House & Life Update, Try On Haul, Gym Thoughts + Hair Tutorial • Day In My Life | Emily Philpott #Ad

Hi guys welcome back to my channel or welcome to my channel if you're new here, i hope, you're all really well, i'm gon na be basically doing a little kind of follow me around type vlog. I have a pretty average day, but i have a few fun things going on, so i thought i'd bring you along on my day to day i'm looking a little bit crazy at the start of this vlog, because i was literally just about to do my hair And i realized how many questions i keep getting on how i do my slick back buns, if you guys follow me for a while you'll know that is my absolute go-to hairstyle, i'm going to talk you through that at the start of this vlog. So hopefully it's helpful, but i'm also really excited to say that this video is very kindly sponsored by hollister. So i'm going to be showing you some very cute pieces that i picked up from them recently and i feel like you guys, are going to be obsessed. I have loved hollister since i was like 11 12., so this is very exciting, but they have such nice pieces in for summer, so we'll get into that a little bit later, um but yeah for now. Let me just really quickly show you how i sort this mess out things that you're gon na need. First of all, this is honestly like day four hair. I hate to admit it, but the older, the hair, the better you can obviously slip back fresh hair, but it kind of hurts my heart to like wash my hair fresh and then literally sneak it back and put all the products in it and so yeah. This is day four hair, but you want to get yourself a big paddle brush to kind of like push all your hair back into where you want it to be um, and then i always use this, which is literally a lifesaver for any slip. Back. Look like half a half down any look that you want to smooth your hair out with this is amazing. I got this on amazon. I think it was literally like seven pounds i'll try and find the exact one and link it down below, but they have loads of these ever since i've been back in the uk. Hay fever has really got me. So if i look like i've been crying at any point in this vlog, i haven't i've, probably just sneezed anyway amazon. They will have loads of these. If i can't find this exact one, but you want like a tight bristle brush because they are the best. Then essentials that i find work really well for me, i always damp my hair damp, my hair dampen my hair, and so i've got this little spray bottle. This is actually a soldier's narrow body spray with water in it. So there's no body spray in here. I just refilled it with water and it's just like really easy to use most of the time i'm doing my hair in the car, so it's nice and portable as well um, so yeah, something to dump in your hair. You can even use like a leave-in conditioner, which works really. Well, i always say the best thing to use to slick your hair is actually a hair mask and because it treats your hair as you've got it in the style and also when you then put hairspray over it. It damages your hair a little bit less. It'S still not great, but putting your hair mask on just allows it to have that kind of treatment, and i should actually do that today, but i have no idea where a hair mask would be in this house right now. So i'm not going to do that. But then last thing you need is or second and last thing you need is the hairspray, your favorite one. I'Ve got this l'oreal annette one. It'S not my favorite, because i find that this stinks. Does anybody else find that, like it kind of smells like in a nice way possible my nan anybody just used to use this all the time? So it's like a nice nostalgic smell, but it does definitely like stay on your body like if someone walks past me they're wearing this, i can tell they are so i usually use the got to be glue. The best like hands down the best your hair will staple all day. I do also have the whey pomade and i sometimes use that, and it is really good. But i do feel like it's kind of overpriced, like you, could literally buy a men's wax for about five pounds and do the exact same thing. If i'm being completely honest. But it is a really lovely product that if you want to treat yourself or like as a gift or something and then the final thing you obviously need is some hair bands. So my little trick with this, i actually have one in already so i'm going to use that one, but i used two of these super thick ones and then you'll see, but i put my hair in a ponytail with these two and then these are the hair Bands that i use to actually put my hair in the bun. They are so good because, with this like spiral effect, they literally grip hold of every single hair and it stays put for so much longer. So yeah get yourself some of these, like springy kind of ones. I don't know what they're called, but i will try and link some as well. I'M sure they have all of this stuff on amazon to be fair, so check the description. If you don't have any of these products, that is everything you need. I am going to start with my hair now and, like i say, we'll talk you guys through it. Where is in not great shape, but it's all disguised when you put in a slick background. No one will ever know so, i'm literally just going to take my little water spray bottle and spray it all around. Maybe the front to be fair. I don't really dampen my whole hair. Just like the front bits. I just find it so much easier to work with but, like i said, if you were using like a hair mask, it would do literally the same thing and, if not be so much better for you, okay, so that's that i'm now just gon na take the Big puddle brush and brush all of my hair kind of up and back and just to get it in the right kind of place so with the sides. I take the brush like parallel to my head, so i literally push this straight back and then, as you go up, you want to kind of like angle it it's really hard to explain. I hope you can see what i'm doing but kind of as you go around you just angle, it all straight backwards. So again, here i'm going to kind of go at this angle: push it