[Music] good morning my darlings excuse my croaky early morning voice good morning from my baby I show you this view quite often because it’s so beautiful when the sunlight creeps around the corner but today it’s looking extra special because our Jasmine has just started to flower how beautiful is this and it smells incredible we’ve got Jasmine by the door as well and it’s most scented in the evenings it really just is such a subtle but beautiful fragrance and when you come in and out the house you really get a gorgeous waft of it hello dexie did you tell everybody it was your birthday day yesterday 9 years old you are my little middle-aged sausage it’s Saturday morning I’m going to head to an 11:00 a.m. very leisurely reformer pilates later but first I have got a lot of watering to do so let’s get cracking a proper good morning to you my darlings already such a productive morning I have watered and kind of cleaned the greenhous M done a little bit of Dead Heading um and I’ve written a list of the seeds that I want to sew today now that we are in July it’s tempting to just focus on what’s outside what’s growing cuz there’s so much but then if it comes to August you’ll realize or end of July you realize that actually you finished some of the veg in your beds and you’re left with all these gaps and what have you got to fill it with the things that you plant right now so I need to do some seed sewing later today but heading to PO shortly it’s been it’s been nice having a bit of a morning before going to Pilates I don’t normally go on Saturday but here we go and before I head there I’m going to do my morning skincare routine now this is exceptionally exciting I’m so thrilled to announce you may have spotted it on my Instagram already that I have partnered with eom who I adore absolutely love British brand um founded on um the inspiration that you took from her grandmother’s Garden so it’s a brand and just the most incredible ingredients the most sensorial gorgeous experience using the products and they just leave your skin glowing so I couldn’t think of a brand that I’m more excited to collaborate with on what we’re calling the csw world’s Essentials skin care set and or bundle I should say this bundle for of my favorite products from eom which I’m sure you’ll all be able to guess and this bundle um will save you 25% as opposed to if you had to buy the products separately so a really fantastic opportunity to treat yourself to some really luxurious skin care and my personal favorites so I’ll talk you through the products as I apply them obviously obviously have to include their cleansing balm the original and the best always if you’ve not experienced the eom cleansing balm it is a full sensorial experience um I like to pop some in the palm of my hands to be honest with you this is normally part of my evening skincare routine but on the weekends when maybe I have a little bit more time than oh my gosh even just having it in my hands here it’s just there’s something about the Aromas of eon products that they feel incredibly natural just in my mind even if I’m doing this in a city will take me back to the Garden there’s real beautiful like caramel scent here so I like to start by inhaling it yesterday morning I did some breath work in the infrared sauna before going to Pilates I might actually do that again today I’ve got time um and how lovely to have you could actually use this as a breathing balm it smells that good but I like to really inhale it and just take a moment we deserve these little moments before applying onto my skin now now this has got the most gorgeous consistency not only does it remove um all of your makeup if you’re wearing any I don’t sleep in makeup so I haven’t got any on at the moment but also any oils pollution dirt from the skin but what I love about it the most is that as well as cleaning the skin it’s deeply deeply nourishing it’s full of the most incredible natural oils essential oils all inspired by the garden which I think is why I just have this real connection with the brand you can do gorgeous facial massage with this if you ever have the opportunity to um go for a facial with eam oh my gosh just pure Pure Heaven so I like to really focus on the um lymph node areas activate the lymph node so I’m going to spend a little bit more time doing this they’ve got you’ve got lymph nodes around the nose and I’m also just pressing those incredible ingredients into my skin and then you can either just use water or the eom cleansing cloth which I would recommend because then you also get a light exfoliation I I would just leave this on my skin you know it’s so bomy and nourishing you could leave it on like a mask but the eom muslin face cloths they’re really really good size and the consistency of them just gives you a really gentle exfoliation while you remove your cleanser okay this next product I’m going to apply this morning is not part of my bundle but it’s something that I absolutely adore from eom and I use every morning it’s their time Retreat Radiance Essence um if you are looking to really amp up the hydration levels in your skin and maybe anti-aging is a focus then this is Pure Heaven it’s not in my bundle however I do have my always on discount code with Eve LOM josie2 