I've been using the same filter for over a year, ever since I came out about losing my job and refocusing my blog. There are a lot of reasons I love it (it always makes me think of stained glass windows, don't ask me why lmao), but I keep coming back to the idea of doing something different with it. Something new. I made these filters over the weekend, I like them a lot but wanted to see what you guys think: 1, 2, or 3?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you use a consistent filter? Or do you like mixing it up?

I'm always looking for inspiration when it comes to my build projects, and this week's project comes from a couple of different builds I found recently. It has to be one of the most time-intensive and finicky builds I've ever done, with about 8 hours going into the bedroom ceiling by itself, and if I ever try to take it down then I need y'all to slap some sense into me!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Check out the link in my bio to see my True Blue Beach House design, inspired by the blue mage in FFXIV and a couple of different builds from @ourashenbride, easily one of my favourite designers!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Monday! How was your weekend?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So some of you know this already, but my day job is in marketing and involves a lot of social media, so I know random things like this Thursday is World Productivity Day. And that means that last week I spent kind of a long time reading up on the difference between being busy and being productive, and it gave me a lot of food for thought.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was a good thing, because I've been kind of feeling like I'm always busy without actually getting anything done, and that stresses me out. My biggest struggle is having time for everything I have going on, and still finding time to play all my games! Especially with the Shadowbringers expansion coming up for FFXIV, and the campaign they currently have going on that involves a hilarious item of my favourite beast tribe, the Namazu. So over the weekend I was finally able to do some things I've been meaning to for a while, while still having lots of time to play, and I feel good about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TL;DR: I been getting shit did and it feels good⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just a throwback to one of my favourite posts, I was so happy to use these happy sunflowers for a quick shoot! I don't use them often in decor because I like to lean toward neutrals, but late summer and fall colours always make me so happy. Actually just fall in general makes me happy 🍂🍂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What colours do you like using? Do you have a favourite season?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

After I posted my video about the new loft glitch in Final Fantasy XIV, I got a request for how I floated the windows in the middle of the room. I'm a little disappointed that it's taken me so long to get the video together, but here it is! The link's in my bio 😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd never really done video editing before I started my YouTube channel, and I wasn't sure I'd like it, just because it seemed super finicky and precise. But it's surprisingly fun, even if it does take forever! I'm sure it'll get faster as I get more practice 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is there something you started doing content-wise that you weren't sure you'd like, but you ended up loving?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Monday 🙌 how was everyone's weekends? I was super inactive all weekend, I have bursts where I just need to play a game and ignore the real world for a little bit and that's kind of what happened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We recently picked up Final Fantasy X/X-2 for the Switch, I'm so excited to try it! There've been a few cross-over things in my forever obsession, FFXIV, and they've just made me want to play it even more, even though I know it will just break my heart like all Final Fantasy games 💔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm also excited to see what we learn about the FFVII remake this week, I've been hearing bits and pieces (including a Tifa theory on Reddit) but nothing concrete yet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you a Final Fantasy fan? What are you hoping to hear about at E3?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
