11 things to do when your under quarantine

Image
Hey guys! So I know that there’s a sickness going round that has caused a-lot of people staying home in their house. I just came back from vacation so me and my family have to stay under quarantine for 2 weeks. So I thought I would put together a list for you guys with things to do under quarantine! 1. STRETCH OR EXERCISE  You know that video on YouTube in your “watch later” about getting the splits? Well, it’s time to put it to use, when's a better time then when you are stuck at home doing nothing? But of course, if you are feeling sick maybe lay off the hard work and try this next one. 2. DO A PUZZLE  Dust off that old puzzle that’s been laying on your coffee table for a year unopened and put aside that excuse of “There’s probably pieces missing” and put it all together! 3.LISTEN TO A PODCAST OR AN AUDIOBOOK  I love listening to podcasts like, “Dear Hank And John” and audiobooks, like “Harry Potter” or “Anne Of Green Gables” it’s like reading a book witho...

I’m in Mexico!

Image
Hey! I hope your all doing well and staying healthy. Me and my family have arrived in Mexico! My grandparents have a house there which we usually visit yearly but didn’t last year, so it was all the more exiting getting onto our plane.  From our home town to Toronto is about a 2 hour flight and from Toronto to Cancun Mexico is about 4.5 hours. My grandparents house is in a little fishing town just outside of Cancun, and has grown so much since our first ever visit back in 2013. The plane ride was long,but I past the time watching some “Stuck In The Middle” and reading a new magazine called “Showstopper” a dance magazine, which was entertaining. Anyway, enuf about the ride here, and more about Mexico! The first couple of nights I was sick with light headedness and dizziness from dehydration, so those days we kinda just laid low, with occasional walks on the sandy beach. After I was over that we began swimming and the good times began! I’ve been in the pool every day since arriv...

New Moon Girl Contributor

Image
Hey guys! I want to let you know about my favorite magazine New Moon Girls. Its girl created, with tons of fun poems, drawing, stories, and more! You can learn about strong women from the past. They also have an online community, where you can ask questions and discover new things! But my favorite part is that anyone can contribute! In a past issue, they mentioned how bathroom signs are very gender stereotypical and not inclusive to all genders, and if anyone had any alternative ideas they could send them in. So I decided to watercolor a painting featuring the men's washroom with a Sun symbol, the Woman with a Moon, and the Gender neutral bathroom with a star. Then just a few weeks ago I received an email saying that my painting was going to be in the upcoming March-April magazine! I was so happy that my message was coming through and hope that by this being published, more and more businesses will stop putting up signs that are saying that women just wear dresses and men just wear...

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!
