ipsy vs. birchbox January 2015
Birchbox and Ipsy are makeup subscriptions. They’re each $10 a month. You take a quiz on both sites to see how each service matches you up with their makeup/ skincare brands. Basically each month they send you about 5 different products. I’ve tried Birchbox for 13 months now, at first I was really excited about it, but lately, it’s been kind of disappointing. On the other hand, I’ve tried Ipsy for only 8 months and I’ve loved almost every bag.
This month, for Birchbox, I recieved:
- Balance Me – Wonder Eye Cream
- Number 4™ Hair Care – Non-Aerosol Hairspray
- Harvey Prince – Sincerely Perfume
- theBalm – Stainiac – lip and cheek stain
- Whish – 3 Whishes Body Butter – Lavendar
Out of the 5 things, all were samples which is fine, but I would like to be able to use a product for more than like a week, you know?
I don’t like the fact that my products come all messed up. Why isn’t birchbox more careful with how they package their products? This is how the tiny bottle of perfume came, in my box like this. How does that even happen inside two different boxes?!?
1. Balance Me – Wonder Eye Cream
So this cream is supposed to fight wrinkles and aging. The directions say to use a pea size amount on your under eye, which was ridiculously way too much. The cream does not mix very well into my skin. Also, I’m sick of getting anti-aging creams. I’m 23 years old, I don’t understand why they keep sending me this kind of stuff.
2. Number 4™ Hair Care – Non-Aerosol Hairspray
I think this is the second time they’ve sent me this hairspray. I love Number 4 products and I do like this Hairspray. It’s just the fact that they send me the same thing over and over. It’s such a bummer. Although I do like the little travel sized hairspray, I can take it anywhere.
3. Harvey Prince – Sincerely Perfume
It smells like I walked into a house filled with Indian and Indonesian food. It honestly smells delicious. I don’t know if it’s my thing, especially not for $55 a bottle. I like scents a little more subtle but it was nice to try, even though you only get about 10 sprays from it.
4. theBalm – Stainiac – lip and cheek stain
I usually try to see how things look on my hand before I put it anywhere else. Also, I have a ton of allergies, so I would rather get an allergic reaction on my hand than somewhere closer to my throat. So I tried this stain out, it was amazing. It took over 5 different times washing my hands in order to get it off, so imagine how long it lasted on my lips. I don’t know if I would use it on my cheeks. It’s a bit much. A bit too red.
5. Whish – 3 Whishes Body Butter – Lavender
I absolutely HATE the chemistry that Whish uses in their products. I don’t like how it feels on my skin. I hate the smell of lavender to top it off. I hate this product.
For Ipsy I got:
- Malin+Goetz – Mojito Lip Balm
- Hikari Cosmetics Mechanical Eyeliner – Storm
- Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eyeshadow – ethereal
- Velvet 59 – Velvet Rose Lipgloss
- Elizabeth Mott- All Over Shadow Brush
1. Malin+Goetz – Mojito Lip Balm
I love LOVE love this chapstick/ lipgloss thing. It’s glossy like a lipgloss but amazing and soothing like a chapstick. I love the smell of it, the texture. It’s amazing. I’m definitely buying this again.
2. Hikari Cosmetics Mechanical Eyeliner – Storm
I usually do not wear any other eye liner colors other than black, but this grey is amazing. It’s almost dark enough to pass for a black but it’s still subtle enough to be grey. I love the formula, and it definitely does not wear off right away, which I like. I hate reapplying make up. I love putting things on once and be done for the rest of the night.
3. Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eyeshadow – ethereal
So, all five things were full sized products, how awesome is that?!? I’m really excited about the eyeshadow, it feels amazing! I’m really into a naked look lately. I love the Urban Decay Naked Palette, so this color was a really nice addition to my usual colors.
4. Velvet 59 – Velvet Rose Lipgloss
I like this lipgloss, it’s pretty much my natural lip color. There’s nothing huge to talk about about this product.
5. Elizabeth Mott- All Over Shadow Brush
I’m obsessed. I love this brush. It feels delicious. Every brush I’ve gotten from ipsy is amazing. I love the bristles on this brush. I love the color. I LOVE PINK! It’s perfect.
Overall, I use the ipsy products a lot more than I use the Birchbox products. I love my Ipsy bag, rating 9/10. My Birchbox was okay, rating 6/10. Sadly enough, my favorite thing about birchbox was the actual box it came in this time around!

