Vlogging

July Recap

KelliLeave a comment

I thought it would be a really neat idea to make a blog each month that reflects on my goals, books I read and talk about my favorite things from the month like tv show, video game, pictures I took. It is a great opportunity to connect with you and to be able to look at this later to see what was going on in my life this month. With that being said, let me get started!

GOAL RECAP

Career goals

  • Bring home $350 in tips weekly — I did!
  • Job search — I did not… however, soon I will be starting a new waitressing job (long story), and I will be searching for a new job then. One I can use my degree with.

Personal goals

  • Publish 2-4 blog posts — Posting this reflection will make it my fourth blog post this month! I am so proud of myself.
  • Post on YouTube 2 times — I have only posted one video this month.

  • Take care of mom’s dogs – give lots of love! — Always!

Health goals

  • Meditate at least 4 times a week — I know I definitely slacked on this, but I know I did do it every week… Maybe just not 4 times.

BOOKS I READ IN JULY

Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

This book was given to me by one of my friends. She highly recommended it, and I did get some good things from it. For how on when I read self-improvement books, I am going to start writing notes from them… I have forgotten most of what I have read to be honest LOL.

Final Offer by Lauren Asher

This was the third and final book of the Dreamland Billionaire series. I loved this series and going through the journey with each brother. I love the grumpy- sunshine trope.

The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James

This was such a good book! It’s a mystery with a side of supernatural. It had me guessing, and then when I did know what had happened, it was cool for it to show you how things came to be. Some things are different than they seemed to be.

FAVORITE PICTURES I TOOK

I think Khloe wants to play fetch.
Cody and Stitch always chilling on the couch.
A big ol’ baby.
Fun in the sun!
Cody can be sweet (most of the time).. cats photobombed.
Nights outside..
Set up selling tomatoes!
Roasting marshmallows, being silly.
Day out with friends.. ate at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Cody and Khloe snuggling.
Wanted a cute picture.
He’s so handsome.
Thea a big baby… She pretends she isn’t.

I also have favorite pictures with some kiddos, but I don’t want to put them online!

FAVORITE TV SHOW

I haven’t watched much tv this month.. The only things I’ve really watched is Hoarders and Family Guy.

FAVORITE VIDEO GAME

I recently just got into playing Dreamlight Valley! I love it. I love playing a quest-type game. Getting to play with all our favorite Disney characters is so neat! At some point, I’ll be able to play with my friend too.

Mental Health Monday #4

KelliLeave a comment

My mental health has not been good, but I am finally doing something about it. I have come to realize this past week that I do not take care of myself enough. My motivation has been almost nonexistent. I knew what things would help my mental health, but I did not have the willpower to do them.

I have decided that to try and motivate myself this week by vlogging my week of self-care. Self-care comes in many different forms. I picked out a few for this week, and I plan on doing several each day. I am making a YouTube video out of it because I am hoping it will keep me continuing to do some of the same self-care every day. Plus, I haven’t posted a YouTube video in a while.

My plan for this week is to do my morning/night routine, exercise, meditate, mindfully drink coffee, drink more water, take a walk outside, jam to music, and be productive so I won’t be stressed out later.

Today I have done quite a bit of my self-care. I got up early this morning and went to the gym. I meditated afterward. I have drank more water, but not as much as I wanted to. I will get better about it tomorrow. I mindfully drank coffee. It was nice. I was even extremely productive today! I got some schoolwork done, and I got A LOT of my internship work done. Today was actually a down day for me, but I still pushed myself to be better.

The way I feel is not going to change overnight, but I am super excited to see how this week goes. I will, of course, continue doing more self-care in the future, but making a video is certainly a much needed push.

2020 New Year Resolutions

KelliLeave a comment

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a great year so far! This year I am really putting a challenge on myself to become a better and happier person. I wrote out a whole list of New Year Resolutions that I want to complete this 2020. I actually put them in a notebook and am logging the things I get done. What I mean by this is, for example, I want to workout at least three times a week. To keep myself motivated, I created a ‘workout log’ in a notebook so I will more likely hold myself accountable each week. Here are some more resolutions (and how I keep up with it):

1. Self-care to help your mental health – I wrote a list of things I can do that could help my mental health. For example, workout, dance, hot shower, face mask, ect.

2. Be a better friend and family member – I wrote out ways I could do this.

3. Read at least x books in 2020 – When I read a book, I write the title, author and the date I finished reading it.

4. Save money (goal: $5,000) – I write out the date I deposit money, the amount deposited and the total amount saved in 2020.

5. Workout log (goal: 3 times a week) – I have writen ‘week x (month date – month date), and then under it have the day, how long I worked out and what kind of workout.

6. Podcasts (goal: watch 2 a month) – I write the podcast name, the author and the date listened.

7. Trying new things (at least 4 a month) – I write down the new thing I tried, the date I tried it and a note about if I liked it or not.

8. Learn how to cook – I list the things I have cooked and when I cooked it.

9. Youtube ideas – I have a list of ideas for my youtube channel.

10. Blog ideas – I have a list of ideas for my blog.

11. How to be more extroverted.confident – I have a list on things to achieve this.

These are the New Year Resolutions that I have for this year. What are your New Year Resolutions? Do you have any suggestions on what else I can do to have a happy 2020?

Honey in Coffee and Mafia Makeup

KelliLeave a comment

I finally posted another Youtube video! I tried honey in my coffee, and I also started doing blood/bruises for a mafia original character I have on Tik Tok.

What kind of youtube videos do you like to see? I like doing sit down videos. Do you have any suggestions about what I could talk about? I’ve been thinking of doing coffee talk videos, but I don’t know what I want to talk about.

Hey guys. I am currently a 19 year old college student. I hope to be someone some day. One of my hobbies that I do that may help that some day is vlogging. About a month ago, I finally start uploading videos to YouTube like I’ve been wanting to do pretty much since I got a computer when I was 10. I would really appreciate it if you would subscribe to my YouTube channel. You can do this by clicking my name at the end. I upload vlogs at least twice a week if not more. Thank you so much.
