hello my frens it's nina and we are going outside everyday of this week
now this might seem like a normal thing for a human being to do but
i graduated from college so i don't go outside every single day
and as a person who does youtube pretty much full time
my job doesn't have an office
it doesn't have a place for me to go to
so my office has become my bedroom
and staying indoors for a long period of time is not the best for your mental or physical health
there was actually this one time where i didn't leave the house for an entire week
because i was indoors editing
and working on things
that i actually remember going outside and feeling so shocked
that this was real life
that there was a sun outside
that there was fresh air outside
and so for this video i'm going to force myself to be outside
every single day for an entire week
instead of opting for being inside in the comfort of my home
i'm gonna make myself be productive outside
i'm starting this week off with sunday
and then we're going to go until saturday
today is pretty much going to be a work day
i know being inside a starbucks is not really being outside
but my definition of outside is outside of my home
but for now i'm going to starbucks
it is 11:30 am
so let's have a productive day
i've got my reusable cup and straw
i lowkey feel like a college student again
i have my backpack
i haven't used this backpack since college
because i have no reason for a backpack anymore
let's have a good day outside
so i have arrived
hopefully there's a seat for me because i desperately need this wifi
my video's so long
if i go home it's gonna be four hours to upload
i'm gonna go in
i did manage to get a corner seat
i got an iced americano
the video's going to take one hour and 20 minutes to upload
i'm gonna be here for a while
let's get stuff done
y'all i'm so tired omg
i was in starbucks for idk how long
i think it was 6 hours that i was in there
i feel like i definitely got more stuff done because i was outside
had i been at home i feel like i could've been distracted
i am kinda shaky though because i didn't eat a lot
i just had a pumpkin loaf
and i also had an americano so i am very shaky
and full of sugar
i don't really wanna eat outside because there's food at home
so i think i'm just gonna go home
the video is uploaded
writing captions for a 33 minute video was too much
but it's done
i think i wanna go to a park and get some fresh air before i go back inside
the lovely outdoors
it definitely feels nice to be outdoors
it's a little chilly
but i'm enjoying this time
i'm just enjoying a walk around the park
getting my blood flowing
i wish there was a hill i could go to to see the sunset better
but this is good enough
as long as i can see the sky i think that's all i need
ok
well that is it for sunday
it is currently 6:40 pm
i am going to go home
tomorrow i have plans with my friends
and it's going to be just a fun day with my friends
actually i do have a phone call in the morning
but that's only for 30 minutes
then after that i could just have a good wholesome time with my friends
getting fresh air really helps
just meditating outside for a bit also helps
you feel less trapped and it's a good way to clear your head a little bit
but that is going to be it for today
i will see you tomorrow
good morning
i am in a bit of a rush because i have to leave in 15 minutes
i have to do my makeup really fast then i'll be on my way
okay so i'm finally outside of my house
i am a little late
i thought i would get out earlier than this
the phone call took longer than i expected
i am going to drive to my friend's house
and we are going to have a day together
i'm beating!!
they're a little burnt but let's see
ooh look at the inside
ooooh
so nice
they look gorgeous
this is round two for the madeleines
this is the other recipe with the lemon
boing boing boing
i have finally arrived home
today was a day out with my friends
since it is with my friends i literally spend quality time with them and i don't film everything
but we had lunch, we baked
we'll see how tomorrow goes but
today was a good day
the madeleines turned out decent
the first batch, we kinda burned it
but it was still edible
it was just very caramelized
and then we have one very poofy madeleine here
i came home at 6 pm
that is going to be it for monday
i will see you tomorrow
hello my frens good almost-noon
it's 11:17 am
so today's plan is to go to the local library
today is an editing day
and usually i do my editing at home
because i'm sitting for many hours
you can be in a library for many hours
there's plug outlets, there's wifi
it's indoors
today is almost 100 degrees
it is so hot
i loved spending time at libraries since middle school
it was one of my favorite places to go to
when i was in college i always went to the library
and now that i'm not in college i dont have access to uc berkeley's libraries
or maybe i do
i probably do
but berkeley's really far from me
it closes at 5 pm
so i have about 5 hours to edit
i know i might not finish editing all today but that's okay
today's kinda an indoor but also outdoors day
i'm gonna pack my bag
and just like i planned it is 11:27 am
i am leaving at 11:30 am
we are kinda on time
i wish i left a little earlier but
i have an entire morning routine and
it takes a long time so
better late than never
let's go be productive outside
this is the fit
my dirty mirror
let's go
i have arrived to the library
i don't know how big this library is
i hope it's big
idk i'm excited i love libraries
let's get stuff done
i forgot where i parked my car
it is actually 3 pm
i didn't end up staying at the library until 5 pm
but i got a decent amount of editing done
my butt started to kinda hurt bc i was on a wooden chair
i was also starting to get hungry
and i know for this video i should be challenging myself to do stuff i'm not comfortable with
but i don't like eating in libraries
especially because that library didn't have a cafe
or really anywhere to kinda eat
eating in a library just reminds me of college
so i just decided i'm just gonna go home
but i got 3 hours worth of editing done
i'm gonna do the rest at home
i will just see you guys tomorrow
so i didn't end up going outside today
just because i was up literally all night doing something
and i didn't sleep til 6 am
that was the first time in many years that i've done that
never doing it again
but because of that i woke up at 11 am
it was already really late
and i have to continue editing so i thought
it's just better for me to edit at home
i put on makeup though because my friend tagged me in something on instagram
i wanted to look a little put together
this whole going outside thing
the introvert is really jumping out
it actually feels nice to be able to relax today
editing's gonna take all day today
and i think i'm going to upload tomorrow
so thursday
i always say i wanna upload sundays and sometimes wednesdays
but it's becoming sundays and sometimes thursdays
i'll figure out my schedule soon
sometimes you gotta take care of yourself
and i think being indoors is okay today
i will just see you guys tomorrow
good noon my friends
it is currently 12:06 pm
today is an outdoor day
i am going to a different starbucks
hopefully i will upload this video as soon as possible
i brought my own coffee
this is an iced americano
i just have a lot of coffee at home
i didn't really feel like spending money on espresso since i have my own
hopefully no one notices
i have it in a 16 oz mason jar
and it has this little lid
i really like this lid it doesn't leak at all
so i have my own iced americano
i also brought my own snacks
hopefully i can get by without buying anything
but we are going to be on our way
and we're going to be productive
my car is burning hot
i didn't put on the air conditioning yet
i will see you there
ok
so it is currently 2:30 pm
i uploaded my video
i still have to write captions but i think i'm going to do that at home
just because i do have to go home anyway
to change my clothes
because i'm planning to take some instagram pictures
i haven't posted on instagram in a very long time
and so i wanna get some cute pictures
but anywho i'm gonna go home
and try to get this video up in the next 3 hours
let's do this
the video is finally up
it is 5:30 pm
i just finished captions
i'm going to change out of this cute comfortable outfit
and go for something a little opposite of this
i will see you in the next clip
so this is my outfit
it's all black
i am all done with pictures
i love taking pictures during golden hour
time to go home
this is the end of thursday, i will see you tomorrow
good morning my friends it is 9:53 am
my friends are coming to pick me up at 10:30ish
i have not put on my makeup yet
we're gonna get brunch and just hang out
until 2 or 3 pm before they go home
i think after i hang out with my friends i'm just going to
call it a day and just edit
i need to work on this video
because i'm gonna upload it on my regular sunday
but yea let's get some makeup on
this is the fit
my favorite mom jeans, a belt
a tied up shirt
this nice cardigan from yesstyle
and then i have my hair up in this little bun
and then i have my tote bag full of stuff
let's go
the lighting is very strong but i got my makeup on
now i am waiting for my friends, i am actually on time for once
i'm hungry
my friends are finally here, let's go!
dude!
we saw this after we made our purchase nooo
i already have a tata pillow but this is the one without feet and hands
aw that's cute too
nooo
you should buy it
so sad, oh koya looks so cute
she got a pumpkin
or she's getting a pumpkin
enjoying a nice walk outside
i feel like i've gotten to old for swings
i actually start to feel dizziness when i swing
like i feel that numbness in my stomach
this is nice tho
skip for me!!

