Fall Time Visit Part 2

Hi there! Emeraude again, back for another edition of the fall series here on the blog. Today I am continuing with part two of the Fall Time Visit post, telling you all about when Angel and I were reunited with Alyssa. If you haven't read part one yet, go catch up here before you continue reading.  Saturday after we cleaned up our sleepover mess, we decided to go for a little nature walk. Our first stop was downtown to go grab Polaroid refill for my camera because we had used up all the  film the night before. On our way to the store we saw this little guy just chilling on the sidewalk and were pretty sure he may have been stepped on. We helped him into the grass where he seemed much happier.  Here is our new spider friend on the side walk.  Here is me saving him from the sidewalk.   After we made our new spider friend, and bought some film for the camera, we made our way toward the trail. We didn't hike the whole trail because it started hailing and we wanted to get back home

Reunited with Alyssa - Fall Time Visit Part One

  Hello there, it's Emeraude back for another addition of our fall series. Today is a special one, I will be recounting Angel and I's visit with Alyssa over thanksgiving (in October here in Canada). We had a blast and it was great to reunite even though it was short! Lets get right into it.  At the end of our school day on the Friday (the day after she arrived), Alyssa came to pick us up from school at the end of the day. It was so great to catch up on the walk back to my house. That night we went for cheesecake and pumpkin spice lattes at our local cafe and bakery, we walked in the snow, and had a super fun sleepover.  We had the whole bakery to ourselves, I guess no one else wanted to go out since it was getting cold. We shared a scrumptious pumpkin cheesecake and chatted until closing. I enjoyed a pumpkin spice latte and Alyssa tried one as well, meanwhile Angel chugged an iced tea faster than we could even take pictures of our drinks!  All that was left when we were done mu

Em's Fall Favourites

Hey! Emeraude again, welcome back to the our fall series. Today I wanted to talk about all the things I've been loving as fall starts to set in. Let's get right into it!     We've all heard of the term "sweater weather", and right now it's precisely that time. Mornings are pretty chilly around here (northern Ontario) and the afternoons bring a brisk breeze along with them. I've been loving flannels (thanks Taylor ❤) and sweater dresses at the moment, they keep me warm and they're stylish. Thanks to study hall, I don't have much homework , which allows me to curl up with tea and an old sweater (this week I've been living in my Raptors sweater ) and watch some Netflix.      Speaking of tea... lately I have been drinking a variety of warming beverages, 'tis the season for it after all! My go-to tea for fall time is David's Tea Cinnamon Rooibos Chai , I've also really been enjoyi ng caramel lattes and french vanilla cappuccinos (hot o

Fall Walks

It's Emeraude again, hey! I hope everyone is having a good week, and enjoying whatever kind of fall weather you are experiencing. I have been really enjoying our weather around here, fall time is my favourite. Here's all about how I'm enjoying the fall weather.  I love walking in the fall. First of all, it's the perfect season to dress up all cozy to go out. The wind is very snippy here at the moment, so I get ready in a fuzzy sweater and get to make use of scarfs. The winters here are really cold, too cold to wear vests. But during the fall, I get to wear my vests, and I find them very fashionable.  I think one of the most satisfying sound is leaves crunching under your feet. That's why I usually take the long way home during the fall, to here all the leave crackle. Not only that, in this little path a couple streets away from my house, I often am greated by chipmunks and hear the birds singing, which I personally find fun and relaxing.  The path I talked about I l

School So Far

  Hello! Emeraude here, and today I want to tell you all about how my first couple months of highschool has been going.  To begin, everything is different because of Covid-19 measures to keep teachers and students safe. It has taken a lot of getting used to, but I've adjusted pretty well. I'm lucky to live in a small town and go to a small school which allows me to socialize with students from grade 9 and 10 (we still have to wear our masks and stay 6 feet apart of course) since we are under 20 students, that means that I get to spend time with Angel (her, Alyssa and I used to be the tightest knit group since grade five) during lunch. Wearing our masks is really important, and I've gotten used to it enough for it to be comfortable all day. I am loving scented hand sanitizer right now, my fave at the moment is pumpkin cupcake and I really enjoy the bath and body works one since it is moisturizing instead of drying.      Perhaps one of the most unusual aspects of the Covid me

Fall Fun

  Emeraude here today, back with another edition to our fall post series. It has been getting SO COLD here the past month, and I'm looking back at the warm September weather we were experiencing a while ago. Here's how I spent those almost fall days.  Angel and I were seizing the moment to go out and enjoy the few days of chilly yet warm fall. Usually, around here during September it's still warm enough, but the wind starts to become very cold, then October becomes mitten weather and the first few snow flakes. This year was no different.  A small shop downtown was ending their ice cream season with yummy fall themed flavours, so after school one day we went out for a nature walk, fall photos, and a yummy treat. We walked to the store and picked up our fall ice cream then went down to the water front to enjoy them. The photos don't really do justice to how vivid the fall colours were this year. We tried to take artistic photos the way Alyssa does, and they ended up refle

Happy Fall!

 Hello again everybody! It's Emeraude, I'm back from my writing break and ready to catch you all up on school, friends, family and everything in between.       First I'd like to wish everyone happy fall! 🍂 Here in Northern Ontario all the leaves are starting to change, the air is starting to chill and the wind is starting to bite. I absolutely love fall and everything that comes along with it.      I can't wait to write all about the beginning of high school as well. Things are very different in pandemic school, and there are all sorts of things to talk about.     Stay tuned for some fall recipes I love as well! Oh, speaking of recipes a cute little indie shop just opened in my town, it's the coolest little place with essential oils and sustainable no-plastic skincare and they make herbal remedies... it's really cool!     Okay, well I will see you all next week!
