Hello guys. Welcome back to my channel.
Welcome back to a brand new vlog, a
brand new video. I hope you're all doing
really, really well. I just feel so
inspired and ready to get back in the
swing of things with filming a bit more
regularly. And yeah, I don't know. I'm
just in a really good mood picking up
the camera this morning. It's also been
my birthday, so thank you for all of
your lovely birthday messages that
people have sent over on Instagram. I
wanted to start today's vlog with a bit
of an unboxing try- on haul that I've
actually got from Halara. Now, I know I
work with Halara on a regular basis, but
I'm also a paying shopping customer
myself and have been in the past. I
wanted to share with you firstly a
discount code, which again, they're
always so generous with providing that.
So, I will leave it linked on screen and
in the description box if you want to
refer back to it. I'll also leave a link
to the website and to the items that I
show you within today's little segment
here on this in this video. I am very
much of the mindset of new year wardrobe
refresh
oneout policy. Have a bit of a clear out
that kind of mentality right now. So
I've actually stocked up on a couple of
my all-time favorites along with a
couple of newbies to add to my wardrobe.
So, I'll start with my favorites because
these are the things which lured me into
Halara in the first place. And that is
often their kind of active wear. That
was before I discovered their jeans,
which is a whole other like phenomenon
that I've discovered over the last year
or two now. And I'm just obsessed with
their jeans for comfort. The comfiest
pair of jeans you will ever own.
[clears throat] So, speaking of, I did
pick up two more pairs of jeans. I went
for a classic dark wash denim and then
one that I've not really got and that's
more of like a gray black wash denim.
So, these are I think these are in the
same style though. Um, and they're just
a simple straight leg high-waisted
jean. Very basic to look at, but I
cannot emphasize how comfortable these
are. The comfort is on another level.
When I try them on, you'll see they look
like jeans, but they're actually like a
really stretchy kind of
legging material, but obviously because
they've got these ones anyway, they've
got different styles on their website.
This these ones have the proper like
hardware, zip, button, belt loop holes,
everything about them, pockets, feels
like a jean, [clears throat]
but wearing them, it's a different
story. So, so comfortable. And because
they are that stretchy fabric for anyone
that is smaller waisted or bigger hipped
bum thigh area a bit like I am a bit
more curvy. Um it means that if you go
for a high-waisted pair from Halara then
they don't gape because they you know if
you just stay true to size as well
there's no need to size up or down. Um I
get these in a medium both of them and
regular length. Again, a lot of their
trousers, leggings options, they have
different leg length options for if
you're more petite or on the taller
side. They also have uh more of like a
plus size option. They have loads of
different colors often in each
individual item and also fabric types.
One of my favorite fabric types is the
pat it off fabric that they use that
technology which allows you to pat it
off in terms of like dog hair, pet hair,
or little bits of fuzz and fluff. and
also softly zero material that they have
developed is like a buttery soft second
skin kind of feel. So although they do
have some more supportive leggings, they
also have the buttery soft ones. So I've
got a selection of their leggings as
well again to stockpile my wardrobe and
have a clear out. So, this is that sort
of classic buttery soft and this
particular style has a double kind of
like crossover waistband. So, I really
like those. They're very flattering with
like a little sports bra for like a
little Pilates class. This is in the 7/8
length as well. So, that they're not
cropped, but they're just like they sit
nicely on your ankle. So, I got a black
pair along with um this, which I would
say is like their classic simple
everyday style. There's no added details
or anything. And it's a straight band
like that. No pockets or anything on
these ones. And these are more like the
dayto-day that I would wear these. The
ones with the pockets I tend to go for
for actual workouts or like playing
golf. I'll often use them or running so
that you can put your phone in the
pocket or your golf glove or whatever.
Whereas this is more like I would wear
this with like a nice cozy jumper, cozy
socks, boots, UGG boots, throw on a
jacket, and that's like more of an
everyday um kind of pair of legging. And
also, yeah, again, comes in so many
different colors. And I decided to pick
up a chocolate brown. So, love that. Uh
what else have we got here? This is a
prime example of the crossover
waistband.
