I’ve started doing my own gel nails ever since I got the Mylee full works kit last Christmas and omg I have saved soooo much money!!! I used to spend £25 every 2 weeks having them done but couldn’t justify it anymore after my son was born. I love doing them myself now though and the more I’ve done them, the better I’ve got. Painting with your non-dominant hand takes practice but it pays off as I’ve even managed to do some nail art too. I really recommend the Mylee brand! Xx
Your me day involved grocery shopping, making up a present for a friend, doing some laundry and doing your youtube work... I hope your next me day is a spa day or something that is really indulgent and JUST for you!
Such a good idea with the hamper for the new mum. I wish so much that someone had done that for me. It's exactly what you need, a little treat after having baby.
Definitely a dream self care me time kind of day. I have done this every now and again too, booked the odd holiday day and done pretty much the same and it is pure heaven 😁
This video has inspired me to book a day off to catch up on life! I’ve been feeling exactly the same like I’m constantly chasing my tail! Tonight I could’ve sat doing nothing because I was so tired but I was annoyed knowing I’ve got many things to do still, so I’ve sat and sorted out my bedroom tonight then put fresh covers on the bed and I’m already feeling much better knowing that’s one thing ticked off!🙌🏽
I get this. My kids have just turned 3 & 1 and I'm a full time midwifery student, so self care is very hard to come by. The mental to do list is absolutely knackering
This is SO me. Also loved to see what you got from aldi, pretty much the same for me and my toddler! But thanks for the chocolate bites tip.. never seen them before and now I need them! 😂
I can relate to this so much! I love to book a day off work and browse B&M on my own with no kids, heaven! You are in such great shape, would love a video on meals you eat x
Ahh tell me about it, I never thought I’d appreciate a mooch around the shops so much ahha!! And I actually filmed on of these on Friday that will hopefully be my next video up on my channel (although I have to admit, the food I ate was pretty crappy that day hahahaha!)
🥹🥹 thank you lovely - the honest truth is probably that I don’t manage all that well most of the time and I’m surviving on fumes haha! Which is why a day like this was sooooo needed ♥️
Hi Shan, Your vlogs are delightful. I have absolutely no interest in children nor a single maternal bone in my body, but find theses vlogs so comforting and cosy!
Another fab vlog, loved it 🫶🏼 What a lovely thoughtful gift for you’re new mummy friend, she will love that 👍🏼🫶🏼 Great to see you taking time for yourself Shan and you look amazing. I can totally relate to chasing you’re tail 24/7 as I am a single mom but taking some time out is so important so I’m glad you did that. Have a fab week, keep smashing it n sending lots of love to you n George as always 🫶🏼💗🫶🏼💙🥰🥰
Book a day off when your child is at nursery so you can do WHATEVER you want/need to do! Perfect advice ma darling! Thank you superstar for always coming up with amazing content and for being simply you. Keep shining and congratulations on 30K +! Super well deserved ❤
I really like your cooking videos and also clothing hauls for George I am a mum of 4 children my eldest is almost 13 and then I have an almost 8 year old then a 4 year old and then a 15 month old so life for me in constant on the go thankfully I am a stay at home mum I couldn’t imagine trying to fit work around the kids but I sometimes miss having just 1 little one to look after having 4 is really hard and always feel guilty for not giving them the time they all need also love some decoration type hauls too ❤

Ah gosh you’re the real MVP 👏🏼♥️ I think it’s hard to prioritise ourselves as mums, but we are all only human and need to look after ourselves so that we can look after our babies ♥️
@@HomeWithShan so true! I'm a primary teacher 3 days a week too lol 😂. Must like being busy! Us moms, definitely need to look after ourselves. Love your channel - thanks xxx
I’m so pleased to have seen this video as I have struggled before to take a day off when the kids are in childcare (I remember being so embarrassed to tell the childminder once I nearly didn’t!) but I definitely think it needs to be done from time to time, absolutely priceless not being on a schedule or juggling children so you have inspired me to do the same again before too long! Xx
Ahhh I’m so glad you enjoyed it lovely! It’s such a weird one isn’t it - although when my line manager at work asked what I was doing on my day off, I told her and she (also a mum) was like “omg I’m so jealous, what a genuinely idea” haha! I just thought, you know what, I need some time to sort my life out hahha! 😂👏🏼
Hmmm I miss UK's Aldi so much... we moved to Australia this year and really struggling to find new favourite products in local shops here... and there are no oaties here in Aldi 😭😭😭 love your vlogs! Very realistic and honest mama that's all we need 😊
Supermarket bits costed about £30 this week and hello fresh is £30-£40 too ♥️ it changes every week based on what top up bits we need to buy but we spend between £60-£100 on food weekly at the moment (the cost of everything is maddddd rn!)
It’s so hard to get time alone as a mum and I would love to just be able to clean the house without anyone else destroying it five seconds later 😂 or go shopping without rushing everywhere 😍
I missed the chance to enter the giveaway :(( but been here since the beginning - I have post notifications on for you and everything but I haven’t been getting notifications lately :( x
Am i the only mom who cant relate to the whole “i never get time to eat a nice meal and watch a video” thing? I mean i have an 18 month old, i cook, clean, eat while he’s awake and entertaining himself or eating as well, and during his naps I work (self employed) my house is pretty much always clean and I also have plenty of time to take care of myself i.e skincare, home laser, home nails when he’s down for the night etc … i just dont get it when people say i can never eat or do self care etc i mean yh during the week understandable due to the rush for work/ nursery etc but what about the weekends? shan is off 3 days a week why can’t she have a decent breakfast / self care days then? No hate just genuinely curious
I think you answered the question for yourself you get most things done when he is napping or down for the night 😂😂 squeezing things in between does feel rushed and I think that’s what Siân is saying in her blog - it’s more about the quality of time you have whilst napping / sleeping I mean in between a big work call and you toddler / baby wakes up from a nap you are going to have to get off the zoom call pretty sharpish . Having time is what I ca relate to in this video - the only time I can personally relax is when my toddler is asleep
I think it depends if you have an easy child or not!! A full child free day to do self care/jobs is rare for most mums so I know I appreciate those days instead of fitting it in during naps/after bedtime
If you have a spouse that works long hours or away from home like Shan's does, you'll end up doing most of the household chores (that's usually split between couples) all on your own, on top of working full time. You may have a spouse that is home more often and more hands on to give you that extra free time to treat yourself. Working from home & having regular pampering sessions is a luxury most working mums can dream of! This is not meant to be a bitter response, just wanted to say that most mums don't have it as easy as you do.

