haha "Chloe ting because I love pain" yes girl I feel ya 😂I loooove your vlogs so much! You really inspired me to get back into vlogging and now doing so for work days because it totally can be interesting and it's so relatable. It's so easy to feel like where does the time go all the time but vlogging helps remember and show for it haha.

[@amyrauch]

You could also try to get sponsored by EveryPlate! Same company but slightly cheaper/simpler meals; maybe they could see it being better for people in their 20s and get you that sponsorship. PS eating a bagel on a gloomy Sunday watching this is so relaxing lol

[@amyrauch]

yes! i actually worked with them a few months back and really liked it. ive just been testing out all the services/taking advantage of intro offers hahaha. also, jealous of the bagel

[@mayarahman9995]

*As someone who films vlogs on their phone, what's your routine for keeping all the footage organized and to not allow it to take up storage space on your phone?*

[@amyrauch]

i primarily film on a camera! otherwise just delete the clips when you are done using them!

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Love these vlogs!! So casual but fun

[@amyrauch]

hahaha i feel like they are so boring but thank you thank you

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

[@amyrauch]

LOL outdoor clothes are a struggle

[@valeriehou2689]

hey amy! (literally disregard my username lol) but im natalie and i just moved to arlington as a freelance graphic designer and was wondering if you had any tips on companies in the area to look out for? currently working remote for 2 agencies in NYC for now in the fashion and lifestyle industry

[@amyrauch]

[@deejers]

my cat has never taken treats, she eats food from her bowl and that's it lol

[@amyrauch]

lol they are so picky!!

[@fannyortiz9493]

That was a delicious looking sandwich

[@amyrauch]

[@gracem9916]

So you don’t think Georgetown is worth visiting? (I’ve never been I just think it’s absolutely gorgeous)

[@amyrauch]

no, it 100% is! it’s a beautiful part of the city but in my opinion it’s not somewhere I go too often just because there aren’t a ton of restaurants/things to do that I haven’t tried yet. but the waterfront is beautiful and is great to walk around if you’re visiting!

[@gracem9916]

Amy Rauch okay thank you! I subscribed loved your vid!

[@maddiearmona3468]

So what do you do for work?

[@amyrauch]

i'm the senior graphic designer for a commercial real estate agency!

[@Aleci]

Do you think it’s necessary to have a car in DC? 🤔

[@amyrauch]

no!!! the metro is great

[@gingin1050]

You look like you could be Julia Havens little sister😉
