June Favorites | Summer Favorites | Summer Loves

_____________

This one is super late. I meant to post it earlier and title it as ‘Current Favorites.’ Didn’t happen :\  I hope these Favorites also help you remember the brighter side of things during Quarantine :D Some of the stuff was around the last week of May, but I just decided to tuck it in here because I already published my May Favorites earlier. 

If I don’t have the photos, I included in my list, it’s because I’m probably planning on revealing in a separate post. I just don’ like repeating stuff because I get really confused on whether I’ve already included /discussed about the products or not. So please stay tuned in the upcoming future posts! Thank you!

x Mama Bear loving her garden project

x Tumblr being untainted by social media promos. It’s like going to a digital countryside and I just enjoy all of the posts there that genuinely feels refreshing to the soul | { Empress } My Tumblr account link :3 

x CDC announced that surfaces aren’t high carriers or doesn’t transfer the virus as easily. It put me more at ease when it comes to opening boxes / getting groceries and such. Not that I stopped washing hands or been lenient about not touching my face. But it was definitely a load taken off my shoulder. I’m still careful, I’m just not as stressed as before. That was good for my mental health, because I am literally MONK.

#non-favorites

x Consecutive nightmares 

x Pinterest not letting my new graphic design as much view/exposure. Guess the algorithm changed again.  

x I feel like I’m failing at Blogging. I didn’t try so hard last year and I was able to get brand collaborations. Now, it’s the opposite. 

x Family members doing shady shit D: Ugh. Right after being nice to them. I hate being so thoughtful and considerate all the time D: 

x Losing a friend because of Covid. Because I’m asian, I’m the scapegoat for the virus outbreak? I talked about this on my Twitter and I was kinda sad that they’ve been hinting that they don’t want to be friends anymore. It was a good friendship while it lasted. Anyway, I haven’t been watching their Youtube channel anymore. 

x Feeling like giving up on my blog . _ . 

x Turning off sync on gmail by accident has caused it to not remember any of my old passwords saved D: UGHHHH. I hate bad things stacking up. I feel like I can’t catch a break from 2020 D: And I hate that stupid guest option that makes me so paranoid ): I’m so bummed out . ____ . 

x I met a Karen outside of Kinokuniya who shrilled at me even though she is the one blocking the entrance. I couldn’t exit properly so I was just standing near the doorway waiting for them to stop blocking the doorway, and she screamed “watch out” to her son in the most racist tone possible. Like, I’m the one wearing my mask properly and been waiting for them to patiently let me pass, while they have their mask hanging by their ear or not wearing them at all D: Jesus fucking Christ. 

x bad tummy ache from a salty bun 

x TX particularly my county reaching Level 1 Red Alert D: FUCK THOSE PEOPLE THAT DIDN’T WANT TO WEAR A MASK 

x :( Bloggers who aren’t nice
