My April 2016 In A Nutshell

Hey! Here's my monthly nutshell for you all to read! So I hope you enjoy!


April 1st, 2016: Did usual errands (groceries, walmart, etc.) and even got Starbucks, too! I even made dinner on this night as well.

April 2nd, 2016: Filmed a video for my YouTube channel; read my new book my sister got me "Fresh Start" and even watched James Bond 007 "Spectre" too.

April 3rd, 2016: Did usual chores and my mom watched a movie rental called "Creed" (she liked it by the way if you want a good movie rec). Enjoyed watching the ACM's with my mom too. Also talked to my sister on FB Messenger app on that day and made a new YouTube channel banner.

April 4th, 2016: Went to do a grocery run and I made conversation with the person that was bagging our groceries about One Direction! It was awesome (I had a 1D bag my sister got me for my birthday last year- that's how the whole conversation started). Also, made a variation of the Spicy Shrimp Toast from Daphne Oz's book Relish (which was yummy by the way!).

April 5th, 2016: Made my mom some delicious strawberry bread; did yoga before bed and discovered I'm a pretty flexible person (it's always good to discover something new about yourself you didn't know before).

April 6th, 2016: Took my lovely dog Hyatt out for a trail walk today; we do another grocery store run and got Starbucks too.

April 7th, 2016: Did another daily walk with Hyatt today; treated myself to a nice hot bath and Netflix (Supernatural, anyone?) Read my "Eat Pray Love" book too and began getting back to writing a new story series (I came up with the idea back on my birthday of last year).

April 8th, 2016: Daily trail walk with Hyatt! Also, proceeded to burn myself while getting my mom's waffle out of the waffle iron (it hurt really bad!).

April 11th, 2016: Hyatt's daily trail walk! Made chef salads for dinner tonight and did film a new video for my YouTube channel.

April 12th, 2016: The video I filmed yesterday? Dummy mistake. I ended up deleting part of the footage I needed for it and I had to scrap the whole video and made a new one from scratch and even tried using my new editing software. That didn't work either and I went ahead later and re-filmed it. Did film another video (but I wasn't happy with that one either so I deleted it). Hyatt's daily trail walk! Discovered new podcasts I hadn't listened to yet (Joyce Meyer and Psycho Babble- Tyler Oakley & Korey Kuhl's podcast- both were great!).

April 21st, 2016: Did the normal trail walk with my doggy, Hyatt (did 12.5 miles! A lot I know but so worth it!); went and talked to my step-grandma over at her house while munching and drinking Starbucks!
