happy wednesday!

it is currentlyyy 9:07 pm on march 5th! today i established a new routine for myself! and today was the first day i tried it, and i really like it!

so, in the morning when i wake up, i will start doing morning stretches and working out, and not like HUGE workouts, just five squats and jumping jacks, and a 10 second plank! i don't wanna tire myself out first thing in the morning. after doing my morning stretches to get my blood flowing, that's when i usually brush my teeth and do my skincare. I usually take showers at night so i don't have to worry about it in the morning, but if i have to shower in the morning, i'll do that during this!

after doing my skincare, then i'll moisturize my face and body and spray myself so i smell good! then, i'll get dressed for the day (and then do my makeup and hair if i decide to wear makeup).

after i return home, i get undressed, take a shower, and then until about 9:50 pm, i just chill or i do some writing! usually try to be productive and make myself busy instead of doomscrolling lololol

then at around 9:50, i do my nighttime stretches, brush my teeth and get my stuff ready for the next day! my goal is to go to bed around 10-10:30. i'm tired of going to bed at midnight or 1 am!

of course i will have days where it won't be all planned out, for example, nights where i get off of work at midnight or 1 am, but i will adjust! i just wanted to update that and i will update in a week how it's going! goodnight everyone and enjoy your night :)))

happy wednesday!

today i had work so i didn't do much at home but yesterday i was off and just did things like laundry and clean my bathroom!

i just wanted to talk about something that happened to me today and truly analyze it!

this girl i work with (who, i will admit now, i do not like at all solely because she always gives me a hard time just cause) called me 'white washed' to another coworker. and honestly, when i first heard that she said that, i laughed it off! i've been called 'white-washed' and 'oreo' since i was a little girl in elementary school, so i just found it funny that even years later, that still hasn't changed.

i just started thinking about it a little deeper. as she was a black girl, and i am a black girl. and it makes me realize: what makes me "not black?"

i agree that i am a weird person, legit i have been a weird girl since i was young, and that's kinda always how i've been. my parents didn't raise me around negative influences and as i started to branch out as my own person, i always gravitated towards the groups of kids everyone made fun of. truly, those were the only people who understood me and made me feel comfortable.

so what of my personality makes me white-washed? what features do i exhibit that take away my blackness? when do i qualify as being white-washed?

i think this just has to do of what people view as "stereotypically black", things like listening to mainly rap/rnb music, speaking and talking dramatically and loudly, wearing ripped skinny jeans and sneakers, wearing braids, so on and so forth. i don't think i'm better than any other black person because i don't do these things, i'm simply comfortable just being different and not adhering to what other people want me to be. it makes me wonder maybe she's just jealous, i am cringe and weird but i am free!

butttttt that's all i wanted to talk about since it was heavy on my mind, i hope you all enjoy the rest of your night! new days equal new beginnings! liyah out :3

trying new things!! / introduction post

creating a personal blog as a new chapter in my life! it is now currently februrary 17th, 2025, 11:44 pm.

some things i want to accomplish before summer begins is:

a new makeup routine

a new skincare routine

establish a consistent makeup routine

be more productive during the day

build my social profile

get my license...(i'm getting there trust)

n just find joy in my life again

i believe i can accomplish these goals, i just have to believe in myself and hold myself accountable for completing them. i will have the support of my boyfriend and my friends :)

but i should probably start off with an introduction post, huh?

i never know how to start these things because i want to be private about personal information, the internet is a scary place nowadays!

i go by liyah on every other social media platform, i'm a huge fan of frogs, musicals, video games, tv shows and movies, and practically any form of media. i'm 18 years old and a supervisor at a theme park! i live with my family n toy poodle and currently been dating my amazing boyfriend for six months :).

ermmmm that's all for now! i plan on writing everyday as i love to write and i think it would be a good outlet, especially when i'm having harder days. i also want to use it to give advice and document my life! i hope i can meet and talk to other people like me with my similar interests!

liyah out :3
