Hello everyone and Happy New Year! It’s been a while since I last posted something, but something interesting happened to me for the last few days and I want some input about it. As you may know, I live on a large plot of land in my neighborhood and we tend to get a lot of animals crossing(heh) into my yard. A few days ago, we have been getting a lot of hawks, circling around in the back. I thought nothing of it at first, but the next day, there was a hawk on my bench. I didn’t notice it at first because I was getting a package until I looked over. It didn’t seem to be threatening or defensive, just curious and stared at me, even after I went back inside.

I’m hoping to get an answer to what this means

Tonight is a super moon and lunar eclipse. It’s also a blood moon tonight.

I think it’s really special tonight since it’s Tuesday, a Mars related day.

A few weeks ago, my mother and I went to a flea market and noticed a man selling different herbal products. He was asking what type of products that I normally use and what type of ailments I have. I told him that I has acne inversa and serious hyperpigmentation. The conversation end up leading to talking about honoring your ancestors, that my ailments is my blood, telling me that I should acknowledge them and to heal whatever that’s within me so that I can get better both physically and spiritually. So, I bought nothing but neem products and giving myself one month to heal myself.

Cheesy egg toast but with bacon

I know that I don’t ask a lot of questions on here but what are your plans for the Spring Equinox? Are you going to reflect on the past year and become something new? Or renew the things that worked in your favor? Tell me how you celebrate.

I’m thinking about starting a sunflower patch...just don’t have the time and energy to start one

So, I made blueberry syrup for lemonade and ice green tea.

It turned out really well on my first try.

I can’t wait to start having picnics in my yard

Made some cheesy egg toast for brunch... sooo...good

I found a list of Pick-Your-Own farms in my state and thought this would be a fun little date/outing during the summer

Edit: Finally went blueberry picking today

And made blueberry kolaches

I wondering if I should do a season of love this February and an anscetry appreciation in honor of black history month? I want to do something for the month of February, since during this troubling time and I feel like we need to have some love and dedication. Just need to plan it out...

Last week, my mother decided to make chili due the freezing temperatures. It was heavenly with bread ; wish it was a little more spicy...

Lately, I’ve been having dreams of a more softer, gentle version of myself. I dreamt that I was adorned with fabrics of silk and cashmere, and surrounded by precious metals and gemstones like gold and copper, and pearls, diamonds and rubies. I was also in a place where the earth was abundant with vegetation and water was clear... I have no idea what this dream means and I hope that someone can explain this to me.

For the cosmic witches and astronomy lovers, you can view Saturn and Jupiter until the December 25th .

Since the weather is getting frightful, I thought making some soup would be delightful. I’ll let you know how it comes out

Edit: the soup turned out great and tasted great too

I think my mom went a little overboard...still not festive as enough and we’re still not done

I found some interesting and cute things at an antique shop in my mother’s hometown

Decided to make a caramel custard pudding for my stepfather’s birthday. Hope it turns out okay.

Edit: I’m finally done and I think I did pretty good for my first time making it.

My sister bought these cute gentilly cupcakes for my mom’s birthday and they were delicious. I need to find the recipe so I can make them at home

Made a fall air freshener, makes me feel pretty festive lol

I decided to make a Joyful Relaxing Bath

Ingredients:

Orange slices

Lemon slices

1/2 cup Cornstarch

1/2 cup Baking soda

A pinch of cinnamon

1/4 cup of rice powder

Edit: make sure that the rice powder is extra fine grain. If not, just use a muslin bag. Less of a hassle to clean up and clogging your drain.

Decided to create a beauty journal for products that I use, skin conditions, inner beauty talks, etc. I hope that once it’s done, I can pass it down to my girls some day.

Decided to grow an avocado tree. I hope it turns out okay.

As I look at beautiful hills and valleys and sightseeing towns worthy of cottagecore delight, I realize that my home state is basically that: replace hills and valleys with swamps and bayous and quaint cottages with plantation houses, you pretty much have a slice of heaven.

Made brownies for the first time since the move. I want to continue baking for a while longer

Finally got my first herb. Greek oregano is so pretty with its flowers in bloom and I can’t wait to use it in my cooking .

I found this guy by chance and I’m very interested into baking again

Ever wanted to make a recipe book for the next women in line in the family? Not just food recipes but beauty and healing remedies for the women born in or married into the family and they have to put one recipe in the book to pass down? Because that’s what I’m doing

I'm finally done with cleansing my home and now I'm filling it with winter blends and spices to welcome the blessings.

They would play the craft before a full moon, not that I'm complaining.
