I have so much respect for you working full time, 3hr commute and managing to entertain and give us all the cosy Xmas vibes ❤ just know that it's appreciated by us all and we love your positive content xx
I agree with this comment so much respect for you Ellen as a full time worker but I find you so relatable because of this your tips spot on and have helped me so much as had to have a week off work due to burn out xx
I used to work in a spa as a beauty therapist working late and commuting all over the place London included as well as round the world. No weekends and odd days off not always 2 days together. And I fully appreciate the burn out feeling! I left my house keys in my locker twice once and has to tube back to work 2hr round trip to get them!!! I could have cried. I wish I'd have found your lovely videos then as they are so inspiring to remember to take some time for yourself and treat yourself with kindness ❤
Congrats on 25k!!! 🎉🎉 SO well-deserved! Your channel has quickly become one of my faves. Relatable, positive, authentic and your videos give me motivation and peace. Hope you can find moments of rest and reflection through the rest of your busy workdays!
@@ellenalicemiller lets analyse the lies which are world wide believed and origin from masons: lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind) lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.) lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda) lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda) lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.) lie: NASA lies (globe and all....)

This world ain´t deceived, out there to deceive?
I could so relate to your feelings and words regarding managing the work stress and letting others know when you need a pause too.. If we wont let them know, nobody would understand and they would keep on loading you with insane amount of work.. it really felt as if you were speaking my heart out ❤
Hi Ellen, I really love your videos. The darkness in the morning makes it so much harder to get out of bed and start your work day, but I feel so motivated now that I've watched this video. Now let's start my working day... :) thank you! ❤
Your video has been really helpful Ellen, thank you. My dog passed away 3 weeks ago & I'm feeling overwhelmed now we've reached December. Work is so busy & my self care routine has been slipping. Waking up at 3am worrying about my day ahead & everything I must do for Christmas is beginning to make me feel burnt out. Thank you for your helpful tips. Your tree looks beautiful. Have a wonderful week ❤x
Oh gosh I’m so so sorry to hear about your dog. I really think there’s almost nothing as painful as losing a dog. Look after yourself during this time ❤️ and remember you can say no, sometimes I need the reminder I can say no when people ask me for things or to do things I just don’t have the capacity or energy for at the moment. Sending you so much love and hugs ❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind words. I need to learn to say no. It's not my nature to do so. I'm always helping others, but I must learn to take a step back & make time for myself too. I wish work offered more flexibility to work from home as well as the office. The time it takes to commute really adds to the working day.. Hope your week goes well. Thank you ❤x
This video was a gut check for me because I didn't realize I was on the verge of burnout and that I hadn't been taking the best care of myself! Thank you for the reminder ♥
Hi Ellen, you seem to make everything so cosy even at work. I don't know how you do that. I gave myself also what more grace this weekend. A hour extra sleep in the morning and also no mint tea before bed 🙈. So glad you are doing vlogmas but what do you mean getting better? You are already soooo good. I like your vlogs sooo much, you know that. I wish you a lovely week. ❤❤❤
Your videos are so comforting and incredibly motivating, I just love watching them. I love your decor choices and such can you make a list of your favorite home purchases?❤
Thank you so much! One of my goals for the new year is to get more organised with sharing my favourite places, so I will definitely get a list together of my favourite home items ❤❤
Just want to say you thanks a lot for so such motivation and cozy vlog, it helps me not to dive in to depression way, I feel myself more alive and energetic. 💖
Ellen, you are the sweetest ever to be concerned and encouraging others as you plough through your busyness. I know seeking and applying balance is the theme of this vlog but I sense this is genuinely your character. No pretentiousness detected at all. Having a caring and hands on partner at the end of a brutal day is a valuable and soothing key to that balance. Big up and saluting Cameron 👍🏾. A year into retirement and I still feel crispy burnt but I do feel comfort in your vlogs and look forward to them. Has anyone mentioned how soothing your voice is? I find your voice and tone so comforting. You could be talking rubbish and I’d still feel AAAAH!!!!😊. As if you don’t have enough on your plate but you could easily lend your voice to audio book reading…just a thought…when you retire, maybe 😅. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Ah thank you so much - so kind of you to say. Your comment has made my day! ❤️❤️ and reading audiobooks is such a fun idea!! One for the future you never know! 🥰
