VERY REAL Work Week in my Life | Washington, DC

[@amyrauch]

Hi friends, wanted to get ahead of some potential comments. This was filmed last week before things got really serious here in the US. I didn't do a great job explaining this, but the bar we went to Friday night was outside and people kept their distance, so it felt okay at the time. When I got home I realized I made the wrong decision and that even though the government hadn't placed regulations yet, I should take accountability and stay home. From Saturday on, I have only left my apartment for essentials (grocery shopping, walks by myself, etc.) I don't want it to come off like I am not taking this seriously and not doing my part to socially distance.

Amy, Thank you for sharing this video in such an uncertain time. I love watching your vlogs and find comfort in watching your routine, I don’t find it boring at all!

[@amyrauch]

hahaha thank you for watching!!!

[@FindingCharli]

I love watching your videos because I moved up to DC from NC just last year! Stay safe as well!

[@amyrauch]

ahh what part of NC?

[@FindingCharli]

Amy Rauch From Durham!

[@curlyhairlove]

It was so nice and weird at the same time to watch this haha- I’ve been working from home for almost a week now and already miss DC so much! Hope you’re staying safe. ❤️

[@amyrauch]

hahaha agreed, i really miss the business of the city. hope you're staying safe too!!

[@Moichatterjee]

Would love to see the business-sy part of things. Most of the people in yt post stuff that's quite unrelatable (travel,travel,travel). It would be a pleasant change of scenery to see someone work as well (hope this makes sense haha). Love your videos! Xoxo

[@amyrauch]

Good to know, thank you for commenting!!

[@KatieMusser]

Love love loved this! And yes please make a video all about the business side of being a content creator! :)

[@amyrauch]

hehe coming soon

[@vahdetahodzic]

I literally said Yeeeey when I saw that you posted!! You're my new favourite KZbinr

[@amyrauch]

ahahaha yay, thank you for watching!!!

[@heydebs]

I love that you always make time for drinks and things with friends after work, I know it's sooooo hard for me haha I just wanna sleep after work

[@amyrauch]

with the time change its so much easier, it's so hard to find motivation when its already dark after work so i feel you haha

[@joannatejchma6892]

so great channel for DC lovers !! loving this parts when you're showing the streets, bars.etc ❤️

[@amyrauch]

its the best!

[@emilypage5103]

I would love for you to talk more about the brands and the type of work that you do for clients.

[@amyrauch]

noted!! :)

[@Bebelkss]

I have the same shower curtain from Target. Washed it last week and it shrunk big time 😞

[@amyrauch]

oooh no, good to know though!! thank you

[@tawanasimonestationery]

It would be interesting to see the creative side of your life. Do you have any personal projects you can share you working on? Maybe how your creative process goes? Do you sketch thumbnails, how do you pull your color palette, where do you get your inspo etc.

[@amyrauch]

yes, good idea!

[@actionwrestlingnews]

Another nice video...I’m curious how your next vlog video will go since I’m assuming you like most of us will be working at home

[@amyrauch]

lol me too, ive been filming this week but still trying to figure out how I want to put it together! it’ll be up sunday at 8am 🤗

[@lindseyflax8541]

working at the smithsonian it has been so hard to deal with it because we are close to the hill. also its just annoying because my job is 90 percent of managing front line staff. I can also work from home and do projects but this mean i cant be around my co workers and such. its super difficult especially when i dont usually work from home daily. i hope your doing okay.

[@amyrauch]

yes for sure, i totally understand that. i had a skype meeting with a lot of my coworkers this morning and it made me feel SO much better to hear/see them. hope you're staying healthy as well!!!

[@lindseyflax8541]

@@amyrauch ACTUALLY, My office mates and i decided to schedule regular morning coffee checkins before we begin our day also! just like we would in the office. its exciting! i love this trend is a thing hahaI HOPE you are staying safe amy.

[@amyrauch]

@@lindseyflax8541 omg i love that

[@elinakristin8085]

Thank you so much for sharing! x Please be all safe and stay home and don't meet up with friends although you have time now! Support your local restaurants and shops (a lot of them also have online shops and can ship to your home) and try to avoid ordering from Amazon! If we don't support our local shops right now, they will eventually have to close for ever... You could for example buy vouchers so that they still earn some money now and you can enjoy a nice meal, coffee, book, film, etc. in the future!!

[@amyrauch]

Yes, good advice! That’s what I’m doing!!!

[@bfoz]

Can we do anything?

[@elinakristin8085]

@@bfoz I don't think there can be much done right now... Listen to what your government says and if they haven't done much see what countries in Europe are doing like Germany, France, Belgium and Spain... They are ahead right now in the crisis and if you try to follow their guidelines maybe it doesn't not have to be so worse in the US. I live in a city in Germany and for now there is no lockdown but there will be if people don't stay at home on their own... We only have this weekend left to prove that we can all stay at home without an official lockdown. But if the chancellor believes that people are ignoring this serious situation then there will be a lockdown and then people will have to pay fines etc. When the police sees them walking outside! So please do your part and help the health care system by staying home! If you feel like you want to do something and help, I know that a lot of hospitals here ask for blood donations because blood donations are also needed in severe Covid-19 cases. So if you are still healthy and there is a hospital near by, you could do that. Or ask older people in your area if they need help, you could for example walk their dog or go grocery shopping for them. Or see if your local supermarket needs more employees in this crisis... Otherwise there a lot of lists with things to do while staying at home. You could also start a fundraiser for a shop that is close to your heart. :) We are all in this together so have we have to act like it and stop thinking that the only thing that matters is us.