this won’t apply to the bundle I’m afraid because the bundle is already 25% discounted from the retail price but if you want to add the essence to your skincare routine which I just love so hydrating literally it’s like flooding the skin with um moisture and hydrated skin responds better to everything else you apply on it and hydrated skin is ultimately skin that is going to be more protected against the signs of aging because if you think about it dehydrated skin it goes crappy which can cause the wrinkles and damage to the skin so keep your skin hydrated I love this I use it every morning morning Okie doie so back to the bundle as it’s my morning skincare routine I don’t need to double cleanse but when I get back from palates I will cleanse my skin again in the shower and I often use this as my second cleanser in the evening this is the foaming cream cleanser from eveon some people love the it’s almost I was going to say Placebo but not really but the the um idea of a slightly more foaming cleanser cuz you really feel like you’re getting a super deep cleanse and yet you’ve still got the lovely nourishing hydrating ingredients of the eam range so this is a gorgeous alternative cleanser or additional cleanser to the cream cleanser as I said I keep mine in the shower it’s fantastic for using um on wet skin you get even more of a lava so I won’t be doing this now because I don’t double cleanse in the mornings but I will pop a beautiful video on the screen here that we shot for my Instagram announcement where you can see the lovely text of this it’s not an Ott foam because there’s not these crazy artificial ingredients in it that are um you know getting like a an Ott lather it’s a very soft lather but it really just gets deep into the skin pulls out any dirt super deep cleanse so this is absolutely gorgeous next as part of my morning skincare routine and my evening skincare routine I don’t do this every single morning but I do do this every evening this is some something that I’ve spoken about so much the eom renewal treatment oil packaging Divine fragrance Heavenly I take um about half a droplet pop that into the palm of my hand and again for me eom it’s all about the ritual of just enjoying the incredible Aromas Heaven absolute heaven so I’m going to pop this on my face the ingredients in this are incredibly calming soothing and they also are targeting any areas of hyperpigmentation so especially in the summer months um aggravators like air corn and then being outside in the warm it’s very drying out there um pollution wise obviously around here we’ve got like Farmers pollution um in the city you’ve got that and all of these things can really um cause pigmentation in the skin as well as obviously the Sun so we want to do what we can to nourish the skin and help to repair that and this oil does exactly that and at the same time just adding instant radiance to the skin I’m a huge lover of oils and what I like to do in the mornings is use my gacha stone or gacha massage tool I don’t know if you can still get this one but this is a collaboration the eam did with Angela klia I got this a couple of years ago it’s my biggest gouache Stone and it’s got this little ribbed Edge as well but you can I’ll leave another one down below if this is sold out and because the oil just creates the perfect amount of slip on my skin it’s perfect for doing just a couple of minutes morning massage so when I had the cleanser on I activated my lymph nodes so now we’re just doing a little bit of lymphatic drainage you don’t need to worry about getting the routine to perfect some mornings I watch a video and I follow a proper routine some mornings I just do what feels good so I’m just kind of moving this the um Stone away from the center of my face towards my ears and then at the end you want to rub it down so if you pop a bit of oil on your neck that really helps so up and drain it down this feels so good and if you do it for 5 minutes you really notice lift and definition on your face one of my friends has started doing this every day and she used to be really self-conscious that she didn’t have a a jawline obviously she did but she wanted it to be more pronounced and she was doing this so using that corner she was doing this movement every day and now she I noticed it and she said it she is so chiseled from using um a lovely massage oil and a gouache stone it also just feels really good so you can do it on the lower half of your face I find that it’s here that I need to do this is where I get puffy and around the eye area and you’re just pressing in this gorgeous oil into the skin so if you want to improve your skin tone and texture this is also a fantastic product for that not only getting that hydration which um helps your skin to Glow but this oil has got ceramides in the formula which is fantastic for skin textures so over time you’re firming you’re perfecting um and in the short term you get that beautiful Radiance I’m using the goua stone on my lips as well this is really really good to do as often as you can for those little lines I would say this oil especially at this time of year is fantastic for long-term hydration I would say up to 12 hours me me GA hydration for the skin which of course leaves it glowing