the perfect autumn vlog 🍂 book shopping, walks, cosy tv shows

Sunrises are a bit later recently, so I'm watching them again.I remember I was on the go.And I'm meeting the girls.And we're gonna go for a beach walk.I'm very excited.

Well, I'm pretty excited.

I'm pleased to not look at the unmade bed.I washed the sheets today, hence why I didn't make it.If you haven't seen anything on Instagram or TikTok, I did something with my hair.I changed it.Just like I've been not shutting up about for weeks.I've been like, I wanna change, I wanna change.

I feel like it looks quite dark right now because it's still wet.I just washed it for the first time since The haircut, which I always feel like is a little, like it'll never look as good as your hairstyles, does it?It's just drying and then I might style it.I don't know, it's kind of drying quite nicely.We went quite a bit shorter.I feel like it was like this much, so decently, decently shorter and then quite a bit darker because I was saying that I loved what we did at the beginning of the year, but I feel like it faded quite quickly to my natural color and I like it to be a little bit kind of deeper or richer.

So we obviously went quite a bit darker, but the hope is it'll kind of just stick to my hair a little bit longer and it feels so incredibly healthy.I just feel like we cut off all of the dead, gross bits.Anyway, so, very happy with that.I obviously just had a shower.I'm in my new robe.Isn't it the cutest thing in the entire world?

I will be living in this for the entirety of winter, I already know.It's a toweling kind of material, so I just pop it on straight after a shower.I love it so much.It's from K. Juliet, which my, it's in the wash, but my yellow one that I always wear is also from K. Juliet.Best robes.And there's just no feeling, no feeling, like the color.

weather kind of starting and putting on a cozy, like plush, but not too thick robe.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Anyway, I have been feeling so autumnal recently and I love it because I feel like a lot of the time where I live, it doesn't really feel the seasons.It kind of, it goes from summer to colder in winter, but it doesn't really feel like it goes through a lot of the seasons.I've been feeling kind of autumnal.I've recently, well, For the last two months, I've restarted Gilmore Girls, which I do every single year when it gets to this kind of weather.Every single year, it's my autumn into winter show and it's just perfect.So that's making me feel autumnal.

There's also a tree near my house that is so beautiful.Beautiful and again, I feel like where I live trees don't go red or yellow and fall everywhere But there's this beautiful massive tree right by my house I'll try and film it because I often walk past it, but it is like it just makes me feel so autumnal and the hot coffees I'm having so many hot coffees I'm really just embracing it because I feel like that is what makes the year feel like it's broken up and kind of slowed down however in saying that Cannot believe that it is June in like a week.What?I was talking to Sam about it the other day and we were like, is this just what you say for the rest of your life?But even he was like, I think this year has been one of the quickest years of my entire life.And I was like, no, I agree.

I just, in my head it could be April.I'm just like, what do you mean?We're already in June.My birthday is in three weeks, right?I'm 27 years old in three, four weeks, three, three -ish weeks.I don't have a single plan, which I'm not sure if I love or hate.

27 is crazy.I feel like 25, 26, I just feel like, oh yeah, mid -twenties, that feels normal.27 27 is late 20.That's the beginning of my late 20s, which is just crazy because that's just creepy up to 30 And I just don't feel 30, and I'm obviously not 30, but do you know what I mean?I do that I am feeling very excited because Sam and I finallybooked a trip that we weren't sure if we were going to.

Well, we were set on doing it.It was like one of our biggest bucket list trips that we've always talked about doing, like quite literally from, I feel like our first day we talked about going on this kind of trip and just for years have talked about doing this kind of trip.And last year we were like, next year we're definitely going to do it.And then we got to this year and we were like, maybe not, maybe we don't do it.We were just having so many conversations around Travel and also now that we're getting to this not that age really it means anything but getting to the stage of life We're kind of just talking about what we really want out of life and not kind of like normal Expectations of where we should be at this point or things that we should we should be doing I mean based off what do you know what I'm saying?and we kind of just came to the conclusion that we're so young in the grand scheme of things and Personally, this is how I feel personally.

