AD A FEW DAYS WITH ME | BDAY OUTFIT TRY ON | FIRST RUN POST MARATHON | ZOE RAE

Hi everybody, welcome back to another video. How are we all doing? First video back post-marathon, first time I've chatted to you post-marathon. Oh my goodness, what a whirlwind that was. I feel like the response I've been getting from my marathon vlog, all the lovely comments I've been getting, have honestly blown me away to the point where I'm thinking actually maybe I do need to do another marathon again one day.

Not anytime soon, but one day, but yeah, how is everybody? How's everybody's week going? If you could hear some noise in the background, we are actually having quite a lot of work done to the garden. And when I say quite a lot of work, sadly to Danny's dismay, it's kind of being ripped out and redone because we, when I say we, Danny really, really,

really tried with our garden to make it work but we actually had quite a big dip in the middle of the garden which meant a lot of water was pooling we were getting quite a lot of flooding and then with the dog like we were having to fence it off and it was just an absolute nightmare so we got some landscapers in that are currently redoing our garden for us yeah if you hear some noise in my videos actually for about six weeks that's how long it's gonna take I do apologize but I do feel like the most of the noise is gonna happen early on so we should be good I just wanted to start the vlog now

because I nipped to the petrol station there was an M&S petrol station to grab some bits I wanted to make a nice salad because quite frankly I'm so happy that I don't have to worry about carbs and carb loading for a while now. Got some cherry tomatoes, some olives. My mum's popping around the next few days. So I don't know if she's staying here or staying with Molly, but I got some smoked salmon because I know she likes smoked salmon. Got some milk.

Lettuce. Cucumber. lettuce, cucumber, some pomegranate seeds because I like pomegranate seeds in my salad. I got this chicken which I thought I could just do in the oven either tonight or tomorrow. Some prawns that I could maybe put in the salad or the chicken could go in the salad and then I just got these wedges. A bit a bit of a lazy shot, but I just didn't really know what was going on in terms of where my mum's staying so I thought I'd just get stuff that's not like, a lot of it's not really good dates

and it's not gonna go to waste and even if she's not staying, stuff that I can just quickly I'll post this on Sunday and it's my birthday on Wednesday the 29th. I'm gonna be 30 which I'm actually not mad about like people are like oh my god, how do you feel turning 30? I'm really not too bothered to be honest like Hey into bed and then we'll go for a walk Into bed and then we'll go for a walk. Yes, my 30th birthday. I'm excited I feel like we've got lots of lovely things to do lots of nice plans

I've ordered some outfit options for a little day out that I've got this weekend with my friends I'll try that one for you later I think I'm gonna pack all this away and take the dog out for walks He's itching to get out and then we can catch up in a bit, but guys, thanks so much for clicking on this video I think the weather is going to be really, really lovely for the next few days. We found a really quiet field that's really good. Um, they're like normally no dogs, but there is another dog on there, which is fine. Let's see if we get good recall. Otis come. Yay. Good boy. Yes. Sit.

Sit. Good boy. Stay. Stay. Yeah, we've actually got a really lovely few days planned since Molly's having a tiny little like really intimate baby shower tomorrow. I wouldn't even call it a baby shower to be honest, like, it's more just like a lunch. Um, she really didn't want like a big fossy baby shower. So just something super chilled tomorrow. My mum's up Going out with my friends on Saturday to celebrate my birthday

Danny's away for five days from today because he's on like a little fitness training camp, um, which is really lovely for him

I was also invited on that but

One of us has to be here to look after the dog. So probably in time like when Otis gets older

and like just like less hard work we could probably keep him with people maybe but I just think for now whilst he's still a little baby I wouldn't want to do five days both of us away from him. Good boy! Good boy! Come on then! Guys honestly I feel like you can't really write it with me at the minute. Everything seems to be going a bit wrong, but I have had an allergic reaction to my face today. I don't know what from, but my face has swollen so much and I've got, I don't know if you can see, but I've got all rashes down here and here and all up here and my face feels so so hot I don't know what's happened I'm trying to think what it could be the only thing I can think that it could be

was when I walked Otis earlier it was in like quite long grass and I do get quite bad hay fever but I've taken antihistamine and I feel like that antihistamines made it worse like look at my face it's I feel like it's gone really stiff as well could really do with a face mask. Not the one I thought. I thought this was the glass one that made your skin go clear.