Oooh thank you so much! I deffo need the practice haha! ♥️
Your me day involved grocery shopping, making up a present for a friend, doing some laundry and doing your youtube work... I hope your next me day is a spa day or something that is really indulgent and JUST for you!
Aww you’re so sweet! Honestly this felt like luxury to me haha! I feel like a spa day would be so nice around Xmas! Xxxx
Such a good idea with the hamper for the new mum. I wish so much that someone had done that for me. It's exactly what you need, a little treat after having baby.
That loungewear was the best thing I got after having George! Couldn’t not get it for my friend ♥️
Definitely a dream self care me time kind of day. I have done this every now and again too, booked the odd holiday day and done pretty much the same and it is pure heaven 😁
Ahh amazing! I’m glad I’m not the only one haha! ♥️🥹
I have a 9 month old and I really miss having a mooch around the shops by myself! Genuinely never thought I'd miss wandering aimlessly round B&M 🤣
This video has inspired me to book a day off to catch up on life!
I’ve been feeling exactly the same like I’m constantly chasing my tail!

Your self care days are similar to mine! Book the day off- normally pay day- and do abit of shopping in peace 😊 really makes the difference
Lovely mum day there :) x
I honestly don't know how you juggle everything! I always watch your channel too feel inspired to have energy 😂 your honestly solo parent goals x
🥹🥹 thank you lovely - the honest truth is probably that I don’t manage all that well most of the time and I’m surviving on fumes haha! Which is why a day like this was sooooo needed ♥️
@@HomeWithShan totally get that feeling! Well you definitely deserve it🥰
Hi Shan,
Your vlogs are delightful. I have absolutely no interest in children nor a single maternal bone in my body, but find theses vlogs so comforting and cosy!

Aw thank you so much lovely! You’re a little gem 🥹♥️
I constantly feel like I am chasing my tail as a mum of a 12m old, your defo not the only one 😅❤

Loved this! You're so lovely! Made me realise i need to make more me time. I have 4 kids and definitely need it xxx

Lovely vlog. You reminded me of a young Julia Stiles when you were doing your hair!

You are so sweet!! 🐥♥️
How much a week does your hello fresh and supermarket bits cost you roughly. I'm deciding if it would be cheaper for my family of 3 to do this xx
Supermarket bits costed about £30 this week and hello fresh is £30-£40 too ♥️ it changes every week based on what top up bits we need to buy but we spend between £60-£100 on food weekly at the moment (the cost of everything is maddddd rn!)
After spending half term with my two solo parenting I salute you! You def deserve a day off but maybe a spa day or shopping day! X
Totally stealing your poached egg making trick 😂👍
It’s so hard to get time alone as a mum and I would love to just be able to clean the house without anyone else destroying it five seconds later 😂 or go shopping without rushing everywhere 😍
Can I ask where you got your plates from? Really need some deep plates for gravy, sauce etc
Love how you do your makeup,mine looks like crusty the clown😂😂😜
can i ask where you got your big glass coffee mugs from, the ones you use with your coffee machine and plant milk ? your lunch looked amazing btw!
Hey lovely! They’re from ikea♥️
@@HomeWithShan tysm for replying, ive been looking everywhere for some but cant find any as nice as yours!!! Ive just ordered 2!!!😍
I missed the chance to enter the giveaway :(( but been here since the beginning - I have post notifications on for you and everything but I haven’t been getting notifications lately :( x
Lunch omg 😋
So true! I went to Aldi yesterday and it was absolute bliss on my own 😂😂 Loved this video. What blush did you use on top of the hoola?? Xx
Hey love! Tots the little things in life isn’t it haha!! And the blush is linked in the description box 💗
@@HomeWithShan thank you so much 💕 Yes definitely haha! I have a George and I’m a Civil Servant and I can relate to your videos so much 😁
How much is that loungewear? I need it! Payday on Friday 😂🎉

Anyone know where the brown shacket was from shan had on? 😊
I think she said Cupshe in the last vlog?
You have probably already stated somewhere BUT what make is your heated brush?:) Hope you enjoyed your me time being a mum I FEEL ya. ♥️
I could be wrong but it does look like the Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser heated brush I have.
Hey lovely! I linked it int he video description for you ♥️
