A little recap, here we go. As already mentioned it's a long vlog - 1:15:57 . 13 seconds in and we hear "autumnal". Oh, how she has been pining to merch Autumn!
For the first two minutes, Charles splains so just skip that. Then there is more Autumnal blah blah blah from Josefiend.
I couldn't understand what she was getting at with her whole makeup that had to be taken off because she felt it didn't suit her. I never checked comments to see if she was hoping to engage followers in her comments. She could have simply edited it out unless she was fishing for compliments.
The Elemis advent calendar is advertised for the first 15 minutes of the vlog. The only good part about being that Josie confidently says (she only half-read something of the PR freebie literature) that Elemis collaborated with William Morris. Considering that Morriss lived and died in the 1800s this is an amazing feat indeed! She also manages to beg for some full sizes by saying how she had just finished some of her travel sizes.
From 15 to 41 mins we have the battle of the coffee machines which is a bore-fest. I am undecided if she's setting up old Charchar again for everyone to hurl abuse at the boring Splainer or if this is a very clever move from them both to attempt to get that expensive coffee machine at a discount of for free. They also subtly beg for goodies for their clearly upcoming kitchen renovation, so this could be another reason for the super long coffee
begging chat.
She then quickly merches a new bracelet.
From 44 to 52 minutes they go antique shopping and they hit up good ole Dalesford. Do they always add Dalesford because she needs content, is she touting to be some Dalesford ambassador or do they already have an understanding with Dalesford? I am undecided.
At 58 mins they advertise for Lala's new gravel garden. Must be getting a discount on that obviously so need to mention the company and what a good job they are doing.
At 59 she self-importantly says "yes" several times just like The Queen as she 'interviews' Lala about the garden. The Tefal gig has gone to her head, clearly. Why does her mother not whack her on the head when she acts so stupidly? She is wearing her Valentino Rockstuds while in the garden because that is what all serious gardeners wear when gardening.
At 103 mins she shows the antiques that they purchased and the ridiculous and messy table she has put together in the entrance hall. It looks like a bunch of pumpkins and old junk were tossed together randomly on a table.
She also makes sure to mention that she doesn't currently have a greenhouse. She's hoping that some company will provide one for free obviously. Let's see if anyone takes the bait.
I also noticed in the vlog that she again pretends to be pretentiously academic by asking Splainer if a saying he used was in fact correct. It was, but she then gets all muddled up by saying "luck strike twice", instead of saying lightning strikes twice. People always comment about the boring Spainer's mannerisms but don't seem to notice that she talks to Splainer all the time in the way she does to her mother in this vlog, as if she is above them somehow. Belittling is her go-to, all under the guise of the nice little princess, which she is NOT!
