thoughts from a drama queen in an iso box: day three




hello world.

today is day three and i feel pretty blah. still got your standard sinus infection symptoms, but the death rattle of a cough and the exhausted-ness that everyone has talked about has finally made its presence known. i am not a fan.

with that being said, today was friday july eighth and whilst in iso i did/thought the following:

did not binge watch a show. the tired part of me didn’t feel like jumping into something so i took a five hour afternoon nap instead and listened to podcasts all morning. i personally love podcasts from the try guys universe – the trypod, you can sit with us and guilty pleasures, mainly because i am never 100% sure what i am going to hear. the way they can go from silly and fun banter to serious discourse about important life topics is a skill i think everyone who is involved in those shows has mastered and they just feel like a bunch of friends talking and laughing that i can creepily eavesdrop on whilst drinking my coffee. if ya like weird stuff, good and bad advice and movie commentary, 10/10 would recommend dropping by the trypods youtube channel or searching them up wherever you listen to ya podcasts.

painted my nails! i finally got around to making them look pretty again with some cool new polishes from an aussie company a lovely co-worker recommended to me. you can see the finished product for yourself in the cover photo, but they look so awesome and the quality is top-notch! who said iso couldn’t be a little glamourous? (side note: ignore the average paint job or lack of glitter on my nails, just look at the pretty colours!)

thought that i didn’t have a lot of energy today. what did lift my spirit was talking through the wall to my lovely parents who i have not infected with the spicy flu (woohoo!) and getting a few messages from some lovely people checking in on little old me to see how i was doing in iso. it honestly means a lot, so thank-you to those peeps for thinking of me <3

that’s enough waffle, fingers crossed my nails are dry enough that i can go to bed….

love and the best meatball sandwich from subway i think i’ve ever had,

My favourite Disney boss ladies 💕

Hello everyone, As a young girl, I grew up watching Disney. Disney Channel TV shows and movies were most of my favourites, but the classic Disney princess stories always fascinated me too. As a 22 year old millennial, I’ve realised that these females were some of my biggest inspirations growing up, and even now. Aside from the amazing and uplifting songs that these characters have gifted the world, there are also lessons to be learned from their stories. This International Women’s Day, I thought I would share what I have learned from some classy Disney boss ladies over the years: Merida Source: Pinterest As Pixar’s first princess, Merida’s attitude could be interpreted as the anti-thesis of what the stereotypical Disney princess was supposed to aspire to. Rebelling against her mother’s wishes for her to be a prim and proper lady who marries a pre-determined suitor, Merida is a scrappy, young and fearless girl who ultimately learns the importance of compromise and loving...

my thoughts on the Star Wars sequel trilogy.... 🌟🎬😐

Hello everyone! I hope you are surviving in this weird and crazy time, and that you haven't murdered any family members yet, or put anything super embarrassing in the background of your work Zoom calls. Today is May the 4th, and most people would know that the wonderful world of Star Wars and its devoted fandom have claimed it for their annual day. 'May the Fourth be with you', and all 😉. It's really fun and hilarious, and I want to jump on the band wagon. I've been super invested in the most recent trilogy and I have some thoughts now that the Skywalker Saga has come to an end. If you're a Star Wars nerd like me, or if you are looking to get into another franchise during isolation times, keep reading and see what I thought of the sequel trilogy.... In a galaxy far, far away.... Source: wallpapersafari.com Few franchises come close to the intense adoration and fandom of Star Wars. In the spirit of reboots and ‘everything old is new again’, a new f...

thoughts from a drama queen in an iso box: day six

Image
  hello world. today has not been a day full of energy. therefore i have not had a lot of motivation to do much of anything interesting or useful. i am still rocking a bit of a cough and there is gunk still present in my head, but thankfully nothing new has presented itself. in not having much oomph today, there also isn’t much of a preamble to the highlights of today. so today was monday july eleventh and whilst in iso i did/thought the following: slept in until two o’clock pm. through trying to outrun multiple different nightmares that did not make me feel well rested and not needing to be anywhere in a hurry today – for obvious reasons… - i just kept rolling over and hitting snooze. that reminded me of early lockdown days in 2020 where i wasn’t employed at the time and could sleep in until early afternoon. it feels great in the moment, but also throws the entire vibe of the day off so that could have explained my general lack of oomph… caught up with episodes of the late...
