oh the roll this is me this is what i look like they think i have adhd

friday night i've got really good spanx guys everyone's

so kind in the comments a place in america it was one of the guys

i decided to go to moots on the way home

and pick up a chicken ribby sandwich which is

so good it's chicken pickled red onion tomatoes rocket

and then it's got like a mango kind of chutney mayo on it

and oh my god this is my favorite

so yeah i decided to get a little sandwich i was to go

and eat it in the park

but I'm actually just in the mood to like watch some YouTube on my TV

and just chill out a little bit at home.

I'm gonna do a little bit of editing on my laptop and yeah just relax.

I tried to do the lunch in my city trend

but I'm far too much of a control freak to actually follow

that because I like searched it twice and the two places

that came up I was like I really really don't want

that and like I don't want to waste a lunchtime

or like a Sunday having something

that I don't want I'm quite decisive I know exactly what I want

so why would I why would I do

that do you know what I mean so I had a recommendation actually

that I really want to watch

and it was my favorite I've spoken about her before one

of my favorite youtubers Kristen McAtee gosh there's people over there

chopping down a tree um I'm really just leaning into October

which is basically like Halloween

and what's it what do they call it summerween it's basically like October vibes

but in August and I'm really leaning into it I have

so many returns to do that I need to go up into town and do

but I'm just like the thought of going into town on the weekend today like just it's going to be so busy

so I'm actually just going to do all my returns this

week I think that's going to be really annoying to do

but I just I'm not in the mood for it today

and my sandwich

and I'm just going to have a chill one at home

even though all I've done all weekend is literally chill at home

but that's what the weekends are for taking a break finally I've been like oh

and I'm gonna watch Widow's Bay on Apple TV I have been hooked I'm on episode seven

so no spoilers this sounds so up my street like it's funny

but spooky yeah I'm gonna watch it I'm gonna give it

a chance I just absolutely love any she could recommend me to like stick my head down a toilet

and I would probably do it

just kidding I wouldn't do that

but yeah I love it also I'm really loving the lightness

of my hair I feel like I got my hair done

and it I don't know I'm just really noticing it

when I'm washing my hair and blow drying I'm just noticing a little bit of lightness

but I feel like it's still really natural like you probably couldn't tell

that I've had highlights done recently like I met my friend recently

and she was like did you get your hair lightened

which is the exact reaction that I want and I used to

which is weird because

when I was younger I'd be like oh my god no one even noticed

when I got my hair done

but now I'm like taking it as a compliment people are noticing obviously

that I've had some off the length

but sorry do I ever shut up about getting my hair

done probably not um I need to get over it

and I also need to eat this bloody sandwich but I take

that as such a compliment because I really like

that you can't really notice it that I've had it done because I just like it to look really natural.

One time when I got my hair done

and I put it in a ponytail and I had all of these lines here and yeah it just annoyed me.

It wasn't even that I thought it looked bad it just triggered me

when I looked at it in the mirror and saw the lines.

I don't know like I have the fear

and sometimes have nightmares about getting a tattoo because I think tattoos are

so cool and they look so good on so many people

but I just know that I would wake up like go in the shower

and be like wishing I could scrub it off

because I just get into these it's like with fake tan

or nail polish if it starts to like chip

or go a little bit crispy not the nail polish but

if the fake tan goes a little bit crispy

or tiger bready I'm like I need to get this off

me immediately I need to scrub it off like I don't

want to sleep in jewelry I want to be clear

and take everything off so I think it's kind of like a similar thing to

that where the lines just did something in my brain

that didn't didn't quite sit right with me also i'm i

just posted my recent vlog about some like what i realized at 29

which is basically that i need to be more organized

and make more effort to be organized because it makes me feel better

and i am getting a lot of comments saying that they think i have adhd so

there's something else for me to think about let's see

mushroom broccoli i'm taking a break finally i'm gonna watch widow's

bay widow's bay okay i'm gonna watch it yeah those comments about me potentially having adhd

i maybe that's true who knows but i feel like just making this effort that i've been making to kind of

be more organized it's really helping me and like chopping things down

and also quite a few of you have commented saying like just don't be too hard on yourself

and like don't be ashamed of it

so that's really nice to know maybe it is ADHD maybe it's not

but I really don't I don't feel like like it never affected me at school growing up

and it never affects me at work like weirdly I'm super organized at work

and I'm on top of things whereas it's like an at home like jobs around the house

and chores kind of thing and like life admin like rather than anything else

so it's it doesn't affect me in that way so I think

if I can combat it by doing what I've been doing over the past few weeks

100

which I've been super busy

101

and it's actually been working just like chopping things up keeping on top of things i think

