Creazione lezione...
1
Good morning vlog, I am in much need of a restart,
2
a refresh, a, why is this not sticking to my face?
3
Is it on backwards?
4
Hmm, hmm, very much back on track, right?
5
My weekend has been filled with not enjoyable foods.
6
oh my god is the classic still on it?
7
We were away at the weekend like for like four days
8
and it was at a UK theme park
9
and thus what the food I ate was literally theme park food
10
and I've never in my life wanted to just eat a salad so much.
11
Why is there as long as it's sticking?
12
Freddie I'm not doing this every vlog where you're pulling the toilet roll off the wall um much
13
and much need guys of a get my wellness routine back in order
14
because i feel but i'm literally living off of buffy breakfast
15
and it's not even like an on holiday buffet breakfast it's like beans and hash browns a Weetabix with sugar
16
not where I want to be level of nutrition right
17
so we're getting ourselves back I've just had breakfast I feel already
18
that I've cleaned my insides out from that alone and I'm in much need of a skincare rejuvenation
19
oh this is where you find me for the next 15
20
minutes freddy surprisingly he doesn't mind this mask like he always wants to grab it
21
but he's not scared of it that might be slightly too tight
22
um i've put on a face mask on under this
23
and i'm just like penetrate the skin my skin actually doesn't feel too bad um
24
but i just feel i'm actually going to say this i lost my toothbrush
25
when we were away so i haven't brushed my teeth last night That's disgusting.
26
I just swirled my tooth face from my mouth and this morning I'm still without a toothbrush so my mouth feels disgusting.
27
I need to go get a new toothbrush and just, I washed my hair last night so that's the start, we've got clean hair, fresh pyjamas,
28
my own bed, I'm not going to lie, the hotel bed, it wasn't great and I was showing it with Freddie and I'm not in my own environment,
29
the whole bed was like covered in pillows
30
because i was terrified he was going to fall out he
31
also didn't sleep well it was just do you know what the weekend was just unhealthy
32
and i'm just ready to feel fresh and light and
33
and healthy and put together right
34
so let's get back on track right fear not i know you weren't feeding
35
but fear not i found a toothbrush
36
and you might be like what do you mean you found
37
a toothbrush i actually was saying this ages ago this is not an ad
38
but it was gifted honestly probably at least a year ago.
39
Suri, never used it.
40
I'm just looking them up because I'm sure they were like something sustainable or whatever.
41
Like I said, this is not an ad.
42
4 times healthier it comes in just two weeks.
43
Plant -based brush heads.
44
Right, okay, that makes sense.
45
And it comes in a UV clean and charge case which kills the bacteria.
46
I'm not going to lie, we need to start putting our toothbrushes in sterilisers, like a baby steriliser because, you know um but yes plant -based brush heads
47
and it came with a bag so
48
when you get four toothbrush heads you put them in the bag
49
and send them away for free and they recycle them so um
50
right
51
that seems all like sustainable vibe charging stand usb cable i
52
have more usb cables than i want to right i clearly opened it and just not used it let me see
53
oh my vibe green right it's obviously not going to be charged oh it's charged
54
get my toothpaste i thought it was just going to be
55
a manual brusher hold on right this has just changed my morning
56
because i haven't brushed my teeth today's monday morning i'm not
57
going to tell you actually saturday night saturday night's the last time i brush it's disgusting right toothpaste paste.
58
I'm not gonna lie I do feel like we should all skip brushing our teeth every now
59
and then so that when you do brush your teeth it feels like this because my teeth have never felt so clean.
60
Thank God.
61
Try Suri .com.
62
Like I said not an ad, free ad for them.
63
love it freddie is asleep blake is i'm currently trying to clear out my wardrobe
64
and i've taken out all like old jewelry sunglasses like you know the bits accessories
65
if you will
66
and blake is currently walking around with two headbands on a necklace a big giant bracelet stack
67
and sunglasses and she's just like in no clothes just like living a wee life it's great okay step one Skincare,
68
done Teeth, done Hair is washed, I think we'll just do what we're going to do Because I don't really want to curl it, I don't want to put a lot of heat on it I think we're going to
69
Do a wee Dyson Airwrap And a wee bit of Hair Thickening Serum Just to
70
Just to look a bit more Put together, but I'd rather have a No makeup day Do you know what I want on?