like up and round or like back and round and then once you're back to this side. You want to go completely parallel again, it kind of doesn't matter what your hair looks like at this stage, because we will perfect it with the smoothing brush, but you just kind of want to get it at least going the way that you want it to so Now my hair is kind of slicked a little bit. I'M gon na switch to this brush and grab. My hair bands always make sure you've got your hair bands on your wrist because it's nothing more annoying than getting your hair perfect and then having to rummage around to find your hairbands. But anyway, i'm gon na basically gather my hair and brush as i go. So i'm going to just let you watch this, and hopefully it'll make sense. So as you can see that brush literally smooths it all so well and i've basically just tightened what i did. So it's now just in a super tight ponytail with all of the hair going like back and round. You want to try and leave like a little parting in the front. You can make this parting a little bit more defined. If you want to you just kind of brush it a little bit more down around, if that makes sense, i mean i'm literally running errands today, so i don't need it to be perfect, but you want to then just tie your hair into the ponytail. Also, i think i saw was it chris appleton. I think it was chris upton basically say that when you're doing this hairstyle, you want to try and line your bun up with your brow bone, which i don't think i've done here at all. But apparently that's the most flattering: that's how like bella hadid. Does it so yeah? If you can get it that perfect, then amazing, but, like i said it really doesn't matter too much. I'M just gon na kind of pull this as tight as i possibly can pre-warning. You probably will get a headache if you wear this hairstyle all day, but it's worth it. It looks cute if i had like nice freshly curled hair. I would also leave it as a ponytail, because i do think a slick pony is very cute as well, but today the ponytail was not it's not the one. Before i tie it into a bun. I do like to just give it a little bit of a spray of hairspray and then we will like lock it all in place at the end, so i'm just gon na spritz these bits and then brush it. I find that doing it that way around. It means that you can actually like slick the hairs back into place, rather than doing it with your hands. I'M actually just going to go all the way around and push it all back like this. So then, to tie the bun, it's literally just like any other bun that i feel like we've all done at some point. In my life, i'm just gon na twist the hair and as i twist i'm gon na turn it around on itself and keep turning until it's all in place like that, and then i'm literally just gon na take this hair band and twist it around. As many times as i possibly can - and that is pretty much it most of the time - you'll probably have a little bit that sticks out, but i personally quite like that. I think it's really cute. So i just play around with this a bit and kind of pull it into the right position, but i'll probably leave it like that, and that is how i do my slick back burn. I feel like i've got so quick at doing them, because i do them all the time, but with practice i promise you will get there like. It seems a little bit complicated, but once you get the hang of it and i feel like you'll get into your own routine of it and like what works for you, it's super easy. I personally don't have any extension, so i feel like it would be. I know it is harder to like slick your hair back if you do have extensions, but that's why i feel, like you kind of need to find something that will work for you. I'M sure there'll be so many tutorials on how to slick your hair back. If you do have extensions, that might be a little bit more useful but yeah. That is just personally how i do it, i'm just gon na hairspray the crap out of it right now, so it stays in place all day and then again i just smooth that all down with this little brush, i do find, if you have the um molly Mae beauty wax brushes. These also work so well like they're pretty much the same. I do prefer this a little bit more, but if you do already have these, then honestly they are just as good so yeah. That is my hair. You can probably see it from the back as well in the mirror. I just this. Hairstyle is just the best like gets off your face, especially if you are running around doing errands. All day like i am um, it's really practical. It still looks cute on the topic of hollister. Like i said at the start, they are very kindly sponsoring today's video, so i wanted to quickly run you through a mini haul, starting with the outfit that i have on today. These cargos, i'm flipping obsessed with them. It'S taken me a while to get into the whole cargo trend, but i have found my favorite pair and i'm running with it. These are honestly the comfiest trousers i have ever put on my body in my life. One thing i would say is, i definitely went up a size a bit too much like. I have tied them in the back here, but if you wore these with like a big hoodie, which i definitely have been for the last week, i can't lie um that obviously hides the back. But i definitely would say you can stick true to size in these because they are meant to be that kind of oversized fit they're, just honestly so comfortable if you haven't got into this trend yet because i don't know about anyone else, but i feel like all Of them aren't really my style like a lot of them are low rise, and i mean you can make these low eyes if you wanted to, but i just don't really wear stuff like this. I much prefer like a mid-rise to a high-rise like a high-waisted kind of trouser is definitely my go-to and i feel like these are the perfect in between, like they're still super flattering, but they are still some very cute cargo trousers. So i have just paired it with this really cute little black top. I am just going to overlay a clip of a cute little black tank top that i got from hollister and so i'll link that down below