Rest in Peace Logan
It has been a tough 48 hours. Between getting the news, trying to process everything, letting the rest of our friends know, it’s just been tough. I’ve never had to deal with something like this before. I am so unsure of what to do all the time. I feel like I’m on a wave, in the ocean. First I felt like a tsunami, overwhelmed with emotion, angry and terribly sad. Then, I became calm, like after a storm. I just don’t know what to feel right now. I’ve never been through something like this. I’ve never been good with dealing with my emotions. I’m just trying to stay strong for the rest of us.
I have a very weird group of friends, somehow we all ended up knowing each other, but today I want to talk about one particular group of friends. This is the group of friends I became close to throughout my Senior year in high school, and through out years after. These are the Geeks, but they were my geeks.
It all started when I was lost at my new school { Arcadia H.S. } and I went up to this kid who was wearing a shirt that said “Ask me for help” or something like that. That kid later introduced me to some of his friends. One of those friends in particular, was in my Econ class. We bonded right away. We had the same first letter of our last name, so we were put in assigned seats next to each other. I’ve never been so thankful for that moment, because Logan gave me hope. He would invite me over to play Guitar Hero, and when he asked if I wanted to watch a marathon of Star Wars with his friends, I felt like I became one of the guys. I left those boys dumbfounded that a girl like me would be such a fan of something like Star Wars.
Logan handed me so many friends, like on a silver platter. I would not be here if it wasn’t for him. For his friendship, his kindness, his ability to make everyone laugh. “Do a barrel roll!!!” “Pouuuuuuund Cake!” Thanks to Logan, I was able to beat a dark part of me. When I wasn’t doing well, he always dropped everything to come help me. When I went through one of the most traumatic instances of my life, he was the one that picked me up and took me away from the bad.
I had so much fun with him. Whether it be car tag that ended with me throwing up from laughing so hard, or serious talks by the ocean; scolding from doing “bad things” to crying from being overwhelmed, Logan was the best. He is the glue that holds all of us together.
I am distraught beyond words. I’m going to miss you so much Logan. I’ve been missing you so much.
Thank you for everything you did for me, for everything you did for everyone. Thank you so much for saving me, I only wish I could have done the same for you. I love you Logan. I’ll see you on the flip side. Take care of all of us please. I can honestly say, I will never forget you. Rest in peace my friend, I love you.
Why I always relate to Taylor Swift’s Music
Okay. This is my second time starting this post because I didn’t save a draft and accidentally clicked the back button.
First of all, I am listening to ever single song while I write this post. I won’t post about every single song though. At first this post was going to be about why I loved Taylor’s music, and her as an artist; it turned into why I love her music, and why I relate to it.
I love Taylor’s music. I always have. I remember going to a Target or Walmart or something in Omaha, Nebraska in 2007 after a Brad Paisley concert to go buy her self titled album. I feel in love. I played that CD so much, it broke. Just joking. It cracked because I dropped it. But still!
This CD got me through a year living in Omaha, Nebraska, away from my family. I was a junior in high school. Trying to figure out boys, starting to think about college, I had no idea what was going on with my life. It feels like Taylor was just trying things out too. Just like I was. Tim McGraw, what a bold move to name a song after a super famous singer. This song made me wish so badly that I would find someone that I could share everything with, songs, love, memories. Picture to Burn, hahaha, made me think of the first boy that broke my heart & to this day, every single terrible guy I dated. I wish so badly I could do everything she did in that music video. Tear Drops on my Guitar, reminds me of my current boyfriend, now that I re-listen to the song, I remember wishing I could go out with David even though he was my best friend. Place in this World: “Oh I’m just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.” Cold as You, made me feel like she completely understood about the first guy I ever really fell hard for. It hurt. My first heartbreak hurt so badly and she got it. She wrote a song saying exactly what I felt. Tied Together With A Smile seriously makes me cry to this day. I had a lot of issues with my body and my self love. I felt like Taylor embodied everything I felt, in this song. There were times when I really felt like letting go, but this song got me through so much. It was a small part of why I started loving myself again. Should’ve Said No – OHMYGOD. I got cheated on twice before I turned 17. This was my freaking anthem. I used to SCREAM this song. “But do you honestly expect me to believe we could ever be the same? Was she worth it? Was she worth this?” Honestly, thanks dude(s) for this, cuz now I have someone way better. Mary’s song, reminds me of the first guy I ever fell for. I thought he and I would end up together, because our parents were friends. Oh how things change. Now it’s just something cute that I want at some point in my life. Our song, reminds me of David. Everything about it just screams our relationship. I love having songs that remind me of him.
