9-5 work week in my life in marketing | office day, how i balance it all, & december goals

[Music] oh [Music] good morning you guys I'm tired I just got back from Thanksgiving vacay yesterday so I'm feeling a little bit tired I also haven't had my coffee yet so maybe that's why but I just did a hot yoga class showered I might be getting my hair done sometime early this week so that's why I didn't wash my hair after Hot Yoga even though it's a little disgusting cuz I just want to make sure I'm not going to be washing it too many times watch me not be able to get an appointment but yeah welcome to a work week in my life I'm really really excited to have a good week I feel like I'm just like getting back in my routine from being out of town I was in Hilton Head South Carolina for a week and I didn't Vlog that because I feel like you guys just like my Vlogs better when I'm in Chicago and also it was the time for me to be unplugged and just with my family here we are back in Chicago I got back last night and I have a little meeting at 9:00 a.m. to start the day we love to see it got a plug in on my laptops yeah I think we'll just kind of have to see where the week takes us I feel like it'll be a bit of a reset and I haven't really sat down and like planned my whole week yet so I don't know what's going on this week but just a lot of like getting back into the routine going to Hot Yoga this morning was so nice my body like I can feel the aches and like sores in my body when I haven't done any form of yoga in like a whole week so that was amazing I hope my my body gets right back on track and just like everything feels more me and more grounded and More in my routine it is freezing outside it's it was 22° this morning when I went to my yoga class luckily it was hot yoga but yeah it's definitely it's definitely a time outside I mean we're just we're in for the Long Haul with the cold weather and so I just need to get used to it I do have like so many travels coming up this next month it's almost December so when I'm here I just want to like be in my routine stay grinding because we got to finish off the year strong there's like basically one month left in the year this is insane going to hop on to this call right now still waiting on them to join [Music] hi [Music] we're done with the call I'm going to go run and grab some coffee I'm actually working with a cleaning service that's going to be coming by today for a deep clean because my apartment definitely needs it that is happening I think they're going to come at 11:00 but they could come earlier and I just prefer like staying in the apartment when that happens I just feel like that's a little bit easier but I do want to go grab some coffee from llom first because I am hungry I am going to bundle up and braise myself to go outside and get some [Music] L we got the coffee cheers you guys and the cleaning service is going to be coming pretty soon so I will catch up with you you guys after that I've already got a lot of work done so I feel like things are going to speed by but I'm just going to be working while they're here I'll just like stay in the apartment and like change rooms depending on where they go and stuff but yeah I'm excited I feel like it's really hard sometimes to really do like a deep deep clean of the apartment I feel like we do like a decent job at keeping like the surface levels clean but I feel like the shower and stuff like that it definitely is in need of a deep clean so I'm looking forward to this and yeah let's just be working while they're here all right it's a few hours later the apartment is so clean they did such an amazing job okay ignore the closets one of my next upcoming videos is going to be me cleaning up the closet but the bathroom is like insane it's just so hard to like keep the shower super perfect and it just looks amazing it's glowing the workday is almost over and after I finish up a couple things I'm going to go head out for a lymphatic drainage massage oh my God you guys I can't wait I feel so bloated and just my body is not centered I don't know I haven't done a lymphatic drainage massage in so long and it's just so good for your lymphatic system and post Thanksgiving and like the holidays I just feel like it'll be a really good reset for me I love getting it I'm going to freeze and Float Spa and they have the infrared sauna for an hour and then you do a lymphatic massage after for an hour and it's just it's so good for your body there's so many benefits got a bundle up though I was going to Uber and then I was like girl no you you got to take public transportation like if it's light outside I'm taking public transportation like we got to save money where we can and we're trying to be a budget Queen so I feel like I lose that sometimes in the holidays cuz there's so many things to buy so many gifts to get so many promotions where I feel like I'm spending so much more money eating out more but this is where we're going to save money not buying a $20 Uber and taking the train for $2.50 instead because it really does that up let's finish up work and then head out I am so cold oh my gosh I need to get gloves [Music] oh my God you guys I am so cold and I'm going to stop at Sweet green I'm [Music] starving I'm back the lymphatic drainage massage was amazing I picked up sweet green on the way back cuz I still haven't gotten groceries which I need to order those tonight but I'm so excited for this salad you guys have no idea I'm literally starving I just also made myself an element it's over there does that like salt hydration mix I like because they just tell you to drink a lot of extra water once you do a lymphatic drainage massage so it's like 30 minutes on the sauna I had to get out a little bit early cuz I was overheating and it's like an infrared sauna and then you do the atic drainage massage and this lady was really good she was like really hard like a lot of pressure I guess is the right word to say and I really really liked that normally I'm a little bit too scared for them to do a lot of pressure but that's what's most effective she was like I'm sorry I feel like I'm hurting you I was like it's okay yeah I'm ready to devour this and I'm trying to figure out what to watch my Netflix has been so wonky with the whole like no shared like families or whatever so if that works I'm going to finish the Beckham documentary that I've been watching and if not I'm going to to find something else cuz I'm still waiting to finish golden Bachelor with the sente we're going to watch that together when he gets back in town and he comes back tomorrow so hopefully I don't have to wait too long but let's devour this salad Netflix was working it's always a gamble I am obsessed with the David Beckham documentary I'm like obsessed with Victoria and David together I just think they're the cutest thing ever and my salad was amazing I'm like so hungry this so I'm having these gluten-free crackers that I brought back from Thanksgiving like the only groceries I have and I'm going to edit well I'm editing a Tik Tok video right now and then I'm going to start editing a YouTube video and those are my plans for the night all right you guys we got the candle on and I'm headed to sleep I just have to do my skincare I'm literally so tired I have an early morning yoga class again I forgot I signed up for a class at Coconut yoga they emailed me and invited me in to try it it's all the way in Lake View so I got to wake up extra early tomorrow so I'll see you guys [Music] tomorrow good morning you guys it's 12° outside I don't know how I'm going to make it but I'm ubering to this class because it's like so far [Music] away that was a really nice nice class I'm just so cold I was going to try to take the bus home but I'd have to walk for 20 minutes and I'm not wearing long enough socks so I'm just going to find a coffee shop and then Uber from [Music] [Music] there I'm back that was quite the adventure it really just took a while like getting there and getting back but I'm glad that I went to a different neighborhood and I'm supporting like these small Chicago businesses by like posting about them on my platform so it's all good stuff I'm just like I'm freezing it's so cold that would have been so lovely to do on like a nice summer's day where I could have taken a long walk to the bus and then like gone to the coffee shop like maybe even like brought my laptop or something but that was just like so painful because of the cold like Chicago is just a different place than the cold and it's so hard to vure out but I did even though I had to Uber and I stopped by dopo I think is how you say it coffee house it must be like really popular in that area I haven't even taken a sip yet cuz I didn't want to mess it up and I had my Liners in M pretty good and they have this gluten-free bar that I ended up getting too it looks really delicious and healthy so I'm going to have that for breakfast but first i'm going to like probably wash my face and stuff I think I'm going to take a shower later today I don't know cuz I didn't really get that sweaty it was a very chill yoga flow class like very much stretching Vibes so I think I'm just going to wash my face and then eat this for breakfast and then it's time to L on to work because even though I woke up so early this morning it's already like almost 9:00 a.m. and I need to log on soon my breakfast is so good I've gotten about an hour of work done we got the brda over here filling up I'm being like a little homemaker today I'm going to throw in some laundry because I meant to throw in some yesterday since like I had some dirty clothes from traveling and some from like the week before that I didn't get to wash before I left so we're just going to throw them in now my laundry machine gets a little bit loud so I like throwing them in before I go UNL all my claws and [Music] stuff time to switch out the [Music] [Music] clothes [Music] [Music] it's lunchtime I'm taking a little bit of a later lunch it's like 120 right now so I'm going to quickly switch out the clothes hang up my delicates and then order some food and go on a little walk going to Brave myself to go outside in this craziness I think it's still 15° [Music] outside [Music] all right I put in the clothes and before I head out for my little lunch walk break moment I was checking my phone and I noticed that my marketing newsletter came in I just subscribed to this marketing newsletter called marketer milk