My Birthday Week 🎂🍸🎉- Monday Vlog

it's for y'all i've got another mug so i have shown you this one i think in my fashion video i forgot that i've ordered another one and this one says happy for y'all you all know the story so i originally got this mug from one of my subscribers but as you can see paul's been putting it in a dishwasher and all the writings come away so i've been obsessed with finding y'all mug and i thought i bought this one on etsy but i don't think now this one was from etsy because this one i think came from etsy i know this one came from canada i think or this one i i'm not sure but you can definitely find them here in the uk if you look um i didn't know i've ordered two but i did anyway it's my birthday week yes it's this time of the year again scorpio season and i've just received something amazing and it's so nice because it's my birthday so i got a couple of bags from teddy blake they come always in this lovely box and i am so happy so let me show them to you so you know i bought these lovely orange shoes in the summer they were really inexpensive from from h&m but i didn't have orange handbag and now i have one i will leave you the links to those i think i have a discount code as well look how gorgeous this one is so teddy blake new york and these bags are designed and made in italy i think they are leather bags they are so gorgeous they are up there with all the designer bags when it comes to craftsmanship and they have even leather inside now this one is quite small and a bit um i would say difficult to put things in but i've just noticed that you can undo this on the sides and that makes it much bigger so obviously comes with a strap as well what's in here is that a lock it's probably a lock because most of the bags come with a lock i can't remember now the names of these bags but i will put them in a description box because they do quite a few um few different designs oh yes you have a lock so um but what would you lock how would you lock it i'm not sure how you would lock it because it doesn't have a lock on a zip where is the actual key the key will be here yeah you've got a key and lock you probably would have winded wrap around both of these but i probably wouldn't use it but you could just wrap it around one of those because it looks nice you so anyway so this is my orange one you've got the teddy blake on here i don't know if that color is true to life in there in a camera it's very vibrant orange anyway and then they always come in their own dust bags sorry about my washing machine going but we used to this on monday someway um and this is the other one that i got so it's pink one and i don't have like a dark pink color i have pale pink handbag and i have like a mid pink but look at this one it comes it comes across a bit red but it's it's almost like a i would actually call it cranberry so it is it's got a bit of a fuchsia pink in it but i can see like cranberry in it oh i don't like it how it comes across on this camera it sort of comes across red but it is not red so i thought this one would be lovely for winter i like in winter if i'm wearing mostly black i like to add like a pop of color with the handbag i've got a bright red handbag that i often wear and this one i think this um shape and this model is probably my favorite simply for the ease of getting into it you just open that and it's quite big when it opens up so again you get a strap you get free paper look how gorgeous that is inside so this one is really easy to get into and you have three holes here so depending how full your bag is you know you can um adjust this so yeah this one is gorgeous so oh my god i hope this color is really not coming across anyway thank you so much to teddy blake for this what a wonderful birthday present right i was so annoyed about this color not coming across i put my big camera on and let's see i can't really tell when i look in a viewfinder if it comes across true to life is it pink to you it's a dark pink it's not red on my screen it looks pink that looks right so i don't know i really want this color to come across i don't know if it's just this particular color that is not very good for the camera to pick up let's see the orange you see the orange comes up perfectly that's exactly the color it is so i don't know i just don't want it to be red because it's not red in any way whatsoever okay i'm filming this with my phone now it's still not the color that it is you just have to trust me say dark pink cranberry color cool tone of pink this is still not exactly what it is sorry i can't do anything else about it right back to my vlogging camera so yes it's my birthday week so paul is taking me on my birthdays to penny hill park for an afternoon tea and um you might not notice but i am absolutely not that bothered about birthdays um i don't know if it's something to do with the way i've been brought up because in poland in eastern europe you know in communism we didn't celebrate birthdays we would celebrate 18th because that's when you become an adult and then you do things like 50 and 80 i think we have name days which is too long to go into it um my name day is on the 21st of january uh so yes we we've never had this type of kids birthday parties you know and maybe you celebrate when your child turns one i wouldn't know because i didn't have