Hi guys, welcome back to our channel. Really hope you're doing well. Please excuse the state of me,
I am dishevelled from my day at work. However, tomorrow we are in the office, hence why I'm
starting this vlog now because whilst it may be a day in the life, my prep for the office starts
the night before. Like, we have to prep because my train is so early and I have to be up even
earlier tomorrow to get down to London. FYI, my office is in London. Just some context.
That will all come to life tomorrow but yeah, I don't have time in the mornings to think or
process or decide, make any form of decisions, so I like to prep my outfit, my bag and my meals,
ideally the night before. Nine times out of ten, I've been good and you guys are keeping me
accountable this time. Just actually laid my outfit out all ready for tomorrow and then I remembered
to start this vlog now. So, we've opted for some Zara trousers, Zara top and Zara jacket.
What a surprise. This jacket is actually, I think from two seasons ago, so still wearing it now,
very much getting its use. Highly recommend any jacket or shirts from Zara. Basically,
my whole wardrobe, especially work wardrobe, is from Zara. My Converse are looking a bit worse
for wear from the tubes and walking around London, etc. But yeah, that is my outfit and
then I've also stolen Holly's cardigan just to wear in the office, just because I feel like
this just looks like I'm sat in my coat and I don't want to give off that vibe. So yeah,
I'm going to pack a cardigan as well, just because the aircon in our office gets very,
very temperamental at times. I also need to pack my bag. I keep all my handbags in this drawer
but this is the one. It actually looks ridiculous. This is my sort of London bag because it's
basically giving I need to carry my whole life with me. I'm out the house for about 18 hours.
So yeah, and then I also, I'm going to use my Honor Active limited edition birthday tote bag,
which we got at the pop-up. That vlog may not be up yet but that is coming, so keep an eye out. But
if not, go check our Instagram for any updates from that. I'm actually out of breath. Why is
this an extreme sport, packing and prepping for the day of work? Like the day of work should be
the extreme sport. But anyway, I've actually got to remember to take my gym kit because
I have yet to participate in our lunch HIIT sessions, which is just amazing that our work
even runs those. And I've actually nominated myself to take a lead on those sessions from
now on. So I need to pack my things. I always make excuses like it's raining. I had to be up
too early. I forgot my stuff. So I'm actually going to probably leave some of my Honor in
my locker. But that seems, you know, not too sure how I fully feel about that yet. I actually need
to be smart and probably already wear my sports bra so it's not too much of a faff and I can
quickly get changed. But I'm just not sure what I'm feeling. Maybe some evergreen. That could be
nice. Also thinking like, can I get away with doing HIIT in my Converse? Probably not. But then I have
to take another pair of trainers, you see. We have to think about these things. We have to be organised
queens, but there is a lot of decision making involved. I do have to admit.
Coming back inside my body for a second, there is no way that I'm never gonna try.
Hello, where you at? Where you been? Tell me everything about you. Go slow, so I can write it
down and become the perfect man for you. What you like, what you don't, you should never be flying
So what have you, what have you, what have you been sitting there and thinking all this time?
What's your mind's eye? I'm gonna be really quiet and not wake the whole house up, hence the lighting
situation as well. Don't want to turn all the lights on, make too much noise. So sorry if I'm whispering, but
I've made the fatal error. I forgot my lunch. I prepped that last night. I'm very late. I'm just
trying to show you, very late. When I got back from the gym, hence why I didn't film. Doesn't look too appetising
right now because it's not got the Nando's Peronais on, but it's basically sausage pesto pasta
with just some lettuce. I'm just making Holly a drink, and I've literally just stumbled across
this in the cupboard. I literally don't have any other breakfast options, so I will have to get
something else on the way, but I'm just going to have this now. I never usually would opt for cereal, but
it's the only thing that we've currently got in other than like cooked breakfast, and obviously I
don't have time for that. So yeah, I'm going to have that, but maybe grab something on the way because
cereal just doesn't fill me up. Like this literally has only 113 calories. That is not breakfast to me
at all. Had to put some blueberries on, so it looks a little less tragic. I can't take this
lighting seriously. It looks like I'm about to tell a ghost story, but as you can see, it's not
even light outside yet. So I'm just about to make my coffee before I head off. I've just had
the little notification saying my train is on time, so that's great. Love that. Don't want to
jinx it though. I've not used my coffee machine for a while just because I've been lazy and not
bought the pods, so I'm very excited to have. I just don't think this is going to fit, so I'm
not awake yet.
Right, it's going to go awfully wrong. I'm going to swap hands. Don't trust myself.
I'm scared. I don't want to get it on my leg.
Oh, she's done it. It actually fits perfectly. Like it's not too full.
I'm not even going to attempt to show you. Oh, let's catch the dress.
Wow, I'm so excited. And she's ready. I feel really out of routine purely because,
so time has just gone 20 past seven. Usually I'm doing this an hour before because I'm getting
like the hour earlier train, but for this, it just so happened that the trains were cheaper
at this time, so I'm getting into the office a little bit later and then staying later,
so it balanced out. But yeah, I just feel really weird because usually I'm doing everything and
I'm just like blinkers on, just get to the train station. Whereas this, I feel like I've been awake
for ages. Don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. At least I'm a bit more awake. Yeah,
I'm going to head off to the train station now and then hopefully I'll get a quiet train and
I can chat to you because that'll be fun. You can keep me guys entertained for the long commute.
It's time to start all over and go for it. Cause they don't even, they don't even know me yet.
But that's something I don't regret. Every night I close my eyes and see when it happened to dreams
baby. What can I do when a million things I'm running through? Million things I can't undo.
I just sleep walk. I just sleep talk. That's all I got. What can I say with a million things?
Please do excuse the state of my egg like features and this angle, but I'm just arriving
into the office now, as you would have seen, made a little pit stop to Starbucks to get my
breakfast part two. Very happy about that. Okay. The traffic's too noisy, but I'll catch you guys
on fire. She has to act like the umpire, dance all around the bonfire.
Hi guys. It's actually a few days since from when I vlogged. You would have seen I got back,
I think just before 10 o'clock and just went straight to bed. I was fully out of it, needed
sleep ASAP. So yeah, sorry I didn't get a chance to end it then, but I thought I'd come on and just
round off the vlog now. Um, really hope you enjoyed gaining a bit more of an insight into
working gal life. I'm still getting very used to it, still finding healthy habits and routines,
but um, yeah, my office days look very different to my work from home days. We're posting a lot
more content on our Instagram with like reels and just sort of any tips and tricks that we find
ourselves and want to share with you guys. So yeah, really hope you're enjoying the new sort
of pillar of content, if you like. Apologies if it was too montage-y. Obviously I am limited to
what I can and can't show you at work. So yeah, like I said, really hope you enjoyed and we will
see you guys in the next one. Bye.
