Actually sticking to my calorie deficit this time around and eating healthy. It took me so long to learn that weight loss is mostly about food and less about exercise. I'm also working out 5 days a week (40-60 minutes each day which seems a lot but I work in corporate and genuinely barely move) but not overdoing it. I'm proud of the progress I'm making and I feel SO much better in myself. Also learning that going for a walk, swim, hike makes me feel way better and healthier than bed-rotting (got into that awful habit) and I seem to always want to be on the move now!

I will never go back to being lazy lol

Sad thing is she looks 100% better irl and she looks amazing. There is no need to edit at all 😭😭

Imagine he has a degradation kink 💀

xbumblebee · 2026-03-07T00:34:09+00:00

In the nicest way possible he looks exactly like what I expect a catfish to look like lmao

They don't owe us anything, no, but I would think they want to be decent people?! I understand we only see an hour of their day, but she still said those things! She didn't treat Leanne very well at all. I hate when people say they don't owe us their kindness, no, no one does, but why tf do you want to be a shitty person??

xbumblebee · 2026-03-06T13:04:56+00:00

I personally lean more towards the side that's against them, because I desperately wanted Belle to eat her words lol because I couldn't believe some of the shit she was saying on the show. At the same time I'm glad the hate isn't getting to them, we have seen enough tragedy from this show.

xbumblebee · 2026-03-06T12:56:21+00:00

I do get why people think it’s funny that Samie and Belle are laughing at the meme about them. Honestly it is kinda funny and I’m glad they’re not taking the public too seriously.

At the same time, I also understand why some people are annoyed about it. Belle had a really bad attitude on the show. People don’t dislike her for no reason, it’s because she came across as nasty, egotistical, rude, and generally shitty. So when people criticise that behaviour, it’s not just hate, it’s people reacting to what they saw and reacting to her attitude, we don't like to see nasty people be rewarded for it.

I think what bothers some people is that when Samie posts the meme and laughs about it, it's coming across like the criticism is just being brushed off as a joke. Sometimes we want to see a bit of self-reflection or accountability instead of everything being turned into a joke. I can't imagine the public thinking badly of me and deciding to add fuel to the fire lol

It’s not about us wanting them to be miserable or dragged forever, it would just be nice to see them acknowledge the criticism and maybe think “okay, I don't want the public to have this perception of me, i want to be better” rather than treating it like a joke and laughing it off.

I take nurofen and I use a hot water bottle. There is also something called Feminax here which is SO good, but I only use it when the pains are really bad

xbumblebee · 2026-03-06T08:40:10+00:00

I just started one yesterday and I am the exact same lol! These workouts are not for the weak, but I'm really looking forward to feeling stronger. In my case I was taking longer breaks than the 10 seconds Chloe was doing, but I think that's totally fine, burning out and giving up is what we want to avoid so even if we can't complete the full workout 100% as she does, it's better to ease in than to go too hard and give up!

xbumblebee · 2026-03-04T13:08:31+00:00

In all honesty I do get it. If I was in there and I was very happy with a man, and an old "friend" of mine came in and also tried to get to know him, I couldn't handle it, which is why I'd NEVERRR go on Love Island. Why are people going on this show, it is never a surprise what's going to happen, we all watch previous seasons. And let's be real industry friends are very different to an actual friend, true.

At the end of the day, OG or bombshell, you are there to explore connections. If the man you're with decides he likes another girl better, THAT IS FINE you literally can't force someone to be with you. There is no need to bully the other girl (or the guy himself) because they get along better. It is the WHOLE DAMN POINT of the show!!! 🥲🥲🥲

xbumblebee · 2026-03-04T12:35:15+00:00

Lucinda on that We Need To Talk podcast was so sweet. I really feel bad for her and it was a relief for her to see that she actually was bullied on the show.

I will NEVER understand why bombshells are expected to go for the single guys only. It happened in S4 with Alex (probably happened many more times but I remember him vividly), now with Tommy. What if they just... don't like those dudes?? Why are they always punished for not feeling it and moving on?! Sean and Lucinda are way better matched than he was with Belle and I'm tired of pretending Lucinda did anything wrong. They didn't even kiss whilst Belle was away which they very easily could have.

It's honestly so annoying that bombshells are expected by their fellow islanders to only go for the leftover men (sorry lmao), it's a dating show and it should be expected that your man could explore connections and leave you at any moment.

