    • 2020 New Year Resolutions

      Posted at 9:14 pm by Kelli, on January 20, 2020

      Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a great year so far! This year I am really putting a challenge on myself to become a better and happier person. I wrote out a whole list of New Year Resolutions that I want to complete this 2020. I actually put them in a notebook and am logging the things I get done. What I mean by this is, for example, I want to workout at least three times a week. To keep myself motivated, I created a ‘workout log’ in a notebook so I will more likely hold myself accountable each week. Here are some more resolutions (and how I keep up with it):

      1. Self-care to help your mental health – I wrote a list of things I can do that could help my mental health. For example, workout, dance, hot shower, face mask, ect.

      2. Be a better friend and family member – I wrote out ways I could do this.

      3. Read at least x books in 2020 – When I read a book, I write the title, author and the date I finished reading it.

      4. Save money (goal: $5,000) – I write out the date I deposit money, the amount deposited and the total amount saved in 2020.

      5. Workout log (goal: 3 times a week) – I have writen ‘week x (month date – month date), and then under it have the day, how long I worked out and what kind of workout.

      6. Podcasts (goal: watch 2 a month) – I write the podcast name, the author and the date listened.

      7. Trying new things (at least 4 a month) – I write down the new thing I tried, the date I tried it and a note about if I liked it or not.

      8. Learn how to cook – I list the things I have cooked and when I cooked it.

      9. Youtube ideas – I have a list of ideas for my youtube channel.

      10. Blog ideas – I have a list of ideas for my blog.

      11. How to be more extroverted.confident – I have a list on things to achieve this.

      These are the New Year Resolutions that I have for this year. What are your New Year Resolutions? Do you have any suggestions on what else I can do to have a happy 2020?

    • Thanksgiving Break To-Do List

      Posted at 4:00 pm by Kelli, on November 27, 2019

      Hello everyone! I am finally on break for Thanksgiving, and I am so happy about it. I finally get a bit of a break to see family and relax. Well, kind of relax. I will still have to do work, but I have all weekend to do it. Plus, I might actually enjoy the work I have to do.

      Anyway, I decided to upload a Thanksgiving break to-do list. At the end of break, I’ll follow up with what I did.

      • Get my nails done
        • I am actually going to do this today. I should have probably waited because I don’t really need to spend money right now, but I’m doing it anyway.
      • Vlog my break
        • I hope to vlog my break. I am trying to get back into youtube again.
      • Practice cooking
        • I have been wanting to learn how to cook for a while now. I can follow directions. I just have to build up the motivation to actually do it. I don’t think my family has any plans for Thanksgiving so I was thinking about having my grandpa and I cook something.
      • Volunteer at the local animal shelter
        • This is a big maybe, but I really do want to. I just don’t know if I will have time. Plus, I plan on going with my friend so our schedules need to line up.
      • Work at the restaurant as much as they will let me
        • I need the money, lol.
      • Powerpoint for Comm Law and Ethics
        • I kind of dread this, but at the same time, I don’t think it will be hard to do. The hardest part is always starting it.
      • Meditation homework
        • I actually forgot about this, and I hope my printer will work or else I won’t be able to do this homework until I get back to school.
      • Prepare for interview!!
        • I hope when I come back from break I will have an interview for this internship I want next semester. I need to prepare for my first real interview ever.

    • Goals for June 2019

      Posted at 10:30 am by Kelli, on June 5, 2019

      Sadly, I did not do everything I wanted to last month, but hopefully this month will be better. I’m going to work hard to volunteer and post on YouTube this month.

      1. Go to the gym at least three times a week
        • I am confident that I’ll have this goal down because we (me and Tawnie) have been doing pretty good so far. We typically get up at 5 am, and we get to the gym by 6-6:30. We both like going to the gym earlier instead of later. It makes it feel like you have more time in the day to do other things.
      2. Volunteer at the animal shelter at least twice
        • I did not volunteer at all last month, but I’ve discussed it with Tawnie, and we might go by and volunteer after we leave the gym. I’m really excited to do this because volunteering at the animal shelter makes me really happy.
      3. Post on WordPress at least twice a week
        • I’ve been pretty good about posting. I’m going to try to get a tad bit better about it though. I haven’t post much here lately because I’ve been using my wifi to download some games on my new PS4.
      4. Post at least two YouTube videos
        • I tend to neglect my youtube channel. What kind of stuff do you like to watch on youtube – vlog wise. Maybe reviews, mukbangs, advice, etc. If you want any advice just let me know!
      5. work work work work work
        • I’ve been working so much it’s better to ask when I don’t work. But honestly even then I probably couldn’t tell you because I get called in last minute… No one else seems to want to work.
      6. Plan a vacation
        • I was going to plan a trip to Panama City Beach, Florida, but it’s gong to cost way too much, and I do not have a lot of friends that could go. I’m thinking about going to The Smokey Mountains instead. It’s been a while since I’ve been, and I would love to go there with some friends.
      7. Go on a hike with friends
        • I love hiking with friends! I think I’m actually going this weekend. There are a lot of parks around where I live with hiking trails.

