People I Follow on YouTube

Posted on by teresamunoz91

A year ago, I didn’t really watch YouTube much. I really only used YouTube to watch music videos. Now I am subscribed to 35-40 accounts. I follow a variety of accounts, from soap making channels, eco friendly and zero waste channels, to anti mlm channels. Here are my favorite accounts.

Soap Making/DIY

If you are into making your own soap or a fan of diy, give these accounts a follow.

Financial/Debt Free Journey

These accounts are so helpful whether you are trying to save money, make money, or pay off debt.

Zero Waste/Eco Friendly/Vegan

You can learn so much about being eco friendly and zero waste from these accounts. A few even talk about veganism, including what vegan products to use and vegan recipes.

My goal is to be more minimalist and have less stuff. These channels give tips on how you can achieve that.

Couldn’t find a way to categorize these accounts. Some of these channels post about motherhood, fitness, funny reactions to videos, journaling, mental health, and social commentary.

Are You a Stacey or a Mary Anne?

Posted on by teresamunoz91

If you know who I am talking about just from seeing their names, then you are also a big Baby-Sitters Club fan like I am! I grew up reading their books and even now at almost 30 years old, I still enjoy reading their books. I have a little over 150 of their books, though they have published about 230+.

Their series just came out on Netflix and I watched it in two days. They updated it a little to modern times, but kept the essential babysitter club stories. I think they did a great job and really hope they plan to make more seasons.

The babysitters in the series are Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, Stacey, Dawn, Jessi, and Mallory. Later on, they were joined by Abby and Shannon (though only as a part time sitter). All these girls have different personalities and hobbies but manage to be friends.

Growing up, I always wished that I was like Dawn. She was the carefree, health conscious, environmentally friendly, cool girl from California. We do have a few things in common, we are both from California and both try our best to be eco friendly. But she is way cooler than I am. The more I think about it, I am actually Mallory. She’s quiet, enjoys reading and writing, wants to be an author when she grows up, and is the oldest of a very big family. We have all those things in common, only I am the oldest of 6 not 8.

 

Have you watched the series yet? What did you think? Also, who do you identify with most?

These were my goals from June. Sadly, I failed most of them.

-I came few two weeks, but the next two weeks I used my phone about 38-42 hours each week

No streaming services aka Netflix, Prime, or Hulu

-Watched Netflix one day and watched Hulu another day, only because I forgot to cancel my Hulu account before I was charged, oops!
Only shop on Amazon once

-I shopped there 9 times!
No Twitter, Facebook, or Snapchat

-Posted once or twice on Snapchat, once on Twitter, and posted once on Facebook, though I went on almost every single day
Run 20 miles

-This was one of the few goals I accomplished. I ran 21 miles in June, including a virtual OC Half Marathon
No shopping at Target

-Shopped at Target twice, which isn’t too bad

No Posts In June

Posted on by teresamunoz91

I just realized that it’s July 6th and I didn’t post a single post last month in June. Fail! I had a few posts started, but June was such a crazy month, I didn’t finish any. To make up for that, I will try to post at least 7 times this month, including this one. Later this week, I will be posting my June recaps and July goals. Also later this week, my newly designed website for Athena Rose will be launching, so stay tuned for that. Thanks, see you next time!
