My Thoughts on Influencers
What do you think of when you hear “influencer” uttered? Do you think of MrBeast ( I hope not) or Like Nastya (too young for you, I hope)? Or do you imagine a bevy of people on YouTube trying to convince you to buy “the most comfortable sneakers ever”? Maybe this is you, scrolling through the YouTube rabbit hole after a long slog.
An influencer is described as a system where people earn money or aspire to earn it from content they put online; it is also where they endorse a brand or product.
These influencers could be experts, artists, gamers, fitness gurus, beauticians, teachers and parents. (Understandable if you are averse to watching your teacher on screen.) Being engaged with an online community can boost their sales or . . .provide more views on their Twitch account?
How did the influencer trend start? Why, with Beth Moncel! In 2009, when she began work at Whole Foods, she was a fresh college graduate. Long story short, her blogging adventure was born when she blogged about recipes. Over a decade after her website launch, she has since retired from it.
In the past decade, with the global growth of Instagram and Pinterest, people have documented their lives through video and photo footage. Memory lane . . .
Influencers make their money through ads, paid posts, subscriptions, sponsors, and affiliate links. It is their goal to influence mindsets, as well as behaviors, take action, and purchase the products they promote.
Relatable, young people want to earn money by doing something they love. A survey from 2023 found that 1 in 4 in the Gen Z era aspire to make a career from influencing. The life of one is being invited to events and getting things for free; it sounds appealing enough to become a professional in this, does it not? You document your life each day (even the most mundane parts). Hours are spent each week making content to then upload to whatever social media accounts you use.
With more and more influencers turning up, social media gets bombarded with seemingly everybody joining the content creator crowd. It comes with consequences, like anything in life. Such as where a chunk of one’s followers are actually bots.
My take on this industry: I hate influencers. The idea of your life revolving around how many views you receive. It’s something I understand but mostly don’t. Relying on followers to pay you. Spending endless hours creating content so to please those who watch you. For me, it isn’t just how involved it is in the process, but the title! A professional influencer? Of what, pet food? Isn’t that what the Farmer’s Dog is for?😁
I imagine a situation where a creator (one of few synonyms found for describing such a person) experiences technical difficulties to the point where their device has to be serviced at the store. They’re rushing the tech expert to hurry up to find the issue because “I need to upload another video by tonight.”😲 Relying on your audience will bring unnecessary pressure and disappointments, I assume.What about the creators who challenge themselves? “I watched all these Miley Cyrus movies, so you don’t have to!” (Yes, the distant days when Ms. Cyrus starred on the big screen.) “I spent hundreds of $ on Temu”; “I spent 24 hours of my life in Little Italy.”
The trends–the crazy, time-wasting trends! Diets, makeup hacks, and fashion tips are more searchable on social media than, say, duckduckgo. Leave it to an influencer to advise you on how to live your life? Let’s go! Convince me why I should be a tradwife and not find work. (I am not a mom, and I do not judge moms who have to stay at home. I am judging the ones who refuse to go out to work and love their homebody lives!)
Tradwife is a stupid term from 2018 that describes. . . you know, look it up. I’d rather not waste time writing about it.
Why have influencers tell you how you should live life? Is it that satisfying to spend hours staring at your phone? That way, you don’t miss the latest content? Is it worth your precious time? At all?Sources:

What I’m Doing Now
It’s been a while, peeps!
Now that we’re going into December, I, like many people, have my plate full.
Here’s what’s happy happening with me:
I’m thinking of writing another Babyland. I’ve barely started work on it, but I am in the brainstorming stage now.
Can’t think too well now.
I’m conjuring up a short story and that is still in the brainstorming stage as well. That’s probably not the right term to use . . .
I don’t have an idea of when these will be completed. However, there will certainly be more content from me in the future! I’d love to have two works published in the same year!
That is all I have for you as of now.
Peace out!

All the Reasons Why I Won’t Be Watching Fate: The Winx Saga
Hey there, everyone! Welcome to my blog post! This is still the Babyland newsletter, just with pizzaz added to it.
Last week, I briefly discussed Winx Club and Fate: The Winx Saga. Today, let me prepare you.
