WEEKLY VLOG: IT'S FINALLY TIME TO TELL YOU... | Suzie Bonaldi

Good morning one and all. Happy Akita release week. I won't bang on about it too much but just know that it will be taking over my evenings. Just done a little hair removal if you know. If you don't know that is why my skin around here might be looking a little bit angry. We also have some new guests in the room. Say hello to my lady. She's looking so pretty. I don't know these obviously don't match like the other two were a set and I liked that but it was No, that's the light. They were green and beige. But it just didn't, it was nice. It just didn't give me much. Whereas I just feel like these are so pretty and the colours are so wintery and like just really nice. And I will probably change it again. for like spring summer i'm keeping the old ones so i can swap them back at any time i just feel like it's so nice to have a change they annoyingly don't match perfectly there was one print that i really wanted it was like green like that same dark green and then three big lemons on it doesn't sound that much when i'm explaining it but it was really really beautiful but it didn't come in that size or it only came in canvas so annoying i just really didn't want it in canvas i just wanted the print so um yeah we had to pick something else It actually matches better IRL. We have new frames on the wall, not on Command Strips. Sorry to Command Strips. I am your biggest fan, but you really did us dirty last week. I've done a new mini makeup bag. My old makeup bag was overflowing, this happens, I just switch between the two, I just take the essentials, put them in here and then eventually all of the stuff or new things just migrate over and then I have to do it all again and then sometimes I end up with other random makeup bags that just have the old dregs in it. This room is just a trove of going in with magic cream, my skin, when I do a botox top up there are a few things that I come back to and they are medicate serums, the anti The anti-wrinkle one or the XO PDRM one. Either are good. Either are good. I feel like the PDRM one is fractionally better, but if you have the anti-wrinkle one, don't be like, I need both. You don't need both. But Magic Cream, the new formula, not the old formula, that actually does need an update because the new formula of Magic Cream is unreal. Like unreal, like Botox in a tub. When I was like making little eyebrow movements before I could see like lines sitting in here and like they're just... So much better now. So, yeah, Magic Cream is my essential at the moment. I must message the clinic back about my appointment. I wanna get microneedling, bit scared of that. I always feel that everyone I know that has microneedling has really good skin and I'm like, do they just have really good skin and then they do microneedling or does the microneedling equal great skin? Need to know. Apparently microneedling and Botox are like, are very good like, they go hand in hand. i said it in the last vlog i've been feeling a little bit i've had a tiny case of the uglies recently just in how i feel um and i'm at a point now where i'm like what can i do? i will do anything. what treatments are really good for someone at this point in their anti-aging journey? because i'm already very big on the spf and the botox. like do i need to try profilo? I don't know. I would quite like to like kickstart that journey, especially now I am getting more sleep. When I wasn't really getting any sleep when Delilah was young, like this time last year, I was like, there is honestly not much point in doing anything because I just am gonna look like pretty crappy all the time. Had a little bit of Botox last October and it did like take the edge off of things, but really apart from that, I was like, nothing is gonna save me. Still going with this. Now, do I resent the fact that they're called drops when this is how much I like to use? Yes, I do. Does that stop me being absolutely obsessed with this foundation? And do I need to drop that structure of sentence because I do it so much? Also, yes, let's work on that. I have been trying, but it's really so good. I'm obsessed. I don't want to hear anything about the fact that it's not quite my skin tone because... We've got to match the face to the body. I just like to be orange, okay? And I would say with this, this is going to break the hearts of many minimal makeup girlies out there, but more is more, more is more. Like the first time I used it, it was really beautiful, but I had only used a light layer. It honestly, it looked great on camera, but in real life, I was like, oh, I feel like I can see patches where it's not covered, obviously, because it's a slight bit too dark for me. But the coverage when I use more, incredible. The glow that it gives, unmatched. The wear time. Outstanding. I love it when you have a makeup day and you look at yourself