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...

New Year, New Beginnings

 Happy new years! New Year, new beginnings. Beginnings are always my favorite. I don't know there's just something about the start that brings me joy. It's a fresh start, a sign to let go of the negativity from before. Literally Mondays are my favorite, when I'd had a week where I can't seem to do anything right I know that I can start over.  Reflecting on last year 2024 was a good year, I'd gotten so many opportunities. Probably the best thing that could happen was getting my "Dream job". Ok so yes I'd been working in child care already I was essentially a nanny for a couple of sweet kiddos, but it was more babysitting especially financially. Don't get me wrong I made enough to cover my necessities, but there wasn't much room for extras. And I was working insane house, 12-16 hours a day on top of trying to coach cheerleading. So in march I made the hardest choice yet, and decided to accept a job at a daycare center. It was the best thing I...

CDA Update: Send Help (and Snacks)

Hi hi 👋 I’m Johnnielynn, toddler teacher, professional snack opener, and certified chaos coordinator. I’ve been working in childcare for almost 20 years now. I actually started babysitting my niece and some other kids, and no matter what I tried doing in between, I always somehow ended up back with tiny humans. Apparently this is my calling. Two years ago I took a job at a childcare center and honestly? Best decision ever. I work for a genuinely good company with an owner who actually cares about the kids  and  her staff (rare, we love to see it). I genuinely enjoy going to work, which feels illegal to admit. About a year ago they asked me to get my CDA so I could officially lead my classroom. And because I apparently enjoy stress, I said yes. For anyone who doesn’t know, getting your CDA means: 120 hours of training 480 hours of experience A competency exam A portfolio A verification visit Probably a few mental breakdowns sprinkled in for ✨growth✨ Last January I went absolut...