Absolutely love your vlogs sweetheart ❤❤ Always really enjoy watching and catching up with you (these ones are some of my faves to watch) with a big mug of tea. Especially when it's cold and snowy outside and I'm tucked under a blanket all cosy ❤xxxx
Years ago I use to contract in London so I did a year of what you do… travelling 3 hours per day every day. It was exhausting and could never do it now. Now I do 2 days in London per month and that’s enough for me but I know I’m fortunate! If you can get away with WFH even one day then it’s a win! I’m a PM so have full empathy for what you’re going through (UAT can be a nightmare) so sending hugs! 😊
Ah thank you so much - sounds like you know exactly what we’re experiencing at the moment 😅 the balance of a couple of times a month sounds perfect! Once UAT is over I should be able to wfh a bit more 🤞🏼❤️
Hi Ellen, I have recently started watching your channel & let me tell you that I'm obsessed! Love everything from your monthly resets to your holiday vlogs and even your 9-5 work days. Sending lots of love your way from Pakistan! :)
Hey Ellen! I think one of your videos were recommended to me when you had only a couple hundred subscribers and one of your captions reeled me in and I have been watching your vids ever since. Life gets busy and I miss a fair few videos but then just when I get a moment to catch up on some of your vids (sometimes every few months!) you end up posting something so specifically relevant to my life... I have just moved out of Canary Wharf out to a village near Canterbury because I was only working in the office once a week so a long commute was doable, however now I've been told that office days are going up to 3 days a week in Jan and I'm dreading the constant 3hr round commute... I will not be defeated though 😅 Thank you for the calming advice regarding the burnout and also for making me feel slightly less panicky for not being the only one deciding to move so far away from my London job 😅 So pleased for you that your audience is growing, and congrats on the gorgeous new home! 💕
Great vlog to help others think about balance. I feel balance is important whether you work or not. It’s a matter of listening to your body as you have been and responding accordingly. Burnout is not a nice thing to experience. Have a great week and hey another week nearer the Xmas break ❤
I love your videos! You are defo in my top selection of TH-camrs! I take so much inspiration from your videos and find them so motivational and comforting to watch! Definitely going to try that delicious looking poke bowl next time I’m in the office! 😋 ❤xx
Lovely as always! You are so genuine and kind, and I love how excited you get about life, I find it super relatable and it’s a gift, don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise 🤍🤍 hope you have a wonderful week 🥰🥰🥰
I wish I could wear my cozy & comfy clothes but it was 70*F here in Texas today. It'll get really cold about the last part of December through February. I'm loving your vlogs & vlogmas
Thank you for your support and encouragement as we move through the day! 💕 Also, know you are supported and you really matter in this world ❤️💕💜☕️. Grateful!
I found your channel today, and let me tell you this: I needed to listen to some things you said. Few days ago I was about to burn out, and now I’m trying to take it easy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 good luck girl - I work in Canary Wharf as well 🤗
Do you comute every workday or do you have and option of working from home? I find that I actually sometimes even get more things done when working from home. I work as a consultant with system implementation and strategic planning as well, and before Covid I really was kind of thinking that you really have an advantage if you are at the office because a lot of important conversation kind of happened in between the meetings as well as in the meetings . You know kind of like meeting the right person by the coffee machine and checking off the thing from the list you otherwise would have to schedule a meeting for. Also my work place probably wasnt as flexible at that time. But after Covid, I think it has become much more easy to combine digital communication with onpremise. And it has become much more normal to offer flexibility in corporate setting. So now I actually am able work from home around two times a week. Of course, it depends on the project and it needs. But overall, I feel like I have much more balance in my life that way which is quite important. I randomly discovered your channel yesterday and I really like the ambiance of your videos. So cozy and relatable with a touch of elegance. So glad I found your channel ❤
Hey! Welcome 🤗 at the moment I’m commuting in every day which I find tough. I relate to everything you’ve said, I think there are so many benefits to being in the office and working from home and Covid has made the ‘hybrid’ way of working so effective. My perfect week would be once or twice in the office and the rest from home. I’m only in the office every day until Christmas and then I’m hoping next year I’ll have a bit more balance ❤️❤️
Only recently started watching your videos, which I'm loving, such an inspiration, wonderful how you are so positive. Your boyfriend must get up and out super early. Really need to invest in a light lamp, what one would you recommend?
