[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] good morning my darlings welcome to a new Vlog I have woken up at the Ned after a really wonderful night’s stay here last night as you saw did a super early gym workout the gym here is really fantastic they’ve got a huge swimming pool they’ve got saers hamam steam room and the gym is just beautiful you actually have to walk through like an antique oak paneled uh library to get to the gym and it’s really really fabulous I had a great uh great stretch and morning weight session so today is a very exciting day we are heading off to Epsom Races and um it’s going to be a fantastic day I wasn’t too sure on the dress code I think it’s maybe slightly smarter than chelam but not quite as dressier as aset but for a day at the races you can’t go wrong with Holland Cooper so I have been loving their dresses lately and this polka dot one is first of all so comfortable and so flattering and and I think it’s fabulous for today I’m wearing at the moment my Vivo Barefoot trainers note on those quickly I’m really sorry if you tried to use my discount code when I mentioned them last week it wasn’t yet activated but it is now so you can go ahead and use the code but I will be changing into some fabulous heels when I get to the B toy helip Port yes exciting and let me show you my accessories so if I hike over this ginormous incredibly comfortable bed I just love this bag so much we all know how much of a fan of ratten Rafia bags I am and this one which is not closed properly at the moment but it’s so spacious so roomy is the perfect accessory for a summer day out I say a summer day out it’s a little cloudy at the moment we’re hoping it’s going to brighten up and then I have got this absolutely beautiful Sage linen Blazer which I plan on throwing over my shoulders if it gets a little chilly which I think it might do and it looks really beautiful Al together I’m going to wear my Valentino Rock studs which match the bag so without further Ado let’s get going [Music] only 10 minutes yes I know I kind of wish it was longer but it’s it’s going to be really fun it’s going to be fabulous flying over London we’ll have to see what we can spot cuz spot Manda our old house your house yeah so exciting here we go so we have made it to our mood of Transport I’m here with lovely Cleo is this your first time in a helicopter no no you’re seasoned professional seon professional and ler is here gorgeous lady and my darling my gorgeous darling C with can you show her on the detail oh yeah look at this so it’s like a flossy X what’s the designer of the BR the Hat uh she’s called Miss be Miss B I’m obsessed with it so beautiful and perfectly matches the attire so we’re about to take off feeling a tad nervous but also very excited to spy on all of the wonderful sites over London see if we can spot bucking and Palace the journey is going to take us 10 minutes so it’s definitely quicker than driving what do we think it’ be by car like half an hour an hour maybe oh much longer an hour an hour and a half long so how long would it take me to get batch the cut Swords by helicopter need to have 20 minutes you need a helicopter we need a helicopter [Music] we’ve made it into our little area where we’re going to be having lunch at Epsom I brought my darling to the cheese table there’s basically a table here with endless amounts of cheese and crackers and we’re having lunch a bit later but I think cheese will stter well I don’t like cheese I know you don’t time just cold I want to come PL so that I don’t look like but this lady I always find next to the cheese we will always be at the cheese table this is incredible we Rond de food over cheese at um is itel and then here we are again back with more cheese what what’s your favorite cheese oh God I love a camon bear in the winter a hot cam different you P of bread oh JJ does that yeah put honey on it and chili stinks the FL out it’s disgusting okay I need both of your best cheese jok God I’m just going to do the same one that I always do what do the cheese say to you looked in the mirrori oh looking G do you know the joke about your favorite cheese come bear no what kind of cheese do you use to get the bear the cave oh my favorite cheese joke is what kind of cheese do you you use to hide a horse you’ve not heard that one what kind of cheese do you use to hide a hor mask a pony Freddy’s asked me to get some of the big ones so hello is it open the cheese store okay may I get some of the Gorgon Sola do I just bite it or here we go do I just we couldn’t wait w what have you gorona oh my gosh wow if there’s any left at the end of the day I’m taking the wheel oh fabulous I’m being served a strong and creamy ptin monster and then we’re going to have waa see and then I’ll try a little bit of the s a lovely goat’s cheese we are the first ones here but we’re just going to sample each of the cheese say going to get a little bit of Quin qu lovely lunch is served this is the starter we have got Chef Michelle R doing a lovely three to five oh goodness me who cares about Michelle Rue when you got cats to look at she that is that would petrify me imagine waking up in the morning look at her eyes she’s so funny so grateful and when I turn they love it and I’m like who’s this Alex and I went down to see Leo and Mark quickly and we returned to Freddy and all of her friends what have you said to everyone darling I am to annoy everyone again I did a pumber she found her Aroma had a certain appeal she could clear the race course after every meal we are sensitive Souls we thick skin did you like my comment when you said about your Disney crush and I was like wait Freddy knows who’s my Disney Crush muasa muasa I’m the be I mean the text I said you a whole you film just about is it real yes oh I didn’t know if you were pranking me S I came from the Disney Instagram unless they were pranking us but on ail 1 no this is music to my ears a Mufasa film okay we need to go to the yeah we do we are busy admiring the Aston Martin db12 it’s in this beautiful green color and if we take a look inside where Madame is having a fabulous photo shoot but the Interiors are absolutely gorgeous I’ll bring you around hi Barbie hi Ken you want to go for a ride sure sure jump in I’m a Barbie girl oh God what when did I become Ken I know I’d never be The Driver I don’t know why I’m sat in the driver’s seat that’s a laugh isn’t it I know cuz every time we go abroad is like you’re driving yes 7 hours through Alabama well can I just reveal something about that trip that no one on my Vlog knows there was a third person with us that entire what were you going to say that I drove on the wrong