My workout routine and why did I started working out?

                                        My workout routine and why did I started working out? By: Brandee Darden. Friday, March 25th, 2022! 

Intro to my blog! 

Hello, my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl, Brandee here with another blog episode! Yes, I changed my name of my fandom. I am not going to go into depth about why I changed my name of my fandom because I am saving it for another blog episode which is for next month's blog episode so stay tuned! How's everyone doing today? I hope everyone is doing well and amazing and if not, that's okay because you are going to get through whatever you are going through. Everyone is strong and amazing! Never forget that! I love y'all! Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday! On Wednesday's blog episode, I talked about my future book! Just thinking about my future book makes me really excited! I can't wait to start working on my future book in the future and I can't wait for everyone to read it! I'm excited! On today's blog episode, I will be talking about my workout routine and why did I started working out? Not only I would be talking about that, I will also be talking about since I started working out, what of drinks don't I drink? Why don't I drink those type of drinks? What is my workout routine? Why do I do those type of workouts? What is my main reason why I started working out? If I have any advice about working out or eating and drinking healthier, what is my advice? Why would I give that advice? Who is ready for a new blog episode? I know that I am! Let's get started with a new blog! Shall we? We shall!! 

Talking about my struggle with weight loss! Why was it a struggle for me to loose weight? 

Growing up and going through school, I have always struggled with my weight! At school, people would talk behind my back and calling me "fat". It was very hurtful. I had a hard time loosing weight and it was hard on me. The kids at school were so mean and it was so horrible. I didn't like that at all. Why was it a struggle for me to loose weight? The reason why it was a struggle for me to loose weight is because I would eat a lot at dinner and at dinner, I would eat at least 2 plates but I don't do it anymore. I will do it on an occasion but other than that, I don't do that anymore and I am very proud of myself. I would also drink sodas as well before my weight lost journey. I would drink nothing but sodas but not anymore. When I go to restaurants, I would drink sodas but I would drink water and I am very proud of myself for that. People can be so mean when it comes to bullying especially when it comes to someone's weight. It is not nice to pick on someone who is struggling with their weight and it was hard for me to loose weight but now, I am loosing weight and I am very proud of myself!!

Since I started working out, what kind of drinks don't I drink? Why don't I drink those type of drinks?

Since I started working out, what kind of drinks don't I drink? The drinks that I don't drink is soda! Another drink that I don't drink that much but maybe one or two glasses is kool aid. I drink maybe one or two glasses of kool aid every once awhile or if we don't have water. I rather drink water than kool aid because I am a water type of a girl now and I love water with those powder packets to make the water taste good. Why don't I drink those type of drinks? The reason why I don't drink those type of drinks is because I remember one time, my dad snitched on me for drinking soda and my older sister, Brandy got onto me and since then, I don't drink sodas anymore only if I go to a fast food restaurant or an actual restaurant but when I go to an actual restaurant, I get water as well. These days, I prefer water over anything! The second and final reason why I only drink one or two glasses of kool aid is because I don't mind kool aid every once a while but drinking it every single day can be so annoying at times; so, that is why I cut down on the kool aid and I don't care to make it at times. I rather water than kool aid. I think water is better than kool aid. That is my own opinion. 

What is my workout routine? Why do I do those type of workouts?

My workout routine is I do these workout dances where you can dance to them and you follow them while doing it. I do cardio dance workouts and I also do workouts for my arms and my legs as well. I absolutely love these dance workouts because there is Kpop dance workouts which I love so much! I'm that type of a girl who loves Kpop music and there isn't a better way to workout to a Kpop workout dance video. I love doing those videos a lot! They are so fun but also intense as well, They are so worth doing though!! Why do I do those type of workouts? The reason why I do those type of workouts is because to get muscle in my arms and to loose weight as well. I want to loose weight in my arms and my stomach as well. I love doing the cardio dance workouts and I love working out my arms! To me, they are really fun and I enjoy doing them a lot! I'm not going to lie though, I have been slacking off a lot and I feel bad for slacking off but I am going to get back into them. I did it yesterday and it was good! I am going to continue to do it today and pretty much everyday! I love staying in shape because it is worth staying in shape and I want to be to breathe and not loose my breathe every few minutes!! 

What is my main reason why I started working out?

The main reason why I started working out is because I was tired of being big! I was tired of loosing breath and being out of shape. It was hard for me and I was unhappy!! I wasn't eating enough of fruits and vegetables. I had to change the way I eat and not only that, I also had to change the way I think because if I had a negative mindset, then I am going to think negative all the time and I can't think negative like that. I also had to cut the people who were giving me negative vibes as well and now, it less stressful. I also cut out sodas which is nice because I don't care about sodas anymore. Sodas are bad for you! It's okay to have sodas every once a while but other than that, sodas are not good for you and I am so glad that I cut sodas out of my life. I don't care to drink sodas anymore!! 

If I have any advice about working out or eating and drinking healthier, what is my advice? Why would I give that advice?

