Влог за среду и четверг

Hello, My Babes! Welcome to another vlog! This is the end of my work week, so hang with me as we cruise into the weekend with style and grace! Highlights include: -Up before the sun, making my protein matcha, packing a little cooler, and trying to get my brain together after waking up at 4:45. -I woke up with YouTube monetization on my mind after reading about what I understood to be changing requirements. The way I understood it, if you haven’t reached 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours by February 1, 2027, the thresholds could go up to 2,000 subscribers and 8,000 watch hours. And honestly? It made me wonder if I was wasting my time. -I had to check myself and ask: is monetization really the whole reason I’m here? The honest answer is that I would love to be monetized someday. It could be an amazing, life-changing thing, and it’s fun to imagine where this channel might go. But it isn’t the reason I show up. Right now, I’m happy working toward 1,000 subscribers—whether I’m at 38 subscribers or 38,000. I want to keep making videos because I love the ideas, I love the community, and I want to help other women feel less alone. If monetization happens along the way, that’s wonderful; it just can’t be the only thing that makes this worth doing. -A sweaty workout, an update after my physician appointment, and figuring out the most cost-effective next steps for my care. -I changed my dinner plan when the tofu stir-fry started feeling like too much work and made creamy tomato cavatappi instead. -A busy catch-up night with finances, eBay listings, studying, YouTube work, and squeezing in a workout. -Practicing looking into the camera lens (even though it’s so hard not to look at myself), then winding down with a good book and some much-needed sleep. 0:00 Early morning prep 1:43 YouTube monetization vs. why I create 4:48 Community, passion, and my 1,000-subscriber goal 11:32 Workout and health appointment update 15:30 Deciding what to make for dinner 18:30 Unpacking the meal kit and cooking 22:05 After-work plans and a catch-up night 25:19 Workout recap and practicing camera eye contact 29:09 Goodnight and weekend plans Be sure to like, comment, subscribe if you haven't already, and share a video with a pal who you think would resonate with my content. The vibe here is to have a bestie in your life who is vulnerably sharing it all, showing how I'm just trying to be myself, do my best at life, and figure some things out along the way. If that vibe suits you, then I'm your YT girlie! This is as raw and authentic as it gets! If you didn't know, in addition to vlogs, I also do sit-down videos on a vast array of self-love topics, including a new channel series called The Self Love Diaries, where I bring on guests who are also concerned with self-love and helping women (and people at large) to find it in all kinds of ways. I also do various finance content, including WISIAM videos, and a lot of my self-love content weaves in personal finance, because I believe that these two things go hand-in-hand, and personal finance has been a ginormous part of my personal self-love journey! So, check those out! Lately, I've also been trying my hand at some beauty related vids, just for fun, and to share what has worked for me along the way. You can check those out, too! Again, if you want chatty companionship, I'm your girl for those cozy kinda days! :) TY to my new subbies! Ty to my OG subbies! Thank you to everyone for all of your love and support! Thank you for your engagement! It means the world to me! Me and Beard are sending our love right back at you, as per usual! xoxoxoxoxo
