Summer 2018 Bucket List


As I am writing this is it currently 90 degrees (Fahrenheit) outside and it's May 12, 2018.
When I was driving to work today I had the biggest urge to just take a right and go tubing down the Chattahoochee River. With every window down in my Dodge Avenger, Kalyn Nicholson's Spotify playlist "spirit animal" blaring at a volume of 25, with my hand hanging out the window floating on the wind that passed me, I realized that I want to be "Living my Best Life" especially this Summer. 
I mean is it officially Summer time yet? Probably not, I'm not sure... but it feels like it already is. And with that, I've already started making a bucket list of things I want to do this summer & I thought I would share, plus tbh Kalyn's latest blog post is about her bucket list & she just INSPIRES THE ABSOLUTE CRAP OUT OF ME! 

2018 Summer Bucket List: 

  1. Go trout fishing with my Dad, because even though he's 60 he's never fished on a river... what a weirdo (also catch and release as always!)
  2. Buy some pretty flowers & herbs to put on my front porch- & try not to kill them. 
  3. Sunbathe while listening to soothing music or even mediating (super simple & totally do-able but still making the time to do it can face some challenges.)
  4. Start my novel, where ever it goes
  5. Read 5-10 books! (Video coming this week-the week I actually publish this blog post-on the books I plan to read!)
  6. Take hiking trips with Andy & Chris, or just little adventures with them every other Sunday! 
  7. This one seems silly but hey, whatever! Redecorate my bedroom & bathroom. 
  8. Go to the beach!  
  9. Explore Atlanta, good food, good music, total boho vibes. 
  10. Take a yoga class-I've never actually done this... surprisingly!  
  11. Go to a lavender field
  12. Start drawing again, I haven't drawn since Christmas time & I miss it so much!
There we have it! Totally do-able summer 2018 if I do say so myself ("if I do say so myself, hold up" -Jay Z) 

What are your summer goals? I'd love to know, you might even end up inspiring me to try some of them! 

Till next time,
-Em

How I Film & Edit my YouTube Videos- How To YouTube 101

We're on to the 3rd video in my 4 part video series on How To YouTube 101! & with a 3rd video comes a 3rd blog post. I really don't know how I'm going to explain what I use in a blog post, but I'm going to try! In case this makes no sense then just click here to watch the video  https://youtu.be/zbg6eoa9GTo Okay so first things first, EQUIPMENT I USE: Canon EOS Rebel t5 (DSLR) Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark ii  ("vlogging camera") Soft Box Lighting (3 for 1 price) 55" Camera Tripod HOW I FILM: I will usually film with my DSLR & since it doesn't have a flip screen view finder I will plug it up to my laptop using the USB cord that came with the camera, as well as the EOS Utility software that I've downloaded onto my laptop. So I have "remote" access to my camera from my laptop screen which is cool if you ask me! But recently it's been easier to just pull out my Canon G7 X Mark ii and use that. (life's been busy &a

Boost Your Mood

We all have those times where we're just blah, or maybe even sad, mad, anxious, whatever. Sure, you can stay that way and just sort through the issues surrounding it or you can do simple little things to make you feel much better. I know that for me I can get into these moods where I just really don't even care to wash my hands and when I realize that I'm in those moods I like to refer to this list of things and pick just one to pull myself out of this funk that I'm in... Sunshine: Just sitting outside can bring so much joy and peace to you its unreal. Take a cup of joe outside and just soak up the sunshine & caffeine. Open your shades on your windows and let the little rays of happiness shine into your house, work space, wherever- I promise you'll feel more energized to get that cleaning done that you've got to do but just don't want to. Go for a walk, alone, with your dog, or even a friend... the sunshine alon
