Hello everyone, how is quarantine life treating you? Me? I think now I am starting to go a little bat shit crazy. I am at the point where I am contemplating rearranging my entire apartment. I tried filming day 5 for YouTube but I ended up sleeping majority of the the day. I did cook some curry for the first time by myself with no help & let me just say that it was absolutely delicious. I have attached an image of it down below.

Let’s be honest. This whole pandemic is & staying home under quarantine is driving people crazy. Everyone who had a 9-5 is currently at home not really knowing what to do. I normally work from home myself but there are days when I need to be in an environment around people. For introverts this is their dream for extroverts it’s torture & for ambiverts like myself who thrives on a mixture on both.

So, in this post I am sharing 10 things you guys can do while you’re stuck at home. I was actually going to turn this into a video for my channel but I changed my mind.

1. Clean your environment. 
During this pandemic this should be a given. Clean & disinfect everything. Wipe everything down with Clorox wipes. Clean out your fridge. Get rid of the food that is expired. Open your windows & balcony doors to let some fresh air in while cleaning. When I clean, I blast music and just make it a concert.

2. Read a book. 
This is something that I recently started getting back into. I have tons of books at home that I am going to start rereading but if there was a book that you guys always wanted to read but never got a chance to do then this is the perfect time to do so. Get cozy & read that book.

3. Catch up on work.
Because of the pandemic “WFH” has definitely become the norm. For those of you who don’t know what WFH means it means Work From Home. This is something that I have mixed feelings on. I normally wake up eat breakfast, do my work then enjoy the rest of the day.

4. Learn something new.
This is huge for me because I love learning new things especially new languages. I am currently learning a language & I am excited to learn another language other than English and a little bit of Spanish.

5. Have a hobby.
I actually don’t have a hobby. Does learning songs in different languages count as a hobby or learning dance moves count? Cause if that counts then yeah maybe I do have a hobby.

6. Communicate.
We all know that social distancing sucks especially if you are an extrovert. It calling your friends & family on the phone. FaceTime comes in handy to check in on your friends who are having a hard time with the quarantine.

7. Exercise.
I have a love/hate relationship. I am slowly getting back into exercising. I start with light stretching, then go into yoga for beginners because yeah I am that out of shape. It’s hard when all you want to do is lie in bed or on the couch all day.

8. Cook.
I love to cook but I am not going to lie...I got really lazy & just anted to eat nothing but junk or make sandwiches because it was easy & fast. I did start cooking again & it forgot how therapeutic it is.

9. Binge watch shows.
I love binge watching shows. It doesn’t matter which show I watch as long as it peaks my interest in the first 2-3 episodes. I absolutely love watching cheesy Korean dramas that make me cringe & question life.

10. Self-care.
Self-care can actually be anything. For me...I am actually a big fan on self care these days. I started taking care of my hair, better care of my skin with every other day facials & my skin. Self care makes you feel so much better inside & out.

I can honestly say that Day 3 under quarantine was better than Day 2. I personally think that I will be running out of clear drinking glasses by the end of the week for my mood photos.

Today was definitely a pretty chill day. I have yet to put away the laundry that I did yesterday yet but at this point, I have all the time in the world. Although, I would like to deal with it by the end of the week. I think that maybe I should just deal with it tomorrow & clean my wardrobe out one time. It gives me something to do. I actually recorded some clips but not that many so there won't be a Youtube video on the channel tonight but I will just be combining Day 3 + Day 4 into one video.

I went for a really long walk today around the neighborhood to clear my head and just to get out of the house and stretch my legs. Plus it is always nice getting some fresh air. I definitely practiced social distancing when I saw other people with the same idea. I don't have a mask at the moment ( everywhere is sold out ) so I cannot really take that big risk.

I hope everyone's day was a good day. I know things are looking really negative right now but I just know we will overcome this pandemic. I look forward to writing my thoughts & sharing some ideas with you guys tomorrow. 

Man oh, man this is only day 2 & I am already going slightly insane. I am not sure why...I normally would go for walks or go work in a coffee shop. The introvert in me is loving being able to stay home & basically do nothing ( work from home mentality ) & the extrovert in me really feels lonely not being able to have coffee or brunch with friends.

