boot. Uh, today though for shoes, I will wear Is it boot weather yet? I don't know. I feel like once I'm in the shop, it's not going to be too Do I wear a loafer? I have these loafers from H&M and I just don't know if loafers suit me. I have to take off the socks. I don't know. I just feel like Michael Jackson in them. I don't know why. Uh maybe it's cuz the color because I do like my Birkenstock more chunky loafer that's in a suede, a lighter color. I think I'm going to just go with a trainer today and I'll probably put on my Yeah, I'm going to wear my Vasia chunky trainers. A little spritz of perfume before we go. I've been enjoying the orange marmalade Joe Malone one lately and I have just remembered Barney never fetched the mail, did he? So, let's hope he's not destroyed it. Hello. I'm talking about you. I see a little shred of paper. Oh, Barney. What have you done? Did you destroy it? Can't exactly blame him, can I? What do we expect if we ask our dog to fetch the mail and we're not there to supervise? Oh, thank you. Lucky it's an advert that we don't need. I can't believe we did this yesterday. I'm going to turn it off cuz it is warm down here. We flicked on the heating. and it felt so good. Although, having said that, I mean, it was cold and it definitely needed it. It's 19 in here now. That's fine. Uh, it's 21 in the front room and it's it's a bit toasty. Um, yeah, we it did need it. It was I think the house is saying it was 16°, which was just that little bit too cold. So, I've turned it back off again now cuz it might be a bit too early in the season to be putting on the heating full whack. But, um, yeah. Right. Have I got everything? Let's go to M&S. [Music] Fight off a thousand monsters hiding in the sand on Mars. Hijack a flying saucer. Steady fly. I really like this suede jacket. It's only £40 as well, which I think for M&S for a jacket is pretty good. I like how they styled it with some white jeans, little black belt. It's kind of like a more of a bomber style. And then we've got some cozy knips coming in for autumn. Loads of knit vests as well, which I love, especially like this little cable knit one. £28. And then they've got lots of like kind of wax jackets or barber style jackets as well. You can see styled up there. Like the hooks that they use. I don't know. I really like it. This one is £90 with the little corduroy collar and sleeves. And then this is the kind of like viral jacket that everyone is buying. I saw it when they had loads of them in stock, but they seem to be quite sparse now. Like this is just a size six. Um, but yeah, very country Gilmore Girls autumn. Love it. They also have a shorter version at £75 with the cream corduroy collar. You can see the difference in length that I personally prefer the longer length ones so that you can wear them with like leggings and boots. I would get so much use out of this. But I do feel like cuz I already have a barber jacket. I don't know if I'm just buying unnecessarily. Do you know what I mean? Cuz that one I am tempted for. I'm not going to lie. And I'm going to think on it. I'm going to keep walking around and have a look elsewhere. Oh, this is cute. This little cable knit cardigan. 46. They also have some like Teddy Sherling Borg materialed um waist coats which are very similar to the one I had from the white company last year. This one's £46. And the buttons are different. I prefer the buttons on mine. Can't remember what they are, but they're not like a gold like that. Um you can easily remove or change them. But yeah, very very similar. And I think the White Company one is double the price. Lots of burgundy I'm seeing. And I really like these trousers. These leather or faux leather trousers that they brought out. They brought them in their barrel leg um style. They're £40. That's not bad. But I still don't know if the barrel leg suits me. I've tried. Maybe it's just like a poor fit that I've tried, but I just don't know if they suit me. I'm still after a longer length jean, like a wide leg. And they've also got the burgundy and a jumper which they've styled up on the mannequin with um some joggers for like a more casual fit. These are the joggers that they've styled them with. They are 36. Another style of jean that I'm seeing a lot of is like the flare or the boot cut leg style, which I think for more of a pear-shaped figure like myself, it is actually quite a flattering cut, but it's just I'm not used to wearing flared or boot cut, but I ought to give it a try. They don't have these ones in my size, though. Um, but yeah, what do you think of the the boot cut or the flare? Is it going to come back properly or is it just going to have a moment and then go again? I think it's going to come back. All the cozy knits. This Cloud Yarn crew neck jumper is only £26. They've got all the neutral colors. I