Hi, I'm Liv! I'm an Ohio girl living in a California world with my newborn son, two dog babies and husband. I make videos on fashion, beauty, lifestyle, food, fitness, and overall health and wellness. Some of my favorite videos to make (that you'll see a lot!) are haul videos, lookbooks, try on videos, and style/beauty essentials. I LOVE to shop, socialize, hang out at the beach, and spread love & happiness. I believe life is too short to be anything other than your happiest self. Welcome! ♡

It's so hard to find d mama youtubers who also work full time. You are so relatable. Thank you for posting this video!
My baby is 8 weeks on Monday and is going through a really fussy period right now and I have mom guilt every time I get frustrated. I don’t mean to, but like you said with little sleep it is hard to appreciate. Mom life is so amazing but so much harder than I ever imagined! Thank you for being so down to earth, honest, and helpful ❤️
I honestly found this so helpful! I’m currently pregnant and I have to go back to work after my maternity leave. I have to come back and watch this!
Yes!! Thank you for this video! There are so many videos on TH-cam from stay at home moms. Not everyone has the privilege to be a stay at home mom!! I have a one month old and I am returning to work in November and have been stressing about how I will balance everything. I too work remote from home and am worried about how I will stay productive. Great tips!
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU. I followed a few other moms when I was on maternity leave with my first that were working full time and found it so helpful. Now they have the opportunity to "stay home" (TH-cam is their full time job so I am in no way taking that away from them, I can't imagine the work that goes into this content, woof). Unfortunately for me I felt suddenly disconnected with Mommy routines that involved going to Target on Tuesday or cleaning in the middle of Thursday afternoon during nap time.
You are a BOSS keeping up with both and no idea how you do it. And if you do have the opportunity to make TH-cam your full time work, that is amazing too!
I'm due with my second in 6 weeks and will have some time to catch up on your videos ❤️
Great tips. As a full-time working mom I know it can be really hard to balance all those aspects of life. I’m definitely trying to stay organized now that I’m expecting baby number two next month.
Holy shit your makeup is absolute PERFECTION ✨
It’s crazy to me how similar our situations are! I also just went back to work after my maternity leave. I work full-time from home and also take on freelance work as it comes up. I also hired a nanny two days a week. Crazy right? One thing that has helped me is to not feel guilty when I need to take a break for my daughter. It’s much better to just break to feed her or do tummy time together, because I can come baby to my work with full focus. Breaks can work wonders for productivity!
You are so real i love it. Like you are genuinely like a normal person !:) Your so good at videos an explaining everything out . Keep up the good work momma!!
I’m a working mom but I’m so thankful that I got a 1-year maternity so I weaned my daughter shortly after going back to work. She was only feeding in the morning and evening at that point anyways.
Hi, how did you manage a 1-year maternity? Seriously considering how my husband and I can do this.
3 am feedings are not going to be there forever but I am going to work forever. So enjoy this time as the baby is growing so fast . Well said !
You are so lucky you can work from home!!
Thanks for this! I'm due in the next few weeks, so I'm soaking up as much work-life as possible before maternity leave. As much as I love my job, I'm also looking forward to spending the first 3 months of life with my daughter...but then there's the inevitable return to work that I'm dreading! It's so weird how priorities and mindsets change at times like these!
Thank you for making this video!! I am expecting my first baby in February and I have been anxious/stressed about going back to work afterwards and this video made me feel so much better & gave me a better insight on how working moms get it all done, all while staying sane!! 😊
Watching this while feeding my baby and drinking my water lol!
Erika DeOcampo same 😂
yes GOALS!!! I loved this video and that you are a hard working mom with such a positive attitude.
I have to return from my maternity leave early and do my work from home so I can be with my baby, how do you get work done while also caring for your son when you are home with him?
Yay!! I’ve missed you!!! You’re one of my favorites!!!❤️❤️❤️
I'm catching up on your videos. I'm an American living in Switzerland and all the cute stuff from Target, Buy Buy Baby, etc is making me really miss home. My plan was to get my husband his greencard move to US and have a child end of next year. Oh well. I remember being told as a child "you can't plan when you have a child."
You are impressive Olivia, it is inspiring to see new moms like you getting carriers while breastfeeding and all! I am fortunate to have a full year off as I live in Canada and going on mat leave next week, but I love your tips and will remember to watch this again when time comes to go back to work full time. Thank you for your help!
Wow! You are so organized and amazing! You are like a super mom! I can relate to this. My maternity leave is almost done and I am trying to mentally get ready. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Currently pregnant with my first while working remotely full time and thinking about childcare. Thanks for sharing what’s working for you!
