VLOG | Jewellery, Skincare & Good Weather
hello hello i am just filling up my uu hot water bottle which can only mean one thing and that is my period is here and the first two days are always excruciatingly uncomfortable so i have to get the ew hot water bottle out and if you are a person that suffers from quite bad pms pmt you know period pains whatever you want to call it i cannot recommend this uu hot water bottle enough once i filled it up i’ll just show you why it is so good so it is essentially a hot water bottle that is shaped in a very long oh it matches my jumper her cheek a very long snake like shape that you can like tie around you because it has this here and then a loop that you can tie onto so i tend to get quite bad pains sort of like in the middle of my back so i can literally just tie this obviously i would do this underneath my jumper but i would just tie it round like that or when it’s exceptionally painful here again just tie it like that sometimes i like to kind of wear it across the body as well but you can basically just sort of like wear it on your body however you wish and it’s honestly my saving grace during the first two days because i don’t know what it is but as i get older the first couple of days like the pain that i get in my back it’s just getting worse and worse as i get older like i don’t know if that’s a thing so i’m just gonna put this under my jumper i don’t know if that’s a thing but i just find it so unbearably uncomfortable and i do sometimes take painkillers but i don’t like to take unnecessary painkillers i don’t know if anyone else is like that i just don’t particularly like taking paracetamol on urethane so the hot water bottle is like the next best thing for me it relieves that um discomfort quite quickly oh i can feel it working it’s magic already so you can kind of guess how my monday is going to be in the next couple of days i just managed to complete a sub 55 10k which means i did the which means each kilometer was under six minutes i think my pace was under five minutes 50 the whole way around which i haven’t been able to maintain for a long time i don’t think i’ve done that since last summer so i’m really really pleased with that some things that are helping me with running especially especially kind of the longer distances is trying my hardest not to stop within like the first three kilometers because sometimes when i start a run even within the first kilometer i want to stop and a lot of that is a mind over mata thing i think so many people struggle with that just kind of this urge to stop when you really don’t need to stop because i find in those first sort of like three kilometers that’s where i’m figuring out my breathing my posture my stamina and i’m really like easing myself into the run so if i stop it kind of breaks up it breaks up not only the run and my my rhythm but it kind of breaks up my mindset and my concentration i just don’t find it helpful to stop within that first three kilometers and then once i kind of get to three i’m in a really good pace and a really good mindset and then i just keep going and then after five it’s it’s completely fine another thing is trying not to look at the floor i can sometimes go through an entire run and realize i’ve just had my eyes focused on the floor which is dependent on where you’re running like depending on your terrain obviously you want to keep an eye on the floor but sometimes i forget to take in what’s around me and if i just remember to just look up ever so slightly and just take in what’s around me that can completely take my mind off the kind of battle that running feels like sometimes sorry i’m really thirsty i love running but there are times where i hate it and there are times where it is a battle with my mind to get through it and if i just kind of change literally what i’m looking at it can completely change the run if i just all of a sudden concentrate on my surroundings as opposed to just getting one foot in front of the other it completely changes my mindset and i’ve learned that from the um the headspace runs i learned that trick and another thing is trying not to go back on yourself so planning a route that is a full loop in rather than a straight line and then going back because it it keeps the run different and it makes the run feel kind of new and exciting the whole way around i find that as soon as i stop to then turn around and go back along a track i’ve already been on it feels repetitive and i because i then know that route i’m i start sort of getting a bit restless and kind of almost counting down the kilometers because i’m like right i know that there’s one kilometer left or there’s two countries left because i’ve already ran this part of the path or whatever today i did go back on myself but i rarely rarely ever do it i only do it if like today i basically wanted to do bang on 10 kilometers so i knew if i ran in a straight line in five and then just turned around when i got to five and i know i’d get bang on 10 at the same point where i started but if i’m doing kind of a bit more of a free run that where i don’t mind tracking my pace too much my distance i will do like a full loop and just like end it wherever it i feel like ending it but yeah today i just wanted like a solid 10 kilometers i didn’t want to go under or over i just wanted like bang on 10.