I'm just so of the belief that you have your entire life to settle down and to maybe buy a home and all that kind of thing.Like you have your entire life where naturally your body wants to slow down.And of course there's like smart things to do and all that kind of thing, but this is just, I'm just talking about, I don't know, I suppose what we just want out of life.Anyway, because I was like, Oh, like, should we be doing this?Should we be doing this?Should we doing this?

And the more we talked about it, the more we were like, for us, I just want to spend as much time traveling and seeing the world as physically possible.Like I just have such, like such an immense pull to do that and to live, and to live like that, especially right now.We're so lucky to be in that position.So I've just absolutely gone on a tangent whilst telling you all this, but we had this bucket list trip that we've always talked about and we were like, okay, we'll do it.And then we were like, maybe we won't.And then we were like, what do we, who are we kidding ourselves?

We want to do it so badly.So now I've just been, you know when you book a holiday and then you just become, I don't know like a full -time travel agent like my whole for you page my whole like anything that I want to consume anything on that I want to watch it's just about where I'm traveling and where to stay and what to do and all of that and it's just it it brings meso much fulfillment.Like I often just do it for fun even if we're not going on this holiday but we're actually now going and like flights are booked and it's not even that far away and I'm just like oh my gosh.I'm just so unbelievably excited.I can't believe we're doing it.

What I thought we could do in this vlog because I've kind of got the weekend to myself, spend the weekend together.I really want to go book shopping.I've not been, I haven't just gone to bookstores and gone for a good bookshop in so long and so many books I have my eye on.I also just feel like this weather is just the perfect book shopping kind of weather so I would love to do that.Watch Gilmore Girls.I actually still haven't started which I want to start but I'm debating whether to read the book first or if I should just watch the series but I've been hearing obviously nothing but the off -campus series.

I'm like do I Do I need to read the book first or do I just start watching it?I also am on the lookout for these specific pair of jeans.I want to find it not important, but we can also do that.Watching Gilmore Girls, reading, just have a cozy weekend and going for walks, warm coffees, just a very, very cozy autumnal themed weekend.I do need a bra.They are drying because I love these so incredibly much.

Will never wear anything but Skims bralettes.I just feel like you wouldn't feel like a bralette like this, shaped like this, would do much or hold really much or support you at all.But it just, is perfect.It's the most comfortable thing in the world.

What am I going to wear today is my question.Thinking just a simple jeans and long sleeve.

Like, you know, kind of no more words needed, right?I also love the straps.I mean, they're so Comfortable in general but the straps sit a bit further out so they're not kind of like going here so this before but I think you can just tell well it feels like at least how specifically they've all been designed to actually fit you correctly and not kind of be so uncomfortable and Dig in in areas and make you pull in areas You don't want to pull in and these with other two on the clothesline.They also have so many colors They have so many different cup sizes.They're not known for fitting everyone for no reasonAnother one I've heard is because it's just essentially my skin color, so it goes under everything.

I'm not sure if you can even see the material.Perfect.If you do want to shop any of my favorite bras and undies from Skims, I will link it all in the description box.You can also let them know that I sent you by selecting YouTube and then my name will drop down below and then you can click it.Like, look at this.I've got every single color you could ever possibly want.

Yep.I kind of want to wear my knit as well, but is that...Is that gonna look weird with what I've got on?This feels a bit Rory Gilmore -esque.This is my outfit.

It feels very autumnal and very cozy.Semi -successful.I didn't manage, well, I didn't manage to find the jeans that I was initially after, but I tried on something similar and I'm just not sure if it's for me.It was a skinny and flare jean, which I have not worn in a long time.I didn't mind the low -waistedness of it, but they were sold out of the ones that I went in for.So, anyway, not important.

I did buy some books.I was actually, well, I actually feel like I held some major restraint.I only bought two books.I didn't have The Bright Years and what was the other one I was after?Broken Country.I couldn't afford so many more, but I just picked up two that I have had my eye on for so long.

Correspondent, I've heard so many incredible things about this.I think the premise of it, it's about an older woman and I think the whole book is just letters written back and forth between herself and the people in her life, which I just think is so fun.I'm very excited to tell that.And then, another book that I've heard great things.Rach read this on herbirthday trip that we went on and she loved it.

