hello and welcome back to my channel I
hope you guys are all doing well how is
everybody are we all excited for
September oh my goodness I am wearing a
brand new cozy top I got this from free
people recently I put in an order
actually I could show you the couple of
bits I ordered and I love this that much
that I've seen that they do a couple of
varieties in a couple of different
colors in fact I say a couple loads of
different colors this is in a small so
they are quite oversized already but
they're just the
perfect super soft cozy oversized throw
on kind of like light sweatshirts um
I've just got like a little ribbed just
from Primark kind of crop top on
underneath some leggings these are my
lul lemon Juke leggings on Amazon that
you can get for cheaper I'll leave these
linked below as well just some cozy
socks I've had a lovely start of the day
today we went for a nice long I was
going to say long walk it was actually a
run went for a run this this morning
Barney and I so I'm fresh out the shower
I've just washed my hair I still need to
style it but I thought I would get ready
with you guys this
morning and chat you through something
that I get quite a few questions about
and that is hold on let me just rejig
this camera situation so I can get comfy
that's the garden renovation so we
pretty much apart from the garden
kitchen so I will do like I'm sure once
that's done a full kind of garden renov
video but I thought for the time being
for any new viewers here or anyone that
wants a reminder of where we have come
from with our house and Garden Project
renovation then yeah I thought I would
check you through a couple of stages
bring you up to the speed with things of
where we're at and where we've come from
So
I myself and Tom um who is my boyfriend
we have been together 10 years
and uh just over now actually we met in
we don't have like an anniversary date
but we met in August yeah August very
end of August so officially 10 years can
you believe it I actually ordered as a
cute little photo book
to you know just have like a bit of a
I'm such a Sentimental person that I
love things like that keep sakes and
stuff so I'll show you that when that
arrives this is our first property
together I did move in with Tom
when we lived near Burnley way
um when did I move in with him I moved
in with him I think relatively quickly
we'd only been sort of with each other
maybe a year and a half and I moved in
with
him at that point and then we lived in
that house
until 2020
so lockdown period we were looking at
buying a house together and yeah the
market was booming so there was loads of
properties but it did mean that house
prices were quite high but we came
across this property which is an
Edwardian built in
1896 I believe so it's quite an old and
it's kind of like on the cusp of
Edwardian Victorian so quite a lot of
old traditional features the tall
ceilings that kind of thing within this
house um and we got lucky really because
this plot has a kind of wraparound
Garden so not only do we have the space
behind our house which allowed us to
extend the property but also kind of
goes around to the left so we were able
to keep a kind of nice grass area so
before we did anything um well before we
touched the garden we renovated the
house and the basement which was a huge
project in itself all in all took us a
couple of years and a lot of money so we
got lucky with this house in terms of
being able to afford it we didn't think
we'd be able to afford this house it was
one of the properties that was sort of
it was going to auction uh which meant
you had to complete within 28 days it
also meant that the guide price we were
expecting to go way above that which we
were only s of we stretched our limit at
the guide price so we knew in our minds
we thought we're not going to get it but
let's go let's see it just seems like
the perfect like the house itself with
the garden space knowing that we wanted
to get a little dog as well just seemed
the right fit but out of our budget the
other properties that we were going to
see were sort of I would say mostly
three beds semi detached this is or was
a five bed detached property with the
big garden and yeah so we thought it was
Out Of Reach for us we thought the
market would be far too
competitive as we were looking around we
have a fun little story cute little
story of the fact that I I've told this
before but loads of photos of labradors
on the wall and it was like an older
couple in the ' 80s that just kind of
outgrew this house with it being a town
house over four floors it was just a bit
too much for them so yeah loads of
photos of Labs on the walls and um Tom
sort of pointed out to me as we were
looking around I was like oh and um they
said oh you like dogs and I said well
we're looking to get our first retriever
when we we love goldens we're looking to
get our first retriever when we buy our
first property together and anyway we
got a call well that was actually the
time of my dad having the plane crash
and it was all a bit
turbulent Tom was going through
something with his brother and it family
drama was heightened at that time so
this house as much as it was a dream it
was kind of
like I I wasn't expecting to get it so I
