Memory Jar

How to make a Memory Jar
This jar is a great idea. I have had one for about a year, and I really am grateful for it. I've filled this jar with tickets to events, plane tickets, little papers from my travels, movie tickets from my favourite films, etc. 
All you need to make an incredible jar like this a...well...a jar. I got mine as a christmas gift (it came with a manicure set), and I emptied it and filled it with my memories. It has a top like a red mushroom with white spots, and is very sturdy, despite being made of glass. 
Once you've filled your jar, you can empty it into a ziplock bag or a shoe box, label it with the year, and stow it away in your closet. Then you just begin filling up the memories again.
I 100recommend making a memory jar. Just fill it with whatever things mean something to you. It is a brilliant way to leave your memories for your children.

On a side note...please follow my friend's blog. alyhudy.blogspot.com

ALS

ALS Awareness
The ALS Canada emblem, the cornflower

Today I am trying to raise awareness for ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS is a rapidly progressive, fatal, neuromuscular disease. The disease causes progressive paralysis in anyone, regardless of race, age, gender or history of the illness in the family. Please donate if you have the option to, it is a horrible disease, with no cure or treatment.

Giveaway

I am thrilled to announce my first giveaway. These are knockoff pandora charms. They are really lovely. Depending on the amount of entries I get, I will either be giving away 2 prizes of 4 or 1 prize of 8. To enter: you must live in Canada ad you must comment below. To enter simply comment below and subscribe to my blog. Also...say which charm is your favourite.

Hair Chalk

Hair Chalk
I went to the hair dresser recently, and she suggested that I try using hair chalk. I've dyed my hair before, but as I have brown hair, it usually fades rather quickly.
Liquid hair chalk is a great option. You put it on your hair, blow dry it, and brush it out. It then lasts for 3-5 washes, and looks great the entire time. 
This is also wonderful because you can change the colour depending on your mood. I have the pink from the hair dresser in right now, and I'm thinking I might go back and buy several more colours.

Chai Tea Latte

Starbucks Chai Tea Latte
I have to say that these are my favourite thing in the world. I live in Canada, and these are my favourite drink for a cold winter's day.
They are much lighter than a hot chocolate or a coffee (though I love both), but they do make me rather sleepy.
These also apparently come in a iced form, but I've never had. Be sure to let me know what you think of it.
BTW...What would you think of me reviewing several things off the Starbucks Secret Menu?

Japanese Cherry Blossom-B&BW

Japanese Cherry Blossom
I got these for a birthday gift, and I've only recently started using them. I have the fragrance, the shower gel and the body lotion. I like this line because it is not too strongly scented, but it is also very floral and feminine. 
I also recommend the Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea line.

My sister actually showed me this website. It is essentially the plot of "movies" that are based on real life historical figures, or myths. This website is certainly worth the read.
