“Every successful person in the world is a hustler one way or another. We all hustle to get where we need to be. Only a fool would sit around and wait on another man to feed him.”

THE RANT: GOOD SAD AND LADYBUGS
Been a couple weeks. I feel pretty good with my life. Been hustling, been slowly going through my house section by section in each room. I feel like I am filtering out things I don’t need anymore, stuff I’ve outgrown. It’s weird because the more stuff I go through and organize my home, the more time, I feel, I have which is not really because the time was always there, but I think I was just so unhappy I would just sit on my ass and watch tv.
It’s foreign to me to walk and drive and be home and have a smile on my face. No complaints, but just happy I am there. I’m feeling good about my future, when it comes to my mindset. I have been having TOO much fun though with drinking so I definitely realize that is something I need to stop for the moment. Got a little carried away lately.
Although my mental health has been going well lately, my heart hurts this very moment. Someone I love and care about, I know is probably going to read this and possibly roll their eyes and laugh…. I just want to say I hope you can think about it, and plan to meet in person to talk sometime.
I feel like in serious conversations, good or bad, are just so awful to talk through texts now, right? I know it’s the new norm but to understand emotion and meaning behind something tends to be distant or unknown. How can we change these patterns? I know I need to change some patterns with my relationship to the phone. I was going through my phone settings (Android, don’t hate) and I noticed there are settings to limit usage on phone which is cool. Thinking about it. Anyways, I hope you all are well and learning how to bring peace within yourself.
Also, this week’s horoscope guidance from cleanse and co (below at end) is pretty on point this week. What about you?
OOOOH ALSO
When I was pregnant, I used to get a lot ladybugs on me. I also thought they loved my son and I felt they protected us. My son always has ladybugs near him (he’s now 13). Even our first apartment had over 100 ladybugs living in out bedroom. I always told my son they were good luck and they protect us. Today, I had a moment of tears and my son messages me and says “mom, maybe this is good luck but our house is surrounded by ladybugs.” I didn’t see them by the time I came home but in that moment, I felt it was the universe giving me notice on my hurt and maybe saying it will be ok. Like sending the message to my son maybe? I don’t know. It was a special moment.

MOVIES AND SHOWS
Reptile 2023 (Netflix) * * * *
Drama Crime
Starring Justin Timberlake and Benicio Del Toro. Real estate agent is brutally murdered. Was it her partner? Was it this mysterious guy that hang around with a chip on his shoulder. The detective gets pulled left and right but there’s a twist… It was good. I liked it.
Haunted Mansion 2023 (Disney+) * * * * *
Horror Fantasy
I really really really enjoyed this movie. Now I have seen the muppets and Eddie Murphy versions but THIS tops it! This one was so much better because of how deep and emotional the story goes. The actors were so funny. The layers of the story kept it very interesting. I definitely recommend watching it, kids or no kids. Owen Wilson… come on lol
What Happened to Monday 2017 (Netflix) * * * * *
Sci-Fi Action
I am actually really surprised how long it took me to even know about this movie. Really good. Same actress who played in The Girl Who Played with Fire, which was also a great movie. Movie is about the future and how they need to limit children in families. Only one child is accepted. One woman had 7 babies! Hidden from the world, acting as one person and taking turns to be this person in the real world. If they are caught… no good… action was good story was cool. Give it a watch.
No One Will Save You 2023 (Hulu) * * * * *
Horror Fantasy
I think this movie only had 2 lines in it. For no talking, it was a great movie. At least I think. Tes, it is an alien movie but I thought it was great and not cheesy. The ending may give mixed feelings but even American Horror Story has weird endings, Aliens coming the earth movie, give it a watch, get some popcorn!
No Hard Feelings 2023 (Netflix) * * * *
Comedy
Jennifer Lawrence is paid to take out a young introvert man before he goes t ocollege. Her job is to open him up and essentially have sex with him. The parents hired her haha, it’s a silly movie. One time watch type movie. There’s a funny scene of her naked on the beach and getting into a fight… I don’t think it was her real body but yea it was hilarious haha.
Nowhere 2023 (Netflix) * * * *
Claustrophobic
This is one of those one man survival type movies. This pregnant woman trying to survive in a slowly sinking container in the ocean. I thought it was pretty interesting. I watched the dubbed version.
Some shows I recommend if you have nothing to watch: Suits, Disappeared
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
SLEEP and ENERGY
help me with this
I have trouble sleeping, I always want to sleep for like 10 hours.
I also don’t have consistent energy. Adrenal cocktails help but more so in the moment, not so much long lasting. Comment below for recommendations please!

SAFETYCUT PROJECTS SERVICES
If you haven’t checked it out yet, yes I make candles! I make symbolic candles. Candles with meaning, I guess you can say like a type of intention candle.
I choose a theme, I do research on the meaning of herbs and flowers so that it matches well with my theme candle. Then I have to play with scents so they smell good together. Each candle has 3 scents I mix, not premixed. They are great for meaningful gifts! Etsy Shop Here