wasn't getting hopes up or anything like
that and anyway it was when I was at my
parents after I just found out my dad
had had the plane crash that I we got an
email Tom and I got an email to say um
the auctioneer said uh is any you could
call us um we have some news after we'd
put in an offer which we thought would
just get rejected because like I said it
was an auction property very rarely do
these auction properties get offers
accepted before but well not very rarely
but especially as we were like at the
guide price so it's expected to go way
back but anyway we've got this email
today um any chance you could call us
we've spoken to the owners and something
to do with a Labrador comment they want
to consider your offer and we we were
like what so we called them up and they
said um on the phone they were like yeah
something to do with you didn't you
mention something about a um a dog or
something and and we were like yeah we
did actually we noticed that they had
photos of labradors everywhere and we
were saying we were looking to get a
golden retriever when we buy our first
property together yeah so the owners
have rejected hire offers uh they're
willing to pull it from auction they
don't need you to complete within the 28
days and they would like you to have it
is basically how the conversation went
Barney was practically written in the
agreement that was around
July time that we were having these
conversations and then you know with all
the paperworks lists blah blah blah we
ended up getting the keys early I think
it was the first week of October 2020 so
that's when we moved in then
we um found Barney in November and
picked him up January
2021 but yeah he was born that November
so we pretty much moved in and I was
like straight on looking for a dog by
that point we were obviously we'd been
living here for a couple of months we'd
been speaking with Architects Structural
Engineers plans on what we could do with
this property we were Keen to extend we
didn't know or what was viable obviously
with planning permission everything like
that there was a bit of waiting around
sorry I'm like on my knees now cuz I was
getting pins and needles in my feet we
ended up renovating it and we didn't
touch the garden until last so we this
is a really long winded explanation we'
done the house we'd extended into the
garden but beforehand it was just very
overgrown there was a lot of the garden
that was that overgrown that we couldn't
even see how about how far back the
boundary went and the fencing went we
basically got these landscapers into we
did a temporary thing whilst we were
living here and doing the house up just
to allow us to have space for Barney to
run around where we just basically
cleared load of stuff out and just put
some Turf down which was only very
temporary we knew that was going to get
pulled up we knew that it was going to
we were going to have drains fit and
everything like that so that was a very
temporary fix to last us for like a year
or whatever which it did but yeah it
needed doing by the time that we got
around to sorting out the garden we then
had the landscaper come in and kind of
divide the garden into two sections so
we had because of the levels we had a
grass area down the bottom with some
Sleepers for uh like a herb area some
flowers we had the fence panels replaced
around the entire perimeter of the
garden and then we also had the second
level a bit higher up with a graveled
area and what will be like a kind of
outdoor kitchen area so because of the
levels it meant we needed a couple of
steps down into the grass area so we
built like a kind of dwarf wall the
majority of our stuff that we have in
the garden that you can see is from home
scent for antiques faar the dining table
is from Oka the chairs are from John
Lewis I'll leave as much as I can leave
linked below we also have a little
beastro set a wooden beastro set which
is perfect for our like little morning
coffee or we have um lunch out there
sometimes that's from home sents the
corner section which we added in the
garden which I'm so glad we did that was
Tom's idea and I was like no we need
more grass area for the dog but I'm so
glad we did that kind of corner section
we now have the corner set over there
from Cox and Cox which is called I think
it's the cape Corner set we also have a
little cozy Nook area within the trees
which we have currently a fire pit not
in use just because we need to have the
gardener landscape some of the trees and
trim them up a bit and tidy them up
before we can even think about using a
fire or else it'll be a fire hazard uh
but a really cozy little fire section
which we have the fire was from Arthur
swallows Antiques faat and then the
chairs were from Rowan and ran love
those wooden chair we have also had some
lights fitted by the electrician which
he is yet to finish we're going to be
doing adding a few more and he just
needs to wait until the kitchen is
further along we did also buy a
projector which we've been loving for
kind of outdoor movie Nights if I've
missed anything off then of course by
all means let me know but yeah it is
quite a bit different from the before
I'm just going to finish with uh my hair
and makeup and finish getting ready for
