    How to Help Improve your Life with Gratitude

    Hey guys! Welcome back to Everything Ami. Today we will be talking about gratitude, which is pretty wild considering I never thought I’d practice something enough to talk about it with others. I’m not an authority figure on this subject, of course, just someone who used to be incredibly negative for the majority of their life, one day said “enough!” and has seen her life slowly improve since. Gratitude is a not a miraculous cure-all for the sorrows in our lives, but it can be a powerful tool to aid us when those sorrowful times do occur. I recognize it’s not an easy habit to develop if the concept seems…

    Weekly Gratitude: Friday March 5th, 2021

    Happy Friday everyone! Wow, is it really March already? I can’t decide if the past year has flown by or dragged on. Regardless, there’s no way around it: it’s March. What does that mean for you guys? What does it make you think of? For me, it makes me think of bittersweet times as I was living in France last March, going to university as usual, not knowing that soon after President Macron would announce one of the strictest country-wide lockdowns. I’ll never forget those last few weeks and all those ensuing feelings. Perhaps I’ll talk about that in a future blogpost. For now, let’s continue on to the second…

    Karaya Polish: Apple of My Eye Swatches

    Hey guys! Welcome back to Everything Ami. Today I’ll be sharing a swatches of something that I never thought I’d show on my nails: a red nail polish. Red, white and black are shades that I don’t like to wear on my nails, in that order, each for a different reason. Red in particular I shy away from the most so to be sharing a red for my first nail swatch post on EA is quite surprising. With this said, this isn’t just any ol’ red; this is Karaya Polish in Apple of My Eye, with the most subtle, lovely holo running through it. Shown today is three buttery coats…

    Weekly Gratitude: Friday February 26th, 2021

    Happy Friday everyone! Today I would like to introduce a feature that will become a staple here on Everything Ami. The Weekly Gratitude series is one that will go up every Friday at 7pm PST and will list 5 things that I’m grateful for for that particular week. My aim in creating this series is to shift my mind to a state of gratitude as I feel better when I’m in this state, although like many, I do struggle to make time to reflect on this. Although I will publish only 5 things I’m grateful for on Fridays, the goal is for me to actually list 3 things I am…

    3 Book Recommendations for Fans of Historical Fiction

    Hi there! Welcome back to Everything Ami. For my first official post I’d like to talk to you guys about one of my greatest loves: books. Admittedly, I don’t always read as much as the romanticized version of me does but I’ve purposefully been trying to make more time for it since spring of last year. Of the 13 books I managed to read last year, there was one recurrent book genre that I found myself gravitating to over and over again: historical fiction. If you’re like me and love historical elements woven into fictional stories then read on ahead for the 3 book recommendations I have for fans of…
