I, like every other ‘90s kid, am a victim to nostalgia. Not just with the childhood shows, toys, and games, but with memories, people, and experiences. I used to hold onto relationships and friendships that were bad for me, using our memories and history as reasons to validate why I should still keep them. But that’s how things turn toxic

Other than just bad relationships, I always tend to romanticize the good times that have already passed. Although I daydream about them a lot, I remember how I may not have been in the best mental / emotional / whatever state at that time either. So it’s a very bittersweet feeling.

Letting go of things don’t happen overnight, and a lot of that process included meeting new people, getting into new hobbies, my friends yelling at me xD, and time. For me, this included meeting my new friends in California, meeting my boyfriend, getting into physical activities, and further developing my voice through animation / art. After time has passed, it’s interesting to see how your reaction to a past memory is different from before. There was so much more effort put into clinging onto the past before, and now I acknowledge it, maybe I’ll make a comic about it, and move forward.

When people find out that my dog is afraid of men: Oh, the poor thing must have been traumatized when she was younger! Poor baby, I just want to hold and comfort her and let her know she’s safe.

When people find out that I, an adult human woman, am afraid of men: Um, not *all* men, sweetie. You can’t go your whole life being afraid. Get over it.

When my dog was allowed to get a hysterectomy: She doesn’t need to have puppies to have a happy, healthy like with her adoptive family.

When I, an adult human woman, want to get a hysterectomy: But having children will make you happy! You might change your mind!

‘Glow Up’ Tips

It’s kind of long, but here is a list of tips/ideas I feel are most important to improve yourself/glo up this summer (or anytime for that matter). -Nat

Take up a new hobby/skill (such as)

Learn how to play an instrument

Learn a new language

Learn how to manage stress

Take a course (online or elsewhere) in something you’re interested in

Build better habits (like)

Skincare routine/Taking care of your skin in general

Self-care routine (Not necessarily face mask and bath bombs, it could be anything from clipping your fingernails to setting aside time to read or do yoga etc)

Working out/Exercising every day

Break bad habits (like)

Going to bed really late

Eating lots of ‘junk’ food/drinking sugary drinks

Cut down screen time

Read!

Self-help*, fiction, non-fiction, how-to books

*Sarah Knight’s The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving A F**k, Get Your Sh*t Together, and You Do You are at the top of my list along with You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero

Get a new look

Clean out your wardrobe and add new pieces

Get a haircut/look for new ways to style your hair

If you’re into makeup play around with different looks

Get a piercing or tattoo if it’s something you’ve been meaning to do

Hydrate!

Because we all knew it was coming. Summer can get extremely hot so fight off dehydration by keeping water at hand

Get a job/fix up your resume/start saving money

Easier said than done, I know, but @yournewapartment has tons of tips on job searching and all that other fun adult stuff (it’s my absolute favourite blog. I’m always learning new tips and tricks to win at life from it)

Get organised

Organise your spaces/belongings (bags, bedroom, apartment/house, storage, etc)

Invest in a planner/bullet journal/notebook to keep track of events and to-do’s (your phone works too but personally I prefer a physical copy)

Focus on your mental health

Work on ending toxic relationships (romantic, platonic, or familial)

Or work on not being the toxic part of a relationship

If you need professional/medical help to manage your mental health take the steps to do so

Let your main focus be on you and doing what’s best for you, not what negatives people have to say about you

Have some zero days where you don’t do anything besides focus on you/do the things you want to do

Get to know yourself/Do a self-assessment

Think about who you are and who you want to be

Think about your immediate goals and goals for the future

To both of those things ask yourself how are you going to achieve them/set SMART goals

Identify your likes and dislikes

Fight negative thoughts/learn to accept your flaws (it’s hard and you may fall back into that pattern of thinking every once in a while, but as long as you keep fighting you’ll start to see progress)

Make memories/Go on adventures

With your family, friends, by yourself etc

Often times we can get so caught up in our hustle that we forget to relax and have fun- therefore set aside time to do something relaxing/fun every week or two such as going to the mall, out to eat, or curling up at home with a good book/movie.

Glow Up tips

this summer is a great opportunity to glow up on the asses of those who have slept on you. Hope everyone has an amazing come back and that you all get that “ they got hot this summer”

1. drink plenty of water: i know that this is any every “tips post” but it’ll help you maintain a beautiful complexion, fresh breath, help with weight loss, and so so so much more 

2. coconut oil: this is the shit! use it for your hair, your face, your legs ….everything. 

