WEEKLY VLOG: a life update, my book club and workout routine | Suzie Bonaldi

Morning everybody, welcome back to a new vlog. How do I say this? I am trying I'm I'm trying not to let the PMS this month get to me, but oh Boy, I don't normally struggle like this I think even when I was pregnant I didn't really struggle like I I just want to cry I just want to cry. I hate everybody. I just want to cry I went out on a walk the walk did not help and you know, it's bad when the steps don't help But I've put some tan on and I put my gorgeous dressing gown on and you know My pink dressing gown theory a pink dressing gown is just always gonna make everything better And if nothing else they do something for your complexion that nothing else does So at least there's that because I also I've been very unwell and I am gray under all the makeup So my complexion needs all the help it can get. Yeah, I should probably disclose. That's where I've been in the sodding trenches So we had my brother's wedding which I yapped on about so much and then I was gonna vlog and then oh Honestly, it was just so chaotic I actually ended up being called to the wedding on the wedding morning hair and makeup got stuck stuck in a traffic jam like due to an accident for like three hours and they literally made it with enough time to Do the bride's hair and the mother of the bride's hair and one person's makeup and yours truly did four heads of bridesmaid hair Well, I don't know Considering I'm very unqualified YouTube is my only qualification in hair makeup everything. I mean not I'm definitely not bad at makeup So I was already due to do booked and busy that morning booked to do my mom's makeup so I had to in the space of two hours do my makeup my mom's makeup and then go to the venue and do four heads of bridesmaid hair and honestly, the chaos was just it carried on like Delilah got to the wedding and she just screamed the entire day the Entire day Ryan missed the ceremony and speeches He might as well have stayed at home and at this wedding We caught a cold and Brian's actually fine bless him. Thank goodness He's been holding down the fort, but I caught cold and then Delilah caught the cold So you can imagine how Unvloggable the last kind of week is it has it been a week or two weeks of my life have been and honestly It's always just just know that when I don't upload it's always a running tally in my head of like X amount of days No content It's been 13 years of YouTube and I still that's still the case but my baby is currently asleep in a cot How's that for progress? Does she still need to fall asleep for me? Yes In the cot you go girl. We started putting her in the pram next to the cot and we've slowly just graduated to the cot That was the hack that we were trialing in terms of like eventually getting her into the cot We've had a few successful attempts at just putting her in the cot and walking away and she's good But if she is just crying no, I don't do I don't do that. Anyway. Hi. How are we all? I hope you maybe miss me a bit. I actually did try vlogging the other day, but it was again. It's so chaotic I think because I don't see people obviously very rarely leave the house so when I see people unless it's people I see literally all the time like there's so much chatting and so much going on that like To stop and interrupt with the vlog is really hard, but I did actually go to London the other day Actually midway through Deciding please ignore all the mess. Yeah, I'm currently in the middle of trying to decide on my shoe I'm actually thinking the sling back. I've been getting so much wear out of these recently. Do we think the white tee now? I'm seeing it on camera. I'm not sure but I love Love to my eye. I love it. The capris are dressy. This is dressy the t-shirt kind of chills it out a little bit It's just a gorgeous day today. So it's time for the capris. I also wore these gorgeous. I'll post a photo What are they called Bermuda shorts like basically really long billowy shorts the other day with these slingbacks and it was Stunning. I ordered a load of really basic but cute little t-shirts from ASOS I've have an ASOS order here that I'll probably go through with you at some point this week But yeah, I wanted that kind of fit where it's like tight up top, but just a little bit looser But yeah, that is the OOTD. We've got fresh heatless Well, I curled my hair yesterday whilst my mom was here a rare event is me getting to curl my hair and then put heatless Curlers in to keep them held overnight one side held way better than the other. So we've had to fix that Yeah, that is gonna be my cutie little OOTD Okay I have tried on every coat capri bag combo that I own and I've decided to go for this Zara suede jacket with the giant tote bags I have my heart set on it and I like the rest of the outfit with it and I've also switched the t-shirt out for a tighter top Post partum what who I don't think she's here anymore guys I'm back in a slim fit tee and I don't hate it and I don't hate myself. What a moment. Oh my god I could cry. Anyway, I'm going for this. I like it. It is actually now getting a little bit too big for me It doesn't roll under as what it keeps like slipping. But what a problem to have. This is my fit I'm really happy with it. Wow, what a first and I'm on time Yeah I Also really like is it nude moss? Yeah, really nice like quite florally Victoria's secrets are quite literally in here. She did what no, I Need to order this one's in a cocoa color and I'm obsessed. I must order it immediately We all just had a joint meeting That's my London day It was really nice to see Vic and Amelia and I just wish I could have spent more time up there But had to get back, you know