Main summary

Key takeaways

Lifestyle

Start of the week (Monday)

  • Skips an intro and starts the day with a brisk walk to meet a friend for coffee.
  • Meets Liz at Brandy (Cafe), their favorite spot.
  • Tries a coffee “fix” / experiment:
    • If the coffee ends up too sweet, Liz suggests ordering a regular coffee (no sweetener) and mixing it with the sweeter one.
    • Tip mentioned from TikTok: don’t pour the ice out—drain ice into separate cups first, then mix.
  • Heads back home and works on laptop tasks for Oilia (summer launch prep).

Smoothie + new health routine

  • Makes her usual smoothie, but adds collagen after being inspired by managers.
  • Collagen product: Vital Proteins collagen—described as easy to take and effective for her.

Printing / preparing summer orders

  • Prints Oilia summer card/order tester prints for orders launching Thursday.
  • Uses photos from a beach shoot for the card design.
  • Includes a discount code on the back (not shown in the video).

Grocery run + meal planning

  • Stops at the grocery store because she basically has no food.
  • Grocery haul highlights (for meal ideas):
    • Strawberry lemonade
    • Banana chips
    • Ingredients for chicken stir-fry: bell peppers, chicken, broccoli
    • Bread
    • Oats (for overnight oats)
    • Chia seeds
    • Granola
    • Sunflower seed butter cups (didn’t love—she prefers peanut butter ones and buys more peanut butter)
    • Fries
    • Stir-fry sauce
  • Breakfast cycle: gets tired of yogurt with berries, then plans to rotate back into overnight oats.

Dinner routine

  • Makes a chicken fajita rice bowl / taco-bowl alternative:
    • Chicken cooked with peppers and onions
    • Adds broccoli and rice
    • Uses teriyaki sauce
    • Plans to make leftovers for tomorrow
  • Notes that cooking is still new for her—she takes longer than most.

Mood + self-care on a gloomy/rainy day

  • Weather affects her mood, so she responds by forcing herself out and going to a cute coffee shop.
  • Uses getting dressed as a mental reset; builds an outfit around a new Coach bag (sponsored by Coach).
  • Styling notes:
    • Mixes black + brown
    • Adds silver jewelry and matches it with the bag’s silver hardware
    • Wears her favorite boots for the final look

Big workday: birthday surprises + product launch

  • Early morning:
    • Buys/surprises a friend with matcha and flowers for her birthday and tries to drop it off before she wakes up.
  • Oilia summer collection launches at 11:00 a.m.
    • When she checks, it’s sold out of almost everything.
    • Restock planned around when the video goes up.
  • After the launch:
    • Takes the train/subway to a meeting with her managers.
    • Has lunch meeting at Laora Bianca (Italian restaurant).

Event day: Drunk Elephant master class

  • Gets motion sick after an Uber to Brooklyn (“car sick” from jerky rides).
  • Attends an in-person event/master class with Drunk Elephant.
  • Skin/glow update afterward: “my skin is glowing.”

Working-heavy day (editing + social stimulation)

  • Plans an “editing day” at her computer:
    • Posts multiple videos and sends a required brand video (behind on editing).
  • Lifestyle note: when she has long screen-heavy days and lives alone, she finds it important to get out of her apartment for social stimulation—even if she’s working nearby.

Editing date

  • Meets Nikki for an editing/work session (both edit for long hours).

Packing orders from home

  • Spends hours packing Oilia summer collection orders from her apartment.
  • Wraps and prepares shipments for sending the next day.
  • Mentions she set up packing neatly/aesthetically for Instagram first.

    • Same parts oats + milk
    • Adds peanut butter + honey
    • Toppings: strawberries + granola
    • Includes chia seeds in the mix

Weekend wrap + travel prep

  • Breakfast hyperfixation continues with the overnight oats.
  • Prepares for a trip to Alaska next week with her dad (nature-focused trip).
