weekly vlog 💌👰🏼 unpacking, wedding prep, bridesmaid dress options + cook with me

it is wedding week and I guess like moving week as well like properly properly moving all of my stuff over I am currently making a match and yeah I'm actually not gonna go to work today just because I want to get majority of my unpacking done I still need to go to my apartment to get my stuff basically, which I haven't really brought over.I've only really bought the things that I need to leave, but I haven't actually brought everything over, so I didn't do that at one point.I have some wedding stuff that I need to finish.Riley's letter that she's opening in the morning, I still need to write that.Lots on, and I still don't have, well, no.I do have dresses, they just haven't arrived yet, but they are, two of them are due to arrive today, and one of them is due to arrive tomorrow, so.

Thank god also realized my vlog last week, but just didn't upload in 4k.So i've changed the settings on this I might have accidentally changed them But yeah, I realized when I uploaded it.I didn't have a 4k option So don't know what happened there, but I just changed the settings.So hopefully this vlog will be better quality I also got this it's actually a garlic grinder lol for I'm not obviously going to use it for garlic, don't worry, but I thought I could make like a strawberry puree out of real strawberries for like a strawberry match.I just put cinnamon in this, but that's okay.I'm going to see if it works.

Put it down here.I decided against the strawberry.I'll make that tomorrow.It's just because I put cinnamon in it and I just didn't want to ruin it.So I'm just making a banana bread one.This is what we're dealing with.

Like I actually couldn't even tell you what is in these boxes.Like a lot of it is kitchen stuff, like my thermo mix, pots, pans, all sorts.So I actually have lots of furniture as well from my old apartments that I'm going to sell.And I think I'm going to sell this, it's like a, makeup vanity mirror i just think it's way too big i think i want to get one half the size for my makeup space um i got that one from etoile so i wonder if they have any that are smaller what is this my ninja creamy that is definitely going in the kitchen would be handy one of those like old things blank street cupWhy do I need them?Baking soda and gelatin.

Are these old?No, actually.Okay, great.Gelatin.Icing sugar.Don't know why I didn't bring that with me to my apartment and I've put it in a box.

Okay, all of this stuff is like pots and stuff.Like lids.Picture this.It's just smashed.My God, guess who remembers these from my keto days?Like surely I don't need those.

I have so many of them.Oh my God, so many drink bottles.Hot Girl Habits, definitely keeping that.I think that's my stuff for my juicer.It might come in handy for my house warming.Oh my God, the mems.

Right, I've got a million and one water bottles, so I'm gonna give these away.Okay, I've gone through all these boxes.Most of them are empty and some of them have stuff that I just don't want anymore, but yeah, most of it's just like packaging and empty boxes.This is currently what I've kind of gone through that I know I wanna keep.My knife block.I actually don't know where my knives are, low key.

And then over here, I've got all my plates back, all my beige ones.I've also got these I need to go through, those I'll keep from in the roundhouse.which I love.And that's pretty much it.I thought I'd put my thermo mix here so it's out and I can use it.And then like my air fryer and stuff will go in the butler's pantry, like toaster and stuff.

But I feel like that's nice.This is the stuff that I brought over from mine yesterday.So I haven't unpacked it because there's crap in it.But basically, yeah, I don't know how I'm gonna like style this area.I've got my air fryer.egg cooker, kettle.

I need to find my toaster.Don't know where it is.But yeah, that's my little pantry slash butler's pantry.Hey, I just finished at the gym.I'm going to try and do three sessions this week because we leave on Thursday.But guess what arrived at the warehouse?

I didn't actually go to the warehouse today because I was busy.unpacking the house, but my backup dress just arrived.Although I didn't think the color was going to be this vibrant, obviously I'm wearing yellow.Like, what other color would I be wearing?So all of my dress options are yellow.This is the color.

It's like a must, well not a mustard, because actually my first dress option is more of like a mustardy golden yellow.Anyway, this is like bright, Not highlighter yellow.Actually, one of my dresses is low -key like a highlighter yellow.Well, it's more like a pastel, but it's very, very bright yellow.Anyway, this is an option from Christopher Esper, which I'm going to try on when I get home.So hopefully, it looks okay.

