Hello friends today I wanted to take you through my full work from home routine
and share some ways I try to stay productive and get things done during my
computer and tasks heavy days this video is sponsored by Squarespace from
websites and online stores to marketing tools and analytics Squarespace is the
all-in-one platform to build a beautiful online presence and run your business
I'll share more info about how I use Squarespace later in this video I know I
post a lot of blogs where I share my day but usually when I film those vlogs I
try to do more exciting things like bake or run errands because watching someone
set up their laptop all day gets kind of old so this video will give them more
insight on my work from home days and how I get things done to advance my
business and my brand there are also so many benefits to working from home so I
always try to stay grounded and all those work from home luxuries so I can
keep my heart grateful and motivated my day usually starts somewhere between
5:30 to 7 a.m. my husband wakes up around 5:15 so sometimes I'll wake up
with him and make breakfast but some days I'll sleep in a little longer until
around 7 it really just depends on how I'm feeling that day and how much I need
to get done for me mornings are actually when I feel the most productive so I
really try to maximize that time by waking up early one of the first things
I do when I wake up is splash my face with some cold water and I head to the
kitchen to pour myself a nice cold glass of water now that it's summer I've been
keeping a picture of lemon mint water in our fridge and I love to pour a
refreshing glass so I can ensure I'm staying hydrated and I love to do this
first thing in the morning to make sure I get my water in before my coffee and
lemon water actually has so many different health benefits it's a great
source of vitamin C and it's also said to aid digestion so besides being super
delicious I love that it has those additional health benefits
I also left to turn on music as soon as I wake up and I usually opt for worship
music because it always brings me a bit of peace and hope for my day and
sometimes I'll blast it on our speaker but since my husband's been working from
home more often he's usually already working by the time
I'm getting up and making my coffee so I usually opt to throwing my ear pods and
just listen through my headphones so as I'm sipping on my water it's time
to brew a cofee cup of coffee and I have been loving my French press lately and I
always look forward to my morning coffee so I love to prove this and bring it
over to the couch and enjoy some quiet time I spend some time praying reading
having some still moments before I fully start my busy day and I usually do this
for about thirty minutes sometimes a little less sometimes a little more it
really just depends how it goes but I have a whole video on how I spend my
quiet time if you'd like to know all the details so I'll link that in the
description
by this time I'm usually ready for some breakfast as well I'm not someone who
likes to eat breakfast right when I get up though which my husband totally does
that and I don't understand I am just not that hungry right when I wake up so
like said slowly sip on my coffee and then I'll have some breakfast and on
this particular day I made breakfast really early because my husband was
eating early and so I already had my portion of eggs already cooked and ready
to go and I added some fresh avocado to my toast and practice some grapefruit as
well this is one of my favorite breakfasts it's so filling so colorful
and super delicious
after breakfast I make our bed and start getting ready for the day
when I work from home I typically always change out of my pajamas because regular
clothing definitely helps me feel more put together and I usually only do my
hair and makeup when I'm filming videos but it really just depends on what's
going on that day but I usually always opt to change into cute and comfy
dresses or loungewear sets they are my go to work from home uniform so now that
I'm all dressed and ready I like to turn on our essential oil diffuser to create
a pleasant aroma and atmosphere while I work and then I head over to my little
desk area you'll notice that I love to move around throughout the day but I
typically start on my desk area because it's the easiest place to write down my
to-do list and check my notes from the previous day it's just where I have all
my pens and all that good stuff so I start by getting organized and writing
down all that I want to accomplish throughout the day and I'm definitely a
to-do list junkie so I'm trying to make my tasks a bit more intentional because
I'm that kind of person that will put every little thing on the face of the
earth that I want to get done on one to-do list so I'm trying to kind of
prioritize more like I mentioned earlier in this video I'm so thankful and
excited to be partnering with Squarespace because my website has
actually played a huge role in growing my business and my brand I first created
my Squarespace website four years ago in 2016 when I was in college I've had my
site ever since and Squarespace has equipped me with a user-friendly
platform to create a space where I can beautifully and visually share my
thoughts work in my life having a website is such a powerful way to market

I personally have been working on developing and creating some new
products for my magic Jules hair shop and I already have my presets and merch
listed on Squarespace but I also have some stationery coming out super soon so
I've been working on logistics for that and I always have emails to answer
videos to edit and brainstorming to do so that's usually the bulk of what my
desk time consists of
it's really crazy how fast time can go by when I'm sitting here in just editing
and getting stuff done
so now it's time for a little lunch break and I love to keep some already
prepped food in our fridge so I can grab some quickly without cooking a whole
fancy lunch and on this particular day I had some
veggie pesto salad and some hummus with carrots and pita chips I usually will
eat at my desk or at the couch but sometimes I'll put a podcast on or a
youtube video while I eat just kind of decompress and take a breather after
lunch I work out my desk a bit more and then it's time for one of my favorite
daily moments which is iced coffee time if you watch my vlogs you know we've
loved iced coffee time and I typically make a yummy iced coffee around 2:00
p.m. and it's always such a treat today I combined my leftover morning coffee
with some cold brew and a little splash of vanilla draught latte it's so delish
it helps me combat my afternoon slump
I also had some cherries for an afternoon snack and I moved over to our
bar area so I could stand up for a bit while I work after I wrap up my workday
I try to get a little movement in sometimes I'll go for a walk a bike ride
do a full body workout or some yoga and stretches there are so many incredible
youtubers who offer full workout and yoga routines so I love to do those and
it's like I have my own personal trainer whenever I put one of those videos on
the TV I just love it and on this particular day I just did some
stretching because I'm days where I got my desk so much or the couch really my
lower back tends to ache so I try to stretch it out after the workday
after I finished my stretches it's time to cook dinner which is also one of my
favorite times of the day I truly love to cook and it helps me to kind of
decompress after a full day think about how the day went
and it just feels really nice to use my hands to make something delicious and
while I cook I love to listen to music or a podcast I've also been loving
listening to books on tape I'm currently listening to the Harry
Potter books and it's really been it's so much fun
on this night I made a buffalo cauliflower bites in our airfryer and
they were so delicious this was the second time I've made them but they
turned out way better this time so I was really excited and I'll link the recipe
below in case you want to try to make them soon but that's pretty much it for
my work from home routine I really hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope
it provides some inspo if you find yourself working from home as well of
course every day looks different but this is a little peek of how I spend my
day and make the most of it but thank you guys so much for watching I'm
sending you all so much love and can't wait to see you super soon bye
