  • - Is this your favourite time of the year??

  • Today I am cleaning out my closet

  • I'm going to store away my winter clothes

  • It's the middle of July, so it's about damn time

  • And this one is extra special because...

  • I'm not only storing my winter clothes

  • but also my pregnancy clothes

  • For a little bit, hopefully

  • I want to get pregnant again

  • maybe when Levi is a year and a half ish

  • so I'm just going to put them to the side

  • for when that time comes

  • Some of them still fit me

  • I got them stretchy on purpose

  • so that I could wear them after pregnancy

  • But a lot of those clothes are knitted stuff, so they're still winter

  • I'm going to have four main piles

  • One is winter to put away

  • Two is pregnancy stuff to put away

  • Three is stuff that's staying in my closet

  • and four is stuff I will be giving someone else or donating

  • Done! Whew

  • Done! I'm so happy

  • I've cleared out a lot of stuff

  • So let's buy some more

  • I just want to add a couple of things to my summer wardrobe

  • I've identified what I'm missing, so let's do that

  • And I also want to buy some things for Levi

  • because he's currently four and a half months

  • and I have a lot of stuff for newborn up to about three months of age

  • but not a lot of stuff for after or now

  • So the place I can shop for both of us is

  • one of my favourite websites, farfetch.com

  • who's sponsoring this portion of the video

  • and is having a big summer sale

  • where many items are 20 to 50% off

  • Now is actually my favourite time to shop

  • because Hong Kong is hot pretty much all year round

  • So I get the most use out of my summer clothes

  • and they're at great prices

  • So I'm gonna go on my Farfetch app

  • Right now I'm really into breathable

  • loose around the belly, maxi dresses

  • and I want to get some fun, fresh, trendy colours

  • like pink or orange

  • Oh, this is cute though...

  • 50% off

  • Oh, this one looks really flattering

  • This brand, I keep liking their stuff

  • I haven't bought anything from them before

  • they look really cute

  • That's another thing I like about Farfetch

  • is you can discover a lot of new brands

  • that you haven't heard of before

  • Like they have sections, look at this section

  • 25 new names to know

  • and you don't need to worry about them not being genuine

  • I love STAUD so I'm gonna take a look at what they have available

  • Okay, this is new season but, whoa, that's nice

  • I think I'm gonna go with this one for me

  • and I'm gonna grab two sizes

  • because I have no idea what size I am right now

  • And Farfetch makes it really easy to return

  • I think you have 14 days

  • and they'll refund you within three to six days

  • I like STAUD's New Moon leather tote bag

  • I'm gonna add that in blue

  • for a nice split complementary colour

  • Now for Levi...

  • One of my favourite brands for kids is Stella McCartney

  • I'm hoping they have something with orange or blue in it

  • so we can match

  • Ooh, so cute!

  • These could work

  • This with the matching shorts, so cute!

  • OK, checking out

  • There's a lot of payment options as well

  • there's Apple Pay, MasterCard, Tap & Go

  • Super easy, super fast, good price, high quality...

  • Done! Now we wait for the items to arrive

  • Look how cute!

  • I got two sizes because Levi's 4 and a half months right now

  • so I wasn't sure if the 3 months size would fit him better

  • or the 6 month...

  • Let's try them

  • Where's Levi?

  • There he is!

  • Oh, so cute!

  • Are they a little bit big?

  • I think it's too big, these look like pants on you!

  • Let's try the other one!

  • Wow! (Levi laughs) Yeah? Let's go!

  • Okay, now it's mom's turn to get dressed

  • Is it nice?

  • Yeah? Thank you, bub!

  • Does mom look pretty? Yeah?

  • (Levi cackles) x 3

  • Wow! (laughing)

  • You've never seen mom dress up yet, eh?

  • First time! (Levi babbles) Thank you!

  • Oh my goodness!

  • Where have you been all my life?

  • These shoes...

  • (Levi screech) - (laughing)

  • Are you a shoes guy?

  • Wanna see?

  • Oh, it's so cute!

  • You can hold it by the handle or there's a long strap

  • Easier like this because I gotta carry you!

  • Ready?

  • You're ready!

