I have worked from home for the past 13 years and made a conscious decision when I started this job to do all the things you have suggested here. Get dressed every day, in something nice, comfortable but well put together. Wear jewellery, perfume and a little make up. It goes a huge way to making you feel professional and in the work zone. I am now looking forward to retirement and will continue to dress for the day whether it’s to go for a walk meet friends or simply potter about my home. It really helps mind, body and mood.
Agreed! I have been telecommuting since 2001. I have learned I work best when I dress for work- some days it’s just jeans, white t- shirt and blazer, and Converse.
I’m interested in learning about work from home jobs.. and I would even like a video about work from home opportunities!
What kind of job is it? I was an essential worker but would love a telecommute option
I do this too!
Having my morning devotions with prayer and scripture reading never ceases to uplift even though my feelings might be the opposite. It is my morning food and I am much more creative. The second is exercise, trying to include two out of cardio, stretching or core. I do agree about the jeans! I also like my jewelry. Thanks!
I’m atheist but focusing on reading & thinking the message behind the words and being grateful on positive things in my life & wishing good to everyone (praying) sounds like an amazing way to start each day! ❤️
@@CaptainPygar Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Studying the scriptures means exactly what you said. My prayer is that I carry them out! 😊❤
i really liked this video and I agree with your suggestions. The other thing I have done to avoid the "Groundhog Day" feeling is make each day have a specific purpose. So Monday is "get ready for the week" and I plan meals, get groceries, do laundry, clean up the house. Tuesday and Thursday are "creative" days", Wednesday is my "day off" etc. I'm newly retired so it was definitely a possibility that every day could just be ... relax ... and get really boring.
When one looks ‘presentable’ one feels better - important for mental health. Also these days I’m never sure if someone’s going to video call me so I need to feel that I don’t need to make excuses why I look a certain way! When I’m not doing house work, I take out my cashmere sweaters to keep me warm during these cold winter days and it gives me an uplift right away! ❤️🇨🇦
My mom has been having a terrible time being retired. She's worked like a farm mule all her life, and now she doesn't know what to do with herself. She lives in a rural area of a very small town, so things like gyms, social clubs, volunteering, senior centers, theaters, etc. are non-existent. Church and bars are the only two places where people gather around her, and she's not a patron of either. :-) :-) :-) And, she's not keen on using the internet much, so every time I try to interest her in things like starting her own book club (she's an avid reader and a former teacher) or a "girls' chat" or game night via Zoom/Facetime/Meet, or taking courses online she gets bogged down by her distaste for, and lack of experience with, the "tech" part of it. Of course, with the social distancing required by the pandemic, her isolation and sense of being rudderless has worsen. I've gifted her "counseling" and "self-help" books to guide her in reimagining and reinventing herself as a retired person, given her long-term projects to "assist" me with, helped her design a "schedule" of personal goals and tasks to accomplish daily/weekly---but she gets really excited about it, goes with the plan for a week or so, and then stops...I know it's on her to find ways to feel purposeful, and I know she should probably go to therapy to learn a "new" way of living through this new stage of life, but she won't, and I worry greatly about her...sorry, I'm blabbing. I guess your comment woke up deep-seated concerns I have about my mother. I wish I could live closer, but I'm in a different continent altogether...and to be honest, even if I were in town, I fear she wouldn't act much differently...sigh!
@@irairod5160 I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! Was her retirement planned? If people are forced to retire I think it can be very difficult. I worked as an engineer and although it was a very challenging and rewarding career, it never felt "right" for me. So I have been so happy discovering who I really want to be and the pandemic has made it even easier because all the other things I could have distracted myself have been taken away. I also live in a rural area so I do rely heavily on the internet for courses, inspiring youtube videos and just plain entertainment. If she has any interest in art I would recommend Shayda Campbell or Peter Sheeler for having nice easy videos to follow and you need minimal supplies. Jeanne Oliver also has a lot of free art videos on her site. I hope she settles into something eventually, there is such a big inner world to discover. She is lucky to have a daughter who cares about her so much!
