Diary of a Junebug

Cozy knits, cardamom donuts, and turtledove butterflies

There's something so warm and inviting about hand knitted stuff. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a knitter, but there's really something special about knitting things. With needles and yarn, the possibilities are endless!

This gyroid event is a cozy knitwear theme, a collaboration between Daisy Jane, Tiffani, and Rowan. Collecting gyroids around the camp has been putting me in the mood to knit again, specifically a big project.

It's been years since I've made a sweater but I really feel like making one. Sweaters tend to be a hit or miss with me, which is why I rarely make them. Measurements aren't my strong suit but they're a big deal if you're making clothes. Constant counting as well because you have to make sure you have the exact amount of stitches or else everything's off. Also, it takes commitment to make a sweater, even a simple one, so that's another reason why I stick to simple projects like scarves.

I'm in the process of looking up simple sweater patterns so let's see how long this spark of motivation lasts. Making a sweater can be frustrating and time consuming, but it really is rewarding when it's finally finished.

Tiffani and Rowan are here with us at the camp to join in on the event as well as take a well deserved vacation. I feel like it's been forever since I've seen either one - Tiffani had dropped by the camp a couple years ago while Rowan's been out and about traveling the world. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that they've been working on gyroid designs with Daisy Jane.

I'm glad to see many entourage members thriving, especially after things went downhill with the university. Tiffani started her own fashion line called Stellar where everything's ethically made and a good portion of the proceeds go to charities that help abuse victims. Being a survivor of child abuse, Tiffani puts a lot of time and effort to use her influence to spread awareness and resources to help those who need it.

Rowan, a figure skater, is the co-founder of Stellar. He too grew up in an abusive household and is also an activist for abuse victims as well as the trans community. He's got an interesting story, one of victory as he and a couple friends were responsible for taking down a corrupt fashion design label.

In fact, he's working on a memoir tentatively titled "How I Destroyed Traynor's By Being Super Fake". The title alone sounds like an interesting read. People have approached him for years about writing a book, something he was considering as he had a lot to say about his father and stepmother. By now enough time has passed that his ex-family are beyond caring so he can freely talk about them without dealing with their associates threatening him.

Rowan always had a complicated relationship with his father. His mother died of cancer when he was ten and he never forgave his father for not letting him say goodbye to her. Not too long after that Wilfred married his mistress Caitlin and Rowan gained two step-siblings, Portia and Chad. Wilfred and Caitlin created Traynor's Fashion, an elite luxury label that developed quite a reputation.

Growing up in that household was torture for Rowan, so he left as soon as he could. He found solace in ice skating, an activity he and his mom bonded over. Rowan practiced for hours while his so-called family mocked him and eventually his efforts led to him getting a scholarship with a shot at a career in competitive figure skating.

Unfortunate circumstances and burnout forced Rowan to go back home, where he was known as the loser who couldn't kick it in the real world. Determined to get out, Rowan tried to work his way up in Traynor's, only to remember that hard work at a place like that won't get him anywhere, especially for someone like him. Rowan considered fashion design as a backup if figure skating didn't work out, but Traynor's was the absolute last place he wanted to start over. He only stayed for a few months before getting kicked out because of Portia and Chad.

Rowan would’ve been broke and homeless if it weren’t for aspiring fashion designers Victor, Ella, and Michele. The three were screwed over by Traynor’s and were trying to put together evidence to bring the company down. Victor used to work there before getting thrown under the bus in order for the company to save face. If it wasn't for that alone, Victor would've quit anyway because of the toxic environment and questionable ethics. Michele, another fashion designer, had her career end before it even started when Portia and Chad stole her work and accused her of plagiarism. Ella was the founder of Fairytale Castle, a small fashion company that ended up shutting down because friends of Wilfred and Caitlin were sent to harass her and sabotage her designs.

With Rowan on their side, exposing Traynor’s corruption became a reality. By disguising himself as a snooty fashion designer named Creighton Adcock, Rowan was able to infiltrate the studio. He wore a ridiculous getup and sported an exaggerated English accent - the more fake he came across, the more believable he was. It was pure torture, having to pander to his so-called family but it was so totally worth it.

The big expose took place on an important night for Traynor's and overnight the company fell. Spite and revenge had never been sweeter. Most of the employees as well as Rowan's ex-family were stacked with numerous charges like harassment, assault, embezzling, tax evasion, unethical practices, etc - they got what they deserved. Of course, there was backlash but once that died down, Rowan and the others were ready to move on.

