PRODUCTIVE VLOG 💻 work-life balance, learning new skills & good food

Hi guys! So it is currently 8 30 p.m on a Friday and I thought I'd show you the things that I do outside of my 9-6 job. I finished university in 2020 and graduated in 2021 because of COVID. I managed to secure a job in 2022 and to this day I still work at the same company. So I've been working with them for two years and a half, almost three years now, and during my first year I took a UX certification. So user experience is the user's journey when they interact with a product or a service and UX design is creating a product or service that provides a meaningful experience to the user. Right now I am following some courses on Codecademy. I also use the, back when I was a student, I would use the Pomodoro technique. The Pomodoro technique is a time management method. Back when I was a student, I would do 15 minutes and then a 10 minute break and then work for 15 minutes again. Now I only do 30 minutes, 25 to 30 minutes, and I think the Pomodoro technique is actually just like 25 minutes. Morning guys! So it's currently 2 p.m. I didn't get to film much this morning because I was in a hurry. I woke up late and I got ready in a rush and then headed to the No Finish Line, which is a charity event that's organized every year here in Monaco. For this charity event, you can run or walk at your own pace and for every kilometer covered, one euro is donated for sick children. I went there to do a few laps and then got back home, showered, and now I'm just getting ready before I go to Nice. My friends are picking me up around 2.45, 3. We're gonna go to Nice to work on some projects, personal projects. We're probably gonna stay in Nice to have dinner. So that is the plan. Also, I have been trying to grow my eyebrows back just because I've just been over plucking my eyebrows. So I'm trying to not touch them anymore and see how it will look like. Hopefully, they will grow back because I heard that if you over pluck them too much for a certain like period of time, they're not like gonna grow back to how they look like before. I hope that is not true otherwise. My current lip combo is this NYX lip pencil in the shade Nutmeg and this MAC lipstick in the shade Verve. Looks like this. The weather is so nice. What the hell? Mind you, it's end of November. It's the 23rd of November and it's so sunny and the weather is so nice. Do you want to take a picture with me? Yes, of course! I was looking at the camera and I was like, oh, it's Nico Nico, right? And I was like, I'm gonna lose a cat. After Covid. Oh no, it's not him. Oh, he's over there. My bad. Sorry. Close your eyes. Look at the camera. And do a thumbs up. With your teeth. I'm too spiritual. How does it feel to look like... Michelin? Yes. It looks like pan de sel. It was fast by the way. Don't drink too much. How does it look? I look like a moth. Look at your face. He's like that. Taste it, man. I know him. So, let's go? 1, 2, 3. That's it? No, it's nothing. I know, I know. Look at her. With the blue shirt. It's hot like that. Who's that? Hi. Hey guys. I just got back home from Nice. What time is it? It's 10.45. I received my hard disk. I got the Lacie. Is that how you pronounce it? I'm not sure. The one I got is the Lacie hard drive. It's not Lacie, but Lacie hard drive. Sorry. It's a 4TB. This one is a 4TB because the only one I have is this SSD, which is 1TB, but the thing is I don't actually think it's recommended to use a hard disk, like a hard drive if you want to work on editing and stuff. I like that it has this. The hard drive is protected since it's very fragile. So, what I'm going to be doing is store all of the files that I have in here and I'm also motivated to edit, so I'm going to take a package of that. I think it looks pretty cool. It's a pretty nice color. Hopla. Sorry. And this one. Because my SSD is full. I have so many clips in there and I've been filming in 4K so the files are pretty heavy. I also got I got myself the Forever Skin Perfect stick tint. I got the shade 2.5N. I already have makeup on, so I'm going to be trying this on tomorrow, but this is how it looks like. So, I'm going to be trying this tomorrow when I do my makeup. There are probably cheaper alternatives in the market, but I've always wanted to try stick foundations. I tried to look for stick foundations in Kiko, but they didn't have any, so I was just like, you know what, I'm going to try the Dior one. Wait, let me just, because I want my hair out of my face. I'm going to put my clips on my hard disk. I hope it won't take too long though. Otherwise, I think I'm going to be, because I really want to start editing tonight, so hopefully it won't take too much time. Here. Sit. Good boy. High five. Sit. Wait. Come. Down. Wait. Haru, come. I changed up my skincare routine. I tried a serum last weekend and it caused inflammation on my skin. So, I had like red rashes on both sides of my cheeks. And so, I have been using these are the two products that I always use whenever that happens. I use this toner. It's the Beauty Water by Sudden Park, and this Aven Moisturizer. I used to get the Beauty Water on YesStyle, but they removed it from their website. So now, I just get it from Amazon. I'm going to give you money. I'm just a child girl. Wait. I don't know how to do it. I'm 8 years old. I don't know how to do it. I'm in too deep Don't want to contemplate Overcomplicate this And I made my choice When I see what's going on I'll be there at the after party Show up looking like a zombie And I don't matter no price I'll be there at the after party Show up looking like a zombie And I don't matter no price I'll be there at the after party How is it? So, I just got home. I think I'm going to try and take a cold shower tonight. I washed my hair yesterday night before bed. So, I'm just going to tie up my hair. Okay. Sorry. So, I'm just going to make some I'm just going to heat up some food. I think it's caldereta. Let's open our dish. Rice and caldereta. That's the protein. And this has vegetables as well. So, it is past midnight. It's almost 1am. And I have work tomorrow. So, I think I'm going to get ready for bed and go to sleep. So, I think that was a pretty productive weekend. I got to work on my project. I also started editing the vlog. I started my course on Code Academy and also managed to fit Duolingo in my schedule. So, I think that was a pretty productive weekend. And yeah. I'll see you next time.
