Wonders of Aries

  Not gonna lie. I was skeptical and stubborn about using TikTok but after the 2020 diabolical situations of boredom and lack of interaction even for a introvert like yours truly, it was and is an amazing creative platform. I post my reviews and my small "Ted Talks" when it comes to the vaccine, mental health issues, bring awareness to important political and humanitarian matters or just having fun. My TikTok is @wonderaries13 I hope you enjoy my content. 

    I, along with many Disney customers have received the dreaded e-mail that has announced local Disney Stores were officially closing. I woke up to this image as I was starting my morning and this has portrayed my 2021 as something that doesn't seem to get any better. A bit dramatic? Yes and I do not feel guilty or ashamed for feeling this way. Why? Despite the circumstances of a global pandemic due to the COVID-19 virus that may become an official, endemic. The Disney Store has been a happy space for me and has eased my anxiety by just being surrounded by things that I associate with the very few happy times in my childhood. I have never been to Disney Land or Disney World so the Disney Store is as close as I have ever came to it, along with watching vlogs on trips to Disney.  Now, before, anyone starts to comment on social distancing protocols, I have been taking as much precautions when I go to a large place like the Disney Store which I am ashamed is non-essential a...

  Volunteer- Freely offering to do something without payment  When we hear the word volunteer it's one of many things that pop into our mind. The first being, "That's a generous person" and the second being, "This person has too much time on his/her hands" and the third being, "I need the job experience" and the fourth being, "She/He must have to do the dirty jobs and love being a doormat."  Sadly, one of these things has popped up in my head and numerous others when I say "I volunteer" either it be in a hospice as a singer that I can no longer do because of COVID-19 protocols and the lack of safety, being a museum tour guide or my new found position that I'm waiting to hear on, is a virtual speaker for classrooms. I miss working in my prefer field which was helping university students in Ethnomusicology classes and working with the NASA program. It's amazing and depressing to remember my time there and try to take what ...

  Job Searching, its been the constant fear and dread or in some cases the utter delight to find your place in the work force. But the latter for some of us Millennials like yours truly, finding work in my department has been a constant let down and the difficulties of helping raise someone else's children as they get their own life together and you are left with the pieces that's been on your shoulders since the age 13.  Did I get too personal there? Yes. Is it profession in a blog post that is open to the public or that could be used by DCS or a Hiring Manager? Yes and no. Why? Because I need to let people know that are within my age group or even in the similar situation to know and understand that you are trying and you will make it through this setback. Yes it is a setback. You and I have been trying to get our lives back in order from a couple of days to maybe multiple years and the inconsistency of not finding the right environment or the right career, its get exha...

Does anyone else out there have to deal with, what I call a certain group of people, "StupIdiots" without using foul language for my sake.  StupIdiots: stupid idiots that refuse to listen or adhere to common sense safety because they are stubborn and their judgments have no logic or reasoning.  I have a couple in my family. I have 1 nephew that doesn't believe in COVID-19 or how contagious this virus is and a mother that refuses to practice social distancing or sanitary hygienic protocols and a second oldest sister who decides to throw her son a pool party during a pandemic and required quarantine. Also, my second youngest sister (I am the youngest) that has no sense of reasoning to keep social distancing and with her situation is somewhat homelessness due to drugs but she should at least be wary that she shouldn't be asking our mother or her children to go to the stores without basic PPE like a mask or gloves because she "don't give a fuck." This s...

      Do you ever stop in your tracks when you smell a familiar scent? Nothing gross but like a smell that triggers a memory even a memory that you didn't realize was still stored up in that cranium of yours. The smell of an old book that made you feel like an explorer, a sweet scent mixed with a rustic woodsy aura or a scent of a perfume that gave you all the happiest memories that you can't find a duplicate of because it's a rare perfume.      The latter happened to me today, I was trifling through my old high school photos and I found a photo of a perfume bottle that I was obsessed with as a teenager during my transition from pre-teen to teen and my first time having friends and I was able to express myself through fashion. Fast forward to age 28 and I am still unable to find a duplicate of this perfume scent and the closest I found was Anna Sui's, " Forbidden Affair" how melancholy poetic that name is. Also, it came in a cool bottle.  ...