in the evening and you still look great, which as you know, because I've spoken about this at length, with a toddler slash a baby is really, really hard. The mams watching will know. It's either because they smush their face into you like 100,000 times a day, or you sweat so much and get so hot and flustered that it actually causes your pores to like... expand. I used to find that I would get so patchy. It was like my skin, my pores were expanding and they were just absorbing the foundation. Don't get that with this. So loving that this made its way firmly into the makeup bag. Lovely warm bronzer. It's a... So quick to blend. This really adds definition back into your face and warmth and it's so beautiful. Not that you can see, it's that time of year where it's just gloomy. Oh, today's gonna be a great day guys. Delilah's at nursery and gets some things done. Oh, it's just gonna feel so nice because I have been trying to work this week, like properly, fully work with a toddler climbing all over me and I honestly, the previous generation of YouTube mums made this look so easy and I feel cheated and lied to. It's really not. And I feel for all of the mums that had to try and work from home. And be it a teacher and mum and personal entertainer for their child during lockdown. However that worked out, whether you think you did a great job or not, I'm telling you, you did a great job. This BioThro Hue Glazing Balm in the shade Marshmallow. Yes, great as a blush. Great as a blush. Beautiful. Outstanding. Can't be topped. As a lip colour. So perfect. Victoria, never discontinue this. I'm obsessed. I know I'm going to go through this so quick. I'm going to have to go and order another one. Gorgeous. Only a few uses in and I'm already like, I need to. Haven't done that since the YSL lip. Shade 200. Immediately tried that, bought two. So I wouldn't have to be without it at any point. That's the level of good that this is. Right, okay, brows. My L'Oreal brow gel. Very, very loved. In addition to the productive day that I'm about to have, I'm so excited because Ryan is at football this evening, which means me. and a quart of splintered harmony. no interruptions, no distractions. just me and my book. don't i know how to live? you know what? i just don't care about my three month trial of apple music. i really wish iphone would stop trying to force that upon me. nah, it's not gonna happen. stop trying to make fetch happen. oh my god, i nearly forgot i have an update for you. nail studio update. i am switching my days for november. i am now doing a thursday and a friday. and i feel like you guys are loving like so many people immediately move their bookings from a saturday to a friday guys what what what is happening do we do people not work on a friday I used to work in events management before this and uh I was not allowed out the office oh no it's work different now I'm so intrigued how are we all getting out the office on a Friday my boss she would barely let me go to the doctors for a UTI Like just to get my antibiotics, the vibe was just come to work and bring your cranberry juice with you. How are you guys getting out for nail appointments? I'm so jealous. Little light makeup, probably gonna add to it throughout the day, but yeah that is my current very easy everyday routine without the eye makeup. I may add the eye makeup later. Also set up my agenda, I will show you her. She's so pretty. I really need to get dressed don't I? Really dragging my feet on that. She's so pretty. The one thing I will say is I need a Kindle insert, gals. They need to make a Kindle insert for the girlies. Maybe I'm not the true target market, but I feel like this would be something that I would purchase. A lot of the girlies that work in corporate that would want something like this, they possibly read on their commute. And actually, a Kindle insert would be perfect. Does not fit in the pouch. Wait! Oh my god. Sorry I ever doubted you, Isabel. Wow. Now the light board. Do I need her? No but the reason I'm keeping this in here is actually if we end up being out and about and I've got Delilah with me that's a very good form of entertainment. Girl loves a crayon. Mirror. Nice. Like I said in my previous vlog. Not the last one. I bought the full set on launch day. That was the only option. I do have bits that I don't. Anyway, the inserts that I have added in are like one little segment on manifesting. I'm just not a manifesting girl, in all honesty. Maybe I should be, maybe that's where I'm going wrong. Daily planning, but I'm mainly here for, I really like the weekly plan. That's kind of, that's the kind of overview I need. We've got a yearly planner, then we've got the full year. Calendar, view, lined pages, and then to-do list at the front. I feel like I mainly need the to-do list pages. That is my main thing that I think will get repurchased. But I just put a selection of