A PRODUCTIVE DAY IN MY LIFE! (Brand Event in Boston, Work, Fitness, Vacation Prep, Friends, & more!)

Happy single-step buy-out! I went to the eye doctors last night and I got new contact lenses with like a new prescription And i'm actually really excited to use them But I will say I bought an annual supply of new contacts with this new prescription Why was it $600? If you guys know a cheaper way to get contacts, it'll be like $500 with the rebate But like I wanted to buy a cute workout set from the liaison drop today But i'm not gonna be able to do that now. They really do not spare you on with these They don't even give you enough for three days My doctor gave me these i'm just like upset that I have to pay that much money to see that's so rude Yeah, these are crisp though My bonnet has been saving my life also this mej hair clip hate to say it, but this thing works My mother has instilled this habit in me to really just love air-dried bedding Fit check kizik blue lemon gym shark mej and warby parker I'm quickly gonna sit down to talk about these glasses because these are truly the star of the show if you guys didn't know warby parker just came out with a sports collection and It's incredible. These are the cliff frame in jet black These are amazing for any kind of movement walks runs hikes fishing golfing whatever you want But also they fit into my everyday so seamlessly like I could wear these running errands just sitting by a pool We're simply just sitting outside and doing work or reading and what is so cool about these is that these are italian made nylon frames so they're super lightweight and flexible on my face and I can feel that when I put them on and start moving around that they're Meant to stay put also one of my favorite things about warby parker is for every pair of warby parker glasses purchased Somebody in need receives vision care and I was just complaining this morning about how expensive my contact lenses were But in all realness, I am so blessed and it is such a privilege for me to be able to buy contact lenses for myself And it's important to remember that that is not a reality for everybody So on top of being able to get some sunnies and look and feel like a baddie You're able to help someone in need which is just such a feel-good experience So you guys can shop the entire warby parker collection Including this new sport collection using this qr code on the screen or the link in my description box I'm, actually so hyped to go on this run. I have been waiting for a beautiful day like this to get outside and move my body Yeah this eats I'm, just kidding. I don't actually run like that. Would you guys still be friends with me if I did? I am back from my run. I ran one mile and then I walked the rest I just got an amazon package with this bag hook. This thing was so expensive though So if it doesn't work, it's getting returned I love my coachwork from back my nana and my papa got this for me for christmas and my birthday But the thing is is like a strap doesn't bend comfortably So when i'm sitting if there's no like hook to hang it off of on the back of my chair And sometimes I get worried about that because I don't want people like reaching into my bag I need one of these this is supposed to be able to hold 50 pounds. Oh, it's magnetic For the sake of science i'm coming downstairs to try this that doesn't look like it's gonna stay to me I guess that does work and we have granite countertops. So they're a bit slippery Oh, yeah It's pretty solid. Okay. The thing is though if there's like these kinds of tables, I can't hang it off of it But that works well pretty sturdy. I ordered a ten dollar one and i'm gonna compare i'm about to hop in the shower But I wanted to show you a little outfit that I picked out. I just got in these sweats from studio 7 These are their georgia joggers and I just got them hemmed So now they're officially wearable and i'm gonna wear it with this light blue skims tank because of the blue So cute so cute hop in the shower. Oh my gosh. I forgot I had my sunglasses on you're just so light Outfit of the day I feel so cute. It's just so comfy and like so me the butter yellow and the blue I love how these match and then if you know me, you know, I had to match the socks These are the closest ones I could find and i'm not even saying this to be dramatic But when I start my day out with movement, my day is always just a million times better something probably with like the endorphins and stuff Let's chat about what we have to do today because it's kind of a lot and it sounds so silly because i'm like Ah vacation prep vacation prep. Ooh event in boston event in boston, but like i'm overwhelmed Okay tomorrow evening in less than 48 hours. I am leaving for france and I cannot wait I'm going to paris and nice with a group of girls a handful of them are from massachusetts Some of them are from the west coast midwest like all over the place, but we're all meeting up and we're doing this through tour Hero, so i'm super excited I've never done something like this before but I think this trip found me at the perfect time in my life last year when I signed up for it when I was just Going through it and I was like, oh my gosh, I don't know what i'm doing. I want to do something fun I feel like I have no friends over