102

if i can manage it

103

that way then that's pretty good thank you for all of your lovely comments though

104

and all of your advice everyone's so kind in the comments so thank you

105

i can't believe how much i've noticed recently that they filmed everything

106

so that the main frame is in the middle of the screen

107

which i think is probably so

108

that it can be viewed on like a phone it's kind of peeing me off

109

but this seems pretty good so far it's so warm

110

isn't it it's warmer than i thought it was today like

111

way warmer it's not really in the sun right now um

112

i really worry about wearing this hat i'm not trying to make america great again

113

but i do worry about this hat

114

so i am not a trump supporter of course

115

but do you think it's bad to wear a red hat do you think tell me

116

if i shouldn't be wearing it i really like the way it looks

117

when i put it on i feel like it goes with my skin tone

118

and stuff but i just hate that this hat has been

119

ruined maybe should we be allowing him to just claim red hats is it fair

120

it's republican isn't it anyway enough of the political chat we

121

are going to the shop to get some friday night things

122

because it's friday night

123

and i haven't filmed since i last spoke to you i actually want to get nail polish remover

124

because these little chipped corn chips need to be removed

125

i'm gonna do my toes i'm gonna do my fingernails i might just give my fingernails

126

and toenails a bit of a break because sister's wedding's coming up

127

so sister's wedding my sister's wedding's coming up

128

so i want to make sure that they're all clear i don't get my toenails

129

or my nails done pretty much ever

130

because it kind of makes my nails feel all soft

131

but i thought i would treat myself for that

132

so i think i should just have them clear for a

133

couple of weeks before the wedding yeah i'm gonna get my nails done

134

and my toenails done i really don't treat myself to like beauty treatments

135

and stuff i'm not i'm not one to do that

136

but i would quite like to be more on it with

137

that but i just also think once you get into it i think it would probably become addictive

138

and you wouldn't want to stop

139

so i need even her nails are amazing frazier's auntie's got the best nails

140

and we're pick dinner for tonight

141

so let's get risotto rice okay guess what we're making basically we're making a risotto

142

and we're gonna make it all cheesy and creamy we're gonna put mushrooms

143

onion all the good stuff and we got a garlic bread

144

okay yeah okay i really like apple cider vinegar shampoo

145

because it's super clarifying so i might get that next time ladies and gentlemen we're back with

146

a banging orzo dish with some garlic bread on the side

147

i am going to now get ready because i'm going to get my dress for the wedding tailored

148

um I don't need anything done to it other than I

149

need a little bit off the length of the bottom

150

because I keep trying it on and I love the way it looks

151

but then I think about the fact

152

that I'm gonna have to actually walk down an aisle in it

153

and it's too long for me I don't know who they're

154

making this dress for I feel like I'm quite an average heighted person

155

and it's like trailing along the floor

156

so I think I'm actually taller than average height I'm like 5 '8 5 '7 5 '8 and it's

157

well I'm 5 '8 and it's too long it's like really dragging along the floor

158

so gonna get the bottom of

159

that tailored hopefully I've been recommended a really good tailor on Thistle Street called Taylor Taylor's

160

and it opens at 9 it's currently 9 my plan was to be there for 9

161

because I really need this tailored

162

but my brother's here we're taking it a bit slower

163

and I'm meeting my friend after for a coffee on best

164

pajamas ever the linen ee pajamas from H &M I absolutely love them I love the color even though

165

when I'm super pale it washes me out a little bit

166

but this is me this is what I look like take it

167

or leave it honey we're going to Thistle Street to get

168

this bloody dress tailored you'll never hear the end of it

169

I bet they're gonna kick me out I bet they're gonna

170

charge you a heck of a money I kept saying to

171

Jack um oh I've got a fitting I've got a fitting

172

and then I was like hang on no I don't have a fitting I'm about to go

173

and beg some tailor that's already probably super busy to take my dress up by like two inches

174

do you think they're gonna make me put it on yeah

175

i can't what do you mean i feel like i can't

176

look at myself in it without taking an honor i'll cry

177

i might just say don't make me look in the mirror

178

that's ridiculous just get your spanks on i know i've got

179

really good spanks guys from M &S for wearing with this dress

180

and I wore them to a wedding a couple of Coachella

181

no I wore them to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and let's just say

