some spring deep cleaning ideas for your apartment 🤍

today i’m focusing on deep cleaning my apartment because i completely forgot spring started on monday lol. my advice: always give your space a good deep clean at least 2-4x a month (or more, who cares) and always deep clean every season.

clean blinds

clean windows

sweep balconies

clean mirrors

organize under the sink (kitchen + bathroom)

clean inside drawers

move furniture and sweep/vacuum/mop underneath

strip wash your pillows

repaint over scratched walls + patch up holes

organize closet

mop inside the closet

laundry + fold and put away

change ac filter

change water filter (refrigerator)

pest control (i have it included in my rent but because i live in a semi-tropical environment, i do have crawlies come in sometimes so i buy my own pest control and make sure i place it inside and outside)

deep clean litter box

disinfect doorknobs and handles

clean makeup brushes

clean garbage cans and trash cans

wash bedding

dust ceiling fans

clean base of plant pots

wash/clean your sneakers

put your backpack in the laundry

throw away expired food

organize important papers

get rid of wasp nests outside

dishes

oven cleaning

clean garbage disposal

new air fresheners

fresh air from keeping windows open (turn cleaning fans on so the air can circulate)

wipe off computer, phone, tablet, and tv screens

scrub toilets and bathtubs/showers

put things back where they belong

spray and wipe off washer and dryer

sweep floors, then vacuum (i have hardwood all over my apartment and i still vacuum because it’s easier), then i mop (pine sol is amazing— i love the scent).

put in maintenance requests if needed

clean dryer vents

wash sofa cushions and pillow cases (even on throw pillows)

wash mildew off shower liner

get hair unclogged from drain

clean out your car

refill anything like pens, water bottles, etc.

steam clean carpets

have a professional come and clean rugs

clean welcome mat

replace lightbulbs if needed

toss, donate, and keep clothes in your closet and dressers

happy spring

men’s type is the opposite of what they say

When men talk about their “type” they’re really talking about who they can afford not who they ideally desire to be with

men will say i want a woman who’s natural and doesn’t wear makeup

but who do they follow on IG, and mast*rbate to while watching p*rn, and cheat with, who do they pursue and spend money on : women wearing makeup

men will say i don’t want a gold digger or  high maintenance women

but when given the choice they’ll always go for the high maintenance women, a man will walk into a room and look at the most boojee expensive looking woman, the woman who’s nails and hair look like they cost 2 months of rent, and THAT’s the woman they’ll approach

men will say they want a good girl who loves them for who they are but will be bored with her and actively chase the self absorbed woman who puts herself first

so whatever men say they want they’re lying

they’re describing who they can afford

they can only afford a low self esteem woman, who doesn’t take care of her look and doesn’t ask for much

but who they dream about and wish they could have, who they salivate over and actively pursue and jump hoops for is the exact woman they claim they don’t want

they want the high maintenance bratty chick, the girl who wants to get flown out and go on shopping sprees, the girl who knows her worth and ads tax,

they might hate on her for show, they might go on these podcasts and claim they don’t want that kind of woman, but deep down every man wishes he could show off having a pretty girlfriend and being able to spend on her, no one aspires to be with bottom of the barrel, low maintenance easily accessible women.

so this is your reminder to STAND UP, and know your worth and act like it !

It seems like the more traditional and feminine I become, the more my friends withdraw from me. They poke fun when I wear a dress to lunch, question me when I mention my growing involvement in my church, and actively discourage me when I mention that I want to homeschool my children. They also roll their eyes when I say I want God to decide how many kids I have and not use birth control in marriage. Is it just me? Has anyone else experienced this?

First try at making a peach jam pie with a lattice on the top 🍑

I did get a new dress and it made me feel so girly and cottage core!

Clean your hairbrushes. Trust me...

Donating clothes. Donate the items that you don't wear anymore.

Mindset

Pretty, smart, kind, and prioritising myself.

Positive affirmations!!

Your daily habits play a huge role in your mood/life. Be mindful, and take care of yourself.

It's okay to outgrow people!!

Decide what kind of life you actually want and start saying no to everything that won't get you there.

"I'm attracting opportunities that align with my dream life."

A girl who will do big things can't let small things bother her.

Honestly, reinvent yourself over and over again until you are satisfied with who you are.

Do you want to be comfortable, or do you want to grow?

"Am I doing this for me, or am I performing for others?"

very high standards. VERY HIGH STANDARDS.

Be obsessed with yourself.

2022 has been such a life-changing year for me, not only personally but also regarding my social media! As I already said on Twitter, I'm incredibly grateful for this little community that has formed this year, and I'm excited for all the things that lay ahead of us! I wish everyone a successful 2023 with many beautiful moments and lots of growth!!

unpopular opinions i have on self-improvement

what's a blissfullyecho text post without being a problematic queen? i have no idea, but anyway, here i am spilling what i think is just not it when it comes to self-development ;) lol

saying/writing/listening to affirmations aren't as powerful as you think. if you don't love yourself, forcing yourself to say "i love myself" 100 times every morning and every night isn't going to magically change how you feel about yourself. i get that people like affirmations because it makes them feel good in that current moment, but actual CHANGE isn't going to happen. you have to work on what it is you're trying to accomplish and actually be hands-on.... not just saying shit that you don't believe in right now. saying "i weigh 120lbs" when you weigh 210lbs is ridiculous. saying "a lot of quality men are attracted to me" when you are a psycho loon with bad hygiene and no life direction is also ridiculous. affirmations will make you feel good and cutesy in the moment, but you need to be HANDS ON and actively work on yourself. being passive rarely ever works.

2. gratitude lists are so unnecessary. while i think it's important to remember that you're in a position that some people are dying to be in, i also think you don't have to write a gratitude list of 10 things you're grateful for every morning either. it's just a "filler" to add to your morning routine that gives you a sense of false productivity.

3. romanticizing your life is just a fancy way of saying "my life is just not where i want it to be right now so I'm going to settle for it and make it look better than what it really is" girl, go work on what you're trying to romanticize. if you really had a life you loved, you wouldn't try to come up with ways to make it feel more cutesy and comfortable. work on it.

4. NOT EVERYTHING IS TOXIC. i had an anon tell me the other day, the word toxic has been thrown around so much that it holds NO weight. just because your little feelings were hurt, doesn't mean you can label someone as toxic. toxic requires manipulation and malintent. if your feelings were hurt over someone else's opinions, they aren't toxic. not everyone will see things how you see them. i shouldn't have to tell adults this.

5. some of you abuse the fuck out of rest days. "oh I'm resting because it's good for my mental health". listen girl, you taking a rest day 1-2 days a week is a lot different than you taking a rest day EVERY DAY. be an adult and tackle your responsibilities. life waits for NO ONE.
