I'm in love with Jon Bernthal

 Hey Divas,

  I had to come on here mid vacation to tell y'all about my man, Jon Bernthal. I am literally obsessed with him! He looked so fine in Spiderman: Brand New Day. He just looks so sexy in general. I'm so down bad for him.

  I have been getting all these text message stories about him on TikTok and I am eating it up so bad! He has been my neighbor, dad's best friend, and baby daddy in all these stories lmao. Have y'all seen those tiktoks before or are they only on my fyp haha?

Anyways, I'm going back to my vacation, but here is a TikTok of my man <3

Fall decorating time!

 Hey Divas,

Today is finally the day where I start decorating my home for fall/halloween! 

I was going to wait a bit longer until September, but I have a free weekend and just decided to do it tonight since I am in the fall mood! I am going to make dinner right now then watch a fall movie and decorate! It was cloudy and rainy today, so it's literally the perfect vibes for this!

I plan to start transitioning my blog into fall and halloween theme too! I can't wait for you divas to see it! <3

Do I start over again?

 Hey Divas,

    What do you do if you're stuck in between two choices on how you want your life to go?

   I am currently struggling because I recently moved to Washington for a new college and major, but now I think I actually found another degree that I would really want to pursue. 

   I have always wanted to study American Indian Studies since I was in high school. So at 18 I packed up and moved to Kansas for 5 years for school. A lot of stuff happened in those years, but getting the degree wasn't one of them. I went to school for 2 years then realized I wanted to travel and live life for a while because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do anymore. I don't regret it one bit because I got to see so many places! Last summer I decided to go back to school and I applied to a school in Washington because I wanted to be on the West Coast closer to my family. I am officially here in Washington as of March, and I started classes too! I am barely about to finish my first semester, and I am liking the school and my classes, but recently I have been thinking that I should've pursued a career in journalism or media communications.. I am struggling because I just switched my major to Tribal Management.I have always been passionate about that and American Indian Studies, but what if my passion is also with writing and social media? 

   I have been posting on social media for fun for the past 4 years maybe, and I have always been happy having it as my hobby while studying for my degree. But recently I have been thinking about what if I were to actually study communications and journalism. I recently started this blog not too long ago, and I love it. I have loved writing and making this website. I love creating content and just being creative in general. I could really see myself thriving and loving going into this career path. I could also see myself sticking with Tribal Management, and keeping my social media as a hobby.

   So basically I'm in a dilemma on what I should do? I just moved my life across states to move to Washington. Do I just leave it again? Do I switch majors? My college doesn't even offer the major I would want, so I would have to completely switch schools. Schools that are obviously more expensive than where I'm at now. I am so young, barely 24, and I know I can start over at anytime especially since I literally just started over this year. For some reason this time I feel more nervous about changing my path again and pursuing journalism and media, maybe because I'm even more passionate about it? 

Anyways, if you have any advice or comments on what I should do lmk! <3

Journalism; The It Girl Job

 Hey Divas,

   Journalism is the 'It Girl job' of most 2000s romantic comedy films. Films like: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Devil Wears Prada, 13 Going on 30, and Confessions of a Shopaholic portray these strong, hardworking female characters that have inspired women to pursue a career in journalism. 

 Journalism is a job with many different outlets, topics, and opportunities. Since journalism has many different topics it helps people find interest in this industry.

 For example, these characters from these movies all write and design for different type of journalism. Jenna Rink (from 13 Going on 30), comes up with magazine spreads for Poise magazine, while Rebecca Bloomwood (Confessions of a Shopaholic), is a financial journalist. Andie Anderson (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) and Andy Sachs (The Devil Wears Prada) both are interested in more political, environmental type of journalism, but they both start off at fashion magazines. 

 These films empower women to be hardworking, ambitious, and to romanticize their careers. These type of movies are my favorite because they show the characters having romance and friendships, while also having these amazing careers! Like who wouldn't be inspired to be a journalist after seeing them romanticize life in the city and being a successful writer?

 I know I am so inspired by them and wish I would've tried to become a journalist. I am already working towards a different degree, but who knows maybe I will eventually be able to pursue journalism, media communications or writing one day.

Decor Ideas I Love

 Hey Divas,

I have been trying to decorate my bedroom more, so here are some of the ideas I have been loving and want to add to my room!

Jewelry Dart Board

This dart board is literally so cute! I love how you can display your necklaces! I have been hoping to find a dart board while thrifting, but I have had no luck yet.

Magazine wall

I already have a rack to hold my magazines, but I think it would look so cute if I displayed some on my walls so it's part of the decor!

Wine/Martini glass full of lippies

This glass full of lip products or mini perfumes is SO cute! I have so many lippies that I think this would be an amazing way to store them!

