i hit 1K subs… now I’m Working Twice as Hard (Solo Life in France)

Good morning!!!

This morning, we're celebrating something special :)

I remember saying that I'd probably hit 1k in December with how things were going

but somehow, I got here before the end of April.

Wondering how I got here, and praying for more blessings

I'm keeping these candles. They were expensive AF!

I remember not wanting to celebrate anymore but somehow a friend convinced me

So I bought mini cakes and it's all I ate😂😂

Now i'll never buy cake from that bakery again, cos how is the cake 95% cream?

It's starting to feel like a waste of money😂

Regardless, vanilla was my absolute favorite to eat

I mean its one of my favorite flavors so it is rather expected

Now it's time to get serious

I'm more motivated to keep going with YT so i'm headed to a cafe

Hopefully, I'll be able to achieve more than I do in this house

Also, I need a new bag. I use this one for the gym, grocery's and now this?

I was trying to avoid any sugary drink, so I got another coffee

The cafe today is quite full so these were the best seats

Helping my colleagues with some of the grades

Todays objectives is to add YT subs

I remember when I saw my cousin typing away at her big job when I was young,

And I made itmy mission to learn how to type as fast

So I'd take a script and practice typing

After two cups of coffee at the cafe, I'm wondering if i'll even sleep

but I didn't know what to have for dinner, so I'm making pizza for one

I write down recipes i'd like to replicate especially if they turn out perfectly

I have followed a meal plan almost religiously this whole week

so the cake and the pizza are pretty much compensation for being disciplined

My colleague and I were talking about reward systems

And I remember saying that I'm not a dog, cos I had read that somewhere

But the truth is, we need pockets of joy and relaxation

The world is already tough on us as it is.

The reward topic has been recurrent in conversations I've had with people

do you have a reward system for yourself?

I have always rewarded myself for even the menial stuff

but it never had a name, just doing it cos I deserve it

so that's pretty much a reward system, right?😂😂

The cake was a reward for years and years of hard work, and more to come

And a veggie pizza doesnt count at this point cos where's the meat???

This turned out pretty well despite it not being a circle

but that doesn't matter

cheddar cheese and mozzarella is definitely a must

Before the countertop gets sticky

What's interesting is that I actually thought I wouldn't finish it

but I wolfed down the whole thing

Somehow, I've gained weight since I started working out 😂

I guess my muscles are up??

I have some burger patties and no bread so I'll eat this with rice instead

The inspiration here was from an IG reel I saw

and it was a Thai dish

idk what to call this cos I've added veges and used mirin too

My final egg to complete the meal

No food goes to waste on my watch

I need a bigger bowl pls

I'm not yet done with the subtitles so that is what I will be working on

And can you imagine I slept fro two hours after this?

I was only meant to sleep for 30 mins 😅

and I can't be bothered to stand for two minutes to wait for the bus

Of course chatting has to happen before work actually begins

And I forgot my keyboard which sucked cos I couldn't connect to the wifi

The letter M doesn't work on my computer and the wifi password

had both small and capital M lmao

Imagine I did all this and I didn't buy anything

Turns out card payments don't work today1 AAH ! Lidl😩

I made sure to withdraw cash just to always be safe

I'm running out of food and soon enough , I'll only have fish left

and I'm only having this salad to get rid of the tomato

leftover avocado soaked in lemon juice

and the last of my chicken

I'm multitasking cos I need to be done before I sleep

Are there any youtubers who follow me?

How do you add subtitles to your videos?

I'm spending too much time on this and it's really annoying

I use amara to add eng text and sync them then YT will automatically translate that

I am trying to uplaod more longform videos and this means I work twoce as hard,

I am also trying to build a platform and create a community so I need to do more

but my focus can't only be YT so this is why I need to wake up early and do the work

Let's do our best guys, ok? I'm going to end this here🤗❤️

and my phone fell down which is perfect timing😂😂
