The Autumn Challenge

The Autumn Challenge In her Fall Bucketlist video, Kalyn Nicholson talks about how we all set out with so many ideas of the things that we want to do in the Fall, but we never actually do them. And for me, that rings true. So I challenged myself and my family to join me in making sure we do as much of the following as we can in the next month: Harry Potter Marathon (fun outfit optional) Read The Books Pumpkin Spice Latte Apple Picking Buy A Pumpkin Bake An Autumnal Dessert Football In The Park Pumpkin Carving Fresh Flowers for the Apartment Autumnal Decor Harvest Meal Rewatch The Haunting Try A Red Wine Some of these I have not done in years- like apple picking. And some I've already started. I've read the first Harry Potter book, and I have some ideas for decor. I might need to buy a football.... or I may just suggest we go HAM with our Nerf guns instead. No matter what, I want to make sure that we appreciate this time while we are in it. This is my f

Weekend Update

If you've read my last post you know that I was kind of starting to freak out over the upcoming move. Then this morning I woke up groggy and spent an hour on Instagram. Here you will see how my best friend Rei asked if we were going to Michael's. So we went to Michael's. It jump-started my day and kept me from getting angsty and depressed from staying in.  Here is something I'm definitely going to be DIYing when I finish moving in. Some fam-spam. Ricky and I got sushi after. And then I started packing. I took a 2.5 hour nap. I was browsing Youtube for inspiration when Ricky suggested finishing the sushi from earlier and catching up on Luke Cage.  The night ended with writing and editing... Starting the day with breakfast, coffee, and music. Ricky and I had an interesting conversation about family, abuse, sacrifice, and commitment. And of course, it is Sunday so I watched Kalyn Nicholson's new video.  He

Short Moving Update- 2 Weeks Out

Photo by Shopify Partners from Burst We are moving in two weeks. I have bought 20 boxes and some trash bags. That's it. That is all I have done. It's been really busy these last couple of weeks, and it's going to be very busy in the next few as well. So, this post is more of a personal checklist of what I have left to do. Please people, learn from my mistakes. This is my first time moving out of my own place. I have too much stuff to just fill 4 trash bags and put them in my car. What's Left: Supplies : Duct tape, bleach, zipties (for hangers), carpet washer. Tasks : Bag remainder of all clothes. Box up all bedroom items not being used daily. Begin packing kitchen. Finish taking out trash from the purge. Vacuum the Ziploc Air Storage bags. Give back any items being stored by family. Move Services: I have to update SMUD, the internet provider, post office, DMV, my employers, my bank, and Amazon. Clean : Let's see..... This is a long one. Actually,

6 Tips for Coping With Stress

When I first started going to college, I found myself lost. Like many people, I felt like there was so much that I needed to do- but I had no idea what that was. Even now in my '9 to 5', I find myself feeling guilty and anxious. I feel like I could be doing more, I just don't know what. That vague anxiety and feeling of unfulfillment, plus the stress of bills and an unsatisfied family means that I find it hard to take the time to take care of myself. What does this result in? I'm sure many of you have been in my place and you can guess. Sleeping too much, too little, too restlessly. Drinking and eating too much causing me to gain weight. Breaking out. Finding it hard to care for myself. Even basic things like showering are hard to handle in the deepness of depression. These are not great combos for self-esteem, by the way. See, I know that I am prone to depression and anxiety. But I have found ways that work for me to get through those times. And I actively work

5 Ideas for Your Next (Or First) Vlog

5 Ideas for Your Next (Or First) Vlog A lot of people want to start a vlog, but they are held back by this one fear:  that they just are not interesting. I used to think the same about myself and creating content. And let me be honest, we   might not be interesting. To one person. But to another we might be exactly what they were hoping  to find. You might be their next favorite content creator. You won’t know until you put yourself out there  and try. Actually, I really want to make a vlog channel one day, but I really enjoy the idea of a blog. I will continue working on this site, and in the mean time collect research for any channel I have in the future. I hope it comes of use to you as well. So, if you’re in need for vlog ideas for your Youtube channel, look no further.  1. Routine Videos Cleaning, night, day, fitness, meditation, weekly, planning, goal setting, or even order packaging  routines. Your audience can use these videos to compare it
