Hi Ellen, I am not usually one to comment but wanted to let you know that your videos mean a lot to me, I'm in a period of big changes in my life which have led me to have panic attacks - I live alone and watching your routines and day in the life videos in the background of my morning and evening routines makes me feel like I have a big sister with me. It gives me so much comfort and I am very gratfeul for you :)
Hey 🤍 I appreciate you so much. I know exactly how it can be when life feels out of control and leads you down a spiral of anxiety - you are not alone and I promise promise it will get easier. It means so much you took the time to write your comment and I’m so touched I can help, even in some small way - I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thank you so much for being here!! ❤️🥰
Ok worth mentioning even i felt im crazy that i love commuting to offc in the morning in Dublin.! Reading my book or listening to musics or podcasts.! It feels like my own time.! ❤
It’s very rare to see vlogs that are based on a realistic 9 to 5 that you can relate to so this was really refreshing! Please do more videos of making that precious me time when your 9 to 5 takes up so much time of the week? Subscribed xx
Love your video, Ellen! So inspirational and calming. So great to see you in the office. Love your perspective on the commute; completely agree it is a great time to focus on you. I think your hands are completely fine; I think it shows you are passionate and expressive! 🥰
Hi Ellen, really enjoying your videos. For me they are really realistic to life , well to my life and probably to your fans who are following you 😊. Like you I am in a corporate job and have to commute to the city .I have to wake up 4.30am to shower do hair , make up 😫 and to get out of the house to get the train to the city . As mentioned before , I am one of your new followers. I am currently off sick with a viral infection, brought on by stress which had a huge impact on my immune system. So while I have been off I have been watching all your oldest videos and catching up with your life at the moment. One thing you have encouraged me to do , is to do the things I love and do also take little trips. 💫
Wow 4.30 is super early!! And I’m so sorry you’re not well at the moment 🥺 I hope you’re on the mend and starting to feel better!! Thank you so much for your comment and your support 🥰❤️
Hey lovely lady! Fellow CSQer here, so great to come across another RU-vidr, would be great to connect next time you’re in the office. I’ll shoot you over a teams message 🥰 Completely echo your sentiments on coming into the office, as much as I love my little WFH bubble, it’s great to get to the office once a week or so when colleagues are in to properly catch up! The free/subsidised lunch is also a nice addition 😌
How are you liking your new job?! My commute is not as smooth, I have to drive 40 minutes to and from work. If I was taking public transportation, I would love to be able to read! I do like the buffer so to speak between home and work. I recently got a new job and have had to go back into the office for three days in the week and I have to say it has felt good to be around people again. Let’s see how long that lasts 😂
My project at the moment is good! Busy and some days are tough but overall good! Driving is definitely more tiring - but having aircon or heating in the car on harsh weather days is a perk of driving for sure. Ah congratulations on the new job!! So glad you're enjoying it ❤❤❤
Thanks Ellen for the video. It's well done and motivational and relaxing. I also like how authentic you are in these videos :) I used to work for the Jubilee Line system and so glad to see it again !! Love from Canada
Hi! Thanks for your video, i already finish college and i’m going to start working tomorrow. This video inspire a lot, i’m nervous to start this new chapter. Thanks! Saludos desde España ✨
Ah congratulations - You’ve got this!! I remember being absolutely terrified but it’s crazy how quickly you settle in and the fear fades. Good luck! ❤️❤️
thank you so much!! i've never considered myself much of an interior designer, but i use pinterest a lot and take inspo from places i travel whenever i go on holiday 🥰
HI ELLEN, I' m Palm from Thailand. Your vlog is really inspired and motivative me a lot. i really enjoy your routine and i hope i will be the same relax moment right you.💟
Hey Ellen , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
Hello! I am learning English, watching your videos with interest, trying to understand what you are talking about. I am from Ukraine, there is a war in my country, a difficult time for Ukrainians, I am temporarily living in Latvia. Videos are distracting for a while. Thank you, good luck to you
Love your videos! I'm new to your channel and have been binge watching 😂 fast becoming my favourite place. I say this with love but your hand gestures a bit crazy and off putting lol. Its made me realise I'm probably the same though!
