Hello, everyone! Welcome back to my youtube channel.
Tonight I'm going to take you through a typical night in our New York City life. Right Mike?
Michael: Yup.
I've been wanting to make a video like this for a while now and I have to say thank you to
Green Roads for sponsoring this video and making that possible... but more on that later.
For now, we haven't even eaten dinner yet...
so the evening is just starting. It's about 6:09 p.m.
OH! Before I start, I want to say something. Let me put this down...
What I wanted to say before I started this video is that I've now done a few
different videos that are... you know, "my morning routine", "my nighttime routine"...
And what I just wanted to let you know is that this video is not going to be set
up the way those videos are. So in case you didn't know... maybe I'm bursting your
YouTube bubble... but normally when people do "my morning routine" or "my evening
routine" videos, they are staged. And pretty much any time I shot one of those
videos I was shooting with a camera operator during the day. So I would
pretend it was my morning routine and I would film exactly what I do
but it would be me staging it in the middle of the day. (You caught me...) And same
with an evening routine. I wouldn't have a videographer in my apartment at 9:00
p.m. I would just be showing you what I typically do at that hour. This video, I
want it to be different. So I'm not staging ANYTHING. I'm not bringing a
videographer along. It's just me and my camera. I just want you to feel like
you're here in our apartment with us as we get ready for the evening.
Michael: Welcome.
Lucie: Say it again?
Michael: WELCOME!
Lucie: Michael said welcome, and you know, in fact let's start here. He's doing
laundry, so I'm just gonna take you in. Hey Mike.
Michael: Hey.
Lucie: How's it going?
Michael: Great, how are you?
Lucie: What are you doing?
Michael: Hey everyone, thanks for coming back to my channel. I really appreciate it. Good to see you again.
I'm putting the laundry away.
Lucie: He's putting the laundry away. We recently
stopped doing our own laundry and we decided to send it out for wash and fold
which is THE BEST decision we've ever made as a couple and a team. Just to
orient you in the evening: As I mentioned it's 6:09 p.m. We're at our apartment.
I just came home from a full working day at the WeWork down the block from here...
and Michael just came home from a full day at his summer internship because
he's in Business School. Normally when I get home
Michael's actually not usually home at this time, so it was a pleasant surprise
to see him in the apartment. I thought I would be home at least an hour or so
before him... but he's here! So we're getting started with the night. He said
he got food for himself to eat, and I actually made some batch food over the
weekend that I'm gonna eat for dinner. Alright,
opening the fridge! I grilled some summer vegetables last night... I have onions...
Wait, this is horrible lighting! I made some onions... looking good, looking good...
This is asparagus and eggplant... These are the asparagus and these are the
eggplants... Roasted peppers of all different colors, as well as some squash
and zucchini... This is probably my favorite. And then I usually have some
brown rice saved up for dinner and/or quinoa... but I'm running out of the quinoa
because I had it for breakfast today. So when I have meals like this I typically
just roast up a bunch of vegetables and then I choose if I want a base of a
quinoa or a brown rice or something like that, and then I try to add on a protein
on top. Whether it's chicken or some sort of fish, or, I don't know, tofu... that's how
I've been having dinner lately. I've been buying a whole bunch of vegetables in
bulk, and I have been roasting up all the vegetables at once and saving them in
glass Tupperware and then using them throughout the week. Alright, are we
done with the laundry yet? Michael's cooking some quinoa... and I'm eating some salami.
mmm... Love a man in the kitchen. So before when I said Michael got dinner
I thought he bought food, such as... you know... Chipotle or Dig Inn or... what else
would you eat?
Michael: I don't know. But why would you ever think I would do that?
Lucie: Something like that... But it turns out he meant he bought ingredients to cook food. So he's cooking
up spinach, he's got some veggies chopped up... he's got garlic and oil going in the
pan... and he's making us both a big pot of quinoa. ooh let me fix that
and by quinoa, I mean quinoa. We're doing great.
Welcome to our humble abode. Here's the bowl I went with... I got some black beans,
some squash and zucchini, eggplant, asparagus, onion... and there are some
peppers down there... and I'm gonna put quinoa over the whole thing.
I just found something creepy on the ceiling... and I don't like it one bit.
He got it! What is it?
Oh it's hot. Whoa! Oh yeah. Dinner is served!
Michael: Dinner... Is served.
Lucie: OW! Can you take it for me? You okay?
