A week in My Life in NYC: Getting Organized for Fall
Welcome to another day in the life vlog! ✨FALL IS ALMOST HERE so it’s time to get organized and get my life in order. I have SO MANY things I want to share with you: life updates, unboxing my new camera (OMG IT’S PERFECT), and organizing my life are all top of the list. Come along and spend a week with me!
If you’ve been wondering what I did after turning 30, I’m spilling the beans in this end-of-summer vlog. I kicked off a new decade of life with a BIG purchase. I took the plunge and got myself the Fujifilm XT-4 camera that I’ve been swooning over for years. If you watched last week’s video, you know I turned the big THREE-OH and was contemplating this as a present for myself! Spoiler alert: I got it! I have been in such a creative place lately and this camera is truly adding fuel to the fire. 🔥In today’s vlog, I chat through all the reasons why I’m in LOVE with this camera, but in short, it’s truly the best vlog camera for the style of content that I create! I also love the 16mm lens I got with it.
My WHOLE LIFE is currently in order! Over the past few months, I’ve been trying to get my life together and I feel like I’ve finally arrived in a good place. I dove head-first into Notion, a task management platform. When I say I’m officially a Notion girly, I mean that wholeheartedly. I migrated all of my iPhone lists that used to live in a cluttered mess on the Notes app and organized it all inside of Notion. Everything from Milo’s feeding schedule to my “need to watch” to my “things to remember” dump. This is the first time in my life that I’ve been this organized and I LOVE it! This all stemmed from meal planning and prepping with my meal prep coach, Elia. She has helped me truly take inventory of what I have and shop with purpose.

In this video, I break down exactly how I use Notion for EVERY part of my life! One thing that has been a game-changer is my Notion fridge/freezer inventory. I also have a Notion template for my weekly meal plan. I use these templates to track exactly what food we have at home so that I can shop and meal prep accordingly…using up everything we have and buying only what we need. I recently placed a grocery order where, for the first time in my life, I knew how I planned to use every single item. 🤯

In summary: new camera, new organizational systems, and I’m feeling like a whole new version of Lucie! I hope you enjoy this casual chat as I walk you through my big life updates!