Rowan went back to ice skating, though more for performance than competition - which was the reason why he almost quit in the first place. While posing as Creighton, Rowan had to sit through some shit, so to unwind, he would go out to the ice rink. Being on the ice made him realize how much he missed skating, though not the competition part. Rowan always says he's more of a performer than a competitor - the latter being the reason why he almost gave up because it took away the fun for him.

As for fashion, he does some design on the side like Tiffani. Then the two got together and launched Stellar earlier this year. He considers his relationship with fashion design as a sort of love-hate thing. For obvious reasons Rowan grew to resent it, especially when his father tried to force him into the business. He didn't hate it entirely, but when it's associated with people who failed to give you a good upbringing, it's hard to separate the two. Though since meeting Jamie and going back to skating, Rowan's slowly stepping back into the fashion design world after being on the fence about it for so long.

Joining forces with Tiffani and starting Stellar was unexpected. The partnership just came together and before they knew it, they were coming up with a bunch of ideas together. I honestly was surprised to hear from Jamie that Rowan was working on fashion designs. Then Stellar launched not too long after and it's actually been kinda therapeutic for Rowan and Tiffani.

I'm glad that both of them are out there living their best lives, far, far away from their abusers - most of whom are in jail, thankfully. They got lucky and after what they've been through, they want to do whatever they can to help other abuse victims. They're the kind of people who keep their word and they actively work to make the world a better place. No performative bullshit here.

Tiffani and Rowan have been here for a couple days now, enjoying the camp and all its lovely scenery. We've been collecting knit gyroids around the camp and checking in with OK Motors. Rowan had some car trouble so it was lucky that it managed to survive the long trip from Peace Coast to here. Since his car's pretty old, the repairs will take a while, which he doesn't mind. Beppe's also throwing in a free paint job so the car will be like new once it's finished.

Yesterday we went to the mountain trail, where not only we found gyroids, but also turtledove butterflies. They only show up around this time and after three years, I finally got to see them! I hardly venture around these parts because it's kinda out of the way but now I'm slowly expanding my horizons.

Turtledove butterflies are such majestic creatures. From the way they flutter about, their soft blue and white patterned wings contrasting nicely with the mountain view - like straight out of a lovely painting!

There's so much around the camp that I have yet to explore, I hope one day I'll know these places like the back of my hand.

Along the way and back we collected gyroids. Crafting gyroid furniture is always fun, seeing what kind of stuff we can make from them. I love the cozy knitwear aesthetic so much, it's easily one of my favorite themes! Tiffani, Rowan, and Daisy Jane did an amazing job with the designs. Given how much fun they had with the planning, there's likely going to be a second collaboration in the future, which I'm definitely looking forward to.

In between collecting gyroids and camp activities, we also got into knitting. That's why I've been in a knitting mood again. Rowan just learned how to knit last year and it's his new favorite hobby. He made a pair of leg warmers that look super snazzy, Tiffani's working on a cute beanie, Daisy Jane got started on a pretty lace scarf, and I just finished with a beaded headband.

Now I'm looking for sweater patterns and I already have some saved. Since I'm rusty with clothes, I'm sticking to something simple. The seed stitch ones are catching my eye as it's a simple pattern that looks nice, especially in pastel since that's what I've been into lately. Hopefully by tomorrow I have settled on a pattern so I can get started while I'm in the mood.

Today was a chill day where we stayed at the main camp. In between crafting, collecting, and camping, we baked donuts. I was kinda intimidated by donuts because it involves using the deep fryer but the whole process itself isn't too complicated. Making the dough was easy, using the deep fryer took some getting used to.

We made a bunch of different kinds - cardamom cream, apple cider, vanilla spice, and pumpkin pecan. The cardamom and vanilla ones are from Emilia Eats, the apple cider from Rustic Kitchen, and pumpkin pecan from Calico Bakery. They're all great, though if I had to choose, my favorite would be the cardamom cream. Pumpkin pecan comes a close second.

Since the donuts were a hit, we're thinking of baking cookies next. Tiffani wants to try out a black sesame recipe, Daisy Jane bookmarked a maple hazelnut recipe, Rowan has his eye on chocolate chip cheesecake cookies, and I always wanted to try earl grey shortbread.