side half the time that was terrifying not half the time one specific time she literally moved onto the freeway but she turned left as you would but we needed to turn right and that was oncoming traffic yeah it was was actually I was like really calm wasn’t I just went Jo you’re on the wrong side of the road no you’re facing the wrong way no it was was more delicate it was Jo I think you might be going the wrong way I just didn’t want her to panic I was like oh my God I think we’re on the wrong side we’re facing the wrong way so dut about it it was so cute but anyway but there was a third person with us the entire time who was the pr for brand USA and she didn’t want to be on camera so the whole time you probably watch those clips thinking it was just us the whole time there was always a third person which is how we got lots of nice clips of the two of us together yeah what people think we’ve done like questioned Str and honestly like we could have like we probably didn’t necessarily want her there not in a horrible way but like we would have preferred if it it was just us yes but she you know was good company so yeah she sang along to Disney songs with us she did and we were possessing over in the Heights yes and still to this day the only bit that Joie knows is gorgeous Linda tell me something I don’t know I sing that about five times a day anytime anyone says gorgeous gorgeous it’s just a trigger you said it earlier and I was like I’m not doing it I’m not doing it I’m not doing it she went gorgeous I like don’t say it don’t don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it we well we just came in here we’ve got the heated seats on this is the Aston Martin db12 it’s just the most beautiful car interor think you ever seen yeah me too you got suede you’ve got this it’s like an MZ bag but a car interior it’s beautiful look at your hand on the steering wheel like that is just the most beautiful steering wheel hang on let me do it properly your hand down there the leather glove that is beautiful it’s very sporty look at the back of the headrest I love it absolutely love it fit in the back though look what you’d have to be I mean you’d have to be very short-legged I’d be fine to be honest oh my gosh put text there and yes my children would just about fit but no it’s certainly not designed as a family car it’s um it’s fabulous it’s for ladies the logo is just gorgeous beautiful this ster I’ve never been in the car like this before no not quite to this level of luxury that’s so stunning well everyone else is over there looking at the king um and we’re here getting our bottoms wared should we go look at the king yeah okay well a motorcade procession is about to Jet off with king and queen inside there he is can you see him in his trench coat and queen Camila just getting into their car a maybe she gets car sick oh my God Queen love her me too Royal wave and we got a thumbs up from the king oh and his pal bye we are admiring the horses in the parade ring the experts will be investigating how well turned out the horses are to see who they think is going to win the races Oh I thought it was how shiny they were oh is it how smart they are I thought it was how like they’re they’re behaving like do they do the horses walk with confidence yeah you’re probably right that makes more sense and how shiny they are [Music] good morning my darlings it’s now Saturday morning I hope I don’t have seeds in my teeth just had the most delightful avocado toast I’m not sure why are doing church bells at the moment on a Saturday morning it’s as though they’re doing a practice because they’ve done all the different Chimes um unless there’s a wedding later today which will be really exciting it is the 1st of June as I’m filming this our wedding month um and I just get very emotional when I hear wedding bells being practiced on the church or played on the church truly magical so yesterday was such a fantastic day so grateful to to Aston Martin for taking us along to the Epsom Derby it was it was cloudy and a little bit chilly and windy but we had the best time it was so lovely to see so many o that is my timer hold that thought I’m doing croutons it’s a good job I do these timers cuz otherwise I’d quite honestly have forgotten completely about these where was I yes talking about the Aston Martins really amazing to see them up close and personal you guys saw the Interiors of that I think it was the DB 12 I’ve had a dbx on loan before which is their kind of more um larger vehicle I can’t remember if it’s a 4×4 or not but it would definitely be the most practical for round where we live here um but when Charlie and I and Jake went to anho a few weeks ago they were having like a a launch event there and we got to see this stunning dark green convertible with tan interiors and I can’t stop thinking about that car ever since it is truly gorgeous but yeah today we are having Phil and Hannah and their children over for a barbecue hoping that it’s going to brighten up a little bit it’s a little bit cloudy again when is summer going to get here I don’t know hence why I have got some knitwear on I absolutely love this v-neck it is from Holland Cooper I’ll just pop you up there I actually adore this outfit so much it is all Holland Cooper right down to my slippers um these trousers are just so comfortable I can maybe go even a size down on these I think with with the thicker material Holland Cooper trousers I find that they are true to size or maybe because of the thickness of the fabric I’m sometimes tempted to size up whereas with their thinner material trousers I find that I can go down a size if that helps you at all but these are just fantastic for a day like today when I’m around the house maybe doing a couple of bits and Bobs in the garden as you saw earlier I did a little bit of Rose Dead Heading and bringing some blooms in they’ve got lovely pockets cute little charm detail here holl and Cooper are just fabulous for their little details like you’ve got the Cuffs buttons on the cuff on this jumper I love this color so much it’s fantastic for days like today when I want to wear nice summery colors and yet the temperatures are just not not giving they are not giving um but I’ve got some other really gorgeous pieces I’d love to share with you later on from Holland Cooper because their summer collection is quite honestly Divine I never thought that I was going to be a denim dress girly but the holl and Cooper denim dress has completely changed my mind the dress that I wore yesterday the polka dot I felt so amazing and so comfortable in that dress there was never a point where I felt self-conscious that um it was too tight