    For me personally, I can say I came for the 9-5 content but stayed for the gal! You could post literally anything and I’d watch it now, your personality is fun and I can relate a lot to your life, so it’s nice to see what other people my age are getting up to outside of work.

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      omg 🥺 thank you so much

  • @paigepanek3016
    @paigepanek3016 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I've stayed because we've consistently been in the same phase of life since I found you in college, and it's honestly so calming to be able to watch somebody else experiencing similar things/thoughts at the same time! Struggling with work/life balance is something I'm also currently navigating, so I would be interested to see different things you try in that regard and what works for you (e.g., taking daily walks, no tech after a certain time, plans with friends a certain number of times per week, etc.).

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i think my next vlog is going to be entirely dedicated to that!!!

  • @jen_blues
    @jen_blues ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Very into all things DC! Routines related to the 9-5 too like before/after work routines to stay sane or outfits & things. Totally respect boundaries related to work info!

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      oooo yes, love the idea of routines. thank you!!

  • @Ruchita_G
    @Ruchita_G ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I'm 20 years older than you and in a completely different phase of life, but I like any type of videos you make! Totally understand needing to keep work stuff separate. Leo content is always great too! 😊

  • @user-th9ig4hk7c
    @user-th9ig4hk7c ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The reason I like this channel is because I like seeing how you lived in a small space, dealt with a busy 9-5, minimalism apartment tours, coffee runs, and of course Leo the cat. X ( oh and make-up declutters - loved them !!)

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว

      oooo yes the makeup declutters, i think my collection has gotten so small there isnt anything left to declutter

  • @kassandrawithak
    @kassandrawithak ปีที่แล้ว +11

    It's your channel you should definitely post whatever you want! I love your work vlogs but it would be amazing to see what you do outside of work as well! I've always struggled with a work/life balance so i'd love to see how you take time away from your job. We're all here for YOU and not just your job :) I'd honestly watch anything you post! 💕

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว

      excited to share more with you guys soon!

  • @catherinezimmerman1385
    @catherinezimmerman1385 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    i came for 9-5 content but would love to see more DC/lifestyle content! i love your vlogs too, it’s just nice to see how other people in their 20s keep balance with work

  • @melanyelizondo3969
    @melanyelizondo3969 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Would love more lifestyle and dc content! You have a relatable personality and are so real about things! Nice to see someone in their 20s navigate life post grad

  • @danikamcnair288
    @danikamcnair288 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    the story about locking yourself out of your apartment is the MOST relatable. That is 100% something I have done and most definitely would do again and it’s nice to know others are in the same boat LOL

  • @briannag.1122
    @briannag.1122 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I found your channel because I relocated out of DC and it’s been so refreshing to watch someone in the season of life I was in while I lived in DC. Makes me miss it SOO much but it’s so great to see you living your life and navigating that big, beautiful city. I love it and I’m excited for more content DC content and vlogs about lifestyle and happenings in the city. Whatever you want to show, I’m here for it!

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว

      ahh love that, its the best city!!! congrats on your move though, a fresh start is always exciting

  • @salenarichardson2766
    @salenarichardson2766 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I found your channel because of the DC content. The fact that you do have a 9 to 5 makes your content more realistic to me, but it’s not the only reason I subscribed. Post anything you want to and enjoy yourself with your channel!

  • @jbdjbd8922
    @jbdjbd8922 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Im here because of the way you intelligently express yourself. If your content stays the same or changes, its a win win for me!

  • @WanderThisWay
    @WanderThisWay ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I personally like watching your channel because you're a "part time" creator who does have a real 9-5 job. I don't watch your videos for content explicitly about work. I like supporting part-time creators because you're more relatable, rather than people who only make youtube videos for a living (and are usually out of touch with reality).

  • @ervinsmoviecorner8748
    @ervinsmoviecorner8748 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Welcome back and nice to see you, Amy!❤❤

  • @jeannelle_
    @jeannelle_ ปีที่แล้ว

    I'll watch whatever you post. Post what you want, share what you want to share, and do you! Love your videos!

  • @amypeterson1445
    @amypeterson1445 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I totally understand you wanting to create more separation between vlogging and your job. Like others said, your content will still be much more relevant to us because you still *have* a 9-5 (even if we’re not seeing it). Sometimes it’s hard watching people who don’t have to think about that balance and scheduling. You create amazing videos, and we’ll be here with you as you and the videos evolve 💕

  • @gillyuk1013
    @gillyuk1013 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Personally, I’m here for Amy’s fucked up wood shop. Hanging around, ever hopeful 😉

  • @lindseyflax941
    @lindseyflax941 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ive stayed because I lived in D.C. for a year and wanted to see what its like for a 9-5 girlie.Also love how your apartment is coming together. Get some plants and your are set!

  • @TiffKing
    @TiffKing ปีที่แล้ว

    Go ahead and create whatever boundaries you need to have peace of mind. I started watching for DC lifestyle content since I hope to live there soon. So I'm fine with before work/after work activities. But you do whatever feels the most comfortable for you. We're drawn to your personality and authenticity.

