Hello! I hope everyone is excited for Christmas! We just got our tree up on Saturday. On our way out to my Baba and Nonnos house, we stopped at Tim Hortons for a hot chocolate and reindeer donut which we had been eyeing for a while! We spent a while choosing are tree finally settling on a nice full pine! We all helped cut it down then we dragged it back, the weather was very nice plus 2! When we got home and put the tree up it was way more "Charlie Brown" than anything, but we all decorated it and danced to cheesy Christmas music! Then after dinner we all sat down and watched Elf our favorite Christmas movie!

 So today my mom, brother and I started making some of our favorite Christmas bark, for a Christmas cookie swap! The first part of our tradition is digging out the ripped out page of a magazine labeled 2003 LCBO Food and Drink magazine https://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/recipe/peppermint-bark/200306040#.XfKqfdVKFz8 , from our Christmas box deep in the basement! After that, we began weighing and measuring the dark chocolate! Then after it's melted in a double boiler drop some peppermint oil in, then spread it out on a tray, leave it out in the freezing front porch to freeze in -20. Then after an hour we took it in and melted the white chocolate added peppermint then spread it over top, added crushed candy cane let it freeze then voila! I love this colorful chocolaty sweet, and making it with my family is all the sweeter!!!

Hello! I know it may be a bit early to some, and it kinda is for me, too but its time to start talking about Christmas! Now I know that some of you may really want to be in the Christmas spirit but can't really get in the spirit so here are some ideas that helped me! Enjoy (: (: 1: The simple things Sometimes all you have to do to get into the Christmas spirit are the easiest things including: -Putting up a Christmas tree (if not in your living room in your own room) -Bake Christmas cookies -Have some Hot Chocolate or Christmas tea -Put on a Santa hat (like I say the little things) -Create a Christmas list, not only for yourself but for others too -Listen to some Christmas music -Wrap some gifts  2: A festive Aroma To me, a big part of feeling a certain energy is to smell it, And a diffuser blend is just the thing! Here's my favorite holiday blend and a little extra surprise for those without diffusers or these oils. Sugarplum fairy 4 drops peppermint  4 drop...

Hello! I hope everyone is staying warm as the weather gets colder and is filling up on their supply of hot chocolate! Christmas is coming ever closer and the gift-giving time with it. I am happy to say that once again I will be participating in the Veressent Life Youth Artisan Craft Sale! Last spring I took part in the first-ever craft sale, meant for kids who loved creating. This year I'm so happy that its a Christmas sale as that my favorite time of year! I'll be making Christmas fairies for you to hang on your tree or give as gifts! I hope to see you all there!
