Weekly Vlog: family brunch, birthday parties, dinner chats & shopping + haul!
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video begins with the creator sharing her personal update after recovering from a severe illness, noting that while she is feeling better, her ears are still blocked and she feels congested. She reflects on her final weeks at her current hospital, which she describes as one of the busiest maternity units in London, expressing deep gratitude for the challenging yet rewarding two-year experience that has shaped her career as an obstetrician and gynecologist. Looking forward, she is excited about starting a new role in October at a local hospital closer to her home, where she will join a team of colleagues who have also had their own families there. Currently working on the anti-ward, she explains that this specialized unit cares for two distinct groups: patients requiring early labor inductions due to pregnancy risks and those with complications during pregnancy or underlying health issues like diabetes or hypertension.
In addition to her clinical duties, the creator provides a glimpse into the administrative side of her profession, discussing the requirement for doctors to conduct annual audits to improve existing practices. She mentions that while these tasks are often done in unpaid personal time, she managed to complete some work and revision during a slower afternoon at the office. Her daily routine also includes a quick outfit reveal featuring a skirt and top borrowed from her mother, along with a new vanilla-scented perfume called Granada Espondor, which she has come to enjoy. After finishing her work tasks, she plans to visit the gym to maintain her energy levels, highlighting the demanding but structured nature of her job in such a high-volume department.
The vlog then transitions to a family celebration centered around her father's birthday, starting with a shopping trip to Selfridges where she picks up makeup brushes and new shoes from Zara for work. She humorously addresses the common question about how she manages to look put-together every morning by attributing her style to her mother, who is described as someone who never leaves her bedroom without being fully dressed and made up. The group enjoys a food tour featuring spicy prawns, pork buns, and chili crab, followed by a visit to Olive & Sage for an everything bagel with English mustard. Later that evening, they attend a traditional family midnight cake gathering at home, where the creator jokes about her handwriting being compared to that of a three-year-old child on birthday cards.
The video concludes with scenes from the birthday party hosted by her friend Ser, featuring a food tour through various local spots and a relaxed atmosphere with music and singing. The creator shares lighthearted moments with her sister Soul, discussing their different styles of glasses and joking about her sister's poorly made outfit. Throughout the celebration, there is a strong emphasis on family bonding, with the group enjoying perfect weather and delicious food together. The overall tone of the video is one of gratitude for her professional journey, excitement for future changes, and joy in spending quality time with loved ones during this special occasion.

