9-5 WORK DAY IN MY LIFE as a 26-year-old with a corporate job 👜

Good morning! Today is a usual, typical, ordinary Wednesday and I figured it's the best day to film because I wanted to bring you along with me for a typical 9 to 5 work day in my life. If you guys are new here, I do work a 9 to 5 office job. Technically it is 8 30 to 4 30. I work in the office Monday through Thursday and then Fridays I work remote. So being that today is a Wednesday, I am getting ready to go into the office. I usually start my day by putting on my makeup, changing, and then planning out a little bit of my day. I like to write down my to-do list and just get a general idea of how I want to spend my evenings after work. Honestly, I'm feeling so tired. I had a volleyball game last night and I didn't get home until 10 30 and then of course had to shower, get ready for bed. So I feel like I'm running on very little sleep but we are powering through today. Today's work fit of the day. You guys know I've been trying to put a little bit more effort into what I wear for work. Luckily the office is pretty business casual so we don't really have to dress up, just look presentable. So I am wearing some dark wash jeans from Quince. I also have this bodysuit on. Honestly, I've had it for so long I don't remember where I got it. I got these small belts from Amazon. I can link all of this down below. And then this cardigan is also from Quince. And yeah, I'm really happy with how this outfit came together. For lunch, I'm taking leftovers from last night. I've been using the Instant Pot literally so much. So this is another Instant Pot meal. It has ground beef, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, lentils, chicken broth, and honestly it turned out so good. So I'm packing this. I am also packing my breakfast today. Again, I'm eating brekkie. I get these from Aldi. I talk about these all the time. Sometimes I do eat my breakfast here but on the days where I do want to get a little bit of extra sleep, I bring my breakfast to work. So that makes it really easy to bring. I'm also packing some snacks. So this is a Larabar and then a Fruit Rolls by the brand Bear. Of course, I bring my water bottle as well. And yeah, that's pretty much everything I bring to eat for the day. I'm also making sure to pack my vitamins because on the days where I do bring my breakfast to work, sometimes I will forget to take my vitamins because I usually take them after eating. So I'm trying to remember that anytime I bring my breakfast to work, I have to pack my vitamins. I am driving to work. I'm sorry if the sound is so bad. It's about a 40-minute drive to my workplace. So during that drive, which is kind of long, I like to honestly sit in silence, sometimes think, but also listen to different podcasts. I'm definitely a huge podcast girly. That's why I try to make the absolute most of it. So yeah, I'm excited to make the absolute most of this. It is 5.15. I literally just walked in the door, put my work stuff down. I am going to change into my workout clothes. But oh my gosh, I love when the sun just comes through my office so beautifully. I have to show you. Like, you're kidding. This is stunning. Literally, my office is my favorite room in my house because I love the way that the sun comes in and everything is just so cozy in here. But anyway, what I was saying is that I, first, before I change, I need to download a video that my editor sent me so that I can start reviewing it and let her know any changes that I want made to the video. My workout set is from Whiskey Active and it is absolutely one of my favorite workout sets. It fits so comfortably and it's so soft. If I can find the link, I'll put it in the description. I've been watching Tara Michelle on my little TV in here. I've been absolutely loving watching YouTube videos while I work out. If you happen to be watching this video on a TV, comment the little TV emoji. I'm about to hop on a FaceTime call with some of my girlfriends. We do this call every single month and I actually met these girls through social media, which is just so crazy to me. And we've been doing these calls for probably well over a year now. If you guys have watched some of my other videos, I'm sure you've seen me do these FaceTime calls with them. So I'm really excited about that. It is currently 7.06 and we'll probably be on the call for an hour to an hour and a half. Hello. How are you guys? That's so weird. Wait, it's like poking up. That's so funny. That's what I title it every time. You are the girls. I just love those calls with them. It honestly makes my month so much better. Okay. It is now 8.19. I'm going to eat the broccoli because I didn't have time to eat it before coming up here for my call. And oh my gosh, you guys, Beast Games is tonight. I don't know if you guys have been watching Beast Games, but a new episode comes out every Wednesday. By the time this is live, all of the episodes would be out, but it's still every Wednesday for me currently. And today is a Wednesday. So I'm excited to watch a new episode. I feel like I have been really looking forward to Wednesdays now just because of that. I don't know, man. It's like the little things that you can add into your week or schedule for a certain day that can make you start to really look forward to that day. I feel like that's been really helping me get through my nine to five work week. While I eat my broccoli, I'm going to review the video that I downloaded that my editor sent me. I feel like I get really inspired when I watch my own videos, which sounds so narcissistic, but there's something so inspiring seeing yourself lock in and get your workout in after work and do your healthy habits. It's just really special being able to see myself do that because I feel like it encourages and motivates me now to continue doing that. And I also think about my future self looking back and watching all of these videos, even the one that I'm filming right now today. This is such an ordinary average day for me, but I know in the future I'm going to look back on this video and just, I don't know, be like, wow, that was my life every day because I know it's going to look so different years from now. I don't know. I always try to look at past me, whether it's from years ago or literally a couple weeks ago, like this video, and be just really proud of her because every day that you show up for yourself and you take care of yourself is such a win. And that is truly something to be proud of. It is 10 58, which is definitely later than I would like to be going to bed, but the beast games episode was great as always. And I'm getting ready for bed now. I also have work in the office tomorrow and then tomorrow night I'm actually going to dinner with some of my friends, which I'm feeling really excited about. But yeah, I feel like overall this was a very typical day in my life. And I just want to say thank you for coming along with me. Thank you for watching.