Minimal branding on the back. And this
is the uh like I said the example with a
pocket on the side which fits my phone
in which is an iPhone 17 Pro Max. So
it's the bigger one and it fits
comfortably in there. So just for
reference if you wanted to if you're
wondering I also went for another pair
of that these leggings because again
this is kind of like more of a
need a sort out and clear out of my gym
drawer. So that will replace any old
pairs of leggings that I I pass their
best. Um, and then I also decided to get
that exact same style, the crossover
band, the pockets, but in the chocolate
brown as well. They do also have this
brown, which I picked up. I don't know
if it is the best color for me
personally. I think I prefer the darker
chocolate brown, but if you do like a
lighter brown, this one is I'd say more
of like an autumn palette. You know,
when I talk about like my colors, having
had them done, this is more my friend
who's more of an autumn palette, she
would go for something like this. But I
think she told me, the girl who did our
colors, that it doesn't it's more so if
it's around your face that the colors
have more of an impact. So, leggings are
obviously absolutely fine. I mean,
anyone can wear whatever color they
want. However, of the two, I can really
tell now the difference between this
brown,
a more cool toned darker brown versus
this warmer brown. I'm better off with
these ones. So, anyway, got them. And
then also another pair of leggings that
I wanted to try were these, which are a
bit more of like a supportive, thicker
waistband. If you like my personal
preference is the buttery soft, the
softly zero, feel like you're not
wearing anything kind of fabric.
However, if you do prefer something a
bit thicker, more supportive, kind of
like sucky in, then they also have
options like that. And this one has a
really nice little crossover detail on
the back. It also comes with the pockets
on the side. But yeah, this waistband,
it's like a lot thicker and stiffer than
the buttery soft ones. I've already worn
this one, so there's actually a little
mark on it, and I need to pop it in the
wash, but just a little basic um sports
top. I wear these all the time. So,
again, I wanted to get a fresh new white
one to add to my gym drawer. And then I
ordered this black one. I pretty much
order everything in a medium. However,
this one I think is a large. Yeah, it is
a large because it felt a bit too big
for me when I tried it on. So, I would
say I'm probably better suited to a
medium. I mean, I wear a large, but it's
just not quite as supportive. I would
say given that it is more of a sports
bra top, I'm probably more likely to
wear this lower impact. So every day as
a base layer, running errands or a
Pilates class or something like that,
yoga ra as opposed to like going for a
run. So I've got that. And then I also
have seen they've brought out a new
range of like more slinkier
fabric. And I actually think they do
them in underwear like underwear too
like a thong and a brief. I just went
for the bra because again you could wear
this as like a sports bra because it is
that same fabric. It's like but it's
kind of like a slinky
quite thin material but because it kind
of acts like a bra but in that material
you could wear it as a bra but you could
also wear as a sports top. And then I
went for a long sleeve quarter zip. I
love these again for layering
predominantly for golfing as well. I
think white is a really nice color to
wear on the golf course. I will quite
often wear a top like this with some
leggings. I know it's a bit
controversial whether or not you can
play in leggings on the golf course, but
our course seems okay with that. I think
it just depends course to course, but um
these also have the nice long sleeves
with the little cutout for your thumb.
So like a little thumb hole. So again,
keeps you nice and warm and toasty.
Little quarter zip. I think they have
them in like a longer length as well.
very similar. They're kind of like
jacket style zipper jackets. And then I
got a couple of base layers in both
white and black. I'll show you the white
one on camera cuz it's probably easier
to see it. But it's just a kind of like
turtleneck
in a ribbed fabric. Very soft, very
comfortable. A perfect base there. These
are not like given this one's white,
it's not sheer, but it is a slightly
thinner fabric I would say. So obviously
you you can just wear a new bra and it'd
be fine. Perfect again for wintry months
if you've got like little ski trip
booked or a trip to um some like cold
destination Iceland, Finland, wherever
um for some a little winter getaway then
these base layers are perfect or again
golfing, hiking, dog walks, base layers
like that. So so nice. Um and just a
good staple to have. So, I ordered this
uh like long cardigan. It's too big for
me, though, so I'm going to have to
return it for a smaller size. I went I
think I sized up to a large. Let me see.