  • A little bit

  • We're ready for the day

  • Thank you Farfetch for sponsoring this video

  • I will leave all these items linked below

  • Alright, we're going to head out for the day

  • We're heading to M+, it's a new museum here

  • and then we're gonna go for lunch

  • And that's our plan for the day

  • It's the first day I've really gotten dressed up

  • and we're going out somewhere like kind of special

  • as a family, so...

  • I'm excited, it's a gorgeous sunny day, blue skies

  • Guy's recharging, it's gonna be a good one

  • He's... judging all the art

  • [TOM - Which one do you wanna buy, boss?]

  • - (laughing) He's like... very serious art dealer

  • What are you doing? What are you doing?

  • [TOM - He's driving!]

  • That was really nice

  • Levi actually thrives when we're out

  • He loves to look around

  • He's, he's very serious when he does it

  • It takes him a while to warm up

  • But at home, he gets bored quite easily

  • I didn't know babies could get bored

  • but looking at the exact same stuff over and over

  • is really redundant for both us and him

  • So we like to take him out sometimes now

  • It's nice

  • Nice air conditioning, it's very hot in Hong Kong now

  • I really love the architecture, beautiful building

  • We came to Fortnum and Mason

  • we're a little bit late for lunch

  • so we're gonna do an afternoon tea set

  • This place is gorgeous, it's my first time here

  • but I always see lots of photos of it on Instagram

  • and I've always wanted to come

  • So here we are with this guy

  • We have to choose one?

  • [TOM - I'll have the Japanese one]

  • - Japanese? [- Yeah] - Genmaicha, ooh

  • ... Yeah, just tear a small piece off this one... (laughing)

  • [- God...] - It's my Beauty Blender... [- Ew]

  • So this set is gluten free

  • these are also dairy free, so are these

  • This is made from chickpeas... um, so they have options these are also dairy free, so are these

  • This is made from chickpeas... um, so they have options

  • This is a lobster omelette

  • Good morning, I am getting ready for the day

  • Today, I'm going to have a mama's day out

  • for the first time since I've given birth... by myself

  • I'm gonna go get my hair done because I really need...

  • to fix my colour and get a cut

  • My hair is starting to fall out a bit

  • and the ends are quite damaged and dry

  • So it's just making this big matted mess inside my hair

  • If I don't braid it or wear it in a bun at night

  • it gets really matted... even when I do

  • I bet I have something going on in... Yep

  • See, see this underneath, it's all stuck together

  • I have to spend a good 15 to 20 minutes every day

  • just brushing out my hair so...

  • forget about styling it or doing anything to it

  • and that doesn't fly with me nowadays

  • My life is all about getting the maximum result

  • with the least amount of time

  • My son has really shifted my priorities

  • I think I'm going to do a balayage

  • or something that's really easy to maintain

  • I'm going to get a good haircut

  • Levi is down for his first nap

  • And... I'm just finishing up getting ready

  • I'm packing up my portable breast pump

  • I use the Elvie when I'm out

  • and then with the milk that I get afterwards

  • I always bring a bag of ice and...

  • one of these cooler bags to pack it in

  • so that I can store it until I get home

  • and then some water because I get super thirsty when I'm pumping

  • Babe, let's go through this again

  • The next bottle, what do you got to do?

  • [- For his milk?] - Yep

  • [- Five drops of this, then one drop of Vitamin D]

  • - Yes! [- I know!]

  • - Can we try to salvage as much hair as we can

  • because I don't wanna lose a lot, I'm scared of that

  • Look at my hairline, Sandy

  • [SANDY - Oh my...]

  • - It's getting like... how much further back are we gonna go?

  • [- No especially just... it should grow back]

  • [Don't worry about it too much]

  • [All right, you ready?]

  • - Lunch is here!

  • I ordered like, what, 15 minutes after I sat down?

  • I'm so excited

  • Cajun chicken salad

  • This is from KALE and...

  • a side of sweet potato fries

  • [- You always like potato fries]

  • Yeah, always and a juice

  • I'm watching Tom put him to sleep

  • Hellloooo! (laughing)

  • Hi, bub! Are you doing tummy time?

  • Dad has you working?

  • How's it going?

  • I saw you trying to rock him to sleep

  • [TOM - But he's not sleeping]

  • - He's not sleeping? It's going okay?

  • [- Don't worry] - 'kay...