and they send their newsletter out every Tuesday kind of around like the lunchtime hour and I'm so excited I discovered this this because I feel like just working in the marketing advertising world it's so easy to just get stuck on the day-to-day of like your specific job at your specific company with your specific products and advertisements and everything that you're focusing on and not have a chance to like look at the broader view of like what's going on in the marketing advertising world what are other companies doing especially when you're more of like an entry levish worker I mean I have like two years of work experience 2 and a half years but like I'm not you know a CEO looking at like overall strategies every day I'm very much in the weeds so basically marketer milk's weekly newsletter curates all of the latest marketing related news and they also include resources guides and case studies that basically just help you become a better marketer so yeah this is what the newsletter looks like at the top it always has just like really good reminders that you need to hear especially when you're in the weeds of things like this says always remember this your role as a marketer impacts the lives of real people make sure you put your marketing gifts to good use and help spread products and services that people genuinely love and I'm always talking about this with my boyfriend actually about like marketing and how it's like it's meant to help people find the products that they actually want we're not just trying to get people to spend their money and like trick them into buying stuff I'm very passionate about that so this actually really speaks to me it says people think marketing is about getting more customers and it is to some degree but if those customers don't stick around there's no point in getting more of them like you really want repeat customers that's the goal of marketing so those are the reminders that you need to hear when you're in the weeds working in a marketing or advertising role and it really ties into marketer milk's Mission because their mission is to increase the number of successful ethical marketers in the world so it's really focused on making marketers think authentically and really valuing their ethics so at the start of the newsletters there's this little marketing SL life insights I literally loved that one so here are the little news articles they have for the day in be dropping my phone oh my God I love the I love the riddle this one says why do content marketers constantly feel cold I don't know something about content maybe the screen is freezing I don't know I'm I like get so impatient with these I like have to look immediately oh there no answer they're surrounded by giraffes like the air is drafty so it's like cold and like you have a lot of giraffes in your like folders when you're a Content marketer we love a good dad joke and then they just have so many different articles based on like different disciplines so they have copy social media and ads SEO and content marketing they just have so many good oh I also love the ad from the past it kind of reminds me of being in a marketing class in college I did a marketing certificate if you guys don't remember in college and we would always study like old vintage ads like this and it just makes me feel like I'm a college student again this one is fory home stereo I love it all right and then it has these marketing jobs at the bottom I love it in the quote at the bottom says remember that our true purpose in life is to take care of one another our occupations are therefore tools for taking care of others using our natural talents you guys this just makes me feel so good I love having this newsletter it's like good for your soul and like grounding you but it's also just like informative and good to like stay on top of things in the news but if you want to sign up I have a link for you guys it's in the description it's www.market.com Luchia I know a ton of you guys also work in the marketing and advertising field so subscribe to this newsletter with me and we'll be reading the same thing every single week I'm so excited that I found this and then I get to share it with you guys so sign up and thank you so much to marketer milk for sponsoring this portion of the video yay okay I'm going to order my food and go grab [Music] it made it back it is so freezing outside but I'm so excited to eat this cream it always hits it's already 4:45 I don't know how that happened I have lunch my late lunch lunch and then I got some stuff done and then I had a one to1 call that was so productive so so here for that that was great I am just finishing up a couple of things before I'm going to log off logging off right at 5: today that's amazing and bentti gets back from the airport tonight so I think I'm going to order fried rice as like a little treat for him just to be nice and also I want fried rice so it's a win-win I have so much stuff I got down on my to-do list today which is so amazing we' love to see it [Music] hello you guys it's been a fun little morning of calls I went to obento with vente I am kind of feeling in a slump in the apartment I feel like I need to get out so I'm going to go down to the Comon