3.exercise: do your squats, eat healthy food. best form of revenge is a super hot body.

4. post so many selfies on social media …. make sure the photos are super dope and look very luxurious and mysterious and fancy and work on getting more followers. i suggest you look through Russian Instagram to find poses and study selfie angles.

5. have a stunning wardrobe: you don’t need lots of money to dress like you’re rich. it’s all about how you combine your clothes together. chose neat, fshionable clothes. velvet is really in this year and so are lace up dresses and t-shirts. Asos has a very wide range of trendy clothes and it’s not too expensive. You also get 10% off if you’re a student. /p>

6.read and watch lots of movies: get educated and informed over the summer. feed your soul with sophistication. read philosophical books or whatever kind you like . watch old movies. 

7. step OUT of your comfort zone: don’t go to bed unless you’ve done something each day that you have never done before. it’ll be a great t boost for your self confidence. i promise!

8.go out, have fun, takes lots of pictures and post them. it doesn’t have to cost much, a simple trip to the beach will do .. just flash that hot hot summer body.

9. be humble, but still, let those bitches know. 

10. meet new people and post selfies with them.

11. get a haircut or change your haircut or whatever as long as you change something, have a makeover.

12. do weekly DIY spa days: you can make your own pedi, amni, body scrub, facial masks with ingredients from your kitchen. 

13.take good good care of yourself and make sure you’re stress free and happy.

14.stay away from people who make you feel like shit.

15. avoid seeing your fake friends and stick to the passive agressive braging snapchat/IG routine.

16.gloooooow from the inside out. 

 17. if you have super dry hair and split ends like me, for the love of whatever you believe in just ditch the hair Iron and hair curler and blow dryer…these are the enemy..I know it’s super hard to do especially if you always style your hair with heat but try to find an alternative and only use heat once a week if you must.

 18. You should probably consult with your doctor(don’t do this if you’re pregnant/breastfeeding/allergic) …I take biotin once a day and honestly my fingernails grow like crazy and they are super strong and long so I don’t put on acrylics…it’s also good for your hair and metabolism.

 19. dry hair ? almond oil and jojoba oil itchy scalp/dandruff ? add a few drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo dull hair ? Mayo . and anything can be solved with coco oil.

 20. tea tree oil is a must for clearing ur acne.

 21. soak your feet in baking soda and water and then use a pumic stone to remove dead skin cells. 

 22. for a deep cleansing mask I mix 1 tablespoon of clay with a few drops of tea tree oil and a tablespoon of cold water. If you have dry skin don’t use tea tree oil and add jojoba oil instead of water.

 23.moisturize your face twice a day after cleaning with grapeseed oil.

 24. for #teamnosleep.. if you have dark circles apply a mask from coffee grinds and almond oil twice a day then rinse witb cold water and moisturize with a good (preferably natural) eye cream.

 25. strech marks ? I’ve got the holy grail. if you have a coffee machine you can reuse the capsules/grinded coffee by emptying it to a container, adding brown sugar and a bit of sesame oil/coconut oil and mix …voila …you have your DIY coffee scrub. leave on for 10 minutes in the shower and use everyday and you will notice your skin begining to repair itself.

26. Your fake friends are treating you like crap and are forgetting your worth?

you are a goddess, you do not deserve to be slept on or even minorly disrespected. Don’t you ever forget that. You should not feel like shit when you are champagne in a crystal glass and they are lukewarm piss in a plastic cup.

do not send them messages wondering why they have changed or start a fight or even send them an angry text, they’ll think they have a worth and actually mean something to you. instead, you ignore them so hard they will even begin doubting their own existence and yet keep posting pics of yourself having fun ( or pretending to have fun) abd be all bougie and uninterested.

 send me your glow up pics dolls and send me more tips🖤🖤

A BAKER’S GUIDE TO COOKIE SCOOPS

Follow for recipes

Is this how you roll?

[teamvoorhees]

Easy Soft Flat Bread (no yeast needed)

2 cups All purpose flour   + keep extra handy ½ tsp sea salt 3 ½ Tbsp butter (or use coconut oil) ¾ cup milk (can use unsweetened almond milk) ½ tbsp olive oil (or sunflower, coconut or safflower)

Mix butter and milk over low heat just until butter is melted. Remove from heat, mix in salt and 2 cups of flour.

