I didn’t mean that you were going to be fired! But these mandates are something companies have been doing to eliminate staff without having to pay severance!
My company did this earlier this year and it was SUCH a hard transition for me 😭 I have no advice on how to make it easier, because it's still hard, but I genuinely love this job so I deal with it. 😭😭
You have a great attitude about being in the office five days a week. I would be devastated for at least a bit. But you’re right about things happen for a reason.
Try washing your face, instead of the pad / product method. Usa a senstive skin cleanser, I use on from Mad Hippie. It is so kind to your skin and you skin feels so good after. Consider buying inexpensive thin wash cloths. I use 2 if I have daily makeup on and 3 if I have a bit more. Your skin might truly do better. :)
Hi Lucia, do you find most of the breakouts are on one side of your face? If yes, is that the side that is in contact with the pillow when sleeping? Sometimes changing a pillowcase daily can help. Same with face towels. Have a fresh towel daily. I am a big fan of Jordan Samuel products. He is a NYC esthetician that has his own product line.
I love your positive attitude. Looking at having into work as a new opportunity instead of this awful thing. You’ll probably be able to become closer to your coworkers and make some new friends. If it isn’t your thing, you can always find a new job. Congrats on getting invited to the premier too! So exciting!
Hey Lucia. My breakouts virtually died out when I started washing my hair every day. I know you don’t want to do that because you want healthier hair, but you can get away with washing it every day if you do a coconut oil treatment as often as you can. You can use the organic coconut oil from Trader Joe’s. You don’t have to buy something intended for hair. Most times, the natural route is so much more effective. You can work it into your hair pretty generously and leave it on for two hours in a shower cap. But really slather it into your hair and massage it in so your hair soaks up the goodness. Throw on a shower cap and wash it after the two hours. Now that you need to start going in to work, you can do this after work and then shower. That would also be a time-saver in the morning. What also really helps is washing your sheets once a week, especially since your face is plush against a pillowcase. You may have more breakouts because hair that isn’t washed daily absorbs the everything of daily life and then when we sleep, our hair obviously splays out all over our pillowcases. If our hair has gunk in it, it’ll transfer onto our pillowcases and then onto our skin. Sorry this is novel length 😂 You looked stunning in the white dress!
Hey Lucia, I work in corporate too and one thing I noticed while working in office was how women our age were shamed for wearing crop tops to work (even by other women). I never did bc of that, so I guess it doesn’t have a good image to some. However, at the end of the day, you wear what you want lol 😂 we shouldn’t care what others think. I think it’s cute but some say it’s not appropriate. 😅
lol yeah.. definitely a thing so its good to be conscious of that but at the end of the day i just wanna wear what i like and feel comfortable in! probs wouldnt wear one for an interview or a big presentation lol
I also will be back to work in office every day, as opposed to every other day, starting after the summer, so I totally get the mixed feelings! We’re in this together!!
I started using Clinique balm to take out the make up and after that Garnier micelar water and I think the skin gets clean so much deep and better, maybe helps you too !!
you looked absolutely amazing on the red carpet!!! skin issues suck..but your such a beautiful, confident, intelligent girl, noone notices as much as you do!!!I'm from the m-f generation...I cannot even imagine working from home and getting anything done...you will adjust and be totally fine...ps would love a corporate outfit haul...I'm a huge clothes lover!!!
Living your best life! Dang girl I don't know how you do it though. I'm trying to make ONE reset video and I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule and I'm finding it hard to do. You have pretty much TWO full-time jobs! So rest when you need it and even though it's NY and exciting to want to do it all, pace yourself and make sure you get some down time. I don't know if that's in the cards for influencers to NOT go to everything but taking care of your health and stress level is so important! NY isn't going anywhere. :)
Embrace going back to the office. Adapt to changes makes life when dealing with life changes as time passes makes it easier too. A lot of individuals in the workforce are going back. In the end your company will see how you’ve adapted and may just say you can go back to working a couple of days from home. I also think that eating out less might help with your skin. Eating processed food begins to be not such a good thing although I do see you know what you need to do. Good vlog!
Re: acne: I never did accutane, but you could try spironolactone and Dim Detox (those things cleared up my hormonal acne), since your acne seems to be hormonal! Also lots of mint tea.
You looked great! With the amount of coffee and matcha you drink what are you using for milk? Skim milk has been known to cause acne. In any case, it would be worth it to see a dermatologist again to see what your options are. Stress definitely plays a part too so do what you can to lessen that.
I have to drive 35 minutes to work one way and I would be devastated if i had to go in 5 days a week (plus the culture isn’t great) but I love how you’re think about the change! I would love more work content like you mentioned, I feel like I rarely see it or maybe I just don’t follow those people.
I feel your pain about the acne situation. I don’t break out much anymore but I used to when I was younger and it was awful especially when you go to these big events it can be embarrassing to have acne so I feel your pain Try to control your stress and not stress out so much. I know easier said then done but stress is a big reason why people breakout and you have been very stressed out lately so that could play a part why you broke out this time
Dude you rocked that carpet like a pro and you looked amazing! As for your skin…don’t worry about going to a dermatologist- my advice (from experience) is: don’t give it energy, act as if you don’t care, don’t stress and see yourself as the beautiful girl you are. Honestly just do that and your skin will stop acting up. Looking forward to seeing you in your new apartment soon. All the best from Melbourne!!! ❤
I have never commented on You Tube before but you have such a great outlook on the full time return to work. I have strong opinions as a hybrid worker with young kids. Are they saying why they are making this mandate? And would you have been required to work full time in office if you were still in Chi? Good luck! ❤ (random question: isn’t that a washing machine in the kitchen of the Brooklyn apartment?!). 😂
Awe thanks so much!! 🤍🤍 and no the chicago office is smaller but maybe eventually they will be required too. And lol that washing machine is broken hahaha
Hi Lucia 🙂 You certainly had a stressful day on the day of the premiere but then at the premiere, on the red carpet................................ who was the stunning lady in that beautiful dress?.............. hang on, it was YOU. You looked 200% like a star 🌟 🤩. You meant Bradley Cooper was 2 feet away from you - as far as your subscribers are concerned, you are the star. It seems like you are finding your feet in New York now.
If I just go one day without sweets honestly I crave it less!! I just have it ok special occasions. But the less I have it the less I crave it. I also fill myself up on foods so I’m not hungry for sweets after! Not sure if that helps
I’m assuming that your company is making you go in office because they want to control their employees but I heard having an option to do both or one or the other is better for productivity
mandating on going back to office for 5 days!!!!! that's insane and horrible. the company needs to read the room. it should be on a team by team basis. time to find a new job lol. i'm hybrid and go maybe twice a week max if needed
Eat very low carb and your skin will clear up. Too many sugary drinks and not enough animal protein/fat. Find a gym by where you work, then you can do an early morning or lunch time workout.
Any tips for return to office ?!
Start looking for another job! They're clearly trying to get people to quit instead of having to fire people and give severance 😂
@@AllisonIntheCity lol nooo I love my job!
I think companies are paying these big rents and want to actually use the space. Don’t take it as a sign your job is in danger.

