A lovely vlog Laurie, love these snippets of your life, and seeing Beau enjoying her dog walk is super. Your finished pot looked lovely too. Always enjoyable sharing part of your life with you. The navy bag is really nice. Hope you have a super weekend. xx
Hi Jacqueline. Thanks so much. I always worry that they will be boring these snippets of life. I like to share that its not all glamour here. I'm just an ordinary woman living life the best can. Thank you for your kind words xx

Hi Heather. There's not a day that goes by that Beau doesn't make me laugh! The bag is gorgeous, I'm leaving a link here for you. The brand is Apatchy London. The ants were awful! I'm also enjoying the rollers. There's an update coming about those. xx prf.hn/l/xnAMWXn
Loved the video. Very mixed topics which I enjoyed. The tan spray looks good. I have a pale complexion so that might give me a bit colour. I loved the bag. My favourite shape too. It’s surprising what you can hold in them. The waistcoat is a good idea for layering. Thanks for the video. Have a good week ladies.
Hi Hilary. Thanks so much. The facial tan is amazing. And very natural. I'm so pleased that you have addressed the ladies Hilary. It would make my day for all of you to chat together xx
Hi Pamela. Thank you. I thought the cushions are really good for the price. I think I will buy more for the living room. The plants are getting a good watering with all the rain we're having! xx
Hi Kathleen. This makes me smile! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I like to share this type of film every now and then. Show that I have all the wrinkles and its not all about the glamour. I'm just a normal down to earth girl making friends here xx
Awww lovely video Laurie I thoroughly enjoyed all of it! It’s like listening to a lovely friend! Those ant’s are a nuisance you did very well! 🙌🙌 Thank you for the things you recommend! 😘🥰🤗 I look forward to the next one! This summer has gone too fast! You always look wonderful Laurie your personality always shines through! 🤗😘🥰 Sending love to you Dee and Beau from Wales
Hi Sue. Thanks so much. Those ants were horrendous! And they don't drown either! eventually, they all just dispersed thank goodness. The olive tree looks a lot happier too. Hugs from a very wet and windy Essex xx
Hi Laurie Another informative video Having spent the last 18 months watching lots of fashion blogs/vlogs you can understand why ‘the high street’ has died and there is NO way back. Online brands, those you know or are introduced to gives you so much choice and ease of receiving your orders without paying lots of parking costs etc Apatchy - what great style bags 🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️👍 👍 😍
Hi Joanne. I think you're 100% right about the shopping online. Covid put the final dagger in I think. Anyone who wasn't shopping online at that point had to learn how to and discovered they enjoy it. I'm predicting Primark having a big fall due to this soon. All these cheap brands from China are winning. Even my daughter has been won over. Love the Apatchy bag! xx
@@VanityAndMe Do you know of a brand name SHEIN? It’s a Singapore based fashion brand but I was not aware that they opened a ‘pop up’ outlet in the Bull Ring Birmingham at the end of March My health is not too good at this time but I hope when I’m better to visit the store 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴😀😀
@@joanne26 Hi Joanne. Yes I do. I think they have some great pieces at such low prices. I've spoken about the daughter shopping online in this thread and Shein is her favourite. She gave me a pair of sunglasses that I liked and they cost £3! I did reach out on here about doing a haul for Shein but got a resounding no! But do go take a look when you can. My daughter has had some great items. I hope you feel better soon xx
I love spending time catching up with things that are going on in your life, Laurie. I really love your dressing gown and your new handbag, The pot you planted looked beautiful. I had to smile at Beau on her walk. We have a field in our village that dogs can go on and our border collie loves it, It's his favourite place - he runs around with a huge grin on his face. Thank you for all the tips you share with us. Hope you and Dee have a great week. Love, Chris x
Hi Chris. Thanks so much. What a change in the weather now! Yes, Beau loves her field walk. Soppy as old boots but as I said she's powerful. I've always walked her this way, trying to be responsible. Beau walks well on a lead too but I wouldn't trust that if she saw a cat for example! Plus I like her to have that freedom. Have a good week Chris and thanks again for your kind words xx
Hi Cazz. I can't believe Beau is six already! It feels like yesterday that I travelled all the way to Newcastle to pick her up. She fitted in one hand, and we bonded on that journey home while Dee did all the driving bless her. I will have to throw a photo up of how tiny she was one day. Her head is in my lap as I write this. My goodness what a change in the weather! Nearly time for the wardrobe changeover I think. xx
Such an enjoyable vlog Laurie! I do love to share snippets of your life. The navy bag is smashing with the striped strap. I’d love a Zara haul! Please show us a pic of tiny Beau!