With the current Pandemic going on right now. Everyone is in a state of panic. I would lie & say that I wasn't a little bit concerned because I have a weak immune system so I do have a high chance of catching the virus, getting sick & landing in the ER.

This past weekend I ventured out to the grocery store to purchase the necessary items I needed for the quarantine. I was shocked to see the number of people hoarding things that they didn't need to survive. I saw a man with 2 carts hoarding zebra cakes, twinkies, etc. I mean he took ALL of the boxes. My thing is...if it's a pandemic why would they feel the need to hoard toilet paper? You would think they would hoard the fruit & veggies because I mean that's the most important thing besides water in my opinion. I did need toilet paper. I mean I have about 8 rolls left & I bought some flushable wipes which I prefer. Although I am thinking about getting a bidet.

The first day of quarantine was basically the same as any other day. I spent the majority of the day deep cleaning my apartment and wiping everything down with Clorox, responded to emails and played video games. I recorded a slightly long youtube video about the quarantine which I thought could have been done a little better with the editing but tomorrow is another day.

I am going to use this opportunity to better myself in certain aspects ( writing more, editing, etc ). Maybe use this time to start working out & forming new habits ( waking up early ).

Look forward to a new post tomorrow. Until then. Wash your hands & stay safe.

Dammit. I still cannot believe that we are already in March. Literally everyone complains that January is to long but as soon as it ends you sneeze & it’s 4 months later. For some odd reason I kept putting off when I was going to start my goals. Why? I want to get better and I want things to get better for me mentally but why haven’t I actually started?

At this point I actually forgot what goals that I decided to set for myself. What is wrong with me? Instead I decided that I was going to write out new goals & hopefully stick to them. Hopefully someone can help me get on track even though I am supposed to do this myself.

Looking after my body. I say this as I had some Maccas ( McDonalds ) yesterday. I have been getting increasingly bad at what I have been putting inside of my body. Sometimes I don’t eat enough or I forget to eat & the other times I binge eat which I definitely need to STOP doing. It’s just making me gain an unbelievable amount of weight. I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I want to change that and get back into a more healthy and positive mindset. I lack so much energy now & majority of the time I feel so sluggish I don’t know what to do with myself. I am going to get back into the gym as well. 2020 is all about being healthier. As of today, I am cutting out junk food, soda and doubling my intake of water. Which I also have been slacking on as well.

Reaching out to old friends. This is something that I ave actually started doing. I reached out to a friend who I haven’t seen in 10 years and it was so nice just grabbing lunch and catching up. I have become such an introvert as I have gotten older and as a freelancer I spend majority of my days at home, inside wearing a hoodie. So, I want to make an effort to start going out again. I want to take photos, grab coffee and travel again. It all stems from my mindset & since everyone is paranoid about the Coronavirus going around. It just makes me even more comfortable staying inside.

Focus on creating more meaningful content. I went from writing a blog post everyday to twice a week down to barely any. I know I have done wrong seeing as though I started on this platform before Instagram became as big as it is. I loved writing.Getting the words that were swirling around my head down. I loved being able to inspire everyone with my outfits for affordable prices. Which I still do but I have definitely branched out a lot since starting my blog. I keep mentioning that I want to go back to how I was when I first started. Even though my mindset, wardrobe and weight have changed throughout the years. I am getting back into it though. Since my fiancé works a bit farther now it is really hard to meet up with him to snap photos on his lunch break or even after work. So, I bought a tripod with a Bluetooth remote that I have been using to shoot my own photos. I have only used it inside my apartment so far and never took it outside but I think I want to try.

Start being more positive. This is slightly tricky. I have been being such a negative nancy lately and overthinking everything with my work. I am never satisfied and I have become my worst critic. I allowed my depression & anxiety to get the best of me. Which is another reason to always wanting to stay home and now do anything. I know that this is something that I need to work on and this month I want to make it a top priority of things I need to work on.

Wish me luck but I know that this is something I can do if I put my mind to it.

