Self-Care Saturdays: Awkwardly Uneven but Totally Worth It

-

Hey there, it’s your girl behind the blog, Awkwardly Introverted!

It’s a lazy Saturday, and I’m taking some much-needed time to relax and give myself a facial. Granted, it’s awkwardly put on and hilariously uneven, but that’s part of the charm, right? Self-care doesn’t have to look perfect—it just has to feel good!

Oh, and guess what? It snowed just a little bit today! To be honest, I was hoping for a little more snow—but not like upstate NY or Midwest levels (I’m not ready for that kind of winter chaos). For now, I’m making do with my YouTube fireplace paired with a snowy background video to set the vibe. It’s cozy and just what I need.

Speaking of cozy, I’m about to dive back into my hockey romance book 📖⛸️⛸️🏒🥅 because, let’s be real, that’s about as much action as I get these days. LMAO. 🫢🤭🫠🤣😂 For some reason, I find myself reading hockey romances more than any other sport—don’t ask me why, it’s just what I gravitate toward! This one was a random pick from my Goodreads TBR list, and honestly, those are often the most fun surprises.

What about you all? How’s your Saturday going? Are you relaxing, running errands, or doing something fun? Share your plans or your go-to self-care rituals—I’d love to hear from you!

Until next time, stay awkward, stay introverted, and take care of yourself.

💜

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
