12 Things
I have seen A TON of these blog posts going around about 12 things. These 12 things are completely random and are about anything and everything honestly. I love reading them because I just like to be in the loop. I guess you can say I'm nosey, but I would say inquisitive. I've also been wanting to do some favorites on my blog maybe like every other week haha I don't know! Anyways, here are my 12 things!
1. I've been trying to stay up on my Youtube channel, but I definitely underestimated how hard it is to balance filming, editing, school, work, and my blog!!!! It seems like a lot, but I love all of it so it just keeps me really busy! I'm going to try to film a favorites video today after I edit my other video that I want to get up today. You should go checkout my channel.
2. I'm currently watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas aka MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER!!! The one with Jim Carrey, not the cartoon one. If I could be a Who I for sure would! I am an extreme Christmas lover and I would guess that I at least watch the Grinch 20 or more times in the month of December. I watch other Christmas movies too, but the Grinch is my favorite.
3. Right now I am in a total phase where I just majorly want to revamp my life I guess ahah. It sounds confusing or it may not make sense but it's like when you are the most broke, you want to do the most. I want to revamp my blog, again, but the template you have to buy so I'm going to see what I can do about that. I also have been wanting to purchase some workshops and presets to really start making my youtube and photos great quality. A ton of people sell workshops and have really useful information in them so I want to try to get my hands on some while I can.
4. I'm finally going home in 2 weeks and I haven't seen my sister in over a year and I'm so excited I could cry honestly. Since I am up in Reno for school and I work full time it is nearly impossible to get time off to go home and see my family. When I do go home, which I never do, it's only for 2-3 days and this time. I am going for 6 so I'm like wow this is amazing. A real vacation? For me? Iconic!
5. I am a major planner and yesterday, when I should have been paying attention in class, I filled out my goals for 2018 in my bullet journal. As I was writing them out it made me realize that I am trying to do A LOT! But then I also think, why not? I have 365 days to accomplish this stuff. That is more than enough time. I also get frustrated when people are haters on people with New Years resolutions. Like okay at least we are trying and NOT BEING COMPLACENT! LOL k sorry that got really extra.
6. K so we are half way there and this is so fun! I am actually working on book right now. I've been writing it for about 3 years I think, and there is a ton left to do, but I love it so much! I really enjoy writing it but I never imagined it would be so much to even just write it let alone the next steps for editing and publishing, which is ultimately the goal.
7. Today is my only real day of this week because the other two days I'm off of work I go to school, so today is when I can really do whatever the freak I want. I've been trying to get back onto my gym grind ever since I stopped going to my regular spin classes because they were getting expensive. My cousin had a great idea the other night when I was face timing her. She said that there are apps to have a guided spin, but also I can just look up a class on youtube to follow along with. I looked them up and there are so many! Not a ton of rhythmic spin which is my personal favorite, but I am going to go today and see how I like it.
8. My friends and I are doing a secret santa this year and I need to order her gift today! It is a week from today so I better get on it!
9. I took graduation pictures for my friend Hayley because she is graduating this Saturday and I was thinking that maybe I could turn it into a little side business because I love taking pictures. Her photos turned out super cute and I could take pictures for graduations, weddings, and babies too. I was thinking of making an entire section on my blog with some of the photos I've taken so if people are interested they can get an idea of some of my work.
10. I have been trying to transition back to eating more plant based and it is so much harder than the last time. I went completely plant based two years ago and I lasted a year, but then got sick so I started eating some animal based products again. I kind of have just been eating whatever for the last year and I feel like trash, but when I am starving after work or school none the plant based foods I have sounds good so I am trying to combat that right now.
11. I just realized the other day that OB, my boyfriend, and I have been together for a year and a half and it seems like it has gone by so fast! If I think back to us meeting it seems like it was just this last summer, but when I think about everything that we have experienced together it seems like we have been together for at least 5 years.
12. LAST ONE! I am so excited for next year. This year has been my most challenging year yet in so many ways and I can't wait for it to be over honestly. I have so many goals and plans that I want to achieve. I am more motivated than ever... hopefully it lasts haha.
Happy Thursday everyone! Almost to the weekend. See you next Thursday with a new post!
Lovely thoughts and outstanding taste,