Right now, we're enjoying donuts while knitting and crafting gyroids. Rowan's really becoming a pro at knitting as he wants to take on cables next. I kinda have a love-hate relationship with cables - they look good but take a bit of effort. I'll admit I haven't quite mastered them yet as I can't do a simple cable without having to refer to a pattern as a reference.

Warm, cozy knitwear and fresh baked goods - it doesn't get any better than that!

Whether you are interested in working jobs instead of a traditional job or simply to supplement your income, this article will help you learn about some current opportunities out there.

There are money making apps that suit all types of personalities, interests and lifestyles. In this article, I've outlined a few details that can help you discover the right opportunity for you.

While working on my research, I found that there are many of these applications and many opportunities everywhere to make some extra money in a wide variety of industries. Most apps are available for iOS or Android, making it easy to work from virtually anywhere. Most of these programs have certain age and rating restrictions, so you should choose the apps that suit you and your needs.

First, let's take a look at some of the most popular income-generating apps that you may already be familiar with. These include Khatriji, EmpireReEarn, Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, Gigwalk, GrubHub and Dogvacay etc as followed have proven their leadership in this growing new industry.

1. Empire ReEarn

Multiple income facilities in ER include self rotation income, referral rotation income, team rotation income and rewards. The ER user will not get the benefit of all that income until they join and complete their ER profile.

In addition to these income facilities, ER also offers online payment and charging services. You can recharge online for your mobile phone, DTH, data card, and you can also pay bills for your landline, broadband, electricity, gas pipeline via the ER app or the ER website: www.empirereearn.com.

2. Khatriji

Whenever the user signs up for Khatriji, buys the product from Khatriji and then joins one of the trees using the Khatriji product key, the user is called Skyomie or Khatriji. Skyomie can expand the tree by referring to her friends and family and if one of them buys Khatriji's product, Skyomie will also benefit from referral revenue. So a tree has been developed and Skyomie has the advantage of Earn More Income from several users it referred. This entire process is called "Your Own Money Creation Tree."

3. Slidejoy

This is a very simple app for Android owners that can show ads on the lock screen. Users are paid an average of $ 5 to $ 15 per month to place ads on their Android device's lock screen. Every time the user looks at their phone, they see a card with news or promotion. Users can swipe left for more information, up to view another map, or right to use the phone normally. A simple way to make extra money without even thinking about it.

4. Swagbucks

Swagbucks allows users to earn rewards (gift cards or cash) by shopping online, watching fun videos, playing games, searching the web and completing surveys. Users can redeem points earned from gift cards at their favorite stores, such as Amazon and Walmart, or even get cash back from PayPal.

5. iPoll

iPoll allows users to complete online surveys to earn money and other rewards such as gift cards. Users are paid to tell iPoll what they think about the products and services you use every day. The options are available on your mobile device from the comfort of your home.

6. GrubHub

Need a quick bite but too busy to buy something quickly? GrubHub allows you to pick up your food and deliver it to your door. Many restaurants and shops now work with the GrubHub app, giving users in their area many options for delicious food, and the concert staff has a lot of potential to make money.

There are some requirements to register, drivers must be over 19 years old, have more than 2 years of driving experience, check an account and have a valid driver's license (or ID if you ride a bike), have an iPhone iOS 8 or higher or have an Android 4.0 or higher and passed a background check. As with Uber and Lyft, many GrubHub drivers also work through the Uber Eats app to make sure they are busy when on the clock.

All of these well-known money-making apps require the employee to leave the house, but here are some other gig options you can complete while still in your pajamas. Some of these may fall into the 'money-saving apps' category, but they are definitely worth considering because a dollar saved is a dollar earned, right?

7. DogVacay

DogVacay is an app my family personally tested. We were able to open our home to local dogs while his family was on vacation. Dogs can be guests with a host family and live in the comfort of home while their owners are away. Hosts can set the dates they have available for an additional four-legged friend, set restrictions for specific breeds, and even set their own rate for their services. We personally thought it was a fun experience and our dogs loved having a new friend hanging out and playing. DogVacay recently partnered with the Rover app, which focuses on similar services and also enables dog walking services. No doubt this is the buzz of a dog lover.

