The BLUGH: October 19, 2022

✨WHAT✨

Hello! Welcome to the first ever BLUGH. It is essentially a blog newsletter, but the idea of keeping a blog of my own personal experiences has always made me feel…BLUGH. Strangely enough, reading other people’s blogs or documented experiences always makes me feel a mixture of inspired and jealous. Weird, right? Being the self-help consumer that I am, I have read enough to know that jealousy of someone probably means that you deeply want what they have. So here I am, among the ranks of bloggers. BLUGHers. Beluga Whales (writers like me use techniques such as alliteration. Buckle up.). 

✨WHY✨

The purpose of the BLUGH is to share updates on my life, things I think are cool, and to spread positive vibes. That’s really it!

✨HOW✨

My BLUGH will have basically the same format week after week. If you plan on reading it, here are some things you can definitely expect in each newsletter:

• A quote: Gosh, I love a good quote. I will share some of my faves in the BLUGH.

• A TikTok: Seriously. I know this may seem silly but I love TikTok. With the understanding that I probably consume too much, I have learned and laughed on TikTok and definitely find at least one gem per week that I feel I must share. Consider yourself lucky I don’t force you to watch dozens with me on a daily basis (sorry, Jason!). 

• A photo: For spice!

• Something I learned over the past week: It might be profound, it might be personal, or it might be like the time I learned by reading aloud in my undergrad Honors Biology class that chitin is pronounced “KITE-in”, not “CHIT-in”.

• A book recommendation

• A product recommendation

✨WHEN✨

✨THE FIRST OFFICIAL BLUGH WILL GO OUT NEXT WEDNESDAY✨

✨YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED✨

Prepare to embark on a journey of changes. I have put this off for so long with the hopes that I would make it perfect the first go round. Well, not going to happen. I will just go with the flow and I hope you will join me!

FINALLY (you made it), I would be remiss not to acknowledge that today is my mom, Della’s, birthday. She sponsored today’s newsletter by being born so that she could give birth to me so that I could write this newsletter. Thank you, Della.
