Antisocial: An experiment without social media

Image
  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...

Made by MG

You guys, I’m really excited about this week’s shoutout! I can’t tell you many details about what led me to contact this amazing person (I’m trying to make someone a surprise and I don’t want to spoil anything), but I really want to share all the beautiful things she does. Marisa Glória is a great artist that creates the most beautiful homemade items for her brand: Made by MG . She does décor, key-chains, accessories, the most exquisite baby items, ornated boxes, and she also does beautiful masks that really come in handy in the present time. The best thing about it all is that she can make it all custom made for you. And let me tell you, she made my vision come to life! For the gift I wanted to create (I will show it to you when it gets delivered, I promise!) she let me choose the fabric, the colors, the lettering, everything! And it is all so, so, sooooo affordable! She is constantly in touch, always telling you what’s going on, she works really fast and is so efficient with her ...

Personality Types

Image
So, the other day I was watching a Cinnamon Toast Ken’s video , on Youtube , in which he and his friend took a personality test online. I was really intrigued because they were really finding the results to be spot on, and I decided I wanted to take the test myself, for the fun of it! 16 Personalities Test The test they took was from the 16Personalities  website . In this website you are supposed to take a relatively quick quiz, in which you have to be as true to yourself as possible when answering each question. There are no right or wrong answers. In the end, the website will determine which of the 16 personalities best defines you, based on your answers. The 16 personalities are divided into 4 types: The analysts , diplomats , sentinels and explorer personalities. The Defender After completing the quiz, I got the Defender  personality, from the sentinel category. I couldn’t believe what I was reading! It was like the site was describing me! The introduction says: ...

Story Time: A Smoothie Disaster

Image
About two weeks ago I mentioned a book, Fern Green’s Smoothie Detox Bible and I said I was thinking of trying the 3-day detox plan, just to see what would happen. And I did. Kinda... I feel like I need to start by saying that crazy diets are a bunch of bullshit and never worthy. I went into this not seeing it as a diet (I was only trying it for a few days) but as an experience to write about afterwards. So, if you ever feel like you need to make a change in your life, when it comes to your eating habits, please always make sure to do it safely and with guidance from a professional . Now, back to the topic at hand. I read through the entire book and chose the recipes I wanted to try out for the 3 days, bought everything and then it started. I had my breakfast smoothie and tea and decided I was going to take some lessons from my course. Let me tell you, I had NO energy. Nothing. Partially is was my fault, because only after did I realize that there were better smoothie options fo...