Hi Virginia. Thanks so much. I might pop in to Zara for a try on and film that first. I have no idea what their sizes are like, but I'd like to find out. I'm glad you like the snippet. I always worry it can be boring, so thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it. A pic of tiny Beau coming up! xx
I also used to do my own gel nails. Like yourself I had a horrible reaction one day. My fingers itched like crazy and were very painful. After about a year i tried again being very careful not to get the polish on my cuticles or surrounding skin. They were absolutely fine!! Its odd but I'm so pleased to be able to do gel nail polish again.. lovely interesting vlog. I enjoyed it immensely 😊
Hi Julie. Well that's good to hear. I might give it another try on just one nail to see. I'm glad you enjoyed the vlog. I often wonder if these types of films are boring. But I like to express its not all glamour all of the time. Just normal life xx
@@VanityAndMe that's a great idea to do one test nail. Maybe just put a base coat on and see how it goes. I used a cotton bud dipped in water to wipe away any polish for the skin/cuticles before I cured them.
We share the same handbag favourite, Laurie! I adore camera bags...the shape is perfect and it's so easy to put stuff in and find everything! I love a nannie wide strap too. I've been looking for a black so I might see if Apatchy London deliver here without all the customs charges lol!! Oh and I LOVE those cushion covers. I'm going to check them out and see if H&M Home have them here!! I really wish we had Dunelm over here too. Hugs xx P.S YES to the Zara haul!!!
Hi Suzy. I might go into a Zara store and film a try on first. The cushion covers from H&M are lovely. I will be buying more from there. Apatchy London is worth looking into. I'm really impressed with the brand xx
I’m definitely going to try the spray mist it sounds really good. I would also be really interested in a Zara haul. I have a waistcoat but haven’t yet found a good way to wear it so would love inspiration! Thank you for a lovely video 😊
Hi Jen. Thank you. Yes, I've been hooked on that spray tan for around three years now. I love it. I;m looking forward to sharing different looks with the waistcoat xx
Another lovely vlog, your plants looked lovely, you certainly have the back. I hope your olive tree survives, I have one I have been growing in a pot for years, it's my pride and joy.
Hi Elaine. Yes, the Olive seems a lot happier now it's not sharing the pot with all those ants. I'm glad I decided to re-pot now. I'm glad you enjoyed watching xx
I will be very interested in how your new heated rollers work. I have been thinking of buying some since you first mentioned yours were getting old. As always lots to learn and enjoy. Thanks Laurie xx
Yes, loving the new rollers! Such time savers. I was dubious about the velvet rather than rollers with teeth but they seem fine. I'm going to film putting them in and thoughts etc very soon xx
I enjoyed just hanging out with you in your post. You are truly genuine and kind. It calms, reassures and inspires me. I bet you'll like the rollers. I have that brand. The clips hold my extremely layered hair in place. I am very excited to be in the UK for almost a month over Christmas and struggling on what shoes to bring. And do I bring my rollers or make some salon appointments. Big worries...:) Love the bag! Flowers look so pretty.
Hi Sara. Where will you be staying in the UK? I would bring rollers with you. It will save valuable time. And then you could go and be pampered when you feel like it. I love the rollers. I'm really pleased with them. Bring shoes/boots that are comfortable of course but also bring a pair of heels for any nights out. Thank you so much for your kind words Sara xx
Hi Laurie 🙋♀️ I really enjoyed your video so many good hints and tips as always Luuved H&M and Zara 😊unfortunately we don’t have nearby Beau looked like she enjoyed her walk 🐾🐾 I can only have my finger nails short l have had a similar reaction to you so I don’t know much about the gel nails,would you please recommend a product or a stick on like yours that are easy to remove that might suit me? I don’t like ants🦟😃 !! Even more so the flying ants 🫣!! The planters look really pretty 🌸🌼🌺 I keep thinking I must do mine ready for spring !🌷 Take care Sue xx
No, I don’t like ants too. I must admit I haven’t seen the flying ants this year. Maybe we were on holiday when it happened. Yes, I think I would like to try false nails. Always keep my nails shortish, can’t do housework with long nails 😂😂
Hi Lynda. Yes, this has happened to me before. I'm just more careful now. I often spray when my hair is in a towel. I've heard good things about tanning drops too, but I like the colour the spray gives xx

Your garden planter looked fab by the way 👍🏻😘xx

I don't use nail gels in case I get a reaction now I am older. Can't have cataract surgery or joint replacements if you do !
Hi Jill. Yes I heard about that. Apparently dentist use similar chemicals too 😫♥️

Has the fAce spray tan been ok with your hair? I had to stop using the spray as it tinted my hair line. I'm using lux drops. Ow. ❤ you look amazing.
Hi Lynda. Yes, this has happened to me before. I'm just more careful now. I often spray when my hair is in a towel. I've heard good things about tanning drops too, but I like the colour the spray gives xx