[music] Hello friends, a very good day
of gathering very very long back from
the entire
face.
>> Good morning, friends. I have literally
just finished my makeup. I have a roller
in my hair. I never like put a roller
through my hair for work, to be honest.
But my fringe looks really like out of
control when I don't blow dry it nicely
in the mornings. And I've done my
makeup. My makeup nowadays for work is
literally 6 minutes. I feel like I've
mastered mastered can't get my words
out. I've mastered the no makeup makeup
routine. This past week has been
very crazy because I have been so sick.
I've been so unwell. I don't know if you
guys can hear it, but I'm like very
bunged up and I'm finally starting to
feel better. Um, but my even my ears are
blocked. So, I feel like I'm talking
quieter than usual because I don't know
if I'm talking too loud or not. And
everyone keeps saying to me, "Huh, what
did you say?" Um, it is coming up to the
last few weeks of me being at my current
hospital. And genuinely, I am going to
miss everyone here so much. like some
people in particular have just really
shaped who I am as a obstitrician and
gynecologist and I'm for ever grateful
to them and yeah I'm just trying to soak
everything in and really take in from my
experience here. It has been two years
that have been challenging in so many
ways um and have caused me to grow and I
feel like I'm grateful to have had this
experience to be here and work in one of
the busiest maternity units in the
country and I believe the busiest
maternity unit in London. Um so it's
been incredible. Um, but at the same
time, I feel like some of the things in
my life have had to take a pause because
I've had to do this job that is so far
away from my house. So, on the flip
side, my new job starting in October is
going to be very close to my house. Um,
it's actually at my local hospital. Um,
so I'm excited to work there and I've
heard such great things about the team
there and um, so many of my like
colleagues and consultants have like
delivered their babies, had their own
babies there as well, which is really
cool. I'm just excited for this next
chapter. This week I'm mainly on the
anti ward at work. So what that
essentially means is in anti ward we
have like two groups of patients. The
first group are the people who have come
for inpatient inductions of labor. So
they have a risk factor in pregnancy
that means that they cannot wait for
natural labor i.e. when their waters
break or their contractions start by
themselves. We need to kind of start
that process for them sooner rather than
sitting and waiting for it to happen. Um
and then the second group of patients
are patients who are pregnant um but a
complication has arisen during pregnancy
whether that be to do with the pregnancy
or their own health. Um and then we take
care of them kind of like other patients
on inatient wards. So that's what I deal
with um on that ward. And then um I also
give advice to um the juniors who run
the postnatal ward and that is um
patients who have already delivered um
and they are um still an impatient for
um whatever reason maybe recovery
afterwards or blood pressure control,
blood sugar control if they're like type
2 diabetic, um infection, loads of
different reasons. It is an interesting
um place to be this week and I will keep
you guys posted. I'm just going to get
changed into my work outfit. Quick
little
outfit reveal. This is my top and skirt.
Actually, my top is my mom's. Everyone
always asks me where I get my cute work
outfits from, and it is almost always
from my mom's closet. And perfume of the
day is the Granada Espondor. It's like a
vanilla scent. And I never used to like
vanilla, but now I really do. So,
off we go to work. The time is currently
What time is it? It is 2:40 p.m. I have
finished my jobs on the wall that I'm
covering. I'm just following up on like
some of the plans here on the computer.
And then as you can see there's like
loads of boxes around. Some of these are
for audits. I've actually done my
audits. Um but that is another thing
that we kind of have to do. Not kind of
have to do we have to do as doctors is
at least undertake one audit every year.
An audit is where we look at uh
something that we're already doing and
seeing if we are if there is any way
that we can kind of improve the way that
we are doing it. And we tend to do it in
like two cycles. God sorry it's so cold
in here. So, we actually have to do that
like in our own time, unpaid as a
doctor. Um, but in the rare occasion
that like it's something like this now
where I've got my all jobs are like
mostly done and I'm sat in the office, I
could potentially work on my audit, I'm
going to revise as well. Um, which is
like something that again doesn't really
like we don't really get to do in our
own time is do some revision or admin.
Um, not every job in medicine, by the
way, is like this. As in you can have
some jobs where you do a ward round in
the morning. This is mainly like in
internal medicine where you do like a
ward round in the morning and you have
like different tasks and jobs to like do
throughout the day. Um, and then like
things can kind of like slow down
towards the end of the day and you like
start preparing like discharge letters
for people for the rest of the week. Um,
and it just really depends, yeah, like
where you're working, what department
you're in. But in this specialty, I
would say we're always busy. We've
always got something to do. Um, but the
fact that we even have like an antiatal
ward is kind of niche to my not niche,
but like more
something my current hospital would have
than anywhere else because it is just it
serves such a big population that we
need like a ward for this. Um, but yeah,
that is kind of what I'm up to this
afternoon. And then hopefully I have the
energy to go to the gym afterward. Even
if it's like a short workout, I feel
like I'll feel much better. Sol and I
are in Selfridges. We
>> Selfridges. I'm a Selfridges girl and
not a Harold girl. I feel like Hars is
just an extra 20 minute commute for us,
but also another reason why a baby
does everything. So convenient.
>> Yeah. So, it's my dad's birthday
uh tomorrow. He's getting him some
presents. We're getting a cake. So, some
makeup brushes. And I really fancy some
dinner.
I love these. [music]

purpose.

>> and uh yeah, spicy sauce. And then we

chili crab and pork buns. We're going to
dip in our spicy sauce.
>> Is that it? Wow. You want something like

fried rice with you? Cuz I picked
everything.
This is the chicken. You're leaning on a
can of Coke. Okay. Don't
