Hello June and goodbye May!

May started off busy. My little sister came to visit and we hung out and went to a hip hop music festival together. After that, my father in law was in town for my husband’s graduation. So my May got off to a fun but busy start. Once I was done with people visiting I worked on some cosplay projects. I didn’t do much reading in May, but I did start a new anime series.

I was in need of a new set of coasters for my office after my mini pallet coasters started to fall apart. So searched the internet for something cool but after a half an hour of searching, I didn’t find anything worth buying. Then while I was digging through my craft supplies I found a pack of wood circles and decided to make a set of coasters. I went through a few ideas in my head before deciding on a set of PlayStation buttons. So I dug through my box of acrylic paint for the right colors, created a template for the shapes in photoshop, and started on work on my new coaster set. They were easy to make and pair well with the decor of my office.

So if you’re looking for a new coaster set or a gamer looking to add some flair to your game room, give this project a try.

Have you ever felt aches and pains after hours of gaming? Or do you have a desk job that involves sitting at the computer for long periods of time? If the answer to that question is yes then you’re in the right place. Playing video games or sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time can cause problems in your eyes, neck, shoulder, wrist, and back. You can relieve and even prevent the problems caused by this by wearing blue light blocking glasses while you game or work on the computer, and doing a few simple stretches. So if you start to feel tension after playing a game for a while or have a desk job that involves hours on sitting try doing these simple stretches. This will help relieve or prevent any neck, back, wrist, or shoulder pain you may experience while playing video games or during a long workday.

It’s easy to get sucked into social media. You want to be seen, heard, connect, and network so you can build your brand.  But sometimes social media can consume your life and be harmful to your overall mental health and productivity. Constantly scrolling through social media can cause stress, depression, and jealousy toward those around you. But opening up a social media app is far easier than closing it. Especially, if you work in social media or to promote your business or blog. You don’t have to quit social media just cut back on the amount of time you’re spending on social media. So here are some ways to cut back on your social media use.

Happy Monday everyone! Today’s post is going to be different from what I usually post. Because I’ve been tagged by the amazing and talented JustNatonya and Geraldine Talks to do a post inspired by Vogue’s 73 questions videos. One thing I like about this tag is it’s a simple and fun way to get to know the person behind the blog.