so that’s why i went back on myself so yeah they’re just three things that are helping me and the other the other thing that always helps is refreshing your playlist it i cannot i mean that’s probably my number one tip is to keep your playlist fresh because it’s easy to get bored of the same songs over and over and maybe try to listen to songs that you don’t necessarily know or would listen to normally like my running playlist is full of a lot of music i wouldn’t really listen to kind of outside of running it’s a lot of i don’t really know the genre dance music house music the kind of stuff you’d find in the charts maybe it it’s not the kind of music i listen to day to day so in that sense i find my running playlist quite exciting because it’s something completely different that i don’t normally listen to and i try and change it i try and swap out songs at least every two weeks sometimes i do it weekly if i if i can find new songs to put on it so yes that’s that’s my kind of like four running tips for you did i say i was going out for lunch i don’t know what i’ve said and what i haven’t said anyway i need to go shower because i need to leave the house in an hour to go and bike to a friend’s house for a cup of tea so i shall see you in a bit i am washed dried and dressed ready to go i did that all in under an hour i’m very impressed i think that’s got to be a record for me i am now about to go and bike to a friend’s house and i’m quite nervous because this is this will be my second solo bike ride i’m very very very used to going out on the bike with dean but i need to build up my confidence and actually start going out on my own because i want to be able to just use my bike as my kind of main way of getting around the city basically so i need to get used to biking on my own i’m i’m nervous but i’ve planned a route that basically avoids most busy roads it’s along the river it’s very scenic and the route kind of ends at the bottom of my friend’s house at the bottom of my friend’s road basically so it should be okay it’s just that initial fear of being out on the bike on my own but i’ll be fine i’ll be fine this is what i’m wearing i know what you’re thinking a long dress on a bike is that not a bit silly but yeah i don’t think it’ll be too much of a hindrance i have ridden my bike in plenty of long dresses before i’ll just sort of like hoik it up a little bit i’ve got my rose sandals on oh this is the arquette dress by the way the one that i got tailored and showed in last week’s vlog i’m also wearing some new jewelry some new earrings and a signet ring and a bracelet i’ll talk about those when i get back actually because i’m running late so yeah i’ll talk about the new jewelry when i get back so wish me luck and i shall see you on the other side round off dude okay so my absolute favorite one of those ever i can never remember but this just watch it i love this film it’s a bit of a cult classic modern cult classic i did it i’m back i got this safely and i got home safely and i really enjoyed it dare i say biking on your own is more fun than biking with someone i don’t know i just found it really fun biking on my own i felt like a very independent person on my bike plus the bike ride was lovely anyway i’m home now as you can see and it is absolutely roasting out there i fully intended on coming home and having myself some soup but i just i can’t i can’t be having a sleep in this weather i’m not complaining this is the kind of weather that we have been craving for quite a while here in england but yeah it’s too hot for soup so i’m going to try and make myself i say try i am going to make myself this isn’t a hard thing to do make a kind of lunch of crudites you know like cucumber carrot some hummus i’ve got some guacamole and then i’ve also got these uh plant-based rolls from higgerty they’ve got mushroom miso and seaweed in them so i’ll heat those up and then i’m going to go sit in the garden and enjoy this sunshine let’s talk annihilation because i’ve just finished it and i don’t think i liked it and i’m absolutely gutted i got halfway through now i’ve got about two thirds of the way through and i thought i loved it and then actually realised i don’t love it and i’m gutted because when i read the blurb it was exactly it you know it was really up my street is exactly what i wanted from a book i thought this sounds awesome i felt very very detached from the entire book and i think that is partly because the narrator herself is detached from the experience she doesn’t understand what’s going on so the way she narrates is very detached as well which in turn made me feel detached from the entire story i felt like i couldn’t really grab anything and really hold on to it i felt like i was constantly on the edge of getting into the story and then before i knew it the book was done and nothing made sense there were no answers like nothing nothing even hinted at making any sense i just was like what what did i just read and i know it’s a trilogy so i’m wondering whether there would be answers in the second or the third book but yeah it wasn’t quite what i wanted it to be and it’s the style of writing is lovely actually lovely i don’t know let’s take that back the style of writing is really good nothing wrong with the style of writing but i think in part it was too atmospheric if that’s even a thing it was so atmospheric at points that it almost became a bit dull and i couldn’t visualize anything which is surprising because i had seen at the start of the year i saw the film adaptation so i was thinking great i’ve seen the film i really enjoyed the film can’t wait to read the book however the film experience and the book experience two completely different things i would say they are complete separates there there were a couple of elements from the book in the film but i just feel like they’re two completely different stories so in that sense i almost couldn’t visualize anything that was reading in this book because it was completely different to what happened in the film basically so in that also i think