So you can see what we got up to I’ve sort of had like a freay birthday which I’m not complaining um Joe bought me a new vlogging camera so if can tell already I’m on my new camera it’s a Canon powershop V10 um and yeah obviously a lot better than my phone I
Don’t have to worry about storage and everything like that now so I’m going to test it out today this is my first time using it what was that just a car fall into P oh my god um yeah so today is my actual birthday and we are on our way to
Brisbon for the day so I thought I would film it a little change of scene we’re just going to eat some good food and watch some live music and just enjoy city life cuz we live by the beach obviously so yeah our first stop in about 2 minutes is Starbucks so let’s go
Get some yummy breakfast and some coffee friend star Jay’s got a caramel iced what we got oh we’ve got the same hav we iced macchi iced macchiato soy milk and then we’ve got a little vegan breakfast Burger Joe what are you doing I hear a mess what have you got Elman c yeah

Me okay hi I’m Gracie and this is my skin care routine always start with the pause then move on to the legs and then of course okay you’re both not being too cute anymore no hello so obviously it is a few days later now and I’m not in
Brisbane anymore I am back home um I didn’t film that much in Brisbane as you would have seen no excuses really um it’s the 6th of February today and that means that I have officially been 28 for 2 days now Brisbane was good my birthday was really good I’m so grateful for the
Little family that I have here um obviously all my friends and some of my family are back home in the UK so it does make like birthdays and celebrations a bit harder when yeah you don’t have a few of your favorite people around to celebrate with you but
Obviously I have my brother I have my mom Joe and my brother’s wife so yeah we had a good little evening um my mom got me a really cool cake and yeah I’m just grateful for my little birthday celebrations and I can stop talking about it now um that’s another
Birthday done I am 28 and it’s time to move on yesterday I didn’t film but all we did was the food shop and went to the gym yes I’ve joined the gym I needed it my mental health needed it my physical health needed it if you’re thinking
About it do it because it really is the only way to get you to work out regularly I believe anyway um unless you have the motivation to do it at home which I defitely don’t so yeah I joined the gym and I’m really enjoying it but
I’m not going today I’m sort of going like one day on one day off and trying to go three or four days a week so yeah that’s working for me at the moment but yeah we did the food shop and we got loads of stuff that I need to cook quite
Quickly before it goes off so I’m going to probably do that today have a bit of a meal prep day I quite like these home Vlogs like when people just stay at home and po her around so I hope you do too okay lunch has been heard and I’m now on
The iced coffee my second coffee of the day I always have an iced one for my second one I ordered like three like expensive lemons and they swapped them for this bag of odd Bunch ones which I’m all for the odd Bunch cheaper fruit and veg but the lemons are
Always awful and yeah as you can see they’re awful and they’re Rock Solid so when you try and Juice them it’s the most difficult thing in the world but yeah that was one of my jobs to get these Juiced I’ve got this tiny little
Thing to juice them in and put it all in here so when I need lemon juice it’s there ready to go so I’ve just put on a video to make it easier for me um to distract myself from the lemons same outfit on for now I had to check some on
This morning cuz I had to go outside the house but I’m going to get changed not that I don’t support wearing the same outfit over and over again I fully do okay that tedious task is now done I bought loads of new cases for my like
Phone iPad laptop watch and Kindle a bit excessive I know but I bought new cases because I went through a green stage and and I’m just not feeling it anymore okay okay my laptop has like mismatched cases and then my phone just has this cheapy case on that I want to change
Just in case you know I have a drop it or whatever so let’s do that now need you st cuz I know it ain’t easier we still make it Okay so I’ve prepped some veg in the um steamer here we’ve got pack Choy or bok choy I’m not sure um green beans and broccoli the broccoli for tonight which we’re going to have with some vegan pies that are in the oven and I’m going to go
And get some chips from the chippy and gravy slightly unhealthy but it’s Joe’s fault it is anyway I need to get a few bits from the shop so let me go and get that now and then we’ll have dinner and probably catch up on love Island and
That is dinner a bit of a beast and don’t come for me for having ketchup and groby so we’ve got a plant-based lentil and something mushroom maybe pie some nice broccoli done in the steamer and some chippy chips with some gravy good morning don’t know how well
You can see me ignore the mess around me but we are just about to head out to the gym is currently raining what a surprise it’s always raining but anyway this is the gym fit these trainers were the best investment of my life the comfiest things it’s like
Walking on clouds they’re called the Brooks something something or another but yeah they’re literally every time I put them on I’m like why am I wearing anything else sorry I’m out of breath already and I haven’t even been to the gym I’ve been running around making sure
The cats are okay before we go okay I’ve been saying I would make my hummus for ages now and I’m going to show you how I do it so what you need is chickpea we’re going to rinse them off pepper salt lemon juice which you would have seen I prepared earlier um
Tahini how do you say that garam masalah that’s definitely not right garam masala garam masala and some cloves of garlic so I think that’s what I’m need I might be missing something but it always comes to me at the end but I’m pretty sure that’s
It and I put it all into my food processor whiz it up and it’s literally good to go so that’s it if you’re a Brit that’s living in Australia and you can’t find humus that tastes the same this is what you need get yourself these ingredients get yourself a a food
Processor and it literally tastes exactly the same and then you know what’s in it so it just makes sense if you struggle to open cans cuz you’re a girl um this thing Lifesaver did you see that oh my God that was so easy let me show you with the next one perfect
Okay so garlic Chickpeas another hack this to open jars sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but it just lets a bit of air in yeah oh God so good I knew I was forgetting something so you have to add some water and some oil as well just going to take some extra virgin olive