the day and what we going to do today I
might have to treat myself soon as
though this is the 1st of September to a
PSL pumpkin SP L lat for those that
don't know the
lingo this is my favorite drink of the
entire year and you can only get it a
couple of months so yeah probably on to
my fourth or fifth by now but I don't
care if I limit myself to one a week one
or two a week I'm doing well might take
a little trip to home sense as well
because again this time of the year it's
my favorite time of year to go and
considering they put stuff out every
single day every single time I go in
even if it's just one or two things I've
been finding things that I love so yeah
we'll do that I also need to think about
getting out some Autumn Decor because I
want to decorate within the next few
days that I'll be my next video I have
some monthly favorites I want to share
with you I'll show you the Free People
bits actually I know I've not done my
hair yet but I'll just show you the bits
that I did get I'm going to keep all of
these but I am going to reorder some
more of their kind of like cozy jumpers
and stuff so this I'm on the fence
whether or not to do the reason why is
because Free People is quite expensive
so I just need to know that I'm going to
get my wear out of it and something like
this I kid you not every single day I
love it this is a jumpsuit so it's the
same kind of fabric same cozy Comfort
Vibes it's got the zip that goes like
halfway I love it when it's on it's
quite fitted on the legs fits me really
nicely around the waist I got it in
small am I going to get my wear out of
it maybe I also just got this basic tea
which is I love the color of this on me
this kind of blue I've been loving blues
and light pinks and kind of pastel
Shades I've been really enjoying I feel
like the blue kind of brings out the
blue in my eyes so this kind of like
Rodeo style look very American I mean I
remember free people from when I used to
live in America I didn't shop it when I
lived there because I don't think it was
well I was 15 so I don't know if it was
targeted at someone who was 15 but I do
remember it um these little shorts I
love these on but again they're so
expensive and now that we're coming out
of Summer these are something that I
ordered when it was hot and now I'm
thinking realistically how often I mean
in the summer I will wear them a lot
they're the perfect kind of lightweight
almost like a denim but a very very
light stretchy comfortable that this is
a sort of short that I would just throw
on for pottering around in the garden in
the house when it's really hot with just
a little crop top a little vest on
little basic white tea they are very
short so good for like tanning but I
don't know if I'd wear them out and
about and that's why I'm thinking God
it's a lot of money to wear a short
that's just for a house short I do love
them there are a couple of other things
that I've already put in the to go back
pil and firstly this jumper this one
obviously I watch it on free people but
like that blue te t-shirt it says
Daydreamer on it so I don't know if it's
maybe a different brand and it actually
isn't related to free people but there
is a free people tag on it though but
anyway this is like a completely
different fit to this so most of their
things are very oversized and I love
that but I got this one in a well and it
is actually quite small I do like this
but there's something about wearing
something that's got a cow on it that
I'm
thinking maybe not but I do yeah this is
in a small you see with three people on
it and it is that kind of oversized fit
those are the few bits I did get I'm
going to be strict of myself because
they're not cheap send back what I don't
think I'm going to get the wear out of
and invest in some more of the bits I
know I will get my wear out of
[Music]
I get questions all the time on this
necklace and where it's from I will
leave it linked do you know what it
reminds me of it's kind of like the
shape of it is like the little Louis
Vuitton isn't it it's not Louis bitton
also fragrance of the day this is a very
exciting day for me today because my
very what was I going to say my
alltime favorite fragrance ever ever
ever ever ever is this fragrance and as
you can see there's hardly any left so
treat myself to a new
one the only thing with this fragrance
despite it being my all-time favorite
and this might can be the reason why
it's my all-time favorite is I only wear
it September onwards for like Autumn
winter because it's a very well I'll
tell you the name of it and it'll tell
you why replica M Marella perfume in by
the fireplace it's a very Woody
fragrance description is burning wood
and chestnuts style description memory
and a fragrance and it is just as you
can tell well loved and this is the
first time time soon as I winner on
September I am spritzing
it and I might as well go all out cuz
it's hardly any coming out oh my God the
scent of it wow this is just always
going to be in my collection now forever
and ever and ever so yeah I only use it
September onward cuz it's not summery at
all but soon as September hits this bad
boy comes out that makes me very happy
it's the same kind of feeling I get when
I have that first sip of