71
Body lotion Why is it when you put body lotion on you instantly Just feel
72
i don't know like i naturally have quite dry skin
73
but i think it's also because i fake tan and i find
74
when i don't fake tan for a long period of time
75
and it's genuinely all away that my skin is fine
76
but as soon as i start regularly fake tanning again it gets
77
very dry not so much from the lotion that i used the other day like i used the loving tan lotion
78
and that doesn't um make it dry
79
but the actual mousse maybe it all like goes scabby i actually must admit the loving tan doesn't really do
80
that that's more like i don't know i don't know
81
which other brands that are um
82
but it doesn't really go scabby there's maybe tiny patches like where my dry skin is
83
but other than that anyway let's go body lotion and let's put on some comfy clothes
84
we're going to dice in the air wrap just a wee bit just
85
so there's a bit of something to the air call it a day
86
basically we're out and we were at Alton Towers at the weekend which
87
if you're not in the UK is a UK theme park we went for three days it was good fun but
88
um as you can imagine the food i mean it was fine
89
but it just i'm just really looking forward to my own
90
my own food um right about uh look how much look
91
what this does guys we're still trying to um grow the
92
hair out did i stick to a routine no i did not
93
but we are trying to grow the color out
94
and i don't know how i feel about it the more it grows out the more
95
I don't like it but I do and I don't I do
96
and I don't like I see old photos of myself with my hair brown
97
and I think oh no that's the way my hair's meant to look
98
but the more it grows out just now I don't know if it's because this is still light at the bottom
99
hair thinning defense scalp serum um absolute must postpartum absolute must
100
if your hair's just thin like mine and i actually use the shampoo
101
and conditioner of this as well so that is
102
all working on the hair growth journey i mean i feel
103
like the actual what's the word quality of my hair condition of my hair is great like it feels
104
so healthy i was on a zoom call the other day
105
and they're like oh your hair looks so healthy
106
and i was like thanks
107
because i've not bleached it in like a year actually i
108
don't know how long it's been since i had my hair done but
109
long enough long enough um
110
but i do want to this is good this is great this serum
111
because you can just like it's dry it doesn't make your hair greasy
112
so you can do it when you've just styled your hair
113
and go about your day go out do whatever you want
114
and it doesn't look like you've actually put anything in
115
which is fabulous it's what we want okay comfy clothes achieved freddy of the week
116
which is not ideal but we're ready why does it just feel good to be fresh
117
but fresh in your own house like it doesn't compare in a hotel it just does not compare
118
and yes Blake gave me a nipple sticker it's not actually
119
been a nipple sticker she just put it there um
120
so yeah let's crack on with getting back on track starting with the next thing I eat which will be lunch
121
but it's only 12 o 'clock
122
it's also a holiday here by the way that's why I'm not sitting cranking out of work this is work
123
but it's fun work so I'm just going to put this back in whilst, do you know this is why my hair's coming out
124
or not growing because Freddie rips it out of my head he's got a thing about hair and he just, as I think all babies do
125
and he just grabs it all the time pulls it all the time and it's like bro no Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
126
okay we're out and about right now
127
and both my children have fallen asleep in the car
128
which is fabulous I'm also vlogging on my phone
129
because my camera is in the house I didn't plan to be vlogging my nails are
130
so nasty um they're both asleep which I find such peace being in the car
131
when both my children are asleep um I try
132
and aim for it to be around about a nap time
133
so that does happen um because it's literally the only it's gonna sound
134
so bad it's the only time of day I get like
135
half an hour to 45 minutes of just no children making noise
136
and I love my children they are with me 24 7 literally um
137
but I went into actually side note Freddie is going through
138
I don't even want to say he's going through a clanging face
139
because he's eight months old right of course he's going to be clinging to me
140
but it's like to the point where if I leave the room he's ballistic
141
if someone else takes something looking at me as
142
if don't you dare go anywhere um
143
and then last night for example I went to Lidl Lidl
144
was a two minute drive from my house I was there
145
