Quarantine Thoughts - Day 35

-
Today has been one of those days where I don’t want to do anything. Woke up with little energy and not even breakfast brought it back. I forced myself to take the classes I had planed for today right after breakfast but the idea of doing anything else after it was killing me. But not posting today was killing me more, so I managed to combine both and decided I was going to write about having a non-productive/lazy day.




I guess that’s the reality of quarantine, right? We don’t always have the same mood or will to do stuff, or ideas even. I don’t know whether to nap, watch something or just stay still. And that’s okay. We have to recharge sometimes. At least I know I do. Back when I learned how to edit videos, my brain was “overheating”, I could feel it just bursting with too much information, and the day after that I only turned on my pc at 9 PM. I had to take a break. A break to do nothing or close to nothing.

I don’t feel like I’m at that point now, I just feel a bit lazy. The day is gray outside, classes were a bit boring and I feel like being still and enjoying some good relaxation.

For me, relaxation calls for movies/series/binging videos; a warm bed/couch; a blanket and beer. And I’m set for the day!

I still want to try to stream later, so I need to come up with some energy by then. Speaking of it, here’s last night’s highlight:

Assiste a Destaque: (Barely) Defeating the Wizened Hag! de viciouskelly em www.twitch.tv

I hope you can relate somehow to what I’m feeling today, and realize that it is something normal to feel and nothing to be ashamed of (you don’t have to compare yourself to what you see on social media every day. It’s ok to take time off.).

Keep safe and have a nice day!

Everyday Makeup

I hardly have been wearing makeup lately, as I’m staying home as much as I can, but considering today was Mother’s Day, I wanted to look good for some pictures so, I got my Ultimate Nyx Palette, some eyeliner, mascara and nude lipstick and went to town! Well, actually, my makeup is pretty simple, and that’s how I like it! So, this is how I do it: I take shade 1. and put it all over the lid, then I blend it out as much as I can. Sometimes, when I use too much shadow and I’m having a hard time blending, I like to take the first shade in the palette, that white/translucent color, and use it to help blend out the edges. Then I take shade 2. (a shimmery pinky bronze) with my finger and I apply that to the center of the lid for that beautiful pop! Unfortunately, the shimmers in this palette don’t come out with that wet effect that I would like, but it’s the best that I have for now. Finally, I take a smaller brush and apply shade 3. (a very light gold) in the inner cor

Quarantine Thoughts - Day 34

Today is still rainy outside. Since I couldn’t go out there and show you more garden stuff, I decided it was a good opportunity to clean, declutter and show you what’s in my makeup bag! Truth be told, I don’t remember the last time I wore makeup, but I’ve been feeling inspired to use some, so let’s start! I only own 5 brands of makeup so I separated all my items by brand, to make it easier to tackle. So, I’ll start with the brand I own most products of: Avon . From top to bottom, I have foundation, eye products and lip products. The foundation is nothing special, pretty day-to-day, low coverage foundation. For my eyes I have a green gel-stick eyeliner (I don’t even know...); a skin toned cream multipurpose pencil that I use under eyeshadow (so that the pigments show up better); a black gel-stick eyeliner; some mascara (does nothing for me) and a loose pigment purple eyeshadow. For the lips, I have a red lip pencil, followed by 4 red lipsticks, 2 pink lipsticks and

Antisocial: An experiment without social media

-

  As technology evolved over the years, the ability to communicate and share our lives online became common, essential even. Nowadays, we carry some of the most important aspects of our lives in our pockets and most people would be horrified at the prospect of being a day (maybe even hours) without their phones. Some can admit social media is like an addiction to them, but most people I know (myself included) would disagree. I always thought I didn’t really need socials in my day-to-day, I only have them because I like taking pictures, checking up on my friends’ lives and that’s basically it. But lately I’ve been wondering what it would be like to not have social media at all. Would it make me more active? More depressed? That’s where the idea for an experiment came along. I decided I was going to delete all my social media from my phone for 7 days and record my thoughts and feelings about it. Are you ready?   Day 1 – No more procrastinating? I think my relationship with my