Fearless.
I was dating my first real boyfriend. Every song reminded me of him. I was so in love. This album is so optimistic and so much fun. I was starting college, loving life basically, for the most part. I moved to Los Angeles, one of the most busiest cities in the world. Taylor was growing as a person, and so was I. Welcome to Adulthood, was this song [fearless]. Love Story was my anthem, my ringtone, my favorite song. “You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess.” I seriously believed it. I thought “you were everything to me, I was begging you please don’t go.” I believed everything was awesome and wonderful and my {now ex} would propose and we would get married young and have a wonderful life. I was never the super nerdy girl that didn’t get the guy, but I totally identified with You Belong With Me, just because I have felt like that one girl that is best friends with a guy and he just doesn’t get it, he doesn’t get I like him. So annoying. Breath – “people are people and sometimes we change our minds” this song made me cry every single time after he and I broke up. “And I can’t breath without you, but I have to.” Tell Me Why doesn’t remind me of a guy. It reminds me of stupid people that purposely try to hurt you, just in general. You’re Not Sorry still reminds me of { Love Story } guy, to this day. I can’t get through this song without getting upset. The Way I Loved You was about my first real boyfriend because I loved so hard, and then compared every guy after to the first one, I really thought it would be “Forever and Always” with that guy. The song with that name just makes me feel so powerful. Because it’s like yeah! you said that you would always be there but you’re not. Change. Change was about to happen to me. I would go from this young adult that was super in love and oblivious to life, to someone who understood the world better. I love that it’s the last song in this album. It’s like Taylor is telling us that she’s about to change. It just worked out that we changed around the same time.
Speak Now
When this CD came out, I was transitioning as a person. From being a dumb teenager, to being an actual adult (which is when Red came out), it took a while. It’s also the time I just dated around, didn’t really have a boyfriend; all I could think about were the possibilities or what could have happened and what may happen. Mine was supposed to be what was supposed to happen between {love story} boyfriend and I, it didn’t happen. Sparks Fly made me think of this guy I once dated, he made everything so much fun but “my mind forgot to remind me, you’re a bad idea.” Back to December– “Small talk […] your guard is up and I know why.” It took me so long to stop going back to the time {love story} and I broke up, but it finally happened. This song describes perfectly how intense it was just thinking about him all the time. All the time. Speak Now, was something I really wanted to do when {Love Story} started dating someone new, “I lose myself in a daydream.” Did anyone else get really mad when John Mayer wrote the song back to her in response to her Dear John song? This song just made me think about how terrible she must of felt while writing this. Mean is one of my favorite songs. My best friend asked Go Country 105 to play this and said “the person who is being mean to my best friend, stop, or I’ll make you mad.” This song just makes me think about all the people who are just terrible, who just made me a better person. The Story of Us is about {sparks fly} guy, because my stupid friend kept inviting him to everywhere I was even after we stopped dating. It was so awkward, all the time. “This is looking like a contest about who can act like they care less.” Enchanted, “There I was again tonight, forcing laughter faking smiles, same old tired lonely place.” I met a lot of enchanting people during this time, and some helped me grow. There were so many nights that were sparkling, and it got me through this time of heart break. Better than Revenge, made me feel like Taylor understood exactly what I felt like when {Love Story} started dating someone new. It’s like she was there witnessing everything and wrote a song about it. Haunted is such an emotional song. Once again, {Love Story} guy. Listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHvys3BJmko&index=35&list=PLqR9m3F9U118PlaYHRIT-LSyUTbgV3bjM to it once and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Last Kiss is that one song that helps you finally get over the hump. The heartbreak. The sadness. “I’m not much for dancing, but for you I did.” Long Live is that song, the shout out to my friends who helped out through tough times, with feeling bad about myself, with the break up, with everything. This song makes me want to live! It makes me happy.
Red.
