I'm now on YouTube!


 

Hi Guys!

Happy Thursday ♥

Welcome back to the blog.

So big exciting news! I'm officially on YouTube!

I've actually had an account for quite a few years now, just being a viewer really. I did put a short video of a couple of my kittens on there (which must of been around 2017) Rae and Rocco. (we sadly lost Rocco when he was 6 months old, but I'm so pleased I have that video of him, to be able to watch him anytime I want & somehow it feels like he's living on, through the power of the internet ♥)

I didn't post for years, but it's something, like blogging, I've always wanted to do, but I always put myself off. We are terrible to ourselves sometimes aren't we!? Because I feel awkward in front of the camera, have no idea how to edit a video, put music to it etc etc. I always just talked myself out of it. The whole self doubt talk would enter my head, telling myself who did I think I was, no one would be interested in watching anyway.

But like starting blogging again something shifted this year. Maybe it's because it's the year of the fire horse! Or maybe I literally just reached an age or time in my life that I really want to start doing things I want to do. If people want to judge and criticize, well that's up to them, literally none of my business. As long as I'm happy doing what I'm doing and not causing anyone any bother, then why the hell not.

I'm not doing this because I think I'm going to be the next Lydia Millen, I mean that would be amazing not gonna lie! But it isn't my sole goal or reason to start YouTube.

I have literally just been drawn to it. I want to be able to document daily goings on and save all these little moments in life. Then one day when I'm a little old lady I can have a good look back at my life : )

I am actually really chuffed with myself that I have managed to piece a video together to edit clips and add some music (with the help of Chat GPT providing an idiot proof step by step guide). Now, it's nothing amazing and I certainly have a lot of practice and learning to do, but for my first go, I don't think it's too bad. Considering I've never done anything like this before, other then a short Instagram reel.

I published my first video on Tuesday so I think I will try to stick to a Tuesday schedule. Tuesday for a YouTube video and Thursday for my blog post.

It's very early stages so I'm not going to put huge pressure on myself. If I'm slightly late uploading I'm not going to stress too much. I want this to stay being something fun and enjoyable.

So there we have it. I'm officially on YouTube sharing weekly vlogs.

My experience with Emdogain

  Hola mi amigos! Happy Thursday and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to chat today about my recent Emdogain surgery. They call it surgery, but I guess it's really a procedure, as it's done under local anaesthetic, they just numbed the area of the gum and it was done at my dentist practice. Either way it wasn't a pleasant thing to go though. My sympathy goes out to you if you're having this done or anything to do with your teeth for that matter.  I think since I had braces about 5 or 6 years ago my pain threshold for the dentist has completely gone down to zero. I never used to mind going to the dentist, but recently I dread it. It's probably because I'm getting older and things are sadly starting to go wrong. It just feels like every time you go they suggest something else that will need attention. Anyway, with that aside let me tell you a little bit about Emdogain. Well how I understand it anyway and what I've been through with i...

Skincare routine revisited + Beauty of Joseon review

  Hi guys welcome back to the blog ♥ Hope everyone's well and having a good week.  * * * Back in January I shared with you what skincare products I use daily and I mentioned I had bought a couple of new items which I would report back on. Here's the  link  to that post if you wanna quick read. About a week or so after writing that post I really started looking at my skin and to be honest it wasn't looking quite right. I always seem to have a red nose and red chin which does bother me. I don't drink alcohol very much at all, literally a glass of wine a month, if that, so it can't be alcohol related. I'm thinking maybe some sort of mild rosacea maybe or maybe it is my skin reacting to the products I use. I went on good old ChatGPT and that suggested I literally strip everything back basically and just use warm water to wash my face in the morning and minimise the products I'm using on my face. When I entered what I was using it recommended to stop using the to...

My daily beauty products

  Hi Guys, I hope 2026 is treating you well so far. In my previous  post  I mentioned about some beauty products I had just started using and I will report to you my thought's in due course, but it got me to thinking about the products I already use on a daily basis. My bathroom staples if you like, the go-to's.  It's something I'm always curious to know, what are the products on peoples sinks, their everyday toiletries. Not the ones that maybe an ad feature or collaboration, but the ones that get popped in the shopping basket week after week, month after month. The products that may not be as aesthetically pleasing, but always make the cut. I'm not going to go through every single product I use, 'cause quite frankly you and me just don't have the time and if you're anything like me you haven't got the attention span for it either. But I am going to show you the main players that I literally use everyday. Some I do switch up according to price and ju...