If I have any advice about working out or eating and drinking healthier, what is my advice? My advice is find a workout that fits you personally. Find something that you can handle and that isn't too hard. If you get discouraged about working out, don't get discouraged. It's okay! Just take it a day at a time because you can do it! Never give up! It is going to be hard at first, but don't give up! My advice about eating and drinking healthier is if you are lacking fruits and vegetables, add some fruits and vegetables to your diet! Another advice that I would like to give out for eating and drinking healthier is proportion how much you eat? You want to proportion how much you eat because you don't want to eat a lot. Just be careful how much you eat! Why would I give that advice? The reason why I give that advice is because I want what is best for my Blogger Dreamers. It is okay to have a cheat day every once a while because it is a cheat day! Don't over exercise a lot. Don't make yourself tired and always stay hydrated while working out as well because you don't want to be dehydrated!  That's not good for you! Always stay hydrated and always drink water while you are working out! Water is good for you! 

In conclusion/ Tip of the day/ Question of the day?

In conclusion, don't workout yourself way too hard because if you do that, you might pull a muscle and that won't be good. Don't give up on your diet or your workout! Never give up! I know it might be hard at first, but I know that you can do it! Don't quit! You got this! I believe in you 300%. Just take it a day at a time! Never give up! Once you get into a routine of working out, you will be okay and you are going to do great! Here is my tip and question of the day?!  My tip of the day is never ever give up on your workout routine because if you give up on your routine just like that, then you are not going to find a workout routine that would fit you perfectly! Everyone has a workout routine that won't fit everyone perfectly. Don't give up! My question of the day for my Blogger Dreamers is if any of y'all have a workout routine, what kind of workouts do y'all do? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know what kind of workouts do y'all do? I would love to read y'all's comments and if y'all have suggestions for me on what kind of workouts I should do, please let me know! Please! Thank you so much! 

Alright, my Blogger Dreamers! Y'all have reached the end of my blog post for today! I hope everyone enjoyed this blog episode for today! If you don't enjoy working out, that's okay! Not everyone doesn't enjoy working out! You can also go on walks as well. You don't have to workout! Walks are very nice and very relaxing! I love walks as well! I hope everyone have an amazing weekend ahead! I hope everyone stays safe and makes good choices! Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday! The new slogan for my blogging pages is "Dream Big! Don't give on your dreams"!! Always dream big and never give up on your dreams because some day, you will achieve your dreams! I believe in that! I will see y'all on my next blog! I love y'all and please stay safe! Your blogger queen is out! Peace! 💜💜

"Weight loss is not impossible.
Weight loss is hard,
but hard is not 
the same as impossible."
-Unknown. I love this quote because yes, weight loss is hard but it's not impossible if you believe that it is impossible. Loosing weight might be hard but it's not impossible if you believe that it is impossible to do. Always believe that you can do it and it is going to be hard but you can do it! 

I love this woman a lot! She goes by MadFit on YouTube and I love here videos a lot. If you were born in the 90's or you used to listen to these songs in the 90's, this workout is perfect for you! I love this workout a lot. 

Hello, my Blogger Dreamers! The song of the week is "Stay Alive" by Jeon Jungkook produced by Min Yoongi. The song itself is so amazing and so soothing. Jungkook's voice is so good and so amazing. I love this song so much! 

My future book! By: Brandee Darden.

                                      My future book! By: Brandee Darden. Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022! 

Intro to my blog!

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies! It's your blogger queen, Brandee here back with another blog episode! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is doing well and okay. If not, that's okay! Everything will be okay! If you are  in school or college and it is exam week for you, my best advice for you is good luck on your exam! You got this! I believe in you 210%. Y'all got this! If you are having a hard week rather it is at work or home or even at school, just know that you are absolutely amazing and everything will be okay! Just pray about it! On Monday's blog, I talked about mental health and how it can take a toll a person? Mental health is not good for a person at all. Even though I haven't been diagnosed with any type of mental illness, but I know that I am struggling mentally to get through each day. I am not afraid to admit it but I am afraid to tell people that I am struggling and that I need help! If you are struggling with mental health and you don't tell anyone, chances are you might need help and you are just afraid to tell anyone about it. Don't be afraid to tell anyone about your struggle with your mental health. Tell them that you need help and they might help you comforting words and help you with your mental health journey. You are never alone on this journey! You have people here for you and supporting you no matter what! I am one of those people who will support you and love you no matter what! On today's blog episode, I will be talking about my future book! Yes! I will be talking about if I wrote a book, what would it be called? Why would I called my book that? What would my book be about? Why would my book be about that? What is the significance about the book name and the significance about what the book is about? Why is the name and the book is about so significant? Would I buy my own book? Why or why not? Let's get started with this blog episode! Shall we? We shall! 

Talking about when do I want to start writing a book? Why do I want to start writing a book? 

Has anyone had a dream about writing their own book or even a book that is fiction?? Ever since I started blogging, I have always dreamt about writing my book. I want to write books based on my life or even fiction books as well. Even children books in the future! I love writing a lot and me becoming an author would be a perfect job for me. When do I want to start writing a book? I want to start writing a book in the future like two or three years down the road or even five years. I don't care! I want to write my own book and do book tours around the world one day! Why do I want to start writing a book? The reason why I want to start writing a book is because I think I would release really good books and I feel like me becoming an author would be a dream come true. I want to write books about my life or makeup or skincare tips. Tips about how to get through a breakup or how to get through someone who passed away. Just stuff like that. I want to help people out in the future and tell people that "Whatever you are going through, You are loved and you will always have people here for you no matter what! Becoming an author would be a dream come true and I can't wait to make that dream come true one day! 