pumpkin spice L like the official sign
that Autumn is here L excuse the bot and
stuff drying but before we head out I
have just had a knock at the door from
the Post lady we have a Post lady
now
um and I've got a little parcel I don't
think this is I think if it's what I
think it is something that I've actually
ordered it's not PR I don't
think yeah it's something I've ordered
so I was going to include this as a
monthly favorite so I'll just mention it
now this product was originally sent to
me as part of a PR package and I have
been loving it I've been all out so I've
decided to stock up on some more and it
is from the brand V glow they do this
collagen liquid Advance with Manuka
honey and vitamin C and mixberry flavor
I don't think they do any other flavors
I couldn't see any they quite often cuz
my friend Lydia has this as well and she
loves it but she has the powder forms
they do loads of different varieties
with the powder form but it's this
particular one that I got sent once um I
can't even remember cuz I don't think it
was direct from them that I got sent it
but anyway I have noticed my
skin my hair and my nails all thriving
and the only different thing that I can
think of apart
from let me just turn into this
apart from my skincare routine and
things like that that I've been
doing and the products I've been using
this is the only other different thing
that I've added into my routine and I
genuinely think it could
be a game Cher it's not cheap but like I
said I bought these both myself what I
did is if you go online they um on to VA
Glow's website I'll leave this exact one
linked below for you but if you click on
that and then it'll pop up with like a
welcome offer where you can get 10% off
your first order if you've never ordered
from V Glow's website before so use that
code that's what I did anyway and even
this might be TMI but the fact that I'm
noticing my nails were as long as they
could I had to cut them down cuz I
thought they just are too long like ugly
long so I had to cut them down and redo
them but they were thriving my nails
Never Last like that and also my hair in
terms of hair growth and hair strength
and everything like that to the point
where again TMI I noticed like thicker
leg hair which is not a pro but I feel
like it really is that different in
terms of it's affecting my whole hair
growth nail skin so yeah I think this
could be the answer if I'm not mistaken
box comes with all these saet and I just
have like one a day I've not even had
one every single day but as of when I
remember I think you can have up to a
couple of these a day yeah one to two
sachet per day but you only take one at
a time tear open consume directly from
the sachche so it's nice and simple
unlike the powder form that they do
where you have to like put it combine it
within um a protein shake or cereal or
whatever you want to do whereas this is
just
in get every little droper of
this can you see it working already
cling needs to go out now and we need to
get on the road we need to fill
ourselves up with a pumpkin spice LTE
and head to the shops for a lovely
little trip out
[Music]
together since we've been
together oh
God
you I read your
[Music]
letter look at your
PES oh God
yes you so
B it's been so
long I
know but I'm finally
coming
home till then I'm
dream
in your heart
it has just started
raining and we're all done at the shops
very successful at home since I did also
pop to the range which I didn't Vlog but
I did get some in store footage for like
an Instagram reel type thing which I've
just uploaded so that will already be
live but yeah very successful in home
sense as always so I'm going to head
home and share with you what I've got in
a sec but I'm just
blasting Serena's new album is anyone
listening to Serina Carpenter and loving
her like I am if you are watch your top
songs I think top three for me
are please please please
taste love the new taste and probably I
mean I like espresso but I think
I think dumb and poetic even Tom loves
that one when we were listening to it in
the car the other day he was like this
is her best song so that's his favorite
and I really like it I just oh I also
like lighter girls and with espresso
thrown in there that's top five let me
know what's your favorite it has gone so
dark since it started raining but I'm
not complaining going to bring the bags
through here and show you the bits I got
there's so many things
oh my goodness okay let's sit down oh in
fact still got a little bit of
my coffee left although there's not much
and also it's like lukewarm
now we've got our friend joining
us briefly some of these things not all
of them but there's like a bags worth I
think that I've already shown on my
Instagram I showed it like kind of early
when I first bought them so not
everything is from this home s trip
today I did get some bits
uh about a week or so ago I can't
remember now um but yeah let's just dive
in and show you the bits so firstly this
gorgeous n now I loved the fact that
it's like a
darker kind of
browny mushroom color because I've got
quite a lot of these kind of style vases
and NS and pots and stuff but in a
lighter color so it's nice to have that
depth from The Dark One these are $29.99