because they had so many different kind of patterns. They had more girly ones. I just went for like the black ribbed graphic tee, so that would obviously be perfect to build these cargos, but yeah. These are such a dream. Definitely check them out. I want to say they have them in more colors. I need to kind of jump back on that and buy myself a couple more pairs because i'm wearing these way too much already. Then we have some gorgeous pieces for summer. If you're going on any holidays, anytime soon definitely check out hollister, mainly for their swimwear. I actually have one piece to show you um, which i wore all the time in egypt and when i went recently so yeah. If you haven't checked out the swimwear is so so cute. All the pieces are lovely quality as well, but back to this really cute little summer dress. I wish i had this when i was traveling, because this would have been perfect. I feel like it's the perfect little day dress, so freaking comfortable, like i feel great in this. It'S the most gorgeous thick material, but it's not like too hot. I don't think it's double lined. I think it's just like really good quality, basically um, so it doesn't need to be double lined. But how cute are the details on this, even just with like little trainers or some boots or something some sandals? It'S really really comfortable, like i feel like you could just throw this on head to the beach. You could probably even dress it up to be fair like now, i'm looking at it. You could definitely do something with this for the evening, but to give you a little bit of a close-up of this kind of area, i also love that it's a halter neck, so you can make it fit. You perfectly like you, can tie this as tight or as loose as you want, depending on how much support you want in this area, but this is gorgeous like so so cute. I also love that it's not like a bodycon dress. It does kind of flick out at the ends here. It just makes it a little bit more comfortable and i've been seeing a lot of dresses like this go around on tick tock and i think there's some infamous ones that are very, very expensive. So if you want that kind of look but a lot more affordable, then definitely check this one out so just quickly. Speaking of the swimmer section that they have on hollister, like i said, i'm going to insert some pictures of me wearing this, you can see it on, but this was the bikini that i took away with me and i actually have two of these because fun fact. I didn't think this order was going to come in time for when i went - and i really wanted this to take away with me, so i ordered it myself um as well, so i now have two, which is great, because i can literally wear them to death, But the thing i love most is they have all of these gorgeous designs. As you can see, this is like a really cute floral design and they do these kind of bikinis in every single style. So if you like this floral pattern, but you aren't so keen on the shape of this bikini and you prefer something else to maybe suit your body type a little bit better, then they will have this in all the designs that they have on the website. So they'll have like a bando style and they'll have more skimpier kind of ones, but this is like my perfect style, it's more of like a bra kind of fit, so it has this kind of underwire to it, and then you can adjust the middle bit. You can tie it as tight as you want at the back as well. You can also adjust the straps, which i think is so important, because you can just make this fit. You perfectly yeah. I love that this offers a little bit more support. If you are a little bit bigger busted, i could not recommend this style more, so that is the top, and then the bottoms are my perfect, like dream bottoms, if i ever came out with a swimline, this is what the bottoms would look like. They are super high-waisted. They have that kind of a dip in the middle, so they're super super flattering. I did get these in a large, definitely stick true to size in this one where i should have got these in a medium, and they are just a little bit too big, so yeah stay true to size and you'll be absolutely fine, but these are just the Best, they are a little bit cheeky on the back, but great for tan lines. I just freaking love this. It'S giving me like all the greek vibes. I think it's the blue and white, but they have so many cute floral designs on there or just like block colors. If that's more, your vibe, like i say if you have any holidays, you need to take some colors to somewhere. So i wouldn't necessarily pair these next two items together, but i thought i'd just throw them on quickly to show you what i picked up. First thing: being this really gorgeous little scarf kind of top, you guys might know if you followed my travels recently. I am obsessed with like scarf kind of bandeau tops, but i do literally use headscarfs they're a little bit risky because you do have to just tie them in the back and kind of hope for the best. Like hope, it doesn't come undone, but this is actually like a bando top, so it has the elastic in the back. So this is not going to fall down. It offers so much more support and a little bit more coverage which i like, but i do personally love a bandeau moment. I think i would pair this with either some denim shorts or even just some jeans and like dress it up for the evening. I just love the color, like this kind of sage green, i'm obsessed with it, so i have just thrown it on with some joggers which, like i say, kind of random. But i just wanted to show you these, because if you want something for traveling in or obviously just landing around the house, they are the best joggers ever like honestly such a nice fit. They are so comfortable, but i feel like they're still really quite flattering. They have a super cinched in waist, so this elastic is gon na fit you perfectly, but you've got room in here like they are comfy and then also they have the kind of cuffed ankle at the bottom. I just love these. They honestly have these joggers in so many different colors. I just personally went for