Sprinkle your table or counter with flour and dump the dough blob onto it. Kneading it with your hands, add dustings of flour until it’s not sticky. Don’t add too much, we aren’t making cement blocks. (this bread doesn’t take much kneading)

Wrap the finished unsticky dough in plastic wrap and let it sit for 30 minutes. Unwrap it, plop in back onto the floured surface, separate it into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then roll it out flat (use a large glass dipped in flour if you don’t have a rolling pin) until it’s about 1/8" thick. If you make it a bit thicker, just cook it longer :)

Heat ½ Tbsp oil in a skillet/big fry pan over medium heat. Cook each flatbread: about a minute, it will make bubbles -  flip it, cook about another minute. You can smush the bubbles or not (I don’t). Wrap cooked breads in a towel to keep them soft. Yum. You just made sammich breb!

Cheap vegan low cal soup

Yall idk how many people are gonna see this but I had to share this super simple recipe because it’s my absolute fav. The entire pot is about 300 calories, and it lasts for days, even if you have it for every meal of the day. Always be careful with restricting, and maybe have this alongside some more steamed veggies. Getting adequate nutrients is a must!!

Ingredients:

1 carrot (30cal)

1 celery stalk (10cal)

1 white onion (60cal)

3 cloves garlic (or less; it’s really just to taste) (15cal)

2 tomatoes (62cal)

1 bunch spinach (79cal) (sometimes I prefer using only half a bunch, but during THAT time of the month I feel as though a full bunch is needed, for extra iron)

3 tsp paprika (18cal)

2 tsp cayenne pepper (12cal)

2 tsp black pepper (12cal)

Salt (to taste, add to every bowl)

(Calories given are generous estimates)

Instructions:

Chop all ingredients EXCEPT spinach and add to large pot; add spices; add 8 cups of water. Bring everything to a boil, add spinach, lower heat to low or medium setting and let simmer for up to 1hr. Remove from heat, add salt to each bowl, and serve.

Obviously modify for your liking (this recipe is mildly spicy), and feel free to add in any other veggies (potatoes if you want to feel fuller, etc.)

If you give it a go, lemme know if you liked it or if any improvements could be made! I know for a fact I’ve beem wanting to add a bayleaf or some parsley for added flavour, just haven’t been able to afford such luxury ingredients lol.

Resume, cover letter, application, and interview advice from someone who has spent the last 3 months doing nothing but looking at resume, cover letters, applications, and interviewing job candidates. 

Cover letters

PLEASE ACTUALLY WRITE A COVER LETTER

I’m serious

Fucking write one. 

Even if it doesn’t get read, having a cover letter will elevate you above people who didn’t bother to write one. 

If possible, address the letter to the person who will be reading it

This will probably take some research, but putting any name is better than saying “to whom it may concern”

Have a template for your cover letter, but always change it for the job. 

Mention the job title in the first paragraph.

Make sure the last paragraph thanks the reader and says you’ll follow up about the job title. 

You want to reader to feel like you wrote the letter for them. If they start to feel like you have a canned cover letter, they’re going to stop reading. 

A good resume formula

Greeting - as mentioned above, address your cover letter to the right person.

Opening - Be personable, mention why your skills are a great fit for the job

Hook - Highlight your past achievements and how they relate to your job. 

Skills - mention your additional skills that will be good for the job

Closing - Do a quick recap of your skills and include your contact info. 

Keep it to one page. ONE FUCKING PAGE.

If you go onto a second page you better have a damn good reason. 

Don’t just rehash your resume.

They have your resume, they don’t need you to rewrite your job history for them, they can see it. 

Use your cover letter to tell a story and highlight your skills in that story. 

Like I mentioned in my resume post - don’t say you’re a hard worker, show the reader that you’re a hard worker. Show, don’t tell. 

Highlight the skills you bring to the job.

Pull  the important parts of the job description and weave that into your story. 

Don’t mention the parts of the job description you don’t have

That will only serve to highlight your lack of experience in 

Focus on the skills you do have. 

Don’t bullshit, the reader will know what bullshit looks like. 

Don’t say you have skills that you don’t have, but don’t be afraid to up sell the skills you do have. 

Brag about yourself. This letter is suppose to sell you, don’t be afraid to brag about your skills and experiences. 

Try to learn to master the humble brag.

The reader already knows your name, it’s on your resume and in your signature, so don’t tell them again in the first paragraph. 

ALWAYS PROOF READ.

PROOF READ IT AGAIN.

Have someone else proof read it after you proof read it.