they had loads of different shapes and
colors of those in oh I've got to show
you this cute little pumpkin cushion how
adorable is he so again yeah this is one
that I've already shown um that some of
you might recognize already but $1
199.99 and oh it's just so cozy and
lovely I also picked up some cozy throws
I wanted some throws
for um
well she said while it's tipping it down
outside but to be able to have in a
basket by the back door for if we did
have like Outdoor Cinema night or if we
were hosting and summer evenings when it
gets a bit cooler to have a throw also
our sofa we've got a couple that are on
their last legs and need going really
especially having a dog his bed upstairs
has this exact throw on but in a
different color that I bought years ago
I bought
it hold on
sorry about that I thought there was
like an injured squirrel or cat or
something I think I seen one now on our
patio cuz they never come up on the
patio they always stay kind of around
the trees and stuff but never on the
patio so I just need to check it was all
right but as soon as I open the door it
ran off so it's it's obviously fine um
but yeah got this cozy thr to replace
the one that we've had on Barney's bed
which was originally for us in fact you
know what I want to keep this one for us
for a little bit and then when I want to
replace that one I'll pop this one in
his bed
because yeah that wasn't us throw that
turned into a dog throw so this will
probably end up being like that but it's
just too nice and too cozy and snuggly
to just give to him straight away he can
come up on the sofa on this is the kind
of throw that he can go on on the sofa
we just do that to help keep the sofa
actual sofa cushions nice uh but yeah
$24.99 for that one but then I also got
this one which is $19.99 and it's a
color block throw that it says it's got
these three colors on it but I think I
mean they're very subtle that's the
darkest one the one along the bottom
that's the middle one and that top bit
there the line is here is the different
V so it's very it's very neutral isn't
it let's face it $19.99 I'm loving the
faux fa far that coziness from that is
so so nice to have um and then last of
the throws that I got is this one that I
thought would look lovely as well so
it's not as cozy this one but obviously
it's a really nice looking throw that we
can throw over the arm of the sofa to
have again as an extra blanket to take
outside in the um warmer drier let's
just say drier drier days not warmer cuz
you don't want to throw in the warmth
but $1 19.99 that one it's got like
brown cream but it also has a green
thread running through it this step
stool this like mango wooden step stool
I want to have a clear out of our pantry
and I've got something coming from Zara
home which is I'll do a haul actually
because I've spent a lot of money last
night on Zara and Zara home so we'll
maybe do a little Zara haul soon but I
bought like a big bin hopefully it's the
right size and I don't need to return it
but I bought a big bin to go in that
pantry so I want everything out of there
so I will literally just have that bin
for Barney's food um rather than use it
as natural bin I'm going to use it for
his dog food with his scoop in and then
we've also got like an open shelf which
is also Zara home in there and then his
bowl which is Zar home and then that's
it any kind of like Hoover um part from
the r b Hoover that's going to have to
stay in there but like the Hoover that
we've got in there the um duster all of
the stuff that's I mean I'm not I
haven't I'll just show you I'll show you
let's just have a bit of reality on here
this is what I'm going to clear out I'll
show you it once I've done it like the
after but as you can tell for now you
just walk in and it's just this chaotic
mess which is bit of reality for you um
and it's not the reality that I want so
yeah I'm going to just get rid of all
any like the baskets the bags and just
find homes for everything so we've
literally just going to have this open
shelving unit which is from Zara home
the bin which matches it's like a cream
lacquer either in the corner or
something with his scoop in that dog
bowl which he's literally just been
distracted because of the squirrel but
he was having his his dinner um that is
Zara home as well and there is actually
in there I've got a new air fryer
because we love this Swan one so much
we're going to get rid of the Salter one
and have two matching um and we're going
to give this one to a family member so
that's going to go to another home and
we're going to have two matching I know
it seems a bit extreme there you go he's
back on it it seems a bit extreme to
have two double air fryers that dual air
fryers but honestly we use them
especially if we're hosting and if we're
doing like some kind of a roast type
dinner or we get them we use them more
than we use our oven little step store
to go in there as well so all the the
dark woods the cream lacquer that kind
of Zara home look is going to go in
there and it's going to all be styled up
nicely in there so I'll show you that
like I said once I get around to doing
that within a vlog and then a couple of
other bits again more for the decorating
Maple pumpkin little candle I like these