It is actually really stunning.I do like the color, but it kind of reminds me of Big Bird.I thought it was going to be more of a softer yellow.Anyway, so at least I've got one dress option.So I'm not wearing nothing on the day at least.But yeah, my other two are en route to arrive tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

I'm actually about to go to the apartment now and grab a couple of boxes to bring to the house.And then I think the fam and I are having dinner at my house tonight.So that'll be nice.Good morning, happy Tuesday.I'm just making my matcha and I did the little strawberry, like fresh strawberry puree.I use two strawberries to do it.

Although I think these strawberries are like low -key sour.Oh no, they are kind of.Anyway, we'll see how it works.I think I've got my strawberry syrup.Anyway, just in case, I'm just mixing up my match.I've got two appointments today.

I've got my nails.These two of them have come off.They just lifted and then I just pulled them off.And then Riley and I are getting our toes done.So it's a nail day today.I do actually have a dress that i hide as well on the way today just in case so i actually have four options i've got two dresses being made and then yeah the higher dress and then the other one that i ordered so we'll see let's pour the puree in do one more

It definitely is very sour, but we'll see.Want to put ice in it?Try that.It's just really not sweet at all.I just don't think it's going to be very sweet.Not tasting strawberry at all.

I am back at the apartment.I'm just vlogging on my phone.Sorry.It's like really bad lighting, but I swear I showed you this hack last time I moved, but this is literally the easiest hack to get all of your clothes from your wardrobe into your new wardrobe.So you need bin bags with these little attachments, like the little, what are they called, like handles at the top.And you grab a bunch of clothes, basically put them in from the bottom.

This is probably the hardest bit, so annoying.Then, great.Okay, once you've done that, you get the little handle, chuck it over, and then the other one, chuck it over.And then, what I'm gonna do is,I'm literally just going to put it on this rack and I'm going to wheel this rack down to my boot and just place it on my boot.Literally so easy.

Put it all on the rack, straight into the boot of my car.I've had a little costume change because I sweated so much in my old apartment doing my clothes, but I just realized I haven't shown you guys my nails.I just got something very neutral, natural, it's like a milky, milky vibe, milky nude.Anyway, I'm just waiting for Riley because we're getting, sorry the lighting in here is horrible, our pedicures.So, she's like five minutes away and then I need to start packing.I'm doing a couple of the bridesmaids makeup, so I think I'm going to film like old school vibes.

Don't know if I'll do it for YouTube.I could still do it for YouTube, but I'm going to do like a TikTok vlog, how I used to when I was a makeup artist.I think that would be really iconic and really cool to look back on.But yeah, that's the vibe.I'm still slowly unpacking the place.Mum's there now helping me out.

But yeah, I probably will just have to wait until I get back from the wedding to like do it all properly.But yeah.That's a little update.I think I'll go after this to Chemist Warehouse, need to get some strip lashes for myself and the girls.I think I might get, I think I want to wear like half lashes or I could do individuals.I'm not too sure yet, but I'll just buy a bunch.

I also need to get like emergency stuff like nail glue in case one of the girls nails falls off or something.Um, stuff like that.What have we got?

You name it.Lashes.Lashes to last a lifetime.

Well no, for the two nights, we've decided to go for these ones with me.

I've got these, edit them in the mix.Nice.

Yeah, I've got scissors too.Right.Hello, I'm at home.I did go to the gym this afternoon.Who's proud?I really, really couldn't be fucked after today, but I wanted to get it done.

I got my another option for the wedding that I hired I just tried it on.I love the idea of it.I'll show you tomorrow when I try them on.I'll try them both on for you.But it just doesn't give me any shape, like, especially from the side because of all the layers.So, yeah, I just don't really feel good in it, basically.