attributed to me feeling quite detached from it because i couldn’t even like visualize what was going on and i get it like the the group of women in the story they themselves don’t even understand what’s going on like they can’t make sense of it all and also something i did wonder was the the more i guess affected the narrator is by all of her experiences and the more maybe like delusional she’s becoming like you just don’t know what’s real and what’s not real and i was wondering maybe the narration of the whole story just becomes more and more kind of confusing because she’s confused as well like she is losing sense of what’s reality what’s not reality doesn’t know what’s going on so you’re basically having the exact same experience you don’t like you don’t know what’s going on so yeah quite hard to sort of like anchor myself to the story i wouldn’t say it’s a bad book and i would never say to someone don’t read it because i think it’s one of those books that’s really divided people i’ve read a lot of reviews about the book and there’s some people who just adored it and that’s just the way it is that’s the way books are you know like they’re not made for everyone to love but i don’t think i’ll read the trilogy just yet i won’t continue it just yet i i will continue it at some point i think but there are other books that i want to read more so than this trilogy but i think for someone who likes a very like atmospheric uh i don’t even like it’s not post-apocalyptic but it’s kind of otherworldly you can go online and read the um the blurb and all that and see for yourself but i wouldn’t say don’t read it i’d say give it a go it’s a very short book which can be read quite quickly i just struggled with reading a bit so it took me a while so yeah that’s my uh five minute review of annihilation i’m dining on my own this evening because dean’s out but before he went out he very kindly prepared dinner because he thought he was gonna be back in time for dinner but he isn’t going to be back in time for dinner so i’m enjoying it on my own and i’ll show you what it is it’s this spinach and chickpea curry from the deliciously ella quick and easy book and i’d say it looks pretty good i mean the light in here is terrible at the moment but it does look more appetizing than it looks on the viewfinder right now i’m gonna sit and eat this and i think i’m going to start watching girls i’ve never watched girls it was one of those programs that had so much hype surrounding it when it came out so i don’t know why i never watched it i think the time has come for me to finally start watching girls me oh foreign i feel like most of this vlog has been me in the kitchen but i’m back in the kitchen preparing a salad because we are going to the barbecue it has been roasting today i think it got to about 33 degrees around 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock so we have spent most of the day sat in the garden and i’m just preparing stuff for the barbecue while dean cleans the barbecue we’re just going to wait for it to cool down ever so slightly so that it’s more pleasant to sit outside and eat because at the moment i think it’s a bit too hot to sit outside and eat so i’m just prepping everything so that it’s all ready to go um started a new book which i shall share with you bear with me yeah so obviously finished annihilation i’ve spoken about my thoughts and actually the more i’ve thought about annihilation the more i’ve realized i really didn’t like it i still stand by that it’s not a bad book but it was just not my kind of book anyway i’ve moved on to something new i’ve moved on to the dutch house by anna off my eyes are watering a little bit after those spring onions i this was recommended via goodreads after i read pachinko you know like it was if you enjoyed pachinko you might enjoy this i’m only two chapters in and i’m really enjoying it i can just feel it’s the type of book that i’m going to really really like so i will keep you updated as i continue to read this and then let you know my thoughts when i finish it but so far i’m feeling very excited by it i’ve got a good feeling about this one i just had to have a very brisk cold shower because i was getting very sticky and sweaty and just felt gross so i’ve put on a different bikini now this is the zulu and zephyr i think it’s called the bra cup bikini top i’ll leave the details in the description box obviously the blue one that you would have just seen was the mateo bikini top i love the mateu one i wear it all the time but in terms of security and just comfort and the way a bikini makes me feel i think i prefer this zulu and zephy one zulu and zephyr one sorry this one i feel a lot more secure in this one this is definitely the bikini that i would wear if i was to go swimming and i find this one i don’t know i think this one’s a bit more flattering i mean like i said i love the mate one and i wear it a lot i feel like if i was to go jumping in the sea in that one it might not keep me covered up whereas this one i feel very secure not that there’s much to secure but you know i still feel secure nonetheless wearing these uh linen loose-fitting trousers from arquette these are such a godsend in weather like this they’re just so comfortable and lightweight then i’m wearing my ro ginza sandals and ray-ban wayfarers we’ve got salad halloumi some tomato and onion for the burgers some what’s this ginger and soy salmon then we’ve got oh there’s flies everywhere um burgers i’ve got a beyond meat burger some chicken and what’s under here oh burger buns lovely thanks dean should we cook the dessert yeah yeah yeah i’m going to put pineapple on the barbecue it’s the first time i’m trying this but dean had a