What could save this disastrous month?

hi hello how are you doing so this month for me has been a lot about forgiving myself letting go of what I thought this month would be I don't know how it's been for you but that was me throwing away my month's plan boom it's gone in the bit January we set off on our lovely multi-week trip to Malaysia February we got back it was fine so I didn't I didn't expect much March definitely thought more would get done it did not my body just crashed returning from Malaysia it just crashed it's it's been

a series of migraines since getting back clearly I'm not doing a great job explaining this at all yeah it's not it's not been it's not been the best so I thought uh let's put on a series of fancy dresses and talk about things that have brought me joy this month ah um it won't just be a series of clips of rert Promise although obviously rert and Claudia are like the number one thing that bring me joy that's neither here nor there I actually used to have a little favorite series on my channel whe

re I would talk through things that I had really been enjoying that month and I think it's just nice to bring it back again I know she's starting a new series another one so not only can I talk to you about what I'm going through that month what's been happening what's going going on maybe what my plans are for the month ahead and sometimes it's nice just to have a little gossip but also I can just share things I enjoy uh I'm also going to be sharing these things on my Instagram story which you

can follow me on Instagram if you're not already it's at Jessica the closet my goodness my to following go follow me on Instagram gosh I mean obviously keep watching the video and then click it unless you have YouTube premium which is a great feature uh you can go anywhere you like and continue to watch a YouTube video whilst you using your phone on any app this video is not an ad for YouTube premium I just really think it's very helpful queuing things gosh that's a good feature in fact this vid

eo is not sponsored by anyone at all if I mention something in this it's not sponsored they've not paid me and some of the things will be new some of the things will be old and some of the things will just be just whatever because who knows what your favorite thing that month is Right might be something you've just discovered might be something you've always had and just realized oh yeah no I I genuinely found that so helpful this month I haven't entirely thought through the list as I speak to r

ight now it's fine it's fine I've actually had a migraine for uh what day we on now 5 days now yeah I mean I'm talking to you and I'm sitting up and look I've got makeup on and I'm dressed it's taken me 8 hours to get all day it's taken me all day to get to the at this point but I'm here now yay I did it please let me know in the comments what your favorite things are from this month anything brought you Joy have you also it just felt like your body is giving up on you anyone else wake up in exc

ruciating pain daily and next this beautiful piece of furniture this is called a queenan secretary I mean the fish it's called a secretary it's a secretary it opens it's a desk it's a folding down desk but the queen and part is like the top anyway it's a very fancy thing look it's I love it I went antiquing I got this I'm excited if you haven't noticed we're in my filming Studio this is where I sit and do most of my filming over here is where I film it you can't normally see the edge bits the me

ssy this is an edge bit yep there's the edge bits this room is also my office and I have a new PA starting soon yay and I want the room to be less of a tip yeah it's not been it's not been looking great it's not been looking good I don't I haven't had the brain space to be able to do anything other than my work my parenting my being an ill person um so i' I've just been kind of leaving things in horrible piles all around me and yeah I mean it's not been good it's not been great even I'm not goin

g to show you my nails because no one no one needs that in their life that would be that would be really unfair to you you don't deserve that your probably having a lovely day today and you don't need to see my horrendous nails but the point is I'm not doing great but then I went to antiquing and I found this and it's the perfect thing to make my office amazing so I'm going to put all my like work stuff in the bottom drawers it has drawers they do go in you have to give antiques a wiggle it's fi

ne so drawers put them in there not have just piles around the space it will be delightful um and then look up here I just made it I've made it nice you want to have a look have an explore so whilst antiquing I came across some very very pretty mother of pearl opera glasses uh I'm planning to use these in my videos at some point not when just for some spicy side cuts you know why not absolutely also going to get a sha long to go here for those S shots because it's all I've ever wanted I've alway

s wanted a sha also stocked with some beautiful perfumes that I got thanks to the fragrance shop who had me over for a delightful Mother's Day event uh I actually hand decorated this vachi bottle of perfume uh which by the way excellent excellent idea that any PR event would just like to put that out there have people paint something or do a craft that was brilliant you know I sat at the table hand painting this sassy bottle of Bright Crystal probably far far longer than I should have done every

one else had gone theyd started packing up for the day but now I will forever remember the fragrance shop and that day also it smells really good oh highly recommend I smell great now you can't smell it because this is a video but I smell great now we also have some vintage cameras one of which I received to my PO Box way way back in the day I think this one came when we lived in the old house so it must have been like 5 years ago wow you know I kind of miss having a p box I do that again I don'

t know oh lots of things I need to work on I think probably before I get a pi box again like much mer oh boy yeah the merch thing actually I am working on that I have that there are plans probably shouldn't have a list of 500 things to do this year what happened to my start of the Year video where I'm like just five just five things to do this year Jessica I think one of them was make a baby so maybe we should just focus on that one shall we it's an astronomist Globe it's amazing I can use it to

