good morning guys it's Wednesday I'm just taking some Lou roll to the downstairs toilet it's launch
day of mine and Keegan's podcast which is so exciting by now you hopefully will have heard
about it and hopefully watched and subscribed and if you haven't please head over to happy healthy
homo that would mean the world to us we're so excited for this and I'm really excited
because I think my whole time on social media not to undermine myself on what I do but I know
it's all been about entertainment and I stand by the fact that I think that entertainment is
so important in the world and you know when I get messages from people which is fairly frequently
saying I've had a really bad day but coming home and watching your videos is the only thing
that's made me smile today or you really make me laugh like that to me means the world and I feel
like that is my purpose is to sort of entertain people however it is also really nice to be doing
something that's entertaining hopefully but also hopefully like a bit inspiring a bit educational
or something that's a bit more altruistic and you using my platform and my voice for good not
that I don't use it for good on this channel but do you know what I mean it's just it's something
that isn't purely entertainment It's Entertainment plus I don't know the word but something helpful
inspiring aspirational I don't know something bigger than me we're really really excited by
it so if you haven't checked it out please check out happy healthy homo here on YouTube or on any
podcast platform Apple podcast Spotify whatever but yeah anyway today is also my mum's birthday
so I'm I was gonna say Horizon but I won't she still looks so young and whenever she's
on my Channel all of you guys say how young and beautiful she is and so I often send her those
comments obviously I'm not at home with my mum for her birthday which is sad um they celebrated
because her birthday's Wednesday midweek my family celebrated mum's birthday this last weekend gone
um but it's also Mother's Day this Sunday coming so I haven't been there for mum's joint birthday
party or on her birthday today but I I'm going home on Sunday for a Mother's Day birthday
celebration yeah sadly when I live this far north it's just not practical to like go basically it
would have meant me going back last weekend coming back going back again this weekend so I was like
I'll just go once so I've timed it with Mother's day but today I'm meeting Cherry my friend Cherry
Wallace she's a YouTuber you've probably heard of her she was on my channel during blogvember where
we met for the first time I went to her house and a little village where she lives we went for lunch
and this will be the second time we've met up although we voice note and message all the time
so it feels like I've met her way more than I have but yeah we're going into Sheffield today a place
called Meadow Hall which is a massive shopping center I don't know how much I'll Vlog I'll try to
Vlog a little bit but um yeah I'm just excited to have a little midweek day off I mean I've
been working this morning for the launch of happy healthy homo and I'll be working this evening when
more videos and more content goes live but the daytime today is all about having fun deepening
new friendships and buying stuff I need some underwear so I'm really sorry Cherry but I'm gonna
have to drag you men's underwear shopping it's 45 minutes away what 47 minutes so um yeah it's
bang in the middle of where me and Cherry live Cherry's got a 45 minute drive north and I've got
a 45 minute drive south and uh so it's like the perfect place to meet it feels like such a luxury
guys I mean I have been working a lot this morning on the launch of the podcast everything is sort of
done and ready except for I've I was supposed to meet Chariot 12 but I said can we meet at 12 15
just because the podcast launches at 12 so I need to quickly do a few little social media posts and
then I can forget about it until this evening but it feels like such a luxury to just essentially
take today off you know from now until later this afternoon just going shopping like a teenager do
you remember when you used to go shopping I don't know about you guys but it was my first taste of
Independence where on a Saturday uh me and my friends would go into Southampton into town and
uh go shopping and I wouldn't have much money to spend but uh well actually that said I did get a
full-time job at 17. so for a time between for a year like 17 and 18 I had a lot of money to spend
because obviously I wasn't paying rent I had no bills I had no commitment so all the money I was
earning I just got to spend on whatever I wanted so there was a period of my life at age 17 where
I was just very rich and then adulthood came and then responsibilities and bills that was a shock
the first Port of Call I'm actually going to stop at Dunkin Donuts not for a coffee I'm
gonna stop for a Pepsi Max which is strange I've just realized guys Keegan's actually at Dunkin
Donuts working he's gonna think I'm checking up on him I'm not going in he's in there somewhere
but I'm just going through the drive-through I'm gonna message him no no can we get a fire all
right can I just get a Pepsi Max yeah everything yeah that's everything thank you thanks my name
cool thank you uh oh I do actually yeah definitely thank you yes please
great thanks very much thank you you too all right just pulled off my car my phone holder
I did text Keegan say guess who's at donkey but he'll be working so I think he's on a call or
something this does not stick when I get my new car I need to get a new one of these because this
just does not work anymore quickly have a sip of this and then I need to call my mum lovely
just what I needed hey Siri call Mum hello my lovely hello happy birthday thank you sorry I
was just picking up dog food that's all right right we've arrived we've actually