Anyway, I thought I would show you my Tala order very excited to have some new workout things I did order all of these in a small which I can now fit into which is very exciting But they're not gonna look their absolute best yet, but I'm hoping at some point in the summer Starts laughing, you know How freaking cute is that I have this top in black and white and I love it it oh my god I don't know what the fit of these does but it does something to the boobs Which I'm so grateful for because I've never understood people's want for a boob job job until after I had a baby I will never have one because I'm still traumatized by my c-section surgery Alone going under general anesthetic for something cosmetic could never ever be me So if you see my boobs look good at any point in the future Just know that I've not I've found some magical way to make them look good and it's not surgery because that wouldn't know No, so when I saw this in the cute colorway, I need to have that You know, I love a lilac, but I also love a brown. So like this is just a match made in heaven I have the matching leggings, which has a little band. I think I got the seven seven eight leggings Yeah, which I love as a short gal. I also got this kind of heavily gray color I think these might be a bit different, but I really liked the look of this sports bra It looks so tiny and I have to try and not spiral about that There's actually a girl in my Pilates class and she always wears really cute stuff always has really cute Pilates socks on that No, I have some new Pilates socks It's so embarrassing and she was wearing something similar to this but with a like she was wearing a little cardigan with it like this Little knitted lightweight cardigan. So so cute and I really like that vibe. So I was like Mentally noting that down. Oh, these are the sculpting bottoms. These make your bum look unreal I really enjoyed wearing my navy set of these when I was postpartum because obviously I just have no absolutely no figure when you're Postpartum and it still made me like feel a little bit good and then I also got because I'm still I used to love just like I would wear a Full workout set and just a teeny sports bra daily I'm not really feeling the vibes of wearing a teeny sports bra like just around the house with my leggings So I got this top that I could wear with the leggings when I want to be covered But actually this is so cute and I feel like I could wear this with a lot of other things as well I also think this colorway I have the shape by jacket off. So that's very pleasing to me So I have like a nice little full set. I've got a lot of this brown shade Which I really like I really suit like a mid Kind of brown in active wear like I sometimes feel like black washes me out a bit too much color is too much But actually year-round I'll get the use out of like a mid color, you know and actually brown through winter and summer I love it. I picked up these shorts because number one They're just really cute and easy to wear and like lightweight in the summer But I'm also I'm also going to run at some point soon. We're nearing the year mark, which is we're nearing the year mark to my C-section surgery and the guidance is super like all over the place for being active after a surgery like that But because I didn't really run regularly before I've running is the thing that I've been really wanting to do But really putting off doing post c-section surgery So I am leaving it until like summer to start and I'm also just such a nice weather running kind of girl Like I don't care that I'm gonna sweat 10 times more. I run in the sunshine. It's just that is what life is all about So yeah, I got these for that and also got the cute Asymmetrical matching top that was the little one and then there's a I did try these on yesterday Just this set then there's the asymmetric like long top the longer top for me perfect for Pilates I think and then we have the gorgeous mid-brown leggings as well And I love these leggings because they have a little zip at the back Which I'm so happy about because as lots of you all know I used to just walk around with my key attached to my phone in the summer and Amelia would literally Spiral every time she saw me doing it because she'd be like if you get robbed everything is gone Really excited to have some new activewear number one to motivate me But also as a reward to myself because I've been working out a lot more recently Unfortunately, I have learnt and this is unfortunate to everyone every girl that loves to sit on the sofa and just eat mini eggs But I have learned that I'm seeing more results and surprisingly from being active more often Which obviously I'm rebuilding my core like my abs were literally sliced in two So, you know, obviously I am gonna see results quicker if I'm like working out more frequently and by more frequently I mean more than once a week because in the beginning I did Pilates once a week and some steps and that has really been The case up until the last Month now, I've started doing more regular workouts both at home still doing my steps and then still doing Pilates So just hitting the workouts from all angles and it really is unfortunately making such a difference Which is so annoying because who has the time who has the time? I don't like actually I'm really struggling at the moment But I just feel like I could just not and like hope everything just like gets back to how it was eventually on its own but I really don't want to end up with like back problems or like I don't know just like being really Unfit as I get older because I had this surgery and then didn't really work at like regaining my strength It's really heartbreaking as someone that has spent