Christmas Dinner!

This is one of the Christmas dinners I had. I managed to take really nice pictures of our meals so I thought I would share them with you. Although I am vegetarian, I have included pictures of duck and a meat pie, simply because only my mum and I are vegetarian, so why not… and yes it was very delicious! Enjoy!

The Joy of Christmas!

(I wrote this in November and forgot about it!!!)

Christmas is upon us... Well, at least in my mind it is!

What I love about Christmas is the atmosphere. It seems to me everyone looks more happy and cheerful around this time of year.

I know life can be stressful, but I tend to more easily forget about my worries during December!

Now this can change from a second to the next, especially if I over think it, but in general, I do think it's a much more happy season!

The music, the advent calendars, the beautiful yet awful snow (let's not think about that too much), the food, the family, the excitement I get when giving a gift to someone, and we CANNOT forget about vlogmas and the exceptionally busy YouTube uploads!

                                         

That's why I like December, simply because it's full of happy things which make me forget about the awful.

Remember that if you have a low budget, the absolute best thing to do is to make something creative, something sentimental that will make the person you are giving to feel happy. It's never about the amount you spend, it's about the time and effort you put into it!

I'd much rather receive a scrapbook filled with pictures of the both of us than a piece of expensive jewellery.

Don't worry too much, you'll get everything sorted eventually, but never wait till the last minute. I know it's easy to procrastinate (speaking from personal experience), but you'll be glad you got it done beforehand when you realize you wouldn't have had time anyways.

Have fun and stop worrying! Spend more time with those you care about, and those who care about you.

Cringe Cringe Cringe

I just wanted to share a funny story with all of you... And I do realize this has nothing to do with me, other than the fact that I was there, but I'd like to share it anyways!

I was waiting for the bus with 3 other people. And I know you might laugh, because a lot of people do, but I have a blackberry, and one of the guys I was with was exceptionally making fun of me for having a work phone. I make fun of myself, but this is an important part of this story.

One of the three was flipping his phone up into the air and it fell on the ground... It was bound to happen eventually. He picked it up... This moment is always the most stressful, and it was the same as before. One crack horizontally through the middle, with the exception of a tiny, miniature little crack to the edge, which he had just created. This was no big deal and we were all relieved...

Then, out of nowhere, another of the three (the one who was making fun of me) threw his phone directly onto the pavement and said, and I quote, "iPhones 5s never break"... I'm staring at this phone, screen towards the pavement, and I'm just there thinking there's no way that this phone has not been absolutely destroyed!

He picked up his phone with no worry in the world, and to his surprised the screen was absolutely shattered! At this point we were all silent! He looked at us and said "it's never broken before; this gives it more character, whatever..." This made me want to cry! He had destroyed a perfectly fine iPhone because; well what it did was really stupid!

And I would pick a decent blackberry over a shattered iPhone any day! I'm pretty sure he regretted his decision and well, it made a great story.

P.-S.: He probably cried when he got home...

A Stroll in a Craft Store

Today, my friends and I decided we would go to our local craft store and do silly goofy things whilst I take pictures. So, I thought I would share these ridiculous pictures with all of you… because why not?!

Firstly we grabbed wooden letters and placed them in a large bouquet of fake flowers.

I then decided to get Mia and Claire to hold those flowers in front of their faces.

We then had a nice chat with these wonderful scarecrows, and as you can tell, the beige one lost its arm.

Mia decided to lick an owl.

Then Mia attacked Claire with a crow.

And Claire attempted to scare Mia with a spider.

Then we found beautiful hats…

And I put a flower in Mia’s hair.

They decided to have a drink.

And finally Claire found the hidden magic books she had been searching for!

That’s all for our adventure. Let me know if you like this sort of thing and I’ll be sure to do more of them. I’ll just finish of with a picture of a plastic pumpkin…

Goodbye!

I Wan't Autumn!

Eeeerrrmygeeeerrrddd!!!