Purse Wall

I have been seeing so many videos of people displaying their purses in their bedroom and I love it! I bought some hooks today, so I'm going to attempt to hang them! I'll keep y'all updated if I get it to work or not lol.

 Hey Divas,

Here's a haul of all the stuff I got this past week!<3

Apple Pencil

I have been needing an Apple Pencil for so long, but I've been putting it off. I finally got one because I needed it for school!

Ghostface shirt & Twilight pillow

I got these when I went to spirit halloween! the shirt is so cute because its ghost face and also it has vhs on it! and you know I love physical media and movies! The twilight pillow is also supposed to be a vhs tape! 

Monster High Michael Myers doll

I decided to get back into monster high dolls because I loved them as a kid, so when I seen that MH was releasing this Michael Myers inspired one I had to preorder it! I hope it comes before halloween so I can display it next to my halloween movies! 

Books

I bought these two books the other day on my trip to barnes! Everyone was saying such good things about these books this summer that I had to get them! 

New Youtube Video

Hey Divas,

I just posted a new YouTube video! I haven't posted in forever, but I'm going to try to get back into it! If you like watching book shopping vlogs this is the one of you! I decided to go book shopping yesterday for national book lovers day! <3

Augtober

 Hey Divas,

It's Augtober, which means fall has officially started!

Yesterday I spent the day pretending it was fall! I went to spirit halloween and bought a few spooky items and looked at all the decor and costumes! I was trying to get some costume inspo. It has been so hot where I live that having this pretend fall day was nice and made me so ready for fall time! I am going to start transitioning into watching my fall movies and shows! 

I plan to take out my halloween decorations this weekend so I can slowly start decorating for Fall/Halloween! I love decorating my house for holidays especially halloween! 

Are you ready for fall or are you still enjoying summer?

Romcom mindset

 Hey Divas,

Do you have a favorite New York romcom that you watch? 

Today I was thinking of rewatching Confessions of a Shopaholic, then it got me thinking about how much I love New York and the 2000s vibes that all these romcoms give. These romcoms always make me wish I was a journalist who wore cute outfits and fell in love in the most charming way.

 I decided it's time for me to start trying to live my life like I am a these romcom characters. I need to romanticize my life like these characters do; I need to go out and do things and socialize in order for anything remotely romcom worthy to happen. Not even romance wise, but friend wise too, these characters have great friends, social lives, and jobs. 

I also want to change up my style a bit, and actually get dressed up no matter where I go. I just want to look and feel good like these characters. They always have such amazing outfits and style. 

With that in mind, I am going to have a New York romcom marathon! 

Comment some movies you recommend!

Reading Slump

 Hey Divas,

I have been in a reading slump the entire month of July! Ugh I hate it because even though I have been busy with school etc. I still have some time to read and I just have no motivation to pick up a book!

I read half a book a couple weeks ago and I was loving it, but the minute I put it down I haven't picked it back up since! 

Does anyone have any tips to get me out of this reading slump?

I JUST WANT TO READ SO BAD!

Physical Media

Hey Divas,

Physical media is so back!

Myself and so many others are bringing back physical media in these modern technology times. Everyone collects physical media for many different reasons, but the main reason people are reverting to older technology/physical media is because they want to actually own their media. 

Technology now is great, but do we really own anything if it's all digital? One day the internet can fail, or every digital platform can erase everything, and what would we have? Nothing. If we store everything online, our movies, books, photos, and music then we relay solely on these apps to keep our memories and media. These companies or higher ups can alter and delete any media they see fit, but if it's physical we will always have that media with the original content on it. So many streaming platforms remove so many shows and movies all the time, that's why I started collecting because I wanted to make sure I can watch my favorite shows and movies whenever I want.

My physical media collection just continues to grow everyday because I collect books, DVDs, VHS movies, vinyl records, CDs, and magazines! I started my physical media collection with books because I love reading and knew I wanted to grow a library in my home. Right now I have 500+ books in my home library! I also collect kids books for my nieces, and maybe future children. My DVD collection is my second biggest collection in my home, because I collect all types of movies and shows, from romcoms, children, action and horror movies! I recently started collecting magazines and I love it because you get to read so many articles by different people, plus you can see good pictures of actors etc. The new Devil Wears Prada 2 movie solidified my decision on collecting magazines because I used to only have like 2 magazines, but that movie showed how technology could be taking over physical media and journalism, so I decided to start growing my magazine collection. I even collect older technology like crt tv, and gaming consoles. I plan to make another post fully about those, but I just wanted to mention it since I collect them.

If you want to see my physical media collection I can post some pictures about it! Or I post about it on my other socials too if you'd like to check them out.