in any places or I was revealing anything I just felt really elegant and lovely in that so that’s going to be a real favorite and I think it’s the kind of dress that can be worn dressed up and dressed down I think I showed you a full length outfit at the very beginning of the Vlog but yeah so today we’re barbecuing as I mentioned I will show you some gorgeous outfits um when I get a moment I also want to get a bit of gardening done but for now I’m just baking my croutons I’m going to make my smoothie um and I am just washing up from our avocado on toast breakfast so yeah that is the plan for today this is just the best smoothie recipe in the entire world it is of course from one of my little Frozen smoothie jars that I prepared at the weekend and the top secret ingredient that just makes it so exceptional is frozen cauliflower Frozen cauliflower and frozen banana um sorry I do put a little bit banana in there as well but Frozen cauliflower and Frozen avocado makes it so creamy it’s honestly delicious okay I have an exceptionally random thing that I want to share with you before I put these away in the store I was looking for a non bleach non toxic they’re not toxic obviously but a better lural again inspired by that podcast I was listening to about the 10 seven most toxic things in your home um so in a bid to reduce chemicals which tragically are put on the standard L rolls I did some research and came across a brand called bamboo so these are a lot more sustainable cuz they’re made of bamboo um they are free from pesticides fertilizer chemical scents and dyes PFA and BPA tree free tissue plastic free packaging plant-based inks and vegan bamboo typically produces 35% more oxygen than trees and can absorb up to 12 times 12 tons of CO2 per year so these are basically bamboo toilet rolls and kitchen rolls and tissues so I thought I would show them to you because I was skeptical um this one is the white one I don’t understand how this is not bleached but I’ll show you another one that I’ve got as well it’s got a little bit of dimpling to it I can’t believe I’m showing you L roll um so yeah there’s those and they do come wrapped up like this I know lots of people were buying that brand who gives a crap during lockdown I actually couldn’t get my hands on that for a while cuz it’s sold out but I think this is just really really similar and also I I don’t like having who gives a crap written on the packaging in my bathroom it’s I don’t know I don’t love that they also have tissue boxes um these are completely unbleached it’s called virgin bamboo and they are really soft just like your regular tissues but kind of to the environment um and then this is the kitchen roll I actually haven’t undone these yet let’s have a look so it looks like a regular kitchen roll what did that say on here 100% bamboo strong and absorbent tree-free rolls no pesticides BPA free double ply one tree planted for every box sold so if you’re looking for something to be a little bit more sustainable kind of to the planet kind of to you this is not gifted I purchased this I did research um yeah I thought I would share that with you so I’m going to distribute these to where they need to go um and I’ll leave them down below in case you on a similar journey to me trying to find things which don’t compromise a nice way of living nice soft L roll um but that can be a little bit more thoughtful both for our bodies and for the planet have I gone mad showing you what L rooll life just purchased most probably [Music] well my darlings we are just about ready for our guests to arrive so I’m deciding on my outfit of the day excuse my hair I will brush it and do something nice with it surely so option number one this is quite a lovely classic British almost a little little bit equestrian style outfit I am in love with this shirt the entire outfit including the belt is Holland Cooper I will of course leave all of these pieces Linked In the description box down below in case you’d like to check them out you may have spotted this blouse when I did my spring 30-day outfit challenge I styled it numerous times during that it’s just a really nice it’s quite cheer it’s quite beachy um really nice on warm days and you’ve got the double HC really pretty but detail which I absolutely love it’s got almost like a braiding around the edge of it beautiful embroidery here and then it says Holland Cooper along the neckline it feels like a beachy overshirt but then with these trousers I absolutely love how that looks I’m sorry you can see the bikini that I was trying on earlier in the background there so this is option number one I think however we might actually be in luck and we might get some real Sunshine so I’m going to show you some beautiful dress options here we have outfit option number two for today this a really classic little dress I love the length of this one it feels really summery quite like youthful and feminine which I absolutely love the material is gorgeous it’s got a really nice thickness to it that is able to hold a pleat and the pleating detail on the sleeves is just absolutely Sensational and again on the bodice there little pin button down detail in the middle this is just super flattering around your waist you could add a belt if you wanted to but I don’t think it needs it and the iconic H and coopa detail on the sleeves I love The Vibes of this dress it feels like such a classic summer dress um styled with perhaps you could do a giant basket bag I’m obsessed with this bag from Holland Cooper I nearly took this with me yesterday for Epsom um because I thought I was going to have to have my overnight travel makeup bag with me as well um but luckily I was able to leave that all in a car but if you’ve got a day out if you want to put a cardigan in here or a little scarf you know like a pasina type thing obviously hopefully you don’t need a scarf in the middle of summer um whatever you need for the day laptop this could be a really fabulous work bag if you need to take your laptop with you and you want to go for those beachy Vibes and then just this incredible quality leather patch in the Middle with the HC logo I just think is so beautiful what you could do if you wanted to you could take a fabulous silk scarf and accessorize your bag you could do a little just very casual little bow tie detail if you just wanted to personalize it a little bit add a silk scarf on there I think that looks gorgeous yeah I love I love this bag with this dress it’s such a a classic summer holiday outfit and then Footwear haven’t worn these yet because we literally just haven’t had the weather for it but holl and Cooper are doing these incredible sandals