im so glad you're enjoying the channel! 🙈 you're right about the hand gestures, honestly i don't realise i'm doing it - but i will definitely try and calm the hands down haha! ❤️
Hi Ellen, i was going through all ur old videos nd caught my eyes on beige coat.! I kind a have same style nd liking nd fitting of ur clothes.! So i would love to know from which brand is that.! Im from Dublin so i might get the same one here as well.! Plz plz let me know.! Love ya xxx
It’s a mix for me - I go in one day a week (typically Tuesdays). But at the moment I’m going in more like 2x a week as we get closer to a deadline. But I defs vlog more when I wfh as easier to film more of my day ❤️❤️
She brushed her teeth and after that she drank tea. Probably would be better if you drank the tea earlier and end the night by brushing your teeth because tea is bad for your teeth.
hello, you know I noticed you touch your face a lot. Really, like...all the time... if you stop doing that, half of your skin problems will disappear. No hate, just an advice.
all those "day in life" type of video seems more concerned with food and makeup than work. they always make me feel they eat 9 -5 professionally and work during lunch time.
Hi Ellen! I just stumbled on your channel looking for some routine videos for 9-5 when you have to go into the office. Just wanna say how much I love this video and how nice it is to see you try and make the best of moments in your day when it’s so full on. I’m really struggling atm with giving energy to things outside my 9-5 as the commute/getting ready and unready takes up such a large portion of my day as it does yours and I’m just so tired and resentful. My old job was mainly wfh so it’s been adjustment 😅 but anyway thank you for this video and portraying such a realistic day in the life balancing work and life 💖
Oh I feel you so much ❤️ sometimes it does just suck and there’s no question going into an office takes more energy than wfh - so definitely let yourself feel frustrated sometimes. But just remember the good bits come back around, and finding joy in the small moments makes such a difference (and maximising rest on weekends) - which is definitely what I’m trying to focus on at the moment ❤️ wishing you a lovely week!! 🫶

I started working as a people consulting in 2017 - I did biology so not a related degree at all! I talk more about what I do in my other 9-5 day in the life videos ❤️
Hi Ellen, thank you for bringing us to the office with you 😊 sooo coooll. And hey I don't think your hand movements are crazy they are kind of calming and just who you are. So don't chance a thing please. I like it. Can't wait till next sunday know I kbow what kind of video we will receive 🙈 I love that your selfcares and eveningroutines. They are always inspiring. I had such a good week. What good you are doing your daily habits. You are a real girl boss. Me tooooo. 💪 I doing them also (but my own goals) and it feels amazing. Wish you a great great week Ellen. ❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰 honestly I’m not sure if I could change even if I wanted to, I’ve always had pretty expressive hands 🙈 So glad you had a great week!! I’m also soo excited for the self care evening routine 🥰 see you Sunday! xxx
Just finished watching it, I loved it Ellen! I absolutely love the ones that are aesthetically oriented but there’s something so nice about how raw and real this one felt, love it!!! Also I scrolled through some of the comments and saw that someone had commented on your hand gestures, I understand that it might be distracting to some people but honestly it’s such a part of you that I wouldn’t try to change it unless it also bothers you and it’s something you want to change. I also speak with my hands and I think I wouldn’t be able to get a word out without moving them 😂 sending love and good vibes for the rest of your week, can’t wait for the next one! ❤xx
Love the video! Just a thought, I had skin issues like you are describing and then my coworker mentions that I touch my face ALOT. I have updated some of my skincare and am conscious of not touching my face as much and I have seen a big difference. 😊
I’ve never seen your videos, your video just came up in my feed. I’ve worked in London for the past 14 years so it was interesting to see your video. I always used to have those chocolate rice cakes in the afternoon 😂 since Covid and having a baby I only go into the office once a month so it’s all a novelty now 😂
Hi Ellen! Your commute and day at work looks so peaceful, that is not what I expected in a busy city like London 😀 mine is way worse and hectic haha. How did you get into this job and do you enjoy it? Did you have previous experience in a similar role? I’m curious because it sounds interesting, if you could give some insight it would be nice! ☺️❤️
Some days of the commute are definitely more hectic than others 😂 I got my current job through a graduate scheme called ‘people consulting’ - in other businesses it’s also called HR strategy consulting or human capital consulting. Because I joined straight from uni I didn’t have any other experience to be honest - just general business skills from some work experience! If you have any other questions just let me know!! 🥰❤️