If I wrote a book, what would it be called? Why would I call my book that?

If I wrote a book, what would it be called? If I wrote a book, I would call it Brandee: A woman who went through a lot. I love this book title a lot. It holds a lot of significance to me. I went through a lot growing up but I have endure it and I am strong and I am a fighter. Why would I call my book that? The reason why I would call my book that is because growing up, I went through a lot. I went through bullying. I have tried to attempt suicide before which was hard on me. When I was in middle school and high school, I went back and fourth to my dad and mom's house which was really rough on me. I didn't like it at all. It was really hard on me but I got through it and I am very proud of myself for getting through it! I remember through middle school and maybe high school that I was very suicidal and that was hard on me as well because I didn't know how to tell people that "I'm suicidal. I need help." It was very hard for me to tell people that I was going through a lot and with that book title, I could tell my story and tell people what I went through and how I got through it!! 

What would my book be about? Why would my book be about that? 

My book would be about me and what I went through in my life? I would also talk about the struggles that I had to endure along the way and how I got through the pain that gave me through my life. I would also give tips about how I got through the things that I went through in my life. I went through breakups and heartbreaks but those things made me stronger than before. Breakups and heartbreaks are so hurtful and I went through so much when me and my ex boyfriend broke up. It hurt me a lot. Another thing I would talk about in my book is how I cope with a love one who went to go be with Jesus. Loosing a love one is very hard. It is okay to grief and it is okay to cry over them, but just remember that they are not in pain anymore and they are not suffering anymore. You don't want your love one to see you cry. I know it hurts that your love one isn't here anymore but they might not be here in person but they are here in spirit and they are watching over you and they are telling you that they are proud of you. I know that I have people who went to be with Jesus and I know that they are proud of me. Sometimes, I cry over people who went to be with Jesus but I need to remember that they are not in pain anymore. I do miss them everyday but I know that they would be so proud of me! Why would my book be about that? The reason why my book would be about what I went through in my life is because I want to show other women whatever you go through in life, you can be strong and you don't have to give up. Yes, I went through something's that were hard in my life, but I didn't give up. That's not in my blood! I don't quit because quitting isn't in my nature. Never give up and don't quit!! 

What is the significance about the book name and the significance about what the book is about? Why is the name and the book is about so significant? 

The significance about the book name is it means a lot to me. Before I was born, throughout my mom's pregnancy with me, everyone thought I was going to be a boy and I was going to be named after my dad. Well, my older sister, Brandy was like "Nope. It is a girl and you are naming her after me". So, here I am and I am named after my big sister, Brandy which I don't mind at all because I love my big sister a lot. The book title "Brandee: A woman who went through a lot" holds a lot of significance. The name "Brandee" came from my older sister, Brandy and "A woman who went through a lot" came from I went through a lot when I was growing up and it made me stronger and I know that I am a fighter. I don't give up easily and I will never give up! The reason why the name of my book is so significant is because I love my name a lot and I also love the name of my future book. I know that I am a strong woman and yes, I went through a lot but that doesn't mean I should give up like that and just quit. The significance behind about what the book is about is I went through a lot when I was in elementary school, middle school, and high school. I was bullied because of my weight and it was very hurtful but it made stronger. I also went through going back and fourth with my dad and my mom which wasn't fun at all. The reason why the book is about so significant is because to write something that you went through shows a lot of courage and I am not afraid to talk about what I went through in my future book. I want my readers to know that whatever I went through, if they went through the same thing, they can get through it as well. Everyone is strong in their own way and whatever I went through, my readers can get through whatever they are going through as well. Never give up!

Would I buy my own book? Why or why not?

Would I buy my own book? Honestly, yes! Yes, I would buy own book! I would buy own book because that way I can critique my own work. I would give myself a honest review and tell my honest opinion about my own book. I would love to give myself a review and tell myself what I need to work on in my next book and what kind of changes that I need to change and remember for my next book. I don't mind to be own critic at all. I think it is good to be your own critic is because you can critique your own work and remind yourself not to do the same mistakes again!!! You can see it from other people's point of view and you can see what you did wrong and fix it! If you see from other people's point of view and you will be like "Okay, I see it now". If you see it from other peoples point of view, you would totally understand it a lot better and you could see your work from your point of view as well. Not all authors are perfect in writing because they make mistakes as well. With me, before I post my blog, I have to review it first and make sure I don't have any mistakes or make sure it looks good. I like to review my work before I post it and I think I probably would be the same way with my future books because I am that that type of person who loves to review her work!! 

In conclusion/ Tip of the day/ Question of the day?

In conclusion, I think if I see my work and someone tells me "Oh! It's good but you need to fix this," I wouldn't believe them but if I read it myself, then a lightbulb moment would pop in my head and would be like "Okay. I can see from your point of view now." It is always good to get feedback from other people but if you see your work from your own perspective, you know that you would probably fix it automatically. With me, I would want my books to make sense and make sure they get my story across! I want to make sure my stories are good and I want to make sure my stories are clean with no mistakes at all. I love writing and I want to make sure my first book is very good and I want to make myself proud by writing my first book with no mistakes but if I do make mistakes in my first book in the future, that's okay. There is always room for improvement! I know that I can always improve and I can get better and better each time!! Here is my tip and question of the day?! My tip of the day is do something that you are very passionate about! Do something that you love to do such as writing stories or even writing music. Do something that you love and that you enjoy doing! My question of the day is If you want to write your first book, what would you call your first book? Why would you call your first book that? What would your first book be about? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know. I would love to read y'all's comments and answer them as well! 

