day honestly I do not want to start this
Vlog on a bad note or come across
ungrateful ever I've said this before I
am so grateful to be a state home mom it
is the most content and like purpose
filled I've ever felt in my life but I
know that all of my fellow moms even if
you're not a stay-at-home mom have those
days where you're like overwhelmed
usually I work one day a week sometimes
two like 2 days a week is perfect for me
cuz I get everything done I can manage
my team I feel stimulated and creative
and then I like I miss the boys so much
so that my mom days it's just like so
much more fulfilling but the last like
yeah nearly 2 weeks our babysitter has
been sick my mom hasn't been able to
watch the boys it's just I I've just
been home with the boys yeah I just had
one of those moments yesterday where I
was like crying to Kurt saying like I
just I just needed time to like feel
like myself like work you know anyway I
feel really grateful it's just the boys
boys boys are so intense
in my previous two pregnancies I was so
nauseous I pretty much laid down and ate
popcorn chicken for the first trimester
of both Fox and Malachi's pregnancy by
far this has been my easiest and
smoothest pregnancy so far of course I
was still nauseous in the first
trimester but it wasn't so bad that I
had to stop my training routine my
weekly workout routine hasn't changed
that much of course my exercises and my
intensity has changed but I've pretty
much been going to the gym like four
maybe five times a week so I'm currently
doing the body and bump pregnancy
workout guide this is week 16 and this
is the strength workout which my heart
rate was pumping I was you'll see at the
end I'm sweating my absolute face off so
this was a really good workout that my
booty was burning my arms were burning
but I felt like it was cardio at the
same time oh my gosh I feel disgusting I
bought this new long sleeve shirt I love
wearing long sleeve shirts when I'm
craigy it's just like I feel compact
this is an active wear shirt and usually
like when I'm pregnant I don't care I'll
train in a sports bra but I'm not even
going to show you this sports bra is so
small for me now when I'm not pregnant
you guys know I'm a double a potentially
a AAA like I'm so flat and now I'm like
I'm an A and nothing crazy but I am like
just fitting into this sports bra so my
boobs are like squished and I just
didn't feel comfortable to be fair I am
wearing natural deodorant which like
encourages you to sweat it out but like
not stink like I don't wear an
antiperspirant that's disgusting it was
a great workout though I need to stay
and do my pelvic floor exercises because
at the end of every strength day in body
and bump you have to do like some pelvic
Flor holds and some pulses so I'm going
to stay consistent this pregnancy and
take care of my pelvic floor but
I cannot wait to go home and get this
off don't judge me don't judge me okay
that's gross that's disgusting that is
disgusting that's the
question did genz know who Sporty Spice
is like are they familiar with the Spice
Girls is that like their parents music
as a millennial my energy or like my
vibe my brief for today's outfit is
Sporty Spice has a meeting I just feel
like I'm the most comfortable in some
kind of sport Lux wear I actually have
been filming more fashion related
content over on my Instagram so if you
like that let me know I've got this
shirt from araminta James to be fair I
can't be too picky right now with what
I'm wearing because not a whole lot fits
me I'm pretty sure none of my jeans are
going to work right now and I love all
of my like oversized suit pants that's
like my favorite kind of stuff to wear
and none of them fit me this is the
first time I've ever been pregnant in
this season like I'm usually heavily
pregnant in summer which is great
because you just wear bikinis and linen
but now I'm getting bigger and bigger as
it gets colder which probably means I'm
going to have to buy
clothes I think that's cool bommer is
from Zara and then pants are also from
araminta James let's do a statement
earring either these ones or these ones
my issue is I have paper thin ears I've
just always had really tiny ears so I
fall in love with earrings like this but
they're just too heavy for my ears like
I can wear these for 3 hours Max and
then I feel like it's like stretching I
think when it comes to sporty outfits
that's how I make it look more fashioned
forward and put together is gold jewelry
slightly different we have the teardrop
shape or this like chunky semicircle
think I like the semicircle
unfortunately and it's the heaviest one
PS This is the best base for makeup it's
the Charlotte Tilbury magic cream
definitely not new in the game I feel
like this is everyone's OG it's just the
best like it makes my makeup stay on all
day and look like I've just done it so I
just realized I haven't told you what
I'm even getting ready for and what the
to-do list of today is and I have to be
careful tread on eggshells a little bit
and I hate being this person but I'm not
technically allowed to disclose
everything but like read between read
between the lines okay like get what I'm
trying to tell you so maybe like 4
months ago I had a meeting with one of
my favorite brands of all time something
I use every single day who is Elijah
it's my favorite perfume I wear Haze and
nomad not only do I love the brand I
love the product love the perfume but I
actually love the people who own it they
are friends so anyway we had a meeting
and today is our second follow-up
meeting where I get to explore their
warehouse and smell some scents and yes
exciting things coming so if you get
what I'm saying you get what I'm saying
we're meeting them at their warehouse at
11:00 so it's 10:30 now and then from
there I kind of have to have a pamper
day a little bit because one of my best
friends Elise she was my best friend in
KY she was actually one of my
bridesmaids she's getting married on
Saturday it's Thursday right now but
tomorrow we're heading up to her wedding
location and doing like bridesmaid stuff
and helping her set up and like just
hanging with the bride so today I need
to get look how grown up my nails are I
need to get my nails redone I'm just
going to do a home fake tan I was going
to book in and get a spray tan by Bri
but honestly I was just too unorganized
and I just wasn't confident I would fit
it in with like picking the boys up I
don't feel guilty but like I said I
haven't worked into 2 weeks so I really
would love to just have a day where I
smash out this meeting I can have a call
with booktopia about my Cookbook by the