So very excited to start both of them.Both fiction, general fiction, I think.I quite literally have no idea what this is about, but I've just heard, I've heard good things.Love the little brown paper bags that they give it to you in.I'm going to head home now and make some lunch because I'm hungry.I've got my matching phone case in.

It's humble.That was a lot of fun, I loved it.I just love books so much and I just love being in a bookstore.You walk in, firstly it smells like books and coffee because it's a coffee shop attached to this bookstore.Everyone in there is reading the backs of books and picking up books and then carrying some around with them and like it just, I don't know, I was just looking around being like we're all choosing to spend our time at a bookstore right now looking at books and I just, I don't know.

I just loved it.

Anyway, that was fun.I've just made myself a tea.It's a spearmint tea, my current favorite.What I want to do is have a big, oh there's already a pen in it, a big journal session.I bought this journal on my birthday last year actually and my first ever journal was on my birthday and just like all my birthday thoughts, it's just pages upon pages.I haven't journaled in a long time and I have a habit of only journaling when I feel like something is really wrong or I have something bad bad per se to journal or like to get out and not really also when I'm feeling good and I feel like right now I'm feeling I don't know how I'm feeling actually.

Now that I think about it, oh my camera's dying.Kind of neutral.I also just feel like I've been in such a reflective mood of recent.I've been doing so many different, like I've done the values quiz, which I talked about last week was the last thing I think.And then when I was getting my hair done the other day, my hairdresser was like, are you into astrology?Like, is that something you're into?

And I was like, I'm definitely not opposed to it, but I also don't know much about it.And she was like, okay, I've always been the same.However, I recently did this astrology kind of thing.date of birth, what time you were born.and where you were born, I think, into this thing called Astro Cafe Astrology.And it gives you your birth chart.

And then you take a screenshot of your birth chart and then put the screenshot in chat and say, tell me everything I need to know about this person based off this birth chart.And she was like, you have to do this.It is the most accurate thing she's ever read of herself.And then she's been doing it on all of her friends and family.And she was even saying, I was never Believer in astrology and all that kind of thing.Anyway, so I did.

The camera died.

What was I saying?What was I saying?

Oh, the astrology thing.Yeah, so I did it because she was like, you have to do it right now.It's one of those things I'm like, this can't be real, but it feels very accurate.I do feel like I identify with quite a few.Sorry, how am I still here?I do feel like I very much resonate with a lot of Gemini traits but because you have your entire birth chart it goes through everything core personality sun in gemini emotional nature moon in leo aquarius rising like it goes through everything i just found it so incredibly accurate and I just love, and even this is in it, but I'm just, I love learning about behaviors and not only myself, but other people's behaviors and all of that.

The first thing it says is this chart has a very strong air and fire signature, which means intellectually quick, socially magnetic, emotionally dramatic, and deeply driven by self -expression and recognition.The biggest themes are charisma, independence, creativity, attention, relationships, and identity.And then it breaks down every single one.So core personality, son in Gemini, this is someone who's witty, mentally fast, curious about everything, adaptable, socially intelligent, and hard to pin down.It says that they need stimulation constantly.Silence, routine, and emotional heaviness can make them restless.

This placement often creates great conversationalists, storytellers, flirts, and people who naturally read social dynamics.They likely reinvent themselves multiple times in life.Shadow side, inconsistency,overthinking, boredom issues, avoiding emotional depth through humor and distraction.And so I have an emotional nature, so a moon in Leo.Again, I don't really know exactly what this means, but it's... when it explains it i'm like that makes so much sense they are emotionally warm generous theatrical and expressive even if they act detached sometimes internally they want to be deeply adored their pride is huge emotionally they likely remember disrespect forever become cold if unappreciated crave reassurance isn't that so interesting aquarius rising this changes everything apparently outwardly there may appear detached cool unique unconventional, hard to read or independent.

Aquarius Rising gives an observant quality, they watch people carefully before revealing themselves.Apparently my communication style is mercury in cancer, it says this softens the gemini energy.Underneath quick mind is someone emotionally intuitive.They communicate through emotional memory, tone, feeling, and instinct.They remember how people make them feel forever.This placement creates emotional intelligence, protectiveness, and sensitivity hidden behind humor slash intellect.

