When I say I've been planning my latest video for over a year, I mean it. I've been eyeing zip-tie crown DIYs on Pinterest for a while, and when I saw a celestial-themed cape in Target's 2020 Halloween drop, I was so excited I even preordered it. (I'm the type of girl who loves Halloween/fall... Continue Reading →
What I Made in April // Photo Journal Challenge
I gave myself a new journaling challenge in April: take a weekly photo. If you scrolled through my iPhone camera roll, you'd find some days where I have a hundred photos. Mostly of my cat (because he's cute ALL the time) or a mini selfie shoot because I was feeling cute (which happens SOME of... Continue Reading →
April 2021 Journal Prompts
In my mind, April is the start of spring. It's a time of blooming flowers, warmer days, and a feeling of rebirth. (It's also coincidentally my birthday month!) So I fashioned this month's prompts with that sense of renewal in mind. I think I went a little heavy with some of the prompts the past... Continue Reading →
March 2021 Journal Prompts
March (for me, at least) marks one year of everything in my life (and the USA) being upended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's been a *YEAR*, and yet it also somehow doesn't seem like a year could have possibly passed! And because of that feeling, when I started compiling March's journal prompts, I found...

Painting a Christmas Unicorn Ornament 🎨🎄🦄
It’s one of the best times of the year for crafting! (At least in my opinion). So in my latest YouTube video I paint some cute ornaments including a Christmas-themed unicorn, a cozy sweater-wearing cat, and a classic Christmas truck! https://youtu.be/TyEtCP8B8J0 This video was extra fun to make because 1.) crafting and 2.) silly voiceover!...

Creative Journaling Resources
I started journaling as an adult in 2011, during one of my peaks (or should I say pits?) of depression. I had a little journal with beautiful hand-pressed pages that I felt like NEEDED to be written in. So why not start just writing? It's now been 9 years of journaling, and boy, have I...

A New Website and Christmas Break!
Hello my friends! I just wanted to write a quick update to let you know that you might be seeing a little less of me on the blog in December. One of my 2017 goals has been to finally turn this blog (Imagining Happenings) into a full-fledged website that curates all my content (videos, writing,... Continue Reading →
Painting with Cats
It’s kind of like “Running with Wolves” or “Swimming with Dolphins” but much less majestic and a lot more messy. So one of the things that’s been on my “Bucket List” is going to a cat cafe. I always figured I’d have to go to New York City or a more trendy, metropolitan area in... Continue Reading →
My Life: One Year Later
This time last year I opened Gmail to find a truly mind blowing arrival. An email from the YouTube staff letting me know that I had been chosen for YouTube NextUp NY’s inaugural class. The email was sent on March 31st, and it basically had to say “This isn’t an early April Fool’s joke! You... Continue Reading →