personally love the first two, the cream and the gray. [Music] >> I love this jacket. I think it's reversible as well. Yeah, it is. which I think is a great idea to have a reversible twoin one. It is Peroon though. How much is it? Doesn't say on that one. Uh the price has been taken off them though. I'm not a big lover of this color, this like mustard color on me. But this jumper, £30, it reminds me with the details and everything of my Free People jumper that I've got in a few colors. And they've got some like widelegg jeans that I might try as well seeen as they like I said I was after some. Let's see if they've got a 12. Yes. Let me hold them up. If they're long enough, I might try these ones on. I've just seen they've got that jumper in gray as well. Last time I was in here, there was a jacket in the men's wear that I thought Tom would love. So, I thought I'd just have a quick look in the men's wear again for that. But whilst I'm here, this is really nice. I would totally wear this even though it's men's 35. I just undid the buttons. In fact, I'm going to try that on. You know, this is men's wear as well. And it's part of their lamb's wool blend, but £38. I do love that. I wish it had a lower V. I think that makes it a bit more suitable for the men's department. Just personally, I would just prefer a slightly deeper V. I also really like this jumper, which is cream with the little cream buttons as well and the little collar on the little colored knit. How much is that one? And that one's £30. I think the men's wear is cheaper. You know, we've only got extra large or 2XL, though. That's probably a bit too big for me given that it's men's wear as well. [Music] >> I saw my friend M bought this and I loved it on her. I thought, oh, I'll try that on. Um, but they've only got an extra small or an extra large. So, quite the size difference. I have seen though that they've got it in cream. So, I don't know whether to try it in the cream instead. I'm just thinking with cream jeans, that one would look really nice. Whereas this one, it probably be a bit too much cream on cream on cream. But I could wear this with blue jeans, blue denim, and it be nice. It's a really soft fabric. I might just get both to take into the changing rooms to try. Um, and just double check that there's no smalls or mediums. No, I think it's just extra small, extra large. I keep seeing these and loving the look of them, but I'm pretty sure I I tried these on last time I was in in like a blue denim and they felt a bit too small. So, maybe I could size up and see, but it just felt a bit tight around like the bum area. Um, but I like the length of them. The fact that you can get a longer leg length as well. They're essentially they give you that effect of a long jean because they're a denim. I also have something very similar to this again from the White Company. This one's only £50 though. So again, it's kind of like that half price point. Um, but a good little staple for wintry dog walks and for layering. And I like the fact that this one has, can you see the back is slightly longer. I always love that in a top for when I know I'm just going to be wearing it like on dog walks with leggings and things. So yeah, I think that's pretty good at £50. [Music] Now could be a good time to get some shoes with the sales being on for things like ballet flats where they're obviously a bit more summery. Um they're all I think they're 50% off. They all just have these sales stickers on no prices, but I think it's 50% off everything that's in the sale. I feel like when you come into change rooms like this and you compare it to the Zara brand new one worlds apart feel like they need a bit of an update. But anyway, anything that actually fits, I will show you it once it's on. But I've just got a couple of different jean options, some little tops, polo shirt for the men's wear, those vests again, some more jean options. So, let's get trying on. This is the knit vest on. And I do think I prefer the other color, but I prefer this fit. So, I think this one is just slightly too snug for me at the um with it being extra small. I think I might hold off and get the other color. Maybe have a look online. I'll leave anything that I do find linked below if you did want to shop it online. Um but yes, that's my decision. I think watch me end up buying this. This is the fit of the extra small, hence why a couple of buttons are undone. Um, I do quite like this color again with a a lighter bottom. And these I think they've definitely helped sizing up. So, I've sized up to a 14. And they are they are a little bit baggy, but obviously because they've got the drawstring, you can tighten them in. Um, but it just means that it's not tight across here anymore, which I prefer. Like it just falling a bit more. Nice and long as well. The only thing