so many years working out, but I will get back there and I'm making really good progress They're from always show I got these on ASOS, but they're like a little ballerina sock, but they still have the ankle bit They don't just cut off around the ankle. They go up a little bit You could probably then make them look quite nice with a pair of like trainers as well And I just love the colors like how good are these colors gonna look? Buzzing. Yes again the cute girl in my Pilates class had a set like them and I was just like copy paste And then I also got these as well. They're definitely more expensive than like the ones you can just buy off Amazon Which I bought ages ago and I hate them. They're horrible. Yeah looks so cute And then they go up and around back of the foot these are a little bit less high They're a little bit different over the bridge of the foot like they come up a bit higher I just I can't wait to go to Pilates today I also want to go and try out a gym that I have access to So I can kind of show you a few of the little things I'm doing to work out Like if you are a post c-section girlie, you might appreciate the deep core stuff Also treated myself to some new trainers because my walking trainers are like they get worn every single day And I do have to buy a new pair of walking trainers every single year because they just get so vile I don't know if I'm gonna love these I have to try a good few pair of trainers on a good few pairs I give few pairs of trainers on before I find the ones that I want to wear and right now this needs to be like Really low stock on all trainers, which is very annoying I like a running trainer for my walks because number one I also will run occasionally, but you also just find I walk at quite a high speed So like I just get way more comfort from like a running style trainer I don't know how I feel about these but we're gonna give them a go They're kind of cute. They're kind of cute. And then I also picked up another pair which This is very on me But I really wanted a black trainer Just so like when I'm wearing like a black set like I find a white trainer really cuts me off So I picked up a black pair of trainers, which it just feels so very 2015 of me. I haven't had a black pair of trainers in so many years, but it could be chic It could be chic got everything in a five and a half because my feet are still huge after giving birth What the hell basically take one thing if you are baby free and you want to take one thing away from what I'm saying here Is everything will be the same after you have a baby except different? Different they can't complain. They can't complain too much Oh, I also bought loads and loads of t-shirts from ASOS in that order as well I'll link the ones that I bought and liked this one actually has some makeup around the corner But I'm really liking these Hollister little fitted tees I also picked up some more loose tees as well, which are really nice but like different just different vibes, right? Time to put some clothes on. The dogs just woken Delilah up. Honestly, if you're pregnant, do not get a dog One of my friends the other day said, do you think I should get a dog? She's pregnant. I was like, no No, please go back to sleep. I'm just playing the bunny now. Damn, I literally was so buzzing for an extra 20 minutes Don't get a dog. Don't don't do it to yourself. Don't do it. We are ready for pilates. I just need to pick my socks No, I feel like I need to do a try on which I will not do with you because we don't do three feet content but I think in terms of color, these are like The best gonna take my Stanley phone Kindle Guys, we didn't get to discuss this because I was away and I was unwell, but oh my god I'm so excited. I Could combust I'm also just obsessed with all of the theories as to how it's gonna be what it's gonna be because I feel like Six is it gonna be a novella? Is it gonna be some we don't know. It's also I would say it is giving I'm getting out of my book contract as fast as legally possible, which I think is interesting SJM, would you like to speak on that, please? I'm so nosy and that is what it says to me like I am fulfilling contract as fast as possible Anyway, SJM said in the call her daddy interview Specifically when they were talking about do we need to read Crescent City before we started the next two? She did not necessarily confirm but she said you've had enough time So I was just kind of feel like she is right Like I have had enough time and if there are some crossovers, I would like to understand the crossovers We've now got until October which do you know what pre baby would have been like that's a breeze I can have that done in like the next three months now. I'm like, wow, that's actually quite a challenge Let's see how I let's see how I can do on that note I have actually for all of the girlies that haven't Started Crescent City the series yet Or if you want to do a reread if you're that way inclined which I love and respect so much either of the two I have made a book club Which I have been asked about for like the last two years since I started reading Akatar Especially when I was pregnant and people would ask me I was like I don't know how I'm expected to run a book club and raise a baby But here I am you should have started this two years ago when you guys were requesting it. It's called BRB It was originally live laugh library But I kept accidentally saying live laugh love and then people were thinking that I was serious and I'm just too tired to be Ballsing up my own book club name that regularly so BRB busy reading books, please come join me. I will link it I'm using fable. It's a very cute app. We can make it look really cute There's lots of