182

anyway I ended up having to like pretty much throw up in the toilet after I did the gay gordon's

183

which is a cayley dance it's a really good one it's the best one but it is insane

184

and fraser wouldn't let me evacuate the dance floor until we did the whole thing

185

now i don't think i'm gonna be wearing this bag okay

186

we'll see maybe i'll take them off for the meal are they skims no they're m

187

and s dupe they're really good actually dupes

188

and skims yeah skims dupes i actually might link them

189

if anyone is looking for a pair i'm not meeting my friend now till 11

190

so i have a spare half hour

191

and naturally i think i'm gonna go to sephora

192

because i haven't been yet every single time i've tried to go there's been a queue outside

193

so i'm just gonna go in there and have a little look probably won't buy anything but yeah i'm excited

194

this is scotland's first sephora

195

so this is a big big deal this feels very american

196

i feel like growing up in the 2000s with youtube

197

and things like

198

that like going to sephora felt like such a american like i don't know such a like a different universe

199

so it's really exciting that there's one here now

200

but i do think the st james's center is maybe getting a little bit crowded with

201

beauty hauls but I'm not complaining because I kind of love that kind of thing

202

so I'm actually really impressed with Sephora own because it's got like cheap

203

dupes of everything

204

and I've been seeing a lot of people online with these

205

lip tint kind of felt it pens instead of using a lip liner it's like a wet felt it pen

206

but it kind of stains and it stays on

207

so I got like a pinky color

208

and I got like a more brown color

209

and I'm gonna try these out got the Tarte shape tape in the radiant one

210

because they also do like a thick matte one

211

and then this is like a lower coverage I guess

212

but it's not as thick um which I quite like

213

so I got this

214

because I feel like for my sister's wedding I'm gonna need

215

something a bit more high coverage than my Maybelline one

216

which is the one that like twists up that everyone has

217

but yeah I'm gonna try this out probably try it out today

218

because we're about to get ready

219

and head out to the fringe with our friends I'm gonna bring you with me I don't usually bring you

220

when I go out with my friends

221

but I feel like I haven't really brought you out

222

and about with me in a while and I feel bad about

223

that so I'm gonna bring you along don't know how much filming I'll do don't know

224

if I'll film anyone but I'll try um the woman said about the dress

225

that she can't tailor it without me going in with the shoes on

226

because she needs to know what like how short to do it Here's my sister calling.

227

Hi sister.

228

Yeah, I can hear you.

229

How's it going?

230

check the lip check the lip i'm actually loving that lip product

231

i feel like it's really nice i actually went for the

232

brown one with the pink one in the middle of my lip.

233

Here comes the bus.

234

The part.

235

Yeah, he just hopped on the bus now.

236

One, 22.

237

It's the same producer, I think.

238

It's the last day of the Fringe today

239

and i'm going to see gary star the penguin show the naked one

240

that everyone's been raving about this year

241

and i'm going to see it on the last day

242

and i could not be more excited i'm going to see

243

it with a group of people every single person in the group has seen it except for me

244

but they all loved it so much that they were like saying

245

that they would go back

246

and see it again i will report back oh my god

247

we went to see a show last night we went to see two shows last night

248

but one of them was like not that good

249

so i'm not gonna i'm not gonna talk about it because i don't want to be nasty

250

um it just wasn't my cup of tea i'm not into magicians

251

and magic shows i just they're not my favorite that's not

252

a magician you're funny it's a place in america fraser i'm gonna have to cut

253

that out anyway uh what was i saying yeah

254

so the second show

255

that i went to see we went to see there was like i think there must have been like 10

256

or 11 of us last night

257

that went to the Fringe together we went to see Nuns oh my god it was the funniest show ever

258

if it comes back to the Fringe next year

259

which I'm sure it will

260

but it'll probably be much bigger like the the place we

261

went to see it was pretty small it felt like a pretty tiny electric theatre

262

if that comes back to the Fringe next year I will 100 % be going to see that again

263

and I could not recommend it more it's like kind of

264

like slapstick comedy um medieval I don't know it's like these

265

three witches well no they're not witches it's this sounds terrible I'm

266

so bad at explaining things and I just feel like other people just do it

267

so well basically these three nuns

268

that are are having kind of a few of them are having intrusive sexual

269

or like deviant thoughts basically

270

and it's just the funniest thing ever there's not like over extravagant props

271

or anything like that but they just really transport you to where they are

272

and it's just really really funny and calm and yeah i really absolutely could not recommend it more

273

oh the roll we had a bit of a lazy morning

274

so we're walking to this little acai bowl place in stockbridge

275

that's opened pretty recently i think it's called oka i think i spoke about

276

that before in this vlog probably or in a previous vlog but i've been before it was really good

277

it's soup season my last hand blender broke so i'm getting this and it's reduced to 13 pounds 50.