way the second print run is now live so
if you want to grab my cookbook I will
link it
[Music]
below is it dumb to be wearing perfume
if I'm going to be testing it on my skin
you know how like perfume on paper
smells different on your skin I was
going to put some Haze on which I'm
honestly about to run out of oh noad
let's just do
Haze oh and what do you think of the new
hair length I obviously chopped like
this much well I didn't Kirby did
chopped this much of my extensions off
cuz we had it really long for the active
wear shoot but I just felt like it was a
little bit too long for life and this
one looks a bit more elegant considering
Nothing fits me I think we did really
well let's see what Kurt thinks Kurt is
the toughest critic what do you think of
my outfit be honest fantastic really
yeah I like I love those pants they're
cool aren't they should we go yeah
oh my God a um a multi a toy cup
multi go
department and stuff look at the size
you wonder it's about your personality
too what am I
giving what am I giving it's fresh it's
vibrant um saying I look 12 you almost
that how do you stop yourself from like
just everything smelling the same you
have sinus
issues cuz I swear after I smell like
three I'm like now I'm done I can't my
feedback so far for this one it's too
floral I don't want to be too Savage but
need to be Savage sometimes it's better
to figure out what you don't
need yeah this one's more like nature
Vibes but like not in a Floral Way in
like a forest way if that makes
sense I love it
earthy so visual but like a green earth
so we call this last one we call it gin
fizz gin fizz that's fun so we have more
spice and arom they so different yeah
that's fun this is the closest to this
so far like this is like summer nights
like you go to the Mal Dives you're
going out to dinner how you smell it
yeah this this has been our favorite day
really yeah guys are in syn I've never
smelled anything like this before yeah
it smells very different you know it's a
bit sensual you know like a bit like
nauy don't you think it smells like I
got
pregnant we should call
it winter warmth but like summer nights
you know and then what will happen to it
over the over the next few hours so
it'll get warmer like lighten it up a
bit and add like a bit of fruit salad to
it you
know like how do you guys explain this
yeah like right can you make it's a
fruit salad like like a bit more
feminine yeah a bit of like a light CH
or like a white tea or a cucumber but
like don't take any of this literally
cuz it's a little bit heavy and a little
bit masculine for me now is it possible
to add sweetness to this with not
compromising the
scent that was a sensory
experience lucky it smells amazing in
this car by the way I don't know what
there's like so many scents going on
there so many like it is tough to give
feedback on a scent when if like you
don't like something or you do like an
element of it it's hard to like pinpoint
it and like put it into words and
describe it so I just ended up doing
everything in some kind of like visual
format I was like I like the warmth and
like the comfort of this scent but I
don't like how maybe like masculine it
is so it was nice like I said like
sweetness and you said like some flavors
that you like yeah I think I'm just
really realizing I I just like those
warm
sweet scents like not too overly sweet
where it's like too young I want to feel
luxurious and like you know expensive
but yeah that was a really fun
experience and like something I've never
done before like I love working on
projects that are new and like I get to
learn new skills and like even like
learning about like that whole industry
of you know creating a scent fun PR cool
yeah okay on to the next task of the day
I'm starving so we're going to batch
lunch and maybe do some computer work I
honestly I have so many emails to get
through that is one thing I'm really not
good at like I am a creative through and
through I was just telling the who is
aijah Team this like any creative things
I prioritize I Love Thinking of ideas
coming up with Concepts working on my
cookbook coming up with video ideas but
like the business side of stuff and like
emails I just I really procrastinate and
I push it away I'm going to grab my
laptop take my airod Maxes I love
listening to lowfy beads oh my gosh I'm
puffed I forgot like the pregnancy puff
all right this this get a big bag I
think I'll get my nails done on the way
to pick up the boys and I think I've got
to pick up dinner as well for everyone
which is the least I can do if my mom is
watching my kids phone wallet lip balm
go work okay have fun love you love you
honestly wherever I park the closest
Cafe to what I park to does that make
sense that's where we're going to
go you know what's so annoying every
time I get pregnant every time I crave
two things red wine I don't even drink I
don't like I don't not drink but I just
I don't really drink I know I'm pregnant
when I crave red wine and chuna sashimi
the things I would do right now for
fresh sashimi and a red wine that's what
I want that's what I want to eat and
they are the two things that I cannot
eat right now
So Random I I'm so sad I usually use
this less sugar oat milk every morning
for my coffees and I went to buy it
again I usually just get it from
Woolworths which is like our normal
grocery store and they don't stock it
anymore and I went onto the Brand's
website couldn't find it I it's sold out
everywhere I don't know if they've like
discontinued it or what anyway I jumped
online and I wanted to try do you know
what I think I have had it before and I
don't remember what it tasted like in
coffee I want to try this does it say
Barista oh no okay well I bought three
so it's the OMG oat milk and I like the
sound of this one because there's no
seed oils in it it's just got olive oil
in it because if you look at most
plant-based milks it has some kind of
like canola oil sunflower oil things
like that this one the ingredients are
amazing let's just hope it froths and
like warms up well so I got three of
those yeah this this was like an online
health food store this is the best hand
sanitizer it's a spray it's been sold
out of my local health food store for
like months as you can see I actually
keep I keep one in my bag all the time
and actually me and all my mom friends
have this so whenever we're out with all
of our babies we just like spray each
other's kids so like I'll spray my boys
with this all the time it's completely
empty so this one can go but I got two
so that I have one in my everyday
handbag and then I'll put one in like my
