Daily Little Things: January 6th 2026

 

Hey y'all let's see what's up today! I am feeling a lot better today, so I went in to work. I'm not entirely sure that was the best idea, because as I'm writing this intro at work I do feel kinda rough. I'm going to give myself until lunch time to see if I feel any better and if I don't I'm going to leave early I think. You would think that someone who cleans as religiously as I do wouldn't get sick very often but sometimes I feel like I have the immune system of a walnut honestly. All jokes aside, we have a lot to cover today so let's get into it!


✒️Today's Quote ✒️

"You deserve something you don't have to question; you deserve someone who is sure about you."

🎀 Today's Reflection 🎀

Today was a busy one. I realized that I had forgotten to share my Whiskful Thinking post. I was super stressed out from work, and when I came home I just wanted to lay down (and I did). I tried to start the 100 Heads Challenge, which I was super excited about, however I wasn't satisfied with the work I was doing and it only got worse as I tried to continue. Because of this, I decided to look at some drawing videos online instead. I've not been able to consistently draw in almost 3 months and its really caused a decline in my skill I think? So I'm going to forget everything I know, start from scratch, and maybe I'll even improve! 

As excited as I was I wasn't actually upset about not finishing the challenge because it became abundantly clear that I needed to sit down and reassess. The 100 Heads Challenge involves a lot of portrait work which I was not very familiar with to begin with, I'm a cartoonist by preference. So having this assessment of how I tackled this challenge compared to work that I've done recently in my style was refreshing. I'm going to start doing practices and things like that this week instead of the 100 Heads Challenge because I think that's going to be better for me.

I also didn't get the chance to read today, I was just kind of half asleep and tired when I got home so I immediately took a nap. I also ended up falling asleep before I had saved the scheduled post for this so I apologize!

In regards to today's quote: I can't stress enough how many of the quotes in this book can apply to your professional life as well. In a world of "Everyone is replaceable" you need to find somewhere you're irreplaceable. You need to find people who are going to value you for what you bring to the table and support you in what you plan to do going forward. 

I apologize for not not uploading this until later! That's all I have for you guys for now. 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...