Thank you so much! He really does 😅he’s a 5am guy - way too early for me 😂 I have the Lumie, I’ve put a link in the description. Cam has a Philips one which he also really loves ❤️❤️
Thx Ellen. Thx so much for the video. Really needed to know I am not the only one dealing with gloomy wintery days lol. It really feels like less energetic as soon as the sun goes down at 4:30pm ... Has the commute been longer since you moved to Surrey? Have a lovely week.
Yeah the commute has more than doubled 😭 it’s now about 1h30 each way. Which I don’t mind doing a couple of times a week, but every day is tough at the moment 🫣
I feel for you@@ellenalicemiller ... hopefully you can work out with your coworkers to take turns having a WFH day. Hope you are having a wonderful week ! xo
So funny you say that, we literally JUST got one - weve only used it a couple of times but it seems great! it cooks things so fast, so very handy for speedy dinners. The only downside is finding space for another appliance!
Wow, You definitely know how to organize your activities and I love the place where you work because This place has a beautiful view of the city. Yeah, The city looks great from up here and It's relaxing to see the city from those windows. 6:23 Wow, That sweater looks great on you. Thank you very much and I hope you have a beautiful day. 🏙️🏢👩💼💼👩💻👨💻💻👍🙂
I use my Dyson Airwrap as my hairdryer - its definitely better for curling than straightening i think. But it is definitely amazing at making my hair less frizzy! ❤️
How it’s possible they go on holiday without getting holiday approved? What exactly do you mean with they didn’t let anyone know????👀 Meanwhile it’s also me who is working in the office 07:00am - 19:00pm. Most of the time in busy periods 07.00am till 22:00 5/7 a week😂
Probably 15-20% of my day is planning - so a big chunk! Investing time in planing and organising has transformed my productivity. I get so much more done now. One of my fav quotes is ‘work smarter not harder’!
I do enjoy your videos, especially this one as it’s an important one re: looking after ourselves. Thank you for that. but I do have a question… why do you always have to assign gender to objects? What’s up with that? Why does a Christmas tree need to be female? It’s a bit ridiculous and unnecessary … Also, why do you have to jump on the bandwagon of saying “I’m so excited!!!” about absolutely everything?? You say it so much it makes it sound rather fake… and it does grate quite a bit…
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :) My excitement isn't fake, i genuinely love the little things in life! I have tough days too - but I will always try and look at things positively. If happiness is a bandwagon, I want to be the first to jump on it! Hope you're having a good weekend xx
Weish to have a life partner? I am alone and single boy 34?My education graduate? My life without life partner living a life? My life wait a woman as a life partner? You are accepted me my alone life? I am thankful to you? You are any questions about my life? I am reply to you?💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely love watching your videos. And those tips were great 😊 Any tips for adding in self care and avoiding burnout when working from home, not going into an office? 🫶
I think the difference between office vs home is that office gets tough because it becomes overstimulating. Home gets tough because it’s harder to create separation between rest and work. Anything you can do to make it clear when the work day is done and time for you begins is the best place to start. E.g When I work from home I always dress in ‘work clothes’ so at the end of the work day I can change into something else to try and signal to myself it’s time to chill! But I’ll do a video on my tips for working from home ❤️❤️❤️
I have so much respect for you working full time, 3hr commute and managing to entertain and give us all the cosy Xmas vibes ❤ just know that it's appreciated by us all and we love your positive content xx
Thank you - that has made my day ❤️ I really appreciate you so much! xx

Honestly love these sort of vlogs. Very motivating too. Keep up the hard work. ❤
Thank you! Will do! ❤️
I wish I could wear my cozy & comfy clothes but it was 70*F here in Texas today. It'll get really cold about the last part of December through February. I'm loving your vlogs & vlogmas
Thank you for your support and encouragement as we move through the day! 💕 Also, know you are supported and you really matter in this world ❤️💕💜☕️. Grateful!