If you are a huge fan or a so-so fan of the adaptation, please skip this post. I’m entitled to my opinion, as you are. Going by the litany of disappointed fans and negative reviews, I obviously agree with them; therefore, I list my own reasons why I don’t agree with the latest adaptation of WINX.
Spoilers are included. Read with caution, loves!
*I read reviews, watched commentary on YouTube, watched trailers for both seasons, and read up on both TV shows to get a feel for whether I’d like to watch Fate. Can’t say I’m interested after I researched all that.Let’s start with what the show does not include:
1) Close friendship
Yo, I’m not seeing the warm, close-knit, friendly friendship! From the looks of it, the girls don’t bond and go their separate ways. Animated WINX should teach the live-action series a lesson.2) Home planets
YEAH, HOME PLANET! Mine is Earth, what’s yours! Each fairy from the cartoon series had a residence from another planet, including Bloom, who resided on Earth for much of her life until she learned over time, she originated from a magical dimension named Domino. Now, on Netflix, in the world of Fate: The Winx Saga, planets have been removed and replaced by realms all compressed together. Where be sparkly magical world?3) Wings
Someone forgot their pair of wings! An angel without wings is ludicrous. A fairy without wings is ridiculous! According to the Netflix adaptation, fairies used to have them. Yeah? I used to be a mermaid; now, I can get by with half a tail transformation and continue to swim in the water—still a mermaid.4) Magical creatures
While the creator of Winx Club himself, Iginio Straffi, wanted an adult-themed, live-action version of Winx Club, I don’t understand why that meant making the version into a dark version. Unicorns, pixies, dragons, fairy pets, or ogres don’t appear to make the cut for his latest fairy project. Bloom’s firepower counts! She comes from the Dragon Flame! There’s your magical creature! Nailed it, Netflix!
In my opinion, it’d be adorable for a computer-generated pixie to appear on the screen. It’s been done before.5) Tecna and Flora
In our prevalent reality of omnipresent technology, what GIVES with the erasure of Tecna, fairy of technology? As for Flora, she doesn’t make an appearance until Season 2! She’s practically a late-comer to the Winx! She may, yes, have been added to the series (finally), but her arrival in Season 2, not Season 1, makes me quickly say, “I’m out!”6) Brandon and Timmy
Pro: the Specialists are included. Con: original members are subtracted. The Winx Saga writers must love to eschew from the original story. Brandon was one of the prominent Specialists, and Timmy might have been the most essential to the crew as he was adroit with technology. Thinking it over, Tecna is absent from this show, and she was Timmy’s love. Then again, we have Stella, who dated Brandon in the first show, but her heart lies with Sky . . .7) Hovercraft
Synonymous with the tech we saw Tecna use all the time, The Winx Saga leaves no reminder of the hovercraft in their series. Cars are the norm. Basic, are we?8) Cloud Tower
Headmistress Griffin and her witch students, along with their school, were killed off in the “grown-up” Winx Club. My heart goes out to them.Follow me, and let’s look at what the hell has changed!!!