tell you a zodiac sign I can't but if I was trained I I could but it looks great on my shelf also smells amazing you know the way that old wood smells you don't even need to buy a full piece of furniture just get one piece of old wood carry it around sniff it to be fair my nose doesn't actually work that well doesn't work that well but this uh old word hits the spot number two vitamin D as a concept I thought when we came back from Malaysia and my body just complet completely gave up on me um t

hat maybe I was just suddenly suffering from some horrific vitamin D de provision that had had suddenly occurred to me which is weird though because obviously vitamin D excellent concept also available in capsu form I take vitamin D in a capsule every day and I continue to do so but still no Vitamin D good for your body good for your skin good for your hair good for your mental health good for everything thing I'm not a doctor don't take these claims as fact I thought perhaps my body was just mi

ssing the vitamin D but then I realized no I am genetically primed for gray days I should be able to withstand a lack of sunshine therefore I guess it's just a my heart's desire to see sunshine to be fair having great grandparents who came from the dark Nordic GLS doesn't actually mean that you need need more vitamin D or less yes people who need more vitamin D however are generally people who are older per menopausal have darker skin lactating there are some other reasons Claudia absolutely nee

ds more vitamin D than I do s is bad but there still isn't actually why I had some kind of weird adrenal episode after coming back um from a very long flight and getting jet lag so does not explain basically I don't know guys I think we should all be taking vitamin D uh if we live in England in the dark times winter winter they did a study recently though that found them that most people in England uh don't don't have enough one reason may be that we're not spending enough time Outdoors but also

who wants to go outdoors in the rain so many questions but we are on the subject in the nature let's talk about something that actually did work for me while I was out there and worked really well it's makeup related also most of this video is proberly about products that relate to Malaysia even though it's March and we actually came back in February Estee Lord double West day in place Foundation it doesn't balance on my hand I can't make it aesthetic it's running out the best thing about this

Foundation is that I put it on at the start of the day when we were flying off to Malaysia because I actually had to film a video um because you know why not leave everything to the last minute so I had on my full face with makeup lovely we were still packing wonderful uh and our flight that evening was actually an overnight flight so we left at 11:00 p.m. flew for 12 and 1/2 hours landed in Malaysia uh got picked up by claude's Auntie and Uncle went to dinner it was then like 6:00 p.m. Malaysia

n time was many hours it was many many hours later and it still looked amazing the foundation looked great everything else was bful eyeliner everywhere mascara completely gone lipstick what lipstick I'd eaten it but the foundation A++ so I quite like a foundation that has buildable coverage because it takes me a really long time to put my makeup on um so if it you know if it's that type that dries and then you have to apply more slowly but then you end up with a line where they overlap and that'

s just not good but this doesn't do that it's great that doesn't happen also it comes in this really lovely glass bottle which can cool down your head when you have a migraine can you tell I have a migraine no you can't you can't at all you know why because I'm wearing great Foundation that covers my angel kiss if you don't know an angel kiss is um a birth mark I have a birath Mark it's right here between my eyebrows it only shows when I have a migraine or I'm Ill yeah I know birth marks are som

e that aren't visible all the time some people have them facial birth marks I don't know what it's really called I'll look that up immacula stain commonly known as an angel's kiss is a type of vascular birth mark usually pink or red in color and located on the forehead nose upper lip and eyelids mine was a lot generally they disappear with age and aren't typically linked to medical issues that sometimes they stick around and flare up when the rest of your face loses color supposedly the marks ar

e kiss prints from the Angel's blessing newborns what an entrance anyway it's there and you can't see it right now because I covered it it's great I still absolutely feel like my brain is falling out and someone has hit me on the back of a head with a mallet having a migraine is not one of my favorite things so you may have noticed that my hair is a little bit shorter than it was when we went to Malaysia I mean you probably haven't noticed cuz it's Cur and you know when it's curled who can tell

anything honestly sometimes I curl it and it's like all the way up here but it was long when we left it was all the way down here went straight and um not anymore I I didn't I couldn't I I thought it was okay to not take my normal hair products I'm going to blame it on that I just didn't take my normal hair product s cuz they're very they were big and I didn't think to get travel sized things and like de decant my my I didn't think to decant my very large caress products into smaller uh travel s

ized ones so I didn't have any of my products with me and I was just washing my hair with the hotel things that they happen to have out there on the counter and I didn't really realize that maybe that wasn't the best idea so I used that combined shampoo and conditioner and then I blow dry my hair the errors the errors of my ways no heat protection she carried no ha heat protection with her so anyway due to the lack of of heat protection and the blazing sun and the the the fact I curl it all the

time I went to the hairdresser there was there um and they were like this needs to lose 4 in this is horrendous and I was like yeah I know it's horrendous I'm so sorry this Jesus I it did not look this bad when I left the UK I swear but it was so bad it was not okay it was so straight it wouldn't curl even it was crispy so the the lovely hairdresser cut 4 in off my hair and I learned a lesson about always carrying your products and not using um the products that are just in a hotel room so now w

