I am obsessed with Aesthetic Tik Toks

My 9-year-old daughter introduced me to the world of Aesthetic Tik Toks and now....



For those of you who are looking at the screen like I'm speaking gibberish log into your Tik Tok account or your kid's your niece's or nephew's and look it up! If you are anything like me, you won't regret it. An Aesthetic Tik Tok can only be explained by the way it makes you feel while watching.  Words will not suffice. You must see it to understand it. 

 The first time I watched I was glued to the screen for 45 minutes straight with my lips slightly parted and one eye half closed. I was watching what people do before bed, listening to the sound of dog food being poured into metal bowls, and comparing as different women shared their ideas for getting rid of strawberry legs using beautiful clips of their shower shaving products and processes. The only thing I could say after is, what was that? 

These Tik Toks are so satisfying. Before I started writing this today, I watched a woman pour water from a beautiful pitcher into a perfectly iced glass. I bit my lip as the camera zoomed in on the splash as she dropped her metal straw into the drink. She then lifted the simple beverage to take a sip, and I couldn't help but notice her beautifully manicured nails and well-oiled fingers.  

I am obsessed! Writing in a quiet house with no distractions, flavorful meals, good sex, and aesthetic Tic Toks... heaven on earth for me! 

How could something so simple be so entertaining? I don't know but it has me wanting to try it for myself. With the encouragement of my daughter, I'm going to start creating aesthetic Tik Tok videos. Tik Tok brings so much joy and entertainment to people and it looks like so much fun!  I am an artist and full-time writer now; I love creating positive things for the world, it's only fitting that I do this right?

I haven't tried anything new in a while. My biggest concern has been how people would receive me after a couple of failed attempts at being great. As much as I say I don't care and I'm good after something I start dies, I CARE! Failing hurts, and sometimes it takes a while to get back up after the wind has been knocked out of you like that. It has taken me a while to want to show up, and this little thing has me fired up and wanting to get back out into the world of entrepreneurship and creating. 

A women's empowerment coach I follow, posted a video of her building her business as a voice over said something like, "If you want to make your own videos for You Tube, do it, if you want to dance on Tik Tok, do it.  If you want to post a thirst trap, or send your crush that dm, do it. Let them think your cringe!  Wouldn't it be better to let a few people from your hometown possibly cringe, than to get to the end of your life with boxes and bags of regrets because you didn't go after your dream. What if it works this time? What if you're as funny as you think, or as talented as your friend said? What if your dances go viral? What if your crush has a crush on you too? What if it all works out. How will you know if you allow fear to keep you from trying?"

That was the push I needed!  

My daughter has been begging me to update our space, and she loves the idea of recording us redecorating. That will be our niche for now, creating Aesthetic Tik Toks out of us updating our space, changing bedding wall art and rugs. After that's all finished maybe we'll do some of our daily routines, and self-care rituals, because why not? 

I am going to write a few more blog posts and have them available to read on my website before I start to really go hard creating Tik Toks. I'm manifesting great things right now, so I know it's going to drive tons of traffic to my blog, I want to make sure when visitors get there, they have plenty read. When I finish writing we are going batch create some videos this weekend to be dripped for the next couple of weeks. 

I'm kind of excited! Check me out next couple of weeks @PhilenaLiving on Tik Tok! Let me know what you think.

Are you obsessed with anything right now? Tell me about it in the comments or find me on my new Ig page and join the conversation over there @philenam. 

As usual Thanks For reading. See you back here same time tomorrow!

The kids are headed back to school, but there's a HUGE problem

School starts next week, and I have concerns.   I just read that our school district is down 1800 teachers. I don't know what my kids will be learning this year or who will be teaching them and I'm nervous. I've spoken with a few teachers and administrator friends I have who work for the district and they're confident things will be alright, but they are always hopeful after a good long summer break. I on the other hand am not so optimistic.  Last year my daughter had two teachers pack up mid-day and leave never to return again. My son had a substitute for math the entire year. Last year the district was down 781 teachers, this year's number is more than double that! I don't know what they have planned, or if they even have a plan!  I was considering home school, it worked really well for us during covid, but I'mma just be honest, I don't really want to do it! I know how important my kid's education is and I don't have the time needed to ensure t...

I'm here I didn't quit!

 It's day two of my consistency challenge and I'm already feeling the heat. I got a late start on my day. I usually wake up around 5am and read, I make sure the kids are up and getting ready around 6, We leave at 7:15 and I'm back home cleaning getting ready for my morning workout by 8. By10 I am full of green juice and green water and ready to start work creating word art! Today I woke up at 6:40am the kids were still asleep and didn't want to get up. We didn't leave until 7:45. After I dropped them off, I went to pick up our grocery order and what usually takes me five -ten minutes max took more than thirty minutes because everyone called off today. There was literally one woman bringing out all of the orders and at least ten cars waiting. I was cool, didn't Black Karen out, life is good, I had all the patience for waiting and even more gratitude that I didn't have to go in and do it myself. I took the time to do the reading I didn't do earlier. By the...

Unpacking: How I'm doing these days

 Hey! I woke up ready to talk, I hope you're ready.  I came up during the pandemic.  It felt like divine intervention. We were broke. Dead broke and struggling. We were living check to check off one income. Our budget was tight, but we were making it until some ass hole stole my husband's debit card information and went on a shopping spree somewhere in Kansas with our rent money!  It was like the smoking volcano finally erupted. Our landlord was an even bigger ass hole than the one who stole our money, of course and wouldn't give us an extension on our rent while we sorted things out with the bank.  Now to add insult to injury we were facing eviction.  I thought I was going to break. It was like a never-ending cycle, but a voice inside me (I now know that voice to be my intuition/ the God in me, but we'll talk about that another day) said just wait and watch. Find an apartment move and watch.  We didn't have many choices, so I did what I felt and when ...
