JANUARY RECAP (2024)

It’s the first month of a new year, and honestly, it’s been off to a pretty strong start! I’ve been getting back into the flow of creating again, as well as streaming and recording for the pod. I’m excited about what’s ahead, but first, I’ll share some highlights from this month!

MY TOP 3 STREAMING TIPS

OK, I know starting anything can be intimidating, but if streaming is one of those things you’re hoping to do in 2024, this is your sign to go for it! Cooper and I really love it and have found a great community of people who really encourage us to be ourselves and do what we love. But if you’re not sure where to begin, this blog is for you.

GOODBYE LETTER TO MY 20s, HELLO 30

It’s taken me a second to sit down and write this. In fact, it’s been a couple of months since I celebrated turning 30! I celebrated all weekend long with multiple themed days including an RIP to my 20’s dinner, 13 going on 30 movie night, and a Dirty 30 Drag Brunch. I don’t feel wiser or significantly older, but there have been some changes. So let’s get personal, and I’ll share what my thoughts are about entering this next chapter and how I felt about my 20’s.

MY TOP THREE FAVORITE GAMES RIGHT NOW

Playing video games has been a part of my life since I was very young. I would plug in two controllers to our N64, boot up Mario Kart, and tell my younger sister to “pay attention to Yoshi, that’s who you are” knowing very well that it was a CPU player she was watching (oops. sorry to all the younger siblings this happened to). I guess you could say I took it seriously even at age 9.

HOW I'M TAKING CARE OF MYSELF THIS YEAR

Over the years, I’ve taken on some pretty ambitious New Year’s Resolutions. There’s nothing wrong with that, but they can be tough to maintain. I do love the reset that a new year can bring, but as we move through the beginning of 2023, I’ve tried to be a little more intentional with setting realistic and practical ways for me to take care of myself on a daily basis.

29

In my early 20s, I used to hate when people thought I was younger than I was. No joke, airport security once said I could keep my shoes on since I was a kid. They literally thought I was a child, and I was probably 21 at the time. My height and lack of makeup probably contributed, but I wasn’t going to correct the assumption if it meant I didn’t have to shuffle on the airport tile in my socks waiting for my shoes on the other side of the conveyor.

SUMMERTIME SKINCARE ROUTINE

Summer can often mean we’re out in the sunshine enjoying the outdoors day after day, but taking care of your skin during that time can be tough. Sometimes the heat dries out my skin, or the sun exposure can cause damage. This summer, I’ve tried to be proactive about maintaining a routine that would combat those things and actively hydrate my skin.

5 YEARS MARRIED

I think it’s safe to say we are officially out of the newlywed phase and halfway to an “old married couple”. I always hated the comments from onlookers early on in marriage of “just wait, it will wear off soon” or “you’ll see one day, you’ll like each other less.” Sure, there are ups and downs, but I chose a partner that I can move through the ebbs and flows of life with. In tune with last year’s posts, here are five things that I’ve learned in five years of marriage. (P.S. Happy anniversary, Cooper!)
