My Favorite YouTubers (UPDATED)

4/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! I was looking back at some of my old blog post, and I found one that I thought needed to be updated. The first time I ever did a “Favorite YouTubers” post was JULY OF 2019! Now that is nearly 10 months ago, and I feel like my tastes have changed a little, so I give you a revised list of some of my FAVORITE YOUTUBERS!!! This blog post will probably be split up into 2 parts because I have a lot of favorites. ALSO these are in no particular order. They are just in the order in which I remembered them.
  1. Tara Sun- I have been following Tara on Instagram for a few months, and she FINALLY made a YouTube channel. She is a Christian Fashion blogger, and she just has the kindest heart. I love her videos and I HIGHLY recommend you check out her channel and blog. https://www.immeasurablymoreblog.com/
  2. TwoSetViolin- This channel is ESSENTIAL to any music major who wants a few laughs. They are so funny. Brett and Eddy are two violinists who react to videos, do different violin challenges, and are all together complete and utter crackheads.
  3. girl in calico- This channel is a new edition to my favorites list. Kaetlyn is a Christian who focuses on homemaking and slowing down in life. Her videos are calming and aesthetically pleasing, and honestly, I want to be her when I grow up.
  4. Alisha Marie- MY QUEEN! Alisha makes lifestyle, and pretty much any video she feels like making. I have been a fan of hers since forever.
  5. The Game Theorists- Something that many people don’t know about me is that I LOVE gaming. I don’t do it much because I don’t have a gaming system, and I am also BROKE! Matt puts a lot of work into his videos and it really shows. My favorite series is all of the FNAF theories, and it’s one of the first few videos I saw of his. As I'm writing this, I am watching/listening to their FNAF theories in the background. 
  6. jnaydaily- I LOVE THIS GIRL SO MUCH! One of her videos came up in my YouTube recommendations page, and I immediately subscribed. She makes lifestyle and home décor videos/vlogs. Her humor is OUTSTANDING, and I just love her personality.
  7. Elena Tabor- Elena makes travel vlogs and other lifestyle videos. I like to live vicariously through her life. She lives in New York, and she just seems like the SWEETEST person.
  8. ALLISON- Allison makes daily vlogs. She is also a Christian and her videos are the cutest! I love watching vlogs and hers are some of my favorites.
  9. Jenn Im- Jenn is a Fashion guru, and I LOVE her videos. Right now, she’s uploading vlogs because #quarantine. Her and her husband are SO CUTE!
  10. Cherish Danae- Ahhhh Cherish. Cherish makes whatever videos she wants, but it’s always guaranteed that you’ll laugh. Cherish is probably my favorite YouTuber, and yes, I’m a little biased 😊. (She’s my cousin/big sister by the way) I HIGHLY recommend you check her out!
That’s it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this, and look forward to my Part Two of this list NEXT WEEK!

​Bye guys,

Taking Life One Day at a Time

4/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! How are you guys doing? Comment down below and let me know!! Today I want to talk about something that God has been teaching me, and that is to take one day at a time. It seems like a very simple concept until you realize what it means.

I have always been interested in slow living and minimalism. I follow a couple of YouTubers (The Fairyland Cottage, and calico and twine) whose content is all about slow living and zero waste/minimalism. I consider myself a pretty frugal person in most aspects in my life. If I’m shopping then I will try to get the best deal, ask my mom.
​
Coming home from college for spring break I was expecting to get a little bit of a break, but because of Auntie Rona I am forced to be at home doing school through Zoom University. (PSA: If you are confused by my references then here it is: Auntie Rona= Coronavirus, Zoom University= a new meme about how all of us college students aren’t going to our original universities because we’re all on Zoom) I feel like I’m in this weird limbo state of mind. I’m still in school, but I also feel like I’m on a never-ending vacation where I get the same amount of sleep as I would on campus which is basically NONE! This past week has been a very difficult one school wise. I had a lot of deadlines that had to be met, and I was definitely not prepared.
​
Normally I am very good at adjusting in a very quick span of time, but this whole Zoom and quarantine thing has just thrown me for a loop. Maybe it just came at the weirdest time. Usually I can adjust quickly because I see the change coming. I adjust to big cites, ie. New York and London,  because I know I'm going to those places. I didn't adjust very well with college life, but it was better than I thought! I think my problem, in this case, was that I was so prepared to go back to school and finish out my semester, but now I'm doing school on my couch. I have been asking God why he let this happen, but he keeps reminding me to breathe, slow down, and that he has everything in control. So I'm gonna take his advice and slow down. I'll let you know how it goes!

I hope you guys are using this time to slow down. That's it for now guys!

Bye guys!!

EXCITING NEWS!

4/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! I usually don't post twice a week, BUT I couldn't keep this to myself! Let's start from the very beginning.

