Myers-Briggs, What Is Your Personality?

To those of you unaware, The Myers-Briggs  Type Indicator is an introspective self-report questionnaire with the purpose of indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions -Wikipedia. I had learned in a mangement class that this is a personality indicator, you can take an exam online and have the website you chose estimate through the data and questions what you are, or, you can give this to yourself (less time consuming). I personally did it with a friend who had "tested" others on what their personality is Here are the words/comparisons: Outward/ Inward Focus: Extraversion - Introversion Taking in Information: Sensing - Intuition Decision Making: Thinking - Feeling Living Your Outer Life: Judging - Perceiving Here is an easy template (must be written down) for you to choose what best fits you E                    I S                   N T                    F J                    P I

5 Tips For All New To YouTube

Image
So, technically, I am still a new YouTuber  😉  But I have learned from some research, while putting together videos and uploading them, great tips for us newbies. Let's get started: 1. ALWAYS verify your YouTube account Before posting any videos this is a must, here are the steps: a. Access  https://www.youtube.com/dashboard b. Click on Channel on the left-hand side c. Access Status & Features and select Verify next to your profile image d. You can choose text or call, text came instantly for me e. type in the six digit code, viola! You're done! 2. Custom Thumbnails are a must!  It's nice that YouTube grabs like... what... two or three images from your video to set as the thumbnail but... that's not the greatest if you want to engage someone searching your criteria. Hint: when you verify your account, you are then able to customize these. Make sure to have an image ready that you want to use for a video, but also be wise and don&#

FIRST YOUTUBE TUTORIAL!

Okay... so I finally have uploaded my first tutorial.. ever. This is pretty crazy, something that I have never thought I would gain the courage to do but here I am. I still haven't told anyone just cause I'm nervous to see hear their feedback 😅 I made this first video about how to crochet! It is something I had learned a few years ago and though it would be fun to make it one of the first videos. I am very aware there are probably thousands of "how to" crochet videos but when I start uploading patterns in that playlist, I will have a link to my own tutorial, making a bit easier. If you are interesting in checking it out, Here it is! Thank you for reading this post and PLEASE subscribe to my channel, many more videos are coming your way :)

You can choose text or call, text came instantly for me 5. type in the six digit code 6. That's it! You are now able to customize your thumbnails

First YouTube Video!

Yes... I have fallen in to YouTube now. I have recently heard about the new set of rules for YouTubers, having to put in 4000 watch hours as well as hold 1000 subscribers in order to be monetized... oh boy. I love the time I finally get comfortable to do it, this happens ðŸ˜… But I guess I can see this as a challenge, something very common in my life. I made an about me video so far, not going to lie, the quality is bad but I'm a rookie to YouTube and better yet, iMovie. I think this will be fun to see how things play out. I have the ability to make a broad spectrum of DIY and just plain vlog videos, I just gave to engage correctly and gain interested subscribers. There will be so many trial and errors, my guess anyway... but this will be fun to see the end result. I have a few personal things I want to promote on my channel and that will be one way of getting some side money.  Thank you to anyone that actually reads these ;) I do have plans to put on a hell of a lot more intriguing

Make Your Own Mandalas

I decided today, why not upload a mandala template? So, that's what I'm doing. They're so simple to draw and so relaxing if you have a lot of [unnecessary] thoughts on your mind. Let's take a look at how to do it! Needed Utensils: Paper Pencil Black ink pens, or colored gel pens( I personally love Pigma Micron:  You can get them here  & Gelly Roll  You can select from here ) Eraser I also recommend a lightbox tracer ( Here ) But you can also use a clear glass table with your flashlight on underneath. Let's get started! First thing's first, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these, therefore I like to use a circular template. I decided to make one with limited lines to make it less tormenting  😉 Mandala Template Let's move on to the first drawing step. Place your blank sheet of paper over the template and just start drawing! (I personally hate the compact size of the first few circles... these may be a fail  😂) And a