Alright, my Shinning Star Butterflies! Y'all have reached the end of today's blog episode for today! I hope everyone enjoyed today's blog episode! If you have a dream about writing your first book, reach for that goal! I believe that y'all can do it and I believe in my Shinning Star Butterflies. If y'all have a different goal in life, that's okay as well. Everyone has a different goal in life and that's fine! As long as your happy with your goals in life, then that is all that matters! Your happiness matters and I want all of my Shinning Star Butterflies to be happy! I love y'all so much and I care about each of y'all so much! I love y'all and I will see y'all in my next blog! Stay Gold! Shine like a bright star that y'all are! Fly like a butterfly and chase your dreams! Your blogger queen is out! Peace! 💙💙

"Kindness 
begins with the 
understanding that 
we all struggle".
-Charles Glassman. I love this quote because everyone struggles and if someone is struggling, ask them if they are doing okay and if they need someone's shoulder to cry on. Let all of your emotions out! 

"Just because I don't always 
share my troubles, doesn't 
mean I don't have them.
At times, I may be fighting
battles you know nothing 
about."
-Unknown. I love this quote because people might think I am totally okay but really, I am fighting my own battles that anyone knows nothing about. I might be struggling with someone but I don't want no one to know because I don't want them to know. 

This is what my book cover would look like! I actually love these two pictures a lot! I have my title and what my book is about on my book cover! I love this book cover a lot! Super cute!! 

Talking about mental health and how it can take a toll on a person?

                               Talking about mental health and how it can take a toll on a person? By: Brandee Darden. Monday, March 21st, 2022! 

Intro to my blog!! 

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies! It's your girl aka the blogger queen herself, Ms. Brandee Darden. Welcome back to another blog week! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and I hope everyone has an amazing week ahead of them! Happy Monday or in other countries, Happy Tuesday! For the students who are in high school or the students who are preparing for exams, my best advice for y'all is to study and always try your best! Y'all got this and I believe in y'all 210%. For the people who are having a hard time right now, the advice that I can give y'all right now is please, don't give up! Yes, I know life is so hard right now, but just know that you are much stronger what you are going through right now! Y'all got this and never ever give up! On last week's blogs, I talked about what would I wear for spring outfits, makeup looks for spring, and self image issues! Dealing with self image issues is very hard to deal with especially if you are a model or even a movie star. Some actors and actresses are recommended to be on a strict diet and that must be hard. On this week's blog episodes, I will be talking about mental health and how it can take a toll on a person, my future book, and my workout routine and why did I started working out? Let's get started with a new blog episode! Shall we! We shall! 

Talking about this week's blog episode and what is this week's song of the week? Why did I pick that song for the week? 

On this week's blog episode, I will be talking about mental health and how it can take a toll on a person? I will be talking about when I think about mental health, what comes to my mind? Why does that thing come to my mind? How can mental health take a toll on a person? Why does mental health can take a toll on a person? If I have any advice about mental health or people telling you to "get over it", what is my advice to those people? Why would I give that advice to those people? The song of the week is called "Stay Alive" by Jeon Jungkook produced by Min Yoongi. They are both from BTS! This song to me means a lot to me. It reminds me that I need to stay alive no matter what. Why did I pick that song for the week? The reason why I picked that song for the week is because it holds a special place in my heart and it just reminds that it doesn't matter how hard life can get sometimes, I can't throw in the towel and give up! I have to stay alive and hold on until I can't hold on anymore. 

Talking about mental health and why everyone should take it very serious? 

Mental health is something that everyone should take serious! It shouldn't be something that you shouldn't joke about. People go through mental health problems everyday whether it is anxiety or depression or even bipolar. You could be talking to someone right now and they can say "I'm okay" but deep down inside, they are really not okay. They could be really depressed but you won't even know it. With me, I am not diagnosed yet but when I get put into a group chat with four or more people or their is a lot of people in the store, I feel anxious and I just wanted to get out of that store or that group chat because I feel stressed when people send me a lot of texts. It doesn't have to be in a group chat. It can be from a single person and I still feel anxious. I don't like when people send me a lot of text. I feel anxious and I tend to want to freak out at times! Why everyone should take it very serious? The reason why you should take mental health very serious is because it can take a toll on a person. Sometimes, that person can wake up really happy but deep down inside, they are very depressed because something happened in their life that might caused them to be depressed or they are sad for no reason at all. Mental health is a very serious matter and if you don't take it serious, shame on you! It is not a joke! Don't joke around! 

When I think about mental health, what comes to my mind? Why does that thing come to my mind? 