is with these, and these ones are the long length, which I wanted to get, um, is that there's a mark on them. So, I'm I am actually going to get these if I can find a pair without a mark because I've tried to scratch it off and I can't get it off. So, fingers crossed they have these because I do really like them and I think they will look nice because of the long length with um my Birkenstock loafers. I feel like this is prime example that sizing is it doesn't matter. Got an extra small on top. I've got a 12 on the bottoms. The trousers I just tried on are a 14. I'm getting them. This is fine. And these are too big. Um, I also don't know how I feel about the Plaza wide leg. They're too There's just too much fabric. I think it's a bit too Look at it's too much. I really wanted to love this top, but it is so scratchy. So, unfortunately, I'm going to leave it. Um, but just thought I would show it to you on whilst I've got it on anyway with the uh plazo trouser. Just just got my foot caught in them then because there's that much material. Yeah, unfortunately now I've got this polo on. It definitely feels more of like a fit for men. Um, the sleeves are obviously quite long so I've just turned them up which I don't mind. And I could just like kind of half tuck it. This is the medium by the way, but it's the bottom. It feels a bit um slimmer fit around the here, which I know it doesn't look it, but I mean, just look at me. That is not flattering, is it? And this is a medium, so I couldn't size up to large or size down to small either. Um, so I don't like it, but this is the fit. It definitely, if they did this in a women's oversized fit, I think it would work. Right, I've just come to homeware. Thought I'd have a quick look at what they've um got in new in some new cushions for autumn. The shelves are looking kind of sparse though. I'm not going to lie. And it doesn't look like they've got loads in. So, I'm not convinced we'll be able to get much from the homeware department, but these are pretty. These little Let's Celebrate ones are cute as well. How much are they? £4 for a set of two. And look at their Halloween stand. I feel like they definitely need to uh restock. I'm hoping the hoping the food section isn't this empty either cuz I was planning on a full food shop. Oh, these are so pretty at £12. Look how nice they are. These little napkins, pumpkin napkins. I love all of these tones for autumn as well. The dark woods and dark greens. That's a really nice server platter. Little wooden salad servers. £10. So, I was just about to buy these, but I've just seen they're actually four different designs in each pack. So, if they'd have all been pumpkins, I love that illustration. But there's a toad stool, which I don't love that one. What else have they got? That squash is quite nice. And the maple leaf has a lot of pink in it. So, I kind of wish they'd have just been all pumpkins. I would have definitely bought those had they have been, but never mind. These little photo frames are quite nice, but again, I really just like that color mostly. I think to be honest with you for homeware M&S is better online at least with our local store anyway. They just don't seem to have anything that stands out to me. Like these are just no or this full range of these um green and blue bows. I mean they're pretty and I can see why some might like them, but there's just not really much of my kind of aesthetic here. And I've also seen online they're starting to get like Christmas bits and bobs in where I just feel like this store still has summer things in. How nice are these sambari overnight wheat biscs? And then they also do the apple crumble overnight oats that I like. It's 11:00 and I haven't eaten yet today. So this is dangerous. Doing a shop. I might try this one, you know. Bonafi overnight wheat bis 16 g of protein. Is it high in sugar though? Probably. They also do a blueberry yogurt bowl, bit like an aai bowl, but obviously with blueberries instead of a fruit. Um, I don't know which one to go for for my breakfast. Or maybe do I just at this point skip breakfast? I have got a chicken to have a salad, like chicken Caesar salad. So maybe I'll just have salad for lunch and brunch, breakfast all in one. See people talking about these. They're meant to be really good. mac and cheese bites if you're a Marmite fan. I think they do like a Marmite caramel sauce as well somewhere. Um, but I don't know if I am a Marmite fan. I bet I would like them, but I'm going to resist on this occasion. They've also got the Marmite in the pizza. Here's another one. I feel like Marmite is having its moment, that's for sure. This is like a little cheese bake with Marmite in it as well. Let me know. Are you a Marmite fan or not? This is another new which I feel like would be good if you were hosting an Arctic Colin