BEING A YOUTUBER AND WORKING A 9 TO 5 VLOG

[@Jemmifit]

Listen if you have any tips on balancing a 9-5, going to the gym and running a business then GIRL! LET 👏🏾 A 👏🏾 BISH 👏🏾 KNOW cause it is haaaard

[@NatalieBarbu]

Haha it is! I talked about it in my q and a

[@janelledeshield]

I literally feel the same about my job... when I’m driving there I can feel my mood getting worse as I get closer. I wanna be more consistent with my KZbin channel while I’m in school but I feel like there is no time

[@AnnaPedron]

Janelle Deshield when you really want something you keep going for it! Even doing simple vlogs still makes you consistent & I know we will all make it if we try hard😊

[@janelledeshield]

Anna Pedron thank you! I’m trying and definitely think I’m getting better!

[@gabbiefoote]

Natalie I feel the exact same way. I feel stuck in a job and I just want to work on me and the things I love. I want to post more and work on things I can control. I am so thankful to hear this from someone else too !!

[@twolala1]

Don't worry, you're not complaining..I completely relate to you in the fact that I'm at my actual job not doing what I love and not feeling fulfilled. It makes me want to work 10x harder on my passion until it's my reality. Love your videos and I just love how relatable you are!

[@eliashleyy]

aww yay!!! Who else loves Natalie's vlogs!!

[@ariana215]

ash elizabeth I dooooo

[@ivanacelinakraljevic9217]

the 9-5 grind is reallll

[@heartnlovely]

For business casual you can pretty much copy her looks and just add a pair of straight dress pants and nicer shoes in stead of jeans and sneakers. Nordstrom’s has a bunch of cute ankle length pants.

[@NatalieBarbu]

Yess! Thank you

[@anastasia_um]

I am going through a very similar time at work. And all I have been telling my self is if Natalie can juggle a 9-5, podcast, KZbin, and a store, I can do it. I love you and your content so much. Keep inspiring !💛

[@kwinklestar_]

The last part is very relatable, but like you said it is very normal, especially with our generation, sometimes you feel lost.. my friends also feel this way. We can do this!! 💪🏻

[@MakeupBri15]

i just started working a 9-5 and i just wanna say you are such an inspiration! i feel exhausted and have a headache after pretty much every day and want to say you are amazing for being such a girlboss after work with your side hustles!!

[@alexandriagaines7614]

I've been subscribed to you for a while and just realized that you live here in Charlotte, how exciting! I can totally relate to the stress of a 9-5 and feeling like you're meant for much more. Sending you positive/uplifting vibes!

[@NatalieBarbu]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@lillianaguevara1473]

I used to work a 9-5 &I hated it. I felt so small in such a large company, I went back to school after a 6 months of working that 9-5 job. I am now a hairstylist &makeup artist &I’ve never felt happier! I can be creative everyday, Finally doing what I love!

[@SamFerro]

yesss girl this gives me so much inspiration!! just started working as a consultant and also film youtube videos so you are my go-to for motivation !!

[@SamFerro]

also could not relate more to that end part - you got this and I'm sure hiring an assistant will help so much!! If you ever have downtime at your job it will definitely help also :)

[@NatalieBarbu]

Yay!!

[@StephanieYturriaga]

Girlllll!!! I feel the same about my job, I feel like I’m wasting my time and energy here when I can being so much more with my business and be successful. Thanks for sharing! 🤗❤️

[@Blaberbomb1208]

I feel you. Corporate jobs can be frustrating especially about the non flexible time, but I hope you are not going to give it up any time soon bc I think that as non flexible and stressful they can be, they help us in terms of financial matters. We get to build a career as well if we do it well. My mom regrets not pursuing her career back when she was taking a corporate job, and now she is self-employed but not making as much money as she was employed in corporate job. Sometimes being self-employed is good sometimes it’s not, but what my mom learned was that if the corporate job someone had was well, or that the person still had any interest in it, just pursue it.

