Family Christmas Advent Calendar - Day 6

"All you need is love and Christmas cookies"

Today’s the day to decorate all those cookies I made yesterday. As I already told you the matcha butter cookies will be dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles with pistachios. The second cookie I’m decided to decorate was the vegan peanut butter and jelly. It’s actually pretty easy to assemble, but it looks like a cookie you spent hours slaving over. You have the bottom cookie that full, but the top cookie has a hole in the middle. I wanted to keep with the Christmas theme so I did a star punch out. The cookies with the hole have to be dusted with the powered sugar. On the full cookie you add a jelly of your choice. Then top with top cookie to resemble a sandwich. They came out looking super professional. 

The date balls all I did was put them in mini cupcake cups. Just as simple as that. :)

The last cookies that hade to be decorated where the sugar and gingerbread cookies. I left the cookies out all night to make sure they were cooled completely. My sister work in the morning so I though that we could ice the cookies after supper while listening to Christmas music. 

My favourite part of today was that my little cousin come over and help with decorating cookies. I separated her cookies and I will give them to her on Christmas eve. I loved how my cousin ended up coming over naturally on a perfect day. She was so excited to help and participate, it made my heart and soul smile. 

Happy holidays.

Smudging Ritual

Over the weekend my family and I were invited to my cousins, for a house warming party. As I started talking to my mom about what to get her, a Smudging Kit came to mind. Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing commonly known today as Smudging. It’s a powerful spiritual cleansing technique to purify any space or a brand new home. I had so much fun creating the Smudging Kit. I wanted to share it with you so you can make your own or for family and friend. The kit has all the essential needed smudge stick, small bowl, lighter, candle, feather bundle, and a couple pink quartz to spread the love.  I got excited and started to do some research, I want to know when saging first started, what were the benefits, how often should it be done, where can you buy it and so many more questions. I say that it all started with the Native American to bless an area using sage, flowers and other herbs to clear any unwanted negative energy. This Ceremonial Tradition helps any space feel free of negativ...

Predominant Colour Energy

Energy is everywhere and apart of everything. For this post I want to explain how colour can affect your energy balance. Different colours have an association with a specific feeling and behaviours in your life. Focusing on specific colour can indicate if you are balanced to who you truly are or want to be. This is a simple technique to use to make you you are on the right path for your personal spiritual journey to enlightenment.   If you would like to know what colour your energy is, listen to my meditation on colour energy to see what your predominant colour is. Colour can give you different feelings and emotions when you look at them. A way to control your energy is by wearing a specific colour for the emotion you want to portray. For example if you would like to feel loved and cherished, when your getting dressed you should reach for the colour....... If you want a claiming home environment surround yourself with the colour blue.   Most of us don't...

The Universal Laws

The Universal Laws This past week I really got interested in learning more about the laws of the universe. When I googled it some said there were 12 others said there were 7. These laws are happening naturally if we understand them or not. Even when we don't understand the connection to any obstacles we encounter in our daily life. By not living in the awareness of these laws. you may feel frustrated, confused and lost about your life's purpose. You may feel everything is going wrong for you, no matter what you do, how you act or how much you plan. Things keep going totally wrong. When people start to live their lives with the awareness of the laws of the universe. Begin to feel better, more productive, confident and feeling everything beginning to go their way. If you start to apply these universal laws you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel. So by practicing each of these laws there is such an advantage for personal word.  I'm sure you just want ...