9) “Flora” and Musa
The new “Flora” of Netflix’s Fate is Terra. Flora is mentioned in Season 1 as a cousin to Terra. What what? This would be a flip flop, except in the animated counterpart, Flora had a sister named Miele. With Terra in place of Flora, it doesn’t fly with me. Pun intended. Over to Musa: The Winx Saga writers relegated her from a fairy of technology to an empath fairy who feels others’ emotions. Those headphones she wears are to work against her abilities rather than acting as a source of her magic. Cartoon Musa made sense!10) “Diversity”
I’ve had a look over the extended cast, and there is diversity. Applause! However, look closely enough, and you’ll see precisely where casting screwed up. Wow, one black character in the overall major Winx characters. I don’t find this up to snuff. Was there difficulty hiring an Asian actress for Musa and a Latina actress for Flora, or more like, Terra? Write to me, Netflix!11) Wardrobe
Explain how this is a young-adult version of Winx when the girls are supposed to be the same age as their cartoon counterparts. Further, the teens on the Netflix saga don’t dress as much as teen girls do. The fashion is quite blah. Surprisingly, I am fond of the outfits from the original TV show. For the Netflix original series, skimpy outfits would do. That’s how girls from my high school dressed, anyway.12) Accents
Read this twice in case I’ve offended you: I have no problem with British accents. It’s in a story written like Fate, where characters who come from all over share the same accent, does it piss me off. Harry Potter characters can get away with it for the straightforward reason that they live in England. For Fate: The Winx Saga, where everyone has the same accent (but not Bloom), makes the creators look like they are striving for unimpressionable sophistication.13) Trix
We got no wings; we got no Cloud Tower; we got no Trix! The destructive trio of witches made the animated Winx so enjoyable to watch. Come on over to live-action Winx, and one has made it to the small screen. Her name isn’t any of the original Trixes: it’s Beatrix. Beatrix dies already by Season 1. To screw this up more so, she’s a flippin’ fairy!14) Evil headmistress
What I love about Winx Club (I have plenty of seasons left to watch) is the presence of the sincere, kind headmistress named Faragonda. Faragonda protected the girls and strived for them to be powerful fairies. Enter Fate: the world of Alfea has changed its tune by replacing her with a headmistress who isn’t what she seems to be.15) Relationships
Stella goes for Sky, Bloom’s BF? Riven has his eyes set on Beatrix and not Musa? Where did these effed-up relationships come from?? I find it cringe-worthy! Sky and Bloom were such a power couple in animated Winx! Just put Sky with Bloom and Musa with Riven–properly–end of story!16) No crown
I was surprised to learn that in Season 2 of the 2004 series, the newcomer Winx–Layla/Aisha–was a princess. Switch to the 2021 series, no princess Aisha. Stella keeps her crown. Can’t say the same about Bloom, but I’m not picking favorites here.17) Added characters
All these unnecessary brand-new characters, even a fill-in for a Specialist, when surely there was room for a Specialist named Brandon, make the show unrecognizable to the highest degree. Around this point, I fail to see how this is Winx Club in flesh and blood.18) Parents
2004 Bloom had a warm, supportive relationship with her adoptive parents. In that version, she was adopted after her adoptive father discovered her safely protected by a magical shield. That shield protected her from fire, which broke out around her. In the gloomy Netflix version, she’s switched with another baby. Somehow her parents didn’t know that. :/ Not dark enough? Her power unleashes in her house and on one of her parents, nearly killing them. Thankfully, Winx Club didn’t turn down that dark path. While original Bloom’s power was magic, I look over at adapted Bloom, and I get more of a sense she’s a mutant and not a fairy.19) Stella
In the lovely Winx Club, Stella wasn’t perfect, for she made comments about those around her, was highly opinionated, and snapped when she didn’t get her way. Through it all, her habit of cracking jokes, standing up for her friends, courageousness, and kindness is the polar opposite compared to the live-action Winx Club. Hell, going after her friend’s boyfriend is not Stella at all! Her rudeness, mean attitude, and lack of loyalty to her friends turn me away.20) Moody and gloomy
A young-adult-themed Winx Club didn’t have to be dark, rife with snappy, uneasy-going teenagers who drink and mention gays. LGBTQ is the norm in television nowadays; refer to social media and Harry Potter, as though that’s the single most appropriate reference for a magical fantasy series. It could have turned out similar to Mean Girls, embracing the colorful set design and outfits for each character that is both on-point for their style, age, and period. The magic deserved a more magical essence than popping up like mutant abilities. The girls definitely could have acted nicer to each other and accepted one another faster.
Harry Potter did a fantastic job going from page to screen. The writers of Fate: The Winx Saga did not have such a laborious task. Yet they mistook that grown-up fans of the original Winx would love a stress-inducing, eerie take on the beloved show in live-action.Admittingly, Fate looks cool, but I don’t get that same feeling of Winx when I look at it. I see gloom and death and so-so friendships. If you like the show, good for you. I’m going to be sticking with the beloved, colorful Winx Club!

Books I Recently Added to My TBR List (As Recent as 2021)
From my (usually) weekly newsletter.
Howdy, fellow fellows! Exsqueeze me for not having a newsletter out last week. Baby and her friends have been dragging me to and fro to coach their end-of-summer activities. Gosh, are they dumb! I’m talking about both the activities and the babies!