Michael: I'm great.
Lucie: We've decided to eat on the couch
tonight because we're just in the midst of Silicon Valley... or as I call it
Silicone Valley... It's Silicon, right?
We're done with dinner. Michael has to get a
haircut... I'm just quickly gonna use this dental lace, and floss... and then accompany
him to his haircut. Ah, it broke!
Alright, you going in?
Michael: Going in.
Lucie: Let me see your hair before...
Looks like a unicorn threw up.
This is Sicilian slice for $2... but you can get a regular slice for $1...
Let's go spy on Michael while he gets his hair cut.
I think he's done. Here he comes! Oh yeah, look at that. Nice!
I just have a couple questions for you.
Michael: Sure.
Lucie: What's your favorite part about
living in Manhattan?
Michael: Living here with you.
Lucie: Thank you! Okay, second question: What is
it like to actually be living with Lucie?
Michael: It's great. It's kind of similar to what
it seems like in the videos... You're a great person to live with. A lot of fun. We
have a lot of adventures. And... yeah. We can both be homebodies at times, so it's
really nice to have someone like that.
Lucie: Nice! Okay, so we're going to get ice
cream. Recently I've been trying to get ice cream in a cone so that I can reduce
my impact on the environment... what with the cups and the plastic
spoons... But sometimes I'm just not in the mood for a cone and I like it
out of a cup, which is why we brought these. A couple of my favorite things
about New York... That bus. Sightseeing tours go by... actually, one time I was
spotted by a fan on one of those buses, and she screamed my name and waved and
it was one of the best moments of my life. And one of my other favorite things
about this city is the view down Sixth Avenue. You look all the way down, you can
see the Freedom Tower, and it's so beautiful. Such a great sight. And how
many other cities do you get to look at the Freedom Tower in? Zero. There's our shadows! That's
someone else. That's someone else, not us. That's Michael, that's me. Wonder what
that looked like. We kissed. Why is it that there are so many taxis when you don't need them, and none when you need 'em?
Can I please have blueberries, um, strawberries, dark chocolate chips... that's all.
We got our ice cream, but we've decided to take it to go because we
still have stuff we have to do at home. Michael has a little bit of work to
do, and I want to do a little bit of my arm workout that I've been doing
recently... so we're gonna do that first. We're gonna eat our ice cream after that
and we're gonna put it in the freezer for now. We're gonna work for it. Just wanted to show you the flatiron building. So beautiful.
It's flat. Which is why they call it the Flatiron. Before we get home, I just have one more
question because I'm sure all these people are curious about it. Living in
New York and whatnot... How do you feel about rats on the street?
Michael: Not too good.
It's definitely the worst part of living here.
Lucie: That's the worst part of living in
New York City. You heard it from Michael.
Michael: We had one of our most ridiculous moments actually, right here.
Not with rats, I think they were mice.
Lucie: We saw three of four very small mice, and Michael freaked out. He does not like mice and he
like, pushed me... because I got in his way of getting what... he basically pushed me
into the mouse. And was like "Here mouse, take her."
We're home, ice cream's in the freezer... I am gonna get changed into something
workout friendly and I'm going to do my 10 minute workout. So one thing I
actually wanted to mention is that the workout I do at night is always
different, and actually, sometimes I don't do it at night I do it first thing in
the morning... and I also cycle between different types of workout. Sometimes
it's an arm circuit, sometimes it's a leg toning circuit... I actually just put up a
six-minute toning workout on my youtube channel recently with my trainer Justin.
Tonight, I'm feeling the arms. My goal for my upcoming wedding has just been to
feel stronger, so I have a few different YouTube videos and on-demand videos that
I cycle through just to follow at home with my weights... Tonight I'm actually
going to use a workout on Obe which is just an app where you can follow
on-demand videos... And you can just kind of watch me doing the circuit. I am going
to speed the video up so I'll warn you right now that it's not going to be a
tutorial or a "do it with me" style video... Let's go workout.