Summer is driving me crazy!

I've never been one to love summer and honestly never been one to love the heat! I don't understand it. When you're hot and sticky, you can't do much about it. When you're too cold, you snuggle up in cosy blankets and sit by a fire with your hot chocolate.

The problem is, when it's summer I want winter and when it's winter I want summer! It's an awful never ending cycle!

I also HATE humidity, and I don't tend to hate many things! If it's humid ANY time of the year... Nope! I don't wan't to be there. Canadian winters are awful BECAUSE it's still humid, humidity means sweat, sweat is water, water freezes in our cold temperatures! Do you see the problem? It's cold and icy because it's humid without the heat!!!

And our summers are so incredibly uncomfortable BECAUSE we're all melting and sticky and... I'm going to say it... Moist and just all over gross!

Honestly though, Canada isn't a bad place, I mean the weather is definitely not the best, but it's not a bad place, and it depends where you live in Canada! The country is the second biggest after all, so there's definitely many places you could live or visit that wouldn't be the same as I'm constantly describing.

In conclusion, yes I'm being fancy, I'm just tired of this disgusting humidity, so if we could just move on to the next season, I am ready to be spooky and colder!!!

Thank you and goodbye!

P.-S.: Here's some inspiration for you Canada:

I Don’t Like Reading…?

 I've always been someone who doesn't particularly like to read.

Although I wish I did, reading just isn't the most enjoyable thing in my opinion.

I've always been this way. Reading just isn't my thing. I do because I have to, and I do because I know I should, but it never been the easiest task.

I wish I liked reading more than I do and I wish I read more, but it isn't as easily done as said.

When I read I look forward to finishing the book, I look forward to the next chapter and I pay attention to the page numbers.

Someone who loves reading gets disappointed when they're done their book and wishes they hadn't read it as quickly.

I read incredibly slowly because I just get distracted. The book never seems to be interesting enough and I absolutely hate that.

It has nothing to do with the fact that I can't read, just the fact that it's incredibly time consuming and in my opinion, just boring.

I haven't read the classics, I wish I had, and I'm trying my best, but there's so much to catch up on!

I told myself I should read the Hobbit and the Harry Potter books, because I want to but I don't somehow. And I've finished the Hobbit, although it took me a month.

You might be wondering what's wrong with me! A month and I can't finish a tiny book. Well, I just never find the time to read, not that I don't have time, just that I procrastinate too much and end up ready only 50 pages per week.

At the rate I'm going, if I want to read all 8 of the Harry Potter books, it'll take me years! I know that's awful! I do want to read them... Kinda.

What can I do? Does anyone else feel this way about reading? If you do, let me know what you do to motivate yourself to read more!

I assume that if you dislike reading, you're not reading this soooo... I guess no one here relates!

The irony…

My Cry Laugh

You meet someone new. You get to know them. You'll make them laugh...

Well, that's exactly it.

The first time you make your new friend truly laugh matters. And their laugh might be typical or insanely ridiculous.

Sometimes they're laugh makes you laugh more, which I guess is always quite fun.

And loads of people can laugh so hard that they start to tear up... But you don't understand.

When you meet me, it doesn't take much to make me cry laugh, unlike most. Because my regular laugh is my cry laugh. Yep!

When you truly make me laugh, I won't be tearing up, I will be full on balling  my eyes and basically hyperventilating so much that I'm completely silent and gasping for air. And that, of course make everyone laugh more, which make me laugh more, which continues repetitively.

Remember, I don't tear up, I cry!

So that little iOS emoji, you know this one:

... That's literally ME!

I really do hope I'm not alone on this one.

So PLEASE comment if you LITERALLY cry laugh.

We'll have a giant... Most likely small, cry laughing party!

We'll call it lrying, you know, laughing+crying... Lrying

Ok, that's enough.

On another note, I'm really sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I went on holiday and completely forgot, and was partially feeling very "uncreative" and lazy.
