Brief Passion

Okay. So I took an extended break from posting and I have no true reason why. Some could say depression, being overwhelmed, or even simply pinning it all on overall burnout; yet somehow I manage to take in more passion projects that eventually took prescience over the blog. I struggled with the concept of the ego blog post and truly gave up all hope of trying to make my mind generate words regarding the subject, and therefore I just stoped posting. My time off pushed me into new avenues of creativity; I started playing my sims more seriously (we’ll get into that in a bit), began trying to get back into makeup, and I resumed editing the trilogies (more specifically Mango).

Mango has a new title, some new contexts, and even more juicy bits are being added. For those who are familiar with it, it’s my baby— a book centered around finding love and exploring it… in an interesting way. The story follows along the main character, James, who falls in love with mysterious woman who turns his world upside down. Currently, the book is available on Wattpad but I’m overhauling and editing, making it much for juicy and adding some much needed details and information; so if you’re curious, read at your own risk but there is more to come.

Also during my hiatus, I started up a sims TikTok page— jowithhesims— following my sims shenanigans and storyline. Currently I’m taking a small break from posting but I’ll be back to introducing my sims family and showcasing the glamours and slightly chaotic lives of my sims family. I’ve been playing for myself and fixing my game and in doing so my sims are now aging up on me and it’s driving me crazy. Between my sims with six kids, the one getting married, and the one with a candy problem (yes.), I’m at my whits end.

I’ve added a new section to the website and it’s centered around makeup looks of the past and present. Makeup has always been a passion of mine since college and I’ve made it my mission to create looks and moments that just bring me joy and inspire creativity. I’ve dabbled in a few makeup looks but I feel like there’s so much more I can do and learn. Currently, the section is filled with old looks but moving forward I’ll be posting more and including product details.

At the start of the year, I created this vision board and made promises to to lull myself out of whatever head fog I’d been in for the past few years and between navigating that and trying to maintain my hobbies and interest, my energy ran low real quick. In my absence, I wanted to invest into the things that brought me joy and in doing so g(h)gh ended being outing the back burner— and for that I’m sorry. But now we’re back —and hopefully— better than ever. I look forward to exploring my hobbies and sharing those experiences with you guys as well as updating and chatting on the blog.