this year which have got the Rafia detail on on them they are slightly kind of MZ or an Vibes but not trying to be them you know it’s just they’ve got their own style they’ve got far more of a grippy soul and to be honest they feel better quality dare I say than the MS ones well I don’t know why I say dare I say because holl and Cooper consistently blow me away with the quality of their pieces and their Footwear is absolutely no different whether it’s the boots and the winter all the sandals let’s bring you down in the summer these are just gorgeous I think whatever dress I wear I’m definitely going to wear these sandals today and the rapia matching in with the gorgeous beach bag so this is serious option for today number one I do have a couple more options which I’m going to share with you okay so I mentioned I think in the last Vlog that for me this is definitely the summer of hats I really struggled with all of the hats that I got from Neta PTO in the last Vlog they just didn’t sit right or they W they were too stiff but of course Holland Cooper have just pulled out the bag with this one it is in a way just a classic fedora hat um like a boat hat style but it’s a really nice soft ratten I guess you would call it the classic Holland Cooper emblem here really lovely shape I have got the size medium because I don’t like the hats to sit on my head I like them to properly flop down over my head the dress is an absolute classic with the beautiful broery material it’s got a wrap Style detail which I think is so flattering midi or kind of a tea length fabulous for garden parties it is perfect for a day like today and then Holland Cooper have brought out their summer espad drils which quite honestly are stunning the color of these let’s tilt you down again it’s almost like a Mossy mushroomy Brown and in my mind they are just perfection they’re A really lovely neutral the perfect heel height so incredibly comfortable um and and detailed wise you’ve just got a teeny weeny Holland coopa logo just on the strap there but nothing to in your face the actual heel height is really nice it gives you a really great height boost but because you’ve got this plow form they’re actually incredibly easy to walk in so I know that I’ll be comfortable in these all day and once again with Holland Cooper just thinking of all the details my other sandals like this from other brands they always just fall undone but there’s something really beautifully textured about such a strange angle um this ribbon so they literally never come undone which is amazing now obviously I’m in my own home so I don’t need a handbag with me today but just to show you how fabulous it does look with this with or without the scarf and I actually just shared a photo of this look on my Instagram and I did a story which I’ll pop on the screen here showing you how I edited it in just a few clicks using perennial presets I did a few different versions of the edit so this is the before photo then I added did perennial preset number one which is earthy tones here um I added terracotta here and then muted film here so you can see how the photo looks so different with just one click of a button I’m so proud of our perennial presets I think they’re just so easy to use whether you are an influencer or you own a business where you have to share imagery I think they are just the easiest and best way to elevate your photos so I will leave our presets linked down below if you haven’t already um got them you do get all 16 with the purchase but there we go that was a little Sidetrack but imagery featuring this outfit which I love and I wore when we were exploring the National Trust properties last week so this is the other option but I think I’m feeling the denim dress today so let me share that one with you okay my darlings I have saved my personal favorites and the one that has completely taken me by surprise until last this is the Holland Cooper denim dress I never would have thought that I would love a denim dress but I thought I’m just going to try it I’m really pushing my fashion boundaries this summer a little well I say I’m pushing my boundaries I’ve been wearing trousers and trainers I mean it’s not it’s not exactly mind-blowing stuff but um yeah I thought I would try it it’s got pockets that I’m just adjusting silhouette Silhouettes are what Holland Cooper are purely the Master’s at like who thinks of adding darts and almost tailoring to a denim dress I love these high pockets they make your boobs look really perky they’re up here not down here it’s got a really nice color detail I love the hul and Cooper buttons I love the waist belt you could of course switch in your own belt pockets in the right place to give it that little bit of Nance I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the kind of piece that will sell out this year so add it to your cards if it’s something that you love it’s by some magic got a little bit of stretch to it it’s got a little slit down there which gives you the movement I’ve left the bottom button undone so I think that’s just what you do and then I’ve added the sandals as well I think for a day at our own house nice and Casual with the sandals but you could definitely Elevate with the um heels the as I was wearing earlier I may need a little something over my shoulders um so maybe I’ll take a cardigan downstairs with me but I’ve just pinned my hair up but I think I think my hair clip’s going to get in the way yeah this feels quite like Californian or I live in South Carolina my family have got a Vineyard it’s giving those kinds of Vibes um and I just absolutely love it so obviously I oh do you know what I almost forgot about this beauty so obviously you saw the bag that I took with me yesterday um and then the big beach tote straw tote but this one is another one that I’ve been loving and this kind of smartens up the outfit a little bit with the structure of the bag I just think holl and Cooper they have really ticked all the boxes from the slightly more casual dresses to the beautiful billowing shirts to the tailored looking trousers I’ve even got a gorgeous pink suit from Holland Cooper that was going to be a backup option for yesterday had it been really quite chilly um but I do need to get the trousers Tak up a little bit and I’ll show you when I have got that done but yeah summer dresses and then we think through all the way to their winter padded coats your entire wardrobe could just be hauling Cooper and it would be Perfection so I’m so thrilled to work with them I adore them as a brand I think they get their design so spot on love that it’s such a local brand to me as well CH them less than an hour away