mini ones but especially if they're not
like my favorite scent this one's okay
but it's very sweet but if it's not
necessarily my favorite scent but more
for decor for like within the bookshelf
or um yeah styling on top of a coffee
table book or something these ones are
only
$4.49 and then I bought these for
Halloween I thought this year because we
have the driveway now done hopefully
we'll get some more trick-or ters we
never get that many around here so when
we do I think we maybe had about 5 to 10
last year the year before before that
and the year before that we didn't have
any I thought it'd be quite fun to do
little bags so I remember Halloween as a
kid being so good when we lived in
America in particular because everyone
was just so generous so as a kid the
more candy you got the better and more
successful Halloween trip also everyone
sort of decorated their porches where it
was a real like you had to walk down
someone's drive or whatever and things
would jump out at you and there would be
strobe lights and it was much more of a
thing thing in America so I thought if
we decorate our porch this year now that
we finished our driveway we might get
some more trickle treaters and it'd be
nice to do a full little party bag for
people um especially for like our
neighbors kids who knocked on last year
these were a fiver and I thought well
you get eight so we got 16 here and then
we'll just have a bag of treats for if
we get any other people that come but
for the first 16 people I'm going to do
a full little goodie bag so that should
be fun and then also so we got this
little star cushion more for Christmas I
won't go into too much detail but that
was $9.99 and I've got a frame now I
love the fact that they're doing these
frames with artwork included so that in
the interim period between you buying
some of your own artwork or getting a
photo printed you've actually got
artwork in itself that you don't need to
necessarily replace now I actually like
this one anyway so $9.99 these ones are
thought that was that bag done but it's
not it's got another item wrapped up
here this cute little glass with a
little pumpkin in the middle now these
are duping a brand I think selfer cell
what's the brand called I think it
begins with I it can't I think it's a
Scandinavian brand but anyway $5.99 this
one is they've got loads of different uh
little things in the middle all year
round not just seasonal things but of
course I'm a sucker for a seasonal item
so it was the seasonal one I went for
I'm not sure if this is going to work or
not I'm going to try out but I got this
Pantry sign it's a really rustic kind of
washed wood all year round potentially I
don't see this as being necessarily just
an Autumn Decor but it does kind of give
that like Farmhouse Vibe which you get
in Autumn but $7.99 this one was and
it's yeah it's just metal and wood and
I'm thinking let me kind of hold it up
and gauge an opinion from you guys as to
whether or not you think I should keep
it so this is where I'm
thinking above here yeah is that cute or
is that too much I feel like Tom is
going to say it's too much but this is
kind of me for my benefit looking back
as
well what do I think with that sign
there is it cute I really like it and
for $77.99 I think that's a pretty
pretty good find okay I saw this in the
kitchen section they had some different
ones with a little pumpkin on the end um
with more gold but I saw this one and
thought this was perfect it's a little
server platter for Autumn and it's got
the pumpkin illustration on here it
comes with a little wooden scoop that
you can pop in here for a like a little
dip bowl um I'm not really sure what I
could use that for though let me know
your thoughts what what can we actually
use this for a small baguette with some
oil and balsamic in here to dip in
something that you could dip into a dip
anyway let me know your thoughts and
suggestions on what I could actually use
that for but at $7.99 $6.99 sorry it was
too good to leave behind I also picked
up a
mug don't hate me I have rayun dupe mugs
for
Autumn and then I saw an actual rayun
one and I thought this was really cute
it does have a bit of a residue from a
label so I need to just rinse that off
but that's fine but then on the inside
it's got a pumpkin illustration so I
love this and it's huge as well so a
nice do you know who I think would like
this my mom and dad they have Mom if
you're watching get yourself to TK Max
or home sense they've got a load of
different rayen mugs with loads of
different things and I can't remember
what they are but like Mom
Dad Mom help me out what else do you
have you've got a load of mugs like this
but we could have like a little seasonal
one that was $5.99 so I'm going to
donate the rayan look likes that I've
got I've got a couple I wanted to get
this one the straight
slicer I've seen on Tik Tok I'm sucker
for a Tik Tok recipe but lots of like
sliced cucumbers salads and I just
thought we don't really have a slice
like that I'm doing really thin slices
but with a knife so it' be easy to
easier to do it with that and this was
$12.99 for the set but then they had
individual just the slices in TK Max I
think they're about £8 so I just thought
for 12 I'll well 129 now for 12 I'll