     Pretty much everyone else has nieces or nephews or your own children that have to do online school work now? I'll take the assumption to a "yes." I'm not new to online school work or any online courses. Technology can be amazing and sometimes it can be a straight pain in the ass. Right? I've been helping my younger nephews with their school work and so far it seems non-online schools that are now required to be fully online didn't properly prepare for this. I am so frustrated with these assignments that have to be completed on different websites for 1 subject or there are 5 assignments using different programs.. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I am so close to having my mom, who is the guardians of these 3 chipmunks to Primavera Online school because everything is on 1 program and they have you work outside the website only for small stuff like YouTube or whatnot.     You're probably saying, "It's new and teachers weren't prepared for this pandemi...

     Due to this COVID-19 virus, has anyone else experienced anxiety for others who might get it and end up giving themselves a panic attack? Or is that just me?      I've been feeling like this for the past week, once my COVID-19 anxiety for me hasn't "passed" but more like subsided. I feel like this when I notice small things about my mom when she's so burnt out from work and then her work has her go to the "field" because she is an essential work for a gas company. However, her health and her age is what worries me, one wrong move on my mom's part from being in the desert heat where she touche her face or touches something contaminated is all it takes, TERRIFIES me. I worry about my mom a lot and I am the closest to her and I love my mom dearly but I worry because sometimes she can be a little bit careless not on purpose but I'm not her mother, so does it give me the right to be this worrisome as her daughter?      Maybe you feel this...

During this time anxiety is inevitable. Having any symptoms from sneezing, coughing, slight fever or losing your sense of smell even for a couple of minutes (nose blind from having too many pets) causes a quick anxiety spell. Even going to the grocery store while using gloves and a mask is daunting because any opening can be pathway to COVID-19 and for some reason people are still doing the disgusting habits of not covering their mouth or nose in public.  All I can say is, we can only do so much to prevent it from ourselves and try our best to avoid giving it to the people whom we love that are immune compromised. So many people have lost the ability to mourn, laugh, be happy or have the luxury to go out on a walk because of  this virus and irresponsible behavior and actions.  During an anxious moment. Take a breath. Focus on what made or makes you happy and the people who make life worthwhile. Thinking about something or someone or a movie where there's a happy endi...

Well, there's no other way to put this but a global pandemic of a new virus called COVID-19 completely sucks and the fact there's no vaccine against it makes this more nerve wracking.  To those that suffer from anxiety and depression, please reach out to someone whom you trust or a professional. Crisis Text Line can be reach for a crisis counselor if you need to speak to someone or the suicide prevention hotline can be of help to. I know a lot of people are having difficulties at this time when their own battles are ongoing and this COVID-19 is making it hard for those who need to seek mental health attention but can't at this time or they're facing the COVID-19 anxiety. This is a difficult time and I hope this passes soon or at least gets a better control since most of the vaccines won't be available or proven effective until next year. I see a lot of people who are losing hope everyday and each moment because of this virus anxiety that is having a huge effect on...

Valentine's Day!!! This holiday is probably one of my top favorite holidays to celebrate and enjoy. Actually any holiday that gives me a reason to enjoy some delicious candy at a very decent price. 😋 I'm not gonna lie. About 4 years ago, I would have detested the idea or the notion of celebrating this holiday because, why celebrate a holiday that makes you depressed to be single and unloved?  Then, it hit me that year when I was taking my youngest nephew shopping for the voluntary Valentine's Day gift cards and candy for his class. Why am I getting so offended and angry about a day that's suppose to be fun and about SHARING the joyful notion of "love." I am honestly not a big believer in "love" and I realized my disbelief was/is similar to how I feel about "fairy tales do come true." And that is, just because something isn't as believable, why not still enjoy it if it brings some sense of happiness to myself? I want to adore and ...