space in the apartment and do some work yeah I got this really cozy set on from dynamite and yeah let's go downstairs oh my God you guys it's now 7:30 I've like been in the zone like I went downstairs and it was the best decision I made all day because I've just been working for the past like however many hours it's been like I don't even know I was in zone I'm so productive down there that's why I need to do more when I work from home and I'm like kind of in a rut cuz like it's hard to focus when I'm like in my bedroom like that's where my desk is and I like love having this desk and it's really nice when I'm doing the walking pad thing but I think just like going to the common space in my apartment is honestly key when I'm working from home now I am starving and vtin and I are making some bons so let's go do that I'm kind of in a rush to get a bunch of things done cuz I do want to edit a video before I go to bed too and I kind of want to go to sleep at like 9:30 and it's already like pretty late in the night because I have a workout class at 6 a.m. so I want to wake up and get my 8 hours of sleep this Beek is low key flying by I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday I'm going into the office tomorrow there's a gingerbread competition at the office so it should be fun but yeah I feel like office days are just a lot to prepare for since I have to wake up extra early so it'll be okay though we got [Music] this [Music] yum yum yum this literally smells amazing we made it with bolog sauce vento went to run an errand so he'll be back soon so I'm just going to leave his like on the little thing but yay cheers I I'll probably put on like a YouTube Vlog or something The Vibes are being set in here we got my hatch alarm clock going on with a nice little rain sounds a candle I think I'm going to do some reading before I fall asleep to kind of like help me fall asleep cuz it's 9:45 my plan was to go to bed at 9:30 but I'm not like so exhausted so I know I'm going to need some reading and that's better than like scrolling on my phone so I'm going to read more of the iron flame my book club meets on Tuesday so I only have like a few more days to finish this and I'm half of the way through which means I have 400 more pages to go it's like an insanely long book so I'll probably get like maybe 20 pages in just to give myself a little reading before I fall asleep and then I will see you guys bright and early tomorrow for my 6 a.m. head class good [Music] night good morning guys back from my hit workout I can't believe it's Thursday happy Thursday let's get ready [Music] we are all ready this is the fit kind of like a sweater but not really it's from Princess Polly jeans are ab cromy and I'm wearing my steep Madden Mary Jean platforms and then I put my hair cuz I just thought that would be fun all right let's go I'm excited for today because during lunch we have like a little gingerbread competition that's kind of why I'm going in today cuz a bunch of people will be there so it should be a good [Music] day what happened what happened what [Music] happed [Music] made it back home from the workday I immediately changed into something cozy and we're making bunza because we both are starving even though it's only 5:52 we're having dinner so early dinner is served same thing as last night but still delicious hello guys it's midnight I stayed up so late just like working on videos and stuff but this was such a good day I feel like it was super productive I got a lot of stuff done tomorrow is December 1st which is just Insanity to me but I'm in my little Christmas PJs and I'm feeling so festive the gingerbread competition was so much fun I don't know if I told you guys but we ended up getting runner up we got second place my team not to brag literally so much fun and the weather today wasn't bad at all so all in all it was just an amazing day yeah tomorrow is going to be good I'm going to get my 8 hours wake up at 8:00 a.m. you you guys know I'm obsessed with getting my 8 hours of sleep sleep is like one of the most important things we can do for like our health and body and then it should be a relatively chill Friday I'm going to do my workout like in the afternoon maybe is like a lunch break just because I ended up staying up a little bit too late to do it in the morning but yeah I'm so excited for Friday I just like December is going to be an insane month for me I'm not ready I have so many travels coming up I thought I already traveled a lot this fall and like it's just going to be even more it's going to be so much fun so I'll see you guys in the morning [Music] it's been a good workday so far I just feel so much better when I'm walking on my walking pad it's literally the best I need to get off my butt and do it more often it's like hard to motivate myself to go on it cuz like I'm tired and I want to sit but then once I go on it I'm like this is amazing I am like literally so cozy today I'm wearing this new sweatshirt I got from Alice wonder I ordered it in their Cyber Monday seale it's so cute and cozy I just love repping my city and then these sweatpants from lemon are like they're not even really sweatpants like they're not that thick um so they're good for indoors cuz I