I just want everyone in my life to do this and then we can read through it and understand everyone so well.My moon, Venus, and north node is all in Leo.This soul path is about learning confidence, being seen, embracing creativity, leadership, individuality, and heart -centered living.It's just all so interesting.And also, I think I talked about this in my last vlog, but when Gi and I did our values bridge quiz, all of this just lines up so scarily accurate.It says, this is the biggest contradiction in this chart.

This person simultaneously wants freedom and devotion, independence and attention, emotional safety and excitement to be mysterious and deeply seen.Okay, overall, I'm not sure if this is interesting to quite literally anyone else, but I thinkfind it so interesting and I would find it so interesting hearing other people talk about it because it just like it makes me understand people so much more deeply also okay this is when it just continues to get more like crazier and crazier.It says career slash talents, a strong potential for media, entertainment, branding, fashion, performing, writing, social media, leadership, entrepreneurship, communications, psychology, psychology slash social fields.This chart does very well on visible publicly.What do you, okay, what do you mean that where I was born, on what day and what time, leads to that?

And this is random, like, I just...It says, overall energy, this is someone who appears cool and untouchable at first, but is actually deeply heart -centered underneath.Their chart says, I want to be loved for who I am, but I'm terrified of not being enough.Yeah, not being enough once people really see me.Very magnetic chart, very memorable person.I just thought that was crazy.

Anyway, my long winded point of this is I feel like after doing the values quiz and doing that, I just have been feeling very self -reflective, really thinking, just having so many thoughts all the time.I know my brain and I know that I should be journaling, if not every day, multiple times a week.My last journal entry, do you wanna know?15th of January this year.I'm gonna sit here and watch.I am thinking about off campus a little bit.

Harvey's chasing a fly.I kind of want to start tonight.Like we can start it together anyway.Sit here and write as much as I physically can about all of my thoughts and everything.It's just crazy that I'm writing May 2026 when the start of this journal is June 2025.Like that's not that crazy, but it's crazy to me because I can just read my writing with the same pen that I wrote a year ago and how I was feeling and then fast forward now and it's just, I'm going to sit here.

I don't even know where to begin.it's been so long.

Guess what?Rose back on.And quartz.Whoa.Whoa.Look what's about to go down.

I'm so excited.And there's more.

My favorite chocolate and magnesium hot chocolate.I couldn't be happier.Wow.Wow.I'm so excited to start this show.I've obviously decided to watch it without reading the book.

I have seen people say it's quite different to the book anyway.So I'm like, and I'm not really too pressed about watching the show first.If I love it, I'll read the book anyway.I'm quite excited.I feel like I've read one Hockey Romance before.I can't even remember much about it though.

Clearly didn't stick.I'm so excited.I've heard so many things.Great song.Reminds me of Flushed Away.

Well, this is where I'll be.If you have read the book, please let me know if the book is worth it.

And also if the show lives up to the book.Oh, oh.Off campus.Here it is.

Wait, let's get some light on this.

Look at this.okay i got two episodes in and i'm liking it i was kind of researching on my phone accommodation whilst i was watching but i'm definitely gonna continue i'm definitely gonna get to just doing the closing shift let me turn off the red light what sucks is that i have to have a shower and wash my makeup off if it isn't the consequences of my own actions but i hate when i leave it too late also i finished which I was talking about in my last haul I think.I need to talk about it with someone because I just don't quite understand my thoughts on it.I couldn't put it down.I thought about it when I wasn't reading it.I stayed up late for my standards, probably reading the last third of it because I quite literally couldn't go to sleep until I knew what happened.

I think I'm landing on a 4 .5.I think I just loved how different it was to anything that I've read.I don't know and I'm not sure if the ending, like the ending was not where I thought it was going at all, not in any way where I thought the kind of plot was going.I will say and I wrote this on my goodreads when I was writing my thoughts on it, the closest, sorry and this lighting is actually awful, the closest way I can describe this book is if you liked Don't Worry Darling and the feelings and the vibes of Don't Worry Darling, I feel like you'll like this one.Like it was almost, obviously very different, but I feel like the feelings that you get whilst watching this movie, or sorry, watching that movie is kind of, I am going to have a shower and do my skincare and get into bed.

