romanticising my life and having more fun | spend a chill weekend with me

0:00 [Music] It's Friday and it's the end of a pretty just boring week filled with just work and routine and things like that. And recently I have realized that my response to stepping outside my routine or doing new things is I don't want to do that. I'd rather stay home. And that part of me needs to die immediately because what do you mean? I'm literally in my early 20ies living in London and I'm not taking advantage of being spontaneous and living my life. Like I don't know what has caused that part of

0:47 me, but we need to work on it. So, this vlog is all about me just trying to inject some more joy into my life, breaking out of routine and just wanting to work 24/7 because that's just not a cute look. Okay, we're about balance and we're about happiness. So, today is Friday. I've been doing a few little work bits this morning and right now I'm about to head to the gym. It's 11:00 a.m. Normally, I do the gym first thing every morning to get get out the way and then work for the rest of the day. But, I actually have a yoga class at 12:00. So, I'm going to go to the gym now, work out there, and then at the gym, I can then finish my workout with a yoga class. It's a type of yoga I've never done before. It's ha yoga, which I think is going to work for me. One of my goals this year is to regularly do yoga because it's a great way to work on your energy, which is one of definitely one

1:33 of my priorities. So, I'm going to do that. Boyfriend's coming along as well, which is really nice. And yesterday, I was craving Greek food. So, he said, "Let's go get Greek food for lunch." So, we're going to do that. And then I think I'm going to do some baking tonight as well. All in all, it's going to be a fun day. It's going to be a fun weekend, and I'm going to take you guys along. So, let's head to the gym. [Music]

2:27 Workout done. Going to the yoga class now. [Music] and breath [Music] up. [Music] Exhale back. [Music]

3:21 Oh yes, back from the gym and got our Greek food because I was craving diarrheos yesterday. We've actually never eaten at this place before. And we also haven't been getting takeaway really that much recently cuz we have meal delivery. So, this is a really nice little Friday treat. We're going to sit and eat together. Also popped to the shop. Did a quick food shop because I want to bake later. So, got supplies for that. And also, Jenny and Georgia season 3 dropped yesterday. I haven't watched any of it. So, tonight I just want to sit on the sofa by myself, binge like my good little show. I've got my snacks. I want to make a little Beverino and just enjoy myself. Yoga was good. There was definitely a lot of bits that I was struggling with and were really difficult, but there were also a lot of bits that I really enjoyed and just felt relaxing and it just felt good to stretch and just do something different. However, Boy was fighting for his life

4:06 so hard it was so difficult for me to contain my laughter. I couldn't deal. His vein was popping out of his forehead. His face was red. He was like literally fighting for his life. I had to just stop looking at him otherwise I was going to burst out laughing in front of the entire class. It was a good time. Hi baby. You going to have lunch with us? This is what boyfriend got. It was just like a little chicken bowl. And now for the reveal of mine. I got a gro. So it comes with all the salad. I think I got chicken sulaki and then these gorgeous seasoned fries. Oh, that is heavenly. M I don't know how to eat this. I might have to get nothing. Yeah, you get bread at the west. Good bread, though. It's 3:00 in the afternoon and I'm in my jammies because I'm actually about to

4:52 film a YouTube video for my main channel for my guild talk series, which is like a totally different layout. I've done many, many episodes if you haven't seen it. Um, and it's basically where I answer your guys' juicy dilemas. And I'm sat in bed with my PJs on. We're eating popcorn together. And it's just a cute vibe. I have every single time I filmed an episode has always been at night time, but now that it's summer, it's not even going to be night time, like dark until 10 p.m. And I need to be asleep at that time. So, we're faking the nighttime nurse. Don't tell anyone on the main channel. I'm feeling very good about myself now that I'm finally filming this video. Most of you, if you've been watching me regularly, you know that Tuesdays are my filming day. Like, that is when I film my YouTube videos. What is going on with this claw clip? Okay, ponytail it is. I've just

5:38 been putting off filming my main channel video all week because I just haven't been in the right not even headsp space but energy to film it. Like normally I'm ready. I get it done. It's amazing. And this week like every single day I've just been waiting for the right feeling because when you're on camera, you know, I need to be there with the right energy. It's not necessarily something I can always force myself to do. And today I have the energy. You know why? Because finally the sky is blue and this is the most sun I've seen in like 10 days. It's June. Why am I having winter blues in June? You know what? I don't even want to talk about it because it's gonna get me depressed all over again. What matters is we are ready. I'm gonna go into the bedroom and film this video and then we're going to have a really nice evening. [Music]

