The flu

It has been three days after Christmas and my family has the flu. This was an unexpected thing. We all just woke up the next day with our throats feeling funny, sneezing, nasal congestion and sinus pressure which then moved to body aches, chills, fevers, and all the things that relates with the flu.

 My father had the flu first and then spread it to everyone. No one knew he was sick until my mom rushed him to the urgent care yesterday and he has been confirmed with the flu. We have been resting, drinking liquids trying to stay hydrated and eating when we can to help our bodies fight this off.

Knowing When to Stop Giving

I want to help, but I’ve learned that sometimes you have to admit when you can’t anymore. For most of 2025, I poured my time, energy, and heart into helping other people. I did it because I cared and because I believed that being there for others mattered. But eventually, I reached a point where I had nothing left to give.

There comes a moment when helping turns into self-neglect. When the same people only take, expect sympathy, and never make changes, it slowly drains you. I spent countless hours trying to support others, offering what I could, while pushing my own needs aside. I felt guilty for even thinking about stepping back.

But I’ve realized that constantly feeling bad for others doesn’t help anyone—especially when it costs you your own well-being. Giving is important, but so are boundaries. You can be a caring person and still choose yourself.

I gave what I could give. Now it’s time to focus on myself, my goals, and the things I need to move forward. And that doesn’t make me selfish—it makes me human.

ReDragon Cronus Headphones review

 Let me just say, We had to plug the headphones usb into the actual case and not the motherboard for the mic to work. These are a cheap $27.99 headphones. They are not the greatest but they are decent headphones. Only saying this because the mic is muffled a little but for the price I can't complain.

They are good for PC, Xbox, PS4, Switch and mobile. It comes with a 3.5MM jack also so you can use it on other things if need be. It does have the wires split for mic and headphones just a heads up.

The mic can also pick up the sounds playing through your headphones and sometimes can even pick up things around you just a heads up.

The headphones also have a volume wheel on the left side where the mic is but it is on the back. The headphones also lights up and unfortunately there is no mute button so you are just going to have to mute in chat if needed.

How I feel lately... Not sure what to do or be in life...

 I know I am not the only one that feels like giving up. Not giving up on life but giving up on hopes and dreams. Giving up on ideas and goals that you have set for yourself for years just for them to never make it. Trust me, I know this.

 I am starting to feel like I have failed myself because I had so many ideas and goals and plans that never worked out along with I have no idea what I want to be in life and that is taking a toll on me being a 28 year old almost a 29 year old trying to figure out what I want to be and do with life but lately, I just feel like it is wasting away daily. I feel like my skills that I have learned along the way are going no where and the things I have done in life is also going no where.

 I have 9+ years of affiliate marketing in which I kind of want to branch out and do something else because affiliate marketing is not an guarantee and you are sometimes just wasting your time trying to get sales on products that others are already promoting and people are not sure about and may or may not buy.    

I feel like I am lost and not good enough. I feel like I am going in a circle trying to make things work or get the things that worked to work  again and it is like that path is closed and not going anywhere but still accessible and I have no clue where to go next. 

Some nights, I go to bed trying to figure out who and what I am suppose to be in this life and sometimes I end up in tears because I do not know and feel so unsure to the point I want to give up but something keeps pushing me to keep going. 

My goals was to make people laugh, make them feel like they are not alone. I also enjoy video games and was like why not record them or stream them so people can watch and not be alone. I always enjoy trying to help people anyway I can. 

I ended up having 4 different blogs that I use one is adult content, one is gaming content, one is this blog where I write and then the other one is a review blog for household products and more. My goal with these blogs was to help people find the things they were looking for or things that could help them along with reviewing products that I have used. Let me start by saying, I do not make anything from these blogs. The only thing I made something from was the adult content because I affiliate market adult toys that I review and that was it but that stopped after 2020 because of covid and no one decided to buy from me anymore. The rest of these, I affiliate market also but I do not get paid anything from it.

I also have social anxiety and other anxieties and disorders that makes it really hard for me to go out and get a normal job. It is like I am scared of the world and afraid and I have no idea where this came from so I decided to go with something that I did not have to interact with people on such as affiliate marketing and freelancing in which I still do at times.

 I then decided you know what, I am up for a challenge and started streaming in which, it did not get me far either. I tried twitch in which we got affiliated but then people stop coming and it felt like another spiral of what did I do wrong? Why are there no viewers? What happened? and it was like I was blaming myself and questioning myself and making it seem like I was the reason for that in which I know I am not. 

I then decided to help my husband out with  Youtube but we never got monetized since we are only at 171 subscribers and it takes a lot of work trying to get content seen and get viewers to watch our videos and we kind of gave up with with trying to get monetized. 

