I'm Back!!

Hey everyone!

Been awhile hasn't it? Those that regularly read my blog (are there regulars?) I am super sorry that I haven't posted in a very long time but for those that are in university or any secondary education you can  probably understand why. I was all of a sudden under a pile of midterms, assignments, and "midterms" that were at basically the end of first term. Right now is the first week of my universities exam period so that's why I am finally able to write a blog post. My exams aren't until next week so I am studying and finishing up my last assignment so I basically have starting this week until the beginning of January off from school, minus my two exam days. WHOO!

So I am basically finished my first semester of my second year at university and all I have to say is wow! It has gone by so fast and I can't believe that I am already halfway done this year. I honestly don't know how the semesters go by so fast but they have all seemed to zoom by. With this semester over I do have quite a lot of exciting news that I hope you guys will be happy with. 

By the middle of December I will no longer be working, therefore I will have a lot more time to do Internet things. the "things" include my usual schedule of blog posts, so three times a week if you are new to my blog. I usually post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but that may change slightly because my next semester schedule is a bit hectic on Monday's and Wednesday's, but I will still have my 3 posts they may just happen on different days. AND I will be making regular videos!  I know I have said that in the past but since I won't be working through my next semester I will have time to make and edit videos! My first official video will be up mid-December and I will probably vlog bits and pieces of by break and put it in one big video. I am super excited to be making videos and if you have any ideas of videos please let me know on here or you can email me!

I have also just made a Spotify account for those who are big music people. My account is emmylalonde so my blog name so feel free to follow me or if you think I need to be listening to better music please leave songs or artists because I love fining new music to listen to. Or if you think their are people I should be following on Spotify leave them below :)

Take care! xxx

Dehydration

Hey everyone! 

Its been awhile hasn't it? I am very sorry for that but I've had a hard time finding time between school and work to be able to write. I have missed this so much, even with just writing this introduction I feel like I am back doing what I am supposed to be doing. For today I want to talk about a more serious topic that I myself struggle with. It isn't necessarily a very common thing but because my schedule has been really hectic lately I have noticed that I have been struggling with it a bit more than usual. 

The issue that I am talking about is dehydration. Now I am sure most have you have been dehydrated before, on a really hot summer day or even having a hangover (thats caused by dehydration). That is when most people experience dehydration. I however experience dehydration more often than most people because I do not drink enough fluids on a daily bases. Now this is not because I don't want to, it's because I simply forget to drink and for some reason my body doesn't send me signals telling me to drink. There have been times when I have gone a whole day without drinking anything, and it will be 8pm when I have my first glass of water. 

This is very unhealthy for your body to go through, and I have been trying very hard to get my body the proper amount of daily fluids, but there are some days when I will still not drink enough. I had multiple days where I have woken up nauseas and at first I didn't know why, but Iater realized that it was because I was dehydrated. Now when this happens I know why I feel that way and I am able to help myself by knowing how to fix it. I know that this may seem very ridiculous to a lot of you but this is pretty serious and if this is not taken care of properly you can wind up hospitalized from dehydration. 

Recently, I downloaded this amazing app for my HTC called Water Your Body which reminds you to drink water throughout the day. If you do not have an Android I am sure that you would be able to find similar apps in your app store. I have also made sure to always have a full water bottle with me where ever I go, just so I can be drinking constantly. I know I cannot be the only one hat ha this problem so if you also go through this feel free to comment or email me because maybe we can help each other out!

Do not end up like this guy!!!
Anyways, that is it for now! I promise I will be posting more product reviews very soon... maybe this week ;).... and I will be writing more regularly.

Take care! xxx

Are Your Parents Good Parents?

Hey everyone! 

So for my video of the week I thought I should feature something relatable to what I am doing this week. Or more so where I am. So I have a few days off from work this week so I thought instead of staying at home and mostly likely not doing anything productive, that I would go to my moms house for a few days!

So that's where this video comes in. This by a YouTuber by the name of IISuperwomanII, who is so funny and amazing and I am OBSESSED with her videos! She is also Canadian and is from a town pretty close to mine which is pretty cool too! Anyways she does really funny sketches and some of which include the characters of her parents, and they are all really well done and are sure to make you laugh!

This video specifically is Superwoman's parents giving parenting advice, which I immediately showed my mom when I read the title of the video. I loved it and she loved it so watch the video, show your parents, or child, and have a good laugh. Her videos are all great and I always look forward to her videos coming out.

So if you have not yet seen any of her videos check them out because I can almost guarantee that you will love them! She makes very relatable videos for basically everyone so you have no excuse not to watch them!


Anyways that is it for today, so I hope you enjoyed this video because I know that I did! If you have any questions let me know, and if you have videos you think I should watch leave a link or the name of the YouTube channel! :)

Take care! :)

Piercings and Tattoos!

Hey everyone!

So today I want to talk about something you probably didn't know about me! Most of my posts on here are not quite personal entries so today I kind of wanted to mix it up a bit and let you know about me a bit more, instead of me reviewing a product or giving lifestyle advice. Now I know that this topic won't be everyone's cup of tea but I'm  the type of girl that loves tattoos and piercings.  


 I don't have that many piercings, currently I have 5 piercings, and I am definitely going to be getting at least 4 more in the next couple of years. The first thing I got pierced was my ears, but it did not go quite smoothly. When I was about 4 I really wanted to get my ears pierced and kept bugging my mom to get it done, so finally she let up and brought me to get it done. Well this was in the 90's still and getting pierced back then was not as nice as it is now, they used to use a piercing gun that was super loud and to my 4 year old ears, it seemed very scary. needles to say I came out of that with only one ear pierced. A few years later I was down in the USA with my dad and I decided that I again wanted to get my ears pierced  and thankfully by then the piercing guns weren't as loud and I finally had my ears pierced. 


Then came 7th grade when I decided I wanted wanted to get my ears pierced for the second time. Again this time wasn't scary and it did't really hurt, just stung a bit, but nothing too hard to handle. So I had 4 piercing by the 7th grade which was not enough for me. For years I wanted another piercing but never got around to it until this year. This year I got my belly button pierced which was probably my best piercing experience. This was my first piercing without a piercing gun, instead a needle was used. I sat waiting for it happen and I didn't even feel it when he did the piercing and it was over before I knew it. The next piercings I know for sure that I am going to be getting is a tragus in my right ear, an industrial in my right ear, and a third lobe piercing in both ears. I will be getting at least one of these done by the end of this year, which I am very excited for!


Now, on to tattoos! I got my first tattoo this year and I know for sure that it will not be my last. So during Christmas break I went back to my home town and saw family and friends. Well when I was out with my friends I talked about how I wanted to get a tattoo pretty soon, and one of my best friends suggested that we all get one representing out friendship. So in January we all got our first tattoo, which was kind of painful but not so bad because none of us flinched which was pretty amazing since ankle tattoos can be one of the most painful. As soon as it was done though it didn't hurt at all and it only took a couple of weeks to heal which I was happy about! I will probably be getting another tattoo done within the next year and a half  so I can't wait to get that done!

Anyways, that is it for today! I hope this let you know a bit more about me and if you have any questions about piercings, tattoo's or anything else let me know!

Take care! xxx