children when i was in poland so i wouldn't know anyway um and you know paul always asks me what do you want for your birthday and i'm like i don't really need anything um when i see something throughout the year i just buy that and i don't have like a wish list there isn't anything that i need you know we want plenty but most of us if we're honest with ourselves we don't need anything wanted to tell you something so you know i was uh in two minds about becoming the member of beauty pie and i eventually did now i know a lot of youtubers by beauty pie i am not affiliated with them i don't want you to go and buy it or do what i'm doing i was just very intrigued and remember i bought that um i took advantage of that 60 day pre-membership where you can buy for the membership prices and i love this stuff i included it in my last skincare video so i thought yes i do it uh bottom line is i love the product so much so i haven't had botox in eight months now so it's all gone and i haven't had any fillers for three years and i don't think i will have fillers again and i'm thinking i might not even have the botox the only thing that makes me want to have it done again is when i have it in my crossfit because i only have it in my crossfit and here because that lifts my hooded eyes a bit so i'm not sure but i'm not in a rush for it so and i'm happy with the way especially my um eye area looks you know i'm obsessed with my eye area because if you've been with me from the beginning i used to have terrible bags i mean there could have been a lot of factors contributing to it i was a bit overweight so i feel i was puffy also i'm talking 10 years ago i wasn't into skincare at all i just put any old moisturizer on and that was it uh so i became serious about skincare four five years ago i would say quite late anyway so i've repurchased some things from beauty pie and also i want to try some new things so i've repurchased things like this the niacinamide drops and the eye retinol cream uh but i've bought the super retinol high dose intensive booster treatment so i have the super retinol night cream which i've been using every night but this is stronger so you're supposed to use it for a month and i think then you stop for a couple of months and then use it again because it's much stronger i got this pure three percent resveratrol little they are so cute micro sponge little pockets i love these so they look like this and you just twist it and squeeze whatever whatever you see now it's nice it's like popping a pimple and you just get the right dose i usually i think use too much of my skincare smells gorgeous smells of berries it's all natural fruit oils and the feel of it is like velvet on your skin i don't know but i am really enjoying this and i bought three more eye products because i am so obsessed with my under eye area so i think i have now all of the eye products i have the retinol cream which i use now at night with triple hyaluronic acid cream i sort of mix them and then in the morning i use the pure ceramide so it's like a concentrate i didn't know it's got these you know massage balls and you wouldn't work till i read on a box that to start it off you have to turn it around at least 20 times for it to start coming out and i put that on first and then i put the obios cream so i i just throw everything at my eyes i also got um body scrub which i love i used it this morning and the body cream and i thought i'd try the candles because people rave about the candles uh it's just a one candle this is a by the meal they supposed to burn for something like 60 hours i think um i've burned it one day already and i had it for quite a few hours and i would say that it went down just centimeter it smells gorgeous so the the positives it smells gorgeous very expensive like if you went into an expensive store burns really evenly because that's what was worrying me usually the one wick candles sort of just burn a hole in the middle and the sides stay up this one burns really evenly they are made in france um i think this is 20 pounds which i can buy bath and body works candle which is bigger with three wicks for 25 here on ebay they probably don't burn as long as these ones but i don't feel like the smell is as strong as the bath and body works i think nothing beats bath and body works if i burn one of those my whole house i can smell it coming downstairs this one i would say is good if you have it in one enclosed room small room like downstairs i have most of it is just like open plants so it's a big area then my living room i have stairs going upstairs from there so it's open as well so i didn't feel like i could really really smell it but i think if you have it in a smaller enclosed room you will so it's small so i don't think i will buy them again even though they are beautiful like not right now i've been burning the pumpkin pump pancake no cupcake pumpkin cupcake that is hard to say pumpkin cupcake and that just fills my my room so much i can smell it everywhere it's gorgeous and i like those quite sweet cakey um candles maybe because i only really burn candles in a winter in the autumn winter and these are the smells that you want like the comforting smells because in the summer it's so warm we usually have the doors open so you can smell the candle right my lovelies i better go carry on with