different things in there to see how I end up using it. But I think for me, like, lined pages and to-do list is, like, the main thing that I would say I would actually use this for. Also very excited for the charms to come because... You know that is going to be a bit of me. Gorgeous vibes. Let's hope this goes a little way into making me more organised. My mum would be so happy. Good afternoon. Coming back at you. Basically from where I left you. But it's my favourite time of the day. We're going to make my afternoon matcha. And it has had an upgrade. By the way, jump scare. When I put this jug down. My velvetiser. When I put this velvetiser down. I can explain. I have not had a boob job. I thought it would be really cute. I'm wearing my Tala set. Sorry. Where are my Tala set? I know some... I'm sorry to everyone who my boobs really offend on a regular basis. This, really cute. And this entire Tala collection had like these little lilac accents. It's from the lilac bra underneath. It's from the same collection. I decided this morning when I was getting dressed, I was like, oh my God, I thought actually the lilac top underneath would look really cute under the long sleeve and um when i put it on the uplift that it gave like the the lift that the lilac gives is very good the lift that the espresso top gives also very good the two together i have no business having boobs like this that's how i've been going about my day and i can't lie i felt very good about myself so she's ovulating and she's worn this top combo and And I fear I am unstoppable. Right, my mantra has had an upgrade. So, We're on hot matchas, 'tis the season, and I'm not, I am a nice drink girl through and through. I don't enjoy this season normally, however this year I'm just, it's nice. Apparently matcha is meant to be had hot as well, you knew. Does it make the slightest bit of difference to me? I don't think it does because I'm drinking this for the enjoyment, not for health benefits, clearly because I have it with oat milk. This, this is Ryan, this is Ryan's favourite oat milk brand and I was buying it and I saw that they did pistachio flavour. It's so good, it's so good. However, new Ryan wasn't gonna go through that, so we have in fact got two. One from me, his and hers, and then Delilah's. We're just, so many milks. Got my mug. Matcha we are having at the moment is the reformed vanilla. It's really nice with pistachio. And if in fact you are outrageous, like me, and you want to, and you would like this to taste It tastes like the M&S big daddy pistachio chocolate bars just add a little bit of vanilla syrup and too good it's too good do you know i will still never not be okay about the fact that i got that as my wedding gift from my mum and then he released the most chic velvetizer i've ever seen a week later jail it's my wedding present so i can't exactly just go and buy another one impatiently waiting for this one to give out so that i can get the new one Unfortunately they're very sturdy but also very happy because obviously it was a lovely wedding present. Anyway yeah I went to the gym, had the best time. Never have I ever been as happy on the Stairmaster and the treadmill as I have been with my current read which we'll discuss later but I had some good quality time with the Court of Splintered Harmony because those chapters be long. So long. She's ready. This oat milk foams really well as well. Smells so good. I don't think it should be smelling this sweet, so it probably means it's got so much sugar, but I don't care. I don't care. Like I said, not really drinking this for the health benefits. Cheers. I have to show you this quickly. Whilst I'm, I'm meant to be cleaning the living room, but I'm also snacking on the only thing, like this is one of those days, we have nothing in the fridge, I'm hungry. My friend went to this place called Bayon. I always get confused because there's a B-May Bakery and a Bayon both good, one is in Breton, one is in Hyde. I've never been but all I hear from my friends and family is how good it is. One of my friends went, thank you Brooke, she went the other morning and she bought me this, this is half the croissant, maybe not even half, this is a small segment, it's basically like cake, pistachio and chocolate panna chocolate. It's without a doubt the best I'm not a sweet person. My sister-in-law Lucy, she loves going to a bakery, a sweet treat place, a sweet treat and a coffee kind of place. Actually, what we're doing later this afternoon, it's not for me. Aside from the nine months I was pregnant and then I was a sweet treat kind of girl, 24-7. Literally got to week nine and we landed in New York and I was like, if I were pregnant, I would have eaten this in literally five minutes. But I'm on day three and she's still good. It should work. I would highly recommend, even though I haven't been. But just off the back, but just off of tasting