This journey started about two years ago on Facebook. I know, kind of weird right? I was doing my daily scroll when I saw an ad for this company called Elevated Faith. I didn't really think anything about it, and I just scrolled right on past. Then the add kept coming up every time I was on Facebook. After a few weeks I caved and got on their website. What I saw made my life so much better. ALL OF THE PRODUCTS WERE SO CUTE!!! The only problem was and is that I'm BROKE! I don't have a steady income, and that is very sad. I am getting a job this summer, don't worry!

After this initial discovery I left the company alone for a long time, until the past 8-ish months. I have been on their website nearly every week trying to decide if I should buy some things, but I never did because once again I AM BROKE and I was trying to pay my school bill (which by the way is paid off PRAISE GOD)! Then I discovered that they have a Affiliate program, so I applied. I got an email the other day that told me that I'm an ELEVATED FAITH AFFILIATE! You can use either this link: https://bit.ly/348HJYb to get some money off your order, OR you can use my coupon code: NoelleA15 at checkout! I am SO SO excited to start this journey with a company that I love SO SO dearly!

That's it for today guys! Catch y'all later!

Quarantine, Online School, and Overwhelming Breakdowns

4/5/2020

2 Comments

 
Hello friends! Welcome back to the blog. As I am writing this I am in my bed, and procrastinating doing my Old Testament reading. So WELCOME TO THE QUARANTINE BLOG.

Here are some updates! In person classes are cancelled for the rest of the semester, so we are doing it through Zoom. I honestly feel like I am way more stressed out at home than I would have been on campus. Some of my professors have decided that they are going to try different software’s to “help us out” which means MORE ASSIGNMENTS!! I got so overwhelmed by this very big transition that I had two complete breakdowns within 5 hours of each other. I got so stressed about some homework and quizzes, which is something that I do NOT do well with, that I completely broke down at my desk. Not my finest moment, I will admit, but it taught me valuable lesson. I NEED TO SLOW DOWN! This state of being usually happens during finals week, so zombie-stressed Noelle is making a VERY early entrance.

Quarantine is going pretty well though. I have been playing a lot more music so much more, and I have just finished writing some letters to my college friends. I have been super active on Pinterest, so go follow me @noelle_janae! I also started a singing account on Instagram (@noellesingssss). If you didn’t see it on my social media’s, but I have also been cooking a TON and I MADE BREAD!!!! It was soooo good. Highly recommend! I got the recipe from Pinterest, and I highly recommend Pinterest for all your recipe needs.

I think that’s it for today! Hope you guys are healthy, safe, and STAYING INSIDE!!

BYEEEE!!

LONDON PART 1

3/4/2020

Hello friends! Today I bring you the highly anticipated London blog! Today I will be covering the first day because this post ended up being A LOT longer than I originally thought it was going to be. I have been avoiding writing this blog post. I think this is the hardest thing I have ever had to write. Every time I think back to my trip I am overwhelmed by so many emotions. I think back to the many moments that I had, and I feel so much joy, anger at some of my kids (yes I am a choir mom), and so much sadness. I’m sad cause the trip had to end, but that is NOT the point of this post! Let’s get IT!!

Day 1: The first day of the trip started at BNA (Nashville Airport) at 4 pm. I met up with the choir and we checked into our flight before heading off to security. Everyone went through security very smoothly, and we eventually made it to our gate. We all hung out until our flight was called which was about an hour. Once we got on the plane we all tried to get settled into our seats fairly quickly and after 10 minutes we took off! The plane ride was NEVER ENDING, and the food that was served on the plane was TRASH! I do not recommend. Our flight was about 8 hours, and it was an overnight flight. I slept a few hours in total, but it was very hard when you don’t have much legroom.

Picture
Once we landed we filed off the plane, grabbed our bags, and went through customs which was surprisingly easy. After our group had gone through we made our way to our bus that was going to take us to our hotel. This is a picture I took on that bus on our way to the hotel. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in the Kensington Area. We couldn’t get into our rooms right away, so we put our stuff into a little holding room. After putting our stuff away we made our way to our “orientation” where we met our “tour guide” Harry! Harry is THE BEST guy I have ever met, and it is NOT because of the fact that he is from London. 

The orientation went by really fast and after we were able to go around London and explore it on our own. Before venturing off on our own, Harry took us to Gloucester Station to show us how the tube (London Underground/subway) worked. I and another chaperone took a few of the kids to The Ritz and we walked around there for a little bit before getting something to eat. The first place we went to was a pub and we all had a cheeseburger and chips (fries in the US). I know, not the most British thing to eat as a first meal, but it was the only pub/restaurant around that we could afford. After eating we walked down to Hyde Park and we went to Buckingham Palace.