That was fun. I'm done. And I'm just gonna get in the shower now... so I don't think I'm
gonna take you in there. Alright, shower's done. My hair has stayed very
dry... The only thing that's really changed is that my eye makeup has decided to
come off my face... I'm going to show you how I handle that. So the next step in my
process is removing my makeup. And the way I've been doing this recently is
using this cleanse oil from Crude. Okay so, I take this oil and just rub a little bit
between my hands like this and I just rub it right over my eyes... and, as you can
see, it starts to get makeup on my fingers pretty quickly... I'm gonna take
this clean pull cloth from Crude... I basically soak it with hot water, and I
take this hot cloth and I just go like this. That's it. It feels so good, and I'm
very gentle... It literally just pulls the makeup right off your face. My skin has
been really looking good lately. (Knock on wood...) I used to have tons of breakouts up
on my forehead at kind of random times... I just would get random breakouts around
my face and ever since I started using that crude cleanse oil regularly, I
really haven't seen breakouts. My skin has not looked like this in a while,
and I'm just praying to the skin gods that this is how it stays for my wedding.
So once I do that then I have a pretty simple and regular routine of skin
products that I put on. I use this Bio Clarity salicylic acid gel. I'm running
low but I just take a little dot of it and rub a light layer all over my skin. I
do the same thing with this Bio Clarity chlorophyll gel... this is one of my
favorites because it kind of tints your skin green for a brief second... then I use
these two oils from Tuel... This one is a deep pore cleansing oil... kind of running
low on this too... need to replenish soon. One squirt
makes me nice and glowy, and dewy... and follow it up with the Tuel number two deep
pore herbal toner... (also running low...) Rub that in... and then, depending on if
it's morning or night, I'll use either this Differen gel, or this other acne
treatment that my dermatologist gave me. At night I use the Differen because
it's a little bit stronger... but I just run a light layer all over my face. And
that is my skincare routine of the moment! So, I've stuck to this exact routine
for probably two months now and my skin's looked pretty good. So I might not be
stopping anytime soon. I'm officially in PJs. I got my Pizza
shorts on, and my Fink bread shirt... If anyone's familiar, my family used to own
a bakery... The next step in this routine, especially after I have just done a
workout... is using a muscle oil and cream to kind of reduce the inflammation and
make it so I'm not as sore the next day. Green Road sponsored this video which means
that, actually if you use the link in the description box below and use code LUCIE15
you can get 15% off all of your Green Roads products. I know that CBD has been
popping up all over the place lately, and, at least from my perspective it was
something that I didn't truly understand and I was a little skeptical about at
first, because I personally don't smoke marijuana and yet I associated the two. BUT...
CBD stands for cannabidiol and it's a chemical compound that's found naturally
in the hemp plant. It's not mind-altering like marijuana, so it won't get you high.
But Green Road CBD is extracted 100% from the hemp plants. They're all
pharmacist-formulated, and they're held to the highest standards when it comes
to things like potency and purity. It's been used for over 40 years for a whole
wide variety of reasons. Everything from reducing inflammation
and pain... or even for some mental health issues like depression anxiety or
overall stress levels. As you can see from the website that I'm showing you on
screen right now, Green Roads has a ton of product offerings from oils that you
drop under your tongue, to capsules if you would prefer to
swallow things whole, to topical creams to put on your skin, gummies, and so much
more. So, if you are interested in trying any of these products it's just a matter
of what's the most convenient way for you to add this CBD into your personal
wellness routine. My two favorite green Roads products are this muscle and
joint relief cream... I just pump it out and rub it on my
shoulders... and my other favorite product are the Relax Bears. I have to say I've
only in my life ever tried two other brands of CBD, and both of those other
brands actually made me feel MORE jittery... but Green Roads is the only
brand of CBD that when I have those gummies I find myself feeling really
relaxed. Same thing with this cream. After I workout, I actually find that I'm
way less sore the next morning. So go into the link in the description box
below, use code LUCIE15... I hope you love it.
What you doin'?
Michael: Just taking care of some stuff.
Lucie: Work.
I put on my Saturn sweatshirt from
Daisy Club, and I put on some fuzzy socks... just sitting and waiting for Michael to
be ready... My baby ice creams... I don't think I put enough toppings on my ice
cream, so I'm adding cacao nibs... oh yeah, that's a full scoop.
Alright, so what flavor did you get?
Michael: I got blueberry.
Lucie: Blueberry... Just blueberry?
Michael: Yeah. Hey!
Lucie: Yum. I got mango and banana.
Alright, should we brush our teeth? It's officially my favorite part of the
night! Tooth brushing time!
And we're off to the bedroom! This is my second favorite part of the night. I'm in! He's in!
This is what we do. We throw everything on the floor. And we're in! That's it, that's the night!