here. I want to meet new people. I want to travel. This is perfect We're leaving for that tomorrow evening Some of the girls are already in europe and i'm flying over with a few of the girls One of them's flying in from ohio another one lives in boston, and we're just all flying out of logan I've never been to paris I've been to france once but it doesn't even count because it was like I missed three layovers in a row And just happened to land in paris for like six hours and I spent those six hours sleeping because we were there at like I think 11 p.m. This is my first big trip of the year I know I kind of told you guys a bit about the travel that i'm doing in my florida vlog But i'm genuinely so excited and if you guys know me, you know that I like to go all out for these trips I didn't just drop all this money to go on this beautiful trip to not look good and feel good So today we're gonna be doing a lot of just like vacation prep stuff. I need to do my nails today My nails have been so fog i'm not even gonna lie like they have been so ugly since florida because They normally last for like a month and they take me a very long time So i'm like I don't want to do them just for them to be Half grown out but still have a couple more weeks in them but not look as good as they could look by the time I go to france if that makes sense So I kept just like pushing it off and now we're finally gonna do the nails for france last week I got invited to this ibm event that's happening in boston this evening. I'm super excited and Grateful that I got invited to that I feel like especially with the kids that I went to school with in college IBM was always being talked about and i'm just really excited and grateful. So let's quickly go downstairs We're gonna have a bite to eat for breakfast and then we're gonna come up here lock in do my nails Then I have a bunch of work that I need to do for groove because technically since it's a startup I don't want like I don't want to take pto. I don't even think pto exists groove is a startup So I don't even feel comfortable like asking about pto instead I'm, just going to get a bunch of my work done for groove for the next two weeks today So I can have it locked and loaded with that call and then i'm going to boston the ibm event I'm gonna meet up with addy after the event We're gonna go get scoops and scootery catch up a bit because she's also leaving to go back home to the west coast Until further notice at the end of this month So i'm feel like i'm just kind of balancing a lot of things of wanting to Make the most out of every single moment that I get with her over here try to say yes to opportunities and put myself outside of my comfort zone and All of that, but this is all good stress. This is all healthy happy stress filled with gratitude So I don't want that to be interpreted as me being like complaining about this life because i'm very grateful for it Let's go downstairs and eat and then we'll be back up here for a few hours My roman empire, why is it frozen? I don't know. Thank you. Julia, but Mama, I do this for you every day Why are you sad? Why are you sad? I love you Got our matcha we're watching tate right now. Whoops. That's why all my water bottles are dented It is 10 12 i'm gonna lock in and do these nails and i'll see you guys when i'm done we're getting there We got the tips on we got the tips painted with the base I just need to put the french tips on but in approximately nine minutes tickets are going on sale for olivia Rodrigo and my friend ryan was gracious enough to send me his amex So we're able to do the pre-sale But i'm still scared that we're going to be like fighting for our lives because it's olivia rodrigo So my sister and I are about to go at the ticket master war in nine minutes Please let there be a somewhat affordable good seat available. I doubt that though i'm Honestly annoyed at how expensive concerts are like I wanted to go see bruno mars so bad But I just can't spend 600 for a nosebleed. I'm, sorry. I'll just watch the live stream at home Oh my gosh 3 000 that is the best i've ever done. Why am I shaking right now? What do you mean enter the password? Damn these are expensive Okay, thank you Oh, we got it. Thank you. I will vendor you right now. You're the best. Thank you. Appreciate you so much Okay Another concert in the book Oh, okay. Welcome back. I finally finished my nails that takes a lot out of me I'm, not gonna lie like I do enjoy doing my nails But I think i'm wearing a bit thin with the amount of time that it takes. But anyways, we are back It is one o'clock. I had to keep stopping in between like answer work texts by olivia rodrigo tickets and like answer emails So anyways what I have to do right now though is i'm doing a partnership with meta ai on my instagram And I just sent them over the content for approval, but they're requesting a caption and cover photos So I want to get that over to them as soon as possible i'm doing so many exciting partnerships But i'm trying to get them all completed and approved before I leave for my trip So i'm not like worrying about reshooting or editing or doing all this other stuff while i'm away So it's been a grind i'm gonna do that Right now I need to take Three big breaths regulate my nervous system because for some reason every time