just get the full kit where we can do
some garlic in here some onions there's
like dicing ones large small I also got
this cushion this isn't seasonal at all
but I just loved the quality of it so
it's kind of like a bolster cushion but
with a bit of an Oxford edging um and
it's similar to I'm going to try it on
the spare boat because it's similar to
the bed spread that I've got on there
which was the white company Jupe they
quite often do bed spreads like this
kind of pattern and design and and yeah
I'll see if this is a close match to or
if it looks
in like kind of matching with that bed
spread that I've got on the spare
bedroom okay I also got these these
someone had dumped so I grabbed them I
would have probably got three but I
couldn't find another one and because
they were just dumped in a random
section yeah it's just two is all I've
got but they are these little faux
hydranges in this really nice burnt rust
color which I'm thinking of using for
Autumn Decor they were $2.99 I also got
this book now I went in the other day
and saw this and left it and then I
thought I'll get it on Amazon it looks
lovely I'm sure Amazon will do it
cheaper cuz they usually do um but I
went on Amazon and they're actually not
cheaper so I went when I went back and I
saw that they had one left grabbed it
got this cute little wooden frame how
adorable is this they had again loads of
these but I just picked up the one it's
a real rustic wooden frame only $4.9 999
maybe a little Polaroid I want to buy a
bowl have you seen that trend of people
buying a little bowl to have like on a
coffee table and filling it with
Polaroids black and white ones little
Polaroid could look cute in there and
then last but not least from home sense
I got this pack of tea tows so it's a
set of three and for once finally I
actually like all three cuz with the
auty ones that they have it's always
like the first one that's lovely and
then the rest are like a plane which is
fine but a PL in a color that I don't
really like whereas this one I love so
you've got the auty print first one
which is cream and green with these
little are they Acorn leaves and then
you've got the second one is the same
color but in a striped version so again
you can use that all year round which is
great and then the third and final one
is that same color but just plain so
yeah love all three of those $6.99 so
that's everything that I got from home
sents I will leave the getting out the
Autumn decor decoration bits until my
next video because I want to obviously
do a full decorate with me and I am
going to do it in stages this year so
I'm going to do a decorate with me which
I'm going to film tomorrow maybe the
next day for my next video and that is
going to be a kind of September decorate
and then I'm going to do an October
decorate with more pumpkins and then
like a Halloween dec but that they these
will just be within Vlogs like today's
video um and then I'm going to do a
Halloween one in the buildup to
Halloween like week or two before so
yeah we're going to have a stages of
decoration so keep up with the Vlogs for
more decorating but for
now I wanted
to uh show you just a couple of oh I
near spill my coffee there a couple of
monthly favorites that I had saved um
firstly obviously I don't put these away
from earlier but the V glow then whilst
I'm in the kitchen I actually had a
couple of foodie favorites this year
this year this month I had to go out and
buy some more just so that I could show
you them but Kit Kat these are so good
if you're a Kit Kat lover anyway they
now do double chocolate been having a
lot of popcorn nights and Cinema Nights
movie nights and we usually just like
the butter kist Cinema Suite but for me
I've also discovered this one that
butter do caramelized biscuit flavor so
yum I got this one from the co-op I
don't know where else you can find them
but I know that this is also something
that I found at the co-op which which
I've been enjoying I've only had one bag
of so far when we had some people over
the other day this what I opened and
they were delicious but again from Co-op
and these ones actually say exclusively
from Co-op they're the Wesley Dale and
cranberry flavored trell's
crisps Wednesday D and cranberry it just
takes me to Christmas it's my favorite
cheese on a cheese board oh I did get
these I'm not going to include them
within a favorites per se but we tried
these Tom and I were curious at these
new flavors that Walkers do they do a
cheese toasty with beans you get the
beans I don't know if I get cheese
toasty with that sausage s it's these
are actually nicer these
are like a kind
of I guess pork flavored crisp but it's
the ketchup that you mainly get coming
through so if you remember those like
Tangy Toms or tomato flavored crisps
they taste like them already demolished
a whole pack of these but
digestives gold
I love digestive biscuits anyway but the
gold ones if you like gold chocolate
bars so yum I know they do the white
chocolate the white chocolate I was a
little underwhelmed with but these ones
yeah these ones are quite nice anyway
let me take you upstairs cuz I did like
I said I have just a
couple of beauty bits that I wanted to
share with you I do