Book Blogs I Adore and Follow
(This is taken from my newsletter, Welcome to Babyland, which I try to dish out every Wednesday)
I’ve got something twuly, twuly exciting for ya, and it’s called Book Blogs! While I don’t stalk them every day, and though I don’t blog constantly, I kind of want to change that up.
First thingys first: I’m slightly changing the game here on my newsletter. Since I do not have any new Babyland content, I will rectify this newsletter into one more about reading. That’s not to say I am done with Babyland; I need to spend ample time creating my subsequent published work, and as any author knows, that takes time.
Funny Baby: As much time as making a new baby???
Eileen: Listen, you twit, I haven’t even started telling them about the blogs I follow! Go be a baby somewhere!
Eileen *Back to audience*: Here we go! Out of respect for the book blogs, I won’t show you screenshots of the blogs.
I’ll begin by spouting how I admire Tracy’s website logo first! I get those nighttime garden vibes when I look at it. I can feel myself grasping those flowers above her logo.
Focus, Eileen! As of May of this year, Tracy is on hiatus from blogging. There are plenty of blogs written by her, where you can spend an afternoon reading. To clarify, if you’ve signed up for her newsletter, you won’t receive a new one for a while.
Baby: DO YOU HAVE ANY BREASTMILK?!
Eileen: WHY WOULD I HAVE BREASTMILK?!
Baby: Because we’re like, this. Baby crosses her finger
Eileen: For God’s sake, Baby, why don’t you order some?!
*Baby moves away from her, sulking*
Eileen *Back to audience*: Baby–Tracy lists blogs she stalks, probably putting it lightly. I’d stalk more blogs, but writing life.
I love her features menu, a customized page on her blog. There are pages on popular books that got makeovers, books for peeps who do not read YA, e-readers vs. physical books, and WAY more!
What I have not seen elsewhere, or at least not common at all, are the labels she lists for each blog post (tags, in other words) at the very bottom of her blog.
Seriously, book bloggers are cool! My last word on Tracy before I go on, according to her about me page, she makes book slipcases in her spare time. Not sure what that is? I’ll say it’s a Halloween costume for a book. Kidding.
2) Drizzle and Hurricane Books
I find this book blog, run by two sisters, a plentiful source for novice book bloggers. Not every book blogger offers tips on getting started in this field. I don’t, as I don’t. . .make . . .time. . . for it.
Yeah, I won’t talk about me.
I took notes from their blog before I started blogging. I’d say if you have an interest in learning in doing so, follow in the steps of a book blogger who’s been doing it for some time. They don’t have to be a professional–as in, a lawyer or publishing professional. They don’t need to be an author!
Aside from their blogging resources, the images they include in each post say “professional” all over it . . . and now I wonder if I’m the only one who pays attention to those details.
A link to their shop is on top of their menu, taking you to their favorite books. For each book you buy, they earn a small commission.
*Crawling into the room is Sleepy Baby. Her eyes shut, she bumps into Eileen’s legs.*
Eileen *To Sleepy Baby*: Sleepy Baby, may I help you?
Sleepy Baby: I had a nightmare.
Eileen: Yeah? Tell me about this nightmare.
Sleepy Baby: A doctor told me to drink more caffeine to feel more awake. Why would I want to drink caffeine?
Eileen: You wouldn’t want to be up–
*Sleepy Baby drifts off to sleep next to Eileen’s legs*
*Eileen shifts her to the side and dropkicks her away. Back to audience*: Sorry. As mentioned, Drizzle and Hurricane is a sister blog. The other sister lists her own blog posts on here, so you get a feel of which sister likes what in literature.
Moreover, at the bottom of their shared blog, websites for buying books are listed, as these young ladies have affiliations with a couple of companies.
I haven’t visited this blog too much; nonetheless, it’s another I’d love to explore for an hour or more.
Though I realized today that the writer of this blog hadn’t written a post since 2020, the website copyright is newly updated. Follow her blog anyway! Her goodreads account is updated!
ReadWriteLove28 has book memes, such as Top Ten Tuesday, which are reviews written on that day of the week. The books she’s listed are awesome, and I know I will add them to my towering TBR list because of this particular category.
More! Novel Newcomers features book bloggers new to the field, giving us an introduction to, well, it’s explained here, isn’t it??