black because i find them super versatile and i have ten thousand black hoodies that i can just pair these with as a little matching set. So i still have some more pieces to go through with you guys, but i need to rush off and get my nails done. So that is the first task of today, so i'm gon na leave those bits for a little bit later um. I still have a couple of dresses that i feel like you'll love and some perfect things for like a beach day, all of the pieces that i am showing you guys will be linked down in the description. So if you see anything, you like then definitely check them out. I will also leave the website linked if you just want to have a little bit of a browse, but i'm going to go and grab myself a coffee and then, like i say i need to i had to get my nails done. I have had these on for four weeks. They are looking worse for wear like we've lost one here, she's half the size she's meant to be, but four weeks, if you guys haven't tried biab, you need to, like this hand, is actually okay, guys. Four weeks worth of growth - and they are my natural nails underneath the only thing i don't love about getting any sort of nails or like acrylics or biab, is your nails underneath are so hard to clean, which sounds so gross. But i don't understand how you keep your nails like freshly cleaned. That sounds really dumb, because i suppose just like a nail brush. Maybe i need to invest in one of them, but yeah four weeks growth they're still going strong, but i cannot wait to get these infilled. I'M also gon na take them down a length. So i'm gon na go to like this length here. I think just do baby pink because i'm missing baby pink nails, but anyway, i'm obsessed with this whole stuff. I literally can't believe that i am saying that i'm working with them in this video, like that is crazy. I feel like, if you're my kind of age or, like my era, hollister all the other brands, like all the other designer brands that were literally our lives when we were younger, like i used to dream about getting a hold of the top for christmas, and now I get to work with them insane. Also complete side note, like obviously they've not asked me to rave about them this much but um. I have found personally as i've got like older and i think it's really easy to feel like hollister is still quite young. I promise you it's not like you say. The cargos are literally sewing right now, like i've seen so many people wearing them, so they're super on trend still and they definitely have pieces that are for an older generation like you will find something that you like, and the quality is obviously there. So i'm gon na stop raving about now, because this isn't part of the ad, but i just wanted to mention that and kind of say how grateful i am that i get to do this stuff, because little me would be literally screaming right now i mean i'm Screaming right now, so she would be losing her. I have just got changed because i'm actually gon na head to the gym a little bit later and i don't feel like i'm gon na - have time to come back and get changed in between so yeah. I'M just in my gym, leggings and i've chucked this hoodie on, but i thought i would just really quickly sit down. I'M actually gon na sit on the stairs. I don't know why, but i'm gon na stop there to just give you guys an update on like the house situations. What is going on in life just have a really quick little catch up. Okay, i always forget how good this filming spot is the lighting's great anyway, as a house update brad, is actually currently at the renovation house today. We always call it a renault house, but so you guys know what i'm talking about. It'S like the other house that we bought to renovate, but we just call it a running house. It'S just quicker and easier to stay. Here'S over there. Today we have progress with that. So much we have a kitchen. We have that's pretty much what we have, but we have got plaster on the walls and it's looking more like a home and not a building site. I feel like the last up that you saw yeah there wasn't any plaster on the walls. I think ceilings had come down. There was electrics everywhere, like it looks so different from when you guys last saw it. So i definitely need to do a updates vlog and take you guys over there and kind of talk. You through everything, show you the kitchen. I am obsessed with it like i literally love it, it's definitely not if you've been following me like, since we moved into this house, you probably would have seen like all the plans we had for this house and everything was like super modern, and we wanted, like An all-black kitchen with like marble work, tops and honestly what we've gone for in this house is the polo opposite. But it's a very different house like it's a townhouse, it's kind of traditional and like old anyway, so we wanted to kind of keep it a little bit like that and have like modern twists on, like an old kind of feel. So the kitchen is definitely a lot more traditional than what we're gon na go for here, but i feel like it works, and i just absolutely love it. So i can't wait to show you that we have a few issues with it at the moment um which we are trying to get sorted like the work top has bowed um. This might be a bit boring to some people, but we've basically fitted a breakfast bar and where it kind of hangs over the top of the breakfast bars and say this is like the cabinet, underneath the workshop kind of sits like this, and obviously when it was Put on it was completely flush, and now the edge of it is literally like this like it goes up and it's only been fitted for two weeks. So we have no idea where that's happened and we are in contact with howlands, obviously to sort that out. But it's just another thing to add to the list i feel like renaults are never ending and there's always going to be something, but anyway our next focus on that is like the bathroom brad is currently over there today, painting, obviously you guys might know he's now, Not working so that is his focus at the moment is getting the house done, um, so yeah he's