Hello everyone! Welcome to BirthMay 2020! Today I’m doing a Tag Me Tuesday!

---

I haven’t done a tag in so long, I’ve missed them! This is the Awesome Blogger Award, tagged by Chana of justmyselfa!

In case you’re new, BirthMay is my annual birthday celebration where I blog every day for the month of May. This is the fourth annual BirthMay and no matter how many BirthMays you’ve been here for, thank you for your support!

Awesome Blogger Award

The Questions

• What is your favourite pastime?
  In the Q it’s currently yoga! I don’t do a ton of yoga but I do look forward to it every day.
• What made you want to start writing on WordPress?
  I had wanted a blog for years actually! I’d put it off when I was in undergrad because I wasn’t sure I’d keep up with it or enjoy it but after I graduated and had a job, I found myself getting super bored at work and needed a creative outlet. So I started a blog! I researched a few options and thought WordPress sounded like the best option, which I do think it was!
• What are some of your favourites this month (product, technology, book, music etc)
  I’ve really been enjoying baking recently, as well as playing Skyrim on PS3, watching The Morning Toast on YouTube, and trying to enjoy my patio at home as much as possible.
• If you could go back 10 years what would you tell your past self?
  Get better money management skills early! There’s not much I regret except maybe being so spendy and not enough save-y haha!
• How are you feeling during these trying times with COVID-19?
  Thanks for asking! I’m doing well honestly. Sure, the constant COVID-19 news is a little stressful and it’s super weird wearing masks out when grocery shopping but overall I’m not really inconvenienced by what’s going on. I’m super lucky that way! But for the most part I tend to stay home a ton anyway, so I don’t think I’m really doing things super differently except saving a ton of money from not going on constant Target trips!
• Who is one person you look up to in your life?
  Right now I’m really looking up to one of my aunts. She’s caring for my grandfather, her father, and living with him even though she misses her home in Mexico City. Since they’re both in Mexico there’s really no way to see her but I do try to text her every now and again since I know it can’t be easy to be the sole caretaker and it’s so awesome that she’s doing that.
• Are you a coffee or tea drinker?
  I do love tea but I’m mostly a coffee drinker!
• What do you see your self doing in the next 10 years – career wise and personally?
  Career wise I’m not entirely sure! I was furloughed due to the COVID-19 so I’m currently job hunting. I hope that I have a good job, maybe even in event planning still, in ten years as well as having a side business for myself. Personally, I would hope to have a home and travel a lot more, as well as hopefully having a fur baby!
• What is your favourite animal?
  I adore beluga whales! I find them so beautiful and they’re super smart!
• How do you deal with challenges or stress in your life?
  Honestly, usually not well! I do tend to get really stressed and find it hard to relax. I tend to lose a ton of sleep too but lately I’ve been getting much better at moving forward and carrying on!

My Questions

I’m leaving this tag open so that anyone who wants to participate can do so! I know lots of people have preferences if they do tags or not so I’d rather let everyone decide on their own.

For my questions, the first one is always one that I pick to pass on from the questions I answered, and the rest are ones I came up with!

• How are you feeling during these trying times with COVID-19?
• What’s the last thing that really made you laugh?
• Have you picked up a new hobby or obsession during the Q?
• What is a book (or tv show or movie) that is next up for you to read (or watch)?
• What is the most used app on your phone?
• When is the last time you thanked someone?
• What is your favorite season?
• What are you most looking forward to after the Q?
• What is your favorite dessert?
• Which BirthMay post of mine is your favorite so far? 😀
