Quarantine Chronicles

Wow you guys... just WOW. I'm not really sure what this episode is.... other than explicit.   Basically, I had a thought today... like how are people going to know that I'm in a bad mood or don't want to talk to them?! I'm an introvert.. I don't like to talk to people.. OKAY. I'm kidding.. I don't like to talk to strangers.. especially those who tell me to smile. But that hasn't been happening because of the masks. Okay, so in this episode, we learn how to get out of a conversation even with our masks on AND also how to keep a conversation and to show we're interested in the convo with our mask on. Because let's be real... the mask.. covers our whole face and people can't tell our facial expressions with it on, so we have to incorporate the shoulders, the eyebrows, and more! 

This was really a fun episode to make and I hope you guys enjoy it!! Let me know what you guys think and I hope you learned something!

WHAT'S UP QC FAM !! 

I'm back with another episode to talk about more random shower thoughts; some of them we Google to find out the answers to! Some thoughts are better to be thoughts and not google searches though, as we find out in this episode.  We also talk about there's a dumbbell shortage and I basically NEED WEIGHTS !!! WINTER IS COMING!!!!

Sorry if this episode was odd/boring/weird; but ... shower thoughts ... am I right? It's a thing.

Hey there QC FAM!! Hope all is well!! 

Today is Sunday, which means we have another challenge episode. This week you guys blessed me with a "one week of reading" challenge rather than having one week of cold showers. .... (thank you for that BTW, lol). 

So in this episode, I try to make it as entertaining as possible.  I talk about how I hate reading, some odd books I got as gifts, BUT (there's always a but).. how the book I'm reading now... has changed my thoughts about hating to read. That book is ......... "Untamed" by Glennon Doyle .. shocker I know. I've been posting about how much I love this book all week. 

I get into how this book made me CRY, yes cry.  But I also talk about the benefits of reading and some tips to make sure we are truly understand what we are reading.