this pan of chocolate, you're coming to Brighton. You need to go. Apparently, they open at 6.30 and normally when my friend goes, all the croissants are sold out. So go early. I'm coming back to you. Thank you. Anyway, not me picking up Delilah's pyjamas off the floor. Please ignore anything you see in the background. It's Delilah's world. We just live in it. Also, this tent. Like I said, Delilah's world. We live in it. Things are changing around here. I am making some big changes to the house. Like I said in the previous vlog, we have... Color coming in through the front door. I am obsessed with this. I'm really happy with it. We finally have both lights up. I actually don't think I showed you in the last vlog. We actually only had this light up. We did not have the other light up. One of them arrived with a piece missing so I had to wait. Finally sorted. Absolutely love it. No installation necessary from an electrician. Fabulous. A very cheap way to spruce up the wall. Love the red print but in addition to it If I am thinking, we're going to have to use our imagination a bit. Could I have just AI'd this? Yes. But I prefer to use this in these. Why is there just a rooster sat on my sofa? I don't know. Yeah I think I like it. Yeah I really like that. I think it just finishes it off quite nicely. You kind of wish these were like maybe different sizes. Yeah I love them and then I think they tie the print on the... I'm saying I think Ryan secretly hates these but it's not really worth it telling me now because they're on the wall. He hates animal print But I'm slowly. He doesn't know I'm slowly sneaking animal print into the living room. I don't know what he's got against animal print. I love, I'm obsessed with a zebra print at the moment. Like I did, I did lose the battle on a leopard print rug in this living room. No, a leopard print, a zebra print rug in this living room. I did find a really nice deer print one which I'm wondering if I could just like trick his boy brain into believing that the zebra print is like spots, like just circles, dots. Dots is the word I'll use. Good morning. I don't even know if I have that much of a voice this morning. I'm unwell, of course. Today of all days, I would be unwell. And today of all days would be when Delilah has decided to have minimal sleep because she is also unwell the night before. I literally am, like, I can feel, like, my whole something at the back of my throat is just so swollen to the point where... I woke myself up like every five minutes snoring last night like so this is so weird that there's nothing it's so dry But just something like around here right at the back of my throat is just odd It feels like there's a balloon that's just like inflated inside me. I don't sound good Do I oh my god, and normally this would be a day when all plans are cancelled This would do it. This would be a day when all plans are cancelled. Oh my god It's actually I feel like it's straining my voice to speak I'm not going to speak. That's good. However, today we actually have a shoot for my first brand collaboration in two years. I can't believe it's been two years. It's been two years. Like it's crazy. This is very different. This is very different for me. I've never done this before. Like this product. Never ever. I've always done jewellery. So this is very out of my comfort zone. I'm really excited. It's been such a fun process. It's the fundamental of this is something that I'm very passionate about. Like the whole thing is something I'm very passionate about, but like you'll, you'll get it when you see it. Because I just feel like in terms of the things that I talk about quite passionately very much down that route. I can't believe it. But yeah, this today is giving slightly chaotic energy. I am I am unwell. I have two hours to be shoot ready. I also need to pack my case. I have not done that yet. And I not only have to be on time because I have to be on time because I'm, I've essentially accidentally ended up being the star of the show. I was meant to be doing the shoot with the brand founder and she is now stuck in Dubai. So, oh my God, I really just heard like myself gurgle and drown in my own throat there. So basically this is meant to be a joint shoot. For so many reasons in terms of the content it made sense for there to be both of us and like two people. It's now just me carrying this on my back and um am I concerned that my back is not strong enough right now for that? Yes. I am also giving a member of my team a lift to the shoot because we are traveling quite far. It's in the most beautiful location but it is quite far from me and very far for Hattie. Oh my god it was so hard to say that without literally Gurgling. Poor girl's got a journey this morning. But yeah, I have to be on time because I'm now responsible for two people arriving to this shoot on time. And honestly, you would think I