[@Ana-zy5qe]

I just want to say I love you and all of the content you put out . My office attire is denim professional so I love watching your videos and can’t wait for a look book! Thanks for always motivating me in my professional career without even knowing it! You rock girl 🥰

[@LauraLangheinrich]

I totally get what you are saying - when I was just in my internship working a 9-5 I constantly thought "I could use this time to do something so much more valuable but here I am stuck doing work that doesn't matter" 🤷🏽‍♀️ For me, it helped that the time working was limited so I knew I would have more time again eventually! 💛Maybe focussing on your life once you are full-time self-employed will help and KNOWING that this will be super soon! 💖And your 9-5 helps to get you there faster because you can use the money from your 9-5 to save or invest 💛See your 9-5 as an investor in your business because without it you wouldn't be able to live your lifestyle ❤️✨Hope this helps Natalie! Feeling so inspired as always 💓

[@NatalieBarbu]

Thank you Laura!! This is so motivating and thank you for this. So true

[@FloraGoodman]

where i work is the exact same way with dress code!! i could wear everything you wear, if not more casual. i work at a marketing agency so it's v helpful and i've def been inspired by your outfit videos

[@abigailramirez6472]

I’m at my 9-5 right now (I’m on lunch lol) :,/ I’m a part time college student but I am going full time next year and I’m so scared on how I will balance school and a full time job. Watching your videos makes me so motivated because of how hard you work. I found you by watching Michelle Reeds videos lol! You were on my recommended lol I’m a new subscriber!!! ♥️ sending nothing but love!

[@NatalieBarbu]

Aww thanks for telling me how you found me! I love that. And love Michelle!!

[@vivian8130]

Stat strong! Hope you find a healthy balance between the two. A weekly routine and self care should help :)

[@christineewald2045]

I would like a professional look book since I'm a teacher!

[@rawreflectionswithsteph]

I feel the same way at my job. I can flex as we have maxi flex but even still sitting at a desk can be sooooo tiring. But I’m journaling again and manifesting so many things. And you can post three times a week just plan it out. Dedicate a day to get the videos edit and up. It really helps. I use Sunday’s as my day to edit and get my vids up. I keep saying i am meant for more as well. Being a creative trapped in a full time is tiring but we got to find our dreams till we get there. Keep grinding babe.

[@meljames08]

Hey Natalie🤗 don't be to hard on yourself. You already have accomplish so so much to be proud of 😀💙... and take a break if you need it🤗, girl you deserve it😏. Thanks for a another great video🌻

[@GraceTorresPhoto]

I dress business casual at my job! I always watch your vids for inspo and even if your outfits are a little more dressed down I just use the idea and dress it up with work pants/shoes :)

[@carlyelisa]

Your honesty about corporate america is so refreshing. Not putting all of your eggs in one basket is very wise!

[@samiha444]

this is so relatable thank you for being real with ussss

[@babysi5427]

Sit on the bathroom floor at work and just breath 😖 that’s like almost everyday . But these are the years of the struggle, everything will get easier later ( at least that’s what I keep telling myself )

[@DeniseAnne519]

My work is business casual. We can wear jeans everyday but should have blazer for important meeting days and be business professional for very important meetings. Also fridays are casual

[@foraluckygirl]

What would you use a digital resume for?

[@sophieanne6399]

Would love a work outfits look book :) can’t really where jeans at my work more smart trousers :)

[@jacattack96]

Professional look book for sure! Love you and your style 💥

[@rayarose764]

you make me wanna be productive!

[@NatalieBarbu]

Yes!! I’m so glad

[@courtneywalton2785]

I work in a solicitors office, really want to revamp my work wardrobe and need some ideas of professional but cute looking clothes!

[@ceciliagil2548]

I totally understand what you mean about working 9-5 and it not being fulfilling tbh . I’m taking it day by day and figuring out what makes me happy and how to invest in me Nd my future ! Because working for a business or someone is investing in them and requires so much energy. I love your videos and I’m so proud of you being grinding and working so hard !

[@kell9285]

I need to know where you got that mirror

[@CayceAnne]

Seriously love your videos. You help keep me motivated 💕

[@Ferrr]

you should make merch! love your videos they're so real and entertaining

[@fiorellapignataro2665]

Natalie witch template you use on square space?

[@amberwilliams3474]

I love Nat SO MUCH. I don’t understand why some people in the comments are mad about all the sponsorships because she already explained how she only promotes companies she likes (which is evident) and it’s how she makes money? What is the issue with that? Lmao I’m just like why hate on that I would do the same thing and it’s sad to see ppl upset about it bc Natalie is so genuine

[@NatalieBarbu]

Thank you for this sweet comment! And thanks for understanding that sponsorships that I do and genuinely love. I would never promote something that I wasn't loving.

[@Areli_04]

I was waiting for you since I woke up

[@amandasiragusa9462]

Where is your bookbag from?