8. Gigwalk

Gig walk is an application that allows users to earn a little of money to take a photo or record data while running errands. The Gig walkers are basically helping with merchandising duties and confirming that the product displays in the store are handled correctly. Users can take on as much or as little contract work as they want by connecting with local businesses that need their skills.

Download the app on your smartphone, register your account and then simply request the concerts you see on the map or list in your area. Concerts pay between $3 and $100 and can range from a few minutes to a few hours. Once you complete the concert, you will be paid via PayPal. The concerts have been published by mega companies such as Google, Red Bull and Unilevel who want to generate data at locations far from their headquarters.

9. TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is another popular and flexible money making app. With TaskRabbit, you can use your various skills to make money with the TaskRabbit app and website. You can perform tasks in person, or you can do them remotely with virtual tasks - there are a wide variety of tasks, such as building Ikea furniture, repairing sprinkler systems, or researching online. Benefits vary from job to job and give employees the flexibility to choose options that suit their capabilities.

10. Lyft

Lyft is the other mega app in the rides room. While their service area is a bit more limited than Uber's, they offer a very similar service and an opportunity to monetize users of the app. Payment for drivers through Lyft is a bit more generous, so this may be a better option for drivers in larger metropolitan areas. Many drivers work for both companies to optimize their time and get as many trips as possible while available for work. Like Uber, drivers must meet minimum background, age, and auto-check requirements.

11. Uber Eats

Uber recently launched UberEats, which allows drivers to pick up food in addition to driving around town. Drivers can now complete deliveries when travel options are slow and may be tipped in the process. And Offers By one get free on some orders

12. Uber

Uber is one of the best known mega companies in the world of money making apps. This ride-sharing app allows employees to use their own car to pick up Uber app users per ride. There are some rules and restrictions for becoming a director; You must be 21 or older, have a 2001 or newer car (2006 or newer in some cities), and you must pass a background check. Drivers can use the app when it suits them and quickly find users who need transportation in their area. Drivers can earn between $19 and $35 an hour, possibly more if drivers work during rush hours or on holidays.

How To Choose The Best Money App For You

Not every app here is ideal for everyone. Some considerations are made when evaluating money making applications.

We use this method to create this list. Let me explain what and how you can measure these things according to your personal needs.

Pay the amount

Most apps don't get you rich. Many of them did not even qualify as part-time jobs or side hostels.

Select the application based on where you want to receive payment. For example, if you want to earn hundreds or thousands of dollars per month, you can't do it by filling out a survey. You're better off using apps like Uber, Khatriji, Empirereearn, Lyft or Taskerabit.

In such applications, the salary is higher in terms of amount. To try

The next thing you have to do is decide how much effort you want to put into it.

Do you want to do small tasks with your smartphone while sitting in bed or at a coffee shop? Or do you want to go to retail stores, drive, meet buyers face to face, and do some manual labor yourself?

The amount of effort to do something is directly related to the amount paid. Moving furniture on Taskarabit pays more than completing a two-minute survey.

Method and frequency of payment

Some apps allow you to pay with cash. In most cases, cashout is facilitated by payment. But there are some apps that will mail you a check.

Other apps don't offer cash but reward you with a gift card.

Again, you can't escape a handful of Starbucks or Target gift cards. But if you’re doing some small tasks on the side, it will be perfect for your time.

There are redemption restrictions on some monetized apps. You cannot remove the cache whenever you want. So review the payment frequency and full terms before you start.

Fees and initial investment

Many of the apps on our list are free. But some you need to pay.

For example, an acorn membership can cost up to 3 per month. Mercury charges a 10% commission to facilitate all sales in its market.

Overall, these fees and the initial investment are very low. But if you don’t want to spend any money, stick to the free app.

App reputation

Do your best before downloading any Earn More Income mobile app. Make sure the app has lots of positive reviews. Read negative reviews to see what unhappy users have to say.

You can usually sign up for these apps with just one email address. Applications for obtaining sensitive information can be a potential scam.

Many of the apps on our list promise that they haven't sold your data. So if privacy is important to you, stick to that reputable app.

Making money from apps in 2020 has never been easier. Use the apps I listed above to get started.

Do Earn more income Apps Really Work?

Yes! You probably. You do not have the permission required to post.

Which apps pay you the most in 2021?

Gig apps like Khatriji, Empirereearn, Lyft or Taskerabit will always allow you to make more money than survey apps or apps like Sweetcoin.