I get a notification my phone It's an email. I like my cortisol spikes and it's just not good It's not a good habit to be in go to my instagram at underscore julia Bedell and comment on that video if it came from my youtube channel So I know that you're a real one by the time this video rolls out this partnership with meta Ai will definitely be out. This is what 98 of my workday looks like though It's just sitting on my laptop and clicking on it I have like an idea of what I want to wear tonight to the ibm event I feel like this is my little taste of corporate america and feeling like I can dress business casual So I have two pant options. I know that I want to wear just simple black dress pants So we have these low rise pants from motel rocks or we have these sailor pants that I thrifted with my aunt Which are super cool, but like there's a million buttons So like if you're having a bathroom emergency These are not the pants you want to reach for and then I have this white top which I just got from beginning boutique Which is kind of like that reformation dupe top So I feel like this will look super classy and cool two shoe options both from steve madden Of course, we have these heeled ballet flats or we have these black heels depending on how much I want my feet to just like Dye tonight. We'll see. I gotta just like see the vibe. I got a few more depop orders I already have a bag here that i'm gonna ship out when I leave But I need to pack a few more orders If you guys are up to date with my socials, you would have known that I did a flash sale on my depop So everything was under five dollars and it has been flying We already have this whole bag. Someone bought these three baby tees from pollister Someone else just bought this pepper mayo talk for five bucks everything in that pile back there is five dollars So snag it while you can Two more packages my depop is linked in my description if you guys want to snag anything got one full bag Mom got all of her flowers for her garden everyone comment down below and tell mom her garden looks really nice I'm gonna go get my sunnies to eat I just did some work. I'm now in my bedroom getting ready for this event I think for the first time in my life, I nailed it on the first try I didn't have to change my outfit like 52 times I am a little worried though because this is like a very white top and I really would rather not spill makeup all over it While I do this really quick get ready with me I wanted to use this time to talk about how embarrassment is literally a choice And I never fully leaned into this or believe this until recently as we may or may not know I have done social media for the past 10 years of my life And I would be sitting here and totally lying if I said that social media didn't come with a certain stigma when you're in the beginning and you're pursuing it a lot of people are gonna make Fun of you and be like, oh, what is she doing? Like she's trying so hard and then the second that you make it they'll be like, oh my god I knew her that is how social media is in a nutshell and I see it happen with so many people Honestly, it didn't really happen with me Maybe I don't know actually because I like to just ignore what I don't know As in like if people are gonna choose to talk behind my back I'm, just not gonna give it any mental space or energy to even imagine what they're saying because i'm sure there are some heinous things Being said about me, but that's okay not meant for my ears But as I was saying i'm gonna just use my social media as an example But this genuinely goes for anything in life being embarrassed is fully a choice Thankfully, I started my social media when I was a lot younger and I didn't tell anyone so no one could like discourage me From wanting to pursue it and then I kind of got over that uncomfortable hump of having like no subscribers or no followers Which is like from someone in my position and i'm not even saying that i'm a big creator But I am never going to sit back and judge someone for pursuing social media like never because I know What it took for me to get here and I know exactly what it feels like to be starting out and who cares? That's my other thing. I'm like, why should anyone care what i'm doing with my life? If it's not negatively impacting you or anyone else like actually what is it to you? You're just bored at that point but growing up doing social media and slowly telling more and more people I know that it comes with a stigma like i'm not stupid I know that a lot of people like to generalize and say social media is so easy Y'all don't work. Your life is on easy mode. Is that not the goal? Wait, am I crazy? Am I crazy because honestly my goal in life is to Do what makes me happy and be able to make enough money to live a comfortable life not work myself to death work 20 hours of the day like if I can get there in a quote-unquote easier or lazier way Okay, i'm gonna do it and if you're not I question your rationale there I'm at the point now where I genuinely do not care what people have to say about social media or how they perceive me Or the industry I know I put a lot of my life out on the internet by choice and by doing that i'm Opening myself up to the perception of everyone just looking at me judging me taking their own spin on it But if I