actually timed leaving the house being in Lidl for like two things
146
and coming straight back I was away for 11 minutes
147
and I came back
148
and Adam was like my god he just screamed the whole
149
time um he need he just needed he didn't need me to be back it was crazy um he's definitely
150
he's definitely a pure and it's cute though
151
because like the other day for example I was sitting on the floor
152
and he was like standing and like holding onto my shoulder
153
and like looking at me as if going to just pick me up
154
and it was weird
155
because I will admit I was getting a bit annoyed right I was getting a bit frustrated
156
because I was trying to do something
157
and he was like hanging on to me and pulling at me
158
and clinging me and I felt like I just needed like five minutes to do something
159
and I could feel myself getting annoyed and I'm just going to say this
160
because I feel like there might be other mums
161
that are in the same situation and then you start feeling really guilty
162
because you're like oh my god this baby just wants my attention
163
and then Adam's like I know you're getting annoyed Steph he's like
164
but this actually looks really cute it looks really cute
165
that he's just like he just wants you
166
so bad um he wasn't crying he was just like clicking onto me he's pulling at me as
167
if please lift me up um and then I kind of did think
168
that actually is really cute because that's going to vanish really really quickly
169
but I went to Lidl last night
170
and Adam asked me to get him an energy drink I personally don't drink energy drinks
171
but he asked me to get one and I got ID'd
172
which is so funny because you have to be what is it 16
173
or 18 to buy an energy drink which comical I understand the alcohol one
174
because it's I think it's challenge 25
175
so you need to be 25 I know you don't have to be 25 you can get ID'd
176
if you're under 25 or look under 25
177
and that one like i totally understand that
178
but the whole energy drink scenario i was i was laugh i was laughable laughable um
179
because it's my birthday next month it's actually my birthday in
180
like three weeks oh my god is he waking up oh yes it's my birthday in three weeks
181
and i'm gonna be 33 which is crazy
182
and not gonna lie i've been having a bit of a
183
don't know what to do with my life that's not true i do know what went through with my life
184
but i feel like i'm kind of at this
185
sticking point of this is too big a conversation to have
186
right now i feel long story short we were in california last year
187
when i came back i was like i absolutely love america like i love it there's
188
so many things i agree with something i don't agree with
189
but the same here so many things i agree with in the uk
190
and so many things i don't
191
and i don't know there's just something about america it's just it's
192
so vast i feel like the opportunity is wild i feel
193
like the things to do like etc like there's just
194
so much more going on over there and i've been feeling like scotland is
195
so scotland is a beautiful right it's literally such a nice looking country
196
when you go to the right parts like right now my
197
view from where i'm sitting i'll show you in a second
198
but it's i've been feeling like i'm in such a small
199
don't say insignificant there's such a small place with limited opportunity
200
and I don't know I just I don't know I've actually
201
been feeling it for over a year I've been feeling it
202
extra since we went to California I felt it in California
203
when we came back from California like when we were leaving California both Adam
204
and I were like I don't really want to leave yet
205
like obviously we're on holiday we're doing fun things right different story
206
but yeah we're very much like I don't want to leave yet
207
and then when I came back I had california blues for like two months
208
and then obviously you kind of just get back to reality
209
and that's fine and then we obviously just went to florida last month no june may june june and
210
it has not left me like i actually this one sounds so dramatic right so so so dramatic
211
but i just have this like heaviness of like i need to go to florida
212
and not to go to disney and not to go to Universal
213
and not to be like on holiday
214
but I would love to spend like three months
215
and just like feeling it extra lately because we just came back from Florida
216
and all I do now is I think it was my
217
last video I showed you someone I've been watching I think
218
her name's Greta Wilson I don't think that's her name she lives in Florida like her family
219
and stuff and like all her friends they all live in Florida
220
and I found her through a girl called Hannah
221
because I was watching all our Disney stuff before we went to Disney
