* annoying alarm goes off *
Good morning!
Honestly, this "woke up & wasn't snoozing at all" situation
is not realistic and true!
I only do this when I have an early flight somewhere, cause I'm afraid I'm gonna oversleep!
In fact, I am trying to leave my bed from 6:30 am, because I really wanted to wake up early today,
and while I was attempting to leave the bed I already had time to chat with Irakli who's in New York now, because his day is still coming not over (hello, crazy time zones),
Today is a suuuper rainy day, and I just can't easily wake up with THAT behind my window.
The weather is on the one hand ideal for working and other serious things, but
on the other hand, all I wanna do is just lie in bed the whole day!
But I can't stay in bed any more-ee-ee! Good morning!
*music*
This situation is called "Uliana did not clean up yesterday before going to sleep"
What can I tell you, guys?
Yesterday I had a strange principle .. half .. principle .. ATTACK! half-insomnia attack.
I really wanted a dessert!
At 11 pm...
I was just lying in bed thinking "I want a dessert!", "Where can I get a dessert in Sochi in the middle of the night?"
I couldn't find out where to get dessert in Sochi in the middle of the night, but
this morning I realised that I had RawLifeBar Cherry-Chocolate flavoured in my backpack all along, and that's very sad.
Anyways, today I just want to tell you a little bit about how my day in January looks like.
And I do actually want to film videos like "a day in my life" once a month.
My days aren't much different from each other usually,
just everything happening all at once. *laughs *
And I thought that while I'm in this new beautiful environment,
I'll tell you all about what a day looks like in the life of a blogger / freelancer / student aka ME.
Let's see what my busy Saturday will look like.
I can't say that my fridge is quite full now, but aaahm...
Quail eggs for breakfast! That's what I usually cook while I'm in Moscow, so we're gonna stick to that.
I'll take some spinach too. Spinach is always a good idea!
I think I'll also cut some bell peppers and tomatoes
to eat with the boiled eggs.
That'll do.
Oh, bon appetit!
Well, if I'm being totally honest, most of my mornings begin with
me being glued to the computer screen, if the battery is not dead.
Are you dead, eh?
Nope, you're okay
Yesterday I was checking my connection speed.
In two different browsers. And for some reason, Google Chrome is performing two times slower!
And I've started watching How I Met Your Mother. Again. Don't know why.
I will sit and sip my lemon water for the next 15 minutes.
That's what I always do before breakfast.
And then I'll finally start cooking my breakfast.
I'm letting my vegetables warm a bit!
*music*
* timer sound *
So, my breakfast is finally ready! And it is 9 am already.
I'm gonna eat now. Don't know about you, but I have a strange eating habit -
I'm peeling all my eggs first
and only then do I eat them.
First of all, it gives me plenty of time to watch some YouTube videos during breakfast.
and, secondly, I'm going into some kind of meditative state during this process, if I peel them first, and then eat them. *weird, I know*
And I do usually watch some videos or I begin listening to a new podcast episode.
while i'm peeling all of the eggs.
And now I'm going to watch Ellina's "thinking about plans for the year" vlog
OHH, what a beautiful kitchen Ellina has!
I'll leave a link to this video down below in the description, just in case you guys decide to check it out.
And then, when I'll be done with peeling and will finally get to eating, I'm going to plan the day in my little travel notebook,
with my wonderful "Harry Potter"-like pen
that *based on the way it looks* should write everything down for me by itself
I will plan my day, update my to-do list
because, frankly, there are some things left that I did not have time to do yesterday
And we'll check what I managed to do! *achievements, lol*
So that's it, lots and lots of e-mails to read and lots of comments to answer!
That's my plan for the morning. Let's dive into it!
*music*
Hiiii
Time for an update!
It is now almost half past twelve, apparently
12-something p.m.
As you can see, I washed my hair rags and
I'm almost done with all the comments, slowly moving further along my to-do list.
Still have to deal with: exam answers, few e-mail, filming.
And then I'll be able to finally relax!
I finally cleaned the apartment, because yesterday I had some people over.
And hopefully,...
I'll show you the room tour!
Let me show you the apartment tour!
What am I so blunt
So!
Oooh.
Let's start with the room tour!
So, this apartment is located in
SOCHI !!!! 11
My, perhaps, favourite Russian city.
And this is my first time in Sochi ..
In Sochi, yea. During the winter time!
And I did not regret going on this trip at all!
*music*
So! Technically, this is a small studio.
First, you enter a long, long, long corridor.
And then you get into the kitchen.
And then, if you'll run a bit more, you'll see a bedroom.