It just kind of, I don't know, it just doesn't really do anything for me, basically.It's a really nice color.I love, like, the design but i probably could have actually gone down a size like it was quite loose up here i got a 12 but i feel like i probably could have fit a 10 to be honest like it's very giving but i'll show you what i mean tomorrow in better lighting because the lighting's dire and i'll show you my other dress as well which i like better and is definitely a strong contender if these other dresses don't look good so excited to use my thermomix again i did have to look up how to steam broccolini in it because I forgot.I don't know where the top of this is.It's probably in one of my boxes, but you are meant to use this on top of that, but I'm just going to use this.Let's get it.

Add 500 grams of water into the bowl.Okay, let's get the scales up.That's all I could find.Oh, fuck.Oh, 535, sure.My broccolini.

Might do half tonight and then half tomorrow, so I'm just gonna put it in.I usually don't like the leaves, even though they are probably good for you, but I don't like the taste of them.Let's chuck that aside.Little thing.Okay, what does it say?Varoma Speed 2.

Show you what the...I actually need to update it to five.Yeah, like I said, I need to update my Thermomix because the last time I used it was in Perth, so it's been years.Okay, I got some snacks.Cucumber, pupae, soy sauce, avo, butter, rice already.Cucumber, this just went off.

I've got to set the heat and Varoma means I think the highest heat or something.So just then it was mixing for no reason with no heat.Yeah, I'm excited to start making rice in my Thermomix again.Avo, that's my salmon.And I hate it when avocados are like hard, like that just like slid off.

Salmon, yum.

I just need to get some seaweed and then I'll have my broccolini when it's done.Hey, this is the current vibe of This room, let me just show you.Suitcases, my makeshift makeup table.That is a old entertainment unit.Got my LED mask on.Let's pull this wedding.

Priceline haul.I got a deodorant that Riley uses to keep at mine because every single time I'm with her, she always forgets her deodorant.I needed more scissors because the airport security always takes them from me and I always forget that I have them in my carry -on.I got some lashes.myself and the bridesmaids.Riley actually has some as well.

But I got these individual ones.Is this like really, really bad lighting?I can't tell because I've got this mask on.Is this fine?Okay, these.And then I saw these.

They look like half lashes, but they look really nice and wispy.So I grabbed two pairs of those for both the days.And then I just got some fresh duo lash glue because mine's really old.So they're just some wedding necessities.And now I'm going to use these cubes to put my stuff in.I feel like I probably should have done a checklist or something so I know exactly what I'm wearing.

I actually might put that yellow dress in its separate bag because, like I said, it really, it smells so strong of Thank God that's done.It smells so strong of detergent.It is going to stink out my whole suitcase.So I'm going to put this in a separate one, this Zara one.Oh my God, you're flashing.I think it's because I don't think the battery lasts as long because I switched the settings to shoot in 4K, like the max quality on this thing.

My battery does not last as long.Okay, let me just charge you up for a bit and then we'll see.i'll show you the progress hello guys sorry i kept you hanging last night but i low -key was spiraling because i still don't have my dresses and one of them the tracking is not updating the other one however is definitely arriving tomorrow so i'll definitely have a strong option but like my maindress, what I wanted to wear is just not updating.So fingers crossed DHL pulls through because your girl is stressed now.Like I just thought I would have it by now, but really waiting for the very last minute, but hopefully it arrives with the other one today.

Surely, surely they're arriving together.Sorry.I need to actually stabilize this.I want to get a new one.This one's really old.So if anyone knows of any makeup vanity companies, it's while don't make them anymore because I went on to their website yesterday and They only do like little makeup cases or like accessories.

They don't do like the big mirrors anymore I don't know if I want a light up mirror or maybe do I maybe I just want a small one But yeah, I definitely think I want a new table But yeah, anyway, I'm going to quickly do my makeup.I need to film an ad really quickly before I go to work and then head to work.We need a bulk film because I'm obviously away tomorrow until early next week.So bulk filming.I'm also going to get my Botox done.I know it probably won't work for the wedding, but I'm due.