little like discussion segments Which I really like and I'm going to try and find some cute little fun things when I think about what those are Yeah, I'm taking that because any reading I can get done at the moment great. I'm also gonna pack some deodorant I can't be smelling on top of smelling a little bit like fake tan. So we are where we are That is what is in my bag for Pilates. I'm also wearing the gray set What on earth are we wearing as a coat with sets like this? It's awkward weather now, like I wore my aloe like shearing jacket out and I was too hot. So like Can the girlies let me know? What are we wearing? Anyway, let's go to Pilates Morning just on my red light on my face I'm trying to get rid of this little patch of I don't know if you can see it It doesn't really show up on camera, but you can really see it in real life I get these like red bumpy bits around my mouth I think it's like dermatitis, but red light is amazing for getting rid of it and I'm trying the current body s2 at the moment I just feel like it looks immediately better. So yeah, I'm gonna keep that up and hopefully that should Should be gone soon at the rate that it is going down But anyway morning skincare going in with the Sarah Chapman skin assist intense hydrating booster I have loved this for about 10 years now pop that one over my face It just like really helps everything else be even more hydrating and then I'm going in with the Medicaid liquid peptide advanced NP This is like an anti-wrinkle serum. I am Well overdue a Botox appointment, but this and the moisturizer I'm using and the serum all really really help But like just taking away that little bit of texture, which is nice I probably will still get a top-up because my face is coming with Subtitles if you know what I mean, like my face is actually gonna give me away Especially when my hair is down because we've got a lot more movement when the hair is down Anyway, finishing up with the Charlotte Tilbury magic cream. This is a fresh one I am trialing the new that was quite a lot. Whoops the new magic cream. So this has been Reformulated and it's basically been given like a boost which I am so happy with because I was using it recently I think literally when I was away for the wedding I was using it and I was thinking God like I Would just love this just had a little bit of extra like umph a little bit like the clay depeau the very spinny the cream because that like I put on my face and then it Just completely it like blurs and smooths out your skin And it's basically just like a little mini facelift and then went on this trip with Charlotte Tilbury and they were like, oh, yeah We've reformulated this and it's meant to be like a mini facelift and I was like, oh my god Am I living in the matrix? Like do I have control over the world? Like this is so weird So, yeah new magic cream formula and it is so so much better than the old one I am obsessed like the glow and the bounciness that it gives it's just 10 out of 10 So that is my current morning skincare routine Nighttime is kind of similar except I use Sarah Chapman and then this and moisturizer I'm currently using clay depeau the cream when I do my makeup. I'll just follow that up with an SPF Even though the Sun is not out today Which I'm really sad about so I'm actually gonna go to the gym at Beach House today And that would be a really nice experience in the Sun just like a little treadmill and then just like looking out over the sea And it's sunny Right now Is done and go in with my final step as always now, let's talk fragrance for the day This is a new Narciso Rodriguez fragrance, and I do love a Narciso. I actually have to say I normally love the limited editions They're always a bit different. So like the last limited I think it was a limited edition one that I loved. It's like the bright pink bottle very fruity very non Musky, which is something that I always associate Narciso fragrances with and this it's musky It's florally as per I feel like their core DNA, but the overwhelming portion of this is clean linen It smells like a dream. It's so Long-lasting like this is the most long-lasting fragrance. I think I own I can smell it on myself just like throughout the day I get wafts of it and it's absolutely stunning like it's in my hair and sometimes I like in bed I just like my hair and I just oh It's Honestly beyond stunning. I love it. This is all I want to wear right now. It's very red I have a fragrance that I just wear day after day after day, and I'm not like for different occasions. I'm not switching I just always want to wear this. I always want to smell like this. It's incredible. You must you must buy What are the ingredients we use to make something smell like clean linen? I don't know but this honestly Stunning stunning. Anyway, I'm also wearing my Tala set, let me show you do you see what do you see what I was talking about? Yeah, I really like it. It's actually more flattering than I thought it would be I thought this band around the middle was gonna be like quite widening. It's very flattering. So happy with that I won't turn to the side because we'll have are you going for baby number two comments and I can't do that to myself But yeah, just loving the chocolatey color mixed with the lilac. It's so beautiful See, I'm very excited for my little gym trip today first port of call today. We are dropping my car to the mechanics again I never talk about money, but I'm just gonna tell you I have just paid over 2,000 pounds to have my car fixed And it's still not right. Oh It stings it really stings Sorry, just me adjusting because Ryan drives my car and he's a giant and I'm a little tiny minion I fear I may be being scammed you guys like I think