Yeah, it's a large. So, I definitely
don't think you need to size up for a
nice comfortable fit on this one. You
can just stay true to size. But they do
these really long cardigans. And it's
the fabric is so like weighty and
gorgeous, gorgeous fabric. Nice and
soft. Um quite thick. It feels like so
much more like high-end. I always think
their fabrics that they use. Then this
is something that I have owned
previously and I got a pull. I think it
was if I remember one of Barley's claws
caught it and it was probably like over
a year ago now. But um yeah, I had to I
just had to get rid of it unfortunately.
So I liked it that much I decided to
pick out another one. And I think they
do them in different colors as well. But
I just know that I really liked this
color. So, I thought I would just
repurchase this one. It's essentially a
roll neck jumper. Again, really nice
soft fabric. It's got like a kind of
like diamond cut pointed front and back.
And then I got they actually added these
two and I didn't I don't think I picked
them out, but I have to admit I love
both of them. This jacket firstly is
it's kind of like a jewel layered jacket
where you've got a base layer that goes
a little bit longer kind of like a zip
black workout top but then it comes with
like a cropped puffer um over the top of
it as well. So this Oh, you can detach
it. It has got the little buttons so
that you've got um two tops in one
essentially with this one. Um I'm just
seeing what size did they send it to me.
Large. I would say a large fits me fine.
Feels lovely. So really happy with that.
And then also secondly, another jacket
that they sent over is this one, which I
love wearing this color as you can tell.
This kind of like khaki green. And this
one is a like nice padded coat with like
a quilted lining. Perfect for again like
dog walks. It's a nice length as well
for leggings and boots. And it has
zippers and poppers and a collar. And
otherwise, just a plain simple khaki
jacket. Thank you to Hilara for sending
over some new bits for me to have a bit
of a switch out of any old leggings and
things I've bought over the years that
need to be replaced. We've got a good
stock up of some fresh new leggings,
couple of jeans, couple of new jackets
that I've discovered, and tops as well.
But yeah, I would say my workout drawer
is the one that definitely needs the
most
oneinone out policy. Get rid of the old,
especially workout clothes like golfing,
running. They just get a bit tatty,
don't they, over the years. So, I like
to replenish them every once in a while,
and I feel like I've done that with that
haul. So, thanks to Hilara for kindly
working with me on this section of
today's video. Just a reminder, I will
leave a link well links to these items
in the description box below along with
um my discount code for you to use.
We'll leave it on screen and in the
description box if you need to refer
back to it. Um but yeah, on to the rest
of today's video.
I'm up for an early
birthday morning walk and let me zoom in
so you can see the moon that I'm seeing.
Wow, that is one full moon.
Look at that. It's really frosty on the
ground. So, where's Barney? Oh, you can
see here. It's so frosty. And this is
the other view. We got full moon on one
side, the sunrise on the other. This is
just a quick morning walk just to let
him do his business because we're going
to go golfing this morning. Just nine
holes. And then we are going to go to
the cinema this evening or later on this
afternoon. As you can tell, I'm all
wrapped up. I wasn't even going to put
the camera on me cuz I thought you
wouldn't be able to see me, but you
could just about see me. But yes, it is
the 4th of January. It's my birthday and
10:34
30 again. Another 30th birthday. Feel
like I'm just stopping counting now. And
we're spending the day together as a
little fam, aren't we? Aren't we,
Barney? me, you and dad.
Oh, but it is chilly. It always seems to
be really cold on my birthday, but I'm
not complaining. I'm I'm a winter baby.
I just love it. I love the cold. I love
the winter, the snow. So, yeah, a lovely
little chilled, no pun intended, day
planned today for my birthday.
Look at this for a frosty morning,
Barney.
A frosty morning on the golf course.
It's cold. It's minus 5°
and we're out. And look at this head
cover that I got for Tom for Christmas.
How funny. It's a golden retriever.
Do you know what I think is the most
most realistic? This bit. The mouth.
Like look. This is what we do to Bonnie.
Bonnie, come here, bud.