  • How many people it takes to brush through my hair

  • [SANDY - Detangle hair] - Three

  • [- We might need one more] (both laughing)

  • - I can't wait for a good cut

  • Thank you

  • I like the toner too, the cooler... colour

  • [- I always like the cool... You really suit the cool tone]

  • - Yeah... [- That's why it looks so nice]

  • [Okay?] - Mhmm! Thank you!

  • [STAFF - That's the... It's the caramel croissant]

  • [Outside has some caramelised]

  • [and inside, like a croissant inside] - Ohh, okay!

  • [TOM - Hello!] - Hi!

  • Hi!

  • Bread for daddy! [- Thank you!]

  • - And for you sir, some milk on ice!

  • [- Oh, the milk?] - (laughing) Yeah

  • Just finished bath time

  • Made it back home just in time for that

  • Feeling refreshed

  • Now, Levi's gonna have his last feeding

  • and then he's gonna go to bed

  • Hi! Morning!

  • Good morning!

  • It's Friday, and I am learning how to babywrap...

  • Sometimes I forget... I have a child with lots of stuff around

  • Today I'm learning how to baby wrap

  • It has been a long time coming

  • I should have learned this at the very beginning

  • But I'm excited to do it now

  • now that Levi is four and a half months

  • I can still do it, still have time

  • So this is Esther

  • [ESTHER - Hi!]

  • [Basically what our babywearing workshops are]

  • [is we want to teach parents]

  • [how to wear their babies safely and comfortably]

  • [We know different parents have different needs]

  • [So some parents like to cuddle the baby at home]

  • [some want to go hiking]

  • [and there's no one carrier that fits all]

  • [So for babywearing safety, there are 5 rules]

  • [Just remember T-I-C-K-S, ticks]

  • [T is for tight]

  • [So when your baby's in the carrier]

  • [any type of carrier, you want them tight]

  • [And for newborns, we're very particular]

  • [about the chin not going to the chest]

  • [So that's why we say make sure it's tight]

  • [just to help support the neck, keeps them upright]

  • [You have I, in view at all times]

  • [So when you wear your baby]

  • [you want to look down and see their face]

  • [For C, you want them close enough to kiss!]

  • [You want to be able to bend down and kiss their forehead]

  • [K was keep chin off chest]

  • [If your carrier's too loose, they can slump over]

  • [and then they fall asleep]

  • [and you don't know they're not breathing]

  • [and then S is supported back]

  • [So when you have a baby, their spine is naturally curved]

  • [in a C shape, so your carrier wants to support that]

  • [We don't want to force babies who are not ready to be sitting]

  • [and then their spine would be too straight]

  • [or overarching the other way]

  • [And they're not supporting them well enough]

  • [Take the top, just make sure it's still on the top, it's not twisted]

  • [And then you want to tidy there]

  • [so just grab a little bit more fabric]

  • [Pull all the fabric tail through it]

  • [Yeah, so just kind of walk the fabric]

  • [and then make sure the ends come out]

  • [Yeah, so we want to start the rings up higher]

  • [So if you tighten the fabric the rings come down]

  • [When we pull the top, you want to pull out and across]

  • - This way? [- Yep, to tighten, you see the fabric moving]

  • [ASSISTANT - He's lifting his head]

  • - Yeah, he really wants to sit

  • [ESTHER - Just take your time ... No rush ...]

  • (laughing) [- There we go]

  • [And then make your seat...]

  • [Bring the fabric between you and him]

  • [Yes, perfect...]

  • the fabric ... all the way to the rings

  • [ASSISTANT - He's staring at me...] (laughing)

  • [ESTHER - He can still look out]

  • [you can do more an off centre carry so he can keep looking]

  • [Yeah, but it will cut a little bit more into your neck]

  • - He likes to... [- He likes to look] - Yeah

  • [- "My turn!" She's like, "my turn! It's my turn!"]

  • - Every time there's a piece of clothing [- Aww]

  • - She will find it and lay on it

  • There could be a whole bed

  • and I'll place like a freshly ironed T shirt or something

  • she will go on that

  • Can I try her?

  • [- Yeah, sure!]

  • - This is my oldest baby

  • So... [- You can just put her... in the pouch, I believe]

  • - Oh, this is perfect for her!

  • Puppy! You love this one?

  • Oh my god, she's so light

  • I forgot how light she is after carrying a baby [- Carrying a baby?]

- Is this your favourite time of the year??