Oil a little bit of that and then you have humus to feed the whole family well in my case just to feed Joe but delicious this is actually one of the best batches that I’ve made so definitely follow that recipe add some chili oil add some roasted pine
Nuts and job is a Gooden delicious now I’m going to make some Veggie wraps with this hummus and enjoy some lunch good morning everyone we are just on the way to the lawn DRS because as I said our washing machine’s broken um I’ve got my little breakfast here I
Didn’t fancy it at home so I made it to go we’ve got blueberries coconut yogurt hemp seeds walnuts and chia seeds so little pot of goodness for me Joe’s had a packet of Cris and some chocolate yeah quite the difference Breakfast of Champions no you did have
Peanut butter on toast didn’t you yeah and and coffee and a breakfast biscuit oh okay 1 it’s 1:00 yeah it’s 1:00 yeah well 12:46 for exact um yeah so a bit late for a breakfast actually isn’t it oops anyway um on our way to aundre in bam B
And here comes the rain guess what it’s raining again good how fun is that all week this week all week it’s rained um I’m really hoping CRA weather is going to be an improvement cuz we won’t be in tropical Queensland so fingers crossed um let’s go to the laund what fun riveting
Content so this will probably be the last day of the week that I’m filming because it is Saturday and tomorrow really have to get my um things in order because we leave to go to CRA Monday morning so yeah so our washing is just over there
In that laundro map and now what are you doing Joe wa first what are you getting chips and gravy chips cheese and gravy because there’s a fish and Chippy we at this place called the Hub chippery chips cheese and gravy lovely oh big babe $17 it was oh is that
Cheap no I think that’s well expensive is it I thought that was good for two I’m so hot as well look at this ready it’s I can carry a bag full of chips what the hell you now oh my god oh that looks good though well good bro I don’t
Like it the fact that it’s in the cheese and chips bab I don’t like the fact it’s in the I was going to pull it down the side then we can just get it rid of it after yeah try and pull it all the way down like that is about 15,000 calories
In that yes it is no dinner for you tonight no babe I don’t like that let me do that again all right no dinner for you tonight no dinner for you tonight oh my god well this will be us for the next 29 minutes Joe Joe’s paranoid that
Someone’s going to Nick our trol am I keep looking over that so H we literally swea in open grav and nuclear we’re meant to eat these as well what is wrong with us what is wrong with us why did we do that That whoa it’s bright out here is it sorry back home now time to hang out the washing and then P let’s get it done okay I’ve hung out in the washing and now I’m going to start packing but I know for a fact that the suitcase we want to take is fill up
So I need to empty that first and that is going to be a mission it’s not this one I know that because that’s filled up with cuddly toys that I bring over from the UK don’t judge me and it’s not this one because this one’s filled up with sentimental
Things I brang over from the UK but it is in fact this one which is the heaviest suitcase of all and it is full up of cloes full up with cloves I should say winter clothes which don’t really see the light of day ever over here I’ve got
This thing now that since we left the UK and just like gave away all of my belongings I can’t get rid of anything else it’s like a I’m traumatized um from that week of packing giving away all my belongings um and yeah I need therapy but that’s okay
Everyone’s got their things right let’s get this on the bed and start emptying out all of the winter clothes so I can actually start packing because I have a feeling this is going to take longer than it should I probably should have had you over here where the lighting was a bit
Better but there’s no stand and I haven’t got a tripod so sorry about that come on then let’s make the bed so we can actually put the suitcase on it yes it is 400 p.m. and I’m just making the bed now but at least I’m making It feel only el el feel your skin that’s not the words what’s the words okay okay so if I didn’t already mention this this is the suitcase that I want to take to CRA we’re just going to share a big one I think we get 23 kg
Maybe and I’m just going to put the clothes the wind clothes that are in there now in this bag they need to go somewhere and this is my only solution okay so I’m going to do that now and then we can finally start packing it is about 5:00
P.m. but we still do have tomorrow as well even though I want to go to the gym paint my nails fake Chan make a Ratatouille for my mom pick her up from the airport have said Ratatouille clean the bathroom yeah so I would like to get
Quite a lot of it done tonight if you’ve worked in retail like for quite a long time you understand why I have about 80 pairs of black trousers definitely won’t need a fleece why have I even got this when is that that for honestly I’m not fashionable in any way shape or form
Um I really just choose comfort so and I don’t think CRA is like the fashion capital of Australia to be honest so I’m just not even going to think about what I’m packing I’m just going to put everything that I normally wear day today in here and hope for the best or I
Will pack one nice dress because it is Valentine’s Day when we’re there so that’s cute and there’s the rain let me go get the washing off the balcony so I thought I would take this dress because it’s Valentine’s when we’re there and we’re obviously going to go out for a
Dinner or something like that so yeah I think it’s really cute it’s obviously black but it has like this pattern that sort of um makes it more unique and then the details are really nice it’s got a frill on the bottom and yeah so this is the first
Thing unpacking I’m going to cut off the tags because there’s nothing worse when you’re rushing to get ready and you haven’t cut off the tags tags so let me do that now and then it can be put in and I’m honestly just going to pack for
About an hour see how much progress I’ve made in an hour and then have some dinner yeah that’s the plan so let me do that because otherwise we’re not going to get anywhere okay everyone I’m going to leave the Vlog here it’s been a bit of a weird one
This week has felt so long weird but anyway it started off really exciting with my birthday and then sort of just turned into a bit of a flop but I hope you’ve still enjoyed it anyway and obviously the next Vlog will be us in camra which I’m sure