We then moved to Tiktok in which we are at 899 followers in which is really impressive because it keeps growing but again, it is slowly getting there and we are trying to get 1000 followers in which I am not sure if we even are going to make it.

I also stream and post my gaming content to rumble and I am trying to get 100 followers there in which I am at 64 which I never thought I would make it that far but I did but it is really hard to get followers there in my opinion and it is like no one really interacts with you in chat. They do watch but sometimes a little interaction goes a long way. 

I wrote books on Amazon in which I sold a few old ones but never sold my newest ones and it kind of put me into a depressive state. I even marketed it and posted about it and gave details about it but it never went anywhere and I was suppose to write a third and 4th book to go with the chronicles in which I do work on it but what is the point when it isn't getting seen? 

My happiness besides my family was photography. I enjoyed taking nature photos and was trying to sell them but I am not good enough for that. I don't really like editing my photos, I rather them unaltered but I ended up having to sell my camera to help pay for our home in hopes I could end up getting another one but with my health, it never happened but hopefully after surgery it will. 

I don't mean to ramble but this is just how I am feeling lately and it is not a good feeling. I am just trying to figure out what to do and bring awareness to those that feels the same way that I do because this is not an easy feeling to go through alone and trust me, you are not alone. 

Sometimes we just need to sit down and evaluate and write everything because eventually we will find the answers we are looking for. 

Time for change in career

 I have been an affiliate marketer for about 9 years now and honestly I am ready for a change. 

Affiliate marketing is a hit or miss meaning you can make a little bit of cash or you won't make anything and honestly I have been on both ends. Affiliate marketing you are going to have to hit your niche, your target.

 You are going to have to do research and get down into the product. You are going to have to find out what's so special and why people need it. It is more than just plugging links. 

You are going to have to do a lot more to get traffic and entice people to buy it and you are going to have to stand out more than others and your going to have to make it believable. Be upbeat and explain why the need this product or items and what it can do and does. 

There are a lot of people affiliate marketing and trust me, everyone jumped to it because they thought it would be quick and easy and it was until everyone decided to do the same things now it is tougher and hard. 

Also if you decided to get into affiliate marketing. Do not pay for anything to help boost yourself like SEO things and stuff like that because it does not work. Instead use Chatgpt or Copilot and get them to help you come up with SEO things. Also use social media with hashtags and other things to help you grow but the number way of knowing the product is getting it yourself and testing it.

My hysterectomy is scheduled

 It is official, my hysterectomy is January 14th. My fear was that it was going to be before my oldest son's birthday and I would miss his birthday or that it would be on or around Christmas and I would miss that. But it's on January 14th and it's before my birthday so that is my birthday present this year.  I am expected to recover from 4-6 weeks meaning I cannot do anything and I have to heal. 

When Life Knocks You Down: Remember You’re Not Alone

Everyone, at one time or another, falls down on their luck. Life has a way of throwing curve balls that nobody sees coming. One minute everything feels steady and you truly believe things are starting to fall into place—and then, out of nowhere, everything changes. Sometimes it’s small setbacks, and sometimes it’s big situations that shake your whole world.

What makes these moments even harder is that they often come without warning. Bills pile up, health declines, jobs get lost, relationships shift, or unexpected crises show up at the worst times possible. These aren’t things we plan for, yet they hit us in ways that test our strength, patience, and resilience.

But here’s the truth: you’re not the only one going through it. Behind the smiles, the social media posts, and the brave faces, so many people are fighting battles no one knows about. Everyone experiences seasons where they feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure of what comes next. And that doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human.

Hard times can feel isolating, but they also reveal just how strong we are. Sometimes we have to fall apart a little to rebuild stronger. Sometimes we have to go through the storm to realize just how capable we truly are. Every obstacle you push through, no matter how small, is proof that you can survive difficult seasons and come out wiser.

If you’re struggling right now, breathe. Take things one step at a time. It’s okay to pause. It’s okay to ask for help. And it’s okay to not have everything figured out.

Life may knock you down, but it also gives you endless chances to stand back up again.

You’re stronger than you think.
And you’re never going through it alone.

Are Cash-Back Apps Really Worth It? Here Are the Ones I Actually Use Daily

If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered which cash-back programs are truly worth your time. There are so many apps out there promising rewards, but not all of them actually pay out. Over the years, I’ve tested a lot of them—some were great, some were disappointing, and some were just a waste of space on my phone.

But after trying so many, I’ve found a handful of cash-back programs that are 100% legit, easy to use, and actually put money back in my wallet. These are the apps I use every single day, and honestly, they’ve helped me save so much over time.

Why I Use All of These

I’m always looking for ways to save money or stretch my budget. Using these apps together gives me cash back on almost everything I buy—groceries, clothes, household items, gifts, and more. And since they’re all free, it just makes sense.

