Bemilie Blawkins will be getting a makeover soon! Keep an eye out for the transformation     

Why I Stopped Blogging…

No, I’m not dead, but my blog might be. After being able to be unemployed for five whole months I had all the time in the world to blog. It’s how I found blogging in the first place. But at 20 years old, you can’t really be unemployed for long, unless you were to get a “small loan of one million dollars“, which I don’t see in my future any time soon. Balancing work, the gym, cooking, grocery…

My last movie post was a rant about how Hollywood is killing creativity with sequel after sequel, so you might find it hypocritical of me that I went to so the new IT movie last weekend. Before you roll your eyes hear me out! My boyfriend technically bought the tickets and I was not necessarily looking forward to seeing the movie. In order for me to review the movie, I had to see it (no pun…

My First Guest Post!

I’ve been blogging for about 6 months now and I can confidently say I’ve come a long way from where I first started. Blogging is more than just waking up and writing a few paragraphs. You go through spurts of having all these ideas to write about, to being completely stumped for weeks. Then, it always seems like when you do have ideas to blog about you don’t have time to sit down and write! I…

Life is busy and fast, but one thing I always try to slow down for is breakfast. The same old same old gets boring. If I have to wake up early then I don’t really have an appetite. I have to really make something good to sort of bribe myself to eat. The thing that always does the trick for me is French toast!    French toast seems like it might take a long time, but trust me, it doesn’t! I’m also…

Stop Paying To See Sh*%#y Movies

I think the message is clear, Hollywood is failing. Box offices have been hitting some all time lows, ticket sales are plummeting, and creativity seems dead. What’s the deal!? Are people really out of new ideas for movies or is Hollywood just trying to do the least amount of work while still making just enough money in ticket sales? Sadly, I think it’s the second one. With “hits” like the remake…

I Used Men’s Razors and Here’s What Happened..

This post is definitely geared more towards the ladies, but boys, I’m sure you can find it just as interesting. I’ve been using razors for almost 12 years now (wow that’s weird to think about!). Most girls my age have only been using them for 10 or 9 years, but I got a head start after a trip to the lake with some friends in fourth grade (mom was thrilled about that). I think I’ve gone through…

So This Is Adulthood

My boyfriend and I have almost finished our first year of living on our own. Before moving in together, neither of us had ever really lived on our own before. It’s safe to say this year has been a huge learning experience. There have definitely been a few moments where my values have changed, my idea of the world in general has changed, and above all else, moments where I’ve thought to myself,…

The Kids Nowadays…

Normally I do a huge eye roll when I hear people complaining about the “children of this generation”. I being a millenial myself, sometimes feel targeted by the criticism. The one everyone hears the most has to be that “kids don’t play outside anymore” or “all they do is play on their phones“. Until recently I had never really been around too many kids younger than middle school. I hadn’t gotten…

How A Cookie Changed My Life

Who doesn’t like cookies? I think there is a cookie out there for everyone. Chocolate chip, double chocolate chip, sugar cookies, snicker doodles, gingerbread cookies, you want a cookie now don’t you? It might sound like an exaggeration but I’m pretty positive that a cookie did in fact change my life. It was two years ago, I was still working at Pink. I had put in my two weeks because myself back…

Paracusia (Short Film 2017)

I’m ecstatic to share with everyone that my boyfriend made his very first short film! The entire process was an eye opening experience. Making a movie was creatively challenging and grew my appreciation for film making more than any movie ever could. Telling a story is one thing, but telling a story and sparking your audience’s attention is a job all on its own. I always knew that creativity was…

I finally got my ipsy  for August! This months ipsy is all about good vibes. I’m all for it! I rate every ipsy bag on a 6 star scale. For more information on what ipsy is in the first place you can read my post on it here! Ok, let’s get to it! The bag itself for August. I’m really not too crazy over it. It’s definitely not something that I would use or would have ever picked out myself. Ipsy Bag…

What Genre Is Your Life?

Think of your favorite song, if you even have one. You’d be surprised how big of an affect music can have on your mood. When I was in high school I spent so much of my time looking up new music, finding new bands, and just rockin out in my room by myself. And if I was going to be home alone, I really went all out. Volume as high as it could go on my little ihome, who knows what I was playing at…

Coffee, something we all think of as an “adult” beverage. Not in my case. I’ve been drinking the bitter nectar since I was three years old! That’s no exaggeration. For some reason, when I was in pre-school, my mom and all of her teacher friends would have coffee at nap time, and I being the managers daughter, did not have to participate in nap time, so I got to drink coffee with the rest of the…

Oh love. Such a complicated word. Such a beautiful, sweet, princess’s and unicorns, word. Hahah! Wrong. Love is not what everyone thinks….. and I’m here to tell you guys why we need to hold back on the whole idea. Let me explain. From personal experience of course. I can remember exactly when boys became a big deal. It was about sixth grade. I was expecting to go into middle school with the best…