would be more stressed. I honestly just think at this point, what else could go wrong? What else could go wrong? Let's not tempt fate with that one. I'm just going to do my usual makeup, but then with a little bit more of a like smoky, not smoky eye, but like more eye. Can you hear it when I, like, suddenly, like, I'm so bad, I'm so sorry to anyone I have to come into contact with today. I would not be out of the house unless it was essential. We have been planning this for a very long time, so this, unfortunately, is. Essential. Well, people wanted to know shades of what I was using. Six, light, medium. Concealer shade was, now you see, what they do is they put loads of stampy things on the bottom, so it's hard to tell, but I think it's the shade Sepia. Roughly, if there was a number, I think I'm shade number five. The contour stick from last week was Toast Soleil Parfait II. There you go. Also gonna be taking some Charlotte Tilbury Magic Body Cream with me. I feel like we're gonna have some limbs out, not too many. It's giving, it's going to give cozy vibes. Some of you might actually also be able to guess what we are launching because I have actually teased it on my Instagram stories, like shown the, shown the product, but it was in. sample packaging but like but it still looked like what it was it just didn't have any like branding on it or anything and I did literally say something is coming and lots of people didn't guess they were like what is what is it and I'm like well it's literally in the frame so it makes me kind of happy that this is like a little bit more unexpected for me because I think everyone would guess that it's like jewelry Clothes that kind of thing. Please make me look chiseled. I feel like my face is so puffy. I feel like under my my whole neck and under here it feels so... I am feeling calm however a little bit nervous about this launch. I definitely feel like since having a baby I always feel on the back foot and I in terms of like where I fit now I don't always feel the most confident. Like there are some things that I'm really really confident with like in terms of like how people speak to me and what I will tolerate like so much more confident but when it comes to showing up on here I always feel a little bit more nervous, a little bit more on the back foot. I do things a lot more on the fly now which can be really fun but it's also I just don't ever know if I'm really like Hitting the mark, if that makes sense. Like I'm not always like mentally 100% in something anymore. So I'm kind of like, oh my God, am I doing the right thing? Am I doing this well enough? I actually don't know because I'm just like, my brain is split between like 3000 different places. I am constantly doing multiple things in my brain at one time. And that just makes me nervous in general when I do anything because I'm not present. Let's go through. Thousands of brushes to try and find something that resembles an eyeshadow brush, shall we? God, all of these brushes. Like, I literally have bags and bags of brushes that need cleaning. I'm cleaning and And... My awful secret is that when I get sent new brushes I just use the new ones and I actually have, no this is not okay, this is not okay, I have two makeup bags full of brushes that just need washing, it's really bad isn't it, there's something going on for like two years, maybe longer, it's really bad, I need to, I'm going to sort that, who knows when but I am going to sort that, anyway I've just fished a grim little makeup brush. Gorgeous hourglass one out of that makeup bag so that I can put some eyeshadow on. This is Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eyes to Mesmerise, which is literally like the most perfect eyeshadow shade. I think it would literally suit everyone. These go on really nicely with fingers, but I just am not in the mood to get. Mucky. By the way, sorry it's so loud. I have my window open because Ryan decided that when he got up this morning with Delilah, around the same time I got up, I slept up here because I was so swollen and snoring like a crazy lady. I was awoken by the smell of, what do you call it, the antibacterial cleaner because Ryan this morning has decided that he was just going to clean the entire kitchen top to bottom, which we love. We love but I since becoming pregnant will always associate like I had a real aversion to the method specifically the method like sprays like cleaning sprays and uh it's one of those it makes me feel violently ill even to this day it's one of the few things that has really stuck with me so when he sprays that i'm like just tell me you hate me like that's the way it translates you would only do that to your worst enemy and then my favorite favorite is favorite is brow pencil i think it's from like blink brows brows is it b brow bar i feel like it's blink but i'm But I'm not 100%. I've had for like two years, it