i'M KIDDING
OMG

why would i not??
this is sophia i should've expected that she was going to do that

bye bye
byebyebyebyebye
so i'm back home, it is 4 pm
i am exhausted we did a lot
but it was a fun time
but that's gonna conclude today
i have no idea what i'm doing tomorrow
maybe i could get a flu shot and run some errands
that is it for friday
i will see you tomorrow for our last day
hello my frens
today is saturday and as you can see
i didn't go outside today
i kinda played myself by having my upload day be on sunday
which is the weekend
i've uploaded on sunday for literally years
probably since the beginning of my time on youtube
but thinking about working outside on saturdays
i didn't take into account that the cafe that i wanted to visit today opened really late
and for my flu shot i'm going on monday
because it just makes more sense to go on a weekday
today i was actually up since 7 am
but there was just a lot of admin stuff
and editing and things i had to take care of
that realistically, trying to go out wasn't really a viable option
i really just needed to sit at my desk and get things done as soon as possible
so this is the reality of my work life at home
i am actually 3/4 of the way done with editing this video that you're watching right now
i just have to edit friday and today
i didn't have footage for saturday which is why i'm filming right now
but i think i am going to just conclude this video
with observations that i had throughout this week
this has been a really long week
and i didn't realize
there was a lot of footage that i actually had to go through
and even working entirely at home today
now i realize again
that i actually do enjoy working outside
even if i say it's not as comfortable as being at home
or i'd rather be at home
now that i'm actually at home
and i spent literally all day editing
and taking care of things
now i'm like, i wish i was outside
i feel like when i was outside at a cafe
i was only focused on getting work done
so i could leave the cafe and then go home
once i'm home, this is all i'm doing all day
so i'm here at 6 pm
still editing and i don't know when i'm going to shut off
i have a lot of content creator friends who also experience the same thing i do
most of us work from home
or wherever we are
and they also kinda struggle to find a balance between work and home
because eventually your entire home can become work
and you don't know when to take a break
you don't know when to stop working and relax
i'm still trying to find that balance but luckily
this is a job that i love to do
and i'm grateful to be doing
but when you are being stationary
and sitting at a desk for a very long time
not just my job
but anyone who has an office job, a desk job
basically a big majority of society these days
it's about finding the balance between work and having a life
moving your body and taking care of your health
i think from now on though i will try to
push myself to work outside when i'm feeling
overwhelmed or tired or a little stuffy
or i just need some fresh air or i need a change in routine
but this has been a good week
and it actually feels like it's been a long busy week
it didn't feel like i just passively went through this week
i have productive days and weeks
but some of those days aren't fully outside
it's mostly me at my desk just working away
so it was nice to push myself to be outside and
see the world a little bit
that is going to be it for this video
i hope you enjoyed it
remember to get fresh air
take care of yourself
change your routine
and i will see you next time
goodbye my frens :)