@@katherinec3463 Thank you for your kind words. I know, in my heart, that the problem is that my mom does not know who she is apart from what she's done for others all her life. She's never allowed herself to think, "What do I want? What am I interested in? What makes me happy?" She's told me, outright, that she doesn't have any dreams or hopes for herself, no passions to pursue, nothing she wants to explore. She knew retirement was coming, yet she made no plans for her late years. Now that she feels no one needs her, it's like she wishes she could stand still and wait for the day she dies. It's BIG TIME depression, I know, but she won't admit to it or seek help. I've tried to convince her to come stay with me for an extended period of time, but she won't do it. I've faked needing her as a travel companion, for home remodeling projects, for assistance managing a home-based tutoring business I have (things that I know are of her interest, and she'd be EXCELLENT at) but she always finds an excuse not to partake. She's totally given up, and I'm crushed about it. I've even considered leaving my career and moving back where she is to see if I can infuse her with some zest for living, but I think she'd see through it and feel so guilty that it'd make things worse. Sorry to have hijacked this discussion about being chic at home...I guess I'm thinking of "home"--in its more expansive meaning--today. I truly appreciate your comforting words and the suggestion about the classes you've enjoyed. I will keep trying...and will remain attentive to, and hopeful for, my mom's wellbeing! Sending you best wishes--IR
@irairod Just to add one more voice about the struggle to find ones place in retirement there are retirement coaches. Due to the pandemic most work via video/phone. It might be a nice option for your Mom. Less intimidating than therapy. I am considering it as a second career as I retire from my first career as well.
I really needed this video today 💕
As a long-term sufferer of CFS/ME, lockdown-esque life is my constant reality.
It’s helpful to have reminders that no matter how weeks at a time you stay home without company, routine, creativity, and self-care are all important for maintaining good mental health.
Thanks Audrey xx
Something I’ve found really helpful while WFH and trying to switch off at the end of the day is to put some great music on while I’m cooking and sing and dance along! It helps to shake off your ‘work mode’ and decompress before the evening
Ah yes to jewelry! Even in my coziest clothes, I always add jewelry it makes a huge difference. Thank you as always for another beautiful video! xx
I agree with the jewellery and make up but never the pajamas. I also stay out of the lounge room all day until evening. So I use one room for the daytime and another for the evening, it helps to relax more. Xx
I missed you, Audrey. Your videos are an oasis of peace, tranquility, and creativity in a world that is filled with everything that is not.
You’re definitely onto something, Audrey. 19 years ago I had a horrible accident which ended my nursing career. Along with not being able to go to work and see my peers, It also severely limited my social interactions. I knew at the beginning, that if I did not put my well-being first, I would not survive. As a human beings, we need to nurture not only our bodies but also our mind and spirit. I make a point to nurture those three parts of myself every day. Physically, by eating right, by doing what little exercises I can. Also by getting up in the morning and getting dressed. For myself, that means, in yoga pants and a favorite T-shirt or sweater, some thing that makes me feel good. I also put on my jewelry, it makes me feel joyous, because there is usually a memory attache to each piece of jewelry. It is also important to feed our minds, whether that’s reading, watching RUclips videos on style, art, or anything that stimulates your creativity. We are also spiritual beings. Some thing that taps into that part of you is essential for our daily routines. For me it’s reading my Bible and being out in nature. For some, it may be meditating or reading the Quran. What ever it is that helps you connect on a spiritual level is important to do every day. Especially first thing in the morning because it focuses you for the rest of the day. Thanks Audrey for making this vlog because without self care we are not reaching our full potential during this already difficult time. Blessings to you all.
God bless you too!
Thank you Audrey. (1) confortable clothes (not PJS all day long) (2) healthy food (3) daily beauty routines(4) some excercise (5) a good connection between mind and body (I meditate, paint and knit). Have a wonderful week. 🦋🌷🙏
Your outfit looks so comfy and still pulled together...inspiring me to up my loungewear game! I've found that just washing my hair and getting ready, even if I am wearing pajamas does wonders for my mood and productivity! Thanks for the soothing video! :)
Petition for a video on elegant college outfits. Audrey approved!