So I'm just going to go get that done today.And then I just need to run around and get all sorts of little things.I want to bring a matcha kit so we can make matches every morning for everyone.So I need to get like a little take away like bottle for my syrup because I'm obviously not going to bring my big bottle and just little things like that.I'm pretty much organized in terms of like little knickknacks obviously because I'm doing some of the bridesmaids I just yeah I showed you yesterday like lashes and stuff.I need to clean my brushes today I have no idea where my brush cleaner is.

So maybe I'm just buying, actually, I saw someone on TikTok use Dettol soap to clean their brushes.So maybe I'm buying that today and cleaning my brushes.I've just got lots of, lots on, so little time.Okay, just finished my makeup.This is the vibe.I actually have so much to do today.

Okay, I didn't realize how much I actually had to do.I need to write Riley's letter for her to open on the wedding day, which I have started in my notes, but I need to actually physically write it down on a piece of paper.This is the current state of my house.Gay.Guys, we're at 94's pop -up in Pacfair, and we just got, are they pop -up specials?Some of them, yeah.

Peanut butter and jelly.And I just got the plain one with bueno.Is it not hitting?Do you need my touch?I think so.Great.

But it kind of looks cool with your bag back there.Okay.I've done it, I think.Really?Is it good?Should I do it from the top?

Yes.

Yum.I want to get the bottom though.Oh my god, dude.Yum.I reckon that'd be good all mixed together.

Guys, look what just arrived.

I honestly didn't think it was going to arrive today because the tracking wasn't updating.And I was thinking that Emma might have to bring it for me because she's not leaving until tomorrow.So I can't believe I have it.I'm so fucking nervous to try it on.

So nervous, guys.

Also may even get a matching bag made out of the excess fabric.Okay, that must be the excess.Okay, the color is kind of mustardy, right?Fringe is cool.Okay, I'm a little bit worried about the color because my other dress fabric's color is like a bright yellow, which I love.Oh my God, this is gonna be so hard to decide.

Oh my God, okay.Like this is definitely cooler, 100%.That's the bottom of the dress.Wait, I'm confused how this, oh, okay, so that's just the top.I think that's inside out.Yeah, it looks it.

It's like, this goes at the front.Oh, I think I've completely fucked it.Okay, let me know.go try it on.Oh no, this is the front.Let me try it on.

Okay.I feel like in terms of like style, I think this is still me, but it just, the tassels give it that like aspect of cool.Now it is from the brand.I'm actually not even gonna try and pronounce it because I don't want to butcher it, but I'll leave it on the screen.They do have this dress in a gorgeous wine color, but I knew I had to wear it.yellow because I just feel most confident in yellow and I just feel like it suits my skin tone.

I was a little bit worried when I opened it up, but I feel like it does definitely look a bit brighter on, whereas like the fabric does look very mustardy, but it's really, really cool.I love a strapless moment.Okay, let me try on the other one.The other one is definitely more like, wow, like it hits the floor.It's very like, I'll show you.Okay, and here is the other dress that DZO literally made with two weeks notice because I was so scared that the first dress wouldn't arrive in time.

She is stunning, absolutely stunning.If I do wear this one, I would have to strap the shit out of my boobs.Hey, this is my Christopher Esper on.Still a really strong contender, but I just feel the other two, I just like more.Like this is nice, it's a little bit more chilled.like but i think i will be returning it but at least i know what it looks like on and they also have so many different colors and i feel good in it like i feel like i didn't think that i would like it because this is quite fitted but the ruching kind of just like

like I feel comfortable in it basically.For someone that doesn't wear like fitted dresses, it's not like super, super tight.But yeah, the other dress I'll show you, I'll show you what I mean about the fit.Like it just, let me see.Last but not least, this is the Eliat dress.Now see the vision, like I'm not saying I hate it, because it actually is a really comfy dress.