I'm not playing today. I'm just ear
muff, scarf, big coat, waterproof shoes
on, and I've come for a nice walk.
Little family walk. I love a frosty
morning. Although, I did think about it.
And I did think I probably am I probably
will play better in this than I would
mud. You know where I skim the ball and
in summer it just keeps rolling. Whereas
in the mud it just sticks and it doesn't
go very far.
Oh, it's been a while.
This is Tom's first golf thing since
he's got back off a from Australia. Then
we're going to go watch the housemaid
this afternoon which I'm so looking
forward to. My skin feel like I've got
like frosty looking skin. Red cheeks.
Yay! Eagle!
>> Eagle free!
>> Woohoo!
>> Oh dear. Oh, I've just missed it on the
vlog. You might be able to see a little
bit.
>> See there? It's like Stranger Things.
>> Oh yeah. Oh, speaking of Stranger
Things, we've still got it to catch up
on. Look, it's snowing.
Oh my goodness.
It is now the next day. I've just slick
back my hair cuz it does need a wash,
but I thought we'll just do a little
hair updo today. Um, I had such a lovely
birthday. It was just nice spending time
with Tom, obviously having just come
back from Australia. Um, it was just
nice to spend the day with him. And then
the housemaid. So good. If you've yet to
see it at the cinema, I would highly
recommend. [clears throat] You don't
have to have read the book or anything.
It's in fact, if anything, it's nice if
you haven't read the book because you
don't know the
you don't know like any twists or turns
or the plot. Um, I would say it was
pretty close to the book as well. So, if
you have read it, I would say it's not a
disappointment. It was really enjoyable.
So, yes, really good day yesterday. We
ended up with a Chinese takeaway for
dinner and watching some Stranger
Things, which again I'd held off whilst
Tom was away. So, we managed to catch up
and finish that, which was so good. We
we were a little bit not disappointed
with the ending. And I'm not going to
ruin anything and give any spoilers in
case you haven't watched it before,
but it was just the ending just felt a
bit like it was a 2hour episode that we
feel like could have been an hour or at
least that last 45 minutes. It was just
kind of like, do you know what I mean?
If you've seen it. Um, but anyway,
really enjoyed finishing that. I'm gonna
head to I need you a bit of a food shop
and um I think I'm just going to pop to
M&S next to Home Bargains because I've
seen Home Bargains have brought out um
the new Mrs. Hinch range. Now, I'm not
holding out hopes that the Home Bargains
that I'm going to go to will even have
it because it's not the biggest Home
Bargains. So, I feel like to go to a
good Home Bargains for me is at least a
sort of 30 40 minute drive. and I'm just
like it's just so far to go for a home
bers that who knows if it's been really
popular it might have sold out. I just
don't want to risk it. Um so we're just
going to go to Home Bargainers. I need
to get a couple of top ups of some bits
anyway. And I thought just before we
head out I show you a couple of the bits
that I did get for my birthday. Tom
bought this back from the airport. Happy
birthday to Chocolate and also these
chocolates. I feel like Milka chocolates
are just the best airport chocolates you
can get. So these are the Choco
biscuits. Excited to tuck into those. I
also did get some Zara vouchers and a
couple of Homesense vouchers as well. In
fact, where we're going, there's a
Homesense, so I might have a quick pop
in there, but I will um over the next
couple of weeks, maybe even my next
couple of videos, I'll take you shopping
with me. Obviously, it's January sales
time, so maybe we're better off doing an
online order. We'll see. But yes, I will
show you some new purchases very soon
from those places. Um, what else did I
get for my birthday? got Gail's voucher
which is very up my street. I spend far
too much money and time in Gails. And
then I also got a couple of bits. Um
when Tom and his mom were in Australia,
they went to this brand called Assembly
Label. This is the little shopper tote
that it came with. So um yeah, really
beautiful brand. This range of obviously
like Australian, so predominantly
summery kind of lightweight clothing.