the caterpillar. So it's got uh it's like a dessert but with kind of more iced. If you didn't know as well M&S sell Dalesford the bone broth that I like. Um they have their soups as well but the bone broths are just like full of goodness even just to have as like an afternoon snack rather than a full meal. Although I've never tried the beef one before. That sounds good. I might give that one a try. We had pizza recently and it came with a chili or hot honey and it was so delicious. I'm thinking about trying this. Although that's definitely You can tell it's more of a sauce than a honey. And the one that we he had was more honey. So I wonder if there's a honey version with a bit of chili in instead. Although what's this? Coffee barbecue sauce. Sounds interesting. It is hot chocolate season in full swing. And they've got these new flavored hot chocolates. I like the sound of the mocka latte drinking chocolate. I think it's just like chocolate flakes bit like this one that you just add hot milk to. Here we go. This is the sauce that I was talking about that people are talking about on Tik Tok. Caramel Marmite. I'm not so sure. I'm also by the honeys and they have got a hot honey uh sorry hot maple syrup but not a hot honey I can't see I wanted to find these as well these are a naughty treat but although the biscuits the outrageously chocolatey borbins and custard creams are elite they brought out some new ones so I really like these little bite-sized ones that they do um so these aren't that new but I'm going to get those to pop in the cookie jar these ones are new little wafer rounds Um, and then these as well. They're light custard creams, but they're with speckos, which is like lotus biscoff. So, I might get those to try as well. These are also new, I think. Yeah, they're part of the Christmas range, but these cookie dunkers, they've got peppermint and double chocolate. And then again, the specks and toffee cookie cutters. Cookie cutter. Cookie cookie dunker. So, they're a good size obviously for dunking. That's the whole point of them. I don't know which ones to try. Or maybe do I hold off trying these ones? I've already got some biscuits to try. But they do look good. I think I'd quite like the peppermint ones. You know, I remember these from last year. They say new, but they definitely did them last year. Cinnamon bun bites or at least something similar. And they are delicious. Good for um well, they're like a Christmas edition. I also want to try these, which are new. They do these Swiss clouds, which they've done for a while, but these ones are without nuts. Then they have their little munch mixes that they do every year as well for Christmas. I've never actually got them to try because they don't sound that appealing to me. I was expecting a lot more for Halloween, but this seems to be it. Like this is the whole Halloween section. Then there's Christmas this side and normal this side. So, I'm kind of underwhelmed with their Halloween selection. But they've got these pumpkin biscuits that look good. Spooky cookie dough bites. These are similar to those cinnamon ones for Christmas. Salted fudgy brownie cookie dough bites with candy and brownie pieces. Little caramel ghost and hocus crocus frog. And then the Christmasy ones they've got similar to last year again. They've got the caramel tree. That sounds good. The peanut butter reindeer bubbly Santa. And then Oh, that's good. They do like a huge version. Uh little Christmas chocolates with the dogs. Oh, that's cute. Santa's Christmas journey. I got these last year if you remember to go on the tree. Then they've got some savory Christmas snacks. The sticky toffee cashews sound good. Hot maple popcorn. Um what else? Some tortillas, crisps. Pretty similar to last year, I would say. I don't know why I'm showing you Christmas stuff already, but here we go. It's It's being brought to us on the shelves. Tempted to try the hot maple popcorn. That does sound nice. I feel like both Tom and I would like that. Or do we just not steer from our classic Butterkiss, which is the best? Could try it in uh crisps instead. Maybe. Like passing ships. Tom has literally just left. I had to put them on. It's on. It's so dark and uh stormy outside. Back home. And I thought I'd show you what I picked up. the jeans that I tried on those light colored jeans. I asked if any cuz I went back to where they were and there weren't any more in that size with um the long leg length. So I said, "Is there any more in the back?" She said, "No, that's what we've got." And she said, "And to be honest with you, we've had those that long. I'm surprised they're not in the sale already." And I thought, "Oh, do I hold off?" And I said, "Well, I'm just after another pair that don't have a mark on." And she said unfortunately even she said all of the white stuff came