Like I said, I probably would prefer it, like that's the large on me. I would say I'm typically like a size 12, like a comfortable fit.And it's like swimming, basically.Like I feel like I could definitely go down a size.It's not stretchy, but it has like a little bit of give, the fabric.It is a nice dress.And I know they've got it in heaps of different colors, but I just think the tassel dress is probably the coolest.

and probably my favorite so far, but I'm just gonna wait until I'm gonna bring both of them, wait until my tan's freshly done, my hair and makeup's done, and then I'll try them both on on the day and decide.I think I am leaning more towards the tassel dress option, but this is my fourth dress.So yeah.Oh my God, I am just so relieved that I've got a dress.Like, I'm so relieved, and we literally leave tomorrow.Like, how?

how we pulled that off.I just got off the phone with Riley.I was on the phone with her for like an hour, over an hour while we were both packing.I am halfway there.I probably actually, no, I'm three quarters of the way there.I am just putting together what I'm going to pack for marches that I'm going to make everyone every morning.

So this is what I've got so far.I have got matcha powder, whisk.Actually, I'm not going to take that one.I've got this one.Whisk, little sift, these cups.I bought 15 of them because we can reuse them.

This is a banana bread syrup because I'm obviously going to make banana bread.Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to put these in.Good morning.Charlie has just come to drop off.a pair of earrings that I forgot for the bridesmaids for the wedding day.I accidentally brought six and we need seven because Riley's actually wearing them.

Six, seven.Riley's actually wearing it to the welcome.So we need seven pairs.Charlie hasn't seen my house.Sorry, it's like a tip.I just like haven't had a chance to like do anything.

A little bit of makeup.It's so cool, hey.I feel like it's not that big though.Like I think it's a good size.

It is a good to be by myself But yeah, it is like the first time I was that low -key scared My furniture like all my furniture to come Yeah, I'll send you some snaps.

Okay.Bye.It's justI'm like sweating in here.Right, lips, lips, lips, lips.Recently rediscovered the Basecamp Beauty lip liner now that I'm liking deeper shades.

It's really nice.Although, it's not as creamy as my Makeup Max one.And of course, I've got a pimple.Okay, that's my makeup.I need to put my earrings in.I might just put a little bit of Benetint in the middle.

Wow, we're seeing the venue for the first time.It looks like, like, green screen vibes.It doesn't even look real.Oh, a little cubby house.I'm also in Qantas pyjamas and slippers.I just had a shower.

Oh, yeah, the bar.Checking out the venue.

So cool, guys.

It's happening.Oh, golden hour.Oh, my God, the lighting's so nice.Oh, my God.Hey, we just got to the accommodation in Bury and we just had a little tour with Riley and Vita's wedding planners and oh my god, it's incredible.

I actually can't even remember the last thing that I vlogged but we ended up all getting tans.I actually just ended up doing my own loving tan because it's my favorite tan.It's all washed off now and then tomorrow the plan is we are just chilling for the morning and then we have the welcome dinner at night.I actually don't even know what we're doing in the morning.I think we're just chilling, having breakfast and then I think we need to get ready at around 10 .30ish for the welcome.But yeah, Mandy's just in the shower now, washing off her tan.

I haven't really gotten a chance to vlog for obvious reasons.We've all just been hanging out, catching up.It's currently 10 30.I'm so tired.So I will see you guys tomorrow.I cannot wait to wear my dress.

I can't wait for the welcome.It's going to be so much fun.I still need to write out Riley's letter, which I'm going to do tomorrow.I just didn't want to do it because Riley was around.I was going to do it just before, but I had wet tan on and it's too late to do it now.So.

I'm gonna do it tomorrow and I'll see you then.

Okay, you want to learn?I'm making matcha for everyone.Okay, I need scissors.I stir it.

Your jazz hand has been popping up on my tic -tac.

Really?Tic -tac.Is this really thick, this almond milk?Oh my god.I usually put likeoh my god as much in ice then pour this on top hopefully the milk's okay so i don't think i've ever used that milk but riley said she uses it and she likes it have you used this so good is it good yeah oh i like mine like strong okay oh you smell it oh soz that's mad is it good it's really good whoa yay Matcha therapy?
