Happy Monday

blog

Another day, another week- man time just really keeps going doesn’t it LOL. But honestly though, it’s kind of wild to think about. Anyways, yesterday I did some crafting and decided to make some cute mini vision boards. I ended up mailing them off to a few of my friends today! I love doing little crafty things and am excited to see what I make next!

Saturday Vibes

blog

It may be rainy, but we’re still gonna go to Oktoberfest with our friends tonight! I’m excited to see everyone and hang out later. Today has been pretty relaxing, yet also productive! I applied to a remote job and also sent off my resume to an office that’s relatively close to me. I don’t know if they are even hiring, I really did it just as a baby step to get used to reaching out, and also to learn how to deal with rejection.

I also have been trying to organize my thoughts / memories for a podcast episode I need to record. I’ve mentioned my creepy coworker in the past and I really just need to finally sit down and record- it’s just a lot to go back though. I still have a hard time piecing all of the timeline together, probably because I felt like I was in survival mode at that job even without all of her chaos. I’m not recoding the episode today, but I will soon!

Wednesday AM

blog

Yay for it being halfway through the week already LOL! Honestly, work yesterday wasn’t too bad and I actually went to the gym after work like I said I would! Look at me keeping a promise to myself! Now I’d just love to stay relatively consistent, so that’s a goal for this month (and really the rest of the year).

Also I got a new Braztie last night!! My husband loves his video games, our friends love their Pokémon cards, and me… I love Braziez!! They are different editions of Bratz babies in blind boxes and it’s currently my obsession. I was never into the Labubu’s, but considering I had quite the Bratz collection as a child, I am OBSESSED with these Bratzies!

Today, if the weather is okay, I am going to run a couple errands on my lunch break before stopping for the groceries on my way home! It’ll be nice to have all that done today so tomorrow I can focus on baking my Amish friendship bread after work! It’ll be my first time making that too and wow is it a process- I’ve been mashing a bag for 9 days now LOL!

I’ve decided today is going to be a great day, and I hope that today is great for everyone else as well!

Thursday Night Thoughts

blog

I want to get back into blogging again. I recently watched Smile 2 and was so impressed by the fact that it was better than the first one! I remember after I watched the first Smile movie I wanted to start writing about horror movies and the psychological messages and themes that all seem to come about in these films.

A creative thought that I never put effort into- something I tend to do quite often. I want to get better at that: putting effort towards the things I say I want. Things like going to the gym, writing in my blog, and working on my podcast- I deserve to spend time and effort on myself, and I deserve to keep promises I make to myself.

I know I always feel more emotional and upset about these things when it’s my time of the month, but in general I know that I am in control of how I spend my time, and I am going to be more mindful of that as we enter the colder months of the year. Since it is that time of the month, I am absolutely exhausted.

On that note, I’m signing off for the evening. I’ll be back soon ♡

Maybe This Is What Life Is About

blog

Maybe life really is about making your 8-year-old self happy. Doing things just to do them; not for profit, not for views- just doing the things that you want to do for YOU.

Maybe life is about seeking out the beauty in all the things we deem to be “imperfect.” Seeing and appreciating what makes everything so special and unique in this world.

Maybe life is about finding what truly lights up your soul and pouring into yourself whenever you can. Filling your own cup up so full that it starts spilling love and light onto others who come across your path.

Maybe life is about noticing and being grateful for the abundance of blessings that surround you everyday. Basking in the happiness that you’ve created for yourself, and recognizing how much of your life is answered prayers.

Maybe life is having faith that no matter how hard life may get, we are more than capable of making it through. Recognizing how much you have overcome in this lifetime, and appreciating the person you have become along the way.

Maybe life is about slowing down and being present to the love that is within you, and all around you. Maybe this is what life is about.

Sunday Vibes

blog

My husband is out shooting Air-soft with his friends, so I am taking a much needed “me day” at home! This morning I did some declutterring and then I made myself some breakfast. Later on I decided to go out and grab myself an iced coffee and now I’m home reading my new book that I won from @thecosmicrx on Instagram!

The new moon technically peaks tomorrow, but I’m feeling that calm reset kicking in now, and I am excited to see what these next couple of months look like! The more I lean into being present and taking life day by day, the easier it is to feel fulfilled and happy. I am so grateful for today and this life.