Love this video!! I'm a full time working mom of a 7 month old. I think overall I was pretty prepared to become a mom in most areas - but I underestimated how hard being a working mom would be!!! And I love watching these mom lifestyle videos, but it's a little frustrating watching most of them whose full time jobs are youtube vloggers (not that they aren't working their butts off too - I just can't relate as much!)
It's so hard to be relatable w/ these mom youtubers. Most people can't afford nannies. I know that I can't.
that's true but I think Olivia so much more relatable than many others. She only has a nanny a few times a week and she has a full time job that's not youtube. I feel like that's much closer to real life then other influencers. I find her so refreshing. I watched a few vlogs where both parents are full time youtubers and their routines are not relatable at all.
I feel this completely! I have been wanting to start my TH-cam channel for years now and never got to it. I just purchased my desktop yesterday and a keypad for my iPad and the desktop comes tomorrow and I will then start recording and being religious with it. I also work a full time job and have two children. One 10 year old and one new born.
I love this. I honestly thought your job was TH-cam! I'm scared to go back to work after having my baby 3 weeks ago but seeing others go through it is motivating & helpful.
Thank you for all the tips! I will have to go back to work after maternity leave so this will help a lot!
I go back to work Monday 😢. So glad you did this video. I too work some of the time from home and plan to keep him with me. Love to hear how you manage that on days w/o the nanny.
Studies show that when kids are away from their moms more than 30 hours a week then their mental health suffers but a part time career can be great. Check out the book mompowerment to find ways to negotiate, find or create part time work. It may mean that you don't get a promotion but I would hope your kids would be more important than that.
Have you known the nanny long? Or was she someone you had never met before? Because I couldn’t leave my baby with a complete stranger, even if she’s a professional nanny. I’ve heard too many horror stories.
I’m here from wonderfully ales channel! When she said that you are a “working working mom” I was like YES!!! I have a 3.5 year old and I’m having twins in June and I want to continue to work full time after I have them, how did you go about finding a remote position? Did you start off in an office and then they transitioned you? Thanks!!
Great video! Please keep content like this for work / life / baby coming! 👍🏻☺️
Then there's my son that NEVER sleeps before 1am and barely ever naps. I'm so happy that I'm fortunate to be able to afford to stay at home with him for a couple of years, because I would be a mombie
A mombie!! (I'm going to start using that one 😂) So glad you get to stay at home with him, too. I'm sure the time with him is wonderful! ❤️
you look great liv!!
This is inspiring and motivating. I have 3 months left before I quit my job. And I really wanna go and look for a better job probably a few months after birth but I’m scared if I’m gon be able to handle it. But this is very helpful. Thanks Liv
My baby was born in July, 10 weeks early, so I had to quit work due to him being immune compromised and unable to go to a daycare. What at home jobs would you recommend or how do you find at home jobs? I have a bachelors in psych and a minor in HR management.
Really helpful 👌
Work desk tour
Tho truly helped changing my mind set saying I can do this yes so true I have to try it because in my mind I always say I don’t have time to do it sounds so lazy to me know after watching this 😍😱
a lot of wonderful tips, I really liked this video. I’m a mom of a 3 year old.
What do you do with your son when you work from home the other 3 days when the nanny isn’t there? (Since you mentioned you work 40 hrs a week)
. I was wondering that too
I also work from home and I'm SO nervous about getting back into it after our baby is born in February. I definitely want to be fully present with him so I'll have to be really intentional! Great tips :)
OMG you have helped me so so so so much thank you for real
How many hours do you sleep a day ?
Man I can’t find a video for moms who don’t stay at home - work from home
I am not a mother yet when I become I really want to work at the same time take care of my children that's why I am here hehe
Can you do a video like this now that you habe 2 kids?
Hey! I remember you mentioned an app you would suggest for keeping track of diapers and breastfeeding, but I cannot find the video you talked about it. Just wondering what that name was... thank you so much in advance! Expecting our first in less then a month 😊
Hey I downloaded after she mentioned it so i know what it is. Its called Baby Tracker 😁
Amirah Muhammad thanks for your help!
I still feel guilty for not being appreciative, How do you do it and even get to bed at eight
For me, I think about how incredibly difficult it was to get pregnant in the first place- hubby and I tried for over 2 years.
I've always loved my sleep, but although I'm tired for those feedings, i think about how life was without him, and the many negative pregnancy tests, and feeling blessed to finally be able to look at his cute face 😊.
Omg I only have 45 days maternity leave
I'm not a mom but I can't survive without being organize.