they see cute tiny girl come in and I just This is giving Emilia's ticked up where it's like getting in the car not with the same energy you got out the car with I've said that really wrong, but I normally have like no fear of like taking my car in But I today have like almost like pre-dentist fear but about the mechanics I really don't want to drop her in like if they tell me that there's anything that they can't fix or anything I'm just gonna cry. So yeah, that's our first port of call And then that is why I decided that we are gonna go have a nice day We're gonna go to gym at Beach House. I'm gonna treat myself to a sauna There's a sauna there I'm gonna treat myself to a nice infrared sauna I hope they still have that get a little lunch get a little peppermint tea Mama's having a nice day out because honestly I was Shrieked at because what the hell is the nine-month shrieking stage about I'm well aware I do not lead a very stressful life and that I may be easily stressed out But life has been a little bit too much all at once Recently and I just actually feel like I need and I deserve some TLC some actual time to just breathe like just to breathe I went to Pilates yesterday and it was so nice just to breathe. So yeah, that is Whoa, okay. There we go. She's moving. Okay. I'm gonna see you later. Got a bad feeling guys I just feel like being a girly pop with my sunny angels stuck in my car and my cute bags I'm really bad feeling I'm gonna be stitched up. They asked me for any more money I'm just gonna be like I can't afford that I'll just take her back and then I'm gonna go somewhere else and I'm gonna send my dad See if I can show you but it doesn't mean I'm really trying to be around healthy. These are the changing rooms Sorry Little chandelier unreal. I just picked up this jacket. This is the jacket It's like a brown and brown check Come to meet me we're loving crawling on the sofa Crying you hear in the background Delilah is having her nappy changed and she is not happy about it I got the call from my mechanics. My car is fixed. I have no additional charge Thank God because quite frankly, I've spent enough money on that car in the last In the last seven seven days two weeks who knows today's in good vibes and you know what I put it down to Anyway, I put on pink underwear this morning and you know my thing about pink dressing gowns And honestly, I feel like it extends to pink underwear and honestly I've had the best day and I just knew when I was putting the underwear on I was like Let's see if my pink dressing out there. It extends. I just feel like it's going to gorgeous gym experience cute little smoothie Read some of my book nice lunch car is fixed felt cute in my active wear and now I'm getting a hair wash in What a great day She's back. Ladies and gentlemen, she has returned. It feels so good to have nice hair again Everybody you know what the strangest thing happened to me at the weekend Hi, by the way It's but actually been a while since I last Vlogs like I don't actually remember where I left you the strangest thing happened to me the other day I just like it's gonna sound really weird, but I just woke up and I just felt like Myself again, I don't feel like I haven't felt like myself properly since Honestly before my wedding the last time I remember really like feeling like myself was like the summer before my wedding So fully like in the middle of 2024 and we're now a quarter of the way through 2026 which is such a long time to feel like a bit out of sorts But I honestly have been feeling that way for so long I just woke up and I was just like feel like a part of me has come home and that's so weird It was almost like I just actually returned to my body after a year and a half of like something That was like part of me not being in it. Don't know where she went. Did she take holiday? Did she have a nice vacation? Don't know and I don't know what changed is it because I've had more time to myself this week I mean that would The therapist in my brain says that would be a good indicator Maybe it was that is it the nine month mark because we're just we're like nine months and eight days over I don't know, but I feel like I'm home. I could cry. That's so nice Well, anyway, the Sun is shining like it is brightly sky. I have a date with Delilah today I thought I would bring you along with us because we're gonna go out We're gonna sort out some birthday gifts for one of my best friends. It's her birthday this week She's also my sister-in-law, which is lovely I get to really like double down on the like how much time I get to Spend with her. But yeah, it's her birthday this week. So I'm gonna go sort some bits for her We're gonna have a cute little day and then I have Pilates very excited for Pilates because I Literally just pay my teacher Danny to bully me and I'm like just make everything as hard as physically possible Like I don't want to be able to walk for a couple of days after like I want it to be like, you know When you go to PT but at Pilates and I'm like really enjoying that kind of vibe at the moment I actually did I did Pilates twice last week and it was really good because the class was kind of like similar ish on the Friday to the Monday and I could like I knew where I needed to make things harder and that was Really fun me like five or six years ago could not fathom the words I've just come up my mouth like that being fun I used to go to PT and just moan the whole way through even if I'm moaning Pilates now when I leave I look at Danny and I'm like I moaned but I enjoyed it and then I just kind of like sheepishly ran out Because I she knows that I'm there to just like be absolutely annihilated. The working out more like the last