Red was such a transition into a different life. I feel not only did Taylor change, but I did too. She started changing up her music, seeing how her fans felt. The thing about music is that it doesn’t stay the same, so its amazing to see an artist change. Red– “forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met.” yeah, it was hard. But I did it. (: And, I met the love of my life, I just didn’t know it yet. Treacherous– “put your lips close to mine, as long as they don’t touch” I fell in love with my best friend. Did I forget to mention, in between Speak Now and Red, I turned TWENTY TWO!!! This song is so care free and loving, it makes me feel exactly how I did when I was 22, I turned 22 when this song came out, and I know for a fact that I was feeling 22. I know I did everything I could to make my life better and happy. “It seems like one of those nights we ditched the whole scene, and end up dreaming, instead of sleeping.” Every time I did something, I did it like it was the last time I was going to live. I had so much fun this year, and accomplished so many goals. “We’re happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way.” This song made me realize how much I love my friends. How much they mean to me. We Are Never Getting Back Together – was the best song to belt out loudly and out of tune, because I knew that {Love Story} and I were really never getting back together, and I was totally okay with it! Stay Stay Stay, the whole song literally my relationship with David. He always knows what to say, he always listens and wants to resolve everything. “Before you I only dated self indulgent takers, who took out all of their problems out on me.” Holy Ground makes me smile. Just everything about it. “tonight I’m gonna dance for all that we’ve been through, but I don’t wanna dance if I’m not dancing with you.” Everything has Changed. – “All I know is you held the door, and you’ll be mine and I’ll be yours; All I know is that since yesterday, everything has changed” I knew I fell in love with my best friend, and it was for real. Begin Again.– “you throw your head back laughing like a little kid, I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny cuz he never did.” This was the year I didn’t care about the past anymore. I made up with people, took people out of my life for good. Learned to love myself no matter what. Learned to love someone else, unconditionally.
1989.
The latest of Taylor’s albums inspired me to write this post. I just couldn’t stop asking myself “what is it about Taylor that keeps me coming back?” I realized as soon as I heard Shake it Off – Shes really changed as an artist, but she doesn’t belong in a genre. Taylor is her own kind of genre. Blank Space – is the most perfect song ever. Before I watched the music video all I could think about is all that we both {tay & I } have gone through relationship wise. Yeah, “got a long list of ex lovers, they’ll tell you I’m insane,” but really, I’m a really awesome girlfriend, if I love you no one will hurt you cuz I’ll hurt them. Style – just feels like one of my day dreams, and I love that she says “we never go out of style,” cuz that’s how I feel about the boyfriend. Out of the Woods is probably my favorite song in the album.
💗 Looking at it now, it all seems so simple […] you took a Polaroid of us, then discovered the rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming color. And I remember thinking… Are we out of the woods yet? […] Are we in the clear yet? Good. Looking at it now last December we were built to fall apart, then fall back together. Your necklace hanging from my neck. Baby, like we stood a chance two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying. And I remember thinkin’ Are we out of the woods yet? Are we in the clear yet? Good. But when the sun came up, I was lookin’ at you remember when we couldn’t take the heat I walked out and said, “I’m settin’ you free,” but the monsters turned out to be just trees and when the sun came up, you were lookin’ at me. You were lookin’ at me. I remember, oh, I remember. Are we out of the woods yet? Are we in the clear yet? Good.
All You Had To Do Was Stay– “you had me in the palm of your hand […] all you had to do was stay.” Just everything about this song is awesome, but it doesn’t apply to me anymore. Bad Blood– I don’t have any idea who she wrote this about, but to me it just says like “hey, we used to be really tight and now it’s like what happened? Why aren’t we anymore? Why’d you have to go and hurt me?” which is exactly how I feel about some people who aren’t in my life anymore. Wildest Dreams. Literally feels like an old dream. How You Get The Girl – “I want you for worse or for better, I would wait for ever and ever, [ … ] and that’s how it works that’s how you get the girl.” That’ s how I wanna get proposed to. With those exact words. I Know Places – “Baby, I know places we won’t be found, […] just grab my hand and don’t ever drop it.” I just wanna move out with David! I want to grow up and be together and be super happy and in love. Clean is the perfect end to a perfect album. It’s like purging yourself of things that you don’t need anymore.
All in all, I just feel like Taylor swift was a teenage girl transitioning into being a young woman. She literally wrote about everything I was feeling, even things I am still too afraid to admit to this day. Her writing is so filled with emotion, she sings to you like she knows what you have gone through, like she was you going through these things. It’s just amazing. Thank you Taylor, for being brave enough to say these things out loud, even when we couldn’t say it ourselves. Thank you for being such a raw artist, for not giving one care in the world what other people thought. Thank you for everything.
Taylor Swift on 1989, Spotify, Her Next Tour and Female Role Models
I LOVE HER!!!
