Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Happy St. Patrick’s Day bloggers! Do you have any traditions? Today when I went to school lots of people were wearing green but some were not. First thing we do on this day when we see someone wearing green… We PINCH them! I’m wasn’t really sure why then I found this online:

Eating corned beef and cabbage: This, again, is actually more of an American than Irish tradition. It dates back to the 19th century, when most Irish Americans were poor and could only afford the cheapest meat possible, corned beef. As for cabbage, it’s most likely included simply because it’s a spring vegetable. (My mom makes this every year!)

Drowning the shamrock: Simply place a clover at the bottom of your cup, fill with Guinness or Irish whiskey, and drink up. It’s up to you whether you’d like to eat the shamrock or chuck it over your shoulder for good luck. (Never tried this obviously beacause I can’t drink whiskey yet!)

Wearing green: Actually, this color association is kind of a fluke. Originally, the original color of St. Patrick’s Day was blue. But for several reasons, green prevailed. Ireland is often referred to as the Emerald Isle, and its flag displays a green stripe. Irish Catholics typically wear green (Irish Protestants typically wear orange, the other prominent color on the Irish flag). And, of course, shamrocks are green, giving the color an added advantage. (I wore a mint green shirt today!)

Pinching others who are not wearing green: Rumor has it that leprechauns — who are most often imagined wearing green getups — pinch those around them who are not sporting similarly green apparel. That has evolved into humans pinching each other to display the disapproval we think the leprechauns would be showing. You won’t be surprised to know that this, too, is a largely American tradition. The Irish leprechauns of yore didn’t even wear green. But that won’t stop strangers from taking a pinch, so choose your outfit wisely. (I’ve pinched three people already!)

I found this information on http://vox.com you could go online too to get more information on this holiday!

I wish you all luck!🍀☘🍀

see you next time…..🍀☘🍀👍🏻😊

MERRY CHRISTMAS! (a little late… ;)

Merry Christmas! I know it’s a little late, I’ve just had “a lot on my plate” recently! Anyways, my Christmas was a lot of fun! I got: an iphone 5c, boots from Roxy, a coat from the Gap (still shipping), amazon gift cards, $money$, a subscription to Birch Box, and a lot of super cute beauty related items in my stocking. Yesterday I went shopping with the Christmas money I got, with my friend Lily. I splurged (spent everything) and now my money is all gone :(. But what can I say! There were really good deals at Lush, they had a buy one get one free. So I got four items for the price of two, which was 17$. Okay, enough about my spending habits…

I went to see the movie, Star Wars the day after Christmas with my aunt, uncle, cousin, and the rest of my family. The Star Wars movie was OK. I say this because it made no sense, and it was really predictable. I am a very logical person, so how the movie was to me. ATTENTION READ NO FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS TO THE STAR WARS MOVIE! SKIP TO THIRD PARAGRAPH! What got me super mad was at the end when Rey was about to kill the evil guy she didn’t and left. My mom was telling me that it was because Jedi’s can’t kill people because there good? Then I argued that that was stupid because Rey killed Storm Troupers throughout the WHOLE movie. Then Rey blew up the whole planet? I know the only reason that the people who made Star Wars decided that Rey wouldn’t kill the bad guy, is because the want a sequel so they could make billions when that evil guy returns. So that was MY take on the Star Wars movie.

 

Overall I had a very fun Christmas! After watching the Star Wars movie we went around the mall and I went to Tiffiany & Co. I was thinking about going up to a person in the store, and asking them if they served breakfast all day! Because of the movie Breakfast At Tiffiany’s! Haha puns…

 

See you next time…..:p

Before I wrap this up I have three questions for you:

1. Any traditions old or new???

2. If you did a lip synch battle what song would you choose?

3. And did you know that if you mix around the letters in Santa it spells SATAN!!! Creepy…

 

BY THE WAY BEFORE I FORGET MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ME ON GOOGLE PLUS!

Christmas Eve in Hotel Del!

A little while ago I went to Hotel Del in Coronado. I go there every year around this time. Down below is some pics that I took while I was there. Hope it keeps you occupied!

This is the tree that they put up around Christmas time, which is always perfectly trimmed, and fifteen feet high. Hey that rhymes! Kinda?

photo 2  After we went to this candy shop! I got this slice of fudge, and it wasn’t really good, because it was super sweet! I am just not a “sweets person”. Besides when it comes to chocolate! 😉

 

See you next time ;0 🙂 :p… I can’t do emojis… 😮

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey guys – HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! This Thanksgiving there is a lot to be thankful for! Let me start off with my family (including my dog), my friends (that give me great support), a house above my head with a beautiful ocean view,  christianity (my religion), and my perfect health. As you are cutting through some juicy turkey, and slicing through crisp pie, think about this today:

                             Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift!

 

This was said by my dad! It’s cheesy but true. Now enjoy a series of cute Thanksgiving pics down below!