These I suppose you could wear as PJs,
you could wear as loungewear, as a
matching set out and about just very
comfy, relaxed fit. And then the
matching shirt that goes with it is
really nice actually. It's got a kind of
bow detail back. So, it's like a cutout
back, which again is lovely. And then
we've got this dress, which is right up
my street. Just a plain floating
um like linen dress. Oh, it's got
pockets as well. Also, Tom picked up
these. Great shout from him buying
homeware like this cuz I love these.
This is a pack um sorry, a set of well,
we've got two sets of four linen napkins
and we've got plain linen and we've also
got this lovely gingham. So, even
together if we are hosting for up to
eight people to like alternate napkins,
I just really like them. I had a Neptune
voucher. Show you what I picked up from
there. These were in the sale as well.
They've got uh January sales on um like
post Christmas sales as well. I got this
little trio of marble bowls. And
obviously there's loads of different
uses you could have for these. They just
had them styled up with the largest one
sat on a coffee table book with the two
smaller ones sat next to it with nothing
even in them, just styled up on their
own. But I think the large one or the
medium one would be really nice as a
little kind of salt pinch pot on um
kitchen worktop. Uh they'd be good
little trinket bowls as well in a
bedroom or a bathroom. So yeah, I saw
those and I thought I would pick those
up. Really, really nice. And um and
yeah, and then lastly, I picked up this
which um I bought for myself, but I
thought I'd just show you whilst whilst
we're here anyway. And on the topic of
new year organization, if you're into
it, if you're taking things slower in
January, that's also completely fine.
But if you also like to get quite
organized in the new year, I saw this
from a brand called Emily Rawlings, who
I've bought on before. They do like
birthday letters where you write a
letter to your child every birthday and
then you can give it to them on their
18th birthday and you've written them a
letter throughout their whole childhood,
which I think is such a lovely idea.
this. I actually bought one of those for
my friend when she had her um her baby.
But they've got some other stationary
bits and bobs. And I saw this and it's a
linen kind of binder which just has on
the front in gold a year of cards, the
little sleeves. And you can obviously
repurpose this every single year uh
because you've got a date here, name,
and then date and name again. So you can
repurpose these obviously every year.
You don't have to just use them for one
year. But as and when I see cards out
and about, I tend to buy them if I
really like the look of them, even if
we're not close to the occasion. So, I
just thought that would be such a good
idea that if you've got birthdays and
things throughout the year and you see a
card that you like and you think, "Oh,
I'll keep that." And slot it in or
Mother's Day, Father's Day cards,
Christmas cards, whatever. Well,
actually, maybe I won't keep Christmas
cards in here, but other occasions. I
just think that's so good. Really love
that idea. So, I thought I would show
you that in case anyone else likes that
concept, too. Um, that's everything I've
got to show you here. I feel like we
will head out now.
See if we can spot Mrs. Hinch. We'll
take my vouchers just in case I get
spending today, but otherwise, like I
said, I think in my next video, I'll
take you to Homesense.
They do these uh from Sun-Kissed, which
are like duping the Sunday um shower
whips. And this looks like a new scent.
Uh mango. This does actually say RRP25
[music] down to 3.99, but it reminds me
of the uh Laura Mercier. Can't remember
what it's called, the honey bath. Maybe
worth trying if you're a bath lover.
They also do a little dup this Charlie
Tate cleansing balm of the Elmus Pro
Collagen Cleansing Balm, which is one of
my absolute favorites. But if you wanted
to try a cheaper alternative, I can't
imagine the formulas is good. But I
don't know. Let me know if you've tried
it. They have some gorgeous cozy duvet
sets and bedding. This little uh throw
is lovely. And this is $14.99. They're
also starting to get out lots of pink
bits. I'm thinking for Valentine's Day.
Let's have a look and see what they've
got. They've got that bow cushion down
there. Little bow pajamas at £14. Even
bedding that kind of reminds me of
Chelsea Peers. little candle holder mug
with a lid and then Oh, that's quite
nice. A little bow server platter. So, I
love my lip stain. And they do their own
version now at 99p. Can you see it says
[music] like a wipe and reveal lip
stain? That's the color, but this is
Blushed Rose. They're all the same color
though. I think I already have this. So,
I had one from IKEA that was similar,
but anyway, a little vase at $3.99. also
with the Valentine's Day bits. They've
got some faux roses, some candles as
well. And then all of the kind of like
decor. This bag's really nice. This
little with love gift bag. Happy
Valentine's Day. Little confetti. 69p. I
found it. Hinch home range. Although
very limited. I can imagine she's
probably got some more than this. But um
let's have a look. This is the first
thing that's standing out to me. this
basket at $6.99. Very similar to my
Neptune one. Little lamp at $9.99.