just keeps going. I feel like as a business they kind of made a mistake and gave you a bit too much product in this because it's literally, I've never had to buy a new one. Called L'Oreal Brow Gel. Don't need an expensive brow gel, this is just... Perfect. Oh, Delilah's been at this one. Thank God I didn't have a boy, because if a boy did this, I'd be like, just tell me you hate me. I know I've already made that joke this morning, but it's the sentiment applies. A girl doing it is like, oh, so cute. She loves makeup. Back on my Swede Cloud mascara, which makes an absolute mess when I'm using it, but the lashes, they really lash, and then I use an empty mascara. Because this is a brand new tube and I find that it goes a bit too much. I take a little empty mascara tube and just use it to fan all the lashes out without applying more product. Then we don't end up with bulky lashes, we end up with gorgeous, fluttery lashes. And then I use the excess of this on my bottom lashes as well. Hello bubby! Come here! Did you make it up the stairs by yourself? Hi bubba! Check on me quick. Oh! End is nigh. Oh no, I don't, I definitely don't want that, thank you. Don't need skincare where I'm going. Cashew, matcha. Is it good? Susie, that tastes amazing. That tastes so nice. Pistachio, I'm getting Hattie onto the pistachio. Honestly. Melt. 10-10. I can't. Also, I'm sorry about the state of my car. Having it valeted is on my list of things to do. Right at the bottom, along with the government's 100,000 days until war. And have you not seen the thing where they've done a checklist on what we need to stock up on? And I'm like, that's going to the bottom of my to-do list. So we are on our way. We're on time. We would be early, but someone... decided that it was a good time to play barista so just know the team is watching this just know we would have been happy but priorities i needed a match up for the journey and for my throat it's for my throat yeah it's for my throat my phone's broken i can only take photos on 0.5 it's so pretty i need to get out of the way elena has something for me and i'm excited it's so surreal holding it even when it arrived i was like oh my god it's sweet Yeah, when it all comes together, it just feels so... It's quite a while, like at least a year. Yeah. I don't know if you can hear me behind. Do you think clothes or... I like cosies. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like that would be nice with some shorts. Why don't you do both? Do some shots done up, son. That is such a cute snap. So naked. Imagine if I had... I could just have 45 all sorts. Oh yeah. There's Rosie, honestly. Some UFTs, unidentified foreign tablets. I've never heard of that before. Christmas chocolate. Oh my god, Susie. That looks like it belongs in a museum. It's like a museum. Nail cuticle oil. It's nice and essential. Hairspray, a clip, a thong, pregnancy vitamins, guilty was eating the Quality Street. This is hilarious. Wait, wait, wait. Do you know where I was when I, yeah I've remembered. This is New York. That was bought in an American airport. No, that was two years ago. Oh my gosh. New York 2024. How are we going to eat tonight? Oh my. Is this your boarding house? It must be. He's so fast like a lion in the kitchen. Oh, Air France, where did it go? Oh look, would this not be when you went to France? Because you always take snacks with you. 3rd of July, 24. No, that was definitely an American airport because I never ate it. And there was a lot of snacks from America that I didn't eat because I was scared. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh, as if we were going to get the one single earring. I was really hoping that one would be in there. Yeah, me too. I really thought it would be. But at least we now know. If anyone needs chocolates, Quality Street in particular. I'm just dying at being the same flavour as well. It's so annoying, she would have been so cute. That's not perfect. That's it. Really cute, and I would take a poster. Yeah, really cute. Yeah, gosh. Yeah, lovely. Lovely. I bought that wasted. You're going to be on Bake Off next year. I imagine. I am the last person that should be on Bake Off. Unleave the candle. It's giving scared. Who's singing? Outfit number two. Hilarious, I love it. I love it. Yours and Yasmin's content, like, on the mood board is so beautiful and professional. And then there's me, this is what I bring to the table. This is it, when you turn around and sit. Oh, in fact, that's the, it's the night before. Yeah, yeah, I know right now. Okay, it bodes well that you know. Ready? Eric comes from laughing and it's not holding them in place. I think, I think holding... Right, should we try one more and try for the match lead? On your face. Do you want me to save that one? Yes, please. Um... I'm going to zoom in and see if you can see my tears. It is. Before Christmas, when all through the house, that