278

i'm so excited this week i'm gonna make sweet potato ginger and

279

coconut soup try and save myself some money on buying soup every day

280

looks

281

so good i think i need to leave it to stand before i blend it up with my new supersonic hand blender.

282

Which, wow I'm so zoomed in.

283

Could this be the thumbnail?

284

Turbo.

285

Don't mess with me.

286

Normal.

287

I can't wait to zhush this.

288

Honestly it's raining outside.

289

It's Sunday evening.

290

making soup is just topping this day right off and getting back into my soup making on a Sunday because

291

it literally brings me so much joy making soup on a sundae.

292

It's so cheap for lunches and I just love soup.

293

It's such a good lunch.

294

It's nice to have something warm and hot and I don't know it feels kind of healthy.

295

I used some lighter coconut milk in there which I'm hoping isn't crap.

296

I hope it still tastes good

297

but I just figured I've been spending money buying soups every day

298

because I really like them cans of soup are also like

299

the price of a can of soup now is pretty ridiculous it's gone up

300

so much it's like 80p a day for a can of

301

if you're buying a can of soup for each day of the week

302

so needed to just bite the bullet buy a new hand blender

303

and get back on my soup making also

304

if it brings me this much joy I should just be

305

leaning into it makes the flat smell good on a sunday

306

it's such a nice activity it feels like meditation it's calming

307

i can hear so much rain outside oh my god it's so nice maybe i'll blend this now

308

i'm worried it doesn't look very orange i think i maybe boiled it for too long Thank you.

Contesto e sfondo

Il video racconta una settimana nella vita di una persona a Edimburgo, con dettagli quotidiani come cene, momenti di relax, consigli su serie TV e riflessioni sul proprio look. Il linguaggio è spontaneo e colloquiale, perfetto per chi vuole imparare l'inglese con i video e familiarizzare con espressioni usate nella vita reale. La speaker parla di piccole decisioni (come evitare il centro cittadino il fine settimana) e passioni (come le serie spooky e i sandwich gustosi), creando un contesto accogliente per esercitarsi.

5 frasi top per la comunicazione quotidiana

"I'm far too much of a control freak": Esprime la tendenza a voler controllare le situazioni. Utile per descrivere personalità in modo colloquiale.
"This sounds so up my street": Significa "Questo mi piace molto" o "È proprio per me". Perfetto per esprimere interesse per qualcosa.
"I'm really leaning into October": "Sto approfondendo" o "Sto vivendo appassionatamente" il mese. Utile per parlare di stagioni o trend.
"No spoilers": "Nessun spoiler"! Una frase essenziale quando si parla di serie o film.
"You probably couldn't tell": "Probabilmente non te ne accorgi". Ideale per descrivere cambiamenti sottili (come i capelli).

Guida passo passo per lo shadowing

Lo shadowspeak (o shadow speak) è un metodo efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e l'intonazione. Ecco come usarlo con questo video:

Passo 1: Ascolta e ripeti a bassa velocità

Il video ha un tono rilassato, ma la speaker parla velocemente. Inizia a riprodurre brevi frasi (es. "I'm just in the mood to watch some YouTube") e ripetile immediatamente, cercando di imitare il ritmo. Usa lo shadow speech per acquisire la fluidità.

Passo 2: Focus sulle espressioni colloquiali

Frasi come "do you know what I mean?" o "gosh" sono tipiche del linguaggio spoken. Ripeti queste parti più volte per memorizzarle e usarle naturalmente nella conversazione.

Passo 3: Imita l'intonazione

La speaker usa pause e enfasi per esprimere emozioni (es. entusiasmo per il sandwich o la serie). Nota come la voce sale o scende e cerca di replicarlo: questo aiuterà a rendere il tuo inglese più naturale.

Con questo video, imparare l'inglese con i video diventa divertente e pratico. Ricorda: lo shadowspeaks richiede pazienza, ma i risultati arrivano velocemente se practiced regolarmente! 🎧

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso	i've been making · I've been doing · it's actually been working
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	I've spoken · I've done · I've been
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	have been hooked · be organized · can be viewed

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