like overheat indoors pretty easily especially if I'm walking and they're just so cozy too and got my ug slippers on yeah it's been a pretty productive day I just had a couple calls I was just on one and I think I'm going to take a break fairly soon and go to a bar class as a little lunch outing I was having Wi-Fi issues this morning though so I had to do a call from the common space in the apartment because when we first got back from our coffee walk I had a call really early and the Wi-Fi wasn't working so I had to scramble and I was a few minutes late but other than that it's been a smooth saing workday I want to take a second and actually call my eyebrow please and see if I can go in today cuz I'm just thinking I just kind of want to get it over with today so I don't have to do it on a Saturday but let's call them and see H how can I help you hi I was wondering if I could come in for an eyebrow threading appointment this afternoon awesome thank you thank you bye bye okay yeah we secured the appointment CIO let's get back to [Music] work all right guys I changed well I still have the sweatshirt on but I have a set active set underneath and I'm going to go to a bar class I'm excited ready to get some sweat in I feel kind of off my routine today since I didn't work out this morning but it was nice to sleep in so it's a win-win back from bar that was such a good class I have like tus 5 minutes before I need to be at my eyebrow appointment so we're going to take a really quick shower all right fastest shower ever I'm going to grab a protein shake and head out the door see you guys after my eyebrows are done the eyebrows are done this is the look they're not as clean as as sometimes they do them but this girl was really fast which honestly I appreciate cuz it wasn't as painful even though it wasn't as precise it's okay we're not going to be a perfectionist about it and I'm going to finish up a few work things viente is done with the work day so I get to have this desk which just a nice little change of pace yeah just a couple more things to [Music] do [Music] just finished the work day I look insane I just like look like a colonial boy pretty much the entire day when I'm like working from home and I don't need to look presentable anyway let's start getting ready I'm excited so vente and I are doing a little date night Lor in Evon which is where we both went to school so it's fun going back there we're actually just there in like a few Vlogs ago but it's the new restaurant in Evon and they invited us in for dinner it looks really nice so I'm like why not so we're catching the Metra at 6:20 or I don't know when we're catching it but we need to like leave the house basically at 6:20 oh no I messed up my part basically I need to be ready to go by 6:20 probably a little bit before that I also it's December 1st and I meant to do my like goals and stuff I like started them last night but then I got distracted and they didn't finish so I need to do like my monthly reflection so I'll definitely do that with you guys cuz I just think it's fun to include in the Vlog cuz I haven't like really made those into their own videos just cuz they're so hard to make into their own specific videos but if you guys want to see them in their own videos let me know that' be fun to share with you guys all my goals for December and like do that together so might do that in the morning but maybe if I have a chance before leaving we can do that together in the meantime I'm going to get started on my makeup I'm not really sure what to wear tonight I'm honestly kind of in the mood to just like stay in a sweat set for the rest of the night but we got to dress up a little bit the cold weather always makes me want to just like dress super casual like in the summer I love getting super dressed up but in the winter or like as soon as it even gets like a little cold outside I'm like I just want to wear a sweatshirt we are already about to head out the door this is my outfit it's a sweater dress from abber cromie actually love it it's my first time really wearing it honestly anyway this is the sweater dress pokut tights that's like my signature winter look I feel like these boots from Steve Madden literally just unboxed this purse from s from that vouter that they gave us so so so excited about it and yeah that's everything I'm going to grab my ear muffs too cuz that's another Winter Classic in my wardrobe okay we're going to walk to the Metra and then go all the way up to [Music] evst oh my [Music] [Music] [Music] God [Music] hello you guys it's the next day I just got back from getting a facial my skin is feeling super glowy the tour was so much fun last night uh the food was just so amazing like I'm obsessed really realize that Moroccan culture had such an influence on French Cuisines so like the dishes that we had were Moroccan and oh my God the meat so we had lamb and chicken and the lamb was my favorite it was just so rich and so like I'm just like I'm obsessed with it it just had so many flavors in it oh my God and then the wild cats won the basketball game against Purdue last night in overtime which was just so incredible we were like watching out on the Metro on the way back and then like got back and then