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!

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