already been here for a while yeah we've had lunch welcome Mom is always so good we had
Tap House so it wasn't supposed to be Tapas but we just ordered loads of small dishes
um but we have already been shopping being back to our cars dropped off the shopping and now
we're going for round two which is ridiculous we shouldn't shop together yes get that coke get that
jacket job I've just spent 250 pounds on a new coat and then cherries just spent 250 pounds on
new Apple airpods so I lost mine like an idiot yeah and I will always wear coats yeah it's an
investor so yeah see we're enabling each other now anyway next stop I think is waterstones which we

and just lots of shopping we both spent about the same amount and we both spent far too much I mean
we did buy books in waterstones I bought two books and Cherry bought two or three I think even though
we said we wouldn't but you know what I was saying to Cherry I haven't had a shopping day like this
for so long probably the last time would have been when me and Leah went to the US which was
about a year ago because we always like to go go shopping in the malls in America but apart from
that yeah I've not really been shopping in person I've bought stuff online but so it's really nice
just to go and try things on and I buy a few bits that I needed or did I need them I don't
know but anyway it took 45 minutes to drive here this afternoon or this morning it's not going to
take an hour and 15 to get back because of rush hour it's only four o'clock but ridiculous I'm
back home we're walking in the rain Fletcher's at football but we both got a little bit of work
to do in Starbucks Minister you are a minister happy podcast launch day I have a podcast long
story how exciting the weather's uh turned for us yeah it can't rain on our parade not today
I am all right let's go get a hot chocolate
hey guys it's the next day and I just thought I'd do a little haul of some of the things that
I bought because as I said I don't really go shopping that much anymore if I do shopping I
do some online and I was like you know what let me just like old school YouTube Do You
Remember When YouTubers used to do hauls all the time although I'm sure some YouTubers still
do but I never really have there's some big purchases here so the first thing I'll talk
you through I bought a couple of these from Bath and Body Works so I've only ever been
to Bath and Body Works in the US but they're now in the UK and Cherry recommended these to
me there's a whole range of different scents and flavors and they're Foaming Hand spray so
I'll just show you and then I'll have to go wash my hands but look it comes out as foam
and it smells incredible so this flavor is orange and ginger and you just use it like normal soap
and then wash your hands which I'm gonna have to do now bear with we're done I don't know why but
the fact that it turns from Gel into a foam just makes it really cool and I love it and it smells
great so and it feels nice and light on your hands the other sort of bath type things we went to Lush
Cherry's a big fan of bath bombs she was filling her basket with bath bombs and I was like I want
a bath bomb so I accidentally spent 32 pounds on bath bombs which I really shouldn't have done guys
I should not have I'm not I'm gonna admit that is reckless of me in a cost of living crisis to spend
32 pounds on bath bombs however our bathrooms have just been redone here and I thought you know what
I am having more baths and I'm using Epsom salts a doctor has told me to use epsom salts in the
bath so I was like you know what I'm gonna get some bath bombs that have Epsom salts inside
them it also got a hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works so this one smells incredible
it was so strong it's a lavender one and apparently it's got loads of lavender bits
in it which is why you put it in the bath in the bag and then all the bits are contained
um but that smells incredible despite coughing it does smell really nice and I won't show you
all of them because you'll probably be bored but I got lots of fruity ones that look like fruits
so this is a lemon one oh my gosh it smells incredible the good thing about these because
they're quite expensive they're like they could be up to five pounds each these I think this was
only four 350 or four but you can divide this into two and so it'll do you two baths so I got a few I
did come out with a couple of books guys which I said I wouldn't Jerry recommended this one I
wanted sort of a fantasy novel because I tend to just read like crime and if you've seen some of
my book recommendations lately they're all quite diverse because I'm trying to expand my taste and
I wanted something like a new fantasy world the last time I was in a fantasy world in a book was
probably Harry Potter so Jerry recommended this series called a court of thorns and roses and then
I kept seeing these in lots of different bookshops by the time we got to a second Bookshop I was like
okay it's a sign I need to get them this is called the fine print and it's a series of three I'm not
gonna sum it up for you because I I don't know and the blurb I'm not gonna read through the blurb but
if you're interested I'm gonna be reading this at some stage now the biggest purchase guys which was
something I've been thinking about for a while so it wasn't an Impulse buy but the color is an
Impulse buy so I wanted a brand new North Face coat which I know we're going into spring and
summer but I love coats the color is the bit Rogue I went for purple it's just a purple puffer jacket
basically guys but I was gonna initially I went in to get a black one and then cherry and the store
person was like don't go for boring black and I was like but I love black um but they were like
if you're gonna spend this much on a coat and I I don't even want to tell you how much it was