it was overtime and then's well vent's phone died on the Metro when we were watching the game on but then we got back and it was overtime and we got to see the win and like the students rushing the field and everything it was so so good and my facial was amazing and I just thought it'd be fun to as I like mentioned I would go over one one of you guys asked me in my last Vlogs how to talk about like how I balance everything with like working with my full-time job and social media and also like I feel like I've been having so many fun social plans and travels recently so it definitely is a lot to balance so I want to talk talk about that and then I also wanted to talk about my goals for December and like Reflections and stuff and like I just can't believe like now it's December 2nd and that's just like insane to me yeah in terms of balancing everything I really just try to like plan my week with my Google Calendar and my notion like religiously like I plan okay like when or my workouts I feel like I have like somewhat of a routine but like my workouts change like every week like I'm not taking the same workout class on the same day every single week even though I would love that but it is kind of fun to switch it up I basically just like look at my week in my Google Calendar and then I just kind of see like okay when am I going to the office like what day is my team going into the office I just kind of like plan my whole schedule around that and what's happening I have like a list of things I need to get done like okay do I need to get my nails done this week do I need to get my eyebrows done this week all right what are my social plans how am I going to coordinate my workouts around that so I just try to like make everything flexible and I like keep track of everything in my Google Calendar like if I didn't write down everything in my Google Calendar I would be so and well and I have like a daily to-do list on my notion and just keep track of like all the different like contracts I need to do for Social Media stuff and like editing editing is definitely probably the toughest thing to balance cuz it just takes so much time so I just try to like force myself to do it sometimes my videos are late which sucks but like balancing everything that's just kind of how it is sometimes so those are my tips for balancing everything I me know if you want me to go like more in depth with that but let's talk about December goals so I did like none of my goals in November cuz like it was just such a crazy busy month I like I started the month in Italy so I never really had like that like monthly reset by the time I did it was like there was only 2 weeks left in November and then it was Thanksgiving and then I was like not on my routine at all cuz I was in Hilton Head so anyway monthly goals which is basically like all my goals till the end of 2023 I'm way off my subscriber goal for the year my goal was 50k and we're not going to get there and 20K is my new goal for the end of the year which is going to be tough to get I'm not going to lie so we'll see 12K Instagram followers I've kind of given up on like having goals for followers on Tik Tok because I just like haven't grown on Tik Tok in like a while so I don't have a goal for Tik Tok to vlogmas every day so I'm doing short form vlogmas so I'll post all my little Vlogs on shorts Tik toks and Instagram reals so that's going to be fun read iron flame oh my God guys my book club is on Tuesday so I need to finish this book it's like so good it's just so hard to find the time New York Times crossword puzzle everyday I totally did not do that in November but I really really want to try in December I'm already haven't done it today so or yesterday so I'm not off to a good start at least one YouTube short every day I mean I will totally do that with vlogmas so that should be pretty easy I'm going to run three times a week this is honestly like really hard maybe I'm going to make that two times a week walk on my walking pad during work from home days so I feel like I started doing that already on Friday so I'm feeling confident about this one 10K steps a day I feel like I have been strangely really good about getting steps in because it's really hard when it's freezing outside but I'm still going to try and then write my gratitude and affirmations every day I've really fallen off this and I really want to get back back on that track because it really does just make my days so much better when I like take that second to reflect yeah those are my goals for December I just thought it'd be fun to share it with you guys and I'll like hopefully be doing those in all the future Vlogs oh another goal is I need to clean my closet because it's a disaster I think that's going to be my next Vlog actually that'll be my motivation it was so much fun to spend the week with you guys this was kind of like getting back in routine sort of week this next week coming up is going to be so much fun I'm going to New York at the end of the week for a little weekend trip just I'm so excited so I can't wait I will catch up with you guys in the next Vlog subscribe so you don't miss it I post every Sunday and Wednesday or I try to and yeah I love you guys [Music] bye [Music]