Fashion Baby: Before you say anything else, what about those faux leather leggings you told me about?
Eileen: Uh, what now?
Fashion Baby: The cute leather–
Eileen: Faux leather, red leather, yellow leather, leather, leather leggings?
Fashion Baby: You’re cute when you joke around. When you’re finished running for a seat, you’re taking me out to buy them.
Eileen: I’m not, actually.
Fashion Baby: Bitch. Such a bitch!
Eileen *Back to audience*: That was fun! What’s the next one?
4) Bibliosmile (formerly Novels & Waffles)
Wow, this has to be the artsiest blog I’ve ever laid eyes on! The blogger, Kat, is one cool chick! She lives in Japan, and she’s designed this very blog by herself (hence the adorable/coolness of her blog design), and get this: she works to help book bloggers design their blogs!!!
She’s your teach if ya wanna grow your book blog or climb up to monetize your blog! Wait, there’s more: she’s got a buttload of book blogs for you to follow (why don’t you download the list instead–yes, you!), blog bloggers for you to guest blog on, and . . .
Holy woly, the list of YA books for you to drool over. Get instant access to that by signing up for her delicious newsletter. You don’t have to; her lists are accessible on her sweet website (sweet as in, I crave sweets by looking at it).
Before the last stop on this list, she helps you out with a list of upcoming novels.
Nature Baby: Would you like to participate in saving the narwhals?
Eileen: Not–right now, Nature Baby. Sorry.
Nature Baby: “Sorry” is a sorry excuse. Yes or no, to save the narwhals?
*Eileen skims over the poster board Nature Baby is struggling to keep on holding: a drawing of a narwhal (a bloody one) in the center of the board, and underneath are all types of desperate calls to action.*
Eileen: Where am I signing?
Nature Baby: This petition. *Nature Baby holds out a yellow sheet of paper.*
*Eileen scribbles her signature on it*: Alright, get lost.
Nature Baby: They will if we don’t protect them. Thank you, Eiween.
Last on the list, this packed blog leans more towards book tours. Besides that, it’s giveaways and book lists galore! On the web since 2011, scroll about this book blog until your eyes blur.
The writer of this here blog keeps a heavy presence on social media, from goodreads to bloglovin. After stalking her blog, you might yourself following her on one to three of her social media handles.

I Caught This in My Sims 4 Game!
Wha up? It hasn’t been too long since I wrote a Sims blog post. Nope. Recently I scrolled through my short list of Sim posts and came back to the screenshots I snapped of my Sims.
As of exactly a week ago, I played with my Sims again, and I’m happy to say it was relaxing to find the time to do so! I’m working it out as I troubleshoot to get my mods back to where they need to be. Since EA does not screen mods, it takes time to contrive, and mods are bound to fail anyway.
Back to my Barbie Sims . . .
this first unexpected encounter could have been more exciting had I turned it into a photograph. Then again, I should grow used to how flippant the Sims are.
Make sense? Nah.
This took me by surprise! Never had it in my game before! Looky look! A sea monster! It has sea monster vibes written all over it! It’s moving like an upside-down sea turtle!Whatever it was, it never even attacked Stacie! It remained under her bed. Rather than a sedate bedtime, a Jaws prop emerges!
Funny, it scared her! Stacie hurried over to Skipper, and on my screen, there was an option for “monster spray.”
Anything can scare a Sim, no?
Stacie’s monster!!! Sometime after that “scare” Stacie experienced, I pondered how to make Barbie more social. Barbie is no introvert on my watch! I took her to the gym (upon writing this, I remembered I keep gym equipment at their Sim house, but that’s not the point).
Yay for me–mainly for Barb–she took to a treadmill! I learned a while back, before I played the Sims 4, that Sims have the ability to chat with other Sims and exercise simultaneously. Barbie girl did just that. . .
and made a grand performance of sliding off of it!Barbie, I did not bestow you with the clumsy trait! What made you fall?!
I love how she shook her head and resumed her exercise!
That’s what makes the Sims 4 reign supreme–they WILL surprise you when they do their own thing!
I’ll keep you posted on my Barbie Sims! In case you aren’t aware, I have Tumblr: eilbirish.tumblr.com.
Bye, all!