But I feel like a face mask might help. I'm going to use this L'Oreal Paris Re-plumping Mask. Not that I need re-plumping anymore. But I just feel like it might make me feel a bit cooler. Is that a good idea or is that not a good idea? I just feel really hot. I definitely feel like I'm going to get a face mask on because this... it's not good. I've got so much coming up as well guys. I can't even tell you like my face really needs to sort itself out. My skin is like all inflamed as well. Hmm. What could that possibly be? I've got a massive shoot, like possibly the

biggest shoot of my life on Monday. I've obviously got my birthday weekend. Molly's got her baby shower tomorrow. I've got my birthday next week, then I've got like a family birthday weekend. Oh no. Let's use this then. Revitalift filler. I don't think that's what I need, but these ones are really good. I just think I need something really cooling to the face. Perfectly moults the skin to reach even the finest lines for best results.

Okay, let's get this on. I feel like this is going to feel so good. I don't know if you guys can really see it on the camera. I mean, you probably can. You can see back here, like my face is so swollen. What? Yeah, we've got a really busy day tomorrow for Molly's baby shower, so that'll be lovely. I just really hope it's gone down by then.

Mm, I don't know.

Oh, this is really what I need right now. This is gonna feel so nice and cold.

Yeah, yeah, hell yeah.

Hell yeah.

It wasn't even me that noticed it, I was just at Molly's then. Because my mum was there, my mum's actually staying with me now. She was going to stay at Molly's but I begged her to stay at mine because I'm by myself. And she was like, Zoe, what's up with your face? I was like, what do you mean? She's like, you've got a rash all around your neck. These things always come at the worst time. I'm hoping it will go down in a couple of hours. But anyway, I've had a really nice afternoon.

Yeah, my mum came up. We've just chilled at Molly and Tommy's in the garden with the dog. It's been obviously hectic. The thing with having a puppy is they just, I think this is a puppy thing in general, but when they're not in their environment, it's really hard for them to just like settle. Like he was just literally 100 miles an hour the whole time,

but that's just what he's like, like when we're not at home. When we're at home, he's fine. I cannot tell you how much better that feels already.

Wow. Okay.

I'm going to sit with this on and love you and leave you guys and chat to you in a bit. Good morning, everyone, from slightly less red face, but still swollen and I really actually that's what I meant to do. Take some anti-histamines. I meant to do that this morning.

I did tell you to.

Yes.

Just the hay fever one yeah, this allergy one. This is just the boots one, Luratadine. God do you remember I used to have to take them all the time. I do have really bad hay fever but I don't feel like it's hay fever. I don't know if you can see. Anyway, we've got Molly's baby shower in a couple of hours.

We really need to get ready because I can't really be like this. We've just been into town and done some spontaneous shopping. We've both got brand new outfits for the baby shower.

It's like an hour's time.

Yeah, we really do need to get ready. Just take this time up. So I thought I'd show you what we've got. My plan is to wear some white jeans or these jeans which I just picked up from M&S and they're absolutely love. I've seen your vlog from M&S and those are like a burst of the day. I've not seen these before I really like them. They've got like a, they're like textured. With these, with a little white kitten heel, a white t-shirt, and then something like this,

over my shoulders, tied round like this. This one's better for you. Mum got two co-ords. What we've decided with mum and I, is that because neither of us are very like, we're not fashionistas,

we don't really know how to put an outfit together, we've decided that cowards really are just the best option for us. So M&S sizes, you've got to size up at the moment. Yeah, those jeans I've got, the 10 just fit me, I nearly had to get a 12.

