I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS


"Ugh, I'm bored."

Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right?

Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE. Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom.

Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I have a mission to accomplish. I meant it when I said "If nobody is going to cast me, then I'm going to cast myself." Ya'll, I go hard. But, someone (I don't know who) once said that too much of anything is never good for you. Even when I wasn't posting, I found myself getting distracted by scrolling during a movie night. My right thumb was even starting to hurt! That's ridiculous!

I had to change that habit. So, I took a 5 day social media hiatus. Here's what I learned from that boredom:
1. Social media is my connection to others - I need more human interaction.
2. I put a lot of pressure on myself - I can ease up sometimes.
3. Dating apps are just as trash as I left them.

Change was so heavy on my heart that I also changed my diet. Not because I plan on never eating cake again but because I turn 30 this year and I can't let 23 year old me out-do 30 year old me. Plus, I was starting to go on a cupcake/bakery mission every week. That's ridiculous!

I had to change that habit. Here's what I'm learning from being bored with this meal plan:
1. The way I was eating popcorn is a sin.
2. You go to bed on time when you're not eating snacks in the kitchen all night.
3. My thighs deserve their own YouTube channel.

Look ya'll, the moral of the story is, sometimes, change means boredom when it's time to cut those unhealthy habits. Maybe it's too much social media, maybe it's too many sweets, maybe it's too much drama. Whatever it is that you're struggling to break from know that the CHANGE starts with you.

See ya'll next week.

-BRIT

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

DON`T LET IT GET TO YA

"After today, I`m deleting my page" Man sit your ass down (dude off of Martin voice). We all know that you're gonna be right back here next week telling us about how you're letting go of the fake people in your life, your boyfriend getting on your nerves, these girls be tripping or posting that pointless selfie of you in the bed. I see that junkie room behind you. You could of at least folded that laundry first. Okay I get it. We all need a little social media detox every now and then. Even me. It seems like people have become numb to seeing horrible images of fighting, killing, violence and hate being displayed right in their news feeds. Its sickening. And then there`s the booty pictures. Yes, we all have some saved in our camera roll but that doesn't mean you have to post it. Mam, don't look at me like that, I know you took a booty picture and sent it to your husband while he was at the office. Y'all nasty. I often find myself desiring that detox as ...
