Welcome Back! & Digital Detox

 WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!!

Wow, a week break from blogging felt a lot longer. If I'm being honest, I didn't think I would miss it as much as I did! I think blogging is a great way to interact with one another and I liked reading about everyone's thoughts about new tools or sharing new media. For instance, before our break, I read a blog post about the new Netflix K-Pop Demon Hunters. Without that blog post I would've never known about it, but some of my friends were talking about it and I immediately knew what they were talking about. With some friends over Fourth of July weekend, we decided to check it out. I originally didn't think it was something that I would've loved, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought the songs were catchy and the storyline was pretty cute. My 11 year old cousin also has high praise about it, and has already watched it SIX times since it's been released!

Over our blog break, I also decided to FINALLY participate in the detox we were encouraged to take. Was it hard? Yes. Was it nice? Also yes. Did I last the whole day? No. I have to admit though, stepping away from the phone was really nice. I was able to do things that I had been wanting to do without the distraction of a phone. I played board games with some friends, read my book, and took a nice nap! I even made a salmon bowl for dinner! Granted, I had gotten the idea of the salmon bowl from TikTok but in my defense I had seen the video forever ago and already knew how to make it, so no social media was technically used! I think integrating digital detox days into my life would be really beneficial. I don't think I could do them all the time, because let's face it, I am addicted to social media, but I think once or twice a month would be really nice and would really allow me to stop and smell the roses. What did you guys get around to doing over our blog break? Did anyone try out the digital detox? Thoughts? Have a great day everyone and I'm so excited to read everyone's blogs again!