When I think about mental health, what comes to my mind? When I think of mental health, I think of depression, anxiety, and so many other mental health illnesses. Mental health is so hard for a person to handle. Some people have their good days, but they also have their bad days as well. A depressed person can be like "I'm okay" but really, they are hurting inside and they don't want to talk to anyone because they won't to be left alone and that stinks. Someone with anxiety can have a good day but all of sudden, they can get stressed out and panic because of something or someone is doing something. For me, I get stressed out when someone sends me so many texts at one time. When someone sends me more than one text message, I tend to want to throw my phone or freak out because I want to answer it but that person is still typing and it drives me crazy! If someone talks to me, please send me one text at a time! Please. Why does that thing come to my mind? The reason why depression, anxiety, and so many other mental health illnesses come to my mind is because I know some people who have depression and anxiety and it hard for me to see someone who I love and care about so much who have mental health issues because you want the best for them and you want to make sure they are okay! 

How can mental health take a toll on a person? Why does mental health can take a toll on a person? 

Mental health can take a toll on person very hard at times! Sometimes with someone with depression and anxiety can be having a good day, but all of the sudden, something or someone can say something that can trigger their anxiety and depression. Someone who has PTSD can also have a good day and all of the sudden, they could have a flashback of what happened to them and then, they don't want to do anything for rest of the day because they are afraid of what is going to happened to them. Mental health is very bad but it can also shape people for what they are! Your mental health illness makes you who you are! Yes, you are going to have a bad day and that's okay! Everyone has a good day and a bad day! It is okay! Why does mental health can take a toll on a person? The reason why mental health can take a toll on a person is because with a depressed person, they can wake up all happy with a smile on their face but the next day, they don't want to get up because of how they are feeling or some depressed people don't want to talk to many people except when they want to talk to a few people or no people at all. Mental health is hard on a person and you don't know how that person is going to feel until you talk to that person!

If I have any advice about mental health or people telling you to "get over it", what is my advice to those people? 

If I have any advice about mental health or people telling you to "get over it", what is my advice to those people? I had someone who told me to "get over it" talking about my mental health issues and honestly, hearing that from someone who you love and someone that you care about is hard but my advice about mental health or people telling you to "get over it" is keep pushing through life. I know having mental health is hard, but you have push through it and keep fight through it. Never give up. You have people who love you so much and I am one of those people. If someone tells you to "get over it", my advice for y'all is just walk away and remind yourself to keep on going. Remind yourself that you're strong and you got this. Remind yourself that you have people who love you for who you are. Remind yourself that it is okay to cry! Remind yourself that whatever you are going through, you got this! Everyone is strong and everyone has people in their life who loves them no matter what! I know I know that I have a lot of people who love me and that they care about me so much! I am lucky and very blessed! 

Why would I give that advice to those people aka my Shinning Star Butterflies?

The reason why I would give that advice to those people aka my Shinning Star Butterflies is because it is good to remind everyone that there is people in your life who love you and will support you no matter what. There is people who cares about you and your mental health more than anything in this world. I am blessed to have friends and family who love me for who I am as a person and for what I love. I have some friends and family who can read me like a book and one of my friends will be like "you're not fine" and I will tell them "I know". It is really good to have those friends and family who can read you like a book and who can help you through your hard times! I am lucky enough to have so many people around the world who is supporting me through my blogging journey! I am very blessed and I love what I do!!

In conclusion/ Tip of the day! 

In conclusion, having any type of mental health illness is really hard for a person!

"I think the saddest people 
always try their hardest 
to make people happy 
because they know what 
it's like to feel absolutely 
worthless."
-Robin Williams. I love this quote because when people are sad, they want to hide their sadness and they want to make people happy. When people are sad, they want to push their feelings aside and help the other person out!! 

"The worst part about 
having mental health issues
is that you're seemingly required 
to have a breakdown
in order for people to understand 
how hard you were trying 
to hold yourself together."
-MYRIADSUBTLETIESS/ The Minds Journal. I like this quote because you haven't to have a mental breakdown for other people to understand. People should understand how you are feeling and why you are feeling like this not by having a mental breakdown. 

"Remember that 
your mental health is a 
priority, your inner
peace is essential and
your self-care is a
necessity."
-Unknown. I love this quote because your mental health should be a priority and you should always put yourself first no matter what. You can be selfish if you want to because you should always take care of yourself first no matter what and always do some self care because you should always take care of yourself. 

The song of the week is "Stay Alive" by Jeon Jungkook, produced by Min Yoongi. They are members from my favorite Kpop band BTS! This song reminds me to stay alive no matter. When life gets hard, I always remember to fight back and to never give up!! 

Analyzing the song "Dynamite" By BTS. Blog episode by Brandee Darden.

                                  💜Analyzing the song "Dynamite" by BTS! Blog episode by Brandee Darden. Friday, March 4th, 2022!💜 

Intro to my blog!

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies!! It's your blogger queen, Brandee here with another blog episode! How's everyone doing? I hope everyone is doing well and amazing! If not, that's okay! Everything  is going to be okay! Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday! It is the weekend! Yay! I hope everyone will have an amazing weekend ahead and I hope everyone stays safe as well! On Wednesday's blog episode, I talked about my future jobs! Honestly, I just want to say thank you to everyone who read on my blog on Wednesday! That meant everything to me! Thank you so much! I could see myself traveling around the world and selling my books and going on book tours an d being a motivational speaker. I could see myself speaking about mental health and bullying and I could see myself being a YouTuber and vlogging about my daily life or vlog about my tour and talk about my book as well! I would love to be a writer, a motivational speaker, and YouTuber! I think I would be really good at it!! On today's blog episode, I will be talking about the song "Dynamite" by BTS! Don't get it confused with "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz. I will be talking about when I hear the song "Dynamite" by BTS, what does it make me think of? Why does it make me think of that thing? In my own words, what is the meaning of this song? Why do I think in my own words what I think about the meaning of the song is about? Do I think this song is my summer jam or no? Why or why not do I think that song is my summer jam or not? Now, who is ready for a new blog? I know I am! Let's get started! Shall we? We shall! Let's light it up like Dynamite!! 

