Life Update Vlog: SEN Battles, Viral Halara Haul & Charlotte Tilbury Fail

This week’s vlog is a proper catch-up — a peek into real mum life with all the highs and lows. From a proud moment for our eldest and the ongoing challenges of advocating for our children’s additional learning needs, to show week chaos, trying viral Halara activewear, and testing out the brand new Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Blush Stick (in possibly the wrong shade). I’m also chatting through upcoming projects, the Organised Life Club, and sharing a few productivity tips while walking on my trusty walking pad. It’s a little bit of everything — come along for the ride.

Walking Pad

I honestly don’t know how I managed without my walking pad. It’s become such a game-changer for my daily routine — helping me get movement in even when I’m stuck at my desk or deep in editing mode. As someone with ADHD, it’s helped massively with focus, energy, and feeling like I’m not glued to a chair all day. I can hop on during calls, catch up on messages, or even film little updates — it’s just made life feel that bit more manageable (and a lot less sedentary).

Halara Activewear

Flared Leggings With Pockets – Carbon

Halara Flex™ High Waisted Bootcut Jeans

Halara Crossover Jeans

Criss Cross Back Tops

The white version of this top is the one I am wearing at the start of the video, the pale pink (peach skin) is the one I brought out of my wardrobe to show you and the brighter pink is new.

Open Criss Cross Back Top – Deep Lotus Pink

This top has a criss-cross back like the one above, but with a much more open design. It also has a built-in bra and feels supportive enough for everyday wear and low-impact activities. That said, the other style offers firmer support and would be my choice for anything higher impact.

I genuinely love both designs — they’re different enough that you could have a similar colour in each and still feel like you’re wearing something completely different.

Open Criss Cross Back Top – Black

This black top is the same style as the last one in Lotus Pink, just in a longer length — and I love it.

Black Twist Back Top – Longer Length

This is another black, longer-length top — this one has the same back detail as the “easy peasy dress” and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Twist Back Tops

These tops are the same design as the longer-length black twist-back style, just in a shorter cut. They come in so many colours and they’re absolutely gorgeous.

The Perfect Dress

Square Neck Ruched Dress

I think this square-neck dress might just be my new favourite. The corset-style top gives it such a flattering shape, and the fabric is soft, drapey, and hangs beautifully. It also has a built-in bra — which is always a win — and it comes in so many gorgeous colours and I am thrilled to now own it in a few of them!

Easy Peasy Jumpsuit

Unreal Blush – Pinky Glow

I meant to order the Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Blush Stick in Rosy Glow, but in true ADHD side quest fashion, I accidentally clicked on Pinky Glow instead. When it arrived, I was a bit alarmed — the colour in the tube looked seriously bright and not at all what I’d intended. But once I gave it a go and blended it out, I was pleasantly surprised. It has such a beautiful finish — glowy without being glittery — and the colour, while bold, actually works really well once it’s on the skin. I still might try Rosy Glow at some point, but Pinky Glow has officially won me over.