a creature was stirring. I was like, I think I'm covering the line. No, no, no, it's fine. It's everywhere else. I'm like, what's happening with me about what I'm doing? I need a make-up touch, shall we? I love that. It's got more pepper in it. I'm But that just reminds me of summer. starting There's crumbs everywhere. And then I love the Sunday one. I'm going to do any going to live there. Ready? Yeah, go. Okay, okay. to Cut. Have you got all of these taped? speak Yeah, two, okay. I love now. you. Guys we're wrapping. We're wrapping. The headband is still on. I never ever in my wildest dreams thought that the headband would stay on this long. But it's cute. Very cute. Right where am I going to prop myself? No you're fine. It's going to be in the back, like that, in the deep. Tempted to just sit in the bath. They do. They look really cute. I'm really happy with the pics. Bye. The lighting is good. Let's try in here. Alright, let's get her off. Oh. I'm back! Hi! I am very excited to show you what we are launching, finally. I teased this, like I said this morning, I teased this so long ago. Welcome to Kodo, Susie Rinaldi, candle. The most autumnal, festive, it's like, it's like a nice hybrid in between an autumnal, festive candle. It's called Butter and Spice. It basically smells like a cookie, a good kind of cookie, like literally, you know, like cookie dough butter. That is, that is what we're talking here. Gorgeous brown packaging. She is delicious, like this whole cabin smells incredible. Brown butter, almond, cinnamon and vanilla. And honestly like I have never smelt a better smelling candle. I'm very very proud to say she is so gorgeous, so gorgeous. I have had this burning in my house basically like the whole summer which feels very unseasonal but there were no complaints from anybody. Literally ever. Everyone was like this smells so good and these are all lovely and like non-toxic, like really really great. I love because obviously having Delilah and the dog in the house and like Ryan is so funny about smells. Kodo has changed my life. They also make the most amazing, I think people have seen me talk about them before, the most amazing room sprays and the reason that this came about was because I dm'd them, I was like I love your room sprays so much. They replied, I was like oh my god you should definitely do like a diffuser or a candle with these, this would be incredible. They put me an email and the rest was history. It makes my mouth water every time I smell it. You guys will know I've always loved my house to smell like baked goods from the moment you walk through the door. And if you want that same vibe going on in your house, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, one and all. This is available to buy. Right now. It's available on pre-order. We ship on the 26th of November. It's available to pre-order from today so you can get it locked in in your basket. It is limited edition. Once it is gone, it is gone. But hopefully there is enough for you all to enjoy and I'm so, so excited. So yeah, this is how gorgeous Little candle. I actually am not taking this one home with me. I still have the original product sample that's not in its lovely packaging. Numbers are limited of physical versions in our hands, so we need this one today to product shoot. So I'm going to be leaving this one here, but I'm so excited. Enjoy, enjoy her. Okay, right, we are wrapped. Let's get home. I've got a date with my book in my bed. Why is it bright yellow? Guys, diva is down. diva is down. i haven't had a lem sip since i was about eight years old and i basically hated them so much and didn't want to drink them that i would take a mouthful and take it to the bathroom and spit it out and i would do that repeatedly until my mum thought that i had drunk the entire lem sip. desperate times. got a 30th birthday this weekend and uh i would like to attend. ellie this is for you. oh god the smell. oh it's so bad. just don't breathe it in. oh this is gonna take me 5 000 years to finish. to the inventor of lemsip, why? and also to my husband because why? why are we buying the lemon flavor? this is what happens when you do too much. this is what happens when you take on too much. you don't know because you don't take on much. you just live here, rent free, stay home all day, get some treats. what a life. you okay babes? okay. You don't move from this pillow much today. Your dad took you to the pet shop. You got some pick and mix, doggy pick and mix, delicious. You're so small. How are you that small? I could've just rubbed my face cream all over you. I'm so sorry. Ah, no, I can't. I can't. Maybe I shouldn't have made a cup. You can't really see it. Maybe I shouldn't have made a cup this big. I'm gonna get cozy in here. I've got an hour until I need to pick Delilah up. We're going to push some Mormon wives, maybe a heap of Kardashians. Oh, there we