Talking about the different versions of "Dynamite" by BTS! Which top 3 versions that I like? Why do I like those versions better than the other versions better?

BTS song "Dynamite" came out on August 21st, 2020!! When I first heard that song for the first time, I was like "OMG! This song is so good"! The music video for the song "Dynamite" was absolutely amazing and there was so much bright colors which I love so much and the video was so cute! The song makes you want to get up and dance to it! I love that song a lot! BTS came out with different remixes of "Dynamite". The different remixes are instrumental, slow jam, retro, bedroom, holiday, acoustic, tropical, EDM, and poolside remix! All of those remixes are absolutely amazing! Which top 3 versions that I like? The top 3 versions that I like of "Dynamite" is the regular version. The second version that I like of "Dynamite" is the holiday remix!! The third and final remix that I like of "Dynamite" is EDM!!! Why do I like those versions better than other versions better? The reason why I like those versions better is because with the regular version without the remix, it is very good and very catchy! I love it a lot!! The reason why I like the holiday remix of "Dynamite" by BTS is because it makes me think of the holiday's a lot which I love! I love the holidays and there is no better way to start off the holidays then with BTS song "Dynamite" the holiday remix! The reason I like the EDM remix is because it is very upbeat and it reminds me of a song that you would actually play a club because it is very upbeat but it is very good!!

When I hear the song "Dynamite" by BTS, what does it make me think of? Why does it make me think of that thing?

When I hear the song "Dynamite" by BTS, what does it me think of? It makes me think of a time where I just want to be with my friends or family, just chilling by the pool. Another thing it makes me think of is I want to get up and dance. Dynamite is such a very upbeat song that you can't help but dance to it! I love this song so much! I would love to throw a pool party one day and play this song at my pool. I would actually play poolside remix of "Dynamite" by BTS because it would be fitting for me and my family or me and friends since we are chilling by the pool! The third and final thing that it makes me think of is when I hear this song, I think to myself "OMG! They sing so good in English". When I first heard that they were coming out with their first song in English, it actually surprised me because I am used to them singing or rapping in Korean, but when the song came out, I was shocked because it was absolutely amazing and they did so good with the song! The video is so cute and I love it a lot! They also came out two music videos as well! Both are absolutely amazing!! Why does it make think of that thing? The reasons why it made think of a time where I just want to be with my friends or family just chilling by the pool is because you want to have a great day with your friends or family just chilling by the pool and have a good summer and enjoy those times!! The second reason why it makes me think of a time where I want to get up and dance is because every time I listen to it, I just want to get up and dance! Even though I am not a good dancer, I would love to dance to it and just have a good time and dancing! The third and final reason why it made me think of is when I heard this song for first time, I thought to myself "It is going to be in Korean" but when it officially came out, I was stunned when it was in English. The BTS members don't know English very well but when they rapped and sang in English, I was shocked and surprised because I was used to them singing in Korean, but they are so good and talented! I'm so proud of them for releasing their first song in English and they also have other English songs like "Butter" and "Permission To Dance" which I will talk about in other blog episode soon!! They did so good on "Dynamite" that I still listen to the song to this day!! 

In my own words, what is the meaning of this song? 

In my own words, what is the meaning of this song? What I think of the meaning of this song is when you wake up in the morning, you might want to drink some milk or in my case, either iced coffee or a fruit smoothie! You also want to have a glow up because in the song there is a line sang by J-Hope that goes like "Disco Overload, I'm into that, I'm good to go

I'm diamond, you know I glow up". When I hear this line, it makes me think of a glow up where you have changed or you did your skin care routine and have that glow to you which is a nice thing to have!! Another line that stood out to me is where my bias Kim Taehyung aka V sings "Bring a friend, join a crowd

Whoever wanna come along

Word up, talk the talk

Just move like we off the wall 

Day or night, the sky's alight  

So we dance to the break of dawn". When I think about that line and the meaning to it, I think of bringing one or more friend and talking to those friends and just to the break of dawn because you want have that time with your friends because you don't know when that last moment with your friends or even your family so you want to enjoy those moments together and have a good time with one another!! Also, some people like to sing in the morning and sometimes, that is me! When I am in the mood for singing, I would sing but a lot of the times, I don't bother with singing in the mornings! 

Why do I think in my own words, what I think about the meaning of this song is about? 

