a productive day as a UX designer | 9-5 routine, fitness, self care + more

Omg guys that yoga class took it out me I was SWEATING Also pls ignore the new mic sound, I’m not convinced I’m gonna use it again 👀 it’s not great anyway check out xTiles with the link in my description! Also comment if I reviewed your design portfolio 💕💕 I hope you enjoyed the vlog 💕

Buy a cat? No. Adopt? Yes ❤Pros? Everything! 💖Cons? None!

Girl I have grown up with cats and the best breed you can get is anything rescued/adopted 😊

I absolutely love your videos, how they are a mix of cosy everyday life, but also educational! It was so interesting hearing you give feedback on people's designs at the end. Hope this doesn't sound too weird, but you have such a soothing voice to listen to!

Hey, so first about cats, I have grown up with cats and they have all been rescues we got as kittens, if a cat isn’t a specific breed it’s called a moggie & in my opinion they are the best, they come in all colours, tend to have less health issues than special breeds & are just adorable. My heart belongs to my cat Sparky a long haired, black & white, small bundle of pure happiness. She’s 14 now & has helped me through my hardest times. I loved your video, I’m at the very beginning of thinking about a new career & UX is definitely an interest. Thanks for sharing your journal also I love it! 💜

Omg! Thank you so much for looking at my portfolio, you are an inspiration to me and I'm so happy you did <3

Love seeing a glimpse into your day! Balancing work, fitness, and self-care is so important, and you're rocking it. Your routine is inspiring me to find more balance in my own life. Keep up the great work! 💪✨

So happy i found you again! I used to watch your videos back in 2021 when i was trying to break into UX, even though my goal was to pivot into UX Research, you really inspired me to keep going and sit down and redo my portfolio. Fast track to today, i have been working as a UX Researcher for a while now 🎉 and i am so happy here. So glad i found your channel again and I wish you all the best with the job interview as well as your job hunt. I love that, when you explained the part about making a website for your parents, you did not mention that it was a family favor, which i think is such a great move because in essence it really takes a lot of skill whether it is for a client or family, and that way the interviewer can also take it serious ✨

Hey Lily, lovely video, your cinematic videographer skills are really showing these days! You were one of the first UX designers I watched on Youtube and I've since began my journey on a UX course, I'd love if my workday could look like yours! On the note of getting a companion, I 100% recommend getting a cat but please try avoid purchasing one, as this drives the unnecessary market, when there are countless beautiful cats waiting to be rehomed. Maybe you could team up with a local charity by redesigning their website or something, which would be beneficial for you both as you could get publicity and also get unlimited play time with kittens, which would help you get to know them before taking one (or more) home :) Looking forward to seeing you and your new sidekick in more future videos! P.s your hair is stunning!!!

I’m the same way, work from home and my husband has to go into the office so I’m home alone a lot of the time. We have a cat but he doesn’t like to cuddle and mostly hangs around his cat tower, but recently we got a chihuahua puppy and she’s the biggest sweetheart. Loves to cuddle, is low maintenance, and just sleeps in my lap while I work.

this was your best video yet and I love it ❤❤

A few years back a family friend asked us if we could adopt their cat (they were fostering him and could no longer take care of him) so we did, and it's been the best decision we've even made!! In general cats can be low maintenance depending on the breed since you dont HAVE to take them out on walks, but you could if u wanted. I'd say the only con if u could even call it that, is hair balls happen quite frequently and he does it in places that are hard to reach lol, especially if you have a long-haired cat like ours haha. Tip: For any kind of pet, I'd recommend opening a new bank account just for them, 3 years ago our cat had a UT infection and he's been kept on the recommended food since, vet bills are not cheap. It's really nice just to keep their expenses separate from your personal account for food, toys/enrichment, bedding, litter etc. ALSO BEWARE IF YOU GET A RAGDOLL, THEY WON'T LEAVE YOU ALONE THEY WILL DEMAND ALL THE CUDDLES AND ATTENTION, THEY ARE VERY FRIENDLY!!! 😂😂

Really enjoyed your video keep doing what you do you are amazing❤

amazing as always Lily >.<

You’re such an inspiration! I love your content 🩷

Hey, Lily! So nice to see you shine, girl 🎉 So, there are no cons of having a cat actually (yes, some scatching here and there, maybe some hair) but actually it is more rewarding than anything. And you don't end up choosing the cat, the cat chooses you 😂 Not a crazy cat lady talking here, at all! 🤭

your vlog made my day🤍✨

Love your video as per usual, and FREE PALESTINE!

your skin is sooooo good

Keep up the great work.. Lily.. love your videos 😇