painting at the moment is definitely coming together. We need to do all little things like put skirting boards on sort. The windows like there is still a lot to do, but i literally can't wait to show you because it just it looks so different. I think in the next vlog i'm actually gon na insert like clips of what it looks like before. We even touched it like when we first got the keys, i'm gon na insert those, and then you guys can see the progress that we've made. It'S been around seven months now. I think so quite a long time, but yeah we are, we are loving, it like it is such a good project and it's been really fun so far with this house. You guys will know that we did sell it and i feel, like selling a house, is so much more stressed than buying a house because we've only ever bought before, and i mean that's stressful enough and like it's a long enough process, if you guys know, then You'Ll know like it's just a long waiting game. There'S a lot of paperwork involved, but selling a house is so freaking stressful, like people pull out at the last minute. That is basically what we had happen and i won't go into too many details because i feel like it's kind of unnecessary, but yeah. We just have definitely been on a bit of a roller coaster with selling this, but we have technically resold it and we are back at the start of the process. So this is all still being sold slowly but surely um, and that is where we are at with this place so yeah, i think that's the house situation's updated. Obviously, once the runner is done, we are going to move into there. So we're hoping fingers crossed in around three months time, hopefully two and a half we will be moving out of this place and into the renault, so i've been moving vlogs, which i'm really excited for brad has actually started packing up the house. I think i showed you a recent vlog. I'Ve started packing up my office and like sorting through all the products i have and just trying to get a little bit more organized, so we're not just doing it all like at once. Another big update, i guess is we are back from our first kind of lot of travels. I think we figured out that we are gon na do a month on month off, so we're gon na go away for a month like we've just been in spain. For a month, if you guys have missed the vlogs, they haven't actually been on this channel they've been on our joint channel that we set up, which is literally just em and brad. I will leave it linked in the description if you want to go and check them out, but you can see what we got up to. We basically did like a little bit of a trip through spain and visited loads of different cities, and it was just the best month of my life, like i've, never felt so carefree. I was so happy to just be away like in the sun, seeing different cultures, different cities like just living, the dream literally like, and i'm so aware of that, and we both feel so beyond grateful like it's just unreal to us that we have been able to Do this so yeah that was kind of our first month of it, and it gave us like a good idea of budgets and stuff, and i think we are going to do a video on that channel of how we kind of planned everything, because i've had so Many questions, so i want to go through it with you guys and like talk through how we booked things and what we did book and the easiest way to do it. We'Re kind of thinking of doing a month on month off. So we've now got the whole of july at home. We'Ve obviously got a lot to sort out, so that is kind of the main reason we're staying home because we've got a lot to do, but also it's been so nice to like catch up with everyone and see friends and family and stuff. And i have actually been given some very exciting news about like mid-august, so i don't think i can say anything yet, but that is going to be very exciting and i literally cannot wait to vlog that. I think i might vlog that on this channel by the way, the only reason that i set up a second channel is because this is like really boring youtube talk. But if you're interested then i'll explain it um. But i just i'm aware that a lot of people commented on my like updating you guys, video that you wanted to see the content on this channel like i didn't need to set up. Another channel you'd still watch it. The only reason i did is because, with my content on this channel, like it's kind of lifestyle, obviously a lot of fashion - and there are like the odd travel vlogs, but with the content that me and brad are putting out, is very much like travel vlogs like You'Re kind of following us around the cities: it is in youtube's eyes a whole different audience, so boring youtube talk if you kind of upload on your channel um regularly, and you have a bit of a niche of like say you just do fashion or say you Just do makeup um or you are more or less a lifestyle channel. If you then start uploading, something really different like. I would never do this. I don't think, but if i started uploading like gaming videos onto this channel, for example, because it's so different from what i've already put out youtube won't push those videos. So you guys literally, wouldn't see them because they kind of decide what you do and don't want to see, which is the most frustrating thing about being a creator on pretty much any platform but yeah. I hope that kind of makes sense like it was better for me to set up a new channel and just kind of start fresh, because it means that if you guys want to go and watch it, you absolutely can. But also if those videos were pushed out by youtube, they would be pushed out to people that are interested in travel vlogs. So it just means that the videos would actually be seen and if it gained a new audience, then amazing like it was just the best way to do it, because that's how youtube works. Sorry that was a long ramble but, like i said, i personally find it quite interesting, um and good to know, because if you are a creator - and you want to kind of switch up, your channel then be prepared for youtube to just not show your videos, because It'S like in its