it’s just incredible and I love supporting British Brands as you know so thrilled thrilled thrilled so this is what I’m going to wear today I’m going to pop um a little knit around my shoulders I think just while these clouds hopefully move along so to add a layer of warmth I’ve either got my fabulous cable knit holl en Cooper v-neck which is quite nice as one of those pieces that you can just put over your shoulders you know how everyone is doing the like scarf detail um do you do a double knot I don’t know I mean you could do that looks quite nice and it’s surpris surprising how much warmth this gives you I know it’s just like a jum rope your shoulders but it does give a surprising amount of warmth so that’s a really nice option I like the contrast of the Denim and the white or I also just love this cable knit cardigan I can’t be bother to undo the buttons so I’m just going to put it on over my head I don’t know how this will look with the collar oh it’s is just so cute and super preppy but I think May maybe there’s too much going on along the neckline yeah I think too much color detail but it’s worth bringing this cardigan down just for those moments when it is a little bit more cloudy um but there we go those are my favorites from the Holland Cooper summer collection they actually drop new releases on their website every Friday so when are you watching this I think you’re watching this on a Thursday so tomorrow there will be even more newness it’s always worth taking a look on a Friday because pieces do sell out they produce like a million of every piece so you need to be quite Speedy um and as always everything that I shared with you will be linked down below I believe our guests are 5 minutes away so I’m going to go and get ready to welcome them and um I don’t know if we’re going to go for a walk or if we’re going to just sit and chill but it’s going to be a lovely day the bells are ringing and it is a wedding we just ran down and the guests are arriving so we’ll run down again in an hour and see the bride coming out but we’re having a game of ball while we wait for the sunshine to appear the church bells are ringing for the third time which means the bride is going to be coming out of the church so we’re going to go and take a sneak peek see if we can see some of the action you think the old lady lovely to see now bee and I are going around the garden and getting a few blooms which we’re going to press together I think I’m also going to add some napita C mint and Salvia and thankfully sun has come out very lucky for the bride and groom and lucky for us so we can eat outside [Music] no [Music] good morning my darlings it’s the next day Sunday morning I hope you enjoyed that little drone flight I wish I had actually got out of bed when I woke up at 6 because my mom posted some pictures from her beautiful window view that goes out over the fields and it was gorgeous Misty mysterious Sunrise um but I didn’t shoot that until 8:00 a.m. so it could have been better if I wake up early in the week I’ll get a beautiful sunrise anyway today is going to be nice and I’m probably going to spend the entire day in the garden I’ve got a gardening to-do list as long as my arm so I thought um I’m not going to bother washing hair or anything I’ve got my bikini top on this is the one from H&M that I told you guys to run not walk to get because it is a mega dupe of the Ares bikini same style with this little detail and then I will leave it link down below again in case there’s any left in stock and then my Holland Cooper really nice lightweight blouse which is perfect for a warm day today cuz I don’t want the sun on my back the whole time that I am gardening so this is fabulous cuz it’s so lightweight and then I have just got on some denim shorts so so a very casual outfit as it’s Sunday morning I always like to try out new beauty products on Sunday it’s become a bit of a routine last week I had a manicure with Kate Somerville to celebrate their goats I don’t say goats cheese but it’s definitely goat milk collection and they have got they’ve got loads of different ranges they’ve got um exfoliate they’ve got goats milk they’ve got um Kate sules there’s a few few more as well but this is Kate sules so it’s their supercell Rejuvenation serum and at the manicure event there was a lady there who was chatting to us more in detail about our personal skincare requirements and she o wow a trouser it’s like a little roll on that’s quite fun she surmised that this is going to be really good for my skin oh my gosh it’s really cooling ooh that feels quite glorious it dispenses quite a lot of product a powerful concentrated skin treatment that repairs and rejuvenates using our vegan supercell stem cell complex fights aging marks hyperpigmentation visibly reduces wrinkles improves elasticity restores skin damage active peptide boots booster enhances the effectiveness of vegan stem cells and squealing replenishes and strengthens the Skin Barrier I like how weight that is my skin feels like it has just drunk that straight in gorgeous let’s switch it to off otherwise that is going to run all over the place I like that method of distribution but my goodness it could get a little bit messy and then from the same range so I think this is Kate sommerville’s most anti-aging skin care range AM and PM lifting eye cream with triple peptide complex a fast AC ing highly concentrated eye cream to lift and firm delicate under ey skin with camid hyaluronic acid triple peptide complex wowser improves skin firmness combats signs of visible aging it’s quite Sleek packaging this feels like their most powerful did I say this already anti-aging range targets and reduces visible wrinkles and crows feet reduces the appearance of under eye bags Min minimizes the appearance of dark circles and brightens under eye skin what more could you want if this there all of those promises if it’s ever going to come out 5 years later okay that’s not coming out I’m going to have to oh I don’t even think I can oh no I’ve got a dodgy one here okay we won’t won’t be able to try that so the next thing I’m going to try this is from a brand okay I heard someone else pronounce this as wind which I prefer than wind because wind just makes me think of trumping to be honest this is the Medina Jew melting rosew water cream it’s a brand um born out of maresh or Morocco specifically this uh yeah a melting rose water cream a luxuriously light lightweight fast absorbing cream that bursts to water on the skin with a rose two complex hyal hyaluronic acid and glycerin it binds water to the skin surface for long-lasting hydration antioxidants aloe vera I mean it sounds heavenly