As much as I love Fall/Winter ( even though we really don’t get a proper Winter here in DC ) it does get unbelievably cold ( which I decide to just hibernate in my apartment ) but I think it’s around that time where I am WISHING for Spring. I want lighter layers, rain and slightly warmer weather. I also know that my wardrobe will relatively remain the same but it would be nice to incorporate some pastels here & there. A bit of a sprinkle. I have really been obsessing lately over ‘Sage Green’ oh how in love I am with that color. I honestly did order this really pretty pastel yellow shirt which I might return if it doesn’t look right on me. With that being said I wanted to share some items from some of my current fav websites/stores to shop from.

First up is of course H&M. I am in LOVE with so many of their new pieces! Does this make me want to really start incorporating colors back into my wardrobe? Probably not but Sage Green & Lavender does look amazing against my skin tone so I might be slightly tempted in a few pieces being permanently in my wardrobe for Spring.

The second brand that I will be talking about is starting to creep up in my wardrobe as well. Nastygal.  I actually don’t shop on their website often but when I do I always end up finding some awesome gems.

The 3rd brand I’d get some of my more pricier neutrals is Missguided. I will admit that I have a love hate relationship with Missguided & even Nastygal if I am honest. Their prices literally don’t make sense sometimes which in the end makes me find alternatives of alternatives.

Another brand that is creeping back up on my radar for basics is Boohoo. I actually stopped buying from Boohoo for awhile after I found out that they charged for international fees without disclosing it with the consumer in the beginning. The thing that bothered me the most was that it was a separate charge to your card so it wasn’t like it was apart of my order. Now that I know I am VERY VERY careful when ordering. I ask myself do I need any of these items that I cannot get anywhere else online or in store.

Last but not least we have NARS for beauty. I recently got into using NARS basically everyday a couple months ago and it was the best decision ever. Now that I know how to do makeup better ( especially my eyebrows ) I have just been eying their products like no tomorrow!

This post is about her capsule collection that she created with H&M. As many of you guys know H&M is one of my favorite fast fashion brands. I know that sometimes they have had their share of controversies but they learn from their mistakes. I was excited when I heard about her collaboration & even more excited to learn that we were hosting her here in DC for a small intimate event. So, you guys know since I was already working the event it was insane. There was a packed house & people were legit waiting to see if anyone wouldn’t show up to get their seats. Ruth herself was such an angel. She was probably the kindest celebrity that I have ever had the opportunity to alongside.

I am normally the one taking all of the BTS shots but this time I was able to get a photo with Ruth. She actually didn’t like how our first set of photos came out so she wanted to take some more. The lady who was waiting after me was a little upset but Ruth didn’t seem to care that much. After the event was over she came over to us and thanked us for our hard work and shared some secrets on some upcoming projects which I am SO excited for!

I have linked some of my favorite pieces from her capsule collection with H&M down below!

Man oh man I never thought that I would be writing this post again. I told myself that I was going to keep writing but in the end I neglected my blog & placed all of my attention on getting back into Youtube. Which is failing by the way. I still don’t understand the ins and outs but I am still going to post videos on there praying that I get used to it.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this post. Should I start with the good or the bad? Happiness or sadness. There are so many thoughts swirling around my head that I just want to get it all out & maybe feel a little better.

I guess I will share the good that has happened this month first. I recently reconnected with a friend from high school. We haven’t seen each other in 10 years so it was really nice grabbing lunch with her and catching up. It literally felt like no time had passed between us at all. We even realized that we never fought or had an argument when we were younger. Let’s be real we are pushing close to 30 now but it was just nice talking about the past, the present and the future. I don’t I think that it was something that I needed. There will definitely be more get togethers in the future as well.


The ending of January into the beginning of February was not the best for me. So, when I got an invite to go and create my own candle...I said hell yes. I was invited to Paddywax Candle’s new location in Georgetown where we got to create our own candles & pick our own scents. It was actually the first time I have ever done something like this so it was a memorable experience. Their whole location was so aesthetically pleasing that I cannot wait to go back.

Overall the best thing about this month would be meeting Ruth Carter. We actually hosted her & styled her new collection with H&M. It was such a fun event & I am thankful I was able to meet her. She has such a kind soul. I definitely look forward to working with her in the future!