own little world thinking. Well, your followers don't want to see that, because they love a haul and now you want them to watch a travel vlog if that makes sense. So that was the reason behind setting up the new channel. But if you do want to check it out and maybe hit subscribe, then i'd be so appreciative. We are definitely going to be uploading like the odd vlog here and there as well just like our lives. What we're up to and it's not all going to be travel. It is going to be a little bit about us as well, and we want to film like some fun videos as well, i'm just so happy that brad's loving it like. I think i mentioned again in a recent vlog, but the renault um instagram page that we have he is fully in charge of that, like i don't get saying that that is now his he's taken over and he's really loving it like keeping everyone updated. He loves replying to messages he's the best at replying to messages and comments, and i feel, like he's, got his time now and he's like getting really invested in everything so yeah. That is a little update on our travels. I won't talk about it too much from here because, like i say you can go and see everything we've got up to, but it was just the best month and yeah we're gon na be home for july, hopefully away for the start of august. But if not um we're definitely going away mid august, we're just kind of going with it like we're going with the flow, we don't have a set plan, we're just seeing where we want to go and when whatever's cheapest, wherever our friends might be going, we actually Might have a really exciting trip towards the end of the year, with some of our friends that we actually met in coachella last year, that is a mini life update. Like i just mentioned, i am going to the gym a little bit later, so i am still absolutely loving that i don't kind of want to bore you on this video because i feel like not. Everyone will be interested or care really about what i have to say, but all i want to say is that i have definitely found something that i am absolutely loving and it's just making me feel so good mentally, like working out whether it's literally a 20 minute Walk outside whether it is a half an hour gym session, whatever it may be, even walking to and get a coffee with your friend just get yourself moving. I promise it will do the world of good for you and yeah. It'S just any form of exercise. I'Ve. Just definitely found something that i literally love, and i'm super happy about that. I suppose the one other thing i just want to briefly touch on is that absolutely does not mean that i am in any way unhappy with like the way i look. Nothing has changed about the way i feel towards myself. Um, you guys know. I always preach about the fact that your body is literal vessel. It carries you around this world. That is what it's here to do, and it's not here for us to pick holes in it and judge it and be upset because your tummy has rolls or you have cellulite on the back of your legs, or you have stretch marks that could matter so much Less like that is not the most important thing about your body. It'S not the most important thing about you, um. There is much more interesting things to us as human beings. There are so many more things we should pride ourselves on other than the way we look and, like i say that, hasn't changed for me. I think it's no secret that every single person on planet earth will have some kind of insecurity and i don't feel like they will ever be fixed by changing something about you. I think they're fixed by having a different outlook on what our bodies are actually here. For um or whatever your insecurity may be, i think it's all up here that matters so yeah. I literally am working out because i love it. It makes me feel really good mentally. Like i say, um, i've stopped being lazy. That'S the best way. I can sum it up and yeah just making little life choices that aren't necessarily because you want to change the way. You look and i think that's like a really common misconception. It just doesn't mean that i feel any differently towards my body towards what i've preached. So much on my channels and um, i know that i need to definitely put those messages out more on my channels, because i get quite a few messages about it and i've just been super super busy and wanting to show you guys, like so many other things. So yeah, i will find that balance again. I promise i'm getting there um. I just wanted to insert it in here. Gives you a little reminder that the way you look is irrelevant anyway? I am gon na finally go and get my coffee and crack on the rest of my day, but on the note of traveling mom was literally just messaged to say that she's booked our flights to mykonos so me and the girls like me, georgia, sid and mole. We finally have a girls holiday booked again we're heading to mykonos in september, which i'm so excited about um, but yeah most broken flights. So i need to send us some money. I have got my coffee. I am just chatting to george we're going to try and get a date in um, but i'm also going to edit some of this video. Before i go to my nail appointment, my brother annoyingly has covet, which makes me so sad cause he's literally avoided it like this entire time. Has anybody else got it recently that has literally avoided it the whole time because i feel like that is a thing right now, so i need to drop some medicine around to him as well. On my way back but yeah i've got my coffee. I actually put some gingerbread syrup in this, and, oh, my god, it's literally made me feel christmassy, which i feel like. I cannot say because it's literally summer, but it's honestly, like the coziest drink ever anyway, i'm gon na get some editing done. This is the valencia vlog, which i'm gon na put up on the channel very soon um. I think it's one of my faves actually valencia, is one of my favorite places that we went to i'm just on my way back from getting my nails done. I'M so nipping happy with them. I'Ve said it before in this vlog, but if you have not tried biab, it will literally change your