and it’s a very lightweight oil like I can apply a facial moisturizer moisturizer or an SPF straight on top of this it doesn’t leave a film on my skin it’s a very lightweight luxury oil so if you are a fan of skincare oils or maybe you’ve been a bit nervous to try them before cuz you think they’re a little bit too thick and heavy this is a really fantastic one to try okay I will stop using the gacha stone now because I need to apply my SPF whether it’s a sunny day or not everyday SPF 50 this is the daily protection which you guys know I’ve been using every day for probably over a year so I had to include this in my cworld essentials edit bundle so I’ll apply a few pumps of this onto my skin this is a fantastic base for makeup makeup goes on this so so beautifully you’re getting that protection and you’re also getting the skincare benefits which are going to help to give you that beautiful glow so you’re protected you’re nourished and you are glowing so there we go those are my absolute favorite top four products from eom plus a little bit of hydration from the essence as part of my cotw world’s Essentials summer bundle which I’m so thrilled is um available now I will of course leave a link to the bundle at the very top of the description box I would love for you guys to try it out let me know how you get along with the products I know so so many of you are already huge eom fans fans from the SPF the oils the cleansers um I’ve never met anyone who’s tried e long and not been like oh my goodness it’s Heavenly I’m glowing so if you’ve needed that little nudge to try out some of the best pieces then I hope that you will um check out the bundle so there we go my skin is hydrated protected nourished for the day ahead now I’m going to head to Pilates so let’s get this day started I was just on my way downstairs after doing my skin care routine and look who I found in a little corner of sunshine anyone else who’s got a sausage dog will know that they are fully solar powered just like your mommy oh is there a fly in Dixie’s house that needs to be captured is there a fly also I can tell that he’s been foraging in the garden in the herous Border cuz look at this soggy hair I always think he looks like a very handsome Italian man when his hair goes all dark and curly when it’s a bit wet you’re so handsome my boy my birthday boy oh you’re so warm should we go back in the garden come on then come on then okay I’ve got time for 5 more minutes in the garden before I head to Pilates I’ve bought my peash shoots outside because they’re starting to look a bit anemic um going a bit pale so I’ve given them a good water and I bought them out here to get in the morning sun these are the flowers that I did last week it’s always the Roses the diey first the alcha and the Salia and the cat Min still looks really really good um but I’ve got so much Salvia and Cat Min in the garden yes I’ve been doing the laundry nothing better than having it outside in the fresh air to dry so yeah I’m just going to empty this out and do another one you found another patch of sunshine my gorgeous boy [Music] this is how we’re looking so far I remember now I did this again last year where the Wisteria at the moment is starting to send out these um kind of FRS ready to grow up the wall for next year but we don’t need quite so many um growth prongs on the wall around the other side so I’ve clipped a lot of them off and they’re just such a really lovely kind of whimsical shape they’re really gnarly and twisty did and they add a really nice shapee to the display so I am going to add I think this display would look lovely with some white roses I’ve got the kettle boiling so I’m going to try to sear them which is when you dunk the ends in cold um sorry hot water and then cold water and it should make them last a bit longer so it’ll be interesting to see if that works so let’s go and pick some roses [Music] well it’s safe to say I am really really happy with the display this week I think the creamy very very light pink they’re just well it looks lighter pink here this one just tragically fell off um my gosh smell it it’s just Heavenly this looks so lovely I love the wildness of the Wisteria hopefully the Roses will last a little bit longer but I can just pull them out and pop some new ones in um when they do finish look at it just bobbing away in the morning sunshine I love love love this combination of flowers I think that if you were to buy this from a florist it would probably cost you okay well if you were to buy this from dford it would probably cost you around £250 I’m sure at the florist it would be more affordable but um I’ve done it for free all using the Bounty of our garden gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous [Music] gorgeous home again and I’ve got some dalwood salads for lunch this is their pea and quinoa and toasted almond and then a cette and tomato gallet which I might try and recreate um and then this pastry is a kind of cheesy potato Wellington it is so [Music] delicious this is quite hilarious Charlie has bought um natural chicken broth flavor Porter water Wellness for dogs this is an electrolyte hydration sache I think it’s got collagen in it oh my goodness and minerals for doggies particularly good on a warm