I Got A Texxt!!!

Love Island Messy Rants, Watashi Wa Sutaa!

Hi friends,

How are ya?

I hope this post finds you smiling or in a generally happy mood. Maybe sipping on a water bottle or a splash of cheap red wine in a plastic cup ;) I’ll take indifference as well. This week was fast and slow at the same time. Coming off of a high from spending time with friends drinking and laughing on a Friday night, I have a renewed sense of, “Oh, there is life outside of my bubble!”.

Holding on to that energy, I find myself typing away this evening hoping to ride the wave out before feeling touched out or overwhelmed again.

Most mornings have involved Corain and I getting the kids up and dressed so we can drive him to work and I can have the car. The kids have been having too many donuts and I’ve been having a second (or third) coffee after 3 pm way too often lately. We’ve been hitting the parks, I’ve been calming tiny tantrums down in the heat and enjoying the sassy little personality that has been coming out of our 2-year-old daughter. By the time they go to sleep, I just want to conk out myself but I’ve been managing to stay up to make sure I don’t miss….

** INSERT LOVE ISLAND INTRO SONG HERE **

I know I know, this is not like any of my usual content, but then again I don’t have a niche, or whatever usual would be.

Of course, the latest season of Love Island USA has had me in a chokehold. I mean, THIS season is reality TV, people. The messy back and forth, the women in then out, the men in then out, the ridiculousness of having these women in bikinis at all times, the bombshells, the tears over stupid boys, the saliva swapping, the drama, the sexual tension, the emotions, the lying, the he-said she-said’s. It’s so bad that it’s wonderful. I have been immersed in these people’s worlds and have thrown socks at the T.V. every time Kaylor starts crying over fish-mouth Aaron.

I’m not going to spend the entirety of this post writing about Love Island, because it’s nowhere near as fun as chatting about it in person, but here are my thoughts so far, or at least after finishing Episode 26. Feel free to skip past if you are not *ahem* aware of what is going on, what LIUSA even is, or simply don’t watch it.

I have no cares to give my thoughts in order, so HELLOOO HARRISON. WOW. Baby, that all black fit with the hair and the eyes?? GOOD LORDT.

I cannot stand Kaylor and Aaron and I’ll be damned if they win. They won’t. Just no. I do not like Kaylor. I do not trust her. She gives exactly what Leah said which was “white woman, scared”. She’s annoying and wishy washy and gives me a fake girls girl vibe. I think Aaron is a loser and did her dirty up and down, so I’m on her side before I’m on his but they both can actually can go to hell.

Kendall is a snitch bitch and man, I was on his team in the beginning. I trust Kendall less than I trust Aaron, Kaylor and Miguel combined. He’s disrespectful and two-faced.

With that said, Kendall, we can see the gameplay, we’re not dumb. You’re manipulative and sneaky. You and Nicole will not win. Bye.

Serena is the baddest bitch. The middle finger to Kordell when he came back from Casa was iconic, and smushing him with the food/peace offering was also appropriate. True Virgo energy and I love it.

With that being said. Serena and Kordell are the couple to beat. They must win. Period. He made mistakes, yes, and I was so angry about it, but I actually think he is a sweet guy, feels remorse for his actions and has wanted to be with Serena from the beginning. Also, Daia was laying the pick me energy on pretty thick. Serena and Kordell’s friendship has grown, their bond tested, and it’s all been put out on the line. I really have enjoyed how far they have both come.

Miguel. Fuckboy.

Leah. LOL. I actually like Leah a lot, even though I was calling her a pathetic lying fool during the whole Rob-Andrea situation, she’s grown on me. She definitely twisted words around to work in her favour which is super shady but idk, I feel like we’ve all done that at some point in our lives, just not on television. Also, as embarrassing as it was to watch her talk shit about Rob on movie night. I can relate, because I would talk about someone who made me feel like shit in the same way too. Aka, calling them a little bitch and whatnot - LOLLL, I’m just being honest. If I just got dissed, and now I’m with my girls, I’m feeling vulnerable? I’m either crying or talking shit. That’s just my love language…and my stress language.

Jana. My fav. Hands down fav. As a fellow Saggittarian, am I bias? Yes. The way Jana moves, I relate to her, so I’m instantly drawn to her. She is super smart, multi-lingual, always observing, aware of everything but only speaking when the time is right. She is aware of all of the drama, but one thing she isn’t is a part of it. She is so funny and drop dead gorgeous, I mean. No one has come in the villa that is deserving of Jana, IMHO.

Kenny is a sweetie, but he doesn’t know what to do with that so, meh. That won’t go on for too long. Also, Kenny lost me completely when he wore that sweater with patches on the elbows, bye.

Liv wasn’t attracted to any single person that arrived in the villa. She called shit out though, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Caine. Liv had it right. Horse teeth. Bye.

Is there anyone else? Oh yeah, Rob. Aaron’s actual love connection. Sigh. I did think it was grimey when he lost Andrea, but Rob is a punk for not leaving with her. He should have just stuck to what he said he was going to do and left. Instead, he stayed around so he could keep making out with new girls, wearing those stinky overalls and cuddling with Aaron.

Daniela….You made it to Casa at the cost of your dignity. I guess, enjoy yourself til this is all over.

RIP to all the casa boys who came to the villa and all got sent right back lol. The girls were shafted with this selection compared to the casa girls imo.

*Not that I need to say this, but all of this is to be taken with a grain of salt. I’m just having fun and know nothing about these individuals. I wish them all well. (Okay not Aaron or Kendall) JKJK. Are you watching? Let’s discuss, please.

Anyway. Apart from terrible dating reality tv, I have been watching DIY Gel-X nail Tik-Tok’s and YouTube videos and yep, I am joining the masses who are sick of paying $80+ for a refill with a design.

As much as I enjoy my nail lady, our last appointment left me thinking that she truly believes that I will just pay whatever price she tells me, plus I’m a good tipper! Well, she isn’t wrong, because I have been paying but now that I’ve taken notice of the inconsistency in pricing between appointments, BYE GIRL, I’ll do it my damn self!

I’m slowly building my arsenal of equipment, so stay tuned for an update. Knowing me and the attention to detail I will be paying, I just know they will be FABULOUS.

I already have this set saved as inspo and it’s so advanced in terms of skill set to achieve this, but I just have that much confidence that I can eventually get there. Key word is eventually lol, because I’m pretty boring most of the time and just do one solid color.

Do we have any DIY’ers here? What have you taught yourself to do that you can never see yourself paying for again?

When it comes to what song is keeping me up at night, it has to be ‘Mamushi’ by Megan Thee Stallion x Yuki Chiba. Is everyone else replaying in their head?, along with the dance!?, because same, and now I have Hudson singing “STAR! STAR! STAR! STAR!”, in the backseat too.

Welp. I’m off to continue entertaining my kids, as I’ve hidden long enough in the bedroom with my laptop and my neck is starting to hurt.

Thanks for coming by. I’m looking forward to chatting down below.