barbecue with some friends a few weeks ago and one of his friends bought some pineapple with cinnamon sprinkled on top to put on the barbecue and dean said it was brilliant so that’s what we’re having for dessert i imagine this will be nice i quite like hot fruit and i like caramelized fruit and i can imagine that the cinnamon will complement it it’s been has it been sat marinating in that bag so the pineapple’s been sat in a bag with cinnamon i can smell it through the bag yeah cinnamon and maple syrup oh cinnamon and maple syrup and what you’re gonna just gonna grill it put it straight on the barbecue yeah as is okay i’ve got an open mind okay use your fingers could you use more cinnamon oh my god it’s so sweet yeah maybe some more singing this girl looks good oh my sensitive teeth didn’t like that have that hmm i mean it’s like making pineapple even sweeter no i think it makes it easier to eat like pineapple’s very oh it’s making my teeth oh there’s something about the aftertaste that’s really hurting my teeth songs to i am exceptionally sweaty right now so i apologize if that is translating on camera i actually have sweaty top lip and sweaty chin i just had to tear myself away from reading the dutch house otherwise i would have sat and read that for the entire day i’m really quite enthralled away at the moment but i needed to come inside to get ready for the day because we are going out to see dean’s parents in a bit so i’m now dressed i’ve done my makeup and partially done my hair i mean you know there’s only so much you can do with your hair in this weather not complaining though not complaining and i thought this would be a good opportunity to show you the new jewelry pieces that i’ve been wearing throughout this vlog and that some of you might have clocked already now just as a full disclaimer this section of the vlog is sponsored by maduri which is the jewelry brand i’m about to talk about however i’d like to think that due to the nature of what i’m talking about and the way in which i’m talking about it this doesn’t seem out of the ordinary and the styles that i’ve picked don’t seem out of the ordinary but i just wanted to be fully transparent so that you know the next few minutes are sponsored by majuri so i’ll get started now for the past like six seven months i’ve been trying to basically build a kind of collection of or a wardrobe of jewellery basics in the same way that you create like a your wardrobe basics you know like of your basics of t-shirts and things like that i’m trying to do the same with jewelry because as my style has changed over the past year so has my taste in jewelry and so has my kind of like need from jewelry i’ve never been the kind of person who layers up lots of jewelry i love the way that looks but it’s not really my style i’ve always been the kind of person that wears like one statement piece of jewelry and then nothing else like a statement earring and then i keep the rest clean or like a statement necklace and keep everything else clean but recently i’ve been leaning more towards wearing kind of quite fine dainty pieces of jewelry every day that can just be worn with practically anything the kind of jewelry that you don’t even notice you’re wearing it just it’s just the jewelry that you wear every day i just wanted some everyday jewelry basically and the pieces that i’ve picked from the jewellery did i just say my jewelry the pieces that i’ve picked from majuri i feel are exactly that now all four pieces i’m about to talk about are 14 karat gold just fyi because some people might ask i’ll start with the earrings first now those of you who have watched my vlogs for a while or you know watch them regularly will know that i pretty much wear gold hoops every single day like it’s the staple piece of jewelry that i always always wear and thought i would try something a bit smaller because the hoops that i normally wear are probably maybe like double or triple the size of these these are very small and they’re very dainty but i like them a lot i have worn them every day this week and i’ve slept in them and pretty much don’t even notice they’re there which is kind of the point of trying to collate this wardrobe of jewelry basically it’s the jewelry that i want to wear that i don’t even really notice it’s there but it does slightly add something to outfits so these earrings are ideal pretty much they are very small very dainty i think i just said that there’s not much to say about them they’re just a really nice pair of hoops and a very nice size then i’ve got this signet ring now my hands are quite small they might not look small on camera but i am a i am a small person and dean always jokes i’ve got like the smallest little finger he’s ever seen so rings can be a bit tricky for me i find it quite hard to navigate rings so i tend to go for things that are very minimal slim line don’t kind of attract too much attention to my hands basically sorry my nails are in terrible terrible condition at the moment anyway this is the the signet ring i think it’s just called the signet ring and as you can see it’s smaller than your average signet ring i think when we think of a signet ring we think of something that’s a lot bigger and chunkier but this is a lot more slimline the top is like completely flat i don’t know if you can see that you can also get the top engraved i didn’t but i think just a few initials would look lovely on the top of there or actually maybe just one initial would look really nice on the top of there i’ve been wearing it on my pinky just because the the past couple of days it’s been quite warm so my hands are quite swollen but it can also fit on this finger as well if my hands weren’t quite as