but if you're gonna spend this much on a Coke go for an interesting color a green a purple a yellow
so I was like you know what you are right and this is a faded purple so it's not it's not like
really in your face purple and because most of my clothes are black I know this isn't black but it
will look cool with black jeans black T-shirt and a purple jacket so I got this but yeah basically
I haven't bought any new coats this year I know coach should last you years and this will because
this is a North Face one the only thing I'm sad about guys is I didn't even think about what it's
stuffed with I always buy synthetic coats not stuffed with duck down because I'm against it
and I'm so anti-ducked down and goose down for duvets bedding because it's cruel it's cruel
if you watch how they do it it will break your heart you'll never buy it ever again and also I
don't think down is like people like oh Down's the warmest thing it's not they're synthetic materials
people create nowadays is really good and so you will understand my Devastation when they they were
like I'm putting a care sheet in because it's an expensive coat and there's certain ways to look
after it I was like okay cool I got this out what does it say care instructions for down products
livid absolutely livid I mean I know I could return it but I mean it's a trek and I don't
think I will but it's a lesson to me to check before I buy something I'm really annoyed so
yeah basically I don't make a habit of it and I don't have any down products all of my coats are
synthetic and so this is my cruelty coat so yeah I don't feel great about it guys but never mind it
won't happen again so guys I am now running a one in one out policy with all clothing so my new coat
is going into my wardrobe my new coat is going into I'll admit it this is an overflow wardrobe
this is the Wardrobe in my office slash spare bedroom and from here to here is all my coats
that aren't downstairs are in my other wardrobe so you can see the problem I'm having but I think
it's time to get rid of this one sadly I mean I love it and it is my only other garish coat but it
was a very cheap one from TK Maxx it was about 25 30 pounds and I've had it for about five six years
so I'm like I think it's time to retire this coat and send it to a charity Shop new one going in
guys I've just had another delivery and I want to share it with you because it's really cool
but I'm just aware that I've just shown you like what I bought from the soup not Supermarket from
the shops yesterday combined with the fact that recently I've just bought a car as well and like
I'm sure everyone's gonna think that I'm just such a spender and I'm not I'm a saver I'm a saver
and a spender sometimes and recently I'll agree like I have spent more also like on birthdays
and things it's been my mom's birthday and it's Mother's Day it's my brother's birthday coming up
here's my brother's girlfriend's birthday other brother got a new job so I sent him a gift it's
just been like spending a lot of money on on gifts for other people so I got a sponsored
advert by this company Elizabeth Scarlett for eye masks and some of you will know that I sleep with
an eye mask on and I couldn't resist because they were so beautiful and this again transparency this
is not sponsored I've paid for this I just I'm excited by it I hope it's as good quality as it
looked online Moment of Truth okay oh and it's in another little bag okay Forest Greeks I've
ordered a forest green color so that must be why very Slytherin isn't it it's not a Harry Potter
themed yay I mean it is quite girly I'd admit it's girly but it's got embroidered giraffes
giraffes are my absolute favorite animal they're my favorite animal and this came in multiple
different colors and I saw green one and I was like that's for me so this is what it looks like
oh gosh oh that's lovely the trouble is I won't want to ruin it by like sleeping on it and stuff
but oh my gosh it's so comfy and it's dark that is good I'm pleased with that because
you know how like Facebook or Instagram ads can be really misleading and you get them and you're
like that's really bad quality but this is really good Elizabeth Scarlett it says on here it's got
a photo of Elizabeth and everything and it says I hope this eye mask adds a little luxury and a
lot of joy to your everyday so much care has gone into its creation from the hand-painted Motif to
each individual strand of embroidered thread two percent of our annual sales are donated
to Wildlife Conservation Charities thank you for supporting our mission to protect keystone
species for future Generations that is really nice I didn't actually know that when I bought it but
two percent of the profits go to conservation Charities so that is great hopefully they go to
the giraffes because these I mean I don't know if anyone knows that about me I don't know how
much I've said about animals but giraffes since being a child have been my favorite
animal since I fed them in the zoo when I was younger that's one of my first memories
well he's feeding the giraffes and my parents were like you just absolutely were obsessed with them
and when I was younger I used to ask for a pet giraffe for my birthday and Christmas every year
and I genuinely didn't know that I couldn't have one I was just like why can't I have a picture off
so I love that there is one more thing that I want to show you not in this Vlog because it's not
arrived but I did also place an order for two new dog bowls um which are being personalized uh for
Ava and Finn and uh I think they won't get here for another couple of weeks so I will show you
when they arrive but I promise you guys I'm not a spender I've just been a spender this week but
after this this is it now saving saving for summer I'm gonna end the Vlog here guys thank you so much
