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.

  • Catch up on emails — Hundreds of emails later… Yes, I did.
  • 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.

  • Do something for Cody’s birthday — We didn’t do anything too crazy, but I think he still had a good time.
  • Meet up with friends — We did! It was so good to see them again.

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.

Gaming Youtube Channel: BelieveGaming

KelliLeave a comment

You may be thinking.. this girl has a gaming channel?? Well… no, I don’t. Not yet anyway. But my best friend does, and I love watching him play.

He was finished play Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn. He is currently posting Far Cry 6 @ 10 am CDT and Angels of Death @ 7 pm CDT every single day. These are subject to change, but for the time being this is accurate.

If you like watching this kind of stuff, I would greatly appreciate it if you would check him out and subscribe to him. I am not sure what games he will be playing next, but I am sure he is likely to choose a game you guys would like him to play (and is interesting).

Click this sentence to go to his YouTube channel!

I am managing his social media for the time being (surprise, surprise, I actually have a degree for this kind of thing), and we would appreciate some feedback. We love constructive criticism!

June goals RECAP [2021]

KelliLeave a comment

I feel like the months are going by so fast. June seemed to have just started yesterday and it is already the end of it. Here’s the results from my goals for this month.

Buy a new planner

I did do this and I am so excited to use it. It is called the simplified planner. This planner will help me simplify my life, and at the same time, declutter it. It kind of goes hand in hand. I will make a post about this planner sometime in the future.

Read 2 books

I read 4 books in total this month.

  • Coming Up Roses (The Southern Roots, #1) by L.K. Farlow
  • An Uphill Battle (The Southern Roots, #2) by L.K. Farlow
  • Weather the Storm (The Southern Roots, #3) by L.K. Farlow
  • Shielding His Baby (Deuces Wild, #3) by Taryn Quinn

Post 4 blogs

I ended up only posting three. These are the ones I posted:

Post 4 YouTube videos

I did not post 4 videos this month, but these are the ones I did post.

Get tanner

I feel like by me walking outside 3-4 times a week has gotten me a little tanner.

Walk 30 miles for cancer

I walked over 30 miles to raise awareness for cancer.

Take vitamins daily

I didn’t have vitamins for 2 weeks of this month, but when I did have them I took them. I am counting this because I could not help that my vitamins got here late, lol.

Meditate 3x a week

I did not do this. I did meditate about once a week. I am still trying to get better at this.

Go hiking

I actually did not go hiking, although I did walk on a track a lot. This month just flew by. I am going to pencil in time for a hike next month.

Practice writing

I have practiced writing this month. I started writing my book instead of staying stuck on beginning ideas. I am trying to male myself plow through on writing and let myself go back later to rewrite, add or subtract things from my rough draft.

22 push ups every day

I started this at the beginning of the month, but I ended up have to take a week and a half break because I got a bad sinus infection. I have started again on June 28 and will do this for at least 22 days to raise veteran suicide awareness.

22 squats every day

I did not continue doing this. Probably should.

Clean house

I have started this. I reorganized the kitchen’s pantry and multiple cluttered drawers. I hope to move to the dining room and my room.

Trying new coffee and lipstick

KelliLeave a comment

I have finally posted a new Youtube video after MONTHS of not posting. I hope to get back on track with everything, but I am not sure how that’ll go. I am just going to take it one day at a time.

But anyway, I decided to try Sonic’s iced coffee because I heard about it from a friend, and I then tried a new coffee from my favorite local coffee shop. I also bought three new lipsticks. Click on the link, and it will take you to my new Youtube video!

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.

Trying the Matcha Frappuccino from Starbucks

Kelli

You should check out my YouTube video! It’s been so long since I’ve uploaded so I apologize. It’s not because I haven’t filmed anything, but I haven’t had the motivation to edit! Hopefully I’ll do better…

I would appreciate it if you liked, commented and subscribed to my YouTube channel. 🙂

Have a great day!

xx Kelli

Fall Bucket List [2019]

KelliLeave a comment

Happy fall!

I can’t believe it is already fall. It should still be the beginning of summer! Honestly, I am not ready for fall weather. I don’t like cold weather, but I made a bucket list in hopes of making the best of it.

Fall: September 23 – December 21

  • Carve a pumpkin
  • Practice ‘halloween’ makeup
  • Drink pumpkin spice coffee
  • Watch at least 2 halloween movies
  • Have a bonfire
  • Go to homecoming football game
  • Consistent with working out / meditation
  • Go hiking at least once
  • Post at least 4 YouTube videos
  • Journal at least twice a week
  • Finish watching “The Originals”
  • Try something new (coffee, restaurant, food)
  • Read at least 2 books
  • Post on WordPress at least once a week
  • Watch at least 2 Christmas movies
  • Have Thanksgiving with my family
  • Do Christmas shopping
  • Get rid of clothes I don’t wear so I’ll have room for new clothes

After fall season is over, I am going to post the end result of how many of these I got done. Hopefully all of these will be crossed out!

I’m Back!

Kelli1 Comment

Hello everyone! I’m back! It has been a very long time since I have written a blog, and I have missed it so much! There has been quite a bit going on in my life, and I hope I can share it all on here at some point. College and work has been taking up the most of my time, but I hope I can finally start posting content regularly.

I am not sure what you should expect from my blog yet. I have always been unsure as to what I should blog about. It’s probably going to be a little bit of everything from my life. Everything from my YouTube Channel to some favorite recipes to my travels. There will be a wide variety of topics.

One more thing that I thought I should is to tell you a little about myself. My name is Kelli Young. I am a Communications major and English minor. I am going into my last year of college starting fall of 2019. I have four cats and one dog. I love volunteering at a local animal shelter. Coffee helps me feel more like a person and less like a zombie when I first wake up. I guess you could say I am a Harry Potter geek. I have so much Harry Potter merch that it would be easier to ask what I do not have.

One last thing, I have had a love for writing for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I used to write little short stories and sell them for a quarter to some of my family members. I have thought about getting a job after college that has to deal with writing, but I do not feel like I would enjoy writing for other people. I like being about to write what ever I want to write about.

That being said, I hope you have a great day.