swollen so at the moment i’m just wearing it on my pinky because it’s more comfortable and i quite like how it looks on my size hand i think it’s a very very good for my size hand i’ve also got this chain now this is very dainty i love this a lot and it is adjustable you can see there you’ve got a um so i might just stand up so you can see this a bit better you’ve got a i don’t even know what the official term for this would be but you’ve got some slack here so you can adjust the size of the bracelet i’ve got it on the fourth hole the fourth loop i think so that it doesn’t travel too far down my arm i don’t want it to be too big so that it sort of rolls all the way down i prefer it to sort of sit just um under my wrist bone so yes that is very dainty i love this piece i think this is one of my favorite pieces out before and then i’m also wearing a necklace that is of it’s basically identical to the bracelet exactly the same size chain and also is adjustable we’ve got a lot of slack here so that you can adjust it depending on your neckline because i think with kind of like everyday necklaces it is a little bit difficult to find something that accommodates every single neckline you know like a v-neck a high neck a crew neck so the fact that you can adjust this is great because today like today i’m wearing quite an awkward neckline i’d say but i’ve put this on the smallest hole that it can go on and it sits perfectly just above the neckline but i could also put it on sorry this is going to be a really flattering angle i could also put it on a much lower hoop and then wear it kind of over the dress oh quite like it like that just worn but you know what i mean like sometimes you’ll put on a neckline like a say like a slightly higher t-shirt and then your necklace completely disappears and you can’t see it at all so they are the four pieces i have acquired from a jury and i’ve worn them every single day this week pretty much and love all four pieces these are definitely going to be kind of like staple additions to my jewelry wardrobe so to speak good morning i’m now about to head out and attempt to run 10 kilometers however it’s very warm and i had a curry for tea last night so this could go either way if you know what i mean it could be great or it could be a disaster we shall see i’ve got a much lighter weight top on today because i am anticipating getting very sweaty i’ve also managed to get my hair in a ponytail i feel like a real pro runner today i was like actually my hair is perfectly capable of getting into sorry not a ponytail plait my hair is perfectly capable of being put in a plait now because it’s like long enough so i feel like i’ve really accomplished something with my hairstyle today so yes let’s see how this goes i did it i um knackered after that it was so warm out there but i did it and without bragging too much i kept my pace under 5 30 the entire way round which i’m very pleased with but yeah i am knackered after that i was really really hot my face feels gross so i’m going to go shower quickly just wanted to share which running app i’m using because i’ve had a few questions i kind of alternate between the nike running club app and strava i much prefer the interface of the nike running app i find it’s much easier to use it doesn’t quite go into as much depth as strava does that strava can really analyze your runs in a way that i don’t even understand sometimes but then again i don’t know anyone who uses the nike running app so i don’t have any like friends or followers on there whereas strava feels a lot more like a community there’s i’m following a lot more people on there it’s a lot more interactive like you can give kudos to people it feels like a much more of a community thing so i’d say strava is better than the nike running app but the nike running app obviously has the um the guided runs which are really really good so i kind of flip between the two i’ve been using strava mostly recently because i upgraded to strava is it called strava premium i’m not sure but i’ve upgraded so now that i pay to use strava just because i wanted some slightly more detailed analytics with my running and my roots and there just seems to be some quite good features when you upgrade so i have done that so yeah i’m going to stick to strava for a bit um but i do have an app called run gap which basically syncs any runs that i do in the night run app to strava and any runs i do in strava to the nike running app if that makes sense so i don’t lose data depending on which run i use because they both sync up in the apps basically but yeah i think um strava is the better one of the two in terms of what you can do with the app right i’m showered and clean and feeling much fresher now i’m going to talk skincare very quickly oh my battery’s about to die hold on right that’s better back in action i am placed an order on space and kay’s website last week and i got a bit carried away um i only actually bought four items but that soon racks up to quite a lot of money i repurchased two items and then bought two new things um i repurchased the drunk elephant sea tango multivitamin eye cream because i had ran out and i really like this eye cream i have seen quite a significant improvement in the sorry i should really be patting shouldn’t i in the darkness under my eyes i don’t think i’ll ever see a improvement in the um oh the sun is blinding me i don’t think i’ll ever see an improvement in these sort of like i guess bags that i’ve got under my eyes but they are just hereditary but that’s just something that i have um but yes in terms of dark circles it’s really made quite a difference and then the other repurchase was the drunk elephant sea firma day serum