with marks on it which isn't very good is it? So even if they had another size of mine in store in the back which they don't then like I said all of them had marks on pretty much which is annoying for a white jean I wasn't you know I could have got money off at the checkout she said but then it's non-refundable non- returnturnable and I don't know if the mark's going to come out. I did get this bit TMI for all mostly girls on this channel. Anyway, I did get these, which I've seen that they do um in M&S, the period pants, which I decided to pick up. Now, I have a couple of pairs like this sort of style from Primark, which I tend to sleep in. Um, but it was mostly these two that I wanted to pick up. Firstly, the nude set, so that if I wore lighter colored clothes, you could wear these. I wish they did these in a thong version though. They do do a thong version, but they only had them in black and one leopard print. Two black, one leopard print. I'd prefer if they were all black and all nude, but whatever. Um, but yeah, I've never seen a period pant that's in a thong form before. So, I thought that was ideal for, you know, like just on the last day or the first day or whatever, where you're bit lighter or I don't know, you just want that added peace of mind to have it as a period pen even if you don't necessarily need do do you know what I mean? And then I did get some foodie bits. So, I saw, as you saw, sorry, I got the rotisserie chicken. I'm going to have that now with some salad leaves. I just went for I was going to buy a full Caesar salad kit that they do, but to be honest with you, I only use half the sauce that they give. We've got parmesan if I wanted to sprinkle that on. And croutons I'm not that bothered for having. I would rather have no bread if I can. So, I thought I'll just get a bag of iceberg lettuce, do some kind of of my own dressing, even if it's just a bit of mayonnaise. Chicken and mayo I love. Or even as a sandwich, that would be really nice. Tom's going to have some. He's just gone for a run, but when he gets back, he's going to have some. He might have it in a wrap or something with some iceberg lettuce. I'm really intrigued by these kiwi berries. They were on offer two for £4, so I thought you don't get that many in there. Let me just get two. I don't think I've Do you just eat the full lot? Perfect for snacking. Wash before use. Let me just wash this one. I know with kiwis you can actually eat the skin. I would never eat the skin, but these aren't furry or anything. They are. [Music] It looks like a kiwi. Wow. They're a bit more tart than a kiwi. Wow. I like these. Juicy, sweet, but a little bit sharp. Oh, I did get the viral gingerbread and white chocolate cookies. Now, am I right in saying these have come back? Cuz I am pretty sure I remember having these last year for Christmas time around that time they brought them out. They brought some kind of white I'm sure it was gingerbread and white chocolate. Always confuses me in the shops when they say new cuz I think are they new or are they just a return? these snacks. Oh, I feel like I need to do a snack taste test with you all, though. Okay, there's a little piece in here of one. Can you see like a mini one? I knew I'd like these. That's the size of them normally. And they're a chocolatey cluster. Oh, wow. Okay, these really good because they're Oh, actually, sorry, it's just the flavor's hitting me. They're malt, so they're like a malta multi-holixy. The flavor of them are delicious. This could be my new favorite M&S snack, like treat snack. These I'm just going to go straight in the cookie jar. I've had those before. Love them. Same with these are just a stock up of the treat section. These sort of things last forever. So, um, little dark chocolate rice cakes when during the week when I'm being I never do no sugar, but I try and if I'm going to have sugar, even though I've just a bit of a mouthful of that, I try and have dark like a piece of dark chocolate or something like these where they're only 120 calories per pack and it's dark chocolate. So, anyway, I got those for a treat. And then these ones as well to stock up the cookie jar as well. And again, they've got good shelf lives on, but the speckos flavored. And then just standard milk, some salmon, the bone broth. I decided to get the chicken and the beef one. They are they are pricey. Okay. But they did another brand and they were the same price. So I guess you're paying for Dale's food as a brand, but also bone broth anyway. Fresh bone broth bone broth is going to be pricing. But it I see it as you pay more to eat healthy food, which is annoying, but you're filling your body with goodness. So, I'm happy to pay more to Do you know what I'm trying to say? I feel like we live in a world where fast food and poor quality food is so accessible, so