      Here are seven goals I hope to complete this June. Do you have any goals for June? What are they?

    • Goals for May 2019

      Posted at 10:00 am by Kelli, on May 11, 2019

      These goals are mainly for my benefit because it is easier for me to get things done if I have them written out. With that being said, down below are the things I hope to do in May of 2019.

      1. Volunteer at the animal shelter at least twice.
        • I love volunteering at this local animal shelter with my friends. At the time of day we go, we usually finish walking what ever dogs have not been walked yet. Then we clean what ever it is that they want us to clean.
      2. Plant the flower seeds I got.
        • I love planting seeds, but I honestly have a hard time keeping them alive. I don’t have a green thumb when it comes to my own plants. I do help my grandpa with his gardening though. He grows lots of watermelons, cantaloupes, and tomatoes. We sell them all summer.
      3. Post on WordPress at least twice a week.
        • I’m hoping that I am able to stay consistent this time. A year ago, it was hard to decide what I wanted to write about, but now that I’ve decided to go with what ever is on my mind – whether it be a story, a recipe, or something like this – I’m going to go with it.
      4. Post on Tumblr at least once a week.
        • I like to write fan fiction and post it on Tumblr.
      5. Go to two festivals – Strawberry and Folk festival.
        • I went to the Strawberry festival a few days ago, but the Folk festival is next week. I’m really excited to go because there’s going to be music, crafts, and old cars.
      6. Post at least 2 YouTube Videos.
        • The only problem I have with posting YouTube videos is that I have to be really motivated and happy, but here lately I haven’t been that so I have been struggling to make content.
      7. Start working out again – 3 times a week.
        • I’ve been neglecting working out. This is probably part of the reason why I haven’t been motivated to make YouTube videos. I’m hoping to start running and lifting weights again.
      8. Work work work work work.
        • I have to pay for some schooling next school year so I need to work as much as I can. On top of that, I have to pay for groceries, books, and what ever necessities that I have.

      These are eight goals I hope to accomplish this month! Do you have any goals for this month? If so, comment them down below! 🙂

    • Goals for June 2018

      Posted at 6:42 pm by Kelli, on June 4, 2018

      June

      Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I have posted anything! Oops! School has been so hectic and I got lazy, but here I am again. I can’t believe it’s already June. To try and get my things a bit more organized, I wrote done some things that I want to do in June!

      1. Write part 1 for “Flower Shop Girl”

      I’ve started writing a book (one of many that I’ve started, lol) and I’m kind of excited for this. There’s probably not going to be too many parts, but I think it’ll still be cute. I’ll have it on my Tumblr so I’ll link my Tumblr profile at the bottom!

      2. Give friend driving lessons

      One of my friends is 19 and she doesn’t know how to drive so I told her that I’d teach her.

      3. Start YouTube videos again!

      I’ve been severely neglecting my YouTube channel. I’ll hoping be shooting a video today though! I’ll leave my personal channel and my joint account I have with my best friend at the bottom.

      4. Get sea shells from Shell Island

      In a few weeks I’m going to the beach with my dad, stepmom, and little brother! I love sea shells. 🙂

      5. Catch ’em all – Pokemon Go

      When this first came out I played it A LOT, but after a while everyone pretty much stopped. My guy best friend and I just recently started playing a lot again.

      6. Tan

      I feel better when I’m tan than when I’m white as a ghost. I’m happy with how my progress with it has been.

      7. Read at least 2 books

      I used to read all the time, but so much goes on that I don’t make myself have time for it. I’m about halfway done with one book though so I know I’ll be about to read another one before June is over with.

      8. Be healthy

      I’m going to try to start drinking a lot more water (I’ve already pretty much cut out sodas). I’m also going to start running again and cleaning my face more.

      ——-

      Tumblr

      Personal YouTube

      Coffee Talk with Kendyll and Kelli