day so I’m going to put some of this half of this sachche in each of their bowls they definitely prefer drinking water yeah look from this bowl here the outside one even though it gets a little bit grubby they much prefer natural tasting water to the inside Bowl strangely let’s see if they like it when I add this well the weather forecast says 19° and cloudy in reality it feels like 27 28° and beautiful I have been busy planting out most of the bits in my little dalesford salad tray I’ve put a few of the spinach down here given them a good water pretty sure this is a kale I hope it might be a cavalon ero but I’m not 100% sure and then this lovely frilly lettuce here which I need to put down a little bit deeper so these are all in the ground I think what I’m going to do is plant some radish along here because it’s a nice little Sunny Spot the cetes are doing exceptionally well I’m going to be able to take some of these um even though they’re weeny it’s still good to pick them there’s some really good size ones here for the salads that I’ll be making tomorrow and I can use the cette flower as well I think this plant is going to be really productive this one over here let’s have a look I don’t know if it’s actually doing anything yet fruiting wise maybe it’s a little bit condensed in here I might take the um cover off because I’m not sure if it’s getting pollinated what else I’ve been doing cutting down um the dead heads on my roses which is a full-time job at this time of year I’ve planted a couple more tomatoes in this area this is where my M two were that got attacked by birds so this is now a new little tomato patch pulled out the radish which were kind of going over here and now the carrots have got plenty of space to get big and strong the beans are going wild up on here which we like to see um what else have I been doing doing gosh it’s just so roasty well we’ve got a few new loopin in the wheelbarrow here which we’re going to plant in the habous Border because as you know it was slug mageddon this year and lots of lopin sadly didn’t make it through but they are one of my favorites from this time of year all the way through to September even October they all flower especially if you snip them down like I do when they are going a bit over so for example over here you can see some of them have gone to seed this this little section here it’s gone to seed already so if you don’t want the plant to put its energy into going to seed and instead to focus on new um flowers then you can just give them a snip so that’s what I’m going to do to the old loopin and then we’ll plant some new ones as well to fill in the gaps from the ones that sadly did not survive Char is this a type of fabina yes yeah not what it’s called but it is a type it’s not the Harry Potter one the only type the only issue with the beer is it does spread like weed does is it well it’s very pretty so I don’t really mind so yeah this loopin has been attacked by slugs but it’s still doing okay it’s still flowering but then yeah we well actually look this one completely Savaged or ravaged I should say but it’s still trying very hard and there is a flower coming through but there’s some definite gaps that we can fill with the new ones gosh everything is going so wild but my goodness it’s toasty let me just show you where Dickens is hiding from the sunshine shine this is his favorite spot spot my sausage you okay down there my wi W I’m a bit little baby are you okay you’re covered in Shingle and bark mommy I’m not talking to you I’m too hot for this chisel I’m too busy I’m too busy sunbathing in the shed [Music] good morning my darlings a very blur eyed Josie it’s Sunday morning I’m dressed ready to go to Charlie’s mom and dad’s um but I have still got soggy hair from the shower I’m going to sort out the hair when I get there it’s um it’s not even that early I don’t know why I feel so tired this morning honestly I know everyone’s saying it but I think it’s hey fever really getting to me this year I started to feel quite rough at the end of yesterday I actually ended up doing something that I’ve never done before I did nearly an hour long live on Tik Tok I was planning on doing 20 minutes um but my phone actually didn’t show the time and I was waiting for the 6:00 p.m. church bells to go to like signify okay Jo that’s long enough um but they didn’t go weirdly the church bells didn’t chime I think maybe um because they’d been doing some manual practice earlier but I did like an hourong come gardening with me live on Tik Tok um Tik Tok is by far my smallest platform but it’s one that I’m just having a lot of fun on I don’t have any rules on there no scheduled upload times I’m just uploading fun things so yeah it was really nice to just chat to you guys while while I potted around doing some seed sewing and planting out some salad bits and then tidying the greenhouse who knew that that’s what people like to see on Tik Tok lives a lot of people were just saying this is so relaxing to watch and it was such a nice evening um there’s that tickle okay so today we’re heading to Charlie’s mom and dad’s once every year or every couple of years Charlie’s dad invites his entire side of the family over for a big family day normally we have really