The reason why I think in my own words, what I think about the meaning of this song is about is because in the mornings, some people like to drink milk or eat cereal with milk in it and sing a few tunes in the mornings, if they are up to it! Another reason why I put it in my own words about the meaning of this song is about because when you think about a diamond, it glows and if you do your skincare routine or you glow up from when you are younger, you are glowing and you have glow to you, which is a good thing!! The third and final reason why I put it in my own words about the meaning of this song is about is because when you bring one friend or more friends, it is like a big crowd and it is like a big dance party and you want to dance until the break of dawn and you want to enjoy those moments with your family or friends. Your family can be your best friends as well! I know that some of my family are like my best friends like my sisters, Tyna and Brandy! They are not only they are my sisters but they are also my best friends that they will never leave my side!! 

Do I think this song is my summer jam or no? Why or why not do I think that song is my summer jam?

Do I think this song is my summer jam or no? Y'all are probably wondering, "Brandee, is Dynamite your summer jam or no"? Honestly, to answer the question, yes! Dynamite is my summer jam! When I heard that song, I instantly fell in love with not only just the song but also the music video! The music video is so colorful and I love colorful things a lot! I also love how the song is very upbeat as well that way you can dance with my friends or my family members! Dynamite can be perfect for a summer jam or you can listen to it all year round! If you are a BTS fan like me or if you like upbeat songs like me as well, this song is for you!!!! Why or why not do I think that song is my summer jam? The reason why I think this song is my summer jam is because I love to dance especially when I am alone in my room and when the song hits me, I just can't help it but dance because the song is so good and I just love the beat to it! It has a good beat to it which I love and adore so much!! 

In conclusion/ Tip of the day/ Question of the day?

In conclusion, when you listen to a song and you think to yourself, "I want this song apart of my summer playlist or your everyday playlist".  I remembered when BTS released the trailer for their new song and I remembered watching the trailer and I was like "OMG! This is going to be so good! The song is absolutely amazing and the video was very well done! The outfits were absolutely amazing as well. I love the outfits were awesome and I love the colors of the outfits that BTS wore in the music video! They did so good and I am so proud of them for releasing their first English song! They are absolutely talented and they did amazing! Here is my tip and question of the day?! The tip of the is find a song that speaks to you or that fits you perfectly for you during the summer! I know that a lot of people don't like Kpop music and that's okay! Find a song that makes you happy or makes you want to dance! Listen to what makes you happy! BTS or Kpop music in general makes me happy! I love BTS and different Kpop artists because even though you can't understand what they are saying, but you can understand what they are feeling and that matters to me! The question of the day is What is your song for the summer? What is your summer jam that you would like to listen to during the summer or all year round? Why do you like to listen to that song during the summer or all year round? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know what kind of song that you like to listen to during the summer or all year round!!

My future jobs! By: Brandee Darden.

                               💙 My future jobs! By: Brandee Darden. Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022!! 💜

Intro to my blog!

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies! It's your girl slash Blogger Queen, Brandee back with another blog episode! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! I hope everyone had a great day on Tuesday or in other countries, on Wednesday! I had an okay day yesterday!! I hope everyone is staying safe and staying hydrated! On Monday's blog episode, I talked about which blogs I liked and which blog post was hard to talk about it? Picking my blogging experience and my goals for 2022 as my favorite was a decision that I made based on how I was feeling and those two pulled at my heart strings! When I think about my blogging experience so far, I think to myself "How did I get so lucky? I felt like I was meant to do this". I know that I was meant to do this because I feel like some of my friends and my family can agree with me that I'm a great writer! When I picked the goals for 2022 as my favorite, i thought to myself "I want to pick goals that I feel like I can achieve". When I put one of my goals as being happy again, I have struggled with being happy. I would have happy moments but I wasn't fully happy just because I was going through a lot! The blog post that I was so hard for to talk about was my story about my suicide attempt! When I was working on it, I was crying because it was the hardest thing that I had to talk about! It brought up so many memories and it was so hard!! I was very hard for me to talk about but I got through it!

Talking about today's blog episode!! 

For today's blog episode, I will be talking about my future jobs!! Yes! I will be talking about if I could pick my future jobs, what would they be? Why would I pick those as my jobs? What is so significant for me to become a writer, motivational speaker, and a YouTuber? Why is it so significant? If I have any advice for anyone who wants to chase their dreams, what would that advice be? Why would I give that advice to someone who is chasing their dreams? Now, I'm ready for a new blog post! Who else is ready for a new blog post? Let's get started! Shall we? We shall!!

What I wanted to do when I was growing? Why I wanted to do that job when I was growing up?

When you ask kids what they wanted to do, some say they want to be a police officer or a firefighter or even a doctor! When I was a kid, I wanted to be a teacher or a paralegal. When I was a senior in high school, I got into makeup and that's when I wanted to become a makeup artist. I loved kids since I could remember and I think I wouldn't mind becoming a teacher. Why I wanted to do that job when I was growing up? The reason why I wanted to become a teacher is because I love kids! Kids always pulled at my heartstrings and I enjoy being around kids. Kids bring me so much happiness! I love being around my nieces and nephews! The second reason why I wanted to become a paralegal is because I wanted to become a paralegal just like my sister, Brandy and I thought it would be cool! The third and final reason why I wanted to become a makeup artist is because I love makeup! Makeup is my literal passion and I love creating makeup looks! I love putting makeup concepts together! 

If I could pick my future jobs, what would they be? Why would I pick those as my jobs?