You are so kind!! Thank you so much ❤️
I am definitely not an Abercrombie girlie but every time you wear those trousers I think I might have to invest for work. They look so comfy.
they really are super comfy! ❤️
You’re fortunate. A&F in the NYC area is mostly sweats, athleisure wear & casual. Not much office wear.
I found your channel today, and let me tell you this: I needed to listen to some things you said. Few days ago I was about to burn out, and now I’m trying to take it easy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 good luck girl - I work in Canary Wharf as well 🤗
Thank you lovely 🥰❤️
Do you comute every workday or do you have and option of working from home? I find that I actually sometimes even get more things done when working from home. I work as a consultant with system implementation and strategic planning as well, and before Covid I really was kind of thinking that you really have an advantage if you are at the office because a lot of important conversation kind of happened in between the meetings as well as in the meetings . You know kind of like meeting the right person by the coffee machine and checking off the thing from the list you otherwise would have to schedule a meeting for. Also my work place probably wasnt as flexible at that time. But after Covid, I think it has become much more easy to combine digital communication with onpremise. And it has become much more normal to offer flexibility in corporate setting. So now I actually am able work from home around two times a week. Of course, it depends on the project and it needs. But overall, I feel like I have much more balance in my life that way which is quite important. I randomly discovered your channel yesterday and I really like the ambiance of your videos. So cozy and relatable with a touch of elegance. So glad I found your channel ❤
Hey! Welcome 🤗 at the moment I’m commuting in every day which I find tough. I relate to everything you’ve said, I think there are so many benefits to being in the office and working from home and Covid has made the ‘hybrid’ way of working so effective. My perfect week would be once or twice in the office and the rest from home. I’m only in the office every day until Christmas and then I’m hoping next year I’ll have a bit more balance ❤️❤️
Thanks wishing a positive week
Absolutely love this work vlog
So glad! ❤️
Love it! It’s an important reminder to take it a bit slower in December! I love your work backpack, where is it from? ❤
Thank you! ❤️ Its from Sweaty Betty :)

Thank you ❤️
Can feel for for you regarding the commute. Commuter train + tube is really a pain.
Sometimes it’s a nightmare! ❤️
I love watching you. I use SWT too and and seems like my day lol however on top I have 2 teenagers to deal with 😂
First! 🥳🥳 Watching while I look for cheap flight combinations 😂
haha hi!! ❤️ oo exciting! i hope youre looking for flights somewhere fun :) xxx
Thank you ! You too.
Have a good Night from Madrid spain 👍
Only recently started watching your videos, which I'm loving, such an inspiration, wonderful how you are so positive. Your boyfriend must get up and out super early. Really need to invest in a light lamp, what one would you recommend?
Thank you so much! He really does 😅he’s a 5am guy - way too early for me 😂 I have the Lumie, I’ve put a link in the description. Cam has a Philips one which he also really loves ❤️❤️
Thx Ellen. Thx so much for the video. Really needed to know I am not the only one dealing with gloomy wintery days lol. It really feels like less energetic as soon as the sun goes down at 4:30pm ... Has the commute been longer since you moved to Surrey? Have a lovely week.
Yeah the commute has more than doubled 😭 it’s now about 1h30 each way. Which I don’t mind doing a couple of times a week, but every day is tough at the moment 🫣
I feel for you@@ellenalicemiller ... hopefully you can work out with your coworkers to take turns having a WFH day. Hope you are having a wonderful week ! xo
Hi, enjoyed that video thanks. Quick question: I don’t recall seeing you use an air fryer. I’m thinking about investing & wondered if you use one?
So funny you say that, we literally JUST got one - weve only used it a couple of times but it seems great! it cooks things so fast, so very handy for speedy dinners. The only downside is finding space for another appliance!