lovely weather I think it’s going to brighten up it’s currently a bit gray but I’m going to make a salad to take with us I finished off the rubab ice cream last night so I’ll bring that too but I’m going to do the cette and Broad bean barata salad that we made at time so I need to head into the garden pick my broad beans see if there’s any more to radish as well I could add to it and cette and then I’ll prepare the salad when we get to Charlie’s from and Dad’s house so let’s go and it’s bright but it’s cloudy um get the ingredients I was watching Garden as well this morning and Monty was giving his rose clipping um tips so I’ll definitely be putting those into action right let’s fill up the TRU I also noticed yesterday very excitingly that my beetroot are ready to harvest I multi- seed them which means you very lazily just sew a load all together and you can pull out some of the big ones just give them a wiggle and then that will give enough room for the others to grow don’t know if I really need them today but they’re ready to come out so yes the leaves look quite similar to the rainbow chard leaves so I actually forgot that I had beetro there okay let’s take we don’t have any Mong to there yet as I mentioned I had to pull up that MCH too okay let’s go to the broad beans hopefully we’ve got a good harvest here [Music] well it’s not the biggest Harvest excuse my Pearl chain dangling down um but it’ll be very very delicious nice fresh little young veggies I’m going to take a few handfuls of mint for the salad as well um and maybe some rocket and mustard salad leaves from over here as well we’ve made it to Charlie’s mom and dad’s I’m going to start putting together the salad so first of all salt sugar vinegar and oil and then I’m going to add in my broad beans that I potted some chili oops um and the mint which I picked this morning and it’s in the fridge nice and easy [Applause] [Music] this is the finished result of the broadbean corette fennel and barata salad it looks delicious can’t wait to tuck in what a feast my goodness [Music] y good morning my darlings I think that’s the first time I’ve actually spoken out loud today it’s now Monday morning yesterday was a lot of fun over in Windsor with Charlie’s family it was it was the side of the family that we don’t see quite as often so there was a lot of catching up to be done and just a really gorgeous day with everybody today Monday morning I’ve I’ve got my usual reformer and then today can I put you up there sorry it’s a beautiful morning very quick intro to today because um I need to get to Pilates but today is the day that Chloe and I are hosting our morning here at Bamford so I mentioned a couple of weeks ago and a lot of you guys have bought tickets so I’ll be meeting a lot of you this morning but today Chloe and I are hosting our wellbeing in nature morning so Chloe’s going to run us through an hour Pilates session and then um I am going to run through a little floral Workshop which is going to be lovely and we’re going to um have some really wonderful chats about the importance of movement how you can make the most out of nature for your well-being and your mental well-being we’re going to walk through the market Garden we’re going to do some flower displays it’s going to be a really gorgeous morning and it’s quite full circle for me as well because it’s thanks to a floral Workshop that I did at dalesford at the end of lockdown that’s what really got me into flower arranging I’ve always loved gardening but flower arranging was really triggered by um the enjoyment that I got from a class here so to now host not that I’m going to be teaching how to well I guess I kind of am but you know from a non-expert point of view just from a really attainable point of view but anyway it’s going to be a fun morning let’s get to reformer move the body um and then I’ll bring you along as much as possible that was a fantastic start to the day as always with Chloe it was actually a really tough class and I realized I was on the wrong spring for half of it so I definitely got a mega arm and shoulder workout this is what I’ve got on this morning adanola dark green set with a little crossover detail um and I’m having to wear my VI Trainers for reformer because I don’t know if I’ve even updated you but I’ve broken my metat tassel which is the bone on top of my foot so I can’t bend my foot um so chunky trainers even during reforma are required this is really pretty this is a Monica vinar brelet um and then I think I’ll just o oh my gosh they’ve emptied the pool must be giving it a deep clean um but yes I think I will just pop on a nice linen shirt over the top for my flower ranging so I’ve got about an hour until everyone starts to arrive so I’m going to head over to the glass house and check that the um vases and aprons and scissors are all laid out ready for the Master Class A little bit later okay I have just come over to the space that we call the glass house and this is where Chloe and I are going to do our little talk and the flower arranging so I’ll um I’ll show you the lovely setup hopefully everyone will be able to squeeze in so we’re out here by the cookeries school Chloe and I will perch up here to give our little chat um and while we do that everyone