The Bareknuckle Bastards: Review & Read Along
I think you said you got the tea at Aldi's but what brand is that? The espresso tea is the first one to truly intrigue me I really want to try it. Also, you have an over consumption problem, I struggle to buy Anything. We need to combine our powers and balance it out lol
The espresso black tea is Tea co. Benner from Aldi. From the advent calendar. I really liked it! I am going to have to hunt for something similar. I think it is their exclusive brand. One of my goals for next year is to consume as little as possible. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean I am not over consuming. Something I am learning and trying to control lol. I am glad we can balance each other out 😂
Happy Birthday!❤🎁🎂
Thank you!!
It's the little things in life (Vegeta stickers)
The description of the lavender tea genuinely made me laugh. I know I joked about 48 degrees not being cold but if out in it enough without like a hat, it can definitely mess with your sinuses and I always get Super tired first before really feeling anything else and know I have fucked up.
See our cold snap is on pause 70 plus days lately maybe that's what happened going from cold to sunny and warm. Lol I am glad I could make you laugh
You always have the cutest mugs
Thank you! I am currently banned from thrifting more lol. My cabinet can't take anymore 😅
Just found your channel, can’t wait to watch your other vlog,as vids, I love tea too! Ok now lemme go watch dragon ball z 👀
Welcome 🤗. Hope you enjoy! Oh let me know if you like DBZ! I recommend DBZ Kai it's the shorten version. Let's just just one fight can last a while. Kai makes it bearable.
“Don’t have regrets but still traumatized to this day” is an on point review of EITA 😂
It's the only way to explain it 😭
I liked That Christmas, so cute! Klaus is one of my favorites as well. And it's always a good time for a new hobby, ha ha...
Oh yes Klaus was a really good one as well! Got the water works going for sure.
My husband and I watch animated movies all the time too, I'll be sure to check out the ones you recommended. It's weird that your advent has so many green teas! And I'm surprised to not see any rooibos or herbals so far. I'm actually sipping a pear tea right now ha ha, it's Heirloom Bartlett Pear from Harney & Sons, highly recommend if you like pear.
They will make you cry if you cry at anything like me lol. I know right! I am hoping it's better tomorrow. Oh yes I'll most definitely take a look at that. Thank you!
Love your hair, giving Linda Ronstadt vibes! And the outfit too, so cute! 💖
Just looked her up! It sure is 😊. Much better than my medieval man bob bowl cut 😅 had going on earlier this year. And thank you!
DBZ is a classic ha ha! I thought Super was very good as well. If I had to choose a favorite character, it would be Piccolo. 😁
Right! I am happy i watched in my adulthood. I appreciate it more for sure. Broke my heart when the author died we just finished watching super
@@graymagnolias there's definitely some additional nostalgia for me because I watched it as a young teen ha ha.
You're adorable! Loved the vlig and looking forward to Vlogmas!
Thank you!
Ishiguro would be British Japanese. We read Remains of The Day in 20th Century British Lit and I remember enjoying it a lot. I have not had the chance to read any of this other books, though.
That's it ! 😂. I am excited to read both books they sound very interesting
The idea of having a second doc with a rough outline is very good. You might benefit from being more of a "plotter" versus just pantsing on the fly. What works for me is usually I will do that super rough outline. I don't worry about prose at all. I will write everything that comes to me. Finding where I think chapters will cut off. Flesh out the chapters but still rough. Then and only then after I have that done, I will start writing chapter by chapter using the outline as a base. Doing that rough outline/spew let's me get ideas out without having to worry about the harder stuff and getting stuck. It's also easier to work out plot holes if you're only reorganizing a rough sketch versus your entirely written chapter. This is just my way of doing it, though, obviously everyone has their own way they have to figure out. For tiny plot details my advice would be to not worry about it too much. If you have the story filled out enough in your mind and you know where you are trying to go with it, just keep writing to get yourself to that point. Then when you edit the whole thing you will find those inconsistencies. Also I feel like the more you write the better you will get at keeping things straight. At least that's how it has felt for me. Again, everyone being different. I guess another tactic would be to have a story "bible" where you describe everyone. Unfortunately I haven't written anything original for even longer than I haven't written in general because my last projects were all fanfics lol. So definitely take my ideas for a grain of salt. Also that hoodie really is cute.
Wow thanks for the advice! I for sure just need to keep writing and not focus too much on fixing something that can be worked on during the editing phase. I think what I'll do is hit down any major ideas or points as I go. Google docs has a highlight comment feature I'll use as well. Oh what fanfics have you written? Thanks I snagged it at Walmart at 75% I live in it lol.
@@graymagnolias Hnnnngh, I'm not really good with talking publicly about writing, honestly my commenting here has been wild. If you'd like I could message you on instagram instead. I technically have one though I have never used it in my life. I just feel oddly compelled.
@@theunboundnotebook my ig handle is in the description! I have a long TBR of fanfic I want to eventually read adding more to the list never hurts.
Sending you good luck vibes because I also have started to get back to writing after a few years. It's hard.
Thank you! You are so right it's not easy. For my other drafts I wish I kept notes instead of just writing like crazy 😅. I'll get back to them one day! And good luck to you!
So cute! Great job!
Thank you! 😊
Hey new subscriber here!! Just wanted to drop by and say that I absolutely love your videos. I have recently gotten into reading and I definitely will be looking into the books you have shared! ❤