life. Look how cute these are. I literally just went for pale pink because i'm being boring, but i kind of love like fresh, pink nails. So they're done, i am now gon na head to drop some golf medicine off to my brother bless his soul, just i'm so so done with covered. Now i'm sure, like everybody else is, i feel like life is very much back to normal, but i hate the fact that people are still suffering with it. So yeah, i'm gon na drop that off to him. I'M gon na grab some lunch on the way home. Um and then get back to editing, really we are having a survey done at our house, obviously for like the buying process um like a valuation on it today, so i think the guy is there now just like going around and sorting that out. So i'm gon na give it some time before i go home, so i don't get in his way, but yeah. That is a little update for now. I really fancy a starbucks. I might get myself an iced coffee. That sounds like a good time right now. I just love them. I also got them a lot shorter as well, because they've literally grown so much anyway. I will check in with you guys a little bit later. Obviously, i've still got the other clothes to show you um, so yeah, i'm gon na head home and i'll pick you back up when something more interesting happens good morning guys it is now the next day we went to the gym last night and then had a Really chill evening at our friends, we were actually planning our coachella trip and because we're gon na be doing like a whole america trip next april, which i'm so excited about. We'Ve got like a road trip planned and we've kind of just thrown new york into the mix, so we're trying to figure it all out um but yeah, that's what we were doing last night. So sorry, i didn't pick up the camera. We just had some dinner at matt, george's and yeah literally just came back home, but i wanted to pick up the camera again today because i obviously have the other hollister clothes to show you guys, which i'm gon na go through with you now and i'm also Getting my hair done so i have just woken up and slicked it back again. This morning george is probably gon na hate me because she's doing my hair today and it's a greasy mess, so i'm excited to get it freshened up. I think i'm gon na go a bit more brunette again. I keep switching between like not blonde and brunette, but, like i always put lighter bits around my face and i keep switching between like having those lighter bits and then making it a little bit more brunette. But even though i am going to go a bit darker today, this will fade. I thought i could bring you along to my hair appointment today as well, and i kind of ran this vlog off at the end of the day and just keep you posted brad is back at the house. He'S painting. I was going to go with him today, but i completely thought i had my hair appointment, so i'm going to go over there tomorrow and help him do all that. So i can also film the updates vlog for you guys, so that should be on my channel. Very soon which i'm so excited about, i just literally can't wait for you to see it. I feel like it looks completely different um and we're well overdue, an update so yeah. That is what i'm going to do today, but i'm quickly going to show you the rest of the pieces that i picked up from hollister, so the first that we have is this gorgeous little shorts and shirt set. I have just thrown on the shorts for now to show you guys. I'Ve just got it on with my little bralette, but these are such lovely quality like they're, so comfortable, really, nice and flowy. They obviously have the elastic waistband, so they fit really nicely. I think i got these in a large but definitely go true to size, because again they are that kind of oversized fit. I think they're also a really nice length like they're, not too short on the back and obviously, if you wanted to pair these, with other little tops that you might have already. You could definitely make so many different outfits out of this, but i am going to throw it on with the shirt and you can see how the set kind of looks together here is what it looks like with the little shirt. I think i would personally wear this as like a beach cover up over a bikini, and they also have this in white, which would be so nice because it will go with literally everything, but i did grab this sand color because i don't really have anything like This in my wardrobe, i also think these are perfect for, like city breaks, if you're wandering around the city, you can pair it with like a little bodysuit or a tank top. You can kind of take this off for the day if it's super hot and then pop the shirt on for the evening. It'S a little bit of coverage. The quality of this is lovely. I wish you guys could feel it. It'S kind of like a linen kind of material, just a really gorgeous little set. You can definitely dress it up, like i said, if you wanted to for the evening or something, but in the day this is just going to be a perfect little throw on. I think this is my favorite item that i picked up. It'S just such a timeless piece, but the quality of this is lovely, so it is gon na last a very long time, but it's just a classic little item to have in your wardrobe, especially for holiday. For summer, just a very sweet, little mini dress to throw on if you are popping out somewhere or even just for like a nice lunch or something i don't know. I really like this. It'S also not usually something i would pick up, but i feel like this little cutout is so me. I love showing this kind of part. I feel like it's super flattering. How sweet is this little dress? It also has a slits at the side. So it's really really comfortable to wear. Like i say, the quality is lovely. It'S like a really gorgeous ribbed material. It'S not double lined, but again i feel like it doesn't need to be. It has so much stretch to it as well. So it's very comfortable to wear so yeah. I think i would pair this with just some sandals or even like some converse, denim jacket, leather jacket i feel like this - could be dressed in so many different ways. It is a little black