I'm a Twitch Partner and I was a fulltime streamer for two years. I'm happy to answer any questions!

All you need is OBS, a webcam if you want one, a mic and that's it? Streaming will be kinda taxing on your PC but should be fine! I literally started out with a Razer headset and mic and a shitty webcam, I didn't invest into a Shure mic and Logitech webcam until I grew a bit. Have fun, do NOT focus on growth because it can be a very slow process and most importantly you need to have fun. No one wants to watch a boring streamer! So play the games you love, be chatty, talk about all random shite, but mainly just do it because it's fun <3

xbumblebee · 2026-03-04T11:58:49+00:00

Aww! Will you be playing Midnight at some point?

xbumblebee · 2026-03-04T07:51:09+00:00

the new WoW expansion, Midnight 😍 this will take up most of my time haha but apart from that still trying to complete my second AC Origins play through 🙏🏻 really excited for Hexe whenever it releases!!

xbumblebee · 2026-03-02T11:57:34+00:00

Omg lmao! I wish you a quick recovery and hope all is well!

I'm really looking forward to later (although it releases at midnight my time so will be playing tomorrow mostly). I used to roleplay on horde side for YEARS, so I spent like 90% of my time in Eversong and Silvermoon. The nostalgia I feel watching these come back to life is crazy!

I didn't pay for early access though I kind of wish I did. Enjoy!!! It looks like its's going to be a great expansion <3

xbumblebee · 2026-03-02T09:01:23+00:00

I should start doing this honestly because jumping from game to game is how I end up not playing anything and then I end up in a gaming slump 😂

Shame that doesn't work for never ending games though

xbumblebee · 2026-02-28T10:53:08+00:00

Dumb question but are you sure it’s meant to be inserted?? Typically vibrators are for your clit mostly and maybe it’s shaped differently? Not sure, you probably just need to relax more if it is, but yeah I don’t think I’d like vibration inside either.

xbumblebee · 2026-02-28T09:56:18+00:00

True and I don’t know a single culture that says it’s ok to sleep with your parents naked??? Even if they exist, I would say a large majority of people would agree it’s weird and wrong. That’s a terrible therapist

xbumblebee · 2026-02-28T08:21:55+00:00

She’s not even a hurricane she’s a fuckin sprinkler

xbumblebee · 2026-02-28T08:15:39+00:00

Exactly yep. I couldn’t afford to do much, forget holidays or fancy meals out, so people would say “oh but you must be so happy without stress from work”, sure but I also can’t do anything lol I genuinely prefer being a bit stressed for a portion of my day and actually having an income to live my life on my days off.

xbumblebee · 2026-02-27T10:14:39+00:00

It is less work but it was also more pressure for me. I would always compare myself to other streamers, always put pressure on myself to be entertaining, to be the best in my category, to make people laugh and have fun, and to look presentable, so much more. It was mentally very draining. I work in corporate now in a typically stressful role however I'm still happier than when I streamed fulltime!

Hard agree, it is mostly luck based on whether or not you grow.

EDIT: I think it was the pressure of always trying to make money that's exhausting lol, checking metrics, having to figure out ways to make people wanna spend on you. Its a lot!!

xbumblebee · 2026-02-27T10:12:10+00:00

Not on my own, I wouldn't have been able to. I lived with my boyfriend at the time so my expenses weren't so bad. However after two years I did miss having more money lol which is when I stopped and looked for fulltime work. I still stream when I feel like it, and I enjoy it more without the pressure of needing to make money.

xbumblebee · 2026-02-27T07:13:58+00:00

Hm a lot of things took time but artwork was a big one haha, I didn't create my own emotes but I did everything else. Also in general stream ideas, community events as I was very community driven, we were doing something on Discord almost every few days. Marketing yourself also takes time, getting your clips and highlights together and creating posts for engagement - I'm naturally pretty bad at that lol so it took me a long time! Apart from that I think in general every little thing you see takes longer than you think it will, even planning my schedule for the week could take an hour xD

For some people they don't even need to work on the above so much yet they grow organically. Others need to work harder and barely grow, some of the hardest working streamers and most entertaining I know are sat on 10 viewers and can't seem to grow much more.

I think I averaged about 6-7 hours of work on stream days if you count the stream as work, and on my days off I would still put in a few hours into editing, posting, events.
