living alone ☕️ | a productive day in Rome 🇮🇹 exploring the city, eating yummy food 🍝

[Music] Further [Music] Um [Music] Okay, so good morning everyone! Today we're gonna spend a productive day together because I have a lot of things to do. So, I'm currently living alone in Rome, but my mom is visiting me. I have a video that I need to edit because I'm about to publish it in about three hours. Also, I have a story sponsorship deal, which I'm gonna upload currently on my Instagram. Let's log into my phone. I actually don't do that many Instagram sponsorships, but these days it's increasing day by day, which makes me happy. So, let's do it!

Okay, so I'm gonna upload this into my story. This is the Busu sponsorship. Let's go! [Music]

Okay, so I finally finished editing this video that I'm gonna upload right now. It is the video about how to stop spending time on, uh, social media, or like how to spend less time on social media. I'm gonna upload this, create the thumbnail, and then also organize the video description, timestamps, and make the video really ready so that we can upload it in about an hour. I'm glad that the editing actually didn't take much time. I feel like with the time I got really better at filming and also editing videos because in the beginning it used to take me like 60 minutes to film just a 10-minute video, and now it usually takes around like 18 to 20 minutes to take a 10-minute video.

Then, editing it used to take me like five to six hours, and now it takes me about four hours-ish. But of course, if it's a sponsored video, you gotta like send the sponsored segment to the sponsor, and they're gonna like approve it, and then you send the full video and they will upload the full video. And if there's something wrong about it, you gotta like change it too. So, sponsored videos usually take me double the time than the regular videos. Um, so this video was sponsored; however, I did the sponsored segment without any mistakes or without, you know, any changes required.

So, it feels really good that the video only took me four to five hours-ish. I actually really want to improve the video quality, but right now I feel like in most cases, of course, quality is important, but consistency is the key on YouTube. And what made me grow is that not the video quality that I had, but like more the consistency that I had. So, I do not necessarily believe that quality is over quantity. I think it just kind of makes that person more of a perfectionist, and I'm really against being a perfectionist. So, I feel like quantity is better than quality if you are a beginner, if you are intermediate, and sometimes even if you are like a really big YouTuber, depending on your audience, quantity might be better than quality. But yeah, let's upload!

So, I finished the editing, and I uploaded the video. I set the timer for it so that it's going to be published, and you guys can watch it now. Time for lunch! I made this bean quinoa, like, pop breakfast salad yesterday. It's with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a bit of vinegar. We have also sweet potato, aubergines, and also taco shells in our oven. Once they're ready, I'm just gonna have lunch because I'm really hungry.

The rest of the day I'm planning to study a bit, do some tax regulations, and also go for a walk, have dinner, take a shower, FaceTime my friends, and talk with everyone that I know, and then go to sleep. That is the plan of today. Yay! My video is now alive, and people are watching it and commenting it, so I'm gonna answer some questions, some comments, and, you know, support the community. My backpack is from Brevity, and this backpack is so functional. There is like a part where you can hang your keys and also put your stationery.

I like to bring a lot of pencils, but I don't want to bring like a pencil case, so my glasses, it all fits into the front section. There are like two main parts when it comes to this bag. So, the front part you can fit in a lot of stuff. I always put my notes, books, and anything I want to put in. Also, these bags are made from recycled plastic. It's made from water-resistant material, so you don't have to worry about being out in the rain. One of the coolest things about this bag is that you can take something out via the side access zipper.

With my Brevity bag, I no longer have to dig through my bag to reach the bottom, and you can choose from 11 fun colors, so you can match your bag to your style. Also, there is a luggage pass-through, so you don't have to lug your bag around the airport. Water bottle holder that actually fits a 40-oz Hydro Flask, so you don't have to keep your water bottle inside your bag. And Brevity also has a lifetime warranty, so that you never have to buy another backpack again. If you want to check what other people have to say about Brevity, there are 5000 plus 5-star reviews.

We are now heading to the restaurant to have dinner. We're going to Konarello, which is like a very popular and kind of affordable place to eat carbonara, which is one of my favorite foods. It's a ramen pasta. Okay, let's go! [Music]

I love you! We're walking dead over there. [Music] [Music] No, I'm not. [Music] [Music] [Music]

Hey, we got gelato! I got one with tiramisu and the other one with fig, like mascarpone fig or something. I'm so sweaty; Rome is so hot! I swear to God I will never be around this summer ever again. [Music] [Applause]

Hi guys! As you guys probably can notice, I just got back home, changed my clothes, and I also removed my makeup. I will read a bit of a book and go to sleep. I was actually planning to like work out a little bit and then maybe study for a bit, but I already did editing for four hours, and I decided to have just like a chill day because I'm also on my period, and I do not really want to push my body on my period. You know you gotta take rest if you're not feeling yourself.

I think not doing it for months and months and months really resulted in me burning out in the past, and I really do not want to go back into that mental and physical state. So, I'm more conscious about taking care of my body, about taking care of my soul. So, I'm gonna read about 20 to 30 minutes of a book and then go to sleep. These days I'm really into reading before going to bed. There are a lot of things going on right now in my life, and I feel like reading makes me really allow me to kind of calm down and face my thoughts.

So, I'm gonna read this book called "The Three Happiness." This is a book from my favorite author, psychologist Kabusa Young. This book is in Japanese, and unfortunately, it doesn't have an English translation. However, after I finish just reading this book, I'm planning to make a video about it, so stay tuned. And if you're Japanese, I highly recommend this book.

So, this book is basically about happiness, and it breaks down happiness into three types. So, the one is the certain happiness, the second one is the oxytocin happiness, and the third is the dopamine happiness. So, these are three different hormones that regulate happiness in the human body, and he explains how to use these hormones in order to experience true happiness and to not be happy in life generally. It is a really interesting book, and as soon as I finish reading it, I'm gonna make a video about it, so stay tuned. [Music]