6:31 Welcome back. It is that time again. Girl talk Q&A. You send me your biggest dilemas and I give you the best solutions. So get cozy, put your cutest PJs on, grab yourself a beverage and some popcorn as always. But boy are the questions juicy today. I'm just looking at them over here on my screen. We are going to be talking about red flags, being stuck in cycles, toxic friends, how to have healthy relationships, self-love, mindset, envy, reaching your goals, and so much more. So buckle in cuz we're about to get started. That is so cute. Are you joking me? You see how cozy this room is right now? Do you see this mood lighting? Now, notice my new diffuser. I literally got

7:17 this 2 days ago. I'm obsessed. I think about it every day. I got this from Neon. I've been eyeing it up for the longest time. Every time I'm in the store and I see it and I'm like, I'm not going to get it. I don't need it. Best thing I ever purchased. Best money. It makes this whole apartment smell amazing. It's so cute. I love the little light. It's so cozy and I feel like it just adds to the ambiance and the vibes that you need on a little cozy girls night, you know, girls night or just me binge watching Netflix and boy sitting through it even though he has no idea what's happening in the show cuz I'm going to be watching season 3 of Jinny and Georgia. But guys, I made the brownies. I fully baked them. I'm so sorry I forgot to vlog it. Um, boy's family came over for like an hour or so and I was baking it while they were here and talking with them. So, it like I forgot that I was even vlogging today. But, they're all gone now. We're cozy. We The brownies should be done any

8:02 moment. So, I'm going to show you guys. I discovered this healthy brownie recipe about like maybe a month ago and I've made them. I think this is like my third time making them. They hit every single time. They are soft, they are gooey, they are moist, they are so sweet, and the base is literally avocado and it's got no flour in it as well. I'll put the recipe on the screen over here for you guys cuz I know so many of you on Snapchat have been asking me and since I didn't vlog it, here's the recipe. Try it for yourself. I promise you it will not fail you. Anyways, right now I'm going to head over to the kitchen with the boy. We are preparing our snacks. He is putting a bunch of fruit into a bowl. I'm going to make myself a cute beverage. Get my snacks out. [Music]

9:05 I fear I have never been so happy in my life. The snacks. The reason I'm so happy right now is because I haven't had a show to binge in so long. I've just been re-watching old stuff. By the way, the brownies are cooling right now, so I'm going to be able to show you guys them in a little bit. But we've got an amazing spread right now. We got oranges, popcorn, a cute little mocktail I've made for myself. You know what? Debate right now. Everybody comment your opinions on this debate I'm about to share. We had a bunch of friends over the other day and I was making mocktails for everyone. And all of the guys disagreed with like whether it's necessary to always have like a cute drink with like a lime. And even though this is a mocktail, like put it in a wine glass and it just makes every motive better. And none of the guys got it. And you know what? the girls in the room, they were like, "Yes, a little drink, whether it be an ice latte or a little mocktail, just makes

9:50 everything better." Like, what is the science behind that? I don't know. But it's making me so so happy right now. [Music] You know, I mean business. Going to put the glasses on. Okay, everybody be quiet because it's my time right now. Stack the rubber band to distract yourself. My mom. She said that. You said forever. You said that and now you're [Music] brownie is cooled. Are you guys seeing this fudginess? Oh.

10:36 Oh yeah. Oh my god. It's so good. Oh my god. Phenomenal. It just hits every time. Okay, back to Jenny Georgia. I'm so happy right now. I am Mr. K. My pronouns are he, him. Good morning, everyone, and happy Sunday. The sun is out and boyfriend and I are going to head out on a date day today. So, I thought I would take you guys along with us to see what we get up to recently on our dates. We haven't been doing like really specific plans anymore. We're just really enjoying being spontaneous. We booked somewhere

11:21 nice for lunch, one of our like favorite places that holds a lot of memories for us because we went there when we first started dating. So, it'll be really nice to visit there again. And we're just going to be out and about. There's this new smoothie place everyone's talking about that I really want to try. But honestly, just gallivant, go around in London, enjoy the sun. I'm here for it. I'm doing some nice makeup because I was literally just at home all day yesterday. So, I want to be a little bit glam today. Rare Beauty Blush. And I just got this like last week and I've been loving it. It's the Iconic London Illuminator. I've really been liking this. I've been getting so many compliments on my makeup recently and I have to say mostly it has to be down to this palette that I got not too long ago. But because I'm a cool toned girly, finally doing my eyeshadow with cool tones that aren't too dark and gray has