222
and guys I have watched every one of her videos for like what she's posted in the last year
223
because every breakfast time I sit
224
and watch a YouTube video as I said in my last one
225
and I'm just obsessed I'm just like oh my god imagine
226
having a pool for one imagine it being a nice day
227
and it being you have a pool in your back garden
228
a that's amazing b I just feel like the stuff to
229
do in Florida is insane um did I love the food in America I'm not gonna lie not really
230
but I also feel like we didn't really go to the
231
like the places you maybe go as a local we did a lot of touristy stuff
232
so there's that oh why is he
233
so chill he's i think he's just listening to me um
234
but yeah total rant in this vlog like look at these nice hills that's lovely lovely jobly
235
but where's the palm trees where is
236
florida florida i'm definitely trying to focus on getting on track
237
and i want to get a chat about it
238
because i've definitely um i've developed some unhealthier habits
239
that i'd rather not have i don't call them unhealthy habits because that sounds like i'm chain smoking or something but
240
essentially adam and i get a chinese takeaway every second saturday right
241
which is great perfect total balance right there um
242
and there's not like an all the time thing it's like every two weeks
243
and with that i was getting like a wee fanta
244
or a wee something kind of fizzy juice wise soda pop whatever you want to call it wise um
245
and that's fine right I have like literally two a month
246
but then I started being like oh I'll just pick one up
247
when I'm in the shop oh see before I knew it
248
see for the past maybe three four weeks I have been having some kind of like fizzy drink at night
249
and I have never drank fizzy juice in my life like I'm not a fizzy drink person
250
and I feel like they're full of literal crap right they're literally just chemicals
251
and I can and I've discovered
252
that i've all of a sudden every night now i'm like oh i could go a little a little juice
253
and i'm sitting drinking a can of juice not to judge
254
if you do that right but it's
255
because adam does it right he's a pepsi drinker every night
256
he has a can of pepsi that's fine you do you i don't want to do
257
that i personally don't want to be someone
258
that like needs a fizzy drink right i just think
259
that they're full of crap so that's also on my can i get back on track
260
because i've definitely felt a bit just been like not with it
261
and i've just been a bit off
262
and i've definitely just kind of been sloppy with my nutrition
263
and I've as I said I've not been to the gym any hot minute
264
because of my back injury
265
and I've all of a sudden developed this I want to drink physio like Fanta every night um
266
and it's a pure habit thing and I think it's
267
so interesting how things become habits so quickly and
268
if something unhealthy can become a habit
269
so quickly surely something that's healthy can also become a habit very quickly
270
so um keep that in mind if you're trying to build habits
271
if you just be consistent with them and do them over
272
and over and over again eventually they will be in place
273
and you'll absolutely love it
274
so i did get sent these drinks this is again not an ad
275
but i did get sent them um by trip so so far i've replaced
276
it's like got magnesium in it no idea sugar cherry lemon there's a cherry lemon flavor
277
and a wild strawberry flavor both are absolutely great and i even
278
so i think i got sent six cans and i had them
279
and even now i'm like i don't even want
280
that you know i don't want even though it's got magnesium
281
lion's mane lemon balm chamomile like it's not got horrendous ingredients
282
i still just don't want it like i don't want to
283
be sitting at night feeling like i need a juice before
284
bed hi hi um especially breastfeeding you know i try
285
and make sure like my diet's mostly nutritional
286
because it's getting passed on um but yeah that's just my point for right now
287
that if you have a habit um
288
that is unhealthy you can get rid of it
289
so you can restart a healthy one just as easy good morning from the person
290
that says she'll never wear a slick back
291
but she's trying on a hairband anyway so rudely interrupted
292
but welcome to another day um i've just made pancakes for black
293
and freddy i'm actually going to tell you exactly what's in them
294
because it's the most simple thing ever um
295
but my breakfast i've just made i ran out of strawberries i'm very sad about it
296
but i got my porridge with almond butter also broke up a brazil nut in there
297
which i actually think i might i don't want to say i'm intolerant to
298
but i feel like anytime i eat brazil nuts i feel Bye, bye.
