Why I Don’t Believe in New Year’s Resolutions

December 26, 2015 by Anna Reel 5 Comments

It’s that time of year again, when resolutions are made to work off your Adipose (for non-Whovians, just read “fat”), to track and bag Prince Charming, to organize your tornado-destruction-zone office space, and to be able to reenact this scene of Scrooge McDuck. But to tell you the truth, I

Remember when you were 8 and 16 year olds were like your idols? They seemed so much older and cooler…But then when you reached 16, it wasn’t quite as magical as you always dreamed it to be? You could probably say that for any age, right? For me, 22 seemed

I made a Pokeball toss game! I immensely underesti I made a Pokeball toss game! I immensely underestimated how long it would take to make. I think I even finished 3 audiobooks while making it 😳 But it turned out so well, and I’m really proud of it ☺️

A few years ago I made my 1st collage vision board A few years ago I made my 1st collage vision board in my planner and it’s become a fun tradition for me.

However this year has been nuts and I may have only just recently made 2024’s 😂

Since we’re already in October, it’s part “what was envisioned” and a little part “what happened.”

My “One Word” for 2024 has been “hygge” ☺️, the danish word that describes a quality of coziness, comfort, contentment, and enjoying the simple good things of life with good people. 

Now that we’ve entered my favorite 3 months of the year, we’re about to get EXTRA hygge up in here! 😍🤗👵🏻☕️

You can learn more about why I chose this word on my blog TheReelanna.com or YouTube.com/TheReelAnna

The big sticker labeled Belle on the top of the left page is because Belle became my comfort movie. 🥹 

I saw it for the 1st time in February with a close friend, then last month I rewatched it and something more clicked for me—it’s become one of my favorite movies! I’ve watched it 6 times already 😅😍 The animation, story, and music are all are so incredibly gorgeous! 

Did you choose a word for your year? Or create a vision board? I’d love to hear about it! ☺️

My Grandma Mary Jo passed away on Thursday Novembe My Grandma Mary Jo passed away on Thursday November 16th and we had the funeral today.

She was the sweetest woman you’d ever meet. Even when she got dementia, she’d give compliments and “I love you”s to everyone, including strangers. 

I was able to visit her in hospice to say goodbye, holding her hand the way she used to hold mine. 

I love you, Grandma. And I miss you. Thank you for all of your unconditional love throughout my life. 💜

I still can’t believe I’ve been streaming. Tal I still can’t believe I’ve been streaming. Talking live is one of my greatest fears and I’ve been doing it regularly! 😱

This pic is a screenshot from my party stream celebrating becoming a Twitch Affiliate. I put a sticker on my face for each new subscriber and we passed all our sub goals by far in just 1 stream! 🤯

Soon we’ll be having some giveaways, a stream with my husband, a community game night, and more! I just need to figure out my schedule so I can let you guys know ahead of time! 💜

Thank you so much for all of the support. My heart is so full and my mind is still processing all that’s happened!

We had part 1 party on Sunday, playing Pokémon Shining Pearl. And now that I finally have a subscribe button, emotes, channel points, and more, we are having a part 2 party on Tuesday!!!! 🥳 We might have a part 3 on Wednesday as well!

I’ll put a Pokémon sticker on my face for each sub I get, and I have some little incentives for reaching different amounts of subs.

I’m so excited to celebrate together! 🥰🥳