affordable in comparison to healthier food that I mean, you could do it more affordably by maybe doing your own bone broth. But then the time and effort put into that, if you have that, then fine. But anyway, I'm paying for convenience as well as health. But yeah, healthy food does cost more. It's like even salmon fillets. It's like salmon fillets. Two salmon fillets. And this isn't just M&S. This is across the board with supermarkets. Aldi, you know, I'll buy them from anywhere. But they're all sort of like £5. Do you know what I mean? Greek yogurt. I have that for my breakfast. And we did have a bread topper in the fridge that Tom bought cuz when I bought this with the bread topper, let me show it to you. when we first when it first kind of came out in the summer and I tried this um and we loved it so much that Tom has since bought one of these but he didn't see any of these with them so he bought that anyway knowing that they've got pretty good shelf lives on and I thought I'll grab this um so that we've got this to have um and I have just come home to a parcel I haven't opened it yet so I thought we could open it together very precariously balanced there but it's from a brand called by matter who I've talked about before. They do, if this is a top up, I don't think it is cuz it's not the same but they do a like a fabric freshness spray, which I love in I think it's called Away Day or something like that. Another day, not Away Day. Another day. Yeah, another day. This is another top up of another day. It feels like a different packaging. Maybe they've just updated the bottle. It's the same product by the looks of things. Give clothes another day. Refresh clothes. Eliminate odor. 24-hour action. It's like dry shampoo for clothes is how they advertise it. I know it's for clothes, but I'm going to spritz these stems from Neptune that I've got. It smells so nice. Lavender eucalyptus. This is a perfect room spray to have or room spray fabric spray. Spray. Why can't I sleep today? um to have beside your bed because when you make your bed in the morning and you just finish off with a spritz of that, it just feels like it completes making the bed. And equally before going to bed, um when I take off all the cushions and everything, which I do as I go upstairs, if I have a pillow spray or something, I'll spritz it and then go into the bathroom, do my makeup, my skin care routine, brush my teeth, all of that, and then come back and the bedroom smells lovely. Just a little touch of something to help calm the mind before going to sleep. That's everything that I got from the shops. I need to put all these bits away now. I don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of the afternoon. I have got some tidying up to do in fact from yesterday. You know, sometimes when you go to bed, I wish I was that person that went to bed every night and I would clean the space before going upstairs, but quite often I look at it and I go, deal with that tomorrow. I forgot to show you as well. I got these. I won't put it on the table cuz I know new shoes on a table. bit of a superstition, but I got these suede loafers. I was quite um they had quite a lot of sale footwear in, but I wasn't that impressed with the I was looking for like suede boots, heeled boots. There was one pair that I thought was okay. I didn't fall in love with them, but also they didn't have my size anyway. But anyway, yeah, these were in the sale and I'm usually a 6 and 1/2, I would say. And the seven was too big. They only had two sizes left, a six and a seven. And I ended up going for the size six, but they're a really soft suede, so I thought these would be really nice to style if I'm wanting something a bit more slim fit that my Birkenstock suede ones. These were half price, £27. [Music] think that she'd be the one. [Music] Why did she go? I met her back in 2005. [Music] It was a crooked little smile that caught my eye. [Music] Time went by and it was her and I. She promised me to never leave my sight. But she left me here alone. I know it's dumb. I still check my phone cuz I can't move on. [Music] Why did she go? [Music] Was I supposed to know that she'd leave? Was I to think that she'd be [Music] >> Is this not the best part of the day? Sitting down with something cozy to watch on TV, light a candle, which I'll do so with you guys right now. We've got simmering spices from Homesense. So, now all I need to do is find something good to watch. Oh, did you hear that big bang outside? Do you know what I think that is? It's that windy and stormy and blustery outside today. That could have been potentially one of the bins flying over. So, I'll have to sort that out. It's a job for another day. Um, but yeah, I hope you guys have enjoyed spending the day with me and I hope you're all having a lovely start to autumn so far.
