Daily Little Things: August 11th, 2026

 


Hey y'all let's see what's up today! First and foremost I want to apologize for the radio silence over here, we have been experiencing some crazy weather over here in Tennessee and it made my internet super unstable so I wasn't able to get anything edited or posted the way that I had originally wanted to. I'm not going to backtrack and post Sunday's Off the Record or anything like that, but I do have Friday's Horror Hub and a Reel Reviews that I want to get posted for you guys. With that being said, let's get into it!


🍅 Today's Goals 🍅 

👓 Find & Repair Glasses

✍️ Write For 30 Minutes

📚 Finish Maeve Fly

🎀 Today's Wins 🎀

🟣 Today was surprisingly a perfect day, I had a little fatigue which I expected but once I had lunch I perked up pretty well, I got things done at work, and I just let myself be kind of gentle with the day.

🚶‍♀️ 🍎 🍗 🧁Today I was under my calorie budget which is always great, I have been trying to avoid binge eating and I've accomplished that by doing meal prep in smaller containers than what I would normally use. I always try to stay pretty protein focused which helps me quite a bit because protein will keep you fuller longer. I've been getting these Dally konjac packets and I really really like them they're a great source of vitamins. Aside from that, I did let myself have a little sweet treat and a small bag of Cheetos with my sandwich at dinner.

📚 I won't lie, I lost count of how many chapters I read today, but I believe it to be at minimum 5 chapters, because the chapters in Maeve Fly were fairly short

🐛Today's Weather 🐛

⛈️ It is still storming which is not necessarily a new thing but it did create a little more disturbance with the internet than usual. 

🍙 Today's Recap 🍙

Despite the storms, I got a lot done today. Unfortunately I did not find my glasses to fix them, I don't really know where they might have gone but I'm going to hunt around a bit more for then because they are my favorite pair. Aside from that, all of my goals were completed today and I am super grateful! 

I'm also working on the finishing touches for a gift that I am sending to my best friend overseas and I can't wait to see her reaction to it, I hope she likes it. If all goes well maybe this can be a regular thing? I'm super excited to show you guys what I picked out as well because we simultaneously picked some things out from each other's country, things we wanted to try and such, and then on the return side of that we are also sending some surprises to one another so I am super excited for her to get everything. 

🌻 Closing 🌻 

My internet is about to go out so I'm going to leave this here but hopefully I will be back with the missing posts from the weekend and my Maeve Fly book review. 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...