e're back in the UK ah thank goodness for my hair now nothing else just my hair and I miss the food I miss the warmth I miss how little my body hurts in that warmth miss having a really good big family around me that's really nice I miss the ease with which we can get to the shops This was meant to be a segment about hair products but really it's just become a segment about Malaysian culture malls Malaysian malls why do we not have those like you can't just go to a place this is one thing that I

find incredibly weird because England Reigns all the time okay why isn't there a place where we can take our families that is indoors and have multiple things for different family members to do they have it in Malaysia because it's really hot outside why don't we have that here why are the things I can take my daughter do like the farm the park the playground the and I'm not complaining about having a farm a park and a playground where else can I take him the library but everywhere just so many

places for toddlers are outdoors in the rain every like fun experience thing that he can do is outdoors make it make sense well now I'm in the bathroom so clearly that makes more sense anyway point is I have helpful products for my hair not just the normal things I use for my hair because this caras actually sent me a whole new line of damaged hair as if they somehow knew I arrived back I had I had a little package waiting for me opened it up I didn't actually open it up that's not true rert in

sisted that his Anna and Elsa dolls open up the package so they got to do that good for them but there's a whole line of the new damaged hairline and I have to say this this thing genuinely excellent so you pump a bit out put it on your hair before you wash your hair before you put shampoo on you pump a bit out you put it on your hair you leave it for 5 minutes then you put your shampoo on then you wash lathers repeat in case of extra vampire dust and genuinely excellent very good my hair feels

clean but also healed refreshed softer smoother also rudest ha dresser I've ever had but rude in a caring way and somehow you appreciate it and finally last but absolutely obviously in no way least is supposed to be a drum roll I feel like it's turned into some kind of conductor hands not sure R makes me play dance class he's very imaginative we've been trying to interview for like Child Care Help um but he we have to explain that because we're quite like strict monor we don't do fantasy with hi

m he doesn't have fantasy like books or anything like that uh basic it helps their creativity basically if they're not introduced to Fantasy until a little later on um and so he it stops him from like getting worries and that kind of thing cuz he gets um worri if he sees things that aren't real and also it can confuse children because how they going to know the difference he has not seen a tiger up close but he also has not seen a unicorn so how is he meant to know which is real and which isn't

so the idea is that you just just have the real things that actually exist so we were having this interview and we said well you know he does a lot of imaginative play so you really have to really have to be ready for that she's like how does he do imaginative play if you don't have fantasy things these are two very different concepts no uses his imagination you're not actually sitting inside a fire truck when he is pretending that he's the fire chief and you're a firefighter and you're going to

a fire he's imagining with his imagination anyway you're fine but um that was yes where was I going with this unclear so what's my actual favorite thing this month well the 29th of March 2024 is the 10year anniversary of same-sex marriage becoming legal in the UK woo I know it it's I mean yeah it's technically not it's his 10 year anniversary of samex marriage becoming legal in Great Britain and then 6 years later it was Northern Ireland so we have it now everyone has it we've got it now the UK

has it now go us fun fact that is also the year that Claud and I met 2014 so we have been together for 10 years so it's our 10 year anniversary this year of dating we should do something really lovely oh what should we do so let me know your thoughts remember you keep up with us at Jesse and Claude everyone Instagram thank you so much for watching and thank you everyone who left really lovely comments on my last video um about being freaking ill and having a migrain shocking um did I I can't re

member if I been said in that video but my migraine prevention medication has stopped working and the one that my doctor wants to prescribe me I am not willing to take because it has really horrendous side effects and then the third option um is really expensive apparently and he said he won't then it just won't let me try it until I've tried the one with the bad side effects first which seems mean if you ask me so we're locked in a uh in a Deton except he's finally going about his daily life an

d I'm just living with migraines constantly I might be fighting a losing battle here I am I have realized that yes don't know what to do about that one good times good times yeah I mean also the migraines the worse because of my jaw Botox has worn off um because I don't get that anymore because again cut to the NHS can we all just agre not to vote for Tories again please everyone not I've ever voted for Tories before but if we could just not next time thanks Christ gutting the NHS right um I gue

ss then I just do thank you for watching thank you so much for watching this video I hope you've enjoyed it I it's a bit I it's a little bit of a different style so let me know what you think um if you'd like to see more more of this type of video what you kinds of things you would like to be included would you like to know more child related stuff parenting stuff child related stuff I mean I can't actually give you a review from a child's point of VI I no I can actually I can ask him he he talk

s a lot he will talk for hours an end about anything that you ask him um then he will also ask you a number of questions my favorite question so far has got to be why do giraffes have hooves but monkeys have hands like humans and then he continued to ask me questions until I had to explain badly Evolution and then I don't think I really got that down well because now he has to ask about every single animal so I really just created a rod for my own back I appreciate you so so much for being here

thank you so much for watching to the end because you have watched to the end yay put this emoy that you see right here on screen yes it's a cake I know it seems random but it's because I'm craving cake right now so therefore it's not random in the comments below so I know that you've watched to the end and I shall see you in my next video because next month I'm going to try harder to be less migrain the thing I can achieve as a human by trying but I'm going to work on it I'll try and then I wil