My group saw the changing of the guards, and it was FANTASTIC! I definitely fangirled while I was there. After some more sightseeing, we took the tube back to our hotel which was right by Gloucester Station which was really nice. I got a hang of the underground system pretty fast, and I also adjusted really fast and really well to the London atmosphere. 

After getting back to the hotel we got into our rooms and freshened up super fast cause the London New Years Day Parade was hosting a special dinner for us. It was NOT good AT ALL! One thing I will not miss is BLAND FOOD! OH MY GOODNESS! Granted, the fish and chips are the bomb. After dinner, we had a late-night rehearsal for our concert the next day. It was a pretty good rehearsal, and I’m so happy that it was over fairly fast.  After that we went to bed, thus ending the first day.

That's it for today! I'm so sorry that this has literally taken me 2 and a half months to right, but I have been INSANELY busy. I will return soon, hopefully, with the rest of my trip. HAVE A GREAT WEEK GUYS!

My High Expectations for Myself

12/14/2019

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! I wasn’t planning on posting this today, but I feel like I need to do this for my own peace of mind. When it comes to people besides myself I have learned to have low expectations. I have perfected the art of using what’s handed me and making the most of it. When it comes to myself I have the highest expectations. It’s truly outrageous!! I will be the first to admit that I am not the most consistent person. I think we have all seen this first-hand. I often set myself up for failure without even realizing it! Let’s take Blogmas for example. I knew that doing this challenge during December was going to be difficult. December is one of my busiest months. This December I had my first college finals week, a huge Christmas concert that had three days worth of rehearsals, and I am going out of the country in a couple of weeks. 

Given the circumstances, I decided to pre-plan some blog posts. Those helped a lot, but I didn’t do enough of them. I have to remind myself that I’m doing the best I can, but my mind like’s to turn on me. It’s pretty great (not really). I knew that I had finals this month and that I was leaving the country BUT I CONVINCED MYSELF THAT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA! I still don’t know if this was a good idea, but I’m still gonna try to finish this out strong! 

Another thing that I wanted to do is be more consistent. That was a big goal for me to try to accomplish at the being of 2019. I think I have done fairly well this year. I posted more this year than last, and that’s a feat in and of itself. I feel like learning how to be consistent is a life long goal of mine. I just have to remind myself that I should give myself grace when I fail and that I don’t have to have such high expectations for myself.

That’s pretty much all for today! I hope you guys enjoyed my mini therapy session. I will, hopefully, see you guys tomorrow. BYE!!!!

10 of My FAVORITE Christmas Songs

12/10/2019

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! I come to you people today to share my Christmas Playlist. This has some classics and some newer songs. There are also multiples of songs but each one is a different arrangement of the original song. If you would like to listen to these songs then I have made my YouTube playlist public! The link will be at the bottom of the post. Also, this is not all of the songs on the list because if I did that then this post would be a mile long. Let’s get started!

  1. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Trap Remix)- This song came up in my YouTube recommendations page one day a couple of years ago, and it has been my favorite thing EVER! I found more Christmas trap remixes, and I can safely say they are my second favorite thing about Christmas (first being the birth of Jesus).
  2. You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch (Trap Remix)- This is my favorite trap remix of ALL TIME! The whole thing is a CLASSIC for me!!! 
  3. Little Drummer Boy (Pentatonix)- This was the first song I ever heard from Pentatonix, and it is still one of my favorites. I have memorized this whole arrangement.
  4. Go Tell It On Mountain (Pentatonix)- This is my favorite arrangement of this song, PERIOD! The excellence that jumped out.
  5. Mary, Did You Know? (Pentatonix)- This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, and this is definitely an awesome arrangement.
  6. Winter White Hymnal (Pentatonix)- I LOVE THIS SONG WITH MY WHOLE HEART!! I have each voice part of this song memorized, and I used to know how to do the lap thing they do in the video. I just love everything about this song.
  7. Carol of the Bells (David Foster)- I put this song on here cause this is my mom’s favorite arrangement of this song, and I have grown to love this song.
  8. Glorious (for King & Country)- This is my FAVORITE Christmas song that for King & Country has written. I love the feel, the lyrics, and that modulation at the END!!!
  9. The First Noel (Tenth Avenue North)- This is my favorite arrangement of this song. It surpasses anything I have ever heard. Every other song? Trash compared to this. (That was a joke)
  10. You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch (Jim Carrey)- THIS SONG IS THE BE ALL END ALL OF CHRISTMAS SONGS!! My love for How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey) is never-ending. You can ask my friends, and they will tell you how much I love this movie!!

That is all today! Don’t forget that the YouTube playlist is linked above!! Have a great day, and I will see you guys tomorrow!

