Our Friendship Volume I

Hiya! Emeraude here, wishing you a stupendous Sunday. Today I'm writing about Alyssa and I's friendship, and we'll hear her input this Wednesday. We have known each other since kindergarten having grown up in a small town, but got really close when I was in 6th Grade and she was in 7th Grade. I think we bonded first over our mutual love of swimming. I remember a summer where I would call her every night and we'd meet at the community pool and swim from opening to closing. We have never been interested in the popular crew, I believe that's part of the reason that we get along. Somehow we always end up loving the same things. Even when we don't plan to. We both love Sabrina Carpenter (a pop musician if you weren't aware, highly recommended) and watched her on the show "Girl Meets World" before we even really started hanging out. When the Netflix show "Lost in Space" came out we both watched it with our family's at the same time and foun...

Dealing with Stress

Hiya! Emeraude here, wishing you a wonderful Wednesday. Do people even use the word stupendous? The next time I'm talking with somebody I'm going to use it as much as possible, just to see their reaction.

I like a medium blue-raspberry slushie on a hot summer day.  Everyone is stressed about something, that's just life. But do you know the actual definition of stress? I didn't, I wasn't even really sure what the difference between stress and anxiety was. That's why today I decided to write about dealing with stress.  I wanted to start by making sure I had a clear understanding on what was stress in my life and what was anxiety, because I think a common mistake I make when discussing these issues (which are equally important in my mind) ...

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...
