00:00Good morning!
00:16Getting dressed?
00:18Are you talking to me?
00:19Yeah.
00:21There you go.
00:22Alright.
00:22We're heading out for our morning meditation class.
00:28Morning in New York City.
00:32We're hoping it's going to be very zen because I didn't sleep that well last night.
00:47My final takeaway is that I cannot meditate early in the morning because I almost fell asleep about six times.
00:55I could use a nap.
00:58Is this a bad time for a nap?
00:59We're going to come back home.
01:02I'll put my makeup on for the day.
01:03We'll make some breakfast.
01:05And then the day will really start.
01:08What to wear.
01:09What to wear.
01:28I'm currently making a juice that I found on Rovana's YouTube channel.
01:32And it has two cucumbers, two small beets, a little bit of fresh mint, and then I have this whole
01:39baby.
01:40watermelon that I'm going to dice up and I'm also going to use the rind because she told me to
01:45use the rind.
01:46I'm so excited.
01:56This is a lot of fresh mint.
01:57That's just enough watermelon for now.
01:58Time to add the cucumbers.
02:07I'm throwing in the beets, bright red, whoa, wow, alright, let's taste this.
02:26Let's taste this.
02:33Pretty good.
03:04I'm running out of gumballs.
03:06I'm about to spend the next 20 minutes or so at my desk watching a cut that an editor
03:10sent me for a Try Living with Lucy video and giving my notes on it.
03:15This is a huge part of my job.
03:17I probably do this two or three times a week.
03:20Let me show you what I'm watching.
03:30Five days of calligraphy.
03:32Hi, baby.
03:34Found you.
03:40I'm going to get the mail.
03:52Mail room.
03:54Nice.
03:55That's a big box.
03:57Wow, lots of packages today.
03:59Mail time.
04:00Woo!
04:01Alright.
04:02This is from Russia.
04:06Happy New Year.
04:07Dear Lucy, we hope you like yourself as a doll.
04:11We did our best.
04:15This is quite possibly the best gift I've ever received.
04:19Oh my god.
04:20It's a pizza bikini and I'm wearing a donut skirt.
04:24Thank you so much.
04:25I love her.
04:26By the way, this is the company.
04:28Thank you guys so much.
04:29That is the best doll version of me I've ever seen.
04:32Okay, next.
04:33The first issue of the Glow Mag.
04:36And you want to know why they sent this to me?
04:40Because they profiled me.
04:43What's next?
04:51This is a good gift.
04:52This is from a company called Amps & Co.
04:55And it is a full-on neon flamingo.
04:59We'll put this up soon.
05:04This one is from Art Sugar.
05:18Dear Lucy, enjoy this amazing artwork by Adanya Panchenko.
05:32I love it.
05:36Thanks Art Sugar.
05:37Last but not least, I have this guy.
05:47Whoa.
05:49This is a box filled with Asics stuff.
05:52This leather backpack.
05:55Sneaks.
05:56Hat.
05:57A 24 karat gold rock candy stick.
06:00And it came in this blue satin bag.
06:04Ha!
06:05Champagne bubbles from Sugarfina.
06:08Black zip-up turtleneck.
06:10A $100 gift card to Chill Space NYC.
06:15And that concludes meal time.
06:18Time to eat lunch.
06:21Whoa.
06:31Do I have anything on my teeth?
06:34Nope.
06:35So I'm normally on set at work because I'm always making videos.
06:39But today I happen to be just hanging in the office.
06:42But I am going down to the studio area because I want to see who is on set and what
06:47is going on.
06:48And I'll give you a little tour of our studio space.
06:51Let's go.
06:55So we have two studios.
06:57Studio A and Studio B.
07:01Nobody's in here.
07:02We have the studio to ourselves.
07:07Essentially, you know when you're watching a video and you see the person talking but the background behind them is
07:12just one solid color.
07:17And just like that, I'm against a solid blue background.
07:21But if I moved back a little and you saw where I really was, you'd see that I'm just in
07:28a studio with some paper.
07:30That's how production works.
07:31This area out here is the hair and makeup area.
07:35I rarely get my hair and makeup done unless it's for a branded shoot or something a little bit more
07:40high profile.
07:40But because I'm shooting pretty much every day, there's just no time for hair and makeup.
07:45And if you're into fashion, this is another cool thing that we have here.
07:48We call it the cage.
07:49Inside is a lot of the fashion items that we're working with right now.
07:54So if you want to know what's in style, come to the cage.
07:58Alright, let's see who's in Studio A.
08:05Hey guys.
08:08It's a whole crew.
08:09What are we shooting today?
08:10I got bit by a husky dog when I was in the fourth grade.
08:13Yes.
08:13And the dog took a big chunk out of my leg.
08:17So that's what we're talking about today.
08:18We want everyone to feel empowered no matter what your body looks like and the scars that you have.
08:23That's why I love this girl.
08:24We're friends.
08:26This is a C300 Mark II and another C300 Mark II.
08:29It's a big-ass lens.
08:30These are the cameras that I typically shoot Triliving with Lucy on when I'm shooting with Andrew.
08:36And when I'm not shooting with Andrew, I use this camera right here, which is this.
08:42It is a Canon G7X, really small and compact.
08:46Flips down, flips up, turn it off, turn it on.
08:51There's really nothing else to it.
08:53Look at Holly doing her job, director of photography.
08:57There she goes.
08:59It's the classic set at Refinery29, what you're seeing right here.
09:02I just left work and I went to a blow-dry bar, which is why my hair is all blown
09:07out right
09:08now.
09:08Now I'm just heading home quickly to change just before I go to paint night with my mom
09:16and my sister.
09:17I got this from my mom for her birthday and I'm very excited.
09:20It's basically like a wine night where you sit and you paint.
09:24And my mom is a painter.
09:26So I'm very excited.
09:27We made it!
09:29Hello!
09:31Hey!
09:32We're going to paint night.
09:34We are.
09:34You ready to paint?
09:35Yeah, but I suck at it.
09:37No you don't.
09:39She's good.
09:40She just doesn't know yet.
09:41My mom's will be the best and then Lucy's and then mine.
09:44No!
09:52She's good.
09:53She's good.
09:54She's good.
09:54She's good.
09:55She's good.
09:55So we're all painting this.
09:57I'm going rogue and doing my own thing.
10:27We just left paint night and I took my painting to go.
10:32I'm going to put it in my apartment.
10:34Allie actually ditched her painting, didn't bring it home.
10:37Yeah, but I thought it was really great actually.
10:40I developed a new excitement and enthusiasm for abstract painting.
10:46I think I'm going to become a painter.
10:49I fully support you Al.
10:50Thanks.
10:55I'm just trying to cross the street.
10:56Most awkward sister kiss of all time.
11:02Got my painting.
11:04I'm really loving the way this came out.
11:06If anyone has seen Coco, the new Disney Pixar movie, this is sort of giving me Coco vibes.
11:12And at the end of the day, it's like one of my favorite paintings I've ever made.
11:17And if I ever decide that I don't want it anymore, I think I'm going to give it to my
11:20cameraman Andrew.
11:21Because he's a painter and he collects my paintings.
11:25Thanks.
11:25Thanks.
11:25Thanks.
11:26Thanks.
11:26Thanks.
11:26Thanks.
11:27You