sat back and constantly was thinking, oh, what is this person gonna say? What is this person gonna think if I post this i'm never gonna get anywhere if you're gonna pursue social media You need to get really good at detaching yourself and your personal identity from your social media presence Oops, your social media presence can be so close to your real person and entity But the second that you start overthinking all of your content spinning it to think what are people gonna think of this? How are they gonna perceive it those thoughts in your head are going to prevent you from posting anything That's ever going to succeed because it's going to prevent you from stepping outside of your comfort zone And that's what results in success on social media Alex earl didn't just get famous off of doing little surface layer get ready with these One of the main reasons why she got so famous is because she shared her skin. She shared the imperfection She shared all the messy parts of her life, which made her so relatable and lovable You can either choose to be embarrassed and let all these things bother you and let all these like intrusive thoughts win and prevent you from following your dreams and accomplishing your dream life or You can just say you know what if people are gonna talk let them talk. I tell myself that all the time What is it to me genuinely? What is it to me if people want to talk it actually doesn't change my life at all The only way it would change and negatively impact my life is if I let it so especially this year this has been the year where i've really just been trying to put my ego aside not choose to be embarrassed over every little thing And also go after the things that I want as you guys know when the applications close tomorrow So by the time you guys are watching this applications have been closed for a bit now I created that liaison ugc trip video application and to be honest, I spent so much time on that I think last year's me would have been really embarrassed to admit that I probably wouldn't have and I Probably wouldn't have posted the video to begin with because I would have been too embarrassed With the idea of me not getting to go on the trip and me putting in all of this effort and shooting my shot But why the worst thing that is going to happen is it's not going to work and then what? You live the world keeps turning and so what but if you shoot your shot and it works You just got something that you wanted. So it's literally like buying a lottery ticket You have nothing to lose besides your own ego put your ego aside the second that I did that everything started clicking for me and i'm not saying I have everything figured out because I Do not that is something i'm very certain about and this doesn't just apply to social media This literally applies to everything in life apply to your reach school Do something that you're scared to do and honestly if it makes you feel better do it and don't tell anyone No one has to know except for you I think the second that you start, you know Have a loose lips and start telling everyone things is when if you're already like teetering on the edge of doing it or not And you're feeling kind of insecure about it That's going to be the tipping point that makes you not do it for example When I was getting my driver's license I didn't tell a single soul that I was taking that test because by the chance that I didn't get it I didn't want to come back to them and tell them that I failed it and that's okay. That is okay Don't let other people's perceptions and opinions and ideas of you get in the way If I let all those people's opinions bother me, I wouldn't have a driver's license right now I would not so do it in silence do it loudly do it However, you want but just don't change what you're going to do with your life or want to do with your life Because of someone else because I say this all the time But you're the only person who has to live your life So why would you live a life that you don't actually want to live or a life that you're not pursuing what you want? To get why would you do that to yourself? Like that actually just sounds like a punishment Anyways, thanks for listening to my ted talk on a completely separate note. My makeup is not eating today I'm, looking kind of sweating too It is 3 13. I'm gonna leave for boston very soon and you're probably thinking yourself julia Why do you need like almost two hours to get into boston? Maybe because i'm gonna miss at least three exits on my way in and then i'm not gonna be able to find parking so i'm just trying to Avoid yet another situation where my cortisol is gonna spike I am definitely feeling a bit stressed about the amount of work that I have to do and all the packing that I have not Started I am in for a very eventful next 24 hours of your life. This is my outfit I feel really cute and classy. This is honestly what I would wear if I was working corporate So I feel like i'm role-playing a corporate baddie today. I have my little heel flats on these things are genuinely like the best Discovery of my life. They give you that heel without being uncomfortable and they're cute and dainty and classy Like it is so hard to find a shoe that checks off all those boxes I got them from steve madden. You can find them on my shop my under my