Work-life diaries | post breakup changes, getting my life back together

🎵 Hello! Hi! Thank you. She's sniffing. Your parents are on vacation. It's auntie time now. It's time with auntie. Yes? Yesterday, I left Joggeby at home all day and I felt so bad, but the office gets quite hectic on Mondays and Thursdays because those are our anchor days. And then, on top of that, there are a lot of people visiting from the SF office, so it was just a lot. And not only is she a tiny, tiny dog, she is also a little anxious and I think she's a little scared of new environments. But today, there are definitely less people in the office, a lot less hectic, and so I'm going to bring her in for half a day and try to see how she feels. This is a new blush technique that I've been using because remember when I was in Korea, I did that photo shoot? So she used this Lily By Red blush in the color 3 Love Beam and she used this sponge to apply it. It just looks super natural and it blends so well. And then I've been putting on just a little extra because it can be a little light and I love blush. And then she applied the remaining on the nose and chin. You know where we're going? This is her bag. Whenever I pick up this bag, she's like, oh my god, we're going outside! And she needs to be carried like a little baby. Okay, let's go. Are we ready to go to work, Joggeby? Are we ready? Yes! It's been a really busy work from home day today because I've been working on a very big launch for the past two months and it's finally launching next week so things have been really hectic as we try to wrap it up. I'm also waiting for a very special delivery today or else I would be in office and I think it's going to come in a couple hours. To be honest, it was really difficult for me for the first couple of weeks post-breakup to be in this apartment because this space just holds so many memories. It's not like we were even living together but we spent the majority of weekends here in this apartment. My sisters and my friends suggested that I start replacing things around the house and at first I was really not open to it because obviously when you're going through it it's really difficult to really hear what people around you have to say. Also, I think I'm just way too emotional because I really attribute a lot of feelings and meanings to objects and things. So a lot of the furniture in this apartment it's kind of hard for me to let go. And now after getting through the thick of it obviously I'm not completely out. I don't think I'm anywhere near there yet but I'm definitely at a better place to, you know, do daily things to pick my life back up again and to start thinking about change. I think that it's just going to be really nice to start swapping and upgrading some pieces around the house to bring in new energy and start to reclaim the space for myself again. Okay, so I just cleared out and cleaned my little sleeping alcove area and I think you all know where this is going. I'm upgrading my mattress and thank you so much to Lisa for sponsoring this portion of today's video. I had my old mattress for over six years. It made it through four moves with me and let's just say it was time. Lisa had so many different options but I ended up going with the Sapira Chill Hybrid in a queen size. The setup was super easy. It arrived right to my door, compressed in a box and expanded in just minutes. The Sapira Chill has seven layers of premium foam and over a thousand individually wrapped springs plus targeted support around the hips and edges. And if you sleep hot, you'll love the cooling quilt top that actually pulls heat away from your body. I went with the medium firm option and it hits that perfect middle ground of being soft but still really supportive. Beyond comfort, I love what Lisa stands for. Their mattresses are designed, assembled and shipped from their factory in Arizona using environmentally cautious materials. You also get a 100 night risk-free trial and they back their quality with a limited lifetime warranty. If you've been thinking about upgrading your sleep setup, now is the time. Scan the QR code or click the link in my description box and get $75 off your mattress purchase with code JULIA75. Good morning. That was the best sleep that I've had in months, actually. Like, I don't really want to get up. But this one's up. Hi. Good morning. Oh my gosh. Look at the rest of my apartment, guys. It's a mess. Hi. You like the new bed too? Is it matchy? Yeah, it does match your... My socks. I didn't do it on purpose. Petition to change Julia's gems to Julia's jewels because that just makes more sense. Like alliteration. Yeah, but it's not like jewels with a J. It is. Jewels start with a J. Jewels? Julia's jewels. Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right, you're right. She's a bright individual, but we just came from Pilates, so I think she sweat out some of the brain cells. Yeah, JJ. We haven't voted on it. It's a top two, though. Okay, well. Top two. This is my petition, guys. That's gonna be embarrassing. Yo. Sweet. Good morning. Hi. I'm going on a little picnic today. The weather has been so beautiful this weekend. It's like mid-70s today, and I wanted to bring a little dessert, so I made matcha mochi brownie. This is my first time making it. Let's cut this thing. I wish I had more space on my counter to film for you guys. This is tough. Small kitchen problems. Taste test. Mmm. The texture. Mission accomplished. Cheers!
