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 enjoying caramel lattes and french vanilla cappuccinos (hot ones! usually I go for the iced stuff, but its too chilly right now). Click here to read all about Alyssa and I's tea obsession! 

    I mentioned that I have had time to cozy up for Netflix,  but that's not all. Currently I'm really enjoying the series Space Force on Netflix, and LOVING Hanna on Prime Video. Both are wonderful shows, Hanna is really intense, thrilling and mysterious, and Space Force is hilarious. I enjoy a combination of make you think and make you laugh,  so that's why I've been digging both series. I've watched Space Force a few times now and it never gets old... As for Hanna, I'm making my way through one episode at a time, I like to give myself time to think and reflect on the episodes. I'll keep you posted on how I like the evolution of the series. 

    During the fall I usually start listening to Christmas music, because I can't wait for Christmas to come faster, but this year I am learning a greater appreciation for enjoying the season I'm experiencing. So, I've been loving Folklore because it feels like the right music for right now and french indie music from Quebec. This playlist is what I've had on repeat the past week or so. It's best enjoyed while preparing a fall dinner or writing in candle light... but it's really good any time!

    At the moment I'm reading two books; River, Cross My Heart as well as Anne of Green Gables. The first is written by Breena Clark and is a really emotional novel, I can already tell within the beginning chapters... I'm really eager to read through it more. I've been reading it during study hall when I'm done all my work so I will slowly but surely get through it. I've been reading Anne of Green Gables right before school in my first period class while I wait for the morning bell to ring, and during lunch, meaning it may take me a little longer to get through that one. 

    Anne of Green Gables is for sure one of my all time most treasured stories, and I've been meaning to read the book for a while now. I'm about four chapters in and its. so. GOOD. The screen adaptation I like most after having dug into the written version is still Anne with an E, because it is so true to Lucy Maud Montgomery's style in my opinion. Usually when I read a book compared to the TV show or movie(s) it is a rough comparison and usually sucks some of the fun out of it. That is not the case here. The writers of Anne with an E did a wonderful job bringing to life the novel, and it is a pleasure to read with a picture of the scenery so closely related to the story in my mind. I'll have to write a whole blog post about it when I finish reading the book. 

    Why all this talk of books? Well, I feel that autumn is really a poets season. I love reading all year round, but during fall it's just that much better! I like to escape to a little book world while I enjoy a novel, and there is no season better suited to doing so. 

    I got what I needed to make pumpkin pie when I was doing groceries with my mom today, and I'm pretty excited to make my first pie of the season. I will keep everyone posted on how it goes! 

Well, that's everything from me today. I hope you all enjoyed hearing about my start to fall, and I will be back soon to chat more next Friday! I leave with a question for Alyssa: what is your dream autumn walk like? Have a wonderful day!

Hi, nice to meet you!

Well hello there. We are Alyssa and Emeraude, the Baked Beanettes. Two teenage girls who decided to write a blog together. We have been close friend for ages and share a lot of interest and figured "We can't be the only fifteen year olds who love tea, reading, Netflix, journaling, and cats," so here we are. This blog is here for each of us to make posts about topics that interest us that week, such as shows we're watching and things we're discussing together. Bear with us as we figure things out and please check out the "About Us" section to learn about our personalities. We're starting with two posts a week, understanding people have more time to read in the state the world is currently in we will try to put out as much as possible. You can count on Wednesdays and Sundays for now. Have a lovely day, With Love,  Emeraude & Alyssa

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. Before we get into a discussion about teenagers and stress, I should answer Alyssa's question from last week. Her question was "What is your slushie order?" her's is interesting, mine is very simple! 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)