will enjoy a nice cup of coffee and then over here is where we’re going to do some lovely flower arranging so I’m just going to briefly show everyone how to freshen up an old bouquet how to add in some lovely wildf flower um and make the most of an old bouquet and then everyone’s going to set up these lovely little posy glasses they get to take the sweet little vases home with them and then they’ve got a lovely goodie bag with a gorgeous bford candle the flowers are arriving look at this we’ve got some seasonal blooms thanks ladies oh my gosh okay we now have flowers we’ve got some beautiful sweet peas from the market Garden we’ve got some beautiful lavender it smells amazing in here and then some very vibrant and juicy mint a few different varieties I think that’s a chocolate peppermint we’ve got some chai flowers in there and then of course we’re going to be heading into the market Garden ourselves to pick a few blooms anyway my watch is telling the wrong time but I think it’s time to go and meet our guests okay final checks of all the spaces this is the beautiful bright yoga room here at Bamford and this is where the morning is going to start Chloe’s going to run us through a beautiful pilates class lots of stretching lots of movement and then we’re going to head out to the market Garden but it’s time to go and meet everybody I can’t wait it’s going to be a lovely morning our Pilates and we’ve just done some lovely breath work out here in the Market Garden and now we’re just collecting a few stems to take in to do our posy glasses [Music] another thank you for coming and joining us so today as we mentioned all about movement and wellness in nature so we’re just going to focus on those two words briefly movement and nature queen of movement Chloe what does movement mean to you and why is it so important oh movement for me is everything everything it’s like magic um the most for me the two most important things there’s lots of there’s not two um firstly it is so important for us as we grow older to move our bodies and to not be stuck in that seated forward fold especially with our the current lives that we live in which is very much sitting um we want to move our bodies so even if it’s just walking as much as you can calm so it’s a feeling as well as the physical what it actually is and I hope that you’ve enjoyed experience a little bit of that now we’re a manmade structure so we’re just enjoying touching nature being surrounded by it and experiencing all the good things that it can do for our mental and physical wellbeing and like CL said about movement being a form of meditation I personally find that being outside in nature if you can resist putting your phone away for a few moments and just focusing on what’s around you that can also be a lovely form of meditation and just helping you to focus on being present in the moment and making the most and connecting to who we are because we are nature that’s the thing that we we kind of EV and flow in life with the seasons and you know nature is us and we are nature and and and in our sort of the current life that we live in we’ve come quite far away from nature so it’s just bringing ourselves back to who we really are I think that’s that’s why they go so well together exactly EXA we’ll take an old bouquet and make it fabulous again and we’ve you can get these probably from delord but on Amazon get a box of them for like20 they’re little posy glasses and these are fantastic for getting the most out of an old bouquet so um maybe while I’m doing this you guys cuz I’ll just chat away can be prepping your flowers that you just picked so when we’re prepping flowers um let’s take something to start if I do that look at this floral Perfection floral Perfection we’ve got chives we’ve got Sweet Pea Cosmos grasses what would you call this display this is the sold I’ll take 12 beautiful everyone has done such different displays it’s so gorgeous we’ve got the giant wild herous we’ve got the neat and the statement oh I love it gorgeous you’ve got so many colors in there the oranges the blues the AL CA I think everywhere you look different VI W and it’s like land I love it beautiful and you’ve got the different layers you got the smaller ones you got the giant ones coming out it’s impressive how yeah and don’t let this go to waste yes oh it’s decapitated oh just like tuck it behind your ear or something goes with the outfit so the class is done it went so well didn’t it yeah it was so great I love it so much fun so special everyone was really friendly with each other and yeah it was great we were just saying let’s walk and talk we were just saying how everyone um no one really knew each other but by the end of the class people were chatting I thought they’d known each other for years but just a making friends connecting chatting about things that they both love or they all love absolutely moving and being in nature it was awesome it was so fun it was three or four hours and we got everyone out in the Market Garden we did some flower arranging we did our parties I think you’re going to have a lot of new new customers to your online classes get every we got gorgeous blooms to take care with us we do hopefully they survive the journey um but we’re going to grab