Currently At The Moment

I'm getting ready for work, imagining a life I hope to soon have. Also, can I just say how good The Scream TV show is? Recently, Tubi added the show to its extensive horror catalog. Honestly, perfect to wind down this summer slasher movie run I've been on. I'm dreading leaving for work today. It's the weekend, you know? Working on making myself feel a little more excited before work. I worked out this morning. A 30-minute insanity video, which was pure insanity. Sprayed my room with a nice scent and made myself a breakfast sandwich. I'm focusing on getting in a better mindset; I believe that's a big part of really shifting my life. Anyway, this was my CATM... Hope your weekend is filled with a good time.

CATM: Keep Calm and Bring Back 2016!

 

Keep Calm And Bring Back 2014-2016! I'm old enough now!

Thinking about that youtube/tumblr 2014/2016 era. Honestly, I miss it so much! How saturated the videos were, bright and just so carefree. Don't even get me started on the DIYs (I'm talking about you, laurdiy). I was a huge YouTube preteen, then a teen, and now an adult. Seeing how much YouTube has changed now is a little sad. Also makes me wonder: was it just because I was basically a kid watching it?

For the past couple of days, I've been watching Niki and Gabi, Alisha Marie, Teala Dunn, and so many favs who made that time so great! So I can tell you, whatever was in the water back then was absolutely 10x better. I wonder if the change is mostly because of short-form content. Anyway, collab videos and channels were my favorite videos. I was in a really brief collab channel on YouTube when I was younger. I don't remember the name of the channel. And I don't know how to find the channel. That's the story of my really short-lived YouTube career.

The DIY room decor, from the tie-dyed shorts. I somehow bought my own tapestry and fairy lights with no job during this time. (Honestly thinking about bringing them back) My room could use some more pop right now! Looking back at the Tumblr decor videos, everything was so much fun, also sometimes random lol. Everything was floral or galaxy print. With the slogan "Keep Calm..." Slapped on everything.

The Makeup! I mean baddie makeup is definitely what I'm trying to master learning right now! The very defined eyebrows, bold lip with extra extra extraaa highlight! With a nasty smoky eye. The makeup tutorials during this time seemed so straight to the point.

This was a quick rundown of some of my favorite things from 2014-2016. Let me know what your favorite things were during this time. I'll be releasing a playlist of some of my favorite tracks during this era soon lol. If you made it this far, thanks so much for reading.

Up top is a picture from my guestbook. I decided to upload a short video of my thrift haul from my trip to Chicago. I'm sure I'll get better at filming; my name is divapunk4ever, but I hope you enjoy! I miss 2014/2016 lol, so I want to make a collab video with someone. Don't know how I'm gonna pull that off. But go check out my YouTube video, please!!

What The Hell Did I Do Last Night?

 

Dealing with your hungover, embarrassing nights, regretting that last shot that took you over the edge. Wondering to yourself, omg, what did I do? Or what the hell was I thinking? Honestly, because I wasn't. I've been trying not to overthink my embarrassing moments. But that makes me wonder. How many of us let these moments linger in our minds? Cringing to ourselves for the next two weeks, just hoping it’s not as bad as it seems. I’m still learning, so this isn’t an advice post. Just realizing most of us have felt the same way.  A universal feeling I’ll unfortunately probably experience again. 🙃

Ways I get over embarrassment, honestly, the first thing to do

1. Admit to yourself you were being crazy, a little weird. Who cares! I promise the same people you embarrassed yourself in front of have done the same or worse.

2. Give it time; yeah, the next day it's fresh on everyone's mind, maybe even the next three. After a week or two, the cringyness starts to fade. 

3. Apologize if you've done something that warrants an apology. 

4. Last thing, understand you're human who's sometimes going to do really dumb things you might not even remember.

Anyway, enjoy the rest of your week.

I need my readers help!

 

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to a new month! As of today, it's close to 200 of you following the lifestyle of a divapunk! I'm so excited to share more with you about my life, fashion, and the media I consume. I want to make this quick; I have two new things being added to my site! Later today, a new page has been added: tutorials for this blog, including the lined paper tutorial. The next thing I'm working on includes you!

To the right of my site, I've added a mailbox/contact form for you to fill out. I want to know more about the people who read my blog. So for August, I'm adding a "divapunk reader column." I want you guys to fill out this form on a topic I pick. I also understand some people might want to remain anonymous. And I'll make sure anyone willing to share will remain just that. This month I want you to remind me of a time you felt most confident. For me, I would say when I'm usually with my family. They make me laugh the most, protect me, and always make me feel the most comfortable in myself. 

More surprises to come; I'm working on my styling portfolio. Trying to see if any readers would want a free digital styling. If that's something you're interested in, I've added a separate form you can fill out.

May you find joy,
