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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