And I'm in a 16. That's mad. Okay, I'm pretty much finished, I've just given my hair a little something something with this new tool that I've got. I think it's called a mind focus. I think it's called Bondi Boost Air Styler. It's like an air wrap but I just really really enjoy it. Like I've been using it so much like all the time. I feel like it's making me really make more

of an effort with my hair. Although I haven't really done a very good job today. But like I've really rushed it. Just to like all the time. I feel like it's making me really make more of an effort with my hair. Although I haven't really done a very good job today, but like I've really rushed it. Just to keep that semi in place, I'm just going to pop some of this L'Oreal Elmette hairspray on. It is some of the best hairspray. I don't know why this hairspray. So I'll let that sit for a bit and then I'll brush it out. She haven't got any foundation on at all today, you can probably tell, but I just feel like for day things

I don't really need it. And I've just tried for the first time, because it's super sunny today, I wanted another like, glotion, like my L'Oreal Glotion, that had an SPF in it. One of my makeup bags, L'Oreal Bright Reveal Daily Fluid Tinted Glow. Oh my goodness, when I put this on I was like, that's incredible, it gave me such a nice colour. And the fact that it's got SPF in it as well is great. And then I'm just going to pop some of this

on to keep my makeup in place. I need to sort my lips happens when I don't put together an outfit. I actually end up really liking it. It was my friend Lydia that kind of like dressed me. So this is the finished look with our messy hallway and all our parcels. Just having a brioche before the Uber comes and picks us up. This clutch has been with me for the longest time and I use it all the time. It's from Olivia Sayles and I think she actually finds it really funny how much I use it.

Like every single picture of me wearing something nice, I'm wearing this bag. You can just get everything in it. You can get flip flops in here, you can get a change of shoes in here, you can get a change of clothes in there.

If and when I ever have a baby and have a baby shower, this is how I'd want it to be. This is the most gorgeous, cutest, intimate thing ever. coastal plains, endless views that we're passing through making our way to a distant place, just us two somewhere new Good evening everybody, it's bedtime.

What a long day, honestly I feel like I've lived about 10 lives today. Definitely better, still swollen around here, not entirely sure why, what's going on there. But we're definitely better, I didn't look too bad today. I'm just gonna sort myself out and get ready for bed because it's bedtime and I'm tired. I'm actually, funnily enough, I didn't think I was gonna do this but Fern messaged me saying, do you want to go for a run tomorrow morning? I said okay, I think I can manage maybe like

7k. I do feel a little bit tired. I just have one really really sore toe that I'm not entirely sure I can even get like a shoe on. I can get a shoe on but I just don't know how I feel about running to be honest. But I'm really, really wanting to give it a go. I'm really excited about it, which is so weird because you guys remember post London Marathon I was so like anti-running, didn't want to do it for for ages so the fact that I don't feel like I'm really quite relieved about just using some of these Medi-cube

paw pads. I've washed my face and stuff in the shower earlier, I just want to have another go with these. It still was absolutely gorgeous like it was just it was the most perfect like Molly coded baby shower ever. Um, it was super chilled vibes, like just really low key, really chilled. It was, it was perfect.

Really.

Um, thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was incredible. We had like, it was Caesar salad, we had smash burgers, like tomato vodka pasta, honestly, like everything. 10 out of 10.

Can't stop thinking about it.

I'm going to brush my teeth and I've left my mum downstairs watching The Housemaid. I have actually watched The Housemaid like three times but it was actually getting to the seat the hotel room scene with Sidney Sweeney and whatever he's called with Andrew I don't know what his name is in real life and I just thought you know what this is a good time for me to go to bed because I don't really fancy sitting with my mum watching the hotel scene from the housemaid. If you know, you know. I'm going to let you know how tomorrow's run goes. I'm really excited,

which is so weird. I think it's because like no pressure, it's a no pressure run. It's the first run since January that I've just been able to just like go on training for marathon. Fun was so good. I'm just so buzzing that I've got no niggles, no pain touch wood. I definitely felt like my legs had run a marathon at the weekend. Like I didn't anticipate them to feel as tired as they were, which is really quite silly to be honest. But yeah, I really enjoyed it. And do you know why me and Ferm were saying like it was

because we chose to go and run, not because we had to go and run because we were training for the marathon does that make sense like I just felt like my head was just so in the zone to run because I wanted to go and run which to be honest I'm buzzing about because I was so worried that I was gonna feel how I did after London Marathon last year but anyway I'm back home I've done some jobs and some work this morning and now it is time to try on my birthday outfit for tomorrow. It's not really my birthday tomorrow but I'm going out with

