HELLO!!!!

welcome to our first official monthly blog post from yours truly ʚ♡ɞ

first, i want to say thank you so much for being here, supporting me, and giving me the safest of places to share content but for also making this environment SO fun!!! i have absolutely loved chatting with y’all in the group chats (i didn’t even know patreon had this feature but im so glad it does).

the monthly blogs will include a list of my monthly favorites and then a paragraph (or few) of my thoughts : )

without further ado *drum roll please*

september favorites

book: aristotle and dante discover the universe

i cannot WAIT to write a blog post about this book. absolutely adored this short little coming of age story. so SO sweet! haven’t given a book a 5/5 in a bit

skincare product: aestura atobarrier 365 cream

so obsessed with this moisturizer that i bought another one while i was in korea. formula is great and its overall not too oily for me + sits well under makeup + VERY hydrating

body care: kosas chemistry AHA serum deodorant

YALLLLLLLLL LEMME PUT YOU ONTO THIS like i have been SEARCHING far and wide for YEARS to find a natural deodorant that works and THIS BABY IS THE ONE. i was even raving to syd about how i was sweating so much but i didn’t stink and she smelled my armpit to confirm LOOLLL i am ecstatic about this product like this is the holy grail of the month for sure! shake well before using <3

makeup product: prada monochrome soft matte lipstick in color B108

i hate to say it but i was influenced by an instagram makeup guru and FKKK i do like it LOL specifically, i just love the color (even tho its not right for my color analysis but whatevvaaaaa)

snack: justin’s mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups

these were too addicting for my own good tbh

song: OK I REALLY CANT PICK JUST ONE SO HERES 2

Cerce De Ti by Hermanos Gutiérrez - i have listened to this song so much this month. there is something so … heartfelt about it? i FEEELLL it when i listen to it

Bed Chem by Sabrina Carpenter - need i say more?

september thoughts

i have never felt time move as fast as it did this month; i blinked and its already over

i remember feeling a lot of anxiety and stress in the beginning of this month but also a lot of excitement. things were quickly changing and my anxiety kept spiking when i would think about my cats being rehoused for sometime, knowing that i had a korea trip to plan, going ALONE on that trip LOL, moving in to our new place, and trying to keep up with stream / content. but, in the midst of all that, was also excitement because i was one step closer to learning about my skin and in turn, being more comfortable on camera.

as y’all BEEN knowin, i really really struggle being on camera all the time grrrrrrr >:( my skin unfortunately just perpetuates the problem. i think september was truly just the month of anxiety for me LOL but also, i am so so SO glad i went to korea. i learned so much and also had fun in the process! i am honestly really proud of myself for prioritizing that trip / my skin even though i feel bummed for missing twitchcon. i think past jodi would have continued to sacrifice her feelings, go to twitchcon, and thus push the korea trip to early december ish. but, alas, i feel SO much better + being on camera is that much easier when my skin is manageable.

i start up personal training again in october and i ain’t gon lie, im not lookin forward to it LOL i am dragggggiiing my feet but my discipline always prevails 8) he was out of town this month (which is why korea trip was ideal for this month) and gaining my time back was nice …….. oop hahah

i just hate working out like i dont want to lift weights -__- im so unstimulated. but i think this will be my final 3 months with him and then i would love to just walk and find a nearby pilates class for beginners. the gym life just ain’t for me

*skkkrrrrttt* *drifts to new topic*

john moved out into his own bachelor pad and i love love love this for him. i think john is still figuring out how to better his mental health and manage his ADHD and it looks like this new apartment has been the perfect foundation to do just that, which makes me beyond happy :’) i realize how unconventional me and john’s relationship can sometimes be but idk it works for us and i think that’s all that matters!! also, its not like its forever. things always change yanno? im sure one day we’ll move back in together .. again.. LOL and who knows, maybe next time it’ll be just us 2? i always knew our relationship was technically different from the usual but it didn’t really hit me til i visited washington and my mom asked me, “so are you and john in an open relationship? nothing wrong with that if you guys are btw.” HAHAHAH i was like ???HHUHHH??? no?! LOL

anyways, cheers to parents and accepting us no matter what (hopefully)

i hope you all had an amazing september and if you didn’t, remember that all things are temporary and YOU always have YOU <3

i love you guys, thank you for everything. truly.

ps. i will never be proof reading these so if there’s typos, think of them as cute little personality flares

pps. nothing, i just really wanted to type pps. it just felt right