Nothing's gonna feel better than that.

As for what I'm currently reading, I'm reading The Hunger Games for the first time since I was, when did I read this, 13?I didn't know if I'd love it as much, but I feel like feel I love it more.I'm just having such a good time reading it, I really truly am.I'm 46 % through Katniss is in the games, I'm just loving it so much.My idea with this is because I really really really want to read Sunrise in the Reaping and A Ballad of something, Songbirds or something, but I thought before I read those books I would reread the first three just to kind of refresh me and to get me get me back in that world and I'm having truly the greatest time ever.These books are so good.

I also want to re -watch the movies now.I think I'll read book, read book, read book, watch movie, read book, you know, you get it, you get it.Okay, I'm gonna go to bed.This is my treat.Look who's here.Surprise, surprise.

I haven't seen her in forever.I actually feel like I haven't really vlogged with you for a long time, which is crazy because we see each other every single day, maybe, every day, maybe.Yep, surprise.

My hair looks really short like this.It does.

It's a little bit back.It's a little bit of a mullet.

You can guess that gasp, I'm just kidding, a little bit.Wait, what?I think I touched your hair.And I was like, oh, my face did, but you probably see.It was scary.Guess what we got?

Guess what?Like it is like 6 p .m.I thinkI think.No way.

Oh yeah, he's a year older than Winston.Yeah.Oh no, no.I know.Just a baby.The cutting of the chicken changes the game.

It's so oily.I'm re -reading.Hunger Games?Yeah, it's so good.I'm so happy to hear that.Yeah, I can't stop thinking about it.

Can I tell you something?I'm loving bread.Like I'm eating it up.

Yeah.No, it wasn't addicting.

Yeah.

What, how far are you through?

Um, like 45.

Solid.

Yeah.

On a train back to Boston.

I literally had to bite my tongue just then to not do that.

Why do we have it so nice?

Because it played in the car.

That'll do it.That'll do it.Okay, who's ready?Who's ready?I am.Who's ready?

My question is, are we, um, my question is, are we starting it on episode one?

No, we're not.I didn't think so.Yeah.When are we starting?Like, should we see season two and like, see the vibes?Yeah, I think so, I think so.

I texted you the other day and I was like, is it time for our Vampire Diaries rewatch?Because we've been talking about this for weeks now.

As soon as it got a little bit cold.As soon as the weather started to get a little bit cold, it just feels like the right time.

It's like Gilmore Girls and Vampire Diaries.It's the season off.So surely we're starting at the end, but we just can't do the first part.

Maybe if you were starting it like in the background.

Not the pilot.Yeah.But like...The pilot is rough.

Honestly, mainly just because of Elena.

Oh my gosh, I'm excited.I feel like I've been seeing so many TikToks of her recently.Yeah, I think I've watched one and now I'm getting.

Oh, whoa.Resume season one episode four.Maybe I tried.Oh look at Damon.Probably not.No, I know.

I love him for Elena, but I'm team Stefan.Yeah, and you would rather date a Stefan.I think so.When does, like, Bonnie become a vampire?Trigger warning.Spoiler alert.

Bonnie becomes a vampire?

Not Bonnie.

Caroline.I was about to go, what?Sorry.

Oh, so true.Caroline.In the first season.Right.I feel like that happens pretty quick, yeah.

Love you, Stefan.Ugh!

Am I sitting like way too close to you?Well, I'm scared.I'm scared of eating.We've been sitting there starving for like an hour.

I am so happy you've chosen to do this.Me reading Bride, I'm like, all I know about vampires is from this.

Yes.And then I think some of it is a little bit different.

Oh.Wait.

Watching this for the first time.But he doesn't become a vampire, he becomes a vampire killer.Yeah.Okay, whew.Off to a hectic start.Yeah.

Do you know what I often find?I like sit and I'm like this.Like my shoulders are, and then I literally have to like relax my shoulders.I was editing today and I was like this.Yeah.

Like, multiple times I have to tell myself that a day.And my jaw.Same.