my laundry as usual i see you later okay conca tree lesson so when i was reading your last monday comments i was amazed so many of you asked me what is a conca tree what is a conca and i was like how can you not know what conca is i was brought up with them but i suppose they are they are native to south eastern europe but they are grown all over the world so conkers come from horse chestnut trees so this is a picture of a horse chestnut tree they are beautiful have gorgeous leaves and beautiful flowers and they can grow up to 100 feet they can be enormous so let me read it to you so the horse chestnut tree produces prickly fruit capsules i will insert a picture here they like this spiky little i don't know capsules um and when they ripe they fall to the ground and inside them are those glossy nut like seeds and they are quite big i've got one here this one is this is probably like an average size but some of them are really big and when you first pick them up they are really lovely lighter brown and glossy but when they in a house they dry up a bit and get a bit wrinkly and we as kids used to play conker games so they don't know what the conker name comes from they think it might be from the sound that it makes like conk when you hit them together so as kids you drill a hole through the conker have a big string and you play this game actually there are conker championships all over the world as well still to this day um and you hit each other's conkers imagine if we gave that to our kids these days they would be like what is that give me a phone yes so these are conkers and um rumor has it that they deter spiders apparently it's not scientifically proved but it's been working for me in fact i haven't had even haven't seen even one spider yet so and that's the time of the year when they start coming in so i believe in them so you see you learn something every day so this was short lesson on horse chestnut tree and conkers see you later hello my lovelies so it's my birthday today and um like i've told you paul is taking me to penny hill park for an afternoon tea uh but i wanted to so i will show you what i'm wearing it was so difficult because the weather is honestly it's not summer it's not spring it's not autumn it's not winter it's like all in between but it's quite warm wanted to show you something i should wanted to show you one of my birthday presents so you know i said i don't want anything i don't need anything but paul was insistent you know i cannot get you nothing so i got the natasha denona my dream palette the lipstick lip liner and lip gloss from her collection the only thing i didn't want was the uh blush and highlighter i hardly ever use highlighters and i've got millions of blushes all right i've got millions of palettes but i've had an eye on this palette for a while but i thought i will wait till black friday sales and get it but as paul offered there is my present it's gorgeous palette and um i'm sure i will do video with few looks all right my lovelies i better show you what i'm wearing this is what i am wearing so this top is very very old at least five years old i actually have two of those it's from coast it's really lovely feminine and it doesn't crease the trousers are from zara that i bought this summer the same with the shoes and i've got this belt you remember i bought a few suede belts and this one sort of matches these trousers really well by the way these trousers had horrible black button but look i changed it into a gold one i didn't like the black one uh for my jewelry uh this is from my summer london so is this this is my scorpio sign that's why i'm wearing it today and this one is from qvc about ages ago it's not available anymore now i don't know if to wear this belt or gold belt and then i also show you something over my shoulders i have two choices and bags so this is the gold belt it's a stretchy belt from zara as well i quite like this one i might actually wear this one and now for outerwear i can wear this fluffy shrug but i might be too hot because it's actually really warm today so it's that or this long thin cardigan i actually bought it in spain um it's not too thick and i quite like i think it looks more elegant with something long now for a bag i was thinking to have the new teddy blake bag the pink one but it is completely different pink uh like i said it's more raspberry so and then i thought it'd be too pink so i thought i could carry this beige teddy blake bag or oh my gucci bag maybe the gucci bag because it's a bit more embellished oh i don't know decisions decisions anyway that's what i'm wearing and this is what paul looks like i think is that camera let's go a bit back let's say that's better yay so we are in here look at this lovely corridor it's gorgeous no they know no beautiful building wow oh look that's where you can go let's have a look outside yeah it is gorgeous outside area you can come and sit and have a drink and as it is such a lovely day we might just do that later i'll do that then it's gorgeous look at it yeah so you can get married here you see that pergola beautiful oh there are some chairs there gorgeous so this is where i'm going to be having my afternoon tea i'll show you this pub it people are actually lying down by the swimming pool in november well almost november so we are just having a drink
