week in my life | laundry time, socializing, cozy days at home!

Laundry + Home Comfort (Ongoing Routine)

• Did sheet laundry after the air conditioner repair, aiming to return to the original room and put on fresh bedding.
• Plans to wash workout clothes after the sheets due to a backlog.
• Another day:
  • Weather felt “perfect for laundry.”
  • Folded laundry from a growing pile (mixed workout clothes + athleisure).
  • Steamed a workout skirt before training because it “looks cuter,” even if it gets wrinkled again.

Health + Energy Management

• Tennis Day 1 felt draining due to the heat and being on the second day of her period.
• Struggles with sleep and generally low energy, then resets with:
  • Shower → instantly better, improved mood.

Sports Streak: Tennis + Pickleball (Travel-Light Active Lifestyle)

• Started tennis training, marking the beginning of her tennis journey.
• Tennis gear:
  • Opened a Wimbledon ball
  • Tried a new purple racket
• Played tennis day #2, focusing on improving movement/footwork.
• Used helpful equipment:
  • Ball cart
  • Special ball picker (Decathlon) for easier setup
• Transitioned to pickleball for more racket-sport bonding and play.

Socializing + Errands

• Sports time included mom watching and hyping her up.
• Ran quick essentials:
  • Nails appointment
  • Coffee run due to an oat milk shortage elsewhere
• Later plans social time with friends:
  • Catan night at home
  • “GNO” (girls night out) vibe after prepping simple makeup and hair

Food + Snacks (Mostly Local Favorites)

• Ordered delivery/comfort meals; mentioned cravings like salad days.
• Specific places/items mentioned:
  • Cilantro ATC: recommended sticking to beef ligero / burritos; some other items weren’t as good
  • Frankie’s: eating out before editing and watching tennis
  • Sushi Ninja: dinner—said it was amazing
  • Drinks:
    • Sea salt latte
    • Later switched to We the People for a Muscovado latte
• “Pickleball tennis day” meal moment:
  • Mentioned burritos (beef + lengua) and soft drinks

Work/Creative Routine: Vlog + Editing Workflow

• Edited multiple vlogs, sometimes trying to reduce length:
  • Aiming for ~1 hour (also cutting down to 1 hour 20 minutes)
• Frequent “same day” workflow:
  • Film → edit → add text/music → upload
• Filming/producing feels like therapy and helps her practice speaking.
• Realized she needed an outro, then recorded one at the end.

Japan Trip Preparation + Packing System (Major Highlight)

• Announced she’s going to Japan next week and repeatedly shared a “packing plan.”
• Packing approach:
  • Used multiple organizers (bathroom/toiletry + shoe + underwear storage)
  • Kept skincare/toiletries in a clear jelly organizer (upgraded version includes “handles”)
  • Shoe rotation:
    • Brought several pairs
    • Worried about uncomfortable shoes
    • Prioritized comfy leather flats for long walking
• Travel gear:
  • Mentioned using AirTags (after losing a passport on a prior trip)
  • Carry-on with compartments for charging essentials and multiple bags
• Follow-up:
  • Finished editing, then later posted that she returned from Tokyo (July 14)
  • Said she “never goes to Hong Kong without coffee,” then noted trying Japan/Vietnam brand coffee