dress and so i can say a perfect staple and very very handy to have. Then we have another perfect little summer dress. I have actually tucked this one up, because i think i might get this taken up a little bit. So it's a little bit shorter in the front just because if i pull it down, it is a bit of a longer length and i feel, like this kind of style doesn't really suit me. But if you do want a bit of a longer length dress, especially if you're a little bit taller, this would be perfect. But, like i say, i have just kind of tucked it up like this to make it a little bit shorter. But i'm going to get my nano someone to take this up a little bit because i love this again perfect little summer dress and especially in the daytime for the beach or a picnic date. I feel like it's super cute. All these details are just adorable, like with the peplum hem this little bustier detail in the front. It also offers a lot more support than you might think. This one is double lined, so it has a little lining in the bottom here. I think this is so cute and girly um, like i say for like a picnic day or just any summer day. Really this would be a perfect little piece. I'Ve just thrown the cargo trousers back on to show you guys this last item that i picked up. This is just a crochet halterneck top. I feel like these are perfect for holidays. I really really love this top again. It'S double line, so it has this kind of lining on the inside, so it gives that kind of crochet effect, but you are all good you're completely covered. I actually feel like it looks quite cute with the cargo trousers as well, but i think i'd pair this with some denim shorts or like some floaty little shorts again, it's a super versatile little piece that will go perfectly with pretty much anything even like some wide Leg, trousers: actually, that's probably what i'd pair this with and like loads of jewelry down the front lots of gold jewelry. I know they did have it in some other colorways. I just personally love the white. It does just tie up at your neck. So again you can tie it as tight or as loose as you want, and then it has the band kind of running around the back. Here and again this is super stretchy, so it feels really nice and comfortable on, and this is another piece that is a lot more supportive than i thought it might be as an outfit. I think this looks really cute but, like i said there is so much you can do with this. So that is everything that i picked up from hollister a huge shout out to those guys for sponsoring that section of today's video, like i said before, it's literally insane, i get to work with them. So thank you to you guys as well. I will obviously link all of the items down below in the description. If you have seen anything you like the look of or like i said, if you just want to browse their website and have a look um, especially if you do have any summer holidays coming up but yeah, that is my mini haul. I am now going to go downstairs and make myself a coffee and get to editing part of this vlog and before i need to head off to my hair appointment. So a few work bits to do, but i will update you guys a little bit later. I have just pulled up to going to get my hair done, so this is the before i know it's up, but obviously i have the blonde bits um. You guys would have seen it at some point in this vlog. So i will show you the after, when i'm done, but i'm so excited for my hair to just be fresh. I love new hair days. It'S actually my favorite thing. I'Ve also bought my laptop because i need to do it. Work um, so i'm gon na take them with me and yeah i'll see you after my appointment - and this is my hair after i just got out my appointment and jumped in the car, but it is so freaking hot right now, so i'm gon na head home And i will show you my hair properly when i get home. Okay, i'm jumping on the end here to round off today's vlog, and i obviously wanted to show you guys my hair, i'm so obsessed with it. I am also, if you can guess i'm at the running house today, so yeah. If you hear any noises where i was painting upstairs, there's a lot going on in here. I'M actually going to give you a really quick sneak peek, just because i'm going to also film the updates vlog. So you can see that. But this is a sneak peek! Oh my god, it looks so different. This one you're going to get for the kitchen, but i'm going to take you through to the lounge and show you guys that room, because it looks amazing like compared to what it used to look like it looks unreal. There'S obviously still a lot of oxygen here. We'Re going to get the floor sorted, i think we've actually got someone coming over right now to have a look at this. But here is the lounge. I mean she's looking a little bit messy because we've got all the rest of the kitchen stuff in here, but look at this. We have paint on the walls. It'S all been plastered. It looks so good. Like i'm obsessed, i literally can't wait to get some shutters on these windows. It looks so so cozy in here already there's your sneak peeks. For now, i'm not going to show you anymore, because you can wait for the updates vlog, but i'm so excited anyway. Just to really quickly show you guys my hair. This is what i went for so it's still kind of light in the front, but george actually put like some different tones of brunette. So i've got like all different colors going through my hair. Again, i feel like sometimes it just goes a little bit flat and like all one color, so we've brought the lightness out by adding like dark, and i guess they're called like low lights. Are they? I don't really know, don't know the technical term, but i am obsessed. She kills it every time, but yeah, i'm just happy with the bits around the front like having it a little bit darker, i feel like it looks a little bit healthier like it's all lifted. Um, which i love so yeah, that is my hair. I realized i hadn't showed you guys and i wanted to run off this vlog. So thank you so much for watching. As always, and i will speak to you guys very soon, hopefully in my next video bye guys
