Easing in to 2025, Small Changes Are Still Changes - WEEKLY VLOG 2

[@bunnyhunny2936]

Love the long vlogs!! Keep them coming in 2025!🎉❤

[@lydiacheek]

As someone who doesn’t enjoy spending time cooking but likes to eat home cooked meals I have got the 15 minute meals down. I go into the office everyday so usually have soup or salads but for dinners my go tos are bolognaise, taco bowls, fajitas, jacket potatoes, salmon and bag and bake chicken. I usually make more than we need and stick the rest in the freezer or sometimes take it for my lunch if it’s office friendly. Meal planning and click and collect shop is the way forward

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Fajitas is interesting!!

[@cher717]

The long vlogs are very much appreciated. They’re great to have on whilst doing my Sunday chores! X

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Wonderful news!! Thank you ♥️

[@nives5208]

Love the Renew+Me Moisturiser + SPF 50. 1 product I use every morning ensuring I am wearing SPF every day.

[@kate80]

Avene Hydrance spf 30 I use the light but there’s a rich also 😊

[@LiliVanilli248]

As a person with oily, sometimes congested skin, I cannot recommend Hydrafacials highly enough. I swear my skin never looks better than a week or two after I've had one. Shame I'm a cheapskate and can't bring myself to have them more regularly!

[@Nicola-r2l]

Simple spf 30. Triple protect moisturizer is amazing makes my skin feel and look lovely . Great primer under make up too. Been using for years every single day Xx

[@SarahE1811]

I use this aswell, love it and it’s affordable

[@barbaragourley565]

Love love love the long vlog. Olay with niacinamide and spf 30 is really good 👍 😊

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Adding to the list!

If Milo takes the bus to school you'll never have to do the school run again. When I was 13 I was allowed to take the bus into the city with my friends and that was 40 miles away, so I think Milo can handle the bus to school. He's a sensible boy.

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Haha! We’ve got nightmare roadworks near us that have been going on for ages. I said he was going to start taking the bus home from last September but I’m waiting for the bus stops to go back to normal first. He’s a baby really. I was doing all sorts at his age but he’s the youngest and we’ve kept him small 😂

[@FavouriteMercy0]

I’ve bought a steam deck and I’m in love. A portable PC is brill. Hubby who is even more of a gamer is so jealous (he has his gaming pc). So, many thanks for mentioning it in another video as I order it straight after seeing it. x

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Ahhh isn’t it amazing??? I can’t believe I managed to hold off buying one so long

[@SarahE1811]

Love love loving the longer vlogs , I use the simple spf 30 moisturiser it’s not greasy and rubs in well and is not expensive at all 👍🏽

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Thanks, Sarah

[@julielepage1315]

I haven't drank any cordial or any fizzy drinks for years Also I can't drink normal milk anymore I now have skimmed lactose free milk I don't eat bacon or sausages either For health reasons. 😊

[@hannahsworld3680]

Love the new thumbnail

[@sallysimpson1390]

Loved the vlog I've been on the treadmill, prepped dinner done housework ❤😁 x

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Excellent!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kittybubbles85]

I feel you on not being able to eat stuff anymore...I can't eat McDonald's anymore, made me feel so awful last time i did, not a bad thing for me to stop eating it tho. I also can't drink ... the hangovers are in no way worth it!

[@krystinapearson8417]

Loving the long vlog and I'm not even through it yet! Is there a link to the cosmetics/product recycling that you could share please? I need to get on it!

[@krystinapearson8417]

Nvm - I've found it as an app 😊

[@emmaleake7252]

Clarkson’s farm shop is closed until March I think. Worth checking if you were planning to go to the farm itself.

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

No, we’re going to the restaurant

[@MsFolkGirl]

"Inside" by Bo Burnham is definitely my depression album however I think it still hits the same as it did when it came out. Like, some songs hit even harder than they did when it came out.

