recently, i've been keeping up with a few news stories, trends, and new youtubers. the latter is definitely out of the ordinary for me because i usually stick to the same few content creators and rarely expand my horizons on youtube, mostly because i feel too lazy to invest my attention into new channels and stick around to learn their lore.
i'm a true crime junkie to my core - i took a forensics class as an elective in my junior year of high school (which was like, 10 years ago omg) and have loved the subject since then, and it's also gotten me interested in unusual news stories in general. the lindsey clancy case and mckenna wells situation both have me captivated right now! if you don't know what they are, i highly recommend researching and reading up on their current statuses right now. with the jury deliberating on the clancy case as i speak, i want to share my own two cents. do i think she did it? i'm not convinced she did it, but i'm also not positive the husband did it either... but there are so many inconsistencies with his testimony and the investigation overall that are hard to overlook. it's obvious she was searching and begging for help, and as a mom going through the post-partum phase a second time, her story is all too familiar. i literally saw my PCP today to switch from lexapro to zoloft + propranolol to deal with my anxiety. then there's mckenna wells and the custody situation with the biological parents. in my humble opinion, a contract is a contract and at the end of the day, a surrogate is quite literally a human incubator for another couple (it sounds harsh, but that is the goal of surrogacy by definition and practice). i don't think she had any right to choose to not abort the child, considering it was not her child and she doesn't even plan to keep the child, apparently she has plans to have her brother adopt the baby! absolute insanity to me that it's even a discussion.
i also like to follow some trends and try some out every once in awhile. one of the trends i've bought into and - unfortunately for me - have discovered is worth the hype are the elf cheek and bronzer stains. i have the latte one and the burgundy one and they are just as great as tiktok makes them seem. i love the natural, worn-in make-up look they give!! i've also been trying out a filofax-style planner since january and i've honestly loved utilizing it after creating my own journal pages in canva to put in it. i'll have to share those pages once i figure out how to share files on here. i usually always struggle with keeping up with planners and fighting the urge to be "aesthetic" all of the time, especially when the planner has a layout for every aspect of your life. so, i made my own. it only has a month layout and a weekly layout so i don't feel overwhelmed with using it. plus having a physical planner feels better than a digital one because it seems like events get deleted from them somehow. i've also started making my layout for next year!!
on youtube i've recently discovered the channel "under a tin roof" and i have to admit she is addictive to watch. i love asmr, farmlife, and food, so her videos are great passive watches. both of her video styles, farm house vs townhouse living, are aesthetically pleasing to watch and are nice to escape to.
the last thing i want to quickly share is DOLLY PARTON!! what a loss to us all. the finest humanitarian there ever was, such a wonderful woman, and a beautiful soul.
it's always nice updating the blog and having fun sharing a little splurt of myself, and just gabbing about what i've been into lately is an easy way to do that.
until next time, ciao!!