6 Things That Can Make All the Difference in Your Next Job Interview
Faith in Humanity Restored
Just quickly wanted to tell you guys about what just happened to me. I went to my local mall with the boyfriend; parked the car, locked the car and then realized I had a gift card in my wallet, so went back for my wallet. So I’m walking through Forever 21, which is my favorite store and of course I stop to see these cute shorts. I was on a mission to not spend over 30 minutes in the mall, so I ended up thinking “oh I don’t need these, keep walking.” So I’m heading to Bath & Body Works, I try on one lotion because, as I said before, I was on a mission to be in and out ASAP. I get to the register and I realize that I don’t have my wallet. I go into panic mode. I asked the bf if he has it. He says no. I’m like OMG, omg, OMGGGGGGG. All I can think is that I have a credit card in it, all my school IDs, and my Starbucks Gold Card (which turns out you can’t have replaced). I start freaking out, everyone that was working the floor starts looking for my wallet. The boyfriend runs to Forever and calls me “they have your wallet, but they won’t give it to me. You have to come get it.” So … I ended up running back, thankfully, my iPhone case has a wallet pocket where I keep my drivers license. Panicked I ask one of the cashiers for my wallet, who tells the manager. The manager asks me to describe the wallet and asks if I have an ID to prove its mine. I pull out my ID from my phone and then my university ID from the wallet. She checks them and says “ok here you go.” Of course I start saying thank you about a million times. I check inside the wallet, all my cards are there. All my cash is there. I asked the manager who turned it in, she says it was a customer. I literally teared up.
I’m so happy people like this still exist. I mean, in the course of the last year, I’ve turned in two cell phones, a wallet, some keys and asked countless people if they dropped their $. Those were the longest 10 minutes of my life, and I’m so glad that people who are nice, and not to mention, honest still exist.
THANK YOU TO WHOEVER TURNED IN MY WALLET. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
TV Shows
Ok, so this summer, I made it my goal to catch up on all the shows I haven’t been able to watch during the school year. I just realized how many shows I’ve watched. Also, I started a couple new ones; I’m thinking of starting some more…
*Some SPOILER ALERTS*
So I finished watching Drop Dead Diva, it was only until I had finished watching the last episode available that I realized it was the Series Finale. THAT’S how terrible it was. I felt robbed of all the years I diligently watched with my mom.
I caught up on Devious Maids, it’s really getting good; will there always be a murder needing to be solved though?
Pretty Little Liars… I’m really confused. It’s getting way too intense. Caleb leaves, then comes back, then Hanna acting drunk all the time. Ali with all the lies and stuff. Ezra & Aria… no comment. I don’t even get what’s going on with Em. It’s just like WHY?! WHAT’S GOING ON WITH LIFE?!? AHH!!!
Vampire Diaries. I just can’t. Like no. Ah. Damon. Ah. !!! I just can’t talk about it.
The Originals. I’ve loved this first season. For being a spin off show, it’s really awesome. It’s so much more dramatic than Vampire Diaries & a lot more gory. It is kind of confusing with all the witches and coming and going. The season finale made me cry a little.
Glee. I’ve been watching this show since the very beginning. Honestly, ever since Cory died (RIP), the show hasn’t been the same. It just needs to end. I hate most of the new glee kids. I love the old cast. I’m kind of just over it.
Modern Family. I started this show last week and went through all 5 seasons. I love this show its so awesome and funny. I love the whole concept of the show. The different types of families that make up one big family. I love it. I’m excited for more.
Gilmore Girls. I’ve seen so many actors already. Jamie Lynch. Chad Michael Murray. and I’m barely re-watching the first season. I’m really excited to re-watch this. This is probably my favorite show of all times. Seriously. Like tied with Greek. I LOVE IT.
Big Bang Theory. I’ve seen most of the episodes from this show. It’s so funny. I love it. I’m planning on starting from the very beginning and watching the WHOLE thing. I’m excited.
Dr. Who. I TRIED to start this, but the season I started with (the ninth doctor) Christopher Eccleston, really sucked. I might try with the next doctor. Keep you posted.
Game of Thrones. I’ve been trying to avoid watching this. There’s a lot of hype about it and I don’t know if I should. Also, tried watching the first episode and it was really awkward to watch with someone else in the room. Opinions? To watch or not to watch?
I still have to catch up on Switched at Birth, but I don’t know if I’m all in to it anymore. Has it gotten better? Or no?