go. Just a little ambiance. I've got my Kodo sample candle. Also have a little by the fire room spray. This is honestly such a delicious room spray. They complement each other really well. FYI, whilst you're on the website, they complement each other so beautifully. It's a nice little setup. I still need to get those up. Maybe that's a task for next vlog, me, mom and wives, like when is the new series coming out? I need to know. Oh and Secret Lives of Orange County, oh I can't wait, I believe it's coming soon. This is the best reality show by the way, because they are just acting like they're still normies, like they're not flame, like flamers. Like they're not famous and I just love it. You know you're not with it when your husband just catches you fully sat staring into space. I was literally like mouth open. It's me and my Lemsip against the world. This is a very strange pre-30th birthday celebration. Eve. Never before have I been so sick but so covered in sun tan drinking a Lemsip. It did actually make me feel better so we are moving on to Lemsip number two. How many Lemsips is too many Lemsips? Let me google that before someone shouts at me in the comments for overdosing on Lemsip. Four sachets in a 24-hour period. I'm fine. Despite being so very unwell I have actually in fact had the most productive day of my whole life. It actually makes me question my life before having a baby because I was never ever this productive. I am about to get so very snuggled up. Like why would you not have a pregnancy pillow? Like why does everyone not just have one? It makes sitting in bed so very comfortable and who doesn't love to be comfy in bed? I don't know. I don't know that person. So yeah just just buy one. Honestly just buy one. I'm back on Golden Song which I was halfway through when I got distracted by Die Bound for book club and then got distracted by Furybound, Fruitfly and and then moved on to A Court of Silver Flames which I have finished. I gobbled this up and I knew I would and I wasn't even going to try and hold back quite frankly. I think I finished it in three days And it definitely does. what it says on the tin. did enjoy it. i know a lot of people didn't enjoy it but i think we knew it was going to be kind of similar to a novella like A Court of Frost and Starlight where she's kind of setting up the next stage of the journey which is what Frost and Starlight did for Silver Flames. this is not a harmonious book as the cover does suggest. that's not really that's not really a spoiler. i personally feel like This did work. The Fellowship of the Ring did for Lord of the Rings. Honestly, it actually does go down the Lord of the Rings route. You heard it here first. My brain, I am a genius. If you know, you know. If you haven't read it, like, I don't, I can't say more because it will be such a spoiler. I am disappointed that most of our POVs feel like they're from Asriel, who ain't the jolliest guy, let's just say that, because I'm really trying to give a spoiler-free review here. And then a lot from Feyre, who is a really unreliable narrator, and there is actually a very good example of that in the book. So, like, sometimes I just feel like I feel like you can't take her version of things at face value, which is why I'm grateful for other people's POVs. Love all the Nesta. Give me all the Nesta. She is just the best. I am so very, very excited for January. It's going to be a much longer read. I'm so, so, so bummed for that. Can't wait to do that for book club. My plan in between now and then is... Finished Golden Sun because I really do love this book series so so much. I probably won't do the final of the three until next year now but then I'm going to go on to Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, Onyx Storm. And then somewhere in December I really would like to do The Alchemist. If you want to do it for book club let me know. It is reasonable to consider that we could do a larger book because The Alchemist is like would be I think the biggest book that we would have done yet for book club. So... Let me know thoughts. For those that asked last week, book club is still running. I've just not yapped about it in quite some time, but we are still over there having a very, very good time. This month I'm actually giving away a copy of Fury Round. It's not every month that we get a treat, but I try and make them as frequent as I can. So making my way through the Fourth Wing series, Alchemised, and then by the time I'm done with those, we should be ready for ACOTAR. So that was my reading plan for the depths of winter and once I'm done with all of those I might pick up the third installment of this but I still have Bunny and to finish Fruit Fly. I've got a lot of books on my TBR but anyway I'm gonna do my little red light situation. So that is gonna be it for me this week. Very excited. 10am candle launch be there. Love you bye.