If I could pick my future jobs, what would they be? If I could pick my future jobs, the first one I would pick a writer like a journalist or an author. Ever since I got into blogging, I feel like I could see myself being a journalist or an author. I feel like I could see myself traveling around the world and do book tours and talking about my book in different places like South Korea, the Philippines, the Netherlands, India, and so many countries and states. The second job that I would like to do in the future is motivational speaker. When I started blogging, I have been told that I am inspiring and I want to motivate people to do what they love to do! I want to be that person who wants to inspire people to chase their dreams and to never give up. I would love to travel around the world and give speeches about what I went through and give advice or even tips! The third and final future job that I would love to do in the future is be a YouTuber! I would love to show my daily life or share my story or update anyone about anything! I think being a YouTuber would be so fun and I think I could be a vlogger in the future!! Why would I pick those as my jobs? The first reason why I picked writer such as a journalist or an author is because I could see myself with my own book. I could see myself writing my own book in the future and doing my own book tours! The second reason why I picked motivational speaker as my second job in the future is because I would love to speak about mental health and bullying because I feel like people don't speak enough about it and I want to be an advocate for bullying and mental health. I would love to motivate people and speak about my stories and what I went through! The third and final reason why I picked a YouTuber as my third job is because I always thought being an YouTuber is fun! I always think being a vlogger is fun. I would love to do story time or makeup tutorials or what I would do throughout my day? Just simple stuff like that! I would love to show what I would do in my daily life and give out tips! I would also love to show how I make my smoothies? I think me being a vlogger would be so much fun and show people what I do and just share my stories. I would also love to do challenges with my friends where I have two of my friends or my family  and I would ask them questions to see who knows me better? That would be so fun!!

What is so significant for me to become a writer, motivational speaker, and a YouTuber? Why is it so significant?

The significance of me becoming a writer is blogging has took over me! Ever since I started blogging, all I want to do is write! I love writing and I would write poems and sometimes, blog ideas. I would love to write own my book in the future! I would love to write books about my poems or my experiences or my bullying story or even my suicide attempt story. I would also would love to write a children's book based about my great nieces and nephews. They are my world and my everything! I would love to write my own book based on the struggles that I have went through and how I went through them?! The significance of me becoming a motivational speaker is I want to be an inspiration to others. I want people to know that you are loved and to never give up! I would love to speak to an audience and tell them about my past struggles and tell them "whatever y'all are going through, just know that you are loved and I'm here for anyone no matter what". I would love to share any advice that I have on a certain topics like heartbreak or even about someone who passed away!  The significance of me becoming a YouTuber would be amazing! When I think about being a YouTuber, I think of the fun challenges that I would love to do with my family or my friends who live in the United States or even out of the states. I would love to share my makeup tips or share my skincare routine for day and night!! I would love to share any advice that I might have to get over a breakup or even bullying issues because I can't stand bullying so I want to be that voice for bullying and mental health. Why is it so significant? The reason why all of these are so significant to me is because I would love to share my platform all around the world and tell people everything will be okay and to never give up!

If I have any advice for anyone who wants to chase their dreams, what would that advice be? Why would I give that advice to someone who is chasing their dreams?

If have any advice for anyone who wants to chase their dreams, what would that advice be? My advice to anyone who wants to chase their dreams is to never give up! Never give up because yes, you are going to have hard times but you are also going to have bumps in the road that might stop you from chasing your dreams but you just have get over those bumps and get over it. You can do it! Never use the word "can't" because it's like a curse word if you think about it! If you use the world can't, you are setting yourself up for failure and you don't want to do that! Always keep trying no matter what! Why would I give that advice to someone who is chasing their dreams? The reason why I would give that advice to someone who is chasing their dreams is because growing up, I wanted to give up at times but I have to remember that I can't give up and I can't use the word "can't" or say "I can't do this". That word and that saying are not in my vocabulary! It would never be in my vocabulary! Never use the word "can't" or the saying "I can't do this" because you can do it and I believe in you 200%. Never give up!!!

In conclusion/ Tip of the day/ Question of the day? Challenge of the day!! 

In conclusion, once you start chasing your dreams and you feel like you accomplished it, you should be proud of yourself. Chasing your dream job and then, you got it, it would feel incredible and you can tell yourself "you did it". When I think of becoming a writer, motivational speaker, and a YouTuber, I think of excitement and happiness. I feel like if I start thinking about writing a book and doing book tours about my book, I feel like my book might sell out and honestly, just thinking about that, makes me very excited! I feel like after my shows as a motivational speaker, I feel like people would go up to me and say "You are such an inspirational to my life and thank you for that." If someone told me that after my show, chances are that I would cry and hug that person and tell them "thank you so much for saying that. That means a lot to me. Thank you". I can't wait to see what the future holds for me and my Shinning Star Butterflies! I can't wait to start my future jobs in the future! Here is my tip, question, and challenge of the day?! My tip of the day is to never give up! Never give up on what you love and keep fighting for what you love because at the end of the day, you kept fighting for what you love to do and you never gave up; so, always keep fighting! My question of the day is if you could pick any job that you wanted to do, what would you do? Why would you do that as a job? Sound off in the comments down below! Let me know what kind of job would y'all do! I would love to read y'all's comments!!  The challenge of the day is don't use the word "can't" or the phrase "I can't do it". Y'all can do it, my Shinning Star Butterflies! I believe in y'all 200%. Don't give up!