[@jaelynesmith7894]

What macbook do you have??

[@keyannaking7072]

Hey Natalie, it would be really cool if u could possibly put time stamps throughout your day. You seem to fit so much in your day and I think it would be helpful for people and myself as I work a 9-5 as well. Just a thought! 😁

[@NatalieBarbu]

Yes I've done that before and forgot in this one but I know you guys love them! If it helps I wake up around 7 and head to work at 9:10ish and get back at 5:30

[@keyannaking7072]

Wow! Your videos look like you fit so much into that 2 hours 😅

[@nickiedoyle1731]

My office is the same as yours very casual. I do dress up some days .

[@raluung]

What tom ford is your prafume?😅

[@ariana215]

Natalie I have been one of your subscribers for about a year and I love your vlogs!

[@lorenjerae254]

You are such an inspiration for me. But it is definitely hard to balance college and making good content for KZbin

[@kevinpatino8708]

Hello Natalie how are ya doing today? I would like suggest if you can put time stamps on your videos to see what time and etc. Please? Thanks Kevin Patino

[@ArcanistBlack]

you expect me to believe that you just wake up that good looking?

[@slade_coetzee5564]

What is your job? Like what do you do lol?💕 ily 💕

[@samanthaheflin1644]

Yes! Do a professional lookbook please!

[@amandajewell]

ooo can't wiat for this one!

[@raneeyogita3196]

Always enjoy seeing how you juggle your full time job and youtube! But just curious, you said that you had a rougj day that day and you’re stressed at work due to the inefficiency... then you went on to say that your company is not at all like that but then you also went on to say that as soon as you leave work you feel alot better (?) pls clarify xx

[@sparklehippogirl]

Can you link that cute blazer??

[@vivian8130]

Forever 21

[@Chloe-bg4kc]

Where’s the rug in your room from

[@NatalieBarbu]

Urban outfitters!

[@ariana215]

Also where is her blazer from I couldn’t find it in the link

[@yessicalazcano833]

ariana giguere she said that her blazer Is from Forever 21

[@ariana215]

Okay thank you! Sorry I didn’t hear that part.

[@Aripoma]

I'm a software engineer so if you ever need a coder I'm the girl for you! I am a web developer so this is up my alley.

[@lindsayloves1d]

Feeeeel that on the 9-5 life, I hate the unproductive feeling 🙄

[@mintthailandtraveler5965]

You are beautiful i like your style totaly .

[@maggiebranch9296]

Hey Natalie

[@SamanthaIsMaName]

Look book for teachers!!

[@lauraleewilliams]

how do you balance all of your responsibilities...#trying

[@sarahkromminga4101]

I definitely don't think you're complaining about work....but to be honest it makes me not excited to go into the corporate world. I'm about to start my job and hearing that you are so stressed about work makes me really nervous to start working! I love how honest you are but it does put me in a negative mindset when thinking about starting my 9-5 :(

[@bebeerin]

7:44 imagine getting sponsored so much that you forget to post a sponsorship😭😭😭can’t relate but I wish I was on that level must be nice

[@NatalieBarbu]

Haha I didn't forget completely. Just slipped my mind for a second :)

[@MeaganIu]

reading that title immediately made me wanna cue dolly parton's singing

[@Nicole-tz3xz]

Yesss i love that song hahah!

[@Aripoma]

Does your boyfriend support your KZbin career?

[@michellexalejandra]

I felt uncomfortable with him not wanting to wave to the camera lol knowing that is her job and she has an audience.

[@Aripoma]

michelle dibiaggio yeah it was at that moment that I realized she does want to share him with her audience but he probably doesn't. Which is respectful but still a wave ... haha

[@ferdelicay18]

Hi Natalie.❤️

[@briannamichelle6616]

Not sure if you received my email, but I did email you about the assist job 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sofiasaid739]

At least some people are lucky enough to have a 9-5 job... here in Mexico you either work from 8-6 or die. It sucks but I can't decide on killing myself or not...

[@KerriB]

Is it possible to save up enough money to move somewhere else? I've dealt with suicidal thoughts before and knowing my situation would one day change really helped me work hard to change my perspective. I still do deal with depression and anxiety but I'm managing it better. Best of luck!

[@BellaAtkins]

There’s no way ripped jeans and sneakers are ‘business casual’ by any definition... that’s just straight-up casual

[@raneeyogita3196]
