I'm Back!!!

Hello everyone, Guess who's back. I am Johnnielynn, I write a lifestyle blog where I write about my love of beauty products, nannying, pets, and anxiety. I've been off of blogging for a while and I've missed it so much. Blogging has always been helpful to my mental health. I've also got a social circle of non makeup obsessed friends so while they let me talk about all of the different beauty products that I am loving it's not real exciting to them.

Why did I leave?

Ok so as you can guess from the title this isn't my first blog. I first started my blog in 2015 and ran it well for 5 years. I never went "viral" and really it just made me happy. Unfortunately with 2020 came uncertainty and inconsistency so my anxiety crept into my blog. So I gave it up. I felt like I wasn't putting anything into it, which made me feel guilty so I let it go. But I've gotten my mental health back under control and am thrilled to start this journey... again

Why am I starting again

I missed having a space to go on about the things I love where my anxiety didn't creep in the way. I love sharing my thoughts with out worrying that I'm annoying the person I'm talking to. If you don't care then you can click off and its ok. I don't have to worry that you're stuck here under social expectations. Because I spend too much time worrying that I'm a burden.

What to expect?

What do you have to expect reading my blog? Well I will use my blog to share about my experiences with anxiety. how it effects me and how I cope, and how I help make it better. I'm also real excited to tell you all about the beauty tips, tricks and products that I am loving. There will also be bits and pieces mixed in about child care and cheer coaching and all kinds of other things. Really put in the comments what you wanna talk about and we will.

Get in touch!

So If you're interested in joining my chaotic anxious life that make sure you subscribe! You can also find me on social media at XoJohnnielynn. Let me know in the comments what you wanna talk about! I want this to be a safe space where we can all be friends,

Thanks for reading Bye

Life Lately: Mental Health, Career Growth, and Personal Reset

Finding My Way Back: Mental Health, Blogging, and Life Lately Welcome — A Little About Me Hi there! I’m Johnnielynn , and welcome to my lifestyle blog. This space is where I share my real, everyday life — my journey with mental health , life with an anxious dog , and my love for beauty and skincare products . When I’m not writing, I’m an infant/toddler teacher and a middle school cheerleading coach , which means my days are full of movement, noise, and a whole lot of heart. This blog is my creative outlet, a place where I can be honest, reflective, and hopefully relatable. Coming Back to Blogging (Again) Last year, I shared that I was getting back into blogging — and then anxiety had other plans. While I didn’t publish a single post, I did start many. Some were finished but never uploaded, others were left half-written. Writing has always helped me process anxiety, and I truly miss that release. So here I am, choosing to try again. M...

My anxious life

Good morning or evening I don't know when you logged on. My name is Johnnielynn and I am extremely anxious. I have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. Over my 34 years of life I've had to learn to cope and how to function not just with it but inspire of it. Where my anxiety began I don't know if my anxiety is a result of abandonment trauma or if it's a chemical imbalance. I do know that while I don't remember experienceing it until I was 7 my mom said I was much younger. When I was 3 my parents got a divorce. during that time and until my youngest sister was 3 we had a family councilor that was concerned with my self esteem, or lac of. My mom has told me that she was told to praise everything I did. "Johnnielynn you're sitting so nicely" "look how good you're..." I only remember being 7. I remember being in second grade, and every day I was crying because my tummy hurt. As soon as I was out of school I was happy...

I Took the CDA Exam… and It Was Not What I Expected

Hi hi! Guess who just finished taking their CDA exam ? Yep. Me. I did it!! 🎉 And let me tell you… I spent way too much time stressing about this exam. Which, if we’re being honest, is kind of ridiculous. I know the material. I’ve been working in childcare for almost two decades . I absolutely know what I’m doing. But somehow my brain still went into full overthinking mode . I had been preparing for weeks, so let’s talk about what the CDA exam experience was actually like. First, there’s the training and the portfolio. Uploading the CDA portfolio was its own adventure (and not always a fun one), but that’s a story for another post. Once that was finished, it was time to prepare for the exam. So naturally, I googled every free CDA practice test I could find . And I took all of them. Every single one. The weird part? They all felt too easy . Which immediately made me suspicious. Like… surely the real exam is harder than this? Am I bein...