P.S:love you a lot!
Yes... I am going back to college as a 28 year old. I wonder if my "grown up " clothing will be too much. I would like to find a way to tone it down without looking too too casual and end up wearing crop tops🤣!
I always dressed up in college 10 years ago. It was fine in Korea(10 years ago) but in Canada ppl kept asking if I'm going to a party if I wear heels and skirts 😂 that was just me every day!
From the beginning of the quarantines I have forced myself to get dressed daily. There most defiantly a mind body connection to productivity when you are dressed for a successful day. If I stay in jammies or even loungewear for the day it usually feels like a lost day many times
I agree with you on everything you have said. My mom rules: no pyjamas during the day, nice clothes even at home, light make up and some work around the house, she always says it is good for the health and for the brain. 🌹🌹🌹
Happy valentines.
The quality of this video is so good. Love the intro with the water bottle. Audrey looks beautiful. I'm inspired.
I can confirm everything you said about feeling better physically and mentally, Audrey. I'm 57, unemployed for over a year now, covid restrictions... Every single day I dress "nice", put on makeup, do my hair, put on a necklace/earrings. I found early on that it gives me a routine, I feel "ready" (I tell myself, "just in case a delivery man comes to the door and sees me", haha) and I am less a sloth and actually get things done around the house. Maybe on the weekends I'll actually hang out in my pj's a little longer, but never all day.
All wonderful ideas which I've been doing since this began. I have depression and anxiety, and the ritual of getting dressed every day, fixing my hair and putting on makeup, has been comforting. I have a fairly small wardrobe so there isn't much to play around with, but I have several pieces of jewelry to add a different touch to my outfits. The other thing that has been helpful for me is giving myself a manicure every week (I think I'm keeping Zoya and Londontown in business!). Even though I have rather knobby, arthritic knuckles it's still nice to see pretty polish on my nails. Walking every day even in freezing temperatures has also been hugely beneficial. Thank you for all your lovely videos, Audrey, and for being honest about your own experience during this difficult time.
I've gotten dressed everyday since the first lockdown. No PJs in the daytime here. I need that distinction between work and rest.
Omg is anyone watching this midday in their pajamas too feeling that lightbulb go off in their head 😂 💡 thank you for all these tips, totally resonates with me!
Thank you Audrey. I truly appreciate your honesty about the challenges we all feel with our “new normal.” Take care.
Love this! Super practical (I totally agree - I feel infinitely better when I get dressed and put on jewelry, even on days when I don't leave the house) and such a BEAUTIFUL video to watch. I always love and appreciate the detail shots you include, Audrey. They are so soothing and inspiring. Thank you!
I LOVE your approach to videos! I was expecting you to share tips about which clothing cuts to wear or how to style your hair, but this was so much better. When I think about when I feel on my least chic days, I’m frazzled and all over the place. These tips about being comfortable and caring for yourself from the inside-out are the best pieces of advice ❤️
Great video!
To add another suggestion: lipstick and blush go a long way to perk up a lagging mood. I wear it just for myself at home. For work, I wear a mask 9 hours a day and I miss lipstick and blush so much. Although, being makeup free has been incredibly beneficial, too.
Thank you for a sunday treat!
Hello Audrey! Getting out of PJs really helps with getting motivated, feeling productive and getting things done! Another thing that is a game changer for me is putting on some perfume for myself! It can bring back nice memories and the nice smell can boost my mood a lot ^^
Thanks a lot for sharing your tips! :))
I also find perfume to be really helpful. I wear bright, citrusy, or light florals during the day to keep me alert, and musky or oud base scents in the evening to help wind down. Also I use peppermint, orange, and fir scents from diffusers to scent the house during the day. It makes such a difference in my mood!

Loved this video! I've found my perfect outift is yoga pants, a gym top, and a matching button down shirt. Paired with a necklace and Chelsea boots. It means I can workout or stretch at a moment's notice, but I also feel put together and mature
That soft grey looks amazing on you, Audrey!
