Creative Process- 5 Creative Tips and Tricks

Today I've just been having a really creative day today... and I feel like I've kind of noticed why. If you want to know about beauty products that have helped me think a little more creatively I posted THIS blog on my Beauty Blog a While Ago. But... yeah. On with the things I liked about it.

1) Sit in the back seat of a car- There's something kind of childlike about sitting in the back seat of a car that just kind of gets my wheels turning... and I did that tonight. It wasn't a super long drive, but it was long enough to kind of see everything... and I passed a lot of interesting things. There's my regular hometown, new restaurants that are busy, old iconic restaurants that have closed down, shopping complexes, an abandoned shopping complex, things that used to be something completely different than what they are now, places that I knew bad things have happened... it's just kind of funny how big a relatively small area feels from just observing things in the back seat of the car. It's really nice!

2) Go for Ice Cream- again... that's where I was going when I was in the car... go get some ice cream. Take your mind off of things... let your inner child free and treat yourself! Really really great idea.

3) Solve puzzles- This is a weird one... I've mentioned about a million times that I'm getting new furniture for my room... it's been kind of a puzzle thinking of what to temporarily do with my stuff... so that's kind of like solving a puzzle... and that's creative in itself trying to figure out the best way to do things.

4) Blog- Honestly... a lot of times I feel like blogging kind of burns me out creatively... but this week I've been blogging a little more and making my blogs a little bit more spontaneous than I usually do. I  feel like they're more personal this way and I've just kind of like writing something daily and sharing it with my internet friends. It's lovely.

5) Write in the morning- A lot of times when I wake up I'll come up with an idea for a blog... and I'll try to get back to sleep... but I can't get back to sleep until I write whatever is on my mind... and that feeling is awesome. If I'm real tired, I'll only write half of the blog... but for the most part... the idea that comes into my head in the morning is what I blog about on here for the day... and then my beauty blog is sometimes different. I have more of a focus on there right now as far as theme... but I do have some fun spontaneous blogs there that I really like too. Idk- I need to try writing something other than my blog in the morning... but I'm loving blogging in the morning.

There might be more... but this is it for now... maybe I'll blog more about this... maybe I won't. We'll see but I recommend starting out with these things!

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
