I’ve thought about this website recently and what I could with it since I barely put the effort in anymore. Honestly, it could be the year–what effort has anyone done this year, really. I’ve worked so hard to not go mental, so that MUST be it.
Years ago, I had the idea of starting a personal wine review book. I bought a cute brown (cute as in small, I suppose) moleskin journal to scribble down my thoughts about each wine I tasted so I could remember down the road. Fast forward to now and I barely wrote a page, I don’t even think a wine made it to the book! It didn’t work for many reasons, but I wasn’t about to carry this book around with me everywhere. It just wasn’t possible. I barely carry a purse! I also decided that tasting wine outside of my home was just too bougie for me. I want to enjoy my social engagement, not write a book report!
Let me share another similar story. About a year or so ago (2020 was basically several years so I can’t keep track of time anymore) I accidently bought two of the same concealers that burned under my eyes. I felt like such a moron. You would think I would remember how something feels on my face especially when it HURTS.
With my mind slowly going in a downward spiral, I need a place where I can write all my thoughts and possible share them with the interwebs. And also make it searchable for those instances where my Spider Sense is tingling about something I might have tried before.
Enter my new page about PRODUCT REVIEWS! Yes, I’ve said it. Reviews. I have way too many thoughts on random things that I need an outlet. The internet will have to keep them. Forever ideally. Say, I’ll even give you a glimpse of what to expect.
- Gaming reviews. I’ve played quite a few games. Maybe not as much as some out there, but I play games differently than most so I may have a different outlook on this one. Idk. You’ll have to tell me if I’m wrong 🙂 I figured, sharing my playthroughs on YouTube should be enough, but I’m usually enjoying the story that I don’t have time to think about all the other portions of the game–aside from glitches. I also catch things I miss while editing my videos
- Makeup products. I’ve put a LOT of products on my face (and hair now to think of it) and a LOT of them are terrible. I have a difficult time finding anything that works unless it’s costly so I’m always trying to find a similar product at the drugstores. I’ve also bought two of the same kind of item which I HATE because it didn’t work.
- Alcohol. This one might be my favorite! While I might have some trouble finding notes of ‘whatever’ in higher proof alcohol, I might put my focus on beer and wine since they have much larger flavor profiles. I also tend to drink a lot. This just can’t go wrong!
If someone out there has any recommendations, I’ll be happy to look into them especially if it’s worked for you. I’ll also try to be thorough as possible, but I’ll most likely start with what is important to me. I may even make edits to existing reviews. Thoughts change right?
Here’s to a new year with more creative work ahead! Cheers!