Also, Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t even remember what happened. I don’t know what I ended on.
Once Upon A Time. I just need to catch up because I know that Elsa from Frozen is supposed to come on soon or is already on. I just really need to catch up lol.
Once Upon A Time in Wonderland. Is this even good? I wanna see how good it is. I just wonder. Get it? Cuz Wonderland? hahaha. Sorry.
Selfie. I just wanna know if it’s gonna be good or not.
Arrow. IS THIS A GOOD SHOW OR NOT?! I need to know what this is about.
The Carrie Diaries. I don’t know if I wanna keep watching this or not… It’s not as fun as Sex & The City.
Gotham. Benjamin McKenzie. Batman’s City. What more can we want? I’m excited to see this.
I can’t remember if I ever caught up on Desperate Housewives or not.
Reign.THE ONLY SHOW I CAN’T NOT WATCH. I NEED IT IN MY LIFE. I don’t know what it is about it. The guys? OMG. The girls? WOW. The accents? YES. The story line ( I know it’s not historically accurate but still, for a girl who read all the Royal Diaries, this is a dream come true.) Honestly, this is my favorite show since I watched Greek. I can’t wait. Like every week I cannot sit still and wait for it to come out. COME BACK TO ME! I NEED YOU!!!
I think that’s all… How did I even find time to do all this?
Guilty Pleasures
So, I’ve been trying to catch up on Glee and there was an episode (Season Four, Episode 17) where they talk all about their guilty pleasures. I started thinking about my guilty pleasures and realized that Glee IS a guilty pleasure. OMG. I just realized that Idina Menzel plays Rachel’s mom. IM SO EXCITED!
I keep trying to think about what I like that people would think is weird but it’s so hard, because honestly? How exactly do you know that something is weird to others? Is it what society deems is okay? Or what? It’s just confusing…
I mean, I’m 23 now but up until I was 19 I still slept with my stuffed bear; even now, it lies on my floor just close enough for me to grab him if I have a nightmare.
Bath and Body Works is another one of my guilty pleasures. I like being able to go into the store and try on different things then wash my hands and do it all over again! My favorite things to buy are body sprays and hand sanitizers, because well, I hate germs and smelling yucky!
Disneyland is my go-to relaxation place. When people think Disneyland, they think Disney characters and ridiculous amounts of people. Since I have an annual pass, I don’t mind going just to walk around and ride a couple of rides. I love love love Disneyland. It really is the happiest place on earth. As soon as I board the tram, my issues fall away.
Starbucks is my biggest guilty pleasure. I love the taste of the coffee, I love how you can customize it to make it your own drink. I really enjoy most of the drinks there, but I’m now trying to get back into just plain old coffee. Before, I would ask for Caramel Macchiatos or something, now I just drink Iced coffee and teas. No one understands my love for Starbucks!!!
Ok, I lied. Instagram is my guiltiest of pleasures. I LOVE putting up photos on instagram. I love editing and taking photos.
What’re your guilty pleasures?
Making Time
Just venting…
I don’t know about you, but I feel like I never have enough time to do anything. I mean, all I’ve done this week is go to work & my bff Domini’s birthday celebration with her family. I just feel like there’s never enough time to do anything exciting. I mean, I’ve been really excited to keep going on my Summer 2014 Bucket List, but it’s just so difficult to get everyone’s schedules all together. I guess I just don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling lately. I see my boyfriend everyday, for the most part, which is fine. The problem is finding enough time for him to be with his family and me to be with my family, but also, he enjoys being with my family too. It’s just hard to coordinate our time around our family.
Now add in, one of my best friends has a kid, three work basically full-time and one rarely wants to hang out, so when he does I change my plans to accommodate him. These are just my close friends! How am I supposed to make time for every single one of my friend??? It’s just impossible.
I think I’m just frustrated because it’s summer. I wish I could just go anywhere I wanted without having responsibilities; I guess things change when you’re 23. It’s just sad. And I feel SO tired ALL the time.
Is there a special app for all of this? Like can someone please come up with an app that organizes all my time through out the day. Wake up at this time, use this much time to do your hair, this much for make up, this much for eating, this much for driving (and calculate driving time with traffic conditions), this much for work, this much for each friend, this much for each family member, this much to shower, this much time for sleep.
I need some advice. How can I manage my family and friends without going crazy, and without everyone feeling like I don’t care?