@@ellenalicemiller Thanks for that - think I’ll invest 🙂
Wow, You definitely know how to organize your activities and I love the place where you work because This place has a beautiful view of the city. Yeah, The city looks great from up here and It's relaxing to see the city from those windows. 6:23 Wow, That sweater looks great on you. Thank you very much and I hope you have a beautiful day. 🏙️🏢👩💼💼👩💻👨💻💻👍🙂
Thank you so much 🤗
Quality & filming angles 100% 🎉What cameras do you use for filming ?
Thank you!! I use a combination of my iphone 14 pro, Sony ZV-1 and my Go Pro :)
Wow busy days 😅 just love your Disney pyjamas where are they from 🤔 xx
Zara! I think the top is actually a tshirt, but I wear it as pjs 🥰
Your busy in your life but you have good content on ever video
Enjoy your Sunday wondering name of your hairdryer does it straighten well? Tks in advance for your tip.
I use my Dyson Airwrap as my hairdryer - its definitely better for curling than straightening i think. But it is definitely amazing at making my hair less frizzy! ❤️
Hi 😃 is that a Lumie alarm clock? If so could I ask which one it is as I’m looking at them, been after a Lumie for ages. Love this Vlog 🩷
Hey - yes it is! I've just popped the link in the description box to the exact one i use :)
Where is your work backpack from? Looks comfy yet practical! :D
It is! It’s from sweaty Betty but a couple of years ago - they usually do something similar though ❤️
hi love your vlogs!!! where's the backpack from pleasee
Thank you!! It’s sweaty Betty from a couple of years ago ❤️
How it’s possible they go on holiday without getting holiday approved? What exactly do you mean with they didn’t let anyone know????👀 Meanwhile it’s also me who is working in the office 07:00am - 19:00pm. Most of the time in busy periods 07.00am till 22:00 5/7 a week😂
it feels like you spend your day planning and organising your day. What proportion do you actually do work rather than organising?
Probably 15-20% of my day is planning - so a big chunk! Investing time in planing and organising has transformed my productivity. I get so much more done now. One of my fav quotes is ‘work smarter not harder’!
Awesome Ellen 😊🎉😂😂❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
What are your favourite meditation to do?
10:48 This part is exactly why you are a People Consultant🤍 You give grace & kindness, especially when the rest of the world look to direct blame.

Ellen can I get pinned comment from you please and this is the best best vlog I have ever seen on your channel and I will support you till end♥️🥺♥️🥺
Ah thank you so much for your support!! I really appreciate it ❤️❤️
How often do you have meeting at work?
it varies a lot! but probably 40-70% of my day is in meetings ❤
Does your company expense your travel? that must be expensive if not!
No unfortunately not! 😭 they only cover travel if it’s more than 2 hours away and I’m 1h30 xxx
What is a people consultant please?
wait, you have a meeting every day AT 5?? I would quit, sorry my workday ends at 5 😂
honestly outrageous isn't it 😂

Very nice madam
I do enjoy your videos, especially this one as it’s an important one re: looking after ourselves. Thank you for that.
but I do have a question… why do you always have to assign gender to objects? What’s up with that?
Why does a Christmas tree need to be female? It’s a bit ridiculous and unnecessary …
Also, why do you have to jump on the bandwagon of saying “I’m so excited!!!” about absolutely everything?? You say it so much it makes it sound rather fake… and it does grate quite a bit…
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :) My excitement isn't fake, i genuinely love the little things in life! I have tough days too - but I will always try and look at things positively. If happiness is a bandwagon, I want to be the first to jump on it! Hope you're having a good weekend xx
Weish to have a life partner? I am alone and single boy 34?My education graduate? My life without life partner living a life? My life wait a woman as a life partner? You are accepted me my alone life? I am thankful to you? You are any questions about my life? I am reply to you?💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi💋💋💋🤎
I absolutely love watching your videos. And those tips were great 😊 Any tips for adding in self care and avoiding burnout when working from home, not going into an office? 🫶
I think the difference between office vs home is that office gets tough because it becomes overstimulating. Home gets tough because it’s harder to create separation between rest and work. Anything you can do to make it clear when the work day is done and time for you begins is the best place to start. E.g When I work from home I always dress in ‘work clothes’ so at the end of the work day I can change into something else to try and signal to myself it’s time to chill! But I’ll do a video on my tips for working from home ❤️❤️❤️