some lunch and see you when we get home okay my darlings back home again after our fabulous morning at dford I think all the attendees had a wonderful time everyone went home with their beautiful little posy vases mine is looking gloriously colorful I did this in literally two seconds while trying to ensure that everyone else knew what they were doing um but it was really fun going around the market garden and picking some natural bits and then the floristry team had pulled together some other bits that we had in the room so everyone’s displays looked so gorgeous I think I showed you some um while we were there and then they all left with a goodie bag with some Bamford products in there this is the geranium Pebble soap which actually isn’t something I’ve tried before but their geranium scent is such a favorite of mine so gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous um back home again now I’ve just done a couple of hours on my laptop this afternoon I need to do some house chores that we would normally do on a Sunday so like washing tidying bed change etc etc um but before I do that I’ve got some bits that have arrived from Amazon because they are Essentials so I thought I would just quickly show you the first thing is something that I have actually been afraid of for quite some time but my desire to make air fried beetroot crisps has led me to purchase a mandolin if you’ve seen Caron’s Farm the when when he’s trying to make crisps you’ll know why I’m afraid of these let’s just say if you’re a fan of the tips of your fingers you need to be very careful dexie come on out my long friend yeah I’m basically just petrified of taking the tips of my fingers off but this one comes with a kind of safety device so I’m just going to do it at glacial speed um using this the safety device and probably wearing like a mesh as well because I’m quite fond of my fingertips we’ll see we shall see so that’s like the most fun purchase you never know what you’re going to get with Amazon do you the next thing is a phone case with a neck cord I used to think that these were very dorky and then I saw the Tik toks of people getting their phones stolen in London mem has worn one of these for the past goodness knows how long and she has told me that it’s prevented her from having her phone stolen numerous times I’m actually not too sure how you’re meant to tie this up but also Chloe today she had one um and she was saying it’s great because you can just you can obviously just walk around handsfree okay that was unsuccessful I need to figure out how to do that um but yeah it’s going to be a phone strap on a chain and then you can wear your phone crossbody if you so desire and then when you’re out about you I think for moms it’s really practical as well our friend Hannah has one of these um and she’s a mom and she’s just always got her phone on her so when she’s out in the B she got her buggy she got babies she’s doing XYZ um her phone is just always there because we are all surgically attached to our phones aren’t we so if this stops my phone getting stolen SL lost then I’ll be very very happy so phone case with a cord I will leave all of these Essentials wh getting strapped into it Amazon essentials link down below and I’ll also leave linked my selection of posy glasses that I have at home I bought a box of maybe 20 posie vises from Amazon actually for our wedding and they’re just really really helpful if you finish a proper bouquet and you want to spread everything out um make the most of it make it last a bit longer or if you want to bring in things from your garden make little displays like this all you need are a couple of little posie vowes so that’s very very helpful so I’ll leave all my Amazon bits link down below and then ah you really do get such a random bunch of things I thought I was buying one um medical wrap but I’ve actually ended up buying 369 12 so we’ve got all different colors of medical wrap here for my foot which is not very glamorous um but one of the girls that I was piling next to she had also broken her metat tassel and she said you need to rest it you need to elevate it you need to ice it and you need to wrap it I’ve not done any of those things um so this is the wrap that she recommended so I got a few of those the randomness continues the next piece from my Amazon order is this belt now I have got something very similar to this already but the one that I currently have does not have white contrast stitching um I’ll leave the exact price that I paid for this on the screen here because sometimes they’re around a f sometimes they’re like12 I would pay far more for a belt that looks like this they’re actually adjustable you can just extend or pull them in to make it either a waist belt or to go around your hips whatever size you want and let’s just say Ms Kelly belt I’ll pop a photo of the Ms Kelly belt on the screen here um and let’s play Spot the Difference all I’m going to say and then lastly this is very much an M inspired purchase because I was so proud of my little phone selfie stick but it does tend to topple over the one that I bought on Tik Tok shop and EM had this one with her at the ballet evening and it’s just so much more substantial so I thought I would treat myself to a