12:08 been a game changer. I love this palette. I think it's so flattering on me. Today I also used a new foundation, and I rarely switch foundations, but this has really impressed me. It's the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15, 24-hour matte foundation and oil control. Normally, I get an oily T-zone, so I can't wait to see what the situation is going to be like at the end of the day. Really liking this. It blended in so nice and I'm loving like the coverage and the base it's given me. I'm just really excited for today. I woke up so excited. I can't wait to just be out and about. [Music]

12:58 Okay, I'm ready. And I am obsessed with this look. This dress is everything. I have waited so long for this dress to arrive. It's from a designer named Mona Shabil. And I've just paired it with this leather belt. I already had these earrings. Statement earrings are from Mango. And then my Pauline bag. I love this outfit. I feel so so cute. Okay, it's only right that we follow up with fragrance of the day next. So, I've moisturized with the EOS vanilla cashmere body lotion. Then I went in with my Juu body oil to just prep my skin for my fragrance. And then I'm going to be going in with my newest fragrance. This is the Tom Ford Vanilla Sex. So, I just wanted to prep my body. Oh, I also went in with the Victoria

13:43 Secret Bare Vanilla Body Spray. So, we're going to be very vanilla today. Here's a better look at the full outfit. I just love the way it flows, the structure. Okay, let's head out to lunch. [Music]

14:29 Hey. [Music] Hey. Hey. [Music] Okay, we've just ordered our food. I've got my little cordino here and we are at Madison's in St. Pauls. So, we actually went to this restaurant, Madison's in St. Paul's um around the time we started dating and I would say it's like that date is so memorable for us and it's up there with like one of the most romantic dates we've ever been on. So, we came at night time. So, we traveled down to London for the day. Wife took me to a museum exhibition. Now the first conversation we ever had was online and we met because of this museum exhibition

15:16 we were talking about online. So then within our first few dates he took me to London from the Midlands took me to this exhibition then we came here afterwards and it we were still in the process of like getting to know each other and we were doing like this deep question game thing to really get to know each other and we got a bit tipsy. We were drinking with each other and it was like the first time I felt like I'm really falling for him. By that point, he had already fallen there. Um, so it's really cute to just be back here and all the memories always keep flooding back. We've never had lunch here before, so really excited to see how the food is. We both ordered steak and fries. Um, it's a gorgeous day. The view is beautiful. And then we're going to go out and about probably in Marone. I know I'm always there, guys. I'm really sorry that I have shown Marone a lot in my vlogs, but it's just our favorite place to be.

16:07 [Music] when The store right next to the restaurant you just had lunch at is just casually the store that also stops. So, let's go find it. Would you look at that? Never go like ever.

16:58 Leave that one as well. We are waiting for our Uber right now to head to Marabone and we're going to go to this place called Morenna Marina. Maralone. It's what everyone's been talking about online and we're going to get I'm going to get smoothies from there. My boyfriend wants to try their cookies. That was a fun little experience. But as for the food at Madison's, feel like we both pretty much thought it was average. We've had dinner there before. I've loved the dinner there. Don't get the steak. Yeah, the steak wasn't the best. Maybe the other things on the menu were good. The dinner we had there last time we went was really good. And the dessert platter they had was really good. I think it's like more of a cute drinks place, you know, with the view, the sun, and the vibes. The vibes were immaculate, though. I am glad we went. It was a really nice thing to do. Now that it's finally sunny for the first time in days. Oh, and in honor of the first time we ever went to Madison's, and we were doing that deep question thing, we remembered the Tik Tok guy's

17:45 name that posted those deep questions and we literally haven't gone in his account in like years since we first started dating cuz now we normally use question card games or we just make up our own questions. So, that was like a really big full circle moment. And so we sat there, we ate our food, and we were just doing all the deep questions for the first time in so long, which used to be our favorite thing. Like all of our dates in the beginning, we would go to like a bar, we'd go to a restaurant, and we'd do it all. [Music] All

18:43 right. [Music] It's genuinely 100 out of 10 for me. Would you agree? Boy, forges. That is going to be my new spot to hit up every single time I'm in Walabone. I don't know why I've never been in there before. Amazing. So good. You know, I'm not even a smoothie girl like that. This is phenomenal. This is what I imagine an air1 smoothie must taste like because this is straight up addictive. I got the tropical passion. We've got a matcha who really liked it. And the cookies. When I went to the US, I had crumble cookies. The merina cookies 10 times better. They're not like too too sugary and

19:28 sweet, but they're so soft and gooey and decadent. Love it. Anyway, now we're going to go to my favorite designer store. [Music] Hello there. [Music] That's

