Journaling: The Best Thing Ever? Creativity, Writing Stuff!

So this is something I kind of love doing and I never really realized how much I really love just writing something down every day… whether it’s what happened to me during the day, my thoughts and feelings, how I felt during the day… what I’m going to do tomorrow… just little things like that. 

Lately I haven’t really been writing a personal journal for myself. I keep a mood log in my bullet journal and I write what I’ve been doing my weekly wrap up on this blog… which I think of as kind of a journal formatted for the public… it’s nice… but I can’t really tell any personal stories when I do that and I like being a little bit more personal… so I think I’m going to make time for myself to just unwind and write a little bit about my day. 

I had a loss in my family recently… which is very sad… but I was able to write down some memories and something that had a lot of meaning to me that is kind of hard to tell people  and it just feels really nice that I have that written down and I’ll have it forever. It’s just nice to have a memory for me. And I’ll probably do that again today because there’s another thing I wanted to add that I didn’t… so that’s something I’ll do. 

I also love my Bullet Journal… this helps me stay organized and keep track of the things I’m doing. I like knowing what I did that day and what I have to do… I feel more accomplished. Plus I like having a habit tracker, a mood log and just little things where I can write things down. 

I kind of want to even start another bullet journal maybe or just a journal dedicated to writing. Idk I kind of want to do some sort of journal thing where I just write a 5-minute story every day… that’d be a lot of fun… I think I’m going to try that tonight too… I realize this is a lot of time dedicated to writing already… and I already write 2 blogs daily and I’d like to work on other projects… but I think just investing a little bit more time into writing not on those projects will help me kind of re-evaluate things to do with that… if that makes sense. 

I also think I want to read more often and maybe watch more movies because from watching more Beauty Videos, I’ve gotten a lot of ideas for blogs and blog series for my beauty blog… and I’ve just been WAYYY more creative. I’m not even taking other ideas… but a lot of my more creative blog posts are ideas I got while watching another youtuber… so I feel like reading more and watching more movies will give me more creative ideas for other creative writing projects… if that makes any sense. 

So… yeah. I just thought I’d mention that… I’m really loving all the blog ideas I have going and I’m kind of excited with what’s coming to my blogs soon… and I feel like Journaling might be my favorite thing ever now… lol. 

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

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...