Definition Restarting- to start again  A lot of people have these moments in their life and somehow end up feeling ashamed about it. I'm here to tell you, do not feel ashamed and do not feel like a failure.  Life happens and sometimes we get sidetracked even by a couple of years, plus more. Even when it seems like we do everything right and follow the steps we set out for ourselves to what we think is successful and our happiness. Or others will feel like they're in limbo or an abyss and hoping there will be some sign for what they need to do with life and times passes by. Please understand, you have to make a choice and be able to take life by your own hands and seek out where you want to be in this stage in your life. It's never too late. We all get one chance in life and we are extremely lucky and blessed to see another day. You'd be surprised what a small change or decision that you made, could make a difference in your life. I'm not talking about family or...

As a now 27 year old graduate of the University of Arizona class of 2016, I can wholeheartedly say, it has not been easy. So many things have gone wrong since graduation due to family problems that I (in my opinion foolishly) agreed to help with, but I have put my life on the longest pause. Something that was suppose to be temporary has turned into almost 3 years of my life because family members were irresponsible with their life choices and I rapidly agreed to help pull them out of but that's not how they decided it was going to go and instead of moving forward I've moved back in my life by 13 years.  My health has deteriorated from stress and my body has suffered the most and my mental health has been put at it's worst from anxiety. Finding a job has been difficult because I've been out of experience for 2 years and my car was repossessed due to- two family members that have taken advantage of my kindness. I had a different and positive outlook of my future while I w...

This is hard for me to type because it makes it more real whenever I have to think about my singing voice. I used to sing when I was a teenager and I studied and practiced all the time to get into a music college to pursue music as a voice performer in opera. That all changed when I was 19/20 years old. At age 18, I went to the University of Arizona and ran into financial trouble and family emergencies and made the hardest decision to move with my mother to Phoenix so I can help support the family.  A few months later she moved back to Tucson with my other older sister and her kids but I couldn't leave because I enrolled in a different school and had to finish or else I'd be on Academic Probation with FAFSA so I lived with my oldest sister. However, I started getting more frequent asthma attacks because my oldest sister had dogs and cats and I ran out of my medicine for Advair. (I was diagnosed with asthma at age 7 and have used Advair since I was 9 and it was controlled) My d...

He voices Max as Goofy's son and Kovu from Lion King II and also Binx from Hocus Pocus. He has a LOT of characters so it's hard to put them all down. Oh yeah! He plays Jason from Boy Meets World.

I am definitely going to try this look!

OKAY OKAY OKAY! Wonder Woman will be making an appearance in the upcoming Batman Versus Superman movie. BUT, does this mean there will be a future Wonder Woman movie? ALSO, PLEASE  for the LOVE OF ALL COMICS do NOT make her the "love interest" for Superman. I know it's in the comics and even clothing stores have shirts for this couple. But may we have a DC character not screwed up from a love scene and keep Wonder Woman mutual like a male character would in other movies and not make it like a lovey dovey type of movie. Keep it neutral like Agent Carter show series somehow? Even though that's a Marvel show and this is DC but let's face it. There are hardly any females who are superheroes without being screwed up by a guy (or chick) and emotionally mess themselves up for the public then for some reason turn anti-hero(ine) or a villain. Like Harley Quinn, Batgirl, Supergirl and Poison Ivy and Cat Woman. I know we're emotional but not all of us will turn our...

Hello everyone! So I have bought some stuff from the Cinderella collection from Hot Topic and Torrid and as beautiful as their stuff is. Why was there not as many cool stuff from the Maleficent collection like there is in the Cinderella collection? To me the Maleficent collection had some awesome stuff like the bat wing cape that I wear a lot during the cold weather and the asymmetrical shirt but it seems like it's more costume stuff for special occasions instead of everyday merchandise like the Cinderella collection. Why is that? I think there was a lot of open creativity ready but the retail department for creating merchandise didn't take a lot of ideas into these collections. The colors green and purple and red could have gone a long way to make something pop or make into like Once Upon a Time clothing like the Cinderella collection did and the Alice in Wonderland collection from years ago. This is a little disappointing that not a lot of creative minds went into this but i...