So true!! And thank u :)))
you looked great on the red carpet! Loved the longer vlog a lot!
Thanks so much 🥰🥰
I personally love working in person. If there is a good work culture then it isn’t bad. I hope the transition is smooth for you!
Yay! I think it’ll be fun

Oh I’ll check out Clinique! Rn I just use garnier micellar water

Ikr haha!! In a couple days!!! But I have a ton of vlogs to catch up on guys up on before then
LOVE pistachio lattes from blank street
OMG i need to try that!! sounds so good
@@LuciaCordaro its amazing! and if you buy their coffee beans you get a coffee for free
@@K-wx6ki nice!
Will you try to make social media your full time job so you can work remotely ? Seems you like the remote life!
Biiiiiig growth. Go girl
Thank u!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Did they give a reason for the mandatory office presence 5 days a week? Will they compensate you for the commute?
They just want us to be in person!
@@LuciaCordaro doesn’t seem fair if that isn’t the agreement you initially had-especially without a discussion. Corporate America smh
@@elizabeththompson1525 compensate for the commute? My work place charges us $250 a month to park there 🙃
Are you in the movie? CauseI didn't see it...
@@janeybakarbessy2330 haha no I just got invited to the premiere to help promote it!

Enjoying this
Yay :)))
I’ve noticed you don’t eat a lot of processed foods or sugar. Any tips? I am such a sugar addict and I am trying to break the habit.
If I just go one day without sweets honestly I crave it less!! I just have it ok special occasions. But the less I have it the less I crave it. I also fill myself up on foods so I’m not hungry for sweets after! Not sure if that helps
I’m assuming that your company is making you go in office because they want to control their employees but I heard having an option to do both or one or the other is better for productivity
isnt that a washer behind you?
lol everyone is asking this!! It doesn’t work hHa
This is the actual reason why i have 3 remote jobs. Because I know fully well that one of the company's can make changes
So smart !!
Ask your dermatologist for spironolactone. I use Spironolactone with combination birth control and it got rid of my hormonal cystic acne.
i used that pre accutane and it didnt help me :(
honestly companies need to revive their in office experience. my corp office is depressing and not creative at all. so it makes me not motivated.
Luckily mine is pretty good!
You are "the bee's knees!"

To take one step at a time
100%
Have you ever though of becoming and influencer full time?
That would be such an awesome opportunity! But that’s not currently possible for me
mandating on going back to office for 5 days!!!!! that's insane and horrible. the company needs to read the room. it should be on a team by team basis. time to find a new job lol. i'm hybrid and go maybe twice a week max if needed
I’m excited about it!
I hope you get a chance to connect with NYC influencer Chelsea Callahan.
Love her!
You could be breaking out from the juices or hormones. I'm 45 and still break out sometimes. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Truuu
Damn, you really DID just fall off the turnip truck in NY didn't you. Fun fact: Some people have to do two rounds of Accutane.
Eat very low carb and your skin will clear up. Too many sugary drinks and not enough animal protein/fat. Find a gym by where you work, then you can do an early morning or lunch time workout.
Thank u!!!
Hey Lucia, could you give TH-cam tips like how to start, SEO, video editing tool, keywords etc
I have a cloent who wants to start a TH-cam channel