Oh, that would be the end of season one.Oh my god.Maybe we should have watched season one.Maybe.

End episode.

Cause remember they gathered all the vampire diaries and put them in the basement?

All the vampire diaries.Don't say that.All the vampire diaries.Don't say that.

I'm getting G to do the astrology quiz.No.Thing.No.Chat.I just don't understand that, like, my logical part of my brain is like, this can't be happening.

be a thing where you're born what time you're born what time of year you're born just doesn't make sense to me no like because then it's so accurate for me what about all of the other people who were born at the same time same birthday same place because they would have to be

Not many though, even just one.

Imagine having a conversation with them.Oh my gosh, I'm so excited.And I'm nervous.I love learning things about people.Now we take a screenshot of that.This?

Yeah.My chart is very strong air and fire signature, which is intellectually quick, socially magnetic, emotionally dramatic, and deeply driven by self -expression and recognition.The biggest things are charisma, independence, creativity, attention, relationships, and identity.Is that not gonna make it into the video?Do I ask it anything?Tell me everything I need to know about this person based off this birth chart.

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited.This is my favorite pastime.We're about to get a lot of reading.Yeah, I can't wait.Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh, the first sentence, I'm like, oh really?

Yeah, tell me.This chart has a very emotional, very emotional, intuitive, and deeply feeling personality at its core.Dominant energy is water mixed with air, which creates someone who is sensitive and psychic feeling on the inside, but mentally active and socially adaptable on the outside.

Wow.

Okay, so this is your personality, your core personality.Care intensely about family and loved ones.Remember everything emotionally.Have strong instincts about people.Need emotional safety to fully open up.Can appear soft, but are actually very resilient.

They're rarely cold.Even if they hide their feelings, emotions run their life beneath the surface.Often creates caretaker energy, maternal instincts, loyalty, sentimentality, moodiness, and defensiveness when hurt.Probably highly affected by atmosphere and other people's emotions.

Very old soul.Oh, in relationship.Venus and Gemini.You're Gemini in your love relationship.

That's fascinating.Is it?Can't wait to hear more.In relationships, this person needs mental stimulation, conversation, humor, playfulness, variety.Even though they're emotionally deep, they also need someone who keeps things interesting mentally.Contradiction.

Yeah.

Emotionally needy, but mentally restless.Mentally restless is interesting.So they may want closeness while also needing space mentally.

It is so humbly being perceived.I know.By something that doesn't even know you.Yeah.But like why is it so accurate?

Communication style.Acts from feelings, is protective of loved ones, may suppress anger until it explodes.

Like how?

Very nurturing energy but emotionally reactive if pushed too far.

change dramatically through travel.

Yeah, but also education, spirituality, and belief systems.But that could also just be like debunking what you've...Yeah, true.You know?Emotionally intelligent, deeply caring, intuitive, creative, romantic, sensitive, adaptable, socially imaginative, nurturing.They also might struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety, moodiness, escapism, idolizing people, weak boundaries, difficultly letting go.

I know, it's actually crazy.I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.Biggest strengths, let's go.Empathy, intuition, emotional warmth, creativity, loyalty, compassion, imagination, emotional healing energy.Biggest challenges, overthinking feelings, emotional dependency, escapism, avoidance, taking on other's pain.Difficulties and boundaries, that one just keeps coming up.

It's in every single section.The overall vibe.I've said that word 10 times and now it doesn't look like a word anymore.Intuitive.Intuitive, nurturing, artistic and mentally playful.There's a strong healer energy here.

Someone who feels life deeply and probably impacts people emotionally without even trying.I'm gonna need to do some journaling about that.Oh me and my journal are gonna have a date tomorrow.

Because if I got that I'd be like, I do not resonate with most of that.And if you got mine you'd be like, I don't resonate with all of that.

But how is, how is, I want to know how many people in the world, or like how different it is based on like same like date and time but like different place.Yeah.Where would that be?

In Sydney.

but the same date and time.Why does it matter what city I'm in?Where?

Because like what about if your mum just like happened to be traveling and gave birth there, would that change your entire personality?Or like how much is the year?

Like yeah true, like same place, same time, but like the next day.Or like same date but the year after.
