Would love to join a run with you! 🫶🏼 I just started running this January and slowly working thru reaching 10k - it is indeed a good way to see the city! Thanks for the tips, this is so timely and helpful 🥰🙏🏼
Damn, you're gorgeous!
Hey i am choosing between canada abd the uk. I am not too optimistic in both places. I found north americans are friendlier nit necessarily canada per se. But uk is less friendly.
I would love a run meet up !
Hi Monica I am Zulfiqar Ali Mughal a CZcamsr watching from Hyderabad City Sindh Pakistan ❤
Move up North, It's more affordable to rent a house or apartment compare to London.
I've been running for a while but will say don't fall into the trap of compensating eating. I think people overestimate how much they burn when running and with time you'll see you do curve your appetite for the same or more amount of running, which is what helps to stay fit.
For sure! I need to control myself from the perpetual hunger 😂
running with monica 😍🏃♂️
Good afternoon Monica, how are you? Love the Marathon here in London, which is so wonderful being surrounded by other people too! Happy Bank Holiday & great video! ❤️
Ya it was such a nice environment 💕
Also links to the recipes would be good too ❤
I’d also enjoy more cooking/meal videos
I enjoyed this, you were just getting what you’d need without trying to be super stingy. Plus it’s crazy healthy. I love some processed biscuits or chocolate 🍫
🏠
Times are hard in the UK right now. Glorious brexit, a gift that keeps on giving.
Pretty realistic budget to me!
Really helpful. Thank you.
Amazing!
i love making a meal plan idea ❤❤ it's actually very helpful cause i always buy unnecessary stuff and then it gets rotten
Yess always used to happen when I get lazy to cook what I buy 😅
love this! :)
😘💕
Didn't you say in previous videos that you very often eat at work and pay nothing for that? This budget is not realistic in London I'm sorry, not everyone will have a canteen at work
Hmm did you watch this video yet? 😅 I said at the beginning that this is a week where there wasn’t the usual lunch at work so I meal prepped almost all of my meals for the week.
these girls always eat grass, no meat and forget the boyfriends taking them out. A steak is min 5£, 25£ would last you 4 meals.
Really helpful ! Thank you so much ❤
Good afternoon Monica how are you? Love that your doing a grocery budget video of things you buy here in London & Morrisons isn't the only cheap option but even Iceland is affordable as well too! That's what I've been doing lately but not going over my budget during this inflation crisis still going on here in England which I hope gets better and not worse! Thanks for sharing & Happy Sunday to you! 💛
Yes for sure, I used to go to aldi but now the most convenient near me is Morrison 🥲
super helpful video! Thank you so much Monica for taking the time to make this detailed video!!!
REEDLE SHOT The stinginess is definitely tolerable! I think it's a process to give your skin a definite effect😋❤
Yes for sure, definitely got used to it after a few applications ☺️
more “running with monica” vlogs please 😁🏃♀️
Great video. Thanks for the info
I can’t decide if that’s still the posh flat you were living in or a different one?
It's the same one haha
Always jealous when I see how many restaurants you’ve got to choose from.
14:14 I've just finished adapting to the REEDLE SHOT 100 product myself👍 Now I'm thinking about trying out the 300 and 700 products. Really curious about your results too!
Will share in an upcoming vlog!
Video fragments from work are truly calming, so please don't be confused to insert it
What’s the name of the tacos place? 🫨🌮🌮
sonora taqueria in stoke newington!
Hi Monica! What shade for the Chanel balm stick are you using? X
I just use the transparent one :)
I've been running for many years, and remember when I was nervous about half marathons. Now I can run a half without training no problem. A full is another story though, you definitely need training for it regardless of how experienced of a runner you are. Keep it up, it gets easier as you go and 9k will become like nothing.
Hi!! I Love your content 😊 What's the name of the Japanese cafe please?♥♥♥
Thank you 💕 It's called Toconoco
@@MonicaXGuan thank you!!
Monica, so sorry for what you've recently gone through. ❤🩹But thank you for yet another lovely vlog. ❤ I'm actually quite anxious to hear the outcome of the 'micro needle-type' cream. Hugs!
Thank you 💕 will update soon!
Happy bank holiday Monica & good evening! Wonderful London diary vlog here & Southbank here in London is one of my favorite areas in the city! Thanks for sharing & have a beautiful week! 💛
Same to you!
Loved this! Your skin is amazing 😍 Loving your vlogs, you’re such a vibe ❤️
☺️💕
I like how you balance your work life and time for enjoying yourseld too! Thanks
Hi Monica, great video! What app / website did you use to display the prices ?
Do you mean the graphics? I made them in figma actually :)
This sounds accurate, I moved in 2021 too. For a decent 1 bed now in zones 1&2 I’m seeing > £1700 pm
Excellent vlog. I literally watch these just to see you go to coffee shops lol!
Aw 🥹🫶
Rosie is the cutest!! T T
She is 🥹
also dislike drying my hair. The time. The noise hahaa
truly a struggle every time 😤
When I see people in shorts or in short sleves inside in the UK when its super cold outside I wonder how much they cranck the heating and spend on utilities.
Actually I haven’t had it on for the last month. This flat has really good insulation I guess 😅
