Woah! Things have been moving ridiculously fast lately.

I haven't been taking the time I need to meditate and pray on a daily basis. My prayers were scarce when I went to Los Angeles for my Speech and Debate State Championship Tournament.

I've never experienced anything like that, let me tell you. The reality of getting a gold and silver medal still hasn't really hit me yet. I have accomplished so much this semester, especially as a performer. I don't know how to grasp this! I am proud of myself. But for some reason, the feeling hasn't really hit me yet. I think I need to pray and meditate about it, to be honest!

Seeing as- HOLY SHIT- Ostara is tomorrow, I thought I'd post this DIY wand tutorial! I found it on pintrest and am planning on re-creating my wand tomorrow in honor of the new beginnings! I'm going to post the tutorial below.



I like the chopstick idea, but I personally prefer a branch found beneath a tree outdoors somewhere!

I also want to redecorate my poor altar. It's been extremely underused! Tomorrow morning I will dedicate a few hours to praying, meditating, and doing at least one witchy craft to thank the Mother and Universe for everything I am blessed to have! And also to make way for the new things that are ahead!

I really am blessed. I must remember that. It's very easy to get caught up in moments that can be left to grow stale. I feel I've been doing that too much lately. But I've also been under a lot of pressure due to the week of performing and the extra anxiety that came with it. (Not that it wasn't enjoyable! I love performing!)

I think I'm going to leave it at that for tonight.
Tomorrow I want to create a post with pictures of all the great finds I got at the thrift store yesterday! I also got myself some perfumes because I don't own any- they're all cruelty free! This is a must.

With that, blessed be, computer. And what ever drones, droids and/or ex-boyfriends who googled up my blog posts.

Good night.

I've been spending way too much time on the internet. But there is SO much information on this thing. Not that I can't find information outside, but... Y'know.

I felt like I was getting sick yesterday. And last night I had that annoying scratch in my throat all the way until I went to sleep, which wasn't really sleep at all. There was so much snot in my throat that I couldn't even swallow the right way. Graphic, I know.

Anyway, I have been finding so many DIY tutorials and I am in love with all of them. I must try these crafty things out!

One of my favorite things to DIY is food... As I love to cook and make my mom breakfast almost every morning- a vegan breakfast, of course! I was on Audrey Kitching's blog again and I found this yummy looking snack.



I'd for sure use some almond butter with the strawberry slices! I never really have vegan bread at my house, so I'd probably use some pita instead! ^_^

-drool-

I don't have much of an appetite right now because I'm sick, but how good would this be with the vegan hot cocoa from last post? <3

I am on my ass on this lovely morning, half-ignoring the sunshine coming through my window. I'm watching "The Vampire Diaries," a guilty pleasure of mine. I read the first book years ago when I was younger. I think that's the reason I get hooked on other shows based on books- I read them when I was younger and much angstier.

I don't care! The teenage girl in me squeals.



How fucking delicious does that look? This is a DIY vegan coconut hot chocolate recepie I found on Audrey Kitching's buzznet blog. Drool. I really must make this sometime soon.

Ahhh, today feels so lazy. I am forcing myself to go to the gym with the fam and afterword, forcing some homework to happen. But after... I just might make this cocoa! Here's the recipe:

Ingedients:

2 cups of almond or soy milk

2 heaping teaspoons of 70% cocoa or dark chocolare powder

2 teaspoons of agave

1 1/2 teaspoons of coconut extract

 

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

 

On another note, I have been working on my Book of Shadows. Slowly but surely. I am learning about rituals and practice and I love it!

 

More coming later.

Until then, I am forcing myself to get to the gym... At least for a little bit. Then the usual coffee house raid.

 

P.S. The Lavander Lounge in San Clemente- or wherever it is- is really fucking yummy.