week I've just felt like I feel physically like it's really starting to pay off like Delilah stopped feeling heavy at all Like she feels light like a feather I can just walk around with her on my hip and do like loads of stuff around the house with her just like on me And I don't even think about the fact that she's just just like there and like my arm used to really hurt So just feeling so like nice and like strong and in a very Good place, especially I know I'm in a good place because I've had some really awful comments this week about how I should diet which is just lovely, but they like just didn't they didn't hit and that is like when you know You are in a good spot I feel like I've gone really over the top with my brows and I felt like I didn't really touch them that much but they Look a bit crazy. Iconic nude has just been the go-to this past week a Little bit of my Valentino lipstick. I can't remember if I've talked about this I've got this on the Charlotte Tilbury trip. I went on still obsessed with this I also have gone back this week to doing a little bit of like a liner Which I feel like I haven't really done in so long I've just been doing like either eyeshadow or a little bit of mascara But not really like an actual solid bit of something on the lash line. Cute mascara I am sweating. The heating's not on. Do you know what that means guys? That means summer is coming. I cannot wait. We really need to book some kind of holiday I desperately need to get Delilah's passport photo done in my head That's just such a such a task anything where I have to go on the dot-gov website. Just honestly sends me into a spiral. I Have to show you what I got. I am so excited about this. So I did my LED face light this morning and then I did my LED hand light You guys know I do mean I get my nails done a lot like lots of people suggest that it can be quite aging on The skin so I thought why not use my LED face mask on my hand and then I looked on the website and they do a hand Mask already like they do it for every they do one for your head They do one. I think they do one for your neck, which personally I also would quite like I just would like a full body like LED light machine. Yeah, I got the hand one You just plug it in. I just sat here this morning and just Popped my hand in did my face and hands at the same time buzzing Absolutely prepare to be sick of seeing my hands in the future because they're just gonna be so youthful I don't know if they look more youthful already, but We'll see time will tell anyway. I need to go and get ready I did a hair wash quickly just like curled the ends under and then Wrapped my heatless curlers in my hair just to like set whilst I was doing my makeup. It's getting so long I love it so much. Also, the color is starting to lift as well So she's gonna be a part brunette part blonde again. I just need the Sun to give me that free free balayage Ready to roll. Delilah is in her pram. I'm just gonna put my trainers on my jacket Some of you may remember this because I actually haven't been able to wear this jacket for a very long time This is the jacket that I got when Ron and I went to New York when I was like nine weeks pregnant Stupidly bought it in an extra small and then like so quickly wasn't able to wear it. It's back It's got room so nice. And although it seems bizarre to still be wearing a jacket like this in March I don't know why because every year I think oh, why is it so cold? It's March and actually I think I should just accept that March is still quite a cold one proper jacket from kids Tyler Flair's Whatever trainers these were and then I've just got An adenola sports bra on on underneath just in case I don't get time to change before Pilates I thought I'd wear something that I could rock up to Pilates Wearing got Pilates socks in my bag this time because forgot them on Friday had to buy Another pair from the studio after the car situation.

Her jumper underneath has a bunny on it And it's got a little bobbly tail So cute, I know you want this but you can't have it baby I got some really sad news When I was like on the train into Brighton Honestly, I was like just kind of Walking around trying to buy gifts Trying not to cry So I actually did not vlog But I do have all the things and I do have a coffee To show for our outing Got a few bits for Delilah in boots You know the boring kind of like Formula Got windswept to bits as you can probably tell I'm just going to tuck it behind my ears and just not Just not touch it Got a gift bag I also got some new cards I did have a card in mind for Lucy But I saw this and this is so Perfectly her I was like okay that has to be Your card But then I also saw some other ones that I really like So I thought I'd show you This is Lauren in a card Which makes it really difficult because I also got her No Collin No Party All these cards are from Scribblers The best place for like cards and things I already got Lauren No Collin No Party And I didn't get to give it to her last year So she may get to this year Or I just have the next two years ready to roll This I just love Like this is the kind of like birthday card That I personally would appreciate And then I also got this one For my brother because he just got married And I still need to Get them a wedding gift so Better late than never I then went to M&S To get the goods If in doubt Collins In a little birthday bag They're always going to go down well I also feel like she will love this So I got that for her So those are like the foodie bits that go in there I'm going to put some beauty bits in there And then I also got her Just something random to open I got her a little Strawberry Love Sunny Angel I actually already bought one