I got my Daith Pierced!

Image
Hello! I hope you're all doing well (: So, for a long time now I have been thinking about getting a Daith piercing. The Daith is a piece of cartilage inside the ear, and supposedly has a pressure point to help with migraines, anxiety and more! So because I suffer from migraines, I thought I would try it out! I have been saving up all year, and finally went to the piercers. I went with my Mermaid friend Viktoria from Superior Mermaids, and our New Zealand exchange student who both wanted to get piercings. Viktoria got both her Daiths pierced and Kate got her ear lobes re-pieced. When we arrived, we signed some papers and chose the earings we wanted, I chose just plain silver with an opal gem! I was the first to go, being the most scared. I laid down and the piercer talked us through the process. After cleaning my ear, she told me to take a deep breath in and on the exhale she pulled the needle through. On a scale from 1-10 I'd say it was a 6, I mean it hurt but I was holdin...

My 13 Birthday

Hello! Sorry, it's taken me so long to upload this, it has after all been 2 weeks since my birthday, but I really wanted to let you guys know how it went! So on Friday night, all my friends came over for my party which was a Mystery party called "Turmoil At The Talent Show" it was tons of fun! We each had a character who we had to act as for the whole party, for instance, my name was Nobel Umbridge I hade a fear of germs and a love to debate everyone about everything! The game was set into 3 rounds, the first one I performed my talent routine assigned to my character, the Napolean Dynomite dance! Then the next performance was of Green Eggs and Ham, then a Latin reading of a gothic poem and so on! Then after finishing round one, we sat down for dinner, a Kitchen Sink Salad and Mozza sticks! During our dinner, the talent show received an odd phone call saying that the talent show must not go on! Then out came the cake, a Rose Pomegranate and Chocolate Cake that I made and ...

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great 2019 and will have an even better 2020! On New Year's Eve, my family went to my friend's house out in the country! We had tacos for dinner which were really good. Then we all went outside for a bonfire! They had set up projection lights on the trees and they were super cool! It was already dark so we decided to play a game of "sardines" when one person hides then the rest have to find them, then when you find the person you need to hide with them until there is one person left! After a couple rounds of that, my friend and I went inside to heat up their sauna! After getting in it we decided to jump into the snow! Something I had never done before! It wasn't very cold out and even with just my bathing suit it wasn't bad, but I couldn't get myself to belly flop in like I could have, instead most of the time I just cannonballed leaving my legs and feet tingling! We jumped in a good 7 times and after that decided to wa...

Cutting down are christmas tree

Image
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!

Candy cane bark!

Image
 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!!!

If you have followed the CBC/ Netflix series Anne with an E for the past 3 years you will know that the version of the classic Anne of Green Gables is a  darker modernized  version but none the less will transport you to the beloved story. All three seasons I have laght cried and felt the magic! But sadly " We have reached the end of the red Green Gables road after 3 wonderful seasons." Said Moria Walley-Beckett writer/Exec Producer Anne with an E . So for this blog post I would like to say thank you to Anne with an E for being a show that I could watch with my whole family talk about with my friends and feel it in my heart. And if you ever come back with a 4 season I will dey my hair green (; (;

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...