shoe shelf I have them linked there because they are worth every single penny I'm, definitely gonna bring these to france got my warby parker shades for the road because it's gonna be very sunny and hot I'm, probably gonna want to roll the windows down. My mom gave me this little burberry bag to carry it Oh, I feel like a baddie. Okay, let's roll these sunnies on listen to beautiful mistakes by maroon 5 68 times and then by then We'll be in boston I just shipped out all those depot packages and I got to the auditorium early, which I love I love being able to just sit here unwind not like be so stressed out racing in there Missing exits almost hitting cars stuck in traffic. It's just not worth it So I found this perfect two-hour parking spot, which is gonna roll over to 6 p.m So I can actually just leave my car here and not have to worry about it I'm, genuinely questioning my intellect right now the amount of exits that i've missed is insane I knew it was too good to be true when I came in here didn't miss a single exit found parking super easily Yeah, it was over for me the second that that happened because I just added 30 minutes Onto my home eta because I probably just missed about 10 exits in a row And if you live in boston or from boston, you are familiar with this But there is one highway that goes east and west and if you accidentally get on the wrong highway You can't get off of it from multiple multiple miles. So you are adding like tens of 20s of minutes Onto your eta and it's so annoying. I accidentally got into the westbound one instead of like just getting off and going north Added so much time And then I missed another exit and then my maps froze up in the tunnel and then I was going south again So I think i've driven on the same road probably about 50 times at this point I need to like lock in because i'm in the tunnel again. I just need to read like Use some critical thinking skills for once ibm event was really fun. I got to hear a lot of really cool things It was very linkedin focused They had a lot of people from the linkedin team there to speak and I learned a lot of really interesting things I think a lot of people are sleeping on linkedin including myself. Maybe this sounds bad But my favorite part of the night was when we got to go eat after and it was open bar open menu Whatever we wanted. It was so nice. It was this like michelin star asian restaurant in cambridge I need to go back immediately the purple yam buns So good and then I went to scoop in scootery with addy we got a red velvet froyo It was really freaking good the last time I went to scoop and scooter They didn't have frozen yogurt or I just didn't know that it existed because I think the froyo cups Are so much better than the regular ones because the regular ones are just too rich for me Because the whole point of scoop and scooter is they're like stuffed ice creams So there are like cookie dough cookie batter whipped cream cookie crumbles sprinkles oreo cookies m&m's like that is like one ice cream So I definitely Appreciated the lighter vibe of the froyo. I gotta catch up with addy. I need to go home And start freaking packing getting my life together and doing my work. I just feel like a hot mess I feel like i'm trying to do a million things at once and I think i'm realizing i'm a little bit spread thin Because i'm in this era of my life where i'm like trying not to say no to anything because i'm just like oh my gosh I'm 23 like life is such a blessing. I have so many beautiful opportunities Why would I ever say no and i'm just trying to make everything work all the time? Okay, dude This guy is probably going 100. Oh, oh my gosh. He's gonna get in an accident Sorry, as I was saying i'm in this era of my life where i'm just trying to say yes to everything and make everything work And do everything and experience all the things I am proud of myself for saying yes, but Girl with that said I am very excited for the day When I can just be settled in with my family married kids Have cozy nights in like i'm excited for that I really am and that's not to say that i'm not enjoying this era of my life that i'm in right now But I am excited to have that one day because I think at the end of the day, I think I am a homebody but I would like to be home with people If you know what i'm saying, okay, this is just turning into a yap sesh I really hope you guys enjoyed today's productive day in the life It was so much fun being able to hang out with you guys You guys know the drill make sure to like comment and subscribe And if you watch the video up until this point comment down below an ice cream emoji in honor of addy and I going to scoop And scootery, I will throw all of my socials up on the screen right here. Oh my god. Are you freaking serious? Everyone's driving like idiots. Everyone's driving like idiots Deep breaths i'm just so annoyed because I was supposed to be home like 30 minutes earlier than I am But your girl just couldn't seem to make an exit for the life of her So I found myself over in newton at one point. That's like way out west Thank you so much for hanging out with me and make sure to stay tuned on my channel because i'm going to be vlogging all Of france we're going to be doing a full paris vlog and a full nice vlog It's gonna be lit once I get home.