of these At the weekend Then got some banana chips Because I'm back on my BS I've quit my mini egg addiction Apart from this weekend when it will be Easter I've quit my mini egg addiction And my Cadbury's addiction And I'm back on lighter sweet treats But that is what I got Lucy I'm going to put some beauty bits in this bag As well for tomorrow Yeah me and the Nutella latte Are going to go get the baths Also I accidentally didn't get decaf So pray for me today I realised at the weekend that I have An entire series of Secret Lives Of Mum and Wives to catch up on I got the launch date completely wrong So wrong in my head I thought it was the 26th of March And I think it was the 12th or the 16th I don't know how I Yeah I don't know how I mess things up this badly at the moment This television show It is the best reality TV I actually realised on Fable I should take you through the app because it's actually a really cool app But I realised I realised that you can have A club for TV shows So you best believe That Secret Lives of Mum and Wives Season 5 I will be making A club And actually I can then talk about any TV that I'm excited about In real time on there Emily in Paris Anything I need someone to talk to about Secret Lives of Mum and Wives Because me and all of my friends we watch it all at different points And like some of my friends only kind of watch it Through like TikTok I have no one to talk to about it So I think we need to utilise that feature on Fable Because I need to talk to people about this I can't I don't understand that much why people don't like Jen And I don't understand how Demi has not gotten more Trouble But obviously she has because she's just not She's just not included on this season I'm trying to get through this season because of all the Jessie drama And she's uncle, her daddy I need to watch that I just love this show and the dancing What is it? Dancing with the stars Yeah I need to get through this season I need to just like deep dive everything on TikTok Once I've watched the season Because I'm now just like so behind Like I was wondering why I was seeing so much on TikTok It's because the series was already out And now all the Bachelorette stuff Yeah your Real Housewives I feel like this is on par with Real Housewives I say this I haven't watched all of Real Housewives And I haven't watched certain locations Because there's just so many There's just so many to start with Would love to know what your recommendations are for where to start with that Because I kind of started with Salt Lake Where else should I start? Let me know And let me know what season Because there's just so many If you need more reality TV to watch This is so good At night I feel like because they're younger They make even worse decisions Just ran up the stairs I'm in a rush Delilah has gone down for her nap And I'm doing a very quick turnaround Before Pilates So I've stayed in the base outfit And then I've just thrown on this White wrap top which is from Glamorous on Asos Gave my hair a little brush It has fallen out a bit But for first day literally just washed Freshly this morning hair I'm impressed quite frankly This is the best I could have hoped for And me freshly postpartum Would have never thought this was possible All in a morning's work Got up at 6.30, did my hair Would I have liked more time in bed? Yeah, but here we are And I felt good for it But yeah, that is my Pilates OOTD Let's go get my arse kicked What reformer do I want? I think I'm going to go with Friday's reformer That felt good Yeah, this one or this one? I need a nice spiky hair Good evening everybody Guess who almost passed out after Pilates Had to run For the train, which was early Might I add, so I'm not overly impressed As usual with the Southern service It's either late or Three minutes early I obviously do not run often As we've discussed And I'm thinking I probably should, you know Just been taking it easy this evening Doing a pre-bedtime rush Not in a rush, but we are now 10 minutes past bedtime And we're about to do bath time So I am going to get this girl Who's currently covered in broccoli In the bath, get in bed Read my book Hopefully going to the gym tomorrow morning I'm going to see if I can swing that Because we're going to Brighton anyway So I'm like, guys I'll meet you there I will see you in the morning For another day in the life of yours truly Oh it's video, sorry Guys I'm addicted to opening Sunny Angels And we have this game where I do it in the back of the car In the mirror so Ryan couldn't see Mirror eats first I'm going to go for I reckon the mouse I want it to be funny It's the mouse! I love it so much It's so cute So you've got three that you haven't got I got three that I haven't got I have no dupes But I didn't get the bunny So how many do you have now? Of that collection How many is there? Six Oh I really want the rabbit And it's so annoying when you just have one Because I know if I go back and buy another one It's not going to be the rabbit If anyone has a dupe of the bunny let me know Good morning everybody It is, well I don't even know what day it is anymore Wednesday, it's Wednesday But it doesn't even matter what day it is Does it make a difference? This morning Shrimpy has the bets So I'm treating her to one of our favourite beach walks And this is one of my favourites because it's a nice long one But it's also visually Stimulating for me It's a jumble sale of architecture I wish I could show you but I feel like it's really invasive I feel like the fact that people Live on this beach is crazy Their houses are just like here And you can see straight in And also got myself my second Nice latte of the day, the decaf life I have to say, but it's