And then, if you'll run a bit more
you'll see a living room! *lol*
That's the perfect space for YouTube filming,
perfect space to just relax & rest,
to work,
because the Wi-Fi is incredibly fast.
And the upload speed is sometimes even faster than in my Moscow rental home.
So just an incredibly cool space overall!
Here I have a small workstation organised in my kitchen,
I spent here most of my time during the day
and spent most of the time during this trip.
Currently editing new #BookBreakfast video, that will live this Sunday.
With wonderful Eugenia,
she's the host of the knigagid channel!
My notes and phones.
The apartment has absolutely everything you need to live. Forks are all there ..
Cups and kitchen-y things like that.
See - beauty!
You have
ALL YOU NEED HERE!!! 11
Very convenient refrigerator, microwave oven, if you need it,
and even some meds left by the apartment owners up there.
The bed is unrealistically comfortable!
I didn't really enjoy pillows because
they're not so squishy as I'm used to, they are rather dense
Therefore, I slept on the decorative ones from the sofa
And they were cool indeed!
By the way, time for a progress update:
half past three (MSK)
I filmed a video, edited several videos, wrote a script. * edited = sent for export
Almost every email is answered, all of the working issues resolved,
almost everything I had to write is written.
Therefore, I can now chill and relax for some time by giving you an apartment tour.
And, as you can see, there's a TV on the wall behind me.
Beautiful TV, super-flat screen
I have not seen a flat screen at home for a long time.
Well, I have one back at home in St.Petersburg, so I see it on the wall when I'm visiting %)
Honestly, since I got here, I have never turned it on yet.
I have no idea what is shown on the local news or TV in general. * lol *
Cause the view from my window is way coolers than the TV shows!
Well, and there is a giant TV screen across the street,
which sometimes intrudes my cozy space with its bright lights in the evenings.
Love!! Love this apartment.
That's my verdict!
Come, I'll show you the bathroom!
Uuuh ... almost hit the table!
Bathroom is pure L.O.V.E.
Are you ready?
AAAAHHH
Come inside!
Here is the bathroom!
Firstly, the coolest thing in here is the heated floor.
Here is the shower.
Everything very stylish, very pretty. Some of my things are hanging here.
A small shelf for you to put all of your beauty blogger belongings.
My wonderful hair straightener.
Washing machine for those who are here for a long period of time.
The electric towel rail. Some stuff hanging here too, as you can see.
*music*
Well, of course, the most important exhibit in the whole apartment.
My
what ..
Which way should I turn ?!
Never understand which way to turn when I'm using this Joby Gorillapod -_-
My Samsonite SUIT-case!
Come on!
Feels like I've showed you everything!
Twinkly lights - the property of your truly.
I brought them from Moscow, cause I knew they would look very beautifully on the headboard at the background.
I guess the apartment tour is over now!
Hope you enjoyed it! I hope it was interesting for you guys!
I'll leave the link to this apartment in the description below!
In case you'll want to come over to Sochi and live here.
And you'll also find the Airbnb discount link in the description.
It'll give you 1200RUB discount (in fact, 2100!)
if I'm not mistaken (I AM), for renting this place.
So you can get almost a night here for free!
If you register with my link and book this apartment.
Or some other space on Airbnb.
And thats is not sponsored, just a cool incentive from Airbnb!
So you can send out a link like this to your friends too!
*music*
Just wrote "monday morning" on one of my texts
and a song immediately popped into my mind
I don't remember what it's called
Wait, isn't it called Monday Morning or something?
A girl singing something like...
Because i'm leaving on Monday morning
Monday morning
Yep, that's the one by Melanie Fiona!
*music*
More upbeat tracks
and all sorts of 'dancing trough life'
can be found on my Yandex.Music playlists. Link is in the description.
And now it's time to get back to work.
Yes Yes Yes. Back to work, back to work guys
*music*
It's 19:27 now.
And, if you are wondering:
"Did she leave this bar stool in the last 2 hours?"
My answer to you is ...
NO !!! 111
* laughs and cries *
But I just finished editing the vlog
and I almost over my obsessive-compulsive
face scratching (skin picking disorder)
because sometimes when I'm editing a video
I'm scratching and scratching and scratching
and then I get up or look in the mirror, hence the mirror is right in front of me
and I see that my whole face is red because I was scratching it so hard. Looks terrible.
I'm very very hungry right now, so I'll probably cook
some buckwheat
Yeah, buckwheat & broccoli probably.
Something tasty and kinda healthy.