The cash back I earn throughout the year helps me during holidays, birthdays, and unexpected expenses. It’s like getting paid for shopping I was already doing.

Why We’re All Exhausted — And What We Can Do About It

If you’ve been feeling mentally drained, emotionally checked out, or just tired for no reason lately, you’re not alone. A lot of us are running on empty, trying to hold everything together while the world keeps throwing new challenges our way. Between work, family, bills, and all the pressure to “keep up,” it’s no wonder so many people feel burnt out.

The truth is, burnout doesn’t just happen overnight. It builds slowly. It shows up in smaller ways first — losing interest in things you used to enjoy, feeling irritated over little things, or waking up tired even when you slept enough. Most people push through it thinking it’s normal, but it’s really your body and mind begging for a break.

One of the biggest reasons burnout feels so common now is because life never seems to slow down. We’re reachable 24/7. We’re constantly comparing ourselves to others online. We feel guilty for resting. And when life gets overwhelming, it’s easy to forget that we matter too — our health, our peace, our energy.

So how do we deal with it? The answer isn’t fancy. It’s actually simple:

Start taking care of yourself on purpose.
Not when you break down. Not when you’ve hit your limit. Not when you “have time.” On purpose.

That means saying no when you’re overwhelmed, even if you feel bad about it. It means resting without feeling guilty. It means taking small steps each day to slow your mind down — whether that’s journaling, breathing exercises, reading, disconnecting from your phone, or just letting yourself do absolutely nothing for a moment.

Most importantly, it means remembering that burnout doesn’t make you weak. It means you’ve been strong for too long without giving yourself the same care you give everyone else.

Life will continue to be busy. Responsibilities won’t magically disappear. But you can make room for yourself. You deserve that. Your peace matters. And taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or running on fumes, this is your reminder to pause, breathe, and put yourself first for once. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and you don’t have to feel guilty for refilling it.

Freecash is not worth it

 Do not waste your time on free cash. I was trying to get the stake verification for about 3 weeks now and they told me it was suppose to be an automatic release. They then came up and told me that it could take longer when stake themselves says my account is verified. 

I then went into free cash and it still says verification. The support team does nothing but copy and paste and does not really help resolve you and then they give you wrong dates and it is like they are not understanding the concerns. I got annoyed with free cash. You have to wait for your money you earn to be released if it even gets released and then when you try to see about it you get the run around. 

Everyone always promotes this because they get a few dollars from sign up. The only way I got to cash out was send the what little money I have earned to stake. I never got a PayPal payout or anything because I got annoyed with waiting.

Straightening Brush

 My hair type ranges  between 3B- 4A. My hair is naturally curly and when it is dry it turns into an afro that is very dry and tangly unless I wash it and style it then it is not bad. Brushes and combs hated to see me coming and quiet frankly, I hated to see them coming also. My hair would be a tangled mess and I would break combs and brushes in my hair trying to comb it growing up. It was like a war trying to get my hair done not just that, I was tender headed also and it made everything worst. I only had my hair straighten one time and after that, I had it braided a few times but then no one would bother with it so I ended up wearing it in a pony tail and or bun 98% of the time. 

However, I found a detangling brush that works great. It did not pull my hair as bad and it brushed through it without any issues. I love this brush it worked great when my hair was wet and did not hurt as bad. 

I also bought a straightening brush and let me tell you, it works great. It is USB rechargeable and just glides through my hair. I used this thing hours after I got out of the shower that way my hair is still tamed and not everywhere. This straightening brush does not get hot enough to damage your hair in which I love. It is travel size friendly so you can take it anywhere and not have to worry about finding a plug in. You can do your hair anywhere with it. It comes with a comb and some clips so you can section your hair off which is nice.

Telly the Free TV

 

I did not think this thing was legit until it is now sitting in my living room. This TV is amazing and it is 55 inches! It was 100% free with no catch* except there is a bottom screen under the soundbar that plays ads and that is all.

This tv came with a Chrome Cast (google play stick) to make it a smart tv. It also has inbuilt motion arcade which is great if you have kids or want a work out. It also has fitness, music, video calling, voice assistant, mood lighting, and game room. It took us about a month and a half to get it!

This thing also has LED lights around the back of it in which is cool. This TV is kind of heavy so be mindful trying to put it on the wall and make sure you got the right mounting kit.

Unfortunately there are a lot of rules such as you cannot block the ads on the second screen and Telly can request the TV back and if you don't send it back they will charge you $1000 for it.

• Telly may require you to return the TV if you do not use it as your primary television in your home.
• Failing to keep the TV connected to the internet for extended periods may also trigger a return request.
• Failure to return the product after being required to do so can result in Telly charging the credit card on file. 

No one tells you this until you look into it. So be mindful of getting this cause who has $1000 laying around for a TV like this? Also this TV is use just for data mining basically to gather what you are watching.
