[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hello.
I've given my office a tiny bit of a spruce up.
Clearly, this is what happens when it can't train.
I go stir crazy.
But the good news is I should be able
go back to the gym within the next week or so.
I've got a physio appointment.
I can't believe it's been almost a month already.
As most of you guys know, I do love
the philosophy of minimalism.
I love not owning more than you need.
And you probably notice there's not
tons of furniture in my office.
However, that rule completely goes out
the window when it comes to plants because I just
love them.
And any opportunity to have more plants around is A OK by me.
My office currently feels like a jungle, and it's so relaxing.
I love doing my client calls.
Sometimes I can just go sit on the cushions on the floor.
And it's just like, ah.
So on this wall I have a bookshelf
with my mirror in the corner.
Hello.
I've got this rug on the floor, which I just
like the natural vibe.
Look, I am aware I have carpet.
But I like the color of this.
And this was originally downstairs.
And I just put it in here.
I'll need to go through this at some point
Because it's got my camera gear in it.
I just need to neaten it up a bit.
It's a little bit messy inside at the moment.
I'm actually going to be swapping desks
with a friend of mine.
He has a smaller desk, and he needs a bigger desk
for some projects that he's doing.
And I have this super wide desk.
And I don't need such a big desk.
And I was like, do you want to swap?
And I don't know why.
I've done it with clothing with friends before,
but I've never done it with furniture.
And it just makes sense.
The desk I've just got two of my big hard drives, my stands,
laptop, the light.
I've got small plants over here.
Some of them were in the hallway previously.
This bookshelf was up there.
There's not going to be crazy, crazy changes
because essentially, it's just a plant room, as you can see.
Now, I have moved the bunny out of here today.
His name is pancake.
So small, a handful of bun.
In case you didn't know, he's Mitch's rabbit.
He normally just sort of wanders around the office
as he pleases.
But he had been transported out today while I do this.
And I may need to enlist the help of Mitchell.
So had these little DIY suspension kit lights.
It just plugs into a normal plug instead
of needing to be installed by an electrician.
So you can pick them up relatively easily.
But I'll leave a link in the description box.
And I just plugged in this E27 bulb.
What I'm actually going to do is put a little hook
on the ceiling.
I feel like my life is held together by 3M hooks,
hashtag not sponsored.
I use that to create a pendant light from there.
Oh, dear, can you reach the roof because I cannot.
Like here?
Yeah.
There?
Yeah.
I've got these cute little [INAUDIBLE] as well.
I don't think these are the legit,
legit ones because there's plastic in here.
And I don't think there's meant to be plastic in here.
So what I'm going to do is add some more twine to this.
You can see it's already wound in.
So I'm just going to extend it so I
can hang them off the ceiling.
I would love to have big plants hanging from the ceiling
everywhere.
But I don't think that's something
I can do until I own my own place because probably
will need to put screws into the roof.
And I don't feel like repairing damage.
So I tried to make sure these were out of line of fire
from the air conditioner.
A string of beans, a string of bananas,
whatever you want to call it, it hardly needs to be watered.
And then these are succulents.
OK, in case you can't tell, I am filming this
all over separate days because it's just easier this way.
So I'm going to do the chest of drawers today.
As far as any office things goes,
it's mostly camera stuff I keep in this drawer.
As you can see, it's gotten a bit messy.
I've got the [INAUDIBLE] and stuff in there.
But sometimes I just throw things back in
when I'm cleaning up rather than put it away neatly
like I should.
Ugh.
When it comes to tidying drawers and things like this,
I just find it easier if you take everything out.
And that way-- sometimes I'm lazy
and don't put lens caps back on things.
So I can find what belongs to what.
Alrighty, draws are done.
So I'll give you guys a little look.
In this top one, I have got my ADD--
I'm shooting on my other camera at the moment, obviously--
two little vlogging cameras, some of my smaller hard drives,
microphone, some lens filters.
I've got some dead cats, this little bird mark, my H4N end
voice recorder, battery grip, lenses.
I've got some more lenses down here, battery charges.
We've got heaps of cables, because that's
the problem with this stuff.
I like having camera gear, but I hate all the cables
and all the fiddly bits.
It's really annoying.
All the cables on the bottom, and then I
stacked this one on top to save some space.
And I've put in some of my batteries and then USB.
All of my GoPro accessories are in here.
These two things have my drone in them.
Oh, look at this [INAUDIBLE]?
I know.
It's massive.
Where is that pot from?
Oh, no.
I love it in here.
It's so calm.
How did you get to this calmness in here?
All that natural stuff.
Yeah, I think.
But it's also just quiet in a way.
Yeah.
I feel like-- is this an area?
Do you know what I mean?
This is my office space.
Half the time I'm like on a call to a client,
like lying on the floor.
Because do talk about coaching and stuff, don't you?
Yeah.
And so I feel like because I have to be chill and help them.
So it's a nice space to do that.
It definitely is.
OK, Mitch just came to drop off some extra little ones.
Relaxing vibes in here.
And now we have a peace lily here.
They don't need too much light, so she
said it should be pretty happy there.
And that's what I was thinking.
God, this feels like a jungle in here now.
If you haven't figured it out by now, my decor style is just--
it's just plants.
That's all I want, really, in my space.
I thought it'd be really cute to have these heart leaf
philodendron.
If you've never owned one before,
they grow really quickly.
And just to sort train them to trail around the desk--
so this is what a more mature one looks like.
Now you may see this in a vlog just gone,
or one that's about to be uploaded.
I don't know which older I'm doing these videos in.
These plants and a few of the other ones
that I have moved up here, they were
downstairs on the buffet near the kitchen table.
But I've actually decided to just put
edible plants down there.
And then I thought I would just move all these up
into my office.
Thanks for hanging out.