Great video! Getting dressed every day is key for me to feel empowered and motivated, too! I still wear my silk blouses and trousers, put on lipstick and it fires me up! 🖤😘
Natural fibers are to be the healthiest
You must not have pets...

Thank you for sharing Audrey. Your kindness and recommendations during this time are so helpful. Always love your presentations. Also your focus on a way of being without overconsumption but emphasizing what really matters in life and quality over quantity.
I've animals that need care, no pajamas for me that way. Minus 20 Celsius in pajamas is not a good idea XD Creativity is what keeps me going, these times are so different from the past that using my creative mindset is what keeps me happy. Thanks for your heads up advice.
I really needed this video. I have a bunch a comfy sweats in my shopping basket and I was ready to look like a trash bag at home, thank you!! 😂😘
I love how dainty and calming you are to listen to
This was so point! I've been ignoring getting ready some mornings and that has a real impact on my mood! This video was the impetus I needed to change that!
I look forward to your lovely videos every week. They always make me want to take more care and be mindful of even the smallest things that bring me a lift. Wearing some "shine" is a great idea to feel more like one's usual self. One video idea I was thinking of for you was an all black and white clothing video since that's supposed to be a coming trend. You hang in there, we need you. 😊
*sheepishly admits to watching your video while still in my pajamas... couldn't agree more with your message, Audrey!
Lol! I’m yoga pants and a tank top. More than just exercise clothes! Also great for pajamas and hanging at the house! Talk about clothing with multiple wearing opportunities!🤣
I really agree with the creativity connection....I paint, and if I take a break from it, especially if it’s a two week break, for example after a long period of painting, I eventually feel as though something is missing and I know I NEED to get back to it
Such fantastic content. So relaxing, so supportive, no judgement, just a recognition that we're all finding things different or tough and some practical tips on how we could improve things. Thank you.
Yes I totally agree with you. I noticed how my attitude and my creativity got better when I’m dressed better than even when working at home 🥰
I’ve been struggling to be productive lately with the weather being so solemn, love this video, Audrey! 💕
I’ve never owned “leisure wear” and putting together my outfit every day is an important focus for me. This even during COVID and even though I am retired. My problem is sometimes dressing too formally for my circumstances.
At least you look amazing!
@@_inflection3209 Probably not amazing, but at least not a hot mess! Like Audrey, putting outfits together is sort of creative playtime for me.
My mom always taught me it's better to be overdressed than underdressed!
😄
...I was always that girl or woman that was a bit " overdressed', which was fine with me.....Now that I am over 55, I do tend to wear more comfortable things around home...nice leggings, and nice sweaters or layered looks, such as a nice camisole or tank top and a nice shirt over top. ( I live where it is COLD, right now its -3 degrees out )so I am staying warm , even if I am inside ,because I get cold quite easy, lol.
such an uplifting video 🤍 thank you audrey, you’re an absolute gift to the world.
I love and appreciate all of your videos, this one is precious and super helpful. Thanks so much for all that you do!
Love the examples you gave and totally agree!
You have a beautiful soothing voice.... all my life I've been told I have a beautiful, soothing voice....told very positive things, it's very rare to hear a voice like yours and you're very beautiful too
I just had a binge of your videos, it’s so nice that we share the same state.... lovely videos
I tend to fix my hair nicely and wear comfy leggings and a nicer sweater during the day. Its comfortable but I dont feel like I'm forgetting to take care of myself.
Great idea! I always feel good when I've done my hair. I'm going to follow your lead :)
That's my go-to for working at home.
That's exactly what I wear. Plus, I always wear earrings.
Great video Audrey! I'm re-inspired to pay more attention to myself, it's so easy to lapse in this strange time!
Oh wow, I noticed that whenever I create that boundary between what mode am I in, either studying, working, or lounging does make a difference in my mood as well as my mindset to do what is needed for me to do... These tips are very helpful
Love all these ideas, thank you for another great video! I enjoy putting on makeup, purchased a new eye palette and I’ve been experimenting with it recently. Have a beautiful Sunday!