actually one of them I've already
finished and run out of I wrote a note
of it as soon as I'd been trying out but
I've used all up let me see if I've got
a spare one in my beauty section but
it's from neon and it's their body wash
that uh let me see if they' oh I do have
a spare okay cuz they sent it to me in a
PR so obviously been sent a second one
but this one real luxury cocooning
shower cream is so was it this one
lavender geranium and Cedarwood I don't
think it was that one actually I think
it's this one yeah super shower power
spearm mint Rosemary and Eucalyptus it's
that one I'll leave it linked cuz I like
I said I don't have it to show you but
it
smells so fresh
and it's the like spearmint and
everything it leaves your skin feeling
almost tingling do you know like the
mint um body wash that you used to use
and everyone used to say like wow you
feel it it's uh yeah it's almost makes
your skin cold that's what this does and
it is just so nice I've had it when I've
gone for a run and I've used it
afterwards and it just cools down my
whole body and it's lovely this I've
tried and it's really good it's from
L'Oreal and it's called brow lamination
and it really helps your brows sort of
look laminated if you want them to sort
of be glued up this is a great product
better than the got to be yellow one
which I'm going through at the moment to
kind of get rid of but this is my new
favorite brow brow gel I've also loved
using the where is it the Bobby Brown
weightless skin Foundation an SPF 15
that's been a New Foundation that I've
been loving I've not got any one today
just cuz I went with BB cream today the
Clarens one but yeah if I'm wanting a
bit more coverage slight more coverage
that Bobby Brown one is lovely also this
lip glaze the it's called 2,000 calorie
lip glaze this is the color that I like
the silk sheets it's like a nice
neutral
uh kind of glossy just a really nice
formula take you through to my bedroom
cuz I've got one other thing in here
Beauty wise I wanted to show you and
it's from Joe Malone now this is a bit
of a wild card for me in terms of
fragrance because I typically like the
real
udie uh one that I showed you earlier
the where is it by the fireplace kind of
like warm
scent and this like not floral basically
but I've been using the orange marmalade
one and layering it with which seems
like an unusual layer but I just think
it works really nicely where is it here
we go
velvet Rosen oud so this
alone I don't want to I just pop some
on is verging on two floral for me it's
just verging but it's okay it's the rose
if it's two rows then it's not for me
but putting this kind of fruity orange
marmalade with it
and they are known Jone for it's so good
for fragrance layering so if you've got
like a Pomegranate Noir I feel like that
would work really well with that one
just something fruity to bring away from
that Rose um just makes a really deep
feminine but deep scent rather than too
like girly and floral so yeah I've been
loving doing that layer however like I
said now that I am into
September by the fireplace is my it's my
go-to not made the bed today which is
very unlike me but it was just one of
those rush out the door go for a run get
back and I'll do it then and I haven't
done it and I just feel like when you're
already middle of the afternoon making
your
bed n uh very unlike me though I think I
don't make my bed maybe once every 3
weeks no maybe even once a month it's
just so part of my routine so it feels a
bit
I'm I'm annoyed that it's not made oh
anyway um take the opportunity to just
lie down for a second I also wanted to
talk some TV favorites that I've been
loving let me know any suggestions as
well from you guys cuz I love hearing
your suggestions but we obviously
watched supercell that was more of a
July favorite cuz that was when we were
on holiday but then we got back and we
downloaded Apple TV purely to watch
Presumed Innocent now we had a bit of a
trial so I thought yeah we get the trial
get the free trial period to watch this
Presumed Innocent that everyone's
talking about and it was worth
downloading for that but because we got
Apple TV then I was having a look at
some of the other um things that were on
there and we watched we actually binged
it Silo I loved Silo it's sci-fi but in
a kind of believable way rather than
aliens and
well not that aliens aren't believable
that's a whole other question do we
believe in aliens does life exist it's
got to right life has got to Exist
Elsewhere but anyway that's a whole
different topic there's no aliens in it
well as far as I'm aware but Silo is
really really good and we binged the
first S Series the only dilemma is
there's no second series just yet the
second one is coming out in November so
if you haven't already watched Silo s i
l o well worth a watch yeah that is all
my kind of monthly favorites that's um
going to close off today's Vlog actually
here because I feel like it's ended up
being a quite long one so I will get out
the Autumn Decor start doing that
tomorrow so stay tuned for my next video
for all of that and yeah I hope you have
a lovely rest of your day whatever it is
that you're doing sending my love and I
hope to see you all very very soon in my
next video bye
guys o
