Living & working in London | balancing everything, meal prep, 9-5, daily duties, dinner dates 🍂🏙️

Another few days of living & working in london 🍂🤎 Life has been feeling like a constant balancing act lately, trying to keep on top of my 9-5, everyday responsibilities, making time for friends and still finding little moments to enjoy myself. this vlog is a realistic mix of work-from-home days, life admin, dinner plans, a change of weekend plans and a cosy autumn evening with the girls. I start things off with a little get ready with me and a chat before settling down to work, including how much I've been missing my braids lately! my first ever HelloFresh box also arrives, so I unbox everything and show you what I've ordered before getting back to my working day. I'll be cooking my first HelloFresh meal in the next vlog, so stay tuned for that! And get ready with me for Suaad's birthday dinner in Harringay, watching East of Eden while getting ready and unfortunately dealing with period pains at the worst possible time 😭 thankfully, it was still such a lovely evening celebrating over Turkish food and finishing off with dessert. Saturday was supposed to be a cute autumn day at Hatters Farm pumpkin patch, but Storm Austen had other plans! our trip was cancelled, so we made the most of the day with some food instead, followed by a cosy girls' night at mine. before everyone came over, I headed out to run a few errands - dropping off some empties at Boots for their recycling scheme, picking up a few essentials, browsing TK Maxx for Halloween and Christmas decor (and some Hunter wellies!) and, of course, stopping at M&S for some picky bits for our movie night. there's also the usual laundry, cleaning and little household duties that come with living alone before we settled in for a cosy evening watching Hocus Pocus 🎃 I have a little chat about YouTube and my relationship with vlogging, especially knowing when I feel comfortable picking up the camera, when I'd rather be present in the moment and how that changes depending on whether I'm alone or spending time with other people. just another realistic glimpse into my London life, balancing work, friendships, home life and everything else in between. in this vlog: ♡ living & working in London ♡ realistic 9-5 work-from-home routine ♡ get ready with me & a little life catch-up ♡ missing my braids ♡ my first HelloFresh delivery & unboxing ♡ balancing work and everyday responsibilities ♡ getting ready for a birthday dinner ♡ period pains & real-life moments ♡ Turkish dinner & dessert in Harringay ♡ Storm Austen changing our weekend plans ♡ cancelled Hatters Farm pumpkin patch trip ♡ Boots recycling scheme & essentials ♡ browsing TK Maxx Halloween & Christmas decor ♡ looking for Hunter wellies ♡ M&S snack haul & movie night essentials ♡ cleaning, laundry & daily household chores ♡ cosy girls' night watching Hocus Pocus ♡ chatting about vlogging & living in the moment *a little HelloFresh treat for you!* 🥬 You can use my code Hello Fresh code HFRESHUK366 for 50% off your first order. if you enjoy realistic London vlogs, living alone in London, working from home, 9-5 life, cosy autumn weekends, everyday routines and spending time with friends, I hope you enjoy coming along for another few days in my life 🤎 #londonvlog #livinginlondon #livingaloneinlondon #9to5life #workfromhome #realisticvlog #autumninlondon #hellofresh #weekinmylife #homebodyvlog #londonlifestyle #cosyautumn #lifestylevlog My Socials ✨ Instagram -   / janessa_x   Tiktok -   / janessaaax   Business enquiries (no spam) 📧 Janessaelizabetht@gmail.com Editing Software Programme - Adobe Premiere Pro Camera - DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and iphone 16 Pro Max #livinginlondon #workinginlondon #blackgirlvlogs ‪@BootsOfficialUK‬ ‪@HelloFreshUK‬ ‪@marksandspencer‬