I love this packaging ooh it really is like a water gel cream so if you do find that you need something a little bit lighter in summer and you’re looking for something a bit more natural for your skincare routine M oh my gosh it really does smell like roses you can see how it’s giving me almost like a super hydrated glossy skin finish I do love to discover lighter weight products for summer especially days like today when it’s going to be warm you don’t want too much kind of plastering up on your skin and I would say a little goes a long way with that that feels really really nice M big fan of that they also sent over a night cream which sounds really lovely well we’ve actually got Caspar Stars Radiance renewing night serum which is resurfacing with triple aha BHA PHA complex and yeah I’m pretty sure this is plant-based it’s vegan Cyree carbon neutri natural two to three drops on a clean face and neck so nice resurfacing then we’ve got their cream to oil nightly mask with Argan vitamin E and Orange Blossom I’m going to try that out tonight that sounds really lovely and for today Marakesh gleam Illuminating body cream with hibiscus Waters vitamin C and naroli a jelly butter melts to oil on the skin with super hydrating Flora Brilliance complex of natural hibiscus acara oils and Tre treos H kind of looks like a sun cream kind of packaging ooh oh that feels really nice oh my goodness this

glycerin Hydra and smooth vitamin E to neutralize free radicals cantella astica tiger grass a Korean super ingredient that calms inflammation and promotes healing 90% said that the CC evens out skin tone one sold every 20 seconds worldwide 94% said their complexion looked luminous I mean I don’t need to be sold because I love this range I am their shade dor D which is a little bit more warm but then CLA is a bit lighter and on days when I don’t have so much of a 10an I blend blend the two together which works really well pop that one in a second what have we got here chocolate amorian chocolates oh my goodness oh my goodness me little oh my gosh they look so fabulous I’m going to have to sample one I know it’s only 9:00 a.m. but oh my gosh it’s got like caramel on the inside I know you’re meant to be having this in your picnic in your garden but I can’t see a sweet treat and not have some oh my gosh that’s so beautiful it’s a little glass and it’s almost got it’s like a hand painted bottom looks like rose quartz but it’s not it’s just paint that is so beautiful ooh Peach flavored soou sweetened and flavored distilled soou an alcoholic beverage with peach flavor so Soju is a distilled alcohol from rice sweet potato or tapioca interesting I have never tried Soju before let me know if you have tried it um that sounds delicious I’m going to pop that in the fridge and I’ll enjoy that as a little Tipple to reward myself for a hard days gardening later that chocolate was so delicious now I’m going to apply my aoran CC dor I’ll show you it comes out like a Whitey gray cream and then it’s got little pigments which burst on the skin to give you the most gorgeous coverage oh I forgot how much I love this it really is like a miracle product you can’t quite believe your eyes when you’re applying this how incredible this is so look at my forehead now not that it’s you know it’s not covered in blemishes or anything but a little bit of pigmentation and uneven coverage then I’m adding just a tiny little bit of the CC it’s almost as you blend it it becomes like airbrush and now look just glowing perfected pores are blurred imperfections are blurred tone is evened and it’s got those lovely ingredients which actually boosting my skin at the same time I like to apply it as you can tell with my fingers I think you just get a little bit more blur that way oh fantastic okay I am going to officially add this to my little box here of everyday products and when I need a little bit more coverage I’ll use my TC but I think for every day throughout summer I mean look at that glow my skin looks amazing yay thank you aoran for a topup and a reminder of how simply fast fabulous this product is I sometimes get a discount code with a borean we will check if any of them are active um and I will leave that on the screen and down below sometimes we get Josie 20 I think so definitely make the most of that and I would recommend picking up the BB and also the little concealers as well if you’re doing a haul because these are fabulous I actually used the concealer in CLA so the lighter shade under my eyes because then you get a little bit of brightness and it’s got the same skin loving ingredients in it so it’s just fantastic for actually helping the skin while making it look great on the day okay I need to speed things up here cuz I’m desperate to get out in the garden so is there anything else new that I need to show you oh I had a delivery from a jewelry brand called wonderlust and Co oh that is very cute they sent this gorgeous little bracelet with this sweet little heart pattern it’s almost like a pearly heart that is so beautiful a female founded independent brand made with recycled brass and sterling silver sustainable production hypogenic for everyday wear tested by real people consciously crafted to look and feel good on your skin whilst being kind to our planet love that that is an absolutely beautiful bracelet that’s going to be so pretty so thank you Wen Co okay I’m going to quickly whiz through a teeny bit more makeup don’t need too much cuz as I said I’m just in the Garden today little bit of beauty pie or some bronze oh you know what I do sometimes use again a little bit more coverage the dark colored aoran concealer to me it’s like a bronzer this lovely Cream Blush which is Beverly Hills flush balm by Merit Beauty this is probably my favorite Cream Blush of all time I love the shade and I love the glow and juiciness that it gives to my skin especially if you use the Merit gray skin serum but actually the moisturizer and base I’ve put on today is juicy enough I’d say I never feel complete until my brows are done for ease let’s use the Merit Beauty Natural sorry neutral volumizing brow pomad I almost like to back comb my brow hairs with this to really get it to cover my brow hair um cuz then they really just stay in place all day and they do look super voluminized and what I love about this is you’ve got a bit of maneuverability sometimes brow gels like after 10 seconds of starting to apply it it starts to freeze and you just can’t maneuver whereas with the Merit you’ve got a lot more playing this is actually the Galan eyebrow pencil I don’t use this one that often but I just grabbed it it’s a really good color for me actually this is