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

But I think that’s because you experienced it at that moment in time. It’s a bit like Disney films you grew up with, they’re more special because of the nostalgia element. Don’t get me wrong, I love that album but I don’t know if it would have pulled me in as well if I watched it today for the first time

[@MsFolkGirl]

@MikhilaMcDaid oh yeah, that's true. Didn't think about it that way 😅🙈

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

😂 it’s like boy band live songs you listened to when you were 13

[@carlafricker960]

SPF rec, CeraVe - Facial Moisturing Lotion, spf50. Perfect light everyday moisturiser. Used it for years. X

[@leannewells4907]

Started the bus from 12 with my son x

[@claudinesmith9966]

I’ve been using face theory ‘spf 30 glow moisturiser with vitamin C and niacinamide 4 in 1 which is a win win for me who doesn’t have time to apply multiple products in the morning

[@eleanormathie5752]

Awww I got married at rudding park. It’s so lovely there xx

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Ohhh I always say that just be magical

[@acidicfairy]

Me and my husband call non-alcohol beers NABs and are hoping this catches on 😂

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Hahah I’m in!

[@crazyanne]

Did you get a flu jab? I’m watching everybody get these colds/flus that’s going round but I don’t seem to be getting it and I put that down to the flu jab. You would think I would get all these colds/flus that’s going round since I work in retail.

[@sarahvob]

I had flu jab… but this week I’ve had full on flu for first time in my life. 🤷‍♀️

[@kamkarter8821]

I bought the MZ Wallace bag in medium and large but it doesn’t stay on my shoulder so I returned them.

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

I can understand that! The fuller it is the better it stays put

[@kamkarter8821]

@ Maybe I will try again in the future. It’s just for the price it should stay on my shoulder.

[@Shazathome]

I've had to stop dairy. Cheese and cream made me really feel sick. Had lots of stomach pains, headaches every day and took me months to work out. Since I cut out dairy it's unreal. Definitely think our digestion/tolerance change. 😢

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

I will seriously cry! When we went out to dinner the other night I was super bloated and I ate fish in a tomato sauce with a side of broccoli.. but the broccoli had a pile of Parmesan on top. That’s barely even dairy!!! 🫣😩😩😩

[@Shazathome]

@MikhilaMcDaid I know. It sucks. I'm on a quest to find decent vegan cheese!! Xx

[@Bexwes]

@@MikhilaMcDaidbroccoli can be a trigger for IBS, so it could have been that. I can’t eat it any more. But tbh I can barely eat anything my digestion has always been so bad. Basically I cut out gluten, and eat dairy and sugar in moderation.

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Noooo!!! Don’t do that to me! It’s the only vegetable I really like 😂

[@chickabilly1]

​@@Shazathome the cathedral city dairy free one still stinks but taste is better than most

[@Bexwes]

I think it’s maybe different with boys too? Amelie is in year 9 and has been going on the bus with her friends, not all the time, but as and when, shopping or to the cinema, for what seems like ages now. It’s not, probably a year or so, so she’d have been like 12? It was AWFUL having to let her start doing things with her friends.

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Definitely!!! But also she’s your only one, right? I was totally different with Ella. I think it’s a combination of gender and also that he’s the baby 😂😂

[@Bexwes]

@ She is yeh. Don’t get me wrong, if I could I think I’d keep her by my side at all times so I know where she is and that she’s safe 🤣. So tricky to get the balance right I think, give them freedom bit by bit so they learn and aren’t naive, but keep a check on it so they’re not grown up before their time. Sometimes I think she thinks she’s a fully grown adult, and because she is really sensible and mature for her age sometimes I forget she’s just a kid really.

[@beverleygarroway3904]

Don't buy another it cosmetics brush . I have purchased two, and both have ended up shredding!

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

Ooooh! Thank you!!

[@amandamatthews7705]

as a trained chef i know what's good and bad for me i know about nutrition. sadly knowing it dos not mean i follow it. its a bit like spending lots of money on skin care products and them siting there not being used so your skin dos not look any better. the information is siting there in my head but i don't use it so not getting any healthier. diet coke is not healthy don't get me wrong i drink it in the hope i will lose some weight but its not good yes there is no sugar in it but artificial sweeteners are not good for you. much better to drink the normal coke and cut sugar intake by reducing the other sugary foods you eat. like i say i know the info but don't use it

[@MikhilaMcDaid]

It’s all going to kill us eventually. I don’t drink Diet Coke for weight loss but I’m trying to limit sugary drinks for the benefit of my teeth as well as more balanced energy. I’m still drinking regular coke here and there.