20:15 [Music] Back home now, guys. It's like Oh, it's just turned 5:00 in the afternoon. So, we were out for like 4 and 1/2 hours and we are both exhausted. And on the way home, we were like, we're actually such sissies. Like, why can't we not handle this? I swear like our date dates weren't even dates. They were date days. Like we used to be out in the morning through to the afternoon, then we'd have dinner, we'd watch a movie, we'd come home, we'd do like a whole day. And I don't know what's going on with us, but we can like barely do we can just about

21:02 do like a 3-hour date now. But it ended at the perfect time because we always forget it's Sunday and everything closes early, so we would have like walked around and gone to more places, but we literally couldn't. We went to Selfides, had little brows around, didn't buy anything, but it was fun regardless. And then we went down all these little lanes and like explored some independent shops, which is really nice as well. And then we were both ready to come home. I've never needed a match more in my life. So, I've done this. Um, and now that it's Sunday evening, I just thought since the theme of this vlog is just me just trying to romanticize my life a little bit more, trying to inject some joy into it rather than just going around like my mundane must have to do routine. I just want to make time for things I don't normally make time for. So, I really want to have a bubble bath this evening, guys, because ever since I moved the glam room in here, I now have a bath in the on suite. I have not used

21:49 it once because it's just something I never make time for and I want to change that. So, I am going to run a really nice hot warm bubble bath. Then, I want to get into my cute PJs. Want to read a book and then I'm definitely going to snuggle up on the sofa and watch some Jinny and Georgia again. So, yeah, I'm going to do that. I just want really nice chill vibes this evening so that I can feel really nice and well rested by tomorrow because Monday onwards it's just going to be work work. Okay, let's go run a bath. [Music]

23:13 Yeah, like everybody. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] End of the day and the vlog, guys. Thank

23:58 you so much for spending such a nice, chill, enjoyable weekend with me. I have to say that bubble bath was so worth it. Initially, I didn't even want to do it. Like I felt like I wasn't having a bubble bath cuz I wanted to. I was doing it cuz I was like I literally never do it. I have to like force myself to make the time for it cuz I know it's good for me. And like setting it up was I felt it was such a chore. The second I got in I was like it was incredible. And I was like I can't believe I never make the time to do this. It was just what I needed. It was so relaxing. And I think when you go so long without it, you forget that all of those little self-care rituals and routines actually do make such a big difference. And I popped my cozy PJs. um had dinner with Boy. I actually finished Jinny and Georgia. It was really good. The ending

24:44 of the season was insane. Not going to spoil it for anyone, but yeah, I basically binged the whole season this weekend and it felt good cuz I actually haven't binged a TV show in a long time. I also just came into the glam room to do an evening journaling session cuz I actually didn't do it this morning. But also recently, I've wanted to try out journaling in the evening. For years and years and years, I have only ever been a morning journaler. That's just what I like to do. I like to do all of my healthy, productive habits in the morning, get it out the way, and then for the rest of the day, I don't have like to-do list things lingering on my mind. But I want to try this out to see if it's going to make a difference. One, with my sleep, and two, with the dreams I've been having. So, we'll see. Hopefully, I will update you in future vlogs. I'm actually vlogging again tomorrow for the vlog that will come out the week after cuz I got a busy week

25:30 ahead. So, productive vlog is on its way to you. And right before I go, I would love it if you guys could comment and let me know if you prefer longer or shorter vlogs. So, I'm talking like 20 minutes or 40 minutes. Um, and if with each vlog, do you like it to be centered around just one day and for me to go detailed into that day? Or do you like it when it spans over two, three days like this vlog? Let me know because your feedback means so much to me. And I just want to be making sure you guys are actually enjoying all these bugs. The cats are literally fighting right now, guys. They love flying fighting in the glam room. They literally think this is that own personal wrestling ring. I don't get it. Of course, she's going to be mature and walk away the second I get my camera out. Chai. Yeah, I know you know your name now, don't you? Yes, you do. Anyways, that

26:17 brings us to the end of this weekend. I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. If you did, please comment down below. Let me know what you thought about it. Thank you so much for being here and watching. For those of you who obviously know that I'm not uploading on Sundays anymore. I'm kind of uploading whenever I want to. Thank you for your support in that. It's honestly meant the most. I have seen all of your comments and it's so reassuring. And you know, even having the opportunity to vlog today on a Sunday, which normally I never do cuz the vlog has to be out by Sunday, felt so nice. I feel like I could just be a little bit more relaxed and spontaneous. And even though I'm wrapping up a vlog today, I decided I want to film again tomorrow for a different vlog. So, I feel like ever since I let go of the schedule, I've actually been like just following my intuition more. Now, this process is actually so much more enjoyable. So, thank you to everybody who understands and appreciates. I appreciate you. Have an amazing week.

27:04 Bye. [Music]