a new eyeshadow from clay depo and this color is quite simply magical for an everyday shade shade um they are refillable by the way so these just kind of pop out and this is the shade sun-kissed Coral which I think is simply beautiful for a really natural everyday clay Depo makeup is just chef’s kiss Perfection There’s Something About This which is almost bomy like it doesn’t feel like a powder but it’s not a cream it’s something in between which gives almost like an airbrush look to your eyelids and it feels like it’s hydrating in the skin on my eyelids will never crease never never crease and the packaging is just gorgeous you even get a little mirror in the lid I just love it that has become a new favorite and then I think I told you how much I love this mascara the other day it is from rare Beauty I also have the dog toy version of this which um Dexter has not yet shredded he has shredded the cream blush there we go mascara done just a really subtle coat I can’t stop looking at my skin I am in love with this skin combination I need the tiniest bit of powder this is the Laura Mercier pressed translucent real Flawless luminous perfecting powder as you can guess by the name it perfects it mattifies but it doesn’t get rid of the Luminosity of your skin so fabulous in summer especially if you’re aoran cc is giving you the glow and you don’t want to get rid of that I’m kind of rushing now because cuz I just want to get outside into the sun beauty pie Wonder filter blurring skin primer um this is as good as Charlotte Tilbury by the way I have put them to the test side by side doing the same thing two days next to each other and this one performed just as well it’s got niacinamide and aloe vera so great at this time of year I think my beauty pie discount code will still work Josie sent me to get you money off you can also use this to prime your face full makeup it smells really good it smells a little bit less chemically than Charlotte Tilbury I’ve got to say and then yesterday I wore this um lipstick which I loved and I forgot how much I love it it’s Snapdragon from clay Depo I’ll use a little bit of lip liner it’s actually probably a little bit too intense for a day in the garden but soon as I’m doing makeup with you I’m just going to do my bottom lip and then do that so it’s a slightly more subtle bit of color but how pretty is that shade so so gorgeous so there we go a probably 10 minute makeup look it would have been 5 minutes if I hadn’t been chatting to you guys um using a few new favorites a few new pieces and a few favorites a little bit lighter than makeup routines that I’ve showed you before because I would say this is the summer everyday makeup my makeup never looks that different um but yeah those are a few favorites and news so I’m going to have a quick Tidy Up In Here products everywhere now um eat the rest of these chocolates finish my smoothie and then start tackling my gardening to-do list so just before I head out into the garden this is my buy Whole Foods online order that’s arrived I thought I would show you what we picked up so we like to do these seed mixes it’s just a mixture of all the seeds that we’ve ordered um and Charlie will sprinkle that on his morning yogurt I’ll add it to my smoothies I’ll add it on top of avocado toast on top of soups so I’ve been doing a big stock up the website I use is called buy Whole Foods online I think one of you guys recommended it um no I found it and then I was asking if it was legit because the website looks a little bit unprofessional um but it is legit and the products you can choose organic seeds which is great and they’ve got a great variety and really good price so organic pumpkin seeds chocolate coated peas I’ve not tried these before but I thought thought they sounded delicious organic chia seeds organic pine nuts pine nuts are expensive um but they are so delicious we had a spinach goats cheese and pine nut dip yesterday with tortilla chips and it was scrumptious Lion’s main mushroom powder this works out cheaper than dirty I think so I thought I’d give that a go actually I’m not sure if it does work out cheaper than dirty be interesting to see if it tastes any different but Lion’s man giant salted corn this is a really nice little Savory snack to have in a bowl if you’ve got friends coming over more cheer seeds cashew nuts again we get through quite a lot of these These are organic cashew nuts from Vietnam more cashew nuts organic almonds organic Brazil nuts Brazil nuts are so good for you and then I thought I would try out their 100% um organic Italian extra virgin olive oil cold extracted and organic are the two things that you need to look out for in olive oil olive oil again so so good for you at this time of year drizzled over salads drizzled over anything just really adds to a dish so we got a couple of those so there we go that is my organic nuts and Pantry order I’ll leave this website link Down Below in case you also like to stock up on nuts and seeds and these bags are recyclable compostable a lot more sustainable than the little plastic bags you often get in supermarkets so overall a great order well speaking of mushrooms I had this really exciting delivery from Dirty who who have created gummies these are not just any gummies they have got trema which is the Hair Skin and Nails um mushroom chagger which is one the powder that I put in my morning coffee for immunity energy and defense Lion’s man for Focus memory and cognition and ceps for strength energy and performance they are different flavors and I’ve read on the back that they are natural flavors they are sugar-free but they do contain more natural sweeters so they are still a treat a sweet treat as opposed to like full-on Health product um but a sweet treat with the amazing benefits that you get from mushrooms I think it’s a really good idea from Dirty maybe if you want your children to get the benefit of mushrooms but they’re not a fan of the powder but I would say you can sneak the powders into so many things whether it’s a smoothie or a soup or a whatever um but yeah I think this is a really interesting idea I just tried a couple of these and they are delicious so yeah I’m going to be adding these into my treat straw so that I can when I want that little sweet treat get the benefits of mushrooms as well really really good idea from [Music] Dirty okay the cap is on for a morning of intense gardening um I have just written a to-do list I’ve already watered the greenhouse and I’ve started to add a little bit of feed to my tomatoes this is what I’m using it is is the Envy organic liquid tomato feed with added calcium magnesium and seaweed so I’ve just added