299
bloated don't know if it's just a coincidence
300
and then we've also got the protein iced coffee guys protein
301
iced coffee till the day i die um i want you to actually start associating me with protein iced coffee
302
and self -confidence
303
because i want to give you self -confidence that's what i want you to achieve from my social medias
304
but hi welcome to another day the sun is shining by the way don't know
305
if you can tell the sun is shining um i really
306
don't suit slack back I actually had like a pure go at slicked backs on Instagram the other day
307
because I'm like do you not just feel like we're at a stage where everything is like so clean girl aesthetic
308
slicked back hair and I'm like I will never slack back my hair into like a bun more
309
so because I look like an alien like I don't suit it
310
but my hair um it hasn't really lasted from washing it
311
so it's needing a wash where did Freddy go he's absolutely
312
on the loose by the way he's crawling around everywhere and
313
but welcome to another day and welcome to breakfast with Steph
314
if you guys are struggling to make healthy breakfast please just make porridge
315
and a protein iced coffee it doesn't even take five minutes
316
and you can even take it on the go
317
if you really have to I'm going to be popping out this morning for a bit
318
so I'm going to take my coffee in the car with me
319
but the porridge like it's just so good why why is it
320
so good if you need porridge recipes go to my app
321
because i've got loads on there more like baked oats
322
and overnight oats and things but a genuine just bowl of porridge guys i feel like goldilocks but it's great right
323
you can't go wrong these pancakes right they're not they're not great for adults
324
because they are very very plain right but if you have young children
325
or baby freddie absolutely loves these blake loves these
326
and this made eight so this is the second batch um
327
so this is for tomorrow but freddy eats one of these
328
and blake eats like the other three literally one cup of oats
329
and one cup of oat milk and a bit of baking powder and then
330
if it still looks a bit either runny add in like just tablespoons of flour at a time um
331
or if it's too thick because it's weird sometimes it's one
332
or the other if it's too thick just add splashes of oat milk in
333
and you just get these perfect like pancakes they're like wee crumpets um
334
but like that's all that's in them no sugar no like salt no anything um
335
and that's two days worth of breakfast for the babies um
336
but yeah freddy's eight months now
337
so i cut all this up for him blake loves these she either puts peanut butter on them
338
or just a bit of maple syrup
339
and then she sometimes has yogurt on the side because
340
that girl loves to eat i really want this
341
but that's their breakfast for tomorrow i really hope i don't get cooperated right now
342
because adam's playing guitar upstairs and there's music going at the same time
343
but i made this sauce for dinner three days ago right
344
and well this will be the third day of having it
345
but it's lasted me three days and it's made my dinner
346
so convenient so it's like it's kind of like a Thai red curry
347
but it's not like a thick sauce it's more like a brothy thing to like pour over your dinner
348
so I'm just going to quickly put cauliflower and tofu in a pan
349
and then serve it with rice right long story short I have cauliflower
350
and I've got a block of tofu and I'm literally going to stir fry this for like five minutes
351
um and microwave some rice and then just heat up the sauce
352
and pour it all over the top i'll show you what
353
it looks like it's kind of like a brothy bowl
354
and then i literally just going to top it with cucumber
355
and spring onion it it saved me a hassle of trying
356
to think of sauce all the time it's literally lasted three
357
days it was an accident it wasn't supposed to last three
358
days it was supposed to last like one dinner um for like two people
359
but it made a huge match
360
so here we are now i don't know how good this looks to you on camera right
361
but you can see all the sauce under here cauliflower tofu stuff right my rice cucumber
362
and spring onion oh my lime i need to get lime
363
as well it's just it's like soupy saucy brothy i don't
364
know it's just fab okay one habit we are actually trying to do
365
while we're solo down
366
and one habit we are trying to do is actually have
367
dinner earlier i was finding we were sitting down to dinner anywhere between seven
368
and half seven by the time it's finished it's like eight o 'clock put them straight in the bath
369
and then like straight to bed basically and I just felt like
370
that part of the evening was very rushed it's very unenjoyable very just like tick off dinner tick off bath
371
and it's just I don't know it just wasn't like settling down it was very just like you know
372
so I've started making dinner
373
earlier so we're having dinner by like it's not even
374
that much earlier but aiming for between six
375
and half six also obviously like Adam and I eat late anyway
376
which is fine
377
but I wasn't really taken into account the fact the children went to bed at like half eight
378
and freddy's like falling asleep in his high chair trying to eat spaghetti um
379
so that wasn't going to work out for us um
380
so we started making dinner so we have it between six
381
and a half six it is now 6 45
382
and we are going to go walk nothing crazy literally like 10 -15 minutes one way
383
and then the 10 -15 minutes back i just want to
384
do like 20 minutes after dinner just to get a bit
385
of like fresh air about downtime get the food moving a wee bit as well
386
because that was also another thing i was eating really late just rushing through the evening then just sitting down
387
and it just felt like blah you know but blah
388
so we're going to get ready just to go like a
389
quick evening stroll it's also just like no phone time just downtime just chat
390
and walk for 20 minutes like nothing wild so then
391
when we come back we can do the whole bath time
392
we'll have showers everyone in their pajamas do the whole read
393
a book play around for a bit go to bed you
394
know nothing wild nothing crazy it's not like a major new
395
habit it's just let's eat dinner earlier to have a slower evening routine
396
and when the weather permits go out a walk because it's nice
397
and like bright and sunny right now
398
and like I said we live in Scotland that's not always
399
the case especially coming into winter that's not going to be the case um it's going to be raining
400
and snowing and dark and blah but for now it's bright enough to walk so let's go
401
We'll be right back.
402
We'll be right back.

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.