Interesting. It's just gone for blue.
Maybe to lead into spring and summer.
Photo frame at $149. And then this
bigger [music] bars at $5.99. Kind of
similar to the ones just I would say
double the size one that I just showed
you. I really like that cushion. Again,
spring summer. I think she's definitely
thought ahead and thought forward with
this range. [music] But that's $14.99. I
think for me, from what I can see in
this store anyway, the standout is the
basket. I think that's really good for
$6.99. There's a few Christmas
reductions. What I wasn't expecting to
see is Easter already. I can't I mean,
Valentine's, yes, but Easter already.
Wow. This I feel like this section is
bigger than the Mrs. Hinch range. I
would have thought she'd have had more
space than Easter. This is crazy. Here's
some Mother's Day bits or like kind of
Easter, Mother's Day, Valentine's could
be all of them. This is what I'm looking
at here. I'm thinking more Mother's Day
with the whole um flowers and wine and
everything. But uh yeah, there you go.
Lovely mom. So, this is definitely more
Mother's Day.
Good little to-do list. I used to use
these to-do lists that Home Bargains do
all the time because they're on a ring
binder and they're lined and they also
have little tick boxes. So, for $149,
these are perfect for just like daily
checklists. Am I imagining it or is this
an old scent?
It says seasonal scent on the box, but I
think I've had this one before. The
winter winter morning. I think cuz it's
wintry, not necessarily Christmy. I
might even get a stock up of this apple
sweet vanilla with a seasonal warmth.
I might get one. This is quite handy. A
little snack box lunch box. And then
they've also got the bento lunch boxes
at the top as well. Um, but it is
plastic and I'm kind of avoiding getting
plastic Tupperware. Now, this isn't with
any of the Christmasy sale things, but
that to me
looks like a Christmas tree, but it's
not even advertised as that. But does
anyone else see what I mean? It's just
advertised as a three tier marble surf
stand. And like I said, it's not with
any of the Christmasy sail bits or
anything, but that to me just looks too
much like a Christmas tree. I like the
idea of it though. A little afternoon
tea display board or something. What
have we got over here? I was thinking it
was more Mrs. Hinch, but it's not. I'm
surprised they've got so little in to be
honest with you. Or is it HC? No, that's
just home collections. I do really like
that glass based uh lamp at $14.99.
That's really nice. In the past, I've
seen that they do these [music] bath
mats for about $3.99. Just plain white
piped edged, really simple, but I can't
see any in here. So, there is actually a
Dunelm. So, I'm just going to pop over
to Dunelm [music] as well and have a
look there for a new bath mat for Tom's
bathroom, the like top floor bathroom.
Um cuz his is grubby and he needs a new
one. Also, whilst I'm here, just see if
there's any uh cards to add to my new
card box. I don't think there is.
Nothing's standing out to me. What's
this one? Fabulous.
Fabulous mom. That's a nice simple one.
69p. Actually, I really like that. Mom,
if you're watching, maybe one day you'll
get that card.
Does anyone else have to take one from
not [music] the front? Is that just me?
Right. I'm in M&S. And guys, look. They
also have some of their Easter bits
coming in. And I just saw this green new
label and I was like, "Oh my goodness,
they've got the speckled eggs back." So
yeah, I guess Easter, guys, is in full
force in the shops already. Back home
with my little Mrs. Hinch basket. How
nice is it? Really like it. I was just
trying to think if I've got a Neptune
basket down here to compare it, but it's
actually upstairs, so I don't. But take
it from me, very similar. In fact, my
battery is flashing. So, I've got to go
upstairs anyway to get a new battery.