that to my tomato seedlings which some of them are still quite tiny like this and then some of them are a little bit bigger like this I think what I’m going to do is order some specific tomato compost um if anyone’s tried tomato compost before please let me know how you got along with it I’ve never used it before I’ve only ever used multi-purpose organic compost um because a lot of my tomatoes now need to go into bigger containers so I thought I might as well order some specific compost so I’ve done the feeding and watering in here but now I’m going to head down to the kitchen garden and do some feeding and watering the great thing about these shorts is that I can actually put my phone in my pocket which I know is not like rocket science but often I wear the little linen shorts and they’re just not quite strong enough to hold my phone so I’ll be able to listen to a podcast while I do my watering I will do the outdoor tomatoes with this and then also from Envy I’ve got a an allpurpose feed for my co jett’s pumpkins basically everything I really haven’t cared for my sweet peas this year I think cuz they’re in the cut flow bed not the veg bed which is where they should be um I’ve just not really care for them that much this year so I’m going to give them a feed and hopefully we might still get a few flowers later in the month got my second coffee of the day in my ocean bottle travel mug because then I don’t end up flinging soil in it and this will probably take me about an hour to drink just slowly um because I’m a really slow coffee drinker apart from my first coffee in the morning that one I will Blitz through but my second one I really take my time and this will keep it nice and hot and then I have added some electrolytes from ancient and Brave into my water bottle which is also ocean bottle I think our discount code for them is josy ldm so um yes that is my beverages so let’s take the feed down to the kitchen garden and do some watering and feeding [Music] [Music] so as you might have just seen from the first time lapse outside I have been doing a real clearing of our rhubarb some of these leaves were starting to rot on the flower beds which is just an absolute magnet for Slugs and snails so I really needed to tidy it up of course I’m going to not let any of it go to waste so I’ve just chopped up this bit of rubub here that’s going to go in the freezer for a couple of hours so that it’s not all going to solidify in one Clump it’s a little bit more spread out and then I’ll pop it in a freezer bag and store it until Autumn when we can have some delicious rhubarb crumbles these I’m just going to pop in the fridge um and I’m sure we’ll snuffle them with our yogurts and things throughout the week but um yeah we’ve reached that time of year when I’m going to start freezing things ready for Autumn dishes okay I have had a busy hour off camera half of that time has been spent trying to get Dickens to find a little space in the shade because whenever I’m out here gardening I always have an assistant and he’s been trying to help me in the broad beans you can see some of them got a little bit squashed and if he’s not in the broad beans he’s in the direct sunlight so we have to try and keep him in the shade as you can see he’s a little sunba some days he’s Ultra needy like if I walk away for 2 seconds he’ll follow me and he’ll try and jump up on me he’s such a little bun bun but what I’ve done here is create a little bit of structure for my broad beans yes I should have done this sooner but there’s just too many jobs to do in the garden simply four bamboo canes and some string and then I’m really glad I didn’t throw these away I thought they were just ugly little plastic things um and nearly threw them away last week or put them in the charity shop box but actually they’re so helpful because it would take me so long to individually tie the broad beans into the string but these are actually really helpful for just encouraging it to grow towards the string so really glad I kept them there’s another one in there you can see I’m using them to just encourage the beans to go up to the support I’ve actually managed to harvest a few broad beans over here very very exciting next thing I’m going to do I have cleared away some very determined horseradish which keeps coming back up I’ve removed the lower leaves and the lower branches from my tomatoes and I’m now going to put some supports in so they can grow nice and big and strong again just using bamboo and my my new favorite little Clips to encourage my tomatoes to grow up against a little support as long as you’re not eating any rhubarb leaves Dickens what are you doing in there are you just Sheltering okay just no nibbling please no nibbling bunny teen teen we o also I have no recollection whatsoever of planting um potatoes oh bunny so needy and yet I thought these were weeds these plants here so I just pulled one up and it actually had little potatoes all attached to its roots here’s a little mini version here so yeah they’re potato plants I have no recollection of planting these but I won’t complain uh so this is a teeny weenie little mini potato bunny Mommy can’t go anywhere without her little assistant quite intrigued to crack this open and make sure it is in fact a potato but I pulled it up and then swiftly replanted it there must have been maybe 15 or 20 potatoes attached to the roots of this so I guess this is now my potato [Music] corner so we decided to do some whipped feta and yogurt with asparagus and broad beans on toast with a little bit of Tero scrambled egg I’m going to do a little tick tock on the recipe if you like the look of this it’s a little bit random but lots of things from the garden so it’s going to be [Music] yummy it is now nearly 900 p.m. we have been gardening for about 10 hours today serious intense gardening I didn’t show you everything but um I’ve been a very busy be the veg Garden is looking fabulous the greenhouse is tidy daas are planted all my sweet peas are planted planted out some of my rainbow chard some new spinach seedlings seed some more M to seed some more spring onion gosh Bean supports so much has been done today um and I’m quite exhausted so I’m going to go and get in the bath I’m going to leave you with the most beautiful drone flight that I just did capturing golden hour of our house and across the village so so my darlings good night thank you so much for watching this Vlog bit of a long one Epsom hosting yesterday and then Super gardening today um but I really hope you enjoyed it so I’ll see you in the next one thank you for watching good night for [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music]