quite stunning because You can just have as many coffees as you want And I'm just such a sucker for a little vanilla latte And this one, I say little This one is massive, this is the biggest latte I've had in a while The girl is getting her steps in Where are you? The old girl Getting her steps in, bless her It's such a nice day, I don't know if you can see there's a lot of people out The weather's not weathering in a bad way It's just nice vibes I am shattered I feel like I haven't even done anything And I'm shattered but I've just been replying to Some of the comments In the book club chat I need to take you through this, finally And after that I need to get on with some reading But it is book club launch day I'm so happy We can finally all chat Crescent City together Even if you've read it and you want to join Ready for a future read You can still jump in and comment on some of the chapters If there are any memorable chapters for you Because chapter 5 for example So many people immediately Became book club members And then went to chapter 5 and they were like So if you want to join in In that kind of way In retrospect, feel free to do that as well If you just want to chat Crescent City I, so far, am absolutely Obsessed Absolutely obsessed I think about it every day My thoughts will be in book club If I haven't said already, it is free to join Let me show you what is going down In the app So this is book club At the top of the page you have your chats So you can come in and introduce yourself Which is really cute and I love that I've been getting back to everyone in there We have the lobby which I'm just treating as general stuff And I think that's a really cute way to just Give updates on what you're reading Like you're reading POV Like if things arrive, I think that's so nice And then we have future book club reads Where I will kind of like pop a poll Or you guys can suggest books for future reads And then we have book rec So if you guys are looking for a book recommendation You can go in here And ask everyone for recommendations We have the book we're currently reading Which is House of Earth and Blood And then there's also a past discussion section Which obviously this is our first book so we don't have yet But this will eventually go here And you can go here and see all of this So it doesn't just disappear Which is super nice Here we have milestone 1 so this is like kicking off reading the book So we've just been chatting about that This morning And then you have all of your chapters So there are no spoilers Some people are so far ahead And someone has already finished I saw this morning So that's really fun I've put our end date as the 30th of April I feel like even if you chip away a little bit daily Or like a chunk a week You should be able to get through it I think I obviously don't get the most time to read anymore And I am really like chipping away at it quite easily I don't know if that's just because I'm enjoying it I don't know if I'm quite a fast reader I've never timed like how many pages I can do In like a certain amount of time or anything So I don't know But yeah if you want to join busy reading I would actually love your opinion on this Like the name I love BRB and I want to keep it as BRB But should BRB stand for busy reading books Or should it be like busy reading book club Because when I talk about it Calling it the BRB club that makes a lot of sense Whereas at the moment if it stands for busy reading books Then it has to be the BRB book club But that also now sounds fine now I've said it out loud Let me know what you think it should be We've come a long way from live love library So thank god for that Anyway I'm going to go and crack on with this Because we have got some work to do Previously to book club launch I've actually been making notes in my notes app As I've been reading along But I'm so excited now that it's like fully launched And we're all reading Because it means I can just make my notes in the chapters And I don't have to like save them elsewhere I'm loving it I actually think, don't hate on me for this But I actually think I prefer this to Way way over Throne of Glass But I don't know if that's because I read Throne of Glass after Akatar I'm obsessed with Akatar Like in a different way to this This is like so cool This is so sick This is like Akatar's cool big sister I know I always feel like really uncool Saying things are cool But I'm obsessed I love the main character She is honestly a bit of me I feel like she's quite dry But then she's a lover of My Little Pony Whereas Akatar is like the cutesy baby sister I would really recommend it If you are into fantasy I would really really recommend it I'm always such a fashion and beauty girl So it's fun to do something different Even though I talk about books all the time It's fun to have a place for it So yeah, I hope you will come and join me If not now, you can join in advance Of Akatar 6 and 7 if you want I would also love that So we have April, B Crescent City 1 May number 2, June number 3 So then we've got July, August September, October I'm going to assume that book is not coming out at the start of October So maybe October We've got 5 other reads So if you want to go over and suggest a book For the summer The summer to autumn transitional months Please do But yeah, that is going to be it for me I will see you next week Thank you for joining, hope this vlog wasn't really boring Because I think I just spent most of my time either Unboxing Tarla stuff or in the gym Or unboxing Sunny Angels Anyway, love you, bye Sunny Angels all living their best life over here by the way Don't worry about them guys, they're so cute Absolutely zero regrets on that, okay bye
