The Holidays!

Hey everyone!

So I've been on my winter holiday break for about a week now, and it has been amazing. I finished up exams on the 17th and traveled to my mothers house the next day. I haven't really had a chance to come home for about a month with being busy with school and work, so it has really been nice to be home for a little while. I was having a bit of trouble with my anxiety, getting overwhelmed with work and school but being home has made me feel a lot better.

With the holidays comes family time, and I don't know about all of you but I do celebrate Christmas and seeing my family and friends is probably my favourite part! Tomorrow, so Christmas Eve we are having our big family get together and I can't wait! With being in school it is hard for me to go and visit family so on big holidays like Christmas I get to catch up with everyone and it's just really nice. 

Other exciting new... I am no longer single. I know, weird right? This is a very new relationship as it literally started on the 18th, but we've been talking for a bit and it just seemed right. Our first date was really cute, well in my opinion at least . We were going to go ice skating, cheesy I know (but super cute), anyways when we got there they had run out of most of the sizes of skates so we had to figure out something else to do. So because there is a movie theater in our mall we decided to go see a film, and we winded up watching The Good Dinosaur. All in all this holiday break has been amazing.

Scents and Things!

 Hey everyone! 

Earlier this week I had a very nice visit from my Aunt who lives quite far away from me. Though she lives very far away we always have this tradition of having dinner and seeing a movie whenever she comes down for a visit. So we went to East Side Mario's for dinner and then we went to the movies to go what Into The Storm. Dinner was fantastic and the movie was so good and had me on the edge of my seat the while time, but it freaked me out so much! I live in Southern Ontario so I know that I don't really have to worry about tornado's but this movie completely made me think all of the "what if?" questions and had me a bit worried. Along with the nice visit she also brought me a few gifts, and that's my whole reason for making this post. 

She not only got me a bag of tealights ( I love candles), a very cute bag from Mexx, and the most amazing thing ever! She got me a Natural Soapstone Oil Burner from The Body Shop and it is my new favourite thing. I've used it almost everyday for the past week and I will definitely be using it for the foreseeable future! With the Oil Burner she got me one of their Home Fragrance Oil in the scent Satsuma, which is one of my very favourite scents ever! 

So how this amazing contraption works is you fill the little bowl on top of the base with about halfway with water. In the water you put about 3-4 drops of oil into the water that should be enough but if it doesn't seem strong enough just add some more.

After you have the oil all sorted out light a tealight under the bowl and leave it lit for no longer then 20 minutes! Your room will be left smelling amazing and I always find that candles are quite relaxing.

The Body Shops Home Fragrance Oil bottles are quite small but only a small drop comes out of the top so it will last you a very long time! Also if you like oranges i really recommend that you get the Satsuma scent because it is so amazing!!