Aaaaaand
Then I'll probably will go and relax a bit, watch some of the Big Bang Theory episodes
* yawns *
Oh, all tired and sleepy already!
Meanwhile, it's already dark outside
I can see my "skyscrapers" cityline
So beautiful!
Looks
very cool aaaand
it's still pouring rain outside.
eeeh
I'll miss this view.
I love this line!
So here's, my buckwheat. Here's my broccoli.
Now I'm gonna cook it.
And it will be delicious!
All right! One of the world's coolest combinations is ready!
I have this delicious dinner waiting for me!
And the coolest, one of the coolest TV sitcoms I know
"How I Met Your Mother"!
Currently watching the The Pineapple Accident* episode *Incident (1x10)
woohoo
Bon appetit to me!
SO it's now 10:15 pm.
I'm just starting with my dinner.
I usually eat around this time when I'm in Moscow too.
Hope you enjoyed this vlog!
You probably learned something new and interesting about my life. Hopefully.
If you have any questions,
leave them down below in the comments section.
In about an hour and a half, around midnight, I will go to sleep.
For about 7 hours.
And yep, see you soon on my channel!
* hears a strange noise from the corridor *
Don't know what that sound is. BYYYYYEEEE!
Hooorray!
This day is finally coming to an end!
As you can probably see, make up is off
back to the clean face * lol *
I didn't mention the most important while giving you the tour earlier today.
The thing that changed me a bit while I lived here.
MINIMALISM!
I've never lived in minimalist interiors before.
I have a big family, so
there are a lot of things just by default.
And now I also don't live in a minimalist apartment,
cause there are books everywhere.
In fact I would love to see a bookshelf on the wall
in front of me.
It would definitely add something to the atmosphere and would make this space MINE.
But at the same time,
I like that there is so little stuff everywhere
and everything is so functional!
SO convenient!
You know where everything is right away!
You see everything right away!
And it kinda makes you a bit more productive!
I even thought that maybe, when I'll have my own real estate, my own apartment or a house,
maybe I'll add some minimalism ideas to the interior.
Or, maybe, I'll just need to figure out how to recycle some of my things.
Books for example.
I have some options for book recycling already though.
On one hand,
I can sell them, as many book tubers and bloggers do, but
on the other hand
I didn't pay for some of these books in the first place.
And I have this mental dilemma in my head.
SO yeah
I need to recycle my sh*tload of stuff.
And I really liked a video Arden Rose recently posted,
where she was trying on all of her clothes (Video: Trying on my clothes / closet purge)
And I think that I should try on everything I own too!
And find things that I will definitely not wear at all in the future!
Some things from my wardrobe, I would definitely sell
or would give away to H&M on recycling.
I'm starting to get the ideas and logic and meaning behind all of that
minimalism everything is talking so much about not.
At least I begin to understand
what makes it appealing to me.
The minimalist ideas weren't attractive for me at all before! : D
I LOOVE my little action figures from% ghdh
I LOOVE my little action figures from% ghdh
I LOOVE my little / my Gosh, I can't say the MONSTERS f-in CORPORATION /
I LOOVE my little action figures from Monsters Inc.
* facepalm *
And yeah, by the way, I realized that did not show you the office zone while giving you the tour
A workplace with a divine city view.
Ahhmazing flat
Ulielie approves.
And in fact, living in this apartment made me kinda more productive!
Because, as I said,
in a video, a couple of weeks ago,
new home, new year, new beginnings
And constructions noise is everywhere all the time.
So on weekdays you have like only 2 hours to film stuff
The small filming window, from 13 to 15
Two hours required by law.. And that's it!
Weekends are kinda quiet too.
The rest of the time
* Uliana imitates a drill sound and, apparently, a jackhammer noise*
And when you realize that you have a lot of stuff to film in these 2 hours
You are incredibly good with your time before and after the filming window.
Less distracted!!
I really liked it,
because in Moscow I can sit at my table and go like:
"woooo"
"here is an interesting book, let's read a bit and look through"
"What do I have here? 15 different kinds of tea?"
"we must try three of them" * laughs *
Of course, I am exaggerating a lot now, but
I'm usually easily distracted.
And here the distraction factor is just naturally eliminated.
Less things. Nothing to be distracted by.
Even the TV does not attract me with its distractions.
* yawns *
So, yep. That's all I wanted to tell you today!
Let's go to sleep!
JK, we will not go to sleep now,
because this video is going live early in the morning
STAYMOTIVATED!
Go go go
work work work work work
* laughs *
SEEEEYAAAA!
Poor camera-baby, I hope it wasn't too cold in there.