👏🏼👍🏼😊☀️
I have changed everyday from PJ’s into clothing & you are correct it makes you feel more productive, at weekends I wear lounge wear 🇬🇧❤️xx
Needed this today! Off to get dressed!
I made the habit to exercise with RUclips every morning while still in my pjs, so I always get it done, no excuses. I also find that trying to stick to a regular schedule of regular meals with no snacking and a regular bedtime also helps me feel better. Getting outside in the early afternoon, if it’s warm enough, is also good.
Thank you for this video! I loved it! FYI, I fell in love with that glass water bottle.
I need a podcast Audrey! I could listen to you for hours💕
Thank you for this wonderful advice!
Every day I become more thankful that I do still attend a workplace. I truly do not think I could cope working from home so even though I am still alone all day and have concerns about my current role attending the office is a huge plus.
Have been waiting for a video for at home! Yay!
Kudos to all of you around the world who have been in prolonged lockdown. Can’t imagine how you do it. We have only had two very short episodes of lockdown (a few days each) here in Perth, West Australia since Jan 2020. Hardly any local cases ( nearly all our cases from returned residents in quarantine since April 2020). Life for everyone is completely normal here, except for hand washing and 1.5 metre social distancing, but we had a hard border until Xmas 2020, so almost no one got in or out of our State, including other Australians. It has kept us safe, and Covid free as a population of 2.5 million, but we do appreciate how lucky we have been, and our sympathies go out to all of you everywhere having to do it so tough. Best wishes everyone. Great video as always Audrey.
That was interesting. Thanks for sharing about life in your part of the world! Writing from SW Idaho, USA
Love these tips Audrey! X
Hi Audrey,
I get dress everyday with casual clothes. When I have classes on Zoom I wear jeans and a nice sweater or top. I also wear my jewelry to coordinate with my outfits. I read and practiced knitting and cook everyday for myself and husband. I agree with everything you said it can be so easy to stay in our sleepwear and do nothing. But, the end results can cause sloppiness and even worse depression. Every Sunday I also bake a cake and share a slice with my neighbors on the floor. Just to see their appreciation and smiles on their face makes me happy (of course with social distance and mask on). Hang in there and keep creating these beautiful videos it gives me something to look forward to. This weekend my literature class required that we watch the movie “A Roman Holliday” with Audrey Hepburn and I must say there is a striking resemblance you looking like her. Can you also talk about home decor, reading and movies recommendations? I love that water bottle where can I get one? As for this Pandemic, this to shall pass. And let’s us all hang in there and be grateful for what we have. God bless you all
So helpful. I am so happy whenever there's a notification for your videos. 💙💙💙
This video was really needed. Thank you. 🤗
I agree with everything you said and from the beginning of this pandemic, I vowed to myself not to get out of my normal routine, but create a new routine instead. When I wake up, I put on clean coordinated lounge wear I keep close to my bed, grab a cup of tea and watch the news shows as I walk up. I then do my chores around the house, take a long walk, (exercise w/ hand weights, Yoga poses) and come back to take a shower, put on full make up and if I have to go out, I am dressed for that. A few days a week, I have started to do my seasonal tax job, which also gets me dressed and is a good routine for having a destination to go to, other than CVS or the grocers. When I am not working, I like to read or do something creative or organizing like (closets, drawers, etc.) I always cook from scratch, so there is that, then an evening relaxing with husband, after that wash up, do my skin care regime and change for bed. I never stay in my PJs, not even once. Thank you Audrey for those tips, I always forget to drink my water, but I am trying to do it. It use to be so easy when I was going to the gym everyday and carrying around a water bottle. I love your pretty water bottle, maybe I need something like that to motivate me. :-)
Hair, makeup, eyebrows - looking wonderful
Girl you’re literally the best
Thank you Audrey, I'm going to turn 59 and I adore what you are doing. Keep doing what your called to do!
I love when you do videos Audrey.
Loved this! So helpful 🙏🏼
Another great vid!!!Thanks!