Let's go show you a comparison. So, this
is the Mrs. Hinch one with obviously the
handles on the side. You coming to
investigate? Whereas the handles on the
Neptune one are on the end, but that
really is the only difference. They're
very similar um sort of shapes. That is
a lot Barney,
you wanting all the attention. That is
the large basket that Neptune do. So,
they do do some smaller ones. I'd say
this one is slightly smaller, but
obviously then this one has the added
benefit of the separate Oh, excuse me.
As I was saying, this one has the added
benefit.
Excuse me, sir. of the separate
compartment things, inserts. So, anyway,
that was $6.99 that basket, which I
thought was pretty good. Some other bits
and bobs I got. Again, I've just got
some stock ups of some essentials, some
cotton pads. I needed some new little
dental floss sticks. Um, some
toothpaste. I just got some of that. Uh,
I got that card that I showed you to pop
in my little card box or card ring
binder. Uh, what else? I got the Zaflora
winter morning scent.
And right, I did get where is it? Oh,
some more little dental floss things. I
did get a couple of beauty bits. So, I
decided to go for that lip stain, the
miracle gloss. I might do a little Tik
Tok of this so that we can see how this
works and if I'd recommend it. And if I
do, I'm sure I'll tell you about it in
another vlog once I've had a good a good
try of it. So, I also got a couple of
like hair bits and bobs. This got to be
a styling gel for brows and edges. So,
like when I do do a sit back, just
excuse the state of my hair. roots need
doing. Hair needs a wash and not looking
[laughter] my hair's not at its finest,
let's just say. Um, but yeah, the that's
just a good one for getting any flyaways
down. But then I saw this one as well,
which is a root cover up mascara. Now, I
only well, they did have light brown,
but it looked quite orangey, whereas
this one is dark brown. And obviously
I'm I have blonde hair, but my roots,
even though I am and always have been
blonde, my roots are very dark now. Not
darker than what they used to be, which
doesn't help where I've got a little
patch of gray hairs here to uh hide
them. I thought we could maybe give this
a try.
So,
okay. Yeah, it's quite dark. And I'm
only doing this in the viewfinder. Yeah,
that's covering up a lot of my blonde.
So, I don't know if I want that.
Is that just going to make me look
darker?
Potentially.
Right. I need to have a good play around
with it and see how I feel about it
before I give it a full honest review.
And kind of alongside that, they do this
root touch-up spray. Again, it's in dark
brown. So, I it might be too dark for
me. This was like these were $1.99. So,
good for just trying out. I don't know
if I don't like it or I don't like it.
And then my hairdresser is going to kill
me. I don't even know if I'm going to
use this. But I got a couple of things.
My friend, one of my friends, she does
her own highlights and she just will
freehand. And I thought in between
appointments if it's worth me just
giving it a go myself. Like I do my own
gel nails. Hair is I think a tricky one.
And I am sat in the hairdresser's chair
for a good four to 5 hours having my
highlights done. But I thought
especially where that root bit is with
the gray hairs, maybe just to freehand,
I might not get around to that. I've got
it anyway. I'm going to switch to my
friend and see how she does it. And
yeah, we may or may not give that a go.
I'm not sure yet. Um, and then I also
popped into M&S as you saw. Just grabbed
some eggs, some decaf espresso pods,
just some lunch. I love this hammer
mozzarella wrap, so I grabbed that for
myself. and also avocado feta and
grains. I might have that one tomorrow
for lunch. And a good little healthy
snack for um like middle of the day.
Couple of rice cakes with these just the
lightly salted ones, so very plain. I'll
just put like some almond butter or
peanut butter and maybe a slice of
banana on it and that's a lovely snack.
Or sometimes with apple, although apple
I wouldn't usually have on that. Apple
with the peanut butter I would. But
yeah, as another little alternative, the
rice cakes, rice crackers. And then I
did see this card for two pound in M&S
that I thought would be a good little
one to pop into the Valentine's section
Friday February section within my card
organizer
uh folder that I've already got as well.
So that is actually everything that I
got from the shops. I feel like this
afternoon I need to edit.
I'm going to enjoy my sandwich now. Oh,
that sunshine coming in the bedroom is
so nice. But thank you so much for
