Daily Little Things: January 1st 2026

    Hey y'all, let's see what's up today! If you're new here, as I assume many of you will be because I am also new on this blog, welcome in. The posts in the Daily Little Things tab are just going to be posts that I make each day where I plan and discuss my day with you guys. Most of my time is spent at work from 10 am to 6 pm, but that doesn't mean that we can't still set some goals for today.

I am also reading a novel at the moment titled The Year of Letting Go bt R.H. Sin. It is a novel with a quote per day set up designed for personal growth and emotional development. Given that my goal for this year, and the purpose of this Daily Little Things post is to improve my life one day at a time I was excited to pick this up and get reading so we'll be adding the day's quote to each post as well.


✒️Today's Quote✒️

"You never realized how powerful you were until you had to learn to survive a relationship that felt more like hell. And no matter how hard it got, you continued to find ways to save yourself."

🎀 Today's Reflection 🎀

Today was a really productive day for me! I mainly cleaned and rearranged my room a little bit however I also took a massive box to the donation bins today. I decided to welcome in the new year slowly. I didn't rush getting out of bed, I took breaks as I needed to take breaks, and I spent the day just doing things that needed to be done at my pace. I spent the first hour of the day just letting myself wake up naturally, and then I took a half hour to do a little bit of drawing practice as I gear up for the 100 Heads Challenge. It's been a little difficult doing any sort of writing with a pencil or pen because I've damaged a few tendons in my dominant hand and they still aren't fully healed but I'm trying to do at least a few quick doodles a day to keep practicing. I also took some time today to put some things in storage that I had been neglecting, as I'm preparing to do some renovations on my end of the house and I needed some space for that. 

I didn't sit down to read until later in the evening, as that's generally around the time that I would be reading when I'm done with work. However, after cleaning today I was just kind of tired and the chapters in this book are pretty long. I decided to take notes as I read, which also kind of lengthened the process for me but that was perfectly fine as I'm not in a rush.

I don't really have any reflections on today's quote that I am comfortable sharing on the internet just yet, as I have had some issues with my ex trying to stalk me and figure out where I am, which was a large part of why I've changed my name as well.


Closing

I hope everyone had a wonderful start to the new year, I'm planning on ending the night with some horror movies and a cup of coffee. If you want to see more from me feel free to click the link below where you can find my other socials. Y'all take care, and thanks for stopping by!

Hey Girl, Listen: Financial Literacy Tips

Image
Hey y'all, let's see what's up today! As the blog title suggests in this post we're going be talking about financial literacy and how to stop being broke because let's face it having no savings and living paycheck to paycheck at our age isn't cute. Now, I am in no way shape or form a financial advisor but I have worked in accounting since I was 22, it's what I do currently for work, and I have a lot of experience on balancing even the tightest of budgets, which I think might come in handy given the rising cost of... well everything right now. In this post I’m going to break down the financial lingo, share some useful tips that I personally follow, and then direct you to some creators who post purely finance based content if you would like to learn more about other tricks. Please keep in mind this is only in regards to personal finances, however I also own my own business and can assist with sharing those tips as well if anyone would like them. Bu...

Bookmarked: Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims

Hey y'all let's see what's up today! In this post I will be reviewing Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims. Before we dive in, I would like to direct you to Mr. Sims other works which you can find on the Rusty Quill Spotify account or wherever you get your podcasts. He has such a fresh and unique take on horror that I personally find really interesting as someone who loves media with lots of layers. However, despite my love for the Magnus Archives and the Magnus Protocol I also discovered that he was in a band called the Mechanisms. If you like music that tells a story, Steampunk, and Space Pirates you will absolutely adore their music. They have been my personal soundtrack for late night writing sessions since I found the band!  That being said I was absolutely on the hunt for this novel because I have thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Sims other work and when I found it I had to really force myself to wait as I was reading another book at the time. 👻 🦷🔧🔪🔑🎻 Thirteen St...

Chatterbox: Are Trends Killing Originality? (02/27/2026 - 03/05/2026)

Hey y'all let's see what's up today! Today I wanted to discuss trends and self expression. Trends are no stranger here on this blog, we've discussed them a lot in the past and will definitely continue to discuss them as they progress and change. However, do trends take away self expression? That's going to be what we're going to find out.  My Personal Opinion  Personally, I think it largely depends on the person. Some people latch onto trends and will maintain those aesthetics regardless of whether or not they maintain popularity. Others, such as influencers, jump on the fast changing trends and often switch everything up in order to stay relevant or keep their brand deals. I don't really follow trends unless I actually take an interest in them. I think that's the best way to keep wasteful spending, and waste in general to a minimum. However, coming from a content creation standpoint not hopping on trends cam really hurt your enga...