Love this. Thank you. ♥️👍
Up early out and about walking with a dog great for feeling good in our total lockdown. As long as we stay local it’s allowed
Your hair looks extra fabulous and gorgeous here!
I literally searched how to look put together at home and this popped up.
Loved this! 💜
Thanks for this timely video. These tips will apply on weekends for me since I started a new job at the end of December. Thanks for the reminder to drink more water. 😁❤️
I love the sweater you're wearing in this video! I could definitely make it a part of my life. Great video!
Needed this!
Great message to share
I now have soft comfortable yet stylish tops
Like a sweatshirt with puffed sleeves or soft stretchy jeans very comfortable yet stylish
I hunt down a seat by the sunshine
Always makes me smile
Beautiful ideas, very nice outfits ideas! ❤️
Love you and your videos so much ❤⚘
I like your outfits more and more: still very simple and minimal but different colours and shapes. I live in the Vancouver area in Canada and spring is definitely in layering: Jacket or trench coat then cardigan or sweater then in the afternoon (in a sunny place) blouse or tee shirt....I love stripes so for me: all year long!!!
Loved everything you advised and I’m fixated on your opening water bottle. So beautiful! Where did you get it?
You have the most soothing voice!
Thank you Audrey, I agree with you.... I have hard times not being able to sing in my choir that I love so much. No sound comes out of my throat for months. I am very sad
Great video and a good reminder. I’ve recently only putting on my yoga clothes when I’m ready to workout. And for me I still feel underdressed wearing yoga clothes to run errands and such. It that’s just me.
Wearing pants with a waist keeps me from over eating.😂. Also, I definitely feel more productive when I wear “real” clothes.
I've been working from home since I was 18 (26 now) and I've basically lived in my pajamas since I'm a huge introvert. I've never bothered fixing my hair and I don't wear make-up either. I'm starting to finally change that and trying to get into well made fancier lounge wear instead of PJ'S
I wish I look that great in gray. And your hair is wonderful, the waves really suits you.
Enjoyed this video and all the comments. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🤗
As usual great video. But I absolutely loved your colour combination series. Can you please make a video on how to wear tricky warm colours like yellow and orange. Especially for odd olive skin tones such as mine?
Great suggestions, Audrey! All common senses but we all need some reminders about not wasting our lives away.
Yoga definitely, getting some/any creative work done (using the "5 minute" approach a LOT lately), and, oddly, planning for feast days all help. It's wicked cold here now, but my daughter and I try to get out to hike (we are refused entry to the state that has our favorite mountains, but we have found a couple of nice hikes in our home state). The sound on your video is awesome, how do you get such perfect audio? Really enjoyed this video, thank you!
Hi Audrey! Lovely video as always! Might you happen to have any advice for selecting the proper frames for sunglasses/ good classic, timeless styles? Seeing as we'll probably be seeing more sun out as spring rolls in?
Thank you for these ideas❣. I just put on some jewelry and feel less drab and blah ☺
Where is the grey sweater from
I would love it if you made a video with tips for how to wear an item that doesn't really fit with your wardrobe, but has sentimental value so you want to incorporate it. An example is heirlooms - I have a scarf that was my grandma's, but it isn't my usual colour or style.
I also like to change when I'm working from home. The mind shifting is real! and the jeans tip is excelent, but only if the weather allows it. we're in summer where I live and I can't even think of putting on a pair of jeans without sweating lol
Thanks Audrey💞 lovely video!
For me, I love wearing loungewear however- it encourages me to not go outside for days! So every few days I’ll wear jeans (and a bra😆!) then I’m much more likely to go on an impulsive walk around the local park 🌷🌷
Great suggestions! Easy to be stuck in lounge mode these days but then you actually feel worse and get out of good habits and healthy routine.
I definitely dress. Comfy of course but clean lines. My eyebrows and lips a must if only that. Helps when I catch a glimpse in the mirror.
I don't know but I do want that water bottle. It's SO BEAUTIFUL
Great video! Would love to know where you got your water bottle please.