their vitamin c so it’s gone really dark now i was considering this is like my fourth one of these i was considering buying a completely different vitamin c but to be honest if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and i think this vitamin c is really good i’ve been mixing it with the b hydra intensive hydration serum after someone recommended it like recommended me mixing them don’t know why i didn’t think to mix them together because that’s kind of drunk elephant’s whole ethos is to mix products together and i previously said that the texture of the vitamin c isn’t very nice but if i mix it with the b hydra the texture is fine it um glides on much much nicer when the two are mixed together and then the two new products that i purchased are tiny for their price so i ran out of retinol i was using the beautify retinol but to be honest wasn’t hugely wowed by it and then i was using a drunk elephant retinol and i just thought you know what i want to try something new because i’ve got so many drunk elephant products i actually want to try a new retinol so i ordered this one from paula’s choice and as you can see it is tiny i picked the travel size purposefully because i wanted to just make sure that that i liked the product and i actually really like paula’s choice as a brand i’ve used a few of their products previously but it’s just one of those brands i kind of forget about but everything i’ve used from the brand has been really good so this is the one retinol treatment with peptides and vitamin c and i’ve been using it so far i think twice a week in the evenings and then the other product that i purchased which is probably what made my order so expensive is the sunday riley luna sleeping night oil it’s that really quite scary blue one i’ve never tried anything from sunday riley and i’ve heard so many good things about their sleeping about this oil and about their oils in general so this is is a retinol as well so i’m kind of like i’m i’ve only been using this like once a week um it says here luna works throughout the night to deliver visibly more youthful looking luminous even-toned skin in the morning trans-retinoic retinoic acid ester complex reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles while visibly improving the signs of premature aging fine lines uneven texture age spots dryness and dullness then it talks about the blue tansy and the chamomile oil um so yeah i guess i kind of bought two retinol products that i’m alternating between this seems like it’s maybe more gentle than this retinol treatment um i can’t really say much about it just yet i mean i’ve only used it maybe three times so far i’ve had a bit of a breakout i don’t know if you’re gonna be able to see it’s kind of healing now i had a bit of a break out this side of my face i also had um a breakout on my nose at the start of the week i think that’s partially due to hormones and being on my period and it could be to do with just getting quite hot underneath my mask when i’m out i had to wear on the train for about an hour the other day and then the next morning did notice i had quite a few kind of like blocked paws it could be from the mask i’m not sure i don’t know it could but then i was like oh is it from this i don’t know but i’m not ruling anything out yet i’m going to continue trying this out and trying out this as well but yeah they’re the four beauty things i brought from space nk i’m quite looking forward to trying those two out and then next week i was going to try and get my eyelashes tinted and uh lifted but they’re still you’re still not able to get any um facial treatments here in england at the moment which is fine it doesn’t like i’m not upset about or anything i’m not angry about it um it just means i’m now going to try and i’m going to try and tint my lashes up by myself i’m not going to try and do a lash lift because i’ve read that that is like don’t even bother trying that at home it’s really dangerous so i ordered the eyeler lash tint in black i believe this is in i tried to look for a brown but i couldn’t find a brown one um so yes i’m going to try that next week because the sun has basically bleached a lot of my eyelashes i’ve got a lot of um very very fair eyelashes and it’s making mascara application a bit frustrating and annoying i’m finding it difficult to excuse me i’m finding it difficult to coat all of my eyelashes um so i just thought you know what i’m gonna try and tint them myself and then all i’ll need to do is curl and then i’m ready to go so i will of course vlog that and see how i get on with that i’m not very good with stuff like this at all i’m just about to sit down and edit this vlog together i’ve poured myself a glass of wine and i’ve got myself a bowl of very posh crisps and i thought i’d quickly talk wine because i haven’t really mentioned wine for a while mainly because i’ve had to i’ve been going through a few bad bottles that i haven’t really enjoyed however i’ve recently just finished off a wine that i absolutely loved and have just opened a wine that i’m very much enjoying so i’m just going to prop you on a box and very briefly talk wine i’m not the best at talking about wine oh i thought my camera was going to fall over then um the first is this i was about to say brand not brand wine maker that goes by the name tester longer baby bandito it’s from south africa and it’s a skin contact wine so it does have that orangey amber color to it very clean very very easy to drink it’s the stay brave when i i know there’s several that have this label and then they’ve got different names this one’s called stay brave delicious i i don’t know what else to say absolutely delicious i bought this from a cafe local to
