INFJ Ramblings

Hello. I just want to do a quick blog post about my personal experience of being an INFJ. As an INFJ, I always feel alone. Loneliness is something I have struggled with for quite a while. I desperately want to connect with others. But I feel that I cannot because I am too much of a weirdo. And most of the people that I have gravitated towards were so toxic, which made me feel even worse about myself than I already did. I am afraid that I can never attract good people to me. That's why I really don't have any friends. I don't know how to find good people. I don't know how to find people who are in it for the long haul. I can't find people who actually give a shit about how I feel. Is that too much to ask for? I just feel like no one in my life really cares. They are too wrapped up in their own inner lives to care. And I don't want to talk to a thera

Good Boys Review

So, I saw Good Boys over the weekend. Needless to say, it was terrible…terribly hilarious! As many have assumed, it is somewhat a preteen version of Superbad. However, the film does have its own identity apart from that film. Yes, spoilers ahead.

One thing you really have to appreciate the movie for is just how daring it is. Not just in its concept, but also in its execution. It is balls-out (no pun intended) funny. It’s just these very endearing scenes like when the boys discover pornography for the first time, when they first discover sex toys then proceed to use them as weapons against this questionable gentleman to barter for drug money or when they explore a frat house for the first time. In your mind, you may be thinking “Why in the hell are they doing this crazy shit? Where are their parents? They need their asses whooped!” And I am inclined to agree with you on all of those counts. But, just for a second, think back to when you were their age and you were getting into shit you knew you had no business doing. Come on, we have all been there. But behind all of the wacky and inappropriate hijinks, there is something deeper. The whole film is about the boys discovering their identities. Not sexual identities, because that’s just nasty. But in discovering who they are, both with and without each other. Each of the boys have their own arc going on. Max, the leader of the Beanbag Boys (awww), absolutely, honestly must make it to this cool kids’ party…so he can kiss his longtime crush. Lucas is dealing with his parents’ divorce. Thor wants to audition for the school play, but backs out at the last minute, much to his friends’ disappointment might I add, because he is insecure about his masculine identity.

You may find yourself very engrossed in each of the boys’ individual arcs because their stories are so, so relatable. I am positive 95% of the audience have dealt with at least one of the issues above. I know I have. These organic, quirky, down-to-earth, relatable preteen characters and the chemistry and bond they share with one another, is what really sells the film. And the child actors were so good in this. I am not going to single out any one particular actor, because 1) that is slightly unfair considering they are all children and 2) they were all excellent in their own right. There were many scenes involving just the three of them that made me and the audience highly uncomfortable yet they managed to sell those scenes and portray those them so realistically and heartwarmingly, even the squickier scenes. To be honest with you, this film is probably the closest we will ever get to a live-action Ed, Edd and Eddy film. I don’t know if any of you are familiar with this show, but that was a show about three knucklehead suburban preteens just getting into random, outlandish shit every day. Which is basically what this film is, just way, way more adult.

Now, I will not spoil the end of the film, but I will say it is quite bittersweet, which is surprising for a film like this. I will say this much: the boys do eventually go off and do their own thing, but they always find their way back to each other. ‘Cause they are the Beanbag Boys for life. Anyway, if you want to see a raunchy, weird comedy starring adorable preteens who are surprisingly relatable and organic characters with engaging character arcs and wonderful comedic and emotional chemistry, then buy a ticket. If that’s not your thing, then skip it.

70s Style for Body Types Part I

Hey, y'all. Bet you didn't expect to see another post so soon. Well, no worries. I have awakened from my hibernation and am back in business since the school year has begun. Tonight, I will be discussing how to achieve 1970s in the form of blouses. I want to focus on 70s style since that is a decade that I really admire, especially the music and fashion. I think I might have been born in the wrong decade.

So there are three main types of blouses that were very popular in this decade: high-neck blouses, peasant blouses and babydoll blouses. Let's first discuss on high neck blouses.

If you generally have a tall, thin body type, the high neck blouse would be best suited for you. High neck blouses are loose fitting with little to no waist definition, which is why it is perfect for the tall, thin body type. Tall, willowy or tall, athletic figures do not need waist definition since their body types lack curves. The high neck blouses complement the height of your frames.

If you are slender or athletic and petite to average height, I recommend off-shoulder tops. The off-shoulder detail will show off your slim shoulders.

If you are petite to average height with a more voluptuous, or even slightly voluptuous figure, go for peasant blouses. Specifically, cropped peasant blouses. Cropped styles will complement your petite figure. The folding and draping of the peasant styles will highlight your curves.

A Tale of 2 Spidermen



Hey guys. After an unnecessarily long hiatus, I am back. This post will be fairly short since I am sleepy. To be blunt, I think Disney and Sony are being childish about this deal. From the beginning, they should have split the live action and animation rights. Let Disney keep the rights to make anything live action related and let Sony keep the rights to make anything to make cartoons and video games. Look, Into the Spiderverse (it is the best Spiderman film ever made) and the PS4 game both got universal acclaim. And that's not even getting into the success of Spectacular Spiderman (RIP) and the 90s animated series. Obviously, Sony knows what they are doing as far as animation. Keeping the animation rights will allow Sony to do their own "cinematic universe". I see no reason why Disney cannot keep the live action rights solely as everyone loves the MCU flicks and Tom Holland. So there you go. Disney, Sony, stop being children and work something out. It is possible for both of you to have a cinematic universe starring Spidey.

Kibbe Nails


After a pretty long hiatus, I am officially back. Yay! Today I want to talk nail beauty for all of the Kibbe types. So, as we know, there are three basic nail shapes: oval, squoval and square nails. This post is designed to match you with your Kibbe type. 

Romantic, Soft Gamine, Soft Classic, Soft Dramatic:

These are some of the most Yin types, so very short nails would be most appropriate. 


Theatrical Romantic, Classic, Gamine, Soft Natural, Natural, Flamboyant Gamine:

Since this nail shape is a little bolder than the previous nail shapes, this nail shape would befit anyone who has a little more Yang in their appearances. 


Flamboyant Natural, Dramatic Classic, Dramatic:

Square nails command attention, so it is only natural that this nail shape would be reserved for the most Yang types. 

I am sorry that this a relatively short post. I promise I will upload more content in the future.

Swimsuit Looks

Hello, hello, hello. I have some great news. I got a job as an entry-level event planner. Yay me! On another note, I apologize for not updating the blog at all last week as I was so busy with interviews. But better late than never. Here is my official fourth post

If you are a DRAMATIC or NATURAL, your swimsuit should be very provocative and modern-looking. Think monokinis and string bikini tops and bottoms. Since you have a decidedly athletic frame, fortunately you can show more skin. If you are uncomfortable with string bikini bottoms (they can be as uncomfortable as a thong), boy shorts are another option.

If you are a GAMINE, your swimsuit should hip and trendy. There is not much to say on this front since bandeau tops and swimsuits are already seen as trendy.

If you are a ROMANTIC, ETHEREAL or INGENUE, look for a swimsuit that is very retro-looking. ROMANTIC, ETHEREAL and INGENUE are YIN which means "drawing back". Therefore, your look should echo the looks of times past.

Note: Whatever your style identity is, if you are medium to large-chested, however, please invest in some good underwire bikini tops!
