Yay!
So, Hello.
Today is the 26th of January.
And what does that mean?
That means that yesterday was my birthday.
Happy Birthday to me!
So I am now the grand old age of twenty eight
How does it feel to be twenty eight?
on with my favourite things in January
ping
Tilly.
You are my favourite thing in January.
yes, yes you are
Okay, we're nearly done, there you go.
That's it, I'm out. I'm out
No, I'm totally kidding
She is my favourite thing, I think.
Most months it's true, as is my wife, but really I can't put them into every single favourites video
It would be very boring for you.
Six, six absolute favourite things for this month and they are...
In, oh I dunno, no order at all
Number one, the sleek make up pallette
ohhhh
Ahhh
Okay, this is the Ultra Mattes V2731
I'm gonna go with that
Called Eye Divine, mineral based eyeshadow powder.
Erm, Clara gave it to me
As a Christmas present
And I've used it pretty much every single day
It has three really good light shades
Erm, I'm a particular fan of these two
And mixing them together
It's got a really dark shade here which I am not actually a hundred percent sure whether that is a black or an incredibly dark green
But that's really it, it's one of the, I've never actually bought quite a dark shade before
And you've got some colours I've never tried.
Never yet tried, but I'm going to try them
I'm going to be really brave.
The best thing about this pallete actually Is the pigmentation. It's absolutely beautiful.
So green, so green and sparkly
That's now never going to come off either.
It's also delightfully matte
I'm not a big fan of the sparkle, so this really works for me
So there you go, now that's kind of ruined my arm and my hand and I can't touch stuff
But you know, what a good way to start a video.
Number two on my favourite things in January
Dah dah da dah!
Now, erm, finding really good, kind of vintage looking shoes
Is a bit of a problem, especially if you are looking for ones that are comfortable enough to walk around in all day
I'm gonna actually do a little blog post, I believe
Oh, if you haven't checked out my blog already, do it.
It will be, the link is down below in the description
I'm going to do a little blog post about shoes
Because shoes complete your outfit
I think.
And you can have the most gorgeous vintage dress
Or retro skirt and
But, if you don't have the shoes that go with them and look good, what is the point?
What is the point?
I found these in a shop, whilst walking, wearing some incredibly painful but good looking shoes
Now, Hotter, is a brand that is in the UK
I'm afraid I don't know if they are anywhere else
Now they are generally known for making shoes for the older lady we shall say
The older lady. Which means that their shoes are incredibly comfortable.
They are also wide, which is good if you have wide feet
I have teeny tiny feet they are four and a half
They are four and a half, but they are wide. They are the width of a normal sized foot
But yeah, they started making shoes that are, they're still incredibly comfortable
They're still padded inside beautifully
The heel is sensible, we're gonna say.
It's not, you're not gonna fall over.
And you know, we've got the T Bar here, which I absolutely love, not only because it looks so wonderful
But also because it does actually keep your shoe on your foot
Vital
These have, since I bought them, become my absolute favourite shoe
And I think I have worn them every day
Every time I leave the house, I'm like I'll just slip these on
And they're just so comfortable
I cannot stress that enough
Prepare yourselves
Number three
It's a half eaten bag of what you might call chips
Being someone who can't really eat starches
I haven't been able to for a very long time
I can't really just go straight to things like eating lots of crisps
Erm and also looking for low carb snack foods
It's difficult people
It is difficult
And then I wandered across these
These are, I'm going to mispronounce this now. Papri Gathia.
Probably sounds better in an Indian accent but I'm not gonna do that.
These are made just with gram flour
Amazing, I don't know why I've not come across these before
They taste ruddy good
yeah
Number four on the things I love this month
Okay, this is a little sneak peak
It's a bit of a whoo
Exciting thing for a video that is about to come
Dah dah
Jessica, we don't know what this is.
Says the audience
Right, this is called the Blue Tempest Cincher
And it's from Kiss Me Deadly
Catherine who is the founder of Kiss Me Deadly is an absolute brilliant person
And my favourite person actually on my facebook feed
Because everything she says is genius
Kiss Me Deadly is one of those brands whose PR like Twitter and Facebook
You have to follow, simply because it's genius
Everything they respond to is straight out hilarious
They constantly get messages from really weird, seedy guys
And they just reply in the best way
So I mentioned to Catherine that I struggle finding gorgeous retro underwear
That really works for me
Due to my Scoliosis, my body is not even
er, I think I described that in an earlier video. Oh I did
My body confidence video
Watch it
So my waist kind of does this on one side and the other side does this
So I've tried kind of wearing corsets before, and corsetry, because I love that look
I do, and I really want to be able to do that
And she sent me some lovely pieces that I am going to try on for you
In a video that's coming up very soon
Including this fabulous, fabulous thing.
It's called the Blue tempest Cincher, it has given me a wonderful retro shape
and it doesn't hurt
It gives me a fabulous shape.
It looks really good under clothes
I'm going to show you in the video. I just cannot, cannot sing the praises enough of this thing
So yeah, go to the Kiss Me Deadly site
Check them out.
Make sure, make sure that you are ready for that video that is about to come.
It's going to be excellent
Excellent thing number five, yeah!
High five
Clementines
erm, I don't know whether this is an incredibly British thing
But this is pretty much what we survive on
We get a massive box of these delivered by the greengrocer, I'm talking a crate people
A crate
And they will usually last a week.
Especially if my brother and his girlfriend are around
Erm, but also Claudia and I get through them like you wouldn't believe
They're beautiful.
Easy peel clementines
And... Number six.
This, okay, this is actually my favourite thing in January
er, and it is my brace
Because it's really bloody working
Like, my teeth are actually moving
I dealt with wax and painful kind of issues at the back
Where it is the extra strands, put wax on that
It doesn't hurt now
They're Cfast, six months smile invisible braces, ceramic braces
Whatever you want to call them
They are lovely.
They appear to be working
I'm really excited
And of course I'm very happy to spend a lot of time with my dentist,
I have a very attractive dentist
I think I might run away with my dentist... mmn
Run away to Budapest
Yeah, you see what I did there
I know.
I know
So yes, right now I am in Budapest, I am twenty eight
We always go away for my birthday, it's excellent.
Went away for my twenty sixth birthday and she proposed
So
Good things, good things
And then for my last birthday, twenty seventh, we went to Malaysia for a month
Thank you so much for watching my favourites video. You guys are awesome
So much love for you
I can't wait to see you when I come back and read all of your comments
And probably, actually to be fair replying to all of your comments despite the fact I'm in Budapest.
Obviously because I have released this video.
