Unsure, Uninspired, Unmotivated

April 6, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

I can’t believe it has been over a week since posting a blog post! I was super occupied last week on Instagram hosting the #RockYourLilly challenge – which was a huge success. I was so happy to see over 500 posts for the week! So thank you so much if you participated and supported me through that.

But I’m not gonna lie, I am feeling super unsure, uninspired, and unmotivated – like most of us are. Last week the challenge distracted me, but this week I need to face the music.

I wish I could go on with life and be content as normal, but I can’t. Now more than ever it’s difficult to get inspired and find things to write and post about. On the personal side of things, each day seems to bring a new battle and some days are better than others. Some days I am highly motivated – I do my workout, eat, clean, get dressed, and get stuff done. Other days I eat 20 Oreos and cry because I want this all to be over.

It’s interesting to think about considering my life isn’t all that different during all of this. Grant has worked from home for years, and I’ve been doing school online for years. It’s crazy how big of a difference going out and about in the evenings can make to your mental health.

Why am I writing this? To let you know you’re not alone! And even when someone’s life looks amazing online – it may not be. I’m really hoping to get back into the swing of things blog-wise over the next week. Even if I just write one blog post a week, it’s better than none.

Every day I pray for the healing of our country. I pray to God that someday soon things can be as normal as possible. If there is one thing this situation has done for me, it has made me appreciate the little things. I hope you’re all doing well and staying healthy and sane.

Thanks for reading,

xoxo
Jayme

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫
*as a Disney annual passholder*
(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