  • @shannon3894
    @shannon3894 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve been a subscribers since the dorm tour era so a change in content is fine for me. I’m not from the DC area or live in a city so that stuff specifically is not entirely my vibe but will still always watch!

  • @amnaabbas8879
    @amnaabbas8879 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Random comment but I’m obsessed with your hair color!! It really brings out your eyes and it looks incredible on you! So glad you’re back!

  • @josieanderson4887
    @josieanderson4887 ปีที่แล้ว

    I started watching because of the fact that you live in DC!! Would love more DC-based content :)

  • @MaggieMeyersMakeup
    @MaggieMeyersMakeup ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love your videos! They are relaxing and I wish I lived in DC, it's my favorite place. So seeing such a cool person like you live your life is so fun. Don't feel like you have to show your job, jobs are what we do, not who we are ❤️ Also the elf brow lift gel is so good if you want to try something different.

  • @ava.tings1306
    @ava.tings1306 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If ppl at work watch your videos and your concerned about being able to share work things on your channel in fear some one may see it, interpret it wrong or whatever, don’t talk about it on your channel! Boundaries are ok! Do what’s best for you… unapologetically ❤

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you for watching regardless!

      absolutely horrific experience

  • @myrnamontiel4042
    @myrnamontiel4042 ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly I watch to see the city, I live in Mexico so is very different and beautiful. I like routine dynamic videos just as an inspiration to bring structure to my routines. Not necessary to copy but sometimes you get new ideas from watching other people.

  • @hutthuttlife731
    @hutthuttlife731 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think I originally started following you for the 9-5 content but I stayed because I enjoyed your videos overall. Film whatever makes you happy! I know it can be hard to balance the work/life balance. It is also a huge pet peeve if people are consistently/intentionally late. I do my best to not be late myself because it irritates me.

  • @C_Beaty
    @C_Beaty ปีที่แล้ว

    I definitely understand the need to put up firmer boundaries between your channel and your 9-5. If you move into more DC-centric content, I'd love to hear about local restaurants and other places you like to visit. I work really close to where you often film and would be delighted to find more non-chain restaurants/bars for lunches, happy hours, etc.

  • @faith.92048
    @faith.92048 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love your videos Amy I have been having a lot of growing pains as well. I highly agree that it is just part of being in your mid twenties. I struggle with words when I need to have a difficult conversation with someone because I never want to offend or hurt someone. I also struggle with caring so much about what others think of me which is definitely hard to get over . It’s hard being a people pleaser.

  • @lizg597
    @lizg597 ปีที่แล้ว

    I moved away from DC at the end of my 20s and I come to your channel for nostalgic purposes! I love your filming style, too! ❤

  • @erindrazdzinski9674
    @erindrazdzinski9674 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree with the other comment about finding you because of the 9-5 but staying for you! I like watching people w a 9-5 even if they don’t show anything work related just because the time outside of work is more relatable!

    im sensing some virgo vibes lol, believe in yourself and your abilities :) Show the car even if it's not "perfect" to you, post the makeup routine without comparing to anyone else! See the light within yourself - your essence is divine. Don't let the head get into the way

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว

    @jpreacher66 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I enjoy your content and have been watching your videos for some time now not realizing I haven't subscribed yet, lol. I remediated that now. But tbh, I enjoy more of your content that is more outside your 9-5 job like your APT tours, hauls, coffee runs, cat appearance (which there should be more of bc Cats rule!!!), but anything you put out is enjoyable and I will continue to watch. Looking forward to what videos you put out in 2023.

  • @rebeccacartier153
    @rebeccacartier153 ปีที่แล้ว

    Omg… being late is a huge pet peeve for me. I agree it’s hard to keep boundaries between your work and not work life, I work in the service industry and I love all my coworkers, and they always want to hang out and do stuff together. But I’m more introverted and feel like I need my own alone time, but I don’t want to offend or hurt anyone’s feelings…

    • @amyrauch
      @amyrauch  ปีที่แล้ว

      oooo yeah, ive deff had to relearn boundaries with hanging out with coworkers outside of work. always so tough

  • @skid127
    @skid127 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tend to watch your more lifestyle content tbh, I love home content too. I came for the dc 9-5 but thats no longer my life, so I've stayed for the other stuff!

  • @happyfeet97100
    @happyfeet97100 ปีที่แล้ว

    I honestly love any content you put out, so it doesn't have to be about your 9 to 5 all the time.
    Side note: were you soft-launching something (or someone 👀) or did I miss something?

  • @gosheryblog

  • @natalieanni1765
    @natalieanni1765 ปีที่แล้ว

    What about just a fairly simple shift in that rather than calling it "work week in my life" you call it "week in my life". The focus shifts to a more general view rather than all about your work life. That way you could incorporate DC content, home content and also still involve generic worklife rather than honing in on your specific job and company (to be honest I'm not so interested in that but more enjoy the routine of work week videos!) Hope this makes some degree of sense !

  • @jean5833
    @jean5833 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did originally find you from the 9-5 content but I feel like it’s totally reasonable to “block out” work from a daily vlog. Even seeing the lifestyle around having a 9-5 fits that audience without actually showing anything at work. Just seeing vlogs from someone who has to do normal things like get up and get ready for work is different than so many vloggers.