my friends to celebrate my birthday in town tomorrow but like a fun day out so I've got some outfit options I just thought we could try them on together. Outfit option number one I don't hate but I'm not as in love with it as I thought I would be. Let me close that door downstairs. It's this top from Arrange which I do really like. I don't hate but I'm not as in love with it as I thought I would be. Let me close up, I'm going upstairs. It's this top from Arrange which I do really like. I don't actually think it's as flattering as I thought it was going to be.

I really like something one shoulder but... I don't know, Mum what do you think? I love it.

It is nice.

It's not as nice as I thought it was gonna be the tops not overly flattering I don't feel I like I really like it the top is nice I don't know if I'm wearing it right it's all on the right side yeah it is the tan I definitely have to have my hair up with this which could be nice okay not sold not sold let's try on the second top I had in mind. This is way more fun. This is more 30th birthday than the other one. Belt? No, no belt.

Okay.

It's a shame because I meant to buy a silver clutch and some silver shoes, but I forgot and they won't come in time before tomorrow. I think it would need to be maybe half up, half down. Yeah, that would be nice. That could be cute. I think this neckline needs to be out. I definitely prefer this.

I've got a couple more options. I wish I could ask everyone's opinion now. This is more fun, right? This is more party party. I really don't know. I think this is gorgeous,

but I think it might irritate me. I think I feel more comfortable in the other one. I think this is a bit fussy. Do you know what I mean? It is a gorgeous top, but maybe nicer for holiday. Yeah, it's quite a holiday, isn't it?

Very holiday.

This is from, where's this from? Noughts and Kisses. Everything else I've shown you so far is from ASOS, but it's on the slightly pricier side, but it's my 30th after all. But I just think for the sort of day we're planning on having, maybe a bit too fancy, a bit too dressy. I don't know, it's really nice.

Oh my God, I'm obsessed with it. Why are they so big?

Maybe the same kitchen. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Stop it. You weren't actually meant to see this but I thought there's no way that I'm going to get through the middle without... No, no, no, no. Oh, I'm buzzing with this. I know. Oh, it's so good. Thank you.

Happy Saturday guys, it's party day. Woo! Party day! Woo! My 30th's not till Wednesday but we're celebrating it today. It's birthday month. Liz has just brought me round some balloons. These are for me and Fern.

Thank you so much. Here we are! I'm glad Otis isn't here today.

I literally thought...

I don't know how I'm going to run. Game over with the dog. Nah, I think you'd be fine through there. So cute, like so warm. But these ones, you've got to put them on. How do you get them in your car? You've got great difficulty.

These tights, guys.

Look at JB!

Hello. Hello.

Shall we have a mosaic? Yeah, we will do when you come across it. Oh my god, they've come out nice. Oh, I meant to tell you, they are the most beautiful flowers I've ever had in my life. My mum could stop talking about them. What are they? Are they daffodils? Are they the tulips? No, I don't think they are. That's not a tulip. I think they're daffodils. Obviously, you've got one stump out. Genuinely, they bring me so much. I said really right and gave you that. Honestly, I have some of the best friends ever Bless them dropping these rounds. I didn't even think to do something like that, you know, but oh

We would so cute. I'm really looking forward to today. The Sun is shining to be a glorious day I've gone with this top and I'm gonna have my hair like I haven't done it properly I'm gonna have it like like, I haven't done it properly. I'm gonna have it like half up, half down, I think. Someone's coming around to do my makeup now, which I'm really excited about. Really got all out today, but I'm not very good at makeup,

so I just thought it'd be nice if someone did it for me. But yeah, really, really excited. Just bought some silver jewelry, some silver earrings. Got this little silver bracelet too. And I can't wait guys, I'm really excited. I might just put a little montage clip in of our afternoon slash evening. Don't think I'll chat to the camera too much,

but I might do. Depends how the day goes, you know.

Depends what happens.

We'll see, whatever happens next, just enjoy.