Twas the Night Before Finals by Noelle Janae

12/4/2019

0 Comments

 
Twas the night before finals, when all through the campus
The students were struggling, and slipping into madness 
The library was full of hard-working students,
Who hadn’t studied in months

At 2 am the students go to bed
With worries and stress in their heads
Coffee and Jesus is what will get them through
If only school could end soon

Study sessions were a big deal
The information they got was ideal
Maybe it wasn’t going to be bad
They became a little glad

The night before finals is stressful
But they were going to be successful
The students see the end is near
They will soon lift up a big cheer



As I am writing this it is Reading Day.  All classes are canceled and the students use it as a day of studying before finals start. I hope you like my little rendition of the original poem. I hope you guys have a great day, and I will see you guys tomorrow!

BYE!!!

My Winter Skincare Routine

12/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! Today I bring you a new kind of blog post! My skincare routine has never been consistent, but it has never changed. I have been trying to figure out what skin type I have. I have never gone to a professional because I am #broke and in college. This is not me trying to get you guys to buy these products, but this is just what I use! So let’s get started!

1. My first step is to take my makeup off! I use whichever makeup wipes I had happened to pick up at the moment, and I wipe off a majority of my makeup with that. (Side note: I don’t always wear makeup. Actually, I probably wear it two or three times a week) ​, but when I do I always use makeup removing wipes first. These are pretty good, but they are definitely not the best. They smell really good though because these are tea tree and peppermint scented. 
Picture

2. After I use the makeup wipe, I use a cotton round with my Micellar Cleansing Water from Garnier Skin Active to finish the process. I originally got this when the Family Dollar by my house was closing and it was only $2!! It is probably the best skincare purchase I’ve made. This stuff has CHANGED MY LIFE!! I love this so much. It takes all of my makeup off with no hassle. I just use this with a cotton round, and I am good to go.
3. This stuff is SO GOOD! I bought this facial cleanser awhile ago from Brandless, and I have used it over the past few months and it has definitely cleared up my skin. This was $3 when I got it, but Brandless has really increased their prices since I bought it.
Picture
Picture
4. This stuff is also from Brandless, and I really like it. It was also $3 when I bought it, but it's more pricey now. It's good for in the mornings whenever you're running out of time.
5. I use this night cream at night, obviously. It is also from Brandless. Are you guys sensing a pattern here? This stuff works wonders. My skin is definitely less dry after using both of the moisturizers. LOVE THIS STUFF!!
Picture

6. I LOVE THIS CHAP STICK!!! This is also from Brandless, and this is the BEST chap stick I have ever used. Unlike everything else, it is still $3. I have used this stuff everyday for the past few months and it has changed my life.
That's all I have for today! Sorry this post was so late. My choir, EVS, and I sang in Christmas Chapel today, so I was super busy today. Anyway, I see you guys tomorrow!

BYE!!!!

My Dream Christmas Wish List

12/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Hey guys! Today is the second day of BLOGMAS!!! WOOHOO!! Today I bring to you my dream Christmas list. This is a list of things that I have always wanted, and I am working towards getting in the future, so let’s get started!
  1. A new iPad (Pro preferably)- I have a 1st Generation iPad Air, and I would like to start saving up money to purchase a new one for myself. I have started taking notes electronically, and it would be a lot easier to take an iPad Pro instead of my laptop. Don’t get me wrong, I love my current iPad but it can’t do all of the things I would like it to do. I have started saving up for this, and I can’t wait till I can purchase
  2. Welcome to Adulting: Navigating Faith, Friendship, Finances, and the Future- This honestly wouldn’t be my Christmas list without some books. I feel like this whole concept goes without saying.
  3. The Little Book of Hyyge- This book has been on my wish-list for a good 2 or 3 years. I have listened to some of the audiobook through the app Libby, but I think this book will be more beneficial to me if I have a physical copy.
  4. It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way- I have been wanting this book for so long, and I am hoping that I get it soon
  5. Own Your Everyday- This is another book that has been on my wish-list since before it came out!! 
  6. A Never-Ending Supply of the Starbucks K-Cups in the Vanilla Flavor- Guys! I LOVE COFFEE! I discovered this coffee a few months ago. I got it from a church that was giving out boxes of Starbucks K-Cups for free! I snagged a couple, and I have LOVED the vanilla flavored coffee, especially with either Hazelnut creamer or Pumpkin Spice creamer. 
  7. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (the book)- This Netflix series is my all-time favorite thing to watch on Netflix, and I have been wanting the book for a long time. 
  8. An iPhone XS- Okay I know I know. I have also started saving up my money for this. It will take me a long time for me to get enough money to buy this.
The very last thing that I would like is some money. That way I can end up buying all of these things. I will probably get these things eventually, but I like to think about what my dream wish-list would be sometimes. I hope you guys have a great rest of your December! Let’s see how long I last on this endeavor! (That rhymed!!)

BYE!!!!