substantial one so it’s a lot bigger it’s not going to fit in my little handbags like my Tik to one is but when the need calls for a proper selfie stick that’s a sentence I never thought I would say but there we go this one is just yeah it’s a whole lot more substantial wow she says and I’m about to break it ooh okay see now that doesn’t feel like it’s going to blow over like my existing one that’s yeah that’s good that’s far more substantial I feel like I need need to do some kind of girls loud sound of the underground disco dancing you know you know the the routine the dance video um yeah it’s giving microphone Vibes but that is that’s pretty good and I feel like it gets even taller but I will oh I won’t need it to be any taller than that there we go that’s actually pretty nifty okay tripod selfie stick very very handy so there we go those are my super random Amazon purchases for the day now I am going to mandolin slice up the beach root that I plucked from the garden yesterday and I’m going to air fry it let’s give a go here we go homegrown beach roots o this is exciting okay that one’s not the hugest that’ll me be about four crisps got another one here this one’s slightly better size oh it’s exciting I’m going to sew some more beetroot seeds as well because we’ve still got plenty of time got a slightly bigger one over here yay I’ve got loads over here but these ones are still quite small so I think I will give these a little bit longer you can actually eat the leaves just like you would spinach um how’s this row doing these are yellow H yeah these are much smaller they’ve still got plenty of time to come okay we’ll leave you growing seeing as we’re making crisps in the air fryer I’m going to take some red Russian cabbage kale my brain is not working this morning [Music] yummy okay I’ve returned to the kitchen um and to my surprise my beetroots are actually radishes I thought they were small beetroot turns out they are large radishes but that’s okay we can still make radish crisps as I mentioned petrified with this contraption so I’m putting on a chain mail glove pretty much um that you cannot slice through and we’re going to do this exceptionally carefully right I’m going to start with the big one I’m probably only going to do one of these actually nothing has happened other way ah wowa that is thin holy moly that is that is like air that is so thin okay we’re going to pop them in the bowl and then we will do some seasoning okay wish me luck [Music] okay we have had great success look at these tiny little slithers of radish that I’ve got amazing I didn’t want to do the last bit because I’m just too afraid of getting too close to the massive blade this is useless I don’t know why that would be useful um I will just crunch on this so in my bowl I’m going to add some olive oil lovely I’m eating so much more spice now that we’ve got the air fryer so let’s add in some smoked paprika nice and a pinch of salt lovely and mix it up [Music] so we’re going to start off with the kale crisps these will probably take a bit longer and the Machine is still heating up so let’s get these in I would say this will probably be about 10 minutes to do these at 190 and then I should think these will be maybe only 5 minutes cuz they’re so thin but we’ve got smoked paprika salt and olive oil in there I think they are going to be really scrumptious and perfectly crispy okay so behind our little curtain is my little friend the Wonder oven in she goes okay see you in [Music] 10 well I’ve already eaten a half of them because they are so yummy but here are my kale crisps I just grabbed these the last minute and um decided throw them in and they are so delicious they’re so crunchy now let’s go and check on our radish they’re so so delicious I put on the perfect amount of salt maybe a little bit too much spice they’re quite spicy um the radish have shriveled up quite a lot I have already tried one but my goodness they are so tasty they’re really crispy oh my gosh they’re so Moorish I’m going to have to do 500 loads more of these oh my gosh so good these would be great for children maybe a bit less spice M these are not going to last long oh my God they are so good good evening my darlings gosh it is 8:00 p.m. it’s quite early for us to be going up to bed but we’ve just changed the bed sheets and there’s nothing worse than coming up when you’re exhausted and having to change your bed sheets um so having a fairly early night tonight I don’t think neither Charlie nor I slept that well last night so winding down a little earlier than usual evom cleanser I don’t know what is up with the light this evening it’s been a very overcast day and I’m

the Olivia Von Halls that I got in the net P sale I’m going to pop on the lovely renewal order oil I don’t do this every evening on its own sometimes I will do some active skin care first but today my skin just needs some love this is super hydrating um nourishing leaves the skin with a gorgeous glow so I’m just going to layer that on you can definitely use this for um what was that Tik Tok Trend when it was all about layering getting the glazed donut this a fantastic layer you can do moisturizer before or after I to use oil as the last step to kind of seal everything in but tonight it’s all
